beta

Gong Shen's footsteps froze.

He fixedly looked at Pu Yaozhi, his eyes were deep and he didn't blink.

Compared with six years ago, Pu Yaozhi has changed a lot.

Six years ago, the last appearance of Pu Yaozhi that Gong Shen saw was silent and gloomy, as if completely closed, isolated from the outside world.

Six years ago, Pu Yaozhi always wore a black sweater with a hood on campus.

On weekdays, at school, he wears a wide hood all day long, covering his face tightly under the hood.

Six years later, Pu Yaozhi's figure is still very thin, but his height has grown a little.

natural.

Although he grew a little taller, as a beta, he was completely inferior to the nearly 1.9-meter tall Gong Chen, an alpha.

The expression on Pu Yaozhi's face is not as gloomy as it was six years ago, but there is still no smile.

He was wearing a suit, standing there quietly, with a calm expression, no smile on his face, as if he had already lost the ability to laugh.

But Gong Shen carefully discovered that the suit Pu Yaozhi was wearing did not fit him well.

It seems like it was borrowed.

Gong Shen looked at the size of the suit carefully for a moment, then seemed to think of something, turned his gaze, and slowly turned his gaze to the alpha standing in front of him at this moment.

After seeing Chu Chenlu's height, Gong Chen was instantly sure.

The suit that Pu Yaozhi was wearing was from this alpha.

After confirming the answer, for some reason, Gong Chen felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He tugged on his tie distractedly.

Gong Chen frowned, looked up and down and scanned Chu Chenlu.

It was an extremely critical and disgusting look.

Pheromones taste bad.

short.

Cheap clothes.

General appearance.

It doesn't look like IQ is too high.

……

Gong Chen evaluated Chu Chenlu extremely critically in his heart, and soon lost all interest in Chu Chenlu, and looked away.

opposite.

Chu Chenlu also saw that Gong Chen's eyes turned coldly around his body.

With obvious... hostility.

Sensitively aware of the other party's displeasure towards him, Chu Chenlu's voice froze, somewhat inexplicably.

Did he... did something?

Chu Chenlu's eyes were blank, and at the same time, Gong Chen waited patiently.

Waiting for Pu Yaozhi's next move.

He knew that Pu Yaozhi had seen him too.

He stands here so conspicuously, it is impossible for Pu Yaozhi to not see him.

After six years, when they met again suddenly, he didn't know how Pu Yaozhi would react.

Come forward to please?

Panic?

Turn around and run?

he does not know.

So he waited expectantly.

however.

But Pu Yaozhi's gaze swept across his body lightly, and then quickly withdrew very calmly.

just like……

Don't know what he looks like at all.

Gong Chen's expression froze.

He thought about countless possibilities.

Only did not expect this.

His expression was a little stiff, he turned his head in disbelief, and looked in Pu Yaozhi's direction.

But the latter has already withdrawn his sight.

It seems that he has no interest in him at all.

He didn't believe that Pu Yaozhi didn't recognize him.

After six years, he recognized his appearance almost at a glance. He didn't believe that Pu Yaozhi would forget him.

Forget what he looks like.

Forget the dark past that I suffered from bullying for three full years in high school.

Forget about nine years ago... Because of a misunderstanding, he kept talking about his disgusting scene in the school doctor's room with disgust and contempt in his eyes.

——He didn't believe he had forgotten him.

Perhaps Pu Yaozhi was just pretending.

He deliberately pretended not to know him.

Perhaps it is because of the disparity in status that they are ashamed to recognize each other.

or……

because of other reasons.

At this moment, because Pu Yaozhi looked like he didn't know him at all, Gong Shen couldn't help becoming more and more irritable.

Gong Shen waited patiently for a while, but did not wait for Pu Yaozhi's reaction, but waited for the guard to come.

Unexpectedly, Gong Chen would suddenly come to the company at this time. The eight security personnel panicked and rushed forward, preparing to drive Pu Yaozhi and Chu Chenlu out of the lobby on the first floor.

Seeing this, Gong Shen frowned, and ordered in a cold voice: "There is no need to drive away, back down."

Several security personnel were startled, answered yes, and slowly retreated.

The security guard stepped back, stood still respectfully, without looking back, raised his chin in the direction of the front desk, and ordered again to a secretary behind him: "Ask, the purpose of these two people coming to the company."

In fact, Gong Chen could clearly ask Chu Chen who would be blocking his way directly.

It would even be easier to ask Chu Chenlu himself directly.

But Gong Chen was not in the mood at the moment, and he didn't even want to have a half-sentence with this obtrusive alpha in front of him.

At this moment, he was already in a bad mood, if he talked to this obtrusive alpha again, I respectfully believed that his mood would definitely be worse to an even more indescribable level.

After the words were respectful, the secretary said yes.

The secretary bowed his head in response, then turned around and walked towards the front desk.

In less than 2 minutes.

The secretary came and went.

The alpha secretary stood straight behind Gong Shen, and said in a respectful voice: "According to the front desk, these two gentlemen came to the company to discuss cooperation, but they didn't make an appointment."

With just one sentence, Gong Chen instantly figured out all the ins and outs.

It's the same as those unknown small companies who wanted to cooperate with Mingyuan Group before.

Carrying a briefcase, contract and company information, and a face as thick as a city wall, without any appointment, he wanted to see the senior management of Mingyuan Group.

In the past, such a person would definitely be expelled from the company immediately and be on the blacklist of Mingyuan Group forever.

But this time...

It's not the same as before.

Gong Chen raised his wrist and glanced at the time on the watch.

Time is running out.

Shareholders have already arrived at the conference hall one after another, and he has to rush to the conference hall for a meeting.

Gong Shen: "Let them wait in the lobby."

After Gong Chen finished speaking, he lifted his foot and left.

He still has meetings to attend.

A secretary responded yes, turned around and went to the front desk, and immediately dutifully conveyed the order that Gong Chen had just given to the omega receptionists.

The other secretary, carrying a briefcase, followed Gong Chen in strides, and together they boarded the chairman's special elevator.

After Gong Chen and the secretary left together, after a while, the oppressive red wine pheromone in the lobby on the first floor gradually dissipated.

Chu Chenlu stood where he was, blinked, and couldn't recover for a while.

No.

Did he really... succeed? ? ?

He actually succeeded? ?

Chu Chenlu was stunned, with an expression of disbelief.

His expression was dreamlike.

On the other hand, Pu Yaozhi on the other side remained calm.

the other side.

After the alpha secretary conveyed Gong Shen's order to the omegas at the front desk, the secretary also left the lobby on the first floor.

After the secretary left, an omega at the front desk gracefully walked up to Chu Chenlu and Pu Yaozhi.

Omega has a slender and slender figure, wearing a uniform, and her every move is full of elegance.

She bowed slightly in the direction of the two of them, and then said softly: "Please follow me, both of you, and I will take you to the lounge."

When the omega's voice fell, Chu Chenlu's back shivered, and finally he came back to his senses, realizing that he was not dreaming just now.

With an exaggerated smile, Chu Chenlu came to Pu Yaozhi's side with great excitement, and said, "Yaozhi, we succeeded! I thought we were going to be thrown out just now—"

With an elegant smile, Omega quietly stood aside and waited patiently.

As the front desk receptionist of the dignified Mingyuan Group, the self-cultivation and self-cultivation he possesses is naturally much higher than that of the receptionists of ordinary companies.

While Chu Chenlu was yelling excitedly, Pu Yaozhi took out his phone and checked the time.

"Since I have successfully seized the opportunity, I will leave."

Chu Chenlu's voice paused, a little caught off guard.

Chu Chenlu looked at him eagerly, "Are you leaving now? But the contract hasn't been negotiated yet? If you leave now, I will be alone...I'm afraid..."

Pu Yaozhi is extremely ruthless.

"Boss, have you forgotten that I still have a job, you pay me, not to let me stay here with you in a daze, but to work for you."

"Besides, I don't know anything about contracts, so it's useless to stay."

"And, even if I stay, you won't be afraid when you go to negotiate the contract later?"

Chu Chenlu shook his head silently.

As soon as Pu Yao finished speaking, he reached out and took off the ill-fitting suit jacket.

Along the way, he had long wanted to take it off.

Now that I'm leaving, there's no need to wear it anymore.

"I am leaving."

Chu Chenlu waved his hand to say goodbye to Pu Yao with watery eyes.

Pu Yaozhi turned to leave, and after a while, his figure disappeared from Chu Chenlu's eyes.

After watching Pu Yaozhi leave, Chu Chenlu turned around and turned around.

The receptionist who had been waiting for a long time smiled at Chu Chenlu again, and then extended his hand gracefully.

"Good morning sir, follow me this way."

Chu Chenlu smiled back at the omega and followed happily.

……

27th floor.

in the conference hall.

Gong Chen sat at the front of the conference hall.

That is, the position with the highest status.

Behind him, the secretary was sitting on a chair with a computer on his lap, and was seriously memorizing the contents of the meeting.

In the conference hall, a group of shareholders looked at the content on the projector in front of them with serious expressions.

The atmosphere is condensed and solemn.

Because of Gong Chen's existence, no one present dared to be contemptuous of this meeting.

However, all the people in the conference hall were listening intently to the company's top executives' reports, looking at the financial statements on the projector, and a series of tabular data. absent-minded.

The moment Pu Yaozhi appeared in front of his eyes, it was difficult for him to concentrate on the so-called shareholder meeting.

The black and gold pen in Gong Chen's hand was twirling back and forth between his fingers anxiously.

He frowned, his thoughts wandering.

After an unknown amount of time, the executive standing in front of the projection screen in the conference hall suddenly turned his gaze to Gong Chen.

The other party called cautiously: "...Mr. Gong?"

The pen paused, respectfully returning to his senses and raising his eyes.

The executive reminded with trepidation: "It's time for you to speak."

The wrinkles between Gong Chen's brows deepened.

The impatience on his face is obvious, "This time the speech process is skipped, you continue to report."

The eyes of all the people present were amazed, and they couldn't help but stared at each other inexplicably.

It was the first time that Gong Chen skipped the flow of his own speech.

But Gong Chen is the chairman with the highest position, no one in the room dared to comment on his decision.

The executive responded yes, and immediately continued to report obediently.

……

Two and a half hours later.

"End of the meeting."

After Gong Chen announced this sentence in a cold voice, he almost couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't wait to get up and leave.

The secretary hurriedly followed with the computer in his hand.

Only a group of shareholders were left in the conference hall, looking at each other in blank dismay.

After Gong Chen left the conference hall, the first reaction in his mind was to immediately take the special elevator downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.

But just two steps away, he suddenly remembered that it was Pu Yaozhi who came to ask him to do something on his own initiative, and it should be Pu Yaozhi who came to find him, not him.

Thinking of this, Gong Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gong Shen said subconsciously: "Go and get—"

As soon as the words were spoken, Gong Chen suddenly remembered that he had just finished the meeting and immediately called Pu Yaozhi up to meet him. This action seemed a little too... impatient.

Do not know why.

He didn't want Pu Yaozhi to see his impatience.

The respectful voice stopped abruptly.

"No, wait."

"...Mr. Gong?"

"Let them continue to wait in the lobby on the first floor."

The secretary glanced at his boss inexplicably, although he was completely puzzled, he still respectfully answered yes.

After finishing the order, he respectfully turned around and took the special elevator back to his office.

Back in the office, Gong Chen sat at his desk and began to deal with company affairs.

He forgot about the beta in the lobby on the first floor and hung it on the first floor, and then began to concentrate on handling company affairs.

However, facing the contracts in front of him, Gong Chen couldn't help looking at his wristwatch over and over again.

After half an hour.

Confused, Gong Shen dropped the pen in his hand, but finally couldn't hold it back, picked up the private plane on the desk, and called the secretariat.

"Call up those two people waiting in the hall on the first floor."

The secretary opened his mouth wide, a little surprised.

Did Mr. Gong meet him in person?

The secretary was shocked for a moment, and quickly recovered.

He respectfully replied yes.

Downstairs, the receptionist who received the call from the secretariat immediately went to the lounge in the lobby on the first floor and found Chu Chenlu.

"Sir, Mr. Gong please go up."

"Mr. Gong is on the 36th floor."

After hearing this, Chu Chenlu was shocked, and immediately stood up from the sofa without saying a word.

Chu Chenlu took the elevator and arrived at the 36th floor nervously.

Standing on the carpet on the 36th floor, Chu Chenlu, who had never been to such a big company, looked a little hurried.

He gripped the strap of the briefcase tightly, and his palms were already sweating.

Take it easy, take it easy...

Chu Chenlu kept telling himself.

The office of the secretary's office is set up outside the director's office.

Seeing Chu Chenlu's figure, Alpha's secretary who was sitting at the desk handling official business immediately picked up the private plane and called Gong Chen in the director's office.

"Mr. Gong, we're here."

After the secretary finished speaking, Gong Shen, who was sitting at the desk, straightened his collar subconsciously, and then straightened his tie a bit.

Gong Chen slightly moved his thin lips, "Let them in."

……them?

The secretary looked hesitantly at Chu Chenlu who was alone in front of him.

The secretary said truthfully: "Mr. Gong, only one person came up."

Gong Chen's face darkened and he frowned.

"...only one person?"

Hearing the boss's rhetorical question in the special plane, the secretary raised his head and immediately looked in the direction of Chu Chen Road.

"You're the only one coming up? Is there another gentleman?"

I'm sorry to say that Pu Yaozhi just came here with me to build my courage, but in fact, I don't understand the contract at all, so Chu Chenlu opened his eyes and lied without changing his face: "Are you referring to my secretary? There is something urgent in the company. I let him go back first."

The secretary understood, and then conveyed the truth.

In the office, Gong Chen dropped the phone when he got the answer.

Gong Chen dropped the phone, reached out to rest his forehead, and pressed his swollen temple with a dark face.

His mood began to gradually become agitated.

Feeling his manic mood, he closed his eyes, immediately reached out his hand and took out the tube of mesnoline from his pocket, then leaned his neck up and swallowed two pills skillfully.

Outside the chairman's office.

The secretary faithfully conveyed the reply from her superior.

The secretary said slowly: "Sir, since you made a special trip to ask for cooperation from Mingyuan Group, you didn't even bring a personal secretary with you, and came alone with the contract and documents. It seems that this contract is actually not important to you. So important."

Chu Chenlu was tongue-tied and subconsciously wanted to explain: "I don't..."

The secretary didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said with a smile, "Please bring the secretary with you next time."

Hearing that they could come again, and that there was no possibility of directly cutting off the cooperation, Chu Chenlu felt relieved, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Chu Chenlu thought for a while, and felt the same.

Negotiating a contract with a listed company as big as Mingyuan Group, but he didn't even bring a secretary behind him, and his attitude seemed too contemptuous indeed.

Still inexperienced, now he knows.

Chu Chenlu immediately saluted the secretary apologetically and apologized, "I didn't think of this before, so I let the secretary go. I was negligent. I will bring the secretary here tomorrow."

After Chu Chenlu finished speaking, he smiled, scratched his head, turned and left.

——He will come back tomorrow with Yaozhi!

The secretary quietly watched Chu Chenlu leave.

Watching Chu Chenlu's figure go away and disappear, the secretary couldn't help feeling a little doubtful.

The beta who was with this alpha before...do you know Mr. Gong?

But looking at the way the beta saw Mr. Gong before, it didn't seem like he knew Mr. Gong.

……

Chu Chenlu returned to his small company with his briefcase in hand.

Back in his small company, Chu Chenlu looked at the 'poor' situation in the company before him, and couldn't help sighing, feeling rather sad.

Hey, a big company is really a big company, and a small company like them that lacks everything can't compare.

As soon as Chu Chenlu returned to the company, Pu Yaozhi, who was sitting at his desk, looked up at Chu Chenlu. After seeing the happy expression on the former's face, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

After a distance, Pu Yaozhi raised his voice and asked, "The contract has been negotiated?"

When Pu Yao heard the words, the other four people in the company couldn't help but turned their heads and looked at their boss curiously.

Chu Chenlu shook his head.

"No."

Pu Yaozhi frowned.

"Then what are you happy about?"

"It's not that the negotiation failed, it's that there was no discussion at all." Chu Chenlu explained, "Because I didn't bring a secretary with me, the Mingyuan Group felt that I didn't even bring a secretary with me, and I was not sincere, so they didn't see me at all."

Pu Yao knew it.

"Too."

After Chu Chenlu finished speaking, he looked at him eagerly.

"Yaozhi, then you...will you go with me tomorrow?"

Pu Yaozhi declined.

Only Pu Yaozhi said lightly: "The suit doesn't fit, I will wear a suit that doesn't fit, and I don't seem to have much sincerity, let Dean follow you, she is an omega, careful and thoughtful, and will be your secretary when the time comes Just right."

Chu Chenlu thought for a while, and felt that what Pu Yaozhi said was also reasonable.

So Chu Chenlu obediently changed his goal.

"Then Dean, do you have a suit that fits you?"

Dean recalled it for a while, and said: "I seem to have it! Then I will go with you tomorrow!"

The problem was 'solved', and Chu Chenlu finally felt relieved.
