After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

man, boyfriend?

Liu Wenjing was taken aback.

He Gu, are you gay?

MT's company culture is very open, and the company does not prohibit office romances.

There are also a few couples of gay people who are out of the closet in the company. You can't tell it at a glance. Anyway, more or less, you will notice it through observation.

But He Gu...

Liu Wenjing tried to recall the scene where the technical tycoon accompanied the president to their R&D department several times, but she didn't find that he had any interest in the same sex at all.

In memory, He Gu was very cold towards everyone.

There are few words, but as long as you ask a question, it is basically a nightmare for other colleagues, because you can't answer it at all.

After finally getting the answer, I will only fall into a deeper nightmare, because that means working overtime to make programs and take tests.

He doesn't know how to curse, but just a cold glance is enough to make people suffer.

Every time a technical seminar is held, as long as He Gu speaks, the president will not make a sound.

After the meeting, or the inspection, that person never stayed, and he was never seen getting close to anyone of the same sex.

Although people have boyfriends, keeping a distance from other people of the same sex is a very normal thing, but how should I put it...

As far as her memory is concerned, He Gu didn't keep a distance, he didn't look like he was interested in the same sex.

Liu Wenjing asked curiously: "Then have you... met his boyfriend? He Gu has such a good appearance, so the boyfriend he found is also very handsome?"

Qiao Annian took a sip of the coffee, but his mouth was still a little hot.

Holding the coffee cup in his hand, he blew on the cold coffee, "Forget it, anyway, people around me say they match well."

"If, compared with you??"

"On par."

Liu Wenjing looked at the face of this new boss who was not inferior to any popular actor nowadays, and exclaimed: "Then He Gu's boyfriend is really good-looking."

Qiao Annian tried not to raise the corners of his lips too much, he took a sip of coffee, "Well, I think so too."

After Liu Wenjing went out, Qiao Annian finished his coffee in the tea room alone.

He was already a little hot, but now he was even hotter.

Qiao Annian went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he wiped his face with a tissue, he pulled down the high collar a little bit. The part of his neck was covered with mottled and fine hickey marks, and his fair skin could hardly see any good marks.

There are traces like this all over his body.

Yesterday Xiaolou used kisses to get familiar with almost every inch of his body.

Qiao Annian's eyes showed helplessness, and he suspected that the child was not kissing, but marking...

...

Joannian's turtleneck sweater was worn from late February to the beginning of the month.

His skin is too white, and the red marks can stay for a long time.

However, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that every time it gets a little lighter, there are always new traces covering it.

Because he always wears a high collar, his neck is covered with prickly heat.

Qiao Annian never mentioned it to the children.

But suddenly one day when he looked in the mirror, Qiao Annian found that the hickey marks on his neck had gradually faded away, and were no longer covered by new hickey marks.

When the Magnolia in the Science and Technology Park was in full bloom, Qiao Annian finally changed into his shirt and suit.

MT has no special requirements for dress, but sometimes it is necessary to meet manufacturers or customers, so Qiao Annian habitually wears formal clothes to work.

The members of the R&D team were used to Team Leader Qiao wearing different styles of turtleneck sweaters to work every day, and suddenly they saw Qiao Annian appearing in the company in a white shirt and suit, and they were all amazed.

"Annian? Is this a special day for you?"

"You're dressed a little handsomely today."

"Do you know what people in other departments said? They said that An Nian raised the appearance of our department by himself."

"Isn't that good? If anyone says that our R&D department doesn't have handsome guys, I'll be in a hurry with him!"

Qiao Annian went to the conference room with the team members to hold a departmental meeting. When the leaders of the other groups saw Qiao Annian in a white shirt, they joked with each other.

Qiao Annian was surrounded by the team members and praised him in the morning, and he still couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the jokes among the other team leaders.

I don't know who yelled "He Guhao" first. The members of the R&D department who were about to enter the meeting room, who were joking and laughing, turned their heads one by one. The scene was quite funny for a while.

Of course, Qiao Annian may be the only one who thinks it's funny.

After all, for the people in the R&D department, this technical boss is definitely a big mountain on them. As long as the plan they submit is rejected by He Gu, don't expect the president to pass it.

Qiao Annian didn't know that He Nanlou would be attending today's departmental meeting, so he was pleasantly surprised when he saw the child.

Even if they just met each other in the morning.

Qiao Annian also called out to other staff in the department, and said hello with a smile: "Hey Gu."

He Nanlou took a look at him, and his gaze stayed on his neck for a short time. Before the others noticed, he nodded slightly to everyone and took the lead into the conference room.

...

Although Qiao Annian has been working as an MT for almost half a month, due to He Nanlou's high level, the two have not had much contact with each other in business matters.

This was the first time that Qiao Annian saw He Nanlou working from the perspective of his subordinates.

Qiao Annian was originally worried that the children were too young to suppress this group of people.

But in fact, his worries were completely unnecessary.

After everyone entered the meeting room, they immediately entered the meeting state.

Qiao Annian only found out during the meeting that Xiaolou, the chief technical consultant, was the project leader of MT's first foray into the AI ​​medical field - the AI ​​medical companion robot.

"I have read all the project proposals about AI medical companion robots submitted by each group."

Qiao Annian noticed that the manager of the R&D department and the deputy manager clasped their hands on the table, showing a nervous expression unconsciously, not to mention the other team leaders and team members.

Affected by the atmosphere, Qiao Annian straightened up unconsciously, like a student waiting for the teacher to correct his homework.

At this time, Qiao Annian was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter——

He Nanlou gave a look, and his secretary played the plans of each group on the projector.

Every time a group of project plans is played, the person in charge of each group is responsible for demonstration and explanation. During the period, they have to answer questions about user goals, user experience, project budget, project time, modeling and construction, programming, algorithms, and later program upgrades, etc. Questions etc.

This requires the project leader to be clear about the content of his plan.

Several team leaders were questioned because the support target group was not clear enough, the project budget was not specific enough, and the team's planning was too simple for later upgrades and services.

In short, almost every group of programs has one or another problem.

Qiao Annian was airborne, so he was arranged to give the commentary at the end.

Qiao Annian's work experience in Juhui and because he is a golden finger who wears books has helped Qiao Annian a lot.

His design plan, from the very beginning, has a very clear target group, targeting the elderly who are over 60 years old and do not live with their children, as well as the deaf-mute and other disabled groups.

It is impossible to write in detail how to complete a companion AI medical robot in the book. At this time, his work experience in Juhui will come in handy.

He is in Juhui, mainly responsible for visual diagrams and testing bugs.

Even so, when the other team leaders were explaining, Qiao Annian also realized the shortcomings of his project.

For example, the project budget is greatly overrun.

His target group is the elderly living alone or the disabled, which also means that the final price of the finished product should not be set too high.

But his budget is already compressed...

Without any surprise, Qiao Annian was asked about the conflict between the project budget and the target group, and how he planned to solve this problem.

Visual modeling and programming algorithms are Qiao Annian's specialty, but the funds required for each link are indeed not what he is good at. He has never followed the whole process from plan, concept map to falling object detection.

This also reflects his lack of previous work experience and his shortcomings in the workplace, that is, the lack of an overall concept.

In a small company like Juhui, of course he can only be responsible for the work content he is responsible for, but in MT it may not be enough.

MT obviously pays more attention to the all-round development of employees.

When he was finally able to sit down, Qiao Annian more or less realized what it was like to feel "like an enemy" before the meeting.

Almost every group's proposals were called back and required to be revised and resubmitted.

...

"Captain Joe, come to my office."

After the meeting ended, He Nanlou looked at Qiao Annian and said something.

"Oh, okay."

Qiao Annian tidied up the documents on the table, and raised her head in response when she heard the words.

Inadvertently, he bumped into the sympathetic gazes that other people cast on him.

Joannian: "..."

The group leader sitting next to him during the meeting said in a low voice, "At first, we thought that He Gu would treat you differently, but we didn't expect..."

"Sure enough, if you can become a boss, you are all ruthless characters who are not as good as your six relatives."

The leader of the five groups answered the sentence tacitly.

The Internet has memories.

In the MT company, there is always someone who is a surfer.

After He Nanlou and Qiao Annian appeared at the restaurant for dinner that day, someone gradually picked up the relationship between the two who almost became a family.

Originally, the people in the R&D department thought that with the team leader here, they would congratulate Gu Gu with a "spring breeze and light rain" this time, okay, people are completely business-like.

Sure enough, the words on the Internet are not credible.

What are the rumors that Qiao Zu and He Gu have been brothers since they were young, and they are both the public relations of the He family?

The leader of the sixth team clenched his fist and cheered Qiao Annian up: "Leader Qiao, good luck."

Joannian laughed.

Is the small building so scary?

Ok.

If you just look at the performance at the meeting, it is indeed a bit.

"Okay, thank you."

Qiao Annian thanked the team leader and left the meeting room.He Nanlou was waiting for him at the door of the conference room. Next to him stood the secretary Liang Chenchen.

Seeing him coming, the little girl nodded friendly to him.

Qiao Annian also smiled back.

Take the elevator together.

...

"Come in with two cups of coffee."

Before entering the office, He Nanlou told the secretary Liang Chenchen who was following behind him:

"No, I had my coffee this morning."

The boss's request was inconsistent with the customer's, so Liang Chenchen could only look at the boss He Nanlou inquiringly.

He Nanlou: "Just make a cup of coffee."

"Ok."

After a while, there was a knock on the office door, and Liang Chenchen came in with a cup of hand-ground coffee.

The aroma of coffee hooked Qiao Annian.

Qiao Annian stared at the coffee in the porcelain cup, feeling a little regretful, even if he had already had coffee in the morning, he could definitely have another cup.

Liang Chenchen went out with an empty tray in his hand, He Nanlou lowered the shutters of the office, closed the door and locked it behind him.

He Nanlou sat down on the main sofa: "If you want to drink, drink it."

Qiao Annian shook his head. In the world of work, it's better to distinguish between public and private.

"No, He Gu, you asked me to come to your office, what's the matter? Is there any other problem with my plan?"

He Nanlou: "Have you thought about how to solve the problem that the budget is inconsistent with the target user group?"

Qiao Annian shook his head, "When I was working on the plan, I tried to compress the cost budget as much as possible..."

"Do you know what the biggest problem with your plan is?"

Qiao Annian sat up straight unconsciously, "Speak."

"It's too idealistic. Rather than designing an AI companion robot, your starting point is to try to solve the dilemma of your target group as much as possible. But don't forget that no matter what your original intention is, you They are all just designing a product. Since it is a product, profit should be placed at the top of the list.”

Qiao Annian was not a fledgling college student.

He didn't feel that Xiaolou was only looking for profit. On the contrary, he knew very well that Xiaolou's product positioning was correct.

"You mean, I shouldn't think about how to reduce the budget cost, but adjust my target group? The positioning can still be the elderly over 60, but the specific target group is those wealthy people who live alone or those with affluent families. In this way, not only do you not need to reduce the budget, on the contrary, because the target group is rich enough, you can do it freely.

When the product comes out, although it can only benefit some rich and wealthy families, it also means that if the product is mature, production can be expanded, and the technology will be much more mature at that time.As long as the original products are upgraded and updated, the production cost can be further reduced, and more and more groups will benefit naturally..."

Qiao Annian's mind was completely opened.

He had to admit that on many issues, Xiaolou was indeed more farsighted than him.

This kind of foresight cannot be possessed by his years of social animal experience or his golden finger of wearing books.It is more like a talent, a kind of talent that Xiaolou was born with, or it is the subtle influence brought about by his background.

He Nanlou patted the sofa beside him, "Sit here."

Qiao Annian thought that He Nanlou would continue to discuss the plan with him further, so he sat down cooperatively.

He Nanlou picked up the coffee in his hand.

Qiao Annian waited patiently, waiting for the child to finish his coffee.

When his chin was raised, Qiao Annian couldn't react for a while.

Until, the aroma of coffee reached his mouth.

Qiao Annian swallowed subconsciously, and some of the coffee dripped from the corner of his lips and from his chin.

With his index finger, He Nanlou wiped away the coffee that had slipped from Qiao Annian's chin to his neck. He fixed his eyes on the latter, and licked the coffee stains from his fingertips with the tip of his tongue.

Joannian's throat tightened for a while.

He stood up from the sofa, "If there is nothing else, then I will..."

With his arms pulled, He Nanlou exerted a little force, wrapped his arms around Qiao Annian's waist, sat on his lap with his arms around him, bowed his head and kissed him domineeringly.

The person in his arms has the same coffee aroma as him.

The tip of He Nanlou's tongue wrapped around Qiao Annian's lips. He liked the way this man was stained with his own breath, and he liked the way he closed his eyes and exposed his most fragile neck in front of him.

He Nanlou reached out to unbutton Qiao Annian's shirt.

Qiao Annian suddenly woke up.

He clasped the child's wrist and controlled the volume: "He Xiaolou!"

He Nanlou rolled his eyelids, "Stop calling He Gu?"

Joannian: "..."

Hearing the sarcasm in the child's words, Qiao An reacted belatedly after a while. It is very likely that he misunderstood just now, and Xiaolou probably didn't mean what he thought.

Joannian let go of his hand.

He Nanlou continued to unbutton Qiao Annian's shirt.

Unlocking the fourth one, he stopped, and saw Qiao Annian's fair neck covered with a faint layer of white powder, with small red particles faintly visible.

Guessing that the child should be looking at the prickly heat on his neck, Qiao Annian said with a smile, "Don't look, this thing won't get better soon. It will take at least five or six days, seven or eight days."

He Nanlou: "Is it itchy?"

Qiao Nannian smiled.

This question was asked by the child on the first day he found out that Joannian had prickly heat.

He remembered that he answered at that time.

"It doesn't itch. It's just that if the buttons are buttoned all the way, the fabric will rub against it, which makes it a bit uncomfortable, but it doesn't affect anything else."

He Nanlou: "I'm sorry."

Joannian's eyes revealed surprise, "Well done, what are you apologizing for?"

"The hickey before, I did it on purpose."

Deliberately leave marks on his neck, marking his mark.

Qiao Annian smiled: "I know."

He Nanlou rested his chin on Qiao Annian's shoulder, "I've tried my best to control it."

Joannian gently touched the child's head on his shoulder, "I know."

He knows, he knows.

Knowing the hickey before, Xiaolou did it on purpose, and also knowing that the hickey behind gradually disappeared because Xiaolou saw the prickly heat on his neck.

There is a kind of crazy paranoia in Xiaolou's character, which makes him unable to control his emotions well.

Wanting to leave traces and marks on his body is an exclusive signal.

Qiao Annian kissed the child's ear, "Look, you didn't lose control, on the contrary, you controlled yourself very well. This is enough to prove that you are not a lunatic, isn't it? Take your time, Bao, Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

He Nanlou turned his face, his fingertips lightly touched the white collarbone that was close at hand, "It's so beautiful."

Joannian: "...don't."

Objection is a step too late.

The collarbone is stamped.

Qiao Annian closed her eyes, raised her neck, and lightly touched He Nanlou's ear with her fingertips, "gentle, light."

Qiao Annian sighed inwardly, thinking distractedly, this summer, don't you even need to think about V-neck T-shirts?

...

Qiao Annian returned to the R&D department.

Assistant Liu Wenjing came over to deliver documents to him, "Qiao Zu, your shirt..."

Qiao Annian was slightly stiff. With the meeting materials in his hand, he sat down slowly at the workstation, and asked calmly, "What's wrong with my shirt?"

Liu Wenjing's tone was confused, "No... why do I feel that your shirt doesn't fit as well as before?"

Joannian: "Huh?"

Liu Wenjing read it again, "I suddenly felt that it fits well again. It might have been an illusion just now. Here, Team Leader Qiao, this is the information you asked me to find for you."

Qiao Annian took it and flipped through a few pages. It was indeed the information he needed at this stage, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Wenjing didn't leave right away, she asked with concern: "Captain Qiao, He Gu didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

The main reason is that Team Leader Qiao has been there for a long time, and Liu Wenjing and other team members are somewhat worried.

Embarrassed.

In broad daylight, during office hours, the blinds were pulled down, and the office door was locked. It's simply... a perfect interpretation of not doing business properly.

In the future, we still have to make an agreement with Xiaolou.

After all, MT pays them wages, not for them to fall in love during working hours.

Although Xiaolou said that he has shares in MT, it should be only a minority shareholder, not the chairman.

Doing intimate things in the office is still too much.

Qiao Annian shook his head: "No."

"That's good."

Liu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Annian asked curiously: "Why are you all so afraid of Xiaolou? Xiaolou should just be a little less talkative, so it shouldn't be difficult to get along with?"

"Is it not difficult to get along with? Is that not difficult to get along with? It is simply impossible to believe..."

Liu Wenjing suddenly remembered that according to her sister's internet archaeology, Team Leader Qiao and He Gu seemed to have grown up together, and the relationship between the two seems to be quite good in private...

Qiao Annian blinked, still waiting for the assistant to continue, he asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

The other team members heard it, and said with a smile: "Haha. Wen Jing means that He Gu can't get along at all, right? He Gu's aura is too strong and too cold. And basically, except for work matters, He doesn't talk to anyone at all. He's a bit indifferent to the president."

A team member interjected: "Hey, geniuses always enjoy some privileges. I think He Gu is cool. Look at him, he doesn't care about the workplace at all, he does his own way, and his professional skills are excellent. gone."

Qiao Annian is young, younger than many team members, and he has no airs. Therefore, in less than a month, he has won the love of the team members and even other members of the R&D department just like when he was in Juhui. .

Liu Wenjing didn't care what the other team members said, clasped her hands together, and asked, "Chief Qiao, you won't tell He Gu, will you?"

Qiao Annian smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, don't say anything."

Qiao Annian's cell phone rang in his pocket.

He took out his mobile phone and found that He Nanlou had sent him a message.

Joannian's eyes showed confusion.

He just came out of Xiaolou's office not long ago, could it be that he left something in Xiaolou's office?

Seeing that Qiao Annian had a message to reply, Liu Wenjing said, "Captain Qiao, it's nothing else, I'll go back to my work station first."

"Oh, good."

Qiao Annian clicked on WeChat——

Come to my office on lunch break?

Qiao Annian now sometimes eats lunch with the team members.

To fall in love, you don't have to be tired of being together all the time, you also need to have your own circle of friends and work.

What's more, eating together is an effective way to quickly reach an agreement with colleagues.

He Nanlou naturally criticized Qiao Annian's choice to have lunch with his colleagues, but he never interfered.

I also know that when Xiaolou asked if he wanted to go to his office for a lunch break, it was definitely not just to let him take a comfortable nap.

Joannian: "Do you have a lot of shirts in the office?"

His shirt in the morning was dripping with coffee stains and... not too wrinkled, so he had to change to the shirt that Xiaolou prepared in the office.

This time, the reply was a voice.Joannian's eyes showed confusion. He took his wireless Bluetooth headsets from the drawer, put on one of them, and turned on the voice——

"Well. You can wear one piece and tear the other up."
