At the end of each year, the city of K holds a large-scale charity auction. Some merchants offer various types of goods and collectibles of varying value, and the auctioneers sell them at prices higher than this value, and the funds raised are all managed by the Charity Federation. The event has matured and become a platform for business philanthropy. Chen Xinran was a volunteer at the event, but she didn't expect to see Fan Chengguang.

He walked in from the door, followed by Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu waved his hand to her, and Fan Chengguang also saw her and walked straight over, which surprised Chen Xinran a little.

She hurriedly greeted politely: "Mr. Fan, hello! Welcome! “

"Nobody, don't pretend." Fan Chengguang shook her hand.

"I didn't know you were going to be there in person?"

"Look at you. When you were there, you said that you were on a business trip, and you hadn't seen you for more than half a month, so you came to S City, and you said that you couldn't ask for leave. I'm afraid that as soon as I come back, you'll have to go on a business trip again. So let's take a look at you first. The tone is ordinary, but it is more oppressive. Chen Xinran didn't answer, but his heart was full of twists and turns. After the first anniversary celebration, she still went to Fan Chengguang's apartment, and she took that night as a farewell. After that, she took annual leave and went out for 10 days. She wasn't brave enough to say the end, but she still had the ability to avoid him. "I'm so impressed. Mr. Fan, what do you like? ”

"Wait a minute, what do you like, say it, I'll shoot it for you."

"I don't dare. What the hell are you doing here? ”

"I'm going to talk to a few CEOs about the real estate cooperation of Diwang, and it just so happens that everyone can get together."

"Don't you develop it yourself?"

"The funds have not been recovered in Qingdao, and several conservatives in Tianyi Group are not willing to continue to ask the bank for loans, otherwise who would want to spend so much effort to make money for others."

"Your battle line has been getting longer and longer in the past two years."

"So you can understand my hard work. Don't be so naïve. I'm too busy to bother with you. I'll clean you up when I'm done with this project. Fan Chengguang patted her on the shoulder and walked away.

Zhao Yu stayed and chatted with her for a while. Because of Su Xiaoyan's divorce, the three of them became friends.

"Does Xiaoyan know you're back?"

"I don't know. Oh? We'll find out soon. Is that her boyfriend? Zhao Yu turned around and saw Su Xiaoyan. Chen Xinran hurriedly broke him away, "What?" She doesn't have a boyfriend, I'll take a look. She saw Su Xiaoyan walk into the venue with a middle-aged man, sat down, and hurriedly ran over.

"Xinran, help me say hello to Xiaoyan. I have something to do, but it's gone. Zhao Yu shouted from behind.

Su Xiaoyan smiled when she saw Chen Xinran rushing over, "I know that you, Section Chief Chen, must be there." ”

"Then don't call yet."

"I don't have any money, so I called and said I wanted to donate. I came with Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan, my good friend Chen Xinran, from the Finance and Taxation Bureau. Mr. Pan, my client. Su Xiao's words were concise and to the point, without a trace of strangeness on his face, and Chen Xinran immediately confirmed the ordinary relationship between them. Pan Renjun politely said a few words and walked away.

"I think that person is there, too."

"Hmm."

"Broke up?"

"Sort of."

Su Xiaoyan hugged Chen Xinran and said, "Take your time." How was the prosecutor last time? ”

Chen Xinran looked at Fan Chengguang in the distance, who was chatting with a woman with low eyebrows. "After the blind date, I went out. He actually came to pick me up and played outside for a day. So be it. ”

"Things are always going in a good direction! Go get busy! I might have left earlier, so I'll come over and take a picture of Mr. Pan. He donated some jewelry. ”

On the stage, the host invited the guests to take a seat, and Chen Xinran hurriedly ran to the front to sit. Su Xiaoyan watched Fan Chengguang sit behind her casually, and Zhao Yu turned around to say hello to her and sat down. Every time he saw Zhao Yu, Su Xiaoyan's mood was complicated. On one side is the feeling of being trusted, and on the other side there is a feeling of being exposed to him. She always felt that Zhao Yu was elusive, who could know a lawyer.

Pan Renjun told her that this year's charity event was particularly grand, because the main leaders of the city took the lead in organizing it, and some enterprises were much more generous than in previous years. Su Xiaoyan bluntly said why are you willing to donate so much jewelry? Pan Renjun also replied calmly: "One, I really want to do something good." Since the death of my wife, I want to accumulate virtue. The other one is the advertising fee. If you smash hundreds of thousands of TV stations, you might as well put them here. ”

Su Xiaoyan nodded in agreement. When it was Pan Renjun's turn to take the stage to introduce, she also got up and took a few photos.

"Your friend loves that necklace." Fan Chengguang leaned forward and said into Chen Xinran's ear.

"How do you know?" Chen Xinran asked strangely, and as soon as she turned her head, Fan Chengguang's eyes made her turn back again.

"She was so excited about the necklace that she forgot to press the shutter." Fan Chengguang said with a smile. His mind is meticulous, his eyes are vicious, especially his observation of people, which makes Chen Xinran a little surprised. Then his grasp of women's preferences is even more extraordinary. This little bit of his own caution is really not worth mentioning with him.

"It's really for her." Zhao Yu suddenly spoke, making both of them stunned. Fan Chengguang looked at him meaningfully, and Zhao Yu replied to give him a very calm look. Fan Chengguang retracted his eyes. The two didn't talk, but they both knew the answer.

Su Xiaoyan followed Pan Renjun back to his seat and said, "I didn't expect you to take out that fish-shaped diamond necklace and take it off." ”

"It's relatively niche, made by a designer who has just debuted, I will try it and see how everyone reacts. It doesn't sell well in the store. Pan Renjun looked at everyone's signs.

"Starts at 6,000."

Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so cheap." ”

Pan Renjun smiled and said, "Fundraising." And not profitable. Su Xiaoyan nodded awkwardly.

Fan Chengguang leaned forward and said to Chen Xinran: "Do you guess that man likes your good friend or not?" ”

"Which one?" Chen Xinran turned around again. Fan Chengguang pointed at Pan Renjun with his eyes.

"That uncle. Her customers. Chen replied happily.

"Then try it for your friend." Fan Chengguang asked Zhao Yu to raise his card.

"It's 20,000 here." The moderator said.

The price continued to climb, and when it reached 25,000, the scene stopped for a while. Because it is a fundraiser, everyone does not raise the price much, and basically when it reaches a market price, everyone tacitly does not raise the price again.

"20,008." Zhao Yu raised a sign and shouted.

Su Xiaoyan looked over, and Zhao Yu smiled at her. She could only smile. But I felt something strange about him, and I didn't know what it was.

Pan Renjun suddenly got up and shouted, "30,000." ”

Fan Chengguang smiled and glanced at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu raised the card again, "30,002." "There was a little commotion at the scene. Su Xiaoyan was surprised by Pan Renjun's actions, but felt that it didn't matter, and there was no need to care about other people's affairs.

It wasn't until the price of each other was raised to 40,008 that the atmosphere in the venue was very high. Fan Chengguang said to Zhao Yu: "Give it to him, his own things." Donate and buy, it's not easy for a small boss to chase a woman. ”

Pan Renjun bought the necklace back, and applauded the whole process, and some media even came over to interview him. After everyone left, Pan Renjun handed the necklace to Su Xiaoyan and said, "I'll give it to you." Su Xiaoyan was at a loss and held the necklace.

Chen Xinran watched from a distance, then looked at Fan Chengguang, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know this?" Fan Chengguang leaned back in his chair and said, "I can still see this little look." Hello friend is divorced, but the market is still quite big. Chen glared at him happily and turned around without speaking. Fan Chengguang came back and said, "You like it, I'll take a picture of it for you as a souvenir." Chen Xinran was stunned for a moment. The word "commemoration" may not have any other meaning for Fan Chengguang, but it has an extra meaning to Chen Xinran's ears. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a souvenir." If you see which one is the biggest in the audience, shoot it. ”

Fan Chengguang really looked at it seriously. There is a large blue-green porcelain jar on the ground, which looks exquisite, and gestured to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "It's really crazy." Shoot and shoot, don't let me move. ”

Because Pan Renjun kept pushing, Su Xiaoyan could only hold the necklace.

"Mr. Pan, I won't accept the necklace, if it's inconvenient for you to eat, I'll take it back first." I'll give it to you when I look at the gallery in a few days. ”

Pan Renjun didn't care, he didn't answer, he just asked, "Manager Su, stay and eat together." ”

"No, Mr. Pan, I still have something. Good bye! Su Xiaoyan left the venue, and Pan Renjun came out of the meeting.

The auction is basically over, and the dinner organized by the participants begins. Zhao Yu stood in front of the porcelain and looked at Chen Xinran. Fan Chengguang had already left his seat, and Chen Xinran looked around the venue and saw him talking and laughing with the beautiful woman with low eyebrows.

"Zhao Yu, who is that person?"

"To tell the truth?" "Hmm."

"Her identity is the proprietress of a machinery factory, and she is worth a good price. Ah Guang approached her to talk about cooperation in the Diwang project. ”

"Need her to join you?"

"Much needed. After she joins, she will drive a group of small shareholders to bundle up, which can solve part of the capital problem. ”

"Will you join?"

"Definitely."

"Why?"

"It used to be Ah Guang's lover."

"Oh. Okay again? ”

"No, now you're there. He only talked to her about investment. ”

Chen Xinran looked at Zhao Yu, and he returned her with a calm face. When he talked about Fan Chengguang's love history, he was really frank and indifferent. Chen Xinran suddenly remembered that he and Fan Chengguang were open and honest for the first time. He said that if they were married, they would not owe anything, and they could be together because they liked it. She looked at Fan Chengguang and the beautiful married woman, thought of the relationship between them, and felt ridiculous. In the past 2 years, she has been immersed in **** and can't extricate herself, but she is deceiving herself, thinking that she is special, so that he can divorce himself one day, and they can live happily together. But in the end, you can't escape just a man's plaything.

Her self-hurting expression was displayed in front of Zhao Yu at a glance.

"You're always special. He didn't touch unmarried women before. Zhao Yu still said lightly, as if he was just stating a fact.

"Dinner." Chen Xinran pulled Zhao Yu to the dining table as if no one was around. Fan Chengguang frowned and didn't come over.

Fan Chengguang shared a table with several big bosses, and Chen Xinran pulled Zhao Yu to sit together. The tablemate also asked if it was a boyfriend. Chen Xinran laughed at himself and said that the barrister didn't take a fancy to me.

After a few rounds of drinking, Zhao Yu whispered to Chen Xinran: "I told you the truth just now, you can't use me as cannon fodder." ”

"Me and Xiaoyan, who do you like more?"

Zhao Yu said: "You are smart on the outside, but confused on the inside. Xiaoyan is confused on the outside, but clear on the inside. "Who do you prefer?"

Zhao Yu said: "If you directly ask me if I like Xiaoyan or not, I will answer." I like her, not the kind you think. Because I've seen her go through the most depressed time, the most bullied time, and still have that tranquility. You are a good girl, and I hope you can do the same, leaving Ah Guang and living a simple life. ”

"You're really the best friend!"

Zhao Yu smiled indifferently in the face of this ridicule, "You just asked me to tell the truth, I agreed, so I can't deceive you." ”

"A lawyer can really pretend." The two men burst out laughing.
