【Chapter 08: New Year's Flavor】(3) Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

After passing the security check, Tang Qingyou went to the duty-free shop to buy some cosmetics and souvenirs, and then went to the waiting area to sit quietly. She held her mobile phone for a long time, and withdrew with a lack of interest before she finished a game.

There seemed to be something hanging in her heart, and she couldn't calm down, so she opened the address book of her mobile phone and turned out Tu Yiran's number. After hesitating and hesitating, she finally dialed it out.

As if he had a heart, the phone was connected before it rang. Tang Qingyou said, "It's me." "It's stuck.

Tu Yiran hummed and said, "Miss me?" ”

Tang Qingyou was choked, a little annoyed and angry, and almost dropped the phone: "Can you talk well?" I...... I just want to ask you, what happened when you came to Macau to see my mother two days ago? You'd spend the whole day playing with three little kids? It's also weird. Isn't it a waste that your time is so expensive? In the six years they have been together, he has been busier and busier year by year, in the past two years, he has not even had time to spend with her all day, and he has even broken up in a hurry, and now he actually has time to spend with his children all day, which is ironic to think about.

"You're in Macau now?" Tu Yiran did not answer her question, but grabbed the message in her words.

"I'm already going back, and I'll board the plane in half an hour." Tang Qingyou finished answering without thinking, and became angry again: "I'm asking you, won't you give an answer?" ”

Before putting it aside, the two had already pinched each other, but Tu Yiran seemed to have changed recently, and his temper was gone, "I'll tell you face to face." Now you have to turn off the plane, it's time for the plane to take off. Although he hung up the phone in a hurry, his tone was gentle.

Tang Qingyou didn't know what it was like, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't describe it. She was a little tired from running around for days, so she took a nap when she got on the plane, and when she was half asleep and half awake, her whole soul drifted to the college days that she had vaguely remembered.

Tang Qingyou in the dream was a little immature, and her later slap face was still a little baby fat at that time, she wore two braids, a pair of pure gold dotted emerald inlaid with tourmaline on the sideburns, a butterfly hairpin with excellent craftsmanship, and a light Luo gown skirt embroidered with water-green rattan flowers in the late Qing Dynasty, leaning on the window above the "Miss Building" built in the middle of the stage, and looking at the young talent downstairs shyly.

On the stage, the male protagonist who is like a crown jade and has a lofty atmosphere is discussing poetry with his "quasi-father-in-law" on the courtyard of the hall, and he has his own literary momentum in his gestures, and he does not notice that there is a pair of beautiful eyes upstairs peeping worriedly.

The actor waved on the spot, asked the old man, "Teacher, what do you think?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and read through, and praised it again and again, but he couldn't come down, so he called the maid over: "Take it and ask the young lady to take a look." ”

A delicate little maid took the order, went around to the side platform and went up the stairs, and walked along the corridor in the direction of the lady'......s building. I have also been to the Qionglin banquet, and I have also beaten Ma Yu Street in front of everyone, everyone praised me Pan Anxiang, who knows which ...... the gauze hat cover Chanjuan"

The play tells the story of a pair of talented and beautiful women in troubled times, and it is also a large-scale original play produced by Pingsheng Drama Club after 40 years.

That was the only time Fei Dong played the leading role, but when he came to talk about the copyright, the screenwriter of the stage play specified the conditions - now it seems that there are really some signs between the two.

Tang Qingyou didn't sleep soundly this night, half-dreaming and half-awake, both illusion and reality, and the people and stage scenes in his mind were dreams, not dreams. She felt that she had been singing "Female Horse" in her ears, and she slept in a daze until the plane landed, and the cabin was crowded.

There were a lot of people rushing home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Qingyou disappeared in the crowd, slowly swam to the airport hall, was taking out his mobile phone to call a car, and suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting "Yoyo!" ”

Looking up, Tu Yiran was dressed in a formal suit, dragging a business suitcase, shuttling through the bustling flow of people.

"I arrived half an hour before you." He walked over to Tang Qingyou with a smile, pulled away her suitcase, and showed a gestured expression, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

Tang Qingyou hesitated for a moment, seeing the crowds around him, he felt that this occasion was not suitable for hypocrisy, so he nodded. She thought that someone would come to pick up Tu Yiran, but she didn't expect him to take her directly down to the parking lot, explaining as she walked: "The car has been parked here for several days." ”

Tang Qingyou thought that his "good days" were three or five days, but he didn't expect it to be more than half a month, the parking lot was charged by the hour, and the settlement was settled in a single day, and the parking fee for more than half a month should be thousands of yuan, but the car drove to the exit, and the data that jumped out of the billing table was actually hundreds of thousands, and the two of them stared at the astronomical number, and they thought that the machine was out of order, and they called the management office to consult, and the management office replied: "The billing formula is set very scientifically, and the charging is charged by the hour every day, and the interval is increased proportionally, It's normal for you to occupy a parking space for a long time, and the cost is high. "It sounds fine, but when I look at the number again, it still feels like a dream, it's outrageous. Tang Qingyou had a crying and laughing expression on his face: "I can only call 12315." Chinese New Year's Eve I don't know if anyone will accept it? With that, the conductor Tu Yiran reversed the car back into the parking lot.

Although Tu Yiran was not bad for money, he was not wronged, so he immediately parked the car back, dragged the luggage of the two to the ground, called his lawyer directly, explained the matter, stopped a taxi, and finally ran to the city.

Tang Qingyou reported the address, but Tu Yiran said another one and asked the driver to take them to the east bank of the lake. Tang Qingyou said, "You don't want to send me?" When he got to his mouth, he swallowed it back, thinking that he was unlucky enough for this day, and it was not impossible to give him a ride by himself. Who knew that when he arrived at the destination, Tu Yiran directly unloaded Tang Qingyou's luggage, Tang Qingyou got out of the car to ask about the exact work, Tu Yiran had already paid the bill and sent the driver away.

Tang Qingyou stood at the gate of Dijing Garden, a golden real estate in the east of the lake, standing in the wind, watching the taxi leave a stream of car exhaust and leaving the dust, pulling up her luggage and planning to stop the car on the side of the road, but Tu Yiran stood in front of her and blocked the way: "Let's go to the house and sit for a while and have dinner together!" ”

"When did we become friends?" Tang Qingyou looked over with wide eyes, his eyes full of questions, "Eat supper together on New Year's Eve, and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together Chinese New Year's Eve." What could you be a little more creative? ”

Tu Yiran saw her refusal look, his brows furrowed slightly unconsciously, and when he heard her finish the last sentence, he couldn't help but smile: "You don't say that I really haven't found out, I'm really uncreative, and I can't find a new reason except to ask you to dinner." It seems that I am real, and the IQ is not enough. ”

Tang Qingyou listened to his self-ridicule, and his mood eased, but he was not angry: "You said that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, whose Chinese New Year's Eve is so unlucky to have a time with your ex-boyfriend?" Let's find each family and find each mother! ”

"Don't say it's unlucky for the New Year. And you see," Tu Yiran smiled and helped her analyze: "I didn't go to Canada to accompany my mother, and you didn't stay in Macau to accompany your mother." We can't do this today when we go back to each house to find our own mother, anyway, we are all alone for the New Year, so it's better to have a good meal together and have someone to talk to, right? ”

Thinking of his cold nest, going back is indeed a person with four walls, even the refrigerator is empty, most of the businesses have closed, and the hotel Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be booked in advance, Tang Qingyou knows that he has no place to solve this dinner, but it is better to push the boat along the water and rub it here in Tu Yiran? Thinking of this, she asked tentatively, "Just eating?" ”

"What else do you want to do?" Tu Yiran leaned into Tang Qingyou's ear and teased.

Tang Qingyou subconsciously dodged away, and smiled: "I really don't have a place to solve dinner, then, it's better to be respectful, thank you Mr. Tu for your hospitality." ”

The house in Dijing Garden has housekeeping staff who come to clean and replenish the ingredients regularly, and they have never run out of food. And Tu Yiran made a good Western food, Tang Qingyou sat in the hall with confidence and waited for the meal.

As a result, just as Tu Yiran served the steak and was about to open red wine, Tang Qingyou was so frightened that he hurriedly added: "Are you sure you're having a treat tonight?" ”

Tu Yiran was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I'm the master of this family, right?" ”

Tang Qingyou nodded.

Tu Yiran asked again: "I proposed to eat together, right?" ”

Tang Qingyou nodded again.

Tu Yiran said with a smile: "Although my time is billed by the second, today is a holiday, so there is no charge!" ”

Tang Qingyou nodded, and immediately shook it again: "What I want to say is that the price of this bottle of red wine is higher than my current salary for a year, and I can't even afford to pay for the wine, don't scare me." He pointed to the thing in Tu Yiran's hand.

Tu Yiran picked up the red wine and looked at the wine license and year carefully, thought about it, and said, "You should remember this bottle of red wine, it is also free." ”

"Well, when I became a white warrior once, I scattered a billion in exchange. That's why you named it 'Samurai', right? Tang Qingyou remembers better than him, this is the collection of Wang Zhuo, the major shareholder of Shuofeng Technology, the French winery, when Tu Yiran released her pigeon to save the city for Wang Zhuo's platform, saving Shuofeng Technology, Wang Zhuo transported this box of private treasures to Tu Yiran, Tu Yiran calculated that this box of wine is equivalent to this house, and it has to be kept for celebration when there is a big event, so he also found someone to test and repair the wine cellar...... Now, he suddenly took out this wine and opened the bottle, is it to celebrate the New Year? In a few seconds when her thoughts were flying, Tu Yiran had already taken out the cork.

Tu Yiran poured wine into the decanter while saying his opinion: "If one billion can be exchanged for a friend with a two-ribbed knife, it will be worth it." ”

Tang Qingyou smiled meaningfully: "When you have billions, billions, billions, billions, and billions, there are many people who want to stick knives in your ribs. When you're penniless, you'll see how many more people will stay with you. ”

Tu Yiran poured her wine and asked, "Then, if one day, I become a poor egg, will you stay by my side?" ”

"Your assumption doesn't hold true. First of all, emaciated camels are bigger than horses. If you're going to be a poor guy in your life, I'm afraid you won't have much of a chance. Tang Qingyou used a combination of knives and forks, skillfully cutting the steak, "Secondly, whether you are poor or rich, I am still ...... It's just your ex-girlfriend. ”

Tu Yiran listened, suddenly put down the knife and fork in his hand and walked to her, half-knelt in front of her, and looked up at her: "Youyou, give me another chance." I know that I used to be busy with my own business and neglected you, and from now on, I will spend more time with you. Let's not separate anymore, shall we? "Unlike the proposal battle that day, the scene in front of me finally did not look like a ceremony, but a very ordinary appearance, like the male owner of an ordinary family discussing the color of the curtains and the pattern of the carpet with the hostess, which is very natural.

Tang Qingyou didn't expect him to come out of nowhere, so he had to put down his knife and fork and answer him seriously: "You don't want to be like this, I'm not used to it." Anyway, you said it, you can't do it. You still have a long way to go if you want to make a name for yourself internationally, if you want to be an ace in the investment world like Rydalio, and now is the prime time for your career sprint, and you can't be a qualified boyfriend, let alone a husband. And I, since I can't find the security I want here, it's good to go out and find a piece of my own sky. I still say that being friends with you is much easier and happier than falling in love with you. ”

Tu Yiran took Tang Qingyou's hand and said, "In the future, I shouldn't be so busy." Bo Yi is about to break up. ”

Tang Qingyou pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted, and was shocked by the news of Bo Yi's split: "So suddenly? After she asked, she thought of Shen Bo's previous sale to her, and couldn't help but ask again: "Doing investment is not engaging in industry, what are the differences between you?" How could the separation be so serious? How do you divide it? ”

"Lao Shen wants to concentrate on playing the cultural industry, and I want to continue to deploy the technology sector. Continuing to guard the brand of Bo Yi, there are only so many funds that can be used, Lao Shen has analyzed with me, and he can only mobilize enough funds to do what he wants to do only by withdrawing and regrouping. And if I operate alone, there are good projects in the future, and we continue to work together, and the possibility of pushing up the yield may be greater. It's just that he wants to concentrate all his capital to make a cultural fund, in that case, he has to withdraw with capital to be able to set up a project. ”

"What?!" Tang Qingyou couldn't sit still, "He is a major shareholder, he withdraws and takes away all the capital relations that can be used, what should you do?" Even if you have the right of first refusal, you can't afford to eat such a large plate of low-profit projects! No matter who is the leader of the project at the beginning, each project of Boyi Investment is jointly approved by the two of you, how to divide those intricate long-term investment projects? ”

Tu Yiran saw Tang Qingyou's anxious appearance for him, and the warmth in his heart rose, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his facial lines softened: "Do a round of negotiations with the fund in your hand to strive for more financial support; The profitable project can be thrown away as much as possible, and the project can also be pledged to repurchase the share capital internally, and it is not difficult to divide the family, but the difficult thing is the future positioning and development. I've thought about it, let him take everything he wants. Or maybe I'm gone, and it's better to divide it this way, and I can just take a break. Or, I can retire now. Don't you still have a lot of places you want to go? I'll just walk around with you, okay? ”

When Tang Qingyou heard this, he finally realized that something was wrong with Tu Yiran. She shook her head desperately: "No, Tu Yiran, you won't want to retire." You just encountered a hurdle, you are tired, you feel that you can't get over, and you want to give up. But this state will not last long, even if you don't want to move, there will be people from the outside world to push you to move, you will soon find a solution to the dilemma, and then, you will have your way to go. Then you'll be busier than ever, and finally...... It occurred to me that someone once said that when you find it hard and difficult, you are often walking uphill. Tu Yiran, you said, should I congratulate you in advance, you will have your own world. She knows Tu Yiran too well, and at this moment she can deduce Tu Yiran's complete state: he will have the idea of retreating, most likely because of the conflict of interests with Shen Bo's "separation", he has always regarded Shen Bo as the best mentor and friend, so he naturally retreats step by step, but the wolf nature in his bones keeps popping up, he can't find a balance, so he wants to hide, and wants to fulfill a comradeship between himself and Shen Bo, but after so many years in the investment circle, he already has his own network and status. Those people and institutions that are tied to his interests are all watching him with blank eyes, waiting for him to take the lead in sorting out the old rivers and mountains...... In reality, all she can do is encourage.

"Come back." After Tu Yiran finished speaking, he gently hugged Tang Qingyou and got closer, as if he had said good morning before, and his lips landed a kiss on her forehead. This time, Tang Qingyou didn't push him away.

Later, the two of them leaned on the sofa, and Tu Yiran told his recent situation little by little: "When Lao Shen Ti separated, I was in Silicon Valley and saw a very beautiful case, interactive remote VR voice-controlled artificial intelligence appliances, which are very in line with the development trend of the Internet of Things in the future, but I was not in the mood to continue, so I took three days off." During those three days, I went to Miami alone, disconnected from the Internet, and then I suddenly found that I had not taken a vacation for many years, looking at cases, talking about projects, and traveling for business trips every day...... Sometimes hundreds or thousands of proposals are submitted in a day, and a few minutes can make the difference between life and death for a company. I have to wonder if it's because I'm busy with robots and lack human touch, so my girlfriend is leaving, and my partner is going to break up. Yoyo, I'm sorry, I really know it's wrong. ”

Tang Qingyou disdains to send charcoal in the snow, and he is not good at falling into the well. When Tu Yiran's career suffered a great change and she was depressed and pretending to be relaxed, she asked herself, but she couldn't bear to refuse. However, as early as when she proposed to break up, she had already made up her mind to be a free person and earn a future where she could make her own decisions. Once he and Tu Yiran continue to be involved, I am afraid that the future will be indispensable to those troubles in the past.

She carefully asked herself, where is her bottom line?

Inside was a battle between heaven and man, and she fell into deep thought. Until the bottom of his heart gradually became clear, the persistence from the soul was like a needle inserted in the depths of his heart, with a line of words engraved on it: At the very least, he must no longer work with him in the workplace. She finally made up her mind and made up her mind.

Tang Qingyou didn't know how long the time had passed, but when she raised her eyes to look at the lights outside the window, looking at the light from the intersection of starlight and lights on the lake, her heart began to calm down. As soon as she thought of it, she pushed Tu Yiran away and smiled lightly.

Under the light, Tang Qingyou's curly eyelashes flickered with a black luster, and between the flashes, the two obsidian-like eyes shone brightly, and Tu Yiran sighed in his heart, a little bad premonition. At this time, he suddenly heard Tang Qingyou let out a long breath and said slowly: "Let's make an agreement, shall we?" ”
