Chapter 47

Knowing that Yan Ruizhi was thin-skinned, He Nian tentatively said after a few more coaxing words: "Then I'll hang up first, Mr. Yan, go to bed early."

Yan Ruizhi said in his heart that you only know how to say this now, but now you really can't hold back your face, and it took a long time before you said "um".

But the other party didn't mind, the voice hadn't recovered from the lingering rhyme just now, and there was a smile in his tone: "Then can I say good night today?"

The ghost knows if it will be safe tonight.

Yan Ruizhi still felt hot on his face, and said impatiently: "Sleep by yourself, don't make noise."

In exchange, the other party muttered "Oh".

This time he finally didn't soften his heart, and hung up the phone without waiting for other reactions from the other end.

Yan Ruizhi took a shower again and lay back on the bed, and forced himself not to look at his phone before falling asleep again.

It was Wednesday when He Nian and Hao Shuai left. According to the planned itinerary, they should come back at noon on Monday.

However, when dealing with employees returning from business trips, the company has always defaulted to not mandatory attendance on the day of the return trip, leaving everyone to rest or jet lag.

It's just that this weekend Yan Ruizhi has been really long, and it's rare for him to indulge himself not to get up early on Saturday, but his biological clock still wakes him up on time.

Not only did I wake up on time, but when I opened my eyes, it was the long phone call from the previous night.

Yan Ruizhi used to think that sex was dispensable, but he didn't expect to think about some weird things in broad daylight after being an adult for so long.

He sat up sullenly, lay down again after thinking for a while, and covered his face with the quilt.

It's... so weird.

In the end, I didn't sleep well and didn't do anything serious.

Yan Ruizhi scolded himself in his heart for being misled by Lunar New Year, while forcing himself to shift his attention to other places, and then he simply started working overtime with some dark circles under his eyes.

The previous two projects are running normally and smoothly, which is much better than the previous busy one. Yan Ruizhi is not in such a hurry. Although he went to Beijing Bank to discuss the issue of a release, he only confirmed the cooperation intention, and there is no new project on his side. The case of the work remains as it is for the time being.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruizhi has always felt a little strange. It stands to reason that they are all businessmen, and the other party is still a businessman with huge financial support behind them. Usually, a project is developed until the middle stage before discussing related matters. project" approach is really puzzling.

The other party has no shortage of cooperative companies, so why would they throw an olive branch at themselves?

And there is more than one thing that can't be figured out like this. Before Zhou Hongsheng boasted that he went to Haikou to promote his new work, and he generously said that he would cooperate with Jingxing. The encounter between himself and Hao Shuai also proved this point.But the direction suddenly changed later, the cooperation was terminated for unknown internal reasons, a huge amount of capital was lost, and the 3A that I vowed to do had no sound.

Yan Ruizhi remembered what He Nian had told him about the personnel changes in Beijing Bank.

Could it really have something to do with the "top leader" he said?

Unable to guess the logic, how could the other party be sure that Youyu's next project would be suitable for them, and how could they quietly choose to divest when Zhou Hongsheng had already released the news?

I don’t know if it’s because He Nian mentioned it several times in front of him, or because of Hao Shuai’s nonsense before. Yan Ruizhi, who had no interest in the business empire family, unexpectedly searched and entered “He Ruiyang” at dusk. three words.

When he hit enter, he thought, he really thought too much.

Thousands of messages popped up, and the encyclopedia of characters was quite detailed. From his background to his life experience, and his family history, he was written in extreme detail. It was said that he had a prominent family background, unique vision, his wife was a low-key musician, and they had a son. .

The news about the family stops here.

It can be seen that He Ruiyang loves and protects the child, and there is indeed no news on the surface.

Yan Ruizhi frowned and closed the search engine.

Although he didn't know the news about this mysterious noble son, because He Nian and Hao Shuai had mentioned it several times, he couldn't help but have some guesses.

Maybe he is indeed a pampered person, Yan Ruizhi thought, since He Nian can be praised so much, he should be very good.

But when he changed his mind, he thought of New Year greetings.

The t-shirts worn by each other when the two meet, the tutoring that continues even though they know their employer has other intentions, the seepage and damp family building...

The same surname, but such a completely different life.

But even so, Yan Ruizhi looked at the setting sun and thought, He Nian is good enough, not inferior to that mysterious young man whose name he doesn't even know.

Although this person sometimes has a bad brain and a thick skin, Yan Ruizhi still believes in his own vision.

Otherwise, even if he was not sober on the day of his business trip, it would be impossible for him to really kiss her.

Just thinking about it, the phone placed on the table vibrated.

He Nian said good morning to him before going out today, and sent him a picture of the sunrise.

Looking at the background, his new room should be on the top floor, with good lighting. Yan Ruizhi originally wanted to ask questions about accommodation and life in the past few days, but he always felt that he was busy. Fortunately, the picture can be seen, the other party should live Not bad.

[Reasonable: Mr. Yan! ! ! ! ! 】

After a series of exclamation marks, Yan Ruizhi didn't rush to reply, and waited for the New Year's greetings to continue sending.

[Reasonable: I'm on fire here! ! ! 】

Yan Rui was surprised, but before he dialed the number, the other party sent another message within a second.

[Reasonable: I think you're thinking like a ghost! ! 】

Yan Ruizhi: "..."

Without saying a word, he dragged He Nian into the blacklist cleanly.

About 2 minutes later, the person on the other side probably realized something, Yan Ruizhi's cell phone buzzed again, this time it was a phone call.

With a sullen face, he hung up directly.

Just now he thought he had good eyesight, but now that he thinks about it, he might be blind.

When He Nian made the third call, he felt panicked, so he answered it with annoyance.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry!" He Nian's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and he began to apologize desperately, "Boss, please say something!"

Yan Ruizhi didn't bother to listen to what he had to say.

"I just want to tease you! Add a little color to your weekend!" The New Year greetings are full of sincerity, "And you see, I sent the last one and immediately accepted the next one, preventing you from worrying about me because of misunderstanding!"

Yan Ruizhi pursed his lips and let out a breath.

He has no interest in this outrageous amusement.

He Nian caught this small voice, and began to call him obediently again: "Mr. Yan? Mr. Yan?"

"I really miss you, don't think I'm naive..."

"It's not childish, it's mentally handicapped." Yan Ruizhi interrupted coldly.

"I think you must be working today. Although I'm bored, at least at that moment, you can think about something else."

He Nian spoke pitifully, but just as Yan Ruizhi was about to slow down, he heard him finish the second half of the sentence: "...For example, me."

But Yan Ruizhi will never admit that he really thought about it just now, so he didn't respond.

"When you get angry later, can you release me from the blacklist?" He Nian asked cautiously, "I won't do this next time."

"I'll keep you safe tomorrow." Yan Ruizhi inexplicably felt that He Nian should be hanging his head now, "I just saw a friend from the Literature Club post it, and I couldn't hold it back so I sent it to you too. I didn't mean to ask you to worry about me."

Yan Ruizhi almost wanted to grit his teeth: "...that's all you learned about literature appreciation?"

He Nian didn't dare to argue: "Yeah, not all."

On the one hand, he felt that He Nian was sometimes too evasive, but the other party behaved like this, and in the end he couldn't get angry.

"If you're really angry, anyway, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. If you can't get angry then, you can take it out on me." He Nian said flatteringly as he counted the days.

Only then did Yan Ruizhi come to his senses, realizing that it was unnecessary for him to care about this fact with He Nian.

He changed his tone: "Didn't you arrive at noon on Monday?"

According to Hao Shuai's temper and habits, his family must pick him up at the airport and go back to rest for a long time, and the company will definitely not come.

Sure enough, He Nian continued: "Boss Hao said, two cars will come to pick us up when the time comes, he will go home, and I will go back to the company."

Yan Ruizhi frowned slightly: "It's only half a day, don't come here, go home and have a good sleep."

He said this to give He Nian a rest for half a day, but the other party was quiet for a while after hearing it, and didn't speak.

"how……"

Before he finished speaking, He Nian spoke, as if begging: "Just let me come over."

"I don't want to rest that much, I just want to see you soon."

"I will definitely not interfere with your work," He Nian quickly assured, "Just like before, I'll be fine in the cubicle!"

Yan Ruizhi blinked lightly, and after a long while, he said "Oh" in a daze.

After He Nian chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, he slowly realized.

He often thinks that he can't even be regarded as a normal person, why He Nian will always maintain enthusiasm, even if he knows part of the past, it hasn't faded in the slightest.

Yan Ruizhi always felt like a person who had won the jackpot. On the one hand, he felt unbelievable that such good luck could fall on his head, and on the other hand, he began to panic and worry, for fear that it was really a dream and would really disappear.

But no matter what, he still fell into it.

He will be back the day after the New Year's Eve, what kind of expression should he face?

What do you want to say?

What to do?

Yan Ruizhi understands that no matter how much he thinks about it, there is no conclusion. It is the first time to maintain a relationship that he cannot hold, the first time to push the initiative of this matter, and the first time to try to make a dream that may come true.

That's it, he thought.

At least for the moment it is satisfying.

Yan Ruizhi thought that he would be distracted in the morning meeting on Monday, or that he might be negligent in his work.

As a result, there were no mistakes or omissions in work and life. He even listened carefully to all the reports of each department in the morning meeting, asked questions one by one with no expression on his face, and then released him after improvement. One morning meeting lasted for more than three hours. , when the last PM left the conference room, his face was green.

After all, Liang Xiaoyou had been with him for a long time, and he felt that a storm was coming, and the atmosphere in the whole company became serious, for fear that the boss would suddenly attack him.

The big boss made people feel like a chill, and everyone began to miss the second boss who was friendly and unassuming.

After all, without his mediation, the company's atmosphere would probably be much colder than it is now.

Then the employees were overjoyed, that's right, the second boss is back today!

Although Hao Shuai probably didn't show his face today, everyone has already started singing gratitude in their hearts.

Because the meeting time was too long, it was almost noon when everyone came out. Yan Ruizhi sat in the office for a while, and Liang Xiaoyou knocked on the door respectfully and came in, asking if he would like to prepare lunch for him.

As soon as he nodded casually, his movements froze slightly.

Liang Xiaoyou thought he had something to explain: "Is there any question, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Ruizhi raised his head slightly.

Will the New Year really come?

Or was the flight too tiring for Hao Shuai to send the driver home?

If he wants to come, do I have to prepare a copy for him?

After all, he didn't know if He Nian could get used to airplane meals.

Yan Ruizhi was a little dazed about his own thoughts, and he was afraid that Liang Xiaoyou would wait for a long time to see the clues, so he asked her to prepare another hearty meal with a sullen face.

Liang Xiaoyou responded, and noticed the expression of his boss, he didn't dare to neglect, he went to the mall to pack two exquisite ones, and returned to the company without stopping.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator and wanted to go straight to Yan Ruizhi's office, he saw an unfamiliar man push the door and walk in.

She was taken aback, and quickly pulled a colleague beside her and asked, "Who is the person who just walked in? Does he seem to be very familiar with Mr. Yan?"

"I don't know him, but just now the front desk called to ask, and he said that he was a classmate named Zhou who claimed to be Mr. Yan."

"I heard that Mr. Yan was quiet for a while, and he didn't say anything, so he asked someone to come up by himself."

Liang Xiaoyou held two exquisite lunches in his arms, hesitating whether to send them in now.

Maybe Mr. Yan asked to buy two copies because this person came to see him?But if they were talking about serious business, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to go in now.

She didn't dare to go far, but she didn't get too close. She stood at the door of the office and waited.

In the room, Yan Ruizhi finally raised his eyes and looked indifferently at the person who came.

Compared with before, Zhou Hongsheng lost his confidence and high spirits, but he still dressed exquisitely and meticulously from head to toe.

"Sharp--"

His voice also lost the arrogance he had previously understated, but became a little more familiar.

"It's not working time now, I don't know why you came to me."

"I know I won't be able to get in touch with you alone, so I can only come to your company in person." Zhou Hongsheng smiled decently, "I won't go around the bush anymore. I really want to find you for something."

"I heard before that you have cooperation with Beijing Bank, but the project has not yet been decided..."

"Ruizhi." Even though he didn't get a response, Zhou Hongsheng continued without embarrassment, "I know, I was sorry for you in the past."

"If you came today to apologize, you don't have to." Yan Ruizhi finally opened his mouth with ice grains in his voice.

Zhou Hongsheng gave an apologetic laugh, and continued to talk about his own affairs: "I had a big plan before, and basically it was listed, a large-scale project with high precision. Now you have not decided on the project with Jingxing, why don't you take it over and cooperate together. You can talk about the proportion, how about it?"

Yan Ruizhi stared at him, and suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth.

"You are exactly the same as before."

"Ruizhi, I know you're angry with me, but to be honest, isn't that all my own originality behind that project?" Zhou Hongsheng couldn't help but said, "It was precisely because of my changes that it was successful. ,Is not it?"

As if he knew that Yan Ruizhi didn't like to talk about this topic again, he said slowly: "Besides, I took good care of you back then."

"We were all wrong in the past, but now everyone has achieved their own achievements, and the immediate interests are the most important, isn't it?" He smiled, "You know the trade-offs—"

"boom!"

The sound of ceramics shattering suddenly rang in his ears.

Yan Ruizhi didn't stand up, but threw the things on the table viciously.

Zhou Hongsheng was taken aback. Seeing the teacup falling beside him, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Zhou Hongsheng," Yan Ruizhi looked at him, with no anger in his expression, "you say, we are all at fault."

"Then you have the ability to tell me," he said clearly, "what's wrong with me?"

"My mistake was that I didn't pursue what you stole from me, my mistake was that I thought you were a friend, my mistake was..."

Yan Ruizhi's voice paused: "I'm cowardly, I don't know people clearly."

Zhou Hongsheng still looked at him in astonishment, as if he didn't expect that one day he would harden himself and get angry at himself.

"You just said that I am exactly the same as before."

Yan Ruizhi stood up and looked down at him, half of his face was shadowed, and said lightly: "But I think I am different."

"Everything I own doesn't belong to you, and the funds you want are impossible. Even if I don't have a project and cancel the cooperation with them, you don't even want to touch a finger." His chest undulated slightly, his face His expression didn't change.

"The biggest mistake I made back then was trusting you."

"We broke up badly back then, and I haven't had time to say goodbye to you." Yan Ruizhi's eyes did not fluctuate, as if he would never recall the past again, "Then let me add something now."

"Zhou Hongsheng, get out of my life."

After Zhou Hongsheng left for 10 minutes, Liang Xiaoyou knocked on the door cautiously and came in.

She was far away and didn't hear the argument, but heard the sound of the glass breaking.

She didn't dare to ask more questions, put her head down and put the lunch she bought on the table, and after confirming that Yan Ruizhi had no other requests, she turned and left.

But just as she returned to her work station tremblingly, she finally saw another somewhat familiar figure.

The tall boy looked like he was in a rush, and he walked fast, with a schoolbag on his back. He smiled at her and walked straight in.

"Hey--"

Before Liang Xiaoyou could say "Xiao He", the other party was so anxious that he didn't even listen, and directly knocked on the door of the office just now.

The other party walked too fast, and Liang Xiaoyou didn't even remind him that Boss Yan didn't seem very happy today, and he couldn't say anything about what happened to him just now.

She could only open her mouth and watch He Nian pull down the doorknob, push the door open and walk in.

"Mr. Yan!"

Just as He Nian closed the door, he said impatiently to the person in the middle: "I'm back!"

Then, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he threw the schoolbag and rushed over.

Before Yan Ruizhi could speak, He Nian hugged him with a chair.

With a little fresh smell on his body, he was panting slightly.

Yan Ruizhi remembered the New Year's flight, calculated the time, even if it was on time, it must be non-stop to appear here now.

He Nian cared about hugging him, but he wanted to make an inch of it, and buried his head deeper.

Feeling the soft hair of the other party rubbing against him, Yan Ruizhi finally reached out to touch it.

"Why didn't you go back to rest?"

"I can't sleep without seeing you." He Nian was still straightforward, "I'm finally back."

I can't tell the specific feeling, the weather is very pleasant today, but Yan Ruizhi has the illusion of being slowly melted by the sunlight outside the window.

The previous emotions gradually eased, and he was glad that he didn't talk too much with Zhou Hongsheng, and didn't let He Nian meet.

He rubbed the other person's hair: "Do you want lunch? I bought it for you."

"I'm not hungry."

He Nian was still holding him, and suddenly looked aside curiously, and called him, "Mr. Yan."

"Ok?"

His eyes fell on the ceramic piece on the ground: "Why did you drop the cup?"

Yan Rui was taken aback, and said, "I was not careful just now."

Seeing that He Nian was about to clean up for him, Yan Ruizhi held him back and did not let him go: "I'll do it myself later, don't scratch your hands."

He Nian obediently didn't move any more, and even changed his posture, leaning half on Yan Ruizhi's body, and hugged him again.

Obviously the one who threw the cup was himself, but Yan Ruizhi felt as if he was being coaxed by the New Year.

He Nian gently embraced him, resting his head on his shoulder, and patted his back lightly.

"Okay, okay," He Nian said with a smile, "It's just a cup, just let me hug it."
