Break-up

Chapter 41: roll roll roll! Gu Yanting, get out of here

Views:

The living room is very clean. It was very late last night when Tang Yi slowly finished taking a bath. When he came out, the lights in the living room were also turned off. Now he closed the door behind Zhou Hao, and when he turned around, he found that the living room was being Packed up.

The floor is clean and tidy, the materials and papers that were stacked on the coffee table and the pile of beer cans next to the coffee table are gone. There is also a small potted plant with greenery on the TV cabinet, with a white spathe standing beautifully inside. . Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was a smooth sailing plant that he had placed in the corner.

The winter sun shone down from the corner of the balcony and stretched all the way to Tang Yi's feet. The moment he turned around, he was a little dazed, and then quickly recovered. After letting Zhou Hao sit down on the sofa, he went into the bedroom without saying a word.

This little accidental discovery made Tang Yi's tense heart relax a little.

In fact, he doesn't want to see Zhou Hao now. Tang Yi felt a little irritable in his heart, not to mention that according to Zhou Hao's style, this conversation was mostly another form of persuasion. The latter stubbornly believed that he was right and that he was older. In addition to his richer life experience, his success in the market is also more than Tang Yi's. But now that people have come, Tang Yi doesn't want to do anything to avoid it.

Gu Yanting was still sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, but his eyes were staring at the boss. Tang Yi took the door and threw him a silent gesture and then ignored him. He took a set of clothes from the closet and quickly changed them.

Gu Yanting really cooperated very well, keeping his mouth closed the whole time, but watching Tang Yi's movements without blinking. When Tang Yi was about to open the door after getting dressed, he leaned forward eagerly and asked in a very low voice, "Are you going out?"

Tang Yi glanced at him and didn't want to speak.

Gu Yanting obviously had to be more cautious. He stretched out his arm and pulled Tang Yi's clothes off. After he took two steps back, he said slowly, "I'll be here waiting for you to come back. But I'm going back in the afternoon, tomorrow morning. I have a very important meeting to attend…”

When Tang Yi heard this, he put down his glasses and turned to leave, but Gu Yanting rushed forward again and whispered, "Anyway, why don't you have a meal with me..."

The quilt was pulled off a little during the dawdling, and when Tang Yi turned his face impatiently, he happened to see half of his bare chest. Before Gu Yanting could react, he saw Tang Yi suddenly smiled coldly, came over and gave him a condescending look, "I'm so capable, eh? Nude?"

When Gu Yanting got into the quilt and rolled quickly to the diagonal line, Tang Yi closed the door and left. Gu Yanting breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be grateful for the colleague who came to find Tang Yi.

There's nothing wrong with sleeping naked, it's just that sleeping naked means his hormonal imbalance is going to be animalistic. He didn't dare to touch Tang Yi last night, but it didn't delay him smelling Tang Yi's scent across two quilts. Intoxicated for half the night. Tang Yi guessed it by looking at him. If it wasn't for someone outside, he would probably be able to kick him off the bed on the spot.

Gu Yanting happily lay on the side where Tang Yi had slept, and tutted when he heard the sound of the door closing. I liked this "colleague" who appeared at the right time. Of course, when he killed him, he didn't expect that the other party was Zhou or something that he cursed and reviled countless times last night.

Zhou Hao drove to the door of a cafe before stopping, and the two walked in one after the other. Tang Yi sent a text message to Ning Zeyu between his orders, telling him that he had something to go out, and he would see him at the company in the afternoon. The waiter just left when he put down the phone, Zhou Hao turned to look at him, the corners of his lips were smiling and his face was gentle, no different from two years ago.

Tang Yi suddenly remembered that when the two first met, Zhou Hao was waiting for him across the road. The two were not familiar with each other at that time. In the following two years of getting along, Zhou Hao has been kind to him far beyond the scale of the relationship between the two. In all fairness, the difference between them is too great, and it is difficult to equalize each other's contributions. Tang Yi's material rewards are not what Zhou Hao wants, and the latter is not short of the three gold and two silver, but Zhou Hao will always Accept it solemnly, after all, it is just to give Tang Yi peace of mind.

He said that he would not persecute Tang Yi, and he really did what he said. He rarely asked for anything in the past two years. If you look at it as a bystander, Zhou Hao has always suffered more.

Tang Yi sat quietly across from him, and waited until the waiter brought the coffee and dessert before the silence between the two was broken.

Zhou Hao pointed to the butter cookies in the plate and said, "I just learned this before your birthday, so I made a box for you, and I still keep it at home."

Tang Yi hummed, and after a while, said thank you again.

Zhou Hao looked at him and said helplessly, "Don't be so polite, I know you are still angry about the company, and I came to you today to make things clear. After all, we can't be for some unnecessary misunderstandings. that creates a divide.”

He paused and said, "I get along with you purely out of selfishness, and there is no official factor in it. It is true that we have often discussed the company's affairs in the past two years, but I did not put any words on it. Tell others, including my father."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

Zhou Hao looked calm, and when he looked over, he added in a moderate manner, "And you know, with such a company's scale, I have absolutely no need to do it myself."

Tang Yi's brows jumped, and after he finished speaking, he nodded silently for a while, "You're right. But it doesn't make any difference."

"Two days before my birthday, you were making cookies, but I was drinking with me."

He drank the coffee in the cup and waited for the bitter and sour taste after the deep roasting to slowly dissipate, then smiled and continued: "Before the Hua Yuan incident was exposed, the two engineers had already left without saying goodbye. The company almost fell into chaos. The company's organizational structure is not clear and the staffing is not balanced for a long time. I have had a good life in the past two years and I am used to it step by step. According to the plan, these hidden dangers can be gradually eliminated at the beginning of next year, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong at the last juncture. My first reaction at the time was regret. I regretted that I had not listened to the advice of the old employees and reformed earlier, and I regretted that I was arrogant.”

The atmosphere in the cafe was peaceful, and Tang Yi's tone was also very flat. Zhou Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he let him continue.

"So I planned for the worst from the beginning, and then I visited the most critical companies one by one with Lao Ning. I drank it in those days... Usually five people and six people go to the company to pretend to be big tails. Wolf, as soon as the client said that he was free, he immediately shook his head and waved his tail to become a grandson. Except for drinking, that is, those begging words that I thought I would never say again. You don't know how happy I was when Shen Fan handed this company over to me, In fact, it's not for anything else, just to be the boss, and you don't have to look at people's faces anymore."

Zhou Hao's mood was a little complicated at that moment. He hesitated for a long time and finally didn't know what to say. He could only promise, "Follow me, you will never have to look at anyone's face again."

"..." Tang Yi looked at him for a moment, then smiled, "No, I still have to look at you."

Zhou Hao: "..."

Tang Yi sighed and asked him: "Your premise is that we are not hostile. As long as there is a conflict of interest between us, do you choose me or the company."

Zhou Hao was silent for a while, and finally said, "... Things are not black and white, there will always be other solutions."

"Oh?" Tang Yi turned his head to look at him, "Then take a step back, if according to what you said, if I take a job in your company, whether you are in compensation or other, the position given to me will definitely not be low. But Zhou Hao , Your company must be monolithic? There is no interest camp? If there is, how can you be sure that I must be on your side? "

"...You can stand on the opposite side," Zhou Hao sighed, "Generally speaking, it is me who wins in the end. Even if I am unfortunately defeated by you, it is because I am inferior to others, and I will not have any opinion on you. "

"That's you, not me." Tang Yi shook his head, "If I lose, I'll definitely be angry, and if I lose in battle, I can't guarantee that I won't become angry and have evil thoughts. You and I are in the same bed, so I'm not afraid of me. In a fit of rage, in the middle of the night, take a knife to open your scoop?"

This sentence was a bit rude, but it made the atmosphere relaxed. Zhou Hao shook his head with a smile, Tang Yi stared at him for a while, and finally said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't have the courage to be with you."

"… "

Zhou Hao's fingers holding the coffee cup trembled invisibly. He lowered his eyes and took a sip without putting the cup down for a long time.

Their acquaintance was a little romantic. A mature and stern man went to pick up his stray son. After an unpleasant meeting with his son's mother, he met a gentle man who was wearing a beige gabardine trench coat with a corner of his lips. Squatting there with a smile, he slowly wiped away a little dust from the child's face with his thumb.

They have reservations about each other, but they are also trying to approach cautiously. In the past two years, he has changed a bit. After quitting the habit of hunting in South Africa, he donated the tens of thousands of dollars to a broadcaster in the United States aiming to expose such behavior. Tang Yi also inadvertently gave him a lot of privileges, prepared gifts for his parents, family members and even the housekeeper, and talked with him on many topics in a warm voice.

However, they couldn't go on. The difference in the concept of status disparity is one of the reasons, and the more fundamental reason is that they do not have the courage and courage to give absolutely. While trying to gain feelings, they have been bargaining for what they are about to sacrifice.

Tang Yi's lunch was a bowl of instant noodles in the office.

When Xiao Yang brought the noodles over, he brought two tea eggs bought from a convenience store in one piece, Tang Yi gave him a surprised look, but Xiao Yang smiled at him thiefly, "I read a book that said , eat more egg yolks to help improve the aura or smell, in a word, it is to increase personal charm and attract peach blossoms... "

Ning Zeyu protested with a sullen face on the side, and asked him why I didn't have it. It's because the treatment is a bit bad. I also need some peach blossoms and cherry blossoms. In the winter, I'm still alone in the bed...

Xiao Yang opened his eyes wide and said that it was the last two.

The two talked about making trouble. When Tang Yi heard that there was a person in the bed, his face turned suspiciously red, and he silently gave Ning Zeyu one.

"Hey, Old Tang is still funny," Ning Zeyu didn't notice anything unusual, after a few mouthfuls, he leaned over to Tang Yi's side, "Ma Sinian and Wang Xiangming are missing, I haven't heard of it yet. To verify, it is estimated that these two people want to delay the dance for a while."

Ma Sinian and Wang Xiangming have a high status in the company and at the same time are in charge of the company's core technology, so they were required to sign a confidentiality and non-compete agreement when they first arrived at the subsidiary. According to relevant regulations, both of them are not allowed to work in related industries for two years after they leave their jobs. During this period, ER will give them a certain amount of compensation, but if these two people do such a thing, how dare they come back and ask for it. Most of them want to avoid the limelight, and then quietly find a good position in which company.

Tang Yi nodded, his eyes gradually cold, "Where's Yan Ke?"

"I also found out a little about this..." Ning Zeyu hesitated, looking around. Tang Yi knew his concerns and patted him on the shoulder, "Eat first, then go to my office and talk."

After the two of them had eaten in the lounge, a figure flashed out from the tea room beside them as soon as they left their forefoot.

Ning Zeyu and Tang Yi went back to the office to take a look, and after closing the door, he frowned and said, "Yan Ke's matter is a bit difficult, we are just guessing now, we haven't got any evidence to prove that he accepted bribes, It's a bit difficult to apply for judicial intervention now. And now that this kid can act like he's nothing to do, it always makes me feel a little evil."

Tang Yi nodded, he closed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapped on the armrest rhythmically, after a while he suddenly opened his eyes and asked Ning Zeyu thoughtfully, "Tell me, if you find it Yan Ke's evidence, what will you do?"

"Me? Of course I killed this thing!" Ning Zeyu sneered, "Not only him, Hua Yuan also has to run, we have to drag it to lose three layers of skin even if we can't stand it! What do you think?"

"I thought so too," Tang Yi pondered for a while, "but now I have changed my mind."

Tang Yi and Ning Zeyu kept discussing in the office until very late. During this period, the company's management staff were constantly being called in and out. Everyone looked solemn, as if they had accepted some sacred mission when they came out. , the curvature of the corners of the mouth is almost the same.

When he finally got off work, Tang Yi received a phone call from a fellow boss. He and Ning Zeyu were both happy, and they went to the club designated by the other party without having dinner.

Now for the company, the biggest trouble is not Huayuan itself, but a series of follow-up reactions provoked by this incident. Now that the new year is the time to collect payment, there are many people who want to delay payment at this time. The Huayuan incident just provides a reasonable excuse for everyone. What's more, there are other large and small companies that cooperate with er for the first time, and their trust is limited, and now they will make various requirements even for the sake of insurance.

Tang Yi was too late to find someone temporarily, and finally and Ning Zeyu had an idea and simply found a colleague. Deciding to outsource these operations is easier said than done. If er wants others to take action, he has to sell part of the benefits. At this time, it is inevitable to be robbed and robbed. They not only cannot earn money, but also pay high commissions for their own employees.

In addition, the cooperation model is also difficult to determine. Outsourcing is difficult to explain to customers. Not to mention, it will lose a lot of hard-earned customers.

In addition, large-scale business outsourcing will also break some balances in the industry, and it is unknown whether it will lead to counterattacks from other forces.

The war-thirsty factor in Tang Yi's blood was finally stimulated, and he resolutely split the road. He didn't plan to back down from the beginning, but chose to throw all the money and fight to the death for a Jedi counterattack, even if the fish died, the net would be broken.

His target was Hua Yuan at first, but later realizing that someone was manipulating him, he patiently waited for the other party to show his fangs.

It's just a thousand calculations, I didn't expect the other party to be Zhou Dongchuan and Zhou Hao.

The question that Tang Yi asked Zhou Hao today did not get a clear answer in the end - if I and the company choose one or the other, you choose me or the company.

In fact, no matter which one Zhou Hao chooses, Tang Yi will randomly tell him, so do I. If you choose the company, then don't blame me for turning my face and mercilessly retaliating. If you choose me, then I will pay for the company to put you first.

It is difficult for adult men and women to have a pure relationship without any interest. Everyone's love capital is nothing more than money and body. These are the economic basis. Zhou Hao asked for both, and Tang Yi asked for nothing.

Tang Yi and Ning Zeyu had been talking to the boss late at night, and only separated when it was nearly eleven o'clock. When he got into the car, he suddenly thought, Gu Yanting has already left.

The bright lights in the city never seem lonely, but after eleven o'clock, the light intensity of the street lights will decrease, and most of the lights in the residential area are quiet and extinguished.

Some loneliness is always inadvertently revealed, and then raging growth. There are very few people in this world who are absolutely lonely. Girls always have three or two best friends, and men often have brothers and friends. If you are in a good mood, see each other and make trouble. You spend money to eat and eat. With new things occupying the line of sight, you are not alone.

But Tang Yi is difficult to do. In addition to the label word orphan, he also carried a homosexual on his back. In order to avoid criticism and keep a distance from others, he also circled a vacuum for himself, where no one approached or cared about it.

The taxi was driving slowly on Jianghuai Road, Tang Yi put his arm on the window, and after a while he said an address that he hadn't mentioned for a long time.

After arriving at the place, he thanked the driver and walked very slowly every step of the way. After he finished climbing the stairs and walked to the door that he slammed down two years ago, Tang Yi was a little dazed. He thought, "Why am I here?"

After standing for a while, I couldn't think of an answer, but I just wanted to see.

There was a place for a spare key on the flower stand at the door. Tang Yi reached out and touched it but couldn't find it. When he was about to withdraw his hand in disappointment, his fingertips felt a little cold.

The key is still there.

When he opened the door, he inserted it a few times before aligning it with the keyhole. All the nervousness and inexplicable anxiety dissipated at the moment when the door was opened.

The entrance was still the same. Outside the shoe cabinet were two pairs of striped cotton slippers, one gray and one white, which were the pair he and Gu Yanting often wore. Tang Yi took a slow breath, and saw the living room with the same layout as before by the light reflected in the corridor. Not even the location of the edge has changed.

Tang Yi stood at the door for a long time, but finally did not go in. After locking the door, he put the key back.

When he returned to the apartment, Fanfan was already waiting at the door. After opening the door, Tang Yi touched its head, filled it with water and cleaned up the dog toilet. I didn't even have the strength to take a shower after my work. Gu Yanting didn't even leave a note, it came and went like a gust of wind, Tang Yi suddenly looked at the green plants on the TV cabinet, which became more and more unpleasant to the eye, and threw the potted flower back into the corner before wiping his face. sleep.

The quilt on the bed was not folded, Tang Yi scolded Gu Yanting secretly, sighed and lay down on his back.

There was a muffled sound on the back of his head, Tang Yi didn't know what he was lying on, and he bounced up instantly in pain. When he turned on the light, he was startled, and after three seconds of staring at the man who was baring his teeth and covering the back of his head, he was no longer angry.

"Go go! Gu Yanting, go down!"
