The difference between cloud and mud

"President Jiang?" Li Qianqian was terrified by Jiang Tong's face, and spoke cautiously: "President Jiang...what's wrong?"

Jiang Tong woke up like a dream, turned his head and smiled at the little assistant.However, he was still immersed in the post, with the corners of his mouth pulled and his eyes gloomy, it would be better not to smile.

"You go back to the company first, I have other things to do temporarily." He finally told Li Qianqian, knowing that his performance was full of flaws, but instead he had a kind of sloppiness: "Don't pass the video on in the company, so as not to misunderstand your colleagues."

What else can Li Qianqian say?I can only nod and say yes.Jiang Tong reacted so strongly, it was hard for her to tell him that the colleagues in the company had been discussing heatedly in the small group all afternoon, but she was the only one who was being ridiculed in the group because the news of her participation in the dinner was lagging behind.

Li Qianqian went back to the company, Jiang Tong got off the car halfway and found a cafe.When people are nervous, they will subconsciously do repetitive actions-picking fingers, grinding teeth, stroking hair, turning pens, all of which are signs of brain strikes and loss of control over limbs.Jiang Tong replayed the video over and over again, the screen was brightened, and the sound was amplified until the eardrum felt painful.They have always been careful in front of others, but who can guarantee that they will never make mistakes?

In fact, the video was shot in a blurry way, and ordinary people pass by without seeing any mystery.Even if Jiang Tong and Xiao Fengtai have a personal relationship, it's no big deal—isn't it allowed to listen to music to cultivate their sentiments?Jiang Tong overreacted, mainly because of a guilty conscience.

The relationship between him and Xiao Fengtai is far from being exposed.

What will shareholders who participated in the C round of financing think?How will colleagues in the company talk about it? Will dennis be judged at school?More importantly, what will Xiao Fengtai do?

And the Xiao family, the huge shadow behind him, appeared and disappeared from time to time but never left the scene.

What will the Xiao family do?

The picture from ten years ago is still in front of my eyes.The old woman's painted face was very white, her fingers were warm, but thin and strong, as hard as iron claws.Big shots crush his ego with a single finger, like a wafer cracker.

He tried his best to spend these ten years in vain.But when things came to an end, I still felt a faint panic.

What's more, Xiao Fengtai ten years ago was resolute.A young man like a blank sheet of paper, enthusiastic and pure, with no worries, he is full of pretensions.Even if he was stabbed by him, the blood is still not gone, and he will crawl to him even if he crawls.However, ten years have passed, and all the way along the way, everyone is stumbling, knowing how to adapt to the wind, if this road does not work, please go elsewhere.Jiang Tong thinks that there is nothing outstanding about his appearance, and Xiao Fengtai must also look down on his own wealth on paper. The troubles of getting along with each other are greater than the joys, will he get away this time?

Leaving is actually not counted as Xiao Fengtai never promised him anything.

He thought further and further until the phone vibrated on the table.When Jiang Tong saw the number, he didn't dare to answer it for the first time—it was Xiao Fengtai's call.

The phone rang for a while, and I hung up.However, it continued to vibrate and continued to vibrate, which meant that it would not stop if it was not connected.

As if being manipulated by an invisible hand, Jiang Tong finally got through the phone.No matter what Xiao Fengtai said, he secretly warned himself to control his emotions and tone of voice, so as not to be caught by him.

Never let him discover this thing.

"Have you seen that video?" Xiao Fengtai cut to the chase.

"...I saw it."

Xiao Fengtai unexpectedly went straight to the point, and Jiang Tong's answer was just a conditioned reflex.The original plan was completely disrupted—how could Xiao Fengtai see it?What does he think?Why call yourself after seeing it?

He was thinking blankly and anxiously, Xiao Fengtai suddenly became [-]% patient, and stayed silent with him.

Let's discuss how to deal with the present first.Jiang Tong lacks experience in public relations, should Huaqing and Huayu issue a joint statement to prepare for a rainy day?Or just ignore it?Regardless of the external situation, he must hold a meeting to clarify within the company.Perhaps the two should collude first so as not to betray the gang.

"How about we..."

"Hua Yu has a dedicated public relations team, and the video will be taken down soon. Don't worry."

"That's it..." Interrupted abruptly by Xiao Fengtai, Jiang Tong could only murmurly agree: "...Thank you."

As soon as he said it, he began to regret it.Something is wrong, but I can't tell.It was a vaguely familiar feeling, as if something was cracking and collapsing.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Xiao Fengtai sounded nonchalant: "By the way, if someone from your company asks, it doesn't matter if you just say it."

As he talked, he was amused by himself: "Watching a musical is not a shameful thing."

"I see." The matter was settled, but Jiang Tong still felt flustered and confused.There must be something wrong.

"Xiao Fengtai, I..."

"I almost forgot to tell you!" Xiao Fengtai interrupted him again: "It's nothing serious to gossip, but I'm afraid of being targeted by someone with a heart. Huaqing has just completed the C round of financing, so you have to be more careful."

Jiang Tong said dryly: "I don't quite understand what you mean"

The noise of traffic and crowd came from the other end of the phone, Xiao Fengtai's voice was still casual.

"I mean, let's not see each other for now."

Jiang Tong was in a hurry: "As you said, little gossip is no big deal. You don't need to be so nervous."

Xiao Fengtai sneered: "Your voice was shaking when the call was first connected."

Jiang Tong was speechless.The other end of the phone is so noisy, how can Xiao Fengtai hear clearly?He didn't realize it himself.

Xiao Fengtai noticed that he was at a loss, and slowed down his tone considerately: "I don't mean anything else, don't think wildly. Huaqing is now at the forefront of the industry. It is better to be cautious than to be aggressive."

"I'm thinking of you."

His voice was calm and gentle.Jiang Tong has never been so sure as at this moment, Xiao Fengtai has really grown up, and in some respects, he is even more mature and comfortable than Jiang Tong.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tong's mind was still in a mess.He paid the bill in a daze, took a taxi back to the company, and thought about how to explain the video to his colleagues.The driver slammed on the brakes at a red light, and he suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that he was staring at Xiao Fengtai's photo in his wallet.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with long eyebrows stretched out, eyes like lacquer paint, can already vaguely see the tall and straight outline of an adult.However, after all, the facial features have not yet opened, with a trace of childishness, they appear to be more than delicate but not heroic.

The teenager looked at the camera and smiled, his eyes were clear and soft.

He deliberately ignored, and the truth hidden behind countless complicated and trivial thoughts suddenly surfaced before his eyes.At this moment, Jiang Tong had to admit that they could never go back ten years ago.
