It's almost mid-December now, and it's the end of the year, which is the busiest time for all walks of life.
Small, privately run companies need to summarize the results of this year and formulate goals for the coming year, not to mention the scale of the Lou family. The reporting work of a single department can drive people crazy.
Liu Ruyi had just sent Lou Yu home 15 minutes before receiving the call. When she walked out of the gate of Lou's house, she kept on working on the phone to ensure that Lou Yu would get all the reports without any mistakes tomorrow morning.
She got into the car and was about to buckle up her seat belt when another call came in to remind her. Liu Ruyi glanced at her and her heart beat suddenly. She hurriedly spoke as fast as she could, and hurriedly said to the other end of the phone: "You discuss the rest with Zhao Zhu."
Before the end sound finished, Liu Ruyi switched the call neatly. She opened her mouth, and was so shocked that she couldn't say hello for a moment.
It wasn't until she heard Li Zhiqing say "Sister Liu" at the beginning that she was a little dazed.
The commercial workplace is notoriously unfriendly to many women. Women are in an absolutely disadvantaged position in the living environment. If they want to stand out in this gender restriction, they must be harder and harder than other men.
Liu Ruyi's ability to stand out from the competition and become Lou Yu's constant special assistant for many years shows that she is a monster in the eyes of ordinary employees both in terms of personal ability and psychological quality.
Logically speaking, this female "monster" should be calm and composed under any circumstances, but the fact that Li Zhiqing was willing to take the initiative to contact her was too surprising, Liu Ruyi was surprised and even felt a little... flattered.
After listening to the other party's request, Liu Ruyi buckled the seat belt neatly, and at the same time gave the driver a driving look, and replied: "Okay, just wait a moment, I will arrange it right away."
After the call was over, Liu Ruyi made two or three more phone calls. The vehicle was about to drive to the bustling urban area and signaled the driver to stop. Taking advantage of the time to get off the car, she told the other party where to go and who to pick up. rent.
Since Li Zhiqing contacted her directly instead of choosing to go to Lou Yu first, it showed that he didn't want to expose this matter to Lou Yu's eyes. Liu Ruyi knew what she should pay attention to during the cooperation process without asking too many questions.
When Li Zhiqing walked out of the bedroom, he picked up a set of clothes for himself, hung up the phone, and changed them neatly in the living room. After leaving, he turned his head and saw You Chuan standing by the door silently looking at him. Stretching the rubber band with his fingertips, he smiled and said, "I'm going out for a while, you can't follow me."
You Chuan stepped forward, raised his hand around the back of his head, and stroked his hair, still feeling a little wet: "It's not done yet."
Li Zhiqing was about to say "soon", when the surface of his scalp suddenly felt cold, very weak, as if being swept by the tail of the wind. Before he could feel it carefully, You Chuan shook the back of his hand and took the rubber band , Help him tie up his dry and smooth hair.
You Chuan was standing in front of him, still only wearing a pair of trousers, the muscles of his upper body stretched and undulated as he raised his arms.
Li Zhiqing simply slid into his arms, wrapped his hands around that lean and powerful waist, and opened his mouth to bite his chin lightly.
You Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Having tied Li Zhiqing's hair so many times, You Chuan has become completely proficient in his movements. He skillfully tied a ponytail, lowered his arms, and tightly encircled the person who was biting him just now, bowed his head and kissed Li Zhiqing's eyebrows. Kiss: "Go."
"The way you looked at me just now, I thought you had to follow me." Li Zhiqing joked.
You Chuan looked at him: "Didn't you say no?"
The driver did not drive to the International Trade Center so quickly, and Li Zhiqing was not in a hurry to go downstairs. He buried his head in You Chuan's neck and rubbed him, hugging him even tighter.
You Chuan suddenly leaned over to kiss him in the bedroom just now, Li Zhiqing didn't take any precautions, and the tip of his tongue inevitably touched him a little during the movement, although there was no reaction, but he still felt that the blood temperature was a little hotter than before.
Hugging each other again now, Li Zhiqing felt that You Chuan smelled much better. Physiologically, he vaguely felt an impulse similar to that of a squirrel discovering fir cones, which made him feel nervous when he saw the screenshot sent by Zheng Anlin. Negative emotions relieved a lot.
The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the curtains in autumn and winter were dark and heavy, so that the outside light could not come in. Only a long strip of light slanted out from the crack in the bedroom door, and the end was just across the toes of the two. .
Li Zhiqing hugged him for a while, and then let go when he felt that it was almost time. Before leaving, he pointed at You Chuan's chest and laughed: "Just keep it like this, and continue when I come back."
You Chuan also laughed twice, and when Li Zhiqing left, he bent over and picked up the pajamas that the other party had thrown on the back of the sofa, folded it and held it in his hand, still smiling.
Li Zhiqing didn't bring a mask when he came out. Fortunately, the imperial capital is in the north, and winter nights are relatively cold. There are no people on the street at midnight, and the square in front of the hotel is empty. Only the staff on duty stand under the lights, looking like sculptures from a distance.
Li Zhiqing originally felt a little strange hotness in his body, with his jacket open, but when the cool night breeze blew over his skin, most of the heat was suppressed directly. He shivered instinctively, and hurriedly buttoned up the buttons.
This scene happened to be seen by the driver who drove over. He thought that he had come too late and had kept Li Zhiqing waiting in the wind for too long. When he got out of the car, his expression was a little nervous, and he opened the back door and apologized in a deep voice.
Li Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, waved his hands and smiled, "No, I just came down."
Desserts and hot drinks were prepared in the car, Li Zhiqing didn't move, leaned back in the chair and took out the phone again, Zheng Anlin's unread messages had accumulated a dozen or so, which were the marketing accounts of various Weibo companies that she listed with great influence, Most of them are still kept in captivity by entertainment companies. Zheng Anlin is taking the lead for him.
Li Zhiqing glanced at it hastily, turned his head to look out of the car window, and let out a contemptuous short smile with meaningful meaning.
Wu Zhengyan flew to three cities today, and he didn't land at the airline's partner hotel until eight o'clock in the evening. His last arrangement for this job is to take photos and short videos of the hotel suites tomorrow morning and evening respectively.
Families who set foot in the political circle are most afraid of being labeled as extravagant. Wu Zhengyan usually pays attention to clothing, clothing and accommodation in activities in the circle. Even if he makes a lot of money, he may fly to various places in the top class like now , and the chances of staying in the presidential suite openly are almost zero.
Rather than saying that he is busy with work recently, it would be better to say that Wu Zhengyan is enjoying himself while working.
The presidential suite of this hotel ranks third in the country, and the price and facilities are staggering. Wu Zhengyan felt nervous from the moment he entered the hotel lobby. He was not sleepy at all even after a long day of running around. He was still in high spirits at midnight Watch with delight as the chef cooks and bakes treats in the suite.
The aroma of the food is getting stronger, and it is ready to be plated.
In order to maintain his friendly image, Wu Zhengyan had a chat with the chef. He had just put down the champagne in his hand and was about to enjoy it. The private butler who was always smiling was stunned after receiving an internal instruction, and his eyes turned strangely. Wu Zhengyan, with a relaxed face, swept over him, and even unconsciously distanced himself from him.
Wu Zhengyan caught a glimpse of the change in the opponent's movements from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him.
Unexpectedly, the personal butler who had treated him well before looked him up and down unabashedly, with an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.
"What?" Wu Zhengyan felt uncomfortable when he saw him.
Due to his professionalism, the personal butler still politely smiled and nodded at Wu Zhengyan when he received the news from above. While lifting his chin, he gestured to the chef behind the island counter and the service staff at the other end of the long table.
Those few people were also taken aback, even if they were puzzled, they didn't ask any more questions. In the next second, they finished the work at hand very efficiently and left the suite in an orderly manner.
The sound of footsteps that gradually disappeared stabbed Wu Zhengyan's poor self-esteem, and he frowned immediately. The shame of the service being terminated and the unreasonable panic entangled aroused a trace of indignation.
Wu Zhengyan restrained the corners of his mouth and asked slowly, "What do you mean?"
The question he asked was like stabbing himself again. Before he could fully raise the tone of the question, the personal butler turned to look at the assistant brought by Wu Zhengyan: "Miss Ding, please do the same." leave with me."
Wu Zhengyan's assistant was a little dazed by the sudden change in the atmosphere in the room, but after listening to the other party's words, he became even more stupid.
She looked at the other party, and then at Wu Zhengyan, whose face was dull. She couldn't understand what was going on now, so she could only pinch her fingertips helplessly, not knowing whether she should stay or not. leave.
"Miss Ding, please leave with me." The private butler repeated in the same tone.
"What? You want her to go to the corridor to play the floor?" Wu Zhengyan said.
With such a busy schedule as an artist, Wu Zhengyan's assistant can take five days off with pay to handle private affairs, and can sleep in a bedroom in the suite on the first night after returning. One can imagine how her relationship with Wu Zhengyan is. .
The personal butler replied: "Miss Ding can come back later, but for now, please leave with me first." He paused, and then said, "This is also for your consideration, Mr. Wu."
He didn't get through the words, but Wu Zhengyan was able to automatically complete the words through the eyes of the other party: This is also for your sake, Mr. Wu.
On the one hand, Wu Zhengyan was really about to become angry, and on the other hand, he was agitated by these words to a greater extent, and the latter was obviously more important. He couldn't even say no to the assistant's questioning eyes. words come.
After successfully persuading and comforting the assistant surnamed Ding, the personal butler finally lifted his feet and left the restaurant. His posture was still polite, but careful observation showed that his pace was a little hasty.
Wu Zhengyan felt very stuffy in his chest, but he couldn't find any way to vent it out. When the restaurant was completely quiet, he slapped the table, slammed his body into the back of the seat, and took a deep breath.
Just looking at the posture of clearing the field just now, you know that someone is coming.
Wu Zhengyan waited for a while and didn't hear the sound of footsteps approaching him. After holding it for a while, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he simply got up and went out to find out.
Just passing through the square arched door connected to the living room, Wu Zhengyan's head buzzed, followed by a low humming in his ears, and he froze in place, unable to feel the weight of his head and feet.
The entire hotel adopts the European castle-style architectural style. From the lobby on the first floor to the executive floor on the tenth floor, complex golden elements are used. The intricate carvings that can be seen everywhere in the living room of the suite are even more exquisite and unique.
The details of various patterns and the light of the crystal lamp are intertwined and blended together, giving the person standing behind the sofa in the reception area a sense of vulgarity that is incompatible with this world.
This living room was originally designed in a retro southern European style, but now with the young people over there, it suddenly has a mellow taste of a western court.
—how is he? Why is it him
"Mr. Wu is really enthusiastic." Li Zhiqing didn't even look at him, still turning the pages of the book with his head down, "Promoting the model, even the partners are not left behind."
The living room was large and empty, even if the voice of the other party was not loud, it was enough to clearly reach Wu Zhengyan's ears.
But at this moment, Wu Zhengyan's mind was full of rotten sand, and the particles rubbed against each other tightly, making his whole body ache from the noise, and he had no time to listen to what Li Zhiqing said to him, he could only stare at those thin lips Open up and down without haste.
"I'm afraid this suite is not what the airline means?" Li Zhiqing said a question, but his expression was determined. He finally closed the book cover, stood up straight and walked over, "The price is 86,000 for one night. Add another 30% to the fee, and you are really willing to live here for two days."
As the distance shortened, Wu Zhengyan finally caught every word the other party uttered.
"Grandpa Wu's character, if he finds out about this, do you want your legs, or don't you want them?" After talking about the end, Li Zhiqing had already walked in front of him, and every time he broke a sentence, the book in his hand The book hit Wu Zhengyan lightly on the forehead.
Wu Zhengyan didn't realize it until the third time he slapped him. He still couldn't believe it in his heart, but his body instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
Before he could move, Li Zhiqing loosened his fingertips slightly, and with a twist of his wrist, pinched the side of the book, and slammed the spine of the book against the wall next to his face, with a "snap", which made people's eardrums hurt.
Wu Zhengyan shuddered suddenly, and didn't turn his neck away.
"I heard that this place can accommodate 60 people for a reception. Since you are going to stay until the day after tomorrow, it seems that you want to hold a small banquet here tomorrow night." The two of them have been together for a long time, and they will really infect each other. Although Li Zhiqing is not like Tang Shunshi I have seen You Chuan look at dead people like that, but now I have learned half of the essence, and said with a smile, "But Mr. Wu always likes to challenge the limit, and you plan to put 600 people in a place that can hold 60 people. Get it all in."
What Wu Zhengyan tried to get in touch with happened to be 600 marketing accounts.
Of course, not every person behind the account has seen those compressed files. Some people didn’t even have time to open the email. Zheng Anlin also happened to be among the first to see it. Judging from the content of the invitation, it might be related to Li Zhiqing. Pretend to agree to cooperate in exchange for information.
Li Zhiqing still has some breath from You Chuandu left in his lungs, and it hasn't been completely stripped off after two blasts of cold wind.
His eyebrows were exquisite, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with redness. When he looked at him coldly from a close distance, he was shocked and even revealed a sense of beauty that seduced people's hearts.
When Wu Zhengyan and Li Zhiqing looked at each other, he was distracted, and his chest trembled violently.
It's not that he hasn't envied Li Zhiqing's appearance, everyone has a heart for beauty, let alone a group of artists who rely on their faces to attract fans.
If Li Zhiqing hadn't collided with his personality, causing a group of his fans to shift positions, and some advertisers would only consider him after being rejected by Li Zhiqing, Wu Zhengyan would not be as bored with him as he is now.
After his heart beat, Wu Zhengyan was so enraged by his amazement at this moment, his anger was emboldened, and he actually walked out of his psychologically weak position all of a sudden.
No matter what the elders of Wu Zhengyan's family had been in the barracks, and he was a little skilled, he raised his arm and knocked away the book next to him, and said with a sneer, "You..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhiqing suddenly bent his elbows. Just as Wu Zhengyan said two words, his chest was hit hard by the back cover of the book. The force was so fierce that his heart and lungs trembled.
Wu Zhengyan bowed his body and coughed dryly out of physical instinct. As a result, his chin was clamped by the other party's hands before his back was bent. He felt his jawbone tighten and loosen, and then there was a "crack" in his ear, and his mouth moved uncontrollably. Opening it wide, it became an extremely standard frightened mouth shape.
"What about me? I'm here this time, and I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Li Zhiqing lost his book, and patted his left side of the face twice with his hand, not too hard, but his voice was crisp, "What am I talking about, what are you talking about?" Just listen quietly and don't squeeze out a word for me."
The temporomandibular joint is the most complicated joint in the whole body. Once it slides out of the joint socket, the muscles and ligaments are tense together, and it is impossible to recover in a short time without relying on external force, especially for Wu Zhengyan, who was deliberately pinched and slipped out for the first time. .
His jaw was so sore, and the result of his overgrown mouth was that saliva oozes down from the corners of his mouth uncontrollably,
Wu Zhengyan didn't bother to rub his chest, and hurriedly knocked on his chin and the top of his head. The book in his arms fell to the ground immediately, with the cover facing up, revealing eight words in gold: Inheritance of the wealthy businessman Anthony.
It happened to be the one he had thrown away.
"I told you in the morning, play with your phone less and read more." Li Zhiqing passed him into the restaurant, picked up the phone on the long table and walked back, grabbed his right hand and pressed it on the fingerprint unlocker.
Wu Zhengyan wanted to struggle, but Li Zhiqing precisely pinched his numb tendons, his whole arm went numb, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Not only did you not listen, but you played with your phone even more crazy." Li Zhiqing flipped through his text messages and call records, confirmed the person he contacted today, put the phone in his hand, and still smiled, "I , generally have a very good temper, as long as you don't overdo it, I'll treat you as a young man with a personality that refuses to admit defeat, pretend you didn't see it, and pass with a smile."
He is several years younger than Wu Zhengyan, it's actually a bit funny to say it, but Wu Zhengyan's chest hurts, and his jaw hurts too, it's even more uncomfortable to be looked at by Li Zhiqing like this, let alone laughing, he can't do anything else except open his mouth expression.
"But you keep repeating this over and over again, are you annoying?" Li Zhiqing saw the wet and sticky liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth to his chin and onto his clothes, and took a half step back in disgust.
Wu Zhengyan only felt that he had been severely humiliated by Li Zhiqing. In this embarrassing state, he was filled with instinctive shame and unwillingness.
"I don't care if it's you who caused the trouble alone, or you just played a leading role." Li Zhiqing bent over to pick up the book, and also patted it on his hand, "As long as this banquet starts, I will be the first one." Hang you up." He deepened his smile, adding, "There is no time limit."
Wu Zhengyan wanted to throw away the things on his hand and press his chin back.
Li Zhiqing didn't let go of his strength, and pressed firmly: "Of course, if you really like the excitement, I won't tell you 'no'."
Wu Zhengyan murmured "Ah" twice, then lightened his hand, and the other party pointed at his forehead and heart.
Li Zhiqing restrained all his smiles, and almost stopped every word when he spoke again: "You can try."
That's the threat unmistakable.
