Love cards don't work for me.

in business.

For a moment, only these two sentences came to my mind. Gu Anning's words made me feel ironic, obviously he was the one who kept me at arm's length, and now he's talking about friendship, isn't it too much?However, looking at the other person's face that once touched my heart, I couldn't bear to say it so bluntly, "The status of a friend." I slowed down a bit, "Antonio, what are you referring to?"

He stirred the coffee with a coffee spoon, and took a sip with a nice gesture, "William, maybe there was a little misunderstanding between us when we didn't know you at first, but after getting along with you for a while, your image in my heart has changed It has changed. In my memory, you have always been a gentle, mature, and tolerant man. You are funny, know a lot, never hesitate to give advice, and are delicate and good at sharing. I am very grateful that you provided me in New York. You helped me a lot, and later in Boston, you helped me a lot, and I think we're friends now."

"I'm sorry that I alienated you rashly because I listened to my friend's words. After knowing that you are Lin Yueze, I thought you used a different method to play with me and retaliate against my cold attitude towards you. So I got angry and didn't respond to your contact , I don’t answer your calls, I don’t read your text messages. But after you disappeared and stopped contacting me, I knew it was not like this. You didn’t want to play with me, but you really cared about me, but at that time I Even if I knew the truth, I was ashamed to put down my self-esteem and come to you. I didn’t realize it until I saw so many men in black wandering around your house and heard the news that you were attacked. Now that I still care about you, some things will not pass over time, like in New York at the beginning, you suddenly appeared there, spent Christmas with me, took me to play, I am really very happy, this matter I don't think I'll ever forget."

"William, I hope we are still friends. I also hope that you have no barriers against me. I am begging you as a friend. It's not that I don't want to do what you said, but that I don't have so many rights. , if you can show me some understanding, I will be very grateful for your help."

Gu Anning's expression is sincere, his tone is sincere, I can feel that he is not lying, he really thinks so in his heart.

But I didn't answer right away.

I felt a little emotional for a moment.If I had heard Gu Anning say this in the past, I would have been elated and dizzy, and I would have agreed to him without even thinking about it.It is the best thing for the other party to be friends with me. We will get to know each other and understand each other, and maybe we can have a better relationship in the future... I definitely thought so in the past.But now, even if the other party lowers his posture and talks to me sincerely like this, I don't feel at all in a charming mood. I just feel that it is a pity. Gu Anning is a good person, and it must be very comfortable to be friends with him. He said that I am gentle Mature and tolerant, he himself is considerate and generous, but certain things can no longer happen between us.

Is this because I am mature, or is my nature more and more inclined to be an egoistic businessman?

At this moment, Brandon, who had been sitting next to me and hadn't spoken a word, just watched the negotiation between me and Gu Anning, suddenly spoke.

His tone was slightly mocking, "I'm sorry, please let me interject. The person Mr. Gu mentioned is probably not the same as the Mr. Field I know."

These words broke the silence of the room, made Gu Anning's face change, and made me quickly escape from the memories.

He glanced at me coolly, and Brandon said, "Mr. Field I know has a bad temper, a bad personality, and he likes to think wildly. Every time he has an idea, he rushes to find someone to realize it, regardless of whether the other party can do it or not." I realized that he has very strict requirements on people. If he can’t do it, he will leave. There is no room for discussion. Except for the old employees at the beginning, few people can make him feel irreplaceable. To be honest, he is such a willful and poor boss , will squeeze employees extremely, and use rhetoric to ask people to work for him, a typical capitalist style."

Me: "..." There is a lot of resentment.

"However, Mr. Field is smart, he has a quick brain, and it is true that his vision is very accurate." Brandon didn't look at my expression, but continued, this time his tone was more formal, "everything he does It has been correct so far, and every request is very reasonable, within the range that others can bear. In fact, Mr. Field doesn't like to be fooled, especially by someone who thinks he can be fooled. Mr. Gu , I don’t know what your purpose is, but Mr. Field is a businessman, WF is an enterprise, we pursue profit, pursue money, maybe you think we are greedy, but I have to say, our employees have to eat, and the company has to survive , Greed is necessary, in the business world, no one is a good person who doesn't care about giving."

Gu Anning's face was not very good-looking already, but now Brandon's words made him feel even more embarrassed, he ignored Brandon's words, but looked up at me, "Lin Yueze, do you remember how you treated me before? Say, whatever I ask you to do, you will do it for me."

This is a sentence I said to him before I left Huaguo. At that time, I said that I could do anything for him, but Gu Anning's expression was not serious at that time. He felt that I had nothing to help him. , Because of my background and status, I even took this sentence as a joke.Although his upbringing made him disdain to express anything to me at that time, I could clearly feel his impatience and disgust.

I frowned, "Antonio. That's..." past tense.

Brandon interrupted me sarcastically, "Mr. Field really said that?" He lightly curled his index finger and tapped on the table, signaling me to shut up with his eyes, "I think he must have been His mind is not clear, Mr. Field is like this sometimes, he doesn't like to speak his mind, and he is impulsive and impatient, or does Mr. Gu think that the promise made a few years ago can still be counted now?"

Gu Anning finally looked at him this time, "Mr. Winston, you don't know we went there, please don't comment casually on the matter between me and him."

"Actually, I know everything that happened between you and Mr. Field, but it has nothing to do with our negotiation." Brandon said sharply, "Not only do I know about you, I also know that he never said he had you as a friend , I heard the name of Mr. Alfonso, the name of Mr. Tiffany, and even the name of Mr. Eduardo Saverin who only met him a few times. But I didn’t hear that Mr. Gu, you are also in his friend list , let alone now, as we sit here for this negotiation, is it too late to say friend?"

Gu Anning became angry, "So let's forget about the things he provoked me? He caused me to leave my hometown and come to New York alone, and then he treated me so well and pretended to care about me. He lied to me. Me, did you just take it with me?" He suddenly became emotional, and blurted out, "When you like it, you can please it in every possible way. If you don't like it, you can leave it aside and ignore it. Whoever gave him the right to do this is what he owes me!"

A silence.

Brandon and I were momentarily stunned by Gu Anning's outburst of emotion.

An emotion that is difficult to describe in words reverberated in my heart, a little unbelievable, and a little lost, I couldn't help but look at Gu Anning's expression at the moment, what do I owe him?So is this what the other party thinks in his heart?

Gu Anning's face was pale, and she felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she clenched her lips and did not continue speaking.

Brandon suddenly said coldly, "He doesn't owe you anything, Mr. Gu."

Pausing for a moment, letting the other person's eyes return to him, Brandon continued, "I heard from Mr. Lin Yuejun that William was sent to the United States because your parents wanted to throw him into a mental hospital. , I don't understand what kind of hatred can send a healthy person to a mental hospital. Are you still in England in the seventeenth century and think gays should be hanged? Ask him what he did, he just pursued you. You You can beat him, scold him, and let him go. But you can't restrict a person's most basic freedom."

"It became clearer after that. William didn't like being guarded by his family in a foreign country. It was his freedom to leave by himself. His loss of contact caused a series of consequences and implicated you. It can only be said that the world is impermanent. And you said he cheated you It is an absolutely rude accusation. Mr. Gu, as Mr. Bennett’s nephew, William treated you warmly as a landlord. He didn’t disclose his identity because he didn’t want his partners to have any quarrels. There is nothing wrong with thinking like this. "

Although Brandon's voice is low, it is very clear and powerful. His calm narration is neither angry nor sharp, as if it should be the case. I was a little sad because of Gu Anning's words, but now I feel a little relieved. When Brandon speaks for me like this, it probably doesn't matter how many accusations he makes, because even if I really did something wrong, there must be nothing wrong in his eyes.

Gu Anning kept silent.

Brandon stood up and patted his collar calmly. "Okay. I've said all I wanted to say, and you can take care of the rest. Please forgive me for leaving, William." He called my name suddenly, and then bent down and kissed my lips when I looked up. , "I'll wait for you outside."

I couldn't help but kiss back hard.

Brandon accepted calmly.

Gu Anning's eyes widened in surprise.

"Okay." I let go of him and shook his hand, "See you later."

"See you later," Brandon said.

It was not until Brandon left that Gu Anning finally recovered from the shock. He spoke again, "Who is this Mr. Winston?"

"He is my lover." Until now, I found that I was able to say this sentence to Gu Anning calmly, as if everything that happened just now was just an episode, and I don't need to pay attention.The corners of my mouth couldn't help but bend. "It's a little chili. Right." Grumpy, but I still like it.

Gu Anning smiled bitterly in embarrassment, "I didn't expect... I'm really sorry, those words I said are too inappropriate for the occasion."

"It's okay. Like he said, he knows everything about me and he won't mind what you say." I said to him, "But you're right, Antonio, I owe you an apology. You apologize."

"I just made a slip of the tongue, I didn't think so..."

"It's all the same to me." I said, because it was indeed my fault. I also felt guilty after knowing the truth about Gu Anning's coming to New York, and I have been working hard to make up for it.In fact, I was not completely unintentional towards him at that time, but I finally decided to give up this relationship.

"But I still can't promise you."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Gu Anning's eyes.

"I think it's better for us not to be friends, especially since I have a lover. I don't want him to feel that I have old feelings for you or any other feelings. Please forgive me, I just did what I should do when facing my collaborators. With some attitudes, business is the best distance for us, not to mention, there are no friends in the mall."

A few minutes later, I found Brandon next to a fountain in the square. He had bought a baguette on the way out of the café and was crumbling the grains to feed the pigeons.I approached him from behind, ignoring other people's gazes, and stretched out my arms to hold him squarely.

Brandon didn't resist, he looked back at me, and continued to throw bread with his hands. A large group of pigeons roared and landed in front of him, competing for the bread grains in front of him. "Ten minutes." He only said one sentence.

"What 10 minutes?" I kissed him lightly on the side of his neck.

"You continue to chat with your old lover, I'm thinking, if you haven't come out of the coffee shop for more than 10 minutes, you will sleep with Jude Law tonight."

I couldn't help laughing. "Don't be jealous baby, I'm not rolling here at a high speed, can I sleep next to you tonight?"

Brandon snorted, "It depends on your performance." He said, and then paused, "Does Mr. Gu agree to your request?"

"What else can he do but agree?" I said. "Don't worry, I know how to measure, and I won't make it too difficult for him."

"Is the emotion card useless to you?"

"Emotion card? I'm sorry, I remember someone saying that I'm an evil capitalist."

Brandon finally laughed, and he pushed me, "Go away, don't hug me so tightly, don't you see someone laughing at us?"

I turned my head, and sure enough, a few female college students passing by were looking at us with a smile. Seeing my gaze sweeping over, they quickly gave me a thumbs up, then hugged each other happily and ran away with a smile. I shamelessly looked away , "It's obviously encouraging us."

"Anyway, you have a reason." Brandon loosened his shoulders and let me go.

We spent an afternoon feeding the pigeons at BU, then went to a wonderful dinner on the Charles River, and Brandon didn't comment on the afternoon, in fact, he didn't until bedtime at night Speaking of this incident, I think he may not mind my past.

However, the next morning, I suddenly saw an extra glass of milk for breakfast on the table.

Me: "!!!!" whatthefuck!

I hate milk!

The author has something to say:

PS: This is the No.1 article, so what Gu Anning thinks in his heart will not be covered in this article. Maybe he thinks that the person who admired him suddenly disappeared and was snatched away. He felt very sad Maybe he thought he and William could be friends, but William said to him, we can't be friends, we just need to be collaborators, he feels very disappointed, and there is another possibility, he doesn't know that he likes William, just He would be angry that the other party lied to him, and while rejecting William's contact, he secretly hoped that William would come to him. Unfortunately, William didn't come to him, so he wouldn't know about it in the future.
