The next day, Sunday, in the evening, in the box of the Chinese restaurant.

There are only three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the round table that can accommodate more than ten people, which seems unnecessary for such a large box.

Song Qiming must have felt strange, while flipping through the menu, he asked Lin Yushu, "Aren't your sister-in-law and niece coming?"

"No." Lin Yushu said slowly while sipping tea, "My brother thought it was a social meeting at work."

Lin Yushu invited Lin Yize to dinner last night. He intended to introduce Song Qiming to his brother, and just have a casual meal.

As a result, when his brother heard that the newly appointed President Song of the Eternal Star Group was going to have dinner with him, he turned around and reserved this box.

"So he doesn't know about us yet." Song Qiming closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

"Probably." Lin Yushu said, "but he knows you are the new CEO."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yize walked in from the door. Unlike the two casually dressed, he was wearing a three-piece suit with a silk scarf around his neckline. Lin Yushu knew that only on special formal occasions would his brotherIt's this outfit.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lin Yize warmly stretched out his right hand and walked straight towards Song Qiming, "Mr. Song is good."

In fact, it's not yet the appointed time, it's just that Lin Yushu and Song Qiming came earlier, so Lin Yize would say those social clichés.

Really see the outside world.

Lin Yushu wanted Lin Yize to be less restrained, but Song Qiming stood up, held Lin Yize's right hand, and said, "Hello, big brother."

A trace of confusion flashed across Lin Yize's face, and he looked at Lin Yushu puzzledly: "Brother?"

He called Song Qiming "Mr. Song", but Song Qiming called him "Big Brother". No matter how awkward this conversation sounds.

"It's Mr. Lin." Lin Yushu turned his face to Lin Yize, but looked at Song Qiming, reminding him to change his name.

In fact, it's not wrong to call him big brother, it's just that Lin Yize set the tone for the meal as soon as he came, and Lin Yushu could only cooperate first.

"Mr. Lin." Song Qiming obediently changed his address, but Lin Yize's face became even more confused.

Thinking about it, Song Qiming's rank is higher than Lin Yushu's, and Lin Yushu should never teach him how to do things.

"Little Shu, get up." Lin Yize frowned, "Song is always your leader, why do you let him sit on the side?"

Well, now that Lin Yushu has confirmed it, his brother really doesn't know about him and Song Qiming.

Song Qiming moved to the middle and sat next to Lin Yize, while Lin Yushu sat on the other side of Song Qiming.

The ordered dishes quickly filled half of the tables, and Lin Yize kept introducing the signature dishes of this restaurant, as if he was afraid that Song Qiming would think that the choice of this place was not good.

On the contrary, Song Qiming became reserved, probably because he wasn't used to Lin Yize keeping his figure so low.

The atmosphere of this meal was really weird. After a few minutes, Lin Yushu finally couldn't help but said, "Brother, I'm not here to talk about work today, just treat him as my friend."

"Yes," Song Qiming nodded, "Lin Xiaoshu and I are friends."

As soon as this title came out, Lin Yize relaxed his straight back, and asked with some surprise: "When did you become friends?"

"That's a long story." Lin Yushu took a sip of tea, "Didn't I occasionally go to Lu Zibo's racing track to play with cars? He will go too."

"So that's how it is." Lin Yize let go, tore off the silk scarf around his collar, and the dishes became more unrestrained, "Didn't your dream come true?"

not good.

Lin Yushu quickly took the wine dispenser at the side, and filled Song Qiming's glass with white wine: "Don't leave the glass empty."

But Song Qiming ignored Lin Yushu, looked at Lin Yize and asked, "What dream?"

"he"

"Ahem!"

Lin Yushu quickly cleared his throat loudly, but he still couldn't stop Lin Yize: "He worshiped you very early on, you are his idol, don't you know?"

"Idol?" Song Qiming finally shifted his gaze to Lin Yushu, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't know, he never told me."

"He's got a lot of posters of your team in his bedroom and he's downloaded that, Insomem."

Lin Yushu couldn't help but touch his forehead.

"Instagram." Song Qiming answered with a smile, looked at Lin Yushu and asked, "Are you still following me secretly?"

"That's right." Lin Yize said, "Even the clothes follow you—"

"Brother!" Lin Yushu frowned and put down his chopsticks. He obviously said he didn't want to talk about work, but now he brought the topic to work again, "You know that Song Qiming is the new CEO of Eternal Star Motors. You don't even ask him about the future of Eternal Star.development plan?"

"Uh," Lin Yize was really confused by Lin Yushu, and called back the address just now, "Then Mr. Song is willing to share and share?"

"The current focus is still on s-power," Song Qiming put away his smile and replied, "an international track will also be built."

"I've heard about this." Lin Yize nodded, "It seems that you pushed Mr. Shao down just to compete for this project."

"Well, thanks to Little Shu." Song Qiming said and put a piece of pork ribs into Lin Yushu's bowl.

Lin Yize's expression became confused again, and Lin Yushu quickly asked, "Well, brother, have you heard anything else?"

"I did hear some rumors." Lin Yize put down his chopsticks, making Lin Yushu suddenly nervous, "Some people say you offended the old man of the Shao family, right?"

It turned out to be this.

Lin Yushu gnawed on the ribs and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Someone in the company is guessing." Lin Yize said, "But I haven't seen how you are."

"I was demoted." Lin Yushu said lightly, "The salary has been restored to the manager level, and I have become the acting CEO again."

"What's the point of that?" Lin Yize frowned, "Come home, it happens that the company plans to hire an external CEO this year, and no one will have any objections to this position for you."

CEO of Express Tram?

It seems to be very good.

Lin Yushu gnawed on the ribs and thought.

"Wait." Song Qiming, who was caught in the middle, suddenly said, "The demotion is only temporary, and I will restore him to the position of CEO of the family office as soon as possible."

"But his situation is a bit embarrassing, right?" Lin Yize's attitude towards Song Qiming has always been very polite, but now he suddenly became stronger, "The two chairman of your family used to fight secretly, but now they are divided into two factions on the surface.What if you put us Little Shu in the middle?"

"He is not caught in the middle," Song Qiming did not back down, "He is my man."

"Then he will definitely be targeted by the other side."

"I will protect him. In addition, he is also very capable. Why isn't he targeting the other side?"

here we go again.

Song Qiming seems to have never known the traditional Chinese virtues of respecting the old and loving the young. If he is unhappy, he will choke with the elders.

"He is my younger brother. Going to Eternal Star is just to exercise his ability. Isn't it a matter of course for him to go back to work in the company at home?" Although Lin Yize still maintained his unhurried speech, Lin Yushu knew that his brother was also a little uncomfortable.happy.

"He's still my treasure—"

"Where to work is my business." Lin Yushu hurriedly interrupted Song Qiming, and then said to Lin Yize, "Let me think about it again and give you an answer before the Chinese New Year."

"Okay." Lin Yize said, "You can think clearly, you don't need to look at other people's faces at home."

"You don't need to look at other people's faces when you're by my side." Song Qiming had to add, "Except for my grandfather."

"Then don't you still look at other people's faces?"

"He doesn't see my grandfather often."

The two were about to choke again, when Lin Yushu's cell phone vibrated suddenly, it was Du Yufei calling.

He stood up, patted Song Qiming on the shoulder, and faintly reminded him not to talk nonsense: "This is my brother."

After finishing speaking, he said again, "I'm going to answer the phone", and then left the box.

Lin Yushu was not surprised that Du Yufei would find him.

As a stakeholder, Du Yufei must know what happened on the board of directors. If he didn't find him, Lin Yushu would be surprised.

"Senior." Lin Yushu answered the phone.

"It's a pity, junior, I can't cooperate anymore." Du Yufei said in a relaxed tone.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Lin Yushu said.

"Congratulations to Mr. Song first."

Congratulations to Song Qiming, you can contact me directly. Lin Yushu knows that the purpose of this call is not just a simple chat, but he still cooperates on the surface: "I will help you convey it."

"Okay, if we have a chance, we can make an appointment for dinner." Du Yufei said this, paused, and then said, "Then..."

"Then?" Lin Yushu asked.

"I heard some rumors, of course, there is no evidence, it must be random rumors..."

Lin Yushu knew that Du Yufei would definitely come to inquire, after all, he was one of the very few people who knew Lin Yushu's sexuality.

However, he reminded Lin Yushu that even though this incident had already spread in the circle, no one had any evidence and could only treat it as rumors.

Probably because of this, no one dared to speak nonsense in front of Lin Yize.

"You and Song Qiming," Du Yufei continued, "are you together?"

Lin Yushu subconsciously wanted to say "no", but somehow he thought of the masks in the amusement park.

——Do you want to continue wearing it?

If you admit it now, there is a high probability that it will reach Lin Yize's ears.

After all, his friendship with Du Yufei was average, and he didn't expect Du Yufei to help him keep the secret.

On the other hand, even if Du Yufei is a strict-mouthed person, he would definitely think that since Lin Yushu is willing to admit it to him, it means that this is not an important secret.

These thoughts only stayed in Lin Yushu's mind for a short time.

"Yes." He heard himself say.

"So that's how it is." Du Yufei let out a breath, regained his relaxed tone, and said with a smile, "I regret what you did."

"Regret?" Lin Yushu was puzzled.

"When I was studying," Du Yufei reminded, "Didn't you confess your love to me? I regret not accepting it."

Lin Yushu was a little embarrassed: "That's all in the past."

"Yeah, I was too young and ignorant at that time." Du Yufei said, "Whether you accept it or not, I shouldn't have said those words to you."

Is this a belated apology?

To be honest, Lin Yushu didn't feel much, but the embarrassment did ease a lot.

"Who doesn't have a young age?" he said.

He was the same back then, overconfident, just a brat.

If he had been with Song Qiming back then, I'm afraid he would have led Song Qiming to his brother.

But having said that, it is precisely through those things that he has his current personality. If he is allowed to return to his school days, Song Qiming might not like him.

"It's good that you don't mind." Du Yufei said, "Bless you all, if there is a chance in the future, I still hope that we can cooperate more."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yushu returned to the box.

The liquor in the wine dispenser had bottomed out, and he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Are you drinking so hard?"

"Little Shu." Lin Yize's eyes were already a little confused, "You should consider the work yourself. No matter what you choose, I respect you."

Lin Yushu took a sip of tea, looked at Song Qiming who was also a little dizzy, and asked, "Why did he change his mind?"

"Because he is a good big brother." Song Qiming said with a serious face.

"Come on, Xiao Song, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

"must!"

Seeing the two brothers being so good, Lin Yushu didn't bother to get involved. He simply gnawed on the ribs and thought about how long it would take for his brother to hear about him and Song Qiming.

Du Yufei probably wouldn't deliberately spread this matter, maybe he would mention it inadvertently during the party.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are so many gatherings, most people in the circle will know this fact within a few days.

But it's not a big deal, it's just that it's better to last a few more days until the Chinese New Year.

At least on festive days, his brother's face should not be too ugly...

Lin Yushu didn't drink, and he drove the car on the way back.

Song Qiming was already drunk and unconscious, but when Lin Yushu drove the car out of the parking lot, he woke up within minutes.

"Your brother can really drink." He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, with a drunken blush on his cheeks.

"Are you pretending to be drunk?" Lin Yushu raised his eyebrows, not so surprised.

He and Song Qiming usually drink a lot, and they both know each other has a good drinking capacity.He thought his brother was so powerful that he could get Song Qiming drunk, but it turned out to be an illusion.

"It's okay not to pretend." Song Qiming said, "Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll be drinking."

"My brother should be happy." Lin Yushu looked at the front of the road and said, "It doesn't look like he's pretending."

"That's good." Song Qiming put the empty water bottle into the cup holder, adjusted his sitting posture, "I'll squint for a while, baby, call me when you get home."

"good."

The bustling road has started to be jammed again, which is really suitable for taking a nap.

Lin Yushu turned off the air circulation inside and outside the car to prevent all the exhaust gas from entering the car.He also minimized the frequency of stepping on the brakes, and it didn't take long for Song Qiming's breathing to calm down, and he should have fallen asleep.

Lin Yushu thought boredly that for Song Qiming's performance today, he felt that he could give a 90% score.

Except for the part about choking with his brother at the beginning, everything else is fine, it should be easier to come out like this...

About half an hour later, Lin Yushu drove the car near the community.

He didn't call Song Qiming yet, but he didn't know if he had rested, Song Qiming woke up by himself: "Is it time?"

"En." Lin Yushu responded, thinking of the dispute between the two just now, and asked, "My brother wants me to go home and work, what do you think?"

"He said he respected your choice." Song Qiming rubbed the back of his neck lazily.

"That's all nice to say, he just wants me to go home."

"No," Song Qiming stopped, looked at Lin Yushu and said, "He really respects you."

Lin Yushu was a little strange: "Are you that sure?"

"Well, he wants you to go back, and I don't want you to go back, so I proposed a solution to him."

"What?" Lin Yushu asked.

"I said," Song Qiming paused, "if you marry me, the two families will become one family, and this problem will be solved."

Lin Yushu's brain turned a corner before he realized that he slammed on the brakes: "Song Qiming!!!"
