broken sun

It was past ten in the morning the next day.

Rows of lights above the head of the conference hall are all brightly lit, and a few yellow lights hanging on the wall shine directly on it, which is a bit dazzling.The seats were lined up layer by layer, and Gu Saming sat in the middle on the right-hand side, listening to other people's speeches, while holding the pen in his hand, opening and closing the cap.

When he heard something, he wrote two strokes on the document, put his knuckles on the conference table, raised his eyes, and happened to meet Chairman Qi, who was presiding over the shareholders' meeting.

Gu Saming looked at Qi Wenzhi calmly for two seconds, his attitude was not bad, not as lawless as before, but more like the calmness under the sure chance of winning, a little humility, or a kind of considerate care.

Qi Wenzhi received such care from his own son, so he was naturally not in a good mood, but there was nothing he could do.

If it is said that raising tigers is a danger, it is because he acquiesced in a fluke mentality.

The previous series of proposals have been passed one by one. When it comes to certain issues in corporate governance and management, because it involves the vital interests of shareholders, there are many voices, and they are all thrown to General Manager Gu.

Gu Saming was calm throughout the whole process, answering and explaining in a slow and unhurried manner, concise and to the point, and at the end he welcomed everyone to communicate, question and supervise reasonably.

As the second largest shareholder in the market, Chairman Qi delegated power to cultivate the young owner. Two years ago, everyone held a skeptical attitude. Now the situation has reversed unknowingly. Gu Saming has become an indispensable existence of the Qi Group.

There is one final bill remaining on the Marina Resort development project.

At the beginning, Qi Wenzhi took off his glasses and paused for a while, which seemed to be the result of careful consideration. He straightforwardly stated that because the risk assessment of the resort project was too high, he suggested to stop it.

There was an uproar on the field.

Except for the directors who participated in the brief meeting a few days ago, the rest of the people had already heard about this matter. In addition, Gu Saming was on vacation suddenly, which aroused speculation.

But today, just before this moment, when everyone saw the two people coming in, and they had a tacit understanding at the meeting, they all thought that the trouble had long since passed.

Gu Saming's achievements in the Binhai Resort project are obvious to all, and his ability to make drastic rescues and the courage to reorganize are unconvincing.Even so, what Qi Wenzhi said was true.

But this is too unlike Dong Qi's style.

Sometimes high risks are in the hands of some people, and they will turn into high returns in seconds.Some risks are worth taking no matter what.

You can balance left and right, and you can be hesitant, but you can't lose your courage.

People who are afraid of failure, regardless of whether they take risks in the end, most of them will end in failure.

Both father and son should belong to the former, but right now it seems that due to some obscure reasons, the differences are serious.

"I don't agree." Gu Saming put down the pen in his hand, equally straightforward.

The huge conference hall became silent.

"The seaside resort project is now running in an orderly manner. The two old partners who withdrew their capital did cause us a little trouble, but it was resolved quickly. The rest of the detailed report should have been the focus of this review process, but ——" Gu Saming lowered his head and smiled, then turned to face Qi Wenzhi, "It seems a little hasty for the chairman to come to such a conclusion in advance."

He said: "If you have doubts about my personal ability, since there are indeed some problems in the current project, I am willing to take corresponding responsibilities."

The first to be suspended is the general meeting of shareholders.

Because the shares held by Gu Saming are enough to shake the situation that has remained unchanged for many years.

During the intermission, Qi Wenzhi didn't feel any sense of crisis in the chairman's office.

He made tea without saying a word, poured hot water into the teapot, the tea leaves gradually spread out in the water, and the color of the soup in the pot changed from light to thick.

After sitting for a while, he looked at Gu Saming who was standing in his pocket in front of him, and said, "Did you bring Qi Nian too?"

Gu Saming said: "He's resting today, take him back when it's over."

The amber tea is gurgling, against the porcelain white cup wall, and the fragrance is lingering.

Qi Wenzhi took a sip, put down his teacup, and said slowly, "In the past six years, I have accepted everything you don't want to accept. Until today, is it all because of Qi Nian?"

After a while, he heard the answer, a simple "yes".

Even though he knew the answer a long time ago, it still made the heart of him, who had been a ruthless father for more than ten years, sink heavily. With a "boom", the final sentencing hammer finally came down without leaving any strength.

"Then, is it important to you whether or not the Binhai Resort project continues, and what the company has become? Sam Ming, since you can give up unconditionally, the position of general manager can be handed over to someone else, isn't it a loss? Or is it because You don't care at all." Qi Wenzhi asked him coldly.

"I didn't give up," Gu Saming said with a relaxed expression, "I won't give up my job, and neither will Qi Nian. But I will have countless jobs that I can choose at will, but I only have one real brother."

There are countless roads leading to being strong for Gu Saming to choose, and some people are born to be strong.

When Qi Wenzhi heard this, a little anger burst into his expression.

He gave up, tormented with this retribution to this day, he gave up first, but words like "brother" can still arouse his uncontrollable anger.

"Then what am I trying to plan?" Qi Wenzhi closed his eyes, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "What can your father get from you? A son who can become a competitor the next day, tell me is it worth it?" worth?"

After standing still for a long time, Gu Saming took a deep breath and said, "The Qi Group used to be of no interest to me, but now it is very important. It may not be mine, but everything I can control will always be Qi Nian's."

"Qi Nian knows everything. He has been calling you Dad since he was a child. You have gained too much. This family doesn't have to be so cold."

Qi Wenzhi's forehead twitched, and the furrow between his brows was deeply twisted.Qi Wenzhi looked at him fixedly, at the same level, it was a contest and promise between men, and the edge was still there.

But there are always compromises.

They don't talk about the relationship between father and son, but there is also an unbreakable trust, based on the principle of "the exchange of interests is mutual", including exchanging a little warmth for warmth.

Even for Qi Nian, this family doesn't have to be so cold.

The meeting finally ended without any danger.

Qi Nian waited in Gu Saming's office, not moving around, he picked a hand-bound book from the bookshelf, and read it quietly on the sofa.

It didn't seem long before the door was pushed open and closed a little, Gu Saming's voice appeared outside the door, and several people were also talking about work matters.

Qi Nian Xunsheng raised his head and kept looking at the door.After a while, Gu Saming came in alone, his eyes softened when he met Qi Nian, he went straight to Qi Nian, and asked him how bored he was waiting.

Qi Nian shook his head.

"Are you hungry?" Gu Saming naturally took the book in his hand and said, "Take the book home and read it. What do you want for lunch?"

Qi Nian thought about it seriously for a while: "It's all good."

He really is, all good.

But that's not what he's more concerned about.

Gu Saming smiled and said, "Then let's change to something else, and go to Dad's to eat at night and then eat Chinese food."

Qi Nian froze for a moment, then nodded very slowly, and asked, "Did he make things difficult for you? Is that transfer letter useful?"

"It's almost embarrassing." Gu Saming squeezed his face with his hands, leaned closer, and teased him with a smile, "It all depends on Qi Nian, who makes the cold-faced and ruthless Chairman Qi only love his youngest son?" more."

Good or bad, Qi Nian slandered, his lips were forced to pout, thinking that it must be because of his funny appearance that Gu Saming kept laughing at him.

Not dignified at all.

But he was so happy, no matter what, no matter what.

After Chen Xun arranged her daughter's transfer procedures and was transferred out of the province, Gu Saming took the time to go to the nursing home alone.

Ever since He Yu intended to stir up a struggle within the group, she used dishonorable means but lost to Qi Wenzhi. She wasn't even the one who helped Gu Saming.She spent all her youth and life, betting on all the chips that let her go once, and became an executioner. On the last gamble table, she still didn't win.

He Yu's body was already empty, and his irritability was aggravated and exhausted, and he was often in a trance. His state was good and bad, and he was generally poor.

But she is still persistent, arrogant, and never accepts what happened. She hates the absurd relationship that happened to her son the most, and she still always dreams of Qi Nian, which is a nightmare of chills.

Few people came to see her.

Chen Xun, who used to be opportunistic for a while, told her "who else can you rely on except me"; now there is no one.

On the afternoon when he saw Gu Saming, He Yu was lying in the room and started to burst into tears when he watched from a distance.

After approaching, she rushed over like crazy and hugged her son tightly, as if she was extremely frightened, but her hands became tighter and tighter.

Gu Saming stood motionless, with no expression on his face, and did not push away, until two nurses came and forcibly pulled He Yu away, allowing He Yu to stabilize his emotions, and went to call the doctor.

All aspects of work in the private sanatorium are perfect and comprehensive.

When He Yu calmed down, Gu Saming peeled an apple, cut it up, put the plate by He Yu's hand, sat there for a few minutes, said nothing, and then left.

Outside the door, Gu Saming chatted with the doctor and the person in charge for a while, and did not reject the other party's proposal to transfer to Linshi, which would benefit He Yu's mood stability, depending on the situation.

He said: "If necessary, such as visiting more times, that's fine."

Before Gu Saming left, he looked back. The surrounding scenery was pleasant, and the security measures were also in place. However, this white building was located here, and it seemed to be spotless, but he didn't know if it could clean people's hearts.

The weather is getting warmer day by day. At the beginning of June, there are frequent showers in Yuncheng, which has been in summer. It washes the whole city, but it dries up quickly.Therefore, when the clouds and rain rest, the colors of early summer are rich, the leaves are luxuriant, and the sun is dazzling.

Twilight is pure even at night.Qi Nian got off the car and stood on the sidewalk, waiting for Gu Saming to park the car, they followed the scattered crowd around the corner and walked into the busy alley.

It was not a weekend, and there were not many people in the bar. They sat at the place where Gu Saming and Shi Ze drank together.

As soon as he was seated, Qi Nian pursed his lips, and tentatively reached out to touch Gu Saming's hand. Gu Saming sat next to him, hiding indistinctly, and took the drink order handed by the waiter in front of him.

After randomly ordering two cold drinks, Gu Saming changed one of them to room temperature.

Qi Nian was unhappy, and when he saw the waiter finally left, he tilted his head and sneaked past again.

"What are you doing outside?" Gu Saming spoke in a gentle tone.

"Brother, when did you know?" Qi Nian timidly stopped moving, and asked pitifully as he sat there.

Gu Saming snorted and didn't speak.

The Canadian professor of Qi Nian finally came to China a few months later. She did not pass through Yuncheng because of the academic exchange schedule, but the professor happily told Qi Nian yesterday that a "surprise" accompanying her would come to see her. he.

There is no secret between Qi Nian and Gu Saming.

It happened to be at night, and his brother was by his side during the whole call, and it was still on speakerphone.

After hanging up, Qi Nian pinched the phone and thought for a while who the "surprise" was, but Gu Saming knew it almost instantly——

The student who wrote broken Chinese to express his love time and time again, and the sentences became longer and longer, starting with the eye-catching "Dear Nian" and signing "Joey" Qi Nian's junior, now he has to pursue it at a long distance. He came before.

After thinking about it, Qi Nian glanced at his brother's face, and suddenly felt that danger was lurking, and before he had time to run, he was arrested and tortured.

Gu Sam thought that he never replied, so he endured it for several months without saying anything.

Finally, he didn't have to bear it any longer, and by excuse, Gu Saming took Qi Nian to the bathroom, and then to the bed, asking and making trouble, with tricky angles, for fear that Qi Nian would not know that he was jealous and hurt, so he needed more compensation.

"Brother, why are you still like this? I told him before the email, and I called the professor today to make it clear, and told him clearly that I have...a boyfriend. "

Joey seems to be in love with the ritual of sending emails. After talking with Qi Nian, after a long time, he sent the last email.He was sorry for the interruption all the time, and decided not to meet again. He said that Qi Nian is very cute, he will study hard, and always regard him as a role model, and wish him and his boyfriend happiness.

Qi Nian replied to Joey for the first time, saying thank you and wishing him the same.

Qi Nian is sitting on the rattan chair in the bar, his legs are still a little sore, he cede the land to pay the compensation, and whispered: "I will be fined one more night tonight, please take care of me, okay?"

"Why did you ignore you?" Qi Nian's bare arm under his short sleeve was thin and white, and Gu Saming took his hand.

The two were quarreling and ignoring each other, when a familiar greeting sounded from the distant door, Qi Nian subconsciously pulled his hands away, and turned to look, it was Shi Ze, and Xu Li who was a step behind.

It was only after eight o'clock, and four acquaintances were sitting at a table.

Xu Li had a rest today, so he called someone to serve drinks and snacks, smiled and looked at Qi Nian, which pot was not open, and asked him when his friend would come.

Qi Nian stared: "I won't come."

Xu Li said, "I'm sorry to hear that, tsk tsk."

"..."

Gu Saming smiled, in a very good mood, and continued to listen to the chat between the two without saying a word.

Only Shi Ze finally took another vacation and went to find Xu Li again smoothly, but at this time he looked uncomfortable.While drinking with Gu Saming, he either peeked at Xu Li, or stared nervously at Qi Nian, with unclear intentions.

After several times, Gu Saming frowned and kicked Shi Ze under the table.

Shi Ze was startled, sighed, and tilted his head awkwardly.

After taking a long sip of wine, he finally found a suitable space, and he said abruptly, "Qi Nian, I'm sorry."

It was so sudden that even Gu Saming didn't expect it.

Qi Nian was stunned when he heard this, so he could only ask Xu Li with a questioning look, but Xu Li pretended to be dumb and looked away.

"There were many things in the past. You were still willing to help me in the end of high school. Although I and your brother are friends, we have always been vague. Now I apologize to you." It's easy to talk about the rest.

Qi Nian and his brother looked at each other for a while, then looked at Shi Ze, still a little dazed, he said slowly: "It's okay, I accept your apology."

The atmosphere was made a little weird for a while.The night that leaked through the window became thicker, someone on the stage was tuning the sound, Xu Li got up, smiled, and walked to the stage.

He first went to say something to the little girl at the front desk, and then said a few words to the person on the stage, who handed him the guitar and went down.

When the fragmentary sound of tuning came, the bar gradually became quiet.

Xu Li lowered his head, the prelude played, the surrounding lights were dim, and a few light spots flowed on people's faces, only the brick walls reflected the lines of subtitles that were constantly changing.

"Don't turn on the light, can you kiss me in the dark first, if I show my real body, I will be hugged tightly."

Qi Nian looked at the stage, the white words were reflected in his eyes, but his fingers touched Gu Saming's arm.

In the dark, where no one could see, he followed the blood vessels and felt the pulse at Gu Saming's wrist. When Gu Saming patted him backhanded and held his hand tightly, he smiled.

Xu Li's singing of Cantonese songs was also practiced time and time again in order to make money for a living, but today he is not selling singing, and there is no reason, but sitting here with these people feels unrealistic, so he suddenly thinks about it.

The low singing voice is like a breeze caressing the ears, with a few words, it blows affection into the heart and brings out the emotions.There were many people watching Xu Li in the audience, and Shi Ze was one of them.

Sometimes Xu Li lowered his eyes, but when he looked out, he looked at them, and he saw Shi Ze.

"If your lover is very curious, you must be prepared to be frightened by me. Just ask who is it, it is extremely white."

Towards the end, Xu Li played the last note he wanted to play, raised his head slightly, and the beam of light that cast on him but never added more shadows illuminated him brightly.

After a second of silence, he spoke softly, like humming, whispering, or asking: "How can I bear this curiosity? Are you ready to love me?"

Someone in the audience stopped breathing and heartbeat for a moment.

Then the heart beats wildly.

Qi Nian was listening all the time, and he could still read it if he didn't understand. When Xu Li finished singing, he looked away from the brick wall, and the last line of the lyrics that stayed the longest disappeared.

Then the people who went to work and sang in the bar came back tonight, and their table was already conspicuous, and now it became the focus of more people's prying eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the waiter who was familiar with Xu Li came over with a smile and brought them drinks.

The waiter glanced at Shi Ze, who was sitting next to Xu Li, and asked earnestly, "Brother Xu, isn't this the camouflage uniform from before? Who is it?"

Xu Li also laughed, raised his hand and hit him, saying, "It's just a friend."

Shi Ze froze, his expression of declaring sovereignty darkened a bit, but his heart became more restless.

The other party obviously didn't believe Xu Li, but nodded cooperatively: "Friend? I'll just say—" and then slipped away.

When going back at night, because he was not on the way, he walked to the head of the alley, Qi Nian stood beside Gu Saming, leaned slightly, and said goodbye to them.

"Is it true that Shi Ze can only be Xu Li's friend?" Qi Nian looked at the sidewalk in the opposite direction, and the two figures who were separated by distance gradually became smaller.

"It can't be worse." Gu Saming pulled him back and turned around, and said, "It's not Shi Ze who has the final say now, it's good to let him suffer a bit and be a friend."

Qi Nian tilted his head, half-knowledgeable.

The car stopped not far away, Gu Saming called the driver, but the driver hadn't arrived for a while.Because Lian Qi Nian also took a couple of sips of his cocktail in the bar, so he decided to take a casual walk to let off the smell of alcohol.

There are few people on the street, only the traffic passing by, and there are street lamps hanging under the thick sycamore trees.

Qi Nian raised his head from time to time, missing the large layers of sycamore leaves, occasionally seeing a few bright spots, flashing past in front of his eyes.

Gu Saming clasped the back of his head with his hand, helped him see the way, and asked him, "What did you see?"

"Star." Qi Nian blinked.

"Where are the stars?"

As there was no one around, Qi Nian tilted his head back and rubbed against his palm, his steps were slow, his speech was slurred, and he said, "I can't see it."

Gu Saming looked into his clear eyes, touched his earlobe with his fingertips, and smiled.

They went to a more open place, the sky was a deep blue, there were not many stars, but they were very bright, each one was seen by Qi Nian, and they were all put into Qi Nian's eyes.

"Brother," Qi Nian resumed his standing posture, still getting close to Gu Saming, and said seriously, "They are so beautiful."

The weather is ever-changing, the clouds are so thick, the wind is so strong, always covering them, they are so small and glow faintly.But in the universe, Qi Nian saw them.

Among them, those planets that do not shine by themselves can only face ten thousand years of emptiness, floating alone in the darkness forever.But it turns and trudges and does not fall, and the sun sees it.

What everyone sees is the light of the sun it reflects.

People are always looking for light, but they always say they can't find it.

And no matter what it is, whether it is the pink galaxy that sings about eternity, a mayfly that lives and dies, or the most ordinary dust, all have their own unique moments, that is light.

Gu Saming said "um", touched his slightly hot face, asked him if he was cold, and led him back.

Xia Feng rushed into his arms, the smell of dust was fresh, and the air was warm, drunk, Qi Nian smiled and muttered a few words.

"What?" Gu Saming leaned over and asked him.

He clung to Gu Saming's ear and whispered: "Brother, I love you so much."

And then, Qi Nian didn't think about anything else, he just wanted to go home with his brother on this unique night.

He may still be asleep when the sun comes up, but he can see.
