Chapter 13 - Zhuang Yanyu simply never had such thoughts to him at all

During work the next day, Zhuang Yanyu handed over the completed new plan of the terminal automated container intelligent management and control system to Director Xu.

He originally wanted to talk to Wen Chenxi first, but last night, he didn’t know if it was his illusion, before hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yanyu felt that Wen Chenxi was not in a good mood.

Maybe he was tired from work.

Zhuang Yanyu thought about it again. The new plan he proposed was a project. Since it was a project, it was only natural to follow the rules and process.

Even if he really wanted to generate income for his good brother, all plans needed to be submitted for approval. Only after the establishment of the project could it be decided whether to be done or not.

Director Xu was taken aback when he saw the plan, and asked in disbelief: “Can the speed really be increased by so much?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Yes.”

Director Xu took a deep look at Zhuang Yanyu.

He had seen that Zhuang Yanyu was very extraordinary before, otherwise he would not have thought of poaching him into the engineering department.

But he never expected that Zhuang Yanyu was even more extraordinary than he imagined.

Director Xu couldn’t sit still after seeing the new plan, and said excitedly: “If it’s really possible… our project will make a lot of money! Have you tried it? How much faster exactly is the speed? How much can the cost be reduced?”

Zhuang Yanyu was calm, as if he had not done such an amazing feat: “There is no data report yet, and the technical service computer cannot be tested. I want to apply for engineering development of the equipment here.”

Director Xu waved his hand:”Approve, approve, approve! Just do it, when the data comes out, I will report it for you!”

After finishing speaking, he complained: “You really… I told you to come to the engineering department before, but you refused to come. What’s so good about technical service… okay, okay, I’m not going to talk about this anymore, I’ll get the test data done first, and I’ll ask someone to help you, and I’ll let them work overtime to accompany you until you are done!”

Zhuang Yanyu stood still and said seriously: “I don’t work overtime tonight, I have something on.”

Director Xu choked up: “…The data must come out as soon as possible ma¹.”

Zhuang Yanyu went to work.

Director Xu watched him, always walking in the same posture calmly, waving his hands at the same angle, and hated iron for not being steel.

Young people nowadays really didn’t know how to work harder! Did he not want to make money to buy a house!

And he didn’t know what was going on with the higher-ups, the transfer application he made had not been approved, was Mr. Wen going to watch this genius go down the drain!

Zhuang Yanyu didn’t know Director Xu’s thoughts. After he applied for the special equipment for engineering development, he started to run the program of the new plan.

His good brother gave him a salary increase, so he will help his good brother’s company make more money.

This could be regarded as a two-way friendship, right?

Zhuang Yanyu thought of the host he brought with him in his previous life. Although the Long Aotians were a little miserable in the earlier days, after the Long Aotian hosts were enlightened, most of their good brothers were big bosses.

They either give the host money, equipment, and natural treasures, or a high status.

Zhuang Yanyu could only help his good brother earn more money.

After getting off work in the afternoon, the data of the program had not been collected finished yet. Zhuang Yanyu did not work overtime, but went to the underground parking lot, going to Wen Chenxi’s special parking space.

Ji Zhiyuan would invite him to dinner tonight, so because Wen Chenxi would take him there, they agreed to meet here.

Zhuang Yanyu thought he might have to wait for a while, but when he got to the car, the window was rolled down, revealing a gentle face, he was already waiting there.

Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes lit up, “Ah Xi.”

Wen Chenxi covered his eyes with his glasses and stared calmly on Zhuang Yanyu’s face for two seconds, then said, “Get in the car.”

“En!”

Zhuang Yanyu got into the back seat, and sat with Wen Chenxi together.

The driver waited for him to get into the car before starting it, and slowly drove out of the basement.

Zhuang Yanyu asked him: “Did you wait for a long time?”

Wen Chenxi shook his head: “No, I just came down too.”

Zhuang Yanyu asked again: “Where are we going to eat?”

Wen Chenxi continued to shake his head: “I don’t know yet.”

Zhuang Yanyu soon found out that Wen Chenxi was not in a high mood today.

Kind of like last night when they were about to hang up.

Zhuang Yanyu cared about his good brother, so he asked directly: “Are you okay?”

Wen Chenxi was silent.

He turned his head and glanced at the little employee’s eyes, which were full of concern for him, and there was undisguised worry.

So straightforward and sincere.

Wen Chenxi took off his glasses, rubbed between his brows, and explained gently: “Maybe it’s because I’m tired from work.”

Zhuang Yanyu’s analysis was also related to work, so naturally, he didn’t doubt what he said, but instead understood it very well.

After all, Weilan Technology was such a big company with so many subsidiaries and was responsible for different projects. All major decisions needed to be made by Wen Chenxi. How could it be possible not to be tired?

If the company’s performance was not good, it would affect the wages, which would affect the thousands of families who rely on the company to survive!

This pressure was not something ordinary people could bear.

Zhuang Yanyu grabbed Wen Chenxi’s hand and said seriously: “Don’t worry, I will help you make money.”

He also said: “Help you make a lot of money.”

Wen Chenxi was slightly taken aback.

The other party’s hand was white and slender, the fingertips were slightly cool, and his palm was not as warm as he thought it to be. When he held it, it gave people an inexplicably cute and obedient feeling.

His body temperature was low, like that of a fish. When compared with Wen Chenxi’s warm hand, it was like holding a piece of cool jade, which made a certain person’s restless heart calm down.

The cell phone rang, suddenly breaking the atmosphere. It was Wen Chenxi’s cell phone ringing, Li Xi had called.

Wen Chenxi said in a low voice, “I’ll answer the phone.”

He didn’t withdraw the hand held by Zhuang Yanyu, but answered the phone with his left hand.

Li Xi said: “Old Wen, are you off work?”

Wen Chenxi: “En, I’m off. Where are we going to eat?”

Li Xi said with a smile: “Old Ji² said to go to your house and eat your cooking. ”

Wen Chenxi paused, and glanced at Zhuang Yanyu beside him: “To my house?”

Zhuang Yanyu immediately picked up his ears, were they going to his good brother’s house for dinner tonight? Hadn’t they wanted to go eat outside? !

Seeing Zhuang Yanyu’s curious look, Wen Chenxi simply switched on the speaker mode and let Zhuang Yanyu listen together.

Li Xi smiled and said: “I can’t help you, Lao Ji said that if you don’t cook a big meal to comfort his heart today, he will never forgive you.”

Wen Chenxi said lightly: “Oh, he thinks beautifully.”

Li Xi’s phone was also on speaker mode, and when Ji Zhiyuan heard this sentence, he immediately yelled loudly: “How dare you say that! Yesterday I clearly agreed to come to your house to pick up fruit after work! I’m here with you. I waited at the door for an hour and you didn’t answer! I called you, and it showed that you were on the phone the whole time. I was wondering if you were busy, so I sent you a WeChat message, only to find out that you blocked me! Are you not sorry to me? I want to have a bite of your cooking now, what’s wrong with that! What’s wrong with that!”

Li Xi laughed to death at the side.

He sent a message to Old Wen last night because he had something to do, saying that he would go later, but he didn’t know that Ji Zhiyuan had been waiting here for so long and got a shut-in³.

He tried his best to be a peacemaker: “Old Wen is busy, it’s normal, he is not like you, idle every day and has nothing to do.”

Ji Zhiyuan yelled: “Then why did he block me!! I don’t care, old Wen, today you must cook me a meal to apologize!”

Yesterday?

Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes moved.

So it turned out that Ji Zhiyuan said that he would invite him to dinner yesterday?

But because he had an appointment with his colleagues, Ah Xi didn’t tell him.

Wen Chenxi was given a headache by Ji Zhiyuan’s yelling, and ended the call without saying a word.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Zhuang Yanyu, “Sorry, I thought we were going to a restaurant, but we might have to change places now.”

“It’s okay!” Zhuang Yanyu looked at him with eyes full of expectation, “I also want to eat at your house.”

Going to his good brother’s house for dinner!

This relationship had taken such a qualitative leap!

Wen Chenxi glanced at him, seeing that Zhuang Yanyu really didn’t mind, so he gave an ‘En’ and asked the driver to drive the car home.

The back seat of this car is actually very spacious, but Wen Chenxi was tall and had very slender legs. Putting his long legs there, the space seems cramped.

He and Zhuang Yanyu’s clothes were very different, he wore a high-tailored suit. Even in the hot summer, he wore his suit meticulously.

Zhuang Yanyu wore simple pants and short sleeves. Weilan Technology did not have strict dress requirements for employees, and everyone dressed as comfortably as possible.

However, Wen Chenxi still noticed that Zhuang Yanyu’s clothes were just like his obsessive-compulsive disorder. They were all flat and not wrinkled. They must have been ironed after they were washed every time.

Because Wen Chenxi wore a lot, the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was relatively low. It was no wonder the temperature of Xiao Yu’s hand was so low.

Wen Chenxi asked: “Is it cold?”

Zhuang Yanyu said: “No.”

Wen Chenxi reminded him: “Your hands are a bit cold.”

Zhuang Yanyu then noticed that he was still holding his brother’s hand.

Wen Chenxi watched his reaction.

It was actually quite weird for two men to hold hands like this.

But after Zhuang Yanyu noticed, his face didn’t change at all. Instead, he took his hand back, pressed it against his face, and then shook his head: “Normal temperature.”

Wen Chenxi: “…”

This reaction was really… too straight.

When they arrived at Wen Chenxi’s house, Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi were already waiting at the door of his house.

Wen Chenxi’s home was very large, it was a duplex two-story large flat floor, each floor was about 200 square meters, the decoration was very simple, it was low-key and revealed luxurious decorations everywhere.

Ji Zhiyuan pulled him affectionately: “Is this Xiao Zhuang’s first time coming here? Let’s go! I’ll show you around.”

Zhuang Yanyu didn’t refuse: “Okay.”

Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes were like a camera, every time his line of sight fell on a place, it looked like he was recording all the data there.

After visiting the areas that were allowed, Zhuang Yanyu already had the blueprint of this house in his mind, just like a schematic diagram of decoration, and he could remember clearly what was in each place.

Returning to the kitchen after looking around, Zhuang Yanyu saw Wen Chenxi dealing with the vegetables Ji Zhiyuan bought, and took the initiative to go over, “I’ll help you.”

Just as Wen Chenxi was about to say no, he turned his head and saw that Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi had already started fighting over playing the game. Worried that Zhuang Yanyu would feel bored, he said, “Do you know how to chop vegetables?”

“Yes.”

“Then help me chop these carrots and potatoes ba⁴.”

“Okay.”

Wen Chenxi learnt cooking when he was still studying in school. Although he hadn’t done much cooking recently, his skills were still there.

Occasionally, when he raised his head and saw Zhuang Yanyu earnestly chopping vegetables, he felt a little strange in his heart.

Sensing his gaze, Zhuang Yanyu raised his head and looked back: “What’s wrong?”

Wen Chenxi retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, “No, I’m going to change clothes, these clothes are inconvenient.”

Zhuang Yanyu looked at his suit and nodded, “Okay.”

It made people feel that he was very well-behaved.

Wen Chenxi went to change clothes, and Ji Zhiyuan, who had lost the game within seconds in the living room, took a look and felt that Zhuang Yanyu, as a guest, should not be alone in the kitchen, so he came over and asked, “Xiao Zhuang, do you want me to help?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “No need.”

When Ji Zhiyuan looked down, he suddenly exclaimed: “wo qu⁵, Xiao Zhuang, did you cut this?”

Ji Zhiyuan saw that the shredded potatoes seemed like they were cut by a machine, no matter the size, length or thickness of each potato shred, all were exactly the same.

Zhuang Yanyu: “I cut it.”

Ji Zhiyuan said exaggeratedly: “Those who didn’t know would think it was cut by a machine, your knife skills are amazing!”

Ji Zhiyuan became interested, so he just watched Zhuang Yanyu cut it in the kitchen, and found out that it was real. It was really cut out by Zhuang Yanyu, and he gave another burst of exaggerated flattery.

After he ran out of words, he complained to him about how mean Wen Chenxi was to him, and accused him repeatedly infront of Zhuang Yanyu.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yanyu listened, and put down the kitchen knife, saying to him: “That’s great, I envy you.”

Ji Zhiyuan was taken aback, “What would you envy me?”

Zhuang Yanyu said: “What you said is all because of you and Ah Xi have a good relationship.”

Ji Zhiyuan: “Of course.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “That’s why I envy you, because I also want to be Ah Xi’s most important…”

Wen Chenxi, who had just finished changing and was walking to the kitchen door, heard this sentence and his footsteps stopped, his heart suddenly lifting.

In the next second, Zhuang Yanyu continued to say: “…good brother.”

Wen Chenxi’s heart fell to the ground in an instant.

A fact that he was reluctant to admit was placed in front of him.

Xiao Yu⁶… didn’t have that kind of thought to him at all.

The author has something to say:

PS——

Zhuang Yanyu: I really envy you, I also want to be Ah Xi’s brother.

Ji Zhiyuan: You dream too much, I will always be number one in Lao Wen’s heart, right Lao Wen?

Wen Chenxi: Break up the relationship.

Starting today, Yuyu⁷ is number one.

Ji Zhiyuan:? ?

¹- 嘛, just a sound ‘ma’, don’t really mean anything, just a chinese way of speaking at the end of a sentence.

²- Ji Zhiyuan

³- 吃了个闭门羹, direct translation is ‘ate a shut-in’, basically Ji Zhiyuan was locked outside the door.

⁴- 吧, just a sound ‘ba’, don’t really mean anything, just s chinese way of speaking at the end of a sentence.

³- 我去, chinese pinyin as ‘wo qu’, basically it is a type of cursing.

⁶- I know this is a bit late but… the raws is ‘this Yu’, so since that sounds just plain weird, I just changed it to ‘Xiao Yu’. I forgot to add that note in the earlier chapters.

⁷- 鱼鱼, this was fish fish~ another word play, although it’s not as fantastic in english…

Helen XD:

Did you hear a sound? I swear it’s Wen Chenxi’s heart breaking (╯3╰)/

Xiao Yu is no. 1! No wait, should he not be no. 0? （乛v乛)

Ah, I want to ask you guys, my dear readers, if you guys are okay with me putting ‘ah/ ma’ at the end of sentences and ‘en’ (or should I just change it to ‘yes’). I (shamelessly) request you guys to react to the emojis below~ [😝 for yes and 👍for no]

I’ll check in like maybe a week?

Oh, and yesterday, I was too busy to upload so I’ll find time to do a double release, but not tonight… I need my sleep ^^

~Spoiler~

Wen Chenxi is in for great disappointments XD
