Chapter 48 Recovery
Cheng Fei guessed right. Lin Qiyuan had indeed spent most of the night trying to cook some porridge, using half a bucket of rice to make it soft and delicious, completely forgetting that he could still go out and buy some.
However, Cheng Fei was just joking. In his eyes, if Lin Qiyuan stayed up late at night to cook porridge for someone else, even if it was someone he liked, he would be unworthy of the title of "Old Dog Coin". It would be more like ordering others to stay up late to cook porridge for him.
"Hey, Lao Lin, you're so old now, you should pay attention to your kidneys. You have dark circles under your eyes, and you can't even find a boyfriend, let alone a girlfriend."
Cheng Fei winked at Zhou Yang meaningfully. Zhou Yang didn't understand what he meant and thought Cheng Fei was hinting for him to keep an eye on his girlfriend, so he also winked at him to show that he understood.
Lin Qiyuan had no idea what they were talking about, but seeing their tacit understanding made him feel uncomfortable.
To displease him would be a grave crime, so Lin Qiyuan decided to continue being a scoundrel: "Auntie asked you to go home."
"Ah?" Cheng Fei was a little confused.
Lately, his mother had asked him to go home for one reason only: a blind date. To that end, he'd lied about being on a business trip and not being back for two months, and had even moved out. If his mother had suddenly asked him to return, it would mean his lie had been exposed, and the culprit for it was this sullen, dark-looking man in front of him.
"You fucking..."
"Soon."
Cheng Fei's breath was caught in his throat and he wanted to beat someone to death.
Everyone has a nemesis. His nemesis is his mother's forced marriage and Lin Qiyuan's unkindness.
"Don't you have something to do? Why don't you leave?" Lin Qiyuan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yang looked at the two people with puzzlement, their faces turning pale and blue, and asked, "Is there something wrong..."
"Yes, I'm busy. Zhou Yang, you should have a good rest. I'll come to see you another day. You and Lin Gou... Lin Yuan, please get along well."
Zhou Yang always felt that the other person's expression was not right. He looked at the other person's back and was about to say a few more words of concern -
"Drink porridge." Lin Qiyuan's voice was low and carried an irrefutable momentum.
Zhou Yang subconsciously took the spoon and started drinking the porridge. After taking two sips, he realized that he was too obedient.
"Well, the girl just now is someone who helped me. She added me on WeChat and I felt embarrassed to refuse." Zhou Yang didn't know why he had to explain the words. He felt that if he didn't explain, Lin Qiyuan's face would be darker all day long.
However, Lin Qiyuan's expression did not soften: "She confessed to you!"
It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. He really heard that voice.
Zhou Yang was helpless and threw the phone to Lin Qiyuan: "Look for yourself."
Lin Qiyuan took it and read it. He didn't feel guilty at all after reading it. He said with more confidence: "You must be vigilant."
Zhou Yang: “?”
Lin Qiyuan: "She might have approached you first."
Zhou Yang: “???”
Lin Qiyuan: "I'll take advantage of you letting your guard down and then attack you."
Zhou Yang: “???”
This is what is written on the Internet. Lin Qiyuan feels that Zhou Yang is too naive, and it is his responsibility to give him some advice.
After talking about it, Zhou Yang noticed that Lin Qiyuan was in a much better mood. The magical thing was that when he saw Lin Qiyuan was in a relaxed mood, he himself became much happier.
This magical feeling of raising a cub!
After drinking the delicious white porridge, Zhou Yang took some medicine, explained his work to Song Xuhong, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing that he was fast asleep, Lin Qiyuan clumsily tucked the quilt in for him before returning to the kitchen to deal with his failed product - two large pots of burnt porridge, which he poured into the wet garbage disposal, cleaned the countertop, and sprayed air freshener into the air twice until he could no longer smell the burnt smell.
However, if anyone who knew him saw him doing housework so briskly while humming an unknown tune, they would probably think he was possessed by a ghost.
After tidying up the kitchen, Li Baiyu called and said that he had found the nanny with demanding conditions that Lin Qiyuan had agreed to earlier.
Lin Qiyuan: "Let her stand by."
Zhou Yang must know the truth. Once the two of them are officially together, the family will still need a nanny.
Although Zhou Yang cooks delicious food, he has always insisted on cooking for himself to compensate for the rent, and there are part-time workers to do the daily cleaning at home, but he is reluctant to tire his boyfriend, so he just does it occasionally as a hobby.
Li Baiyu pouted angrily on the other end of the phone and complained in his heart: Haha, there is so much money to burn, and a nanny is on standby without working?
It was almost the end of the year, and everyone in the company was busy as hell. Only President Lin hadn't shown up until almost ten o'clock. Li Baiyu and the others in the secretarial office dared not say anything, so they could only complain about their boss in private.
But it really didn't work today. There were many documents waiting to be signed, and the other people in the secretariat kept anxiously making gestures to Li Baiyu, asking him to urge Lin Qiyuan to come to work.
Li Baiyu had a long way to go. With the determination to die, he reported to Mr. Lin tremblingly: "Mr. Lin, there are really many contracts waiting for your signature today. It's almost the end of the year, and you..."
"I'll be there at one in the afternoon."
After saying that, Lin Qiyuan hung up the phone.
"What did Mr. Lin say?"
"Is Mr. Lin coming?"
"Mr. Lin hung up on you?"
"Look at his stunned look, he must have been scolded by Mr. Lin again!"
"That's right, Mr. Lin will definitely say, 'Come to me for everything, what's the point of keeping a bunch of you useless people around?'"
"Mr. Lin will be at work this afternoon, everyone should hurry up and organize the materials."
"Yes, yes, yes. Have you noticed that Mr. Lin's temper has been very changeable recently? He used to be gloomy, but now he's sometimes gloomy and sometimes sunny..."
"Li Baiyu, what did you say?"
"Mr. Lin is coming to work?"
"He didn't scold you?"
Li Baiyu: "He didn't scold me, and his tone towards me was as gentle as water. He is simply a fake Mr. Lin."
“???”
"You guys also said that Mr. Lin's mood has been unpredictable lately. Just because he didn't scold me now doesn't mean he won't scold me later."
The secretaries and assistants nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's right, very likely. But what's wrong with Mr. Lin lately? His mood is so unpredictable. He's even worse than his usual gloomy self. If he's like this every day, how can he withstand a shock?"
Li Baiyu rolled his eyes and lowered his voice to say something gossipy: "I suspect Mr. Lin is in love!"
"In love? With whom? Why is there no news at all?" The secretary's office was almost boiling with excitement.
"I initially suspected it was Zhao Ling, the PR manager, but based on my observations over the past few days, I don't think it was Zhao Ling."
"It can't be Zhao Ling. She already has a boyfriend, a very good programmer, and they have a very good relationship." Someone knows the inside story.
"How is it impossible? Zhao Ling is so beautiful, and our President Lin can't get her, so it's understandable that he's feeling uneasy."
"Alas, you know nothing! Zhao Ling and that programmer were connected by our President Lin. Would our President Lin hand over the goddess to his rival?"
No one knew about this and started gossiping, wanting to know the inside story.
Li Baiyu touched his chin, which had no beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I've also tried talking to Mr. Lin these past few days. When I mentioned Zhao Ling and her boyfriend to him, Mr. Lin didn't really react much. But..."
Li Baiyu's suspense always managed to stir up everyone's emotions: "But what?"
"I suspect Dong Yijie, who just joined our assistant department yesterday, is more likely."
"Ah? No way?"
"Let me tell you, this Dong Yijie was personally ordered by Madam Lin. And every time I mentioned Mr. Lin, he blushed. Even if Mr. Lin didn't have that kind of interest in him, he was still very interested in her."
"Actually, I've always suspected that Mr. Lin is gay, but I've never had any evidence."
"What Brother Xiaobai said makes sense. Madam Lin has never sent anyone to the CEO's office. I heard that Dong Yijie's family is also wealthy, so it doesn't make sense for him to come here and work as a mere secretary. It would make sense if he were working with her boyfriend."
"Speaking of which, that little secretary is coming to work in the afternoon. Doesn't our President Lin also come in the afternoon? This makes me think more."
“…”
After a serious discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that Dong Yiji should not be offended, and started to go about their own business.
Dong Yijie's entry into the secretariat was indeed related to Mother Lin, but the relationship was not significant.
The president's office of Longcheng Film and Television was short of staff, and Dong Yijie asked his father to ask for help to get him an interview opportunity.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Lin's mother as soon as he approached the company. Dong Yijie spoke very skillfully, saying that he wanted to gain experience and came to Longcheng Film and Television mainly to train, but his words were full of admiration for Lin Qiyuan, which revealed that Lin Qiyuan took the initiative to invite him as a friend to help.
Apart from Cheng Fei and a few of his regular friends, Lin Qiyuan had no other friends. Of course, Lin's mother was overjoyed and asked Li Baiyu to take good care of him, but this misunderstanding ended up happening.
Lin Qiyuan tinkered in the study for a long time, and then skillfully cooked porridge at noon. Seeing that Zhou Yang was still asleep, he put the porridge in the refrigerator, put the medicine in, put a note on it, and left.
It was just one o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Qiyuan arrived at the company.
The secretariat was very lively at this time. Dong Yiji stood shyly aside and everyone was teasing him.
He is very good at dealing with people. He bought coffee for everyone in the secretariat. He never got angry no matter what others said. He listened attentively and looked very well-behaved.
Hearing the movement in the CEO's office, Li Baiyu was about to take the documents to Lin Qiyuan for signature when Dong Yijie looked up and said, "How about I take it in? I haven't greeted CEO Lin yet."
Everyone understood and looked at him with an understanding look. Seeing that his face was flushed, they stuffed the materials into his hands and pushed him in.
Lin Qiyuan was looking down at his computer when he thought it was Li Baiyu who came in. "Have you sorted out the information?"
"Yes, yes, everything is sorted."
Lin Qiyuan looked up when he heard the unfamiliar voice and saw that the person looked familiar: "You are..."
The young man, whose face had originally turned red, turned pale when he heard this. He never expected that Lin Qiyuan didn't remember him at all: "Mr. Lin, I'm Dong Yijie. We met at my uncle's birthday party."
Lin Qiyuan then remembered the classmate who had approached him at the banquet.
"My dad asked me to go out and gain some experience, so I applied for the position of assistant to the president of Longcheng Film and Television."
Lin Qi originally thought that he had come here by his own ability, and he didn't have any other thoughts. His expression softened a little, and he nodded and said, "Put down the documents, you can leave first."
Dong Yijie looked a little embarrassed. He had originally thought that Lin Qiyuan would at least give him some face and chat with him for a while.
He was aware of the speculations of his colleagues in the office, and he welcomed their speculations; perhaps it was even helping him. He took a deep breath, tried his best to look shy and uncomfortable, and pushed the door open and walked out.
There were still a few people in the assistant office sorting out documents. When they saw Dong Yijie coming out with a red face, they became more convinced of their previous speculation.
Something unspeakable might have happened between these two people in the office.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qiyuan turned off the alarm on his mobile phone, guessing that Zhou Yang must have woken up.
This is indeed the case. Zhou Yang has been lying down for almost a whole day since last night. Although he still feels a little weak physically, he feels much better in spirits.
He received a call from Lin Qiyuan: "Have you drunk the porridge? Have you taken the medicine?"
Zhou Yang felt warm in his heart: "I drank it and took the medicine, but the medicine was too bitter and the porridge was too bland, not tasty."
It was rare for him to act like a spoiled brat, so Lin Qiyuan had already thought of what to give him to eat in the evening.
But there are more important things to do.
"I need a very important document right now. It's on my computer desktop. Can you help me upload it to an email address? I'll send it to you later."
"Of course." Zhou Yang put the bowl back in the kitchen and went into Lin Qiyuan's study.
"The computer is unlocked, and the file is called 'History of the Development of Dragon City Film and Television'."
Zhou Yang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, didn't realize the name of the file. He hung up the phone and clicked the mouse, and the dark computer desktop instantly lit up.
He dilated his pupils in vain.
