Chapter 10

Lin Ziran pretended to be angry and left Zhao Mingze's house, thinking about what to do next while walking.

There are actually two main lines in this mission world, one is the relationship between Wen Yu and Lu Sui, and the other is the career line of Lu Sui's revenge on Lu Zhen.

The relationship line is now at a standstill, but the career line can actually be done. From Zhao Mingze's words, it can be seen that the reason why Lu Sui is entangled with Wen Yu is that he has not given up on revenge. Then successfully completed the career line of revenge, and it can still save the deviant plot!

Thinking of this, Lin Ziran finally rekindled his fighting spirit.

………………

Lu Sui came back from a business trip soon. He remembered the phone call Wen Yu had made to him, and was a little curious about how Lin Ziran would face him. He didn't know what reason Wen Yu made up this time.

Lin Ziran glanced at Lu Sui, but he didn't intend to bring it up now. According to the original plot, Wen Yu had already proposed to break up at this time, and Lu Zhen begged Wen Yu to get back together, but pretended not to know what happened in front of Lu Sui. What, it's very humble... I don't even talk about breaking up, not to mention that I haven't broken up with Wen Yu yet, so I have no reason to mention it in front of Lu Sui. Wouldn't that make Lu Sui unable to step down?

Don't tell me if you see through, save each other's face.

Lin Ziran thoughtfully said to Lu Sui: "You have worked hard these days, if you have any difficulties at work, you must tell me."

Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran's gentle and concerned eyes, and felt a little strange. He didn't know what reason Wen Yu made up. can bear...

It's as hypocritical as ever.

Lu Sui smiled: "I'm fine."

Xin Dao, Wen Yu's side is a tough nut to crack, so let's forget it for now. But... What he really wanted when he came back this time was not Wen Yu in the first place.

………………

Lin Ziran has returned to the life of a two-point-one-line president. Although Lu Sui has shared the burden a lot, and has been giving Lu Suiai the heavy burden in the name of "valuing"... But life is still a bit boring, and Wen Yu's movie is over, Lin Ziran Then I started watching other dramas to pass the time.

Time passed day by day, and one day Lin Ziran suddenly ate his own melon while swiping his phone. Someone secretly took pictures of his chain hotels, pointing out that some hotels had hygiene problems, and there was a phenomenon of sneak photography due to improper management... This incident caused an uproar. It was reposted by several big Vs, and it was immediately pushed to the forefront, so that the company's stock price fell by the limit that day!

Lin Ziran suddenly regained his energy. He knew that this plot was actually deliberately designed by Lu Sui. In order to suppress Lu Zhen and seize control of the company, he did not hesitate to use such despicable means to discredit the company.

Lu Sui had already wooed other shareholders of the company secretly, and with the stock he bought privately, he already had a lot of say in the company, but at this time Lu Zhen was defenseless, and was confused by the sudden public relations crisis. He was so devastated that he even took the initiative to hand over this matter to Lu Sui, and he had great trust in Lu Sui.

Lin Ziran immediately called Lu Sui and called him to his office.

Lu Sui quickly came over, "Brother, what do you need from me?"

Lin Ziran thought in his heart that you are such a bad boy, but with a worried expression on his face, he said, "Have you seen the news on the Internet?" He pushed his mobile phone over as he spoke.

Lu Sui looked at it, and his expression became ugly.

Lin Ziran frowned: "We have to respond quickly, can I leave this matter to you?"

Lu Sui said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Seeing what he said, Lin Ziran sighed with relief, "It's great that you can come back."

Lu Sui raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "This is a small matter, even if I don't trust you anymore, you can handle it, and I should help you."

Lin Ziran showed a moved expression.

After he handed over the work to Lu Sui, he sent Lu Sui away, turned on the computer and continued to read news online.

This is just the beginning.

………………

Lu Sui has not been idle in foreign countries for the past few years. Not only has he met a lot of contacts, but he has never stopped contact with the country. The book does not describe in detail how Lu Sui does it, but he does have certain Otherwise, Lu Zhen wouldn't be in a state of distress.

After facing the public relations crisis, the company also encountered problems in the approval of the new hotel project, which caused the original construction period to be delayed and suffered economic losses every day.

The topic on the Internet is still fermenting. Although the company quickly issued a rectification statement, not many people bought it, and the rival company was more than happy to add insult to injury.

In addition, the company's hotel transformation has not been in place in the past few years, and it has been impacted by many new brands, resulting in unsatisfactory performance this year, and even considering selling some hotels with unsatisfactory performance. Lin Ziran expressed dissatisfaction.

Lin Ziran didn't take these things to heart, and it went from one ear to the other. Even if the company closed down, it didn't matter to him. Besides, Lu Sui didn't do it himself. Otherwise, how could he pull Lu Zhen down? After getting rid of Lu Zhen, Lu Sui naturally had a way to stabilize the situation, and the immediate disadvantage was just a temporary illusion.

Although he doesn't think so, Lu Zhen has always regarded the company as his own painstaking effort. After taking it over from his father, he has worked hard for several years. Now he naturally wants to pretend to be distressed and work hard.

So, Lin Ziran started working overtime again...

In the middle of the night, the president's office was still brightly lit.

Lin Ziran was enjoying watching dramas while swiping his phone, um...it would be more perfect if there was a midnight snack.

While thinking this way, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Lin Ziran almost jumped up from his chair in fright, he looked at the time nervously, it was eleven o'clock in the evening! Who will knock on his door at this time? Everyone else on this floor has already left! In order to prevent anyone from finding out that he was not doing his job properly, he even sent away his secretary Xiao Liu who insisted on working overtime with him!

[Lin Ziran trembled: Darling, are you sure there are no ghosts in this game? 】

In the office building in the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door, thump, thump, thump...

[System: ...No. 】

Although this system is not very useful and does not even have the authority to broadcast live, Lin Ziran still trusts him very much, because the system will never agree to him without knowing anything! If the system says there is no, then there must be no.

Lin Ziran breathed a sigh of relief: "Come in."

Zhao Mingze pushed the door open and entered. He looked at Lin Ziran's face that was ready to fight, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Surprised to see me?"

Lin Ziran: "...a little bit."

Zhao Mingze walked over familiarly, put the bag in his hand on the table, and smiled: "I heard about your company, and thought that you must be very busy recently, so I called Xiao Liu to ask about your situation, and he said that you Still working overtime... Nuo, I brought you a midnight snack along the way."

night what? night what?

Lin Ziran's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Zhao Mingze with an extremely kind and gentle look, why is he so understanding!

Although I am a president, I absolutely cannot refuse the temptation of midnight snack!

"Thank you." Lin Ziran managed to maintain his reserve, showing a standard flawless smile.

Zhao Mingze sat casually on the chair, smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, eat while it's hot."

Eat, eat, eat, of course!

Lin Ziran stopped being polite to Zhao Mingze, opened the plastic bag, and immediately smelled the aroma. He just felt that his life had been sublimated at this moment. He really liked this villain so much.

As long as you keep pretending so well, we can always be friends!

Zhao Mingze just sat quietly at the side like this, staring down at Lin Ziran who was concentrating on eating, and at the slightly tired blue eyes under his eyes, he must have stayed up a lot these days.

He waited patiently until Lin Ziran finished eating, and then smiled softly: "If you need my help, just tell me you're welcome."

Lin Ziran has a short mouth and looks more pleasing to Zhao Mingze. Even if he knows that the villain has bad intentions, it doesn't matter. He said, "Thank you, but I have nothing to do with it. And Lu Sui is here, he will help me..."

There is really no need to bother Zhao Mingze to take action on such a small matter, not to mention that he has to give Lu Sui a chance to perform.

The look in Zhao Mingze's eyes was gloomy. He looked at Lin Ziran's lips. Because of the food he had just eaten, the color of his lips, which were originally light, was darker than usual, like ripe cherries, plump and plump. The smiling eyes are bright and clear, making people unable to take their eyes off...

A little bit, I don't want to endure it any longer.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently brushed the corner of Lin Ziran's lips with his thumb.

Lin Ziran's voice stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at Zhao Mingze, no, isn't that right... What are you doing?

Wait, are you going to say that something sticks to my lips in the next second...

Do you still want to kiss me?

Although we slept once, it was just an accident, and we agreed to never mention it again! It's not appropriate for you to be obsessed with me like this!

Not suitable really not suitable.

Zhao Mingze frowned: "It's too greasy, wipe your mouth."

Lin Ziran: "..."

Speaking of which, Zhao Mingze stood up, wiped his hands with a tissue, and smiled calmly: "Then I'll go first, don't work too hard, things will always work out."

Then he turned around and left lightly.

Lin Ziran looked at Zhao Mingze's back with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth carefully. Where is the oil? Obviously only a little bit!

[Lin Ziran: My CEO suddenly has a crack TT]

[System: Oh. 】

………………

After a few more days, things started to turn around in the company.

Thanks to Lu Sui's hard work in public relations, public opinion on the Internet was quickly brought under control, and the company's projects resumed production... Lin Ziran had expected this, so there was no surprise.

He knew that this was what Lu Sui wanted him to see, and what Lu Sui wanted other shareholders to see.

At least on the surface, it's a heartwarming tale of brothers coming together to tide them over.

Lin Ziran was moved, and Yu Lu Sui was also willing to take the plot seriously.

In view of Lu Sui's cooperation, Lin Ziran is also full of confidence in the following plot! As long as they cooperate sincerely, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome!

Next week is Lu Sui's 26th birthday, and it has been nearly two months since he returned to China. I need to celebrate Lu Sui's birthday and prepare a special birthday gift for him~

a week later.

Lu Sui sat alone in the office, gently turning the pen in his hand, with a cold and indifferent look in his eyes.

In the past few months, he has already figured out the company's operating conditions. All departments have been placed in his own hands, and some of the company's shares have been purchased privately. The board of directors has also secretly contacted several people who have long been interested in Lu Zhen. Disgruntled directors...

Everything went very well.

It's just that Lu Zhen owns half of the shares, and he didn't make any big mistakes. It's still difficult for him to shake his position.

When his father was dying, he left everything to Lu Zhen, but he didn't mind, really... He never had any expectations of that man, never thought of wanting anything from him, so he just Won't be disappointed, didn't even come back when he died.

At that time, he wanted to draw a clear line with this place, so he left alone.

But why did you come back in the end?

Lu Sui's face was tense.

By the way... today is my birthday.

But he hasn't celebrated his birthday for many years. After his mother passed away, no one will remember his birthday anymore. The elder brother who used to help him celebrate his birthday is gone... He is like a person who is suddenly forgotten by the whole world. forget.

Obviously some people are still there, but there is no difference between them and their absence.

A sarcasm appeared on the corner of Lu Sui's lips, and he slowly stood up.

When he got home, it was already past seven in the evening.

The house was deserted, and it seemed that there was no one there. Lu Sui looked at it and planned to go upstairs.

At this time, the light in the kitchen suddenly turned on, and he looked over subconsciously. Lin Ziran walked over holding a somewhat crude cake in both hands, with crooked eyebrows and a soft smile: "Happy birthday, Xiao Sui .”

Lu Sui's gaze slowly moved down, and landed on the cake held in the man's hand, his eyes narrowed, as if he was stung by something.

Do you still remember...

Lin Ziran looked at Lu Sui with a smile.

Xiao Lu, who just came to the Lu family back then, was a little introverted and withdrawn. He was an illegitimate child. Even if he married with his mother, his background was not very glorious after all. His mother always told him to be obedient, not to be willful, not to make noise, not to Stealing Lu Zhen's limelight...

Lu Zhen was also estranged from him at the beginning. He didn't reject this younger brother, but he didn't like him either. The one who did the wrong thing was his father, not this child. He was older than him, so he should be more tolerant.

And this child really has no sense of presence in the Lu family.

Discovering Lu Sui's birthday was an accident. After Xu Lanna married into the Lu family, she has always been a responsible person. She treats Lu Zhen better than her own son. She will take care of Lu Zhen's birthday seriously and treat Lu Zhen with care... This stepmother's behavior makes people unable to gossip . But for his own son Lu Sui's birthday, he just bought him a random gift and let him play alone, but Lu Sui wanted a birthday cake...

Lu Zhen was sitting on the balcony on the second floor reading a book, and accidentally heard the noise downstairs, so Xiao Lu cried to Xu Lanna for a birthday cake, and even dropped the presents, no matter how sensible and well-behaved she is on weekdays, she is still just a child ...But Xu Lanna was busy helping Lu Zhen prepare clothes for school, and went out to a banquet with Lu's father, so she didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Sui, and reprimanded him to be more sensible and not to worry about her mother all the time.

Lu Zhen looked at the boy who was left alone, and suddenly felt that he was actually as lonely as himself. That day he walked down by a ghost, took the boy's hand and said: "Brother, will I make you a cake?"

Lu Zhen's cake was not very good, even a bit of a failure, but that day Lu Sui happily ate all of them, and felt a little nervous after eating. If his mother knew that he was causing trouble to Lu Zhen, she might blame him again.

Lu Zhen pulled the hook with him and said: This is our secret, and no one will know.

Thinking of this plot, Lin Ziran was silent for a moment. All in all, perhaps because of this little secret, Lu Zhen and Lu Suicai finally got closer, not just strangers living under the same roof.

Or maybe... just two lonely people who want to keep each other warm.

For Lu Zhen at that time, Lu Sui was a very important person, but why not for Lu Sui?

Lin Ziran smiled at Lu Sui: "It's been a long time since I've been a babysitter, you won't be disgusted with it, will you?"

Lu Sui slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side, and smiled lowly: "You have never done it well, and I am the only one who does not dislike it."

Because of this sentence, Lin Ziran seemed to be reminded of some past events, his eyes could not help softening, he put the cake on the table, and said, "Do you want to make a birthday wish?"

Lu Sui smiled slightly, "Okay."

He lowered his head slightly and blew out the candle.

Lu Sui closed his eyes, and he remembered what happened many years ago.

He was only eight years old when he came to Lu's house. Before he was eight years old, he never knew that he also had a father, until one day his mother took him to a very large and luxurious home, where he met To his father and brother.

At first, there was joy. He thought he finally had a family and could live the same life as other children. He had a father who loved him and an elder brother who would play with him. But soon the facts told him that this was not the case. His mother kept admonishing him to be well-behaved, obedient, and sensible...don't make his father and brother unhappy, let alone steal the limelight from his brother. He would reprimand him, his father was indifferent to him, his brother was estranged from him, and others always looked at him with strange eyes, as if he was a person who should not exist, a disgusting existence...

Here, his mother revolves around his father and his elder brother every day, and the best things will always be left to his elder brother. This home is really big and spacious, but he feels that he has no room for himself than the narrow house he used to have. Even the mother who only cared about him once left her eyes and love to another person, and the time left for him is getting less and less.

Like, more lost than before.

And he was never needed.

He didn't like this place, and he never thought of robbing his brother for anything. He began to want to leave this house, and he would rather he had never been here before.

This idea became more and more intense on his first birthday after coming to Lu's house. Just when he wanted to escape desperately, that elder brother who was always distant and indifferent suddenly appeared in front of him. In front of him, he took his hand and said, will my brother make you a cake?

what do you want

Do you like it sweeter or lighter?

The young man looked at him with a smile. In fact, he was not much older than him, but he seemed much more mature and stable. He had always envied his brother, envied that he was loved by everyone, envied that he was so outstanding, envied that he was born different from himself, envied him Why is he so nice and gentle... I don't even hate him, I hate him, I only hate myself for being so humble, I don't even have the right to be close to him.

The cake wasn't very good, but he had a good time eating it, it was better than any one he had eaten before, the two secretly made a mess of the kitchen, and then agreed that no one would do anything wrong say it.

From that day on, my brother would often come to see him, take him out to play from time to time, give him his own toys, and even say that this is my brother without hesitation when others bully him...

At that time, he really felt that it was great to have a brother, and he didn't need anything, as long as he could stay by his side like this.

until that happened.

If he really had a wish, he hoped that the time could stay fourteen years ago.

But that's impossible.

The short-lived illusory beauty is not worth mentioning in the face of the cruel and long reality.

Lu Sui opened his eyes. He hadn't recalled these past events for a long time, because he didn't want to be shaken, and he didn't want to forget how this person pushed him away in the end.

In fact, you don't need to pretend to be nice to me, and you don't really care about me.

Seeing Lu Sui blowing out the candles, Lin Ziran was a little curious about what the bear boy wished, but it didn't matter... He took out the birthday present he had prepared, looked at him with a smile, and said, "This is my birthday for you. Gift."

It's a simple file bag.

Lu Sui took it casually, opened it, looked up at Lin Ziran in disbelief.
