The day after the end of the Qi Group's annual meeting, it happened to be Saturday, and it was also the time for Lan Yu to take her graduation photos. Actually, I lied to her that day, and it wasn't that I really didn't have time to take part in her graduation photo, but I deliberately said that so that I could know how she was feeling. If her hostility towards me is no longer so deep, then this is the turning point in the relationship.

Lan Yu took her graduation photo in the afternoon, so I slept late this morning, and it was too late to come back from the event yesterday. After getting up at noon, I cooked myself noodles in the rental house to settle breakfast and lunch, and then changed into a set of clothes that looked relatively formal, and then went to Lan Yu's school. Her school is in Guangzhou, not very far from where I live, and it takes about 20 minutes to get there by subway.

Whenever a school is taking graduation photos, someone will seize the opportunity to buy flowers and various gifts that can be given after graduation at the school gate, and after standing at the school gate, I also bought a bouquet of flowers, and then walked in.

As soon as I entered the school, there were students in bachelor's uniforms, and I couldn't tell where Lan Yu was, but when I was about to call her, I suddenly felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and I looked back, and that person was Lan Yu who appeared behind me at some point.

"Why didn't you call me when you came, if I hadn't come over to see you, when would you have to find it?" she had a smile on her face, obviously happy to see me come over for her graduation photo.

"I wasn't just about to call you, and you suddenly appeared. I smiled and handed her the flower I was holding, "Oh, for you, happy graduation!"

"Thank you!" she smiled and took the flowers, and then took me to the "base" where their class took pictures, and Lan Yu's classmates immediately looked over, probably guessing what the relationship between me and her was, but Lan Yu didn't think it was anything, and still pulled me over to take pictures with her.

I spent the whole afternoon at her school, looking at those young and immature faces, I couldn't help but think of my college life, but I have already entered the society, and my youth has long gone.

......

This weekend is a holiday on Monday's winter solstice, and there are three days in total. Originally, according to the past practice, it is impossible to have a holiday on a holiday like the winter solstice, but I heard that the company's senior management saw that all of us had been in a high-intensity working state for several months, so they gave us a day off.

Monday's winter solstice is coming soon, I still remember Fang Kai's fiancée Li Wan'er said when she met me before, originally before Fang Kai went in, she came to Guangzhou on the day of the winter solstice to tell him that she was pregnant, I knew that she would definitely go back to visit Fang Kai today, so I also contacted her in advance and went with her.

In the detention center, Li Wan'er sat in front of the glass window and waited for Fang Kai to come out, knowing that as soon as he appeared, she had already shed tears before she could say anything, and stretched out a hand to stick to the glass window, Fang Kai's expression was also very uncomfortable, so she also stretched out her hand and put it on the glass window, and the two made a ten-finger clasped gesture through the glass, eager to cross the barrier and hug each other.

"Kai, you know what? You're going to be a dad. Li Wan'er looked at her stomach and slowly stood up to show Fang Kai, "The next time I come to see you, you have to give him a name." ”

Fang Kai looked at Li Wan'er's stomach with wide eyes, his expression was filled with joy and excitement, but I couldn't hear what he said to Li Wan'er on the phone, judging from his lips, it seemed to be asking Li Wan'er when this happened.

The time they chatted was not very long, after all, the time was limited, Li Wan'er looked at me standing behind her, and motioned for me to go over and answer the phone and chat with Fang Kai.

I walked over to pick up the phone, and was silent for a few moments before saying, "Boss, how are you doing?" I said according to the most common opening sentence, and a thousand words in my heart finally turned into a bland greeting.

"Good, good. Then he shook his head and sighed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You and Wan'er are the first people who have come to visit me since I went in. Sometimes when I look back and think about that time when I was competing with you for clients, I think it's funny and ...... It's sad. ”

"Brother Kai, don't say that, I never cared about this, it's all in the past. ”

Fang Kai slowly lowered his head, not letting me and Li Wan'er see his expression, and nodded vigorously, "Thank you...... Thank you, Cheng Ting, I really appreciate you...... The biggest mistake Kai made in his life was to believe in Li Zijie, a scumbag! I hate! I hate myself!"

Seeing him like this, I felt very uncomfortable, and my nose was sour, "It's okay, Brother Kai, you are still young, there will still be a lot of opportunities waiting for you after you go out, those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger, for your family, for Li Wan'er, for your children, you have to persevere." ”

"Yes, I must hold on!"

......

As soon as I walked out of the detention center, I immediately lit a cigarette, and the nicotine I inhaled at this time was not an antidote, but an antidote to save my emotions, remembering what I said to Fang Kai in it just now, "Those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger", in fact, I don't remember where I saw this, but it was sure to be very consistent with what I was experiencing at this moment, so I felt it. However, these words are also for my current self.

In the evening, I didn't go back to the rental house after leaving the detention center, but went to have dinner with Qi Min, and the location was still the same as the previous Lanxuan Four Seasons.

When he arrived at his destination, he found that Qi Min had already prepared a table of delicacies and opened two bottles of valuable red wine. Looking at this, it was obvious that he wanted to get me drunk in the name of the "celebration banquet", but now I was still immersed in the matter of visiting Fang Kai in the detention center in the afternoon, and my mood was not so high.

"Ouch, big brother, what's wrong with you, why do you look like someone else owes you millions, what an expression. Qi Min said with a sigh of relief, and at the same time poured me a little red wine.

"It's nothing, I just feel too tired and hungry, and seeing this good table of food you prepared for me, I'm even more hungry now. I pulled out a chair and sat down, handed him a cigarette, and lit one myself.

"Look at your virtue, eat and eat, tonight is a celebration banquet specially prepared for you, hey, I have to say, this annual meeting planned by your kid is quite wonderful! Even my dad praised you later! So, we don't get drunk at night, you can rest assured, there is a place for you to sleep, just waiting for you to lie down." Qi Min's eyebrows fluttered and he said to me, full of confidence and a hint of arrogance.

"Hey, it's not certain who lies down!" I took a knife to cut a steak, forked it up with a fork and stuffed it into my mouth, and looked at Qi Min with disdain.

At first, we were just drinking and chatting, and we were talking about off-topic, until the wine came up later, and then we started to talk about business. After a while, Qi Min handed me a cigar, and I had to come to him to smoke such a good cigarette.

"Hey, buddy, I heard that your Star International is getting more and more chaotic now, why don't you jump out and do new projects with me, anyway, I'm not short of money." ”

"Can you stop acting like an upstart. ”

"No, I'm serious, I especially want to ask my dad's halo and rely on my own strength to prove it to him, you don't know when I first took office, how those people under the group gossiped about me, saying that I was a son, a rich second generation, and I don't know anything, I just know that I rely on my father's relationship to get to the top,, who can stand it!" he took a hard puff of his cigarette, as if he was smoking dissatisfaction.

I comforted him, signaling him not to care about what others said, after a while, he got serious, and said: "Cheng Ting, the 5G era is coming soon, I have recently studied all the latest policies and industry trends, let me tell you, now speculation is outdated, the future will definitely be the era of 5G, social e-commerce, live broadcast, Short videos and so on will be the tuyere industry, you and I will do a company together, let's do this, you are responsible for planning, operation and marketing, I am responsible for investing money, isn't this fragrant?" Qi Min crackled and said a lot to me, judging from his expression, he knew that he must have been preparing for a long time, but it was a "east wind", and I am undoubtedly the east wind he lacks now.

In fact, he is right, these industries will indeed be the tuyere in the future, as the saying goes, "standing on the tuyere, pigs will fly", at least when you are the "first person to eat crabs", the money will definitely be earned. My brain was thinking about it quickly, and at the same time, I thought about the state I was in, and it was time to think about it.

I pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it, and I'll give you a definite answer." I picked up the wine glass and drank a small sip of red wine, and looked at the night view of Guangzhou on the other side.

"Don't think about it, do you want to work for someone else for the rest of your life? unless you want to be a working emperor! But this is unrealistic, I tell you, opportunities are fleeting, you have to take advantage of it, the future is here, we have to catch up with the dividends that will make a big deal when they appear." Qi Min knocked on the table and said, the expression on his face did not have the slightest hint of joke, even though we had all drunk a lot of wine, and it was now the third bottle of red wine.

I took a breath and said in a tone as if I had made a decision: "Let's talk about it after this year, I mean the 31st this year, and I will give you an answer before January 5th next year, and this time I am serious." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, hey, let me tell you, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, I just want to show my father positively, Lao Tzu is not a loser, sooner or later I can surpass him! ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want? Look at you, the nouveau riche, can you be as low-key as me?"

"Now SHE will be different, if you have money, you can really do anything, don't you all say, 'There is a successful man behind a successful man?' You just do what I am my military advisor!"

"The original saying is that 'behind every successful man there is a woman', don't mess around!"

"Whatever! That's it anyway, come on, drink!"

I took a sip of wine and looked at the night view elsewhere, the wind on the top floor was very strong, but my thoughts at this time were very clear, what Qi Min said this time made me really have a feeling of heartbeat, because I am too eager to succeed now......
