lack of love

Chapter 17 I miss you

Yan Hao did it too hard that night, and after Zhong Qiran returned to country M, the hickey on his neck still hasn't faded.He knew that Yan Hao was intentionally staying in an obvious place, and he couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to, so he simply didn't cover it up.

Fortunately, country M is considered an open place. Although the students have seen it, they don't talk too much about it.

Li Qi is a person who understands the inside story. When he saw Zhong Qi, he whistled and joked, "Your old love has rekindled?"

"That's it."

"Is he playing tricks on me?"

Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have never thought about this question, "Why do you think so?"

Li Qi took it for granted, "Didn't he chase after him because he was jealous?"

Zhong Qiran thought about it and realized that it seemed to be the case.The timing of Yan Hao's arrival was too perfect, obviously he had investigated his whereabouts beforehand, but he never asked about his relationship with Li Qi, not even the fact that Li Qi had spent the night with him.Do you really believe him that much?Or do you think that as long as he changes his mind, nothing else matters?

Li Qi was still curious, "Isn't it?"

Zhong Qiran glanced at him and said, "Take care of yourself."

Li Qi shrugged and stopped asking.He already knew that it was impossible for him and Zhong Qi to be together, and there was nothing to regret, so he changed the subject and asked: "There is less than a year left, is your graduation thesis ready?"

Zhong Qiran replied casually: "It's almost there, I'm preparing."

"Have you thought about where to go when you return home?"

On the premise of successfully graduating, if they don't plan to continue to pursue a Ph. D., they really need to start submitting their resumes now.

Zhong Qiran glanced at Li Qi, probably this is what the other party really wanted to know.He smiled and joked, "Afraid that I will steal your job?"

"I'm afraid." Li Qi also smiled back, but his tone was very serious, "I'm also afraid that you will become a competitor of my company."

Their industries seem irrelevant, but the environment is changing rapidly. Market research must not only meet the needs of the public, but also seize the opportunity to monopolize the market.If we look at the same investment direction as other companies, we must try our best to win over manufacturers and attract customers.The accuracy of market research and analysis has determined the key to success from the very beginning, and this is the competition Li Qi is talking about.

Zhong Qi didn't expect that Li Qi would put him in such a high position, so he said: "You think highly of me. I was just an employee of a small company before. It's just a layer of gold across the sea. It's not that expensive."

Li Qi disagrees, "It's a good thing to be humble, but you underestimate yourself too much. The person I like will not be an ordinary person."

Zhong Qiran is indeed used to being humble, he has been taught like this since he was a child, and he won't be able to change it for a while.So he actually appreciates Li Qi's self-confidence and aggressiveness, which is what he lacks.

And this trip back to China, Yan Hao also expressed his intention to let him work in his company.But Zhong Qi is still thinking about...

Zhong Qiran rejected Yan Hao before, just because he didn't want people to think that he depended on Yan Hao to survive.But the situation is different now. Since he has decided to face up to the Yan family's problems, he cannot escape.And the fastest and most direct way is to stay by Yan Hao's side and make some achievements.Although he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, at least he can't let Yan's mother look down on him.Otherwise, he can't guarantee that an accident like this one won't happen again.If it wasn't for Yan Hao's insistence, they would have missed their lives like this.

Every time Zhong Qiran thinks of this, he feels very unwilling.And in this kind of unwillingness, mixed with complex emotions such as guilt, distress, and emotion, it was precisely because he was not confident enough or strong enough that he left without looking back and let others manipulate him like this.

Since Yan Hao is willing to protect him with his life, he might as well make some sacrifices.

Two people who love each other break away from the shackles of the family and live freely outside. That's what happens in fairy tales.The bloody lesson of reality told him that as long as there is resistance, it is useless to escape.

A month later, Zhong Qiran learned over the phone that Yan Hao had adopted his original proposal for a gym trial.

Zhong Qiran was stunned while holding the phone.He himself knew how high the risk was, and he almost put all his eggs in one basket. Either he would be brought back to life, or he would be completely defeated.And this is also related to the Yan family's face.

The market is cruel, and it is not shameful to fail once, but if you fail again in the same place, you will be ridiculed.Therefore, many entrepreneurs would rather admit compensation and withdraw capital than lose face and get out of hand.

Zhong Qiran asked cautiously: "You just trust me like that? You're not afraid... you'll lose all your money."

"This way you won't be able to run away, so you have to sell yourself to pay off your debts."

Yan Hao's tone clearly showed no emotion, but Zhong Qiran felt that he might be laughing.Because of past habits, coupled with his knowledge of Yan Hao, he can understand what this person is thinking at the moment.

It's an amazing feeling.Just like the only person who understands him in the world is himself.

Yan Hao didn't hear the reply from the other end of the phone, and thought that Zhong Qiran was frightened by him.He reflected on where his joke was wrong, and then discussed the business seriously, "Actually, I discussed it with the sales and business departments, and they thought it was a good idea to give it a try, although it was risky. "

Zhong Qiran only felt half moved, and was immediately poured cold water on him.But what Zhong Qiran didn't know was that in fact, on the contrary, Yan Hao was very authoritarian and tried his best to force the proposal to pass.

Yan Hao is not afraid of failure, if he fails, he just needs to start again.However, some opportunities are lost once missed. (e.g. chasing wife)

He took it for granted: "We still lack an analyst. Don't you think you should take responsibility?"

Zhong Qiran paused and realized that Yan Hao wanted to use this method to recruit himself to his company so that he could stay by his side more logically, "Did you do it on purpose..."

Yan Hao did not answer this question, but said: "When will you come back? I miss you."

Zhong Qi suddenly felt that his face was going to burn.He always felt that ever since Yan Hao bumped his head, something terrible had been turned on.In the past, Yan Hao was emotionally restrained, never expressing so blatantly.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhong Qiran's previous doubts now have answers.Yan Hao really trusted him, that's why he expressed his thoughts candidly, and that's why he didn't ask about his relationship with Li Qi.

That night, they talked on the phone for a long time, even if they had nothing to talk about, they listened quietly to each other's breathing.

Yan Hao was very busy, but he didn't urge him to hang up; Zhong Qi was already sleepy, but he didn't want to say it.

In the end, Zhong Qiran still couldn't beat the drowsiness, and fell asleep on the bed.

Yan Hao waited for a while, and after confirming that Zhong Qiran would not speak again, he said softly: "Good night."

Zhong Qiran returned to China for the third time, and it was three months after the last time.With only half a year left before graduation, he is really busy.But no matter how busy he is, he still has to find time to come back.Because he agreed to Yan Hao's invitation and took over the case he proposed.In every sense, this was his real starting point.

As soon as he got off the plane, Yan Hao's driver took him to the company.

The two agreed to have lunch together, but when they met after a long absence, they were actually talking about business.

Although Zhong Qi was still a little nervous at first, he was slightly relieved after meeting.Yan Hao is very serious about his work, he is overthinking.But it was also the first time for him to see Yan Hao's appearance at work, which was completely different from that in private.He couldn't help but glanced a few more times, and Yan Hao's eyes swept over lightly.He lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

Today, Zhong Qiran followed Yan Hao to get off work.When the two walked to the parking lot, Yan Hao asked casually, "Are you still used to it?"

Zhong Qiran said honestly: "I'm still getting used to it. After all, I haven't worked for a while..."

He chatted with Yan Hao one after another, but after meeting, he was no longer as close as he was on the phone.He walked to the passenger seat, and when he was about to open the car door, Yan Hao's hand suddenly stretched out from behind and propped it on the car door, preventing him from opening it.At this moment, the tension that Zhong Qiran hid in his heart surged up again.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Yan Hao's voice was very close, although his body did not touch him, but Zhong Qiran's whole body seemed to be surrounded by the breath of this man.

"Is it because of what I did to you last time?"

Zhong Qiran's face turned red again, not only because of Yan Hao's words, but also because they were still in such an ambiguous posture in public.He didn't dare to turn his head away, but he was afraid that Yan Hao would say something that would make him feel ashamed.He pushed Yan Hao's hand and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we get home, shall we?"

Yan Hao asked unrelentingly: "Can't we say it now?"

"There are a lot of people watching."

"You are mine. Is there anything that cannot be known?"

When Zhong Qiran heard this sentence at first, his heart was touched, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Hao.

Yan Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he tilted his head slightly, found the right angle and lowered his head to kiss Zhong Qiran's lips.After waiting for three months, he could no longer suppress the longing in his heart.
