"Yes," Tan Yue glanced coldly at the people present, "It seems that I didn't introduce it clearly enough, he is my partner and has received a certificate."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Although it is said that when Tan Yue was introduced in the banquet hall just now, he did not use a boyfriend but a partner, they have already realized that the relationship between the two is close, and even guessed that the two may have been engaged.
But no one thought that the two were already married, after all, no wind had been heard.
Those two who were gossiping behind their backs just now were so frightened that their legs went limp.
The man reacted first, swallowed his saliva, and stood up to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, we just offended you because we didn't know Taishan and misunderstood the relationship between you and Mr. Tan."
"Yes," the woman echoed, "We are not angry and incompetent, so we can only use our tongues to speak ill of President Tan behind his back. We are willing to be responsible for our ignorance and unreasonableness, sorry."
The man bowed his head deeply: "I'm really sorry, please punish us, President Tan."
The immediate leaders of the two were really angry and angry when they heard that the two were speaking ill of Tan Yue behind their backs, and were caught by Song Linchu.
He first reprimanded the two of them, then wiped his cold sweat and smiled apologetically at Tan Yue.
"President Tan, they should be punished for this behavior. I suggest directly deducting their year-end bonus and thirteenth salary. As for Mr. Song's expulsion...I'm afraid it's not appropriate. The crime is not so serious. I hope President Tan thinks twice."
Tan Yue also frowned slightly. He knew that Song Linchu was trying to protect him, but this situation really wouldn't lead to expulsion.
However, it was Song Linchu's first appearance in front of people from their company, and the words had already been spoken, so he couldn't save his face.
Anyway, he was not a reasonable person.
Mr. Tan was about to be a foolish emperor for the sake of Song Linchu's face, when he heard Song Linchu chuckle.
"Do you really think that when I said I would fire you, it was because you chewed your tongue?"
Song Linchu said, turning to Tan Yue: "Brother, I suggest you check the projects they are in charge of or participate in. I just heard them say that they want to take the project materials they have now to the new company for benefits."
When the two of them said these words just now, Song Linchu didn't have time to talk to Tan Yue, so they didn't know about it.
I have to say that these two people are quite smart. When they saw that the incident was exposed, they immediately admitted their mistakes with a good attitude, trying to shift the focus to talking bad things, and miss the point.
When Song Linchu said this, not only the two of them, but even their immediate leaders and even Tan Yue frowned.
Tan Yue scolded coldly: "Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes." The immediate leader hurriedly took out his mobile phone while wiping his sweat.
The two of them knew that they were doomed, and their faces were ashamed. Fortunately, they had already found their next job. Even if they were fired, it would be affected a little, but it didn't matter. At worst, they voluntarily lowered their salaries, and the loss was not big.
When they were thinking this way, Tan Yue said coldly: "Cheng Bin, call the police."
"Yes, sir."
After Tan Yue finished speaking, he ignored the begging and crying of the two, and stretched out his hand to Song Linchu: "Let's go."
"good."
When the two walked out of the lounge, Song Linchu asked worriedly: "Brother, is the business information they leaked important, and will it cause any major losses to your company?"
"It's very important." Tan Yue said.
This is a new product project they are planning to release at the beginning of the year. It has been prepared for more than half a year. It is naturally very important to get off to a good start in one fell swoop.
Song Linchu's heart trembled, and he heard Tan Yue say: "But they should not have access to the core information."
Song Linchu: "..."
Damn, can you stop talking halfway.
Scared him to death.
However, without the core information, can you get the position of director?
If he remembered correctly, the director should be second only to the vice president.
Those two people switched jobs from a big group like Wan'ou. The other party must not be a small company, and a small company can't afford Wan'ou's projects. Has Wan'ou been so strong that non-core materials can get so many benefits?
Song Linchu was about to remind Tan Yue of the point he hadn't said just now, when he suddenly felt a weight on his hand, before he could react, he heard Tan Yue whisper, "Help me."
Song Linchu was startled, he quickly supported Tan Yue, and hurriedly said: "Brother, are you alright?"
Tan Yue said, "I'm a little bit too drunk, it doesn't hurt."
The annual meeting was recognized as a day when Tan Yue could be poured. Although many people hated him, there were always a few brave ones among the thousands of people. Anyway, the public should not be blamed for the crime. You can't do anything to them just because you poured him a few glasses of wine.
Tan Yue had already greeted Song Linchu in advance, he might be drunk today.
However, Tan Yue doesn't show his face at all when he drinks, and his eyes are so clear that no one can see that he is drunk at all.
"Does this really have no effect on your body?" Song Linchu asked worriedly.
He had asked Tan Yue this question before, and Tan Yue said it was fine, but Song Linchu was still worried.
After all, he is a terminally ill patient. Is it okay to drink so much alcohol?
Tan Yue still replied the same way: "It's all right."
What else did Song Linchu want to say when he saw the chief financial officer and another executive walking towards him.
The two of them were also flushed with wine at the moment, and the wine strengthened their courage. These executives who usually sweat coldly at a glance at Tan Yue, now one of them is more courageous than the other.
When the Chief Financial Officer saw Tan Yue, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Tan, I found you, and I didn't pay attention for a while, and you ran away without a trace."
"That's right, let's go and continue drinking."
Song Linchu said: "He drank too much and can't drink any more."
"Drink too much? I didn't see it. Isn't this quite sober?"
"That's right, Xiao Song, don't worry, Boss Tan may have drunk, at least drink so much, he won't get drunk."
Song Linchu wanted to say something, but the chief financial officer said boldly, "Mr. Tan, you're not going to be good this year, are you?"
How can a man be said to be no good? Even a person like Tan Yue who is indifferent and doesn't show emotion has become bloody, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Song Linchu: "..."
You are not good at all, why are you so strong!
Seeing Tan Yue returned to the banquet hall, Song Linchu was helpless and had a headache, Tan Yue himself said it was fine, he couldn't force the other party not to drink, it would ruin everyone's happiness like this.
He had no choice but to send a message to Butler Liu, asking him to prepare some sobering things. After thinking about it, he was worried, so he called the waiter and asked her to serve Tan Yue a bowl of sobering soup.

On the other side, Tan Mingqing's
Tan Mingqing had a party with his high school classmates, drank a little too much, and came home a little dizzy, and saw his uncle Tan Yuming sitting on the sofa at his house, his face a little heavy.
But he was not afraid of this uncle. He walked over and sat down beside him, and asked, "Uncle, why are you free to come over today? Didn't you go to my uncle's annual meeting?"
The annual meeting of Wan Ou Group will also invite some important partners.
Tan Mingqing was very surprised that he didn't participate in an important project that his uncle cooperated with Wan last year and was also his partner.
"Could it be that your condition has relapsed?"
"No," Tan Yuming said in a low voice, "he didn't invite me."
"Ah?" Tan Mingqing was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"I also want to know why," Tan Yuming looked at Tan Mingqing, "The last time I saw you coming back after your aunt's birthday party in a daze, I wanted to ask, Mingqing, did you offend your uncle?"
Tan Yuming didn't suspect his nephew out of thin air. Tan Yue asked him to limit Tan Mingqing's pocket money twice. Once, he was asked to only give him 1,000 a month. The second time, even Tan Mingqing's parents were not allowed to give him any more pocket money. He felt something was wrong.
And not only was he not invited to this annual meeting, he was also not invited to the reception held by another prominent figure in the Tan family a few days ago.
The combination of these doubts means that he was pushed out of the power center by Tan Yue, and he was related to Tan Mingqing.
Hearing this, Tan Mingqing woke up with a fright from the wine.
"No, no." He subconsciously denied.
Tan Yuming looked at him: "Really not."
"Well," Tan Mingqing didn't dare to look at his uncle, "You know, how can I, a small person like me, have a chance to offend my uncle."
Tan Yuming heard the same thing, and said: "He must be thinking about my body. After all, my broken body...cough cough cough, it is really not suitable for those occasions."
"..." There was a trace of struggle in Tan Mingqing's eyes.
Tan Yuming patted him on the shoulder: "Your uncle is right. When you come to work in the company next year, I will pay you according to your performance. It may be a bit difficult at first, but when you get started, it will not be a problem to restore your previous pocket money."
Tan Mingqing was so trusted by his uncle, he felt guilty, hesitantly said: "Actually, I..."
"Um?"
"No, it's nothing." Tan Mingqing touched his nose, but he didn't say anything after all.
Tan Yuming sat for a while, then got up and left, Tan Mingqing watched his uncle's car go away, his eyes dimmed.
He took out his mobile phone and opened Liang Xinxin's chat box.
It's Tan, not Tang: Sister, are you there?
It's Tan, not Tang: I did a wrong thing, but when the victim came to me, I didn't admit it.
It's Tan, not Tang: It's not that I didn't have the courage to admit it, but I just denied it out of my mind at the time. I regret it now, what should I do?
Liang Xinxin is a kind and understanding flower. From her side, it seems that everything can be forgiven and tolerated, and she will give a good solution.
Tan Mingqing found that no matter what happened, the first thing he thought of was always her.
He has become a bit inseparable from her.
Last time he impulsively confessed his love to her, but Liang Xinxin didn't respond to him positively. Even after that, those who ignored him would sometimes send her a message and only reply the next day or even the next day.
However, the message she replied was still the gentle and considerate woman, not ambiguous, and it could be seen that she had a crush on him.
Tan Mingqing was soon driven mad by her indifferent attitude, and decided to formally confess his love to her on Valentine's Day.
Thinking of this, the phone in his hand vibrated. He thought it was Liang Xinxin who had returned it, so he opened it immediately, only to find that it was Su Zhan.
Su Zhan: Husband, what are you doing, I miss you so much~
A trace of disgust flashed in Tan Mingqing's eyes, and he chose to ignore it.
***
The scene of the annual meeting.
The last special prize was drawn, and the banquet was pulled to the climax and came to an end.
Song Linchu, an African, didn't get anything, and there were many other Africans like him, so they all booed and asked Tan Yue to continue to add more prizes.
Tan Yue was given another round of alcohol, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was drunk.
Drunk Mr. Tan waved his hand and drew 8888 cash red envelopes. Listening to the cheers of the employees on site, Song Linchu finally understood what those two people said about last year when Tan Yue was drunk and spilled hundreds of thousands of red envelopes.
He is so bitter, and he really wants to be an employee of Wan'ou.
Is the boss's partner also considered as an employee of Wan'ou?
But why didn't he get a prize.
Oh, it turns out that he is African, that's okay.
The banquet was over and everyone started to leave.
Tan Yue was more indifferent than usual when he was drunk, and as soon as he sat there, the others scattered like birds and beasts.
"Brother, let's go back too." Song Linchu walked over and said to Tan Yue.
Tan Yue's reaction was a little slow, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then stretched out his hand like an old man, waiting for him to help.
Song Linchu inexplicably felt that Mr. Tan like this was kind of cute, so he stretched out his hand to hold Tan Yue's hand, and helped him up from the seat.
Tan Yue swayed twice as soon as he stood up, Song Linchu hurriedly helped him stand still, and Cheng Bin on the side also came to help.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Tan Yue avoided his hand in disgust, and put his whole focus on Song Linchu.
"..."
Cheng Bin touched his nose in embarrassment. He used to help Tan Yue get drunk. He never thought that one day, he would be rejected.
Song Linchu, a little otaku, didn't have much strength, but now he felt that Mount Tai was overwhelmed, and both of them almost fell to the ground.
"Brother, brother?"
"It's okay," Tan Yue said in a deep voice, using his strength to stand up straight, "Let's go."
Song Linchu was a little skeptical, but Tan Yue had already taken the lead. He probably just felt dizzy from a sudden jerk, but with his support, he got into the car fairly smoothly.
The car was driving smoothly on the wide road. The Haidu people went to the city a few years ago, and the city was empty, and there was no usual stream of cars outside the window, only the dim lights intertwined.
Song Linchu was worried about Tan Yue, and his attention was always on him.
Tan Yue leaned on the back seat of the car, but his gaze fell out of the window.
The light from outside was projected in through the car window and fell on the man's indifferent face, flickering on and off.
For some reason, Song Linchu saw a trace of loneliness in this powerful man.
"Brother..." Song Linchu hesitated and wanted to ask him if he was okay, but he was afraid it was his illusion.
Tan Yue still looked out of the window, and suddenly said: "Today is my mother's death day."
Song Linchu was taken aback.
It turns out that Tan Yue's mother passed away on this day.
He didn't know how to comfort Tan Yue, seeing Tan Yue put his hands on his knees, stretched out his hands, and covered him.
"Don't be sad." Song Linchu said.
"It's not sad," Tan Yue said softly, "She passed away when I was six years old, and I don't have much memory of her."
Song Linchu was surprised, did Tan Yue's mother pass away so early?
He didn't know about Tan Yue's family. He only knew that he had an elder brother and his nephew Tan Mingqing, but they didn't seem to be too close. Anyway, Song Linchu and Tan Yue had been together for so long. Except for his birthday last time, he had never seen them visit the door.
Tan Mingqing said that his relationship with Tan Yue was so close, which turned out to be a lie.
Damn, even a pure male college student like him can be fooled!
Song Linchu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Actually, my mother almost left me at this time."
"Huh?" Tan Yue withdrew his gaze and looked at him.
Song Linchu smiled wryly, and said, "I just passed my 18th birthday. My mother may think that I am an adult, so she is relieved, and my health is getting worse. It must be about this time, and the doctors have told me to prepare for it."
"I was in the third year of high school and my studies were heavy. In order to let me study, my class teacher asked his wife to come over and take care of my mother. Their daughter and I had a lot of common topics. I don't know if the topic of the college entrance examination inspired my mother. Her health improved miraculously. By the end of my third year of high school, she even helped with cooking and cleaning. Even the doctor said it was a miracle, but..."
Speaking of this, Song Linchu paused for a moment, his voice was obviously lonely: "The day my college entrance examination ended, she suddenly fainted without warning, and then never woke up again, and she didn't even take a look at the college entrance examination results that she was obsessed with."
After Song Linchu finished speaking, he felt that the hand he was holding was holding him instead.
Song Linchu smiled at him, and said, "Brother, you don't need to comfort me, I've already been relieved, at least she didn't worry about it when she left."
Tan Yue didn't speak, just squeezed his hand.
There is no way, the straight dog man really can't say anything to comfort him.
The car stopped slowly in the courtyard of Tan's house. Tan Yue's metabolic ability was top-notch, and he was able to get out of the car by himself after twenty minutes of effort.
Song Linchu received a call from his cousin, who was coming next year, and wanted to ask him to help him look at the house, because the consumption in Haidu is very high, if you come here and stay in a hotel while looking for a house, you can’t afford it, so let Song Linchu live here, he has no guts.
He is afraid of Tan Yue.
Song Linchu agreed to help him take a look, and chatted a few more words, he hung up the phone, and returned to the living room but did not see Tan Yue.
"Where's brother?" Song Linchu asked Butler Liu.
"Sir, went upstairs, and he didn't drink the hangover soup."
"He drank it in the hotel. Is there any honey water? I'll send him a cup."
"Yes, just wait a moment."
Butler Liu went to the kitchen and came out with a cup of honey water after a while. Song Linchu took out his mobile phone to send a message to Tan Yue while going upstairs.
Xiao Songlin: Brother, are you asleep yet?
Tan Yue: No.
Xiao Songlin: I'll bring you honey water, you open the door.
Tan Yue: No lock, just go in.
When receiving this news, Song Linchu had already arrived at Tan Yue's door, so he unceremoniously turned the doorknob and walked into Tan Yue's room.
This is Song Linchu's first time entering Tan Yue's room. The layout of the room is very Tan Yue, with warm colors, simple and elegant.
Tan Yue was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine in his hand - there was a wine cabinet in his room.
Song Linchu snatched the red wine glass from his hand, and said fiercely: "Don't drink it, drink this."
He stuffed the honey water into his hand.
Tan Yue first raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, then a smile flashed in his eyes, without any resistance, he took it and drank it slowly.
Song Linchu stared at him as he finished drinking, then took the empty glass in his hand, intending to take it away with the red wine glass to save him from drinking again.
Before leaving, he suddenly moved to Tan Yue's side, and before he could react, he raised his head and kissed him on the mouth.
The taste of honey still remained on Tan Yue's lips, which was sweet.
This was the most daring move that a short man in action made in his life. Song Linchu didn't dare to look at Tan Yue at all, and ran away quickly with a blushing face.
After being "molested" Tan Yue subconsciously reached out to catch him, but Song Linchu ran faster than a rabbit, his head was still dizzy and he didn't catch him.
"Good night, brother."
The little rabbit ran to the door, turned around and said something, with a look of pride on his face, and then disappeared in a hurry.
