Several people were startled when they saw him appear.

Lu Mengxin did not expect to meet Gao Jinyang here.

"Gao, Mr. Gao..." It was Yan Jiashan who spoke, different from the arrogance of the previous second, when he saw Gao Jinyang appearing, he immediately froze, like an overwatered bouquet, drooping his head, He looked a little absent-minded.

Gao Jinyang glanced at Lu Mengxin first, seeing a trace of astonishment on his face, then waved to Yan Jiashan and said to him: "Xiaoshan, come here."

Yan Jiashan stood still, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

At this moment, no one opened their mouths to speak. Everyone seemed to know that in front of Gao Jinyang, they didn't dare to play those little tricks anymore, as if they would be exposed by him in the next second.

"Xiaoshan...I'll let you come here." Gao Jinyang stood upright by the door with a smile on his lips, still looking kind, but his tone was not as friendly as this, "I won't repeat the same thing a second time." .”

Yan Jiashan finally understood what he meant, raised his legs and strode towards Gao Jinyang station.

Walking to the door, Gao Jinyang looked at him with a slight smile, stretched out his hands to brush his hair, "I haven't seen you for so many days, why do you have a mournful face?"

The person in front of him tried his best to smile, "President Gao..."

"Okay, let's go." Gao Jinyang didn't say any more, and led the people to open the door, ready to leave.

Lu Mengxin stared at their leaving figure in a daze. Just now, the moment Gao Jinyang turned around, he read a strange meaning from those dark eyes.

It was a warning look, with a teasing, sly smile.

Why did Gao Jinyang smile at him like that?Lu Mengxin thought for a moment, but didn't know.

Yan Jiashan was taken away, leaving only An Yuan and Lu Mengxin in the courtyard.

Seeing people go away, Lu Mengxin's ambition before coming here has also been wiped out, looking at An Yuan now, the sadness in his heart seems not so important.

"I'll go first." He nodded to An Yuan, ready to leave.

An Yuan seemed to be deep in his own thoughts, and when he heard him speak, he realized that there was another person standing here, and quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute!"

Lu Mengxin had already taken two steps. Hearing him calling her, she turned to look at him, with a puzzled expression on her face, "Me?"

"Yes, it's you." An Yuan swallowed twice, unsteady, thought for a moment and said: "Xiao Lu, I have a heartfelt request."

Lu Mengxin came out of the film crew, walked towards the tree-lined path where the car was parked, and ran into Wen Xianting who had been waiting by the roadside for a long time.

He was about to escape, but Wen Xianting greeted him one step ahead, "It's such a coincidence, why are you here?"

Lu Mengxin immediately changed his expression, and pretended to say hello to the other party with a smile: "Isn't this Wen Zhu? Are you also here to run the news?"

Wen Xianting gave him an inexplicable look, and then explained, "Mr. Gao is here." He meant something, "Yan Jiashan."

Lu Mengxin cooperated with a look of sudden realization, "So that's how it is." Having said this, he was no longer going to say anything, and walked to the front of the car to open the door and get in the car.

Wen Xianting stopped him at this moment, "Xiao Lu, wait a minute!"

Lu Mengxin looked back at him, "Wen Zhu?"

"Come on, I'll leave this to you!" Wen Xianting threw him a small key ring with two metal door keys pinned to it.

Lu Mengxin was puzzled and said, "What is this?"

Wen Xianting said: "Come back to work after the Chinese New Year, don't worry... I won't treat you badly as President Gao's assistant."

Lu Mengxin had heard before that Wen Xianting had his own residence, a small duplex of a hundred square meters on the second floor, and the house was only a few tens of meters away from the high-rise house; He can't remember whether it starts with A or Q; the most important thing is that as Gao Jinyang's secretary, his salary is very high, and he has half a month's paid vacation every year, which does not include the year-end bonus and dividends...

These are just hearsay, Lu Mengxin never thought that as an assistant, he could enjoy such treatment, until the moment just now, Wen Xianting threw this bunch of keys to him...

"Being an assistant shouldn't be too shabby, it's given to you by the company, take it..." Wen Xianting said to him, "I'll move there after the Chinese New Year, and when things get busy, I advise you not to treat me too badly." own."

As soon as Lu Mengxin left, Gao Jinyang came out of the building.

Seeing Wen Xianting's malicious smile, Gao Jinyang glanced lightly, and asked straight to the point: "Did you give him something?"

Wen Xianting was triumphant, "You have fulfilled your mission."

The two got into the car, Wen Xianting turned around and gave him advice: "Boss, you really want to pick on that kid, this method won't work."

Gao Jinyang looked at him with a smile, "This method won't work, but you can tell me it's feasible?"

Wen Xianting has been with him for many years, and he knows that once Gao Jinyang wants to touch or point at a young man, his methods are mediocre.

Now Wen Xianting said with a smile: "If you really want to take him down early, I might as well give you an idea..."

Lu Mengxin counted the days with her fingers, and there was less than a week left before the Chinese New Year.

After coming to Jiangcheng for so many years, he can be regarded as a small achievement.

When it comes to the New Year, Lu Mengxin is rather timid. He still hasn't learned to face the place called home.

Seeing him in a daze, Fade Chen raised his hand in front of him and asked, "Brother Meng, are you okay? Why didn't you respond for a long time?"

Lu Mengxin looked back at him, "Oh...what's the matter?"

"Oh what, you called me, you forgot?" Fade Chen waved his phone, "You called and didn't say a word for a long time, I thought you had something to do, so I ran over quickly... "

Lu Mengxin wiped his face, "It's okay, I'm sorry..." He got up and sent the person out.

Before leaving, Fade Chen asked him again, "Brother Meng, why are you going back to 'Sheng Hui' after the Chinese New Year?"

Lu Mengxin thought of what Wen Xianting said to him before, and the phrase he asked himself before the two parted, "Do you really have to think about being a paparazzi for a lifetime and making a fortune?".

After seeing Fade off, Lu Mengxin hurriedly packed his luggage.

Before that, Fade Chen had already helped him manage the land, now he only needs to load the luggage into the car.

Lu Mengxin stood at the door of the basement where he had lived for many years and looked in, feeling reluctance and unwillingness in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Mengxin closed the door heavily, put the key on the door frame outside the door, as if saying goodbye to the whole past year, waved to the door, and left without looking back.

Lu Mengxin's hometown lived in a small village dozens of kilometers away from Jiangcheng. The village was closed and backward, and the young and middle-aged people in the village all looked for opportunities to go out to work.

Lu Mengxin's parents had divorced in the early years because of emotional discord. After that, Lu's father and his lovely wife gave birth to a son, who was a reincarnation younger than Lu Mengxin, and looked very similar to Lu's father; Lu's mother never remarried, and lived in poverty , Facing his son, he felt ashamed.

When he was a child, Lu Mengxin would hate his parents' decision to divorce. Later, when he grew up and became more sensible, he saw too many couples who were still inseparable from each other. One second, they would fight over trivial matters, and he understood in an instant. The choice of his parents back then - because his childhood was spent in such an environment.

After his parents divorced, the old house belonged to his underage son.It wasn't until Lu Mengxin's year that he officially owned the right to use the house.

As a child who has not felt the love and affection of his family for many years, Lu Mengxin has always regarded the old house as his last resort, even though he still faces the four cold walls and the silence of the room every year when he returns home.

Near the end of the year, Lu Mengxin's cousin Lu Mengbin also returned to his hometown.

I heard that my cousin opened a restaurant in the capital, and the business is in full swing, making a lot of money.

When Lu Mengxin heard the news, she was happy for her cousin from the bottom of her heart.

The two brothers played together since they were young. Later, Lu Mengxin's parents divorced, and the two had no contact for a few years. It was not until Lu Mengxin graduated from university that his cousin Lu Mengbin learned of Lu Mengxin's whereabouts, and the two got in touch again.

Having not seen each other for a year, Lu Mengbin naturally had a lot to chat about with this cousin. The first thing he said when he met him was: "Xiaoxin, why are you losing weight again?" The next sentence was gossip, "In Jiangcheng After so many years, have you got a girlfriend?" He couldn't get a positive answer from Lu Mengxin, so he simply started to chat about his work, "You said you...are not doing a good job, what kind of paparazzi!" He asked Lu Mengxin suggested, "Why don't you come to the capital to develop next year, with your cousin under my cover, let's see who dares to bully you!"

Lu Mengxin smiled shyly, thanked him for his kindness, and said: "I, I am no longer a paparazzi." He said, "I am now the assistant to the chairman, um... assistant..."

Lu Mengbin opened his eyes wide, laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder, "I can't tell, okay, you..."

"Hey... You've done a good job, it will be better when you find a girlfriend to make a lifelong decision." Lu Mengbin thought in a broken voice.

Lu Mengxin couldn't bear the curse of his cousin, he had not been disciplined for many years, and now he heard Lu Mengbin's long-winded words, he couldn't help but get angry, "I, I didn't say I want to get married."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Mengbin raised his hand and gave him a thump on the forehead, "You are young and have a successful career. If you don't ask for a wife sooner, it's hard to..." He suddenly stopped at this point. up.

After a while, Lu Mengxin also realized what the second half of his cousin's sentence meant.

It is said that my cousin is gay.

This news broke out when Lu Mengxin was just an adult, like a bomb that completely overturned the peaceful days in this ancient and backward small village.

For the first time, he knew the word "homosexuality". It was a secretive, cautious, unknown and shameful word.

Lu Mengxin will never forget the pain his cousin suffered at that time.

December of that year was extremely cold, with heavy rain and snow in the winter, my cousin was stripped naked by a group of adult men in the village, tied up and sent to the depths of the mountain forest.

The cold snow fell in his eyes, and tears froze.

Lu Mengxin wanted to step forward to stop them, but grandma came forward to stop them.

She blocked Lu Mengxin's way, and the crutch in her hand struck the snow ground solemnly, with a loud sound, "Xiao Xin, this is what your brother deserves, he deserves!"

Until now, Lu Mengxin can't forget the look in grandma's eyes at that time, the expression on her face was devoid of emotion, as if she was talking about the fate of someone who had nothing to do with her.

Later, my cousin left the village and went to a big city, and my grandma passed away. Lu Mengxin only felt that the people who were extremely important to him in his life were leaving him one by one.

Thinking of this, Lu Mengxin's nose felt sour, her throat was choked, and she couldn't make a sound.

"Why are you talking so much? Come on...it's rare for you to go home for the New Year. Come and sit with me." Lu Mengbin came back from the memory, with a smile on his face again, and licked at this silly brother. Put his head, "Your hair should be cut too, the hair of one hand."

The doubt that Lu Mengxin wanted to ask was stuck in his chest, after thinking about it, he finally swallowed it back, shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Boss Lu, why don't you cut me clean!"

The author has something to say:

The cousin's experience can be regarded as a transition.
