World 2
Perhaps no one knows Shang Feng's character better than Yang Zheyu, who used to be his best friend and then his lover.
Shang Feng has already said this, and his attitude was very sincere when he said this.
They were both adults, so the awkwardness would end after a while. If it continued for too long, both of them would get tired of it. Yang Zheyu didn't continue to get angry with him.
Maoqiu also felt relieved.
It looks like this matter has been uncovered.
After that, the two went to work together as usual.
The people in the company had enjoyed the constant air conditioning at Shangfeng during Yang Zheyu's absence, and they were so cold they wanted to put on down jackets to go to work. Seeing that their 'savior' had finally arrived today, they were so excited that they wanted to throw Yang Zheyu up and catch him again.
However, as soon as someone made this suggestion, Yang Zheyu rejected it on the grounds that "I am too old and in poor health."
A group of people stared at him and fell into silence.
Yang Zheyu thought that they really wanted to play like this, so he had to say, "Okay, if you really want to play..." It's not a problem to play along.
But before Yang Zheyu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a very abrupt "Oh my god! Yeah, Lao Yang, you are only in your twenties now, why do we always feel like you are in your forties?!"
Even Yang Zheyu, who could handle anything, had to admit he was confused by this: "Huh?"
What the hell?
Is this a roundabout way of saying he's old, or is he trying to say he's quite young now?
It's only been a few days since he last came, but why does he seem to be unable to keep up with the pace of everyone's conversation?
Yang Zheyu felt that he could not keep up with the pace, but those people kept nodding as if they agreed with this statement.
Everyone in the circle nodded, but one person in the middle looked confused. The scene was really funny.
No one intended to tell Yang Zheyu: what this meant was that everyone would go to him when they had any problems, and had unconsciously regarded him as a mature person in his forties who could help solve problems.
If Yang Zheyu hadn't suddenly blurted out "I'm old and in poor health", they would have felt that something was wrong but couldn't tell what, and they might have continued like this.
Continue to treat Yang Zheyu, who is only in his twenties, as a man in his forties.
The bold newcomers who were deceived by Yang Zheyu's appearance did not understand what the expressions of the old employees in the company meant. After Yang Zheyu himself opposed their idea, they quickly surrounded Yang Zheyu.
Everyone was talking at once, one saying you were finally here, another saying that life has been unbearable these days!
They were talking happily, but Shang Feng, who was listening beside them, had a darker and darker complexion, and was about to become like Bao Gong.
The senior executives who knew the relationship between Yang Zheyu and Shang Feng certainly didn't dare to gossip about them in front of him. They only dared to talk to Yang Zheyu when Shang Feng was not around. But these young people were different. They were bold.
So not only did he dare to tease Yang Zheyu, he also dared to turn around and chat with Shang Feng after Yang Zheyu begged for mercy and left.
"While you're busy with your career, remember to hold on to your love!" Gao Wen is a typical example of this. She's currently putting her arm around Yang Zheyu's shoulder, acting like a good friend. With her other hand, she waves it aside, directing him to look at the steel jungle before him. "Abandoning one for the other is something only an idiot would do, you know?"
She's five years younger than him, but when she said that it sounded like a senior lecturing a junior.
Yang Zheyu, who had secretly gone to the rooftop to smoke but was caught by the little girl, now had a bitter face.
He didn't have the habit of smoking in front of people he wasn't particularly close to, so he had to put the cigarette back into his trouser pocket and said to the woman in front of him with a dry smile, "Okay, okay."
You're right, that's why I want to smoke.
As if hearing Yang Zheyu's wish to be rescued, Shang Feng, who came to catch him, pushed open the iron gate of the rooftop.
The iron door made an unusually heavy sound.
The two people standing by the fence also turned around and looked in the direction of Shang Feng.
Yang Zheyu looked helpless, while Gao Wen next to him looked excited and even waved at him.
Although a man and a woman were alone, the expressions on their faces made it hard to misunderstand that they had any ambiguous relationship.
Shang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
…
During that period, Yang Zheyu accompanied Shang Feng to think of ways to solve the company's cash flow problem.
The higher-ups didn't believe they could solve such a problem, so they left. The new blood that had just arrived felt that if the higher-ups couldn't solve it, they certainly couldn't, so another group of people left.
In the end, the only people left in the company were those who were determined to fight the other side to the end.
Because of that incident, Shang Feng became less trustworthy. He only trusted Yang Zheyu, the first person who called after the incident and asked him to open the door and then scolded him. So many things fell on their shoulders.
Yang Zheyu was forced to get involved in areas he had never been exposed to before.
He only has a vague understanding of many things here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has to start from scratch.
If emotions are left unaddressed for too long, they will turn into a mountain of garbage. Yang Zheyu understood this truth well, but he also knew that time waited for no one, and he still had to bear this heavy pressure.
Shang Feng is now on the verge of collapse, and he can no longer go to the other party to complain.
So Yang Zheyu learned to vent his emotions by smoking, and gradually became addicted to smoking. He would smoke one cigarette when he was bored, and he might smoke three cigarettes when he was irritated.
Shang Feng was not angry about this during that period. When he was in a bad mood, he would even smoke with Yang Zheyu.
The two of them just sat there in the middle of a pile of scattered documents, smoking opposite each other. They really looked like two idiots in a movie who were desperate but refused to give up.
Who is he competing with? I don't know, maybe it's just for the sake of pride.
Is that breath so important? I don't know, but I just want to fight for it.
Even if Yang Zheyu was in a bad mood, as long as there was someone around who was under the same pressure as him, he would find a way to entertain himself.
So he looked at Shang Feng, who was sitting in an unruly manner but looking at him at eye level, and deliberately spit the cigarette on Shang Feng's face.
It's very pungent and smells a bit spicy.
Shang Feng hated it when others did this to him, but the person doing this to him now was Yang Zheyu.
It was Yang Zheyu who rushed to help him immediately after knowing that he was isolated and helpless, it was Yang Zheyu who scolded him to wake him up, and it was Yang Zheyu who was willing to start from scratch for him even though he only had a vague understanding of many things.
He supported his chin with one hand, his eyes slightly narrowed because of smoking, and looked at Yang Zheyu who was deliberately making trouble for him.
This seems to have a different flavor.
Shang Feng didn't know what he was thinking at the time. It was obvious that Yang Zheyu was just doing this to be naughty, and he knew that the other party was his brother.
But at that moment, he seemed to be bewitched by something.
The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer...
It was so close that even a seasoned person like Yang Zheyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked Shang Feng what he wanted to do by getting so close.
Shang Feng did not answer, but put out the two cigarettes one by one, and then kissed Yang Zheyu on the lips.
He was always calm and composed in public, but when he faced Yang Zheyu, he would suddenly turn into a ball of fire. Even if Yang Zheyu was just doing something bad to him, he would be ignited and eventually spread like wildfire.
He thought the other party would push him away.
He thought Yang Zheyu would probably say it was disgusting.
But Yang Zheyu said nothing, he just raised his hand and held the back of his head to make the kiss deeper.
The pile of documents covered with various annotations and being turned over and over collapsed with a loud crash.
The two people in the mountain didn't care, and their hands moved more urgently because of the noise.
Yang Zheyu is not as addicted to smoking as he was back then, but he still smokes one or two when he has free time.
Shang Feng is different now. He will no longer leave Yang Zheyu smoking alone.
Now she will come over and catch her boyfriend smoking.
Shangfeng even introduced a rule prohibiting smoking in the company, with a line of small print under the rule: There is a reward for reporting.
Another line of small print: People in very high positions will also be punished.
It was not enough to announce this rule in the company's internal group, Shang Feng also emphasized this matter at the meeting.
There aren't many people who smoke in the company, but there's only one person, Yang Zheyu, who has a high position and still smokes in the company. This rule almost doesn't specify who it's targeting.
As soon as Shang Feng finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Zheyu.
Everyone knew about his relationship with Shang Feng, but they also knew Shang Feng's personality. Shang Feng always kept his public affairs in mind and his private affairs in mind.
Such a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private life could actually set such a rule just to prevent her boyfriend from smoking, and even emphasize it at the meeting.
What a rare thing this is!
Yang Zheyu continued to smile, even waving at the onlookers who were still giggling. "Go away, go away. What's there to see? Besides, they only talked about bonuses, but didn't say how much. Isn't that just empty talk? Don't you agree?"
He has a good personality and can take a joke. He usually takes the initiative to help everyone in the company, so he is popular.
A bunch of people answered yes out of respect for him, then dispersed with a smile and went about their business.
Yang Zheyu went into his office.
As soon as he entered the office, the expression on his face suddenly became a little resentful: It’s just one or two cigarettes, Shang Feng wouldn’t bully him like this, right?
Shang Feng: As for.
The next day, the company's boss updated the rule. The general meaning remained unchanged, except that 2,000 was written next to the bonus.
It’s hard to say that Yang Zheyu is just making empty promises this time.
A bunch of people looked at Yang Zheyu with ill intentions, and the brave ones even came over to tease him. The young man said, "Brother Yang, what should we do now? If I kill my own relatives for the sake of justice, will you hate me?"
Yang Zheyu put down his phone and said with a smile, "How can you be my relative? You are just trying to make up a relationship with me. Be careful, or my boyfriend will put you in a sack one day."
The other person immediately made a zipper-like gesture on his mouth and stopped talking, but he still had a grin on his face, looking really annoying.
Yang Zheyu wanted to resist this broken rule which was obviously aimed at him. He also tried to persuade Shang Feng, saying to Shang Feng, "How could you bear to treat me like this?"
But at this time Shang Feng would just look at him twice, and then say, "Smoking will kill you early. Do you want me to collect your body so early?"
Yang Zheyu was about to answer, but Shang Feng had already said three words before him: I don’t want to.
The words were rough but the truth was there. Yang Zheyu couldn't handle others doing good for him, so he could only close his eyes in pain and complain to his lover half-truthfully: "Quitting smoking is hard——"
Shang Feng heard that Yang Zheyu was about to give in, and added: "I don't want you to quit all at once, you can take your time."
From then on, Yang Zheyu only had one cigarette in his cigarette box. The rest were left with Shangfeng. When Yang Zheyu really wanted to smoke, he would ask his boyfriend for one.
As for whether he could get the cigarettes, it depended on his reason for wanting the cigarettes and Shang Feng’s mood at the time.
A pack of cigarettes that used to take a few days to finish may now take two weeks.
Both of them were familiar with each other's body language and the meaning behind their expressions, so Shang Feng understood what was going on just by looking at Yang Zheyu's expression.
Most likely, he had just arrived here and had no time to smoke when he was caught by Gao Wen.
The man stood beside Yang Zheyu, put his arm around his shoulder very naturally, and asked, "Who are you gossiping about? Take me with you."
Although both of them were her immediate superiors, their company never practiced respecting hierarchy during breaks. So Gao Wen wasn't intimidated by the company's top boss and even raised her hand to him.
When this girl first joined the company, she was very introverted. Later, she learned a lot from working with them. She also changed from only being able to lower her head when talking to people to being able to look them in the eye when talking.
The kid she had taught before was now able to handle things on his own, even daring to challenge the company's supposed boss. As one of the people who often helped her solve problems, Yang Zheyu felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"We're gossiping about you!" said Gao Wen, a girl with short hair. "I reported him for being alone here and saying bad things about you to me. Do I get a reward?"
Tip: Yang Zheyu withdrew a comment about a sense of accomplishment.
Yang Zheyu glanced at her, then looked at Shang Feng beside him.
This one was grinning, that one was smiling half-smile, all of them were waiting to see his show.
He was very good at flattering others, so he immediately put on a bitter face and said, "What's wrong with gossiping? It shouldn't be illegal, right, sir?"
He simply accepted the dirty water thrown at him by the little girl and imitated the tone of the characters in the Hong Kong drama.
"It's break time now," Shang Feng knew Yang Zheyu had taken the blame. He kissed Yang Zheyu on the cheek, then turned to explain to Gao Wen, "Our company doesn't have a rule against gossiping, so you won't get your bonus."
"Ah—?" The little girl covered her eyes just as he kissed her, but her fingers were still open. She lowered her hand, her lips agape with jealousy. "Can't you just have one more?!"
Yang Zheyu immediately made a cross sign on his chest: "No."
But life is always more dramatic than the plot of a soap opera, so the incident was not so easily over.
Lu Xinian was like a mosquito after turning off the lights. You couldn't see it, and you couldn't swat it even if you wanted to. You could only listen to it buzzing. Then you woke up the next day and found a red spot on your arm.
——Yes, Lu Xinian started to make trouble again.
For some unknown reason, he managed to get close to the CEO of a big company.
It just so happened that the boss was very interested in Zhengxing Group, which had been hit hard but stood up again.
He took the opportunity to get in touch with that person.
I just stood opposite and shook hands with them.
Shang Feng glanced at Lu Xinian opposite him, then quickly looked away without even a second glance.
Yang Zheyu next to him still had a smile on his face, but Shang Feng felt very panicked.
Even though he knew in his heart that there was nothing between him and Lu Xinian, and there would definitely not be anything, he did not want to go through such a Shura scene.
Shang Feng, who always kept public and private affairs separate, was even a little annoyed at this moment: I really don’t know what Lu Xinian is trying to do. Does he have to make everyone unhappy?
Shang Feng thought Yang Zheyu was angry, and Lu Xinian also felt that Yang Zheyu would definitely be angry about this.
But Yang Zheyu was not actually angry about Lu Xinian's arrival, because most of his attention had been diverted by the system on the side.
The thing that said it was a very long string of some kind of transformation system now had a very large wooden arrow on its head, and the arrow was pointing directly at Lu Xinian who was smiling gently at Yang Zheyu.
Written on the arrow were words in bold capital letters: A love rival not to be feared.
The system really thinks that Lu Xinian is not to be feared, but it knows what Shang Feng thinks of Lu Xinian.
What white moonlight and cinnabar mole, those are all nonsense!
Yang Zheyu first looked at the words "rival in love" on the wooden sign, and then he looked at the four words "not to be feared". The smile on his face suddenly became so bright that it was unbearable to look at.
Although this fur ball is unreliable, he really feels relieved now.
Lu Xinian was frightened by his laughter and subconsciously took a step back: Could it be that Yang Zheyu was mad at me?
Yang Zheyu did not get mad. He still talked about cooperation with these people, even though one of them was Lu Xinian, whom he hated the most.
Business talks can be done over a table or over tea. This time, there were only a few people on either side negotiating, and they weren't in a rush to close the deal, so they opted for the latter.
In the business world, Yang Zheyu is no match for Shang Feng, and no matter how careful he is, he will fall into a trap. But when it comes to negotiating cooperation, it's different. His ability in this area is ten times better than Shang Feng's.
This cooperation is beneficial to both parties. Zhengxing provides new energy that has just entered the market and is favored by many people, while the company there is responsible for providing manpower.
It was originally a win-win situation, but Lu Xinian just wanted to create obstacles.
He tried hard to connect with Zhengxing just to disgust Yang Zheyu, and no matter what, he couldn't let this cooperation go smoothly.
So sometimes they find faults, sometimes they find bones in eggs.
The questions he raised were very tricky, but from a cooperation perspective, they were necessary.
But those who discussed the cooperation were senior executives from both sides, and they were the smartest of the smart. They had seen all kinds of situations, so how could they not see what Lu Xinian was thinking?
The boss he hooked up with looked at Lu Xinian meaningfully and said nothing.
Of course, he wasn't that stupid to be "climbed up" by Lu Xinian so easily.
——It’s just that he thought Lu Xinian was of great use, so he pretended to be climbed up.
Everyone knows about the affair between Shang Feng and Lu Xinian. After all, people in the business world are different from those in politics. All their secrets can be exposed once they are dug out.
In addition, Shang Feng had never thought of hiding his sexual orientation and what happened at that time, so things like changing classes in the second year of high school, being together in the second year of high school, and going to the school library to study together were all found out easily.
There are even pictures of classmates at that time.
The specially added filter makes the two already immature male high school students look like the male protagonists in a campus drama.
So he brought Lu Xinian here now. First, Lu Xinian's ability is indeed good. Second, even if these two people are not as interesting as the outside world says, the existence of this person will definitely make Shang Feng uneasy.
To take a step back, even if Shang Feng was angry because of Lu Xinian's existence, he could just say that this person was not an employee of his company, but was introduced by an acquaintance and he was embarrassed to refuse.
If Shang Feng was not angry, it would also prove that the rumor that was widely spread was not groundless - he really still had feelings for Lu Xinian, otherwise how could he not be angry?
The more the boss thought about it, the more he felt that the latter was more likely.
He had even begun to imagine in his mind how these two people would thank him as the "matchmaker" after they got back together.
As for Yang Zheyu and Shang Feng, that was what happened between Lu Xinian and Shang Feng later.
He didn't believe that Yang Zheyu was so generous that he wouldn't hold a grudge against Lu Xinian, nor did he believe that Yang Zheyu and Shang Feng could really be together until the end.
People think like people, so Jia Gu, who decisively abandoned his wife who had shared hardships with him after making money, would think of Shang Feng as the same kind of person.
Shang Feng was extremely thick-skinned in some areas, so he didn't notice anything and had no idea what this so-called Mr. Jia's look meant.
At most, he felt a little annoyed by the other party's look and thought that he would never work with the other party again after this collaboration.
Shang Feng subconsciously felt that something seemed to be happening, but he didn't know what it was.
Yang Zheyu next to him had a cold look in his eyes.
He had already fought several rounds with Lu Xinian while they were talking. This man was like a mad dog with rabies. No matter whether your attitude was soft or hard, he would bite your leg tightly and not let go.
He rarely gets angry, but he is a little angry now.
