With a hangover and insomnia, Li Sui woke up early and felt like his head was going to explode. Lu Shang was not much better, his face was pale.
Aunt Lu brought breakfast to the table, and noticed that the two seemed to be very quiet today, without a word of communication, and occasionally touched with her fingertips when adding dishes, and avoided them like lightning.
She didn't know what was wrong with this subtle embarrassment. She only guessed that it was a quarrel or something. It was inevitable that couples would stumble and stumble. Besides, the two of them had always been in a good relationship. She didn't worry about it. exited.
The temperature is getting colder day by day, the last snow has not melted, and this one has a tendency to be covered again.
He was out of status at work and made several mistakes. When Li Sui finished all the work and returned to Lu's house, it was already dark. There was no one at home, the fireplace in the living room was still burning, making a crackling sound, the food on the table was left, and it was still steaming, and there was no trace of chopsticks being touched.
I hadn't returned home at this point, and I didn't know what Lu Shang was doing. They seldom separated. Li Sui felt uncomfortable, like he had lost some important personal belongings. Wanting to call Lu Shang, Li Sui took out his mobile phone and rubbed it for a while, thinking of the possible reaction, but he could only take it back in frustration and called Uncle Yuan instead.
"He went to Hainan on a business trip," Uncle Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, "He didn't take you there?"
Not only did he not take him there, he didn't even say hello, obviously he didn't want to see him.
"I see… "
After hanging up the phone, he stood in the empty living room and suddenly felt that his heart was empty.
It was already night, and the lights were still on in the high-level conference room at Jinsha Coast. At the conference table, several responsible persons were obviously highly nervous but pretended to be calm.
No one would have imagined that it was just a not-so-serious engineering accident that Lushang was recruited, and the accountant and project manager were called in overnight for questioning.
This kind of project involving the interests of all parties, if it is said to be completely clean, I am afraid that I will not be able to find one even if I searched the whole country, and Dongyan is no exception. The important thing is how to achieve a balance between cost and project quality. The final effect is decent, all parties have money to make, everyone is happy, and the top management is generally not too harsh, just turn a blind eye and pass.
Lu Shang may not be unaware of these things, but he can't help but say that he will check the accounts. Everyone in charge knew that Lu Shang was going to use them for a knife, not to mention finding out all of them, and at least one or two typical killing chickens to warn monkeys.
In the cold winter and twelfth lunar day, the people in charge were so nervous in the huge conference room that their foreheads were sweating, for fear that this unfortunate quota would fall on their heads.
Liu Xingming saw that this was not the way to go, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, this account can't be checked for a while now, and you can't bear it if you rush over as soon as you get off the plane, or take a rest today, and we'll do it tomorrow. Calculate?"
"Why?" Lu Shang turned his head to look at him, and said coldly, "The injured worker is still lying in the hospital for rescue, but the company doesn't even know where the problem is. Rest? I think, should we simply Go have a meal and get a massage and check again?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xingming couldn't hold back his face.
"Xiaoye, you go to order supper." Lu Shang ordered.
"Yes."
Lu Shang continued to say to others: "Call your family and say, if the problem is not found out today, no one will want to go back."
For a long time, Lushang's management model has always been humanized. He rarely loses his temper, and he hardly blames anyone outright. Although his personality is cold and difficult to approach, he is very friendly to employees. The illusion, as if he is a person who has no temper and is easy to talk about. It was not until today that they suddenly remembered that this man alone carried the burden of Dongyan ten years ago. People with such leadership can never be easy to talk about. The reason why they don't care about most of the time is that he is too lazy Let's just say it, once it's true, anyone can only stand aside.
It was only when the accounts found the piece of material that they gradually began to look at their eyes. It was late at night, and the people in the room went from being nervous at the beginning to accepting their fate later, and at the end, only distress and fatigue remained. As soon as the project accountant opened his mouth, the entire conference room woke up. Lu Shang flipped through the ledger, sneered inexplicably, and threw it to Liu Xingming.
"Play this kind of trickery."
Liu Xingming took a look at the ledger, and his face was also pale: "I will contact the material supplier immediately."
"You don't need to contact me, just make the final payment and let them get out of here."
After finishing speaking, Lu Shang glanced at the heads of the various branches under his eyes: "I don't know which of you took the rebate, I don't care about the money, but the things must be replaced, and the project is completed, and you all have to sign and be responsible. , no one can escape responsibility when something goes wrong. What I am doing is entertainment facilities, not something to kill people. If I can't even guarantee the most basic safety, what kind of amusement park will I build, and I will just build a cemetery. "
A few people broke down in cold sweat after speaking, and the conference room was terribly silent. At this moment, Lu Shang's mobile phone vibrated suddenly, interrupting his words.
He frowned slightly, took a look at it, and paused.
"Mr. Lu, are we changing local suppliers?" Someone asked below.
Lu Shang calmly turned his phone off: "Send an announcement and open the tender."
Li Sui waited until midnight, but there was no reply from the other end of the phone. He felt a sense of indescribable feeling in his heart, a little anxious and a little frightened, like a child who had done something wrong and wanted to apologize, but could not get a response. .
Li Sui didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't dare to chase after him to make people bored. In the next few days, he picked Lu Shang's schedule, and occasionally sent him some text messages, the content was all innocuous daily life, as well as business affairs. name harassment. It's a pity that what was sent out was like a rock sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.
Lu Shang seemed to be determined to let him dry, but Li Sui tried and failed repeatedly, and gradually felt aggrieved.
One night, Sima Jingrong called him and asked him to go to Sima's house for dinner during Chinese New Year. It doesn't matter if Li Sui eats or not. After finally catching an idler who can talk, Li Sui stopped him and explained the incident evasively to ask for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, after Sima Jingrong heard it, he laughed wildly at the other end: "It's right that he is angry, you think, if he is not angry at all, he doesn't mind at all, and continues to sleep with you like a good buddy, Will you be happy?"
With a word to wake up the dreamer, Li Sui suddenly stood up.
"His evasion shows that he is not open-hearted. If he really treats you as a child he just adopts, would he allow you to do such a thing? With his skill, you would have been thrown into a river long ago. Feed the fish."
Li Sui's breathing became rapid, and he said eagerly, "You, you mean..."
"Apologize, brother!" Sima Jingrong hated that iron was not steel.
Li Sui was discouraged for a while: "I sent him a message, but he didn't reply."
"Then go in person, send flowers, gifts, money... You can give him whatever he likes, make him happy, make him happy, there is nothing in this world that money can't solve... "
Li Sui thought it made sense at first, but after seeing that the more he talked, the less he slipped, he interrupted quickly and turned to look for Aunt Lu.
"What do you like?" Aunt Lu was slicing tea tree mushrooms and was surprised when she heard the words.
Li Sui nodded and said awkwardly, "Well, you have taken care of him for more than ten years. Has he shown any interest in anything?"
"This..." Aunt Lu fell into deep thought, "Hey, I remembered, he likes fishing a lot. When he was in better health a few years ago, he often went to Qingming Lake to fish."
The first time Li Sui heard it, he couldn't help but be surprised. Lu Shang hardly mentioned his past, and rarely showed interest in anything. Hobby.
Li Sui smiled: "I see, thank you Aunt Lu."
Re-tendering is not an easy task. The project is halfway through, the time cost is high, and it is impossible to wait a day. When ordinary people encounter these troubles, they will definitely give in, but Lu Shang didn't know why he was so stubborn about this matter, he just tossed them for two weeks, and finally... made himself sick.
Affected by the monsoon, the island was cold and hot for a while, and Lushang was already worried about his resistance. He ran on the construction site for several days in a row. People didn't rest well. They caught a bad cold and their hearts began to protest.
It was no different here than in the Lu family. The hospital had never seen such a complicated case as him, so he did not dare to consult him casually, and only prescribed some pain-relieving needles and anti-inflammatory drugs.
He has taken medicine as his meal since he was a child, and ordinary medicine has no effect on him at all. He still has a fever at night, but gets better at dawn. I was tired during the day and couldn't sleep well at night. The torture made him lose weight, and his face, which was not very bloody, looked even paler.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and most of the construction sites are migrant workers. They count the days and look forward to going home for the Chinese New Year. This is the time of year when people are most likely to become distracted. Lu Shang knew that this matter should be resolved quickly and should not be delayed for a long time. He could only forcibly cheer up, convene all parties, and finalize a supplier who could provide the spot in the shortest time. Although the price is a little high, the quality of the items is excellent, and the material delivery speed just catches up with the construction period.
A slap is a sweet treat. Lu Shang knows this better than anyone else. Before the holiday, Liu Xingming specially asked Liu Xingming to send generous New Year supplies to employees, and the workers on the construction site directly sent red envelopes. Even if you send supplies, you can’t take them with you, so cash is much more convenient.
Considering this, there was no one else except Lu Shang. After dealing with these major and small matters, he was so tired that he almost had a heart attack. He didn't even have the energy to attend the year-end thank-you meeting, and slept with his head covered in the hotel. Uncle Yuan was not at ease, so he came to pick him up in person.
"Are you going back tomorrow?"
Lu Shang lay on the sofa, pressed his temples, and said "um".
Uncle Yuan swallowed and observed his reaction as he spoke: "The child said several times that he wanted to come over, but I stopped him."
Lu Shang still had no expression, but just said "Oh" casually.
Before Uncle Yuan left, Lu Shang said to him, "Let Liu Xingming come over tomorrow, I have something to tell him."
The weather was bad, cold and dry, and the wind blew on his face like a knife, and Li Sui couldn't help thinking as he walked among the rolled leaves. Fortunately, Lu Shang went to Hainan. Otherwise, if he was here in this weather, It must be cold hands and feet.
He is very happy today. In the past two weeks, he has traveled to the big and small fishing tackle stores in and out of the city, and finally bought a good fishing rod. The carbon material is made of nano-boron fibers. The position of the handle is a layer of carefully carved jade. , The texture is clear, the tentacles are warm, it will not be hot in summer, and it will not be cold in winter. The most important point, the store told him that the inside of the handle could be engraved. Li Sui thought about it, and after a little selfishness, he asked him to engrave two letters, "LS".
Both Lu Shang and him.
The fishing tackle store was in the suburbs, and there was still a long way to go. Li Sui carefully put the box into the trunk. When the door was closed, his body instinctively noticed something strange.
He was followed.
The enemy was in the dark, he was in the morning, Li Sui calmly turned off the lights, got close to the car body, and backhandedly took the spare safety hammer from the car window.
There were no street lights in this area. As soon as the car lights went out, the whole road fell into darkness. As soon as Li Sui got the things in his hand, he heard a burst of disdainful laughter from the woods not far away.
"Really alert, you were discovered so quickly."
Li Sui was startled, and immediately turned around. He saw a figure walking out from behind the tree, wearing a hoodie and unable to see his face. However, there is no need to see it clearly, Li Sui is too familiar with this voice.
"It's you." He instinctively became wary of the voice.
Li Yan snapped his fingers, and then Li Sui could see clearly that there was a heavy motorcycle on the slope in the distance.
"Don't be nervous," Li Yan smiled, "I didn't come to trouble you."
Li Sui stared at him for a while, but did not answer. Lu Shang had taught him to speak less before he understood the opponent's intentions, so as not to expose his weaknesses.
"You're getting bigger and bigger, and you're getting more and more boring," Li Yan sighed. "You don't have to be tense all the time, and I can't do anything to you right now. It's considered that you've followed the right person temporarily."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"I don't want to say anything, I have nothing to do, I happened to meet you, and I came to share with you my job-hopping experience as a former boss," Li Yan said, "Do you know why I said you were only with the right person temporarily?"
Seeing that Li Sui did not speak, Li Yan smiled and said, "Because he is not a good person either, you will know this sooner or later."
Li Sui gave him a cold look and turned to leave.
"You don't want to know, why did Lu Shang take you in?" Li Yan said behind him.
