advertising godfather
Chapter 6
Eyes, the shot was like lightning, and he quickly pinched the godfather's crotch indiscriminately.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xinyuan took Bai Xiaoliang to Universal International on time.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Gu Weida had already arrived, and Zhou Xiaoyu was taking selfies beside Gu Weida.
As soon as the godfather and Bai Xiaoliang took their seats, Zhou Xiaoyu stared at Zhao Xinyuan with wide-eyed eyes, and gradually his eyes shone. Bai Xiaoliang and Gu Weida instantly understood that this was a nympho committed by his aunt.
Even though Zhao Xinyuan has experienced many battles and is often noticed by others, he is not used to it at the moment.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Zhao Xinyuan, and this is Mr. Xiaoliang said Gu?"
Gu Weida hurriedly suppressed his stomach acid, and shook hands with Zhao Xinyuan with a smile.
Bai Xiaoliang said in dissatisfaction: "Have you seen enough, and see that Wei Da is about to jump off the building."
Zhou Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze, nodded in admiration, and said, "Is that the godfather? I heard Xiaoliang talk about you all day long. You are really handsome. Have you had your nose trimmed? It seems that your jaw has been shaved too? Can I touch it?" ? I can count them as soon as I touch them."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Lose your face!
It's so embarrassing to have such a girlfriend!
It's like a village girl entering the city!
At this moment, Gu Weida was also roaring in his heart.
Lose your face!
What a disgrace to have such a wife!
It's as if my husband looks unsightly!
Only the godfather was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, moved his face closer, and said, "You are welcome."
Zhou Xiaoyu rolled his eyes with a smile, sneaked a glance at Gu Weida, and said, "Forget it, my husband is jealous."
Gu Weida rolled his eyes and looked out the window: "Oh no, I have no objection at all, just touch it, Xiaoliang doesn't mind, I don't mind."
Zhou Xiaoyu was unhappy, and said, "Why don't you mind? Is this how you love me?"
Gu Weida wanted to cry but had no tears: "It's not... this... I..."
Zhou Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, order, I'll get angry when I see you!"
Gu Weida: "..."
Zhao Xinyuan beckoned to the waiter.
After ordering the dishes, Zhao Xinyuan poured the red wine from his private collection for everyone.
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Wow, is this the legendary Lafite in 82?"
Zhao Xinyuan just smiled and said nothing.
Bai Xiaoliang said helplessly: "I'm sorry, this is what I just bought in my supermarket for more than 100 yuan to set off the atmosphere."
Zhou Xiaoyu said dejectedly: "It's boring, he's still tall, rich and handsome, and he doesn't even have Lafite in 82."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Zhao Xinyuan smiled and said: "Don't listen to Xiaoliang, although this is not the Lafite from 82, it was also brought back from my last trip to Australia. I don't remember the exact year, but the taste is good, not worse than the Lafite from 82."
Bai Xiaoliang's nose is neither nose nor mouth, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, Mrs Zhou Xiaoyu Queen, let me tell you the truth, the godfather bought more than 2000 of this bottle of wine!"
Only then did Zhou Xiaoyu cheer with satisfaction, and forcefully raised his glass to take a sip.
I just heard her pretending to say: "The taste is good, very mellow, it melts in the mouth..."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Gu Weida: "..."
During dinner, Bai Xiaoliang helplessly looked at Zhou Xiaoyu's mischief, while Gu Weida gradually discussed business with Zhao Xinyuan, and the time passed happily without knowing it.
After the meal, Zhao Xinyuan went to pay the bill.
Zhou Xiaoyu held his chin and said: "I can't tell the depth, this person has always had the same expression, smiling."
Gu Weida said: "You are still very smart in business, Xiaoliang doesn't have to worry about having no money to spend in the future."
Zhou Xiaoyu scoffed, and said, "Then we must ensure that we, Xiaoliang, can tie up this person for the rest of our lives, okay? Gu Gou Xiong, what do you think of this person?"
Gu Weida frowned and thought for a while, and said for a while: "I can't tell the depth, I'm pretty good at being a man, and I speak just right, and my temper looks good. Well, a friend of women."
"Yes," Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "It's that feeling of being a friend of women, that he has that kind of gentle tone towards everyone."
Bai Xiaoliang listened to the sound analysis of the couple on the opposite side, and said helplessly: "He is a bit of a charmer, but it doesn't matter, as long as he treats me well."
Zhou Xiaoyu winked and said: "You have to be careful, people like Gu Weida are delivered to your door all day long, your godfather, you have to pay more attention! It's very dangerous!"
Bai Xiaoliang wanted to cry, but said, "There are a lot of people who come to your door, but you can't live like an underground party every day just because of this, he is not that kind of person."
Zhou Xiaoyu squinted at Gu Weida with contempt on his face: "That's not necessarily true, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled and said, "I trust him."
Zhou Xiaoyu was angry: "Hmph, you are following my old path to death now. Once upon a time, I believed in someone very much."
Gu Weida quit, dropped his chopsticks, and said, "What do you mean Zhou Xiaoyu, didn't you just eat two lunch boxes? What about you? Why don't you give me a box lunch if you have an opinion? You don't give me a box lunch?" , I’m not allowed to eat other people’s food, are you going to starve me to death?!”
Zhou Xiaoyu turned her head, with a storm brewing in her eyes.
Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to persuade the fight again.
☆、Platinum trophy
Time flies, and a month later, Bai Xiaoliang stood in front of the full-length mirror in the master bedroom and tied a crooked tie for himself.
Zhao Xinyuan rushed over while putting on his suit, loosened his tie for him, and readjusted it meticulously.
Bai Xiaoliang looked at the two in the mirror, couldn't help but pouted with a smile, and said, "Dear."
Zhao Xinyuan bent down without hesitation, and their lips touched lightly.
Today is the award ceremony for the Platinum Design Cup.
The two went downstairs in suits and shoes, and happened to meet Wang Siya and Zhang Chongjiang who were also in suits and shoes next door and were about to get into the car.
Zhang Chongjiang yelled very low-key: "Let me tell you, we definitely gave enough this time. I heard that Zhao Xinyuan still didn't participate this year. It is estimated that the Platinum Cup will be close to you and you will take it back."
In fact, Zhang Chongjiang is just a bad-mouthed, small-minded, outspoken bastard. When Bai Xiaoliang looked at him now, he felt that his emotional intelligence might not be as good as that of a high school student, and he felt pitiful in his heart.
Bai Xiaoliang looked at the two of them speechlessly, thinking that Wang Siya's ability to endure Zhang Chongjiang for so long was definitely true love.
Zhang Chongjiang also saw the enemy next door.
As expected, Bai Xiaoliang heard him scoff very disdainfully, and said: "Siya, if I remember correctly, whoever was in your company was just a helper in retouching pictures? The person who became the chief designer this year , Are you also eligible to participate?"
Bai Xiaoliang got into the car directly, too lazy to argue with him.
However, Zhao Xinyuan paused in front of the car door, turned around and said to the two people over there expressionlessly: "If you push harder, you won't even be allowed to enter the arena later. Zhang Chongjiang, do you want to try?"
Zhang Chongjiang blushed immediately, but he didn't dare to challenge Zhao Xinyuan, so he had to be dragged away by Wang Siya.
Zhao Xinyuan got into the car after punishing the vicious dog, stepped on the accelerator violently, and the Land Rover, like a tank, brushed past Zhang Chongjiang's car with a height several times higher than the BMW.
Zhang Chongjiang, the co-pilot, saw the big land rover flying past by rubbing his elbow, and was so frightened that his voice broke.
Bai Xiaoliang couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing, you scared the kid to cry right away."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "He's not a child anymore, next time you annoy me, just beat him up."
Bai Xiaoliang teased, "Hey, you look like a mafia boss at the moment, who said you have to use a smarter way to resist people?"
Zhao Xinyuan smiled wickedly: "Is resisting people the same as beating the vicious dog next door?"
Bai Xiaoliang stretched out his hand, pinched the godfather's earlobe, and said, "Okay, don't quarrel with others next time, after all, we are neighbors, and they are narrow-minded, it's too annoying to quarrel. Understand?"
The godfather immediately saluted with one hand and said: "All follow the command of the chief!"
On the way, the godfather's phone rang suddenly.
Zhao Xinyuan turned on the Bluetooth in the car, and Lin Yan's voice came out from the car stereo, calm and calm: "Xinyuan, where are you?"
Zhao Xinyuan said: "On the way to the Great Hall."
Every year, the Platinum Cup is held in the Great Hall, and Lin Yan at the other end said: "That's right, you made an accident the day before yesterday, and the old man didn't agree, so today..."
Zhao Xinyuan glanced at Bai Xiaoliang, and quickly interrupted, "I'll be at the company right away, I'll talk about it later."
After that, he decisively cut off the call.
Bai Xiaoliang was puzzled: "Didn't you say we went to the awards ceremony together?"
Zhao Xinyuan put away his joking expression, turned serious, and said, "I have something to rush to the company. I'll ask Qingshan to wait for you at the gate of the venue. I'll take you to the venue and I'll go back to the company."
Bai Xiaoliang opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and felt that it would be better not to disturb the godfather's housework for the time being, so he didn't speak in the end.
The Great Hall is located in the center of the city. It was built in imitation of the Great Hall of the People in the capital. The large pillars that can only be surrounded by three people hold up a ten-meter-high dome. Going inside is the magnificent gate of the venue.
People come and go under the dome, all of them are dressed in fashion, and there are security personnel on both sides to maintain order.
The five-meter-wide gate was tightly blocked by security guards, leaving only a one-meter-wide passage. There were staff at the gate to verify the identities of the people entering the venue, and there were people queuing in front of the passage.
Bai Xiaoliang and Lu Qingshan reconciled and lined up to enter the venue.
After entering, there is a big sign-in wall. Next to the sign-in wall is the theme background wall advertisement of this year's Platinum Cup - white background, rainbow-colored words, which read: Don't let mediocrity stop you.
After signing in, Bai Xiaoliang followed Lu Qingshan into the arena.
The 1-meter-high conference hall was full of people, and it accommodated nearly [-] people, including elite designers from the entire Yangtze River Delta region.
Lu Qingshan asked Bai Xiaoliang to walk in front of him, and the two squeezed into the seat of his company in the crowd. They were in the front row with a good view.
As everyone gradually took their seats, the background music in the venue faded, and the host's voice sounded.
Zhao Xinyuan pushed the door open and entered Lin Yan's office.
Lin Yan was standing by the window drinking coffee, when she heard the door open, she turned her head in astonishment.
Seeing that it was Zhao Xinyuan, she said with a little guilt: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun has taken care of it, but the one from the Cultural Bureau couldn't communicate well. Your father disagrees."
Zhao Xinyuan stood on the spot and took a deep breath, then smiled angrily, and said, "He disagrees, why didn't you tell me this morning? Now the list of awards for the Platinum Cup must have been confirmed, and it can no longer be changed."
Lin Yan lowered her head and said, "His opinion is my opinion. If he disagrees with this matter, I will never facilitate this matter."
Zhao Xinyuan stood where he was, stared at Lin Yan coldly for a moment, and said sarcastically, "Aunt Lin, you are sincere to my father, but you don't know how sincere he is to you."
The little finger of Lin Yan's right hand trembled inadvertently, but her face was still calm, saying: "I don't mind, I am already very satisfied to be by his side."
Zhao Xinyuan sneered and left without looking back.
In the venue, Lu Qingshan clung to Bai Xiaoliang's ear and said with a smile: "Actually, the godfather has already taken care of it for you. Originally, he was going to watch you go on stage to receive the award, but I don't know why he left temporarily. I will go on stage to receive the award later. You have to calm down and stop peeing your pants."
Bai Xiaoliang widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "Really?"
Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "Of course it is true, and you do have this strength."
Bai Xiaoliang was surprised, but quickly calmed down, waiting for the final prize with some anticipation.
After the host's introduction, there will be an opening song and dance performance, and soon it will be time for the awards to be presented.
Bai Xiaoliang twisted his fingers nervously, his palms were sweaty, Lu Qingshan patted Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder, but he couldn't comfort him.
The host stood under the spotlight and said with a smile: "The long-awaited award will be announced, which is this year's Platinum Cup Best Design Award - let's look at the design nominations."
The work began to play on the huge electronic screen following the voice of the host.
"Ge'an Company, Gu Qinglin's masterpiece - the curtain is on the ground; Huanqiu Siya, Wang Siya's masterpiece - what I want in this life; Zhengting Advertisement, Bai Xiaoliang's masterpiece - Memories; Zuoka Design..."
Bai Xiaoliang took a deep breath, his heart beating like a drum.
"I invite our award presenter, Mr. Sun Qinglong."
Teacher Sun walked to the microphone, and the spotlight was projected from above his head.
Bai Xiaoliang didn't hear Teacher Sun's high-sounding polite words, but felt that he was so nervous that he almost peed his pants.
Mr. Sun said loudly: "I will announce that the winner of this year's Platinum Cup Best Design Award is - Huanqiu Siya, designer Wang Siya! The masterpiece is what I want in this life!"
The audience burst into applause, and the picture near Wang Siya's seat was immediately reflected on the electronic screen.
Bai Xiaoliang almost followed Mr. Sun's voice, tensed his muscles reflexively, and was about to stand up, but his consciousness followed up slowly, and stopped his buttocks just lifted off the seat.
Lu Qingshan on the side also looked at the stage in shock.
☆, ending
Zhao Xinyuan made a sharp turn, and the domineering Land Rover drew a rut on the parking lot. As soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out of the driver's seat and strode towards the auditorium.
In the auditorium, the host finished his concluding remarks with a perfect smile. The awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion. The guests got up one after another.
Zhao Xinyuan stood outside the venue, watching the people coming out one after another, anxiously looking for Bai Xiaoliang's figure.
Bai Xiaoliang followed the team to the outside of the great hall, not to mention how disappointed he was, but how did he feel? It was a bit fucked up.
You were just a grass-eating rabbit and never liked to eat meat. One day, a large piece of meat suddenly fell in front of you. You did a lot of ideological work for yourself to accept this. A dog snatched it away on the way.
Yes, that's the feeling, not lost, but slightly fucked.
Lu Qingshan looked at Bai Xiaoliang worriedly. Seeing him walking forward with no expression on his face, he thought very anxiously, poor child, he might have a breakdown in the next second. The godfather is not here. As a good brother of the godfather, I I will reluctantly lend him a shoulder later.
As his body moved, Lu Qingshan stretched out a hand, put his arm around Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder casually, and said, "May I lend you a shoulder?"
Bai Xiaoliang was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, looked at Lu Qingshan as if he was insane, and said, "The media is still taking pictures in the background, do you fucking want to be on tomorrow's headlines with me? The theme is 'Godfather Lover Platinum Failed, Frustrated and Switched to Brotherhood embrace'?"
Lu Qingshan: "..."
He was depressed for a while, before he said: "I think you are getting more and more eloquent."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled without changing his expression: "Thank you for the compliment."
Lu Qingshan asked with some doubts: "Aren't you uncomfortable?"
Bai Xiaoliang smiled and said, "What's the pain?"
Lu Qingshan said: "This is the award that everyone in the advertising industry dreams of... When I was young, even now, I want it very much."
Bai Xiaoliang pursed his lips, and the dimples on his lips reflected, "If I want it, do I have to give it to me? Although I want it too, but it really doesn't matter if I can't get it."
Lu Qingshan stared at him for a while, then murmured: "You are really... really good at seeing."
Bai Xiaoliang shrugged: "Anyway, I have a super rich husband, the rest don't care about him, what he likes."
Lu Qingshan said with a face full of thunder: "You...you don't want the best design of the Jinbei?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Think, who doesn't want to, but Manager Lu, I'm different from you people. Before I was with Zhao Xinyuan, I didn't even have a house of my own in this city. I believe there are many in this city. People like me. So compared to a light trophy, I think a rich husband is more important."
It was the first time in Lu Qingshan's life that he met someone who was so confident in his materialism, and he was speechless to refute. The two of them walked forward with their heads covered, and the sound of reporters taking photos came from both sides from time to time.
A reporter wanted to come up to ask questions, but Lu Qingshan skillfully pushed him away. After all, Bai Xiaoliang was not the final trophy winner, so the reporters didn't bother much, and instead rushed in the direction Wang Siya left.
Zhao Xinyuan finally saw the neglected Lu Qingshan and Bai Xiaoliang at the end of the team.
Compared with Wang Siya, who was surrounded by others before, the surroundings of these two people were much more deserted, but Bai Xiaoliang and Lu Qingshan were still talking and laughing happily, and it seemed that they were not affected too much.
Bai Xiaoliang also saw him, and Zhao Xinyuan cast a slightly apologetic gaze on him.
At this moment, there were only a few people left in the entire exit, and the cleaning staff began to enter the venue to clean up.
Bai Xiaoliang and Zhao Xinyuan looked at each other affectionately.
Lu Qingshan said awkwardly: "How about... I withdraw first?"
Zhao Xinyuan nodded, and patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder to express his gratitude.
Bai Xiaoliang also bid farewell to Lu Qingshan, and the two watched Lu Qingshan walk away.
After a while, Zhao Xinyuan said, "I'm sorry."
Bai Xiaoliang saw that he looked like a shy big boy, a little bit at a loss, so he couldn't help but smile, "It's okay."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaoliang, the original pressure in his heart disintegrated in an instant with his smile and answer, and he instantly understood something.
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Why are you in a daze, let's go, the pretending is over, go to work, I still have three big cases at hand, I will be busy these two days."
Zhao Xinyuan let out a breath slowly, and the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder outside the venue. He asked casually, "What's for lunch? I warn you, I can't stand the box lunch at the fast food restaurant downstairs anymore. For the first time, I ate a strand of hair in it!"
Bai Xiaoliang rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Don't you beg for food in the subway, can't you bear it? What's the point of eating hair?"
Zhao Xinyuan was horrified in an instant: "You know? When did it happen?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "I found your outfit full of flirting in the garage the day before yesterday. It stinks like maggots and you still keep it. I still wonder why you were so enthusiastic about me when we first met , It turns out that you have mastered the trick of turning a frog into a prince."
Zhao Xinyuan opened his mouth blankly, looking rather cute.
Bai Xiaoliang stood on tiptoe with a smile, and patted Zhao Xinyuan's forehead, saying: "It made me think that the 'overbearing male god fell in love with me at first sight' scene in the novel happened to me."
Zhao Xinyuan came to his senses and said with a smile: "I did fall in love with you at first sight, and you guessed it right."
Bai Xiaoliang said dissatisfiedly: "Don't fool me. Why didn't you agree when I confessed my love to you back then? If you talk about love at first sight with me now, only ghosts will believe it."
Zhao Xinyuan hugged Bai Xiaoliang's shoulders, walking like Zhu Bajie who has snatched his wife, his strides are so big that he is not afraid of making trouble, he proudly said: "Actually, I already liked you at that time, but I didn't realize it myself."
"Bah, bah, bah," Bai Xiaoliang spat three times in disdain, and said, "The bitter gourd intestines are disgusting from you, let me tell you, it's not good for you to win the prize for me today, I'll punish you tonight..."
Bai Xiaoliang suddenly stopped talking, Zhao Xinyuan embraced him, and they stopped together.
Wang Siya stood beside Zhao Xinyuan's domineering Land Rover, holding a small trophy in his hand, and his clothes were a little messy. It is estimated that the reporter had just finished the interview not long ago.
Bai Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled naturally, and said, "Congratulations."
He wants to say some more nonsense like "The trophy you most hoped for back then has finally arrived. I wish you a better career. I believe you will be better tomorrow...".
But he glanced sideways at the godfather beside him, and wisely shut up.
With a distant smile on Zhao Xinyuan's face, he congratulated Wang Siya very politely: "Congratulations to Mr. Wang. As a rookie in the design industry in recent years, Mr. Wang is very admirable."
Wang Siya thanked him, he and Zhao Xinyuan looked at each other for a moment, and smiled faintly.
He held the trophy tightly in one hand, his palm was covered with sweat, and said, "Xiaoliang, this is for you."
Bai Xiaoliang followed his gaze and lowered his head to see the crystal trophy reflecting the sunlight in his hand.
Three years ago, Wang Siya participated in the Platinum Design Competition on behalf of the school, but failed.
In order to make him happy, Bai Xiaoliang spent the whole night completing a picture album of more than 60 pictures, which showed Wang Siya's usual appearance in food, clothing, housing and transportation, each with a handsome smile.
He still remembers painting all night, and in the second half of the night, the bones of his fingers were sore, and the thick calluses on the inside of his palms were almost worn out.
Wang Siya smiled when she opened the album, and Bai Xiaoliang swept away the haze of many days.
He promised at the time that if one day I win an award, then half of the trophy will always belong to you.
Today, five years later, Wang Siya, who has a successful career, participated in the Platinum Design Competition and won the championship in one fell swoop.
I don't want to go into how much water is in it, but this young man has finally achieved his goal all along.
He wanted a career, so he became the founder of Global Siya;
He wanted fame, and now he got the Platinum Cup for Best Design;
At this time, Wang Siya, holding his trophy, came to fulfill the late promise.
Bai Xiaoliang stared at the trophy for a long time, recalling the sincere and stupid self back then, he couldn't help laughing with emotion at first.
After laughing, he looked at Zhao Xinyuan inquiringly.
Of course Zhao Xinyuan was not happy in his heart, but he still said politely, "We also have one at home, it's in the cabinet next to the computer desk, last time you thought it was taking up space, you forgot? Now I'm going to take another one home ?"
Seeing his hypocrisy, Bai Xiaoliang didn't like to talk to him anymore.
He reached out to take the trophy in Wang Siya's hand, without saying anything, just said lightly: "I accept the gift, but don't give it away again in the future, for the sake of my family harmony, don't you think so? Well, Mr. Wang, best wishes You go to the next level, goodbye."
He punched Wang Siya's chest, said goodbye to him, and pulled Zhao Xinyuan into the car.
Along the way, Zhao Xinyuan was expressionless and silent.
Bai Xiaoliang played with the trophy and said, "Are you unhappy because Wang Siya gave me the trophy, or because I didn't get the trophy?"
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows to look at Bai Xiaoliang, and said, "What do you think?"
Bai Xiaoliang shrugged and said, "I don't like guessing, but I don't think it's worth your displeasure no matter what."
Zhao Xinyuan didn't answer, and continued to play Shen Shen.
The atmosphere in the car was a little dull for a while, Bai Xiaoliang threw the trophy in the back seat, played with his mobile phone, and at the same time peeked at Zhao Xinyuan. After a while, he saw that Zhao Xinyuan's expression did not loosen at all, so he had to soften his tone and said, "Okay, don't be angry, tonight Lick your dick, huh?"
Zhao Xinyuan: "..."
After arriving at the company, Bai Xiaoliang followed Zhao Xinyuan into the door.
Colleagues who were not familiar with the first-hand situation all stared at them curiously, and a sycophant who had planned for a long time hurried forward at this time, and said "Congratulations" to Bai Xiaoliang with a smile.
Bai Xiaoliang replied with a smile: "It's an honor to represent the company in the competition. Although I didn't win the prize, I still thank you for your support."
The sycophant suddenly froze in place, and everyone quietly discussed.
Xiao Qin ran over enchantingly, rolled Bai Xiaoliang's eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Godfather, Mr. Zhao came down to look for you just now."
Zhao Xinyuan said coldly: "Understood, call him and tell him that I will go up later."
Xiao Qin said: "Boss Zhao asked you to bring Designer Bai with you when you come back."
Zhao Xinyuan paused, and turned his head to meet Bai Xiaoliang's slightly surprised gaze.
After a while, the two got on the elevator and watched the number go up.
Bai Xiaoliang said sullenly: "Let me say something outrageous, your father is so annoying."
Zhao Xinyuan squeezed Bai Xiaoliang's palm, speechless, so many things happened in the morning, both of them felt a little heavy for a while.
Zhao Zhengting's office is very spacious and bright, with all mahogany furniture, which is very suitable for Zhao Zhengting's serious and old-fashioned image.
He was sitting behind the large mahogany desk writing something, when he heard someone coming in without knocking, he stopped the pen in his hand and looked towards the door with a frown.
Zhao Xinyuan calmly walked to him and sat down, and said, "What do you need from us?"
Bai Xiaoliang didn't want to face Zhao Zhengting directly, so he stood behind his godfather and looked down at the ground.
Zhao Zhengting sighed, put away the pen slowly, sat upright, and said, "Designer Bai, you sit too."
Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to sit down beside the godfather.
Zhao Zhengting lingered on the two of them for a while, and said, "Looking at your appearance, it looks like you are here to question my teacher."
Zhao Xinyuan said: "You are worrying too much, how could we ask you to blame? What's the matter with you?"
Zhao Zhengting said: "Yesterday, I received a call from Deputy Mayor Lin, saying that the city may need to change blood. I will help you cut off the relationship with the Cultural Bureau, but I didn't expect that our Zhengting Group would be involved and there would be any disputes. , I didn't mean to target Designer Bai, I hope you understand."
Zhao Xinyuan's expression was obviously disbelieving, he just nodded perfunctorily, and said, "No one thinks that you are targeting Xiaoliang, what else is there?"
Zhao Zhengting said: "The reason why I explained this to you is because I regard you as my son. Lin Yan just told me that you went to her early in the morning and you were not in a good mood?"
Zhao Xinyuan frowned and said, "I'll apologize to Aunt Lin later."
As soon as this address came out, Zhao Zhengting shut up.
After a while, Zhao Zhengting broke the silence and said, "Although I explained this to you, I still disagree with you about the matter between you and this designer Bai."
Just as Zhao Xinyuan was about to say something, Bai Xiaoliang suddenly spoke.
"I know you don't agree." He said lightly: "But Zhao Xinyuan is an adult, and so am I. Whether you agree or not, I hope you wish us a good life. After all, you are his father, my elder , What kind of life do you want Zhao Xinyuan to live? A wealth of money? No way, my dad told me that he doesn't want anything else, he just wants me to be happy. "
Zhao Zhengting met Bai Xiaoliang's gaze sharply, and said, "I hope my son can be happy for the rest of his life, instead of ruining his whole life for being happy for a while."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled helplessly, and said, "How can I ruin his life? Time will tell, Mr. Zhao, you can relax."
Zhao Xinyuan stood up and said, "Let's go, I still have a lot of things to do next."
Zhao Zhengting raised his head following his movements, and said, "Go and do your work, are you free to come back for dinner recently?"
Zhao Xinyuan said: "Can I take Designer Bai back with me?"
Zhao Zhengting pursed his lips angrily, and silently refused.
Zhao Xinyuan shrugged and pulled Bai Xiaoliang away.
Even though he said so, Zhao Xinyuan still went back to have dinner the next day.
But he also took Bai Xiaoliang very stubbornly.
When Lin Yan opened the door, she seemed to have expected this to happen, so she just sighed helplessly and shook her head, and put on slippers for the two of them.
Zhao Xinyuan said coldly: "What? You are so unhappy when we come back? When we meet, you always look sad."
Lin Yan glanced at Bai Xiaoliang and said calmly, "I just don't want you to make your father angry."
Zhao Xinyuan smiled mockingly, and said, "It's quite like a stepmother."
Lin Yan didn't know whether she was deep in the beginning, or she was used to Zhao Xinyuan's sarcasm. When she heard Zhao Xinyuan's sarcasm, she just smiled back and went to the kitchen to arrange for the nanny to serve.
Zhao Zhengting was sitting in the living room watching the Central News, turned his head when he heard the voice, and glanced at the two seriously.
Zhao Zhengting called out: "Father."
Bai Xiaoliang called out, "Uncle."
Zhao Zhengting nodded with a sullen face, and everyone took their seats. No one spoke, and the sound of the news broadcast echoed in the living room.
After a dull meal, Zhao Xinyuan didn't even bother to say anything, so he took Bai Xiaoliang to leave.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Xinyuan let out a breath and said, "Every time I leave here, I always think, never come here again."
Bai Xiaoliang said: "It can't be like this. Although I think so too, I can still see that your father cares about you."
Zhao Xinyuan said: "I also care about him, but I just don't know how to get along with him. It seems to be my instinct to confront him as soon as we meet."
Bai Xiaoliang said: "That's because there is a missing bridge between you."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows: "En?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Without the role of mother to coordinate the conflict between father and son, every family should have such a role."
When mentioning his mother, Zhao Xinyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "You know, my mother left early."
"Now you have another stepmother, don't you?" Bai Xiaoliang said meaningfully.
Zhao Xinyuan took a look at Bai Xiaoliang from the rearview mirror, and Bai Xiaoliang had already lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
Three nights later, Bai Xiaoliang had a full meal and was blowing the wind on the terrace with his stomach full.
Zhao Xinyuan was on the swing on the terrace, groping for something with the light on.
Bai Xiaoliang looked over and saw that it was a family English model made of acrylic boards. The cartoon letters were made into three-dimensional graphics, which looked exquisite and cute.
Bai Xiaoliang asked curiously, "You've been busy with this thing all day, and you still can't move your hands off the table this afternoon. What are you doing? A new model for public service advertisements for the Cultural Bureau?"
Zhao Xinyuan stretched out a hand, hooked Bai Xiaoliang's neck, pulled him down and kissed him lightly, and said: "I used to plan not to give my stepmother a good look in my life, but because of you, my husband, I will go all out. This is a gift for her." .”
Bai Xiaoliang's eyes widened: "You... just give this? At least give some diamonds and emeralds, just take this 20 yuan thing, who are you fooling, our company's logistics boss can do it."
Zhao Xinyuan still put his hand on Bai Xiaoliang's back, and said: "My stepmother doesn't like these things. Look at her, she doesn't even wear a necklace. She just eats what I do."
Bai Xiaoliang said sourly: "You know her quite well."
Zhao Xinyuan hummed, and said sourly, "I haven't found you for the trophy in the cabinet yet, why did you put it together?"
Bai Xiaoliang said depressedly: "If you don't keep them together, why should you keep them separate? Isn't this convenient to take care of?"
Zhao Xinyuan rolled his eyes at the other party, but still held Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder.
Bai Xiaoliang patted his leg and said, "In this case, you can concentrate on making the model. I'll go and see the picture Hongmei and the others handed in today."
Zhao Xinyuan didn't move.
Bai Xiaoliang asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xinyuan looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: "There is glue on your hand, it's stuck to your clothes."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Five minutes later, Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to take off his clothes and went downstairs to find iodine with his bare arms. Only then did he finally save Zhao Xinyuan's slender fingers.
A month later, Lin Yan called Zhao Xinyuan and told him coldly: Your father called you home for dinner.
Half a year later, Zhao Xinyuan took Bai Xiaoliang back to his hometown to attend a ceremony.
Ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the new campus of X City No. [-] Middle School.
As the largest investment sponsor, Zhao Xinyuan cut the ribbon on stage on behalf of Zhengting Advertising.
Bai Xiaoliang was sitting with his parents in the crowd. Many teachers and staff came to say hello, and many scoffed at their family.
Bai Xiaoliang doesn't care, as long as others don't hit him in the face, then everything can be tolerated.
Zhao Xinyuan often said that although he seemed to be a lot smarter, in essence, he was still that soft and honest little white rabbit who couldn't fight back when he was beaten or scolded.
Bai Xiaoliang immediately scolded back sharply: "You will be 40 years old soon, and you still have a ponytail, you motherfucker!"
Zhao Xinyuan blew his beard and stared, and the two quarreled for no reason.
After an hour or so, Zhao Xinyuan would perform a magic trick, draw a sketch and give it to Bai Xiaoliang, signaling reconciliation.
The Bai Xiaoliang in the sketch is exactly the idiot who barks his teeth and claws when he loses his temper.
So far, these sketches have accumulated to 210 six pieces, which are well kept by Bai Xiaoliang as if they are treasures.
When the number of sketches has accumulated to the thousandth, the Platinum Design Award for the new year begins again.
This year, Bai Xiaoliang did not represent the company in the competition.
He already has enough qualifications and reputation in the industry to represent himself in the competition.
Zhao Xinyuan took over part of Zhao Zhengting's business and gradually separated from the advertising industry.
As soon as he finished a shareholder meeting, he hurried to the great hall.
rut in town hall
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xinyuan took Bai Xiaoliang to Universal International on time.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Gu Weida had already arrived, and Zhou Xiaoyu was taking selfies beside Gu Weida.
As soon as the godfather and Bai Xiaoliang took their seats, Zhou Xiaoyu stared at Zhao Xinyuan with wide-eyed eyes, and gradually his eyes shone. Bai Xiaoliang and Gu Weida instantly understood that this was a nympho committed by his aunt.
Even though Zhao Xinyuan has experienced many battles and is often noticed by others, he is not used to it at the moment.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Zhao Xinyuan, and this is Mr. Xiaoliang said Gu?"
Gu Weida hurriedly suppressed his stomach acid, and shook hands with Zhao Xinyuan with a smile.
Bai Xiaoliang said in dissatisfaction: "Have you seen enough, and see that Wei Da is about to jump off the building."
Zhou Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze, nodded in admiration, and said, "Is that the godfather? I heard Xiaoliang talk about you all day long. You are really handsome. Have you had your nose trimmed? It seems that your jaw has been shaved too? Can I touch it?" ? I can count them as soon as I touch them."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Lose your face!
It's so embarrassing to have such a girlfriend!
It's like a village girl entering the city!
At this moment, Gu Weida was also roaring in his heart.
Lose your face!
What a disgrace to have such a wife!
It's as if my husband looks unsightly!
Only the godfather was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, moved his face closer, and said, "You are welcome."
Zhou Xiaoyu rolled his eyes with a smile, sneaked a glance at Gu Weida, and said, "Forget it, my husband is jealous."
Gu Weida rolled his eyes and looked out the window: "Oh no, I have no objection at all, just touch it, Xiaoliang doesn't mind, I don't mind."
Zhou Xiaoyu was unhappy, and said, "Why don't you mind? Is this how you love me?"
Gu Weida wanted to cry but had no tears: "It's not... this... I..."
Zhou Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, order, I'll get angry when I see you!"
Gu Weida: "..."
Zhao Xinyuan beckoned to the waiter.
After ordering the dishes, Zhao Xinyuan poured the red wine from his private collection for everyone.
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Wow, is this the legendary Lafite in 82?"
Zhao Xinyuan just smiled and said nothing.
Bai Xiaoliang said helplessly: "I'm sorry, this is what I just bought in my supermarket for more than 100 yuan to set off the atmosphere."
Zhou Xiaoyu said dejectedly: "It's boring, he's still tall, rich and handsome, and he doesn't even have Lafite in 82."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Zhao Xinyuan smiled and said: "Don't listen to Xiaoliang, although this is not the Lafite from 82, it was also brought back from my last trip to Australia. I don't remember the exact year, but the taste is good, not worse than the Lafite from 82."
Bai Xiaoliang's nose is neither nose nor mouth, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, Mrs Zhou Xiaoyu Queen, let me tell you the truth, the godfather bought more than 2000 of this bottle of wine!"
Only then did Zhou Xiaoyu cheer with satisfaction, and forcefully raised his glass to take a sip.
I just heard her pretending to say: "The taste is good, very mellow, it melts in the mouth..."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Gu Weida: "..."
During dinner, Bai Xiaoliang helplessly looked at Zhou Xiaoyu's mischief, while Gu Weida gradually discussed business with Zhao Xinyuan, and the time passed happily without knowing it.
After the meal, Zhao Xinyuan went to pay the bill.
Zhou Xiaoyu held his chin and said: "I can't tell the depth, this person has always had the same expression, smiling."
Gu Weida said: "You are still very smart in business, Xiaoliang doesn't have to worry about having no money to spend in the future."
Zhou Xiaoyu scoffed, and said, "Then we must ensure that we, Xiaoliang, can tie up this person for the rest of our lives, okay? Gu Gou Xiong, what do you think of this person?"
Gu Weida frowned and thought for a while, and said for a while: "I can't tell the depth, I'm pretty good at being a man, and I speak just right, and my temper looks good. Well, a friend of women."
"Yes," Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "It's that feeling of being a friend of women, that he has that kind of gentle tone towards everyone."
Bai Xiaoliang listened to the sound analysis of the couple on the opposite side, and said helplessly: "He is a bit of a charmer, but it doesn't matter, as long as he treats me well."
Zhou Xiaoyu winked and said: "You have to be careful, people like Gu Weida are delivered to your door all day long, your godfather, you have to pay more attention! It's very dangerous!"
Bai Xiaoliang wanted to cry, but said, "There are a lot of people who come to your door, but you can't live like an underground party every day just because of this, he is not that kind of person."
Zhou Xiaoyu squinted at Gu Weida with contempt on his face: "That's not necessarily true, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled and said, "I trust him."
Zhou Xiaoyu was angry: "Hmph, you are following my old path to death now. Once upon a time, I believed in someone very much."
Gu Weida quit, dropped his chopsticks, and said, "What do you mean Zhou Xiaoyu, didn't you just eat two lunch boxes? What about you? Why don't you give me a box lunch if you have an opinion? You don't give me a box lunch?" , I’m not allowed to eat other people’s food, are you going to starve me to death?!”
Zhou Xiaoyu turned her head, with a storm brewing in her eyes.
Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to persuade the fight again.
☆、Platinum trophy
Time flies, and a month later, Bai Xiaoliang stood in front of the full-length mirror in the master bedroom and tied a crooked tie for himself.
Zhao Xinyuan rushed over while putting on his suit, loosened his tie for him, and readjusted it meticulously.
Bai Xiaoliang looked at the two in the mirror, couldn't help but pouted with a smile, and said, "Dear."
Zhao Xinyuan bent down without hesitation, and their lips touched lightly.
Today is the award ceremony for the Platinum Design Cup.
The two went downstairs in suits and shoes, and happened to meet Wang Siya and Zhang Chongjiang who were also in suits and shoes next door and were about to get into the car.
Zhang Chongjiang yelled very low-key: "Let me tell you, we definitely gave enough this time. I heard that Zhao Xinyuan still didn't participate this year. It is estimated that the Platinum Cup will be close to you and you will take it back."
In fact, Zhang Chongjiang is just a bad-mouthed, small-minded, outspoken bastard. When Bai Xiaoliang looked at him now, he felt that his emotional intelligence might not be as good as that of a high school student, and he felt pitiful in his heart.
Bai Xiaoliang looked at the two of them speechlessly, thinking that Wang Siya's ability to endure Zhang Chongjiang for so long was definitely true love.
Zhang Chongjiang also saw the enemy next door.
As expected, Bai Xiaoliang heard him scoff very disdainfully, and said: "Siya, if I remember correctly, whoever was in your company was just a helper in retouching pictures? The person who became the chief designer this year , Are you also eligible to participate?"
Bai Xiaoliang got into the car directly, too lazy to argue with him.
However, Zhao Xinyuan paused in front of the car door, turned around and said to the two people over there expressionlessly: "If you push harder, you won't even be allowed to enter the arena later. Zhang Chongjiang, do you want to try?"
Zhang Chongjiang blushed immediately, but he didn't dare to challenge Zhao Xinyuan, so he had to be dragged away by Wang Siya.
Zhao Xinyuan got into the car after punishing the vicious dog, stepped on the accelerator violently, and the Land Rover, like a tank, brushed past Zhang Chongjiang's car with a height several times higher than the BMW.
Zhang Chongjiang, the co-pilot, saw the big land rover flying past by rubbing his elbow, and was so frightened that his voice broke.
Bai Xiaoliang couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing, you scared the kid to cry right away."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "He's not a child anymore, next time you annoy me, just beat him up."
Bai Xiaoliang teased, "Hey, you look like a mafia boss at the moment, who said you have to use a smarter way to resist people?"
Zhao Xinyuan smiled wickedly: "Is resisting people the same as beating the vicious dog next door?"
Bai Xiaoliang stretched out his hand, pinched the godfather's earlobe, and said, "Okay, don't quarrel with others next time, after all, we are neighbors, and they are narrow-minded, it's too annoying to quarrel. Understand?"
The godfather immediately saluted with one hand and said: "All follow the command of the chief!"
On the way, the godfather's phone rang suddenly.
Zhao Xinyuan turned on the Bluetooth in the car, and Lin Yan's voice came out from the car stereo, calm and calm: "Xinyuan, where are you?"
Zhao Xinyuan said: "On the way to the Great Hall."
Every year, the Platinum Cup is held in the Great Hall, and Lin Yan at the other end said: "That's right, you made an accident the day before yesterday, and the old man didn't agree, so today..."
Zhao Xinyuan glanced at Bai Xiaoliang, and quickly interrupted, "I'll be at the company right away, I'll talk about it later."
After that, he decisively cut off the call.
Bai Xiaoliang was puzzled: "Didn't you say we went to the awards ceremony together?"
Zhao Xinyuan put away his joking expression, turned serious, and said, "I have something to rush to the company. I'll ask Qingshan to wait for you at the gate of the venue. I'll take you to the venue and I'll go back to the company."
Bai Xiaoliang opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and felt that it would be better not to disturb the godfather's housework for the time being, so he didn't speak in the end.
The Great Hall is located in the center of the city. It was built in imitation of the Great Hall of the People in the capital. The large pillars that can only be surrounded by three people hold up a ten-meter-high dome. Going inside is the magnificent gate of the venue.
People come and go under the dome, all of them are dressed in fashion, and there are security personnel on both sides to maintain order.
The five-meter-wide gate was tightly blocked by security guards, leaving only a one-meter-wide passage. There were staff at the gate to verify the identities of the people entering the venue, and there were people queuing in front of the passage.
Bai Xiaoliang and Lu Qingshan reconciled and lined up to enter the venue.
After entering, there is a big sign-in wall. Next to the sign-in wall is the theme background wall advertisement of this year's Platinum Cup - white background, rainbow-colored words, which read: Don't let mediocrity stop you.
After signing in, Bai Xiaoliang followed Lu Qingshan into the arena.
The 1-meter-high conference hall was full of people, and it accommodated nearly [-] people, including elite designers from the entire Yangtze River Delta region.
Lu Qingshan asked Bai Xiaoliang to walk in front of him, and the two squeezed into the seat of his company in the crowd. They were in the front row with a good view.
As everyone gradually took their seats, the background music in the venue faded, and the host's voice sounded.
Zhao Xinyuan pushed the door open and entered Lin Yan's office.
Lin Yan was standing by the window drinking coffee, when she heard the door open, she turned her head in astonishment.
Seeing that it was Zhao Xinyuan, she said with a little guilt: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun has taken care of it, but the one from the Cultural Bureau couldn't communicate well. Your father disagrees."
Zhao Xinyuan stood on the spot and took a deep breath, then smiled angrily, and said, "He disagrees, why didn't you tell me this morning? Now the list of awards for the Platinum Cup must have been confirmed, and it can no longer be changed."
Lin Yan lowered her head and said, "His opinion is my opinion. If he disagrees with this matter, I will never facilitate this matter."
Zhao Xinyuan stood where he was, stared at Lin Yan coldly for a moment, and said sarcastically, "Aunt Lin, you are sincere to my father, but you don't know how sincere he is to you."
The little finger of Lin Yan's right hand trembled inadvertently, but her face was still calm, saying: "I don't mind, I am already very satisfied to be by his side."
Zhao Xinyuan sneered and left without looking back.
In the venue, Lu Qingshan clung to Bai Xiaoliang's ear and said with a smile: "Actually, the godfather has already taken care of it for you. Originally, he was going to watch you go on stage to receive the award, but I don't know why he left temporarily. I will go on stage to receive the award later. You have to calm down and stop peeing your pants."
Bai Xiaoliang widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "Really?"
Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "Of course it is true, and you do have this strength."
Bai Xiaoliang was surprised, but quickly calmed down, waiting for the final prize with some anticipation.
After the host's introduction, there will be an opening song and dance performance, and soon it will be time for the awards to be presented.
Bai Xiaoliang twisted his fingers nervously, his palms were sweaty, Lu Qingshan patted Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder, but he couldn't comfort him.
The host stood under the spotlight and said with a smile: "The long-awaited award will be announced, which is this year's Platinum Cup Best Design Award - let's look at the design nominations."
The work began to play on the huge electronic screen following the voice of the host.
"Ge'an Company, Gu Qinglin's masterpiece - the curtain is on the ground; Huanqiu Siya, Wang Siya's masterpiece - what I want in this life; Zhengting Advertisement, Bai Xiaoliang's masterpiece - Memories; Zuoka Design..."
Bai Xiaoliang took a deep breath, his heart beating like a drum.
"I invite our award presenter, Mr. Sun Qinglong."
Teacher Sun walked to the microphone, and the spotlight was projected from above his head.
Bai Xiaoliang didn't hear Teacher Sun's high-sounding polite words, but felt that he was so nervous that he almost peed his pants.
Mr. Sun said loudly: "I will announce that the winner of this year's Platinum Cup Best Design Award is - Huanqiu Siya, designer Wang Siya! The masterpiece is what I want in this life!"
The audience burst into applause, and the picture near Wang Siya's seat was immediately reflected on the electronic screen.
Bai Xiaoliang almost followed Mr. Sun's voice, tensed his muscles reflexively, and was about to stand up, but his consciousness followed up slowly, and stopped his buttocks just lifted off the seat.
Lu Qingshan on the side also looked at the stage in shock.
☆, ending
Zhao Xinyuan made a sharp turn, and the domineering Land Rover drew a rut on the parking lot. As soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out of the driver's seat and strode towards the auditorium.
In the auditorium, the host finished his concluding remarks with a perfect smile. The awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion. The guests got up one after another.
Zhao Xinyuan stood outside the venue, watching the people coming out one after another, anxiously looking for Bai Xiaoliang's figure.
Bai Xiaoliang followed the team to the outside of the great hall, not to mention how disappointed he was, but how did he feel? It was a bit fucked up.
You were just a grass-eating rabbit and never liked to eat meat. One day, a large piece of meat suddenly fell in front of you. You did a lot of ideological work for yourself to accept this. A dog snatched it away on the way.
Yes, that's the feeling, not lost, but slightly fucked.
Lu Qingshan looked at Bai Xiaoliang worriedly. Seeing him walking forward with no expression on his face, he thought very anxiously, poor child, he might have a breakdown in the next second. The godfather is not here. As a good brother of the godfather, I I will reluctantly lend him a shoulder later.
As his body moved, Lu Qingshan stretched out a hand, put his arm around Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder casually, and said, "May I lend you a shoulder?"
Bai Xiaoliang was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, looked at Lu Qingshan as if he was insane, and said, "The media is still taking pictures in the background, do you fucking want to be on tomorrow's headlines with me? The theme is 'Godfather Lover Platinum Failed, Frustrated and Switched to Brotherhood embrace'?"
Lu Qingshan: "..."
He was depressed for a while, before he said: "I think you are getting more and more eloquent."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled without changing his expression: "Thank you for the compliment."
Lu Qingshan asked with some doubts: "Aren't you uncomfortable?"
Bai Xiaoliang smiled and said, "What's the pain?"
Lu Qingshan said: "This is the award that everyone in the advertising industry dreams of... When I was young, even now, I want it very much."
Bai Xiaoliang pursed his lips, and the dimples on his lips reflected, "If I want it, do I have to give it to me? Although I want it too, but it really doesn't matter if I can't get it."
Lu Qingshan stared at him for a while, then murmured: "You are really... really good at seeing."
Bai Xiaoliang shrugged: "Anyway, I have a super rich husband, the rest don't care about him, what he likes."
Lu Qingshan said with a face full of thunder: "You...you don't want the best design of the Jinbei?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Think, who doesn't want to, but Manager Lu, I'm different from you people. Before I was with Zhao Xinyuan, I didn't even have a house of my own in this city. I believe there are many in this city. People like me. So compared to a light trophy, I think a rich husband is more important."
It was the first time in Lu Qingshan's life that he met someone who was so confident in his materialism, and he was speechless to refute. The two of them walked forward with their heads covered, and the sound of reporters taking photos came from both sides from time to time.
A reporter wanted to come up to ask questions, but Lu Qingshan skillfully pushed him away. After all, Bai Xiaoliang was not the final trophy winner, so the reporters didn't bother much, and instead rushed in the direction Wang Siya left.
Zhao Xinyuan finally saw the neglected Lu Qingshan and Bai Xiaoliang at the end of the team.
Compared with Wang Siya, who was surrounded by others before, the surroundings of these two people were much more deserted, but Bai Xiaoliang and Lu Qingshan were still talking and laughing happily, and it seemed that they were not affected too much.
Bai Xiaoliang also saw him, and Zhao Xinyuan cast a slightly apologetic gaze on him.
At this moment, there were only a few people left in the entire exit, and the cleaning staff began to enter the venue to clean up.
Bai Xiaoliang and Zhao Xinyuan looked at each other affectionately.
Lu Qingshan said awkwardly: "How about... I withdraw first?"
Zhao Xinyuan nodded, and patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder to express his gratitude.
Bai Xiaoliang also bid farewell to Lu Qingshan, and the two watched Lu Qingshan walk away.
After a while, Zhao Xinyuan said, "I'm sorry."
Bai Xiaoliang saw that he looked like a shy big boy, a little bit at a loss, so he couldn't help but smile, "It's okay."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaoliang, the original pressure in his heart disintegrated in an instant with his smile and answer, and he instantly understood something.
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Why are you in a daze, let's go, the pretending is over, go to work, I still have three big cases at hand, I will be busy these two days."
Zhao Xinyuan let out a breath slowly, and the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder outside the venue. He asked casually, "What's for lunch? I warn you, I can't stand the box lunch at the fast food restaurant downstairs anymore. For the first time, I ate a strand of hair in it!"
Bai Xiaoliang rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Don't you beg for food in the subway, can't you bear it? What's the point of eating hair?"
Zhao Xinyuan was horrified in an instant: "You know? When did it happen?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "I found your outfit full of flirting in the garage the day before yesterday. It stinks like maggots and you still keep it. I still wonder why you were so enthusiastic about me when we first met , It turns out that you have mastered the trick of turning a frog into a prince."
Zhao Xinyuan opened his mouth blankly, looking rather cute.
Bai Xiaoliang stood on tiptoe with a smile, and patted Zhao Xinyuan's forehead, saying: "It made me think that the 'overbearing male god fell in love with me at first sight' scene in the novel happened to me."
Zhao Xinyuan came to his senses and said with a smile: "I did fall in love with you at first sight, and you guessed it right."
Bai Xiaoliang said dissatisfiedly: "Don't fool me. Why didn't you agree when I confessed my love to you back then? If you talk about love at first sight with me now, only ghosts will believe it."
Zhao Xinyuan hugged Bai Xiaoliang's shoulders, walking like Zhu Bajie who has snatched his wife, his strides are so big that he is not afraid of making trouble, he proudly said: "Actually, I already liked you at that time, but I didn't realize it myself."
"Bah, bah, bah," Bai Xiaoliang spat three times in disdain, and said, "The bitter gourd intestines are disgusting from you, let me tell you, it's not good for you to win the prize for me today, I'll punish you tonight..."
Bai Xiaoliang suddenly stopped talking, Zhao Xinyuan embraced him, and they stopped together.
Wang Siya stood beside Zhao Xinyuan's domineering Land Rover, holding a small trophy in his hand, and his clothes were a little messy. It is estimated that the reporter had just finished the interview not long ago.
Bai Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled naturally, and said, "Congratulations."
He wants to say some more nonsense like "The trophy you most hoped for back then has finally arrived. I wish you a better career. I believe you will be better tomorrow...".
But he glanced sideways at the godfather beside him, and wisely shut up.
With a distant smile on Zhao Xinyuan's face, he congratulated Wang Siya very politely: "Congratulations to Mr. Wang. As a rookie in the design industry in recent years, Mr. Wang is very admirable."
Wang Siya thanked him, he and Zhao Xinyuan looked at each other for a moment, and smiled faintly.
He held the trophy tightly in one hand, his palm was covered with sweat, and said, "Xiaoliang, this is for you."
Bai Xiaoliang followed his gaze and lowered his head to see the crystal trophy reflecting the sunlight in his hand.
Three years ago, Wang Siya participated in the Platinum Design Competition on behalf of the school, but failed.
In order to make him happy, Bai Xiaoliang spent the whole night completing a picture album of more than 60 pictures, which showed Wang Siya's usual appearance in food, clothing, housing and transportation, each with a handsome smile.
He still remembers painting all night, and in the second half of the night, the bones of his fingers were sore, and the thick calluses on the inside of his palms were almost worn out.
Wang Siya smiled when she opened the album, and Bai Xiaoliang swept away the haze of many days.
He promised at the time that if one day I win an award, then half of the trophy will always belong to you.
Today, five years later, Wang Siya, who has a successful career, participated in the Platinum Design Competition and won the championship in one fell swoop.
I don't want to go into how much water is in it, but this young man has finally achieved his goal all along.
He wanted a career, so he became the founder of Global Siya;
He wanted fame, and now he got the Platinum Cup for Best Design;
At this time, Wang Siya, holding his trophy, came to fulfill the late promise.
Bai Xiaoliang stared at the trophy for a long time, recalling the sincere and stupid self back then, he couldn't help laughing with emotion at first.
After laughing, he looked at Zhao Xinyuan inquiringly.
Of course Zhao Xinyuan was not happy in his heart, but he still said politely, "We also have one at home, it's in the cabinet next to the computer desk, last time you thought it was taking up space, you forgot? Now I'm going to take another one home ?"
Seeing his hypocrisy, Bai Xiaoliang didn't like to talk to him anymore.
He reached out to take the trophy in Wang Siya's hand, without saying anything, just said lightly: "I accept the gift, but don't give it away again in the future, for the sake of my family harmony, don't you think so? Well, Mr. Wang, best wishes You go to the next level, goodbye."
He punched Wang Siya's chest, said goodbye to him, and pulled Zhao Xinyuan into the car.
Along the way, Zhao Xinyuan was expressionless and silent.
Bai Xiaoliang played with the trophy and said, "Are you unhappy because Wang Siya gave me the trophy, or because I didn't get the trophy?"
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows to look at Bai Xiaoliang, and said, "What do you think?"
Bai Xiaoliang shrugged and said, "I don't like guessing, but I don't think it's worth your displeasure no matter what."
Zhao Xinyuan didn't answer, and continued to play Shen Shen.
The atmosphere in the car was a little dull for a while, Bai Xiaoliang threw the trophy in the back seat, played with his mobile phone, and at the same time peeked at Zhao Xinyuan. After a while, he saw that Zhao Xinyuan's expression did not loosen at all, so he had to soften his tone and said, "Okay, don't be angry, tonight Lick your dick, huh?"
Zhao Xinyuan: "..."
After arriving at the company, Bai Xiaoliang followed Zhao Xinyuan into the door.
Colleagues who were not familiar with the first-hand situation all stared at them curiously, and a sycophant who had planned for a long time hurried forward at this time, and said "Congratulations" to Bai Xiaoliang with a smile.
Bai Xiaoliang replied with a smile: "It's an honor to represent the company in the competition. Although I didn't win the prize, I still thank you for your support."
The sycophant suddenly froze in place, and everyone quietly discussed.
Xiao Qin ran over enchantingly, rolled Bai Xiaoliang's eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Godfather, Mr. Zhao came down to look for you just now."
Zhao Xinyuan said coldly: "Understood, call him and tell him that I will go up later."
Xiao Qin said: "Boss Zhao asked you to bring Designer Bai with you when you come back."
Zhao Xinyuan paused, and turned his head to meet Bai Xiaoliang's slightly surprised gaze.
After a while, the two got on the elevator and watched the number go up.
Bai Xiaoliang said sullenly: "Let me say something outrageous, your father is so annoying."
Zhao Xinyuan squeezed Bai Xiaoliang's palm, speechless, so many things happened in the morning, both of them felt a little heavy for a while.
Zhao Zhengting's office is very spacious and bright, with all mahogany furniture, which is very suitable for Zhao Zhengting's serious and old-fashioned image.
He was sitting behind the large mahogany desk writing something, when he heard someone coming in without knocking, he stopped the pen in his hand and looked towards the door with a frown.
Zhao Xinyuan calmly walked to him and sat down, and said, "What do you need from us?"
Bai Xiaoliang didn't want to face Zhao Zhengting directly, so he stood behind his godfather and looked down at the ground.
Zhao Zhengting sighed, put away the pen slowly, sat upright, and said, "Designer Bai, you sit too."
Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to sit down beside the godfather.
Zhao Zhengting lingered on the two of them for a while, and said, "Looking at your appearance, it looks like you are here to question my teacher."
Zhao Xinyuan said: "You are worrying too much, how could we ask you to blame? What's the matter with you?"
Zhao Zhengting said: "Yesterday, I received a call from Deputy Mayor Lin, saying that the city may need to change blood. I will help you cut off the relationship with the Cultural Bureau, but I didn't expect that our Zhengting Group would be involved and there would be any disputes. , I didn't mean to target Designer Bai, I hope you understand."
Zhao Xinyuan's expression was obviously disbelieving, he just nodded perfunctorily, and said, "No one thinks that you are targeting Xiaoliang, what else is there?"
Zhao Zhengting said: "The reason why I explained this to you is because I regard you as my son. Lin Yan just told me that you went to her early in the morning and you were not in a good mood?"
Zhao Xinyuan frowned and said, "I'll apologize to Aunt Lin later."
As soon as this address came out, Zhao Zhengting shut up.
After a while, Zhao Zhengting broke the silence and said, "Although I explained this to you, I still disagree with you about the matter between you and this designer Bai."
Just as Zhao Xinyuan was about to say something, Bai Xiaoliang suddenly spoke.
"I know you don't agree." He said lightly: "But Zhao Xinyuan is an adult, and so am I. Whether you agree or not, I hope you wish us a good life. After all, you are his father, my elder , What kind of life do you want Zhao Xinyuan to live? A wealth of money? No way, my dad told me that he doesn't want anything else, he just wants me to be happy. "
Zhao Zhengting met Bai Xiaoliang's gaze sharply, and said, "I hope my son can be happy for the rest of his life, instead of ruining his whole life for being happy for a while."
Bai Xiaoliang smiled helplessly, and said, "How can I ruin his life? Time will tell, Mr. Zhao, you can relax."
Zhao Xinyuan stood up and said, "Let's go, I still have a lot of things to do next."
Zhao Zhengting raised his head following his movements, and said, "Go and do your work, are you free to come back for dinner recently?"
Zhao Xinyuan said: "Can I take Designer Bai back with me?"
Zhao Zhengting pursed his lips angrily, and silently refused.
Zhao Xinyuan shrugged and pulled Bai Xiaoliang away.
Even though he said so, Zhao Xinyuan still went back to have dinner the next day.
But he also took Bai Xiaoliang very stubbornly.
When Lin Yan opened the door, she seemed to have expected this to happen, so she just sighed helplessly and shook her head, and put on slippers for the two of them.
Zhao Xinyuan said coldly: "What? You are so unhappy when we come back? When we meet, you always look sad."
Lin Yan glanced at Bai Xiaoliang and said calmly, "I just don't want you to make your father angry."
Zhao Xinyuan smiled mockingly, and said, "It's quite like a stepmother."
Lin Yan didn't know whether she was deep in the beginning, or she was used to Zhao Xinyuan's sarcasm. When she heard Zhao Xinyuan's sarcasm, she just smiled back and went to the kitchen to arrange for the nanny to serve.
Zhao Zhengting was sitting in the living room watching the Central News, turned his head when he heard the voice, and glanced at the two seriously.
Zhao Zhengting called out: "Father."
Bai Xiaoliang called out, "Uncle."
Zhao Zhengting nodded with a sullen face, and everyone took their seats. No one spoke, and the sound of the news broadcast echoed in the living room.
After a dull meal, Zhao Xinyuan didn't even bother to say anything, so he took Bai Xiaoliang to leave.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Xinyuan let out a breath and said, "Every time I leave here, I always think, never come here again."
Bai Xiaoliang said: "It can't be like this. Although I think so too, I can still see that your father cares about you."
Zhao Xinyuan said: "I also care about him, but I just don't know how to get along with him. It seems to be my instinct to confront him as soon as we meet."
Bai Xiaoliang said: "That's because there is a missing bridge between you."
Zhao Xinyuan raised his eyebrows: "En?"
Bai Xiaoliang said: "Without the role of mother to coordinate the conflict between father and son, every family should have such a role."
When mentioning his mother, Zhao Xinyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "You know, my mother left early."
"Now you have another stepmother, don't you?" Bai Xiaoliang said meaningfully.
Zhao Xinyuan took a look at Bai Xiaoliang from the rearview mirror, and Bai Xiaoliang had already lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
Three nights later, Bai Xiaoliang had a full meal and was blowing the wind on the terrace with his stomach full.
Zhao Xinyuan was on the swing on the terrace, groping for something with the light on.
Bai Xiaoliang looked over and saw that it was a family English model made of acrylic boards. The cartoon letters were made into three-dimensional graphics, which looked exquisite and cute.
Bai Xiaoliang asked curiously, "You've been busy with this thing all day, and you still can't move your hands off the table this afternoon. What are you doing? A new model for public service advertisements for the Cultural Bureau?"
Zhao Xinyuan stretched out a hand, hooked Bai Xiaoliang's neck, pulled him down and kissed him lightly, and said: "I used to plan not to give my stepmother a good look in my life, but because of you, my husband, I will go all out. This is a gift for her." .”
Bai Xiaoliang's eyes widened: "You... just give this? At least give some diamonds and emeralds, just take this 20 yuan thing, who are you fooling, our company's logistics boss can do it."
Zhao Xinyuan still put his hand on Bai Xiaoliang's back, and said: "My stepmother doesn't like these things. Look at her, she doesn't even wear a necklace. She just eats what I do."
Bai Xiaoliang said sourly: "You know her quite well."
Zhao Xinyuan hummed, and said sourly, "I haven't found you for the trophy in the cabinet yet, why did you put it together?"
Bai Xiaoliang said depressedly: "If you don't keep them together, why should you keep them separate? Isn't this convenient to take care of?"
Zhao Xinyuan rolled his eyes at the other party, but still held Bai Xiaoliang's shoulder.
Bai Xiaoliang patted his leg and said, "In this case, you can concentrate on making the model. I'll go and see the picture Hongmei and the others handed in today."
Zhao Xinyuan didn't move.
Bai Xiaoliang asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xinyuan looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: "There is glue on your hand, it's stuck to your clothes."
Bai Xiaoliang: "..."
Five minutes later, Bai Xiaoliang had no choice but to take off his clothes and went downstairs to find iodine with his bare arms. Only then did he finally save Zhao Xinyuan's slender fingers.
A month later, Lin Yan called Zhao Xinyuan and told him coldly: Your father called you home for dinner.
Half a year later, Zhao Xinyuan took Bai Xiaoliang back to his hometown to attend a ceremony.
Ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the new campus of X City No. [-] Middle School.
As the largest investment sponsor, Zhao Xinyuan cut the ribbon on stage on behalf of Zhengting Advertising.
Bai Xiaoliang was sitting with his parents in the crowd. Many teachers and staff came to say hello, and many scoffed at their family.
Bai Xiaoliang doesn't care, as long as others don't hit him in the face, then everything can be tolerated.
Zhao Xinyuan often said that although he seemed to be a lot smarter, in essence, he was still that soft and honest little white rabbit who couldn't fight back when he was beaten or scolded.
Bai Xiaoliang immediately scolded back sharply: "You will be 40 years old soon, and you still have a ponytail, you motherfucker!"
Zhao Xinyuan blew his beard and stared, and the two quarreled for no reason.
After an hour or so, Zhao Xinyuan would perform a magic trick, draw a sketch and give it to Bai Xiaoliang, signaling reconciliation.
The Bai Xiaoliang in the sketch is exactly the idiot who barks his teeth and claws when he loses his temper.
So far, these sketches have accumulated to 210 six pieces, which are well kept by Bai Xiaoliang as if they are treasures.
When the number of sketches has accumulated to the thousandth, the Platinum Design Award for the new year begins again.
This year, Bai Xiaoliang did not represent the company in the competition.
He already has enough qualifications and reputation in the industry to represent himself in the competition.
Zhao Xinyuan took over part of Zhao Zhengting's business and gradually separated from the advertising industry.
As soon as he finished a shareholder meeting, he hurried to the great hall.
