Chapter 117: I was with Bai Yueguang before I was scumbag (12)
Before saying these words, the two of them had already walked to a less crowded place. People passing by them were in a hurry and had no time to watch the two of them standing there confronting each other.
However, Meng Linchen's face remained grim, as if he had been slapped in public. He stared at Lian Qingyang's departing back, his youthful temper still thwarted. He immediately called one of Meng's father's assistants, "Assistant Qin, I want you to help me check someone."
Assistant Qin is the person who has the most contact with Meng Linchen. He has been responsible for arranging many things for Meng Linchen since he was in junior high school. He had only made some harmless requests before. He was shocked when he heard that he was going to investigate someone for the first time.
"Young Master, are you still in Chaoshi? Not to mention that it's illegal to investigate someone's private information without their permission, even if it's not illegal, our Meng Group can't reach into Chaoshi! You'd better come back as soon as possible. President Meng came to the company early this morning and looked unhappy. He just lost his temper."
When Meng Linchen heard him reject him, his face darkened and he hung up the phone without saying anything.

Even Qingyang was not interested in knowing Meng Linchen's situation. He rested for two days and then went to Yue Songming to find a job. It was really boring to stay at home, and Duan Zhuo was very busy recently.
The funds for the project he participated in have been issued. He did not participate in the early stage of another project taken on by the team, but he helped a lot in the later stage, so Yue Songming also gave him a special bonus.
Lian Qingyang accepted it readily and went to work actively.
It just so happened that Yue Songming was going to Duan Zhuo's company to take on a project today, so Lian Qingyang simply went with him.
Yue Songming and the person from last time found a conference room to communicate. Lian Qingyang was watching beside Yue Songming, but after a while, Xiao Li came over and called Lian Qingyang away.
Lian Qingyang was taken to the general manager's office to wait. Xiao Li was very polite to him: "Please wait here for a moment. The general manager has a meeting that's not over yet. It will only take about five minutes. Here is the fruit the general manager prepared for you."
He nodded and waited until Xiao Li left before picking up the fruit to eat. It was not that Xiao Li prepared it and then helped Duan Zhuo to take credit for it. These were all his favorite foods. Duan Zhuo must have bought them and put them here. In the previous world, President Qi Chen often put his favorite fruits and snacks in the office.
As expected, Duan Zhuo came in and saw him eating fruit and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Lian Qingyang stuffed a piece of watermelon in his mouth, nodded with a puffed face, and held a toothpick in his hand to pick up the watermelon piece.
Duan Zhuo walked to the desk, put down what he was holding, and then spoke after a moment's consideration: "Are you free this Saturday?"
Lian Qingyang swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and looked at Duan Zhuo in confusion: "Huh? Aren't you very busy this week?"
Duan Zhuo patted the documents at hand and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "If I work overtime these days, I will have time on Saturday. How about you?"
Lian Qingyang shook his head. Seeing Duan Zhuo's expression suddenly turn bad, he explained with a smile, "You know I'm only here to discuss a project with Senior Yue. I guess I'll be busy for a while after accepting it today."
"But I can catch up on the progress and squeeze out a day. What are you going to do on Saturday?"
Duan Zhuo then became happy and asked, "How about we go to Chaoyang Coast to watch the sunrise first?" Although it was too early to start a date with the sunrise, he really wanted to watch the sunrise with Lian Qingyang.
Expectant eyes fell on Lian Qingyang. Lian Qingyang turned his head and looked at Duan Zhuo. When Duan Zhuo became more and more nervous, he nodded and continued to eat fruit.
After getting a clear answer, Duan Zhuo was in a good mood and began to work actively. The two of them did their own things without disturbing each other, and for a while, the office was peaceful.
But the good mood didn't last long. Xiao Li knocked on the door and came in. Facing Lian Qingyang, he said to Duan Zhuo: "Mr. Duan, Mr. Yue has already negotiated the project and is now in the office. Mr. Lian, do you want to leave?"
Lian Qingyang had already stood up while he was talking. He had almost finished his fruit and packed it up to take away. He said to Xiao Li, "I'll be there now. You go ahead and do your work."
Xiao Li ignored Duan Zhuo's resentful look, nodded to Lian Qingyang and left.
Lian Qingyang walked over to Duan Zhuo, carrying a fruit box. He patted his back gently with his free hand and said comfortingly, "I'm leaving first. Go to work and see you on Saturday."
Today is Thursday. Duan Zhuo was comforted by the thought that they could be alone for a day the day after tomorrow, and nodded to let him go.

Lian Qingyang was sound asleep when his cell phone rang and woke him up. He reached for his phone and answered it with half-open eyes. He then heard Duan Zhuo's energetic voice: "I'm downstairs now. Are you ready?"
Lian Qingyang frowned, took his phone away to glance at it, then put it back to his ear, his tone full of irritability as if he hadn't woken up yet: "The roosters haven't even started crowing at this hour, how come you're so energetic?"
Duan Zhuo was very excited last night and pestered him to play video games until one o'clock in the morning. Now he is still full of energy even after getting up so early.
Although he was dissatisfied, Lian Qingyang still got up in a daze. After quickly waking up and packing up, he went downstairs. Duan Zhuo also handed him a breakfast.
They quickly arrived at Chaori Coast by subway. Duan Zhuo parked the car downstairs of Lian Qingyang Building, and the two took the subway to the coast together. Today was Saturday, and there were more people coming than that day. They found a place to stand and wait for the sunrise.
After watching the sunrise with great satisfaction, Duan Zhuo looked at the photo of Lian Qingyang and the sunrise on his phone and clicked a few times to set it as the screensaver.
It was still early after watching the sunrise, so the two decided to go back to Lian Qingyang's house to catch up on some sleep.
He slept until nine o'clock. When Lian Qingyang came out of the bedroom, he saw Duan Zhuo sleeping soundly on the sofa. He must have been too busy recently and was extremely excited since last night. Now he relaxed and slept very soundly.
Lian Qingyang leaned over to look at him, and couldn't help but kissed him on the cheek, which ended up waking him up. Lian Qingyang was startled and quickly stood up. As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the wrist. Duan Zhuo's voice was still a little hoarse: "Why didn't you wait until I woke up before kissing me? You almost thought I was dreaming."
"I didn't. There was something on your face and I just wiped it off with my hand."
Duan Zhuo walked down the slope, curled his lips and smiled: "Well, why don't you kiss me now to make up for the regret in my dream." He finally calmed down after being hit.
The two went to the supermarket in the morning, cooked lunch at noon, stayed at home to watch a movie in the afternoon, and had a hot pot in the evening, ending a wonderful day happily.
After that, they were busy with their own things and only saw each other occasionally. Duan Zhuo would sometimes go to Lian Qingyang's house for a meal, and then ask for a hug or a kiss on the cheek and leave satisfied. Their life was so ordinary that it seemed like they had entered the stage of an old couple. The two of them were together so naturally, and it had never been reported in the news. Lian Qingyang was also happy and at ease.
