Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The bodyguard also prepared dinner...
Dinner was also prepared by the bodyguards.
While Fang Shimian was cooperating with the doctor's examination, the lunch was taken away and thrown away by the bodyguards.
Fang Shi Mian felt sorry for this for a long time, the old duck soup was really delicious and he still had half of it left.
This time, Fang Shimian specially left two dishes aside for dinner. He called Xu Long and sent him a message.
Xu Long is quite busy today. He has to sort out the photos of construction waste leaving the warehouse this year, summarize the ground and underground parking fees, and classify the information on owners' problems. Under the three major categories of maintenance, return for repair, and consultation, there are also the number of times each department handled the incident.
Generally speaking, the Order Department and the Environment Department have more things to do, followed by the Environment Department. The Customer Service Department has the least records, but this department faces the owners directly, so most conflicts are not recorded. In order to make it look good, some things have to be added and beautified by ourselves.
After dinner, Fang Shimian took out the medicine that the doctor had revised and took it.
He wasn't as sleepy this time, but his nose was still a little blocked. Looking at the pile of tissues on the coffee table, Fang Shimian silently opened the video software and began to search for a live broadcast room where he could grab discounted tissues for just one cent.
Xu Long went to the restaurant and bought two yuan of rice. Seeing that Fang Shimian had left him a box of crispy pork soup and fish-flavored shredded pork, he simply poured all the rice into the soup and slurped it up.
After dinner, the two of them lay on the sofa and played games for a while. Xu Long went back to his room to sleep when he got tired.
After a period of time, Zhu Ze suddenly received more invitations, and his attitude was particularly tough. Many times, he came to Fang Shimian's rental house in person to arrest people.
He didn't find any necessary reasons. Even if he asked Fang Shimian to go to the office to watch him work, he would make sure to stay by Fang Shimian's side during his free time.
Fang Shimian initially made various excuses to refuse, but Zhu Ze always managed to make Fang Shimian compromise in various ways. He almost watched Fang Shimian grow up, watched his personality change, watched him struggle in pain, watched him be cautious, he knew him too well.
No one knows Fang Shimian better than him.
Zhu Ze knew very well that Fang Shimian would never truly reject him, and based on the tender embrace they had as teenagers, it was impossible for him to be cruel to him.
It's even more impossible for it to be snatched away by that kind of monster.

In late January, the New Year is approaching.
The city suddenly became much emptier, and there were hardly any people in the neighborhood. In the past, there would be a few calls occasionally during the night shift, but now there is basically nothing to do during the night shift, and the occasional call is to complain about noisy neighbors.
Yunjin was built a long time ago, so the sound insulation is not very good. There are many types of apartments, including single-family villas, flats, and a high-rise residential building. Their monitoring room is located under this only high-rise residential building.
Fang Shimian did not take any vacation in January. He had informed the special service before scheduling his shifts, because everyone wanted to take a vacation during the New Year holidays. However, grassroots positions like theirs cannot be separated from people, and there is no overtime pay for being on duty during the New Year holidays. Therefore, no one was willing to schedule extra shifts during these days and they all looked for reasons to ask for leave.
Fang Shimian thought that he didn't need to go home for the New Year anyway, and he was homeless, so he might as well let his colleagues stay with their families for a few more days.
Colleagues are even more kind to Fang Shimian and they like this well-behaved kid from the bottom of their hearts who doesn't fight or compete.
A few years ago, the company organized an annual meeting, which started at 6 pm. All staff who were not on night shift that day had to attend, and those on duty were given a bonus of 200 yuan as compensation.
Fang Shimian and Xu Long were on the day shift, so Ma Liang and the others came an hour early to take over. However, Xu Long said he didn't want to go no matter what. Except Fang Shimian, no one seemed surprised.
"Brother Long, are you really not going? Yu Wen Restaurant, they say the food is delicious..."
Xu Long had a cold face and shoved Fang Shimian into the car while cursing, "I said I'm not going, why are you wasting your time... Come back early after dinner."
The two security guards in the car laughed.
Xu Long looked inside and said to one of them, "You guys are not allowed to coax him to drink."
The man nodded, patted Fang Shimian on the shoulder a few times, and said jokingly: "Did you hear that? Our Brother Long has spoken. Don't blame the brothers for not playing with you later."
The people in the car laughed even louder, and Fang Shimian also laughed foolishly.
Xu Long snorted and slammed the car door.
The performance at the annual meeting was by a dance troupe specially invited by the company, and it became a bit boring after watching it for a long time.
There were two large bottles of drinks next to Fang Shimian's seat. He was concentrating on eating while his colleagues were opening red wine and chatting in groups of three or two.
Halfway through the meal, Manager Zhou from the neighboring project came over with someone to toast everyone. Everyone was caught off guard and stood up. Fang Shimian also took his Coke and took a sip in line with everyone else's rhythm.
But after the two men finished drinking, they did not leave. Instead, they walked around to Fang Shimian and raised their glasses. Manager Zhou smiled and said to the man next to him, "Why don't you explain it to Shimian quickly? Why are you standing there?"
The man walked forward under everyone's gaze, and Fang Shimian only then saw his face clearly. It was the supervisor he met on the day of the assignment.
"I'm really sorry for that day. I didn't know you were in contact with those big shots, but why didn't you do it earlier..."
"What are you talking about?" Manager Zhou suddenly interrupted him and smiled at Fang Shimian, "This is my brother. He always speaks without thinking, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. There was a small misunderstanding between us before, but now I have learned my lesson. I came here to apologize. From now on, we are all brothers..."
Not long after the incident that day, this supervisor was reassigned as a security guard without exception, and was even a night shift security guard. He had to find some connections and spend some money to become "brothers" with the manager before he had the opportunity to show up in front of Fang Shimian.
But before they could finish the rest of the words, a male voice, neither too loud nor too soft, interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Who are you two brothers?"
Fang Shimian turned around and saw Xu Long, who looked impatient.
Xu Long frowned and loosened his tie, raised his chin, and said angrily, "I know exactly what your cousin said and did. I haven't settled accounts with him yet, but you dared to bring him here to stir up trouble. And you forgive him? Why should you forgive him? When you wronged him, why didn't you think of doing good deeds and investigating the matter before speaking? Now you want to forgive him, but you can get away with it just because of a few casual words from you two?"
Manager Zhou's face darkened instantly. He had never expected Xu Long to appear here, and he was extremely angry.
This person never comes to the annual meeting, but he happened to run into us this time.
"Hey, how can you talk like that? I'm giving you face, right?" The supervisor had never been humiliated like this before and immediately got angry. A monitor was still showing off, but before he could finish his words, Manager Zhou hurriedly pressed him down.
Manager Zhou subconsciously looked at Fang Shimian, wanting him to express his opinion quickly and let the matter go, "Xiao Fang, tell me..."
"We have nothing to say." Fang Shimian didn't want to be the good guy and smooth things over at this time. He lowered his head, grabbed Xu Long, and pulled him to his seat.
Xu Long sat down unceremoniously, called the hotel waiter over, pointed at Manager Zhou and the other two, and said, "These two are not included in the invitation to the annual meeting, send them out."
Manager Zhou was so angry that he was shaking, but was persuaded to leave by several other district managers who came rushing over after hearing the noise.
Xu Long is the son of the boss of Qihe Property and his ex-wife before he became rich. He had been raised in another place and was brought back home after he graduated from university a few years ago. He has a very special position in the company because the company has a recognized prince, but the heir who was carefully cultivated had an accident while skydiving half a year ago.
High level paraplegia.
The boss does have a daughter who is only ten years old this year.
Xu Long's status suddenly became delicate from an insignificant and transparent person. He was slacking off in the monitoring room. The boss had talked to him several times, but it was totally unacceptable, so he just let him be. After all, he still owed something.
This farce was quickly over, and seeing that Xu Long was in a bad mood, his colleagues tacitly did not ask about the matter.
At the annual meeting, the boss brought his wife up to speak. Xu Long, who had just finished his meal and had just crossed his legs, lowered his head and played with his phone as if it had nothing to do with him.
Fang Shimian looked at the couple on the stage, a little absent-minded.
"Do you think that woman looks very gentle?"
Xu Long didn't know when he stopped playing with his phone. He moved closer to Fang Shimian and watched the stage with him.
Fang Shi Mian didn't understand what he meant, Xu Long laughed, "That's my stepmother, she fed me pig feed when I was a child, if you dare to say she is gentle I will beat you."
The curve of Fang Shimian's mouth instantly disappeared, and he glared slightly, "Feed?"
"Yeah." Xu Long leaned back in his seat and put his hand on Fang Shimian's head to play with his hair. "When I was a kid, I was as thin as you. My dad didn't like it, so I ate fattening feed for animals for a while. Hahahaha, these two bastards are capable of doing such a thing."
Fang Shimian felt a lump in his throat and he lowered his head to endure it for a moment, then suddenly turned around and hugged Xu Long.
Xu Long was stunned for two seconds, the smile gradually disappeared from his face, he fell silent, and rubbed Fang Shimian's head.
"It's okay. You can cry about this... I'm just teasing you."
A colleague nearby looked over and asked, "What's going on? Is Xiao Fang drunk?"
"Not drunk."
Fang Shimian felt embarrassed, and slowly sat up. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said to Xu Long: "Brother Long, I'm full, let's go."
Xu Long picked up the car keys on the table, turned to his colleague next to him, and said in a nonchalant manner: "If someone comes to see me later, just say that I died from eating feed."
The colleagues didn't know the whole story and thought it was just another outrageous excuse from Xu Long, and they couldn't help laughing.
On the way back, Fang Shimian suggested treating Xu Long to a barbecue.
Xu Long knew what Fang Shimian was thinking. He just felt soft-hearted at this moment, but still pretended to be nonchalant and smiled: "How can I let you treat me? The last thing your brother Long lacks right now is money."
While eating, Fang Shimian did not mention that incident deliberately. Only at certain moments would he look at Xu Long very seriously, with his eyes seeming to have a lot to say, but he never opened his mouth.
After being stared at for a while, Xu Long raised his eyes and threatened in a rough voice, "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll beat you up."
Fang Shimian turned his head obediently and slowly smiled.
Under the moonlight, the young man's eyebrows were curved, and his eyes were shining with tiny lights, as bright as stars.
It seems to be filled with endless tenderness.
He felt something cold and wet on his hand. Xu Long came to his senses and looked down. He found that the plastic cup had been deformed at some point, and the brown drink inside had flowed all over his hand.
Sticky.
The dried marks between his fingers seemed to have solidified directly into a soft spot in his heart, stimulating his nerves as his pulse rose and fell.
