Lin Shilang Gu

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Gu Yanqiu clenched the fountain pen in his hand, it was Thursday today.

Lin Zhi replied, "Didn't you ignore me at that time except for work? I forgot to say it."

Gu Yanqiu: "...Okay, you can go back."

Lin Zhi was surprised: "That's it?" He thought that Gu Yanqiu had to take a lot of preparations. The last time he went to give a gift, Gu Yanqiu had specially bought new clothes, and now he just let it go?

Gu Yanqiu raised his head, looked at him inexplicably, and said, "Otherwise what else?"

"It's nothing, nothing." The boss couldn't measure his heart, so Lin Zhi bowed down and went out.

"I'm off work, goodbye Mr. Gu." At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zhi got off work half an hour later than his colleague and came over to say goodbye to Gu Yanqiu, but saw Gu Yanqiu, who used to sit behind his desk, stand up and put his bag in the bag beside him. Putting down the information, it looked like he was about to get off work.

"Goodbye." Gu Yanqiu glanced at him.

Lin Zhi: "Are you going to get off work?"

Gu Yanqiu said "um".

A smile appeared on Lin Zhi's face, and he knew that Gu Yanqiu would not be so casual.

Lin Zhi stood at the door and said, "Then I'll wait for you for a while."

Gu Yanqiu did not refuse.

Gu Yanqiu put the bag on his shoulder and locked the door of the office. Lin Zhi went out with her. One elevator went to the first floor and the other went to the first floor. Lin Zhi went out on the first floor and clenched his fists at Gu Yanqiu. With a gesture, Gu Yanqiu lightly hooked his lower lip, continued down, and drove away from the company building.

She got off work earlier than usual, but instead of going to buy new clothes to see Lin Yuewei, she went back to Gu's house.

It's summer, it's getting darker and darker, and a half-round sunset hangs in the sky, like a cloud of fire. Gu's house is located where the sun sets, exuding a deep twilight.

If it is not necessary, or if Gu Huai calls her, Gu Yanqiu will not take the initiative to come to Gu's house. Lin Yuewei had been gone for nearly three months, except for the time when the two of them came together, this was the second time.

Gu Yanqiu stepped into the door, all the lights in the living room were on, Gu Huai sat on the sofa in the center, with his hands on his knees, his shoulders straight, his back looked as generous as before, but he could no longer give Gu Yanqiu a sense of security.

"Dad." Gu Yanqiu called out softly.

Gu Huai did not respond.

Gu Yanqiu walked up to him and found that Gu Huai's eyes were slightly closed and his breathing was steady, as if he was sitting and falling asleep. Gu Yanqiu didn't call him anymore, but sat down on the other sofa, looking at the most important man in her life from hair to heel, even though he had become so unfamiliar now.

Gu Huai spewed out a breath of air, her fingers on her knees trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Gu Huai's brows and eyes drooped, showing exhaustion: "Xiao Yanqiu?"

Gu Yanqiu's heart was sour, and her eyes were almost red because of such a familiar name. She softened her voice and called out, "Dad, it's me."

"Come." Gu Huai waved at her, just like when he was a child.

The hatred towards Gu Huai collapsed in a small gesture, Gu Yanqiu got up and sat beside him.

Gu Huai asked, "Do you think your father is particularly bad?"

"Yes." Gu Yanqiu said softly, "The only thing I don't understand is why you want to marry another woman. I'm not against you marrying again, but you shouldn't do such a thing when your mother's bones are still cold. , Gu Feiquan, he..."

Gu Huai's eyelids were drooping, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. Gu Yanqiu's eyes moved down to his hand. On his ring finger, he still wore the wedding ring he wore when he married her mother.

A thought flashed across Gu Yanqiu's mind, he grabbed Gu Huai's hand, and blurted out, "Dad, do you have any difficulties?"

"Yan Qiu is back. As soon as he came back, he took his father and talked about it. The relationship is really good." He Songjun, with a slender waist and a cheongsam, paced down the stairs.

He Songjun: "Old Gu, Feiquan said that he encountered some problems at work. I wonder if I can ask you for advice."

Gu Huai said, "Just let him come over."

He Songjun laughed instantly and said with a "hing", "That silly boy from Feiquan, what are you afraid of that you will think that he is incompetent, and dare not ask you, you are his father, how can you think about such a trivial matter, don't you think? "

Gu Huai suppressed his voice and whispered "um".

Gu Yanqiu's questioning was interrupted by He Songjun, and he was annoyed, Gu Huai moved the palm he held in Gu Yanqiu's hand, pulled it back, and said, "You are tired from working all day, the food will be ready in a while, let Auntie I'll give you a bowl of iced lotus seed soup first."

Gu Huai added: "Song-Jun, let Feiquan come down and have a bowl too. He went out this morning and I saw that he had dark circles under his eyes. Don't work too hard, your health is important."

The man showed the care he had never had before. He Songjun had been drawing such warmth for more than 20 years, but unfortunately he never got it. There were tears in her eyes: "I'll go upstairs and call him now."

Gu Huai sighed in his heart.

After He Songjun left, Gu Yanqiu brought up the old things again: "Dad..."

Gu Huai interrupted her: "Go and drink lotus seed soup."

Then he closed his eyes, and he pretended not to hear what Ren Gu Yanqiu said.

Gu Feiquan was working in the room. Gu Huai promoted him last time and made him the general manager of the branch company. Now he is completely in power. He is very hardworking, young and strong, and he is still full of energy. Not only for Gu Huai to see, but also for himself.

"Feiquan." He Songjun raised his hand and knocked on the door, speaking to the crack of the door.

"Come in Mom, the door is unlocked."

As soon as Gu Feiquan looked up, he saw the obvious smile on his mother's face, he couldn't help laughing along, and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

He Songjun looked at Gu Feiquan, Gu Feiquan followed Gu Huai in appearance, with high eyebrows and broad eyes, full of heaven, gentle and gentle, wearing a tall white shirt, he felt like a social elite, the more He Songjun looked at this son, the more gratified he became.

Gu Feiquan was embarrassed by her, and said, "What happened, don't just laugh without telling me."

He Songjun said, "Your father asked you to go downstairs to drink lotus seed soup."

Gu Feiquan said, "That's it?" What's there to be happy about?

He Songjun added: "Your dad said that he went out this morning and saw that you have dark circles under your eyes. Please don't work too hard. Your health is important. Your dad still cares about you very much."

Gu Feiquan was at a loss for words, he mumbled "um", Junxiu's brows were quiet, revealing a trace of daze. Could this really be what Gu Huai said? He doesn't believe it.

He Songjun: "So as long as you behave well, your father will see it. You are no worse than anyone, especially that Gu Yanqiu. This Gu family will belong to our mother and son sooner or later."

He Songjun opened the window of Gu Feiquan's room. Looking from this direction, Gu's house had a panoramic view. He Songjun looked greedily at every inch of land.

The son behind her was slow to respond to her.

He Songjun turned back, and Gu Feiquan typed the keyboard on the laptop again.

He Songjun: "…"

"What's the use of working hard here, your dad can't see it." He Songjun hated that iron was not steel, "Go downstairs, a little sense of existence is a little bit."

Gu Feiquan disdained to please Gu Huai, and said perfunctorily, "Wait until I finish writing this sentence."

He Songjun said, "Gu Yanqiu is back downstairs."

Gu Feiquan moved when he heard the sound, and He Songjun followed behind him, thinking that this trick was still a powerful killer. Her son's attitude towards Gu Huai has always been unflattering, and he will do things that will make Gu Huai happy under He Songjun's instigation and urging, but he is very wrong to Gu Yanqiu, which can make Gu Yanqiu block Gu Feiquan's everything. willing.

No, when Gu Yanqiu heard footsteps on the stairs, he raised his eyes and looked over. Gu Feiquan strode over with a face three-pointed to Gu Huai's, "Sister is back."

He deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "sister", and when he saw Gu Yanqiu frowning imperceptibly, he felt very proud, and sat down and poured over his bowl of lotus seed soup.

Gu Yanqiu was not in a good mood after returning home today, and was too lazy to make excuses with him. But Gu Feiquan didn't intend to let her go, and asked with a half-smile, "I saw a photo of my sister-in-law on the advertising screen a few days ago, and I heard people say what program she is recording, and plans to debut as a star in the future? "

Gu Yanqiu's hand holding the spoon paused and said, "Yes."

"I heard that there is a lot of chaos in the entertainment industry. Some things are hard to avoid, especially actresses. My sister will be jailed."

Gu Yanqiu put down the spoon, the handle of the spoon and the edge of the bowl made a light bumping sound.

"I prefer you to call me by my name." Gu Yanqiu looked at him coldly, "Also, I will take good care of my wife, don't worry about it, even if I can't do it, how can the Lin family be a vegetarian? .I think the big brother is working overtime and confused, and he doesn't even understand the most simple truth of this."

Gu Feiquan smiled and said, "If I care, I'll mess up."

Gu Yanqiu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Feiquan: "..."

Gu Yanqiu: "Take care of your own life-long affairs, don't let your mother worry."

Gu Feiquan: "You—"

"I'm fine, I'm very good, thank you for your concern." Gu Yanqiu put down the empty bowl, got up and left.

He Songjun was on the side and happened to hear the conversation between Gu Yanqiu and her son. Gu Feiquan raised his head and drank the lotus seed soup, and was about to go upstairs again. He Songjun grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a girlfriend? Mom never asked you that."

Gu Feiquan shook off her hand and said angrily, "Where are you from and how can you help her?"

He Songjun said: "Of course I'm on your side. This is not a conflict with asking if you have a girlfriend. You are also old and you are thirty after your birthday. It's time to plan for yourself. ...I'm not finished yet."

Parental nagging is always an unbearable burden in life.

Gu Feiquan ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in two seconds.

Standing in the same place, He Songjun: "..."

She thought to herself that it was time to put this on the agenda.

Gu Yanqiu used a few words to make Gu Feiquan live in dire straits for a long time, wishing to run away from home. Gu Yanqiu didn't want to fight with Gu Feiquan. Everything in the Gu family was hers, and she wouldn't let it go.

At the dinner table, Gu Yanqiu told Gu Huai about her feelings and discoveries in the company during this period of time. Gu Huai sat on the main seat of the dinner table, lifted her eyes and said, "So what is your plan? what?"

Gu Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, she suddenly found that Gu Huai was sitting like this, talking to her slowly, and there was an indescribable rotten mood all over her body, which was almost different from the way she used to plan strategies and indifferent.

Gu Huai: "Huh?"

Gu Yanqiu blinked, what he saw just now was like an illusion, Gu Huai was sitting upright, still not angry and arrogant.

Gu Yanqiu said, "I want to downsize the organization and fire those who can't be used."

Before Gu Huai could speak, He Songjun sighed and said, "Will this not offend the people who arranged them to come in? I just heard that many of these people were arranged by superiors. What should they do against you?"

Gu Yanqiu said unhurriedly, "That's why I want to ask my father's permission."

He Songjun said in surprise: "Are you going to announce the identity of the group's crown child?"

Gu Yanqiu said, "Everything depends on Dad."

He Songjun was actually anxious. Once Gu Yanqiu announced his identity in the group, if nothing else, it would be a big signal for those people to stand in line. Now that her son is still in the periphery and couldn't get in, there is only one Gu Yanqiu in the company, no matter if she is a small position. Or what, even ordinary employees will be different in the eyes of those people.

He Songjun winked at Gu Feiquan, Gu Feiquan buried his head in eating and pretended not to see, what could he say about the head office.

He Songjun was so angry that he stepped on Gu Feiquan under the table, Gu Feiquan didn't even frown.

Gu Huai didn't answer at the dinner table, but called Gu Yanqiu into the study afterwards.

"When the company was first established, it was my two uncles and I invested in it. In the following 30 years, after several rounds of financing, the composition of the board of directors became more and more diverse. Among them, the one represented by me and the other surnamed Wu's, because of disagreements over whether the company is going to go public."

This was the first time Gu Yanqiu had heard Gu Huai talk about the company's leadership. She realized that this splendid-looking skyscraper might have long been filled with misery.

"I advocate not listing. The current economic situation is not very good, and our company's profits are stable. It has been on the rise in recent years. The listing results of many companies of the same nature as ours have been swept up by the economic wave. The surnamed Wu Pai advocates going public, and if the company is listed, their shares will be able to obtain greater profits. They also want to pull the fund company to sign a VAM agreement for financing. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous." Gu Huai coughed, "You said I could Agree?"

Gu Yanqiu poured him a glass of water, Gu Huai took a sip, and said, "Because of the fighting at the top, the people below stood in line one after another, and some people took advantage of the loophole to stir up the wind and rain, and make the company a mess. If it goes on like this, The company is afraid that it will end in the hands of those of us."

Gu Huai lowered her head, turned around the ring on her ring finger, and said, "That's why I put you in the company."

Gu Yanqiu raised his head abruptly and met Gu Huai's scheming eyes.

Gu Huai looked at her and smiled.

Gu Yanqiu and Gu Huai talked for a long time in the study.

That night, Gu Yanqiu lay in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.

She found that many things were not as she imagined. Gu Huai did not say those words at the dinner table, but took her to the study alone, obviously to avoid He Songjun and Gu Feiquan's mother and son, which showed that he was still taking Gu Yanqiu. as his only heir to the company.

Why is he in such a hurry to marry He Songjun, and he welcomes Gu Feiquan into the house, recognizes him as the eldest son, and pretends to exercise Gu Feiquan; He kept the wedding ring on his ring finger and rubbed it from time to time; why did he keep silent about his own problems.

Why did the piles fill her mind, Gu Yanqiu tossed and turned, turned on the light and sat up, took from the bedside table the Buddhist beads that Mrs. Xian Gu left for her, the small beads were engraved with ant-sized scriptures every moment. Wen, Gu Yanqiu groped on it with his fingers, praying if her mother could give her some hints, so that she would not turn around like a headless fly.

The road she was going to walk was shrouded in fog, and she was confused before and after.

***

"Mr. Gu, you are..." Lin Zhi looked at Gu Yanqiu in the office and took a step back at work the next day.

"Have you ever seen someone apply an eye mask?" Gu Yanqiu leaned back into the office chair, tilted his head back, and put a translucent eye mask under each of his eyes. She pinched the center of her eyebrows and said, "Yesterday I fell asleep at night."

It's okay to put it in normal times, but today is a special day, and she has to take care of herself.

"Okay, pay attention to rest." Lin Zhi put the coffee in her hand on her table.

"When will you go to the Radio and Television Center?"

"It's half past nine."

"Are you sure Lin Yuewei will also go?"

"Sure."

With Lin Zhi's confirmation again, Gu Yanqiu waved his hand to let him go down.

At 9:20, Lin Zhi came over and called Gu Yanqiu. Just as he got up from his office chair, the door to Gu Yanqiu's office opened. Gu Yanqiu changed into a fine linen-colored plaid suit, which was stylish but serious. The top button of the shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a straight collarbone and a slender neck like a cream. The long hair was **** and left on the forehead. After a few strands, I purposely blew it with a hair dryer, fluffy and soft hanging on the full and smooth forehead, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, high mountain roots, thin pale cherry lips below, slightly pursed lip line for her to see It has an aura that no strangers can enter.

Lin Zhi: "!!"

He knew that Gu Yanqiu would definitely dress up secretly!

Gu Yanqiu: "Are things ready?"

Lin Zhi: "...Everything is ready, leave at any time."

The man who went with Gu Yanqiu was a male leader. The other party was obviously stunned when he looked at her. He patted Gu Yanqiu on the shoulder and smiled. There are always beautiful people in this world who can get more preferential treatment. People are visual animals. The same goes for business.

The cooperation with TV stations started last year, and now the traditional media is going from bad to worse, so this year is naturally different. The TV station's profit is going to decrease, of course they will not be happy, so this negotiation is not destined to be that easy.

Gu Yanqiu and the leader were wrangling with people from the TV station in the living room. She made a gesture to Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi found an excuse and slipped out.

There are dozens of floors in the Radio and Television Center building. Lin Zhi asked a person he met on the way. The other person didn't know which floor XX magazine was on. Lin Zhi then got off the elevator to the first floor, looked at the wall hangings, and recorded the distribution of companies on each floor.

He read word by word, and finally let him find the floor of the magazine, the nineteenth floor.

He went up to the nineteenth floor and followed the numbers on the door one by one. He happened to meet a person head-on. Lin Zhi stopped him and asked for the specific location. He wrote down the route from the door, photographed the number on the top, and sent a message to Gu Yanqiu.

"Of course we have sincerity, otherwise we wouldn't have come running in the hot weather..."

The phone in Gu Yanqiu's pocket vibrated.

Gu Yanqiu took a look at it and put it back.

According to Gu Yanqiu's instructions, he would not be needed after that, so Lin Zhi simply stayed on the 19th floor and did not leave. People would pass by from time to time in the corridor here. The fake stone, I don't know if there are too many people sitting on it or it's just designed that way. It looks like a stool. After Lin Zhi asked a staff member, he sat on it with confidence.

He didn't wait for Gu Yanqiu, but Lin Yuewei first.

As the elevator went up and down, Lin Zhi raised his head once the elevator rang, then met the stranger's eyes, embarrassed once, and went back and forth several times.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the upward elevator stopped on the 19th floor with a "ding" sound. Lin Zhi followed the old method and looked at his feet.

One pair, two pairs, three, four, five, six pairs.

Lin Zhi: "!!"

Lin Zhi suddenly raised his head.

Lin Yuewei's hat, sunglasses and mask were tightly covered, and his hands were held by a person who looked like an assistant. Two people in front of him and two people behind him walked out of the elevator.

"Lin..." Lin Zhi couldn't help but blurt out a word.

Lin Yuewei has been taking classes and doing foreign affairs one after another these days. On average, she only slept two hours a day. She has not closed her eyes for 30 hours now. She just stood on the elevator with her eyes closed and almost fell asleep under the cover of her sunglasses. on.

When Lin Yuewei came out, she didn't notice that there was still a person sitting on a stool not far away. At this time, Lin Zhi's words made her turn her head. He could still recognize her with such a tight cover, she was a true fan.

True love fans are 1.83 meters tall, have long hands and feet, and are a refreshing little handsome guy. Incredible, the little handsome guy looks a little familiar.

Lin Yuewei let out a soft hiss, looking for the figure of this person in his memory.

"You are..." Lin Yuewei remembered, "Did you go to the last XX platform event?"

Lin Zhi was overjoyed: "Yes, I went."

It seems that it is really impossible to be a true fan, Lin Yuewei stopped and asked casually, "Are you working here?"

Lin Zhi said, "No, I came here with my boss to talk about work."

Lin Yuewei didn't know what to say, so he said "uh" and said, "Come on."

Lin Zhi said, "By the way, my boss gave him the last time—"

The assistant next to Lin Yuewei pulled Lin Yuewei's arm and motioned her to stop wasting time. Lin Yuewei smiled apologetically and said, "I'm going to work too, see you next time if you have a chance."

She walked away quickly.

Lin Zhi: "...bye."

Lin Zhi sat down again.

An hour later, Gu Yanqiu came down from the 19th floor. Seeing Lin Zhi reporting the news in real time, Gu Yanqiu rushed in front of Lin Zhi as if stepping on two hot wheels: "Is anyone still there?"

Lin Zhi hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I didn't see her go."

Lin Zhi led her to the magazine office inside. There were no one in the offices on both sides. Gu Yanqiu became more and more uncertain as he walked, and asked, "Did you really not see her leaving? There are so many people who just got off work."

Lin Zhi said: "I used my two eyes with 1.5 vision to make sure that I was staring at each other and never left."

Gu Yanqiu still carried a heart.

"That's it." Lin Zhi stopped, Gu Yanqiu saw the house number above, it was undoubtedly XX Magazine.

Lin Zhi immediately took out his mobile phone, called up the front camera, and stretched it out in front of Gu Yanqiu.

Gu Yanqiu, who was about to take out his vanity mirror: "..."

Lin Zhi bared his teeth and smiled.

Gu Yanqiu straightened his hair facing the front camera, straightened the corner of his suit, and knocked on the door that was hidden.

No one responded.

"Maybe they are off work." Lin Zhi said.

"You wait for me anywhere you can see this door." After Gu Yanqiu finished speaking, he gently pushed open the door. Perhaps because the magazine is very famous, the space inside is very large. Gu Yanqiu went around the grid in the middle and came to a door. There was a rectangular window above the door. Gu Yanqiu saw it on tiptoe.

In the dim light, a man sat in a chair in the room, his head lowered deeply. Even if it was a silhouette, Gu Yanqiu confirmed that he would not see it wrong.

—It’s Lin Yuewei.

There was a piece of the heart that collapsed softly, like it was soaked in honey.

After Lin Yuewei finished the interview, the magazine office had already finished get off work. The staff of the magazine office and the assistant went down to eat together. Lin Yuewei was too sleepy, so she asked the assistant sister to pack a copy for her, and she squinted inside for a while.

Even in the chair, with his body unable to stretch out and his head drooping, Lin Yuewei still slept soundly, not even knowing that the door of the room was twisted open and someone sneaked in.

Gu Yanqiu squatted down in front of her and looked at her from the bottom up.

Lin Yuewei was holding her backpack in his hand, her curled eyelashes fell down, those beautiful eyes that were a mix of toughness and tenderness were gently closed, and her black hair hung down from behind her to the front, like a crow's feather. Black, his head moved down a little bit unconsciously.

Xu is that Gu Yanqiu's breathing affected her, Lin Yuewei took a breath, and there was a vague snort in his nostrils.

Gu Yanqiu hurriedly stayed away, looked at her silently for a while, and tentatively reached out and touched the tip of her nose with a little curiosity, it was round and upturned, and the touch was as delicate as silk.

Gu Yanqiu closed his eyes guiltily, opened them again, and glanced secretly, but Lin Yuewei didn't respond.

Gu Yanqiu didn't let go at the touch of a touch, and her long, soft fingers slowly slid down her lips to her bright and full lips.

Eyes glued to it.

Her throat rolled down.

The author has something to say: the matter of the Gu family started 30 years ago, and I will talk about it slowly in the future.

Have you kissed yet?

Advertise it, come back tomorrow~
