Ji Shui and Yi Ran have different people to deal with. Ji Shui is the leader of the auction house, and she has to serve many people personally, and she can't easily ignore anyone.Yi Ran is different, she only needs to serve Zhang Guohua well.The people that Zhang Guohua introduced to her are basically old restoration experts, which is very suitable for Yi Ran, because generally those who have achieved success in restoration basically focus on their own skills and do not have too many miscellaneous calculations , Most of them are slow, and impatient people will definitely not be able to do it or they will not be able to do it well.Most slow people have a good temper, chatting with this kind of people doesn't need to waste too many brain cells, compared with the people Ji Shui needs to deal with, it is simply too easy.

Zhang Guohua introduced several of his old friends to Yi Ran and left soon after. He was getting old, and his physical strength and energy were no longer comparable to those of young and middle-aged people. Everyone could understand that he should go home early to rest.Yi Ran supported his arm and sent him to the car, and found a corner to rest after returning.I haven't worn high heels for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable wearing them suddenly.In the past few years, she has bought less high heels at the very least. This is naturally related to the nature of her work. In repairing this business, she sometimes stands still for a whole day. Wearing high heels is simply difficult for herself, and flat shoes are more comfortable.

Not long after Yi Ran sat down, she realized that the very attentive girl on the opposite side who was playing with her mobile phone looked familiar, and when she looked again, it was Feng Zijing who took off her glasses.Yi Ran quietly walked over to pat her on the shoulder, she was startled, just about to scold her, but seeing that it was Yi Ran, she swallowed back the swear words she was about to blurt, and said, "Sister Ran, you are so beautiful tonight."

"You are also very beautiful." Yi Ran smoothed the hair on her forehead that was about to explode, and said, "Look at you, you look like a little beauty. You didn't pay much attention to grooming before, but you can do it in the future." It's time to pay attention, girls, even if you don't want to dress up for others, you can always dress up for yourself. Looking at the beautiful person in the mirror, you will definitely feel beautiful."

"That's true. I just find it troublesome and don't want to waste time on it."

"Look less at your phone, and save time."

"Okay, I'll look at my phone less and look at my face more."

"now it's right."

Feng Zijing looked at the groups of people talking in low voices not far away, and asked, "Sister Ran, don't you need to socialize with those people? Why did you come to the corner?"

Yi Ran followed her gaze into the crowd, and happened to see Ji Shui talking and laughing happily with a blond foreigner.Ji Shui is tall and tall with outstanding temperament, and it is inevitable that she stands out from the crowd. She seems to feel that Yi Ran is looking at her, she turns her head inadvertently, and winks at Yi Ran, Yi Ran feels sweet in her heart , also blinked at her, then looked away and said to Feng Zijing: "I don't like socializing, so I ran to the corner to take refuge. You are young and don't make more friends, why are you hiding here? "

"Don't mention it!" Feng Zijing clapped his mobile phone and complained: "I was tricked by Zhou Yuxiao, she said she was coming and asked me to come to see the world, but I came and she didn't come, so angry Kill me!"

"Who said I didn't come? Didn't I come here? In fact, I came earlier, but when I came in, I met my dad and a friend. He insisted on pulling me to talk and I couldn't get away." Zhou Yuxiao didn't know where to get it. When she came out, she greeted Yi Ran, and stared straight at Feng Zijing, who was wearing a white dress and looked pure like a hibiscus flower.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?" Feng Zijing made her hair stand on end, "The eyes are like ghosts, it's frightening to death."

"Crazy, I didn't expect you to take off your glasses and put on makeup, but you look pretty. Why didn't you find out before? You really shouldn't."

"I look beautiful with glasses and no makeup!"

"It's better to wear makeup without glasses!"

"Zhou Yuxiao, do you know how to chat?"

"Who doesn't know how to chat! I just love to tell you the truth."

Feng Zijing was speechless for a while.

Yi Ran didn't interrupt, just looked at the two of them with a smile on her cheek, thoughtful.

She was a little thirsty, so she got up and went inside to find some water to drink. She went to the place where the juice drinks were placed on the southeast side, and poured a glass of mineral water.These years, she has been very self-controlled. She basically doesn't drink outside, and she never goes to bars. If she wants to drink, she can drink it at home.It is easy for girls to suffer when drinking outside, and not drinking at all is a kind of protection for themselves.At the dinner party that cannot be rejected, when someone wants to pour her wine, she often refuses on the grounds that she is allergic to alcohol. Fortunately, she does not need to socialize with too many people, and many people ask her instead. Persuasion rarely happens in on her.

"Hello, Miss Yi."

Someone greeted her, and she turned her head to look. She was a woman in her twenties, of medium height, with long curly hair and a prickly face.She had the impression that she didn't know this person, so she asked, "Are you—?"

The woman seemed to have misunderstood Yi Ran's question, thinking that her name would be directly said after the sentence "you are", so she answered, "Well, I am."

who are you?It's not polite to say that you don't know each other, so Yi Ran replied politely: "Do you know me?"

"Yes. I know Zhou Yuxiao, she keeps mentioning you to me—the best restorer in Qi Ruizhai."

"I dare not be the best. There are so many masters and seniors, all of whom are much better than me. Yu Xiao is too exaggerated."

"Maybe she just wanted to express her love for you." The woman paused for a moment and asked, "Does Miss Yi know how to edit ancient books?"

"know a bit."

"Great, I have a set of books in my hand, and one of them is a bit damaged, can you take a look at it for me?"

"now?"

"Now, please wait a moment." The woman made a phone call, asking someone to deliver the book, and soon, a young man brought a book, and she asked the young man to pass it to Yi Ran, saying, "This is the book. "

"Let's go and sit by the window and have a look. There are few people there." Yi Ran didn't reach out to take the book. There are too many drinks and drinks here, who is to blame if some water is accidentally spilled on it?Antiques and ancient books are mostly precious, and one should treat them with caution.

Going to the window and sitting down, Yi Ran asked the young man to put the book on the table, and then opened the letter cover, and saw that it was the third volume of "The Collection of Sutras", and when she opened it, she felt like frowning , but held back.She touched the paper inside, twisted the corners carefully, then handed it to the woman, and said, "This book should have two volumes of twelve volumes, right?"

The woman was surprised and said: "There are indeed a total of twelve volumes, divided into two letters. Miss Yi, you are really knowledgeable, and you know that!"

"It's just a coincidence that I've seen it before. It's four years ago. Someone from Qi Ruizhai restored the "Bi Jing Tang Ji". I remember it after I have a long memory."

"It is very difficult for ordinary people to memorize all the things repaired by others. Today I know that I can see many restorers, so I brought the most damaged one among them. I want to ask you how to do it. .”

"Oh? What did they say?"

"They all said it's not easy to repair, so I'd better keep the original."

After hearing this, Yi Ran became more aware. She often dealt with calligraphy and painting, so she knew the classification, source and age of the paper used for calligraphy and painting.Although the leaf-protecting paper of this book is old, she can feel it. This is the bamboo paper she most often used when repairing books, probably in the late 80s and early 90s.The paper used inside is basically the same as the leaf guard, which is also old bamboo paper.Open the spine of the book and look at the paper twist inside, and it will be easier to find the problem. The paper twist of the Qing Dynasty will definitely be brittle now, and it will lose some fine residue. The paper twist of this book seems to be too tough.In other words, this book is probably a fake.Others must have seen this and let the woman keep the original. After all, they spent money to buy it. It is not good to say that the fake is not good, especially on this occasion, it is even more difficult to tell the truth. This is also a kind of respect.

So Yi Ran also said: "This book is really not easy to repair. I agree with them. I suggest you keep the original."

The woman said with some disappointment, "Well, I thought it could be fixed."

"Actually, the damage isn't too serious, so it's good to preserve it this way." Yi Ran couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so she changed the subject: "You like reading books, don't you?"

"Yes. I especially like reading."

"Then which writer do you like?"

"Jia Pingwa."

Women pronounce "ao" as ao.Yi Ran froze for a moment, didn't say anything, and felt that it was not good to say nothing, so she said, "Look, we're just chatting, and I haven't asked your name yet."

"You don't know me?" the woman asked in surprise.

Yi Ran looked blank, she really didn't know her.

The woman asked suggestively again: "Don't you usually watch TV?"

"Watch." Basically just watch news or documentaries.

Before the woman could say anything, the young man next to the woman interrupted and said, "Then you should know her."

Yi Ran was still at a loss.

"She is a popular actress, Wu Xiao," Zhou Yuxiao jumped out of nowhere, and she took Wu Xiao's arm very familiarly, and said, "We are high school classmates, and I still want to meet again later. Let me introduce you, Sister Ran, you don’t usually watch TV dramas, are you out of date now?”

"It's really outdated." Somehow, she suddenly thought of the star who went to Peking University for an interview and was rejected. Yi Ran thought that she had stayed in Tsinghua University for seven years. I have never seen an academic leader who dared to say that you should know me, which directly made me a little "indifferent", so he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I should have known me. Yu Xiao, where's the mirror?"

"Sister Ran, I'm here. I went to get a glass of champagne just now, and it's not good at all." Feng Zijing walked from behind Yi Ran, and seeing Zhou Yuxiao and Wu Xiao's intimate attire holding hands, gossiped. The fire is blazing -- doesn't Wu Xiao have a rumored boyfriend?Could it be curved too?

Feng Zijing couldn't hide anything on her face, with that curious look on her face, Zhou Yuxiao could tell what she was thinking, and for some unknown reason, she became a little angry.She pretended to shake Wu Xiao's arm affectionately, and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is Feng Zijing, my colleague. She likes to watch the scenes you filmed!"

Have I ever said that?Feng Zijing secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, I really like it."

"Really? Thanks."

Yi Ran left at the right time and said: "You guys talk, I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

After all, he turned and left decisively.There are a lot of people here, and there are not many people who have an appetite for her. She wants to find Ji Shui and go home quickly.

And Ji Shui was chatting with Fang Jiahui and a few colleagues, just when the conversation was getting exciting, Fang Jiahui suddenly saw Ye Weiyang walking over with a handsome middle-aged man on his arm. She knew that man, he was from a supermarket chain The boss, named Zhong Shiping, was flirtatious when he was young, and he never remarried after divorce. Now he is almost sixty, and he knows how to keep in good health, so he has finally restrained himself.

She went over to exchange a few words with Zhong Shiping first, and then took advantage of the gap between Zhong Shiping and others, and asked Ye Weiyang: "How are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Ye Weiyang looked at the slender Fang Jiahui: "It looks like you are also very good, do you work in Qi Ruizhai?"

"Well," Fang Jiahui also looked at Ye Weiyang who was wearing a little black dress, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"To each other. I was brought by Shiping."

"You know him well?"

Ye Weiyang chuckled lightly: "Are you jealous?"

"just asking."

"It's very familiar." Ye Weiyang thought for a while, as if she had made up her mind, she said again: "Ten years ago, I was very familiar."

"Cooked" has too many meanings, not to mention she added a ten years ago.Fang Jiahui asked: "Isn't it the kind of familiarity I thought?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Two years." Some things don't need to be said too much, others will understand.She had been taken care of by Zhong Shiping for two years, and Zhong Shiping hadn't divorced at that time.She has always been reluctant to tell people about this, but now, she doesn't want to lie to Fang Jiahui.

Fang Jiahui didn't expect her to be so honest, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually... I've always been curious about how old you are."

"Me? Older than you, 33."

"Ten years ago, 23." Fang Jiahui speculated in good faith: "I was in urgent need of money at that time? Or was there some other difficulty?"

"Not at all," Ye Weiyang shrugged: "It's just that I worked in his shop, he was very generous to me, and I couldn't resist the temptation of money, so I agreed. Girls like us from the countryside can't compare to yours from a small family. If the conditions are good, when a large stack of RMB is placed in front of you, will you not be tempted? I can’t do it.”

Fang Jiahui frowned slightly: "Some things should be based on principles."

"Indeed." Ye Weiyang lowered her eyes, then raised them again, "The principle at that time was to work hard to make money, no matter what method was used, as long as no one looked down upon me."

"Does other people's opinions matter?"

"Is it important? I thought it was very important at the time, but now that I think about it, it doesn't matter." Ye Weiyang drank red wine, and the words she said were full of vicissitudes: "No way, I was too young at that time!"

Fang Jiahui strongly disagreed: "Once a person makes a mistake, they always like to blame it on their youth. How innocent are young people? I think it's better not to blame all the mistakes on young people."

Ye Weiyang was speechless for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly: "What? Do you think I'm dirty?"

"No. It's a bit awkward. As for being dirty? You shouldn't think of me that way, let alone yourself."

Ye Weiyang didn't expect her to say that, and took a deep look at her: "Be taught."

"How did you know how to drive Les?"

"Later, I met a girl, fell in love with her, fell in love with her, and then she got married, and I was sad. Then I realized that I was suddenly not interested in men, so I opened Ye Weiyang."

It turned out that she was also injured, Fang Jiahui asked, "What about now? You and Zhong Shiping?"

"Now we are very simple friends. Ever since I found out that I prefer women, he has given me freedom, and he has helped a lot in the smooth development of the bar." Ye Weiyang glanced at Zhong Shiping who was not far away, He commented objectively: "Actually, he is very gentlemanly, and he is loyal. He is a good person, but he is not professional in his use of emotion."

"You guys... you're pretty weird." Fang Jiahui lamented that all kinds of rice feed all kinds of people, and there really are no wonders in the world.

Ye Weiyang sighed: "After all, you still have an opinion about me."

"No, I just think our two values ​​are not the same."

"That's right, you are Bai Fumei Baigu Jing, I just rely on the grassroots of men to counterattack." Ye Weiyang picked the corner of Tao's mouth, provoking a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

Fang Jiahui said angrily: "I think I have never disrespected anyone easily. Everyone chooses a different path. I didn't mean to laugh at you. Why do you despise yourself so much?"

Ye Weiyang suddenly moved close to her ear, and smiled ambiguously: "Then you will go back with me tonight?"

Fang Jiahui took half a step back: "No, I want to rest early tonight."

Ye Weiyang laughed out loud.

Ji Shui swore that she didn't eavesdrop on purpose, she just wanted to go home, and before going home, she wanted to come over and say goodbye to Fang Jiahui, and then she listened to it by accident, and then this ear aroused curiosity, and then more I listened to a few ears.She made excuses for herself—everyone has curiosity, everyone listens to the wall, everyone has me, and I am everyone.

Of course, she didn't hear the whole thing, only the second half.As smart as she is, she easily deduced the relationship between Fang Jiahui and Ye Weiyang. She thought that Fang Jiahui's current mood must be enough to drink a pot of Erguotou, and she didn't have to say goodbye to pretend to be polite, so she searched everywhere for Yi Ran. It happened that Yi Ran was also looking for her, she was looking east, Yi Ran was looking west, she was looking north, Yi Ran was looking south, and she couldn't find it, so she was a little anxious.

Only then did the two of them realize that there is still a communication tool like a mobile phone, so they opened their handbags at the same time, took out their mobile phones at the same time, broadcasted the call at the same time, and received a notification that they were on a call at the same time.

Sighing, put away the phone.He raised his head, ready to look again.

"Yi Ran!" Ji Shui was the first to find it.

The moment Yi Ran looked back, the eyes of the two met in the middle of the hall where people were coming and going, and the whole world seemed to suddenly quiet down. She walked towards her, and she also walked towards her, walked to each other, smiled knowingly, and felt at ease.

"Ji Shui, go home."

"Well, go home."
