After driving the Alto and breaking through the night, I finally came to the moat, still the familiar part of the river, but I was alone.

It's nothing, I'm used to being lonely here, and I'm not lonely, at least there's smoke, and those bare trees, and gusts of cold wind blowing.

I took out the cigarette case from my pocket, smoked a cigarette and put it in my mouth, and repeatedly touched my pocket before I realized that I had forgotten the lighter on the bar table.

I was a little annoyed, but it wasn't worth the trouble of driving from the countryside into the city to buy a lighter just to light a cigarette.

But without the company of cigarettes, I was poisoned by loneliness, and at this time I remembered Janeway, and if she was here at the moment, she would have lit a cigarette for me with that blue lighter.

But after all, this is if, most of her at the moment is not in Suzhou, otherwise Yan Yan invited her to dinner at noon today, why didn't she be?

So I forcibly extinguished my desire for a cigarette, and lay down on the withered lawn, looking at the sky, my eyes full of twinkling stars, but my heart blank.

At this moment, the moat was really quiet, so quiet that I could hear the sound of my own heartbeat and the sound of the wind blowing the dead leaves, and I finally couldn't bear the loneliness of not having smoke, and sang loudly, until I was the only one who sang the all-encompassing world......

"Zhaoyang, is that you?"

The voice was very soft, I thought it was an illusion, but she was already standing beside me, and it was not Janeway.

"Why are you still in Suzhou? Why are you here again? "I asked Janeway two questions in a row, because I was incredible.

"I've been in Suzhou because the advertising agency has already been formed...... I've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I'll come and sit for a while after work every day. ”

I looked at her, but I saw a trace of desolation in her as if it were an illusion, after all, how lonely it is for a woman to sit alone by this inaccessible moat in the dead of night! Lonely than my loneliness!

I was silent for a long time and said to her, "Why bother? ”

Janeway smiled and replied, "Are you pitying me?" …… I don't feel sorry for me, because I often think of it as a beautiful ink painting. ”

"But you are the most scattered leaf in this painting! …… You can live well as long as you want, so why let an advertising agency be a burden to yourself? ”

Jian Wei looked at me with a questioning expression and said, "You didn't say that last time, you said that I would definitely succeed and successfully run a top advertising agency!" ”

"That's a premise, if you can take it easy, not like you are."

"What's the matter now, I live my life to the fullest, and coming here is just a way to relax, just like some people go to a bar to have fun!"

Seeing her strong appearance, I didn't want to argue with her anymore, so I shook the cigarette in my hand and asked her, "Have you brought a fire, borrow a fire?" ”

Jian Wei didn't expect me to be so light, so she was stunned before taking out the lighter from her handbag, and then helped me light the cigarette in the cold wind.

I took a heavy puff of cigarette and spit it out heavily, and then asked Jian Wei, "Aren't you going back to Shanghai for the New Year?" ”

"Shanghai is so close to Suzhou, you can go back and forth at any time."

I was silent for a long time before I said, "I mean: what is your parents' attitude towards what you are doing now?" ”

"Then you just say it, why do you have to turn around and ask?"

"Manifest my essence and nurture your intellectual ......"

Janeway laughed as she watched me "flutter" as if in my memory she hadn't laughed like that since she returned.

"You are still as open-mouthed as before, which makes people cry and laugh!"

"We shouldn't talk about the old days, even though I'm still the same person."

"I know, because I'm not the ...... I am anymore," Janeway said, looking at the rippling river with a little blankness.

"You haven't sued me yet, what your parents think of your advertising company."

Janeway looked back at me, frowned, and said, "Don't ask me this question again, I remember I told you that no matter who objected, I would make this matter a dream come true." ”

"Janeway, don't you think you're very willful?"

"Hehe, huh...... But have you ever thought about it, if I wasn't willful, why did I fall in love with you and follow you in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have so much pain if I fell in love with so-and-so! ”

Janeway's words made me blame myself and feel down, at this time she had already denied what we had been, she regretted it, regretted her willfulness at the beginning, regretted the pain she endured after that willfulness.

"Do you regret being with me in the first place? Yes, I never deny it, I don't deserve you, it's all my fault! I said in a low voice, but it was not sarcastic Janeway, but self-blame from the bottom of my heart, if there was if, I would definitely be an acquaintance at the beginning, and not start this love with her that finally tore each other apart.

Jian Wei looked at me and said, "Zhaoyang, I don't regret it, because I'm still willful, and you're not wrong, it's me who is ...... wrong."

Janeway and I looked at each other, remembering that we had just talked about not talking about the past, why did we talk so much at this moment, and what does this mean to us? It will only make each other indulge in the pain and depression of the past!

But I didn't want Janeway to change the topic before me and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about you, how is the bar running recently?" ”

"It's a lot better than before."

Jian Wei nodded and said, "This is expected, because your marketing methods accurately capture the psychological needs of target consumers...... However, the warmth marketing you mentioned earlier has not yet been reflected. ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

"A little bit of a little construction, uh...... Those customers who consume in the bar, I have recently followed their Weibo, many of them can't go back for the Chinese New Year for various reasons to express regret on Weibo, do you think this is an opportunity to do warm marketing? ”

I looked at Janeway and immediately asked, "What do you mean: invite them to the bar for Chinese New Year's Eve, so that they can experience the atmosphere of the New Year and the warmth of family in a foreign land?" ”

Jane Wei nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it means, you must know that people are often the most emotional during the festival, at this time to do warm marketing, the effect is also the best, we can prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for different customers according to the characteristics of their hometowns, such warm marketing will make them have a strong sense of belonging to the bar, and then they can take advantage of the situation to switch to membership management, and then transition to a club-type bar, once the transition is successful, it means that the bar transformation is successful, and even has generated brand power, Further, the brand can eventually be formed. ”

I applaud Jian Wei, this is a very accurate, very complete idea, worthy of being born in an advertising family, her insight makes me, a long-term planning person, sigh inferior, at this moment I have a hunch, maybe this time I can really completely solve the problem of running the bar, fulfill the promise to Le Yao, and then regain my freedom and choose my life again.

It's just that I don't know how Mi Cai, who is still on the plane at this time, chooses? Maybe she really needs some time to figure out how she feels about me, and all I have to do is give myself a little patience and keep waiting......
