As soon as Lin Yushu returned to the home office, a dozen or so colleagues put down their work at the same time and surrounded him excitedly.

"I heard that Mr. Shao was dismissed, is it true?"

"Then where will President Shao be assigned next?"

"Isn't Eternal Star about to change?"

"The old man hasn't left yet, hasn't he said anything?"

If it was back when Zhou Xian was still around, colleagues wouldn't dare to gossip like this.

Lin Yushu didn't have much to say, he didn't stay in the public office area, he just said "Let's wait for the announcement", and then returned to the office.

The colleagues returned to their workstations without interest, and only Zhan Ting followed, closing the office door, with a look of hesitation: "There is someone in the secretary's office who is sending..."

Lin Yushu's heart tightened: "What?"

"You and President Song..."

Sure enough, it spread.

Lin Yushu had imagined countless situations that might arise in the board of directors, but he didn't expect Shao Guangjie to be outspoken on such occasions.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said lightly: "Nothing."

"That's good." Zhan Ting nodded, "I'll tell them not to talk nonsense."

In the entire executive office floor, most of the colleagues are older than Lin Yushu, including Zhan Ting.

Many of them are already married and have children, living a traditional family life. Lin Yushu is not sure whether they can accept heterogeneity...

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone interrupted Lin Yushu's thoughts.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Song Qiming who had just parted with him.

Song Qiming likes to send WeChat messages, and if it's not urgent, he usually won't call.

After pressing the answer button, a familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone, not as casual as usual, but with a bit of seriousness.

"Grandpa let us go there."

Well, it's time to come.

When he left yesterday, Shao Zhenbang was still weakly lying on the hospital bed, looking like he was exhausted.

But today, when Lin Yushu and Song Qiming came to Meditation Villa, he was sitting in a wheelchair, waiting in the living room, with a stern expression that did not look like a terminally ill old man.

There were some water stains on the coffee table in the living room, and it looked like the saucer was left behind. Obviously, other people had come to Shao Zhenbang before Lin Yushu and Song Qiming came.

"Grandpa."

"Master."

After the two greeted each other, they sat down on the left and right sides of Shao Zhenbang.

Originally, Lin Yushu thought about not sitting next to Song Qiming, so that he would be farther away from Shao Zhenbang, and maybe he would be able to suffer less firepower.

But thinking about it, still think it's unnecessary, after all, the two of them did this, Shao Zhenbang couldn't give him a good face.

"Whose idea was it to let Chen Ping avoid it?" Shao Zhenbang looked at the two of them and asked in a cold voice.

"Me." The two said in unison.

"It's me." Song Qiming said again, "I checked some cases and found that this can be done."

"So you let Lin Yushu fool me, didn't you?" Shao Zhenbang suddenly raised his voice, but it seemed that he was involved in the pain, and he coughed depressively again.

"I just want to be fair." Song Qiming wanted to step forward to pat Shao Zhenbang on the back, but he scolded him back.

"Fair?" Shao Zhenbang's tone became even more angry, "Guangjie has been working in Eternal Star since graduation, and has been to all grassroots positions. What about you? How long have you been back? Are you fair?"

Sure enough, everything can have multiple interpretations.

Lin Yushu always felt that fairness should be for those who are capable, but he forgot that seniority and seniority often account for a greater proportion in the sophistication of the world.

"But he didn't make the company develop better, did he?" Song Qiming frowned and said unceremoniously, "Don't forget that I brought the company's stock price back to its previous level."

Lin Yushu was startled, the German guy really didn't know what to say.

Although he really didn't want to interrupt at such a time, but in order to ease the atmosphere between his grandfather and grandson, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Old man, from the perspective of company development—"

"Shut up!" Shao Zhenbang looked over and scolded, "It's not your turn yet."

Well, interrupting failed, Lin Yushu kept quiet.

"I didn't let you intervene in the company's management, but everything must be done step by step." After being interrupted by Lin Yushu, Shao Zhenbang's anger towards Song Qiming disappeared a lot, "Guangjie is your cousin, and he has been working in the company for so long."For many years, what did you say to push him away?"

"But the company's stock price limit."

"you!"

Song Qiming didn't bother to defend himself, and Shao Zhenbang couldn't speak for a word.

Shao Zhenbang also had nothing to do with Song Qiming, he let out a sigh of relief, and said after a while, "Family and everything prosper, do you know how many companies are dying because of family fighting?"

"I know." Song Qiming said, "So Shao Guangjie can't beat me, so he should step aside."

Lin Yushu's heart skipped a beat again, he suddenly realized that Song Qiming was really good at irritating people.

However, it is estimated that Shao Zhenbang is his grandfather, and the fact that he will be promoted to CEO is a foregone conclusion, so he knows that being called here will be scolded at most.

"You are still young, and you will suffer if you are too crazy." Shao Zhenbang said earnestly, "Guangjie has been trained at the grassroots level. He is better at handling things than you and is more suitable for managing enterprises. Originally, the two of you could be good partners, but youLook what you've done."

"Grandpa, your era has passed. It's not that you can manage a company well if you know how to handle things." Song Qiming restrained his annoying attitude and said, "I know what you think. You want Shao Guangjie to be the face of the company, even if he is capable.No, just hire some capable people to be his military advisers."

Speaking of this, Song Qiming glanced at Lin Yushu intentionally or unintentionally, and Lin Yushu also knew that he was the reserve "Military Adviser", and in Shao Zhenbang's original plan, Song Qiming should also be.

"Don't think that ability is the only thing." Shao Zhenbang said, "Most people in this society are ordinary people, your uncle and uncle, and even the directors in the company, do you really think they are all capable people? No. But this position is his, this is the rule of this society."

"So you mean you want me to return the position to Shao Guangjie?" Song Qiming asked.

"How can I ask you to return it?" Shao Zhenbang sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "The matter is already like this, I will arrange another position for Guangjie."

With Shao Zhenbang's words, Lin Yushu's hanging heart also fell.

"But you boy, I warn you," Shao Zhenbang said again, "Tai Piao will have accidents, put away your arrogance for me."

"I'm not like this in front of other people." Song Qiming softened his tone, "I don't think you are biased, am I not happy?"

After all, it was my own grandfather, if it was Lin Yushu, how dare he talk to Shao Zhenbang like that?

And Shao Zhenbang obviously liked this too, he didn't teach Song Qiming a lesson, but looked at Lin Yushu and said, "When did you get up and stand by Qiming's side?"

"he"

Before Lin Yushu could speak, Song Qiming took over the conversation first.

But before he finished speaking, Shao Zhenbang interrupted him: "I'm asking him."

"After the personnel notification comes." Lin Yushu said the words he had thought up in advance, "I think from the company's stock price, I think Mr. Song is more suitable to be the 'front'."

"Is the company's stock price?" Shao Zhenbang sneered, then suddenly looked at Song Qiming and asked, "Which of you two is chasing whom?"

Lin Yushu was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain that he and Song Qiming didn't have that kind of relationship, but Song Qiming said, "I'm chasing him."

"Seeing how you defend him everywhere, I know that your relationship is not simple." Shao Zhenbang said, "So what Guangjie said is true."

Damn Shao Guangjie.

Lin Yushu was not ready to come out in front of Shao Zhenbang, and his momentary astonishment turned into deep anxiety.

"I don't care about your affairs. Anyway, it's no secret that you like men." Shao Zhenbang said this to Song Qiming, and suddenly changed the subject, "But Lin Yushu——"

When his name was called, Lin Yushu suppressed his anxiety and sat up straight.

"Don't be the CEO of the family office first, and the salary will be restored to the manager level. You will still do your current job as usual, and I will not issue personnel notices."

...Demotion?

If the matter of the board of directors is not good, if you get angry with your grandson, you can only use outsiders.

It's not that Lin Yushu didn't expect the worst situation, but it just happened unexpectedly.

"Wait," Song Qiming frowned suddenly, his reaction was stronger than Lin Yushu's, "What do you mean by calling me for trouble?"

"He should have this awareness when he makes a choice."

"You are simply unreasonable. Does running a company depend on your mood?"

"okay!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one from Shao Zhenbang and the other from Lin Yushu.

"That's it." Lin Yushu lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly.

Shao Zhenbang glanced at Lin Yushu indifferently, and called the nursing aunt: "That's it, I'm tired."

On the way back, Lin Yushu remained silent. No matter how Song Qiming talked to him, he kept looking out the window.

He was no longer in the mood for work in the afternoon, so he simply ended this Friday early and went home for the weekend after get off work.

Recently, Lin Yushu has been getting tired of being with Song Qiming every day, and Lin Yushu hardly has his own private space.It was rare to be alone at home now, so he lit a stick of incense and began to meditate after a long absence. Unexpectedly, all the previous obsessions about wanting to be promoted disappeared, and his heart really calmed down.

"baby?"

Unknowingly, when it was time to get off work, Song Qiming also returned home.

Right now, he should have many things waiting for him to deal with, and Lin Yushu didn't expect that he would come back so early.

"I cook." Lin Yushu stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Are you okay?" Song Qiming followed, "Why are you ignoring me?"

There are about a dozen unread messages on WeChat, and Lin Yushu knows that most of them are from Song Qiming.

Compared to before, he has calmed down a lot, and said, "Sorry, I was not in a good mood just now."

After speaking, he went to the refrigerator to take out the ingredients, but he still didn't look at Song Qiming.

"Why do I feel that you are not very good now?" Song Qiming followed Lin Yushu, wherever Lin Yushu went, he went there, "I will find a way about your position, grandpa is just angry——"

"It's about the position," Lin Yushu put down the ingredients in his hand, propped his hands on the kitchen counter, and interrupted Song Qiming, "I don't care."

In fact, the Civic is not the car that Lin Yushu has always driven.

His first car was a Mazda, a common car in JDM circles, but back then he only drove a Mazda because he couldn't afford a better car.

Later, he received his first year-end bonus and bought the Ferrari he had always wanted. However, after he really owned it, he didn't care about the car logo. After driving for a long time, he changed back to a cheap Civic.

The same is true for Lin Yushu as the CEO of the family office.

When you don't have it, it's like an obsession, thinking about getting promoted in everything you do.

But after he was actually promoted, he could easily put it down, because his mentality had changed, and this position was no longer so important to him.

"Really?" Song Qiming asked uncertainly, "Honey, I hope you tell me the truth."

"It's the truth." Lin Yushu kept his head down, tilted his chin slightly, and looked at Song Qiming beside him, "Kicking Shao Guangjie away for you will definitely offend your grandfather, just like he said, I'm already prepared for this."

"You don't have to be afraid of him, you have to trust me, I don't want you to be unhappy because of this kind of thing."

"So I said I don't care about the position."

"Then why are you unhappy?" Song Qiming turned Lin Yushu over and let him lean back on the kitchen countertop, "I really can't think of it, tell me, wife."

Song Qiming is acting like a baby, he is pitiful.

Lin Yushu looked away for a moment, and said slowly: "Now everyone knows about us."

"You care about this?" Song Qiming raised his brows in surprise.

"Yes, my brother will definitely know about it soon." Lin Yushu frowned, "I don't like this."

"Why?" Song Qiming took a small step back, so he could see Lin Yushu's expression more clearly, "Does it embarrass you to be with me?"

"You know not." Lin Yushu frowned even deeper.

"Then why do you care?" Song Qiming also frowned, "I can understand if it's a bad influence in the company. But why don't you want your brother to know?"

"It's not to keep him from knowing, it's because I'm not ready yet." Lin Yushu said, "I only have my brother as a family member. What if he doesn't accept it?"

"Did he accept it after you kept it a secret?"

"But now I can't hide it."

The tone of the two of them was not very good, and Song Qiming was obviously a little angry.

However, after a moment of stalemate, Lin Yushu softened his tone first: "The domestic environment is not like that of foreign countries, and I am really scared."

Perhaps feeling Lin Yushu's weakness, Song Qiming let out a sigh of relief, and said, "The country is not as scary as you think. You see, I have come out of the closet a long time ago. Isn't it fine?"

Lin Yushu pursed his lips, but did not answer.

"Why don't you do this." Song Qiming rubbed the back of his neck, "Anyway, you're also demoted, so stop working and free up your weekends."

"What?" Lin Yushu asked.

"Follow me on a date in public."
