In my hesitation, Li Shi had already hung up the phone, and after a while, he directly launched a video invitation with me, I turned on the wall lamp, exhaled heavily before connecting the video, and said first: "Hey, Mr. Li!" ”

Li Shi on the other end of the video was silent for a while before asking, "Why is it so formal today?" ”

"After all, I'm talking to international friends, so of course I have to pay attention to it."

"Then why don't you get dressed and just get on the video?"

"Uh...... Today's rainstorm in Xi'an, I forgot to wear it after changing out of wet clothes, and I can handle these six-pack abs anyway. "I spoke very slowly, in fact, I also wanted to bring up some topics, because I was thinking about whether to talk to her about today's conversation.

Li Shi didn't refute, nodded and said, "It's not bad." ”

I couldn't answer these turns, so I could only talk awkwardly: "What's the weather like over there?" ”

Li Shi walked out of the door with her mobile phone, I realized that she was in a very large villa, due to the time difference, she should be more than one o'clock in the afternoon at the moment, in the sunshine, she wore a beige sunhat, a fashionable black and white casual dress, walking on the turf comfortably, this scene instantly overturned my previous speculation, her economic level should be far above Lao Gou, there is no need for sugar daddy, let alone the so-called for money.

As if she were deliberately showing me around the scenery, she didn't say a word, but took her phone around in a circle, and then walked up to a high ground with a panoramic view of the entire garden villa.

"When are you going to come back?"

Li Shi suddenly couldn't answer, and fell into silence, this silence made me feel her bad mood now, whether she can find funds this time is too important, after all, it is about whether she can officially start the project in a week.

After some weighing, I was glad that I didn't tell her about Lao Gou, and finally said to her after a while: "It's really not possible, we can narrow down the scope and negotiate with the merchants along the way one by one to see if we can talk about the settlement later." ”

Li Shi's expression suddenly became sad, and I could even hear her sighing heavily......

At this moment, I suddenly have a strong desire, I hope to be able to help Li Shi complete the goal set this time, because this is not only about whether I can get the right to operate the hostel, but also to give Li Shi a reward, these days, I have encountered difficult events, she has basically participated, and can provide me with ways to solve the problem and belief, I should do something for her, of course, this is not an equivalent exchange, but a kind of sincerity for sincerity.

But I know that my strength is meagre and I can't play a huge capital game, but I can give full play to the advantages of my professional network in the past few years, and use this project as a starting point to find some partners along the new route who can provide us with turnaround time, even if this kind of empty glove white wolf thing is really unacceptable.

"Why didn't you run away without clocking in after work today, Zhang Manli couldn't stop you when she said it."

I was a little embarrassed by her, took a sip of tea to hide my discomfort, and then looked out the window where it was still raining, and said: "I'm scared by her, and I'm always troubled by her, I'd rather not be rewarded for full attendance, but I have to save my life." ”

"Anyway, the bonus is gone, so if she makes trouble for you in the future, you can just slip away."

I didn't expect Li Shi to give such an explanation, apparently she didn't intend to ask me about Xingshi, and I cleverly avoided what happened in the bathroom.

After the video call with Li Shi, I was a little more sleepy, and I still waited and saw what happened to Lao Gou, and when Li Shi came back, I planned to find an opportunity to find out the real relationship between her and Lao Gou.

……

Time continued to advance three days, in the past three days, I did not pin my hope on the business of picking up Jiang Laiyue, still according to the original plan to shuttle to the various businesses along the way, but the result made me a little disappointed, even if I met some partners who were interested in the project, but the conditions were quite harsh, which obviously could not meet the company's current planning needs, because I have been working in this industry for several years, I know how much trouble this kind of binding conditions will bring.

It was another tiring evening, and I stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows for a while, and subconsciously looked at the outskirts of the city, but still did not find the island outside the city, and maybe it would never appear again.

After sorting out the papers, I picked up my briefcase and left the office, it was close to six o'clock, and on the way to the bus stop, I received a call from Song Niange, who said that she wanted to do a small publicity campaign.

The thought that the "Ichimi" coffee shop would close in less than two months, I felt very uncomfortable, and immediately agreed.

After getting off the bus stop, a short walk to the coffee shop, far away I saw Qu Sen's license plate number, he seemed to have found me, parked the car and leaned on the side of the car to wait for me, after patting each other on the shoulder, he was still the same as before, very intimate hugging my shoulder.

Qu Sen jokingly asked, "I heard that I plan to play a promotional concert today?" ”

"I only know how to run an event, I don't know what form it takes."

"Then you kid can be regarded as raising his eyebrows today, I heard that people who play music are quite pretending."

I suddenly stopped, smiled and said, "Looks like you've been playing music all these years!" ”

Qu Sen smiled and said: "There is already a musician at home, how will I live if I play this life again, you used to sing so well, but now you are not shrunk by real life." ”

"So my understanding is: people who play music don't want to play music, only people who pretend to be forced want to play music."

Qu Sen shrugged: "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic, after all, you and I don't play music, it's not worth arguing about this!" ”

"Then what should I say to Shen Lin?"

"Yu Hang, don't be so unrighteous!"

I smiled and didn't continue, because not everyone in this world will understand behavior outside of their own norms, and people will desperately find reasons for themselves in order to alleviate their guilt and inner discomfort, and they are used to blaming others, which is not good or bad. But over time, a momentary behavior becomes a habit, and it will ruin your life.

After waiting on the seat in the square for a while, Qu Sen looked at his watch, then looked at the intersection, and complained: "Why hasn't Shen Lin arrived yet, it can't be a traffic jam on the road, right?" ”

"Why don't you just make a phone call and ask?"

Qu Sen's expression became a little gloomy for a moment, and he smiled helplessly: "She habitually doesn't answer my calls, although we live together, but I always can't figure out her temper, she often has a cold face to people, and no one can stand it if she has a good temper." ”

I was silent for a long time, and I also responded to Qu Sen's helpless smile and said, "Maybe she has a stronger temperament!" ”

Qu Sen seemed to be joking, and asked seriously: "I saw that she was very crazy and funny when she was in college, every time I watched her perform, she was a stupid big sister, very lively, why does she seem to have a different person now......"

I was silent for a while, looked at the intersection, and said, "She's coming, you have to ask her about it yourself, but sometimes why don't you ask yourself which one you like her, why you were able to let her play music in college, but now she can't......"

Qu Sen followed me to look at the intersection, he didn't speak again, but his expression was full of complexity, it seemed that Shen Lin also gave him a lot of helplessness that could not be changed, and in the face of these helplessness, all he could do was complain.

Shen Lin stopped the brand-new motorcycle, took off his helmet, and came to me and Qu Sen with an electric guitar, jumped over Qu Sen, and asked me directly, "Are all the people here?" ”
