It was already night when Gu Ye came back. Walking on the quiet path in the community, he saw two men walking across from him: Qiao Yang, and his assistant Liu Wen.
He wanted to look away, but stayed for a moment inexplicably.
At this moment, I remembered the unpleasantness that happened with Qiao Yang in the stairs.
He has always been able to maintain a generous and gentle image, especially among people in the circle who have cooperation.
However, he couldn't hold back his anger with Qiao Yang just now, and the method was still a childish provocation.
Gu Ye's face was slightly uncomfortable.
Qiao Yang changed out of his suit, wearing a loose off-white sweater and light blue jeans, looking a few years younger and more like a big boy.
It's just that the smile he used to meet in the past few times is no longer there.
His assistant Liu Wen was persuading him: "Qiao Shao, there are several important meetings tomorrow, you can't drink too much alcohol. And the young masters of the Liang family..."
Liu Wen hesitated, knowing that Qiao Yang usually likes to play with Liang Wei and the others. But the children of the wealthy family usually don't do business, and they go crazy when they play.
Qiao Yang understood what he meant: "Don't worry, I know."
Liu Wen was still worried: "Otherwise, I'll go with you."
"No need."
Qiao Yang opened the car door alone and got into the car.
here.
Geng Hui said, "The third young master of the Qiao family is going to the field, right?"
Gu Ye: "What are you going to catch?"
As Gu Ye's special assistant, Geng Hui is the best at gathering intelligence: "Someone from Yemei just heard news that Liang Wei had taken over the entire fourth floor of Yemei, saying that he wanted to surprise the third young master of the Qiao family."
"I heard that Liang Wei also took away Qiao Yang's first love, and said that he would reconcile Qiao Yang and the others tonight."
"I don't know what this reconciliation means."
Geng Hui shook his head and sighed, "Half the city knows about it. If something happens, it won't make headlines tomorrow."
"By the way, it is said that the first love was a boy, and he is still in his senior year."
Gu Ye looked at the direction Qiao Yang was leaving with a complicated expression.
He whispered: "You call Qiao Zhen and tell him about it."
Geng Hui asked him in astonishment: "Ah? You, do you want to take care of it?"
Gu Ye stepped forward, his voice was cold:
"If something goes wrong with Qiao Yang, the image of Qiao's group will fall, and Qiao's stock price will fall, which will now affect our Gu family."
Geng Hui replied, confused in his heart: The Gu family does have a cooperation project with the Qiao family, but it is not to the point of loss and prosperity.
～～
Qiao Yang rushed all the way, and when he arrived, he found out that Yemei was not the small street bar he imagined, but a private membership-only clubhouse.
The splendid buildings, the grand gates, the luxury cars lined up at the door, and the embossed embossed signs on the walls exude luxury and majesty, making most people stop looking.
The parking boy saw Qiao Yang getting off the car, and immediately greeted him respectfully: "Young Master Qiao, you are here, Young Master Liang is waiting for you on the fourth floor."
Qiao Yang threw the car keys to him, took out his phone, pointed to the bar in the photo, and asked, "Where is this?"
The parking boy took a look and returned: "If you go back to Qiao Shao, this is the bar on the third floor, where guests can rest."
The bar is in a corner of the third floor, which is relatively quiet compared to the lively upstairs and downstairs. Bartenders in black and white uniforms stand behind the bar, quietly making drinks of various colors and flavors for guests.
Qiao Yang sat beside the bar. He looked at the black wood wine cabinet, the wine glass rack, the grand piano, and his own image was still reflected on the starlit bar, as if he had returned to the bar in the original world.
The bartender came over and asked, "Young Master Qiao, do you need a drink?"
"Need not."
Qiao Yang suppressed the excitement and nervousness in his heart and asked him, "Who is the boss here?"
The bartender was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You ask Ye Mei's supervisor, he is also playing with Liang Shao on the fourth floor."
Qiao Yang remembered that Yemei was one of the Liang family's properties.
With one hand, he stroked the brightly painted bar with the wine glasses reflected, and asked, "The bar and wine racks are well designed, where did you hire a designer?"
Bartender: "Well, I don't know about it. I've only been here for half a year. The Yemei store was built ten years ago."
… ten years ago.
My brother died five years ago.
Qiao Yang's high excitement gradually cooled down.
Maybe the same design was just used by accident.
But it was too accidental.
He looked at the piano grand piano: "Is this also placed here for ten years?"
"It seems that the piano has always been there. Because on weekends, singers will be invited to play and sing, or bands will perform. Occasionally, there are guests who improvise a few songs."
The bartender asked with a smile, "Do you want to try it, Mr. Qiao?"
Qiao Yang put down the wine glass and moved his fingers. Just as he was about to walk over, Liang Wei came over.
"Yo, Young Master Qiao, why are you here? Today is a show for you, and the guys are waiting. Besides, the guys still have gifts for Young Master Qiao today."
Liang Wei didn't see Qiao Yang making a fool of himself at Gu Ye's celebratory banquet. After he came back, he was always upset. After discussing with a few buddies, the banquet was held.
Not only can I be happy and happy, but I can also play with Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang responded lightly: "Gift?"
Liang Wei smiled mysteriously: "I got someone for Shao Qiao, hehe, this time Shao Qiao will definitely be pleasantly surprised."
In the original novel, Liang Wei and others encouraged Qiao Yang to do stupid things.
However, the original owner was used and framed without knowing it, and his reputation was ruined a little by them, and they smeared the century-old wealthy Qiao family again and again.
Qiao Yang sneered in his heart: If you don't let them know his current nature, I'm afraid he will still worry about and pester him in the future.
He chuckled lightly: "Then, let's go."
The man raised his chin slightly, his sharp Danfeng eyes narrowed into crooked crescent knives, with an incomprehensible look.
Liang Wei's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Staring blankly at Qiao Yang, he didn't react until someone walked in front of him.
As if he had lost a bit of momentum, Liang Wei gritted his teeth and annoyed: Just pretend to be forceful and wait to see how you cry tomorrow!
The largest VIP box on the fourth floor is Liang Wei's home court.
It was eerie and hazy, filled with smog, with scantily clad women and white-skinned young boys huddled beside each of the wealthy children.
Qiao Yang frowned, found an empty corner and sat down, and asked bluntly, "Tell me, what do you want to play?"
Liang Wei immediately pushed a young boy over, with a triumphant smile on his mouth: "How? The brothers found it for you, is it interesting?"
The boy is not tall, but he has clear eyes and a well-proportioned figure. Tight and stylish clothing framed the boy's slender waist and slightly raised hips.
It's just that his slightly shy look and unnatural movements show that he is not used to this environment.
He lowered his head and glanced at Qiao Yang quietly, then quickly avoided it.
Qiao Yang raised his eyes and looked at Liang Wei: "What do you mean?"
"No!"
Someone on the side exclaimed with a smile, reminding him:
"Qiao Shao forgets people like this?"
"He's Mo Yu, the person you chased after in high school! Think again."
"Qiao Shao was sent abroad because of him."
Joe Yang: …
He remembered.
When the original owner was in high school, he fell in love with a boy named Mo Yu.
The character is arrogant and somewhat paranoid, young master. When he likes a person, he begins to pursue a tough pursuit and sends various gifts every day. Forcing people to be with him.
Mo Yu refused to agree, and was scolded by him fiercely, and was almost beaten.
Mo Yu was timid, and because of the power of the Qiao family, he did not know how to resist, so he did not dare to refuse. In the end, in order to escape from the original owner, he was too scared to go to school, but the original owner ran to someone's house to harass him.
When Qiao Tiancheng found out about this, he was furious and gave the original owner a lesson. In order to prevent him from harassing Mo Yu, he directly threw the person abroad.
Qiao Yang is speechless: What's the matter!
How many messes does the original owner have for him to clean up!
Mo Yu stood beside Qiao Yang and apologized nervously and bewildered: "Qiao Yang, no, no, Qiao Shao, I was young and ignorant back then, and I hope Shao Qiao can forgive me."
Qiao Yang avoided him a little and said softly, "No, I didn't cause you to drop out of school at the beginning, and it was me who should apologize."
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's because I didn't know what to do back then and let down your love, Shao Qiao."
As he said that, he picked up a bottle of whisky by the table, poured it into a glass with ice cubes at the round bottom, and handed it to Qiao Yang with both hands raised.
Qiao Yang didn't answer.
He saw Mo Yu's hands shaking.
And at the moment when the wine was poured out, he also saw a little bit of turbidity, which gave the amber-colored high-end whisky a disgusting sense of disobedience.
Joe was thirteen years old when he opened the bar.
In order to save the rent, the two brothers moved from the cramped rental house to the bar upstairs.
In the dark alley, there are often terrifying, noisy fights, screams and cries, piercing the tranquility of the night.
Violence and desire make ordinary people stay away from the places where there are only men with vigor and vitality, and women who are enchanting and soft.
Qiao Yang spent his teenage years in such an environment.
Qiao Sheng was bartending outside and playing with all kinds of guests. He just sat behind the counter doing his homework and playing the piano.
When he was bored during the day, Qiao Sheng would teach him about the types of wine and how to mix it.
But Qiao Sheng didn't allow him to drink it. He could only know the type of wine from the color, smell, and color changes during bartending.
Over time, he can keenly judge what was added by sight and smell.
Qiao Yang looked around the expressions of Liang Wei and the others, and then looked at Mo Yu, whose body was trembling slightly, and guessed something.
He looked at Mo Yu lightly and asked softly, "Do you hate me?"
Mo Yu suddenly looked up at him.
When Qiao Yang chased him aggressively in his youth, he was very frightened.
But after going through social waste, thinking about it, it's nothing at all.
The anger and fear after being promoted to the draft but being replaced by a player with a background.
The fear and helplessness when he wanted to sing in a bar to make money, but was threatened by Liang Wei.
It is difficult for an ordinary person to live a quiet life, let alone to realize his dreams.
Mo Yu lowered his head again, and even his voice trembled: "No, why... how can I hate you?"
Qiao Yang asked him again, "What work are you doing now?"
Mo Yu: "I, I'm still in my senior year. Usually I occasionally sing at night shows?"
"singer?"
Qiao Yang became interested, sat upright and asked him, "Do you study music?"
Mo Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just like to sing."
Liang Wei's eyes swayed back and forth between the two of them, and urged: "Young Master Qiao, don't patronize the old-fashioned, little lover you haven't seen for many years to toast, you have a good time, drink it."
Qiao Yang leaned on the booth and looked at Mo Yu, indicating that he could bring the wine.
Mo Yu was restless, and the hand holding the wine glass shook slightly.
The man in front of him seemed to be different from the one he remembered.
His voice was soft and his eyes were beautiful, not scary at all.
Thinking about it carefully, Qiao Yang looked fierce when he was in school, but he did nothing to him, and the things he gave him were very precious.
The hand holding the wine glass hesitated, he knew what was inside.
When Liang Wei threatened him, he even had a trace of delusion in his heart, thinking that if Qiao Yang still had some old feelings for him, after tonight, Qiao Yang would help him and not let Liang Wei and the others bully him again.
He looked up again to meet Qiao Yang's smiling eyes, which were curved, bright, and very warm.
His heart jumped, the hand of the wine glass in his hand tilted, and all the whisky with ice cubes spilled out.
Liang Wen scolded him: "Why are you so stupid, it's useless!"
Mo Yu quickly bowed his head and apologized: "...I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Qiao Yang smiled comfortably, reached out and patted Mo Yu's thin shoulder, comforting softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
