stand-in offense and defense

In terms of the relationship between Sheng Bin and Su Shi, they basically know each other's life circles very well.

But if you have to compare, Su Shi's familiarity with Sheng Bin is obviously more than the other party's. He seldom takes it to heart if he needs it.

Therefore, Sheng Bin had never heard of Di Ruizhong.

From Jiang Qun's attitude, it is not difficult to guess that it probably has something to do with Su Shi, but regarding this person, Su Shi's attitude is to avoid talking about it, and Jiang Qun's reaction is to gloat.

Until the day when they actually faced each other, Sheng Bin finally understood the reason for Jiang Qun's attitude.

Di Ruizhong is a bit like him.

It’s not about the facial features. From the appearance of the two, Sheng Bin looks sharper. Even if he just stands in front of others, he has a natural sense of oppression, while Di Ruizhong has a colder, obviously proud personality. Paired with an unsmiling aura, it looks like a stranger should not enter.

So even though he was a little surprised when he saw Sheng Bin, the greeting between the two still lacked the warmth that humans should have.

"Hi, my name is Di Ruizhong, you can call me cola."

"Sheng Bin."

Compared with him, Sheng Bin's introduction is more concise.

Di Ruizhong came here this time as a representative of a commercial organization in the United States, and he was very interested in the aid project that Sheng Bin and the others participated in.

In view of the arrogant background of the national flag, Di Ruizhong's attitude is also very rude.

"From the perspective of cooperation, I think our intervention will only benefit and not harm the entire construction progress. Since they all have a very clear purpose, as long as the scope is well defined, I don't think there is any need for everyone to reject people thousands of miles away."

He smiled distantly: "Besides, the final decision is not entirely in your hands."

"If we are really so dispensable, I believe you won't waste your time here." Sheng Bin didn't even have the desire to look through the documents Di Ruizhong put in front of him: "Cooperation depends on both sides. Willingness, unilaterally wanting a result, some wishful thinking.”

"But it's not you who are actually in charge of this project this time?" Di Ruizhong glanced at Su Shi standing beside him: "As an old acquaintance, your attitude is really indifferent."

Su Shi just shrugged: "I have always been this virtue, you know it very well."

"If you are interested, you must get it. If you are not interested, don't look at it?" Di Ruizhong stood up, not intending to take the document away: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, Japan will be long, we can communicate slowly."

He came uninvited, and Di Ruizhong left calmly before other people noticed the movement in the conference room. Sheng Bin didn't open the stack of documents until his back was completely out of sight, and glanced at them. Then hand it to Su Shi: "The cost is big enough."

Under such conditions, it is difficult for Palestine to stick to its previous commitments.

This is the case with many things in diplomacy. Until the last moment, all the agreements are in vain. Maximizing the interests is the ultimate goal of every country, so as long as the real things are in front of you, no matter what you do, it will be reversed in the end. possible.

Su Shi read a few pages, and frowned: "It can only be said that our conditions are not very good."

When Jiang Qun heard this sentence when he came in, he couldn't help laughing: "If you really want to give you such a good condition, do you still need to talk about it? We people are not here for this."

He turned to look at Sheng Bin: "How about it, isn't Di Ruizhong difficult enough?"

"Aren't you acquaintances? Use your advantage to communicate in private." Sheng Bin couldn't even tell whether he was telling the truth or joking.

The expression of Su Shi who was standing next to him changed, and Jiang Qun laughed outrightly: "Don't talk about it, Su Shi really has an advantage, if he is willing to sacrifice his appearance, it probably won't be that difficult. "

Without concealing the relationship between Di Ruizhong and Su Shi at all, Jiang Qun added another sentence in Su Shi's warning eyes, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "Maybe, we can reunite after a broken mirror."

Among so many nonsense, only these four words are of some value.

Sheng Bin continued to look at the documents that Su Shi threw back on the table without expression, and waited for the others to enter the conference room one after another, before starting to prepare for the next meeting.

This meeting was even more tragic than the last one.

After two and a half hours, everyone was assigned a lot of work. One of the ways Su Shi and Sheng Bin diverted their attention was a tacit understanding, which was to compress everything into a very short period of time and be forced to almost I can't breathe anymore, so I don't have the mood to care about what's there or what's not.

When the meeting adjourned at the end, it was rare that Su Shi didn't drag Sheng Bin along this time.

Seeing Su Shi slamming the door and leaving, Jiang Qun couldn't help looking at Sheng Bin next to him who was still unresponsive: "Are you really not interested in Su Shi at all, or do you still think that your relationship still exists?" consumption?"

The man who was still looking at the file didn't raise his head: "Whether it's the former or the latter, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

"That's true in principle, but Su Shi and I are friends anyway, and I don't want to see him wasting time on you."

Jiang Qun's words were not polite at all: "He just refuses to admit defeat to death, it doesn't mean he can't let go."

Sheng Bin flicked through the documents for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Jiang Qun: "So when you made such a big fuss in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was it because you put it down, or did you not put it down?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Jiang Qun didn't say a word for a long time. Although Sheng Bin had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes. The two just stared at each other without saying a word. It was Jiang Qun who squinted his eyes and smiled after a long time. : "... If Su Shi knew that I could make you so angry, he would definitely show me his temper."

"You don't want to see what I'm like when I'm angry." Sheng Bin's attitude is still very understated: "People who are very curious often end badly."

Realizing that this was not a good topic, Jiang Qun changed it like a friend: "Are you not curious about Di Ruizhong at all?"

Sheng Bin raised his eyebrows: "If I said I was curious, would you not say so?"

Didn't he stay until now to tell him about Di Ruizhong's entanglement with Su Shi...

Sheng Bin put down the folder in his hand: "But you'd better be sure, you told me that Su Shi won't be really irritable for you to see."

"I just wanted to make him angry."

Jiang Qun proudly leaned on the edge of the desk: "When Di Ruizhong was still in China, he had a relationship with Su Shi for a while. Although it wasn't too long, it was considered a formal past. Our friends all saw him at that time. But, so I was shocked when I received you, we have always known that Su Shi has a special obsession, but we didn't expect it to be you."

Or should I say, I didn't expect Di Ruizhong and Sheng Bin to be so similar.

Although there will still be some differences after actual contact, it is undeniable that when we first met, there was indeed an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Sheng Bin nodded: "Then why did they separate?"

"You have to ask the person concerned about this question yourself." Jiang Qun raised his hand: "All I know is that Su Shi seems to be very casual about relationship matters, but the only person we have seen over the years is Di Ruizhong, if you really come down, you will be second."

He said that two words with special emphasis.

Deliberately provoking Sheng Bin's nerves but still didn't get the desired reaction, Jiang Qun looked at it for a while and found that Sheng Bin really didn't respond, and frowned a little unhappily: "...It seems that the Su style is really completely Wasting time."

With a tut, he clapped his hands and wandered out of the conference room a little bored.

Sheng Bin turned his eyes back to the document in his hand, and the expression on his face still did not reveal a trace.

Staying in the conference room until midnight, Sheng Bin finally realized the problem of time, and it was because the computer's anti-virus prompt popped up.

Feeling that it was almost done, he roughly put away his things, and then walked to the hotel.

The place where he lives should be able to move in in another week. It is actually quite awkward to live in a hotel often. He likes a relatively independent and closed space.

Because it was relatively late, there were no people along the way, so even if the movement of him getting out of the elevator was not loud, it sounded very clear.

As soon as he took out his room card, the door of the next room opened.

The Soviet-style bathrobe is open, and water is dripping from the hair. It looks like he just took a shower: "I thought you were going to sleep in the office today."

"Come back and change."

Sheng Bin opened the door while talking, but Su Shi walked over and put it on for him again: "Come and have a drink with me, I'm not in a good mood."

The invitation was almost like a threat. Sheng Bin had no choice but to be pulled into the room by Su Shi. On the contrary, the layout of the room made him a little uncomfortable. A glass of strong wine: "Drinking by yourself is boring."

Sheng Bin took off his coat, rolled up his cuffs because the temperature in the room was a bit high, and poured himself a glass: "The appearance of cola seems to have affected you a lot." These words were more like conclusions than inquiries, he Added a few cubes of ice to the wine glass, then looked up at Su Shi: "So it's because of him that you've been pestering me for so long?"

Originally, I also felt that Su Shi's feelings for him were a bit difficult to understand. After all, with Su Shi's conditions, it is not difficult at all to find someone who suits him.

In the end, Su Shi just frowned: "Did Jiang Qun tell you that?"

The man who drank neither admitted nor denied that his throat was burned by the strong wine, especially since he hadn't eaten at night, after taking this sip, his entire abdominal cavity felt as uncomfortable as a fire.

Su Shi dried up the wine in his glass by himself, then stood up abruptly and walked in front of Sheng Bin, stretched out his hand to brush away the messy hair on his forehead, then bent down and kissed Sheng Bin angrily. with.

The lips and teeth of the two touched together, feeling extremely uncomfortable and slightly numb.

"Sheng Bin, sometimes I really want to strangle you and see what ingredients you are made of."

Gritting his teeth at Su Shi's words, he pulled away a little distance from each other, and then pressed back uncomfortably. If possible, his posture seemed to bite Sheng Bin's neck.

And it's the kind that must see blood.

Sheng Bin still held the wine glass in his hand, and he frowned, neither interrupting nor resisting, and when Su Shi had finished tossing about, he heard the man close to his ear softly humming out a sentence: "Di Ruizhong and I The only reason we were together back then was that he was a bit like you..."

Because of this sentence, Sheng Bin put the cup in his hand aside casually, and directly overturned Su Shi on the sofa in the posture of two people. Su Shi was a little surprised by the rare active action, and then Sheng Bin looked down at the bathrobe. The man who opened his eyes had a rare displeasure on his face: "Then you'd better see clearly... I don't look like him at all."
