Bai Yueguang's other settings have collapsed

Chapter 36 Fair Competition

After half an hour.

A Michelin restaurant.

Xie Changle sat in front of the table, the waiter next to him leaned slightly, and introduced today's menu with a gentle tone: "Today's appetizer is the Peron oysters that were just airlifted from France in the morning, paired with red wine and fragrant pears..."

Xie Changle didn't listen to a single word.

Helpless, there is a person sitting on each side of him.The table in the Michelin restaurant was wide enough for three people to sit, but Xie Changle felt that he was caught between two people and felt a little restless.

While speaking his lines, the waiter raised his eyes and glanced at the guests on the table.For some reason, she always felt that the guests served at this table were a little strange.

Logically speaking, those who can go out to eat together should have a good relationship.But looking at it now, these three people have no communication at all, and there is still a hint of tit-for-tat.

Affected by this strange atmosphere, the voice of the waiter gradually lowered: "...and calendula wagyu beef with fresh asparagus..."

Qin Qiusheng asked, "Can the asparagus be replaced?"

The attitude of the waiter was very good, and he asked: "Is there a customer who is not eating?"

Qin Qiusheng nodded slightly: "Yes."

The waiter asked again: "Which one is it? The chef will adjust the menu separately."

Qin Qiusheng looked at Xie Changle.

Xie Changle, who was suddenly caught by the cue, was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "How do you know that I don't eat asparagus?"

Qin Qiusheng said warmly: "You said it last time."

Xie Changle was a little surprised.

He and Qin Qiusheng ate together not too many times, only a few times, and he didn't expect to remember his picky food.

Xie Changle said to the waiter, "It's me."

The waiter didn't know what the relationship between the two was, so he said casually: "You two have a really good relationship, and you even remember the taboos clearly."

After the words fell, the waiter obviously saw another customer's face darken, and seemed very unhappy.

The waiter immediately apologized: "Excuse me, did I say something wrong?"

Qin Qiusheng reassured: "It's okay, you don't need to pay attention to him. I think..." He meaningfully glanced at the place where Mr. Fu was, and said with a smile, "You make a lot of sense."

Fu Yixing snorted coldly.

He didn't see anything on the surface, but he didn't want to be outdone in private, and sent a message to his assistant.

【Does Madam have any taboos? 】

The assistant was silent for a moment when he saw this question.

Who did Young Master Xie marry before, and how did he know more than her real husband?But he didn't dare to complain about Mr. Fu. After thinking for a moment, he replied to this message: [Madam has a lot of taboos.Such as asparagus, sea fish, white fungus...]

Fu Yixing looked down at the news, and it was the first time he knew that Xie Changle was such a picky eater.In the past, he would have taught Xie Changle not to be so picky, but now...he replied: [make a list for me]

【Add preferences】

After replying to the message, Fu Yixing put down his phone, raised his eyelids, and saw that Xie Changle had already started talking with Qin Qiusheng.

Qin Qiusheng was talking about what he saw and heard in the film crew, as well as anecdotes about the entertainment industry, which made Xie Changle laugh.

"Is it really that interesting?"

"I think that star is very cold, why is he like this in private, tsk tsk..."

"You still hang on the coercion? How does it feel to fly in the sky?"

The two chatted happily.

Even though they were sitting at the same table, Fu Yixing felt like an outsider, unable to blend in.

This realization made Fu Yixing feel bored for a while, and this feeling reached its peak when Qin Qiusheng gave him a showy look.

Ding.

Fu Yixing put down the knife and fork, and the silver tableware collided with the porcelain plate, making a clear sound.

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

Xie Changle was attracted by the sound, and turned his head: "Mr. Fu? Are you okay?"

Fu Yixing coldly glanced at Qin Qiusheng who was sitting on the other side, and said bluntly, "You can't talk about food."

Xie Changle felt a little speechless: "..."

Obviously Mr. Fu is not very old, but he has to abide by these rigid rules, he looks like a middle-aged and elderly person.

The scene cooled down.

After Fu Yixing finished speaking, he regretted a little, he knew that Xie Changle wouldn't like it, but he couldn't swallow what he said, so he could only keep silent.

Fortunately, Qin Qiusheng stood up to ease the atmosphere at this time: "This may be the Fu family's regulations. Now that we are outside, there is no need to be so conservative, Mr. Fu?"

Qin Qiusheng was obviously smiling, but when he looked over, his eyes were full of provocation.

Mr. Fu didn't speak.

He stood up: "excuse me."

Behind him, Qin Qiusheng could still hear what Qin Qiusheng said to Xie Changle, the voice was not loud enough for him to hear: "Is Mr. Fu always like this? It's really difficult to get along with."

Xie Changle's answer was: "Oh, his temperament is like this, I'm used to it. Don't worry about it."

Fu Yixing suppressed this irritability, walked out of the box, and came straight to the smoking area.But when I got there, I realized that there was no cigarette, so I stood at the door for a while.

Fu Yixing lowered his head, the light shone on the side of his face, making it look sharp.A gust of cold wind blew, which made him calm down a little.

Normally, Fu Yixing must be impatient to pester Qin Qiusheng, and would not take his provocation seriously.

But now, concern is chaotic.He was more concerned about Xie Changle's thoughts, for fear of making people angry if he was not careful.

It's never felt so cautious.

Fu Yixing didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he savored it carefully, and after he calmed down, he walked back.

Xie Changle felt that Mr. Fu was a little weird.

Since returning from a trip, the whole person is different, inserting into their conversation from time to time.

Mr. Fu is well-read and has a huge reserve of knowledge, so he can answer no matter what.The entertainment industry, business, real estate... everything is done at your fingertips.

Xie Changle knew for the first time that Mr. Fu could talk without choking others, and he could have a happy conversation.On second thought, maybe it was just that there was no need to show this side before.

But even so, Xie Changle still had an unreal feeling, he always felt that the one who said "you can't talk when you eat" just now is Mr. Fu.

Finally finished the meal.

Xie Changle felt that everything could be over, but when he went outside, he faced another difficult decision.

Qin Qiusheng invited: "Changle, let me see you off. By the way, we can also watch the movie we talked about just now."

Fu Yixing didn't have so many reasons, he just said, "I'll see you off."

Xie Changle: "..."

Can you stop asking him to choose between the two every day?

Fu Yixing and Qin Qiusheng stood beside him, one on the left and the other on the right. Although they didn't make a move, their eyes fell on Xie Changle.

Xie Changle looked to the left and then to the right.

One handsome, one elegant.

Xie Changle quickly made a decision - he took out his mobile phone: "I just called an online car-hailing car, just go back by myself."

Xiao Zhang is an online car-hailing driver.

He lives an ordinary life every day.Taking orders, giving them away, completing orders, and listening to the sound of money being credited, is boring but profitable.

Until one night, he received a strange order.

It's not that the order is strange, nor is it that the person who placed the order is strange, but that the people next to the passengers are a little strange.

At first, Xiao Zhang thought that there were three people in the car, but after driving, there was only one handsome young man who looked like a star.The other two stood where they were, but looked at this side with burning eyes.

Xiao Zhang suddenly had an idea, if his eyes could materialize, then his tires must have exploded.

Xiao Zhang glanced at the young man sitting in the back row with the rearview mirror.

The young man seemed to be extremely tired. He closed his eyes and leaned against the window as soon as he got in the car.The bangs fell on the forehead, highlighting a bit of delicate fragility.

No one would want to bother him.

Of course Xiao Zhang didn't want to, but his professional ethics still made him say, "Please check the end number of your phone."

Xie Changle opened his eyes and reported the last four digits of the phone.

After Xiao Zhang checked, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Are those two... are your friends?"

Which two?

Xie Changle turned his head and looked out. Through the gray window, he could see Qin Qiusheng and Fu Yixing standing not far away together.

Xie Changle turned his head calmly: "No, we don't know each other, let's go."

Xiao Zhang stepped on the accelerator and immediately left the two people far behind.

Just as Xie Changle was about to close his eyes, the phone rang again, and at the same time, he received two consecutive messages, from Qin Qiusheng and Fu Yixing respectively.

[Changle, tell me when you get home, pay attention to safety on the road, fasten your seat belt]

【Let me know when you get home】

Xie Changle: "..."

What the hell did these two people do?

Xie Changle covered the phone and decided not to answer any of them.

at the same time.

Fu Yixing put the phone in his pocket, and glanced at Qin Qiusheng who was standing beside him unkindly: "You'd better stay away from him."

No name was named, but both people present knew who this "he" was.

Qin Qiusheng tore off the disguise in front of Xie Changle, no longer had the illusion of gentleness, and said sharp words: "I don't think Mr. Fu is qualified for this?"

The current Fu Yixing does not have the qualifications, but it does not prevent him from stopping Qin Qiusheng, he said flatly: "You are not worthy of him."

Qin Qiusheng straightened his spine: "Soon, I will be worthy."

The eyes of Fu Yixing and Qin Qiusheng met for a moment.

Fu Yixing snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but it was enough to show his contempt.

Qin Qiusheng knew what Fu Yixing was contemptuous of, held back his annoyance, and tried his best to say rationally: "Indeed, even if I work hard for another 100 years, I still can't compare to Mr. Fu's wealth, but—at least I respect Changle and will take care of him What's more, I like him more than you."

The corners of Fu Yixing's lips were tightly pursed, and finally he only uttered two words: "Not necessarily."

I don't know which aspect of "not necessarily" I am talking about.

Qin Qiusheng did not refute, but smiled lightly and said, "Fair competition, Mr. Fu." He extended his hand towards Fu Yixing.

Qin Qiusheng's palm hung in the air for a long time.

Fu Yixing cast a cold glance and walked past.

Qin Qiusheng didn't care, shrugged and walked in the opposite direction.

Xie Changle arrived home.

He obviously just ate dinner, but he was extremely tired. As soon as he got home, he lay on the sofa not wanting to move, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Xie Changle was awakened by a buzzing vibration.He opened his eyes in a daze, and looked down. It turned out that the mobile phone had fallen into the sofa, and he kept thinking.

He took out the phone and saw that it was all messages from Qin Qiusheng.

The first message was: [Are you home? 】

After receiving no reply, it took a long time before he sent the second message, cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing him.

【It's really my fault tonight. I shouldn't be fighting with Mr. Fu. Did it make you uncomfortable?It's just that I couldn't help thinking that I haven't seen each other for such a long time.I won't embarrass you next time. 】

Xie Changle was fine at first, but when he saw such a long essay by Qin Qiusheng, he felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, it should be all his fault!

It was he who forcibly changed the plot, which caused the CPs in the original work to not be together. It was fine if they were not together, and it turned into a tit-for-tat mode.

What a villain he is!

Holding the guilt towards Qin Qiusheng, Xie Changle slowly pressed a sentence: [It's okay, it has nothing to do with you...]

Before the words were sent, Qin Qiusheng sent another message: [The brand will invite me to a reception tomorrow night. I have no one to invite. Can you go with me? 】

[Of course, if it’s inconvenient, forget it, don’t force yourself [smile]]

Xie Changle's hands stopped.

Now that it's all said and done, is he still ashamed to refuse?

He deleted all the words he had entered before, and replied: [Okay, I will accompany you tomorrow. 】

Almost at the same second, an emoticon package popped up in the chat box, and the little cat circled around in place, representing a cheering mood.

Qin Qiusheng: [I'm here to pick you up? 】

Xie Changle thought for a while: [No need, just send me the address and I will go there by myself]

Qin Qiusheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't show this loss in front of Xie Changle, but said: [Mmm, ok]

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the second day.

Because there was a reception in the evening, Xie Changle didn't go to the studio, but lay at home for a long time and was lazy, then picked out a set of clothes in the afternoon, did a styling, and then drove to the place where the reception was held.

Coincidentally, the hotel where the reception was held turned out to be owned by the Xie family.

But business is normal.

The famous five-star hotels in H City were all founded by the Xie family.

Xie Changle parked the car, and under the guidance of the waiter, came to the scene of the reception.

What was held today was a product launch event, and most of the invited guests were celebrities, who would look familiar at a glance.

The crystal chandelier above the head is brightly lit, and the shadows of the clothes are below, and the room is full of luxury and luxury. Everything seems to be covered with a layer of golden yarn, hazy and luxurious.

Xie Changle stood at the door for a while, and then saw Qin Qiusheng walking over in a hurry.

It was rare for Qin Qiusheng to wear formal clothes, but he didn't look rigid, on the contrary, it made him gentle and elegant.

Xie Changle stared at it for a long time, Qin Qiusheng was a little embarrassed, looked down at himself carefully, and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Xie Changle shook his head: "No, it's pretty pretty."

Qin Qiusheng lowered his head, concealed his unnaturalness, and said in a low voice, "You look good today, too."

Really nice.

Xie Changle didn't wear the old-fashioned style of suit, but changed it slightly, the waist was slightly tightened, making him look slim and long.Standing here, people can catch it at a glance, and they can't look away anymore.

Xie Changle: "?"

So why are they standing here blowing rainbow farts to each other?

Qin Qiusheng also realized that he had been here for a long time, so he said, "Let's go in first."

The two walked in side by side.

In the hall, quite a few people knew Qin Qiusheng and came up to say hello.Either to exchange pleasantries or to build a relationship, Qin Qiusheng became busy all of a sudden.

Xie Changle watched for a while.He didn't like this kind of occasion very much, and took advantage of the gap to pull Qin Qiusheng's arm.

Qin Qiusheng turned his head sideways: "Huh?"

Xie Changle said, "I'll go over there to rest."

Qin Qiusheng apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, I brought you here..."

Xie Changle has long been used to it: "It's okay, it's more important for you to do business. I'm right there, just come and find me when you're done with your work."

Qin Qiusheng now needs to accumulate some capital contacts. Although he is not as good as the Fu family, he still needs to be able to make a move in front of Xie Changle, and this reception is a good opportunity.

So after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "I'll come to you later."

Xie Changle bid farewell to Qin Qiusheng, walked to the edge of the hall, picked up something with the dinner plate, and found a quiet corner to stay.

I have to say that the dessert chefs in this hotel are very skilled.

Xie Changle picked up a small cake and took a bite. The cream was dense and sweet but not greasy, and the cake embryo was also soft and delicious.

Xie Changle was eating with gusto, but he didn't notice a pair of eyes quietly staring at him among the crowd.

Father Xie was invited to this reception.

He didn't care about the product launch event, he just came here for a formality, to enjoy the scene, after all, the crisis of the Xie family was still ahead, who would want to have fun?

He originally wanted to come and show his face and leave, but unexpectedly, he saw Xie Changle by accident.

Father Xie paused as he left the field and stopped.

A boss with a beer belly next to him was still surprised: "Old Xie, didn't you say that you have to go first if you have something to do? Why didn't you leave?"

Father Xie made a haha: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

Father Xie dismissed the boss with a beer belly, thought for a moment, and called the general manager of the hotel, asking him to pick up something from the car.

The general manager agreed, turned around and left.

Father Xie stood in the crowd, afraid that Xie Changle would leave, and also worried that he would find out, it was obviously not a hot day, but his head was sweating from the heat.

Wait left, wait right, finally the general manager came.Father Xie grabbed what he was holding and held it tightly in his hand.

The general manager was a little strange, and asked one more question: "Mr. Xie, what is this?"

Father Xie had already removed the packaging bag of this thing, and replaced it with a bottle. Now it looks like an ordinary glass bottle, nothing can be seen.

Hearing the general manager's question, Father Xie glared at him: "Just do your own thing well, don't ask so many questions."

The first rank of the official rank crushed people, not to mention that Father Xie was the top boss, even if the general manager felt something was wrong, he didn't dare to say anything, and silently backed away.

Father Xie stuffed the bottle into his pocket, walked to the buffet counter pretending nothing had happened, and took two glasses of red wine.

He has done experiments for the past two days.The color of this medicine is a bit dark, but it has no smell. It is not easy to be noticed when it is added to red wine, and the taste will be covered by the smell of wine, so it will definitely not be noticed by people.

Father Xie glanced around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he unscrewed the glass bottle and poured two drops into one of the glasses of red wine.

After finishing these, he held ordinary red wine in his left hand and added red wine in his right hand, and walked towards Xie Changle.

When Xie Changle was still thinking about whether to go over and try another small cake, he saw Father Xie appearing in front of him.

Father Xie said, "Changle."

Xie Changle: "Why are you here?"

Father Xie smiled and said, "I'm here to attend the reception. I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."

Xie Changle: Rather than saying it's a coincidence, it's better to say it's a lingering ghost.

He was afraid that father Xie would bring up the matter of asking him to go to Fu Yixing to intercede again, so he wanted to go around as soon as he turned his footsteps.

Unexpectedly, Father Xie moved aside, blocking the way.

Xie Changle: "...Is there something wrong?"

Father Xie: "I think, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Without even thinking about it, Xie Changle replied: "I can be sure that there is no misunderstanding between us."

Father Xie: "..."

Xie Changle raised his eyebrows: "It's over, can you let me go?"

Father Xie naturally wouldn't let Xie Changle go so easily, he racked his brains and said, "I didn't come here for Mr. Fu's business."

Xie Changle was surprised.

It's not for Mr. Fu's business, so what is he for?Could it be that they have other things to talk about?

Father Xie pondered for a while: "Actually, I'm here to apologize to you."

Xie Changle raised his hand: "Wait..."

Father Xie's emotions were brewing halfway, but he was interrupted by someone, and now he was in a state of being stuck, a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"

Xie Changle: "Let me see if today is April [-]st April Fool's Day."

Father Xie: "..."

Xie Changle took out his phone and looked at it, it was really not.After confirming that it was not, he looked at Father Xie again, and made a continuing action: "Say."

Father Xie: "I...I want to say that we were all wrong in the past. We are also parents for the first time. There are always some places where we will make mistakes."

Xie Changle was unmoved: "Then you guys have made a lot of mistakes."

Father Xie found it difficult to persevere, but thinking of his own purpose, he still insisted on finishing the sentence: "Huan Lin is not up to date, and has no future. The Xie family will still rely on you in the future."

Xie Changle raised his hand to refuse: "Farewell, are you serious? I'm not interested in your Xie family's property."

Father Xie was interrupted twice, gritted his teeth, and handed out the wine glass in his right hand: "I'm going to make an apology to you."

Xie Changle's eyes fell on the glass of red wine, and he said with a little hesitation: "Could it be poisonous in it?"

Father Xie's hands trembled slightly.

Horrified - how did he know?

Xie Changle: "I'm just joking."

Beads of sweat appeared on Father Xie's forehead, and he laughed dryly: "Ha, ha..." He continued, "I know we did some things that I'm sorry to you, but anyway, you also called us 18 Nian's parents, there's no need to make it so stiff."

"We didn't figure it out before, but now that we figure it out, we can still be a family. Take this glass of wine as my apology to you."

"Changle, I'm sorry." Father Xie said slowly, "Dad did something wrong."

Xie Changle stared intently, and finally took the glass of red wine.
