In the end, Lin Yuan spent a lot of money,
He took down the new energy project,
On the other side of the river, Shen Huai's new company was filled with complaints. They had been working on this project for more than half a year, but in the end, they were still drawing water with a bamboo basket,
However, the person in charge, Lao Jin, was beaming with joy. He said that Shen Huai had called and gave each of the small company, which had a total of five people, including the cleaning auntie, a considerable bonus.
Everyone was stunned. They could still give bonuses if they didn't win the bid? Lao Jin said, "CEO Shen said that it's because we did too well with the project.
That's why Lin Yuan fell for it. "
This sentence was said half a month later.
After Lin Yuan's wind power energy project was announced by the government in that small African country,
People understood what it meant.
The local ruling party was corrupt,
The relationship of interests was complicated, Lin Yuan had naturally investigated in advance,
He was not completely unprepared,
That was why he was able to urge the government to start the project as soon as possible,
However, less than a week after the deployment, the workers in the core manufacturing factory went on strike,
Following that, the supporting departments also began to go on strike. This project was supported by the country's funds, and there was no mistreatment of the workers,
Although the Chinese people that Lin Yuan had sent to the local area were management,
They were not treated well,
When they investigated the source of the strike, they could not find anything. When they asked the workers' demands, they were also a bunch of unreasonable demands. This strike did not seem to be normal, so Lin Yuan could only make a trip himself.
The night before Lin Yuan left, Lin Xiu, who had left home for a long time, returned home with a simple duffel bag for the first time.
At that time, Lin Yuan was feeding the fish next to the fish tank on the first floor. Lin Xiu had bought a small, big-bellied clownfish at the school gate when he was in fourth grade. After raising it excitedly for a few days, he lost interest. It was Lin Yuan who one day found that the fish had given birth to dozens of small fish in the small fish tank, so he used his pocket money to buy a complete set of equipment and changed the fish into a large fish tank. Later, the fish in the tank continued to reproduce and change generations. It was unknown how many generations it had changed, but it was carefully taken care of by Lin Yuan for many years. One day in high school, when he was feeding the fish on time, he suddenly remembered that this tank of fish was originally from the same root. According to biological theory, of any species, inbreeding was not appropriate. However, in order to adapt to certain harsh environments, clownfish could even change sex to reproduce with father and son.
The high school student Lin Yuan looked at a tank of fish and his face was red. He thought of some of his thoughts that were difficult to say. In nature that accommodated everything, it was not necessarily wrong.
Therefore, feeding the fish became a kind of confession for Lin Yuan.
When Lin Xiu came back, he saw his brother feeding the fish, so he vaguely remembered that he had asked his brother to finish up on a whim in fourth grade. In fact, Lin Yuan loved to finish up for him since he was a child to show his existence, which made him almost think that his brother was omnipotent.
But this time was not the case.
When Lin Yuan saw Lin Xiu, his eyes lit up. "Why are you back?"
"Mother Wang asked me to come back." Lin Xiu put down the bag in his hand. He didn't turn around and leave like before when he saw Lin Yuan, as if he wanted to say something. Of course, it was impossible for Mother Wang to call him back. Mother Wang had called him hundreds of times, but he didn't move. But today, he came back because he was worried about Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan saw the awkward expression on his face, but he didn't care. He just looked at Lin Xiu. "You're back … Will you leave again?"
Lin Xiu glanced at him and was forced to look away by his strong gaze. "I can't live at home for the rest of my life."
Lin Yuan looked like he was receiving everyone's attention again. Lin Xiu was annoyed, so he changed the topic. "Forget it, I came back to tell you something." Lin Xiu coughed. "I met with Qin Shuo and asked him to inquire about it. The situation is a bit complicated, but it is certain that Shen Huai planned all of this. He lured you to compete with him for the bidding, and he may even have helped you start your project. He has a good relationship with Li Ming, who is engaged in foreign cooperation. Now the country has follow-up photovoltaic power plants, and he is forcing you to ask for data. Now that you are stuck here, you shouldn't be angry with him and insist on taking this task."
Lin Yuan listened, but there was no expression on his face.
Lin Xiu suddenly realized that it was impossible for his brother not to know about these things. Once again, Lin Xiu felt that what he did was useless, and his shoulders slumped a little.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan didn't seem to care about this. His voice was a little gloomy.
"I have never been angry with anyone since I was a child."
Lin Xiu vaguely heard a little grievance in his words.
He couldn't bear this grievance, and he remembered that he punched Lin Yuan's face before. He thought fiercely that no matter how wronged Lin Yuan was, he shouldn't seek comfort from the person who hurt him.
"I'll go back to the house first. If you can't handle it, I can help you during this period."
Lin Xiu said and was about to go upstairs. Lin Yuan naturally refused to let him go. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, but he didn't know what to say. He could only grab the fish food in his hand and shake it in front of Lin Xiu. "Last month, two fish died, so I changed the fish food mixed with medicine."
"Oh." Lin Xiu felt that he couldn't continue the conversation. He turned his head and glanced at the lively tank of tropical fish. He had long forgotten that he was the culprit of that tank of fish. He didn't even ask why the tank was full of the same species.
His heart had never been there.
Lin Yuan lowered his head, stood in the same place for a while, and then turned around to continue feeding the fish. Lin Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would no longer pester him, but it was only for a moment. Then he went upstairs with relief.
Lin Xiu didn't know that this indifferent farewell made him immersed in regret for several nights. He regretted that he didn't say a good word to his brother for the last time.
Even if it was a "goodbye"?
***
Hearing the news that Lin Yuan would go to the project site in person, Shen Huai moved his sore neck, stood up from behind the desk, and told Cheng Pei and another young man that he would get off work early today.
The total area of this office was about one hundred square meters, and there was no independent office. There were only three people, including Shen Huai. When Shen Huai was driven out of the Shen clan building, he only took a few close elites with him, and all of them went to the other side to work. He took Cheng Pei and a financial officer to handle the general affairs here, and he did everything by himself. To be honest, he had never been so tired since he was a child, nor had he been so hardworking and simple.
Shen Ke came to this office to see him. At that time, he was sleeping on a small sofa in the reception area with disheveled clothes. Probably because he hadn't been home for a few days, his body smelled, and his hair was unkempt, like a tramp. Shen Ke's eyes were red, and she didn't know if it was worth it to be angry with her brother. However, when she heard that Shen Huai and that male actor had finally broken up, Shen Ke heaved a sigh of relief. She had originally wanted to give her brother a few words, but seeing how pitiful he was, she did not say anything.
Shen Ke continued to struggle for survival in the Shen clan, and he struggled to keep the last bit of right to speak. Fortunately, Shen Huai had waited for the initial success of his plan. As soon as Lin Yuan left, Shen Ke also had space to play in the Shen clan, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
It was only a matter of time before Lin Yuan was defeated, but this time was different from the past. There would be no lively celebration party, and the bad friends who used to surround him had long stopped contacting him. Qin Shuo more or less knew the reason why he schemed against Lin Yuan, and Lin Xianyu was between them, so it was not easy to contact him.
Shen Huai asked Cheng Pei and the accountant to drive home after work. Facing the empty house, he opened a bottle of wine and drank until he was a little drunk. Only then did he allow himself to think about Ren Xuanyu.
After Ren Xuanyu left, Shen Huai still lived here. On the one hand, it was convenient to live here for a long time, and he really didn't have time to change places recently. On the other hand, Shen Huai could admit that he was still unwilling to leave Ren Xuanyu behind so quickly. When he returned home, physically and mentally exhausted, he would think of the time when Ren Xuanyu threw five condoms in one go when he saw the trash can. He was too embarrassed to ask the auntie to clean him up. Although he would feel heartache when he thought of this, this pain actually made him addicted to it. It was not imaginary, but the real pain of his heart being clutched. It was so specific that it was like a climax, pulling the person in his memory to his side, replaying the other person's eyelashes, breath, fingers, and hot nights in his mind. It was to prove that he once had Ren Xuanyu, and that he had once been filled with Ren Xuanyu in every corner of his body and life.
Today happened to be a month after the two broke up. Shen Huai was affectionate and careful. In the past, he used to make the people around him happy. He was naturally sensitive to things like anniversaries, but this was the first time he remembered the anniversary of the breakup. He would forget the people in the past as soon as he turned around. Only Ren Xuanyu made him remember it in a dull way for a month, and it was time to let it go.
Shen Huai took out his phone and left a message to Cheng Pei, asking her to find time to put this house up for sale.
As soon as he put down the phone, the screen lit up again. It was two text messages from strange numbers.
"It's been a month, and I've figured it out."
