The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

In Huo Chuxiao's imagination, Ji Zongming should be pleasantly surprised for a short time, and then he pretended not to care and said it didn't matter because of his face.

Act like they first mentioned it at the coffee shop.

But Ji Zongming just looked at him blankly, and then suddenly said sharply: "What did you say!?"

At that moment, he felt like a fool who had just carefully selected reference books.

Huo Chuxiao was frightened by his furious tone, opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "I mean..."

But Ji Zongming interrupted him: "Oh, yes, divorce. Divorce early. Why? You can't even wait these few months? Or..."

He nodded slightly, but a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"It's Qin Huai?"

Huo Chuxiao never dreamed that he would hear other names from him at such a time, he asked in astonishment: "What?"

But Ji Zongming was already out of anger. He approached step by step, and said in a cold voice: "And that little star who always looks at you with admiration? Or someone else!? I'll take you to the door, and even take you upstairs, pretending Drunk lying on your shoulders and plotting against you? Do you really think I'm blind and can't see those thoughts! So, you are finally tempted now?"

At the end of Ji Zongming's words, he was no longer in a questioning tone, but with a trace of fragility, as if he made all kinds of bluff expressions to cover up this little fragility.

Huo Chuxiao's eyes dropped out of the window when he heard this, isn't this a matter between him and Ji Zongming? Why did Qin Huai and Chu Boya get involved?What are you talking about lying on your shoulders to plot evil...

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized belatedly, did Ji Zongming mean that those people had other thoughts about him?

But right now is not the time to think about this question, Huo Chuxiao pursed his lips, and explained to himself in a calm tone:

"I just think that this marriage is a burden to you and me. The Huo family has already broken up, and the so-called commercial marriage has lost its meaning, right? You should remember what I said at the beginning, one year The reason for breaking the engagement later is just to repay the Huo family's kindness, and now this reason no longer exists. As for the others... No matter what you think, it has nothing to do with this matter here. "

After these words were finished, Ji Zongming actually gradually calmed down.

He was startled for a moment, and then he thought for a few seconds alone. He seemed to have completely accepted Huo Chuxiao's explanation, and then he snorted slightly absent-mindedly, sounding a little self-deprecating.

Then, as if he was relieved and finally got the final judgment, he sat down on the sofa with some dejection, lit a cigarette, and hung his head without saying a word.

After waiting for a long time, no one in the room spoke.

Huo Chuxiao even began to think that he hadn't made it clear just now, and was about to repeat it again, when he suddenly heard Ji Zongming say:

"Is this what you hoped for?"

"what?"

"I said, is this what you want at this stage? If so, I agree."

Huo Chuxiao didn't know how to answer for a while, because Ji Zongming saw his expression was too serious, it was so serious that he had the perception that this man was the president of a company for the first time.

He felt that Ji Zongming was still angry now, but he had seen this person angry before, never like this.

It felt like Ji Zongming revealed a brand new emotion in front of his eyes, which he had never experienced before.

He thought he was happy, but he wasn't.

What he thought was a surprise, was not.

All the positive emotions that he thought Ji Zongming would show were gone.

All that was left was a lengthy blank, Ji Zongming smoked silently, not looking at him.

At a certain moment, Huo Chuxiao even felt that he had done something wrong.

Then he saw Ji Zongming took out his mobile phone and confirmed his itinerary with the secretary, and then told him very simply which time this month he could spare to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

The whole process is very stiff, without any emotional ups and downs, without any redundant words.It's like having a business negotiation with him.

Huo Chuxiao replied woodenly, then watched Ji Zongming put on his coat, said that he was going out for a while, and then left without looking back.

"But..." Before Huo Chuxiao finished speaking, there was a bang on the door.

But it's early morning, and it's still snowing outside.

When Huo Chuxiao walked, he could see the kitchen balcony at the exit of the parking lot. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he saw Ji Zongming's off-road vehicle driving out of the dark basement with its lights on. snow marks.

Huo Chuxiao stood on the balcony and watched for a long time, until he could no longer see the figure of the car before returning to the living room.

He looked at the familiar room, but for the first time he had the illusion of emptiness.

That night, he waited until two o'clock in the morning, but Ji Zongming did not come back.

AZ company headquarters, the CEO assistant arrived at the company early as usual, and finished sorting out the documents that needed to be processed before the boss arrived. He was planning to go to the lounge to have breakfast in the microwave, and he pushed the door open, but he didn't expect to lie down on the sofa Personally, the assistant was so frightened that he almost threw the bread in his hand.

"I x!" He yelled in a low voice.

The curtains were not drawn in the room, so it was hard to see who it was, but one could vaguely see that the other person was tall, the couch couldn't even fit his whole body, and his calves were hanging out of the armrest.

The assistant made such a big commotion, the man naturally woke up too, moved his elbow on his forehead, glanced slightly sideways, and said wearily: "It's a surprise, what's the noise?"

The voice was so familiar, the assistant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Boss, why are you staying here? I was so surprised, I thought the company was burglarized."

Picking up the phone to check the time, "It's only eight o'clock, you came so early, you didn't have a meeting in the morning? Yesterday I remembered that you left work very early..."

Ji Zongming sat up from the sofa, rubbed his neck, and heard the uncomfortable clicking sound of his joints. Sleeping on the sofa for a night is obviously not a good choice. He now feels that he sleepwalked out to play a few rounds of free kick last night. Otherwise every muscle is clamoring for pain.

But the pain was still familiar to him.

After all, when Huo Chuxiao kicked him out of the house, he just slept on the spot for several days.

He recalled the past with some astonishment, and couldn't help laughing twice at himself.

The assistant was terrified by his smile, and thought that the boss must have fallen asleep, don't joke around, it's rare to give a good face, the game has been well received, and the sales of all platforms are among the best, just the bonus will be given out After three rounds, I haven't seen him smile. What's wrong...sleepwalking?

The assistant was hesitant to leave. After all, he still wanted the job, and it was obviously not a wise choice to have too much contact with his boss's private life.

However, just as he was about to rub the soles of his feet with oil and run away, Ji Zongming stopped him.

"Help me free up the whole morning of next Friday." Ji Zongming paused, and then said, "If you can, you can free up the whole morning. In short, try not to have any unnecessary work meetings on Friday. "

"Okay." The assistant changed into a working state in a second, and said seriously, "...but next Friday you will have a regular meeting with the CFO, and Mr. Yu has specifically asked you to attend it, which is related to the company's development direction for the next year , it is tentatively scheduled to be ten o'clock in the morning."

"Cancel it, reopen it on Saturday, and tell Yu Zhen."

The assistant was a little embarrassed for a while.Others are fine, except Yu Zhen, who is notoriously serious in his work, and the CEO suddenly said that he wanted to cancel the meeting. If he asked, he would definitely ask for a reason.

He was hesitating how to ask the boss about the situation, but he heard Ji Zongming say:

"Tell him I'm going to file for divorce on Friday. He'll understand."

assistant:"……???"

Ji Zongming looked up at him impatiently, "Is there anything else? Go out if you have nothing to do. I want to stay here alone for a while."

Hearing the sound of the other party closing the door and throwing away as if fleeing for his life, Ji Zongming subconsciously wanted to take out the cigarette case and light one. The lighter was out of gas, and it couldn't be fired anyway. Ji Zongming suddenly felt the backlog of emotions in his heart. Outburst, he threw the lighter violently, raised his head, and fell back on the sofa again.

Now he really wants to go back to the last time he slept here and knock himself awake.

It would have been nice if I hadn't been such a jerk back then, at least I wouldn't have the courage to express my feelings to Huo Chuxiao like I am now.

Ji Zongming laughed suddenly. In fact, in Huo Chuxiao's eyes, he was just a tool used by the Huo family to torture him.

Who would have thought that everything between them started with such a dirty purpose.

Even if they continue like this, the annual wedding anniversary, for Huo Chuxiao, is the day when his family completely sells him out.This blemish will remain forever.

So it’s okay, after the divorce, everything before that will disappear.

Between them, start again.

Obviously, I have spent the whole night figuring it out, but why do I still feel reluctant?

Ji Zongming slowly closed his eyes, allowing himself to return to the darkness again.

He barely slept even an hour last night, so he fell into a dream after a while, but it wasn't long before he was disturbed again.

This time the visitor seemed extra presumptuous, and actually pushed him directly.

Ji Zongming didn't open his eyes, he frowned first, and said angrily, "Go away."

"Ji Zongming, if you don't open your eyes again, I'll splash you with coffee."

It was Yu Zhen's voice.

Ji Zongming had no choice but to open his eyes, sat up, and said impatiently: "What are you doing, don't tell me that there is a meeting now."

"What a fucking meeting, let me ask you, just now Alex told me that you are going to get a divorce next week? What the fuck is going on?"

As Yu Zhen spoke, he moved a stool over and sat opposite him, with a serious expression on his face.

Ji Zongming didn't answer, but asked him for a cigarette first, then borrowed a lighter, took a puff, and said calmly: "What else can happen, let's get back single. Huo Chuxiao hates me, so don't want me anymore."

Yu Zhen laughed angrily, "I said you are a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. I said before that you were interested in others, but you insisted on denying it. As a result, you showed great hospitality to them every day, picking up cars and sending them off. As long as Huo Chuxiao needed it, during the meeting, you would The speed of speech is as fast as fucking doubled. I wish everyone knew that I was busy going home to accompany my wife. Moreover, Huo Chuxiao is not a tricky person. You? You fucking tell me the truth, can't you hold back and fight the bully?"

Ji Zongming dusted off the cigarette, ignored his joke, but told him what Huo Chuxiao said, and finally laughed at himself: "I have already promised him."

Yu Zhen was taken aback by this, and the reason is quite reasonable, but what is unreasonable is Ji Zongming, he just let go?Without a little struggle and nostalgia?

"No, what are you going to do? Are you really not in conflict with others, and the road is facing the sky?"

After knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time he saw Ji Zongming caring so much about someone, and Huo Chuxiao was also very good in all aspects, no matter how you look at it, he was someone who could spend a lifetime with his brother, so he just missed it, let alone Ji Zongming , he felt sorry for himself.

Fortunately, he saw Ji Zongming shaking his head in the next second.

"of course not."

Then he smiled.

"I agreed to the divorce in order to start over with him. Now that I'm single again, I'm ready to get out of the single."

After finishing speaking, Ji Zongming extinguished the cigarette butt, patted the shoulder of Yu Zhen who was still a little dazed, stood up gracefully, and walked out.

Only Yu Zhen was left behind to ask in confusion: "No, then what are you going to do!?"

Huo Chuxiao hardly did anything at home that day.Although Ji Zongming agreed to an early divorce, and even made an appointment with him simply, but for some reason, he just felt uneasy.

The boulder in my heart that should have fallen to the ground, but now it seems that it has not really fallen at all.

Ji Zongming agreed so simply, but it made him uneasy.

Has he really met someone he likes?If so, shouldn't I be happy for him?

Ji Zongming finally returned home at night.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huo Chuxiao sitting on the sofa in a daze with his legs crossed, while a certain ball game was being broadcast on the TV. The excited voice of the commentator and the noise of the crowd on the field did not make the room lively , but set off even more lonely.

When Huo Chuxiao saw him coming back, he sat upright.

Ji Zongming looked much more relaxed, and greeted him happily.

Huo Chuxiao felt that his ability to perceive words and emotions was really below average, and he couldn't understand what Ji Zongming was thinking at the moment, so he could only tentatively ask: "...Are you still angry?"

Ji Zongming laughed: "Why are you angry? I lost my temper last night, forget it."

Huo Chuxiao wanted to forget it, but he vaguely felt that it was not a gaffe.

But since Ji Zongming said so, he couldn't be bothered anymore, he wanted to go back to the room to rest, but Ji Zongming stopped him.

"Do you have any business on hand recently?"

This question directly confused Huo Chuxiao, he never thought that Ji Zongming would ask this question.

"Oh Nope."

There were too many people asking him to make an appointment to paint, but it became a difficult task. The choice was dizzying. Anyway, the money was enough, so he simply gave himself a half-month vacation to rest and draw something he liked by the way.

Hearing this, Ji Zongming nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Then are you interested in cooperating with AZ?"

Seeing that Huo Chuxiao was still in a daze and hadn't come to his senses, Ji Zongming asked him to sit down with him, and started talking to him seriously with the attitude of talking about work.

Although AZ is now in the limelight and holds the most popular game in hand, it is still a new company after all. The corporate culture is still in the stage of establishment. The style and representative elements of the company have not yet been fixed. The company has been looking for someone with Representative painters helped with the design, but because it was not an important matter, it has been delayed until now.

Huo Chuxiao is very suitable in all aspects, and he is close to Ji Zongming, so I approached him and wanted to chat about cooperation.

These words sound high-sounding, but in fact they were basically planned by Ji Zongming.The proposal was made by him, and the candidate was also provided by him.Most importantly, he only gave such a candidate.

But Huo Chuxiao didn't know that, he easily accepted this rhetoric, and even thought it was reasonable.It's just... Facing Ji Zongming, he was suddenly a little embarrassed to talk about the price.

In this respect, Ji Zongming has a lot of experience.

The two of them only confirmed their cooperation intention that day, and finally Ji Zongming very formally invited him to the company the next day, and they would discuss it in detail, which made Huo Chuxiao a little at a loss.

And the next day, he did follow to AZ.

The company is still the same as when he came last time, but it seems that there are a lot more employees. Xiao Chen, who received him last time, has been promoted and has long since stopped doing this kind of errand work for receiving guests, but I heard that he is here , or very enthusiastic personal reception.

It's just that he didn't expect that the president himself would bring it here this time. Xiao Chen just wanted to go up to say hello, and when he saw the person coming, he was overwhelmed.

"Huo Hua... Ah, hello, boss."

Ji Zongming waved his hand at him, "Isn't the job saturated? What's a supervisor doing standing at the door of the company, looking out for the wind?"

After saying that, he drove them away, and personally took Huo Chuxiao to a meeting room closest to his office.

Xiao Chen looked at the backs of the two of them: "...Damn, show off your affection, right?"

As soon as Huo Chuxiao sat down at the conference table, several employees from AZ immediately filed in and introduced the project to him with a smile. All of them looked young and professional, in their early twenties, with any title. All are managers.

And Ji Zongming didn't leave either, but he didn't speak either. He just sat by the window drinking coffee and watching the scenery.

After chatting for about an hour, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Finally, when it came to pricing, the managers fell silent and looked at Ji Zongming in unison.The boss explained that he had the final say on how much to pay.

Ji Zongming glanced at them, waved his hands at a few people, and those people immediately understood, and after a few polite words with Huo Chuxiao, they all walked out.

Boss Ji just sat across from Huo Chuxiao, his behavior was completely different from what he used to do at home, which made Huo Chuxiao a little stunned.

Usually I don't have a chance to see how Ji Zongming works, but now that I have a closer look, I find that there is still a little... um, surprise.

There was no way he could fit in with the guy who was cooking at home with his apron on.

Ji Zongming first looked through the contract, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Huo Chuxiao.However, the first sentence he opened his mouth was:

"I remember you were saving money to buy a house?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Yes."

"How much is the difference?"

Huo Chuxiao was completely stunned.

Seeing his blank look, Ji Zongming wanted to laugh a little, he was very patient, and asked again slowly: "How much money is there before you can buy the house you want?"

Huo Chuxiao was completely led by his nose, and he said a number in a daze, whether it was high or not, in his estimation, selling one more painting would probably be enough.

Ji Zongming nodded again, and tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking.

Then he quoted a price much higher than that figure.

He even emphasized: "After tax."

Huo Chuxiao realized now, and said in astonishment, "Are you sending me money in disguise?"

Ji Zongming laughed instead, "Do you know why I don't talk to you at home? Because talking there is the real way to give you money. Here," he bent his fingers and tapped the conference table again, "the price is clearly marked The business. The high price is not for you to get it for nothing, I am running the company, not for charity, and the high price is because you have to do a lot of things."

He pointed in the direction of the company's entrance, "Do you still remember the appearance of the AZ reception hall when you entered?"

Huo Chuxiao nodded obediently.

"I want you to draw a whole picture there. Of course, I don't want you to graffiti, but you need to draw the background picture of the official website in the future, which is also part of building the corporate culture. Otherwise, it's too simple to stamp the name now. gone."

After he finished speaking, he sat up straight again and took the time to look at Huo Chuxiao, "Do you still feel that the price I gave is high?"

After discussing the business, Huo Chuxiao signed the contract on the spot.To be honest, he was still in a daze until now, still digesting what happened.It wasn't until he got home in the afternoon that he received a deposit from AZ, and he finally realized it after looking at the string of numbers.

He actually felt like he was being taken care of... But this is clearly a serious business!

But leaving aside the issue of keeping Ornot aside, the money in his hand...not too much, not too little, just enough to buy an apartment in the location he has already dreamed of, the full price.

In fact, I really want to ask Ji Zongming if he did it on purpose.But when he thinks of Ji Zongming's working mode that he saw today, he always feels weird, and he doesn't dare to look directly into those extremely familiar eyes.

He returned home after signing the contract, while Ji Zongming continued to stay in the company to handle official business and did not come back until evening.

Huo Chuxiao didn't stay in the living room this time, he hid in the bedroom.

However, Ji Zongming didn't see him when he came back, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he was chatting there, not knowing what he was doing.

Huo Chuxiao was really curious when he heard the movement on his side, and finally couldn't help but ran out of the bedroom to look.

Only then did I realize that Ji Zongming was actually packing his luggage. When he came over, the entire 24-inch suitcase was already full, and Ji Zongming was still folding the shirts in the closet.

Seeing him pass by, Ji Zongming smiled at him, "Why, haven't you ever seen him leave the house without leaving the house?"

Huo Chuxiao asked in surprise, "Are you going to move out?"

Ji Zongming looked indifferent, and said casually: "Well, I booked a hotel suite near the company. I guess you bought a house, and it will take a while to renovate, so you must still live here. But at that time We should have divorced, and I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable if I live here again, so you might as well move out first."

Huo Chuxiao opened his mouth, and hesitated in a low voice: "...Actually, it doesn't matter if you keep it as it is, I'm used to it anyway..."

"Forget it, it doesn't bother you."

Ji Zongming looked back and found that Huo Chuxiao was still looking at him in confusion, so he smiled and said, "As you can see, my company is running well and is currently making considerable profits, so why don't you stay at home and stay in a hotel?" Extravagance and wasteful behavior can still be done occasionally."
