Chao Lingxi lives in a house in the center of the capital. It is about 200 square meters, beautifully decorated in a typical Nordic style.
Before Yan Yongwang sent him to live in this house, he sent a housekeeper to clean it.
When he moved in, he came basically empty-handed, with only a small luggage that contained only the necessary documents and a few sets of clothes to change into.
Also? They are all very thin.
He is not afraid of cold or heat, so he doesn't care too much about the thin clothes?
But? Obviously, Yan Yongwang couldn't stand the way he was.
Later, in the Yan family villa, he was "forced" to wear Yan Yongwang's coat. The father and son were about the same height, and Yan Yongwang was probably two or three centimeters taller, but there was no difference to the naked eye.
The shoulder and waist proportions are also similar.
The clothes were put on him properly, and later Chao Lingxi took his clothes away with a guilty conscience.
Now it is hanging in the closet at home, neatly arranged.
Chao Lingxi has lived in this house for a while and has slowly added a lot of things he likes.
A pot of sunflowers (they died later, so he bought some dried sunflowers instead; he liked bright yellow colors); a detailed painting bought online, which depicts a magnificent landscape, and is quite nice; a fish tank, but he doesn't have any fish in it yet; he picked up a lot of shells and conchs at the beach and threw them all in the tank.
There are also a few thick winter coats, a box of nice adult masks, and a thick stack of regular script calligraphy exercise books.
Chao Lingxi lived a very comfortable life in the capital.
He has money. In addition to the card given to him by Yan Yongwang, he also has a card with a large balance in the account. All his daily expenses are paid from this card.
He had a decent home in the capital. The owner of the property certificate was Yan Yongwang, but he moved in openly, not thinking there was anything wrong, and even kept the house decent and clean.
As for the house next to Chenhe, Chao Lingxi had long since stopped caring about it.
He left the house vacant and had no plans to live in it again.
…
After all, he now lives in a house given to him by his son!
In a sense, he is a happy old father who lives in a house given by his filial son!
==
December, near the end of the year.
The company calendar said that there would be an annual meeting next month. Compared to last month, Chen He had much less work to do, so he could make a cup of American coffee in the tea room during work hours. When he had time, he would knock on his boss's door and bring him a cup.
The tea room is very large, and when colleagues feel tired, they will go into the tea room to kill time, sometimes to eat snacks, sometimes to make tea or drink coffee.
Seeing that he was also in the tea room, a female colleague from the same department asked him, "General Secretary, I heard that you and your boss went on a business trip to Country Y last week?"
"How is it? I remember the weather in Country Y is very good. It's not as cold as the capital, right?"
Female colleagues are very afraid of cold weather. They started wearing less clothes indoors when the heating started this month. Last month, a room full of colleagues used air conditioning to heat the room. But air conditioning is different from heating. Air conditioning is dry and can make people bleed from the nose. It is only turned on for a few hours a day and turned off when it gets warm. In comparison, heating is much more comfortable.
Last week, everyone was talking about how cold it was.
This week, as soon as the heating was turned on, female colleagues took off their thick coats, revealing colorful shirts and sweaters.
Colorful and beautiful.
Shen He replied: "Yes, it is spring there."
His face was as gentle as ever, and his words were friendly. The female secretaries asked again: "Wow, I remember that place is the best for vacation, and there is also the sea to see."
Chen He took a sip of coffee and replied slowly: "Yes, the sea is beautiful too." His tone was slightly low, but his colleagues did not notice.
He took a cup of hot coffee from the coffee machine in the tea room. The beans were the kind Yan Yongwang liked the most, ground into fine powder, and the operation was simple, and a cup of black coffee came out quickly.
The aroma is rich and the cup wall is slightly warm.
Chen He drank the coffee in his hand and indicated that he was going to deliver coffee to the boss.
The colleagues who were taking a break in the tea room watched their general secretary walk towards the boss's office.
After his back was out of sight, a colleague said, "Our chief secretary is really handsome."
"Also? Virtuous!"
"…Our boss is so lucky to have such a good secretary!"
"Woo woo, I also want someone as virtuous as this..."
“…”
"Who isn't?" The female colleague sighed, "It's perfect for both home and family. It really couldn't be better."
There was a knock on Yan Yongwang's office door. He answered and gestured for someone to come in.
Chen He raised his eyebrows and handed over the coffee: "Boss, you? Coffee for today."
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yan Yongwang thanked him, took a sip of coffee, and praised: "It tastes good."
Chen He: "Last time?"
I changed the beans. This time I changed to the freshest one that you like best."
"Thank you," Yan Yongwang nodded at him and asked, "Anything else?"
"You will be giving a speech on stage at the mid-year meeting next month. Have you forgotten about that?" The annual meeting is usually held before the Spring Festival. The Yan family is accustomed to picking a date in January to summarize the company's achievements in the previous year and plan for the year ahead.
The company employees privately said that every January when the annual meeting is held, they, the women and men, are always ready to make a move, but President Yan is just too handsome, and he looks so cool when he speaks on the stage.
Chen He has a documentary of the annual meeting on hand. From Yan Chi's generation to Yan Yongwang three years ago, it is obvious to see the attitude of the employees towards the boss.
Yan Chi already has a family, and when he gives a speech on stage, it is very interesting. Shi Xianyuan will also speak with him. They both love to laugh, and often speak with laughter. The couple is very pleasing to the eye.
Yan Yongwang is single, in his prime, handsome and cold, and speaks like a nobleman. However, he is not arrogant and is very humble when reporting on the achievements of previous years and looking forward to the new year.
To quote a colleague at the company: Even though his temperament is cold and gloomy and difficult to approach, their boss is still so handsome that it makes people weak in the knees.
Chen He could already foresee the annual meeting in the middle of next month and how everyone would scream when Yan Yongwang gave a speech on the stage.
After he finished speaking, Yan Yongwang nodded slowly. After a while, he looked up in confusion and said, "Chen He, what questions do you think the employees will ask about this year's annual meeting speech?"
The speech was too simple for Yan Yongwang, and he wouldn't make any mistakes even if he improvised.
However, randomly selecting employees by number and asking them to ask questions to the boss during the annual meeting has always been a very troubling thing for the boss.
Because, based on past experience, employees are likely to ask questions that will embarrass him.
Two years ago, an employee asked him whether his sexual orientation was same or different.
Last year, an employee asked him if he could accept everyone treating him as their dream lover.
The employees who were selected knew that Yan Yongwang would not care about these minor issues, so they spoke boldly.
Chen He recalled the situation last year and the year before, and said with a smile: "I can't help it. I can't guess what my colleagues will say."
At their boss's first annual meeting, he randomly asked employees to ask questions. It was very awkward at the time because the employees were not familiar with this young boss and also thought he was cold and aloof. They did not dare to ask rash questions to liven up the atmosphere.
You know, when Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan were the bosses, the annual meetings were always very lively. The couple were always smiling and their employees were also bold.
You can ask any questions you want, and the two bosses can answer any questions you want.
The first year was a bit awkward. In the second year, Shen Mi spent a lot of effort to inform employees in major company groups, saying that our boss just had a cold face, and in fact, even if you asked any overly private questions, he would not be very angry.
Thanks to Secretary Shen's efforts, employees asked him about his sexual orientation at the annual meeting the following year.
It wasn't awkward anymore, and the atmosphere became lively.
This made Yan Yongwang not know how to respond. The only answer he could give was that he was straight.
After a pause, seeing that the employee was still interested in asking further questions, he quickly said, "I don't have any plans to find a partner at the moment."
Chen He tried to hold back his laughter for a long time. He felt that his young boss was really distressed at that time, but he was too embarrassed not to answer. He looked a little overwhelmed.
In short, that's it. The annual meeting activity of selecting employees to ask questions of the boss has continued for many years since the generation of Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan came to power. Although Yan Yongwang was troubled by the problems that might be encountered in the annual meeting in the near future, he never thought of cutting this activity.
These are one of the few activities where the CEO shows that he is approachable.
He felt that he couldn't always show a cold image, which was not conducive to the cohesion of the company. You know, his parents used to be smiling, friendly and very approachable, which brought a lot of benefits to the company. The turnover rate was very low. Everyone said that Yan's company was very good and the leader was very thoughtful.
In the years since he took office, the turnover rate... well, it doesn't seem to have changed much, but he is always worried that his cold image will make people think that the leader is a pure capitalist.
In fact, Yan's Enterprise focuses on the Internet industry, but there is no so-called 996 hidden rule. Working hours, wages, subsidies, etc. are all the best in the industry, and there are countless fresh graduates who want to join Yan's.
Yan Yongwang sighed when he heard Chen He's answer.
He rubbed his temples, took two sips of coffee, and asked, "What did the police say?"
"How is the progress?"
Chen He's originally relaxed expression suddenly turned serious. He said, "Joey died suddenly, there was nothing suspicious at the scene..." He struggled to organize his words, "rule out homicide or suicide."
"The autopsy was done, and it was said that Joey was in good health and did not meet the conditions for sudden death, but?, it's inexplicable..."
When Chen He talked about it, he felt a little eerie and his whole body went cold.
Living in a country with a sound legal system and never coming into contact with such death incidents, Secretary Shen was very nervous, a little timid, and got goose bumps all over his body.
Yan Yong stared at him for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "You? Are you scared?"
Shen He was angry: "Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Yan Yongwang asked a question, but was retorted by the secretary. He coughed twice to indicate that he did not mean to look down on him: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Chen He also collapsed: "Boss, I like ghost stories because they are ghost stories, but the problem is, we just met Joey a few days ago, and he died the next day, aren't you scared?" Can ghost stories be equated with real murders? !
Yan Yongwang muttered: "...I don't think I'm too scared."
Shen He rolled his eyes: “You are awesome.”
Yan Yongwang: "You? It looks like you're going to be mad at me again."
Chen He frowned: "Not really, I'm not that petty."
The boss and the secretary looked at each other for a while, then Chen He slumped his shoulders and sat on the sofa. Shen Sang said sadly, "Are you really not afraid?"
"I'm really not afraid."
Shen He said in distress: "I'm scared."
Yan Yongwang decided to be a talker: "Why?" He felt that he might not have the nerve to fear, or maybe he said something to Lingxi. The meaning of those words was unclear, but the purpose was clear. He said that the bed-climbing incident was a setup to target Lingxi from the beginning to the end.
He didn't understand why someone wanted to target Chao Lingxi and sow discord between him and Chao Lingxi, and Chao Lingxi had no intention of telling everything, so no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get an answer.
So we can only let it go.
According to Chao Lingxi, he will know the answer one day, but now is not the right time.
Yan Yongwang remained silent on this statement, but he had to admit that he himself might have been trying to evade the issue.
At the very least, he was paranoid about his parents' death.
Delusion means that if the truth is not what he wants, he will feel extremely painful.
Chen He didn't notice that Yan Yongwang's thoughts were wandering. He just kept talking to himself, "Think about it. This is obviously a trap set against you."
"A man who tried to climb into your bed died suddenly soon after being sent to the police station..." Chen He wrinkled his nose, "Could it be that the man had already achieved his goal when he approached you?"
"His death means there must be some conspiracy."
Chen He stated his conclusion with absolute certainty.
"I'm afraid someone will hurt you."
This was the source of his fear. He was not afraid of anything else, but was only afraid that when Joey climbed into bed with Yan Yongwang, he did not get what he wanted.
Maybe yes, maybe no, this mystery will never be solved.
Because the person involved has died. The cause of death is unknown.
The unknown is always scary.
These past few days, Chen He would wake up from his sleep late at night in a cold sweat, and he would always dream that Yan Yongwang had encountered an accident.
Yan Yongwang whispered, "There's no need to be afraid."
Shen He: "I can't control myself."
He heard the boss sigh and say, "How about I give you a holiday?"
Shen He was stunned: “?”
Boss: "I think you've been feeling restless lately. This is not good for your health."
Chen He: "...wait, it's almost the end of the year, and there's still a lot of work to do..."
The boss had already pulled out a group tour ticket from the drawer. "I know, but there are more than just you in the secretarial department."
"I wanted to give it to you yesterday, but I didn't find the chance."
The boss looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, raised the corner of his lip slightly, and seemed to be comforting him: "The vacation won't be long, only four or five days."
"But……"
"Shen Mi."
"The company's security is very complete. I have contacted the security department these two days and have increased patrols," he said. "There are also security guards patrolling outside the villa. When I get home from get off work, I also ask the bodyguard to drive me home."
"So, please don't worry."
Chen He looked at him blankly, took the ticket in a daze, and then was hugged lightly by the boss.
"Thank you. Actually, you are worried about my safety, and I am also worried about your mental state."
"So, please take a few days off, okay?"
Chen He accepted the ticket silently, and when he was leaving the office, he asked him, "If I hadn't come in and told you about this today, would you have thought of a way to let me take a few days off?"
His boss looked up at him lazily and gently.
"No, I will choose to let you go on a very relaxing business trip, and the destination is the destination of the group tour ticket in your hand," he said in a gentle tone, without any intention of seeking credit, only a calm and restrained concern, "According to your personality, knowing that the business trip destination is a famous tourist destination, you should go to relax yourself."
Chen He finally relaxed and laughed. He held the ticket in his left hand, raised it lightly, put two fingers together, and saluted his young boss.
Humorous, cool, playful, and a little touching: "Thank you, boss.
”
"You're welcome," he said coldly, watching his boss lower his head to handle official business again, without even looking up, "I wish you 'have fun'."
Even after the door is closed, the aroma of coffee still lingers in the office.
Time passed and it was exactly half past ten.
Yan Yongwang showed his boss's care to his secretary and immersed himself in his work.
Not long after, the backup phone received a message from Director Wang Chi, who had not been in contact for a long time.
"Miss Chao, the crew has finished filming, and most of the editing work has been completed. We need your cooperation in promotion next January..."
Later, a Word document was sent to me, which detailed the plans for the end of this year and the beginning of next year, including publicity and premieres.
Yan Yongwang sent an emoticon package he received.
Wang Chi didn't expect Chao Juan to be online, so he quickly sent a voice message: "Haha, Miss Chao, are you in the capital recently? Our crew just happened to have a pre-production interview, do you have time to attend?"
Yan Yongwang replied that he needed to see the travel schedule.
December is the end of the year and he is very busy as a boss. Today he asked his right-hand man, the secretary, to take a few days off so that he has more work to do.
Wang Chi sent the time, which was a few days at the end of the month.
It just happened to be the time when he took his monthly regular rest at home.
So Yan Yong replied: "Yes."
The covenant was made.
After replying to Wang Chi, the main phone received another message shortly afterwards.
It's a telepathic connection.
After hearing the reason, he felt that he was in a good mood today - Yan Yongwang thought about it seriously and found that Chao Lingxi was always in a good mood.
Chao Lingxi: "I passed by you today? Downstairs of the company!"
A nice photo of the building.
Yan Yongwang frowned, knowing that this person was probably not just passing by, but came to find him on purpose.
So I replied: “I saw you.”
Towards Lingxi: “???”
"No way, I was hiding under the tree!"
Yan Yongwang replied expressionlessly: "Idiot."
His bluffing was easily exposed. It is absolutely impossible for this guy to deceive anyone.
Towards Lingxi: “?”
He sent me a selfie: the camera was too close, so his face looked a little big, but his facial features were good, and even if he was photographed at a close angle, he didn't look bad. Behind him was a lush green field. In order to keep the streets of the capital green all year round, the trees chosen were those that only lose their leaves in the cold winter.
Now that the temperature has dropped, the leaves have also fallen, but not too much.
The lush green leaves make his smiling face look pure.
Yan Yongwang replied: "Why take pictures?"
Chao Lingxi: "Because I want you to look at me."
Yan Yong is delusional, what a weird guy.
As he thought so, his eyes curved.
"By the way!" Chao Lingxi suddenly sent a voice message, his tone was quite happy, "I just passed by the cinema and saw a familiar star. It seems that there is a new movie coming out. Would you like to watch it with me?"
"Tonight? Tickets for 8 o'clock!"
Yan Yongwang: "Are there any other celebrities you are familiar with?"
Chao Lingxi: "I've watched no less than twenty movies and ten TV series!"
"Of course I have a favorite star!"
Yan Yongwang watched this conversation and fell into deep thought. He asked tentatively, "You only like watching TV series and movies?"
Replied Chao Lingxi: "Because reading text is too tiring! It's more fun to watch movies or TV series."
Yan Yongwang: ...
That's fine. He likes watching TV series and movies but doesn't like reading novels. I'm afraid he inherited this habit from her.
She took a deep breath and replied, "I don't think I'll have to work overtime today."
I sent another sweet emoticon to Lingxi: [Big cat and little cat licking their fur.jpg]
"Okay, I'll wait for you after get off work."
It was only noon time, but Chao Lingxi's tone made it seem as if she wanted to wait until he got off work in the afternoon.
Yan Yongwang had no doubt about the truth of his words. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Go find a place to eat by yourself."
Chao Lingxi: [Yes, sir.jpg]
…
When they get off work, they meet at the cinema.
Yan Yongwang's face appeared in the media quite a lot, and he was afraid of being photographed in the cinema and causing trouble, so he changed into a female identity and went to the cinema with Chao Lingxi.
Chao Lingxi also liked being with the "female goose", and the expression on her face was much more lively than when she was talking to "Yan Yongwang".
Today’s movie is the debut work of a triple-Award-winning actress in the entertainment industry.
This triple-Award-winning actress is very beautiful. Even though she is over 40, her temperament is still tender and sweet. She is like a bunch of flowers that never wither.
Yan Yongwang asked Chao Lingxi: "You? Like her?"
Chao Lingxi followed the youngsters and bought a bucket of popcorn. It was his first time eating popcorn and he thought it was new. He ate a lot before the movie started. At this moment, the movie started and he saw the actress on the big screen. She couldn't take her eyes off him and replied, "Yeah, I like it."
"What is your preference for a partner?"
Chao Lingxi bit a piece of popcorn, his profile flickering in the light and shadow, and his tone was casual, "No, it's just that I always like the beauty that will never fade."
"She is in her forties and has such a beautiful smile," Chao Lingxi smiled, "I am a little envious."
"Hmm?" Yan Yongwang couldn't understand what he meant.
He waved the popcorn bucket in his hand towards Lingxi, signaling Yan Yongwang to reach in and take some. He didn't refuse, pinched a grain and put it in his mouth. It had a vanilla flavor, a little sweet, but not bad.
"I envy her for still having such a childish and tender smile at her age."
Chao Lingxi grabbed another handful of popcorn, spread it out, picked the one with the most syrup, bit it, and slowly ate it into his stomach.
“It’s like seeing myself as a kid.”
Yan Yongwang heard the sound of popcorn being crushed from his mouth, and it seemed as if he could hear the sound of silk being torn and jade falling from afar.
He silently grabbed a few grains of popcorn from his palm.
Chao Lingxi looked at him in surprise: "You? Do you want to eat?"
Yan Yongwang silently picked a pill with more syrup, motioned him to open his mouth, and fed Lingxi Mengmeng a pill: "The movie is starting."
"We need to speak more quietly."
"Also, eat less popcorn," Yan Yongwang said with a stern look, "It's not very healthy."
The author has something to say: Father and daughter are of the same mind, and sometimes they can sense each other's low moods.
Also, although Lingxi later became the king of a fallen country and a psychotic and ruthless villain, when he was young, he was a little prince who grew up surrounded by flowers and everything went well.
