Spring has arrived, but the weather has not warmed up much, and the capital has been cloudy and rainy for several days. Lu Yuan looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, and found that the pouring rain had no intention of stopping, so he could not help frowning secretly.
Guo Kang has been paying attention to her, and when he saw this, he approached him diligently,
"Didn't you bring an umbrella? I drove the car, or I'll take you home."
Lu Yuan dug out the documents he wanted to copy in the afternoon, politely refused, and said without raising his head,
"Thank you, I have an umbrella."
On rainy days, there are vendors selling umbrellas with small carts everywhere. The big deal is to buy one when they get off work, or rent them back.
Lu Yuan was always indifferent, she could see that Guo Kang was interested in herself, and he was more indifferent than others, but she couldn't pick out any faults on the surface. It's lunch time now. The company has a cafeteria, and Lu Yuan usually eats there. When she was about to reach the elevator, she overheard a few female staff members whispering at the corner of the corridor.
"The project of Huangyi Impression was negotiated from the beginning to be handed over to Yueke. As a result, Vice Chairman Huo signed a contract with Fuhai ahead of time. You didn't see it. Today, the chairman's face is all black, tsk tsk tsk, I My hands are shaking when I go in and serve coffee."
"Fuhai's reputation is not as good as that of Yueke. Some time ago, there was an accident in their house, and the media reported it. The stock fell like a parabola. Although the vice chairman is the chairman's uncle, he can't act like this. Just signed the contract, what should I do when something goes wrong."
"Who said it wasn't? I heard from Brother Lian Dong a few days ago that the vice chairman seems to have bought back the shares in Mr. Yan's hands at a high price in private, and that's the number."
The female clerk stretched out her hand to compare the number, causing her companion to push her with a smile,
"Okay, I know that Chen Liandong is chasing you, but you don't have to make up such nonsense. Where did the vice chairman get so much money to be a big bait, he has been away from the Huo family for many years, so he just pays dividends from stocks. It's not enough."
Chen Liandong is Huo Yuanguang's assistant. Lu Yuan has been in the company for a few days, and he can probably get a clear picture of the situation. At present, the company is vaguely divided into two sides, one side is the new faction represented by Huo Mingcheng, and the other is the old school represented by Huo Yuanguang.
Huo Mingcheng's methods are vigorous and resolute, but his eyes cannot be rubbed. Under the drastic reform, it will inevitably touch the interests of some veterans. Huo Yuanguang is used to being a good person. The abacus is also unknown.
Lu Yuan told Lu Qi the news word for word, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling that the rich and powerful family had many grievances.
How could Huo Mingcheng hadn't heard of the things that the employees below knew, but Huo Yuanguang, an old fox, was really cunning, so people couldn't grasp it. If there is a problem with the joint project with Fuhai, not only Huo's reputation will be damaged, but even his chairman will be to blame.
Secretary Li said,
"Huo's and Yueke are also old friends who have been working together for several years. If they don't sign a contract with them, it will inevitably hurt. Moreover, when Mr. Fuhai passed away, his sons had a lot of trouble. The vice chairman is in such a hurry to finalize the contract, I am afraid that he is uneasy and kind."
Huo Mingcheng had the intention to rescind the contract, but the teacher was unknown, and it was inevitable that people would criticize him. After thinking for a moment, he already had a decision in his heart.
"Have a meeting in the afternoon, and then make an appointment with the general agent of Yueke for me. In addition, I will hand over the project of Huangyi Impression to the vice chairman, and the funds will be relaxed. You secretly find someone to keep an eye on it, and don't make any loopholes. ."
Blocking is worse than sparse, and it is also a good trick to lead snakes out of their holes.
Lu Qi remembered that Huo Mingcheng seemed to have died in a traffic accident on his way to talk business in his last life. According to the time, it was almost two days, but how to save people was a problem.
This week is the group class time of the Finance Department. Huo Mingchen glanced outside the window and saw Lu Qi with his work card and a group of people patrolling the class. The man is restrained and elegant, with a pair of thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. After thinking about it, it seems that only the words "sweet scum" can describe him.
Huo Mingchen calmed himself down with an expressionless face. He really didn't like the feeling that his possessions were coveted by others. Even though Lu Qi didn't respond to anyone, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Lu Qi didn't leave, he left the team and stood at the back door to wait for him to finish class. As soon as Huo Mingchen came out, he saw him leaning against the wall and waiting bored. Probably this pose showed long legs for both men and women, no wonder those girls always praised him as a model.
Huo Mingchen walked in front of him, took off his glasses, put them in his hands and played with them for a while, and said condescendingly,
"Brother Lu, you are so graceful."
Lu Qi stood up straight, expressing concern about his literary level,
"That's for a woman."
After speaking, he reached out and wanted to take the glasses, but Huo Mingchen avoided him. The other party tapped his shoulder and concluded,
"Wear glasses to be handsome."
"A handsome man is handsome in everything."
Seeing that the crowd was waiting for the elevator, the two of them took a detour and went straight to the stairs. Lu Qi patted Huo Mingchen on the head, and his cool fingertips froze the back of his neck, explaining,
"Lately staying up late to look at the computer, I'm a little short-sighted."
Huo Mingchen never had any good words in his mouth. He hid his glasses behind his back with his hands behind his back, and then used his elbow to poke Lu Qi's lower abdomen under the cover of his clothes, squinting his eyes and saying maliciously,
"You stay up all night watching porn, you're full of waste."
Lu Qi subconsciously said,
"I won't allow you to insult yourself like this."
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a second. When he looked up, he saw Huo Mingchen holding up his phone and smiling, as if he had planned it.
"I can record it. It turns out that you are full of me. If you love so deeply, you should have said it earlier."
Lu Qi stopped talking, and went downstairs at a quicker pace.
"It's the first time I'm so happy to see someone being scolded as trash."
Youth is a book that is too rushed. Lu Qi never opened it in time and put it on the shelf. When he remembered it, it was already covered with a thick layer of dust. The rain had not stopped outside, the air had a slightly damp smell of mud, and the smooth stone steps were covered with a layer of stagnant water. For some reason, he suddenly stopped and looked behind him.
Huo Mingchen seemed to have lost his strength from laughing. He covered his lower abdomen and slowly went downstairs. Seeing Lu Qi looking over, he accelerated his pace and ran down again, his voice still carrying a smile that could not dissipate in the future.
"It's also the first time I'm so happy to be called trash."
He raised his hand to put on Lu Qi's glasses, and the latter bowed his head in cooperation. Brother Huo Mingcheng put his shoulders on him.
"The road here is slippery, so be careful."
Lu Qi ignored the teasing in his eyes, just slowly shook open the umbrella in his hand, and propped it on top of the two of them. When he got into the car, Lu Qi suddenly remembered something and said to Huo Mingchen,
"A Yuan didn't bring an umbrella. I promised to pick her up from get off work today."
"What's the matter, drop by the Huo family and take her home first."
How to save Huo Mingcheng, Lu Qi doesn't have any rules in his mind. The only thing he can be sure of is that Huo Mingcheng will die in a car accident today in his last life. According to the news sent by Lu Yuan, the company will end the meeting at about 6 o'clock in the evening, and Huo Mingcheng will make an appointment around 7 o'clock. to negotiate with Yueke's agent.
In any case, the other party must be prevented from going out. The most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Huo Mingchen, but Lu Qi has no sufficient reason to explain all this, and it may backfire and cause suspicion.
Lu Qi didn't know what to think, suddenly changed his mind and turned the front of the car, Huo Mingchen frowned in doubt,
"What's the matter, don't you want to pick up your sister?"
"Forget it, she's not a child anymore, let her buy an umbrella downstairs by herself."
"..."
Lu Yuan is very satisfied with Huo's job, the salary is good, the life is easy, and if she works hard for a few years, she may have a house, but she did not expect that she was not defeated by the conspiracy and tricks of the workplace struggle, but by her own relatives. Brother in hand.
The colleague saw that she went out to answer a call, and when she came back, her face suddenly darkened more than one degree. Lu Yuan was sitting in his office with his body slightly sideways. From time to time, he would raise his head to glance at the door of the conference room, obviously absent-minded.
Her brows were furrowed, the tip of her pen poked the table quickly, and she finally glanced at the thermos cup by her hand, and suddenly made a decision in her heart.
Lu Yuan got up and walked into the tea room with a cup, but found that the coffee powder was almost used up before get off work, so she had to go to the tea room downstairs. Because there was only one floor, she didn't take the elevator. Walking into the stairs, I heard a whispering voice.
It's work time, who's hiding here
Lu Yuan looked down from the gap between the handrails of the stairs, but saw Chen Liandong, the assistant of the vice chairman, and Uncle Zhang, the driver of the chairman. He didn't know what Chen Liandong said. When Uncle Zhang heard the words, his face turned pale, because the voice was too loud. Small, Lu Yuan can't hear clearly either.
At the end, Chen Liandong handed a thick envelope to Uncle Zhang, and patted his shoulder with a smile before turning around and leaving.
Eighty percent of the envelope was money, and it seemed like there was a conspiracy.
Seeing that Chen Liandong seemed to be coming up, Lu Yuan walked out of the corridor lightly, just at this moment the elevator rang, she hurriedly walked in, closed the door and pressed the button in one go.
She was worried about what Lu Qi explained, when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"It's work time, what are you doing?"
Lu Yuan's body froze when she heard the words, but she turned her head and found that it was Secretary Li. She expected that the other party was going to find the chairman of the board in the elevator, but she was taken down by herself again, and she couldn't help but smiled awkwardly,
"Feel sorry,"
Then he raised the cup in his hand,
"There's no coffee in the pantry above."
The elevator door opened in the talking room, and Lu Yuan hurried away without waiting for him to answer. She walked into the tea cup and filled a cup of warm water, and brewed six bags of black coffee in it. It looked dark and didn't smell very good.
Lu Yuan put the lid of the cup into his pocket, held the coffee cup that was about to overflow, frowned and fanned the bitterness in front of his nose with his hand, and suddenly remembered that Secretary Li was probably going to Yueke to pick up the chairman. Seeing that it was past six o'clock, I hurried upstairs.
I don't know if it was God who helped her on purpose, or just a coincidence. When Lu Yuan rushed in, he happened to bump into Huo Mingcheng, who came out. Not a single drop of black coffee was left on the other party's expensive suit. , and even brought the documents in the hands of Secretary Li beside him.
Everyone's faces changed when they saw this,
"Chairman!"
Lu Yuan almost hated Lu Qi in her heart. She pretended to be panicked, covered her mouth quickly, and kept bowing to apologize.
"Sorry Chairman! I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!"
Huo Mingcheng was hit and almost didn't react. When he recovered, he saw that all the clothes on his body had been damaged, and even his hair was wet. The people around him were about to get angry, but he reached out his hand to stop him.
"Forget it, a little girl."
Huo Mingcheng's expression was calm, but he did not embarrass Lu Yuan. Secretary Li hesitated to say,
"But you and Yueke..."
"You go over with the documents first, apologize to them for me, and say I'll be late, I'll go to the office to sort it out first."
Huo Mingcheng always forgets to sleep and eat when he is busy, so a bedroom is opened behind his office, where he can take a bath, sleep and change clothes.
Lu Yuan secretly had a headache about how she forgot about this, but now that she is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is impossible for her to protect herself.
Huo Mingcheng walked to the office in a state of embarrassment, and happened to bump into Huo Yuanguang in the corridor. The other party saw that he was still in the company, his expression changed slightly, and he asked in a concerned voice,
"Mingcheng, you are..."
He said and pointed to a pool of unknown dark brown stains on his body.
Huo Mingcheng didn't want to say more,
"Oh, accidentally spilled coffee on me."
"I remember you're still going out, hurry up and change your clothes, but don't let the people from Yueke wait for a long time."
"Well, thank you second uncle for your concern."
Huo Mingcheng nodded, turned and entered the office, but there was always an unspeakable unease in his heart. He temporarily suppressed that feeling and planned to change his clothes first.
Lu Yuan hid at the entrance of the corridor and called Lu Qi, wishing to strangle him to death across the screen,
"I was killed by you, and I didn't say anything about the chairman's black coffee, and I almost ruined his business. It is estimated that I will pack up and leave tomorrow!"
"Don't be in a hurry."
Lu Qi calmly comforted her, then looked at Huo Mingchen and found that the other party was taking a shower in the bathroom, so he simply got up and walked to the balcony to make a phone call.
"How about your chairman?"
"I saw that he came out of the office after changing his clothes, and received a phone call with an ugly face. He didn't know where he went."
Lu Yuan told the news from those female colleagues one by one.
"I heard that Secretary Li had a car accident on the road and is still in the hospital. It's all my fault. If I hadn't splashed the chairman with coffee, he would have..."
As she spoke, her voice suddenly became smaller, her complexion changed, and combined with the scene she saw today, she faintly felt that she had guessed some incredible truth.
Lu Qi said,
"If you don't splash him with coffee, maybe your chairman is in the hospital now. Okay, relax, don't think about it, and rest early."
He hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, thinking that Huo Mingcheng should have noticed it now.
Huo's holdings have always been in the hands of Huo Mingcheng. After he succeeded, Mr. Huo transferred part of his hands to him. At present, the company has the most shares in Huo Mingcheng, followed by Huo Mingchen. As long as he lives well, it is impossible for Huo Yuanguang to make waves even if he wants to.
The sound of the water in the bathroom gradually died down, Huo Mingchen walked out wrapped in a pure black bathrobe, the ends of his hair were still dripping water, the color was very white, which made his originally stern face more indifferent, but when he When he saw Lu Qi lying on the bed, his coldness disappeared instantly.
The conditioned reflex caught the person who rushed over, and Lu Qi smoothly stroked his wet hair,
"Blow it, or you'll catch a cold."
Huo Mingchen was too lazy to move, so he lay on top of him and said lazily,
"It doesn't matter, it will be done in a while."
My hair is wet and I always like to drill into other people's arms. I don't know where the problem comes from. Lu Qi could only take out the hairdryer from under the bedside table and blow his hair dutifully like an old mother.
The thin warm air flowed from the fingertips, the temperature was just right, and it wasn't very hot. Huo Mingchen closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow below. After a while of silence, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked,
"Do you feel bad for being with me?"
Lu Qi's hand moved for a while, and he didn't know why he asked that, but Huo Mingchen continued,
"I have a bad temper, and I'm not likable. My elder brothers say that my temper will cause trouble sooner or later..."
Lu Qi thought that he was quite self-aware.
Huo Mingchen suddenly unplugged the hair dryer. As soon as the slightly noisy wind stopped, his ears suddenly became silent. Lu Qi looked at him in a good mood and listened to the following.
"Lu Qi,"
Huo Mingchen sat up straight and put his hands on the collar of his clothes. Even with the heater on, his palms were slightly sweaty.
"... Are you still with me because of money?"
He looked at Lu Qi, his eyes were so serious, his handsome facial features faded from the youthful youth, and there was a little fascinating charm under the light.
Lu Qi didn't speak, as if he was thinking, but after a second, he gave the answer,
"After I'm with you, will I ask you for a penny?"
"..."
It seems that there is no...
After realizing this fact, Huo Mingchen suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He covered his face and lay on Lu Qi's body, unable to raise his head in annoyance.
Lu Qi could only pull him up, but saw Huo Mingchen laughing, not sneering, not sneering, not sarcastic, not gloomy, but a very happy, heartfelt smile.
Lu Qi didn't know why, so he also hooked the corners of his mouth, then immediately put it back, and said with a light face,
"What the hell are you happy about?"
Huo Mingchen shook his head and patted his already frozen face.
"I don't know what I'm happy about."
Lu Qi turned on the TV and felt that the other party was a little stupid.
"Why did you ask that just now?"
Huo Mingchen raised his chin slightly, looked at Shenfei with his eyebrows, and leaned against the head of the bed with his arms folded to watch TV. It could be seen that he was very proud.
"I want to ask, why are there so many."
Lu Qi said,
"If I answered yes just now, would you kill me?"
I always feel that I have escaped from danger for the rest of my life, and have passed through the gate of hell.
Unexpectedly, Huo Mingchen said,
"Your answer is meaningless."
Saying that, he patted his face like a hooligan, and said with a smirk,
"If you say yes, you have to continue to follow me, if you say no, you have to continue to follow me,"
Moreover,
"Since the last quarrel, when did Lao Tzu move a finger from you?"
This is true.
"Didn't you always move me? You bit me a few days ago, then pressed it on the bed and turned it over and over..."
The more he talked, the more outrageous he became. Lu Qi covered his mouth and stared at him with black eyes, a little helpless.
"Aren't you ashamed?"
Huo Mingchen shook his head, then ripped off his bathrobe, revealing only a shallow tooth mark left on his back, showed him the evidence of the crime, and pulled Lu Qi's hand off by the way.
"Should you let Lao Tzu bite you once?"
"Can not."
Lu Qi told the truth,
"I fear pain."
"..."
Huo Mingchen approached him, pointed to his face and said,
"Then you kiss me a hundred times, and you won't care about the last time you bit me."
What I know is that Lu Qi bit him, but what I don't know is that Lu Qi ate a dozen taels of meat from him, and the big things are remembered until now.
Lu Qi looked at the face that was so close at hand, and his breath was filled with a familiar aura, as if he had become one with himself. He followed his heart and kissed it, starting from the forehead.
Huo Mingchen reported the numbers rigorously,
"one."
The next kiss fell on the eyelids,
"two."
And then the tip of the nose,
"three."
Then came the lips. Before the four-character Huo Mingchen could say it, he was swallowed by Lu Qi, and finally disappeared between the lingering lips and teeth of the two.
In fact, this person is not that difficult to coax, as long as Lu Qi is willing to say something sweet to coax him and reach out to hug him, Huo Mingchen is the easiest person to satisfy in this world.
The black bathrobe fell to the ground like a butterfly, and then became a crumpled mass, like a decadent flower, showing a magnificent gesture.
The author has something to say:
Lu Yuan: I'm too hard
