brightest star in the sky

At noon on Saturday, Lu Chenxing received a call from his boss.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, what's the matter?" Lu Chenxing woke up a long time ago and was lying on the bed, thinking wildly.

"Morning Star, let me tell you, I've almost finished talking about the project with Mr. Gu. You go directly to Qiming Company for a meeting at 68 o'clock on Monday morning. I will also go to the [-]th floor of the Grand Gateway Building. Mr. Gu will give us some advice. , let’s go back and modify it, and if it passes, we should be able to take it down.”

When Lu Chenxing heard that he was going to Gu Ran's company on Monday, his mind went blank.

Want... want to see Gu Ran?

"Hello, hello? Lu Chenxing, did you hear what I just said? Hello?"

"I heard the boss, I understand, I will be there on time at nine o'clock on Monday morning."

"Okay, then I'll hang up."

Ma Jikang hung up the phone, and Lu Chenxing belatedly remembered that the boss's voice was a little hoarse just now.Before I hung up the phone just now, there seemed to be someone next to the boss, who seemed to say something and hang up quickly, baby...?

I must have heard wrong. . .Either that or the sound from the TV!

But there was no news before get off work yesterday, so why did there suddenly be progress at noon today?

Still a little worried, Lu Chenxing sent a WeChat message to the boss.

"Mr. Ma, when did Mr. Gu give you an answer?"

After waiting for about half an hour, I received a reply, just two words.

"last night"

There is not even a punctuation mark. The boss is usually rigorous and a little obsessive-compulsive. He must neatly send messages, and there must be a period at the end of a sentence.

last night?Wasn't Gu Ran at the "Star Bar" last night?Still with another man, he called Ma Jikang after returning from the bar?

Lu Chenxing knew that he had a heavy mind and was prone to overthinking, so he shook his head, unwilling to think about it.Let's make preparations to meet Gu Ran next Monday.

So he got up quickly, saw that the time was past 12 o'clock, picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway, ready to eat something, then turned on the computer to look at this project, and knew every detail by heart, so that he could better communicate with him. He communicates and communicates.

This made it into the middle of the night, Lu Chenxing thought about the next Sunday, tidy up himself, cut his hair, buy a dress, a pair of pants and a pair of shoes, and go to see Gu Ran cleanly.

Who knows, people are not as good as heaven is, the next day Lu Chenxing was cutting his hair at the barber shop downstairs, when suddenly a heavy rain poured down.

Oh my god, I don't even bring an umbrella, how can I go shopping later? !

"Why is it raining so suddenly..." Lu Chenxing complained softly.

"Ah? Didn't you read the news? Typhoon "Sally" is coming today!" said the yellow-haired hair stylist who cut his hair.

"Really? It's true that I haven't watched the news these two days." Lu Chenxing was speechless, it was the end of September and there was a typhoon.

In the past, no matter how busy I was at work, I would still read the news. If I had no time, I would just glance at the messages popped up by various software on my phone. But these two days, I have been so bored that I haven’t even looked at my phone. The only time I picked it up was yesterday. Received a call from the boss at noon, sent him a message and read his reply.

Looking at the heavy wind and rain outside, it probably won't stop for a while, Lu Chenxing rushed home in the rainstorm after finishing his haircut.

It seems that I can't buy these clothes, so I'd better pick and choose at home, thinking that if it's still raining tomorrow morning, I'll take the subway to Gu Ran's company, otherwise I'll be stuck on the road 100% of the time, and I'm likely to be late.Fortunately, Gu Ran's company is also in the city center, so it is very convenient to take the subway.

It was rare to go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening, but Lu Chenxing was tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep, and felt that the night before the college entrance examination was not so nervous.

Gu Ran, do you want to see me?

At 06:30 the next day, Lu Chenxing was woken up by the alarm clock. He didn't know what time he fell asleep the night before. At least it was after midnight. Fortunately, the dark circles under his eyes were not too heavy when he looked in the mirror.

Sure enough, it was still raining outside, not small.Lu Chenxing got up and made himself a bowl of noodles. According to the habit of many years, he added a poached egg and cut a few pieces of char siew.

I don’t have many choices in my closet. After thinking about it yesterday, I chose a light blue T-shirt. Gu Ran likes blue, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. It looks like I’m still a little college student. He shouldn't hate the way she looked at the time, right?

Because he was afraid that the heavy rain would wet his trouser legs, Lu Chenxing rolled up his trouser legs and walked out of the house with a long-handled umbrella.

Not long after, he came back in a hurry, rushed into the room and unplugged the USB flash drive without taking off his shoes, and left in a hurry.

However, he underestimated the power of the typhoon "Sali". It was okay to go from home to the subway station, but something was wrong when he got off from the station close to Gu Ran's company.

There are many high-rise buildings here, but the Ganghui Building has no underground passage leading to the subway. The wind and rain are blowing and blowing under the building. One pair of shoes was slightly better, but also half dry and half wet.

Lu Chenxing was so angry that he was in a mess. It was already 08:30, and it was too late and impossible to find another set of clothes to change.He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and first sent a WeChat message to Ma Jikang, asking him if he could do anything.

"Boss, I'm downstairs at Gu's head office, how long do you have?"

This time Ma Jikang returned within three seconds.

"I'm lining up a parking space in the underground parking garage, you go up first, the 68th floor."

Alas, there is no hope.

I didn't even bring a pack of tissues, so I hurried up to see where the bathroom was, and cleaned myself up.

Nowadays, white-collar workers usually step on their feet to go to work, so at 08:30, there are not many people in the building, and Lu Chenxing is glad that no one sees his virtue.

He looked around, found a direct access to the elevator, and walked over.There are three elevators, C, D, and E, to go to the 68th floor. Lu Chenxing saw that the D elevator was underground twice, so he stood at the door of the D elevator and waited.

After a while, the elevator arrived with a sound of "DING", and the door opened a second later. The moment Lu Chenxing opened the door, he felt someone inside, and he was still thinking about why this person was so early.Then, he was stunned.

Gu Ran!

God is going to kill me. . .

Lu Chenxing felt a drop of rainwater just dripping from his hair, and wanted to cry but had no tears. He clearly wanted to impress him, but why did he see himself in the most embarrassing state!

"Boss Lu? It's so early." It was Gu Ran who spoke first.

Originally, he was standing in the center of the elevator, but now he took a step to the side.

"Mr. Gu."

Lu Chenxing bit the bullet and walked in.

Gu Ran was also taken aback when he saw Lu Chenxing, he watched the man calmly enter the elevator with a cold face.

Oh, you really don't want to come?Gu Ran was a little disappointed.

"Sorry, it's raining too much today, I should cancel this meeting." Gu Ran said.

"It's okay, I'm not prepared enough."

After the business-like conversation between the two, everyone fell silent.

It's not that Gu Ran never thought about canceling the meeting and changing the time, but the idea of ​​meeting Lu Chenxing still prevailed, and he was thinking about it for a weekend, and suddenly had to postpone it, a little reluctant.

Cancel a meeting?Seeing me like this, I wish I had to see you, right?Do you regret it?Thinking of this, Lu Chenxing's heart turned cold, and his face became even colder.

Gu Ran: Why should I rent the 68th floor?

Lu Chenxing: Why do you want to rent as high as the 68th floor!

The two of them had never felt that the elevator was so slow.

"Ah~" Lu Chenxing's whole body was wet, and the air conditioner in the building was full. Just now, his brain was so tense that he didn't have time to reflect it. Now he felt his body was cold.

"Mr. Lu is going to catch a cold like this, go to my office to wipe it off!"

"Ah good!"

Lu Chenxing was secretly happy, he really cared about me.

The elevator finally stopped. After opening the door, the glass door facing it was Qiming Company. It seemed that the entire floor was a company.

Before the front desk arrived, Gu Ran led Lu Chenxing to swipe his card and walked in.

The company's signboard is beautiful, with a blue background, white characters, and two yellow stars in the upper right corner for embellishment.

Lu Chenxing didn't dare to think about whether there was any deeper meaning in it.I just feel that Gu Ran's vision and sense of beauty have always been outstanding.

There were not many people in the company at this time, and when they saw the boss coming, they all greeted each other, and then glanced at the somewhat embarrassed person behind him, but it was not surprising, after all, today is a typhoon day, and many people would probably be like this virtue.

There was a very well-behaved little girl who asked Gu Ran, "Vincent, would you like me to make two cups of coffee and deliver them to your office?"

"Okay, thank you!" Gu Ran nodded to her and smiled slightly.

The little girl ran away happily, she must have gone to the tea room!

It seems that the atmosphere in Gu Ran's company is very good, and the employees call him by his English name directly, instead of "Boss", "Mr. Gu" or something like that.

Walking into the office, the first thing Gu Ran did was to increase the temperature of the central air conditioner by two degrees.

"You wait."

Saying that, Lu Chenxing watched Gu Ran go to another door in his office, opened that door, and vaguely saw a bed inside.

After a while, Gu Ran came out with a dry towel, closed the door behind his back, and quickly handed it to Lu Chenxing.

"Quick wipe!"

Lu Chenxing asked while wiping his hair, "Mr. Gu sleeps in the company?"

Gu Ran replied: "Sometimes I'm rushing to catch up on a project, and occasionally I'll sleep for a day or two."

After Lu Chenxing wiped it carelessly, he was a little embarrassed standing in Gu Ran's office.

Gu Ran glanced at him and found that his hair was messed up.

This person is still like this, no one takes care of him, how did he live?

How could no one take care of it?I think too much!

"This towel, I'll take it home and wash it before returning it to you?" Lu Chenxing's words interrupted Gu Ran's thoughts.

"Oh, no need, this one is new, you can take it back and use it, you don't need to return it."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Or you can leave it alone, and I'll let my aunt clean it up."

What an idiot I am!

Gu Ran: Tell him to take a towel back!

Lu Chenxing: A towel, I still want to send it back!

The two of them were too embarrassed, and finally there was a knock on the door, and the little girl named Alice came to deliver coffee.

After taking a few sips of hot coffee, Lu Chenxing finally recovered, and then the two continued to be awkward.

Gu Ran asked Lu Chenxing to sit and rest first, then walked to the desk and turned on the computer to receive emails.

And Lu Chenxing began to look at this office, the decoration is very modern and beautiful!Behind the sofa I was sitting on was a floor-to-ceiling glass window. It was pouring rain outside at this time, and the 68th floor was actually very high. Looking at it, I had the illusion that I was drenched in the rain.

It was dark outside and the lights in the office were bright. Lu Chenxing found that Gu Ran who was sitting on the side could be vaguely seen from a certain position of the glass window, like looking in a mirror.

So he became interested, and kept looking at Gu Ran in the glass window with a coffee cup in his hand.

Gu Ran raised his head after receiving the email, and saw Lu Chenxing staring out the window in a daze.He subconsciously followed the direction of the other party in a daze, so he saw himself.

Lu Chenxing, who stared at Gu Ran with a good look, suddenly realized that his behavior had been discovered, and blushed a little, then he continued to look out of the window in a strange way.

Gu Ran thought to himself mockingly, as expected he was wrong, he thought he was looking at me.

Finally, the emergency call rang.

"Hello? President Ma, are you here? Wait a minute, I'll call the front desk and take you to the meeting room."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran picked up the landline and made an internal call: "Janet, are you there yet? Mr. Ma of Yuekang will get off the elevator in a while. Take him to meeting room A."

After explaining, Gu Ran said to Lu Chenxing: "Boss Lu, let's go to the meeting room."

"Oh, good." Lu Chenxing stood up and followed Gu Ran.

Ma Jikang was dressed in formal attire and looked like a dog. Maybe he was too familiar with him at ordinary times, so he didn't feel anything. It was the first time he saw him outside so formally today, but he found that his boss was actually quite elite.He is taller than himself, but not as tall as Gu Ran, and his figure is also very slender.

By the way, why is the boss able to meet Gu Ran in such a dignified manner, and make himself so embarrassed!

When Ma Jikang saw Gu Ran, he greeted him enthusiastically, and then he was taken aback when he saw Lu Chenxing.Walk side by side with him behind Gu Ran and ask him quietly.

"Chen Xing, didn't you come by car? What happened to your hair?"

"Huh? Hair?"

Only then did Lu Chenxing realize that he had wiped his wet hair into a mess just now, which looked like a bird's nest, so he felt even worse!

In the conference room, the heads of the two companies, the main developers, and technicians, a total of five people, met for the first time on the project of this multinational company. If it goes well, they will hold the second and third meetings together until the end of the project.

Gu Ran first introduced the project, and gave a detailed explanation of his design plan, which was accompanied by an animation developed by Lu Chenxing.

Lu Chenxing did not expect that Gu Ran was so familiar with his own animation scheme that he didn't need to make supplements at all. The introduction was done in one go, as if he had made it himself, and the things he presented were very similar to his design concept. match.

Lu Chenxing is a little proud, he should be satisfied, right?The mood immediately cheered up.

While explaining on the projection screen with a laser page presenter, Gu Ran caressed his left arm with his right hand from time to time.

In the eyes of others, this is just a habitual little action of Mr. Gu, but Lu Chenxing only saw it for the first time, and his heart ached.

Gu Ran's arm, isn't it alright?Yes, he must be uncomfortable in this kind of weather!

Because his left arm was broken, in his sophomore year, it was still for himself, Lu Chenxing thought angrily, how much trouble he had caused Gu Ran!

Just when I was thinking about it, I was called out.

"Mr. Lu?"

Hearing Gu Ran calling him, Lu Chenxing suddenly came to his senses.

"Huh? Sorry, I was distracted just now. You mean?"

Gu Ran frowned.

Are you so reluctant to cooperate with me?

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I just wondered if the scene where the CEO spoke should be more concise." Lu Chenxing looked at Gu Ran's frown, panicked, and found an excuse.

Unexpectedly, he was wronged by mistake.

"Yes, that's what I just said. Don't use very cool technical means for the background of this place. Put a static picture, put the company logo next to it, and finally the little mascot makes a waving gesture. Is it okay?"

"Ah, of course, this modification is very convenient." Lu Chenxing replied.

"Very good!" Gu Ran nodded.

Next, Gu Ran put forward two or three amendments, only one of which was more complicated, and he had to think of a way when he went back, and the rest were simple.

After the meeting, Lu Chenxing can take Ma Jikang's car back to the company, and they will continue to discuss the more complicated modification when they go back.

Gu Ran said to Ma Jikang: "Mr. Ma, no matter what, I will give me the final revised draft on the first day after the festival. Time is tight, thank you all!"

"It's okay, it's okay, this National Day holiday, we will work overtime and get out soon."

Ma Jikang turned his head and asked Lu Chenxing again: "Chenxing, you didn't arrange to travel with your girlfriend during the holiday, did you?"

!!!

Lu Chenxing's face changed color in a second.

Ma Jikang! !

Lu Chenxing looked up at Gu Ran, only to see that he also had a cold face, without the gentle smile just now.

What... what's wrong with this?Ma Jikang was frightened by Lu Chenxing's murderous eyes, and turned back to look at Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu's expression was not much better!

Therefore, Lu Chenxing wants to go out with his girlfriend during the holidays, and Mr. Gu must get a revised plan after the holiday, so if this is the case, I will do it, I will work overtime, the head office will do it, right?

Why this expression?

Ma Jikang felt that he was so difficult and so tired!

"No, I didn't arrange it!" Lu Chenxing said suddenly, the voice was not small.

Ma Jikang was startled, why is this?Don't let the fake get angry?

However, Gu Ran just said coldly: "Go back and make arrangements yourself! I still have something to do, Jason, please help me deliver it." Then, he turned and left.

Lu Chenxing: Ma Jikang!I kill you!
