46. Zhang Ling on the fork in the road
The club arranged a fabulous room for Zorin. Looking from the window, the whole Lujiazui looks like its own yard, and the line of lights along the river is like a fence in the yard. Double glazing blocks out the noise of the wind outside the high-rise building, but allows the bright lights to penetrate the room at night to worship the owner of the room. Cruise ships on the Huangpu River don't have to be the size of rubber ducks in the bathtub, the floodlit Bund looks like a Lego toy, and the neon-dyed night sky doesn't see many stars, but it's as well-proportioned as backlit paper in a studio......
On the windowsill was a bottle of Ballantine's whiskey and two simple whiskey glasses, a whole block of ice carved into the shape of the earth that melted into the amber liquid, and the night in the glasses was more intoxicating than the wine itself.
"Do you have this with you?" Standing behind Zhang Ling, wrapping his hands around Zhang Ling, sharing the scenery on the screen of the small digital camera with her, Zuo Lin asked softly.
"Yes," Zhang Ling was very satisfied with Zuo Lin's encircled temperature, pressed the shutter of the digital camera in his hand a few times, and threw it into the sofa next to him, "Actually, I still carry a lot of things with me, such as PDA and mobile phones, but I can't help but bring one more." It's nice to take a picture. ”
"Well," Zuo Lin replied mechanically, pausing, and saying flatteringly, "not as pretty as you." ”
Zhang Ling smiled. Laughing so much that his body trembled slightly. "Don't learn any playboy tricks, being a professional athlete is easy to learn badly. ”
Between Zhang Ling's curvy body and Zuo Lin's warm hand, there was only a layer of silk. The shimmering animal protein fibers have a mysterious ability to transmit the heat of the body to the other side without reservation. Zhang Ling's body was a little hot.
Ever since that day in Zuo Lin's room, when the trick of dividing herself into three identities was broken, Zhang Ling was still a little nervous and afraid, because she lost a game and a war. And when she fell asleep in her thoughts, and then woke up from a beautiful dream, and found herself dressed as if she had fallen asleep, and Zuo Lin slept on a chaise longue in the room wrapped in a blanket, she had already confirmed the relationship between the two of them more deeply. No matter what words are used to define the relationship between the two, she can't deny her good opinion of Zuo Lin. Maybe she didn't have confidence in what was going to happen in the future, but for now, she had a decision: if everything was going to happen, let it happen.
“…… Don't you like it?" Zuo Lin did cherish the tranquility when the two of them were alone, but one of the reasons for maintaining this silence was that he was not good at saying the right words at such a special and extremely emotional moment.
"Like. Zhang Ling and Zuo Lin swayed their bodies in an extremely slow rhythm. "Although it doesn't look like it comes out of your mouth at all. ”
"Uh...... I don't read much, and I can't learn the ones in TV and movies. Zuo Lin repented.
"TV movies sometimes can't be believed. Zhang Ling gently broke away from Zuo Lin's embrace, turned to face him elegantly, and said, "Usually, in TV and movies, you probably go directly into the situation, but now you have to let go, let me unload and take a bath first." ”
"Why?" Zuo Lin didn't want to let go of Zhang Ling for a moment.
"Trust me, the lipstick may smell good, but those styling lotions, eyeshadow and mascara, foundation and stuff like that on your hair...... I don't think you like the taste of these things. Zhang Ling looked at Zuo Lin softly, and seeing Zuo Lin's slightly disappointed expression, she smiled and said, "But I don't object to you coming ...... together."
…………
After the clouds and rain stopped, Zhang Ling lazily nestled in Zuo Lin's arms, as if he didn't even want to move a finger.
"Little brother, congratulations on growing up," Zhang Ling squinted, a little provocative.
"Teacher Zhang, each other. Zuo Lin shot back. For Zhang Ling to be competitive and seize a strong position now, Zuo Lin couldn't cry or laugh.
Teacher Zhang's title made Zhang Ling extremely embarrassed, she smiled, covered up the past, and laughed at herself: "Now like this, find a mint cigarette and put it in your mouth, and the image of your mistress will be complete." …… I never thought my life would be like this. ”
"What did you think, what kind of life do you want to live?" asked Zuo Lin with his head in his hands.
"An ordinary girl, what kind of life do you think you should live?" Zhang Ling's words, the atmosphere of emotion suddenly increased a lot, "Grow up safely, graduate from college, find a good job, consider your own conditions in the conditions of 'young, financially capable, handsome, considerate, faithful...... and so on, and choose a person who can meet the three, five, and seven items to become your husband, and from then on, rely on him, believe in him, live a humble and happy life that countless people have lived before, and there will be countless people in the future...... Probably an ordinary girl would be willing to live such a life. …… However, I understood early on that this was not what I wanted, that it was too vulnerable. I thought about it, I was going to arm myself with positions, with status, with all sorts of things. Beautiful and expensive clothes are my armor, delicate and intricate lace is my coat of arms, the pen is my sword, and the folder is my shield...... I want to stand proudly side by side with those I love and love me, not afraid of being hurt, because when it hurts, it must be mutual, not just me...... In fact, no matter what, this doesn't guarantee anything, maybe it's just the sense of security you need, just like those children in online games, constantly trying to kill monsters and brush up on equipment, constantly arming themselves, but never feel safe...... After all, the rules of this world are not set by us. ”
Zuo Lin had some understanding. A few years ago, he was just a teenager in a remote mountain village, the only difference was that he was still a druid. He didn't even think about what he wanted, whether it was his hometown or the mountains and forests, he was very satisfied. And now he and the original him are almost completely different people. So, he asked, "And now?"
"It's like we've embarked on a fork in the road," Zhang Ling said after thinking for a moment, "and the general direction hasn't changed much." Even now help you deal with securities, as well as brokers' business...... Well, and the production of your kind of ointment. If these things were done step by step, I would probably not be qualified to touch them at the age of 30, but now when I am 30 years old, even if you are stingy with me and the salary is not so high, it is estimated that at least I am a senior manager with an annual income of more than one million. But, you're the fork in the road now......"
“…… Am I offending you in any way?, or can't I be the one standing side by side with you?" Zuo Lin dissatisfied.
Seeing that Zuo Lin looked offended, Zhang Ling chuckled and did not answer.
The next day, Zuo Lin handed over all the matters related to Tianxin Lotus ointment to Zhang Ling. There is nothing to do, just some oral introductions, as for the formula of the ointment, it is not mysterious at all, except for Tianxin Lotus, which are all common medicinal materials. On the contrary, there are a lot of materials for the construction of the planting base. Any work that Yan Hokusai had done before had been sent to Zuo Lin here, but Zuo Lin had never seen it. made a few phone calls to Yan Beizhai and told him about the plan proposed by Zhang Ling and the results of the negotiations with Lin Dong and Guo Xiaoling, and Yan Beizhai also happily accepted the result. It is impossible for Yan Hokusai to be dissatisfied, this kind of thing that is equivalent to Zuo Lin himself putting himself on the fire to roast is simply wonderful. Yan Hokusai has always believed that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and Zuo Lin is hiding in the club, and everything else has to be moved, which really makes him a little helpless. Whatever Zuo Lin wants to do, take the initiative, no matter whether the final result is good or bad, Yan Hokusai will support it unconditionally.
With the assistance of Gu Mingyuan, Zhang Ling quickly handled the order with the military and national security on behalf of Zuo Lin. The contact with this kind of institution was also unprecedented for Gu Mingyuan, but it allowed Gu Mingyuan to further understand Zuo Lin's potential.
It has become Zuo Lin's habit to hand over such incomprehensible things to the right people. From beginning to end, he never worried that these business things could go wrong with the joint efforts of Shennong Group, Gu Mingyuan and Zhang Ling. For Zuo Lin, the biggest problem now is not these, but Lin Jinghua who came to the door.
Yu Pingzhang may be focused on research and development, but Lin Jinghua is not. Ever since he explained the complex scientific truths and mysterious movements of nature in such simple, clear and powerful language as he answered their questions a few months ago, he has been thinking about how best to express what they are doing. That's what Yu Pingzhang needs to consider. As long as it is a professional paper, it will actually only circulate in a small circle, and people outside the circle will not understand it at all. However, these naturally need to be understood, and they are not all precious medicinal materials. In fact, many of the plants, whether they were planted in the two greenhouses of Zuolin or later when the students were experimenting, are often seen by people living in the metropolis. If you like to play with flowers and plants, you may know more about these plants. However, this is not enough.
Therefore, Lin Jinghua organized a few students to use high-definition DV, ordinary digital cameras and ordinary cameras, and all kinds of simplest equipment to shoot a large number of materials on the theme of Zuo Lin's greenhouse and the experimental greenhouses that were built one after another. With the support of Yu Heizhang, they edited the material into a 40-minute documentary.
Lin Jinghua invited Zuo Lin to write a narration for the documentary and dubbing.
P.S.: I went out to do something today and threw out the two chapters together.
