Ruler Book

Chapter 4

Although Mr. He's promise was worth a thousand gold, but it fell into Xiao Yunjian's ears, but he just dropped it heavily, and was gently let go by him.

He is 27 years old this year. He is not a 17-year-old boy. Youth flies by. You can live like this until you are old, and you will never have the risk of being kicked out.

What's more, when you are at a fork in the road with no chance of winning, you might as well stand at the entrance of the forest to ensure that you have the maximum freedom. When you are lonely, you don't need to be accompanied by others, and you don't need to win the sincerity of others. As a trophy to show off, he doesn't need that form of approval.

Many years ago, in the late autumn of the mountain city, the eyes of his ex-girlfriend wanted to say, but he still had a thousand words hidden in them, and he had understood all of them many years later.

Don't just give your sincerity to anyone wishful thinking, it will only make the other party feel unrequited guilt.And guilt is the most useless, because people who want to leave you will never stop moving forward because of the dispensable guilt in their hearts.

With such a mentality, Xiao Yunjian continued to live his life in an orderly manner in the new year.

After the movie finished, he took time to go back to Beijing, but he didn't visit the art museum under He Yi's name to appreciate the Impressionist masterpiece up close. Instead, he accepted a date request from an obedient child and stole his life With half a day free, go ice skating in Houhai with the other party.After coaxing people well, I can pack up and go back to my hometown to spend the New Year with my parents without any worries.

Although Xiao Yun has improved year by year in the past two years since his debut, compared with those popular streamers who have appeared in various variety shows at various evening shows, he is still a little unknown in the eyes of the public.

On New Year's Eve, when he looked at the strange or familiar faces on the TV, he couldn't help but start to look forward to what he would be like this time next year.

But not being popular also has its advantages. At least on New Year’s Eve, the whole family can have a reunion dinner together, and when there are few people on the street during the Spring Festival holiday, you can go out shopping with your mother without worrying about wearing a mask and hat buy shoes.

On a winter afternoon, the sun was shining warmly on his body. On the way back to the parking lot after shopping for shoes, Xiao Yun heard the cries of fried chestnuts in sugar. His heart moved. After saying hello to his mother, he hurried back and walked to When the vendor was about to ask the price, he saw a car parked on the side of the road.

The make and model of the car were not common, so he subconsciously took another look, and in his impression, it was... "He, He Yi!"

Probably because the face that appeared after the car window was rolled down was so familiar, Xiao Yun blurted out the real name of the other party in the extreme shock.

It's not like he didn't imagine it before, maybe in Paris, Hong Kong or any corner of the world, but he never imagined that he would run into each other on the street in his hometown, "Why are you here?"

"Come to Chongqing on a business trip." He Yi answered concisely, and Xiao Yunjian also noticed that there were other people sitting in the car, all of them were elite men and women in full formal attire, who looked like they were on their way to a business negotiation and were caught People stopped for no reason.

He felt a little embarrassed for his rashness, scratched the back of his head, "Sorry, my mother is still waiting for me over there, don't bother you, let's go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around in a hurry, but was suddenly stopped by the person sitting in the car, "Sean, wait a minute, if you have no other arrangements, come with me."

He Yi's assistants got out of the car with winks, and Xiao Yun could only call his mother, saying that he met a friend on the road and couldn't go home with her.

After a while, apart from the driver, there were only him, He Yi, and a young lady sitting in the front co-pilot.When Xiao Yun got into the car, the other party turned around, stretched out his right hand, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, I am Mr. He's lawyer, and my surname is Xu."

"Hello, Lawyer Xu, I'm Sean." He stretched out his hand to shake it back, his eyes met, and he saw the female lawyer looking at him with a half-smile. There was not much malice in her eyes, but full of curiosity, " It turns out that you are Sean, seeing is believing."

He Yi's personal lawyer is not only young and beautiful, but also has a very close relationship with his employer. If it weren't for the dazzling pigeon egg on his right ring finger, others would probably have some unnecessary misunderstandings. "We will go to the Children's Welfare Institute in Chongqing to pay New Year's greetings, and we will make some follow-up donations," she took the initiative to introduce the upcoming itinerary to Xiao Yunjian, "It's just Mr. He's private visit, and there will be no media reporters There will be no exposure, so you can rest assured."

"Well," he nodded, but in the next second he found that the other party's attention was still not diverted from him, "To be honest, I thought it was quite boring to go out to work during the Chinese New Year, let alone being away for two days. , and missed a good show in the city for nothing. Fortunately, I can meet a handsome guy, it’s not a loss," the female lawyer casually played with the engagement ring on her hand while muttering, "But, speaking of it... ..."

She was eloquent all the way, but when she said this, she suddenly stopped inexplicably. Through the refraction of the rearview mirror, Xiao Yun saw that the other party seemed to be silently asking the employer's opinion with his eyes to decide what he would say next.

But He Yi just interrupted her calmly, "Shanhe, help me check the agreement again to see if there is any problem."

"In the ancient city of Bayu, Tushanzishui is called Xiulin, and people have heard of it. How many sunny days are reflected on the bumpy road, so many lonely little sisters and little brothers, when they meet pins and needles, they have nothing to hate, and they will never see each other. Planting a clean family, you must respect yourself, and don't let your future down."

In the reference room of the Children's Welfare Institute, the phonograph played the school song when it was founded a hundred years ago. As a native of Chongqing, Xiao Yun couldn't remember whether it was the first time he stepped into the gate of the Children's Welfare Institute. Maybe he was a volunteer in elementary school. time has come?He thought uncertainly, and then stared at the old photos hanging on the wall in a daze.

He originally thought that He Yi's trip was to inspect the implementation of the donation on behalf of the family's charity foundation, but he learned from Xu Shanhe later that everything had nothing to do with Shiguang. Mr. He had been using the E&E fund established in his own name all along. , long-term funding for welfare homes.

E&E, Elaine&Evis, every time He Tang ridiculed Yang Chujun before meeting Xiao Yun, he would use the English name of the other party as a sneer. After listening to it a lot, it is not difficult for Xiao Yun to guess the meaning behind the name. Evis It's He Yi, and Elaine...

His eyes fell on a large group photo on the wall, which dates back to 20 years ago and was reported on the local news at that time. All the guests attending the ceremony, the leaders, and the outstanding students who were funded were carefully marked under the photo. The name of the student, Xiao Yunjian, who is slightly short-sighted, walked up to the photo and silently recited a certain name.

Jiang Mian.

This name corresponds to a little girl standing in the middle of the crowd, about the same age as He Tang, holding a letter of admission written in cursive English, with an innocent smile on her face.

After finishing the trip to the Children's Welfare Institute, it was almost time for dinner. Just as Xiao Yun was hesitating whether to invite him to dinner as a landlord, the well-dressed professional elites not far away discussed and explained the matter and got into the car one after another. Leave, leaving only the big boss alone.

"Aren't you going back with them?"

"Where are we going to eat later?"

The two asked each other in unison, and as soon as the words came out, they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

As a gender-reversed lady, Xiao Yunjian took out her mobile phone again and called home to report. After hanging up the phone, she heard the people around her ask with great interest, "What time is the access control?"

"Of course it's before the clock strikes midnight and the princess turns back into Cinderella." Seeing Xiao Yun, who knows more than one fairy tale at his fingertips, his focus is entirely on the banquet menu, "You come to Chongqing, Is there anything you want to eat, by the way, you can't eat spicy food, so it's a bit difficult..."

Xiao Yunjian quickly searched for local non-spicy food in his mind. He Yi likes sweet food, so take him to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, cold cakes, or crispy meat?Just when he was thinking wholeheartedly whether he would be despised if he ordered Yuanyang pot in a hot pot restaurant in Chongqing, the other party had already solved his fear of choice first.

"I want to eat pea noodles."

In Chongqing, a small shop that eats noodles will basically not be able to open without a bowl of pea noodles. As a local specialty snack like small noodles, pea noodles are mainly made of peas and miscellaneous sauce, served with onion, ginger, and garlic. The ingredients are smooth, the peas are soft and glutinous, the noodles are firm, and the miscellaneous sauce is sweet, and when the boss orders, he takes care of the other party's taste, and Xiao Yunjian even specially told not to add spicy.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the noodles will be lumpy in a while." Fully absorbing the lessons learned from the past year when he entertained Xiangfang from the idol group to eat the noodles, when the noodles were served, Xiao Yun greeted the other party to eat quickly without saying a word, but The person sitting opposite was also very cooperative. After the two of them cleaned up the noodles in the bowl, Xiao Yun realized belatedly, oh my god, he actually brought He Yi to the fly restaurant in the alley Eat noodles.

"I... Although the environment of this shop is not good, the noodles are quite famous." He drank a big cup of Laoyin tea and asked anxiously, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, next time you can try adding some chili."

He Yi took out two tissues, and handed one to Xiao Yun, "When I was young, I had a special liking for the delicious food in small roadside shops, and used to ask me to go out, compared to the shops he took me to, The environment here is very good.”

After speaking, he looked up and looked around the layout, "This is the first time I have come to Chongqing. I used to hear Mianmian say that her hometown has beautiful scenery, beautiful food and delicious food. It really lives up to its reputation."

With the old photo in the orphanage archives as a basis, Xiao Yunjian was not too surprised that Mr. He's first love girlfriend was from his hometown. In contrast, he was more curious about another detail, "The first When you come to Chongqing once, don’t most people want to try hot pot?”

He Yi pursed his lips and smiled, "But what you treated your friends to eat during Chinese New Year last year, wasn't it just a bowl of noodles?"

"How do you know that we went to eat pea noodles, and you sent someone to follow us?" He Yi's words were like throwing a stone into water, causing turbulent waves in Xiao Yunjian's heart.

Impossible, at that time he and He Yi had a falling out, and it was impossible for the other party to have leisure time to find someone to watch him. He thought about the timeline carefully, and suddenly realized something, and suddenly felt dumbfounded, "You didn't mean to watch him take pictures. your VLOG?"

For Xiao Yunjian, last year's Spring Festival was a chaotic one.First, after being refrigerated by the company for more than half a year, he finally got a chance to star in a youth school drama, but was cut off before joining the group.Then the idol group I belonged to has been idle for a long time, and when it was about to get ready to restart, the plan was completely stranded after a shocking scandal in which a member of the group was kicked by the paparazzi, broke the secret marriage, cheated, and capsized countless boats. Their return is far away,

Just when everyone disbanded on the spot and went home for the New Year, the group had a good relationship with him, Xiang Fang, who formed the CP together, suddenly flew to Chongqing, begging for comfort with a distressed expression.Although I am also in a mess here, I don't know what to do in the future, but Xiao Yunjian, who has always been considerate to others, still did not refuse his partner's help, and invited a casual friend to accompany Xiangfang to walk around half of the mountain city, comforting him happily , and then put the other party on the plane back to Guangzhou.

Then, on the light rail back from the plane, he received an unexpected phone call.

"Mr. He?" As the sun was approaching dusk, looking at the sky and clouds outside the window, the young man took several deep breaths before he could barely restrain the impatience in his heart, and said helplessly, "I know that I didn't know before." Flattery, but I am responsible for my own profit and loss, please don't do it again in the future..."

"sorry."

The culprit who caused him to be refrigerated by the company for more than half a year actually opened his mouth with an apology, and his tone sounded very sincere. Seeing that Xiao Yun was immediately caught off guard by the other party's moodiness, he wondered if he was also hurt by the prime minister. Emotional infection, hallucinations appeared in broad daylight.

He Yi was apologizing to him. How could it be possible that Mr. He who stepped on him was like trampling an ant to death, who could make disobedient people retreat in a matter of minutes, is actually apologizing to himself?

And on the phone, this belated and incredible apology continued, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood some time ago, and I made some extreme reactions. I didn't expect it to seriously affect your work and life. I'm sorry. If you don't mind, I will try my best to redeem and correct my mistakes..."
