Coming out of Lu Cheng's house, Tang Xiao went home directly, and Tang Xingquan happened to be drinking tea in the living room.

As soon as he saw his father, a burst of guilt and anxiety went straight into his heart.

Tang Xingquan was very calm, without any expression on his face, when he saw someone entering the door, he raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Where did you go last night?"

Tang Xiao lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip: "At a friend's house."

"Which friend?" Tang Xingquan looked at him and asked, "Liang Zhe?"

"...No." Tang Xiao took a breath and didn't intend to hide it, "Brother Lu's house."

Tang Xingquan's fingers holding the cup moved slightly, his face became a little gloomy, and he stared at him for a long time before looking away, but he didn't say anything, which surprised Tang Xiao.

The air was silent for a while, Tang Xingquan continued to ask: "When will your CP reality show be recorded?"

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Leave this weekend and record for two days." After speaking, he looked at his father and pretended to test, "Can I...can I go?"

Tang Xingquan put down his cup and snorted, "Whatever you want."

Tang Xiao blinked, thinking he had heard it wrong, and his doubts deepened.

As soon as Lu Cheng was mentioned before, my father would be furious, wishing to dig the other's ancestral grave.He must have known about their relationship by now.But today's attitude is really bizarre.

Tang Xiao didn't dare to ask about the "Rhine River" project, but felt a little uneasy about his heart.

The air continued to be silent, and he felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. He found an excuse and went upstairs. Tang Xingquan looked at his leaving figure, and an unpredictable emotion flashed in his eyes.After a while, he got up, pushed open the door of the viewing balcony, and sat down.A cigarette was held between his fingers, unlit, and he fiddled with it casually.

After waiting for a while, Tang Xingquan took out a business card and made a call. The moment he opened his mouth, the cigarette pinched by his fingertips broke in two.

"Mr. Lu, are you free? Let's talk."

In the afternoon, when Tang Xiao was about to go out, Tang Xingquan stopped him decisively: "You, come with me to the company."

Tang Xiao was stunned, his heart clenched even more.

The two sat in the car without talking all the way.

What should come will always come.He closed his eyes and prepared himself.

Arriving at the company, passing the door of the archives room, Tang Xiao subconsciously glanced at it. The black door was closed tightly, and a sense of anxiety and depression came over his face.

Tang Xingquan led him directly into the conference room and closed the door behind him.He pulled a chair and sat down, turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiao: "How does it feel to revisit the old place?"

Tang Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he didn't speak.Even though he was ready, his breathing was still tight.

Tang Xingquan leaned back in his chair, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "The good son I raised, for a man, he did not hesitate to sneak into his company and do such unscrupulous things."

Tang Xiao knew he was wrong, bit his lip, lowered his head, lower and lower.His fingertips were almost numb.

"It's a pity...it's a pity that you are so devoted." Tang Xingquan sneered, took the information bag in hand, and poured out two things.

Tang Xiao looked up and saw two document bags with the word "secret" on the table.

Layers of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in his mind.

"It's a surprise!" Tang Xingquan shook the two items, "The one you gave him was prepared "specially" for you, and the total project budget was a full percentage point higher than Tang Tuo's actual price. And the real The quotation has always been in my hand, have you come across it yet?"

Tang Xiao felt that his vision was a little swaying, his mind was "buzzing", and everything around him seemed to be distorted.

fake price...

He gave Lu Cheng a fake offer!

Tang Xingquan looked at him indifferently: "Do you think that Liang Qi and I are so stupid that we would discuss secrets on the phone without any defense, and that Liang Zhe heard it by such a coincidence?"

"Where do you think the company's archives are, all the people I raise are idiots? Let you, a hairy child, get the budget price easily?"

"The bid winning announcement will be issued immediately. The surname Lu is a businessman, and his interests are above all else. Do you think he will believe that you accidentally took the wrong one, or that you are simply the bait I sent to fight against the Lu family?"

Tang Xiao felt chills all over his body, as if his heart had been punched hard.The heart-piercing pain made the blood on his face fade away in an instant.

Only now did he understand that everything was set up by his father, killing two birds with one stone.

Why is he so stupid? Others dug a hole and waited for him to jump in. He didn't even think about it, and jumped down with his eyes closed.

What about Brother Lu?What about the project?

If the project is lost because of him, brother Lu must hate him to death.

Tang Xiao clenched his hands tightly in his trouser pockets, and he didn't even notice the sting of his nails digging into his palms.Fear and panic magnified inch by inch, expanding to the entire chest, almost exploding from the heart and lungs.

"I'm going to find him..." Tang Xiao supported his body and staggered up from the chair, "That's not the case, I'm going to find him..."

Tang Xingquan got up, dragged him back, and pressed him back on the chair, his face was gloomy as if a shower was coming.

"You still want to go to him! Make a call now and see if he still wants to see you."

With trembling fingers, Tang Xiao took out the phone, and there was the familiar number on the screen, but he still didn't dare to dial it.

He was afraid of hearing Lu Cheng's indifferent and disappointed voice, afraid of hearing him say on the phone: We're done.

He felt as if he had been soaked in the deep sea from head to toe, and the frozen feeling was about to suffocate him.

After calming down for several seconds, Tang Xiao bit his lips tightly and mustered up the courage to press down.

Called again, no answer...

The second time, still the same...

His face turned pale, and his whole heart felt cold.

One side of Tang Xingquan's mouth slightly raised, and he uttered a disdainful sentence between his teeth: "You two brats dare to confront me head-on!"

Tang Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were blurred, fear and panic crawled all over his body like a plague.

He had never felt so guilty and hopeless in his life.

That feeling is no different from Ling Chi.

At this moment, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, whispering something in Tang Xingquan's ear.

Tang Xingquan's eyes flashed layers of astonishment, and his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Are you sure?"

"Sure, Mr. Tang." The secretary handed over the tablet in his hand, hesitated for two seconds, and whispered something again.

Tang Xingquan heard the words, a coldness flashed in his eyes, his expression was complicated, he paused for a while, and then reluctantly nodded.

Two minutes later, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and a tall and straight figure appeared beside the door. Tang Xiao turned his head in a daze, and for a moment his eyes met, as if something had passed through his heart.

That person was the one he wanted to see in his dreams at this moment.

"Brother Lu." He stood up in a huff, his lips trembled, and his eyes suddenly misted.

"Sit down!" Tang Xingquan yelled at him, and the chandelier in the room was shaking slightly.

Lu Cheng glanced at Tang Xiao, did not speak, and turned his gaze back to Tang Xingquan's face calmly: "Mr. Tang, long time no see."

There was a sneer on Tang Xingquan's lips: "President Lu, I think I made it very clear to you on the phone before."

Lu Cheng remained expressionless: "Yes. But I still have something to say, and I need to make it clear to you face to face."

Tang Xiao felt his heart tremble. He didn't know when his father and Lu Cheng talked on the phone, or what they said.

Lu Cheng's eyes moved down and landed on the platform computer in Tang Xingquan's hand, and slowly raised his eyelids, "It seems that Mr. Tang has seen the announcement."

Tang Xingquan snorted and looked away, as if deliberately covering up some emotion.

The secretary told him just now that Lu's won the bid for the "Rhine River" project.

Tang Xingquan was shocked.

What he cares about is not this project, this kind of project is everywhere, and he does not lack this one.

What he wondered was, how could the Lu family win the bid...

The quote is fake, how can this be?

Isn't he in control of everything!

Lu Cheng withdrew his gaze and took out a folder from his business bag. Tang Xingquan was surprised to see that there were also two documents with the word "secret" inside.

He opened his mouth in astonishment: "What does this mean?"

"You have prepared two budget prices, and of course I can also prepare two. You lured Xiaoxiao in order to attack me through him, but you never thought that you secretly lured Lu's senior management, and the quotation you got was also me." It was specially "prepared for you. And the one I finally submitted was the budget that my special team spent several nights working out." Lu Cheng held the two quotations in his hand and said word by word.

After hearing Lu Cheng's words, Tang Xiao was not only shocked, but also heaved a sigh of relief.

His fake quotation didn't work. It's a great luck. He really has to thank God.

Tang Xingquan's lips opened and closed, closed and opened again, froze for a few seconds, and said coldly: "What evidence do you have that I lured your executives."

Lu Cheng pursed his lips, took out two more items, put them on the table and pushed Tang Xingquan over.

A photo, and a voice recorder.

Tang Xingquan took a look at the photo, his eyes suddenly widened.Tang Xiao noticed his father's strangeness, and couldn't help getting up and leaning over to have a look.

The moment his eyes fell on the photo, he was shocked to find that the person inside happened to be the strange man he saw in the corridor that day.Behind him is Tang Tuo's file room.

"Does it look familiar?" Lu Cheng stared at Tang Xingquan intently, "This photo was accidentally taken by Xiaoxiao's Google Glass. I'm very curious, how could Lu's commercial director appear in Tang Tuo's office building?"

Tang Xiao stared at the photo in a daze. He didn't even know that there was such a piece of evidence in the document he took.

"Xu Ang, an executive of the Lu family, I have suspected him for a long time, but I have no evidence until this time. After all, Xiaoxiao helped me." Lu Cheng glanced at Tang Xiao and said.

Tang Xing glanced at Tang Xiao with dark eyes, nervousness and uneasiness flashed in the latter's eyes, and he took two steps back subconsciously.

"Just yesterday afternoon, when I showed the photo to Xu Ang, he recruited everything in a hurry..." After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he took the recording pen on the desk and pressed the switch.

After a few seconds, a man's voice came from inside.

"...I lost money in stocks and owed usury. A few weeks ago, Mr. Tang found me and asked me if I would like to take a gamble and help me, which is considered to be helping him. He promised me to exchange 500 million for Lu's project budget price ..."

After the recording was played, Tang Xingquan's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and his fingers grabbed the edge of the table so hard that his phalanges turned white.

Lu Cheng took back the photos and recording pen and put them in the business bag: "I will destroy these things at the right time. But I have to say it: I know Mr. Tang doesn't care about money or projects, what he cares about is Xiaoxiao The relationship with me. What I want to tell you is that no matter what method or project you use, I can't lose, and you can't separate Xiaoxiao and me."

Tang Xiao's lips quivered slightly, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.He originally thought that after today, there was an abyss beneath him, but he didn't expect that Lu Cheng could stand on the edge of the cliff and pull him back.

When Tang Xingquan heard the last sentence, he couldn't take it anymore, so he stood up from his chair and slapped the table with wide eyes.

He may not want the project, and he may not want the money, but his son must not become a different kind.

"The Rhine River" is a bait, Liang Qi cooperates with him in acting, Xu Ang is a pawn, he fully believes that everything will go according to his expectations, but he bet on the right process and wrong ending.

Lu Cheng paused for a moment, then said calmly: "Mr. Tang, I still have something to say to you alone."

"Brother Lu..." Tang Xiao clenched his fingertips and whispered on the opposite side.

Lu Cheng tilted his head and glanced at him, "Xiaoxiao, can you go out and wait for me for a while?"

Tang Xiao's voice was stuck in his throat, and he stared blankly at the man not moving, and Lu Cheng didn't smile on his face, but when he looked at him, there was still a softness in his eyes.

Tang Xiao read the meaning, nodded slightly, opened the door and walked out.

Tang Xingquan looked away from the door, and looked at Lu Cheng with a cold face: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Cheng sat down, calm and indifferent: "Many people say that at the top of the business world, few can get out of the mud. I think I am innocent, but sometimes I can't help myself. But Xiaoxiao is different, he does not belong to this In the circle, he has a simple mind and never defends himself. Sometimes he really does not think about things, and he plunges into it with enthusiasm. Even so, he is not your tool, and you should not design him to use his feelings to check and balance me, whether it is us The relationship is still a business matter."

Tang Xingquan looked at Lu Cheng coldly: "What qualifications do you have to say that, he is my son, it's not your turn to say what I want."

"He is your son, but do you really know what he wants most? When he was a child, he felt that he was the loneliest child. The lively world around him never had anything to do with him. Did he tell you these words? ?”

Tang Xing was at a loss for words.He didn't know these things.In his impression, Tang Xiao would never talk to him.

"Xiaoxiao looks sunny and cheerful, but actually he is a very insecure person. He is afraid of accidents and loss, so he will be desperate and desperate for things that he didn't have before, but now he has them and doesn't want to lose them again."

Tang Xingquan had mixed feelings in his heart, and his heart sank again and again. After a long while, he closed his eyes, raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows: "Are you finished?"

"It's over." Lu Cheng put away the things on the table and stood up, "One last thing to add, I never doubted Xiaoxiao. So I don't believe a single word you said to me on the phone this afternoon. Now, "bait" has become a touchstone, Tang always can stop."

After the words fell, Lu Cheng withdrew his gaze, opened the door and strode out.

Tang Xiao was waiting in the small conference room next door. When he saw the figure of the man, he immediately ran up.

"Brother Lu..." His voice was a little hoarse, slightly nasal, and the corners of his eyes were red.

Lu Cheng patted him on the shoulder, and raised his finger to Tang Xingquan's room: "Go and talk to your father first, I'll wait for you in the car."

Tang Xiao raised his head, his eyes filled with steam: "Are you really going to wait for me?"

"Yes." Lu Cheng said.

With heavy steps, Tang Xiao pushed open the door of the large meeting room again. Tang Xingquan propped his arms on the table, and kept pressing his temples with his fingertips.

Seeing Tang Xiao approaching, Father Tang raised his eyelids and said calmly, "I thought you eloped directly with that Lu."

"No." Tang Xiao squeezed his fingertips, and said seriously, "He's waiting for me in the car."

Tang Xingquan: "..."

Tang Xiao lowered his head, not daring to look into his father's eyes, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I'm sorry, Dad. I did something wrong."

"Where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have given the project quotation to Brother Lu without authorization. Business is not a child's play, and I know it's wrong."

"The others?"

Tang Xiao's lips trembled, and he raised his eyelids slightly: "I know what you want to say, but... I don't think I was wrong in choosing to be with Brother Lu. The affection he gave me is what I said before. The moment I have never had, the moment I grab it, I can never let it go."

Tang Xingquan's expression froze for a moment, and his brows were still furrowed: "No one else can give you the affection he gave you? There are so many good girls in the world, and your conditions are not bad, why must it be him?"

"Others really can't give it to you." Tang Xiao lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I can't explain why, but... it must be him. It must be him."

Tang Xingquan was stunned, silent for a long time, and sighed: "The road is chosen by oneself, don't regret it in the future..."

Tang Xiao suddenly raised his head, looked at his father fixedly, and nodded: "I don't regret it."

Coming down from Tang Tuo's upstairs, Tang Xiao saw Lu Cheng's car at a glance, the engine was still on, obviously waiting for him.

His mind was still buzzing, and he stood outside the car for a while, unable to move.

It wasn't until Lu Cheng rolled down the car window and waved at him that he pinched the corner of his clothes and walked over slowly.

"What's the matter, so listless?" Lu Cheng took his hand and smoothed his hair.

"Brother Lu, I..." Tang Xiao felt the warmth of the man's palm. As soon as he opened his mouth, his emotions could no longer be controlled, and tears fell down.

Today's incident hit him too hard, and for the first time he felt like a complete joke.

At a certain moment, he desperately thought that he was about to lose the man in front of him.

Lu Cheng held Tang Xiao in his arms, patted his back lightly, and comforted him like stroking a pet dog.

After a while, Tang Xiao raised his head and said in a nasal voice, "Brother Lu, am I stupid, stupid, do you hate a boyfriend like me very much?"

"No, don't think too much about it." Lu Cheng smiled, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes, "But..." He paused, and slightly raised his eyelids.

When Tang Xiao heard this but, his body tensed up suddenly, and a chill ran up his back: "But what..."

Lu Cheng leaned over, pinched his cheek, and said half-jokingly: "Xiaoxiao, business warfare is not suitable for you, and the role of a spy is not easy to play. You are suitable to be a child, a simple and happy child. From now on, just be yourself ?"

Tang Xiao's larynx trembled, and he rushed forward and hugged the other party's neck tightly: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I won't pretend to be smart in the future and cause you trouble, I will learn the lesson, grow my brain, and mature as soon as possible like you. "

Lu Cheng stroked his back and placed a kiss on his forehead: "I am mature enough to protect you, so it doesn't seem to matter whether you are mature or not. Just grow up slowly, my child .”
