The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

It was deep winter, and there had been light snowfall in the city for two consecutive days, and the trees along the streets were covered with festive lights, ready to welcome Christmas.The temperature is getting lower and lower, but there is no shortage of people on the street, and occasionally you can see young people playing snowball fights in twos and threes.

The really depressed and cold one is Huo's headquarters.

With layoffs and voluntary resignation, more than half of the employees have been lost. During this period of time, almost every day, people can be seen cleaning up the workstations with cardboard boxes, saying goodbye to good colleagues, and leaving without looking back.But no matter whether it is an employee who has been laid off or resigned, there is no trace of reluctance when parting.

Even the employees who are still on duty are mostly looking for horses on donkeys, ready to be the next to leave at any time.

In just a few months, Huo's has fallen from the peak to the bottom at an extremely fast speed. Not only the company's operation has almost stagnated, but even the public's reputation has collapsed.Until now, netizens haven't forgotten what happened some time ago. What happened to Huo Yuanshan's family has even aroused heated discussions among the public. For a while, the husband and wife of the Huo Group's president seemed to be a pair of doves and magpies' nests. son of a ghost.

Even if you are just a wage earner in Huo's, you will be pointed out behind your back and advised these employees to change jobs as soon as possible and stay away from the scumbag boss.

And the biggest benefit this incident brought to the Huo family was probably that it saved a lot of layoffs.After all, let's not talk about profit now, they are already very busy with where the employees' wages will come from next month.

To make matters worse, the government has sent a team to Huo's Finance Department to investigate.No one knew what happened, and the only rumors heard by the bottom-level employees were reports of Huo's tax evasion, false trade and other acts.But just a little wind is enough for everyone to feel insecure.

Huo Yuanshan had already been taken away for investigation, and Huo Chuhong finally took control of the entire Huo family as he had wished.

It's just that he never expected to face such a scene in this way.

The big office of the operation department where he used to work, now there are only two or three employees left, but they are absent-minded at work every day, and occasionally they can secretly open the recruitment software to submit resumes.

And that independent office has not been cleaned for many days, the dust is all over the table, and there are scattered papers on the floor.It's just because the Huo family can't pay the wages to hire cleaners.Even the trash can in the president's office is emptied by him every day.

For some reason, Mrs. Huo's condition suddenly deteriorated one day last month, and now she can only rely on the nasal intubation ventilator to maintain her life. More than half of the day is half asleep and half awake, and during the few waking hours, she is also sleepy. Just screaming for pain in a weak voice.

Both parents are under the control of government personnel, only Huo Chuhong is free, and he can only visit grandma every day.There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention that now he himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, a mess.

Mrs. Huo no longer had the strength to reprimand the nurses. She was being ruthlessly played around every day, and the nasal intubation made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Every time she saw Huo Chuhong, she would beg him to sign an agreement to give up treatment, so that she would get sick again next time , don't rescue, let yourself end the pain earlier.

At first, Huo Chuhong coaxed grandma, saying that everything would be fine.But over time, he finally collapsed under the pressure of several parties.

When grandma once again said that she wanted to die, Huo Chuhong threw the vase on the table where flowers were placed on the ground, and roared angrily, "You die easily, leaving me to wipe your butt?" If you hadn’t encouraged my father to do such wicked things, would our family have fallen into this situation! Let me tell you, Huo’s is already facing bankruptcy and liquidation, and my parents are likely to go to jail , I am left alone to clean up the mess in this place, and I still have to be stabbed in the back, old woman, do you know what people on the Internet are calling me now! If it weren't for you...if it wasn't for you, how could I be here Bu Tiandi! Didn’t you always say that I am a good grandson? A good grandson is filial piety, so I tell you, grandma, I can’t sign the agreement. Even if you are full of tubes, I will let you live, not just me One person bears all the pain!!"

After Huo Chuhong yelled, he was so emotional that he even stood up, staring at Mrs. Huo like a wolf, as if he was going to step forward to strangle this old man like a dying candle to death in the next second.

And Mrs. Huo looked at him in horror, lying on the hospital bed with nowhere to escape, her breathing was so intense that she could see the rise and fall of her chest.She seemed to be trembling like chaff after seeing black and white impermanence coming to claim her life. Never in her dreams would she have imagined that her only beloved grandson, who was once pampered by thousands of people, has now become the devil in her life.

Mrs. Huo was about to faint soon, but Huo Chuhong turned away without even looking at her.

He has to go back to the company to handle official business.

This was what he dreamed of once, to have absolute control over the Huo family, and everyone could only follow his instructions.Now, the only instruction he can give is to approve the layoffs and order the public relations department to stabilize the mood of the employees.

He went back in a special car, not saying a word all the way.Because even this business car may be sold off in the near future.

The driver who drove the car has not received his salary for two months and will change jobs next week.

Huo Chuhong suddenly felt that he was the only one left in this world. Everything in the past was like a dream. The so-called good popularity and well-developed social circle are now illusory.Everyone wanted to hide as far away from him as possible, as if... as if in his eyes, the former Huo Chuxiao.

When the car arrived in front of the company, Huo Chuhong got out of the car after he had collected his emotions.After all, this was his last bit of face.

However, before entering the building, a figure suddenly appeared from the crowd, threw several eggs towards him, and shouted: "Huo Chuhong, you are a little scum born of scum! "

Soon the man was subdued by the security guards of the building, but everyone was looking at Huo Chuhong, with contempt and contempt in their eyes, but no pity.

At that moment, Huo Chuhong suddenly felt that his whole world had collapsed.

It's over, he said to himself, it's all over.

Huo Chuxiao curled up on the sofa at home, the floor heating made the whole room warm, and my sister-in-law sat aside, chatting with him.

He basically knew everything about the Huo family, but he had no intention of continuing to read it.He just handed in his resignation letter to Qin Huai a few days ago, and he planned to run his business completely at home, and he still had Chu Boya's cover design in hand, so he really didn't have time to pay attention to other people's excitement.

He didn't get involved in the uproar on the Internet, but it still had some impact on his life.

The number of fans has inexplicably increased.

A large part of them should have visited Huo's Weibo out of sympathy after watching Huo's farce, but in the end they were accidentally amazed by the work, so they stayed.

At least he thought so.

The sister-in-law took a sip of coffee and said, "Xiaoxiao, I think I'm going back to Europe in a while, and your elder brother has also withdrawn. That kid slipped faster than me. I originally planned to stay for a while, at least until Huo's investigation is over. But the United States kept calling him to go back, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he flew back directly last night."

Huo Chuxiao let out an "ah", "Brother is gone?"

Sister-in-law just wanted to laugh when she mentioned this. Originally, Huo Chuming planned to meet Chuxiao's marriage partner. In his words, "Look at what kind of wonderful thing Huo Yuanshan chose for him." It was too late to say hello. It is said that the American company headquarters sent someone over and dragged him directly from the hotel to the airport.

Not to mention how ridiculous that scene was, Huo Chuming, such a stingy person, was so intimidated by a little-known little assistant that he dared not speak up, followed him to pull the suitcase alone, and got into the taxi with a dark face.It was also the first time my sister-in-law saw someone who could treat him submissively.

Thinking about it now, the two probably had other intersections besides their working relationship.

The aunt thought with satisfaction, that's okay, Huo Chuming is just a thorn in the side, wandering overseas alone, it's better to have someone to take care of him and take care of him.

Speaking of the other half... the sister-in-law couldn't help but look at Huo Chuxiao.

The other party still looked like he didn't care about anything other than painting, and it was a big heart to be able to live with Ji Zongming for so long.

She had been in frequent contact with Ji Zongming during this period, so she couldn't see what the boy was thinking, but when she thought that this was a marriage arranged by Huo Yuanshan's family, my sister-in-law felt jealous of this person, not to mention that she investigated and found that Ji Zongming At first, he was definitely not kind to Huo Chuxiao, and he looked fierce, not easy to mess with, so he was not a good match no matter what.

The only advantage is probably that he keeps himself clean and rarely goes to sensual occasions.But at the same time, he is a workaholic, in another sense disregarding his family.

In her eyes, what Huo Chuxiao needs is someone who is caring and caring, who can have a common language with him, who is gentle and gentle.

Two days ago, she accompanied Huo Chuxiao to Jingjie to submit her resignation letter, but it was interesting to meet his boss.

Some time ago, Huo Chuxiao took a week's personal leave and finally returned to work. It was something worth celebrating, but Qin Huai was stunned when he saw the resignation letter from the other party before he had time to be happy.

However, this result seemed to be within his expectations. After all, Huo Chuxiao had said long ago that he didn't like teaching. Now that his popularity has risen, he can completely undertake projects on his own, so naturally he doesn't need to go to work.

Qin Huai was actually quite happy for him, especially after experiencing Huo's incident.

Not only him, but everyone else in the studio did not expect Mr. Huo to look free and easy and calm, and come from a wealthy family with no worries about food and clothing, but in reality, he has such a tortuous background, and now he is completely at odds with his family, a bit unaccompanied Meaning, I was waiting for him to develop a good relationship with colleagues after he resumed work, but now it seems that it is useless.

Although according to the regulations, you can't leave on the same day, but Qin Huai made an exception for Huo Chuxiao, so that he can leave whenever he is ready, but no matter what, he has to go out for a drink with his colleagues, after all, he has worked together for more than half a year , not to mention people, the cats in the studio are reluctant to part with him.

Huo Chuxiao agreed, left the studio, and went back with my sister-in-law.

Along the way, my sister looked back frequently, and whispered to him: "That handsome guy, is your boss? I remember the last time I came to the studio to look for you, and I met him once. I thought he was a teacher who taught painting."

Huo Chuxiao didn't hear the interest in Qin Huai revealed in her words, so he said that he was also from a wealthy family, but he was relatively low-key, and occasionally taught painting.

When the sister-in-law heard it, she immediately cheered up.

That guy looks as old as Chu Xiao, has a good family background, and is a painter just like him, and from the previous contact, he is a gentleman and polite, and he speaks and does things with a sense of proportion. No matter how you look at it, I think it's a good match ah.

He is a better match than that kid Ji Zongming.

The sister-in-law then made indirect remarks and asked Chu Xiao how she felt about him. Although she didn't expect her nephew, who was not enlightened, to say anything that would satisfy her, she was still a little discouraged when she really heard the other party say "I don't feel it".

If Chu Xiaofan had a crush on him, she decided to come forward to match her up.However, since she didn't feel it, she couldn't force him to go on a blind date.

When he got home, he found that there was an extra coat on the coat rack. Huo Chuxiao could tell at a glance that it belonged to Ji Zongming.

Boss Ji has been working overtime at the company for three days. He heard that the game was a great success after it was released. Many manufacturers have offered olive branches for cooperation, and there are still some magazine interviews that need to be prepared. He has been busy all of a sudden.

It's only eleven o'clock in the noon, and he came home suddenly, probably driven back by his secretary, fearing that he would continue to suffer like this. The next news in AZ was that the young CEO dedicated himself to the company and died suddenly in the office after 70 hours all night.

When he entered the room, he found that the door of Ji Zongming's bedroom was half-closed, and he could hear the sound of sleeping breathing from inside.

Through the crack of the door, Huo Chuxiao saw Ji Zongming lying on the bed. He was lying on his stomach without a pillow. With his head tilted, he could see a pair of eyes tightly closed under his slightly messy bangs, with bruises in his eyes. , looking tired.

He was still wearing the clothes he had worn at work, his shoes had not been taken off, and the curtains had not been drawn. It was obvious that he fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room and passed out.

As a newly started freelancer, Huo Chuxiao suddenly empathized with his exhaustion, walked in lightly, helped him close the curtains, then gently closed the door, turned around and made a boo gesture to my sister-in-law, saying: " He's catching up on sleep in there."

My sister-in-law was a little surprised at Chuxiao's thoughtfulness, she never thought that her nephew would be so good at taking care of others, but then she thought again, no, not even Ji Zongming.

From this point of view, he is a big career man who doesn't love others. If the two of them really live together like this in the future, wouldn't it make her family busy in and out of Chuxiao?

Moreover, Huo Chuxiao doesn't look like a person who can take care of himself. Just sitting in front of the easel and painting for a day without eating or drinking, how do these two people live?

Taking advantage of Ji Zongming sleeping inside, the sister-in-law pulled Huo Chuxiao and said earnestly: "Does the contract you have with him still count?"

Huo Chuxiao didn't understand, so he said, "Do the math, isn't there still a few months left?"

The little aunt said in her heart that in a few months, judging from the way the two of them get along now, they might have already finished everything and divorced.

"Chuxiao, think about it, why did you two get married in the first place?"

The sister-in-law took his hand and sat down on the sofa, while being persuasive.

Huo Chuxiao thought for a while, "Because Huo and Ji want to cooperate."

"That's right," my sister slapped her thigh, "Now that the Huo family is fucked up, is there any need to maintain this marriage?"

oh?Huo Chuxiao tilted his head.

Makes sense.

Didn't he agree to maintain the marriage for one year just to repay the Huo family's dispensable kindness of nurturing?Now the Huo family don't talk about the company, according to what is said in the news now, soon this family will be buried in the soil, and those in prison will be imprisoned, and the family will be gone immediately. Will his kindness be returned to the ghost?

Thinking about it this way... my sister is right, he and Ji Zongming can be untied.

Seeing Huo Chuxiao's eyes light up, my sister-in-law was really relieved.It's okay, that kid Ji Zongming has to keep himself clean. His mother has been solo for so long, and he can't chase people. After living together for more than half a year, let alone pierce the window paper, Huo Chuxiao still hasn't noticed anything.

From this point of view, as long as Chu Xiao mentions it, the two of them will be able to file a divorce certificate in a short time.

She can go back to Europe with confidence.

As for Ji Zongming, if he really has the heart, he can come back again.If it was just a passing interest, Chu Xiao would just be free again.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden movement in the bedroom. It seemed that the slap on his thigh just now woke up Ji Zongming.

The man got up from the bed, as if he had been in a coma for three days, and walked out while frowning to adapt to the light, and touched a cup to pour water to drink.

He glanced at the two people on the sofa through the slits of his eyes, and said casually, "Are you back?"

Huo Chuxiao opened his mouth and before he could speak, the sister-in-law said first: "Well, I will leave in a few days, so I won't bother you. Come early and say goodbye."

Ji Zongming raised his eyebrows, and was a little happy to see the accident, but his tone was still light: "Oh, have a good trip."

But I thought in my heart: finally left, this sister-in-law got in the way and died... Originally, Huo Chuxiao's mood fluctuated a lot recently because of his biological mother, but every time he wanted to go forward to comfort him, he would be cut off by his sister-in-law, and he couldn't do anything.

The two had their own concerns, looked at each other, and smiled at each other very politely.Little did he know that he was thinking about the other party leaving quickly.

Ji Zongming was particularly obvious, the idea was so strong that he even personally sent my sister-in-law to the airport.

Before leaving, my sister-in-law pulled Huo Chuxiao away alone, and after talking for a long time, Ji Zongming took it as the care of his family, and didn't take it seriously, and went to the smoking area to have a cigarette.

After finally sending people on the plane, seeing that it was getting dark, Ji Zongming proposed to go out for a meal, just to celebrate Huo Chuxiao's resignation.

Unexpectedly, Huo Chuxiao refused.

"I'm going to have two drinks with my colleagues in Jingjie tonight."

Ji Zongming frowned alertly, "Jing Jie, Qin Huai and the others?"

"Yes."

Boss Ji didn't want to, but most of those people were Huo Chuxiao's rare friends, so he couldn't interfere, mainly because he didn't have a position to interfere, so he could only hold his breath and send him to the restaurant where the party was held.

Ji Zongming was even more displeased when he found out that it was still a Japanese-style izakaya with authentic Japanese seats inside.Being so close, that kid Qin Huai definitely harbors evil intentions!

However, Huo Chuxiao didn't think so, he thought he was eating and drinking with his colleagues, and said bye to Ji Zongming after getting off the car.

After entering the room, I saw that a colleague had already arrived, and warmly greeted Huo Chuxiao to the table.

Huo Chuxiao was already very familiar with them, he could order, drink, listen to his male colleagues talking about the mountains, or make an appointment to go to an art exhibition together in the future, and he had eaten a meal for more than two hours inadvertently.

During the dinner, although Qin Huai was sitting next to him, he didn't talk much with him. Most of them were telling others about the embarrassing things in school. After drinking for three rounds, Huo Chuxiao saw that he was already slightly drunk, and his cheeks were a little wine-colored. , leaning back obliquely, looking a little lazy, he suddenly said:

"Chuxiao, how are you doing recently?"

The others were punching, and their voices were a little loud, so it seemed that Qin Huai's question was whispered and cautious.

Huo Chuxiao was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he was referring to, and nodded, "It's over."

Qin Huai smiled, "That's good. By the way, there is actually one thing I haven't been able to apologize to you. First, I couldn't find a chance. Second, I took myself too seriously, so I had to order some wine to say it." Gotta export."

He looked around and said, "I've heard about Qi Lang's incident, including how he treated you before. To be honest, I forced you to eat with him that time, and I had too much selfishness in it. Thinking about it now, I was actually blindfolded by a momentary emotion. Although it sounds like I'm trying to excuse myself, I really didn't expect him to hurt you so deeply. "

Then he looked directly into Huo Chuxiao's eyes seriously, "So, I'm really sorry. Fortunately, this incident didn't cause too serious consequences."

It took Huo Chuxiao a while to remember that, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart. And Ji Zongming has already helped to settle it later."

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, "Ji Zongming?"

"Yes."

Huo Chuxiao felt that he was more thoughtful now than before, and knew what to say and what not to say, so he didn't say a word about how Ji Zongming dealt with Qi Lang, but just avoided the seriousness and said that Qi Lang had already been sent back to the United States.

Qin Huai didn't seem as relaxed as he was, instead he took a sip of his wine and said in a low voice, "It was actually Ji Zongming who helped you settle things... Did he say anything later? For example, why did you help me?"

Huo Chuxiao felt puzzled, but said honestly: "He said it's normal to help friends."

After hearing these words, Qin Huai was slightly relieved.

Only then did he feel in the mood to chat with Huo Chuxiao about other things, and finally went back to the time he was working in Jingjie, and said with a smile: "It's really overkill for you to teach painting. I'm afraid Jingjie will rely on you in the future." Teacher Huo supported us."

The colleague on the opposite side heard it, probably drunk too much, and said boldly: "Boss, don't be discouraged, we will bring you back Ilya too!"

"I know, I know, the Ilya Participation Award, right? It's still called the consolation prize? It's the one issued in batches."

The colleagues immediately made a fuss, Huo Chuxiao watched happily from the side, and suddenly felt that this moment was extremely warm.

Qin Huai, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded all the time. He just kept drinking for the second half of the session, and when the show ended, he was obviously six or seven points drunk, and his walking was a little unsteady.

The only one closest to him was Huo Chuxiao, so he gave him a hand, and finally pulled him up. Qin Huai's footsteps were weak, and half of his body leaned over like this.

Huo Chuxiao was a little embarrassed, Qin Huai's scorching breath fell on his shoulders, his head was drooping, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

He doesn't know where Qin Huai lives, what should he do...

Just as he was thinking about calling a colleague to help, he suddenly heard Qin Huai mutter something.

Huo Chuxiao lowered his head slightly to listen, and Qin Huai repeated it.

He just heard it.

What Qin Huai said was: "Chuxiao, I'm not your boss anymore, can we see you again in the future?"

Huo Chuxiao felt a little puzzled, he resigned, he didn't move, it's only a 10-minute walk to Jingjie, and it's not difficult to take a look at it from time to time.

But Qin Huai shook his head when he heard this, "It's different."

He kept repeating these three words, and Huo Chuxiao felt a little helpless and asked him, "Why is it different?"

Only then did Qin Huai whisper in his ear, "When I was your boss, you didn't really take a look at me. Chuxiao, if I say we're friends with you, can you take a look at me? Just take a look, give me a look." I have a chance, I don't want much."

Huo Chuxiao was startled when he heard the words, he was about to ask about the opportunity, but suddenly heard that someone had already asked for him.

"Boss Qin, what chance is it? Is it worth your while to borrow wine?"

As soon as he looked up, Huo Chuxiao realized that Ji Zongming had already walked towards them with a cold face.

The author says:

Xiao Ji: Taking advantage of wine to play tricks, right? Holding other people's wives, right?

Xiao Huo: Hey, the driver is here
