chapter 13
Mo Chengyu looked at Meng Youcheng with a face full of doubt...
Sensing the strange looks, the man hurriedly explained, "He looks so innocent, he doesn't seem like the kind of person you're describing."
The young man thought for a moment, then smiled. "That's true. He looks so young. When I first saw him, I thought he was only fifteen or sixteen. I didn't expect him to be 24..."
"If you dressed him in a school uniform and said he was a high school student, I would believe you..."
The man's lips twitched, but he didn't reply.
Mo Chengyu continued walking and talking, "Although he does look very innocent, don't be fooled by his appearance..."
"He served as chairman of the Xu Group for six years, that's a fact. He must have seen it all..."
"The fact that he could survive in such a scheming life shows that he has already changed. You still need to be careful and try not to get too close to him..."
He understands the logic, but...
Xu Zaixing doesn't look like a scheming person at all.
His eyes, in particular, were bright and clear, revealing his innocence...
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone who has been fighting in the workplace for six years.
The man sighed. "Perhaps he was just lucky; he stumbled upon a business opportunity right after taking office, or maybe he told me before..."
"His uncles and aunts have always helped him; he hasn't managed much of the work..."
The young man put his hand on his shoulder and patted him. "The world of the rich is different from the world of us poor people. Their thoughts are also different from ours..."
"They are all two-faced, just like... that bitch Gu Jingyun."
That makes sense.
He still doesn't understand what Mr. Gu is thinking.
One moment good, the next bad; unpredictable, like a split personality...
Gu Jingyun could tell at a glance that he was a lunatic, but Xu Zaixing was different. No matter how Meng Youcheng looked at him, he thought the other person was a sunny and cheerful big boy...
They certainly won't be as crazy as Gu Jingyun.
"Rich people usually approach us with an ulterior motive..." The man thought for a moment, then continued to defend the boy, "What about you, Mr. Xu? What's your purpose in approaching me? I have no money, no house, and no savings..."
"That's true..."
The young man nodded. "We're both broke, he certainly wouldn't be after the few coins in our pockets..."
Mo Chengyu patted him on the shoulder, "Let's be careful..."
"By the way, Xu Zaiya said she wants a light blue wedding. I'm thinking of a design, can you help me think of one too..."
……
The two took the bus back to the company...
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw you, Mr. Gu, waiting for them at the door...
The two exchanged a glance, hesitated, and stepped forward...
Gu Jingyun rushed over, "How did it go? Did it go smoothly? Xu Zaiya didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
Mo Chengyu looked at him, hesitated, but ultimately said nothing and went inside...
Meng Youcheng, standing to the side, watched the two of them without saying a word...
Gu Jingyun's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Not to mention Mo Chengyu, even he didn't understand what the other party's purpose was.
The two had a huge fight yesterday, but today, Mr. Gu acted as if nothing had happened and even inexplicably showed concern for them...
You're fine now, but Mo Chengyu remembers it all...
You even called them shameless!
Fortunately, the two didn't argue, which is a good thing.
Gu Jingyun watched the young man's retreating figure, sighed, and turned around to see Meng Youcheng. "How was it? Xu Zaiya didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
The man shook his head. "I wasn't there. Chengyu and Miss Xu spoke privately..."
How could you let them talk alone?
Gu Jingyun was a little angry. "Don't you know how difficult that woman is? What if they start arguing and fighting? You know Mo Chengyu's personality; he's so impatient and gets angry at the slightest provocation..."
"What if the two of them accidentally...!"
Dude, you're seriously sick...
No, why are you yelling at me?
What do I care if they fight?!
And you have the nerve to say that Mo Chengyu doesn't have a mirror at home? Look at yourself in the mirror; you're clearly even more impatient than him...
And didn't nothing happen?
Something wrong?
Just because someone ignores you doesn't mean you can take it out on me!
"Young Master Gu..."
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, "Nothing happened, everything went smoothly."
Gu Jingyun paused, looked at the man in front of him, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, You Cheng, I was just too worried. It's good that you're alright..."
"Then I'll go in first."
……
A month has passed quietly...
Gu Jingyun and Mo Chengyu's relationship has made almost no progress...
The 180cm tall young man is a career-driven individual. Ever since he took on Ms. Xu's commission, all he can think about is designing a blue sky...
I'm not in the mood to argue with Mr. Gu anymore...
Gu Jingyun has become really strange...
He was incredibly kind one moment and incredibly mean the next, treating everyone the same. But after tormenting someone, he would secretly glance at Mo Chengyu, who was only focused on his work...
Meng Youcheng forgot to take his things a few times...
Back in the office, I often heard Mr. Gu shouting and yelling...
The content is roughly as follows...
"What the hell is wrong with me?!"
"He abandoned me! He's ignoring me completely! He doesn't treat me like a human being at all!"
"Why should I bother trying to curry favor with him?!"
I'm so confused...
I don't know what he's talking about?
Perhaps a mental hospital would welcome him more?
Maybe he really isn't normal?
But what exactly do they need to do to be together?
Time ticked by, one person here inexplicably went crazy, while another person there was preoccupied with their career...
Their relationship is now like two parallel lines that can never intersect...
What should I do?
Time waits for no one, he has to hurry!
My little sister is still waiting for me!
Meng Youcheng's mind was completely occupied with the two of them, and he had no interest in drawing any design drafts...
He's a total straight man and a lifelong single, so it's already difficult for him to date anyone, let alone for two straight men who aren't exactly gay. It's practically impossible...
Not a single clue...
【ding dong】
Just then, Meng Youcheng's phone rang...
He hesitated before taking out his phone, swiped the screen, and when he saw the person who had sent him the message, his brows furrowed tightly...
This profile picture is Xu Zaixing?!
The second male lead who disappeared for almost a month?
[Xu Zaixing: Husband, are you done with the design drawings? Let me see them first, I can give you some ideas?]
Below the content, there's also a rabbit emoji...
That emoji is so cute, the little bunny is wearing glasses and making a heart shape with its hands...
"Oh……"
Upon seeing the cute emoji, Meng Youcheng immediately smiled...
He became even more convinced of his inner thoughts; his judgment was indeed correct, and the other person was just a simple child.
Moreover, this emoji is exactly the same as Xu Zaixing's; both are cute.
The design drawings were not completed; only the initial draft was available.
Meng Youcheng still asked Mo Chengyu for the first draft and sent it to him.
The other party replied in less than two minutes...
[Xu Zaixing: Husband, did you draw this? It's so beautiful...]
It also comes with a rabbit emoji.
[Meng Youcheng: It wasn't me, it was my colleague.]
[Xu Zaixing: Husband, tell your colleague that my sister prefers things to be simpler. Remove all the patterns and unnecessary additions.]
It also comes with a rabbit emoji.
Without hesitation, Meng Youcheng relayed the other party's thoughts to Mo Chengyu, who was standing nearby...
Upon hearing this, the young man quickly nodded, indicating that he would do as he was told.
[Meng Youcheng: I spoke with my colleague, and he agreed.]
[Xu Zaixing: Hehe, husband, I've been talking about a project lately, guess what?]
It also comes with a rabbit emoji, this one even cuter, also wearing glasses, but with a hopeful expression.
The man looked at his message, especially the two "hehe"s, and immediately laughed...
"What cunning person would utter those two words?"
"He's clearly just a simpleton."
[Meng Youcheng: You're so capable, you must have closed the deal in no time, right?]
[Xu Zaixing: No (crying) It was my uncle who negotiated it, I'm not that great at all...]
This time, the rabbit emoji features a little rabbit with a very sad face.
[Meng Youcheng: You've been the chairman of the Xu Group for six years, not only without incident, but you've also expanded the company's assets. That's really impressive! (Great job!)]
This time, the other party did not reply immediately.
Meng Youcheng hesitated for a moment...
Maybe the other person is busy?
Why does it show "The other person is typing"?
Do you need to type a very long text?
It's unlikely; maybe they just forgot to turn it off.
The man closed his phone...
Looking at the design draft in front of him, he sighed and continued drawing...
Just then, [ding-dong], the phone rang several times in a row.
He picked it up and looked at it...
[Xu Zaixing: Brother, you've misunderstood. I'm not as capable as you think. Most of the work in the company is done by my uncles and elders. They're the ones who are capable...]
[Xu Zaixing: Please don't overthink it. I'm just a silly boy who doesn't understand anything, really...]
[Xu Zaixing: Husband, I need your help urgently!]
As he read these lines, Meng Youcheng's brows furrowed tightly. He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
I could only reply with one sentence...
[Meng Youcheng: What's wrong? What happened?]
