In the evening, Cheng Yubai entertained important customers at the state banquet at Qianmen, and asked the other party to come forward and act on his behalf, so as to make the neutrals change their minds. During the banquet, Xiao Qi went out and put two vases in the trunk of the customer, and the driver called over the phone, and the guests were happy, both of which were suitable.

Sending away customers, Cheng Yubai smoked at the door, the industry is full of people who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, it's not enough to give gifts, a meal today, a table of dinner tomorrow, stirring up the stomach upside down.

Xiao Qistuff pills were given to him, and he was not in a hurry to eat them, he was coiled in the palm of his hand, and the medicine powder was crumpled to pieces. Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Xiao Qi saw him get up and clap his hands and strode back to the hotel.

Liao Yifan was talking to Gu Yan, when suddenly a hand was pressed on his shoulder, and the force between his palms was not small, which caught him off guard, and his body was crooked and almost fell. Cheng Yubai also pretended to be kind and gave him a shoulder support: "It's really a rare thing, I haven't seen you come to a state banquet for so many years, and the sun is coming out in the west today?" You're here to eat too? ”

Liao Yifan smiled slightly: "It's just around here." ”

"Next time I come to say hello in advance, I'll tell the boss, there is a reserved VIP box to entertain friends, how can you let people sit in the lobby?"

Liao Yifan's face is a little hot, the state banquet is of high grade, and it must be booked in advance, if it wasn't for the temporary decision to invite Gu Yan to dinner, how could he come here? came and came, and happened to meet Cheng Yubai, a ghost-faced demon.

"It doesn't matter, friends get together, it's the same wherever you eat."

"It seems that they are very close friends." Cheng Yubai glanced at Gu Yan next to him, "Don't you introduce me?" ”

Liao Yifan had no intention of greeting, Gu Yan saw it, and spoke first: "Hello, I'm Gu Yan." ”

A business card was handed over, and Cheng Yubai raised his eyebrows. Gu Yan had already heard of the name of a scoop of drink, and it was only the first time he saw the gold swallowing beast deity, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.

A young man who looks clean, with short hair, sharp eyebrows, and a sense of transparency in his facial features. With a cigarette between his fingers, the smell of wine was smoking, and there was an unknown smile floating in his eyes, he gathered up the sense of transparency little by little, and looked no longer distinct.

The man who has crawled past Vanity Fair has an indescribable taste between the lines. He put his hand on the back of Liao Yifan's chair, flipped over the business card, and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.

"By the way, the results of the Moguan Cup have been announced...... Cheng Yubai leaned over to Liao Yifan, his voice was extremely low, "Congratulations, the treacherous plan has succeeded." ”

Liao Yifan was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan also guessed that the two old classmates were going to say something considerate, Gu Zi took the menu, and his eyes received a place.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's not the first time you've calculated me, there's no need to play tricks. Do you think I can't get out of the way to clean you up, or do you think she's a fool who can be a gun for you? Cheng Yubai thought of those years, and was amused and annoyed, "I said why every time I just had a little trouble with her, I immediately turned off the fire, it turned out that there was a big-tailed wolf like you behind to make waves." Liao Yifan, everyone is an adult, it doesn't matter if you play tricks, but it's a bit too much to play on me every time. ”

Liao Yifan glanced at Gu Yan again, his body moved, he wanted to get up, he didn't want to have too much force on his shoulders, he wrestled with him, tried a few times, but he didn't let him get up at all.

His face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Cheng Yubai, you let go." ”

Cheng Yubai hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, public places won't make you too ugly, but when it comes to this, you might as well say a few more words to remind you, walk too much at night, be careful of reaping the consequences." ”

Liao Yifan still looks innocent.

Cheng Yubai smiled angrily: "Others don't know, can I still not know that you are two pounds?" Is Akiyama your thing? ”

Liao Yifan was really forced to be anxious this time, and pushed his hand back, Cheng Yubai let go at the same time, and both of them took half a step back. Cheng Yubai bit his cigarette, waved at him, and shook his steps out, looking at the back, what a handsome boy.

Gu Yan put down the menu at the right time and said to Liao Yifan: "You are rivals in love?" ”

Liao Yifan's face was expressionless: "Do you look like it?" ”

"Not really."

"Who doesn't like that?"

"Looking at Xu Qing's style, neither of you nor her are all the way."

Liao Yifan smiled: "She is not an easy person to befriend. ”

"Am I?"

When it came to the topic, Liao Yifan no longer covered it up, and said to himself: "In a few days, the Moguan Cup will be awarded, according to the regulations, the previous champions have priority to join the Chunyuan Porcelain Association, but if the relevant company wants to issue a resume report, I need you to sign it for me." ”

The main consideration of this report is character, and what the direct leader says is particularly important.

"Dare to love that today's meal is a Hongmen banquet?"

"Gu Yan, we did have a lot of unpleasant places in the past, and our position is like this, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, only we will not be eternal enemies between us."

Gu Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, the one, two, and three groups were opposed, she, the director, was roasted on the fire, one was the champion of the Moguan Cup, and the other was the hand-picked designer of the Sishitang, what is she? Bearing the false name of the director, waiting to be pulled off the horse.

"What's in it for me to help you?" Gu Yan said, "After all, with my current market, the next director will not be my turn, I will go to Xu Qing, for the sake of helping her a few times before, she may not be able to keep me staying, and you?" If you lose, won't I have a little way out? ”

The significance of the Sishitang is far greater than the Moguan Cup, as long as you are not a fool, you know who to stand at this time. Liao Yifan was not too surprised, and threw out a sentence lightly: "If you can catch it, will you be able to keep it?" How can you be sure that the hundred-year-old order of the Fourth World Hall will definitely fall on Luo Wenwen's head? ”

Gu Yan looked stunned and smiled slowly.

"Liao Yifan, I'm pretty sure now that we can be friends."

Entering November, the weather was suddenly cold, Cheng Yubai pretended to sleep in the car for a while, blowing a cool breeze to dissipate a little alcohol, and said quietly before getting off the car: "Who is that Gu Yan?" ”

Xiao Qi also saw Liao Yifan and Gu Yan outside the window, and smacked all the way with his business card, but he still didn't have a clue, so he said: "It's familiar, it seems like I've seen it somewhere." ”

"Think about it."

When he passed, he vaguely heard Xu Qing's name, although he didn't know what they were talking about, but he didn't feel good, his stomach hurt all the way, and it burned all the way, and a layer of sweat appeared on his back, and Cheng Yubai's face was as white as a ghost.

Xiao Qi suddenly remembered something: "I once saw her in the association, and her face was not very good at that time, as if she had cried. ”

It's even harder.

"Check her up and see what they want to do."

Luo Wenwen had previously approached him about the cooperation of the No. 7 space station, and later replaced Xu Qing to dock, and he probably knew the relationship between the three groups. Liao Yifan is very picky, how can he go to the state banquet at Qianmen if it is not an important lawsuit? The two of them were tired at first glance.

Cheng Yubai sat for a while, holding his stomach and getting out of the car slowly. Before the man could stand firm, a figure rushed forward. The dark light was blinding, it was almost terrifying, Cheng Yubai instinctively stepped back, hit the car door, and his stomach hurt even more.

The man seemed to realize something, and he stopped his feet, two or three meters away, Cheng Yubai looked over, and a thin monkey-like figure was shadowed under the sheep's horn lantern.

"Zhao Qi?" He discerned.

"It's me." Zhao Qi took two steps forward at this time, and when he got closer, Cheng Yubai saw that he was only wearing an old T-shirt and a pair of sandals on his feet, one of which was half broken, and most of his feet were exposed.

His cheeks were red, his lips were colorless, and his body was trembling.

On an November day, it was only a few degrees at night, and I don't know how long he waited here. Cheng Yubai hurriedly fished him up: "Let's go, go inside and talk." ”

"No, no, I'll say it here."

Zhao Qi trembled and took out a prescription, the prescription was kneaded into a ball and flattened, and now the handwriting is blurred, and I don't know how many times it has been rubbed back and forth. Zhao Qi stared at Fang Zi for a while, his expression was slightly indifferent: "I tried, it can be done, it can really be done, it is very close to the color I want." How do you do it? I've tried this recipe before, but I didn't expect it to be in this ratio, I, I'm ......" he muttered repeatedly, "Why can't I?" Why can't I try it? ”

He doesn't seem to be in very good shape, as Lao Zhang said, he seems to have wrapped himself in. Cheng Yubai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It's windy outside, go to the garden to sit, there is a warm room inside, drink some tea to warm up." ”

Zhao Qi looked at him, and his footsteps involuntarily followed. Cheng Yubai gave Xiao Qi a look, Xiao Qi understood, and after boiling the hot tea, he walked quickly to the back workshop.

Cheng Yubai settled Zhao Qi and sat down, opened the cabinet and took out a piece of tea cake, and started to talk easily: "You don't have to think about it, you try this glaze by chance, pure crush is luck." ”

"When? I mean, when did you try it out? ”

"I've been trying it for the past few years, and it was not long ago that I found two ancient recipes, so I had a new idea."

Zhao Qi seemed to have found support and breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that there was an ancient recipe to help. He is measured, but he didn't open his mouth to ask the ancient recipe, after all, he is more than a competitor in the industry, a recipe seems simple, but what it represents is the ability to look at the house, and many times antique innovation is the way to play.

But even so, it is not easy to try out the glaze color that was not on the market before in a new idea, and there is no way to find the law without a thousand attempts on ingredients and proportions. Thinking of this, Zhao Qi couldn't help but be discouraged: "You don't have to be modest, this kind of thing has little to do with luck, maybe only you can do it." ”

"You and I have different styles, I pay attention to scientific methodology, I lack the feeling of the heart, in this point, no one can compare with you, as long as you always listen to the feelings of the heart, one day you can try it."

"Someday? Isn't six years enough? Where the hell is this day? Zhao Qi stared at Fang Zi's word, with a desolate look on his face, "You don't have to make up for me, if you can't do it, you can't do it." ”

He returned the recipe, Cheng Yubai glanced at it, and he was not in a hurry, he slowly crushed the tea leaves and brewed them before pushing the recipe back.

"You ......"

"What has been sent, how can there be any reason to take it back?"

"But I ......" Zhao Qi stared at the white finger marks on the square, in fact, every word had been engraved into his mind, but he still said, "I have no merit and no mercy." ”

"You took it, and that's the biggest credit to me."

Zhao Qi was puzzled, and at this time, Fang smacked out something unusual. As he said, he tried out the glaze not long ago, why didn't he borrow Lao Zhang's hand to send the recipe to him until Lao Zhang came to the door? Zhao Qi looked at this recipe now, and suddenly felt hot.

"I won't ask for it, you don't have to say anything." He got up and walked out, Lao Zhang was right, Cheng Yubai was physically and mentally eyed, and he was definitely not a good person. When interacting with such people, you must pay attention to whether there are any traps in every word. He followed Cheng Yubai into the house, holding the prescription back and forth, has he fallen into his net?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi blew out like a gust of wind, came to the door, and heard Cheng Yubai's painless voice: "Zhao Qi, the market changes rapidly, every year there are new people coming out, there are new works coming out, six years, Jingdezhen has absorbed millions of ceramic people, they are at the forefront of the world, leaving you far behind." Do you dare to try to ask yourself? How many people still remember the genius who won the award for rookie works at the age of eighteen? Cowering alone in the corner, to put it nicely, it's distraction, and to put it ugly, it's complacent, and if it goes on like this, how many six years do you have? ”

"I ......"

"You can never go forward, but what about your family? Do you want your daughter to grow up and see a father who lives like a rat in a stinky gutter? ”

Zhao Qi's body stiffened.
