Chapter 57 Gray Trajectories

Returning to the port city from the small inland village of Province Y, the complicated and boring urban life also returned to the track.

The crew's schedule was very full, so Lu Yuxing and Li Qing bid farewell to everyone and went straight back to the newspaper office.I haven't come to work for more than half a month, but the office is still busy as usual.The editor's phone rang non-stop, and the reporter shuttled between the workstations holding the materials. If the annual calendar on the wall hadn't been replaced with a new one, no one would have noticed that it was already the New Year.

Li Qing went to submit photos, Lu Yuxing returned to his desk and sat down, and began to organize the interview.

"Long time no see, Xiao Lu."

Bai Wan patted him on the shoulder from behind, and suddenly lowered her voice: "Xiao Lu, I saw the news that the crew of "Chasing the Murderer" started, your brother..."

She blinked her eyes with dark circles, "Has your younger brother been selected by Director Chen?" Seeing Lu Yuxing's indifferent face, she turned her head and looked around, then leaned over and whispered, "Many colleagues recognize you Come out, what should I do, Zhu... will Zhu Hu know..."

Lu Yuxing wiped his face, "Sister Bai, he's not my brother, he's just a friend."

Bai Wan's eyes lit up.

"Let me just say," she read a lot, "Yesterday I saw a tabloid saying that Tang Tang is the youngest son of the owner of Tang's jewelry, so that's right, your surname is Lu, his surname is Tang, and they are close relatives and distant relatives of the Tang family." No one with the surname Lu..."

Hearing the back, Lu Yuxing stared at her, frowning slowly.

He stayed in the small village for more than two weeks, and his life can be called isolated from the world.It turned out that after the TV station reported the launch news of "Chasing the Murderer", more than half of Tang Tang's identity was stripped away.

Many tabloids reported that he was Tang Jialang's youngest son.Fortunately, Tang Tang was only a flash in the pan on TV reports, and not many people noticed him.

There may be Tang Ruize's secret role in it, but in general, Tang Tang's identity has not become a hot topic of discussion among Hong Kong people.Compared to this, everyone is more concerned about the ambiguous scandal between Jin Wu and Yao Ting.

"He is an alumnus of mine, and he is known by the club." Lu Yuxing explained, "Sister Bai, I will only tell you about this. If other people ask again, you will say that they have identified the wrong person."

Bai Wan thought about what it meant, and felt a little tricky, but she still nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then why don't you go shopping with me after work?" Bai Wan knows how to control her senses, she smiled and pulled her hair down, and changed the subject, "You're not here recently, and I don't know the other interns very well. It's too boring for Ban to go by car alone."

Lu Yuxing naturally agreed.Bai Wan vaguely showed a relieved expression, turned around and continued to work.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yuxing finished his work and left the office with Bai Wan.

The elevator door was full of colleagues who got off work on time.As the saying goes, a worm after get off work, when everyone was dragging their tired steps into the elevator, a large body bumped behind Lu Yuxing.

"...Editor Zhu?"

Lu Yuxing staggered forward after being hit by him, and followed the crowd into the elevator.

The few employees who were talking and laughing just now fell silent when they saw Zhu Hu.

"Zhu...Zhu Bian."

Bai Wan stood in the corner beside Lu Yuxing, her face turned pale.

The elevator was full of people, Lu Yuxing stood beside Bai Wan, and Zhu Hu was in front of them.As the door closed, Bai Wan couldn't help but hide behind Lu Yuxing.

"Get off work?" Zhu Hu showed a rare smile, and Lu Yuxing was terrified by him.He froze for a moment, only to realize that Zhu Hu was speaking to Bai Wan.

The people behind didn't answer, turned their delicately made-up faces aside, pretending they didn't hear anything.

Lu Yuxing caught a glimpse of Bai Wan's movement from the corner of his eye, so he stood a little forward. "Well, Editor-in-Chief Zhu also leaves work so early."

The elevator hummed slightly and slowly descended to the first floor.

Lu Yuxing's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it.Several colleagues with their backs to them turned around and looked at Lu Yuxing curiously.

Zhu Hu's slender eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of impatience.

Ding--

The elevator door opened, and everyone walked with their bags, and left quickly and vigorously, without any signs of exhaustion just now.

Zhu Hu probably didn't expect Lu Yu to be with him, so he walked to the hall and said to Bai Wan, "Xiaobai, let me take you back. There are too few seats on the bus during peak hours."

The glass revolving door at the entrance of the hall came in and out, Lu Yuxing followed Bai Wan a step behind, watching silently.

Bai Wan's face was still pale, but relying on Lu Yuxing's presence, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and politely refused: "Sorry, I have an appointment for dinner today, Zhu Bian, please go first..."

Facing her boss, Bai Wan didn't have the confidence to speak.Zhu Hu still wanted to say something, but glanced at Lu Yuxing behind her with a cold face, but didn't dare to speak.

He has heard some of the rumors circulating in the newspaper.

If Lu Yuxing is really a close relative of the Tang family, he really needs to be a little wary.

He touched his upper and lower lips convulsively, but he still didn't speak, turned around, got in the car and left.

Seeing Zhu Hu's car drive out from the parking lot of the square and onto the road, Bai Wan's tense shoulders relaxed.

Lu Yuxing frowned from the beginning to the end.

"When did it start?"

He followed Bai Wan, and the two walked out of the building and turned into the commercial street.

Bai Wan sighed, and when she looked up, the dark circles under her eyes were revealed.

"It looked like half a month ago," she pulled her hair. "Usually you and I go off work together, but when you're not at the newspaper office, he blocks me at the door every now and then, and once followed me..."

She coughed and didn't continue.

"Anyway, I escaped."

Walking past a women's clothing store, Bai Wan glanced into the window, with a sad look in her eyes. "What can I do? He is my boss. I want to support myself with my salary, and I don't dare to change jobs casually."

"I like the atmosphere of the newspaper office, and I also like this job." Bai Wan said, "I can only ask you for help."

Lu Yuxing looked down at her, thinking of his young self for no reason.

"Do it if you like it." He patted Bai Wan's shoulder, "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, feel free to ask me for help. However, I still suggest you tell Sister Ai directly."

"Let's talk again, how dare I." Bai Wan sighed, "I've only been here for one year, how many years has Zhu Hu been working? Hit a stone with an egg."

She stood there feeling melancholy for a long time, "Forget it," she gave Lu Yuxing a hand, "Let's go, sister treats you to milk tea, we won't talk about that today."

Lu Yuxing was taken care of by Bai Wan at the newspaper office. He knew that Bai Wan was in a bad mood, so he walked around with her for a while and had dinner with her.

Passing by the mall, Lu Yuxing accidentally saw the huge sign on the glass window.

——Dang Jewelry.

He has never been to the shopping mall here. One is that the city center is crowded with people, and the other is that it is too far away from Jinning Road, so he has no interest in visiting the mall.

This is a high-end commercial city. Two surrounding ten-story buildings are connected from the air by two walkways on the third floor. The glass exterior walls reflect the high-rise buildings in the center of Hong Kong City, and there are many advertisements for luxury brands.

"Want to go see?"

Bai Wan noticed that Lu Yuxing was standing still and focused, so she laughed a few times. "I can't afford it, you pay for it yourself."

Lu Yuxing looked at the advertising poster of Tang's jewelry, and his heart moved.

"It's okay, let's go in and have a look, we don't want to buy." He turned to greet Bai Wan, walked into the mall, and went straight to Tang's jewelry store.

The store of Tang's jewelry is in the middle of the first floor. The cold white lights and the red satin counters complement each other. Those well-designed counters stand in the store, showing the shape of the word "out".

"Wow," Bai Wan admired the jeweled pearl necklace inside through the glass counter, "Come to take care of business for your brother and friend?"

Lu Yuxing didn't hear her joke, but looked around the store seriously.

The shopping guide walked over in a black and white uniform.

"Sir, do you want jewelry for this lady?"

"No, no, no," Bai Wan hurriedly waved her hand, pointing at Lu Yuxing, "Buy it for his brother."

Lu Yuxing put his hands in his coat pockets and walked around the store casually, feeling a little rich.

"Sorry, do you have any brochures?" He walked back to Bai Wan, "I want to take a look."

The shopping guide looked at Lu Yuxing's familiar posture and his handsome facial features, thinking that there was a big deal.She turned around and took the brochure, and quickly handed it to Lu Yuxing.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuxing took it over and flipped through it, quickly browsed several recent new products, then flipped through several hot-selling silver jewelry, and finally turned to the designer's introduction.

The "Chief Designer" column showed an unfamiliar English name.

Seeing him staring at that page with frowning eyes, the shopping guide hurriedly explained: "The recent best-selling items are all designed by our company's chief designer, sir, would you like to take a look..."

"Your chief designer," Lu Yuxing interrupted him, "what's your Chinese name?"

The shopping guide was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Sir, she, she is not from Hong Kong..."

Bai Wan leaned over suspiciously, "Chief designer? I know her. She came from Europe. She's a famous jewelry designer. She was featured in newspapers before." She thought for a while, "But it's time to retire. age."

"She has a young mind," the shopping guide said with a smile. "If there is no suitable successor, she shouldn't retire too early."

Unwilling to give up, Lu Yuxing went through the manual again from beginning to end.

The air seemed to freeze, and the shopping guide and Bai Wan stood beside him, watching him flip through the manual back and forth.

"Sorry, I won't buy it today."

He finally gave up, closed the manual, and returned it to the shopping guide.

Bai Wan also echoed: "That's right, our president has something else to do today, come back another day, come to buy it another day!"

The author says:

The chapter name comes from Beyond "Grey Tracks".

"My heart keeps recalling, who can cover up for me, I want to know you wherever I go."

I found it suitable and used it.

The title of the chapter has gradually become a big release of my playlist...
