shadow in daylight gl

As time passed day by day, Lu Linzhong handed over the work at hand and arranged business trips in an orderly manner, but there was one thing that made her a little uneasy. The afternoon before her departure, she made an appointment with Qin Shi.

Qin Shi recently traveled to major cities in the country to promote the movie that is currently in theaters.As an investor, if she wants to meet this actress, she has to close her schedule.

The meeting place was chosen in a private kitchen opened by an acquaintance, in a closed private room, just the two of them.

Qin Shi went to the appointment on time, wearing a light gray long windbreaker, with white and tender skin at the neckline, a slightly raised chin, elegant thin lips, a straight nose, and a pair of eyes that can turn all sentient beings upside down, she is a natural beauty .

"Miss Qin, long time no see."

Afterwards, the beauty frowned slightly, and the coldness in her eyes was like snowflakes falling in winter, piling up bit by bit, for the unhappiness they had met a few times before.

"Why is Vice President Lu looking for me?" Qin Shi's tone was also cold.

Lu Linzhong couldn't help raising his eyebrows, this actress really hated her from the bottom of her heart.

"I made a match for you and introduced you to my partner Lin Yusi, so that an [-]th-line female artist with a non-student background became the other protagonist of "Ningchen"." Lu Linzhong shook the red wine glass in his hand , continued: ""Ningchen" is the first film that Zhitian Films casts. How much risk do I have to take?"

Lu Linzhong gently put down the wine glass in his hand, quietly admiring the expression on Qin Shi's face, of course a good-looking person is still good-looking when angry, especially when the other party is angry and there is nothing he can do about her.

Putting aside his indecency, Lu Linzhong said sternly: "In the end, I am a businessman, and of course the only thing I care about is profit."

Qin Shi's expression changed.

"I have made Miss Qin get what she wanted. Has Miss Qin thought about how to repay me?"

Qin Shi turned his face impatiently, "If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

Very well, what she was waiting for was Qin Shi's words.

"Lin Yusi has a good impression of you, right?" Lu Linzhong took out a document from his bag and handed it to Qin Shi, "I have an idea."

Qin Shi frowned and turned two pages.

"This is Lin Yusi's resume when he was in school in the United States, including his living habits, study situation, and friends around him."

"What do you want to do?"

"In the process of investigating him, I found that something was deliberately erased. When Lin Yusi was in college, he liked an international student. Later, the girl committed suicide."

Qin Shi was silent for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, "You don't mean you want me to get close to Boss Lin on purpose, and then tell him what to say?"

Lu Linzhong raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Qin Shi closed the file and chuckled, "How long has it been since you watched a TV show?"

Lu Linzhong narrowed his eyes with interest, "What?"

"In the past few years, this kind of drama has been too lazy to shoot in China, and you still want me to stage it for real."

Lu Linzhong choked up.

"Vice President Lu, what do you think?"

"..." Lu Linzhong shook his head, and said calmly, "I heard that Miss Qin was born in a very red family."

Qin Shi didn't speak.

"I need the truth about Lin Yusi. It's very simple for your father to investigate such a small matter. Raising soldiers can be used for a thousand days. You can have your own bottom line, but you can't refuse me."

Lu Linzhong glanced at the time, she had more important things to do and had to leave.

"Miss Qin, I hope you can bring me good news when we meet next time."

After seeing Qin Shi, Lu Linzhong called Sherry and asked when he could get the Qin.

Sherry was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and gave Lu Linzhong an exact time, and the location was the piano shop she ran.

The location of the piano store is conspicuous, close to the villa area, occupying an exclusive building, and the overall decoration is elegant and high-end. Although Lu Linzhong had heard about it from Sherry before, he had never visited it in person.

There is a brown Steinway Sons L in the center of the first floor. The keys have been finely polished, reflecting a lustrous and bright luster under the chandelier.

Sherry came down the stairs, "Sit on the second floor? I have prepared some refreshments."

Lu Lin clock waved his hand, "I won't be sitting today, I'm in a hurry."

Sherry stared at her, "Could it be that you just rush to take the piano and give it away?"

Lu Linzhong didn't deny it, Sherry smiled, glanced at the pendant on Lu Linzhong's neck, turned and walked into the piano room.

Lu Linzhong nodded, gently took off the pendant on his neck, put it in his hand and shook it reluctantly.

Sherry opened the door, holding a black piano case in her hand.

"Why do you want this pendant? Although it is a diamond, the price is far from your piano, and it is cut into this shape, which has no special meaning to ordinary people. Even if you want to sell it for money someday , there should be a price but no market.”

"Do you think I will really sell a pendant one day to make a living?" Sherry smiled, and reached out to snatch the pendant, as if afraid of Lu Linzhong's regret.

"Even if there is a day, I should sell you the pendant, will you buy it?"

Lu Linzhong thought about it seriously, "Not necessarily."

Sherry lowered her eyes and tightened the pendant in her hand.Lu Linzhong glanced at the time, took the piano case in a hurry, waved to Sherry, and left the piano store.

Lu Linzhong fastened his seat belt, glanced at the piano case lying flat on the rear seat from the rearview mirror, and smiled from his eyes.

She still remembered that the little girl who saved her hung a card on her chest, which was the serial number of the Winston International Youth Violin Competition. That day, the little girl wet the violin and bow to save her. I don’t know if it would have any effect in the end. to the game.Lu Linzhong thought before that if he meets that little girl again one day, she will give her a violin.

The magic of fate is far more than just meeting again.

As the sky fell, there were more and more cars on the road, and the sky in the east had turned dark purple.

It took some time to get the piano, Lu Linzhong didn't know if An Huaixu had come home from get off work, so she accelerated the car and drove to An Huaixu's unit.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Lu Linzhong walked over to say hello to the old guard.

"Hey, I remember, you are the pretty girl who came back to look for Comrade Xiao An."

Lu Linzhong rolled up the corners of his lips, showing a bright smile, "Old Man, I'm here to find Comrade Xiaoan."

"Comrade Xiaoan?" The old man asked suspiciously, "Don't you know?"

Lu Linzhong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Know what?"

"She resigned a long time ago, and everyone is reluctant to part with her. Half a month ago, I even moved my things away, and even gave me a teapot as a souvenir. It's beautiful and easy to use. Look——"

An Huaixu resigned half a month ago?

Lu Linzhong thanked the doorman politely, sat down in the car, gripped the steering wheel, and drove home.

The car was parked in front of the building, and the warm yellow light came out from the house and spread in front of the door, as if welcoming her home.

Lu Linzhong rested his hands on the steering wheel, resting his forehead on his arms, a feeling of powerlessness spread all over his body.

She doesn't want to come into the house.

After entering, there will be silence, quarrel, cold war...

They have had so much unhappiness recently, and now that the relationship has finally eased to a comfortable state for both of them, is she going to break it with her own hands?

But if you don't try to solve some problems and let them go, what will happen in the end?

Lu Linzhong didn't want to think about it anymore, picked up the piano case in the back row, and opened the door.

The smell of food was tangy, there was only one ambient light on in the living room, and the open kitchen just allowed her to see An Huaixu's busy appearance.

Lu Linzhong stood in the porch for a while before raising his hand to press the chandelier switch in the living room.

"Why did you come back so late?" An Huaixu poked his head out from the kitchen bar and smiled at Lu Linzhong.

"You are very early." Lu Linzhong's voice was without any emotion.

An Huaixu turned his back, blanched some broccoli in boiling water, and said warmly, "Dinner will be ready soon."

"Ah."

An Huaixu went in and out between the kitchen and the dining room, until she had put all the dinner on the table, Lu Linzhong still maintained his original posture and stood at the door.

"What's wrong with you?" An Huaixu noticed that there was something hidden behind Lu Linzhong, "What did you take?"

Lu Linzhong put the piano case horizontally on the chest of drawers: "Open it and have a look."

An Huaixu's eyes darkened.She didn't need to open it, she knew it was a violin just by looking at the outside.

She never told Lu Linzhong that she liked the violin, even, she never mentioned to Lu Linzhong that she could play the violin.

An Huaixu heard Lu Linzhong ask: "Do you like it?"

She doesn't like it.

She really doesn't like it, and this kind of dislike will not change because Lu Linzhong gave her the piano.

In order to please her parents when she was a child, she practiced piano and competed all the time.Practicing a piece well and getting a trophy didn't bring her much happiness, all she wanted was company.

As she got older, the more she understood, the more she hated playing the violin.The dullness of learning the piano and the harshness of my parents have become a lingering haze in my memory, or a nightmare.

An Huaixu caressed the retro patterns carved on the piano box, slowly closed the piano box, and looked at the dining room table: "Let's eat first, or it will be cold."

Lu Linzhong's eyes dimmed, like a foggy night, wrapped in many complicated emotions, including loss, sadness, powerlessness, depression, and helplessness...

The dinner was carefully prepared by An Huaixu. She racked her brains for this meal, dug out all the ingredients in the refrigerator, and read the recipe while holding the iPad.

She didn't cook very often, and this dinner took her all afternoon, and many of them went into the trash can, and only the carefully selected ones could be served on the table.

"You're going on a business trip tomorrow, so I'll cook for Vice President Lu myself."

Lu Linzhong didn't respond to her smile, his face was extremely cold.

"Asparagus and ham rolls, cheese baked shrimp, vegetable salad, walnut pumpkin pasta, creamy mushroom soup, can you make these dishes in more than an hour?"

Holding a knife and fork in his hand, An Huaixu raised his eyes to look at her when he heard the sound.

"You resigned." Lu Linzhong took a deep breath, "If I remember correctly, the resignation of the public service system requires a report one month in advance for the handover of work, and you have left the post now, right?"

"You, got it?" An Huaixu scooped up a spoonful of mushroom soup with a calm face. Anyway, he wanted to know, but he didn't expect it to be today.

"When did you resign?"

"September."

"When?"

Lu Linzhong seldom had such a dignified expression, with thick red lips, but his tone of voice was like a cold knife.

"Since I have resigned, does the specific date matter?"

"Isn't it important? Do you think it's not important to resign, so there's no need to discuss it with me. It's already November. If I didn't go to your unit to find you today, are you planning to keep it from me?" ? Go out with me on weekdays as usual, pretending to go to work by yourself?"

An Huaixu clenched the spoon in his hand, "I think it's up to me to decide what kind of job I choose. Besides, my parents didn't object to me after they knew about it."

"They know? I'm the only one who doesn't know?" Lu Linzhong rubbed his eyebrows and laughed angrily. It turned out that the last time Jiang Mu came home, she said that An Huaixu was working overtime, and Jiang Mu asked her "Are you sure?" It was this mean.

"We are legal partners. I didn't even know about your resignation. The day your mother came, she asked me where you had been, and I said you went to work overtime. What would your mother think of me and us? This relationship? Our marriage is not even honest and caring for each other, so why is she willing to support us to go on?" Before entering the room, Lu Linzhong repeatedly told himself to calm down, but when it really came, her tone became agitated stand up.

"Are you so angry now because you care about their opinions? Whether a relationship can go on depends on the two people in the relationship, not on other people's eyes."

"Do you think I care what those insignificant people think of us? I've always just wanted the approval of your family, but what you've done is enough for them to deny me directly. During this time I—"

Lu Linzhong forcibly swallowed the words that were about to be blurted out, like a stick in his throat.

She leaned on the back of the chair with a gloomy expression, "Sometimes I really don't understand you, I don't understand why you quit this very suitable job, and I don't understand why you don't want to tell me anything, let alone I don't understand why you keep lying to me. Xiao Xu, what you do is no different from cheating."

"Do you think I'm willing to do that? Are you going to ask me next, why I haven't opened my mouth when I have so many opportunities to tell you?"

"Because I know that if I open my mouth, it will become like this. If I discuss with you whether to resign, you will only oppose me, and you can always give reasons that I can't refute. If I told you some time ago, I would kill you first and play later. , you'll still be upset about it."

"Xiao Xu, do you think I will only interfere with your decision-making? Can you tell that I will oppose you? Are you depriving me of the right to know based on your own judgment?"

"One thing I've been denying for a while now, but it's the fact that you're like my parents in some ways."

An Huaixu took a deep breath, she had a hunch that if she said something, it would inevitably cause deep rifts in their marriage.

But she still wanted to say it.

"The most unacceptable thing for my parents is that I refute them. In fact, you are the same, because you have always been excellent, and most of the decisions you make are correct or even impeccable. Gradually, it is difficult for you to accept denial from others , but your way of expression is smoother and more tactful than my parents, even without leaving any traces."

Lu Linzhong's expression became even uglier.

"What I did made you angry, partly because it was beyond your control. In the final analysis, we are different. Talents, abilities, and experience are all unequal. Looking at one thing not only There are differences of opinion, even the most basic positions."

"I admit that I was wrong to lie to you, but I don't think there is anything wrong with my decision."

An Huaixu lowered his eyes, looked at the piano case on the chest of drawers, and sighed, "You're right, you really don't understand me."

She put down the tableware in her hand, turned and left the restaurant.

A table full of dishes was already completely cold. Lu Linzhong looked at An Huaixu's back stretched by the light, and felt that they were far apart, but this was not the distance given by time.

Lu Linzhong nodded, propped his arms against his forehead, every word An Huaixu said, every word turned into a needle, piercing her heart precisely and ruthlessly.

She is very good at her career, she has never stumbled and stumbled, and even small mistakes rarely occur. She is indeed used to having the right to speak and make decisions, and no one refute her approach.

She can advance and retreat freely in the love field, and she has long been used to being surrounded by people around her. There will be men and women who will take the initiative to hold their hearts in front of her without her having to work hard to understand others.

But she has never been complacent about it. Ever since she realized how difficult this road is, she has worked hard to manage their relationship, but she has clearly tried her best. Why is this the result?

People who have muddy feet on the road of love know that falling in love with someone is only a moment, but knowing that it takes the rest of their lives.

As a bedside person, An Huaixu resigned and was unwilling to discuss it with her. She didn't know what An Huaixu was doing after resigning, and where the scars on her back came from. For so many days, have they been sharing the same bed with different dreams?An Huaixu said that she didn't understand her.Then did An Huaixu understand what she was thinking?

She was no longer as angry as she was when she quarreled with An Huaixu last time, but her strength was drained little by little.She didn't want to be angry again, and she didn't want to end their unhappiness again and again with quarrels.

Lu Linzhong looked back at the food on the table, dragged his tired body back to the room, sat by the bed and slowly packed his luggage.

The author has something to say: The author gave a thumbs up: "Putting my wife away, well done!"

An Huaixu: "I'm not wrong"

A few days later, An Huaixu's eyes were full of tears: "I made a mistake, come back to me."

Lu Linzhong said with a cold face, "I won't return."
