When Yu Duo went up the stairs, Jiang Chiyu heard his footsteps, almost the moment he opened the door, Jiang Chiyu raised his head and said, "Brother, are you back?"

"En." Yu Duo closed the door behind him, and responded lightly.

The big light in the living room was turned off, leaving only a small light on the dining table. Jiang Chiyu was sitting at the table using a computer, and was wearing a pair of anti-blue light flat glasses on his face.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chiyu saw that Yu Duo looked preoccupied as soon as he came home, so he immediately put down his work and turned his attention to Yu Duo.

"It's nothing." Yu Duo didn't want to worry about the love and hatred between young people. He walked into the living room as if nothing had happened, and asked Jiang Chiyu, "What are you busy with?"

Jiang Chiyu turned the computer screen in the direction of Yu Duo, and said, "I'm looking at the cost estimate for the next project."

Yu Duo nodded to show that he understood. He didn't say anything, and turned around to go back to the room.

Jiang Chiyu sensed that something was wrong with Yu Duo. The moment he passed by, he reached out and grabbed Yu Duo's wrist, and asked, "What happened? Party A is looking for trouble for you again?"

Yu Duo's eyes fell on the hands they held together, and after a while, he said, "I just met Wang Panpan downstairs."

"Oh, what a coincidence." Jiang Chiyu paused and let go of Yu Duo's hand.

Jiang Chiyu didn't ask further questions, but Yu Duo continued: "She told me something...that I didn't know before."

Jiang Chiyu nodded, did not continue this topic, turned his eyes back to the computer screen, and his avoidance attitude was already very obvious.

Seeing Jiang Chiyu's reaction, Yu Duo was not in a hurry to leave. He turned to Jiang Chiyu, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, "Jiang Chiyu, have you been hiding something from me all these years?"

Yu Duo was clichéd, Jiang Chiyu didn't follow him, he completely ignored Yu Duo's gaze, typed quickly on the computer with his fingers, and asked, "For example?"

Yu Duo said blankly: "For example, the yearly report for the college entrance examination."

Jiang Chiyu's typing speed slowed down, and after typing the last period, he took off his glasses, looked up to meet Yu Duo's gaze, and said, "Yes, I lied to you, there is no failure, I only applied to H University .”

"Why?" Yu Duo chased after him, and continued to ask, "Is it because of the person you like?"

He got it.

This recognition made Jiang Chiyu at a loss for a moment. In a place that Yu Duo couldn't see, his nails cut into his palm because of his clenched fist.

"Not entirely." However, this kind of bewilderment only lasted for a short moment, and Jiang Chiyu's face quickly returned to normal, looking calmer than before: "But there is part of his reason."

Contrary to Jiang Chiyu is Yu Duo, he didn't expect Jiang Chiyu to admit it so straightforwardly without any hesitation.This sentence made the unknown fire in his heart burn all of a sudden,

"You like her that much?" Yu Duo asked, "Even if it means putting down your own future?"

Jiang Chiyu stared at the screen and answered with one word: "Yes."

"Okay, very good." Yu Duo took a deep breath, he felt that he was on the verge of exploding, and just a little spark could completely detonate him.

"Who is that person?" He forcibly controlled his emotions and asked in a cold voice.

After Yu Duo's voice fell, Jiang Chiyu didn't speak, as if he had turned into a stone statue in situ.

"Brother, don't ask."

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Chiyu finally summoned up his courage and looked at Yu Duo again. At this time, his eyes revealed a plea that he had never seen before: "You don't want to know, don't ask."

How could it be possible for Yu Duo not to ask any more, he wanted to see who was the evil spirit that bewitched Jiang Chiyu like this.But as soon as he met Jiang Chiyu's eyes, it was like being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, and his burning heart was instantly extinguished.

For a moment, he felt a little discouraged, and he didn't even have the strength to pursue it.

It's really boring to come back to old accounts after such a long time.Jiang Chiyu stayed in City H all these years, and he did not miss both his studies and his career. It can be seen that it was a wise decision, and there is no need to delve into it.

As for who he likes, Yu Duo thought, this matter has nothing to do with him.

It's just that Yu Duo never thought that there is such a special person hidden in Jiang Chiyu's heart.

"Okay, got it." Yu Duo was like a machine that had run out of energy, and his whole body was visibly depressed: "I'm tired, I'm fine, you should also go to bed early."

Preliminary investigations into porous bricks have also yielded results, and the source of the problem is still the brick factory.

The reason why these bricks have self-powdering phenomenon is that the calcium oxide in the brick body exceeds the standard, and the water content increases after contact with the air.

The brick factory has been closed for a long time. It is rumored that the owner of this brick factory is brother Jian, a local snake in the northern district of the city.After the incident happened, the boss did not show up, and only sent a manager who knew nothing about it to solve it.

As for whether the developer was deceived by the brick factory, or whether the two parties are simply a nest of snakes and rats, there is still no conclusion.But these things had nothing to do with Yu Duo, and he had no intention of getting involved. After listening to the situation report, he rejected Party A's invitation to dinner and entered Li Daneng's office.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Yu Duo, Li Daneng was surprised and said, "Why didn't you go back to the company? You didn't answer your phone calls. Just now, the accountant called to ask if you were at the construction site."

Yu Duo collapsed on the sofa and didn't respond.

Seeing Yu Duo's sluggish look, Li Daneng smacked a bit, and asked, "What's the matter? Did you quarrel with your little object?"

Just as Yu Duo took a sip of tea, he choked on it.

"Where is the object?" Yu Duo put down the teacup: "Don't catch rumors and create rumors all day long."

Hearing what Yu Duo said, Li Daneng insisted that it was not a problem not to have someone who knows the cold and the hot by his side, so he mentioned another blind date to him.

Li Daneng just said in passing that he didn't expect much at first, but he didn't expect that Yu Duo didn't shirk this time, and agreed smoothly.

Li Daneng was overjoyed, and immediately went out to make a phone call to make an appointment with someone. Yu Duo sat absent-mindedly at his desk, staring at the dirty hard hat on the table.

Yu Duo actually didn't sleep well last night, and Jiang Chiyu even worked overtime in the living room all night and didn't go back to his room.After one night, Yu Duo also figured it out. He and Jiang Chiyu are business partners, and neither of them can take care of each other's private affairs. Just because he said "brother", he can't stop treating himself as an outsider.

After calming down, Yu Duo didn't understand why he had such a big fire last night, it was like witnessing his wife cheating, it was a bit embarrassing to be true.So much so that when he saw Jiang Chiyu today, he was still a little embarrassed, so he simply avoided him all day.

Now Yu Duo came up with the idea of ​​a blind date, the reason is very simple, Jiang Chiyu will graduate next year, judging by his deep love for that mysterious object, it is estimated that he will start a family in a few years, and then he will become a loner again.

It is not impossible to live alone. Before he met Jiang Chiyu, he had lived so many years.But as long as he thinks that there will be no one listening to him in the house when he returns home from get off work, he still feels somewhat resistant.

In less than 10 minutes, Li Daneng came back from the phone call.Brother Daneng spent a lot of money this time, and booked a high-end western restaurant for Yu Duo, and made a bold promise that as long as things can be done, he can order steaks and wine as he pleases, and all expenses will be included in his account.

The agreed time was three days later, and when he was busy with work, Yu Duo almost forgot about it.After a phone call from Li Daneng to remind him, he came out of the construction site in a hurry.

On the way to the restaurant, Yu Duo didn't forget to call Jiang Chiyu and told him that he didn't have to wait for him to get off work tonight, he had to leave beforehand.

Jiang Chiyu didn't say anything, he just answered and knew.

When Yu Duo arrived, the girl had been waiting for a long time.Apologetically, he walked up to say hello, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face.

Yu Duo stretched out his hand towards the girl, and immediately called out her name: "Hello, Rebecca."

The girl has curly hair like seaweed, wears a small tweed suit, and has elegant and delicate makeup on her face. She is a little more mature and confident than four years ago.

"So it's you." Rebecca also laughed when she saw Yu Duo.She was also deeply impressed by this person who had met once. When she met today, she immediately remembered it.

The blind date that Li Daneng introduced to Yu Duo was the sales girl who invited Yu Duo into the sales center four years ago.If I remember correctly, Li Daneng said that she is now the sales director of a well-known real estate company in H City.

"So you are the big engineering boss that my uncle said." Rebecca shook Yu Duo's hand, and quickly let go.

"I don't dare to be the big boss, I just make a living." Yu Duo smiled and sat down on the chair opposite Rebecca.

The waiter came forward to deliver the menu at the right time, and after Yu Duo casually flipped through two pages, he ordered a few dishes according to the waiter's recommendation.Now Yu Duo is familiar with using knives and forks, but he still finds it difficult to start with the plain text Western food menu without pictures.

"Can you afford to sell the house now?" Rebecca didn't care about the comparison. After the waiter ordered and left, she looked at Yu Duo with a smile and said jokingly: "Our company has several good projects now. If you are interested, you can take a look. See, I receive you myself."

I don't know if it was out of politeness, but Yu Duo readily accepted the proposal: "Then I will trouble you then."

Because of the special first meeting before, there was no embarrassment of a blind date between the two people, and the topic naturally revolved around "buying a house", and the whole process was very relaxed and happy.

After dinner, Yu Duo sent Rebecca home. The girl asked him to meet her next time at her project, and Yu Duo agreed.

The phrase "goodbye" was not an occasional word. A week later, under the witness of all the colleagues in Sany Engineering, the boss left with a beautiful woman, got into the car and left the company together.

Tonight, Yu Duo invited Rebecca to have dinner together. Before eating, they had to go to the sales center to see the house.A few days ago, Rebecca had introduced to Yu Duo the project developed by her company, but after looking around, Yu Duo was not very satisfied, so today she introduced him to a friend's project.

After a week of contact, they got to know each other a lot, and the two of them no longer went to that flashy restaurant.After coming out of the sales center, Yu Duo invited Rebecca to a Sichuan restaurant he often goes to.

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, the proprietress warmly greeted them.Yu Duo ordered a small table without looking at the menu.

"I didn't expect you to be so picky and dissatisfied after looking at so many real estate properties?" Rebecca dipped her chopsticks into the red oil, picked out a red pepper and crunched it in her mouth: "I ask you , What kind of house do you want?"

"The house type is Zhou Zheng, the transportation is convenient, there is a school district, and it is best to have a subway..."

Yu Duo was busy picking out the peanuts in Kung Pao Chicken, he hated eating peanuts, and when this dish was served, he would first pick out the peanuts for Jiang Chiyu.

Halfway through picking, he remembered that Jiang Chiyu was not here tonight, so he put down his chopsticks angrily.

"Yo." Hearing the word "school district", Rebecca became excited: "I even thought about the children. Is this a preparation for marriage?"

"No, this suite is actually for me..." Yu Duo paused, not thinking about how to introduce Jiang Chiyu's identity, and simply said, "I bought it for my brother."

Rebecca obviously didn't believe it, she gave a dry laugh, and extended her chopsticks to a plate of fried pork: "You are so kind to your brother."

Yu Duo took a large bowl of boiled fish from the waiter and put it on the table, without bothering to explain.He sometimes wonders if he has become addicted to raising a child. He used to eagerly support that kid in his studies, but now he is thinking about getting married and buying a house for him, just like the patriarch in a traditional family.

But looking at it from another perspective, without Jiang Chiyu, there would be no Yu Duo’s current company. It can be said that the Trinity Project was established by Jiang Chiyu. For this reason, Yu Duo thinks it is worth buying him a suite.

Judging from Jiang Chiyu's reaction that day, his road to love should be quite bumpy.In Yu Duo's view, Jiang Chiyu has good looks, good education, and earning ability far superior to his peers. No matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that he can't get what he wants after so many years.

Yu Duo seriously thought about the reasons for this, after much deliberation, he came to a conclusion, probably because his original family was in a mess, and he didn't have a house, so he didn't feel safe with him.

Taking a step back, even if it wasn't for this reason, if Jiang Chiyu wanted to get married after graduation, he would still need a decent house, and he couldn't bring his daughter-in-law to live in a rented house with him.

He can't afford a house in the city center, and the down payment for a small apartment in the suburbs is still available.
