On the way back to the office, Yu Liang dared not stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Geng, and was one step behind him.
He returned to the assistant's office with a drooping head, and was meeting Sun Zinan's first assistant, Gu Yao, carrying a bag and going out. Yu Liang called out "Sister Gu Yao", in exchange for a stern look: "I want to go out, don't run around, so that President Sun can't find anyone."
Yu Liangmumu nodded dumbly, sat down at the workstation, and struggled mentally in a chaotic manner, not sure if he should play Liu Cheng's small report with Sun Zinan.
Although Liu Cheng's actions were suspicious, he was a talent that Sun Zinan valued. If he foolishly went to sue him, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding, he would definitely lose his job.
But when he didn't say anything, he felt very sorry in his heart.
And Wang Geng, how much has he heard? Which side is this person on
In the evening, when the employees packed up and went home from get off work, Sun Zinan was staring at the setting sun outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking about whether to invite Tang Kai to have dinner together, and asked him for his opinion. It's just that before he could figure out how to speak, the phone on the table vibrated first.
Thinking of something, Tang Kai's voice rang out in a clear and cold voice: "Have you gotten off work yet?"
Sun Zinan automatically understood this as Tang Kai asked him if he was still in the company, and replied, "Yes. What's wrong?"
Tang Kai said indifferently, "The front desk of your company is off work."
Sun Zinan was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing. He almost bounced off his office chair very erratically: "Are you downstairs? Don't move, I'll go down immediately."
"No hurry." There seemed to be a low smile from the other end of the receiver, "Take your time."
A black BMW SUV was parked in front of the building. Sun Zinan recognized the license plate, opened the door and got in the passenger car. He asked in a good mood, "Why are you free today?"
"The lab is fine, and the summer vacation wasn't too busy." Tang Kai motioned him to fasten his seat belt and stepped out of the car gently, "I remembered that I haven't eaten the meal from the last appointment, so I came to collect the debt."
"Let's go out to eat today." Sun Zinan said it was just right, and said casually, "There's no food at home."
Tang Kai's aura was visibly lowered to the point where it was difficult to ignore. His graceful profile face was taut, his eyes looked straight ahead, and his whole body exuded the resentment of "you big pig's hooves who don't talk."
Sun Zinan was really afraid of him, so he quickly coaxed: "I'm not afraid that you are hungry. Then drop by the supermarket. Now it takes two hours for fresh food to be delivered."
Tang Kai drove the car seriously, pretending to be sensible: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just do whatever you want."
Sun Zinan said in his heart, "Bah.
"I didn't know who it was at the time, and said to me bluntly, 'It's okay to eat instant noodles with someone you like', but now? You can't take it out to eat, you have to make it fresh." Sun Zinan showed no mercy. He opened the old account and sneered, "Oh, man."
Tang Kai: "..."
He struggled hard: "This is not inconsistent, of course I can eat instant noodles with you... But can you bear it?"
"Be patient, what can I not bear?" Sun Zinan said with a smile, "Don't all of you scientific researchers come through so hard?"
Tang Kai: "It sounds nice, but you just don't love me anymore. Oh, man."
Sun Zinan: "It's naive and naive."
Tang Kai: "You are naive."
Sun Zinan: "Rebound."
Tang Kai: "The rebound is invalid."
…
The sound of the car faded away.
Just in time for dinner, there are quite a lot of people in the supermarket. Most of the people who come to buy are from nearby residents, including parents who are leading their children just after school, and couples who come home from get off work in pairs. The air was full of hustle and bustle. The two of them were mixed in the crowd. Although they were very bright, they did not violate the harmony.
In the past two months, although Sun Zinan has not fulfilled his promise to cook meals for Professor Tang for a week, the two have not stopped communicating and maintained the frequency of seeing each other twice a week. Generally, whoever is not busy picks up another person from get off work. Occasionally eat out at restaurants, and most of the time, Sun Zinan cooks himself.
For two months, they have recognized each other's door license plates. Sun Zinan had eaten in the cafeteria of Tianhai University, and Tang Kai had also tasted the flavor of the roast duck restaurant downstairs of Sun Zinan's company. If these scattered meal appointments are counted, Tang Kai's request has already been exceeded. It's just that the two of them were tacit, and neither of them took the initiative to mention it. They decided to cultivate their relationship first, starting with a meal, and quietly made room for another person in their life.
"Do you want to eat loofah?" Sun Zinan was picking and choosing in the vegetable area, "Steam it with minced garlic vermicelli, or make soup?"
Tang Kai asked, "Will the taste rush when making soup?"
"It should be fine." Sun Zinan put the loofah wrapped in plastic wrap into the shopping cart, "Buy three, steam this one, and make soup next time, you can taste it yourself and see if you like it or not."
One thing about Sun Zinan that Tang Kai likes very much is that he basically does not take the initiative to make decisions for others, or force others to agree with him too much. Although it doesn't look like it, Sun Zinan is essentially a person who is willing to give people a choice, and once he crosses his line of defense and is included in the scope of "his own", his tolerance will become almost unconditional connivance.
It is said that things that are easy to obtain will not be cherished, but feelings are fragile items that cannot withstand squandering and consumption. It is because Sun Zinan gave him full respect and maximum freedom, so he needs to be treated with more respect.
Tang Kai didn't even need any personal experience to know that if Sun Zinan ran out of patience one day and withdrew these preferential treatment, he might never find another person like him again.
They walked past the dazzling shelves. Sun Zinan threw a handful of fresh shallots and coriander into the cart and turned to the fresh food area: "Want to eat fish or chicken? Or buy some small steaks and bring them back to braised?"
Tang Kai looked at his casual profile with a little concentration, and honestly expressed his inner thoughts: "Eat fish today, chicken tomorrow, and ribs the day after tomorrow."
Sun Zinan couldn't help laughing: "You want to be beautiful."
While talking, he glanced at the price tag next to him, and suddenly found a new world: "Hey, there are fresh ducks. Why don't you buy some duck legs and cook a beer duck tonight?"
Tang Kai was full of blind confidence in Sun Zinan's craftsmanship, and he said good, well, well, well, well, well, when he asked anything. As a result, Sun Zinan asked someone to praise the duck meat, and in the next second he turned around and took out his mobile phone: "Wait for me to check the method first and see what materials are needed."
Professor Tang's chin almost fell to the ground: "Check the recipe now?"
"That's right," Sun Zinan said while flipping through the web page with one hand, without raising his head, "What you asked for yourself, you have to eat it all for me if it burns."
Tang Kai was silent for a while, then said cautiously, "To be on the safe side, let's go get two packs of instant noodles later."
Sun Zinan was amused by his expression for a long time, so he asked him to get beer, while he scoured the seasoning area, bought spices such as star anise, cinnamon, etc., and took a bag of seaweed and planned to go back to make soup, and finally passed by quickly. In the food area, I actually bought a five-pack of instant noodles.
After a while, Tang Kai came to him and saw the instant noodles in the car, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was full of indescribable expressions.
Sun Zinan teased him as if he was addicted, and teased with a wicked smile: "As for Professor Tang, his face is almost the same as a loofah. I see what you've got... Well, four pounds of cherries are considered diligent and thrifty. "
Tang Kai was used to being sarcastic by him, so he replied calmly, "Look at your recipe."
"How do you talk, do you look down on people?" Sun Zinan sneered, "You haven't been beaten by a cooking genius."
Tang Kai couldn't bear it any longer, reached out and squeezed his mouth.
The Virgo and clean-obsessed Boss Sun finally went crazy. He grabbed Professor Tang's cheeks and roared angrily: "You he... You just touched the potatoes! Just rub them on my face!"
The two kept making a fuss about their small movements, and their childishness made even the children in the senior kindergarten feel ashamed when they saw it. When passing by the daily necessities area, Sun Zinan suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Tang Kai, "I just remembered that you are already on summer vacation. If you don't go to work tomorrow, why don't you live here tonight? You can buy the toiletries together. "
His question was straightforward and natural, without the slightest bit of wariness, but when it landed on Tang Kai's ears, there was a subtle meaning. After a while, he adjusted his mind, leaned over slightly, and whispered into Sun Zinan's ear, "Mr. Sun, are you inviting me?"
Integrity and pure like Sun Zinan, he was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and angrily grabbed the collar of his shirt: "Fuck off, go to the street!"
A low-pitched laugh overflowed from his throat, like a gurgling water. Professor Tang seemed to have broken through some kind of shame barrier. Hold him firmly to his chest.
Sun Zinan seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact, he panicked, and his heartbeat suddenly jumped to one hundred or two.
He was surrounded by that warm embrace, like a worm falling into amber, unable to escape, unable to break free even if he struggled, his whole body froze.
After a long while, he raised his hand tremblingly, and poked Tang Kai's forearm as cautiously as he touched a switch: "Cough... Then what, in public, pay attention to the influence."
There was actually no one around, but he suddenly had the illusion that his whole mind was exposed to the broad daylight.
"I don't." Tang Kai hugged him tighter like a rogue, and sighed softly and contentedly, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."
I simulated it thousands of times in my mind, and when I actually held the person in my hand, I realized that the imagination was far from being the case.
Sun Zinan is very thin, the kind that doesn't exercise, his waist and abdomen are very soft, and his shoulder bones are a bit cramped, like a hard shell. But Tang Kai knew what a throbbing, soft and broad heart was wrapped under that armor.
He had hesitated, lingered, hesitated, doubted. But now, he wished he was the only one who knocked on that door.
He drew on Sun Zinan's heart with his fingertips, and asked again, "Are you inviting me?"
The two of them were similar in height, Tang Kai was a little taller, and his head was slightly lowered when he spoke as if his ears were rubbing against each other. While Sun Zinan was embarrassed, he felt that his heart was going to be sweetened. He endured again and again, and finally grabbed Tang Kai's hand and said forbearance: "If you wait any longer, you can only go back to eat supper. Be good, don't make trouble. already."
Tang Kai listened to him unconsciously coaxing the child, and felt that Sun Zinan had misunderstood something.
However, in order to maintain his "sensible" personality, Tang Kai changed his words: "I will take you as the default. From today onwards, half of the rice in your pot will be mine."
Sun Zinan: "..."
It's half as much as you are, so this fool can't really take him for lunch, right
