I, social fear, addicted to stickers [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 42

Thinking so, Fang Hening did the same.

When he got closer, he noticed Song Tang's trembling eyelashes. The other party didn't seem to react at all. He paused again, and a soft sigh with a helpless smile escaped from his lips. Finally, he turned his head slightly and finished a light kiss. At the corner of Song Tang's mouth.

The slightly cool touch brought back Song Tang's rationality, he blinked, and then stepped back abruptly, dropping the hard cardboard in his hand.

Fang Hening reacted quickly, caught the small work that had just been completed, and said with a smile, "Tangtang, why do you dislike me so much?"

Song Tang replied in seconds, "Nonsense, that's, that's..."

"What is it?"

"Why didn't you just say hello... kiss me."

Song Tang's ears were burning, and his voice became lower and lower as he spoke, until it was almost breathless.

Fang Hening couldn't help laughing, "My dear Tangtang, you don't need to ask for a kiss, but since you want to hear it, I'm happy to tell you, Song Tang, can I kiss you now?"

Song Tang was stunned, but in fact his heart was already churning, this, this might as well just kiss without asking!It's even more shameful, okay? !

Fang Hening urged softly: "I'm still waiting for your answer."

Song Tang was so embarrassed that he just wanted to get up and hide in the bedroom, but he was the one who said he couldn't kiss without saying hello. They asked him where he could avoid it again. After a long battle between heaven and man, he glanced away and said in a low voice: "You can kiss." Kiss."

Fang Hening laughed this time, and kissed Song Tang directly on the cheek when Song Tang glared over.

Then he watched a blush slowly appear on the fair skin of the person in front of him, joining the blush at the base of his ears.

He held back the yelling in his heart that he wanted to overwhelm him on the spot, why Song Tang could close his eyes so much, every move, expression, and reaction made him feel that watching was enjoyment.

Seeing that Song Tang's breathing was stagnant, as if he was shocked, he pinched the other's tight shoulders and asked, "This is your first work, can you give it to me?"

Song Tang snapped back to his senses, "Yes! I'll see you off."

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Song Tang nodded, turned back and tried to hold his breath while cleaning up a table of tools, but the warm and cool touch just now lingered in his heart and refused to go away.

What Fang Hening brought to him was a totally different new experience.

He used to really think that he would be lonely and widowed all his life, and spend his whole life with Rongrong, but he didn't expect that the unexpected time travel changed everything.

He didn't believe that he could have a relationship, but the appearance of Fang Hening broke his expectations. Maybe he could really establish an intimate relationship with other people?

If it was the person in front of him, he wanted to give it a try.

In the past two days, he had chatted with the employees of Fang Hening's studio that he joined before. Make a public confession.

He asked a few insincere words, and learned that Fang Hening had told everyone in the studio that he was the other party's first love—this feeling, he had to admit was very good, very good, and very good.

Moreover, Fang Hening's generous act of introducing him to other people actually dispelled many of his concerns and hesitation virtually.

The other party is serious.

After packing up his things, Song Tang slowly calmed down.

Watching Fang Hening put away the sunflower, he sat back on the sofa with his hands on the edge of the sofa, and talked about another thing, "My mother came to the company to look for me today, but I didn't see her. She left things at the front desk, a fruit gift box , and a pen, I plan to get someone to send it back to her tomorrow."

He didn't want to have more contact with Liu Yueping.

Fang Hening was not surprised, and asked, "Thinking it over clearly, are you sure you don't want to repair the relationship with her?"

Song Tang shook his head, "She just wants money, she wants a continuous... cash machine, I don't need such purposeful care."

Fang Hening thought it over and said: "As long as you think it through carefully, I still say that, no matter what decision you make, I will stand by your side."

Song Tang was silent for a while, nodded, and hesitated when thinking of another level, "I chose this way and didn't even give her a chance. Don't you think I...are too cruel and merciless? After all, it's my own child. Mother."

Of course Fang Hening would not.

He knew that the person in front of him was not the original owner, so there was no problem with this choice. At the beginning, he felt that the premise that he could consider accepting it was that Song Tang wanted to try to make up for the regret of his family relationship here, and Liu Yueping could really provide a high-quality job. affection.

But now it seems that even if the latter is established, Song Tang does not need it.

He comforted: "Don't think too much, my relationship with my parents is worse than that of strangers, naturally I don't think there is any problem with you rejecting a dereliction of duty mother, no matter what the reason for her leaving in the first place, I haven't contacted you for so many years I can't even tell."

The light in Song Tang's eyes trembled, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was Fang Hening who was neglected by his biological parents who was more unlucky, or his parents who died early and were made things difficult by his uncle and aunt for so many years.

He was in a complicated mood, both the distress that Fang Hening had experienced since he was a child, and he was also a little fortunate.

Fortunately...they were able to meet each other.

The corners of his lips drew down, and then slowly flattened under Fang Hening's gentle eyes, and finally raised a slight arc.

He held Fang Hening's hand, lowered his head and leaned on the other's shoulder, something was missing, but it seemed to be better compensated in some way.

Fang Hening hugged Song Tang, the corners of his lips turned up slightly, family affection?The things he discarded a long time ago are not important at all, as long as he has Song Tang, it is enough.

After making up his mind, Song Tang sent the things back, thanked him politely, and didn't say anything else.

There's no need to tear your face apart completely. After all, Liu Yueping is the original owner's biological mother. He is not qualified to forgive on behalf of the original owner. Similarly, he doesn't know whether the original owner will accept it. The most he can do is to give some money.

As for Liu Yueping who wants to be a good mother now and wants to make up for it, he is not really the one to be made up for.

Some opportunities are missed.

Soon, under the background of another matter, he had no time to take care of these——

Fang's Group handed over an olive branch and wanted to seek cooperation.

The other party makes electronic accessories, not to mention the domestic chip field, even in the international arena.

For the electrical appliances made by the Song family, he eliminated the company's shortcomings and increased the number of cooperation orders by a large amount. The previous suppliers could not keep up. He is indeed looking for new partners recently.

But the Fang Group was not in his choice from the beginning.

I didn't say it before, this time the company's senior management unanimously suggested that he consider it. If he can cooperate with Fang's, he will be guaranteed in all aspects. How much higher than other homes, considering the value of it, the higher price is completely acceptable.

However, Song Tang didn't want to have anything to do with the protagonist Gong. It was inevitable to talk about such a big cooperation, and he always felt that it would be bad if he got involved.

If Song Tao, who hadn't hooked up with the big boss above, hooked up again by accident, it would be too late for him to cry.

Although he had checked who Song Taoxin was looking for before, he didn't have much clue. He didn't dare to bet on whether the other party would turn back again, and things like fate were not clear.

Money can be earned bit by bit, but there is only one life.

What's more, now that he has Fang Hening, he has to cherish his life even more.

When the other party came to the company to ask him to have lunch with him, he had just invited out the two vice presidents who persuaded him with a firm attitude. Even Liang Ying didn't quite understand his decision. There is no reason at all.

But why he couldn't say.

Looking at the irritable and depressed Song Tang between his brows, Fang Hening couldn't understand the reason. He set up his lunch, "Come and eat first, and leave the problem there for a while and won't run away. The fish soup in this restaurant It tastes good, come and try it."

Seeing Fang Hening, Song Tang actually felt better.

He walked to the dining table and sat down, took the spoon handed by the other party, and tasted the fish soup. It tasted really good, which relieved his fatigue from dealing with the executives all morning.

He didn't shy away from Fang Hening's affairs in the company, so after he had almost eaten, he confessed without waiting for the other party to ask, "Just Fang, who offered to cooperate with us, I wanted to refuse, but the executives insisted."

"I understand their insistence, and I admit that they are right, but I really don't want to get involved with Fang Xuan."

Fang Hening asked calmly: "Even if you sacrifice part of your interests, you still insist on not cooperating?"

Song Tang sighed slightly, not without entanglement, "I understand that doing so will not benefit the company much. What I can do is to try my best to make up for it later, even if it will make me busy and tired."

Fang Hening laughed, leaned back in the chair, and said, "You don't want to get in touch with him, what does it have to do with the cooperation between the two companies?"

"Ok?"

Fang Hening explained: "You can ask yourself, he avoids public appearances more than you, and the vice president is in charge of all matters that need to be seen. Few people have seen him. Why can't we talk about cooperation? If you don't show up, he won't show up. Wouldn’t it be good if other people were in charge of the discussion?”

Song Tang lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully. This is true. The two companies cooperate. As the boss, it is not necessary to show up, and the deputy general agent can do it, but... still not possible.

He still refused, "If we cooperate, the two parties will be more involved, and it is easy to cause side issues."

Fang Hening continued to persuade: "Song's real interests are on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the high-level unanimous opinions, you can't give enough convincing reasons for refusing, what will they think of you? You paid a lot to gain a firm foothold in the company. It took a lot of work to make everyone believe that you can lead the company to reverse the plight of declining profits, but now you want to destroy the Great Wall because of things that haven't happened yet?"

"Once the prestige is established, it needs to be maintained continuously, and it is even more difficult to change the view. The market is like a battlefield. You take a step back and think that you can make up for it later, but the situation is changing rapidly. Think about your competitors. Are you sure you want to give up such a good opportunity? "

Song Tang frowned, Fang Hening's words were so reasonable, he couldn't refute a word.

He poked the rice in the bowl annoyed, "I know, it's very willful to make this decision, but..."

Fang Hening smiled slowly: "I'll be with you, don't worry, just find me if you're in a bad mood, and I'll be there whenever you call. It's just Fang Xuan, you can see what you want, and don't worry about the rest. Why is he so low-key? Maybe show up easily?"

Well, Song Tang sighed, "I'll think about it again."

"Okay, let's eat the vegetables first."

Thinking about it again, in fact, Song Tang had already made up his mind after being awakened. Fang Hening was very right in one point. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the situation is changing. If he doesn't grasp this opportunity, he will probably give it to others. ——his competitor.

He has no obsession with money, but he has to be responsible to the whole company, and some things are really hard to make up for.

Moreover, he didn't know why Fang Xuan was so low-key, but it was obviously a good thing for him.

The matter is just finalized and discussed. It is good for the vice president to come out and make decisions behind the scenes. Such a large-scale cooperation cannot be negotiated for a while, so he will ask about the progress from time to time, give ideas and give pointers. In the downward direction, it is not difficult to communicate with Fang's side unexpectedly, but he doesn't need to bother too much.

Song Tang heaved a sigh of relief when the cooperation with Fang's arrangement was completed, and he devoted himself to other aspects of work. Apart from company affairs, he is now looking forward to meeting Fang Hening even more. The state of mind is different, and there will be very subtle changes when getting along.

This afternoon, while relaxing at work, Song Tang was thinking about what to cook for the evening, when a letter sent directly to the company disturbed his good mood.

It's a high school reunion.

Originally, for him as a social fear, all occasions that required social interaction were naturally avoided, including but not limited to excuses such as busy work, illness, etc., but this time all methods failed.

The reason is that after receiving the invitation letter, he wanted to add the organizer's WeChat to tell the other party that he would not go, but they dropped a depth bomb when they came up, saying that the goddess he had a crush on in high school but failed to catch up with would be there. The goddess just got divorced, and she needs someone to comfort her, telling him to go no matter what.

He got annoyed on the spot, the trending search for Fang Hening's confession to him was shining brightly, and this group of people is not the village netcom, he didn't believe he couldn't see it!

It's clear that he feels that he is the same as before, and he is still keen on raising fish. He has to step on multiple boats, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement one by one!

Worse!He didn't defend against Fang Hening. When he posted the post at night, he hadn't figured out how to speak. When the other party saw that he was in a bad mood, he asked.

He didn't want to go.

Let him go to the class reunion?Even if he doesn't want to meet up with acquaintances, is this a group of old classmates whom he doesn't know at all?Isn't that killing people?

No, absolutely not!

Song Tang buried his face in the arms of the people around him, trying to pretend to be a quail.

Fang Hening rubbed Song Tang's hair, and comforted him: "If you don't go, then don't go, there are many ways to clarify."

Being caressed on the back, Song Tang's disturbed mood gradually calmed down, and he was silent for a long time. After he calmed down completely, he couldn't help sighing, and admitted: "I don't want to go, but in fact... there is still a chance to go. necessary."

The identities of these old classmates are somewhat sensitive.

If he doesn't go, maybe what will be rumored, many people's inherent impression of him still stays as Huaxin Haiwang.

Although he has changed in the past six months, it is as simple as two points and one line, and at most he goes to the crew to find Fang Hening, but the people around him know it well, and those who are far away don't know it, or they don't believe it when they know it.

I originally studied in a private aristocratic school, and my high school classmates are basically children from local rich or noble families, but now most of them are from the circle.

If he can take this opportunity to clarify and let these people know that he has changed and is completely different from before, then it will still have a good impact on his reputation after it spreads slowly.

He really had no reason not to go.

However, proper socializing is killing him, and those people are definitely not good at it!

Song Tang hesitated, "The invitation letter says that you are welcome to bring your companions, why don't you come with me."

Hearing the bitter voice of the person in his arms, Fang Hening knew that [-]% of the so-called first love had nothing to do with the other party.

But when he thought of that "rongrong", jealousy bubbled in his heart, so he joked: "You still have to go to see the goddess of first love, won't it affect your performance if I go."

Song Tang poked Fang Hening's abdominal muscles with one finger, and almost bit his mouth to warn Fang Hening not to talk nonsense, "You still make fun of me!"

But he couldn't refute the words of the goddess of first love!After taking over the identity of the original owner, there are some things that he can only bear silently.

God knows that he has never held anyone else's hand in Dalian since he was a child, not to mention love, not even secret love!

The original owner, the philandering Neptune, was completely helpless. What else could he do? He was very grateful to fate for being able to live again. There must be a price to be paid for such luck. , which is probably what he will pay.

Thinking of this, he tightened his arms holding Fang Hening, but fortunately he met this big baby bump!

Can the other party not care about the original owner's previous bastard mischief and the mess of unreasonable bad debts, say that he likes him now, believes in him now, and clearly distinguishes him from the original owner...

Wait a minute, I was jealous just now.

How could Fang Hening think that he came here through time travel? It is very, very rare to be able to do what he is doing now. In the final analysis, we still need to deal with the previous things properly.

But Fang Hening said before Song Tang: "Okay, I believe in you, I will go with you, and I don't feel at ease if you go alone on such an occasion, I'm afraid this class reunion is a ulterior motive liquor."

The choice of time was too coincidental, but the organizer still said that.

Song Tang thought for a while, and said: "Don't, I'll go by myself this time, I know they won't show mercy, I want to settle the matter first, don't worry about me, just treat them as fluffy Well, at most it's...a fluffy fluff with a fragrant mouth and a hideous face."

"I'm going openly, they dare not do anything to me, they just say a few words, don't worry, I can handle it."

He didn't want Fang Hening to encounter those malice, so he didn't want Fang Hening to follow him to be wronged before the mess was settled.

Listening to Song Tang's words, Fang Hening chuckled, and compromised after consideration. Song Tangtang is not a delicate flower in the greenhouse. He didn't think the other party's social fear was bad, but after the symptoms of social fear eased, he tried to face some Socializing is not a bad thing.

He turned his head and put his cheek against Song Tang's soft hair, with a gentle smile in his eyes, he stopped insisting, "Okay, do as you want, and leave if you feel uncomfortable, don't spoil them."

"Ah."

"I'll pick you up after the crew is done."

"No, you come back directly, wait for me at home, and post it when you come back."

"Okay, listen to you."

Song Tang rubbed against Fang Hening's neck. Although he was full of praise, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and he only hoped that he wouldn't mess it up.

He made up his mind, but he still couldn't help being nervous. The class reunion was at night, and at noon that day, he went to the film crew to post with Fang Hening for half an hour, charging the consumed battery to full capacity, and trying to maintain a good state to face difficult problems.

At 07:30 in the evening, Song Tang arrived at the hotel where the party was held, and when he was led to the entrance of the party hall, he raised his hand and adjusted the watch on his lower wrist, taking a breath - this was exchanged with Fang Hening at noon.

Being in an unfamiliar environment and dealing with strangers would give him a little peace of mind.

He arrived neither early nor late, and when he entered the door, the originally noisy and lively hall became quiet for an instant, and the early arrivals all turned their heads to look at him, making him stop in his tracks.

His face was cold, his body was tense, he could barely hold back and turned around to leave.

Being stared at by eyes with such different emotions was something he absolutely couldn't accept before, and he didn't like appearing in the present situation very much.

Especially in the face of people with malicious intentions, spectators, and people who are destined to be cynic, it is difficult for him to maintain his composure.

If he didn't think of the purpose of coming this time, he didn't want to stay for a second.

There was silence on both sides, Zheng Yu, the organizer of the class reunion, the class monitor at the time, stepped forward to say hello: "Come on, I was just thinking about what to do if you don't come, everyone has been busy all these years, it's rare to get together together."

Song Tang glanced at Zheng Yu, and didn't look at anyone. He knew that it would be easy for people to think that he was arrogant and conceited, but he couldn't openly look at strangers.

He tried his best to use a less cold tone and said: "Squad leader Zheng has exhausted his words, why can't I get better."

Zheng Yu still had a smiling face, and he didn't care about Song Tang's attitude, the fun was yet to come.

As soon as Song Tang came, the people over there all turned their eyes to Liu Wensi who was standing slightly in the back, and the meaning was self-evident.

Song Tang could only bite the bullet and get closer to Zheng Yu. Hearing the whispers around him, the irritability accumulated in his heart, but he had to maintain his basic composure.

He glanced at Liu Wensi, and found that the other party was very calm, and he didn't seem to mind the scrutiny around him, which made him a little unsure of what this person meant.

The cold meal arranged by the party, Song Tang didn't feel like eating, so he exchanged a few casual greetings, and temporarily avoided the person who struck up a conversation by serving champagne.

It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Wensi would take the initiative to come over, and brought all the eyes of the audience over, including the one sitting on the sofa.

Liu Wensi took the initiative to clink glasses with Song Tang, shrugged his shoulders slightly, smiled generously and decently, and his voice was not low, as if he deliberately said to the audience, "I heard that you have changed a lot recently, and it is true when I saw you today. Much calmer, what Mr. Fang said is right, you were ignorant in the past, but now, just in line with the saying that you should be treated with admiration for three days."

"I watched the live broadcast. Congratulations. Actor Fang is very beautiful. Before, I only knew that he was talented. I didn't expect him to be very good at it. He can make such a low-key person confess in such a high-profile manner. You must have a very good relationship and love each other. oh."

Song Tang's heartstrings were originally tense, but when Liu Wensi mentioned Fang Hening, he immediately relaxed a little after hearing that, as long as he sincerely praised Fang Hening, they could be friends... Cough, it's rash, at least he didn't feel any malice from the other party.

It's a good sign.

Others, however, were not so kind.

Zheng Yu stepped forward and smiled kindly, "I originally thought that Miss Liu was divorced, so I'll match you up and see if you two stand together, you can be called a talented man and a woman."

Liu Wensi glanced at Zheng Yu indifferently, and said, "Song Tang is indeed talented now, which is quite different from before. Of course he can be talented, but in your opinion, this is the only skin I deserve to praise?"

Zheng Yu said freely: "What are you talking about? Don't worry about it. Come on, let's do it. You can do whatever you want. It's an apology for you, Song Tang, to save face?"

Seeing Zheng Yu finish his speech and drink a glass of champagne by himself, Song Tang was so annoyed that he couldn't bear the resentment when he thought about the purpose of coming today.

After drinking a glass of wine, he put down the glass and said coldly: "In the past, I really did things arbitrarily. Now I just want to focus on the company and a relationship. In the future, no matter if it's a matchmaking or any other occasion, don't look for me." gone."

Song Tang said this coldly, with a cold demeanor, Liu Wensi and Zheng Yu who were closest were a little surprised.

Zheng Yu was unhappy in his heart, but still kept a smile on his face, and handed him another glass of wine. After a stalemate for half a minute, he watched Song Tang take it before he smiled and said, "You were the only one who had fun before, what's the matter? Is it? Fang Hening usually keeps silent, but I didn't expect that he has some skills to seduce our President Song to death."

As soon as the words, which were full of ridicule, were uttered, the surroundings immediately thought of laughter in unison.

Whispering, Song Tang heard someone ridiculed, saying that the Song family was not as good as back then, that he would lose his family business sooner or later, and that Fang Hening was a hypocrite and reserved person. He gripped his wine glass tightly and held back his anger. How can they be so talkative when they look glamorous one by one?

He was thankful again that Fang Hening wasn't allowed to come, because what he said was disgusting.

He didn't think what's wrong with being an actor, even if the entertainment industry sucks, it has nothing to do with Fang Hening's money. If there is anything, with the other party's talent and EQ, how could it be possible to take on so many supporting roles.

Dare to say this, but still feel that the Song family is getting worse and worse in his hands, and no one would dare to do so a few years earlier.

He frowned and said emphatically, "Be respectful to him."

Zheng Yu didn't care much, "As an actor, I really don't believe that you are not just playing for fun. Is it possible that this actor really has special skills to seduce people? Tell me and listen."

Liu Wensi stopped first and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of everyone?"

"Hey, I was just joking," Zheng Yu smiled, and wanted to pat Song Tang on the shoulder. After being avoided, his expression was not very good. "They are all old classmates, so don't be so foolish about making jokes."

Song Tang slammed the wine glass on the table with the tablecloth, and made a muffled sound, his voice was cold and harsh, "I don't want anyone to make fun of him like that, he is very important to me, and dare to speculate so dirtyly, Since you guys don't intend to give me face, don't expect me to take care of my old classmates."

Zheng Yu was taken aback by Song Tang. He was indeed shocked for a moment just now. The other party's demeanor was cold and tough, and he was actually somewhat attractive.

Subconsciously, he didn't believe that Song Tang would really change, so he stretched out his hand to pat Song Tang as if he had recovered the scene, and said awkwardly: "As for it, a little actor who has nothing, left the actor Fang and the actor Yuan, you and the brothers are like this , Xiaojiazi is angry."

Song Tang opened Zheng Yu's hand unceremoniously, and his eyes became darker, "If the person who defends my importance is petty, then I am, and now it seems that I was right not to bring him here. It is necessary to come."

Song Tang's voice was not high, but a needle could be heard in the hall, so everyone heard it clearly.

Zheng Yu's mind has changed a few times. Song Tang is indeed very different from before. From his temperament and expression to his way of doing things, there have been very obvious changes, and he is like a different person.

If we say that Song Tang before was just a flowery butterfly with empty airs, now he will come to the real thing.

Not to be underestimated, not easy to provoke.

Liu Wensi was the first to react, and she had long been disgusted with it, "Well said, one or two rely on the foundation established by their parents to do their best, what right do they have to say that about others?"

Zheng Yu skipped over Liu Wensi's words, and said with a smile: "Since you don't like it, let's not take this joke, everyone, don't take it to heart, it's rare to get together, don't be disturbed by one or two jokes, right?"

Seeing Zheng Yu finding the steps for himself and then walking away disheartened, Song Tang lost the interest to stay any longer.

The entertainment industry, and even the entire self-proclaimed upper-class circle, are completely rotten.

Seeing that there was no joking in the faces of the people, but some cautious thinking, he knew that his goal was basically achieved, he greeted Liu Wensi and prepared to leave, but the other party happened to have the same intention, so the two left the meeting hall together I didn't notice that the man who was sitting on the sofa just now came out.

Walking out of the main entrance of the hotel with Liu Wensi, Song Tang was stopped, turned around and saw the man who was following him, and paused.

The man took the business card from the assistant behind him, handed it to Song Tang, and said with a smile, "Yuan Ruilin, let's get to know each other again."

Looking at the business card that was bronzed on a black background and revealing its luxurious background everywhere, Song Tang didn't want to accept it at all.

But Yuan Ruilin's status in the circle is very high, he doesn't like to gossip like this in his heart, but he doesn't want to refute the other party's face too much.

After receiving the business card, he said politely, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Yuan Ruilin didn't mind Song Tang's alienated attitude, and smiled brightly, "I really appreciate you today. You want to be a good company, which is very good. One more contact and one more opportunity."

Song Tang frowned, and was just about to answer something and find an excuse to leave when Liu Wensi glanced behind him and reminded in a low voice, "Mr. Fang is here."

Song Tang was taken aback, huh?

Didn't you agree not to pick him up and go back directly?
