New Times, New Hell

Yu Zhengdu looked at Shang Que silently, and laughed for a while, because he didn't know what to say.

Shang Que turned his face sideways, raised his chin, and assumed a dignified and haughty look.

He waited for a while without seeing Yu Zhengdu speak, and couldn't help looking at Yu Zhengdu from the corner of his eye.

It happened that Yu Zhengdu was also looking at him, and when their eyes met, Yu Zhengdu's eyes softened: "Boss, listen to me..."

"I don't listen." Shang Que preemptively said with great backbone, "You misunderstood, I didn't intend to agree to you from the beginning."

Although he controlled his expression when he said this, the hand holding the mouse unconsciously exerted a little force, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

Yu Zhengdu's unfinished words were blocked back, and he looked at Shang Que with burning eyes. After a while, he sighed deeply, and said again: "Are you sure, you really don't intend to promise me?"

"Of course it's true!" Shang Que said, his tone was stiff, showing a bit of arrogance in his bones, "Aren't you not going to confess your love to me anyway? We're even!"

"It's not fair." Yu Zhengdu looked at him, and he didn't know what to think of, and he smiled a little unconsciously, "I thought about it later, and I think your promise to me is pretty good."

Shang Que frowned, for a moment he didn't realize what Yu Zhengdu meant.

"However, I think you really need to think again." Yu Zhengdu put his hands in his jacket pockets and said seriously, "Do you really want to be with me, or do you just want to be with me because you think I like you?" together."

Shang Que retorted in a cold voice: "I didn't want to be with you..."

In the middle of speaking, seeing Yu Zhengdu looking at him uprightly, Shang Que subconsciously paused, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and changed his words angrily: "Anyway, you don't like me."

"I didn't say anything." Yu Zhengdu smiled, "Xiao Shang, you can't think that I like you and think that I don't like you."

"More importantly, you can't want to be with me just because you think I like you, and retreat because you think I don't like you."

Shang Que's mind was blank, he couldn't understand Yu Zhengdu's words at all, he just said with his usual willfulness: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Then think about it carefully." Yu Zhengdu said patiently, "I'm not in a hurry."

He is not in a hurry either! ! ! !

Shang Que took a deep breath, clicked on the game client on the computer desktop, and gave the order to chase away the guests expressionlessly: "Go out, I'm going to play a game."

"Well, I'll go to the subsidiary to work first during this time." Yu Zhengdu said, he retreated to the door of the office, thought for a while, turned around, and shouted with a smile, "Xiaoshang."

Shang Que raised his head.

Yu Zhengdu bent his eyes and said with a smile: "You are so pretty."

Shang Que:! ! ! !

You said I was pretty, why didn't you confess!

***

The next morning, Yu Zhengdu went to work at the subsidiary Jinglu Future. He usually runs between the headquarters and the subsidiary, so the people in the company did not find it strange.

Yu Zhengdu didn't explain much, after sitting down, after thinking about it, he sent another message to Shang Que: [Do you need me to give Peggy a prenatal education today? 】

Shang Que didn't block him this time, but he didn't reply to the message either.

Yu Zhengdu fell into deep thought: So is this a cold war?

It happened that Liu Wei, the programmer of the subsidiary company, came to him to discuss the problem, so Yu Zhengdu temporarily put the matter of Shang Que behind him, and began to analyze the work difficulties he encountered with Liu Wei.

Halfway through the speech, a shadow suddenly cast from the side, and several programmers around greeted each other: "Hello, Mr. Shang."

Yu Zhengdu raised his head, and saw Shang Que standing in front of him, looking at him sternly.

At this time, Liu Wei also turned his head to look over. He was taken aback and shouted: "Mr. Shang, why are you holding a chicken coop?"

That's right, Shang Que was wearing a well-tailored suit at this time, which was as elegant and elegant as usual, and he stood even more handsome and handsome like a javelin, exuding the majesty of a superior person.

But in the hands of such a handsome and solemn Mr. Shang, he is holding a huge... chicken coop?

Not only that, but if you look down, you will find that there is a white duck at his feet.

Liu Wei was completely confused: "Mr. Shang, our company is not going to develop animal husbandry, is it?"

The company's product catalog is already weird enough...

Yu Zhengdu also looked at the thing in Shang Que's hand, it was clearly Peggy's hatching nest, but he didn't know what Shang Que was planning to do.

He stood up and said to Liu Wei: "Go back to your seat first, come back later..."

"No need, I'll put down my things and leave." Shang Que said lightly, then took two steps forward indifferently, put the huge chicken coop on Yu Zhengdu's table, then looked down and stared at the big white duck.

With a "quack" sound, the great white duck spread its wings and flew onto the desk, then twisted its buttocks, sat upright in the nest, and continued to hatch the eggs.

Fortunately, Yu Zhengdu's table is big enough to accommodate this nest and a duck.

Yu Zhengdu looked at Shang Que with some puzzlement, and felt uncomfortable for a moment. Could it be that Shang Que... was really heartbroken?Don't you want the female goose?

He hesitated for a while before tentatively saying, "Boss, what are you?"

Shang Que didn't meet his gaze, but turned his head away, put his hand in his pocket, looked into the distance, and said in a calm tone: "I think, if we are not together, Peggy should be more willing to follow you."

A row of question marks popped out of Yu Zhengdu's forehead, and he almost spit out on the spot.

No, what Shang Que is currently performing is the legendary... Divorce and custody plot?

Yu Zhengdu fell into a trance for a while, should it be said that the ghost king deserves to be the ghost king?

Although Shang Que vowed that he never planned to promise himself, but from dating to parenting, from parenting to divorce, the whole plot line went so completely that it didn't fall behind at all.

"I hope you can take on the responsibility of being a single father." Shang Que continued, "Don't neglect the female goose just because I'm not around."

Yu Zhengdu had a mouthful of blood choked in his throat, and almost choked himself to death. After a while, he helped his forehead: "I see, I will take good care of Peggy."

"You don't have to worry, I put Peggy under protection, and she will be fine until she is born." Shang Que added, and went to see the big white duck again, with sharp eyes, "Do you know what to do?"

The great white duck shrank its wings and said in a low voice, "Quack—"

After explaining the matter, Shang Que nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Yu Zhengdu from the corner of his eye, and coughed lightly: "Then I'm leaving."

"En." Yu Zhengdu nodded, "Go slowly."

Shang Que stood still, and after a while, Yu Zhengdu couldn't help but look at him suspiciously: "?"

Shang Que glanced around casually, and said lightly: "Do you have no work to report to me?"

"Not yet." Yu Zhengdu looked at him with a smile, "If there is, I'll send it to you on WeChat."

"It's unclear on the Internet." Shang Que said, "If you have any questions, please come to my office to discuss."

Yu Zhengdu: "Okay."

Shang Que waited for a while, and seeing that he really had nothing else to say, he had no choice but to turn his head: "Then I'll be leaving."

Yu Zhengdu: "Yes."

Shang Que then stepped forward with his straight and slender legs, preparing to leave gracefully. He had just taken two steps when he remembered something, stopped and turned around and said, "Although Peggy followed you, I still have the right to see her, right?" .”

Yu Zhengdu smiled: "Of course."

Shang Que nodded: "Then I'll come and give her prenatal education on a regular basis."

Yu Zhengdu couldn't help asking: "Regularly?"

Shang Que pondered for a while: "Only once a day."

Yu Zhengdu: ...I believed in your evil.

Shang Que negotiated a time to visit the female goose, and then left contentedly.

Yu Zhengdu couldn't help helping his forehead again, and when he turned around, Liu Wei looked at him in confusion: "Boss, why did President Shang give you a chicken coop?"

"That's not a chicken coop." Yu Zhengdu said, "It's a breeding nest, where eggs are hatching."

"Ah, so that's the case..." Liu Wei scratched his head, turned to look at the hatching nest, and then fell into confusion again, "Wait, boss, if it's hatching eggs? Why is there a duck here? "

Yu Zhengdu was embarrassed to say that because the goose was so vicious that ghosts couldn't catch it, he said vaguely, "Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is." Liu Wei was in a mess, "Boss, you are not from the countryside, don't you know that ducks don't hatch eggs?"

Yu Zhengdu was silent for a moment: "...Really?"

Liu Wei looked at the peaceful duck with an expression as if he saw some natural miracle: "Boss, in my hometown, duck eggs are hatched by hens..."

To be precise, domestic ducks do not incubate eggs, because when humans raised ducks, they found that the incubating ducks laid fewer eggs and did not grow fat. Therefore, they began to cultivate and domesticate ducks very early, and artificially incubate eggs instead of ducks to incubate eggs. After one generation After several generations of breeding, the current domestic ducks no longer hatch their own eggs.

But obviously, not everyone knows this, at least not the ghosts of Yu Zhengdu and Luo Feng.

Liu Wei sighed: "What did this duck go through?"

Experienced the threat and intimidation of the ghost king.

Yu Zhengdu looked at this conscientious and uncomplaining duck, and said without changing his face: "I think it's probably because this duck has a mother's love."

"That's not impossible." Liu Wei thought for a while, reluctantly accepted this statement, and helped to find a reason to explain, "After all, ducks were also hatched at the beginning. Although they are rare now, they still happen occasionally. One or two cuddling ones."

He looked at the duck that was as quiet as a chicken, and couldn't help "tsk tsk" in amazement: "Boss, this duck of yours not only has maternal love, but also is so obedient."

Yu Zhengdu smiled and nodded: "Well, it's a duck."

As soon as he finished speaking, the duck stood up with a "quack" and looked at Yu Zhengdu with small eyes, hinting frantically.

Yu Zhengdu then said to Liu Wei: "It's going to shit, I haven't prepared a duck toilet for it yet, you can take it to the toilet in the building today."

Liu Wei looked at Yu Zhengdu, then at the duck, showing a shocked face: "Your duck still knows when to go to the toilet?"

"Yeah." Yu Zhengdu nodded calmly, "I said, it's a duck."

This is not only as simple as being a good duck, is this a god duck?

Liu Wei watched in a trance as Shen Duck jumped off the table, twisted its buttocks and followed at his feet, was about to take it to the toilet, and subconsciously looked back at the hatching nest, and then his eyes stared out again.

"Boss, aren't you a duck egg?" Liu Wei pointed to the huge white egg and said.

"I didn't say it was a duck egg." Yu Zhengdu touched Peggy, "It's a goose egg."

Liu Wei held his breath in his chest, and after a while, he squatted down tremblingly and stroked the big white duck's fur: "Duckling, what have you been through?"

You say a duck, it’s fine to incubate eggs, but it’s not duck eggs... Is this the overflow of motherhood, or the distortion of duck nature?

"Gah——" the well-behaved and obedient big white duck suddenly spread its wings like a roc, slapped Liu Wei's face with one wing, and then pecked at Liu Wei's palm with its mouth.

"Oh—" Liu Wei wailed, "Boss, your duck is poisonous!"

……

Shang Que had been fidgeting in the office for a whole day, checking WeChat every few minutes, and the managers of various departments asked him for a round of work instructions in turn, but they didn't see the information he wanted.

He replied to the requests from various departments one by one, and approved the submitted reports. After finishing these, he felt very irritable when he stopped.

Shang Que thought about it, and simply logged on to Weibo to have a look.

He was immersed in the sweetness of love (?) a few days ago, and he hadn't been on Weibo for a while. After logging in, he received a lot of information.

He never reads comments and reposts, but only reads private messages.

As a result, he opened it and found that Professor Shen Wenrong of Diyang University had sent him several private messages.

Shang Que was scolded by drama fans for having many historical bugs in the small diss costume drama "Old Dreams of Bianliang" before. Later, Shen Wenrong, a professor of history at Diyang University, came out and stamped Shang Que's historical point of view, because of this As a result, Shang Que's professional image has been affirmed, and he has gained many fans under the double bonus of face and talent.

After that, Shen Wenrong kept in touch with Shang Que, and Shang Que later solved some difficult problems in the study of Song history for him. Therefore, Shen Wenrong always hoped to invite Shang Que to participate in their academic discussion, but Shang Que never agreed. .

Shang Que took a look at Shen Wenrong's private message, and found that he repeated the same old tune, and invited him to the party again, but this time it was not an academic discussion, but a folk exchange meeting organized by lovers of Song history.

Shang Que glanced at it casually, rejected Shen Wenrong again coldly, and then continued to read WeChat.

Yu Zhengdu still didn't send a message.

When it was time for lunch, Shang Que finally couldn't hold back anymore. Yu Zhengdu had been having lunch with him these days, and it was already lunch time, and Yu Zhengdu didn't say anything.

He thought for a while, placed an order on the food delivery software, and then shared the red envelope link with Yu Zhengdu.

My poor boss: [hand slipped and sent wrong]

My poor boss: [But if you also order takeaway, you can grab a red envelope. 】

It took a while before Yu Zhengdu replied to the message.

Yu Zhengdu: [No, I will eat downstairs with Liu Wei]

Shang Que:! ! !He's looking for someone else to eat with!

My poor boss: [You haven't reported to me for work today]

Yu Zhengdu: [The matter of the system has come to an end, there is no special need to ask for instructions for a while]

Yu Zhengdu: [[File: todolist]]

Shang Que clicked into Yu Zhengdu's file and looked at it, which listed his work schedule for the next few days, and found that Yu Zhengdu didn't deliberately not report to him, it was really unnecessary.

For the first time, Shang Que felt that sometimes it is not a good thing for employees to be too capable.

He was depressed, Lu Lingxi transferred him an internal number, but it was Shen Wenrong who called.

Shen Wenrong naturally mentioned the gathering with Shang Que in the private message. He said: "Mr. Shang, this gathering is not an ordinary gathering. Many folk private collectors will bring their collections to attend. You can see it in many public places. Don’t you feel moved by the ancient relics of the Song Dynasty that you can’t find?”

Shang Que: "Don't be moved."

Shen Wenrong choked for a moment, and said embarrassingly, "Why do you reject these activities so much? This is not work, so just come here for fun."

Shang Que was studying Yu Zhengdu's worksheet, and when he heard that the light bulb in his head lit up, a smile appeared on his mouth: "No, this is work."

Shen Wenrong hurriedly said: "It's really not..."

"It's work." Shang Que lifted his spirits and said, "Professor Shen, I can go to participate, but I have to bring a staff member."

When Shen Wenrong heard that he was willing to participate, he was immediately overjoyed. There was no one who was not happy, and he immediately agreed: "Of course there is no problem."

On the other side, Yu Zhengdu was eating lunch, and WeChat turned on again.

My poor boss: [Go on a business trip with me the day after tomorrow]

Yu Zhengdu: [What are you doing? 】

My poor boss: [Participate in a Song history exchange meeting]

Yu Zhengdu: [... Is this also my job? 】

My poor boss: [Yeah, I just added you to the todolist]

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

A capitalist is a capitalist!Even ghosts don't change their exploitative nature!

The author has something to say: Peggy: Ga!Dad don't divorce!
