Probably because the dream last night was too realistic, when Chu Yan woke up the next morning, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He wiped his face in embarrassment, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower with cold water.
He thought that the evil thoughts towards Zhu Qingyue were just a momentary impulse, and as long as he stayed away from Qingyue, time would dilute all this.
But this time he was dead wrong.
In the past three years, not only did he not forget Zhu Qingyue, but he thought about it day and night, and could not find peace every night.
He was always tormented by such dreams. Those fragments of the past reappeared repeatedly in the dream, the child who just went to Hangzhou with him because he was afraid of the cold and slept in his arms, Xiao Qingyue who secretly shed tears in the backstage of the arena, and under his pressure stood up to the spotlight The rookie captain under him, and the gentle and jade-like boy who grew up... Each of these images is so clear that it cannot be ignored.
He was not impulsive, but developed a strong love for Zhu Qingyue during the day and night together - he loved Zhu Qingyue, although he never wanted to admit it, but in fact, Zhu Qingyue had already broken into his heart and touched him. It broke the softest string in his heart, so that he could never forget it.
Chu Yan stood under the nozzle with his eyes closed, and the cold water pouring down his head finally extinguished the strong physiological reaction in the morning.
Thinking of the absurd scenes of him pressing Zhu Qingyue to kiss in the dream, Chu Yan clenched his fist hard and slammed it hard against the bathroom wall. The severe pain from his hand finally calmed him down, and Chu Yan turned off the He showered, went out in a bathrobe with a blank face, dried his hair in front of the mirror, changed into a suit, tidied himself meticulously, turned around and went out with the car keys.
After driving to the headquarters of Qingyang Electronic Technology Company, he parked the car in the underground garage and took the elevator to the office area on the 10th floor.
In the corridor, many colleagues greeted him respectfully when they saw him: "Good morning, Mr. Chu."
Chu Yan nodded towards them, still maintaining an indifferent expression.
Colleagues passing by sensed that he was in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to provoke him, so they all avoided him wisely.
Chu Yan walked all the way to the office without looking sideways, sat down on his seat, dialed an inside line to call the two subordinates over, and said calmly: "The cooperation with Mo Jue is basically finalized, and I have sent the information of all Mo Jue members." In the office group, Xiao Lin, you can discuss with Manager Meng from the marketing department today to see which players are more suitable for endorsement, and write a detailed supplementary agreement. Xiao Zhang, you can contact the advertising company you have worked with before and introduce them Take a look at the company's products, and then ask them to come up with an advertising plan as soon as possible."
The two responded in unison: "I know Mr. Chu."
Chu Yan waved his hand: "Go."
The two immediately exited his office, and thoughtfully helped him close the door.
Chu Yan rubbed his painful temples, got up and walked to the French windows.
Looking at the bustling scene of high-rise buildings outside the window, he suddenly felt unspeakably sad.
In fact, before the establishment of the Qingmu team, he was a student of the Department of Electronic Engineering of a prestigious school. He also won an award in a domestic design competition with Zhu Ran. After retiring, he went back to school and successfully obtained a degree in electronic engineering. With his qualifications, it is not difficult to find a better company, but he came to Qingyang Electronic Technology Company to work in the R&D department. One of the reasons is that this company belongs to Zhu's family, and Zhu Ran could not stand firmly in the company at a young age. Heel, he came to help a friend; on the other hand, after Zhu Qingyue's father passed away, he left all his property to his only son, which means that Zhu Qingyue has become the second largest shareholder of this company since he was eighteen years old.
When Chu Yan came to this company, besides helping his friend Zhu Ran, more importantly, he couldn't let go of that little apprentice...
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Chu Yan's thoughts, Chu Yan turned around and said, "Come in."
The one who came in was Zhu Ran, Chu Yan's best friend who grew up with him, and also the current CEO of this company.
When Zhu Ran first took over as CEO, because he was too young, many people did not accept him. After Chu Yan came over, he really helped him a lot. Chu Yan has a unique vision. Several products he developed are selling well and are often sold out. The company’s market value has almost doubled. After a while, the two of them have established a firm foothold here together, and the relationship is naturally better than when they were young.
In front of his good buddy Chu Yan, Zhu Ran naturally did not put on any airs of the boss, and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are back, I will come and have a look. This time I am going to Beijing, and the project cooperation with Dubu Jianghu is still very good." Is it going well?"
Chu Yan said: "Very well. The technical difficulties have been successfully overcome. After the official acceptance, the product will be officially launched next month."
Zhu Ran then asked: "What about the advertisement endorsement? Or did you choose the local Dragons Club?"
"Well, I went to talk to them yesterday." Chu Yan pointed to the contract on the table, "The cooperation intention has been reached, and the details of the contract are being sorted out."
Zhu Ran praised: "Your efficiency is high."
Facing the trusting gaze of his friend, Chu Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your nephew also went to the Dragons Club, did you know?"
Zhu Ran was stunned, and realized that he was talking about Zhu Qingyue, so he smiled: "Qingyue mentioned this to me, I thought the company would help him after he retired, but Qingyue said he didn't understand electronic products , can't help much. Since he wants to continue playing, let him go. He has grown up and I don't want to interfere too much."
"You don't want to interfere too much?" Chu Yan paused and asked, "Then you won't interfere if he's in a relationship?"
"Falling in love? Qingyue of our family is shy, so he probably never had a girlfriend?" Zhu Ran thought for a while, then changed his mind, "However, he's grown up, so it's normal for him to want to fall in love. As long as it's a girl Qingyue likes I will not object, my friend."
"What if it's a boyfriend?"
"… ah?"
Chu Yan joked: "If Qingyue was abducted by a man, what would you do?"
Zhu Ran frowned: "Impossible, Qingyue's sexual orientation is normal, why would he be with a man? Ayan, it's better not to joke about this kind of thing."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I know, sorry."
Zhu Ran stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "You are not too young, don't be busy working all day, what kind of girl do you like, let me introduce you?"
Chu Yan smiled slightly: "No need."
After sending Zhu away, Chu Yan also felt amused in his heart - fell in love with a good buddy's nephew, how could such a bloody thing than a TV series happen to him? Anyway, he, Chu Yan, was a pampered person who had never experienced any hardships since he was a child, but he fell into a big stumble with his little apprentice and couldn't get up for three whole years. It's a joke to tell it.
…
In the afternoon, Xiao Lin knocked on the door and came in, and handed Chu Yan a supplementary agreement, which she drew up after discussing with the marketing manager. , Liu Xiang and Liu Hong sisters endorsed the brand new projection equipment, Zhu Qingyue endorsed the LCD control panel, and the remaining four newcomers filmed print ads for keyboards and mice.
The mechanical keyboard and mouse launched this time are not the main products, so it doesn't matter if a few newcomers show their faces. But the other several items require players with a certain reputation, and the marketing department's choice is also very reasonable.
Chu Yan had no objection, nodded and said, "That's it, thank you for your hard work."
He faxed the contract to Longyin Club for Qin Mo and Xiao Han to review. Qin Mo also felt that there was no problem, and the cooperation was finalized in this way.
The advertising company quickly came up with several good proposals, and the two sides happily agreed on the shooting time.
…
Three days later, all Mo Jue members arrived at the headquarters of Qingyang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. by car. Meng Ke, the marketing manager, received them personally and took everyone to the studio. The planning of the photographer and the advertising company asked everyone to change into the clothes they had prepared in advance, and then explained to them the precautions for shooting.
Today we are going to shoot a print advertisement, and we only need to pose some movements. The team members actually have a headache about shooting advertisements. After all, everyone is not a professional model. When taking pictures, the expressions and movements always show a little stiffness. Fortunately, the photography The teacher is very good at adjusting the atmosphere. The Han Mo duo, Liu Xiang and Liu Hong sisters, and the four newcomer groups all finished filming smoothly, and finally it was Zhu Qingyue's turn.
Zhu Qingyue walked under the light alone, with a shy smile on his face: "Well, what should I do?"
The photographer's eyes lit up, Mo Jue's overall appearance was very good, the appearance of the twin stars just now was no less than that of a star, unexpectedly, the temperament of this team member was also very unique.
The girl in charge of advertising planning next to me suggested: "Hold the LCD control panel in your hand, take a few sets of actions first."
Zhu Qingyue nodded, took the props from the staff, and asked: "This is not connected to the power supply, can't it be turned on?"
The beauty smiled and said, "It will be dealt with later!"
Zhu Qingyue's face flushed slightly, he stopped talking, and took the tablet seriously to do the movements.
This is what Chu Yan saw when he came to the studio—a young man in light gray trousers and a beige low-neck cashmere sweater, sitting there holding an LCD tablet, smiling slightly at the camera, his face illuminated by the lights. A soft halo was cast, like a prince walking out of a cartoon.
Chu Yan stopped involuntarily, his eyes seemed to be glued to him, and he couldn't move away.
The photographer praised Zhu Qingyue for his good looks while pressing the shutter, and reminded him to change his movements. Zhu Qingyue also cooperated with the photographer's requirements to pose various movements.
The planning girl next to me said with satisfaction: "The singles are almost done, let Aning go over and cooperate, and then take a group of doubles."
A curly-haired beauty with a hot figure and a tight miniskirt stepped forward generously. She is a model invited by the company to cooperate with the shooting of print advertisements. The models cooperate to take a group photo of two people.
Zhu Qingyue knew that this was just an advertisement, so he didn't reject it. It's just that this model sister is a bit bold, and she put her arms on his shoulders when she came over, naturally posing as an intimate couple. Zhu Qingyue has never been in such close contact with a girl before, and smelled her body With the faint smell of perfume, Zhu Qingyue's face flushed suddenly, looking a little at a loss.
The planning girl said: "Hey, don't be shy! Come closer, you temporarily treat her as your girlfriend, wrap your arms around her waist, and behave naturally!"
The model leaned into his ear with a smile and said, "Handsome guy, this is just a commercial, I won't eat you, what are you hiding?"
Zhu Qingyue's face became even more embarrassed, and he almost threw the touch screen version away with trembling hands.
He was originally shy and had never been in a relationship before, so asking him to act as a couple is really embarrassing for him...
Qin Mo was about to talk to the planning girl, when he heard a deep voice behind him: "You guys insist on filming such boring scenes? They are e-sports players, not entertainment stars."
The voice was so calm that there seemed to be no waves, but the girl in charge of planning could hear some anger inexplicably.
The planning girl felt a shudder down her spine, she turned her head and said awkwardly: "Chu, Mr. Chu."
Why did this great god suddenly appear on the shooting scene
Chu Yan stepped forward and said with a cold face: "Do you have any misunderstandings about e-sports? We sell high-tech products, not chocolate and milk tea. We don't need couples to show affection to drive sales!"
His voice seemed to be deliberately lowered, with a strange hoarseness, and his face was also very ugly.
The girl immediately said wittily, "Yes, I'm sorry, let's change the plan immediately!"
Next to it, Meng Ke, the manager of the marketing department, also came over and said, "Mr. Chu, I only took two-dimensional photos today, and I took enough photos. I should be able to pick out some usable ones after repairing them. They gave a few plans for the video advertisement." , this series of products is the main product of the company after all, you know more about e-sports than I do, why don't you check it out yourself?"
Chu Yan nodded: "Okay, show me the plan."
The two walked to the side and turned on their laptops to discuss the plan softly. Zhu Qingyue stood under the light, his face flushed red. Fortunately, after Chu Yan stood up to save the siege, he didn't have to cooperate with the model to take couple photos anymore. Zhu Qing ran to the locker room to change his clothes as if he was running away, and planned to go back to the team with the players who had already changed their clothes.
As a result, when he came out of the dressing room, he accidentally saw Chu Yan leaning against the window smoking a cigarette. He frowned and seemed very upset. The man's handsome face became somewhat blurred amidst the smoke, and Zhu Qing became more and more dazed. Startled, he took a step forward and said softly, "Master, don't smoke so much, it's not good for your health."
Chu Yan exhaled a puff of smoke ring, extinguished the cigarette butt, looked back at Zhu Qingyue, and said indifferently: "You are not my wife, you care so much about me?"
"..." Kindness was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, and Zhu Qingyue was also very angry in his heart. He frowned and said, "Okay, I don't care about you. You can smoke as much as you like." Zhu Qingyue took a few steps forward, then turned back and said , "Master, thank you for training me in the past few years. I have always been grateful... Since you hate me as an apprentice so much, then... let's have nothing to do with each other."
Zhu Qingyue has a gentle personality since he was a child and rarely loses his temper, but Chu Yan stepped on his kindness again and again. He also has self-esteem, and he doesn't want to continue pestering each other so shamelessly. Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head sadly, and said softly, "I'm leaving, and I won't bother you in the future."
Seeing the thin figure turn around and leave, Chu Yan felt ashamed, but he was very thankful—fortunately, he held back just now and didn't rush to hug him.
The eyes became more and more blurred, and finally completely darkened.
A loud "bang" came from behind, and Zhu Qingyue was startled. Looking back, he saw Chu Yan lying on the ground straight, his eyes closed, as if he had passed out.
Zhu Qingyue: "..."
No way! I wasn't dizzy by you, why did you get dizzy first
Zhu Qing stepped forward quickly and touched his forehead lightly, only to realize that the man's body temperature was frighteningly hot!
"Master? How are you, Master? Did you hear me?" Zhu Qingyue shook him gently, but Chu Yan didn't respond at all. Zhu Qingyue was a little panicked, and no one could lift him, so he had to call Zhu Ran: "Hey, uncle, are you in the company? I'm at the locker room on the third floor... I'm fine, don't worry, I'm really fine... It was Chu Yan, he fainted..."
After a while, Zhu Ran hurried over, looking at Chu Yan lying on the ground with closed eyes, Zhu Ran stretched out his hand to probe his forehead, and suddenly swears: "Damn, let me just say, this guy He's been out of his mind all day long, doesn't he even know he's sick? Shame on him!"
Zhu Qingyue looked embarrassed: "Uncle, do you want to send him to the hospital?"
Zhu Ran thought for a while and said, "He is in good health, but if he has a fever, it shouldn't be a big problem. Send him back to take some medicine first, and then send him to the hospital after seeing the situation." He carried Chu Yan on his back, and said as he walked: " Qingyue, do you have something to do this afternoon? I have an important meeting this afternoon, can you watch him first?"
Zhu Qingyue hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
Although he was angry with him just now, and said cruel words of "there is nothing to do with each other in the future", seeing Chu Yan's appearance, Zhu Qingyue still couldn't bear to leave him behind.
Zhu Qingyue sent a text message to Qin Mo asking for an afternoon off, then put the phone back in his pocket, followed quickly, and sent Chu Yan home with his uncle.
…
Chu Yan lived not far away, and it took ten minutes to drive there. Zhu Ran carried him to the door, and asked Zhu Qingyue to find the key from his pocket and open the door.
This is a single apartment with simple decoration. Zhu Ran has obviously been here before. He carried Chu Yan to the bedroom familiarly, took off his leather shoes and asked him to lie down. Then he took out the antipyretics he bought at the gate of the community, He ate it, and still listened to his heart rate and felt for his pulse.
Zhu Qingyue saw that he looked like a doctor, so he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, do you still know medicine?"
Zhu Ran said: "My girlfriend is a doctor, and I learned it from her. This guy must have a cold and a fever. As long as his body temperature drops and his brain doesn't burn out, it's fine. You can apply cold water to him later." Zhu Ran looked Looking at his watch, it was already 12:30 noon, so he hurriedly said: "Qingyue, I have to go, there is a meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and I won't be able to make it any later. You take care of your master first, and observe the thermometer at any time. If the situation If there is a change, you can send him to the hospital, there is a hospital opposite the community."
Zhu Qingyue nodded: "Well, uncle, go get busy."
Zhu Ran hurriedly turned around and left, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Qingyue clamped the thermometer under Chu Yan's armpit, turned around and went to the bathroom to get a basin of cold water, wet a towel and put it on his forehead to cool him down.
After finishing all this work, Zhu Qingyue sat down by the bed, looked around, and found that the room was extremely simple, there was no wallpaper on the walls, there were only beds, wardrobes and two bedside tables in the room, and the curtains were used It is a gray tone, feeling a little deserted. Zhu Qingyue's eyes stopped suddenly - because he unexpectedly found a photo frame on the bedside table by the window, which actually contained... Is it his own photo
Zhu Qingyue got up and walked over. He picked it up and saw that it was indeed a photo he took at the gate of the team a few years ago.
The teenager in the photo has just turned eighteen. Compared with now, he is still a little young, but he is not as childish as he was when he was a child. He smiles shyly at the camera. At that time, he was already the captain of the Qingmu team. Chu Yan celebrated a grand coming-of-age birthday for him, and took a photo of him at the team gate as a souvenir.
A photo taken on my eighteenth birthday... why did Master put it on the bedside table
