Chapter 33: Reluctant to Let Go
After finishing a day's work, I rubbed my solar plexus at night and suddenly admired Baihe.
Bai He is gifted with intelligence. He helps Luo Pingfeng with ideas and suggestions every day. He also has to handle the overall affairs of the group and the summary reports of all subsidiaries.
I was already dizzy and confused just from dealing with the documents piled up on my desk all night.
"By the way, we also need to find a consulting lawyer to draft a financing contract."
I looked up and glanced at the time. It was not early yet, so I decided to let them go home.
"Boss Chi! Brother, it's time to get off work. Hurry home. Lao Xu said the weather forecast is orange for heavy rain."
Xiaowen hurriedly pushed open the door, stuck his head out, and heard a sound outside the window.
The sky suddenly darkened and heavy rain fell without warning, hitting the glass with a "bang bang bang" sound.
Xiaowen drove carefully while worrying, "Hey, I wonder if Lao Xu has put away my favorite blue tracksuit for me."
Xiaowen was in a hurry to go home to check his beloved sportswear, but was asked to turn left and go somewhere else at night.
"Xiao Wen, go to Lawyer Shi first."
Xiaowen was silent for three seconds, then turned left silently, but couldn't help but talk more.
"Brother, I don't know what you're planning, but if you don't need to, just let him go and stop provoking him."
Xiaowen risked being scolded for being "devious" and advised Chi Tiansheng to be a kinder person.
This time it was Lian Ye's turn to remain silent. He couldn't help but fall into self-doubt: How scheming is Chi Tiansheng? How much does he like to tease and play tricks on people?
Xiaowen follows Chi Tiansheng wholeheartedly, and even such a loyal dog can't help but advise him to be kind.
"I have no bad intentions. Lawyer Shi has been kind to me, and I just want to repay him." He almost swore to the sky that night, and swore to the lightning and thunder outside.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm relieved then. However, Lawyer Shi's way of doing things is different from ours. You'll need to work hard to become friends with him."
Xiao Wen was clearly gloating, and rolled her eyes at him, "Just focus on driving, you're the only one talking too much."
Lawyer Shi's law firm was dark. He was carrying his bag and sighing alone at the rain.
"Go back and collect the clothes first, and help me put away those shirts."
I opened my umbrella overnight and ran into the rain.
"You sent me back to collect my clothes, wasn't it just so you could have some time with Lawyer Shi? You think I'm too bright a third wheel, huh? Fine, I'll go back and collect my favorite sportswear."
Xiaowen stared at Chi Tiansheng outside the car window, looking as if he couldn't wait to run over. Anyone who saw him would know how much he liked Lawyer Shi.
Over the years, I have never seen such a light in Chi Tiansheng's eyes, a light full of love.
Xiaowen didn't know when Shi Mingguang opened Chi Tiansheng's heart, but it was better than keeping it closed.
Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Chi passed away unexpectedly and broke off completely with Luo Pingfeng, Chi Tiansheng never opened his heart to anyone again and could no longer trust friendship.
Although Shi Mingguang may not accept Chi Tiansheng as a friend, Xiaowen still cheers for his young master.
In the rain, a man holding an umbrella was walking hurriedly, not caring that the rain splashed on his brand-name trousers. Shi Mingguang couldn't help frowning.
Lian Ye stopped in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Lawyer Shi doesn't want to see me? You look sad when you see me."
Shi Mingguang moved his lips. He should have clarified the misunderstanding, but he was afraid of creating new misunderstandings.
[Your trousers are so expensive, but the hems are dirty.]
If I talk like this, Chi Tiansheng will mistakenly think that I "care and worry" about him.
Song Kang was right. We should not get any closer to Chi Tiansheng. We should try to avoid him and keep our distance from him.
Shi Mingguang was afraid that his eyes would reveal his true feelings, so he looked around unconsciously and whispered, "Mr. Chi, are you doing business nearby? Your company goes in the opposite direction to your home, right?"
[Because I'm not Chi Tiansheng, I'm Lian Ye, so when it rains heavily, the first thing I think of is you, Shi Mingguang.]
Lian Ye wanted to express his true feelings many times, but he didn't dare. He could only test Shi Mingguang's thoughts about him.
He didn't want to see me and wanted me to leave, leave immediately.
"I see. Lawyer Shi doesn't want to share an umbrella with me because he's afraid someone might see us and think we're on the same side of the world."
Lian Ye smiled bitterly and handed the umbrella in his hand to Shi Mingguang.
"There are many roads, and Lawyer Shi doesn't have to walk the same path as me. However, there is only one umbrella, and since we are walking different paths, only one person can hold the umbrella."
As he spoke, he stuffed the umbrella into his hand and turned to blend into the rain.
The heavy rain wet his soft hair and soaked his clothes.
Shi Mingguang didn't know how bad Chi Tiansheng was and how many bad things he had done.
But how bad can a person be who gives his umbrella to others and gets wet in the rain himself?
Shi Mingguang held the umbrella tightly, determined to catch up.
Although panting, he still tried his best to hold the umbrella to block the rain for Chi Tiansheng as soon as possible.
"Huh, I really don't understand Mr. Chi."
"Lawyer Shi, do you mean to give you an umbrella in the rain? Or do you mean to get wet in the rain and then have the umbrella given to you?"
Lian Ye smiled gently, and he wanted to tell Shi Mingguang that because he had been caught in the rain too much since he was a child, he knew what it felt like to get sick and have a high fever from the rain.
He didn't want Shi Mingguang to suffer these hardships, as he had suffered many times.
Shi Mingguang did not answer, but held the umbrella steadily, leaning slightly towards Lian Ye, and walked forward side by side.
"I heard that you hired the workers who were fired without reason by the Luo family, letting them make a living in the South Bank project, and even arranged nice accommodation for them."
Shi Mingguang knew that Chi Tiansheng had even found schools for the workers' children so that they could live a stable and well-fed life.
"You did a good thing for them, and I'm grateful to you. But what's your plan for meeting with Luo Pingcheng alone?"
Shi Mingguang stopped and looked up at Chi Tiansheng.
After running into Chi Tiansheng and Luo Pingcheng in the cafe, this question remained in Shi Mingguang's mind, disturbing his thoughts.
Several times, he wanted to ask Chi Tiansheng, but then asked himself: Who are you to Chi Tiansheng? What qualifications do you have to ask?
In the heavy rain, Chi Tiansheng came to bring him an umbrella. The two of them held the same umbrella and walked on the same road. Shi Mingguang felt that it was time to ask.
I tried to recall it all night, but I still couldn't remember meeting Shi Mingguang that day.
It seemed that he didn't notice it, because Luo Pingcheng's plan to betray Luo Pingfeng brought him such a great shock that he didn't even notice Shi Mingguang outside the cafe.
"For business transactions, it's a proper contractual financing cooperation, don't worry."
Lian Ye also stopped and answered the question seriously like a student, with clear and sincere eyes.
"I, I have nothing to worry about. I don't understand business matters. You can judge for yourself."
The Luo family is not a good family. If you do business with them, you will get into trouble in minutes.
Shi Mingguang realized that he was worried about Chi Tiansheng and was a little annoyed at himself for meddling in other people's affairs.
Chi Tiansheng is not a pushover either. He used tricks to snatch Luo Pingfeng's South Bank project, and now he is colluding with Luo Pingcheng to stab Luo Pingfeng in the back.
If you really think about it, Chi Tiansheng is more terrifying than Luo Pingfeng.
Shi Mingguang stared at Chi Tiansheng unconsciously. This face seemed harmless, handsome and handsome, but his true nature was impossible to guess.
"Be careful, Lawyer Shi."
Shi Mingguang subconsciously stepped back, not noticing the steps behind him, and almost fell backwards.
She hugged him promptly and brought him into her arms to prevent him from getting wet by the rain that swept in from the side.
"It's okay, thank you."
Shi Mingguang didn't think much about it, he just withdrew from the warm embrace with gratitude. When he looked up again, the man's ears were red.
He was the one who took the initiative to protect himself, but he was shy?
I originally thought Chi Tiansheng was a playboy who was used to having girls everywhere, but it seems that he is just an innocent man who only knows how to calculate business.
Shi Mingguang couldn't help but smile and relaxed his guard.
"At least Lawyer Shi didn't treat me like a bad guy and was willing to smile in front of me."
Lian Ye spoke gently, and the blush on her ears gradually faded away. She found that it was Shi Mingguang's turn to blush this time.
"Well, I can hold the umbrella by myself, or should I let you hold it?"
Shi Mingguang reminded him embarrassedly, and only then did he realize that his hand was tightly covering Shi Mingguang's hand.
I was in such a hurry to grab him, fearing that he would fall, that my other hand grabbed the umbrella handle as well, and I held onto the other hand on the umbrella handle.
Lian Ye once thought that if at some moment the real "Chi Tiansheng" came back and wanted to take back this body, he would have to disappear.
My body has probably already rotted somewhere and gradually disappeared.
It is human nature to return a healthy body to its rightful owner.
At this moment, Lian Ye became overly selfish.
I hope that the real "Chi Tiansheng" has exchanged souls with me and will sleep forever in that rotten body.
It turns out that he is such a vicious and cruel person.
It turned out that he was so reluctant to part with Shi Mingguang.
Lian Ye did not move his hand away immediately, but just stared at the person in front of him, unwilling to look away for even a second.
Being able to share an umbrella with Shi Mingguang and be so close to him is not a dream, it is reality.
The warmth and softness conveyed by Shi Mingguang's hand completely ignited the flame of greed in Lian Ye's heart, burning fiercely, burning away his bottom line, principles and guilt.
God gave him another chance to live, and let him get closer to the light in his heart. So what if he was selfish? So what if he became a bad person?
Lian Ye didn't want to let go. If the only way to stay with Shi Mingguang was to completely replace "Chi Tiansheng", then let's do it.
