Sitting on the second floor of the tea restaurant, looking at the hollow carved screen, Liang Zhaoyue lost his mind for a moment.
The tea is fragrant and the surroundings are extremely quiet.
Zhou Yunchuan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her, seeing that she was staring at the screen, he didn't hide it, and directly revealed his hole cards: "My friends and I ate at this table that night." ”
The implication couldn't be clearer, it wasn't by chance that I met her downstairs that night.
To be more direct, I'm afraid he listened to her conversation with her parents word for word.
Liang Zhaoyue's pupils dilated, a pair of clear and beautiful eyes lost their former brilliance, and all that was left was loss.
But she recovered quickly, and after a moment she held the teacup, looked at him, and said, "I guessed." ”
The first few times they met, his indifference and detachment were obvious, unreasonable, and suddenly he became interested in her.
If there is, it must be that she has what he wants.
Is it feelings?
Not necessarily.
Zhou Yunchuan was somewhat surprised by her straightforwardness and cleverness, and while surprised, he felt that his vision was really good, and he chose her in the vast sea of people.
Talking about trade with smart people saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, and since Liang Zhaoyue spread out the conversation, he didn't beat around the bush anymore, and went straight to the point, saying: "I can help solve the problem of house ownership and tuition fees that you are facing now." ”
It turned out that the phrase he said that night - "If there is a need, I can help", this is what he meant.
Liang Zhaoyue pursed her lips, her hand held the teacup tightly, trying to snatch a little warmth from the cup, but it was in vain, and after struggling for a while, she asked, "What can I do for you?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan once again admired her cleverness.
He said: "I think Ms. Liu Yitang has told you about me more than once. ”
She nodded, "She said you gave her a headache." ”
He smiled, the smile was shallow, helpless, and like a compromise, Liang Zhaoyue didn't understand, but then he explained her confusion: "She's old, it's okay to have such a headache all the time, I want her to be at ease for a while." ”
Temporality.
A very interesting word, Liang Zhaoyue rubbed the teacup with her fingertips and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan's eyes narrowed, stared at her for a while, and said unhurriedly: "Get married." ”
Liang Zhaoyue thought about many possibilities, but she didn't expect such an answer.
Her voice was almost astringent, and she asked directly, "Is this too much price?" ”
"Will it?" Zhou Yunchuan was careless, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be smaller, "Finding a temporary girlfriend can't reassure her, only a piece of paper can make her feel down-to-earth and won't be cranky." Furthermore, if there is a way to do it once and for all, why take a detour? ”
It seems that he had already thought about it, and then found her.
Liang Zhaoyue pursed her lips and asked, "Am I the first person you are looking for?" ”
After asking, her hands were shaking a little.
But she wondered if she was his thoughtful or resigned.
Although there is no difference between the two, he is looking for a partner on both sides and left.
Zhou Yunchuan frowned, as if he didn't expect her to ask this, and then loosened it out again, and said, "I decided improvisedly in the car that night." ”
No wonder he brought her home and prepared a table of Cantonese refreshments.
Liang Zhaoyue suddenly had nothing to ask, all the stories returned to the original point, she asked, "Can you help me solve the problem of the house?" ”
He nodded: "You don't need to come forward, you only need to provide information, and I will explain to someone to deal with it for you," after speaking, he paused, and then said, "In addition, I can also help you solve the things you want to settle down in Beicheng." ”
She didn't react at once.
The corners of Zhou Yunchuan's lips curled slightly, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and made a call in front of her, "Bring the things." ”
A short time later, a man in a suit and leather shoes came to their table, handed them a brown paper bag, and hurried away.
Zhou Yunchuan stretched out his hand, pushed the brown paper bag in front of Liang Zhaoyue, and said, "Look at it, if there are any questions, you can ask them directly." ”
Liang Zhaoyue looked at him as she opened the brown paper bag and took out the documents inside.
It is a marriage agreement, or more precisely, a gift of divorce property.
Liang Zhaoyue carefully browsed twice, not letting go of every ambiguous word, and when she put it down again, she was only shocked in her heart.
This is an agreement that anyone who reads it will feel like pie in the sky.
She couldn't help but ask again: "Do you have to get married?" Isn't that too high? ”
Zhou Yunchuan looked calm and relaxed: "Is it high?" ”
Yes, for a rich man like him, a mere gift of tens of millions of divorced property is nothing. The money that can't be earned in a lifetime in the eyes of others is probably the level of sprinkling water in their eyes.
After thinking for a long time, Liang Zhaoyue asked the last question: "Why me?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan raised his eyebrows, and a pair of gloomy eyes looked straight into her eyes, and he said: "Between saving trouble and trouble, I don't think anyone will choose the latter." ”
This is the same as what he said earlier about once and for all.
Since there is the most convenient way to solve the problem, which can be achieved overnight, why take more detours to find trouble for yourself?
At this moment, Liang Zhaoyue really saw his true colors as a businessman.
She thinks that she is worthy of being a figure who can call the wind and rain in the financial private equity circle in just a few years, and she pays attention to judging the situation and taking a sense of proportion.
Whether it was the chips he gave, or based on his own thoughts about him, no matter from which point of view, Liang Zhaoyue didn't seem to be able to find a reason to refuse him.
What's more, this is the only direct way for her to intersect with him.
The most important thing is that he took the initiative to find her.
In an instant, the mind turns a thousand times, sometimes in the clouds, sometimes in hell.
After a long time, I finally returned to the ground, back to this moment.
Liang Zhaoyue didn't hesitate any longer, took out a black ballpoint pen from her bag, looked at him, and asked, "Can I sign it now?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan looked at her fixedly for a while, his eyes were full of elegance, and after a while, he said, "You can mention it again if you have the conditions." ”
"No," Liang Zhaoyue turned to the last page of the agreement, and said while signing, "The beneficiary of this agreement is me, and I will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob again." ”
After saying that, she closed the agreement, handed it to him, and said, "I've signed it." ”
Zhou Yunchuan was slightly surprised that things were going so smoothly, took the agreement, looked at it, dialed the phone, and said to the person on the other end: "Bring the ink clay." ”
Two minutes later, the man who had just delivered the documents reappeared, this time with ink.
Soon, it took less than a minute to sign and press the handprints, and an agreement was negotiated.
Zhou Yunchuan handed her a copy, and then said: "This is my assistant, his name is Jiang Bai, he is fully responsible for the terms of the agreement, and he will contact you if there is any problem." ”
When his words fell, Jiang Bai handed over a business card in due course.
Liang Zhaoyue took it and looked at it, and put it in her bag along with the agreement.
After talking about things, it was already half past six, and they were originally going to have a meal together, but Zhou Yunchuan received a phone call, and there was temporary work in the company that he needed to go back to deal with, so he had to give up.
He said, "Jiang Bai will send you back later, and he will pick you up at school tomorrow morning." ”
Then I went downstairs and left.
Liang Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Bai on the side and said, "Assistant Jiang won't trouble you to send it, I'll go back by myself." ”
Jiang Bai said: "Miss Liang, don't embarrass me. ”
No, Liang Zhaoyue could only let him send it, and when he left, he packed food and went back by the way.
Jiang Bai said that it was ordered by Zhou Yunchuan.
All the way back, she was in a trance, and when she arrived at the north gate, she remembered something, she asked Jiang Bai: "I forgot to give something to Mr. Zhou, can you wait for me here for a while?" I'll go back to the dorm to pick it up. ”
Jiang Bai thought for a moment: "I'll go with you, so you don't have to make an extra trip." ”
Liang Zhaoyue had no objection.
Back in the dormitory, Song Yue was watching a drama, and when she saw her back, she asked, "Do you want to go out to eat together?" ”
Liang Zhaoyue said: "I'll pack it and bring it back, you eat first, I'll go downstairs to deliver something." ”
She opened the cupboard, found a picture tube inside, put it in a paper bag, and left the dormitory.
When she arrived downstairs in the dormitory, she handed over the painting to Jiang Bai and said, "Please give him this painting, thank you." ”
Jiang Bai said: "Okay, is there anything else that I need to convey?" ”
Liang Zhaoyue thought for a while and said, "I have class tomorrow morning, and I won't have time until after ten o'clock, so please tell Mr. Zhou." ”
Jiang Bai nodded and left.
She didn't rush upstairs, she stood downstairs for a long time, until there was a burst of talking on the campus road not far away, and it was almost time for evening classes, she came back to her senses, turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.
Back in the dormitory again, Song Yue smiled and grabbed her shoulder: "I saw it!" Is it the man? ”
Liang Zhaoyue was stunned, looked at the balcony, and stood there to see the entrance and exit of the dormitory building.
She said a little unnaturally, "No, I just asked him to help deliver something." ”
Song Yue was a little regretful: "It looks like it's quite elite, don't you like it?" ”
Liang Zhaoyue hurriedly opened the takeaway box and said, "Don't talk about this, let's eat first, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Weak heart! You are a typical weak-heartedness! ”
Liang Zhaoyue smiled and didn't speak.
-
The next morning, before going out to class, Liang Zhaoyue checked the contents of the file bag.
I brought my ID card and household registration booklet.
She closed her bag and set off with Song Yue to the classroom.
After the class, she said to Song Yue: "I have something to go out, what do you need to bring when you go back, tell me on WeChat." ”
Song Yue didn't doubt him, thinking that she had found another part-time job, and said: "Bao, remember to tell me if you are in a hurry, don't go out to work part-time every day, take care of your body." ”
Liang Zhaoyue smiled at her: "I will consider what you said." ”
When he arrived at the north gate, Jiang Bai was already waiting in the temporary lane next to him.
Liang Zhaoyue eased her breath and walked over to him, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the car, which was empty.
Jiang Bai opened the door of the rear seat for her, and said at the same time: "Mr. Zhou is still in a meeting, and he will arrive ten minutes late." ”
Liang Zhaoyue understood: "It's okay, I have nothing else to do in the morning, you can wait." ”
She said thank you and bent over to sit in the car.
After arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, seeing that it would take some time for Zhou Yunchuan to come over, Liang Zhaoyue took out her iPad to make up the unfinished notes in class.
This machine was bought by her sophomore at a second-hand trading platform, and after a few years of use, despite her care, the entire screen and system have been a little old.
The problem of page freeze is often encountered, this will, Liang Zhaoyue took a pen that was also found in the second-hand market, and pointed to the screen to write, but he couldn't write anything.
She tried patiently, but it still didn't work. Shut down and restart, still no effect.
She is a little helpless, can't this machine support her until she graduates from graduate school next year?
She took the pen and swiped across the screen, not moving.
It seemed that she couldn't, and she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
When Zhou Yunchuan came in, he saw such a scene.
She sat in the waiting area with her knees together and an iPad on it. She lowered her head and wrote on the iPad screen with a pen, looking serious, but there was a bit of powerlessness in the seriousness.
Jiang Bai saw him and was about to speak, he shook his head first, Jiang Bai got his order and silently stepped aside.
Zhou Yunchuan quietly walked to Liang Zhaoyue's side and bowed his head slightly. After looking at it for a moment, he finally understood where her helplessness was coming from.
The iPad is on strike.
But she tried over and over again, tirelessly, as if she didn't give up.
There is no impatience, there is just endless patience.
He couldn't help but think of the night he first heard her name.
Xu Mingheng complained to him on the phone that the interns brought by Lu Ping really drank and died, and poured them in cup by cup, just to get the entertainment fee of 300 yuan an hour.
is obviously very short of money, but when Xu Mingheng proposed to buy the painting in her hand with 400,000 yuan, she refused.
Last night, I asked my assistant to bring him the painting.
What a contradictory person.
Seeing that she turned on and restarted again, and the iPad still didn't respond, Zhou Yunchuan spoke out at the right time: "It's our number." ”
Hearing his voice, Liang Zhaoyue raised her head and looked at him for a while before hurriedly putting away her iPad and getting up, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you arrived." ”
He didn't care and asked, "Did you bring your documents?" ”
She nodded: "I've brought it all." ”
As she spoke, she was about to leave with him, but Zhou Yunchuan stopped.
She was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
He couldn't help but look at her, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "You still have a chance to regret it." ”
Liang Zhaoyue shook her head: "There are no regrets." I think very clearly. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yunchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that it was really interesting.
In the past, every time a transaction was negotiated, it was always the other party who hesitated, and he was always the one who had no regrets.
This is the first time, in a negotiation where he is correct, he has become the hesitant side, and the decisive and resolute side is Liang Zhaoyue, who is in a weak position.
Thinking of this, he felt a slight sense of helplessness, a sense of overturning his fate upside down.
But the feeling was fresh for a while, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Decide on a temporary, simple transaction, and the control is always in his hands.
He glanced at Liang Zhaoyue and walked towards the service desk.
Suddenly, there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him.
In the afterglow, in the position behind him, Liang Zhaoyue lowered his head and followed step by step.
