Western food lover

The next day, Zhong Mingli called Chen Junru into the office, and said angrily, "You told my mother about my situation? How did she know that I rented that apartment?"

Chen Junru's eyes turned red immediately, "I slipped my tongue. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you, President."

"Apart from this, what else did you tell my mother? Did you tell me about the company?" Zhong Mingli continued to interrogate.It would be bad if my mother knew what was going on inside the company.

"No, how dare I tell my aunt the company's operating information without your permission, the president. She asked, but I only said the information on the financial statements, and I didn't say anything else." Chen Junru sobbed.

"Xiao Ru, you are an old employee of the company, and I have always trusted you. I know you have worked with my mother, and your relationship has always been good. But don't forget, I am your boss now, and I don't want my The employee leaked the company or my private information to outsiders, even if it is my mother. You take a week off first, and then make a decision after I have dealt with my mother's affairs." Zhong Mingli ordered.

"President, I know I'm wrong, don't fire me." Upon hearing Zhong Mingli's words, Chen Junru panicked even more.

"You hand over the work at hand, and go on vacation first." Zhong Mingli said without arguing.

Seeing Zhong Mingli's resolute attitude, and thinking of what he had said to his mother, Chen Junru didn't know how to tell him the truth. 『Perhaps this time I am doomed to leave this company on impulse. 』Chen Junru left the office sadly.

Principal Wu of Yuliang Comprehensive College is very distressed today.Due to the complex number of students in this vocational school, occasional small incidents - like drinking and fighting at the police station - could not shake his old man's nerves.

But this time it was different. Principal Wu couldn't erase the deep wrinkles even if he stroked his forehead again.In the anonymous envelope on his desktop were several photos, which were obviously taken by Du Xiaoxiong secretly: some were kissing people in the car, some were waiting in the lobby of the hotel, and some even went in and out of high-end apartments.

Of course, President Wu knows about that apartment, which is one of the three most expensive private apartments in the city, with complete and high-end interior facilities and strict security. He's helping socialize with the plutocrats.

Although Principal Wu once doubted the source of Du Xiaoxiong's money, it's none of his business, as long as the students can afford the tuition fees, if there's a small incident occasionally, the cover-up will pass.Small colleges like theirs don't need to study social ethics in colleges.

But the sender said that a shameless student like Du Xiaoxiong should be expelled, otherwise he would send the photo to the newspaper to disclose to the public.

Of course, President Wu can also get rid of Du Xiaoxiong as the sender said, and it will be settled once and for all.

But the real reason that made Principal Wu distressed was that he recognized the car in the photo—it was the car of Zhong Mingli, the president of the upstart Hezong western food chain store!

Because of the nature of the school, Principal Wu has contacts with the bosses of major businesses, hoping that his students can work in their companies for internships after graduation. The higher the employment rate of students after graduation, the more famous and talented their school will be. people study.As the president of the largest western food chain store in H City, Principal Wu will certainly not let him go.

Therefore, if Du Xiaoxiong does not handle this matter properly, it will definitely cause serious damage to the interests of his school.If the incident is exposed, his school will definitely be famous in the whole city, no, even the whole country.At that time, Hezong will definitely not cooperate with him, and it may affect the confidence of other businesses in his school.But if Du Xiaoxiong is expelled from school, if he is Zhong Mingli's pet, Zhong Mingli will still cancel the cooperation under anger.

"Du Xiaoxiong, Du Xiaoxiong, you really gave me a big problem. 』Principal Wu stroked his forehead again.

Of course, it's impossible to leave him alone. After thinking about it for a day, President Wu decided to start with Du Xiaoxiong first. If he was really just helping out with communication, then it would be easy to handle and he would be fired directly.But if he really has a backer, we will discuss countermeasures at that time.

Du Xiaoxiong was puzzled when the principal asked him to go to the office again. Since the last tuition incident ended, he hadn't looked for him again. What was it for this time?A trace of uneasiness floated in my heart inexplicably.

When Du Xiaoxiong stepped into the office again, Principal Wu immediately looked outside to make sure no one was around and immediately locked the door.Seeing Principal Wu's cautious actions, Du Xiaoxiong felt more uneasy in his heart.

"Is the principal looking for something?" Du Xiaoxiong tried his best to control his voice, so that he didn't sound worried.

Principal Wu looked at Du Xiaoxiong in front of him. Compared with before, he did look like a different person.Dressed in decent brand-name casual clothes, speaking more confidently and no longer with a begging tone, the red face shows that the owner is living a good life, his hands and hair have been carefully taken care of, and his spirit is in good spirits.

"Xiaoxiong has been doing pretty well recently."

"Yes. Thank you, principal, for your concern."

"Xiaoxiong, actually, I don't care about the personal affairs of the students. You are already full when you are admitted, you are adults, you know how to deal with others, and you will be responsible for your actions, right? I am I won't meddle in other people's business to restrict or criticize your actions." After speaking, Principal Wu took a sip of water from the cup on the desk, thinking about how to proceed with the conversation tactfully.

Du Xiaoxiong's sense of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Of course the principal didn't come to chat with him. What would he say next?

"However, if the matter is found out by outsiders and it still comes to me, for the sake of the reputation of the school and other students, I have to deal with it." After finishing speaking, Principal Wu took out the anonymous envelope, put it in front of Du Xiaoxiong, and continued: " Somebody sent me these pictures saying you were aiding a relationship, I hope you can explain it to me, of course I don't believe my students would do this kind of thing, but if it's true, I'll just have to follow school rules .”

Hearing President Wu talk about "communication assistance", Du Xiaoxiong's face was completely pale, and he managed to control his trembling hands to grab the envelope, so as not to let it fall to the ground.When he saw the photos inside, Du Xiaoxiong felt as if an atomic bomb had been dropped into his mind. After a loud noise, there was only a dead whiteness in his mind, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

What he was most worried about finally happened.

Principal Wu saw Du Xiaoxiong's pale lips move, didn't say anything, just kept crying silently and became anxious, "Du Xiaoxiong, don't just cry, what's going on? Are you helping Socializing? Is there anyone else besides this?"

"I don't have a social relationship! I don't have that kind of relationship with him. We are a couple. I love him, and he loves me!" Du Xiaoxiong suddenly retorted loudly.

It is true that the relationship between them used to be regarded as social assistance, but later when love arose—Zhong Mingli said so, and Du Xiaoxiong was willing to believe—the relationship between them became lovers, and their subsequent sexual behavior was also based on Love not money transactions.

Du Xiaoxiong did not allow others to slander the relationship between him and Zhong Mingli.

"It's good to be a lover, it's good to be a lover." President Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he had to think about a solution. If Du Xiaoxiong said that he and Zhong Mingli were lovers, then Zhong Mingli would definitely not stand idly by .If Zhong Mingli was just playing with Du Xiaoxiong, then he could only adopt the original approach.

"Xiaoxiong knows who would do this kind of thing?"

"I don't know." Du Xiaoxiong shook his head. He didn't know anyone in Zhong Mingli's company. Su Zexiu was the only friend of Zhong Mingli he knew.On the other hand, my personal connections are more pure, I have never had a bad relationship with others, and I can't figure out who would be so boring to follow me and take a photo for the principal.

"Xiaoxiong, this matter is more difficult. The other party said that if I don't expel you, he will make the photo public. You are my good student, of course I don't want to do this. But for the sake of the school's reputation, you have to be considerate of me. ? I think you'd better discuss it with your guy, has he offended someone? We have to find a plan."

Du Xiaoxiong nodded, silently took the photo and walked out.

Because the early spring is approaching, you can vaguely see green shoots on the trees, but Du Xiaoxiong feels as if he has returned to the winter, when he was walking helplessly on the school road.But at that time, he was worried about tuition fees, but now he is worried about how to deal with the trouble Zhong Mingli was exposed to.

"Xiaoxiong—" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Du Xiaoxiong turned around slowly and saw Zhang Tian running over in a panic.Then Zhang Tian grabbed Du Xiaoxiong, said "I have something to talk to you", and dragged him to a hidden alley on campus.

Du Xiaoxiong was dragged away by him in a daze, thinking: "Does Brother Zhang also want to talk to me about aiding communication?" 』

When he got to a certain corner, Zhang Tian checked again that there was no one around, and then he stopped and said to Du Xiaoxiong, "Xiaoxiong, I want to ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly."

Du Xiaoxiong nodded silently.

"When everyone went to the KTV yesterday, I accidentally saw you go out the back door and get into a car, and even kissed someone else. Tell me honestly, are you helping to communicate?"

"I didn't—" Du Xiaoxiong's tears flowed out like a stream.Even Big Brother Zhang has seen it, and I don’t know how many other people know about it.

"I didn't stay with him for money. He loves me, and I...me too... woo——" Xiaoxiong looked straight at Zhang Tian, ​​and the more he spoke, the more he felt aggrieved, choked up and couldn't finish the sentence He lowered his head.

why?Even his close and trusted friend misunderstood his relationship with Zhong Mingli?Du Xiaoxiong thought sadly while wiping the tears that flowed more and more fiercely with his hands.

Feeling that Du Xiaoxiong's reaction was a bit abnormal, Zhang Tian quickly took out a tissue and said to Du Xiaoxiong, "Xiaoxiong don't cry, what happened?"

Du Xiaoxiong sobbed and took out the envelope and handed it to Zhang Tian, ​​"Yesterday someone took a photo of me and sent it to the principal. He said that I was helping social relations. If the principal doesn't fire me, he will publish the photo."

Hearing that, Zhang Tian hurriedly took the photo and glanced at it quickly, then patted himself on the head angrily, "Damn it, it turned out to be him."

When Du Xiaoxiong heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Tian, ​​"Brother Zhang, do you know who did it?"

"I don't know him, but when I saw you leaving and going back to KTV, I saw a man wearing a blue hat holding a camera. I thought he was a reporter interviewing KTV, but I didn't expect that he was following you. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped him."

"Ah—" Du Xiaoxiong exclaimed, when was he being followed?

"Xiaoxiong, you are still a student. If you associate with such a person of status, let alone whether the other party is sincere, if this kind of thing gets out, no matter what the truth is, people in society will not recognize you. To you, It will be extremely damaging to the reputation of the other party and the school." Zhang Tian said seriously.In fact, he more or less felt that the other party had cheated Du Xiaoxiong's feelings. Du Xiaoxiong was too pure and naive. When such a thing happened, he was the only one who was hurt.

"You'd better not look for him now, and avoid the limelight first. If you can escape this turmoil and find a job after graduation, you can continue to associate with him. At least you will be a member of society at that time, and you can be independent Work and live, others can’t say anything about you.” Zhang Tian persuaded Du Xiaoxiong to leave that so-called "lover" temporarily, maybe he will understand that it was just a dream in the future.

Du Xiaoxiong nodded in frustration, and said goodbye to Zhang Tian.He didn't dare to go home. The person who took the sneak shot knew that he was living in Zhong Mingli's apartment, and might continue to ambush there.He didn't dare to go to Su Zexiu's bar, for fear of bringing trouble there.

After thinking about it, Du Xiaoxiong could only think of calling Su Zexiu first and explaining why he couldn't go to work.He didn't dare to look for Zhong Mingli, he knew that Zhong Mingli must still be at work now, and he didn't want to disturb his work.

Su Zexiu unexpectedly received a call from Du Xiaoxiong saying that he was unable to come to work due to urgent matters. Su Zexiu felt that Du Xiaoxiong's voice sounded like he had been crying. Su Zexiu didn't believe Du Xiaoxiong's words even more, and insisted that Du Xiaoxiong tell the truth.Du Xiaoxiong had no choice but to tell Su Zexiu about being secretly photographed and threatening to expel him from the principal.

"Damn it! This is Tai Sui who broke ground, and my people dare to do it. Little bear, come here immediately, and I will settle this matter for you... It's okay, don't worry, I also know some friends." Su Ze When Xiuyi heard this, she was furious, and those who didn't have eyesight secretly took pictures without looking at who was covering them.

As soon as Du Xiaoxiong heard that there was hope, he rushed to the bar and showed Su Zexiu the secretly photographed photos.

"What characteristics does your friend say about that person?" Su Zexiu became more and more furious as she watched. Both friends were secretly photographed. If you find the perpetrator, you must beat him hard to relieve your anger.

"He didn't see it either, he just said that the man was wearing a blue hat covering his face."

"Well, it's okay. I'll ask someone to check it out. It just so happens that Hung Hom KTV is a friend's store. Have you told Mingli yet?"

"No, I don't know how to tell him..." Du Xiaoxiong lowered his head and said sadly.

"I'll tell him. Don't go back to the apartment, Bear, just stay with me for a few days. I'll go back after I've settled the matter."

"Okay, please trouble Mr. Su." Du Xiaoxiong said in shame.When there is trouble, I can't help with anything, and I can only rely on others to solve it for myself.

First, Zhong Mingli couldn't live with him because of his mother, and then he couldn't go back to the apartment or meet Zhong Mingli because of the secret filming incident.Sure enough, as Brother Zhang said, is it because he is not yet able to be completely independent and can only rely on others?

After Du Xiaoxiong left to rest, Su Zexiu threw the photo to Wanglong and said angrily, "Wanglong, ask your friend to help me find this bastard and the mastermind behind it."

Zhong Mingli almost smashed the office after receiving Su Zexiu's call.Although he didn't want to think too badly of his mother, besides her, Zhong Mingli couldn't think of anyone who would target Du Xiaoxiong.

But how did mother know of Du Xiaoxiong's existence?Thinking of how Chen Junru hesitated to speak back then, Zhong Mingli pressed Chen Junru's phone angrily.

When Chen Junru saw the call from the office, she was startled, and pressed to answer it with fear and anticipation. When she heard Zhong Mingli's angry question, the illusion in her heart was finally shattered, and she could only cry and explain everything.

It turned out that ever since she accidentally met Zhong Mingli and Du Xiaoxiong in the supermarket that day, Chen Junru always went to the supermarket intentionally or unintentionally at that time, and she really saw Zhong Mingli and Du Xiaoxiong shopping together again.

Although Chen Junru knew that Zhong Mingli was meaningless to him, otherwise what should have happened for so many years would have happened long ago.But knowing it in your heart is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.What's more, she always thought that Zhong Mingli would choose a rich or talented woman to improve his career, but she didn't expect to choose an ugly vocational school student in the end.

So when Wang Zhen asked if Zhong Mingli was dating any woman, Chen Junru's heart suddenly twisted a little, "If I told Wang Zhen that Zhong Mingli was next to a boy from a vocational school, she would definitely lose her temper." Furious, find a way to break them up. 』

Suddenly, Chen Junru told Wang Zhen everything, including the school uniform she saw Du Xiaoxiong was wearing.

But she never expected that Wang Zhen would choose the method of stalking and secretly taking pictures, and let Zhong Mingli find evidence.Thinking of Zhong Mingli's sentence "In view of your hard work for the company for many years, you should find a reason to resign yourself", Chen Junru could only cry and silently swallow the bitter fruit caused by her momentary jealousy.

Su Zexiu called Zhong Mingli again, saying that the person who took the sneak shot has been found, and that person is new to the credit agency, so he doesn't know who can check and who can't touch, and he has already taught that person a lesson.The negative was carried by Wang Zhen, and he had already asked someone to snatch her bag to get it back. I guess she should be crying at the police station about her newly bought LV bag.

Hearing Su Zexiu's heartless laugh on the other end of the phone, Zhong Mingli could only thank him awkwardly for his help.

Not long after Su Zexiu called, Zhong Mingli received a call from Wang Zhen. She was crying on the other end, saying that she was robbed of her bag and threatened with a knife. How did she escape from death? Alone in the hotel apartment, panic, helpless and miserable, she wants to go back to the United States.

Zhong Mingli smiled inexplicably, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He comforted his mother for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Originally, he really wanted to question why his mother did this, but it's okay to solve the matter in another way.Maybe the shrewd mother will finally understand the truth of the incident, but I believe she dare not bring it up again, and as long as she doesn't do anything to hurt her relationship with Du Xiaoxiong, she can act as if nothing happened.

The photo incident was perfectly resolved. Wang Zhen was scared out of her wits by the robbery incident, and then thought that Zhong Mingli was determined not to accept her lobbying, and it would be meaningless to stay in City H, so she hurriedly revised her ticket and returned to the United States ahead of time.Zhong Mingli was excited to take Du Xiaoxiong back to the apartment, but was unexpectedly rejected.

"Why? Now no one will threaten you and me." Zhong Mingli frowned and asked displeased.After Su Zexiu's management, no one would dare to gossip about them now, so why didn't they go home?

"Mingli, this incident made me understand one thing." Du Xiaoxiong stretched out his hand to smooth Zhong Mingli's frown. "You really love me, I am very touched. But it also makes me feel that the current me is not worthy of you."

"It doesn't matter whether you deserve it or not. I don't allow you to underestimate yourself." Zhong Mingli immediately retorted.

"It's not about underestimating, it's about seeing yourself clearly. Brother Zhang is right. I'm still a student, but you are already a successful person. Even if we really love each other, no one will believe it if it spreads out, and they will still think that I am being adopted." .”

"We don't need to care about other people's boring eyes!" Zhong Mingli put his arms around Du Xiaoxiong, but in his heart he bitterly scolded that troublesome brother Zhang.

"But I don't mind." Du Xiaoxiong said quietly. "Your mother is here, I dare not see her. I want to hide from the secret filming incident. Both the principal and Brother Zhang thought I was helping socializing. But this is right, isn't it? How could I pay for it without your money?" Affordable tuition fees? Without your money, how could my mother and I’s lives have improved so much? It’s not all due to my hard work.”

Zhong Mingli's body froze, "You and I are not in that kind of money-meal trading relationship."

"Yes, but that's just my luck. You're a good person. You fell in love with me, and I fell in love with you. That's why I lied to myself, and spent money with peace of mind. So... I'm leaving you, a period of time."

Zhong Mingli was startled, quickly pulled Du Xiaoxiong away, looked into his clear eyes, and said in disbelief: "You want to leave me? You don't love me anymore?"

No!He has been working hard to make money, and has been working hard to give Du Xiaoxiong money and a comfortable living environment, just to avoid being abandoned forever like his father because he has no financial strength.

Why is the result still the same?

Seeing Zhong Mingli, who has always been prudent, flustered so much, Du Xiaoxiong's heart tightened, but it was all for the sake of the two of them being together in a fair and honest manner in the future.This incident was both a blow and an encouragement to him.He didn't have the ability before, but now he has it, so he can no longer let himself stay at home like a pet and be protected by others.

"I love you." Du Xiaoxiong put his arms around Zhong Mingli's neck on tiptoe, "So, after graduation, I will find a job to make money by myself, and pay back the "salary" you paid, so that I will no longer be a "Rely on" you. I can stand beside you in an upright manner, and I can hold my head up to refute what others say, instead of hiding in other people's homes, afraid of this and that, waiting for others to help me deal with the problem. "

"I don't allow you to leave, you can come to my restaurant..." After a while, Zhong Mingli said sullenly.

"That's meaningless." Du Xiaoxiong immediately refused, and then felt that his determination might hit Zhong Mingli, and added: "Just leave for a while, and come back soon."

Zhong Mingli knew that Du Xiaoxiong had made up his mind, and he had seen Du Xiaoxiong's stubbornness before. When he wanted to do something well, he would try his best to do it well, and if he failed, he would try again.If this knot is not resolved, Du Xiaoxiong will eventually leave again.

Zhong Mingli had no choice but to nod, and then suddenly said harshly: "You are not allowed to change your mind. If I find out that you have changed your mind, I will tie you up and lock you up by my side forever."

Unexpectedly, Zhong Mingli would suddenly have such a childish side, Du Xiaoxiong quickly pecked him, and then was turned into a deep long kiss by Zhong Mingli.
