During this period in Shanghai, Zhou Fei had the most contact with Li Lan. When he was in school, because of Wu Zixi, Zhou Fei never had the opportunity to take a good look at Li Lan, nor did he have the opportunity to talk to Li Lan well, but during this time in Shanghai, Li Lan took good care of him, which is one of the reasons why he can persist in Shanghai, an international metropolis. In Shanghai, Zhou Fei encountered many difficulties, including the economic aspect before finding a job, he had no money on him for a while, and he was embarrassed to ask his family for it, he had graduated, and if he wanted his family's money, he would be too much of a failure. At that time, Li Lan was helping him, and Li Lan divided her salary into two halves, half for herself and half for Zhou Fei. Li Lan doesn't work for a long time, her salary is not high, and in a metropolis like Shanghai, if she gives half of the money to Zhou Fei, she will save herself. Li Lan knew that Zhou Fei was not a person who would admit defeat casually, the difficulties he encountered were only temporary, and in the future, Zhou Fei would definitely be able to make great achievements.

Zhou Fei sat in the taxi, looking at the people walking on the road, he knew that they were all the same as himself, they all came to this city for their dreams, in this city they suffered a lot and suffered humiliation, but they all persevered, because they all believed that one day, their dreams would become reality. For Zhou Fei, he is lucky, this city gave him a job, at least he no longer worries about being abandoned by this city, he has to thank Mr. Guan, it is Mr. Guan who gave him this opportunity, he wants to thank Li Lan, without Li Lan's support, he may have left Shanghai a long time ago, and he would not have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Guan, nor would he have the opportunity to be appreciated by Mr. Guan. Today, he got his first reward in Shanghai, he should invite Li Lan to dinner, and by the way, pay back the money he owes Li Lan, he knows that Li Lan is not easy.

When Li Lan was waiting for Zhou Fei, she saw a person, it was Wu Zixi, Wu Zixi was in Shanghai, he knew it, but she never expected to see her here. Wu Zixi didn't come alone, there was another man who came with her, that is, Ning Chenguang, and they also made an appointment in this Western restaurant, which was the same as Zhou Fei and Li Lan.

Ning Chenguang and Wu Zixi came by car, and as soon as they got out of the car, Li Lan felt that this woman was a little familiar, and when they got closer, they found that it was really Wu Zixi. Li Lan hadn't seen Wu Zixi for a long time, and she really wanted to talk to Wu Zixi, but it was a little embarrassing to meet like this today, if Zhou Fei came after a while, this meeting would not be able to be cleaned up. After thinking about it, Li Lan still couldn't greet Wu Zixi, and when Wu Zixi was about to approach her, she deliberately turned around to prevent Wu Zixi from recognizing her, and they were not suitable to talk in this meeting today.

Wu Zixi didn't see Li Lan, she grabbed Ning Chenguang's arm as soon as she got out of the car, and the two of them walked towards the restaurant talking and laughing. Wu Zixi has changed a lot, and now I can't see that she is just a person who has just graduated from school, she looks like a noblewoman, compared with Wu Zixi, Li Lan feels that she is just a bun.

"Why are you stunned, why are you outside?" Zhou Fei got out of the car and saw Li Lan standing at the door, although Li Lan was wearing a noble dress today, he still recognized her early in the morning. He thought that Li Lan had also seen him, but he didn't expect that he was about to walk to Li Lan's side, but Li Lan didn't notice him.

"I'm waiting for you, I'm afraid you won't find it. Li Lan was waiting for Zhou Fei, but now she didn't want to go in, Wu Zixi and Ning Chenguang were inside, they would definitely run into each other when they went in, it would be too embarrassing at that time. Besides, Zhou Fei has always wanted to see Wu Zixi, but due to various reasons, he didn't see Wu Zixi, if he saw Wu Zixi with other men today, it would be too unfair and cruel for Zhou Fei.

"Let's go in!" Zhou Fei pulled Li Lan, Li Lan didn't seem to be in a state today, as if he had something on his mind.

"What's wrong with you, what's the matter?" Zhou Fei discovered Li Lan's abnormality. On weekdays, Li Lan always talks endlessly when she sees him, but this time she didn't say a word when she saw him, and her eyes seemed to be avoiding him.

"No! It's just that suddenly I don't want to eat in this restaurant, let's change it!" Li Lan couldn't find a better reason, she didn't want to tell Zhou Fei that the reason she didn't want to go in was because Wu Zixi was inside, and she was with a strange man.

"Since you're here, there's no need to change it! You also said that the Western food here is very good, why do you have to change it again, how troublesome!" Zhou Fei didn't know that Wu Zixi was inside, and he didn't understand why Li Lan suddenly changed places, it was the same for him wherever he ate.

"There is a better home in front, the dishes are well made and the price is fair. Li Lan could only make it up, she really didn't want Zhou Fei to see that scene, she knew that Zhou Fei would be very sad when she saw it, she didn't want Zhou Fei to be sad.

Today is to invite Li Lan to dinner, Li Lan is the protagonist, Zhou Fei agreed to Li Lan's request, they walked along the road all the way forward, and after a while, another Western restaurant appeared in front of them.

"What's wrong with you? After Zhou Fei and Li Lan sat down, Li Lan still couldn't let go of Wu Zixi in her heart, she didn't know whether to tell Zhou Fei about it, she said that Zhou Fei was afraid that she would collapse, and if she didn't say it, she felt unfair to Zhou Fei, Zhou Fei had been thinking about her, but Wu Zixi had already gotten along with others, which was too unfair to Zhou Fei.

"It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable, women always have a few days. Li Lan lied and said that it was caused by physical discomfort.

"Can I ask you a few questions?" Li Lan asked Zhou Fei while eating, she looked at Zhou Fei's eyes, looking serious, which made Zhou Fei feel pressured, it seemed that Li Lan's question was very serious, and he had to answer it seriously.

"You ask! I know everything, I can't say anything. Zhou Fei looked at Li Lan's serious appearance, he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, so he had to hold back a smile and answer her very "seriously".

"Do you still have Wu Zixi in your heart?" Li Lan went straight to the point.

"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Zhou Fei was a little surprised, why did Li Lan suddenly care about him and Wu Zixi.

"I know you came to Shanghai to find Wu Zixi, but Wu Zixi is still not the same Wu Zixi as before, can you be sure? If she doesn't have a place for you at all in her heart now, what's the point of your persistence?" Li Lan wanted to know if the seat in Zhou Fei's heart was still reserved for Wu Zixi, she wanted to go to tomorrow hand in hand with Zhou Fei, but she couldn't bear that he was still thinking about someone else, but he held her hand.

"Did you hear something related to Wu Zixi?" Zhou Fei felt that Li Lan had something to say, and she didn't ask casually tonight, but had already thought about it.

"When I didn't ask!" Li Lan wanted to get a clear answer, but Zhou Fei didn't answer her directly, which showed that Zhou Fei still had Wu Zixi in his heart, as long as he had Wu Zixi in his heart, she couldn't break in.

Wu Zixi is Li Lan's friend, but now Li Lan hates Wu Zixi very much, if it weren't for Wu Zixi, maybe she would have been with Zhou Fei a long time ago. If Wu Zixi was still with Zhou Fei now, she would bless them, but now she abandoned Zhou Fei and was with other men, but even so, Zhou Fei still thought about her in his heart, Zhou Fei still belonged to Wu Zixi, and Li Lan was friends with her at most. If this was the case, she shouldn't have stopped Zhou Fei just now, let Zhou Fei see with his own eyes how Wu Zixi and Ning Chenguang showed affection, and also let him die and Wu Zixi's fantasy of revival.

"You're right, I chose to come to Shanghai to be with Wu Zixi, but after I arrived in Shanghai, I met some people and something happened that made me reconsider my decision. In the past few months in Shanghai, I have understood that Wu Zixi should not be the only one who is the most important in my life, and I should also cherish those people around me who are good to me, so that I can have today's happiness. Gradually, I learned that in addition to love, there is also a career, as well as friendship and family affection, and I was too focused on Wu Zixi before, but I couldn't see many beautiful things and some people worth cherishing, I promise I won't in the future. Zhou Fei knew that Li Lan was not just to have a meal with him today, he found that Li Lan had dressed up carefully today, and the clothes were also new, Li Lan was really beautiful today, if she went to great lengths just to have this meal with him, then there was no need to go through such a big effort, she must have something more important than eating to talk to him.

"Do you still believe in love?" Li Lan listened to Zhou Fei's words, she knew that Wu Zixi was dispensable to Zhou Fei now, his life was not all Wu Zixi, and he stayed in Shanghai because of Wu Zixi.

"Seriously, when I first came to Shanghai, I really wanted to go to her, but in the end reason still prevailed over impulse, I knew that I went to her with nothing, she would not look back, and at that time I told myself that I had to make a career, so that I could stand in front of her with confidence. The most fundamental reason why she left me was because I was just a poor boy and couldn't give her anything, and if I was rich and handsome, the ending might be different. Do you believe in love? I tell you, I still believe in love, and love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Wu Zixi and I are like this, it has nothing to do with love, maybe it's just that we are too young and don't know how to love each other, so we have today's situation. Zhou Fei doesn't know what kind of love is real love, but he doesn't regret having a love with Wu Zixi, and he won't refuse future love.

"Let's eat! This restaurant is really good. Li Lan's appetite came, and now she can rest assured, she and Zhou Fei are still possible, and she knows that Zhou Fei can stay in Shanghai for her reasons.

"Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Zhou Fei was very curious why Li Lan was so interested in his and Wu Zixi's affairs, could it be that she was interesting to herself, and women would only care about your affairs when they had you in their hearts.

"Nothing, just asking. Li Lan pretended that she didn't ask these things on purpose.

Zhou Fei talked a lot with Li Lan today, and also understood Li Lan's heart, in fact, in terms of appearance alone, Li Lan is not inferior to Wu Zixi at all, and today's Li Lan is exceptionally beautiful, I am used to seeing Li Lan wearing casual clothes, but I didn't expect Li Lan to be very charming tonight. The two of them walked on the street, and Li Lan's return rate was very high, which made him feel a lot more superior, and he enjoyed that kind of envy and jealousy in his eyes. Women are the destination of men, but also the face of men, with what kind of woman, highlighting a man's standard, behind a successful man, there must be an extraordinary woman as his backing, to give him career support, life satisfaction.

Wu Zixi is like a strong woman in the traditional sense, she regards her career as more important than anything else, because she has always believed that with a career, she has everything, she understands that in this era, no one can be relied on, she can only rely on herself, so in her work, she works very hard and does not dare to slack off. Compared with Wu Zixi, Li Lan's dedication is not so strong, but she has higher requirements for the family and the quality of life, she feels that women should focus on the family, run the family well, and ensure that the life of a good family is the greatest value realization.

"You are beautiful today, like a bride. Zhou Fei said to Li Lan before leaving, as soon as he came today, he found that Li Lan was different from the past, he knew what Li Lan wanted to express, but now he couldn't give Li Lan any answer, he wanted to start with Li Lan after he had finished with Wu Zixi, otherwise it would be unfair to Li Lan.
