I watched Chen Weihai skillfully ordered two martinis, and asked straight to the point: "Does Young Master Chen know the owner of this club?"

He glanced at me and said with a faint smile, "I'm also one of the investors. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me directly."

Well, it’s better to hurry up, so I sorted out the language: “I want to ask the waiters here to arrange shifts, can I add someone to it? Just add a name, if someone asks, it’s good to know that this person works here .”

"What, you want an alibi?" He joked, handing me the cocktail glass, "This is terrible."

I shook my head: "No... just chasing people."

"Oh, there are a lot of ways to fall in love now..." He seemed to find it very interesting, and looked me up, "Interesting. All right, I'll talk to the foreman."

He beckoned to the girl who stopped me before, and talked to her about it, and the girl politely replied: "No problem, but I need this gentleman to provide his name and photo, and fill out a basic information form, so that we can register at the Employee Handbook."

"Jun Yan." I said, "Forget it, I can't explain clearly. Let me add your contact information. Do you need any more information? It should be troublesome, thank you."

She smiled: "Okay, you can tell me how you want to arrange shifts and other requirements. We take the requirements of customers as the standard, and it is our honor to provide you with services. In addition, please rest assured that we are true to customers. Information is confidential."

Look at this sense of service, this attitude, nothing to say.I added the foreman with a trumpet, and Chen Weihai kept looking at us thoughtfully, and waited until the girl left before saying, "You're good at playing, the rich second generation pretends to be a poor boy, to experience life?"

I smiled sheepishly, and thought of another thing, I took out a business card from my wallet and handed it to him: "If you need help, Young Master Chen, just ask me, I will do my best."

The business card was printed by Xu Yucheng when I was an art investment company, and it looks very decent.In fact, I said this with a guilty conscience. After all, my abilities are limited. Unless Chen Weihai is interested in antiques, I can still help out.He took the business card, glanced at it, and clinked glasses with me with a smile: "Just make friends. I went to your company's auction last month, and it went well. Those bottles and jars look good too." , It's a pity that I, a layman, can only watch the fun."

"Thanks to Mr. Chen for looking up to me." I showed a sincere smile, because last month's auction was handled by me from the planning to the venue. During that time, I was busy with both the auction and Sun Ning's project. Almost exhausted.Now Chen Weihai has indirectly affirmed my ability, making me feel that all the efforts are very worthwhile, "We will have a contemporary art exhibition at the end of spring this year, and there will be an auction after the end. Is Young Master Chen interested in coming to see it?"

"Okay, many of my buddies are very interested in these things, we will go together if we are free." He added my contact information, "Let me know when the time comes. And what is it called Young Master Chen, it sounds uncomfortable , call me brother."

"Thank you Brother Chen, I will definitely notify you."

When I walked out of the gate, I was still a little excited holding the phone. It was different from my personal relationship with Lin Ya, who went out to play together. Being able to contact and become friends on formal occasions by my own ability was the license to enter another circle.

Maybe one day I can have my own social circle, and I hope that day will not be too far away.

I went back and ordered lunch at the hotel. After eating, the weather was fine and the sun was warm on my body, so I simply took the sodium chloride downstairs and walked around a few times.After the walk, I went back to take the elevator. I led the dog and pressed the floor alone. Before the elevator was about to close, a woman's voice came from outside the door: "Wait!"

I quickly pressed the door open button, and a tall girl in fashionable clothes walked towards the elevator.It stands to reason that catching the elevator at this time is a bit embarrassing, but she walked in with a calm and graceful pace. If someone with a bad temper waited in the elevator, she might want to beat her up.I glanced at her, turned my back and put on the hood, holding NaCl tightly in my hand.It's a pity that the elevator has been closed, and I can't escape even if I want to run.

"Please press the 24th floor... Hey, I have pressed it." Her voice was sweet and melodious, as if she was talking to herself, "There is only one household on the first floor."

I hid my face in the hood, but NaCl enthusiastically approached the girl's legs. Obviously, Samoyed's intimacy does not distinguish between people.The girl stood beside me, and the floor slowly went up, she suddenly said: "Xu Junyan, I'm not that scary, am I?"

I knew that she would definitely recognize me, so I simply took off the hood and said indifferently: "Who knows, maybe you are more vicious than before."

I said she was vicious, but she laughed wildly, as if she heard some joke.Xue Keming fiddled with his long, wavy hair, took off his sunglasses and smiled at me: "Long time no see, living together with Yang Chen? Congratulations."

"He's not at home, you came at the wrong time, please come back."

As soon as I got to the floor, I didn't want to wear it for a moment, and I took the sodium chloride out of the elevator.But Xue Keming followed behind me, his high-heeled shoes stepped on the tiles and made a crisp sound: "I'm not looking for him, I'm here for you. Walk slowly!"

I walked swiftly to open the door first, and was about to turn around and shut her out, but she squatted not far from the elevator, with a painful face on her face: "Oh, I sprained my ankle!"

I stared at her for a while, seeing that she was covering her feet like a fake, and then looked at her stiletto high heels that were at least ten centimeters in length, it seemed normal to sprain her feet when she walked too fast.Xue Keming sat on the ground with a bitter face and disregarded his image, his voice became crying: "It hurts... Who told you to walk so fast, I won't eat you!"

I sighed, and after thinking about it, I went over to help her up: "Are you all right?"

Unexpectedly, Xue Keming quickly grabbed my neck, immediately changed into a smug smile, and ordered: "I can't go, you hug me."

I took a few deep breaths, restrained the urge to throw her directly on the ground, and reached out to hug her up.Fortunately, Xue Keming looks tall, but in fact he is slender and not very heavy.I carried her to the sofa in the living room and sat down, took off her high-heeled shoes and touched her lightly through the stockings: "The instep seems to be swollen, isn't it acting?"

"I never act with my body." She didn't look like she was squatting there pitifully before, and said calmly after taking a look, "It's not serious, but I need a cold compress. Xu Junyan, get me an ice towel."

I really wanted to whip her up and tell her to go away, but it happened at the door of Yang Chen's house, lest the girl would say something embellished, so I had to get her a cold towel and put it on.

Xue Keming looked at me with a smile: "I want to drink water, there is peach juice in Yang Chen's refrigerator, pour me a cup."

"I'm used to you, there are only mineral water and wine in the refrigerator." I crossed my arms and looked at her, "What do you want to say, just leave."

"Go and have a look, look for it, I'm thirsty."

I was annoyed by her, so I opened the refrigerator and searched, and sure enough, I found several boxes of fresh peach juice in the innermost part of the fresh-keeping layer.Poured a cup for Xue Keming, she took a sip from the cup and looked up at me: "Don't you ask me how I know?"

"Not interested, just leave after applying." I said, "Even if you know the color of Yang Chen's underwear today, it has nothing to do with me."

Xue Keming curled his lips, and said to himself: "Because this is my favorite brand, he will prepare fresh ones every week, even if I don't come here often. Hey, NaCl has grown so big, Come give my sister a hug."

I watched her play with Samoyed with cold eyes. This kind of dog kisses everyone, not to mention Xue Keming, even if a thief comes, it will rub against people.

"Xu Junyan, you've changed." She stroked Na Chloride's head and said, "You've changed a lot."

"I think you've changed even more."

I am still brooding about what happened in the past, but I also know that what hurt me the most back then was not Xue Keming's slander, but Yang Chen's neglect and inaction.However, people like her will not be offended if they can't be offended, so she has always maintained a cold attitude.

In my eyes, Xue Keming has changed from elegant and indifferent to noisy and cunning. Although I know that she may have such a personality, it’s just that the distance between me and her was too far at that time. She is still the unreachable but vicious "goddess".In fact, if you think about it, you know that people who can use that kind of low-handed means to force and slander others should be selfish and self-willed.

"But you've got what you wanted, Yang Chen is yours now, please be satisfied." She changed her brisk tone, "However, we can be regarded as people who have had the same man before, what kind of attitude do you have, be polite to me Would you like to order?"

"It's polite enough that I didn't kick you out." I was still wary of this woman in front of me, but in fact, the only one she could threaten me was Yang Chen, and now I don't care, "If you came here just to do something boring Things, such as me showing off my former ownership, or sowing discord between me and Yang Chen, then please leave, it is meaningless except to lose your reputation."

"I have a boyfriend, so I won't rob you." She said with a smile, "I'm just here to tell you something."

I decided that she was here to scare me today, so I also poured myself a glass of peach juice, and prepared to ignore all her next words.

"Yang Chen is getting married." She looked at me, put away her joking expression, "It's not a joke engagement, it's a marriage."

I held the cup in silence for a moment: "When?"

"Within this year." She said, "The other party is Yang Chen's college classmate."

"He's only 22 years old, so anxious?"

"The Yang family is going to shift their focus abroad. I don't know the background of that woman for the time being, but the help of her family is definitely indispensable in the process." Xue Keming was silent for a moment, "Uncle Yang is a far-sighted person, and the things he decides will not change."

I don't know whether the spring of real estate has passed, but the number of policy adjustments has become more and more frequent in recent years.I rubbed my chin: "Then how unlucky you are, the engagement since childhood has been voided?"

Xue Keming didn't expect my reaction, so he gave me a glare, and said angrily, "My family is in the system, and the way his family walks is different. It is impossible to get married in the first place."

"Then you were crazy in high school?"

"I'm not allowed to have fantasies anymore? It will be difficult to meet a man as handsome as Yang Chen in the future." She said, "My business is over here, what are you going to do? That woman may not have such a broad mind as me. I have to leave my husband to raise a man outside."

I looked at her inexplicably: "What should I do? I'm just living here temporarily, I'll get married when I get married, and I can go back to my own home after breaking up, how comfortable. Besides, I don't rely on Yang Chen for food, without him I am a man Can you starve yourself to death?"

She was speechless by me, and after a while she slowly asked: "Don't you...love him?"

I pretended that I didn’t hear this question, and continued: “I don’t think Yang Chen will agree. He originally wanted to make a career on his own. His father decided to marry him without his consent. I don’t know when the time comes. How noisy, this matter is not yet."

"You think too much, no matter how hard his wings are, they are no match for Uncle Yang." Xue Keming shook his head, "Where do you think Yang Chen got the money to buy this house? His pocket money, the fund and connections he needs to start a business , Which one is not obtained by our own father? People like us will always be the children of the parents' generation. Blessing us to be superior to others is also a shadow that we will never get rid of."

She said this in frustration, as if she was expressing her feelings, but in the end she actually showed a wry smile.I put down the glass and said indifferently: "Then let's separate, I'll wait for him to tell me in person."

"I'm just here to remind you, you can take care of yourself." Xue Keming saw that he couldn't communicate with me, stood up with the sofa, and resumed his high-spirited young lady, "I'm leaving."

"Are your feet okay?" I saw that she was not walking very well, "How about I help you down?"

"It's okay." She looked back into my eyes, "This little pain is nothing. Xu Junyan, you surprised me, but I still appreciate you."

"What do you appreciate about me?"

"I appreciate your reason. It's the right choice not to love Yang Chen, otherwise you will be the one who suffers. You are in a very good state now, so keep it up."

This sentence can be said to have reached my heart, and I couldn't help but answer: "Of course, thank you for the compliment."

I sent her out, Xue Keming smiled and took out the phone and shook it in front of me. The name of Yang Chen and the interface of "calling" on it made me stand still.

"Xu Junyan, okay, you have the ability." Yang Chen suppressed his angry cold voice from the phone, and he hung up the call after he finished speaking.She smiled faintly at me, vaguely showing the arrogant and contemptuous look I was familiar with back then: "Unfortunately, everyone will always believe me, and you have never been smart enough."

"Xue Keming!!"

Anger of being cheated filled my heart, but Xue Keming walked briskly into the elevator with high heels, and even winked at me: "I have danced ballet for so many years, why do you think my insteps are like ordinary people? Really simple."

I clenched my fists and watched her face disappear behind the elevator door, she smiled at me: "Thank you for the cold towel, goodbye."
