Chapter 9: Signing a contract and catching the kid alone to fleece him...
Lu Chiyuan only stayed in the hospital for one day. After the examination showed no major problems, he was discharged the next day.
Jiang Chen stayed with him in the hospital all night and didn't go home. When he felt tired, he rested on the accompanying bed.
When he woke up and looked up, Lu Chiyuan had already taken a shower, changed into a new suit, and had his hair neatly combed. He stood tall in front of him, putting on a watch. The morning light cast a hazy glow on him.
Seeing that he was awake, Lu Chiyuan glanced at the time and said, "You still have fifteen minutes to wash up. Hurry up and pack up and come back to the company with me."
Jiang Chen was not fully awake yet. He was dazed, with a few strands of his soft hair sticking up from sleeping. He responded in a daze, sitting on the bed.
Lu Chiyuan put on his watch, put down his sleeves, picked up a paper bag from the chair in front of him and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "These are new clothes, remember to change into them."
Jiang Chen opened the bag and took a look. It was an expensive suit with a shirt, tie and watch.
Jiang Chen woke up and remembered that Lu Chiyuan said last night that he would take him to the company today to sign the contract first. He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that any time would be fine. But it turned out to be the normal working time?
He got up only after Lu Chiyuan had finished packing and brought him a set of clothes. He didn't dare to imagine what Lu Chiyuan was thinking while he was washing.
He was such a time-conscious person, but no one woke him up.
Jiang Chen didn't dare to ask more questions. He picked up his clothes and rushed into the bathroom. As soon as he closed the door, he could only hear the sound of water. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, took a shower, and washed his hair as quickly as possible.
When he came out of the bathroom, only half of the time set by Lu Chiyuan had passed.
Lu Chiyuan was sitting on a chair waiting for him. When he heard the sound, he looked up and his eyes lit up.
The tailored suit fits Jiang Chen's body curves, from shoulder to waist, it is a perfect inverted triangle. His body fat is well controlled, and his muscles are firm but not exaggerated. He is the type who looks thin when dressed and has flesh when undressed.
Jiang Chen had a kind of calmness that his original self didn't have. He walked out of the bathroom and took two steps, lazy and casual, like a young man who was naive and casual.
"Brother Lu, I'm done, let's go."
Lu Chiyuan's eyes swept over his tie and watch. He handled it very well and dressed appropriately, which saved Lu Chiyuan the trouble of training him slowly.
Lu Chiyuan looked at his hair again. The soft hair was wiped into a semi-dry state, but because of the moisture, it did not have the effect of being slightly curled.
It can be seen that Jiang Chen doesn't take care of his hair much. Maybe he just lets his hair grow naturally on weekdays.
That's fine, it's acceptable.
Lu Chiyuan was quite satisfied, and stood up and said, "Let's go, leave the unimportant things here, someone will come in and clean them up."
Jiang Chen responded and followed Lu Chiyuan out.
If Jiang Chen was wondering what it meant to have someone clean up before leaving the house, then the moment he opened the door, Jiang Chen knew what it meant to have someone clean up.
The corridor that was empty yesterday was now lined with bodyguards, and in front of the bodyguards were servants in work clothes. The leader was an elderly man, about fifty years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a slicked-back hair and a few strands of silver hair on his temples.
He looked kind and smiling.
Lu Chiyuan nodded and greeted him, saying, "Uncle Lin, I'll leave this to you."
Lin He said: "Don't worry, young master, it's all a small matter."
Lin He is the housekeeper of the Lu family's old house. When the two elders of the Lu family are not around, he is responsible for taking care of everything in the old house.
After Lu's parents learned that Lu Chiyuan had been in a car accident, they contacted Lin He, and it was Lu Chiyuan who asked them to come again today.
Jiang Chen was a little dumbfounded. He followed Lu Chiyuan's footsteps. There were three bodyguards in front and three behind him. If he hadn't been surrounded in the middle, he would have thought they were filming a movie.
Oh, no, there were only two of them yesterday. Where did these people come from?
[Did I sleep that deeply? Did I miss the plot?] Jiang Chen didn't understand.
Snowball said: [I don’t understand either, host. I think you need a thoughtful wake-up service. Kitty can provide it for free.]
Jiang Chen didn't say anything, and Xueqiu felt bored. He sighed and said, "Well, actually it's your kids who told them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb you."
The Lu family is wealthy and powerful, with a butler, servants, and bodyguards. This is actually a very normal situation.
If you want to talk about strangeness, it would be that Lu Chiyuan didn't call anyone yesterday, but stayed with Jiang Chen and ate the meal he ordered from outside. That's what's strange.
Jiang Chen had mixed feelings.
The assets in the book are a string of numbers, and he now has a real sense of this.
Lu Chiyuan's driver drove the car downstairs early and waited. When he saw Lu Chiyuan coming, he quickly got out of the car to help him open the door.
Lu Chiyuan got in. Jiang Chen was just hesitating whether to sit in the front or the back when Lu Chiyuan called him to get in.
The driver didn't find it strange. He took a small step back and invited Jiang Chen to get in the car. The bodyguard followed him, and the others got in the back car.
After the car drove out, Jiang Chen still felt a little dizzy. He looked out the window and saw that the sun was still shining brightly today.
The working hours of Universal Group are 9 o'clock in the morning. When Jiang Chen and his friends arrived at 8:30, many people had already come to the company.
The working atmosphere in the company is relatively harmonious. Everyone is chatting and laughing while waiting for the elevator downstairs, holding a cup of coffee and breakfast in their hands, chatting about gossip and family matters.
As Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan appeared, they immediately became the focus of the crowd.
Everyone looked over at the same time, greeted him, and looked at Jiang Chen curiously.
After all, in their memories, there were only those two familiar faces around Lu Chiyuan, and there were very few people they didn't know who were so close to Lu Chiyuan.
Jiang Chen avoided the gazes of these people somewhat uncomfortably. In his original body's memory, he had been to the company several times, but he was always in the leisure area downstairs and had not entered the office area on the upper floor.
This was his first appearance in the company.
As the elevator door opened, everyone unanimously let Lu Chiyuan go first. After Lu Chiyuan brought Jiang Chen in, everyone entered in an orderly manner.
Perhaps it was because of the unique aura brought by the president, the elevator was very quiet, the topics just discussed were forgotten, and everyone quietly went to their posts as the elevator opened and closed.
Finally, only Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen were left in the elevator, and they went straight to the top floor.
This floor is Lu Chiyuan's office and rest area. Apart from work reports, only two special assistants come up here on weekdays.
Jiang Chen stood in the office and looked out. The view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was extremely broad. The scenery of the central area came into view, and high-rise buildings rose from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Lu Chiyuan walked to his seat, turned on his computer, dialed the internal line, and said a few words.
Soon, the elevator opened and closed, and a young man in a professional gray suit walked in with a document in his hand. He had neat short hair dyed silver and wore gold earrings, looking bright and flamboyant.
He handed the document to Lu Chiyuan, leaned forward slightly while holding onto the table, and said, "President Lu, you should know that it's not working hours yet. Are you afraid that no one will answer the internal line?"
"Lu Mingxuan said that you stayed to work overtime last night, so I thought you must be here." Lu Chiyuan opened the file to check.
The young man touched his hair and said, "Since both of you are not here, someone has to stay to look after the house."
Lu Chiyuan said: "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Come and take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it."
Lu Chiyuan's office was completely open and there was no cover. The young man noticed Jiang Chen's presence from the beginning but didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing Lu Chiyuan calling him at this moment, he realized that the contract in his hand was for Jiang Chen, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, with a little surprise in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking back at Lu Chiyuan with amusement: "So he is Jiang Chen... is your taste."
The suit, watch, and even tie that Jiang Chen was wearing were all from the same niche brand as the ones Lu Chiyuan was wearing. Even if most people wanted to follow the trend, they wouldn't be so idle as to spend money on one.
Not to mention that some things cannot be bought even with money.
Lu Chiyuan explained: "He stayed with me in the hospital yesterday and didn't go home, so I asked Uncle Lin to prepare a set of clothes for him."
"Oh~" the young man said in a long tone, which made him look even more frivolous, "He actually stayed with you all night."
Lu Chiyuan raised his eyebrows, this sounded a bit strange.
But before he could think about it, Jiang Chen came over.
Lu Chiyuan handed him the document and pen, and introduced him: "This is Special Assistant Xu, Xu Chen. After you sign the contract, he will take you to familiarize yourself with the company and some of your work processes. Lu Mingxuan is not here, so you can ask him if you have any questions."
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this and looked up at Xu Chen.
[Xu Chen? The male protagonist's younger brother. Before he was found and returned to Gu's house, he was working at Zizi's company? Snowball, is this world a place where you can only take advantage of Zizi? ]
The perspective of the book focuses on the encounter between the hero and heroine, and later characters will not appear too early.
After Jiang Chen entered this world, he has been following Lu Chiyuan and has been in contact with these characters continuously.
He felt a little weird.
Lu Chiyuan was looking at documents on the computer and looked up in surprise when he heard the voice.
Xu Chen is Gu Tingsen's younger brother? How is this possible?
His mother and Aunt Xu were close friends, so he and Xu Chen had known each other since childhood and knew his family situation. Aunt Xu had a family, and the couple loved each other very much. Xu Chen was their only child, and she had never heard of any discord between them.
Xu Chen felt a little confused when Lu Chiyuan looked at him. He touched his face and took out the small mirror he carried with him to look at himself. He did not have any spots or wrinkles from staying up late. He was still as handsome and elegant as ever.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and pretended to look at the contract in his hand, listening to Xueqiu's explanation.
[As the second male lead, Lu Chiyuan has many helpers around him. In order to facilitate the male lead, the author of course tried hard to pull him. Xu Chen knew about his relationship with the Gu family, but he never thought about going back to the Gu family. You can see that the plot of him returning home was after Lu Mingxuan's death.]
Jiang Chen signed his name on the contract and handed the document to Lu Chiyuan.
[What does this have to do with Lu Mingxuan? ]
[He likes Lu Mingxuan! He came to be Lu Chiyuan's assistant because he wanted to be close to him, but Lu Mingxuan is a straight man.]
Jiang Chen's hands shook and he almost dropped the pen from the folder.
When a gay guy falls in love with a straight guy, it's destined to be unrequited love!
Lu Chiyuan was also surprised. No wonder Xu Chen didn't go to help his mother run the company, but insisted on coming to his company and even said that he didn't need to be paid because he just wanted to experience the working atmosphere.
It turns out that the real purpose is not to drink, he doesn't like the working atmosphere, he likes the people.
Xu Chen was sure that he was still as beautiful as a flower, so he put away the mirror contentedly, looked at Lu Chiyuan and said, "It's understandable that you didn't come to work because of the car accident, but why didn't Lu Mingxuan come?"
Lu Chiyuan was silent.
Under normal circumstances, he would have answered without hesitation, but now that he knew Xu Chen's thoughts, he hesitated a little and said, "He's broken up."
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, first to show sympathy, then he couldn't hold back his smile and gloated, "It's what he deserves. A man like him, who follows you around all the time, working all the time, and doesn't understand romance at all, who would like him?"
Jiang Chen said faintly: [You! ]
Snowball added: [Men are just stubborn.]
Lu Chiyuan remained silent.
Xu Chen had had enough of the jokes. He tapped the table with his fingers, rolled his eyes, and suddenly came up with a new idea: "President Lu, you two were not here yesterday, and I was working diligently at the company, more seriously than ever before. Can you give me a day off?"
"What are you going to do?" Lu Chiyuan looked at him warily. Seeing that he was smiling like a fox, he felt that something bad was going to happen.
Xu Chen covered his lips and yawned: "Go back and catch up on some sleep."
Jiang Chen saw through his little thoughts and said inwardly: [It doesn't seem like he's catching up on sleep, but more like he's going to sleep with Lu Mingxuan. ]
[Sleeping on Lu Mingxuan is sleeping, sleeping is also sleeping, it's all the same.] Xueqiu said, [What is this called? Taking advantage of the opportunity.]
Jiang Chen and Xueqiu happily ate melons and sang in unison.
Lu Chiyuan had a headache and did not agree: "You can sleep in the office, no one will disturb you, and when you wake up, take Jiang Chen to familiarize himself with the work position."
Jiang Chen said: "..."
I'm just eating a bite of melon, there's no need to attract hatred, right?
