Chapter 16
During the test drive, Ji Liao was sitting in the passenger seat watching the staff drive. At that time, he said, "I don't dare to drive." Wen Qiu thought he was embarrassed.
I didn't expect that I really didn't dare.
Ji Liao also spoke frankly: "I learned to drive just by following the crowd. I never thought I would have a car. I have long forgotten how to drive."
As soon as summer arrived, advertisements for driving test schools were everywhere. Ji Liao, thinking it was always good to have more skills, followed the trend and started learning.
But his goal was to save money to buy a house, and before he bought the house, he never thought about buying a car.
So after getting my driver's license, I never drove a car again.
If I haven't touched it before, I naturally wouldn't dare to open it.
Besides, it's such an expensive car.
Ji Liao was heartbroken after being scratched and rubbed.
This statement is obviously true.
Although the driver's license and ID card are combined into one in this novel world, the original owner can also drive, but like Ji Liao's situation, he cannot drive a car even if he gets the license.
So Wen Qiu believed it and helped Ji Liao park the car in the garage.
"Practice more when you have time." After getting off the car, Wen Qiu said, "If you can't drive, give it to someone else."
When Ji Liao heard this, he immediately said, "I'll start practicing tomorrow!"
What you buy for him is his, he has to keep it!
*
Ji Liao had a good plan. He got up early the next day, familiarized himself with the car, and practiced in the community first.
But when he slipped into the garage in the morning light and sat in the driver's seat, he still didn't muster up the courage to actually drive the car out.
So he just sat in the car, stroking the expensive steering wheel and the various buttons that dazzled him.
Then I checked the manual to determine the function of each button and tried to recall the time when I was learning to drive.
When the sun shone, he made breakfast, watered the flowers, and sent a message to Chen Zili:
[Help, is there any driving instructor I can recommend? ]
After much thought, I couldn't bear to practice on my own car. I might as well find a trainer and practice with him first.
Similarly, he has no friends in this world, and Chen Ziri is barely an acquaintance, so he can only ask Chen Ziri for information.
Before Chen Ziri could reply, Wen Qiu went downstairs.
"Good morning, Mr. Wen!" Ji Liao greeted happily.
"Yeah." Wen Qiu was as cold as usual and walked straight to the dining table.
Wen Qiu is not picky about where he eats. Usually, he eats wherever Ji Liao places the food on the table.
However, that day, as soon as Wen Qiu sat down, Zhang Nan came.
Ji Liao opened the door for Zhang Nan.
"Boss Wen, are you going to the company today?"
As soon as Zhang Nan came in, he went straight to Wen Qiu.
When Ke Wenqiu saw Zhang Nan, he picked up the plate and cup without saying a word and went straight upstairs.
"Boss Wen, Boss Wen!"
Zhang Nan called out twice, but seeing that Qiu really ignored him, he had no choice but to turn to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao stood in the living room, blinked, and smiled awkwardly, not knowing why.
"Assistant Zhang, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat something together."
Zhang Nan looked at Ji Liao with an expression that was hard to describe.
Yesterday's flight ticket had expired, but Wen Qiu did not leave.
Apparently, the termination agreement has not been signed.
Zhang Nan understood the reason why the boss did not explain it to his subordinates.
But the most urgent task is to resolve the internal strife in the company.
He shook his head: "No appetite."
Having said that, he still sat down and looked like he wanted to chat:
"Did Mr. Wen say anything to you?"
Ji Liao went to the kitchen, filled himself a plate of food, and sat down to eat breakfast.
While eating, he said, "That depends on what you want to know."
He understands workplace jargon.
But Zhang Nan wasn't playing Tai Chi: "Did you know that President Wen resigned?"
"Puff!" Ji Liao almost spit out a mouthful of coffee.
The veteran in the workplace didn't come online for a single second.
"Resign?! Why!"
Ji Liao was really surprised. Didn't he see the villain resign when he was reading the book? The villain is a career-oriented person. Besides the protagonist O, his mind is only on work. How could he possibly resign?
But Zhang Nan gave him a clear answer:
“I don’t know the reason, but the Human Resources Department did handle the procedures.”
Ji Liao put down the cup and started to feel bitter and resentful with Zhang Nan.
But he suffered from:
Why did the plot go off track again?
Seeing Ji Liao's expression, Zhang Nan knew that he could not help much.
He stood up and said:
"If possible, please persuade Mr. Wen. The company is in a state of panic right now, and it really can't do without him in charge."
Ji Liao knew his own worth. Trying to persuade Wen Qiu? Just wishful thinking.
But he could only nod.
Zhang Nan went to Wen Qiu's door and knocked again. Only after making sure that Wen Qiu didn't want to see him did he leave with a heavy heart.
As soon as Zhang Nan left, Wen Qiu appeared.
Standing in front of the fence upstairs, Wen Qiu looked down at Ji Liao:
"Don't let anyone else upstairs."
Seeing Wen Qiu, Ji Liao wanted to ask about his resignation, but he hesitated, feeling that nothing he said would be appropriate.
Finally, I could only say, “I understand.”
This day has just begun.
After breakfast, Ji Liao went upstairs to collect Wen Qiu's plates. Just as he was about to wash them, another group of people arrived.
But Ji Liao "strictly followed the emperor's will" and did not let them in.
Later, Chen Zili replied to his message and pushed a person's business card:
[This coach is a beta, and he's very patient.]
Ji Liao replied "thank you", but did not add the coach as a friend.
Because it seems that he has no time to go out.
Drive one group away, and another group comes.
This situation lasted for several days.
Ji Liao had no time to go out and could feel the anxiety of others.
It made him anxious too.
Did Wen Qiu really resign? What will happen next?
In confusion, he waited for Lou Yue.
The protagonist O holds a very important position in the villain's heart. Lou Yue wants to see Wen Qiu, so Ji Liao of course opens the door.
"Mr. Lou."
Ji Liao thought his savior had arrived and smiled widely.
Lou Yue looked puzzled.
But it was only for a moment, and he immediately put on a proper smile and asked gently:
"What has Brother Qiu been doing these days? Is he okay?"
The superstar is wearing ordinary casual clothes and still looks beautiful and sparkling.
Ji Liao sighed inwardly, but remained polite on the surface: "Mr. Wen hasn't been out lately, but he looks fine, nothing unusual, and he's very stable."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go talk to him." Lou Yue said, and went upstairs with ease.
Ji Liao was standing downstairs when he heard Lou Yue knocking on the door and then coming in.
No hindrance.
Sure enough, Bai Yueguang is different.
In the study.
Wen Qiu was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Lou Yue glanced at the book in Wen Qiu's hand - "Monte Cristo Alpha".
"Your resignation has been widely reported. Isn't it appropriate for me to come and see you?"
Wen Qiu put down the book, losing interest.
Alphas don't have the personality to confide in others. Lou Yue understands Wen Qiu and doesn't beat around the bush with him:
"Brother Qiu, are you really quitting?"
Wen Qiu laughed: "Are you here to persuade me too?"
Lou Yue: "What am I advising you to do? Go back to work? You obviously don't like it, so just quit."
Wen Qiu: “…”
It’s true.
In this world, only Lou Yue understands him.
Wen Qiu's expression improved a bit, and he was ready to chat:
"What about you? Are you really quitting?"
Lou Yue loves the stage so much that he is willing to give everything for it.
But one of the requirements for the marriage between the Meng and Lou families was that Lou Yue could no longer show up in public.
Wen Qiu certainly knew that Lou Yue would return to the stage in the end.
But now, at this moment, Lou Yue has been forced to stop all work.
You must be feeling very sad.
"It's okay, I can still sing."
Lou Yue said: "It doesn't matter where you sing, I'll just sing at home."
Wen Qiu looked at Lou Yue and thought of their childhood.
Lou Yue had just been adopted, and at gatherings within his circle, almost no one wanted to play with him, and some even deliberately excluded him.
Wen Qiu doesn't like socializing. He noticed Lou Yue and found that Lou Yue was always alone, taking care of Lou's brother with the nanny.
Once, Wen Qiu saw him squatting in the garden. Wen Qiu thought Lou Yue was crying, so he secretly approached and wanted to comfort him.
As a result, Lou Yue was picking dragonflies.
"What are you doing?"
Wen Qiu asked.
Lou Yue looked up and saw Wen Qiu. She was not afraid, but her brows relaxed and she smiled brightly:
"My brother likes dragonflies, so I fold one for him."
As he spoke, Lou Yue stood up, patted the grass seeds on his pants, and said to Wen Qiu:
"Do you like it? Give you one?"
Lou Yue is just like this. No matter what happens, she always faces it positively and optimistically.
Wen Qiu took Lou Yue's dragonfly, and since then, he began to voluntarily protect this optimism.
Only now...
"I really hate Meng Shuyi."
Wen Qiu said sincerely.
"Ha ha!"
Lou Yue laughed.
But the smile quickly faded: "Brother Qiu, why is Ji Liao here?"
The last time he was in danger, he was sent to the hospital by Meng Shuyi.
After escaping danger, Meng Shuyi mentioned that the people who helped him were taken away by Wen Qiu.
Then he would naturally ask Wen Qiu.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiu knew the other person.
Since he is my lifesaver, of course I should thank him.
So he added the other person as a friend and gave him a thank-you fee.
I thought my fate with him ended here.
Wen Qiu brought the person to the engagement party.
Lou Yue thought it was too strange.
From what he observed, Wen Qiu and Lou Yue seemed unfamiliar with each other.
It can be seen that Qiu takes care of the other party in every way.
More importantly, Ji Liao looks like him.
When an alpha likes an omega, he can't help but emit a pheromone.
Wen Qiu likes him.
He always knew.
But he couldn't respond.
Wen Qiu also knew.
In this situation, it was hard for Wen Qiu not to think too much when a beta who looked very similar to himself suddenly appeared next to him.
Wen Qiu wondered whether Lou Yue would ask about Ji Liao, but since it had been so long since the engagement party and Lou Yue hadn't asked, he thought she wouldn't ask.
But since you asked...
"I invited him."
Wen Qiu couldn't tell anyone about the stand-in agreement, so he could only make up a story: "He's a very good cook, so I hired him as a chef."
Lou Yue: "..."
Countless ridiculous thoughts flashed through my mind, but I never thought it would be this.
Ji Liao wandered aimlessly downstairs, very curious about what the two people upstairs were talking about.
He quietly went upstairs and listened carefully, but only heard some faint noises.
Finally, the study door opened.
Lou Yue and Wen Qiu's voices came out:
"Grandma will come to see you sooner or later. Why don't you move to my place? It's empty anyway."
"Let's talk about it later. Don't worry about me."
The two of them talked and walked out of the room.
Ji Liao stood still immediately: "Mr. Lou."
Lou Yue still spoke to Ji Liao with a smile as before: "Brother Qiu must like you very much. I am sorry to bother you during this period of time."
Alphas are creatures with a strong sense of territory, and Wen Qiu is even more so.
Wen Qiu doesn't like the smell of other people in the house. Even the company's beta is not allowed to stay in his house for too long.
But the beta in front of us is different.
Beta has no pheromones, but Ji Liao can smell a faint scent on his body.
It smells the same as Wen Qiu.
This means Ji Liao has lived here for a long time.
It was hard to tell whether she was worried about Wen Qiu or Ji Liao. Lou Yue suddenly grabbed the back of Ji Liao's hand and pressed it hard: "If you have any problems, you can come to me."
Ji Liao was confused by the seriousness of the matter and responded without understanding why: "You're welcome, Mr. Lou..."
Wen Qiu was standing nearby, his eyes fixed on the two people's clasped hands.
Only after Lou Yue let go did he move.
"What?" He sneered, "Are you afraid I'll eat him?"
Lou Yue glanced at Wen Qiu with a complicated expression.
He was indeed afraid.
But he couldn't break the window paper, so he could only smile and say: "Ji Liao is a good kid at first glance, Brother Qiu, please be nice to him."
In his heart, Wen Qiu is also a very good person, and Ji Liao's safety is at least not a problem.
Ji Liao was praised for no apparent reason and scratched his head with a silly smile.
Seeing that Lou Yue was about to leave, he immediately politely saw her out.
After Lou Yue left completely, Wen Qiu returned to his expressionless state and asked Ji Liao from top to bottom:
"Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to come in?"
Ji Liao looked up at Wen Qiu.
Why does this sound wrong?
Didn’t Wen Qiu look very happy just now?
After Wen Qiu finished chatting with Lou Yue, he did feel better.
So when I looked at Ji Liao again, I remembered the agreement.
He had left Ji Liao behind before on a whim, intending to annoy Lu Hongda.
But he no longer wanted his job or identity, and there was no need for him to communicate with Lu Hongda anymore.
A few days ago, he saw that Ji Liao was in distress, so he could only temporarily relax the appointment.
But Lou Yue's polite words just now clearly showed that he had discovered something.
After all, Ji Liao and Lou Yue look alike.
In his previous life, Lou Yue discovered Ji Liao's secret and had several arguments with him, so he impulsively confessed his feelings to Lou Yue.
Wen Qiu doesn't want to happen again.
Well, it’s better to do it today than to wait for another day.
"Ji Liao, come here for a moment."
Ji Liao was confused as he went upstairs and followed Wen Qiu into the study.
There was no one else in the villa, so he didn't close the door.
Wen Qiu put the prepared termination agreement on the table and pushed it in front of Ji Liao:
"Take a look. If there's no problem, sign it."
Ji Liao looked down and said: "!!!"
Again?!
