Meet·Lijiang

The next day, Yang Hui returned to Judian by car.Zhuang Zijing drove Liang Jinlan's car back to Dali.

After leaving for only three days, a lot had already happened. After parking the car, Zhuang Zijing went straight to grandpa's room, but she didn't expect Liang Simin and Du Shengju to accompany grandpa to the Erhai Lake for a walk.Zhuang Zijing thought for a while, but didn't call her grandfather, so as not to disturb the old man's elegant mood.

Although she had already taken a long vacation, Zhuang Zijing decided to go to the office to take a look and send Liang Jinlan's key back.

From the guest room to the office area, Zhuang Zijing met many colleagues along the way and greeted her casually, but still found that these people looked at her a little differently. It turned out that she had been away for a few days, and her affairs had already spread in the hotel.In the Lijiang store before, someone once speculated that she was a lady who ran away from home because of Yan Yu who blocked the door, but now the version has been changed, and she has become a little princess who has been left behind by the people.

It's just that when she met Ding Ziwei in the office, Zhuang Zijing's smile couldn't return a kind greeting.Ding Ziwei gave Zhuang Zijing a cold look, then snorted, and walked away unwillingly.

Zhuang Zijing laughed dumbfounded, and then passed her by.

Liang Jinlan was reading yesterday's sales report in the office. When she saw Zhuang Zijing coming in, she put the report aside and smiled at Zhuang Zijing: "It seems that the three principles of success have really affected you a lot."

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Zijing asked, putting the car keys in front of Liang Jinlan: "Thank you."

Liang Jinlan took the key away with a smile, her gaze still on Zhuang Zijing's face: "You look radiant, not as distraught as you were the day you left. It seems like chicken soup for your soul."

Zhuang Zijing smiled but didn't answer: "I think that Miss Ziwei has a lot of opinions on me, don't you really plan to give her a chance?"

Liang Jinlan frowned slightly and smiled wryly: "So small, how can I get along with her?"

Zhuang Zijing nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that she doesn't really hate her, it's just that she is not doing very well because she is in a predicament of love, which makes Mr. Liang a little dissatisfied."

Liang Jinlan shrugged: "Of course I hate it, but I also can't say I like it. You say that a person has no atmosphere, and guesses this and that all day long. Isn't it tiring?"

"Tired." Zhuang Zijing nodded.

Liang Jinlan then lowered her voice again, turned slightly to Zhuang Zijing's direction, and then said somewhat ambiguously: "However, that Miss Yan seems to regard me as a rival in love, and always treats me coldly. This is another what's the situation?"

Zhuang Zijing laughed: "You are my shield."

Liang Jinlan smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's really messy. But I'm afraid I won't be able to be your shield for long. You've taken a long vacation, and I'll be back to Kunming soon."

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Zijing sat down on the sofa: "The job has been transferred?"

Liang Jinlan nodded: "My old man's arrangement is that I will go back to the headquarters to work after the Dali store opens stably. The old man also told me that after you finish the work, I will invite you to work in Kunming. The headquarters is also in charge of Qingyun. The vice president. The salary is increased by [-] on the current basis. Cars, assistants, houses, and year-end dividends."

Zhuang Zijing slightly opened her mouth to express surprise: "It's better than the treatment I received in Yixing."

"So you can really think about it." Liang Jinlan said.

Zhuang Zijing laughed: "It's hard to refuse such a good offer."

"But you still have to refuse, right?" Liang Jinlan said.

Zhuang Zijing nodded: "I will stay in Lijiang."

Liang Jinlan had a knowing expression: "Actually, my father may also take our affairs a little seriously."

"Our business?" Zhuang Zijing raised her eyebrows: "Is there anything between us?"

Liang Jinlan coughed, "You are my girlfriend."

"That's fake." Zhuang Zijing emphasized.

"Yes." Liang Jinlan smiled and said, "Although I don't mind if it's true."

Zhuang Zijing leaned on the sofa and looked at Liang Jinlan seriously: "I have decided not to use you as a shield anymore."

Liang Jinlan seemed a little disappointed: "Honestly, aren't you afraid that people will find out that you are in a relationship with a girl? I mean, without me as a shield, this possibility will become very big, although I It’s acceptable, but no matter how enlightened the society is now, it doesn’t seem to have reached this level of tolerance.”

Zhuang Zijing nodded: "Let's think about it..." Then she was really silent for a while: "So rather than being discovered by others, it's better to confess."

"Confession?" Liang Jinlan looked at Zhuang Zijing suspiciously.

Zhuang Zijing looked thoughtful: "Yes. She taught me. Be honest. Face everything calmly, or take the initiative to face everything. Maybe it's better than being passive. Just like between you and me, if I didn't tell the truth, maybe we It will be more troublesome, and more misunderstandings will be added, but now at least you know my situation and how to get along with me. In fact, being friends is sometimes better than being lovers. It is easier and longer."

Liang Jinlan leaned back in the chair and focused her eyes on the report in front of her: "Yes, what you said is correct. However, it's really sad for men that such a good woman like you has gone into homosexuality."

Zhuang Zijing laughed: "Every woman has her own advantages, it's just that you haven't seen it. I just want to be more calm and self-confident, nothing else."

"Just this makes it difficult for many women to flatter a horse." Liang Jinlan sighed.

"How about I help you teach that Miss Ziwei?" Zhuang Zijing raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.

Liang Jinlan waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, I haven't figured out my own affairs yet."

"About your own business?" Zhuang Zijing asked with a raised voice at the end.

Liang Jinlan sighed, and then nestled back into his big boss chair, his eyes also retracted from Zhuang Zijing's body, and placed on his own hands.He drooped his eyelids so that Zhuang Zijing couldn't see his eyes: "It seems that there is something difficult to say? It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"Actually, there's nothing bad to say." Liang Jinlan's voice was a little low, and then he raised his head to look at Zhuang Zijing: "Anyway, you've told me your biggest secret, and it doesn't matter if I tell you about mine."

Zhuang Zijing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "It's like children exchanging secrets."

Liang Jinlan didn't smile: "In my family, I was regarded as a child who couldn't grow up."

Zhuang Zijing stopped smiling and waited for Liang Jinlan to say something.

"I have an older brother who is five years older than me. He has always spoiled and loved me since I was a child. He will find a way to satisfy me whatever I want. I grew up in this kind of pampering. When I was in college , he gave me advice, asked me to study abroad, and helped me with various procedures. He was very enthusiastic. I like sports, so he bought me the best equipment, and later, when I liked cycling, he would also buy it for me. The best equipment."

"This brother is not bad." Zhuang Zijing smiled. Liang Jinlan's life was indeed different from her own. She was superior enough and cared enough since she was a child.

"I graduated from graduate school abroad. When I returned to China, my brother was already the backbone of Qingyun, the general manager of the headquarters. In these years in Qingyun, he has done a good job and made Qingyun a well-known enterprise."

"It's amazing."

Liang Jinlan went on to say: "After I came back, my father also let me enter Qingyun, because I was active in thinking and dared to think and do. I also did a lot of things in Qingyun, and gradually won the favor of my father. And it seems to have support I mean."

Zhuang Zijing didn't speak any more, she could not help frowning as she had already heard the possible development in the future.The emperor always likes to have many sons in case there are no successors, but what the emperor fears most is having many capable sons, because there is only one emperor.It's an old story, but it goes on all the time.

"Later, I overheard the conversation between my brother and my sister-in-law, and I realized that he didn't like me very much, because my father liked me, so he sent me abroad to keep me away from Qingyun, so as not to become his competitor. When my father became more and more optimistic about me, although he still pretended to love me, he wished that I would do more wrong things, and even secretly tripped me up at work because of this. .”

"So, last time you decided to ride the Sichuan-Tibet line?"

Liang Jinlan nodded, and then shook his head again: "Actually, I had a girl I liked before. Although she hadn't become my girlfriend yet, I was ready to pursue her. I told my brother about it, but not long after , a Ding Ziwei appeared, and got my father's tacit approval, and arranged to be my assistant. She not only got in the way, but also made the girl I like shy away from me. I later learned that these were all arranged by my brother. , he hoped that I would be angry, that I would make mistakes, that I would explode, and then let my father see that I was unstable, and when doing all this, he would find a very good excuse, that is, an elder brother takes care of his younger brother in every possible way, Including personal issues…”

Zhuang Zijing sighed a little, it seems that the children of rich families may not necessarily be happy, so why bother to play tricks between brothers: "You seem to know his train of thought very well, but you still put down your work and go to the Sichuan-Tibet line .”

"Actually, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm very angry, very angry. His behavior is so contrary to the image of the brother who once loved me so much. I want to get revenge on him, make myself better, and then take Xia Qingyun, use this method to slap him, let him know that his behavior will not only lose my brotherhood, but also Qingyun, I want him to know that I am not so calculating and easy to bully."

"But?"

"However, I always feel very painful, and I don't know if this is right, so I finally left Qingyun to ride the Sichuan-Tibet line. I set a goal for myself. If I finish riding the Sichuan-Tibet line, then I will go to To fight, to get revenge, if I don't have the courage and perseverance to finish the ride, then I will let go."

Zhuang Zijing smiled: "You really think like a child."

"Fighting against a brother requires not only courage and perseverance, but also enough ruthlessness. If I can't even ride the Sichuan-Tibet line, how can I fight against him?" Liang Jinlan denied Zhuang Zijing's words.

Zhuang Zijing said, "But you still haven't finished riding."

"Because I was infected by your words, I believe that the most beautiful scenery is on the road. Maybe the confrontation itself is the scenery on the road, no matter whether it is successful or not."

Zhuang Zijing was silent for a moment: "So your decision is confrontation?"

Liang Jinlan nodded: "So I want to go back to Kunming."

Zhuang Zijing didn't say anything more. In fact, when faced with the same thing, different people will make different decisions, because some people want the freedom to live with the situation, while others want the turbulent competition.And no matter what you choose, there is no right or wrong.

"However," Liang Jinlan's expression eased: "Why didn't you bring your three principles of life back, I want to see her before I leave."

Zhuang Zijing chuckled: "Her name is Yang Hui, and she's in Judian."
