Contention

Taking another look at the billboard, she retracted her eyes expressionlessly, feeling less stuffy in her chest, and then walked towards the original meeting room.

When approaching the gate, Lu Yuexi was just about to step in when he suddenly saw a girl walking past behind with a box of water.

In the middle of the corridor, there is a stone curtain wall with hollowed out and painted gold. There are two steps down from the curtain wall, which is the place where the lecture she just saw was held.

The girl was heading for this conference room.

She pushed open the back door, bent down and walked in quietly.

Lu Yuexi watched quietly on the spot, and Assistant Wen followed her. Seeing that her expression was different, she could not help but whisper:

"Boss?"

She turned her head: "I have something to do, you just wait here. When Mr. Zhou comes out later, if you ask, you can call me."

"……it is good."

Lu Yuexi bypassed the curtain wall and walked towards the meeting room opposite.

Her leg injury has already healed, and today she is wearing a pair of black patent leather high heels, stepping on the cloud gray glazed tiles laid out in the hotel, making a few brisk sounds, and her steps are windy.

I don't know if the back door is locked or not, it must be abrupt for her to go in now.

But Lu Yuexi didn't want to care so much, stretched out his hand and tentatively gently twisted the copper doorknob.

The door was unlocked, and the girl just took it with her when she went in.

She controlled her strength well, and only opened a slit to silently peek inside.

The object of entry was the girl who had just entered the door carrying water, with a work card hanging on her chest, and was distributing water to the people sitting in the row of chairs one by one.

It was Hao Yushuang.

Looking forward, with just one glance, she saw the person on the stage that she had been looking forward to seeing all along.

Maybe the lecture hall is too big, and the microphone is used, so the speaker's voice is a little distorted.

It was not the clear and cold girlish voice that Lu Yuexi was used to.

The voices of the people on the stage were a little hoarse, but they were calm and powerful, and their words were clear, unhurried, and their words were orderly.

For some reason, the other party put on a pair of glasses with shallow half-frames, and the pair of slightly raised Ruifeng eyes were hidden behind a thin layer of lenses, like a window in winter covered with water, making it hard to see inside of.

She paused occasionally, and used the page-changing pen in her hand to switch to the next PPT.

Then his right index finger curled up slightly, seemingly unintentionally pushing up the glasses.

Then he turned his head to look at the audience, with a smile that was not a smile, and there was always a subtle hint of a bystander in his eyes.

She was still the same Zou Feiniao that Lu Yuexi knew, confident and intelligent, standing on the stage and talking eloquently, without any stage fright or embarrassment.

But some things seem to be different.

Lu Yuexi stared closely at Zou Feiniao on the stage, hoping to see something from her eyes.

But maybe he was too engrossed. When a question came from behind him suddenly, Lu Yuexi was rarely frightened. Looking back, it was Boss Yu who was looking at him with a smile.

"What are you doing?" She asked again, "Seeing that you are so engrossed, is there a meeting here?"

Zhou Weiye kept her identity secret, but he respected her very much.This person came from the capital again, either a ministerial cadre or the person in power of a merchant family.

Lu Yue regretted ignoring her, stood aside for a while, and replied in a low voice:

"A seminar on ecological protection."

"Oh, the one at the door?"

"Ah."

"Let me see." As the woman said, she also walked over lightly and glanced lightly into the lecture hall.

Lu Yuexi didn't expect that she would come to see it, so he had to stand further to the side to make room for her.

The woman is not young, she looks about forty years old, but her temperament is gentle and introverted, noble and calm.

Under the dark red knitted shawl is an off-white long dress, the most conspicuous of which is the pair of glass seed inlaid jade drop earrings she is wearing, with a touch of emerald green flowers floating in the middle, like green algae blooming in the lake, pure and natural.

She stared intently at the scene in the lecture hall, and Lu Yuexi lost interest. She stared at her for a moment, then turned to other places casually.

After a while, the woman looked away, closed the door, and said with a smile:

"That girl on stage is amazing."

Knowing that she was talking about Zou Feiniao, Lu Yuexi became a little interested:

"What a powerful method."

"It's been a long time since I saw someone who speaks so confidently. Her posture is very relaxed, and the content of the speech is very logical. Seeing how familiar she is, it must be written by myself."

Lu Yuexi was delighted by Kua, and showed a smile:

"I feel the same way."

"It's just that she is not very old, she still looks like a student." The woman said, feeling a little emotional for some reason, "Lvheng is getting younger and younger, and when I look inside, most of them are in their early 20s, young people Good is good, energetic and energetic, but too radical."

Lu Yuexi listened to her tone, and couldn't help but pause: "You, know this association?"

The woman nodded, with a smile on her well-maintained face, but her voice softened a bit:

"My husband used to be a member of the association."

Assistant Wen called at this time, presumably Zhou Weiye was looking for her.

Lu Yuexi hung up the phone, reached out his hand to signal, and walked back with Boss Yu.

After the seminar, there was still a dinner to attend, which was booked on the [-]th floor of this hotel, and it happened to be time for dinner.

Some people have already taken the elevator upstairs, and the rest are still on the first floor, chatting with each other in secret whispers.

Zhou Weiye obviously wanted to win over the relationship between Lu Yuexi and Boss Na Yu, seeing them walking side by side, he smiled complacently after being slightly stunned:

"I said where did you go, how are you doing, Yue Xi, have you talked with Boss Yu?"

Lu Yuexi nodded.

"Then I won't introduce you to each other. Let's talk about the rest upstairs." Zhou Weiye looked at Boss Yu again, put down his posture, respectful and cautious, "It's time for dinner, if you have nothing to do later, I will accompany you Do you have a meal?"

Boss Yu smiled: "You are the host, you arrange it."

Zhou Weiye accompanied her to the elevator door, followed by several people.

Lu Yuexi followed slowly, looking back inadvertently, and then stopped.

Zhou Weiye took the time to turn around:

"Yue Xi, let's go."

But Lu Yuexi said: "I met an acquaintance, I will go up immediately, you go first."

Zhou Weiye wanted to say something, but Boss Yu said:

"Hey, it's fate to meet an acquaintance here, you have to say hello, right? It won't be too late for her to come over later."

Zhou Weiye had no choice but to stop persuading, and walked forward with Boss Yu.

Lu Yuexi stood quietly on the spot, staring at a group of people walking towards her not far away without blinking.

When the distance was just right, she took the initiative to open her mouth and called out with a smile:

"Not a bird."

The girl in the crowd who was on the phone didn't respond, but Hao Yushuang, who was beside her, widened her eyes, pulled her sleeve, and called softly, "Not a bird, not a bird".

Neither of them made any big moves, but the middle-aged man in the middle stopped and asked:

"Fei Niao, does she know you?"

Zou Feiniao frowned, said to the other end of the phone, "I have something to do, I'll call you later" and hung up, finally looking up at Lu Yuexi.

The eyes covered by the lens were obscure, but the expression was as indifferent as before. After looking at the woman in front of him, he said:

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Yuexi's original smile faltered at this unexpected address.She frowned, and was rarely speechless, and walked directly towards Zou Feiniao.

"...I'll talk to her for a while, you go first." Zou Feiniao said softly to the people around him, "Don't go too fast, I'll follow in a while."

The rest thought it was a private matter, so they didn't care about it.Only Hao Yushuang couldn't help pulling her down, and Zou Feiniao patted her on the shoulder to let her go, and at the same time casually checked the time on the watch.

Then she glanced at Lu Yuexi, and then walked towards the curtain wall in the corridor.It's more secluded there, good for conversation.

Lu Yuexi didn't follow her, and stopped three steps away from her, a little annoyed:

"It's been so many days? Is it interesting to make trouble with me like this?"

Zou Feiniao suddenly turned to look at her, seeming a little amused.

But she didn't say anything, she just took off her glasses and wiped them with a soft cloth in her pocket.

This movement is slow and elegant, but it also seems boring and forbearing.

As if he was too lazy to reply to what she just said, he deliberately avoided this action.

Lu Yuexi watched her wiping her lenses, and asked, "Why are you wearing glasses?"

"I stayed up all night, and my prescription has dropped." Zou Feiniao replied lightly, put on his glasses again, guessing that he didn't want to stay for too long, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"A meeting, a business seminar." Lu Yuexi was still thinking about the "Boss Lu" she just said in her heart, and she was very hesitant, but she didn't care about it any more, just treated it as a child's temper, "What about you? Aren't you an intern?" ? Why did you come here for this lecture? What is Luheng? Who were those people just now?"

"Oh, the man who talked to me just now is my senior, and also a shareholder of the company where I went to intern. As for Luheng, isn't that written on the sign? It's a protection association, originally run by people from our school's alumni association Zou Feiniao answered patiently, because he intended to end the topic, and spoke quickly, "During the internship, the senior introduced this association to us, and Yushuang and I were both interested, so we participated. I will give a speech on stage this time. , is a performance opportunity for us newcomers given by the seniors."

Lu Yuexi suddenly said, "Actually, when you gave a speech just now..."

"Well, I saw you, at the back door."

They looked at each other, but Zou Feiniao's eyes were cold and unresponsive, she thought the other party didn't notice her.

Lu Yuexi quietly looked at the appearance of the girl in front of him, with deep and complicated eyes.

She had never seen Zou Feiniao like this before, as if she hadn't seen her for many years, she had grown into another person.

"...You these days," she paused, "how are you doing?"

Zou Feiniao ignored it, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said calmly:

"It's been five minutes."

Lu Yuexi shut his mouth, reacted, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Okay, let's go, they shouldn't be far away yet."

Zou Feiniao nodded, and when he passed sideways, he stopped suddenly without looking back, his voice was clear and clear, like water under snow:

"By the way, I sent you the whale bone you sent back. It's at Rong Jin's. Remember to sign for it."

Lu Yuexi was taken aback: "You don't like it?"

"Should I like it?" Zou Feiniao turned his back on it. Inexplicably, Lu Yuexi always felt that she was sneering, "What do you think my likes are? Like the rich man treats ivory as a collector? Such bones, if It's just a corpse salvaged from the bottom of the sea, I won't say much, but if it's artificially stripped out, do you think I'll like it?"

"..."

"Lu Yuexi." She finally sighed heavily, looking extremely helpless, "Stop doing such things, you don't understand me at all."
