Chapter 84 Divine Assistance "Brother Ke, didn't you say you only ever wanted to..."
"Brother Ke, didn't you say that only thinking about someone constantly means you like them?" Ning Buyi scribbled wildly, turning a clean sheet of draft paper into a mess of black lines.
“Fine, you don’t like it then,” Li Chang said bluntly.
"Actually, I think I like him a little, because I miss him a little." The black lines and blank spaces on the paper gradually formed a shape.
Li Chang chuckled. The name was indeed fitting; his son was truly shameless. "What if Zhu Yanhe likes someone else?" he asked.
"That won't do! He said he likes me."
The shape became clearer and clearer as he aimlessly sketched, the ink spilling from the pen forming several circles. Zhu Yanhe can't like other people; it's not that he's petty, but Zhu Yanhe has already kissed him, so he's not innocent anymore!
He should reluctantly accept it, right?
Li Chang was typing away on the keyboard, entering information and turning on the computer. He was too lazy to pay attention to anything else. He suspected that the two of them had already been dating and were now breaking up.
"Okay, okay, I like you, I like you, so what do you want?"
It's not right to say Ning Buyi likes him, and it's not right to say Ning Buyi doesn't like him either, so what's the point of saying anything? Is the couple torturing him like this?
"That's why I asked you, brother, because I didn't know." Ning Buyi put down his pen and looked at his masterpiece. An ugly little figure jumped off the paper. Hey, Zhu Yanhe!
The most common feature of the little figure and the blessing on the white paper is that they both have a mole on the corner of their mouths.
"I think what I said before wasn't absolute. Based on my nearly thirty years of experience, what you're doing is liking someone. It's an exception, but it's still liking someone. Yes, that's it."
Li Chang was spouting nonsense with a straight face. He had only said it casually before, but who knew it would become this little fool's code of conduct.
"Brother, you're definitely talking nonsense. I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm going to work." Ning Buyi felt that Li Chang was definitely trying to fool him, changing his story every now and then, and he wouldn't listen to him.
Li Chang stared at the phone that had been hung up, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. "This kid, if he likes someone, he likes them, why won't he admit it?" A sudden thought flashed through his mind.
The keyboard clattered loudly as he got Zhu Yanhe's phone number from Ning Buyi.
"Hello, Zhu Yanhe?" Li Chang glanced at the number and dialed it.
"Who are you?"
This is Zhu Yanhe's personal phone number. If an outsider wants to contact him, they must first send a private message to his assistant's email address.
“Hey, it’s my son’s brother. It’s nothing to call him, it’s just that he likes you.” Li Chang thought that Ning Buyi was just too timid to say it. “He’s awkward and embarrassed to say it, so he asked me. You can just flatter him a bit more.”
After Li Chang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He felt he had done a good deed, but he still needed to process the fact that his eldest son had become gay. So, the last time it was that kid who came to visit his parents.
Zhu Yanhe glanced at the screen and couldn't help but chuckle. The scene seemed to be right in front of him. Ning Buyi was also holding his phone, drooping his ears, and asking others whether he liked Zhu Yanhe or not.
It doesn't matter whether Ning Buyi likes it or not, as long as he likes it, that's enough. Of course, it would be even better if he does like it.
The warm autumn sun streamed into the tiled floor, filling the room with warmth even without the air conditioning on. Zhu Yanhe closed the folder he had already finished and propped his head up to watch Ning Buyi's live stream.
I swiped the screen and tapped something on the screen. The other person replied with a bunch of emojis and the last sentence, "I hate you."
Both lunch and dinner were delivered by others. Ning Buyi chewed his food at noon while spitting at Zhu Yanhe, still pretending!
He had originally planned to talk things out with Zhu Yanhe today. Although Zhu Yanhe had lied to him, he had also hurt her. So, as long as Zhu Yanhe stood at the door of this rented house, he would no longer dislike her.
As dusk settled outside, the orange-red hues spread across half the sky, casting a dim yellow glow on the bay window. Not a single figure appeared at the doorway.
There was a slight noise at the door in the evening. Ning Buyi ran a few steps barefoot, leaned against the door frame, and looked towards the front door. The noise didn't continue; it wasn't Zhu Yanhe, just the food delivery person.
He lingered by the doorframe for a long time, even though no one was going to open the door, he still waited.
Zhu Yanhe had an extra engagement: a project had reached the stage of signing the contract, but the other party kept delaying. Today, his assistant finally managed to schedule a time with this important person.
The assistant glanced at the rearview mirror from the front; Zhu Yanhe's expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotion.
He couldn't help but grumble inwardly. Usually, other companies would rush to schedule appointments with their CEO Zhu, but this guy was different. You had to be careful what he said when signing a contract. He suddenly told him he had time, and it had to be at this time. Wasn't he crazy?
The reason for this was simply because the other side possessed the technology, and the Zhu Group had not yet delved into this field. Therefore, this was merely for the core technology they held.
It was precisely because they had exclusive ownership that they picked up Joe, Zhu Yan, and said they would let him name his price. The other party didn't care about the price; they were just putting on airs.
"Did you bring the contract?" Zhu Yanhe leaned back into the back seat of the car and asked with his eyes closed.
"We brought them, but Mr. Zhu, it's so late, they'll definitely be out socializing. Will they even sign a contract?" The assistant turned around to report. He had a feeling that the other side would try to stall, after all, they were like deadbeats, and he didn't know what they were after, while his company was barely surviving.
"Yes." Zhu Yanhe replied calmly without even frowning.
The black car with the signboard was parked in front of a building that exuded splendor from the inside out. The two Roman columns supporting it stood tall and firm, and the transparent door was covered with fine gold leaf. The building was a full story high.
Zhu Yanhe stepped in, her clothes fluttering in the wind. The morning sun was still strong, but as soon as the moon hung low, the wind blew over.
As soon as he entered the lobby, people surrounded him, all wearing professional smiles: "President Zhu, you've arrived."
Zhu Yan nodded slightly and followed the person upstairs. This was the most extravagant hotel in S City, with various private rooms filled with different kinds of decadent luxury. He glanced indifferently at the private rooms he passed along the way, and finally stopped in front of an unopened door.
The manager, with a respectful attitude, opened the door to the private room for him: "Mr. Zhu, please come in."
It's less like a private room and more like a complete house. Besides the dining table, there's a long sofa on the left, and a lounge room is located through a wooden partition.
Bright lights shone directly on the dining table in the center, but there was no one at the table, and the rotating glass was also empty; the food had not yet been served.
"Mr. Zhu, you've arrived quite early." The figure on the sofa shifted slightly, and he spoke softly, without any intention of getting up. A scantily clad woman was sitting on his lap, the two figures intertwined, completely disregarding Zhu Yanhe.
"It was official business, please excuse me." Zhu Yanhe's tone was flat. Although the person in front of him had no room for moral decline, he couldn't care less. What he needed to be wary of was whether this person would plant a time bomb for him.
The figure on the sofa lightly patted the woman's buttocks. The woman glanced at him reproachfully and lightly slapped his plump body, making his flesh ripple.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly before slowly standing up: "Busy man, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Yanhe simply smiled faintly, unconcerned by the sarcastic tone of the person opposite him. He turned and sat down with the other person.
The soft leather cushions sank in, and only five people sat at the large dining table. He only brought one assistant, because the contract was on their side, so there was no need to bring a legal representative to verify it.
There were three people opposite. Apart from the CEO in the middle, his assistant and the woman were sitting on either side of him. In this ordinary private room, the two ends were worlds apart.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for making time to come. We have brought the contract." After receiving Zhu Yanhe's instructions, the assistant couldn't help but look at the man in front of him. He was a typical fat man with big ears, all his features gathered on one big face. He was really ugly.
Mr. Wang glanced around and changed the subject: "The contract isn't urgent, let's eat first."
He beckoned to the waiter standing at the door and ordered the dishes to be served. Zhu Yanhe straightened his sleeves, his every gesture exuding elegance.
He lazily raised his eyes, only to see President Wang exchanging glances with his lover beside him. After a moment, his lecherous gaze shifted downwards again.
Zhu Yanhe just felt disgusted by him. It was strange that such a person possessed the core technology of their industry.
"No rush, let's sign first." Zhu Yan and Liang Liang spoke up. This was the second sentence he had uttered tonight. His assistant had already said everything he wanted to say before.
Mr. Wang seemed to have achieved his goal, and signed the document without further ado. Zhu Yanhe stayed a few more minutes out of politeness before leaving. He had only taken a few steps outside when the noise from inside became quite loud.
"What is Zhu Yanhe? He's still being played by me, and he still has to watch my face. He's nothing special."
The assistant behind him was already drenched in sweat, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. This guy was really reckless; they had only walked a few steps out the door, and he dared to say such things.
Zhu Yanhe paused briefly, then continued walking forward with his expression unchanged. In his eyes, the person could only be described as having a rudimentary human form, but inside he was still like an unevolved animal, utterly disgusting.
Zhu Yanhe even complained that his hands were dirty when buying things from him, making it even harder to imagine that he was the founder of this technology.
As the vehicle drove back into the night, Zhu Yanhe's phone rang as soon as he got in. He glanced at the screen and immediately asked the driver to change lanes.
Ning Buyi was live streaming in the evening when there was a loud banging on the door. The food delivery person had already come, and he had finished eating. Zhu Yanhe also knew the door code, so it couldn't be him.
It must be that person who hadn't shown up for a long time. Every time he banged on that door, he was so afraid that one day the door would be broken. So he sent a message to Da Xiong without thinking.
Zhu Yanhe turned on the camera and glanced at it. When the time was set to the present, the man's pupils suddenly trembled. Who is this person?
In the camera footage, a raggedly dressed person, whose gender is unclear, is hunched over and pounding on the electronic lock. Under the high-definition camera, white handprints can be seen reflected on the black door.
He must be the crazy person Ning Buyi mentioned earlier who was banging on the door late at night. Zhu Yanhe frowned and immediately sent a message to Ning Buyi, saying that staying home was the safest option.
The driver pressed the accelerator harder and harder, and Zhu Yan's heart jumped. He bought a house in a mid-range community. Although there were security guards, if they were even slightly useful, they wouldn't have allowed this beggar-like person to come in and disturb the peace.

The author's note: Li Changneng is still the best.
Ning Buyi and Zhu Yanhe got married. Under Ning Buyi's expectant gaze, Zhu Zhu asked the question, "Who is Zhu Yanhe's husband?" Ning Buyi jumped up excitedly: "It's me!! It's me!!! It's me!!!!"
