Short story department

When the green light came on, Gu Qingren stepped on the gas pedal, and took a few more glances at Lu Yuze by the way: "Where did you learn all this? School, or your parents?"

"I'm an orphan." Lu Yuze replied as if casually, and didn't feel any discomfort because of his life experience.Just stating a fact.

Gu Qingren was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't want to talk about anything else?"

"What else?"

Gu Qingren shrugged and said: "For example: what have you experienced, what do you want, and what are your plans for the future. If you want to talk, I am very willing to listen."

"I don't want to say anything." Lu Yuze gave Gu Qingren a disgusted look.

Perhaps it was because he was too curious about Lu Yuze and always wanted to find out more about this person.It was only after the slightly disgusted eyes turned white that he realized his mistake.

"Sorry, don't be angry, I..." I joked.As soon as the words came to his lips, Gu Qingren felt that it seemed even more awkward to joke about this kind of thing.It seems that no matter how you explain it, it is wrong.I smiled wryly in my heart: I'm really reckless.

Although Gu Qingren blamed himself a little, Lu Yuze didn't seem to take it to heart.Looking at the scenery outside the car, as if nothing happened.The subtle embarrassment grew stronger in the silence, Gu Qingren felt very uncomfortable, so he turned on the stereo and played soothing music.

After driving for about [-] minutes, Gu Qingren drove to a very ordinary residential area.His apartment is on the second floor, a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. It is very small and clean.

Lu Yuze stood in the living room looking around, Gu Qingren changed his work clothes, poured two glasses of water and came back.It seems that they are going to talk about it in detail.

Lu Yuze did not move the water glass in front of him, and sat firmly on the sofa, waiting for Gu Qingren to speak.

Gu Qingren pinched the center of his eyebrows, sighed with an emotional pressure in his nose, and said: "The cause of all this is actually the beginning of this year."

If Lu Yuze knew Gu Qingren well, he would know that this person did not go to college. He set up a street stall in his teens and suffered a lot. It can be said that he started from scratch.Around the time he was 19 or 20, he took out a huge loan to start a business.After a lot of hard work, countless stumbles, and countless losses, he finally built his own restaurant chain empire.It can be said that this is all he has.

At the beginning of this year, the world's largest catering joint group prepared to cooperate with him.In fact, cooperation is just rhetoric on face, the real meaning is annexation.

Gu Qingren said: "I did want to enter the international market, but it has been impossible in recent years. First, my strength is not enough; second, I have not received systematic learning. If I just go out like this, I will fail completely. Therefore, I don't want to Agree to be acquired. However, half of the board of directors are happy to be acquired by the other party. Maybe you don’t understand, although I am the chairman, but the majority of the board of directors agree, my decision will also be vetoed. There is a rule in the group , When a large-scale investment or planning decision is made, if the chairman does not appear within seven days, the board of directors has the right to make decisions on behalf of the chairman and remove the chairman as appropriate.”

Hearing this, Lu Yuze frowned and asked, "I've never heard of such a rule."

Gu Qingren smiled wryly.

Seeing his wry smile, Lu Yuze understood that this rule was not made by Gu Qingren.Then, the following things can be imagined.Those directors who agreed to be acquired used this rule to plot a plan to kidnap the chairman.As long as Gu Qingren doesn't show up within seven days, it will be a breeze for the international catering group to acquire them.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuze suddenly felt that something was wrong, some detail was distorted.But what it was, he couldn't figure it out.

"Chen Dong has always supported me." Gu Qingren said: "So, I can trust you." When it comes to trust, Gu Qingren can't help but ask: "How do you know Chen Dong?"

Lu Yuze thought for a while, "Two years ago, his daughter stole a very important thing from home and ran away. Grandpa Chen didn't want to call the police, so he asked a private detective for help. At that time, I was working as an assistant in a detective. If you have other things to do, let me be responsible for finding Grandpa Chen's daughter."

The incident had a happy ending. After that, Chairman Chen had a deep impression on Lu Yuze.

Gu Qingren smiled appreciatively at Lu Yuze, and said, "It seems that he has a good eye. So, how much will you be hired this time?" He said.He got up and walked to the desk, took out the checkbook from the drawer, "One hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand? Or, you can fill it out yourself."

While talking, Gu Qingren turned around with the signed checkbook and walked up to Lu Yuze, "Fill in more, I'm going to hire you."

snap!The slap was solid on Gu Qingren's cheek, and the left side of his cheek flushed as was visible to the naked eye.Gu Qingren's shocked expression was fleeting, replaced by calm sullenness.

Jean frowned tightly, staring at Lu Yuze who was also furious in front of him, "You better have a valid reason."

Lu Yuze looked calm, as if nothing had happened.He looked at Gu Qingren who was much taller than him, and said coldly: "I wanted to give you this slap as early as April [-], [-]!"

Gu Qingren was in a daze for a moment, remembering the day Lu Yuze mentioned - the city's court publicly tried a criminal case, and he was the most important witness.

"Because of your testimony, the suspect was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison. That day, I sat at the back of the auditorium and looked at you. I will never forget your back!"

Do you think I started looking for your whereabouts to help Mr. Chen?

You think I know who you are just by seeing your botched work, like holding a golf club?No, what I saw was your back, the back that I will never forget!

Gu Qingren recalled that year and that day in shock.Suddenly he realized that the suspect at that time was named "Lu Yuhong" and the big boy in front of him was named "Lu Yuze." He subconsciously asked, "Are you his brother?"

Lu Yuze took a deep breath, trembling uncontrollably, "If someone else was kidnapped, I would not agree to Grandpa Chen's help. But you!" Lu Yuze suddenly pointed at Gu Qingren's nose, "I want to see See what kind of person you are!

Gu Qingren, my brother was sentenced to seven years in prison because of you.I do not believe!Whether it's premeditated murder or manslaughter, my brother can't do it. "

Lu Yuze's accusations and hostility were clearly in front of his eyes.Gu Qingren looked at him puzzled, "I didn't lie, I just told the facts I saw. I have no obligation to accept your moral judgment. If you are not willing, you can appeal."

Lu Yuze glared, "You pretend I didn't! But they said..."

"Forget it." Gu Qingren waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Lu Yuze's words, "That's it! We don't need to talk anymore, you can go."

Facing Gu Qingren's eviction order, Lu Yuze looked at him quietly.Anger, grief, gushing out from the eyes.The idea of ​​violence that rapidly swelled in his heart made him wish he could beat up the arrogant man in front of him.He tried to restrain himself.As early as the moment he was rejected the appeal and was ridiculed, Lu Yuze understood.Impulsivity won't help, anger will only make things worse.

Tears, I don't know when they flowed down.Lu Yuze wiped his face, and said coldly: "I will find evidence to reverse the case. You also have to live well and wait for me to overthrow your testimony."

It doesn't matter if you deliberately framed my only relative, or for other reasons.I swear, I will make you bow your head and admit your mistake!

Lu Yuze left, simply and simply.Gu Qingren was left alone at home pacing uneasily.

Gu Qingren couldn't figure it out, but Lu Yuze endured it all the time, and went home from the moment he saw him.On the way, when he mentioned his life experience, he didn't get angry, why did he take out the check and suddenly slap him across the face?Back then, besides testifying, did I do other things related to money?

Thinking about it, Gu Qingren slapped himself on the forehead violently!

Yes, at that time, I knew that the suspect was an orphan and lived with his younger brother.He went to jail, and his younger brother, who was still in high school, lost his financial resources.After Gu Qingren heard about the situation, he specially asked the secretary to send some money to the suspect's brother.In fact, he just wants to sponsor one student. After all, there are more than 20 students who have received his sponsorship, and this one is not bad.However, the secretary came back with the check, saying that the other party would not accept it.

No wonder, he saw such a big reaction to the check.

Damn it!What went wrong?Gu Qingren sat on the sofa distraught, his mind was full of Lu Yuze's tearful face.

Leaving Gu Qingren's apartment, Lu Yuze was at a loss as to where he was going.He stood on the side of the road for a long time, until a nearby elementary school was over, and the laughter of the children disturbed his thoughts, and he realized that it was time to go back.

The green light finally turned on, and pedestrians on both sides of the road hurried towards the opposite side.A woman who looked like a teacher greeted a dozen children, holding hands, followed the teacher, and paid attention to safety.

The children's chirping and frolicking made Lu Yuze even more headache, as if he was afraid of something, he deliberately kept away from the children.

The mutation happened at this moment.The black car rushed over as if it had lost its control panel.Several adults realized the danger and instinctively ran away first.The children were still laughing and making noise, ignorant of the crisis in front of them.The teacher screamed and pulled the children around him, but the children behind were stunned when they heard the teacher's cry.

Lu Yuze was very close to the children, watching the car coming towards him.The brain went blank for a moment, and the body seemed to be frozen, motionless.

Suddenly, a powerful force rushed over and threw Lu Yuze down.Before Lu Yuze could yell, he found that there was a child under him.

The child was frightened, his little face was pale, and he couldn't cry.The out-of-control car made a screeching sound, rushed across the sidewalk, and headed into the distance.People left in shock, scrambling to see if any children were injured.

Lu Yuze hugged the two children in his arms and coaxed them, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the car has already passed."

The teacher ran over to thank him repeatedly, and Lu Yuze handed the child to the teacher.Only then did he have time to see his savior.

Gu Qingren seemed to have been injured when he fell, grinning and hissing.Lu Yuze didn't expect that he was the one who saved him, so he forgot how to react for a moment.

Gu Qingren was a little anxious, pulled Lu Yuze up, and took advantage of the chaos to walk across the road.

Lu Yuze looked down at his arm, there was a big scratch.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone at the scene of the accident was taking care of the children, Gu Qingren led Lu Yuze into an alley.Lu Yuze shook off his hand, and was about to scold him angrily, but Gu Qingren put on a serious face and spoke first, "Do you want to know more about the testimony?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Yuze suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Is there a secret?"

"I don't know if it counts as your so-called 'hidden secrets', but there are indeed some details, and I may have been misled."

Suddenly, Lu Yuze grabbed Gu Qingren's collar tightly, "How did you get misled? Who misled you?"

"Don't worry." Gu Qingren took Lu Yuze's wrist and gently pulled it down, "Now I'm in trouble, if you want to know, then find out who kidnapped me."

Hearing this, Lu Yuze somewhat disliked Gu Qingren's coercion and temptation.

Gu Qingren said: "We trade fairly, you don't lose money, and I don't lose money. Moreover, you can't deny that I saved you just now. I suggest you think about it carefully. You just accepted Mr. Chen's entrustment to find me, and immediately Someone is going to kill you. Don't stare at me, I saw that car suddenly speeding up and heading towards you. Do you understand that you can't get away from this matter anymore?"

Gu Qingren's meaning is very clear.Now you want to stay out of it, is it possible?If you don't find someone who wants to kill you, can you sleep and comfort?Say yes to my offer and we'll all get the benefit.

It is undeniable that Gu Qingren has an eloquent mouth.
