lack of love

Zhong Qiran and Li Qi live far away, and they only meet each other when they are interns in the company, and they don't have much contact with each other in private.But after getting along for two months, their relationship is getting better and better, they will call each other, and occasionally they will have dinner together when the internship is over.

Yan Hao caught a glimpse of Zhong Qiran eating with another man by the French window of the restaurant on the street, and the two chatted happily, as if they were discussing something happy.

Two months ago, Yan Hao was very busy after returning to China. Not only did he have to finish the accumulated work, but he also had to spend extra time to keep an eye on the promotion materials of fitness equipment in various departments.Every company knows that it is the most difficult to sell a product that is hardly well-known in the country, because it is tantamount to starting from scratch, and a lot of money must be spent on advertising and marketing.And the kind of unrealistic idea that it can sell well just because the product is good is a dream that only young entrepreneurs can dream.

Since Yan Hao was able to manage the company, he has never made such a mistake.But now he not only committed a crime, but he didn't stop it in time, instead he made the same mistake again and again.

Yan's father also reprimanded Yan Hao for his impulsive decision, and asked him to clean up the aftermath.

I don't know if it was planned, but as the secretary expected, Yan Hao actually went to country M to inspect it in person according to the time stipulated in the contract.

He didn't expect to see the scene in front of him not long after he got off the plane.

Yan Hao still has no obvious emotional changes, but for some reason, he just feels stuffy and uncomfortable.

Li Qi vaguely saw a tall and handsome man standing across the street, who seemed to be staring in their direction, but he didn't pay much attention to it. There were thousands of pedestrians passing by on this road, and it might be an illusion.He concentrated on watching Zhong Qiran who was sitting across from him, only thinking about what he was going to say next.After getting along for a period of time, he admired Zhong Qiran very much, and even wanted to go further.

Li Qi is a man of action, he does it when he thinks about it, and he doesn't care about the result.He just felt that the two met in a different place by fate, and their personalities were compatible, so he could try it.

In addition, this semester is coming to an end, it is a good opportunity to travel together, so he proposed to Zhong Qiran the plan to go skiing together during the winter vacation.

Zhong Qiran is a perceptive person, how could he fail to understand the meaning of Li Qi's words.Traveling together means that the relationship will go further. He and Yan Hao have been separated for almost two years. It is indeed possible to start a new relationship, but he is still a little hesitant.

Li Qi didn't back down. He knew that hesitation was also a sign of wavering, so he said more sincerely: "Qi Ran, can you give me a chance? After the trip is over, you can think about whether we want to be lovers or friends."

This was said very cleverly and skillfully, Zhong Qiran really couldn't find a reason to refuse.He feels that his current life is very good, and he has no intention of changing it.The most important thing is that his affection for Yan Hao was too deep before, even though he is not so sad in retrospect now, he still feels a little melancholy.

Li Qi didn't disappoint and asked him if he was still thinking about his ex. At this time, he knew that he should return the topic to the matter itself, and said, "Don't think too much, just go out as a normal person." How about playing?"

Zhong Qiran laughed helplessly, this time he didn't refuse again, "If you just go out to relax, it's fine."

Li Qi's eyes lit up.Although Zhong Qiran is only willing to go out with him as a friend now, this is enough.Proposing an invitation is only the first step. The most important thing is that he let Zhong Qiran understand his intentions. As long as the other party doesn't feel disgusted, it means that he still has a chance, "Then make an appointment like this."

"Yeah." Zhong Qi didn't know whether the promise was good or not.But he can't always indulge in the past, maybe it's okay to try to get along with another person.He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then casually turned his head to look at the street scene outside the window.

Li Qi followed his line of sight and found that the man on the opposite street had disappeared.He thought to himself, it was just an illusion.

What the person in charge of FE said in front of him, Yan Hao didn't listen to a word.

He knew it was weird, but he didn't know why.He was sure that he didn't have any mood swings, but he was always distracted.Or is it because of Zhong Qiran?

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan..."

Yan Hao raised his head upon hearing the sound.I don't know if it was because the gaze was too cold, the person in charge was taken aback, "Are you okay, your face doesn't look very good."

"It's okay." Yan Hao didn't notice the slight change in his expression now, and said in a businesslike manner: "Sorry, let's stop here today."

He returned to the hotel he had booked, made a phone call to find out where Zhong Qiran lived, and after asking for the address, he took a taxi there.

Yan Hao sat in the car and looked towards a dilapidated small apartment behind the school. This is Zhong Qiran's current residence. There are very mixed people coming and going, and there is no security guard.Although there were many students and it was relatively safe, Yan Hao frowned slightly.He didn't understand why Zhong Qiran still lived in this kind of place when he was already considered a rich man.

When he was thinking, he suddenly felt that some fragments flashed in his mind. It was when Zhong Qiran was still studying at the university. One time he went to the school to look for him suddenly, only to find that he lived in a small apartment off-campus.

At that time, Zhong Qi didn't dare to let Yan Hao come to him, because he always felt that the place he lived in was too dilapidated, and he was too embarrassed to let Yan Hao in.

Yan Hao remembered asking him at that time: "Why don't you live in the school dormitory?"

Zhong Qiran shook his head and said, "I don't want to cause trouble to others."

Four years have passed and the man hasn't changed a bit.

Yan Hao got out of the car and saw a piece of paper pasted on the door of the apartment. He walked over and saw clearly that it was a rental notice.

He made two phone calls, one to a leased number and one to a private bodyguard.

When Zhong Qiran returned home from get out of class, he found that the piece of paper by the door had been torn away.A week ago, the student who lived in the room next to him just moved out, and he didn't expect someone to rent it out so soon.

The rent here is cheap, so the sound insulation is not very good. He doesn't have too many requirements, he just hopes that the new tenants will not be too noisy.

The final exam is coming up next week. He has a lot of homework and exams, and he has to go to practice, so he has no energy to think about other things for the time being.

When he was at home in the past few nights, he only heard some movement next door. It should be that the new neighbors moved in.He ignored it and continued to bury himself in his thesis.

A week later, Zhong Qiran successfully passed the exam, and only then remembered that he wanted to make an appointment with Li Qi to hang out.

He talked with Li Qi on the window sill with good reception, copied down the location and meeting time, talked for a while, and talked about some schoolwork and work matters.

Zhong Qiran has been very serious since he was studying, and so is his work.For him, Li Qi is not only a friend, but also a person to learn from, and more likely to be a competitor in the future.

But when he can still maintain a pure friendship, he won't think too much.

After Zhong Qiran hung up the phone, he went to pack his luggage.

He didn't know that all the neighbors next door heard what he was talking on the phone.

Don't worry too much about Li Qi, he is a good catalyst(?)
