bad derailment

After the resignation was approved, Jiang Qiushi's life fell into a leisurely pace.

Instead of staying at home to recuperate, he bought a few pots of green plants and flowers and put them on the balcony. He also took care of the cactus I put in the office.Every time you step into the house, the first thing you smell is a burst of natural fragrance.

My body hasn't changed much from before, but luckily my condition didn't get worse.Wearing a thick winter coat, it will not make people think of words like disease. From the outside, it only looks too thin and cold.

He mentioned Shao Qin once.At the dinner table, ending the last daily topic, he said without warning: "Next week, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures."

Holding up my chopsticks, I was stunned for a long time before I heard him continue to say: "After the matter is settled, I can get the divorce certificate in a month."

"...Okay," I nodded, turned my eyes away, and didn't know what to say in silence, "I won't accompany you there."

Jiang Qiushi's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't open his mouth. In the end, it was replaced by a soft 'um', which dissipated in his ears.

I think the blanks on that list are about to be filled with red ticks.

"Lin Yao, someone is looking for you downstairs."

Holding a cup of coffee, Han Ke stopped and knocked when passing by my place, "Don't forget."

I withdrew my thoughts from work and was stunned for two seconds before I remembered to answer: "Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Someone... looking for me?

Finishing the work at hand in a hurry, I took my coat and left the station, and pressed the elevator to the first floor.

Gu Mingsheng?Impossible, he is very busy during this period and can't spare time, not to mention he never looks for me during working hours.

Who would that be?

Until he stepped out of the elevator, the doubts entrenched in his heart were not resolved.

The elevator doors opened to both sides, and the first thing I saw was an elite man in a suit.He wore a pair of glasses, looked down at his watch as if he was waiting for someone, and when he spotted me, he seemed to lock on the target and set off to walk.

Finally stopped in front of me.

"Hi, may I ask you this is Lin Yao, Mr. Lin?"

I looked at him hesitantly, "It's me, what's the matter?"

The man said politely: "Our boss has something to do with you, can we go over and have a chat now?"

"Your boss?"

"His surname is Du, you should know him."

My heart skipped a beat twice, I suppressed the turbulent waves, and said in as calm a voice as possible: "Where is he now?"

The man understood my answer, turned sideways and walked ahead, "I'll show you the way."

The low-key commercial vehicle is parked on the side of the road, not obtrusive in the busy street.A thought popped up in my heart: this time it is finally not a coupe sports car.When he realized this, he shook his head a little ridiculously, and stopped in front of the car.

Through the special glass, only his own face can be reflected.Before I had time to do anything, the car window was lowered a little bit by induction, revealing Du Yuchen's handsome face sitting inside.

"Long time no see, Lin Yao."

He evoked a familiar smile, naturally broke the barrier, and invited like an old friend: "Want to get in the car?"

I pursed my lips, not knowing what he meant, I thought about it and answered cautiously: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Du Yuchen sighed, he was extravagant, and he could see the real joke hidden in his eyes at a glance, "It doesn't matter if you really don't want to sit in, I have something to tell you about Gu Mingsheng. The content is very long, It's complicated, it's about privacy, and if you don't mind listening to the whole thing in this uncomfortable standing position, I don't mind either."

He can always accurately find the weakness in my body, and use cryptic and strong language to break it down bit by bit.

When I met Du Yuchen's frank expression, I didn't hold on after a while, and sat in the car silently.

The car door was gently closed, and in this confined space, apart from the smell of cologne on Du Yuchen's body, there was also the aroma from a bouquet of roses in the back seat.He probably saw the strange look on my face, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, it's not for you. I still have things to do after talking with you. I know you also have a job, so let's make a long story short so as not to delay each other. work."

Every word he uttered was extremely ambiguous, which made me feel a little uncomfortable as he pulled the distance away, so I asked aside the subject, "Now we can talk, what is it?"

Hearing the inquiry, Du Yuchen didn't gossip like before.He suppressed his smile a little, adding a rare sternness to his romantic features, "Lin Yao, do you know what happened to Gu Mingsheng recently?"

I had a bad feeling, especially in such a limited space, facing Du Yuchen who suddenly became a stranger.

"He told me something was wrong at work... What happened? What happened?"

"A little problem," Du Yuchen repeated this sentence, seeming to hook his lips into a helpless smile, "It's indeed a good reason, but it's up to you to judge the whole story."

He took the tablet beside him and stayed on the Weibo page.The light from the screen came into my eyes, and after I took it, the temperature of my body gradually became cold and stiff with every sentence on it.

I don't know how I got through all of it.

Until I finished reading the last line and broke into the countless comments and reposts below, I no longer dared to look down, feeling like I was falling into an ice cellar.

"When...when did this happen?"

Du Yuchen didn't make a sound the whole time, and he replied slowly after I read it: "A few weeks ago. The company started public relations when Weibo first broke out. Although it has entered a cooling-off period now, his lost reputation is irreparable."

I raised my head and retorted uncontrollably: "But the above things are all made up, not the truth at all. Aunt Gu didn't destroy other people's families at all, she was the one who was cheated, and Gu Mingsheng was not an illegitimate child at all. , he is a victim. What else is disrespecting the staff, being late and playing big names... These are obviously not true."

Du Yuchen said: "I know, but the media likes to make explosive headlines, and the public likes to watch bloody ethical incidents. The harm of public opinion has been caused in the moment this Weibo is posted, and it is impossible to recover no matter how whitewashed it is. It was clean from the start."

I held the tablet, my fingers connected to my heart were chilling, and I murmured in a low voice: "He never told me this..."

"There should be a lot of things he didn't tell you," Du Yuchen looked at me, "What's more, the content of this revelation is not all false."

"......what?"

"On the night of NO.17, he had an interview being recorded. The staff and cameras were all ready, but he went on strike without warning, and left the scene without giving any reason."

Du Yuchen looked at me who was frozen, and his tone was unusually cold.

"He doesn't respect the fruits of the staff's labor and is not responsible for his own work. This is playing big. I have asked him, but he didn't explain. But I guess, he went to see you that night, right?"

"I......"

I was a little out of breath, and in this confined space, I could only hear the thunderous heartbeat in my ear, and said in a hoarse voice: "...I didn't even know he had a job that night."

Didn't Xiao Nan say that he was free?

Didn't Gu Mingsheng say that his manager gave him a vacation?When the call came, didn't he drive over without hesitation?

How could it be possible to leave work to see me?

"This can't be..."

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Du Yuchen: "I also think it's impossible, but the fact is that, as his boss, I'm very disappointed with his actions this time."

Du Yuchen's voice was neither light nor heavy, without contemptuous ridicule, and the spreading coldness made me almost unable to look up, "Lin Yao, I bet a lot of chips on Gu Mingsheng, since he refuses to take shortcuts to stay by my side, I also I will not force him to do anything, let alone give up his cash cow. Everyone knows what is more important than love and interests. I thought Gu Mingsheng also understood, so he gave him resources and let him grow. But he did such a ridiculous thing for you. Do you know how much manpower is needed for a public relations? His reputation was damaged, and the originally negotiated cooperative brand was picked up by the other party. It was just such a small incident. It will take several times the time to earn back the numbers. What's more, he is still in the rising period, and any black spot will bring unpredictable negative effects."

He pierced through the condensed air word by word and hit my heart.

"Lin Yao, I've already said these words to Gu Mingsheng once, and I'm telling you again now because I can clearly feel that his heart is no longer on work. Do you know what caused all this?"

I moved my lips and couldn't make a sound, my brain completely shut down when Du Yuchen said the above words.But I know what the answer to this question is.

Du Yuchen looked at me, suddenly loosened his tense shoulders, leaned back on the chair, crossed his fingers on his knees, and sighed softly from his chest: "Actually, I have always been curious about what magic power you have that can make him so obsessed."

There was no malice in his words, only genuine doubts and sighs, as if he really didn't know the answer.

In fact, I don't understand it myself.

"From the first moment I saw Gu Mingsheng, I knew he had ambition and strength. If he maintained this ability, he would have the opportunity to fly to a wider place. I like his frankness about fame and fortune, and I am also satisfied with what he brings to the company. But once in a while, I was wrong." Du Yuchen shrugged, his voice couldn't tell whether it was ironic or not, "Emotions make people lose their minds."

I tightened my palms, my nails dug into the flesh, and my perception was dull for a few seconds before I felt a tingling pain.Maybe it was because of the previous ups and downs, but at this moment he was surprisingly calm: "Thank you for telling me this, I will have a good talk with him when I have time."

Du Yuchen seemed satisfied with this answer, and smiled at me again, softening the cold aura in the car, and patted my shoulder gently, "I'm not forcing you to make a decision, after all, the answer I want is It's very simple. Whether he wants to get up from where he was and reach the top of the circle, or whether he wants to give up his career for you and stay where he is, it all depends on one sentence. I didn't give them a choice when facing other artists I am patient, but since I like his face, I will give him an exception, what do you think of this choice?"

Can I still say a rebuttal?

After getting off the car, Du Yuchen nodded and smiled at me as a signal to leave.I stood where I was, until I could no longer see the shadow of the car, and suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness returning to reality.

The time on the mobile phone showed that the conversation only took 10 to [-] minutes. It was indeed like what Du Yuchen said, to make a long story short, and every word was serious.

I opened Gu Mingsheng's contact interface, and without any thought, I sent him a sentence.

:have time?let's talk.
