The temporary discussion in the living room did not end until 12 o'clock, and the busy birthday banquet came to an end. Chen Shiming went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. After going upstairs, he glanced deep into the corridor. The light dimmed.
Chen Shiming glanced at it, pushed open the door of his room and went in, placing the water glass on the long table.
The mobile phone address book swiped down, and finally stopped above Shen Yuhuai's name.
Chen Shiming took a sip before dialing out the phone.
It's just that after he dialed the call, the only response to him was a cold female voice—
'The number you dialed is currently active'
Chen Shiming: "...?"
Chen Qizhao didn't know that his family had been talking for a long time about coming out of the closet because of their relationship. He chatted with Shen Yuhuai until late at night, and it didn't end until the phone ran out of power. The quality of sleep at night was surprisingly good. After a night of no dreams until dawn, he got up early, and when he opened the door, he happened to meet Chen Shiming coming out of the room.
Chen Shiming was wearing a suit and holding two documents in his hand, frowning tightly when he closed the door.
He looked bad, and he didn't seem to have slept well.
The two brothers looked at each other from a distance of nearly five meters.
Just when Chen Shiming considered the language and planned to speak to break the silence,
Chen Qizhao on the other side pursed his lips and said hello, "Morning."
Chen Shiming paused for a while, and replied, "Morning."
Downstairs, Zhang Yazhi had just come out of the kitchen, when she saw the two brothers walking down side by side from a distance, the surprise in her eyes quickly softened, "Xiao Zhao, did you wake up so early today?" She ordered the servants to prepare more breakfast.
After a while, Chen Jianhong also came downstairs.
It is rare for a family to sit together in the morning with breakfast on the table.
Chen Qizhao didn't move his chopsticks, and was about to ask about the result of the unfinished discussion last night, when he heard Chen Jianhong's voice in the main seat.
"I have discussed the matter of love with your mother and Shi Ming. You are also an adult, and we have no right to interfere in the matter of love." Chen Jianhong's tone was still serious, but this time he paused properly and his face changed. Not as rigid as before, "Yu Huai is a good boy, you can do it if you like it, that is..."
He coughed, "Be careful."
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the soy milk in the bowl, "Oh, okay."
Zhang Yazhi watched from the side, noticing her husband's face and the awkwardness of her child, with a smile in her eyes.
After eating, Chen Qizhao took the medicine according to the time, and he was fine at home during the summer vacation. He took the spare medicine bag and prepared to go to the company.
When he was going out, he saw that Chen Jianhong's car hadn't left yet, and then the window was lowered. Chen Shiming sat in Chen Jianhong's car and said to Chen Qizhao, "Come on, just go over together."
In the headquarters of Chen's Group, Xu Te assistant was waiting downstairs in the company as usual, talking with another assistant beside him about his work arrangement for the day. When he saw his boss's car parked in front of the company building, he hurried over.
Just as soon as the door was pushed open, the boss got out of the car.
Before he opened his mouth, he saw Mr. Chen follow him out of the car, followed by another Chen Ershao.
For a time, the expressions of several assistants and executives in the company who were waiting outside changed.
The relationship between the father and son of the Chen family has been widely spread. Although it has eased during this period of time, it is the first time that the three of them come to the company in the same car.
When Chen Qizhao came out of the car, he saw the posture outside. He said to Chen Shiming, strode past a group of executive assistants, ignored the gazes of others, and entered the company directly.
The office has been relocated, and Xiao Zhou also has a small independent office. All the business in the Eastern District was given to Chen Qizhao. When he arrived at the company today, the managers in charge of handing over the business came over to hand over the situation.
Xiao Zhou has been busy for several days, and today he is busy with a new peak. In the past, only one project was enough for him to be busy. Now, with a bunch of business, two or three are okay, but he really can't get it to five or six. Just when he was about to leave with a pile of documents, Chen Qizhao asked him to find personnel.
"Ah?" Xiao Zhou instantly straightened his back, "Is there a problem?"
He thought about his recent business with self-reflection. He did make some small mistakes, but they were corrected in time, so as not to deduct money...
"Recruiting." Chen Qizhao looked at Xiao Zhou, his eyes stopped on the document in his hand, "So many things, do you plan to do it alone?"
Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment.
Chen Qizhao said: "If you hire a few more people, there will be more to come."
If it's just that little thing in the past, it can be done by Xiao Yiyi alone, but now that all the business in the East District is taken over, Xiao Yiyi will definitely not be able to do it alone. With the current situation of the Chen Group, after this trough period, it will inevitably usher in a stage of rapid development, and it is essential to form a new team.
The news in the company spread quickly, and it didn't take long for the news of Chen Qizhao's team to spread.
The dispersion of business in the Eastern District means that Chen Qizhao has more power. The person in charge who came to Chen Qizhao's office after receiving a new task held a list of employees. He originally thought that Chen Qizhao wanted to be deployed among the company's personnel, and he recommended a lot of people in the list. , Unexpectedly, Chen Qizhao only had one person after reading the list, and all the rest asked him to recruit again.
Xiao Zhou stood by and watched, seeing his boss talking to the person in charge with a serious expression, and the person in charge said more and more false, and finally almost hit the glass wall when he left the office with the recruitment request. In the company, Xiao Zhou has been in contact with Chen Qizhao for the longest time. In the eyes of outsiders, his boss is a layman who does not understand business, but Xiao Zhou knows that his boss's abilities are more than that. Most of the company's time is fishing.
This is the first time I have seen the boss talk to people in such a serious manner, with a tone that cannot be refused, and the things that should be requested are not ambiguous at all.
"Follow you for a while, and then you will find time to follow the recruitment." Chen Qizhao ordered.
Xiao Zhou took the job, and after going out, he noticed the whispers of others, all discussing the recruitment of Chen Qizhao's team. He ignored these private discussions, but thought about Chen Qizhao's actions today, and he found that his boss seemed to be different.
After he finished his work, he returned to the office, and Chen Qizhao had already read the documents sent by others.
The sorted documents are stacked on one side, and the office does not have the same vx message alert sound as before. The strange silence is matched with the boss who is working hard. Xiao Zhou is a little uncomfortable. He noticed that the boss is wrinkled. Eyebrows looked at the computer with a very serious expression, and vaguely saw the feeling of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen on his face.
He thought to himself that the Chen family is the Chen family, and the work looks exactly the same.
Xiao Zhou walked over to explain a few words, Chen Qizhao responded to his questions, and even arranged the rest of the business order for him.
"If there are not enough people in the past two days, go to Xiao Xu to borrow someone. Chen Shiming's side should be vacant, and it should be no problem to get some people to deal with it for half a month." Chen Qizhao looked at the computer intently, "The rest of the recruitment will be arranged. , I will come to the interview in the end, and the one who just transferred you will be familiar with the business."
Xiao Zhou hurriedly responded, seeing the boss frowning, and said, "Boss, is there anything else you can do to help?"
Chen Qizhao stopped when he heard the words, and his eyes stayed on him for a while, "Are you free now?"
Xiao Zhou: "Other things are done, there is time."
"That's right." Chen Qizhao moved his chair back slightly and showed Xiao Zhou the computer desktop.
Xiao Zhou thought it was a big deal, so he walked over with great spirit, and then saw a lot of listings on a real estate website... Many of them were listings of their group. When looking at the local area, they were all apartments or communities around S University. .
Chen Qizhao said: "The one that is close, the better the lighting."
Xiao Zhou took the notebook and recorded the boss's request with a serious expression, "Okay, do you have a commute request?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the words were not suitable. He was about to make a patch, but he heard the boss follow his words.
Chen Qizhao: "It's best not to be too far from the location of the Ninth Research Institute, and the commute should be limited to 5-10 minutes' walk."
Xiao Zhou was stunned, the Ninth Research Institute!
Shouldn't it be to consider the distance and class time of S University
Chen Qizhao asked, "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Xiao Zhou wrote down as required, "I'll make arrangements right away."
After Xiao Zhou left the office, Chen Qizhao sent the suites he liked to Xiao Zhou through vx. The desktop is full of folders, it looks like a previous life, Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, sneered and looked away, his eyes stayed on the last web page on the computer screen that was not closed, above it was a certain community in Changyang Street.
I didn't drive to the company in the morning. After the matter was settled, Chen Qizhao didn't want to disturb others, so he took a taxi to the vicinity of Changyang Street.
The driver stopped the car, "Little brother, it's time to go."
Chen Qizhao said thank you, pushed the door and got out of the car. The situation around here is a bit different from later generations, and the surrounding shops are also different, but he has been walking for nearly ten years on the road from Changyang Street to the business district.
The high-end community in Changyang Street has just been built a few years ago. Using the excuse of viewing the house, the sales center sent a salesman to follow him, introducing him to the lighting and scenery of the community along the way. Near, easy to commute to work…”
Chen Qizhao followed his introduction, and Yu Guang fell on the building in the distance.
The salesman noticed his gaze, and immediately took people to the sample room over there to see the building. This building is a relatively large building in their community, with a wide single-story area. Usually, not many people come to see the building here. He has been in the business for several years, and when he saw the brand-name shoes on the young man in front of him, he immediately realized the opportunity and took people to see the sample room without stopping.
The two had just turned into a staircase and entered the elevator when the customer next to them asked, "Go to the 16th floor and see."
The salesman turned over the owner's registration form in his hand and smiled awkwardly: "Is the 18th floor okay?"
Chen Qizhao looked at him suspiciously.
Sales: "That's it, sir, several of our houses on the 16th floor have been sold."
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment.
The sales press the 18th floor and introduce it very professionally: "Our 16th floor is not much different from the 18th floor. The lighting on the 18th floor is better. I will show you."
The elevator dinged, and the salesman led people in. There was a clear view of the unrenovated interior, and the interior layout after the renovation could be vaguely seen in the future.
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped at the threshold at the entrance, which was less than the height of his nails, and then he looked in a little bit, and the scenes in his memory were reshaped and reappeared little by little. After seeing from the data that some of Gu Shen's related personnel often wandered the streets of Changyang, some facts are self-evident, and the truth of Chen Shiming's 'suicide' may really be a tragedy that he did not have time to stop.
"Room 1602 sold?" Chen Qizhao asked.
The sale repeated: "Yes, all sold."
In his last life, until he moved here, Room 1602 was always vacant, and even Room 1601 was not sold, so he could buy this property at a low price.
Lin Shizhong was finished, and the Gu family and his son were about to finish their game. The gangster under Gu Shen who often wandered here was also imprisoned because of a crime when Gu Zhengsong was dealing with Gu Shen's forces... Even where they lived in their previous lives, It has been purchased by an unknown head of household. Everything is different from the previous life. They will no longer stay in room 1602, and Chen Shiming will not live in this corner in a wheelchair. All the trajectories seem to gradually become another trajectory after things change.
After coming out of the sales center, Chen Qizhao felt that today's weather seemed exceptionally bright.
He picked up his phone and was about to take a taxi to leave, when he saw the unanswered message on the phone.
After getting in the car, the driver asked, "Are you going near the Ninth Research Institute in S City?"
Chen Qizhao replied to the message, flipped through his phone and suddenly thought of something, he took the phone and showed it to the driver: "Well, you don't need to go to the main entrance, stop here for a while."
The Ninth Research Institute, during the lunch break, the laboratory groaned.
The experiment failed, and the efforts of the previous days were all in vain, which meant starting all over again. Fortunately, these people are used to working hard in front of the laboratory computer, and after sighing, they discussed what to eat for lunch. Several people crossed their shoulders and headed to the lounge. While talking, Liu Sui's eyes stopped at Shen Yuhuai, who was still in the laboratory. Seeing this, he said, "Yu Huai, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you."
Shen Yuhuai stood with his back to them, registering the data, "Soon."
At the entrance of the laboratory, several people did not leave immediately, and other colleagues communicated.
"It's rare to see him late this morning. Old Wang is still asking if he overslept."
"He seems to be very busy recently, and asking him to go out for dinner is basically silent."
Liu Sui leaned against the wall and smiled meaningfully: "You don't know, right? Shen Yuhuai didn't come last night because of his goddess' birthday. They went to celebrate the goddess's birthday, and they were all adults who were late this morning. What you all know."
"I'm going, can't you see?"
"Liu Sui, you know so much, why didn't you say it."
"I wanted to ask last time, who is Shen Yuhuai's goddess? There are not many girls in S University who have contact with us."
Liu Sui watched the people in the lab come out and pouted, "Ask him."
"Ask what?" Shen Yuhuai handed the scoreboard to one of his colleagues with a tired tone.
Not far from the lounge, passersby asked Shen Yuhuai what happened last night.
Shen Yuhuai paused for a while after hearing the words, "Being late in the morning is because the phone forgot to charge and the alarm clock didn't ring."
"It's that simple? Isn't there a more in-depth topic?" Liu Sui hinted with a wink.
Shen Yuhuai pushed open the door of the lounge, thinking of Chen Shiming's two phone calls last night, and he finally fell asleep at three o'clock... He glanced slightly, and then took off his white coat, "Does it count for a call?"
Liu Suigang was about to speak, but suddenly noticed that Shen Yuhuai's clothes were a T-shirt he had never seen before.
Shen Yuhuai's clothes have always been simple and simple. Usually, he likes to wear solid-color clothes, rather than a T-shirt with a lot of printing and a bells and whistles. Not only Liu Sui, but also several colleagues next to him also looked over, obviously attracted by the clothes on Shen Yuhuai's body. I didn't look carefully in the white coat in the morning, but now I take off the white coat, the printing here is too obvious...
"Yu Huai." Liu Sui hesitated before saying, "The style of yours is a bit changeable."
Shen Yuhuai glanced down at his clothes, thinking of the news in VX when he went out in the morning, his boyfriend asked him if he was still wearing his clothes
He took out the phone from the locker, "It's not mine."
"I said how could you possibly wear it..." Liu Sui said halfway through his reaction, "I'll go, hers! Shouldn't this be her pajamas? My mother, Shen Yuhuai, I, I didn't realize you were so arrogant before, Now I think you guys are too good at playing."
Just as Shen Yuhuai was about to explain, the topic was already skewed to the other side.
There was no other news on the mobile phone. The boyfriend didn't look for him in the morning. He sent him a message, then put the mobile phone in his pocket, and followed his colleagues to prepare to eat in the cafeteria.
There is a distance between the laboratory and the cafeteria. Shen Yuhuai glanced at his mobile phone from time to time, and when he swiped the access card to leave the laboratory building area, he found that there were a lot of people entering and leaving the institute today. Some large instruments are being moved into the laboratory building at the rear one by one under the transport of workers, and a few people in suits and ties are talking to the people in the institute.
"Are there any instruments coming in today?" Shen Yuhuai asked casually.
Liu Sui, who was talking to someone, came back to his senses, followed his gaze, and explained, "Oh, this morning, Pharaoh did say that there are a lot of instruments coming in today. We will have a day off tomorrow. I heard that we are experimenting. The one in the room will also be replaced."
Another colleague said: "Yu Huai, don't you know, our new project has been spotted by investors, and they should come to inspect it in two days. You were late in the morning and didn't listen. Pharaoh told us about it."
Shen Yuhuai said, "Which company?"
"Golden Lord's father?"
Liu Sui added: "Just our local famous one, oh to Yueze Chemical."
A colleague noticed Shen Yuhuai's expression and asked, "What's the matter? Old Wang said that if you have any questions, you can go to the office to discuss it with him."
"No." Shen Yuhuai retracted his gaze and noticed that the phone vibrated and a new vx message popped up.
Liu Sui glanced curiously, saw Shen Yuhuai chatting with someone, and when he saw that the avatar was Chen Qizhao, he looked away boringly.
In the distance, several men in suits handed the instrument form to the person in charge of the research institute. One of them raised his mobile phone slightly and pressed the camera of the mobile phone to the young people who left side by side.
At this time, the staff of the research institute who noticed that the other party was taking pictures looked sideways, and immediately said, "Hello, photography is not allowed in our laboratory building."
"No, I'll just take two landscapes." The man in the suit opened the photo album to show him, "The landscape in your place is really nice."
The staff frowned and glanced at the photo album, not wanting to be too harsh on the sponsor, and said euphemistically, "The scenery can't be photographed either."
The cafeteria was not too far away. When Liu Sui walked to the entrance of the cafeteria, he suddenly saw Shen Yuhuai stop, and he wondered, "Yu Huai, what's wrong?"
Shen Yuhuai lowered his head and replied to the message, and said casually, "I'll pick up someone."
"Ah?" Liu Sui: "It's all dinner, who are you picking up?"
In the Chen Group, today's busyness continues.
After dealing with Gu Shen's affairs, Special Assistant Xu returned to the company with his boss. At this time, he was standing by the desk, and it was rare to see his boss yawning three times in just half an hour. He reported Chen Qizhao's movements today. Boss, he politely said, "It's still early for the afternoon meeting. Would you like to lie down in the lounge for a while at noon?"
"No, I'll prepare a cup of coffee later." Chen Shiming's face was serious, and he continued to look at the files on the computer, "If he needs someone over there, you should send someone over first, Xiao Zhou can't be busy by himself, you can help him in the early stage. ."
Chen Qizhao's rumors in the company were not small this morning. Many departments or high-level executives heard the news and wanted to put people under Chen Qizhao's hands.
"He's in the office? Did he take his medicine at noon?" Chen Shiming asked.
Assistant Xu: "No, Er Shao left the company after finishing the work in the morning."
Assistant Xu was not sure about his boss's attitude. In the morning, he felt that his boss was in a bad mood, but now he feels that his boss's mood is okay. He thought of the Shura field in the Chen family villa yesterday and the strange scene he saw at the gate of the building this morning. It was hard to guess what his boss was thinking for a while, but when he thought of the exact report that the boss asked for, he had no choice but to say: "There is one more thing. Just now, Xiao Zhou adjusted the information of some houses in the East District."
Chen Shiming asked: "Housing? What is he doing with this?"
Xu Tezhu hesitated to say anything, so he could only say: "It's what the second young master asked, let Xiao Zhou help him see the house."
Chen Shiming: "What kind of housing? Isn't there a ready-made office building?"
Assistant Xu: "No."
"Second Young Master wants to buy an apartment next to the Ninth Research Institute, saying that it should be close... It is convenient for commuting."
There was a strange silence in the office, Xu Te assistant stopped when he saw his boss's hand turning over the document, and the page of the document was not turned over for a long time.
