Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 66

Chapter 69

Chen Shilu received the wagyu beef given by Fu Lei on Saturday morning. It was a big box full, all of A5 quality, and there were two beef tongues. Just looking at it was pleasing to the eye.

If it is cut into several plates, paired with some vegetables and sauces, and grilled over charcoal, Ikeko will definitely like it.It’s a pity that he was on a business trip last night and couldn’t have this bite right away.

There was a lot of meat, and Chen Shilu planned the order of eating it next, refrigerated or frozen it.In the process of packaging, he suddenly thought that if he invited Bai Shengguang to his home to eat wagyu, would he come?

The last time he invited him to dine out, Bai Shengguang refused.His subtext Chen Shilu is also very clear, but Chen Shilu does not intend to renew his relationship with him. The reason is very simple. He promised Chi Huang.

What made him even more disgusted was that Bai Shengguang’s move was almost a threat.Chen Shilu is not a gadget that others can play with. He has his own principles and bottom line. If others are tough, he can be tougher.

But he didn’t want to just give up. This would be irresponsible to his work, his subordinates and himself.He wanted to see if he could retain Bai Shengguang as a client in a business-like manner, persuade him through business interests, and find a balance between the two.

I remember when Bai Shengguang sent him back, he always half-joked that he wanted to come and sit at his place, but Chen Shilu refused every time.I don’t know if it will work if I propose it now.

Just as he was told, he sent Bai Shengguang a photo of the ingredients, sent a message to invite him to his home, and asked if he would give him a favor.

Seeing that he was at home, Bai Shengguang didn’t know what kind of ambiguous signal he had received, and he immediately responded to the message: “You will cook it for me yourself?”

Chen Shilu had a cold face and said with quick fingers: “Home-style cooking, the ingredients are good. If Brother Sheng cares about the taste, I can find a chef.”

“Whatever chef you want, I’ll do it for you.”

“When is it convenient for you?”

“Tomorrow night.”

Sima Zhao really wanted to make an appointment at this time. Chen Shilu refused with a gentle tone but a strong attitude: “Is it okay tomorrow at noon? If we chat too late in the evening, our work status the next day will be affected.”

The other party stopped replying.

Chen Shilu could almost imagine Bai Shengguang’s sullen and unhappy look.It can only be said that some people have been in power for too long. They are used to being favored by others and are accustomed to being the earth emperor in their own small world. It is difficult to accept such “disobedience”.

Chen Shilu didn’t intend to support him blindly. If he didn’t come, forget it. He was just trying to make an appropriate amount of effort for his work.It’s just that when the two had a good relationship before, he didn’t realize that Bai Shengguang had such a serious character flaw.

When it was getting dark, Bai Shengguang replied that he would come on Sunday at noon.

Despite his reluctance, Chen Shilu went out to buy side dishes early on Sunday morning.Chen Shilu hesitated for a long time on what to do to entertain Bai Shengguang, and finally decided to eat sukiyaki.

Cooking has a lot to do with your mood. If you are in an unhappy mood, the food you cook will not taste good. It is better to let the guests do it themselves.After all, everyone’s goal is not this meal. Chen Shilu wants to focus on other places and save energy on eating.

He knew very well what Bai Shengguang’s real dissatisfaction was.

It seemed that she was resentful because of love, so Chen Shilu stopped sleeping with him and made him unable to love her.In fact, no man of his class could sleep with him, and he would never be short of Chen Shilu.And it is precisely a small role like Chen Shilu that is so easy to get, so being rejected is particularly abrupt.

As a “local emperor”, his self-esteem was shattered by a common man. The more he tried to hold on, the more completely his self-esteem was shattered, until he became so angry that his personal feelings became involved in the company’s business.

What Chen Shilu wanted to do was to return the face he had lost in his personal relationship to him in the public realm.As Party B, what Chen Shilu is best at is giving people face.

He temporarily put aside his personal feelings, adopted a professional attitude, and went downstairs in advance to wait for Bai Shengguang. The first time he saw the person, he greeted him with a smile.

Bai Shengguang was indifferent on the phone, but when he saw Chen Shilu, he didn’t show any emotion. He shook hands with him affectionately and asked the driver to bring him two bottles of Lafite 2000 as a souvenir.

The two went upstairs, and Bai Shengguang entered Chen Shilu’s private territory as he wished, and began to look at his home unscrupulously.

Chen Shilu moved the dining table to a well-lit location near the balcony, served the ingredients one after another, and said politely: “We are going to eat sukiyaki today, Brother Sheng will take a bite.”

Bai Shengguang sat down at the table, waiting for Chen Shilu to give him chopsticks and other snacks: “It’s good. It’s just right to have something warm in the cold weather.”

“What do you want to drink? I didn’t know you brought red wine. I prepared plum wine.”

“As guests wish, let’s drink plum wine.”

When Bai Shengguang saw the lush flowers and plants on the balcony and the huge fish tank behind him, he couldn’t help but sigh: “Xiao Lu, you have such a charming life, I never noticed it before.”

“I’m just messing around because I’m bored.” Chen Shilu poured two glasses of plum wine first, then took the glass himself, “Brother Sheng is willing to come to my place. It’s really an honor. I’ll give you a toast first.”

Seeing Chen Shilu finish the meal, Bai Shengguang took a sip and raised his chin at him: “Let’s just forget about these high-sounding opening remarks between us. We haven’t seen each other for a while, but it’s not like we are estranged, right?”

Chen Shilu smiled, said nothing, and began to put food into the pot with serving chopsticks.

Bai Shengguang looked around the house again: “You have so many hobbies, but this place is a bit small. Why don’t you buy a bigger house?”

“Brother Sheng, you are right. I still rent this house.”

“Rent? This house isn’t worth much.”

“Eight figures too.”

“It’s not worth much.”

Chen Shilu smiled bitterly: “Although we sit and eat together, don’t think of me as the same person as you.”

Bai Shengguang asked him back: “Why are you not just like me? You don’t have one nose and two eyes?”

Chen Shilu just smiled and said nothing.

“Do you know what kind of person you should be in my eyes?” Bai Shengguang looked at Chen Shilu with deep eyes, “A man as refined and lovely as you should live in a three-story villa, with the latest sports car in the garage, flowers and grass in the yard, a large dedicated study room, and one floor used as a cloakroom to store clothes and jewelry.”

Chen Shilu responded in a calm tone: “Are there many birds around Brother Sheng? I really made that kind of canary, and you don’t even bother to give me a look.”

“How can you be that kind of idiot who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?” Bai Shengguang sighed, “You are just stupid.”

“It’s not that I’m stupid, I’m self-aware. No matter how smart I am, I’m still not as smart as Brother Sheng. I might as well just eat the bowl of rice in my hand.” He used serving chopsticks to pick up food for Bai Shengguang, and also put some in his own bowl.

Seemingly pleased by his submissive attitude today, or taking this as a sign of submission, Bai Shengguang simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly: “Xiao Lu, let me tell you straight, you still want Qisheng’s contract, or at least restore our previous relationship.”

Chen Shilu looked directly at Bai Shengguang: “Brother Sheng, I’ll tell you directly, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

Hearing what he said, Bai Shengguang threw down his chopsticks: “Is it possible that these are the only pieces of beef you plan to entertain me today?”

“Not only that, but there is also a five percent discount and two years of free technical support.”

Bai Shengguang stared in anger and couldn’t help raising his voice: “Am I short of your three melons and two dates?”

“I know that with Qisheng’s size, I don’t care about this amount of money,” Chen Shilu lowered his gaze, his attitude was so sincere that it was a bit pitiful, “But this is the greatest sincerity I can show, and it is also the most sincerity our company can give. The company gives up all profit margins, and even pays employees’ wages, just to retain Qisheng, in order to gain market share and good books.”

Even if he was angry, Bai Shengguang couldn’t get angry after hearing these words. He just smiled coldly: “Co-author, all we can talk about now is work?”

“Brother Sheng has always cared for and helped me with my work over the years. I will always remember it in my heart. No matter what happens to our personal relationship in the end, the fact that you are the noble person in my life will not change, and my gratitude to you will not change either.”

“Just gratitude?” Bai Shengguang was so angry that he no longer wanted to eat. He pushed away the bowl and chopsticks and crossed his arms. “Is it because I’m not good enough to you? What are you dissatisfied with?”

“I’m not dissatisfied. I know my own worth. I can’t reach someone like you.”

Bai Shengguang snorted: “You were not so humble at first.”

“I was too young and ignorant at that time.”

Chen Shilu didn’t expect Bai Shengguang to be so difficult to deal with. He had no choice but to say: “Brother Sheng, I have a boyfriend. I want to manage my relationship well. I’m really sorry.”

“You have a boyfriend?” Bai Shengguang looked at him suspiciously, not quite believing it.

He has never communicated his views on relationships with Bai Shengguang, but for people like them, many things are self-evident once they get along.Bai Shengguang knew something about him, just as he knew the other person.

Chen Shilu thought that if it didn’t work, he could only use the traces Chi Huang left at his house.Then the doorbell rang.

The confrontation between the two was interrupted by the ringing of the bell, and Bai Shengguang asked him: “Did you make an appointment with someone else today?”

Chen Shilu was also suspicious. He had no appointment and there was no express delivery today.

The doorbell stopped ringing once, and Chen Shilu said, “Maybe I pressed it wrong.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the electronic lock beeped, the door opened from the outside, and Chi Huang walked in with his bag.

The author has something to say:

I think some people have forgotten who “Bai Shengguang” is. He appeared not long after the beginning of the episode. He was identified as the “old man” by Xiaochi.(In the previous chapter, there was a bug in the plot of Xiaochi logging into Xiaochen’s WeChat from another device. Eagle-eyed readers pointed it out, and I have changed it. PS: Sometimes readers pointed out typos and so on, but I didn’t change it because the review mechanism is a bit random now. If the previous version passed this version, it may not pass, so I won’t change the article easily after it is published, but I still thank my attentive friends for pointing it out.)
