003. Standing at 30
Since he didn't want to go back to his hometown, nor did he want to open a hotel, Wei Yuhuan had to go to the company.
Huanyu Group occupies a total of ten floors in a landmark high-rise office building in the most prosperous area of City S.
In this commercial building where electricity is available almost all year round, Wei Yuhuan enjoys an office of about 200 square meters. It has a loft-like height and built-in partitions. He can bathe and rest upstairs and hold meetings and work downstairs. He also lives here when he is busy.
Secretary Yang, who was at the front desk of the president's office, was surprised to see him: "Boss Wei, why are you here? Aren't you on vacation?"
After finishing his work in the United States, Wei Yuhuan also gave himself a ten-day vacation, and everyone here knew about it.
Wei Yuhuan certainly couldn't say that he had nowhere to go, so he just nodded and said, "I have something to take care of."
As soon as he put down his car keys, Secretary Yang made him some tea and asked, "Is Secretary Li not here?"
"I'm on vacation." Wei Yuhuan snorted. After two seconds, he saw that the girl was still standing by and asked, "What's the matter?"
She glanced at her watch and hesitantly asked, "Boss Wei, is there anything you want me to do for you?"
Wei Yuhuan reacted and said with a smile: "It's almost time to get off work, right? Go ahead. Oh, by the way, remember to notify the security guard on duty when you leave and tell him that I'll be here tonight."
Although the company is definitely safe and there are often teams working overtime and staying up late to complete projects downstairs, Wei Yuhuan is still a little worried after what happened at Chunjiang Huajingyuan.
Secretary Yang responded after hearing this and went out happily.
Wei Yuhuan had just inserted the USB flash drive given by the security company into the computer when his cell phone rang.
After a quick glance, I saw it was Lou Ze's agent.
Wei Yuhuan ignored him and patiently installed the real-time monitoring software. There were five cameras, with angles facing the main entrance and living room, kitchen and dining table, bedroom, bathroom and an entire balcony facing south.
After the image was displayed successfully, Wei Yuhuan's lips curled up into a fox-like smile again.
At the same time, Lou Ze's agent also persevered and called for the second time.
Wei Yuhuan then pressed the answer button and said "Hello" lazily.
"Boss Wei, you finally answered the phone!" A voice that revealed a complex mix of surprise, panic, nervousness, guilt, and other emotions suddenly came out of the speaker. "I'm so sorry, I just found out about Lou Ze, and I've already scolded him! Lou Ze was also confused for a moment. Well, I can't say that. Actually, you haven't been in the country for the past six months, and he was a little lonely. You ran into them together last night, and Lou Ze was also quite panicked. He thought about it all night and hasn't been in the right state today. He just told me that he was embarrassed to follow you anymore after you saw him like that..."
Maybe because he was too angry about the incident at Chunjiang Flower Garden during the day, Wei Yuhuan was not too angry towards Lou Ze. Besides, the two of them had spent many wonderful times together, and he still missed their old friendship and wanted to part ways in peace.
Wei Yuhuan said slowly: "Xiao Ze and I have agreed on the conditions. Since this is his choice, I think he should be aware of it."
But this person, who was loving husband and wife just one moment, cheated on his wife in just half a year because of "loneliness".
So, what is love based on
If time and distance can easily wear away all of this, then what is the value of the love that so many people are desperately pursuing
"Yes, Mr. Wei, you are so generous. I will ask Lou Ze to move out of your villa as soon as possible!" The agent apologized and thanked again, but he was reluctant to hang up the phone. He naggled for a long time before getting to the point. "Mr. Wei, when are you free? I will treat you to a meal. I have brought a few new people with me. They are all very good-looking, good-tempered and obedient. If you like any of them, you can look around. How do you think?"
Wei Yuhuan wasn’t angry at what he just said, but after hearing this, he was so angry that he laughed.
"Oh, do you really think I'm a professional prostitute?" Everyone said that meeting Lou Ze was a coincidence and had nothing to do with a pure transaction of money and sex.
Besides, even if he wanted to "prostitute", wouldn't Wei Yuhuan go directly to his brother to ask for the person
Wei Hengtian, the CEO of Tianhuan Media, controls half of the mainland entertainment industry. It only takes a word for Wei Yuhuan to decide what kind of beauty he wants. When will it be the turn of the agent of this small Dongjing Entertainment Company to produce and sell his own products in front of him? Does he really think that he is stupid and has a lot of money
However, it is indeed not easy to blame the agent. After all, few people outside know that Wei Yuhuan is Wei Hengtian's younger brother.
"I don't have time to care about Lou Ze's affairs, but my relationship with him has come to an end after this incident. As for your subordinates, I have no interest in them at all. You should find another financial sponsor." Wei Yuhuan showed no mercy this time. He said with a fake smile and hung up the phone.
After taking a look at the empty room in the surveillance video, Wei Yuhuan turned half a circle in his chair out of boredom and looked at the sky filled with sunset glow outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
It was already time to get off work, and the entire S city was shrouded in a setting sun. The office had good sound insulation, and Wei Yuhuan could not hear the sounds outside, but he could see the crowds of people leaving work pouring out from under the buildings outside, heading in all directions like fish, and quickly disappearing into the streets and alleys.
Everyone seems to have a destination, and people come and go in a hurry.
But where are these people so eager to return to
After being silent for a while, Wei Yuhuan sighed, stopped feeling sorry for himself, and got up to go upstairs to take a shower.
He was a bit casual about dressing, unlike his elder brother who would rather not wear a pair of leather shoes if the color was a little different from what he wanted. This became even worse after he became independent. In addition to a room full of high-end custom-made clothes that Wei Yuhuan couldn't even tell the difference between, he also hired a personal consultant for matching clothes. This caused his elder brother to be unable to tolerate long business trips because he wouldn't have enough clothes to bring.
Wei Yuhuan can wear bespoke clothes as well as MUJI clothes, he can act like a domineering CEO as well as a gentleman.
Therefore, I have no attachment and no fixed place to live.
In the past, Wei Yuhuan lived more often in his family's home, and most of his personal belongings were kept there, with nannies and servants taking care of them. However, ever since the old lady began to frequently urge him to get married, Wei Yuhuan became a little annoyed and had to look for a place to stay outside every day.
He bought three or four houses in City S, all for the purpose of housing his beautiful mistress. He once boasted about being a playboy, but tonight Wei Yuhuan began to consider for the first time whether he should buy himself a decent residence, at least he would have somewhere to go when he faced such a situation next time.
No…
Wei Yuhuan raised his head and frowned as he washed away the foam on his head.
What he wants more than a place to live is a lover who can stay with him and never leave him.
He seemed a little fed up with this fickle and unstable love life.
…
When this thought came to his mind, Wei Yuhuan was shocked.
Because in the previous thirty years, he had always followed the creed of "enjoy life while you can" and never intended to settle down.
Wei Yuhuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that no matter how the world developed or how open people's minds became, the theory of numerology summarized by our ancestors still had a profound impact on every Chinese.
At the age of thirty, one is considered to be a watershed in life.
After taking a shower and going downstairs, it was getting dark outside. Wei Yuhuan glanced at the screen again. The room being monitored was dark and there was no movement at all.
He leaned back in the executive chair at his desk, drinking tea and talking on the phone to a friend.
This person is called Qi Muying, and he was Wei Yuhuan’s classmate when he was studying for his MBA in the UK.
However, Qi Muying returned to China three years later than Wei Yuhuan. After graduating with a doctorate, he took a sinecure as a teacher at J University and traded stocks in his spare time.
Xing Xiangxiang and Wei Yuhuan are birds of a feather. It was he who invited Wei Yuhuan to give the speech at J University a year ago.
The two hadn't been in touch for a while, and as soon as the phone was connected, they started chatting nonsense, and the topic of Cong Yuan came up. After all, Wei Yuhuan's acquaintance with Cong Yuan was closely related to Qi Muying.
"I wonder why he broke up with me. When it comes to life experience, I have so much more experience than him. When it comes to business skills, I can be his personal teacher. When it comes to sex experience, that's even better. That night, I made him cum three times in a row, and he cried and begged for mercy in the end! What's more, I care so much about him, what do you think he is dissatisfied with?"
The two of them had talked about this after Wei Yuhuan was dumped by Cong Yuan. Qi Muying had laughed at him at that time. But when they talked about it again today, Qi Muying couldn't laugh anymore. Instead, he felt that Wei Yuhuan was a little pitiful.
"Please, count how many lovers you have out there. I would find it strange if a twenty-something-year-old college student from a prestigious university who has never encountered any setbacks and is still arrogant could accept your extravagant and licentious private life!"
Wei Yuhuan felt that this accusation was too unfair. Regardless of whether Cong Yuan knew that he had another lover or his current miserable emotional state, just based on the last half sentence -
"Hey, what do you mean by excessive debauchery? I use a multi-threaded and coordinated emotional processing method to more efficiently select the most suitable partner to spend the rest of my life with! Men's sexual function is only active for 30 to 40 years. I'm 30 now, half of which has passed. How can I not seize the time?" At this point, Wei Yuhuan added, "When my old man was my age, he had more lovers than I do!"
Qi Muying was speechless. This Wei family was really a family with a bad reputation!
He feels that there is no need to comfort such a friend with distorted values. What he is experiencing now is the best lesson. When he has suffered enough, he will probably "learn his lesson".
Wei Yuhuan didn't expect Qi Muying to spit out ivory from that dog's mouth. He just wanted to complain and vent his negative emotions.
"Do you still remember the house I bought for Cong Yuan? Speaking of which, I encountered a very annoying thing today." Wei Yuhuan thought of the little thief again and briefly recounted it to Qi Muying. Perhaps he felt that it was a bit stupid to call Cong Yuan out of self-indulgent desire, so he did not mention this part.
Qi Muying was also surprised when he heard this: "Who are these people? Breaking into a private house is not enough, but they are living inside it?"
"That's right, if we can catch him, he'll be sentenced to a year or so." Wei Yuhuan sneered and glanced at the screen again, not wanting to miss any movement on it. At the same time, he also told Qi Muying about his plan to install a camera to catch the turtle in the jar.
Qi Muying sneered: "It seems that you are really bored and have the time to do this yourself."
Wei Yuhuan joked to himself: "The night is long and lonely, I can only rely on this little thief to kill time."
However, there was no telling when the thief would appear. Wei Yuhuan felt anxious, as if he was being scratched by a cat.
Qi Muying paused and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to call him a 'thief'. After all, he didn't steal or rob. He just secretly moved in when the owner was not at home."
This behavior reminded him of an animal that lives on snail shells. This animal often eats shells and other mollusks and takes the shells for itself. It is called "hermit crab", also known as "hermit shrimp" or "white house".
When he told Wei Yuhuan about it, Wei Yuhuan immediately felt that this nickname was more descriptive than the one for the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
As he was speaking, the surveillance image on the screen suddenly flashed - one of the rooms lit up!
Wei Yuhuan stood up straight at once, his eyes shining: "Hey, this little crab is finally here!"
