Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

Song Puxin wore a crow blue shirt that day, buttoned all the way to the position near the Adam's apple. He was actually more than half a head shorter than Qi Yu, but because he was thin, he seemed to have slender limbs and a tall stature.

Song Puxin stood at the door of his ward and said, "I heard that you were injured a little, and Si Ze asked me to come and see you on his behalf."

Qi Yu was taken aback: "How did Si Ze know that something happened to me?"

He didn't think it had spread that he was almost kidnapped.

Song Pu said in his heart, "He should have heard it from the director."

Qi Yu: "Oh..."

If Dad disclosed it to Uncle Si, it is possible for Si Ze to know.

Although there were some surprises, everyone came, and they wanted to exchange a few words. Qi Yu shook hands with him and invited him in.

Song Puxin brought a bouquet of delicately packaged blue tulips to Qi Yu, which was a gift that made people's eyes shine under the background of the three fruit baskets before.

Qi Yu took the flowers and pointed to the small tea table in the direction of the balcony: "I'll have the flowers put up, you sit first."

After he went out, he explained a few words to the nurse, and when he turned around, seeing Song Puxin still standing, Qi Yu walked over and said, "I asked them to make a pot of Earl Grey tea, would you drink it?"

Song Puxin: "It's okay."

When Qi Yu approached, he sat down, but he didn't take the initiative to find a topic.

Although Qi Yu was a little curious about Song Puxin, he wasn't Qi Feng's familiar character.

Qi Yu remembered that when they had a meeting that day, Song Puxin buried himself in the meeting table and took notes, and hardly spoke much. Then Size invited him to dinner, and Song Puxin was also present. He just sat quietly beside Size drinking and eating without saying a word during the whole process. Very low presence.

After a few seconds, Song Puxin probably felt that as a visitor, it was not appropriate to be so silent, so he took the lead and said, "Are you okay now?"

Qi Yu said with a smile: "The body is fine, just a little frightened."

He briefly talked about what happened that night, and Song Puxin said lightly after listening: "It's really not easy for you to experience this kind of thing at your age..."

Two nurses came in one after another, and one of them held the arranged flowers and asked, "Mr. Qi, where can I put the flowers for you?"

Qi Yu pointed to the tea table: "Just put it here."

When they put down the tea and flowers and left, Qi Yu continued: "Fortunately, Fu Yansheng appeared in time, otherwise I don't know if I can stay here now."

Song Puxin: "Your secretary?"

Qi Yu poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "He is not just a secretary, but also my teacher."

Song Puxin looked at him curiously: "Do you really think of him as a teacher?"

Qi Yu: "Well, before he agreed to come to Siyuan Group to help me, we had known each other for a year on the Internet. At that time, I took him as a teacher."

In fact, during the meal that day, Fu Yansheng also mentioned that Qi Yu had invited him for a year, but Song Puxin might not have paid much attention to it, so he had this reaction when he heard Qi Yu say the same.

Qi Yu did a good job on the surface in front of Fu Yansheng, but in front of outsiders he held each other generously, and he didn't want others to look down on him at all.

"In terms of work, Mr. Fu has much more experience than me, and I do have a lot to learn from him." Qi Yu said.

Song Puxin looked at him seriously for two seconds, and suddenly smiled, although it was only a short smile, but at that moment, his face was like the first melting of ice and snow, and it was unbelievably warm.

Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of work does Mr. Song mainly do for Si Ze?"

Song Puxin's eyelids lowered slightly: "Work records, checking documents, etc..."

When he said this, he subconsciously raised his hand and stroked his shirt, his slender and soft fingers rubbed the edge of the neckline. Although his expression and tone didn't change, the warm feeling just now disappeared without a trace. The whole person exuded a breath of strangers from the inside out.

Qi Yu didn't know if it was his own delusion, and felt that Song Puxin didn't really want to answer his question. He thought that the work privacy of the other party was involved, and he clearly stopped asking.

He changed the subject and said, "About the work of the Science and Technology Development Department of Siyuan Group, will you be responsible for connecting with the people on my side in the future?"

Song Puxin: "It should be the secretary named Huang Junwen who will connect with you. I prefer to be in charge of Size's life... For example, to see you on his behalf."

Qi Yu smiled, thinking that Song Puxin's example was very interesting.

At this moment, Qi Yu's cell phone rang, he glanced at it, saw that it was his mother calling, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I'll answer a call."

Song Puxin nodded.

Qi Yu got up and walked out while pressing the answer button: "Mom?"

Jiang Ying's irritable questioning voice came from the other end of the phone. Qi Yu thought it was well concealed, but Jiang Ying knew about it.

"Well, I'm fine... Don't worry too much... Uh, don't come to see me, I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow... Okay, I'll go home tomorrow, I'll talk about it later..."

After finally reassuring her mother, Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone and returned to the ward, seeing Song Puxin sitting at the table, looking out the window. The bunch of light blue tulips on the table lined his handsome profile and pale skin, creating a melancholy aura around him inexplicably...

Qi Yu paused and was about to speak to him when Song Puxin heard him come in and got up first.

"Qiyu, I have to go back to Size's side, so I won't bother you any more, you have a good rest."

"Well, okay, thank Si Ze for me," Qi Yu said politely, "I'll go back to the United States in two days, and we'll get in touch with the group after that."

***

In the evening, Fu Yansheng came to the hospital as early as yesterday. When he came, he still had a bag in his hand. He glanced at the flowers on the table and asked, "Who came to see you today?"

"Do you remember Si Ze's assistant? The one surnamed Song." Qi Yu said.

"Song Puxin?" Fu Yansheng asked as he lowered his head and opened the bag, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just chatted for a while," Qi Yu walked over when she smelled the fragrance, "What did you buy?"

"Fried buns with crab flour, just out of the oven," Fu Yansheng opened the lid and raised his eyebrows, "Your 500,000-year salary takeaway brother lined up to buy it in person, delivered it to the door in person, and tasted it to the fullest."

Qi Yu was amused by Fu Yansheng's smile, took the chopsticks that Fu Yansheng handed over, and fiddled with the bun and said, "Speaking of which, I always thought this Song Puxin was a bit like you..."

Fu Yansheng was startled: "Where is it like?"

"Temperament? Feeling?" Qi Yu looked at Fu Yansheng, and shook his head again, "I can't tell...the feeling is not obvious after being touched twice."

Fu Yansheng ate a fried bun before saying, "Actually, I've seen him before."

Qi Yu was puzzled: "Have you seen it? Have you had contact at work?"

Fu Yansheng raised his eyes: "It's not a job, it's a math competition many years ago. It was held in T University. I was in the mathematics department of T University at that time. He seemed to be still in high school and came to participate in the pre-competition training during the summer vacation. When they came to the training camp. I lived in our dormitory building, and a few people said that I was a bit like him, so I still remember him."

Qi Yu knew that Fu Yansheng went to college earlier than ordinary people, and after a little calculation, Song Puxin estimated that he was one or two years older than Fu Yansheng.

He asked, "Are you in the competition together?"

Fu Yansheng: "No, I didn't participate. I helped the professor review the questions."

Qi Yu: "..."

Qi Yu looked at Fu Yansheng with a strange expression: "Are all the people who can participate in your math competition especially talented?"

Fu Yansheng: "It's hard to say, but at least the mathematics level is in the top ranking in their respective provinces. There are many famous schools in China that give people who won prizes in mathematics competitions exemption from the college entrance examination."

The corners of Qi Yu's mouth twitched, and he seemed to know a little bit. Apart from that kind of bookishness, Fu Yansheng and Song Puxin probably had an aura that belonged to... a genius?

Although they are courteous and considerate in dealing with people and things, they inadvertently always reveal the kind of arrogance that is incompatible with outsiders.

Qi Yu remembered the scene when Song Puxin sat at the table and looked out the window before leaving. The other party's expression at that time was so indifferent that he seemed to be floating in the world, and he seemed to be trapped in infinite loneliness...

In the past, Fu Yansheng occasionally made Qi Yu feel similar, but there was one difference. Fu Yansheng was not melancholy, and Fu Yansheng showed more freedom and sobriety with no desire and no desire.

Of course, this kind of temperament didn't exist from the night the men negotiated a new contract with them, and now Fu Yansheng is like an old rascal who can't be satisfied...

Qi Yu coughed lightly and said, "By the way, Song Puxin said that after the work of the Science and Technology Development Department, Huang Junwen will be responsible for connecting with us."

"Huang Junwen?" Fu Yansheng recalled, "Oh, the one who is good at blowing rainbow farts."

At the dinner table, the secretary Huang praised Fu Yansheng and Xu Jing the most. Besides him, there was a manager surnamed Jiang. The two of them could sing and perform cross talk together.

Qi Yu shrugged and said bluntly, "I don't like that person very much."

Fu Yansheng gestured with his chopsticks: "Although you may not have had much contact with them at first, but if you think you like Song Puxin more, you can propose to Si Ze to let Song Puxin connect with us."

Qi Yu: "Is this okay?"

Fu Yansheng: "Why not? You are the deputy general manager. Size should be able to agree to this. Besides, the people around Size are very versatile. Last time I went to a strategy meeting, Huang Junwen, Song Puxin and I were at lunch. They also sat at a table with us, and I asked, that Song Puxin has a double-degree master's degree in law and accounting."

Qi Yu said in surprise, "So powerful?"

But he was a little puzzled, Song Puxin is so capable, why is he only serving as a life assistant for Si Ze now?

Fu Yansheng got up and went to the briefcase next to him, took a stack of files and handed it to Qi Yu: "I found some people for you during the day, all of which are more in line with the needs of our team in the future, take a look."

Qi Yu took it over and turned it over. There are talents who are familiar with the operation of Internet technology companies, talents who have done compliance and risk control, and senior analysts who are good at data collection and analysis...

Qi Yu was greatly surprised: "Have you posted a job offer? Someone is looking for a job so soon?"

Fu Yansheng laughed: "How can you find this kind of talent by posting a job offer? Do you think this is looking for a little assistant like Wu Shuang?"

Qi Yu: "Where did you find it?"

"Ask the headhunter what you want," Fu Yansheng pointed at the stack of documents and said domineeringly, "Let's see which one you like, let's dig it at a high price."

Qi Yu: "..."

How could he inexplicably feel that the emperor chose his concubine?
