Chapter 21

Three years later.

In the Ocean Hotel in H City, China, Chen Fu, who had just returned to China, tore off the tie around his neck, and plunged into the big soft bed, sighing contentedly.

Chinese people are generally careful and cautious when negotiating contracts. Before signing a contract, they always have to confirm it again and again before they can rest assured. There is nothing wrong with being cautious, but sometimes it hurts yourself and your partner.

This is the third time that Chen Fu has gone to China. The company he cooperates with is a very large company. That company wants to develop abroad, and Chen Fu’s company decided to expand its development direction to China after several votes. , So the two companies were eyeing each other at the same time. They thought it should be a one-off cooperation, but they didn't want to negotiate several times.

Those conditions don’t seem too much, but they have a very bad impact on Fu Sunset’s long-term development in China. Although Fu Sunset’s foreign affairs director—a beautiful Caucasian lady, thinks those conditions are not too much, but just to be on the safe side, I still I made some reports with Chen Fu, Chen Fu checked it out after reading it, and immediately told the white lady not to sign.

Later, the company decided to take the white lady back, and several powerful company veterans hoped that Chen Fu, who was also a Chinese, would negotiate this time.

Chen Fu thought for a moment, agreed, and flew to China with his assistants.

The subsequent few negotiations were not very pleasant, and the other party's favorability value was completely consumed, so Chen Fu decided to give up this cooperation opportunity.

He declined the next few negotiations, packed his things and returned to the United States.

The other party felt Chen Fu's anger, but he still didn't restrain himself, and invited Chen Fu to visit China several times. On the third occasion, Chen Fu didn't want to offend him completely, so he went anyway.

The second time was when the chairman of the company personally accompanied Chen Fu on a trip in China. The middle-aged man in his 40s kindly and considerately arranged everything for Chen Fu. He apologized several times before finally letting Chen Fu go. It's crazy. When Chen Fu returned to the United States, he didn't mention the cooperation again.

Chen Fu originally thought that the cooperation matter should be over. When Chen Fu found another house half a month later, the other party sent another invitation letter, sincerely inviting him to attend Chairman He's 45th birthday party.

So Chen Fu took the company's director of foreign affairs, the Caucasian lady Kaylee, back to China.

When they arrived in China, Chairman He had thoughtfully booked a hotel for them. After going back and forth from the United States to China several times, Chen Fu's jet lag was already so out of order that he wanted to sleep when he saw the bed falling over.

However, Kaylee still retained her rationality, and when Chen Fu fell asleep for less than half an hour, she called him again and woke him up.

"Boss, Mr. Zhong followed us to China."

Chen Fu suddenly raised his eyelids that were glued together, and asked again: "Who?!"

"Mr. Zhong Ji Ming Zhong, he still brought Master Ethan with him."

"..." Chen Fu rubbed his throbbing temples tiredly, and asked her again after a long time: "How do you know? You colluded with them in advance?"

"No no no," Kaylee quickly denied, "I just saw them in the hall just now, absolutely no collusion."

"...I can tell from your tone that you are lying."

There was a miraculous silence over there, and then the clear female voice reminded him kindly: "...Mr. Zhong is estimated to arrive at your room in one minute. Boss wishes you a good time, goodbye."

Chen Fu: "..." I really want to replace this assistant.

He looked at the messy bed in a daze for a moment, then heard a knock on the door from outside, and buried his head in the quilt agitatedly.

The doorbell rang intermittently for a long time, and finally Chen Fu was defeated, and resigned himself to his fate, he got up from the bed and opened the door.

Before the door opened even a crack, Zhong Jiming couldn't wait to hold Chen Kai, who was only three years old, and squeezed in. Chen Fu staggered and sighed.

"Chen Fu, you'd better explain to me why you came to China without telling me again and again, don't you even want Xiaoxiang?"

Chen Fu rubbed his eyes in pain: "Is there anything I need to say to you? And didn't I tell you not to get close to my son before? Now you even abducted my son!"

Zhong Ziming put Chen Kaili with brown curly hair on the sofa. The child opened a pair of big eyes. The color of the pupils of the eyes is neither brown nor blue. It is a color close to gray but a bit light. very beautiful.

Being looked at by Chen Kai like this, no matter how angry he was, Chen Fu knelt down and frowned and asked him: "Dad said that he would return to the United States to accompany you soon? You Why are you disobedient?"

The child pursed his lips stubbornly, with tears in his eyes: "You have never gone out so often, I miss you."

He does not speak English fluently in Chinese, because Chen Fu taught him that it is more polite to speak the language of that country when he goes to other countries.

Chen Fu's heart softened uncontrollably, and he still educated him: "Then you can't come out casually with someone who doesn't know everything? You are only three years old, do you know how dangerous it is?"

"Uncle Zhong is good...a good man! I know it!"

"How do you know he's a good guy? What if he's not?"

"I saw the two of you together, what is that? Kiss! I know, Uncle Zhong is fine!"

Chen Fu was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he knew that Chen Kai seemed to have seen the two of them kissing accidentally, which made him feel that Zhong Jiming had a close relationship with him, could be trusted, and regarded him as a good person.

"Ethan, sometimes even if two people kiss, you still can't tell that person is a good person?"

"Aren't you very good, good friends like husband and wife?"

Chen Fu coughed again in embarrassment: "No."

"Then why do you want to kiss?"

Chen Fu choked and was speechless.

Zhong Jiming laughed sullenly, "Fu, look, your son is complaining about me."

Chen Fu almost surrendered helplessly.

When it comes to arguing and reasoning, he has never been someone else's opponent. It's okay to scold people if you provoke him, but he can't make sense of his own logic when educating people and reasoning. How can he educate others?

Zhong Jiming said that they had been flying all day and they didn't have a good meal. Chen Fu was afraid that his son would be hungry, so he asked Zhong Jiming to drive to a noodle restaurant.

There were not many people in the noodle shop, and in a small restaurant, there were only a few people sitting around, because the office workers hadn't left work yet.

Zhong Jiming helped the father and son get spoons and chopsticks, and ordered three bowls of hot and dry noodles, and then sat down to help Chen Kairu play with the chopsticks.

In fact, Chen Kaisi has eaten Chinese food cooked by his auntie since he was a child, and he is also very skilled in using chopsticks. However, Zhong Jiming carefully scalded him with hot tea before handing it to him. He also wanted to help him. Chen Fu fiddled with it, but was rejected by Chen Fu.

Zhong Jiming could only stare at him aggrievedly.

Chen Fu turned his head away from him, and quickly ironed the bowls and chopsticks for himself.

Zhong Ji became more aggrieved, and hummed softly.

The proprietress quickly brought up the hot noodles, and the two adults gave the first bowl of noodles to Chen Kaisi, while Zhong Jiming dragged his cheeks and looked at him affectionately.

Seen by such eyes, Chen Kai seemed a bit unable to swallow.

Fortunately, the other two bowls of noodles were on the table soon. The three of them hadn't eaten all day. The aroma of the noodles whetted the appetite. Zhong Jiming sniffed it with enjoyment, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

The three of them ate very quietly. In the past, Zhong Jiming would find topics to chat with Chen Fu while eating, but after looking at his gloomy face, he realized that he didn't seem to like people talking while eating, so from then on Shut up.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and Chen Fu was quite happy to be able to enjoy the food quietly.

Halfway through the meal, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened, and a man and a woman came in. It was nothing at all, a restaurant has to entertain guests, but the woman was so noisy that she kept chattering endlessly as soon as she entered the door. Complaining that the man couldn't find a better place for her to eat, and that she didn't like noodles, Chen Fu instantly lost his interest in eating.

He put down his chopsticks and quietly looked at Chen Kaisi in front of him.

That meant to urge him to eat quickly, Chen Kai seemed to speed up the speed of eating noodles a little bit, although he really wanted to roll his reserved eyes at Chen Fu, but he really didn't have the courage.

The man and the woman walked towards Chen Fu's direction, but the chattering gradually became weaker and disappeared behind Chen Fu.

Zhong Jiming frowned, and stared behind Chen Fu displeasedly.

Chen Fu followed his gaze and turned his head to see who was behind him. His heart suddenly jumped and he scraped off the chopsticks on the table with his elbow.

Chen Fu bent down to pick it up, but the person behind him picked it up first and put it on the table.

Chen Fu let out a deep breath, "Thank you."

Fu Liangjing stared fixedly at his face, and said after a long time, "You're welcome."

The voice was a little hoarse, and the three words seemed to be squeezed out from the throat. Such a difficult tone even made Chen Fu feel momentarily in a trance.

Then he pointed to the empty seat next to Chen Fu and asked, "Can I sit here?"

Chen Fu didn't expect him to make such a request, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Okay," he got up, "Zhong Jiming, you go and pay the bill, Xiao Si, we should go."

"No, no, that's not what I meant," Fu Liangjing hurriedly stopped him, with a rare anxious look on his face, "Can we sit together?"

Chen Fu walked around him and took Chen Kai's hand: "Sorry, we should go."

"Chen Fu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, can we talk?"

Chen Fu did not refuse him, and smiled at the chattering woman behind him, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's not very convenient to meet each other suddenly, shall we talk another day?"

"Then leave a contact information?"

Chen Fu handed him a business card, and Zhong Jiming came over after paying the bill, and looked at Fu Liangjing suspiciously, with inexplicable hostility in his eyes.

Several people passed by, Chen Fu took Chen Kaisi by the hand, and before leaving, he didn't look back at Fu Liangjing who was standing there in a daze.

When he came back to China and ran into the person he didn't want to see, Chen Fu didn't seem to say anything, he just did what he wanted, coaxed Chen Kai to go to sleep, and continued to work in front of the computer.

There are always a lot of people staying up late and carnival in the bustling city. The late night seems to be more lively than the daytime, and the lights are spotty, more beautiful than the stars in the sky.

Chen Fu was distracted by the documents, and really wanted to get a pack of bombs and blow up the company headquarters in the United States directly, so that everyone would be clean.

This kind of thinking has been there since the night when he took over the company on the first day. The company's veterans rely on the old to sell the old, without any self-respect as an old man.

But in reality, Chen Fu could only restrain himself and continue arguing with those smiling tigers, circling in various traps.

Fu Liangjing was also unable to sleep.

After he met Chen Fu in that noodle shop, he seemed to lose his soul.

The woman next to Fu Liangjing was a blind date arranged by his father. He felt that his father's taste had become worse and worse in the past few years. This kind of woman could catch his eye, so he was really pushed.

After leaving the noodle shop and dismissing the woman, he just sat in the car in a daze.

The car was parked on the side of the road, and pedestrians and vehicles came and went, but no one caught his eyes.

Fu Liangjing had been looking for Chen Fu for more than five years. When he was about to despair, God sent Chen Fu to him.

In the past five years, he has been living in guilt. At that time, Chen Fu was hospitalized, and he went to cut off relations with that woman, but he didn't want that woman to take away a large part of the company's property, causing the company to fall into chaos.

In the first two weeks, Fu Liangjing didn't even have time to go home. He even had to sleep in the company at night. He was working eighteen hours a day. He couldn't open his sleepy eyelids every day. Drink coffee and hold on.

Getting through that crisis in a hurry, Fu Liangjing almost wanted to tear that woman in half.

When he returned to the "home" where he lived with Chen Fu, it was already empty.

The furniture in the house was even covered with a layer of dust, and the blood stains on the floor were still left, like rust, spread on the floor, so gloomy that it was no longer dazzling, and it was hard to see that it was a puddle unless you looked carefully. blood.

Their warm home once looked like an abandoned house that had been abandoned for several years and no one wanted it.

In fact, when Chen Fu left, he didn't take many things with him at all. To him at that time, carrying a lot of things was of no great significance except to increase the burden.

He didn't clean up the room any more, leaving it in a mess.

Standing in the center of the living room, Fu Liangjing could suddenly feel how desperate Chen Fu was when he left.

His mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

After a long while, he came to his senses and rushed to the hospital.

In the hospital, Chen Fu's ward had changed hands.

It was an old man, quietly waiting to die in the ward, with the desolation in his eyes after all the vicissitudes of life, without the slightest fear of the imminent death.

The only remaining hope was so shattered.

Fu Liangjing didn't understand, he was obviously tired of this person, his feelings were almost exhausted, his freshness was long gone, and even before that, he had already reached the point where he was out of sight.

But why as soon as he left, everything went wrong in an instant.

There is no kind of luck to get rid of a burden, and some are full of panic and anxiety.

Fu Liangjing went back to the abandoned house, trying to find a few words left by Chen Fu in the house, even a little clue.

But he found nothing.

So Fu Liangjing sat on the sofa, blankly recalling the scene of the two before they separated.

My heart felt suddenly empty.

He didn't even know what was going on with this empty feeling, he could only rub his fingers anxiously, and after a while he stood up again, trying to clean up.

But for a young master like him who never touched the sun since he was a child, sweeping the floor is so difficult.

The dust was swept all over the sky, and some fell on the sofa furniture.

His clothes were also dirty and no one washed him.

Fu Liangjing stopped sweeping the floor and stood there blankly.

After a while, he suddenly rushed out of the house.

He asked the cleaning lady to clean up, took off his clothes and sent them to the dry cleaners.

He worked late at the company, and when he came home, he saw that the house was cleaned spotlessly, and the clothes were neatly stacked in the closet.

It seems to be a little bit like before, but the person waiting for him is gone.

Fu Liangjing tried his best to ignore the sudden surge of emotions in his heart, went into the bedroom, and fell asleep with his head buried.

With no body temperature around him, it took him a long time to fall asleep.

Later, Fu Liangjing learned to do housework and cook by himself, but he was always a bit powerless when working.

I didn't work so hard, but the company's performance began to rise.

Occasionally drinking with big cattle clients to develop interpersonal relationships, the beautiful and enchanting ladies do their best to please the benefactor, the warm, fragrant and soft jade is still so beautiful, but Fu Liangjing can't bring up the desire for pleasure.

Fu Liangjing tried to cheer himself up.

He made himself work late every day, he scratched off all his vacations, and was as busy as a robot.

He drank strong alcohol late at night, trying to get himself drunk, and was able to fall asleep completely.

Sometimes he could dream of Chen Fu, and in the dream the two of them hadn't separated, and Chen Fu was still so humble and doting on him.

But when he woke up, everything felt empty, and Fu Liangjing fell into an even more fearful mood.

Later he realized that he needed Chen Fu very much.

So he spent a lot of money looking for Chen Fu all over the country.

China has a population of 13 billion. Finding someone who has no information is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As expected, the message fell into disarray, and there has been no reply.

Sometimes he would think about whether to post a missing person notice, just like looking for a pet, there will always be people who are greedy for money to find Chen Fu and drag him to him.

He did the same thing. Chen Fu's photo had been published in newspapers for several years, and people gave him information one after another, but after he went there, he was always disappointed to find that it was not his Chen Fu.

After turning upside down for several years, Fu Liangjing was almost exhausted.

Sometimes he even wondered if there was something wrong with his mentality, he couldn't get interested in doing anything, and went crazy to find someone who had left.

He was less and less afraid to go to the room where they used to live together, and the memories of the past were about to drown him.

That room seemed to be submerged in the deep sea. As soon as Fu Liangjing stepped into the door, everything that had happened inside would be swept away like salty sea water. He couldn't breathe, his heart seemed to be crushed. I twisted a knot, and it hurt so much that I couldn't stand still.

But he still dare not leave.

What if one day Chen Fu suddenly came over to take a look?

When he came to look at it, he found that the house was completely abandoned. Would he be sad?

Fu Liangjing was still thinking about staying here and waiting for someone who couldn't come back.

Year after year, he waited until the company grew from one floor to one building, two buildings, and two branches, until everyone around him knew that he was gay, and the person who turned him into gay still didn't Check back.

Until now, when he was sitting in the car, his body was still slightly trembling, as if he had been shocked by a small electric current, leaving him numb and in a trance.

He regretted not following Chen Fu to see where he lived and how he had changed.

Fortunately, I left a business card.

Fu Liangjing's palms seemed to tremble a little, and he gently held the business card with Chen Fu's name and contact information engraved on it, his eyes were filled with warmth after the strong emotional ups and downs.

It was like hope was kindled.

The author has something to say: Well, I finally started to abuse the attack, and I am very happy~

However, when school starts today, when I think about it this way, I'm not happy anymore...
