Passers-by stopped to see what was going on, Song Yufang hurriedly pulled Fu Yongxi to the side of the street in a panic, and comforted softly: "You came alone today, I can't afford it." I'm not a fool either, how could I not know that you are so good to me. I...... It's not that I deliberately treat you as a kind of person in my heart, but I can't stand the fact that someone always tells me who you are. To put it bluntly, I'm not blessed to be your bosom friend......" Speaking of this, it was also a stomach of grievances, whimpering and wiping tears.

In the end, there were too many passers-by who gathered around and waited to see the show, so the two of them reluctantly reconciled first. After escaping from the gaze of the crowd, Fu Yongxi got into a rickshaw and hurried back without even saying goodbye.

And in the Rouge Hutong, after the banquet was dispersed, Sun Futang, as the protagonist, was the last to go.

A table of distinguished guests has just dispersed, and new business has not yet been picked up. Sister Li sat under the lamp with her two daughters, and chattered: "Yuxian'er is not worried, she looks good and has a good mouth, she can sing and play the piano." I also competed for myself, and learned to make poetry with the old gentleman next door, and the façade here is all obedient. Gui Xiangxi understands things, and he listens to his words, but he doesn't know how to stutter. Young Master He is a good guest, the grandmother is in the south, and she is here alone, and she has nowhere to use it if she has Yangdian in her hand. I don't need to talk about it, it's pretty generous. Even if you take care of your face and refuse to please the small, you are the same as Uncle Yi Niang's grandson, it is rare to come to eat tea, please invite the table, and there are thousands of businesses in a year. As he was talking, his eyes suddenly sank, and he poked Xiao Guixiang's forehead and reprimanded, "Guixiang, Nong is a dead man?" A noodle guest helped Nong to please Young Master He, Nong was good, his face was red, and he didn't know what to say. Hair snort, say 'hate', don't be too happy when the man's family sees it! As he spoke, he got up and shook his handkerchief, raised his eyebrows, and told Xiao Guixiang to learn hard.

Yu Xian'er looked at it while fiddling with the pendant on her ear to relieve her boredom, and was stunned for a while.

Xiao Guixiang still lowered her head, licked her lips in fear, and nodded her head in response.

"If you don't look at it, you can tell that you know, you know a soul!" Sister Li stood up angrily, and as soon as she pinched Xiao Guixiang's arm with her hand, she heard the cousin shouting that the guests were coming, so she had to give up.

Sun Futang, who was walking in the alley, was sometimes tactful and sometimes sternly admonished He Shunqing: "I don't force you to like this kind of occasion, but don't think that you have been baptized by civilization and you can be dust-free." Keeping silent in protest is not a good idea. Or you also qualify as a congressman and call for a world you want. Young people are always prone to idealization, thinking that they must be different. When I was younger, why wasn't it? But if you want to do business, you must first learn to deal with various people in various situations. Even if you stand in the place you hate, in the face of people you don't like, you have to do it! ”

He Shunqing's ears were full of singing and laughter in this area, and he first snorted disdainfully at the red lanterns on both sides, and then asked, "Uncle Mother, except for the hall, is there no other place to talk about things?" ”

Sun Futang replied: "Fengyun, politics and business, and elegant literati all love to come to these eight alleys. Those chiefs and deputy chiefs have to move their unfinished official duties here to continue. If you don't come here to listen to music and drink, this day's business is simply not over. ”

He Shunqing was a little unconvinced: "Is it right to come?" Everyone listened to the music and drank wine, and the girls interrupted a few irrelevant words from time to time, or even went on stage. I'm simply ...... That's it, I still don't talk about it, the more I talk about it, the more panicked I become. As he spoke, he eased his mind for a moment and asked, "Can you really be accurate about what you talked about today?" ”

Sun Futang smiled: "It seems to be possible, at least since I stepped out of the house to do things, this kind of scene has really seen a lot." The difficulties of the two lines of CCCC are already known to the whole country. When they come to this trip, they must be careful, and how much they should drink is measured in their hearts. If they refuse to help, they can pretend to be drunk and never talk about it. ”

Clearly said today's business, but inside and outside the words, he was still hinting at He Shunqing that he should learn the way to talk about things in the hall.

He Shunqing did not listen to the persuasion, and still chattered and complained: "When I read the economic page of the "Asia Daily", I have always taken an optimistic attitude, thinking that the Republic of China is about to enter the ranks of economic powers. But as far as I am concerned, Yuan Shikai took the trouble to gather a large group of capable men and wise men from the south, and some councilors could even give 800 oceans a month. However, there are almost no real economic opinions that can be advisable. However, there are lonely people living here, and most of the silver money is squandered in Fengyue Field, which makes this Shoushan District look fierce and vigorous on the surface. However, I think that if the Ministry of Finance's economic summary always deceives itself into the 'achievements' of brothel donations and the spread of tobacco and drugs, then the future of this country is really bleak. ”

After hearing this, Sun Futang sneered: "You actually read the article of Asia, there are so many people in his family from top to bottom, and they almost didn't tie Yuan Jiajun's headscarf on their heads. Then, turning his mind around, he took a detour, "Speaking of which, I have a saying. Although I learned from foreigners to run a bank, every time I heard the talk of full Europeanization, my heart was jammed. Counting the opium trade in the economic account, who did you learn this shameless algorithm? According to me, there are many faults in ancient and modern China and abroad. You don't want to be unaccustomed to seeing the old routine, the manager and director who are here today are just going with the flow. But as soon as you enter the bank, it's all reliable. Remember to be patient in life and work, or hide your strictness. ”

"My uncle thinks I'm idealistic, and if that's the case, I can't stay in Beijing right now. Since he did not choose revolution, then Yuan Shikai's words are difficult to see, as long as he is still president for one day, as long as he is still in power, I have to pay attention to his economic policies. ”

He Shunqing's rebuttal was obviously a little negative, but the reason why Sun Futang took great pains to persuade him was just that he hoped that He Shunqing could retract the edges and corners and use the anger of idealism in practical work. However, at this time, he also felt the gap between the two generations that could not be crossed, and it seemed difficult to let young people who advocate civilized life let go of their spirits. Walking to the entrance of the alley, the driver had already opened the door.

Sun Futang stepped on the car, just got into half of his body, thought for a while and then withdrew: "Shunqing, don't follow me." You've been in Beijing for more than a year, and I don't think I've let you out to go shopping in the market. ”

He Shunqing smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, although I'm busy these days, I don't feel that I can't support it." When this is over, there will always be time. ”

Sun Futang's eyes slowly dimmed, looking a little listless, shaking his head and sighing: "I'm old, and I haven't experienced anything that I should watch and play." He thought about it, because he felt that this might not be too pessimistic, and it was not good for public or private, so he let out a very good smile and explained, "I mean, after this while, there will be the next one." I always think like this, when is it a leader? Let's go play, it's not good to let your brain spin, maybe you get tired of playing and go back to sleep, and you can think of ways to solve many problems. ”

He Shunqing understood the intention of these words, not as a boss, but because the elders had a little simple love for the juniors, and it was not good to brush off this kindness. So he agreed, "It's fine." Speaking of Beijing, I saw either the loneliness of the middle of the night and the early morning, or the busyness of the day. I really haven't really enjoyed the view. ”

The flashing lights of the car covered the already candle-lit street with a layer of cold white light.

The sound of Didi getting out of the car instantly overshadowed the shouting of the hall and the hawking on the street.

He Shunqing stood in the midst of the lights and wine, looking around, really not knowing where to go. He remembered that he had occasionally heard people say that the most all-encompassing and surprisingly brilliant place in Beijing was the overpass, so he asked for the way to the overpass.

###

When I arrived at the overpass, I saw that there were big reed sheds beside the road, and there were tea houses, fire shops, and beef and mutton sellers. If you don't look closely at how the stall owner receives the money with one hand and cuts the meat with the other, the smell is really gluttonous.

Every few steps you take, you can meet all kinds of jugglers, jugglers, and foreign films.

In addition to the down-to-earth ones, there are also small teahouses that middle people love to enter. Outside the wooden house, there was a row of tall and thick green trees. At noon, it can be used to shelter from the scorching sun. Imagine a sunny and leisurely afternoon, sitting under this tree, but it is a quiet place in the middle of noisy. Two pairs of blue cloth curtains hung down at the door of the teahouse, and in it, there were performers, storytellers, all kinds of laughter and scolding, and orchestral silk and bamboo just sent to the ears.

He Shunqing walked around alone, and the more he saw interesting tricks, the more lonely he felt, and he felt a little homesick depressed. He was about to go back, but he heard someone behind him ask, "Isn't this Secretary He?" ”

It's strange that he has almost nothing to do in a foreign land except for work, and he doesn't know anyone else except his colleagues. How could a girl call out to him?

When he turned around, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really a coincidence, and there was a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Miss Song." ”

Song Yufang owed a debt and replied with a smile: "You are too polite, just call me Yufang." ”

He Shunqing saw that there was no one around her, so she asked, "Are you shopping alone?" What a coincidence, I'm also alone. Speaking of which, I'm a foreigner who comes here to live here, and I don't know where to see or see, so I wander around. Why don't you just follow you. ”

Song Yufang should naturally be fine. But there was a little drumming in my heart, probably because I had never walked side by side on the street with a young person of the opposite sex. However, He Shunqing is a new-school figure, and even Song Yufang herself is civilized, so she shouldn't be a twisted posture. When I think about it like this, I slowly don't get nervous.

The two walked all the way, and He Shunqing said again: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you feel about the last exam, can you pass the test?" ”
