Savage Addiction

The plane rushed into the sky at an altitude of [-] meters, dragging a long trail cloud.

Unlike flying to other regions, the sky in Hanas is cloudless, and through the window of the plane, you can vaguely overlook the Altai Mountains.

Ning You just stared at the scenery outside the window. After the most chaotic period of time, he has completely calmed down now.

"Ning You?" Li Chao beside him interrupted Ning You's fugue, "The flight attendant asked what drink you want."

"Juice, thank you." Ning You said.

When the flight attendant pushed the trolley away, Li Chao put down the coffee in his hand, and said to Ning You, "You seem to be very lethargic."

Ning You lowered her eyes and drank the juice quietly, it was really hard to bring up the desire to chat.But out of politeness, he still put down his cup and said to Li Chao, "I haven't slept well these days."

"It can be seen." Li Chaodao, "If I knew it was Li Mu, I would have told him to take good care of you."

The name Ning You was thinking of suddenly appeared in the topic, and his desire to chat suddenly rushed out like a flood that opened the gate.

In fact, Li Mu took good care of him, but it was inconvenient for him to reveal too much to Li Chao.

Obviously Li Mu didn't want Li Chao to see the flaws, so when Li Chao suggested that the three of them go to a hotel outside the scenic spot for dinner, he drove back to the mountain on the grounds that he had something to do.

The time when Ning You's thoughts were the most confused was when she watched Li Mu go away.

According to the original idea, Li Mu should indeed retire and leave, but now the situation has changed drastically. Ning You's fiancé is Li Mu's elder brother, and he has countless reasons to stay, even for the two of them. Engagement offers its own opinion.

But he didn't.

With regard to this incident, Ning You vaguely guessed that although the two brothers had different business philosophy, there was no crack in their relationship.

At least in the short dozen minutes when the three of them met, Li Mu should have not fully digested the shock brought by this scene, and hadn't thought about what to do next, so he chose to avoid it.

In fact, Ning You is also the same.

He avoided talking about his relationship with Li Mu in front of Li Chao, which was also a kind of avoidance, or a kind of evasion.

It is difficult for a person to make a rational decision immediately at the moment of shock.What's more, the current situation is still so complicated, whether it is for Ning You or Li Mu, it will take some time to digest it.

Only after it is completely digested can we find a way to deal with it.

Although the avoidance was a subconscious move of the two of them, they must always be prepared to speak out, otherwise it would be a disrespect to Li Chao.

After calming down the turbulent mood, Ning You looked at Li Chao and asked, "Don't you know that Li Mu works as a forest ranger in Xinjiang?"

"I don't know." Li Chao smiled helplessly, and took a sip of his coffee, "That brat is elusive, sometimes in China, sometimes abroad."

"I heard," Ning You paused, "he is a person who does not do his job properly."

Naturally, this news did not come from the Li family. It was Ning You who asked Xiao Zhao to do some research. It is said that the Li family has a young son who is idle all day long regardless of the family business.

"It depends on how you define 'Zhengye'." Li Chao shrugged, "It is true that he has not participated in the operation of the company, but I admire him for his dedication to environmental protection."

Hearing this, Ning You was almost certain that the two brothers had a good relationship.

"You admire, but..." Ning You hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak directly, "You don't agree."

Li Chao put down his cup, looked at Ning You with raised eyebrows, and asked, "He told you about the family affairs?"

Li Chao is really a very keen minded person, he can hear deeper information from Ning You's words, and he doesn't need Ning Youming to say it at all.

"Probably talked about it." Ning You said, "But I didn't know it was your home."

Li Chao nodded, crossed his hands and put his fingers on his overlapping thighs. Ning You saw that he was buying time and was thinking about how to answer.

Although the two brothers look somewhat similar in appearance, there are obvious differences between them.

Li Chao treats Ning You as he treats his business partners. He always pays attention to polite language, and he will definitely think carefully before answering about the company.

As for Li Mu, don't count on being polite, it's good that he doesn't let Ning You defecate anywhere.

Ning You couldn't help but think of a question. From the perspective of the company, Li Chao is indeed the best candidate for marriage.

Because marriage is not only a business cooperation, but also an in-depth cooperation between two families.After Li Chao and Ning You get married, they will gradually get in touch with Ning's affairs. For the company, it is true that Li Chao needs such a mature and prudent "son-in-law".

Thinking of being mature and stable, Ning You had a headache again, he actually called Brother Li Mu honestly, he almost deleted this memory from his life.

"Environmental protection is a double-edged sword, which is both good and bad for the company." Li Chao said unhurriedly, "Doing a good job in environmental protection can improve the image of the company, but at the same time, we have to sacrifice more interests. . Which approach do you support more?"

The topic was thrown to Ning You again, and it was really a familiar feeling - the routine of city people.

Between the two, Ning You was in an advantageous position, he didn't need to speak carefully, so he said bluntly: "I support environmental protection."

Li Chao's expression didn't change at all, but his eyes obviously became unfathomable.

Ning You deliberately brought up the topic of environmental protection, of course not to discuss the future development of the company with Li Chao, but to secretly express his attitude - he is on Li Mu's side.

He knew that Li Chao was a sensible person, so he believed that with only this little information, Li Chao could hear the deeper meaning - between the two brothers, Ning You and Li Mu were more familiar.

Thinking about it deeply, this is actually a matter of course.

Counting today, Ning You and Li Chao only met three times, while Ning You and Li Mu stayed together for five whole days.

In terms of time, Li Mu is also the one who has the advantage.

Thinking about it further, what happened to Ning You and Li Mu in the past few days is also a thought-provoking question.

Ning You couldn't tell Li Chaoming that he had slept with his younger brother, but he could use this hint to let Li Chao understand that his relationship with Li Mu was not simple, so that he could use Li Chao's reaction to test him Attitude.

Returning to the city from the mountains and forests is not only a change in the atmosphere, but also a change in the way Ning You socializes.

Although he doesn't like this way of talking like Tai Chi, but as a qualified social person, he must consider that there are some unpleasant things that cannot be said on the table.

Judging from Li Chao's eyes, it is obvious that he has received Ning You's message.

He rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "But neither of our two companies takes the route of environmental protection."

"I know." Ning You said, "So what do you think next?"

"Instead of talking about my thoughts, it's better to talk about your thoughts." Li Chao hit the straight ball back again, "Actually, before Li Mu left home, the company seriously discussed whether to let him participate in core affairs, and the result was that All shareholders disagree with his environmentally friendly line."

"Really." Ning You was not surprised, he heard Li Chao's subtext - this has nothing to do with his own thoughts, it is the decision of all shareholders of the company.

Thinking more deeply, the marriage of the two is not only the Li family's business, but also the Ning family's business. Even if Ning You wanted the company to take the environmental protection route, as the chief engineer, he couldn't make this decision, and it was very difficult. Like Li Mu's situation, it may be rejected by all shareholders.

Thinking about it further, maybe Ning's shareholders would never agree to allow the "politically incorrect" Li Mu to be Ning's son-in-law.

Both Li Chao and Ning You had something to say, and they practiced Tai Chi several times, but they had to admit that Ning You's position was indeed a little weaker.

"Ning You, this is a world that looks at money." At the end of mutual testing, Li Chao finally expressed his thoughts, "I like my brother very much, but I will not let him take my place."

Ning You took a deep breath and drank the juice in the glass.

Maybe because he felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Li Chao changed the topic to a lighter one: "Do you know why that brat Li Mu loves environmental protection?"

Ning You shook his head, although he didn't want to continue the chat, but this was a topic he was interested in.

"Because he was studying abroad and accepted some ideas that he considered advanced." Li Chaodao.

"You don't think it's advanced." Ning You said.

"No, I said that I admire him very much, but there are good and bad in everything." Li Chao said.

This statement is very objective, and Ning You cannot refute it.He found that the two brothers were very thoughtful, but they valued different things, so there were differences in ideas, but they respected each other and did not interfere with each other.

"Perhaps," Ning You pondered, "You can set up a special environmental protection department."

"Are you pretending?" Li Chaodao, "The priority of this department must be very low."

"It's not impossible." It's better than nothing.

"Ning You, I know him better than you." Li Chaodao, "He won't like these silly things."

"……really."

Ning You also knew this, he had mentioned the donation to Li Mu, but Li Mu hoped that he would care for the environment from his own perspective.

The atmosphere seemed to become stiff again, Ning You suddenly thought of another thing, and asked, "By the way, how old is he?"

"25." Li Chaodao, "But many people think he is about my age."

25...

This bastard actually asked him to call him brother.

Ning You couldn't laugh or cry, but this emotion quickly passed, and all that was left in his heart was loneliness.

He looked out the window, the sky was getting dark gradually, maybe his expression was not hidden well, Li Chao looked at him and said, "You seem to really don't want to go back."

Ning You was indeed reluctant, but he didn't want to go back.Because about the marriage contract, he can only make specific plans after he goes back.

"No." He looked at the winding and continuous mountains under his feet, and whispered, "I just fell in love with this land."

The plane landed in Jinshi, Li Chao sent Ning You off and returned to his home, it was almost midnight.

He let go of the fatigue of the past few days, turned on the music in the living room, and poured himself a glass of red wine.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the black and gold urban night scene. No matter how deep the night is, there are always vehicles speeding on the golden light strips, forming one after another streams of light.

During a rare time of the day, Li Chao was sipping red wine while admiring the night view, when his cell phone on the sofa rang suddenly.

He looked at the caller ID and couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong?" Li Chao answered the phone.

"Are you home?" A familiar voice rang through the phone.

"Here we are." Li Chao said.

"Are parents okay?"

"Come on, brat." Li Chaodao, "Speak up if you have anything to say."

The other end of the phone fell silent, and Li Mu's calm voice sounded after a while: "I want Ning You."

Li Chao was not surprised. He shook his red wine glass and said nothing: "I'll think about it."
