regardless of

In fact, the intern worry was that during the interval of listening to the speech of the researcher friend just now, I heard someone outside the door talking and walking by.

Amidst the staggered footsteps and uninterrupted voices, he vaguely heard the word "Gu Chou", which was somewhat vague and unreal.

Xi You wasn't sure if Gu Chou was present and someone called this name, or if someone passing by just mentioned Gu Chou.

But no matter what it was, it was enough to make him uneasy.

If it is the former, he looks at people; if it is the latter, he asks questions.

However, as soon as Xi You left the R&D center and glanced over the backs of the group of people, the possibility of the former had already been eliminated.

Xi You stepped forward quickly: "I'm sorry."

The passers-by were two women and one man, holding documents or meeting books in their hands. They looked like they happened to meet during work breaks, so they chatted casually while walking together.

As soon as Xi You finished speaking, two of the girls raised their eyes, and their eyes lit up, asking him what's the matter.

Xi You asked bluntly: "Did you mention 'Gu Chou' just now?"

He hadn't heard the name Gu Chou from people other than Li Pei and his high school classmates for a long time, so there was no need to mention it to the others he met later, those people didn't know about it, so naturally they wouldn't talk about it.Secondly...

Secondly, other people will mention Gu Chou, such as those employees in this building who like to gossip.In the year when Gu Chou first went abroad, he would mention this name from time to time, but as time passed, the news of that person disappeared, and the people working here changed from batch to batch. In the building, topics with his name rarely come up.

It's no wonder that Xi You reacted so strongly after hearing a vague human language.

The name Gu Chou, to him, is like Pavlov's bell.Once in the ear, the conditioned reflex has become a deep-rooted instinct.

But after Xi You asked, the two girls showed doubts and looked at each other, as if they were asking each other: Did we just say that?

A boy who was walking with them reminded him with a speechless face: "You guys just talked about Mr. Zhai and mentioned Young Master Gu."

"Ah, yes." One of the girls responded.

Another girl also remembered it, and explained to Xi You: "Actually, we are talking about Zhai Boss. I heard that Zhai Boss was the senior of Master Gu Chou when he was abroad. Let's just mention it."

In fact, Xi You was not interested in who Zhai Zhai was, but after hearing them talk about Zhai Zhai's relationship with Gu Qiu, he asked one more question: "Zhai Zhai?"

"Mr. Zhai, you don't know?" one of the girls introduced excitedly, "Gu Dong paid a lot of money to poach the CEO from overseas. He just took office last week. He is handsome and young. He is very interesting and kind. .”

The boy next to him rolled his eyes: "Don't be a nympho, Mr. Zhai just rejected a girl from the sales department yesterday. The reason was that he was blunt and said he didn't like little girls."

"It's up to you! I can't appreciate beauty anymore!" the girl retorted.

The other girl was quieter, looking at Xi You with a blushing face: "Can I ask which department you are in, I think you look familiar, but I just can't remember."

The boy was clear about it, so he said to the two of them first: "This is Doctor Xi, not our company. He is half of the non-staff personnel in the research and development of medical equipment and foreign trade."

After he finished speaking, he didn't know whether this definition was accurate, so he turned his head towards Xi You to make sure: "Is that right?"

Xi You didn't respond to this sentence, he seemed to have just pulled out of some kind of contemplation, raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know if Gu Chou has returned to China?"

"Did you ask Young Master Gu?" the quieter girl said, "I don't know, probably not, I haven't heard any news about him."

Another girl who was more lively asked suddenly: "Doctor Xi, what is your relationship with our Young Master Gu? Ask him as soon as you come."

Xi You's eyes moved, and after a slight pause, he answered two words, "classmate".

Without waiting for the other party to ask any more questions, Xi You nodded and said "thank you" to them, then walked around them and left.

The three people in the back stopped at the same place and coveted each other, and for a moment in a daze, the person who came and left suddenly had already gone away.

Xi You didn't go back to the R&D center. He sent a message to the researcher, saying that he had left beforehand, and then at the next turning, he met Mr. Zhai who was mentioned by the three people just now.

Xi You didn't need to deliberately recognize him, he hadn't passed by Mr. Zhai before he heard a few passers-by saying "Hi Mr. Zhai", "Mr. Zhai, good afternoon", "Mr. Zhai, you are here"... such a round Fandi greeted Mr. Zhai who had heard his name before seeing him.

It's hard not to know.

In normal times, Xi You would not listen to this kind of workplace talk.Probably because he was influenced by the two points of information, "This is Mr. Zhai Gu Chou's senior" and "This Mr. Zhai doesn't like little girls", Xi You subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over.

As a result, the other party happened to raise his eyes, and his eyes met.

This President Zhai may be as kind as the two girls said just now, and he smiled at Xi You after just looking at each other.

Xi You withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, and walked past the other side.

What Xi You didn't know was that after he walked a certain distance, that Boss Zhai suddenly turned his lower body, glanced in the direction he left, and asked the people next to him, "Who was that just now?"

Zhai Youchen asked this question quite casually.

Just now he came all the way, and after listening to the greetings all the way, a silent person suddenly appeared, he just happened to look up and saw it, and after seeing it, his face control radar was activated.

The most important thing is that for no reason, he felt the slight hostility released by the young man when he looked at him.

I don't know if it was his delusion.

In short, these together made him raise his eyebrows slightly.

The person traveling with Zhai Youchen was his assistant, Gu Shi, who was airborne with him this time.He didn't know him, and the assistant naturally didn't have much chance of knowing him.

Di Youchen didn't get a valuable answer, so the assistant asked, "Do you need me to check?"

Di Youchen patted the assistant's head with a smile: "What are you doing? Robbing good women and men?"

"..."

The assistant thought, I also saw the one who passed by just now, he was taller than you, with a cold face, and he didn't look "female" at all.

A few days later, Zhai Youchen was invited by Gu Yayun to have dinner in Gu's house.

Seeing Gu Chou, he couldn't help going over to tease him: "Chou'er, long time no see, call Brother Sheng to listen."

Gu Qiu was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading documents, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him: "Long time no see your mother!"

Di Youchen caught the pillow and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, you haven't seen my mother for a long time, haven't you?"

Gu Qiu didn't bother to talk to him.

Di Youchen sat down next to him: "Your vice president hasn't taken office yet, why are you busier than me?"

Gu Chou choked him back with a single sentence: "Naturally, he should be more considerate than hired workers like you."

"..."

Di Youchen was not angry at all, he stretched out his hand with a smile, plucked the stubborn hair on Gu Chou's head, and said, "It's been so many days since you came back, have you gone out to play?"

Gu Chou dodged him for a while, and squinted over: "Are you polite?"

Zhai Youchen clicked his tongue and complained: "I just touched my hair. Don't be so uncute, I've never seen you have a boyfriend, but you are very strict."

He muttered: "I don't know which Bai Yueguang guarded it."

Gu Qiu kicked him.

Di Youchen slid halfway off the sofa.

"I don't like such a vicious younger brother."

"Then you still rush over to eat."

"Gu Dong is sympathetic to his subordinates, and it seems so ignorant for his subordinates to not appreciate it."

Gu Chou yelled "Mom" directly, and raised his voice: "Can you turn off this annoying thing now?"

Gu Yayun was half-hidden from the front line last year, except that she would appear in Gu's for necessary work, and spent most of her time in the United States with her son.

When people are not on the front line and do not need to be present in person, the sharp edges and corners will be smoothed by a quiet life.

Gu Yayun was preparing dishes in the kitchen with the chef at home at the moment, and she replied, "Yes, you can take the position of President Zhai."

"..."

Di Youchen looked at Gu Chou's expressionless expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is the position of Gu's CEO still a hot potato?"

Gu Chou is Gu Yayun's only son, the only heir of the Gu family, and has an MBA degree from MIT. Gu Yayun really wants to put him in the CEO position, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, in the past few years, apart from completing his studies, Gu Chou has only cared for his health, and has never really had any contact with the workplace.The old foxes on the board of directors put a lot of emphasis on practical experience, and secondly, they knew about Gu Chou's condition. Even if Gu Yayun tried her best to let Gu Chou take the position of CEO, Gu Chou would inevitably have to fight with them.

She didn't want her son to be so tired.

So when Gu Chou offered to review Shi, Gu Yayun didn't give him the option of the CEO position at all.

Gu Chou could naturally guess the reason, but he had no objection to it, and accepted Gu Yayun's arrangement without exception.

As for Gu Yayun's reply to make him stand up, they all knew that it was just a joke.

Zhai Youchen said that he regards this position as a hot potato, and at a certain level, it is true.

In the past, Gu Chou might really have had a fight, fighting the old fox or not, to him, it was not a scary thing.

Probably because after Gu Yayun stepped back from the front line, she was not as sharp as before, and her person became softer, so that Gu Chou often felt that she should live such a peaceful and peaceful life.

Since you must look back on your family, it is better to find a "leisure job".

So when Zhai Youchen finished asking, Gu Qiu answered honestly: "I'm sick, and I want to live longer." It means, you can take the anger of those directors; you can go to those daily tasks. Dry.

After Gu Chou finished speaking, Zhai Youchen pulled the document in his hand: "You also know that you are a sick patient, and you said you wanted to take a rest, but I didn't see you taking a break."

Gu Chou was speechless: "I say that, you really dare to accept it. I am in great health now."

Talking about going to grab the documents, Zhai Youchen threw the documents on the sofa on the other side, moved his body, and blocked Gu Qiu's way to get the documents: "Tell me, what are you hiding?"

"?"

"Gu Dong said that you have been back for half a month, and you haven't been out of the house once." Zhai Youchen narrowed his eyes, "I think the spring breeze of the motherland is much more gentle than that of the US emperor."

"Are you blind?" Gu Chou glanced out the window, the cold wind outside was blowing fiercely.

Zhai Youchen still smiled: "In a few days, Wansheng, there is a venue that is very fun, with brother?"

The cold wind blew violently for several days, driving the temperature in the northern capital to below zero.

On Halloween, the first snow fell like this.

Xi You was on day shift today. Before leaving get off work, he looked out the window. There was a thin layer of snow outside, and the place where pedestrians stepped on was full of muddy snow water.

He thought there was nothing important to do, so he simply didn't go back to school, and spent a night in the hospital dormitory to catch up with his SCI.

As soon as he left the department, he was caught by the same senior brother who came to arrest him.

This fellow neurosurgery fellow is named Sang Zhao. Recently, he was in the emergency department during his shift, and he was as busy as a dog every day.At the moment it is rare to have a happy expression, but he is a little panting after running all the way.

He grabbed Xi You's white coat sleeve and asked, "Are you resting tonight?"

Xi You made a "hmm", thinking that he was about to receive a request for a replacement that he was accustomed to, but Sang Zhao changed from pulling his sleeve to grabbing his arm: "Me too! Let's go back to the dormitory to change clothes. Let's go to a lively place to celebrate Halloween."

"..."

Xi You's first reaction was to refuse, he never liked to join in the fun, he liked to be alone and quiet, and everyone around him knew it.

And Sang Zhao made a plan for being rejected at a glance. Before Xi You could say anything, he had already sold out.

"Oh, my Dr. Xi, Dr. Xi, how busy we are every day, isn't it enough to love and work hard? It's hard for the two of us to take a break today, let's go out and relax. Brother, don't come to some entertainment activities. I'm going to die of exhaustion on the job of an angel in white."

"..."

Xi You remembered that Sang Zhao had developed a high fever from exhaustion just a week after he went to the emergency room, and the words of refusal came to his lips, but he still didn't say it.

The two went back to school together, and when Xi You changed his clothes after taking a shower, Sang Zhao raised his chin and said dissatisfiedly: "Handsome is handsome, but this is too normal. The place we will go to later, you If it’s too normal, it will appear abnormal. Come up with some tricks, my worry, and don’t waste your face.”

The trainee worry didn't have any intention of taking any action, so Sang Zhao paused the action of applying foundation, walked to the cabinet, took out a white coat that she usually kept in school, and suggested sincerely: "How about you pretend to be Let’s make an image of a ghost doctor, I’ll draw some eyeshadow and black lips for you later, and you put on this white coat.”

It's a ghost that Xi You can accept this suggestion.

He put on his coat, took a scarf from the hanger, and said "I'll wait for you downstairs" before withdrawing as a respect.

Sang Zhao shouted loudly from behind: "Let me tell you, she's absolutely handsome! I'm sure you'll be sure to catch a girl!"

Later, when he was about to enter the carnival venue, Sang Zhao was still muttering to him: "You, you are too boring."

He touched the magic robe on his body, and was very satisfied with his Harry Potter outfit today, but while he was satisfied with himself, he did not forget to continue to mutter Xiyou: "Do you think you are addicted to being single? Usually you refuse college, Forget about those girls in the hospital. I will treat you as someone who doesn’t like looking for peers. Today is such a great opportunity. There are all kinds of girls. When you come, try to get in touch with some girls. As always."

Xi You didn't bother with these nagging, because he had heard too much, and he couldn't bother him if he wanted to.

Most of the time, he listens to what he hears and gives some feedback. As for the result...

What should I do.

So in the end, it's usually the nagging person who gets annoyed first.

Sang Zhao was like this. After Xi You replied, "I think SCI is more interesting", he completely gave up lobbying this young fellow.

After entering the arena, he left Xi You a sentence of "You do what you want", and then blended into the crowd and rushed to socialize.

The venue is very large. In addition to a large dance floor, there are various small partitions on the scene, and each partition is decorated with a different theme.

Most of the people are concentrated on the dance floor, and there are people in each theme room, especially the popular theme area, which is even more crowded. Coupled with the different attires of the people passing by, it is colorful as far as the eye can see.

Xi You originally planned to find an unpopular and quieter theme area to stay. After walking for a while, he seemed to be unconscious and stopped in front of a theme area.

There are many people in this area, especially girls.

They wore different kinds of costumes and dressed up as their favorite characters. When they passed by or walked in, they would unconsciously raise their heads and look at the huge picture of Cinderella posted on the partition wall.

Xi You did the same, looking up.

He thought of many years ago.

I remembered that one year when the third middle school started, he got into a fight because he called a boy "Cinderella".

Thinking of someone who lost the test paper competition with him, and then said "I am Cinderella" three times a day, and said it intermittently for seven days.

I still remembered that person's birthday that year. He sent out a projection lamp. When the lamp was turned on, it shone on the ground, and the white light condensed into a simple Cinderella holding a cake.

……

The Cinderella in the pictorial in front of him, wearing a golden hair crown, wearing a lake blue tutu skirt, and wearing crystal high heels, is obviously not at all like the person in his memory, but the three words "Cinderella" are exactly the same. At this moment, at this very moment, killing madness in his mind.

He suddenly pursed his lower lip tightly, and the tip of his teeth crushed hard on his lip, as if he wanted to use this to suppress some kind of pain.

But it didn't work.

He decided to leave the area, and just about to turn around, someone sprinted past behind him, knocking him forward.

This inclination is like a bus full of people suddenly stopping suddenly, and people are falling in one direction inertially.

So, he bumped into the person in front, and the person in front bumped into the person in front, and the person in front bumped into the person in front...

Sorry one sentence after another, starting from Xi You, and spreading to the front one after another.

Xi You was ready to leave, but because of the crowd, he took a step back.

In this moment of slow walking, he saw a familiar face.

Gu Chou was originally standing very close to the pictorial, looking up.

He was the last person to be knocked over, so he turned his head impatiently with a frown.

When he turned around, he never looked away.

The two looked at each other across a short sea of ​​people.

Xi You's gaze was fixed on Gu Chou without blinking for a moment.

He was dressed in women's clothes, just as they had been when they first met.
