Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 79

Beloved Enemy Chapter 79
FEBRUARY 21, 2019 ~ ROSYSPELL
After hanging out with WangJin for three days, GuQingPei finally determined that the main purpose of WangJin’s visit was to persuade him to work for him.

He spent the whole day thinking about it. There are various advantages in going to WangJin’s company. But there is an inescapable difficulty, and that is WangJin’s affections toward him. The two only meet up after a long while, yet WangJin had been so attentive to him. If they were to see each other all the time, he would have to expend a lot of time and effort to deal with him.

It will not be hard to do so, but thinking about it is agitating.

But all things are like this, there must be some gains and losses. Nothing in the world can make people feel completely at ease. He only needs to compare the pros and cons. As long as the many benefits outweigh the disadvantages, then it is worth a try.

The appointment letter WangJin handed him had many great benefits. Just the annual salary alone is very impressive, not to mention the shares and dividends that WangJin promised after joining the company for a year, as well as access to the projects with huge profits that will also enable him to come in contact with the higher ups. These tangible and intangible benefits are all like an invitation to GuQingPei. As long as he nods his head, his career will be get a qualitative leap.

This is almost a life-saving straw for him now.

If he didn’t return to the business world with a perfectly eye-pleasing attitude, then everyone’s last impression of him would be that foolish homosexual who was forced to resign from YuanLiJiang’s company after having his sex photos exposed. If he can’t stay in Beijing, he can only fucking return to his hometown and become everyone’s laughing stock. But if he returned with the status as WangJin’s assistant, at most, people will just pat him on the shoulders and mocked him with a sentence, “Director Gu is such a philanderer (playboy).”

Reality is such a bitch. One soaring and one falling into hell, when thinking of these two completely different landscapes, GuQingPei increasingly felt that he almost have no choice.

Now except for WangJin, no one will give him such opportunity. And if he didn’t have this opportunity, he will fall into the biggest crisis of his life. He doesn’t know how much he will have to endure. In particular, he does not know how much his parents will have to endure because of him.

It’s no wonder that WangJin already have all this thought out, so he was not the least bit anxious in spending this time in dawdling with him. Because WangJin had already seen through his situation clearly.

While GuQingPei lamented on the depths of WangJin’s scheming efforts, he also felt unusually heavy over his own predicament.

He had been escaping these days, not wanting to think of the photos, of other people’s reactions, and of the consequences because he is afraid. But WangJin’s appearance forced him to return to reality. He finally calmed down to analyze his plight and come to realize that the impact this incident will have on him is even more serious than he thought.

With careful analysis, he can conclude that he has no way out. He either accepts the position given to him by WangJin or fucking return home like a mourning dog.

He, GuQingPei, had always been proud and arrogant, never losing to people, how could he accept the latter?

However, if he really went to WangJin’s company, then YuanYang…. YuanYang would definitely go crazy. Even thinking of YuanYang now, his heart is still struggling with pain.

He loves YuanYang.

He did not expect that at his age, that there would be such complete pure love. He completely loves YuanYang, regardless of any other factors. This was a surprising realization even to himself.

But he also hates YuanYang.

Just as he was about to let go of it all, giving up all his accomplishments from his more than a decade of struggles to start over with YuanYang, YuanYang used the most intolerably embarrassing thing to directly attack him.

And just when he could finally let go of these insecurities in his heart, violating his own principles and made such great determination to walk down this road with YuanYang, he experienced the taste of being shamed and humiliated to the extreme.

He really can’t forgive him.

GuQingPei only needed to think of YuanYang and his head would start to hurt. He hurled himself onto the bed and buried his face deep in the blanket. This kind of agony in his heart is indescribable. He could only let the agony silently cease.

There was knocking on the door, he didn’t have to think and already knew who it was.

GuQingPei wiped his face and got up to open the door for WangJin. WangJin was holding a tray in his hand, on it is a plate of sumptuous seafood pasta.

“You didn’t leave your room this entire afternoon, you should be hungry.”

“Wang Ge, you can just call room service to bring it.”

“It’s okay, since I’m not doing anything.”

GuQingPei made some space on the table and sat cross-legged on a chair. He was really hungry. So not caring for his image, he dived into the food.

WangJin looked at him, smiling,

After GuQingPei finished his meal, WangJin informs him, “I have to catch a flight to Germany for a very important negotiation. It may take me two or three days before I can return, will you wait for me?”

GuQingPei was secretly relieved. He didn’t respond directly, “The vacation I planned is not over yet.”

WangJin laughed, “When I return, will you be able to give me an answer? I have a project that is short of a leader, you are most suitable.”

GuQingPei nodded, “When you come back, I’ll have an answer.”

WangJin patted him on the shoulder, “Well, I look very much forward to it.” He stood up and gave him a bit of advice, “Don’t always stay in the air-conditioned room during the day. Go stroll around. Your complexion is really not good.”

GuQingPei can’t help but touch his face.

WangJin smiled, “Even though, you’re is still very handsome.”

GuQingPei also smiled.

WangJin gave his farewell, then turned and left.

GuQingPei called him from behind, “Wang Ge.”

WangJin turned around.

GuQingPei said sincerely, “Wang Ge, no matter what, I’m very grateful to you.”

After this incident happened, WangJin was the only person who was willing to help him. Although YuanYang was also willing, he was incapable, making this even more depressing.

WangJin blew him a flying kiss, and walked away smiling.

After WangJin left, GuQingPei sat in front of the laptop for a long time before finally opening it to check his emails. Sure enough, there were several emails from his friends, some were very vague and some were very straightforward. However, most of them were sent by YuanYang, using the subject line to ask him briefly where he was, what he did today, and when he will return.

GuQingPei stared at the two characters “YuanYang” for a long time, then moved his mouse and deleted all the unread emails.

Then he picked up his cell phone and pondered for a long time, but still threw it into the luggage. When he thought of how many missed calls and messages he will receive after turning on his phone, he finds himself mentally exhausted.

Suddenly, the telephone in his room rang.

GuQingPei was shocked as he moved to the other side of the bed to pick up the phone. Before he could even speak, a voice that he was all too familiar with sounded on the other side.

“GuQingPei.”

GuQingPei stared in a daze, “YuanYang?” How could he call here? But when he thought of WangJin being able to find him here, then it’s not surprising that YuanYang’s call could also come.

But it’s just that YuanYang’s tone is strange.

YuanYang’s voice sounds like it was coming from the gloomiest abyss, so chilling that it made people’s scalp numb, “You and WangJin are together?”

This is not a question but an interrogation.

GuQingPei was silent for a moment, “How do you know?”

“How do I know?” YuanYang almost sneered out of his teeth, “I shouldn’t have known, right? Unfortunately, he sent pictures of the both of you to my cell phone… so eager to let me know. Why don’t you explain it?”

GuQingPei’s heart sank, “I’m not obligated to explain it to you.” After saying that, he wanted to hang up.

“GuQingPei!” YuanYang shouted on the other end, “Listen! However way you want to torment me, I won’t utter a word. What I owe you, I can’t compensate fully. But if you dare to betray me, I’ll make you regret giving others a second glance.”

GuQingPei slammed the phone down, ending the call. He looked up at the ceiling stiffly and took a deep breath.
