Chapter 51 Chapter 51
A week later, in Shen Bai's office in S City, Chen Nali happily opened the door and walked in, handed the document to Shen Bai, and said with high spirits: "Mr. If so, I'll post it in the afternoon."
Shen Bai took it over, glanced at it, raised his eyes and said indifferently: "What about the agreed three or seven points?"
"Uh..." Chen Nali looked embarrassed, "You know, it's not what it used to be..."
"It's also you who said that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake." Shen Bai leaned back in his chair leisurely.
"But it's not the same thing." Chen Nali argued.
"I think it's the same thing." Shen Bai pushed the document to her, and said concisely: "Ask them to Mr. Gu and come to the company to talk tomorrow."
Chen Nali reluctantly picked up the file, but she still couldn't hold back the complaints in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "What a big-tailed wolf, it's clearly a disease of longing."
Shen Bai raised her eyebrows, and Chen Nali quickly moved to the door: "Alright Mr. Shen, I'll make an appointment right away."
More than ten minutes later, Chen Nali pushed the door open again and came in with low eyebrows and small steps, and said in a casual manner: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Gu replied that there is no time tomorrow. If Mr. Shen is in a hurry, let's make an appointment tonight."
Shen Bai snorted coldly: "I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Nali curled her lips, said oh, and turned to go out.
"Wait," Shen Bai said with a gloomy expression, "Let Xiao Zhao book a restaurant and send the address. See you at seven o'clock in the evening."
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Bai came out of the office and walked straight out of the company with big strides.
Fang Shi was waiting at his seat, when he saw him approaching, he stood up abruptly, bit his lips and said to Shen Bai: "Mr. Shen, can I invite you to dinner tonight?"
Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, then he slowly recalled the ambiguous but vaguely ambiguous words he said to others last time when he had a brain twitch in the hospital.
Hold.Shen Bai scolded himself for being stupid from the bottom of his heart, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Fang Shi, I have an appointment with a client to discuss the contract tonight, let's wait another day."
Fang Shi's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Shen Bai sighed, and withdrew the hand that was about to rub his head halfway, and said lightly: "If there's nothing else, get off work quickly."
When Shen Bai's car slowly parked in the parking space outside the French restaurant that he wrote about, LaVieEnRose, for a moment he had the illusion of time reincarnation. When he regained consciousness, he immediately called Zhao Wanwan I made a phone call and asked angrily.
"What restaurant are you ordering for me? Is this a place to discuss business? Change to another immediately."
Zhao Wanwan felt aggrieved and said in embarrassment: "But Mr. Shen, didn't you make appointments with clients there a few times before? I thought you didn't mind. Besides, it won't matter if you change places."
Shen Bai never expected that in his lifetime, he would be silenced by Zhao Wanwan, a girl. He hung up the phone with a sullen face without saying a word, opened the car door and walked aggressively towards the restaurant.
The waiter opened the door with a smile on his face, and was taken aback by Shen Bai's Hades face. He calmed down and continued to ask enthusiastically, "Good evening, sir. Do you have a reservation?"
"Shen Bai."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, this way please."
The waiter bowed to guide Shen Bai in, and just after taking two steps, another waiter greeted him from behind: "Good evening, sir, do you have a reservation?"
The visitor replied politely in a nice voice: "A gentleman named Shen Bai made the reservation, thank you."
"Coincidentally." The waiter at the door looked over with a smile, "Mr. Shen has just arrived, and the two of you are very understanding."
Shen Bai's body froze and turned around to look over, and then, the old deer in his chest uncontrollably rammed violently again.
Gu Xien, who was standing at the door, was wearing a new autumn-winter black windbreaker from Hermes today. His hair was dyed chestnut brown, and it seemed to be cut short, revealing the tip of his fair ear. On his right earlobe, he wore a silver stud earring, shining With the small but dazzling light, the whole person is bathed in the light at the door, like a noble young master, looking warm and delicate.
He put one hand into the pocket of the windbreaker, turned to look at it from a distance, smiled at Shen Bai, with a pair of beautiful dimples on the corners of his mouth, and greeted lightly: "Good evening, Mr. Shen."
Shen Bai recovered from the momentary stupefaction, his eyes darkened, he walked over quickly, grabbed his wrist, pulled him behind him, gnashed his teeth while walking and mocked in a low voice: "Mr. So ostentatious, is it to meet customers or come to pick them up?"
Gu Xien struggled for a while but did not break free, and reprimanded in a low voice eagerly: "You let go."
Shen Bai turned a deaf ear, and the waiter at the side shouted in embarrassment, "Sir, violence is prohibited here."
Shen Bai turned his head and stared at him, "Isn't this a restaurant for couples? Have you never seen couples slap each other's ears when they quarrel and break up?"
waiter:"……"
The two sat down at the reserved seats, Gu Xien lowered his head and rubbed his wrists, Shen Bai looked at the silver light on his earlobe with hatred, and said in a disturbed way: "Can you take that thing off?"
Gu Xien looked up, looked at him and smiled: "What's Mr. Shen's request?"
"Gu Xi'en, are you playing with me?"
Gu Xien looked at him innocently, and tried to persuade him: "Please be careful with your words, Mr. Shen. Calling people by their names in person is very disrespectful."
Shen Bai blew his beard and stared, but Gu Xien ignored him, picked up the menu and called the waiter to start ordering.
Shen Bai maintained the last so-called gentlemanly demeanor, waited patiently for him to finish ordering, and then watched him reach out and pass the menu to him, Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, Gu Xien smiled lightly: "I've ordered, Mr. Shen, please go ahead."
Shen Bai raised Erlang's legs: "You can order together, don't show me."
"I don't know what Mr. Shen likes to eat."
"Eat what you order."
"Oh," Gu Xien handed the menu directly to the waiter, "Then just ordered, and add one for each."
waiter:"……"
The waiter put away the order and stepped back. Shen Bai looked at Gu Xien's face opposite him through the ambiguous light above the dining table, and was in a daze for a while, as if he had returned to the dining table at home in an instant. The squishy noodles seem to taste the delicacy of the world.
Shen Bai shook his head, threw this damned inappropriate flashback out of his mind, looked at Gu Xien and frowned and asked: "What is the relationship between you and Huang Huaisheng?"
Gu Xi'en tasted the profound meaning in Shen's vernacular words, his face changed slightly, but after a while, he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said calmly, "It's not what you think."
"You know what I'm thinking again?" Shen Bai gritted his teeth, looked at his expression, and smiled angrily: "Aggrieved? Is it hard to be misunderstood? But Gu Xi'en, have you ever been honest with me?"
Gu Xien lowered his eyes, and said slowly after a while: "Let's talk about the contract."
"Let's talk about shit." Shen Bai said: "You think that I invited you here today just to talk about some shitty contract?"
Zhao Wanwan who is far away at home: Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? ? ? ? ?
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Gu Xi'en got up and was about to leave, but Shen Bai slapped the table and said in a low voice, "Sit down."
Gu Xien was taken aback by the yelling, and before he recovered, he heard Shen Bai domineering and said: "You have a big temper. How did Director Huang tell you? Shame on you if you disagree? Do you still want to do business?"
Gu Xien's face was a little pale after he choked on a few words, but his body sat back. Just at this time, the waiter came over with a tray and began to serve appetizers and soup. , the two were silent, and the atmosphere was so weird that the waiter didn't even dare to vent his breath.
The waiter left after serving the dishes, Shen Bai looked at Gu Xien's expression, felt distressed but wanted to continue to provoke, endured it for a while, gritted his teeth and continued: "One sentence, Huang Dong scared you so much, what did he do? What is your reason?"
"There's no reason." Gu Xian answered quickly this time, he grabbed the white wine in front of him and drank it down, put down the glass, looked at Shen Bai firmly and said: "If you want to know, I'll tell you. Because Huang Huaisheng's wife is my biological mother."
Shen Bai looked at him in disbelief, and it took him a long time to find his voice, trembling in the uncertain tone: "So, you are the child who was directly eliminated from the plot?"
Gu Xien froze for a moment, and asked, "What?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Bai, who was opposite him, stood up suddenly, walked over the dining table to his side, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull him up from his seat, then hugged him into his arms, and hugged him tightly.The sound of breathing that seemed a little disorganized due to emotional agitation lingered in his ears, and then Gu Xien heard Shen Bai's voice, and said to him heartbrokenly: "So that's the case. I'm sorry, but I still don't believe it. It turns out that the protagonist of the story, Right in front of my eyes."
Gu Xi'en's body froze suddenly, and before he could speak, there was a burst of intense applause from around, and the two let go of each other in astonishment at the same time.I saw people around me, whether they were customers or waiters, looking at them with gratified and happy smiles on their faces, and then a waiter holding a bouquet of roses stepped forward and smiled at the two of them. The person said: "Congratulations, you are the 521st couple who successfully hold hands in our store. To celebrate this number that symbolizes love, our store specially sent 99 roses. I hope that the relationship between you two is as strong as this rose. At the same time, we can be invincible forever, and spend a lifetime together hand in hand.”
Shen Bai was still in a daze, when he was slightly pushed by Gu Xi'en, he also took a small step back, and barely stopped his body against the edge of the table.
"No." He stabilized his body, turned his head and said to the waiter with a smile, "We are not a couple."
Shen Bai's face turned pale, and then he quickly hid all his emotions, and echoed: "Yes, I'm sorry to have misunderstood you." Under the astonished eyes of the waiter, he slowly said: "We are not a couple. , so this flower, please take it back.”
The two walked out of the restaurant together, Shen Bai looked back at Gu Xien who was arranging his coat, and said flatly: "So this kind of place doesn't seem suitable for talking about work."
Gu Xien raised his head, smiled and said, "Yes, next time we should directly make an appointment with the company."
"Okay." Shen Bai replied firmly, then paused, and asked him, "Did you come here by car?"
"I—" Gu Xi'en had just said a word, when a voice suddenly came in, attracting the attention of both of them at the same time.
"Mr. Shen." Fang Shi, who did not know when he appeared near Shen Bai's car, stood by the parking space not far away, with an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, looking at this side with a dull expression.
Shen Bai's heart sank, and just as he was about to say something, the other party had already trotted over, his mouth full of cautious emotions: "Mr. Shen, can you send me back to school?"
"Why—" Shen Bai's words were also interrupted by him, Fang Shi looked at Shen Bai fixedly, and said sadly: "Mr. Shen, did what you said to me in the hospital before still count?"
"Fang Shi!" Shen Bai snapped, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Fang Shi was so frightened that he shivered, his eyes gradually filled with tears, he looked at Shen Bai in horror and said timidly, "I'm sorry..."
Shen Bai closed his eyes. If he had the chance to go back in time, no matter what the price was, he would go back to the morning more than half a month ago and punch himself hard in the head.
"You go to my car and wait, I'll take you back." Shen Bai waved his hand at him, Fang Shi asked incredulously: "Is what you said true?"
"Yes." Shen Bai's tone became more serious, Fang Yi shrank his neck, turned around and walked slowly towards the car.
Shen Bai took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and then turned to look at Gu Xien.Gu Xien seemed to be thinking about something with his head down, until Shen Bai looked over, then raised his head telepathically, smiled at him and said: "I drove, and I stopped at the shopping mall over there, you should go back quickly. Weekend Happy, next week," he paused, and continued: "Find a time, let's talk at your company."
Shen Bai looked at him, his throat tightened for a while, and finally he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Drive carefully, pay attention to safety on the road." Gu Xian waved at him, turned and left first.
Shen Bai watched his figure disappear at the entrance of the mall, then turned around and walked towards his vehicle.
Fang Shi stood in front of the car door, looked up at him silently, and Shen Bai looked at him expressionlessly, but finally didn't say a word, raised his chin and said, "Get in the car, I'll see you off."
Fang Shi walked over to pull the passenger's door, and a calm voice sounded from behind him without emotion: "Sit in the back."
"Mr. Shen." Fang Shi seemed to step on a switch in an instant, his emotional voice raised, and he said sadly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't be so impatient, you just broke up, I can wait."
"Fang Shi," Shen Bai simply didn't get in the car, just leaned against the car, looked at him seriously and said, "Now I should actually apologize to you, because I said something to give you hope on the spur of the moment. To you, I'm an asshole."
"No..." Fang Yi desperately shook his head in denial.
However, Shen Bai continued to talk on his own: "You don't want to admit it, but the fact is true, so what you need to do is stay away from me and don't give me another chance to hurt you. Okay, Fang Shi?"
Gu Xien walked slowly along the street. The winter in S City is bone-deeply cold, and clothes are completely irresistible. Fortunately, the cold this month is not very heavy, and the downtown area is full of people. After walking for a distance, he still I felt my whole body start to warm up.
Around a wide intersection, a huge Christmas tree stood outside the main entrance of a large shopping mall across the street. The tree was surrounded by colorful lights, which attracted the eyes of big and small friends coming and going. , and began to scramble to stand under the tree for a group photo.
Gu Xien hesitated for a moment, but decided to cross the road to have a look. The red light on the sidewalk was about to pass. He stood at the intersection and waited for the pass. Because his eyes were attracted by the huge light source, he had no time to pay attention to the pedestrians and vehicles around him.
Several loud sirens in succession attracted the attention of passers-by around, and Gu Xien came back to his senses and followed the source of the sound.
A black Cayenne was parked on the side of the road, with double flashing lights for him in the night, and the person in the driver's seat looked at him silently, until he finally turned his head and looked over, his eyes gradually revealed a look of light, and a gentle look bloomed towards him. smile.
"A lift? This gentleman."
