Chapter 54
In the new week, Lin Yushu went to work in the Eternal Star Building as usual.
After getting out of the elevator, the girls at the front desk greeted him as usual, but the difference was that their eyes seemed to be a little bit gossip.
Maybe it's an illusion, maybe it's not.
Neither is very important.
Instead of spending his mind on this, Lin Yushu had more important things to do.
After entering the office and closing the office door, Lin Yushu called Lin Yize.
Song Qiming was scared to death last night, and wanted to call his brother right away, but thinking that Lin Yize was quite drunk, he dragged the matter until today.
The phone rang only twice, and Lin Yize's voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Little Shu?"
"Brother, are you feeling well today?"
"It's okay, your sister-in-law made me hangover soup."
"That's good." Lin Yushu became hesitant, "By the way, how was your chat with Song Qiming yesterday?"
"It's pretty good." Lin Yize said, "He's a very thoughtful young man."
"The proposal he gave you," Lin Yushu paused, "do you think it's okay?"
"What's the problem?" Lin Yize said with a relaxed tone, "I told you a long time ago that I support your marriage. Now the marriage partner is the Eternal Star Group, isn't it perfect?"
His brother is so open-minded?
Lin Yushu faintly felt strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
But Song Qiming is doing quite well, with a couple of tricks.
Lin Yushu was about to ask his brother how he could accept such a thing, but Lin Yize said again: "So your marriage partner is Shao Hexu's eldest daughter?"
Lin Yushu: "?"
"Your sister-in-law and I both think it's good. You are about the same age and have a suitable status."
Lin Yushu: "..."
"But if it's a marriage, I think you have to think again." Lin Yize said to himself, "Of course, your sister-in-law and I respect your choice."
Sure enough, it's a chicken talking to a duck, not on the same channel.
While Lin Yushu felt relieved, he also felt the pressure return to him.
If it's just muddle-headed, asking Song Qiming to help him come out in front of his brother seems to be pretty good.
"Really?" he asked, "do you really respect my choice?"
"Yes, you are already such an adult."
"Then what if I—"
When the words came to his lips, Lin Yushu swallowed them back.Coming out by phone doesn't seem like a good choice.
"What if?" Lin Yize asked.
"It's okay." Lin Yushu said, "He just casually talked about the marriage, don't take it seriously."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yushu dealt with the work emails accumulated over the weekend.
Shao Zhenbang's autobiography has entered the production stage, and it will be released in about two months.Earlier, Shao Zhenbang explained that if his body allowed, he would like to hold a new book release conference, and Lin Yushu had to arrange it.
The notice of personnel appointment and dismissal of the CEO of Eternal Star Automobile has also come down. Shao Guangjie has been dismissed from his post, but it is still uncertain where he will be arranged.
When chores are dealt with, time always passes quickly.When Lin Yushu finished replying the last email, the internal phone rang suddenly, it was the call from the front desk.
"Mr. Lin, can you go to Mr. Shao's office? There is something that needs your mediation." The front desk said.
Lin Yushu couldn't help wondering: "Mediation?"
"About the work handover..."
The front desk only said a key word, and Lin Yushu understood what was going on.
When he came to Shao Guangjie's office, he saw Song Qiming, Shao Guangjie's assistant, and Director Li of the Administration Department.
"Mr. Lin, it's like this," Director Li explained, "After Mr. Shao was dismissed from his position..."
"I know." Lin Yushu continued, "The office should be given to Mr. Song."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Shao Guangjie's assistant choked, "Boss Shao hasn't decided where to go yet, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so he has to change his office at this time."
Lin Yushu asked, "Where is Mr. Shao?"
"Didn't come to work." Song Qiming leaned lazily by the door, obviously he was the center of the dispute, but he acted like he had nothing to do with himself.
"It's not a matter of urgency or not," Director Li said in embarrassment. "This is a normal procedure. The personnel notice has been sent out. Please cooperate."
"It's not that I don't cooperate, it's that you're embarrassing me." The assistant said, "Mr. Shao can't be contacted now. If he comes back and sees that the office has changed, how do you ask me to explain?"
"Then this matter can't be postponed, can it?"
"It can be done, you can ask Mr. Shao what he means first."
The two gradually started to quarrel. Lin Yushu looked at Song Qiming, but Song Qiming shrugged his shoulders with an expression of "I can't help it".
In fact, Song Qiming has a solution, he just needs to save face and not compete for this office.
But he didn't make a statement, and the people in the administration department could only follow the rules.
One side is the boss's assistant, and the other side is the boss himself, any fool knows which side is easy to offend.
"Okay." Lin Yushu interrupted the two of them, but he didn't act as a peacemaker, "This office is for Mr. Song, so that's the deal."
"Mr. Lin, this is not good." The assistant frowned, "How should I explain to Mr. Shao?"
"If there is any problem, you let him find me."
Now that Lin Yushu had spoken, the assistant naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only start packing Shao Guangjie's things.
However, the way he looked at Lin Yushu and Song Qiming was somewhat weird, this time Lin Yushu was definitely not an illusion.
"Aren't you afraid of their gossip?"
Outside the office, by the window where no one was approaching, Song Qiming glanced at the assistant in the office and asked Lin Yushu.
"Sooner or later." Lin Yushu felt a little broken, "I should have started talking."
"It's okay." Song Qiming raised his hand and pinched Lin Yushu's cheek without hesitation, "When we hold the wedding, they won't have anything to say."
Lin Yushu tilted his head to the side, avoiding Song Qiming's paw: "Wedding?"
Does this German guy want to progress so fast?
"Didn't your brothers agree to the marriage?" Song Qiming said, "Although we haven't been together for a long time, it is already very sufficient for the marriage."
Mentioning this matter, Lin Yushu was a little speechless.
"He thought he was marrying Shao Zhenrui."
"What?" Song Qiming looked puzzled, "I said it was with me."
"How much did he drink at that time?" Lin Yushu asked.
"Okay." Song Qiming stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I'll go find him later."
"Don't!" Lin Yushu hurriedly stopped Song Qiming, "I will tell him on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, don't make trouble for me."
"Okay, is the ticket still booked?"
Song Qiming booked a flight ticket to Germany on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The two will celebrate the New Year at their respective homes, and they will leave for Germany the next day.
Although there were a lot of handovers during this period, but Shao Guangjie didn't cooperate, Song Qiming naturally postponed the matter until the next year.
As for Lin Yushu, he didn't have much interest in work at first, and all the things that were not in a hurry were postponed.
So during this trip to Germany, whether the two of them can have a good time depends entirely on whether Lin Yushu's cabinet door opens smoothly on the night of New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Yushu came to Lin Yize's house early.
They have a small family, just Lin Yize's family and Lin Yushu, a "bachelor", have not had the habit of going out for reunion dinners all these years.
Sister-in-law He Yanjun cooked a table of big dishes, and the Buddha Jumping Wall was cooked for most of the day, and she didn't eat it until the evening meal.
"Brother, I really envy you." Lin Yushu bit the abalone in his mouth and said, "It's a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life to be able to marry a sister-in-law."
"Don't say that," He Yanjun patted Lin Yushu on the shoulder, "Your brother is also good at cooking."
Lin Yushu was brought up by his brother, so he naturally knew that Lin Yize was a good crafter.
And his skill praised by Song Qiming was also learned from Lin Yize.
"How is your fiancée?" Lin Xixi bit her chopsticks, looked at Lin Yushu and asked, "I heard it's the Eldest Young Lady from Shao's second family?"
It's "Shao Lao Er" again, and "Eldest Young Lady" again. It seems that I have read too many gossip tabloids.
Lin Yushu took another piece of sea cucumber and put it in his mouth: "It's none of your business."
"Then you get married," Lin Xixi obviously didn't feel that easy to deal with, and asked again, "Does Mr. Song of the third family agree?"
The sea cucumber just took a bite, and Lin Yushu almost choked. He put down his chopsticks, pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, and asked strangely, "What's the matter with him?"
Of course, this is really about Song Qiming's business, but Lin Yushu doesn't know why Lin Xixi thinks so.
On the TV, the singing of the Spring Festival Gala almost overwhelmed the chatter at the dinner table.
"Is there a new host this year?" Lin Yize asked.
"There was him last year, you must not have noticed."
Both of them were focused on the TV screen.
"Although I don't quite believe it," Lin Xixi leaned closer to Lin Yushu, and lowered her voice knowingly, "But I saw gossip saying that you are his new boyfriend."
Lin Yushu: "..."
Don't high school girls study?
"Where's the gossip?" He asked pretending to be calm.
"Someone on Little Red Book took a picture of Song Qiming dating his boyfriend." Lin Xixi took out her phone and quickly found the post, "Some people say that the person wearing a baseball cap is a little idol, I think it's moreReliable."
In just a few days, that post has had thousands of comments.
Among them, the most popular reply claimed to be an insider, saying that the handsome guy in the baseball cap was an entertainer of an entertainment company.
Grandma's.
Lin Yushu felt like swearing.
He even appeared as a real boyfriend, why didn't these gossips give him a name?!
People are a collection of contradictions. While Lin Yushu was afraid that he and Song Qiming would be exposed by the media in advance without preparation, and on the other hand, someone really broke the news, and he thought it was fake news.
"Isn't there a comment below that says it's the CEO of Shaw's family business?" ——This person is probably an internal employee of Eternal Star.
Lin Yushu picked up the orange juice and asked with airs, "Why do you think it's not me?"
"It's not you at first glance." Lin Xixi also picked up the orange juice, took a sip, and flipped through the pictures taken secretly from a distance, "How can you be wearing jeans?"
"That's a disguise." Lin Yushu said calmly.
Lin Xixi: "?"
Realizing the meaning of Lin Yushu's words, Lin Xixi opened her jaw in shock, and all the orange juice in her mouth flowed back into the glass.
"Xixi, what are you doing!" He Yanjun hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it over, "Is it dirty?"
"Ahem, I'm so sore." Lin Xixi wiped her chin, and when He Yanjun turned her head to watch TV again, suppressing her shock, she leaned over to Lin Yushu and said, "Why are you such a Little Shu?!"
Little Shu, the pronunciation is the same as uncle, sometimes Lin Xixi calls it seriously, and sometimes it is teasing Lin Yushu, Lin Yushu can't tell which one is in this sentence.
"Did it scare you?" Lin Yushu said in a low voice with his head buried in the maw.
"Great Aunt scared me to death." Lin Xixi said here, as if she was afraid that Lin Yushu would say that she had never seen the world, and then changed her words, "I'm not surprised that you like men, but I didn't expect you to catch Song Qiming."
Lin Yushu looked across the table a little nervously. Fortunately, the lively song and dance performance was still going on, and Lin Yize and He Yanjun were both watching TV.
"He was chasing me." Lin Yushu whispered.
"I rely on it!"
Now Lin Xixi didn't pay attention to the volume, He Yanjun frowned: "What are you doing?"
"This year's song and dance is interesting." Lin Xixi took a big gulp of orange juice.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the song and dance performance ended, and the following program became a sketch.
The skit was not as noisy as singing and dancing, and Lin Xixi couldn't talk anymore, so she could only shake her legs anxiously, looking suffocated.
Not long after, Lin Yushu's phone vibrated, and it was a message from Lin Xixi.
"Lin Xixi: Groundhog Screams.jpg"
"Lin Xixi: Why are you able to be with your male god!!"
Lin Yushu sent a message slowly with his left hand.
"Lin Yushu: No"
"Lin Yushu: Don't you even wonder why I like men?"
Lin Xixi didn't eat anymore, and quickly jumped on the screen with two thumbs.
"Lin Xixi: I have thought about it, but I'm not sure"
"Lin Xixi: Who told you not to talk about your girlfriend all the time"
"Lin Xixi: But I did flirt with you and my classmate her brother"
"Lin Yushu:?"
"Lin Xixi: Song Qiming is good, you are really good"
"Lin Xixi: You are my idol now"
"Lin Xixi: I want to sleep with my male god too"
Three black lines appeared on Lin Yushu's forehead.
"Lin Yushu: You put your mind on my studies"
After several skits and cross talk programs were over, the TV finally ushered in lively singing and dancing again.
Lin Xixi put down her phone, nudged Lin Yushu with her elbow, and asked softly, "No, aren't you going to marry Shao Zhenrui?"
"No, your dad got it wrong." Lin Yushu said, "Song Qiming was talking about being with him."
"He's so brave?!" Lin Xixi frowned, looking more worried than Lin Yushu, "But if my dad heard me right, he probably wouldn't agree, right?"
"I don't know." Lin Yushu said, "I'll ask later."
"What are you?" Lin Xixi's eyes widened suddenly, apparently understanding Lin Yushu's intentions.
She gave Lin Yushu a thumbs up in admiration, and whispered, "Don't worry! I will do my best to help you, even if I sever the father-daughter relationship with my father!"
Lin Yushu: "..."
"What have you two been mumbling about since just now?"
Lin Yize finally looked over, and wondered if he was about to "lose" his daughter, and he was guided in the dark.
"Dad, my uncle has something to tell you." Lin Xixi said with a serious face.
Although she helped Lin Yushu out, it has to be said that with her support, Lin Yushu's burden was indeed reduced a lot.
"Brother," Lin Yushu pursed his lips, and said slowly, "about the marriage..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Yize asked, "Didn't you tell me not to take it seriously?"
"You don't need to take it seriously." Lin Yushu said, "It's just that if you want to marry, this person..."
"Isn't it Shao Zhenrui?" He Yanjun answered, "She's pretty good."
"She's pretty good." Lin Yushu took a deep breath and said courageously, "But my partner is—"
The sudden vibration of the mobile phone interrupted the second half of Lin Yushu's sentence. Lin Xixi looked dissatisfiedly at the culprit who interrupted the conversation with the appearance of "a wonderful place has been advertised".
But when she saw the words "Song Qiming" on the caller ID, her expression softened instantly.
"Let him answer the phone first." Somehow, she also took the initiative.
Lin Yushu would answer the phone first, because under normal circumstances, Song Qiming would not call him suddenly.
Looking at the time, Song Qiming should be staying with his family right now.
Could it be that he also mentioned the marriage with Lin Yushu over there, which turned the Shao family's good New Year's Eve upside down?
But Lin Yushu felt that something was wrong. After all, Song Qiming was not very close to those relatives, and there was no need to mention his own affairs during the New Year's Eve dinner.
Taking a step back, even if it was mentioned, it would be good to send a message about this kind of thing, and it would not be necessary to call him specifically to notify him.
After these thoughts flashed through her mind, Lin Yushu suddenly realized that this call seemed very important.
And it turns out that's true.
"Come to the hospital quickly." Song Qiming's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Grandpa is dying."
