Chapter 17 Getting Started

An old friend is usually a very profound word.

It can express different meanings in different contexts.For example, Shen Yuwei and Gu Zezhao could be considered old friends.Shen Yu looked at An Zening's attentiveness to Lin Weibo, and guessed that the relationship between the two might not be that simple.

If it was in the past, Shen Yuwei would definitely not be able to help asking about it, and then make fun of them.But now he is too busy to take care of himself, and he is not in the mood to pay attention to the love of other people's children.

For the next week, Shen Yuwei was thinking about this matter, so he couldn't help asking Xu Tan's opinion.

"If you seriously want to do this job, I advise you to go." Xu Tan said on the other end of the phone, "Because you are a complete layman, and I don't have any high skills, so I don't know if you are talented."

The word "talent" is too heavy for Shen Yuwei, he didn't answer, but said: "I will think about it again."

Xu Tan smiled over there: "What else are you thinking about? Such a good thing is really rare, and your roommate's friend is quite interesting. And the company is not a small business, so don't worry about getting caught."

In response, Shen Yu's mind froze for some reason, and he uttered a sentence directly from his mouth: "How are you and Gu Zezhao?"

Xu Tan stood there for a few seconds, hesitating, "...how about what?"

Shen Yu let out a cough, "Just... is it okay?"

Xu Tan was silent for a moment, and said: "...what else can I do, just like that." He paused, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

In order to scratch his head, Shen Yu rolled around on the bed, changed several positions, and hesitated: "If I contact him, will you have any objection?"

Xu Tan: "What's your opinion?"

"Just... like being jealous... or something."

"Huh? Why should I eat—oh! You can do whatever you want, I don't mind." Xu Tan said, "You can do whatever you want to him, and you don't have to worry about it at all on my side."

Shen Yu was wondering why the other party said that suddenly, Xu Tan said immediately: "I have something to do right now, so I'll hang up first. Bye!"

In order to take a look at the interface where the phone was hung up, Shen Yu thought to himself, do you really not care about this reaction at all?

Gu Zezhao is a very special existence to Shen Yuwei.This is especially reflected in various aspects. For example, even after the breakup, it's okay if I didn't see each other. After meeting, Shen Yuwei couldn't help but pay attention to the other party, and then raised an argument.

But now, before making an important choice, he wants to listen to Gu Zezhao's advice.This may also be because Gu Zezhao is the only insider.

This emotion is very contradictory, Gu Zezhao is his ex-boyfriend, and the two broke up not happily.After a few years now, the two are not only rivals in love, but also his creditors, yet they can already sit down and talk calmly without having to lift the table, which is quite unbelievable for Shen Yu.

Although he felt that it was silly for him to call and ask Gu Zezhao for advice, he still did it.He picked an opponent, and probably hit him during the rest time.

The call was quickly connected, and Gu Zezhao's voice was a little low: "Hello."

"Uh, it's me." Shen Yu was a little nervous for unknown reasons, "Shen Yu is."

"I know, what's the matter?"

"Are you free to come out for a drink this weekend?" In order to change the state of rolling left and right on the bed just now, Shen Yu is sitting upright at the moment, like a primary school student obediently listening to a class.

"I don't touch alcohol recently." Gu Zezhao said.

"Huh?" Shen Yu was taken aback, "Then...to the coffee shop?"

"Don't go."

Because of being rejected one after another, Shen Yu felt a little frustrated, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to have any contact with me, you can just say so."

Gu Zezhao sighed softly over there: "I didn't mean that."

Shen Yuwei didn't answer.

"Well, how about you come to my house on Saturday afternoon?" Gu Zezhao said.

Shen Yuwei thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this proposal—not to mention that he could save a lot of money by going to Gu Zezhao's house, and only had to pay for the fare.This couldn't be better for his tight situation, so he agreed.

When having dinner with Lin Weibai at night, Shen Yuwei told him about it.

"You went to him for advice?" Lin Weibo seemed a little surprised.

Shen Yuwei nodded.

"What's your relationship with him?" Lin Weibo said, "I value his opinion so much."

"I just think that sometimes his opinions are more sharp..." Shen Yu mixed scrambled eggs with rice, "He and I... can be considered old friends."

"Can it be considered?" Lin Weibo, as always, accurately grasped the main points.

Shen Yuwei just smiled and did not explain further.Lin Weibo didn't ask any further questions, he just patted Shen Yu on the shoulder, with an appearance of understanding him, and then said: "Actually, you don't need to rush to make a decision, An Zening, then I can ask him to delay it for you for a few days."

"No need." Shen Yu said, "Thank you, Weibo."

Lin Weibai smiled, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks after eating, and said as he walked to the kitchen: "No, just wash the dishes properly."

Shen Yu shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and finished the meal with a few mouthfuls.

There was a light rain on Saturday morning, and Shen Yu looked at the window several times worriedly, hoping that it would at least stop in the afternoon, but unexpectedly the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Shen Yuwei doesn't like rainy days very much.

Rainy days are always gray, which makes him depressed, and the last thing he needs now is depression.Even if he is calm in front of people and smiles in a timely manner, only he knows how difficult it is to be alone late at night.The pain seemed to be engraved in his soul, whipping him all the time, making him toss and turn.

I have already made an appointment, and I have to go even if I cut the knife.The rain was pouring down, Shen Yu hesitated for a long time in front of the bus station, but still couldn't grit his teeth to get a taxi, so he still chose the bus.

By the time Shen Yuwei stood downstairs in the apartment and pressed the door number of Gu Zezhao's house, he was already soaked through.

I hope he still has my old clothes at home.Shen Yuwei thought without hope.

Yet the truth is no.

Shen Yuwei appeared in front of Gu Zezhao with his whole body wet, and before he had time to say anything, he was rushed to take a bath by the other party. When he came out, Gu Zezhao handed him a set of underwear that was obviously not his style.

"I haven't worn it yet, you can put it on." Gu Zezhao said.

Because the other party's expression was too ordinary, and the clothes did not show traces of wearing, Shen Yu didn't refuse the other party's kindness.

When he changed his clothes and came out, Gu Zezhao was already waiting for him in the study.Shen Yu was holding hot tea, not knowing where to start.Gu Zezhao was not in a hurry to urge him, but dealt with his own affairs.

The rain showed no signs of decreasing in the slightest, and the raindrops slapped on the window glass by the wind, leaving transparent traces like tear stains.

"Is it okay for you to do your company's affairs in front of me like this?" Shen Yu asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll peek at the secrets or something?"

Gu Zezhao glanced at him, and instead showed him the title of the document, only to see that there were four big words on it: Speech at the Reception.

Shen Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea resentfully, before he said, "Don't you ask me why I came to see you?"

"Have you decided to go to training?" Gu Zezhao asked.

"How do you know?" Shen Yuwei's eyes widened.

Gu Zezhao just shook his head: "Tell me what you think?"
