sickness

What Zang Bai was worried about really happened. Zang Ningrong contacted him and said that it would be Zang Qingshan's birthday in two days, and asked him to go back to Qiurong Road, where his family would gather together to celebrate his father's birthday.

This was obviously an excuse, they didn't even celebrate the anniversary of his father's death, yet they would suddenly think of Mingshou.Even an excuse is so clumsy, as if she has the confidence to call Zang Bai immediately, it's not worth her finding a better reason.

It was late at night, Uncle Hua was away, and the other servants were afraid of Lin Bochuan, and they didn't wander around the house very much when they were free, and the whole house was silent in the dark.

Only the lights in the upstairs study room were still on, and Lin Bochuan was still working.There is less than a month until the end of submitting the bidding documents. It takes a lot of work to prepare the bidding documents for such a project, and Lin Bochuan happens to be a picky person.

Zang Bai knocked on the door.

"Enter."

"If you don't sleep so late, you're not afraid of becoming bald."

At this time, Lin Bochuan was also a little tired. He leaned on the leather chair, crossed his legs and rested on the edge of the desk, and took a tablet and a capacitive pen to circle the places that he thought were inappropriate in the first draft.Seeing Zang Bai come in, he retracted his legs.

"You didn't sleep too, are you afraid that I will become bald alone and want to accompany me?"

"My dad's birthday is two days away, and I have to go home. I can't attend the meeting on Wednesday."

"Ah."

I didn't expect Lin Bochuan to agree so quickly. Is he really not afraid that he will go back and collude with his brother and sister? Is this person so confident?

"I'm here to tell you that you should go to bed earlier."

After Zang Bai finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Lin Bochuan was seeing a certain difficulty, frowning and beckoning to Zang Bai: "Come here."

"What?"

"Come when you're told, don't whine."

Zang Bai walked over impatiently, and Lin Bochuan immediately held the tablet in front of him: "Help me see the first draft submitted by Zhou Chuang."

"Look at what?"

"See what needs to be modified."

Zang Bai smiled self-deprecatingly: "Boss Lin is flattering me too much, can I pick out the faults of a talented student like Zhou Zhu?"

Lin Bochuan pulled another chair over and sat Zang Bai down: "If you can't pick one, you have to pick it slowly. It's true that Zhou Chuang is a talented student, but in the end he's just a man of work. What you need is not his ability."

As soon as Zang Bai sat down, Lin Bochuan simply gave him the entire tablet, but stood up himself.

"where are you going?"

"Look first, I'll make a cup of coffee."

The door was gently closed, and Zang Bai glanced at the page number. There were more than 200 pages, and his heart sank halfway.He didn't look back, but started from the first page, looking at the parts marked by Lin Bochuan first, and learning from Mr. Lin's thinking.

After a while, Lin Bochuan brought up two cups of coffee, and handed one to Zang Bai.

"..." Zang Bai looked at him, "Drinking coffee at night, do you still want to sleep?"

Lin Bochuan looked at him with a smile on his lips: "It's such a pity to sleep on such a beautiful night, it's better to use it for work."

Zang Baibai gave him a look: "I'm not a workaholic."

"Really, who stays up in the middle of the night and draws in the backyard until the wee hours of the morning?"

"..."

When did Lin Bochuan see it?

"Try it, I'm pretty good at making coffee."

Zang Bai glanced at him suspiciously, took a sip, it was sugar-free, full of milk flavor, and the aftertaste of top-quality coffee beans was very burnt and rich.Zang Bai looked at Lin Bochuan in surprise, and what was even more surprising was that he knew his own taste.

"With your skills, if the Lin family goes bankrupt one day, you can go to work in a coffee shop to support yourself."

Lin Bochuan snorted and laughed twice: "This is the first time I've heard such a compliment."

After drinking the coffee, Lin Bochuan took another tablet from the drawer and continued his work.Zang Bai was also beside him, watching quietly.Everything was silent except for the ticking of the antique clock.Zang Bai is not someone who can't sit still, as long as he puts himself into it, he will take it very seriously.At the hour, the clock jingled, Zang Bai raised his head, stretched his aching neck, glanced to the side, and found that Lin Bochuan seemed to have fallen asleep.

He still sat with his back in the chair, holding the tablet in his hand, and closed his eyes so quietly, his chest rose and fell gently with his breathing.His slightly reclined posture allows the light to illuminate his face clearly. His thick and curly eyelashes, straight nose bridge and tough outline make him look like an exquisite marble statue.

However, the broken hair scattered on his forehead makes him look very young, making it clear that he is not yet 30 years old.Most of the dandies of his age are still squandering. Even the appointed heirs of the family are still growing up and learning under the urging of their elders, and they cannot yet be independent.Even Lin Bowei still relies on Lin Guangyue as his backer.

Lin Bochuan has no one to rely on, and no one is willing to support him, so he has to rely on himself to fight for everything.Speaking of which, he was given a team of people for this bidding, but the "old men" of these companies only provided the information and data they should provide, and they did their duties, and they never took any more responsibility.Only Zhou Chuang can do the following things, and the real success or failure depends on Lin Bochuan alone.

If he wants to face it alone, he has to grow up, even if it is to encourage growth, he has to show refinement and maturity in dealing with the world, and show a sense of responsibility and responsibility.He seems confident and methodical, giving the impression that everything is under control, and talking about projects as if they are already in his pocket.Actually?Does he feel the pressure, does he feel tired and anxious, is he afraid of failure in the end?

Zang Bai couldn't find out, but he suddenly remembered that when he was in a state of confusion, he would call his mother, would coquettishly say that he was uncomfortable, needed hugs and comfort, and only wanted to eat a canned fruit.

"Go back to your room and sleep."

Zang Bai's voice was not loud, but Lin Bochuan heard it.He opened his eyes, and when he looked at Zang Bai, his eyes were still clear: "Huh? What did you just say?"

"I told you to go back to your room and sleep when you're sleepy."

Lin Bochuan tilted his head: "I'm not sleepy, I'm just thinking about something."

"Thinking of things, eyes closed so dead, still snoring?"

Lin Bochuan laughed: "Don't try to lie to me, I don't snore."

"If you close your eyes and think about things, you will think more deeply."

"..." Zang Bai yawned, "I don't care about you, I'm going to sleep first."

Lin Bochuan called him to stop him: "You go home on Wednesday, so I won't accompany you. I've been very busy recently, so I apologize to your mother, and I'll visit you next time. It's cold, so I have someone prepare some clothes and Health care products, you ask Hua...Xiaohao to deliver them with you."

"Ah."

Lin Bochuan glanced at the time on the clock: "Go to sleep."

Zang Bai glanced at Lin Bochuan, and suddenly said: "You really don't plan to call Uncle Hua back? He has been working in your house for decades, and you asked him to leave for this matter, isn't it a little too shameless?" Conscience."

Lin Bochuan looked at Zang Bai in surprise: "Uncle Hua asked you to tell me?"

"He called me and asked if you were still mad at him."

"Aren't you always at odds with Uncle Hua, and you still speak for him?"

Zang Bai said: "I see no one to take care of you, you worked too hard and died young."

"So you were worried about me," Lin Bochuan clasped his hands on his knees, looked at Zang Bai and smiled, "You can also take care of it yourself, the housekeeper is also a big expense."

"Then you'd better die young."

"Then don't you want to be a widow?"

"You think I'll be a widow with your inheritance?"

Lin Bochuan slapped his head: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, my will has been written long ago, and when I die, all the inheritance will be donated to the orphanage. Don't you know how to cook fried rice? If I die, you can find a restaurant. And live well."

"..."

"Whether you want Uncle Hua to come back, give me an answer."

Uncle Hua called Zang Bai out for tea yesterday, and asked him to say something nice to Lin Bochuan.Anyone could tell that the old man didn't care about the reward, but was really worried that Lin Bochuan would not be taken care of.Zang Bai also saw that Lin Bochuan's life was very awkward when Uncle Hua was not around.He gets up very early every morning, but he has to toss about an hour upstairs.It was only later that Zang Bai found out that he was cleaning his room himself.This person is really cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he doesn't trust others to touch his things.

"Wait a few more days. You know that caring will lead to chaos. Sometimes Uncle Hua thinks he is doing good for me, but in fact it will be bad. This incident has not caused any serious consequences, and it may happen in the future. I have to put an end to his habit. .

"So don't talk to him about this, let him think about it for himself, and I will let him come back in a few days."

--

Sure enough, Zang Ningrong called him home not just for a simple meal.

After lunch, while Bai Yuzhen was taking a nap, Zang Ningrong asked Zang Bai to drink tea in the yard.Lin Bochuan asked him to bring back the super-grade Longjing. The clear green tea soup in the glass was covered with dense white mist under the early winter sun.

Zang Ningrong held the cup to warm her hands, looked at the dark old house in front of her from time to time, and said, "It's been several months, and I haven't had time to transfer ownership of this house with you."

Zang Bai sneered in his heart, but what he said was very understanding: "I know that the third sister is busy, so I'm not in a hurry. When you are free, you can ask the eldest brother and the second brother to go."

"Well, it's almost over." Zang Ningrong picked up the oranges on the stone table and asked casually while peeling them, "You should also know about the bidding for the project of the gymnasium of the municipal government recently. The Lin family also participated in the bidding."

It is impossible not to know about this kind of thing, Zang Bai nodded.

"Our family also participated, and Linsheng Real Estate is our biggest competitor."

"Yeah." Zang Bai held the cup to drink water.

"This bidding is very important to us. Zang Bai, you also know that several industries in our family, whether it is the steel factory of the eldest brother or the glass factory that Dad gave you, are currently overcapacity and the competition is fierce. The profit is also low. Things cannot be sold and no money can be made, all of which are struggling.

"This project is an opportunity for us to transform, and it is also a good time to consume our own production capacity. No matter how you look at it, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have made full preparations, but knowing ourselves and the enemy can win every battle. I hope you can help us Take it home."
