Rebirth of a powerful marriage

Chapter 64: You don't care, but I do.

Lu Zhaoming didn't sleep well all night, and had several messy dreams one after another. In the dream, he saw Zhuang Ning for a while, and Xu Zitai for a while. Both of them seemed to want to say something to him, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

After waking up the next morning, Lu Zhaoming recalled the scene in his dream while shaving his stubble, thinking what they would say to him, it would definitely not be a good thing.

After washing his face, he found that the bruises under his eyes were still obvious, and he looked so haggard that when he went downstairs, Li Xuecai asked with concern: "Mr. Lu, did you not have a good rest last night? Just take a day off and rest at home."

"No need." Lu Zhaoming waved his hand, thinking that Xu Zitai didn't know what was going on in the company, so he still had to go and see for himself to be at ease.

While eating breakfast, looking at the vacant seat on the other side, Lu Zhaoming felt that he had no appetite and felt extremely lonely.

Xu Zitai didn't sleep well that night either.

He felt that after his identity was exposed, his marriage with Lu Zhaoming was also in jeopardy. It was really hard to say whether Lu Zhaoming would still earnestly fulfill their previous agreement.

This gave him a strong sense of urgency, and he felt that he must seize the time to implement the plan and produce results.

At that time, if the research and development of the plan is really successful, even if Lu Zhaoming doesn't care about the relationship between the two of them, it is impossible for him to resist the huge temptation brought by the technological innovation of the jump based on his sensitivity to commercial value alone.

As long as Lu Zhaoming and the shareholder meeting behind him approve this technology, the brand of "Peak Tour" will be preserved, and he will be considered to have fulfilled his wish and retire.

This morning, Xu Zitai went to the technical department early in the morning. Seeing Zhou Lin coming, he discussed with him the implementation of the plan, added many possible problems and solutions that he predicted during the research and development process, and asked Zhou Lin to record them one by one.

Zhou Lin felt strange while listening, and couldn't help asking: "Master Zhuang, are you... in a hurry to leave? Why do I have the illusion that you are explaining something?"

Xu Zitai smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, and I'm not sure how long I can stay here, so I will tell you everything I can think of. Even if I leave in the future, there will still be you in this group. With members of the whole team, you can continue to work on the project, and I can feel a little more at ease."

The more Zhou Lin heard it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and asked, "Young Master Zhuang, is something wrong? You have a bad relationship with Mr. Lu?"

Xu Zitai shook his head, but did not answer.

At this time, an employee came over and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhuang, when I came in just now, I seemed to see Mr. Lu standing outside, did he come to look for you?"

Xu Zitai turned his head and looked in the direction of the entrance of the technical department, and he saw Lu Zhaoming standing not far from the door, looking at him silently.

Xu Zitai then said to Zhou Lin: "Group Leader Zhou, please write down what I said first, and I will add something to you later if I think of anything."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door, came to Lu Zhaoming, and asked calmly, "Boss Lu wants me for something?"

Lu Zhaoming was very depressed, and said in a low voice, "Can you stop calling me Mr. Lu?"

Xu Zitai pretended to be confused: "You are the boss of the company, I am an employee of the company, I don't call you Mr. Lu, what is that called?"

Lu Zhaoming frowned and squinted at Xu Zitai.

Xu Zitai was a little scared by him, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Lu Zhaoming raised his chin and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the rooftop to chat?"

"Then let's go." Xu Zitai thought to himself, it's just a divorce, and he wants to go to the rooftop, so it's necessary to make such trouble.

But there was no impatient expression on his face, both of them had come to this point, he was going to see what Lu Zhaoming wanted, and he would let him do what he wanted.

The two entered the president's exclusive elevator, leading directly to the top floor.

In the elevator, Lu Zhaoming smiled to himself: "Xiao Ning—no, now I should call you Xu Zitai——I found that through this period of getting along with you, I can kind of figure out your temper .”

Xu Zitai frowned, what kind of opening remarks is this?But facing Lu Zhaoming, he still asked with a good temper: "Have you figured out my temper? Tell me, what kind of temper do I have?"

"You seem to be very talkative, but you are very stubborn. You have decided to do what you want to do, no matter what the price is, you must implement it."

Lu Zhaoming paused, and continued: "Also, you seldom get angry, but that doesn't mean you won't get angry, and the way you get angry is also very awkward. The more you have to pretend nothing happened."

Xu Zitai looked at Lu Zhaoming, and was about to open his mouth, when he heard Lu Zhaoming say, "Don't rush to deny it, because you are just like this now."

Xu Zitai's words were blocked back, and he looked at him helplessly: "Then tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"I know that your biggest wish now is to successfully develop the grafting method of the jump technology, and finally save the 'Peak Tour' and the entire technical team. I am a person who keeps my promises. Since I promised you before, I will give you a good deal." I will not unilaterally renege on the contract if I test the results over a period of one year."

"Really?" Xu Zitai couldn't hide his surprise on his face.

Lu Zhaoming smiled and pointed to his heart: "Now, don't you feel a little smoother in your heart?"

Xu Zitai choked on him again.

"As for our marriage..." Lu Zhaoming was halfway through the sentence when the elevator door suddenly opened, and an electronic sound reminded them that they had arrived on the rooftop.

Lu Zhaoming took the lead and said, "Let's go out and talk."

Xu Zitai was hung up by his words, so he could only follow him out and asked, "What's wrong with our marriage?"

Lu Zhaoming walked slowly to a rattan chair, sat down, looked at the buildings row upon row under the tall buildings, and the few floating clouds above the buildings, exhaled and said: "Honestly speaking, about the two of us I have no intention of getting a divorce."

Xu Zitai stopped in front of Lu Zhaoming, with a stiff expression on his face: "Why?"

Lu Zhaoming raised his head and looked at him: "Look, your heart is not smooth again."

"Why don't you plan on getting a divorce?" Xu Zitai didn't bother to discuss with him whether it was smooth or not, and continued the previous topic and asked, "Since you already know that I am not Young Master Zhuang, why do you want to maintain this nominal marriage?"

"Even if I believe that you are not Zhuang Ning, in the eyes of outsiders, you are Zhuang Ning. Do you want to announce to the world that you are not Zhuang Ning, you are Xu Zitai who came back from the dead? This is unrealistic."

As Lu Zhaoming said, he spread his hands: "Since you married into the Lu family as Zhuang Ning, isn't it only natural that you continue to stay in the Lu family as Zhuang Ning?"

"But can you accept me like this? The person you like is Zhuang Ning, not Xu Zitai. Now that you know that I am not Zhuang Ning, don't you feel awkward when you face me?"

"I think you made a mistake." Lu Zhaoming looked at him seriously. "I have no contact with the former Zhuang Ning. I said that I like Zhuang Ning. It was a complete misunderstanding. You should know that I like it." Yes, it's you who is now wearing Zhuang Ning's skin."

"But that's not really me."

"I don't care, I know it's your soul that I like, and that's all right."

"You don't care, but I do. I don't want to put on other people's clothes and get involved in a muddle-headed relationship." Xu Zitai said, "Are you sure you like me? Maybe you just like people with my personality It's just Zhuang Ning."

Lu Zhaoming opened his mouth, but did not speak.He originally thought that after a night of thinking, he had already sorted out his feelings very clearly, but now hearing what Xu Zitai said, he was a little confused again.

Xu Zitai reached out to him and said, "Give me your mobile phone."

"doing what?"

"you give me first."

Lu Zhaoming had no choice but to take out the phone and hand it to him.

Xu Zitai turned on his phone, connected to the Internet, entered Xu Zitai's personal homepage, randomly found a photo of him attending a certain banquet in suits and shoes, downloaded the photo to his phone, and handed it back to Lu Zhaoming.

"This is my own photo," Xu Zitai said, "If you can still get angry looking at this photo, come and talk to me about whether you love me or not."

Then Xu Zitai left.

Lu Zhaoming stared blankly at the photo on the phone, with a bitter expression on his face, this... this does not conform to his aesthetics.

For the next few days, Xu Zitai lived in the company's staff dormitory and never went back to the Lu residence.

Lu Zhaoming, on the other hand, struggled with the photo that Xu Zitai left him every day, alone.

He understood what Xu Zitai meant. Xu Zitai didn't want muddled feelings, so if he wanted to love him, he had to accept his past and his original appearance, otherwise everything would be out of the question.

To be honest, he and Xu Zitai have the same view on love.But because of this, he felt more and more entangled.

Every time he closes his eyes, he thinks of Zhuang Ning's face and the memories that Zhuang Ning brought him, but as soon as he turns on his phone and sees Xu Zitai himself, all the tenderness in his heart disappears.

He likes the type who is thin and petite and easy to push down. Even if his appearance is ugly, as long as his personality is compatible, he won't mind too much.But Xu Zitai's burly figure, which was comparable to his own, was really not his thing.

He also finally understood how aggrieved Xu Zitai felt when he begged Xu Zitai to "save the world" for him.If it were him, let alone having sex with the other party, he would feel very awkward even holding hands.

He was so obsessed with this matter day and night that he almost made himself mad, and even dreamed of Zhuang Ning often. He pouted and wanted to kiss Zhuang Ning's face. At first, Zhuang Ning was shy and shy and wanted to refuse. Welcome, but in the blink of an eye, the other party turned into Xu Zitai's appearance, sneering at him mockingly.

He was tortured by nightmares for three days in a row.

On the fourth day, when he came to the company in a daze, the secretary handed him a cup of coffee as usual.

She glanced at Lu Zhaoming and asked, "Mr. Lu, have you...have you been overworked these days? You look very bad."

Lu Zhaoming also knew that his mental state looked poor, so he waved his hands weakly and said, "What's the schedule for today?"

The secretary opened his schedule and reported: "There are two short video conferences in the morning, one at the headquarters and one at the branch. I will go to City C to discuss business at two o'clock in the afternoon. The itinerary is two days, but..."

Lu Zhaoming asked, "But what?"

"This trip, you originally planned for the two heads of the sales department and the technical department to go with you. But just 10 minutes ago, Shi Wei, the head of the technical department, called and said that he had a bad meal last night. Stomach, has been vomiting and diarrhea all night, and is still lying in the hospital. So..."

"It seems that Shi Wei can't go." Lu Zhaoming frowned and thought.

Generally, if you can't go to the main job, you will be replaced by a deputy. Since the merger of the two groups of A and B, the technical department has promoted Zhou Lin, the leader of group B, to be the deputy director. If Shi Wei can't go, Zhou Lin is the best candidate to replace him.but……

Lu Zhaoming pondered for a moment and said, "Since Shi Wei can't go, let the consultant go instead."

"Consultant?" The secretary was taken aback. Since the last hijacking incident, many people in the company knew that Yu Zixu's real identity was Zhuang Ning, and this secretary was no exception.

She sneaked a glance at Lu Zhaoming, thinking, President Lu and Mrs. Lu are so inseparable that they don't even want to be separated during a short two-day business trip.

Seeing that she was silent for a while, Lu Zhaoming raised his head and glanced at her.

The secretary immediately said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I will notify you right away."

The author has something to say: [A behind-the-scenes tidbit here]

Lu Zhaoming: Taitai, they all say that I am not good enough for you...Please comfort me~~

Xu Zitai: Well, I also think you are not good enough for me.

Lu Zhaoming: ...I'm so frustrated, I want to stop acting_(:з」∠)_

Xu Zitai: (Turning his head) Director, why don't we discuss changing the minor attack?

Lu Zhaoming: Hahaha, it is impossible to stop acting!The director abused me thousands of times, I treat the director like first love!

Xu Zitai: Oh?The director is your first love, so what am I?

Lu Zhaoming: ... Wife.
