Chapter 55 Chapter 55 It seems that Cheng Yi is very happy with his new statue...
Cheng Yi had no idea what had happened in the box when he went out to answer the phone.
I just felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed a little subtle, but I couldn't tell exactly what it was.
He attributed this feeling to an illusion.
Lu Yu looked at him, and Lu Lingyi was also looking at him. Cheng Yi blinked and shifted his gaze to the upside-down gift tag on the dining table.
Lu Lingyi rubbed his hands beside him and urged him, "Turn over one, Brother Xiaoyi, and see if I deserve to receive the gift of my dreams."
Cheng Yi smiled, wiped his hands solemnly with a wet tissue, and rolled up his sleeves. His fingertips slid across the backs of a dozen gift cards one by one, and finally he turned over the third one from the right.
The cards were revealed, Cheng Yi looked down, and when he saw the two big words on the cards, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What?" Lu Lingyi came over pretending to be ignorant.
"A very... abstract gift for my sister-in-law." Cheng Yi said with a cough. His eyes subconsciously flicked towards Lu Yu, and after a brief second of staring at each other, he immediately turned his gaze back.
Lu Lingyi whistled excitedly and turned to look at his brother, only to see Lu Yu staring at Cheng Yi intently, with a rare tenderness hidden in his black pupils.
"It's really God's will," Lu Lingyi's tender shoulders fully assumed the role of the matchmaker, "If you ask me, Brother Xiaoyi, you can be my sister-in-law, okay?"
Then he turned to Lu Yu: "Brother, what do you think?"
Lu Yu's heart beat faster, his eyelashes drooped, and his Adam's apple rolled.
He was about to speak when Cheng Yi's voice came through the air before him: "Stop it!"
Lu Lingyi; "."
Lu Yu; “?”
Cheng Yi's eyes dodged, and he felt a fever inexplicably from his ears to his cheeks. His voice dropped two degrees, and he repeated it again, whispering: "Don't make a fuss. How is this possible?"
Lu Ling opened his mouth and turned his gaze to his brother again, using his eyes instead of his mouth to interrogate his soul: What's going on? I don't think this is that surprising. It seems more like a shock.
I feel like I'm about to fail. Don't let all this trouble on your part be one-sided.
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was surprised for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
He felt that Cheng Yi was just shy. He was only thinking about himself and didn't want to admit it in front of an outsider like Lu Lingyi.
"Okay, stop making trouble," Lu Yu cleared his throat and followed Cheng Yi's words, thinking that he must not embarrass Cheng Yi too much.
"Let's leave it at that regarding the gift." He patted the chair beside him, motioning Cheng Yi to sit down.
Cheng Yi bit his lip and didn't move. Based on the principle of responding to everything and making sure everything was done, he rubbed his nose and said reluctantly, "Since this is God's will, I'll try my best."
Lu Yu suddenly raised his eyelashes and his heart beat faster.
Lu Lingyi rushed over and excitedly grabbed the wrist of his future sister-in-law: "Really, Brother Xiaoyi, are you really willing to give it a try and see if you can be my sister-in-law?"
Cheng Yi: “…”
Cheng Yi: “………………”
Cheng Yi felt that Lu Lingyi might be out of his mind today, as he was so determined not to let go of his "sister-in-law".
"It's impossible for me," he shook his head and denied it again, "Mr. Lu is the boss, I am the subordinate, what kind of subordinate would become the boss's wife?"
"What I mean is, I have a friend in a matchmaking agency. If Mr. Lu really needs it, I will try my best to help him pimp."
Lu Lingyi: “…”
Lu Yu: “……………………”
What Lu Lingyi was worried about finally happened. He secretly poked his brother from an angle where Cheng Yi couldn't see.
The sky is falling. He mouthed.
Lu Yu closed his eyes, and the black carp (Yu) completely turned into a flathead fish (Yu).
*
Lu Yu couldn't sleep that night, and felt like a huge stone was blocking his chest.
It turned out that he had been overthinking it all along. Cheng Yi only treated him as his boss, and all his care and concern for him was only because he was the "boss".
Not like.
However, looking back at himself, he seemed to be really attracted to Cheng Yi. This is the first time in twenty-seven years that I’ve fallen in love with someone.
Lu Yu tossed and turned all night long, and when the alarm rang, he was still staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. My head is dizzy.
At the breakfast table, Lu Lingyi sipped his milk and quietly observed his brother from across the table.
"Were you the fleeced sheep all night last night?" he said.
Lu Yu didn't even raise his head: "What do you mean."
"I can't sleep."
“…”
Lu Yu was not in the mood to joke with him, nor did he have an appetite to eat. He just drank a glass of milk and got up to go to the company.
"Wait a minute," Lu Lingyi called him, "Do you need me to help you pull the pimp rope between you and Cheng Yi?"
"No need." Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
Lu Lingyi smiled and pulled his sleeves: "Sit down first and listen to me. In fact, this is what it feels like to like someone. It's sweet in the midst of bitterness, and joy in the midst of bitterness."
Lu Yu stood there without moving, staring into the distance.
"But the feeling that Cheng Yi gives me is that he doesn't completely dislike you." Lu Ling changed the subject again.
Lu Yu sat down this time: "Why do you feel this way? Tell me more."
Lu Lingyi started talking freely.
From the time when Cheng Yi helped Lu Yu retain the fallen boss, to when he rescued him from the hands of the scumbag. Cheng Yi is always proactive and willing to help Lu Yu do these things.
For what purpose? Is it just because he is the boss and the subordinates have to please him?
He didn't think Cheng Yi was such a snobbish person, and he rarely saw him flattering others.
Lu Yu pondered over these words, and more details came to his mind.
In addition to the two things Lu Lingyi mentioned, Cheng Yi also helped him a lot at the Innovation Conference. He handled everything from PPT to the honey trap beautifully, and was very low-key. He didn't want him to know about the good things he did.
"You think he has feelings for me, but hasn't figured it out yet?"
"It's possible. You can observe more." Lu Lingyi continued to counsel. "And there is another problem. If you have decided to like someone and want to be with him, you should cherish him with your heart and touch him. Don't use routines and try to let him speak first. You have to be more proactive and pursue him."
Lu Yu savored Lu Lingyi's words, sat back at the dining table, his frowned brows relaxed, and he started eating breakfast again.
When Lu Lingyi looked at his brother, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He could not believe it, he really could not believe that after thousands of years of hard work, a man with such a stable heart would actually be troubled by love.
But this is also a good thing, because good relationships can make people grow. I just pray that his brother can succeed in wooing his wife soon...
After Lu Yu finished his breakfast, he went upstairs to change his clothes. He had only worn a set of black suits before, looking like a mature boss.
Today I suddenly decided to change my style. The white shirt fully shows off the broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.
Lu Lingyi watched his elder brother fixing himself in front of the mirror for more than twenty minutes, and his mouth widened with smiles.
"As expected, once a man has a sweetheart, even the calmest and most aloof man will become a peacock."
"..." Lu Yu pretended not to hear what he said, took the car keys, turned around and walked out.
*
On the other side, Cheng Yi was also eating breakfast at home.
During this period, the Cheng family has become less and less prosperous.
Cheng Wu Ju's mother took him to another place for medical treatment and recuperation. His father and Cheng Xiao Yong were busy with various affairs of the group and they could only see each other once a week on average.
Two-thirds of the domestic servants and cooks also resigned, and the prosperous family was already showing signs of decline.
Only Cheng Yi and Cheng Ranxing had breakfast at home this morning.
Cheng Ranxing frowned as she sipped her coffee, complaining that she shouldn't have fired the hand-brew barista. She was only used to the coffee he made, and the coffee made by everyone else was shit.
Cheng Yi shook his head silently, thinking that if his family really fell into poverty in the future, there might not even be anyone to make shit-smelling coffee for him.
"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Ranxing looked at Cheng Yi and knocked on the table.
Cheng Yi couldn't say aloud what was in his mind about her.
"Don't talk while eating or sleeping. I'm afraid you'll be sprayed with rice grains."
“…”
Cheng Ranxing moved his chair back and waited for him to swallow the food before speaking again: "Last time, the paparazzi I hired took photos of you and Lu Yu spending Chinese Valentine's Day together. You two are not really in a relationship, are you?"
"..." Cheng Yi really wanted to spit out a rain of rice grains now.
He knew that the paparazzi would definitely take pictures of him and Lu Yu.
After all, Lu Yu's front and side face photos all made his wide-brimmed straw hat go to waste.
"What kind of inner kind is that?" He shrugged and said, "We are just superiors and subordinates, pure and simple. Sister, you won't be jealous of this, will you?"
Cheng Ranxing said that she had feelings for Lu Yu, but it was not known whether this was true or not. Cheng Yi had been thinking about it that day, if his third sister wanted him to use his position to help bring her and Lu Yu together, would he agree?
The answer is no.
Simply because I don't want to. His first reaction was his intuition.
Cheng Ranxing rolled his eyes at Thomas and didn't answer him. Cheng Yi didn't say anything else either, and the topic ended there.
After finishing breakfast and getting ready to go to work, just as he was about to leave, Cheng Ranxing stopped him again.
"Lu Yu will attend the business reception of the Vatti Group tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, wait, how do you know his itinerary?" Cheng Yi asked alertly.
"I got it from fortune-telling," Cheng Ranxing raised his eyebrows, "It's just right, I'll go there tomorrow too."
The little radar in Cheng Yi's heart suddenly sounded. High risk red alert.
Cheng Ranxing knows what Lu Yu wants to do and she plans to go to the cocktail party tomorrow. Is it for Lu Yu?
The previous short essay that slandered Lu Yu didn’t make much of a splash, and the paparazzi didn’t succeed in taking secret photos, so I thought I had given up. Is this a comeback?
Before Cheng Yi could ask something else, Cheng Ranxing had already gone upstairs humming a tune.
He curled his fingers and gave up for the time being.
After going out and trying to squeeze into the bus, when he was almost at the platform, Cheng Yi suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring his cell phone. I had no choice but to jog back home.
The cell phone was not in the living room, it should be in the bedroom. Cheng Yi climbed up the stairs panting, and when he passed the door of Cheng Ranxing's room, he suddenly heard the voice of his third sister coming from inside.
"I want the internal effect. I will find a chance to create some ambiguity or friction with Lu Yu. All you have to do is - click! click! click!"
"Remember, the shooting angle must be tricky enough so that it is easier to nail."
“……!!” Cheng Yi took a breath of cold air. All I could think of was: "Click! Click! Click!"
So Cheng Ranxing is trying to scam me? It's like a steel pipe poking a frog, awesome.
I give up. I am really impressed.
For the entire morning, Cheng Yi's mind kept going "Click! Click! Click!"
It was not until his colleague reminded him that it was time for lunch that he came to his senses and saw a WeChat message from Lu Lingyi on his phone.
Invite him to a book cafe at noon.
Cheng Yi thought about it, replied "OK", picked up his phone and went out.
"I haven't cast the screen to read novels for a long time. Let me show you the treasured novel I stayed up late to read last night." In the store, Lu Ling turned on the device while calling the waiter to bring beer and fried chicken.
Cheng Yi looked up at the big screen - "Boss, please let me go, I'm just a stand-in!" 》
His eyes lingered on the last two words for a long while, and suddenly Cheng Yi slapped his thigh: "Yes, a substitute!"
Lu Lingyi was so frightened that he dropped the fried chicken and spilled the beer on his crotch.
"Sorry, I'm excited." Cheng Yi quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe him off. After that, he didn't care about reading the novel anymore and asked impatiently, "Are you as tall as your brother? Stand up so I can see."
Lu Lingyi stood up obediently and looked at him in confusion: "I'm 186cm tall and my brother is 191cm tall. Why are you asking this?"
Cheng Yi looked at his whole body. His physical condition was good, his facial features were 80% similar, and his body shape was about the same. The only problem was his height. If he was to be a stand-in, he might need some assistance.
"Come, listen to me," he gestured to Lu Lingyi, "You may not believe it, but you'd better believe it. I heard from the grapevine that there will be a business reception tomorrow, and someone wants to scam your brother..."
Lu Lingyi: “!”
Lu Lingyi: "Oh! So you still care about my brother, right?"
Cheng Yi patted his head and said, "Is this the point? Let's get down to business first!"
The two of them spent an entire afternoon to make a strategic plan.
There are two sets of tactics in total. A: At tomorrow's cocktail party, Cheng Yi will try to delay Lu Yu and prevent him from showing up at the party. No one is here, it's just an empty space.
B: If Cheng Yi fails and Lu Yu insists on going to the cocktail party, then the "stand-in plan" will be activated to confuse Cheng Ranxing. The real and fake "Lu Yu" will confuse Cheng Ranxing, making him feel guilty about doing bad things. He will not be able to figure out which one is the real one, so he will not dare to act rashly.
The substitute plan requires the preparation of supplies in advance: height-increasing insoles, Lu Yu's same private clothes, and the same glasses.
Lu Lingyi wrote all of this down in his notebook, patted his chest and promised, "No problem, all the supplies will be in place by tomorrow!"
It was almost 2 o'clock when Cheng Yi hurried back to the company.
When I passed by my boss' office, I was called in directly.
Lu Yu had a video conference this morning and he didn't see much of anyone. When he walked in, he suddenly discovered that Lu Yu had changed his look today.
The white shirt he was wearing was the simplest and most low-key style, but when worn on him it seemed to be endowed with magical powers, making him look clean, refreshing and pure.
But while it is pure, it also seems to carry a hint of desire.
His collar had two buttons open, revealing his distinct collarbone. The line of the collar outlined his delicate jawline, and his firm chest muscles made the shirt look fuller.
Cheng Yi swallowed hard and couldn't help looking him up and down: "Boss Lu, you look really good in a white shirt today, like the hero from a comic book."
After hearing this, Lu Yu's mouth corners raised a little, and when he saw Cheng Yi was also wearing a white shirt, his smile raised even more.
"Can I take a picture of you, Mr. Lu?" Cheng Yi was thinking of an idea and took out his cell phone.
Lu Yu sat up straight, raised his chin slightly, and pushed his silver-rimmed glasses down, pursing his lips lightly: "Okay."
It seems that Cheng Yi likes his new look very much. He will have to call the housekeeper later and ask him to not customize the autumn clothes this year in the same way as in previous years, which are all black suits and black windbreakers.
Use more fresh colors to look younger and more energetic.
After taking the photo, Cheng Yi looked at it and grinned with satisfaction. He decided to let Lu Lingyi cosplay Lu Yu based on this photo.
But he cannot reveal the "substitute plan" to the person involved.
"So handsome! With this photo, I can ask my friends at the matchmaking agency to find a partner for Mr. Lu!" he made up with a smile.
Lu Yu was stunned after hearing this, and his pouting lips immediately turned flat again.
He stood up from his chair, snatched Cheng Yi's phone, and deleted the photo he had just taken in seconds.
"?" Cheng Yi was dumbfounded. "What's wrong? The photo is not good?"
"No, how could you give my photo to a matchmaking agency?" Lu Yu stared at him sharply, his tone becoming darker and darker, "What happened yesterday is over now. I don't need you to introduce me to any additional people. Do you understand?"
