heartbeat out of control

The call was from Xu Fangjing, Xiao Le's cell phone was turned off, and Yu Xuan didn't answer it, Xu Fangjing was dying of anxiety: "Brother Xiao! Something happened to the company!"

In the XT conference room, Tang Yu'an and Xu Fangjing were already waiting inside, and Yu Xuan and Xiao Le walked in together.

Xu Fangjing immediately handed over a paper notice to Xiao Le. The notice said that XT Company had been reported for alleged tax evasion, and that the advertisements produced were seriously inconsistent with its products and suspected of fraud, which had brought a very bad impact on the advertising industry and even the society. The current enterprise supervision department ordered XT Company to suspend business indefinitely for rectification.

"We should have been punished." Xu Fangjing said.

Tang Yu'an rolled his cigarette and didn't light it. "The tree attracts the wind, it's not normal to be punished, but is this indefinite plan to make us close the door? What about the employees? They can't wait."

Xiao Le pondered for a moment, and said: "Those who want to resign can go through the resignation procedures, and those who are willing to wait will have a month's leave and their salary will be paid as usual."

One month's vacation is enough for XT to go bankrupt, Tang Yu'an asked: "Do you know who it is?"

Xiao Le: "Chi Ruirao."

Chi Ruirao is the second son of Chi Xing Entertainment. The capital power behind Chi Xing Entertainment is huge. Its influence can be said to be overwhelming in Chang'an, and the internal struggle is also extremely complicated.

When Chi Ruilin went in, Chi Ruirao's help was indispensable, but Xiao Le's move was after all a member of the Chi family, so he must be warned, one is to tell him who is the boss, and the other is to let him understand current affairs and learn to stand in line.

"Fuck, those bastards, what are we going to do now, just sit and wait for death?"

Although in this circle, after careful investigation, no one is innocent, it depends on whose bottom line is lower, Xiao Le is not willing to get too close to the Chi family, but in Chang'an, only the Jiayou Group can fight against the Chi family.

"Think of a way to make an appointment with Mr. Gu of the Jiayou Group."

Jiayou Group is a technology giant in Chang'an, with strong financial resources. It was originally a venture capital company, and now it owns a number of high-tech companies, and has gathered the top technological talents in Chang'an.Its boss, Gu Jianan, is also someone that bigwigs in various industries desperately want to make friends with.

Tang Yu'an: "But it is said that Mr. Gu and his wife have been traveling around the country all year round, and no one can see him. The people who have dated a few times before are not in the country."

Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I can help."

The three looked at him: "You know Gu Jianan."

Yu Xuan: "I met once, I have a cousin who is his assistant."

Yu Xuan called his cousin Han Xiaoxia, and after connecting, a hearty and crying voice came from afar: "Youyou, I was wrong, you open the door, Youyou..."

Yu Xuan: "What's that sound?"

Han Xiaoxia: "The sound of the boss coaxing the boss's wife."

Yu Xuan: "..."

"What's wrong?" Han Xiaoxia asked Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan briefly stated the reason for wanting to meet Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu is busy coaxing his wife so he has no time to talk to others, but Mr. Gu's wife is also a painter, and she likes Yu Xuan's paintings. Han Xiaoxia conveyed the boss's intentions on her behalf, but she can't see anyone, but things can be done, and there is no need to suspend business for rectification. Worry, treat it like a week off.

With the guarantee from President Gu of Jiayou Group, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yu Xuan together, and said with a smirk: "Little hero, fly one?"

Yu Xuan hid behind Xiao Le, grabbed his arm, "How dare you!"

Xu Fangjing was gearing up, he wanted to punish this little bastard a long time ago: "Don't pretend to be a tiger, who are you scaring! Come out!"

Yu Xuan asked Xiao Le for help, and Xiao Le took advantage of the situation to carry him on his back and flipped him perfunctorily, "Okay."

"No! Come, come, lift them both up for me! Let's celebrate after the holiday, and send the two newlyweds wearing wedding rings into the bridal chamber!" Xu Fangjing called a group of people to come in, and swarmed them together. All thrown into the air.

***

There was no class to attend, so Xiao Le took Yu Xuan back to meet his parents, and Chen Yalan urged them to go back several times.

Although this parent Yu Xuan has met since childhood, he is knowledgeable, reasonable, gentle and amiable, but now that the relationship between the two has changed, he is still a little worried: "Can Aunt Chen really agree with us?"

"It's not like you don't know how much she likes you."

"Aunt Chen is so open-minded?"

"Ah."

At the beginning, Chen Yalan was not so open-minded. As soon as Xiao Le graduated from university, she tried to introduce him to a partner, so Xiao Le confessed his sexual orientation.

At that time, Chen Yalan felt that the sky was going to fall, she sought a psychiatrist and went on a hunger strike, and finally sent herself to the hospital. Xiao Le reluctantly promised her not to fool around with those dubious men.

In fact, he has never been fooling around, and he is focused on his career. He wants the company to gain a foothold in Chang'an as soon as possible, and he also wants to give Chen Yalan a better life.

Chen Yalan kept arranging blind dates for Xiao Le for two years, but Xiao Le didn't meet any of them, and they all shied away on the pretext of being busy.

As the years passed, Chen Yalan gradually realized that she couldn't be with her son for the rest of her life, and whether she was a man or a woman, she had to have a companion to help each other.

Seeing that her son was about to turn 30 and still alone, she became anxious again, and sent Xiao Le a picture of a boy every now and then, but no matter how tall or short, fat or thin, Xiao Le didn't like him.

Until two months ago, Xiao Le asked her: "What do you think of Yu Xuan?"

At that time, Chen Yalan realized that the two children had a problem. She had been a peacemaker for them for so many years, but she really didn't think about the relationship other than brothers. The main reason was that the road of homosexuality was too narrow. It's hopeless, but she still hopes in her heart that Yu Xuan can live a life of marrying a wife and having children like ordinary people.

Seeing the rings of the same style on both hands this time, it was really confirmed.

Chen Yalan watched Yu Xuan grow up. He is good-looking and has a good personality. There is no one better than him in a hundred miles away. She naturally likes him from the bottom of her heart.

It's just that how to explain to Lao Yu in the future is still a matter. The son who was entrusted to them to take care of her became a daughter-in-law.

While washing the vegetables, Chen Yalan secretly asked Xiao Le: "This matter can't be hidden for long, how will you explain it to your uncle Yu in the future?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll figure out a way." Xiao Le took two bottles of water from the refrigerator and went out.

Chen Yalan dried her hands on her apron and followed them out, and asked Yu Xuan cordially: "Xuanxuan, is there anything you particularly want to eat? Auntie will make it for you. You haven't eaten a meal made by auntie for many years, right?"

"Auntie, I like to eat anything." This is true, Chen Yalan is good at cooking, Yu Xuan used to have the cheek to go to Xiao Le's house for dinner when he was a child.

Xiao Le sat down next to Yuxuan, unscrewed the bottle cap, and passed the water over: "He is still the same as when he was a child, easy to raise, as long as he has meat."

Yu Xuan kicked him secretly, and corrected him: "I'm not picky about food, and I like food."

"You should eat more meat, you look thin." Chen Yalan yelled at Xiao Le who had just turned on the computer: "Hey, Xiao Le, what's the matter with you? How do you take care of it? Are you busy with work every day?"

Xiao Le responded to the email: "Pay attention in the future."

"You see, he knows how to be busy with the computer all day long, and he can't stop when he goes home." Chen Yalan saw that her son didn't like everything, and she didn't know how he deceived Yu Xuan.

"There are many things in the company, and he is the boss, so he must be busier than others." Yu Xuan smiled to help smooth things over, and Xiao Le reached out and rubbed his head with consideration.

The house Chen Yalan lived in was refurbished and rebuilt the year before last. She refused to move to the city, so Xiao Le bought the house, installed a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer, and specially set it up for her in the yard. I have a large area of ​​land, and I can grow flowers and vegetables when I have nothing to do at home.

Being at ease doesn't mean you have nothing to do.

Chen Yalan took Yu Xuan to pick cucumbers and tomatoes in the garden, and said while picking, "Your Uncle Xiao passed away early. Xiao Le's personality was very eccentric and mature since he was a child. He was still stubborn and not good at expressing. Where did he do it?" No, just tell me, and I will scold him for you."

"No auntie, he is very nice and treats me very well."

"Really?"

"Ah."

There is a peach tree in the middle of the garden, the branches of a tree are bent, the peaches are ripe just right, the light green is red, the peach fragrance is very strong, you can touch it with your hands.

Chen Yalan picked a few ripe peaches from the tree, washed two for Yu Xuan under the tap, "Come Xuanxuan, try it, it was planted by Xiao Le the year we moved here."

Yu Xuan took it and took a bite. It was sweet, soft and delicious. There was a taste in it that the fruit in the supermarket didn't have. He smiled and said, "It's delicious. I'll give him one."

The two children have a good relationship, and Chen Yalan is naturally happy: "Go."

Xiao Le was still working on the computer, Yu Xuan walked over, sat down by the arm of his chair, and handed the peach to his mouth, "Wash it clean, take a bite."

As he spoke, he stretched his head to look at the door, but there was no one, so he turned his head and quickly smacked Xiao Le's face, a particularly loud one, and happily urged, "Why don't you bite, I'll feed you if you don't bite..."

"..." Xiao Le calmly motioned him to look at the computer screen.

Yu Xuan turned his head, and the screen showed that a multi-person video conference call was in progress. Xiao Le was wearing earphones, so he couldn't hear the outside voice, but he could see the people on the screen clapping their ears and laughing wildly at the table.

"!" Yu Xuan fled the scene with Tao Zi as if his tail was burned.

It's a holiday and there's still a meeting!

Being embarrassing in public, one loses twice, why does he always have to experience such a large-scale social death scene!

This was an alliance meeting where big bosses from various companies in the advertising industry gathered. Xiao Le didn't actually turn on the camera, but Yu Xuan's charming voice was still heard by them.

After being teased by everyone in turn, Xiao Le simply hung up the phone, saying that his boyfriend was angry and he had to coax him.

Yu Xuan was watering the vegetable garden, half of his narrow waist was exposed as he moved.

The little daughter-in-law was quite diligent, Xiao Le smiled, and walked over slowly, "What about work?"

Yu Xuan squatted on the ground ignoring him, and poured ladle by ladle on the pumpkin vines, angrily.

Xiao Le also squatted down and kindly reminded him: "The water must be poured on the roots."

"Water where I like!" Yu Xuan blushed, did he do it wrong for a long time?Wouldn't it be a waste of the water saved by Aunt Chen washing vegetables... It's shameful... Fortunately, Aunt Chen didn't see it...

"All right, all right, you're right." Xiao Le reached out to him, "Where's my peach?"

"It's gone! I've eaten them all...uh..."

Xiao Le pressed his shoulder blades, and brought the little fried hair closer with a little force, and blocked his lips. It really smelled like peaches.

The gourd scoop fell to the ground, and the weeds around his feet were wet. Yu Xuan thought that another scoop of water was wasted.

The pumpkin grown by Chen Yalan grows extremely well, a large piece of pumpkin leaves are layered on top of each other, just covering them tightly.

"You've eaten it all, so I can only taste it."

"Rogue... um..."

Xiao Le simply hugged the cute pink face and kissed him for a while, fully exercising his boyfriend's hooligan rights, and asked in a low voice: "Why are your lips so soft?"

This is clearly teasing...

Yu Xuan blushed the color of a peach, and retorted very weakly, "You are soft..."

"Whether I'm soft or not, you'll know if you try."

"..."

***

Xiao Le and Yu Xuan lived in the small town for a full week before returning to the city. XT's suspension of business for rectification soon came to fruition.

The taxation aspect can withstand investigation, and there is no tax evasion. As for the claim that the advertisement does not match the product, the company owns the product to defend its rights, and XT has always accepted product advertisements of high-end and traditional brands. The fraudulent product XT is I won't accept it.

Tens of millions of Ke Lan fans frantically reposted the free public service advertisements that XT has done over the years on Weibo, all of them connoting that the filthy capital market can't tolerate the industry leaders who work hard, and the dark forces behind it Who is it?

Under the pressure of online public opinion, coupled with the help of Jiayou Group, XT soon received a notice to resume normal business.

Xiao Le went to Wu City on a business trip, and he was going for nearly two weeks. Yu Xuan sent the carefully prepared portfolio to Professor Zhou of the Academy of Fine Arts.

The Art Department of Chang'an University is at the same level as Chang'an Academy of Fine Arts. With the recommendations of Professor Xu Fangjing and Zhou, and Yu Xuan's solid painting skills, it is not a problem to transfer schools in terms of professional level.

But a week later, Yu Xuan received a rejection letter from the Academy of Fine Arts. The reason was that his grades in school were too poor, every subject was on the verge of passing, and two subjects failed.

They have never seen such a poor report card. It is not easy for a student in the art department to score less than 80 points. This student usually has to make the teacher so angry that he only gives him 60 points for each subject.

In addition, there are records of disciplinary warnings by the school for fighting and causing trouble many times in the file.

Chang'an Academy of Fine Arts values ​​professional skills, and more importantly, students' comprehensive quality and character.

The letter of refusal was very euphemistic, which probably meant that Yu Xuan was unqualified.

Although Yu Xuan didn't have a strong desire to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, he didn't want to disappoint Xiao Le. This rejection letter was a resounding exclamation point for his wasted two years in the past, and it also gave him a bad label.

In the illustration department of XT Company, Yu Xuan adjusted the color of the display screen with a color calibration instrument.

Xu Fangjing held the health-preserving teacup, sat next to him and asked happily: "Yu Xuan, how long will it take for the illustrations on the packaging of the perfume to come out?"

Yu Xuan stared at the screen with squinted eyes, switched images to check the comparison before and after color correction, and clicked the save button, "The day after tomorrow, Ke Lan's concert illustration is still unfinished..."

"I plan to create a comic IP for XT Company, mainly to draw the daily life of the company's employees, and then insert some commercial soft advertisements. Can you draw? I will send you the information first."

"Okay." Yu Xuan was a little absent-minded, and the transfer was rejected. Xu Fangjing and Professor Zhou counted their busy work as a waste.

Xu Fangjing was particularly satisfied with Yu Xuan's well-behaved attitude, but he also saw that he was not very energetic, so he jokingly said, "Did you miss Brother Xiao? Let me tell you, this man's career is the most important thing, you can't be tired of it every day." Together, little Bie is better than a newlywed, trust me."

Many people around heard the sniggering, Yu Xuan was quite embarrassed and defended: "No."

"When will Brother Xiao come back?"

"The plane next Wednesday morning." Yu Xuan looked up at the overjoyed expression on Xu Fangjing's face, and couldn't help asking him curiously: "Why are you so happy recently? Are you going to be a father?"

"It's almost like being a father." Xu Fangjing smacked his lips and took a sip of his tea. The boss, who he couldn't be coaxed before, now obediently let him order him to paint whatever he asked without complaint.In the past, the manuscript fee for a picture was at least five figures, but now my family doesn't mention the money. Can you be unhappy?

Yu Xuan himself was also quite puzzled. Both Xiao Le and Xu Fangjing had seen his collection of works. Although the paintings in the collection were basically commercial listings drawn before and had never been posted on the website, Xu Fangjing found him with such enthusiasm. Son, it's not that I can't recognize it...

It’s fine if he didn’t recognize him, but he doesn’t know how to explain the comics serialized on his website to Xiao Le. If Xiao Le knew that he used his image to draw a cold-faced villain that everyone scolded, he might not know how to settle accounts with him.

After get off work, Yu Xuan went to the convenience store at the entrance of the community. He didn't have much appetite for eating alone, so he could handle it with a bucket of instant noodles and a bottle of yogurt.

Every night at 9 o'clock is the time for him to call with Xiao Le. After checking the time, there is still an hour and a half left.

I was going to read a book for a while, but just after opening two pages, the doorbell rang.

Yu Xuan glanced at the cat's eyes, and saw that it was Yi Fanxing.

After the door opened, Yi Fanxing came in with a bag of food, and the smell of fried chicken wafted out of the bag.

Smelling the smell of meat, Yu Xuan's appetite was aroused again, and he reached out to pick it up: "Why are you here?"

Yi Fanxing cried and said, "Don't ask anything, drink with me." Then he saw the platinum ring on his hand and stopped crying, "Did you propose to Senior Xiao?"

"Can't he propose to me?"

Yi Fanxing: "He is young, handsome and rich, what is he trying to do with you?"

"..." Yu Xuan cursed, "No matter how young you are, you can still be younger than me."

Beer fried chicken and snacks were placed on the table. Yi Fanxing looked up and down at Yu Xuan who was packing up his books and notes. He had neat short hair, black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a pure white T-shirt and black sweatpants. He was clean, simple and intellectual. Generous.

He no longer remembers the yellow-haired Yu Xuan who was wearing ripped jeans and punching people into the hospital three or two times with a cigarette in his mouth. He said with emotion: "You have changed."

"Speak human." Yu Xuan turned and glanced at him, "What changed?"

"It feels like the feeling of a bad boy coming back from participating in the Transformation Project. It's correct." Yi Fanxing thought of the scene on the birthday party, and seemed to be dressed in this way, laughing happily.

People who fall in love are stupid dogs and have no brains.

Yu Xuan didn't know what he was laughing at, so he kicked him, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"The messy family matters, dirty people, I don't want to mention them." Yi Fanxing opened two cans of beer, and pushed one of them in front of Yu Xuan.

Yi Fanxing's family has a lot of excellent relatives, except for his brother, there are not many normal ones, probably because of the money, so Yu Xuan didn't ask any more questions.

The two teamed up to play games while drinking. When Yu Xuan was unhappy before, Yi Fanxing often accompanied him to fight in the game.

Yu Xuan's phone vibrated, the screen lit up, and a news feed came in.

"Chi Ruilin, the eldest son of Chi Xing Entertainment, was released a few days ago. He said he was wronged..."

Seeing that he was about to win, Yu Xuan suddenly fell headlong from the roof of the warehouse. Yi Fanxing exclaimed: "Fuck, what a new way of playing! Are you using suicide to attract the attention of the enemy?"

"Brother Xuan'er, where are you going? I'm under the car! You're running the other way..."

Yu Xuan was distracted by the news headlines on his mobile phone, and he clicked in, ignoring the imminent battle situation.

With a "bang", Yu Xuan in the game was shot in the head, and the screen was stained with blood and turned gray, accompanied by Yi Fanxing's louder crying: "Ah——Xuaner, what are you doing?"

"Let's rearrange a round." After reading the news, Yu Xuan dropped a few sets of good equipment and played a few more rounds with him.

Yi Fanxing quickly calmed down, and passed out with two cans of beer, so Yu Xuan moved him to the guest room with great effort.

At exactly 9 o'clock, Yu Xuan lay on the bed after taking a shower and called Xiao Le, "Brother, Chi Ruilin was released, and the news said there was insufficient evidence."

"I saw the news." Xiao Le just finished a meal and walked out of the winery restaurant.

"Will he find you when he comes out? Will you be in danger?" This is what Yu Xuan is most worried about.

Xiao Le comforted him: "No, Li Ci has already been taken abroad by his parents."

"how about you?"

"No, he is too busy to take care of himself and has no chance to check."

Xiao Le was very sure, and Yu Xuan felt a little relieved, "The evidence is clear, why was he acquitted?"

"Someone probably wants him to come out. Chi Ruilin is already an abandoned son of the Chi family, but he knows many people's secrets. His imprisonment may involve the interests of the forces behind the Chi family. It is for him to come out." The escape door leads to death..."

The temperature has dropped suddenly these few days, and the night seems to have the coolness of early autumn. Yu Xuan gave Yi Fanxing a thick quilt, and now it is not so warm to sleep under the thin summer blanket. He misses Xiao Le's practical and warm embrace very much.

Just about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard a young and nice boy's voice on the phone, "Mr. Xiao, why are you walking so fast? Mr. Zhang asked me to take you back to the hotel. It's not easy to take a taxi here."

Xiao Le did not refuse, but said thank you.

Yu Xuan heard the boy say: "I should say thank you to you. If it weren't for your help to talk today, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job. The car is here. Does Mr. Xiao want to go somewhere else? Do you want to go?" I can send it anywhere."

The tone of the last sentence is quite ambiguous.

"Go back to the hotel directly." Helping is easy, but Xiao Le doesn't like people who talk too much, so he asked Yu Xuan after getting into the car: "What did you have for dinner?"

Yu Xuan deliberately ignored, Xiao Le asked again, the boy just sat in the driver's seat, he was flattered: "Are you asking me?"

Xiao Le pointed to the earphone, "I'm asking my wife."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The boy fell silent in embarrassment, and didn't dare to speak again along the way.

"Ask you, why didn't you speak?" Xiao Le's tone on the phone was obviously gentle and doting.

"Shameless, who is your wife, and you didn't propose."

The author says:

Although I am slower, I am good at it!
