don't ask about those years

Fang Dongping suddenly felt dazed at this moment, and after a few seconds of reaction, he asked softly: "How is Lin Fan, is he better? Can you recognize me? I am Fang Dongping."

As if he fell asleep, he heard someone calling his name again and again in a daze, just like in countless dreams, although he couldn't find the source of the sound vaguely, but he clearly knew who was calling He, but when his eyes gradually focused, the image in front of him became clear, and the smile on Lin Fan's face gradually faded, and then he called out, "Brother Dong."

Fang Dongping felt a pang in his heart, but he still looked at him and asked with concern: "Yes, it's me, what's the matter, are you dizzy?"

Lin Fan frowned and wanted to straighten up, but just as he sat up, the intense dizziness made him lean back on the sofa, and he could only close his eyes and nod weakly.

"It's okay, hold on, I'll take you to the hospital." Fang Dongping put Lin Fan's arms on his shoulders, put his arm around his back and got up, walked through the crowd and left the bar.

Although he was more conscious now, he wanted to force himself to walk a few steps, but his limp legs couldn't exert any strength at all, so Lin Fan could only lean his body against Fang Dongping, barely moving his steps with his support.

At the entrance of the bar, Fang Dongping helped Lin Fan walk to his car. When he wanted to get the key, he found it was in the pocket of Lin Fan's trousers, so he could only put down Lin Fan's arm first, and let him stand with his back against the car door. for a while.

After losing support, his limp body was about to slide down the car door. Fang Dongping reflexively leaned forward and stuck Lin Fan between him and the car, and then stretched out his arms around his waist to lift him up. With a mention, the bodies of the two naturally fit together tightly.

At this moment, someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Fang Dongping, I'm calling you uncle!"

As soon as he turned his head to see who it was, he was punched firmly in the face by a firm punch. The burning pain spread from his face in an instant. Fang Dongping staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. Lin Fan also He fell down beside him.

Qi Tian looked at the two people lying on the ground, he was completely filled with anger at this moment, he walked up to Fang Dongping with red eyes, picked up his collar from the ground and punched him again: "Am I warning you?" Please, let you stay away from my people!"

Although a lot of blood was already coming out of the mouth and nose, after Fang Dongping grabbed Qi Tian's hand and used his strength to get up, he punched Qi Tian's face accurately with his waist, "You crazy! Who stipulated that Lin Fan is your!"

Fang Dongping was also more than 1.8 meters tall, and he was not inferior in front of Qi Tian, ​​and Qi Tian almost staggered with a punch.The two of you punched and kicked each other, from standing to lying down to wrestling and rolling to the ground, and they were evenly matched in several rounds.

That's cheap. The melon-eating crowd watching the excitement all took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures, some of which had even been uploaded to Moments.

I don't know if it was because of the fall just now, but after a few minutes, Lin Fan finally felt the strength of his limbs gradually returning. He barely stood up from the cold ground and looked around. Then he saw the middle of the road fighting together of two people.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, did he see it wrong?Shouldn't it be in the US?After he shook his head to confirm that one of them was Qi Tian, ​​he swayed and walked towards the two as fast as possible.

At this time, Qi Tian had the upper hand and sat on Fang Dongping's body, while Fang Dongping used his elbows to block the incoming fists, waiting for an opportunity to find a gap to fight back.

When Lin Fan finally got to the side of the two, he stepped forward and grabbed Qi Tian's arm and said, "Qi Tian, ​​stop!"

Right now, at the peak of his fury, Qi Tian couldn't hear a single word, and with a vigorous wave of his arm, Lin Fan fell to the ground again.

Standing up from the ground, Lin Fan looked at Fang Dongping, whose face was already covered in blood. He began to look around anxiously, and finally saw a folding chair not far away to occupy a parking space. He stood up with all his strength, quickly picked up the chair, and swung it on Qi Tian's back.

Because he was unprepared, when Qi Tian found out out of the corner of his eye, he only had time to block it with his arm, but he was still smashed and fell off Fang Dongping's body.

The corner of the stool has exposed a very sharp iron part due to long-term dragging on the ground, and it happened to scratch Qi Tian's head, and blood flowed down from his temple in an instant.

Lin Fan didn't notice it at first, but after Qi Tian fell away, he hurried forward to help Fang Dongping up and asked, "Brother Dong, how are you, are you injured?"

Hearing this, Qi Tian jumped up from the ground like crazy, and yelled at Lin Fan: "Lin Fan! You fucking call him Brother Dong, who is Fang Dongping, who has only known you for a few days? You care so much about him, do you know that just now he tried to take advantage of you when you were drinking too much, and you are still protecting him like this, is it sick?"

Looking at Fang Dongping whose face was covered in blood, Lin Fan couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and slapped Qi Tian, ​​"Shut up!"

He didn't notice the blood on Qi Tian's head until the slap fell and Qi Tian turned his face to the side.Looking at the blood on his hands, he looked up at the side of Qi Tian's face and the red spot on his white shirt. He slowly lowered his head and said nothing, he could only resist the urge to go up and take a look as much as possible. Persuasion: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, go back quickly."

Many people around were watching and taking pictures, and a single back view could generate so many speculations, he didn't want this matter to have a bad influence on Qi Tian.

After a while, Qi Tian suddenly laughed as if mocking himself, "Lin Fan, you hit me for Fang Dongping?"

Lin Fan didn't dare to open his mouth easily, the current Qi Tian was like a time bomb, any words that irritated him might be like cutting the wrong thread, he wanted to wait for Qi Tian to calm down by himself.

After the two stood there in a stalemate for a few minutes, Qi Tiantian looked at Lin Fan viciously and said in a toneless voice, "Lin Fan, you asked for this."

After speaking, he strode to the Land Rover across the street, opened the car door vigorously, kicked the accelerator and rushed out.

Seeing the taillights disappear at the corner, and the crowd gradually dispersed like the end of a movie, he remembered Fang Dongping behind him, and hurried up to ask, "Brother Dong, how are you doing?"

The blood on his face had already stopped, Fang Dongping lowered his head and wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth with his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just didn't expect that guy's fists to be quite hard." Then he looked around and helped Lin Fan's body. Shoulder said: "Let's go first, I have thick skin after being a clown all night."

……

After getting in the car, Lin Fan insisted on going to the hospital, but Fang Dongping said with a smile: "Just now I was forced by the spectators, and now I'm really embarrassed to show my face at the hospital like a young man fighting. It's okay, don't worry, I'll come back Just deal with it at home."

Seeing that Lin Fan had asked, but he hadn't heard anything more from him for a long time, Fang Dongping turned his head and asked, "How are you?"

At this time, I saw Lin Fan lowering his head and wiping the dried blood on his hands in a daze, his eyes were empty as if he was thinking about something, and after a few seconds he said, "What?"

Frowning and turning his head to look straight ahead, Fang Dongping turned the steering wheel and said a little coldly: "I said how are you? Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy?"

"It's better, it's okay, maybe it's over."

"What's going on today?"

"I had a drink with my friend, but after the friend left, someone I didn't know came and had a drink."

"Why are you so careless?"

After a pause, Lin Fan said, "...that man said he met him in Shanghai, and said he was your friend."

"My friend? Who?" Fang Dongping almost came to a sudden stop, but after thinking about the high speed, he slowly released the brake and drove forward.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay."

"What's your name?" Fang Dongping asked with a frown.

Lin Fan felt that what happened that night was all caused by trusting a stranger, and he was only responsible for his carelessness. He didn't want to cause Fang Dongping any trouble because of this, so he said, "Forget it, Brother Dong, think about it now." That person may have said it casually, and may not know you, I will pay attention next time."

Seeing that Fang Dongping drove forward without saying a word, Lin Fan asked again: "Brother Dong, let me accompany you to the hospital first."

Unexpectedly, Fang Dongping didn't answer him again on this question, but said after a long silence: "I want to go home directly, how about you?"

Lin Fan didn't know what this meant, but after a while he still said, "I'd better go to the hospital with you first, and I'll go home when I'm all right."

"It's quite close to my house. I have clothes there. You can go to the guest room to deal with it for the night. I'm tired and don't want to make a detour. I'll take you directly to the company tomorrow morning."

"Brother Dong..."

"Are you so worried about him?" Fang Dongping suddenly interrupted him and asked.

Looking at the street lights in front of him, Lin Fan didn't know how to answer, that person would go racing when he was in a bad mood when he was in college, he didn't know if Qi Tian's bad habit had changed after so long, but finally he replied: "No. "

"Lin Fan! What are you thinking?!"

This was the first time Fang Dongping spoke to Lin Fan in such a tone since they met each other. He was angry because he found that his judgment on some things was wrong.

He hadn't discovered Lin Fan's feelings for Qi Tian for a long time...

The moment he admitted his mistake today, he knew what kind of existence Qi Tian was to Lin Fan, because he had never seen Lin Fan's happy and down-to-earth smile, so in an instant, everything was settled. Another explanation and answer, Lin Fan's dodging eyes, his avoidance of talking about Qi Tian... It's not because he doesn't love him anymore in the past, but because his love is too deep.

He was angry with Lin Fan for hiding his feelings so deeply, he refused in action but let his heart stop there, how many years has Qi Tian been gone?three years?four years?What's so good about that man that he's willing to be stuck in place for so many years.

Lin Fan finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother Dong, I really don't know what to think. In fact, I am also quite annoyed by myself, but Qi Tian and I... We have too many entanglements, and many things can't be explained clearly," and finally As if he couldn't find an explanation, he lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Maybe it's evil fate."

Fang Dongping couldn't bear to say anything more, he clearly said that he would not force him, but now he let him peel off his bloody body to show him, so he could only resist the urge to abduct this man and hide him, and turned on the turn signal at the next fork in the road, saying: "I'll take you home, go back and have a good rest."

Fang Dongping drove away without saying a word until Lin Fan was delivered to the gate of the community.

Seeing the Cayenne driving out of the community, Lin Fan thought, this is probably the last time he saw Fang Dongping.

After turning around and looking in the direction of the parking lot for confirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked home slowly with somewhat weak steps.

……

……

The next day, the company issued an order that Manager Liu was fired from the company for accepting improper bribes and using funds unknown.

Regardless of the various clear or blurred photos on the Internet, and the ambiguous stares cast by everyone since the morning, after Lin Fan received the notification email, he hurried to the personnel department to ask, Manager Liu was What's up with the expulsion.

Seeing that it was Lin Fan, the HR department didn't hide it, saying that apart from being unclear about the entertainment expenses last time, someone also reported that Manager Liu had taken two Apple laptops, and that he was suspected of giving his subordinates an exceptional promotion by accepting bribes.

After hearing the reason, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was going on, he quickly explained: "I gave the notebook because I have a good relationship in private, and it's a gift from his younger siblings who are about to go to college. In order to bribe my promotion, I was promoted last year, and the notebook was only given this year, if you don’t believe me, you can check it, and if you want to be punished, you should also punish me?!”

The personnel manager said to him very calmly: "No matter what, it's already a fait accompli, so we can only follow the company's regulations."

Then he went on to say: "Actually, a job type like Manager Liu's age has been punished again. It must be hard to find a job. Moreover, because there is clear evidence of bribery this time, according to the company's regulations, he didn't get a penny of compensation. arrive."

After seeing Lin Fan's reaction, the HR manager glanced at him inexplicably before continuing, "But you also know that in fact, what the HR department does is not always a matter of helping with a word. If you want to find someone, find someone I'm really useless, just report directly to the general assistant or the president."

Knowing that there was no result he wanted here, Lin Fan turned around and left. Just before he went out, the HR manager threw a sentence behind him: "The promotion announcement will be out next week at the latest. Congratulations, Manager Lin. "

After coming out of the personnel department, Lin Fan took the elevator directly to the 21st floor, and entered Qi Tian's office regardless of the secretary's obstruction.

Qi Tian, ​​whose head was still wrapped in gauze, sat on the swivel chair and turned to look at Lin Fan, as if he had been waiting for him since the morning, and then signaled the secretary who followed him to go out first.

After the secretary closed the door, Lin Fan asked directly, "Why do you have to fire Manager Liu?"

Qi Tian seemed to be surprised by his question and said: "Why don't you know?"

"You know that I gave you those two laptops! What does this have to do with Manager Liu!"

"Then you go and ask the personnel department whether to listen to you or to me."

"Why do you have to do this, Qi Tian, ​​how many times have I told you that our affairs have nothing to do with other people!"

Qi Tian looked at him coldly and said: "No, as long as there are other people around you, then it matters."

Then he looked directly at Lin Fan and continued: "Lin Fan, you didn't listen to what I told you last time. This is just the beginning. As long as you keep in touch with Fang Dongping, everyone around you will be unlucky. Personally, five, right? There is a little girl named Xue Jing who has always supported you. She should be promoted this year. I think the number of places is quite tight. There are also two college students who have just graduated and have not signed a formal contract. This year If you have recruited a lot of people, don't sign. If they go out now, it seems that the recruiting season has passed... Oh, these have nothing to do with you, so let's talk about them. Fang Dongping's company listing has been put on hold. If a financial scandal breaks out, it is estimated that there will be no chance of going public in this life, and when his financier withdraws his capital, will his ten years of struggle be in vain, who else, Lu Feng?"

Lin Fan trembled a little with anger, and said, "Qi Tian, ​​you lunatic!"

Qi Tian finally stood up from the chair furiously: "Yes, madman! I've been crazy for a long time, since you rejected me a few years ago. Come back, what about you, what did you show me after I came back, seeing you hanging out with that old man Fang Dongping every day, seeing him hugging you makes me sick, I want you to see it, what will happen to me if it makes me anxious What's the end!"

Lin Fan just stood there looking at Qi Tian, ​​he wanted to find a little shadow of the past on the face of the person in front of him, obviously the facial features were the same, why did it feel like two completely different people?Time actually twisted a person so cruelly, Lin Fan felt that the remaining tenderness in his heart was gone.Just now he even wanted to question Qi Tian, ​​why did you come to ask me even when you were already engaged, but now he feels that all of this is not important.

Lin Fan finally looked at Qi Tian and said: "Qi Tian, ​​I can't beat you because of your money and power. If I resign, I will hide far away. I don't want to see you again in this life."

"Resign?" Qi Tian turned his head and snorted, "You think you can leave as soon as you want? You should have studied your own contract, do you know how much compensation will be paid for unilateral resignation?"

"Of course I know, I will compensate you, and I will also compensate you after the house is sold, is that okay?" Lin Fan was disheartened but resolutely said these words calmly.

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Qi Tian suddenly became a little scared, he paused for a while and tried to soften his tone before saying: "Lin Fan, I will give you one last chance, promise not to see Fang Dongping again, promise to start over with me , and everything can go back to where it was.”

Lin Fan took one last look at Qi Tian and said, "Qi Tian, ​​if I still felt that I owed you something before, today you wiped away the last bit of it, and now I only hope that you can see the past between us. For the sake of affection, let the irrelevant people go."

Before turning around and leaving the office, he heard Qi Tian shouting to him from behind: "Lin Fan, stop!"

Lin Fan finally turned his back to Qi Tian and said: "Qi Tian, ​​I wish you and He Xinyi have a son soon and grow old forever." After finishing speaking, he resolutely left the office.

……

As soon as he returned to the 18th floor and came outside Manager Liu's office, Lin Fan saw through the glass window that Manager Liu was already packing up his things. He knocked on the door and went in and called out, but Manager Liu just looked up at him, and then acted like He lowered his head as if he didn't hear it and continued to clean up.

Knowing that it was useless to say anything now, Lin Fan just stood by and watched. After a while, when Manager Liu finished packing and he wanted to help get the cardboard boxes, Manager Liu turned sideways to avoid him and continued to walk towards the door.

Before going out, he stopped suddenly, looked back at Lin Fan and asked, "Did you know Qi Tian a long time ago?"

Lin Fan looked at the trophy for last year's year-end award from the operation department on the cardboard box. He thought that at this time last year, Manager Liu insisted on taking his team to take a group photo with the trophy on the stage. He didn't have the courage to look up to see Manager Liu again. eyes, just said a word lightly: "Yes."

Manager Liu said something else before he opened the door and walked out of the office. After waiting for a long time, when the door opened and other people in the operation department were standing at the door looking here, Lin Fan realized that what Manager Liu said just now It is "blind."

Returning to his work station with heavy steps, even Xue Jing quietly didn't come forward to ask him what's the matter this time. Lin Fan opened his mailbox, sent a final resignation letter to the HR department, and then left without saying anything. He took the car keys and left.

……

……

When he got home, he started to pack his luggage. After packing up some basic clothes, he called the agent and told the agent that he would be going out for a while. If someone wants to look at the house, he can just bring it over if he doesn’t have any important items at home. Just follow the estimated price.

The intermediary hurriedly said yes, and said that he would sort out a commission contract and take it to him to sign, and then take the key by the way.

After making the phone call, Lin Fan started to look online for air tickets and hotels. Let’s go to the south to have a look. He has been staying in the north for the past few years. It seems that he has never traveled to the south except for business trips. As long as it is today’s flight, he can go anywhere.

Just after finishing everything online, there was a knock on the door.Thinking it was an intermediary, Lin Fan opened the door without confirmation, but what he didn't expect was that the person standing at the door was someone he never wanted to see again in this life——Qi Yaoyang.

……
