The door opened silently, Yan Mu stood inside the door, watching Lu Chengyu standing outside the door with an embarrassed expression, and said warmly, "Come in."

Lu Chengyu entered Yan Mu's office, turned around and closed the door, and said a little embarrassedly, "Boss, I'm here to tell you about the shares." Although he has been shameless and skinless in his past life, his skin has become very thick, but today Facing Yan Mu's trusting eyes, he felt a little guilty.

As the president of Huading Company, Yan Mu took the opportunity to buy stocks at a bargain when he was competing with his opponent, and he almost ruined the opponent's plan. After joining Huading, the other party has always trusted him at work, and he also looked for opportunities to train his work ability, but he never mentioned it. He didn't really forget about it, but when facing Yan Mu and Cao Jingshen, he wanted to hide it for as long as possible. If he entered the company soon, let Yan Mu and Cao Jingshen know that they own 3% of Huading shares, maybe this friendship will not be so close.

But when the incident happened, he felt that he did not do this trick very well, and even a bit relied on others to treat him as a friend, so he dared to do it. He walked in front of Yan Mu, and the corner of his mouth moved a few times, but he couldn't open it.

"Liang Guoming was sentenced in the first instance. He was sentenced to thirteen years for several crimes." Yan Mu poured a glass of water for Lu Chengyu. "The court also ordered him to pay you a medical fee."

"Thank you," Lu Chengyu looked at the cup in his hand. It was not a disposable paper cup, but a white ceramic cup printed with blue and white flowers and lotus flowers, containing his favorite tea leaves. Holding the teacup tightly, he sighed and said, "Boss, when Huading was in civil strife, the person who bought Huading stock... was me."

He knew in his heart that without Yan Mu's help in the back, the first-instance verdict would not have come down so quickly, and the sentence was still so strict. With the financial resources of the Liang family, it would not be difficult to reduce the sentence. So this time the sentence is so severe, there must be Yan Mu's help in the back.

Yan Mu took out two boxes of biscuits from the cabinet and put them on the table. He sat down on the other side of the sofa, and looked at Lu Chengyu with a calm expression, as if he was saying, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Lu Chengyu felt that his desire to narrate was not so strong. At this time, shouldn't Yan Mu look at him with disappointment and sadness? This is both biscuits and tea, is it a tea party? The style of painting is so wrong, he can't talk anymore.

The biscuits are the kind he usually likes to eat. The package has been opened by Yan Mu, but the biscuits inside are still full, and none of them have moved.

"At that time, I won the lottery, and I still had a sum of money left by my parents," Lu Chengyu looked at the heat in the water cup, "At that time, I thought that Huading's stock price had dropped so low, and it was a bit unbelievable. I studied economics. I knew that there was profit in it, so I just took a gamble. Later, within a few days of buying a lot of scattered shares, I found that other people were buying a lot of stocks, and I didn't have much money left, so I just took it. hand."

Yan Mu looked at Lu Chengyu's hand holding the water cup tightly: "How much did you hit?"

"Twenty million," Lu Chengyu took a sip of water, "I'm sorry..." This kind of concealment from friends is really a shame.

"It's good to be able to win the lottery," Yan Mu got up and sat closer to Lu Chengyu, "I don't mean to doubt you, you are willing to take the initiative to tell me, I'm very happy."

Lu Chengyu raised his head and looked into Yan Mu's eyes. In these eyes, he did not see the slightest dissatisfaction and disappointment, but full of tolerance and trust, as if the other party had never doubted him from beginning to end, nor because of him. Dissatisfied behavior.

He felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something. It didn't hurt, but it was sore and swollen, with a little bit of heat. This feeling even made him feel tight under his throat, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Although I am the president of Huading, I will not easily doubt the important people around me," Yan Mu took out the biscuit box and put it within reach of Lu Chengyu, "although I don't know what you were like in the past. , but I believe you are not the one who came to plot against me."

The soreness in Lu Chengyu's heart became more and more obvious. He took another sip of tea and said, "It is my choice to work in Huading. It is my luck to meet such a good boss and colleagues."

"That's enough," Yan Mu didn't want Lu Chengyu to continue to be embarrassed, he got up and found a stack of documents on his desk, "Next week we're going to inspect the branch below, I don't have time to read these report sheets, these things You do it."

"Okay," Lu Chengyu took the information with a smile, and bent over to pick up the biscuits on the table, "Boss, you don't like to eat these, I'll help you eat them, so as not to waste them."

Yan Mu nodded with a sullen face, and after Lu Chengyu went out, he reached out for the teacup Lu Chengyu had drunk.

"By the way," Lu Chengyu suddenly pushed open the door, stuck his head in and said, "Brother Mu, thank you for your trust, I will do it well." He glanced at the teacup in Yan Mu's hand, and smiled as he turned his head She took it back and closed the office door again.

Yan Mu's back froze, staring at the door of the office for half a minute. After confirming that Lu Chengyu would not come back, he took a sip from the teacup, and then put the teacup back in place with a serious face. , as if the teacup was originally there, and he didn't touch it at all.

But he was a little excited because Lu Chengyu changed his name.

Brother Mu is also a good name.

Cao Jingshen was worried for an afternoon. After get off work, he met Yan Mu in the parking lot. After thinking about it, he leaned over to the other side and glanced at the empty parking space next to Maybach. Lu Chengyu's car was not there, and it seemed that he had already gone home, "Boss , Xiao Lu has already got off work?"

"Well," Yan Mu nodded, and after opening the car door, seeing that Cao Jingshen didn't mean to leave, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just asked Xiaolu if he got off work," Cao Jingshen coughed dryly, and since Yan Mu's expression was too difficult to distinguish, he had no choice but to say, "This kid is running too fast, the boss didn't leave, he ran first. "Young people should endure more hardships."

Yan Mu was silent for a while: "I let him go first."

The boss let Xiao Lu go first? Didn't he say he believed in Xiao Lu at noon, why has it changed now

Cao Jingshen felt that the boss might have a grudge against Xiao Lu. After thinking about it, he still didn't want someone as capable as Lu Chengyu to leave Huading because of this matter: "Boss, I think this may be a coincidence. Didn't we notify them for interview after carefully screening the information? If Xiao Lu is really a spy of a hostile company, then he has failed too much in the past few months."

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense," Yan Mu nodded. "So, I asked him to go back early to familiarize himself with the information of the branch."

"Did you decide to visit the branches next week and bring him?" Cao Jingshen pushed his glasses, "I think too much."

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Yan Mu got into the car, "Go home early."

Cao Jingshen silently watched Maybach drive out of the parking lot. He also wanted to thank the other party for not blaming him

After Lu Chengyu got home, he didn't have time to read the information of the branch, because Song Junyan knocked on the door as soon as he got home and sat on the sofa.

Lu Chengyu looked at Song Junyan who was standing outside the door with a hesitant expression on his face, and smiled politely: "What's the matter with Mr. Song?"

"After thinking about it, I think I need to tell you something, do you have time?" Song Junyan asked with a smile, "If you don't have time, we'll talk about it next time."

"I was just about to go out to eat, wait for me," Lu Chengyu turned around and entered the house, quickly took the wallet, cell phone and car keys, then changed his shoes, closed the door and asked, "What do you like to eat, Mr. Song?" He Wouldn't be stupid enough to invite Song Junyan into his house, who knows if the other party will do anything.

Song Junyan glanced at the closed door, and seemed to think seriously: "There is a western restaurant with a good environment on West Street, let's try it."

Lu Chengyu didn't refuse, he didn't take the initiative to mention that he was driving, and finally sat in Song Junyan's car. He pretended to look at the car unintentionally, "Mr. Song's car is good."

"Really?" Song Junyan's smile didn't reach his eyes, but it was a Volkswagen model worth less than one million, which was far worse than any of Yan Mu's cars that were worth more than ten million yuan, "It's alright. "

"My little Pentium with less than 100,000 yuan is still driving like a baby," Lu Chengyu said with emotion and envy at the moment, "It's still the coolest car of the boss, even the headlights are better than mine. valuable."

"Of course he can drive such a good car, huh," Song Junyan sneered, "the Yan family's people don't know how much blood they got on their hands for the money."

Lu Chengyu looked at Song Junyan with a puzzled expression, "Although the boss is a little more serious, he is quite nice."

Song Junyan held the steering wheel with blue veins on the back of his hand, and said disdainfully: "It's all superficial work. Mr. Lu, you are a good person. I don't want you to fall into the quagmire of the Yan family, so there are some things I want to tell you."

Seeing that Lu Chengyu's expression became suspicious, Song Junyan stopped talking. After the western restaurant parked the car, he gently said to Lu Chengyu: "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to think too much about you when I'm here."

Lu Chengyu followed him into the restaurant. After the two ordered the meal, Lu Chengyu hesitated and said softly: "I don't understand, even if there is really something among them, it shouldn't involve me. Also, why are you there? , they wouldn't dare to plot against me?" This guy really should have inquired about the lessons Yan Laosan received some time ago, not only did he lose Hua Ding's position, but he was also arrested for a period of time.

He remembered that on the day of Lu Dong's wedding, the third Yan was arrested. Some time ago, his wife spent a lot of money to walk him out because of a physical problem. Although this guy still wanted to get along with Yan Mu, he I was much less timid and did not dare to come to Huading to make trouble.

Song Junyan is now taking the place of Yan's third child to challenge Yan Mu's bottom line. Where does his confidence come from

Lu Chengyu is not the type of person who particularly likes Western food, but he still understands the etiquette of Western food, so he maintains his personable demeanor very well. In front of outsiders, he has always tried his best not to show his timidity.

Looking at Lu Chengyu's standard dining posture, Song Junyan smiled at Lu Chengyu and said, "Perhaps you don't know that Yan Mu and I are actually biological brothers."

Lu Chengyu looked at each other in surprise: "Brother?"

"When my mom fell in love with my dad, and after she was pregnant with me, she realized that my dad already has a wife and a child," Song Junyan sighed, "My mom doesn't want to be a third party who destroys the family, but she doesn't want to I gave up my life in my stomach and was going to go far away, but when my dad found out, things started to riot, and it spread to Aunt Mu."

"Later my mother lost her job, my grandparents were threatened, and even after I was born, someone was going to take me away from my mother," Song Junyan said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for my dad's protection, maybe we... "

"Aunt Mu tried her best to frame our mother and son. Before she died, she used the power of the Mu family to force my father not to marry my mother. Our mother and son have suffered so much over the years, but when my father died, Yan Mu didn't even allow us to attend the funeral. They even threatened us, saying that if my mother and I dared to spy on the Yan family's property, it would kill us..."

Lu Chengyu was cutting the steak while listening to Song Junyan tell about the history of Yan Mu's mother and son's persecution of their mother and son. In Song Junyan's story, Song Junyan's mother and son are a pair of strong and lonely mothers and sons, and Yan Mu's mother and son are the evil villain.

If Yan Mu's mother and son were like what Song Junyan said, Song Junyan's mother and son should have been killed long ago. Where can there be money to buy Liang's stocks, drive a million-dollar car, and buy a hardcover house casually.

"I don't want to argue with him, but why doesn't he want to let us go?" Song Junyan took a sip of red wine and said proudly, "I'm living well now, and I don't need anything from their Yan family!"

With a shocked expression, Lu Chengyu continued to eat.

After the meal was almost finished, Lu Chengyu finally finished listening to Song Junyan's story. He looked at Song Junyan's slightly angry face, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to have such a story behind your back."

"I'm telling you this, not for anything else, just to let you see what kind of person Yan Mu is," Song Junyan hesitated and said, "After all, you're his assistant now, so you still need more when you're working. Notice."

"I understand," Lu Chengyu nodded solemnly, then stood up suddenly and said, "I still have something to do, let's go first."

Song Junyan stood up and said comfortingly, "No matter what happens, I am willing to help you." If he was not mistaken, those things on the Internet should have spread to the ears of the Yan family, he would not believe it, The Yan family will let these rumors continue.

"Thank you," Lu Chengyu glanced at Song Junyan gratefully, hurried out of the door of the western restaurant, reached out to call a taxi around the corner, and reported the address of Yan Mu's house.

After getting in the car, he remembered that Yan Mu might not be at home. Lu Chengyu took out his mobile phone and called Yan Mu. After confirming that the other party was at home, he was relieved.

After Yan Mu hung up the phone, he looked at the two friends who were playing games in his place, and said, "Little Lu will come over later."

Zhuang Yu originally wanted to come, but the next moment he suddenly remembered that it was all night...

Zhang Zeyun put down the gamepad and glanced at the time: "I went home and went to bed." He stood up, picked up the jacket on the sofa, and said to Yan Mu, "Brother Mu, don't miss this opportunity."

Yan Mu glanced at him and said nothing.

"If you pass up this opportunity, you can only say that your EQ is negative," Zhuang Yu stood up and patted Yan Mu's shoulder, "I won't stay here to make light bulbs."

Yan Mu sent two friends to the door, stood outside the door and looked in the direction of the gate of the community for a while, suddenly remembered the living room that was messed up by his friends, and hurriedly turned back to clean up the living room and wash the fruit, trying to make the living room neat and tidy when Lu Chengyu came. look.

The taxi stopped outside the community. Lu Chengyu reported his name to the guard and let him in after the guard confirmed his visit at Yan Mu.

There was a distance from the door to Yan Mu's villa. Lu Chengyu was not in a hurry and walked forward unhurriedly. Who knew that after a short walk, he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

Under the orange light, Yan Mu's figure was a little blurry, and he walked steadily. Lu Chengyu couldn't help but stop, standing under the street light, watching him walk in front of him step by step. He blinked and said with a smile, "Brother Mu didn't make a special trip to pick me up, right?"

Yan Mu looked at the smiling Lu Chengyu, walked beside him, and walked side by side with him: "There are a lot of houses here. You drove here the first two times. I'm afraid you can't find the way by yourself."

This reason is not clever at all, Lu Chengyu gave Yan Mu a sideways glance, "Brother Mu, you are too careful, I drive so fast, I can find the way, how can I not know the way when I walk?"

Yan Mu coughed dryly, then nodded: "Oh."

Lu Chengyu felt that he heard a little grievance from the word, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "However, thank you for coming out to pick me up, otherwise I'll be boring walking alone."

From time to time, a car drove past them, as well as a nanny with a stroller passing by. Lu Chengyu looked up and saw an elderly couple walking by holding hands, although their hair was gray and their feet were staggering, people could see it. Hand in hand with four words.

Seeing that Lu Chengyu was paying attention to the old couple in front of him, Yan Mu leaned in the direction of Lu Chengyu, and the distance of half an arm became the distance of a fist, "There are many people in this community who have contributed to the country, and now they are old When you grow up, stay here to retire.”

Lu Chengyu took his eyes back from the two of them: "The living environment here is good." In the capital city where land is expensive, there are still so many green belts and public facilities in this community, which shows that a lot of money was spent on building this community. .

After the couple approached, they recognized Yan Mu and greeted Yan Mu with a kind smile. After Yan Mu respectfully said hello, they continued to walk with Lu Chengyu.

Lu Chengyu looked back at the couple and saw that although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they gave people an intellectual taste. He couldn't help but ask, "Are there many high-level people in this community?"

"What is an expert?" Yan Mu glanced at the couple. "They used to be from a national scientific research institution. Although they are now retired, they often participate in some scientific research projects."

"It's amazing," Lu Chengyu said with emotion, "These people are the backbone of our empire."

Yan Mu nodded. After walking for a while, the two finally got home. He found a pair of soft slippers for Lu Chengyu to put on and asked, "Have you eaten dinner?"

"I ate a little, but I'm not full," Lu Chengyu remembered what Song Junyan said, sighed, and took out his mobile phone to call up the secretly recorded audio during the meal, "Song Junyan, although his scheming is difficult to get into the lobby, but if he doesn't deal with it , I'm afraid there will be trouble."

He pressed the play button and asked Yan Mu to listen to the story told by this illegitimate child. It was both tragic and vivid, bleak and inspirational. If it wasn't for the close relationship between Lu Chengyu and Yan Mu, unlike ordinary bosses and employees, he would definitely Believe Song Junyan's story.

After the audio was played, Yan Mu was silent for a while under Lu Chengyu's sight, and finally said, "You are not full, do you want to eat a bowl of noodles, I didn't eat much at night."

"Okay." Lu Chengyu felt that Song Junyan didn't seem to be attractive with his fragrant noodles, and he didn't think it was shameful to come and eat a bowl of noodles.

Soon two bowls of tomato egg noodles came out of the pot, Lu Chengyu said while eating the noodles, "It seems that Song Junyan's purpose of approaching me is to provoke our relationship, does he think that as long as there is a conflict between the two of us, I will stand On his side?"

Yan Mu shook his head, expressing that he didn't quite understand Song Junyan's thoughts.

"Compared with you, Song Junyan is too far behind," Lu Chengyu took a sip of the noodle soup, the sour smell made him unable to take two more sips, "His method is more suitable for the ancient inner house, provided that he changes become a woman."

Yan Mu knew that Lu Chengyu was saying that Song Junyan could not stand on the stage, but because of Song Junyan's relationship with himself, he turned a corner and said it in a joking tone.

Yan Mu said, "I only saw him a few times when I was a child. The first time I saw him, he rolled down the stairs by himself."

"Then you said you pushed it?" Lu Chengyu felt that with Song Junyan's personality, it was really possible to use such a method that appeared in the TV series of the inner house.

Yan Mu nodded: "He thought his father would criticize me, but he was sent out of the Yan family." For him, he would never take this kind of means of hurting the enemy and self-destructing at all. , he is the grandson of the Mu family and the grandson of the Yan family.

As for whether he would push Song Junyan

Don't say that the Mu family doesn't believe it, even the Yan family doesn't believe it. Who would believe the words of an illegitimate child and doubt a successor who has performed well since childhood

The reason why the Yan family sent Song Junyan away was that he had a lot of heart, bad behavior, and no education. Lying at such a young age and wronging marriage and having children, isn't it even more terrible when you grow up

Although Lu Chengyu didn't quite understand the grievances and grievances in the rich and powerful family, he also knew in his heart that the Yan family did not despise Song Junyan's behavior, so they sent people away.

However, Song Junyan's mother should be a woman with a lot of heart, otherwise why did she add the word "strict" to his name. You can't use the surname of the Yan family, and you must insist on having a relationship with the Yan family. To say that she didn't care at all, he wouldn't believe it anyway.

But despite this, Song Junyan's life seems to be very nourishing, which may have been written by Yan's father, Lu Chengyu, as an outsider, naturally does not want to mention this kind of thing, "Probably because he was not accepted by the Yan family back then, so it is only now. I'll think about dealing with the Yan family."

"It's okay," Yan Mu said, "I will handle this."

Lu Chengyu felt that Yan Mu's tone seemed to be saying to buy a cabbage. Such a relaxed tone made him feel a little too serious.

After eating the noodles, Yan Mu said, "It's so late, so don't go back tonight."

Lu Chengyu glanced at the clock on the wall, three past nine, is it late

He silently retracted his gaze, then nodded, "Okay." Perhaps it was because Yan Mu's eyes were too serious, as if he would be sad if he refused. So if he refused, he couldn't say anything.

"You can watch TV by yourself, I'll go upstairs to clean up," Yan Mu handed the remote control to Lu Chengyu, turned and went upstairs, ready to go to the guest room to change a new set of bedding.

Seeing that Yan Mu had gone upstairs, Lu Chengyu turned on the TV, just in time to see the male protagonist in a hurry in front of his crush.

He reached out and touched his chin, then looked back upstairs again, and his eyes were filled with complexity.
