MTL - After I Was Reborn, I Devoted Myself To My Career-Chapter 106

at the same time

Zhou Zhai Nei

It was already eleven o'clock, and the lights were still on in the living room. There were a few plates of snacks casually placed on the coffee table, and the graceful woman was sitting on the sofa, with a look of tranquility.

The woman seemed to be in a daze, but also seemed to be suppressing her anger. She remembered the phone call she had just received, hatred flashed in her eyes, and the delicate silk handkerchief in her hand was also twisted into a ball, which did not seem to be indifferent at all.

Zhou Shen!

How dare that old guy! How can he!

Lift up that little **** openly!

The woman stroked her chest with her hand, and finally suppressed her anger. At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs behind her.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep?" Zhou Minghao originally went downstairs to get drinks from the kitchen, but found that the living room was brightly lit and his mother was not asleep, so he couldn't help but wondered.

Zhou's mother pursed her lips, and said perfunctorily, "Mom is not too sleepy." After she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, patted the sofa, and signaled her son to sit over: "Xiaohao, Mommy asked you something. "

Zhou Minghao responded, took a bottle of drink casually, sat down in front of his mother, looked at her expression, and was a little worried: "What's wrong?"

You know, as long as he can remember, his mother has never gone to bed later than half past nine. According to his mother, even big things can't disturb her "beauty sleep".

Zhou's mother stared at her son, and her anger subsided a little. She sighed: "Xiaohao, there is a charity dinner tonight, do you know? Your father..." Did he tell you?

After all, she still had some hopes for her husband, and the first sentence she asked at this time was to ask her son for confirmation.

It was just that he was interrupted by Zhou Minghao before he finished speaking. Zhou Minghao closed his eyes, remembering that his good father wanted him to help Zhou Minghan at the banquet that day, he couldn't stop feeling sick.

"He said that he would take Zhou Minghan and me with him, but I don't want to go." Zhou Minghao didn't want to talk anymore, so he stood up and prepared to leave: "It's getting late, Mom, you should go to bed."

Although Zhou's mother was a little unhappy about her husband's insistence on taking Zhou Minghan with her, she was relieved after hearing this answer, and her anger almost subsided. She scolded: "Why are you so self-willed, this charity dinner is not like the ones in the past. An irrelevant banquet, how can you give up this opportunity to that little bastard?"

Zhou Minghao nodded, yawned and said, "Yeah, I'll pay attention next time."

"It seems that your father still misses you. You can't live up to your father's expectations. It's a pity. Be careful next time. You can't be so willful." Mother Zhou smiled, and the stagnant atmosphere in the living room was relieved. .

Zhou Minghao, who was about to go upstairs, stopped in his tracks. His face turned dark instantly, and he softly shattered Zhou's mother's thoughts: "Mother, do you know that the charity dinner stipulates that only one person can be brought?"

Isn't that old guy Zhou Shen talking about Zhou Minghan in front of him just to provoke him to quit?

Those two are worthy of being father and son, they even have the same disgusting methods of dealing with people, but they can accurately target his weaknesses, which is really admirable.

Zhou Minghao didn't stay long, turned around and went upstairs, leaving Zhou's mother sitting on the sofa in a daze.

The mother still had hopes for the old man, but she didn't see that the two of them had already started planning. It's better to shatter these thoughts earlier.

After closing the door, Zhou Minghao put the drink on the bedside table casually, picked up the photo frame on the cabinet, and stroked the young man in the photo with his fingers, his expression suddenly softened.

How should he find out what his mother said?

"Xiaohan, is there anything going on today?" Lu Hang put down the mouse and looked at the young man who was folding the quilt.

"If there's nothing else to do, let's go to the bar to play disco, shall we?" Lu Hang was eager to try.

Qi Zhaohan shook his head and smiled: "You go, I have an appointment today."

"Did someone?? A man or a woman? From our school?" Lu Hang was instantly excited. You know, others have always invited Qi Zhaohan, but I have never seen Qi Zhaohan take the initiative to ask someone out. This is too strange .

Qi Zhaohan straightened the head that he leaned towards, and said helplessly, "Man, why are you so gossip, go and play your game."

"Oh, well, don't ask." Lu Hang saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he had to back away. Fortunately, the game immediately attracted his attention, leaving him with no time to care about other things.

Qi Zhaohan looked at the energetic Lu Hang, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want me to go too and give you advice?" Eric heard the sound of walking in the living room early in the morning. He rubbed his messy hair and pushed open the door. Sure enough, he saw Gu Ze sitting on the sofa tidying up. With his sleeves on, he looked like he was about to attend a major event, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked intentionally.

Of course Gu Ze knew that he wanted to join in the fun, so he glanced at him and ignored him, and quickly put on a pair of sapphire cufflinks.

Eric looked at his outfit and shook his head: "It's just eating with others. Will dressing so solemnly scare them?"

"Is it grand?" Gu Ze looked down at his clothes and was about to speak again when he heard an alarm ring from his phone. His expression changed and he became a little nervous. He grabbed the phone, nodded at Eric, and then go out.

Eric shook his head, returned to the bedroom with emotion and closed the door,

Sure enough, he is a guy who has never been in a relationship. How can he invite his sweetheart to dinner and wear a suit? Isn't this just adding pressure to people? He wanted to see Qi Zhaohan's surprised appearance.

It must be interesting.

———

Qi Zhaohan went downstairs, took a taxi at the school gate, told the driver the address of the master, and then nestled in the back seat with his eyes closed.

He actually regretted it after agreeing to Gu Ze, maybe he shouldn't have more contact with Gu Ze in private, but at the time he didn't know whether it was because of a demon or something, he saw Gu Ze's cautious tone, There was an inexplicable sourness in my heart, so I agreed by accident.

Fortunately, it's just a meal, and it doesn't take long.

Qi Zhaohan exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.

The driver, Lao Liu, is a talkative person. During his boring taxi career in seven or eight years, what he liked most was chatting with passengers, and he was also happy when the passengers were comfortable. But the one who picked him up today closed his eyes as soon as he came up, and this young man had an indescribable aura, just like the boss of their taxi company, he didn't dare to speak too much, for fear of disturbing the other party's rest.

Seeing that this person finally opened his eyes, he couldn't help but want to chat with this person, but because of the aura of the other person, he endured and endured, and finally the desire/desire to chat overwhelmed the others, he considered Opened the mouth: "This little brother is also a student of S University? What university is he studying now?"

Qi Zhaohan looked at the driver and responded, "Yes, I'm a freshman now."

"Oh, what a coincidence, my son is also from S University, and he is also a freshman. He seems to be in the Department of Finance. I heard that he can make a lot of money after he comes out." The driver Lao Liu opened up the chatterbox and said G.

Qi Zhaohan smiled and responded to Lao Liu, and the two chatted very well for a while.

The car drove for about ten minutes. Lao Liu skillfully controlled the car and made a left turn. He was about to reach the place. He smacked his mouth, stopped the topic with interest, and looked at the young man in the back seat in casual clothes. Dress and destination, he smiled and said, "Is this a dinner with good friends today?"

good friend?

Qi Zhaohan froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.

It should be regarded as friends, but as good friends, forget it.

He couldn't get past his knot.

The car stopped firmly at the entrance of the clubhouse, Qi Zhaohan gave Lao Liu the fare for the ride, and then got out of the car.

He glanced at the elegant facade of the clubhouse, took a deep breath, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, a waiter greeted him, Qi Zhaohan waved his hand, and went straight to the familiar figure on the sofa.

Gu Ze habitually raised his head to look at the door, and then froze for a moment. He stared blankly at the person who was thinking about it day and night, and unconsciously held his breath.

Qi Zhaohan greeted with a natural expression: "Gu Ze, why are you here?"

Gu Ze came back to his senses when Qi Zhaohan called out his name. He stood up in a panic, and replied, "I just arrived too, so I wanted to wait for you here first..."

Qi Zhaohan nodded knowingly, and then asked: "Then shall we go up now?"

"Okay, okay." Gu Ze responded.

At this time, the waiter who was standing by the side stepped forward and respectfully led the way for the two of them.

Gu Ze let Qi Zhaohan go first, and he followed half a step behind Qi Zhaohan.

He pinched his palms indiscriminately, and looked greedily at the back of the person in front of him, wishing to engrave this person's figure and every move deeply in his mind.

He actually lied. He originally wanted to pick up Xiaohan, but Xiaohan refused. He arrived at the clubhouse two hours earlier and waited in the lobby. He wanted to see Xiaohan as soon as possible so that he could spend more time with each other. .

Like now.

———

This club is famous for its good food. It is said that the chefs are hired from Michelin restaurants with high salaries, especially the sweet and sour dishes are very good.

The two sat down, and Gu Ze sat next to Qi Zhaohan. He got up and poured a cup of tea for Qi Zhaohan, and said softly, "Drink some tea first, and the food will be served soon."

Qi Zhaohan took the tea, thanked him softly, and said, "I'm not very hungry now, if Mr. Gu is fine, we can talk about the land in the north of the city."

Gu Ze's expression darkened, and he said in a shy voice, "Aside from work, don't we have anything else to talk about?"

Qi Zhaohan was taken aback, and he waved his hand: "If Mr. Gu is not in the mood to chat, then we won't talk. I just saw that Mr. Gu is dressed in a grand manner, and I thought you were here to discuss business..."

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Gu Ze's attire, as if he was coming to discuss business. At that time, he thought that his shirt and jeans were too immodest compared with it...

Hearing the alienated Mr. Gu from Qi Zhaohan's mouth, Gu Ze only felt a pain in his heart, and he called hoarsely: "Xiaohan, can you call me Aze."

Don't call him Mr. Gu anymore.

Qi Zhaohan paused, raised his eyes to look at him, and said nothing.

Gu Ze's eyes were full of sorrow, and he looked at his sweetheart pleadingly.

The private room seemed to be silent in an instant, only the breathing of the two slowly flowed.

Qi Zhaohan understood the emotion in his eyes, but felt his heart burning, he hurriedly avoided meeting his eyes, took a sip of tea from his teacup like a cover, and regretted his impulsive decision yesterday even more.

If he knew this earlier, he would try his best to break the contract and not come.

When Gu Ze saw that he kept silent, his heart ached even worse. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he was afraid that the lunch appointment he had finally made would be ruined, so he casually grinned and changed the topic softly.

When the topic was brought back to work, Gu Ze obviously felt that Qi Zhaohan was relieved, and the atmosphere in the private room became softer. His heart was sour, but he could only keep smiling.

If you don't count the episode at the beginning, the meal went well. Seeing the end of the lunch, Qi Zhaohan got up to say goodbye to Gu Ze. Gu Ze was speechless. He didn't expect Qi Zhaohan to leave so soon, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: " Xiaohan, I also ordered other entertainment items, how about..."

Qi Zhaohan didn't want to stay any longer, he interrupted Gu Ze: "No need, there is still something to do in school this afternoon, you have fun."

"Also..." Qi Zhaohan paused, "If you have business in the future, you can contact my secretary."

His implication is obvious, just don't contact him privately if you have nothing to do.

Gu Ze felt as if he was in an ice cave, he said after a while, "What about private matters?"

"There should be no personal matters between us." After Qi Zhaohan finished speaking, he nodded and left.

There is no personal matter between us, such unfeeling words came from his Xiaohan mouth.

Gu Ze raised his hand to cover his eyes, and let out a sob.

Like a lone wolf losing its lover.
