frenzied

"President Jin, we're here." The low-key yet luxurious car stopped smoothly, and Mo Xin looked through the rearview mirror at the man in the back seat who closed his eyes and rested his mind. The colorful and dazzling lights outside the car window were refracted mixedly, and his handsome and quiet face Covered with a layer of strange brilliance.

"President Jin." There was no movement, and the delicately carved facial features were silent in the dazzling lights, so he had to repeat it.

"Wait for me for 10 minutes." The opened eyes were like cut pupils and autumn water glowed with a gloomy light, but the deepest part of the eyes was filled with gloom that couldn't be dispelled.

"I understand." At a glance, there was a magnificent building towering into the sky in the center of the city, and Mo Xin nodded as always.

This is not the first time that Jin Luo has come to a restaurant that can overlook the top of the whole city. The elevator slowly ascends, and the shiny and clear glass reflects the bustling traffic, and gradually becomes as small as an ant tramples on it. Jin Luo's lips are tightly pressed together , eyes quiet and silent.

It was too late to breathe a sigh of relief when the board meeting was over, and the flickering number on the vibrating phone screen shocked him who was calm.

Recalling the unchanged tone of voice on the other end of the receiver, Jin Luo's expression remained unchanged, but the heavy precipitation in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Reflected in the transparent glass mirror, he saw the same self as many years ago, with meticulous appearance and neat clothes, a dark blue striped tie bound by a snow-white to shiny neckline, no trace of wrinkle, restrained and elegant like a sculpture, pulling The rigor that does not make mistakes is impeccable, but it lacks the appropriate affinity, the inhumanity that is high above and untouchable.

Even a faint smile on the corner of the lips is like a habitual courtesy after being measured by a precision instrument.

With a sound of "ding", his contemplation was temporarily interrupted, Jin Luo put away his emotions and stepped out of the elevator door, and walked slowly into the quiet restaurant.

"Mr. Jin, this way please." Apparently someone had already made preparations, and once the door was unimpeded, someone stepped forward to guide him.

The cool and dim lighting, the melodious and deep piano sound, and the exquisite carpet have excellent sound effects, which is very suitable for business talks.

"Mr. Jin, please come in." After turning a corner, a separate box room appeared in front of him, and the waiter bent down and stood respectfully beside him.

As Jin Luo stepped forward, the glass doors with gorgeous carvings automatically closed and opened on both sides, paving the way for him.The circular dining table is placed in the center, and the opposite main seat is empty. Looking up, a slender and beautiful figure is standing in front of the window.

More than ten years is enough to erase a person from his memory. Jin Luo can't remember when the image represented by the word "mother" gradually blurred in his mind, and finally became a thin symbol. , and trying to remember doesn't help.I can't say that there is a strong love or hate, but as time goes by, slowly, happy and unhappy, everything gradually fades away without a trace.

Regardless of whether it was deliberate or instinctive, when I recalled it occasionally, it turned into a past event covered with thick dust and closed.

Wearing a dark green long dress with a bright color, thinly applied powder and daisy is already glamorous. Not only did the years leave no traces on the corners of the eyes and brows, but the precipitation became more dignified and dignified. There is no need for piles of gold, silver and jewelry. The finishing touch of the details complements each other. , Raising one's hands is worth a lot.

The four eyes met, the blurred facial features in the memory gradually became clear, a few glazed crystal lamps were scattered high and low, bright and transparent, the decorated light yellow curtains fluttered with the wind, the two were silent, the excessive tranquility was like the surface of dark and turbulent water, Treacherous keeps the peace.

"Sit down." Between the mother and the child, there is no tears-like joy of reuniting with relatives, and it is more like a polite and considerate alienation towards guests.

As soon as I was seated, the waiters arranged for me filed in, and the carefully cooked dishes were delivered to the table, and the aroma was pleasant for a while.The professionalism was in place, and in less than a minute, everything was prepared quietly, without a single disturbing noise.

"These are the dishes you liked to eat when you were a child. Try it. The ingredients in this restaurant are very authentic and should match your taste."

The board meeting lasted from the morning to the evening, and there was no water during the period. Jin Luo rushed directly to this date after get off work. Jin Luo should be hungry, but a large table of delicious food with different characteristics has more artistic appreciation value, which is not attractive at all. his appetite.Without even looking at the well-placed chopsticks, Jin Luo smiled faintly, and went straight to the point, "If you have something to say, you can speak up."

Han Jie's bright smile froze for a moment, but the transition was so fast that he couldn't find it. He only held the white jade wine glass tightly, and his clear and beautiful voice was natural and smooth. Can we discuss business?"

"Before you found me, you must have known that Han Chen had already shifted his work focus back to China, and he planned to settle in China."

Han Jie neither refuted anxiously nor admitted generously. She slowly turned the wine glass, looking forward with clear eyes, quietly waiting for his next words.

"I won't interfere with his choice. He is usually cynical, but once he has a goal and made up his mind, no one can change it." The waning moon outside the window imprinted, gracefully, Jin Luo's side face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, cold Ran said: "You must know more about this than I do."

Han Jie's elegant and gentle attitude finally showed a crack, "If you want to come to the United States to develop, we..."

"I think you understand better at the same time, is it easier for me to go to the United States to adapt again or for Han Chen to return to China." Jin Luo interrupted her, stood up, did not intend to continue talking, and quickly retracted his eyes, turned around and left A resounding sentence: "Mother."

"Jin Luo!" Being in a high position, no one has treated her with such a tone for many years, Han Jie sullenly stopped the person who was about to leave.Stern and solemn words blurted out, out of time and difficult to take back, so I could only soften and say: "You used to be a well-behaved and sensible child."

"My mother never paid attention to it before. I never liked spicy food." Laughing at himself, Jin Luo stopped stopping and quickly pushed the door out. Han Jie behind her was stunned when she heard the words. Half of the taste is too spicy, just look at the dishes.

It took less than 5 minutes, shorter than expected, and Jin Luo watched the elevator door slowly close with indifference as usual.

If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed. After all, he still overestimated himself.

People's hearts grow on the left side, so it's inevitable to be eccentric, not to mention that Han Chen has stayed with her for more than ten years more than him, and he understood the truth from the beginning, but at this moment that is really happening, it's useless to persuade himself. Self-mockery remains.

Leaning and looking up at the receding sky, Jin Luo put his hands in his pockets and quietly admired the crescent moon in the sky alone.

"President Jin." Hearing the sound of "bang" in the back seat, Mo Xin subconsciously looked into the rearview mirror and asked, "Shall we go back now?"

"Let's take a few laps first." Mo Xin was about to continue asking, but the person in the back seat rubbed his temples tiredly, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.

Normally, the boss should go home and enjoy the usual arrangements instead of wandering aimlessly on the street. Mo Xin knows he is in a bad mood without guessing, so he can only shut up, start the car and choose a road section that will not be congested during this time period. , if Jin Luo changes his mind, he will not be stuck on the road, the neon lights are flashing, and the city is waking up vigorously at night.

"Mo Xin."

"Yes." Jin Luo's voice was not loud, but Mo Xin caught it immediately and slowed down the car to wait for his next instruction.

"How is your mother now?"

"The doctor said that it would be difficult to improve in a short period of time and it would take a long time to recuperate, but now the condition is better than expected." Mo Xin met Jin Luo because of a medical dispute. His mother worked several part-time jobs to support him. At work, he was seriously injured in an accident, but his work unit was unwilling to take responsibility. Mo Xin was a law student, so he found Jin Luo's law firm. To a certain extent, Jin Luo did it for his mother's sake. The gods gave him a helping hand. Mo Xin stayed to work after graduation. Jin Luo has been following him from the law firm to taking over Jin's enterprises. After careful calculation, it has been several years.Naturally, they got to know each other better during getting along. Jin Luo was not a philanthropist, so Mo Xin never understood what he did back then.

There was a period of silence in the carriage. Mo Xin almost thought that Jin Luo had fallen asleep, and then he heard again, "Where's your brother?"

Not knowing why Jin Luo suddenly cared about his family situation, Mo Xin was full of doubts, but he still replied truthfully: "He has been back for a while, and he even visited my mother, so it's cleared up." The two brothers in Mo Xin's family , He went to college alone, and his younger brother complained that he went to work in another city alone. He didn't even contact his mother when he was admitted to the hospital. Finally, he figured it out and came back.

After experiencing the worry and fear of being unable to connect to the other party's phone for several months, Mo Xin sighed: "After all, we are a family."

"Family?" Mo Xin muttered thoughtfully when he saw the person in the rearview mirror, and then slowly closed his eyes, "Take me back."

Half an hour after returning to the residence, the night fell, and Jin Luo slowly walked up the steps, and there was only the sound of one person's footsteps in the silence.

Having received Han Chen's message early, he and Lin Xi must have rested, his stomach churned, and Jin Luo felt a sharp pain and couldn't help holding onto the wall, sweating profusely.He has always been indifferent to the side effects of high-intensity work, but tonight it is especially unbearable.It seemed that countless needles had been pierced into his stomach. He gritted his teeth, went into the study and grabbed a bottle of spirits from the cabinet and drank it.

The intense stimulation made the colic more turbulent, like a huge wave rushing towards him, Jin Luo chuckled lightly, feeling extremely happy.

After taking a few sips, the wine overflowed from the corner of the mouth, rolled down the collarbone and slid into the depths of the chest, pulling out a seductive shining silver thread.

At the end of today's meeting, he successfully wiped out all the remnants of Jin Tian's legacy. Jin Tian, ​​who has lost his left and right arms, will never have a chance to come back. Then he will pursue the victory and beat the dog in the water. He is absolutely confident that he will do it, and everything is under control. , even that text message was expected, claiming to be sober, but always being too persistent in places that shouldn't be cared about, what's the point?

After raising his head to finish the drink, Jin Luo smashed the wine bottle with one hand, and looked back to find a figure stretching in from the door, staring at him.
