Contention

After the forum, there will be group building activities arranged by the association, such as visiting Badaling and Hongluo Mountain.

Lu Yuexi wanted to take Zou Feiniao to a nearby ski resort, but the two made their own arrangement and didn't follow.

Before they left, Lu Yuexi had a meal with Qiu Jiayan and his two assistants, and talked about the future cooperation.

During the meal, she remembered the girl's request, so she said, "I heard that President Qiu plans to make a documentary?"

Qiu Jiayan said with a smile, "It wasn't the bird who told you."

Lu Yuexi said: "I don't have much experience in this area, but I am interested in sponsoring. If there is a need at that time, President Qiu will call me."

"That really helped me a lot." Qiu Jiayan clinked a glass with her. It was just a drink, not wine. After all, I still have my own things to do after dinner. "I would like to thank Boss Lu first."

Lu Yue smiled regretfully.

Back at the hotel, Zou Feiniao was writing something on the iPad with a stylus, which clicked.

Lu Yuexi walked over to have a look, and sneered, "It's true, you can't walk without making a plan, right?"

Zou Feiniao smiled: "It has to be arranged one by one. The ski resort, Xiangshan Park, and the entrance of the old alley. I can't stay for a few days. There are so many things I want to see."

"It's not that I won't come again in the future." Lu Yuexi spread out the snacks he bought on the way on the table one by one, "If I want to come over to play, I'll bring you here anytime."

"But I go back to school to study, so I can't just come when I want to."

Suddenly mentioned this, the topic stagnated.

It was like stepping on a stone, and the heart sank slightly.

"...Then wait until you come back from graduation." Lu Yuexi's eyes wandered for a moment, then fell on her face again, "I'm not in my [-]s or [-]s, I can afford to wait."

Feeling that these words were a bit heavy, he waved his hand and greeted her, "Come and eat, I brought it for you, or it will be cold."

Although I didn't talk about it anymore, I couldn't help but silently count in my mind.

It has only been half a year since she went abroad to study, and she will have to study for another year and a half for a master's degree.

Later, I applied for a Ph.D. program, and it took another three years.

The journey is long and the time is long.

The time she spends with this child is indeed very few.

"Feiniao..." suddenly sighed softly, "How long have we known each other?"

Zou Feiniao said, "It's been five years."

Lu Yuexi smiled and lowered his eyes: "That's it, let's take another five years."

After returning from playing in Beijing, Lu Yuexi exported the photos from his phone, printed them all, and put them in a photo album.

She is used to collecting these, thinking how interesting it will be to look through them when she gets old.

It's just that when I was sorting out, I couldn't help but think of the photo album that she burned.

Lu Yuexi stayed up all night that day, watching the burning flames slowly devour the photos, the portraits on them gradually changed beyond recognition, and then turned into ashes.

Just like that memory, after struggling, I was still given up by myself.

No one is a saint.

It was then that she suddenly understood this truth.

Even if Zou Feiniao is as calm and restrained as Zou Feiniao, she will definitely feel resentment because of her past, even if she will not express it.

In the world of love, who doesn't want to be unique, with eyes that can't be rubbed with sand.

Zou Feiniao couldn't stay at home, so after the new year, he thought about going to see the project in Rui County.

Lu Yuexi drove her there.

The science popularization base opened at the beginning of this year, and all the special areas were completed after autumn.

There is a popular science experience hall in the center of the base. It is not big, about a hundred square meters, but there are many things, and many models of marine life are displayed.

Among them is a rocking car with a whale model, which costs one yuan each time.

Sitting on it, it will make all kinds of whale sounds.

Humpbacks go "boo-boo," orcas go "boo-boo," and sperm whales go "tack-tack."

Lu Yuexi sat on it to play a few times, but his legs were too long, so he had to curl up.The model made sounds while shaking, and the lights were flashing, and the children next to her were all looking at her.

After getting down, he patted his clothes, with a depressed expression on his face: "What the hell, that's not in the planning book written by those people."

Zou Feiniao rarely laughed out loud: "Then you still play so many times?"

After walking around, the two came to the southwest corner of the base and sat down for a while.

There's a cliff there, and down there is a sandy beach.The tide is flat and the sea is wide, and the beach is full of reeds.

A lighthouse was built on a high ground not far away, whistling in the wind.

"My great-grandfather is a fisherman." Sitting on the bench, Lu Yuexi looked at the sea, and said slowly, "He is a captain, leading a boat of people out during the day and returning at night, and his anchor and fishing nets are kept at home. ..."

She gestured, "The fishing net is about [-] square meters and weighs nearly a ton. Grandpa said, put it away and pass it on. Although our family's business is prosperous now, we must not forget our roots."

He stroked his hair again and said with a smile, "So our family heirlooms are these boats and fishing nets."

Zou Feiniao listened quietly, and sighed with emotion: "People in our city really depend on the sea to eat the sea. If you jump over, the sky will open up."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then opened his mouth, "My mentor yesterday..."

"I know." Lu Yuexi interrupted her warmly, "Are you going back? He called you yesterday, and I heard it."

"Well, it was temporarily arranged to go to Namibia to communicate with relevant personnel there. The quota needs to be applied for, and the instructor suggested that I go."

"That's a good thing." Of course, Lu Yuexi had no objection, and the disappointment was quickly put away, "Go."

After thinking about it, he added, "But next time I go to see you, you are not allowed to break the appointment."

It's about whale watching in Kaikoura.

Zou Feiniao smiled: "I know."

Seeing Lu Yuexi's hesitant look, she leaned over again, lightly slid her lips over the tip of her nose, and repeated: "I know."

After the new year, spring began, and it finally became warmer.It's just that the temperature is capricious, which is really unbearable.

The temperature rose for a while, and the crabapple flowers planted in the garden were blown by the warm wind, and all of them bloomed.

As a result, the temperature suddenly dropped again two days later, and the freshly bloomed flowers were so cold that they were drooping.

Lu Yuexi got the flu from this horrible weather, and kept sneezing.

One pass two, two pass three.

Even Lu Zimo started to have a runny nose and had to take a sick day to rest at home.

During the day, I took advantage of lunch time to video with Zou Feiniao, but the Internet was not very smooth there, one card after another.

But the picture is still clear, the girl smiled slightly, looked down at her, her jawline was smooth and tight.

However, it is obvious that there is a lot of tanning.

Lu Yuexi made himself a cup of wolfberry and red date tea, and listened to her talk about what she did today while blowing the cold. There was also a lunch box bought by Assistant Wen on the table.

It's daytime here, but it's already evening at Zou Feiniao's place, almost nightfall.

Behind him is a wooden house made of Balau wood. A chandelier with a holly-colored shade hangs from the ceiling. The light is bright, and occasionally moths flutter past.

Zou Feiniao said: "Dive today, a brother touched a piece of stone carved on it. The texture and shape are strange, like tenons on some kind of building."

Lu Yuexi opened the lunch box, because the dishes were light due to illness.

She sighed: "And then?"

"Everyone was very excited, thinking that they had discovered a new underwater ancient civilization, such as Lemuria and Atlantis..."

"Oh?"

"As a result, the instructor came to take a look, knocked, and found a vague trademark at the bottom. It was not a stone, it looked like a mechanical arm, and it should be on a child's toy."

"..." Lu Yuexi covered her lips and coughed lightly, "This is really true."

After Zou Feiniao noticed it, he asked, "Are you sick?"

"Flu, nothing."

In the afternoon, Lu Yuexi received a call from Aunt Fang and went to her house for dinner after get off work.

Chicken soup was boiled and Chinese medicinal materials were simmered.

After the meal, Aunt Fang cooked a bowl of soup with eggs, shredded ginger and brown sugar for her to drink.

Lu Yuexi was slightly taken aback.

Aunt Fang said, "Feiniao said you have a cold, so you drank this cold medicine."

Lu Yuexi smiled: "This child, I even troubled you specially."

Still obediently took the egg ginger soup and finished it slowly.

A week later, Zou Feiniao's exchange activity ended, and he went back to school to continue doing experiments and writing papers.

Spring is here in Oucheng, and autumn is gradually coming in Oakland.

Zou Feiniao went out for a walk and took pictures of the autumn scenery of Mount Wellington.

The thatch is gradually yellowing, and the wild beech trees and tulip trees are also gradually becoming autumnal. Facing the thin sunlight, the branches and leaves show a thick gray-brown color.

Zou Feiniao said: It is suitable for a picnic.

Lu Yuexi raised his eyebrows, and sent a sentence: invite me to enjoy autumn?

He made a quick decision and asked for leave to buy a plane ticket to fly there.

Before boarding the plane, Lu Heng called and scolded her: "There are a lot of things left, what are you doing?"

Lu Yuexi said calmly, "Visit relatives."

After a few days of willful travel, I feel at ease, and I have to go to work without complaint.

This year, Huiyan put its overseas expansion plan on the agenda. The project in Pakistan is still under construction, and another boss from the Philippines talked with them about business and invited investment.

Lu Yuexi sent someone to investigate, and one day he chatted with Zou Feiniao about the matter, and also gave the detailed address of the project location.

Zou Feiniao was serious, and said, "Wait a minute."

As he spoke, he temporarily left the iPad screen, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Ten minutes later, he came back again and said, "Be careful."

Lu Yuexi lifted his head: "What's wrong?"

"There is a doctoral supervisor in the chemical materials major who has a good relationship with our supervisor. He complained about this project when we had dinner together a while ago." Zou Feiniao frowned. He said that he was constantly litigating. At that time, he followed his friends and had the idea of ​​investing, but he withdrew after learning about it.”

Lu Yuexi frowned, and quickly learned more about the situation with Zou Feiniao, before hanging up the video call and calling the subordinates sent to investigate.

After talking about this matter, I reminded them to focus on investigating this matter, and it must be detailed, so as not to be deliberately concealed by the boss.

Two days later, I received an email, and it was true.

The boss probably felt that this matter should not be publicized, and hid it rather deeply. Not only did he not mention it, he even submitted a fake information to them.

Therefore, the subordinates are secretly investigating.

After Lu Yuexi told them to come back quickly, he didn't expose the matter.He only said that the company was short of funds recently, and it was not working well, so he rejected the boss.

Afterwards, she smiled and said to Zou Feiniao: "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise we would have made a lot of trouble."

Zou Feiniao didn't take it seriously: "It's just a coincidence, it's not my credit. Even if I don't tell you, your subordinates will find out."

"But you reminded me first, didn't you?" Lu Yuexi smiled unabated, as if remembering something, Wei Wei softened his tone, "At that time you said that you were chasing after family background, now it seems that you don't need to worry, Feiniao, you are already fine Look, you can do me such a big favor."

Zou Feiniao was silent.

"Just do what you want. You don't have to always think about giving me an original copy of those things."

After a long silence, looking at the woman on the screen, she finally felt relieved, and sighed: "Yeah."

Work here, handle documents, hold meetings and socialize.

Do projects there, write papers, publish journals.

Two years later, Zou Feiniao graduated with a master's degree.

She submitted a Ph.D. application, changed her supervisor and research direction, and continued her Ph.D.

In October of that year, Boyi suddenly ran back to China.

The reason is that the documentary prepared by Qiu Jiayan was finally officially released, and it was only shown in domestic theaters.

Lu Yuexi invested 50 in it, and didn't pay attention to how the filming went.

Zou Feiniao deliberately came back to look, and she followed suit.

There are very few people in the show, very few.

But there are benefits to having fewer people.

Quiet, immersed, and alone in deep thought.

Turn off the lights and turn on the screen.

The tide rises and falls, the sun rises and the moon rises.

Whales chirped and jumped up from the sea.

When it fell, the audience in the stadium was boiling and noisy.

people, animals.Money, and false posters.

The second half is a display of various data, and there are many shots that cannot be searched on the bright side.

It was too bloody.

The nature of the film is public welfare, meaningless income.

There are not many people who follow it, but a few bloggers repost and recommend it.

Zou Feiniao said: "The president just filmed it for others to see. He felt that such a documentary should exist, so he filmed it."

Lu Yue smiled sadly.

After staying for two days, I had to fly back again.

Both are now accustomed to the long journey of the plane.
