"Huh? Did you hear that? What did you hear?"

"I called you three times, the reason why you didn't answer."

The child's voice was faint, and there was no accusation in his tone, as if he was simply stating an objective fact.

After hearing this, Qiao Annian was still very guilty, "I'm really sorry, it's my fault. Didn't I sleep well last night? After the cooperation talk, I got in the car and squinted for a while, and never thought of turning the silent phone on. return."

After explaining, Qiao Annian hurriedly asked, "Where are you now?"

"Your company is downstairs."

"What? My company is downstairs. You are already downstairs in my company? When did you arrive and how long have you been waiting? Are you in my company or outside? I haven't returned to the company yet, you Wait a minute, I should..."

Holding the phone in his hand, Qiao Annian turned his head and looked out the window anxiously.

Fortunately, they were about to arrive at the Science and Technology Park at this moment.

Qiao Annian said to He Nanlou on the other end of the phone: "You wait for me for another 5 minutes, about 5 minutes, and I will be there."

"Ah."

Qiao Annian asked a lot of questions, but the child didn't answer a single question, only responded to his sentence which took about 5 minutes to arrive.

Qiao Annian had no choice but to ask again: "Are you in my company now, or outside?"

Xiaolou doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, so he probably needs to walk, but he doesn't know if he just arrived or if he's been there for a while.

"in."

Qiao Annian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. My car has also driven into the Science and Technology Park. Just wait for me in the lobby on the first floor of ours. Don't come out. I'll go find you later. It's too cold outside in this weather gone."

"Ah."

Qiao Annian ended the call.

There is only so little space in the car, even if the few people in the car didn't intend to listen, they all heard it.

He Xianjun was speechless, and asked with a little curiosity and excitement in his tone: "Boss, are you really a sister-in-law? When did you pay a sister-in-law? We don't know, but you can do a good job of keeping secrets!"

Lin Zhao was in charge of driving, and when he heard the conversation between He Xianjun and his boss, he forgot to happily say: "Congratulations, boss, for leaving the order!"

Qiao Annian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, where did all this come from?

He was joking with He Xianjun and Lin Zhao, "What's the matter? I have to report to you guys when I'm in a relationship?"

He Xianjun also smiled: "We don't mean that, I don't, do you feel happy for the boss?"

Only then did Peng Yuxuan understand that it turned out that Team Leader Qiao didn't have a girlfriend before, and they just talked about it.

But listening to Team Leader Qiao having a good relationship with his girlfriend, he was also very nervous about his girlfriend on the phone just now.

Peng Yuxuan: "Chief Qiao, is your girlfriend also working nearby?"

When Qiao Annian heard this, he realized that everyone had really misunderstood. He explained with a helpless smile: "I was joking with the two of them. It was my brother on the phone just now. Didn't any of you catch it?" , isn’t it a girl’s voice on the phone?”

Everyone else shook their heads, only Wen Zewen said: "I can hear it."

Therefore, he did not misunderstand from the beginning.

Qiao Annian's younger brother was very recognizable in both his voice and tone of voice.

Qiao Annian smiled and said, "Mr. Wen still has good ears."

Wen Ze shook his head, "It has nothing to do with hearing. I'm sitting next to you. If I can't tell whether the voice on the phone is male or female, then there is something wrong with my hearing."

He Xianjun: "Ah? Not your girlfriend? I heard your nervous tone just now, and thought... Boss, you and your brother have a really good relationship."

Peng Yuxuan also looked surprised, "Team leader, you still have a younger brother? Is your younger brother very young?" Listening to the nervous tone of the team leader, she felt that the younger brother should not be very old, otherwise the team leader said

It won't be so tense.

Soon to arrive at Juhui, Qiao Annian could already see the green belt leading to the company's gate. He glanced outside and said distractedly, "She's much younger than me."

Juhui has finally arrived.

Qiao Annian waited patiently for Wen Ze to get out of the car first, then opened the door and got out from the other side of the car.

The first time he got out of the car, Qiao Annian talked to his boss, Wen Ze, and his subordinate, He Xianjun, before stepping into the company.

When Qiao Annian entered the hall, the first thing he did was look at the window.

He knew that children liked places with a wide view.

Sure enough, Qiao Annian didn't make much effort, and saw the child facing him from the window seat.

Qiao Annian strode towards the child.

...

He Nanlou was sitting by the window. When Qiao Annian and Wen Ze got out of the car one after another, he saw the two of them.

Of course, I also saw other people getting off the car.

Qiao Annian walked up to the child, "Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you hungry?"

He Nanlou put away his mobile phone and put it back in his pocket. He stood up from his seat, "It's okay."

"Come on, I'll take you to our cafeteria for dinner."

Qiao Annian put one hand on the child's shoulder, and carried the child to the elevator.

Wen Ze entered the hall with Lin Zhao and the others.

When the group entered the hall, they saw Qiao Annian walking towards the elevator with his arms around the boy.

He Xianjun whispered authentically: "Is he really the brother of the boss? Seriously, if the boss hadn't explained that it was his brother who came to look for him, I really thought that the boss still invited his sister-in-law."

Lin Zhao: "Me too. The boss seems to treasure his brother very much. Think about it, it's rare that the relationship between the boss and his brother's half-brother is still so good."

He Xianjun: "That's right. Not to mention half-father and half-mother, they are real brothers, and the relationship is rarely as good as this."

Wen Ze's eyes showed astonishment.

Is there no blood relationship between An Nian and his younger brother?

Wen Ze heard Peng Yuxuan asking, "Is Team Leader Qiao and his younger brother reorganizing their family?"

He Xianjun has been in the company for the longest time, and he is also the closest to Qiao Annian, and he knows the most about the situation: "It's not considered a family reorganization... The boss's mother and the other party's father have no evidence, but after so many years, the four of them are Under the same roof. Regardless of the relationship between the elders of the two parties, anyway, the boss and the younger brother grew up together, and the relationship is better than that of brothers."

He Xianjun was really worried. The little girl would ask next, why she hadn't argued for so many years. Fortunately, the girl Yuxuan was very smart, so she didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded, "That's it."

...

Qiao Annian got into the elevator with the child, and when he turned around to press the button, he saw Wen Ze and Lin Zhao.

Qiao Annian pressed the button with one hand, and he asked a group of people a few steps away: "Mr. Wen, Xiao He, do you want to come in?"

"Come in, come in!"

Before Wen Ze could speak, He Xianjun, Lin Zhao and Peng Yuxuan had already run over.

When there are too many people, the elevator will be crowded, so Qiao Annian took the child's hand and stood aside.

Just about to let go, the child grabbed his hand backhand.

Qiao Annian looked down at the hands they held, then looked up at the child, and asked with concern, "What's the matter? Are you nervous about taking the elevator?"

Qiao Annian didn't forget that the child had claustrophobia. Although the elevator was bright enough, the space was still relatively small, and the small building might be tense.

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Qiao Annian: "How about we go up the stairs?"

"No. I'll lean on it."

He Nanlou leaned against the railing of the elevator.

The railings of the elevator are so hard, Qiao Annian stood beside the child

Finally, "You rely on me."

He Nanlou leaned half of his body on Qiao Annian.

As soon as He Xianjun, Lin Zhao and the others got into the elevator, they saw two people who were close in appearance, and the group was stunned.

Wen Ze's eyes fell on the hands of the two, and he couldn't help but looked at them in astonishment.

...

"Lin Zhao, press 7 for me."

The child was leaning on him, and Qiao Annian couldn't reach out to press the number keys, so he could only tell Lin Zhao who was standing by the elevator.

Lin Zhao finally recovered from the surprise just now, "Boss, what's wrong with your brother? Is he feeling unwell?"

Qiao Annian didn't mention the fact that the child has claustrophobia, but just made up a reason: "Maybe I'm too hungry, I have low blood pressure, and I'm a little dizzy, so I'll let him lean against me for a while."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

Ever since Peng Yuxuan got into the elevator, she couldn't help but peek at the boy.

Is this the brother of Team Leader Joe?

This is too good looking too.

The key is that it is still very tall, as if it is even taller than Team Leader Joe.

Peng Yuxuan was amazed by the young man's appearance, and the girl said in amazement: "Captain Qiao, your brother is so handsome! He can make his debut directly!"

The corners of Qiao Annian's lips curled up, he turned his face, looked at the child and said, "Miss sister praised you for being handsome? Are you proud?"

He Nanlou: "No."

Qiao Annian doesn't think that the child suddenly has the good quality of "humility". "It's because you have heard a lot of compliments about your beauty since you were a child, right?"

He Nanlou said in a low voice, "Isn't it you who boast the most?"

Qiao Annian looked surprised: "Do I praise you the most? Do I often praise you for being handsome?"

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Qiao Annian deliberately teased him: "No, right? Why do I think, what I say the most is, I praise you for being cute. When did I praise you for being handsome?"

Peng Yuxuan: "..."

What's going on?

How did she hear the meaning of flirting?

...

The seventh floor will arrive soon, and Wen Ze and the others are also going to eat in the staff restaurant on the seventh floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Wen Ze took the initiative to invite Qiao Annian: "You were in a hurry to leave just now, so I didn't bother to tell you, I have a treat at noon, do you want to come together?"

The boss treats guests to dinner. As a subordinate, if Qiao Annian refuses, it would be a bit ignorant of flattery. What's more, the team members are also together, so it's not easy for him to specialize alone.

It's just that he was not alone today, so he was a little hesitant, and asked the child's opinion: "Our President Wen said to treat guests, do you want to come together?"

He Nanlou: "It doesn't matter."

Generally, if children are not happy, they will directly refuse. If it doesn't matter, it really means it literally.

Qiao Annian then agreed to have dinner with everyone.

Wen Ze asked everyone's opinions, "Do you want to eat Chinese food, Western food, or hot pot?"

Although it is a restaurant for employees, Juhui still prepares a lot for employees, in addition to Chinese and Western food, hot pot, and buffet...

Peng Yuxuan: "How about using hot pot? It feels warmer to eat hot pot in winter."

Lin Zhao: "I also vote for hot pot."

He Xianjun: "I can do it."

Wen Ze: "Will eating hot pot take up too much time? I think you are sleepy in the car, Annian. If you eat hot pot, your lunch break may be shortened."

Qiao Annian was very touched, he didn't expect Wen Ze to be so careful.

He smiled, "It's okay, it's rare that everyone is happy today. And I squinted in the car, and I'm not very sleepy now."

Wen Ze nodded, "Then let's eat hot pot."

He Nanlou glanced at Wen Ze.

Wen Ze was also looking at him.

The eyes of the two met, and Wen Ze nodded gently towards He Nanlou.

...

The staff restaurant provides self-service hot pot. You can choose any ingredients you want by yourself.

The group left Peng Yuxuan to occupy a seat, and everyone went to pick up ingredients by themselves.

The ingredients that Peng Yuxuan wanted to eat had already been told to Lin Zhao and the others, just ask Lin Zhao and the others to help them get a portion.

"Boss, what do you want to eat..."

He Xianjun usually had lunch with Qiao Annian, he habitually asked Qiao Annian what he wanted to eat, and saw his boss holding a loading box with food in his hand, turned his head, and asked his brother if he wanted to eat Lamb rolls.

After Qiao Annian finished speaking with the child, he realized that Xiao He seemed to have called him just now, and he turned his head: "Xiao He, were you talking to me just now?"

He Xianjun shook his head: "No. I just want to... see what you have taken, and refer to it."

Qiao Annian then generously handed his food box to He Xianjun for him to see.

Lin Zhao walked over with the ingredients box in his hand, and whispered, "Did you notice? Our boss and his younger brother seem to form a magnetic field of their own, which has the function of automatically shielding us."

He Xianjun: "..."

Who said it wasn't.

Wen Ze looked at the boy with one arm around Qiao Annian's waist, his eyes confused.

Did An Nian and his younger brother lack a sense of boundary?

...

Wen Ze was the first to return to his position.

There were a lot of them, so they chose a round table, and Wen Ze and Peng Yuxuan just sat opposite each other.

He Xianjun and Lin Zhao definitely chose to sit next to team member Peng Yuxuan. Children are picky eaters, and Qiao Annian took a lot of time to choose ingredients than the others, so he and He Nanlou were the last to come back.

When he came back, Qiao Annian let the child take two bottles of drinks by the way.

Although there are other vacancies on the table, it would be impolite to sit next to your team members across Wen Ze, so Qiao Annian sat next to Wen Ze and let the children sit next to him .

Qiao Annian noticed that the soup was already boiling, but no one seemed to want to move chopsticks first.

Qiao Annian then asked everyone to put in the ingredients that were not easy to cook and the ingredients that were more difficult to taste. His suggestion was quickly responded by others, and everyone threw away the ingredients that were not easy to cook first go in.

After that, I started to put in mutton, pork belly beef, and lettuce, which are easier to cook.

Wen Ze opened the drink. He didn't lead the shelf at all. He took the empty glass on the table and poured drinks for everyone.

Lin Zhao and the others didn't have the nerve to let the big leader do it, and quickly took the drink.

"Mr. Wen, I'll come, I'll come."

He Xianjun took the drinks and filled everyone's glasses.

Wen Ze stood up, raised his glass, and said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard during this time. It's a very safe year. During this time, I tested the program and patched the loopholes. It is really hard work to prepare the speech of the plan."

Qiao Annian also quickly picked up a drink from the table, and said with a smile, "I dare not, I dare not. Everyone is the same, you have worked hard."

The two leaders stood up, and the others also stood up quickly, and everyone clinked glasses.

After sitting down, we chatted about the project in a logical manner.

Qiao Annian participated in the chat for a few words at the beginning, but after everyone ate, they couldn't care less about chatting.

Qiao Annian scooped up a few slices of mutton rolls that he put down to be hot, and put them in the children's bowl: "Baby, what time do you get off work at noon?"

He Nanlou: "11:30."

"Hey, be careful, it's hot."

After reminding the children not to be scalded by the mutton roll, Qiao Annian continued: "Then I am the same as our company. I just don't

Coincidentally, in normal times, I would definitely be in the company at this point. "

"Ah."

Qiao Annian pocketed two more prawns: "Then you walked here alone?"

He Nanlou put the mutton roll to his mouth and let it cool, "It flew over"

Joannian: "..."

"Before you come over next time, give me a call. If the call doesn't get through, don't come here. I'll answer it later..."

The cold mutton roll was handed to his mouth.

Joannian blinked, "For me?"

He Nanlou put the chopsticks to his own mouth, "I showed you."

Qiao Annian moved his face closer, bit off the mutton off the child's chopsticks, and said in a proud tone, "You want to take back what's on my lips?"

Chew, chew, and eat.

"Oh! It's delicious. This mutton roll is delicious."

He Nanlou took another slice and handed it to his mouth.

Qiao Annian opened his mouth and bit it, eyes confused: "Aren't you going to eat?"

He remembered that Xiaolou used to like eating mutton rolls.

"There's more in the bowl."

Qiao Annian glanced at the child's bowl, and there was only one pitiful piece left, so he put a few more pieces down to rinse.

...

"This project can be negotiated so smoothly, thanks to An Nian. Come on, An Nian, I'll toast you."

"Boss really did a great job this time. Boss, I also offer you a toast."

"Boss, I also offer you a toast!"

"Captain Joe."

Hey?

Why is the topic still on this project?

Everyone had already raised their glasses, and Qiao Annian quickly picked up his own, only to find that he had run out of drinks in his glass.

"Is there no drink? I have..."

Just as Wen Ze handed over the drink in his hand, Qiao Annian took half a glass of drink from He Nanlou, "Thank you too, Mr. Wen, everyone has worked hard too."

Qiao Annian looked up and finished the half glass of drink.

After Qiao Annian put down the cup, he took a tissue from the child to wipe his mouth.

He Nanlou: "It wasn't wiped clean."

"Huh? Where?"

He Nanlou took another tissue and wiped the corners of Qiao Annian's mouth.

"I often hear Annian mention that Xiaolou, you are also proficient in AI, right? Do you plan to work in the field of AI in the future?"

He Nanlou raised his head and looked at Wen Ze who was asking the question. The latter's eyes were as gentle as ever.

Lin Zhao: "Yes, yes. I also often hear from our boss that Xiaolou is proficient in AI, and often praises Xiaolou as a genius. You have graduated from abroad, Xiaolou, right?"

He Xianjun and Peng Yuxuan also looked at He Nanlou curiously.

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Lin Zhao: "..."

The eldest brother's younger brother has a lot of words.

Qiao Annian still doesn't know what kind of character the child is?

Not a master who answers all questions.

Being able to reply with "um" this time is already giving him a lot of face.

Qiao An replied: "Yes, Xiaolou plans to stay in China in the future and do AI-related work. In fact, he is currently working in MT as a technical consultant."

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback.

He Xianjun had already handed the beef balls to his mouth, and he put the beef balls back into the bowl, and put down his chopsticks, "MT's technical consultant? My God, as far as I know, MT's technical consultant is here A position with extremely high requirements, many doctoral students have been dismissed. Brother, wow!!"

Lin Zhao gave a thumbs up: "I can only say one thing, boss, Rui Sibai!"

Peng Yuxuan was also caught by SHOCK, "This is the world

Is there a difference in boundaries? "

Wen Ze had heard about Qiao Annian's evaluation of his younger brother, but he only found out today that Qiao Annian's compliment to He Nanlou did not have any filters.

At a young age, he can become a technical consultant of MT. Looking at this AI industry, few people can do it.

If it is said that there is no half jealousy, it must be impossible.It's just that Wen Ze also understands very well that there are indeed differences between people in terms of intelligence or talent.

Wen Ze also offered He Nanlou a cup: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth. I respect you, Xiaolou, and hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

He drank the child's drink just now, and the cups on the table were empty like him, so he took the drink on the table and poured half a glass for the child.

He Nanlou picked up the drink: "Yes."

...

Wen Ze went to check out and swiped his meal card.

Out of politeness, Qiao Annian, Lin Zhao and the others did not leave first, but waited outside the restaurant for Wen Ze to settle the bill.

Wen Ze finished paying and came out, and everyone took the elevator downstairs.

Qiao Annian said to everyone: "I'm full from lunch, and I'm going to take the stairs to digest my food, so we won't take the elevator. Mr. Wen, Xiao He, you can take the elevator down first."

Wen Ze glanced at Qiao Annian and He Nanlou, nodded, and took the elevator down with Lin Zhao and He Xianjun.

Qiao Annian walked towards the stairs with the child, "What time do you go to work in the afternoon? If you're not in a hurry, I'll show you around our company?"

He Nanlou looked at him: "Aren't you sleepy?"

Qiao Annian's eyes showed confusion, and he touched his face unconsciously: "Huh? Do I look sluggish?"

He Nanlou: "Didn't you get sleepy in the car?"

The two walked to the stairs.

Qiao Annian pushed open the escape door, and said with a smile: "So you noticed what Mr. Wen said? It's okay, didn't I say that at that time, I squinted in the car for a while, now It's really okay, not sleepy."

The escape door closes automatically.

He Nanlou stopped and stared at Qiao Annian with deep eyes: "Wen Ze cares about you very much."
