In Shanghai, when Yang also stopped at the Bund for a long time, the thoughts in his head slowly drifted back to his mind.

Yang Yi took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket and looked at the time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and before he knew it, Yang Yi had been standing on the Bund for more than two hours.

Yang was also very "stingy" to turn on the network of his mobile phone.

Yang Yi looked at the vibrating information in his hand, and roughly browsed it, among the dozens of messages, only one was sent by a familiar person, that was Lin Yue in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and the rest were all news pushes from various apps.

It was as if he had been forgotten by the world, and few people remembered him anymore.

Yang Yi edited a message to reply to Lin Yue, then opened the address book, found Yan Jia's phone and dialed it.

Yan Jia, this Inner Mongolian girl is the first person Yang Yi met when he came to Shanghai, and her face is always full of youthful smiles, lively and enthusiastic.

"Hey, Brother Yang?" Yan Jia's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to a meal tonight, thank you for the house you found me. Yang Yi said.

"Ah, it's okay, it's all a little effort, Brother Yang, you don't have to be so polite. Yan Jia replied on the other end of the phone as if she was a little embarrassed.

"It's a lot of work for you, but it's a big deal for me. Yang Yi said with a smile.

"When do you get off work, I'll wait for you downstairs in your company. ”

"Leave work at six o'clock. Yan Jia replied.

"Is your company the last place we met?" Yang Yi continued to ask, after all, the two had only met once, and Yang was not very sure about some information.

"Well, there's where. Yan Jia nodded and replied on the phone.

In the end, Yan Jia still didn't say anything about Yang Yi, so she could only nod her head and agree.

After Yang Yi hung up the phone, he took the subway to the downstairs of the rental company where he rented the house last time, and waited for Yan Jia to get off work.

The night slowly shrouded Shanghai, the lights of the cars on the streets were also turned on, and Shanghai revealed its charming side again.

Seeing that there was no one around him, Yang Yi took out the last inferior cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, crumpled the empty cigarette case into a ball, put it in his trouser pocket, and stood on the side of the road to swallow the smoke.

"Brother Yang. Yan Jia, who had finished work, shouted Yang Yi across the road and waved his hand.

Yang Yi heard Yan Jia's voice and turned his head, only to see that Yan Jia had already changed out of his original professional clothes, wearing a white dress, his long hair was pulled back of his head, and he had a faint smile on his face.

The green light on the sidewalk lit up, Yan Jia was like a beautiful elf in the forest, jumping towards Yang Yiran, before anyone arrived, Yan Jia's faint body fragrance quietly floated in.

"Brother Yang. Yan Luojia, who came to Yang Yi's side, smiled slightly and said softly.

"Why are you so happy? Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"I'm so happy every day, I can't be so sad all the time. Yan Jia playfully stuck out her tongue and replied.

"That's right, life is too short, so you have to be happy in time. Yang also echoed Yan Jia's words and said with a smile. It's just that the gloom in the depths of his eyes quietly crosses.

"What do you want to eat?" Yang Yi asked.

"Whatever, Brother Yang, what do you like to eat?"

"I'm not a picky eater, I can eat even steamed buns?"

"I don't like to eat steamed buns at all, I'd rather be hungry than eat them, they don't taste at all. ”

When Yang Yi heard Yan Jia's words, he could only shake his head helplessly, and in the end, the two decided to eat Haidilao hot pot.

Haidilao, the full name of Sichuan Haidilao Catering Co., Ltd., was established in 1994, is a large-scale cross-provincial direct catering brand hot pot restaurant mainly engaged in Sichuan flavor hot pot and integrating the characteristics of hot pot from all over the world, the founder Daniel Zhang.

On May 17, 2008, Haidilao International Holdings submitted a listing application on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and announced that its shares would be offered to the public in Hong Kong, China from September 12, and on September 19, Haidilao determined the final issue price of HK$17.8 per share, with a market value of HK$200 billion as of October 2019, and Haidilao ranked 35th in the TOP100 list of smart retail potential in 2019.

Of course, what the public cares about most is the taste of Haidilao and the imperial service.

When Yang Yi and Yan Luojia ordered good food, they chatted, last time because Yan Jia's company was in a hurry, in fact, the two did not know each other in depth, and they knew little about each other.

"Brother Yang, why did you think of coming to Shanghai? Are there any classmates here?" Yan Jia asked.

Yang Yi habitually touched his trouser pocket and found that the cigarette boxes had been thrown away by himself, and this was a public place, and he couldn't smoke.

"No, I don't have any classmates from Shanghai, so I want to come and see it, so I came. Yang also replied.

"It's a girl's family, why did you come to Shanghai alone after graduating from college, and you don't know the bottom of life here. Yang Yi asked rhetorically.

Yan Jia lowered her head and took a sip of juice, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said, "Brother Yang, like you, I also want to come to see Shanghai, but it's just ............"

"I just found that although Shanghai is beautiful, it is a little cruel. ”

Yang Yi opened his mouth to continue what Yan Jia had not finished speaking.

"Ah, Brother Yang, do you feel this way too?" Yan Jia asked in surprise.

In fact, this is not a secret, but for college students like Yan Jia who just graduated from the first complete contact with the society after graduation, there is always some discomfort, maybe some college students are in the stars on campus and outstanding, but as soon as they step into the cruel reality of society, the sense of superiority from the university will be pierced into a thousand holes and shattered.

"I'll just say casually, I haven't been to college, and I don't know what you recent college graduates think, I'm just thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person. Yang Yi shook his head slightly and replied.

"By the way, Brother Yang, you called me in the afternoon and said that you found a job, what kind of job did you find?" Yan Jia asked curiously with big eyes.

"I've got a job at an Internet technology company, and I'm what you call a programmer. Yang also replied.

"Oh?" Hearing Yang Yi's words, Yan Jia looked at Yang Yi very suspiciously.

Looking at Yan Jia's puzzled expression, Yang Yi could only explain: "Do you think I didn't go to college? Why did I find such a job? It's a bit unreasonable." ”

Yang Yi said with a smile.

Yang Yi's words made Yan Jia a little embarrassed, but Yang Yi didn't care at all, compared to Yan Jia's doubts, there were more people who looked at them with idiotic eyes before, and slowly, Yang Yi got used to it.

Unconsciously, Yang Yi's personality became more and more calm, and he was no longer like a powder keg that exploded at a moment's notice.

Yang Yi continued: "I have been interested in computers since I was a child, so I taught myself a little, and last time I also had the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to get an interview." ”

"Wow, Brother Yang, you are so good, teach yourself how to use computers. Yan Jia looked at Yang Yi with some admiration.

"That's nothing, by the way, you told me last time you were going to change jobs, how was it?"

"Well, I'm leaving my job in the next few days and I'm looking for a training teacher to teach piano lessons, and I was going to let you guess my new job. Yan Jia said.

This time it was Yang Yi's turn to be surprised, after listening to Yan Jia's words, he nodded slightly, and said: "This job is indeed more suitable for you, after all, you are a girl who comes into contact with different people every day, and it is also a little unsafe." ”

Just as Yan Jia was about to speak again, he saw that the lights in the Haidilao store suddenly dimmed.

A middle-aged man walked out of the Haidilao store, holding a microphone in his hand and said: "I'm very sorry to disturb everyone's meal, our store is doing an event today to draw out ten lucky customers who are free of charge, and at the same time, as long as those sitting here can perform a show that everyone recognizes, our store will not only be free of charge, but will also give out a mysterious gift." ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed and apologized to the customers present again, and I have to say that Haidilao's service is indeed very thoughtful.

Then the middle-aged man continued: "For this event, the store also prepared a variety of props to help everyone better show their talents, whether it is singing, dancing, piano, violin to meet everyone's needs as much as possible. ”

Yang also heard the words of the middle-aged man, and secretly smacked his tongue, Haidilao really has nothing to say in terms of winning the hearts of customers.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Yi thought of Yan Jia, who was sitting opposite him.

Looking at Yang Yi's eyes, Yan Jia, who was still being surprised by the activities that Haidilao was preparing for tonight, said, "Brother Yang, don't you want me to play a piano piece yet." ”

Yang Yi smiled and nodded.

Yan Jia was not hypocritical when she heard Yang Yi's words, she showed the unrestrained temperament of the Mongolian people, and said: "Okay, since Brother Yang wants to hear it, then I'll give it a try, but Brother Yang, don't laugh at me." ”

Yang also called the waiter, told the waiter his thoughts, and after a while, the stage began to be arranged with a piano.

When the piano was arranged, the lights in the Haidilao restaurant were even dimmer, and the middle-aged man on the stage took the microphone in his hand and said to the diners: "Then, we have the first guest performer tonight." ”

Bang, there was a cheer in the Haidilao store.

A beam of white light shrouded Yan Jia's whole person, which was particularly bright in the dim store, Yan Jia looked beautiful under the light, Allure's cheeks were less mature and more youthful, big eyes, slender eyelashes, high nose bridge, this face was like a master's meticulous carving, and the surrounding customers also began to applaud.

Yan Jia stood up a little nervously, looking at Yang Yi with some uneasiness, Yang Yi showed a smile and an encouraging look at Yan Jia.

After seeing Yang Yi's encouraging eyes, Yan Jia slowly calmed down her somewhat nervous look and slowly walked to the stage under the light.

At this moment, Yan Jia is the protagonist of the entire Haidilao.
