"I know your relationship!"
Su Xingchuan received two inexplicable messages in a row today, the first one was from Yan Tao.
Yan Tao: [Mr. Xu from Zhongjin has appointed you to be in charge of the financing project, and we will have a meeting at 2:00 p.m. to discuss the contract and the details of the work to be done later.]
What? Xu Zhengdong appointed him? Xu Zhengdong appointed him?
Before I could reply, Xu Zhengdong's message followed: "Be at the private dining room on Changting Street at five o'clock.
Su Xingchuan was baffled.
He was just about to go to Yan Tao when Chow King suddenly rushed in.
Zhou Jing had just learned that Xu Zhengdong had given the Zhongjin project to Su Xingchuan, and was furious, pointing at Su Xingchuan and saying that he was a sinister villain who had gone back on his word, and had done one thing in the open and one thing in the dark.
Xie Liang happened to be passing by and heard it, directly rushed in and blocked in front of Su Xingchuan, sneering: "What's in the open and what's in the dark? Manager Zhou, are you talking about yourself? The description is quite accurate."
Zhou Jing slapped the table, "You!"
Xie Liang is most displeased with Zhou Jing, they are not in the same department, Xie Liang is not afraid of him, scolded a moment of pleasure can not stop: "Xingchuan asked for half a month's sick leave, you blowing half a month's whispering to Mr. Yan, in order to grab the Zhongjin project, and the result? You're just trying to steal Zhongjin's project, but what's the result?
Zhou Jing was furious: "It's not your turn to interrupt!"
Fortunately, Yan Tao stopped them in the middle, so they didn't get into a fight, and in the end, Zhou Jing could only go back to his own office.
Leave Su Xingchuan alone in the office with a headache.
Once the contract was signed, Xu Zhengdong was half his boss.
For some time afterward, he was to see Xu Zhengdong every day, groveling and bending over his love rival ......
He can't do it.
For the first time, he was intimidated at work. it's not that he didn't dare to face Xu Zhengdong, it's just that he didn't know what kind of position he should take to face Xu Zhengdong. it's not that he and Xu Zhengdong were serious rivals, but what is he now? What is he now, a third party?
Not even a third party, Li Xuan did not give him a good face, but he clung on to his feelings.
Like a joke.
Depressed and unwell.
He had been too tired lately, he hadn't rested properly after the operation, much less conditioned himself, and even though it was a minimally invasive procedure, it still hurt his vitality, and he sat alone in his office chair for a while, taking a breather.
Whenever such times came, he would especially miss Li Xuan, especially miss the good mornings when he used to wake up with Li Xuan in his arms.
He agonized all day, but finally picked up his coat and drove to the private dining room on Changting Street.
Su Xingchuan didn't notice Changting Street at first, and when he drove past the bar where Li Xuan had gotten drunk that night, he reacted, Did ...... Did Xu Zhengdong find something?
He stayed as calm as he could.
After fixing his collar and hair in the car, he closes the door and walks towards what Xu Zhengdong describes as a private dining room with an unassuming front door, a small wooden antique door, only to realize that there is a secret passageway and a different world inside.
Su Xingchuan said to the waiter, "I'm looking for Mr. Xu from Zhongjin."
The waiter immediately understood, and smilingly led Su Xingchuan to the number one private room, "Mr. Su, here."
Su Xingchuan walks in and Xu Zhengdong is the only person in the large room, looking up at the sound of his voice and looking like he's been waiting for a long time.
"Come on." Xu Zhengdong said.
Su Xingchuan did not take a seat, he stood by the table, suppressing the cynicism and displeasure deep inside, trying his best to maintain the surface as if he was in a spring breeze, and took the initiative to greet him, "It's been a long time, Mr. Xu."
"It's been a long time," Xu Zhengdong still surveyed Su Xingchuan with that condescending scrutinizing look of his, then curved the corners of his mouth and smiled, asking, "What's the big deal you've been working on lately? So busy that you're even dumping my projects on others?"
He mentioned the project, and Su Xingchuan had to explain.
"Sorry, Mr. Xu, I haven't been feeling well lately."
"Bad health?"
Xu Zhengdong raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not well, so who was the one who carried Xuan out of the bar the night before last? Not you?"
Su Xingchuan's heart skipped a beat.
The hunch was right, Xu Zhengdong really found it!
Xu Zhengdong said to himself, "Xuan is at least 1.76 meters tall, and you can still walk well while holding a grown man, I really don't see what's wrong with your body."
Su Xingchuan changed his face.
Xu Zhengdong knows. He saw the surveillance.
That's why he purposely asked for a date on Changting Street.
What else did he see? Did he see Li Xuan lying on the couch in his arms? Or did he just see him take Li Xuan?
Su Xingchuan For a moment, even his breathing was disorganized.
Xu Zhengdong found his reaction amusing and raised his eyebrows, "By the way, I haven't told you yet, I'm Xuan's--"
Before Xu Zhengdong could say anything, Su Xingchuan interrupted him, "I know about your relationship!"
"How do you know?" Xu Zhengdong wondered.
Su Xingchuan clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were filled with harsh resentment, "Mr. Xu, that night was my own doing, it had nothing to do with Li Xuan, he was drunk, nothing happened that night."
Xu Zhengdong thought, "That's good, I didn't miss it.
Su Xingchuan paused for a few seconds, then made up his mind and said, "But I like Li Xuan, and have for many years!"
"Yes?"
Xu Zhengdong is about to be satisfied, Su Xingchuan immediately said: "Mr. Xu, in terms of work you are the A party is a senior, I should cherish this job opportunity, but since I said it, I also do not care about anything, if you are good to Li Xuan, I will never meddle in your relationship, if you are not good to him, I will definitely snatch him back! "
"........."
Xu Zhengdong fell silent.
What the hell?
What do you mean, stay out of your relationship?
How to intervene in an uncle-nephew relationship -
Xu Zhengdong suddenly reacted, and then it became clear.
Su Xingchuan misunderstood his relationship with Xuan.
No wonder this kid had worked hard for three months for the financing program before, but suddenly chose to give up in the past few days.
Xu Zhengdong clear thinking, now the work is not the focus.
The point is that Xuan said he still likes Su Xingchuan, and Su Xingchuan said he still likes Xuan, so isn't this a perfect match?
Wait, he remembers that Su Xingchuan has a boyfriend.
This kid has a boyfriend?
Xu Zhengdong looked Su Xingchuan up and down.
One of the things he was most satisfied with was Su Xingchuan's ability to control his emotions. Previously, he had made things difficult for Su Xingchuan several times at work, and when a piece of information had been delayed for a few days, Su Xingchuan had been able to digest his negative emotions in a timely manner. Just like this moment, although his emotions are on the verge of anger, he is still trying to restrain himself.
Both hands were still clenched into fists, and he stood at length at the table, head up, back straight, with no sign of irritation.
Xu Zhengdong thought: according to the reason is a calm and steady child, just said that the words are also quite poke heart, how can still do eat the bowl in the pot of things? Is it possible that there is a hidden agenda?
Just then, Li Xuan came to the door.
As soon as he got off work, he got a call from Xu Zhengdong.
Xu Zhengdong said, "Uncle is meeting Su Xingchuan for dinner today, do you want to see him?"
When Xu Zhengdong called him for dinner, he never said yes, but this time he didn't think twice: "I want to."
After saying that, he was afraid of Xu Zhengdong's joke, and in a cold voice, he said, "The hospital is very busy, so I may not be able to go there."
Xu Zhengdong laughed softly and didn't tear him down.
Li Xuan repeatedly urged Xu Zhengdong : "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, he has a boyfriend, don't do that kind of immoral thing."
Xu Zhengdong had a lot of affairs when he was young, and did not do a few moral things in his relationship, but for the sake of his nephew, he decided to change his ways, "Good, uncle will not be difficult for him."
Despite Xu Zhengdong's promise, Li Xuan is still a bit panicked, he is afraid that Xu Zhengdong will knock Su Xingchuan unconscious with a hammer and tie him up and send him to his bed - Xu Zhengdong is really capable of doing such a thing.
As soon as he got off work, he rushed to the restaurant by taxi, asked the waiter and ran straight to the private room, but when he got to the door, he stopped in his tracks, and Su Xingchuan was standing inside, his back to him.
When he saw Su Xingchuan's broad back and slightly lowered head, he suddenly became too timid to walk in.
Until Xu Zhengdong shouted, "Xuan, come in."
It took him a moment to snap back to his senses, and Su Xingchuan turned to look at him as well.
When they looked at each other, Su Xingchuan's eyes showed a fleeting sadness, and Li Xuan subconsciously held his breath.
He seldom saw such emotions in Su Xingchuan's eyes, most of the time Su Xingchuan was always gentle and pleasant, confident, in control of everything, infinitely tolerant of all his unreasonable tantrums, and Su Xingchuan was seldom sad, except for the time when he broke up.
When he insisted on breaking up, Su Xingchuan looked at him with such sad eyes and asked him why.
Seeing that look again, Li Xuan's heart ached to the point of suffocation, and his throat felt like it was clogged with something, but what could he say?
What else could he do after what had happened?
"Xuan, come sit."
The round table was the size of an eight-seater, so it was naturally more spacious for three people. Li Xuan wanted to sit between Xu Zhengdong and Su Xingchuan, but Xu Zhengdong suddenly got up, grabbed him by the wrist, and pulled him to his side, "Come and sit down."
Xu Zhengdong whispered in his ear, "Don't call me uncle."
Li Xuan frowned, "What?"
Xu Zhengdong whispered, "Don't worry about why first, uncle will help you spy on the military."
Li Xuan pursed his lips, he took a seat beside Xu Zhengdong, who said to Su Xingchuan, "Xiao Su, sit down."
Su Xingchuan looked dark, but still sat down.
He sat directly opposite Li Xuan, and their eyes frequently collided and then consciously moved apart.
Su Xingchuan didn't want to look at the picture in front of him, Li Xuan was sitting next to Xu Zhengdong, although the age difference was a bit big, Xu Zhengdong didn't look old, he was still elegant, he looked at Li Xuan with a smile, the same as Su Xingchuan back then.
It's strange that Li Xuan, who always has a cold face like an arrogant cat that doesn't care about people, always makes people look at him with a smile on their face.
Su Xingchuan lowered his eyes, and the fire in his heart grew stronger.
But in his jealousy, he always felt that something wasn't quite right.
How come Li Xuan's eyebrows and eyes resemble Xu Zhengdong's?
Xu Zhengdong broke the deadlock and introduced Li Xuan in a fake manner, "Xuan, Xiao Su and you went to college together, right? He is now in charge of Zhongjin's financing program and is very capable."
Li Xuan, still cold, gave a "hmmm" and fiddled with the mouth cloth folded into the shape of a sailboat with his fingertips.
Su Xingchuan thought: He's going to start folding the cloth.
Unsurprisingly, the next moment, Li Xuan rips the gag off.
This is the way he would relieve his irritation on occasions that made him uncomfortable, when he would also fold the hem of Su Xingchuan's coat, undo Su Xingchuan's watch repeatedly, or put his legs on Su Xingchuan's lap and coo in a low voice: Let's go out to play.
Li Xuan was always childish.
Xu Zhengdong and Su Xingchuan chatted about work, and the waiters were already bringing out the food one after another.
Xu Zhengdong is deliberately attentive to Li Xuan's food and exaggerates his words. Li Xuan frequently looks at Su Xingchuan, who doesn't even move his chopsticks, the corners of his lips are tense, and his expression is dark and uncertain.
Xu Zhengdong saw this and directly cut to the chase, "Xiao Su, I heard our Xuan say that you have a boyfriend, and he's also your colleague, so when are you going to bring him out and have dinner together."
Su Xingchuan and Li Xuan look up at the same time.
Su Xingchuan had forgotten that he had used Xie Liang as a front for his own pathetic pride, and he hadn't even thought that Li Xuan had even shared this kind of thing with Xu Zhengdong in great detail.
So in love?
He just confessed and demonstrated like a joke.
He's not even qualified to say that.
Su Xingchuan felt like his heart was about to hurt so much that he couldn't catch his breath, while still keeping his composure on his face, he hooked up the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said, "No problem, he's also always been eager to meet Mr. Xu."
Li Xuan's eyes quickly fell.
The mouth cloth in his hand was clutched out of shape.
Xu Zhengdong remembered the question Li Xuan had asked him earlier and asked it for Li Xuan: "Xiao Su, do your parents know that you like men?"
"Know."
"Do they agree?"
"I haven't actively mentioned it, and I don't know if they agree, they should, my parents are pretty open minded."
Li Xuan buried his head even lower, his nose sore from the aggravation.
Su Xingchuan knows nothing.
Dumbass.
Xu Zhengdong noticed Li Xuan's low mood, put his hand on Li Xuan's shoulder, rubbed his shoulder, and asked Su Xingchuan: "Did you talk to this person after work?"
Su Xingchuan didn't understand why Xu Zhengdong was asking him this.
This has long exceeded the boundaries of the topic between the boss and subordinates, even if they are love rivals, it is not necessary to talk about this.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Xu Zhengdong's hand on Li Xuan's shoulder, and immediately became furious, originally did not want to answer, but at this moment also could not help but say in a deep voice: "No, after the university breakup talk."
Li Xuan looked at him in awe.
Su Xingchuan looked him in the eyes and said word for word, "I also have to thank my boyfriend in college, I always thought I was broken by him, and then I realized that the orientation thing is really innate, I wouldn't just like-"
Before Su Xingchuan could say anything, Li Xuan interrupted him:
"No talking!"
Even if he already knew that Su Xingchuan had a new boyfriend, he didn't want to hear about it, not even a word. Just like when Su Xingchuan used to go to the debating club, he would say fiercely: no go!
Li Xuan has a lot of "no's" and Su Xingchuan has a lot of "yes's". Even after seven years, Su Xingchuan still listens to Li Xuan.
The scene became awkward.
Su Xingchuan and Li Xuan both fall silent.
Xu Zhengdong looked both ways and suddenly felt that he seemed to be a bit redundant, he thought for a moment, then cleared his throat, pretended to pick up his cell phone and glanced at it, and said in a serious tone, "That ...... something has happened to my company."
Su Xingchuan couldn't sit still.
Xu Zhengdong got up and said, "I have to go back and look around, you guys eat first, Xuan, have some more shrimp."
He grabbed his jacket and left before Su Xingchuan could get up to say hello, the door opened and closed, and Su Xingchuan was in a daze. Su Xingchuan was in a daze. Xu Zhengdong had left him alone with Li Xuan, what was this? A test for him?
The booth was quiet.
Li Xuan didn't want to waste the time he had alone with Su Xingchuan, but he didn't know what to say either, so all he could do was put his head down and eat the shrimp.
Today's pipa shrimp was very difficult to deal with, he had not peeled a complete shrimp after half a day, and when he was upset, Su Xingchuan put a bowl of shrimp dipped in sauce into his hand.
Su Xingchuan sat down next to him and helped him peel the shrimp as she had done before, and as she had done before, she rambled, "I've told you so many times, but you still can't remember to twist the shells when peeling the shrimp."
Li Xuan stared at him blankly.
Then he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Hate you."
Su Xingchuan The action pauses.
