34. Staggered intersections, choose to fall
Several people were discussing in Liang Yuanjian's group, and Fan Yue was cooking after work, and there were dozens of unread articles.
After she crossed the mountains and passed through the emojis that were blocking the way, she finally found a useful piece of information from @her in the cracks.
Immediately afterwards, I found that not only did I not have the right to refuse, but I was also deprived of the right to choose.
[@樊月小樊, have you heard of the Shanghai Lane Restaurant? You've just come to a home to give you a taste of authentic local cuisine. 】
[I'll set the box first, their hotel is not easy to decide. 】
What else can be said? I had to agree.
I wanted to ask my roommate, but the carillon had been in the bedroom for the past two days, and the only thing that confirmed her was that she was still alive was the occasional sound of water coming from her bathroom.
Fan Yue checked it on the Internet, it is a petty bourgeois restaurant derived from a time-honored classic, and the environment is more in line with the aesthetics of young people.
Coupled with the word petty bourgeoisie, the price is naturally expensive.
Although Qiao Yanhua said it very well on his birthday, Fan Yue could get off work early this week.
She no longer expects punctuality, as long as she works no more than 1 hour of overtime, she is content.
When she arrived at the Shanghai Lane Restaurant in Zhongsheng Plaza, located on the edge of the Pujiang River, the yellow lights in the store were bright and warm, and the modern Chinese style was chic.
The black-and-white photographs of yellowed letter paper used for decoration on the wall seem to walk through a long corridor of historical history, giving people the illusion of dreaming of returning to the Republic of China.
When entering the box, Zhou Zheng's people arrived, Liang Yuan, You Jia, Wu Hao and Zhou Mo.
Zhongsheng Plaza, where the Shanghai Lane restaurant is located, is not far from the financial district, and she hurried to it after work, and when she sat next to You Jia, she was covered with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Zhou Mo saw her take out a pack of tissues from her commuter bag and gently pat her little face.
I've learned to carry tissues with memories.
Seeing that there were still two empty seats on the table, she thought to herself that the other two girls had not arrived at the law firm before, so she casually asked and learned that it was not reserved for them.
"Sister Shan went on maternity leave to give birth, Xiao Ran's family didn't let her stay in Shanghai, and dragged people back to their hometown to take the civil service exam, saying that the system is stable. Fortunately, my parents were open-minded and supported me to stay in Shanghai to work my own self-reliance. You Jia hadn't seen her for a long time, gave her a big hug, held her hand and sighed, and then looked at the two bosses, "Zhou Lu Zhuolu, you can see my hard work, remember to raise your salary at the end of the year." ”
Fan Yue listened to the jokes between their colleagues, and sighed in her heart about the difficulty of the two girls who were not present.
Sister Shan, who was on maternity leave, was okay, but Xiao Ran, who was forced by her family to go back to her hometown to take the civil service exam, reminded her of her sister Fan Xing's graduation that year, and her parents also persuaded her to go back to Nancheng to take the civil service exam and live a more stable life.
Fan Yue and Fan Xing are six years apart, and they have been in the same school since they were young, but there is no year when they both attend the same school.
Fan Yue seems to have been unable to catch up with her sister's pace, she went to elementary school, and her sister entered the junior high school of Nancheng No. 5 Middle School. When she went to junior high school, Fan Xing had graduated from high school and went to other cities.
Later, except for the New Year's holidays, the intersection between the two became less and less, as if they were relatives, and she was not close to her eldest cousin.
For the two sisters, neither of them was materially disadvantaged. Fan Xing's personality is more rebellious, so the strict discipline is put on Fan Yue, and he is more indulgent to his sister.
With the increase of age, people gradually perceive the warmth and coldness of the world, Fan Yue thinks back, but she can feel her mother's preference for her, and the expression of wanting to stop talking when she mentions her sister.
It wasn't until someone at the table called her that she took back her God.
"Xiao Fan, what are you eating?"
Fan Yue blinked, "It's all right, just one or two dishes that aren't spicy." ”
"This dish is not spicy." The man who had not spoken all this time closed the menu and said a sentence without being salty.
Sitting opposite, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, the menu fell on the wooden turntable, Zhou Mo's fingers lightly forced, and the menu stopped in front of her accurately.
*
After ordering the food, Fan Yue looked at the two empty seats on the table next to her that there were still tableware, and then remembered to ask again, "So someone else wants to come?" ”
Immediately after that, the door of the box was pushed open by the waiter who led the seat, and if Ren Yao, who was the first to come in, was a passerby who had long been wiped out in her mind.
The person who followed her into the box was the "passerby" she wanted to erase in her mind the most.
Unexpectedly bumped into the sight, Fan Yue felt that the blood in his body instantly coagulated, and even his breathing gradually weakened.
Ren Yao held the person who came in with him, who was the "dead scum" in Jason's mouth, Su Jingyu.
"Brother Xiao Zhou!" The first thing she saw at the entrance was Fan Yue, Ren Yao still didn't look for the person in her mouth at first, "Brother Xiaoliang!" Little Angkor! Long time no see! ”
The set almost then crossed Fan Yue, greeted You Jia, and finally gave the girl who saw it at first sight a hug, "Sister Yuebao, are you also coming to Shanghai?" ”
Hugs make a difference.
The big bear hug that friends meet, the ceremonial light hug, and Ren Yao's fake ring with his arms hanging in the air.
After greeting someone, he was not in a hurry to sit down, returned to his male partner and took his hand, "Let me introduce to you, my boyfriend Su Jingyu." ”
Fan Yue was a little despised for her suffocation, why bother. Obviously, I couldn't see ripples in his heart.
Ren Yao didn't think about sitting down next to Liang Yuan.
Su Jingyu sat down beside him, and naturally said familiarly, "Fan Yue, why don't you say anything when you come to Shanghai?" ”
I could feel the muscles of my whole body stiffen to the extreme, and the dissipation of my senses made Fan Yue directly ignore the gaze from Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo's memory is not up to the ear, but he remembers the conversation he listened to in the corner of the wall that night in 1955.
[So you met the scum in Lhasa? 】
[I'm going, so old? 】
[More scum than the dead scum of the crucian carp? ] 】
Coupled with the very unnatural reaction on the girl's face, Su Jingyu could be seated without using her brain.
*
The crucian carp sat beside him, and Fan Yue didn't even have a chance to take out her mobile phone and complain to her girlfriend.
Su Jingyu smiled and said, "I haven't seen much since I graduated, right?" The last time I saw you was when I went back to school to attend the Dahua graduation ceremony, and we were still cheering when you went on stage to get your diploma. ”
"Oh yes? Thank you. Fan Yuehui's politeness was unfamiliar.
"Sister Yuebao, you and Brother Jingyu actually know each other? We're so close, we're traveling together, and we're friends! ”
Ren Yao leaned over through Su Jingyu, her expression was vivid and cute.
Fan Yue swallowed, copied and pasted, and replied in the same tone, "That's right! I also think, how can it be so coincidental! ”
Others looked at the two young girls who had never seen the world in shock, but the secret competition under the surface floated faintly in the air around them, and the expression of laughter was unbearable.
After speaking, Fan Yue felt contrived.
Su Jingyu patted Ren Yao's head dotingly, "It's a coincidence, Yaoyao told me before she came to meet you in Lhasa last year." ”
Oh, now that they all know, why did Ren Yao still look like he just knew after chatting for a few words.
is still Yaoyao, the affection of the two shows made Fan Yue endure it several times and wanted to her mobile phone and complain to others. If Jason had known that she could sit and eat next to the crucian carp so calmly, he would have scolded her to death.
At the first glance of Fan Yue, Su Jingyu felt that she was different from before. is still a sweet and innocent face, but the whole person has lost a lot of weight and lost baby fat, and looks inexplicably bright.
"I just noticed that Fan Yue, you have changed a lot, and you look better than before." Su Jingyu praised with a smile, and Ren Yao curled her fingers unnaturally when she heard this.
Su Jingyu's greatness lies in the fact that he is a scumbag, but the gentleness of the scum makes the young Fan Yue fall in love.
took Fan Yue, who was in love for the first time, to death, even when he knew that he was flirting with several girls at the same time, he was still full of joy and hope every time the other party looked for him.
For this reason, Jason doesn't even know how many phones he broke her. If it weren't for him and Zhao Jiaxi knowing her urine sex and trying their best to stop her, she couldn't help but send text messages to people on many drunk nights, surrendered and disarmed, and was willing to fall deeper and deeper in the swamp of emotional wounds.
At that time, Su Jingyu was a little green among the thousands of flowers, outstanding and shining.
Back then, Fan Yue wanted to be the reddest point in ten thousand flowers, but she was ordinary and ordinary.
But she also thanked Su Jingyu, because after this, Fan Yue learned the truth that body and mind need to be separated.
*
After serving the food, everyone recalled a bit of the West. Tibetan Tour.
The reason why Ren Yao was rejected by Zhou Mo in Lhasa, Liang Yuan called and was willing to come to this party, was to use the company of Su Jingyu, who she thought was very good, to support herself in the scene, and to raise her eyebrows in front of Zhou Mo with the attitude of "Thank you for not marrying, I have found a better belonging".
By the way, I want to know if he and Fan Yue have become. But looking at the current appearance, the two seem to be sitting far away.
This couldn't help but make Ren Yao satisfied, and behaved as if he mentioned it casually, "Brother Xiao Zhou was in the West at the time. Zang can take care of Sister Yuebao, the night of the separation in Lhasa, I wanted him to rest early and said that I could send Sister Yuebao to the taxi for him, but Brother Xiao Zhou didn't let him, saying that he was reluctant to let his sister stay with people for a while. Are you together? ”
"......" The originally lively dinner table, as soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly fell to the freezing point.
Fan Yue's embarrassed scalp was numb, and then the roots of her ears were red.
Several of Zhou Zheng's people also discussed this matter, but no one dared to verify with Zhou Mo, and they just gossiped in private.
I don't know if Ren Yao is innocent or if she lacks a root in her brain, she just asked for them now.
After asking, his expression was innocent and curious, looking forward to the answers of the two.
Su Jingyu glanced sideways at Fan Yue, who was hanging her head beside her, and then looked at the person on the other side of the table who was called "Brother Xiao Zhou".
Compared with Fan Yue, who had a stiff expression, he and the man who hadn't answered since Ren Yao entered the table, his face did not change and his expression was calm.
Zhou Mo put down the chopsticks in his hand, made a small but crisp sound on the ceramic plate, and smiled casually, "Ren Yao, I remember saying last year, this has nothing to do with you." ”
The smile on the corner of his mouth was very faint, and he didn't deny or affirm it.
Ren Yao opened her mouth, and a breath of anger returned to her stomach, suffocating to death. Seeing this, Su Jingyu hurriedly came out to play the round.
"Haha, that, where does Fan Yue work now?"
"Banks."
Ren Yao seized the opportunity to divert the topic and said, "The bank is pretty good, which bank is it?" When the time comes, I'll go to your counter to open an account and make an investment, and give you a rise in performance. ”
"I don't sit at the counter and I don't touch customers." Fan Yue added lightly, "Moreover, there are many positions in the bank in addition to the counter. ”
was more and more displeased again, and in the impression that Fan Yue was very easy to speak, Ren Yao complained coquettishly, "That Sister Yuebao, I am not a businessman, although my aunt is the president of a bank branch, but she has never told me about the internal structure of the bank......
The last unnecessary, pretending to be careless and deliberately showing off.
Ren Yao's expression was innocent, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise proudly, Fan Yue smiled, "Really?" Then you can ask your aunt for advice. ”
Fan Yue's group is responsible for the enterprise and customers with assets of hundreds of millions, although it does not mean that employees are superior to others, but when people themselves do not have the capital to show off, they like to borrow identity titles to satisfy themselves.
Her team members are, and so is Ren Yao, who shows off that her aunt is the president.
Su Jingyu, "Which bank are you in?" I am now in Jingshi Capital, I have interned in the private bank of Huixin before, the salary is much better than other departments, I have a good relationship with the supervisor and I am still in contact, I can recommend you to go to his department. ”
"I'm in Huixin Private Travel."
Su Jingyu, "......"
Fan Yue then propped her chin and turned to Su Jingyu, whose face was gradually embarrassed, "Don't bother seniors." ”
This topic naturally couldn't go on, Su Jingyu wanted to relieve Ren Yao, but he didn't want to burn himself, so he secretly glanced at Fan Yue and stopped answering, and asked about the legal scope involved by Zhou Zheng and several people present.
Liang Yuandao, "Several of us mainly follow Zhou Law to do international trade, but our lawyers are involved in all aspects. ”
"So? Then I can inquire which law firm Jingshi is doing now, and maybe I can recommend you. ”
"Jingshi is our customer."
Su Jingyu, "......"
The person on the other side lazily answered, "The trust of Mr. Jingshi Xiaoji and the testament of Mr. Zhongshi Ji were all made by Zhou Zheng. ”
Fan Yueshi looked at Jing Yu, who was blue and white with a change of pigment on her face, and was refreshed.
*
In the end, I thought that Ren Yao and Su Jingyu couldn't hold their faces, so they left early and ended up in embarrassment.
Seeing the two leaving, Fan Yue got up and went to the bathroom.
Before closing the door, I heard Ren Yao and her best friend complaining on the phone from the next room, "...... I now suspect that Su Jingyu is not very good, he talks big all night and wants to show off in front of people, introducing jobs and recommending people, but people don't even pay attention to him...... Why bother, you ask? Su Jingyu is a small analyst in Jingshi, and he is ashamed to say that he wants to match people with law firms to be Jingshi's lawyer, but Zhou Zheng is Jingshi's lawyer......"
Fan Yue didn't hear what to say later, Ren Yao left after washing her hands.
The group of girlfriends learned that she had met Su crucian carp and began to riot.
Jason: "Sister, where are you?" I immediately drove Xiaofa over and poured sulfuric acid on him! 】
Zhao Jiaxi: [Add me a bucket!] 】
Jason: [Fan Yueyue, I'm serious, where are you? I'm going to come over and kill Su Scum! 】
Fan Yue: [I'm in the bathroom. 】
Fan Yue: [I'm fine. The old scumbag has already verbally attacked him on my behalf. 】
Zhao Jiaxi: [??? The old scumbag is also there? What's the plot? 】
Jason; [The dispute between the former gunners and the ex-gunners to take their wives? 】
Fan Yue: [...... Get lost. 】
Coming out of the bathroom, Fan Yue was about to go to the front desk to buy the order, and saw that Zhou Mo would take the card and receipt from the waiter and put them in the wallet of the G family.
"Huh? Didn't you say I'm in for a treat? ”
The man ignored it, directly grabbed her shoulder and turned the direction for the person, pushed the person back, and continued to walk in the direction of the box, "You are still on probation in Huixin, right?" ”
Fan Yue nodded, "Yes." ”
"Your little internship salary, keep it for yourself to eat, drink, buy and buy bags."
Fan Yue sighed, "Look down on the employees who are not capable of Huixin......"
"Huh?" Zhou Mo didn't react for a while, she was still haunted by what he said at the meeting.
By the time he reacted, Fan Yue had already entered the box and returned to his seat.
"Xiaofan, you didn't pay, did you? I said before that I would let you have a treat and have fun. Liang Yuan saw her and Zhou Mo coming back together, and hurriedly asked.
Fan Yue smiled well-behaved, "No, I was quickly preempted by Boss Zhou." Thank you again. ”
*
Everyone was on the first floor of Zhongsheng Plaza, and Wu Hao drove the car to send Liang Yuan Youjia, so he asked where Fan Yue lived by the way.
"If you don't stop by the way, I'll send her back. Let's go back and come to the office early tomorrow. ”
Fan Yue's refusal words have been thought of, why haven't you been shopping for a long time and plan to go shopping in Zhongsheng, but the speed of her mouth can't catch up with Zhou Mo.
Zhou Zheng and the three of them were also very discerning, and left quickly. They looked at each other while walking, holding back their smiles and restraining their excitement of eating melons.
"Uh......" Fan Yue organized her words, "Boss Zhou doesn't need to avoid suspicion?" ”
"What do you want to avoid?" The man picked up quickly.
He was right, and the two of them didn't do anything shady.
The car was lined up in the underground parking garage to leave the garage, and seeing that she didn't pick up the stubble, Zhou Mo coughed lightly, "It's very powerful, I can work in Huixin." ”
"Really?" Fan Yue smiled and quipped, "I originally thought the same, but when I had a meeting that day, you and your partner said that it was worthless, and I was a little skeptical about life." ”
Zhou Mo tilted his head, "Work needs, what I said casually, I didn't say it to you." ”
Fan Yue shrugged her shoulders and looked out the window at the endless flow of traffic, flashing neon lights in front of her, and the scenery outside the window merged into a memory of the situation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the picture in her mind.
"Oh yes," she came back to her senses, "that postcard on Mount Everest back then, you mysteriously didn't let me see it for a long time...... Didn't even write anything? ”
"I wrote my name and address." Zhou Mo answered as a matter of course.
Fan Yue, "......"
Zhou Mo snorted lightly, "Or are you looking forward to me writing something?" ”
The tone is teasing, but the voice is very deep, rippling in the ears like an evening breeze. She didn't know how he did it, but Fan Yue felt as if her heartbeat had missed a beat.
This suffocation of the heart did not bring about slow breathing.
Mei Ben coupe stopped under the apartment building, Zhou Mo took his hand off the steering wheel, unbuckled his seat belt, looked at her sideways, and did not speak.
Fan Yue hesitated for a moment, looked at the owner in his sight, and smiled, "What?" ”
Zhou Mo's deep eyes were slightly closed, and his eyes were covered with strange and familiar emotions, "What are you hiding?" ”
The voice fell, and the body leaned towards her a little, the previous smell of mint seemed to be overturned, and it was overwhelmingly rushed into the nasal cavity, Fan Yue was a little stiff for a while.
She knew what the man was hinting at, and she acquiesced to him sending her home, whether she was subconsciously expecting something.
It's just that this is not Lhasa, without that layer of hazy filters, everything becomes realistic and lacks the beauty of encounters, and people have less courage to indulge.
"No hiding......" The last word of hiding was not clear, and I don't know when I was approached by the car door, and there was no way back.
The man approached again, one hand propped up on the back of her car seat, his face slightly on the side.
"Are you sure ......" At the same time as the three words came out, Zhou Mo stopped at a distance that she could reach as long as she raised her head, and her warm breath was all sprinkled between her ears and neck. Staring straight ahead, "Don't you want it?" ”
It's too close, and the oppression that sweeps through the sky doesn't give people a chance to dodge and escape.
In those eyes as deep as an ancient well, only people are lost and indulged, Fan Yue raised her head slightly, and chose to fall again at the staggered intersection of a blurry trance.
