don't ask about those years

As soon as Lin Fan arrived at the company on Monday, Xue Jing first stood up and looked around the office, then approached him mysteriously and said, "Boss, you are on the news."

"What news?" Lin Fan asked after sitting down, rubbing his temples that were swollen due to lack of sleep.

"You didn't see it!" After Xue Jing finished speaking, she opened her mobile phone interface and placed it in front of his eyes, "Here, you went to the gay wedding, and all the photos of the scene were taken."

After hearing this, Lin Fan quickly raised his hand to pick up the phone, and then saw a photo of himself and Fang Dongping talking next to each other displayed on the screen, and dragged it to the top of the page to see the title "Shanghai Gay Wedding".

Xue Jing observed Lin Fan's reaction and continued: "It seems that your pair of friends are quite famous in the gay circle, and there are quite a few Weibo fans."

As he spoke, he leaned next to Lin Fan and pulled his phone to stop at his photo, "On the Internet, it was said that all the CPs present were all handsome CPs, so I put your photo here too...First of all, I would like to declare that I am absolutely Gay supporters, I have a gay honey myself, but not as lucky as your friend, and now my boyfriend is under pressure from his family to marry him, and the two are breaking up."

Seeing Lin Fan's frown, Xue Jing worried in a low voice and said, "However, there are quite a lot of users of this gossip software. I'm afraid that if someone from the company sees it, they will..." After a bit of a murmur, she said: "Yes. Just guessing..."

"This is the boss of Zhongyue, a client of the company. When I met him in Shanghai, I followed him to attend his friend's wedding." Lin Fan could only pretend to be calm and explain the reason.

"Oh, it's okay, I know that the programmers are all straight men of steel, and I have never doubted the boss." Then he added: "If anyone in the company gossips, I will definitely clear your name for the boss."

Knowing that Xue Jing rarely arrives so early, he dared to come early in the morning to remind him of this matter. Lin Fan was grateful and handed the phone back to Xue Jing while saying, "I saw the plan you made last week, and you need to make adjustments. It has already been marked and sent to you, hurry up and review the revised version, it may be reported to the president today."

"Roger!" Xue Jing took the mobile phone and saluted, then turned and returned to her work station.

After seeing Xue Jing sitting down, Lin Fan settled down first, and then opened a search engine and entered the words "Shanghai Gay Wedding", but he still paused for a moment before pressing the Enter key.

The moment the entries popped up, Lin Fan was shocked by the overwhelming news on the screen, he clicked on a few entries, and he and Fang Dongping's photo could be seen in almost half of the reports.

On the photo above, Dongping is talking to him with his head sideways. Because the scene is very noisy, he can only tilt his head slightly towards Fang Dongping's direction... Although the news did not mention that they are gay lovers, but after adding the title, I want to make people not imagine It is also difficult to connect.

Leaning his back on the seat and taking a deep breath, Lin Fan knew that there was nothing he could do, and now he just hoped that the people in the company would ignore this news.

……

Just after nine o'clock, Lin Fan was rushed to the CEO's office by a phone call from the president's secretary. He thought it might be the worst possible outcome, but before he went up, he still brought the preliminary revised plan with him, like a routine business report. to the 21st floor.

After sitting down at the table, Lin Fan looked at Qi Tian and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Qi Tian sat across the table, put his arm on the handle of the boss chair, stared at him for a while before asking coldly: "Why didn't you come back on Friday?"

After looking at Qi Tian's expression, Lin Fan lowered his head slightly and said, "The meeting ended in the afternoon, and I came back with other colleagues on Saturday. If I miss work and fail to return, feel free to deal with it as you like."

"Did you meet anyone in Shanghai?"

Looking up at Qi Tian's gaze, although the premonition is getting stronger and stronger, he still asks: "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't understand what you mean, but I did meet a few customers of platform companies."

"That's all? No more?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Although the question came out, it seemed that the answer was already obvious.

Qi Tian leaned his head on the back chair, squinted at him from below his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Did Fang Dongping chase you to Shanghai to find you, or did you two make an appointment to go together?"

Sure enough, he saw it, Lin Fan lowered his head and sighed unobtrusively, he knew that Qi Tian's temper would be uncontrollable once he broke out, even in a well-closed office, he didn't want to have a quarrel with Qi Tian in the company, so he said: "If this is the case, I don't think it has anything to do with work..."

"Lin Fan," Qi Tian interrupted him, and then threw out a sentence in a cold tone: "Did you hold back for the past few years, just be a man."

The harsh words passed directly into Lin Fan's ears, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists under the table.

"Speak clearly." Lin Fan looked at Qi Tian and tried his best to speak in a calm voice.

As soon as the words fell, Qi Tian stood up angrily and said: "Speak clearly? How many times have I reminded you?! Who is Fang Dongping, and how many people he has been with? Do you know?! You still don't listen Advise him over and over again, let him in when he comes to your house to find you, and go wherever he leads you, are you an idiot!"

"Of course I have the basic ability to judge right from wrong, so why can't I have friends from the same-sex circle?!"

"Friend? Do you know how chaotic the Shanghai GAY scene is? When he sells you all, you are still foolishly counting money for others! We have only known each other for a few days? You actually followed him to some gay wedding! That's all Love hanging out with him?!"

"What's wrong with homosexuality? Aren't you yourself? And why should you take care of my affairs?!" Lin Fan also turned back angrily.

"Yes, I'm not qualified. I'm fucking cheap. I tell you this every day and you don't even watch it when you start again. What did you say before, that you said you wanted to find a girl, that you thought I was incompetent, and now? I Having a career is still worthless in your eyes. I don’t even understand Lin Fan. If an old man like Fang Dongping finds you, you won’t be able to stand up. Isn’t it too many years since you have been chased by others and is new? You should have said it earlier, If I had known you liked these things, I would have played with you to save the country! Do you think he is chasing you now, do you know what he takes you for? Wait until he gets his hands and then dump you. What do you have to do with those little faces he played with? What's the difference?!"

These vicious words blew into Lin Fan's chest like a hurricane, causing his internal organs to be adjusted, and all his thoughts that were worried about Qi Tian's misunderstanding just now were blown away. There are none left.

Lin Fan looked directly at Qi Tian, ​​and responded with the same ruthless words: "Yes, I really thought you were incompetent before, but now I find that besides incompetence, there are some things in your body that cannot be changed, even if you No matter how successful you are, you are always so self-righteous, the whole world is wrong and you are the only one who is right, now I am glad that after you came back, you let me see it more clearly, and made me feel that the decision at that time was the most correct."

Qi Tian stared at him fiercely for a while, his eyes turned red, and then said in a tone that could freeze his surroundings: "Lin Fan, did I tell you not to force me? That idiot that no matter what you do, I won’t fight back? Let me tell you, as long as you promise me not to see Fang Dongping and me to start over again, we will forget about the past, but you will make me anxious if you insist on going your own way , I really don't know what I can do."

Suddenly thinking of the picture downstairs in the company yesterday, Lin Fan stood up after a pause, then looked back at Qi Tian indifferently and said: "I told you once you came back this time, but you still haven't remembered, then I'll say it again Listen carefully, it is impossible for both of us in this life. The past is the past. From now on, you will go your way and I will go mine. Yes, it is indeed impossible for me to marry a woman in the future, but I just want to find another man. Whether it's Fang Dongping or not, it can never be you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around resolutely and walked to the door of the office. The moment he opened the door, Qi Tian said coldly behind him: "Lin Fan, remember what you said today, and don't come back crying and beg me."

After opening the office door without hesitation, Lin Fan left the 21st floor under the slightly surprised gaze of the secretary.

……

As soon as he returned to his seat in the office, Fang Dongping's phone call came in.

Usually Fang Dongping always sends WeChat during his working hours, so there is probably only one reason for calling so early in the morning.

Lin Fan picked up the phone and walked into the meeting room before answering the phone and saying, "Hello, Brother Dong."

"Lin Fan, go to work now, are you busy?"

"It's okay, I'm not very busy." Lin Fan pinched his brows and said.

"The photos on the Internet... have you seen it?"

"Well, I just saw it this morning."

Fang Dongping sighed from over there, "Maybe some guests or hotel staff put it on the Internet. My friends and they didn't want to make the wedding news this time. Unexpectedly, the photos still leaked... They are looking for someone over there. Contact to delete the post," Fang Dongping hurriedly asked after explaining, "Did it cause you any trouble?"

"It's okay, Brother Dong, not everyone reads these news, and even if they do, it doesn't mean anything." Lin Fan comforted Fang Dongping and comforted himself.

"I really didn't expect such a thing to happen..." Fang Dongping said sincerely apologetically.

"Brother Dong, don't say that, I know you took me there with good intentions that day, don't say I'm fine now, even if something really happened, I don't blame you."

Fang Dongping said a few more words of comfort and apology, and then said that he would contact someone he knew for help as soon as possible, before hanging up the phone.

Sitting in the meeting room, Lin Fan took the mobile phone and turned it over and over in his hand.

At this moment, what disturbs him is not only the photos on the Internet, but also the way Qi Tian treats some things. He doesn't understand how Qi Tian can keep doubting and asking him, while he himself still...

Who are the woman and the child? Did they come back from abroad together in a familiar tone?Are you married or already...?No matter how many times he thought about it, Lin Fan couldn't find a reasonable explanation for these.

If that's the case, why does this person take the trouble to torment himself?

Has it been six years, some things and some people have changed...

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, but it took a while until someone was about to use the conference room before he got up and left.

……

Not long after she decided to work, Xue Jing quietly walked to his work station and said in a low voice, "The photos are gone."

After speaking, he hurriedly held the phone up to Lin Fan to show him, "It was still open in the morning, but now the posts and messages are still there, but your photos are gone."

Lin Fan took the phone, and sure enough, the original location of his photo now shows that it cannot be opened.

"It should have been deleted by the background, and I checked the relevant websites, but I couldn't find any of the photos just now."

Lin Fan nodded, thanked her with his eyes, Xue Jing said "hmm" twice as if he understood, and then walked back to the work station as if nothing had happened.

He still breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the time was short enough. He didn't feel that someone in the company was discussing this matter. After all, it is enough to experience some things once...

Since only his photo was gone, I wanted to thank Fang Dongping, although he didn't know how Fang Dongping did it.

……

……

Dong Yu raised his hand and looked at his watch. He was already busy at this time. He relaxed his back and leaned on the chair and let out a long breath. Looking at the landline phone he had just hung up, he began to recall in his mind from the morning to the present. what happened so far.

In the morning, he and Qi Tian took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they got into the elevator, several tall property workers came in with ladders and stood in front of them like a wall.

He was okay in the corner, but when Qi Tian was standing in the middle, he was completely blocked. He was about to go up and tell the secretary to inform the property not to use the elevator during peak hours, when two little girls squeezed up the moment the door closed.

After the elevator went up, the two little girls began to chat.

"Did you read the headlines yesterday?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Xue Jing and their department heads are on the news."

"Is it the handsome Director Lin who won the grand prize last time? What's wrong!"

"That's right, that's him. It seems that a couple of gay men held a wedding in Shanghai on Friday. The photos of the scene were released, and I saw him and a man in it."

"Ah?! No way! Did you read it wrong?"

"How is it possible? The photos are so clear, and Xue Jing didn't tell me at lunch last week that their boss has gone to Shanghai."

"Oh my god! No way!" Another girl exclaimed in a low voice and then whispered something in the gossip girl's ear.

Then I heard the gossip girl say angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, how can this matter be spread indiscriminately, otherwise Xue Jing won't be able to forgive you." But her tone didn't seem to really want her not to spread the word.

"No, no, I'm just curious to say something nonsense, it's just that I feel a little sorry for being so handsome."

"It's a pity that it's not your turn!"

After muttering and laughing a few more times, the elevator reached the 19th floor and the two went down.

After getting out of the elevator, he felt that Qi Tian's mood was not right. He used to give a slight nod when he saw the greeting staff, but today he turned a blind eye to everyone.

Before he sat down in the office for 5 minutes, Qi Tian called from the internal line and asked him to do two things.

After receiving the instruction, Dong Yu started to do it without any delay. First, he found the photo on the Internet and sent it to all Qi’s public relations media, so that the photo must disappear within two hours, and then asked the HR manager to send the resumes of all the employees on the 19th floor. .

When he found those two people based on his impression and explained to the HR manager, the other party hesitated for a moment before asking, "What is the reason for the dismissal?"

"The president said, just execute it, and they can make compensation up to them. If there is only one request, leave immediately."

Before 11 o'clock, after confirming everything, he called to report to the person who gave the order, and the matter was resolved.

Dong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the computer unconsciously, and brought up the photo just now. The man in a black turtleneck sweater looked very emotional, and he was talking about something with the boss of Zhongyue who he had just investigated a while ago...

"Lin Fan?" Dong Yu said the name to himself.

This is the second time I have noticed this person, why every time when encountering him, Qi Tian changes his calm and calm style of doing things, and becomes a bit - reckless.

Dong Yu met Qi Tian abroad, so it has been six years, but he is not sure whether Qi Tian knows that they have known each other for a long time.

Back then, he stood out in the selection of the Qi's Education Fund, and only got a place in his junior year. He had the opportunity to go to a very famous foreign business school as an exchange student to study for two plus one master's degree.

I didn't see this person when I first started school, until Qi Tian showed up in the classroom a month later.There are more Asian students in their class, and he didn't deliberately communicate with Qi Tian because he is also Chinese.Another main reason is that Qi Tian keeps a cold face all year round and does not have contact with anyone. At that time, he felt that all Qi Tian's energy was not only used to control himself from being disturbed by the outside world, but also another aspect-study.

As a top student since he was a child, he has never studied so tirelessly like Qi Tian. During class, he follows the teacher with great concentration. After class, he is always either in the classroom or in the library.

At that time, he thought that Qi Tian, ​​like many Chinese children, worked so hard to get scholarships. However, after one semester, he was surprised to find that Qi Tian only got a B in most subjects, and only got a C in one subject.

From then on, Qi Tian seemed to work harder, and he often just stayed in the classroom during lunch time to read a book and eat a sandwich casually.

At the end of the second semester, it seems that the hard work finally got an equivalent return, and Qi Tian got an A in all subjects.

One day after that, I remember that when he passed the classroom, he heard Qi Tian ask the professor: "What method can I use to complete the three-year course in two years..."

At that time, he thought that Qi Tian must be crazy. Considering the difficulty of the school's courses, it would be very difficult to successfully defend and get a degree. Even if he used all his sleep time, he would not be able to finish his studies a year ahead of schedule.

However, since then, he felt that Qi Tian probably really didn't sleep anymore.

The library of their university is open all night. Many students like to study here all night before the exam. No matter it is normal or the night before the exam, he can always see Qi Tian studying intently in a corner of the library. Don't lift it completely immersed in various reference books.

However, things changed later, when almost two years into his studies, Qi Tian suddenly disappeared.No one knew what happened. Occasionally, the students would exchange ideas about where the person who only knew how to read had gone, but since Qi Tian didn't interact with anyone, most of them were just like him and didn't really care.

From then until graduation, Qi Tian never appeared again.

As a beneficiary of Qi's Fund, he needs to work in Qi's for at least five years after completing his studies, so he came to work in a company based in the United States after graduation.

After working for about a year, one day an internal email notified the new president to recruit assistants. Everyone can apply through self-recommendation, but since they will return to work in the later period, Chinese people are given priority.Considering that he will return to China sooner or later, he sorted out a resume and sent it over.

When he reached the end of the third round, he was surprised to find that the new president was actually Qi Tian who disappeared from school back then, but Qi Tian didn't seem to recognize him, he just stared at his resume for a while and asked: " Province A?"

"Yes, I arrived in Beijing at university, and started studying in the United States in my junior year."

He intended to let Qi Tian notice that they were alumni of a university, but Qi Tian then asked: "Which city?"

Although he found it strange, he still truthfully said the name of his hometown city.

The moment he heard his answer, Qi Tian stopped from flipping through his resume, looked up at him and froze.

The two of them remained silent for about half a minute. He didn't know what went wrong and he could only wait until he raised his eyes to look at Qi Tian again. See elsewhere.

The next day, he received a personnel notice, and he was to take office in the president's office as soon as possible after handing over his current job.

Since then, he has been following Qi Tian as the assistant to the president, watching how Qi Tian successfully acquired and merged, integrated and listed time after time through precise vision and bold and careful style. The reputation abroad is getting bigger and bigger, and finally brought a lot of high-quality assets back to China.

In the past two years, watching Qi Tian grow up all the way, watching him flex his fists more and more easily in the market, Dong Yu has never doubted that any decision of Qi Tian is correct.

But since coming into contact with Yi Yun, something was wrong.

According to Qi Tian's style, he would never settle the acquisition with a price 15% higher than the original expectation during the negotiations, and after returning to Beijing, he gave up the office of the board of directors at the headquarters and chose to stay in a small company like Yi Yun for a long time.

Opening up the resume of Lin Fan that he got when he selected the outstanding individuals last time, Dong Yu frowned slightly when looking at the picture of this fellow. The one who followed for two years.He seemed to have an illusion that all of Qi Tian's arrangements and decisions were related to this person named Lin Fan. Is it all a coincidence?

Dong Yu turned his head slightly to one side, feeling that his speculation was too unthinkable, so he simply turned off the photo and resume, and he reminded himself again that as an assistant, it is basic common sense to do more and ask less questions, or not to be curious, or that sentence, everything about that person If he decides, he will execute it.
