Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Zhang Cheng Lao Er wants to set up a honey trap.
Lu Yu pressed the elevator door close button under Cheng Xiaoyong's astonished gaze.
Cheng Yi was no less shocked than his elder brother.
He didn't understand why his boss suddenly acted like this, it was a bit like when love rivals were jealous of each other.
But how is it possible...
"How magical..." He seemed to be talking to himself, or to someone around him, "Cheng Xiaoyong will misunderstand."
"It's just a misunderstanding," Lu Yu said in a nonchalant tone. "Not disturbing someone is the best thing a predecessor can do."
Cheng Yi: “…”
The two came out of the hotel and took a taxi to the most prosperous night market in H City.
The afterglow of the setting sun has not yet completely disappeared, and lanterns have already been lit, highlighting the strong atmosphere of fireworks in the quaint neighborhood.
At first, Cheng Yi thought that someone of Lu Yu's status would definitely not like the night market.
Not far from them, two stinky tofu stalls were emitting a unique smell that was so pungent that it made one’s stomach turn.
Cheng Yi held his breath and glanced at the man next to him. He would not be surprised if Lu Yu was rejected by the foul language.
The entrance was getting closer and closer, and the smell of hydrogen sulfide in the air was getting stronger and stronger. Cheng Yi had already calculated the time for Lu Yu to escape from the battlefield, but he did not expect the latter to walk straight through the stench with firm and powerful steps.
"!" Cheng Yi.
"Mr. Lu, do you like stinky...tofu?" He also hurried a few steps to catch up, asking with a twisted nose.
Lu Yu let out a long breath, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly. It turned out that he was holding his breath just now.
“I don’t like it, but I can tolerate it.”
Cheng Yi was filled with admiration. Such strong plasticity.
It's really awesome that you can go to this extent just to visit the night market.
There are all kinds of shops and stalls on both sides of the night market street, with specialty snacks being the most popular, followed by handicrafts.
Cheng Yi was holding a string of roasted marshmallows, a string of potato towers and a few skewers of fried lamb, while Lu Yu was holding a large box of octopus balls.
Passersby on the street frequently turned their heads to look at them, and some even secretly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
"Are you used to it, Mr. Lu?" Cheng Yi asked while eating skewers.
"It's OK," Lu Yu said, "but there's too much to finish."
His octopus balls were buy one get one free, and the lady boss gave him an extra gift because he was handsome.
Cheng Yi turned around and saw that his boss only had three or four dumplings left. It would be a waste if he didn't eat them.
"How about we make a reasonable exchange of resources?" He shook the fried lamb skewers in his hand.
Lu Yu raised her eyelashes and handed the octopus balls in her hand to him, but Cheng Yi's hands were full of things, so he could only free up his mouth.
“Hmm…”
He was still thinking about how to make his cervical vertebrae as flexible as a giraffe so that he could reach the food by stretching forward. But at this moment, Lu Yu picked up two unused bamboo sticks, inserted them into the meatballs and fed them directly into his mouth.
Before Cheng Yi could react, his mouth was already filled with the sweetness.
It's really sweet.
It was quite different from any octopus balls he had ever eaten anywhere before.
He raised his eyes to look at Lu Yu and found that the latter was also looking at him. The two were very close to each other, as if they could feel each other's breath.
Cheng Yi blinked and chewed slowly twice. He seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and a feeling of unreality arose from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, a pedestrian walked past from behind, and a woman's voice floated through the air.
"Look at them, two men know how to show affection and romance in public, and look at you, you're still a married couple, bah!"
Cheng Yi: “…”
Lu Yu; "."
This rumor-mongering statement made Cheng Yi very angry. Whoever shows affection in public is showing off!
Wasn't he fed with two octopus balls? If you say this is romantic, the octopus wouldn't agree.
Cheng Yi swallowed the pill hastily and wanted to catch up with the married couple to explain, but when he turned around, he saw that the man who had just been spat on was hugging his wife and kissing her.
Wow, such a quick response. He felt as if his eyes were sprinkled with chili powder and it was difficult for him to look straight ahead, so he had to turn his head back.
The two continued walking along the street. Cheng Yi remembered that the "resource exchange" was not over yet, so he gave away a bunch of fried skewers in his hand.
"Mr. Lu, here, don't mind what that guy said just now, they are rotten and look at people as gay."
Lu Yu looked at Cheng Yi, pursed his lips, slowly took the mutton skewers from him, and said softly, "Who said I mind."
The street was filled with noise and Cheng Yi could not hear clearly what was said.
The night gradually deepened, the moonlight was bright, and the high starry sky was shrouded in a layer of mystery. Before they knew it, the two of them had walked through the entire night market street from beginning to end.
Cheng Yi was full and satisfied. He looked at his watch and it was already past eight o'clock.
"Should we go back now? You have a meeting tomorrow." He asked his boss.
"Don't be in a hurry," Lu Yu looked around and pointed at a small blue and pink house across the street.
"What is that?" he asked.
Cheng Yi looked in the direction of his finger and saw the huge words "XXX Water World".
"An aquarium," he searched for relevant information on his phone and read out, "The nighttime Koi and Handsome Fish Show will be held on the 27th. Hey, the 27th, isn't that today?"
His eyes sparkled, as if they were filled with tiny stars. "I've seen handsome men's mermaid shows before. They were all pretty young men with white skin and bare upper bodies. Their lower bodies were wrapped in tight fishtails. They were curvy and super..."
"Boring." Lu Yu raised his voice and interrupted him.
Cheng Yi: “…”
"How do you know it's boring?" he asked. "Have you ever seen a mermaid show?"
"I haven't seen it." Lu Yu said as a matter of course, "A man with curvy figure can't be a decent person."
Cheng Yi: “…”
Before he could say anything else, Lu Yu raised his hand to stop a taxi.
Cheng Yi was still looking towards the aquarium when a big hand reached out from behind him and stuffed him into the car.
"Let's go back," Lu Yu said, "I have to attend a meeting tomorrow."
“……”Cheng Yi.
Hiss, who just said there’s no rush?
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the hotel entrance.
As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yi saw Tan Xiong and Cheng Wu Ju hurriedly walking through the lobby towards the executive lounge.
……Depend on! These two are still hanging out together.
Cheng Yi's keen intuition told him that nothing good would happen if these two got together.
The reconnaissance radar sounded the alarm again, and Cheng Yi quietly slipped out the door after safely sending Lu Yu back to the presidential suite.
Cheng Xiaoyong's suite was on the 20th floor of the hotel. Cheng Yi rang the doorbell, and when the door opened, he saw that his elder brother didn't look well and looked a little haggard.
"I don't know what I ate, but I've been having stomach pains." Cheng Xiaoyong covered his stomach and went to the living room to get some water.
When Cheng Yi saw him, he immediately changed his tone to one of concern and shouted at him, "Then I'll help you place an order for the diarrhea medicine. I'm a fast errand boy and it will be delivered in a while."
He opened his phone, placed an order, and paid. Just as he finished submitting, he heard Cheng Xiaoyong's phone on the coffee table vibrate twice.
People were still waiting for the water to boil in the living room. Cheng Yi was watching his elder brother's movements, while the dog secretly touched his cell phone.
I looked down and saw, oh no! What a lucky message! It turned out to be a message from Cheng Lao Er.
【Cheng Lao Er】: Action tomorrow night
[Cheng Laoer]: Tan Xiong has gone to look for some young handsome guy. You are responsible for contacting the media, the more the better. Then you can create hype and cause a sensation!
The message "The other party is typing..." appeared above the dialog box, and Cheng Yi wanted to see what else Cheng Lao Er could type.
But it was too late.
There was a dripping sound from the kettle, and it was estimated that Cheng Xiaoyong would be here in a few seconds.
Cheng Yi quickly set Cheng Laoer's message to "unread", fully covering up his peeping traces, and wiped the phone screen with his sleeve, like a "professional criminal" without leaving any fingerprints.
As soon as everything was done, Cheng Xiaoyong came over with two glasses of lemonade.
"You should drink a glass too, to replenish your vitamins."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng Yi put down the cup and looked at the delivery information on his phone. "Your Qiang is here, brother. The rider has already left the pharmacy and is expected to deliver it within 7 minutes."
"Okay," Cheng Xiaoyong was relieved, and after a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, "By the way, what did Lu mean by that sentence in the elevator before?"
"Huh?" Cheng Yi took two seconds to react. "Oh, he was talking about us living in the same room. He did it on purpose to show off that he has someone to accompany him, but you don't."
"......?" Cheng Xiaoyong's expression became complicated. "Who said I didn't have it? How could I not have it? Wait, did you really accompany him?"
"How is that possible?" Cheng Yi waved his hand in denial. "What I meant is that Mr. Lu Yu is so inexplicably heroic."
"That's good," Cheng Xiaoyong let out a sigh of relief, "Don't go even if he asks you to accompany him. He's very lecherous and unreliable. He's almost thirty years old and still secretly reads pornographic books."
Cheng Yi: “…”
Help, I can’t get over this whole thing about reading pornographic books.
This is what he owes Lu Yu, what should he use to pay him back? !
The topic changed and the air fell into silence. Cheng Yi drank some water while Cheng Xiaoyong picked up his phone from the coffee table.
I poked it twice and frowned when I saw WeChat.
"What the hell, you're crazy," he muttered, "I'm already in this state, and you're still arranging things for me."
Cheng Yi listened to this and pretended to be stupid and naive: "What's wrong, brother? Is there anything I need to do? You can arrange it for me."
Cheng Xiaoyong was stunned. He really wanted to outsource the work, but then he thought about the current relationship between Cheng Laoer and Cheng Yi...
"Forget it, no need," he said. "This job isn't that complicated. It's just gathering the media and waiting for the guy named Lu..."
Cheng Xiaoyong stopped talking suddenly before he finished speaking. He looked at Cheng Yi, swallowed, and hesitated whether he should continue.
From his expression and behavior, Cheng Yi was basically certain that Cheng Lao Er's words "Action tomorrow night" were aimed at Lu Yu.
He just hasn't figured out how to act and what to gather the media to do.
"Brother, when are you and brother planning to return?" He rolled his eyes and changed the subject intentionally or unintentionally. "Lu Yu may leave tomorrow afternoon. He just asked me to check the plane ticket."
"What?!" Cheng Xiaoyong's eyes widened as he heard this. "Are you sure? Is he really going to come back tomorrow afternoon? Hey, what is Cheng Lao Er doing? I even contacted the media to create hype!"
Cheng Yi looked at Cheng Xiaoyong's anxious look and sincerely felt that his elder brother exuded a clear sense of stupidity.
"What do you mean, do you have any plans with my second brother?" He pretended to be casual, but secretly asked further, "Why don't you tell me too? Anyway, Lu Yu asked me to check the flight tickets for tomorrow. If you need me, I will try my best to delay Lu Yu, which can also be regarded as helping you."
The clear-headed and foolish Cheng Xiaoyong hesitated for a moment, and finally told Cheng Yi about Cheng Laoer's plan.
"You must not tell anyone, especially not to your second brother." Cheng Xiaoyong warned worriedly and ran to the door to see what was going on outside.
Cheng Laoer's room next door was quiet and no one had returned yet.
"Don't worry, big brother," Cheng Yi patted his chest, "Second brother, I'm so disappointed. I can't hide from you. But you, don't tell second brother that I was here tonight. Let's just pretend we haven't met."
Cheng Xiaoyong also patted his chest and made a promise. The two of them seemed to have reverted to their ancient ancestors and made a gentleman's agreement by patting their chests in an abstract way.
Cheng Yi promised to keep the secret and delay Lu Yu from going back early, but he also made it clear that he would only do this.
"My second brother doesn't even have the most basic trust in me, so I can't participate too much in this plan," he said, tears of grievance flashing in his eyes, his voice choked at one point, "As for whether he can succeed, it all depends on luck. Lu Yu is not a pushover either, but I will silently bless my second brother in a corner where he can't see me."
Cheng Xiaoyong felt that his younger brother really cared about the Cheng family, and was not as disloyal as Cheng Laoer said.
"You're a good brother," he patted Cheng Yi's back soothingly, "I thank you on behalf of your second brother."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Cheng Yi took the information and the good guy card, and without lingering any longer, he quickly got into the elevator as soon as he went out.
The plan that Cheng Xiaoyong had just told him kept echoing in his mind, and his fingertips involuntarily curled up.
Cheng Lao Er is indeed despicable enough to come up with such a sinister trick as "honey trap". Lu Yu had no plan to go back early and would still be in the hotel tomorrow night, so what should he do? How can we break the impasse without bringing disaster to them?
