Dinner
Jiang Yao turned his head to look at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the side of the road, and there was not a trace of ripple in his calm eyes.
She didn't answer, because she didn't know what to answer, and it wasn't as simple as love or not love between them.
Jiang Yao and Xu Mozhi mentioned Zhou Qianze before, saying that they had met the only man in their lives who was excited, after Xu Mozhi knew, he persuaded her bitterly, and said stupidly: "Jiang Yao, I have heard of Zhou Qianze in the circle, a man like him has no real feelings, even if he loves you, he will not marry you, if you don't want to regret it, it's best to stay away from him"
Jiang Yao didn't listen, she was young and vigorous at that time, and she stubbornly fell into it when she first fell in love, so that she ended up in a miserable situation.
She had a stiff relationship with Xu Mozhi for a long time at that time, and neither of the two took the initiative to contact, and then she went to the United States to have an accident before begging Xu Mozhi for help, and it happened that the senior Xu Mozhi knew opened a law firm in the United States, and he asked someone to help Jiang Yao fight the lawsuit several times, and after Jiang Yao was released from prison, the two slowly broke the ice and regained their enthusiasm.
Xu Mozhi saw that Jiang Yao didn't answer, and changed the topic: "Then how long will you stay in Shanghai this time?" ”
Jiang Yao said lightly: "It should be more than half a month, there is a project that needs to be implemented here, and I won't return to the imperial capital so soon."
Jiang Yao shrugged her shoulders and drank coffee slowly, just now she seemed to see a familiar side face on a black Bentley passing by, like Zhou Qianze, she shook her head, and told herself that she must have seen it wrong, he was probably still in the imperial capital, how could he come to Shanghai.
Xu Mozhi asked Jiang Yao if she wanted to have a meal together at night, Jiang Yao waved her hand and said no, her senior leaders arranged a dinner in the evening, she wanted to come forward to socialize, anyway, she stayed in Shanghai for a long time, next time I made an appointment with him, after the two separated, Jiang Yao went back to the hotel for a nap.
Zhou Qianze came to Shanghai, Jiang Yao was not mistaken, he came to attend the wedding of his brother Zhao Yunchuan, but he didn't expect to bump into Jiang Yao and a man chatting and laughing so happily.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of jealousy, just like that, without warning, he was jealous of that man, could it be that Jiang Yao left him because he liked this man? What did Jiang Yao like about him? And why did she get so embarrassed and go to jail abroad? How the hell has she been in the past few years?
A series of questions and speculations were stuffed in his chest, and his mood was complicated, so overwhelming and upset that he couldn't guess the answer.
Zhou Qianze dialed Fang Yuan and asked Jiang Yao about the work arrangements and hotel room number for his business trip to Shanghai, and then he spoke: "Contact Jiang Yao's landlord, arrange to replace the furniture and kitchen hood in her room, and then arrange for another person to go to the small courtyard where I live to pick a few flowers every day and put them on the vase in her room, and don't move anything else."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Okay, Mr. Zhou"
This boss is...... Are you in love? In the past few years, he has been working without sleep and food, and there is not a single female fly around him, and the boss is working harder than him, and now he has finally opened his mind.
Shanghai City at night, the lights are bright, and the paper is drunk.
Zhou Qianze went to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai to attend Zhao Yunchuan's wedding banquet, and he and Zhao Yunchuan chatted in the guest lounge before the wedding banquet began.
Zhou Qianze lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, and slowly spoke: "Jiang Yao is back, and she is also in Shanghai."
Zhao Yunchuan didn't react a little: "Who?" Ginger...... Jiang Yao? ”
He hadn't heard this name from Zhou Qianze for a long time, and he thought that he would never hear this name and think of this person in his life.
At that time, Zhou Qianze and Jiang Yao were together for a long time, so they brought her over to play and introduced them to each other, Zhou Qianze said that this was his girlfriend, and asked them to take good care of him, they smiled and never cared, thinking that they were no different from the women before Zhou Qianze, just acting on the spot, and did not think that Zhou Qianze would marry Jiang Yao.
Naturally, a son like them from a wealthy family with a prominent background could not marry a wife at will, but then Jiang Yao suddenly left him for some reason.
He was still depressed and sad for a while, and then he had a car accident and needed emergency rescue, which frightened everyone.
After recovering his body, Zhou Qianze worked hard day and night like a nobody, and his career expanded rapidly at the peak, and everyone thought that he had forgotten Jiang Yao, a woman.
Zhou Qianze shook his head, choked up a little, and said: "I found that she has changed and doesn't seem to have changed, she always feels different, she has a lot of things on her mind that I can't understand and can't guess."
The Jiang Yao who loved him with all his heart didn't seem to exist anymore, but now he only felt that Jiang Yao was like a different person, cold and alienated.
When people experience drifting apart, it always seems that both sides have changed.
Someone knocked on the door, signaling that the groom was about to appear with the bride, Zhao Yunchuan got up and patted Zhou Qianze's shoulder, and sighed helplessly: "Brother, don't be too obsessed", closed the door and left, leaving Zhou Qianze alone in the room smoking a cigarette.
Zhou Qianze felt that he was not obsessed with Jiang Yao but obsession, an obsession that he couldn't let go of in his life.
Jiang Yao woke up and put on makeup and cleaned up and took a taxi to the dinner, in the huge and luxurious box, there were several middle-aged leaders and customers sitting at the round table, they talked about elegance, financial markets, capital and society, Jiang Yao was a little unable to interject, so she simply ate quietly beside Gu Wei.
After three rounds of drinking, someone at the table jokingly asked Jiang Yao to toast one by one to show the sincerity of cooperation, which was high-purity craft liquor.
Jiang Yao didn't drink well and had stomach problems, so she gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Wei in embarrassment, hoping that her top boss could help make a round, but she didn't expect Gu Wei to pull her to stand up, laugh and say: "Xiao Yao, hurry, toast to the leaders and bosses, everyone, I'll have a toast first", Gu Wei shook the wine glass and touched Jiang Yao with his elbow, his eyes hinting that she should hurry up.
Jiang Yao's face was pale, she took a deep breath, poured wine hard, saluted one by one, and after a circle, her head had begun to dizzy, and she staggered when she walked, and those bosses still wanted to continue pouring wine on her.
"Miss Jiang, I heard that you have good work ability and beautiful people, have you ever thought about jumping ship to our company, the treatment must be better than your current one?"
"Mr. Wang, you drunkard don't mean to be in the bar," the man echoed.
Another person accosted him, with a lewd smile on his face: "That's it, Mr. Wang, I'm afraid I don't want to secretly hide Jiao, hahaha"
After this round of ridicule and jokes, Jiang Yao only felt disgusting and uncomfortable, so she found an excuse and ran to the bathroom and called Xu Mozhi: "Where are you now?" Can you come to the private room to pick me up later?"
Xu Mozhi was in the bar at the moment, holding the long-legged beauty in his arms, and the poor signal and the deafening music made him unable to hear what Jiang Yao was saying.
