They men probably think that after a meal they are familiar, after I have a meal with them, the things between them are no longer hidden from me, I have almost become half of their own people, and many times, their affairs do not shy away from me.

Of course, this is not to say that things between them are weird and need to be avoided by outsiders, but because things between them are almost the lifeblood of the company, and if the plan discussed goes wrong, it is a gross mistake to miss a thousand miles.

They did not avoid me, which is equivalent to believing in me as a person, believing that I will not betray them, and believing in my loyalty.

Their plan is very special, Xiao Ran and Vice President Qi dare not use the plan they discuss in full swing, I often sit on the side to listen but do not give advice, but Zhou Wei, as if he is very concerned about me, every three or five times to call my name, as if these things will really listen to my advice.

One night Zhuo Ou sent me home, before leaving and I mentioned Zhou Wei's matter, I actually paused, he told me about Zhou Wei, many things I doubted gradually surfaced, pro, he added, stay away from him in the future.

I thought to myself, you told me to stay away from him, but aren't you the one who brought me close to him? If you hadn't asked me to have dinner with you, would you have been in such trouble? But I can't say these words, after all, he is not the same as before, and I am even more different from before.

I learned how to follow the hair, not go against him, and not make myself feel bad if it backfired.

Just like that day, I still nodded with a submissive look, and the perfunctory attitude was obvious to anyone, Zhuo Ou was not stupid, on the contrary, his IQ was almost outstanding, and he was the smartest person I had ever seen except for Brother Xiao Ran.

He grabbed me by the shoulders and looked at me intently and asked, "What kind of feelings do you have for him?" ”

I was stunned and asked, "He?" Do you mean Zhou Wei? ”

He blinked, possibly in acquiescence, still staring at me.

"Isn't I a business partner to him? What other feelings could there be? "At that time, I didn't really understand his question, I didn't know, he actually wanted to ask how much I loved Zhou Wei. But it's okay, in fact, even if he asks me like this, I still don't know how to answer, after all, I forgot so much at that time, how could I have extra brain cells to remember this man who has made me miserable for so long?

When I finished answering his question and asked him, Zhuo Ou had already let go of his hand, looked at me with a slight frown, and said, "I will try not to arrange for you to meet in the future, is it okay?" ”

I pondered for a while, and I wondered if he didn't want me to be exposed to the latest projects or didn't want me to get along with Zhou Wei. But no matter what, whether it is at work or off work, he is my leader, what the leader says, can I still say no? Apparently not!

Zhuo Ou has really changed, his way of speaking is a little strange to me, in fact, it is not a sudden strangeness, I have felt that he is strange a long time ago, if you want to go back, it may be when I first met him in New York, right?

New York branch under the leadership of Zhuo Ou, the performance at the end of the year is almost three times that of last year, when the annual meeting here began to be planned, Xiao Ran brother was the first to say to participate, the president of the group to participate in the annual meeting is a tradition, but to participate in the annual meeting of the branch, especially here is a small branch, the total number of employees up and down the whole company is only 1,000 people, the president to participate in that is to give enough face. But I knew in my heart that Brother Xiao Ran must not be able to sit still, he had to come to see Zhuo Ou to remind him by the way.

I have seen all this, but I have never reported to Brother Xiao Ran, firstly, I think it is unnecessary, and secondly, I feel that I am still very business-ethical, since I have signed a confidentiality agreement with the American branch, I should abide by it.

Brother Xiao Ran met with me the day after he came to New York, and he brought me a document, and when he handed it to me, he deliberately looked at the surroundings, which gave me the illusion that I was a spy.

The document shows the business performance of Mousse in the past year, although the official has also announced specific figures, but this document is obviously an internal document with more detailed turnover distribution and the company's plan for the coming year.

When I raised my eyes to look at him, he was looking at me, and when he saw me looking at him, he smiled, and he said: "Mu Shi's development in the past year is almost the sum of the previous three years, Qi Dong and I feel that the development is a little too fast, and we want to stop and slow down, what is your opinion?" ”

I was surprised and asked, "Me?" ”

He looked at me noncommittal, and I continued, "Haven't I already entered the U.S. branch?" Can you give advice to the Moose headquarters? ”

Brother Xiao Ran shook his head, "You still haven't seen the end, you take a look at the equity distribution, you are one of the shareholders of our Mushi, although the share is not much......"

I didn't listen to what he said later, just stared at my share on the last page, ten percent, which... Not much?

I flipped through the papers and showed him, "Why don't I know when this happened?" ”

"Probably the day after you were beaten, Zhuo Ou took the initiative to apply for the equity transfer in the company, I was not in the company at the time, Qi Dong confirmed it several times, he resolutely transferred, you know, he was stubborn, no one could stop him."

"But... Why transfer it to me? It's weird, don't you think? ”

"Qi Dong and I speculated about the reason, but most of them were vetoed, and when we got busy, no one cared anymore, and you became one of the shareholders of Mushi."

"That's... What they said about Zhuo Dong... Is it Zhuoou? "I finally remembered the incident.

"Yes, he used to hold three percent of the shares, all of which his father bought in his name, and then he didn't know where the money came from and continued to buy some, and when the shareholding accounted for ten percent, you had an accident."

"And what about his 90 percent stake in the New York branch? Is this branch of Mousse going to be acquired by him? ”

Brother Xiao Ran shook his head, "I can't talk about acquisitions, I asked him about his thoughts before, and his answer was very simple, I wanted to see if I could be independent." ”

"Independence?" I asked, confused, "Independent what?" ”

"Haven't you seen his mother? You used to work in my shop again, and you didn't keep up with the times at all when you roamed around the gossip circle of the noble lady? Don't you know who Zhuo's mother is? Brother Xiao Ran slowly instructed me, but I was still confused.

"Does it matter who his mother is? Aren't we talking about Zhuo now? ”

Brother Xiao Ran sighed lightly and shook his head, "His mother is Mrs. Zhuo, Mrs. Zhuo of the Zhuo family, you should know about the Zhuo Group, right?" ”

I nodded, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Zhuo Ou is the third young master of the Zhuo clan?" ”

Brother Xiao Ran nodded helplessly, with a teachable helplessness, "I really don't know how you get along, this must have known each other for more than 20 years, right?" Why don't you seem to know anything about him? Besides, you don't know anything about him, could it be that he gave you some kind of medicine to get a certificate with him, or that you are not clear-headed? ”

I frowned and listened, my mind was whirring, I didn't know how to say it for a while, I held the goblet in my hand and drank a whole glass of red wine, and then I was choked and coughed a lot before I stopped, and asked with tears in my eyes: "I don't know, but I feel like I'm more unworthy of him......"

Brother Xiao Ran reached out and knocked on my head, and said angrily, "Hey! You're not done! I didn't invite you to dinner to see you so downcast, I had a business. ”

I wiped away my tears and asked, "What's the matter?" Aren't you afraid that I will leak secrets? ”

Brother Xiao Ran may think that I have returned to normal, and I started to talk about him with confidence, and I also spoke extremely simple language for about a minute, I finally understood, he and Zhuo Ou, who seemed to be brothers, were secretly calculating. I couldn't help but quip, "Don't you know the ridiculous thing about me and Joo?" Do you still dare to use me, aren't you afraid that I will turn against me? ”

Brother Xiao Ran smiled faintly, "Defection? You're very good at using words, so are you afraid that I'll let your two godsons just throw all your things into the toilet and flush them away? ”

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, glaring at him angrily, and regretting that I shouldn't have put him in his house because I was afraid of losing my documents, and I shouldn't have handed over such a heavy responsibility to Su Mu, who was an idol of my father, hey~ One misstep will be hated for thousands of years!

In fact, what Brother Xiao Ran asked me to do was not a leak or something that would have a significant impact on the company, but I felt ashamed that I was not so frank in doing it.

The sneaky way I went to the company archives made me feel like a thief myself, not to mention the new security guard, who didn't know me very well, and he immediately pulled me out of the archives and asked me to stand in the door and ask me something. I answered one by one and confirmed the documents by the way, but he still had a skeptical expression. At this moment, Zhuo Ou suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor and walked quickly towards us.

Of course, the security guard knew the president, and the way he nodded and bowed his head was a world of difference from the miraculous look of catching a thief who could make him ask for credit.

Zhuo Ou stood up to me and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

I looked at him with a flushed face, and quickly lowered my head at a loss. I hated my damn pride and my stubborn nerves, and I remember promising him that I wouldn't cheat on him again, big or small, so I had no choice but not to speak.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ou didn't think much about it, just let the security guard leave, took me into the archives, walked straight to a row of materials, took a copy and handed it to me, and said, "This should be what you need." ”

I waited in amazement to look at him with wide eyes, and for a moment I wanted to explain something, but in the end I didn't say anything, and I didn't pick up the information in his hand.

His deep voice suddenly came from above his head, "I know that Xiao Ran wants to take a look at these things, I deliberately didn't show them to him, just to let him find me, or find you, I want to know, in your heart, whether I am someone you can trust, but I seem to have failed, right?" ”

Somehow, his self-deprecating words made me very uncomfortable and suffocating, and when I looked up at him, he had already turned around and walked towards the front of the shelf, and when he got to the end, he took a ladder and climbed up, and turned out a dusty file bag, patted the dust and took it down.

He opened it to himself, and said: "This is a photo of us when we went to the beach, the negative was destroyed by me, I thought about giving you the photo, but you have refused to see me, and later, I thought, if I give you and you tear it up, then such a good memory between us will be lost, so I have not given it to you, today it happens, I will give it to you." ”

There was a seductive in his language, and I barely thought about it before I reached out and took it.

The smile in the photo was so innocent, and I looked so happy that I stared at myself in the photo and the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled.

I still took the documents and the photos, and Zhuo Ou forced me to take them, threatening to deduct my salary.

In fact, I really wanted to tell him that these things couldn't threaten me at all, and compared with the ten percent of the dry shares, those incomes were just a drop in the bucket, but I didn't say it, and I didn't want to mention it, largely because Brother Xiao Ran told me that when Zhuo Ou signed the transfer agreement, he verbally asked Vice President Qi not to tell me easily, and he was afraid that I would go to him to revise it. Since he doesn't want me to know, I won't let him know that I already know about it.

When Brother Xiao Ran came to my apartment to get the information, he brought a bottle of red wine, and when I told him that this information was given to me by Zhuo Ou, he was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled faintly and took the information to leave.

I realize that I don't understand these men anymore.

Zhou Wei, he always has a mysterious smile on his face, which makes people unable to understand his emotions, let alone thoughts. Zhuo Ou, I could understand a little bit before, but now I can't see through what kind of thoughts he has, and what the next step will be. And Brother Xiao Ran, he has the highest power that none of us have, but he can almost only trust a childhood friend like me.

A few of us had another meal together, this time four of us, which I hadn't imagined. You know, at the beginning, the American branch of Mushi and the Paris branch of the four seas were almost incompatible, but now, two men who have PK on the cusp of the storm actually want to sit at a table calmly and have dinner together, thinking about it is stimulating nerves, no, it feels very good to think about it! Essence! Color!

However, what disappointed me was that not only did they not grin and frown coldly at the table, on the contrary, they were more like good brothers who loved each other, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, as if I was an outsider.

Brother Xiao Ran and Zhou Wei both brought the driver, only Zhuo Ou, he took a taxi in a hurry because he just got off the plane, at ten o'clock in the evening, the three men drank staggered, I couldn't parry them all, so I had to call their driver and send Zhuo Ou back.

I don't know if the little half glass of wine I drank also made me drunk, I sent Zhuo Ou home on the way to lean on him in a daze, when I got out of the car, when the driver woke me up, I saw Zhuo Ou sitting in a precarious position, he didn't look like a drunk person at all, but the expression on his face with a faint smile looked a little scary. I reached out and shook it in front of him, and he grabbed my hand, took a bill out of his pocket, handed it to the driver, and pulled me out of the car.

I actually wanted to say that I wanted the driver to take me home along the way, and I would pay the bill with me and take * to the company for reimbursement when the time came, but obviously, he didn't want to give me a chance.

I was led into the lobby of the apartment by him, standing in front of the elevator, he unlocked the elevator's control system with his fingerprint, and I entered the elevator with him, and he stared at me with red eyes.

I felt strange and reached out to touch his head and asked, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

He grabbed my hand touching his head, and stared at me with bloodshot eyes, and I had no doubt that if it weren't for the sound of the elevator, he would have kept staring at me until he set me on fire!

Without saying a word, he pulled me off the elevator, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he kissed me on the lips, and I was roughly pushed against the wall by him, with the cold wall behind me and his hot body in front of me. I want to struggle but I can't do anything, after all, I'm just a woman, and my strength is far less than that of a man!

He was very engaged, and the kiss gradually made me a little distracted, and after a moment of confusion, only his breath filled his nose with the smell of alcohol.

I don't remember how I fell asleep, but I remember that when he came into me, I shuddered, shuddered, and got what I wanted. I guess I must be crazy!

I think he probably didn't know how to face me, and when I woke up the next morning he was no longer with me, and there was a note next to the bed in his handwriting. A simple command is written in a single line: you don't have to come to work when you wake up, you are granted a day off.

When I cleaned up and went out of my room, I saw breakfast on the table, and there was no heat for a long time, so I was not in the mood to eat it.

I knew in my heart that last night's indulgence was my fault, I was a sober person, how could I let a drunk man kiss me, I should have let him get out of the car alone when I was in the taxi, no, I should have let his assistant come to him, no matter how bad, let Shirley come and bring him back......

The best and worst thing in the world is that there is no regret medicine, whether you want to repeat the mistakes of the past, whether you want to start over, there is no chance, what you do is what you do, what you don't do is what you don't do, regret is regret, otherwise everything goes according to plan, where do you have so many surprises in life?

I haven't seen Zhuo for a long time, and even the company's conference, I couldn't attend because of a business trip, of course I know that all this can't be just a coincidence, and it is easy for him to arrange my work. Fortunately, the work he gave me was not only not tired, but even had some oil and water, so I took the opportunity of a business trip to go back to China to see my father, and took a day or two off, which made me very content.

I met Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law at my father's house, they have moved to the house where Aunt Lin lived before, I heard that it was because the daughter-in-law was pregnant and needed to be taken care of, I saw her sitting on the sofa at my house enjoying it very much, somehow, I suddenly thought that Zhuo Ou and I didn't seem to have done any protective measures that day, and I was afraid for a while.

On the morning of the third day back in New York, I was brushing my teeth, my stomach was churning with nausea, I didn't have time to think, I threw away my toothbrush and lay on the edge of the toilet, first retching, and soon vomited a lot of things, the whole process lasted for nearly two or three minutes, when I stood up, I only felt that I wanted to lie in bed and no longer move, but I still had to go to work.

The little employee under me is a good looker, knowing that I have some contact with Zhuo Ou, when I went upstairs to report my situation, I heard that he didn't raise his eyebrows, the employee was a little frustrated, and asked me when he handed me the document: "Don't manager, are you and the president awkward again?" ”

I was stunned, shook my head and asked him, "From the company?" ”

He may have realized that he had said the wrong thing or found the wrong person, and hurriedly remedied: "No, no, I just asked casually." ”

I wasn't in the mood to care what he was trying to say, so after a few swipes and signatures, my stomach swelled again, but fortunately I had a separate bathroom in my office, and my unusual behavior didn't attract anyone's attention.

In the afternoon, when it was time to go to work, Zhuo Ou suddenly appeared in front of my office door, and the way he stood at the door and didn't come in made me feel as if we had become strangers again.

He said, "Come out, let's go to the hospital." ”

I was about to say no, my phone rang suddenly, I looked down and saw that it was a text message from the hospital, reminding me that it was time for the re-examination, because I hate the number of people on weekends, I usually make an appointment for a check-up every Wednesday afternoon. In that case, I really don't have much reason to refuse him.

In the car, I wasn't sure why Zhuo Ou called me to the hospital, whether he knew that my regular check-ups were on the way, or if he knew that I had recently been unusual. I don't know.

Zhuo Ou didn't speak along the way, and when he arrived at the hospital, he parked his car in the parking lot and had no intention of leaving, and when I unbuckled my seat belt to get out of the car, he suddenly asked, "Are you pregnant?" ”

I was stunned for about half a minute before I laughed twice and said, "Ahem, where did you hear such a ridiculous thing!" Didn't I tell you before that the doctor said I ......"

"But your personal doctor said that you went to her this morning for a consultation on the symptoms of the first trimester, and you told me, if it weren't for you, who else would have come to you early in the morning for this kind of question that can go directly to the doctor and ask you to ask your doctor twice?"

There was some emotion in Zhuo's words, I thought, it could be anger or anxiety, but it was not the emotion I hoped for. It's ridiculous to say, when I first saw the two red lines on the pregnancy test, I almost couldn't suppress my joy and called him, but in an instant my head was back online, and I quickly reacted, this may not be accurate, I can't let him down, I have to make sure, it's all right. But I didn't dare to go to the hospital because I was afraid of the consequences.
