Chapter 14: Old Friends Reunited
The car at top speed spun out of control in front of the tunnel. The co-pilot's self, before predicting the injury, looked at Zhou Zhuoyi, who had an almost crazy expression in the driver's seat, in disbelief. The roar filled my ears, and Zhou Zhuoyi suddenly looked at me with a crazy face. The wind blew away Zhou Zhuoyi's words, and I couldn't hear what he was saying to me in his open and closed mouth, looking at the shape of his mouth, he only said one sentence.
"Kite, let's die together!"
The car hit the guardrail heavily and slid out of a distance, which was the reason for the excessive speed. The unspeakable pain was cut off by the force of inertia. The pain as if it had been torn spread throughout his limbs, and his body couldn't move as he watched the sky in his eyes blurred with blood. I want to live! Tenacious thoughts can't make the fingers do anything.
Choking smoke was introduced into the nasal cavity, and consciousness was slowly awakened. Unable to exert his strength, he panicked, gritted his teeth, and moved his body to climb out of the broken window, gasoline flowing down the cylinder that knocked off the lid.
"Kite!" The panicked voice made me, who had just climbed out and stabilized my body, raise my head. Zhou Zhuojin was running towards me with a frightened face, and Zhou Zhuoyi, who was slightly injured, was sitting on the road not far away.
Seeing that Zhou Zhuojin was still ten meters away from me, Zhou Zhuojin's footsteps stopped, took out the mobile phone that had been ringing in his bag and picked it up. I don't know what the other party said to him, a few seconds of calling. The emotion on Zhou Zhuojin's face changed from stunned to painful. Just holding the call that was hung up by the other party, he stood there silently, looked at me with pain on his face, and said without confidence, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Wait for me to come back. "The eyes gradually changed from joy to sadness, and finally to tears, which they called despair.
Zhou Zhuoyi, who didn't say a word, looked at Zhou Zhuojin, who had already turned away, and looked up to the sky and smiled. He got up and walked, lit a lighter, and threw it at the ground full of gasoline. Looking at everything that is happening quickly in front of me, I can't care about sadness. Zhou Zhuoyi, who was determined to die, dragged him to a safe place with great difficulty, and every minute and second was rehearsing the possibility of our survival.
The flames burst out in an instant, and the explosion sounded before it had gone far, and the powerful air currents pushed us far away. After another stumble, his body lay uncontrollably on the ground, and he could only open his eyes and watch. Zhou Zhuoyi, who also flew out of his sight for a long time, was unconscious, the clothes on his back were all scorched, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his eyes were dyed bright red.
......。
A cold sweat broke free from the dream, and he sat on the bed with his knees hugged tightly with a rapid gasp, and his emotions slowly woke up. It turns out that no matter how many years have passed, whether it is me or Zhou Zhuoyi, we have never forgotten that year and day. Zhou Zhuo left without looking back, his heart was full of despair, so sharp, deeply rooted in his heart.
After many years, when I met again, I never thought of asking him what kind of powerful reason could make him leave behind the so-called two most important people in his mouth and leave without looking back.
It's just that no matter how straightforward the answer is, it's useless. Just like he can never make up for it, Zhou Zhuoyi's revenge transferred to me out of hatred can't make up for Zhou Zhuoyi's distorted heart, and it can't make up for my injured ears .......
Insomnia, the earlier it starts. When I walked out of the room and was about to go for a morning run, Zhou Zhuojin, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, startled me. Accidentally kicked something to wake him up, and Zhou Zhuojin got up and looked at me sleepily.
"Wake up so early, go to exercise, I'll accompany you." It seems that Zhou Zhuojin has long been accustomed to the way he disappeared and reappeared over the years, so that he didn't come back last night, and when he saw me, he didn't explain.
"No, I prefer to be alone." The obvious refusal made Zhou Zhuojin's face lonely, and he sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Kite, can you let go of the past?" Zhou Zhuojin's miserable and weak words made my eyes fog. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded as if he understood something. It turns out that all the painful past is just me alone and entanglement ...... it.
The winter sun is warm, but it can't resist the desolation of the heart. Leaning weakly on the window, the scenery outside the window kept receding, and he had no mind to meet all kinds of conversations in the bus. Two hours later, the car stopped at a small town station, and as the crowd got off the bus, the familiar one got into a passenger tricycle on the side of the road.
The hotel room that had been booked for a long time was dark. Sitting on the bed with his knees crossed, the floor is related, and there is a little light outside the window. Involuntarily got up and walked to the glass window, looking at the warm light in front of him, his cold heart was warm, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Oh, yes! What can you do if you forget it, what has happened can never be changed. In that case, why bother to hide it. The feeling of relief is getting bigger and bigger, turning on the lights in the room, turning out the information, and getting to work.
Sometimes I really wonder if Lan Sha has arranged monitoring for me, and I just broke up with Zhou Zhuo in the morning, and Lan Sha notified me of a business trip at noon. Such a coincidental job simply made me come out and relax.
At one o'clock at noon, with the information sorted out in the hotel last night, I went to the café that I had made an appointment with the cloud in advance. The waiter took me directly to a quiet cubicle. Before I could get closer, a woman with a cheap bag turned her back to me, and the steaming coffee on the table seemed to indicate that the woman had just arrived.
"I arrived ten minutes early, it seems that Lan Sha has an evaluation of you...... Pretty pertinent. One second she was calmly ready to get up and greet me, and the next second when the woman saw me clearly, the surprise on her face was as if I was looking at her at the moment, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Director Lan's Special Assistant and Creative Director.". Serious self-introduction, so that the woman in front of me who has not seen for a long time is full of joy, shaking the hand I stretched out to her.
"Hello, I'm Lei Lei, the Lei Xiaolei in your mouth, and my current position is the prime minister of Lei's customer department." Lei Lei's ridiculous self-introduction made me laugh embarrassedly.
"It turns out that you are the night director of one of the creative departments who Feng Yang has just joined, and at first I thought it was the same name and surname." Lei Lei's eyes flashed with discomfort for a moment, but I hadn't seen her for a long time, and the happy mood made me ignore it.
I seem to understand a little bit about why Lan Sha assigned me to this job. With Lan Sha's shrewdness, he should know that Lei Lei and I have known each other for many years.
"Old goblin, is he very demonic?" It seems that the blue sand is not warped orchid fingers. Listening to Lei Lei's positioning of Lan Sha, it seems that Lei Lei also knows Lan Sha and has a good friendship.
"Isn't he a demon? Obviously a man, but he is whiter than a girl, and he doesn't know who to look so good all day long. Lei Lei complained with disgust on her face, not caring at all that we had only met for a few minutes. Don't worry, I'm the special assistant of Blue Sand.
"Hehe, you should have said this to his face." Lei Lei seems to be quiet and decent, but her personality is not delicate and pretentious.
"Yes, but this blow is a drizzle for him."
......
and Lei Lei chatted happily for a long time on the topic of blue sand. I didn't know how many times I refilled the coffee, until it was almost dark, and I had to make another appointment to talk about work before leaving. From Lei Lei's mouth, I learned why Lansha Qucai was appointed as the general manager of Providence, the details were unknown, Lei Lei only said because he liked it, such a sentence for no reason. After all, they are friends, what to say and what not to say, Lei Lei is still measured, if Lan Sha wants me to know, he will naturally tell me.
The next day, in the same coffee shop, the two negotiated everything after two hours, but unfortunately Lei Lei still had something to do, and they had to separate as soon as they met. Lei Lei reluctantly hugged me, left me with new contact information, and was picked up by a colleague.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, but unfortunately Lansha has no meaning to take a holiday, busy and intense work as the New Year is approaching more and more, many customers are ready to have a good publicity and activities in the New Year. Looking at the date marked on the grandstand calendar, there is only one week to Chinese New Year's Eve. It seems that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will not be able to go back.
After hesitating, I called my mother and told me that there would be no holiday this year, so I couldn't go back. "It's okay, the company doesn't blame you for not taking holidays, just pay attention to your body." There was a blind sound from the phone that he hung up, and he put down the phone with sour eyes, and picked up the phone to transfer a sum of money to his mother.
Lan Sha stood at the door and looked at me for a long time, knocked on the door deliberately, and when I saw that I found him and looked again, he winked and smiled at him who walked in.
"Knowing so quickly that I don't have a holiday, where did I hear the gossip." Lan Sha's calm attitude didn't make me unhappy, but there was never a precedent of not going home for the New Year, and my heart was a little sour.
"Do you still need to listen, you finally used your performance to demote Xiao Qing and Xiao Yu, in order to prevent them from turning over once, you have to take advantage of the situation." Lan Sha listened to me find out his intentions, and actually smiled embarrassedly, that look, like a fox. Suddenly remembered Lei Lei's evaluation of him before, and said with some doubts.
"How do you know Lei Lei, you seem to have known each other for a long time, depending on what she means." I thought that Lan Sha would tell me, but when Lan Sha heard me mention Lei Lei, the smile on his face slowly froze, and he looked at me in a cold tone.
"I don't think we've known each other for long, Nightshade, are you sure you'll always be friends?" Lan Sha's unpredictable look looked at me like this, and the words of us made me not react for a while, referring to him or Lei Lei. As for the second half of Lan Sha's sentence, I won't speculate, Lei Lei and I have known each other since childhood, and I can't think of any reason to break up our friendship for more than 20 years.
"Okay, I'm not a vampire, and I pay three times the salary during overtime, which can always comfort you that you can't go home for the New Year." Lan Sha changed the topic at the right time, and I didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so I looked at him with a soothing face.
"What about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone can't pay out of pocket at that time." Lan Sha saw me climbing along the pole and knocking on the bamboo pole, holding his forehead in pain, as if my words gave him a headache.
"It's still Chinese New Year's Eve, and the general manager has been exploited by you so that only his pants are left!" This is the first time I've heard Lan Sha's slightly rough teasing, and as he spoke, Lan Sha shook his head helplessly, got up and left my office.
