don't ask about those years

"Qi's has announced that it will soon jointly develop a high-end smart retirement community with He's, with a total investment of 200 billion!"

Hearing what Xue Jing said, the team members immediately took a closer look, and then pointed to the news and said, isn't it the two companies joining forces, and there is no mention of the president's engagement?

"What do you know! This is a marriage even if it is a political marriage, 200 billion, what is more reassuring than two marriages to invest money in!"

Xue Jing pointed at them and said: "You people who have no political acumen or news observation skills, the headlines have already taken a photo of the two of them together in the United States yesterday, and news from the headquarters has recently released that it is accurate. The crown prince and the daughter of the He family are going to get married, as long as the project is settled, it is basically an established fact!"

After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the table and sighed non-stop, "I'm really just a dreamer. Now everyone pays attention to the combination of strong and strong, and the right family. Even if I wear real Chanel, it looks like a fake. How can I talk to others? A real celebrity comparison, I heard that He Xinyi's grandfather is an admiral, the government and the business team together, it's a good story through the ages! Ahhh!"

The team members finally figured out what was going on with Xue Jing, and they laughed and said that Sister Jing is a famous lady in our eyes. If you don’t dislike them, you can find us to deal with them. Xue Jing smiled angrily and coaxed them away. .

……

Lin Fan stared at the computer screen for a long time without changing his posture. It was not until everyone went back to work again that he slowly put his stiff hands back on the desktop, opened a website, and entered "Qi Shi He Shi" keywords.

Sure enough, as Xue Jing said, the Internet is full of news about the cooperation of two companies. Based on the memory he heard just now, he entered the names of Qi Tian and He Xinyi, and then saw a picture of Qi Tian opening the passenger door for a woman. Back view photo.

Even though only the side profile was photographed, Lin Fan recognized the woman he saw downstairs that day based on her approximate height and hair length.

The gossip website did not state the matter of engagement, but only vaguely expressed the information that the two were photographed traveling together in the United States, and they were suspected to be in love...

After closing the computer interface, his hands suddenly felt a little cold, so Lin Fan got up and went to the lounge to make a cup of hot tea, went to the window and looked out.This season is the season when the ginkgo bears fruit. The golden leaves and fruits are scattered all over the ground downstairs, just like the ones in school back then. I remember that every time I walked on the road with Qi Tian in this season, Qi Tian couldn’t help but complain that , a pretty good scene, but the ginkgo fruit stinks and destroys the atmosphere.At that time, he always laughed and scolded. Every year, many people come here to pick up fruits. When you are a school, you plant them to create an atmosphere for you...

"After I leave, think carefully about what I said, you know what I want..." When these words played back in his ears, Lin Fan asked in his heart, Qi Tian, ​​what exactly do you want?

"Boss, where are you?"

Xue Jing interrupted Lin Fan's thoughts after entering the tea room, "What are you looking at? I've called you twice."

"It's okay, just take a rest."

Xue Jing opened the coke can and took a sip, then moved her shoulders left and right and said, "The gay honey who accompanied me to break up with me yesterday drank until midnight, and I haven't recovered yet."

"The friend you mentioned last time?" Lin Fan suddenly asked unconsciously.

"That's right, that's the person I told you about last time. He hesitated last time, but this time it's completely broken up."

"The two of them, what's going on?"

Xue Jing rubbed her neck and said: "The two of them have known each other since school and have been very good. This year, his boyfriend's parents forced him to get married, and then his boyfriend compromised. My friend took it easy for a while. But come here."

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't speak any more but was silently holding his teacup and looking out the window, Xue Jing turned her head and suddenly asked curiously: "Boss, it's the first time I've seen you gossip since I've known you for so long, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"It's nothing, just a little curious to hear what you said."

Xue Jing nodded ignorantly and then continued: "Actually, his boyfriend is really scumbag. He actually told my friend that marriage is to explain to his parents. In fact, he still wants to be with him. Ask him if he wants to. My friend actually asked my opinion, I immediately took him back, and told him that this kind of man hurts others and hurts himself, so it’s just right to save time.”

Then, as if thinking of something, he turned to Lin Fan and said, "Actually, there are very few people like your wedding friend who can make it to the end..."

Later Xue Jing said something, Lin Fan didn't hear it, and didn't notice when he left, just stared at the ginkgo trees downstairs in a daze.

Watching the cleaners put the leaves and fruits into the black garbage bags while cleaning, he suddenly realized, how can things be handled in the same way at different times and places?

Qi Tian came back this time and told him to start from the beginning several times, but he never thought that maybe it meant something else, they are no longer the students of the school, it is not just enough to avoid the eyes of the people around them, in Qi Tian What is more important in front of him may be a marriage that will help his career, so does "starting over" refer to starting anew as his underground lover on the premise that he has a normal marriage?

When this idea appeared in his mind, a feeling of despair spread in Lin Fan's body little by little, even when they separated a few years ago, he never felt it.

Something has really changed, maybe that person had already given up halfway, and only when he came back and saw him again did he want to maintain the career and marriage of the second son of the Qi family while making peace with himself, or else he clearly said why for three years It's been six years since I came back...

In fact, now that a decision has been made, what does that person think and plan have anything to do with him, Lin Fan poured out the cold tea, turned around and returned to the office.

In the afternoon, Lu Feng called to ask for a drink in the evening. This time, Lin Fan didn't refuse because of the accumulated work, but agreed immediately.

……

In the evening, he came to the bar according to the address as promised. When he saw the word "dark night" on the door, Lin Fan frowned before going in.

After sitting down and looking around the almost full crowd, Lin Fan asked, "How did you find this place?"

"Internet celebrity bar! I'm tired of going to the same bar every time. I'm getting married soon, so I have to be fashionable before becoming a man." After Lu Feng said with a smile, he raised his hand to call for the waiter ,"What to drink?"

"It's still beer."

"Don't, their wines are pretty good, and many of them are original, try it."

After ordering, Lu Feng looked sideways at the center of the bar venue and said, "I heard that there are occasional well-known Internet celebrities here, but the bar never announces it to the public, just like a festive egg, so many people come here every day. Come here and wait, that's why it's so hot."

Lin Fan also looked at the bar which was a bit noisy for him at the moment, and nodded accordingly.

"Are you in a bad mood today? What's the matter?" Lu Feng turned his head and asked, Lin Fan didn't talk much before, but he would say a few words if he was nagging at him, but today he was very silent.

Lin Fan lowered his head and shook his head, "It's nothing, I've been too busy with work recently, so I'm a little tired."

"I think you are too preoccupied. You are obviously a year younger than me, and you talk like my uncle... Oh, you forgot the business," Lu Feng said suddenly, "Xu Jiao asked someone to read that contract." , I advise you not to quit."

"How to say?" Lin Fan raised his head and asked.

"According to the contract, if you unilaterally want to resign but the company disagrees, you need to pay three times the annual salary of last year as the company's compensation for your technical training, and you will not be able to work in the same industry for two years." Lu Feng took a sip from the waiter The wine that was just handed over said: "Do the math, can you pay for it?"

"Is there any other way?"

"No, because the contract is very clear. It's okay if you're a new employee. This is the only way for a level like you."

Lin Fan picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying in a deep voice, "Okay, got it."

Lu Feng leaned forward and leaned closer to Lin Fan, "What's going on? Why do you have to leave?"

"...I want to change the environment." I can't tell Lu Feng that because of him, everyone around me has suffered, and I have been dragged into a state that makes him ashamed to speak.

Lu Feng looked at Lin Fan like this and felt angry and worthless for him. For a person who was living such a peaceful life without ups and downs, as long as that person appeared, he would definitely be able to stir up turbulent waves and drag him into the abyss. The sky is so tossing, and it is still there after so many years.

Lu Feng asked angrily, "Qi Tian stays with Yi Yun every day? With so many businesses in the Qi family, is he going somewhere else?"

Knowing that Lu Feng didn't pay attention to the gossip news, otherwise he wouldn't have just said so much, but Lin Fan just replied: "There are times when I'm not here, and I'm going abroad right now."

Later, the two chatted about Lu Feng's marriage. About ten o'clock, Lu Feng's phone rang, and he picked it up and said, "What's the matter, I'm with Lin Fan... I'll be back in a while, tomorrow night I can't... oh, just work for a while... how can you... be good..."

He heard that it was Xu Jiao who was urging, so after Lu Feng hung up the phone, Lin Fan said: "Go back quickly if you have something to do, it's not too early."

"Yeah, I'll take care of this before we get married. My mother-in-law will fly over tomorrow morning. She's afraid I'll drink too much and ask me to go back," she said, asking the waiter to pay the bill, and then asked, "What about you?"

"It's not easy to take a taxi right now. I'll pay the bill later. It's okay. You can go first."

Lu Feng looked at Lin Fan, told him worriedly, "Don't drink too much, go back early", and left first.

……

There weren't any celebrities here tonight. By this time, many people had already left, and the bar finally became quieter than it was when it first arrived.After sitting for another half an hour, Lin Fan checked the time and was about to ask the waiter to pay the bill when a man came over to say hello, "Hi, how are you, handsome guy!"

Lin Fan looked at the boy who was sitting opposite him, he should be around twenty, but the exquisite makeup and overly feminine movements made him realize something immediately, so he asked, "Do we know each other?"

Ignoring Lin Fan's repelling words, the boy smiled coquettishly and said coquettishly, "You don't know me, but I know you. I saw you last time at Jonny's wedding!"

"You got the wrong person, I don't know any Jonny." Lin Fan turned to the bar and raised his hand to signal the waiter to pay the bill.

"Don't deny it, it was that time in Shanghai, and it made headlines the next day."

Even though he remembered what he said, Lin Fan didn't say anything, he took the bill from the waiter and prepared to pay and leave.

"Don't be in a hurry, let me buy you a drink. I saw you and Brother Dong at the scene that day. You left so early that I didn't even have time to go up and say hello."

"You know Fang Dongping?" Lin Fan finally looked up at him.

After getting a good look from the handsome guy, the boy hurriedly said, "Of course, we've had dinner many times."

In fact, it is true that I know Fang Dongping. I have met Fang Dongping several times at parties, but as for whether Fang Dongping still remembers himself, he is not sure.

Seeing that it was Fang Dongping's friend, Lin Fan no longer had the nerve to speak sarcasticly, so he formally greeted him and said, "Hello!"

The boy smiled instantly and said, "Well, we are all acquaintances, please have a drink."

"I have something to do today, I really have to go." Even though he knew Fang Dongping, Lin Fan instinctively didn't want to have any communication with him.

"Why are you so stingy?" After finishing speaking, he said with a feigned annoyance: "How about this, just one cup, so I don't give up this face, anyway, we all know Brother Dong."

Hearing what he said, it was really hard for Lin Fan to refuse anything. After all, he knew Fang Dongping, so he said, "I have something to do today. I might have a drink and leave."

Seeing that Lin Fan had already agreed, the boy hurriedly got up and went to the bar to get two glasses of wine as if he was afraid that he would change his mind.

"Hello, Lin Fan."

……

Not long after drinking this glass of wine, Lin Fan felt that his body was light and something was wrong. He had never fainted so fast when he was drunk before, and his heart was beating extremely fast. Looking at the boy named Andy in front of him from clear to blurred , Lin Fan could no longer hear what he was talking to himself. When he realized that there was something wrong with the wine, Lin Fan raised his head and asked, "What wine do you want?"

Andy got up from the sofa on the other side and slowly sat next to Lin Fan, then he said angrily, "Brother Fan, you are all out to play, don't be so prudish, but I like your abstinence style." Yes, I just added some good things to make you relax."

Lin Fan frowned and looked at this person in disgust. He never thought that a boy who looked only 20 years old would be so bold. He didn't want to stay any longer. He quickly got up, but just as he stood up, the severe dizziness made him lean back heavily. on the sofa.

Andy took Lin Fan's arm and pressed it next to his ear, and continued, "How is it, is it comfortable? It's not the time yet, it will be even more enjoyable later."

There was no strength in his body, and many things kept swaying like floating on the sea. Even if Lin Fan saw the mobile phone on the table close at hand, he couldn't get up to get it. When he was finally conscious, he only had time to say Said: "If you dare to act recklessly, Fang Dongping will not let you go." After speaking, he collapsed on the sofa.

……

It's already eleven o'clock, and Andy has been scrolling TikTok for half an hour, he turned his head to look at the unconscious Lin Fan, thinking whether to leave or stay?The reaction to the sensitivity of this handsome guy is that he was also drunk. He just took one hallucinogenic drug and why did he faint? Is his constitution too sensitive or he never took it at all?Thinking that this person would not be able to do anything to him tonight, he was a little discouraged. It was rare to meet such a best in the world and let himself be self-defeating.

Just as he was hesitating, the phone on the table rang, and when he suddenly saw the word Dongping on the top of the screen, Andy exploded a bit.

There are not many people in the Shanghai circle who don’t know Fang Dongping. He looks gentle and elegant, but he is said to be a ruthless character. It is said that Fang Dongping once bumped into his then boyfriend cheating on him in a bar. Since then, that person has disappeared from the Shanghai circle. Pass.

He thought that the person next to him and Fang Dongping were just ordinary friends, but being able to call after 11 o'clock showed that the relationship was not simple.This time he drugged Fang Dongping's people down, will he be able to hang around in Shanghai in the future.

So when a waiter passed by, Andy grabbed him and took out 200 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the waiter's hand, saying: "The phone rings in a while, you answer it, tell him where it is, and say that his friend is drunk. He's coming to pick it up."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his coat and left, not forgetting to turn around and say: "Watch him."

It is not surprising that this happens often in bars. The waiter is bending over to take the glass away when the mobile phone rings.After talking about the situation here, the person on the phone told him that he would come right away, and repeatedly emphasized that he would thank you for asking him to take care of him later.

After putting down the phone, the waiter started to get busy again. After a while, thinking about taking people's money after all, he walked to the corner and looked at the person sleeping on the sofa. Suddenly, the mobile phone rang again.

When he saw the words "Yi Yun CEO", he grabbed the 200 yuan in his pocket and felt that he might be lucky tonight, so he pressed the call button and said, "Hello, this is the Dark Night Bar, your friend Drunk and alone here..."

……

Fang Dongping hung up the phone and rushed to the bar as fast as he could. Recently, he was tired of dealing with various data audited by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and he hadn't had time to meet Lin Fan during this time.Tonight, I suddenly missed Lin Fan a lot, just like a childish first love, even just listening to that person's voice, so after the first call was not connected, regardless of whether it would be interrupted in the middle of the night, I made a second call.

When a man's voice came from the noisy environment, he sat up nervously from the sofa, he was not relieved until he heard that your friend was drunk at the bar, but he was still worried and tried his best Get here fast.

After finding someone in the corner of the bar, he finally felt relieved. When he bent down and tried to call out several times, Lin Fan didn't respond at all, as if he was lethargic.

Knowing that Lin Fan was not such a person without self-control, he asked the waiter standing beside him, "Who was drinking with him just now?"

"At first it was a man, and after he left, another one came, uh..." As if thinking about how to word it better, he added: "Another more feminine man came, and then he also left."

Fang Dongping probably guessed what happened, and then looked down at the person he was thinking of on the sofa. At this moment, he was glad that person was not bold enough, otherwise he would not dare to imagine what terrible things would happen tonight.

"It's been almost an hour and he still hasn't woken up. I've been watching by the side. The foreman has urged me several times and said that he will deduct wages." The waiter reminded with a smile.

Fang Dongping took out a stack of tips prepared earlier and handed them over. Fang Dongping thanked him and said, "Can you bring me some ice water and towels?"

"Okay, no problem." The waiter took the money and walked away with a smile.

Fang Dongping gently wiped Lin Fan with a towel soaked in water, complaining in his heart why this person is so defenseless?And when he wiped from his forehead to the contours of his eyebrows and then to his cheeks, Fang Dongping felt a little short of breath. He had never been so close to this person when he was awake. Looking at Lin Fan who was sleeping like a baby right in front of him, he could only Use all your willpower to control yourself not to kiss.

After taking a deep breath, Fang Dongping held Lin Fan's neck with his arms and tried to feed him a few sips of water, and finally saw him slowly swallowing, then tried to call out a few more times: "Lin Fan, Lin Fan ,Can you hear?"

He must have heard his call, and saw Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes, then stared at him for a long while, and finally smiled softly and said, "Are you back?"
