One

No one expected that Lin Ximeng, who had been timid and introverted since childhood, would fall in love at the age of seventeen.

It doesn't matter if she steps on it, she is in the clouds and fog above, tossing and turning, and never coming down.

When she met Fan Tianfu, she was already a veteran of the love scene. The first time Lin Ximeng met Fan Tianfu was an evening in late autumn, she had just returned from an interview outside, unwashed, unkempt, a black tight woolen sweater tied in white loose pants, a denim windbreaker on the outside, a black leather bag on her back, and her thick long hair was tied back haphazardly.

She walked into the third floor of the New World Hotel, knocked softly on the room that Liu Daguang had told her, and heard a sound

"Please come in," she walked in. Fan Tianfu stood straight in the middle of the scarlet-carpeted room with his hands behind his back.

He is in his thirties, with refined edges, elegant suits, elegant demeanor, and a compelling bearing, and a vigorous breath of life all over his body.

On his handsome face, a pair of deep eyes were smiling, waiting there as if everything was ready and nothing but the east wind was missing.

At that moment, Lin Ximeng suddenly had a feeling, like going to the store to hang out, and suddenly saw something that he had wanted to buy for a long time but had never encountered, and he was so excited that he was about to buy it desperately, but he found that he had no money in his pocket.

She wanted to get down to the ground right away. Suddenly, Lin Ximeng hated all the men he had met before.

How much time and effort those men had made her spend grooming herself. And yet, that's just some stupid pigs, some bastards.

If it weren't for these stupid pigs and bastards draining her passion and exhausting her, how could she, Lin Ximeng, use this dignity to go to such a vivid and radiant man?

She even cursed Liu Daguang in her heart, this damn Liu Daguang, why didn't he introduce this person to her in advance?

He was intent on embarrassing her. It must be so, otherwise, otherwise...... Otherwise, can the man in front of him look at himself with this kind of eyes?

However, in any case, it was too late to escape. Lin Ximeng stubbornly introduced himself: "I...... I...... I am Lin Ximeng, ...... Be...... It's a friend of Liu Daguang. Lin Ximeng has stuttered since she was a child, but in front of strangers, because she is very cautious and her tone is very slow, she rarely ties knots, and strangers can't hear that she has this problem.

But today, she never imagined that there would be another stutter in such a situation, and this humiliation was no less than that of a young woman she saw in the bazaar when she was a child, with a clean head and half of her trouser belt exposed outside her clothes, and everyone looked at the young woman, but the young woman did not know anything about it.

She witnessed this scene and was very embarrassed for the young woman. When she grew up, whenever she went out, the most important thing for her was to tie up her belt.

And now, her stutter was undoubtedly the belt of the young woman's trousers, unveiled to this man.

Lin Ximeng's face was flushed, ashamed, and he stood there with no shame. Fan Tianfu didn't seem to hear, his hands still behind his back, and he looked at her firmly with those deep eyes, as if her image was both unexpected and expected by him.

Although Lin Ximeng has been in contact with all kinds of men, he has never been firmly scrutinized by a man with this kind of vision.

Her eyes quickly avoided his, and she didn't know where to look at her, but in a panic, something cut her eyes away.

A military cap. A yellow military hat shining with five red stars is very eye-catching, carefully placed on a beautiful and antique root carving.

As soon as her puzzled eyes flashed, Fan Tianfu slowly stretched out a huge and plump palm, took two steps forward steadily, held her hand, and said politely: "Hello! Lin Ximeng realized that Fan Tianfu's self-introduction seemed to be completely prepared for her, so polite, so appropriate, and then enthusiastically invited her to sit on the circle chair.

Lin Ximeng was reserved, and as soon as he sat down, there was a middle-aged man who was not tall and gentle, holding a plate of washed fresh fruits in both hands, and respectfully brought it up and put it on the coffee table.

Fan Tianfu stood up and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Teacher Lin, a Chinese teacher at Wutong No. 39 Middle School, who has profound knowledge and insight. This is Fan Gong, an engineer of our Red Star Decoration Company, an expert in the decoration industry, and he is meticulous in his work. Fan Gong quickly stretched out his hands, warmly shook hands with Lin Ximeng, and said humbly: "Manager Fan didn't dislike me and brought me over from Bailang Island." It is such an honor to be able to meet Mr. Lin today. Lin Ximeng was infected by Fan Gong's enthusiasm, smiled sincerely, and replied with the same enthusiasm: "Hello! Fan Gong. I'm glad to know you, too. The two of them were polite to each other again, Fan Gong looked at Fan Tianfu and asked respectfully: "Manager Fan, is it okay?" ”

"Nope."

"Then I'll go down first, you can tell me anything, I'm in the office." Lin Ximeng smiled and watched Fan Gong withdraw.

She felt the atmosphere just now, secretly looked at Fan Tianfu, and couldn't help but sigh: This is really a man who knows how to grasp the balance too well.

At the same time, there are two things churning up and down in her heart: one is that a person of Fan Gong's age is so respectful to Fan Tianfu, what kind of man is Fan Tianfu?

Second, why did he have to see her and be so urgent? About half a month ago, the school held a meeting of all teachers, and near the end of the meeting, Lin Ximeng quietly opened the memorandum and manual, which contained a stack of business cards, she took it out and put it under the table to select.

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing?" Lin Ximeng was startled, and turned his head to see that it was Brother Liu Ling sitting beside him.

Brother Liu Lingdi found the thick stack of business cards in her hand, and couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and asked quietly, "How do you know so many people?" She hurriedly put away the two business cards she picked out, and put the rest in the manual, smiled at Brother Liu Lingdi, and did not speak.

Lin Ximeng is a special reporter of the newspaper, responsible for the interview and writing of famous entrepreneurs in the construction industry in the coastal areas of the province, and no one in the school knows about it.

This work has been going on for more than half a year, mostly on Sundays and holidays. Of course, when there are no classes, it is inevitable to sneak out for a day and a half.

Both financially beneficial and extensive access to society were needed now, but had to be done in secret.

After the meeting, she walked out of the office, holding the two business cards, and wanted to go to the principal's office to make a call and make an appointment for the two entrepreneurs interviewed on Sunday, but found that there were a lot of people in the principal's office, and everyone was arguing loudly about the division of the junior high school, so she had to go back first.

"Teacher Lin," Brother Liu Ling walked out of the logistics office, holding a stack of papers in his arms, and called out to her,

"I'll tell you something." Brother Liu dragged her to a place where no one was. Lin Ximeng looked at her mysterious appearance and asked what was going on.

"That's the case," Brother Liu Ling moved the stack of papers in his arms upwards,

"You haven't been to Daguang lately, have you?"

"Nope."

"I went to him a few days ago, I met a soldier, just came back from the army, what kind of decoration company did he have, he asked if our school has any decoration ......" Lin Ximeng interrupted her with a smile: "Teacher Liu, you know, I live in a breeding room, and the house is about to collapse, and it is impossible to decorate." ”

"That's not what it means. I mean, at the meeting just now, I found out that you have so many business cards, so many construction company managers, even Chen Xiaqiu's, can you take over the decoration project from these people? ”

"What can I do?"

"That soldier ......" class bell rang, Lin Ximeng knew what she was going to say, so she said without thinking: "How much commission does he give me?" ”

"I'm going to say this......"

"I have a lesson in this class, Mr. Liu, let's talk about it later." After speaking, Lin Ximeng hurriedly went to class.

Lin Ximeng likes Liu Daguang, he is engaged in painting in his spare time, and he met him when he came to school to find his sister Liu Lingdi, at that time he was not divorced and did not open a hotel, but he didn't like his fat sister.

For a few days in a row, Brother Liu Ling came to Lin Ximeng with nothing to do, and repeatedly said that if he could introduce the soldier into a decoration project, how much would the commission fee be.

Only then did Lin Ximeng understand that the original considerable commission fee also had a share of the intermediary brother Liu Lingdi. She went home and told her husband Zhuo Qi about it, and Zhuo Qi said that if it was good like this, maybe a project could earn tens of thousands, and she would pick up grass and beat rabbits to carry it.

Lin Ximeng didn't take this matter to heart. It's not because she can't get the project or doesn't like the money, but because of that

The words "soldier" hindered her from thinking further. To put it bluntly, she is not interested in being a soldier. She has always had an understanding that those who serve as soldiers are people who have no emotions or six desires or even abnormal people, and she can't understand how a normal man can be a soldier for more than ten years or even decades, and can live that kind of life with a pure heart and few desires.

This kind of person is either physically flawed or emotionally too simple. How could a woman like her be interested in such a man?

She is reluctant to do things for men who are not interested, even if she is paid more. This afternoon, she had just come back from an interview outside, and she saw Brother Liu Ling walking towards her from a distance, and she opened her throat from a distance: "Teacher Lin, I'm looking for you." Lin Ximeng knew that she was soliciting decoration projects again, and when Brother Liu Ling came to her, she smiled reluctantly, tired from a day's travel, and the anger that You Xinshan gave her that annoyed her, she really didn't want to talk anymore, but she couldn't help but say it, so she had to ask briefly: "Is that thing again?" ”

"It's not." This was not what she expected.

"Daguang called you in the afternoon, you are not there, I am afraid to let the principal know, I went to answer the phone for you, saying that you went to class. Go and call him back. She looked at Brother Liu Ling gratefully, it was really rare for her kindness.

Although she doesn't care about the principal, she has to give an account of the past. She went to call Liu Daguang's phone.

"It's me, Mr. Lin." Liu Daguang looked very anxious.

"You're looking for me?"

"I'll be waiting for you for half an afternoon, and if you don't come back, you'll be in trouble." Lin Ximeng didn't know what was going on, and asked, "What?" ”

"My sister told you about Lao Fan, right?"

"Old Fan, which old Fan?"

"It's the younger brother of Fan and his party."

"She didn't tell me."

"Why didn't she tell you? She said to tell you, he just came back from the army, he is a painter, very talented, and set up a Red Star Decoration Company...... "Lin Ximeng only then knew that the soldier that Liu Lingdi said was originally the younger brother of Fan Yixing.

Fan and his entourage are writers who are famous in Wutong County. Brother Liu Ling is really a woman who can't say anything, she didn't even say that the soldier was a member of the Fan family brothers, but repeatedly said that there was a considerable commission.

She immediately said, "Your sister told me." ”

"Lao Fan is waiting for you in the company now."

"Wait for me, what are you waiting for me for?"

"Didn't my sister tell you?"

"This ......" Lin Ximeng didn't know what to say. Liu Daguang was in a hurry over there, and someone kept shouting on the phone

The voice of "Boss Liu", Liu Daguang commanded something, and said anxiously to Lin Ximeng here: "People are already in a hurry, and they just called me again to ask me, you go first, don't miss the appointment." I have a lot of guests here tonight, or I will accompany you, he ...... on the third floor of the New World Hotel" Put down the phone, Lin Ximeng couldn't help muttering in his heart.

When she knew that this was Fan Yixing's younger brother and a painter, she immediately agreed. Besides, it's time for her to make money.

If you are not interested, you are not interested, how can there be a good thing in the world that makes you both interested and profitable? Taking a step back, wouldn't it be better to make money from people who aren't interested, and it's okay to have a black heart?

So, she called Zhuo Qi and told her that the person who asked her to take over the decoration project was Fan Yixing's younger brother and was waiting for her to discuss the matter.

Zhuo Qi heard that it was Fan's younger brother who wanted to meet Lin Ximeng, and he was very happy.
