A year later......

Nanjing, on the shore of Xuanwu Lake......

Around half past two in the afternoon......

I sat in the spacious and bright office, looking at the new store plan in front of me, although it is still a continuation of the successful model of the old store, every link is very rigorous, and it seems that I can't find anything wrong, but I always feel that something is missing, and for a while, I can't tell what is missing, and I feel a trace of inexplicable irritability in my heart.

I suddenly closed the file, got up, walked to the bar, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with some distraction, "poof", pulled the pull ring, put the opening like a jade pendant to my lips, tilted my neck, felt the cold beer, gurgling from the mouth slowly into the stomach, suddenly, the trace of inexplicable irritability gradually subsided, I felt that the scenery in front of me became clear and pleasant.

The Xuanwu Lake outside the window is blown by the breeze, from time to time there are circles of fine ripples, the sun is shining as if it is not like the world, gently sprinkled on the lake, the whole lake surface is sparkling, those small reflections, refracted into my eyes, become more dazzling, I can't help but squint my eyes slightly, along the lake, slowly move my eyes to the distance.

The front square of the train station, is still so prosperous, crowded, every time I stand in front of the window, I always inadvertently look at the front square of the train station, in my mind will always clearly emerge, last year and Qianqian and Du Yan just got off the train when the scene, I was standing there, jokingly said that Du Yan's rock word, not the most beautiful granite on the mountain, but a stone in the stinky ditch, when she angrily waved her sharp nails to chase me, Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled extremely cute in front of me, Every time I think about it, I always smile.

At this time, a black Mercedes-Benz happened to pass by, my heart suddenly twitched, the smile gradually disappeared, and in my mind, a plane was crashing into the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, and then the flames broke out, in the raging flames, a familiar figure was waving to me, and I seemed to hear him calling me: Brother Su.

I can't help but say a name, a name that makes my heart ache every time I mention it - Ah Hao!

Since Ah Hao's departure, I have never been in a Mercedes Benz, not because I feel uncomfortable, but every time I sit in my heart is always very heavy, I always think of Ah Hao inadvertently, and I have not even been to Shanghai for a year, although a new monumental building next to the Jin Mao Tower was built using my design plan, and that plan was the first prize I won when I participated in the design competition a year ago, and there was no award ceremony due to my absence, because I was in a hidden clubhouse at that time, life is at stake.

Just as I was falling into a sad memory, there was a knock on the door behind me, I calmed down, quickly returned to my desk, quickly sat down in my chair, threw the beer into the trash, rubbed my face vigorously with both hands, felt that the expression should not be so melancholy, tried to smile a little, and then said to the door, "Come in." ”。

The door was gently pushed open, and a young woman in professional clothes walked in, her appearance was a little delicate, and there were a few copies of Yang Wanjun's ability, at first glance, she was a talented professional strong woman, but because she was born beautiful, and not as strong as an ordinary strong woman, but made people feel very close, she held a few documents in her arms, turned around and closed the door gently, walked towards me with elegant steps, and said when she walked to my desk about a meter: "Su Dong, there are a few documents that are in a hurry, and you need to confirm." There are a few places in the document that I think are inappropriate, and some changes have been made, you can take a look, and if there is no objection, I will sign a contract with the other party. ”

I took the document, didn't read it, turned directly to the last page, quickly signed, and said with a hint of blame while writing: "Xiaoya, didn't you say it, just call me Brother Su like a shadow, don't take a bite of Su Dong in the future." ”

"Su ...... Mr. Su, don't you look at the contents of the document again? Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, changed her name and said.

"You...... I've convinced you, is it so difficult to call Brother Su? You've been here for almost two months, haven't you? It's not Mr. Su or Su Dong, I'm more casual, casual, and don't pay attention to those red tape, if you don't call it again, I will notify the Guoyin Merchant Service Center to recall you back as an instructor! I feigned seriousness.

"Don't, Su ...... Brother Su, can't I change it in the future? When Xiaoya heard that she wanted to go back to the secret national hidden merchant customer service center that she couldn't see outsiders all day long, her expression changed, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, but she also knew that I was scaring her, so she stuck out her tongue mischievously and pretended to be aggrieved and said to me.

Since Xiaoya two months ago, when she came to me to report after completing the retirement procedures, everyone liked this girl very much, her mind was extremely smart, and she was meticulous in her work, perhaps because she worked in the customer service center of the lifeless and depressed Guoyin businessman all day long, and was extremely fascinated by my relaxed and lively, warm office environment, although the customer service center said that she was invited back to serve as an instructor in the customer service center with a high salary, she still politely declined, so every time I used this to threaten her, every time it was very effective.

It stands to reason that with her ability, I want her to be the vice president, in charge of network development business, but she has to start from the grassroots level, and become my secretary, I don't want to be overused, but every time I propose her to be the vice president, she insists on talking about it later, and I will leave it to her, however, I do not treat her as a general secretary, but try to give her the greatest power, so as to give her the greatest potential.

"By the way, I won't read the documents, you can boldly deal with this kind of documents in the future, I won't confirm it anymore, just let it go, is there anything else?" After signing the few documents she said, I inadvertently looked up and saw that she seemed to be about to speak, so I asked curiously.

"That, Brother Su, just now the secretary of the mayor of Shanghai called again, next Monday is the opening day of the memorial hall you designed, I hope you can go in person, in addition to making up for the award ceremony, there is also the big screen on the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the opportunity to promote yourself will also be made up for you, in addition, Vice Premier Li will also attend the opening ceremony, I know that you have been avoiding going to Shanghai this year, every time you send Mr. Yang to go, this time the other party represents the Shanghai Municipal Government and the people, I really hope you can be there, You finally turned the tide in the secret clubhouse, successfully defused the conspiracy, and prevented many innocent people in Shanghai from losing their lives, and everyone wanted to meet you and listen to you say a few words. Xiaoya looked at me expectantly and said, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes when she mentioned the secret clubhouse, which seemed to remind her of very sad memories.

Listening to Xiaoya mention that next Monday is the opening day of the memorial hall I designed, I know that the most difficult day to face is still here, this year, since I escaped from that secret club, I only lay in the hospital for half a month, and then quietly returned to Nanjing, and I have never been to Shanghai again, because Shanghai has left me too many sad memories, especially the bizarre things that happened in the clubhouse later, and the truth I know, every time I think of it, it will make me unbelievable, but more importantly, it makes me very heartbroken, and my heart hurts so much that it is difficult to breatheSo, I chose to escape.

Whenever I am alone in the office, I often feel inexplicably irritable, only the anesthesia of alcohol can make me feel better, but I also don't want the people around me to worry, so when facing them, I always try to wear a smiling face to cover up the sadness in my heart, and the secret that no one knows, it is an indescribable sadness, so sad that I even feel heartbroken, but I don't know who to say it to, not even the most beloved person, at least not for the time being, because I still need a suitable time, And when this time will come, I don't know, everything has to be patient, but this kind of waiting is the most painful, sometimes the torment makes me crazy.

So every time Shanghai invited me over, I always appointed Yang Wanjun to help me go on the grounds of physical discomfort, after all, Yang Wanjun had been a personal guard for well-known dignitaries, participated in many large-scale social occasions, and was also experienced in dealing with these things, as for Yang Wanjun could not handle, such as during the construction of the memorial hall, when I needed to go to the site to deal with professional problems such as design changes, I also solved them through video calls.

But it's not appropriate not to go this time, and I suddenly understand that dodging is not a way, many things have to be faced after all, every time I think of what Qianqian said to me in the club, I think that even if the road ahead is bumpy, there are people who care so much about me and who are worthy of my cherishing for a lifetime, and I will definitely be able to finally come to the end happily, not to mention Vice Premier Li is also coming, I also want to meet him, he was still a secretary in the secret club, and he also risked his life to cooperate with me to finally resolve the shocking conspiracy, I know he has a lot of questions for me, and it's time for me to give him an answer.

So, I asked Xiaoya to reply to the mayor's secretary, I will attend that day, Xiaoya saw that I finally got out of the knot, but also with a smile, very excited to go out for me to arrange everything to Shanghai, looking at Xiaoya's happy expression, I realized that in fact, the second brother, Shadow, Qianqian They already knew that I had been secretly sad, but tried not to mention it in front of me, although I thought I covered it up very well, this year is really difficult for them.

Since the clubhouse incident was completely resolved, this year, in order to avoid retaliation, there are always bodyguards around me to protect me, but because no one has ever attacked me and the people around me, so everyone has been lax recently, presumably those evil forces have been wiped out in the large-scale explosion of the club, and I should live like a normal person, completely get out of the shadow of losing my friends, and go out for a walk.

I looked at the calendar, today is Friday, Qianqian, who is a graduate student at Nanjing University, will come back today, she usually comes back to live on Saturdays and Sundays, and then goes back to school on Monday, usually living in the dormitory, so, I want to give Qianqian an unexpected surprise, so I called Xia Yu to prepare the car, and will send me to Nanjing University to pick up Qianqian, just after I called Xia Yu, when I was about to go out, the office phone rang, I picked it up casually, it was a strange man's voice, when I heard the other party mention Zhao Xuanshen three words, I threw down the phone, He rushed out of the office......
