Difficult to return

Lu Mingchen cheated for the first time two years ago.

Before he really took that step, he never thought that he would cheat in this life.

At that time, it had been almost three years since he took over the company from Song Guoqiang.In the past three years, he had absolute management power in the company, and he began to organize the company's equipment and business according to his own ideas.The initial response was mediocre, but quantitative changes led to qualitative changes. From the end of the third year, the company's sales began to take off.It was a leap forward, and the orders soared all the way, and they were already in the second half of the second year.

Lu Mingchen was also busier than ever.In the past, customers were mainly connected by salesmen and business managers, but now facing some multinational groups and Fortune 500 companies, he had to come forward in person.

At the end of that year, he received the largest customer in the company's history. He was the head of the China region of an American aircraft manufacturing company. He wanted to hand over a batch of parts worth tens of millions of dollars to his company for production.

The person in charge is Tao Xieyi, a Chinese.Surprisingly, this person in charge is very young, only a few years older than Lu Mingchen, less than forty, and much younger than the potbellied American executives he brought.

The young people talked about the business very readily, and quickly finalized the technical details, but the final payment issue could not be reached for a while.When it’s time to get off work, the client is invited to dine and relax as usual, and the group goes to the SPA after dinner.

Moving from business to leisure, the actual negotiations don't end there.Lu Mingchen and Tao Xieyi were in the same room when doing the SPA. The lighting here was dim, aromatherapy was lit, and the professional techniques of the senior technicians completely relaxed the tense nerves.

Talking about work at such a time is a big taboo, but it’s not impossible to do anything. Lu Mingchen chatted with each other casually, and the topics came at his fingertips. Astronomy, geography, political economy... talking like friends is very useful to increase the distance outside of work. The way.The other party was obviously very interested in him, and followed his train of thought to match his topic.

If things go well tonight, negotiations should go well tomorrow.

"Is Boss Lu married already? I see you're wearing a wedding ring." Tao Xieyi asked suddenly.

Lu Mingchen was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that it was not a bad sign that the other party was interested in his private life.

"Yes, I'm married." "Outside of work, Brother Tao, please call me Xiao Lu."

The other party laughed: "Xiao Lu seems to be quite disrespectful, let me call you Mingchen." Then he asked the technicians to go out, saying that they wanted to talk about something.

Lu Mingchen thought he wanted to talk about work at this time, but the other party asked: "I heard that your partner is a man."

"...Yes." Everyone in the company knew about his marriage to the boss's son, but they didn't know what the customer meant when he suddenly asked, "Could Brother Tao be so prejudiced against us?"

"Are you also worried that others will be prejudiced against your orientation?" The other party suddenly got off the massage table and walked towards him.

Lu Mingchen was still lying on the bed, with a blanket covering his waist.He turned his head and glanced at Tao Xieyi, and sometimes showing weakness appropriately would strengthen the intimacy between the two parties.

"Worried. Because sometimes the minority itself is an offense."

"You think so?"

"Objectivity is like this. Others need to spend time and energy to understand things that are beyond the consensus. But not everyone is keen to understand this kind of knowledge that has nothing to do with them. If you have to ask the other party to understand yourself, it is a kind of offend."

"Interesting. But don't worry, I'm also on this side." Tao Xieyi said as she put her hands on his slippery back that had been smeared with essential oils, and imitated the masseur's technique, kneading back and forth.

Lu Mingchen suddenly understood, sat up suddenly, and said with a smile, "Manager Tao, I'm married."

"I know," Tao Xieyi suddenly bent down and leaned closer to his ear, "I also heard that you two have been married for five years. But your lady doesn't seem to care about you very much. These days you stay with us so late every day, It seems that you have never received a call from home. And you don't seem to want to go home." The man whispered, "Are you going to live with me tonight?"

Lu Mingchen's smile continued: "Is this the prerequisite for Manager Tao's decision to sign the contract?"

"Of course not, I just can't see the lonely expression of a beautiful man."

"I'm afraid that Manager Tao will be disappointed."

"Really?" The man suddenly lowered his face, and his lips touched the side of his neck, "We might as well give it a try and see how your partner reacts when he sees this."

"What do you want..." Before Lu Mingchen could finish speaking, the man had already kissed his neck.

He stood up "squeaky", pushed the man away, clutched his neck, and looked at each other angrily.

The man laughed: "Just kidding, if your partner won't let you in, remember to ask me, I'll explain it for you."

Lu Mingchen said in a deep voice: "Don't have a next time, I will send you to the Public Security Bureau if I can't take a joke."

He took his coat and entered the changing room. Tao Xieyi leaned against the door, separated by a covering curtain: "Mingchen, I have seen too many couples like you, you are too depressed, you will hold back Bad. Freeing yourself properly is good for you and your partner..."

Lu Mingchen changed his clothes, pushed Tao Xieyi away, and left.

He sat in the garage for a while before going home, looking repeatedly at the inside mirror.Tao Xieyi really left a hickey on his neck, and the position is still very conspicuous.He covered it with a band-aid, not only did it not cover it, but he felt like there was no silver 300 taels here.In a dilemma, he simply ignored it. In short, he had done nothing wrong. If his husband asked, he would just tell the truth.Before he opened the door, he had prepared a draft.

But he was simply being overwhelmed, and as usual, the husband didn't ask anything.

In the past, Lu Mingchen came home late or even didn't come home at night because of work, and his husband didn't ask, and he didn't think there was anything unusual about it.But that day, he had doubts for the first time, did her husband really trust him that much, or did he not know how the marks on his neck came from?

After several rounds of negotiations in the next few days, he finally agreed to the lower price of the other party, and the contract was successfully signed.Until she left, Tao Xieyi kept a businesslike appearance and did not make any excessive moves.

Three months later, because it was a sample inspection of the first batch of finished products, Tao Xieyi personally brought the quality inspectors to their company again.

After the sample inspection was over, Lu Mingchen went with him to the hotel.

Tao Xieyi is a man with a lot of experience. I have to say that men know men best. This is the first time that Lu Mingchen knows what it means to want to be immortal.

Afterwards, Song Shuhua was also unaware.

But their relationship lasted only half a year, because the two happened in different cities four times in total.Except for the first time because of work, Tao Xieyi made a special trip to find him twice later.Lu Mingchen went to the other party's city on a business trip and visited him once.

Six months later, Tao Xieyi was transferred to the US headquarters as the executive president.Before leaving, he came to Lu Mingchen and asked him to divorce him and go to the United States to develop with him. He could use his contacts to find him a better position and future.

Lu Mingchen refused.

Tao Xieyi proposed to sleep one last time.

Lu Mingchen also refused.

Tao Xieyi left him a private number, saying that this number will always be reserved for him, and reminded him to call this number when he gets divorced.

Lu Mingchen pushed back the phone number: "No need, I won't get a divorce."

Tao Xieyi smiled: "You will get a divorce." After saying this, he left the number on the dinner table and walked away.

After Lu Mingchen also left, the phone number was always on the dinner table.

--

Lu Mingchen was sitting opposite a man, he couldn't bear it after all, violated his decision not to cheat again, and made another date.

"Are you married? You come out to hook up even if you're married, can you show some face?" The man stood up "squeaky" with a glass of wine in his hand.

He probably wanted to pour the glass of wine on the face of the person opposite, but the other person stared at him so calmly that he didn't dare to do that.In the end, he raised his neck and drank the glass of wine in one gulp. He put the glass heavily on the table, left a sentence of "these are some rotten people", and left angrily.

Lu Mingchen frowned, took a sip of the whiskey in his glass, and didn't react too much.This situation is not unexpected.

This is a high-end same-sex online club, and you need to pay a lot of membership fees every year to become a member.In addition to verifying the other party's annual income, education and ensuring that the avatar is a real person, the service provided also provides a place to meet offline-a bar with good privacy and only accepts members.

The club's slogan is - meet quality love.

In fact, no matter whether there is quality love or not, there are very few people who can meet.In the end, you will find that most of the people you can meet are nothing more than sex hunters and money hunters.The people who do this business also obviously understand this, so the service provided does not include the marital status of the other party. If you have to add survey items, the number one must be size.

Lu Mingchen has very little time to log into this software, but there are many people who chat with him, but he hardly pays attention to them.

The man I met today persisted on the software and said hello to him for three months, good night for three months, and said that he is my ideal partner.The man sent him a video edited by himself at the beginning of the new year, in which he said hello to him and sang to him... He regretted that he wanted to send it to him on the first day of the new year, but editing the video was not as easy as he thought, It took a few days for the first time.

Lu Mingchen was somewhat moved, and replied to the message to ask him to meet.

In fact, this kind of ending is also expected, and the expectations of the other party are too high.

The glass was empty, and he was about to go, when a new glass of whiskey was brought to him.

The man who brought the wine took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the empty chair opposite, pressed the glass in his hand to his lips, took a sip, and didn't put it down immediately.The corner of the mouth that was not completely covered by the wine glass evoked a slight smile.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lu Mingchen also picked up his cup and took a sip.

"Lan Fang? It's really expensive to invite someone you meet for the first time to drink such expensive wine."

The man put down his wine glass, with a bright smile on his lips: "What kind of wine matches what kind of man. Besides, you can't be too dishonest when you strike up a conversation."

Lu Mingchen smiled, crossed the table, and stretched out his hand to him: "Lu Mingchen."

The man shook his fingertips pretending to be reserved: "Su Han"
