Zhou Yi'an spent the whole day waiting for Liu Heng's call.
He couldn't figure it out. When they were abroad, the two of them got along very well. They ate, went shopping, and sometimes played games together and climbed mountains to hang out. Why were all those good feelings gone when they returned home
Zhou Yi'an originally made an appointment with Liu Heng to have dinner, but the next day there were no calls or text messages from Liu Heng. Liu Heng sat on his sofa and waited for a day, until his temper got up and down, and finally he became anxious. , Liu Heng finally called to confirm the time and location.
Zhou Yi'an held the phone and sneered: "It's rare that Mr. Liu still remembers me!"
Liu Heng said on the other end of the phone: "Be good and go out for dinner tonight."
Zhou Yi An was struck by lightning and thought he heard wrong, so he quickly said: "Hey, I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say?"
Liu Heng smiled and said, "Be good."
Zhou Yi'an lost his temper in an instant. He and Liu Heng had been talking for four years, and he still knew Liu Heng's stubborn temper. He should really thank Guanyin and Jesus for being able to coax him with such a word or two.
In the evening, Zhou Yi'an changed her clothes and came out. The place Liu Heng made an appointment with was a private restaurant in H City. Only members could dine, and they had to wait in line for a private room. Liu Heng booked a private room.
Liu Heng had not arrived when Zhou Yian arrived. The waiter led Zhou Yian to the door of the private room, then pushed open the door of the private room, bowed to Zhou Yian respectfully and said: "Mr. Liu said he will be there soon, please be sure to wait a moment." .”
Zhou Yian nodded thoughtfully and walked in.
The private room is in a bright white style, from the walls to the ceiling to the floor tiles. Rows of crystals fall from the roof to form a crystal hanging. Purple projection lights render the entire interior dreamy. In the middle of the private room is a small There is a long table with all kinds of exquisite Western utensils, and bunches of gorgeous blue beauties are placed in the entire private room.
Zhou Yian walked in, closed the door, and looked around in surprise. Those blue beauties filled the entire private room, forming a heart shape on the indoor floor. He walked to the table and found a white one placed in the center of the table. He picked up the envelope, opened it, and found a beautiful letter. On the letter was a line of vigorous and profound pen writing - Welcome back.
Zhou Yian held the letter and smiled in disbelief. He thought Liu Heng had been so indifferent from yesterday to today just to give him a surprise tonight? He turned his head and looked at the flowers that filled the whole room, feeling quite happy. He thought that Liu Heng was actually not very cold. At least he knew how to give flowers to make himself happy.
When Liu Heng opened the door and came in, Zhou Yian was sitting at the table with his head propped up and looking at him.
Liu Heng pulled his tie and closed the door. His deep and hard features softened a lot under the light. He put his coat on the back of the chair behind him and sat next to Zhou Yian, and kissed Zhou Yian's cheek.
Zhou Yian smiled happily: "So is this compensation or a gift?"
Liu Heng: "If you come back to China and I don't even say anything, I think I will probably become my ex-boyfriend soon."
Zhou Yi An smiled: "No, thank you."
Liu Heng: "This is what it should be." After speaking, he handed over a delicate black woolen box in his hand.
Zhou Yian raised his eyebrows, took it and opened it with a little anticipation, and found a watch lying inside.
Zhou Yi'an smiled a little reluctantly. Liu Heng had been talking to him for four years. Apart from flowers and watches, he occasionally gave him ties, but he didn't seem to have given anything else. And based on Zhou Yi'an's understanding of Liu Heng, this watch may not have been chosen by Liu Heng himself. Maybe the secretary followed Liu Heng's instructions and went to the mall to order it. As for the flowers all over the house, Zhou Yi'an glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little bitter in her heart - if she called the flower shop or restaurant, someone would naturally do this.
This is really...
Zhou Yian closed the box and put the watch on the dining table, "Thank you."
What did he think he was looking forward to? In addition to giving away watches, could Liu Heng also give away rings? A man like Liu Heng actually needs everything except love. He needs a son, a lover, and a family. These are what he planned and expected from the very beginning. Zhou Yi'an clearly understood that Liu Heng should treat him There is no love, he needs someone to accompany him for life, and he is undoubtedly the luckiest to be the man he chooses.
What did he expect just now? What is there to look forward to? So what if Liu Heng doesn't love himself? So what if there is no emotion? This man chose himself, and from now on they would spend their lives together, and he would share half of their money, status, and rights with him.
Zhou Yi'an and Liu Heng had a Western meal at this private restaurant. During the period, the two occasionally talked, but most of the time they ate in silence.
Zhou Yi'an was silent because he didn't know what he could say in his current mood, and Liu Heng was silent because he had always been silent.
During this period, Liu Heng's phone rang once. Zhou Yian raised his eyes and looked at it. Zhou Yian said sorry, walked to the window and answered the phone: "Hello?"
Chen Jiao: "Ken, the person in charge of the financial section asked me to ask you if you would accept interviews with people."
Liu Heng: "Whatever."
Chen Jiao didn't have any hope at first, but when he heard Liu Heng relaxed and said something casual, he knew there was something going on. He hurriedly asked: "Really or not?"
In fact, Liu Heng did not deliberately refuse interviews of this nature before, he just felt it was indifferent. However, his people tried to figure out his attitude and agreed that Mr. Liu probably didn't like this kind of thing, so the phones were all hijacked in the secretarial department. , saying that Mr. Liu would not accept it.
But now Liu Heng has his own considerations. Zhou Yi'an has returned to China, and the relationship between the two must not be hidden. Once this same-sex relationship is made public, the whole H City will inevitably become a hubbub and become the focus of others' discussion. He needed a similar media exposure before this to reveal his sexuality a little bit. Zhou Yian is an adult, and a public uproar will not affect him, but Liu Heng has a family and a son. He felt that the debate over his sexuality was nothing compared to that of his entire family.
He always has to sacrifice something for his family.
Liu Heng: "Okay, please give me the phone number of the person in charge, and I will contact him later."
"F*ck!!" Chen Jiao shouted on the other end of the phone: "Do you want this? Did I call the wrong number? Or did you get hit on the head by the door?"
Liu Heng curled his lips and glanced at Zhou Yian at the table. Zhou Yian also turned back to look at him. Liu Heng felt very good and calm, and everything was within his control.
Liu Heng said nothing, and Chen Jiao said on the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay, I understand. I will send you his contact information later. You can go back to him directly."
"OK."
While Liu Heng was answering the phone, Zhou Yian also received a text message from Zhou Yan [Is Wang Yincheng really coming to H city? I asked others and they all said they didn’t know?]Zhou Yian turned his head and looked at Liu Heng, and replied, "Oh, I also heard what others said, maybe I got it wrong." ] Zhou Yan: [Hey, actually I think even if Wang Yincheng is here, it’s better not to recruit him. He seems to have had a miserable life after you went abroad. He dropped out of school and no one knows what he is doing now.]Zhou Yi'an's heart skipped a beat, especially when he saw the sentence "He lived a miserable life." Zhou Yian felt very uncomfortable. In fact, they had already broken up at that time. How Wang Yincheng was doing had nothing to do with him, so why should he be so nervous? It's not necessary. But Zhou Yian gradually felt upset. He knew that Wang Yincheng and him were in the same city, but the two had almost no intersection at all.
He thought for a while and replied: [Okay]
Liu Heng and Zhou Yian took him back after dinner. Zhou Yian unbuckled his seat belt and kissed Liu Heng. The air in the dark car was quiet. Zhou Yian's eyes were provocative and his body was full of probing touches. But he didn't show any impatience. He just looked at Liu Heng, waiting for Liu Heng's movement.
In the end, Liu Heng just smiled apologetically and kissed him on the lips, "It's really inconvenient to have a son."
Zhou Yian rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and said considerately: "That's okay, I'll go back and masturbate myself."
Liu Heng laughed and nodded: "Go to bed early."
During the few minutes that Zhou Yian went upstairs, Liu Heng stayed downstairs. He had this habit of being very gentlemanly and considerate. If his lover suddenly had something to do, he would always be there at his call. But now he felt a little uneasy.
The flowers were selected by herself, and the watch was prepared before Zhou Yian returned to China. But this morning after picking out flowers and preparing to call to book a private room, Liu Heng noticed that the screen saver on his mobile phone had been changed at some point.
When the man's handsome figure jumped out on the screen, Liu Heng's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been hit by something.
He didn't like that feeling. In his career, he likes to be in control and to manipulate risks, but his attitude towards family is extremely conservative. He believes that a family should be a harmonious couple with children and grandchildren, so he has no extravagant hopes for love, and strives for a stable marriage.
In this regard, he thinks Zhou Yian is very good. He has a simple and almost blank background, a stable personality, and has his own pursuit of life. He knows what can and cannot be asked for in a mutual relationship. He will not make too many demands. But it also makes people feel that he cares. In terms of material things, if he needs it, he will put it forward very straightforwardly, without beating around the bush and making people spend time speculating.
Before having his son, Liu Heng spent most of his life working and making money. After having his son, he allocated some time to his children. He felt that he was not an excellent father, but he was still competent. He doesn't have much time for romance, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy talking about it. He can just click on it. He thinks that there must be a strong adhesive in his marriage to firmly bind the relationship between the two parties. He needs his lover to rely on him in some way. It is too mentally tiring and emotionally troublesome. In the end, Good is material things.
His lover needs to know how to move forward, know how to retreat, know how to ask for things, and also know how to take some things that he should not take. Liu Heng's career gains will definitely belong to Dou Sha in the future. He only has one son now, and I'm afraid he won't have another son in the future, so that person's material desires cannot be overwhelming.
So among the people I met, Zhou Yian was undoubtedly the best choice.
In the dark compartment, Liu Heng took out his mobile phone and clicked on the screen. The screen saver was still a picture of that person. He knew it must be made of bean paste. His little boy was reminding himself in some way that he needed his mother.
Liu Heng unlocked the screen of his phone and turned to the text message Chen Jiao had just sent: [Wang Yincheng, 1599xxxxxxx] He dialed directly. The phone rang three times and was connected. The man's voice on the other end was clean and refreshing: "Hello?"
Liu Heng held the mobile phone in one hand and rested the other hand on the steering wheel. His face was as cold as a sculpture as before: "I am Liu Heng."
"Oh." The man on the other end of the phone had an indifferent attitude, his voice was calm and gentle, showing a sense of alienation: "Hello. So you are calling me to tell me that you are willing to accept an interview, right?"
Liu Heng raised his eyebrows and tapped his index finger on the steering wheel. He recalled in his mind whether there was Wang Yincheng in the H City news circle. In the end, he found a blank. He had never heard of Wang Yincheng. He didn't know why Chen Jiao spoke for this man, but he didn't care. He was just slightly surprised by the man's attitude.
In Liu Heng's memory, whenever there are journalists, he will always see inquiring eyes and various strange ways of chatting. They all seem to like to see themselves from the perspective of their own work, and then use some news A little bit of gossip, so those people's attitudes may be flattering, excited or probing, but never like this man.
It was as if Liu Heng had dialed the wrong number. The person on the other end said calmly, "Oh, it's okay" and then hung up. No waves.
Liu Heng said: "When you come to Huarong tomorrow, don't bring a voice recorder."
Wang Yincheng: "Okay."
"You can only have a few personal topics."
"good."
“Don’t bring a cameraman, the company will provide you with photos.”
The other end paused for two seconds: "Okay."
After Zhou Yian returned, he changed his clothes and took a shower. He threw his watch on the sofa and he didn't even bother to look at it again.
Liu Heng had given him countless watches before and after, all of which were expensive. At first, Zhou Yian felt novel and excited. After all, a watch of that price was something he had never dared to think of before. Liu Heng also gave him two watches. Cars, a Volvo and an Alto.
On the matter, Yi An admitted that he was well taken care of by Liu Heng. When he was abroad, he even asked Liu Heng in private whether this would be bad. After all, he could not give anything to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng's answer at the time was: "Just accept it if I give it to you. There will always be a time when you will repay it."
Zhou Yian stood naked under the unkempt head and flushed the water with his eyes closed. He smiled coldly, yes, repaying, isn't he always giving back? Report on a loveless relationship.
Liu Heng doesn't need love, but Zhou Yian obviously does. Like most men, he needs care and love, and needs attention. But Liu Heng also told himself clearly that it was impossible.
Zhou Yian came out of the shower and wrapped a bath towel around his waist without wearing any clothes.
He walked back to the room barefoot, and Zhou Yan's call just came in: "Hello?"
Zhou Yan was on the other end of the phone, shaking his keys in one hand and holding his mobile phone in the other. He smiled quite sheepishly. Zhou Yi'an raised his eyebrows and waited for Zhou Yan to say: "Guess who I just met."
Zhou Yian sat on the edge of the bed and rummaged through the bedside table to find a cotton swab: "It's definitely not Wang Yincheng." After Zhou Yian finished speaking, he was heartbroken. He seemed to always inadvertently think of Wang Yincheng and the little boy he once had.
Zhou Yan laughed loudly on the other end: "That's for sure. I'm going to run into him and I won't even have time to take a detour. I met a school girl from when I was a graduate student!"
Zhou Yian took a cotton swab and picked out his ears: "So you called me to teach me your experience in picking up girls?"
Zhou Yan: "How can that be possible? Let me tell you, my school girl is now working as the editor of the financial section of a newspaper. I just met her, and she complained to me that an unreliable person in charge came to their office recently. , who specializes in the financial section, and the person in charge who I am complaining about doesn’t understand anything and just messes around.”
Zhou Yian's hand holding the cotton swab paused, and then he heard Zhou Yian continue: "Damn it, you said this world is really small. The person in charge of my school girl's complaint is Wang Yincheng! Wang Yincheng is working at that newspaper now Editor-in-chief of the financial section!!”
Zhou Yian's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell what it was like. He threw away the cotton swab in his hand and stood up. He walked back and forth in the bedroom twice. "You said he is working as a financial editor now?"
Zhou Yan: "Well, how about it? What a coincidence, no matter how much I ask, I can't ask anyone. I just met a schoolgirl on the street and found out without asking!"
Zhou Yan was still talking on the other end of the phone. After finishing talking, he didn't notice that Zhou Yian was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Yian sat down on the bed again, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound the same, but when he spoke, his voice trembled: "You... do you have his number?"
Zhou Yan: "That's for sure. I'll send it to you later." After a pause: "But I still think it's best for you not to contact me. I was also a graduate student when you went abroad. At that time, I listened to the instructions in the school. People say he lived a miserable life." Zhou Yan was kindly reminding him. After all, the relationship between Zhou Yian and Wang Yincheng was known to many people in the school circle at the time. After Zhou Yian went abroad, Wang Yincheng had another incident, which everyone felt It's Zhou Yian's fault, Zhou Yian is ruthless. And no one knows what Wang Yincheng's attitude is towards Zhou Yian.
"Yeah, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan sent the number and reminded Zhou Yi'an again. Zhou Yi'an felt very anxious and irritable. He couldn't understand Zhou Yan's cautious reminder. He only felt that Wang Yincheng had such a miserable life because his own personality was too withdrawn and unsociable. Once Zhou Yi'an went abroad, Wang Yincheng had no one to rely on. It would be like this if there were no other relatives.
Zhou Yi'an went to the living room to drink a large glass of cold water. When he came back, he held his cell phone and stared at the number on the phone for a while before dialing it. On the other end of the phone, he heard a mechanical female voice reminding him that he was on a call. Zhou Yian hung up the phone, and the courage he had finally summoned suddenly disappeared. He stared at himself in the dressing mirror and was silent for a while before he realized what he was doing.
He has a boyfriend, but now that he has met his ex-lover, he can't let go. What is he doing? Zhou Yian hurriedly shut down his phone and threw it on the bedside, pretending that he had done nothing.
After Liu Heng sent the bean paste to the kindergarten, he went to the company and arranged a reception for Wang Yincheng in the secretarial department.
The manager of the secretarial department expressed fear and stared at Liu Heng in disbelief: "Mr. Liu... are you sober?"
Liu Heng has a tough appearance and is a workaholic. He always raises his eyebrows with a cold expression when looking at people in the company. He was not surprised when he looked at the manager of the secretarial department. He glanced at the person in front of him and said: "I didn't drink. "
The secretarial manager shuddered under Liu Heng's stern gaze, and quickly asked someone to arrange a meeting room and called the front desk to inform in advance.
Ye Anning felt that he was going crazy. What was going on in this world? How could someone who knew absolutely nothing get Liu Heng's approval to do an exclusive interview? Was it the way she got up this morning
Shao Zhiwen held a toothpick in his mouth and smiled handsomely: "My king is mighty!!!"
Ye Anning and Shao Zhiwen were the people appointed by Old Liu to do this exclusive interview together. Wang Yincheng couldn't bring them with him even if he wanted to. After going to the company, he first arranged for others to conduct a financial investigation, and then checked his work email this morning before taking Ye Anning and Shao Zhiwen out of the company.
When he got off the elevator to the parking lot, Shao Zhiwen suddenly shouted: "Damn it, I just remembered that Lao Liu took my bun!!"
Ye Anning was wandering in shock and suspicion, not paying attention to what Shao Zhiwen said. Anyway, she usually didn't like to talk to Shao Zhiwen at all.
Wang Yincheng said: "It doesn't matter, I drove here today."
Shao Zhiwen nodded and thought something was wrong. Wang Yincheng's apartment was occupied by Lao Liu in the editorial department. How could he have a car? Wang Yincheng seemed to know what Shao Zhiwen was wondering about, and said calmly: "I borrowed it from a friend."
I actually borrowed it from a friend.
After Liu Heng called Wang Yincheng, Wang Yincheng turned to Chen Jiao, who was angry: "There is no problem with the car. I will give it to you after I deliver my son off tomorrow morning. Answer me a question first!!" What’s going on with the ending on the official website?!?? BE? BE! I bought a watch last year, okay!? I’m such a scumbag and ended up going abroad like this? Going abroad? It’s over after I go abroad! ! ??" Chen Jiao is the beautiful Bigfoot, a die-hard fan of Wang Yincheng's novel, and a loyal defender of HE. He simply couldn't imagine that the novel he had been following for half a year would end like this. Why not have an open ending? How many times did you stab me in the back when you wrote a novel? ! ? "
Wang Yincheng raised his eyebrows. He called to borrow the car. Since he had borrowed it, what else could he say? So before hanging up the phone, he gave Chen Jiao another shot and said, "Well, actually there was originally a HE ending, but I deleted it!"
Chen Jiao: "..."=口=
Shao Zhiwen and Ye Anning followed Wang Yincheng to the parking lot to get their car. Wang Yincheng's car was parked near the elevator entrance. It was very obvious that it was a bright red Bentley.
When Wang Yincheng walked over to the Bentley and took out the car lock, Ye Anning staggered, and Shao Zhiwen felt so confused that he almost knelt down in front of Wang Yincheng.
So after getting in the car, the atmosphere in the car was quite subtle.
Shao Zhiwen was silent for a long time in the passenger seat with his eyes, nose, and heart in mind. Finally, he looked sideways at Wang Yincheng who was driving and said, "Your Majesty, your friend... is so rich."
Wang Yincheng said calmly: "Well, his husband is in real estate."
Shao Zhiwen cried bitterly in his heart, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. However, Ye Anning's expression had changed.
She looked down on Wang Yincheng at first, and she had naturally read Wang Yincheng's financial reviews, but she always believed that capable men should have their own careers, rather than being the editor-in-chief of financial reviews and watching others get rich. Furthermore, Wang Yincheng didn't really look like a man who could talk both ways, so Ye Anning naturally classified him as an incompetent man. But now it seems that this is not the case? !
If Wang Yincheng had no ability, how could he know such a rich person? Can I still borrow a Bentley
Ye Anning sat in the back and secretly observed Wang Yincheng in the rearview mirror several times. After taking a few glances, he inexplicably discovered that Wang Yincheng was actually quite handsome.
Wang Yincheng took the two little tails behind him to register at the front desk of Huarong International. There were three receptionists at the front desk. When they saw Wang Yincheng, all three of them were stunned.
One of them reacted quickly: "Yes, the Secretariat informed this morning that there is indeed an interview with Mr. Liu. This is your access card. Please take it..." He took out three visitor access cards and pointed to the lobby. Elevator on the right: "Sixteenth floor, there will be staff to guide you after you get off the elevator."
Wang Yincheng handed the pass card to Ye Anning and Shao Zhiwen, said thank you, turned around and walked towards the elevator with his briefcase. Behind him, Shao Zhiwen blinked at the three receptionists: "Isn't our chief editor handsome?"
The three nymphos nodded in unison.
Ye Anning looked at the three front desks with contempt, turned around and left. Isn't it just a front desk? Even if you are a nymphomaniac, you have to see if you are qualified.
After going up to the sixteenth floor, the manager of the secretarial department led Wang Yincheng and his group into a small conference room. After the assistant brought three cups of coffee and went out, he said: "Hello, I am the manager of the secretarial department of Huarong."
Wang Yincheng nodded and shook hands with him: "Hello, my name is Wang Yincheng."
The secretary manager smiled modestly: "That's right, Mr. Liu has already told us about the interview with a celebrity this morning. Although he didn't say much, as the secretarial department, we still need to remind him..."
As a secretary, what you have to do is to take precautions in advance before the boss is aware of many situations. The manager of the secretarial department is understandable. This happens to be something Liu Heng appreciates, otherwise he would not treat a big boss like a big boss. They were placed in the secretarial department, which was all women.
When Wang Yincheng and the others entered the elevator, the secretarial department called to inform them that the interviewer had arrived.
Liu Heng finished processing the last document and got off the elevator to the sixteenth floor. A little girl in the secretarial department was waiting in high heels. She was shocked when she saw Liu Heng coming down with an expressionless face. She quickly said hello and led Liu Heng towards the conference room.
The secretary knocked on the door, opened the door and asked Liu Heng to come in.
There were four people sitting in the conference room. When they heard a knock on the door, the secretary-manager shut up, said please come in, and stood up in the direction of the door.
Wang Yincheng knew it should be Liu Heng, so he stood up as well. When he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes as dark as a deep pool.
The secretary manager stood up to give up the chair to Liu Heng, but found that his boss was staring at the financial editor with a stern face.
He was a little confused, but he still introduced him to Liu Heng: "This is Mr. Wang Yincheng, the person in charge of the financial section of the local newspaper, followed by Mr. Shao Zhiwen and Ms. Ye Anning."
However, Liu Heng ignored him and just turned around and walked out silently: "Come to my office alone."
“…”
The secretary manager was about to cry. He felt that he must have done something wrong to make Liu Heng look so ugly, but he also felt that he had done nothing wrong. Liu Heng moved the interview to his office, didn't he? Liu Heng didn't even talk to anyone in his office about a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars~!
After Liu Heng said that, he turned around and walked back. The moment he stepped into the conference room and saw Wang Yincheng, he felt a sense of trance and surprise.
The man who looked up at him had a face that he was very familiar with. His eyes, eyebrows, nose and chin, especially the cinnabar mole on the left side of his eyebrows. Liu Heng's heart suddenly hit him at that moment, and his heart rate started to increase from that moment on. Everything was in chaos. He felt that all the muscles in his body were extremely stiff, and the blood was flowing backwards and rushing to his forehead.
He couldn't even say a word or move his eyes. He could only turn around and strode out before he completely lost his composure and left an unclear sentence.
If Liu Heng was sensible enough at that moment, he should have just glanced at Wang Yincheng and asked the manager of the secretarial department to sit next to him to help complete this task interview. Then after a group of them left, they considered Wang Yincheng's problem.
But he didn't. Wang Yincheng's eyes were clear and deep. He couldn't move his eyes away after taking one look. He was surprised and panicked. He didn't know where his reason had gone. His emotions fluctuated greatly at that moment. His mind went blank and he didn't know what was going to happen next. What should be done. He couldn't hold on to the thread of reason, and when he turned around at the last moment, he even had the panic of running away, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.
But Liu Heng is used to being cold, and his behavior seems to others to be a calm order, although this order is a bit unclear - who is going to his office alone?
The secretary manager understood that it was Wang Yincheng, but Wang Yincheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the manager.
