The formal signing of the agreement took place in London.

The team that went to London to witness the signing was huge. Huang Ligong, as the company's legal representative and founder, led the team; Liu Ruiyang, chief scientist and co-founder, Ruili Technology originated from him, and naturally we want to witness history together; Liu Fei, in charge of sales, will start docking business after signing the contract; Ling Yuanruo, a young lawyer with overseas practice qualifications with an international perspective, rushed from New York to review and check the relevant agreement documents; Li Yi, the core scientific researcher, led the team to build the Kunpeng reducer, and brought his wife and children to witness the big scene together......

Huang Ligong was in a majestic mood all the way, like a general on an expedition, leading his future Lingyan Pavilion to the first city he captured to receive the cheers of victory.

The only regret is Zhang Wenfeng. He can't come over yet. The day before departure, Huang Ligong received a phone call from the lawyer. Liu Fei and Liu Ruiyang both looked at him nervously. As soon as he hung up the phone, Huang Ligong said in disbelief, "The sentence is three suspended and four are suspended." ”

Liu Fei laughed suddenly, and tears burst out.

"Shall we get him in time?" Liu Ruiyang asked. Huang Ligong shook his head, "It will take a few days to come out." ”

"He's fine." Liu Fei put his arm around Liu Ruiyang.

"It's a pity he can't go to London with us."

"He'll be there for the next one." Huang Ligong nodded, if there was no Zhang Wenfeng, the story of Ruili Technology might not have begun.

Huang Ligong took the lead and walked out of the airport with the team, Xu Qianqian and Harry were waiting for them.

"Are you on a march or a triumphant?" Xu Qianqian shook hands with Huang Ligong and asked him with a smile.

"The first step in the long march."

Xu Qianqian smiled, walked over to Liu Ruiyang, stretched out her hand, and the two hugged each other. "You're not the same as you used to be." She looked at Liu Ruiyang, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. His face faintly radiated a relaxed, soft glow.

"Really?" Liu Ruiyang looked into her eyes.

"You forgot to tell me your good news."

"I'd like to meet and tell you." Liu Ruiyang was a little embarrassed. He remembered that in Xu Qianqian's house, he said that he had good news to tell her. "She'll be in London later."

"I'm very happy." Xu Qianqian said with a smile.

The signing ceremony was held in the conference room of the company.

Huang Ligong was a little disappointed, at such a momentous moment, the scene was very simple, even a little messy, without any atmosphere, without a sense of ceremony, just like an ordinary daily meeting. If it were in China, trivial contracts would be tiny and tsunami, and everyone in the world would look forward to it. Old-fashioned Englishman, he comforted himself so. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and the British got straight to the point, said a few words and hurriedly began the signing session. Huang Ligong signed two agreements with Dr. William, the "Sale and Purchase Agreement" between Ruili Technology and Dr. William and other individual shareholders, and the "Equity Subscription Agreement" signed by Ruili Technology and the limited partnership jointly established by individual shareholders to increase capital and shares to Ruili Technology.

The signing dinner was not magnificent, and he booked a dining area in a quiet cafeteria in London, and Huang Ligong walked around, thinking that it was also a mid-range restaurant. However, with the signing ceremony in front of Zhuyu, he did not have any sense of loss, after all, the restaurant environment was not bad. When Frank saw him, he walked straight up to say hello as if nothing had happened. Huang Ligong felt awkward, with a smile on his face, and held the hand handed over by Frank. Xu Qianqian was talking to Ling Yuanruo on the side, relaxed and complacent, and when she saw Huang Ligong's slightly stiff smile, she walked over and said, "I'll be the translator." ”

The next day, Xu Qianqian arrived at the hotel lobby at 8:50. Liu Ruiyang and Ling Yuanruo were already waiting in the lobby café, drinking coffee and smiling softly. Xu Qianqian waved to the two of them, walked over, and Liu Ruiyang pulled out the chair.

"Drink something?" He asked.

"Black coffee."

Liu Ruiyang got up and went to the counter, waiting for the waiter to grind.

"It's nice to see you two together, there's something very similar about you." Xu Qianqian glanced at Liu Ruiyang's straight back and said to Ling Yuanruo.

"He told me that you were the first to see him." Ling Yuanruo said.

Xu Qianqian looked at her eyes that were about to fly, smiled, and shook her head slightly.

Li Yi's family also came down. He originally planned to visit his doctoral supervisor Cohen in Augsburg, Germany, in the next few days, so he brought his wife and children with him and went directly to Germany from England. He said hello to Xu Qianqian and others, and then accompanied his wife to play outside the door with the children. Huang Ligong and Liu Fei came down at 9:15 and walked to the table.

"A cup of coffee? After drinking we went to Hyde Park. Xu Qianqian said.

"I can't go." Huang Ligong shook his head and said, "We have to leave immediately." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Wenfeng is coming out. I rushed back to pick him up. ”

"Ah, then I'll go with you." Liu Ruiyang said.

Huang Ligong pressed his hand on his shoulder, "Don't." He looked at Ling Yuanruo, "It's rare that you both come over and have a good time in London for a few days." You're going, Zhang Wenfeng scolded me to death. ”

Zhang Wenfeng walked out and saw Belle waiting for him, with Huang Ligong and Liu Fei standing next to him.

He walked over, and Huang Ligong gave him a big hug.

"Get in the car first." Huang Ligong said.

"You've got a good car." Zhang Wenfeng sat in the passenger seat and said casually.

"You guessed wrong this time, rented." Huang Ligong said, "Come back to Wushan with me?" ”

Zhang Wenfeng was silent.

"Together, our brothers will make Ruili Technology the world's best industrial robot enterprise."

"I can't fly right now."

"Let's drive all the way back." Huang Ligong patted the steering wheel and looked straight ahead, "I drove through the road you often walk, and I thought, one day I will drive with you and travel all over the country." Why don't you just do it today? ”

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at him, and then looked out the window, "It will take ten hours from Wushan at the earliest." Let's go back to where I live, rest my feet, and discuss it in the evening.

Huang Ligong made a turn and drove towards Jingshan Ancient Town.

Belle took out the key, opened the door, and stood sideways. Zhang Wenfeng entered, his hand touched the door frame, as if returning to his childhood house after a long absence.

Zhang Wenfeng went straight up to the second floor, and the other three followed. The second floor was tidy and tidy, except for the messy table, with a book on it, cigarettes and lighters placed casually next to it, and in the ashtray a little farther away, the cigarette butts were still there. It seems that the owner of this place has never left. There was a sudden silence in the living room. Zhang Wenfeng put his hands in his pockets and looked at this home strangely. Huang Ligong, Liu Fei, and Belle glanced at each other, but no one spoke.

A gust of wind rose, and the rustling of the leaves of the ancient tree at the door was faintly heard.

"Let's cook our own food." Liu Fei took Belle's hand and pulled her out, "You take me to visit the ancient town, and then let's go grocery shopping." ”

The footsteps gradually descended the stairs, Zhang Wenfeng picked up the cigarette, took out two, handed one to Huang Ligong, picked up the lighter, and walked to the balcony. He lit a cigarette and handed the lighter to Huang Ligong. Huang Ligong also clicked.

Liu Fei and Belle walked down the steps, talking, and stopped at the edge of the ancient tree. Liu Fei said something to Belle seriously, Belle shook her head, and then began to nod, and suddenly smiled, like a flower in the sun. She reached out and hugged Liu Fei, who stroked her shoulders and whispered in her ear. Belle took Liu Fei's arm, and the two walked along the road to the town.

"Guess what they're talking about?" Zhang Wenfeng suddenly spoke.

"Woman...... I never guessed. ”

Liu Fei asked her to go back to Wushan together. She said she was afraid that I didn't want her to follow. Liu Fei said that both of you will help her and tell her what men are like. may also praise her for her gentleness and persistence. Zhang Wenfeng said lightly, exhaling smoke lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"Did you hear that?" Huang Ligong looked at him and added a little ridicule to his voice, "Brother, don't be too lewd." Men are all blindly confident things. ”

Zhang Wenfeng smiled bitterly. "Liu Fei taught you this lesson, right?"

"She taught me a lesson with her actions."

"I see you're having fun." Zhang Wenfeng said, "When will you get married, so that we can also be happy?" ”

"Hey, getting married is a matter of making someone else happy."

Zhang Wenfeng laughed, "It's not like what you said, when did you learn to steal my lines?" ”

"Wenfeng ......" Huang Ligong turned around, looked at the huge branches and leaves of the ancient tree, was silent for a long time, and said, "All these years, when I haven't been happy, it seems that I won't be happy." Not anymore. ”

Zhang Wenfeng sighed and said reluctantly, "You are not happy to start from scratch, make an admirable enterprise, and buy it overseas?" ”

Huang Ligong shook his head, "Excited, proud, beautiful, I think Lao Tzu is awesome, but not happy." He took a drag on his cigarette and said in a low voice, "But no one's life is about happiness, right?" ”

Zhang Wenfeng patted him on the shoulder and looked at the branches and leaves of the ancient tree together.

The cigarette in his hand was burning slowly, and when it burned to the end, Huang Ligong felt a burning sensation in his fingers, threw away the cigarette butt, and said, "Sometimes when I lie in bed and can't sleep, a word pops up in my head, martyr." After saying that, he laughed. Zhang Wenfeng shook his head, "That's right, it already belongs to a bigger thing, how can you be qualified to talk about your own happiness." ”

Huang Ligong turned around, faced Zhang Wenfeng, and changed the topic, "Sissi is in London now, and I think she has developed in the UK." ”

"Hmm...... She finally went back. ”

"She seems to be a completely different person, very different from before."

Zhang Wenfeng smiled, "She hasn't changed, she just has returned to her true self." ”

Huang Ligong stopped talking, and finally said, "Well, I don't actually know her. ”

"I envy her, envy Ruiyang, and I'm happy for them, they all live in the world in their own way."

"Those of us who do business, we can't guarantee happiness, what else can we talk about ourselves, so far away?!" Huang Ligong made a gesture of hitting Zhang Wenfeng's head, and Zhang Wenfeng turned sideways to dodge. The two laughed at each other—laughter always seemed dull on this balcony—a kind of banter, familiar and distant.

"When I'm most happy, I'm with you, messing with that broken flying machine in a broken rental house."

"Me too. Get back? ”

Huang Ligong shook his head and said seriously, "I am a martyr, so I will be martyred to the end." He thumped his chest with his fist, "I also want to make Kunpeng the most awesome robot, buy the most awesome companies, and plant the banner in those awesome places." He pressed his hand on Zhang Wenfeng's shoulder and looked into his eyes, "Wenfeng, go back to Wushan with me." I miss the feeling of fighting alongside you. I know you miss too, go back with me. ”

Zhang Wenfeng was silent for a long time.

"I don't know." "I may not be completely dead yet," he said. ”

"I'm right here, waiting for you to decide."

Neither spoke anymore. Zhang Wenfeng smoked cigarette after cigarette until the air downstairs was jubilant again. Liu Fei and Belle appeared at the end of the road. The two of them carried large and small bags, held hands, and talked, and their smiles could be seen from afar. Belle was a little excited, waving her arms, and drawing a rustling arc in the air with the bag in her hand, floating on the road of the ancient town, floating above time. It's as if they are lines that belong to life itself, floating above time.

Huang Ligong pulled Zhang Wenfeng, and the two walked downstairs to greet them.
