After the heaviest snowfall of the winter has passed, the cold air seems to have deserted.

Even at five o'clock in the afternoon, the winter sun is still a little warm.

Jiang Luosheng walked briskly out of the backstage of the Grand Theater. She felt that the weather was so good, the performance was successful, and she was so happy to go to the barbecue.

It's been a long time since I've looked forward to it.

She looked around, but didn't find Xiao Qi.

Not far away, a car honked its horn twice.

A young man dropped the window of his Cadillac, bared his teeth and waved his hand in this direction, his voice clear, "Sister-in-law! ”

Jiang Luosheng blinked suspiciously. She does have an impression of this person, and she has met a few times in Pangu, but she has never officially greeted her.

The phone in the pocket of the down jacket shook.

Jiang Luosheng picked up the phone as he walked towards Cadillac, "Hey? ”

"Coming out?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Hmm." Jiang Luosheng blinked, "You didn't come to pick me up?" ”

"I'm in the Source House."

Jiang Luosheng was stunned, "Why did you run to the next city?" ”

"There is a problem with the project, and we have to negotiate with Party A." Xiao Qi told her, "I'll ask my colleague to pick you up." See? ”

Jiang Luosheng looked at the young man who got out of the car in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

No barbecue and no roses. I looked forward to it for a long time, but it was all disappointed.

"Liar." She muttered two words and hung up.

"Hello sister-in-law! We've seen each other a few times before. Today, I officially introduce myself for the first time, my name is Cheng Baizhou. The young man's smile was like the summer sun.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Luosheng." Jiang Luosheng smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"Xiao Qi opened a new project, took the team to the source house to negotiate with Party A, let me come and pick you up." Cheng Baizhou explained while opening the co-pilot's door for her.

"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Jiang Luosheng said politely.

The phone in the pocket of the down jacket kept vibrating. She pressed the reject button, and in a fit of rage, she simply turned on the mute mode.

Cheng Baizhou came up from the main pilot, and put his mobile phone to his ear, "I got it, don't worry." Don't nag it, I'm sure you'll be sent home safely. ”

After hanging up the phone, he smiled friendly at Jiang Luosheng, "Xiao Qi, this kid is really a mother-in-law." ”

Jiang Luosheng listened to him shouting "this kid", not "brother".

"You two know each other well?" She asked.

"Cooked, very cooked, old friends." Cheng Baizhou started the car, "During my freshman year, Tutor Zhang founded Pangu, and he recommended it to his mentor to bring me. ”

"Oh," Jiang Luosheng looked at him, "it turned out to be one of the founders of Pangu." ”

"Yes. I'm now the Associate Director of Technology. ”

"Oh, it's you!" Jiang Luosheng suddenly realized, "Xiao Qi mentioned you to me. ”

"Really?" Cheng Baizhou laughed, his tone relaxed, "It's definitely not a good word." ”

Jiang Luosheng said solemnly: "It is said that Yushu, the deputy director of technology, is knowledgeable and promising. ”

"Pull it down, sister-in-law, don't put gold on that kid's face. If he could say something like that, I'd eat my car. Cheng Baizhou didn't believe it at all.

"Ouch," Jiang Luosheng sighed, "It seems that his image in your hearts is very bad." ”

"He is a typical straight man in science and engineering, with negative expression skills, a hard mouth, cold and impersonal." Cheng Baizhou looked at Jiang Luosheng, "I guess the gentle side is given to you." ”

Jiang Luosheng tilted his head and looked at Cheng Baizhou, "Should I show smugness now?" ”

Cheng Baizhou laughed, "Okay, okay, don't secretly sprinkle dog food here." ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled, "I see you've been quite busy lately?" ”

"It's busy, but it's all going uphill now." Cheng Baizhou told her, "When I competed with Yuanyang in the past few years, there were ups and downs, and the pressure was relatively high. ”

"Yuanyang?"

"Another information security company is competing with Pangu. Sister-in-law shouldn't pay much attention to these technology companies, right? ”

"Very little. But I seem to have heard Xiao Qi mention it. Jiang Luosheng was impressed. Xiao Qi once mentioned for no reason that they were about to destroy Yuanyang. Jiang Luosheng didn't pay much attention to these, and he wasn't interested, so he didn't take it to heart.

"As soon as Pangu was founded four years ago, it went straight to the fore, and its vision and technology are always ahead of them. It wasn't until August last year that Yuanyang was finally put into the ground. Cheng Baizhou's tone was very proud, and he didn't care whether the audience was interested or not.

"Really?" Jiang Luosheng responded, "That must not be easy." ”

"But speaking of which, the president of Yuanyang is also quite miserable. The company is cold, and the people are cold. ”

"People are cold too?" Jiang Luosheng was puzzled.

"He was the victim of the poisoning case last year." Cheng Baizhou told her, "I sometimes think about it now, whether he was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to change the medicine because of the accident in Yuanyang that time, and I feel a little guilty." ”

This sentence is a bit informative. Jiang Luosheng dealt with it for a few seconds.

"You mean, the fourth victim, Mr. Jiang, is the president of Yuanyang?" She was suddenly interested.

"Yes." Cheng Baizhou nodded, "That crime scene was discovered by me and Xiao Qi." ”

"Well, he told me about it," Jiang Luosheng looked at him, "said that President Yuanyang originally asked you to discuss the acquisition that day." ”

"Yes, Yuanyang was already cold at that time, and acquisition was the only way." Cheng Baizhou looked disgusted as he spoke, "I really don't like that Yuanyang president, he looks insidious, short-tempered, and doesn't do things authentically." ”

"Why not authentically?"

"That's too much, he can do it all, he can play side balls, threaten opponents, and make stumbling blocks in business." Cheng Baizhou is still angry when he thinks about it now, "Every time I deal with him, I have to get rid of my anger first." Otherwise, you can really be. ”

Jiang Luosheng didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Cheng Baizhou said to himself: "On the day of the 5th, he said that he would talk about the acquisition at the café near his house at 11 o'clock in the morning. Xiao Qi and I happened to finish running errands in the neighborhood at ten o'clock, so we went to the café first and waited for him while typing the code. As a result, this kid didn't show up at twelve o'clock. Given his character, I thought he was playing a trick on us. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Luosheng should be reconciled.

"I was so angry that I stood up and went to the security guard of their community, using all my acting skills, saying that I couldn't contact a friend with depression, and I was afraid that something would happen to my friend, so I asked the security guard to accompany me to his house to have a look."

"How do you know he's depressed?" Jiang Luosheng raised his eyebrows.

"When we had a meeting before, Xiao Qi and I saw him eat 'relieving worries', and we just made up this reason." Cheng Baizhou paused, "I really thought he deliberately released pigeons to trick us, I wanted to embarrass him, but I didn't expect the person to really die." ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled faintly, "Your version of the story is much more informative than Xiao Qi's." ”

"Of course! Strictly speaking, Xiao Qi is not the first discoverer. When I was doing my acting, he was waiting in the café and didn't witness the scene. Cheng Baizhou continued, "It really scared me and the security guard at that time! I hurriedly called Xiao Qi and asked him to come over too, I can't bear this kind of impact alone. ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled, "Did you have a nightmare later?" ”

"Do! I did it for a week! Sister-in-law, can you imagine the feeling of opening the door and seeing a person on the ground, and you walk over and find that he is not panting? ”

Jiang Luosheng has a sense of the picture, "Thank you for your hard work, little uncle." ”

"But sometimes it's karma." Cheng Baizhou sighed, "The kid surnamed Jiang heard that he never supported his father, nor did he contact his mother, and his private life was a mess." This kind of person may really want to accept it. ”

Jiang Luosheng suddenly felt sad.

She hated Jiang Qingyuan, but to some extent, they sympathized with each other.

There is no one with whom he shares joys and sorrows, he is always alone, labeled as true or false. The weight of this label is known only to him. He can't save himself, and the pity behind his hatred, no one sees.

The car was parked in front of Dongtai Apartment.

Cheng Baizhou smiled warmly, "Sister-in-law, we're here." ”

Jiang Luosheng was a little surprised, "So fast? I feel that if I follow Xiao Qi, this road will have to be opened for a lifetime. ”

Cheng Baizhou laughed.

"Thank you," Jiang Luosheng smiled and opened the car door, "Drive carefully." ”

"Goodbye sister-in-law!" Cheng Baizhou waved goodbye.

When Jiang Luosheng returned home, he took out his muted mobile phone from his pocket.

All missed calls and unread messages from Xiao Qi.

Jiang Luosheng clicked on the unread message.

Angry?

She wrinkled her nose. Isn't it happy?

Have you eaten?

She rolled her eyes. Didn't eat it. I wanted to eat barbecue.

Don't forget to take your medicine.

She directly locked her phone and did not reply.

It's all nonsense.

Before going to bed at night, two new message reminders popped up on the screen again, from Xiao Qi.

Jiang Luosheng didn't want to see it at all.

But she thought about it and clicked in.

Go to bed early. Good night.

Shrewd.

Jiang Luosheng locked the screen, threw his phone on the bedside table, turned off the light and went to sleep.

I can't read it back, and I show my attitude.
