Dongfang Apartment is not far from the financial district. There are dozens of high-end apartments in a row. The apartment buildings are square and square. They are rented and not sold. They are rented locally by expatriates from major multinational companies. There are many Japanese, Europeans and Americans pushing babies in the community. The car is like a miniature United Nations.
Guan Yue's home is on the top floor of Dongfang Apartment, a large flat floor of more than 200 square meters, decorated in an Icelandic frigid style, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall buildings of the financial center can be seen faintly, and the upper half is shrouded in clouds and mist.
The apartment building goes directly from the garage to the top floor. Guan Yue presses his fingerprints, and the elevator enters the house. As soon as the elevator door opens, the lobby is opened. Push the door and enter. Mondrian's works are hung in the house, and Yayoi Kusama's metal pumpkins are placed on the cabinet. Wearing a gray-black wool blanket, the coffee table is square and square, and all the furnishings are full of geometric logic, cold and even a little lonely.
The dinner prepared by the chef was placed on the dining table, Guan Yue pressed the remote control on the wall, and Beethoven's tunes rang softly in the living room. Tianhe changed into his slippers, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, Guan Yue took off his earphones. Tianhe was about to grab him, but Guan Yue raised his hand and looked down at him, just like he used to tease Tianhe with things. Tianhe has lost his temper.
Tianhe said: "Recently, I often suffer from insomnia and tinnitus. This is a sound program for complementary therapy."
Guan Yue put the earphones back on the table and turned to change clothes.
Pro: "You're always wearing earphones. He's already suspicious. This is a tentative move."
Tianhe: "I don't care what he thinks."
Pro: "Do you know the Wi-Fi password at his house?"
Tianhe: "What do you want to do again?"
Pro: "Of course it's hacking into his home device system."
It's been a year since Tianhe broke up, how could he know? At this time Guan Yue came back, Tianhe took off his earphones and put them on the dining table.
Guan Yue loosened his tie, took off his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt twice, took off his watch, and sat down at the table with Tianhe. The butler came out from another small door to say hello, and lit the candles on the dining table. Guan Yue nodded indifferently, and the butler and the chef went home from get off work smoothly.
The Chief Financial Officer sent the video. Guan Yue held a bowl of soup in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, and opened the replay of Tianhe's presentation at the venue this afternoon.
Tianhe only ate a little and put down his chopsticks. Guan Yue knew that he hadn't eaten for a long time and couldn't eat much, so he didn't force him. He got up and put on gloves, took out a cheese pie from the oven, cut it open, put a fork on it, and put it in the oven. In front of Tianhe.
Guan Yue doesn't like cheese, but Tianhe likes it very much, knowing that this pie is naturally baked just for himself.
Guan Yue watched the video to the end, and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was nine twenty-five.
"Let's get down to business, what do you mean today?" Tianhe said.
Guan Yue stared at Tianhe and remained silent.
Always silent, always saying nothing, but Tianhe already knew what he wanted to say, this is the "obviousness" between them. The light on the dining table shone between the two of them, illuminating the outline of Guan Yue's facial features especially deeply.
Guan Yue: "Taking a bath?"
Tianhe was very uncomfortable, "I just want to have a meal, take a shower, and sleep now." He said it himself, but he didn't want to take a shower and sleep here. It would be too embarrassing to spend the night at his ex-boyfriend's house.
"There is no one else." Guan Yue seemed to see what Tianhe was thinking, "I have been single for a long time, and there will be no incumbent to tear your face off."
Tianhe: "Speak up if you have something to say, and I'll give you five minutes." As he spoke, he turned the screen of the phone over, and Pu Luo turned on the timer on the phone to display the time.
Guan Yue looked at Tianhe, each other's eyebrows and hair cast a faint light under the dining table light.
"Something has to be said, even though you don't like to hear it. Forget it, let's make a long story short." Guan Yue was not displeased at all, and said in a deep voice, "As an investor, I admit that your company's future may be successful in self-help. Wen Tianyue made a major mistake in his decision-making, and at the same time made the only remedy for it, transferring all the power of the company to you. At this time, you need strong financial support to tide over the current crisis , Qingsong Capital can solve your urgent needs."
Tianhe said, "It turns out that you can also say this kind of cliché."
"Similarly, as a partner, I am the person who understands you best." Guan Yue replied, "In front of capital, it is unwise to act rashly. In today's presentation at the summit, luck accounted for the majority, and your software is impossible. So accurate, otherwise you don’t need financing at all, go to the stock market and do a few waves of T+0, and you will have liquidity.”
"According to my speculation," Guan Yue said casually, "After the improved Epeus analysis system, the probability can fluctuate slightly at 45%, which is why you dare to put all your eggs in one basket today."
Tianhe had to admit that the estimate of 45% was quite close, and Guan Yue's professional level was quite good.
Guan Yue said: "You have already admitted in your heart that Qingsong is your best choice at present. We have very close cooperation with fund companies, stock companies and even securities companies. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are quite a few companies in the country that are ours. Strategic Partners… "
Change the day and listen quietly this time.
"...don't look for me now, when your fifth, sixth, or even tenth generation software comes out, you will still come to me, because no matter which company uses your software, the written evaluation will be sent to Qingsong. You should know that whether it is funds, futures, or other trading markets, institutions do not make decisions based on brains."
Tianhe said: "By the way, are you also this strong when negotiating?"
Guan Yue: "When the interests and prospects are very clear, I don't understand the need to go around. Yes, and Qingsong's financing, I guarantee that this is a figure that will satisfy you, far beyond What you need now."
Tianhe took out the business cards he received after today's meeting from his pocket, spread them out on the table one by one, and spread out ten of them. He looked up at Guan Yue, which meant that I still had a choice.
Guan Yue: "I thought I made my words very clear."
Tianhe said, "It's not that clear."
Guan Yue stretched out his finger and clicked on one of them.
"A commercial bribery dispute." Guan Yue said, and then clicked on another one. "The capital chain has been broken. You will hear the news of their bankruptcy in three months."
"Affected by the P2P project, it is very difficult to operate funds. Even if you sign the contract, you can't get the money." Guan Yue ordered the third and fourth companies, and Tianhe said with a smile: "Mr. Guan, It’s not good to spread rumors behind your back.”
In the end, Guan Yue said, "Guess if your software predicts wrong after the Nasdaq index comes out tonight, will they still meet with you?"
Tianhe was about to take the phone, but Guan Yue pressed one hand on the back of Tianhe's hand. The temperature of his skin suddenly made Tianhe's heart beat faster. Hold Tianhe's hand and prevent him from seeing the prediction result.
"Before the summit, I have already decided to vote for you," Guan Yue said in a deep voice, "no matter how effective your software is. After the summit, I still decide to vote for you, before you verify the result. None of us know now Nasdaq, I thought that was sincere enough."
Tianhe withdrew his hand and let go of the phone, Guan Yue also let go.
The two sides were silent for one second, two seconds, twenty seconds.
The minute hand of the clock moved toward nine fifty.
Tianhe raised his eyebrows: "What else do you want to say? I'll leave without me."
During the long silence, Guan Yue finally said: "I apologize for what I said that afternoon, please forgive my unscrupulous words."
"I express my sincere apologies for this." Tianhe was waiting for this sentence, so he said mockingly: "Ah, I'm sorry. Mr. Guan even apologized so politely and restrained, like the Dutch crown prince talking about the disaster victims in Africa. Guilt, there are so many cows and so much meat in the Netherlands, and so many people are starving in Africa, it’s the same planet, I’m sorry for that.”
Tianhe looked over Guan Yue's shoulder and saw behind him, on the oven on the side of the kitchen, the time numbers flashed a few times, and a four-digit number jumped out—the Nasdaq index, which was only two minutes away from Pro's prediction. point.
In other words, in the second wave of verification, he also got the favor of Goddess of Luck.
Guan Yue said: "The chance is less than 50%, it is very difficult for you to step on it twice."
Tianhe said gently: "Thank you Mr. Guan for deciding to vote for me, and I'm glad you finally understand what I want, it's just an apology."
Guan Yue was a little surprised, Tianhe's sudden change of attitude made him not quite understand, he looked at Tianhe suspiciously, and after half a minute, he said: "Then, from today onwards, please give me your advice."
"I dare not take it." Tianhe said with a smile, "Can I see the forecast result now?"
Tianhe turned on his phone, clicked on the US Stocks app, and pushed it directly to Guan Yue without looking at it.
Guan Yue was silent, and five or six news feeds from twenty minutes ago were pushed onto the screen of the phone, all about today's summit.
"In fact, luck is so good." Tianhe flipped through the phone with a smile, and said, "I promised too early, and it seems a bit of a loss. But I will not go back on my word. Everyone understands this truth."
No matter how high the IQ is, Guan Yue still can't figure out why Tianhe can play this trick on himself. He didn't wear earphones, so it is impossible for someone to notify him of the latest US stock index. During dinner, Guan Yue was quite sure that Tianhe didn't watch it the whole time. cell phone. And, this is in your own home!
Guan Yue glanced back to confirm that the TV was not turned on.
When he looked at Tianhe again, Guan Yue's eyebrows and eyes were full of puzzlement. Tianhe seemed to have not changed in these years. It took so much effort to set up a trap, and sometimes it was just to ridicule him. Seeing his blank expression, Tianhe will be happy.
Suddenly, Guan Yue thought of a serious problem, and his voice trembled a little.
"You implanted a chip in yourself?!" Guan Yue's blood seemed to freeze, this is the only possibility! Otherwise, how can Tianhe suddenly know about the Nasdaq index
Tianhe didn't expect Guan Yue to guess in this way at all, he laughed so much that he lay down on the dining table and looked up at Guan Yue, it was so funny.
Guan Yue was short of breath, Tianhe turned his head, and said, "Do you want to confirm? See if there are any wounds and needle scars behind my ears? Or is the suspicion somewhere else?" Guan Yue immediately realized that he had been shot again. Having fallen into Tianhe's trap, he had no choice but to step on the ground, lean back the chair a little, stand up, and walk to the living room.
Tianhe said casually: "Give me the contract, I will take it back and seriously consider it."
Guan Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his hands in his trousers pockets, turned his head to look at Tianhe, with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Tianhe knew that he couldn't tease him anymore. After a year of separation, did Guan Yue have sex with anyone? Made a joke that shouldn't be made. Looking at it now, most of Guan Yue has never slept with anyone. If he does something he shouldn't do tonight, this guy will become his investor, and it may be even more difficult to get along with in the future.
He didn't intend to take a bath at Guan Yue's house, he just sat quietly on the sofa.
Guan Yue took out a stack of contracts and put them on the coffee table. Tianhe knew that he must have prepared all the contracts, so he held them in his hand and read them one by one. This is not an investment contract, but an "intent" on an extended guarantee for bankruptcy. The cumbersome contract terms gave Tianhe a bit of a headache, so he flipped through them one by one.
Guan Yue was also very patient, sitting aside and waiting.
"I thought you wouldn't read the contract so carefully." Guan Yue said.
Tianhe: "After the second brother's incident, I decided to take it seriously from now on."
Guan Yue replied: "Then I suggest you discuss it with your family's old lawyer, only he is the most responsible."
"Of course." Tianhe said, "But before that, I have to take a look to see if there is any value for him."
Guan Yue said, "Take your time, you still have a lot of time."
Guan Yue got up to leave, Tianhe took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the contract, and said, "Pu Luo, use your legal database to do a simple analysis for me."
Pro: "I need a little time to search and compare, and it will take about twenty minutes to complete."
Tianhe heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, so he lay on the sofa, took a contract, took pictures one by one, and put them on the coffee table after taking pictures.
Pro: "He just wanted to ask you if you would like to spend the night with him on the spur of the moment."
"Please concentrate on reading the contract." Tianhe said, "I'm already very tired today, and I don't have the energy to complain about your words."
Pro: "I have several processes running, and the control of the oven has not been turned off. Do you want to eat something?"
Tianhe ignored Puluo, and wanted to sleep when he was full, and said, "I'm really tired, hurry up, Puluo..."
Twenty minutes later, the sound of water stopped, Guan Yue came out to wipe his hair, took off the hair dryer, and when he was about to turn it on, he suddenly remembered and looked outside.
Sure enough, Tianhe was lying on the sofa, the contracts were scattered all over the floor, his mobile phone was dropped aside, and he fell asleep.
Guan Yue gently took off Tianhe's earphones, glanced at them, put them on the phone, put them on the coffee table, sorted out the contracts, and put them away. Guan Yue went in and took a blanket, covered Tianhe lying on the sofa, dried his hair, came to the living room, sat cross-legged under the sofa, and looked up at Tianhe's sleeping face.
After watching for a while, Guan Yue sat on the ground with his back against the sofa, took out a remote control from the sofa, turned on the floor-standing projection in the living room, and the circular projection theater began to play a movie.
The movie is "Wall-E", Guan Yue turned off the sound and only watched English subtitles. Just sitting there motionless, sitting on the ground in front of the sofa, like a silent German shepherd.
In his ears came the sound of Tianhe's even breathing when he was asleep.
When Tianhe woke up, he didn't know what time it was. He opened his eyes tiredly, trying to find some water to drink, but found himself covered with a blanket, while Guan Yue was curled up under the sofa, falling asleep like a dog.
When he was sleeping soundly, Guan Yue had long hands and long legs, and the legs of his pajama pants were pulled up a little when he curled up, revealing his beautiful ankles.
Tianhe found a glass of water on the small table next to the sofa. Guan Yue presumably poured it for him. And, the other half covered Guan Yue under the sofa.
"Wall-E"... It's been so many years, and I'm still watching this movie.
Tianhe chose a comfortable position to lie on his side. Although he had watched it many times, he was still attracted by the movie. I still remember the day when Guan Yue first arrived in London, Guan Yue took him to Big Ben, took a ride on the London Eye super ferris wheel, and watched this movie at night.
That year Tian He was just fourteen years old and Guan Yue was eighteen years old. Apart from his family friend, Guan Yue had another identity as Tian He's British guardian. So the classmates in Cambridge nicknamed Guan Yue "Daddy Long Legs", and Guan Yue never refuted it. The distance between Oxford and Cambridge is one hundred miles, and Guan Yue bought a mansion in the small town of St. Neo near Cambridgeshire as their new home, which is convenient for day and day. Every day after school in Oxford, I take a helicopter home all the way to accompany Tianhe.
In Tianhe's world, Guan Yue seems to have a place for granted. He never thought that one day he would leave him, which is almost unimaginable. That's why when Guan Yue went to Wall Street to join the job, it caused such a fierce rebound from Tianhe.
Backlash is back to backlash, Guan Yue's decision was never influenced by anyone, even Tianhe, he still left in the end.
How could I get through that time, Tianhe lay on the sofa, thinking.
After the movie finished playing, the projection screen went black automatically, and the living room was very quiet, except for the sound of Guan Yue lying on the floor, sleeping soundly. Hearing the all-too-familiar breathing sound, Tianhe got up gently from the sofa.
When Guan Yue left, Tianhe's life seemed to collapse. He was quite helpless during that time, but he had to endure it. However, in less than half a year, he unexpectedly slowly got used to it.
Guan Yue took every opportunity to come back to London to see him. There is a five-hour time difference between them across the Atlantic Ocean. Sometimes when Guan Yue flies back to London and then drives back to San Neo, it is already dawn. He lies quietly beside Tianhe and sleeps for a few hours. When Tianhe wakes up, he is crazy. Make love freely until evening, then drive to London and start back to New York.
Tianhe started to sort out the contract, folded it, and got the phone in the dark.
In those few years, Guan Yue was always very tired. Once he was in a hurry in Manhattan, and when he was crossing the street, he was playing video with Tianhe. He almost dodged and was hit by a car. Don't make such a fuss anymore, wait for him to go to New York.
A year later, the number of times they met gradually decreased, Guan Yue became more and more busy, and Tianhe's subjects became more and more burdensome. They often switched to video, waiting for Tianhe to graduate and live together in New York.
Looking at it now, there is no reason in the world that no one can't live without someone, at least Guan Yue is doing well now.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a ray of dawn was cast on the distant skyline, Tianhe put on his earphones, carefully stepped over Guan Yue under the sofa, and left Guan Yue's home.
Pro: "I'm working hard to hack his audio-visual system. The password is not difficult to crack. Do you want to see what's stored on his hard drive?"
Tianhe: "He doesn't watch porn, you don't have to work in vain, I now find that you don't know him at all."
Pro: "There's a 90 percent chance he'll kiss you while you're asleep, which is a pretty good chance."
"I don't want to listen to the brainless stories of the domineering president anymore," Tianhe said. "Those are all written to deceive people. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why don't you wake me up...call my lawyer, quick."
At six o'clock in the morning, Tianhe wandered around near the gas station. After searching for almost half an hour, he finally found his Lamborghini, got in the car angrily, and drove home.
