behind your back

"No..."

"Morning."

When Xie Zhihua woke up early in the morning and opened his eyes, when Xie Zhihua was still suffering from a hangover, the man was already sitting on the edge of the bed with a coffee pot in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.

"Give me black coffee as soon as I wake up, are you trying to give me a stomachache?" He stared at him unkemptly as he poured the coffee, and couldn't help muttering, the man glanced at him, and directly picked up the half-full cup of coffee Leave, Xie Zhihua quickly buttoned his trousers.

"Where are you going?"

"kitchen."

"Why go?"

"Continue to enjoy my hearty special breakfast."

"Then give me my coffee first too!"

"When did it become your coffee? It's obviously mine."

"Didn't you bring it here just to give me a drink?"

"But I don't want to be a sinner who hurts your stomach."

"Just stop talking nonsense and just tell me! Bring it!"

"Xie Zhihua, may I owe you something? Shouldn't you speak better when you ask for help?" The man stood beside the bed with a coffee pot in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. The only difference was that he was not wearing a tuxedo. Like the one in the TV series, the loyal servant butler who is bossed around and deserves to be angry.

"You brought it for me yourself, did I ask you?"

"How could there be someone like you?" The man raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph, why don't you kowtow and thank you quickly if you get a chance to gain insight?" Xie Zhihua, who was angry with getting up, was invincible. The man feared that his suit would suffer, so he directly raised the white flag to surrender.

"Drink it slowly if you like it, I'm going to work." After giving the coffee out, he stood in front of the mirror to check his appearance, and when he confirmed that everything was perfect, Xie Zhihua just stepped out of the room with his front foot, and Xie Zhihua was fucking behind him The gloomy tone called him to stop, and he knew it was not a good thing.

"What else is there to do?"

"Where are my clothes?"

"If what you're asking is that you wore it yesterday and it's lying in the laundry basket now; if you took it off before, there's some laundry in the closet, it doesn't matter if you want to take it away today or keep it with me, I won't charge you rent."

"Do you still have the face to collect rent from me?" Xie Zhihuapi said with a half smile.Every time he went so far, he didn't ask him to settle accounts. If he really dared to argue with him, he would not be soft.

Speaking of which, last night this bastard actually let him go just like that, but it's really not like his style... Didn't he never care about whether he wanted to or not, as long as the mood came, he would force it?

"Master Xie, do you have another question? Although I'm already late, I can't be too late. I can't leave." The man leaned against the door and crossed his chest with one hand and looked at his watch again. Xie Zhihua His gaze met him inadvertently for a few seconds, and then looked away uncomfortably.

"Let's go, let's go, I will clean up the room for you...the door will also be locked..."

"Then I will trouble you."

"It's not troublesome at all, it should be." Xie Zhihua sat on the bed hunched over the sheets in a daze, not even remembering when the man disappeared, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and suddenly stretched his arms and lay on his head on the bed.

White walls and white ceiling, the colorless space is so empty that he can't see the edge, it's like his thoughts are spreading infinitely——

He closed his eyes and tried to breathe easily, but the depression that blocked his heart was still there, and he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"Morning manager!"

"Good morning, Manager—"

"Morning manager."

After receiving three greetings in a row, Xie Zhihua finally realized how much their company valued politeness. It was already almost noon and they still told him early. Do you think this is Japan?

"Morning, why are you here now?"

Xie Zhihua had no choice but to stop because of the hand that was pressing on his shoulder. He turned his head to see who had the guts to embarrass him, but when he saw the other person's face, he immediately smiled. "BOSS—"

"I thought you were on leave today and wanted to call you."

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's nothing important anyway, but I have a case I want to discuss with you, come to my office?"

Apart from anything else, Xie Zhihua secretly pulled some distance away with the hand that wrapped his shoulders. To be honest, he still couldn't get used to this kind of intimacy until now.

The person he called BOSS was named Wu Mingjia. Although he was two years younger than him in college, they had actually known each other since high school. From graduation to entering the workplace, they had always been partners with a tacit understanding.

In terms of seniority, Xie Zhihua is a few years older than him. In terms of relationship, this company was run by his father. He is the second generation of entrepreneurs, a so-called golden bachelor.

After receiving the coffee handed by the secretary, Xie Zhihua, who was attracted by the aroma, began to savor it carefully regardless of the fact that he had already drank a cup in the morning. Wu Mingjia on the side looked carefully, as if he only admired him drinking coffee and felt that he was enjoying it. In the office After closing the door, he couldn't wait to say: "Senior, the case related to KAM and consumer products will be taken over by our department from next month!"

"Huh?" KAM is a major customer that their company regards as a super golden hen. The order volume of just one model is as high as hundreds of K every month, not to mention that there are still several new projects waiting for Kickoff.

Such a big customer has always been Li Dayu, a senior manager of the first sales department in Handle. He has been running this brand for eight or nine years, and has always been highly relied on by the top management, and his performance is also the highest in the company.No wonder Xie Zhihua was so shocked when he heard Wu Mingjia announce the news.

"The people above are discussing organizational reorganization recently. In order to strengthen the company's competitiveness and boost morale, they have decided to allow business units to accept cases based on product applications instead of one department monopolizing a brand to the end. Everyone has the opportunity to eat Yuxiaoyu, I think it is a very good change, I think this policy should be implemented soon, and the general manager's office is currently drafting a text—"

"Really? Manager Daiyu must be so angry?"

"Let him jump, even if he beats Taipei City, he still has to hand over the case."

Xie Zhihua smiled slightly as if he was also happy for him. Wu Mingjia had wanted to be a big client for a long time, but due to his status as a royal relative and his lack of qualifications in this industry, he had always been unable to achieve his ambition.Presumably his painstaking efforts over the past few years have allowed the top management (boss and others) to see his strength and efforts, so this reform plan was born, right?

"Senior, I will ask Dayu to pass the window immediately. We are going to visit KAM the day after tomorrow. You have to go with me! This case is an opportunity for our department to make a difference. I want you to come down and do it yourself. I don't worry about other people's words. "

"Well, since the BOSS asked me personally, how can I not obey?"

"I knew the senior was the most reliable."

"Ouch——" Wu Mingjia joyfully went to shake his hand, but accidentally knocked over his coffee. Seeing this, the perpetrator hurriedly took out a few pieces of tissue to help him wipe.

"What's wrong? Is it hot? Are you okay?"

"It's okay! Don't be nervous, it's just a little splash. Fortunately, I'm wearing black suit pants today." Xie Zhihua blocked his hand and wiped off the coffee stains by himself, worried that he would mind this trivial matter, so he casually walked away Open the topic and say:

"By the way, since it has been decided to take over KAM, then the logistics staff will inevitably need to be reconfigured. Let's discuss it while you have time? Do you have any ideas?"

Xie Zhihua said while turning on the laptop to call up the departmental organization list and the current work scope of each team member. Wu Mingjia turned his head to look at it, but what caught his attention was not the data on the screen, but Xie Zhihua's serious face for work.

He used to like this face because he was gentle and slender, but now he loves this face because ten years have passed since that incident, and he still chooses to close his heart and bury his head in work all day long.

Back then, when he was parachuted into the second sales department, Xie Zhihua once declared that he wanted to transfer the department to avoid suspicion. It was he who promised him that he would handle it impartially before he agreed to stay. This shows how harsh he is on himself.

Although he only regards him as a junior and a good friend, as long as he can stay by his side, he doesn't really care about the form that much.

After reaching a consensus internally, in order to express their importance to KAM, a major customer, Wu Mingjia and Xie Zhihua, together with their former window, Li Dayu, went to visit the person in charge of this consumer product project in the morning three days later.

Xie Zhihua, who always knows how to grasp the time, started to prepare the data to be presented later as soon as he arrived in the meeting room, while Wu Mingjia and Li Dayu chatted about the latest market conditions while waiting for customers.

At first, he didn't listen to a single sentence. Later, when he was reviewing the file, he, who was born to pursue perfection, couldn't help correcting it. As a result of his over-concentration, he didn't even notice the sound of conversation approaching the door. In the end, Wu Mingjia pulled it secretly. As soon as he was there, he quickly stood up from his chair to welcome the customer.

Because he was saving files when the customers filed in, he didn't have time to see each one clearly. He followed Wu Mingjia and waited for Li Dayu's introduction. Unexpectedly, the business card in his hand was changed to the second one, and he couldn't hand it out again.

"Ah, Manager Xie, please allow me to introduce you. He is our Assistant Manager Yang. We are directly reporting to him about the mobile phone project this time. It happened that your company's window was changed, and Director Wu also came to visit, so I invited him Yang Xieli attended the meeting together in order to understand the future cooperation model, and I did not inform you in advance, so please don't take offense."

"How could it be? The assistant is willing to take time to listen to our briefing in spite of his busy schedule. It must be because he attaches great importance to this case. We will try our best to do our best——Hello, Assistant Manager Yang, I am the representative of the second sales department of AK. Xie Zhihua, please take care of me in the future—” He tried his best to hold his hand and handed out the business card, and the other party glanced at it after receiving it, and said with a smile:

"I will definitely take care of you. It's nice to meet you, Manager Xie. I'm Yang Yiqi. Please give me your advice."

"Uh, I just want to ask Assistant Manager Yang for advice... It's a pleasure to meet you..." The man who just said goodbye on the bed a few days ago is now seeing you again, but he is so polite as if they really don't know each other...

Xie Zhihua looked at the business card in his hand, which even made him feel unfamiliar with the title, and his face turned livid. He never imagined that the bed partner he had been with for nearly a year was actually one of the company's major customers, and he would have to communicate frequently in the future Object--

"Senior?"

"Huh?" When he came back to his senses, he found that the lights in the conference room had been dimmed. It turned out that when he was in a gloomy mood, Wu Mingjia had already replaced everyone's business cards and member introductions in his place.

"It's time to start. The clients are all ready." Wu Mingjia patted him as if he noticed something strange about him. Xie Zhihua shook his head and gave a wry smile, and returned to the computer for the briefing as if nothing had happened.

He tried his best to ignore Yang Yiqi's existence and concentrate on the briefing. Fortunately, he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but sat at the farthest position from him, enjoying the wonderful performance with a playful face.

"Hello, I'm Xie Zhihua." As soon as he stepped out of the office building, Yang Yiqi's call arrived immediately. Since Wu Mingjia was next door, Xie Zhihua deliberately left the team and walked to the corner with his mobile phone.

"Why are you so indifferent?It wasn't like this when you were first in the conference room. 』

I don't know why Yang Yiqi's voice sounded abnormally high-pitched, obviously he is not a person who usually speaks in this tone, obviously he came here deliberately to tease him, Xie Zhihua couldn't help but frowned.

"Assistant Yang, what advice do you have?"

"It's nice to call Yang Xieli, aren't you used to calling me hello?" 』

"How dare I? Yang Xieli is now my bread and butter, and I can't afford to offend him."

"Now that you know you want to flatter me, do you want to meet tonight? 』

"Are you calling just to ask me out?"

"Of course you can also discuss "official affairs" if you want. 』

Hey, which was about to blurt out, swallowed it hard when it reached his throat, Xie Zhihua swallowed his anger and said, "I beg you, don't confuse public and private, okay?"

"Do I have it? 』

"Don't you?" Xie Zhihua lowered his voice, "I'm telling you the truth! I didn't even know you were in this company! If I knew, I wouldn't agree to take this case!"

"You have a lot of opportunities to know, but you didn't grasp it well, why now it's my fault? 』Yang Yiqi was confident, but Xie Zhihua, who was in a fit of anger, couldn't hold back his face at first, and also didn't have the patience to judge right from wrong. He just felt that from the moment he stepped into the meeting room, Yang Yiqi's mentality of waiting to see the good show made him feel happy from the beginning to the end. It's like sitting on pins and needles.

Although he unexpectedly cooperates with him to complete the trick, but who knows what he is planning?Maybe he was lying on his leather chair at this moment, complacent, thinking that he had some reason to catch him!

"Senior, Daiyu has brought the car over, are you going to talk for a long time?"

"Yo, "Senior", you really have the ability to make your boss yell non-stop——"

"Even if I have the ability, I won't do your business! I'm going to hang up!" This guy's hearing is too good, he can still hear from such a distance.

"Fortunately, I attended today's meeting. "He" is quite handsome. No wonder you couldn't bear to break up." 』

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Xie Zhihua became more and more puzzled the more he listened, what about you and him, who is breaking up with whom?

"You pretend again, didn't I tell you "I accidentally saw it"?" 』Yang Yiqi deliberately emphasized his tone, but Xie Zhihua still couldn't understand what he was saying.

"You two are dating, right? 』

"Who am I with?"

"Your boss apprentice. 』

"Where is it?"

"I saw him kiss you. 』

"When?"

"Last month at the entrance of the nightclub at the intersection of 〇〇, you two hugged each other, did I admit the wrong person? 』

Xie Zhihua remembered, he might be talking about the night when he was forced to renew the Chinese New Year's dinner... It's true that he had a couple of drinks, but he wasn't so dazed that he fell unconscious. "You just said you saw someone kiss me?"

"It won't look like it if you pretend again! 』

"It's really a misunderstanding, Ming Jia and I have absolutely no chance."

"Ming Jia?Hmph, isn't it the boss? 』

"It's true that he is my BOSS, but we have a very simple relationship between subordinates and subordinates. You should be dazzled." Regardless of whether Yang Yiqi was talking nonsense, Xie Zhihua tried hard to recall the scene of that day. He remembered that Wu Mingjia was very drunk, but maybe it was Angles are misleading.

"Then just pretend I'm dazzled." 』

"Anyway, let me tell you what I said first, just come to me if you have something to do, and don't drag irrelevant people into trouble."

"If he is an irrelevant person, he will naturally not be able to drag him into the water. What are you worried about?" 』

"Who's worried? I'm afraid you'll make something out of nothing!"

"Uh, senior, are you arguing with someone?"

Turning around without warning, Wu Mingjia's hand that was almost touching his shoulder stopped in mid-air due to his sharp gaze.

"Uh, it's okay... I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I'm done." Xie Zhihua tried to erase the embarrassment, and he cut off the phone call without saying goodbye. Wu Mingjia knew that he was angry but also knew that it was not a good time to ask questions. He gave a smile and pointed in the direction of the gate.

"Then let's go, Daiyu has arrived."

"Well." He followed him to the door, every step was firm, because he knew very well that no matter how similar this back was, he could never be "him". Even so, he still had a responsibility to Wu Mingjia, because This is "his" original entrustment, he is obliged to protect this person, at least he will try his best to do it within his ability.

After returning to the company, Xie Zhihua found a text message lying on his phone just before get off work. The sender's code name was YQ, and he hadn't thought of the meaning of this code name until now.

See you at the old place at nine o'clock. If you can't go, it's not bad to have the boss's junior as company.

The short line made Xie Zhihua frowned. He originally planned to call and curse, but then he picked up his suit jacket and walked out of the office quickly.
