She's so cute when she's asleep...

Gu Qingren thought, people of Lu Yuze's age are mostly enjoying the love of their parents, living a life of reckless squandering of youth, carefree and carefree.Thinking about it carefully, his brother was sentenced three years ago, and he was only a sophomore in high school three years ago.Since then, this little guy has been living alone, what about his financial resources?What should I do if I have a headache?What should I do if I am bullied?

Once the mind softens, it cannot be controlled.He turned his head and looked at the big boy who couldn't sleep well. He was really pretty, but he was too thin.Malnutrition, right?No one at home took care of him.

Gu Qingren scratched his nose, took off his coat, and covered Lu Yuze.

Lu Yuze woke up with a slight shaking.Rubbing his eyes, he realized that the car had stopped.When I wanted to get up, I found that there was an extra piece of clothing on my body.Gu Qingren stretched out his hand, took away the clothes, and put them on as usual.Lu Yuze frowned, seemingly disgusted.

"You slept very deeply." Gu Qingren said with a smile, "Have you been tired recently?"

Lu Yuze looked at the tall buildings beside him and asked, "How many floors?"

"Ninth floor." With that said, Gu Qingren got out of the car.

Walking up the steps, what awaited them was the tightly-fitted building door.Lu Yuze asked him how he planned to get in, Gu Qingren smiled happily, "I know the password to open the door."

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

Sure enough, she is cuter when she is asleep.Gu Qingren clicked his tongue, walked to the combination lock, and opened the door.

Because it was a sneak in, I didn't choose the elevator, and taking the stairs to climb up to the ninth floor was also a physical effort.Gu Qingren teased Lu Yuze, asking if you can do it?Don't go halfway up and can't walk anymore, and you still want me to carry you on your back.

Lu Yuze sneered, "Let's take care of yourself."

The two of them walked faster and faster as if competing with each other. Although Lu Yuze was thin, his physical strength was not weak. Not only could he keep up with Gu Qingren's speed, but he also had the potential to surpass him.Gu Qingren looked at his thin body, and said as he walked, "You have good physical fitness, and your lung capacity is also very good."

"I'm only 22, so it's strange if it's not good."

"But you're thin."

"You are burly, and I haven't seen how far you have gone."

Gu Qingren simply grabbed Lu Yuze who was speeding up, and looked into his eyes seriously, "Lu Yuze, we are now a cooperative relationship, you should know how to respect your partner."

Lu Yuze was a little out of breath, and looked back at Gu Qingren with complicated eyes: "Yes, respect your partner. That's why I didn't slap you a second time."

This kid is too stubborn!

"As I said, your brother's problem is not with me."

Hearing this, Lu Yuze's face, which rarely changes in expression, conjured up a little sullenness, "The truth can't be revealed with just a word from someone. What I'm looking for is real evidence. No matter what you say, I'm only looking for evidence!"

Suddenly, Gu Qingren raised his brows and smiled playfully, "It turns out to be evidence. So you ran around for a day, and what you were looking for was also evidence? You already knew the truth, right?"

Know the truth, right?His words were not questions, but affirmations.The complexity in Lu Yuze's eyes was replaced by more doubts, but he regained his composure in an instant.Calm and not at all like a 22-year-old.

"I'm not like you, who only look at the surface of the problem." After leaving a sentence, Lu Yuze continued to go upstairs.

Gu Qingren smiled wryly, and had to remind him, "Don't leave, the ninth floor is already here."

Lu Yuze paused, not knowing what he was thinking.Then turned around and walked to the exit door.Gu Qingren stood behind him and held his arm, "If anyone is inside, they will hear your footsteps. Wait a moment, I'll take a look first." Then, he pulled Lu Yuze behind him, and opened the door a crack .

There are several wall lamps on in the corridor, and the surrounding light is not very visible.In the middle of the night, the outside world is quiet, and a needle can be heard.Gu Qingren leaned out and looked towards his office.Faintly, one could see a flash of light under the crack of the door.

Gu Qingren said without looking back: "I'll go in first later, and you follow me. If anything happens, you run first. My skills are not bad, and I can protect myself. Don't forget Call the police. I'm just a human after all."

What a long-winded!Lu Yuze rolled his eyes, kicked Gu Qingren's ass, and kicked him out!

With a low cry, Gu Qingren staggered and rushed out, almost hitting the trash can.He turned his head and gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Yuze. Lu Yuze walked out like a stroll in the courtyard, and stared at him coldly.Gu Qingren pointed at Lu Yuze from the air—you wait, sooner or later you will bow your head and admit your mistake!

idiot!Lu Yuze rolled his eyes for the second time, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The combination of idiot and big boy is still good, at least they are consistent in action.Gu Qingren pointed to the door, meaning: This is it.

Lu Yuze motioned for him—to open the door.

Compared with the office in Yihong Group, this place is a bit rougher, but also warmer.Behind the executive desk is not an executive chair, but an electric massage chair.This chair is not comfortable to use for office work, and I always get stuck when I sit on it.At this moment, a person is constantly adjusting his sitting posture, trying to get closer to some computers on the table.

There were no lights in the office, only the light from the computer screen reflected the man's face, as well as his anxious and restless expression.

The door was opened, and the room lights were turned on.The sudden glare made the man close his eyes subconsciously.The short-lived surprise still lingers in my heart after adapting to the light.

Slowly opening his eyes, his vision gradually became clear.Seeing Gu Qingren and Lu Yuze standing at the door, he was very surprised.

Lu Yuze was expressionless, as if the scene in front of him had already appeared in his mind.Gu Qingren beside him had a gloomy expression, glaring at the person sitting on the massage chair.

In the next second, Gu Qingren squinted at Lu Yuze—you already knew it was him?No wonder he refused to say anything.

Compared to the calmness of the two young people, Mr. Chen seemed less stable, and said in disbelief, "Aren't you in the urban area?"

Lu Yuze said: "I asked my classmates to take the mobile phone you gave me and wander around the Yihong Group."

It turned out that the thing he gave to his friend in the fast food restaurant was the mobile phone given to him by Mr. Chen...

After Gu Qingren sighed softly, he looked at Lu Yuze and said helplessly, "Don't you want to avoid it?"

Lu Yuze just shook his head without answering.

Well, since you don't want to avoid it, let's face reality.

Gu Qingren walked slowly towards the executive desk, and said as he walked, "I've been unwilling to believe that it's you."

Now that it has been exposed, Mr. Chen is too lazy to make unnecessary excuses.After all, people in their 50s are not as stable as two young people?He knew that the plan had failed.Simply leaning in the soft and big massage chair, watching Gu Qingren approach, said: "I really want to know, how do you know it's mine."

Gu Qingren pointed to Lu Yuze, "From the beginning, he knew it was you."

"How is it possible?" When Chen Dong laughed, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.

With his old face and bitter smile, if this person is not the one who caused the trouble, Gu Qingren felt that he would let him go.

Lu Yuze also got up and stood beside Gu Qingren, looking at Director Chen indifferently: "The first flaw, from the time when the Minister of Security showed you the kidnapping video to when you found me and showed me Gu Qingren's information. It didn't take more than an hour .And the information you gave me is too detailed, you can't get it done in an hour, you have already prepared it. So, I was suspicious of you at that time."

Following Lu Yuze's analysis, Gu Qingren followed up and said: "I told him the reason for the kidnapping and the acquisition plan of the foreign catering group. I guess he is absolutely sure that you are the one who planned the kidnapping."

Lu Yuze took over his words: "Only those with vital interests will prevent others from calling the police. When you said that you didn't receive a call from the kidnapper asking for a ransom, what do you mean: the kidnapper gave you nothing except a video. Most people would choose to call the police in such a situation, but you didn’t.” Lu Yuze’s eyes darkened as he said that, “But you didn’t expect me to find out that Gu Qingren was not kidnapped. To guard against me, you gave me a smartphone."

He was almost killed by a car. At that time, Lu Yuze kept analyzing: Why did Chairman Chen target himself?How did he master his whereabouts?

Many questions were always in Lu Yuze's mind, but to no avail.It wasn't until he found out that the smartphone given by Mr. Chen could display the user's geographic location that he realized it.

"You have two of that kind of phone, and you can share your location. You gave me one, and you can share my location." After speaking, Lu Yuze lowered his head and sighed. "You found out that I went to another residence of Gu Qingren in the shared location, so you were in a hurry, so you asked someone to drive and hit me."

A question was solved, and more questions followed one after another—why did Mr. Chen do this?

Lu Yuze remembered that Gu Qingren directed and acted in a kidnapping scene in order to prevent the group from being acquired.What if he didn't do it?Those on the board who were willing to be acquired would go out of their way to kick him off the board.Therefore, he chose to strike first.However, Chen Dong took this opportunity to secretly hide Chen Cang.

To Chen Dong, it doesn't matter whether Gu Qingren was really kidnapped or not, and it doesn't matter who kidnapped him, as long as he can't show up within the specified time.

Therefore, Chen Dong asked him for help just to show others; therefore, he was panicked when he found that he was on Gu Qingren's side.

Say one thousand, say ten thousand, all for profit.

Gu Qingren suddenly found that Lu Yuze's expression was mixed with sporadic sadness, and it was indescribably awkward to see such an expression on his face.At least, Gu Qingren didn't want to see him sad.He was more comfortable with Lu Yuze's cold gaze, his eyes full of disdain.

Gu Qingren's hand subconsciously stroked Lu Yuze's soft hair, "Go out and get some air."

Lu Yuze didn't want to admit that it was so sad to confront the perpetrator.The Chen Dong in front of him is the old man he likes. He has always liked this Grandpa Chen very much.Facing the reality, Lu Yuze realized that his heart was not firm enough.

"He..." Lu Yuze avoided Gu Qingren's gentle gaze, and said in a low voice, "He doesn't actually want to kill me, he just doesn't want us to cooperate."

"I know." Gu Qingren lowered his voice, "Be obedient, go out and wait."

If possible, Lu Yuze would like to stay.However, he still couldn't drive Grandpa Chen to a dead end step by step.

As Lu Yuze left in disappointment, the tenderness on Gu Qingren's face disappeared.Turning around again, the only thing facing Chen Dong was cold and serious.

"You want my plan?" Gu Qingren asked: "Or: You pretend to oppose the acquisition plan, the purpose is to find my plan to enter the international market in two years. Right?"

Chen Dong acquiesced.

"Old Chen, I ask myself that I treat you kindly."

Chen Dong stood up abruptly and yelled at Gu Qingren: "Your vision is too short-sighted! The international market is changing rapidly. With Yi Hong's own conditions, he can't go out at all! Gu Qingren, Yi Hong is not yours alone."

Facing Chen Dong's anger, Gu Qingren pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "What if I'm tired of it?"

Tired?What does this mean?Chen Dong didn't understand.

Gu Qingren took off the watch and casually threw it on the table: "The plan is inside."

What's the meaning?Chen Dong looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Qingren said with a cold face, "I don't have to pursue other matters. You must have an explanation for instigating others to try to hurt Lu Yuze."

"Isn't he alive and well?"

Gu Qingren frowned: "If you can't solve this matter, I can only solve you."

At this moment, Chen Dong's cold sweat almost wet his clothes.

Time passed bit by bit, the darkness and silence in the corridor seemed to give Lu Yuze an infinite sense of security, and he could think deeply about why he dared not face Chen Dong.

Still young and inexperienced.Little Lu, too much emotion will hinder your development.You are still young, slowly learn to control your emotions - this is the evaluation given to him by the detective who has been doing nothing all day long.At that time, he was still very disdainful.

Taking out his old mobile phone, he fumbled with his long and slender fingers on the screen that had already scratched a lot.The mobile phone was left by his brother, he was reluctant to throw it away, and almost carried it close to his body.If my brother was by his side, he would definitely touch his head and say, "It's okay, take your time."

Ten minutes ago, someone touched his hair.Like my brother's hand, with a warm temperature.

At some point, Lu Yuze lay sideways on the bench in the corridor holding the phone, slowly closed his eyes, and reflected on his behavior.Gradually, I fell into dreamland.

Slow steps stopped in front of the bench.Gu Qingren looked at Lu Yuze who was sleeping soundly, smiled gently, and murmured to himself, "Only at this time does he look like a 22-year-old." After speaking, he carefully picked up Lu Yuze and left the office building.

Lu Yuze didn't know what exactly Gu Qingren and Chen Dong talked about, and what the final outcome was.That night, he woke up in Gu Qingren's car.He didn't ask anything, and Gu Qingren didn't say anything.At the school gate, they said goodbye to each other in silence.

A week passed in a flash.At noon on Monday, Lu Yuze and a few classmates went to a small restaurant on campus to have lunch.The restaurant was packed, and a small TV on the bar was showing the noon news.

Getting used to the noisy environment around him, Lu Yuze ate his beef rice bowl in frustration.A beautiful voice of the female anchor came from the TV.

"The following is the report on the procedures for the acquisition of Yihong Catering Group by the International Group last week."

Lu Yuze slowly raised his head...

The matter of Mr. Chen surrendering himself was not reported in the media, so Gu Qingren presumably did it.But why was it acquired?Didn't Gu Qingren go back?

The female anchor said: "According to the voting results of Yihong's board of directors, it has been confirmed to accept the olive branch of International Group. Some changes have also taken place in the board of directors of Yihong Group. Mr. Gu Qingren resigned from the position of chairman and CEO and left Yihong Group. Our reporter interviewed Mr. Gu Qingren yesterday."

In Lu Yuze's shock, the screen changed to an interview with the reporter and Gu Qingren.

When Lu Yuze got up, he knocked down the chair with too much force.

He ran outside quickly, causing his classmates to ask in surprise: "Why are you going? You don't have much time, so you won't go back to class?"

"Ask for leave for me." Lu Yuze yelled casually, and hurried to the school gate.

There was a constant flow of vehicles and crowds of people, and he was looking for his own direction in the vast crowd.His straight gaze fell on the smiling face of the man across the road, and his footsteps stopped abruptly.

Today's temperature is a bit hot, running all the way, there is a lot of sweat on his forehead, against the background of his red cheeks, he finally looks a little energetic.

"Where are you going, so anxious?" Gu Qingren, who was dressed in casual clothes, said to the big boy in front of him with a big smile, "I can give you a ride."

"To find you." He blurted out the purpose of coming here.Whether it is subconscious or deliberate, after hearing the news, this idea is all in his mind.

Lu Yuze couldn't understand Gu Qingren's decision, "Why? Why did you resign after you clearly exposed Chairman Chen?"

Gu Qingren smiled freely, shrugged, and said, "I'm tired of it."

"Tired? What do you mean?"

Gu Qingren pinched his nose, looking more easy-going and relaxed than a week ago, he said: "Actually, Lao Chen is right. With my own ability, even if I bring Yi Hong to the international market, there will be no good development." .Being acquired by a large group is the most correct choice.”

"But..." Lu Yuze became more and more confused, "Since you also understand, why object?"

"Aren't you reconciled?" Gu Qingren said with a smile.

Gu Qingren has devoted all of his efforts to Yihong's progress from a small company with an office of only 80 meters to where he is today.For him, Yihong is not just a profitable company, not just a career.Yi Hong is more like his child.

The child is growing up, and the parents need to let go.

Gu Qingren said with a smile: "I'm not yet 30 years old, I have enough time and energy to challenge new things."

"I don't understand!" Not sure why, Lu Yuze became angry, "Let's not talk about the original intention of my management of this matter, the purpose is to get you back to the board of directors and prevent the group from being acquired. What are you now? Unemployed ? Penniless?"

"How could it be possible to be penniless?" Gu Qingren was amused by Lu Yuze's eagerness, "I still have shares. Well, I admit it's a bit willful to do so, but I have wanted to try other businesses since a long time ago. Start from scratch .”

Start from scratch?

Stop kidding, okay?

"I'm not joking." Gu Qingren saw Lu Yuze's doubts, and said frankly: "From nothing to building an empire, you will be proud of yourself when you look back. So, are you willing to follow me?"

Is this man in front of me really Gu Qingren?Lu Yuze was in a daze, and unconsciously answered his invitation, "Where are you going with me?"

"Don't forget, I still need an explanation for your brother." After speaking, Gu Qingren put on his sunglasses and opened the car door behind him, "How about having a cup of coffee together?"

Looking at his car and his frank smile, Lu Yuze returned to his cold attitude a week ago, "I don't drink coffee, I only drink hot chocolate."

"A girl's taste."

"Chocolate is a girl's taste when a man drinks it?"

Gu Qingren shrugged and said, "Men rarely drink sweet and greasy things, do they?"

"Do you know how much sweets are good for the brain?" While speaking, Lu Yuze had already got into the car.

Gu Qingren fastened his seat belt, started the car, and slowly drove into the motorway.He was in a good mood and casually chatted with Lu Yuze: "Actually, I think bananas are better for the brain."

Lu Yuze had to tell him that bananas are used to replenish physical strength!

"Then what supplements the brain?"

"Walnut!"

"Oh, walnuts. Then you should have walnuts and what chocolate?"

Lu Yuze gritted his teeth, "Because I want to drink!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingren laughed loudly, "Actually, you just like drinking chocolate, and it has nothing to do with nourishing your brain. It really is a girl's taste!"

Lu Yuze started playing with the sleeves of his T-shirt, muttering - I'd better slap you.

There is still a constant stream of traffic on the motorway, and the car is still noisy.This opens a new chapter, and all stories start from scratch, just like their meeting and getting to know each other.

Although the road ahead is unclear, it is full of yearning to find out.
