    ☆、Chapter 65

    After a week's rest, Xia Zichen officially returned to work in the company, and his life was still on schedule. After Xia Yuze went to work at Gu's, the location was much closer to Gu Xu's company. If they were free at night, Xia Zichen and Gu Xu would choose to accompany Xia Yuze to dinner, and sometimes Gu Yan would also join, and the family got along more and more harmoniously.

    The current situation of the Lei family is still unclear. I heard that the two brothers are fighting fiercely for family property, and both of them want more. The body that is about to die is even worse, and now it is more comatose and less awake.

    After the news that the old man of the Lei family was dying, the partners who had cooperated before began to withdraw quietly, and those who had intended to cooperate in the past gradually distanced themselves and even disappeared. Lei Cheng and Lei Xin feel that he is pretty good, but anyone with a little brain can see that the Lei family without Mr. Lei is over. And how many businessmen who can get ahead now are fools? Nature is how far to run. As for the Shen family and the Fan family, they were trapped inside, and they couldn't get out of it.

    After Xia Yuze entered the Gu family, he never saw Lei Xin again. Xia Zichen took a vacation, went to work with Gu Xu every day, and never saw him again. This is the best thing for the father and son, Leixin disappeared, and their days returned to their former calm.

    What they didn't know was that Lei Xin had indeed come to Shengchen to find Xia Zichen. He didn't dare to force his way in, as long as Xia Yuze didn't want to see him, the security guard downstairs would dutifully drive people away, so he chose Shengchen who felt more comfortable. It's just that Gu Xu was well prepared. When Xia Zichen was on vacation, he arranged all the security personnel, including professional bodyguards. The floor where the finance department was located was specially sent to guard. In order not to cause confusion among employees, Gu Xu explained that it will be more chaotic by the end of the year, and strengthening the company's security measures is also to make everyone work more at ease.

    Therefore, Xia Zichen didn't have much doubts about this, and continued to do his part. Lei Xin came twice in the middle, and was sent away by the bodyguard downstairs. The matter was covered up at Xia Zichen's place, anyway, Xia Zichen didn't care much about it.

    Entering January, it is reasonable to say that the busyness of the end of the year should come to an end, but Shengchen Technology did not show any signs of relaxing, on the contrary, it was busier.

    The cooperation project that has been striving for before has entered the final stage, and it depends on how the other party finally chooses. In addition to Shengchen, several online game companies are also striving for this cooperation. Compared with those online game companies, Shengchen is a new online game company. Get ready to dip in Gu's light. But just because Shengchen is a new star, many ideas and ideas are more innovative and unique, and they are more in line with the preferences of today's online game players, which is also its most competitive aspect.

    After finishing the work at hand, Xia Zichen closed his slightly astringent eyes, got up and left his seat, ready to relax in the corridor. It is very easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, Xia Zichen is used to drinking a cup of coffee to wake up a little. During this time, Gu Xu has been busy and has meetings almost every afternoon. The secret afternoon tea date between the two had to be temporarily cancelled.

    When walking to the tea room, Xia Zichen noticed that there was a tall man standing by the window where he was accustomed to rest when he was resting. There was only a silhouette. Xia Zichen did not recognize who it was. After all, there were too many people in the company, and he could not recognize all of them. . But the man didn't feel like an ordinary employee to him.

    Just after a pot of coffee was brewed in the tea room, Xia Zichen poured himself a cup, thought for a moment, then took out a disposable paper cup and poured a cup. After mixing the milk and sugar, he walked out of the tea room and walked towards the window.

    Maybe it's because there are more people in the company. Now Xia Zichen is easier to communicate with people than others, which is a good thing for him.

    Stop by the window. Seeing that there were more people around him, the man turned his head to look at him. Only then did Xia Zichen realize that this man should be a mixed race. He looked about the same age as Gu Yan, with deep facial features and perfect body proportions. His blue eyes were like gems, beautiful and sharp. , the hair is brown and feels very smooth.

    Xia Zichen admits that this man's appearance is very outstanding, but there is such a type of person, no matter how good he looks, the powerful aura he exudes will make people stay away from him, he feels that he can't mess with it, and he doesn't dare to mess with it, for example: Gu Yan , Gu Ao, Gu Xu, and the man in front of him...

    Although the sense of oppression is very strong, Xia Zichen has already brought out two cups of coffee, so it is not good to turn back now. And after being with Gu Xu for a long time, the immunity is still there.

    "Drink coffee? Just brought an extra cup." Xia Zichen asked.

    The man was startled for a moment, looked at Xia Zichen for a while, then reached out and took the cup, "Thank you."

    Xia Zichen is also relieved to see that he can understand Chinese. Although his English is not bad, he has not really applied it in life. Except for the courses, at most he is reading some English books or documents. confidence.

    Xia Zichen drank coffee slowly with his cup in his hand, and looked at the distant scenery through the window, and his spirit gradually relaxed. Freehand brushwork brought by openness.

    "Are you an employee of Shengchen?" The man looked at Xia Zichen next to him, "You look quite young."

    "I'm an intern." Xia Zichen replied, "Are you... going to work in Shengchen?" If this person really wants to work in Shengchen, it is estimated that he must be the management.

    The man hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I'm still thinking about it."

    The work is purely personal, and Xia Zichen is not going to say anything more. The man's face is reflected on the glass, and Xia Zichen can see his slightly frowning brows. When he is silent, his eyes are empty, as if he is thinking about something.

    Xia Zichen is not a person who likes to meddle in business affairs, but Xia Zichen can't say why to this man, and would like to ask one more question, perhaps because he is about the same age as Gu Yan and Xia Yuze.

    "Do you have something to worry about?" Xia Zichen, who asked this sentence, didn't expect an answer, but just asked politely.

    "It's a bit." The man smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Do you have a solution?"

    Xia Zichen was at a loss for words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It can't be said to be the solution. It's just that drinking some hot cocoa when you're upset will make you feel much better." He only told Gu Xu about this method.

    The man was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Did you think of the method yourself, or someone else taught you?"

    Xia Zichen twitched the corners of his mouth, "My father taught me, and it works very well."

    The man took Xia Zichen seriously, as if he wanted to see something in him.

    Xia Zichen was a little uncomfortable when he saw him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

    "What's your name?" the man asked seriously.

    Xia Zichen was silent for a moment, then replied, "Xia Zichen." He didn't know why the man suddenly asked his name.

    "Your surname is Xia?" The man's eyes flashed a glimpse of understanding, and then he asked, "Do you know Xia Yuze?"

    "Huh? You know my father?" This time, it was Xia Zichen's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that a hot cocoa topic would lead to the fact that this man knew his father.

    The man smiled, and this time his eyes were also stained with a smile, "I know. I didn't expect his son to be like this." The man put the finished coffee cup on the windowsill, patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder and said, "You have one good dad."

    "I know." Xia Zichen never denied this.

    The man's smile became stronger, and the sense of alienation on his body also dissipated a lot. He turned around and walked a few steps, stopped again, and turned back: "You are also very good, and your voice is very good."

    After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

    When it was time to get off work, Xia Zichen learned that the cooperation project that Shengchen had been fighting for had been signed. In the afternoon, someone from the other company visited Shengchen without asking for escort. He just said that he wanted to walk around freely and learn about Shengchen's working methods. At Luo Ji's request, the people from the public relations department returned to their own departments and let the other party feel comfortable.

    Originally the other party was still considering it, but for some reason, they suddenly decided. The president of the other party knocked on the door of the conference room directly, asked Gu Xu to take the document, signed it, and left with someone.

    On the way home from get off work, Xia Zichen asked about the man, and learned from Gu Xu that the other's surname was Qiao. Gu Xu also realized that it was because of Xia Zichen that the other party signed so happily. But Gu Xu didn't know exactly what the relationship between that man and Xia Yuze was, so he probably had to go home and ask his eldest brother. But no matter what, if he can sign it, Sheng Chen should have a very good time in the next few years.

    Reaching out and hugging Xia Zichen, Gu Xu kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile, "You are my lucky star."

    Xia Zichen snorted, "Stop talking about nice things."

    There are not many festivals in a year, but the Chinese New Year is always the most important. In previous years, Xia Zichen had spent time with Xia Yuze, but this year, the Gu family had to spend time in N city, and it was the first year that Gu Xu brought Xia Zichen home to see his parents. After discussing with Gu's father and Gu's mother, Gu Yan decided to invite both Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen this year, and the family had a lively life. It saves Gu Xu not seeing Xia Zichen and thinking about a bad new year. Moreover, Gu's father and Gu's mother have never met Xia Yuze, and this time they happened to meet together, so the matter for the two children was officially settled.

    It was Gu Yan who said Xia Yuze, and Xia Yuze didn't object. Anyway, the father and son have been living quietly for so many years, and there is nothing wrong with being lively.

    Gu Xu took a moment to ask Gu Yan about Mr. Qiao. Gu Yan only said that it was Xia Yuze's personal affairs, and it was inconvenient for him to say more. He and Qiao Chuqin have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is good, but they have never had the opportunity to cooperate. In addition, Qiao Chuqin is always abroad, so the two have not seen each other for a long time in the past two years.

    The reason why he went to investigate Xia Yuze before was also at the request of Qiao Chuqin. He didn't mention the matter of Shengchen to Qiao Chuqin, but the other party should know that the company belongs to Gu Xu. However, Qiao Chuqin has always been a person with a clear distinction between public and private, and will not let Gu Xu release water because of Gu Yan's relationship.

    This time Qiao Chuqin went to Shengchen to inspect, and he should have already intended to cooperate with Gu Xu. And Xia Zichen happened to be the help that made him finally make up his mind, so Qiao Chuqin signed the contract so easily.

    In other words, in addition to thanking Xia Zichen, Gu Xu also had to thank Xia Yuze. After all, Qiao Chuqin didn't even know about Xia Zichen's work in Shengchen, and it was just a coincidence that they met by chance, and they actually talked about Xia Yuze.

    Because this Mr. Qiao was involved in Xia Yuze's personal affairs, Gu Xu didn't ask much. Gu Yan also reminded him that it is best not to mention Qiao Chuqin in front of Xia Yuze for the time being, so he can only keep silent. Xia Zichen has been busy preparing for the Chinese New Year recently, but he forgot about Mr. Qiao for a while.

    On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Gu Xu drove Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen to the Gu family's house. Butler Fu warmly greeted them and led Xia Yuze into the house.

    Hearing that Xia Yuze was coming, Mother Gu quickly greeted her and said with a smile, "This is my in-law's house. Welcome, come in." Then she said to Xia Zichen, who was walking behind, "You can do whatever you want, I'll just take care of it today. Treat your father."

    Xia Zichen nodded with a smile, changed his shoes and entered the house.

    At this time, Father Gu and Gu Yan heard the movement and walked down from the study.

    "I asked Gu Yan to ask you out before, but the time has never been wrong." Father Gu walked over and shook hands with Xia Yuze, "You are welcome, Zi Chen is a very good child, we all like him. You did this too. My father taught me well."

    "You are overrated. It is also a blessing for Chen Chen to meet Gu Xu." For Xia Yuze, both Gu Zhengqing and Wang Yuehua can be regarded as his elders.

    "You're too polite." Father Gu is not a talkative person, but he is still willing to say a few more words when he is satisfied with himself, "Come in and sit, don't stand."

    "Okay." Xia Yuze followed Gu's father and Gu's mother to the large living room, and nodded to Gu Yan, who was walking behind, as a greeting. Gu Yan smiled, and instead of entering the living room, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

    Because Wang Yuehua greeted them out, Gu □ and Gu Ao waited in the living room, so as not to crowd in the hallway and make it difficult for the guests to enter the room, it would seem quite chaotic with so many people.

    "This is my second son, Gu Han, and my third son, Gu Ao." Wang Yuehua introduced.

    Although Xia Yuze was young, in terms of seniority, the two of them still called Gu Xu their uncle.

    "Xiao Yao is so good-looking, he looks like an uncle." Gu Ao smiled, "However, Xiao Yao is still a child, so uncle feels more attractive."

    The Gu family knew that Xia Zichen was not Xia Yuze's biological child, but no one cared about it. Moreover, Xia Zichen does not look like the Lei family, but more like Xia Yuze in temperament.

    "He's just a child. If there is something wrong with him, please include more." Xia Yuze said with a smile.

    "Compared to us, the little demon is more sensible. You don't have to worry." Gu Han smiled and asked Xia Yuze to feel at ease.

    "That's right, since the little demon entered our house, we've all fallen out of favor." Gu Ao leaned on the sofa and said a little lazily.

    Wang Yuehua sat next to Xia Yuze, pointed at Gu Ao, and said with a smile, "Stop talking."

    The family chatted casually, Gu Yan brought out two cups of Blue Mountain from the kitchen and put them in front of Xia Zichen and Xia Yuze, "Just boiled, try it."

    Xia Zichen thanked him and shared a cup with Gu Xu. Xia Yuze took a sip and nodded with a smile, "It tastes good."

    In the entire Gu family, Gu Yan is the one who can brew coffee the most, but he only brews it very rarely.

    With the addition of Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen this 30, the topic became more. In the evening, Wang Yuehua and Xia Yuze went to the kitchen to make dumplings with the servants. Although her cooking skills are terrible, she will do something for her family every year this year, even if she doesn't know how to make dough or mix fillings, only wraps, and the shape of the wraps is not very good. But it doesn't matter, what matters is her heart for her husband and sons.

    With the addition of Xia Yuze this year, Wang Yuehua became more interested, and learned from Xia Yuze how to make a good wrap. Although the results are not good, at least the progress is not small, and it will not be revealed.

    At eight o'clock in the evening, dinner was officially on the table. The servants set up another table in the building where the guests were entertained, so that the family could eat at will, and the servants could use it freely, and no one was cautious.

    At the dinner table, Gu Zhengqing held up the wine glass and said, "This year, Zi Chen entered our house, which is the most joyous thing. Although it has not been notarized yet, but inviting Yu Ze to dinner this year is equivalent to breaking the matter between Zi Chen and Gu Xu. It's officially decided. It will be a family from now on, don't be polite if you need anything." Turning his eyes to Xia Yuze, Gu Zhengqing continued: "Please rest assured, we will not treat Zi Chen badly, Gu Xu has something wrong to do, You don't have to be polite, and I will teach him a lesson."

    "Chen Chen and Gu Xu are together, I'm very relieved." Xia Yuze also said politely, holding a wine glass. This is what Xia Yuze said in his heart. From the day the two children were together, he hadn't bothered with them.

    "That's good. The Gu family's business has been doing well this year, and Gu Yan has also worked hard. Dad is very at ease with you. Gu Han is too busy this year, so you should pay more attention to your health. Gu Ao is in charge of your grandfather's affairs, everything. Be careful, safety first. Gu Xu has accomplished the most things this year, starting a company, and making a decision with Zi Chen, and he will continue to work hard next year." Gu Zhengqing looked at his sons, although he was a non-smiling father, he Really proud of his sons.

    "Got it, Dad."

    "Okay, I won't say much about the rest. I hope everything goes well next year and everyone is healthy and safe." Gu Zhengqing raised his glass.

    After a table of people clinking glasses with each other, they began to eat.

    At the dining table, Gu Yan took care of Xia Yuze, Gu Xu took care of Xia Zichen, Gu Ao helped Gu Han with dishes from time to time, Gu's mother and Gu's mother clinked glasses from time to time, and served each other's dishes. It was fun and lively.

    After dinner, the family gathers in the living room to watch TV, and there are various fruits, snacks and drinks on the coffee table. Xia Zichen and Xia Yuze sat next to each other, less deserted than in previous years, and more lively that was unique to the family.

    At eleven o'clock, Wang Yuehua called Xia Zichen upstairs alone and went to Gu's father and mother's bedroom.

    Wang Yuehua sat in front of the dressing table and let Xia Zichen sit on the chair next to him. Open the drawer on the side of the dresser and take out a dark red flannel box. It was opened to reveal a set of jade accessories - earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. The jade color is green throughout, and there is no impurities at all. Even if Xia Zichen, who does not understand jade, looks at it, he knows that it is very valuable.

    "This set of jewelry is a family heirloom from the Gu family. It was originally given to the next generation by the previous generation. When it comes to your generation, I will give it to you." Wang Yuehua smiled and put the box into Xia Zichen's hand.

    "I..." Xia Zichen held the box and subconsciously refused.

    Wang Yuehua interrupted Xia Zichen's words and continued: "Although Gu Yan took over the Gu family, Gu Xu still has to come back to help him sooner or later. And you are the first to enter our house, so I think it is better to give it to you. As for who you want to give to your next generation, it's up to you. You can't get this thing back, so you have to accept it. Even if you boys can't use it, it also represents the attitude of our family. ."

    Xia Zichen pursed his lips and nodded. This is always the recognition of Gu's family for him, he can't refuse this, "Thank you aunt."

    Wang Yuehua smiled, "It's time to change your tune after you accept it."

    The corner of Xia Zichen's mouth moved, and it took a long time to say a word, "...Mom..."

    "Good." Wang Yuehua reached out and touched Xia Zichen's hair with satisfaction, "We have heard about you and your father. You have done a good job, and you are a filial child. If Gu Xu and the others are worried about things in the future, you can Just continue to be our little boy."

    "Yeah." Thinking of the days between himself and his father a few years ago, Xia Zichen's throat felt a little sore.

    "The days to come will get better and better."

    "Well, I know..." Xia Zichen nodded.

    As he was talking, the bedroom door was knocked a few times, and then opened from the outside. Gu Zhengqing stood at the door and said, "Aren't you going to cook dumplings? It's almost time."

    "Here." Wang Yuehua stood up with a smile.

    Seeing the box in Xia Zichen's hand, Gu Zhengqing showed a slight smile and said, "Tomorrow morning, when you and Gu Xu greet me with New Year's greetings, I have to change my tune."

    Xia Zichen nodded embarrassedly and responded to Father Gu's words.

    "You go back to the house and put your things in, I'll go downstairs to cook dumplings." Wang Yuehua took Gu Zhengqing's hand and turned around.

    "it is good."

    A few steps out of the room, Father Gu stopped Xia Zichen again, "Tell Gu Xu, he will have to change his words tomorrow."

    Xia Zichen laughed, "Got it."

    Gu Zhengqing nodded and went downstairs with Wang Yuehua first.

    As soon as Xia Zichen walked to Gu Xu's bedroom with the box, he saw Gu Xu standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor.

    Seeing Xia Zichen coming, Gu Xu smiled and waved. Xia Zichen walked over, "Why did you come up?"

    "Wait for you. It's snowing." Gu Xu reached out and held Xia Zichen's hand, and noticed the box in his hand, "Mother gave it to you?"

    "Well." Gu Xu pulled him closer. The lights in the courtyard illuminated the falling snowflakes.

    "Then keep it." Gu Xu knew that his mother was not an arbitrary person. He must have discussed with the family when he gave this thing to Xia Zichen. Since the family agreed, he had nothing to object to." Did my mother tell you what this is for?"

    "It's said to be a family heirloom." Xia Zichen said.

    Gu Xu smiled. In the Gu family, the person who can get this box of jewelry means that he has half of the property inheritance rights of the Gu family except for the company shares. However, it seems that his mother did not tell Xia Zichen this, and Gu Xu was not going to say more, lest Xia Zichen be burdened.

    Holding Xia Zichen, Gu Xu whispered in his ear: "When you graduate, let's get married, shall we? Let's choose the ring together, pick the one you like."

    Xia Zichen smiled and hugged him back, "Okay."

    The voice of the TV downstairs was faintly heard, and the countdown to the new year began.

    At midnight, firecrackers and fireworks were set off in the yard, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, forming a romantic and gorgeous background.

    "Happy New Year." Gu Xu lowered his upper body slightly and whispered, "I love you."

    "Happy New Year, I love you too." Xia Zichen smiled and kissed Gu Xu.

    The fireworks outside the window reflect the silhouettes of the two kissing. The combination of love and warmth renders a kind of affectionate affection, which only belongs to the affectionate affection of billions of people...

    When Gu Yan went upstairs, he saw two people kissing on the balcony, smiled and continued to walk upstairs. He's going to get his coat, and he's going to go out with friends after eating dumplings.

    Gu Ao went upstairs to find Gu Xu and the others, and wanted to pull the two out to set off fireworks together. After seeing the two people who were kissing deeply, he paused, preparing to quietly walk over to make a light bulb. But before he could take a step, he was grabbed by Gu Han who came up later and dragged down.

    It wasn't until Xia Zichen was kissed that he could hardly breathe, Gu Xu let go of him, and the two continued to hug each other, with only each other in their eyes, whether fireworks or snow scenes became embellishments that were ignored by them...

    Compatibility is a kind of fate, it is more rare than tacit understanding.

    And the love that fits and bursts out is also more tempting, and it is difficult to extricate oneself...

    Absolute happiness, absolute fit, since you have met the person who absolutely fits, then as long as you are happy, that's fine...
