The plane rushed into the altitude of 10,000 meters and dragged out a long trail cloud.

Unlike flying in other areas, the sky in Hanas is cloudless, and through the window of the plane, you can vaguely see the Altai Mountains.

Ning You just stared at the scenery outside the window in such a trance. After the most chaotic period of time, he has now completely calmed down.

"Ning You?" Li Chao, who was beside him, interrupted Ning You's mind wandering, "The flight attendant asked what drink do you want."

"Juice, thank you." Ning You said.

When the flight attendant pushed the trolley away, Li Chao put down the coffee in his hand and said to Ning You, "You seem to be very inactive."

Ning You lowered her eyes and drank the juice quietly, it was really hard to mention the ** of chatting. But out of courtesy, he put down the cup and said to Li Chao, "I haven't slept well these days."

"I can tell." Li Chao said, "If I had known it was Li Mu, I would have told him to take good care of you."

The name that Ning You was thinking about suddenly appeared in the topic, and his chatter suddenly rushed out like a flood of open gates.

In fact, Li Mu took good care of him, but it was inconvenient for him to reveal too much to Li Chao.

Obviously, Li Mu didn't want Li Chao to see the flaws, so when Li Chao suggested that the three of them go to a hotel outside the scenic spot for dinner, he drove back to the mountain on the grounds that he had something to do.

When Ning You's mind was the most chaotic, it was when he watched Li Muyuan go.

According to the original idea, Li Mu should indeed leave the country, but now the situation has changed dramatically. Ning You's fiancé is Li Mu's brother. He has countless reasons to stay, even to the two of them. The marriage contract presents its own opinion.

But he didn't.

From this incident, Ning You vaguely guessed that although the two brothers had different business ideas, there was no crack in their relationship.

At least in the short ten minutes when the three met, Li Muying had not fully digested the impact of this scene, and had not thought about what to do next, so he chose to avoid it.

In fact, Ning You is the same.

He avoided talking about his relationship with Li Mu in front of Li Chao, which was also a kind of avoidance, or an escape.

It is difficult for a person to make a rational decision immediately at the moment of shock. What's more, the current situation is still so complicated, both for Ning You and Li Mu, it will take a little time to digest.

After it is completely digested, you can find a way to deal with it.

Although avoiding is a subconscious move of the two, they must always be prepared to be explicit, otherwise this is also disrespect to Li Chao.

After calming down the turbulent mood, Ning You looked at Li Chao and asked, "Don't you know that Li Mu is a forest ranger in Xinjiang?"

"I don't know." Li Chao smiled helplessly, took a sip of his coffee, "That stinky boy is haunted, sometimes at home, sometimes abroad."

"I heard," Ning You paused, "he is a person who doesn't do his job properly."

Naturally, this news didn't come from the Li family. It was Ning You who asked Xiao Zhao to do some research. It is said that the Li family has a young son who doesn't care about the family's business and is idle all day.

"It depends on how you define 'zhengye'." Li Chao shrugged, "He did not participate in the operation of the company, but I admire him for his dedication to environmental protection."

Hearing this, Ning You was almost certain that the two brothers had a good relationship.

"You admire it, but..." Ning You hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak bluntly, "You don't agree."

Li Chao put down the cup, raised his eyebrows to look at Ning You, and asked, "He told you about the family?"

Li Chao is really a person with a very sharp mind. He can hear deeper information from Ning You's words, and he doesn't need Ning You to say it at all.

"Probably talked." Ning You said, "But I didn't know it was your home."

Li Chao nodded, crossed his hands and fingers, and placed them on his lapped thighs. Ning You could see that he was buying time, thinking about how to answer.

Although the two brothers look somewhat similar in appearance, there are distinct differences between them.

When Li Chao treats Ning You, he is treating business partners. He always pays attention to polite words. When answering things about the company, he will definitely think carefully first.

As for Li Mu, don't count on polite words, it's good for him not to let Ning You defecate anywhere.

Ning You couldn't help but think of a question. From the perspective of the company, Li Chao was indeed the best candidate for marriage.

Because marriage is not only a business cooperation, but also an in-depth cooperation between the two families. After Li Chao and Ning You get married, they will gradually get in touch with Ning's affairs. For enterprises, they really need a mature and stable "consort" like Li Chao.

Thinking of being mature and stable, Ning You had a headache again. He actually called Li Mu brother Li Mu honestly, and he almost deleted this memory from his life.

"Environmental protection is a double-edged sword, which is good and bad for enterprises." Li Chao said slowly, "Doing a good job in environmental protection can improve the corporate image, but at the same time, it has to sacrifice more interests. . Which approach do you support more?"

The topic was thrown to Ning You again, and it really felt familiar - the routine of the people in the city.

Between the two, Ning You was in an advantageous position, and he didn't need to speak carefully, so he said bluntly: "I support environmental protection."

Li Chao's expression didn't change in any way, but his eyes became obviously unfathomable.

Ning You deliberately brought up the topic of environmental protection, of course, not to discuss the future development of the company with Li Chao, but to secretly express his attitude - he was on Li Mu's side.

He knew that Li Chao was a sensible person, so he believed that only with this little information, Li Chao could hear the deeper meaning - between the two brothers, Ning You and Li Mu were more familiar.

If you think about it, this is actually a matter of course.

Counting today, Ning You and Li Chao only met three times, but Ning You and Li Mu stayed together for five days.

In terms of time, Li Mu is also the one with the more advantage.

Thinking about it further, what happened to Ning You and Li Mu in the past few days is also a thought-provoking question.

Ning You couldn't tell Li Chaoming that he slept with his younger brother, but he could use this hint to let Li Chao understand that his relationship with Li Mu was not easy, so that he could test him through Li Chao's reaction. Attitude.

Returning from the forest to the city is not only a change in the atmosphere, but also a change in Ningyou's social style.

Although he doesn't like this way of talking like tai chi, as a qualified social person, he must consider that some unpleasant words cannot be said on the stage.

Judging from Li Chao's eyes, it was obvious that he had received Ning You's message.

He touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "But neither of our two companies takes the route of environmental protection."

"I know." Ning You said, "So what do you think next?"

"Instead of talking about my thoughts, let's talk about your thoughts." Li Chao hit the straight ball back again, "Actually, before Li Mu left home, the company seriously discussed whether to let him participate in core affairs, and the result was All shareholders disagree with his environmentally friendly line."

"Really." Ning You was not surprised, he heard Li Chao's subtext - it had nothing to do with his own thoughts, it was the decision of all the shareholders of the company.

After thinking about it, the marriage of the two is not only the matter of the Li family, but also the matter of the Ning family. Even if Ning You wanted the company to take the environmental protection route, as the chief engineer, he could not make this decision, and he was very Like Li Mu's situation, it was rejected by all shareholders.

If you think about it further, perhaps Ning's shareholders will not agree to let the "politically incorrect" Li Mulai be Ning's concubine.

Both Li Chao and Ning You had something to say. They fought Tai Chi several times, but they had to admit that Ning You's position was indeed weaker.

"Ning You, this is a world of looking at money." Li Chao finally said what he thought, "I like my brother very much, but I won't let him take my place."

Ning You took a deep breath and drank the juice in the cup.

Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was a little heavy, Li Chao changed the subject to a lighter one: "Do you know why that stinky boy Li Mu loves environmental protection?"

Ning You shook his head, although he didn't want to continue talking, it was a topic he was interested in.

"Because he studied abroad, he accepted some ideas that he thought were advanced." Li Chaodao.

"You don't feel advanced." Ning You said.

"No, I said that I admire him very much, but everything has good and bad." Li Chaodao.

This statement was very objective, and Ning You could not refute it. He found that the two brothers were very thoughtful, but they valued different things, so there were differences in philosophy, but they respected each other and did not interfere with each other.

"Perhaps," Ning You thought, "you can set up a special environmental protection department."

"Are you talking about pretending?" Li Chao said, "This department must have a very low priority."

"It's not impossible." Anything is better than nothing.

"Ning You, I know him better than you." Li Chaodao said, "He doesn't like these stupid things."

"……really."

Ning You also knew this, he had mentioned donations to Li Mu, but Li Mu wanted him to take care of the environment from his own perspective.

The atmosphere seemed to become stiff again, Ning You suddenly thought of another thing and asked, "By the way, how old is he?"

"Twenty-five." Li Chao said, "but many people think he is about the same age as me."

twenty five……

This bastard even asked him to call him brother.

Ning You couldn't help laughing or crying, but this emotion passed quickly, and his heart was full of loneliness again.

He looked out the window, the sky was gradually darkening, maybe his expression was not well hidden, Li Chao looked at him and said, "You don't seem to want to go back."

Ning You was really reluctant, but he didn't want to go back. Because about the marriage contract, he can only make specific plans after he goes back.

"No." He murmured, looking at the winding and endless mountains beneath his feet, "I just fell in love with this land."

The plane landed in Jinshi, and after Li Chao had sent Ning You off, he returned to his home. It was almost midnight.

He took off the fatigue of the past few days, turned on the music in the living room, and poured himself a glass of red wine.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a black and gold urban night scene. No matter how deep the night is, there are always vehicles speeding on the golden light strips, forming a stream of light one after another.

During the rare free time in the day, Li Chao was enjoying the night view while sipping red wine, when the phone on the sofa suddenly rang.

He looked at the caller ID and couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?" Li Chao answered the phone.

"Are you home?" A familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"It's here." Li Chao said.

"Is your parents okay?"

"Come on, stinky boy." Li Chao said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The other end of the phone fell silent, and after a while, Li Mu's calm voice sounded: "I want Ning You."

Li Chao was not surprised. He shook the red wine glass and said nothing: "I'll consider it."
