Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Mi Bei looked at Zhuge Qinuo's WeChat reply and felt a little at a loss.

Deng Qing was there these days, and he wanted to learn acting from her. He had clearly asked Deng Qing and the crew for leave to accompany her, but now he was not needed.

I took out my phone and scrolled through it out of boredom. Suddenly, I saw a video posted by a friend who was doing hip-hop in Shanghai. Suddenly, I felt enlightened.

I almost forgot that hip-hop dance also has a sub-team in Shanghai. I sent a WeChat message to invite someone. They have a performance today, so I quickly made an appointment to go tomorrow. This way, he really came to Shanghai for something, to meet friends!

Although the street dance party was tomorrow, Mi Bei suddenly felt energetic and had many things to do, so he quickly went out.

Zhuge Qinuo came to the floor opposite the hotel.

She was going to finish the previous discussion about the expansion of the art training sector. The failure to cooperate was a foregone conclusion. After all, all her current liquidity was partly lent to Mi Bei and partly put into her restaurant and bar. The remaining funds were not enough to support her to do any other larger project.

More importantly, after she decided to lend the money to Mibei, she had a new idea. Compared with using other people's brands and mature systems to quickly expand the market, she now prefers to create her own brand and build her own platform. The former is quick, but it is easy to be controlled by others; the latter is a long way to go, but it can really become her confidence.

She spent the entire afternoon explaining things to her former prospective partners.

She had studied most of the arguments over and over again for a long time during the previous meetings and her own compilation.

Because this kind of cooperation itself only expresses the intention. Although this intention seems very strong to the other party, in fact, there is no contractual constraint between the two parties. In theory, it is understandable that Zhuge Qinuo chooses not to cooperate.

However, the other party did show a lot of active cooperation and spent a lot of time in this cooperation, so Zhuge Qinuo seemed to have become the "party at fault".

In order to express her sincere apology, she went to their office, discussed everything, and waited until everyone involved in the project got off work to prepare to treat them to a meal.

During the period, Mi Bei asked her about the situation, and she just replied that she was still busy.

After finishing his work, Mi Bei returned to the hotel early and wanted to invite Zhuge Qinuo to dinner, but received a reply from her that dinner had been arranged. However, when dinner time came, Zhuge Qinuo did not reply to any messages, let alone other movements. He did not like this, always feeling worried and uncertain.

Mi Bei suddenly remembered that she said he was just across the street. He didn't know what was going on in his mind, or if it was some strange coincidence, he actually went to sit in the cafe downstairs in the hotel.

It was not until he ordered coffee and sat on the sofa beside the bed that he realized how ridiculous he was.

It's already past working hours. Could it be possible that she would still be around here?

His mind was in a state of confusion. He looked out the window, watching the mocking pedestrians in the night.

There was soothing music playing in the cafe, and there were many people, but there was no noise. All I could see were tall buildings, and I was just a tiny dot in this cold building.

It had been a long time since he had felt this way. He began to relax and learn to enjoy this quiet corner of the noisy world.

Wearing a dark jacket, with a handsome face and slender fingers picking up the coffee cup, time seemed to want to stop and watch, flowing particularly slowly around him.

He didn't know that his profile had attracted the affectionate gazes of many young girls.

Just the side profile was enough to make the girls around him take out their phones to take pictures.

If you stay a little longer, maybe someone will be able to prepare themselves mentally and come up to talk to you, or even try to exchange contact information.

But having said that, that's if.

Because, the next second, the familiar petite figure came into his sight. He stood up immediately and rushed out excitedly.

The seat Mi Bei chose in the cafe happened to allow him to see the main entrance of the business building. He didn't expect that he would actually see her.

The moment she appeared, his heart seemed to be filled with something. Two words that he once thought were old-fashioned and pretentious flashed through his mind - fate.

The reason why he was in a hurry to go out was that he saw Zhuge Qinuo waving his hand.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he seemed to understand her body language - politeness mixed with resistance.

When he left, all he saw was her back. She had been escorted into a bar!

Mi Bei frowned and walked quickly towards the bar.

Once you enter, it feels like you have entered another world, full of strange lights and noisy noise.

After searching for a while, he locked onto Zhuge Qinuo's location.

Even though there are so many people inside, she can be recognized at a glance as long as you look in the right direction.

Because in this crooked world, she was the one who sat the most dignified. Her back was straight, her neck and head stubbornly kept upright, and her sitting posture was the most standard lady's sitting posture. She was clearly in a bar, but she sat upright as if she was attending an important meeting. She was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.

"She did it on purpose." Mi Bei thought.

Normally, she would not sit so straight in front of him even if she had to keep something to herself. Her behavior was expressing her rejection with body language.

He didn't think deeply about when he knew so much about Zhuge Qinuo.

He saw nothing wrong with her, but if he rushed forward now, he didn't know what effect it would have, and it might even bring her trouble, so he just found a random spot by the bar and watched from a distance, silently, making sure she didn't leave his sight.

There were a large group of people in that booth. Zhuge Qinuo was holding a wine glass, and the wine in his hand remained for a long time.

"Zhuge, you are really wrong. You stood me up in business, and now you stand me up in life. You don't even want to have a drink with me. This is really disrespectful."

The person who came was a young man, who was a little drunk and told the truth!

Zhuge Qinuo discussed the business with his father, but he was in charge of the subsequent coordination, running around.

In the end, it was indeed because of Zhuge Qinuo's personal reasons that he stood someone up, so she treated everyone to a meal at their department gathering today as compensation.

But he said that the meal was paid for by Zhuge Qinuo, and since it was a team-building event, it had to be handled by the company, so he suggested that he treat everyone to a bar to relax.

These subordinates would naturally not refuse to have fun. During the meal, he kept inviting her to attend the department party that was held because of her.

It was already said that the extra projects were created because of her. Zhuge Qinuo did not refuse directly out of apology and politeness, thinking that he would participate and get out of it as soon as possible.

Now, as expected, the scene of urging people to drink began.

"Mr. Liao, you are too kind! I am not a good drinker, and I have other things to do with my friends tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding and hard work for the successful resolution of today's problems. I am also honored to attend your dinner, which makes me feel your company culture of rigorous work and relaxed equality outside of work. This is also worth learning from."

"I'll drink this one. Since I have to leave early, I'll drink three more as punishment. I hope we can cooperate in the future and have the opportunity to work with you all again."

After saying that, he drank a glass of red wine and started pouring the second glass.

She said what should be said in a bar and did what should be done in a bar.

Her words were actually very skillful. They were explaining indirectly that the business matters had already been resolved at the negotiation table. Now it was just private time. Everyone was equal and free. Moreover, she had already accepted the punishment, so it should be considered as a good idea. That was enough.

Others actually had no opinion about Zhuge Qinuo. In all previous contacts, she had always been polite and all communications went smoothly. There weren't many clients who were so friendly and had little trouble.

Besides, she had paid the penalty for breach of contract and apologized at the dinner. She was reluctant to come to this so-called departmental team building, and everyone saw it. Now that she was here, she was willing to leave first and accepted the punishment, which was indeed very considerate.

After four cups of wine, Zhuge Qinuo's hair stood on end.
