Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 24 Your brother is a little angry
Coming out of the conference room, Xu Jiayan immediately said something was wrong and took out his cell phone to send a message to Lin Lu.

Ding Zitong squinted at him: "So what's going on? Who is Duan Chengyu? Male or female? Why do you and Pei Yizhou have irregular heartbeats when talking about him/her?"

Xu Jiayan said as he tipped off the girl, "My sister had just returned two days ago when Lao Pei asked me to look up Duan Chengyu. There was no specific name, only the pronunciation. He didn't tell me why he was looking, and he asked me if I knew this person. At the time, I thought he was in the same industry as you."

After sending the message, the other party did not reply immediately. He put down the phone and sighed and continued, "It turned out to be the boss of an offshore outsourcing information company. But I really don't know what's so special about this person. It happened that my sister came to apply for employment that day. I was busy receiving customers and was afraid that I would forget it, so I entrusted the message to her and asked her to remember to go back and tell her brother... Who knew that she didn't say it at all!"

Ding Zitong really wanted to criticize him for talking for so long without getting to the point.

"So whether it's a boy or a girl, what's the relationship?"

Xu Jiayan spread his hands: "A man. I don't know their relationship."

"..."

"But! But you can tell something is wrong just by looking at Old Pei's reaction! He asked us to investigate Duan Chengyu, who knows if he has anything to do with our sister, and Lin Lu also hid the news about Duan Chengyu from him. What do you think he is thinking now?"

"I don't know what he is thinking, but I know exactly what I am thinking - I will bring six robots to scrape off the wall of your office and your lips." Ding Zitong sneered.

Xu Jiayan: "Think about it with your brain that has experienced love! He must be furious now. He wants to ask our sister what the relationship between her and Duan Chengyu is, and then use his fist to smash Duan Chengyu from the road to the subway line 2."

As he was talking, he just reached the elevator entrance and punched the elevator button: "See? It's a hundred times more powerful than this."

"...If Pei Yizhou becomes friends with you, his IQ and reputation will drop a hundred times for no reason." Ding Zitong rolled his eyes and stepped into the elevator.

She said that people working in sales will go crazy sooner or later.

Xu Jiayan also followed him in and glanced at his phone for two seconds, but he never received a reply from Lin Lu.

"Is she so honest at work that she doesn't even check her phone? Otherwise, I'll call her. She won't be able to escape when her brother comes out."

Ding Zitong didn't understand his inexplicable worries. Before the queen was even confirmed to have an affair, he, the eunuch, had already started to arrange to help her escape.

"We don't know the Duan Chengyu you mentioned. Lin Lu had just come back... so it's impossible for him to know her. How did you come to the conclusion that she must be related to that person? If Pei Yizhou is angry about someone he doesn't know, he should be angry that Lin Lu didn't pass the news to him."

Xu Jiayan certainly knew that none of them knew Duan Chengyu, but he trusted Pei Yizhou's reaction more.

"Although I can't figure it out, I am sure that Duan Chengyu must have some relationship with Lin Lu, otherwise Lao Pei would not have reacted like that. Didn't you see that his face was as gloomy as if he wanted to eat someone. He would just frown if you broke a robot, but he would only be like this when it came to Lin Lu's matter."

"That's perfect," Ding Zitong said as she walked out of the elevator to the first floor. "Anyway, I didn't agree with them before... It's good that she has a second choice."

Xu Jiayan: "Be careful tonight if you open your eyes and see your boss standing at the head of your bed with a chainsaw."

After saying that, he made a phone call.

No one answered the first time, and no one answered the second time either. The call automatically hung up after ringing for twelve seconds.

He hissed and sent a message to other people in the general manager's office, only to be told that Lin Lu had gone out with Sister Chen.

"It's over," Xu Jiayan shook his head. "The longer Pei Yizhou's conflicts go unresolved and the longer he stays alone, the crazier he becomes."

Ding Zitong: "You think too much. No matter how crazy he is, he will not treat Lin Lu badly. As long as he has a brain, he will know what to do so as not to mess up the relationship between the two."

Xu Jiayan thought about it and agreed.

But he had to tip off Pei Yizhou, after all, he was his friend and his boss who paid him.

When Lin Lu received the call, she was following Sister Chen to go through the procedures at the municipal government.

When she heard that it was about Duan Chengyu, her heart skipped a beat. There were people around her, so she could only answer vaguely: "I forgot about it at the time. It didn't affect the company's business, right?" Xu Jiayan wanted to say that the only two things affected were Pei Yizhou's expired grenade and Duan Chengyu's life.

But Lin Lu knew nothing about what happened between the ages of eighteen and twenty, so he couldn't say too much. He could only vaguely say, "It's okay, but your brother seems a little angry."

Lin Lu felt a little scalp-tingling: "Then I'll go back and comfort him."

Although she didn't know why she felt so guilty as if she was cheating, she did break the principle of honesty between siblings.

What she was thinking was that after she finished her work at the city government and returned to the company, she could sneak into Pei Yizhou's office to explain things in person, and then go home together to cook him a delicious meal. That should be enough.

But I didn’t expect that today’s efficiency was so low, and it was almost time to get off work when I finished.

She hesitated for a while between going back to the company and going home directly, and finally picked up her phone and sent a message to Duan Chengyu.

[Are you free today? I may be busy tomorrow. If you are free, we can move our meeting time to today.]

She had a premonition that it would not be easy to run out and meet Duan Chengyu at any time after returning home.

But she must meet with Duan Chengyu to talk about the dream.

After a while, Duan Chengyu replied: [Sure. Still the same restaurant.]

-

Pei Yizhou was distracted during his work hours the entire afternoon.

He went to the general manager's office to look for someone. Lin Lu was out on business with Sister Chen and was not in the company, but she hadn't sent him a message or called him until now - he was sure that Xu Jiayan or Ding Zitong would tip her off.

Then why haven't you sent a message to explain?
Didn't she have anything to say to me after she knew that my concealment of the information about Duan Chengyu had been exposed?

Or did she think that Duan Chengyu was not worth explaining? She only called this name in her dream on the first night, and never mentioned it again.

She probably didn't know someone she had never met before, and calling out in her dream might have been an accident... But Pei Yizhou still magnified the very low probability that "she had a relationship with Duan Chengyu".

Because other than that, he couldn't figure out why Lin Lu would hide Duan Chengyu's information from him.

On the computer screen, Duan Chengyu's photo was enlarged, occupying his entire sight. Pei Yizhou stared at that handsome face, his mind in a mess.

The cell phone was placed next to him, but he did not take the initiative to contact Lin Lu. He just kept paying attention to incoming calls or message notifications.

But when I got off work, there was nothing.

Only after the people in the general manager's office had left work did Sister Chen take the information back to the office to save it.

Those were important documents and had to be locked up. Just as he bent down to lock them, he turned around and was startled by a tall figure at the office door.

"Mr. Pei?"

"Where is Lin Lu?" Pei Yizhou asked in an unclear tone.

Sister Chen hesitated and said, "She should have gone straight home."

Pei Yizhou nodded, said nothing, and strode away.
