World 2
Yang Zheyu was on the fence about the system's attempt to create a video showcasing him and Shang Feng. He didn't quite understand why the system was saying, "Someone would switch to supporting him and Shang Feng just by watching a video," but that didn't stop him from waiting and watching.
This may sound a bit ridiculous, but ever since Shang Feng made it clear to him that he didn't like Lu Xinian, and Shang's parents hosted a private banquet just for the two of them, Yang Zheyu no longer had anything to worry about.
Security and trust are such things. When the other party says they will give it to you, you will feel distrustful and think that they are just talking.
But once the other person really expresses it through actions, you will feel that there is no need to say these things specifically, because you can notice it yourself.
Without that so-called feeling of unease, Yang Zheyu became much more energetic than before.
He can devote more energy to handling company affairs, and many employees who are familiar with him joke that he now has the ability to make people happy.
But not all changes are good things, like now...
"Did she wink at you before she left?" Shang Feng's heavy voice echoed in the office. He locked the door, strode over, and then rested his hands on Yang Zheyu's desk. "...She did wink at you just now, right?"
It looks very oppressive, but because I am jealous, it doesn't feel oppressive.
Yang Zheyu raised his head and explained to him calmly: "She already has a lover."
This kind of conversation happens about twice a day now.
Yang Zheyu's mood has changed from 'I think you can try not to think too much' to 'It's okay, I'll explain, everything can be explained'.
Things like jealousy still depend on the relationship between two people.
If a conversation like this arises when one person isn't comfortable with it, it can become troublesome and could even lead to a breakup. But if it's something both parties can accept, jealousy can become a hobby between the two. This is like him and Shangfeng right now.
"--Okay." Shang Feng sat down on the sofa next to Yang Zheyu's desk, and naturally picked up the pillow on the sofa and hugged it in his arms. "Then why did she look for you just now?"
A man who is about 1.8 meters tall and wearing formal clothes holding a pillow is really a bit of a contrast.
"She came here mainly to chat with me." Yang Zheyu answered as he took out his phone from his pocket and took a few photos of Shang Feng. He didn't even turn off the flash. "She missed the trip she had originally planned with her fiancé because she was busy with work."
Shang Feng frowned: "What do you mean?"
Yang Zheyu put down his phone and went on to explain: "She was pregnant at the time, and according to company regulations, she should have taken maternity leave..."
Shang Feng's eyebrows suddenly raised: "So you didn't approve her leave at that time?"
Yang Zheyu couldn't stand it any longer. He took out a document that had already been approved from his desk and threw it towards where Shang Feng was sitting. "Try to interrupt me again?"
The document was in a folder and was not very heavy. Furthermore, Yang Zheyu had no intention of actually smashing it, so it began to fall towards the ground after only a short distance.
"I know I was wrong, really." Shang Feng was quick to take the document, flipped it over, and placed it on the black square coffee table in front of him. "...Go on."
"Maternity leave is ninety-eight days, but she returned to work before she had finished it," Yang Zheyu said. This time, he'd learned his lesson, and before Shang Feng could ask again, he added, "Don't worry, no one's docking her salary, and no one's telling her to hurry back. She just wanted to come back."
As for why he knew, it was of course because his image in the company was so good that many people liked to chat with him.
Chatting, in essence, is about one person confiding and the other listening, and confiding is more or less related to "complaining." After chatting so much, Yang Zheyu knew everything about these people in the company.
This man loves his wife very much, but he doesn't know what cosmetics to choose. Every few days before Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day and various anniversaries, he would come to Yang Zheyu to complain and ask him if he knew which cosmetics were better.
Yang Zheyu said I even think pink lipstick looks pretty good, so do you think I would know which makeup is better?
The other party said, "Oh, that's the case." Then I'll think of a solution.
Come and ask as usual next time.
The man was constantly being pressured by his parents to go on blind dates, and was struggling with whether to ask a colleague for help. He asked Yang Zheyu if he had any ideas. Yang Zheyu replied, "Do you think I have any ideas?"
That person said it looked like him, and it looked exactly like him! Really!
Yang Zheyu wisely didn't ask why.
"Did you approve her leave just now?" Shang Feng continued to ask.
"She asked for leave a few days in advance, and I approved it," Yang Zheyu replied. "She was supposed to be on leave today, but she still came to work half a day. She just wanted to chat with me before leaving."
The slight resentment in Shang Feng's heart had faded - he suddenly remembered that the person who had just come out of Yang Zheyu's office was one of the vice presidents of the group. Every time he was about to leave, he could see her tapping away at her workstation.
That scene made Shang Feng, a workaholic, feel scared.
He wasn't as spontaneous as Yang Zheyu, who could chat for hours with someone he didn't know well. So he went back to his office and called Yang Zheyu, asking him to come and help him get the other person off work quickly.
Yang Zheyu, who had already driven the car out of the parking lot, said "Okay", "I'll go back and take a look" on the other end of the phone.
...Maybe these two people became acquainted with each other at that time?
...So he was judging others by his own standards?
The man leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and thought for a while: "So she was winking at you just now and I was mistaken?"
Just when he was about to lament that he was going backwards in life, and that even his jealousy was so unreasonable, Yang Zheyu, who had previously answered all the questions, suddenly turned his chair around, facing Shang Feng instead of facing him.
Shang Feng realized something and silently put down the pillow in his hand.
"No, you didn't see it wrong." Yang Zheyu was silent for a moment before answering, "She did give me a wink when she left."
The soft office chair cushion leaned back because of Shang Feng's sudden approach. Yang Zheyu, who was sitting on the office chair, had to lean back due to the force of the chair, and the two men's eyes met.
Shang Feng looked Yang Zheyu up and down, with a hint of condemnation in his eyes: "You just said she was just chatting with you, and you also said she has a lover!"
Isn't this just misleading him with words?
"But I didn't say she didn't wink at me." Yang Zheyu tugged at Shang Feng's tie, this time showing a flattering smile, "But she winked at me to show off that she didn't have to go to work and was going out on a date with her lover next."
"It's your fault for showing off your affection in the company lately, which has forced me to max out my hatred."
"Well... then what did you mean by saying so much to me just now?" Shang Feng lowered his head along with his strength and kissed Yang Zheyu on the cheek. "Did you think I would be angry with you?"
Or do you want to divert his attention?
If Yang Zheyu's answer was the former, Shang Feng felt that he might feel a little sad.
If Yang Zheyu's answer was the latter, Shang Feng felt that he might be a little depressed.
"No, of course I know you won't get angry with me. I'm just afraid you'll suffocate yourself... and I think a step-by-step explanation will make you less angry." Yang Zheyu said, gently touching Shang Feng's face. "By the way, why did you come to see me? It doesn't seem like it's time for lunch yet, right?"
"Oh...oh! It's like this. The board of directors has decided on the company's production and operation plan for the next phase, as well as a new investment plan." After his wife's reminder, Shang Feng also remembered the reason why he came to see him. "I thought of coming to tell you about it so that you can make a plan earlier than others."
"Other people's special treatment is always done in secret, how come you do it so openly?" Yang Zheyu said this while subconsciously glancing outside his office. "...Wait a minute, you didn't just come here after the meeting?"
I don’t know if it’s because the two of them have already talked it out, but Shang Feng is becoming more and more outrageous in his actions, as if he is afraid that others don’t know that they are a couple.
However, if someone asks Yang Zheyu whether he likes this change or not, Yang Zheyu will definitely answer that he likes it.
What a joke! Of course he likes this kind of partiality, he likes it very much.
First, it did not affect the company, and second, it did not cross the line.
"Is there still anyone in the entire company who doesn't know about your relationship with me?" Shang Feng coughed, "So, are you going to listen or not?"
Although he seemed to be asking Yang Zheyu's opinion, he had already made up his mind: even if Yang Zheyu didn't listen, he would still speak.
They had just finished their meeting when he walked towards Yang Zheyu's office.
The senior executives who passed by probably noticed that he had become different after spending the past few days with him. His temper was much better than before, and they even dared to tease him.
"Young man, tsk tsk tsk."
"I was like that when I first started dating my wife, too. Tsk tsk tsk."
"Good love can really change a person, tsk tsk tsk."
The previous jokes were a little more contained, and people were mostly expressing their wishes of "blessings to you", but the jokes now are just real jokes.
Shang Feng felt that if he continued listening, he could dig out another Zhengxing Group for himself with his toes.
If Yang Zheyu refused to listen now, wouldn't that be an insult to all the teasing he heard along the way and the mood he had to stand outside the office door for a while before calming down?
Fortunately, Yang Zheyu did not give Shang Feng the answer he didn't want.
"You speak, I listen."
…
The system suddenly appeared beside Yang Zheyu when the week was about to end, and the moment it appeared, it said that it had brought good things to the host this time.
Yang Zheyu was about to be happy when he saw the ball of fur appear, but the next second he fell silent because of the "good stuff" the system said.
It wasn't that he doubted the system... Mainly, he wanted a cheat code, but the system said there was no such thing. He wanted his love rival to disappear, but the system said we don't support illegal behavior.
It always feels weird that he disappears for a while and then suddenly appears, saying he has something good to show him.
[This is definitely good stuff!] Maoqiu read the host's thoughts and quickly added, [I'll upload it to the host's computer right now!]
"...Okay." Yang Zheyu just said these two words, and the next second he hugged his notebook, "Wait, don't put it in the C drive of my computer!"
[Okay, okay.] Maoqiu said this very straightforwardly, [I put them on drive E, host, open it and take a look!]
As expected, an extra folder appeared in the E drive of the laptop. Yang Zheyu took a deep breath—he was ready!
He moved the mouse and clicked on the folder.
What caught my eye were videos, videos, and more videos, and the covers were all of him and Shang Feng.
Yang Zheyu had actually subtly sensed something was wrong at this moment, but the feeling slipped away too quickly and he couldn't catch it.
Clicking on the first video, it was indeed a video of him and Shang Feng, but... it was shot like some campus youth drama.
Yang Zheyu watched half of it and decisively chose to exit, then quickly clicked on the next video.
The protagonists of this video are still him and Shang Feng, but the background is different from the previous ones. This time it is an urban love story.
Yang Zheyu didn't quite understand how the system could produce such magical effects with just that little footage.
Not only did the system combine all of his and Shang Feng's previous interview videos, videos taken by others, and videos of press conferences, it also thoughtfully added a background music so sweet it made your teeth ache.
The sweet background music and the deliberately slowed-down tempo turned the two promising young men into a couple who would die if they didn't look at each other more.
If this was someone else's video, Yang Zheyu might have said it was good, well shot, and the storyboards and transitions were textbook-level.
But this happened to be between him and Shang Feng, and he could remember the general contents of every video. Yang Zheyu felt that he was about to die of shame.
"Are all the videos to come like this?" he asked without hope.
The fur ball moved, seemingly nodding. "Yes, and there are all kinds of versions. Suspenseful romance! Love-hate relationship! And childhood sweethearts!"
"Is this the good thing you just told me about?" Yang Zheyu continued to ask it.
"Why not? Lu Xinian was able to act like a demon before because a former classmate uploaded a video of them back then! We need to learn to defeat magic with magic." The system argued, "But unfortunately, the system can't interfere with other humans, nor can it actively leave anything about the system in this world."
【So these videos need to be uploaded by the host himself. 】
"So I have to upload these videos myself?" Yang Zheyu pointed at himself with a confused look on his face. "If I upload this, then when people mention Shang Feng and I, won't it be..."
[Host!] Of course the system didn't know what he was about to say, so it decisively interrupted Yang Zheyu's words, "...Don't worry. A serious partner of the Zhengxing Group wouldn't be so idle as to search for these videos."
Rather than focusing on your love with Shangfeng, they will be more inclined to focus on the benefits that Zhengxing can bring to them.
[As for the rest of the people who searched for these things...] Seeing Yang Zheyu remained silent, the system continued, [In a sense, they are the same people who originally caused Zhengxing to be caught up in public opinion—they don't care about the truth of the matter and are easily misled by false impressions.]
[Different methods are necessary for dealing with different people.] The system made its final conclusion, [Is that right, host?]
Yang Zheyu did not answer the system's question.
He is not the type of person who needs to think for a long time before doing anything.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed to Shang Feng's house immediately after receiving Shang Feng's call, and he would not have chosen to keep the appointment after knowing what Lu Xinian was thinking.
Yang Zheyu's shrewd side is mostly directed at outsiders. When it comes to matters concerning people he knows, he is a simple-minded person.
However, even the most honest person will not be so honest one day.
"I see." Yang Zheyu thought for a moment, "Let me think about what platform this kind of video should be posted on."
[I've made a list for you in advance!] How could the system not be prepared? [The host only needs to create an account, but you still need to choose a username... I'll do that!]
Yang Zheyu agreed. These videos were originally made by the system, and the right to name the account should also be given to the system.
He waited for a while and saw the system take out the wooden sign with words on it again.
Yang Zheyu looked at the words on the wooden sign and hesitated: "...A couple is more important than anything else?"
You are a system after all, can't your naming taste be a little more sophisticated?
Could you be a little more tasteful?
[Take this!] The system said, [Host, you are a human being, so you must know the principle of listening to others' advice and eating your fill, right?]
"I understand, but I don't quite understand it now." Yang Zheyu answered while typing the last word "Tian" in his online name.
Forget it, no one will know who opened this account anyway.
