In the evening, Jiang Chiyu came to Yu Duo's house for dinner as scheduled. After dinner, Yu Duo answered a phone call from the construction site on the balcony.

The call was made by the representatives of the residents of Tang Village. They did not know what rumors they had received recently, and they lined up to come and apologize to Yu Duo.

These days, Yu Duo went to work as usual, and the crowd of "rights defenders" who had surrounded the company for several days disappeared overnight like an ebb tide, and even the mess everywhere was cleaned up.

That night, a large group of people risked being caught in the police station, and the video shot with long guns and short cannons was never released in the end.

Brother Jian suddenly stopped without warning. There are two possibilities. One is that he found that Yu Duo didn't follow that routine at all and stopped doing useless work.The second is that someone beat him in the back.

As for who this person is, Yu Duo doesn't think about it.

Seeing Jiang Chiyu sitting on the sofa, watching the family ethics drama on TV at [-] o'clock bored, Yu Duo didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the person on the phone.

"Okay, I see. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, Yu Duo hung up the phone in a hurry, went back to the living room, and sat down beside Jiang Chiyu.

With the development of the matter up to now, the whole story of the incident in Tang Village has become clear.Yu Duo has to admit that when the riots first broke out, he really suspected Jiang Chiyu, and later he followed the clues to find Brother Jian, and he knew that he had misunderstood him.

Seeing Yu Duo coming back with a serious face after answering the phone, Jiang Chiyu asked casually, "What's the matter? What happened to the company recently?"

"It's nothing, everything is fine." Yu Duo was still immersed in his own thoughts, his first reaction was to deny, and then he said what he was thinking: "I misunderstood you about Tangcun, I'm sorry. "

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Duo always felt that after he said this sentence, the air pressure covering Jiang Chiyu's body became even lower.

But Jiang Chiyu didn't seem to take this matter seriously, he didn't even take his attention away from the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but continued to stare at the TV screen, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's not a big deal. "

At that time, he and Yang Youyun had just returned to City H, and they went to Tangtang Village to investigate Wang Jianming and Jin Shi.It happened that there was a disturbance in the nail house, and the two stopped to watch the excitement for a while.

He didn't expect to meet Yu Duo there, let alone Yu Duo would blame him for it.But at that time, the relationship between him and Yu Duo was tense, so he didn't explain it.

Seeing Jiang Chiyu's reluctance to talk further, Yu Duo didn't ask any further questions.Now he has learned the lessons of the previous bad breakups, always remembers his position, and does not say what he shouldn't say.

But Jiang Chiyu didn't accept this favor. Just when Yu Duo stood up and was about to pour a glass of water, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Duo's wrist, pulled him back to the sofa, and pulled him away swiftly. His collar showed his shoulders under the clothes.

Yu Duo's shoulder blades hit the back of the sofa heavily, and he couldn't stretch himself any longer: "Jiang Chiyu!"

"What's wrong with your shoulder?" Jiang Chiyu ignored Yu Duo's panic, pressed his upper body, and moved his gaze downstream.

Yu Duo rolled in mud on the construction site today, and changed into loose home clothes after returning home. Not long after Jiang Chiyu entered the door, he found that his arm movements were a little awkward.

Just now, when Yu Duo was stacking vegetables in his bowl, Jiang Chiyu accidentally caught a glimpse of a large bruise on his shoulder and neck.

Seeing that Yu Duo didn't answer, Jiang Chiyu unceremoniously peeled off his collar a little more, exposing a large chest, and his gaze swept over the bruise as if it had substance.

Facing Jiang Chiyu's eyes, Yu Duo was so inspired that half of his body began to go numb.

This bruise is much more serious than what you can see through the clothes. It starts from the collarbone and extends to the front chest.

"How did you do it?" Jiang Chiyu asked, the large bruises continuously stimulated his fragile nerves.

Only then did Yu Duo realize what was going on. He glanced down at the injured area and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I accidentally bumped into it on the construction site a few days ago. It's okay. Do you want some fruit?"

Jiang Chiyu couldn't be fooled by this rhetoric, he had already passed the time when Yu Duo would believe everything he said, and this was obviously a traumatic injury.

"Did Wang Jianming and his gang do it?" Jiang Chiyu let go of his hand, his voice became cold.

Yu Duo's tension eased a little, he raised his hand to straighten the deformed collar, got up and sat up, thinking that Jiang Chiyu really got better and better as he grew up, he could guess this.

"Baseball bat, shovel, steel bars, or something else?" Jiang Chiyu didn't intend to let Yu Duo fool him easily today, and continued to ask.

Yu Duo glanced at the expression on Jiang Chiyu's face, and finally answered truthfully: "Shovel."

The gangsters under Wang Jianming threatened the company's interns with shovels that day, but Yu Duo stepped forward to stop them, and accidentally injured his shoulder.

After listening to Yu Duo's brief account of what happened, Jiang Chiyu almost couldn't bring it up in one breath.The shovel that was slapped on Yu Duo's shoulder seemed to be drawn straight into his heart, and the whole chest was burning and burning, and it was burning hot.

"I already know what good things Wang Jianming has done recently." Jiang Chiyu didn't want to pretend that nothing happened, and asked Yu Duo repeatedly: "He has provoked you for so many days in a row, why didn't you tell me, and why didn't you come to me? Even now you still want to hide it from me, you know who he is most afraid of right now."

Jiang Chiyu has been back for so long, and when facing Yu Duo, he either hides a knife in his eccentric words or walks on thin ice carefully. He has never lost his temper so straightforwardly like today.

For a moment, Yu Duo didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

Without asking Jiang Chiyu for this favor, Yu Duo naturally had his own considerations, but he had a hunch that speaking out his thoughts at this time would definitely add fuel to the flames.

"It's for my own good again?" Seeing Yu Duo's reaction, Jiang Chiyu smiled inexplicably, and said his answer first.

Now that Jiang Chiyu had already thought about it, Yu Duo put his heart on hold, and simply said: "After all, you have interests involved now, and I don't want to involve you. Besides, the problem has been successfully resolved now."

Jiang Chiyu glanced at Yu Duo's bruised shoulder and thought, this is what you said was smooth.

Jiang Chiyu was not a person with violent mood swings since he was a child, and the person in front of him was Yu Duo, his anger only stayed in his heart for a moment, and he quickly controlled it.

After the anger pent up in my heart dissipated, the distress left behind was even more unsettling.

"That's right, I've never been of much help to you, you can solve everything by yourself." Jiang Chiyu quickly regained his composure, looked at Yu Duo, and added: "You've always been like this."

"That's not the case." Yu Duo looked at him, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only say palely: "Besides, you didn't solve Wang Jianming's matter for me in the end, otherwise how could he give up so quickly. "

"That's because I'm busy." Jiang Chiyu said calmly, "You don't need me to do anything."

This person can't be coaxed well, Yu Duo sighed heavily in his heart, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Chiyu.

At the beginning, he seemed hesitant, but in the end he carefully covered the back of Jiang Chiyu's hand and gently held it in his palm, like a cat not yet used to acting like a spoiled child, clumsily showing its kindness to its master.

"You know that's not what I mean." Yu Duo brushed Jiang Chiyu's tiger's mouth unconsciously with calloused fingertips.

The temperature from the back of his hand made Jiang Chiyu fall into self-loathing once again, such a small gesture by Yu Duo made him lose his temper completely, and he couldn't even show him a bluffing cold face.

In the final analysis, it was never Yu Duo's fault, and he shouldn't take his powerlessness on him.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood recently, don't mind." Jiang Chiyu didn't want Yu Duo to see anything, he took his hand out of Yu Duo's palm, picked up the cell phone on the coffee table, and dialed Xiao Zhao's number : "I asked Zhao Zhu to bring some medicine. I will be busy in the next period of time. Take care of yourself."

Not long after, the taciturn assistant next to Jiang Chiyu delivered the medicine to the door.In the past, even if Yu Duo's hand was just a small cut, Jiang Chiyu had to help him deal with it before giving up, but today he just delivered the medicine to Yu Duo and left with Zhao Zhu.

After that day, the relationship between the two of them improved slightly, but with the arrival of deep winter, the temperature inexplicably dropped.

The situation on Yu Duo's side has calmed down, but there are rumors in the circle again, saying that Brother Jian somehow got into Mr. Jiang's mold, Guihu suddenly stopped the plan to invest in Jinshi without warning, and Jinshi sought Guihu's cooperation Failed, now powerless and about to declare bankruptcy.

Although this rumor has not been confirmed by both parties, there is no sign of resumption of work on several projects in Jinshi's hands that are hovering on the verge of unfinished business, and most of the executives have run away, which can already be glimpsed.

When the gold stone fell, the demolition work in Tang Village went on smoothly without any hindrance, which is enough to prove that the previous "public grievances" were all provoked by Brother Jian.

In just over a month, some old projects were completed and new projects started, and the time came to the end of the year amidst the roar of excavators.

There are many things at the end of the year, which is the busiest time of the year for engineers. Yu Duo ran back and forth between the construction site and various entertainments for several days.

This day, Yu Duo didn't have time to come to the company until he was about to leave work in the afternoon.As soon as he sat down at his desk, Qianqian knocked on the door with an envelope and walked in: "Boss, this one was delivered from Guihu Lake just now, and the sender is..." She glanced at the signature, Said: "General Manager's Office."

Half of the coat on Yu Duo's body was taken off, he was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and blurted out to ask, "What's in it?"

Qianqian was about to open the envelope when she heard Yu Duo's question, and then heard Yu Duo say to her: "Give me the letter, you can get off work first."

Inside the envelope was an invitation letter, which said that Yuegui Lake would hold an annual meeting at the end of the year, and invited Yu Duo to come to the banquet.Looking at the row of words on the invitation letter, Yu Duo's heart that jumped up high at some point suddenly stepped on the void.

Guihu attaches great importance to their annual meeting, and every year they invite cooperative companies to participate. This invitation letter comes from the general manager's office. You don't need to think about it, you know that as long as it is related to Guihu, everyone will have a copy.

Just last week, Yu Duo's own company also opened the tail teeth.Their annual meeting is not as elaborate as that of Guihu Lake, and it does not have such a big ostentation. Yu Duo invited the village banquet chef who used to be famous in Tang Village to sit in the town, and set up dozens of banquet tables on the overhead floor of the company. Everyone in the company Qi Qi gathered here and had a meal happily.

Yu Duo also sent an invitation letter to Jiang Chiyu. In fact, he could feel that although Jiang Chiyu didn't show anything at the end of the day, he was still holding his breath in his heart, waiting for him to coax him.In the past, Jiang Chiyu was awkward, but Yu Duo had a lot of ways to ensure that the medicine would cure the disease.But times have changed, times have changed, and many things are no longer suitable for him to do, and he can no longer say many things.

Jiang Chiyu didn't come that night, and Yu Duo didn't let anyone see his frustration. He happily sealed a big red envelope for each of the employees.

Everyone was very happy, and Qianqian and Li Qidong were even more eager to perform. They sang a song "Grateful Heart" on the spot and presented it to the boss, which made everyone present laugh together.

Yu Duo said early on that don't be restrained tonight, and everyone naturally let go of their hands and feet to have fun. Even the most introverted colleague on weekdays chased Yu Duo for red envelopes after drinking too much.

Yu Duo was in the noisy and festive atmosphere, but somehow felt a little lonely.

It's just so boring day after day, year after year.

At that time, he still had a red envelope in his arms, which was for Jiang Chiyu.But looking at the situation this year, there should be no chance to send it out.

***

Yu Duo was not the only company that was invited to attend the event. Yu Duo and a few acquainted executives all replied tacitly to express their gratitude, but did not actually attend.Originally, the annual meeting was where the employees of the family got together to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and a group of outsiders stood there, no matter how you looked at it, it was to blame for ruining the atmosphere.

Especially Yu Duo, the new and old hatred between him and Mr. Jiang is almost known to everyone under Jian Ge's propaganda, and he has no interest in going to the bad guys at this time, just to add to the conversation.

Moreover, at the annual meeting of Guihu Lake this year, there was also an undercurrent.Jiang Chiyu and Yang Youyun were asked by the head office to go back to explain the situation after a year because they aborted their plan to invest in Goldstone without authorization.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang Youyun and Jiang Chiyu are going back to "report on their duties" on the surface this time, but they are actually "seizing power".The open and secret struggle between Yang Youyun and her brothers has surfaced after the failure of the investment in Jinshi.Several parties have been planning for a long time for the big battle in the next year, and each of them put their most important chips on this gambling table.

If the two of you go, you will be the king if you succeed, and you will be the bandit if you lose. No one in this world is a fool, and everyone is making plans for their own interests.

As a result, the various forces inside Guihu Lake began to move around again, taking the lead in advance.

However, these things in Guihu Lake have nothing to do with Yu Duo in the final analysis. On the night of the Guihu Annual Meeting, Yu Duo went home from get off work to soak his feet, and went to bed early.

He is not very old, but his lifestyle is very old-fashioned. These years, it seems that he has entered his old age early. He obviously has more money in his hand than he can spend in half his life, and he lives a simple and ordinary life every day.

In Lin Shengnan's words, people like Yu Duo know how to make money but don't know how to spend it.

The north wind was blowing outside the window, and just when Yu Duo was about to fall asleep, he received a call from Yang Youyun.
