The ceremony of the charity party will begin immediately, and the big figures and representatives from all walks of life on the ceremony stage have been lined up in order.

The audience was crowded with news media and reporters from the Internet platform. They watched the stage closely and were ready to take pictures and interviews.

Seeing Qiao Yang's attitude, Gu Ye was flustered and puzzled.But with a pair of eyes watching at the scene, it is indeed not an occasion for two people to chat.

And the staff has come to greet Qiao Yang and invite him to the ceremony stage.

The order in which everyone stands on the stage is prescribed.As the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Gu Ye will naturally stand in the most central position to announce the start of the charity party.

Next to Gu Ye, it was the man.

Qiao Yang clearly read the name on his tag: Yu Huai.

The two children became the protagonists at this moment, with Xiao Xu and Xiao Wang in the front row.It was right in front of Gu Ye and the man.

Qiao Yang pursed his lower lip, and when he was about to hand the two boys to the staff, Xiao Xu took his hand tighter.

The 4-year-old child was frightened by such a formal and serious scene. He dared not look up in a panic, and grabbed Qiao Yang's hand tightly and couldn't help hiding behind him.

Xiao Wang is older and more sensible.He went to pull Xiao Xu: "Xiao Xu is obedient, come here."

"...Don't."

Xiaoxu kept shook his head, his voice was immaturely crying.

Qiao Yang comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, you stand in front of Brother Xiaowang. It will be over soon, and brother is here too."

A middle-aged aunt in the audience also hurried over.She is the dean of the orphanage and has been thanking donors just now.

She smiled apologetically to the people around her, and urged her anxiously: "Xiao Xu, didn't you tell you what to do when you came. Obedient, stand with Brother Xiaowang."

After listening to the aunt's words, Xiao Xu raised his head bravely.

However, when he saw the men in black suits and white shirts under the spotlight on the stage, and the cameras facing them under the stage, the eyes of the adults with various expressions, his heart became even more serious. timid.

The wide hall, the high ceremonial table, the bright and dazzling venue, and the unfamiliar and serious faces can make a child without support feel lonely.

He wanted to find support.Grasping Qiao Yang's hand even more instinctively, with tears in his eyes, he refused to take a step forward.

The aunt and the staff were anxious, but did not dare to rush the children.The focus of the cameras of the reporters in the audience was almost on the child, and the scene would be even worse if he started to cry.

Qiao Yang squatted down helplessly, and he rubbed Xiao Xu's head.Softly comforted: "Look, brother is here. After we take the picture, brother will take you to eat delicious food, okay?"

Xiaoxu still shook his head, tears in his eyes rolling.

At this time, Gu Ye walked over, he squatted down beside Qiao Yang, looked at the child with a soft smile and asked, "Do you want to stand with this brother?"

Xiaoxu nodded.

The child's bright eyes looked at Qiao Yang with a look of expectation and dependence, and seemed to be asking: Is it okay?

Qiao Yang could not make a decision on the order of standing on the ceremony stage.He had to turn his head to look at Gu Ye.

Gu Ye rubbed Xiao Xu's head and laughed: "Okay, then you stand with Brother Yangyang. And you can still hold his hand."

Yu Huai realized something as soon as he finished his voice, and his expression changed.

The two children are the protagonists, and they must stand in the center of the front row.If the child wants to pull Qiao Yang, Qiao Yang must stand in the center.

That's where he stands now.

This position and the opportunity to talk with Gu Ye today is what he bought for tens of millions!

Now because of this child, let him and Gu Ye be close together, so the chance of getting on the headlines tomorrow is so gone?!

He immediately walked out of the line, bent over to Xiaoxu with a bright smile, and said, "Children, I am also an elder brother, do you want to stand with me?"

After speaking, he reached out and tried to pull Xiaoxu's hand.

Xiao Xugang felt relieved because he could stand with Qiao Yang.

Suddenly, a man approached him and prepared to take him away. He was so scared that he plunged into Qiao Yang's arms and shouted: "No! No! I don't want to be with you, I want to be with Yangyang brother."

The child's unintended and immature speech caused some people on the court to laugh.

Yu Huai was not interested in finding himself, and his face flushed with embarrassment under all eyes.

Gu Ye also apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, we have to adjust the order of our stand for the sake of the children. I also ask Mr. Yu to forgive me."

Gu Ye was very polite when he talked to him, and the current scene made him even less able to compete with a child for a seat.

But he was very unwilling!

The opportunity to stand side by side with Gu Ye and take pictures in the same frame to make the headlines will really never happen again!

He had no choice but to look at Qiao Yang, gritted his teeth with a hypocritical smile and said: "Young Master Qiao is really liked by children. What a blessing."

Qiao Yang also understood Gu Ye's arrangement.

He looked at Yu Huai's unwillingness, with a slight sneer on his face.Then he took Xiao Xu and walked to the very center, side by side with Gu Ye.

The back of the hand that had just stood down was touched.He instinctively turned his head to meet Gu Ye's smiling eyes.

Gu Ye rubbed Xiao Xu's head and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu is really a good boy."

There is a cunning in the eyes, and the words carry deep meaning.

Qiao Yang pursed his lips, but still did not respond to him.

He realized: Gu Ye made this arrangement on purpose.

Because of Xiaoxu's stage fright, there are many ways to arrange it.

You can let Xiaowang stand at the forefront, and Xiaoxu will wait outside with the aunt of the orphanage.You can also let him hold Xiaoxu and take pictures, there is no need to stick to the most central position.

So, Gu Ye wanted to stand with him?

Or Gu Ye didn't want to stand with Yu Huai?

With emotions and questions in his heart that he didn't understand, Qiao Yang smiled and faced the camera that kept taking pictures off the stage.

Immediately afterwards, the back of Qiao Yang's right hand was touched again, and the familiar temperature and touch immediately passed along the back of his hand.

If Gu Ye was not careful just now, it was definitely intentional this time!

He has long been accustomed to doing these small actions with Gu Ye, and he often touches Gu Ye on the initiative.

But now, the complex emotions in my heart make a small touch change different.The whole arm of the sensitive nerve stiffened, and he didn't know how to respond to Gu Ye.

This one action caused him to be absent during the whole process on the ceremonial stage, mechanically looking at the camera and reporters below with a small smile.

After the opening ceremony, the tasks of the two children were also completed.The director and staff of the orphanage brought a lot of snacks to reward Xiao Xu and Xiao Wang, and prepared to send them home.

Xiaoxu was reluctant to leave Qiao Yang, he kept looking at him with wide eyes, as if he didn't dare to say something.

Let Qiao Yang couldn't help rubbing his head to coax him: "You go back with the aunts first, and your brother will come to play with you when he is free.

Xiao Wang's thin body stood stiff, and he said to Qiao Yang with a serious expression: "...today, thank you."

After speaking, he blushed and stubbornly turned his head away from Qiao Yang.

Qiao Yang smiled and patted Xiaowang’s shoulder: "Don’t forget to pay me back. The vase is 500 yuan in total, but you can pay in installments. Call me once a month and pay me 5 yuan again. kind?"

The nine-year-old kid didn't realize Qiao Yang's intentions at all. He obeyed the order and nodded like a little man and said, "Okay."

Gu Ye smiled and asked them: "What are you going to pay back?"

Qiao Yang just looked at Xiaowang, rubbed Xiaoxu's brain from the little head, and chuckled, "This is between us, don't tell others."

Xiaowang immediately looked at Gu Ye vigilantly, promising to say, "Okay."

Gu Ye smiled on the sidelines.

The end of the ceremony was the beginning of another feast.At this moment, whether it is the dinner venue or the studio hall, there is a lot of lively voices everywhere.

Gu Ye is really busy.

When Qiao Yang saw that he wanted to talk to himself, he had to face people who came to him one after another.

When he talks to others, he always looks at him with nostalgia, as if saying: Don't go.

Qiao Yang also saw Yu Huai following Gu Ye, his eyes as slimy and hot as they were on Gu Ye.

It was another emotion that hit him that he had never experienced before, and made him breathless, who was as dull as a bunch of cotton in his throat.

His irritable whole body rushed into his brain, and there was an unknown fire in his heart, making him want to vent.He wanted to remove the unkind Yu Huai from Gu Ye.

He suddenly thought about what happened when he was a child.

A new bartender came to my brother's bar, and the bartender also called my brother Sheng.

He has an unhappy temper and also plays pranks on the bartender.Because at the time, he felt that his brother was his own.No one can call him brother anymore.

But later, after more and more people called Qiao Sheng, he gradually got used to it.

When he grew up, he understood the psychology of the time.

He was worried that others would take away the only Qiao Sheng he could rely on.

Fear that Qiao Sheng would be good to others regardless of him.

Called by others who are angry with their talents.

It is a desire for protection and possession of one's own possessions.

It is the most primitive instinct that humans and animals show when facing threats to their own interests.

But now, he actually has a possessive desire for Gu Ye.

Inadvertently, he met the eyes that Gu Ye looked over again, with a soft and concerned smile, a smile different from everyone else.

Gu Ye said that he is his only friend.

Are you taking special care of him?

What if he has other friends?

What if Yu Huai succeeds?

Will he be used to Gu Ye being good to others like he is used to being called Brother Qiao Sheng?

He was upset and gave the meeting place where Liu Wen had left.

Gu Ye looked for Qiao Yang's figure, but he looked around the lively hall but couldn't find a familiar figure.

He panicked again.

Frowning thinking about what happened to Qiao Yang today.

At the end of the party, he found Qiao Yang in the lounge.

Qiao Yang was smoking a cigarette, and a few burnt cigarette butts were poking in the ashtray on the table.

He breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and sat in front of Qiao Yang and said tentatively: "Where are you here?"

Qiao Yang bit his cigarette, looked up at him, and asked faintly: "Why are you here?"

Gu Ye said slowly, "Let's see what you are doing?"

He explained to Qiao Yang in a tentative, careful, general tone of reporting to his boss:

"I just checked out the affairs of Xiaoxu and Xiaowang. Everyone is too busy today. The director of the orphanage is also socializing with the people at the scene. No one takes care of the children for a while. Let the two get hungry and suffer. The grievances are indeed the failure of all personnel here."

"As the president, I didn't consider the overall situation, and I was wrong. Then I went to the orphanage to find two children and apologize to them personally, how about?"

Qiao Yang's attitude towards him was too abnormal tonight.

He wanted to know why Qiao Yang was unhappy.

But I have been unable to get away from socializing with others, so I sent Geng Hui to investigate as soon as possible whether Qiao Yang was on the scene.

Geng Hui contacted Liu Wen quietly, and learned that the two children were starving and scolded.

Qiao Yang looked at him cautiously and chuckled, "It's none of your business. It's not your fault."

It doesn't seem to be angry because of this.

After Gu Ye ruled out the child, he continued to explain:

"I have been busy preparing for the charity party since the afternoon. There are a lot of people and chores here. Just in case, I locked my personal phone in the drawer of the office."

"So, only now I saw the call and message you called me. I didn't call you back in time, and I didn't see the message that you are coming here, sorry."

"If I get busy in the future, I will hand over the phone to my subordinates and assistants for safekeeping, so that if you contact me, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

His lips loosened while biting the cigarette, and his sullen mood fluctuated slightly because of Gu Ye's explanation.

It turned out that the number that Gu Ye exchanged with Yu Huai was the phone he used at work, and it was the phone that he would give his assistant to answer incoming calls.

Yu Huai did not get his private number.

Also, there were so many people around at that time, how could Gu Ye tell out his private number.

Qiao Yang discovered that his heavy heart had become lighter because of Gu Ye's explanation.

It's amazing.

He laughed again: It really doesn't make sense.

Gu Ye seemed to understand something from his relaxed expression.

He said: "Even if I am busy in the future, I will never fail to return your call. Can you forgive me this time?"

Gu Ye's voice was low and soft.

There is a flattering touch in every move.

The charming and passionate peach-blossom eyes are the most easy to relax one's vigilance and sink into the eyes.

It's easy to be immersed and forget oneself by being carefully watched by such a pair of eyes.

Qiao Yang didn't dare to look any more, he rolled his eyes and looked outside and continued smoking.

Gu Ye went on to say: "You helped Wang Jiaze and the others get out of trouble in Qingshan Resort. I just knew. If I could contact you at that time, I wouldn't let you face the grown-ups alone."

"It's mine too. I'm sorry."

All faults are taken on oneself, everything is his fault.

Qiao Yang couldn't stand Gu Ye's attitude.

He said in a low voice: "It's none of your business."

Gu Ye explained: "If I have been in contact with you, I can know the situation at that time. Fortunately, those people are not pursuing it, otherwise if you are really in danger, I don't know anything."

He again apologized seriously: "It is indeed my fault."

Qiao Yang was already overwhelmed by his attitude and low posture, and he stopped: "It's none of your business. You, don't be like this..."

"and……"

Gu Ye didn't stop, he continued: "I just want to figure out why you are unhappy, so that I can know how..."

Know how to coax you.

Gu Ye said the following words silently in his heart.

Qiao Yang put out the cigarette butt: "...not because of this. It's my own business, you don't have to apologize."

Gu Ye stopped in loss.

Qiao Yang didn't say anything about him, but he was obviously still low, and he was still indifferent to him.

He had to change other topics, trying to get Qiao Yang out of the low mood.

He said: "Then let's talk about this afternoon? People like Wang Jiaze and the others will know their identity if they pay attention."

"Since that grown-up can attack them without hesitation, it means that they have absolutely crushed this group of people like Wang Jiaze and their background."

"I just heard Manager Xie say that you made conditions with them and beat one of them?"

Qiao Yang nodded.

Gu Ye helplessly said, "You, fortunately you are fine."

Qiao Yang asked strangely: "Why? Are they good?"

Gu Ye smiled again.

All night, Qiao Yang was finally willing to speak more than ten words to him.

He patiently explained: "The only one I know of such a powerful person in city A is the Su family. The name they call Cheng Ge should be: Su Cheng."

Qiao Yang: "Su Cheng? Who is it?"

Gu Ye: "The Su family is a well-known family in the art world. They have produced several famous calligraphers and painters for several generations. The current generation is called Su Jing."

"Su Jing is now in his fifties, unmarried and single. However, four years ago he suddenly announced that he had a son who had been raised outside, called Su Cheng."

Folk rumors and vulgar things always arouse people's curiosity, Qiao Yang stopped seriously.

Gu Ye continued to tell him, "It's not surprising that there is an illegitimate child raised outside. But what happened after that has caused constant speculation in the world."

"Because the Su family, known as calligrapher and painter since ancient times, has risen rapidly in the past four years because of the arrival of Su Cheng, making it the largest company in the country and even a large-scale export trade company in the world."

"Furthermore, their foreign trade industries are oil, gold, silver and other resource commodities and rare metals. You must know that this kind of industry is difficult to do without extensive contacts and strong support."

"More probably because his business is foreign trade, Su Cheng rarely interacts with us, and he acts low-key, so rumors about him are rarely found in the circle."

Qiao Yang saw him become solemn, and smiled: "So, is it strange that there are few rumors?"

Gu Ye: "For example, we will all deliberately control some of the online comments about us, but some personal information can still be found online. But Su Cheng’s news can’t be found at all. He is like a character who appeared out of thin air. ."

Qiao Yang: "Is it so mysterious?"

Gu Ye: "The mystery also shows that he has power. There is no way to find out what kind of power is hidden behind Su Cheng. Anyway, we'd better not provoke such a person."

Speaking of this, Gu Ye asked him: "Did you report your name to his men?"

Qiao Yang hummed.

Gu Ye helplessly, with a slightly worried and blamed tone, said:

"You, you shouldn't care about Wang Jiaze and the others. Those gangsters should be taught a few times and have a long memory."

"Now that those people know your identity, they ignored it at the time, and they were not sure what they would do with you in the future."

Qiao Yang looked at Gu Ye's worry and couldn't help but smile: "It shouldn't. Those people won't be so stingy, and I think adults should be good."

"Those people often go to the Qingshan Resort and have never looked for anything, but the way they punish Wang Jiaze is somewhat of a feeling of eliminating evil and promoting good."

Qiao Yang finally laughed, and was willing to talk more with him.

But he was boasting other men.

Gu Ye was happy, but not a taste.

He wants to reach out and rub Qiao Yang’s head, but he still doesn’t know why Qiao Yang is unhappy.

After finally coaxing it a little better, it will be finished if you make people feel better.

I held it under the palm and held it again, finally holding back.

He smiled and asked, "Do you think the other person is good? Did you see him?"

Qiao Yang: "No, I guessed it by intuition."

Yu Huai came over, and he saw two people who were immersed in chatting from a distance outside.

Qiao Yang was dangling a cigarette, indifferently cold.And Gu Ye looked at him carefully with flattering, concern, and other things in his eyes.

Yu Huai clasped his hands unwillingly.

In this event, he donated 50 million yuan, becoming the largest donor in this charity event.

Therefore, he had the opportunity to share the stage with Gu Ye and get his affirmation.

This evening, he was working hard to speak to Gu Ye and show his company and personal strength.

Gu Ye was very polite and polite to him.But this is one of the ways to keep your distance while being polite.

He didn't even get Gu Ye's private mobile phone number now.And as soon as the party tonight is over, he will never have the chance to see Gu Ye again.

He gritted his teeth and walked in and said with a smile: "Gu, Master Qiao, so you are here? What are you talking about?"

Qiao Yang raised his head in disgust upon hearing this voice.

He looked at Yu Huai who came in, and the mood that had just calmed down was stirred up again.

Gu Ye: "Isn't the dinner over? Mr. Yu hasn't left yet?"

Yu Huai: "I want to talk more with Mr. Gu, we just talked half way..."

"Sorry."

Gu Ye: "I'm talking about something with Qiao Yang, it's not very convenient now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ye felt that his calf was kicked by someone next to him.

It was Qiao Yang who was kicking him.

Gu Ye liked Qiao Yang's little moves very much, and he looked at him slightly in surprise.

Qiao Yang's expression was faint, with no sense of happiness or anger, with a cigarette in his mouth, and asked, "Is there a fire?"

He tilted his head slightly, raised Qingjun's face, and looked domineering and cute with a arrogant look.

Gu Ye's eyes were soft, but he looked at the ashtray helplessly, and softly persuaded him, "How many have you smoked?"

Qiao Yang let out a "tsk", his brows condensed with impatience, and Dan Feng's cold and indifferent expression was threatening.

Gu Ye was originally coaxing people, but he hasn't done it yet, let alone daring to mess with people. He had to laugh, "Okay, but this is the last one."

Gu Ye took out the lighter from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Yang.

Qiao Yang didn't answer, and turned his head to look at him with a cigarette in his mouth, and motioned to let him come by himself.

After Gu Ye froze for a moment, he turned on the lighter very pretentiously. After the soft flame jumped out, he took it to Qiao Yang's face with one hand, carefully lighting the cigarette butt in Qiao Yang's lips.

Qiao Yang also turned sideways slightly, and his whole body moved towards Gu Ye.

Gu Ye's hand was very close to his cheek, and he could clearly feel the familiar temperature on the back of Gu Ye's hand.

He deliberately moved further forward, rubbing his side cheek against the back of Gu Ye's hand protecting the flame.

There was a flash of fire in the tobacco, and the lit cigarette butts stained the white paper with a burnt color.

Qiao Yang sat up straight now.

He slowly spit out a thin puff of smoke, and the curling white smoke spread out in front of him, making his cold and stern face appear more clearly.

He raised his chin slightly, and the light from the end of his eyes swept towards Yu Huai obliquely, and asked coldly, "What is your name? What are you doing here?"

His complexion seemed indifferent, but his consistent movements and demeanor were quite provocative.

Yu Huai's smile froze when Gu Ye lit Qiao Yang's cigarette.

He guessed the relationship between Gu Ye and Qiao Yang, but didn't want to give up.He was standing next to them now, seeing their movements and expressions clearly.

Qiao Yang's willful and domineering appearance is obviously a declaration of sovereignty.

But Gu Ye indulged him so much, cooperated with him, and even took kindness and concern.

I learned from him that the Gu Ye I saw was not alone.

Neither of them said anything to him, but he already felt a great humiliation.His efforts and efforts tonight seemed so ridiculous and self-defeating.

He didn't even have the strength to hold his hands tightly, and the words he said were trembling and daunting: "...no, nothing more, you talk."

After speaking, he fled.
