Chapter 165: One Step Late

Before the auction began, Zhang Sisi stood alone in the cloister outside, looking out the window. The clouds were floating outside, and it felt as if they were right in front of you. As soon as you reach out your hand, you can touch it.

Here, Zhang Sisi was still admiring the sea of clouds, but someone came from the other end of the corridor.

The footsteps were steady, not the sound of high heels, but the sound of leather shoes, Zhang Sisi turned his head and looked, but it was Shao Mingyang.

In the past five years, Zhang Sisi has not seen Shao Mingyang. He has always been a superior person, and he is not something that she, a small clerk, can see if he wants to see him. But those news about him are endless, and it is difficult for her to hear them if she doesn't want to. is not only the great achievements he created, but also the scandals about him. He already has a fiancΓ©e, where would she not know, but so what, the second young man of the Shao family is still dashing, and his fiancΓ©e can't help him.

This time, Zhang Sisi knew that someone from the Shaw Brothers would come to bid for the land, but he didn't expect that it would be Shao Mingyang who would come in person.

Zhang Sisi and everyone's speculation is the same, which piece of land will make Mr. Shao come in person?

Zhang Sisi was still thinking about it, but Shao Mingyang spoke, "Zhang Xuemei, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It's not very long, because I can see you on the newspaper news every month, Senior Shao!" Not to be outdone, Zhang Sisi retorted.

"Hehe, that's an honor to let you see me." Shao Mingyang smiled, and he stood side by side with her.

When he laughed, Zhang Sisi was a little dizzy, but some people laughed like that, which was irresistible.

Therefore, Zhang Sisi didn't want to stay, because when she saw him, it would make her think of another person.

"Mr. Shao, I'll go in first." Zhang Sisi answered and was about to leave.

Shao Mingyang suddenly asked, "I think it's a pity that you stay in that small company." Why don't you come to Shaw? ”

Zhang Sisi shook his hand, "Thank you, no need." ”

"Zhang Xuemei." Shao Mingyang shouted again. Zhang Sisi froze his pace, only to hear him say softly, "For so many years, she hasn't contacted you?" ”

Zhang Sisi was stunned, but he didn't expect him to suddenly ask like this. It's just that she froze, and then smiled for a while, "She will definitely have a good life, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't contact me." ”

"You're a good friend of hers, and she's so kind to you." He seemed joking, and the smile was faint.

Zhang Sisi was a little angry, and replied to him, "Where can I compare to you." ”

Zhang Sisi was about to leave with great strides, but she ran into her boss who came out to find her. The boss saw that there was no one in the corridor, only them. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he nodded at Shao Mingyang from afar, and then was pulled away by Zhang Sisi. Obviously, the relationship between these two men is not ordinary.

On this day, under Shao Mingyang's bidding, the Shaw Brothers auctioned a piece of land in the north of the city, and the land in the north of the city was indeed a fat sheep that everyone wanted to photograph, but it was well deserved to fall into the pocket of the powerful Shaw Brothers.

Leaving the World Trade Building, he returned to the Shaw Group. Shao Jiaying has been waiting in the office for a long time.

Shao Jiaying was discussing the situation of being in charge of a project at hand, but she also knew that he had just gone to the International Trade Center to bid, but she was even more confused, "Mr. Shao." In the north of the city, are you sure you want to build an amusement park? ”

Shao Mingyang's eyes were unexcited, "The plan has been passed, of course it has been implemented." ”

But the actual profit that can be generated is simply unknown! Shao Mingyang, who has always been wise, how could he not know?

Shao Jiaying frowned slightly. But I thought of a person.

She didn't say anything more, just reported, "Mr. Luo has to stay for a few days because of some conditions on the Liancheng Group's side." ”

*************************

Shao Luochuan stayed in Beicheng for two days.

In the past two days, accompanied by the supervisor under Mr. Qian, he visited the places of interest around Beicheng. Compared with the opulence and prosperity of S City, Beicheng is really a city rich in culture. It's just that the only thing that is not very good is that the weather is much colder than S City.

On this day, when he returned from a trip to a historic site and was still sitting in the car, the supervisor picked up the other party, and he responded intermittently, and Shao Luochuan didn't care. It's just that from the sporadic conversations, some clues can be vaguely heard, such as that Director Lan has returned.

After hanging up the phone, the supervisor turned his head with a smile and immediately said, "Mr. Luo, Director Lan has returned, and Mr. Qian said that we will have dinner together in the evening to pick up the wind for you." ”

Shao Luochuan was interested, and said with a faint smile, "You're polite, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The car continued to drive ahead, turning back towards the city.

The trees along the way are verdant, and the city rises horizontally and towers into the sky, which is a touch of verdant green.

The hotel where the banquet was held at night was naturally a luxury hotel, very high-grade, and very high-end, entering from the lobby, and then entering the private room under the hospitality of the lobby manager.

The private room is gorgeous and spacious, the lighting is also bright, and the tableware and utensils are with some antique patterns, which is even more exquisite. The large peony carpet laid on the ground makes the whole private room look extremely luxurious.

Here, Mr. Qian arrived early, obviously waiting for the driver, and when he saw Shao Luochuan, he immediately got up to greet him, "Mr. Luo, you are here, please take a seat!" ”

Shao Luochuan shook hands with him, and he sat down, "I'm tired of money." ”

"Where, Luo can always stay in Beicheng, that's a face-apprehrel. I don't know if you've had fun in the past two days? Mr. Qian immediately greeted him.

Shao Luochuan said with a smile, "The scenery of Beicheng is very good, and there are not so many historic sites in S City." ”

"Where, the prosperity of S City, that can't be compared to Beicheng. However, there is still a little time in the past two days, if you are free, you can stay for a few more days, and take you to Gu Yao farther away to have a look, it is still good there......" Mr. Qian chattered beside him, Shao Luochuan nodded, and echoed a few words from time to time.

On the top Longjing here, the first cup was presented to Shao Luochuan, and the fragrance of tea immediately dispersed.

Mr. Qian looked at the time, he seemed to be looking at something, and then an assistant came in from outside, came to Mr. Qian's side, bowed his head and said something in his ear. Mr. Qian nodded, the assistant withdrew again, Mr. Qian turned his head and said apologetically, "Mr. Luo." I'm really sorry for you, Director Lan's plane should have arrived a long time ago. But I didn't expect that after the plane landed, it hadn't arrived at the boarding gate due to ground reasons, and now this person is here. Still on the plane, not down yet. But it should be soon, I'm really sorry for you, and I'm waiting here again. ”

Shao Luochuan said, "It's okay. This kind of thing is not something that people can budget, and it is understandable that the plane was delayed for various reasons. ”

"Yes yes yes, thank you Lo overall. Then we don't have to wait for Director Lan to come over, let's start first, and wait while eating. Mr. Qian immediately responded, and he hurriedly ordered the manager to serve the food.

The dishes are full of dishes, and they are naturally all delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the taste of these dishes is almost the same. Banquet at the hotel. And how much difference can there be. Here drinking and talking, the time is passed unconsciously. The atmosphere is very harmonious, chatting endlessly, and time passes unconsciously.

More than halfway through the banquet, when there was a staggered meeting, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Then the waiter outside pushed the door open.

Only for a moment, I saw the waiter who was sideways and out of the way, but in the next second, I saw another slender figure walking in.

Shao Luochuan didn't care about it originally. He was chatting with Mr. Qian, but when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, everyone raised their heads, and he slowly raised his eyes.

But. It's just a moment, the moment he saw the person coming, Shao Luochuan froze!

He even thought he was hallucinating!

In his ears, he heard the greetings of others and introduced people to him, "Mr. Luo." Let me introduce you to you, this is our Liancheng Lan director. ”

"Director Lan, this is Mr. Luo of the Shaw Group in S City." The man said again.

The woman in front of her slowly walked into the private room.

Her long hair was languidly pulled up, and the long flight of the flight made her not too delicate, but she showed a hint of freedom and casualness, which made people feel so comfortable and pleasant. She smiled inappropriately, her clear and clean delicate face was more charming than many years ago, but it was still so quiet and beautiful, but in her smiling eyes, there was more calmness and indifference that she had never had before. That is the charm that has been shown after years of precipitation, but her appearance has not changed much from the past.

Director Blue.

Shao Luochuan was blank for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses.

How could he have imagined that one day, they would be able to see each other.

In the next second, her hand was already stretched out towards him, and she was heard smiling and shouting, "Mr. Luo, hello." ”

See, the world is so big, but it's so small.

Shao Luochuan came back to his senses, and he also stretched out his hand and gently held her.

"Hello, Director Lan."

In fact, at this time, it's just this "hello", is it too little. There are countless words to say in my heart, but at this moment, I can't say a word. How could he have imagined that after many years of absence, they would meet so unexpectedly.

Isn't the woman in front of her the Blue Star Night who suddenly disappeared that year?

She appeared in front of him like this, without warning, and even with her usual smile, which caught him off guard.

Just seeing her feel well, seeing her so suitable, and seeing her better than before, he was glad in his heart, but also had more emotion and curiosity.

How exactly did she leave that year.

That year, how did she come to Beicheng?

That year, how did she make such a decision to be able to walk away like this?

Even in the past five years, I have never had any contact with anyone.

Shao Luochuan even asked Zhang Sisi about her situation later, but unfortunately, even Zhang Sisi didn't know where she was. I just heard Zhang Sisi say that she believes that she will definitely live a good life. He was silent at the time, didn't say a word, and could only choose to be silent.

Now, as she said.

Shao Luochuan couldn't help but smile, but he was in a trance.

It's just that this time we met, it was too long and too long.

After that, there was a lot of talk at the dinner table, there was no boundary, money was always warm, and hospitality always required hospitality. What's more, this is the son of the Shao family, and his status is self-evident, and he has also let go of his words, so he must be entertained well.

Blue Star doesn't talk much, but it can also pick up some of it just right, and it won't be too abrupt.

Occasionally. Shao Luochuan will have a few words with her. But even he himself found that he didn't know what he was saying. He just looked at her, and gradually, the joy in his heart spread.

I can see her so alive. Shao Luochuan was happy.

During this period, Blue Star went to wash his hands and made a phone call.

As soon as she picked it up, she heard a childish but concerned childish voice from the other end, "Mom." ”

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Didn't my mother say that you have to go to bed at nine o'clock? ”

"Because I miss you! Mom. Didn't you say to be back today? Why haven't you arrived home yet? Could it be that the plane was missed again? The childish voice once again took the lead, but questioned her.

"yes, the plane is missing again! Mom will be back soon, will you sleep first? Lan Xingye smiled happily, but couldn't help but have a headache, this little guy really has a good memory, and even knew that the plane would be missed.

"Okay." It was a helpless response.

"You let Aunt Huang listen to the phone." Lan Xingye said again, and the other person on the other end of the phone immediately turned to another person, it was Aunt Huang who was taking care of her, "Miss Lan!" ”

"Aunt Huang. It's late, you guys go to bed first, I'll be back in a moment. Remember to drink milk, and you must brush your teeth before you can sleep......" Lan Xingye tirelessly instructed, Aunt Huang smiled, "Ouch, Miss Lan, I remember what you say every day!" ”

"Thank you for your hard work, goodbye then." Blue Star Night responded. That's when he hung up the phone.

The dinner ended at about 10 o'clock in the evening, and then we went to the entertainment club that had been arranged long ago. When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Mr. Qian called, "Director Lan." You've just come back from the plane, so let's go back first. ”

"Yes." Lan Xingye nodded, she originally wanted to go back. Turning his head to look at Shao Luochuan, both of them had a hint of knowingness in their eyes, which was a smile that only old acquaintances would understand, "Mr. Luo." I'm really sorry, I was supposed to accompany you to continue, but I just got off the plane, and the jet lag hasn't adjusted yet. Tomorrow at noon, I will invite you to dinner as my apology. ”

Shao Luochuan smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait." ”

Lan Xingye said goodbye here, and she stopped the taxi and left.

Shao Luochuan's eyes kept following her departing figure, watching the car slowly drive away.

"Mr. Luo, you get in the car and we'll continue!" Mr. Qian shouted enthusiastically.

Shao Luochuan was very excited, he shook his head, "No need, I've been playing outside for the past two days, and I'm a little tired today." ”

"Ah, that's the case, then go back and rest first, and I'll do it another day!" Money is not always difficult.

Shao Luochuan smiled, and the corner of his eye swept to the taillight of the taxi, which had disappeared. He sat in the car at this time, and he still felt melancholy for a while.

Thankfully, I'll be able to see her tomorrow.

*******************************

Liancheng Group is well-known in Beicheng, and this time it is negotiating with its largest subsidiary, Hongxing. Since all the people in charge of the project have arrived, the meeting has officially begun. At ten o'clock in the morning, Shao Luochuan came to Hongxing and conducted a series of negotiations in the conference room. In terms of the ratio of project profit distribution, of course, it is divided into five or five according to the consistent one. The preliminary explanation of this project was completed by Blue Starry Night, because the preliminary research work was also completed by the team led by Blue Starry Night.

She stood in front of her, speaking as the slides shifted.

When the last slide was also shown, the lights in the conference room were lit up, Lan Xingye looked back at Shao Luochuan, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Luo, if you have any opinions, please point them out, and we will make relevant adjustments." ”

Shao Luochuan said, "I think Director Lan must have put a lot of effort into this preliminary investigation, because I didn't find any problems, so I couldn't catch a trace of mistakes and omissions." ”

His words of praise made everyone happy, so that the early stage of the cooperation project was at least smooth sailing.

For the next hour, we were all talking about the project. By the time it was over, it was already noon.

Shao Luochuan said, "Director Lan said yesterday that he wanted to invite me to dinner as an apology?" ”

"Of course, I still remember it. Then Mr. Luo, just give me this opportunity? Lan Xingye smiled in response.

Seeing this, Mr. Qian and the others didn't participate in it anymore, so they let the two of them go alone.

But he came to a small restaurant nearby, and when he entered, Shao Luochuan couldn't help but be stunned. Lan Xingye was very comfortable, walked in directly, and sat down on an empty table. It's just that this will remind Shao Luochuan of a lot of things. For example, when they were in S City in the past, they also went to similar restaurants and had dinner together. It's just that at that time, a qiΔ“ was just beginning. There are countless good things in it.

And now, perhaps the years have tempered not only time, but also life, and that silent heart.

No longer as youthful as it was then.

But perhaps, not a single qiΔ“ has changed.

At least. She would also come to eat at such restaurants.

Shao Luochuan asked with a smile, "You are now a director, and you will come to this kind of small restaurant?" ”

"Things in big restaurants are not necessarily as delicious as those in small restaurants." Lan Xingye smiled, "Senior Brother Shao, what do you want to eat?" Order whatever you want, I'm in for a treat today! ”

The familiar long-lost title sounded again, which made Shao Luochuan stunned, and he immediately joked, "Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" ”

"I can't eat enough here." Blue Starry Night also smiled.

"You can order it." Where does Shao Luochuan have a concept, just let her be casual. The blue starry night is no longer deadlocked. I ordered a few side dishes. Soon the dishes came up, Shao Luochuan tasted it, and sure enough, compared to yesterday's big hotel, the taste was more flavorful.

"How?" Blue Star asked with a smile.

Shao Luochuan said, "I agree with the first sentence you just said. ”

"Then eat more." Blue Star Night responded.

Shao Luochuan was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

Suddenly mentioned the past, but Lan Xingye was calm, she said softly, "Well, just take a walk." When I got here, I stopped. I liked the city so much that I stayed......"

Her soft female voice came, and Shao Luochuan listened quietly. In the end, he said, "The cultural heritage is good, better than S City." ”

Lan Xingye nodded, "Yes, it's not bad." ”

"Why didn't you contact us?" It's been five years since I left, and there has been no news of it.

At the mention of this, Lan Xingye frowned slightly. She was also sorry, so she could only whisper, "I'm sorry to worry you." ”

Shao Luochuan looked at her, his eyes drooped slightly, and the worry and anger at that time suddenly settled down after five years. He was willing to blame and complain, so he just said, "Fortunately, I saw you so good." ”

Lan Xingye raised his eyes, his eyes were full of gratitude, and his smile bloomed.

Coming out of the small restaurant, Lan Xingye was going back to the company, she asked casually, "Mr. Luo has been out for so long, when do you plan to go back?" ”

There is no big problem with the negotiation here, just wait to go back and wait for the big man to reply.

Shao Luochuan said, "It's rare to come to Beicheng, and I want to go shopping again." ”

"Huh? Didn't get enough of the first two days? ”

"I think it will take two more days to go, but I don't know, Director Lan is free?" Shao Luochuan invited with a smile, and Lan Xingye naturally would not refuse, "Luo always wants to visit Beicheng, how can I not be available?" ”

*********************

That night, in the northern city in the evening, the sky was already dark.

On the road opposite the Hung Hing company building, a car was parked. Inside the car, Shao Luochuan waited quietly. Looking at the time, it was almost time, and it was time for her to get off work.

Suddenly, he saw the figure in the crowd coming out of the building.

Shao Luochuan was about to get out of the car, but in the next second, he saw who she was smiling at. She walked forward, but the smile wasn't because she saw him. His eyes immediately went to the source, only to see another car parked on the road facing the building.

A man got out of the car, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and at first glance he knew that he was also an elite.

Lan Xingye smiled and chatted with him, and the man opened the car door for her, and then they both got into the car.

Then, the man carried her away.

Shao Luochuan looked at this scene, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He didn't have time to ask at noon, in fact, he should have thought a long time ago, how could a beautiful woman like her have no suitors by her side.

But, is he a step too late?

Perhaps, many years ago, he did not have a chance. Because, it's impossible.

The road was full of streams, and in the car carrying Blue Starry Night away, there was light music. Lan Xingye turned around and looked at the man beside him, "Why did you come suddenly?" Isn't the company busy after the year? ”
