I achieve financial freedom by rewarding myself

"Yeah, I can't remember anything else, I just remember that you like to drink plain milk tea."

While talking, Xu Li looked at Wang Shang's face and said with a smile: "Everything else has changed, but the shape of the face still hasn't changed much."

Wang Shang smiled slightly, "Aren't you too."

Xu Li laughed, "That's true."

Both of them grew up with relatively...mature faces, so even after seven or eight years passed, after undergoing a major change in puberty, the faces of the two still remained in the general shape of that summer, without much change.

It was precisely because her appearance hadn't changed much that Xu Li called Wang Shang tentatively just now on a whim, so that the two... old friends who hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years could meet again by fate.

I have to say that sometimes looking mature is not without benefits.

"Why are your buttons always gray?"

Wang Shang took a sip of milk tea, looked at the girl opposite and asked curiously.

This doubt has haunted him for many years, and he would think of it from time to time. Now that he has met, Wang Shang really wants to know the reason.

That summer, their relationship developed rapidly.

It can be said that the two of them are no different from boyfriend and girlfriend, they are just short of a formal confession to pierce the window paper!

But Wang Shang was rejected because he confessed to Hongying for the first time, so even if he felt that Xu Li was interested in him, he didn't dare to confess for fear of being rejected.

If Wang Shang looked at it now, he confessed that Xu Li was [-]% successful, because Xu Li was also interested in him.

It's just that Wang Shang was shocked by Hongying's failure at that time, and he didn't dare to take the step of confessing easily.

So the two continued to flirt.

If there is no accident, after a long time, and the mutual affection is too hot, then one day Wang Shang can't help but confess, so the two walk together and start a shy puppy love.

But no if, in that summer, just a few days after the end of the semester, one day after dinner, Xu Li suddenly called and told Wang Shang that she was going back to her hometown of Jiangsu to study in high school.

Xu Li is not from the local area or even the province. Her family is from Jiangsu. Wang Shang knew this, but he never thought that Xu Li would leave so soon.

When Xu Li said that she was waiting for him at the gate of their school and that she had something important to say to him, she would wait for Wang Shang until ten o'clock in the evening.

Wang Shang knew clearly that at that time he already had a premonition that Xu Li might confess to him.

He was very happy and excited at the time.

However, Wang Shang had already returned to the town at that time, and he didn’t have a car to go to the county seat at night. At that time, Wang Shang was just a kid in the first year of high school in the countryside. The distance from the town to the county seat was like heaven and earth that night. The distance was so far that Wang Shang didn't dare to say "I will be there" in the end. Facing Xu Li's waiting, he could only express the deep helplessness in his heart in silent silence.

That night, Wang Shang kept looking at his phone until ten o'clock in the evening.

Then Xu Li sent Wang Shang the last QQ message, saying that she had gone back.

But Wang Shang could only look at the news of Koukou lying on the bed at home with heartache, and looked at the phone Koukou in silence for a while.

That night, for the first time, Wang Shang deeply felt the reality mentioned in this animation movie ([-] Centimeters per Second), like a gap, blocking him and Xu Li, so powerless.

Since then, Wang Shang and Xu Li have never been in touch.

Because in Wang Shang's Koukou address book, Xu Li's Koukou never appeared again.

This... is what Wang Shang always wanted to know, why Xu Li's buttons lost their color.

"Knock it!"

Speaking of this, Xu Li also fell into a flash of memory, and then said with a smile: "After returning home, my mobile phone was confiscated by my mother, and I couldn't remember the password for the button, and some things happened later, so I didn't I've used buttons."

Something happened?

This is the key!

The button is missing the key to color.

Wang Shang thought to himself, although he was a little curious about what happened to Xu Li later, but Xu Li obviously didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask too much.

Again, they are different now.

Although it seems that we can talk about some past things when we meet again, only the past things make the two feel familiar.

What kind of two people they are now, they don't know each other.

The only thing I can feel is that many years later, I can see the person who had an ambiguous and sweet relationship again, and sit down and drink a cup of milk tea together as before, and the two of them are very happy.

"If I remember well, you should have graduated from college by now."

Xu Li waved the milk tea cup slightly with her hand, and looked at Wang Shang opposite with bright big eyes. She remembered that the boy was three years older than her, and she was only one grade older than her in school.

I am now in the first semester of my senior year, so Wang Shang didn't repeat a grade or anything, and he should have graduated from university for half a year now.

"Graduated." Wang Shang nodded, and then asked, "What about you, are you studying in Shanghai?"

"At Jiaotong University, I will graduate next year." After speaking, Xu Li joked, "You won't be studying in Shanghai all the time, right?"

If this is the case, it would be interesting. The two people they knew had studied in the same city for four years, and finally found out that the person everyone had been thinking about had been in the same city as them all along.

"No," Wang Shang shook his head and smiled, interrupting Xu Li's fantasy, and said, "I'm a university student in Guangdong Province."

"Guangdong Province... so far away!" For some reason, Xu Li felt a little bit of loss when she heard Wang Shang's answer, but she quickly let go of this bit of loss and asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing now?" Did you come to Shanghai to develop?"

Wang Shang shook his head and said, "No, my company cooperates with a company in Shanghai, so I'm here on a business trip, and I'll be back to Guangdong Province in a few days."

Hearing this, Xu Li said with a smile: "Then we are destined, we have met all of this."

Wang Shang also said with a smile, "It's a predestined relationship."

While drinking milk tea, the two chatted about some interesting things in school, they tacitly avoided the ambiguity between the two at school, and only talked about the interesting gossip they had seen and heard, and chatted about the things they knew together. the current situation of some people.

A cup of milk tea is quickly finished while chatting like this.

At the entrance of the milk tea shop, Xu Li said apologetically.Tonight, my friend invited her to have dinner. I don't have time. Wang Shang will come to Shanghai again on another day. She invites Wang Shang to have a meal.

Wang Shang said no problem, looking forward to it.

Then the two said "goodbye" to each other, and each left in the opposite direction of the other.

After this encounter many years later, the two chatted very happily, just like friends for many years.

But from the beginning to the end, the two did not ask about their relationship status, and both tacitly avoided this topic.

Because when they meet again, the two are no longer the youth they used to be. The ambiguity and sweetness of the past have long been washed away by time, leaving only regrettable memories.

Both of them now have separate lives.

It’s okay if both of them are in Shanghai, and they will still have a chance to contact each other in the future.

But one is in Guangdong Province and the other is in Shanghai.

There is no intersection between life, work and even mutual friends.

It can be said that after the two parted this time, it would be very difficult for them to meet again.

So this time the separation is likely to be the last one.

So neither of them asked each other for WeChat and phone calls.

Naturally, Xu Li's next appointment will always be the next appointment.

Wang Shang also understood, so he left without any hesitation.

However, the two, who thought it would be difficult to see each other again in this life, met again after more than half an hour.

I have to say that sometimes fate is so unreasonable.

Downstairs of an open-air restaurant on the Bund, Wang Shang and Xu Li met unexpectedly.

Wang Shang was alone, and beside Xu Li stood a beautiful woman who was as tall as her. At this moment, the beautiful woman looked at Wang Shang with hot eyes.

Don't think that only men look at women's bodies, and women also look at men's bodies.

Obviously, in terms of figure, although Wang Shang is not very tall, only about 1.8 meters, Wang Shang's figure is a perfect man's figure after the systemic transformation.

For some women, his figure is no less than an aphrodisiac, and every one is hot.

The beauty at this time is very hot!
"Wang Shang!"

"Xu Li!"

Wang Shang and Xu Li were surprised by the wonderful fate that they met again in less than an hour, and they were also a little bit of unexplainable joy.

It has nothing to do with love, it is the kind of feeling that pure friends meet.

"You are……"

"You are……"

The two said in unison again, and then both were taken aback.

Wang Shang smiled and said, "You talk first."

Xu Li hesitated for a while and said, "I...my friend asked me to have dinner at the restaurant above."

Hearing this, Wang Shang laughed again, and said, "It just so happens that I also came here for dinner."

Xu Li smiled when she heard the words, and shook her head lightly, very surprised by the fate of the two.

The two walked into the building and took the elevator.

Along the way, the beautiful friend beside Xu Li saw the interaction between the two and was full of curiosity.

Who is this handsome guy with such a good body that her body is hot?

It actually made my best friend change his mind temporarily, instead of saying that his boyfriend invited him to dinner, but that he became friends!
Could it be... the beauty dare not think.

But too curious.

The beauty is not the kind of person who can't hold back her curiosity. As soon as she entered the elevator, she shook her shoulder and touched Xu Li's body. She looked at Wang Shang with fiery eyes and said, "Introduction."

"Be serious." Xu Li, who knew the virtues of her best friend, gave a soft warning, and then introduced to Wang Shang with a smile: "Wang Shang, this is my best friend, also surnamed Wang, called Queen Yin."

"Hello." Wang Shang nodded lightly, looked at the beautiful woman next to Xu Li who was looking at her with fiery eyes and wanted to eat him in one bite, and instantly had a judgment in his heart, the beauty of his family was probably a queen.

At this time, Wang Houyin stretched out her hand, blinked, and said directly: "Hello, handsome guy."

"Uh..." Seeing the delicate palm stretched out, Wang Shang could only stretch out his hand and gently squeeze it. He wanted to close it at once, but in the end, the Queen of the Sea held his fingers and gently wrapped his palm. What's more, he doesn't understand how women in these big cities play.

But he has always stayed away from such high-ranking women.

So after shaking hands, they ignored Haihou's eyes.

Fortunately, Haihou also knew that this was not a good time, so she didn't pester Wang Shang.

The three of them came all the way to the entrance of the restaurant, all with reservations. Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them quickly came to the open-air dining area of ​​the restaurant.

"The boss is here."

Not far from the right was a large table for eight to ten people. Zeng Yanyan, who had been watching the door for a long time, saw Wang Shang at a glance, stood up and waved to Wang Shang.

boss? !
Still a rich second generation!
Hearing Zeng Yanyan's voice, and seeing Wang Shang's reaction, the corners of Wang Houyin's mouth rose slightly, and the tip of her tender tongue couldn't help but lightly twitch her lower lip.

It seems that we have met our opponent this time!

Thinking of Wang Shang's slightly at a loss when facing her hint in the elevator, Wang Houyin smiled inwardly.

"I'll go first." Wang Shang said with a smile to Xu Li, and then walked towards Zeng Yanyan and the others.

"En." Xu Li looked at Wang Shang's back, thinking of the boss just now, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Wang Shang is from a small mountain village in Guizhou Province. She knows how his family is like. She hasn't seen him for seven or eight years. How come he became a boss right after graduation?
Could it be that he is still a hidden rich second generation?

Curious about Wang Shang, Xu Li and her best friend walked to the table reserved by her boyfriend on the left.

"Hey... you guys are here."

Xu Li's boyfriend and one of his friends were sitting with their backs facing the door, so he didn't see Xu Li coming in just now, so he quickly stood up, asked his girlfriend to sit down, and started ordering food.

"You can order, I can do it." Xu Li sat on the outermost side, pushed the menu to her boyfriend, and glanced at Wang Shang who was sitting in the distance from time to time.

Wang Shang's position was also outside, just facing Xu Li, but he didn't pay attention to Xu Li's side at this time, so he didn't see Xu Li's gaze.

"Boss, I'll wait for your order." Across the table, Zeng Yanyan pushed the menu to Wang Shang with a happy face.

Zeng Yanyan, Zhang Li, Jenna, Bai Ying, there were four girls who came, and they were all sitting opposite to each other at this time, while Wang Shang, Chen Xiaodong and Ye Yonghui were sitting on the side.

Originally, Zeng Yanyan and the others wanted Wang Shang to sit with them.

But when he was away from home, Wang Shang was very cautious and did not sit with Zeng Yanyan and the others.

"You guys order, what you want to eat." Wang Shang said with a smile.

"What about you, Mr. Zhan?" Zeng Yanyan looked at Zhanna and Bai Ying again, and both women shook their heads, just let Zeng Yanyan and Zhang Li watch.

"So do we." Ye Yonghui and Chen Xiaodong said the same.

"Hee hee, then Lili and I will order." Zeng Yanyan was not polite, and ordered together with Zhang Li.

"How was the talk today?" Wang Shang asked Jenna, who was in the opposite position.

Jenna replied: "It's not bad, and we can basically negotiate in two days."

Wang Shang smiled: "That's good."

Jenna then asked: "Boss, do you have any thoughts about the anime surroundings?"

"Have you applied for all relevant patents?" Wang Shang asked.

Jenna nodded: "It's all applied."

Jenna looked at Wang Shang and said, "My idea is to authorize the relevant manufacturers, and not to participate in the production personally."

Domestic animation peripherals are mostly authorized, and almost none of them open their own factories to produce them. However, after the popularity of animation is enough, it is possible to buy shares in some factories to obtain more benefits.
