Gu Yanting's idea of buying a ticket to go back eventually came to nothing.
He called for leave on the front foot, and there was a problem with the back foot project.
Their company specializes in interior design, and this project was introduced by an old client. Gu Yanting worked in the company for three years, and the manager wanted to train him, so he asked him to bring the team over by himself, which was regarded as an experience for him. Chance.
Gu Yanting came with great ambitions. Who would have thought that within a day, the project client would change his mind, expressing dissatisfaction with their design and asking for a change of team.
Gu Yanting could only hold back the matter of going back, and first bring his assistant to coordinate with the other party. For a while, he couldn't care whether Tang Yi was in Mali or on a donkey. After several calls and no one answered, I could only frown and send a text message.
Gu Yanting was busy over there, and Tang Yi had a hard time here.
Soymilk's full name was Zhou Weiwei, and his father was Zhou Hao, who was driving in front of him.
Zhou Hao is Tang Yi's immediate boss and a member of ER's board of directors. However, Tang Yi works at the ER branch in T City, and usually meets with such a big boss no more than three times a year.
What's more, every time he goes to the meeting as the department manager of the branch company, he can only sit in the second lap far away when he is in the meeting place.
The inner circle is the company's top management. When meeting, they don't look sideways, and they don't even look at a subordinate like Tang Yi.
Therefore, Tang Yi faintly regretted the sentence "Mr. Zhou" that he blurted out.
After all, from Zhou Hao's puzzled look in the restaurant, he quickly understood that Zhou Hao didn't recognize him, or that he didn't recognize him at all. And his name not only reported his family, but also showed another unhappy thing.
He took care of the big boss's house - soy milk, oh no, it should be Zhou Weiwei's young master, who is begging for both hard and soft to go with him.
Tang Yi sighed silently in the back seat, but his face was still calm.
Zhou Hao was obviously here to pick up his son, and a child seat was installed in the back. Zhou Weiwei sat inside, his little hand still hooking Tang Yi's little finger. Timidly and curiously, he occasionally looked at Zhou Hao.
Although Zhou Hao had a displeased expression on his face, he politely communicated with Zhou Weiwei.
"Is your name Weiwei?" Zhou Hao glanced behind him from the rearview mirror, his eyes stopped for half a second on Tang Yi's caught little finger, and then moved away.
Zhou Weiwei nodded solemnly, "Yes, Dad."
Tang Yi: "..." It's too natural for the child to call his father, just like calling his uncle and auntie, he just opens his mouth. Tang Yi frowned, feeling that Zhou Weiwei's behavior was very cooperative, and even a little weird to please Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao didn't realize it, and hummed through his nose.
A few minutes later, Zhou Hao said again, "I didn't know your mother gave birth to you before, and she didn't notify me, so it was a bit late."
Tang Yiyin's phoenix eyes froze behind his eyes, and he turned his face calmly to look at Zhou Weiwei.
Three years... is this too late
It seemed that the boss was not being kind, and what he said sounded like an apology, but thinking about it carefully, he put all the blame on the woman.
Zhou Weiwei clenched Tang Yi's hand tightly, but still answered with a stern face.
"It's okay, Dad."
Tang Yi: "..."
Zhou Hao nodded again with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "Do you have another name, Soybean Milk?"
Zhou Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Yi, "Well..."
Next week, before Zhou Weiwei's "father" came out, Zhou Hao looked directly at Tang Yi from the rearview mirror with a half-smile.
"Black beans or soybeans?"
Zhou Weiwei was a little confused, and looked at Tang Yi with a blank face, obviously not understanding his father's problem.
In fact, Tang Yi looked gentle and honest, but he was also at a loss. For example, he called Weiwei Soybean Milk, not only because the advertisement was too brainwashed, but also because Zhou Weiwei's unreliable mother was a little black.
Black simplicity, black thoroughness.
When I saw Zhou Hao just now, Tang Yi was surprised, but at the same time he didn't forget to give the parents a combined name - "Coffee Milk".
Zhou Hao stared at Tang Yi from the rearview mirror, his gaze was a little hot, and when it was refracted by the rearview mirror, it was extremely lethal.
As soon as he can speak, he can hit the center of the problem, and Tang Yi has no chance to hide it.
He clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, pushed back Zhou Weiwei's curious little face with his big hand, and answered succinctly, "Black Bean."
Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows.
On the contrary, Zhou Weiwei was stunned for a while, then turned his head, "I'm not black..."
Tang Yi: "..."
Zhou Weiwei: "I'm numb and black..."
Zhou Hao drove all the way to a house in the suburbs with the corners of his mouth raised. Tang Yi took the child down, sent it to the entrance, and turned to leave. At the beginning, Soy Milk held him and he had no choice but to help coax the child over.
But at this moment, seeing the two men chatting about Ultraman and the little monster, Tang Yi knew that the bloodline thing had started to work.
Zhou Weiwei got out of the car and gathered up his jacket, Tang Yi let go of his hand and motioned Zhou Hao to take the child over.
"Mr. Zhou, I'll take my leave first." Seeing that Zhou Hao didn't respond, Tang Yi could only remind him.
Zhou Hao walked in front of him for a while, and looked back at him in surprise, "Are you going?"
Tang Yi blinked, not quite understanding.
Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Weiwei again, Tang Yi frowned, and heard Zhou Weiwei cry with a "wow", "Susu lied to me! Susu said he was with me..."
At first, the child did thunder and no rain, but then he really cried, "Susu, I'm afraid... Would you like to stay with me, just once..."
Zhou Hao also frowned and said, "The child is not familiar with me, please trouble Mr. Tang."
…
Tang Yi was neither stupid nor stupid. At first glance, he knew that the two men had reached a united front. The child held him and didn't let go. Tang Yi slid the back of his neck.
Tang Yi grew up eating hundreds of meals, and he was used to being a guest at other people's houses. Zhou Hao was obviously inexperienced in dealing with children, so after explaining the room and other places that Tang Yi might use, he went into the study on his own.
I waited for Tang Yi to wake up the next day to leave, but I didn't see Zhou Hao.
Fortunately, a nanny came to the house. Tang Yi explained Zhou Weiwei's usual preferences to the nanny. On the way back to the hospital, he found that his mobile phone had long been out of power.
After he returned to the hospital and was caught by the little nurse, he turned on the phone slowly and saw the text message Gu Yanting sent last night.
"Don't run around, it's not safe outside, eat well."
Tang Yi: "..."
The text message that didn't match the foreword left him speechless for a long time.
Tang Yi tapped on the screen with his fingers, and as soon as he entered two letters, he pressed the delete key for all of them.
Qiuhu has launched Yu Wei in the past two days. Tang Yi changed himself to a single room yesterday, and because of his good relationship with the medical staff, he deliberately chose a sunny ward.
At this moment, the noon sun hit him with impunity, and the golden light shone with majesty in the phoenix eyes exposed after he took off his glasses, and the fine long eyebrows were a little bit bright.
It's just that when he raised his eyes, in the calm black eyes, there was laziness and irritability that did not match the high-spirited surface.
It is quite in line with the atmosphere of this early autumn. Behind the prosperous enthusiasm, it is just a vain death struggle.
Tang Yi put the phone aside and slowly closed his eyes.
He and Gu Yanting said that the breakup was serious, but the latter's understanding of this was obviously not on the same level as his.
Tang Yi could even imagine that when he left his front foot, Gu Yanting could call his brothers in amazement on his back foot.
-Hey, Tang Yi told me to break up! Strange, right? Gee, that's weird...
This is also one of the points of contradiction between the two. What one party takes seriously may be unreasonable in the eyes of the other party.
In fact, Tang Yi couldn't tell whether the conflict between him and Gu Yanting was irreconcilable, whether it was because of their incompatibility with each other or because of Lin Rui's stab in the bone.
When Tang Yigang and Gu Yanting were together, they were both fresh graduates.
Gu Yanting was driven by the economic gap between him and Lin Rui to go into a rage, and he wanted to start a business.
Later, Gu's father and Gu's mother put together hundreds of thousands of dollars for him, and Tang Yi accompanied him home to get the money. When he saw the old couple, he didn't know why his heart was sour, and he cut off the money halfway.
That was the first time he intervened in Gu Yanting's affairs. He gave the money back to Gu's father. Gu's father was obviously relieved, but he was worried that his son would resent him because of it, and he was also afraid that his son would have nothing to do.
So Tang Yi found his friend again, put Gu Yanting into a design company, and asked his friend to draw a big cake for him. The main idea is to tell Gu Yanting how easy and comfortable this is, what a good job with money.
That was the second time he intervened in Gu Yanting's affairs.
Gu Yanting is not without complaints about this, but he, a wild horse, has repeatedly compromised with Tang Yi for some reason.
Tang Yi was very satisfied with this for a while, even a little proud.
Until one time, he accidentally saw an email from Gu Yanting.
The recipient is Lin Rui.
The content is very sensational, and the effect is summed up, that is: why don't you call back? Hey, do you need me somewhere? If you have it, just say it straight, Mr. I am working now, I can afford a lot of things, and I will give you what you want.
Hey, have you made a boyfriend yet? I do have one, but it's too much fucking control, he's everywhere, it's annoying. I don't like him, so I really want to finish it as soon as possible.
The last two sentences were like a fiery slap, and slapped Tang Yi's self-righteous face. Since then, these dozen or so words have been branded over and over in his mind, giving him no peace.
When is that
By the way, that was the day after they took the "wedding photo".
It's a bit ironic when I think about it now, Tang Yi's character is almost a deep-rooted person, and he will pay for it.
But he tolerated Gu Yanting carrying a knife and poking a hole in his heart, every poke is accurate.
He has endured hardships that his peers never thought about since he was a child, and it is inevitable that he is a little paranoid. However, he also received great kindness from the society—whether it was the kind and honest villager neighbors, or the teacher who secretly subsidized him every time he went to school, and earnestly encouraged his classmates, all of them allowed him to grow up unscrupulously and at the same time keep the bottom of his heart. The truest kindness.
Therefore, when Tang Yi felt that his heart was shattered by a sentence, he was far less sharp than the killing decision in the shopping mall.
He sighed and began to persuade himself: "Forget it, Tang Yi, why bother hanging your heart on someone's neck, making people feel fishy!"
He has always been in a certain degree of progress and retreat, and he hesitated repeatedly about breaking up.
Sometimes, when he heard Gu Yanting making phone calls to the other side of the ocean with his jet lag, he wanted to break up immediately and break up.
However, sometimes when he sees Gu Yanting smirking unguardedly at him, his deep eyes are full of his own reflection, he will feel that breaking up is simply a toss-up - compared to the small three and four around him, Gu Yanting is even mentally derailed. Not really.
Tang Yi didn't want to push himself too far. Sometimes he thinks that time may dilute everything, but time can't dilute it. If Lin Rui changes, maybe Gu Yanting doesn't like him.
So he knew that Lin Rui had dated several men at the same time, he knew about his poor performance in school, and when he knew about his money worship and promiscuity, he tested Gu Yanting's opinion.
The latter, however, showed unexpected understanding and sympathy.
"His family situation is a bit complicated..." Gu Yanting was full of heartache and guilt at the time, "In such a family, it is really distressing. He is not easy."
Tang Yi answered sarcastically, "You live in a pigsty and cry yourself all over the place?"
Gu Yanting frowned displeased.
Then after Lin Rui came back, he proved with his actual actions that he really didn't dislike Lin Ruisao, and he was happy with it.
The days of Tang Yi's leave of absence passed quickly. He didn't know how to respond to Gu Yanting, so he put it aside and didn't reply.
Gu Yanting also kept the same silence.
However, there are a lot of things in the company. As soon as the weekend came, assistant Xiao Yang called him.
"Manager Tang, on the 11th, our company organized a study at the headquarters, and it was notified that all the management would participate. I have sent the schedule to your email. Can you see which day is the right flight for me to book for you?"
ER has a wide variety of benefits, and organizes at least two trips a year, all in the name of learning. For example, the "study" on the 11th is the accommodation arranged from 9.28 to 9.30. The meeting is only open for half a day on the morning of the 29th.
Their head office is registered in Haikou. Although they have moved most of them to Shanghai after they have grown, meetings are usually held in Haikou. Hotels and air tickets will be reimbursed, but I will go wherever there is nothing wrong.
Before Tang Yi, as long as it was not a formal meeting, it was an excuse to push it away. Because he is the fastest climber among the various branches of ER. In the past two years, there has been a tendency for ER to be assigned to stand. If he shows up in such casual occasions, it is easy to be pulled to stand in line.
Standing in line is too delicate. Sometimes, just a glance or an excuse will be over-interpreted by the other party, and then you will be labeled as "enemy" or "me".
If you stay neutral, if you don't do it well, you will offend both sides. Tang Yi might as well be forced to participate this time, frowned, and said to Xiao Yang, "Let me see."
Xiao Yang responded and sent another list of the participants.
At the end, he ran into some corner and told Tang Yi somewhat mysteriously, "Manager Tang, that deputy manager Lin has come to work."
Tang Yi said, "Huh?"
Xiao Yang paused slightly and explained, "As soon as he came, he asked me to be an assistant, saying that anyway, since you are not here, the company hasn't given him a new one, so why don't you use me first."
Tang Yi chuckled lightly, "Then what?"
"I'll go," Xiao Yang said, "but when I scanned the document, I accidentally scanned a few more copies, and then sent it to your mailbox, which is the private mailbox you sent me photos last time."
When Xiao Yang was just working, he felt that it was a good idea to join the ER as an assistant. The young man boasted a few words when he was gathering with his friends. Once Tang Yi went to work, he ran into two girls who wanted to go in and look for Xiao Yang.
The company stipulates that no one except the general manager is allowed to receive private visitors during work hours. The two girls were stopped at the front desk, their faces turned red with embarrassment. Tang Yi smiled and relieved them, took a photo of them with the ER company logo, and praised Xiao Yang a few words on the way, and encouraged the little girl.
The private mailbox was left at that time.
Xiao Yang was still a little uneasy, "Manager Tang, I don't know if this will work... If I'm wrong, just scold me... "
Tang Yi sighed softly, "Well, don't do this in the future, just work hard, don't worry about such things in the future." He was silent for a while, and said, "It's not good for you."
The company has a distribution posture, Lin Rui airborne from the headquarters, and then fell directly to his department, obviously for himself.
Tang Yi had not participated in the standing team before, but now he was stabbed in the foot, but he still didn't know who took him as a thorn in his side. The first strike is strong and then the attack suffers. He can not move, but he cannot be passive.
Xiao Yang helped him a lot this time, but he also committed a major taboo in the workplace.
Xiao Yang repeatedly agreed, "Well, thank you Manager Tang."
The air ticket was still set for the morning of the 28th. Tang Yi simply packed a few clothes and set foot on the plane for a business trip.
The company arranged for them all standard rooms, one for two. Before, Tang Yi and Ning Zeyu were both in the same room. They were both managers of the marketing department. They were in charge of the first and second departments.
However, when he arrived at the hotel this time, he found that the name of the room with him was blank on the schedule.
Tang Yi squinted his eyes and greeted the female employee who handled the registration: "Help me check who else lives in 2408?"
"Okay, wait a moment..." The keyboard tapped twice, and said what Tang Yi didn't want to hear.
"It's Lin Ruilin, the deputy manager of T City."
