Chapter 15 - Do I count as your good brother now?

Wen Chenxi was now sure that Zhuang Yanyu really didn’t like him.

When he(ZYY) first met him(WCX), he(ZYY) took the initiative to get to know him(WCX), including giving him(WCX) various gifts. It was very likely that he(ZYY) really just want to be friends with him(WCX)¹.

Wen Chenxi glanced at Zhuang Yanyu with complicated eyes, but he didn’t feel like he was being deceived.

If he hadn’t thought about it first, he would naturally not over-interpret the other party’s words and deeds.

Wen Chenxi restrained his emotions, brought over the cup that Zhuang Yanyu had finished drinking, poured another cup, and said softly, “I don’t know the Miss Xiao they mentioned, and I don’t like her either.”

Zhuang Yanyu blinked, after confirming that sentence his good brother said was to himself, he asked seriously: “Then what do you like?”

Zhuang Yanyu, who made up his mind to take good care of his good brother, stopped cared about eating. His chopsticks and spoon had not been picked for a long time. He just stared at Wen Chenxi intently, and when he came up with a standard, he would help him find someone.

Ji Zhiyuan: “Xiao Zhuang, don’t ask him, just like what Li Xi said, he is an old iron tree that can’t bloom, and he won’t tell you what it is, because he doesn’t even know it himself! This person is just a workaholic.”

Li Xi laughed along with him: “Yes, yes.”

Unexpectedly, Wen Chenxi said suddenly: “I have standards.”

Hearing this, Li Xi and Ji Zhiyuan were silent, looking unbelievably at him.

Had the sun risen from the west?

Old Wen even said that he had standards for his other half!

Zhuang Yanyu didn’t know what they were surprised about. Wasn’t it normal to have criteria for choosing a mate?

The Long Aotian hosts he brought before said they didn’t too, that they just wanted to start a career, but when their wives appeared, didn’t they still get married?

What Zhuang Yanyu cared more about was: “What is it?”

He opened the little notebook in his mind, preparing to record everything clearly.

Wen Chenxi just glanced at Zhuang Yanyu, did not continue, but said: “Continue eating.”

“No! You haven’t finished yet!” Ji Zhiyuan also refused, they finally got Wen Chenxi to talk on this topic, and called him to make up his mind to ask for specific standards.

Wen Chenxi ignored him, and poured warm water for Zhuang Yanyu.

He found out that Xiao Yu… might really be a fish, very good at drinking water.

Ji Zhiyuan couldn’t ask the result, so he called Li Xi and Zhuang Yanyu to come, and asked them to torture Wen Chenxi together with him to extract a confession.

Before Li Xi could say yes, Zhuang Yanyu directly refused.

Ji Zhiyuan: “??”

Ji Zhiyuan: “Xiao Zhuang, aren’t you curious what the standard is?”

Zhuang Yanyu nodded: “Curious.”

Ji Zhiyuan: “Then why don’t you come with me? Get him drunk. Let’s make him talk together!”

Zhuang Yanyu shook his head: “But if he doesn’t want to say, I won’t force him.”

After a pause, Zhuang Yanyu said again: “Drinking until one is drunk is not good for one’s health.”

Wen Chenxi raised his lips, eyes flickering with a smile, he was very satisfied with Zhuang Yanyu’s special treatment, even if it was not out of ‘like’.

Ji Zhiyuan suddenly had a sense of crisis.

He hadn’t forgotten that Zhuang Yanyu still wanted to intervene in the brotherhood between him and Lao Wen!

Listening to what he said just now, it revealed his concern and protection for Old Wen at every angle.

Looking at himself again?

Sure enough, when Ji Zhiyuan saw that Wen Chenxi had brought some food for Zhuang Yanyu, he said softly, “En, thank you.”

Ji Zhiyuan simply stopped asking: “Then, come come come, I won’t ask anymore, let’s drink!”

Couldn’t let the title of ‘best brother’ be snatched away.

It was almost eight o’clock after dinner, and because Zhuang Yanyu didn’t drink, he was the first to finish eating.

He did not leave the table after eating, but sat by and listened to them.

But his ‘ticking biological clock’ was very punctual, and when it reached a certain time point, his thinking began to diverge.

It was okay when he was working overtime. He had a job to catch his attention. Now he was not doing overtime. At the beginning, Zhuang Yanyu was still listening to their chat carefully. After listening for a while, he took out his mobile phone to write notes, and started his usual task of learning.

After he finished making notes, Wen Chenxi and the others finished eating too.

Both Li Xi and Ji Zhiyuan drank a little too much, but they were not satisfied, so they wanted to drag the others to sing.

Wen Chenxi: “Go, I’ll take Xiaoyu home.”

Ji Zhiyuan: “Why not let Xiao Zhuang come along! What is he doing going home so early for? It’s only eight o’clock, and the nightlife has just begun.”

Wen Chenxi ignored it, and directly threw Ji Zhiyuan to Li Xi: “I’ll leave it to you.”

Li Xi smiled: “Is Xiao Zhuang really not going?”

Wen Chenxi said: “He goes to bed early.”

Li Xi said: “He is not like a young man at all, then okay ba, remember to give him our gift.”

Wen Chenxi: “En.”

Li Xi helped Ji Zhiyuan go, and before leaving, he suddenly felt that old Wen was too kind to Xiao Zhuang?

Zhuang Yanyu who came out of the bathroom didn’t see the two of them, and was a little strange: “Have they left?”

Wen Chenxi: “Went to sing.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Then why didn’t you go?”

Wen Chenxi: “I’ll see you off to go home.”

Zhuang Yanyu weighed it, to sing or for his good brother to send him home?

Zhuang Yanyu decisively chose the latter.

The neon lights outside the car were flickering, the night had just began, and the city lights were too bright, making the nebula on the sky less obvious.

The driver Wen Chenxi hired drove very steadily, following the traffic without rushing into the night.

Wen Chenxi had drank, and he, who didn’t talk much in the first place, was leaning on the back of his chair, squinting his eyes slightly.

Zhuang Yanyu thought he was sleeping and didn’t take the initiative to speak.

The carriage was very quiet until Zhuang Yanyu’s mobile phone rang ‘ding dong’. It was a WeChat message to remind him.

Zhuang Yanyu looked at Wen Chenxi first, and saw that he was not moving. After taking out his phone, the first thing he did was to mute it first, and then click on the WeChat message.

【Qin Yiyuan: Xiao Yu, what are you doing? ]

He didn’t expect Senior Qin to send him a message. Zhuang Yanyu was a little puzzled, thinking that Qin Yiyuan had something to do with him, so he replied: [On the way home, is there something wrong? ]

[Qin Yiyuan: Did you go out today? ]

[Qin Yiyuan: It’s okay, I just want to talk to you. ]

[Qin Yiyuan: I just got off work and I’m so tired. Guess which city I’m in now! 】

Seeing Qin Yiyuan saying it’s okay, Zhuang Yanyu stopped his hands and frowned, why did he look for him?

“A friend looking for you?” Wen Chenxi who was beside him suddenly said, and the faint smell of wine came from him, with a mellow aroma.

Zhuang Yanyu said honestly: “It is Senior Qin looking for me.”

“The one from the engineering department?”

“It’s him.”

“What is he looking for you for?”

Good brothers had nothing to hide from each other.

After he finished speaking, his good brother pursed his lower lip in displeasure, Zhuang Yanyu thought for a while and said, “I don’t know what to talk to him about.”

Wen Chenxi gave an ‘En’: “Then say that you’re busy.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Okay.”

Zhuang Yanyu sent a message, ‘I’m busy’.

Qin Yiyuan replied, ‘Then you finish first’, and did not send anything anymore.

Zhuang Yanyu’s home was not far away, and it’s not the peak season now, so he soon arrived at the community where he lived.

Zhuang Yanyu got out of the car and said goodbye to Wen Chenxi.

Wen Chenxi looked at him quietly for a while before saying, “See you tomorrow.”

The next day was friday, so it was soon the weekend, everyone working was in a good mood while planning where to go in the weekend.

Zhuang Yanyu went to the engineering department to continue collecting data, but Director Xu told him that after he got off work yesterday, he asked two other technicians who helped Zhuang Yanyu to continue collecting data. It was said that they worked overtime until 10 o’clock, and all the data had been collected.

“I handed in all the materials early this morning. Now I’m waiting for the project team to review it. After the review is passed, we can start working! You should have a good rest today! The higher-ups will probably ask you to explain it later.”

As soon as Zhuang Yanyu heard that two technical backbones worked overtime until ten o’clock yesterday, he silently made up his mind to stay away from Director Xu.

After Zhuang Yanyu’s brand-new terminal automated container intelligent management and control system was submitted by Director Xu, it immediately received the attention of the project team. The project team was about to hold a meeting, and the decision-making meeting naturally required Wen Chenxi to come forward.

While the decision-making meeting was still being prepared, the leaders from all departments had to go up and hold a meeting first, including the manager of their service center.

Once the management left, the service center, which had nothing to do at all, started to slack off².

Zhuang Yanyu was also chatting with Wen Chenxi.

[Wen Chenxi: Don’t you need to go to the engineering department today? ]

[ Zhuang Yanyu: En, I am waiting for the notice. 】

Wen Chenxi directly made a voice call, “Will you be tired in the engineering department?”

Zhuang Yanyu thought for a while: “It should be okay.”

Knowing that Zhuang Yanyu didn’t like to work overtime, if he allowed him to work in the engineering department, after finishing the work, if there was no need to work overtime, would Xiao Yu stay?

Indeed, as the manager of the engineering department said, he had such talent it was a pity to stay in the service department.

Wen Chenxi thought of the files submitted by the project team just now, and said, “I saw the system you made.”

Zhuang Yanyu was surprised: “So fast? Don’t you have to wait for the meeting?”

Wen Chenxi said with a smile: “The meeting is to decide whether to do it or not. Before the meeting, it will come to me first. At that time, you may be asked to demonstrate the system. Aren’t you afraid?”

“Why should I be afraid? This will make a lot of money, and they won’t make things difficult for me.”

They might even want to make him do it quickly.

So Zhuang Yanyu really didn’t have any other thoughts.

Wen Chenxi said in a low voice: “You can indeed make a lot of money for the company.” After a pause, Wen Chenxi said again: “Xiao Yu, you are very awesome.”

Happy, Zhuang Yanyu said honestly: “The most important thing is that this is for you.”

Wen Chenxi: “For me?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Yes, I want to help you make more money.”

In the CEO’s office on the top floor, when Wen Chenxi heard these words, the corners of his mouth raised into a faint smile.

Seemingly aware of his good brother’s good mood, Zhuang Yanyu’s heart moved, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked in a low voice: “Then, am I your good brother now?”

Wen Chenxi’s smile paused—

And then drope, flattening and pursing.

The author has something to say:

PS——

Zhuang Yanyu: ? ? ? What’s wrong!

¹- It’s a bit confusing here since everything is all ‘he’, no names… not sure if this helps?

²- 摸鱼, means touching fish (I added for the sake of Xiao Yu’s name~). Bascially just means to ‘slack off’.
