like the abyss

After the new year, Qin Suzheng moved a lot of things to Lu Yuan's side.

Apart from the living room, master bedroom, and study room, Lu Yuan's other rooms are empty.Qin Suzheng didn't touch his things, he just put on his own clothes and tidied them up in the cloakroom, converted an empty room into a fitness room, and brought in a large wine cabinet.

Lu Yuan's former small wardrobe was put in the utility room by him, and some clothes in the small wardrobe were also put into the cloakroom, together with his clothes.Most of the men's clothes were of the same style, and Lu Yuan couldn't recognize them clearly at first, but when he put them on, he realized that they belonged to Qin Suzheng, so he had to take them off and put on the next size down one.

Lu Yuan fell ill again when winter and spring changed seasons.Lu Yuan never missed any flu, and sometimes even came twice in a hurry.He was used to it, but Qin Suzheng was so scared that he woke up several times in the first half of the night to take his temperature.As soon as Lu Yuan had a high fever, he felt dizzy and thought he was tossing, so he struggled to push him back into the quilt. He took a dose of antipyretics, put on cooling patches and slept soundly until morning.When he woke up, he could barely recognize Qin Suzheng next to him: he had an unshaven beard and dark circles around his eyes.He slept soundly in the second half of the night, but Qin Suzheng didn't dare to sleep at all, for fear that he would have a fever again.

After recovering from illness, Qin Suzheng made it a daily task to urge Lu Yuan to exercise, and Lu Yuan was required to run on a treadmill for half an hour every day.It is impossible to be lazy, because Qin Suzheng will supervise with a sandbag on the side.Lu Yuan ran this trip half-dead every day, and after washing up, he was pressed on the bed for a "before bed exercise". I have a cold.

Lu Yuan doubted the effectiveness of the exercise plan, Ren Qin Suzheng refused to move more no matter how threatened, so Qin Suzheng had to change his strategy and use his beautiful muscles to coax Lu Yuan into exercising.If the hook is straight and the bait is salty, Lu Yuan will not be fooled, at most he will eat the bait and throw away the hook. After having enough eye addiction, life is still the life of a fat house.

Lu Yuan felt that he was still pursuing Qin Suzheng, and he was also interested in other things about Qin Suzheng.

What Qin Suzheng did was private placement.After all, Lu Yuan used to be in the Lu family, so he doesn't know anything about investment.Taiheng has only been in business for a few years, and it mainly manages futures. Among the funds, it is rare to have a positive return. Qin Suzheng is extremely ambitious, so naturally it will not be easy.Lu Yuan understood very well that he worked more flexibly and spent more time at home, so he took over housework such as cooking so that Qin Suzheng could concentrate on his work.

Qin Suzheng is the best type of diner, he is very good at cooking, so the suggestions for dishes are very specific, even if Lu Yuan occasionally misses, Qin Suzheng will be very supportive and eat cleanly.Lu Yuan's skills are improving rapidly, and he will learn new dishes when he is interested, and prepare them to send to Qin Suzheng's company.

The magazine that Lu Yuan works in is getting worse and worse, and it is mainly due to a few responsible editors that the magazine can still publish in the past few months.The print media industry is in a slump. Everyone is prepared for this outcome. Those who are still willing to work in this industry have already started looking for a new job, and those who want to change careers have already resigned. They started looking for new jobs at the beginning of the year.

Lu Yuan has nothing to do with himself, but is only worried about Shen Zening.Shen Zening is still young, new to the industry, full of enthusiasm and confidence in everything.Lu Yuan told him about the current situation, and he was optimistic. In turn, he persuaded Lu Yuan not to be sad, but at worst, he could go to another place to do the same thing.Lu Yuan felt in a daze that what he was facing was Zuo Li back then.Lu Yuan even felt that it was a pity that he was more suitable to follow Zuo Li or others than to follow himself.

Lu Yuan had a break-up meal with several colleagues from the magazine.The magazine is still closed.The president was a businessman, and he was furious after seeing the income statement in the company. Old Wen didn't say anything, let him scold him, and turned around and handed in his resignation report.He is not young and has no energy to continue working, so he simply went back to take care of his grandson.

Old Wen got emotional after drinking, and recalled the past with Lu Yuan and the others.At the beginning, Lao Wen worked for a Hong Kong journal with excellent resources, including experts and scholars who could be easily interviewed, a large team of consultants and experts, and even a dedicated investigation branch.The topic selection of the magazine was lively and the atmosphere was free, but the good times didn’t last long. Once Lao Wen was still outside for an interview, and suddenly learned that the magazine had been “shut down” and never got an issue again.

Later, Lao Wen moved to several magazines, stopped doing research, and became an editor.In today's media industry, bad money drives out good money. No matter how persistent Mr. Wen is, he will just be submerged in the tide of the times.

Lu Yuan was actually not sad.Entering this industry is a mistake, so there is no "ideal of a media person", and insisting on industry ethics is just what the moral heart thinks it should be.

The "force majeure" seen in these years did not fail to arouse Lu Yuan's rebellious heart, but there is really too little that can be done.The impact of biased reporting goes beyond that.In order to attract attention, some media deliberately ignore part of the truth, thereby inciting and exacerbating the conflict between the two sides.It's not that Lu Yuan has never seen in-depth reports on certain events, but besides them, who cares about the truth and follow-up of the events?Lu Yuan used to think that readers did not get the truth, but later realized that some readers do not need the truth, they only need attitude, only emotion, and content that conforms to their own cognition. Heresy is truth or otherwise insignificance.

Both Lao Wenwen and Zuo Li are heartbroken, they are practitioners with ideals.

Old Wen was so drunk that Lu Yuan and a few colleagues sent him to the car, and they had no interest in talking further.Several people said goodbye and went home.

Qin Suzheng is not very busy these days.It was rare for Lu Yuan to escape from the prison of housework. He had been clearing the newly bought game for the past two days.Old Wen's call for dinner came suddenly, and Qin Suzheng hadn't come home yet, so Lu Yuan could only send him a message.

Now that the dinner was over, Lu Yuan was about to call a taxi, when he saw two missed calls from Qin Suzheng on his phone, he went back.

Qin Suzheng answered quickly, "Is it over?"

Lu Yuan was standing by the side of the road blowing the wind. Just now, Old Wen kept toasting at the table, and Lu Yuan also drank a lot. "En." Lu Yuan thought for a while, then asked him, "Want to pick me up?"

Qin Suzheng seemed to smile, "Send me the address."

Lu Yuan sent the address, and Qin Suzheng's car stopped on the side of the road after a while.

Qin Suzheng stopped him from getting on the co-pilot, Lu Yuan was a little confused.Qin Suzheng pointed to the back seat, "Surprise for you."

Lu Yuan sat in the back seat as promised.There was a pink flight case on the seat, and Lu Yuan was shocked when he opened it.

He didn't expect that the surprise Qin Suzheng mentioned was a milk cat.

Lu Yuan put the box on his lap and asked Qin Suzheng, "Do you have a name?"

Qin Suzheng thought for a moment, "No."

The milk cat was still too young, Lu Yuan didn't dare to touch it for fear of scaring it, so he gestured across the box with his fingers, and focused on the cat.

Lu Yuan was looking at the cat, and Qin Suzheng was looking at him in the rearview mirror. "Xiao Li's mother cat has given birth to several cats, and I want one."

Lu Yuan touched the milk cat's head lightly, and said "um", indicating that he was listening.

Qin Suzheng changed the subject. "Dinning with colleagues today?"

Lu Yuan's work did not avoid him, and Qin Suzheng probably knew something about it. The circles of the two did not overlap, so there was no need for in-depth understanding.

Lu Yuan took his finger back, still staring at the cat. "I won't be a colleague from now on." After a pause, he looked up at Qin Suzheng with a strange pride, "I'm unemployed."
