deep trap

"80.00% of love starts in bars."

Lao Mao picked up his wine glass and thought for dozens of seconds before he could hold back such a dry sentence, "Xiao Can, the best way to forget the ex is to find the current one, you might as well try."

Lu Can propped his chin with one hand, already a little drunk, "You've learned badly, where did you hear these fallacies?"

"My sister summed it up and said that love is like turning into a butterfly, and new love has to emerge from the old love, and it is more beautiful and better." Lao Mao smiled honestly, "My colleague also said that this bar has a lot of handsome guys. You may not be able to find Yanyu... Hey, look at the waiter over there."

Lao Mao raised his chin towards the door, "Isn't it the kind of tall and big money you like, go ask for a contact information?"

There are two rows of scattered tables near the door. Lu Can looked in the direction Lao Mao pointed, and a tall waiter was taking orders for customers.

He was shaved, with a broad back and strong arms, and the thigh muscles tightened by the uniform were obvious, but not exaggerated. The lines were smooth, thin but still powerful.

The female customer looking at the wine list with an ipad is probably interested in the waiter, her breasts are very close to him, and her winking eyes are hooked on that face.

The lights were dim, and Lu Can couldn't see the waiter's expression clearly. He could only feel that he was a little flustered. He probably didn't know how to deal with the blatant approach.

The figure is really good, either virgin or gay.

Lu Can silently gave two evaluations in his heart, and turned his gaze back to his cup, "Why is Xiaomao failing at school, next year she will take the high school entrance examination, let her restrain herself, and don't always read extracurricular books."

Xiao Mao is Lao Mao's younger sister. Lao Mao sighed, "She has been studying hard since the winter vacation. She was resting at home when she was seriously ill a while ago. I was afraid that she would be bored and bought two magazines from the newsstand. I didn't know that they were full of love stories. Love love, men like men, men like men who are neither men nor women, men who are neither men nor women like men who are neither men nor women... Forget about this, there is not enough wine, order a few more glasses .”

With that said, Lao Mao rang the service bell.The tall waiter just finished ordering the table, and after speaking a few words with the female customer, he strode towards this side with relief.

As he got closer, Lu Can realized that his face was more eye-catching than his figure. Every bone seemed to have been carefully sculpted by a master artist. His brows and eyes were deep, especially the jaw line, which was the unique curvature of a mature man. Lu Can and Lao Mao are about the same age, but they are much more masculine than them.

"Hi sir, do you need an order?"

Even the voice is deeper.

Lao Mao pursed his lips at Lu Can, intentionally prolonging the sound, and hinted: "Xiao Can, order."

Lu Can pretended not to understand, and chose two low-alcohol cocktails.

When the waiter walked away with the drink list, Lao Mao came to Lu Can's side, "Why don't you seize the opportunity and miss it?"

"I just caught my boyfriend at the hotel last week—no, it's an ex-boyfriend now, and he's sharing a room with a college student, and the used condoms are thrown all over the floor, at least two boxes," Lu Can pointed at the top of his head, " My head is brighter than dancefloor lasers, you think I could be in the mood for something else?"

The green laser light flashed, Lao Mao couldn't think of how to comfort his brother for a while, and said embarrassingly: "At the beginning, if you knew Duan Yuyang was like this, we would never agree to you being with him. Eight years, you have been together for eight years, and he also I really deserve it."

"Eight years..." Lu Can snapped his fingers, "Four years in college, four years back in China, so it's been eight years..."

Lu Can agreed to his ex-boyfriend's pursuit when he graduated from high school. The two went abroad to study in university together, and returned to China to work together after graduation.Lu Can found a free position in his own company, while Duan Yuyang worked in a Sino-foreign joint venture, and his life was uneventful.

It wasn't even until today that Lu Can remembered that they had been together for so long.

As it approached ten o'clock, the number of bar customers gradually increased, and the rhythm of the music became faster and faster, preparing for the upcoming late-night carnival.

Lu Can and Mao looked at each other, and silently drank the wine in the glass.Lovelorn is so pretentious and clichéd, rather than comforting, Lao Mao would rather not poke his friend's scars.

They ran out of wine, but fortunately, the last wine ordered came soon, and it was the same waiter who served them just now.

The small round table was piled full, Lu Can wanted to push away the empty wine glass to make room for a new tray.Unexpectedly, the waiter also reached out to push the empty cup as he thought.

Just like that, it accidentally caught him.

The hand covering the back of the hand was big and strong, and the palm was burning hot. Lu Can was stunned, "Ahem, that..."

Only then did the waiter realize that something was wrong, and he withdrew his hand, fighting with his upper and lower lips, "No, sorry sir, I didn't notice you."

Lu Can raised his head and met the waiter's eyes.The other party's eyes were sincere, and there was a suspicious blush at the base of his ears.

...Isn't that embarrassing?

"It's okay," Lu Can teased with a drink, "I don't mind even if you did it on purpose."

The waiter's pretty brows were instantly tightened, and he spoke righteously, with a bit of anger at being wronged: "Don't say that, I really didn't mean it!"

Yo, honest man, Lu Can has no doubts that if he keeps talking, the waiter will fight him for "innocence", so he quickly raised his hands to apologize: "I'm sorry, sorry, I blamed you."

"You wait." The waiter picked up the tray and fled the table as quickly as he fled from the female customer.

Lao Mao smacked his lips as he watched, and was even more satisfied with the "next spring" he chose for Lu Can: "Xiao Can, how are you? Handsome and honest, much better than Duan Yuyang!"

Lu Can had never seen such an honest man, so he made fun of him.However, he had no other thoughts other than being surprised, so he changed the subject and continued drinking.

After a while, Lao Mao's cell phone buzzed non-stop. After picking it up in the corridor, he hurriedly grabbed his coat, "Xiao Can, Xiao Mao has a fever, I have to go back and check. I called you a driver, about two Arrive in 10 minutes, remember to report that you are safe when you get home, and you are absolutely not allowed to renew the stall!"

Lu Can waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, you are more nagging than my dad."

Lao Mao was worried, and turned around every step.

In fact, Lu Can was dragged out by Lao Mao tonight, and he would rather stay at home than drink away his worries.

He didn't want to stay for a long time at all, so he left the gate of the bar without waiting for the driver to arrive, and walked slowly along the road to the parking lot.

In late autumn, Bincheng was terribly cold, and a few dead leaves hung on the branches, much like Lu Can's mood at the moment.

Lu Can gathered his coat and concentrated on counting how many floor tiles he walked.When I counted to the 118th block, I heard a sharp sound of "Zi La", and then the alarm sounded from the car key in my pocket.

Looking up towards the parking lot, a motorcycle was leaning against his door, with several obvious scratch marks on the door.

The two drunks in front supported each other and sang and cried. They could guess with their toes that the motorcycle was to avoid them from accidentally hitting his car.

The half-dead leaves on the branches fell off, and Lu Can's mood fell to the bottom.

Probably sensing someone, the motorcycle owner turned off the engine and turned back. It was a voice he had just heard not long ago: "Sorry, how much is the repair fee, I will pay...you."

Lu Can didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the honest waiter at the bar, "...No need to pay, I'll take the insurance. Are you off work?"

"Morning shift today," the waiter said stubbornly, "I should pay for the car I scratched. Tell me how much it is, and I will transfer it to you now."

Lu Can looked at the other party's motorcycle. It was old and had obvious signs of use.Look at the clothes on this person again. The T-shirt is from a fast-moving consumer brand, and the neckline has been washed white. He must live a frugal life.

It wasn't Lu Can showing off his wealth. This car was a gift from his father the year he returned to China. Even if it was just a touch-up of paint and a new car film, the price was enough for ordinary people to describe it as "wounding".

Lu Can wanted to continue to refuse, but at this moment the phone vibrated violently, and the surrogate driver called by Lao Mao suddenly called him, saying that his wife was going to have a baby and couldn't come.

"...Can you drive?" Lu Can rubbed his forehead and threw the car keys to the waiter. "Lock your motorcycle here and take me home first."

Lu Can lives in the city center, a garden house on the first floor of a boutique community. His mother gave it to him - his parents divorced and remarried in junior high school. Every important day, he always receives two gifts.

The bar is not far from home, about 10 minutes by car, neither of them spoke on the road.The honest man drove very steadily. Lu Can thought that he would be made more dizzy by the motorcycle rider when he was already drunk, but nothing happened after getting off the car, which made him feel a little better.

The waiter parked the car in the small garden garage and returned the key to Lu Can.A gust of wind blew, and the scene he saw in the hotel room last week inexplicably appeared in Lu Can's mind.

"gentlemen."

The waiter interrupted Lu Can's thoughts, "Can you tell me the cost of repairing the car?"

"...The driving fee you paid for taking me home just now is just enough to offset it. You can get a taxi at the intersection of the community. Thank you for taking me back."

After speaking, Lu Can turned and opened the door, not wanting to worry about the car repair fee anymore.After pressing the combination lock, there was still silence behind him.

Looking back, the waiter did not leave.

"What are you doing in front of my house?" Lu Can licked his lips, thinking of Lao Mao's words, "Why don't you... come in and have a cup of tea?"

"You can't drink tea at night," the waiter said truthfully, "it's easy to fall asleep."

"Ah... I also have red wine at home."

"I have to go to work tomorrow," the waiter said again, "Drinking and getting hangover will delay going to work."

"..." Growing up so big, Lu Can has never been rejected repeatedly, and said three "yes" in one breath, "Okay, okay, then you can continue to stick around!"

After opening the door, entering and locking the door, Lu Can threw the car keys on the key holder, reported Lao Mao's safety, and rushed directly to the bathroom to take a shower in anger.

He turned on the shower and took a shower. He didn't bother to dry his hair. After drying off the water, he dragged his legs and threw himself into the bed.He was obviously very tired, but when he closed his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy.

Hearing that handwashing helps sleep, he didn't want to keep his eyes open all night like last night, rubbing his clothes through his clothes a few times.

no response.

It's over, Lu Can thought to himself, he even lost his worldly desires.

Today is a rare sunny day in recent days, the moonlight spreads on the quilt, and the bright people are upset.

Lu Can couldn't find his slippers, so he went barefoot to draw the curtains.The window of the bedroom faced the small garden. Lu Can glanced outside, then froze, showing an expression of disbelief.

——The waiter is still standing in his original position!

He had his hands in his trouser pockets, half a cigarette between his lips.The fireworks blown by the wind flickered on and off, and the stars in his eyes flickered on and off, like a silent stone sculpture, the kind carved by Michelangelo.

It was almost midnight now, four or ten minutes had passed since the two of them parted ways, Lu Can couldn't help but opened the window, and whispered, "Hey, what are you doing in my yard, go home!"

The man looked around to confirm that the voice came from the small window on the right, "You let me continue to stick."

"You don't understand angry words, what do I tell you to do?" Lu Can couldn't laugh or cry.

The man pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.

This guy was so honest that it was outrageous, Lu Can felt a little interesting, "If I don't tell you how much the compensation will be, won't you leave?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I don't want money. From tomorrow, you will be my exclusive driver to pay off the debt for a period of one month, and you will be on call at any time. Do you agree?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Can realized that even his ex-boyfriend couldn't be on call. How could he ask for strangers?

Lu Can opened his mouth, ready to withdraw the "on call", the next second saw the man spit out smoke, "Okay, I'm on call."

Chapter 2 Is Lu Can Really That Bad?Duan Yuyang, who has been together for eight years, cheats as soon as he says he cheats, and even the waiter is not tempted by him.

The other party promised so readily, Lu Can was a little hesitant, until he saw the waiter's serious expression, he realized that honest people can't lie, he said he can do it, then he will definitely do it.

The transaction was concluded happily, Lu Can fished out the mobile phone on the bedside table, called up the QR code, "Come, add a WeChat."

The waiter turned on "Scan", but it was too dark and the two were far away, so they didn't recognize it after several scans.

Lu Can was anxious, "Hey, can't you move? Come here, come to my side."

"Oh." The waiter finally opened his legs and stood obediently in front of the small window.

Only then did Lu Can realize that the waiter was almost half a head taller than him.You must know that although he lives on the first floor, the bedroom floor is relatively thick to prevent moisture. If the floor is removed, his forehead can only reach the position of the waiter's chin.

It was so unfair when Nu Wa created humans!

Still drunk, Lu Can was afraid of falling, so he put his elbows on the window sill and fiddled with his phone.Lean your upper body forward, draw an undulating line from your back to your waist and buttocks.

Ji Mingze's gaze fell on it for two seconds, before he was discovered by the other party, he retracted and pointed the camera at Lu Can's QR code.

With a "ding", the friend request is sent successfully.

Lu Can saw the head of the waiter, which was a rising sun, which was different from what this person gave him.The waiter should be the sun at two o'clock in the afternoon, the strongest and most masculine.

He clicked the "Pass" button, "I will call or send you a message in advance if I need a car."

"Well," Ji Mingze repeated, "on call."

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the Bincheng High-tech Development Zone, in the office area of ​​Yuntu Aerospace.

Dong Zhuo passed by three male colleagues whose hair was too thin, and two female colleagues whose pores were large enough to plant rice seedlings, and waited at the door of the general manager's office for another 5 minutes before finally escorting the coffee to the destination.

The coffee was too full today, and when the bottom of the cup hit the table, two drops splashed on the photo frame. Dong Zhuo hurriedly took out a tissue, trying to wipe it off for the boss.

With one hand in front of him, "No, I will do it myself."

Dong Zhuo shyly took back the tissue, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji."

"It's okay," the man said while wiping the photo frame, "Thank you for your help last night."

Last night, the boss suddenly asked him to come out to act as a drunkard, and Dong Zhuo was completely confused when he heard the request.What was even more confusing was that he also heard the boss call a driving platform and asked to find a certain driver.

"These are what I should do," Dong Zhuo scratched his head, "but... why are you looking for a driver?"

"Don't do it."

The man paused for a few seconds before saying, "Business."

...to steal business?

Dong Zhuo suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.Isn't Yuntu doing aviation? What kind of business is they competing with the driving platform? Could it be that the boss led a scientific research team to develop a commuter-type manned rocket?

It's 2021, he remembers correctly, right?

While he was thinking wildly, the boss kept polishing the photo frame intently, as if he cherished it—to be precise, he cherished the photos inside.

Dong Zhuo has been curious about photos for a long time. The cloud map he entered the year before last, during the two years from doing odd jobs to becoming an assistant researcher, this photo frame has been placed on the right side of the boss's computer, where he can see it when he looks up.

The strangest thing is that when I was an intern in other companies, those bosses liked to put up photos of themselves receiving awards or giving speeches, but the current boss did not take the usual way, and put on a photo of his high school graduation.

When he was helping the boss tidy up the table, he took a peek, but he didn't find the boss inside. Of course, it might be because his face has changed a lot over the years, so he didn't recognize him for a while.

...so why put up a high school graduation picture?

Gently wiped off the dirt with a wet towel, and then dried it with a silk handkerchief, Ji Mingze raised his head, "Is there anything else to report?"

"...Ah, yes," Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, "Mr. Zhang from Guangrui came again and said that after discussing with their company, they finally decided to order liquid engines from Yuntu."

Ji Mingze said "Yes", "Take Mr. Zhang to the reception room and treat him well. I'll go over later."

Dong Zhuo's tone was not angry: "We still have to treat him well...well, I get it."

Two months ago, Guangrui contacted Yuntu to order liquid engines.As a result, after several negotiations and the price was almost negotiated, the news that Guangrui was about to cooperate with a rival company suddenly spread in the industry.The rival company offered a lower price, and sure enough, Guangrui disappeared.

The employees of Yuntu complained about this, and Dong Zhuo was no exception, and he accepted the order to leave unjustly.

Ji Mingze arrived in the reception room half an hour later.

Seeing him come in, a trace of displeasure flashed across Guangrui Zhang's vice president's face, he stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, we meet again."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, to keep you waiting." Ji Mingze shook hands with him politely, without explaining why he was late.

"It's okay, I know you're busy, please be busy... I heard that your company's funding for civilian rocket research has been approved? Congratulations."

Ji Mingze nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Based on the basis of the previous negotiations, the content of the contract was finalized in only half an hour this time, and there was no change except for a few clauses.

Guangrui changed partners halfway, and came back to Yuntu two months later. Everyone could guess that the rival company's products were not good enough to meet Guangrui's acceptance standards, and the cooperation was cancelled.

This matter was handled very carelessly. Mr. Zhang was already prepared for Yuntu to take the opportunity to increase the price, or to increase the advance payment, and he was also prepared to be ridiculed. Ji Mingze was arrogant enough, so he didn't say anything.

"Then I'll go back and ask the purchasing department to draw up the contract. I'll work overtime at noon today, and I can draw it up in the afternoon." Things are going well, and Mr. Zhang is very happy. "Brother Ji, do you have time in the afternoon? Let's sign the contract directly?"

Ji Mingze asked about Dong Zhuo's schedule. Dong Zhuo said that there was an appointment for a meeting in the afternoon. Mr. Zhang hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

It was delayed for two months by the rival company, Guangrui urgently needed this batch of goods, otherwise it would not be able to complete Party A's order on time, and it would be one day ahead of schedule.

Ji Mingze stood up and shook hands with him, "See you this afternoon."

Under the desperate urging of Mr. Zhang, Guangrui's purchasing department urgently drew up a contract.After passing the review by the legal department and taking the contract to Yuntu, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ji Mingze chatted with the reservation guest for a long time, and he came out of the office at 04:30 in the afternoon. Mr. Zhang, who was eager to see through, hurriedly said: "Come, come, sign the contract."

Ji Mingze took the contract, and instead of calling Yuntu's legal counsel, he went through the terms one by one by himself.After looking at it for half an hour, he picked up his pen——

One second before signing, he suddenly threw the pen aside, "I don't want to sign anymore."

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Brother Ji, what do you mean?"

Ji Mingze explained patiently: "I don't want to cooperate with your company anymore, sorry."

Only then did Mr. Zhang realize that he was being played by someone, and his face was pulled down, "Xiao Ji, as a senior, I am willing to tell you because I think you have a lot to do. Temporary breach of the contract is a sign of lack of contract spirit, and it will ruin Yuntu's reputation." , after a long time, which company is willing to cooperate with you in the future?"

"Okay, I'll make a note. Mr. Zhang, I'll take you out."

Gentleman Ji Mingze sent Mr. Zhang to the car politely.Seeing this posture, the driver of Guangrui thought that things were going well, and congratulated him repeatedly, which made Mr. Zhang look even worse.

Standing behind Ji Mingze, Dong Zhuo let out a long breath, and was almost suffocated by the laughter!

When the car was out of sight, Ji Mingze turned back to Yuntu, and Dong Zhuo hurriedly turned to follow.In the morning, he thought that the boss was a little bit wronged because he didn't care about the past, but he didn't expect that he would feel completely refreshed, until his scalp tingled.

But after thinking about it, this also means that Yuntu has lost a lot of orders.Nearly 3000 million, the more I think about it, the more distressed I feel.

"...Mr. Ji," Dong Zhuo had only been in the workplace for a short time, and he didn't think too much about what to say, "It's a pity that Guangrui's order was lost."

Ji Mingze: "Yes."

Dong Zhuo said: "I thought you really wanted to continue to cooperate with Guangrui. If it were me, I would definitely ridicule them first to vent my anger. Anyway, they were the ones who got it back first. If you can't stand it, you have to bear it!"

Ji Mingze didn't speak. When he returned to the office, he glanced at the photo frame and stated the facts: "Guangrui has the right to freely choose his partner."

It's just that he doesn't like to be the one being compared.

Perhaps it was the repeated "on call" that gave Lu Can a sense of security. He fell asleep quickly, and after sleeping until the afternoon, his tired spirit recovered a lot.

After fully waking up, Lu Can realized what he did last night.

Last night, he flirted with a strange waiter in a bar, forced him to take him home, and tried to seduce him to "come in for a drink".

Anyone with a little bit of emotional intelligence knows what it means to "come in for a drink"-it's just a glorified rhetoric for dating.At that time, he recalled the scene of Duan Yuyang's derailment, and said that impulsively, thinking about it now, he was a little scared.

Although a man is not chaste or chaste, and he has no obsession with Duan Yuyang, but sleeping with a stranger...he still can't accept it.

Fortunately, the waiter was more honest, so I didn't follow him.

...Oh no, he is ugly or has a poor figure, why doesn't the waiter follow him? ? ?

"Zizi-"

At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated violently, and Lu Can grabbed the phone with a small face. It was a call from Qin Yuanyuan.

Like Lao Mao, Qin Yuanyuan is also Lu Can's high school classmate, and the four of them had a very good relationship when they were in school.Qin Yuanyuan is the youngest, plus she is a girl, everyone dotes on her very much.

Lu Can pressed to connect: "Yuanmeier."

An energetic voice came from the other end of the phone, "Brother Can, come out for dinner tonight, we haven't seen each other for almost a month!"

Lu Can knew that his friends came to him to comfort him. If he didn't go at this time, his friends would be worried, "Okay, I'll pick you up."

"No, let's gather at the restaurant," Qin Yuanyuan said, "I won't work overtime tonight, and I can play something else after dinner. The location of the restaurant has been sent to your WeChat."

"Let me see."

Lu Can responded, hung up the phone and opened the WeChat client.

I don't know where everyone heard the news of his broken love. Condolence messages kept coming in. He scrolled through several pages before he found the new friend he added last night.

After the divorce, his mother transferred all the shares of the Lu family to him, and the annual dividends alone are enough to live a good life, so Lu Can didn't want to worry about the tens of thousands of yuan in car repairs, and agreeing to the waiter last night was purely a delay.

But when I think of the face of the waiter rejecting him, I feel very unwilling.

Is he, Lu Can, really that bad?Duan Yuyang, who has been together for eight years, cheats as soon as he says he cheats, and even the waiter is not tempted by him.

No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.Lu Can opened the dialog box.

Volcano: [Hi, do you still remember me [waving hand]]

The waiter may be busy there, and it took 5 minutes to return: [Need a pick-up? 】

Huo Huan: [Yes, my friend asked me for dinner. 】

But Lu Can was not so angry that he lost his mind, and continued to type: I will use the car in about half an hour, if you go to work, forget it, if you don't go to work——

When you hit here, an extra message appears on the screen.

J: [Arrive in half an hour, wait for me]
