As the vice president of Qiao's, Qiao Zhen is usually very busy at work. After finally being able to take a day off to accompany Liang Yuqian, he wanted to make up for all the shortcomings in his usual life.
After the four of them tried on wedding dresses and bought jewelry, they went shopping, sang, watched movies, and had dinner like ordinary young people.
Finally, on the top floor of the tallest building in S City, enjoyed the night view of the bustling city.
To give the newlyweds more time to be alone, Qiao Yang and Qin Man naturally came together.
Qin Man quietly asked Qiao Yang, "Why are you always looking at your brother and sister-in-law?"
Qiao Yang explained seriously: "Looking for inspiration, I want to see what kind of accompaniment and chords can be used to express the happiness between lovers."
Qin Man burst out laughing: "You can't see the happiness between lovers. You have to experience it yourself to understand."
Qiao Yang: "If I could experience that feeling, the music I would write would be richer."
Qin Man: "This is not simple. Just fall in love. Have you ever liked anyone?"
Qiao Yang shook his head.
Qin Man: "No way, brother! Haven't you ever had a heartbeat when you grew up?"
She had been in contact with Qiao Yang several times, and Qiao Yang made her feel that he was easy to get close to and had a good temper. He looked cold when he wasn't smiling, but he was warm when he smiled.
A very likable man.
A man with his personality feels the same to everyone.
It's the kind of person where everyone in the world is a friend, but there is no lover.
Qiao Yang smiled: "What does that feel like?"
Qin Man: "If you can't see him, you will always think about him and worry about him. When you are together, you will want to make him happy."
"Think about whether there is such a person around you?"
Qiao Yang thought for a while.
He would be worried about Mo Yu during the two days after he moved out and would call him to ask about his living environment.
But he clearly understood that it was a concern for his friend.
But, he is very confused about Gu Ye.
In the past few days, he would go to Gu Ye's house to play the piano at this time every day.
It is said that it is to relieve Gu Ye's mental stress, but more often he uses it to compose music and play.
He is not going today. Should he send a message to Gu Ye? But is it necessary to say it? What to say?
When he goes to Gu Ye's house every day, he mostly just plays the piano. Will Gu Ye be annoyed? Will it be noisy? Will it be possible that once he find a piano tutor, he won’t be needed anymore?
So, Gu Ye shouldn't be waiting for him now, right?
Just then, the phone rang and a message popped up on the screen.
Gu Ye: [Are you coming tonight? 】
All doubts disappeared.
Qiao Yang couldn't help but laugh.
He replied: [I am with my brother and the others. When I get back, I'll play you a lullaby before going to bed. 】
While Qiao Yang was waiting for Gu Ye to reply to his message, Qin Man teased him from the side: "Brother, you look a little excited right now."
"Um?"
Qiao Yang raised his head in confusion. After understanding what she meant, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm just sending a message to a friend."
"friend?"
Qin Man was incomprehensible: "Can an ordinary friend make your facial expressions so rich? Tangled, distressed, and laughing at the same time?"
Qiao Yang belatedly asked: "Do I have it?"
At this moment, Qiao Zhen, who was not far away, answered a phone call, and his expression changed immediately: "Li Songran is missing? Why is he missing? Didn't I ask you to keep watching?"
He asked Liang Yuqian to stay with Qiao Yang and the others first. He went to a corner with a few people and made a few more calls with a solemn expression.
Qiao Yang and the others were vaguely aware that something had happened. The atmosphere of the date was interrupted, and several people were preparing to go home.
On the way, Qiao Yang asked Qiao Zhen, "Did something happen?"
Qiao Zhen: "It happened some time ago. Among the arrested Li Songran, Guo Shen, and Wang Chengling, only Li Songran did not participate in the transfer and embezzlement of Qiao's funds."
"So he was released on bail for the least serious crime. But that's also the scariest thing about it."
"Others are doing this for money and profit. But Li Songran is not. His purpose should be pure revenge."
Qiao Zhen told him something.
Twenty years ago, Qiao's began to develop and build entertainment resorts in remote mountainous areas and successfully brought capital from the wealthy into poor areas, boosting local economic development and causing a dramatic increase in the income of local residents.
However, there were also objections. The local hotel industry, which is fragmented, all thought that Qiao's entry would have an impact on their business.
However, this is the result of the survival of the fittest in the market.
Any smart operator will take advantage of the popularity of Qiao's Resort to successfully transform and continue to grow their business.
Some industries that were already half-dead could not keep up with market trends and were self-pitying and even hating the rich and jealous of Qiao Capital.
This happened to the owner of one of the hotels, which soon went bankrupt.
Out of sympathy, Qiao Tiancheng paid a high price to acquire this useless hotel.
Later, he heard occasionally that the hotel owner quickly squandered all his money. Behind his back, he also scolded Mr. Qiao for being the culprit of his bankruptcy.
Qiao Tiancheng just laughed at such people and ignored them.
Until he recently found out that Li Songran was the son of the hotel owner at the time.
Qiao Zhenyu: "Twenty years ago, he was only about 10 years old. The child without any judgment was influenced by his father and attributed the family's decline to Qiao, so he holds a grudge to this day."
"Just in case, after he was released on bail, I sent people to keep an eye on his house secretly, but to my surprise, I let him escape!"
His tone was solemn, with a worried look on his face: "Although Li Songran is not something to be afraid of, I am afraid that this person will do something dangerous, so you have to be more careful at ordinary times."
Qiao Yang nodded and said: OK.
Qiao Zhen was still worried: "You... you should go home and live there. Living alone in your house always makes people uneasy."
Qiao Yang laughed: "I am already such a big man, what should I be worried about?"
"And I have to write and arrange songs every day, so my home needs to be absolutely quiet. It's just right to live alone."
Qiao Zhen looked at him: "Before..."
He paused for a while, but he still didn't say anything he felt guilty about and wanted to apologize for. Because Qiao Yang didn't care about this at all, the apology seemed unnecessary.
He added: "If you need anything or want anything from now on, just tell me."
"As for composing, I have also asked people about some related prospects. Currently, I know a few famous music producers. If you want to meet them, I can help you connect."
Qiao Yang smiled at him: "There's no rush now, just take your time."

Gu Ye's house.
On the dining table, the top chef invited to come to the house to cook a table dinner was tightly covered by the silver dome and remained motionless.
Gu Ye was in the study room handling unfinished business at the company during the day. He read documents from time to time and was busy making phone calls.
Geng Hui printed out a pile of information from his computer and handed it to him: "Mr. Gu, this is the document you said you would process the day after tomorrow."
Gu Ye didn't even raise his head: "Leave it, I'll look at it now."
Geng Hui sighed, and Mr. Gu realized that it was because the third young master of the Qiao family was not here tonight that he was too lonely, so he kept looking for things to do to fill the emptiness in his heart, which was plaguing his body and mind.
He thought that the lonely Mr. Gu would not fall in love like normal people, but he didn't expect that after falling in love with someone, he would become so infatuated and crazy.
It's a pity that the third young master treats him as a friend, alas.
The cell phone at hand rang.
Gu Ye's hand that was flipping through the information immediately stopped. He dropped the document and picked up his phone, with a faint look of expectation in his eyes.
But after seeing Mrs. Xu's number, her expression became cold again.
He clicked on the message sent by Xu Weiling, which showed several screenshots of Qin Man's Moments and a message:
[If you fall and fail to catch your crush, you will regret it and die]
The handsome face instantly darkened.
He looked through the photos on his phone one by one, and found a man and a woman carelessly in the garden, like carefully trimmed celebrity stills. The man was cool and handsome, and the woman was sweet and cute.
In a photo of the wrists of four people wearing wristwatches, he immediately recognized Qiao Yang's arm, which he had held once before.
He wears a pair of watches on his wrist and a slender woman's arm next to him.
Gu Ye threw the phone heavily on the desk. After making a loud "dong" sound, the phone rolled a few times and fell to the ground.
Geng Hui next to him was startled. He quickly bent down to pick up his phone. He only glanced at the information and photos on the screen and understood what was going on.
Gu Ye glanced at him sideways.
There is a depression-like cloud between his eyebrows, a deep silence before the storm.
The entire study was enveloped in high pressure, making it almost difficult to breathe.
Geng Hui didn't dare to express his anger and quietly escaped from the room.
God, Mr. Gu must be jealous.
The key target is Miss Qin Man, who has been chasing him not long ago.
Mr. Gu is too miserable!
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when Qiao Yang came back. He didn't go home and rang Gu Ye's doorbell directly.
It was Geng Hui who opened the door: "Master Qiao, you just came back."
He welcomed Qiao Yang into the house as if he were his biological father, and was so happy that he almost cried.
Qiao Yang nodded and asked him: "Well, Gu Ye is asleep? Then, I'll come tomorrow."
"No, no, no, no, Mr. Gu is not asleep." Geng Hui quickly grabbed him, smiling like a dog.
"Mr. Gu has been busy all day today. If he doesn't hear your soothing music, he will definitely have trouble sleeping tonight."
As soon as Geng Hui finished speaking, Gu Ye walked out of the study.
The tall man stood in the corridor in front of the room, looking at him quietly.
He seemed to have a different expression than before. He no longer had a gentle smile on his face, and his expression was still tired and lonely.
He looked at Qiao Yang for a while and then asked, "...are you back?"
The voice was smooth, low, and soft.
Geng Hui almost burst into laughter after hearing this.
God knows what kind of emotions are hidden behind these words.
Qiao Yang smiled and followed him to the piano room: "I just came back. I will play you a piano piece at this time, just right to relax you before going to bed."
"What do you want to hear?"
Gu Ye didn't answer him but stared at the bag he was carrying and the watch on his wrist.
He asked: "Did you go shopping?"
"No, they are all gifts from my future sister-in-law."
Qiao Yang had already sat down in front of Tianlaizhi. He took off the watch from his wrist and placed it on the small table beside him to prepare to play the piano.
Gu Ye walked over and took the watch into his hand. The metal strap still retained the man's body temperature.
"Your watch is the same as the sun and the moon series. I made a reservation for a long time but couldn't buy it. It turned out that it was ordered by Miss Liang."
Qiao Yang asked in surprise: "Do you also like this watch?"
Gu Ye nodded gently and asked him: "...can you sell it to me?"
Qiao Yang:......
The watch was given to him by his sister-in-law as a thank-you gift for composing music for their wedding.
He has no interest in watches, and because he often plays the piano, he doesn't like wearing a watch either. He forgot to take it off today too.
But if someone like Gu Ye, who can hide his preferences, can directly say that he wants to buy it, he should really like it.
It will definitely not be sold.
It's okay to give it away, but he thinks it's a little inappropriate.
The sun and the moon shine together in pairs, and the moon is in Qin Man's hand.
Giving it to Gu Ye was like making the two of them a couple.
He wanted to refuse.
He looked up and saw Gu Ye looking at him.
Perhaps because of the late night, Gu Ye looked depressed today. As if he had been wronged in some way, there was a slight loneliness in his eyes.
Qiao Yang still swallowed his refusal and asked him: "Do you want to keep it for collection, or do you want to take it out?"
Gu Ye: "...Collect."
"Then I'll give it to you."
Qiao Yang said: "The other one is in Qin Man. If you don't want others to misunderstand, you'd better not bring it out."
Gu Ye nodded: "Okay."
"I won't ask for your watch in vain. I will give you a better gift in two days."
Qiao Yang accepted it openly: "It's up to you."
Gu Ye left the piano room and walked into the bedroom.
There is no need to pretend in one’s space.
Anger suddenly rose in his eyes, and the watch flew out, hitting the thick carpet in front of the bed with a muffled sound.
After a few seconds, he regretted it again and hurriedly walked over and picked it up.
The tall man squatted on the carpet, held up his watch and sniffed it.
The inside of the metal watchband had long since lost Qiao Yang's body temperature, but there was still a hint of manliness left.
