Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 64
byChapter 67
Chen Shilu couldn’t listen to Zhou Chuang’s suggestion and asked Bai Shengguang why he didn’t renew the contract in a business-like manner.Once these words are spoken, no matter what the reason is, the cooperative relationship will inevitably not last.
He could only test the situation through personal relationships first to see if there was still room for maneuver.
Therefore, Chen Shilu hated the mixing of official and private matters. He had long wanted to distinguish them clearly, but Bai Shengguang didn’t want to. He was Party A, and Chen Shilu had no choice.
When he got off work, he called Bai Shengguang.
The call was answered quickly. Chen Shilu didn’t mention anything about work. He only said that we hadn’t gotten together for a long time and asked Bai Shengguang if he was free to have a meal together on the weekend.
Bai Shengguang didn’t say whether he wanted to come to Chen Shilu’s dinner. He just said that he was busy and hung up the phone.
This sounded like an excuse, but Chen Shilu still sincerely sent the invitation in writing.
On the way home, he received a reply from Bai Shengguang, asking him: “What to eat?”
Chen Shi replied: “Brother Sheng, do you have anything you want to eat recently?”
“Are you asking me for a treat?”
Chen Shilu thought for a while: “Recently, a new kaiseki restaurant opened on Changfang Street. The environment is very good. Is Brother Sheng interested?”
“Not interested.”
Chen Shilu was speechless.
Immediately, Bai Shengguang’s message was sent again: “Am I missing something from you? Xiaolu, we haven’t contacted you for so long, are you too insincere?”
Chen Shilu’s heart sank and he was very unhappy.But now he knew that Qisheng’s non-renewal of the contract had nothing to do with the quality of their company’s business. It was purely Bai Shengguang’s personal dissatisfaction with him.
Chen Shilu had never had a good impression of people who did not distinguish between public and private matters.At this time, he really wanted to ignore Bai Shengguang. He could accept the damage to his business, whether it was a salary cut or a transfer.But the matter is not only about him, but also about his colleagues.
He patiently said: “Then I will think about it carefully and rearrange it to ensure that Brother Sheng is satisfied.”
“You should think about it carefully.”
Bai Shengguang finally replied like this. Chen Shilu had already cursed, but only to the air.He controlled his emotions. He still wanted to continue this business and couldn’t break his face.
At this moment, Chen Shilu finally knew what “the gift of destiny has already been secretly marked with a price.”
He was less than thirty when he met Bai Shengguang. He had known that this man was a big boss and had no intention of having any other contact with him at first.But in the end, he still couldn’t resist the temptation of “promotion and salary increase” and Bai Shengguang’s attitude of not asking for anything in return. With that support, his career reached a higher level.
But what followed was that he was riding a tiger with difficulty, and was entangled along the way. Bai Shengguang would use this to tease him from time to time.
Only then did Chen Shilu realize that it was not a suggestion at all, but simply the gap in social experience at that time, which caused him to suffer from the old man’s treatment.Later, Bai Shengguang thought the rope was not tight enough and tried every means to lure him to Qisheng with a high salary.He has already fallen into the pit once, and he will never fall into it a second time.
When he got home, Chi Huang obviously saw that he looked bad and asked him what was wrong.
“It’s nothing, I encountered some problems at work.”
Chi Huang leaned close to him, with an expression as if he was trying to explain something: “What’s the problem? Let’s talk about it and see if I can help you?”
His serious look would be quite bluffing, if Chen Shilu hadn’t really known what he was worth and knew that Chi Huang was completely useless at work.
I couldn’t bear to brush off his good intentions. His face that was full of energy and wanting to help was so pretty. Chen Shilu cut out the verbose words and simply said that he had encountered a difficult customer.As expected, Chi Huang opened his mind and came up with a bunch of bad ideas that had no results. Chen Shilu nodded in agreement with him and praised “Baby is so smart.”
After one pass, there were no useful tricks, but Chen Shilu’s mood actually improved.
Chi Huang initially pushed him to sit down, and as he spoke, he fell on Chen Shilu’s lap. He looked up at him, touched his ears and nose, and adjusted his cuff tie: “Chen Shilu, I know you are very ambitious, but if you are so unhappy at work…”
Chen Shilu pressed Chi Huang’s mouth in time: “Baby, don’t make me angry when I really like you.”
“…Okay, I won’t say anything anymore.” Chi Huang pursed his lips.
Chen Shilu also wondered why there were so many people who wanted to control him. Bai Shengguang and Chi Huang were really similar in some aspects, one was Lao Deng and the other was Xiao Deng.
Chi Huang got up from his lap: “Let’s eat, I developed two new dishes today.”
Chen Shilu chewed hard the beef brisket that Chihuang had not braised over enough heat, and gave him good recognition for his passion for cooking and his repeated creation of new dishes.
It’s just that Chi Huang felt a little uncomfortable chewing it himself: “Don’t you think this beef can’t be chewed thoroughly?”
“I thought you had good teeth, so you made it so chewy on purpose.” Chen Shilu swallowed, “But it’s quite delicious. Please help me serve a bowl of rice.”
Chi Huang happily went to serve Chen Shilu a meal.
“There is a new Kaiseki restaurant on Changfang Street, shall we go to eat on the weekend?” Regardless of Bai Shengguang or Chi Huang, he must eat this Kaiseki restaurant.
“I would like to, but I have work and a business trip on the weekend, and I have to leave on Friday.” Chi Huang said with resentment, “There is a lot of work ahead. There will be a road race next spring, and Lao Jiang has arranged a lot of training for me. I am very busy.”
“What job?”
“It’s some kind of reality show. The new agent contacted me and said that I would record one episode first to see the effect. If it goes well, I will be busy from now on.”
“That’s good. It seems that you are on the right track during this period of time.”
“What’s the use? I can’t eat kaiseki.”
“I’ll treat you to food when I come back.” Hearing Chi Huang’s progress, Chen Shilu was also happy for him, “When will you come back?”
“Next Tuesday or Wednesday, not sure yet.”
Chen Shilu nodded: “The gift I bought for you should have arrived by then.”
Chi Huang’s eyes lit up: “You bought me a gift? What is it?”
Chen Shilu deliberately made a mistake: “You will know when the time comes.”
“I want to know now, otherwise I would keep thinking about it during the business trip.”
Chen Shilu blinked at him: “Isn’t it just to keep you thinking about it?”
Chi Huang understood, and his appetite was whetted.Chen Shilu is good most of the time, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be “bad”. Once in a while, Chi Huang becomes a little dizzy.
After dinner, he brought out an exquisite small box and said to Chen Shilu, “This is for you.”
Chen Shilu opened it and found two diamond cufflinks inside. They were worth a lot at first glance. He closed the box and said, “How much money do you make, giving me these things every day?”
“Don’t worry about it, just see if you like it.”
“I must like it very much. I have already thought about which clothes to match it with, but…”
Not listening to him, Chi Huang urged him: “Go and match it and let me see.”
“But aren’t you worried that one day I will like these more than you?” Chen Shilu insisted on finishing the twist. He nodded Chi Huang’s nose, “I am different from you. A materialistic person like me can easily lose myself in material things.”
Chi Huang was stunned.
Seeing how cute and silly he was, Chen Shilu put his arms loosely around Chi Huang’s neck and breathed softly: “In order to maintain the purity of our relationship, please don’t give me any more gifts in the future, do you hear me?”
Chi Huang suddenly laughed. He grabbed Chen Shilu’s waist and brought him to his chest: “It’s not my fault that you keep saying you like me and are so happy, as if you are urging me to give you my heart.”
“Should I say that I don’t like it and still be unhappy after receiving the gift?”
“No, I’m just happy to make you so happy.” Chi Huang hugged him and lifted him up, making Chen Shilu sit on the desk. At the right height, Chi Huang leaned over.
He knew what Chen Shilu told lies, and he was not someone who would lose himself in material things.
If he would get lost, that would be even better. It would give him the motivation to make money. Wouldn’t it be simpler to twist money into a rope and tie Chen Shilu to his body?
Chen Shilu put his finger on Chi Huang’s lips: “Go take a shower first. It’s still early tonight and there is still a lot of time.”
Chi Huang bit his fingertip: “Then let’s go together.”
“I’m going to the other side.”
“No, you can rub each other’s backs while washing together.”
Chen Shilu knew that what he was thinking about was not a back rub, but he gave it a try and said, “I’ve prepared a surprise for you too.”
“What’s the surprise?”
“It won’t be a surprise if you tell me. Be good and go quickly.”
