The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

The agreed time came faster than expected, Huo Chuxiao never felt that seven days a week would make him feel fleeting.

He thinks it's just because he has a new job at hand. He has been learning about Ji Zongming's company for the past few days, and AZ has also given him game resources. , and the soldier who had obviously just experienced a fierce battle, he subconsciously repelled it a little.It's not too ugly, on the contrary, the composition is quite good, and the silhouette of the soldier after the gunpowder looks a bit like Ji Zongming, which is the proportion of his body and limbs that he likes very much.

So maybe it was because he looked too much like Ji Zongming that he resisted in his heart.

After the man moved out, the house has never been as big as it is now. It is [-] square meters larger. Compared with the Huo Zhai he used to live in, it is not even the size of a single floor.But he still felt empty.

It's as if I'm used to living with another person.

On the first day Ji Zongming moved out, he got up early and went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. When he passed by the closed bedroom door, his first reaction was: Ji Zongming stayed in bed?

After he finished eating, he went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, passed by that room, couldn't help knocking on the door, but when no one answered, Huo Chuxiao remembered, ah, this person is no longer behind that door.

It's so weird.

In the week after that, he slowly got used to this kind of solitary life.

For the first time, Huo Chuxiao realized that he was still a little afraid of loneliness. He thought that in the past 20 years, he had already engraved loneliness into his bone marrow.

So habit is a terrible thing.

When Friday came, he took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau alone with his ID, and saw the off-road vehicle at the door from a distance, and it was still majestic in the early morning sunlight.

A man was leaning against the side of the car, smoking a cigarette, and in a posture that was not considered to be a rule, but rather a bit of a ruffian, he stepped on the car body with one foot unceremoniously.

He lowered his head slightly and saw that the laces of his boots were loose, so he stepped on the off-road vehicle and bent over to tie them up.

That action almost completely overlapped with a certain scene in his memory, Huo Chuxiao stared blankly for a moment and forgot to react, until the taxi driver reminded him that he had reached his destination, he hurriedly thanked him and got out of the car.

Ji Zongming has good eyesight, so he noticed Huo Chuxiao from the corner of his eye.He straightened up and waved at the other party. He looked unburdened, and even had an indescribable vitality.

Huo Chuxiao pursed her lips and walked over quickly.

"Waiting for a long time?" Huo Chuxiao noticed that two or three cigarette butts had been extinguished on the trash can next to him, and it seemed that they were all made by Ji Zongming just now.

Ji Zongming was stunned when he heard the words, as if there was a flaw that had been missed in the perfect illusion he was trying to put on, but then he adjusted his expression, pretended to be casual and smiled and said: "No. Go in. I just watched Come on, there is no line inside, we should be able to finish the process soon when we go in."

Huo Chuxiao nodded and did not speak again.He didn't say much during the whole processing process afterwards.

He is very good at being silent, and he feels comfortable in the state of reticence, but this is definitely the silence he is most at a loss for.

As Ji Zongming said, there were not many people in the Civil Affairs Bureau on weekdays, so they quickly completed the formalities and walked out with the divorce certificate.

After walking out, Ji Zongming was no longer as indifferent as before. He frowned slightly, glanced at the small ID, and threw it into the car roughly, then took out a cigarette, and Smoke one.

He smoked half a pack of cigarettes in half an hour. Although he was a smoker, he had never smoked with such a high intensity.Now his throat is a little sore, but Ji Zongming feels that it is impossible not to smoke this one.

He had to find something to do with his mouth.

Huo Chuxiao kept looking at the divorce certificate, flipping it over and over again, which seemed a bit novel.After a while, he raised his head to look at Ji Zongming, and said, "Then... I'm going back."

Before he looked over, Ji Zongming stretched his brows, smiled again, and said half-jokingly: "Why, where else do you want to go, come to the company with me? It's not impossible, my assistant said that you have been playing with our company recently The released game happens to be available on the game consoles in our company’s rest area, with fast Internet access and full snacks, and maybe a colleague from the development department will come over and tell you the quick clearance skills.”

Huo Chuxiao shook his head and refused decisively.

One is that he is really not interested in that game, if he plays it in front of everyone...it will definitely be the scene of social death.

Second, he doesn't know how to get along with Ji Zongming now.

Therefore, Mr. Huo chose to escape shamefully.

it works.

How could Ji Zongming fail to see that he was afraid of avoiding him, so he simply pushed the boat along, said hello and got into the car, looking to leave.

He pushed down the window of the passenger seat, and saw Huo Chuxiao obediently waving goodbye to him.

Ji Zongming's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Huo Chuxiao, without this relationship between us, do you still want to see me?"

Huo Chuxiao was taken aback, he didn't expect Ji Zongming to ask such a straightforward question.But he thought about it seriously for a few seconds, and felt that he didn't hate Ji Zongming, and even in the previous week, he would often think of him...

So he shook his head honestly.

Ji Zongming just smiled at him, this man had never smiled at him like this in the past few months.

With a bright, youthful smile, at this moment Huo Chuxiao suddenly thought that Ji Zongming was still two years younger than him.

"It's a good thing you shook your head. But even if you nodded, I'll tell you, do you think you won't see me after this?"

He leaned on the steering wheel and said loudly: "Don't worry, you and I will meet often in the future."

Then he smartly made a "goodbye" gesture, and then made a forward movement in a military gesture to the front, and the off-road started, and he left in a hurry.

Huo Chuxiao was a little speechless by his series of actions. He squinted his eyes and looked at the back of the cross-country, and said to himself: Is this the president of the game company? It is indeed different from the general type of president.

After resuming being single, life has not changed much, maybe he is too nerdy, now his career is on the right track, and Alisa is slowly retiring. The students in the college are chatting in the comment area, and there are basically no social activities.

This made him think about buying a pet again.

I found time to go to a famous pet shop nearby on a weekend. To Huo Chuxiao's surprise, the shop owner actually knew him and said that he followed his Weibo Yunyun. When he heard that he wanted to buy a pet, the service was unparalleled. He also said Huo Chuxiao is now a celebrity, so he has to do a good job of protecting his privacy, so he specially closed the shop for half a day, serving him alone.

Cats and puppies were kept on the second floor. Huo Chuxiao followed the shopkeeper up the stairs, but just halfway up the stairs, he heard the sound of the baby animals, like birds chirping. Huo Chuxiao felt half-hearted when he heard it.

The shop owner asked him about his living conditions and needs for pets in detail. After comprehensive consideration, he recommended several small dogs with relatively little exercise. After showing him, Huo Chuxiao didn't like it very much.

"Hmm..." Facing the enthusiastic shop owner, Huo Chuxiao said with some embarrassment, "I still like more handsome dogs."

The shopkeeper made a clear expression, "That's a medium to large dog, but the amount of exercise will be more, you see..."

The implication is, can the house move?

Huo Chuxiao thought about it, if he also got up an hour earlier every day for a morning run, it should be fine too?

So he asked, "Is there a Doberman?"

The shop owner smiled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, Dobermans are banned in this city, but German shepherds can be raised, you see? I have a fellow shop that happens to have a race-level German shepherd who just gave birth to a litter of cubs."

Huo Chuxiao was a little disappointed at first, but in the end, thinking that he had nothing to do today, he simply followed the shop owner to have a look.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the same shop, the puppies were running happily in the private yard, and none of them noticed that someone was coming.

Only a three-month-old little German Shepherd, after running past him like a rabbit with big ears, stopped the car and turned to look at Huo Chuxiao.

Huo Chuxiao looked at Xiao Demu's watery eyes, and squatted down, but the puppy really came over and licked his hand.

The shopkeeper who was watching from behind complained to his colleagues in a low voice: "Hey, I want to lick my hands too."

Colleague: "...I don't have the money to see the doctor, so I can borrow it from you first."

The two of them were pushing and talking in the back, but Huo Chuxiao was already playing with the little German Shepherd. He touched the puppy's belly that was exposed to him, and turned around and said with certainty: "This is the only one."

As he spoke, he stood up, and the little German Shepherd sat neatly at his feet, half of his body propped up straight, like a little guard.

For some reason, seeing the pup's serious and handsome appearance, he suddenly felt a bit like Ji Zongming gesturing in an off-road vehicle.

The puppy still had to wait for a while to complete the basic epidemic prevention before going home with Huo Chuxiao, so he simply used this time to solve his housing problem first.

Thanks to the ample time given by Ji Zongming's company, Huo Chuxiao suddenly thought belatedly one day, maybe this was Boss Ji's deliberate action?

After all, after giving such a high deposit, Huo Chuxiao felt that he should visit their company from time to time, and plan how to design the giant painting at the front desk.

However, just as he was about to leave, he accidentally answered a phone call.

The caller ID actually read Qin Huai.

Still at work.

He was very puzzled and pressed the answer button.

Qin Huai went straight to the point: "Chuxiao, are you free now? Are you at home?"

Huo Chuxiao was about to answer, but remembered what Ji Zongming said before, that Qin Huai was interested in him, he subconsciously avoided it, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "What's wrong?"

However, what Qin Huai said was completely unexpected.

"Someone from Jingjie is looking for you, it's... Ji Zongming's mother."

Huo Chuxiao never thought that Ji Zongming's mother would actually find him by name, and what was even more strange was that after his marriage with Ji Zongming had ended.

But he still went to Jingjie studio as soon as possible.

Before he passed the intersection, he saw an exaggerated Rolls-Royce parked at the door of the studio from a distance, and a driver stood respectfully beside the car, waiting for someone.

When he walked over, the driver saw him and bowed, "Mr. Huo."

The battle was so big that he was shocked.

The driver continued: "Ms. Luo is waiting for you on the first floor of the studio."

Huo Chuxiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the door.

Qin Huai was no longer there. Hearing from the front desk, it seemed that there was something wrong. He left in a hurry after talking to him on the phone. Before leaving, he asked the front desk to tell Huo Chuxiao that he could contact him if anything happened.

Huo Chuxiao thought to himself that he came to see Ji Zongming's mother, what could happen?

Although he couldn't imagine what this woman would say to himself.

Luo Xuexuan was sitting in the reception room. When Huo Chuxiao entered, she was drinking the freshly brewed tea gracefully. When she saw someone coming, she didn't pause for a moment. She took a sip, put down the teacup, and then looked at Huo Chuxiao Shi Shiran.

"Mr. Xiao Huo." She still spoke the same as when she met at the wedding, her tone and volume were well controlled, she was wearing a tailor-made cheongsam, and even though she was over fifty, she still couldn't see anything on her face Traces of the years.

Unlike Qi Birong, this woman is not angry at all.

Hearing his name, Huo Chuxiao subconsciously wanted to open the door and leave.

But it was obviously an unrealistic idea, so he could only say: "Ms. Luo."

Luo Xuexuan smiled inexplicably, "Just a few days after you divorced Ji Zongming, did you change your name back?"

Huo Chuxiao didn't understand what her attitude was, so he didn't answer.

Luo Xuexuan seemed to see his resistance, and said: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm actually not interested in knowing how Ji Zongming and you are. Although he is a child of Ji's family, in the final analysis, we are not close. You should also know who his mother is, so whether you have spent your whole life together, or picked a date that no one knows and secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced, I will not interfere. Of course, I guess you are also temporarily I won't believe it. But I'll say it up front, my visit this time has nothing to do with Ji Zongming."

Huo Chuxiao looked at her strangely, and thought, what else can they talk about?

Luo Xuexuan made a "sit down" gesture to him.

"It's a little presumptuous to say it. I thought you were still working in Jingjie, so I came here to find you. Unexpectedly, the boss Qin told me that you had resigned for a while, but he still kindly contacted me. you."

She showed a smile of someone who had come here before, "That Boss Qin... still cares about you." She was worried that a sensitive person like her who would name Huo Chuxiao by name would have ill intentions for him, so she decided to make an appointment with him On his own territory, so as to control the situation in time, this Qin Huai really has a lot of small thoughts.

only……

Luo Xuexuan glanced at Huo Chuxiao, and thought: It's a pity that this great painter can't see it at all.

But Huo Chuxiao's ignorance surprised her a little.

Luo Xuexuan boasted that she had a vicious eye for people, and she could tell that Huo Chuxiao was more innocent than she thought just by meeting her face to face.It's so simple that it doesn't look like a child raised by the Huo family.

When she thought of another child of the Huo family, the outstanding Huo Chuhong, a sneer could not help but appear on her lips.That kid obviously has a much deeper plan. When the Huo family is facing a crisis, he still thinks of dragging the Ji family into the water...

"So what do you want me for?" Huo Chuxiao's straightforward question interrupted her thoughts.

Luo Xuexuan said straightforwardly: "I just want to do business with Painter Huo. Let's say... it was introduced by Mr. Tang. I want to make an appointment with you for a painting. Don't worry, the price will never be lower than the market price. I am a person In business, like a win-win situation.”

Huo Chuxiao said in surprise, "Now?"

"Now."

"Sorry, no."

Luo Xuexuan was taken aback, and frowned slightly dissatisfied, "...do you have anything to avoid?"

"No, it's just because I already have a business on hand." Huo Chuxiao couldn't help but smile as he spoke, "Speaking of which, it's also your Ji family's business."

He talked about the cooperation with Ji Zongming, and saw Luo Xuexuan's frown unfolded, turned into a slightly raised one, and made an interesting and surprised expression.

She didn't seem to have expected that Ji Zongming would talk about business seriously after divorcing him, and she could guess Ji Zongming's little thoughts after simply listening to the job content. My heart is even more playful.

It seems that Ji Zongming... is much more interesting than she thought.

Looking at Huo Chuxiao again, Luo Xuexuan's eyes have changed a bit.

She smiled generously: "In that case, let's talk again when we have a chance."

After leaving each other's contact information, she left.

Huo Chuxiao looked at the new contact in his phone, and felt a little overwhelmed.

What kind of trouble is this one or two going to do business with?Recently transferred?Is it still the Ji family's source of income?

And... I don't know if it's his illusion, but Ji Zongming's stepmother doesn't seem to be as difficult to get along with as he thought before.

In fact, even if Huo Chuxiao didn't have Luo Xuexuan's keen perception, he gradually realized that the job Ji Zongming assigned him was really too leisurely.

The only thing that can be called troublesome is painting on site at the entrance of the company.

But because AZ itself already has many iconic elements, it was not too difficult for him to design. It took more than half a month to submit the plan, and it passed all levels of review very smoothly, so smoothly that he was a little surprised.

Next, you need to go to the company headquarters.

On the day Huo Chuxiao arrived, the entire company was surprisingly calm, there were no idlers watching, let alone whispering, and of course, absolutely no one ran up to ask him to sign for a group photo.

It's completely different from the way he was when he came here a few times before.

When he stood alone at the entrance of the company and prepared to paint, he looked at the passing employees without squinting, and even felt a little weird.

It wasn't until he finally met an acquaintance, grabbed Xiao Zheng and questioned him, that he realized that this was all on Ji Zongming's orders.

"The boss said, you must not come forward to interfere when you are painting, and you must not make you feel uncomfortable in the slightest." Xiao Zheng said and looked around to confirm that no one was around, and then whispered, "Actually, everyone They are all holding back, and the place behind your back is getting crazier than the other. Mr. Huo, our boss really takes care of your feelings."

Huo Chuxiao felt that Xiao Zheng was too close, otherwise his ears wouldn't be reddened by the heat from the words.He couldn't help hiding, and then whispered: "... I can't be disturbed so easily. He's not..."

Xiao Zheng: "It's nothing?"

Huo Chuxiao turned her head and stopped talking.

He wants to say that it's not like they haven't lived together.In the beginning, Ji Zongming didn't get along well with him, so there was no way he could talk about taking care of his emotions. Sometimes this person would watch the football game with the stereo on in the living room when he was concentrating on painting.

Although Ji Zongming hadn't done this for a long time.

Huo Chuxiao shook his head, thinking about work, don't think about it.

However, the person in the mind ran to the reality.

Not long after, Ji Zongming didn't know whether it was the end of the meeting or he really had nothing to do, so he wandered to the door of the company seemingly unintentionally, and came to him.

Because the entire wall is very high, the engineering department also prepared a small ladder for him. Right now, Huo Chuxiao is standing on the ladder, drawing the top part.

He has finished the entire draft and is in the process of coloring.He thought that the amount of the project was huge, and even the paint used was counted by bucket. He had to step down the ladder from time to time to re-dip the brush with paint, which was really laborious.

Ji Zongming saw him come down and do this once, so he stepped forward and asked very naturally, "Do you need help?"

Huo Chuxiao looked up at him, and said awkwardly, "...no need."

However, Ji Zongming gave him a smirk, "You don't need to be a ghost. With your small body, you are so tired that you are wheezing after running up and down twice."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up the paint bucket on the ground, and lifted it to a position within Huo Chuxiao's reach.

Huo Chuxiao pursed her lips before whispering, "Thank you."

But Ji Zongming smiled and said: "If you really want to thank me, just be quicker in your hands and feet. The physical strength of veterans is not unlimited, Huo Da Painter."

Huo Chuxiao stopped talking, smiled secretly, and said nothing.

The two of them began to work with such a clear division of labor.

This time, every employee who passed by here could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. They stared dumbfounded at the cold president who could make the project manager cry, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and beat others hard .

Yu Zhen had just finished a short meeting for his group when he saw Ji Zongming's assistant Alex rushing to him.

"What are you doing, sloppy, an earthquake?"

Alex was not in the mood to joke with him at all, he opened his eyes wide as if confessing some big secret and said to him: "Mr. Yu, our CEO must be crazy!"

Yu Zhen: "?"

Yu Zhen didn't understand until Alex dragged him to the scene of the accident and took a look from a distance.But he was only stunned for a moment, and soon regained his composure.

Xin said that Lao Ji was quite proactive this time, and he just told him to work hard to get out of the order a while ago, and he has already started to practice it.Sending money to others is not enough, this time I even gave away my body.

Yu Zhen laughed and said: "Damn it, what a fuss, have you never seen chasing your wife?"

Alex's eyes were as wide as copper bells, "No, he, they are not..." He subconsciously lowered his voice, "Are you divorced?"

Yu Zhen pulled his shoulders and said to the two people, "Tell me how many people are there?"

"both."

Yu Zhen then gestured for two, and said solemnly: "Two is equal to a second marriage, understand?"

However, Alex just looked at Yu Zhen strangely, and said to himself: Well, the CFO is also crazy now.

Ji Zongming is enjoying the process of helping Huo Chuxiao, and from time to time, he can take the opportunity to touch his little hands without any trace, which is beautiful.

However, a blind person suddenly broke the peace here.

Hearing Yu Zhen call his name in an unpleasant manner.

Boss Ji's eyebrows immediately wrinkled into a pimple, he turned his head and gave Yu Zhen a cold look, and said, "You better have something to do."

Yu Zhen wanted to laugh seeing his fierce look of wanting to bite, but he ignored Ji Zongming and said to Huo Chuxiao who was on the ladder: "Mr. Huo, thank you for your hard work. You have worked hard for our company."

Huo Chuxiao glanced at him, but said nothing.

In fact, he also thought the same way. He cooperated quite well with Ji Zongming just now, and he didn't want others to disturb him.

But Yu Zhen ignored the complaints in the eyes of these two people, and continued: "So... our company will organize a tour in a few days, which can be regarded as a celebration of the success of the game release. Is Mr. Huo interested in coming together?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned.

Huo Chuxiao was very innocent and didn't expect him to mention such a thing.

But Ji Zongming was stunned because——

Fuck, when did Yu Zhen become his wingman?
