"oh."
Chu Xiangchen straightened his hair and quickly lowered his head to scroll through his phone.
He didn't know Chairman Jiang, let alone the chairman's eldest son.
…
Ningcheng.
"Mr. Xiaojiang—"
When they arrived at the golf course, Father Chu shook hands with Jiang Qingchi and said with a smile:
"I have long heard that Mr. Xiao Jiang is a hero among people. When I saw him today, he was really amazing. I really should let my unsatisfied son learn from Mr. Xiao Jiang. How come you are so young that you can think of Jiang Nian?" The branch is doing like a fish in water!"
Jiang Qingchi's eyes swept over Chu Xiangchen, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "Mr. Chu is too polite. Young Master Chu is not bad either."
Chu Xiangchen: "..."
How could he have thought that in such a small world, the big boss his father brought him to meet was actually Sister Yanzhu's ex-boyfriend? !
Damn it, if I had known it was him, why would I dress up carefully before coming here? How could I just come here in casual clothes and lose face in front of people wearing suits
"Come on, Xiang Chen, let me introduce you. This is the general manager of Jiang Nian Branch. I told you on the way that he is Chairman Jiang's eldest son. You should also call him Mr. Jiang."
Mr. Xiao Jiang
Shit.
Chu Xiangchen pursed his lips and squeezed out a voice from deep between his teeth, "Xiaojiang... shit."
The last word was spoken very quietly, but Chu's father still heard it. He raised his hand and hit Chu Xiangchen on the head.
"Bunny, what did you just say?"
Jiang Qingchi himself didn't care. He held his pocket with one hand and made a gesture of invitation with Chu's father.
"About the KS project, I still need to have a good discussion with Mr. Chu."
"Haha, now that Chairman Jiang has entrusted you with a project as big as KS, in the future this huge Jiang Nian Group will definitely belong to Mr. Xiao Jiang."
"My father's achievements are his own and have nothing to do with me. As for my share, they have nothing to do with him either."
Jiang Qingchi's words indirectly showed that he was sitting in this position all by himself, and Jiang Beiyuan did not give him a back door.
Chu's father laughed heartily after hearing this. Sure enough, he was still too young. Although he was mature and majestic, he still lacked a bit of fire and was not as calm as his father.
"Stability" is a natural character and a kind of practice. Some people are mature but unstable because their character is not yet reached. Jiang Qingchi's eyebrows are still a bit unruly and unruly. At the age of a handsome young man, he is still flamboyant. A stubborn young man.
Chu Xiangchen watched Jiang Qingchi and his father walk away.
He followed the two of them and glanced at Jiang Qingchi's back with disdain and jealousy.
In terms of appearance, he doesn't think he loses to Jiang Qingchi.
but-
There is a kind of person who exudes confidence in his bones and has a spontaneous temperament, which has nothing to do with appearance.
He didn't want to admit that he was sour, even though this man had a much better temperament than him from head to toe.
…
Jiang Qingchi is a good golfer.
When I was young, I played golf with Jiang Beiyuan several times. He was very talented and gifted. His swing was standard and his ball flew very far.
Chu's father stood aside and praised him. This flattering attitude made Chu Xiangchen very uncomfortable.
He can also play golf!
"Mr. Xiao Jiang, do you want to compete with me?"
Jiang Qingchi's narrow eyebrows glanced over, and his two heroic eyebrows had a resolute arc.
He raised his lips slightly, and the corners of his lips concealed a bit of cold emotion, "Solo match or match hole?"
"W-what stuff?"
Isn't it just playing ball and seeing who can hit it farther
Father Chu couldn't stand it anymore, lowered his head and scolded his son: "Can you not embarrass me when you go out?"
Chu Xiangchen waved his hands impatiently and looked at Jiang Qingchi: "What is stroke play and what is match play? I don't understand. I'm not ashamed to ask. Please explain it to me, Xiao Jiang."
"The stroke play is better."
Jiang Qingchi didn't give him a single glance. He had a stunning face and a very stiff expression. "Play eighteen holes, add up all the scores, and determine the outcome based on the total score."
"Okay! Come on then!"
He came on the field with high spirits, but came off the field disgraced.
It's hard for Chu Xiangchen to be so full of fighting spirit, but how can a novice who doesn't even know the rules expect a miracle to defeat Jiang Qingchi in one fell swoop
Chu Xiangchen was unconvinced. He didn't know golf, and he had other strengths. "Does Xiao Jiang know how to do archery?"
"shut up!"
Father Chu punched his son unceremoniously, then faced Jiang Qingchi with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, my son can't speak and doesn't understand rules. Mr. Xiao Jiang, don't give him any common sense."
"It's okay, I just have free time today, so I can play with Master Chu."
Jiang Qingchi took off his suit jacket, revealing a cyan shirt. He had a good figure, with a typical inverted triangle figure, like a walking clothes rack.
Chu Xiangchen's figure is not bad either. He is the same height as Jiang Qingchi, both are 185cm tall.
When they arrived at the archery range next door, Chu Xiangchen and Jiang Qingchi stood on the same level.
Chu Xiangchen held the bow in his left hand, stood with his feet open, tightened the arm holding the bow, lowered his shoulders, aimed at three o'clock and one line, and then pulled the bow string back to the full bow point -
Let go.
Arrows shoot through nine rings.
How about it, awesome, right
Xiao Chu was very proud, raised his chin proudly, and showed off to Jiang Qingchi next to him.
Jiang Qingchi looked steadily, holding a bow and arrow. There was no trace of nervousness on his face, let alone an expression of exertion. His resolute jawline and corners of his lips formed a perfect arc.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and in an instant, Li Xian's arrow hit a link.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chu Xiangchen burst out laughing from the depths of his dantian.
"Only one ring? Mr. Xiao Jiang, you are a hottie!"
“…”
Jiang Qingchi's expression did not change. He held the bow and nocked an arrow again. His left hand holding the bow moved slightly, and the arrow in his hand shot out with a confident look on his face.
The second arrow missed the arrow on the target in front perfectly.
Chu Xiangchen's smile froze on his face.
"You, are you playing with me?"
“…”
Jiang Qingchi shot the third arrow.
Like Chu Xiangchen, he shot the nine rings.
Only then did Jiang Qingchi look at him, with sharp brows and a hint of scorn, "Are you coming again?"
"Of course! Come again!"
…
Xiao Chu was extra cautious this time, maintaining the posture of drawing the bow, his fingers were stiff, and it took a long time before he dared to shoot the arrow.
God was kind to him and allowed him to hit the bull's-eye this time, which was the tenth ring.
"Yes!!!"
He raised his eyebrows arrogantly towards Jiang Qingchi, and his smile was a little flat, "How about it, can Xiao Jiang always hit the tenth ring?"
Jiang Qingchi nocked the arrow with a calm expression, his eyes following the arrow and aiming at the target.
He glanced sideways and remained in this posture without moving, his two thin lips parted slightly, "What is your relationship with her?"
They both knew who she was.
"Want to know? If you beat me, I'll tell you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qingchi, who was standing next to him just now, suddenly moved behind Chu Xiangchen with lightning speed. The arrowhead stained with chilly chill rubbed Chu Xiangchen's neck like that. And came out, shooting steadily on the bullseye.
That was Chu Xiangchen's arrow target.
Ten rings, two arrows, tightly attached to each other.
Chu Xiangchen's face suddenly turned pale, and for the first time in his life, he felt how close he was to death.
Just now.
Such a close distance, only about one centimeter to the touch.
Jiang Qingchi's thin lips brushed against the tip of Chu Xiangchen's ear, and his eyes were no longer polite, but sharp and cold:
"I don't care what your relationship is now. Remember what I told you last time. She is mine. You can't touch her."
…
On the way back, Chu Xiangchen sat in the back seat of the car, saying nothing and looking out the window blankly.
But Chu's father smiled and said, "What did Mr. Xiao Jiang whisper to you just now?"
"Whisper?! Dad, didn't you see he almost shot me to death just now!"
"when?"
Father Chu said that he did not notice it.
Chu Xiangchen snorted and waved his hands, "Forget it, it's nothing."
"Oh, yes, do you know Mr. Xiao Jiang?"
"I don't know him! I'm not familiar with him! I hate him! Stop asking!"
Father Chu: "..."
…
It started to rain again in Licheng.
At the end of summer, the lingering raindrops are tainted with the coolness of autumn, and there is inexplicably a trace of sadness like cooking wine in a cold house.
Mu Yanzhu brought an umbrella, so she didn't rush home as some of the work at hand had not been completed.
"Editor-in-Chief, aren't you leaving yet?"
"You go ahead, I'll be busy for a while."
"Thank you to the editor-in-chief for your hard work."
Several employees quickly held umbrellas and left.
After a while, the security guard came upstairs and knocked on the door of Mu Yanzhu's office.
"Editor-in-Chief, aren't you off work yet?"
"I'll be busy for a while, why don't you go first and just give me the key."
"Um... But there is a young man downstairs, holding an umbrella and waiting for the editor-in-chief."
Mu Yanzhu sighed and rubbed his forehead. Why is that boy Chu Xiangchen so stubborn
"Didn't I tell you to drive him away?"
"It's not that young man this time. I think he's more handsome than that Xiao Chu."
Mu Yanzhu pursed her lips slightly.
The security uncle thought she didn't understand, so he scratched his head and said, "Editor-in-chief, I haven't gone to school for a few years, and I don't have as much ink as you. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, he is quite handsome. If that young man If you put it on the production team, it will definitely be at the level of the production team."
"Okay, I know who it is."
Mu Yanzhufu sighed again, his eyebrows lowered, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
The security guard spread his hands, "Are you going to drive him away, or...?"
"There's no need to drive this away."
"Yes, I understand. The editor-in-chief thinks he is handsome."
"No, he is just a scoundrel and you can't get rid of him."
"oh."
The security guard left.
Mu Yanzhu packed her things and quickly got up and left.
At the door of the magazine, a young man wearing dark clothes stood at the door, holding a large dark green umbrella. His eyes never moved from Mu Yanzhu's face from the moment he saw her.
Mu Yanzhu opened her umbrella. Under the rain and mist, her hair was soft and her skin was even whiter against the white coat. This scene had the delicacy and charm of a Jiangnan water town.
Jiang Qingchi kept looking at her.
She did not disappoint him, she ignored him completely and walked in the opposite direction, which meant taking a long detour.
Thinking back to the time when she had a quarrel, whenever she met him on the road, she would take a long detour. Even if she walked twice the distance, she didn't want to walk on the same road as him.
Jiang Qingchi walked forward in a few steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, "Is Chief Editor Mu so afraid of me?"
"No, I'm rushing home to cook."
"Who are you cooking for?"
"Eat for myself."
"If you don't consider getting married, do you want to make it for your husband?"
"..." Mu Yanzhu didn't reply.
Jiang Qingchi glanced at her and smiled, "Well, you have to invite me to your magazine when you have time. I am Party A now."
"Forget it, my magazine is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like President Xiao Jiang."
"Chief Editor Mu, who makes millions a year, is still so humble?"
"How much have you investigated me?"
"It's not an investigation, it's an understanding."
What a good understanding.
When the rain stopped, Mu Yanzhu closed his umbrella and realized that he had gone further and further. This was not the way home.
Looking at Jiang Qingchi next to her, she smiled playfully, as if she had already known that she would take a long detour and that this was not her way home.
He has really changed, and he doesn't laugh too wildly anymore.
Her heart ached, and she didn't want to ask him anything, so she just walked forward, thinking about taking a taxi back.
A huge pool appeared in front of it, with a large wooden boat in the middle. The water flowed slowly, and the fountains around it burst out with dark blue water. The flowing water in the middle made money, and the surrounding water formed a smooth path. It had the charm of lotus growing every step of the way. .
Mu Yanzhu walked over, put the umbrella at her feet, and looked at the colorful fountain.
"Does it look good?"
Jiang Qingchi put his hands behind his head and leaned against the fountain, face to face with her.
She was looking at the fountain and he was looking at her.
Mu Yanzhu hummed: "It's beautiful. I didn't know there was such a beautiful place in Licheng."
"I do not care."
"What?"
"I don't care whether Li Cheng is beautiful or not, or how big your magazine is, or how much your annual income is."
He looked into her eyes, through the light of the fountain, as if tiny pieces had fallen into them.
Mu Yanzhu heard the man's voice in front of her speak loudly:
"Jiang Yan, I only care about how much suffering you have suffered in the past three years."
With the crispness trickling through his ears, his voice was so pure, like the sound of nature.
Mu Yanzhu's eyes were sore, "Then why were you so desperate three years ago?"
"Three years ago, I should have supported you, but I also want to thank the naive me three years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered that I love you so much."
"Jiang Yan, I don't regret the three years I didn't contact you, really."
Why
Why don't you regret it
Why
She wanted him to tell her the reason, but he said nothing more, just smiled and handed her the umbrella in his hand.
"Go a mile ahead. There is a taxi waiting for you. I have paid for it. He will take you home safely."
After saying that, Jiang Qingchi left.
Three years ago, it was also this shocking glimpse of his back.
He walked away easily, but left her with scars on her heart for three years.
He just said, I only care about how much suffering you have suffered in the past three years.
But Jiang He, I only care about whether you live a happy life or not.
All I care about is whether you will always be that unruly boy, with the most sincere thoughts, the clearest feelings, and the sunniest smile.
"If you are not happy, why come to me, silly Jianghe."
She knew he couldn't hear this sentence.
Because people who have gone far never look back immediately.
