Chapter 24

After talking about their relationship problems all evening, Guan Tang thought he had passed the test. After taking a shower at night, he saw a "goodnight" text from Mo Chengchuan and hesitated for a while before stuffing his phone under the pillow and pressing his head down hard.
He hasn't slept well for the past few days, and the loud snoring of Guan Shaoyang at night makes it even harder for him to fall asleep. Luckily, Guan Shaoyang is getting old and wakes up early in the morning, so he only sleeps after he wakes up. After only two or three hours of sleep, the alarm clock rings, and he has to take Guan Shaoyang for a physical examination today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her eyes, before she could feel the beauty of the new day, she saw a suit jacket draped over the chair. It looked quite high-end, but it was all wrinkled. Tang Guan's blurry mind immediately woke up.
——谁把这件衣服翻出来了？！
他赶紧翻下床去，准备把衣服塞进柜子里，还没来得及找地方，关邵阳推门进来了：“醒了？”
Guantang stood still and exclaimed, "Ah."
"Whose clothes are these? Obviously not yours," casually remarked Guan Shaoyang as he walked past him, turned off the air conditioner in the bedroom and then turned back to look at him. "Is it that one? Ah?"
Guantang swallowed his saliva, suspecting that he was not yet fully awake.
"Did you not return it to them?"
"...I bought a new one for them."
Guanshaoyang nodded, then asked, "What about this one, why was it just stuffed in the closet like this? It's all flattened."
"Just...stuffed it randomly."
Guang Shaoyang turned to Guan Tang with a satisfied and proud smile: "It's already so wrinkled, I can't bear to throw it away?"
Guang Tang: "..."
He let out a reluctant snort through his nose, seeming too lazy to argue with Guan Shaoyang's nonsense.
Aunt Yang poked her head in from outside and said, "Guankang, wake up and wash up for dinner. Old Guan, come help, Lao Lu is as clumsy as anything."
"Ah."
Guankang finally let out a sigh of relief.
Outdoors, Auntie Yang took Shaoyang into the kitchen while Lao Lu was squatting on the ground picking vegetables. He didn't understand what they were up to when they came in all sneaky-like, so he just looked up innocently. Auntie Yang kicked him and said, "Mind your own business!"
She took out her phone with an uncontrollable excitement and said, "Zhiming replied to me, look!"
After Guan Shaoyang discovered the clothes, he consulted with Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang said that Lu Zhiming was more knowledgeable about these things, so she sent him a photo. Lu Zhiming probably just got up and responded now.
He talked a lot, but all Guan Shaoyang saw was the price, couldn't help but curse: "What a spendthrift!" These expensive clothes, if you want to buy new ones, you just buy new ones, but the key is that he bought these expensive clothes and still hasn't won over the person.
As soon as Guan Tang breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Shaoyang rushed in anxiously and asked, "Where are the clothes?"
Guan Tang was puzzled and gave him the clothes.
"I think they're still usable after washing." Guan Shaoyang took the clothes and shook them open to inspect them. In fact, he had already examined the clothes thoroughly earlier, but now he was just showing off in front of Guan Tang.
Guo Tang said, "It can't be washed. This clothes can't be washed at all."
Guo Shaoyang glared at him and said, "How do you know it can't be washed if you don't even try!"
"Anyway, I'm not washing it," Guo Tang quickly refused.
Guang Shaoyang didn't bother with him and simply took the clothes out.
"Dad!" Guan Tang stood still, scratching his head and sighed, then followed after him. "Can we drop them off at the dry cleaners later?"
Guo Shaoyang mumbled, "I have to dry clean it... yes, I have to dry clean it."
After finally getting past the incident, Lu Zhiming messaged Guan Tang. It was only afterwards that he realized something wasn't right and rushed to remind Guan Tang about it.
Guantang took a glance at the screenshot he sent and replied, "You know a lot."
"Yes, but I can't afford it." Lu Zhiming self-deprecatingly joked and asked him, "Did you keep the clothes of some wild man at home? It was even seen by Brother Guan."
Guantang sent a string of ellipses and suddenly thought of what Lu Zhiming said yesterday about Mo Chengchuan wanting to target him. She couldn't help but feel a bit playful and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Lu Zhiming was originally just asking a question, but now he was stunned by this sentence: "… Do I know you?"
Guan Tang: "Smiling.jpg"
Lu Zhiming: "I may be too clever."
Lu Zhi Ming: "Let me calm down."
Lu Zhi Ming: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Guan Tang: "Where did you go wrong?"
Lu Zhi Ming: "I underestimated the moral level of our leaders."
Luzhiming: "Wait, Oh my god! So Mo Zong came back with me yesterday because he thought I was with you!!!!"
Luzhiming's typing hands trembled slightly: "I am doomed!"
Guantang: "What the heck, we haven't even become a couple yet."
Luzhi Xing, who has a tenth-level understanding, grasped the key point accurately again: "Yet? Not yet? You mean you are about to be? Please, hurry up and become a couple, you might save my life with a little bit of help."
"You are wrong to let the wolf into the house! And you attempt to betray the organization! Save yourself!" Guan Tang decisively closed the chat interface.
Perhaps fearing that what you fear will come, Lu Zhiming went to work early in the morning and greeted the receptionist Fang Zemu on the front desk. He then ran into Mo Chengchuan in the elevator again: "Mo Mo Mo Mo General..."
Mò Chéngchuān glanced at him coldly without saying a word. The person next to him spoke in a faint voice: "Your appearance actually managed to make such a big person stutter in fear."
This person was originally standing inside, but was blocked by Mo Chengchuan for a large part. Lu Zhi Ming looked in the direction of the voice and his brain went blank: "Fang Fang Fang Fang..." He not only started stuttering, but even his voice was trembling.
Fang Zhexin took a look at him and realized, "Ah..."
Before Lu Zhiming finished speaking, he saw that Fang Zhexin had not said what he meant, and immediately retorted, "I'm not stuttering." Then his face turned red all of a sudden.
During his college years, Fang Zexin was already very famous at school for winning various prestigious awards and was a legendary figure. Later, when he pursued his master's degree, he competed with many elites and finally had the opportunity to work under the supervision of Fang Zexin, his former mentor. From then on, Lu Zhiming started his academic career, with Fang Zexin's name being mentioned daily by his mentor, who was very proud of him. He even went so far as to train Lu Zhiming to become Fang Zexin's number one fan.
For the number one fan, the first official meeting with the idol was mistaken by the idol as stuttering, which was really a tragic opening.
Fang Zhexin had never seen such a fragile man, he stuttered when he saw his superior, blushing after speaking a single sentence. Seeing his appearance, he always felt like he was about to cry. A tall man of 1.88 meters, looking like this, was really pitiful. So, Fang Zhexin rarelt felt a little bit of sympathy and asked, "Which floor are you going to?"
Lande kept humming like a mosquito: "9th floor."
"The research and development center?" Fang Zexin reached out to help press the floor button, feeling that her comfort was already sufficient.
It was only then that Mo Chengchuan finally spoke: "The person you brought in yourself, don't you remember?"
Luzuoming's emotional value, which had bottomed out, suddenly showed a tendency to rebound: What? Did the senior brother recruit me in?
His face was still red, but his eyes were shining.
Fang's heart was calm: "Is that so?"
He didn't really care about this, but Mo Chengchuan continued, "He's from the same school as you, so he could be considered your junior."
At this, Fang Zexin finally glanced at Lu Zhiming again and vaguely remembered, "Oh..."
Liu Zhiming's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and dared not look up, his heart pounding.
Mo Chengchuan looked at him without a change in expression and said, "Come to my office with me first when the time comes."
Lu Zhiming's face turned from red to white, he stole a glance at his male god, gathered a little courage, and asked in a low voice, "I-Is there something?"
Meng Chengchuan: "Hmm."
Lu Zhiming: ?
The 9th floor arrived, Fang Zhexin walked out, Lu Zhiming's body moved along, Mo Chengchuan glanced at him, Lu Zhiming shrank, feeling that he was really too difficult.
Land Zhi Ming entered the elevator, and Fang Ze Mu kept poking his head out to look. After a few minutes, Fang Ze Mu came up with an excuse and ran to the 9th floor to ask someone, "Where's Land Zhi Ming?"
"He hasn't come yet."
She was about to ask again when a voice behind her said, "Mochenguan called for you."
Her eyes lit up at first, then she realized that the voice was familiar, but she had already turned around and was caught by her brother, "What are you doing here?"
As Fang Ze Xin walked to Fang Ze Mu's side, Fang Ze Mu opened his mouth to explain, but Fang Ze Xin didn't listen at all and just dragged the person to Tong Lin's office.
Fang Ze Mu seemed to see a savior and yelled, "Brother Tong Lin!"
Tong Lin stood up with a look of confusion: "What's going on?"
Fang Zemu let go and immediately ran to Tong Lin's side.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?"
"She said she wanted to go to the front desk, so I..." Tong Lin looked a little embarrassed under Fang Zemu's gaze, "There's no suitable position for her in the company."
方则暮喊道：“就是，你凶什么凶！我往前台一坐，你这破公司的档次都提高了好吗？”
方则心根本不理会方则暮，只是看着佟临，佟临不敢跟他对视，用眼神示意方则暮赶紧闭嘴。
“Fang, be careful with your pocket money in the evening.”
Fang was not afraid at all: "I'll ask Tong Lin for it."
Fang nodded and said, "Then go ask him for it." After speaking, she walked away.
佟临简直被这兄妹两搞得身心俱疲，问方则暮：“你又怎么惹着他了？”
“鬼知道，神经病一样。”方则暮扯着佟临，神色间透露出兴奋来，“我有一个大秘密要跟你说。”
Tong Lin looked at her with a smile, "What big secret?"
"Mo Chengchuan has a crush on someone."
Tong Lin nodded, he knew that online writer, "And then?"
“是我们公司的！”方则暮凑近了说：“我怀疑莫呈川想潜他，现在他就在莫呈川办公室里呢。”
佟临不相信：“不可能。”
"Really, that person is from out of town and has been staying at a friend's house. Originally, the company didn't have dormitories, but the HR department said they received a 'directive from higher-ups' and managed to get him a single room. Yesterday, when he got the key, Mo Chengchuan insisted on escorting him there and even took him back home. I don't know what he did, but when people saw him today, they were scared and stuttering!"
As Fang Ze approached, Tong Lin had to move to the side. She naturally followed: "I just went to inquire, and my brother said he was called to the office by Mo Chengchuan! - Sigh, he even got me caught and brought over by him."
"You know, why did Mo Chengchuan ask a new technical staff from the company to come to the office!" She emphasized: "Mo Chengchuan likes men, and that person is tall! Handsome! And cute!"
Tong finally cast his gaze on Fang Zemu, asking cautiously, "Is it the type you like again?"
Fang Zemu, not understanding, thought about it and nodded hard.
Tong Lin was speechless, not understanding why Fang Zemuo was so unreasonable, always trying to compete with Mo Chengchuan for a man.
