Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 30
When the two of them got back to the house after grocery shopping, it had just past 12 noon. They got up so late and ate a late breakfast so they basically skipped lunch.
With such a long weekend ahead, GuQingPei became anxiously worried thinking of having to look at YuanYang all the time and having to prevent his sexual harassment from time to time.
The whole time, YuanYang really just stared directly at him without feeling a bit annoyed. Wherever GuQingPei went, YuanYang will follow along.
GuQingPei sighed, “You have nothing else to do?”
“What is there to do?” YuanYang looked around for a moment, “I don’t like to watch TV. How about you let me borrow your computer?”
“Nobody can touch my computer,” GuQingPei added, “Or cellphone or desktop.”
YuanYang snorted, “Why? Is there porn on there?”
“Yep,” GuQingPei instantly responded without hesitation, “Not appropriate for children.”
“I wanna see.”
“See your ass,” GuQingPei threw the TV remote control at him, “Go and watch cartoons.”
YuanYang angrily retorted, “If you keep on bullying me, I’m going to beat you up. I wanna watch the porn on your computer, the gay ones.”
GuQingPei waved his hand, “Not appropriate for you.”
“I wanna see it anyway. Didn’t you say that my bed skills are bad, I could learn from it.”
GuQingPei endured the impulse to slap him. Sighing heavily, he turned on his desktop computer and brought up video of a European and American muscle bear gay porn. He fasted forward to the most intensive part in the middle, “Here, look.”
YuanYang took a glance and immediately rolled his eyes, “Fuck, that’s disgusting.”
GuQingPei looked at him gloatingly, “Look, didn’t you want to learn?”
“You’re not a bit normal.”
“I like these abnormal things.”
“Move aside,” YuanYang pushed him away and grabbed the mouse. Resisting the nauseous feeling, he closed the video and searched through the other folders, finding one from Asia.
He found one with an attractive looking Japanese youth. But even so, YuanYang couldn’t bring himself to continue watching it. Why is it that when he sees other men moaning like that, he would feel so awkward and uncomfortable. But when he sees GuQingPei like that, he’d become aroused?
GuQingPei is sitting in the chair, staring at the screen with great eagerness.
YuanYang looked and him and angrily lashed out, “You’re so into it.”
“Yeah, he’s one of my favorite actors,” GuQingPei smiled with his eyes squinting, “He is the type I like.”
YuanYang turned and closed the video, then deleted it.
GuQingPei tried to save it but he wasn’t fast enough. When he quickly rushed to check, he realized that YuanYang had also deleted other GV’s with this actor’s name on it. He instantly gripped onto YuanYang’s arm, “Are you fucking crazy, these are my collections.”
YuanYang use one of his hands to hold onto GuQingPei’s hand, while his other hand continue to move onto other files, “Such bad taste. This guy has a crooked nose and is cross-eyed. His hairline is so high too. Can’t you find a good looking one to like?”
“What the hell does it matter to you?” GuQingPei’s arm reached past YuanYang’s neck. Using all his strength, he use the crook of his arm and curved it around YuanYang’s neck, trying to choke him.
This time, YuanYang couldn’t bear it, so he could only let go of his hand holding the mouse. He was pulled away from the seat by the crook of GuQingPei’s arm choking his neck.
GuQingPei instantly pushed him away, wanting to salvage his collection. Unfortunately, a few videos have been deleted.
He glared at YuanYang viciously, “You are definitely crazy.”
YuanYang hugged him from behind, reaching his hand from GuQingPei’s collar into his clothes, caressing his abs, “I don’t want to watch these videos. Isn’t it better to learn it directly from your body, hmmm?”
GuQingPei pulled his hand out of his clothes, “Why is your horny period so long? It should be over soon. I still have work to do, stop bothering me.”
YuanYang responded resentfully, “You still have to work on the weekends?”
GuQingPei sarcastically uttered, “If everyone is like you, they won’t even be able to eat or raise a family.” He turned on his laptop and copied some of his files to the desktop and then made some changes to a contract on the computer.
YuanYang moved a stool to sit next to him, watching him silently.
After a while, GuQingPei’s phone rang.
“Hello, Manager Li, how is that matter coming along?” GuQingPei listened attentively, his expression becoming more and more solemn. At the end, he gritted his teeth, “Fuck, the way this group of people do things… the other party must have bribed the Vice President. This case definitely can’t go to the CRIC. There are over dozen people on the judge panel. It’d be impossible to find out what the results may be. Adding on, this can drag on for at least half a year. The main concern is that the Vice President responsible for this refused to sign it, right? What is the name of this vice president?”
As the other side gave the name, GuQingPei entered it in a Baidu search. He opened the person’s resume and swept a glance, “He used to be a party branch secretary in XX city. I know this XX city’s minister from this organization. I’ll get in contact with him. This is confidential, don’t disclose it. Let Director Zhao continue to drag it, this absolutely can’t go to the CRIC. Drag it as long as we can.”
GuQingPei hung up the phone, his expression is not very good. He lowered his head to look at his address book and then dialed a number.
YuanYang just observed as GuQingPei’s expression immediately change, not just his expression but even his tone is radiant, “Hey, Wu Ge. It’s me. Still remember this old pal?”
“Aiyah, those two bottles of wine you remember till now? How bout I have my friend bring back a box from France. I’ll send you a half a box in a few days. No need to be so polite, Wu Ge took such good care of me when I went to XX city. I should.. I should…”
GuQingPei said some courtesy words for a few minutes before broaching the topic. The two talked about the vice president’s affairs for a long time. Although YuanYang couldn’t hear what the other person was saying, he could tell from GuQingPei’s expression that the situation is not too optimistic.
After GuQingPei hung up, he leaned back on the chair and looked at the resume on the computer screen, silently thinking about something.
YuanYang asked, “What happened? This person in Anhui is not willing to sign the case?”
“Yeah, the judge in charge of the case has already agreed. But don’t know if this vice president is afraid of taking responsibility or is bribed by the other party, he refuse to sign it. The case is obviously beneficial to us. If he doesn’t sign, it can only go to trial. After all, the other party is a local; the court will also have to consider local protection. It’s hard to say what the outcome may be,” GuQingPei mumbled. Finally, he looked at YuanYang and taunted, “Why am I telling Young Master Yuan about this? Would you even care?” He rubbed his brows, his face looking very tired.
Seeing GuQingPei’s anxious expression, YuanYang’s heart didn’t feel good, so much that even when GuQingPei mocked him, he didn’t even refute.
GuQingPei rummaged through his phone book and then made another phone call, wanting to get in contact with this vice president. If this matter is not resolved, not only will it be too risky, it will also delay them for a long a time and impact the overall process of the company’s return to market.
He made two phone calls in succession and both times, the news was not very optimistic. After thinking about it, he decided to call YuanLiJiang. If he put his heart in it, he might still be able to get in contact with the vice president, but it would definitely not be faster than YuanLiJiang.
YuanYang has been staring at the computer screen, looking at the person’s resume.
After GuQingPei hung up, YuanYang asked, “What did my dad say?”
“He said to ask around, there is always a way.”
“If there’s a way, you wouldn’t be worrying about it.”
“It’s easy for you to say Young Master Yuan,” GuQingPei shook his head. “This carefree look on you is very annoying.”
YuanYang is somewhat irritated and this feeling of being looked down by GuQingPei is really terrible. In GuQingPei’s eyes, he’s just a princeling that is not worthy of any respect. He has never been interested in doing business or cared about official matters. Nor did he care if others dislike him for being a good-for-nothing. What it means to be a respectable useful person? He’s too lazy to care about what others think, but being looked down upon by GuQingPei made him incessantly angry.
Moreover, seeing GuQingPei looking exhausted is really unbearable.
He turned to the computer screen and quickly read the resume, “This person, I can get in contact with him.”
GuQingPei raised his brows, “You?”
“I can.” He pointed to the work experience of this person on the resume from 1998 to 2003. “Director of the Administrative Review Office of the Legal Affairs Office of XX City, I have a buddy’s uncle who once served as the leader of the judicial system in XX city. The time period is basically the same.”
GuQingPei sat up straight, his eyes lit up, “Really?”
YuanYang stretched out his hand, “Give me your phone, I’ll make a call.”
GuQingPei was a bit suspicious, “Why don’t you use your own phone to call?”
YuanYang gritted his teeth, “No money for call charge, need me to remind you for the third time?”
GuQingPei wanted to laugh but resisted, “If it’s a work necessity, I’ll pay for your calls.” After saying that, he turned to the computer and directly added 1,000 yen to YuanYang’s phone.
YuanYang snorted. He grabbed his phone and went to the living room.
After walking two steps, he turned his head, “If I could do this, how are you going to thank me?”
GuQingPei crossed his legs and held his chin with his hand, squinting at him. “Even if you accomplish this, don’t think about sleeping with me.”
YuanYang smile, revealing a mouth of white teeth, “We’ll see what you will say at that time.”
