win or lose game

On the day Shao Yigui decided to break up with Tang Hexiao, something happened that made him change his mind.

At that time, Shao Yigui sent Tang Hexiao to the door of the latter's house. When he stopped the car, he decided to tell the other party that it was best not to meet again in the future.Tang Hexiao didn't expect Shao Yigui's plan at all. Every date up to this point is usually a farewell kiss, and sometimes there are more intimate interactions.Tang Hexiao, who was hiding his homosexuality, didn't dare to behave too far in front of his house, but it was natural to kiss each other with a light smile.Shao Yigui didn't resist the kiss.He never rejected beauties, and Tang Hexiao's appearance really surprised him at the beginning.It's just that he didn't expect that the opponent who should be the flower of Gaoling would be taken down so easily by him. Before he had time to be tired of the opponent's appearance, he was tired of this lack of challenging action.

Shao Yigui, who responded to Tang Hexiao's kiss, was thinking about whether to make another kiss before breaking up. At this moment, his car window was knocked.

Someone dared to disturb his good business so ignorantly, Shao Yigui looked out of the car window angrily.Beside him, Tang Hexiao was in chaos. "It's my brother." He first saw the people outside the car clearly, which was the reason for his panic.

Shao Yigui had heard Tang Hexiao mention his elder brother more than once, and the awe in Tang Hexiao's tone made him laugh every time, but at this moment, Tang Hexiao's terrified tone like a child in trouble made him even more curious about the long-known Tang Linwen.He rolled down the car window and looked up at the man who was looking down at him.

It is said that the man who is Tang Hexiao's elder brother looks completely different from his younger brother. In terms of appearance alone, he belongs to the type of passer-by that Shao Yigui has no interest in taking a second look at.Shao Yigui somewhat understood why Tang Hexiao was afraid of his brother, but if it was enough to scare him, no amount of evil spirit would be enough.

The person who was stared at coldly was naturally rebellious, but at this time he showed a nonchalant smile, and pretended to greet Tang Linwen: "Hello, Mr. Tang. My name is Shao Yigui, brother Ling's boyfriend."

Tang Hexiao, who heard his self-introduction, was frightened and unconsciously let out an obvious gasp.Tang Linwen's expression did not change, he still stared at Shao Yigui coldly, and said directly to Tang Hexiao, "He Xiao, you go in first." The tone of the man who has been in the superior position for a long time is unquestionably commanding.Tang Hexiao hesitated for a short moment before disarming and surrendering. He didn't even look to say another word to Shao Yigui.

Shao Yigui was just bored with Tang Hexiao's character of easily giving up and obeying. If the current accident hadn't happened, he was telling the other party at this moment that the two of them were not suitable, and they should not meet again in the future.But now, plans have changed.Tang Linwen looked straight into his eyes and told him "Leave He Xiao" in an imperative sentence. Shao Yigui made a decision, and he said affirmatively, "I will never break up with He Xiao."

"You refuse to cooperate," Tang Lin asked, "then I'll let He Xiao break up with you." He seemed to be stating a natural fact, and he didn't take Shao Yigui's position in Tang Hexiao's heart at all.

Normally, Shao Yigui has a good temper, but at this moment he was successfully provoked.He deliberately smirked, and said in a confrontational tone: "Let's wait and see, Mr. Tang."

Shao Yigui's tone was obvious, and Tang Linwen naturally understood it. He frowned, and there was a trace of sternness and anger in his cold eyes: "He Xiao is not your game."

Shao Yigui did not intend to treat Tang Hexiao as a game, but how could he show weakness at this juncture? "You love me, who's game is it?" the senior player from the game world asked calmly. He didn't give Tang Lin a chance to speak, and he started the car and drove away from the scene.

Shao Yigui had heard of Tang Linwen.The younger brother once said something, and as far as the business world is concerned, Tang Linwen is also considered a legend, and people can always hear a thing or two.

Shao Yigui was seldom convincing, but when he heard Tang Linwen's story, he still somewhat admired it.Speaking of which, although the Tang family brothers were born into wealthy families, they can also be said to be poor people.Their parents died in a plane crash when Tang Linwen was 15 years old and Tang Hexiao was 12 years old.The Tang family, which founded such a big enterprise as the "Tang Dynasty", is pitifully small. Brother Tang Linwen lost his parents, and the only relative left is his uncle.Liu Yan, the uncle who took over everything of Tang Linwen's brothers as a guardian, was engaged in the "career" of how to take the "Tang Dynasty" as his own all day long.Tang Linwen, who was still in middle school at the time, was also a good tactic. He never confronted his uncle head-on, but as much as Liu Yan poached, he took it back quietly. On the surface, it seemed that his uncle Liu Yan was in charge of the overall situation, but unknowingly Tang Linwen became "" The real power figure of the Tang Dynasty. At the age of 18, Tang Linwen did not enter the university campus, but formally took over the "Tang Dynasty".To this day, Tang Linwen has been safely keeping his uncle by his side, staying in the high position of the "Tang Dynasty", obviously he is sure of everything under control.Shao Yigui had never cooperated with Tang Linwen, but he watched the development of the "Tang Dynasty" and knew that this young man who did not graduate from university was capable.

But having said that, being a good businessman does not mean that he can be a good brother.From Tang Hexiao's few words, Shao Yigui could feel that the younger brother didn't have any sense of intimacy other than being in awe of his elder brother. Tang Linwen wanted to come to Tang Linwen to control his younger brother's life entirely by force.If Shao Yigui felt vaguely guilty for treating his relationship with Tang Hexiao as a game with Tang Linwen, then every time he thought about it, he was also helping Tang Hexiao, who had no independent life at all, to find the courage to resist. I have somewhat regained some confidence.However, Shao Yigui thought about it in detail, but the development of the matter did not mean to cooperate at all.Logically speaking, in the story, there will always be some struggles between a couple who are disapproved by their families. In the worst case, Tang Hexiao should secretly contact Shao Yigui, but in the end, since that night when Tang Linwen asked Tang Hexiao to break up with Shao Yigui, Tang Hexiao would No audio at all.That's probably what happens when a mud cow enters the sea.

Shao Yigui could imagine Tang Linwen confiscating Tang Hexiao's mobile phone and locking him at home—even though he couldn't understand it at all—but no matter what, there is no flawless defense in the world. Yigui got in touch, but Tang Hexiao didn't hear anything, obviously he lacked enough determination, or in other words, his attachment to Shao Yigui didn't make him dare to resist his elder brother.For this reason, Shao Yigui, who knew that he could not pin his hopes on Tang Hexiao, decided to take the offensive by himself.

Shao Yigui's actions were evaluated.What he had to do was not only to fight against Tang Linwen's will, but at the same time, he also needed to draw Tang He Xiao into his camp so as to occupy a more favorable position.Therefore, he set the negotiation scene in front of the gate of the Tang family villa that Tang Hexiao was likely to see or at least know about in order to be motivated.

On this day, Shao Yigui parked his car early in the driveway in front of Tang Linwen's car when he came home. For this reason, he wasted more than two hours in the car.People who have never been impatient have not been impatient this time.Mainly, in his plan, Tang Linwen would probably return home from get off work later.Shao Yigui's car was parked there, mainly for Tang Hexiao to see.It's just that he didn't expect Tang Linwen to show up before Tang Hexiao sneaked out to meet him.

In order to get a chance to negotiate with Tang Linwen, Shao Yigui had already conceived many plans.As a result, Tang Linwen's driver came over and asked him to get into Tang Linwen's car.

Shao Yigui was a little surprised, but also quite proud.Tang Lin asked that such a self-respecting and arbitrary person would not be willing to spend time doing unnecessary things when it was not necessary. He would take the initiative to ask Shao Yigui to get in the car, obviously not yet fully in control of the situation.Tang Hexiao did not give in completely, so Tang Linwen had to spend his energy dealing with Shao Yigui.

When getting into the car, Shao Yigui already had a little more confidence and certainty than when he was waiting for others. "Mr. Tang, about two months ago, a series of unusual things happened one day. Can I tell you the story of that day?" He preemptively took the right to talk with his unexpected opening remarks.

Of course, Tang Linwen could refuse to listen.But if he wanted to refuse, he wouldn't let Shao Yigui get in the car in the first place.So, as Shao Yigui expected, although Tang Linwen looked unhappy, he remained silent without interruption.

"What was unusual at the beginning of that day was that," Shao Yigui began to read slowly, "I'm usually very lazy and hate walking, no matter how close I was, I always drove out, but that day, I obviously had to walk for at least half an hour. But I chose to walk on a whim. At the same time, the weather forecast said it would be fine weather, but it rained unusually not long after I went out. I walked into a cafe to avoid the rain—this is another Quite a rare situation, you know, I hate coffee, I almost never go into cafes—afterwards, because I was bored, I sat by the window and waited for the rain to stop, and I made a bet with myself, guessing whether the tenth passer-by was a man or not Female. At the moment when the tenth pedestrian passed by, the sky suddenly cleared. I actually lost a bet to myself. I thought the tenth person would be a woman, but a young man walked over, but I was not depressed at all. He walked into the cafe after passing the window. Because there were so many people that day, he had to find someone to share a table, so he walked up to me who was sitting alone and asked me if I would mind. At that time, the rain stopped and I could Gone, as I had been impatiently waiting. But, finally, I nodded and agreed to share the table and stay. So I got to know He Xiao—and so I knew that it doesn’t matter if you’re not a woman." Ninety-nine percent of the story is To be honest, Shao Yigui didn't expect a story about deceiving a little girl to impress a man as shrewd as Tang Linwen, but instead of being led by the nose by Tang Linwen, he might as well launch the offensive first, "Mr. Tang, what does it matter if you are male or female?" ?It’s better for God to send someone to your window, beside you, than to spend a lifetime looking for a woman who doesn’t exist.”

"I'm also talking about something that happened about two months ago." Tang Linwen didn't see the talent for storytelling at all, let alone the ability to discuss well with others. I was sitting in the corner of a bar, and I happened to hear two men at the next table talking about breaking up. The short one was unrequited, and refused to agree, and kept recalling the other’s past love words. The tall one said, if people’s words are reliable, cooperation will be fine. There is no need to sign a contract, and there is no need to issue a marriage certificate to live together. The reason why people keep signing is because otherwise they will not keep their promises. Therefore, the so-called agreement means that if you don’t sign, it will inevitably fall through sooner or later.”

Shao Yigui felt that these words sounded familiar.He had a bar he frequented, where he often broke up with people, and there was usually a lot of reason to break up.Just as he was wondering if he was the protagonist of the story, Tang Lin asked and continued: "Afterwards, when I got home, I found that He Xiao had gone to the Fusisheng Hotel."

The story gets interesting here.Tang Hexiao went to the hotel to meet who, the key was to do, which made people daydream.Shao Yigui almost listened with gusto.

"Fusisheng Hotel was a row of small bungalows more than ten years ago. Among them was a noodle shop with a cypress sapling at the door. At that time, He Xiao was invited by the boss to eat noodles because he had no money and was hungry. Xiao didn't want to get something for nothing, so the boss casually said that as long as He Xiao came to take care of the little sapling from time to time, it would be a face money. From then on, He Xiao took it seriously. More than ten years later, the little sapling has now become an adult in a five-star hotel The courtyard tree, but nothing has changed for He Xiao, in order to keep his promise, he stays in the hotel from time to time, just to 'take care' of the cypress tree."

This story really exceeded Shao Yigui's expectations.After dating Tang Hexiao for two months, he didn't realize that the other party was actually such a dead-headed person.

"Indeed, He Xiao is too serious about death, which may not be an advantage." Tang Lin asked, "But that day, in just a few hours, I met the person who took the promise the least seriously and the person who kept the promise the most. Now, I found that These two people are in a relationship, and I have reason to think that they are not suitable for being together."

Shao Yigui thought for a while in silence.He was digesting a fact that surprised him—now, he was sure that the person Tang Linwen saw in the bar was himself, which meant that Tang Linwen also went to the gay bar where Shao Yigui often went—if Tang Linwen had a normal sexuality, he would How is it possible to be in a bar that is almost full of men?

This information can be put to good use when necessary, but before that, there is no need to reveal too much of your thoughts.In the end, Shao Yigui just pretended to be sincere and replied: "Mr. Tang, I understand how you love and care for your younger brother. Presumably in your opinion, I am not good enough for He Xiao. But, with all due respect, first of all, He Xiao and I It may not last long, maybe one day we will break up naturally. Now that you forcefully break us up, it will only make He Xiao sad, so why bother?"

Tang Linwen's expression remained unchanged after hearing so much, but he still unconsciously gave Shao Yigui an extra look.Obviously, very few people would use the argument of "we will separate sooner or later anyway, why don't you oppose it" in the negotiation of the current scene.After a slight pause, Tang Lin asked slowly, "If you think you won't last long, why bother to persuade me?"

Shao Yigui, who was quite satisfied with the effect of his surprise attack, explained "frankly": "I don't think so, but I can't rule out the possibility. After all, no one can tell the future. If I say it right now, I will love you forever. Akatsuki, that's acting in an idol drama."

Tang Lin asked and looked at Shao Yigui calmly, "Do you think I should separate you when your relationship has deepened to the point where you decide to be together for the rest of your life?" sharp.

So Shao Yigui also pretended that the other party was just having a serious discussion with him, and replied solemnly: "If it really becomes a lifetime thing, I believe that Mr. Tang will definitely bless your younger brother. After all, we all know how rare this is. "

Tang Lin asked without refuting, but continued to ask: "Then if you decide to break up when He Xiao has decided for the rest of his life, who among you should I bless?"

Only then did Shao Yigui realize what Tang Lin was asking.

To be honest, Shao Yigui is usually not that dull, especially this old-fashioned scene where he beats a mandarin duck with a stick.Generally speaking, the reason for the opposition is that the family is wrong, and the rest is basically worried that their "beloved daughter" will be "abandoned from beginning to end".It's not that Shao Yigui never thought that Tang Linwen didn't want his younger brother to be with himself as a veteran in love. However, Tang Linwen's thoughts on himself were very indirect. Only then did he seem to casually lead the problem to the fact that Shao Yigui was not sincere.

It is very dangerous to reveal one's true thoughts in a business negotiation, but one did not expect that Tang Linwen would do the same when dealing with his younger brother's love affairs.Shao Yigui didn't understand why Tang Lin asked why he didn't want to let himself know what he was most worried about, but anyway, he had already prepared for this question——

"Mr. Tang—I am a straightforward person, I hope you don't take offense—I really can't guarantee that I will never let He Xiao down, maybe, there will be a day when I will make He Xiao sad. But now, you force Breaking up He Xiao and me not only made He Xiao lose me, but also made him lose the brother he loved and trusted. In the end, he was left with only one brother who he couldn't understand, and he could only bear all the sadness and sadness alone. And another situation, in case I leave He Xiao in the future, at that time, at least he will have an elder brother by his side who can let him seek comfort. Keep going."

The best lie in the world is the one that tells the truth.Moreover, Shao Yigui was still in the drama club when he was in college.Even if his "sincerity" did not impress Tang Linwen, at least it made Tang Linwen unable to question it any longer.After a moment of silence, Tang Linwen softened slightly.

"Anyway, let He Xiao go home first."

Shao Yigui carefully controlled his facial muscles without revealing any surprise.But in any case, this was really beyond his expectation - Tang Hexiao was not at home.

Thinking about it now, Shao Yigui's previous curiosity about why a person like Tang Linwen would be so impatient and take the initiative to ask him to get in the car was finally answered.Naturally, Tang Linwen thought that Tang Hexiao sneaked out and went straight to Shao Yigui, so he had to give Shao Yigui a chance to talk.

However, the problem now is that Tang Hexiao did not go to Shao Yigui.It is very likely that Tang Hexiao couldn't decide whether to listen to his brother or choose Shao Yigui, because he was in a dilemma, so he hid alone and thought.Thinking about it this way, the key to the outcome now is whoever finds Tang Hexiao first.

Tang Linwen didn't know that his younger brother was missing, so he wouldn't take the initiative to look for it, which gave Shao Yigui a great advantage.How could Shao Yigui leak this vital information?

Facing the opponent who finally missed and made a wrong move in this game of victory and defeat, Shao Yigui replied calmly: "I can't make the decision for He Xiao, but I will tell him."
