Chapter 133 Prelude to the Exposing

Exposed

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Yuzhou in front of him looked worried: "But I have sent him many messages, and he has not replied to any of them so far. Not to mention the phone calls, no one answered. I even suspected that he had fainted at home."

Colleagues were surprised and asked, "No way?"

"Maybe he doesn't want to pay attention to you."

"I think you're overthinking it. Who would like to be harassed by colleagues calling on the phone during their holidays? Just relax."

Jiang Yuzhou was silent for a while. Although what they said made sense, Chi Dong didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"...I still feel something is not right. Does anyone of you have his address? I want to take half a day off after dinner to go see him." Jiang Yuzhou was still worried. Although he had not known Chi Dong for a long time, he inexplicably had a strange liking for him and always felt that they would become very close in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed two figures that were so familiar to him.

"...ge?" Jiang Yuzhou opened his mouth, but before he could shout out, he was stopped by Bu Qianli's indifferent and sharp eyes, so he swallowed the word "brother" that was about to come out of his mouth.

"Hey, what are you doing? Is there anything interesting behind?" Seeing his strange look, the others were curious and were about to turn around to look. But before they could act, there was a "ding" sound above their heads, and the elevator reached the first floor.

Jiang Yuzhou understood his cousin's personality and knew that they didn't like being surrounded by outsiders, so after receiving the signal, he coughed twice and raised his voice to attract their attention.

"Everyone, I suddenly feel a little dizzy. It might be... the air in the elevator is not circulating. It's too stuffy. Why don't we go out first?" He said loudly while pretending to be weak and about to faint. The others were so scared that they immediately forgot about what happened in the elevator and kept circling around him anxiously.

"What? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want us to take you to see a doctor?"

"Yes, there are different levels of dizziness. Let's take you to the hospital first and have dinner later."

"Xiao Jiang, did you miss breakfast this morning? Could it be that you have low blood sugar?"

Seeing that they were no longer paying attention to other people, Jiang Yuzhou followed their words and responded, "Maybe...right." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to wink at Bu Qianli and Bu Yan, urging them to hurry up.

Bu Yan originally wanted to invite him to have dinner together, but seeing this situation, he immediately swallowed the invitation, smiled helplessly, and then pressed the close button.

After the two men disappeared, Jiang Yuzhou stood up straight. He no longer pretended to be dizzy and half-dead. He smiled foolishly with a shameless face.

"No, I don't feel dizzy anymore. Let's go eat first."

"You're getting better so quickly? Are you really not going to the hospital?"

"Really, no need. I just..." Jiang Yuzhou laughed awkwardly, his eyes wandering. "I'm too hungry. Yes, I'm too hungry, so that's why I'm like this. To express my apology, I'll treat you to dinner today."

"Wow, so generous."

"Okay, then I want to eat barbecue."

"I can grill meat."

"...Okay, let's go quickly, or there won't be any seats left."

Jiang Yuzhou followed behind them and caught a glimpse of the elevator light indicating that it was going down. It seemed that they were going to the underground parking lot on the first floor.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhou's tense shoulders finally relaxed a little, but the next second, his cell phone vibrated violently. He frowned subconsciously, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He picked it up and saw that it was indeed a message from his brother.

[Qianli]: Come to my office in an hour.

After seeing this message, Jiang Yuzhou felt that even eating dragon meat was not tasty anymore. Seeing his absent-minded look, several colleagues thought he was embarrassed that they saw him fainting and looking embarrassed, so they considerately changed the subject.

In fact, Jiang Yuzhou was worried that his brother would complain to his mother. After all, he had just openly asked for leave in the elevator. If his mother knew about it, she would definitely accuse him of not doing his job properly.

But then I thought, he just asked for leave to visit a colleague, my mother wouldn't blame him...

After eating the barbecue, everyone returned to the first floor of the company. Jiang Yu Saturday made an excuse that he wanted to meet an old classmate and asked everyone else to go back to the office first.

In fact, he waited until they went upstairs before quietly taking out a card from his bag, a universal pass that everyone wanted to have.

During lunch break, the hall was bustling with people. Jiang Yuzhou stood in a corner, glancing at the elevator not far away with the words "Exclusive for high floors" written on it. While no one was paying attention, he quickly swiped his card and walked in.

After arriving at the 21st floor, he didn't want to be seen by others, so he bypassed the secretariat, quietly opened the door of the president's office, and walked in quickly.

As soon as he entered, he was caught red-handed by Bu Yan.

"Hey man, why are you here?" Bu Yan was originally chatting with Bu Qianli. When he heard the noise, he thought it was Chen Lian who came in, but it turned out to be this guy.

He stepped forward and put his arm around Jiang Yuzhou's shoulders, looking as if he was about to smile. "Last time I asked you to work in my company, you refused to go. You even said you wanted to travel around the world and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. What? Have you seen all the mountains and rivers?"

"Brother Yan, this is not my fault. I was really planning to travel around the world, but the day before I left, my mother confiscated my ID and brought me to Brother Qianli." Jiang Yuzhou had a bitter face and his tone was full of accusations, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Besides, Qianli and my mom are in cahoots with each other, so my world travel is ruined!"

Bu Yan held him and sat him on the sofa, smiling with a gloating look on his face, "Tsk tsk tsk, poor brother Yu Zhou, it's really hard for you, you have to live the life of a social animal ahead of time."

Jiang Yuzhou snorted angrily, then pulled his hand away and turned to look at Bu Qianli who was working diligently on the office chair beside him.

"Brother, what's the matter with you calling me over? I have to go out soon!"

Hearing this, Bu Qianli paused in signing, lowered his eyes and glanced at the phone screen, "Who is your colleague?"

"...Didn't I tell you in the elevator before? It's just a colleague, a man." Jiang Yuzhou explained, "I don't have any casual relationships with men and women in the company. Of course, I don't have any gay relationships either, so don't worry."

After saying that, he paused, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he said with a playful smile, "Brother, let's discuss it. Don't tell my mother about this. I'm afraid she will think of some weird things. Well, you know she controls me very strictly."

“…”

Bu Qianli said nothing, neither agreeing nor refusing. Seeing his serious look, Jiang Yuzhou thought he wanted to refuse, and suddenly became anxious.

"You also know my colleague, the one called Chi Dong. He got drunk at the party last Friday night and you even sent him home."

Jiang Yuzhou muttered softly: "... But, speaking of this, were you a little too fierce to me that night? After all, I am your brother, and a cousin is also a brother, and I am a straight man. Do you know that the way you looked at me that day was as if I..."

It's like I stole your wife!

The pair of inky black eyes looked at him coldly. Jiang Yuzhou was frightened and did not dare to finish the rest of his complaints. He could only silently diss him in his heart.

"…My aunt was in a hurry that day, and you were drunk and couldn't drive. As your brother and the leader of the company, it was my duty to send my subordinates back home."

Jiang Yuzhou didn't dare to talk back, but muttered in his heart: But I am also your subordinate, why didn't you give me a ride back, and you left me alone in the hotel, all alone and helpless.

Bu Qianli lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and asked in a tone that was neither salty nor bland, "What happened to him?"

Bu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa listening to their conversation, felt more and more that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for the time being.

Jiang Yuzhou, who has always been carefree and a little bit stupid, didn't realize that Bu Qianli was just trying to fool him, and without thinking, he told him about Chi Dong's leave for the past few days.

"...After that night, he took three days of sick leave. He didn't answer my calls or text messages. He told me before that I was the only friend he had made in the company, so I was so worried."

Jiang Yuzhou was puzzled: "Oh, by the way, brother, didn't you send him home last time? Did something happen during that time?"

"..." Bu Qianli remained silent, her voice as calm as usual, "No, since you want to visit your friends, then go ahead. I've approved your afternoon off."

Jiang Yuzhou was so happy that he grinned and laughed out loud, his eyes sparkling. "Thank you, brother. I'll go to the Human Resources Department to get the address now."

Bu Qianli stopped him calmly: "No, I have some here."

"Huh? Brother, do you have his address?"

Without waiting for Bu Qianli to answer, he said to himself, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you sent him back. Of course you have the address."

"...Yes, I sent you the address."

Jiang Yuzhou turned around excitedly and wanted to leave, but he was stopped as soon as he took a step.

"etc."

Jiang Yuzhou paused and looked back in confusion.

"After seeing him, come up to me and report on his condition."

"Why?" Jiang Yuzhou scratched his head in confusion. Why did he have to come back and report to his leader after visiting a friend?

Bu Qianli did not explain too much, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no need to ask why. Just go down."

"...Okay, then I'm leaving. Goodbye, Brother Yan and Brother Qianli." Jiang Yuzhou couldn't figure out what was wrong with his brother. He asked him to report for no reason, and he wanted to report such personal matters. It was really strange.

After Jiang Yuzhou left, he sat on the sofa and leisurely ate the fruit that his secretary Mandy had peeled earlier. His phoenix eyes were fixed on someone, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, what a stuffy man.

If anyone is favored by him, it would be a blessing or misfortune.

"Tsk, your brother is really deceptive."

"..." Bu Qianli glanced at him silently, then lowered her eyes and continued working.

…………

Let’s not talk about what the two people in the office were talking about, nor whether Jiang Yuzhou went to Z University that day and found the person. We only know that Chi Dong returned to work after his leave early the next morning.

There is still one month left before the start of school. Chi Dong knows that the school will not arrange many courses for senior year, so some students will find someone to help substitute for them. I will continue to intern in the company and strive to get a chance to become a full-time employee.

Chi Dong had thought about it before and had hopes for the regularization quota, but he knew that in a large company like ET., regularization quotas were rare and would always go to the capable, so he had to fight for it.

Among this group of interns, there are so many outstanding people, including top 1 or 2 elites from both home and abroad.

In addition, he had to face the embarrassing situation of being a fool and confessing his love to her. In order to avoid suspicion, he was probably not going to be allowed to stay.

"Good morning, Chi Dong." Chi Dong had just walked out of Manager Liu's office when he ran into Jiang Yuzhou who was walking out of the elevator.

"Good morning." Chi Dong saw that he had squinted eyes and obvious dark circles under his eyelids, and thought that he didn't sleep well last night.

Yesterday, Jiang Yuzhou suddenly went to the school to find him. When they were chatting, he found out that he was worried that he might have an accident, so he took a special leave to see him.

Chi Dong appreciated his kindness, and to thank him for coming all the way to the school, Chi Dong specially treated him to a good meal. Even if Jiang Yuzhou didn't come, he would go to work as usual the next day, after all, he only took three days off.

In fact, Chi Dong himself knew that what he said on that drunken day was because the internship deadline was getting closer and his inner anxiety was getting heavier, so he revealed his true feelings when he recognized the wrong person.

But what he didn't expect was that it was him.

He confessed again afterwards in order to have no regrets. Of course, he also expected that he would be rejected, so he has been trying to adjust his mentality in the past few days. However, his heart still hurts when he occasionally recalls the scene of that day.

Jiang Yuzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he looked normal and in good spirits. After he went to Z University and saw him yesterday, he was sure that something must have happened that day, otherwise why would Chi Dong's face be as pale as a paper man, without a trace of blood?

Jiang Yuzhou kept his doubts in his heart. He wanted to ask but was afraid of touching upon his sorrow, so he endured it and accompanied him to stroll around the nearby business district for a while. Afterwards, they had an expensive dinner that was not commensurate with the price. In the middle of the meal, he received a call from his cousin, who kept urging him to leave and not to stay too long to disturb his rest.

Jiang Yuzhou was so angry that he almost hung up the phone, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He was horrified! !

If he dared to hang up his brother's phone, he wouldn't have to wait until the next day. That very night his mother would reward him with a meal of braised pork with rattan sticks, making him deeply understand the consequences of "hanging up the phone."

Chi Dong was a little curious: "Why did you come to the company so early today?"

Normally, I see Jiang Yuzhou clocking in and out at a punctual time. It's only 8:40 now, and there are still a full 20 minutes before work starts, and I actually see him in the office. It's really rare to see him.

"Let me tell you..."

Jiang Yuzhou was about to open his mouth to complain, but the words were already on his throat and he swallowed them back into his stomach. If he were a dog now, Chi Dong would definitely see that his ears were drooping and he was looking gaunt with his head down, which was extremely pitiful.

He can't say that this is all his brother's fault, right?

If he hadn't inexplicably insisted on making him travel all the way back to the company to report on Chi Dong's condition, and then asked him a lot of strange questions, and only allowed him to go home very late.

As a result, he had not slept for a few hours when his mother pulled him out of bed early in the morning, saying that she wanted him to exercise and strengthen his physique.

In order to avoid the painful and torturous morning exercises, he had no choice but to refuse, saying that he wanted to work hard and learn from his cousin, and only then did he get away.

If this matter were to be told to others, wouldn't Chi Dong know that he also got into the company through the back door? No, no, he had promised his cousin not to tell anyone else about their relationship.

"What?"

"Say... well, it's like this, I, I've been exercising recently, so I got up early, yes, that's it." Jiang Yuzhou's mind was spinning rapidly, and he started talking nonsense.

Chi Dong did not notice his abnormality, but nodded seriously with admiration in his eyes, "Healthy life is good."

"Yes, yes, I..." Before Jiang Yuzhou finished speaking, Chi Dong's cell phone rang.

"You answer the phone first, I'm going to the bathroom." Jiang Yuzhou suddenly remembered that he went out early today and hadn't washed his face yet. If he met his goddess later and she saw him in this sloppy state, he would be in trouble.

"Okay." Chi Dong walked to the empty tea room and answered the phone. "Hello."

"Hello, Chi Dong? I'm Fang Fang. Have you arrived at the company?" Fang Fang is the new master assigned to Chi Dong by Manager Liu. She is capable and has a good personality. She has taught him a lot.

"I'm at the company."

"It's like this. Today the secretariat urgently needs a planning proposal. The draft is on my desk. I'm on a business trip and can't get back to the company in time. Please send it to the secretariat now."

"Okay, I understand."

"Wait, before you send it over, scan the other document on the table and send it to Special Assistant Chen's mailbox."

"...Sister Fang, please wait for a moment." Chi Dong walked quickly to Fang Fang's desk and quickly found the document she wanted to scan according to what the person on the other end of the phone said.

Chi Dong took a look at the scanner placed next to him. It was clean and tidy, without a trace of dust. It seemed to be well cared for.

But...why is there no response when I turn it on?

Chi Dong tried several times but couldn't open it. He was so anxious that his eyebrows were furrowed. A colleague nearby heard the noise and came over to help try it but it didn't work. "It must be broken. I'll tell the logistics department for you and ask them to arrange someone to fix it."

"Okay, thank you Brother Yang."

"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake."

Chi Dong tried to call Fang Jie back, but the only response was "Please call back later". Helplessly, he told her on WeChat that the scanner was broken.

After waiting for about ten minutes, she replied that the document was not confidential and asked him to find a scanner to scan it and send it over.

Seeing that she said so, Chi Dong had no choice but to return to his seat and quickly scan the data with his scanner.

When it was time to send it, he originally wanted to use Sister Fang's email, but he didn't know her password, so he thought it wasn't a confidential document anyway, so he might as well use his own email.

After confirming that the delivery was correct, Chi Dong hurriedly took the plan to the 21st floor. When he went up, all the secretarial staff were sitting at their posts, busy as hell.

Chi Dong has been in the company for several months and his internship will be over soon, so even if he is face-blind, he can still tell who the head of the secretarial department is.

He walked straight over and handed the plan to a person named Mandy, who was the head of the secretariat.

Originally there was a person named Linda who was also the head of the secretarial department, but I heard that she made a mistake and was fired. Now Mandy is the only one in charge.

So she is the busiest person besides Chen Lian.

She took the document handed to her by Chi Dong, opened it and flipped through a few pages. Seeing that there was no problem, she nodded and signaled that he could leave.

Seeing this, Chi Dong didn't dare to stay any longer and walked towards the elevator.

He doesn't want to meet Bu Qianli yet. He is not mentally prepared yet. He is worried that if he accidentally runs into her later, he will do something shocking.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw the elevator door slowly open and two people walked out, one of whom was the person he wanted to avoid the most.

Chen Lian followed behind Bu Qianli and reported today's schedule to him. Unexpectedly, after the staircase door opened, Bu Qianli, who was walking in front, stopped. Fortunately, Chen Lian was smart and stopped quickly, otherwise he would have bumped into him.

"Xiaodong." Bu Qianli saw Chidong when the elevator opened. The moment he saw him, a smile unconsciously appeared in Bu Qianli's dark eyes, and the cold aura around him gradually softened.

Chi Dong, who was caught red-handed, had a look of embarrassment and bitterness on his face. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he had no way to retreat and no place to hide, so he could only bite the bullet and walk forward, slowly walking to a position that was quite far away from both of them, lowering his eyes and head, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Hello, Bu-bu!"

“………” Bu Qianli was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, his handsome face suddenly turned dark, and he almost laughed out of anger.

When did he become so sensible? Look at his tone and actions, why do they make people feel so uncomfortable?

Bu Qianli thought that after meeting Chi Dong, he would feel better today, but unexpectedly, he felt even worse. He wanted to be angry, but he didn't want to lose his temper at the person in front of him, so his face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.

Bu Qianli suppressed his irritation and took a big step forward to get closer. "What are you doing here?"

"I, I'm here to deliver some documents." Chi Dong subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid his gaze.

Seeing his panicked look as if he was trying to avoid her, Bu Qianli laughed in anger, her tone indescribably cold, "Okay, okay, you're here to deliver the documents. Now that you've delivered them, hurry up and leave. This is not a place for an intern like you to come."
