TCBHIWAF Chapter 4
by VolareAfter a long while, Lin Yu sat at his desk with a normal expression, throwing himself wholeheartedly into the company’s affairs.
He was busy every day, like a tireless working machine.
After work, he would go to the hospital to see his father.
Lin Qingfeng, after waking up, learned that the company had received investment and was in a great mood, his condition gradually improving.
When his physical condition allowed, Lin Qingfeng also returned to the company to work.
One day, the father and son were chatting in the office.
Lin Qingfeng looked at Lin Yu with gratification, “Son, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
“Dad, as long as the company can get better, this is nothing.” Lin Yu responded with a smile.
Lin Qingfeng continued, “Next, as long as we win the deal to cooperate with Ye Corporation, the company will be able to return to its original state.”
Lin Qingfeng knew that his son Lin Yu and Ye Xingchen were best friends, so he said, “This deal for cooperation with Ye Corporation will be handled by you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s face showed embarrassment, but seeing his father’s expectant eyes and fearing that he would stimulate his father’s condition, he could only bite the bullet and agree.
After coming out of the office, Lin Yu was full of worry.
He had just broken up with Ye Xingchen, and now he had to go to him to talk about cooperation. What should he do?
Lin Yu paced back and forth in his office, his brow furrowed, racking his brains for a solution.
Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of resolution, no matter what, he had to try for Lin Corporation.
Lin Yu got into the elevator and went straight to the parking lot on the first floor of the underground, got into his car.
He sat in the driver’s seat for a long time, struggling inwardly, and finally started the car and drove towards Ye Corporation.
After arriving at Ye Corporation, he hesitated to enter the company building, just sitting in the car, his expression tangled.
*
Secretary Zhang gently knocked on the door of the CEO Office, and Ye Xingchen’s clear and cold voice came out: “Enter.”
Secretary Zhang cautiously walked into the office and said, “Ye Total, this is the cooperation plan for this project. Several companies want to cooperate with us.” While saying this, she handed over the plan.
Ye Xingchen took the plan and quickly glanced through it, raising his eyes and asking, “Secretary Zhang, is Lin Corporation also participating in this bidding?”
Secretary Zhang quickly replied: “Yes, Ye Total.”
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and said, “You can go down first.”
After Secretary Zhang left, Ye Xingchen walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes deep, muttering to himself: “Yu, will you come to me?”
As long as he comes, then I’ll forgive him.
And Lin Yu in the car, finally opened the car door and got out, walking straight into Ye Corporation.
When the staff saw him, their eyes lit up instantly, and they said in surprise, “Lin Total, you’re here!” Their enthusiastic appearance was as if they had seen an old friend they hadn’t seen for a long time.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded politely, saying gently, “Yes!”
The staff was overwhelmed with favor and quickly led him towards the front desk on the first floor.
When the front desk staff saw Lin Yu, a bright smile bloomed on their faces, and they said excitedly, “Lin Total, welcome!”
Lin Yu still responded with a smile: “Thank you.”
The front desk hurriedly said, “Lin Total, please come this way.”
Lin Yu gave a faint “hmm” sound.
The front desk staff, with excitement in their hearts, pressed the button for the CEO’s exclusive elevator for him. The elevator door opened, and Lin Yu walked straight in.
As soon as the elevator door closed, the front desk couldn’t help but sigh!
“Wow, Lin Total is so handsome, and so gentle and polite, his girlfriend must be very happy.”
Another front desk said unhappily: “Hey, stop daydreaming, he’s not someone we ordinary people can match.”
“Can’t I even think about it? Lin Total! Gentle, rich, and polite, without any airs at all, and most importantly, clean and self-disciplined, with zero scandals…”
“If I could be his girlfriend, I would definitely die of happiness.”
“Stop it, stop being a fangirl!”
At this time, Lin Yu in the elevator took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous mood.
As the elevator rose, his heartbeat became faster and faster.
He had come to see Ye Xingchen so many times before, but after that night, he always felt that as long as he thought of Ye Xingchen now, his heart would be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, feeling suffocated.
The former ease and familiarity had now been replaced by embarrassment and entanglement.
He didn’t know how to face Ye Xingchen, and he didn’t know how to face the complex and chaotic emotions in his heart.
Most importantly, what he hated was actually himself.
Although on the surface, he showed extreme resistance and disgust for Ye Xingchen’s feelings, in the depths of his heart, he was not repulsed at all, and even had a faint, different kind of affection.
He couldn’t understand and couldn’t accept this kind of self.
How could this be?
How could he have this complex and subtle emotion towards someone of the same sex?
He kept questioning himself in his heart, but he could never find an answer.
“Ding~” The sound of the elevator arriving interrupted Lin Yu’s chaotic thoughts.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, preparing to face Ye Xingchen.
When the employees saw that it was him, they shouted in unison, “Hello, Lin Total!”
Lin Yu nodded slightly in response!
And when Secretary Zhang saw him, she said directly, “Ye Total is in the office!”
Without even asking for instructions, Secretary Zhang directly led him to the door of the office and immediately retreated.
And Lin Yu wanted to push the door in directly as he used to, after all, they had such a good relationship before.
But today, his raised hand froze just as it was about to touch the door. His heart was full of entanglement, wanting to enter but also afraid to face, his feet seemed to be heavily dragged by lead weights, hesitating.
Finally, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
At this moment, a cold and distant voice came from inside the door.
“Enter.”
Lin Yu’s body trembled slightly, and for some reason, he just couldn’t take a step.
The voice came again from inside: “Enter.”
This time, Lin Yu took a deep breath, grabbed the door handle, and gently pushed the door open.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen was impatiently looking towards the door, still complaining in his heart that the secretary’s ears weren’t working well, why hadn’t she come in for so long.
But when he saw that the person who came was Lin Yu, he was stunned, his eyes staring straight at Lin Yu.
After Lin Yu came in, he closed the door behind him.
He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Ye Xingchen leaned back directly in his chair.
“So it’s Young Master Lin, I wonder what brings you here today?”
For some reason, this attitude of his made Lin Yu feel very uncomfortable.
After a moment, Lin Yu suppressed the emotions in his heart and said straight to the point: “You know why I came to you.”
Ye Xingchen sneered, “Oh? I have so many things to do every day, I don’t have the mood to care about your affairs, after all, we have no relationship whatsoever.”
Lin Yu’s face turned pale, and he bit his lip tightly, “Ye Xingchen, do you have to say things so definitively?”
“Even if we are no longer friends, cooperation between companies is beneficial to both of us, do you want to give up such a good opportunity because of personal grudges?”
