Dead but not stiff

The elevator went down to the seventeenth floor and opened the door. Outside stood Zhong Li in running attire. When she saw Gu Xien alone, she was stunned for a moment. She stretched out her head and glanced behind him, as if Shen Bai was a big guy at 1.8 meters five As if he could hide himself behind Gu Xien, who was half a head shorter than him.

Gu Xien, who was helping to press the door button of the elevator, smiled at her: "Aren't you going to come in?"

Zhong Li who came back to his senses: "Oh, if you want to enter, you must enter."

Zhong Li's face was reddened by his smile. The lethality of a handsome guy is simply destructive to fans of face control, but this person's eyes are so similar to those of his idol.She walked in with her hands and feet, stretched out her hand and asked Gu Xien like a lucky cat, and then she couldn't help asking: "Shen Bai wasn't at home last night?"

Gu Xian nodded, "Yes."

Zhong Li curled her lips: "This person is too insincere in chasing people." After speaking, he realized that he had slipped his mouth, and quickly waved his hand at Gu Xien, "I, I, I... just pretend you didn't hear. "

The elevator stopped on the way down, and an old lady with a Labrador came in. With her back to the elevator door, Zhong Li focused on Gu Xien, and subconsciously took two small steps back.Seeing that she was about to bump into the old lady who was going in, the guardian's large dog barked twice at Zhong Li, who was frightened, and Zhong Li let out an ah, and Gu Xien reached out to grab her arm, and took a step forward to block her In front of Zhong Li, he also blocked the barking dog.

"Be careful." He said to Zhong Li in a calm tone.

The old grandma patted her pet dog, and said to the two slowly, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, slow down." Gu Xien turned sideways to let the old lady in.

Zhong Li was still in shock, the labrador was still staring at her vigilantly after it came in, she hid behind Gu Xien again, and said very apologetically, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Gu Xien replied, not sure if it was Zhong Li's illusion, his expression and answer were much more polite and distant than before.

I probably really said something wrong.Zhong Li was a little annoyed and embarrassed, so she had no choice but to take out her phone, lowered her head and checked Weibo.

There are a lot of people going out to work during the morning rush hour, and the elevator stops almost every second floor, and the originally ample elevator space gradually becomes crowded.Zhong Li lowered her head and swiped her phone like an ostrich, and Gu Xien stopped talking.

"Yeah." Zhong Li suddenly let out an exclamation of excitement, as if a goldfish's seven-second memory instantly forgot the embarrassment just now, raised the phone to Gu Xien, and said like offering a treasure: "Look, this is my idol. It’s not that the eyes are very similar to yours. Oh, no wonder he didn’t post Weibo yesterday, so he went home to celebrate with his parents.”

Being held directly under his nose by Zhong Li, Gu Xien had no choice but to bow his head and take a symbolic glance.What catches the eye is a birthday celebration photo of a family of three. The son is hugging his parents with his left and right hands, and there is a big birthday cake and some good-looking dishes on the table in front of him.The background behind seems to be at home, the environment is rich but warm, all three of them are facing the camera, smiling brightly and happily.

Gu Xien's eyes suddenly froze when he saw one of them, and then, he felt his heart was caught off guard by someone, and he screamed and pulled out bloody and bloody.

A huge emotion, mixed with sadness, pain, fragility and despair, rooted out from the dark soil buried deep in the ground, and then turned into a ferocious beast with green face and fangs, it came through the air, He opened his bloody mouth to himself, and swallowed him completely in an instant.

Zhong Li next to him was chattering excitedly: "I didn't expect my parents-in-law to have such good looks. This fully proves that my idol's face is original and genuine. Those black people who are jealous and slander my idol for plastic surgery can do it." Shut up."

However, Gu Xien slowly pushed her hand away, even trembling slightly, Zhong Li's smile faded, and she looked at him in astonishment.

"Yes...I'm sorry..." Zhong Li panicked, "If you don't like it, I just won't show it to you."

"I really don't like it, so I'm sorry." Gu Xian said in a hoarse voice, feeling bitterness in his mouth, and all the blood faded from his face in an instant, making him frighteningly pale.

Zhong Li didn't dare to say another word, put away her phone and stood obediently.

The elevator opens and closes again, so long, why is it so late.Gu Xien even had the illusion that he was enclosed in an airtight iron box, falling endlessly downwards, and he didn't know when he would suddenly fall to the ground, and then be smashed to pieces.

This feeling is reflected in Gu Xien's mother, who is the woman in the photo looking at the camera with a happy smile.In the first few years when she resolutely chose to leave Gu Xien, who was only five years old at the time, to seek her own happiness, this feeling of suffocation of despair was felt countless times in the cold and lonely night, like a bone on the tarsus. The maggots entangled him and clinged to him, causing him to suffer so much that he kept his eyes open all night until dawn.

——Xiao En, you have grown up, and your mother is going to live her own life, and she doesn't want her life to stop here.

——Be good, be obedient.Mom will come back to see you later.

So, did you find it?A life of your own, a life without me.

Gu Xien clenched his fists, his nails sank deep into his flesh, blood oozed from his palms, but he couldn't feel any pain.

But how can you be so cruel?You have gone through fire and water twice in your life for love, and your life is so pure and wonderful, like a hymn, so what am I?

The elevator finally reached the first floor, and people went out one after another. Zhong Li looked at Gu Xien worriedly, but seeing him standing there as if lost in his soul, he couldn't help reminding cautiously: "Here we are."

The light in Gu Xien's eyes finally gathered again, he hummed inaudibly, raised his head and followed the crowd out.

Outside the elevator, among the crowds, Shen Bai's figure was standing there against the crowd, holding a breakfast in his hand, seeing Gu Xien coming out, his face was filled with surprise.

He raised his arm and raised the breakfast bag in his hand towards Gu Xien, "Morning." He said with a smile, looking at Gu Xien, as if seeing his own sun, moon and stars.

Zhong Li didn't know why he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was because Gu Xien's face was really too scary before, like a drowning person who was at a loss and couldn't catch the driftwood, and even his eyes were empty for a few seconds.

The appearance of Shen Bai is undoubtedly a ray of light that broke through the water, illuminating the dark, oppressive and terrifying underwater world, and giving him a moment of respite and hope to persevere.

"Hey, you're so unkind. You left your friend at home alone, and ran out to be cool at night." Zhong Li stepped forward and slapped Shen Bai's shoulder hard. She felt that Gu Xien probably didn't want Shen Bai Bai saw that he was out of control, so he made exaggerated movements and raised the tone of his voice to liven up the atmosphere.

"Although it's true that I didn't come home at night, I didn't go out to be cool. Besides, didn't I come here to apologize early in the morning?" Shen Bai said while winking at Gu Xien, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were upright and awe-inspiring Face, to be able to make such a movement, it does not appear to be disobedient.Thinking about it carefully, it is probably the gentleness that penetrates deep into the eyes, diluting the original sharpness of the facial features.

Shen Bai handed the breakfast to Gu Xi'en, and said to him: "Xiao Liu is going back to the company to hold a regular project meeting in the morning, so you should go to the company with me first."

Gu Xien took it and nodded silently.Sensing something strange, Shen Bai looked at his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gu Xi'en looked away, took out a can of milk from the bag and handed it to Zhong Li, "You have to run, so you can't eat. But the milk should be drinkable, so take it."

Zhong Li took it over in surprise, and met Gu Xien's eyes for a moment. She didn't know if it was her own wishful thinking, but she saw apology and gratitude in it.

He is a gentle, kind and thoughtful person.Zhong Li sighed in his heart, hoping that he and Shen Bai could achieve a positive result.

The two arrived at the company around 08:30, and the meeting started at nine o'clock, and Shen Bai led them directly to his office.

The little girl assistant watched helplessly as Mr. Shen, a straight man who used to be unsmiling and even occasionally extremely vicious, actually pushed open the door of her office for Gu Xien with her own hands and let him in with a smile like a spring breeze. Unobstructed facial features.

Hard-working little assistant: You will never think of it

The legs are two meters long Nanali: So what's wrong with Mr. Shen?Huh?Why should I use again?

Work hard assistant: Do you still remember the engineer of Party B's team in Manager Liu's project?

The legs are two meters long Nunnally: I don't remember, Xiao Liu's stick, what can his projects attract my mother's attention.In addition, I have always suspected that Lao Shen would do his project, and whether the two of them had some ulterior transaction in private.

I don’t want to go to work and force Yu: Manager Liu is indeed a bit hard to describe, but his attitude is still okay.General leaders like this kind of subordinates who point and hit, and say what they say.

The legs are two meters long Nunnally: It's not because he doesn't have the ability to think independently.

I don’t want to go to work and force fish: Generally, superiors don’t like people who are too outstanding.

Assistant who works hard without complaining: Hey, you guys have a better attitude towards the gossip I'm going to talk about.

Two-meter-long legs Nana Li: I'm not interested. As soon as you talk about Xiao Liu's project, I'm already bored.

Work hard assistant: (Without saying a word, he directly threw out a photo of the project kick-off meeting, and circled Gu Xien with a red frame)

The legs are two meters long Nana Li:! ! ! ! ! ! In 1 minute, please give me all the information and contact information of this little brother.

I don't want to go to work so hard to force the fish: What the hell?There is such a stunner in that guy Xiao Liu's project.

Hard-working assistant: Are you reading crispy duck literature again during working hours?Stunning... This word is almost invisible.In addition, this person is now in Mr. Shen's office.

Two-meter-long legs Nana Li: Why didn't you say it earlier?I'm going to find Lao Shen to sign now.

Hardworking little assistant: ...

At this moment, Shen Bai was trying to sell Gu Xien all kinds of tea in his company's tea room, but he was rejected one by one by the other party.

He paced back and forth in front of the desk with a gloomy face, and Gu Xien, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was finally annoyed.

"A cup of Americano, add another three points of sugar, thank you."

Shen Bai happily wagged his tail and strode to the door, adjusted his facial expression, opened the door and told the little assistant outside: "Brew me a cup of Americano, add [-]% sugar, and bring it in."

Hard-working little assistant: Let me cook a cup of Americano and add three-point sugar?Think I'm from a milk tea shop?If I add five-point sugar, can I not use it to go to work tomorrow?

The legs are two meters long Nanali: Buddha bless you, I just sorted out the documents to be signed, and now I am going to find Lao Shen.

After Shen Bai finished giving his orders, he looked back at Gu Xien, and saw that he was staring at the computer screen to study a freshly drawn blueprint, holding the mouse in one hand, resting his chin on his knee with the other hand, clicking twice from time to time, his eyes fixed on it. Thoughtful.

Shen Bai spoke again: "Then do you want to eat something?"

Gu Xien: "..." Are you here to work or to open a shop?

Before Gu Xien could answer, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Bai said to come in, but the person who pushed the door in was not the little assistant who brought in the coffee, but Chen Nali, another project manager of his subordinate.

Shen Bai asked in surprise: "Is there something urgent?"

Chen Nali quickly glanced in the direction of the sofa, and then replied to Shen Bai's words: "Yes, Mr. Shen, I have a few documents here that I need your signature to review."

"Bring it." Shen Bai replied to her sternly, went to sit behind the desk, and took a stack of documents from Chen Nali.

He frowned slightly, seeming to have doubts: "So much?"

"Recently, there are relatively big differences in projects, and the planning of several new projects has just started, so there are a lot of things." Chen Nali smiled at Shen Bai and explained.

Shen Bai obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't point it out in person. He lowered his head and flipped through the documents and began to look them up.

Chen Nali saw that she had been fooled, and Shen Bai's attention was also focused on the document, so she began to quietly shift her gaze to Gu Xien who was on the other side of the sofa.

She looks really handsome, and her figure is also remarkable. Just sitting down, you can already see that her legs are long and her waist is thin and her butt is upturned.Since he can enter Lao Shen's office privately, the two should have a good relationship.Old Shen, who killed a thousand knives, my wife just broke up last month, why didn't you introduce someone to me, don't you understand the reason why the fat and water don't flow to outsiders?

Chen Nali was furiously obsessing and slandering while peeking at it.

"Chen Nali." Shen Bai knocked on the desk lightly, pulling her back to reality from the ecstasy, "Your leader is directly in front of you, not to the left. I don't know that you are still squinting."

Chen Nali: "..."

"In addition, these documents of yours were approved by me last week. I want to know why you reprinted them and showed them to me again. Did you lose your memory or did you lose your memory? I suggest you go with my assistant Register a number in the hospital, I think the mental state of both of you is a little abnormal recently. "

Chen Nali: "...Sorry, I just remembered wrong."

Shen Bai pushed the document over, "Do things with your brain in the future. I can accept that you make such a mistake once a month. After all, girls have a few special periods every month, which is understandable. But you have already used up the quota for this month. If it is dropped, if it is committed again before the end of the month, the performance of this month will be marked C."

Chen Nali walked out with a mournful expression on her face.

After speaking a little dryly, Shen Bai stretched out his hand to loosen his tie, but when he turned his head, he found that Gu Xien was leaning on the sofa and watching him.

Shen Bai hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Xien smiled: "Boss Shen is so majestic."

Shen Bai felt that the other party was mocking him: "Is it also wrong for me to reprimand my subordinates who did something wrong?"

Gu Xien: "It's right to be scolded for doing something wrong, but I'm an outsider, and she's still a girl, so your words are a bit too mean."

Shen Bai: "She has a salary that is not lower than the same level as other male employees, but because she is a girl, she can do wrong things without being scolded? Then what does the company hire female employees for?"

Gu Xi'en sighed, "Don't go online so easily. I didn't say you can't scold, I just think you can take a more tactful approach? For example, ask her to go back and confirm if the document is wrong? Sarcasm about other people's mental problems."

Shen Bai leaned back in the chair slowly, and said expressionlessly: "This is how I act. If they can't stand it, they can resign."

Gu Xien's expression also turned cold, "OK." He said, then raised his hand and closed the computer, got up to pack his things, and walked out without looking back.

"Hello." Shen Bai hurriedly got up and rushed over to hold him, "What are you doing?"

Gu Xien: "Didn't you say you can leave if you can't stand it?"

Shen Bai said angrily: "I mentioned them, but I didn't mention you. What are you doing?"

Gu Xien glanced at him, and said in a flat tone: "I am now a member of Mr. Shen's subordinate project. Strictly speaking, I am also your subordinate, no different from them."

It was the first time for Shen Bai to taste what it means to shoot himself in the foot with a rock, he tugged on his tie irritably, he didn't know how to continue talking.However, Gu Xi'en had already pulled his arm out of his hand, stretched out his hand and opened the door and walked out.

The little assistant came over with the three-point sugar-flavored coffee that he had finally managed to make after working hard for a long time. He poked his head inside, but saw that Shen Bai was the only one in the office. There, that worker Gu disappeared.

"That..." The assistant's intuition was not very good, but she still said timidly: "Boss Shen, the coffee you want."

"Take it and drink it." Shen Bai waved his hands with his back to her, his tone extremely cold.

The little assistant couldn't help shaking, and silently walked out with the coffee.

Little assistant who works hard: ...I want to know what happened

The legs are two meters long Nana Li: ...don't ask, I was scolded badly today, and it was still in front of the handsome guy I just fell in love with.

Work hard assistant: I didn't ask you, I asked Mr. Shen.

The legs are two meters long Nana Li: What's wrong with Old Shen?He scolded me for being cool, I don't know how to have fun right now.

Hard-working assistant: I just delivered coffee, and he is the only one in Mr. Shen's office, and he seems to be in a very bad mood.

I don't want to go to work so hard to force fish: Report, I saw that Mr. Gu came out of Mr. Shen's office at that time, and he seemed very angry by his expression.

The legs are two meters long Nunnally: Oh, my God, is it because of my beauty?

Xiao Liu, who presided over the regular project meeting, found that there seemed to be something wrong with Mr. Gu today. During the meeting, he repeatedly lost his mind and did not say anything. There were two issues that had clearly been determined to implement measures, and he even expressed opinions that were completely different from the previous ones, and He also explained it so clearly that it is impossible to refute it.

Xiao Liu: "...Well, Mr. Gu, haven't you had a good rest?"

Gu Xien's eyes were sharp and his expression was provocative: "No, what's wrong?"

Xiao Liu shuddered: "No, no, I'm just concerned, that, how about it, these two issues are listed as pending, and we will discuss them in detail later."

Gu Xi'en: "Isn't this meeting just to confirm these issues? After you hand over the results, you, Mr. Shen, won't scold people?"

Xiao Liu wiped his sweat: "Should...not be?"

Gu Xi'en: "Why not? Doesn't he like to curse people the most?"

Speechless, Xiao Liu wailed in his heart: That gentle and elegant Gu Gong was possessed by something today, God is too old, the queen mother, what should I do, is there anyone to save me?
