MTL - The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over-Chapter 54 Sleepwalking like a shadow chasing the light (7)
Chaoci's social circle today is much better than when he was in middle school. After all, working in school, the relationship between teachers is much easier than the general workplace relationship, and most of the teachers are not particularly wealthy people, so they will not be excluded from the aristocratic high school because they are different everywhere.
But even so, his circle is still small. And those who are familiar with him in life will not mention the name "Lin Zheng".
This matter is very subtle to say, but it is a fact - even if Lin Zheng occupies most of Chao Ci's life, in fact, except for Lin Zheng and a few people around Lin Zheng, no one around Chao Ci knows that there is Lin Zheng. such a person.
And this person who claimed to be Lin Zheng's younger brother suddenly appeared, and he was one of the very few people in Chao Ci who was not by Lin Zheng's side and met someone related to Lin Zheng.
He could see that the youth had bad intentions. But he wanted to hear what he wanted to tell himself.
They found a coffee shop at the intersection, and Lin Qi asked Chao Ci what he liked and ordered two cups of coffee.
The two of them were not focused on the coffee. After ordering the meal, Chao Ci gestured to Lin Qi and said, "You came to me, what's the matter?"
Lin Qi smiled at Chao Ci and asked him, "Are you with Lin Zheng - I may need to change the wording... That is, you..."
"I know what you mean, yes." Chao Ci nodded, feeling a little bitter and funny in his heart.
His relationship with Lin Zheng is indeed somewhat difficult to define.
Of course it won't be a couple. In the eyes of outsiders, he is Lin Zheng's lover. It's just that Lin Qi is talking to him now, and it's not easy to use such a derogatory description.
Perhaps this Lin Qiao, who seemed to be a bad visitor, also meant to mock him with these vague words.
Chao Ci directly admitted it, and Lin Qi also went straight to the topic: "Then do you know why Lin Zheng is looking for you?"
"Why?" Chao Ci was obviously taken aback.
yes? Why?
He never thought about it.
Maybe Lin Zheng sees him pitiful? But Lin Zheng has never been a person who is overflowing with sympathy. There are also many people who like Lin Zheng and pursue Lin Zheng wildly. Why does Lin Zheng have to find him?
Seeing that Chao Ci didn't answer for a long time, Lin Qi smiled: "It seems that you haven't considered this issue before."
"It's because of one person," Lin Qi said.
Chao Ci looked up at him without speaking.
But his heartbeat was fast, and the whole person seemed to be sinking continuously.
Because he knew that maybe this person was going to tell a fact that he couldn't bear.
But he wanted to know.
Even if it is unbearable.
"Shen Yuke." Lin Qiao said a name, and then he added with a smile, "You probably don't know him. But... maybe you read the hot searches a few days ago? The news that Shen Yuning and Lin Zheng are about to get engaged."
"Shen Yuke is her elder brother, the one who grew up with Lin Zheng since childhood - the one who Lin Zheng has liked for ten years."
"The relationship between them is very good. Although they are not lovers, everyone thinks that they will come together in the end. But two years ago, Shen Yuke met a person whose pheromone fit was as high as 98%, so It didn't take long for Shen Yuke to be with that person."
Chao Ci pursed his lips, his face extremely pale.
He seemed to understand what the man was trying to say.
But he still looked at him, silently awaiting the final verdict.
And Lin Qi also showed a nasty smile at this time: "I heard that you and Lin Zheng are 100% compatible?"
"Lin Zheng was unwilling to like someone who had been in love with him for ten years because of the so-called pheromone, and even held a wedding not long ago, so he found someone who was 100% compatible with him and made a 'Testing', or... 'breathing'?"
Lin Qi put his hands together on the table and smiled: "It seems he succeeded. After all, he has been with you for almost two years, and you are still an underground lover who has no status and can be abandoned at any time."
"Oh, he is going to be engaged to Shen Yuning now. As for whether it is aimed at Shen's group or at Shen Yuke..." He lengthened his tone and looked at Chao Ci meaningfully.
The heart was pierced with blood.
Chao Ci's face was pale, and his pupils were a little lax.
It was more cruel and ironic than he imagined.
Lin Qi didn't speak anymore, ready to give Chao Ci enough time to react and ferment.
After a long time, Chao Ci's emotions barely calmed down.
So be it, he thought.
Even if it ended so awkwardly.
"Why did you tell me this?" Chao Ci asked.
He knew that this man named Lin Qi must have his purpose.
"I heard that Lin Zheng gives you 200,000 yuan per month, so far, it's estimated to be more than 3 million yuan?" Lin Qi suddenly said, then grinned, "It's too little, compared to his total assets, It's not even a drop in the bucket."
"Let's destroy him together. Don't say three million, there are three hundred million, how about it?"
After a long silence, Chao Ci suddenly asked, "...Do you know why you can't fight against Lin Zheng?"
Lin Qi's expression became a little ugly.
Chao Ci stood up directly, looked down at him, and said woodenly, "Even if a dog jumps over the wall, you have to see which wall it is?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Qiao's reaction, he turned around and walked out of the cafe.
【Did you have a little ooc just now? 】 Walking on the road, the system suddenly asked him.
[Being a little excited after suffering an emotional fatal blow, isn't it normal? 】Chao Ci said nonchalantly, 【An La An La, this will not cause the ooc judgment. I just saw how stupid this assist was and couldn't help teasing him. 】
[…] The system didn’t speak to him anymore.
This ooc level is indeed unable to reach the ooc judgment, and it will not affect the plot. It's just that Koreans rarely make mistakes like this in missions, so it's a bit strange.
However, Chao Ci is a reckless person, which is actually understandable.
...
Most of the time, Chao Ci is still very dedicated.
When he returned to Jade Palace, even if the villa was empty, he would give full play to the self-cultivation of an actor.
Sitting on the bed, sat dumbly until late at night, and then waited until the sky outside the window rose.
When people are extremely sad, sleepiness also retreats to a place.
At seven in the morning, Chao resigned from the bathroom.
He looked at his haggard face and bloodshot eyes, and felt a little satisfied.
Good, time to go.
He rarely called a taxi and took a taxi to Mingyu.
Although Lin Zheng has been busy taking over the family's other industries recently, it is the first few days of the beginning of the month. At this time, he usually completes some important decisions in Mingyu first.
Chaoci went to the front desk and said that he wanted to see Lin Zheng.
It was stopped without incident.
Chao Ci was not excited, but called Secretary Song and asked him if Lin Zheng was free now. He wanted to see Lin Zheng.
"Mr. Lin still has a more important meeting now, so let's wait, and I'll let you know when Mr. Lin is free, okay?" Secretary Song's voice was as gentle as always.
"...Okay, sorry to trouble you." Chao Ci nodded blankly.
After Secretary Song hung up the phone, he turned to look at his boss.
He was standing in front of Lin Zheng's desk, and there was no one in the office except Lin Zheng and him.
"Boss..." Secretary Song looked a little apprehensive.
"I knew that I was coming to find me." Lin Zheng whispered.
As soon as Secretary Song heard this, he felt a wave of resentment wafting from his boss.
"Leave him." Lin Zheng said.
I'm so used to him, and now I've learned to push my nose on my face.
When he thought of what Chao Ci said that day to end and leave him, Lin Zheng still felt very angry.
Gotta teach him a lesson.
After Chao Ci ended the call with Secretary Song, he went to the waiting area in the lobby to sit for three hours.
His eyes were stunned, and the whole person looked haggard, which stood out in Mingyu's bright and beautiful building.
It was after eleven o'clock, when Mingyu was about to take his lunch break, that Secretary Song called Chaoci.
"Mr. Chao, Mr. Lin has finished talking. I have sent a notice to the front desk, and someone will bring you up." Secretary Song said.
"Okay, thank you..." Chao Ci said.
Sure enough, someone took him to the top floor of Mingyu.
Chao Ci looked at the rising elevator, a little dazed.
In fact, he is no stranger here.
He also worked here for half a year, but because of his compatibility with Lin Zheng, he was kicked out.
Later, because of this fit, he became Lin Zheng's lover.
The ever-changing numbers on the elevator finally stopped, and the person who brought him sent him out of the elevator before walking a few steps before meeting Secretary Song.
"Go back, I'll just go with Mr. Chao." Secretary Song said to the man.
Secretary Song took him all the way inside.
When he reached the last door, Secretary Song stopped.
Chao Ci looked at the door and slowly opened it.
Still that huge office.
The person by the pillow he hadn't seen for several days was sitting at his desk in neat clothes and looking at him.
Those emerald green eyes couldn't see any emotion, and if I really wanted to say it, I could only read something cold.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Chao Ci looked at him blankly.
The words of the man named Lin Qi kept ringing in his mind.
-He found someone who was 100% compatible with him to do a 'test', or... 'gasp'?
- He is going to be engaged to Shen Yuning now, as for whether it is aimed at the Shen Group or at Shen Yuke...
what about now? Are you mad enough?
And Lin Zheng looked at him and found that his face was pale and haggard, his eyes were swollen and bloodshot, and he couldn't help feeling a little dull and uncomfortable.
Although this idiot said that he wanted to leave for no reason, he was very angry, but for the sake of seeing him so sad, he apologized properly, and he didn't care about it.
But Lin Zheng waited for a long time, but still didn't see Chaoci speak.
He couldn't help but get a little irritable.
"Did you come to me early in the morning just to watch me in a daze?" he asked coldly.
Chao Ci pursed his lips.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "I think about it."
Four days ago, Lin Zheng asked him to think about it for himself.
Now, four days later, Chao Ci feels that he will never think more clearly.
Lin Zheng's face remained calm, but he was a little nervous for some reason.
He actually couldn't understand why Chao Ci was so angry about him getting engaged at that time.
Because even if he found that he cared more and more about Chao Ci, he never thought of marrying Chao Ci.
This is very unimportant to him, so unimportant that he thinks it is just a name that can be used for profit. But it seems to be very important, so important that he is unwilling to give this name to Chao Ci.
Maybe he just didn't know what the name meant.
"We're done, Lin Zheng."
