frontal rain

Jiang Chiyu was right in predicting that the days after the new year will not be easy.

As soon as the holiday was over, the project department left several old employees in a row, and the company was lifeless, without any vitality.Si Mao was transferred to the business department, and he became taciturn. He heard that he broke up with his rich second-generation girlfriend, and that the dazzling Mercedes-Benz coupe was replaced by a dusty Corolla.

Due to the excessive funding gap, the project was stretched and the construction progress slowed down.The extension of the construction period means that the cost will increase, so it has fallen into a vicious circle.

The employees who choose to advance and retreat with the company try their best to behave as before, but the plight of the company's management, the shadow of Li Daneng's death, and the confusion about the future still hang over everyone's heart like dark clouds.

Yu Duo saw all these changes, but he was powerless to change anything. In many cases, the power of a person is so small.

The turning point came on a certain day in mid-April. The arrival of a piece of news was like a booster, bringing the dying company back to life.

This morning, the bidding results for the construction of the East Bus Station were announced.This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Among the thousands of companies participating in the bidding, the winning bidder was actually a little-known company like Yu Duo's.

Everyone was dazed by the sudden good news. Before they could recover, the bank sent another news that the loan that the company applied for years ago had also been officially approved.

At that time, Yu Duo was showing a newcomer how to prefabricate pipe fittings on the construction site. After hearing the news, he felt like winning the first prize in a lottery. Judging from past experience, it was hard for him to believe that such good luck would befall him.

Needless to say, the significance of the East Bus Station project is that companies that meet the conditions, no matter how big or small, are fighting for it.The loan from the bank is like a timely rain. Although the amount is not large, as long as every penny is spent wisely, it is enough for them to fight a turnaround.

Jiang Chiyu was not in the company today, Yu Duo's first reaction was to call him and tell him about it.But as soon as the call was made, he remembered that Jiang Chiyu should be taking the TOEFL test right now, so he hung up the phone hastily.

The TOEFL test site happened to be at Jiang Chiyu's own school, and after he finished his work on the construction site, it was almost time for the test to end. Yu Duo didn't delay, and hurriedly drove to H University.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, but Yu Duo just wanted to share this good news with Jiang Chiyu as soon as possible.

Although Yu Duo is a native of the city, he has never had anything to do with culture since he was a child. If it weren't for Jiang Chiyu, he might never have had the chance to enter H University in his life.

Perhaps it is for this reason that he always has a bit of longing and longing for the university campus.Yu Duo parked his car downstairs in the examination room according to the signs, got out of the car and wandered around the campus, unexpectedly some students thought he was a senior from the same school, and came to him shyly to ask for directions.

Yu Duo strolled along the boulevard and returned to the car, just as the exam was over.Just as Jiang Chiyu walked out of the examination room with his classmates, he saw a missed call from Yu Duo on his mobile phone.

Jiang Chiyu tapped the phone screen lightly, and was about to call Yu Duo back, when the classmate next to him suddenly poked him on the shoulder, and said to him, "Hey, Jiang Chiyu, is that your brother over there?"

Jiang Chiyu stopped his dialing finger, and looked suspiciously in the direction pointed by his classmate, and he saw Yu Duo in the car.

Yu Duo's looks are outstanding, Jiang Chiyu has always known this, even though he drives a surprisingly dilapidated pickup truck parked on campus, it still attracts the attention of passing students.

It must have been a while since Yu Duo came, his fingers tapped on the steering wheel unconsciously, as if he was a little impatient for waiting.Jiang Chiyu was inexplicably pleased by his little emotions, curled the corners of his mouth, and laughed.

He turned sideways and said to his companion beside him: "I suddenly have something to do, so I won't go to the lunch gathering, everyone have fun."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his schoolbag and walked quickly towards Yu Duo without waiting for his classmates to reply.

"Handsome, where are you going?" Yu Duo sat in the car and saw Jiang Chiyu walking towards him from afar.He leaned out slightly, leaned on the car window, blew a whistle indecently, and imitated the tone of a black car driver: "I'm going to call it a day, it's cheaper for you."

Yu Duo's appearance here already attracted attention, but this whistle attracted more eyes. Jiang Chiyu even suspected that if he came a little later, Yu Duo would be abducted by the owner of these eyes.

Jiang Chiyu trotted all the way to Yu Duo's window, blocking the sight of others, and blurted out a popular local love phrase: "Go to your heart."

As soon as the words fell, he was amused by himself, as if he didn't think it was nasty enough, he asked again: "How much?"

"Oh, what a coincidence." Yu Duo was in a good mood today, and he didn't get angry when he was teased for no reason, but replied with a smile: "Small business, no long-distance calls."

"Then go to No. 128, Sanyi Road, Tangcun first." Jiang Chiyu couldn't be hit by such an answer. He walked around to the side of the co-pilot familiarly, opened the door, and said to Yu Duo with a smile: "Long distance, let's go." Keep walking, maybe it will arrive soon?"

As if in response to Jiang Chiyu's words, many things happened inadvertently.Jiang Chiyu pushed open the big heavy iron door downstairs, and when he walked into the corridor with Yu Duo, Yu Duo was vividly imitating the tone of Sister Sun's call to inform him of winning the bid.

Maybe it's because of a look in the eyes, maybe it's just the interlacing of breathing for a moment, or maybe it's just because the two people haven't seen such a happy smile on each other's face for a long time.In short, when Yu Duo was talking and laughing past a spot of light reflected by the shadow of a tree, without any warning, Jiang Chiyu suddenly lowered his head and kissed him,

The sunlight falling on the eyelashes was suddenly cut off by Jiang Chiyu, and Yu Duo took a step back. The sparrow on the fence was frightened and flew out with flapping wings.

A feather fell to the ground lightly, and the two kissed each other so naturally.

The sun at noon in spring is warm, and it still has the unique fragrance of spring on the body.From the first floor to the fourth floor, there are a total of eight turns and one hundred and four steps.

Yu Duo wanted to stop halfway to catch his breath, but Jiang Chiyu pushed him into a corner where no one else could see him, and blocked him back involuntarily.

Jiang Chiyu had never kissed someone so long and meticulously before. He poured all his tenderness and patience into this person in front of him.

If the previous few times were caused by human instinct, then the kiss this time did not know where it came from.

It's not about passion, it's not about desire, it's just that at some important moment in their lives, they both want to kiss each other quietly.

***

The bid winning notice was mailed to the company soon, and Yu Duo signed a contract with the passenger terminal. The frost withered and the summer green, spring went to summer, and everything was going in a good direction.

Jiang Chiyu's language test also came out, and he undoubtedly got a high score.The formalities at the school are ready, and the day to go abroad is approaching.

Many opening remarks such as "Mr. Jiang, after you go abroad..." "Chi Yu, you will not be here by then, who should I turn to..." appear more and more frequently in the conversations of colleagues, and not many people noticed it before. The atmosphere of parting also became stronger day by day as time went on.

The ETC on the windshield made a "beep" sound, and the car passed the toll booth smoothly. Jiang Chiyu sat in the passenger seat and said to the person on the phone: "Sister Shengnan, it's really unnecessary, really."

Lin Shengnan's voice penetrated the earpiece and surrounded the car, Yu Duo glanced at Jiang Chiyu from the corner of his eye, stepped on the accelerator lightly and drove on the highway.

Lin Shengnan said a long word on the phone again, Jiang Chiyu listened patiently, then slowed down his tone, and said, "I know, I have received the message, thank you for me, there is no need for anything else."

Seeing that Jiang Chiyu's attitude was so firm, Lin Shengnan didn't insist anymore, she explained a few more words on the phone, and then hung up.

"What's wrong?" Yu Duo asked after hanging up the phone.At this moment, he was driving Jiang Chiyu to the airport, because Jiang Chiyu needed an interview to apply for a visa, so Jiang Chiyu had to fly to Shanghai specially.

If it was just to apply for a visa, two or three days would be enough time, but he also promised to help the tutor handle some things along the way, so there would be a few more days of delay on the way.

Jiang Chiyu's smile was somewhat helpless: "Sister Shengnan said, when I go back this time, I will hold a farewell party for me."

"It's not very good, everyone is having a lot of fun together." Yu Duo had just listened through the leaky phone receiver. Lin Shengnan likes to talk about these things on weekdays. In her words, this is called a ceremony. feel.

"Let's forget it, it's a lot of work." Apparently Jiang Chiyu didn't think it was a good idea, so he put away his phone and turned on the radio in the car.

After getting on the expressway, it took another half an hour to get to the airport. Yu Duo picked a channel that was pleasant to the ear, and casually teased Jiang Chiyu: "Don't be afraid that you won't be able to hold back and cry in front of everyone, right? "

Jiang Chiyu imagined that scene in his mind, couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately countered: "I'm afraid you will cry."

"Stop coming." Yu Duo stretched out his hand and turned up the volume, with a nonchalant look on his face: "I wish you would leave early, with clean ears."

"Really?" Jiang Chiyu glanced at Yu Duo with a half-smile, and said, "A liar will have a longer nose."

Yu Duo's words are very chic, but his actions are completely different.When he arrived at the airport, he parked the car in the basement and sent Jiang Chiyu all the way to the security checkpoint. If it wasn't for the conditions, he might have to send him to the plane. He didn't remember that Jiang Chiyu was just going to Shanghai this time. I will be back in one day.

On the way back, Yu Duo was alone, and the co-pilot suddenly became empty, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The evening news was broadcast on the radio. The news said that the city has stepped up anti-corruption efforts this year, and a large number of related personnel have been investigated.

Then the anchor reported a series of names of the fugitives, and Yu Duo was a little absent-minded.Several of the names were familiar, and Yu Duo vaguely remembered where they had heard them, but he didn't take them to heart if they had nothing to do with him.

The airport is about an hour's drive away from the company. The rare free time allowed Yu Duo to calm down and think about some things.Many thoughts popped up in his mind, but they always revolved around Jiang Chiyu.

The boundary between him and Jiang Chiyu has long been crossed, which is very abnormal.

After such a long period of time, no one dared to take the initiative to sort out the relationship between them. Jiang Chiyu didn't ask, and Yu Duo didn't say anything. Maybe it's good for them to keep the status quo.

After all, friendship and love have deadlines, and only family ties are unbreakable.Both forward and backward means possible loss, and none of them has the courage to bear the consequences.

Yu Duo knew in his heart that the way he and Jiang Chiyu got along had already broken through the boundary between brothers.They are used to hugging, enjoying kissing, and even occasionally having a whim, and they don't mind having an endless "mutual help".Even if his skin is really as thick as a city wall, he can't continue to indulge in this secret throbbing while calling himself a "straight man".

Not taking the initiative, not being responsible, not refusing, is indeed the most relaxed state for Yu Duo, but if the other party is Jiang Chiyu, Yu Duo can't be at ease.

He has already made a decision, and when Jiang Chiyu comes back this time, he will find an opportunity to have a good talk with him.Both Jiang Chiyu and himself needed an answer.

The distance of [-] kilometers is nothing, and time is not an obstacle. No matter how many years Jiang Chiyu wants to study abroad, he can afford it and wait.

After figuring this matter out, Yu Duo's heart suddenly cleared up. At this moment, when he looked back at the problems that had troubled him for a long time, he actually felt that it was not a big deal.

It's a pity that Yu Duo's happy mood didn't last long. As soon as he stepped into the company's gate, he found that there was something wrong with Sun Jie's expression.

It's already off-duty time, the lights in the company are brightly lit, and Sister Sun usually wants to sneak away as soon as the o'clock arrives, but she still hasn't got off work today.

"What's the matter?" Yu Duo stopped and asked, "Why don't you get off work?"

"Mr. Yu, you're back." Seeing Yu Duo entering the door, Sister Sun seemed to have seen a savior. She first greeted her loudly, then suddenly lowered her volume, and said to Yu Duo with a serious face: "There are guests in the office, come here. money."

"Who is it?" Yu Duo wondered.

Sister Sun reported the names of six people in a row. These six people are known to Yu Duo, and they are all material suppliers who cooperate closely with their company.

After knowing who came, Yu Duo felt even more puzzled: "The material payment for last year has already been paid, and this year has not yet reached the point of payment. What kind of money are they asking for at this time?"

Just at this time, the two had arrived in front of Yu Duo's office, and Sister Sun said to Yu Duo: "I don't know the specific situation, you can talk to them and you will know."

After finishing speaking, Sister Sun pushed open the door, and Yu Duo saw five men and one woman sitting on the sofa.At the same time, they also saw Yu Duo outside the door, and stood up abruptly.
