Chapter 111
"...Okay Gu Yan, stop complaining. It's good enough that your cousin brought us here and gave us the express pass. Mu Bai wants a headband, you can come down and buy it for him. If it doesn't work, you two can just come over and queue up to play again."
Li Qing looked speechlessly at Gu Yan who was arguing with Mu Bai, while the second brother beside him nodded.
Gu Yan, who was standing aside and arguing with Mu Bai, said with an unhappy look on his face: "How would I know that my cousin only prepared Ye Wangxing's headband, and Mu Bai, you too. Isn't it just a headband? Why are you being unreasonable again?"
Mu Bai was also incredulous when he heard Gu Yan's words.
"What do you mean it's just a headband! It's obvious that you don't take me seriously. I don't want to play anymore! Gu Yan, go play by yourself!"
Mu Bai became more and more sad as he spoke, and tears were almost falling. He turned around and ran out of the speed pass without paying any attention to Gu Yan's attempts to stop him. Gu Yan had no choice but to chase him.
At this point, only Li Qing and Lao Er were left in the entire speed pass.
——Gu Yan’s cousin and Ye Wangxing happened to be on the Ferris wheel.
The reason was that the two of them did not accompany Gu Yan to coax Mu Bai, so they naturally went in early.
But now Li Qing and the second brother are also tired and don’t want to coax them anymore. Forget about all the social etiquette and social manners!
In the past two days, they felt like slaves of Gu Yan and Mu Bai. They could always come to them for judgment on all kinds of things! What can they judge? Isn't it just a compromise? But they were still not satisfied with this, and it would affect them from time to time. There were a few times when they almost fought with Gu Yan and Mu Bai.
What’s funny is that at this time their love became stronger than ever, causing Li Qing and the others to be extremely haggard in the past two days.
Fortunately, these two crazy men are finally far away from them now.
As for why they ended up in such a miserable situation, it all started from the day before yesterday.
At first, when Gu Yan came to them with the strategy made by his uncle and cousin, they were a little unbelievable. They wondered when Gu Yan suddenly came to his senses and actually remembered to go to the horse farm and the amusement park in Mubai.
Later, when they learned that it was Gu Yan's uncle and cousin who planned to take Ye Wangxing out to play, they understood what was going on.
They said that Gu Yan didn’t have that intention.
But they were still a little surprised. After all, Young Master Gu never took this kind of job. Even when his mother asked him to search for nearby restaurants, he refused.
"...It's because they gave too much. I spent a lot of money on gifts for Mu Bai during this period."
Gu Yan said this with some guilt at that time.
Li Qing and the second brother agreed with what he said - they had also seen Gu Yan's spending in the recent period.
There was no way out. They really gave him too much. During this period, they gave Mu Bai all kinds of small gifts, and they would compensate him from time to time, so he had very little pocket money left.
However, Gu Yan really didn't know Ye Wangxing very well. In his impression, Ye Wangxing was just a good-natured guy with good personalities. He spent all his remaining time dating Mu Bai.
But fortunately, he had a mouth and asked Li Qing and Lao Er directly. Although Li Qing and Lao Er had never been to the horse farm, had they not been embarrassed before? So under the guidance of the other two roommates, all the suggestions such as giving a pony were rejected, and only the normal play process remained.
Pei Shi's strategy was naturally the same. It had to be said that the uncle and nephew were indeed related by blood to Gu Yan, and they were of the same lineage when it came to big scenes. The difference was that Mu Bai might have happily accepted it, but Ye Wangxing could only be speechless for a long time at the previous strategy, feeling awkward.
Fortunately, this ordinary strategy made Ye Wangxing nod his head, and in return, his uncle and cousin kindly invited them to go with them and even covered the tickets and other things. Gu Yan and the others did not notice any traps and went there happily.
——Then they were happy to be the third wheel.
Although the eating, drinking and entertainment were things they had never seen before, they always felt like they were redundant!
and……
Li Qing rubbed his eyebrows.
He always felt that something was not right when Ye Wangxing was getting along with the two Mr. Pei.
Ye Wangxing told Mr. Pei everything about his own affairs, and Mr. Pei didn't seem to notice anything wrong. He seemed quite happy to hear Ye Wangxing's detailed reports.
——Although his face turned black when he heard that Ye Wangxing was going to the amusement park with Mr. Pei.
However, this person was coaxed by Ye Wangxing as soon as he turned around.
Every time this happened, Li Qing and Lao Er felt that Ye Wangxing was truly worthy of being the guy who could lick three people at the same time.
They had never seen such a peaceful scene where two people could live in peace and harmony with each other.
And today, with Mr. Pei coming over, the atmosphere became even stronger, and they seemed more like light bulbs that disturbed other people's love lives.
Fortunately, neither Ye Wangxing nor Mr. Pei minded them playing together.
Li Qing felt that the fourth brother was just trying to use them to cover up his intentions. As for Mr. Pei...
This guy really didn't take them seriously. It was clearly his treat, but Ye Wangxing was the only one who greeted everyone throughout the whole process. Mr. Pei would only pull Ye Wangxing aside when he wanted to check in with him.
Ye Wangxing was not angry, and he greeted people in a very good manner throughout the whole process. Fortunately, Ye Wangxing's job was completed in 2 hours. It was not that their trip was over, but that the other people could not stand Mr. Pei's deathly gaze, and honestly said that they were going to have fun on their own.
But the only ones who really played by themselves were Xiao Pei and Ye Wangxing, and they...
He became a target of hatred for Mu Bai and Gu Yan.
Thinking of this, Li Qing became resentful again.
"I really don't understand why Gu Yan and Mu Bai quarrel eight times in three days!"
Li Qing looked at the two people who were quarreling outside the team again. Everyone was staring at them, but no one stopped them from quarreling. Instead, the quarrel became more and more excited. He looked suffocated.
"This is probably what they call, there is no harm without comparison."
The second brother on the side spoke to Li Qing with an expression that showed he had seen through the world.
"Think about it. Yesterday, Gu Yan proudly took Mu Bai to the horse farm and picked the best pony for Mu Bai. When Mu Bai arrived at the farm, what did he see?"
Li Qing recalled that yesterday, President Pei personally took Ye Wangxing to familiarize himself with the horses, and carried him up and down without any hesitation. Ye Wangxing also prepared a watch strap for President Pei to adjust his watch - the watch strap was even made by him himself!
The second brother said calmly: "For a person like Mu Bai who cares about face, how can he be happy if his boyfriend can't even get along with other people's friends?"
Although they all knew that this was more than just a relationship between friends, Mu Bai didn't know.
——However, the second brother felt that Mu Bai actually knew. After all, even a fool could see the atmosphere between the two of them, but Mu Bai insisted on holding on to this title, and they had no choice.
But this is none of their business, so the second brother started analyzing what happened today.
"Today, too. Gu Yan's cousin, Xiao Pei, prepared a headband for Ye Wangxing. Mu Bai's envious eyes were almost written on his face, but Gu Yan didn't react at all. He didn't even think of buying him a headband at the gate. It would be strange if Mu Bai didn't get angry."
Li Qing also said helplessly: "This is also Gu Yan's fault. Doesn't he know what kind of person his boyfriend is? He always says he likes him, but when he really needs him, he can't remember a thing. This has happened so many times."
The second brother nodded helplessly and said, "It may be that the pot fits the lid. It's strange that the freshman year is almost over. Many classmates have broken up, but they are still together."
Li Qing didn't understand why, so he could only turn around and start talking about Ye Wangxing again.
"But speaking of it, although Ye Wangxing looks normal, he's actually not that good either." Li Qing sighed, just in time to see Ye Wangxing coming down from the Ferris wheel.
Ye Wangxing looked at Mr. Pei standing next to him, who was talking and gesticulating, his eyes full of admiration, love that was almost showing through his eyes.
But Mr. Pei's face flushed instead, and he looked very shy, and he even didn't dare to put his hands where they wanted.
He even didn't dare to pull at the corner of Ye Wangxing's clothes. He was such a big man in the crowd, but he was as shy as a super-large teddy bear.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing knew how to take the initiative. Seeing the man like this, Ye Wangxing took the initiative to step forward and hold the man's hand.
Can……
Li Qing looked at Ye Wangxing, whose face was full of smiles, but without a trace of evil thoughts, only a frank expression, and he sighed deeply.
"I don't know why, but Lao Si gave me the feeling that every day was my last day. I didn't know when I would be sentenced to death, so I became reckless. The key point was that the other guys were really well behaved, so Lao Si also believed that."
Li Qing said with some headache.
The second brother spread his hands and said, "We can't help it. The family backgrounds and feelings are too different. And although they seem to be very nice to the fourth brother, their body language is not like Gu Yan and Mu Bai, who want to stick together every day. The atmosphere is just a little ambiguous."
Li Qing also agreed with this. In his opinion, the atmosphere between these people was really quite ambiguous.
What a pity, both of them are quite gentlemanly, and it’s hard to tell which one will get the position.
——Don’t let the latecomers take over.
A figure flashed through Li Qing's mind and he sighed.
However, Li Qing immediately forgot about the matter, including Gu Yan and Mu Bai. After all, this was an amusement park with an express pass. It would be a waste of resources if he played with a little thought.
So, when they arrived at the final gathering place, Li Qing and the second brother looked as happy as the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. On the other side, Ye Wangxing was directing young President Pei to strike a pose, and young President Pei was quite obedient. He laughed when he was told to laugh and raised his hand when he was told to raise his hand. He was so well-behaved that he didn't look like a group director.
Even when Gu Yan and Mu Bai came back, they had gloomy faces the whole time. The remaining four people didn't pay much attention to them. There was laughter and joy in the carriage the whole time, and the two silent people were directly drowned out.
However, the second brother noticed that Ye Wangxing seemed to be worried about something and spoke absent-mindedly.
And his hands were tightly holding the shoulder bag on his body.
It was not until they reached the school gate that they realized what Ye Wangxing was so nervous about.
"...Oh, I almost forgot. This is for you."
When they said goodbye at the school gate, Gu Yan and Mu Bai walked out first, intending to find a quiet place to deal with their affairs, while Li Qing and the second brother were a little slower. But because of this, when they turned around, they happened to see Ye Wangxing handing a document to President Pei.
"This is the patent I applied for. It uses the same technology as the watch on your wrist, but its function is completely different. I have already established a company, and the business license will be issued in a few days. If you don't mind..."
The handsome young man smiled, but his hands were shaking slightly, as if he was afraid or nervous.
He spoke softly to the stunned tall man.
"…Are you willing to be a co-author of this paper?"
Li Qing and Lao Er, who were standing by, fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
——Co-author?
How is this any different from proposing?
For an academic, his paper is equivalent to his child. Especially in this environment where children will be named after their grandfather or their grandfather's grandfather, a paper, especially one in which the author is the first author, is definitely the academic's treasure.
Being able to produce a paper like this and invite someone to be a co-author is really no different from proposing marriage.
After Li Qing and the second brother reacted, they looked at Ye Wangxing in shock.
They now began to suspect that Ye Wangxing's true love was this young Mr. Pei.
——If it’s not true love, why would Ye Wangxing bring out this joint work?
They even had a look of disappointment in their eyes. God knows that before, this kind of look would only be directed at Gu Yan. After all, Gu Yan was the only one in the whole dormitory who was in love.
But now it seems that Gu Yan is not the only one in their dormitory who is in love, but Ye Wangxing is playing hide-and-seek with them!
The handsome young man didn't know what his roommate was thinking. After he finished speaking, he looked at the tall man opposite who had been silent for a long time, and said in a panic.
"I'm not asking for investment. I just think that you taught me all my skills, so you should have a name on the paper—"
However, before the handsome young man could finish his words, he was embraced in a warm embrace.
"…Thank you. It's my pleasure."
The man hugged the young man and put his head on his shoulder, speaking word by word.
"——The greatest honor of my life."
That day, the two of them fled from the scene amid Li Qing and Lao Er's loud applause and teasing expressions.
But it was a good thing after all. Although Ye Wangxing still didn't think that Mr. Pei had agreed to his intention, Li Qing and the second brother felt that Ye Wangxing just underestimated himself.
"Don't be so self-deprecating, Lao Si. You are really outstanding. It's not hard to understand why they like you."
Li Qing spoke to Ye Wangxing with a smile, but Ye Wangxing still had a firm expression.
He seemed to have engraved the thought of 'they won't like me' in his mind.
Li Qing was at a loss now. Gu Yan's lesson had made him realize that sometimes it was best not to interrupt, and the second brother thought so too.
"When Mr. Pei can no longer bear it, the fourth brother will be able to understand the other person's feelings under the suffocating love of the other person."
The second brother said seriously.
Li Qing also nodded seriously, and then asked in confusion: "...Why is it suffocating love?"
The second one compared heights.
Although Li Qing really didn't want to understand immediately, unfortunately, after years of online life, he finally understood what Lao Er meant.
"…If it really comes to that, Old Four probably won't even be able to see the ceiling."
Li Qing looked at his roommate with sympathy, and then began to feel fortunate that his roommate had been exercising.
"At least he should be able to catch up with the 8am the next day."
However, the atmosphere in the dormitory was not always so good.
——After all, Gu Yan didn’t coax Mu Bai that day.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the dormitory was so strange that it was suffocating. The cold war between Gu Yan and Mu Bai was like a silent storm, sweeping the entire space.
In sharp contrast to this cold atmosphere was Ye Wangxing's almost overflowing joy. Although he felt that Mr. Pei would not like him, this did not prevent Mr. Pei from being willing to be his co-worker, which made Ye Wangxing very happy.
In addition, since his thesis was about to be published, Ye Wangxing even walked with a brisk pace.
This was really tough for Li Qing and the second brother. The atmosphere of extreme cold and heat almost made them catch a cold.
Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and decided to put an end to the weird atmosphere in the dormitory.
However, they also knew in their hearts that Ye Wangxing had done nothing wrong, and they couldn't ruin Ye Wangxing's good mood. They could only turn their attention to Gu Yan and try to find a breakthrough from him.
——After all, the final exam is next week.
If Gu Yan continues the cold war with Mu Bai at this time, who knows, Mu Bai might have a new boyfriend when they return from vacation.
Fortunately, Gu Yan had actually regretted it a long time ago.
The cold war of half a month made him feel like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. Every time he saw Mu Bai acting as if nothing had happened, he felt irritated, but he didn't know how to start talking.
Li Qing and the second brother's words gave him a way out, and he finally decided to bow his head - although it was not easy for him.
Just saying, "Do you want to make peace with Mu Bai?", Li Qing and Lao Er saw Gu Yan running out to find a solution: ...
"ah?"
But Gu Yan didn't care what his two roommates were thinking. He picked up his phone and called his father.
"...Dad, Mu Bai and I had a fight and I want to coax him. Dad, do you know any restaurant?" Gu Yan's voice was a little hesitant, even with a rare hint of weakness.
Gu Yan usually went to bars, clubs or high-end banquet venues, and he had never been to romantic restaurants suitable for couples. After all, Mu Bai always preferred the flowers or handwritten letters he sent to her rather than those flashy places.
But this time, Gu Yan felt that he needed to make some changes - isn't it just a fast pass for the horse farm and the amusement park? He decided to take Mu Bai to a really high-end restaurant to let him see what true romance is.
He even made up his mind that he must surpass his uncle and cousin and show them that he was not just a playboy.
However, Mr. Gu on the other end of the phone was not as gentle as usual, and his tone was as irritable as an angry lion: "Don't you know how to do this kind of trivial matter yourself? Your father is not a turtle in the wishing well, go ask someone else yourself!"
Gu Yan was startled by his sudden temper. He held the phone in shock for a few seconds and couldn’t help muttering in his heart: …Did my dad take the wrong medicine?
Of course, Mr. Gu did not take the wrong medicine. On the contrary, he is in good health and enjoys everything he eats.
——It’s just that his top salesman is going to change jobs.
Mr. Gu sat in his office, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the table, his eyes a little dazed. The words "Shengjiu" on the resignation application on the table hurt his eyes.
This is one of his most capable people! He has taken all the difficult orders, and he is still young, only 22 years old this year, and is even a college student.
And now such a talented person was let go? !
Mr. Gu felt annoyed and picked up the phone to call the HR department. As soon as the call was connected, he started to scold them: "What's wrong with you? How can you let a talent like Sheng Jiu go? Do you know how much of the company's performance he has supported alone? Are you crazy?"
The head of the Human Resources Department explained aggrievedly on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Gu, Sheng Jiu asked to resign on his own, and there is nothing we can do..."
"He asked to resign himself, can't you try to keep him? He has achieved so much for the company alone! Why are you saving money for me? Just increase his salary!"
Mr. Gu continued to curse.
"Boss Gu, the salary has really been increased, but Sheng Jiu wants to leave, and we can't do anything about it - and we have room for advancement."
The Director of the Human Resources Department is an old employee of Mr. Gu, and he is the only one who can say such things.
Mr. Gu was stunned and tightened his grip on the phone.
Yes, Shengjiu's performance is far ahead, but the senior positions in the company have long been occupied by those old employees. No matter how hard he tries, he can't climb up.
Mr. Gu knew clearly that Sheng Jiu was an ambitious man and he would not be content to be just a sales champion for his entire life.
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu sighed and hung up the phone without saying a word, which to some extent also explained his thoughts.
But then he called his assistant and asked him to help find out which new company Sheng Jiu had joined and what conditions the other party offered him.
Soon, the assistant put the news about Shengjiu's new company on his desk.
He was stunned when he opened it - the investors of the new company turned out to be his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law's nephew.
He held the document in his hand, thinking that he would have to complain to his wife in a few days and talk to her about her brother stealing his girl, but what was important now was the company.
But the company was very small and had only been established for a few days. Sheng Jiu was basically a lone commander with only the title of general manager and some shares. And what was strange was that although it had just been established, it already had 5 shareholders.
However, the most important thing is the business direction, not how amazing this direction is.
——The main reason is that Mr. Gu can’t understand it.
"Indoor dual-user 3D relative positioning system based on multi-source heterogeneous sensor fusion and distributed DEKF architecture - a collaborative SLAM solution for multi-story building environments?"
Mr. Gu knows every word, but why can't he understand them when they are put together?
Moreover, this company has another shareholder. How come he has the same name and surname as the kid from the Ye family? Could it be that this is a joint business of theirs?
This made Mr. Gu relax a little. Pei Yi and Pei Shi's family businesses were stronger than Gu's, so they were not worried about them getting hurt because of this small company. In addition, with Shengjiu's support, as long as the product was not too bad, they could basically make it work.
but……
Mr. Gu stared at the only patent held by this company, frowning for a long time...
"can't read."
Mr. Gu rubbed his brows and sighed.
Mu Bai also couldn't understand it.
He had no idea what the title of the paper meant, but he did understand the name of the first author.
——After all, he is the only one in the entire A who shouts Ye Wangxing.
"I didn't expect Ye Wangxing to be so amazing. He published a paper in his freshman year. But what's the matter with this co-first author?"
Mu Bai asked with some confusion, and a classmate from the Computer Science Department kindly explained it to him and also repeated the gossip that had been spread from Li Qing and the others.
"…Although everyone says Ye Wangxing is a love-brained person, who wouldn't want their lover to be as ambitious as they are and also give them a love-brain treatment?"
A classmate next to him said with admiration, and Mu Bai also felt a sincere envy.
——So he chose to take this paper to find Gu Yan.
I asked him if I could be included as a co-author when he published his paper in his senior year.
Then……
"Co-first author? I don't even dare to read the paper I wrote, and you still want to be added as a co-first author? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
Gu Yan objected vehemently.
"I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. I just want our names to be written together. Isn't that good?! Or do you not want this? Do you hate me?"
As Mu Bai spoke, he became more and more excited.
The students watching around: …
The computer student who just spoke slapped himself in the face because he just said that unnecessary words.
But what shocked them even more was yet to come.
10 minutes later…
"That's the rooftop, you can't go up there!"
As the voice was heard, the instructor almost fainted as he looked at the two people teetering on the rooftop of the construction site.
But no, she even has to call the students' families!
Along with the counselor's grief and indignation, the phones of several students' families in City A rang one after another.
"——Hello, I am Gu Yan/Mu Bai's counselor. He is on the rooftop and is about to jump down. Please come over quickly!" X3
