002
Xi Jiang is a difficult person to understand, including the feelings he has for her.
For seven years, Xi Jiang had always taken good care of him. Even if a word from her accidentally angered a rich girl or a young master who liked Xi Jiang, Xi Jiang would not do anything to him.
Jiang Dan said that this was love, the affection that grew from long-term companionship, but Xu Yu didn't think so, not to mention that he discovered Xi Jiang's secret not long after.
Xi Jiang was good at collecting precious diamonds, which he hid in a secret room in his study. That was the first time Xi Jiang got angry, and he was so angry that he locked Xu Yu in the room for more than a month before letting him out.
Later, Xu Yu was not allowed to step into the vicinity of the study, not even into the guest room next to the study.
He didn't know why Xi Jiang was so angry. Even though he had been deliberately ignoring her before, his attitude was always gentle when he spoke to her.
Xu Yu observed and found that it was not love at all.
When Xi Jiang was having an affair with someone, she would generously give him gold, silver or pearl jewelry, but never gemstones.
Later, I heard from the eldest lady who scolded Xu Yu for being unpresentable that Xi Jiang liked diamonds because the person she liked also liked them.
Xu Yu believed it.
This was also the first time Xu Yu saw Xi Jiang give someone a diamond.
Zhu Wenxu: "Diamond?"
"I once stumbled into Mr. Xi's diamond collection hall. Most of the pieces there were of similar quality to Mr. Zhu's brooches. I'm not completely clueless, but I've observed them. I have some photos of gifts Mr. Xi gave to others, all of which are other high-end couture pieces. Mr. Zhu, please take a look..."
"No need." Zhu Wenxu interrupted, "I'm not interested."
Xu Yu took back the phone: "There may be a misunderstanding between President Xi and you."
"What kind of misunderstanding does Mr. Xu think this is? What kind of misunderstanding could inexplicably tie Mr. Xi and I together?"
"I mean..."
"Mr. Xi and I have met a few times before. We have different family backgrounds. If it's a misunderstanding, it's possible between family members, but it doesn't make sense to say it's a personal matter." Zhu Wenxu looked at Xu Yu, "But now I suspect there may be a misunderstanding between Mr. Xu and me."
“…”
"And it's not so deep, is it so deep that you think I came here to discuss cooperation to deliberately seduce Mr. Xi?"
Xu Yu looked up: "I didn't mean that."
"Mr. Xu knows very well whether there is one or not. If you hope not, it's best to treat what you just said as nothing."
"……Feel sorry."
It seems that Zhu Wenxu doesn't like Xi Jiang. Could it be that it was because Xi Jiang found out that he was a straight man that she couldn't fall in love with him?
Zhu Wenxu stood up, smoothed the wrinkles of his suit, and said with a cold expression, "I don't know how you guessed the relationship between him and me, but I want to remind you, Mr. Xu, that the mouth can cause trouble."
Mr. Xu stopped shouting.
A stark warning.
Xu Yu apologized again: "Sorry."
"If you're so anxious to find Mr. Xi a sweetheart, I suggest you print out a few posters of his and distribute them. Maybe a more suitable candidate will appear," Zhu Wenxu said. "As for cooperation, we'll talk about it later."
He took a long step, walked out of the lounge and left.
Jiang Dan came back with coffee: "Is Mr. Zhu gone?"
Xu Yu: "Let's go."
"You really sent this big Buddha away. I'm afraid of him. Brother Xu, eat more cookies. If you're hungry, tell me and I'll ask the kitchen to make some."
Xu Yu suddenly asked: "Has your brother never liked anyone before?"
"Others?" Jiang Danzhen thought seriously, "Doesn't he fall in love with every handsome guy he sees? But don't worry, Brother Xiao Xu. You've been by my brother's side for so long, you're definitely the winner!"
Winner?
He is still waiting to lose.
Xu Yu chewed the biscuits and lost his appetite again: "I'm going to see your brother, you should get some rest early."
Jiang Dan wanted to keep him, but then she thought of Xi Jiang's situation, so she stuffed a box of biscuits into his hand and told him to take it to Xi Jiang's room to eat.
After returning to the room, Xu Yu gave the biscuits to Assistant Zhao. Assistant Zhao felt relieved and didn't want to stay for a moment. He packed up his things, punched in and left.
Xu Yu used a hot towel to wipe Xi Jiang's upper body and face, and adjusted the air conditioner temperature so that Xi Jiang could sleep more comfortably.
Zhu Wenxu's words were in his mind. The other party didn't want to admit and rejected the relationship with Xi Jiang, which meant that Xi Jiang and him had not had a pleasant experience in the past.
He charged Xi Jiang's phone and the charging icon popped up. Xu Yu saw a reminder on Xi Jiang's WeChat - there was an unsent WeChat message, so he clicked to check it.
Xu Yu had bad thoughts.
He had never looked at Xi Jiang's cell phone. Even when Xi Jiang unlocked it and threw it aside, Xu Yu had never been curious.
But now…
He opened the phone using Xi Jiang's fingerprint. The interface was the most basic theme of the phone, with no wallpaper and a messy layout, most of which were work-related.
Xu Yu opened WeChat with stiff fingers, and saw two pinned messages, one of him and the other with the note rak.
There was a red exclamation mark on the top of WeChat, indicating that there was no internet connection. Maybe he was drunk and pressed buttons randomly, turning off WiFi and mobile data.
He carefully opened rak's chat interface. There was very little content in it, and the historical chat records could only be traced back to the last two months.
[Are you coming back?]
Rak replied: [No.]
[Can we meet again?]
[Just treat it as an old friend meeting, okay?]
Rak: [Sorry, busy.]
When can you meet me?
[Excluding that, can't we even be friends?]
[I won't do anything, just meet you once.]
The other party did not reply.
[I saw the news. You've returned to China, right? You've settled your family's internal disputes, so you should probably rest. Can't we see each other during this time?]
rak replied: [I’m getting married.]
[So what? I said I wouldn't do anything just to see you.]
[Even if you don't want to see me, what about cooperation? Are you not going to do the hot spring project?]
rak replied: [Where to meet?]
[Next Wednesday, Sanhe Hotel, I'll be waiting for you there.]
Xu Yu calculated the time and it was exactly today, and the only person who would meet Xi Jiang today was Zhu Wenxu.
However, this is the first time I have seen Xi Jiang asking for a meeting in such a humble manner.
Rak’s Moments can be viewed for half a year, and there are five Moments, namely, a glittering wine glass, a Nordic church, an aerial photo, a close-up of a diamond ring, and a yellow rice field with pigeons flying over.
It fits Xu Yu's stereotype of the circle of friends of rich people.
After finishing the video and exiting, Xu Yu put his phone back on the table.
He was sure that Rak was Zhu Wenxu.
The next morning, Xu Yu was preparing breakfast when Assistant Zhao brought him a new suit.
At 7:10, Xi Jiang woke up.
He was drunk and drowsy, his hair on the back of his head stuck up high, his eyelids were swollen, and his whole face was wrinkled. He drank a glass of honey water in one breath, and his complexion improved a lot.
After taking two bites of breakfast and wiping his mouth, Xi Jiang looked at Xu Yu and said, "Change my clothes."
Xu Yu put down the pillow, took off Xi Jiang's bathrobe and put on his shirt.
Xi Jiang is 1.9 meters tall, with a short upper body and a long lower body. His facial contours are smooth and his eyes have a light smoky makeup. When he has no expression, he looks like a dead fish, but when he has an expression, he looks very cool.
Xi Jiang yawned without caring about his image: "When did you come yesterday?"
"Twelve o'clock."
"What was my situation?"
"lethargy."
Xi Jiang yawned and watched Xu Yu button up the last button: "If you have nothing else, go back and rest early. You probably didn't sleep well last night."
Xu Yu tied his tie and said, "Brother, are you coming back today?"
"I don't know, probably not." Xi Jiang was unsure. "I'll call you when I get back. These pants are a bit short."
"Mr. Xi, your legs are really too long. The custom-made sets are still being processed. I'm sorry to bother you for a few days." Assistant Zhao said in a humble manner.
Xi Jiang hummed: "Let's make do with it. Let's go, Xu Yu."
"good."
The door clicked shut.
Xu Yu washed her face in the bathroom, wiped it with paper, and quickly dialed the phone. The other end rang twice: "Why did you think of calling me?"
"I have something to talk to you about."
"You need me for something? Did I hear correctly?"
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone."
"Okay, when?"
"Now."
The other end was confused: "Now? Can't you make an appointment in advance? I still have to go to work."
"I'll wait for you at your company downstairs for coffee."
Xu Yu hung up the phone.
He packed up briefly and left the hotel. The temperature outside was high and the air conditioning in the taxi was not very effective. By the time he got out of the car, the back of his clothes was soaked.
He ordered two cups of coffee and sent a text message to Wang Li.
Ten minutes later, Wang Li came in with his camera bag. He took off his hat, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down across from Xu Yu. "Do you know how long I had to wait before our boss let me out?"
"Don't you have free time to come and go in your job? You don't need to punch in at work."
"There's also order and management, and we occasionally have to return to headquarters for meetings. You think it's easy? Oh, and it's rare for you to see me. What's up?"
"Do you remember what we talked about the last time we met?"
Wang Li took a sip of coffee and thought carefully: "Last time? Last time...hiss, what the hell?!"
The sound was so loud that everyone around looked over.
"You remember?"
Wang Li lowered his voice, "Are you really planning to do this? Aren't you afraid Xi Jiang will mess with you? How can you live in peace in your next life? You know when we met, there was a male celebrity who had an improper affair with Xi Jiang online. Do you remember? I don't know how he offended Xi Jiang, but now he's been banned and is selling ice cream in his hometown."
Xu Yu remembered: "Didn't he plan to release a movie a while ago?"
"That's right. Now, whoever dares to provoke Xi Jiang will suffer the consequences. If you really want to get rid of him and not be his...concubine, you can only wait until he gets tired of you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Li and Xu Yu weren't close friends. It was because he was nearly caught that night while secretly photographing Xi Jiang, but Xu Yu let him go. He'd always been grateful for that. If Xi Jiang had caught him and given him a beating, Wang Li would have been forced to go home and sell ice cream.
He and Xu Yu had met once three months ago. Xu Yu had no friends and no one to talk to, so he just sat there in silence for two hours before asking Wang Li how he could get rid of Xi Jiang.
Wang Li thought of many ways for him, but they were very difficult to implement. After that, Xu Yu was taken away. He inquired about it for a few days and made sure that Xu Yu was fine, so he did not contact him actively.
"I've figured out a way." Xu Yu was determined. "It will definitely work."
"What method?"
Xu Yu put his phone on the table. Wang Li glanced at the news headline. It was a very short report. When he saw who it was about, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of coffee.
He no longer cared about his appearance and wiped his mouth with his hand: "Zhu Wenxu?"
Xu Yu nodded.
"Are you going to change your sponsor? Based on my experience with Zhu Wenxu over this period of time, this person is more troublesome, mysterious, and difficult to deal with than Xi Jiang."
Xu Yu: "Have you been following him recently? That's not a reporter's job."
"Please, my side job is a paparazzi, and our newspaper also needs some photos and news. I followed him for two months and lost more than ten pounds. It's not as good as taking secret photos of Xi Jiang."
"Are you still following me now?"
"Come on, I haven't completed the mission yet, and no one's here to take my place." Wang Li took out a cigarette, but saw the no-smoking sign on the wall and put it back in. Then he realized, "Wait, what do you mean? You don't want Zhu Wenxu's itinerary, do you?"
Xu Yu smiled harmlessly: "Is it okay?"
“…”
"Do you really want to change it? You don't even consider how Xi Jiang will react when he finds out..."
Wang Li admitted that Xu Yu was good-looking, even better looking than some of the male celebrities he had secretly photographed. Some celebrities looked like ghosts when they took off their makeup, and if you didn't see them taking off their makeup with your own eyes, you would think you were following the wrong person.
But after all was said, Wang Li respected Xu Yu's decision.
Xu Yu: "Thank you for your help."
