Chapter 48

Lu Xin was convinced by Liang Xuan, and agreed to treat them to dinner, but at eleven o'clock in the morning, he stood outside Liang Xuan's door and rang the doorbell for 5 minutes, but no one opened the door.Cheng Xiaonan said from the side: "Did they forget?"

Lu Xin: "Last night, Li Yichu called us hundreds of times and asked us to come early. I guess it's something temporary?"

Lu Xinben planned to take out his mobile phone and call to ask about the situation.There was a knock at the door, and Liang Xuan, with half of his hair standing on end, opened the door.

Liang Xuan welcomed them into the room with both hands: "I'm really sorry, I overslept and didn't hear the doorbell."

Lu Xin has long been used to dealing with Liang Xuan as a subordinate, and he suddenly became a friend. He was a little uncomfortable, so as soon as he entered the room, he brought the topic to Li Yichu: "Where is Yichu?"

Liang Xuan poured water for them, brought out fruits and dried fruits, and said with a smile: "Yi Chu is still sleeping, please sit down for a while, I'll call him."

Li Yichu used to sleep with a quilt covering half of his face, Liang Xuan sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his quilt off, pinched his earlobe with his hands, and said softly: "Yichu? Wake up, Lu Xin and the others are here."

Liang Xuan yelled a few times in a row, and Li Yichu only half-opened his eyes and looked at him in a daze.Liang Xuan smiled, lifted the quilt, picked him up and sent him to the bathroom.Li Yichu was still yawning, Liang Xuan squeezed toothpaste for him and said, "I'll call the store later, shall we go to the hot pot restaurant at noon?"

Li Yichu nodded.

Liang Xuan hurriedly washed up and went to the living room to chat with Lu Xin and the others.Before Lu Xin came here, he was still thinking that this meeting would probably be embarrassing to death, but he still had to come because of Li Yichu. Li Yichu had no parents, but Lu Xin didn't want Liang Xuan to think that Li Yichu didn't even have a friend, so he turned around and said "dump him." Just dump, bully if you say bully.Unexpectedly, his conjecture was completely overturned now.

Liang Xuan in front of him was completely different from the unkind technical director in the office. They chatted frankly and sincerely. When he mentioned Li Yichu's name, there was an undisguised smile on his brows and eyes. Xuan thought too badly.

Li Yichu woke up completely after washing his face. With his hands in the pockets of his pajamas, he walked slowly to the living room. Liang Xuan handed him the freshly made milk: "We'll leave after drinking the milk."

It was the weekend, and the hotpot restaurant was booming. Liang Xuan walked in front and took them to the private room. Lu Xin asked Li Yichu, "What seat did you book in advance?"

Li Yichu raised his eyebrows: "No need to order, this is my shop."

Lu Xin's eyes widened: "What are you kidding?"

Liang Xuan heard Li Yichu's words, turned around and said with a smile, "I'm not joking, Yichu is the owner of this store."

Lu Xin: "Where did you get the money to open the hot pot restaurant? Honestly tell me how much public money you have been greedy for in the past few years?"

Li Yichu looked at Liang Xuan: "Liang Xuan pays, I will be the boss."

Lu Xin said, "I've never seen a sugar daddy who is as confident as you."

Cheng Xiaonan especially likes to eat shrimp slippery and tripe, so Lu Xin specially ordered two more dishes for her.Seeing this, Li Yichu smiled and said, "Aren't you losing weight?"

Cheng Xiaonan rolled his eyes at Li Yichu: "You said you never confessed to us that you don't want girls, thanks to the fact that I've been helping you with blind dates."

Li Yichu immediately raised his hands to promise: "In the future, you two can come to the restaurant to eat at any time, and I will be responsible for all the bills."

Cheng Xiaonan took the menu and unceremoniously ordered a few plates of the most expensive dishes.

Liang Xuan saw that the three of them had such a good relationship, and thought of having them by Li Yichu's side all these years, he just felt that even if Cheng Xiaonan asked him for this shop now, Liang Xuan would give it to her without blinking an eye.

The hot pot restaurant originally only served hot pot dishes. Not long ago, under the suggestion of Li Yichu, chefs were introduced, and they began to provide various staple foods and side dishes, such as deep-fried shrimp balls and squid rings, which can alleviate the spicy taste. Once the menu was updated, it was very popular. Customers welcome.Liang Xuan ordered a purple potato cake for Li Yichu to eat before eating hot pot, so as not to hurt his stomach by eating spicy food on an empty stomach.

Lu Xin asked Li Yichu in the middle of the meal: "You have to explain to me what the two of you are planning. If you just play around, I won't be able to eat this meal."

Li Yichu smiled: "Eat at ease. I will tell you about my tragic past later, so don't cry."

When Lu Xin and Li Yichu lived together, they would occasionally ask about his family affairs while chatting. Li Yichu always avoided answering. Realizing that perhaps Liang Xuan's appearance was not accidental, he should be one of Li Yichu's past.

Lu Xin understands the reason why people are not as good as before, and now he is relieved.

The four chatted very speculatively, and they didn't leave the hot pot restaurant until after three o'clock in the afternoon after a meal.Lu Xin and Cheng Xiaonan said goodbye to them, and Liang Xuan dragged Li Yichu into the car and went home.

Hot pot is such a thing that you don’t realize how full you are when you eat it, and you will feel full after eating it.Li Yi felt stomach bloating when he first got in the car, so Liang Xuan suggested driving to a nearby university for a walk to digest.

Both of them were wearing casual clothes, and they looked very young. Walking on the university campus, no one could tell that they had been working for several years.

Liang Xuan and Li Yichu walked around the school, and finally found a lawn to sit down.Liang Xuan held Li Yichu's hand: "Yichu, do you still want to go to university?"

Li Yichu didn't expect such a question to come up suddenly, looked at the students walking in the distance, thought for a while and said, "I don't want to."

Liang Xuan was a little surprised: "You don't have to worry about it. If you want, you can quit your job and study. I will accompany you."

Li Yichu looked at Liang Xuan with his hands on his head, and smiled for a while: "I knew you would do this."

Li Yichu knew that once the past was confessed, Liang Xuan would definitely suffer psychologically.These days, Li Yichu was about to be raised by Liang Xuan as an idiot. He took care of all the big and small things at work, and he did all the daily going in and out, dressing and changing shoes, and he wanted to feed a spoonful of food into Li Yichu's mouth.

Li Yichu was taken care of by Liang Xuan meticulously when he was a child, and now Liang Xuan is even better than when he was a child.He knew that Liang Xuan would definitely want to find a way to compensate him, but he knew better that if he missed a lot of things, he would miss it. Now that he goes to university, his mood and experience will be completely different from those of the past, and it is meaningless at all.

What's more, he is now gradually realizing the career that others can only rely on the university as a springboard. Looking back, he no longer has such deep regrets.

Liang Xuan also laughed: "It's my imagination."

Li Yichu looked at the passers-by. The lawn they were sitting on was a little far from the road, and the students passing by couldn't see them clearly.Li Yichu tilted his body and fell on Liang Xuan's lap, Liang Xuan hurriedly hugged him.

Li Yichu looked at him: "Liang Xuan, to be honest, I also resented when I was very tired or missed you. The objects of resentment include fate, Uncle Liang, and Aunt Liu. Years to get revenge on your family, but I can't do it, I don't even feel that they owe me. Do you know why?"

Liang Xuan looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Li Yichu had a smile on his lips: "Because of you. As long as you are by my side, I can forget everything about the past few years."

The company's headquarters issued a notice after the year that the business volume in Shanghai is expanding year by year, and the branch should expand in scale. The headquarters intends to allow the branch to gradually realize independent profit and loss. After all, the current market in Shanghai is almost catching up with Beijing.

After the announcement, the leaders of the branch were very happy, but Chen An's pressure suddenly increased. He had undergone surgery the year before last, and his body could no longer bear the heavy workload, so he applied to be transferred to the branch. The department is about to leave the headquarters, and the position of general manager is becoming more and more difficult to sit. It is not a good thing for his current physical condition.

Chen An has worked with Liang Xuan for half a year, and after several in-depth talks, he also knows that he does not plan to return to Beijing, so Liang Xuan is the most suitable position for the general manager of the branch.Liang Xuan's current technical director position is actually equal to that of the general manager, but he feels that he has little qualifications, so he respects Chen An as a leader.Chen An has worked in the company for many years, and he has feelings and responsibilities for the company. Before leaving, he still wants to find a suitable successor for the company.

So before he got off work, Chen An asked Liang Xuan to have a few drinks at night.

Liang Xuan looked at the message sent by Chen An on the screen, and he could guess Chen An's purpose without thinking too much. After he came to the branch, he had the most contact with Chen An at work. Chen An's current physical condition and his desire to retire, Liang Xuan It was felt a long time ago.

In fact, according to the company's process, middle-level leaders compete for employment, and senior leaders are usually finalized by the board of directors. Liang Xuan is no different from the general manager in the branch now. It is not very attractive for him to remove the title of technical director and switch to the management. force.

But Chen An's invitation cannot be turned down, Liang Xuan intends to listen to his thoughts.

Li Yichu went home alone after get off work. There were yesterday's leftovers in the refrigerator. He warmed them up in the microwave and took them to the study to eat.After the two returned from He County, Liang Xuan's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. In less than two weeks, Liang Xuan's cooking skills were already comparable to those of hotel chefs.Li Yi was spoiled at first, and now he would rather eat Liang Xuan's leftovers than eat his own.

However, Li Yichu didn't know until later that Liang Xuan went to the hotel every lunch break to learn from a teacher. Frying, steaming and cooking are easy to learn, but knife skills can't be practiced overnight. Liang Xuan was eager to learn, so he cut his finger once. There are still scars on my hands.

Li Yichu ate while working, and soon forgot to put food in his mouth.We can't blame him, it's really a lot of things at the beginning of the year, if he doesn't work overtime, he will be stalked to death by his subordinates tomorrow.

Liang Xuan returned home and followed the lights to the study. Li Yichu stared at the screen, his fingers were crackling, and he didn't lift his head: "I'm back."

Liang Xuan walked to the table and saw the cold bibimbap on the side, then looked down at the files on the computer, and ran his hands through his hair: "I haven't eaten yet, I'll cook noodles for you."

Li Yichu said loudly: "I want to bring soup!"

Liang Xuan pursed his lips and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Yichu sat in front of the computer for another 10 minutes, finally settled everything, stretched his waist and went to the kitchen to find Liang Xuan.Liang Xuan was putting shrimps into the noodles, Li Yichu hugged him from behind, yawning: "I'm going to go blind."

Liang Xuan stirred the noodles with one hand, and covered Li Yishu's hand with the other to prevent the soup from splashing on his hands. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I want to help you, but you don't want to."

Li Yichu had an itchy nose, turned his head and wiped his face with the clothes on Liang Xuan's back.

Liang Xuan put green vegetables and fresh shrimp noodles into a bowl, and dragged his tail to the dining table.

Liang Xuan watched him eating noodles, thought about what he had just talked with Chen An, thought for a while and asked Li Yichu: "Yichu, Mr. Chen said tonight that he wanted to apply to the headquarters for promoting a deputy general manager to help him. After working for two more years, I will resign, and the branch will be handed over to the vice president, who do you think is suitable?"

Li Yichu was puzzled: "The vice president has to decide on the board, it doesn't count if I say it."

Liang Xuan: "If you choose from among the middle-level leaders of the branch company, who do you think will have a role?"

Li Yichu thought about it and said: "The branch company only has these department managers. Although Lao Zhou has rich experience, he is not motivated; the people in Manager Gu's department can't keep it, which shows that the management is not enough to convince the public; Manager Yan is quite suitable... "

Li Yichu counted the leaders one by one, and when he finished speaking, Liang Xuan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Xuan put his hands on the table: "What about you? Do you think you are suitable?"

Li Yichu waved his hand subconsciously: "Don't be kidding, I can't pass the company's test with one degree of education first."

Liang Xuan: "Don't think about that, do you want to sit in that seat?"

The chopsticks in Li Yichu's hand paused for a moment, and he quickly lowered his head to eat the noodles again.Why don't you want to?Which man is not ambitious?It's just that these years have passed, and he has long known that some things are natural moats. Unless he is rich enough to start his own company and be the boss, otherwise in this competitive environment, it is a miracle that he, a high school graduate, can get to where he is today. Apart from sitting firmly in this position, he didn't dare to hope for heights.

Liang Xuan understood Li Yichu's thoughts from his subtle expression, and he said softly, "The headquarters is not as rigid as you imagined. For a big boss, subordinates who can make money are much more useful than the so-called highly educated."

Li Yichu had a smile on his face: "Why do you think so much, the senior leaders are appointed directly by the board of directors, we just watch the fun."

Liang Xuan took out a tissue to wipe his mouth clean, leaned over and kissed his forehead: "Go take a shower, I'll go after cleaning the kitchen."

Li Yichu took a shower and lay down on the bed. He wanted to wait for Liang Xuan, but he was so tired that he tilted his head and fell asleep as soon as he reached the head of the bed.Liang Xuan dried his hair and went into the bedroom, walked to the bedside and bent down to move Li Yichu down from the bedside.Liang Xuan didn't feel sleepy at the moment, he looked at the face in his arms, and kept thinking about what Chen An said today.Chen An wanted him to serve as the vice president concurrently, but Liang Xuan's candidate was Li Yichu.

Of the several departments in the branch, Li Yichu's planning department was the most united and efficient in doing things.According to Liang Xuan's observation, the people in the planning department really liked the leader Li Yichu.Li Yichu has worked in the company for several years, and he is more suitable for the position of vice president than Liang Xuan.But Liang Xuan knew the company's articles of association, the vice president had to be selected by the board of directors, and the board members could only see people from the headquarters, and it was absolutely impossible to pick people from the branch.

Liang Xuan lowered his head and touched Li Yichu's forehead with his lips, then kissed the tip of his nose, and smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth. He knew that he had restrained himself for too long, and now he finally didn't need to use "hate" to pretend, and often stared at him. Li Yichu took a second look and wanted to hold him in his arms and kiss him. Although he wished that Li Yichu would stay at home, eat, drink and have fun without worrying about anything, he knew that Li Yichu didn't want to live that kind of life.Li Yichu was able to stand up little by little in such a situation back then, he was far more tenacious than Liang Xuan thought before.If you let him stay by your side and live like a canary in a cage, it's not loving him, but torturing him.
