Prohibition of losing contact

Zhou Qingbai had a long sleep in the white noise of soft keyboard tapping.

Perhaps it was the sound of the pages turning in my ears that never stopped, so Zhou Qingbai dreamed of his high school scene after a long absence.

At that time, like the general public, he was in an ordinary high school, with a living allowance of 150 yuan, studying papers that could never be finished, and facing a physics score of 75 points, he wanted to cry without tears.

Midsummer class breaks were noisy and lively, hot sunlight came in from the window, dusty basketballs passed over the heads of students, and then fell into the trash can.

A bottle of Coke with ice-cold water drops was placed on the desk, soaking several blank chemistry papers. Zhou Qingbai sat in the corner of the class, looking at the Huoshaoyun outside the window before evening self-study, falling asleep.

Then he fell asleep in a dream and woke up in reality.

A worry-free and free dream seemed to have a natural healing effect, Zhou Qingbai only felt that his bones were crisp and fleshy, even though his whole body was sleepy, but his brain was still immersed in a lukewarm and lazy state.

The sun was setting outside the window, and the shutters had all been pulled open, and large flakes of fire clouds were pouring over the sky, bringing a fiery scene.

Zhou Qingbai lowered his eyes halfway, and moved a little lazily to the side, avoiding the chilly air conditioner, and buried half of his face under his suit jacket.

The bleary sleepiness when he first woke up made his brain run a bit sluggish. Zhou Qingbai grabbed the collar of his suit and hid it for a while before realizing that it was not his clothes.

The crisp suit jacket is stained with a subtle perfume smell, like the tail tone of white tea and cedar, which is faint and can only be smelled close at hand. It is hard to tell whether it is sprayed by the owner himself or in the office Accidentally stained.

Zhou Qingbai didn't dislike this fragrance, so he stayed at this temperature for a while with peace of mind, and then lazily opened his eyes.

Except for Pei You, everyone else in the office had gone clean at some point, leaving only stacks of snow-white vouchers and documents on the desktop, as well as a pile of scattered coffee cups.

And Pei You turned his back to him, still sitting in the original position, facing a vague form on the computer screen, typing.

He was only wearing a formal white shirt, which looked a little thin in the air-conditioned room.Zhou Qingbai blinked, and his brain integrated and summarized the two kinds of information, and finally sorted them into a complete conclusion.

His coat is on me, Zhou Qingbai thought.

The soft keyboard makes a slight friction sound, which sounds regular and soft, even in such a quiet environment, it doesn't seem noisy.

The color of the setting sun was getting darker, and the orange halo extended along the window root to Pei You's feet, then quietly climbed up his trousers, and finally left a illusory background on his shirt.

Looking at Pei You's back, Zhou Qingbai suddenly understood why Ge Xing was so persistent in wanting to introduce him to him.

"Pei You." Zhou Qingbai called him.

Because he slept for most of the afternoon, his throat was a little dry, but Pei You was not frightened by his sudden noise, so he naturally pushed the computer forward and looked back at him.

"wake up?"

As he spoke, Pei You reached out and rummaged through a few plastic bags beside him, then took out a cup of unopened coffee from it, and handed it to Zhou Qingbai.

"They ordered takeout in the afternoon, and they brought your portion too." Pei You said, "It's been over an hour and it's not hot anymore, but it should still be able to drink."

Zhou Qingbai slept on the chair for more than two hours, his waist and back were stiff, and he felt creaking when he moved.

The suit jacket slipped off his shoulders, caught by Zhou Qingbai in mid-air, and held him in his arms.

He leaned over to take the cold cup of coffee, took a sip from the lid, and found that it was the flavor he usually ordered.

"Hey." Zhou Qingbai took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If I have a younger sister, I will marry her to you no matter what."

Pei You was confused by his thoughtless emotion, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you sleepy?"

"No, I'm sober." Zhou Qingbai struggled to straighten his sitting posture, stretched his numb left leg, and said with a smile, "This is a feeling from the bottom of my heart."

"Forget it." Pei You rarely joked with him: "It's not like you don't know my sexual orientation, so don't push your sister into the fire pit."

Zhou Qingbai just sighed, but didn't take it seriously. Hearing this, he smiled, stood up from the chair, and moved around on the spot.

"Where are the others?" Zhou Qingbai asked, "Why are you the only one left?"

"They went to dinner." Pei You said.

"Then why don't you go?" Zhou Qingbai asked.

"Don't worry, I'll go as soon as I finish writing this draft." Pei You said, "It's you, it's already time to get off work, should you go?"

Zhou Qingbai's commuting time has always been quite precise. If Zhou Cangshan hadn't asked him, he would have wished not to come early in the morning and leave late in the evening. He looks a bit like a new century anti-involvement social animal.

Pei You didn't know what he was doing when he was off work, he only knew that he was swimming like a dragon swimming in the sea when he was off work, and he couldn't even touch a shadow.

Zhou Qingbai slept for half the afternoon, and was still in a daze. When he reminded him, he suddenly remembered something. With an ouch, he hurriedly started touching his phone up and down.

Before he could rummage through his pockets, Pei You stood up from the desk and stuffed something into his hand.

"The phone fell out when you were half asleep." Pei You said, "I'll put it next to you."

This scene seemed familiar, but Zhou Qingbai had no time to take care of it for the time being, because the time on the phone screen had already skipped 07:30, and he made an appointment with someone at [-]:[-], and now it was almost too late.

"Thank you." Zhou Qingbai grabbed his phone, walked around the room like a storm, and said quickly: "I really have to go, I'll treat you to coffee tomorrow."

"Wait." Pei You stopped him: "Coat."

Only then did Zhou Qingbai realize that he was still holding on to his clothes, smiled embarrassedly, and stuffed the coat back into Pei You's hand.

"I really have to go, it's too late." Zhou Qingbai said, "Wait until tomorrow, I'll bring you chestnut cake tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the office and headed for the elevator room quickly.

Pei You watched him go out, then shook his head dumbfounded, put his coat back on, thinking about how to tell Zhou Qingbai that he didn't really like chestnut cakes much.

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with one, two, three, so he simply decided not to say it, because he didn't hate eating cake anyway.

Pei You was the only one left in the office for a while. He checked today's draft for the last time, then checked the time, turned off the computer, locked the office door, and went to Zhou Cangshan's office with the documents.

Obviously they are brothers, Zhou Cangshan and Zhou Qingbai have very different temperaments, one goes to get off work while the other is a career madman.

When Pei You went upstairs, the door of Zhou Cangshan's office was wide open, and the director of the business department had just left.

"Mr. Pei." Seeing him coming in, Zhou Cangshan greeted him politely and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask about Dongjiang Company." Pei You put the documents on Zhou Cangshan's desk and said, "Their financial information has not been delivered for a long time. My team members have urged them, but there is no result. Mr. Zhou , would you like to help me out?"

Zhou Cangshan froze for a moment, took the document and flipped through two pages, pinching the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.

"Sit first." Zhou Cangshan waved his hand to signal Pei You to sit down, then paused, as if he was trying to speak.

"Actually, this company...is a bit special." Zhou Cangshan said, "The legal person of this company is the son of my father's comrade-in-arms."

When Zhou Jianguo was young, he served as a soldier on the Shaanxi-Gansu Line. The feelings of that era were simple and pure, and a random passage can be remembered for a lifetime.

Liu Jiancheng, the former boss of Dongjiang Company, was a brother of Zhou Jianguo who was in the same class as bunk beds. The two of them joined the army and were assigned to the same team. They practiced together during the day and stood guard together at night.

Later, when their service period expired and they were demobilized and changed jobs, Liu Jiancheng didn't go to the arranged job and started a business instead. Unfortunately, his career luck was not as good as Zhou Jianguo's. The company has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the industry, and can only be counted as It's a local business.

"The market economy is changing so fast now. A few years ago, their company couldn't keep up with the development and was about to go bankrupt, so they approached my dad and asked him to help." Zhou Cangshan said: "The days when they were soldiers In [-], when I went out to rescue a disaster, my dad stepped on a stone and almost fell into the flood, but Uncle Liu helped my dad—he saved my dad’s life, so we can’t just leave him alone.”

Like Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Cangshan had been in the army and valued his friendship very much. So when Liu Jiancheng came to ask for help when he had nowhere to go, he let it go and decided to buy their company wholly.

At that time, Qingshan had just become independent, and the financial operation was more convenient than Zhou Jianguo and others, so Zhou Cangshan simply put Dongjiang under the name of Qingshan and kept it for himself.

Liu Jiancheng is a kind person, and his character has always been very good. Zhou Cangshan only thinks that he is paying back favors for his own father, and has never taken Dongjiang seriously.

But five years ago, Liu Jiancheng passed away due to illness, and before he died, he transferred the company to his own son Liu Xin. Since then, things have been a little bit wrong.

"Although the control of Dongjiang is in the hands of Qingshan, we did not reassign the management because of his father's face." Zhou Cangshan said, "But in recent years, their annual reports have been a mess. I have long thought Find an opportunity to explore the bottom of Dongjiang."

Pei You understood Zhou Cangshan's meaning, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's not impossible. I'll go back and tell the office. When it's convenient for you, I can also go on a business trip."

Dongjiang is a wholly-owned company of Tsingshan. If the accounts are in a mess, it will also affect Tsingshan's future listing. Pei You has to do an internal audit, so he can't leave such a big bomb alone.

"That would be the best." Zhou Cangshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Then I'll do some research and give you an answer as soon as possible—how many people are needed for this trip?"

Dongjiang's size is not large, so there is no need for a group to go. Pei You calculated the work items in his mind and said, "I can do it alone."

"That's good." Zhou Cangshan said, "I'll make arrangements for you as soon as possible, and try to get there within a week."

"Yes." Pei You nodded, then raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "If there's nothing else, I won't bother you. I have something to do tonight, so I have to leave a little earlier."

"Don't you want to stay for a light meal?" Zhou Cangshan invited, "It's just a good time to chat about Dongjiang."

"Not tonight." Pei You politely declined, "I have an appointment tonight, and I need to resolve some personal issues."
