77 『 Contract 』
Gu Shengge didn't understand what was wrong with him.
He thought that as someone who had just stepped off the plane and had not yet had time to reverse jet lag, perhaps the first thing he needed to do was get a good night's sleep and throw all the ridiculous and inexplicable speculations in his head into the trash.
After all, jealousy and hostility were seen in Shen Jue's eyes, and they were almost so absurd that he couldn't even accept them. Gu Shengge even felt that he must have been too tired, which led to such an absurd illusion in front of him.
"That, General Manager Shen," with an inexplicable apology, Gu Shengge looked at Shen Jue in the front seat inexplicably guilty, "Thank you very much for coming to pick me up." I guess I'm busy at work?......"
"......" raised his eyes silently, and Shen Jue glanced at Gu Shengge, who took the initiative to talk, from the rearview mirror. Quietly looking away, he said in a deep voice that was an understatement,
"Nothing. But whatever the president orders, it's my job. You are no exception. ”
Sensing Shen Jue's indifferent and detached attitude, Gu Shengge paused for a second, still raised the corners of his lips, and smiled gratefully at the person in the front seat. Glancing out of the window without a trace, Gu Shengge's face did not move, but he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
It seems that this Manager Shen is really annoying him......
Helplessly showing a wry smile, trying to divert his attention, Gu Shengge propped his chin and enjoyed the scenery passing by outside the window.
The gorgeous timbre of the violin suddenly reverberated through the carriage, with an indescribable sense of familiarity. Gu Shengge raised his eyes and was a little surprised to find that the source of the melody was actually Shen Jue's mobile phone.
Seeing Shen Jue pick up his mobile phone expressionlessly, Gu Shengge, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, the ringtone was actually a violin song, or such a delicate music...... He originally thought that a person like Shen Jue would probably only use the system ringtone or vibration.
Shen Jue in the front seat was still looking at the screen thoughtfully, as if he was considering something. Gu Shengge glanced at it inadvertently, and clearly saw the familiar name on the screen-
Luo Yi.
Retracting his gaze a little clearly, Gu Shengge looked out of the window sleepily. I had heard that Senior Brother had a good relationship with this Manager Shen, but now it seems that this is really the case. Ah, speaking of which, at the last senior brother's concert, they seemed to have interacted with the game?......
Gu Shengge in the back seat propped his head, absentmindedly and groggily reminiscing. Shen Jue, who was in the front seat, seemed to be in a predicament, and he was a little restless for a while. Subconsciously hung up the phone, Shen Jue lowered his eyes and unconsciously clenched the mobile phone in his hand. The words that Luo Yi said backstage a few days ago appeared clearly in front of him at this moment, echoing in his ears heavily.
Subconsciously remembered the person who was still in the UK at the moment, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gu Shengge with a sleepy face in the rearview mirror, and Shen Jue became more and more irritable. The mobile phone between his fingers sounded the familiar melody again, Shen Jue's body stiffened, gritted his teeth and turned off the phone directly. Sensing the somewhat surprised gaze cast by the young man sitting in the back row, Shen resolutely turned his face away and calmly looked out the window.
Outside the window, the lush green belt continues to retreat as the car passes. Shen Jue unconsciously clenched his fists, and at some point, his palms were already damp.
The text message he received last night unfolded in front of his eyes almost instantly. The black-and-white font on the screen seemed to turn into the man's magnetic voice, constantly echoing in his ears—
"No matter how long you want to think, I can wait. ”
"I'm waiting for your reply. ”
Zheng Hengzhao took a sip of the tea cup on the table, and when he put it down again, the old man opposite already had an extra contract in his hand.
Putting down the teacup without hurry, Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes and chuckled meaninglessly. When he raised his eyes again, the mockery in his black eyes splashed with thick ink seemed to disappear in an instant. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and there was only understatement indifference in his inky eyes.
"This tea is good," he sighed, his breath feeling a little indifferent, "if there is more, let me bring some back so that he can taste the taste of grandpa." ”
"You don't have to insinuate like that. Sighing slowly, the old man sitting across the table lowered his eyebrows a little. Pushing the contract in his hand to the young man across the table, the old man's always majestic voice was rarely a little soothing, "This month, I have worked hard for you." I've learned all about the Internet, and you're really attentive to that kid. This time, I added 30% of the investment, this is a new contract, you can take a look at it and ......"
"I'm sorry," interrupting the old man's words with his eyes down, Zheng Hengzhao pushed the contract in front of him back to the old man opposite, "Such a contract...... I don't want to sign it a second time. ”
Raising his eyes thoughtfully, the old man glanced at Zheng Hengzhao deeply. After a long time, he suddenly sighed, and said as if exclamation,
"Hengzhao, I know that your SG is developing very well. I also know that what I voted for you, in less than three years, you will return the original amount. ”
Picking up the teacup with affection, the old man's wrinkled face showed a somewhat complicated smile, "At my age like you, my eldest brother and I are far from having the talent of you. I've always known how good you are. That's why before you go back to China, I will choose you and ask you to help me take care of that child......"
didn't look at Zheng Hengzhao's silently lowered eyebrows, the old man shook the tea cup in his hand, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and the old man's eyes showed emotions that precipitated like the bottom of the tea,
"But I didn't expect that a child like you would also be angry. ”
Silently clenching the tea cup between his fingers, the corners of Zheng Hengzhao's eyes raised a touch of self-deprecating meaning. As if thinking of something, his expression gradually became positive.
"You're being too modest. Calmly opened his mouth to reject the old man's praise, Zheng Hengzhao also raised the tea cup and drank the tea in the cup. The bitter aroma of tea spread on the tip of his tongue, and Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes, only to feel that the bitterness on his taste buds was almost spreading to the bottom of his heart.
"All I do is a shady businessman's face. ”
Raising his eyes to look at the inexplicable old man, Zheng Hengzhao paused, and the color of his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Compared with the Han family's 'prosperous brothers' who dominated the business world back then, my little skill as an insect carver is really nothing. ”
Sensing that the old man on the other side moved his body a little uncomfortably, Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes and covered the corners of his eyes with thick eyelashes.
Zheng Hengzhao remembers that when he was very young, he had heard his father talk about how the "prosperous brothers" who dominated the business world strategized and stirred up the situation, and how they spent nearly ten years working together to revitalize the then lifeless business world.
With only the hands of the two of them, and some meager family properties left by their ancestors, the two have achieved the huge business empire of the Han family today, brick by brick. It can be said that the two brothers Han Dingxing and Han Dingsheng of the Han family were not only in the limelight in the business world at that time, but also turned their hands into clouds and covered their hands into rain.
And at that time, he probably never thought of it. Many years later, the figure who appeared in Zheng Xian's mouth and used to inspire him to forge ahead is sitting on the futon opposite him at this moment. He held the teacup and looked at himself with a calm and gentle look in his eyes. Like every ordinary old man, he was anxious and nervous about his only grandson's every move, and even in order to compensate the child, he did not hesitate to put forward such absurd conditions when he came to fight for investment, and signed that unique investment contract with him.
His gaze swept over the dark-looking old man opposite, Zheng Hengzhao leaned over and poured the tea cup full, and sat back in silence. The pale green tea core swirled happily in the clear tea, as if thinking of the same thing, and the two people in the tea room fell into a brief silence for a moment.
Zheng Hengzhao knew that Han Dingxing in front of him was like him, and he could always clearly remember the scene on the day the two signed the contract.
"I still remember......" The old man in front of him suddenly spoke in a low voice, as if he was recalling something, and a slight gentle smile curved into the corner of his eyes, "On the day of the proposed contract, when you heard my conditions, you were surprised like a child. ”
Observing Zheng Hengzhao in front of him with gentle eyes, Han Dingsheng smiled and shook his head, "But now, in your body, I probably can't even find half a bit of childishness." ”
"I didn't know at that time-" Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes and seemed to recall the situation at that time, "Although I chose Han as the best investor in SG, I didn't know at that time that the legendary chairman Han Dingsheng was my neighbor's grandfather who played with me to the end." ”
Glancing meaningfully at the old man opposite, Zheng Hengzhao's eyes became deeper and deeper, "What's more, at that time, the conditions you put forward really shocked me - I have won many investments. All they ask for is shares or property rights. After a slight pause, Zheng Hengzhao stopped recalling and glanced at Han Dingsheng with deep eyes, "But your condition is only for me to return to China to take care of your grandson instead of you." At the time, I was really surprised. ”
Sensing the deep meaning in Zheng Hengzhao's eyes, Han Dingxing took a sip of tea, and his unfathomable eyes slid through the look of admiration, "It turns out that I didn't look at the wrong person." You have grown up too fast, and choosing you to take care of Shengge is probably the wisest contract I have signed. ”
Without getting Zheng Hengzhao's answer, Han Dingsheng raised his eyes in surprise. Glancing at the inexplicable silent youth, Han Dingsheng couldn't help coughing a few times, shook his head and whispered, "I know you blame me, blame me for not wanting to meet him and recognize him." It's even more strange to me back then, I fostered him in an orphanage and let him ...... alone" As if it was difficult to continue, the old man stopped talking in silence, he paused for a few seconds, and then sighed in a low voice, "But there are many things, I haven't thought about how to tell him yet...... I met rashly, you say, how did it end?"
His eyes swept over the contract on the table, and the old man's eyes gradually became solemn, "You kid, you look shrewd, but you are actually even more warm-hearted." I've been thinking about what you said on the phone for a long time. I even thought about telling him all about it as it was—"
As if he was testing something, the old man looked directly at Zheng Hengzhao opposite meaningfully before his voice fell.
Sensing the old man's elegant gaze, Zheng Hengzhao pinched the fingers of the tea cup and was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he slowly straightened up without a trace. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept the contract on the table that was more lucrative than before, and he didn't pause, he raised his eyes as if he was ignoring it,
"If that's your choice. He paused, his deep voice inexplicably calm.
"I choose respect. ”
When Gu Shengge walked into SG behind Shen Jue with his luggage, he saw Yin Ze sitting in the hall waiting at a glance.
"Welcome back!!"
Seeing Yin Ze skillfully pounce over and give him a bear hug, Gu Shengge habitually patted him on the back in response, and couldn't help the smile on his lips for a while, "Why do you have time to pick me up downstairs? Don't you have to go to the crew today?"
When he lived in the UK, Gu Shengge also had a few videos with Yin Ze in his spare time. In the video, Yin Ze also complained to him, saying that the drama scenes this time were very densely arranged, the costumes were also very complicated, and the dense announcements were almost about to tire him and Shen Zun into dogs. So seeing Yin Ze in the company at this moment, Gu Shengge felt a little strange inexplicably. "Didn't you say the schedule was full? don't tell me you're done......"
"It's only been two weeks since filming started!" Funny patted Gu Shengge's head, Yin Ze explained helplessly, "It's a long story, it's actually something wrong with the investment of our crew, by the way, I'll tell you......"
Following the surging Yin Ze and pressing the elevator button, Gu Shengge was stunned for a second, and suddenly felt like something was missing. After looking around, he realized that at some point, Shen Jue, who was originally walking in front of him, had already gone upstairs in advance and went back to the office to work. Yin Ze in his ears was still chattering about Shen Zun's inconsiderateness, Gu Shengge smiled a little helplessly, and finally pulled up his luggage and walked into the elevator behind Yin Ze.
So I said, how could he ...... Hey?" As if he only found out that there were only the two of them in the elevator at this moment, Yin Ze glanced at Gu Shengge a little confused, and asked in hindsight, "What about Manager Shen? Why did he suddenly disappear!"
"I probably had something to do, so I went up first. Raising the corners of his lips calmly, Gu Shengge smiled at Yin Ze in front of him, "You seem to have lost some weight, although the announcement has stopped, isn't it good to rest for a while like now?"
"What's good!" Wrinkling his nose and waving his hand, Yin Ze looked a little inexplicably aggrieved, "Don't mention it, as soon as I heard the announcement here, Shen Zun was transferred to take someone else! Now I only take my assistant to variety shows, and sometimes I can't see others for several days...... You don't even know how pitiful I am as a lonely person!"
"How could it be to bring someone else?" Touching Yin Ze's hair with some sympathy, Gu Shengge raised the corners of his eyes in surprise, "Didn't Heng Zhao say that he was going to develop Shen Zun into your exclusive agent, how could he not be transferred to bring someone else?"
"Besides, it's not all to blame on that Zheng Laosan who doesn't count!" snorted indignantly, Yin Ze rolled his eyes with some dissatisfaction, "If he hadn't brought that person named Ji Mo to the company, how could Shen Zun be suddenly assigned to act as that guy's temporary agent......! I heard that the public relations department is already formulating a plan to praise him, I really don't know what that group of people will toss...... Are you listening to me?!"
"Ahh......h A certain premonition in his heart has been churning since the beginning, and that strong premonition is like a bird that just wants to break free from the cage, struggling to fill all his thoughts.
Gu Shengge tried his best to suppress the guess in his heart, and looked at Yin Ze who was complaining slowly in front of him with a complicated expression. As if deciding something, he paused, and suddenly asked tentatively,
"That Zimmer...... Is that the Zimmer in the clarification video on Hengzhao's Weibo?"
"That's right, it's him," nodded firmly, Yin Ze said without thinking too much, "I heard those people in the secretariat department say last time, it is said that it was because he brought that video to Hengzhao that the third child signed him into the company." If you want to say that he can't help it, after all, this kind of thing happened on his notice, and Jiang Hao is in the same company as him. If Heng Zhao didn't do this, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in his original company......"
Yin Ze in front of him was still talking about something, but Gu Shengge couldn't listen to a word. There was an irrepressible buzzing sound in his ears that was frequently making trouble, Gu Shengge clenched his fingers, only to feel that his ears kept recalling the familiar voice of the person-
"You remember, from today onwards, I am your backstage-" 166Reading.com
