Can't tell the truth from the fake

"Mr. Gu."

"Chinning didn't come to the company today, did he go to the Golden Snake?"

"No." The man on the other end of the phone had some doubts in his low voice, "Today they asked me to find him, but when I got to his house, no one opened the door."

Gu Wen was silent for a moment and said, "What did they ask you to find Chinning for?"

"Because Chinning has not conveyed any valuable information, so I want to take over Chinning's task."

"The plan cannot be changed, Li Wen." Gu Wen frowned slightly.

"I understand, so Mr. Gu, do you want to show him something?"

"Okay, I will."

Gu Wen put down his cell phone, looked at the reviewed documents on the table and meditated, after a while he gave Ji Chong some instructions in a low voice, turned and left the office.

Lu Xi opened his heavy eyelids, turned over, stared unfocused at the messy living room, and closed his eyes again.

Suddenly he straightened up and sat up, staring with surprise at the man in suit and leather shoes sitting on the other side of the sofa with cold eyes.

His drowsiness dissipated suddenly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Gu...Mr. Gu? You...why are you here?"

Gu Wen glanced at him, and said coldly: "It's 17:23 Beijing time, and my marketing director told me that you didn't come to work today, and your phone is disconnected."

"You...how do you have the key here?" Lu Xi still asked tremblingly.

"This is my house, what do you think?" Gu Wen scanned the messy ground with indifference on his face.

Lu Xi followed his gaze to look at the scattered wine bottles and sundries on the ground, and got up awkwardly to clean up the trash.However, the physical discomfort after the hangover made his eyes darken, and he wobbled and sat back.

Seeing his movements, Gu Wen sneered, "I originally wanted to give you a promotion and salary increase at the end of the year, but now it seems that it can be avoided."

Lu Xi smiled dryly, not daring to speak.

"Why do you drink so much?"

Lu Xi raised his head and looked at Gu Wen, who was lightly tapping on the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips, expressionless.

"I suddenly wanted to drink."

He looked down at his toes, and said silently in his heart, because yesterday was my death day.

"not in a good mood?"

"No, I'm just...actually excited, hahaha." Lu Xi squeezed out a blunt smile, feeling dry in his heart.

Of course, the mood will not be good, no matter who has experienced these things, probably will not be able to feel relieved.

He looked at Gu Wen's neat and unmarked suit and energetic demeanor in a somewhat complicated manner, all of which were in stark contrast to himself with messy hair, swollen eyes and swollen whole body.

Does Gu Wen care about himself?

The answer is obvious.

"How was your day yesterday, Mr. Gu?" He probably still didn't give up, he raised his head and pretended to be relaxed and asked,

"Of course it's very good." A smile curled up on the corner of Gu Wen's mouth, which made people feel chills for some reason.

Where Lu Xi couldn't see, Gu Wen's palms were tightly clenched, and his joints turned white.

The hatred in his heart for this person named Chinning reached its peak in an instant, and he even tried to suppress the urge to violently hammer this person with all his strength, and tried his best to maintain an indestructible expression.

He is very excited?Asked if you had a good day yesterday?

Both of them were smiling face to face.

It's just that one person's smile hides bitterness, and one person's smile hides cruelty.

Time flies, the tail of September flies by, and the holidays in early October arrive as scheduled.

Lu Xi was sitting behind the desk with his legs crossed while holding a notebook, unconsciously scribbling something with a ballpoint pen.

After today's work is over, there will be a seven-day vacation, and Lu Xi has been thinking about how to spend it.

When he was living as Lu Xi in previous years, he had never experienced this kind of nine-to-five work and rest system. Basically, he would only work formally when he had a task. He usually just joked with customers in bars, going all over the place. crap.

The sudden vacation made him a little overwhelmed. He was wondering whether to sleep at home and play games or to travel and relax.

"Chinning!" At this moment, the colleague sitting next to him suddenly interrupted his train of thought. Lu Xi raised his head in a daze, and found that Gu Wen had come in front of him at some point.

"Come out." Gu Wen knocked on his desktop, turned around and walked into the corridor, Lu Xi followed out with some doubts.

"What's the matter, Mr. Gu?"

"Go home after get off work and pack your luggage and go on a business trip with me in City X." Gu Wen's cold voice came, and his handsome face was as indifferent as ever.

"Me? Why me?" Lu Xi pointed at the tip of his nose in amazement.

"The marketing department needs to find someone. Your supervisor asked for leave for something. He said that your business ability is very strong, so he recommended you to me."

"...Can I choose not to go?" Lu Xi muttered, the relaxing vacation slipped away from him as if it had grown wings, and he kept crying in his heart.

"You'll get a raise when you come back from a business trip." Gu Wen looked at the man in front of him with downcast gray eyes, "I'll be at the company at nine o'clock tomorrow."

"Wait, why don't you take the plane!" Lu Xi suddenly thought of the painful experience before, and said anxiously to Gu Wen who turned to leave.

"Ah."
