Chapter 12: Love Too Late to Tell (11)
"What's going on?"
"It seems to have been in a car accident, at the viaduct, and it was very blocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Sitting in the back corner, I heard the chatter in the crowd. Xiao Lan, who was writing a program, stopped what he was doing and looked around at the road.
All the vehicles on the road ahead stopped, and a long queue was formed. Most of the pedestrians and drivers got out of the bus to check the situation, and the bus had stopped for a full fifteen minutes, as if it had broken down and was motionless. After this time, some passengers who went down to watch the excitement came back and probably knew what was going on.
"Who's in trouble?"
"It seems like a little girl, and there is a kind person who begged, and the two of them rolled up under the car together. ā
"Dead?"
"What do you say? The girl's mother was making trouble there, and the police blocked the road, and there were a lot of people, so you have to wait for the traffic police to come and clear the road. ā
Xiao Lan seems to have a time prediction, and if she waits any longer, it will take at least a long time to leave, and her time is running out, so the passenger plane will not deliberately delay the take-off for her. She simply asked the driver to get out of the car, walked back by herself, and found another way to take a taxi to the airport. Even when I got to the smooth section of the road and found a taxi, the taxi driver explained that the area had to cross the bridge to get to the airport. That said, from this area to the airport, the bridge is a must-go.
In desperation, Xiao Lan could only take one step at a time, and then take a ride after crossing the bridge on foot. But the bridge is 5 kilometers long, and there are many onlookers, it takes more than 20 minutes just to walk, and it takes more than ten minutes to take a car to the airport, and she is still late.
Sun Dongquan has many friends who send off the airport, most of them are very good friends, and everyone has sent blessings. By the time he found out that Xiao Lan hadn't arrived yet, it was already boarding time. Sun Dongquan also took into account the traffic jam and other accidents, and specially sent a message to Xiao Lan, saying that he was ready to board the plane and did not use it.
When Xiao Lan arrived at the airport in a hurry, Sun Dongquan's passenger plane had just taken off, and she didn't see Sun Dongquan. Xiao Lan was wearing heavy winter clothes, running wildly with a computer, her head was covered with sweat, and she couldn't breathe. She didn't see her face to face the last time we met, what else is there to say? Xiao Lan casually found a place to do it, held her forehead, and smiled helplessly.
Is her mission a failure?
Xiao Lan pointed out the system interface, the only option to submit the task, has not yet lit up, and her task has neither completed nor failed. I'm afraid the period of the mission has been extended. That is, she still has a chance. Besides, Zhong Nianhui, who went to the United States, contacted Sun Dongquan, and it was not too late to wait until the next meeting. Xiao Lan didn't want to complete the task so quickly, she had what she wanted to do, and the time could drag on a little bit.
What she didn't know was that the next meeting would be ten years late......
A lot has happened in 10 years. A month after Zhong Nian and Sun Dongquan's departure, Ye Yukai also transferred schools, and he agreed to Ye's father's proposal to go to Japan for treatment. Since then, Xiao Lan has never had any contact with him.
After Zhong Nian arrived in the United States, he lived well in a villa area, was taught by a special painting teacher, and was finally admitted to a famous art school in New York. After Zhao Qian took Zhong Nian to the United States, she kept her promise and immediately remitted money, which was an astonishing amount of money, enough for all the expenses of Xiao Lan's college education.
Sun Dongquan has not been to the United States, and Xiao Lan can occasionally see his recent situation on social networking sites. Sun Dongquan and his girlfriend took a group photo, and there were small conflicts, but the relationship between the two is still very good, and they have been dating for three years. However, they broke up peacefully, and a year later, Sun Dongquan's girlfriend changed to a Chinese. After finishing college, Sun Dongquan continued to study for a doctorate abroad and had his own laboratory.
Father Zhong has not contacted Xiao Lan since that phone call, and Xiao Lan did not change his phone number for him. If the other party doesn't come to her, she is happy to be idle. At the beginning of Father Zhong's appearance, Xiao Lan occasionally found someone lingering at the door of his house, and accidentally saw Father Zhong's back. After he was released from prison, he kept his promise and did not come to bother, and found a job to support himself. In the end, he found that Xiao Lan could indeed live independently, and he no longer appeared in her field of vision.
Xiao Lan's college entrance examination was successfully admitted to a famous university in the capital, although it is not the top, it is also a top ten university in the country. She showed her love for computer programs in high school, and directly applied for the relevant majors of this school, and graduated with the first grade in the school. She turned down a Fortune 500 company and instead entered a small company and held a high position. She took a stake in the money she earned at the university and became a member of the shareholders' meeting. This company is a company engaged in the e-commerce industry, Xiao Lan led the studio, and it took half a year to sort out the first model. is a shareholder and a senior cadre, and she has a lot of right to speak.
Finally, within 6 years, the company rose to prominence, with a large amount of domestic and foreign investment funds settled in, squeezed into the world's top 500 companies at an astonishing speed, and there is a lot of room for growth in the e-commerce field, and the company has also been successfully listed in the United States.
As a member of the witness company's listing in the United States, Xiao Lan went to the New York Stock Exchange to be listed. In the news in the United States, Xiao Lan's company has set a record for the longest time since the opening of a U.S. listed company because of its huge trading volume. As the backbone of the company, she refused to ring the bell and witnessed this exciting moment as a crowd.
When the bell rings, countless streamers are sprinkled from above, and under the dazzling lights, this streamer rain is exceptionally beautiful.
Xiao Lan is now 28 years old, and working in front of the computer all year round makes her look much older and more mature than people of the same age. She was wearing high heels, her tall figure was hidden in the crowd, she was wearing a black professional skirt, painted with heavy makeup and red lips, her short hair was flamboyant, her eyes were full of pride, and the wisdom contained in those eyes hid her life experience. No one can know what is going on in her heart, and her stunning smile is a flash in the pan, fleeting, lonely and beautiful.
In the noisy environment, she clapped alone with the ringing of the bell, and the loud applause resounded throughout the exchange. In such a lively environment, Xiao Lan quietly left alone.
At the moment when the bell rang, I was stunned.
She took a taxi to the New York Art School not far from here, which was the university where Zhong Nian studied, and even after graduation, Zhong Nian's hard work was still in it, where he stayed and became a professional teacher. Zhong Nian is engaged in the art career he loves, and his famous representative paintings can be sold for 50 million US dollars, which have been put into art textbooks, and many of his paintings are treasured by the American Museum of Contemporary Art.
After Xiao Lan arrived at the Academy of Fine Arts, Zhong Nian was already waiting there, Zhong Nian had lived in the United States for a long time, and he was exposed to the warm American culture, as soon as he saw Xiao Lan, he greeted her and hugged her tightly. His enthusiasm made Xiao Lan stunned, but he quickly responded to him and patted him on the back with a smile.
The hug ended quickly, and Zhong Nian said with a smile, "Sister, long time no see." ā
Xiao Lan looked at Zhong Nian, who was still a head lower than her before, but now, he is a head taller than her. The thin figure is gone, tall and handsome, neatly dressed, with short hair tied up in pigtails at the back, and wearing a modern adaptation of a Zhongshan suit, rich in artistic atmosphere.
"Oh my God, is that Mr. Jason?" the girl saw Zhong Nian and Xiao Lan at the door.
"Is that girl her girlfriend? The relationship is not simple, and it looks like a good match. ā
Zhong Nian knew that he would summon onlookers, so he went to pick up the car, took Xiao Lan to the place where he lived, and specially cooked to prepare dinner. When he was in college, Zhong Nian had already moved out of Zhao Qian's house and bought one near the school with his own money.
The two sisters and brothers, who haven't seen each other for a long time, have lost their original rustiness after a meal. Zhong Nian also knew that his sister came to see him because the company was listed, and in his heart, Xiao Lan has always been much better than him.
Although he is developing in the United States, he also returns to China for a week or so every year to reunite with Xiao Lan, and it is very difficult for Xiao Lan to come to him.
Chatting casually, Zhong Nian talked about Ye Yukai.
"Ye Yukai originally wanted to come, but because he was going to get married tomorrow, he couldn't get out. ā
"By the way, he also sent me an invitation to pass it on to you. It looks like it's tomorrow night. Zhong Nian rummaged through the two invitations he had gotten earlier, and handed one to Xiao Lan.
Ye Yukai...... It's been ten years. "Ten years is enough to forget an ordinary friend. If it weren't for Zhong Nianti, she would probably have forgotten about this task.
After the college entrance examination, her life will completely belong to her, not Zhong Ming, but Xiao Lan.
Immersed in the cause I loved, I gradually forgot that this was a mission world and forgot the original purpose. Sun Dongquan would pay attention to it at first, but then she gradually became busy, and she didn't even have time for social networking sites, and her work and life life upside down day and night occupied everything for her. When you remove her makeup, you can see her dark circles and dull yellow complexion that have accumulated over the years.
There is no time limit for the task, and she doesn't care about it, and she keeps going with the flow.
Thinking of the person "Sun Dongquan", she remembered that she was now living Zhong Ming's life and wanted to help her fulfill her wishes.
Only then did she remember that she was not Zhong Ming, but a person who completed the task for Zhong Ming.
The first task is too easy, and many interns are immersed in such a comfortable life, forgetting where they come from, what they are here for, and forgetting that they are just an outsider to help others fulfill their wishes.
Meng Po deviated from the task, stole the life of the task object, fell in love with the people in the mission world, and squandered the lives of others at will...... There are so many such examples, so many that the system will not count, and their completion will directly destroy the data.
The deeper Xiao Lan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She finally knew that she was engaged in Meng Po, the only danger of this profession, indulging in the world and unable to extricate herself.
After thinking deeply, Xiao Lan picked up the red wine, took a sip lightly, relieved the dryness of his throat, and seemed to have made a lot of determination to say: "I will go to ...... tomorrow night" to end all this as "Nan Ke's dream".
Now she is very satisfied, her company can go on well, and she is no longer needed. The career I love has come to an end in today's listing, and it is not beautiful to stay longer. Zhong Ming's life does not belong to her, and it has never been.
None of this belongs to her.
