In the high-end western restaurant in the center of Z City, it is always an elegant and soothing scene.

This restaurant was booked by Zhong Ziyi in advance, and both the location and decoration were completely selected according to Li Xuanci's aesthetics, even at this time, Zhong Ziyi still habitually took into account Miss Li's preferences, and it became natural to consider her feelings in everything.

The atmosphere of a high-end restaurant is always proportional to the high price, probably because of the separate service charge, and the surrounding environment and the appearance of the dishes become part of the measurement of the value of this dinner, which also seems to be a bit exquisite and elegant, quite high-grade. The European-style palace style decoration is very in line with the aesthetics of girls, and the ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers decorated with gilt tassels.

The soothing and moving music plays on a loop in the huge dining room, and the gorgeous European-style dining table is placed with carved European-style white porcelain vases, and the vase is inserted with soft and blooming pink roses, and the fragrance of flowers wafts on the dining table, which is indescribably ambiguous with the quiet environment in the restaurant, which is very suitable for couples to fall in love.

It's just that no matter how good the atmosphere is, it hasn't eased the awkwardness of the conversation at the moment.

Zhong Ziyi sat at one end of the dining table, glanced at the girl opposite inadvertently, and pondered his tone for a long time, but he didn't speak.

And Li Xuanci sat opposite, obviously not in a hurry to speak, she unhurriedly cut the steak on the plate with a Western knife, and successfully hid the helplessness revealed on the phone, and now she only shows calmness and decency, like having a calm dinner.

This kind of Li Xuanci is too strange.

Zhong Ziyi thought about it for a long time before he came to such a conclusion, but he hadn't seen each other for just half a year, and for the friendship that he grew up with since childhood, this was nothing more than an insignificant short period of time, but Zhong Ziyi and Li Xuanci quickly became strangers, as if they had never been familiar with each other.

Maybe it's because of too many things in the process, or maybe it's stimulated by multiple factors, Zhong Ziyi's mood finally gradually changed. Seeing Li Xuanci this time, he did not unconsciously show his joy from the inside out as he usually did, nor did he pretend to laugh and joke lightly, and cautiously tried something, and the rest was just plain.

Many complex emotions choked on Zhong Ziyi's heart, and soon turned into indescribable or even inconsequential small fluctuations, he seemed to suddenly think about something, and some things were no longer so important, and they seemed too rusty.

And Li Xuanci has changed too much, she is still so delicate, with an intoxicating style under her eyes and eyebrows, but the exquisite makeup hides the true emotions in her heart, and the smile with the perfect curvature of the corners of her lips is more than moving, but more is a purposeful consideration, and all kinds of small expressions reveal defensive insincerity.

These changes have embodied a mask that is delicate enough to bury her once casual and unbridled in time, making her youthful appearance unrecognizable. So much so that Zhong Ziyizai thought carefully for a long time, only to find that he couldn't remember what Li Xuanci he once loved was like, and now he can't let go of something.

It seems that some things have deteriorated in the time that they have been flowing forward endlessly, and by the time the person concerned realizes that something is wrong, they have deviated too much from the right track, and they have become impossible to trace.

For example, Li Xuanci never imagined that Zhong Ziyi would one day treat her in an extremely objective position, such a strangeness was something she never expected.

When did Miss Li, who had taken the initiative, think about it, she has always responded to her needs, and sometimes even Brother Ziyi, who can guess what she wants and do it obediently without the person in person, will not answer her words at all, and he doesn't bother to care about her ambiguous day between applause

Such a contrast is so great that Li Xuanci's words that he had already thought about on the way to the appointment became abrupt, and he had to temporarily come up with another set of rhetoric to deal with Zhong Ziyi.

In the early years, Zhong Ziyi never imagined that one day Li Xuanci would become the kind of person he hated.

Today, Miss Li is obviously dressed up seriously, she is wearing the latest seasonal fashion, some time ago when Zhong Ziyi talked about cooperation with one of her little stars, the little star also complained that this brand of clothes is unreasonable, no matter how good they look, they can't afford it. But obviously, Li Xuanci never cares about these, clothes, bags, jewelry, and even luxury cars and villas, but it is just an interesting investment point in her eyes.

Just like for feelings, she only enjoys competition and competition, and will never be greedy for what she can't get.

I don't know how to cherish it.

The cold brown hair hung softly next to Li Xuanci's cheeks, which made her delicate and moving cheeks particularly beautiful, and even her eyebrows and eyes were a little amorous. Bai Fumei's innate arrogance is engraved in her bones, from her hair to her fingernails, revealing decentness, and there are tassels with golden stars on her earlobes, which shine under the refraction of the ambiguous light of the crystal lamp, exuding the loftiness stacked by identity and status.

Li Xuanci is rightfully dazzling, as if reminding Zhong Ziyi that she should be a princess. But the light sparkled straight under Zhong Ziyi's eyes, he didn't feel how beautiful, he only felt that his eyes were shaking painfully, Li Xuanci's false calculations full of body made him extremely uncomfortable, and the rest was only strange.

Today's meeting is too raw, Li Xuanci treats Zhong Ziyi, not like he is talking to his little brother about the unhappiness in life, and it is not just about the long-lost chat between the old people, but with a clear purpose, so he has to do something. The personal emotions expressed in her words are put very far behind, and only layers of disguise are displayed, and the obvious plot can hardly be concealed, which makes it extremely insincere.

So much so that when facing her, the words that Zhong Ziyi could think of were indifferent.

Such thoughts continued to spread, and there was only a long silence between the two, and the atmosphere was surprisingly awkward.

In the end, it was Zhong Ziyi who came back to his senses first in the melodious piano music, he pressed the complex emotions in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked directly at the girl opposite and opened his mouth lightly.

"Xuanci, you said that something happened to the Li Group, what is the situation?"

"It's Uncle Yang's" Li Xuanci's eyebrows moved slightly, seeing that Zhong Ziyi took the initiative to speak, no matter whether she organized a new rhetoric or not, she couldn't be silent anymore, so she had to reply in a thoughtful tone, "Well, or some problems within the group have been intensified, it's more accurate." ”

"Yang Yutong"

Zhong Ziyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Li Xuanci to say this name, he thought about it for a while, and then repeated in a low voice, "Isn't your Uncle Yang the pillar of Canran, what's the matter, he has a conflict with you, or did you do something wrong, and was criticized by his old man."

Li Xuanci didn't respond to anything, just continued to bury his head in cutting the steak, the knife and fork touched the edge of the plate, making a crisp echoing sound, such a subtle sound seemed very insignificant in the reverberating music in the restaurant, but for Li Xuanci, who was accustomed to being unscrupulous and domineering, seeing Zhong Ziyi, he was in the mountains and the south and north of the world, bending those beautiful eyes and shouting Brother Ziyi, whether it was verbal or physical contact, it was indispensable to take a few points, such silence seemed too strange because things backfired.

Zhong Ziyi noticed that Li Xuanci's mood was wrong, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He didn't ask anything directly, but silently integrated the information about Yang Yutong and began to delve into the deep meaning that Li Xuanci's words did not completely and clearly express.

For the name Yang Yutong, Zhong Ziyi is not unfamiliar.

He knew that Yang Yu was also the veteran of Canran Group, and he was also a good brother who fought with Li Hongfeng back then, nominally Li Hongfeng's deputy, but in fact he was one of the shareholders holding the company's shares and held absolute real power.

In the early years, when Li Hongfeng did not have an accident, whenever Canran Group held a drinking party or celebration, it would invite Zhong Yan of the world friendship to attend, Zhong Ziyi followed his father's side, and inevitably met with Yang Yu a few times.

Zhong Ziyi shouted Uncle Yang one by one, and toasted after a few rounds of wine, the relationship was not very affectionate, but he heard a lot of gossip and sycophants in the business field. Especially about the glorious deeds of how the second-in-command of Canran Group made a fortune, those legendary stories do not know whether they are true or false, but each of them seems to be thrilling and ups and downs, which makes Zhong Ziyi unforgettable.

At that time, Zhong Ziyi had not yet come out of the door, and he rarely had contact with the affairs of the business field, at best, he was just a pampered official young master, and he did not have a deep understanding of the deception in the shopping mall. But any story that has a little bit of contact with the gray area is enough for him to be dumbfounded for a long time, not to mention those bloody schemes and methods when Yang Yu fought the world for Canran. Zhong Ziyi was deeply impressed by Yang Yutong's ruthlessness and methods, and it took him a long time to equate the middle-aged man who clinked glasses with him with the rumored ruthless deputy who eats people and does not spit out bones.

After the reception, Zhong Ziyi deliberately exchanged views with his own old man, Zhong Yan has been in a high position for many years, and all kinds of people have seen it, so he naturally sees it much more deeply than his own stinky boy.

He didn't say anything deeply, just laughed meaninglessly, and said lightly, "Yang Yu is very complicated with this person, if you can't have a deep friendship, you won't have a deep friendship, just advance and retreat, and there is no harm in keeping some distance." For this kind of person, it is a good thing not to have too deep communication, and after receiving his favor, sooner or later there will be a time to return. ”

Zhong Ziyi heard these words, but he only thought that this was his father's worry, and he didn't take it to heart.

He didn't know at that time that everything would come to pass one day.
