After a few years of Xiaoli's business, she saved a large amount of money, and she didn't tell anyone, including her parents and sister.

As for how to use this money, in principle, it is still necessary to invest in business, and she has not yet thought about what to do, so she can only take one step at a time and wait for better business opportunities.

Xiaoli has not been in a good mood recently, and needs to calm down for a few days, seriously consider the plan to get rid of the little queen, and rarely go out to communicate with others.

When she was about to get off work, Xiaoli received a call from her best friend, invited to a party, she came to the agreed hotel on time, and saw her best friend standing on the steps beckoning, she walked forward quickly.

The two said a few polite words, and the best friend pulled her up to the second floor, and a well-dressed man greeted her warmly, and the best friend introduced him and said; "This is what I often tell you about my best friend, Xiaoli."

She pointed to the man again and said to Xiaoli; "This is my boyfriend Feng Anqing."

Feng Anqing immediately looked at Xiaoli with a smile on his face and said; "I have heard his name for a long time, but I have not seen him. She said many times that you are very beautiful, the two of them are doing business together, and they met today, and they really live up to their reputation, fortunately, fortunately. ”

Xiaoli looked at Feng Anqing, dressed in a light gray suit and a dark blue tie, humble and elegant without losing her demeanor. He is more than seven meters tall, not fat or thin, well-proportioned, bronzed skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified appearance, a standard beautiful man.

Xiaoli shook hands with him and said; "It's over, don't be so polite."

Xiaoli looked at her best friend and said; "You hide it deep enough, such a sunny boyfriend, you have never dared to show it, for fear that others will rob you?"

The girlfriend pushed Xiaoli and said with a smile; "Look at what you say, you're kidding. I'll let you check it today, and you will give me a staff officer. ”

Xiaoli said; "You're making fun of me, what a good boyfriend, how dare I judge me, otherwise, you'll eat me."

Feng Anqing followed behind the two, talking and laughing into the hall, the three of them walked through the crowd, sat down next to an empty table, and the girlfriend beckoned the waiter to come over, asked for three drinks, and spoke; "Tonight, Feng Anqing, a few old classmates who haven't seen each other for many years, have a party here, and specially invite you to participate, no other meaning, just to let you come out and relax. We all know about you and Xiao Wang, you must be very annoyed in your heart, staying at home alone, afraid that you will be sick. ”

Xiaoli said; "Thank you. You know, I don't like to be with strangers, how awkward it is for them to come after a while, and it is not to leave or stay. ”

The girlfriend said; "Don't dwell on it anymore, are you going to leave? Now that you're here, you'd better be a guest. ”

At this time, several men and women walked into the hall and stood at the door to look at the crowd, Feng Anqing glanced at it and said; "Here they are."

He stood up and waved to a few of his classmates, who came over with a smile.

Feng Anqing said to his old classmates; "You are really not keeping your word, and you are not keeping the promised time. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still the same at school, I don't think you can change. ”

A chubby male classmate smacked Feng Anqing's chest and said; "Old classmate, the original sloppy look is gone, and now I'm cleaning myself up neatly, did you let your girlfriend train me?"

The fat man looked at Xiaoli and his best friend and asked Feng Anqing; "Who are these two beautiful ladies? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Feng Anqing introduced his girlfriend, looked at Xiaoli and said; "This beautiful lady is my girlfriend's best friend."

Xiaoli greeted politely, and at this time, Feng Anqing said to a few classmates; "There are a lot of people here, and there is no place to sit, I have booked a private room, let's go in now."

At the dinner table, Feng Anqing chatted with a few classmates, all reminiscing about the school. Xiaoli couldn't interject, she felt that it was not interesting to stay any longer, so she ate a few bites of food casually, said hello to her best friend, said it, and left the private room alone.

Xiaoli came to the hall, took a chair and sat down, and looked at the people coming in and out boredly. Thinking of doing business with my girlfriend in the past few years, the cooperation between the two sides is quite good. Girlfriends are born with a business mind, responsible, courageous, and careful, thinking about Xiaoli in everything.

Xiaoli has a very good cultivation and never quarrels with others, once when she was shopping, she accidentally touched something in the hands of the person next to her, she quickly picked it up and apologized, but she didn't expect that person to be a bastard, did not accept her apology, his mouth was not clean, and he was scolding.

When the best friend saw Xiaoli being humiliated, she angrily stepped forward to fight for her, and quarreled with him loudly with that person, who saw a crazy woman who was more mixed than him, put on a menacing look, and saw that the situation was not good, and walked away.

Afterwards, her best friend complained to Xiaoli for a few words, thinking that she was too weak, and in the face of unreasonable people, there was no need to be so polite, as long as she dared to go back bravely, the other party would definitely be cowardly.

Xiaoli agrees with her best friend's words in her heart, but she can't do it, she has been educated by her parents since she was a child, as well as her own cultivation, and when she encounters unreasonableness, she can't roll around with her hair and fight poison with poison, which she seems to be unable to do anyway.

Although my best friend's words are a bit too radical, this is the reality that cannot be avoided, and forbearance is definitely not the best way to solve the problem.

How many years have her best friends been in the society, and the experience she has summed up, she told Xiaoli with her actions; Dealing with some "garbage" in society and solving problems cannot be done by civilized means.

Xiao Li used to think about other things to pass the time, a familiar figure flashed in front of her eyes, and did not attract her attention, the figure suddenly stopped, turned around and kept staring at her, Xiao Li felt that this person was really strange, how did she keep looking at herself, when she raised her head and looked at each other, Xiao Li shouted in surprise; "Zeng Zhiyuan, why are you?"

Zeng Zhiyuan also said loudly; "Oh my God, it's really you, Xiaoli, I didn't expect to see you here."

Xiaoli approached Zeng Zhiyuan and said; "My home is in this city, do you think it's strange to see me here?"

Zeng Zhiyuan suddenly realized and said; "Look at my brain, let the worms eat it, and forget about this stubble."

Xiaoli asked; "I heard that you went abroad, when did you come back?"

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "I just came back, I flew directly from Los Angeles to China, and I didn't even go home, I landed directly in Lingnan, which is the first stop."

After Zeng Zhiyuan graduated from university, the old professor told his father's secretary about his son, and it didn't take long for the results to come true, and the professor's son's family returned to the city smoothly.

About two months later, Zeng Zhiyuan got a visa to a certain country, studied for a master's degree in business for two years, and stayed to work in a large technology company abroad.

In the past few years abroad, Zeng Zhiyuan has completely changed, and Xiaoli is almost unrecognizable. During the college period, he disappeared without a trace, spoke kindly, and was polite between his feet, like a gentleman.

Xiaoli said; "Since graduation, I haven't seen you again, this time I came from afar, I should do my landlord's friendship, today's meeting was sudden, and now the treat is a little hasty, don't be surprised."

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "You're welcome, someone has already arranged it for me."

Zeng Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and continued; "Old classmates see each other, it's more important than anything else, you wait a minute, I'll go and push off the dinner."

Zeng Zhiyuan turned around to leave, but Xiaoli hurriedly called out to him and said; "Don't leave yet, listen to me, people have already arranged it, it's too rude for you to push off the dinner, it's really not good, you should go to socialize, I'll wait for you in the hall."

Zeng Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said; "Otherwise, let's go in together, isn't it just an extra pair of chopsticks and an extra chair."

Xiaoli said with a smile; "This is absolutely unacceptable, the person who invited you is either a friend or a customer, there must be something important to discuss, and I am not good to participate. I'll go to the lobby and find a seat, and when you're done socializing, come back to me, what do you think? ”

Zeng Zhiyuan thought that this method was good, so he agreed, and he repeatedly told Xiaoli and said; "Don't go, you must wait, I'll go socialize, I'll be here soon."

Now is the peak of dining, and the dozens of tables in the hall are already full. Xiaoli found the restaurant waitress and told her; "If there is a spare table, can you notify me first?"

The waiter said politely; "There's a table for people and the meal is about to end, please wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she brought a chair and asked Xiaoli to sit down and rest for a while, and when the table was cleaned up, she came over to invite her.

When Xiaoli was waiting for a vacant seat, her best friend was looking for her everywhere, and her best friend came to Xiaoli and said; "You've been out for a long time, why don't you go in? I thought you were leaving without saying hello. ”

Xiaoli said; "What do you think of me, it's rude not to tell you to leave. Feng Anqing was talking about things between classmates, and I couldn't interject, sitting there like a fool. ”

The girlfriend said; "Since that's the case, if you really don't want to stay if you go in and eat something, then say hello to them and leave the table early."

Xiaoli said; "What you said makes sense, then let's go in and say hello to them, you won't be upset when I'm gone, right?"

The girlfriend said; "You're too careful, what is the relationship between the two of us, I won't take this little thing to heart."

The two of them returned to the private room, and after a few whispers between his girlfriend and Feng Anqing, he stood up and politely sent Xiaoli to the door.

Xiaoli returned to the hall of the loose table, and the chair just now was already occupied, so she had to stand next to it. After a while, the waiter of the restaurant came over, led Xiaoli to the empty table, and said politely; "Sorry to keep you waiting. Our hotel has a policy that customers who dine with us and wait for a long time can enjoy a 20% discount. ”

Xiaoli said; "Thank you! There's another person who hasn't come, and I'll order food when he comes, okay? ”

The waiter said; "Okay, when someone arrives, please let me know, okay?"

Xiaoli asked the waiter; "Do you have fine tea here? If you have one, make me a pot, don't bring it now, and when the meal is ready, take two more delicate cups. ”

Xiaoli waited patiently for nearly an hour, Zeng Zhiyuan came, sat down and said; "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Zeng Zhiyuan noticed that there was nothing on the table, looked at Xiaoli and said; "Why don't you serve food? I've already eaten it, and you're still waiting for me? ”

Xiaoli smiled and said; "Old classmates who haven't seen you for many years, if you don't come, you will serve food, that is too rude."

Zeng Zhiyuan patted his head and said; "I just returned to China, and the jet lag hasn't been reversed, so I don't know what to say anymore, which makes my old classmates laugh."

Xiaoli looked at Zeng Zhiyuan and said; "Don't pay attention to what your classmates talk to. By the way, I should treat you to a big dinner, because the time is too rushed, there is no private room now, plus there are customers to entertain you, this meal can only be barely done, you can't say I'm stingy. Tomorrow I will give you a grand reception, find a few people to accompany you, and the time is up to you. ”

Xiaoli beckoned the waiter over, she handed the menu to Zeng Zhiyuan, and said; "Zeng Zhiyuan, I have been abroad for a few years, I'm afraid I can't eat authentic Chinese food, so today it's up to you to order and pick up your favorite food. Although the conditions in the hall are simple, the food is not casual, and hopefully the environment will not affect your appetite. ”

Zeng Zhiyuan looked at the menu and said; "I coped with a few bites in the private room, and I really wasn't hungry, so I'll just order two dishes and accompany you to eat more."

Zeng Zhiyuan handed the menu to Xiaoli and said; "You also order two of your favorite dishes, do you want to add two more beers, what do you think?"

Xiaoli took the menu, put it aside, casually reported two local specialties, ordered a few bottles of beer, told the waiter, and said; "There's beer, let's go back from the tea I just ordered. Can you urge the kitchen to serve us faster. ”

After the waiter left, Xiaoli asked Zeng Zhiyuan about studying and working abroad. Later, talking about some things after graduation, Xiaoli asked; "Are you coming back this time to visit relatives or on a business trip?"

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "The company appointed me to return to China to develop business, the schedule is very tight, there are a lot of customers to meet, there are a lot of things to do, and I will fly to the next city tomorrow night."

Zeng Zhiyuan paused slightly, looked at Xiaoli and said; "Since graduation, we haven't been in touch again, and we don't know your situation, so casually ask, how are you doing?"

Xiaoli said; "Life and work are very good, in addition to work, I also do a small business, and I have nothing to do at home to accompany my parents. What about you? How have you been abroad in recent years? ”

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "It's funny to think about those things. At that time, I was young and vigorous, I didn't understand anything, and I thought it was the same as in China. After going abroad, I realized that it was not as easy as I imagined, and I had to rely on myself for everything, and no one would help you. When I first arrived abroad, I suffered a lot in life. After about a year, I slowly adapted and learned to live independently. ”

Xiaoli said with a smile; "No wonder I didn't even know you when I saw you just now. In the past few years abroad, you have indeed changed a lot, temperament, demeanor, speech and demeanor, you have simply become a different person, not like you I met at school. ”

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "I'm a big believer in the power of the environment to change people, and I'm a living example of that. I think of the years in college, relying on my family background, my sense of superiority is bursting, I have done those ridiculous things, and hurt the feelings of some classmates, and now I regret it when I think about it, and I can't even forgive myself for my stupidity. ”

Xiaoli looked at Zeng Zhiyuan in front of her, and suddenly had a feeling of traveling through time and space, thinking of Zeng Zhiyuan in college, as if they were two people living on two parallel lines. One is arrogant and unreasonable; One is gentle and polite, which one is the real Zeng Zhiyuan, who confused Xiaoli.

Xiaoli knew that the immaturity, ignorance, ignorance and arrogance of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old would be crushed by the annual rings of civilization.

Zeng Zhiyuan looked at Xiaoli and said; "Would you like to ask me a question that I want to know and don't think I should ask?"

Xiaoli realized what he was asking, her face flushed slightly, and said; "You can ask, you can ask any question. Old classmates, why have they become so rusty now, so polite, like strangers. ”

Zeng Zhiyuan said; "Okay then, I'll start asking, have you found a partner? If so, can you find an opportunity to introduce me? ”

Xiaoli had already guessed that Zeng Zhiyuan was asking about this, although she was prepared in her heart, she still felt a little sudden, and she didn't think about how to answer.

Zeng Zhiyuan saw that she didn't speak, and then said; "It's rude to ask about your private business. The moment I saw you, I was curious, and it drove me to know something about you. If there is any abrupt rudeness, please forgive me. ”

Xiaoli said with a smile; "Well, there's a chance for you guys to get acquainted. I can guarantee that you two will become good friends. ”

Xiaoli then asked rhetorically; "Tell me about your girlfriend, she must be beautiful, right?"

Zeng Zhiyuan laughed when he heard Xiaoli finish speaking, and said; "She is also from Shengjing, and she is also studying abroad, and we haven't known each other for a long time, about half a year. It's not nice to talk about, but you can generally see it. She's ...... compared to you, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

Zeng Zhiyuan's half-cut words, Xiaoli couldn't understand it better, this is comparing her with her girlfriend, although there is something inappropriate, she is not good at what she is saying.

Xiaoli heard from his words that Zeng Zhiyuan's love affair with her still can't be forgotten, which surprised her.

How many people in the world are trapped in a love word, no one is a saint, can overcome the hurdle of friendship, family affection, and love.

Family affection and friendship may not be long-lasting, but the pure soul collides and sublimates, not bound by material desires, two people who belong to each other, come together because of love, even if they encounter storms or stormy waves, they can embrace each other for a lifetime, until the old age is barren,
