Dead but not stiff

"Just to inform you, I'll take your time after get off work tonight."

Shen Bai, who was having a video conference with a client, rubbed his brows, barely suppressed the anger of being interrupted, and asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Why?"

"How simple, you are a golden bachelor, you should be fine after work. Since you have nothing to do, and I have nothing to do, why don't we do something together."

"Hehe..." If this person is in front of him right now, he really wants to knock open the other person's head to see what's inside, "You probably forgot that I'm different from you. After all, you can idle around and rely on others to support you." , but I need to work hard to support others.”

"Who the hell is being raised by others? I have a decent job anyway, okay?" Even though he was easily irritated, the other party's focus obviously didn't go astray, "But wait, what did you just say, you support someone else? When did you get out of the singles? Wow, I'm not the first to know about such a tragic thing? "

"There are too many things you don't know, just for your brain size, knowing that one plus one equals two is already very remarkable."

While sneering, Shen Bai turned around and said concisely to the customer representative who was having a video conference with him: "You continue."

The other party was obviously frightened by Shen Bai, who was polite and elegant one second, chatting with himself with a sexy magnetic voice, and suddenly changed his mood in the next second, as if he had turned into a prehistoric tyrannosaurus. He hesitated and replied: " Shen... Mr. Shen, if you have different opinions on our cooperation plan, we can still discuss it, after all... After all, we still attach great importance to this cooperation, you see..."

"Sorry, I just received a harassing call, and my mood has been affected. I have no opinion on your company's plan for the time being, let's continue."

The customer was sweating profusely, and a harassing phone call could affect his emotions so much. It seemed that Director Shen's psychological construction was not very mature.

Shen Bai, who still didn't know that he was inexplicably labeled as immature, hung up his noisy private mobile phone with a snap, and set it on mute. The world was suddenly peaceful, and so was his mood.

Ten minutes later, Shen Bai finished his work negotiations, closed the video window and was about to get up, when the mobile phone beside him vibrated.

Shen Bai picked it up, and the remaining patience reached the critical point: "You better have something to do, or you will lose someone. After you have been ruthlessly abandoned by Tang Qi countless times, you will still listen to your shrew swearing at the street without complaint or regret." The ATM, and the restaurant.”

"You actually threatened your only good friend!"

"It's the only gay friend," Shen Bai corrected, "That's all."

"Hey, it's really serious. I've arranged a dinner tonight, Mr. Shen, please do me a favor."

Shen Bai frowned, "What about your dinner? You probably forgot that my sexual orientation is the exact opposite of yours. I told you a long time ago that just because I make friends with you doesn't mean I will get involved in your circle."

"Don't, don't, I'm not interested in going straight. And this dinner is really tailor-made for you. I guarantee that except for you and me, all the staff are female - damn! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Now, pretend you didn't hear the first half of the sentence."

Ignoring the annoyance of the other party's slip-up, Shen Bai understood clearly: "The first half of the sentence? Straight to the bottom? Or is it just for me?...So it's a blind date?"

"Hey, eh."

"Correct me first, except for me, all the staff are female. Also, when did you turn your back on and become my old lady's lobbyist?"

"Daughter, my sister, I carry a gun and go into battle, but I still don't lose my glory, okay?"

"I really hope Tang Qi can hear your bold words."

"Hey, Shen Bai, are you nervous? After all, you have been solo for more than 20 years, and you haven't even held a girl's hand, right?"

Listening to the mouth on the other side of the phone chattering about himself, Shen Bai smiled instead of anger, as if he was used to this kind of brain-dead provocation, he just replied slowly: "Oh, when did you start working as a matchmaker again? But don’t say it, you are really suitable. The low-end taste infinitely caters to the public, extreme gossip and nonsense, just in line with the highest standard of a matchmaker, congratulations, you have finally found your own life positioning.”

"Wow, you must have a lot of pain in your heart with such a poisonous mouth. I happened to meet my aunt in the mall that day, so I had a cup of afternoon tea together. Seeing that she is very old, for you This older single dog is so worried that his hair turns gray, I just can't bear it."

"My mother's gray hair is a natural law. You can't bear it because you are full and want to find some fun to watch. Mrs. Jiang, I thank you, and please don't talk to my old lady again. , and had afternoon tea together."

"Yes, but the premise is that after you have contributed yourself. Let you be a friend with such a shining diamond king, and I will be easily shot. So for the stability of the society and the unity of the masses, I still need to spare no effort to undertake all kinds of unimaginable and even unconstrained entertainments for you, and I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

"Your uncle."

"My uncle wants me to do the same, don't worry."

Within half an hour, Shen Bai ruthlessly hung up someone's phone for the second time.

A black Porsche Cayenne hides in the same pitch black night, like a large animal with a cat hunkered down and waiting for an opportunity.Across the road from it is the location of Jiang Yingyue's blind date dinner - a French restaurant LaVieEnRose that looks very bourgeois and romantic from the outside.

"A rose-colored life? The assistant girl recommended me to invite clients to come here for dinner and talk about work. I feel that the meals they provide will never fill my stomach." As a single young man who has been solo for more than 20 years, Shen Bai is very concerned about this. This kind of understanding that it seems to be a restaurant dedicated to dating and sentimentality is obviously a little bit off.

"I'm afraid your little assistant may have misunderstood the relationship between you and your client." Jiang Yingyue rolled down the car window and looked out as she spoke, then turned her head and winked at Shen Bai: "You won't be Are you stage fright?"

Shen Bai, who was leaning on the driver's seat and fiddling with the car radio, actually nodded and said bluntly: "Yes."

"Wow!" Jiang Yingyue almost jumped up on the back seat of the car, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that Comrade Shen Bai with thick eyebrows and big eyes would have a day of stage fright!"

Shen Bai looked at Jiang Yingyue and said earnestly: "Madam Jiang, I think you should go to the hospital to check your gender, after all, you have completely broken away from the category of men from choosing a spouse to the behavior of screaming at every turn. gone."

"Tsk, the typical clinical symptoms of late-stage cancer in straight men. You have to understand that the world is full of colors and reds, and men are also in different forms, okay? For example, you and I are two different species. The flower of being good at socializing." Jiang Yingyue leaned her elbows on the edge of the car window, looked at Shen Bai with her head propped up, and at this point, she even winked at her.

"It's the first time I've seen someone describe himself with a flower." Shen Bai paused subtly, "Male."

"Give you one last chance to reorganize the language."

After a brief truce, one of the two began to boredly observe the people coming and going outside the car window, while the other whistled and adjusted the car radio from the first channel to the last channel, and then prepared to start from the beginning, until the former finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shen Bai, are you kidding me? What's the matter if you promised to come over but don't go in?"

The radio broadcast just jumped out of a noisy melody, and a cheerful Disney song played in a timely manner.

Shen Bai followed the rhythm, tapped his fingers leisurely on the steering wheel, "Isn't the other party here yet? I don't want to meet your eyes at both ends of the dining table in a couple's restaurant with you. Besides, I didn't promise you , I was forcibly hijacked by you on my normal way to get off work, and I even took people with me."

As soon as Shen Bai finished speaking, the window glass on his side was suddenly slapped hard from the outside, he lowered the window in some doubts, and then his whole body was messed up.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Standing outside is Shen Bai's cousin Shen Xi, a child of his second uncle's family, a female college student who should be staying in the university classroom for evening self-study or playing games in the dormitory at this moment.

Shen Bai rested one hand on the steering wheel, looking out of the car window with his hands in his pockets, carrying a huge bright blue backpack, and wearing a bright blue thread cap, looking down at Shen Xi, feeling a battle between heaven and man in his heart , Do you want to step on the accelerator and leave, and what will happen if you do so.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing here? Is there anyone in your car? Who is it?" Shen Xi leaned closer and turned his head to look at the back seat, "So it's Jiang Yingyue, a friend of mine." This is Shen Xi students' final conclusions.

Jiang Yingyue, who was about to say hello to Shen Xi, was instantly blacked out when she heard this, and said heartbroken, "Your sister is so uncute."

"Of course I have my own business here. But you, if you don't study well at school, what are you doing here?"

"A date." Shen Xi rolled his eyes at him, then ignored him and turned to walk away.

"!!! What are you talking about? Stop for me." Shen Bai called to stop Shen Xi, and accidentally honked the horn because of his excitement. He became nervous, "What did you just say you were here for?"

"A date."

"Since when did you have a boyfriend?"

"Brother, is it so strange when I will get a boyfriend? It will be more earth-shattering when you will get a girlfriend."

"Hahahahahaha..." Jiang Yingyue slumped on the passenger seat with a disfigured laugh, but was swept over by Shen Bai, and immediately fell silent as if a seal had been pasted on it.

Shen Bai turned around and continued to say to Shen Xi: "OK, you are a college student, and you have reached the grade where you can fall in love freely. But Shen Xi, let me warn you that you are allowed to have dinner on a date, and it is strictly forbidden to stay out at night. I have the phone number of your counselor. I'll call to confirm."

Shen Xi cut her eyes and rolled her eyes a second time, "More annoying than my mother."

"Your little sister is really uncute." Jiang Yingyue shook her head and sighed, "But such a brat is already on a date, so you don't have any sense of crisis at all?"

"That girl was very cute when she was a child, so she said that she has changed at the age of 20. Besides, what is my crisis? Is it strange that I haven't had a girlfriend in my [-]s?"

Jiang Yingyue looked at him sadly: "Then how did you relieve it all these years? Your right hand must be very powerful."

Shen Bai was looking down at the time on his watch. He raised his head when he heard the words, and suddenly leaned over in the next second, bypassing Jiang Yingyue's head with one hand and propping it on the back of the co-pilot on the other side, looking down at Jiang Yingyue who froze instantly. , the smell of aftershave water wrapped in the hormones of a mature man sprayed the other person's face, "Then why don't you try it?"

Jiang Yingyue: "Ahem...I..." Before he could continue speaking, Shen Bai had retracted his body, and with his other hand, he brought the briefcase from the back seat, and took out the tablet inside calmly, as if nothing was wrong. As if nothing happened, unlock it, click on the mailbox icon, and receive new emails.

Jiang Yingyue's face went from red to white and then to green, and she acted as a traffic light on a street corner, and finally yelled: "You fucking have to use a pad to receive emails? Can't you use a mobile phone?"

"Electronic contracts, viewing on a large screen are less likely to miss blind spots."

"I want you to stay away from me now."

"Then get out of the car."

"..."

"Okay, you," Shen Bai checked the contract transferred to him by his assistant, and brought back the topic: "What time did you make an appointment with that little girl, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"In order to show a gentleman's demeanor, I made it an hour earlier." Jiang Yingyue sat up straight and looked at the time, "But it's time to arrive after so long. Could it be that we haven't seen it since we've already entered?"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then happily shook the mobile phone at Shen Bai: "She has a message."

Shen Bai leaned on the front seat and shrugged, Jiang Yingyue read the content of the message beside him in a voice that both of them could hear: "I've already arrived, but I saw you in the car across the road, so you... ...Then why do you still lie to me that he will like me, but this is also good, and it is easier for me to give up, I wish you happiness."

Jiang Yingyue raised her head to look at Shen Bai with a confused face: "... Is this... the lyrics?"

"I don't know, and can you use a normal voice when you read a text message next time, is your eunuch-like voice announcing an imperial decree?"

"I got it!" Jiang Yingyue suddenly became exasperated, "Did she misunderstand something when she saw our actions just now? Shen Bai, you fucking did it on purpose, right? She also brought a few nurse sisters with her Oh my god, my gay status has been exposed, and there will be no more young ladies sharing food and gossip with me in the future!"

"Are you sick? Is the fact that you already have a boyfriend caused by me? Also, are you sure that they share food and gossip with you, isn't it because they have already classified you as the same kind, Ms. Jiang? "

"But at least they won't think that my taste is so bad."

Shen Bai felt that he would jump up and kill him in the next second, but he still tried his best to hold down his beating nerves, "Hehe, Tang Qi's level may not be much better than mine."

"Ha, you still have thoughts about me, you have already started to ballte with Tang Qi in your heart!"
