Chapter 3 Hongmen Banquet
Xiao Yun is a very beautiful girl, and she is the girlfriend that Mo Jiangnan has known for three years after graduation, and this is also the only girlfriend he has grown up so much. In fact, he looks good, he is smart, although he can't be said to be very handsome, but he is very attractive, many female classmates used to think that he was the most attractive when he was thinking quietly, but male classmates unanimously thought that he was pretending to be deep.
Just because Mo Jiangnan doesn't like to talk much in front of girls, he didn't fall in love when he was in college, because girls are always rare, at least not more than in TV dramas. For this reason, he gives people the impression that he is a very honest person, but some of his friends don't think so, they think that Mo Jiangnan just doesn't like to talk much.
Recently, he has been feeling very bad, because Xiao Yun's attitude towards him has become very strange, and the two always seem to be absent-minded when they are together, and always try to avoid him. Such an attitude made it difficult for Mo Jiangnan to find the feeling of being in love, as if he had suddenly lost something, but he didn't dare to say it abruptly, he was very afraid.
So today, Xiao Yun's initiative to invite him was extremely excited, and the doubts he had had before disappeared in a moment.
After waking up from his fugue state, Mo Jiangnan immediately put down the things in his hand, cleaned up the room briefly, and then prepared for the evening date, he had to clear all the obstacles between his Xiao Yun tonight.
Arrange it properly, night has been falling for a long time. In fact, Mo Jiangnan is a very simple person, and it didn't take much time to do all this, but he muttered for a long time when he was changing clothes, because he didn't seem to have any clothes in his hands.
If it was usual, it would be okay, but Xiao Yun told him that today is the birthday banquet of the son of the chairman of Honglin Group, and they are all characters at the top of the pyramid, and he can't be too ashamed. However, those clothes that can be used are extremely expensive, and the price of one piece can add several pieces to Mo Jiangnan's collection, and he can't see where the price is when he dies.
As for how Xiao Yun knew the people of Honglin Group, Mo Jiangnan was very puzzled, he thought that Xiao Yun was helping him build a bridge, after all, being able to enter a large enterprise would be of great benefit to future development, at least better than in the research institute. However, he has no plans to leave the research institute, although the Honglin Group also has an industry that needs to develop new technology materials, but he feels that the research institute is specialized in research after all, and it is more suitable to realize his dream or the soil here.
When he went out, he went to pick up Xiao Yun, and after meeting, the feeling that there seemed to be something between the two people made Mo Jiangnan very depressed, and every time they met during this time, he wanted to ask Xiao Yun directly what was going on, but he didn't ask, he thought that if there was really something, the other party would have to say it sooner or later, so he kept using cold treatment.
Xiao Yun is very beautiful tonight, a night dress makes Mo Jiangnan stunned, delicate and beautiful, and thousands of styles, while being amazed, he also feels the distance, it seems that the girlfriend in front of him flew to the sky all of a sudden, but he opened his mouth on the ground like a toad and was stunned, she was so out of reach.
Suddenly, he was terrified and thought, maybe there was a huge level gap between Xiao Yun and himself, as if he had become a person from two worlds, why was he suddenly so strange after a few years of getting along?
"Let's go, it's late."
Xiao Yun smiled, and that look made him secretly amazed.
He shook his head hard and threw away all the nonsense. This is very dangerous, he deeply knows that two people can't get along with suspicion, losing sincerity is equivalent to losing love, and being together has no meaning.
"Okay, let's go."
"Jiangnan, what's wrong with you today?"
"Maybe I slept too much today and was a little confused."
……
Although he thought of the chairman's son's wealth, when they took a taxi to the villa, Mo Jiangnan was still slightly shocked by the luxurious residence, it was simply a castle!
Seeing this, Mo Jiangnan had a feeling of uneasiness again, and he was inexplicably hostile to all this. They were welcomed in by a man who seemed to be a butler, and the inside was even more magnificent, as large as a royal palace. He thought depressedly, when did China have a family like the rich man in ancient times? From the manor to the servant, it's all available.
There are a lot of people, all of them are well-dressed and have the word "talented" written on their faces, and their bearing is extraordinary, and their every move is full of elegance and nobility, which is absolutely different from the vulgar people. Mo Jiangnan thinks that his education is not too low, but he still looks like a rough man in front of these people, if he wants to pretend to be like these elegant people, he will definitely be tired to death after a while, it seems that his demeanor and education are not as inevitable as Mo Jiangnan imagined, and he has to rely on more chaos.
Looking at this group of people younger than himself, Mo Jiangnan felt that he had missed out in his life.
"Jiangnan, let me introduce you."
Xiao Yun led him to a handsome guy with a warm leaf. This person is half a head taller than Mo Jiangnan, and he is well-dressed and well-proportioned, young and exudes a calm atmosphere, coupled with that glorious handsomeness, it feels like the protagonist of those teenagers who despise the world in the shopping mall described in the novel, and he doesn't need to read a book for more than ten years like Mo Jiangnan to have natural wisdom.
"This is tonight's birthday star, Hong Tiansheng, he likes people to call him Hong Gongzi." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
Mo Jiangnan's heart sank suddenly, and he saw the familiar smile again, but it was not for himself. The smile was fleeting, and he couldn't catch any special feelings, so he blamed himself for being cranky and stretched out a hand to the handsome guy.
"Mo Jiangnan."
"Hello, Xiao Yun always mentions you, and I saw you today." The handsome guy smiled heartily, "Our Honglin Group is very short of talents like you, do you consider me here to show your strength?" I won't do you any wrong. ”
"Wherever you are, it's just a random gangster."
Mo Jiangnan heard that something was very wrong, as if Xiao Yun was more familiar with him than himself.
"You have to think about it seriously," Na Hong Gongzi still smiled and said, "You and Xiao Yun can walk casually, tonight is a gathering of celebrities and celebrities, you also find a chance to get to know each other, I will be temporarily absent, please forgive me for not taking good care of me." ”
After a few more pleasantries, Hong Gongzi left. Mo Jiangnan couldn't help but sigh, if he was so tired on his birthday, there would be no fun at all, it seemed that a person's status was directly proportional to his dedication. Some people say that having more friendship is also a burden, but Mo Jiangnan doesn't think so, how many real friendships are there among these people, and real friendship will not be just superficial.
The scene of the party was full of young people, but Mo Jiangnan felt that he couldn't fit in, and Xiao Yun wanted to pull him to meet "celebrities" He also refused, saying that he wanted to sit alone, so Xiao Yun was not reluctant, and ran to talk and laugh with a group of young girls, as if they were very familiar with each other.
When did Xiao Yun have such a circle? Mo Jiangnan thought that he had to ask carefully when he went back.
Just when Mo Jiangnan was sitting bored, a person walked up to him.
"Hello, can you get acquainted?"
Mo Jiangnan looked at that person with some astonishment, about twenty-five years old, dressed in a casual gray suit, neat short hair, the expression on his face was a little casual, a little lazy, and he didn't have the deliberate elegance of those "celebrities", just like saying hello on the street.
"Mo Jiangnan."
"Oh, my name is Li Shan, and this is my business card."
"This ...... I don't have a business card. ”
"It's okay, it's just a name printed on it."
Mo Jiangnan took the business card with a smile, and was surprised at first glance, it turned out to be the chairman of Gaofeng Company, a large company in the metallurgical industry, a multinational corporation that has purchased several mines abroad. Although there is no Honglin Group in the metallurgical industry is huge, but it can be regarded as a giant, the chairman is still so young, in Mo Jiangnan's opinion, this is also a magical like the protagonist of the novel, he and he are not even the stones at the foot of Mount Tai.
"It turned out to be a giant in the metallurgical industry, and it was disrespectful."
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's all because our old man is lazy, and he threw all his belongings to me and got away with it."
Mo Jiangnan also smiled, it turned out that this young boss was not so difficult to contact.
"Where is Brother Mo going to high school?"
"I'm just a researcher, from the Materials Research Institute."
"Oh? He's a high-tech talent. ”
"Where, it's just an assistant."
Li Shan didn't mind the identity gap between Mo Jiangnan and him at all, which made Mo Jiangnan very comfortable, whether it was true or false, it was very rare, not to mention that he was a research assistant and there was nothing worthy of a boss's hypocrisy.
"What hobbies does Brother Mo usually have?" Li Shan asked, in his opinion, a research assistant has little chance to make friends with these people in the field, unless they have some common hobbies and make friends.
"I don't have any hobbies, I like to collect things in my spare time."
"Collection? I like this too, what do you collect? ”
"Some ancient weapons and other things, I smiled, I can't get much from this little networth."
"No, net worth is not the most important thing, the most important thing is eyesight and luck."
So the two like-minded young people chatted heartily, and it didn't take long for them to become brothers. Li Shan said that his grandfather also had a hobby of collecting antiques, so he was edified, and he was half a professional, and even more familiar with historical materials than Mo Jiangnan, while Mo Jiangnan was simply interested in his own professional aspects.
The conversation was very pleasant, and Li Shan gradually learned some things about Mo Jiangnan, knowing that he was very obsessed with academics, and felt that this person should be a good friend, so he had the heart to solicit, but Mo Jiangnan always refused.
Unconsciously, the party has come to an end, and the people are gradually gone.
It was Xiao Yun who brought Mo Jiangnan and the two of them back to reality from the conversation, they looked up and found that there were few people at the scene, and when they saw Xiao Yun and Hong Gongzi coming together, Mo Jiangnan was about to say goodbye to Li Shan.
"Okay, my girlfriend is calling me, let's talk another day."
Li Shan nodded and didn't speak, just looked at Hong Gongzi, who came with Xiao Yun.
"Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Prince Hong."
"Where, Brother Shan can come to give me face."
The two young talents were greeting, and Xiao Yun walked in front of Mo Jiangnan and took his hand.
"Jiangnan, I'll have something to say to you later."
"Oh, okay, then Li Shan, you go first."
Li Shan's eyes looked back and forth between Hong Gongzi and Xiao Yun, then blinked, patted Mo Jiangnan's shoulder with a smile and said, "Then I'll go first, Jiangnan, I have a chance to talk about it again in the future, you can call me for anything." ”
"I will."
……
"Jiangnan, let's break up."
It was the end of summer and early autumn, outside the luxurious villa, there was no cold wind at this time, but in Mo Jiangnan's heart, it had already cooled sharply to the cold winter. Still holding Xiao Yun's soft little hand, he didn't feel warm.
"What?"
He began to hope that his hearing was wrong.
"Jiangnan, I don't think we're suitable anymore, let's end it like this."
Come to an end? Mo Jiangnan suddenly stopped thinking.
"Gangnam, Gangnam?"
Mo Jiangnan then remembered that he was still in a strange place, he thought hard, trying to figure out what was going on now, he felt that all the sounds and scenery around him were so unreal, like bubbles, they would disperse with a light blow.
"Why?" Mo Jiangnan finally asked.
"Why?" Xiao Yun repeated softly, turning her head to avoid Mo Jiangnan's gaze, "We are not suitable, you can't give me what I want, I don't want to live like this, Jiangnan, don't ask again, you will find a better one than me." ”
"What exactly do you want?"
"Don't ask, you just treat me as a girl who loves vanity."
"You're not! I understand you, you're not ......"
"Don't say it, I am!" Xiao Yun didn't seem to want to give Mo Jiangnan a chance to speak, "I called you here today to let you know that I have someone else, I hope you can die, he is the young master of Honglin Group, Hong Tiansheng." ”
Mo Jiangnan stared at him and stopped talking, and at this time, Hong Gongzi came over from the side and stood with Xiao Yun.
"You used to love each other, but now she loves me." Hong Gongzi said imposingly, "As a man, you should give a woman what she wants, your ability is limited, give up." ”
Still didn't speak, Mo Jiangnan nodded slowly.
In terms of appearance, family background, money, and status, the son in front of him is countless times stronger than himself in every aspect, and it seems to have quite a connotation, and now even he thinks that Xiao Yun should follow this handsome guy to be more promising, and he is simply sorry for others.
He felt that this truth was very correct, and now his thinking was very clear, so he could understand it for a while. It's just that what puzzles him is that people say that falling out of love is painful, why doesn't he have that unforgettable feeling now? Xiao Yun is his first girlfriend, and the relationship for several years can be separated so easily, it is indeed love!
Mo Jiangnan twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, turned around and left, he didn't see the tears welling up in Xiao Yun's eyes.
"Is it really good to hurt him like this?"
"Only in this way will there be no mud and water, things will always have to be solved."
Hong Tiansheng's voice was a little cold.
