The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 253 We must promote positive energy!

"Hey, Jian Xi, why did you call just now? Why did you hang up suddenly again?"

In the office, not long after Nan Xiang left, Jian Xi received a call from Gu Li.

"I made a mistake by slipping my hand."

"Wrong number?" Gu Li's voice was full of doubt. "Are you trying to find Lin Xiao? Or do you want to ask me about Lin Xiao's situation?"

Jian Xi's affair with two women and his sudden breakup raised many doubts among his good friends.

What exactly does Jian Xi want?
Do you think he is innocent?
He cheated... Well, it seemed that it was because Lin Xiao "let him down" first, so he might have cheated out of revenge, but in any case, he was no longer the innocent and perfect boyfriend he used to be.

You say he is a scumbag?

He broke up with both Lin Xiao and Lin Quan directly, leaving himself naked and without any worries.

If the two women had initiated the breakup, they would still be able to understand it, after all, it could be considered a punishment for him.

The strange thing is that Jian Xi took the initiative to divide it.

Could it be that Jian Xi was punishing himself out of guilt?
Is he really that great?
Jian Xi smiled after hearing what Gu Li said. Although he did not specifically ask Gu Yuan to keep it a secret when they were drinking together before, he thought that this good brother still knew his limits.

But maybe they also think that his wing theory is just a joke. After all, who would take such a thing seriously?
Moreover, he was not worried even if Gu Yuan told others. Not to mention who would believe it, he really had his wings cut off. Besides, many things had to be played out in the open. Sooner or later, it didn't matter much given the current situation.

So Jian Xi asked in a low voice: "Is Lin Xiao okay?"

Hearing his words, Gu Li said unhappily on the phone: "She's fine. She's in great shape and eats delicious food."

"That's good, I won't bother you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Xi hung up the phone.

"..."

On the other side, Gu Li stood there in a daze, looking at the hung up call. Just hung up like that?
Judging from the tone, Jian Xi was really hurt?
Everything I said just now was a lie!
However, Jian Xi's reaction still surprised her a little, as if the other party was really guilty.

Could it be that this is really Jian Xi's punishment for himself?
So after thinking for a moment, Gu Li called Jian Xi again.

"Hey, Gu Li, is there anything else?"

"Jian Xi, I was actually lying to you just now. Lin Xiao hasn't been eating or sleeping well recently, and he's become thin because of hunger."

Gu Li continued to tell lies in turn.

It’s not too false. Lin Xiao has indeed been a little depressed recently, but it hasn’t reached this point.

After all, Jian Xi didn't reject her and choose Lin Quan, but both of them were rejected, so she didn't feel inferior to the other one, but because of this, Lin Xiao was also confused.

The reason why she often daydreamed and was distracted recently was that she couldn't understand why Jian Xi did this.

Listening to Gu Li's words, Jian Xi on the phone continued to reply in a depressed tone: "I am sorry for her, I hope she can see things more clearly."

"Uh..." Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Why did you guys do this? Everyone in the world makes mistakes, and everyone should have a chance to be forgiven. Isn't it enough for you to correct your mistakes once you know them?"

Gu Li calmly told Jian Xi the words she had said to forgive herself. She had also said the same thing to Lin Xiao before.

It was because of Xi Cheng's incident, and she told it while crying in front of Lin Xiao.

Jian Xi's voice came again on the phone: "I can't forgive myself."

"..." Gu Li took a deep breath. Why did these words sound like a slap in her face?
"So... you really don't plan to get back together with Lin Xiao?"

"If love is destined." Jian Xi paused for a moment, and then continued, "Two people who truly love each other will never be separated."

……

On the other side, inside the "ME" company.

The company's president and editor-in-chief Gong Ming is having a video call with his beloved old father in the office.

Well, respect and love, but respect is greater than love.

"No matter what, you must take down Shenggu Group."

On the computer, an old man with a Western face named Gong Zixun gave instructions calmly, but his Mandarin was not standard and had the awkwardness of the usual foreigners speaking Mandarin.

Gong Xun nodded respectfully. This matter has long been one of the most important things for the Gong family.

Moreover, he is already halfway through the negotiation with Gu Li. As long as he defeats Ye Chuanping, Sheng Gu will be in his pocket.

“So what’s our bottom line price?”

"Eight hundred million. The maximum we can give is eight hundred million." said Mr. Gong.

Gong Ming's expression changed slightly, and he asked doubtfully, "The valuation of Shenggu Group is only 530 million. Is it too much to raise it to 800 million?"

"Stupid!" The old father's tone became serious, "Are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare."

Gong Ming, who has always been arrogant in "ME", couldn't help but lower his head. Facing this father, he never dared to disobey him.

At this time, Mr. Gong in the computer said in a cold voice: "The importance of Shenggu Group is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Even if Gu Yansheng's daughter wants to sell it at a premium, we can accept it. There is only one requirement, we must take over Shenggu."

"Yes!"

Gong Ming nodded again and agreed respectfully.

Then he remembered something and asked anxiously, "Father, Chongguang..."

"The death countdown plan continues to be implemented."

This time, Gong Xun's tone was even more decisive and firm than before, and to Gong Ming's ears it sounded like the knock of death on the door.

But he did not object, just nodded in agreement.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after his old father hung up the video call.

He drank some water to calm himself, but then his expression became lonely again.

The death countdown plan that my father mentioned was naturally not the small matter of making money from the "Death Diary" before, but another big thing.

But the price to pay for this matter was the life of his good brother Zhou Chongguang.

A true countdown to death requires death.

……

At the end of November, at Jianxi’s home in JA District.

Ever since he started setting up his stall in Pudong, he rarely comes back here.

He was afraid of running into the two girls directly. After all, he deliberately left the key with them.

Speaking of it, the so-called breakup of this bitch man actually seems to be just a joke, otherwise who would not end anything after breaking up?

Won’t the contact information be blocked?

Shouldn’t you unfollow and block people on social media platforms?

Don't you want to sort out your own things?
What kind of breakup is it if you don't do these?
As for the so-called fate, the keys are in the hands of the two girls, the door has been open all the time, and the bastard has not moved out. Doesn't that mean the two girls can meet whenever they want?

It's more of a matter of luck than of fate.

When Lin Xiao took the key to open the door, he was surprised to find that there was someone else at home.

Seeing the noise in the kitchen, Lin Xiao said with a trembling voice: "Jian Xi, are you in there?" "Crash!"

The sliding door of the kitchen was opened, and Lin Quan walked out: "It's me."

Lin Xiao's face froze, and he nodded disappointedly: "It's you."

"What's with that expression and tone?" Lin Quan rolled his eyes. "You look like you're very disappointed."

Not seeing Jian Xi, Lin Xiao immediately lost interest. After putting her bag on the sofa, she replied, "Yeah, you said it as if you weren't disappointed to see Jian Xi wasn't at home when you came."

"..."

Lin Quan pursed his lips when he heard that, snorted, and turned back to the kitchen: "You came at a good time, tell me what you want to eat, I just bought some vegetables."

Lin Xiao, who hadn't been here for a while, took a quick look around the house and finally sighed helplessly, "Whatever, your bottom is delicious too."

As she was talking, she followed him into the kitchen. Seeing a pile of chopped pork belly on the chopping board and a processed fish in the pond, she couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why did you buy so many vegetables?"

"What can I do? Eat!"

Lin Quan didn't stop his movements and continued to ask, "Why did you come here today?"

"Come and have a look when you remember."

There were only two women at home, and Lin Quan didn't ask her to wait outside for dinner. It would be nice to have someone to chat with her.

Lin Xiao had the same idea. After looking around, she found a small stool and sat next to Lin Quan to help her pick vegetables.

During this period, Lin Xiao returned to live with Gu Li, while Lin Quan returned to the school dormitory. Although the two could no longer see each other when they opened their eyes in the morning and closed their eyes at night like before, they still kept in touch occasionally.

They also contacted Jian Xi individually, but the other party's response to them was "I'm sorry".

The group chat of “the three of us” also fell silent.

In fact, the breakup that night would have been meaningless if Jian Xi had only asked for it unilaterally.

But to say that Jian Xi dumped them seems too one-sided.

Apart from the bullshit "fate" that the bastard said, who can be sure that the two women didn't feel a little relieved at that time?
Just like when Lin Xiao first saw Lin Quan coming back from Jian Xi in a daze and hugged her crying, didn't she feel a bit of pity?
Of course, it is definitely impossible to say that this little bit of "unbearability" can compare to the feelings they have with Jian Xi, but it will more or less cause a slight change in the mentality of the two girls.

At least, now two women who share the same suffering can still sit together for dinner.

Apart from chatting about Jian Xi for a while while cooking, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention this matter again, otherwise no one would be in the mood to eat.

Lin Quan was talking about his recent graduation project, while Lin Xiao was complaining about things at the company. Recently, the conflict between his best friend Gu Li and his boss Gong Ming was getting more and more intense.

She even saw Gu Li come to "ME" while at work!
She didn't even know who to serve first when pouring coffee for them!
Lin Xiao felt that he was really overwhelmed.

At the table, the two girls chatted while eating. When they were almost done, Lin Xiao suddenly asked, "Aren't you going back to school today?"

"No, I'm staying here tonight, what about you?"

Lin Xiao glanced at the night outside the window, then said, "I live here too."

……

It was still light a few hours ago when Lin Xiao went to Jian Xi's house.

The bad man is asking Lin Xiao’s best friend Nan Xiang to dance for him in Pudong.

"Dancing, here?"

Nan Xiang stood in Jian Xi's office, looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong here?" Jian Xi smiled, "You will have to dance on the street in the future!"

"On the street?!"

Nan Xiang's pupils suddenly trembled, and she said anxiously: "How can this be possible? I..."

"Why not?"

Jian Xi asked back: "Then tell me where you want to jump?"

"..." Nan Xiang's expression froze, and then she said awkwardly, "On the stage."

"Haha, it's all the same, life is a stage everywhere." The dog man said with a smile.

He knew that Nan Xiang had no stage shyness. She had performed on stage with Gu Li and the others in middle school, and she actually enjoyed the spotlight.

But the stage is the stage, and the street is the street. After hearing Jian Xi say this, Nan Xiang looked uncomfortable.

"This is different."

Nan Xiang pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Same thing. You've heard of flash mobs, right? Just think of this as a street flash mob."

Jian Xi said with a smile. Seeing Nan Xiang wanted to complain, he immediately put on a serious face and said in a emotionless voice: "I am not discussing this with you. I have already given in on the clothes. You have to do whatever I say about the rest of the things!"

Seeing this, Nan Xiang pursed her lips and swallowed her words.

At this time, Jian Xi looked at the time and nodded to Nan Xiang: "Okay, let's talk about this later. First, dance the dance you know now for me."

"it is good."

Nan Xiang was always reluctant, but now the situation was stronger than she was, so she had to nod and agree.

Fortunately, it was already time to get off work, otherwise she would be extremely embarrassed if seen by others.

The office was quite spacious. Jian Xi leaned back in his chair and waited for Nan Xiang to get ready. To be honest, except for the time when he made Nan Xiang cry, he basically didn't pay much attention to her during this period.

After all, he is not only in contact with Nan Xiang now.

In the past few days, several internet celebrities he had contacted before have confirmed their contract relationships with him.

These people are really short of money, and the signing fee given by Jian Xi is already worth it for them. There are also many more people he had contacted before who are still considering it.

Jian Xi certainly understood what they were worried about, but this kind of thing could not be rushed for the time being. He had to wait until he built the network matrix.

As for Nan Xiang, she needs to be used to try her hand.

Nan Xiang was already prepared, but when she saw Jian Xi sitting on the chair opposite and looking at her, she felt her hands and feet become stiff.

The accompaniment music on the phone has started playing. While waiting for the beat, Nan Xiang keeps taking deep breaths to relax herself and recalls the movements she learned before.

She waited until the rhythm was right before she moved.

I have to say that Nan Xiang has put in a lot of effort during this period. Although her movements were stiff at the beginning, she quickly adapted to the new style.

Jian Xi had played a friendly match with a foreign dance teacher before. At that time, he also learned dance from that teacher, thinking that learning one more skill might give him an extra meal in the future.

But he studied hip-hop, and he saw that the music in front of Nan Xiang was jazz.

only……

After a while, Nan Xiang stopped panting, and then looked at Jian Xi with a smug look on her face. She did not waste the money she spent on signing up for dance lessons!

"Okay, that's enough. I just need to see if you have enough coordination."

Anyway, it’s enough to be a rocker.

"But..." The dog man changed the subject, "Can you please not use such a flirty look when you dance? I say again, our company should promote positive energy!"
