xie chengze actually rarely dyes his hair.
as the leader of the xie family, itâs better for him to appear mature and stable than to appear young.
however, he occasionally dye his own hair so he has some hair dye at home.
now seeing the look in lu yanzhouâs eyes, xie chengze decided to dye his hair every day from today on.
âbrother xie, you are so handsome.â lu yanzhou praised.
âiâm already old, how can i compare with you young peopleâ¦â
âbrother xie, donât always say you are old. you are obviously very young, only in your thirties.â said lu yanzhou.
when xie chengze heard this, he smiled bitterly to himself.
he is indeed not that old. the successful people he usually interacts with are still working hard in their forties.
however, he was in poor health and his life had entered his twilight years.
âbrother xie, i made breakfast, come and have some.â lu yanzhou greeted xie chengze.
âwhy not let the nanny do it?â xie chengze asked.
âi want to make something for you to eat.â lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze intently.
the nanny also said: âmr. xie, mr. lu is very good at cooking. he gets up early in the morning just to cook for you.â
xie chengze sat down at the dining table happily and noticed that he liked the breakfast on the table.
he tasted it and found that the breakfast also tasted very good, even far better than the nanny, who he hired to cook.
he didnât expect lu yanzhou to have such skills!
âxiao lu, you are very good at cooking. did you often cook before?â xie chengze asked.
âyes.â said lu yanzhou. his skill was developed little by little in his long life.
xie chengzeâs tastes are slightly different in each world, but he believes that the food he makes will definitely suit xie chengzeâs appetite.
xie chengze praised a few more words, feeling a little sorry for lu yanzhou.
lu yanzhou cooks food so well, he must have cooked it often before.
is it because he has no parents and is an orphan?
if lu yanzhou had parents, how could he not have money to go to college? if lu yanzhou had parents, why would he need to live under someone elseâs roof? if lu yanzhou had parents, how could he be proficient in cooking?
âbrother xie, thatâs great if you like the food i cooked! brother xie, i prepared lunch for you. do you want to take it to the company to eat?â lu yanzhou asked, making an embarrassed look again: âmy cooking is average. if brother xie has already ordered a meal, forget it.â
xie chengze did order a meal, but he smiled gently: âi didnât order any meal, i usually just eat a casual meal at noon. it would be great if i could bring a meal.â
lu yanzhou smiled and said, âbrother xie, i will do it for you every day from now on.â
âwill it trouble you?â
âno trouble,â lu yanzhou said.
the nanny listened to their conversation silently. mr. xie always had lunch specially prepared for him at a high-end restaurant. she had told lu yanzhou about this before when lu yanzhou was cooking.
as a result, both of them now pretended not to know about itâ¦
lu yanzhou and xie chengze went to the company together.
xie chengze went to the top floor, while he went to his department and officially joined the company, working with the project manager.
an employee like him who comes to the company unexpectedly can easily be squeezed out by his colleagues, but if he has real skills, thatâs another matter.
after lu yanzhou had been busy all morning, helping his colleagues finish the work that their colleagues had been unable to finish after working overtime for several days, the group of men with thinning hair looked at him with admiration in their eyes, which made his skin crawl.
ignoring these people, lu yanzhou took out his portion of the box lunch and started eating, harassing xie chengze with his mobile phone while eating.
âbrother lu, you brought a lunch box, iâm so envious.â someone couldnât help but say.
âbringing a lunch box makes people envious?â lu yanzhou really didnât know about this.
âif you cook this meal, it means that you go to bed early and get up early, live a healthy life, and have a good accommodation environment. if someone else cooks this meal for you, it means that you have a partner who loves you very much. there are still many single dogs here.â the man sighed.
âi see.â
âbrother lu, so did you do it yourself, or did someone else do it for you?â
lu yanzhou said vaguely, âi donât live alone.â
âwe knew that with brother lu appearance and talent, you will definitely have a girlfriend.â everyone looked at the sumptuous and tempting lunch that lu yanzhou had just heated, and envious drools flowed from the corners of their mouths.
they all now feel that lu yanzhou is a boss that was poached by the higher ups, so they all treat lu yanzhou with respect. even if they are older than lu yanzhou, they all call him âbrother luâ sincerely.
lu yanzhou said: âthatâs really not true. i have never had a girlfriend, the one in my family is a male.â
everyone was shocked, but lu yanzhouâs sexual orientation had nothing to do with them, so they all quickly accepted it, then said: âa boss is indeed a boss, he is different.â
lu yanzhou smiled and continued to send messages to xie chengze.
he wonât disturb xie chengze during working hours, but during rest timeâ¦he will take up all of xie chengzeâs time.
âbrother lu, are you texting your boyfriend?â
âyes, i didnât have time to talk to him in the morning, so iâm making up for it now,â said lu yanzhou.
although his sexual orientation is different, everyone still envies lu yanzhou.
lu yanzhouâs boyfriend should be a cute little guy who is good at cooking and clingy, right?
xie chengze was also having lunch at this time.
he has never had a good appetite and has never eaten on time, but today lu yanzhou specially prepared lunch for him, so he must finish it.
he can talk with lu yanzhou while eating, which makes it even more satisfactory!
xie chengze vaguely felt that lu yanzhou had a crush on him, and some of lu yanzhouâs actions seemed like he is courting him.
but he wasnât sure.
he chatted with lu yanzhou all afternoon and made an appointment to go back together after getting off workâ¦xie chengze asked his assistant to talk to manager zhang and asked him to stop asking his subordinate to work overtime.
he remembers that the software development department was always working overtime.
when assistant told manager zhang about this, manager zhang turned around and said to his subordinates: âlu yanzhou was specially invited by mr. xie to save us from working overtime. everyone is not allowed to work overtime today. go back early!â
no need to work overtime? this is really great!
they looked at lu yanzhou emotionally, almost in tears.
after the work was done, lu yanzhou secretly sent a message to xie chengze: ââ¦â please donât look at him like that!
dinner was cooked by the nanny. after eating, lu yanzhou went for a walk with xie chengze and chatted a lot about the company.
lu yanzhou had managed the company and made some suggestions by the way, which surprised xie chengze â lu yanzhou knew more than he thought.
this is a very talented young man with really good vision.
in the following days, lu yanzhou cooked for xie chengze every day, cared about all aspects of xie chengzeâs life, flirted with xie chengze from time to time, and seriously implemented his courting plan.
on the other side, jiang mi and tan shaojun quarreled again.
a few days ago, tan shaojun revealed in front of jiang mi that lu yanzhou liked jiang mi.
at that time, jiang mi swore that he regarded lu yanzhou as his brother and asked lu yanzhou to leave. however, when lu yanzhou left, he was in a daze. tan shaojun was jealous because of this, so he said that jiang mi was raising a spare tire by hanging lu yanzhou.
jiang mi felt that tan shaojun had wronged him, so the two had a quarrel.
whenever jiang mi encountered difficulties in the past, he would go to lu yanzhou to talk, but in this situation, he couldnât go to lu yanzhou so had to endure it.
he felt that lu yanzhou would definitely take the initiative to find him, but lu yanzhou never contacted himâ¦jiang mi couldnât control it anymore. today, he took a taxi to the place where lu yanzhou rented.
he always forgets to bring his keys. to make it easier for him, lu yanzhou specially changed the fingerprint lock on the rental house to his.
after arriving at the place, jiang mi wanted to open the door and go in, but he couldnât get in after trying his fingerprint and password.
lu yanzhou is angry? he deleted his fingerprint information?
or is the lock broken?
jiang mi was a little panicked and could only send a message to lu yanzhou: âbrother lu, i came back to get my clothes, but the door canât be openedâ¦â
jiang mi came to lu yanzhou this time using the excuse of âgetting his clothes.â
lu yanzhou has rented this house for many years. when he was in college, he would live here during the holidays. most of his clothes and other things were stored here. he didnât have many things in the place where he and tan shaojun lived together.
after the message was sent, jiang mi saw a red exclamation mark.
lu yanzhou blocked him?
jiang mi was really panicking now.
when he called lu yanzhou, he couldnât get through. he asked to borrow someoneâs mobile phone to call lu yanzhou, but it also showed that it wasnât getting throughâ¦jiang mi had no choice but to wait at the door.
he regarded lu yanzhou as his brother, but lu yanzhou actually had such feelings for himâ¦he had been very unhappy in the past few days, waiting for lu yanzhou to apologize to him.
this time he came to lu yanzhou with the excuse to get some clothes and give lu yanzhou a chance to step down.
as a result, lu yanzhou blocked him and he couldnât even contact lu yanzhou.
the more jiang mi waited, the more terrified he became. after waiting for some time, he saw a stranger open the door and enter the house, he went up and asked, âwho are you? how could you open the door?â
the man who had just rented the house looked confused.
jiang mi entangling the new tenant. it was only after getting a call from the landlord did he find out that lu yanzhou had quit the lease and moved out several days ago.
âhe moved away? what about my things? where are the things i put here?!â jiang mi was dumbfounded.
the tan family had always disagreed with the matter between him and tan shaojun, so the two had broken up and gotten back together several times. in order to show that he loved tan shaojun as a person and not tan shaojunâs money, he was determined not to let tan shaojun spend money on him.
the season is about to change now, but the clothes he has at tan shaojunâs place are only for this season. if the clothes he left at lu yanzhouâs place are gone, what will he wear next season?
âi remember that before xiao lu left, he threw away a lot of things.â the landlord said. at that time, lu yanzhou threw away a lot of clothes and shoes in large and small bags. there was an old lady in their community who went to sort through them.
jiang mi: ââ¦â his clothes and shoes were all thrown away by lu yanzhou?
is lu yanzhou so heartless?
this is impossible!
jiang mi went downstairs in despair, and then saw an old man in the community wearing a very familiar sportswear.
that set of sportswear was from a niche fashion brand. it looked fashionable. it was definitely not something that an old man would buy, but he had bought it.
the old man is wearing his clothes!
jiang mi was disgusted and felt very wronged. after going home and holding it in for a few days, he finally couldnât bear it anymore and called everywhere to inquire about lu yanzhou.
jiang mi was looking for him, lu yanzhou found out about it from the original ownerâs friends.
lu yanzhou blocked jiang mi and changed his mobile phone number just to be on the safe side. however, his new mobile phone number was only shared with the original ownerâs few close friends.
between the original owner and jiang mi, they would definitely choose the original owner.
the person who told lu yanzhou about jiang mi was a friend of lu yanzhou and jiang mi who had known each other in the orphanage. his name was zhou hongxing: âlu yanzhou, since you are sober, please stop talking to jiang mi. he is not worth your love.â
lu yanzhou said: âi wonât talk to him anymore, and donât talk nonsense. i donât like him.â
âlu yanzhou, are you still so stubborn now? if you donât like him, will you raise him as a young master?â zhou hongxing didnât believe lu yanzhouâs words.
lu yanzhou said: âi really donât like him.â
the original owner never told anyone that he liked jiang mi. he was afraid that it would bring trouble to jiang mi, and that jiang mi would be unhappy if he found out â he tested jiang mi before and jiang mi kept treating him as his brother.
because of this, no one knew that the original owner liked jiang mi at first. for a straight man like zhou hongxing, he just felt that the original owner was a little too kind to jiang mi.
but when jiang mi and tan shaojun got together, he guessed that the original owner liked jiang mi.
after guessing, he felt that jiang mi wasnât worth the original ownerâs love.
the original owner had helped jiang mi so much, the original owner even provided for jiang mi to go to college. however, as soon as he graduated, jiang mi climbed onto a high branch and left. this seemed a bit cruel to them.
lu yanzhou also felt that jiang mi was cruel. the original ownerâs love for jiang mi was obvious. if jiang mi didnât like men, he might not have noticed, but jiang mi liked men.
how could he not discover it!
whatâs more, although the original owner didnât confess, he actually tested jiang miâ¦
jiang mi made it clear that he was using the original owner as a spare tire.
since he was just using the original owner as a spare tire, jiang mi still spent so much money from the original owner and didnât even think about paying it back.
zhou hongxing only knew that the original owner spent money on jiang mi, but did not know how much the original owner spent, but lu yanzhou knew it very well.
just jiang miâs spendingâ¦has surpassed that of some rich second-generation people!
but now, lu yanzhou decided to deny the matter: âold zhou, my feelings for jiang mi are not love.â
âwhat? do you really regard him as a younger brother? which brother is so good to his younger brother?â zhou hongxing didnât believe it.
lu yanzhou said: âi actuallyâ¦regard him as my son.â
zhou hongxing: ââ¦â what did lu yanzhou say? did he hear it correctly?!
lu yanzhou said again: âold zhou, i am also very capable. if i really like him, how could i not do anything for so many years? i really donât like him, i was just raising him like a son!â
âa son who is two years younger than you?â
âi am mentally older, canât i?â
âlu yanzhou, do you still lack a son? one who has gone to college and can cook?â thereâs only âfuckâ on zhou hongxing mind right now.
ânot lacking! i had raised a white-eyed wolf, i will never raise another child again!â
âlu yanzhou, is what you said real or fake? i wonât laugh at you, you donât need to lie to meâ¦â
âitâs absolutely true! old zhou, i really raised him as my son, and i already have someone i like. donât talk nonsense in the future. if the person i like is jealous, i will not be able to bear it!â lu yanzhou said.
âyou really have someone you like? who?â
lu yanzhou sent the secretly taken photo of xie chengze: âthatâs him. i havenât caught him yet, but i should soon!â
âthis man is very handsome! he looks quite old, over thirty, right? he is completely different from jiang miâ¦do you really like him?â zhou hongxing was a little surprised when he saw xie chengzeâs photo.
jiang mi has a baby face, looks innocent and not aggressive.
but the person in the photo in front of him looks very mature and stable, with a very handsome appearance. although his eyes are gentle, he always gives people a feeling that he is not easy to deal with.
âof course i do. i have always liked mature people. as i said, i am mentally older.â said lu yanzhou.
he planned to brainwash the people around the original owner and make them believe that he didnât like jiang mi.
like this, even if xie chengze finds out about him and jiang mi in the future, he can still quibbleâ¦well, explain.
zhou hongxing was in a trance. after thinking about it, he couldnât help but ask: âlu yanzhou, do you really not lack a son?â
âget lost!â
zhou hongxing sighed, very regretful.
lu yanzhou was a very generous person. he had lent him money before when he was short of money.
but what about jiang mi? he didnât know much about the affairs between lu yanzhou and jiang mi, but jiang miâs circle of friends ate, drank and had fun all day long. could lu yanzhou have spent hundreds of thousands on jiang mi?
he is also an orphan and really wants to have a father like this!
however, lu yanzhou doesnât like jiang mi, which is a great joy! zhou hongxing immediately told his and lu yanzhouâs mutual friends about this matter.
xie company. after lu yanzhou finished chatting with zhou hongxing, he saw someone next to him, waiting for him with a smile on his side.
âdid you encounter a problem?â ask lu yanzhou.
âyes, we encountered a problem.â the man immediately said.
âlet me take a look.â lu yanzhou immediately looked to help solve the problem.
he has been living quite comfortably in xie company recently.
as a well-connected person with skills, no one cares about whatever he wants to do.
he even learned some ways to make extra money after getting to know people in the company.
it wonât be long before he can pay off the debt owed by the original owner, but next, he still needs a lot of money to save up merit and treat xie chengze.
lu yanzhou plans to engage in artificial intelligence.
he has done a lot of research on various robots in the previous world, so he knows a lot about artificial intelligence.
he remembered that in the original ownerâs memory, there was a company that had mastered many new technologies. when xie company was attacked by the tan, they bought shares from xie chengze at a high price and acquired some of xieâs subsidiaries, which could be regarded as helping xie company and xie chengze.
the original owner, who was not familiar with company management, was not very clear about the specific situation, but the original owner learned from jiang mi that tan shaojun was very unhappy because he failed to completely annex the xie family.
as for what happens nextâ¦the original owner is dead, so he doesnât know.
that technology company is also a large group, called yaoshi group. they originally produced fiberglass and were on the verge of bankruptcy seven or eight years ago. however, they were acquired by another group. then they made money and began to enter other industries and develop some top technologies.
in the past two years, they have also begun to study artificial intelligence.
lu yanzhou planned to contact them secretly and sell some technology to make money.
he only recently learned that although xie chengze is the leader of the xie family, he does not hold a lot of shares in the xie company.
xie chengze is not short of money, but it is certainly not enough to squander it casually. xie company is still facing a crisisâ¦
he should make money by himself. if he earns enough, he might be able to help xie chengze.
lu yanzhou packed his things in advance before time to clock out, so he was the first to leave after work hours.
everyone looked at him with envy.
a hired boss is really different! they were all embarrassed to be like lu yanzhou, rushing out as soon as work hours were done, fearing that the boss would be unhappy if he saw it.
lu yanzhou is different. he is definitely not afraid of any boss. after all, with his ability, finding a good job is a matter of minutes.
âbrother lu left so fastâ¦â
âhe wants to go home to be with his boyfriend, how could he not be in a hurry.â
âbrother lu is really a winner in life! he has a great harvest in both career and love!â
â¦
lu yanzhou, who was envied by them, went to the underground garage, found xie chengzeâs car and got in.
he and xie chengze are relatively low-key and avoid people when they are in the company.
after waiting in the car for a while, xie chengze came.
during this period, xie chengze dyed his hair every day. he doesnât know if it was because he was watching him, his appetite for the three meals a day is good, his complexion improved a lot, now he looked several years younger.
seeing lu yanzhou in the car, xie chengzeâs lips couldnât help but curl up. he felt happy just seeing lu yanzhou.
âbrother xie, you take longer to come.â said lu yanzhou.
âthere are some unfinished things.â xie chengze said. he used to work overtime from time to time, but recently he got off work on time every day. it was actually not easy.
âbrother xie, you must be tired after working so much.â lu yanzhou adjusted and moved next to xie chengze. âin the future, you can give the work to others and rest more yourself.â
âokay.â xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou and agreed.
he also had this idea. he wanted to spend more time with lu yanzhou.
in the first few days, xie chengze was still unsure, but now more than ten days have passed, xie chengze is sure of one thing â lu yanzhou likes him.
he didnât know whether what lu yanzhou liked was him as a person or his money, but it didnât really matter.
lu yanzhou liked him, he was satisfied.
âbrother xie, you have become more and more handsome recently. i heard people in the company talking about you today. everyone is curious about who will win a diamond king like you in the end.â lu yanzhou said naturally as he took xie chengzeâs hand and rubbed his wrist â xie chengzeâs wrist had been uncomfortable these days.
âwhat do you think?â xie chengze suddenly asked. this is not the first time lu yanzhou has said such ambiguous words and actions.
at first he thought he might have made a mistake, but nowâ¦maybe he wasnât mistaken?
lu yanzhou showed a big smile to xie chengze: âi think i have great hopes.â
xie chengze felt that his heart was hit by lu yanzhouâs smile.
at this moment, he didnât have time to think about many things. he looked at his hand held by lu yanzhou and said, âdidnât you already hold me?â
lu yanzhouâs smile became even brighter. he took xie chengzeâs hand and kissed it: âaze, you are so cute!â
xie chengze: ââ¦â aze? this guy doesnât even call brother anymore?
