Insincere

Chapter 23 023

Liang Rui really got to know Zhou Zecheng at a business reception.

But in fact...before then, he was already very familiar with Zhou Zecheng.

At that time, he was already the vice president of the Jiang Group. He had collected a lot of information about the main rival of the Jiang family, the Zhou family. Most of it was about Zhou Zecheng. Zhou Zecheng, who was only in his 20s at the time, took over the family business. , used thunderous methods to frighten those who were not convinced by him in the Zhou family, and then quickly proved with his strength that the Zhou family could develop better under his hands.

Such a person, sooner or later, will confront the Jiang family who is developing in full swing.

Liang Rui would never take his competitors lightly. At that time, it was rumored that the Zhou family also intended to intervene in the development of the Chengdong New Area of ​​City A. It was a big piece of cake, and it was still very important to a big company like the Jiang Group, so there was no room for loss.

So, there was a 'chance encounter' at this business reception.Thinking about it later, for Zhou Zecheng, it might also have been a well-designed 'encounter'.

In a way, they are the same kind of people.

In addition to Zhou Zecheng's elegant and handsome appearance and his ruthless methods, he is also a famous gay man who never hides his sexuality.This is different from Liang Rui.

After a chance encounter out of temptation, what Liang Rui tried to hide in every possible way was seen through without any accident.

Liang Rui was uneasy at first, and it didn't feel good to be prying into his inner secrets.

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. Not only did Zhou Zecheng not expose his intentions, but he quickly pursued him.Zhou Zecheng's pursuit is always romantic and powerful, which attracted the attention of many people for a while, and there are different opinions about it, and Liang Rui was immediately at the forefront of the storm.

Some people wondered if Liang Rui was also gay, some said it was a sign that the Zhou family and the Jiang family were going to cooperate, and some said... Liang Rui was an ambitious wolf who planned to rely on Zhou's family to establish his own family.

These rumors spread to Liang Rui's ears one by one, but he didn't come forward to clarify, instead he let Zhou Zecheng pursue him.

Those people didn't know that the fight had already begun from this moment.

Liang Rui is bound to win the development right of Chengdong New District, and the Zhou family is the biggest variable.He doesn't know how much Zhou Zecheng's pursuit is because he really likes him, but his intention to stir up trouble is obvious.These rumors are harmless to Zhou Zecheng, who has been out of the closet for many years... But to Liang Rui, who is the adopted son of the Jiang family and has always kept a low profile, it is like a slow poison-drug, eroding his current status little by little, causing him to suffer. More doubts and provocations became more restrained.Liang Rui, who has lost trust, and the Jiang family, who is in a mess, will be in a disadvantageous position in this competition, thus losing the initiative.

And Zhou Zecheng didn't have to give anything except a little pretentious pursuit.He saw through Liang Rui's real situation, and pointed out his weakness. This move was worthless.

No matter whether Liang Rui denies it or not, this result cannot be changed.If he accepted it, he was betraying the Jiang family, and if he refused, it was a hypocrisy.

So Liang Rui didn't refuse, he just met Jiang's father Jiang Qinghai in private, and the two talked behind closed doors all night.

He doesn't need the trust and love of too many people, he just needs to realize that the Jiang family still belongs to Jiang Qinghai, and that's enough.

Then Liang Rui began to meet Zhou Zecheng occasionally. He neither refused nor accepted, allowing Zhou Zecheng to pursue him, giving Zhou Zecheng a hope that he might succeed, but he never gave an affirmative answer.This kind of "hope" is very dangerous, because once Zhou Zecheng can really win him over, then the matter will definitely be settled. This kind of huge temptation makes him unable to give up easily.

Liang Rui wanted to convince Zhou Zecheng that he might really betray the Jiang family, thereby dragging Zhou Zecheng into the water who was watching the fire from the bank... In the end, it was not certain who would benefit from it.

But people like Zhou Zecheng are not the kind of people who can be easily deceived, and if they hang him, they must give some sweetness.

So during another date, Liang Rui didn't refuse Zhou Zecheng's kiss.

He just slipped the bug into Zhou Zecheng's pocket.

With the opening of the bid just around the corner, Liang Rui finally got useful news, but at the critical moment, something happened suddenly to the Jiang family.Was it Jiang Qinghai, the elders of the Jiang family, or those directors who disliked him, but Jiang Ming, who had been ignored and avoided by him before, who challenged him.

If it was anyone else, Liang Rui would fight back without hesitation. There are many people who want to step on him, but so far no one has succeeded.

Only Jiang Ming was the only exception.

As long as it was what Jiang Ming wanted, Liang Rui would not refuse, not to mention that the Jiang family belonged to him, and he was only doing things for him.So he obediently handed over the authority of the entire working group, and in order to reassure Jiang Ming, he directly withdrew from the bidding.

Liang Rui acted cleanly on the surface, but after all, this matter was too important to the Jiang family, and he couldn't really let it go completely, so he found a confidant of his own, and borrowed the news that he had stolen from Zhou Zecheng under the guise of others. It was given to Jiang Ming, and he has been silently watching behind the scenes until the Jiang family finally succeeded.

Liang Rui was sincerely happy for Jiang Ming.

The young man he loves is so outstanding. Although he secretly provided information, he still cannot deny that the brilliance shown by Jiang Ming, who took over the family business for the first time, will definitely be better than himself in the future.

Liang Rui didn't feel uneasy or threatened, he was honored.

Liang Rui did not attend the celebration banquet because he had received an invitation from Zhou Zecheng.

When we met again, Zhou Zecheng didn't blame or get angry, he looked at Liang Rui with gentle eyes as always, and said, "I seem to really like you."

Liang Rui was noncommittal.

Zhou Zecheng added: "I know who you like, but I don't like you."

At that time, Zhou Zecheng sent an invitation to Liang Rui for the first time, "You can walk with me, we are the same people, we will definitely get along happily, even if one day it feels inappropriate, we can still get together and relax."

Liang Rui dismissed this kind of proposal, Zhou Zecheng didn't understand at all... Even if he could only watch in the dark all his life, he would never leave, so he refused without hesitation.

Zhou Zecheng didn't force it, he just sighed, kissed the back of Liang Rui's hand, and left without hesitation.

At that time, Liang Rui didn't know that after only two years, he would leave at all costs.Looking back on the past - leaving only the merciless mockery of time.

A few months later, the Zhou family, who had failed in the bidding, withdrew from City A to avoid the sharp edge.

It was also at this time that Liang Rui discovered that Zhou Zecheng's last words to him were probably the truth.

Because leaving was actually not the best choice, but he left anyway, without revenge or entanglement, and walked cleanly.

Because the Jiang family won the development rights, the business scale has expanded several times, and they have obtained a lot of favorable conditions. The overall strength has jumped to a higher level, and in a short period of time, it has become a new behemoth.

Jiang Ming began to show his brilliance with an unstoppable momentum... Liang Rui was gradually excluded from the core of the group.

However, he was willing.

..............................

After Zhou Zecheng left that year, Liang Rui never paid attention to his news. He soon fell into Jiang Ming's revenge and entanglement, and he had no time to care about him.Later, he suspended animation and left, so he didn't care about those things anymore.

So just attending a banquet and running into Zhou Zecheng is really an accident with a very small probability.

After Liang Rui returned home, he had to take out the almanac and look through it. What kind of unlucky days were there this year, why did he meet old people, and all the people he met were people he didn't want to see.

Before Liang Rui could catch his breath, Jiang Ming asked him to meet again at night.

This is really no need for anyone to rest, Liang Rui reluctantly cheered up and went to see Jiang Ming.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them was quite relaxed and happy during this period of time. Jiang Ming's behavior was always normal. Although he was lukewarm, there were seldom times when people were frightened.

Liang Rui deeply felt that this was a good sign, maybe Jiang Ming finally realized that there was no point in arguing with him, this is the rhythm of burnout!Thinking of this, Liang Rui felt both happy and complicated. He dealt with Jiang Ming more carefully, never making him angry, and acted cautiously with his eyebrows down, just in case Jiang Ming changed his mind and refused to leave.

To be honest, he had never been so cautious when facing the head teacher of the high school who was known as the extermination teacher...

Jiang Ming seemed to have just come back from other places. He was dressed in travel and dust. He put the windbreaker on the back of the chair, sat down and said to Liang Rui: "I'm a little tired, you can order."

Liang Rui's eyes glanced at the tiredness between Jiang Ming's eyebrows, and his heart ached, but he didn't say inappropriate words, he just ordered a few light dishes, and specially ordered a nourishing soup.

Just as he put down the menu, Jiang Ming asked, "What did you do today?"

Liang Rui was used to this kind of unnutritious way of chatting, like an old couple who had lost their passion, he replied succinctly: "Go to work."

"Oh, who did you meet?" Jiang Ming said lazily with his eyes half closed.

Liang Rui's heart skipped a beat, but seeing Jiang Ming's expression, he felt that he was thinking too much, so he said calmly, "A few clients."

"Oh." Jiang Ming stopped talking again.

I don't know if it was because he was in a bad mood, but Jiang Ming seemed a little silent today, neither of them spoke again during the meal.

In the end, Liang Rui couldn't help but said with concern: "If you are really tired, don't force yourself, there is never enough to do."

Jiang Ming just looked at him with a smile, but the smile was full of jokes and didn't make people feel comfortable, "Thank you for your concern, can you stay with me today?"

Liang Rui sighed in his heart, many things are different after all, he just said: "I can't stay out at night, Xiao Yuan is at home alone."

"Oh, then I'll take you back." Jiang Ming didn't force himself, and smiled lightly.

Jiang Ming personally drove Liang Rui downstairs, but when Liang Rui was about to get out of the car, he suddenly locked the car door, turned sideways and pressed Liang Rui heavily on the seat, leaning over, his face was hot come.

Jiang Ming pressed Liang Rui's forehead against Liang Rui's forehead, stared at Liang Rui's eyes at a very close distance, the shadows of each other were reflected in the black pupils, and he said slowly in a hoarse voice: "It takes a lot to lie to me. It’s expensive, you know that.”
