The lights are shining, and the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowy.

The bustling night of the city is reflected in the background outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the slow music, most of the people present are successful men. Of course, there are also women, female bosses who are older and seem stronger and wiser than men, or young and lovely female secretaries brought by the bosses.

Mu Hanxia wore a black evening dress, but it did not show her back or thighs, and the cut was smooth and close-fitting. The long hair is simply coiled up, and a crystal hairpin is twisted. She stood at the small bar in the depths of the room, casually eating some snacks.

A man noticed her, came over with red wine, and touched her gently: "What do you call it?" ”

Mu Hanxia smiled: "Fang Yi Group, Mu Hanxia." ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Mu Hanxia said, "I'll go over there." ”

The man bowed his head and said goodbye to her.

Mu Hanxia walked to a no-man's corner, leaning against the window, a little bored. Before the dinner party began, as far as the eye could see, in the sofa, in the corridor, and at the round table, everyone was smiling and talking. They are all the same kind of people, the most successful group of people in this society in terms of economic value. Every time she attends such a meeting, she will see that some people are particularly enthusiastic about the camp. There are also people who seem jerky and try to fit in. But more people are calm.

But in fact, she has always been not very interested in this kind of occasion that requires long sleeves to be good at dancing. Before...... When I followed Lin Mochen before, I was new to these occasions, and I had to work hard, laugh hard, adapt hard, and strive to contribute even a little bit of commercial value to Fengchen. But in fact, in the heart, I feel bored. It is better to let her mingle with the workers and masters in the factory, or bury herself in the office to design a marketing plan.

She thought to herself, a little self-deprecatingly, and looked down at her watch again. The dinner party is about to start, and Lu Zhang has not yet arrived. This young master, do you have to release her pigeons?

This afternoon, she also called him to confirm: "Mr. Lu, the dinner is at 8 o'clock in the evening, formal attire attends, we want to promote the transformation of the business department, we also need the help of many departments and partners, this kind of occasion is very important, you must come." ”

At that time, Lu Zhang replied lazily: "Got it." Long-winded to death. ”

I don't know if he went out or not. But Mu Hanxia is not going to force it.

The banquet hall is on the ground floor. She leaned against the window, looking out onto a large garden and clearly seeing the entrance to the conference center. She stood idly for a while, when she saw a black sedan drive into the conference center.

Someone next to him was talking: "I heard that someone from the Fengchen Group has arrived." ”

"Will their CEO come?" Another said.

Mu Hanxia kept looking at the door.

It's no wonder everyone is paying attention. In recent years, the domestic economic situation has not been good, and the strongest and outstanding performer is Fengchen. Therefore, every move of Fengchen, a business giant, has attracted the attention of the business community.

At the top of the list is a black Audi. The waiter trotted over and opened the door of the back seat, and saw a man in his thirties in a neat suit get out of the car. He was born with a square face, thick eyebrows, a deep face, and a lofty spirit. Mu Hanxia has seen his photo, and Zhou Zhisu, the current CEO of Fengchen Group. He is a hard-working, enterprising, and very well-known figure in the business world.

At this time, the person next to him said: "Isn't Zhou Zhisu's car a Bentley?" Why did I downgrade my style and sit in an Audi today. ”

His companion said, "Hey, don't you see, there's a car behind him." ”

Mu Hanxia looked at it for a moment.

After Zhou Zhisu got out of the car, he didn't go in immediately, but stood where he was and waited. A young man got out of another car behind him, walked briskly, and instead of letting the doorman come forward, he personally opened the back door of the second Cayenne.

The black door slowly opened, and the figure sitting in the back seat could be vaguely seen.

Mu Hanxia turned away from the window.

——

The spring night in Beijing is still a little chilly. Mu Hanxia had already walked to the other side of the banquet hall and pushed open the door. Outside the door, there is a silent garden.

She walked down the steps, and the cool wind blew, as if it also blew away the chaotic emotions in people's hearts. She lifted the hem of her skirt, and though it was very inappropriate, she sat down on the steps. Then he raised his head and looked at the dark and quiet flowers and plants in front of him, as well as the cloud-filled sky, and the faint moon.

There was a "squeak", and the door behind him was pushed open. Mu Hanxia was so tense that he couldn't turn back.

But I heard Lu Zhang's casual voice sounding: "Hey, you want me to come like a ghost, and you are too lazy to run here to blow the wind?" ”

Mu Hanxia was relieved, smiled, and looked up at him.

Lu Zhang was stunned for a moment. First, I didn't expect her to look good like this, and second, she suddenly smiled so brightly at him, she didn't look like that strong woman.

"What are you doing here?" He put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood beside her.

"Nothing, breathable." Mu Hanxia stood up and patted the ash on her skirt. Lu Zhang watched her big grin very unexpectedly, and then heard her say calmly, "Let's go in." ”

Lu Zhang snorted lightly and followed her in.

I don't know if it's the illusion of Mu Hanxia, but the atmosphere in the hall seems to be a little warmer with the arrival of Fengchen's people. She and Lu Zhang stood at a small bar, she took a glass of white water and drank it slowly. Lu Zhang picked a glass of red wine and drank it very boringly. Diagonally opposite the two, at the corner of the hall, in a relatively quiet position, there are also a few couches. At this time, there were quite a few people gathered there.

"The city leaders have arrived." Someone next to him said, "Talk to Chairman Fengchen there." ”

"Their chairman is here too? It's strange. Haven't they all been seen in years? ”

……

Mu Hanxia did not move. Lu Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked up.

After being quiet for a while, Mu Hanxia also looked up.

The lighting is very quiet, and the intricate sofa shows grace and luxury. In the two sofas where the stars held the moon, she first saw Zhou Zhisu, talking with a smile in her eyebrows. Opposite him, sitting should be a city leader, dressed simply, amiably.

He was also sitting there.

Dark black suit, white shirt, dark gray tie. Clean short hair, fair face. It's as if nothing has changed in six years.

But if you look closely, it's changed. He was already thirty-three, and his eyebrows and cheekbones were a little tougher than when he was twenty-six. The silhouette of the man is deeper. But those eyes have not changed, deep, black, like a reef at the bottom of the sea, in this room full of prosperity and luxury, but there seems to be his unique calm and profundity.

Mu Hanxia imagined the scene of reuniting with him thousands of times. However, when the moment really came, it was so quiet. She stood behind the crowd and stared at him quietly.

The bottom of his eyes suddenly became uncontrollably wet. She breathed slowly and pressed down calmly.

Like, if you feel something. With a faint smile on his lips, he raised his head and looked straight in her direction.

The two looked at each other silently.

In this noisy hall, in this drunken gold fan, no one noticed, their eyes met.

Mu Hanxia looked at his handsome face. The smile on his lips had not faded, but she could clearly see that there was no smile in his eyes. It's quiet, so quiet that it looks like it's just looking at her, and it doesn't seem to take her into your eyes at all.

Then slowly, he looked away. It's as if she doesn't exist at all outside the sea of people.

Mu Hanxia also looked away, she picked up the cup and drank it all the time. But the entrance of white water turned out to be bitter.

Lu Zhang, who had been silent beside Leng Buding, suddenly spoke: "Hey, Carol, did you notice just now that Lin Mochen was looking at me?" What does he see me doing? Provocation? ”

Mu Hanxia was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, sneered, and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't need to provoke you at all." ”

Lu Zhang glanced at her.

At this time, all the sounds of conversation and laughter around him were a little blurry in Lin Mochen's ears. He lowered his eyes, not allowing himself to look in her direction in this large public.

She finally returned to the direction he had seen.

Zhou Zhisu spoke at this time: "That's the prince of Fang Yi Group over there, right?" ”

Lin Mochen was silent.

Someone next to him replied, "Yes, Lu Zhang." Next to him seems to be their new vice president of the business department, named Mu Hanxia. It's a returnee. ”

The city leader on the opposite side also looked back and said with a smile: "Lao Lu is bold, he is eclectic and reduces talents, and his son and the vice president who invited him back are so young." Mo Chen, you're about the same age as when you started your business, right? Young and promising. ”

"Yes." Lin Mochen replied, "Younger and more promising than me." ”

——

The scale of this banquet was not small, so Mu Hanxia pulled Lu Zhang's and sat down at the last table. Lu Zhang is naturally happy. Lin Mochen naturally sat at the front of the first table, and he could hardly see it from the back. So until the end of the banquet, the two never looked at each other again.

The night breeze was gentle, and Mu Hanxia took a taxi back to the apartment building.

In the end, his mood fluctuated a little, remembering the pair of eyes he had just had, and remembering that he looked away indifferently. Mu Hanxia was a little distracted, and walked slowly along the gravel path under the apartment building.

When I got to the door of the building, I took out the door card, swiped the door, and walked in.

This high-end apartment has a lobby on the first floor, which is small in size, but exquisitely decorated, with crystal chandeliers, sofas and coffee tables for people to take a break from the situation.

Mu Hanxia walked in and saw a person sitting on the sofa.

I didn't take off my black coat and just sat there. The long legs are overlapped, and the cuffs of the coat reveal a black suit. He kept his head down, holding a magazine and reading it. Hearing footsteps, he put down his magazine and looked up.

Mu Hanxia was stunned.

In a trance, she felt that this scene was familiar.

When is it?

Oh yes. It was in Lin City, the days when they stayed in the same hotel, and the days when they were just together. The day she met Chen Bijin and her boyfriend. He was the same, sitting in front of the convenience store in the hotel, holding a magazine and reading it, waiting for her.

It wasn't a memory she wanted to look back on. Because it was that night that they stepped into the trap of their opponents. But when she saw him appear again tonight, she suddenly remembered that night. It had nothing to do with conspiracy, nothing to do with remorse, just the way he waited patiently for her at the time.

Thoughts just flashed. In a moment, Mu Hanxia had regained his composure, watched him stare at her as well, and then stood up.

She was silent for a moment and smiled: "Lin Dong, long time no see." ”

He was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Long time no see...... summer。 ”
