The Jiang family's old house is quaint, but the basement has been decorated by the old man into a home theater with a strong sense of technology.
In the past, Mr. Jiang would sit alone on the two-seat sofa in the center. Today, he had already cut off his love and wanted to leave the other half of the sofa to Xiao Xie, a new actor whom he was very optimistic about...
But of course he sat next to his wife very naturally.
Old cabbage... yellow ground...
Mr. Jiang grabbed a handful of hair and pulled Father Jiang over to whisper.
"Xiao Xie is the one who married Yu Shuang, why didn't you tell me!!" The old man felt that he had lost all his old face, and gritted his teeth fiercely to accuse his son Xingshi.
Father Jiang is innocent: "Dad, I sent you the photos of Yu Shuang's wedding."
Mr. Jiang: ...
He suddenly thought of something, shook off the burden of embarrassment and asked anxiously: "Also, what you told me earlier about Yu Shuang's divorce...Really?! What's going on!"
"I still want to ask you..." Father Jiang laughed, "Where did you know that Xiao Xie and his lover are very affectionate..."
"The director of their crew, Xiao Zhao." Mr. Jiang said anxiously, "This, this! Xiao Zhao seems to be such an honest person, how could he lie to the old man?!"
Father Jiang suppressed a smile and sighed.
The movie on the screen started to play, and the old man failed to watch it seriously for the first time. Two hours later, the screen dimmed and the light strips came on, and old man Jiang coughed lightly: "Hey... this, let's not appreciate it today, haha , go back to each house... Yu Shuang."
Jiang Yushuang paused and turned around.
This was the first time Mr. Jiang called him alone.
"You stay here..." Mr. Jiang said, seeing Xie Qianye who was following Jiang Yushuang looking back at him, he added a sentence with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Xie is waiting outside."
Soon only the grandpa and grandson were left in the screening room.
"...Grandpa." Jiang Yushuang said with some unfamiliarity.
Mr. Jiang spoke for a long time before opening his mouth: "Do you like photography?"
Jiang Yushuang was taken aback, but didn't know how to answer.
Mr. Jiang took out a edited photo from his pocket, and put it in front of him: "This, you took it, right?"
"...Yes." Jiang Yushuang looked at the photo in a daze.
For his body, that was only a few days ago, but for the soul occupying the body now, it was already three or four years ago.
Jiang Yushuang's brain almost only stores things related to work, and he always forgets the formal memories of business marriages and weddings.
However, looking at this photo at this moment, Jiang Yushuang unexpectedly recalled the scene of that day.
……
It was his wedding day... Or, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a business dinner co-hosted by Jiang and Xie.He ended a social gathering that he knew everyone knew, and he suddenly felt tired.
There are always people who want to exchange a fake face for their true heart.For the rest of his life, he will be trapped in this torrent full of interests and barriers.
This marriage is just the beginning.
He put down the empty glass, walked from the dark place where no one noticed to the corner of the banquet hall, and saw this bouquet of roses, which were obviously delicate and beautiful, but could only be forgotten in the corner and no one appreciated them.
Jiang Yushuang suddenly felt that this rose was very similar to his new marriage partner - that man who could be called gorgeous in appearance, but alienated in every gesture.
……
He suddenly chuckled, noticing the seldom lightness in the smile, Jiang Yushuang was stunned for a moment.
Mr. Jiang looked at him and asked, "I guess you're thinking...Xiao Xie?"
Jiang Yushuang looked up: "How do you know?"
Mr. Jiang snorted triumphantly: "Old man, I eat more salt than your kid."
"Grandpa, where did you get this photo?" Jiang Yushuang hesitated before asking, "I haven't sent this photo to anyone."
"Ah?" Mr. Jiang visibly froze for a moment.
Could it be that he is going to be the chief culprit who provoked the conflict in his grandson's family...
Mr. Jiang was about to search for an explanation in his mind when he suddenly heard Jiang Yushuang say.
"Xie Qianye showed it to you?"
"You know?" Mr. Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, "Damn, I thought Xiao Xie got it from you secretly."
"..." Jiang Yushuang was silent for a long while, then smiled lightly, but it was completely different from the smile she gave when she saw the photo just now, with some deep meaning.
Although Mr. Jiang is still working hard to be a healthy and happy little old man, the years are not forgiving, and his degraded hearing is no longer enough to support him to hear such details.
"Yu Shuang..." The old man held the photo and looked at it fondly, "Are there any other photos?"
Hearing grandpa's question, Jiang Yushuang suddenly had an unlikely thought.
He suppressed the thoughts in his heart that were climbing like vines, and took out the phone photo album and handed it over.
Mr. Jiang took it, flipped it over and looked at it, the smile on his face deepened.
Jiang Yushuang pursed her lips.
The sound isolation of the home theater is very good, only the faint white noise of the projector can be heard.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, or maybe just a few tens of seconds, old man Jiang spoke.
"You like photography."
The old man was no longer in the questioning tone just now, he answered with more certainty than Jiang Yushuang himself.
Jiang Yushuang's heart speeded up suddenly, and the heavy burden of responsibility on his body forced him to refute, but in the end he was defeated by the obsession gushing out of his heart like magma.
"...Hmm." The dry voice only spat out one byte.
He cannot refute.
Only this matter, he could not refute.
This is his last truth wrapped in the hypocritical mask of a businessman.
Mr. Jiang suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ha ha ha - good!"
Under Jiang Yushuang's blank gaze, Mr. Jiang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder,
"Yu Shuang, would you like to learn photography from grandpa?"
Jiang Yushuang sat in the car on the way home without making a sound.
Xie Qianye, who was sitting next to him in the back seat, looked at him frequently, but failed to attract his attention.
It was not until the car stopped in the garage that Xie Qianye took two quick steps to catch up with Jiang Yushuang who got out of the car.
"Are you... angry?" He probed.
He never expected that when he entered Jiang's house today, he would be in such an embarrassing scene.
He thought that Mr. Jiang took good care of him because of his status as "granddaughter-in-law"... As a result, the old man had never seen a picture of his granddaughter-in-law.
Although he knew in his heart that with Jiang Yushuang's clever mind, he would not misunderstand that he deliberately lied to the old man, but Xie Qianye still felt that he had to explain clearly.
Whether his wife cares about it is one thing, but whether he says it or not is another.
Xie Qianye, who had already prepared a draft in his heart along the way and was ready to bear the consequences of excessive contact with the soul-bound person, was about to announce the Demon King's "Edict of Guilt", but heard Jiang Yushuang reply him.
"No."
His voice was clear and cold, no different from usual, without any restrained anger at all.
Xie Qianye was dumbfounded.
He followed Jiang Yushuang step by step, keeping a safe distance for him, and did not speak again.
In fact, Jiang Yushuang didn't know how to face Xie Qianye now.
Since her rebirth, especially after discovering that she has a mind-reading skill that is almost cheating, Jiang Yushuang has fallen into a feeling of ease in both work and life.
But he suddenly discovered that Xie Qianye seemed to be the only one who made him feel troublesome.
The things read by mind reading are wild and unconstrained, and sometimes there are even some...excessive scenes.
What made him even more concerned was that he was completely unable to infer anything about Xie Qianye from these things.
Obviously possessing mind reading skills, Xie Qianye was still a mystery in front of him.
The two entered the room with different thoughts.
Jiang Yushuang couldn't help turning her head back, and "Mystery" herself happened to turn her head back, meeting his gaze and meeting him.
"Good night." He said inexplicably.
Xie Qianye pursed his lips.
"……Good night."
The complicated emotions in his eyes made Jiang Yushuang want to read his heart at the moment.
However, in the next second, the wooden door was gently closed, blocking Jiang Yushuang's probing eyes.
The next day, when Jiang Yushuang woke up, there was another hot breakfast in the dining room, and the temperature was just right, as if he knew exactly what time he was going to eat.
But Jiang Yushuang decided to let go of these "just in time" for the time being, and sat down at the dining table—a pleasant day starts with a delicious breakfast.
Before going out, he glanced at Xie Qianye's shoes that were still in place at the entrance, and remained calm.
He pulled a tissue and bent down, then made a sudden movement.
He remembered... There was a conspicuous streak of ash on the toe of his shoe.But the leather shoes in front of him were as clean as brand new.
As if his brain was about to give him an answer, he suddenly recalled his actions in the restaurant yesterday.
He stretched out the toe of his shoe...Under the tablecloth, it stuck to Xie Qianye's ankle.
Jiang Yushuang's face turned red suddenly, and she cursed secretly in her heart.
Memories are like a third-person perspective, looking in from the corner of the lifted tablecloth, the light and shadow under the table are dim, and Jiang Yushuang realizes how out of bounds that action is.
Although he cleans his body, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand these things. In fact, he has seen many of them.
But this is the first time I've done it myself.
The cold toe of the shoe is attached to the warm bare|exposed ankle, which seems to be a signal of some kind of hint and invitation.
……
The thoughts in his head became more and more chaotic, and the knowledge that the other protagonist was sleeping in this house made Jiang Yushuang almost restless.
He got up and almost rushed out the door.
Xie Qianye didn't wake up until mid-sun.
The movie he was filming had finished his part yesterday, and his agent has not yet found a suitable script. He rejected all kinds of messy announcements and prepared to start working as his house husband at home.
He waved his hand and opened the curtains with magic. The warm sunlight fell on his face, and Xie Qianye let out a long breath.
"Aotian." He said.
The mechanical voice answered positively: "I am here."
"Human happiness is so simple."
"Master Demon King, it's rare for you to say something very philosophical."
Xie Qianye: ...
What kind of broken artificial intelligence, forget it.
He turned over and got up and went straight to the kitchen. He didn't go out with the packed lunch box until meal time, when the aroma of mixed food filled the whole room.
Xie Qianye skillfully put on his baseball cap, put on his sunglasses and mask, snapped his fingers, and in the next second he appeared in the monitoring blind spot of Jade Bird Technology's underground garage.
Jade Bird Technology is on the top three floors of this building, and Xie Qian walked to the front desk familiarly.
"Handsome nanny, are you here to deliver food again?" The receptionist already recognized his outfit and greeted him with a smile.
Xie Qianye just nodded.
"I've told the staff of Jade Bird, and I'll pick it up right away," said the front desk.
"Thank you." Xie Qianye said.
The front desk turned around and whispered to his companions, Xie Qianye was tired of hearing that passage, it was nothing more than "Although he is so tightly wrapped, I can tell at a glance that this figure is definitely a handsome guy, why do you think he is so handsome? Why do you want to be a nanny? What? What a waste of money... If he enters the entertainment industry, I will be the first to pick him!"
[Why be a babysitter...? ] Xie Qian said wildly, [because of love. ]
But he just said it in his heart.Xie Qianye has always been unwilling to communicate with others unless necessary.
Just kidding, he is a real top-notch succubus—ordinary people are devoted to him within ten sentences, and go through fire and water for him overnight.
Of course, as a married man, Xie Qianye would never give others any chance to "go through fire and water"—and he would never need his wife to go through fire and water for him.
If it is really impossible to avoid contact, he can indeed solve the problem through non-scientific methods such as hinting before contact, or erasing memory, but he doesn't like trouble.
Xie Qianye was leaning against a pillar near the front desk, even though he covered his face, he somehow attracted the attention of white-collar workers.
He felt that he had waited a long time today, so he couldn't help but look up frequently at the elevator entrance.
Fifteen minutes later, the front desk called him, with an apologetic expression on his face: "Jingniao told the secretary that he and Mr. Jiang are both busy, and our front desk can't do without people now, so I might have to trouble you to make a trip to deliver them."
Xie Qianye was a little surprised, but still signed the word "Xie Qianye" on the visitor register, took the temporary elevator card from the front desk, pulled the brim of his hat, and entered against the flow of people coming off work. elevator.
Jiang Yushuang's office is in the innermost room on the top floor, with excellent lighting and surrounded by windows on both sides - don't ask him how he knows, just ask what his wife should do.
With a sound of "Ding--", the elevator opened in response, Xie Qianye walked out, and immediately caught the attention of Jade Bird employees.
Everyone was convinced that this was a stranger—except Mr. Jiang, there was no such person in their company, just by looking at his figure, he knew he must be a handsome guy.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" a bold girl from the Propaganda Department asked.
"Look for Mr. Jiang." Xie Qianye said.
"... Huh." The girl couldn't hold back and let out a sigh.The girl looked apologetic, and was about to guide the unknown handsome guy when she suddenly heard a voice from afar.
"Who is looking for Mr. Jiang?"
Xie Qianye followed the sound and looked over. The person who came was a handsome young man, about the same age as him, wearing a suit but a casual flower tie. He exuded a cynical aura from the inside out.
"Hello Vice President Bai." The people at the elevator entrance greeted one after another.
Bai Shengzhi walked in, waved his hands and laughed, "What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to eat?"
Bai Shengzhi and Jiang Yushuang are almost in the same control group in the company on weekdays, and they are like a red face and a bad face. Jiang Yushuang is as easy-going as he is cold, and the whole company is up to the big boss Jiang Yushuang. , Down to the auntie cleaner, I can talk to him like a friend.
The girl from the Propaganda Department was no exception. Hearing the words, she boldly said: "It's not about looking at handsome guys, they are so pretty!"
After finishing speaking, a group of people roared into the elevator, and were pulled to the bottom floor by the iron box, ready to be released temporarily.
Only then did Bai Shengzhi take a good look at the suspiciously dressed person in front of him, and when he was about to ask something, his eyes fell on the familiar lunch box in Xie Qianye's hands, his pupils trembled.
"You, you, you... are you the super chef of Shuang'er's little Chinese master?!"
Xie Qianye frowned subconsciously. Bai Shengzhi's appearance instantly reminded him of that incomprehensible doctor in the Demon Realm... noisy and outrageous.
"I'm Shuang... I'm Mr. Jiang's chef." Relying on his full armor, he agreed.
Yes, I'm a cook, so hurry up and let me deliver meals to my wife.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Bai Shengyi almost confessed to him as a god, and immediately made a "please" gesture.
"Chef! Master Chef!! Come with me, the VIP room please... Oh, the VIP room Shuang'er is in use, let's go, go to the reception room!"
A second before Bai Shengzhi was about to embrace him with excessive enthusiasm, Xie Qianye walked away with a cold face, and went straight to the reception room that Bai Shengzhi had mentioned.
"The reception room is in the front, turn left and right...ah, you know?" Bai Shengzhi fell behind, rubbing his hair that had been styled with hairspray in doubt.He always felt that there was something wrong with this "chef", but after thinking for a moment, he followed it under the temptation of delicious food.
The reception room is next to the VIP room. Because of the needs of the negotiation, the sound insulation of the two rooms is very good, but it does not affect Xie Qianye's keen five senses as the devil king, and he can hear his wife's voice.
Suddenly, Xie Qianye frowned.
... He heard Xie Cai's voice.
Bai Shengzhi followed him into the reception room, thinking about how he could have a few words with this young Chinese chef, trying to grab a meal similar to Jiang Yushuang, but he saw the chef sitting on the sofa, still He didn't mean to take off his hat, glasses and mask, let alone talk to him.
Even though he was socially obsessive, Bai Shengzhi sensed that the other party was not welcoming him, and he thought to himself, he sat down opposite Xie Qianye, and never took his eyes off the lunch box from the beginning to the end.
Separated by a wall, the VIP room.
"Mr. Jiang, although Xie's Herun is a few places behind Jiang's Shideng in those unobjective rankings, I believe you know that the strength of our two companies is on par. We thank you Home... We and Run, the sincerity of cooperation has been placed in front of Mr. Jiang, I believe you have also seen it." Xie Cai raised one leg and sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Yushuang, holding a cup of steaming water in his hand. of tea.
He obviously had a calm and indifferent appearance, but there was some intimacy in his voice.
"The Xie family folded the most beautiful flower and gave it to Mr. Jiang." Xie Cai smiled lightly, "How about it, Mr. Jiang. Is this flower still eye-catching? Use it..."
"Mr. Xie." Jiang Yushuang opened her mouth to plan his words, and her cold voice instantly dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere created by Xie Cai's words.
"Today's meeting is to discuss cooperation matters. Both of us have limited time. I hope Mr. Xie will not say anything irrelevant."
Xie Cai smiled lightly: "After talking all morning, the details of our cooperation can almost be finalized, right? These, these... oh, and this, are all plans that Mr. Jiang has confirmed. The next step is to plan For Xiao Jiang, the contract and signing should only take 2 minutes."
"I have no objection to the plan that we both have reached a consensus on." Jiang Yushuang said, "But Mr. Xie's suggestion on the contract, I'm sorry I can't agree."
"Mr. Jiang... If you have money but don't make money, you are a fool." Xie Cai put down his raised legs, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "For a nine-figure contract, we only put the eight digits in the change. On the bright side, the rest can go to the Foundation."
Jiang Yushuang's eyes behind the lens are still cold.
Xie Cai is not discouraged either. As a member of the Xie family and Jiang Yushuang's generation, he has also dealt with this little Mr. Jiang who has always been "other people's child". He scoffed at the look on his face, but still maintained a gentle social smile on his face.
He thought it was true, but he didn't know that in Jiang Yushuang's eyes, it was just a poor-quality mask full of flaws.
"As for the foundation, Mr. Jiang can rest assured. I used to discuss this matter with the person in charge at the charity dinner a few days ago." Xie Cai said, "Mr. Jiang, this is a reasonable tax avoidance."
Jiang Yushuang put the contract in her hand back on the table, pressed her fingertips against the paper, and pushed the contract back in front of Xie Cai with a calm and unwavering voice.
"Mr. Xie, regarding this contract... please allow me to reserve my opinion."
Anyone who is rejected again and again like this, or even rejected with a face-slapping meaning, will not feel good.What's more, Xie Cai has never been a broad-minded person. When he put his finger on the contract, his expression was uncontrollable for a moment.
[Oh, Jiang Yushuang... You should be cautious. ]
Xie Cai almost gritted his teeth, and Jiang Yushuang's voice came into Jiang Yushuang's mind, and he glanced slightly.
Regarding the cooperation with Xie's family, Jiang Yushuang took over halfway in his previous life. He only noticed something weird when the cooperation was in the late stage, so he was extra cautious before signing the contract this time.
Everything Xie Cai said seemed reasonable at first glance, but Jiang Yushuang grasped the weirdness in it.
These days, he has been trying to sort out this strange feeling, but after all, time is limited, and he can only be sure at the moment, and he must not follow what Xie Cai said.
A temporary solution was found, but a bigger problem was also faced.
The Jiang and Xie families are now relatives by marriage, their status is equal, and their relationship is extremely close. This project is indeed imperative, and Jiang Yushuang can't reject Xie Cai's seemingly perfect proposal with a strong attitude.
Xie Cai got up suddenly, looked down at Jiang Yushuang who was sitting opposite, and said in a serious voice, "Mr. Jiang, I know you are the person in charge of the cooperation project, but if we really disagree, this contract must be handed over to Jiang Yushuang." In the hands of my uncle and my uncle, when the time comes..."
"Boss Xie is threatening me." Jiang Yushuang raised her eyes lightly, her expression was still like a deep pool, and it was impossible to see the bottom.
Xie Cai gritted her teeth, and just about to say something, Jiang Yushuang's cell phone by the table vibrated suddenly.
He could only pick up his mask again and made a "please" gesture.
Jiang Yushuang looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone, and originally wanted to hang up, but picked it up by accident.
"Who is it please?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds before speaking: "Huan Shuang, Yu Ye." His voice seemed to be lowered, with a bit of hoarseness and magnetism—the same is true of the deceptive subwoofer.
Jiang Yushuang froze for a moment, but it wasn't because of that man's voice.
Yu Ye——is the boss of Huan Shuang who has never shown his face before. He is as ruthless as Yu Xue, and he can only lower his eyes and bow his head in front of him.
"Mr. Jiang, please put the phone on speakerphone." Yu Ye said.
Jiang Yushuang turned her head, glanced at the dazed Xie Cai, and put the hands-free mobile phone on the table.
"Mr. Xie, I'm Yu Ye from Huan Shuang."
"The cooperation project between Xie's family and Shideng is now transferred to the business scope of Huan Shuang's domestic branch. I will let Yu Xue come to the door in person."
Even across the phone, Yu Ye's voice still made people dare not disobey.
"Now, you can go."
In the past, Mr. Jiang would sit alone on the two-seat sofa in the center. Today, he had already cut off his love and wanted to leave the other half of the sofa to Xiao Xie, a new actor whom he was very optimistic about...
But of course he sat next to his wife very naturally.
Old cabbage... yellow ground...
Mr. Jiang grabbed a handful of hair and pulled Father Jiang over to whisper.
"Xiao Xie is the one who married Yu Shuang, why didn't you tell me!!" The old man felt that he had lost all his old face, and gritted his teeth fiercely to accuse his son Xingshi.

"The director of their crew, Xiao Zhao." Mr. Jiang said anxiously, "This, this! Xiao Zhao seems to be such an honest person, how could he lie to the old man?!"
Father Jiang suppressed a smile and sighed.
The movie on the screen started to play, and the old man failed to watch it seriously for the first time. Two hours later, the screen dimmed and the light strips came on, and old man Jiang coughed lightly: "Hey... this, let's not appreciate it today, haha , go back to each house... Yu Shuang."
Jiang Yushuang paused and turned around.
This was the first time Mr. Jiang called him alone.

The cold toe of the shoe is attached to the warm bare|exposed ankle, which seems to be a signal of some kind of hint and invitation.
……
The thoughts in his head became more and more chaotic, and the knowledge that the other protagonist was sleeping in this house made Jiang Yushuang almost restless.
He got up and almost rushed out the door.
Xie Qianye didn't wake up until mid-sun.
The movie he was filming had finished his part yesterday, and his agent has not yet found a suitable script. He rejected all kinds of messy announcements and prepared to start working as his house husband at home.
He waved his hand and opened the curtains with magic. The warm sunlight fell on his face, and Xie Qianye let out a long breath.
"Aotian." He said.
The mechanical voice answered positively: "I am here."
"Human happiness is so simple."
"Master Demon King, it's rare for you to say something very philosophical."
Xie Qianye: ...
What kind of broken artificial intelligence, forget it.
He turned over and got up and went straight to the kitchen. He didn't go out with the packed lunch box until meal time, when the aroma of mixed food filled the whole room.
Xie Qianye skillfully put on his baseball cap, put on his sunglasses and mask, snapped his fingers, and in the next second he appeared in the monitoring blind spot of Jade Bird Technology's underground garage.
Jade Bird Technology is on the top three floors of this building, and Xie Qian walked to the front desk familiarly.
"Handsome nanny, are you here to deliver food again?" The receptionist already recognized his outfit and greeted him with a smile.
Xie Qianye just nodded.
"I've told the staff of Jade Bird, and I'll pick it up right away," said the front desk.
"Thank you." Xie Qianye said.
The front desk turned around and whispered to his companions, Xie Qianye was tired of hearing that passage, it was nothing more than "Although he is so tightly wrapped, I can tell at a glance that this figure is definitely a handsome guy, why do you think he is so handsome? Why do you want to be a nanny? What? What a waste of money... If he enters the entertainment industry, I will be the first to pick him!"
[Why be a babysitter...? ] Xie Qian said wildly, [because of love. ]
But he just said it in his heart.Xie Qianye has always been unwilling to communicate with others unless necessary.
Just kidding, he is a real top-notch succubus—ordinary people are devoted to him within ten sentences, and go through fire and water for him overnight.
Of course, as a married man, Xie Qianye would never give others any chance to "go through fire and water"—and he would never need his wife to go through fire and water for him.
If it is really impossible to avoid contact, he can indeed solve the problem through non-scientific methods such as hinting before contact, or erasing memory, but he doesn't like trouble.
Xie Qianye was leaning against a pillar near the front desk, even though he covered his face, he somehow attracted the attention of white-collar workers.
He felt that he had waited a long time today, so he couldn't help but look up frequently at the elevator entrance.
Fifteen minutes later, the front desk called him, with an apologetic expression on his face: "Jingniao told the secretary that he and Mr. Jiang are both busy, and our front desk can't do without people now, so I might have to trouble you to make a trip to deliver them."
Xie Qianye was a little surprised, but still signed the word "Xie Qianye" on the visitor register, took the temporary elevator card from the front desk, pulled the brim of his hat, and entered against the flow of people coming off work. elevator.
Jiang Yushuang's office is in the innermost room on the top floor, with excellent lighting and surrounded by windows on both sides - don't ask him how he knows, just ask what his wife should do.
With a sound of "Ding--", the elevator opened in response, Xie Qianye walked out, and immediately caught the attention of Jade Bird employees.
Everyone was convinced that this was a stranger—except Mr. Jiang, there was no such person in their company, just by looking at his figure, he knew he must be a handsome guy.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" a bold girl from the Propaganda Department asked.
"Look for Mr. Jiang." Xie Qianye said.
"... Huh." The girl couldn't hold back and let out a sigh.The girl looked apologetic, and was about to guide the unknown handsome guy when she suddenly heard a voice from afar.
"Who is looking for Mr. Jiang?"
Xie Qianye followed the sound and looked over. The person who came was a handsome young man, about the same age as him, wearing a suit but a casual flower tie. He exuded a cynical aura from the inside out.
"Hello Vice President Bai." The people at the elevator entrance greeted one after another.
Bai Shengzhi walked in, waved his hands and laughed, "What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to eat?"
Bai Shengzhi and Jiang Yushuang are almost in the same control group in the company on weekdays, and they are like a red face and a bad face. Jiang Yushuang is as easy-going as he is cold, and the whole company is up to the big boss Jiang Yushuang. , Down to the auntie cleaner, I can talk to him like a friend.
The girl from the Propaganda Department was no exception. Hearing the words, she boldly said: "It's not about looking at handsome guys, they are so pretty!"
After finishing speaking, a group of people roared into the elevator, and were pulled to the bottom floor by the iron box, ready to be released temporarily.
Only then did Bai Shengzhi take a good look at the suspiciously dressed person in front of him, and when he was about to ask something, his eyes fell on the familiar lunch box in Xie Qianye's hands, his pupils trembled.
"You, you, you... are you the super chef of Shuang'er's little Chinese master?!"
Xie Qianye frowned subconsciously. Bai Shengzhi's appearance instantly reminded him of that incomprehensible doctor in the Demon Realm... noisy and outrageous.
"I'm Shuang... I'm Mr. Jiang's chef." Relying on his full armor, he agreed.
Yes, I'm a cook, so hurry up and let me deliver meals to my wife.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Bai Shengyi almost confessed to him as a god, and immediately made a "please" gesture.
"Chef! Master Chef!! Come with me, the VIP room please... Oh, the VIP room Shuang'er is in use, let's go, go to the reception room!"
A second before Bai Shengzhi was about to embrace him with excessive enthusiasm, Xie Qianye walked away with a cold face, and went straight to the reception room that Bai Shengzhi had mentioned.
"The reception room is in the front, turn left and right...ah, you know?" Bai Shengzhi fell behind, rubbing his hair that had been styled with hairspray in doubt.He always felt that there was something wrong with this "chef", but after thinking for a moment, he followed it under the temptation of delicious food.
The reception room is next to the VIP room. Because of the needs of the negotiation, the sound insulation of the two rooms is very good, but it does not affect Xie Qianye's keen five senses as the devil king, and he can hear his wife's voice.
Suddenly, Xie Qianye frowned.
... He heard Xie Cai's voice.
Bai Shengzhi followed him into the reception room, thinking about how he could have a few words with this young Chinese chef, trying to grab a meal similar to Jiang Yushuang, but he saw the chef sitting on the sofa, still He didn't mean to take off his hat, glasses and mask, let alone talk to him.
Even though he was socially obsessive, Bai Shengzhi sensed that the other party was not welcoming him, and he thought to himself, he sat down opposite Xie Qianye, and never took his eyes off the lunch box from the beginning to the end.
Separated by a wall, the VIP room.
"Mr. Jiang, although Xie's Herun is a few places behind Jiang's Shideng in those unobjective rankings, I believe you know that the strength of our two companies is on par. We thank you Home... We and Run, the sincerity of cooperation has been placed in front of Mr. Jiang, I believe you have also seen it." Xie Cai raised one leg and sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Yushuang, holding a cup of steaming water in his hand. of tea.
He obviously had a calm and indifferent appearance, but there was some intimacy in his voice.
"The Xie family folded the most beautiful flower and gave it to Mr. Jiang." Xie Cai smiled lightly, "How about it, Mr. Jiang. Is this flower still eye-catching? Use it..."
"Mr. Xie." Jiang Yushuang opened her mouth to plan his words, and her cold voice instantly dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere created by Xie Cai's words.
"Today's meeting is to discuss cooperation matters. Both of us have limited time. I hope Mr. Xie will not say anything irrelevant."
Xie Cai smiled lightly: "After talking all morning, the details of our cooperation can almost be finalized, right? These, these... oh, and this, are all plans that Mr. Jiang has confirmed. The next step is to plan For Xiao Jiang, the contract and signing should only take 2 minutes."
"I have no objection to the plan that we both have reached a consensus on." Jiang Yushuang said, "But Mr. Xie's suggestion on the contract, I'm sorry I can't agree."
"Mr. Jiang... If you have money but don't make money, you are a fool." Xie Cai put down his raised legs, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "For a nine-figure contract, we only put the eight digits in the change. On the bright side, the rest can go to the Foundation."
Jiang Yushuang's eyes behind the lens are still cold.
Xie Cai is not discouraged either. As a member of the Xie family and Jiang Yushuang's generation, he has also dealt with this little Mr. Jiang who has always been "other people's child". He scoffed at the look on his face, but still maintained a gentle social smile on his face.
He thought it was true, but he didn't know that in Jiang Yushuang's eyes, it was just a poor-quality mask full of flaws.
"As for the foundation, Mr. Jiang can rest assured. I used to discuss this matter with the person in charge at the charity dinner a few days ago." Xie Cai said, "Mr. Jiang, this is a reasonable tax avoidance."
Jiang Yushuang put the contract in her hand back on the table, pressed her fingertips against the paper, and pushed the contract back in front of Xie Cai with a calm and unwavering voice.
"Mr. Xie, regarding this contract... please allow me to reserve my opinion."
Anyone who is rejected again and again like this, or even rejected with a face-slapping meaning, will not feel good.What's more, Xie Cai has never been a broad-minded person. When he put his finger on the contract, his expression was uncontrollable for a moment.
[Oh, Jiang Yushuang... You should be cautious. ]
Xie Cai almost gritted his teeth, and Jiang Yushuang's voice came into Jiang Yushuang's mind, and he glanced slightly.
Regarding the cooperation with Xie's family, Jiang Yushuang took over halfway in his previous life. He only noticed something weird when the cooperation was in the late stage, so he was extra cautious before signing the contract this time.
Everything Xie Cai said seemed reasonable at first glance, but Jiang Yushuang grasped the weirdness in it.
These days, he has been trying to sort out this strange feeling, but after all, time is limited, and he can only be sure at the moment, and he must not follow what Xie Cai said.
A temporary solution was found, but a bigger problem was also faced.
The Jiang and Xie families are now relatives by marriage, their status is equal, and their relationship is extremely close. This project is indeed imperative, and Jiang Yushuang can't reject Xie Cai's seemingly perfect proposal with a strong attitude.
Xie Cai got up suddenly, looked down at Jiang Yushuang who was sitting opposite, and said in a serious voice, "Mr. Jiang, I know you are the person in charge of the cooperation project, but if we really disagree, this contract must be handed over to Jiang Yushuang." In the hands of my uncle and my uncle, when the time comes..."
"Boss Xie is threatening me." Jiang Yushuang raised her eyes lightly, her expression was still like a deep pool, and it was impossible to see the bottom.
Xie Cai gritted her teeth, and just about to say something, Jiang Yushuang's cell phone by the table vibrated suddenly.
He could only pick up his mask again and made a "please" gesture.
Jiang Yushuang looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone, and originally wanted to hang up, but picked it up by accident.
"Who is it please?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds before speaking: "Huan Shuang, Yu Ye." His voice seemed to be lowered, with a bit of hoarseness and magnetism—the same is true of the deceptive subwoofer.
Jiang Yushuang froze for a moment, but it wasn't because of that man's voice.
Yu Ye——is the boss of Huan Shuang who has never shown his face before. He is as ruthless as Yu Xue, and he can only lower his eyes and bow his head in front of him.
"Mr. Jiang, please put the phone on speakerphone." Yu Ye said.
Jiang Yushuang turned her head, glanced at the dazed Xie Cai, and put the hands-free mobile phone on the table.
"Mr. Xie, I'm Yu Ye from Huan Shuang."
"The cooperation project between Xie's family and Shideng is now transferred to the business scope of Huan Shuang's domestic branch. I will let Yu Xue come to the door in person."
Even across the phone, Yu Ye's voice still made people dare not disobey.
"Now, you can go."
