old enemy riding a bamboo horse
Chapter 57
I promise myself that I will never say anything about my love for you
Before the negotiations began, all accompanying personnel were on standby.
When Lu Henglin looked solemn, he looked very serious, almost the same as the cold and handsome Mr. Lu.
Han Bingzheng was a little worried, because Lu Henglin's missing memory was terrible, and if there was a slight problem with the coordination, mistakes would happen.
The moment he stepped into the venue, Lu Henglin glanced at all the personnel on the other side, and the information appeared in his mind one by one. He smiled at the top person in charge of the other party, "Mr. Bauer, long time no see."
"Lu, I heard that you had a car accident, what's the matter?"
"Fortunately, I'm still alive." Lu Henglin shrugged playfully, trying to make himself look relaxed, "But it's true that I'm still recovering, my body can't bear too much work, and I have a cold and fever just after a long-distance flight. It seems that my vacation It's not over yet. But this negotiation is too important for us, so—"
He pointed to Xia Chengqi beside him, "I brought a spokesperson."
But Bauer seemed not happy, "Lu, you know, this cooperation is very important to you and me, and we also have great sincerity. I thought you would be responsible to the end, instead of using an unrelated person Perfunctory me."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Lu Henglin did not expect the other party to show such obvious resistance from the very beginning.
Xia Chengqi also took a deep breath, weighed the situation in front of him, and thought about how to save it.
"No, Mr. Ball, please allow me to introduce you solemnly." Lu Henglin's heart was beating fast, but his mind was clear. He quickly recalled all the content provided by Han Bingzheng about this opponent and future partner, using as relaxed and sure as possible attitude said.
He put his arm around Xia Chengqi's shoulder, "This Mr. Xia is the current acting president of our group. He has been a very important person to me since I was a teenager. Since then, we have known each other and relied on each other." .”
Xia Chengqi's pupils trembled slightly, but he controlled his expression well. Following Lu Henglin's introduction, he showed a determined smile.
Bauer didn't speak, but his expression changed slightly. He looked at Xia Chengqi, and his eyes were no longer sharp and indifferent.
Lu Henglin vaguely felt that he had made the right bet. He cleared his throat and continued, "In the past, all my successes were inseparable from his dedication. When I was drinking champagne with you on the 52nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, He fought for more benefits for me in those remote countries, and he never had any barriers with me. And when I had an accident and needed him the most, he came back in the fastest time without hesitation. Help me support the entire group. He knows that this cooperation is very important to me, so he has not slept more than five hours a day for this week. This is our sincerity, our sincerity from this community to your company .”
Ball finally showed a smile, "Lu, you are always so good at persuading. Let me meet your highly praised subordinate."
Lu Henglin held his hand and smiled, "No, he is not a subordinate, but my partner. Believe me, he will not let you down."
Ball smiled subtly.
Lu Henglin's heart was agitated, he turned his face to look at Xia Chengqi, for the first time unscrupulously showed his trust and expectation for him, and silently expressed his feelings to him with his eyes.
Xia Chengqi was taken aback by him for a moment, then quickly recovered his emotions, and smiled confidently at him, giving him unspeakable strength and peace of mind.
At that moment, the incomparable tacit understanding they had had in their teenage years seemed to come back again.
How he wished that they had fought side by side all these years and were intimate, how much he wished that this moment was all real.
The negotiation went on for three days, and finally got the result that everyone wanted. After more than a year of preparation for the negotiation process, the dawn of success finally ushered in.
At the moment when it was over, Lu Henglin and Xia Chengqi naturally looked at each other and smiled. All the entanglements seemed to be diluted by the joy of success. After fighting side by side for just a few days, they had completely regained all their tacit understanding and intimacy.
Although the barriers that exist objectively have not changed, they all seem to be satisfied with maintaining a mutual support and mutual dependence relationship in this common external environment, just as close as Lu Henglin described to Mr. Bauer.
Han Bingzheng was also very impressed by the acting skills of the two big guys, and he couldn't tell that these two were still fighting each other before.
Because Lu Henglin once mentioned the 52nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in his impassioned introduction, Bauer specially set up the final celebration banquet in the luxurious penthouse suite.
This 121-ping luxury suite designed by I.M. Pei is the most famous room in the Four Seasons Hotel with the best view.
Ball even said humorously, "This time, Lu, you don't have to be sorry, Mr. Xia can finally have a drink with us."
After the negotiation was over, all the personnel on both sides were more relaxed than ever. Ball was a bold alcohol lover in private, and champagne naturally couldn’t satisfy him. To express his appreciation for Lu Henglin, he prepared expensive Balvenie 50-year-old single malt whiskey .
Xia Chengqi was the first to pick up the wine glass, and explained to Lu Henglin apologetically, "He hasn't recovered yet, and he can't cope with the high-intensity work. Of course, he can't drink strong alcohol. If you don't mind, I will accompany you tonight." .”
Ball laughed, "Of course I don't mind, Xia, I also admire you very much. I am very envious of the close relationship between you and Lu. If you were my partner, I should be more successful."
Xia Chengqi put his arms around Lu Henglin's shoulders beside him, and calmly joked, "I am exclusive to Henglin, and I will only be for him all my life."
"Wow." Ball exclaimed.
Lu Henglin was stunned. At that moment, he felt his heart shake. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xia Chengqi's beautiful side face, hoping that all this was true. Xia Chengqi kept the promise he made when he was young and ignorant. cash.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Power." Xia Chengqi smiled and clinked glasses with him, "We Chinese have a saying that a thousand glasses of wine are rare when you meet a bosom friend. I will finish this glass. This is the sincerity of our Chinese drinking. I hope You enjoy yourself."
After speaking, he drank the wine with only ice cubes in one gulp.
Lu Henglin didn't know how much Xia Chengqi could drink when he was an adult, but according to his common sense, after such a high-intensity work with extreme lack of sleep, drinking alcohol would greatly stimulate the body, and he would also get drunk easily.
"that--"
Xia Chengqi noticed that he was trying to interrupt, so he pressed his hand directly, and then continued to raise his glass with a smile, drinking with other people, as if he would not get drunk, and clinked glasses with all the staff present decently.
Everyone had a good time drinking and celebrating a grand cooperation in the future. Only Lu Henglin was worried, but he had no other choice.
Sure enough, when Xia Chengqi left, he seemed to be walking relaxed and looking normal, but he was actually drunk and passed out as soon as he got in the car.
When he arrived at the hotel, Lu Henglin dragged him out of the car, only to feel that he was as soft as a puddle of mud, unable to hold him no matter what, and kept slipping out of his arms.
Lu Henglin's legs were still bad, and he was having a hard time walking. Han Bingzheng came up to help, and then brought Xia Chengqi back into the room.
"You go out first, I will take care of him." Lu Henglin didn't want Xia Chengqi's gaffe to be seen too clearly by his subordinates, so he sent Han Bingzheng away as soon as he entered the door and put him on the bed.
Han Bingzheng mistakenly thought that Mr. Lu had finally found a chance to take revenge, so he showed a knowing smile, closed the door and left in a hurry.
Lu Henglin always felt that Han Bingzheng's smile was as wretched as if he was helping the evil young man to stun a girl from a good family, so he frowned slightly.
Looking down at Xia Chengqi, his face was pale after being drunk, his lips were dry and peeling, and the blue under his eyes was even more prominent.He seemed a little uncomfortable, stretched out his hand to grab his tie, and frowned.
Lu Henglin thought for a while, and the feeling of distress overcame the hesitation. He reached out to help Xia Chengqi untie his tie.
Xia Chengqi suddenly held his hand, his fingertips were cold and his palm was soft.
"I didn't want to help you. Your tie looks nice. Let me see." Lu Henglin panicked and lied awkwardly.
But Xia Chengqi didn't seem to understand at all, and showed him a gentle and tender smile, which made his heart tremble.
"How could I have such a dream?" Xia Chengqi murmured, clenched his hand tightly and placed it on his face.
Lu Henglin was dragged by him blankly to hold his face, touched the smooth and warm skin, and rubbed his fingers as if consciously, his heartbeat became a little disordered, and his mind was in a mess.
Did Xiao Qi think that she was dreaming of herself?Does he dream of himself too?He smiled at himself like this in the dream, does it mean that he also had nostalgia for the past?
Lu Henglin felt that his heart seemed to come alive, beating violently in his chest to prove that he was still alive, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong, the atmosphere at the moment seemed too... ambiguous.
Then Xia Chengqi kissed his palm sideways.
Lu Henglin felt his brain explode with a bang, and his whole body was completely sluggish. The skin on the palm of his hand that was touched by his lips was instantly hot, as if it had been burned.
The moment when the unconscious Xia Chengqi bit his fingertips early in the morning came back to his mind.
"Are you really a gentleman in this dream?" Xia Chengqi tilted his head to look at him, smiling playfully.
Lu Henglin realized later, he thought it was a dream, who did he take himself for?ex-boyfriend?The mood dropped instantly, and the joy no longer existed.
"I miss you so much." The drunken Xia Chengqi's voice was a little muffled, sweet and viscous like melting ice cream.
It turned out that even in his dream, he still couldn't forget his ex-boyfriend.
It turned out that Xia Chengqi was so sweet and alluring in front of his ex-boyfriend.
Xia Chengqi stretched out his hand to grab his tie, Lu Henglin was dragged over unprepared, and got very close to him.
Lu Henglin felt that he was almost out of breath, and his heart was flustered and confused, but he couldn't move or think, as if he was resisting, but also as if he was expecting something.
"Why don't you kiss me, I'm so annoying in my dream." Xia Chengqi murmured, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him proactively.
Lu Henglin felt the tip of his soft tongue against his lips, like a cunning little fish, slipped in without paying attention, and danced around his tongue.
He could refuse, but he didn't, he let the other person's tongue entangle him, almost unable to restrain himself from wanting to kiss him back.
Lu Henglin was extremely annoyed when he came back to his senses. He was actually swayed by Xia Chengqi's kiss, and he was almost dazed.
The only dissatisfaction is that she was treated as another person in this lingering kiss.
Xia Chengqi finished kissing him, lay down tiredly, and said vaguely, "No, I'm so dizzy, I won't do it today, be good."
not do?Lu Henglin was still in a daze, and it took him a long time to react. His face was on fire in an instant, and his brain was on fire.
So Xiaoqi and her ex-boyfriend have already done it?
When he did—
Lu Henglin closed his eyes and hammered his head, so that he would not be so dirty thinking about what was there and what was not.
But when he calmed down, the lingering kiss just now came back to his mind, making him uneasy.
He also guessed what Xiaoqi looked like when he kissed, who would have thought that one day he would experience it himself?
He should have kissed his ex-boyfriend many times, so he is so proficient and seductive.
A sour bitterness began to glow in his heart. He just took advantage of it, but he had already begun to develop possessiveness that shouldn't be there... and jealousy.
Lu Henglin sat on the side and covered his face in frustration. He really is a useless high school student. Xia Chengqi just made a mistake after drinking, but his whole body was disturbed.
Before the negotiations began, all accompanying personnel were on standby.
When Lu Henglin looked solemn, he looked very serious, almost the same as the cold and handsome Mr. Lu.
