Huge crowd

Chunlai touched the door of Lu Zheng's room for the eighth time on tiptoe, and peeked in through the crack of the door.

Gu Yuxie led Lu Na to the stairs, and called to Chunlai in a low voice: "Come here, don't peek at others!"

Luna gestured to Chunlai, and asked: 【Do you know my father? 】

It's a pity that Chunlai and Gu Yuxie looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't understand.Gu Yuxie went downstairs with her two children in her arms, and sat in the big living room of the hotel watching the projection TV.Chunlai limply leaned on Gu Yuxie's back, Gu Yuxie rubbed his head, and asked, "What's wrong? Missing mother?"

Chunlai was silent, and after a long time, he put his small face against Gu Yuxie's palm, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "He looks like my mother."

The corners of Gu Yuxie's lips moved slightly, and she didn't know how to comfort him. After all, when Yu Guifu walked into Yunyun just now, Gu Yuxie was also stunned for a moment, because the "beauty mole" on the corner of Lao Yu's lips was born in almost the same position as Chunlai's mother .

Although men and women are different, and besides being a little ugly, Lao Yu has no shocking memories in his appearance, but in Chunlai's eyes, he deliberately magnifies this feature infinitely, and is the same as the warmest but most resolute way in his memory. The blood relatives he cut off have a little bit of precious connection.

Gu Yuxie patted Chunlai's back lightly, but looked towards the stairs, wondering if Lu Zheng's troubles had been settled.

Lu Zheng and Lao Yu held an online video conference for more than two hours with the management of "Firefly Education" in the room.In order to be decent during the meeting, Lu Zheng put on a shirt on his upper body, but on his lower body he still wore the casual beach shorts and slippers that he often wears in Yunyun.

"Zhengfu" has worked together as the financial advisor of "Firefly" for many years. Qi Peng, the CEO of "Firefly", is also a good friend of Lu Zheng. The vice president first communicated with Lu Zheng on his behalf.

But this vice president seemed a bit useless. He was so anxious that he was out of control. He kept shaking his legs at the other end of the video, making the pens on the conference table dance non-stop, and then slammed his head and face at Lu. One hundred thousand "what to do" are being thrown.

"What should I do? It is estimated that there will be more than seven or eight lower limit, what do you think?"

"What to do Lu Zheng, I heard that the report questioning us has written more than 200 pages, how long has he been staring at us!"

"What to do, so many pages are questioning the franchise issue, and the authenticity of the VIP customer traffic of the live broadcast classes of Chinese and foreign joint schools, oops, we didn't fake it, you know that!"

Lu Zheng only felt that a mosquito was buzzing and making noise in the video, but he didn't bother to raise his head. While calling up the data analysis, he asked Lao Yu who was sitting beside him for information. The questioning report was dismantled into several large pieces of content, and preliminary countermeasures were listed one by one.

Lu was processing data on the computer, whistled, and asked the vice president: "What should I do? You asked the seven aunts and eight aunts to enter the stock market before the suspension of trading. How do you buy if 'Firefly' falls? Let you get rich."

"Hey, stop teasing me!" The vice president covered his face in mourning.

"It's a joke, but why do others short you? Have you ever thought about it?" After speaking, Lu Zhengchong pointed to several key indicators at Lao Yu and asked him to prepare financial information. 'Firefly' is gaining momentum, it is currently the best online education company in China, and some people are jealous. Moreover, your divorce case has just been concluded, and the [-] million that his cheating ex-wife requested to share has just been obtained. One, if Qi Peng can't accompany her to act for a lifetime, she won't be able to accompany her to get together and leave, understand?"

The vice president asked: "You mean she is a perfect match with our opponent?"

Lu Zheng: "My God, your cultural attainments are high enough, and you can't blame others for questioning your company. Okay, what you have to do now is not to run around like a headless chicken, but to respond and fight back!"

"Your online franchise stores are just a test of sub-brands, accounting for less than one-thousandth of the total revenue. These are all real data. What are you afraid of!" Lu Zheng finally put away his teasing gesture, his tone was cold, and he circled Pass the data to Lao Yu and continue, "If you want to solve this problem, immediately put your administration, finance, legal affairs, and public relations on standby, and prepare the company's relevant contracts, structure, and financial and tax data. What do the CSRC and lawyers need? Take whatever you want immediately, respond to doubts, fight back against slander, fix loopholes, follow market rules, this is the most basic, ok? I will fully cooperate in finance and taxation, don’t worry.”

The signature pen on the vice president's desk was finally knocked to pieces. He finished the video conference profusely, but Lu Zheng fought like he was wearing shorts and slippers. Na go back early.

When the two went downstairs, both Luna and Chunlai had already fallen asleep on the long table. Old Yu hugged Luna on his body. Little Luna didn't wake up, her light-colored long curly hair was draped over Old Yu's shoulders, sleeping soundly. Shaking his head.

Chunlai woke up when he heard the movement, his eyes kept chasing Lao Yu, staring at Lao Yu until his scalp got goosebumps.

Yu Guifu said goodbye to Gu Yuxie, before leaving, he turned back again, took out the signed contract from his bag and put it on the table without saying a word.Chunlai was curious, so he went over to open the contract for Gu Yuxie and showed him - it was a contract for agency bookkeeping and financial management, and Lao Yu and his team in "Zhengfu" would be fully responsible for Yunyun's The financial work can be regarded as an apology for disturbing Huang Gu Yuxie's business last time.

Old Yu hugged Luna and walked towards the door. Chunlai bravely chased along the garden path for a while with his little fists clenched. , He almost wore it into an off-the-shoulder outfit.It wasn't until he saw Yunyun's gate that he began to blush and pant, then he naturally stopped and watched Lao Yu and Lu Na walk out of Yunyun.

Lu Zheng stood with his hands in his pockets on the steps outside Xiaobailou and looked at them with a smirk on his face: "My brother is chasing after my sister, the power of love!"

Gu Yuxie glanced at him: "Your brother is after your other brother!"

"what?!"

Chunlai ran back, and Gu Yuxie pulled him up and carried him on his shoulders like a sack, and took Chunlai back and forth to the small building to take a bath.

Lu was sitting down on the steps at the porch of Xiaobailou, took out a cigarette and lit it.The waterfall-like wisteria that covered the wall outside the small white building has already withered, but there are already water lilies in the large celadon vat in the small courtyard in front of the door, and there is a faint blue-purple pool, and the frogs in the flower field seem to be following instructions. The waves were higher than the waves.

Gu Yuxie came out of the bathroom and saw the back of Lu Zheng sitting alone on the steps.

"Are you going?"

Lu Zheng turned around: "What?"

"I said, are you going back to deal with things?"

Lu Zheng smiled lightly and nodded.

The two stood side by side on the porch facing the garden with nothing to do for a while. Gu Yuxie was surrounded by a deep garden scene, densely covered with plants, undulating branches and leaves, night dew condensed in the summer night wind, and the cool floral fragrance of talcum powder exuded from his body , Lu Zheng couldn't bear to approach him slowly.

Gu Yuxie turned her head to look at Lu Zheng, and suddenly said, "It's rare to see you in a white shirt, you look handsome."

"You..." Lu Zheng's heartbeat suddenly became wild and chaotic, "This seems to be the third time you praised me, the first time in your room, in the shower, you called me stupid, and later in the maze, you called me human Pretty good, remember?"

"Do you think calling you stupid is a compliment?" Gu Yuxie smiled slightly, "But even if that time is not counted, it's still three times."

Lu Zheng: "?"

"I praised your handwriting as a human being. Your handwriting is beautiful."

Lu Zheng remembered what happened that day, and said in a low voice, "I have caused you trouble during this time."

"You don't seem like a person who can say such things, so you won't come back this time?"

Before Lu Zheng could answer, Gu Yuxie realized that he was reluctant to ask this question, so he changed the subject, lowered his head, took out a small bag from his pocket and threw it to him.

Lu Zheng reached out to pick it up. It was a small cloth bag with a drawstring, and inside it was a pack of black seeds the size of a lentil. He asked, "What is this?"

Gu Yuxie: "I'll give you some cheap tree species. You can try to grow them. You will gain true knowledge by practicing them. Maybe you will be able to realize the method of flowering."

"What about this?" Lu Zheng asked, pointing to the black-gray powder contained in a small plastic bag in the cloth bag.

"Uh, nutrition powder, similar to the vitamins we eat."

"Oh? Can you eat it?"

"Yes, organic food, no problem," Gu Yuxie said.

"Then let me taste it?" Lu Zheng opened the bag and smelled it.

"It's called maggot powder." Gu Yuxie said seriously, then immediately took a peek at Lu Zheng's embarrassment, turned around and laughed.

"Pfft... bah!" Lu Zheng almost put his mouth together, and choked himself half to death when he heard this, "I know you have no good intentions, you are going to give the tree away, why are you pretending to be kind, I really hope Do I let it bloom?!"

Gu Yuxie thought for a while, and felt that he didn't want to explain. The few seconds of silence made Lu Zheng inexplicably troubled. It seemed that he was half a step away, and he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Gu Yuxie was speechless, so he nodded at him and said: "Then I wish you all the best, goodbye."

Gu Yuxie is always like this, he likes to stop abruptly, he likes to be straightforward, he doesn't talk much, but every sentence makes Lu Zheng's heart boil.

It was precisely this sentence that completely angered Lu Zheng, as if whether the tree would bloom or not and whether it belonged to him was not so important.

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Yuxie in front of him, wrapped his arms around his shoulders and pushed Gu Yuxie into his arms.

A hug that was caught off guard, without accidental blessings of falling, drenching, and drunkenness, each other was sober but restrained, which was incompatible with such an intimate distance.

They couldn't see each other's faces, but for some reason, the heartbeat and breathing of each other were familiar, as if such a close distance was already a strange relationship that was familiar with each other.Even Lu Zheng didn't know why he was so impulsive tonight. He hugged Gu Yuxie, obviously in a gentle, ambiguous and inflated atmosphere, but he was full of anger, like a young boy who was ignored, eager to Seek some positive explanation.

"Will you do it?" Lu Zheng asked earnestly with his lips pressed against Gu Yuxie's ear.

Will you give that magnolia tree to someone else?Lu Zheng swallowed half a sentence on purpose, always feeling that if he said it, he would appear to be very narrow-minded and serious, and narrow-mindedness and seriousness meant that he cared.

But he should care about this tree, why can't he say it?Lu Zheng couldn't help wondering whether he cared about the magnolia tree or "giving it to others".

Gu Yuxie was hugged by Lu Zheng with one arm, and his body smelled faintly of smoke and mint. The skin on his forehead recalled the memory of being rubbed red by Lu Zheng's beard in the center of the maze that night, and he could clearly hear Lu Zheng's voice. The heartbeat is violent, but there is a suffocation in the breath, which should be a little tense.

He leaned on Lu Zheng's shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Lu Zheng's back, and finally said nothing.

No matter how tense, awkward, and silent a hug is, it is still a hug after all, a suffocating distance that makes each other close, but if the other party pats the back twice more, it will change the taste.

It was like a kind of appropriate coaxing consolation, the consolation of not getting the first prize, but only giving an encouragement prize.

Lu Zheng felt sour in his heart, let go of him, turned around and went upstairs alone.

In the evening, the garden became humid, the wind stopped, and it became more and more stuffy.

Gu Yuxie didn't sleep all night, sitting by the window of the room, with the "toilet brush with leg hair" painted by Lu Zheng next to his hand.

The green and stretched lampstand stands in the transparent glass bottle on the round platform of the window, looking at one branch is like looking at the forest.

Gu Yuxie remained silent like this and watched the whole night.After waking up in the morning, he walked out of Lu Zheng's room and found that the door was open, and the staff of the homestay were already making the bed.

"What about others?" Gu Yuxie asked.

"Boss, the guest checked out in the middle of the night." The employee replied, "Oh yes, he asked me to hand this over to you."

Lu Zheng received the flight number from Lao Yu in the early morning, and his secretary picked him up directly from Yunyun to the airport.

Gu Yuxie took what the staff handed over—it was the agreement they signed on the seat card before their wedding in Xiaoshulin. Gu Yuxie promised to sell the magnolia tree to Lu Zheng as long as it bloomed.

Lu Zheng is like a child, if he doesn't get what he wants, he will pester others, and if he doesn't get a response, he will relentlessly insinuate, and if he doesn't achieve his goal, he will not give up, everyone is gone, and he still reminds Gu Yuxie lingeringly Can't break my promise.

Gu Yuxie rubbed her temples and smiled helplessly, finally relaxing after being uncomfortable all night.

It's just that this noisy and immature big kid owed a "goodbye" when he parted.

Yunyun Garden finally returned to tranquility, and a hearty rainstorm in early summer arrived as expected.
