Cheng Lang looked at Gu Yong expressionlessly. Qin Mu also looked over with an expressionless face.

Gu Yong also reacted belatedly. He didn't need to show such a guilty conscience.

"We just met at the toilet door and exchanged a few words." Gu Yong explained, "I asked him to get an employee pass and drive directly to the employee parking space when he goes to work. Don't go through the underground parking lot to avoid hitting the guests' cars."

Gu Yong thought he explained it very clearly, "By the way, remind him to write the crosstalk script for the birthday banquet as early as possible. Don't let Mr. Qin and Brother Chen down."

Hearing Gu Yong's words, Chu Suiyi was the first to react, looking at Cheng Lang with a smile, "You dare to drive your broken Wuling into a pile of luxury cars? You are very confident in yourself!"

Cheng Lang looked at the man who was talking. He was handsome, with a romantic temperament and a sense of careless superiority between his eyebrows. Wearing a white suit on such a cold day—

Cheng Lang blinked and smiled, "I am very confident in my driving skills. I drive very steadily."

Qin Mu looked at Cheng Lang silently. Thinking of what he heard in the bathroom last night.

Driving is indeed very stable.

Noticing Mr. Qin's scrutiny, Cheng Lang moved his feet and made way for the bathroom door, "Mr. Qin is going to the bathroom?"

"No." Qin Mu said. Pausing for a moment, as if explaining, "The VIP box has its own bathroom."

So what? Cheng Lang blinked, not quite understanding what Mr. Qin meant by this.

But he didn't notice the shocked expressions of the people behind him after Qin Mu opened his mouth.

As a taciturn and overbearing president, Qin Mu never likes to waste words on irrelevant matters. His employees and partners understand this very well. Even in the shareholders' meetings and company meetings where every second counts, Qin Mu tries to be concise and to the point when answering questions raised by shareholders and work approvals from department managers. Unless it is necessary for work and socializing, people often don't hear Qin Mu say a word all day. But now he can respond to Cheng Lang with so many words on irrelevant issues.

Excluding all impossible factors, even if everyone is unbelievable, they have to admit that according to their understanding of Qin Mu, in Qin Mu's scope of consciousness, either this sentence is not irrelevant, or the person who asked this sentence is not an irrelevant person.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang obviously didn't know what these people were thinking. He felt the surroundings get hot as if even the air were thinning.

Cheng Lang was a little confused. But he didn't care. He looked at Mr. Qin, thought about it, and said with a smile, "Then we are quite predestined."

Cheng Lang grew up in an orphanage. When other people of his age were still acting coquettishly and getting angry with their parents, Cheng Lang had already started to mix in society. He was good at observing people's words and expressions, and his ability to deal with people was not to say that he had practiced ten times ten, but he was definitely very good at dealing with people. He was very sensitive to the fact that Qin Mu himself did not seem to be disgusted with him. So he shamelessly tried to establish a relationship with the big boss, "Boss Qin went to the bathroom on the second floor several times, and I ran into him every time."

Is it fate?

Qin Mu looked at Cheng Lang thoughtfully and remained silent.

Chu Suiyi looked at his childhood friend in shock. He could see that Cheng Lang was forcing a relationship, so there was no reason why Qin Mu couldn't see it. But why did Qin Mu react like this and have such an expression?

Could it be that Qin Mu really wanted to keep a lover who drove a Wuling Hongguang and loved crosstalk?

This is too absurd!

"Between you and Mr. Qin, you two..."

Obviously, many people have the same idea as Chu Suiyi. After Mr. Qin left, Gu Yong looked at Cheng Lang with a tangled face, hesitating to say, "What on earth did you do in the bathroom on the second floor?"

"What else can you do in the bathroom?" Cheng Lang glanced at Gu Yong, "Of course, it's to meet physiological needs."

Gu Yong's expression became even more tangled.

Cheng Lang saw Gu Yong's expression and realized that his words were ambiguous, so he immediately explained, "Don't think too much. The relationship between me and Mr. Qin is not what you think."

Gu Yong looked at Cheng Lang steadily and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

Cheng Lang: "..."

Cheng Lang blinked guiltily. He hoped that if Mr. Qin learned about this one day, he would not blame him. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame his own employees for their poor understanding ability and their love of gossip.

"... Gossip is human nature. I have never met a person who is not gossipy. So-called gossip is nothing but human curiosity." 

In the bright and clean office, instructor Meng Haiyang approved Cheng Lang's leave note while asking, "You said you are an orphan who doesn't even know your biological parents, how can you know who your grandfather is? And you want to ask for leave to celebrate your grandfather's birthday? Why don't I believe it?" 

"Could it be that you think the old man is old and easy to fool, and you are going to cheat the old man's inheritance?"

"What are you talking about? We are all familiar with each other, and I will report you to Dean Liang if you say something nonsense." Cheng Lang put away the leave note and threatened with a smile.

"That's all you can do." Meng Haiyang rolled his eyes in anger, "You've only known how to complain to my mom since you were little. But my mom is so soft-hearted that she can't see your evil intentions."

"I urged you not to fall in love too early, not to skip classes to play games online, and not to get too close to gangsters. How can this be called evil intentions?" Cheng Lang said, "With your little tricks if I hadn't been entrusted by Dean Liang to keep a close watch on you, you would have become a social idler long ago."

"Yo yo yo, you're panting even when I say you're fat." Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang unconvinced, "Why can't I do what you can do? You're so much younger than me!"

Cheng Lang sneered at Meng Haiyang's doubts. A person's IQ has nothing to do with age. If a person has a hole in his head, he is doomed to be a hole even if he lives to be eighty. In Cheng Lang's opinion, Meng Haiyang is such a person.

Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang with some complicated feelings. Meng Haiyang's mother is Liang Shuyi, the director of the orphanage in City X. Meng Haiyang has been without a father since he was a child and lived with his mother. But Meng Haiyang felt that he had not felt much maternal love. Because Liang Shuyi's mind was obviously on the orphanage. She treated the children in the orphanage better than her own children.

Cheng Lang, because of his beautiful appearance, good study, and sweet mouth, received much attention from Director Liang. In Meng Haiyang's eyes, he was naturally one of the culprits who competed with him for maternal love. When Meng Haiyang was a child, he was a middle school student for some time. He hung out with the gangsters outside the school every day, skipped school, fought, and fell in love early, hoping to win his mother's attention. 

However, he did not expect that his struggles not only failed to attract his mother's attention but also became a stepping stone for Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang gained the trust of Dean Liang by reporting him in front of him. He also moved from the orphanage to Dean Liang's home, forcing Meng Haiyang to help him with his homework every day, and stayed until Meng Haiyang finished the college entrance examination.

"...I finally got into college, and before I could enjoy a few years of leisure, you got into this school. But this time, it's finally my turn to keep an eye on you!" Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang with a gloating look, "You have to be careful in this school in the future. If you skip classes, don't go to bed, and don't let me catch you. Otherwise, I will—"

"What else can you do?" Cheng Lang looked at Meng Haiyang leisurely, "Can you find someone to complain?"

Meng Haiyang: "..."

Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang's expression and suddenly felt tired, "Forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with you. Do you want to go home this weekend? My mother always misses you!"

"Let's talk about it later." Cheng Lang said perfunctorily. He is not the original body. For the characters in the book outside the plot, especially those who have close contact with the original body, Cheng Lang does not want to have too much contact. He still remembered that in the original novel, the original body used Meng Haiyang to make things difficult for Shen Huaiyu. As a result, Lu Chengxuan was enraged and took revenge. Meng Haiyang's end was tragic.

"Stop talking!" Meng Haiyang said carelessly, "My mother was tidying up things at home two days ago and found the little clothes you wore when you were sent to the orphanage. My mother said that she had to give it to you, in case you need it in the future?"

"What use can it be?" Cheng Lang sneered, "Things that have been around for so many years, don't worry about lice. Throw it away."

"Hey, you!" Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang and asked curiously, "Don't you want to find your biological parents?"

Cheng Lang really didn't plan to do that, "Unless the other party is a billionaire and asks me to go back and inherit the family property before he dies."

Cheng Lang said and stood up to say goodbye.

Meng Haiyang looked at Cheng Lang's back and shook his head.

Grandpa Qin's birthday is on November 11, Monday. Cheng Lang asked for leave from the instructor. The next afternoon, I waited at the school gate for someone to pick me up.

The car that came to pick Cheng Lang up was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was all black, and its shape was like flowing water, which was particularly beautiful.

Cheng Lang whistled while standing on the street. Just as he was about to compliment, the car window rolled down, revealing Qin Mu's overly handsome and expressionless face.

The whistle stopped abruptly. Cheng Lang touched his nose and got into the car, smiling and saying, "Boss Qin came to pick me up in person. I'm really flattered."

Qin Mu didn't say anything. He just looked at Cheng Lang quietly.

It's early winter. The weather is particularly cold. Cheng Lang wore a warm black down jacket on the outside and a well-cut black suit three-piece suit on the inside. When he didn't speak, he really had the temperament of a gentle and handsome workplace elite.

—In fact, when he first received the clothes, Cheng Lang was also a little surprised. He thought that Brother Wang would make him a long gown for crosstalk. But he didn't expect that after he got it, it turned out to be a black suit.

"Not bad." Qin Mu's eyes moved away from Cheng Lang and returned to the documents spread out on his knees.

Cheng Lang was stunned for a moment before he realized that Qin Mu was just complimenting his clothes.

"It's all because of the good benefits of the company." Cheng Lang smiled and expressed his loyalty, "I will definitely work hard and perform crosstalk well. I will definitely not embarrass White Jade Capital."

Qin Mu didn't say anything else.

The car suddenly fell into silence.

The car drove at a steady speed and soon left the city. After about half an hour, it went up a winding mountain road.

Cheng Lang looked at the scenery outside, which was getting higher and higher, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Old Master Qin going to celebrate his birthday?"

"Qin Family Villa." Assistant Hu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, said, "A hot spring villa on the top of the mountain. Old Master Qin has lived here for health preservation in recent years."

Cheng Lang looked at the winding mountain road outside, which was getting higher and higher. He smiled and said, "It seems that this Old Master Qin is also a master!"
