Chapter 50: Suppressing Bullying
Fu Qi'an didn't shift his gaze, staring blankly at the young man in front of him.
The other person came closer, and the closer he got, the more he could see the vibrant vitality in his eyes.
It's touching.
Fu Qi'an lowered his eyes, staring at his fingertips, and after a moment, he spoke.
"Come back to me tomorrow after you sign the contract with Song Kai."
"You didn't do any of the things you said."
Fu Qi settled down for a moment, raised the corner of his eye nonchalantly, and looked over there faintly.
"I will definitely sue you until you're bankrupt."
The man's voice melted into the breeze.
Zhu Yanshi's heart, which had been beating rapidly, gradually slowed down when he finished speaking.
He nodded, opened the car door attentively, and made a gesture of leaning forward.
"please."
Fu Qi'an got out of the car expressionlessly and raised his chin towards the driver who was standing and smoking not far away.
"You take him back to school."
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the villa yard and walked in. The moment he stepped in, a kitten that had been waiting at the door pounced over, but was caught by Fu Qi'an, who held it in his arms, a furry ball.
At this time, Fu Qian'an didn't mind the dirt on the other person, because he himself was not clean either. It wouldn't be too late to take a shower after he had dealt with this stinky cat who was a traitor.
The kitten, with its neck pulled, stared longingly at the back of the car driving away outside the door. Its sapphire eyes turned and stared at Fu Qi'an fiercely.
There was a long string of "Meow! Meow! Meow meow meow meow!"
Let me go! Let me go! Let me go, you bastard!
Fu Qi'an threw the cat into the small bathtub without changing his expression, and slammed it down with a cold sound.
"He approached us for a purpose. Don't be so attentive. Don't let him get the upper hand..."
It was as if he was talking to himself, frowning tightly, he grabbed a brush and used the shower water to brush the kitten from head to toe.
His expression was serious, as if he was treating his most satisfying and perfect work of art.
＊
Zhu Yanshi got out of the car, thanked the driver, and then looked down at the time on his phone.
He ran quickly towards the dormitory, climbed up the stairs two by two, and stood at the dormitory door panting. When he pushed the door open, he could hear Yuan Qing's gentle voice.
"I brought some for you too..."
The door of the dormitory hit the wall, making a loud noise. Zhu Yanshi didn't know why he was so excited.
Seeing Yuan Qing standing in the dormitory, he rushed over excitedly like a puppy.
"Why didn't you tell me when you arrived? I came to pick you up!"
Zhu Yanshi hung on Yuan Qing like a pendant. When he smelled the familiar fragrance on the other person, he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
Yuan Qing was caught off guard and was pounced upon by the puppy. He hurriedly put down the things in his hands, hooked one hand on the other's thigh, and put the other hand around the boy's waist.
There was a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.
"I want to give you a surprise..."
"What delicious food did you bring me?"
Zhu Yanshi jumped down from the other person and looked down at the things on Yuan Qing's table, which was piled with various snacks and specialties.
The other party raised his hand and waved it towards the table.
"I bought them all for you!"
Zhu Yanshi was so moved that he almost cried. The more he looked at the things brought back on the table, the more he felt that Yuan Qing was a very good person.
He has to kowtow to someone.
Zhu Yanshi was halfway through ordering things when he suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly.
He was so happy just now that he forgot about what Skinny said to him some time ago. Hadn't he made up his mind to bring their relationship to a level that was comfortable for both of them?
Don't get too intimate...
The light in Zhu Yanshi's eyes gradually dimmed. He picked up a small box of chocolates from the table and took a step back.
"I'll just eat this..."
The voice paused, and Zhu Yanshi licked his lips irritably.
"…Thanks."
He turned around and sat down at his desk.
Yuan Qing's expression, which was originally smiling at Zhu Yan, suddenly froze. He narrowed his eyes, then glanced coldly at the other two people in the dormitory.
It happened that at this moment the thin man glanced over here with a particularly guilty look. Yuan Qing calmly withdrew his gaze and returned to his usual gentle expression.
After putting everything on the desk on Zhu Yanshi's desk, Yuan Qing silently organized his schoolbag.
He lowered his head and said nothing, looking aggrieved like a bullied little white rabbit.
His whole body was shrouded in a layer of gloom. He huddled pitifully in a corner, writing his diary silently by himself.
Zhu Yanshi pretended to look down at his phone, but his eyes would occasionally fall on the mirror on the table, which could reflect the behavior and expression of the person behind him.
Zhu Yanshi tried hard to suppress the impulse in his heart, but after several attempts, he finally gave in when he saw the other person's lonely look from time to time.
He turned the stool around and faced Yuan Qing, pretending to be indifferent and asked.
"Have you made any new friends during your time away?"
Yuan Qing paused while writing with the pen in his hand. The cold expression in his eyes slowly faded. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head, and looked at Zhu Yanshi with pitiful eyes.
"They are classmates, you are their friend."
The man's eyes were serious.
Zhu Yanshi felt even more guilty, thinking that he was neither a good person nor a good person. The other party treated him as his best friend, and relied on him wholeheartedly, cared about him, and took care of him.
He didn't appreciate it at all and even wanted to push the person away.
He's like a scumbag who is thrown away after use!
Yuan Qing only has himself as a friend in his gloomy world. It is normal for him to rely on him and pay special attention to him.
Besides, there is no such thing as privacy when living in such a collective environment. He and Yuan Qing grew up together, so it is impossible for them to have any secrets from each other.
So what does it matter if the other party pays closer attention?
Zhu Yanshi was a soft-hearted person and could not stand Yuan Qing's lonely look.
He stood up, leaned over, and patted the other person's shoulder.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to make friends, then don't make any."
His fingers were suddenly grabbed.
Yuan Qing's eyes fell on Zhu Yanshi's arm wrapped in gauze.
"Injured?"
Zhu Yanshi curled his lips indifferently.
"It's okay, it's almost healed."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Yuan Qing looked up, his eyes full of concern.
"I don't want to worry you. Besides, it's not a big deal."
Zhu Yanshi didn't care much about it. The wound on his hand had almost healed. The blisters had disappeared and scabs had formed. It would be completely healed in a few days.
Besides, someone gave him expensive scar removal medicine...
Zhu Yanshi didn't care about the wound on his hand. After Yuan Qing came back, he took on this responsibility and supervised Zhu Yanshi to apply medicine every day.
Sometimes when the other person was sleeping in bed, he would walk up the stairs and carefully check on the recovery of the wound on Zhu Yanshi's wrist.
I was so worried that I wished the wound could be on my own body.
Zhu Yanshi personally feels that this is a bit of an exaggeration...
＊
the next day--
After Zhu Yanshi finished his morning class, he needed to take a bus to the Song Group in the afternoon. He needed to negotiate with Song Kai and have absolute say after Fu Qi'an signed the cooperation agreement.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, so he promised to give the other party an answer today.
The contract must be signed today without any mistakes.
The car stopped at the gate of the Song Group. Zhu Yanshi turned around and glanced at the office building towering into the clouds.
The office building also has a strong sense of design and is the most iconic building in the city, known as the "Slender Waist".
As you step into the company's door, the receptionist stands upright facing the door and bows politely with a smile when someone comes in.
"Welcome to the Song family."
Zhu Yanshi trotted over. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, a navy blue baseball cap on his head, and navy blue sweatpants. He looked particularly clean.
"Sister, I'm looking for Mr. Song. Could you please transfer me?"
The receptionist listened to Zhu Yanshi patiently, then shook her head with a fake smile.
"Sorry, you can only see Mr. Song by appointment."
Zhu Yanshi understood why these wealthy bosses issued this order, but from the perspective of a worker, it was really annoying.
He will treat this terrible world with all his malice!
No rebuttal accepted!
"Please help me make the call... and tell him that Zhu Yanshi wants to talk to him about something important!"
The boy looked at the receptionist expectantly with his bright eyes, and took out a handful of various candies from the messenger bag on his shoulder.
"Sister, you eat."
The candies were placed on the table, coupled with the boy's pleading eyes, looking pitiful.
No one can resist a handsome young man who comes up to you and pays attention to you and whose lips are as sweet as honey.
The other party kept saying it in an almost coquettish tone.
"Sister... please do me a favor..."
Even the receptionist who has already entered society cannot refuse.
The fake smile on his face fell, and then he sighed softly.
"I can only ask for you, I can't help you with anything else."
"Thank you, sister. I'm very happy to have your help!"
Zhu Yanshi was smiling with his eyebrows curved.
The receptionist was startled by the smile, and she put her hand on the phone and transferred the call to the president's office.
There were several busy tones on the phone. After the call was connected, Song Kai's cold voice came.
"What's up?"
The receptionist's fingers on the table shrank slightly, and her eyes fell on the face of the young man opposite who was looking at her expectantly.
"Mr. Song, there's a boy named Zhu Yanshi who wants to see you. He said he has something very important to tell you..."
The more she spoke, the less confident she became. When the young lady was regretting that she had been seduced by beauty, the man from the other side replied unexpectedly.
"Tell him to wait downstairs. I have something to do here."
After the phone was hung up, the receptionist looked at Zhu Yanshi with an embarrassed tone.
"Boss Song asked you to wait a moment because he's busy..."
Zhu Yanshi didn't make things difficult for the other person anymore. He turned around and sat down on the sofa not far away, browsing his phone while waiting for someone.
He knew that Song Kai was deliberately trying to trip him up.
The time spent waiting for someone is not that unbearable. It is not as painful and humiliating as described in TV dramas.
There is air conditioning in the hall, and the temperature is adjusted to a very comfortable level, not too hot nor too cold.
You can sit on the soft sofa and play with your mobile phone.
Zhu Yanshi was not that sensitive in his heart, and was even filled with a strong sense of insensitivity.
He didn't care about this deliberate embarrassment at all. All he had to do was to achieve his goal today.
The cross-body backpack is filled with candies, and while waiting, you can throw one or two into your mouth from time to time.
Unable to continue playing with his phone, Zhu Yanshi went to the milk tea shop next to the company and bought two cups of milk tea, and gave one to the girl at the front desk.
Thank you for your help just now.
The two of them chatted while drinking milk tea, and from time to time they could hear crisp laughter coming from the front desk.
Even the employees passing by the front desk couldn't help but look back frequently.
A young boy came down from the company building. He had the typical appearance of a well-behaved young puppy, was about 1.8 meters tall, and looked like a sports student playing basketball.
Female employees kept running downstairs from upstairs, and that scene became a beautiful sight.
Zhu Yanshi didn't care. While chatting with the girl at the front desk, he asked for some information about Song Kai.
"Mr. Song values talent more than anything else. As long as someone is capable, he will find a way to satisfy them, no matter how strange their request is."
The young lady took a sip of milk tea, raised her finger with red extended nails and pointed to the top of her head.
"The area on the second floor is full of genius monsters!"
"Are all of them here voluntarily?"
Zhu Yanshi asked tentatively.
The young lady narrowed her eyes, hooked her fingers forward, and lowered her voice.
"Some of them were actually hostile to each other before, but later on, for some reason, Mr. Song didn't care about the so-called hostile relationship and just offered a high price to poach them..."
"It's so blatant that it makes people convinced."
The lady at the front desk had worked at the Song Group for several years. Although she revealed some information, she only said what she could.
Other more confidential information is kept secret.
Zhu Yanshi nodded. It was not good to keep delaying the other party's work, so he went back to sit on the sofa by the door with his milk tea.
He was as relaxed as if he was back home, leaning back on the sofa, taking a sip of milk tea from time to time, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the president's exclusive elevator.
He roughly estimated in his mind how fast and in what posture he would rush to the other party if Song Kai came out of the elevator.
With a rose in his mouth, he rushed forward a few steps, then slid over to his knees...
Zhu Yanshi was amused by what was in his mind, and his shoulders kept shaking.
People passing by looked at him as if he was crazy.
From the big sun hanging high above our heads in the afternoon, to the sunset, the entire sky is covered with orange, and finally, it is covered by a touch of deep blue.
Even the receptionist was packing her backpack and getting ready to leave work.
Zhu Yanshi roughly knew that he had been stood up.
He stood up and cursed Song Kai over and over again in his heart.
Sometimes I feel really wronged. His son likes me, so what does it have to do with me?
So don’t try to challenge the wrath of a domineering boss?
Zhu Yanshi did not take a taxi immediately. The area around the Song Group was a commercial center. He had come here with great difficulty, so he might as well walk around and buy some food.
The street lights above his head illuminated the path ahead for the young man, stretching his shadow very long.
Zhu Yanshi lowered his head to look at his phone and opened Fu Qian'an's WeChat. He felt it was necessary to tell the other party about today's results.
As my fingers were tapping on the keyboard, I suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
Zhu Yanshi answered the phone. There was silence on the other end for a long time, and then a familiar male voice came from the other end.
It has a lazy feel.
"Don't you have something to discuss with me today?"
Over there, the sound of smoking was heard.
Zhu Yanshi did not respond and let the other party continue speaking.
Smoke was exhaled from the other side, and a faint sound was heard.
"I'll give you a chance, ahem... East Court, opposite the company, box 8888, 10 minutes. I hope to see you in the box."
After the voice fell, only the busy tone remained on the other end of the phone after the call was hung up.
A gust of wind blew beside his ear, ruffling the boy's hair on his forehead.
The aroma emanated from the street food stalls.
Zhu Yanshi quickly entered the location that Song Kai had just mentioned, and after locating it using the navigation system, he ran towards that direction.
Fortunately, the place was not far from the company, and Zhu Yanshi happened to arrive at the 10-minute mark and pushed open the door of the box.
The moment the door was opened, the sound of chatting and laughing drifted out.
When he appeared at the door, the laughter stopped abruptly, and all kinds of gazes were cast in the direction of the door.
Zhu Yanshi's chest was heaving violently, his hair on his forehead was messed up, and he stared at Song Kai who was sitting in the upper seat.
The man casually held a cigarette between his fingers, his eyes sliding across Zhu Yanshi's cheek with a hint of contempt.
The hand holding the cigarette raised.
"Sit wherever you like."
After he finished speaking, the probing gazes around him also silently withdrew.
The sound of talking and laughing could be heard again in the box.
No one paid any attention to him. There was even a hint of surprise at first, which then turned into a accustomed indifference.
Someone even left the seat next to Song Kai empty and pushed the chair very close to Song Kai.
The man sitting in the upper seat didn't even raise his eyelids. He still held the cigarette between his lips calmly, took a puff, and exhaled a light circle of smoke.
Zhu Yanshi knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but he had to come.
If he hadn't come, it wouldn't be easy to see Song Kai later.
He closed the door of the box, turned around and sat down next to Song Kai.
There was a continuous sound of conversation in his ears, and Zhu Yanshi lowered his head and ate silently.
No one cared about him, even Song Kai just ignored him.
After dinner, the drinking party naturally started.
Everyone raised their glasses politely and toasted each other in circles.
The wine glass stopped in front of Zhu Yanshi. The other party was stuck and didn't know how to respond. He just stared at Song Kai.
The air became quiet for a moment.
The man next to him didn't say anything, and no one knew how to treat this young man who ran over.
Zhu Yanshi certainly knew what Song Kai meant. He stood up, picked up the wine on the table and poured a glass into the cup.
"How can I get the boss to toast me?"
"It's my turn to toast you..."
Zhu Yanshi raised his glass to signal, and a round of toasts began around the table.
The wine on the table is undoubtedly good wine. These rich people pursue a mellow taste when drinking, and such wine often has a much higher alcohol content.
Zhu Yanshi's body could not bear being fed this type of liquor so frequently.
After drinking, tears welled up at the corners of my eyes unconsciously. Because my skin is very fair, the skin exposed to the air appeared dark pink.
The first round of toasts came to an end, everyone sat down on the chairs to rest, and started the next round of chatting.
Zhu Yanshi could feel his bones becoming soft, and he turned into a ball of slime that could change into various shapes.
He stared at the table and curled the corners of his mouth, then turned his head slowly to look at Song Kai.
The man had his back to him and was talking to the boss next to him.
Song Kai has the charm of a mature man, and one can feel the masculine aura emanating from him in his every move.
He speaks very carefully and rarely makes comments when talking to people next to him. He looks lazy and may only reply to one sentence out of ten sentences said by the other person.
Alcohol is the thing that can best inspire a person's courage.
Zhu Yanshi was not a timid person on normal days. Stimulated by the strong alcohol, he raised his hand in a daze and pinched Song Kai's sleeve with his fingers.
Pulled it down hard.
The man who was originally talking to the boss next to him leisurely and lazily was pulled unexpectedly.
He didn't expect the person next to him to be so strong. He almost lost his balance and fell off the chair in a panic.
Zhu Yanshi couldn't help but let go of his hand and stared at Song Kai for a while as he stood up with the help of the chair.
"puff……"
I can’t hold it in, I can’t hold it in at all!
The box became quiet, even falling into a dead silence.
Song Kai stood up and stared at Zhu Yanshi with a gloomy expression.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and just when he was about to explode, the other party interrupted his spell.
"There were bugs on your clothes just now."
“…”
Song Kai would be a fool if he believed this.
The other party didn't give him a chance to react. He stood up and moved closer, with a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the aroma of green plums.
“…I really have something to talk to you about.”
The exhaled air brushed against the earlobe, bringing a tingling sensation.
The moment the other person approached, Song Kai frowned slightly, and his hands hanging by his side seemed to be frozen by something. He did not push the other person away, and let the other person finish his words.
The boy took a step back, looking at him expectantly with his big, bright eyes.
Fool.
Only these two words appeared in Song Kai's mind.
You're being bullied by me like this, and you still want to talk about things?
His thoughts were drawn away, and the man was silent for a moment. He reached out and grabbed the chair next to him, gently pulled it back, and sat back in the chair.
He raised his hand and hooked his fingers forward.
The boy opposite cooperated by bending down and coming closer, staring at Song Kai expectantly and obediently with his raised puppy eyes.
When the other party suddenly approached, Song Kai was stunned.
Looking at the red and tear-stained corners of the boy's eyes, two spots of pink appeared on his fair face, like a delicate and beautiful peach covered with dewdrops.
Take a bite, and your mouth is full of sweetness...
Song Kai was distracted for a moment, then quickly looked away and uttered a hurried sentence.
"The drinking party is over. If you are still sober, I can agree to one of your requests."
The voice fell, and the man leaned to the side and reached out to grab the wine glass on the table.
"continue."
A slightly hoarse voice spread in the air, waking up the people who were pretending to be dead.
A new round of circling continued, and by the second half, most of the other people in the box stood up and started toasting.
They were arm in arm with each other, bragging and drinking.
Only Song Kai, who was sitting in the upper seat, smoked one cigarette after another slowly, staring at Zhu Yanshi.
The man didn't say anything, but the others probably realized that this young man was the one Song Kai wanted to deal with, so they began to gather around him and drink one cup after another.
As he drank more, he felt a little sorry and turned his head to look at Song Kai from time to time.
The main reason is that she can't make up her mind. At first, it looked like she was going to play a trick on someone, but later it gradually changed its meaning and became more like flirting.
If they really treat someone harshly, they are afraid that they will quarrel at the beginning and make up at the end of the day, and they will be in a difficult position.
Song Kai knew what he was doing. He felt that the young man holding a wine glass not far away had reached his limit. His eyes were blurry and he was even a little unsteady. He needed to support himself by the table next to him to keep his balance.
He slowly stood up, raised his hands and made several downward gestures.
"That's about it."
"Young people can't stand this kind of treatment."
There was finally a smile in his eyes.
