Chapter 1

After the summit, Han Rui hurriedly cleaned up his computer. He drank too much water before, and now he wants to go to the bathroom.

He had just zipped up his backpack when two technical backbones from kpn came over and pulled him to continue discussing the plan mentioned in the film.

The client was interested in their company's plan, of course Han Rui couldn't wish for it, and he had to hold back no matter how anxious he was.

After half an hour, other colleagues and customers had packed up, only they were still discussing, the vp of kpn came over and said, "Let's make another time to discuss! Let's go to dinner first."

Han Rui looked at his watch, it was already 6:[-]!No wonder they come to remind them. Usually, foreigners leave after work.

The restaurant is not far, just a few steps away.Han Rui has only been in the Netherlands for a short time, and this is the first time he has had dinner with a client. Everyone does not talk about business, but just chats everywhere.

Of course, the most talked about is vacation.It will be August soon, which is the peak season for Europeans to go on vacation.The 8 customers who came here have already booked their itineraries. Most of the vacation destinations are by the sea, such as the Canary Islands and Mallorca, and one of them is going to Nepal.

Xiao Yang leaned over and said, "They can rest, but we can't, poor life!"

Liu Wenqing on the other side of Han Rui said, "You can be content! At least the customers are interested in our workshop this time, and the followup will definitely not run away."

Xiao Yang cupped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, Boss, you are right. After working so hard for so long, I finally got something to gain. The vp just said that I want to make an appointment again! At least it is better than those appointments, and the door is open." Can't be stronger."

There is no need to toast when eating here. Everyone drinks their own drinks, and the meal falls apart within an hour.Foreigners with children have to go home to take care of their children, and those without children have to go to their own entertainment. After work is private time.

Liu Wenqing drove Han Rui and Xiao Yang back to the dormitory.Along the way, the three of them talked about work matters. Although today's summit went well, the follow-up matters are also very important.

When they got to the place, Liu Wenqing told the two of them, "Rest well tonight, and you can come later tomorrow."

The two waved goodbye to Liu Wenqing, and walked for about 5 minutes before arriving at their place of residence.

Xiao Yang wailed while climbing the stairs on all hands and feet, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I want to go out to play!"

Han Rui smiled. For today's summit, the entire project team has endured for so long, and it's normal to want to go out and relax.

Finally climbed to the third floor, Xiao Yang stood up and complained, "The company doesn't rent a good place either, the stairs are too strenuous to climb."

It was really strenuous, the space in the stairwell was too small and too steep, for a short man like Xiao Yang, he often had to use his hands and feet to get up.

However, although the stairs are not easy to climb, the house is not bad. There is a river in front and a big garden in the back. The location is close to Chinatown and not far from the company.

Although it is an old house of more than 100 years, the interior decoration is very modern, but the floor is not very good, and it will make a buzzing sound when walking on it.

Han Rui went to the attic to put away his computer bag, then took his pajamas and went downstairs to take a shower.Xiao Yang lay paralyzed on the sofa, looking at his phone and said, "Why do you take a shower every day? It's not too much trouble!"

Han Rui smiled again, "You don't feel bad if you don't take a bath?"

Xiao Yang said without raising his head, "What's the pain? I'm already a clean person, and I wash it at least once every three days. In Belgium, I had a colleague who only took a shower and shampoo when he went to see clients. He usually smells so bad!" It can be smelled ten meters away, and she is a woman."

Han Rui had heard about this female colleague in China.I thought it was unbelievable before, how could a woman be so sloppy?

However, after coming to The Hague, I gradually understood how hard my colleagues were at work. I was busy day and night every day, and the work pressure was so great. If the evaluation was not good, I would have to leave. Compared with personal hygiene , It is more important to keep your job!

After taking a shower, Han Rui went to the attic to continue working. Although Liu Wenqing said that he could take a break, in addition to the current project with KPN, he also has a British Telecom project in his hand. If you live, you can't handle it at all.

After preparing the report to be made the next day, Han Rui checked the emails again, and one of them was an internal email indicating that the salary had been sent. He was overjoyed, and immediately logged into the mobile bank, and transferred 2 yuan to his elder brother. I left 2 for myself.

The eldest brother is in need of money now, and he is alone, as long as he does not starve to death.What's more, he still has some euros in his hand, and he can use his credit card, so it's no problem to pay his salary until next month.

After finishing the planned work, Han Rui went downstairs to the bathroom.Living in the attic is actually quite nice, quiet, but there is no bathroom, and going downstairs is quite strenuous, you have to climb with your hands and feet, which is harder than the stairs in the stairwell.

As soon as I got back to the attic, I received a message from my elder brother: "Xiao Rui, you just transferred 100 million to me a few days ago, why did you transfer it again? Where did you get so much money?"

Han Rui replied: "Salary is paid today."

"That can't be all given to me! Don't you need to spend money abroad? My side is a bottomless pit. Leave me alone. I will figure it out myself."

Of course, Han Rui couldn't ignore his elder brother. The elder brother was the only person in the Han family who treated him well. Now that he was in trouble, although he couldn't spend tens of millions at once, he still wanted to help within his ability.

"We are brothers, I don't care who you control?"

It's been a long time since I sent out this message, and it's the morning in China. Han Rui guessed that my eldest brother should be busy dealing with those who come to collect debts.

When he thought of what happened to his big brother's company just after he separated from Gu Chengjun, he would inevitably think about Gu Chengjun, could it be that this person is retaliating?

The eldest brother has explained that the company's problems have not lasted for a day or two, and it is expected that it has developed to the present state.

Even though the eldest brother said so, Han Rui would not let go of his doubts about Gu Chengjun. Gu Chengjun is really too bad.

However, even if Gu Chengjun really did this, there was nothing he could do.After finally escaping from Gu Chengjun's side, it's only been a few days of peace of mind, do you want him to go back home again?

When I was busy until three o'clock in the morning, another message came from my phone, but it was from Xiao Zhe:

"Little Mom, why are you having conflicts with Dad again? I went back to China for vacation, but there was no one at home."

Although Han Rui hates Gu Chengjun, he likes Xiao Zhe very much. This child was brought up by him as his son and younger brother. good.

Seeing Xiao Zhe sent another crying emoji, Han Rui had no choice but to reply, "We have separated."

"No, mom! Dad is domineering, but he really loves you!"

Gu Chengjun's love, he, Han Rui, can't bear it. Which normal man is willing to be suppressed and kept in captivity like a canary?You have to apply even to go out, and you can only go out after approval.

What's more, he didn't feel that Gu Chengjun loved him any more, and he loved to sleep with him.

Han Rui didn't want to think about those troublesome things, so he sighed and replied, "Little Zhe, study hard! Don't worry about the affairs of adults, I will go to you when I return to China."

After replying to this message, Han Rui turned off his mobile phone and went to sleep. There was a conference call after ten o'clock. If he didn't sleep to keep his spirits up, how could he have the strength to quarrel with others later?

At eight o'clock in the morning, Han Rui, who was sleepy, was woken up by Xiao Yang.

The yawning Xiao Yang, with his head on the chicken coop, said, "Get up quickly, the family said that there will be an early meeting."

After saying this, he climbed down the stairs on hands and feet again.

Why did you change the time again?Han Rui turned over on the bed with his head in his arms, and then rolled directly onto the floor.It didn't hurt, but enough to wake him up.

This is not Gu Chengjun's home, but the attic of a small apartment in The Hague.This bed is not a kingsize bed, but a mattress 80 cm wide on the floor.

The two finished washing in 5 minutes, didn't eat breakfast, and rushed to the company with their bags on their backs.

It was so early in the morning, and it was the weekend, there were almost no people on the road, and few shops were open.

Xiao Yang complained while running, "Today I have to go to the supermarket no matter what, at least I have to buy some dry food reserves, so if I don't eat breakfast every day, I will get stomach problems sooner or later."

After running across a bridge, he said, "People in this capitalist country are too lazy to go to work so late. If they were in China, they would open for breakfast at this hour and have everything to eat."

Seeing him swallowing and talking, Han Rui asked, "Then what do you want to eat?"

Xiao Yang swallowed again, and then said out of breath, "Intestine fungus, glutinous rice chicken, barbecued pork buns, shrimp dumplings, durian crisps, as long as they are made in China, I love them all."

It's a pity that Han Rui doesn't know how to do these things. Although he was born in the south, he went to the north when he was eleven or twelve years old, and then went to study in the UK. The snacks in the south are only eaten when he and Gu Chengjun go to eat Cantonese cuisine .

Seeing that Xiao Yang was still muttering about domestic delicacies, with a look of drooling, Han Rui said, "After today's business is done, let's go to the Chinese supermarket and buy more vegetables. I will give it to you." You are delicious."

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Not long after he finished speaking, he became depressed again, "It's probably not going to work. People here not only go to work late, but also get off work very early. When we finish our work, the supermarket will probably be closed."

If this is the case, Han Rui has no choice but to find time.

The two swiped their cards and entered the office. Seeing that everyone was almost there, it was only the two of them that were missing, so Han Rui hurriedly said sorry.

Liu Wenqing waved his hands indifferently, and then said to the person next to him, "Han Zhao, Han Rui's speech in yesterday's workshop was very good, you can listen to it later."

Xiao Yang leaned over to Han Rui and whispered, "Why is this flower peacock here again?"

Compared with the unkempt, gray-clothed and gray-pants guy in the office, Han Zhao really looks like a peacock. Not only is the polo shirt pink and the trousers white, but he even wears a purple hat indoors. Coupled with the dazzling accessories on his wrists, fingers and neck, the whole person is simply gorgeous.

Moreover, his personality is too flamboyant, not only Xiao Yang doesn't like him, but Han Rui doesn't like him either.
