Cao Yaru sorted out her feelings and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mayor Zou?"

"I originally wanted to invite you to dinner......" Looking at Cao Zhihong, Zou Feng said a little embarrassed: "However, Mr. Cao has just come back from abroad, you don't seem to be very convenient......"

"No, it's convenient, I'm very convenient. Cao Yaru immediately stood up: "You invited me last time, I should invite you today, let's go!"

"This ......" Zou Feng didn't react for a while, and only said to Cao Zhihong after a while: "Then, Mr. Cao, let's go first." Another day, when I have time, I will definitely entertain Mr. Cao. ”

"Go ahead. Cao Zhihong smiled slightly: "I won't participate in the affairs of you young people." ”

Zou Feng and Cao Yaru left quickly, Zou Feng didn't say anything, and drove directly to a place with Cao Yaru.

Cao Yaru didn't want to quarrel with her father, so she followed Zou Feng out, and waited until Zou Feng stopped the car before she remembered to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll give you something. Zou Feng smiled slightly, took out a delicate gift box, and opened it to see a very beautiful gold necklace inside.

Gold is not very valuable these days, especially with Cao Yaru's identity, it seems a little cheesy to wear a gold necklace.

However, this necklace is a masterful workmanship, drawing gold into very fine filaments that are stacked together to form the shape of a rose. There are also two green leaves around, and the material is glass jadeite, which is almost as transparent as glass, clear and turquoise, and looks pleasing to the eye.

Cao Yaru was stunned: "What are you doing here?"

"I said it, I'll give you some gifts...... Zou Feng smiled again: "I went shopping a few days ago, and when I saw this necklace, I thought it was very suitable for you, so I bought it." ”

"No merit is not worthless. Cao Yaru shook her head: "I have no reason to accept your gift. ”

"You see, it's just an ordinary gift between friends, and nothing else. If you don't want to go, can you give me a gift in return? After a pause, Zou Feng said again: "More importantly, I gave you this necklace to let you accompany me to do an experiment." ”

"What test?"

"You take it first, and I'll sue you later. ”

Cao Yaru hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay." ”

Zou Feng immediately picked up the necklace and personally put it on Cao Yaru's neck, and couldn't stop praising it: "It's so beautiful, it's like it's custom-made for you...... Of course, Xiaoru, you are beautiful no matter what you bring!"

"Can you now say, what kind of experiments are you going to do?"

Zou Feng got out of the car, came to the passenger seat, opened the car door and said to Cao Yaru: "Can you go shopping with me?"

"Good. Cao Yaru got out of the car, looked around, and found that it was relatively backward and not as prosperous as the city center at all.

"In the early years, Guangsha was a special economic zone, and this is the jurisdiction of Guangsha outside the special zone, which is collectively referred to as Guanwai. Although the concept of special economic zones has not been used in recent years, the argument of inside and outside the customs has continued. Pointing around, Zou Feng continued: "The reason why a historical concept can continue to this day, a very important factor is the issue of public security, you are a native of Guangsha, you don't need me to say that you should know how chaotic the law and order outside the customs are!"

"I know. ”

"The bikers outside the gate are very rampant, and girls usually dare not wear gold and silver jewelry on the street, otherwise they are likely to rush a motorcycle from behind, and the people on it will reach out and snatch the jewelry. If you lose something, you can buy it again, and often people will be hurt by it......" Zou Feng pointed to the street under his feet, and asked word by word: "Now, let's go from here to there to see if someone robs you." ”

"This is the test to be done?"

"Do you dare?"

"What don't you dare?!" Cao Yaru smiled confidently: "I really haven't seen the biker like anything!"

The two of them walked slowly along the street, shoulder to shoulder.

The street is not very wide, but it is very busy, and there are many people everywhere, and motorcycles often pass by.

At first, Cao Yaru was a little nervous, worried that she would really meet the bikers.

But after walking more than a hundred meters away, the legendary biker party did not appear, and the people passing by just paid attention to the road in front of them, and no one cared about the necklace around Cao Yaru's neck, although the necklace was so eye-catching.

"I'm glad you can accompany me on this trial. With a long breath, Zou Feng said meaningfully: "It's a bit risky for us to do this, and I didn't want to do this either." But after thinking about it, if I don't have confidence in myself, why should the people believe me?"

Cao Yaru nodded: "You're right. ”

"So, if you are hurt here today, I, Zou Feng, will immediately resign and leave, and I will never appear in the city of Guangsha again, and I will never see you Cao Yaru again. Glancing at Cao Yaru, Zou Feng said tentatively: "But if nothing happens to us, I hope you can give me some confidence!"

Cao Yaru lowered her head and let out some unnatural "um".

On a long street, two people walked from one side to the other without any accidents, which made Zou Feng and Cao Yaru all breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, an old lady staggered by, saw the necklace around Cao Yaru's neck, and smiled: "The girl on the thin road is so bold." ”

This is a Cantonese dialect, Zou Feng didn't understand: "What did you say?"

Cao Yaru translated next to her: "What she means is that I, a little girl, are so bold." ”

Zou Feng asked knowingly, "Why?"

Cao Yaru acted as a translator, and the old lady said slowly: "This street, in the past, the biker party was very powerful, and girls didn't dare to walk here. But now that they're all caught, you can rest assured. ”

Zou Feng smiled: "Yes." ”

"Thank you, Mayor Zou. The old lady took a long breath: "But if Mayor Zou is transferred, I don't know what will become of this place, and the girls still have to be more careful." ”

Zou Feng smiled and nodded at the old lady, didn't say anything more, and strode forward.

Cao Yaru hurriedly caught up: "What's wrong with you?"

"Happy. Zou Feng laughed: "However, I don't know if I will be transferred myself, and I may even be brought down by someone, so I can't respond to the old man's words." ”

"Yes. Cao Yaru nodded: "Today's adventure between the two of us has given me a new understanding of you." ”

Zou Feng smiled: "What kind of new understanding?"

"I didn't agree with your methods before, but now I feel that sometimes maybe the means are really secondary, and the result is the most important. With a long sigh, Cao Yaru said with a little emotion: "You have indeed improved the security of Guangsha and made the people's lives rest assured, but all kinds of criticism are fleeting in comparison." ”

"I'm very happy that you can say that. ”

Cao Yaru looked at the time: "I'm hungry, let's eat." ”

"Okay, didn't you say to invite me, I see what you invite me to eat?"

"I'm here to drive. Cao Yaru took Zou Feng's car keys, drove directly back to the CBD, and came to a noodle restaurant.

Sandwiched between two high-rise buildings, this noodle restaurant is very small in size, and I don't know if it is an illegal building.

Zou Feng glanced up at the shabby sign: "Ding Fat Ramen?"

"Do you think you are the only one who can eat barbecue shirtless?" Cao Yaru smiled: "I will also eat roadside stalls!"

The boss here is as his name suggests, a fat man surnamed Ding, and when he saw Cao Yaru, he hurriedly greeted: "What does Mr. Cao want to eat?"

"Two bowls of ramen, thin leek leaves, you look at it and have some side dishes. ”

"Okay. "Fat Ding went to work immediately.

Zou Feng was a little curious: "The boss here knows you?"

"yes. Cao Yaru sighed: "Sometimes I am too busy with work and don't have time to eat lunch, so I just deal with it here." Don't look at the small shop, the taste is very good. ”

"That's a good taste. Zou Feng opened the shelf and prepared to eat: "People often say that the best food is on the roadside. ”

"Nope. Cao Yaru immediately denied Zou Feng's statement: "Roadside stalls are delicious, but the most delicious thing in the world is not here...... I miss the feeling of being back then. ”

"How did you feel back then?"

"When I was a child, my family was very poor, and occasionally I had a little pocket money, so I would run out with my classmates to eat ramen. Sighing, Cao Yaru said a little sadly: "Now a bowl of ramen for seven yuan is simply a supreme delicacy at that time." ”

"I see. ”

"However, although it was poor, it was a beautiful time. The sky is so blue, as if waiting for you to spread your wings and soar. You love painting and music and have a lot of amazing ideals. At that time, you had a lot of treasures, maybe just worthless toys or pebbles, but you were careful to hide them in places that no one else knew about. Many years later, the strings of the guitar are rusty, the brushes are dusty, the gray sky is full of PM2.5, you live in a mansion and look at a room full of designer clothes and perfumes but always feel like you have nothing, often get on planes and are tired of running around to cheat or be cheated ......" Haha laughed, Cao Yaru's tone was a little sad: "I really want to drink some wine to commemorate the past that I can never go back to." ”

Zou Feng felt that Cao Yaru's love today was not quite right, and he seemed to be particularly emotional, and he didn't know what was going on.

How did he know that Cao Yaru's so-called "classmates" just now were not plural, but only referring to a certain person, that is, Cang Hao.

Zou Feng felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Cao, that is, uncle, why did he suddenly come back from abroad?"

"Deal with the company's business. ”

"Why is Cang Hao there?"

Cao Yaru was a little impatient: "Didn't you sue sù to deal with the company's affairs, Cang Hao is the person of the company." ”

"Oh. Zou Feng didn't dare to ask again.

While Cao Yaru and Zou Feng were eating ramen, Cao Zhihong said abruptly in the office: "In the past few years, I haven't disciplined Xiaoru much, making her more and more willful!"

"Actually, I can understand...... Cang Hao didn't care that this was Cao Yaru's office, lit a cigarette and took a puff: "After so many years, we have all changed, and the thing I am most worried about when I return to Guangsha is that I can't face the changes that the years have brought to everyone." ”

Cao Zhihong pointed to himself: "I won't change your godfather!"

"That's because you are an elder, and we are still young, and we are always changing ......" shrugging his shoulders, Cang Hao said sadly: "When I was a child, I felt that the sky was high and I could fly, and I had many great ideals to achieve. When you grow up, you know that the growth of people is such a process, your ideals are shrinking, your personality is becoming more and more angular, and many of your hobbies eventually become intrigue with others. ”

Cang Hao and Cao Yaru didn't know that the two of them said two similar sentences in different places and under different circumstances.

Maybe the two childhood sweethearts resonated spiritually at this moment.
