Chapter 44
Li Zhiyuan pushed open the door and saw Mu Chen who was looking at him. The two looked at each other, and Mu Chen hurriedly looked away and looked behind him.But Li Zhiyuan felt that Mu Chen's eyes were a little red.
Li Zhiyuan sighed. Mu Chen is not a strong person. He used to shed two tears whenever he was tired or depressed. How dare a year-old person do it.But Li Zhiyuan was in a complicated mood at this time, did he really care about it?
Both sides did not speak, and the scene was a little depressed for a while.At this time, Ma Yubo's secretary hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting. This is our Director Li, who came to inspect the company today." Then he turned to Li Zhiyuan and said, "This is Mr. Mu this time. The representative of the team, Mu Chen."
Mu Chen stretched out his right hand first: "Hello, Director Li." It was a little tentative.
Li Zhiyuan slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and the original feeling of coldness and alienation was like melting an iceberg, and it was instantly shattered. Li Zhiyuan's own beautiful face was also slowly revived because of this smile.
Slowly stretch out your right hand and hold it, "Hello, Mr. Mu."
Mu Chen's eyes were shining brightly, and he shook Li Zhiyuan's slender white hand vigorously.Li Zhiyuan's hands look beautiful, but in fact they are very hard due to many years of practice, and there are hard calluses on the inside of the fingers. Mu Chen gently hooked his fingers and rubbed the calluses between Li Zhiyuan's fingers.
Seeing that the two of them made eye contact without anyone else, Ma Yubo's assistant coughed twice before they let go of each other's hands.
Mu Chen rubbed his right hand, as if he had recognized something, he clenched his fist tightly.
Although Mu Chen had no expression on his face, his eyes were amazingly bright, while Li Zhiyuan kept the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was in a good mood without hiding it.
Next came the working hours. The two parties seemed to have a tacit understanding. For the first time, they did not argue endlessly for their own interests. All problems were hastily resolved in about two hours, and the contract was signed before 11:[-] noon.
As soon as the two parties separated, Mu Chen couldn't wait to grab Li Zhiyuan's hand, held it firmly, and curled the corners of his mouth stiffly: "Go to my house!"
Li Zhiyuan lowered his eyes silently, knowing that Mu Chen had no bad intentions, but why is his smile so attractive. . .
It was still the house from last time, but the mood of the two of them was completely different.
Li Zhiyuan sat down, and Mu Chen took out the tea set to make his favorite tea.Li Zhiyuan looked at the hazy and serious Mu Chen behind the water vapor, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart, so he couldn't help but shouted, "Mu Chen."
"Huh?" He raised his eyes, filled with joy and trust.
Li Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, avoided his gaze, and deliberately said coldly: "We have something to say first."
Mu Chen pursed his lips and kept moving, "Let's talk after drinking the tea." As he spoke, he moved like flowing water.
Not long after, a cup of warm tea was placed in front of Li Zhiyuan, and he sniffed the tea lightly. It was still the same as before, but Li Zhiyuan couldn't bear to let it go.
He picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. He just played with it lightly in his hand: "Mu Chen, you told me a lot about you, but I haven't told you about mine, right?"
Mu Chen nodded and looked at Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan looked into the distance, with a look of memory in his eyes: "When I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I just found a master, I had a place, and I met a benefactor, so it was not so easy to be bullied by others. I was full of thoughts, and let down my vigilance when the danger was eliminated. My benefactor liked to paint, and he raised many painters under his hands, all of whom were capable. He likes and relies heavily on doing things, so they put their ideas on me." Speaking of this, Li Zhiyuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was not angry and majestic, sitting on the sofa with an elegant posture On the ground, Mu Chen felt a monstrous momentum rushing towards his face.
But Mu Chen stared at Li Zhiyuan closely as if he didn't notice, with tension and worry in his eyes.
"At that time, there was a painter among the group of painters, Yushu Linfeng was better than Pan An, and his talent and demeanor was better than Zijian. However, because he had no background, he could not be reused by his benefactors. He designed to know me, love me, respect me, take care of me, and teach me I write, draw, and play the piano. I used to think that he was the best person in the world to me, and we would be together for the rest of our lives, but I am still young and ignorant after all." Li Zhiyuan turned his head to look Xiang Mu Chen, with a smiling face but no warmth in his eyes: "When he was finally valued by my benefactor with my help, he turned to my benefactor's enemy, turned around and betrayed us completely. The neck was almost cut off, and my benefactor was pierced through the chest."
Li Zhiyuan looked at Mu Chen who lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, leaned close, covered his face with his right hand, raised it up, and said word by word while the two looked at each other: "So, Mu Chen, I'm afraid I don't dare to play anymore, and I can't afford to play anymore. You, don't blame me."
Crystal clear tears rolled down the corners of Li Zhiyuan's eyes, but his eyes looking at Mu Chen were still clear and cold.
Mu Chen turned his head away, broke away from Li Zhiyuan's hand that was caressing his face, closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, and finally relieved the pain in his heart, but something became more determined.
Mu Chen opened his eyes, stared at Li Zhiyuan, and said firmly: "I am me, he is him, I know you are afraid, but I can wait, I believe, time will prove everything. Don't run away from me, even if we Can't be a lover, but also a friend for many years. I know you, and I won't force you. "
Seeing Li Zhiyuan's stunned expression, Mu Chen suddenly felt a strong and proud force in his heart, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm and motivation, so he didn't say any more and just said "I'll cook for you", Just left the room.
Li Zhiyuan watched Mu Chen's figure disappear from sight, and then slowly put away his dazed expression, and curled the corners of his mouth.
He said that Mu Chen couldn't escape.
The story is true, but not as exaggerated as he said. He did fall in love with the painter, but he is not an idiot. He dealt with it in time when he first found out that something was wrong. If it was true as he said, he would have already There is no place to bury the dead.
However, it would be fine if Mu Chen believed it.
In fact, he also knows that this kind of delay is not a long-term solution, but he has no better idea. After these two months, he has to admit that he needs Mu Chen, his talent and care.
That's right, he admits that he is selfish, and even if he doesn't like others, he hangs them up and makes them bother him.But I'm sorry, the living environment he grew up in didn't teach him kindness and honesty. Life told him that if he wanted him, he had to fight for him, no matter what.
He doesn't like Mu Chen, but if he needs him one day, he won't let him go.
Even with the method he most disdained to use.
Walking to the door, leaning against the door frame, watching Mu Chen busy in the kitchen, he couldn't help but smile with his lips curled up, feeling very proud in his heart.
But it happened to be seen by Mu Chen. The young man with Huafa leaned against the wooden door frame and looked at him with a smile, gentle and satisfied.
A picture suddenly appeared in Mu Chen's mind. Ten or 20 years later, Li Zhiyuan at that time was really as gorgeous and mottled as he is now, but he still looked at him the same as now, and he would still cook for him like today.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen also laughed, his eyes were full of happiness and anticipation.
But this smile was not so good in Li Zhiyuan's eyes. He lowered his eyes and laughed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, he hated using this kind of low-level method the most. I hope this is the first and last time he will use it.
"How about taking cucumbers, fried rapeseed with shiitake mushrooms, steamed broccoli with sausage, and corn soup with ribs, how about it?" Mu Chen's voice interrupted Li Zhiyuan's self-mockery, because Li Zhiyuan likes fresh vegetables, so most of them are vegetarian.
Li Zhiyuan nodded: "When did you learn to cook?"
Mu Chen kept patting the cucumber with his hands: "For so many years abroad, I always have to do it myself." In fact, he learned it specially for the two of them to be together in the future. Li Zhiyuan is good everywhere. He just doesn't like to do trivial chores. Obviously, washing clothes and cooking are not bad, but he won't do it himself unless it is absolutely necessary. Mu Chen knows whether he is lazy or doesn't like it.
It’s like he’s obviously better at making tea than himself, and even he learned the art of tea from him, but if others don’t make it for him, he won’t make it himself, and even if he’s hungry, he’ll carry tea all the way He goes to a teahouse to find a craftsman he likes to help him brew, but he doesn't know how to make it himself, and he has an extraordinary aversion to these things.
The food was ready soon, and the two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere became much more enthusiastic.
"By the way." Mu Chen pretended to be casual and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to join the Mu Family, what do you think of Zhou Jingxuan?"
Zhou Jingxuan is one of the five gold medal managers of the Mu family. Although he looks ordinary, he has great skills. The energy behind him is not to be underestimated. The resources in his hands are inexhaustible. The worst of the top five gold medal brokers, also owns the fewest shares.
Li Zhiyuan nodded, and asked casually: "Where is An Xuefeng? How is he recently? I remember that he was the gold medal manager of Mu's more than ten years ago?" Ever since Li Anhe quit the showbiz, his relationship with An Xuefeng has been difficult. It faded away. After all, with Li Anhe's identity, even An Xuefeng would not be able to hold him tight, so he was very self-aware and rarely disturbed, leaving a good time in front of Li Zhiyuan and Li Anhe. Impression, Ang Lee and the company's commercials in recent years have also used his artists.
"Him?" Mu Chen's eyes showed a slight sarcasm, "He is really doing well. Now he can be said to be the head of Mu's gold medal brokers, and he is also the one who owns the most shares of Mu's shares among the five. Oh, my eyesight is bad, and I put the bid on Mu Zhengjie." Speaking of Mu Zhengjie, Mu Chen laughed at himself again: "But if it follows the development of the previous life, it is right for him to win the bid. After I die, I will definitely It was Mu Zhengjie who inherited the Mu family founded by my father, and he can be regarded as a discerning person."
Hearing Mu Zhengjie's name, Li Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes: "I just got the news yesterday that Mu Zhengjie met Li Qingqing with the help of Li Anjing."
