Zhong Chenglin has always felt that there is a special fate between himself and Shen Qi, and he can't tell whether he likes or appreciates it, but he has a good impression from the first time he saw it.

He once really liked a boy named Xiao Nianjia, but the memory of coming out alone later was too tragic, no matter how much he liked him, he was afraid of pain.Later, when he met Shen Qi, it really made his heart flutter.

From 2006 to 2009, after three years of acquaintance between him and Shen Qi, they were still just friends.Or for Shen Qi, it was just a familiar person.

At the end of 2009, under Ruan Changling's persuasion, Shen Qi tried to get out of his own world and communicate with the outside world.Xu Dongcheng was very happy and expressed all kinds of support.

Shen Qi wants to open a restaurant.

The restaurant is located in the new urban area of ​​Jincheng, close to the newly developed Wetland Park, which is an industry contracted by Xuye Group, and the government intends to focus on the development of the area.The chefs hired by Shen Qi are all from Liucheng, and the restaurant's main focus is also Liucheng flavor.

The name of the restaurant is Liuchengli.

This year, Shen Xi was 24 years old, his hair was shaved very short, his body was thin but his back was still erect, his eyes were still gentle, but they didn't have the warmth they used to.

This year he missed Liu Cheng and Zhou Jingtang especially, and he even had to admit that he still missed Shen Qingzhu.

He didn't want to get involved with Willow anymore, but he still couldn't bear the nostalgia in his bones, so he opened Willow, hoping to leave behind the taste of Liucheng.

With the passage of time, the former boy has gradually become the handsome young man he is today.

In the second year after the opening of Liuchengli, the business gradually improved. Coupled with the gradual improvement of the development of the wetland park, the flow of people in this area gradually increased.

Shen Qi likes to stay in Liucheng very much, he often sits for a whole day, and occasionally hears familiar accents in the restaurant, and unfamiliar faces speak with soft accents, which makes him feel kind.

Ruan Changling is still keen on blind dates for Shen Qi, there are men and women, she often brings her home for afternoon tea, and then asks Shen Qi if he is interested.

Shen Qi was afraid of her, and several times he didn't dare to go back.

Ruan Changling said: "Actually, even if you don't like it, we'll settle on Chenglin. Anywhere is fine, don't you think?"

Shen Qi asked her: "Are you sure?"

When Ruan Changling and Shen Qi were talking, Zhong Chenglin was on the sidelines, he laughed and grabbed a snack with Xu Xiaoxiao, and immediately raised his hand in agreement.

Shen Qi said: "Who am I with in such a situation? It's wrong to be with anyone, isn't it?"

Ruan Changling remained silent, but Zhong Chenglin thought for a long time, and said seriously: "Don't say that, Qiqi."

These years, Shen Qi never dared to imagine who he would be with in the future. He understood that Xu Dongcheng and Ruan Changling were afraid that he would be lonely in the future, but he could no longer sleep peacefully beside the other.

Shen Qingzhu's revenge is not about being quick for a while, but about being unable to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

And the most frightening thing was that he couldn't hate her with all his heart.

The spring of 2011 came very early, and the second day of the new year was the spring breeze bringing warmth.At that time, the willows in the wetland will sprout new shoots, a few black ducks will roam the lake, and a white cat will sleep on the stone slab under the bridge.

At the beginning of the year, the tables and chairs in Liucheng had to be replaced, the restaurant was redecorated, and the nave on the second floor was vacated. Shen Qi had a whim and set up two pool tables there.

Zhong Chenglin was shocked when he saw two more pool tables out of thin air on the second floor, and asked Shen Qi in a puzzled way: "Is your restaurant more rustic?"

"You're the one with the local style," Shen Qi rarely scolded him.

"No," Zhong Chenglin said, "In what year, do people still play billiards?"

Shen Qi choked and couldn't speak.

Zhong Chenglin said again: "Even if there are still people who play billiards with nostalgia, they won't come to the restaurant to play?"

Shen Qi said, "You don't care about me."

Many guests would look at this billiard table a few times when they came to dine, but no one touched it in half a year, but Shen Qi still kept it.

Shen Qi thought of a way, that is, anyone who makes a hole in one will be free of charge.

After this regulation came out, quite a few people tried it out. Occasionally, there would be men and women standing at the pool table in twos and threes, which seemed a bit lively.

Shen Qi doesn't know how to play billiards, but in his dream, there is still Zhou Jingtang smiling happily at him while supporting the pole.

At the end of August, the government started drastic construction projects, and the wetland park was the first project. After driving the development of surrounding industries, it planned to build a new wetland resort behind the wetland park.

Xu Dongcheng was particularly interested in the project of this resort, and sent people to follow it since the beginning of the year when there was a little rumor.Xu Ye was in the building materials business, and he wanted to contract the resort's building materials. This was not only a big order, but also an invisible advertisement.

When Xu Dongcheng visited the Wetland Park, he went to Liucheng to see Shen Qi. He introduced to other company bosses around him: "This is my eldest son, Shen Qi. From now on, take care of his business."

The group talked about some scenes, and then began to talk about the resort.

It is said that the piece of land behind the Wetland Park belongs to the government and will be open for auction three days later.

A middle-aged man who was traveling with him said, "What kind of auction are you competing for? I have already inquired about it. The Zhou family will also come to share a piece of the pie this time. Who of you can compete with others?"

"The one from the Zhou family? Didn't Zhou Yanwu retreat?"

"Zhou Yanwu has retired, but now that Jincheng can talk, which one was not helped by Mr. Zhou? Now that the Zhou family wants to get a share, whoever has to personally send the God of Wealth to the door."

"Forget it, I won't join in the fun with that piece of land."

Everyone chatted and talked to Xu Dongcheng again, saying: "We can't hope to win the land, but Brother Xu can still fight for cooperation with the Zhou family. After all, whoever gets the land needs building materials."

Xu Dongcheng toasted with a smile, already thinking about it.

Three days later, the results of the government's public auction came out, and Hengyi Group won the land with a bid of 5000 million.

Xu Dongcheng was not surprised. At the moment, there was information about the person in charge of Hengyi Group on his desk.

Zhou Jingtang, male, 27 years old, returnee.

On the information is a standard ID photo, the young man in the photo is very young, he doesn't smile when taking pictures, he has a straight face, his hair is combed back, revealing a smooth forehead.He was wearing a black shirt with a stand-up collar, and he didn't look easy to match.

Xu Dongcheng didn't have much contact with the Zhou family, but he met Zhou Yanwu at a reception a few years ago, and he didn't have a chance to talk to him.He had heard of the only son of the Zhou family, and there was no news of him leaving the country many years ago. He returned to China five years ago and set up Hengyi Group on his own, and it has made great achievements today.

Xu Dongcheng had a plan in mind, and ordered his assistant to call Heng Yi, thinking of going to visit him.After making an appointment over there, Xu Dongcheng rushed over with his assistant.

After waiting in the waiting room for about ten minutes, Xu Dongcheng met Mr. Zhou.

The person who came was a tall, long-legged young man who was half a head taller than him when he walked up to him. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his wrists, and he reached out to shake hands with him.

"Mr. Xu, long-awaited."

The young man's voice was deep but sonorous, and the strength in his hands was heavier than that of ordinary people, but it only made people feel stable and reliable, without any offense.

This is Xu Dongcheng's first impression of Zhou Jingtang. He is a formidable young man and a trustworthy partner.

Zhou Jingtang had long legs, and after sitting down, those long legs bent up, clasped his hands on his knees, and smiled and ordered his assistant to pour water for the guests.

"Everyone says Mr. Zhou is a formidable young man, and now it is true. At Mr. Zhou's age, I haven't even figured out the way to Jincheng." Xu Dongcheng said, "I came here uninvited today because I wanted to make friends with a young man. Friends, Hengyi has developed a lot of real estate in the past few years, and we, Xuye, are building materials, and there are always opportunities for cooperation."

Zhou Jingtang has heard about Xuye Group for a long time, and it is considered to be the best among domestic building materials companies.It has only been half a day since Hengyi took the picture of the land behind the Wetland Park, and he has received no less than three large building materials companies.

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Naturally, he doesn't look up to all companies. Those who can receive are worthy of the stage.

Xu Dongcheng chatted with Zhou Jingtang looking for something to say, and finally brought the topic to the development of the wetland resort calmly, trying Zhou Jingtang's tone.

Zhou Jingtang said: "Coincidentally, that piece of land has just been photographed, and I haven't looked at it carefully. Why don't we invite Mr. Xu to go over there to have a look."

Xu Dongcheng naturally couldn't ask for it.

It was nearly two hours' drive from Hengyi to the Wetland Park. Xu Dongcheng and Zhou Jingtang were both sitting in the back seat. The two of them said some bright words in the business field, and finally looked to the other side quietly. .

For the wetland resort project, the land is very special, and the requirements for wetland protection and construction are equal.Zhou Jingtang looked around for a long time after getting out of the car, and found that this was indeed a good opportunity to make money, but it was also a tough bone that ordinary people could not bite down.

As far as the current building materials company is concerned, Zhou Jingtang has the best impression of Xu Ye, which is why he invited Xu Dongcheng to come for a field trip.He also had a good impression of Xu Dongcheng. Before meeting Xu Dongcheng, he knew that both Xu Dongcheng and Xu Ye had a good reputation. After seeing him today, he also found that Xu Dongcheng was really relaxed.

After wandering around the wetland for more than half an hour, a group of people came out of the wetland park. Zhou Jingtang suddenly asked, "I heard that the building materials for the park are also made by Xu Ye?"

Xu Dongcheng said: "Thanks to all colleagues who don't dislike it."

Zhou Jingtang smiled politely.

When walking to the edge of the Wetland Park, Xu Dongcheng proposed: "I've bothered Mr. Zhou for a long time today, how about this, I invite Mr. Zhou and Hengyi's friends to have a meal."

Zhou Jingtang said: "How can I ask Mr. Xu to invite me?"

Xu Dongcheng continued: "I invite, I invite, Mr. Zhou doesn't know, my son has opened a restaurant near here. You say that as a father, I have to take care of my family's business."

"In this case, we will be disrespectful."

There were five or six people in the group, Xu Dongcheng and his assistant, Zhou Jingtang and Zhou Jingtang's assistant, and Hengyi's two project managers.Xu Dongcheng walked ahead and led the people into Liucheng.

Xu Dongcheng asked for a box on the second floor, and when he entered, he asked the waiter, "Where's your boss?"

The waiter said: "On the third floor, Mr. Zhong and Ms. Xu are eating. Do you need me to invite him down?"

Xu Dongcheng waved his hand: "No need."

When Zhou Jingtang went up to the second floor, he saw the pool table in the middle hall, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and after sitting down in the box, asked casually: "Mr. Ling is very interesting, why would you think of putting a pool table in the restaurant? "

"He's just kidding around," Xu Dongcheng smiled more gently when he mentioned Shen Qi, "I also said to him, since few people play billiards in the club these days, why is he still playing billiards in the restaurant? He said , just let yourself look happy. It’s good for him to be happy.”

Xu Dongcheng added casually: "He also said that if you make a hole in one, you will be free."

Zhou Jingtang found it interesting, and said with a smile, "I'll try it later and see if I can save Mr. Xu several thousand dollars."

Xu Dongcheng laughed loudly and said, "That's great!"

The waiter started serving the dishes, and a project manager next to him said casually, "Hey, this seems to be Liucheng's special dish."

Heng Yi's assistant said, "Didn't you see it? The sign is called Liuchengli."

Zhou Jingtang took a second look at the dishes when he heard the words. He really didn't notice the name of the restaurant when he came in, and he couldn't tell that it was the flavor of Liucheng by the colors of the dishes.But he has a special affection for that city.

During the meal, Xu Dongcheng said: "I don't know if you like the flavor of Liucheng. If you don't like it, I will invite you to try something else some other day."

Before Zhou Jingtang could speak, his assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't know something. Our Mr. Zhou went to school in Liucheng before."

"Really? Mr. Zhou hurriedly tasted it, is it the authentic Liucheng flavor?"

Zhou Jingtang smiled: "Yes, quite authentic."

Xu Dongcheng said: "I think it should be authentic. My son grew up in Liucheng, and he eats spicy food very much. Oh, by the way, which school in Liucheng did Mr. Zhou go to before?"

Zhou Jingtang was stunned for a moment, a little unwilling to mention this topic, put down his chopsticks and drank a glass of water, then smiled politely, and replied, "Liucheng No. [-] Middle School."

Xu Dongcheng said: "Coincidentally, my son is also from Liucheng No. [-] Middle School."

Zhou Jingtang found that Xu Dongcheng really liked to talk about his son, but he didn't want to talk about Liucheng at all. He smiled and started to change the subject, talking about work with Xu Dongcheng.
