Teddy's Counterattack Guide [Rebirth]

After leaving the detention center, it was already raining heavily outside.

Lu Yan thanked the prison guard who led him the way, held an umbrella alone, and walked towards the car while sending text messages to Gu Jinglin.

Because he explained a few more words to the prison guard, Lu Yan came out a bit late, after the time stipulated for visits.The female secretary was ordered to act, and she was very concerned about his safety. She finally hoped for him to come out, so she hurriedly got out of the car and went up to meet him. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lu Yan, she breathed a sigh of relief, and called out respectfully. : "Boss Lu."

Lu Yan spared no effort to look up at her, thinking that this girl is also quite interesting.

The female secretary that the second brother hired for him was surnamed Wang, and her last name was Yuanyuan. It was a very cute and feminine name. However, this impression was only kept until Lu Yan saw her resume. When looking at her, it is inevitable that there is a sense of weakness from the inside out.

It was stated on the resume that this girl had served as a soldier in the Special Forces, and then she broke her leg in another mission, and she recovered because she could no longer withstand high-intensity training.Her overall quality is very good. She was originally assigned to work, but Lu Yunhuan happened to hear about it from a friend, so she tried her best to find her and protect Lu Yan full-time.

In the first few days when he heard the news, Lu Yan refused. He is an adult man after all, so why should he be protected by a girl?

At first glance, this kind of thing is the order of the family. In addition, Lu Yunhuan turned his elbows outward, and never consulted the opinions of the parties on matters of principle. Therefore, even though Lu Yan was very reluctant, he still had to accept the fact that he took over as the president. On the day of the position, the female secretary who came to work at the same time.But after getting along for a while, Lu Yan felt that this person was okay, he was indeed different from the legendary coquettish little secretary, but he was a bit too concerned, and he would never let him take any heavy documents.

Standing in front of her, Lu Yan always felt like a little bird clinging to her, which was very strange, but he endured it and asked solemnly, "What's the next plan?"

"If you are not tired, we will go back to the company. Vice President Lu has adjusted the high-level configuration of the head office. There are personnel changes that need to be reviewed and signed by you." Wang Yuanyuan was afraid that Lu Yan would get caught in the rain, so she leaned over to hold the umbrella for him , Said like this, "But there is no rush, if you are tired, you can go back to rest today, and do it tomorrow."

Lu Yan glanced at his watch, it was still early, and Gu Jinglin was not at home, so he could only play with the dog when he went back, so he said, "Go back to the company, is the second brother there?"

"Yes." Wang Yuanyuan led him to the side of Lincoln, and opened the car door for him, "The vice president just called to ask about the situation, but I didn't dare to tell him that you went in alone."

Just as Lu Yan was about to get into the car, he couldn't help but cry when he heard this, and couldn't help but said: "It's fine if he treats me like a child, you can be normal."

Wang Yuanyuan had no choice but said helplessly: "When the labor contract was signed, the vice president specifically explained that you should not be allowed to leave my sight casually, otherwise accidents will easily happen."

"What can happen to me?" Lu Yan said.

"It's not you," Wang Yuanyuan recalled, "It's said that other people are prone to accidents."

Lu Yan: "..."

Wang Yuanyuan frowned slightly, shook her head as if she couldn't understand it, and said: "After listening to me at that time, I thought you might have a bad temper or the type who easily conflicts with others. Only after meeting did you realize that you are different from what you imagined. a bit big."

Lu Yan originally thought that it was because of his gentle personality and being polite to his subordinates that there would be a contrast, but before he finished thinking about it, he heard the other party say again: "You are too thin, and it is easy to lose money when fighting with others. You have to practice hard, no wonder the vice president is worried."

Lu Yan looked puzzled: "Didn't my brother say that others are prone to accidents???"

Wang Yuanyuan said: "Yes, you are the president of the group, if you have an accident, can others be okay?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Director Lu sighed, and thought that the girl was fine in everything, but she was a little hard-headed, so she didn't say any more after that, and got into the car obediently.

The headquarters building of the Lu Group is also in the center of City B. The location is prosperous, not too far from Donghuang Entertainment.Lu Yan hasn't officially taken over the job yet, and he doesn't come here many times, just as a name, and the specific affairs are temporarily handed over to Lu Yunhuan.

Since Li Shujun had the biggest decision-making power in the group for a long time, some so-called "insiders" were more or less placed inside.Naturally, Lu Yunhuan knew better than Lu Yan in this regard, and knew how to deal with it, so he simply took advantage of the opportunity of the two of them to sort out all the personnel in the main positions, and planned to let Lu Yan participate after the process was cleaned up.

Lu Yan's management experience is almost zero, and dealing with people is even weaker, so I am glad to have someone to help take care of these.

When the car arrived at the headquarters building, it was just in time for a lunch break, and there was a heavy flow of people entering and leaving the main entrance.Lu Yan is not used to being called "Boss Lu" when meeting people. He didn't want to meet too many people, so he asked to go through a side door, and then took the elevator in the stairwell to the top floor.

There are only a few high-level offices and a conference room on this floor, and the environment is very quiet.Lu Yan's office is the one used by Lu Chengrui before, and the decoration fits the aesthetics of a man of that age.Lu Yunhuan asked if it needed to be refurbished before using it. Lu Yan felt that it was not necessary, and it would be good to keep it as it is, so he didn't even replace a table or a chair.

Every time he enters here, Lu Yan will have a feeling of déjà vu, as if he has returned to the study of Xishan Villa.

Lu Chengrui is not a person with very unique taste, but he lives very delicately and pays attention to many small details, so that after his death, the places he lived will leave some kind of imprint, like the smell of old wood, It's not obvious, but it's everywhere.

Lu Yan stared at the armchair behind the desk for a few seconds, and finally did not go to sit down, but instead stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the city scene in the autumn rain absent-mindedly.

Sometimes——Lu Yan thought to himself, sometimes I really want to ask him why, especially after seeing the photos in the drawer, I really want to ask him why he did what he did, and I really want to talk about it calmly , It's a pity that there is no such opportunity again.

Asking himself, Lu Yan knew very well that Lu Chengrui couldn't afford the role of father in his heart, and he didn't have much emotion, but human beings are very complicated creatures, easily touched by little things, easily denied and affirmed, accepted and recognized.He had never seen with his own eyes the appearance of that man in the late stages of illness, sitting in the study for a long time, but over and over again he imagined in his mind the scene of him sitting in the warm sunshine from winter to spring, looking at the photos alone.

Lu Yan finds it ridiculous, because the things that touch him are all based on imagination, and can never be verified.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Yan came back to his senses, turned around in a hurry and said, "Please come in."

The door was opened in response, Lu Yunhuan walked in and said, "Why don't you say anything if you want to come over, fortunately there are no other arrangements for this afternoon, have you eaten yet?"

"Not hungry yet." Lu Yan said as he glanced at Wang Yuanyuan at the door, motioning her to avoid.

Wang Yuanyuan nodded knowingly, and closed the door for the two of them.

Lu Yan said again: "Second brother is so busy, I'm afraid to disturb you."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, poured two cups of tea himself, and beckoned Lu Yan to come over, "My company should spend some snacks."

Lu Yan sat down next to him, picked up the paper cup and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Lu Yunhuan: "It's okay, I'm not familiar with it, I'm just groping." At this point, he suddenly smiled, with a slight hint of self-deprecating in that smile, and said helplessly, "Speaking of this, Zhang Tianqi has given me a lot of attention." A lot of useful suggestions, I have to say, he does have more experience than us in this regard.”

"Did he mention the follow-up plan?" Lu Yan said.

"I'm not sure if it's because he didn't plan, or he didn't tell me that 'plan'." After speaking, Lu Yunhuan raised his eyes to Lu Yan, "How is the morning? Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, saying: "There is no reason, I just want to talk to her once, and say everything that needs to be said, so that some things can be regarded as the end."

"Don't think about it after this talk," Lu Yunhuan said, "You should forget about her and prepare for the rest of your life."

Lu Yan let out a "hmm" and didn't say much.

Lu Yunhuan took out his phone and returned several messages, and said, "I have something to tell you. Donghuang's new movie will be launched next week, and Xingqi has invited you to attend the opening ceremony. It stands to reason that you don't need to attend at this level. , just let the person in charge of the branch go, but I think it’s because he wants to meet you, so I didn’t push it for the time being, and let you decide.”

Lu Yan was not surprised at all, without thinking too much, he responded directly: "Then go, I just want to go too, after all, it's Jing Lin's movie that started."

"Actually, I can't figure out Zhang Tianqi's thoughts now." Lu Yunhuan said, "He has done a lot of overseas business and is not short of money at all. I also don't feel how much he wants to take down the Lu Group. It is said that the group itself is like a gift, dispensable, because it is impossible to make money after getting it, at best, it is allowed to slowly fall into disrepair.”

"And the relationship between you and him—" Lu Yunhuan looked at Lu Yan and said in a deep voice, "I don't know if you have thought about this level. When your mother died unexpectedly and you were born as an orphan in the hospital, I am afraid it is Zhang Tianqi arranged that orphanage for you..."

"I thought about it," Lu Yan said lightly, "If we can avoid any conflicts, I think I will respect him for this matter."

Lu Yunhuan nodded slowly: "I only found out about this by accident this time. I'm not sure if he has done anything else. I don't know what he thinks of you. Apart from the fact that you are Lu Chengrui's child, There is absolutely no interest relationship between you, so I am not sure whether he will continue to do anything."

Lu Yan: "I think it's better not to be too optimistic. He indirectly saved my life. At most, I owe him a favor. It won't affect him much. It's better to be careful. On the contrary, you—— "Lu Yan frowned, puzzled and said, "I never asked about the relationship between you and him, second brother, now there are only two of us left in the Lu family, no one has the ability to interfere with you, but you still want to Under his control, why on earth?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunhuan was inconspicuously stunned for a few seconds, then smiled as if nothing had happened, "Second brother has his own reasons, so just leave it alone."

"How can I not care?" Lu Yan said, "Don't forget, the reason you helped me in the first place was to get rid of him, didn't you?"

Lu Yunhuan was noncommittal, and Lu Yan said again: "Now my problem is temporarily solved, but yours is not yet. Second brother, if you don't say anything, I don't even know what to do—"

"Yanyan," Lu Yunhuan interrupted him, "You have already helped me."

Lu Yan didn't understand, so: "But..."

Lu Yunhuan said: "If it wasn't for your presence, I would be the only one left in the entire Lu family. In that case, it would be impossible for Zhang Tianqi to stand still." At this point, Lu Yunhuan got up and stood up. Lu Yan didn't give Lu Yan a chance to ask questions, but said, "I have something to do in the afternoon. You can read the reports and sign them, and then let the secretary send them to my office. You are tired today, go back and rest early. .” After speaking, he went straight out.

Lu Yan knew that there was probably no reason for this matter, so he had no choice but to let him go.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the autumn rain that lasted for a day finally stopped, but the sky was still cloudy, and it seemed that it would continue to fall at night.

Lu Yan was sent downstairs to the apartment by the driver and secretary, and Wang Yuanyuan wanted to get off the car to take him upstairs, but Lu Yan politely refused.

This is the house that Gu Jinglin specially prepared for Lu Yan at the beginning of his identity disclosure, and it is also the address that Lu Yan revealed to the outside world.Every time he comes back, he will stay for a symbolic hour or two, then change into low-key clothes and go out, and take public transportation back to Gu Jinglin's apartment.

On rainy days, the roads were heavily flooded, and the traffic in the city center was paralyzed. It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Yan entered the house.

The light was on in the porch, and the prepared slippers were placed on the carpet in the porch. Lu Yan was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a weird and wonderful feeling in his heart. It seemed that the roles they had kept for a long time had switched places. After all He used to stay at home and wait for the other to come back.

Hearing the movement, Lin Lin came forward wagging his tail, and excitedly rubbed against Lu Yan's feet.The puppies grow up very fast. Recently, they basically look the same every day. Lin Lin's lanugo has been completely shed, and now he has grown a whole body of smooth, soft and shiny curly hair. .

Lu Yan changed his slippers and took another anti-allergy medicine, then bent down to pick up the little guy, and walked to the kitchen door while smoothing his hair.

The gas stove was turned on, and a casserole was simmering on it. From time to time, there was the sound of "cuckling" boiling in the pot, and with this boiling, a very fresh aroma gradually wafted from the kitchen.

Lu Yan was shocked. After all, as far as he knew, the one at home should only be able to boil eggs in plain water. How could he use a casserole?Lu Yan held Lin Lin with one hand, and was about to lift the lid of the casserole, but heard someone behind him say: "Be careful, don't burn it."

Lu Yan turned around to look at him, and smiled so much that his eyes rolled up: "You came back quite early, aren't you busy today?"

Gu Jinglin was wearing a shirt and trousers, obviously he had just entered the door not long ago, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes yet.He came over and hugged Lu Yan, lowered his head slightly, and they kissed.

Lin Lin was caught in the middle, squeezed, and let out a dissatisfied "ow".

"I won't be too busy until the filming starts. It's just socializing." Gu Jinglin took a spoon and stirred the seafood porridge in the pot, and said, "You're late today, what's up?"

Lu Yan put Lin Lin down, washed his hands, came over to help put the accessories in, and replied: "I don't need to be busy with the company's affairs, but the traffic jam on the road has delayed it."

"It's too hard for you to make such a toss." Gu Jinglin said.

"It's relatively safe." Lu Yan poured some porridge soup into a small bowl to taste, and when it felt weak, he sprinkled some salt into it to taste, and said, "According to the second brother, it's not suitable for us to live together now. "

"There are too many scruples." Gu Jinglin hugged Lu Yan from behind, and kissed his earlobe sideways, "There must be a day when it will be made public, and you cannot hide for a lifetime."

Hearing this, Lu Yan didn't speak in a hurry, put down the spoon and bowl, turned down the fire, turned around and put his arms around Gu Jinglin's neck, and said sternly: "The artists who come out of the closet internationally are not good at acting, let alone domestically, Jinglin, don't you Think about it again, and think about yourself.”

"Because your priority is me, that's why you say that," Gu Jinglin said, "However, I can only prioritize you, so naturally I can't think about that problem."

Lu Yan was speechless and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Jinglin patted his head and said, "Go take a bath, and come down for dinner later."

Lu Yan hugged and refused to let go, leaned his head up to his ear, and blew softly: "Brother Jinglin, will you let me go alone?"

Gu Jinglin originally wanted to use cooking porridge as an excuse to refuse, but these words came from Lu Yan's mouth with a sense of imagery, making people completely irresistible.Gu Jinglin had no choice but to temporarily turn off the fire, hugged the little guy in his arms who openly seduced him, and went upstairs to take a bath.

At the same time, a villa area in the city center.

Lu Yunhuan stood behind the bar, poured the brewed black tea into a mug, added milk and honey according to the taste of the other party, then walked to the living room, put the cup on the coffee table, and sat down on a separate sofa: " I'm a little busy these days, and I don't have anything else at home, so you can make do with it."

Zhang Tianqi took a sip from his teacup and said, "Just make a list of what you need, and I'll ask someone to deliver it tomorrow."

"No need." Lu Yunhuan said, "It's not good to be seen."

Zhang Tianqi laughed immediately when he heard the words: "You are too cautious, aren't you tired of living like this?"

Lu Yunhuan raised his eyes to look at him, and wrote lightly: "You taught me to be cautious, I dare not forget."

Zhang Tianqi watched his face, and the smile in his eyes deepened unconsciously. He put down his cup and patted the empty seat beside him.Lu Yunhuan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally got up and sat down.

"Is the company going well?" Zhang Tianqi said.

"The integration is almost done, and it will be on the right track in about half a month." After saying this, Lu Yunhuan was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but said, "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet," Zhang Tianqi leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and meditated, "To be honest, Lu Yan surprised me."

Lu Yunhuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Do you know him?"

Zhang Tianqi: "Do you want to hear 'I understand' or 'I don't understand'?"

Lu Yunhuan was shocked, and was about to explain, but Zhang Tianqi said first: "Is it necessary for you to trick me? With me, if you want to know anything, you can ask directly, and I will tell you what I can tell you." You, if you can’t say it, you won’t say it, so you don’t need to be smart with me.”

"Sorry." Lu Yunhuan took a breath and said frankly, "Actually, I watched the video you gave to Yanyan."

Zhang Tianqi gave a flat "hmm": "It's not surprising."

Lu Yunhuan tentatively said: "I guess—you arranged Yanyan's life there in the early days?"

Zhang Tianqi smiled and took the time to say: "I didn't intend to take care of it at first, but then I thought that with Li Shujun's personality, it would be difficult to tolerate that child. I thought it might be useful to keep it in the future, so I made some arrangements by the way."

Lu Yunhuan thought that it was indeed the case, and after thinking for a while, he said: "So you should have been paying attention to the situation of Yanyan all the time, so how could you be surprised?"

"It's not always, I usually ask a few questions when I think about it." Zhang Tianqi said, "According to the feedback I got, Lu Yan should be a withdrawn child with a slight social barrier. He has a cleanliness habit and doesn't adapt to outsiders Contact, those years abroad have been very closed and low-key."

"This kind of person won't be of much use value, and I won't pay much attention to it in the later stage." Zhang Tianqi commented objectively, "After Lu Yan returned to China this time, I was actually surprised by many aspects, especially In the end, the way of sending Li Shujun to prison gave me the feeling that—” He paused, then spoke again, and continued in an uncertain tone, “He seemed to know that he was being used by others, so he avoided all It is possible to leave a point of incriminating evidence, and at the same time maximize the benefits, I have to say, it is really smart."

"Especially the kind of ruthlessness that dares to attack yourself," Zhang Tianqi gave Lu Yunhuan a meaningful look, "This is what you lack."

At first glance, this passage seems to say nothing, but Lu Yunhuan has been around this man for a long time, and he can more or less hear a deeper meaning.He praised Lu Yan as a fake, emphasizing clearly that "he knew he was being used by others".

This sentence was deliberately said to him. Could it be that... he doubted it?

Lu Yunhuan had long noticed that Zhang Tianqi didn't trust him enough, but it wasn't so obvious at that time.In this way, it is very likely that he has already made a plan for the next step, but this plan cannot be told to him, so he used the phrase "I haven't thought about it yet" to deal with the matter.
