    Chapter 02

    Lin Hui has been distracted at work recently.

    Last time, Annie's casual sentence "How else could I keep you" reminded him of many things: for example, why did he, an outstanding graduate of the top agricultural university majoring in horticulture in China, come to Wanzhu, which has nothing to do with agriculture? Another example is how he stood out from many excellent job applicants and became He Jianshan's assistant? Even all the departments of the company are most concerned about, how on earth can Assistant Lin work under President He for eight years?

    Thinking of the last, Lin Hui smiled to himself.

    He didn't know why the people in Wanzhu were especially afraid of He Jianshan. Those who needed to report to him often were nothing more than those who had to report to him frequently. Even young girls who had just joined the job joked that they would not dare to fall in love with such a person. Isn't this handsome and rich tyrant very popular?

    He once seriously asked Annie this question. Annie joined the company at the same time as him and is now an old man of Wan Zhu. She shook her head when she heard it: "Don't you think it's really scary when Mr. He is serious?"

    Lin thought for a long time: "Is there? Hasn't he always been like that?"

    "Do you know the previous cooperation case with Zhenfeng? My God, the 40-year-old manager of the planning department, Liu, is about to cry."

    Lin Hui was even more confused: "When I was there, Mr. He didn't scold anyone, he just said, 'Look at what you wrote for yourself, are you planning to retire early?' To be fair, Manager Liu's project case Even after eight drafts have been revised, it cannot be finalized, and Mr. He is also very helpless."

    "The main reason is that the aura is too strong... that's not right!" Annie pretended to be angry, "Lin Zhu, why did you betray, and you turned your heart toward the capitalists?"

    Lin Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just talking about the matter, in fact, Wanzhu's salary and benefits are considered unique in the industry, and overtime is also freely regulated according to the progress of the project. The most important thing is that although the company has been established for a long time and has a large scale, its management is not rigid. Good vibe."

    Annie nodded in agreement: "That's true, the corporate culture is good." At this point, she sighed again: "Speaking of which, when we entered Wanzhu together, now my child is two years old, why are you still not in love? What do you like?"

    What do you like? Many people have asked Lin Hui this question, and every time they hear him, he always smiles and vaguely mentions it. However, he himself knew that in the bottom of his heart no one knew, there was a voice shouting over and over again:

    I like He Jianshan, like He Jianshan.

    On the weekend, Lin Hui invited his friend Luo Ting to have dinner together. At the dinner table, he casually mentioned that he was a little tired recently, and considered whether to take a break for a few days. Luo Ting teased and said, "You are making people haggard for Yixiao."

    Luo Ting was Lin Hui's university roommate. There were four people in one dormitory. When he graduated, the other two returned to their hometown. The rest of him and Luo Ting stayed in Jinghua. He entered Wanzhu, and Luo Ting took the teacher's qualification certificate. , teaching natural sciences in a private elementary school. When Lin Hui was on the Moments, he often saw him with a group of children raising flowers and catching insects, observing nature for a while, and doing interesting experiments for a while. Compared with Lin Hui's busy work every day, Luo Ting's life can be said to be colorful. .

    Luo Ting knew that Lin Hui said that Lin Hui liked men by himself. As a friend, this is not difficult to accept, to be precise, he is relieved. When Lin returned to college, he was a man of the school. There were many girls chasing him, and he helped pass milk tea several times. But this guy has always been lack of interest, and the brothers in the dormitory thought he had high vision and didn't like him. As a result, several years after graduation, Lin Hui was still single, and Luo Ting's wife didn't want to introduce him to a partner, which made him wonder if this person had a physical problem. Later, Lin Hui confessed that he likes men and has always had a crush on his boss. Luo Ting was relieved when he heard it: a good guy is better than being sick.

    Luo Ting took a sip of beer and continued: "Ah, I don't understand, is it worth it? Tell me about you, you have already guaranteed your studies at that time, isn't it bad to follow Mr. Luo? You have to give up your studies for He Jianshan's sake. , into what Wanzhu."

    Lin Hui reluctantly corrected him: "First of all, I didn't give up my further studies for He Jianshan, I only met him when I entered Wanzhu; secondly, it was originally for my grandma's gardening, she is gone, I have no motivation at all, I might as well take the place Give it to those who really need it; in the end, Wanzhu gave a lot."

    As soon as Lin Hui mentioned his grandmother, Luo Ting stopped talking.

    Lin Hui is a left-behind child. When he was very young, his parents went out to work and died unexpectedly. He was brought up by his grandmother. Luo Ting still remembers a professional class where the teacher asked them to take turns to talk about why they came to study "horticulture". Lin Hui said loudly: "My parents died when I was young, and my grandmother relied on it.

    farming

    Growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks for me to go to school. When I was in the sixth grade, the teacher arranged for us to write "the day when we grow up". I thought at that time, when I grow up, I must let my grandma eat all the vegetables and fruits I grow. "

    The whole class was shocked by Lin Hui.

    College students in their twenties are adults, but their minds are not mature. Whether it is between classmates or in front of teachers, everyone is always careful to avoid their indecent side. Only Lin Hui, candidly expresses the embarrassment and hardship he has experienced, neither humble nor arrogant - he did not deliberately sell miserable, nor pretend to be optimistic, only scorching pride and a gentle smile like the sunset glow in his eyes. meaning.

    "Then are you going on like this? It's been eight years. How many eight years are there in your life? You're so capable, it's time for him to get married and you might have to arrange the wedding."

    Luo Ting's words were not pleasing to his ears, but Lin Hui thought about it carefully, and it was really possible.

    "I'll leave when I can't take it anymore."

    "Brother, you are an adult, not a high school student. I think you need a result, whether it's good or bad, you have to give yourself an explanation."

    In fact, Lin Hui also had countless sleepless nights, lying on the bed with wide eyes and thinking: Do you want to confess and try?

    But he knows He Jianshan too well. He Jianshan is a person with a very clear distinction between public and private. If he fails to confess, even if he does not leave Wanzhu, he will be transferred to other places - all places far away from He Jianshan.

    He was reluctant to take such a risk.

    "He doesn't like men." Lin Hui lowered his head and took a sip of wine, his mouth full of sourness.

    "Didn't you say he wasn't in love last time? Maybe he likes men just like you."

    "What I said last time is that he is really very busy. All his daytime schedules are very full. For a period of time, he was so busy that he only slept 3 hours a day, and he felt that he had no time to fall in love, and he did not need to fall in love."

    Luo Ting smacked his tongue: "I feel you are not talking about people, but AI, and a ruthless working machine."

    Lin smiled back: "That's how he is. Our colleagues in the company gossip privately and think that girls shouldn't be able to stand such a boyfriend. And—"

    Lin Hui's smile faded: "I heard him say that he doesn't like men."

    After lunch, Lin went back to the company. Although it was a weekend, he invited Liu Hongrui from Yuntai Electric to talk about things in the afternoon. Liu Hongrui made several calls to ask him to have dinner, but Lin Hui pushed twice before. This time, he just made an excuse of being busy with work and asked to chat at the company. He drank some beer at noon and was not drunk, but his face was a little red. He has been like this all the time, drinking on his face, even a drop of it on his face, there is really nothing he can do.

    Lin went back to the bathroom to wash his face, then stood by the window of the reception room with his arms folded while waiting for someone. He had something on his mind, and his thoughts drifted far away, so he didn't pay attention to the familiar footsteps outside the door, so when He Jianshan arrived at the office, he saw this picture: Assistant Lin, who had always been tall and straight, was leaning lazily against the door. By the window, his body was hidden in the shadow of the curtains, and sporadic sunlight occasionally stopped in his lowered eyes, and the whole person looked lonely and tired——

    He seemed to be asleep.

    When this thought flashed through He Jianshan's mind for a moment, his feet immediately took a step back. However, before he had time to ponder why he had such an instinctive reaction, Lin Hui had already heard the movement - he turned his head, his eyes passed through the dust, and he met He Jianshan unexpectedly.

    Lin Hui seemed to be stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curved up. He still kept that posture, tilted his head slightly to say hello: "I have an appointment to talk about something." Maybe it was because of drinking a little wine that he was too lazy to start the serious work mode, and the whole person seemed a little loose.

    He Jianshan felt a little surprised.

    In the past few years, they have fought side by side for one project after another. In front of him, Lin Hui is always polite, serious and humble. He watched him go from a fledgling professional rookie to today's capable and reliable jack-of-all-trades executive, but he had never seen him so lazy.

    He remembered countless brightly lit nights, and Lin Hui asked him, "Mr. He, are you tired?"

    He suddenly wanted to ask, "Lin Hui, are you tired?"

    The author has something to say:
