The Deepest Color of the Night

The next morning, Gu Yuan sat in the room, stirred the mung bean and lily hangover soup in front of him with a spoon, and took a sip without interest after a while.

It really wasn't Fang Jin's craft.

Last night, General Manager Gu almost completed the achievement of making Assistant Fang cry for the second time. The reason why he almost made Assistant Fang cry was because the browser successfully quit at the last second, and the CG beauty who was flirting with her head finally disappeared from the screen. .But after tossing and tossing for most of the night, Fang Jin no longer had the energy to make sober soup, so he could only take a hot bath and fall asleep in a hurry. In the middle of the night, he finally lived up to expectations and started a fever.

Assistant Fang's physique of running a fever when he gets emotional is no one else.After breakfast, Gu Yuan went to visit Fang Jin's room, only to find that Xiao Yao hadn't left, and was sitting on the bedside with a cup of hot water, with a concerned expression on his face.

...Why did this person who was given medicine and then washed with cold water for half an hour turn out to be fine? Could it be that a fool really doesn't catch a cold?

When Gu Yuan walked into the bedroom, Xiao Yao immediately jumped off the bed as if he had been electrocuted, and said obsequiously, "Gu... Hello, Young Master Gu!"

Gu Yuan's calm gaze swept across his face, and the beautiful boy shivered.

Fang Jin struggled to get up, his snow-white face was burned red, and his voice was completely hoarse: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I can't attend today's negotiations and meetings, you..."

Gu Yuan opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a thermometer, and threw it on the bed.

"..." This scene was so familiar, Fang Jin silently put the thermometer in his mouth, and the room was silent.

Gu Yuan folded his hands on his chest, condescendingly waited by the bedside to check the temperature.The hangover hardly affected him in any way. The handmade shirts and custom-made suits were always neat, and a real gold and silver ruby ​​tie clip was fastened on the black patterned tie. The hidden and mellow men's perfume smell came from the collar and cuffs, lining His expressionless face and sharp eyes forced people to dare not say a word.

A few minutes later, Fang Jin took out the mercury thermometer from his mouth, Gu Yuan reached out to take it, and squinted his eyes to look at the light for a while.

38 degrees five, fortunately not enough to send to the hospital.

"...Since you have a fever, take a good rest." Gu Yuan put down the thermometer and said, "Stop playing games and being distracted."

Fang Jin's face was so red that it was almost on fire: "I—"

Gu Yuan didn't give him a chance to speak. He turned his head and raised his chin in Xiao Yao's direction, which seemed to be a threat or a warning, and then interrupted Fang Jin: "I'm going to the company, you should hurry up and come to work." .”

Xiao Yao subconsciously took half a step back, Fang Jin quickly said yes.

General manager Gu was like a king who had finished his tour of the territory, and then got up and left.

·

"...How could Young Master Gu be so mean!" The door clicked shut, and Xiao Yao couldn't help but explode immediately: "You've burned like this, and he's still waiting to see the temperature! Do you suspect that you are being lazy and pretending to be sick?" ?!"

"He just wanted to know the temperature."

"And tell you to go back to work immediately!" Xiao Yao said angrily, "What's wrong with the rich, are the rich amazing? Can you bully me because you have a good temper?"

Fang Jinxin said that Gu Yuan has such a temper, and he can't be blamed, but you can't talk but you have a brain problem, so you shouldn't lose it, but how can you get involved in the entertainment industry? Is it really just based on your face...

He sighed, looking at Xiao Yaoqing's sincere expression of fighting for injustice, he really couldn't say this, and finally he could only say: "From now on...be careful what you say."

Xiao Yao glanced at him, his cheeks turned red for some reason: "I'm just worried about you!"

He lay on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, when Fang Jin was thinking of a way to call his agent to pick up the child, suddenly Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly remembered something: "—— By the way, Assistant Fang, let me tell you, our group recently made its first album, and I'll show it to you!"

He stomped to the entrance to get a backpack he brought over last night, took out a CD and held it over.Fang Jin couldn't help being curious, she poked her head around and saw the beautiful words "New Popular Idol Group" and "Super Popular Boys" printed on the cover, below are some portraits of Han Fan teenagers, Xiao Yao is in the middle - this kid It is true that the face can bluff people, and there is a large high-definition picture of the side on the inside page, the eyelashes are long and slender.

"The agent said that it's not time to release it yet, and told us to wait." Xiao Yao said with full of expectation: "Then who and who are the first albums are big hits, although the later data has been mixed, but How great it is to be well-known at the beginning. After the official release, there will be rankings, publicity, and tours around the country. The agent said that if the response is good, let us participate in the reality singer audition..."

Fang Jin smiled and said, "That's a good thing, don't forget to sign me after you become famous."

With such a simple sentence, Xiao Yao's face turned red, and he mumbled, "Well...are you tired? Let me find you an earphone to listen to?"

Fang Jin was about to say, why don't you contact the manager to pick you up, when suddenly his cell phone on the bedside rang—it was an unknown number.

Fang Jin's face changed slightly, he got up quickly, grabbed his phone and got out of bed.

"Hey..." Xiao Yao said in amazement, but before he could catch up two steps, he saw Fang Jin strode into the enclosed hotel balcony, and while turning back to close the floor-to-ceiling glass door, he put a finger on his lips at the same time. He made a silent gesture.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to really catch up, but Fang Jin turned around, leaving only a back view, and connected the phone at the same time.

Fang Jin stood barefoot on the ground of the hotel balcony, and said cautiously: "Hello, Mr. Gu."

This "Mr. Gu" is completely different from his tone when he faced Gu Yuan - if Gu Yuan is a young male wolf who has just matured, and his ferocious fangs and claws make people afraid to approach, then Gu Mingzong is The overlord who has already incorporated the entire jungle into his territory looks lazy and calm on the surface, but only when he stands up, people can see the bloody bones behind him.

There was the sound of breathing from the phone, soft and familiar amidst the sound of electric current.

The fear and heart palpitations that had settled down bit by bit in the shadows for many years hit him head-on again, Fang Jin unconsciously clenched the phone tightly, his nails turned blue and white.

At the same time, in the spacious office on the top floor of the building, Gu Mingzong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and handed the mobile phone to the head of the security department behind him, beckoning him to take it and talk.

"Hello, Assistant Fang."

As if the heart that was suspended in the air fell back heavily into the chest, Fang Jin almost let out a breath in an instant: "... Hello."

"Mr. Gu asked me to tell you." The voice of the security director over there was steady and respectful, without any abnormality: "The tenant of the Jinrui Hotel last night was the owner of XX Investment Company, and there was no problem with it. This morning Mr. Gu has told us to take care of the matter. I'll just tell you, don't worry. "

"...Thank you," Fang Jin tried his best to speak calmly and naturally, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

The other side hung up the phone.

Fang Jin stood on the balcony, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he grasped the handrails to stabilize his body.

Gu Mingzong has already solved it.

How did you solve it?He didn't ask.

From a long time ago, he learned not to ask anything - the secrets he saw with his own eyes were enough for Gu Mingzong to kill him a hundred times, and he really didn't need to know more.

No one can know the inside story more clearly, more truthfully, and more cruelly than he.Even the two biological sons of the Gu family did not have the opportunity to witness those bloody history up close like him.

When Fang Jin was first sold in, the Gu family was still in the most turbulent and dangerous stage of going from black to white, and Gu Mingzong only kept him as a pet to relieve boredom in his spare time. Who needs to hide anything from kittens and puppies?Some things are bumped into and bumped into.Later, Fang Jin grew up, and Gu Mingzong felt that he had the potential to be an assistant and deputy. Not only did he not hide some methods, but he would teach them semi-mandatoryly.

When he was a teenager, Fang Jin didn't understand, he just felt shy and fearful, but he didn't have the ability to leave the giant Gu family.Later, he was sent to Germany to study, and once he rode a bicycle alone to travel in the countryside, looking at the vast sky and empty fields, he suddenly had the idea of ​​running away again—although he had thought about it before, but it was the first time in his life To carry it out, he himself didn't know where he mustered up the courage.

He hurriedly packed up his money and documents, threw away his mobile phone card, and left Heidelberg by train without even taking a change of clothes.After aimlessly changing trains, he arrives in a secluded rural town, rents a house with stolen documents and cash, and starts working illegally at fast food restaurants for cash, trying to wait out the limelight before sneaking out. Dive back home.

In the first few nights, he moved the sofa to the door of the room to block it, and slept on the sofa at night, almost with his eyes open.He knew all kinds of methods of Gu Mingzong too well, even a gust of wind blowing across the window sill, or a cat jumping over the roof could make him jump up in an instant, and then lay his hands on his back until dawn.

However, the next half month was uneventful. He checked the newspaper and the police website every day, but did not see any news about the search for the missing international students.

When he finally felt that the Gu family couldn't notice that his little fish had slipped away for a while, one night, he finally couldn't resist the exhaustion of worrying and fearing for days, curled up on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.When he woke up the next morning, he found that he was back in Heidelberg, lying on the bed in the usual apartment, and changed into pajamas. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when he left half a month ago.

He looked back at the clock subconsciously, and instantly felt that the blood all over his body was cold.

——In the corner of the room, the clock had already stopped.

Stop at the moment he left the house half a month ago.

Gu Mingzong's silent warning did not deter Fang Jin for too long. In other words, this timid and easily frightened child, after tasting the taste of rebellion, suddenly developed infinite courage to fight.

He quickly planned his second escape, this time more carefully and properly. From the beginning, he used the fake documents prepared in advance, and used certain methods to falsify the entry and exit records of the apartment key card half a month in advance.He left during the school class, and everyone thought he was just going to the bathroom. A few hours later, he appeared in a border town near the Czech Republic on the other side of Germany, took off his sunglasses and walked out of the platform.

This time he didn't even work. He only used cash to live in a small cheap hotel that didn't require registration. He slept in a Datong bunk with eight beds in one room. He didn't use the Internet or go out every day.This time he persisted for nearly a month. He thought that any risk would be minimized when there were people around 24 hours a day. However, when he woke up one morning, he found that he was back in Heidelberg. in the apartment.

Unknowingly, the 20-odd days he left was like a dream, and the clock in the corner of the room stopped again at the moment he left.

Afterwards, Fang Jin left several times in a row, all with the same ending.

In the end, his mental pressure was already very high. He knew that Gu Mingzong's patience would run out one day, but he could not and was not willing to stop; It becomes the last one, and if you lose again after that, the whole line will collapse, and the next step is the abyss where you will be smashed to pieces.

Those who have opposed Gu Mingzong for so many years, disappeared silently with no bones left, or are still living in a dark corner of the world, each of them may become his end tomorrow.

However, Fang Jin's struggle like a trapped animal did not last long.The last time he escaped was in the middle of the night. He fell asleep on a bus in the Czech countryside. When he woke up, he saw darkness outside the window and a silent and pale light in the carriage. Gu Mingzong was sitting on the chair opposite him reading a book.

Fang Jin knew that he had lost his last chip.He sat up and leaned against the cold back of the chair without saying a word.

"Why?" Gu Mingzong asked.

Fang Jin was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't want to die."

It may be ridiculous for outsiders to hear: Gu Mingzong raised him and sent him to school. He has never been treated harshly for so many years, and he didn't even ask him to die for his eldest son when his life was dying-to this day, he still has to worry about it. ?

However, Fang Jin knew that the knife hanging above his head had not been removed.

He is still a little scapegoat bought by the Gu family. He escaped once and twice, but it does not mean that he will escape every time in the future; Next time, God knows who Gu Mingzong will choose?

In such a civilized society, such a luxurious upper class, his life is nothing more than a commodity in the hands of the superior.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingzong was not angry, he didn't even look surprised: "You are right, no one wants to die."

He closed the book, stared at Fang Jin with deep eyes, and said, "—let's make a deal."

Fang Jin looked back at him warily.

"As my lover, I will ensure that you live safely, and no one can touch your hair; if I die, you can inherit part of my private property and leave the Gu family immediately. I will arrange a hidden place for you in advance. "

"During this period, you are completely free, and your scope of activities is not subject to any restrictions. It doesn't matter if you want to live in Germany forever; any danger to Gu Yuan will be borne by him. If you don't want to, you don't even have to donate a drop of blood."

"How?" Gu Mingzong asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Fang Jin's ears were buzzing, his mind went blank for a few minutes, and his heart seemed to be beating and squeezing his throat.

"What if... what if I don't agree?"

Gu Mingzong looked at him and pointed out the window.

Fang Jin turned to the car window, and through the deep night, he finally saw a lot of people around the bus, all dressed in black, standing upright and silent - he recognized Gu Mingzong's private security team, The Gu family did not cleanse this group of people when they were black and white, many of them were once desperadoes recruited from mercenaries.

"Fang Jin," Gu Mingzong said, "if I take you away from this place now and bring you back home, you will never see the sun for the rest of your life, and you will never see the sun again until the moment you die. , I can do it completely; but I will give you a chance tonight, you can choose your own future life, although the negative answer may cause you to not be able to use the word 'life' to refer to the rest of your future time. "

The other party pointed to his watch and said, "You have 1 minute to think carefully, and then tell me the answer."

Fang Jin sat there motionless, his whole body seemed to be completely submerged in ice water, and the dark and cold fear silently permeated through the cracks in his bones.

However, Gu Mingzong sat opposite him, his expression did not have the slightest sense of persecution, and his eyes were even very peaceful.

There was silence in the carriage, the lights reflecting off the dusty floor and old seats and reflecting pale light off the rows of metal railings.The darkness outside the car window was thick and boundless, and on the farther plain, there were a few faint searchlights flickering in the night.

"But..." Fang Jin said hoarsely: "But if in the future, I regret it..."

In fact, Fang Jin at this time couldn't tell why he regretted it.He has lived in fear of dying at any time since he was a child. How to survive is a problem that is clearly in front of him every day when he wakes up. Those sweetness and sentimentality of spring flowers, autumn moons, and first love are all insulated from him, which is simply incomprehensible.

But he is indeed a young child. At this age, it would be a lie to say that he does not have any good expectations for the future.

Choosing to obey can indeed solve the current life-threatening dilemma, but he also vaguely knows that if he really agrees, he may regret it very much one day in the future.

"Yes, you are still young after all."

Gu Mingzong sighed inaudibly, and there seemed to be a little regret in his voice: "Well, if you regret it one day in the future, we can sit down and negotiate this deal again...but there is only one chance, Fang Jin, Grasp it well, and use it on the day you really regret it."

Fang Jin remained silent for a long time, his face was bloodless under the pale light, his eyelashes drooping down on the side of his nose, leaving deep shadows.

"...I promise you," he said finally.

The voice seemed to have dissipated into the air as soon as it came out, and it seemed to have turned into invisible chains, binding everything tightly in the deepest night from the void.

Gu Mingzong stood up, then lowered his head and pressed a kiss between Fang Jin's eyebrows, and threw the book to him just now: "I'll give it to you."

It turned out to be a collection of Yeats' poems.

Gu Mingzong put one hand in his trouser pocket and strode out of the car.After a while, a bodyguard stepped into the car, bowed beside Fang Jin, and said politely, "It's time to go—please."

Fang Jin's nails sank deep into the flesh of his fingertips, and he got up silently after a while, and followed the bodyguards off the bus that was parked alone at the platform on the late-night highway.

On the way back to Heidelberg that day, he opened the collection of poems, probably due to frequent reading, and directly opened the most worn page, Yeats' famous "APrayer for My Daughter".

His indifferent gaze went down line by line, the hardcover coated paper pages were smooth and flat, until there were slight fingerprints under the middle line of words, which should be scratches from nails when reading: Incourtesy I'dhave her chiefly learned; Heartsarenothadasagiftbutheartsareearned...

Hearts and hearts can only be won by winning, not by giving.

Fang Jin closed her eyes, closed the book and gently threw it aside.

The dim street lights beside him passed away quickly, and the convoy drove along the road to Dresden, the border of Germany, and soon melted into the night of the same color.

Chapter 12 She only saw the young man leaning in the armchair, his face was as calm and cold as a white jade carving, without a trace of emotion

Gu Yuan sat in the office for a while, the new female assistant graciously brought coffee and put it gently on his hand.

Gu Yuan stared at the computer screen without even turning the corner of his eyes, picked up his coffee and took a sip.The next second, he pulled out a tissue, spit out the small mouthful of coffee on it, and then casually rolled up the tissue and threw it into the coffee cup.

Female assistant: "..."

The little girl almost froze with fright, and after standing there for a while, she walked away holding the coffee together.

The new female assistant graduated from a prestigious school with a master's degree. She was actually a bit aggrieved when she applied for the lowest assistant position, but she worked hard to impress her after she joined the job.Unexpectedly, after working for half a month, the boss can't get a good face. He is not right about this and that is wrong at every turn, even pouring a cup of coffee can cause problems.

In her eyes, the boss who came from a wealthy family and is handsome and rich has transformed from a hero in an idol drama to a male devil wearing Armani. If it weren't for the fact that it's hard to find a job these days, she really wanted to rush into the office and write a letter of resignation. Gu Yuan has a face.

The female assistant stood helplessly in the tea room, staring at the cup of coffee with napkin balls floating in front of her, almost crying in embarrassment.Just when she wanted to go to the personnel department to ask for sick leave without doing anything, suddenly a voice came from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

The little girl looked back: "Assistant Fang!"

Fang Jin was wearing a white shirt and a black suit with a slightly loose neckline and no tie. His face was slightly pale after recovering from a serious illness. His eyes moved to the steaming cup of coffee: "...skimmed milk?"

"Yeah!"

"A quarter of sugar?"

"Yes!"

"50% caffeine-fortified?"

"That's right!"

Fang Jin sighed and said, "You can do it again and show me."

The female assistant sniffled, skillfully turned on the imported coffee machine in the pantry, heated and whipped milk, and soon made a cup of mellow and rich espresso latte.Fang Jin leaned against the door of the tea room and watched the whole process, and waved his hand to reject the little girl's invitation to taste, saying, "The milk foam is thin and not thick enough, it needs to be five millimeters thicker."

The female assistant was dumbfounded.

Fang Jin said helplessly, "Forget it, give it to me."

He walked to the office, took off his coat and put down his briefcase, with a stack of documents in his left hand and a coffee cup in his right, and then turned to the office of the general manager next door.Gu Yuan still maintained the posture of sitting in front of the computer, and when he saw him coming in, he only raised his head: "——Didn't you ask for sick leave these two days?"

"Feeling better today."

Fang Jin said and put down the coffee, Gu Yuan picked it up and took a sip, then took the document he handed over and flipped through it for a while, drank most of the cup of coffee as he was used to it, and then praised: "Thank you for coming Otherwise, I won’t even be able to drink something hot.”

Fang Jin: "..."

The female assistant hiding outside and peeping: "..."

The corner of Fang Jin's mouth twitched slightly, saying to himself, boss, you really have double standards, and you are not afraid of being sued for discrimination in the workplace.

However, in Gu Yuan's eyes, the important point is not the coffee, but the person knocking on the door with the coffee.Yesterday, Fang Jin had a fever and asked for sick leave. Gu Yuan had a sudden inspiration in the morning but no one could understand it. He needed a financial professional German interpreter for the morning meeting. The deputy has the courage and cooperation to pass the word, beat the side drum, and assist him in winning the profits of tens of millions of dollars. He works overtime at night and wants someone to accompany him and cooperate with him... The assistant in the office next door But did not come to work.

Mr. Gu's body pressure was extremely low after get off work. Although when he walked out of the company, he was always calm, indifferent and personable, but everyone felt that the air around him could burst into a thousand hectares of thunder at any time. The whole building was reduced to ashes.

So compared to yesterday, what does it matter if the milk foam is five millimeters thinner today?

Gu Yuan put down the document, turned the leather armchair 45 degrees, and looked at Fang Jin calmly: "By the way, there is something I haven't had time to tell you. About the day before yesterday when you were a hero who saved the beauty in the hotel and was almost rescued." The thing about Meiqiang's love..."

Fang Jin blushed, and was about to explain, but Gu Yuan interrupted teasingly: "The client who was beaten up by you is the boss of a listed investment company in this city. Afterwards, he asked the hotel to watch the video to find out Who beat him."

Fang Jin's complexion changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered that Gu Mingzong had solved this matter, and he probably asked his security supervisor to come forward, but since there is an action, it will inevitably leave traces.

That hotel has a closer business relationship with Gu Yuan, and the relationship is also closer. If Gu Yuan inquires with the hotel afterwards, will he find any clues of Gu Mingzong's meddling? !

"The person in charge of the hotel had watched the video beforehand, and recognized that it was you, Assistant Fang, who was the hero who saved the beauty, so he sent someone to notify Gu's family, and at the same time replied to the boss saying that the security video of the hotel's presidential suite cannot be shown to any guest casually, and must have been through a formal channel. Please ask the police to intervene. The boss was afraid that his prostitution would be exposed, so he signed a non-disclosure agreement with the hotel after arguing, and then died down."

Gu Yuan leaned on the back of the wide chair, crossed his long legs, and said casually: "I never expected that I would meet such a knowledgeable hotel manager and solve the matter by myself—good luck Assistant Fang?"

Fang Jin understood him. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

It is a sharp gaze that can penetrate your skin and bones and see into your brain.

"..." Fang Jin hesitated, "President Gu, about this..."

"There is only one thing that I find strange," Gu Yuan interrupted him, with a long and meaningful ending: "Tell me, after finding out it was you, why didn't the hotel come to inform your boss me, but skip me and go directly to Did you notify the Gu family?"

Sweat dripped down Fang Jin's back.

He met Gu Yuan's gaze, and for a moment felt that he was almost ripped apart, all the filth and embarrassment that had been carefully hidden all this time were spread out in broad daylight, exposed to this man who looked down on him from a height.

He even had a thought that was absurd to himself in an instant: Did he find out?

No, it's impossible, it's only one day—

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu," Fang Jin forced himself to meet Gu Yuan's eyes, and his voice sounded as steady as usual: "This matter is my fault, so that night, in order not to cause trouble for you, I contacted me first. The personal connections accumulated in the Gu family in the past..."

He paused, although the speed of his speech was very slow, each word went through countless circles in his brain before he uttered it.

"Wang Yu, the security director of the group head office, has dealt with me on business before. After I came here to serve as your assistant, I still kept in touch with my former colleagues. So I immediately asked him to help investigate after the accident the night before yesterday. The identity of the tenant, he should have greeted the hotel the next day..."

Gu Yuan narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and after a while he said "Oh?"

"...I know that it's taboo to be close to the people there when I'm working for you, so I haven't dared to tell you. But the night before yesterday was indeed my impulsive fault, and I was afraid that I would hurt you later I secretly asked my former colleagues for help." Fang Jin took a breath, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely pay attention next time, and I won't make this kind of mistake again."

The two of them stood and sat one at a time, no more than one meter apart.The office was so quiet that even the breathing of the other party could be clearly heard.

Gu Yuan was playing with a pen, looking a little absent-minded.

"Almost as I thought," he finally said after a long while.

Fang Jin's tense shoulder muscles relaxed slightly.

"But that's not what I want to talk about." Gu Yuan lazily said: "You are my assistant, not to mention whether you will return to the head office in the future, at least you are my person in name now; My name, you must tell me after the aftermath, don't ask others."

He shook his head mockingly: "Although your act of saving the child is meaningless and very ridiculous, people always make mistakes, and once in a while it's understandable—it's just that after making a mistake, you hide it from me and go to someone else, then It's very absurd. I'm your boss, and it's only natural to ask me when something happens. You have to keep this in mind, understand?"

Fang Jin stared at Gu Yuan in a daze, and it took a long time before he gradually realized what his words meant.

"Gu...Mr. Gu..."

Gu Yuan finally moved his eyes from the pen to his face, and said impatiently: "I'll just say that! The main reason is that if you ask others for such a trivial matter, I will be ashamed as a boss, you know?"

All Fang Jin's senses were overwhelmed by an indescribable joy, which was even more surprising and intense than when Gu Yuan said to him in the cemetery, "I don't want to see you get hurt".

——Come to me when something happens.

Don't ask others.

This promise was completely unexpected for the other party, like a crown that fell from the sky, and it fell on his head among thousands of people-although he was just a clown who was destined not to wear the crown, but The surprise that was caught off guard at that moment, and the happiness that he could have for a short time, still hit the softest part of his heart hard.

"I understand..." he said softly, his voice was cautiously soft: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, I... I understand, I will definitely not do it again next time..."

"Don't cry again!" Gu Yuan immediately warned in advance: "I know you will have a fever when you cry, Assistant Fang! Your sick leave for this year is over!"

Fang Jin blinked, and Gu Yuan stared at his eyelashes that were extraordinarily slender because of this movement, and waved his hand annoyedly: "Okay, let's go back to work, I have accumulated more than 20 things to wait for yesterday. You go and deal with it, and come find me later!"

·

Fang Jin returned to his desk, and through the inner window, he saw that Gu Yuan had turned his seat back to the computer, and his full attention seemed to have returned to his work.

Fang Jin opened the notebook in front of him, but stared at him blankly out of the corner of his eye.

Why give me this kind of promise, why do you treat me so well?

I have nothing to give you in return.

Fang Jin withdrew his gaze, looked at the black computer screen in front of him, and saw his dazed face from the reflection.He tried to recall the people who had been kind to him in this life, but only the well-trained servants of the Gu family, the cold and silent bodyguards, the company management with different expressions... and Gu Mingzong who always had a hard time seeing what Emotional, moody face.

Looking back, there is only the house that collapsed in the fire, and his parents were inside.

If it has nothing to do with the Gu family, Fang Jin suddenly had this thought in his head——

If he had nothing to do with Gu Mingzong, maybe he could be Gu Yuan's most trusted and relied on subordinate for the rest of his life, and Gu Yuan's goodwill and promise would continue, ten or twenty years, or even forever.

Even if Gu Yuan gets married in the future and has a family full of children and grandchildren, at least he will always have a place in the position of his subordinates.

Imagine sitting next to Gu Yuan’s office 20 years later, seeing his handsome and familiar face just by looking up, breathing the air in this square inch with him every day, and enjoying the "come to me directly when you encounter problems" "The right... Fang Jin's heart lightened as if it was full of energy.

If you can completely break away from the Gu family...

If the deal with Gu Mingzong is buried under the water forever...

Fang Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. As long as this embarrassing secret survives, it will always be exposed one day.He must calm down and wait patiently for the opportunity to completely separate all the unbearable past events from his soul before they are exposed to the light of day.

You can always find a way, Fang Jin - he thought so.

You have struggled with every hand and foot in this world until now, and you have come out of so many predicaments, you must be able to find a way to continue walking.

There will always be a way.

Fang Jin opened his eyes, and exhaled the breath slowly and completely from his lungs.

At this moment, the mobile phone on his desk turned on. Fang Jin picked it up and saw a new text message on the screen, which was the number of Wang Yu, the head of the security department of the head office: "Assistant Fang, Mr. Gu asked me to notify you Come to XX Hotel at seven o'clock in the evening."

"We found the person who assassinated you back then."

·

At seven o'clock, Fang Jin was standing in the splendid lobby of the hotel. The lady at the front desk made a phone call and bowed politely: "No problem, Mr. Fang, please wait a moment."

This hotel, which claims to have six-star facilities, is one of the properties that Gu Mingzong invested in and served as a director of. The purpose of investing in it back then was to launder money. Therefore, the unreasonably high price of the hotel made it luxurious and expensive.However, because of this, in recent years, the hotel has gradually become one of the communication centers of the local high society. Gu Mingzong saw its huge social potential, and instead of withdrawing it, he invested more to keep it in the territory of his business empire. Inside.
