How did you get through it?
Huang Fuda was smoking under the eaves outside the bar.
His mind was in a mess. He was the one who told Fang Chuan to stop bothering him, but he was also the one who felt uncomfortable seeing Fang Chuan being intimate with others.
He might have some affection for her, but Fang Chuan couldn't give him what he wanted, and neither could Huang Fuda.
It's true that they were considering General Manager Wu's status. Tiancheng Construction is much larger than Yundao, and Yunquanhui is still in General Manager Wu's hands. Yunquanhui is Huang Fuda's lifeline.
Huang Fuda's reputation in the industry is not good, it can even be described as extremely bad. He is a homosexual with many lovers, has low moral character, and is a little plaything kept by the Yun family. What kind of good family would want their child to be with him?
Huang Fuda dared not gamble.
So it's better to break it off. Fang Chuan can hug whoever he wants and kiss whoever he wants. Can he control that?
The doorman drove the car over to him and held an umbrella for him: "Boss, would you like me to call a designated driver for you?"
"Just give me the umbrella, you can go inside."
A person ran out of the convenience store across the street, shielding his head with his hand, and ran towards Huang Fuda in the rain. The rain was heavy, and he was completely soaked by the time he reached the other side of the street.
The young man, with slightly curly hair, stood next to Huang Fuda and turned to look at him curiously.
"Mr. Huang?"
Huang Fuda turned to look at him, but didn't recognize him. There were countless instances where the other person knew him, but he didn't know the other person. He gave a knowing "hmm" in response.
The man didn't expose him; instead, he was quite tactful and immediately introduced himself.
"I am Yu Xiangyang. I saw you on the street before. It's normal that you don't remember me because you're busy, Mr. Huang."
Yu Xiangyang didn't mention Fang Chuan, or rather, he deliberately didn't. Taking advantage of Huang Fuda's slight intoxication, he intentionally created the illusion that the two had had a brief conversation in order to get closer to him.
After witnessing Fang Chuan and Huang Fuda's interaction on the street that day, he went back and investigated Huang Fuda's affairs. Boss Huang's sexual orientation was no secret, and coupled with the projects Fang Chuan was involved in at the company and his recent unusual behavior, he immediately guessed that there must be some unusual relationship between the two, and that they must have broken up now.
Yu Xiangyang is dissatisfied with his current job; it pays little, is demanding, and offers no career advancement. He also doesn't want to continue living at his uncle's house.
He happened to run into Huang Fuda while watching Fang Chuan's performance today, and decided to hitch a ride on Huang Fuda's coattails to slowly become a minor leader on Yun Island.
Besides, I don't dislike men, at least I don't dislike Huang Fuda. Just like he said when I first met Huang Fuda, it's hard not to like him.
"I live far away, and it's hard to get a taxi in the rain. Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride, Mr. Huang?" Yu Xiangyang had fair skin and red lips from the cold. He looked up at Huang Fuda with a rather obedient expression.
Huang Fuda took a drag of his cigarette, looking at Yu Xiangyang through the smoke, and then thinking of Fang Chuan through Yu Xiangyang.
If Fang Chuan really was just a student who couldn't find a job, that would be great.
“Okay,” Huang Fuda said to Xiang Yang.
Xiao Zhang arrived a while later. Huang Fuda held an umbrella over their heads, and they both sat in the back seat.
Yu Xiangyang's clothes were half wet, leaving water stains on the leather seat after he got on. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Boss Huang, I'm really sorry, is there anything I can use to cushion myself?"
"Here, take my coat." Xiao Zhang considerately took off her coat and handed it to him, then started driving. "Boss, where are we going?"
Huang Fuda turned to look at Yu Xiangyang without saying a word; he was waiting.
It's like opening your mouth to the sun.
"Mr. Huang, I live a bit far away. Can I come to your place tonight?"
So straightforward.
Huang Fuda was in a bad mood today, especially after seeing Fang Chuan. His mind was filled with images of Fang Chuan's hands and the kiss.
Perhaps it was because he had too many worries that Huang Fuda became rude, or perhaps it was because Yu Xiangyang was inexperienced and couldn't get up afterwards. He whimpered and complained in Boss Huang's arms. Seeing this, Boss Huang immediately arranged a room for him on Yun Island.
Since Yu Xiangyang came to Xianye, he has been living at Fang Chuan's house. There are plenty of empty rooms, so they didn't need him to move out.
He didn't come to the show last night, and hasn't even come back yet, which is a bit worrying. Fang Chuan sent him a message, but no one replied.
Fang Chuan was bothered by the incident of running into Huang Fuda during his evening performance. He wondered if Huang Fuda left in the end because he was angry, and if so, did that mean Huang Fuda still held a place in his heart?
His thoughts, which had been dormant, quietly resurfaced.
He has already been involved in the company's business, and given some more time, he will soon be able to independently manage a project, such as the renovation of Yunquanhui.
He had heard about the hotel incident in the city next to Huang Fuda's, which was partly due to Fang Chuan's influence. Huang Fuda was currently experiencing setbacks in his career, and if he could help him, wouldn't that fulfill some of Huang Fuda's requests? And then, wouldn't that allow them to take their relationship to the next level?
He wanted to give Huang Fuda a proper apology.
The next day, Fang Chuan came to the company, wanting to ask Yu Xiangyang about what happened yesterday, but learned that Yu Xiangyang hadn't come.
Fang Chuan looked at his chat history with Yu Xiangyang, feeling puzzled. He didn't receive a reply until noon, saying that he had run into a friend last night, drunk too much, and stayed at his friend's house. He woke up late today and went to the company in the afternoon.
At 2 p.m., Yu Xiangyang arrived as expected. He went directly to Fang Chuan and led him from the noisy office area to the tea room.
"Fang Chuan, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Seeing Yu Xiangyang's strange behavior, Fang Chuan glanced at the door of the tea room, walked over, locked the door, and then came back.
"What's up?"
“A friend introduced me to a new job, and I don’t want to continue working here, but I’m too embarrassed to tell my uncle and aunt.”
Yu Xiangyang's clothes today were quite expensive, but they were too big, as if he was wearing someone else's, and the shirt looked strangely familiar.
Fang Chuan suppressed his unease and said, "It's nothing serious, just submit your resignation normally."
"Then I'll go stay at a friend's house from now on, and I'll take my luggage as soon as possible." He looked away and gave Fang Chuan a somewhat forced smile.
Fang Chuan saw through his expression and agreed verbally. He had been in Xianye for half a month and had never heard of him having any friends there. But where Yu Xiangyang went was his own choice and had nothing to do with Fang Chuan, so he didn't think much of it.
With Yu Xiangyang moving out, Fang Chuan no longer needed to stay at home, and he could finally return to his apartment, which made him feel especially comfortable.
Although he had come back often to tidy up the place recently, it had been more than half a month since he had properly cleaned it. So Fang Chuan gave the apartment a thorough cleaning.
After cleaning, Fang Chuan went to the shoe cabinet and took out the shoes one by one to clean them. Unbeknownst to him, a batch of shoes had been replaced, with many now in Huang Fuda's size, though Huang Fuda was unaware of this.
Fang Chuan was full of energy at work again. Apart from occasional school classes, he spent most of his time at the company and didn't even go to the band much anymore.
The cooperation with Yundao was progressing steadily. Due to business reasons, Fang Chuan would often go to Yundao's headquarters or the construction site of Yunquanhui, but he never ran into Huang Fuda.
That day, Fang Chuan and Engineer Lin finished proofreading on site in the evening and ran into Huang Fuda as they went out.
Huang Fuda had just gotten out of the car; he had come to check on the progress in person. Engineer Lin happened to be there and started talking to Huang Fuda about the situation. Fang Chuan stood next to Engineer Lin, facing Huang Fuda.
Aside from a polite greeting at the beginning, Huang Fuda didn't talk to Fang Chuan much after that, and didn't even look at him.
Fang Chuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and even after the conversation ended, he couldn't find a moment to talk to Huang Fuda about what happened at the bar that day.
He wanted to ask Huang Fuda if he was angry that day, but he didn't want to. Fang Chuan was a little afraid that the answer wouldn't be the one he wanted to hear.
This matter remained quietly hidden in each other's hearts, slowly taking root.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days, but Yu Xiangyang has no plans to go back to his hometown. He has been following Huang Fuda for half a month and has been living on Yun Island. Boss Huang gave him a sum of money, but only came to see him once more, and it was only for the business of coaxing the boss to sleep. He only needs to sleep with another colleague, one in front and one behind, holding the boss.
This money was easy to earn, but Yu Xiangyang wanted more than just that.
That evening, Yu Xiangyang took the initiative to message Huang Fuda, asking if he wanted to come and keep him company.
After a long time, Mr. Huang replied, telling him to wait for him in the suite upstairs.
Yu Xiangyang went up early, washed himself thoroughly, and then, still in his pajamas, went inside to warm the bed for Boss Huang.
Huang Fuda hadn't originally intended to do this, but since his mistress had said so, she must have something to ask him.
As soon as they got into bed, Yu Xiangyang hugged him tightly, showering him with sweet and considerate words, but never getting to the point. Huang Fuda got a little annoyed and closed his eyes, saying he wanted to sleep. Seeing this, Yu Xiangyang finally spoke.
He wanted to work on Yun Island.
Huang Fuda didn't even open his eyes and said no directly.
"If you want to find a job, I can recommend you to other companies."
Yu Xiangyang got anxious and started to speak without restraint, asking, "Why can Fang Chuan do it, but I can't?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiangyang regretted his loose tongue. Huang Fuda opened his eyes, turned his head to look at him, and his eyes held an indescribable expression.
"Fang Chuan...do you know Fang Chuan?"
"...He's my cousin's son. I stayed at his house for a while." Yu Xiangyang decided to just drop the bomb and tell him everything.
He wrapped his arms around Huang Fuda's body, buried his face in his clothes, and said, "I really can't stand that family anymore. They're a bunch of lunatics. I've never seen a family like that before. I don't even want to work there anymore."
After hearing this, Huang Fuda sat up, leaned against the headboard, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
“What family would keep a mistress at home? Especially since the aunt and Fang Chuan both knew about it and just tacitly approved of it, and even ate together face-to-face every day. Boss, do you know how weird that scene was? If I hadn’t gone to the bathroom that night and overheard something outside the mistress’s room, I would have really thought it was Fang Chuan’s sister. It turned out to be this. It really scared me to death.” Yu Xiangyang said with a look of horror.
Huang Fuda paused for a moment and said, "...Does Fang Chuan know?"
“He must know. Everyone in that family goes back to their rooms at 10 p.m., one person per room, and they don’t come out once they’re in. Fang Chuan was sitting downstairs the night I bumped into my cousin and his mistress. There’s no way he didn’t know.”
"Boss Huang, I really don't want to go back to my aunt's company anymore. Please let me stay in Yundao." Yu Xiangyang said as he leaned in and gently kissed Huang Fuda's neck.
“I don’t do these things in my work. I’ll give you two choices: either I’ll give you more money every month, or I’ll take you to find another boss. Take your time to think it over, and let me know when you’ve made up your mind.” Huang Fuda patted Yu Xiangyang on the back, his eyes looking out the window, but he was thinking about Fang Chuan.
He himself, who had no parents, was not doing well, but Fang Chuan, who had parents, was not necessarily doing much better.
How has Fang Chuan spent these years?
