When leaving the equestrian club, Ruan Cunyun felt that he had gained great satisfaction both physically and mentally.
Xu Feifei was right, horse riding was a fun sport, but it was a little too exciting.
Qin Fanglu, with a professional research attitude, asked Ruan Cunyun for feedback on today's equestrian experience.
Putting aside those messy and unpresentable thoughts in his mind, Ruan Cunyun objectively commented: "The independent riding part is a bit too difficult, and it may take a long time of practice to do it. The ride is still very interesting. Thank you, Mr. Qin."
"If the full score is 10, how would you rate your experience today?" Qin Fanglu asked.
The company's project was being done so seriously that the immediate supervisor personally collected feedback and asked so many detailed questions. Ruan Cunyun was surprised.
"If I were to give an objective evaluation..." Ruan Cunyun thought for a moment and smiled apologetically, "Maybe 7 points."
Although I accidentally leaned on my chest muscles, I was really tired.
Qin Fanglu nodded and wrote down the key points on his phone.
[Dating Feedback – Horseback Riding]
Qin Fanglu ignored his ridicule and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Cunyun closed his eyes sadly.
Cheng Kai shook the things in his hand and boasted: "I came to visit the game console store here. I just bought three boxes of game cartridges."
"Hey, Qin Gou, it's so rare! I actually run into you in the mall!" Cheng Kai smiled with his eight bright white teeth and ran towards Qin Fanglu with a step that showed no regard for his relatives.
Qin Fanglu asked: "This one?"
Ruan Cunyun smiled reluctantly: "Haha, it's a bit too trendy."
When Ruan Cunyun stepped into the crowded shopping mall, he almost felt suffocated.
The waiter turned around and tried to sell Qin Fanglu the product. Qin Fanglu glanced at him indifferently and the waiter immediately shut up.
Qin Fanglu asked: "Do you have anything to do tonight? If not, do you want to go shopping for clothes?"
"Why did you return the clothes I lent you when we were drifting?" Qin Fanglu asked expressionlessly.
His thoughts jumped too fast, and Ruan Cunyun couldn't keep up for a while: "Buy... why buy clothes?"
People coming and going are all dressed up, cool and trendy, in groups of three or five, or in pairs. The cosmetics and perfume counters exude rich fragrances, there are long queues outside luxury stores, huge advertisements endorsed by celebrities occupy the big screen, and the air is full of the atmosphere of modernity.
Ruan Cunyun stopped talking.
Overall rating: 7 points
He hadn't been to a shopping mall for a long time since online shopping became popular. Even if he came, he just had a meal and left. This was the first time he had been shopping properly in a long time.
"It's okay, Mr. Qin, you don't have to return the clothes." Ruan Cunyun smiled.
It was noisy and awkward, and Ruan Cunyun felt like crying but had no tears. This was why he was unwilling to buy clothes in physical stores.
After a while, Ruan Cunyun had four or five pieces of clothes in his hands, and the waiter smiled and asked him to go to the fitting room to try them on.
"I wore your short-sleeved shirt home on the rainy night." Qin Fanglu stated calmly, "I'm sorry that I tore your shirt."
Qin Fanglu: "I came here to buy clothes with someone."
It could barely be considered the first gift given to him. Although it was not legitimate, Qin Fanglu was somewhat impatient to leave his mark in Ruan Cunyun's life.
The waiter in the store was very enthusiastic. He first praised the two customers for being so handsome, and then asked them if they were brothers. They had such a good relationship that they went shopping together!
Will not come again in the future (the double horse riding part can be considered).
Qin Fanglu dodged his heavy blow with ease and said in return, "Cheng Gou."
Just as he was thinking about his next date plan, a figure that couldn't be more familiar came into Qin Fanglu's sight.
Ruan Cunyun was dumbfounded.
Right in front of you is a trendy brand store, playing metal rock music, with clothes in exaggerated and trendy styles, a strong sense of cool and styling.
Cheng Kai looked into the clothing store and smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell. It's ok for you to go shopping, but why are you visiting a store for little boys? Are you trying to regain your youth? Acting young?"
The two continued walking forward, passing several trendy brands, and finally came to a store with a normal style.
"Why not take a look at this one?" said Ruan Cunyun.
Ruan Cunyun wanted to explain, but the waiter spoke too fast and started introducing the clothes and asking Ruan Cunyun what he wanted, and kept talking on and on.
He pushed Qin Fanglu and said, "Don't change the subject. Why are you here? Seeing you in a shopping mall is as rare as seeing a polar bear at the equator."
He wanted to end the battle quickly.
Considering the muscle condition he felt today, Ruan Cunyun couldn't help but wonder how his short-sleeved shirt got torn? Where did it get torn
Qin Fanglu: "So I have to compensate you with a piece of clothing. But clothes are hard to buy, so it's best if you choose it yourself."
Highlight moment: R wore tight white breeches and black riding boots, riding calmly on the back of a pure white horse. (Although he almost fell later, it was still cute) -
Ruan Cunyun thought Qin Fanglu would ask the driver to take him back to the park where he started out in the morning, but unexpectedly Qin Fanglu asked the driver to stop the car in front of a busy shopping mall.
It was so hard to deal with the waiters!
Ways to improve: Choose more relaxing activities.
Analysis: It is difficult, requires too much skill, and is not interesting enough.
Fortunately, Qin Fanglu had a clear goal, and the two of them went straight to the men's clothing floor and came to the area of clothes that young boys liked.
Qin Fanglu silently calculated that this store was a mid-range clothing brand and the prices were neither high nor low, so Ruan Cunyun would not feel burdened if he accepted the items.
But his boss asked him to go shopping, so what could he do? Of course he had to agree.
Cheng Kai's puppy eyes opened wider and wider, his mouth slightly opened, and he was in a daze for a long time without uttering a word.
Qin Fanglu said bluntly: "You look like a husky."
"No, no, no, no, wait a minute." Cheng Kai tried to clear his thoughts.
"You are Qin Fanglu, you are in a shopping mall, you are shopping for clothes with someone else, in a clothing store for young boys."
The memory in his brain slowly returned, and Cheng Kai suddenly remembered that Qin Fanglu said that he fell in love with a three-dimensional boy, who was his subordinate.
The clues were clear and definite, and Cheng Kai's shock gradually turned into anger.
"You, you didn't even tell me that you're no longer single? And you did it too quickly, right? Our friendship is broken! Goodbye!" Cheng Kai was indignant.
Qin Fanglu didn't understand how this person's brain worked, and said with a headache: "I'm not single yet, it's a long way to go, I'm working hard."
"You scared me to death. I knew you wouldn't be single earlier than me." Cheng Kai stroked his chest with a smile, "That's perfect. Let me meet you today? I'll help you calculate your success rate."
Qin Fanglu's sharp eyes swept over the game cartridge in Cheng Kai's hand, and hesitantly discussed with him: "That may not work. Can you leave before he leaves the fitting room?"
"Why!" Cheng Kai was angry, "You've forgotten your mother before you even got married?"
What kind of magical generation is this? Qin Fanglu was speechless.
Qin Fanglu explained kindly: "When the company was playing the truth or dare game, he said his ideal type was a mature and reliable person. You are holding a game cartridge and wearing shorts. Would a mature person have a friend like this?"
"Mature people can't play games?" Cheng Kai retorted, "Although I love playing games, I am a typical mature and reliable man!"
After these words were spoken, Qin Fanglu looked at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Cheng Kai realized it later: "No, no, no, you're overthinking it. I don't mean to break up your family. I mean, playing a game is harmless!"
Qin Fanglu sighed softly: "I don't know if he dislikes these things. I don't see him having any hobbies in this area. So I'd better be cautious now."
Cheng Kai thought about it for a moment and felt that what Qin Fanglu said made sense.
The brother’s life comes first. Cheng Kai patted his shoulder and said, “Then you do your best. I’ll go first…”
Squeak—
The locker room door opened.
The boy was wearing a mint green loose short-sleeved shirt. He walked out and looked a little confused when he saw Cheng Kai.
There is no time to escape underground, and running away now would be too obvious.
Cheng Kai reacted quickly, hiding the game cartridge behind him, then took off his coat with one hand and wrapped the cartridge inside.
"This one looks good." Qin Fanglu looked at him straight, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"I think so too. This is the one we should take." Ruan Cunyun nodded and looked towards Cheng Kai. "Boss Qin, this is your friend..."
"Hello." Cheng Kai coughed twice in a pretentious manner and said in a deep voice, "I am Mr. Qin's partner, my last name is Cheng."
Qin Fanglu looked at him in shock, his eyes clearly showing the following words: [Cheng Kai, you are an idiot]. Cheng Kai slyly winked at Qin Fanglu, his eyes confidently showing the following words: [Don't worry, just wait for me!]
Ruan Cunyun immediately straightened up and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Cheng."
It’s over, it’s over, Ruan Cunyun’s mind raced.
Mr. Cheng is Mr. Qin’s partner. He happens to see Mr. Qin shopping for clothes with a boy. What will Mr. Cheng think
How should he explain the relationship between the two
Although he had nothing to do with Qin Fanglu, which boss would go shopping with his subordinates on a weekend night? This must be fishy!
There was no way he could explain to Mr. Cheng that "Mr. Qin owed me a piece of clothing", it sounded too stupid.
What if Mr. Cheng misunderstood and thought that he was Mr. Qin's illegitimate lover, or made even more outrageous guesses... Would that damage Mr. Qin's reputation? Would it affect the cooperation
Before Ruan Cunyun could figure it out completely, Mr. Cheng spoke first.
Mr. Cheng said, "I happened to meet Mr. Qin here, so I came to chat with him."
Ruan Cunyun nodded seriously.
Qin Fanglu couldn't bear to watch Cheng Kai's poor acting skills, and didn't know why Ruan Cunyun believed it.
"I came to the bookstore to buy a few books, but I forgot to bring a bag, so I wrapped them in clothes." Cheng Kai raised a large ball of clothes in his hand. "One is "Wall Street Storm" and the other is "Advanced Investment".
The scene was too horrific to bear, and Qin Fanglu tried hard to resist the urge to knock Cheng Kai unconscious and drag him away.
However, Cheng Kai continued to talk, like a highly intelligent Wall Street wolf: "Your President Qin is very good at investment. We briefly talked about the recent interest rate fluctuations and dark horse stocks, and I learned a lot. Although the market has been unstable recently, President Qin calmly gave me the right advice. He is very mature and reliable."
Cheng Kai was very pleased with himself. Look, the arguments and supporting information are clear, and the final point emphasizes "mature and reliable". It's a perfect sales pitch!
He used his eyes to tell Ruan Cunyun: [Little boy, your favorite mature man is right in front of you, hurry up and seize the opportunity, loving him will not be a loss!]
Cheng Kai then looked at Qin Fanglu: [Brother, you are awesome! I will give you a big assist!]
Qin Fanglu's eyes were grim: [Idiot.]
Cheng Kai smiled brightly: [Yes, I am a genius.]
After a series of irrelevant glances, Qin Fanglu couldn't wait for Cheng Kai to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Cunyun looked at Cheng Kai and said, "Mr. Cheng, what a coincidence, I was also buying clothes here, and then I ran into Mr. Qin by chance."
Cheng Kai:
Qin Fanglu:
Ruan Cunyun smiled politely: "Then I won't bother you two anymore. I'll go and pay the bill."
Qin Fanglu hurriedly chased after him, stuffed his card into Ruan Cunyun's hand, and said something in a panic like a middle school boss: "Swipe my card."
Ruan Cunyun dodged with a horrified look on his face. He glanced slightly in the direction of Cheng Kai and spoke quickly in a low voice: "Don't be like this. Your partner is right here. What if he thinks too much and it has a bad impact on you?"
What's the meaning
Even Mr. Qin, who had been in the business world for many years, was puzzled.
Without noticing, Ruan Cunyun scanned the code to pay for the whole process. His hand was so fast that Qin Fanglu didn't have time to stop him.
.
Cheng Kai, who didn't know the situation, stood there blankly, watching Ruan Cunyun come out after buying things, followed by Qin Fanglu with a gloomy face.
Cheng Kai looked anxiously and asked: [What happened?]
Qin Fanglu's eyes were cold and stern: [Cheng Gou, you are finished.]
Three handsome men standing in front of the clothing store are very attractive. There are more customers and the owner wishes they could serve as semi-permanent billboards here.
But Ruan Cunyun was eager to distance himself from the matter, so he smiled and tried, "Well, I've finished shopping. How about I leave first?"
"I want to go back, too." This time Qin Fanglu reacted quickly, pointing in the opposite direction and saying, "Cheng Kai, didn't you just say you wanted to go to the headphone store over there? Go ahead, we'll leave first."
Cheng Kai was clearly ordered to leave, and Qin Fanglu calmly drove him away with his eyes: [Go away!]
Cheng Kai finally understood this time and smiled warmly: "Okay, then I'll go continue shopping, see you next time."
The tone was enthusiastic, as if to add a sentence "Welcome to visit next time".
Finally they were back to the state of being just the two of them. Ruan Cunyun was wearing new clothes, but they were bought with his own money.
Qin Fanglu had a headache.
I wanted to give you a gift, but I don't know how it turned out like this.
Ruan Cunyun wanted to explain, but the mall was very noisy and it was inconvenient to talk, so Qin Fanglu said they should go back to the car and talk.
There is a small stall on the street outside the shopping mall, selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.
The autumn night is a bit chilly, and the warm and rich aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts tempts people, so a large crowd gathers around the stall.
Qin Fanglu noticed that Ruan Cunyun kept looking at the sugar-roasted chestnuts, so he said directly, "Let's go buy some too."
In a blink of an eye, a big bag of hot chestnuts was in his hands, but Ruan Cunyun was still in a daze.
Is there something wrong with eating sugar-roasted chestnuts on the roadside with Mr. CTO
The driver drove to pick them up, and Qin Fanglu asked Ruan Cunyun to get in the car: "Let's eat in the car."
The brown paper bag was filled with chestnuts, each one was plump and hot. Ruan Cunyun peeled the shells very slowly, but Qin Fanglu was faster than him. In the blink of an eye, he put a peeled chestnut in Ruan Cunyun's palm.
"Ah, Mr. Qin, I can peel it myself..."
"Why did you say you met me by chance? Why didn't you take my card?" Qin Fanglu stopped him and asked calmly.
When the fatal question came up, the question of whether it was right or not was immediately thrown aside.
Ruan Cunyun didn't notice that Qin Fanglu was peeling the shells with his hands.
He sorted out his thoughts, felt that his idea was correct, and began to explain slowly.
"Boss Qin, this is what I think. Mr. Cheng is your partner. If he sees you shopping with a boy at night, he will inevitably make some guesses. I'm afraid these guesses will affect your reputation."
Qin Fanglu understood a little bit, and asked with a serious look: "What would he guess?"
"Just... some not-so-good guesses." Ruan Cunyun stuttered, "After all, I don't know if Mr. Cheng has any requirements for the character of his partners. I'm not saying that there's something wrong with you. I mean, if rumors really spread, it won't be good for the company..."
Ruan Cunyun sat up straight: "So you can't buy clothes for me anymore. Although our relationship is innocent, I don't know what Mr. Cheng will think! If he sees you giving me your bank card, it will be a fact set in stone! You can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River."
"For example, what rumors? What facts?" Qin Fanglu asked.
Looking at Ruan Cunyun's ears that were turning red, Qin Fanglu said, "For example, Zhufang's CTO is a homosexual, and Qin Fanglu keeps a young boy as his mistress. Does Qin Fanglu spend money to buy things for his lover?"
Being pointed out directly, Ruan Cunyun nodded a little embarrassedly: "That's what I mean."
Qin Fanglu gently pressed Ruan Cunyun's shoulder and asked him to look directly at him. He said in a serious tone with a hint of anger: "Ruan Cunyun, who do you think you are?"
"That's not the case..." Ruan Cunyun was a little flustered, "I didn't think that much, I was just afraid that it would have a bad impact on you and the company."
Qin Fanglu felt a surge of
A burst of soreness and pain arose.
The kid is too sincere and always puts others first. If a colleague falls into the river, he will save him. If someone asks him to drink, he will drink it all. If he sees his boss in trouble, he will immediately try to avoid rumors.
How could he be so good? How could he be so kind
Qin Fanglu felt distressed. People who are too clear-minded are easily hurt.
Because they are used to treating the world with all their kindness, but they don’t know that more evil people will stab them in the back.
Ruan Cunyun's face was hidden in the speeding light and shadow. Qin Fanglu looked at him quietly, and an impulse gradually became difficult to suppress.
He wanted to pin him down in the car and kiss him fiercely on the lips.
But Qin Fanglu can't do that now.
"Cheng Kai is a very good friend of mine, so there is no need to worry about him misunderstanding, and there will be no rumors or anything like that," Qin Fanglu explained.
"Oh..." Ruan Cunyun nodded, "That's even better."
"But Ruan Cunyun, I have something to correct you on." Qin Fanglu looked at him seriously, "You must always put yourself first. No matter who you are or what happens, your first thought should never be to sacrifice yourself to save others."
Ruan Cunyun said "hmm" as if he understood something.
The car braked gently and arrived at the entrance of Ruan Cunyun's community.
"For example, today, you shouldn't have any thoughts like 'What if Mr. Cheng misunderstands that I'm Mr. Qin's sponsor?'" Qin Fanglu told him.
Ruan Cunyun listened carefully and felt a heavy bag placed in his palm.
When I looked down, I saw a whole bag of peeled chestnuts.
Golden and brilliant, with a fragrant aroma.
"Boss Qin..."
"Shh, listen to me. Do you know what you should think?" Qin Fanglu coaxed.
Ruan Cunyun became nervous for no reason: "What do you think?"
Qin Fanglu said in a calm voice: "You should think confidently that Qin Fanglu is your boyfriend and should accompany you shopping and help you pay."
Ruan Cunyun's breathing stopped suddenly, all words were blocked in his lungs, and his eyes slowly widened.
Qin Fanglu chuckled quickly: "I was just making an analogy. Anyway, the point is, never sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. As I said, don't care too much about what others think, your own feelings are the most important."
The man paused for a moment, and when he spoke again his voice was hoarse and it was hard to tell whether he was sincere or not.
"Sorry, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
