CHAPTER XXIII
"Mr. Yin."
At five o'clock, the sound of music after work sounded melodiously. Tang Zheya smiled and hung up the phone for Yin Boran.
"Miss Tang?" Yin Boran looked at the big birthday candle drawn today on the schedule with a headache, constantly holding the pen, flipping it up and down, left and right.
Tang Zheya's voice was energetic and brisk, and she smiled on the phone, "Mr. Yin, I'm sorry, I have a friend here today, I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you." ”
"Oh, yes, okay then, I'll take a day off today." He let go of his eyebrows, the pen flexed between his fingers, returned to its place, pursed his lips and smiled upward, drawing a tick on the candle.
"Oh, by the way, I want to add one more person to our planning team, this, we'll discuss it tomorrow." After she bought a pass, she hung up the phone happily.
Bill's arrival really made her feel a little relied on, and she was really about to lose her time after months of hard work and fighting alone.
Yin Boran smiled as I liked, picked up the key, and ran to the hospital.
"Hey, Mr. Bamboo."
"Yes, Mr. Yi." The voice of Zhu Yongxin, the owner of the bamboo garden, with a little regret, came.
"I'd like to inform you that the evening banquet can be held as usual."
"Okay, no problem, I'll let them prepare right away, it's just that the guest 。。。。。" He was a little embarrassed, this was his last day in charge of Bamboo Garden.
"It doesn't matter, the guests are all kept, and all the consumption is paid by me, and there are more people." He easily dispelled his doubts.
"Oh, thank you so much." Takenaga bent down unconsciously.
"I have a little request."
"Please command." He was calm.
"Please strictly control the gates, and do not allow any reporters to enter, if something goes wrong, this sale and purchase will not be over." He said in a low voice, and for the first time, a vague sense of frustration welled up.
※
Haotian Hotel, completely based on British architecture and business style, Linchuan is a completely open metropolis, and the outside world exchanges and exchanges, very frequent and close, in this city that accommodates hundreds of rivers, everything, all appear leisurely, unique, rich.
When she arrived in Haotian, it was exactly seven o'clock, and I didn't want to, Bill's big mouth had already been propagated, and at this time, in the conference room, the lights were bright, and the employees with positions were sitting in unison, waiting for her arrival.
She originally just wanted to come and pick up Bill and run to the bamboo garden, after all, it would take an hour on the road, and tomorrow would be Bill's first day of work, and she didn't want him to be too tired.
She looked down at her casual attire, out of place with everyone else, and couldn't help but raise an accusatory eyebrow at Bill, who sat there with a big prick on his chest and an indifferent face.
The etiquette work of the hotel is very in place and rigorous, which is also the basis for Tang Zheya's thoughtfulness and proper display of her elegance and maturity, and everything will have a process of honing.
Led by Wu Peng, he first gave a neat and warm applause.
She had to change her loose style in Kairan and return to her previous appearance.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry, but I'm not here to meet you officially, so..." She smiled, spread her hands, and looked down at her clothes.
Everyone smiled and nodded in understanding.
"Manager Wu, all the celebration banquets of Kairan will be held in Haotian at that time, and we will have a lot of opportunities."
"Bill." She looked up and smiled.
Bill reluctantly got up and went to the main seat to stand side by side with her.
"I believe that Manager Wu has already told you that Bill will take over my hand, and this time I will intern in Linchuan Haotian for a while, I regret that I have not been able to cooperate with you because of my family's affairs, but I believe that Bill will do better for me in the future work." She gently grabbed Bill's arm, smiled trustingly at him, and then looked at the crew with a smile on her face.
Everyone quickly accepted this amiable young leader, and her clean face carried great trust in everyone, which made this originally serious and nervous reception harmonious at once, and they all stood up and clapped their hands, Bill shook hands with them gratefully under Tang Zheya's signal, and kept chilling.
Tang Zheya glanced at Wu Peng's envoy, stepped aside, and beckoned him, "Manager Wu, Bill has rarely taken over Haotian affairs in the school in the past two years, these few days, you have to familiarize him with it as soon as possible, you know, it is impossible for me to intervene in Haotian anymore." ”
Wu Peng could see the sadness in the depths of her eyes, as if occasionally the media captured her sometimes confused appearance, she was so real in front of her.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, Haotian won't let you have any worries, I haven't had a chance to tell you that Tang Dong called me soon after you took over Kairan, asking me to fully cooperate with you, if you have any needs, please tell me." He was righteous.
She smiled, her eyes flowed, she sincerely stretched out her hand to shake with him, calmly exerted her strength with each other, there was no need to say more, even though life was full of frustration and helplessness, but there were always some, so that her suffocating heart was moved and full from time to time.
※
"Bill, Haotian has always developed steadily, and I believe it will not be difficult for you to intervene." Tang Zheya drove cautiously at night, occasionally glancing at him shaking his legs and playing with electric toys.
Bill cursed, threw the unknown small screen to the back seat with his backhand, crossed his hands behind his head, and looked at Tang Zheya's side seriously.
"Lianxin, I think you're too nervous."
Tang Zheya smiled unnaturally. "Really?"
"Well, that would affect your judgment, you should relax, relax, you know?" Bill drew a hand and gestured, his thick wrist moving like a snake.
Tang Zheya chuckled.
"Okay, okay, let's have a good meal today, don't talk about work, I promise you, after eating this meal, you will feel refreshed and fatigue swept away."
Since she came to Yin Boran once, she herself sometimes drove when she was too tired, and with Yin Boran's greeting, Junzi Pavilion, she could always book a seat, no matter how early or late, it seemed that the small compartment had been empty, waiting for her.
"Oh, there's a place like this?" Bill sat up straight, leaned forward, and stared hard at the windshield.
"Bamboo forest wind... Bamboo forest wind. Tang Zheya hummed softly, imagining the comfortable feeling that night.
When they arrived, she saw that the normally quiet bamboo garden was brightly lit and bustling, and she glanced at Bill rather disappointed and shrugged.
"Oh, Lianxin, I like to be lively." Unimpressed, Bill hugged her in.
"I'm sorry." The waiter stopped them.
"I'm sorry, sir, miss, all the guests who come in tonight must be checked."
"Check what?" Tang Zheya was stunned.
"Today is a very private event to celebrate the birthday of our new boss, if you are journalists, please come back another day." The waiter was respectful and very polite.
"It's okay, please check." Tang Zheya shook her hand senselessly, but she was still very sorry in her heart, and she didn't know if the style here would be the same if she changed to a new boss.
Bill stared closely at the waiter's movements, if she was a man, I am afraid that he would have been punched out of the clouds by him.
Tang Zheya patted her body and watched the waiter turn around and check Bill with a red face, she shook her head, if she was the boss here, she really didn't want reporters to enter, so she wouldn't dare to send such a person to check at the door.
Bill shook his body and hugged Tang Zheya in with a displeased face, this meal, before he ate, he was extremely nervous, how could he be refreshed?
"Oh, Bill, trust me." Tang Zheya said with a smile.
When she arrived at the front desk, the young lady was already familiar with her and hurriedly greeted her.
"Miss Tang, I'm very sorry, our new boss of Junzi Pavilion has already booked, I'm very sorry."
"It's okay, longevity is great, then help us stay next door."
"Okay, thank you Miss Tang, by the way, Miss Tang, after dinner, we will have a dance party in the bamboo forest, I hope you will come to participate, and the whole consumption today is all free, I wish you a happy meal."
※
Tonight's gentleman's pavilion is warm and romantic, although the space is not large, but there are big stars and the moon hanging on the bamboo beam, the colorful butterflies are accompanied by it, the black line hangs down, it is looming, the green and green glowing fireflies, the lights are all extinguished, only two big red candles are left in the table, flowing huge tears of joy.
The window is slightly open, the faint bamboo forest wind blows in, here is created to be pure and simple, lovely, innocent and romantic, Shen Tianling is full of tears, clenched his fist in his chest, his eyes are shining at everything in this small space, the huge stars are shining with a distant and mysterious light, the designer is quite attentive, she is wearing a white dress today, her hair is hanging softly, and a white bundle is tied with a ribbon in the middle, flowing down elegantly, the whole person, like a pure white fairy at night, in this silent space, In a space that is almost isolated from the real outside world, it seems so real and dreamy.
Even though the bamboo garden was bought by Yin Boran with a lot of money, it is not as romantic and unique as this house.
"Bai Ran, thank you." Afraid of touching and breaking this beautiful feeling, she whispered her touching in the soft firelight.
"As long as you like." Yin Boran smiled calmly, for a while, he felt that he owed her too much, and she, as expected, was gentle and well-behaved, and did not give him any worries.
He leaned over and was about to light the birthday candle when there was a thud at the staircase, he frowned, and then dialed the phone.
"Mr. Yi, it was Miss Tang and his friend who came upstairs, because she is your most honored guest, and she has designated the next door to the Junzi Pavilion." Zhu Yongxin explained, he thought that Yin Boran would not mind, in fact, if he knew that all the confidential work that Yin Boran had done was just to prevent Miss Tang from being killed today, he would not dare to answer like this.
"I see." He took the thread and leaned back into his chair.
Each other, the voices of Bill and Tang Zheya laughing, paused in the Junzi Pavilion, and then passed again, and the bamboo door next door creaked, opened and closed.
Isolated from everything lively outside, it seemed that the two small compartments were silent.
"What's wrong?"
Yin Boran raised his hand to stop her, muttered for a while, and then repeated the work in his hand, lighting the small candles one by one.
"Ling'er, let's have a quiet birthday, just the two of us."
Shen Tianling didn't know why, but he still nodded happily, leaned on the table with his fists and began to make a wish.
"Bill, this location is also good, you see, the bamboo forest outside is so lush, it feels so far-reaching, the wind from the depths of the bamboo forest, very comfortable, you come here."
And Tang Zheya and Bill of Zhiyuan Pavilion are much more relaxed in comparison, regardless of the lively birthday celebration outside.
"Oh, little lotus heart, you're here to relax?" Bill laughed and stood side by side by the window with Tang Zheya.
"Yes, Bill, this is better than anywhere, you know, bamboo, in our Chinese hearts, is proud, is very good, is quiet and far-reaching, is a symbol of purity, it can purify people's hearts." Tang Zheya smiled comfortably and accepted the baptism.
Bill seems to understand whether he understands or not, and it is a pity that in these aspects, he and Tang Zheya have an insurmountable difference.
"Oh, little Lianxin, I regret not growing up in China with you, because, I really didn't feel that it was as mysterious as you said." Bill furrowed his eyebrows.
Tang Zheya looked up at him, frowned very seriously and thought for a while, "Well, Bill, if it's early, let's go over there for a walk?" ”
“OK。” Bill clapped his hands and said quickly, this kind of realization, it was better to see the real thing, and at that time, his stomach was rumbling out of place.
The two looked at each other and laughed, and the knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Oh!" Bill screamed.
Yin Boran frowned over there, sighed, stroked the corners of his forehead, and apologized to Shen Tianling.
"Bai Ran, I think, they are a happy couple." Shen Tianling snuggled into Yin Boran's arms, and was envious of the strange sound coming from next door.
"Bill?" Tang Zheya stopped her chopsticks and questioned him.
"Lianxin, I didn't expect that I would be the first to see its corpse!!!" Bill was still screaming, holding his chopsticks and pointing only to the cut bamboo rice, which was obviously freshly sliced and scented with the fragrance.
The waiter covered his lips and smiled, bowed to them, and closed the door softly and thoughtfully to exit.
Shen Tianling burst out laughing here, although the warm romance they worked hard to create was destroyed by this lively and lovely couple, but in fact, this is not bad, right.
She is such a simple and easily satisfied person, Yin Boran looked at Shen Tianling who was smiling sweetly in his arms with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a faint peace and warmth crossed, lifted the hair hanging from her ears, and imprinted an affectionate kiss on her forehead, everything was silent.
"Oh, Bill, I know that I won't have a peaceful life as soon as you come, and now, you give me a good meal." Tang Zheya looked at Bill's funny, twisted face, although he didn't laugh and rolled back and forth, but he was so happy that he couldn't hold the chopsticks and trembled slightly.
Bill put down the tableware, suppressed his smile, held Tang Zheya's hands, and said affectionately and humorously, "Lianxin, now, do you think that I am actually more useful than those bamboos, and I can make you happy." ”
Tang Zheya tried her best to stop laughing, but she didn't break out her hands, she looked at Bill's eyes seriously, thought deeply, and then nodded cautiously. It's just the smile in her eyes, betraying her seriousness, these two people, as soon as they meet together, their hearts will beat happily, and they can't be serious and cautious.
"Oh, I knew you would always take my words as a joke." Bill withdrew his hand in frustration and let out a long sigh.
"Bill, promise me not to say this today." Tang Zheya handed him the fork.
"Xiaoya, my heart for you has never changed for ten years." Bill rarely called her by her real name, only when she was so badly needed.
She opened her mouth but was stunned, asking her to say what is good? said that she couldn't tolerate the second person in her heart for a long time, and said that she was only a relative and had no half of love? She shook her head, with Bill's sometimes persistence, she really couldn't take it.
"Habit, Bill, we're used to having each other in our lives." She said objectively that she expressed her deep gratitude for him silently staying by her side in the past few years, making her laugh and relaxing.
"Okay, I accept." Bill frowned and thought about it, reluctantly accepting the rhetoric.
Then the two ate silently, only to hear the sound of the cutlery colliding with each other.
Yin Boran raised his eyebrows, lotus heart? This foreign young man, obviously not knowing the profundity of Chinese characters, originally wanted to express her clear and beautiful like a lotus, thinking that she had added her heart and went to the next level, but she didn't think that the lotus heart turned out to be the most bitter. Lotus Heart, he repeated slightly, and smiled casually. It turns out that after thinking about it, the word lotus heart is indeed very suitable for her, although she does not have Shen Tianling's gentleness and cuteness, soft and sweet, but, her role, no one dares to erase it, is the medicine bitter, at least, her appearance, and lotus, is not much different. It's just that she is like this, and she always makes people lose the heart that is easy to fall in love with.
Thinking of this, he looked down at Shen Tianling, who was smiling brightly, but still looking forward to Shen Tianling, who surprised her next door.
"Ling'er, Ruruo, has two wishes, one is to have the supreme and unchanging love for a lifetime; First, a marriage that stays together for a lifetime and respects each other like ice; And what will you do if Heaven only allows you to give you one wish? He pulled her to her feet and approached the half-burned birthday candle.
Shen Tianling really opened his eyes wide, thinking with his heart, constantly weighing, she is this cute, so simple that it makes people feel pitiful, Yin Boran felt a burst of regret and pity in his heart, and the quiet next door, but Tang Zheya, who has a thick sense of existence, inexplicably made him frown, giving birth to a faint sense of escape and helplessness.
"Bai Ran, these two wishes are so cruel." Shen Tianling tugged at his chest and looked up at him helplessly, begging with nothing.
He grabbed her thin shoulders and looked at each other, but said unequivocally, "Life is so cruel." ”
Shen Tianlington's eyes were full of tears, like clear waves under the moon, hazy.
"I love you, and I need your love, or I will wither; But I don't want to leave you. She whimpered, and fell fragile into his arms.
"Okay, Ling'er, I'll tease you, come, *candle, otherwise the wish won't work." Yin Boran patted her gently, full of doting.
The light of the candle, like a flame in the cold wind, will be extinguished at some point, slender and uncertain, like catkins in the wind, which seems to also summon the fate of Shen Tianling. Yin Boran put his hands behind his head, at this time, the big candle flame had been extinguished, and the light in the room was even darker, so close that even the people sitting opposite each other couldn't see clearly, this decision that had been made a long time ago, when facing Shen Tianling, there were only more contradictions and regrets, it turned out that he was not thorough enough, this realization made him suddenly tired of it, and simply sat up straight.
"Bai Ran, if you have to choose, I want love, supreme, a lifetime of unchanging love." Shen Tianling suddenly opened her eyes and said seriously, yes, whether Yin Boran is joking or cautious, she will consider it carefully.
Ling'er, supreme, I can't guarantee it, but it will not change in my life, I can promise. In the face of the glimmer, he also leaned over, just like her, clenched his fists in silence, closed his eyes and silently made a promise.
Under their joint efforts, the candle was finally extinguished, with their wishes, temporarily disappeared, Takeyong's heart was in the console, relieved, this was much longer than the original program, pressed a button, the Junzi Pavilion suddenly lit up like fire, like day, reflecting the desktop with a large and a small two residual candles, unusually dazzling.
At the same time, the bamboo forest downstairs, and the courtyard of the entire bamboo garden, suddenly lively, a series of birthday celebrations finally opened when they blew out the last trace of wax fire, most of the doctors and nurses in Liubin Hospital came to see this romantic moment, the whole scene was pulled by them, extremely hot.
At this time, Bill and Tang Zheya's casual conversation was also interrupted by the excitement. Bill raised his eyebrows excitedly.
"Lianxin, it seems that the tranquility in the depths of the bamboo forest that you are looking forward to tonight is impossible to achieve."
Tang Zheya looked at Bill and pointed to the brightly lit and dressed bamboo forest and nodded regretfully.
She grew bored.
"Oh, Lianxin, I want to meet the new owner of this specialty restaurant, unlike you, I like the excitement here." Bill shrugged in disapproval, full of eagerness.
"Bill, did you bring gifts, the Chinese are very polite." Tang Zheya couldn't help but splash him with cold water.
Bill suddenly thought of something, clapped his hands and smiled, "What's so difficult about this, Lianxin, you must have prepared a gift for me, right?" ”
Tang Zheya smiled strangely, but happily took out a ceramic product, a string of chic strings, tied to two cute villains, the male is Bill, and the woman, although it is a Chinese woman, but it is by no means Tang Zheya's appearance, but it is also quite cute, why would you give Bill this gift, because Tang Zheya just arrived in the UK, was found by Bill These two glass bottles, he asked Tang Zheya to make one for them at that time, Tang Zheya thought that this can only be in China, and she can make it by herself, This promise made Bill wait for ten years, so this time he came to China, she took a break to Yue Ming's ceramic shop to pinch it.
Bill cheered and took it happily, frowning suddenly.
"Lianxin, why isn't she you?"
"Bill, there will always be this one about me." Tang Zheya took a deep breath, took out the car keys, and suddenly a crisp bell rang through the air.
Yin Boran was startled, and when his mind was neutral, the two porcelain dolls that were vivid but sad appeared.
"It's not fair!" Bill screamed, turned around and tried to throw the porcelain doll away.
"I'm not going to do any more, Bill." Tang Zheya's calm but unquestionable tone, some principles, for her, a lifetime, can not be broken.
The stubborn but pitiful expression on her face made Bill unbearable, he withdrew the movement of his hand, and thought about it, he had the best way to deal with it.
"Lianxin, I'll wait, it's, too!" Bill shook the small ceramic, and the small glass bottle suddenly rippled with water-blue ripples, which showed her good intentions.
※
"Mr. Yi, I have a friend of Miss Tang who said that he has a gift for Miss Shen." Zhu Yongxin dialed Yin Boran's phone.
Yin Boran looked up at the headlights of the ceiling and was silent for a while.
"Mr. Yi?"
"Turn off the lights."
"Huh?"
"Let him come next door, we don't want to bother him for too long."
"Yes, I know." Zhu Yongxin hung up the phone and immediately confirmed with Tang Zheya.
Bill smiled at Tang Zheya and got up
"Lianxin, why don't you go with you?"
Tang Zheya shook her head. She has never been a gossip lover, nor is she curious about such inconsequential things.
As soon as Bill entered the door, he was surprised by the darkness in this room, this Chinese likes to touch the dark on his birthday?
He rubbed his eyes and tried to call.
A small figure walked up to him, apparently fitting in better than he could.
"Hello, do you just want to give a birthday present to my guests?" Shen Tianling asked politely, and glanced at Yin Boran in the dark uneasily.
"Oh, that's right, beautiful young lady, although I can't see you, but your voice, your figure, are exactly the same as the Chinese princess I imagined." Bill still didn't change his oily and smooth style, so that Yin Boran twisted his eyebrows in secret, Tang Zheya's appreciation taste is really different from the others, and he, who can sit here freely, has already guessed that it must be Bill alone, she always has her own persistence and pride, just like the green bamboo she told in her mouth, cold, a little lonely and self-appreciative.
"Thank you for the compliment." Shen Tianling said lightly. Salute her.
Bill pursed his lips, he had always liked to be lively, and he was tired of the darkness from the beginning, and he immediately took out his present.
"This is a little potter hand-pinched by a friend of mine, and I will give it to you as a meeting gift, I wish you a happy birthday and always beautiful, my princess." He gentlemanly picked up her hand, printed a polite kiss, turned casually, and closed the door for them.
Shen Tianling took the little porcelain figure, turned around and smiled at Yin Boran, "He is really very cute." ”
Then, Bill, who couldn't stand the loneliness, pulled Tang Zheya and went to the bamboo forest to join in the fun, everyone danced, and when they arrived, the madness was over, and the elegant melody of the second half was entered.
Bill shrugged his shoulders and bent down 90 degrees to stretch out his hand to Tang Zheya.
Tang Zheya felt very funny, but still handed him his hand, dancing the European medieval dance steps, if it is matched with costumes, it will be more wonderful, everyone was overwhelmed by their co-ordinated dance steps, and screamed for the body and handsomeness of Bill athletes, Bill was leisurely, from time to time to a group of girls to throw glances, to achieve interaction, Tang Zheya did not squint, staring at Bill's shoulders and neck, indifferent and alone, in this surrounded by everyone, not submerged at all, flashing her unique light.
Yin Boran and Shen Tianling's windows were facing the bamboo forest, and they swept away the scene, obviously this was a small accident that they didn't expect.
What is Tang Zheya's relationship with him? He has worked with her for a while, and he has never seen her so light-hearted, she said, tomorrow the planning team will add a new person, will it be him?
"Bai Ran, they're a good match, aren't they?" Shen Tianling praised.
He looked at the two who were dancing happily, frowning and silent, this battle seemed to be more complicated.
Yin Boran and Shen Tianling are both people who don't like to be lively, the time that belongs to them in the evening is already halfway over, he raised his wrist to see, it is time to enjoy the time of the two of them who are only them and will not be disturbed by outsiders, he raised his eyebrows at Shen Tianling, the latter picked up the bag, hung his head shyly, and snuggled into his arm.
Yin Boran swept Tang Zheya's blue wings, and then drove away, and in an instant, there was no trace, just like he came to the bamboo garden like a ghost.
What does the excitement behind him have to do with him, if it weren't for the fact that it was not to break the speculation of Liubin Hospital about Shen Tianling and make up for the guilt of Shen Tianling, he should have worked overtime in Jinkong and worked with Tang Zheya.
