The stand-in is just for fun, the sponsor is serious

Chapter 57
In just two days, so many things happened, Gu Zhao felt like he was in a dream.

The cell phone rang suddenly in the silent car, and Gu Zhao was so scared that he almost threw it out. As soon as he saw the name of the caller, he pressed the hang up button faster than his brain, and waited for the phone to stop ringing. Only then did he react——

He actually refused Cheng Xiyu's call! ! !

He said silently in his heart: I didn't do it on purpose... I didn't do it on purpose
Fearing that Cheng Xiyu would call again, he turned around and called Xiang Jiamu.
The cell phone rang for a while before being answered.
"Hey..." He slumped in the driver's seat and said weakly to the other end of the phone: "Mu, Brother Yu is really a sinner..."

Gu Zhao blurted out that this was his true thought. If it wasn't for the fact that he had done too many crimes in his previous life, how could he be so miserable in this life?Everything about catching horses happened to him.

No one is born ruthless.With such a pair of serious and indifferent parents, distorted family relationship, and bearing two lives for no reason, now even Jiang Shu, who once loved him so much, has left him.

Gu Zhao couldn't help thinking - what would happen if he were Cheng Xiyu?He doesn't have such a strong heart, nor does he have Cheng Xiyu's ability and talent, so he probably can only stay silent...

Xiang Jiamu: "..."

"What's wrong?" The light in the study room was not too bright, and Xiang Jiamu was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and there was a thick script on the desk, with some points marked with red pens that needed to be rectified. He looked at a certain place in the script, holding the mobile phone in one hand, and gently turning the pen in his hand with the other.

"..." Gu Zhao looked at the dark outside through the front glass in silence: "...I suddenly felt—" He suddenly paused and took a deep breath: "Come out and have a drink or two." ?”

Gu Jia felt very uncomfortable.

If other people know about it, they may find it very strange, this is obviously Cheng Xiyu's business, why are you so sad?Brothers don't have to feel the same way, do they?

Gu Jia doesn't think so.He always remembered that 8-year-old Cheng Xiyu was punished by Cheng's mother to kneel in the snow on the winter solstice when it was snowing heavily, with a half-built snowman beside him.

What little Cheng Xiyu didn't think of at the time was that he kept begging this beautiful brother, who was one year older than him, to come out and play with him...

When he was in school, he was stupid and would often be bullied by some young masters. Xiang Jiamu was gentle and didn't notice these small frictions. It was Cheng Xiyu who silently blocked those people in a small alley and beat him up once.

From then on, he stalked Cheng Xiyu as a little follower. On the surface, Cheng Xiyu disliked him very much, but Gu Zhao never suffered any bullying since then.

A gust of wind blew, and the few leaves on the sycamore tree that resisted stubbornly finally fell down. Gu Zhao felt that his mood was just like the sycamore leaves, and kept falling.

"What happened?" Xiang Jiamu heard something was wrong with him, and Gu Zhao over there didn't speak for a long time——

Xiang Jiamu: "Gu Er?"

"...It's nothing, you've been very busy recently..." Gu Zhao calmed down a bit, and after he finished saying that, he remembered that Xiang Jiamu's work and rest had always been very regular, and there were no special circumstances. He is not happy to go out after 9:[-].Gu Zhao just wanted to say: It's okay if you don't come out, it's not a big deal.
"Come to my house," Xiang Jiamu said, and he looked at the time: "If you want to drink, come to my house to drink with you?" He asked.

Gu Si's drinking capacity is not very good, and Xiang Jiamu was worried that he would pass out drunk outside.

"Oh." Gu Zhao rubbed his eyes and said in a sullen tone, "Okay."

Gu Zhao drove there, and when he arrived, Xiang Jiamu was sitting on the balcony of the living room waiting for him, with a few bottles of low-alcohol wine on the window sill.

"Aren't uncle and aunt home?" Gu Zhao looked around, but didn't see a third person.

Xiang Jiamu put down the script in his hand, feeling his eyes were extremely dry, and stretched out his hand to pinch the top of the bridge of his nose: "No, I went to inspect the branch office two days ago, and I haven't come back yet."

"Oh oh oh," he said

Sitting opposite him, Gu Zhao didn't mention drinking anymore. He leaned back, paralyzed himself into a capitalized "person", looked sideways at the thick books on the small table, white There was nothing on the cover, and Gu Bao couldn't see anything, so he asked casually, "This is your new book? Why doesn't it have a name?"

"It's been written a long time ago. This is the script model printed by the crew. Let me see if there is anything that needs to be changed." He reached out and rubbed the side of the book unconsciously.

Gu Zhao remembered that he had just sold the copyright of a book and was about to prepare for shooting soon: "Oh, yes, I remembered, that's the one..." He searched in his mind for a while and said : "What is it called "Lovesickness in the North", right?"

"..." Xiang Jiamu was silent for a while for some reason, and seemed to be smiling slightly, his eyes were a little soft: "Yeah."

He didn't want to say much, and looked at the absent-minded Gu Bao on the opposite side: "Didn't you come to drink?" He didn't ask Gu Zhao what happened, if he wanted to talk, he would take the initiative to say so.

"...It's boring for me to drink too much by myself," Gu Zhao felt a little embarrassed: "Also, drinking at home doesn't feel like much atmosphere..."

"Then I'll find you a band? How about some backup dancers?" Xiang Jiamu said seriously.

Gu Zhao: "......then there is no need to..."

Xiang Jiamu stopped teasing him, got up halfway and picked up a bottle of red wine on the window sill, and took out two glasses from the cabinet next to the wall: "Am I not human?"

"Don't you like drinking..." Gu Zhao's face was a little surprised. He told Jiamu to drink with him on the phone just now, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he is a person who rarely drinks in private .

"It's not that I can't drink if I don't like it." Xiang Jiamu gave the two of them drinks, and one of the glasses was passed to Gu Jia who was on the opposite side.

Gu Zhao's drinking capacity is really bad, and he feels a little dizzy after one drink: "I...I have to drink one more..." He got up and wanted to get the red wine bottle from Jiamu, but he didn't get it.
"Stop drinking, no one will help you to the bedroom when you get drunk for a while." Xiang Jiamu said.

"..." He sat down again aggrieved, the wine was really high, Gu Zhao's emotions that had not subsided just now were surging again, he couldn't help but poured the empty glass into his mouth Pour: "Don't you even ask me..."

Xiang Jiamu looked at the eager and downcast expression on his face, and said obediently, "Can you say it?"

"It should be possible..."

It doesn’t matter if you tell Mu Mu, anyway, you will know sooner or later, one more person will give you more power, Mu Mu writes novels, and he has a big brain, maybe there is any way to help Bing Cuanyu,
"...Little sister-in-law broke up with brother Yu..." Looking at Xiang Jiamu's obviously stunned expression, he felt strangely better,

"Part... broke up?" He asked uncertainly.

As if being hit hard with a sap, Xiang Jiamu felt dizzy and didn't know how to react for a while. , he knew such a day would come, but he didn't know it would be so soon.

"Yes, and my sister-in-law moved out without telling Brother Yu," Gu Zhao continued, "And... today my sister-in-law said...", as if he didn't know how to speak, he said dryly: "Say... I don't like it." Pass... Brother Yoo,"

"…………"

He was silent for a while before speaking: "Did she say that?"

"Yes! Isn't it incredible!" Gu Zhao whispered, "When I heard it, I was as shocked as you..."

Xiang Jiamu didn't refute, just smiled, unknowingly finished a glass of red wine, and looked out the window with some serious eyes for a little light.

inside the army.

The unexpected discussion about the price of Cheng's military industry to supply the national army collapsed.

Last time, the price that Cheng's father negotiated with those in power was flatly denied by the secretary from above, who wanted to push the price down even further.
This secretary had just been promoted to the Nanshi Military Headquarters, and the new official took office three times. He wanted to get some credit, so he focused his attention on this cooperation. Little did he know that although Shengjing owned a part of Cheng's military industry, there was still Part of it is above, and the price is the result of negotiation between several parties.Did he think he was buying vegetables at the vegetable market?Can also negotiate prices.

This secretary was transferred from a civilian job, and he didn't understand anything, and everyone didn't bother to talk to him, but there was a procedure without his stamp, so it was really hard to pass, so it was delayed for a few days, until the people above heard the reaction, and then A contract is signed only when a person is sent down.

The new minister, Chen Nian, had been working with the [-]B secretary for a few days, and his face was quite tired. Finally, he was relieved when he finally got the reply from above: "Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry this time. No one really thought of this situation," he sighed, "President Cheng and the old minister, don't be angry, just bear with us..."

It was a good talk, and they are all from my own family, and they are all from the army. What a pleasant cooperation, if this secretary who doesn't know where and who has no eyesight is messed up like this, if Cheng gets angry and disagrees They cooperated, which is also excusable. After all, they violated the rules and turned back on their promises. However, the new head of the Cheng family didn't pay attention to the secretary during the whole process, and directly reported an email to the above. He didn't deliberately embarrass them either, as expected of the youngest major general - a man with a strategy and a heart.

"It's nothing, Minister Chen is too worried." Cheng Xiyu said calmly.

Hearing what he said, Minister Chen was relieved. He hesitated for a while, and asked from the side: "...I heard that Cheng will reduce the production of arms in the second half of the year?"

Cheng Xiyu glanced at him, as if he had seen through what he was thinking: "The specifics still depend on the above, but—" He paused: "Cheng doesn't bother to do things that deliberately raise prices. Minister, don't worry."

"Ah, haha, Mr. Cheng, I see what you said." Chen Nian smiled, and said seriously: "You can rest assured of Mr. Cheng's words." He stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Cheng Xiyu said.

…………

Cheng Xiyu, who was busy these two days, didn't even look at his mobile phone. Of course, there were reasons why he didn't want to look at it. As for why he didn't want to look at it, he couldn't explain it himself.

Wang was also driving ahead.Cheng Xiyu looked at the phone and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he turned on the phone - Jiang Shu didn't contact him.

The WeChat page and communication records are all kept from two days ago.

Gu Zhao has always been an uncontrollable temper, and he didn't even tell him about Jiang Shu's situation, Cheng Xiyu was very upset.

The long-lost panic and uncontrollable emotions surged, and Cheng Xiyu couldn't wait to return to the Central Mansion.
There are still two or three hours, when Xiaoshu is off work, he can see her as soon as he gets home.

Nanshi is very big, and the temperature in the north is still in the state of late autumn.The city center has entered winter.After getting off the car, he told Wang Ye to go home and rest first.

The air is mixed with the breath of winter, the cold air is overwhelming, and there is a sense of loneliness...

Cheng Xiyu walked into the elevator and waited quietly for the elevator to continue to rise. The bright elevator lights shone on half of his face, outlining the fascinating facial lines.

"Ding" sound.

The elevator door opened slowly, and when he reached the door, Cheng Xiyu took a deep breath, and without knocking, he reached out to enter the password,
"Password entered successfully", as if a restriction had been opened, Cheng Xiyu's hand that pushed the door hesitated for a moment, and then pushed it away——

There was darkness in his eyes, and bursts of coldness came to his face, and the silence made him feel a little flustered,

Did Jiang Shu not turn on the heater?Isn't she the most afraid of the cold...

He turned on the light in the living room, it was still familiar, no different from the day he left, Cheng Xiyu walked in, and stopped suddenly when he reached the bedroom——

He stood there quietly, tried to breathe lightly, and gently opened the door——

He walked in slowly, with an expression on his face that became paler and colder in the bedroom. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to that winter solstice...

Cheng Xiyu opened the closet expressionlessly.This is a built-in closet with a lot of space. The clothes he brought are getting better and better, accounting for almost half of it. The other half are Jiang Shu's clothes, which are all the new season's products and gifts sent by him. A few pieces of clothes brought by Jiang Shu herself.

Now it doesn't look much different from the previous few days, but the clothes that Jiang Shu brought are gone,
Cheng Xiyu's face became paler and paler, almost chilling,

He turned around and went to the kitchen. There were several sets of cups neatly placed in the glass cabinet. There were only two lonely glass jars on the middle layer. They were clean and transparent, and the strawberry wine inside was gone.
He still remembered how Jiang Shu was making strawberry wine in the afterglow of the setting sun that day. She was serious and pious. She was too involved to realize that he had come in.So, frightened, she accidentally broke the glass jar in her hand, and the strawberry wine was scattered all over the floor, rosy and translucent, exuding the fragrance of strawberries.

That day, Jiang Shu, the little lover, had a temper tantrum with him again.

Strawberry wine is gone, books are gone, Jiang Shu... is gone
Only he is still...

Cheng Xiyu suddenly discovered that Jiang Shu's things were really few, so few that she came or left - the things in this house didn't change too much.

It is clear that the changes are great, it is too quiet...

It was so quiet that Cheng Xiyu found it unbearable, like the snowflakes that kept falling silently during the winter solstice that year.
