No one had ever seen the CEO summon a man to his office before!
Could it be that the CEO and his wife had argued recently and he discovered he liked men?
Even if he liked men, why would the CEO like this kind of man!
Murong Cheng returned to his office and took out his phone to send a WeChat message to Jiang Shiyu.
"I've found the little boy from your childhood. Come to my company this afternoon, and I'll introduce you."
When Jiang Shiyu received Murong Cheng's message, she was ecstatic and jumped up from the sofa.
She hadn't expected Murong Cheng to find him so quickly; he'd found the person in just half a day this time!
Little fatty, little fatty, after all these years, I've finally found you.
Jiang Shiyu kissed her phone.
Now that Ruofeng was found and the little fatty was found, her life was complete!
Li Gang received An Yan's call, trembling and flattered.
"Don't worry, our CEO won't make things difficult for you. Just come up to the office on time."
An Yan hung up after speaking.
Li Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why would the renowned CEO want to see him?
Could it be that he had made a mistake? But he didn't remember making any mistakes recently.
The most he'd done was sneak candy during meetings and sneak durian and spicy strips at work. Because the smell was too strong, he had been complained about by colleagues!
Terrified, Li Gang ate two fewer bowls of rice at lunch.
Trembling, Li Gang arrived at Murong Cheng's office at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Murong Cheng sat in his executive chair and turned it around.
The moment he saw Li Gang, Murong Cheng was stunned.
He looked very much like his childhood self.
He was practically a magnified version of his childhood self.
No wonder that foolish woman didn't recognize him.
Murong Cheng stood up, and Li Gang almost knelt down in fright.
"Don't be nervous. I need your help today. My wife is currently obsessed with murder mystery games. She firmly believes she has a childhood sweetheart who looks like you. That's why I found you. I need you to cooperate with me in a play..."
Murong Cheng threw the script he had written to Li Gang.
Li Gang opened the file. It contained character settings, birth dates, heights, weights, and detailed lines.
"Memorize these. When my wife arrives later, don't get the lines wrong."
Murong Cheng said and sat back down, taking a sip of coffee.
Li Gang wiped his sweat. "CEO, is it really that simple?"
"What else would it be? Do you want to add lines?"
"No, no, I'll memorize it right away! I definitely won't forget the lines!"
Li Gang eagerly held the file and began to read.
Murong Cheng narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
Jiang Shiyu arrived downstairs at Ling Sheng Group at exactly four o'clock. She was so excited that she hadn't even taken a nap.
After calling Murong Cheng, Jiang Shiyu entered Ling Sheng.
She hadn't been here for a long time and almost didn't recognize the way.
Jiang Shiyu took the exclusive elevator directly to the top floor, to Murong Cheng's office.
Because it was an exclusive direct elevator, she arrived quickly. As the elevator doors opened, Jiang Shiyu quickened her pace.
An Yan saw Jiang Shiyu arrive and stood up to help push open the heavy rosewood door of the office.
"CEO, Madam is here."
As the door opened, in the spacious office, besides Murong Cheng, a man was sitting on the sofa. Just by his back, one could tell he was a chubby guy.
She hadn't expected that after all these years, the little fatty from back then still hadn't lost weight.
"You're here," Murong Cheng stood up and introduced Jiang Shiyu, "This is the person you were looking for. He's called Li Gang now."
Jiang Shiyu had only known the little fatty's nickname, Little Whale, before.
She didn't know Little Whale's real name.
"Li Gang?" Jiang Shiyu was stunned.
What was the connection between Li Gang and Little Whale?
The people who used to bully the little fatty all called him Whale.
This was because the little fatty was very fat.
Jiang Shiyu had thought the little fatty's real name might sound similar to Whale, but it had nothing to do with Whale.
And it was so...
Common.
"Hello, my name is Li Gang."
Li Gang stood up nervously and bowed to Jiang Shiyu. But then he quickly remembered something, coughed, and said, "Long time no see, Sister."
"Are you really Little Whale?" Jiang Shiyu's doubtful gaze fell on Li Gang.
Although he was quite fat, there were many fat people, and not everyone was Little Whale.
"I am," Li Gang said as he looked up.
When Jiang Shiyu saw Li Gang's face, her doubts instantly vanished.
It wasn't that he looked similar; he looked exactly the same.
"Oh my god, you look exactly like you did when you were little! I've been looking for you for so long, and I didn't expect you to be here, working at Ling Sheng! How have you been all these years? After you transferred schools, your mother moved away too, and I never saw you again! I never had any news of you!"
Jiang Shiyu stepped forward, hugged Li Gang, and excitedly clasped his hands.
Li Gang blushed.
Murong Cheng's face darkened, and he pulled them apart. "Maintain distance."
"Sister, I am Little Whale. I'm doing well now, and I've even gotten married. But that's all in the past. Sister, don't dwell too much on the past; the future is what's most important..."
Li Gang, afraid of forgetting his lines, spoke haltingly, following the script.
When Li Gang finished speaking, a hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Shiyu's eyes.
Was this man really Little Whale? Although he called her sister, it didn't feel the same as before.
People really do change, don't they? The innocent and simple chubby boy from back then was now so distant from her.
Of course, Little Whale had his own work, life, and family. The friendship from over ten years ago was just a memory.
Jiang Shiyu was filled with emotion, her heart a complex mix of feelings.
"You're right, but we were so close back then. Don't you feel anything at all? I finally found you, do you even remember back then..."
Jiang Shiyu recounted many childhood memories, her eyes welling up with tears.
Even though it was just for one summer, her bond with Little Whale had been very deep.
She hadn't expected that in Little Whale's eyes, it was just a past memory.
Li Gang swallowed.
He hadn't expected the CEO's wife to be so deeply engrossed in murder mystery games.
"Sister, don't say that. We were indeed very close back then, and I'm very grateful for your kindness. But what's past is past. Sister, you should look forward and live well with your husband. Don't live in the past!"
Li Gang continued speaking according to the script.
Jiang Shiyu found it a little strange. Although it sounded like something Little Whale would say, it sounded odd no matter how she heard it.
"Alright, then take care of yourself. You don't need my protection anymore."
Jiang Shiyu looked crestfallen.
Little Whale was nothing like she remembered him to be.
Apart from his appearance, which hadn't changed at all, everything else was completely different.
Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
After Li Gang left, she sat on the sofa, sighing repeatedly.
