Chapter 9

July 16, 2022 / / 1 Comment

       From that day onwards, the rain continued to fall for several days in a row.

       Apart from a few familiar customers who came to buy cigarettes every day, Chen Yuncheng’s kiosk did not do much business. The rain made him restless, and he couldn’t even watch the TV very much. He spent much of his time leaning on the counter, looking out at the cold, damp street.

       The rain stopped by the end of the day, but the streets outside were still very deserted. No one was seen passing by for a long time, and because of the gloomy weather. The sky darkened earlier than usual, and no light was visible before eight o’clock.

       Chen Yuncheng came out of the kiosk, stood for a while under the dim street lights, closed the store door, and walked outside against the dry ground under the eaves.

       After walking for more than 20 minutes, Chen Yuncheng turned into a gleaming street with many bars, each with its own dazzlingly lit sign. At night, the business was lively, and this was the gathering area for the X-ethnic people.

       Chen Yuncheng entered a familiar bar. Even though it was said to be familiar, he hadn’t been here for quite a long time. When he entered the bar, he found that most of the waiters had changed into unfamiliar faces, except for the owner, who was still the same.

       The bar owner’s wife was also a part of the X-ethnic people, but she was dressed no different from the local Han people. She sat at the bar and noticed someone approaching as she looked up and saw it was Chen Yuncheng.

       She flashed a smile at Chen Yuncheng, “Long time no see.” There was a subtle accent to the Chinese language she used that could not be detected unless one listened closely.

       Chen Yuncheng walked over and sat down in front of the bar, and said, “Yeah, long time no see.”

       The owner’s name was Namu. She looked like she was in her late twenties and early thirties. Her bar had been here for some years and Chen Yuncheng guessed she must be in her thirties, but never asked her.

       Namu said to Chen Yuncheng, “Why are you alone?”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, “Are single customers not welcome now?”

       Namu smiled and said, “You haven’t been here for a long time. I thought you got married.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “I’m not married. I just opened a shop, and I’ve been watching the shop at night, so I don’t have time to come out.”

       Namu didn’t continue to ask, but just asked him, “What would you like to drink?”

       Chen Yuncheng said casually, “A beer.”

       Namu turned around to pour a beer.

       Chen Yuncheng also turned around and glanced around the bar. It wasn’t too late and there weren’t too many customers in the bar at this time of night, so he could almost see all of them at once.

       He didn’t expect to find the two people that Long Zhanyu said easily. In fact, he wasn’t too keen on helping Long Zhan Yu find them. He knew that Long Zhanyu used him as an informant, but he didn’t like Long Zhanyu’s almost sort of coercive attitude. It was his duty as a citizen to report crimes, but it was not his responsibility as an ordinary citizen to find the suspects. So he could help if he wanted to, but if not, there was nothing Long Zhan Yu could do about it.

       Chen Yuncheng picked up the beer mug in front of him and took a sip. When he put down the beer mug, he suddenly felt a little warm, so he reached out and unzipped the down jacket and took it off.

       He placed the jacket on the back of the chair, and Chen Yuncheng took the phone out of his pocket. He saw a WeChat message from Ning Junyan with only a word that asked him, “Where?”

       Ning Junyan hadn’t contacted him for several days, and Chen Yuncheng didn’t know why Ning Junyan suddenly remembered him today. Chen Yuncheng stared at the message for a while and replied, “Where are you?”

       Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan sent him a photo, and Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised to find that it was the closed shutter door of his kiosk.

       “Why did you come all of a sudden?” Chen Yuncheng typed one after another, “I’m drinking at a bar, come over and I’ll buy you a drink.”

       After sending these two lines, Chen Yuncheng then sent his location over.

       Ning Junyan replied quickly, “Okay.”

       Until he put the phone on the bar, Chen Yuncheng still felt surprised. He didn’t understand why Ning Junyan came to look for him without greeting him in advance. It was also so late, and he didn’t know why Ning Junyan was looking for him. Did he want to have a chat?

       Namu had already returned to the inside of the bar counter. She was standing in front of Chen Yuncheng, with one hand resting on her face as she chatted with Chen Yuncheng, her perfume emitting a light scent.

       She asked Chen Yuncheng, “Why are you still single?”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled, “You want to introduce me to a girlfriend?”

       Namu actually responded seriously, “I know a few good girls, all of them are from the X ethnicity. Would you like to meet them?”

       Chen Yuncheng put his fingers on the cold glass outer wall of the wine glass and smiled, “Girls look down on me a lot. I have no money.”

       Namu said, “We X-ethnic people are different, our girls are not so snobbish, and they are all about feelings. You are so handsome, so there will definitely be girls who like you.”

       Chen Yuncheng said with a smile, “The men of your X-ethnic people are all tall and have deep facial features. I’m not really that handsome in comparison, I guess.”

       Namu smiled back as she said, “I think you are handsome.”

       Perhaps because it was not his mother tongue, Chen Yuncheng often felt that Namu was very direct in her words when she communicated, and there were not so many euphemisms and pedantry.

       He thought about it seriously, if he really wanted to get married, he didn’t mind whether the other party was from Han or X people, but he didn’t want Namu to introduce him to girls. He sometimes felt a bit lonely on his own but was not desperate to start a family, and what exactly he wanted in the future was something Chen Yuncheng himself had not yet considered.

       Namu chatted with him for a while and then left.

       Chen Yuncheng glanced at the time. It had been ten minutes since Ning Junyan sent him a message. If Ning Junyan drove from his store, he should have arrived long ago.

       He put down his phone and glanced around the bar subconsciously.

       This time, Chen Yuncheng saw a tall man come out from the direction of the bathroom. He was walking alone to a seat against the wall of the bar and sat down and hold his mobile phone to talk to someone on the phone.

       Even if the bar was dimly lit, Chen Yuncheng could still see the person’s appearance clearly. It was one of the X-ethnic people who Long Zhanyu had shown him the photo.

       Chen Yuncheng picked up his mobile phone, secretly took a photo of the man, and sent it directly to Long Zhanyu.

       Long Zhanyu immediately dialled his number and asked him, “Where?”

       Chen Yuncheng said the name and address of the bar.

       Long Zhanyu asked again, “Is he alone?”

       Chen Yuncheng gave a soft “En.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “Don’t alarm him, see if he has any contact with any local people later.”

       Then Chen Yuncheng made another “En” and hung up the phone.

       After a few minutes, Ning Junyan pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.

       Chen Yuncheng had his back to the door, but when he felt the cold wind blowing in from the door, he saw Namu in the bar suddenly looking up, so he turned his head to follow suit and saw Ning Junyan wearing a black cashmere coat.

       Ning Junyan’s appearance was too conspicuous. When he came in, many guests in the bar glanced at him, including the X-ethnic person who was leaning against the wall.

       The man had just finished the phone call, and when he looked up and saw Ning Junyan, no one knew what he was thinking. The man suddenly got up and walked towards the door.

       Chen Yuncheng saw him pass by Ning Junyan. Ning Junyan also saw Chen Yuncheng and was walking toward him.

       “I’ll transfer the drink money to you by WeChat,” Chen Yuncheng said to Namu. He took the beer mug and drank the last sip of beer in it, grabbed his down jacket and got up, and walked over to meet Ning Junyan.

       At this time, the X-ethnic person had already left the bar.

       Chen Yuncheng walked up to Ning Junyan, and before Ning Junyan spoke, he grabbed Ning Junyan’s wrist and pulled him out, and whispered in his ear, “Follow me.”

       Ning Junyan glanced down at his wrist and walked out of the bar behind Chen Yuncheng.

Chapter 3

July 16, 2022 / / 1 Comment

       How many times had this been?

       Soyo couldn’t remember how many people had asked him for his contact details, not that he was being presumptuous, but he could almost confirm that this man’s intention was not a simple ‘thank you’.

       Although Suo Yang dared not say that he has read countless people, but he understood the implicit meaning in human beings very well.

       People were not as good at concealing their desires as they thought. Some people write desires on their faces, and some on their eyes.

       This Mr. Shen in front of him seemed to be more sincere and a little more intelligent than some of the people before, and his method of asking for contact information was more sophisticated. In this way, even if he was rejected, it would not be too awkward.

       Neither of them would be too embarrassed.

       Suo Yang was still polite and thoughtful, and said with a smile, “You’re too kind. I’m just doing what I should do.”

       After that, he wished Shen Huiming a pleasant journey once again, before he turned around and left.

       Shen Huiming stood at the same spot without rushing to leave. His fingers gently rubbed the cut on his airline ticket holder again, his gaze kept falling on the man who had already walked away.

       Suo Yang was not short. Standing in front of Shen Huiming, who is 1.87 meters tall, he could almost see him at eye level. The appearance of the other party in uniform reminded Shen Huiming of pygmy bamboo1. Even just looking at the back of the other party made Shen Huiming feel relaxed and it was enjoyable.

       Is this the legendary pleasing to the eye kind of person?

       Shen Huiming smiled and thought that this airline was quite good at selecting people.

       Suo Yang had already drowned in the crowd of people at the airport. Shen Huiming, who failed to strike up a conversation, didn’t feel too disappointed and turned back to wait for the arrival of his luggage.

       He secretly set a romantic definition for this flight—as a trip fling.

       Although it was only his one-sided affair.

       This is quite interesting, Shen Huiming thought as he dragged his suitcase out. A rose suddenly bloomed in his dull life. Although it was only a mirage that dissipated in the blink of an eye, his fatigue was swept away and he could go to the meeting in full energy.

       Shen Huiming’s company had encountered some difficulties recently. Although it was not a matter of life and death, if this partnership could be obtained, there was no need to be nervous even if they did not take on new projects in the next few years.

       But if the deal didn’t go through, then this project would fall into the hands of the competitors, and they would probably be suppressed for a long time.

       It was precisely because of this importance that Shen Huiming came to talk in person.

       Before he came, he knew which leprechaun he was going to deal with. Although he had a headache, he was well prepared.

       Shen Huiming was taken to the hotel by the assistant who came to pick him up at the airport. He washed off his dusty body and changed into a decent suit. He looked calm and poised.

       The two set off for the venue.

       The assistant said, “Mr. Shen, are you sure you really don’t need to rest for a while?”

       “No,” Shen Huiming said, “I understand that guy. If I don’t meet him first when I come, he’ll make sure to take advantage of the situation.”

       Who was the target of the negotiation?

       It was a classmate from his undergraduate days, someone who had once treated him as an imaginary rival in love.

       Shen Huiming felt that he was wronged. At that time, he lived a little far from the school, and he drove to and from school every day, picking up other students on the way.

       At that time, there was a boy who was quite close to him, but no matter how close they were, he was only a friend. Shen Huiming had no intention of being in a relationship at that time.

       He had no intention, but the other guy had an intention.

       Unexpectedly, it attracted the dissatisfaction of the rival.

       Everyone was in their twenties when they were students. No matter how precocious they were, they were still young and naive compared to today.

       Back then, Shen Huiming was not as calm as he was now. He was annoyed by a few words and fought with the other party.

       It was the first and only time in his life that he had fought with someone. The two of them had a tie, and neither of them got any advantage.

       Later, although the two were still classmates, they were almost on the opposing side.

       The guy who was the main cause of the argument between them didn’t end with either of them later. In their junior year, that guy made a white boyfriend, saying that he enjoyed some fine lovemaking.

       Shen Huiming smiled at this, but the ‘rival in love’ who had fought with him felt that he was offended. At lunch one day, he sat in front of Shen Huiming with a dinner plate.

       The other said, “I’m actually not smaller than a white man.”

       Shen Huiming looked at the other person in surprise and then both of them laughed.

       Later on, they unexpectedly become friends, and the other party learns that Shen Huiming had no intention of being a rival in love with him at all.

       If that was the end, then today’s cooperation was actually quite easy to talk about. However, the problem was that they then fell out again.

       Like God’s will, whoever that person liked would take a fancy to Shen Huiming.

       It was not that the other party’s conditions were much worse than Shen Huiming’s. On the contrary, Shen Huiming always felt that others were more popular than himself, but he couldn’t escape this curse.

       Once after a drink, the two of them disagreed, but they didn’t quarrel, but the conversation fell apart and they never spoke to each other again.

       That was undeniably childish indeed.

       After that, the two hardly contacted. Shen Huiming heard that the other party had been staying in New York, but he just heard about it. He didn’t expect the world to be so big and yet so small that they would meet again at the negotiating table.

       When Shen Huiming walked into the building, he thought to himself that a fierce battle was about to begin.

       Suo Yang and the others had a layover in New York and flew back the next morning.

       In the first year or two, people regarded this as a so-called ‘company-paid travel’, where they could play wherever they stopped, but gradually, they began to prefer to rest in hotels rather than go out to play.

       They didn’t toss and turn anymore.

       When they arrived at the hotel, Suo Yang shared a room with a colleague. He was a young guy in the economy class, and his name was Qiu Chao, who also came last year, with He Tian.

       This young guy was fun-loving and talkative. He usually talked a lot, but he was not a bad person by nature.

       As soon as he put down his suitcase, Qiu Chao said excitedly, “Yang ge, do you want to play later?”

       As Suo Yang changed his clothes and prepared to take a bath, he said, “Go ahead, I can’t toss around.”

       “No!” Qiu Chao followed him to the door of the bathroom, “If you don’t go, I’ll be the only guy, I’m shy!”

       Suo Yang laughed, “You’re still shy?”

       “Why not! I’m super shy!” Qiu Chao leaned against the door frame of the bathroom and begged him, “Yang ge, let’s go with me, or else the girls won’t like to take me.”

       Suo Yang looked at him, smiled helplessly, and finally nodded.

       “Ouye!” Qiu Chao cheered directly at the door and was immediately locked out.

       Suo Yang was really not a frequent visitor to a place like a bar. If he didn’t have friends and colleagues to show up, he would never come himself.

       It wasn’t that he had anything against such places, he was just lazy.

       And he didn’t know if it was because he had really gotten ‘old’ in the past two years. He began to prefer to stay at home quietly. Usually, he was busy and tired from work, and it was better to rest at home if he had time.

       He followed the noisy handsome guys and beauties into the bar, most of them were blonde and blue-eyed white men and women as far as the eye could see.

       Suo Yang walked last and sighed softly.

       Even if he was going to a bar, he should have gone to a gay bar.

       With a wry smile, he continued to walk in.

       A few people came over, some for drinking, some for dancing, and Suo Yang was purely to accompany the guests.

       He sat there casually looking around, drinking a drink that feel like much.

       Occasionally someone came to strike up a conversation, it was all girls, and he politely refused.

       In the second half of the night, it was too stuffy and tiring. Suo Yang couldn’t say he wanted to leave first, so he had to find an excuse to go out and get some air.

       He went out of the bar and stood on the side of the road blowing wind.

       It was September, and there was a cool light rain.

       He walked along the street in boredom. There were far fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the road at this time.

       “Suo Yang?”

       His name was suddenly called, and Suo Yang turned around.

       He was surprised as the man get out of a car, and vaguely remembered that the man’s surname was Shen.

(Vol.2) Chapter 12 – Become the door guardian while I leave

July 16, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 12 – Become the door guardian while I leave

 

The person outside the villa did not affect Xing Zhongwan’s sleep and he slept till dawn. He got up in the morning and simply washed up, put on some exercise clothes and went downstairs for a morning run. Before that, he connected his headset and dialed his secretary’s phone. Due to the time difference, Xing Zhongwan was used to dealing with his conglomerate’s affairs in the morning. While listening to the secretary reporting his daily appointments in an orderly manner, Xing Zhongwan opened the door and walked out.

 

The car was still there, as well as the people too. It wasn’t very bright in the morning during early winter after six o’clock. Xing Zhongwan put on a pair of earphones and turned a blind eye to the man standing at the door. He instructed his secretary with a few words to make some preparations before running around the community.

 

Shen Congxin leaned against the car door and bit into a fruit pancake. He felt that his cousin-in-law’s figure was really priceless. If only he could have half of his build. When he turned his head in disappointment, he accidentally saw Qi Yun. Seeing the man who hadn’t slept all night while acting as the door guardian, staring into the direction where Xing Zhongwan ran away in a trance made Shen Congxin swallow the pancakes in his mouth with difficulty, “Big cousin, we have to go back. It’s almost time for you to go back and change your clothes at nine o’clock in the morning.”

 

Qi Yun didn’t reply and just stood there in a daze. Qi Yun told himself not to be sad about Xing Zhongwan’s attitude towards himself because it was just a front, so his heart was very steady. It was okay to ignore him, as long as he could see him, it was fine.

 

Qi Yun closed his red eyes, he really should leave.

 

When he moved his already stiff legs and feet, the piercing pain hit him and he almost couldn’t stand. The bodyguard beside him stepped forward to help him but he was stopped. He opened the car door and sat in the car. His face did not look good as Shen Congxin handed him a thermos cup. Qi Yun did not raise his hand to accept it, but instead covered his forehead, “You stay and watch.”

 

Shen Congxin opened the door and prepared to get out of the car when Qi Yun suddenly changed his mind, “Forget it. Wanwan doesn’t like people watching him, let’s go.”

 

Shen Congxin moved his aching buttocks from sitting all night, “Big cousin, what if my big cousin-in-law goes back to country X?”

 

Qi Yun silently looked out the window. Shen Congxin stopped asking questions as this is what his big cousin is afraid of. If his cousin-in-law really leaves, will he chase him or not? He was not happy after chasing his cousin-in-law, but he was also unsettled if he didn’t chase him. Whatever he did, it was all wrong.

 

Xing Zhongwan ran back while the sky turned bright. The cars and people downstairs have gone. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he entered the door passcode and entered the villa. Turning on the TV to watch the news, Xing Zhongwan took a bath, changed his clothes and came out in good spirits. He was just pouring himself a glass of milk when the doorbell rang.

 

Xing Zhongwan opened the door, it was the courier company. The dozen or so large boxes stunned him. He signed the order and asked the delivery man of the courier company who delivered it. Just as he was about to call Xue Qing, his cell phone rang. The number was an unfamiliar one, so Xing Zhongwan picked it up. There was some noise on the other side, but Xing Zhongwan was familiar with the voice of the speaker.

 

“Have you returned home? I sent over a few things you could use…I…have you had breakfast?” Qi Yun’s tone seemed to be deliberating for a long time, but Xing Zhongwan was not surprised that he was so quick to find his mobile phone number. This was not country X, so it was quite difficult to conceal his actions from him.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt very irritated while looking at the dozen large boxes, “First of all, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it.” After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone neatly and then called the community property staff to find a few people to throw the things away. The dozen or so big boxes didn’t even get a chance to be opened and looked at. He then got out his car keys and got ready to go out for a walk. He will be leaving tomorrow so he wanted to have a good meal. Just after he put on one of his shoes, Xue Qing’s phone call came. Xing Zhongwan felt funny. Why are you giving me a call so early in the morning? 

 

“Laoxing, Zhong Gang has been admitted to the hospital and he won’t be able to come out for ten days to half a month. During this time, you should take care of the branch’s affairs.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stopped putting on his shoes and switched his hand to answer the phone, “That can’t be, he was still so lively last night. How did he end up in the hospital and won’t be able to get out for ten days to half a month? What’s the situation?”

 

“He has delayed his appendix operation until now for the company. Yesterday he was in pain and went to the hospital to get help. As a boss, show some conscience.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, “What appendix operation? Is it so serious that he needs to be hospitalized for ten days to half a month?”

 

Xue Qing explained, “He hasn’t ever taken an annual leave for two years since he came to China, so you should give him some time. He needs a good rest. Don’t talk nonsense. There are so many people looking after the head office for you. But not the branch office. I have something to do with Laocheng and we are going to fly back today. That’s all, so let’s hang up.”

 

“Hey! Hey! Hey!” Xing Zhongwan looked at the phone blankly. Zhong Gang, you really chose this time to be sick.

 

Zhong Gang, who wasin very much pain, was indeed admitted to the hospital. It was true that he had dragged the appointment to cut his appendix. He had the operation last night, but he didn’t have the absolute need to rest for ten days to half a month. When Xue Qing called, he was pressed by Cheng Zhengzhe on the hospital bed as he listened to Xue Qing’s serious nonsense, who described his hard-working image, working for the company until he became so weak that he would fall if the wind blew on him. The only thing that made him happy was that Cheng Zhengzhe was next to his body. Being sick had its perks. 

 

“Zhong Gang, during this period of time, you should take a vacation and take a good rest. If Laoxing asks, you can just say you don’t feel good. Didn’t you always say that this branch was treated like an adopted son? Let him watch over it these few days, and let Laocheng stay and take care of you.”

 

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Gang’s handsome face immediately lit up and Cheng Zhengzhe immediately jumped several meters away from him, “I’m leaving, I’d rather go to shit.”

 

Xue Qing lifted her wrist to look at the time, “Stop talking, I have to go. Remember, don’t let unnecessary words slip from your mouth.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe followed closely behind her and Xue Qing was extremely disgusted, “Stay and take care of Zhong Gang.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe’s face turned pale, “A nurse is enough for him. Is he such a delicate big man?”

 

When Zhong Gang heard this, he immediately covered his wound and groaned. Cheng Zhengzhe frowned and crossed Xue Qing to open the door before quickly walking out.

 

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Gang smiled bitterly and said to Xue Qing, “I’m not in a hurry, give him time.” Xue Qing really wanted to step forward and kick him when he saw Zhengzhe’s noncommittal appearance, “Then I’ll go first back first and settle some things. I’ll come back when I’m done. I’ll have to trouble you and Emma during this time. The matter of Qi Yun depends on Laoxing’s attitude, if he doesn’t say anything, we’ll just do our part.”

 

Zhong Gang nodded to show his understanding and Xue Qing then went to catch the plane with confidence.

 

As soon as Xue Qing and Cheng Zhengzhe left, Xing Zhongwan came in the afternoon and came to visit his good employee with a fruit basket and flowers.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Zhong Gang up and down. This man looked well to him although Xue Qing said on the phone that he was going to die. He took a deep breath, “You have a good rest. You can ask Emma to handle the affairs of the branch, as well as leave it to me.”

 

“Has boss gotten used to living there? Please tell me if you need anything during your time in China.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out an apple from the fruit basket and tossed it in the air twice. “I really need a car.”

 

Zhong Gang picked up his mobile phone and made a call to his secretary. Soon the secretary came over with the keys and Zhong Gang handed them to Xing Zhongwan, “Boss, this is the key to the basement below the branch office. If you like the cars in it, please take them.”

 

Xing Zhongwan bit the apple and took the key unceremoniously before gesturing to him an ‘ok’.

 

Xing Zhongwan left the hospital and went to the basement of the branch office. When he opened the basement door, he couldn’t help but whistle. Zhong Gang really collected a lot of good cars. Xing Zhongwan went in and looked at the cars before taking out his mobile phone. He called the secretary far away in country X, “I guess it will take a while. Ask No. 3 and No. 4 to prepare to fly over as soon as possible.” In Xing Zhongwan’s secretary office, all of the secretaries were numbered for the convenience of summoning them. He thinks that since he has to stay with the people around him for a while, he has to be able to use them easily so his work efficiency will be greatly improved if he transferred the people from the head office over here.

 

Choosing a black 4×4 vehicle, Xing Zhongwan drove out of the basement and onto the elevated road. Xing Zhongwan frowned and decided to buy a car.

 

When he arrived at the 4S store, he was told that it would take more than a month for all the cars he wanted to be imported. Xing Zhongwan was depressed and simply called the secretary to have his car shipped by air. Only then did he decide on a place to eat at, with satisfaction. As soon as he started the car, his phone rang. Xing Zhongwan glanced at the number and didn’t want to answer it. But the caller obviously didn’t want to give up, so his phone kept ringing. Xing Zhongwan glanced at the phone’s battery and took it without a choice, “Hello?” 

 

After a while of silence, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, “It’s time to eat. Have you eaten?”

 

“Don’t call me again.”

 

After speaking, Xing Zhongwan neatly hung up the phone and blocked the number.

 

Qi Yun stared blankly at the phone with a black screen before dialing it, but the line was always busy. As the secretary on the side watched his face get darker little by little, his voice which had been reporting on work also got softer and softer. Qi Yun covered his phone on the table. Who knew what he was thinking. The door of the office opened and the visitor said a few words in the secretary’s ear, before he signaled for him to go out with a smile on his face, “There is news from the foreign affairs office that the young madam has extended his visa period.”

 

Qu Yun raised his head. The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but tug upwards. If that was extended, does it mean that he won’t be leaving in the near future?

 

The secretary knew that Qi Yun was happy, “I heard that the young madam went to look at car today, but he didn’t choose any.”

 

Qi Yun got up and walked a few steps, his pale face was probably brightened by the happiness in his heart, “Call Shen Congxin.”

 

It was past 10 pm when Xing Zhongwan returned to the villa. He ran on the treadmill for half an hour, took a shower and got ready to sleep. He passed by the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw some people downstairs with the same car as last night.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at the time. It was after eleven o’clock at night. Was this person not going to sleep? With a cold snort, he turned off the lights and went upstairs. He didn’t know that the man downstairs was stunned for a long time because of his figure passing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

 

Qi Yun was very tired. After a day’s journey, his body urgently needed a rest, but he couldn’t help himself. The urge to see Xing Zhongwan made his tired body extremely excited. He just wanted to watch him quietly, even if he did not see anyone, he just wanted to guard his house.

 

He took out the medicine bottle from his pocket, poured two pills out before swallowing them raw. Three months later, there will be the general election, and various events will follow. Qi Yun was considered young to be in his current position, and there were many people who were jealous and wanted to pull him down. On the surface, he has been promoted very quickly in the past few years, but only he himself knew how much suppression and how many conspiracies there were. He made it step by step, soaked in blood, and he was only one step away from the top. He should keep a low profile and not let people get a handle on his weakness but he didn’t want to. He knew very well who he was here for, fighting for things he didn’t like and doing bloody things for half his life. He was tired, but he couldn’t stop. Because his Wanwan is too good, he must have the ability to keep his current position if he wants to keep Wanwan. Qi Yun can only imagine how much resistance there will be for someone of his identity and Wanwan’s identity to be together, but he is not afraid of trouble. Xing Zhongwan was the luck of his life, and Qi Yun was willing to use all of his’ to get him back.

 

Xing Zhongwan got up early in the morning and was about to visit the branch office. When he went out, Qi Yun was gone, but what was going on with the dozen or so sports cars parked at the door?

 

It was not known where Shen Congxin popped out from, “Big cousin, you You want to go out.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pointed to a row of cars at the door, “What’s going on?”

 

Shen Congxin ‘hehe’-ed, “Seven days a week you can choose any car to your liking. If you don’t like them, I will change them until you like them.”

 

Xing Zhongwan beckoned to him while looking at the rows of very exaggerated supercars of different colors. Shen Congxin ran over happily. He was much shorter than Xing Zhongwan, so he could only raise his head to look at him, “Cousin-in-law, do you have something to tell me?”

 

Xing Zhongwan squinted slightly and those long and narrow eyes looked straight at him. Watching this scene so early in the morning made him a little riled up. Shen Congxin’s nose started to heat up again after being hit by this beauty.

 

“Change what you call me and we can still be friends. Do you know where to have fun at night around here?” 

 

Xing Zhongwan really liked this child. He was happy-go-lucky which made others happy when they saw him too. He truthfully didn’t want to see Qi Yun, but there was no need to turn his anger on Shen Congxin.

 

Shen Congxin took a breath, “That, of course I know. Cousin-in… Ai, Zhongwan bro, I’ll take you there.”

 

 Xing Zhongwan smiled and pointed to the row of cars, “Take these all back. Parking here will only block the road for others.”

 

After speaking, he turned around and got into Zhong Gang’s plain-looking 4×4 vehicle.

 

Qi Yun, you are too fast. When I wanted to buy a car in the front, you have already sent the cars here in the back.

 

He called Zhong Gang, “Zhong Gang, how many houses do you own?”

 

T/N: Yes. It’s exactly what you think it is. He’s going to keep moving around as long as Qi Yun pesters him. Well… pester might be an overly strong word to use.
