boss, i mean it
Chapter 62
However, making such a detour to go to his mother's house specially, Yu Chenggan's job is really just to act as a manual for human flesh.
There is no emotional scene of mother and child crying and forgiving each other, and even verbal care is omitted, and the research revolves around cleaning tools.Yu Chengma listened to a few words without saying a word, and said, "Then you go."Yu Cheng took the suitcase at the door and returned to Hangzhou to restart his nine-to-one life.
But Yu Cheng understood the meaning of this confession.Gu Tianjiao taught him what it means to be "independent but not an island" a year ago, and only then did he understand it.Thinking about it this way, the difference in maturity between him and Gu Tianjiao is at least a year.That still bothered him from time to time, and made him think about the issue of family affection that he had been thinking about for more than ten years, not to mention other aspects.
The days continue to rotate forward, and the spring breeze greens the south of the Yangtze River every year.Everything in the world never changes for anyone.
Yu Chengxin's life in one year is two points and one line in terms of "displacement"; but in terms of "path", it has unknowingly laid out a new track.
The center of gravity is called "Gu Tianjiao's time".
At 45:[-] a.m. on weekdays, Gu Tianjiao’s car enters the park on time from the west gate, crosses the park in the morning sun, and arrives at the first floor of the easternmost parking building;
At 55:30, Gu Tianjiao appeared at the elevator entrance on the first floor of Building No. [-] in the park, greeted colleagues he knew well, and went up to the top floor of Building No. [-] together to start the day's work.From then on, until twelve o'clock, he shuttled indeterminately between Building [-] and Building [-] where the core departments gathered.Yu Cheng needs to pay attention at all times, and constantly adjust his travel route to various meetings and meet various people, so as to ensure that he is [-] meters away from him, and the lowest bottom line is not to meet him head-on;
Gu Tianjiao seldom went to the cafeteria to eat at noon.
He always has an appointment, returns to the top floor of Building No. [-] from various places, takes the elevator down to the first floor, or directly goes to the parking building through the passage on the top floor and then goes down the elevator, and drives out with various people.Sometimes Wu Hedong is in the company, sometimes he is a colleague from the old team, sometimes it seems to be his old acquaintance, and sometimes he is alone—that is, he also goes out to eat alone, why?Yu Cheng didn't want to, didn't guess, so he didn't know.He only knew that at this time, he had to avoid all elevators, restrooms and aisles.
Therefore, he stayed as motionless as possible at his work station, covering his face with a notebook in front of him, wishing he could plant a tree next to him;
The rhythm of the afternoon is similar to that of the morning, just fine-tuning the time: at three o’clock, Gu Tianjiao will go to Starbucks to buy coffee for Wu Hedong and others; at 04:30 to buy fruit; Carry the computer, then randomly choose the route on the top floor or the first floor, and drift to the parking space.
Ten past six is the best time of the day.Yu Cheng went to the small supermarket on the first floor to buy a cup of tribute balls, instant noodles and other messy things. Holding the cup box in his hand to cover the lower half of his face, he only showed a pair of eyes, watching Gu Tianjiao's car. The load-bearing columns of the garage on the first floor of the building lightly passed his field of vision and disappeared on the main road out of the park.
Then, Yu Cheng maintained the same posture, leaning against the outer wall of the small supermarket, staring at the piece of air that once flashed the silhouette of Gu Tianjiao's car in a daze.
After returning to his soul for half a minute to a minute, Yu Cheng regained consciousness, looked at his phone, dragged himself back to his work station, and continued working after dinner.At ten o'clock in the evening, I pack my bags and tell myself that the daily routine of opening my eyes has been successfully completed.
But things haven't always been smooth.
For example, at the beginning of March, the Feitian business meeting that Yan Shen had mentioned was held as scheduled.Unexpectedly, however, the summit attracted the attention of the entire group's top management.From Yang Yu to Feitian, all P6 and above management personnel must participate.Gu Tianjiao was naturally on the management's attendance list, while Yu Cheng's department called for everyone to attend.
Strongly related departments and executives are arranged in the first three rows of the venue, so they can meet unexpectedly.If Yan Shen hadn't held Zhang Daikeng's edict temporarily, Yu Cheng would have almost avoided it.
Forget about working days, vacations don’t mean relaxation.
First of all, he and Gu Tianjiao used to go to the hairdressing studio together, so he had to go to the weekend at the end of the month.Then, going back to early January, then early February, and early March, the days when Gu Tianjiao went to Xizi Fengyue to pick up dried plums, Yu Cheng almost always passed by the car that appeared at the gate of the community.Especially this time in March, when Yu Cheng just arrived at the door, he heard Gu Tianjiao saying goodbye to the elephant.Fortunately, he was quick on his feet and rushed out of the house in a flash.
Watching Gu Tianjiao's back disappear far away, he squatted behind the evergreen bushes to hide, his heart almost broke.
The drama during the day is like this, but the night unfolds another picture scroll for Yu Cheng - Gu Tianjiao "sneaks into the night with the wind, moistens the dream silently".He could even see him with his eyes closed.
In the beginning, Yu Cheng was often confused by overly real dreams, and was uneasy by all kinds of fake corpses.But who made Gu Tianjiao "come" every day?With the theme of "renewing the frontier" agreed with Duke Zhou, Yu Cheng touched a few dozen hooks; behind each hook was hidden Gu Tianjiao.
In the dream, Yu Cheng turned into a fish and bit on it with one bite. Regardless of his subjective desire or objective plot development, he couldn't let go.
In this way, "Gu Tianjiao's time" accompanied Yu Cheng to live day after day.He breaks down a little during the day, but is content at night.If it weren't for other information channels to bring a more and more dangerous atmosphere to this spring, Yu Chengzhen planned to live like this.
On the last Saturday in March, Yu Cheng went to the company early again.While working overtime, he used his peripheral vision to feel the sunlight coming in from the window change from long to short, then changed color from short to long, and finally disappeared, replaced by the yellow light on the side of the road.
Just as he was about to eat something casually and dawdle home, Yu Cheng received a call.The caller was not a work partner, but the big boss he hadn't dealt with for a long time, Sa Yinghua.
Yu Cheng was surprised: "Hi, Sam?"
Sa Yinghua: "Yu Cheng, I remember that you seem to live near the company, right? Are you at home now?"
Yu Cheng: "At the company! What instructions do you have?"
Sally Yinghua: "Oh?" He paused, "If you are alone, come find me at the second south gate in five minutes, and I will drive you back."
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly packed up his things and started running south.
When I went out, I saw a blue-gray Toyota Prado parked under the street lights on the side of the road where the sky was falling.
There was a man leaning against the car door smoking a cigarette. Yu Cheng took a long time to confirm that this man was really Sally Yinghua—he remembered that he didn’t smoke—not only was this abnormal, but he also abandoned his previous meticulous dressing style and kept a low profile. He wore a peaked cap that covered half of his face, and he wore a dusty jacket and jeans that couldn't be seen in the crowd.
All this gave Yu Cheng a paradoxical intuition.
Seeing him, Say Yinghua smiled, put out his cigarette and beckoned him to get in the car together.
Say Yinghua started the engine and asked, "Where is your home?"
Yu Cheng: "...Xizi Fengyue, go straight along this road for five... At your speed, you will arrive in three minutes."
As he spoke, his voice faded out automatically.It wasn't the key point, but he couldn't find the "key point" switch for a while.Sa Yinghua didn't get straight to the point, and continued to ask questions.The two of them were thinking about each other, and the car had already arrived at the gate of Xizi Fengyue.
Say Yinghua stopped the car, lit a cigarette by himself, and did not speak for several seconds.Yu Cheng waited quietly.
Suddenly Sa Yinghua sighed, turned around and smiled at him: "Yu Cheng, how long have we not seen each other?"
Yu Cheng smiled, ambiguously: "Yes, the department has grown rapidly during this time, and I feel like I haven't seen you in half a year. You are also busy, aren't you?"
Sally Yinghua laughed: "You're welcome!" Yu Cheng sneered, and Sally Yinghua said again, "To be honest, we serve the same team, and it's a big problem if we can't see each other for a long time. Especially you! Since Double Eleven last year, I feel like you... completely disappeared?"
Yu Cheng was embarrassed and regained his senses.No matter what purpose Sa Yinghua came to him for, he is now the head of their department, expressing dissatisfaction with his work performance and work attitude in Chiguoguo.He has to answer this question well.
So Yu Cheng carefully considered his vocabulary, tried not to be subjective, and gave an overview of his work to Sa Yinghua.
Yu Cheng: "...that's the main thing. You feel that I 'disappeared', because all the business I took had nothing to do with transaction activities. Without data, it's hard to say results, plus the business content is closed, and there is almost no intersection with the team... ..." He smiled, "So, the new colleagues who arrived this month may not even know me."
Sally Yinghua frowned slightly: "You took care of the work from P4 to P7 by yourself?"
Yu Cheng sneered, and didn't just say "yes" - this kind of thing, at worst, is a grabbing of eyebrows and beards, the division of labor is unclear, and the level of management of employees themselves is also a problem; But if you haven't experienced it, who will believe it?
Sa Yinghua was silent for a moment, as if he got the answer from Yu Cheng's expression.But he was not reconciled: "Don't communicate if there is no intersection? I remember that you are not a teamplayer?"
Yu Cheng is in a complicated mood: "Now is the situation: Shan Yongchang is theoretically my real-line boss, but the boss I serve at the same time, the manpower ownership weight is also greater, and it is Song He from the Feitian Technology Department. Most of the time, I'm all in Song He's team, and even if I return to women's clothing, I still have to deal with external partners." He paused, "I haven't had direct contact with Brother Chang for several months, and his assignments are all made by Yan Shen or Song The boss is here to send a message."
Sally Yinghua keenly grasped a point: "External? What partner?"
Yu Chenglue was worried: "The major operators in Hangzhou and Shanghai."
Sally Yinghua was thoughtful: "Has Charles agreed?"
Yu Cheng: "He approved it...Of course, I double checked with him and Boss Song separately on Shuahua."
Say Yinghua nodded, but didn't go into details.Turning around, I asked again: "You are P6, why didn't you bring someone with you?"
Yu Cheng smiled wryly: "The team is not manned enough."
Sa Yinghua frowned: "I see that your team has recruited more than a dozen new people in the past three months. Except for you, almost the entire old team has been replaced..." Yu Cheng was silent, and Sa Yinghua thought for a while, " Yan Shen, what is his main job?"
Yu Cheng paused slightly.Theoretically, these questions should not be asked of Saw Yinghua.He seemed to be able to figure out the real reason why Sa Yinghua came to him, but he still didn't dare to make mistakes, and said half-heartedly: "The situation is communicated across teams."
Sa Yinghua raised his eyebrows: "Then why did he report at the business meeting... By the way, come to think of it, it's mostly your work. You don't even have time to go to the meeting?" Yu Cheng smiled ambiguously and didn't answer, Sa Yinghua looked at him carefully, "In your industry, since the organizational structure in the intranet is inconsistent with the actual situation, what is the actual situation like?"
Yu Chengjing was silent, this question was within his expectation.He sorted out the team composition and division of labor that he knew, and explained it to Sally Yinghua.
Say Yinghua lit cigarettes one by one, and after listening silently, he suddenly asked directly: "What's the problem here?"
Yu Cheng paused.
Say Yinghua: "Since I've found you, don't worry about it. Say what you think."
By this time, Yu Cheng finally figured out the source of his "paradox" feeling.
First of all, for an old man like Sa Yinghua, who is in his forties, has a high EQ, and lives a healthy life, because of something—it’s okay to quit smoking, but he is so worried that he has changed from a non-smoker to a smoker—it must be due to encounters. What was the big deal? Secondly, the big thing was related to Yu Cheng's team. Finally, he was so worried that he went out low-key on the weekend, but he asked Yu Cheng to understand the management problems of his team...
All kinds of unreasonable synthesis point to an answer: women's clothing makes Sa Yinghua very upset.
Whether the crux of the distress is a person or a specific event, Yu Cheng can't guess randomly.But since it's a management question, his answers are more or less bound to reveal "people".
It's impossible for Sally Yinghua not to know, otherwise he wouldn't give him peace of mind.In other words, Sa Yinghua is now inviting Yu Cheng to "stand in line".
Yu Cheng's mind spins at the speed of light.
I have always heard that standing in line is a taboo in the workplace, and one wrong step can be a matter of life and death.In this regard, Yu Cheng stayed far away from even ordinary chats.He could pretend not to understand Saw Yinghua's "invitation" and continue to remain neutral.According to his understanding, Sa Yinghua is not the insidious type with a small belly, and he will have nothing to lose in the future.
On the contrary, if you stand on the team of Sally Yinghua - he and Sally Yinghua can only be regarded as "casual acquaintances".What's more, the other party has not disclosed any situation to him until now-can this be considered "cooperation"?
Standing in a team either wins or loses. If Sa Yinghua loses, Yu Cheng will never be spared—then he ruined his future because of a casual acquaintance.
What if he wins - Looking into Sa Yinghua's eyes, Yu Cheng immediately thought of another person, Gu Tianjiao.
He had no way to inquire about Gu Tianjiao's affairs.But judging from the vigorous performance of the wireless platform during this period, and the company's emphasis on the wireless business department, the upper management will definitely not make things difficult for this department.Since it is not the overall situation that needs to be liquidated, the remaining possibility is that Wu Hedong is messing with Gu Tianjiao.
He thought that Gu Tianjiao and Sa Yinghua were the same big boss.If I helped Sa Yinghua in this match, and assuming that Sa Yinghua won, could I ask him to help Gu Tianjiao?Didn't you hear that Sa Yinghua and Yang Yu have a good relationship?Maybe he can surpass Wu Hedong and help him at a higher level?
After all, there was no sound at all from Gu Tianjiao's end, and Yu Cheng couldn't exert any force.
Yu Cheng certainly understands how unreliable this kind of hope is.But talk is better than nothing.It's too late to find out why he wants to use his own future to put a long line for Gu Tianjiao that may only end in "hope", Yu Cheng has put away a safe distance.He nodded to Sa Yinghua: "Yan Shen is Shan Yongchang's own person."
Sally Yinghua: "I know that."
Yu Cheng: "He told me that Shan Yongchang and him are like brothers. At the beginning, he gave up double his salary and followed Shan Yongchang from Joyfull. Inspired by the lofty ambitions of the web'. But there is a paradox..."
Sa Yinghua's eyes did not flicker, and Yu Cheng continued: "Since we are brothers, even if Yan Shen regards money as dung, what about Shan Yongchang? How can he be willing to let his brothers lose so much? Based on the company's current salary, Yan Shen Gentleman has to be promoted at least two more levels before he can match his previous income-up two levels, he needs at least two years, right?"
Say Yinghua nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.
At this point, Yu Cheng simply put himself on the cutting board: "It was Yan Shen's suggestion that I established a cooperation model with the agent operator. Among them, the closest cooperation is their old club, Xifuhui— — as far as I know, other lines of business are similar.”
Sai Yinghua raised his eyebrows.
Yu Chengyun cleared his throat: "The several businesses I am in charge of, from the general development vision to the detailed implementation method in stages, and even more detailed, to the updated content of the month, the boss of Joyfullhui often takes the initiative to 'discuss' with me. I It’s okay if you approve, report, and get the execution confirmation letter from Shan Yongchang; if I don’t approve it, he finds nothing after talking with me. Usually, within a day or two, Shan Yongchang will ask Yan Shen to relay the new decision from him, order I implement it. And those so-called vertical market new decisions are exactly the same as the suggestions given to me by the CEO of Joyfull.”
Say Yinghua's eyes brightened, but he threw the ball back: "You mean, Shan Yongchang has an improper relationship with Xifuhui?"
Yu Cheng didn't dare to nod his head, and he didn't dare to say no: "In terms of resource exchange, the sum of the resources obtained by all other agency operations we cooperate with is equal to that obtained by the Xifuhui family. Many cooperations are Yan Shen's word of mouth" to let me Established with Xifuhui.”
Sally: "Is there any evidence?"
Yu Cheng thought for a while: "There are corresponding emails, screenshots of the page, and some chat records. I will organize them and hand them over to you as soon as possible."
Sa Yinghua glanced at Yu Cheng several times before looking at the night scene outside the windshield: "OK..." He smiled, "Yu Cheng, let's not mention anything else—I have a bunch of messes in my hand right now, so it's slow. Take it easy. The fiscal year is approaching, so pay attention to your annual performance.” Yu Cheng paused, and then said, “You know, right? Annual performance is not the weighted average of your previous Q (quarter) performance. It's your boss' final decision. Your current organizational structure is relatively complex, don't wait until the last minute to feel unfair. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yu Cheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for reminding me."
Sally Yinghua: "Today's talk, keep it a secret!"
Yu Cheng opened the door and got off the car: "Don't worry!"
Under the street lamp, Yu Cheng had half suspicious cloud and half dark cloud above his head, frowning as he watched Say Yinghua's car drive away.Suddenly the phone beeps.He subconsciously opened it, then paused.
In the Jinhua group, someone mentioned it cryptically again, saying: "It feels like the smell of changing the sky is getting stronger and stronger!"
Another person echoed: "During the earthquake, everyone should be careful!"
Then there is a series of expressions, some say "shh", "sweat", and "bad", but no one asked what happened.Yu Cheng suddenly dialed the number he had deleted long ago but remembered in his heart at a speed that he didn't understand.
After two beeps that pierced Yu Cheng's heartbeat, Gu Tianjiao's voice was as happy and calm as ever: "Aaron?"
Yu Cheng tried his best to catch his breath: "Brother, are you free? I want to talk to you about work."
Gu Tianjiao: "Are you at the company or at home?"
Yu Cheng: "You know that I work overtime?...Uh, at the gate of the community."
Gu Tianjiao: "Okay, wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, the night froze.Yu Cheng convinced himself that making an appointment is the right thing to do.See what you need to see, talk what you need to talk about, at least keep the information symmetrical.Otherwise, if he continues to avoid it like this, after April, if Gu Tianjiao is really no longer found on the intranet, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
What's more, just like Xie Zhixing's breakup line, he didn't want to break up with Gu Tianjiao.
Five minutes later, Gu Tianjiao's car slid to Yu Cheng's side silently. Yu Cheng was overjoyed, but felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.Then, Gu Tianjiao got out of the car, smiled at him and said "Hi", Yu Cheng looked at the thin blue sweater on his body, his heart, liver and lungs stretched and twisted into a lump, and his eyes ached from comfort.
Gu Tianjiao walked around the car and approached him. Yu Cheng heard himself giggling, calling "Brother", and then said: "Long time no see...how are you at home?"
Gu Tianjiao looked at him intently and said with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Cheng: "How is little girl?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Alright."
Yu Cheng nodded and laughed wildly, reminding like a galloping horse in his mind, "Talk about work, talk about work", but he blurted out: "Do you have any companions? I...see you go out to eat alone at noon...uh ..."
Gu Tianjiao said firmly: "No." He stared at Yu Cheng, "waiting."
When he said "waiting", Yu Cheng wasn't sure what he meant, but there was a moment of happiness and momentary disappointment in his heart, and then a lot of joy ups and downs, mixed with strands of strong loss.
He was stunned as if plunged into a dream, stepping on the cotton under his feet, and suddenly took a long mouthful of pure oxygen that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The hole in his chest that he had been used to for a long time seemed to be filled by something.Yu Cheng came back to his senses, only to realize that he was hugging Gu Tianjiao tightly.
Reason made him embarrassed, he quickly let go, took two steps back, and said with his tongue unsteadily: "Brother, this, this is, okay, long time no see..."
It's "Long time no see" again, the words are so poor!Yu Cheng looked around subconsciously, with nowhere to put his hands and feet.
But Gu Tianjiao was fine.When Yu Cheng lost his mind and hugged him, although he didn't respond in time, he didn't resist or even become stiff; when Yu Cheng regained his composure and let him go, he didn't hold back, and stood up naturally, and answered his words with a smile: "Yes ah."
Yu Cheng: "Okay, I..." He calmed down for a while, and looked at Gu Tianjiao again, "Brother, do you think this is good - I will raise all the dried plums from now on, of course, it is our common... child. "
Gu Tianjiao's smile faded and he didn't speak.
Yu Cheng looked down at the ground: "If... there is any inconvenience in the future, if you are tight, I can support you five thousand a month. Unless I am also fired at the same time... We, anyway, will always be, brothers..."
Gu Tianjiao looked at him calmly, but there was a look in his eyes that Yu Cheng had seen before.Weird, the meaning is difficult to understand.
So, Yu Cheng couldn't speak anymore, and the two of them just stood in the cold night wind.After an unknown amount of time, Gu Tianjiao laughed and said, "It's windy and dusty here, why don't we chat in another place?"
Yu Cheng: "Okay."
Gu Tianjiao: "It's not convenient for you, why don't you sit with me?"
The street lights reflected small bright spots in Gu Tianjiao's eyes, and Yu Cheng couldn't be more confused.When he came back to his senses, he had already tied it up on the co-pilot.
The smell in the car is fresh and the accessories are familiar.In an instant, Yu Cheng felt that old memories surrounded him, the only difference was that he no longer dared to look directly at the driver beside him.When he turned his attention to the scenery outside the window, Yu Cheng was stunned again—their car was driving on a completely unfamiliar road, and a few minutes later they drove into a completely unfamiliar neighborhood.
Yu Cheng's heart sank, he lacked confidence and asked, "Did you move?"
The corner of Gu Tianjiao's mouth turned up slightly, leading the car to pass through the main road of the community with excellent greenery: "Well, this is the 'Xianghu Gate'. I rented it in October last year."
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that when he left Gu Tianjiao's home in Crystal City, it would be a permanent farewell.
Gu Tianjiao: "It took more than two months to decorate, and we just moved here in mid-January."
He didn't mention why he moved, and Yu Cheng thought he knew the answer, but he didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't dare to ask.However, seeing the housing structure of the community along the way, he suddenly felt that what he said to Gu Tianjiao just now, "If money is tight in the future, I can support you", was simply a big joke.
The neighborhood is full of beautiful small trees with dark green embellished with new green, and independent small buildings with crimson glass roofs and light yellow walls stand quietly in it.Each small building has two units and two households. Each household has three floors above ground and one and a half floors of underground garages.Most of the neighborhood is dark, but those with lights on, from the opening and closing of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenes leaking out are all "the color of money".
In silence, they stopped in front of a small building with a lighted living room.Gu Tianjiao said: "Here we are. Our family lives here."
Yu Cheng absent-mindedly hummed, seeing Gu Tianjiao pressed the remote control, the pure white garage door opened, and then closed automatically behind them soon after.He followed Gu Tianjiao with complicated emotions, and went directly upstairs from the garage stairs into the living room.
The side door was pushed open, and Yu Cheng had never seen it before, but he felt very familiar with the warm decoration style.The yellowish overhead light illuminates the beige wall, and the sofa and coffee table are all old faces.In the huge space, the sound of music flows as always.Yu Cheng didn't dare to take a closer look, just after the door rang, a fat beige lightning flashed down the handrail on the second floor, pierced him, and saved him.
Yu Cheng: "Hey strong man! It's all right!" He hugged the extremely excited plum dried vegetable, scratched its short hair to calm it down, changed his shoes, and asked Gu Tianjiao who locked the door behind him, "Tingting is upstairs ?”
Gu Tianjiao: "No, come tomorrow."
Yu Cheng: "...Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Her mother has enrolled her in a lot of parent-child interaction interest classes, which are all piled up on Saturdays. Starting this month, the visiting days will be shortened to Sundays."
Yu Cheng frowned, Gu Tianjiao still greeted Yu Cheng as if nothing happened, poured him a glass of water, then called away dried plums and poured dog food for him, busy back and forth, saying: "I see you, don't you?" Too tired from work? I feel much paler."
Yu Cheng was embarrassed, and Gu Tianjiao said again: "Put your bag anywhere! Didn't you eat? I'll make you something to eat!"
Yu Cheng: "No trouble, brother... I, I'll leave after chatting with you."
Gu Tianjiao poured himself a glass of water, sat down and said, "Okay, let's talk!"
Yu Cheng: "..."
Looking at Gu Tianjiao's focused eyes, for some reason, Yu Cheng only had enough strength to open his mouth a few times.
It wasn't until after the meal that the dried plums were uncharacteristically lively again, Yu Cheng rubbed the big dog that was stomping on his lap, and hesitantly asked a question: "I rented this house last October, and I spent energy on decorating it, why? ah?"
Gu Tianjiao said frankly: "Didn't we recruit packing workers for the elephant last September, and we were surrounded by a group of 'quasi-acquaintances'? You are afraid of exposing your relationship, and you don't want to live in hiding after work-from that day on, I will Looking for a new place. As you can see here, it is about ten kilometers away from the company. The location is remote, full of double-detached townhouses, and the rough monthly rent is only [-]—the company’s pragmatic people don’t live here.”
Yu Cheng's heart was full of emotions, Gu Tianjiao went on to say: "It would be easy to rent a hardcover house, but this kind of house, the landlord will pretend to be extravagant. I have seen a few sets, and I don't think you will like it. Here is my I found someone to design it according to your preferences, as a birthday surprise for you. There is a room that also combines your mother's taste, and I have changed several drafts!"
Yu Cheng's viscera were almost crushed, he threw away the dried plums, held back for a long time, and forced a smile and said: "You must...the intestines are regretful..."
Gu Tianjiao smiled and didn't answer.Waiting for Yu Cheng to calm down, he stood up, raised his chin and encouraged Yu Cheng: "Go, go up and have a look!"
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but shook his head without moving.Gu Tianjiao: "How stupid to just sit! Didn't you want to talk to me about business?"
Yu Cheng: "Here you can..."
Gu Tianjiao went upstairs by himself: "Come on!"
Yu Cheng: "..."
Meigancai ran away with Gu Tianjiao.Yu Cheng originally wanted to stick to staying in the living room, but he had thoughts, but he didn't have the guts to appreciate the layout of the room, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.For a moment he wanted to leave quietly through the main entrance, but the moment he stood up, his dog-like legs automatically pushed him upstairs.
Following Gu Tianjiao's voice to the third floor, Yu Cheng glanced up.Half of the third floor is a fully transparent sunny greenhouse, and the other half is a mysterious room with thick wooden doors.
Gu Tianjiao stood in front of the door and beckoned Yu Cheng to come in, and shut the door with dried plums and vegetables.
Yu Cheng: "This is..."
Behind the mysterious wooden door is a small gym that is ventilated on three sides.It is about fifty square meters in size, with a mirror wall and poles on all four walls. Half of the floor is covered with wooden floors, and the other half is equipped with shock-absorbing carpets.However, there are only a few small props in the corner of the equipment, which are basically their original indoor fitness gadgets.
Gu Tianjiao stuffed a pair of bright red things into his hand and said, "Put it on."
Yu Cheng looked away: "Boxing gloves?"
Gu Tianjiao didn't explain, and skillfully helped him put it on, and then used his teeth to help him put on a pair of black ones for himself: "I just bought it online, not professional. We just play for fun, not professional."
Yu Cheng was dumbfounded: "Huh? But bro..."
Gu Tianjiao pulled him to the center of the room, kicked off the slippers, and smiled with encouragement and orders: "What's the matter, let's talk while playing!"
Yu Cheng: "I won't..."
Gu Tianjiao: "I don't know how, so there are no rules, and you can fight as you want. Let's start!"
Yu Cheng: "Then how can we talk..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a pair of black fists approaching, and with a "bang", Yu Cheng staggered.He reacted with a slap on the face.
Yu Cheng felt cold all over, and felt that something was broken.
There is no emotional scene of mother and child crying and forgiving each other, and even verbal care is omitted, and the research revolves around cleaning tools.Yu Chengma listened to a few words without saying a word, and said, "Then you go."Yu Cheng took the suitcase at the door and returned to Hangzhou to restart his nine-to-one life.
But Yu Cheng understood the meaning of this confession.Gu Tianjiao taught him what it means to be "independent but not an island" a year ago, and only then did he understand it.Thinking about it this way, the difference in maturity between him and Gu Tianjiao is at least a year.That still bothered him from time to time, and made him think about the issue of family affection that he had been thinking about for more than ten years, not to mention other aspects.
The days continue to rotate forward, and the spring breeze greens the south of the Yangtze River every year.Everything in the world never changes for anyone.
Yu Chengxin's life in one year is two points and one line in terms of "displacement"; but in terms of "path", it has unknowingly laid out a new track.
The center of gravity is called "Gu Tianjiao's time".
At 45:[-] a.m. on weekdays, Gu Tianjiao’s car enters the park on time from the west gate, crosses the park in the morning sun, and arrives at the first floor of the easternmost parking building;
At 55:30, Gu Tianjiao appeared at the elevator entrance on the first floor of Building No. [-] in the park, greeted colleagues he knew well, and went up to the top floor of Building No. [-] together to start the day's work.From then on, until twelve o'clock, he shuttled indeterminately between Building [-] and Building [-] where the core departments gathered.Yu Cheng needs to pay attention at all times, and constantly adjust his travel route to various meetings and meet various people, so as to ensure that he is [-] meters away from him, and the lowest bottom line is not to meet him head-on;
Gu Tianjiao seldom went to the cafeteria to eat at noon.
He always has an appointment, returns to the top floor of Building No. [-] from various places, takes the elevator down to the first floor, or directly goes to the parking building through the passage on the top floor and then goes down the elevator, and drives out with various people.Sometimes Wu Hedong is in the company, sometimes he is a colleague from the old team, sometimes it seems to be his old acquaintance, and sometimes he is alone—that is, he also goes out to eat alone, why?Yu Cheng didn't want to, didn't guess, so he didn't know.He only knew that at this time, he had to avoid all elevators, restrooms and aisles.
Therefore, he stayed as motionless as possible at his work station, covering his face with a notebook in front of him, wishing he could plant a tree next to him;
The rhythm of the afternoon is similar to that of the morning, just fine-tuning the time: at three o’clock, Gu Tianjiao will go to Starbucks to buy coffee for Wu Hedong and others; at 04:30 to buy fruit; Carry the computer, then randomly choose the route on the top floor or the first floor, and drift to the parking space.
Ten past six is the best time of the day.Yu Cheng went to the small supermarket on the first floor to buy a cup of tribute balls, instant noodles and other messy things. Holding the cup box in his hand to cover the lower half of his face, he only showed a pair of eyes, watching Gu Tianjiao's car. The load-bearing columns of the garage on the first floor of the building lightly passed his field of vision and disappeared on the main road out of the park.
Then, Yu Cheng maintained the same posture, leaning against the outer wall of the small supermarket, staring at the piece of air that once flashed the silhouette of Gu Tianjiao's car in a daze.
After returning to his soul for half a minute to a minute, Yu Cheng regained consciousness, looked at his phone, dragged himself back to his work station, and continued working after dinner.At ten o'clock in the evening, I pack my bags and tell myself that the daily routine of opening my eyes has been successfully completed.
But things haven't always been smooth.
For example, at the beginning of March, the Feitian business meeting that Yan Shen had mentioned was held as scheduled.Unexpectedly, however, the summit attracted the attention of the entire group's top management.From Yang Yu to Feitian, all P6 and above management personnel must participate.Gu Tianjiao was naturally on the management's attendance list, while Yu Cheng's department called for everyone to attend.
Strongly related departments and executives are arranged in the first three rows of the venue, so they can meet unexpectedly.If Yan Shen hadn't held Zhang Daikeng's edict temporarily, Yu Cheng would have almost avoided it.
Forget about working days, vacations don’t mean relaxation.
First of all, he and Gu Tianjiao used to go to the hairdressing studio together, so he had to go to the weekend at the end of the month.Then, going back to early January, then early February, and early March, the days when Gu Tianjiao went to Xizi Fengyue to pick up dried plums, Yu Cheng almost always passed by the car that appeared at the gate of the community.Especially this time in March, when Yu Cheng just arrived at the door, he heard Gu Tianjiao saying goodbye to the elephant.Fortunately, he was quick on his feet and rushed out of the house in a flash.
Watching Gu Tianjiao's back disappear far away, he squatted behind the evergreen bushes to hide, his heart almost broke.
The drama during the day is like this, but the night unfolds another picture scroll for Yu Cheng - Gu Tianjiao "sneaks into the night with the wind, moistens the dream silently".He could even see him with his eyes closed.
In the beginning, Yu Cheng was often confused by overly real dreams, and was uneasy by all kinds of fake corpses.But who made Gu Tianjiao "come" every day?With the theme of "renewing the frontier" agreed with Duke Zhou, Yu Cheng touched a few dozen hooks; behind each hook was hidden Gu Tianjiao.
In the dream, Yu Cheng turned into a fish and bit on it with one bite. Regardless of his subjective desire or objective plot development, he couldn't let go.
In this way, "Gu Tianjiao's time" accompanied Yu Cheng to live day after day.He breaks down a little during the day, but is content at night.If it weren't for other information channels to bring a more and more dangerous atmosphere to this spring, Yu Chengzhen planned to live like this.
On the last Saturday in March, Yu Cheng went to the company early again.While working overtime, he used his peripheral vision to feel the sunlight coming in from the window change from long to short, then changed color from short to long, and finally disappeared, replaced by the yellow light on the side of the road.
Just as he was about to eat something casually and dawdle home, Yu Cheng received a call.The caller was not a work partner, but the big boss he hadn't dealt with for a long time, Sa Yinghua.
Yu Cheng was surprised: "Hi, Sam?"
Sa Yinghua: "Yu Cheng, I remember that you seem to live near the company, right? Are you at home now?"
Yu Cheng: "At the company! What instructions do you have?"
Sally Yinghua: "Oh?" He paused, "If you are alone, come find me at the second south gate in five minutes, and I will drive you back."
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly packed up his things and started running south.
When I went out, I saw a blue-gray Toyota Prado parked under the street lights on the side of the road where the sky was falling.
There was a man leaning against the car door smoking a cigarette. Yu Cheng took a long time to confirm that this man was really Sally Yinghua—he remembered that he didn’t smoke—not only was this abnormal, but he also abandoned his previous meticulous dressing style and kept a low profile. He wore a peaked cap that covered half of his face, and he wore a dusty jacket and jeans that couldn't be seen in the crowd.
All this gave Yu Cheng a paradoxical intuition.
Seeing him, Say Yinghua smiled, put out his cigarette and beckoned him to get in the car together.
Say Yinghua started the engine and asked, "Where is your home?"
Yu Cheng: "...Xizi Fengyue, go straight along this road for five... At your speed, you will arrive in three minutes."
As he spoke, his voice faded out automatically.It wasn't the key point, but he couldn't find the "key point" switch for a while.Sa Yinghua didn't get straight to the point, and continued to ask questions.The two of them were thinking about each other, and the car had already arrived at the gate of Xizi Fengyue.
Say Yinghua stopped the car, lit a cigarette by himself, and did not speak for several seconds.Yu Cheng waited quietly.
Suddenly Sa Yinghua sighed, turned around and smiled at him: "Yu Cheng, how long have we not seen each other?"
Yu Cheng smiled, ambiguously: "Yes, the department has grown rapidly during this time, and I feel like I haven't seen you in half a year. You are also busy, aren't you?"
Sally Yinghua laughed: "You're welcome!" Yu Cheng sneered, and Sally Yinghua said again, "To be honest, we serve the same team, and it's a big problem if we can't see each other for a long time. Especially you! Since Double Eleven last year, I feel like you... completely disappeared?"
Yu Cheng was embarrassed and regained his senses.No matter what purpose Sa Yinghua came to him for, he is now the head of their department, expressing dissatisfaction with his work performance and work attitude in Chiguoguo.He has to answer this question well.
So Yu Cheng carefully considered his vocabulary, tried not to be subjective, and gave an overview of his work to Sa Yinghua.
Yu Cheng: "...that's the main thing. You feel that I 'disappeared', because all the business I took had nothing to do with transaction activities. Without data, it's hard to say results, plus the business content is closed, and there is almost no intersection with the team... ..." He smiled, "So, the new colleagues who arrived this month may not even know me."
Sally Yinghua frowned slightly: "You took care of the work from P4 to P7 by yourself?"
Yu Cheng sneered, and didn't just say "yes" - this kind of thing, at worst, is a grabbing of eyebrows and beards, the division of labor is unclear, and the level of management of employees themselves is also a problem; But if you haven't experienced it, who will believe it?
Sa Yinghua was silent for a moment, as if he got the answer from Yu Cheng's expression.But he was not reconciled: "Don't communicate if there is no intersection? I remember that you are not a teamplayer?"
Yu Cheng is in a complicated mood: "Now is the situation: Shan Yongchang is theoretically my real-line boss, but the boss I serve at the same time, the manpower ownership weight is also greater, and it is Song He from the Feitian Technology Department. Most of the time, I'm all in Song He's team, and even if I return to women's clothing, I still have to deal with external partners." He paused, "I haven't had direct contact with Brother Chang for several months, and his assignments are all made by Yan Shen or Song The boss is here to send a message."
Sally Yinghua keenly grasped a point: "External? What partner?"
Yu Chenglue was worried: "The major operators in Hangzhou and Shanghai."
Sally Yinghua was thoughtful: "Has Charles agreed?"
Yu Cheng: "He approved it...Of course, I double checked with him and Boss Song separately on Shuahua."
Say Yinghua nodded, but didn't go into details.Turning around, I asked again: "You are P6, why didn't you bring someone with you?"
Yu Cheng smiled wryly: "The team is not manned enough."
Sa Yinghua frowned: "I see that your team has recruited more than a dozen new people in the past three months. Except for you, almost the entire old team has been replaced..." Yu Cheng was silent, and Sa Yinghua thought for a while, " Yan Shen, what is his main job?"
Yu Cheng paused slightly.Theoretically, these questions should not be asked of Saw Yinghua.He seemed to be able to figure out the real reason why Sa Yinghua came to him, but he still didn't dare to make mistakes, and said half-heartedly: "The situation is communicated across teams."
Sa Yinghua raised his eyebrows: "Then why did he report at the business meeting... By the way, come to think of it, it's mostly your work. You don't even have time to go to the meeting?" Yu Cheng smiled ambiguously and didn't answer, Sa Yinghua looked at him carefully, "In your industry, since the organizational structure in the intranet is inconsistent with the actual situation, what is the actual situation like?"
Yu Chengjing was silent, this question was within his expectation.He sorted out the team composition and division of labor that he knew, and explained it to Sally Yinghua.
Say Yinghua lit cigarettes one by one, and after listening silently, he suddenly asked directly: "What's the problem here?"
Yu Cheng paused.
Say Yinghua: "Since I've found you, don't worry about it. Say what you think."
By this time, Yu Cheng finally figured out the source of his "paradox" feeling.
First of all, for an old man like Sa Yinghua, who is in his forties, has a high EQ, and lives a healthy life, because of something—it’s okay to quit smoking, but he is so worried that he has changed from a non-smoker to a smoker—it must be due to encounters. What was the big deal? Secondly, the big thing was related to Yu Cheng's team. Finally, he was so worried that he went out low-key on the weekend, but he asked Yu Cheng to understand the management problems of his team...
All kinds of unreasonable synthesis point to an answer: women's clothing makes Sa Yinghua very upset.
Whether the crux of the distress is a person or a specific event, Yu Cheng can't guess randomly.But since it's a management question, his answers are more or less bound to reveal "people".
It's impossible for Sally Yinghua not to know, otherwise he wouldn't give him peace of mind.In other words, Sa Yinghua is now inviting Yu Cheng to "stand in line".
Yu Cheng's mind spins at the speed of light.
I have always heard that standing in line is a taboo in the workplace, and one wrong step can be a matter of life and death.In this regard, Yu Cheng stayed far away from even ordinary chats.He could pretend not to understand Saw Yinghua's "invitation" and continue to remain neutral.According to his understanding, Sa Yinghua is not the insidious type with a small belly, and he will have nothing to lose in the future.
On the contrary, if you stand on the team of Sally Yinghua - he and Sally Yinghua can only be regarded as "casual acquaintances".What's more, the other party has not disclosed any situation to him until now-can this be considered "cooperation"?
Standing in a team either wins or loses. If Sa Yinghua loses, Yu Cheng will never be spared—then he ruined his future because of a casual acquaintance.
What if he wins - Looking into Sa Yinghua's eyes, Yu Cheng immediately thought of another person, Gu Tianjiao.
He had no way to inquire about Gu Tianjiao's affairs.But judging from the vigorous performance of the wireless platform during this period, and the company's emphasis on the wireless business department, the upper management will definitely not make things difficult for this department.Since it is not the overall situation that needs to be liquidated, the remaining possibility is that Wu Hedong is messing with Gu Tianjiao.
He thought that Gu Tianjiao and Sa Yinghua were the same big boss.If I helped Sa Yinghua in this match, and assuming that Sa Yinghua won, could I ask him to help Gu Tianjiao?Didn't you hear that Sa Yinghua and Yang Yu have a good relationship?Maybe he can surpass Wu Hedong and help him at a higher level?
After all, there was no sound at all from Gu Tianjiao's end, and Yu Cheng couldn't exert any force.
Yu Cheng certainly understands how unreliable this kind of hope is.But talk is better than nothing.It's too late to find out why he wants to use his own future to put a long line for Gu Tianjiao that may only end in "hope", Yu Cheng has put away a safe distance.He nodded to Sa Yinghua: "Yan Shen is Shan Yongchang's own person."
Sally Yinghua: "I know that."
Yu Cheng: "He told me that Shan Yongchang and him are like brothers. At the beginning, he gave up double his salary and followed Shan Yongchang from Joyfull. Inspired by the lofty ambitions of the web'. But there is a paradox..."
Sa Yinghua's eyes did not flicker, and Yu Cheng continued: "Since we are brothers, even if Yan Shen regards money as dung, what about Shan Yongchang? How can he be willing to let his brothers lose so much? Based on the company's current salary, Yan Shen Gentleman has to be promoted at least two more levels before he can match his previous income-up two levels, he needs at least two years, right?"
Say Yinghua nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.
At this point, Yu Cheng simply put himself on the cutting board: "It was Yan Shen's suggestion that I established a cooperation model with the agent operator. Among them, the closest cooperation is their old club, Xifuhui— — as far as I know, other lines of business are similar.”
Sai Yinghua raised his eyebrows.
Yu Chengyun cleared his throat: "The several businesses I am in charge of, from the general development vision to the detailed implementation method in stages, and even more detailed, to the updated content of the month, the boss of Joyfullhui often takes the initiative to 'discuss' with me. I It’s okay if you approve, report, and get the execution confirmation letter from Shan Yongchang; if I don’t approve it, he finds nothing after talking with me. Usually, within a day or two, Shan Yongchang will ask Yan Shen to relay the new decision from him, order I implement it. And those so-called vertical market new decisions are exactly the same as the suggestions given to me by the CEO of Joyfull.”
Say Yinghua's eyes brightened, but he threw the ball back: "You mean, Shan Yongchang has an improper relationship with Xifuhui?"
Yu Cheng didn't dare to nod his head, and he didn't dare to say no: "In terms of resource exchange, the sum of the resources obtained by all other agency operations we cooperate with is equal to that obtained by the Xifuhui family. Many cooperations are Yan Shen's word of mouth" to let me Established with Xifuhui.”
Sally: "Is there any evidence?"
Yu Cheng thought for a while: "There are corresponding emails, screenshots of the page, and some chat records. I will organize them and hand them over to you as soon as possible."
Sa Yinghua glanced at Yu Cheng several times before looking at the night scene outside the windshield: "OK..." He smiled, "Yu Cheng, let's not mention anything else—I have a bunch of messes in my hand right now, so it's slow. Take it easy. The fiscal year is approaching, so pay attention to your annual performance.” Yu Cheng paused, and then said, “You know, right? Annual performance is not the weighted average of your previous Q (quarter) performance. It's your boss' final decision. Your current organizational structure is relatively complex, don't wait until the last minute to feel unfair. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yu Cheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for reminding me."
Sally Yinghua: "Today's talk, keep it a secret!"
Yu Cheng opened the door and got off the car: "Don't worry!"
Under the street lamp, Yu Cheng had half suspicious cloud and half dark cloud above his head, frowning as he watched Say Yinghua's car drive away.Suddenly the phone beeps.He subconsciously opened it, then paused.
In the Jinhua group, someone mentioned it cryptically again, saying: "It feels like the smell of changing the sky is getting stronger and stronger!"
Another person echoed: "During the earthquake, everyone should be careful!"
Then there is a series of expressions, some say "shh", "sweat", and "bad", but no one asked what happened.Yu Cheng suddenly dialed the number he had deleted long ago but remembered in his heart at a speed that he didn't understand.
After two beeps that pierced Yu Cheng's heartbeat, Gu Tianjiao's voice was as happy and calm as ever: "Aaron?"
Yu Cheng tried his best to catch his breath: "Brother, are you free? I want to talk to you about work."
Gu Tianjiao: "Are you at the company or at home?"
Yu Cheng: "You know that I work overtime?...Uh, at the gate of the community."
Gu Tianjiao: "Okay, wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, the night froze.Yu Cheng convinced himself that making an appointment is the right thing to do.See what you need to see, talk what you need to talk about, at least keep the information symmetrical.Otherwise, if he continues to avoid it like this, after April, if Gu Tianjiao is really no longer found on the intranet, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
What's more, just like Xie Zhixing's breakup line, he didn't want to break up with Gu Tianjiao.
Five minutes later, Gu Tianjiao's car slid to Yu Cheng's side silently. Yu Cheng was overjoyed, but felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.Then, Gu Tianjiao got out of the car, smiled at him and said "Hi", Yu Cheng looked at the thin blue sweater on his body, his heart, liver and lungs stretched and twisted into a lump, and his eyes ached from comfort.
Gu Tianjiao walked around the car and approached him. Yu Cheng heard himself giggling, calling "Brother", and then said: "Long time no see...how are you at home?"
Gu Tianjiao looked at him intently and said with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Cheng: "How is little girl?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Alright."
Yu Cheng nodded and laughed wildly, reminding like a galloping horse in his mind, "Talk about work, talk about work", but he blurted out: "Do you have any companions? I...see you go out to eat alone at noon...uh ..."
Gu Tianjiao said firmly: "No." He stared at Yu Cheng, "waiting."
When he said "waiting", Yu Cheng wasn't sure what he meant, but there was a moment of happiness and momentary disappointment in his heart, and then a lot of joy ups and downs, mixed with strands of strong loss.
He was stunned as if plunged into a dream, stepping on the cotton under his feet, and suddenly took a long mouthful of pure oxygen that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The hole in his chest that he had been used to for a long time seemed to be filled by something.Yu Cheng came back to his senses, only to realize that he was hugging Gu Tianjiao tightly.
Reason made him embarrassed, he quickly let go, took two steps back, and said with his tongue unsteadily: "Brother, this, this is, okay, long time no see..."
It's "Long time no see" again, the words are so poor!Yu Cheng looked around subconsciously, with nowhere to put his hands and feet.
But Gu Tianjiao was fine.When Yu Cheng lost his mind and hugged him, although he didn't respond in time, he didn't resist or even become stiff; when Yu Cheng regained his composure and let him go, he didn't hold back, and stood up naturally, and answered his words with a smile: "Yes ah."
Yu Cheng: "Okay, I..." He calmed down for a while, and looked at Gu Tianjiao again, "Brother, do you think this is good - I will raise all the dried plums from now on, of course, it is our common... child. "
Gu Tianjiao's smile faded and he didn't speak.
Yu Cheng looked down at the ground: "If... there is any inconvenience in the future, if you are tight, I can support you five thousand a month. Unless I am also fired at the same time... We, anyway, will always be, brothers..."
Gu Tianjiao looked at him calmly, but there was a look in his eyes that Yu Cheng had seen before.Weird, the meaning is difficult to understand.
So, Yu Cheng couldn't speak anymore, and the two of them just stood in the cold night wind.After an unknown amount of time, Gu Tianjiao laughed and said, "It's windy and dusty here, why don't we chat in another place?"
Yu Cheng: "Okay."
Gu Tianjiao: "It's not convenient for you, why don't you sit with me?"
The street lights reflected small bright spots in Gu Tianjiao's eyes, and Yu Cheng couldn't be more confused.When he came back to his senses, he had already tied it up on the co-pilot.
The smell in the car is fresh and the accessories are familiar.In an instant, Yu Cheng felt that old memories surrounded him, the only difference was that he no longer dared to look directly at the driver beside him.When he turned his attention to the scenery outside the window, Yu Cheng was stunned again—their car was driving on a completely unfamiliar road, and a few minutes later they drove into a completely unfamiliar neighborhood.
Yu Cheng's heart sank, he lacked confidence and asked, "Did you move?"
The corner of Gu Tianjiao's mouth turned up slightly, leading the car to pass through the main road of the community with excellent greenery: "Well, this is the 'Xianghu Gate'. I rented it in October last year."
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that when he left Gu Tianjiao's home in Crystal City, it would be a permanent farewell.
Gu Tianjiao: "It took more than two months to decorate, and we just moved here in mid-January."
He didn't mention why he moved, and Yu Cheng thought he knew the answer, but he didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't dare to ask.However, seeing the housing structure of the community along the way, he suddenly felt that what he said to Gu Tianjiao just now, "If money is tight in the future, I can support you", was simply a big joke.
The neighborhood is full of beautiful small trees with dark green embellished with new green, and independent small buildings with crimson glass roofs and light yellow walls stand quietly in it.Each small building has two units and two households. Each household has three floors above ground and one and a half floors of underground garages.Most of the neighborhood is dark, but those with lights on, from the opening and closing of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenes leaking out are all "the color of money".
In silence, they stopped in front of a small building with a lighted living room.Gu Tianjiao said: "Here we are. Our family lives here."
Yu Cheng absent-mindedly hummed, seeing Gu Tianjiao pressed the remote control, the pure white garage door opened, and then closed automatically behind them soon after.He followed Gu Tianjiao with complicated emotions, and went directly upstairs from the garage stairs into the living room.
The side door was pushed open, and Yu Cheng had never seen it before, but he felt very familiar with the warm decoration style.The yellowish overhead light illuminates the beige wall, and the sofa and coffee table are all old faces.In the huge space, the sound of music flows as always.Yu Cheng didn't dare to take a closer look, just after the door rang, a fat beige lightning flashed down the handrail on the second floor, pierced him, and saved him.
Yu Cheng: "Hey strong man! It's all right!" He hugged the extremely excited plum dried vegetable, scratched its short hair to calm it down, changed his shoes, and asked Gu Tianjiao who locked the door behind him, "Tingting is upstairs ?”
Gu Tianjiao: "No, come tomorrow."
Yu Cheng: "...Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Her mother has enrolled her in a lot of parent-child interaction interest classes, which are all piled up on Saturdays. Starting this month, the visiting days will be shortened to Sundays."
Yu Cheng frowned, Gu Tianjiao still greeted Yu Cheng as if nothing happened, poured him a glass of water, then called away dried plums and poured dog food for him, busy back and forth, saying: "I see you, don't you?" Too tired from work? I feel much paler."
Yu Cheng was embarrassed, and Gu Tianjiao said again: "Put your bag anywhere! Didn't you eat? I'll make you something to eat!"
Yu Cheng: "No trouble, brother... I, I'll leave after chatting with you."
Gu Tianjiao poured himself a glass of water, sat down and said, "Okay, let's talk!"
Yu Cheng: "..."
Looking at Gu Tianjiao's focused eyes, for some reason, Yu Cheng only had enough strength to open his mouth a few times.
It wasn't until after the meal that the dried plums were uncharacteristically lively again, Yu Cheng rubbed the big dog that was stomping on his lap, and hesitantly asked a question: "I rented this house last October, and I spent energy on decorating it, why? ah?"
Gu Tianjiao said frankly: "Didn't we recruit packing workers for the elephant last September, and we were surrounded by a group of 'quasi-acquaintances'? You are afraid of exposing your relationship, and you don't want to live in hiding after work-from that day on, I will Looking for a new place. As you can see here, it is about ten kilometers away from the company. The location is remote, full of double-detached townhouses, and the rough monthly rent is only [-]—the company’s pragmatic people don’t live here.”
Yu Cheng's heart was full of emotions, Gu Tianjiao went on to say: "It would be easy to rent a hardcover house, but this kind of house, the landlord will pretend to be extravagant. I have seen a few sets, and I don't think you will like it. Here is my I found someone to design it according to your preferences, as a birthday surprise for you. There is a room that also combines your mother's taste, and I have changed several drafts!"
Yu Cheng's viscera were almost crushed, he threw away the dried plums, held back for a long time, and forced a smile and said: "You must...the intestines are regretful..."
Gu Tianjiao smiled and didn't answer.Waiting for Yu Cheng to calm down, he stood up, raised his chin and encouraged Yu Cheng: "Go, go up and have a look!"
Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but shook his head without moving.Gu Tianjiao: "How stupid to just sit! Didn't you want to talk to me about business?"
Yu Cheng: "Here you can..."
Gu Tianjiao went upstairs by himself: "Come on!"
Yu Cheng: "..."
Meigancai ran away with Gu Tianjiao.Yu Cheng originally wanted to stick to staying in the living room, but he had thoughts, but he didn't have the guts to appreciate the layout of the room, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.For a moment he wanted to leave quietly through the main entrance, but the moment he stood up, his dog-like legs automatically pushed him upstairs.
Following Gu Tianjiao's voice to the third floor, Yu Cheng glanced up.Half of the third floor is a fully transparent sunny greenhouse, and the other half is a mysterious room with thick wooden doors.
Gu Tianjiao stood in front of the door and beckoned Yu Cheng to come in, and shut the door with dried plums and vegetables.
Yu Cheng: "This is..."
Behind the mysterious wooden door is a small gym that is ventilated on three sides.It is about fifty square meters in size, with a mirror wall and poles on all four walls. Half of the floor is covered with wooden floors, and the other half is equipped with shock-absorbing carpets.However, there are only a few small props in the corner of the equipment, which are basically their original indoor fitness gadgets.
Gu Tianjiao stuffed a pair of bright red things into his hand and said, "Put it on."
Yu Cheng looked away: "Boxing gloves?"
Gu Tianjiao didn't explain, and skillfully helped him put it on, and then used his teeth to help him put on a pair of black ones for himself: "I just bought it online, not professional. We just play for fun, not professional."
Yu Cheng was dumbfounded: "Huh? But bro..."
Gu Tianjiao pulled him to the center of the room, kicked off the slippers, and smiled with encouragement and orders: "What's the matter, let's talk while playing!"
Yu Cheng: "I won't..."
Gu Tianjiao: "I don't know how, so there are no rules, and you can fight as you want. Let's start!"
Yu Cheng: "Then how can we talk..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a pair of black fists approaching, and with a "bang", Yu Cheng staggered.He reacted with a slap on the face.
Yu Cheng felt cold all over, and felt that something was broken.
