Two days later, Liang Zhaoyue received the car.
A very ordinary Volkswagen, even if she drives in and out of school, she will not be noticed, let alone cause others to discuss.
It was also the day I received the car, and it snowed in Beicheng.
Heavy snow covered the whole city, and everywhere it was white, and everywhere the cold wind was howling.
Liang Zhaoyue sat in the car, the warm carriage completely isolated her from the cold and biting outside world, and she no longer had to catch the subway against the cold wind.
While enjoying this warmth and convenience, she was thinking about how to thank Zhou Yunchuan.
I'm afraid it probably took him a lot of thought on how to arrange a car for her.
Just as she was racking her brains, a phone call from her mentor Zhao Yun helped her solve this problem.
The project of Austrian Science and Technology to acquire Huanshi Technology has been in full swing, and now it is the negotiation period between the two parties on the purchase price.
These days, Liang Zhaoyue has consulted a lot of information about the two companies from various sources. Because Austrian Technology is a listed company, the form of acquisition will involve a new share issuance, so its acquisition is inseparable from the role of investment bank and brokerage. To Liang Zhaoyue's surprise, the securities company that served as the independent financial adviser for the acquisition turned out to be Yinhai Securities, and the project sponsor was Lu Ping.
On the way to Yunhe Capital, Zhao Yun told her about some precautions on the project, and suddenly, he changed his voice and asked, "This car is yours?" ”
Liang Zhaoyue moved out of the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago: "Relative, I have been living at a relative's house recently, and he is afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to go to and from class, so he arranged for a car for me to drive." ”
Zhao Yun was very emotional when he heard this, "Your relative is quite good." ”
She was in a trance for a moment and replied softly, "He's really good." ”
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Yunhe Capital, and the person who came down to pick them up was Xu Mingheng.
While greeting Zhao Yun warmly, he winked at Liang Zhaoyue from time to time. At first, Liang Zhaoyue was still a little unaccustomed to it, but after many times, she felt that Xu Mingheng was very improper, obviously the same age as Zhou Yunchuan, he did not have that sense of maturity and stability, on the contrary, he gave people a kind of carelessness.
At this meeting, Zhou Yunchuan was having a meeting with Yinhai Securities, Xu Mingheng briefly explained the content of today's meeting, took a laptop and materials from the front desk secretariat, and took the two to the conference room.
There were more than 20 people sitting in the huge conference room, both men and women, all in suits and leather shoes, looking at the black pressure in the past, which invisibly gave people a sense of tension. The meeting was briefly halted for about ten seconds because of their arrival, and after they were seated, it went on as usual.
Zhou Yunchuan at work, his expression was even more indifferent and serious, he didn't do anything when he sat there, just asked questions about work unhurriedly, but it made people feel oppressive inexplicably.
The meeting went on in an intense and orderly manner, and after an hour, it finally ended.
The big meeting is over, but the small meeting of several important high-level people has just begun.
The high-level meeting was held in another conference room, Liang Zhaoyue helped Zhao Yun move notebooks and materials, and met Lu Ping, who also helped his boss move notebooks and materials, on the way, he joked: "Zhaoyue, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become my Party B." ”
Liang Zhaoyue said: "Master, the person who really participated in the project was my teacher, and I just helped out." ”
Lu Ping said: "You are still modest. ”
While speaking, Zhou Yunchuan and his party walked in.
Liang Zhaoyue raised her head, and saw him walking in front at a glance, as if she was aware of it, he also looked at her, his eyes were extremely calm, he stayed on her for a few seconds, and then moved away, as if nothing happened.
Liang Zhaoyue hurriedly exited the conference room, and Lu Ping followed behind her and said, "Do you have time, let's have a cup of coffee together?" ”
Thinking of Lu Ping's care for herself before, and it was because of him that she could know Zhou Yunchuan, Liang Zhaoyue said, "Master, I invite you." ”
"Okay, I can't ask for it."
The two left with a smile, and Xu Mingheng, who was sitting in the conference room, happened to see this scene outside the glass window, and said to Zhou Yunchuan: "I think Lu Ping admires Liang Zhaoyue a lot, and then think about how he helped her before, wouldn't it be interesting to the one in your family?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan was unmoved, and flipped through the information in his hand.
Xu Mingheng snorted and said, "Don't care, beautiful and capable girls are very popular." ”
Zhou Yunchuan put down the information, lifted his eyelids, glanced at him, and for a while, his gaze crossed him and looked at the glass window behind him.
In the corridor and aisle outside, colleagues came and went, the pace was in a hurry, and there was still Liang Zhaoyue's figure.
Zhou Yunchuan said to Jiang Bai on the side: "Prepare for a meeting." ”
This meeting lasted a little longer, as long as an hour and a half, and at present, the negotiations between Austrian Technology and Huanshi Technology have different opinions on the purchase price and how to acquire it, and everyone feels that they have suffered a big loss and have been tug-of-war.
At the end of the meeting, it was already bright outside, but fortunately, a result was finally discussed.
Other high-level executives left one after another, Zhao Yun took the materials and was about to leave, Xu Mingheng glanced at Zhou Yunchuan and said, "Teacher Zhao, let's drive you back to school." ”
Zhao Yun said: "Don't bother you, my student drove over today." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Mingheng looked at Zhou Yunchuan again.
The latter and the director of investment and M&A were discussing the issue of financial modeling, and they didn't bother to take care of it at all.
Xu Mingheng cut his voice and sent Zhao Yun back to the 36th floor to meet Liang Zhaoyue, and then enthusiastically sent the two to the parking lot on the first floor, and after watching the car leave, he returned to the 37th floor.
Zhou Yunchuan was still in the conference room, but he was the only one, and the director of investment and mergers and acquisitions was nowhere to be found.
At this point, he was staring intently at the computer screen, occasionally typing a few words on the keyboard.
A rigorous and selfless work state.
Xu Mingheng watched the meeting, closed the door of the conference room, walked over, and said, "Let's arrange a Volkswagen for a good time?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan didn't raise his head, his eyes were still staring at the screen, and said: "With her past situation, now she suddenly drives high-priced vehicles in and out of the campus, which has a bad impact on her." ”
Xu Mingheng was happy, sat down at the conference table, and said, "This is what you care about?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan didn't reply.
He pondered for a few seconds, leaned over, and asked ambiguously, "Didn't you say that day that I would invite Zhao Yun to be a consultant?" Why did you later say that you would go to Beicheng University in person, you wouldn't have done this kind of thing before. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yunchuan was finally willing to look away from the screen and look at him.
Xu Mingheng spread his hands, looking very innocent: "Don't look at me like that, isn't this the truth?" Didn't I mention that the instructor of your family was Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was the M&A consultant we were going to invite."
His last voice suddenly turned, and he frowned and said, "You can't change your mind because of this, right?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan still didn't speak, because he didn't know how to reply.
He originally had other arrangements that day, but after learning that Zhao Yun was Liang Zhaoyue's mentor, he changed his itinerary.
Xu Mingheng is not in a hurry, expecting this dull character to open his heart to you, it is better to believe that he Xu Mingheng will rule the entire earth in the future.
"Did you hear what I told you last time?" Xu Mingheng said with concern, "As soon as Liang Zhaoyue saw your eyes, they were about to stick to you." ”
Zhou Yunchuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he finally reacted a little, Xu Mingheng expected him to say something, but unexpectedly, he heard him ask: "How did you feel when you came to my house before?" ”
??????
Xu Mingheng felt a flock of crows floating overhead.
Zhou Yunchuan said: "You have been there so many times and you don't feel anything? ”
Xu Mingheng was confused: "How can you feel?" It's as clean as a model room, far worse than my kennel. ”
"Really?"
"So what's not? I ......"
Xu Mingheng's words came to his lips and he swallowed them back stiffly, staring at Zhou Yunchuan for a while, he was puzzled: "Why do you suddenly ask that?" Who asked you that? Liang Zhaoyue? ”
Zhou Yunchuan's eyes shone slightly, obviously guessed.
Xu Mingheng instantly became energetic, "How does she feel?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan thought of Liang Zhaoyue's answer, smiled lightly, and said, "She said that she felt at home." ”
Xu Mingheng wrinkled his eyebrows, full of questions: "That's what she said?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan hummed and said, "You also think it's incredible?" ”
He nodded and said, "It's incredible that someone like you can make her think like this." ”
Zhou Yunchuan was noncommittal.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang, and the screen showed that Liang Zhaoyue was calling.
Xu Mingheng glanced at it, got down from the conference table, and said as he walked towards the door: "When I sent her downstairs just now, she asked me what time you got off work, and I really couldn't stand that you had been working overtime, so I casually said the time." ”
After speaking, he didn't give Zhou Yunchuan a chance to speak, and he immediately left the conference room.
The door closes, and the room falls silent.
The mobile phone was still ringing, Zhou Yunchuan looked at it indifferently for a while, and after a while, he raised his hand to close the laptop, then picked up the mobile phone and crossed the call button.
-
In the few minutes that Zhou Yunchuan was waiting to go downstairs, Liang Zhaoyue's mood was extremely uneasy.
Although he knew his off-duty time tonight from Xu Mingheng, when he called him, Liang Zhaoyue was actually ready to be rejected.
Especially in the first ten seconds, there was no one on the other end of the phone, which confirmed her guess.
Disappointment was inevitable, but she wasn't so disappointed, and just as she was about to give up, someone suddenly answered on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Yunchuan's low and slightly tired voice came slowly from the earpiece.
He said, "What's wrong?" ”
A very familiar phrase.
She clenched her phone tightly and asked in as soft a voice as she could, "Are you off work?" I would like to treat you to dinner and thank you for the car you arranged earlier. ”
There was silence for a long time, so quiet that only the friction of electricity was heard.
Liang Zhaoyue waited quietly, waiting for a response.
After a long time, he asked lightly, "Where are you?" ”
For no reason, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm in the parking lot on the negative floor of Block A of the Financial Building. ”
In other words, she was downstairs in his company.
He was silent for a while, and then there was a faint sound of rustling on his side, like the sound of tidying up things, Liang Zhaoyue was wondering, and heard him say, "I'll go down in three minutes." ”
Hearing this, the nerves she had been tense were finally relieved a lot, and her tone became relaxed: "You take your time, I'll wait for you." ”
He hummed faintly.
This concludes the call.
The corners of Liang Zhaoyue's mouth just pursed, and then she remembered something, and she lowered her head in annoyance.
She just said I'll wait for you?
Yes, I said.
But Zhou Yunchuan didn't seem to react.
There was only a simple "um".
Liang Zhaoyue was entangled again, did he listen to it? How do you feel about it?
She didn't know that there was no peace in her heart.
Just when she was secretly speculating, Zhou Yunchuan came down.
I have to say that he is a person with a very good sense of time, and if he says three minutes, it will definitely be no more and no less.
At half past eight in the evening, most of the car in the garage had already left, and Liang Zhaoyue's parking position was conspicuous, and before she could get out of the car to greet him, Zhou Yunchuan had already come to the car.
He stared at the car for a moment, walked around the body, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and got into the car, and then fastened his seatbelt.
It's a one-way action, without the slightest hesitation.
Liang Zhaoyue was shocked.
Zhou Yunchuan saw that she didn't react, and asked, "Don't you want to eat?" ”
She hummed, picked up her mobile phone, and pretended to be calm: "I found a few, I don't know what flavor you like, I'll send you WeChat, you see which one you want to go to?" ”
Zhou Yunchuan opened the WeChat on his mobile phone and clicked into Liang Zhaoyue's chat interface. There were three restaurants she had sent, and he clicked in and out, scanning the names of each restaurant one by one, and soon he found something.
All three restaurants are precisely to his tastes.
There are two that he even frequents.
He looked up at Liang Zhaoyue from the screen of his mobile phone, and his gaze was a little meaningful for a while.
At this time, he remembered what Xu Mingheng said, and then slightly connected with Liang Zhaoyue's subtle reactions every time he got along with him, and an answer was about to come out.
How many years older is he than her, and he has been immersed in shopping malls all these years, and has dealt with all kinds of people, and he knows exactly what others think. It wasn't that he hadn't seen her mind before, but he didn't care much about it and didn't delve into it.
In his opinion, it is just a matter of a paper contract, and it is a very simple thing to break up when it expires, and it is not complicated.
But now, looking at the restaurant information that has obviously done his homework, Zhou Yunchuan has to start to face Liang Zhaoyue.
Face up to the affection she hides behind this subtle movement.
Liang Zhaoyue was stunned by him.
He glanced at it lightly, but the eyes were clearly full of elegance, and the gaze was extremely deep, as if he was about to look into her heart, and saw her completely, so that she could not hide.
Under his gaze, all her thoughts were completely hidden.
After asking Xu Mingheng about his time off work, she called Meng Anan again to ask him about his dietary preferences.
I learned that Zhou Yunchuan's diet was light, and there were two restaurants that he frequented in Beicheng. After Liang Zhaoyue thought about it for a while, she found a restaurant of similar grade and added it, and then sent it to him together for him to choose.
She knew that this little bit of caution was not enough to see on his side, he had been galloping in the mall for many years, what kind of people had never been seen, what kind of calculations had not been appreciated. He must have seen it first-hand.
What she wanted was how he would respond when he saw it.
will expose her, so that she can not cross the line for herself; Or be silent to the end and give her decency.
After learning that his attitude towards feelings was to pick out and refuse, Liang Zhaoyue thought for a long time, instead of sitting back and speculating about his mind again and again, it was better to take the initiative and fight for a little initiative.
Anyway, the worst outcome is to return to the original position, be a "husband and wife" in the eyes of others, and then wait for the one-year contract to expire, sign a divorce and part ways.
I plan to do so in my heart, but if I really take practical action, I will inevitably be terrified.
At the end of the day, she was ready for the worst, but she still hoped that the god of luck would favor her.
The atmosphere was stiff for a while.
Zhou Yunchuan stared at her for a few seconds, his eyes were extremely calm, and something inexplicable was quietly landing.
In this unbearable silence, Liang Zhaoyue heard him say, "The first one." ”
The voice is very weak, with helplessness and connivance.
Liang Zhaoyue's hand holding the steering wheel clenched in vain.
Zhou Yunchuan said that the restaurant is called "Fisherman's Lights", and Meng Anan said that this is the one he frequents the most, and he goes alone every time.
She pretended to be calm and said yes, then picked up her phone to set up navigation.
The car drove out of the underground parking lot and drove to the ground, and Liang Zhaoyue found that the snow had become smaller and fell from the air in small pieces.
The sky is full of snow, and the street lights are yellow, bright and warm.
On the streets, pedestrians come and go, all lively.
Such an ordinary scene, she alone does not know how many times she has seen it.
For the first time, she had someone by her side, and this person was still what she longed for.
Liang Zhaoyue thought, no matter what the outcome would be in the future, where would she and him go, and when she thought back to this day, she must remember his momentary indulgence.
connived at her approach, acquiesced in her greed.
