He had a crush on him for 12 years and divorced

Another month had passed by the time Ren Zhaoyuan returned to China. These two full months almost smoothed out Tan Zheng's ups and downs and restlessness, so that when he finally met face to face, he actually maintained his previous appearance and demeanor, neither strange nor excessive. Enthusiastic, with a faint smile, he stopped and greeted: "Teacher Ren has just arrived."

"I just parked the car," Ren Zhaoyuan responded, and approached to shake hands with Tan Zheng, "Boss Tan rarely has time."

Divide in a moment.

Tan Zheng slightly curled up toward the hand that he took back, and Ren Zhaoyuan's unique touch still remained on the palm.

Warm, dry, with a thin callus on the inside.

Ren Zhaoyuan's hands are very white, and the base of his ring finger where he used to wear a ring for many years is not much different in color, but if you look closely, you can see a slightly sunken mark.

Tan Zheng's heart skipped a beat when his gaze swept over that place, and he paused for a second before calming down and replied, "I haven't had much to do recently, so I just came over when I received the invitation letter, so I can relax."

The two of you came and I chatted briefly, and they walked together naturally.

Tan Zheng was walking on the left side of Ren Zhaoyuan, and when he turned around he was a body behind, and couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at his left hand.

Thin, white, straight, long.

very nice.

The ring finger is empty.

Under the cuffs of the pure black tweed coat, the sandalwood bead string he most often wears is exposed, and the bulge of the wrist next to it is more obvious than before.

Ren Zhaoyuan is more used to wearing jewelry on the left side in daily life, and there are only two pierced ears in the left ear.

He is wearing a minimalist silver and white earring today. Only a silver line can be seen on the front, and a simple rectangle can be seen on the side. nest.

Few men around Tan Zheng would wear extra accessories, and he himself was never interested in them.

Watches, cufflinks, tie clips, and etiquette is enough for necessary occasions.

He has always felt that few men can wear fancy and troublesome things to a pleasing effect, and he has always felt that only Ren Zhaoyuan does not violate harmony no matter what he wears.

Pearls, diamonds, jade, gold and silver... No matter what jewelry falls on Ren Zhaoyuan, it will become one with him, as if surrendered by him, and exists because of him.

Regardless of complexity, it is always appropriate and complements each other.

"It takes half an hour to walk to the front building, why didn't Mr. Tan take the car?"

"The scenery here is beautiful. If you want to see it, let the receptionist go first." Tan Zheng followed steadily after turning the corner, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhaoyuan. "Is Teacher Ren familiar with this place?"

"I've been here twice before, so I know the layout."

This manor occupies a mountain and a flat land below the mountain. It is said to be 66 square meters. The owner of the manor, Tong Zhou, has a good relationship with Ren Zhaoyuan.

"Then I have to follow carefully so as not to lose it."

Tan Zheng's tone was brisk, and there was a smile in his words, which attracted Ren Zhaoyuan to jokingly respond to him with great interest: "I have a great responsibility."

"It's okay, you are responsible for your own profits and losses."

The breeze blew from Tan Zheng's side, bringing with it a faint fragrance from his body.

Wood tone, Lingling grows under the ebony, and white sandalwood is dyed in the amber.

Mature yet lively, witty yet calm.

Ren Zhaoyuan is familiar with this fragrance.

When he first accepted the endorsement of this brand, he knew about several fragrances. Tan Zheng didn't use the best-selling main product, but Ren Zhaoyuan was very impressed.

At that time, the master craftsman who had just permed his hair into a wool roll shook his head after he said the "special" evaluation: "Is it like an English gentleman who took you to a library with a long history, which is precious and precious?" How about taking down a treasured book with slightly worn pages, and taking out a dessert with bright red cherries from behind with a wink and a smile?"

Ren Zhaoyuan's own customized incense is based on it.

This fragrance is attractive, but it seems casual and appropriate to Tan Zheng.

Ren Zhaoyuan was surprised by the relaxed atmosphere between the two of them. He knew he was not a talkative person, but he chatted very comfortably with Tan Zheng, who could only be called an acquaintance.

There is no need to deliberately find a topic to avoid embarrassment, nor is it a party to talk endlessly.

From the fluctuating temperature, the tsunami broadcast on the morning news, to ocean currents, geology, and talk about rough stone mining and color categories...

When we talked about jewelry later, Tan Zheng actually understood it very well.Although he said with a smile that he was an axeman, Ren Zhaoyuan knew in a few simple words that he was not pretending to be half-knowledgeable.

"When Mr. Tan said that he was interested in jewelry when he first became a shareholder, I thought he was just mentioning it casually."

Tan Zheng pushed aside the sticks protruding from the front, and smiled softly: "It doesn't match my image, usually I only say that I am interested in stocks."

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't help laughing too.

After staying in this industry for a long time, I will habitually infer one or two from people's accessories.Tan Zheng’s impression of Ren Zhaoyuan here is rules, tradition, and simplicity. He thought that Tan Zheng’s “interest” was at most the same as most people’s attention to which categories have higher value in the market.

Now I know it is not.

"Why was Tan always interested in jewelry?"

Tan Zheng paused.

Tan Zheng was flustered before coming here, but he relaxed after seeing Ren Zhaoyuan.The heart naturally calms down, calms down, and forgets those days and nights, thoughts and entanglements.

But now Ren Zhaoyuan asked casually and quickly returned those things with ease to their original form, all unspeakable thoughts suddenly surged, obviously there were countless reasons to answer easily, but the word "you" just stuck in his throat and couldn't move.

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't hear the voice, and looked sideways at him.

Tan Zheng maintained his usual expression on his face, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and several innocuous lies lined up in his mind, before he was interrupted by a far cry before the exit.

"Mr. Ren! Mr. Tan?"

The two turned their heads following the sound, and the topic just now was naturally skipped.

A man saw a rare old golden nanmu tree on the side of the road in the middle of the car ride. The two people in the same car got out of the car and looked at it together. After that, passing cars stopped to say hello. This place is not far from the front building, so they simply let them walk. The car drove away first, and they chatted happily before leaving together.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng coming together from another road.

"Mr. Ren is here, hey, or else Tong Shao has a lot of face, and he was able to invite Mr. Tan out of the mountain."

"I just heard that Mr. Tan is a shareholder of Xinhong's basic company recently. Mr. Tan has a unique vision in investing."

"That's right, now that the basic situation is rising, even if you invest ten times more, you won't be able to get one-tenth of Mr. Tan's money."

After Ren Zhaoyuan, Tan Zheng shook hands with several people one by one: "I'm flattered, it's just luck."

"Luck is not something everyone can have. By the way, I haven't congratulated Mr. Ren on the award in person. I will borrow Tong Shao's place today. I must drink a few more glasses of celebration wine later."

"Hey, I heard that we were the ones who won the prize. I was so happy that I ate two more bowls of rice. My family also said that I can't pick out this jewelry just to join in the fun. Do you think it could be just to join in the fun? Looking at my own people To be better than those foreigners is to be comfortable and have face!"

"That's the reason, but if you do something big, you won't be seen. I caught it today. You can be ready..."

When others were talking to Ren Zhaoyuan, Tan Zheng backed away silently. He seldom participated in similar casual gatherings. Familiar with.

Speaking of personal friendship, he might be the one with the least relationship with Ren Zhaoyuan among all the people.

Afterwards, as the group chatted and walked, Tan Zheng took a few steps behind Ren Zhaoyuan, talking about the unusual closing price of a certain stock with a few people around him, and his eyes fell on the tall and straight figure in front of him from time to time.

He is used to seeing Ren Zhaoyuan's back.

Dark brown hair, cold white neck, broad shoulders, straight back, and slender legs.

Ren Zhaoyuan is tall, and he often lowers his head when listening to others talking, so the joints of the back of his neck stand out. Occasionally, when he speaks with his head tilted, he will reveal a very superior profile and thick eyelashes.

When he came to the main building, the figure stopped, and actually half-turned back to look at him.

Almost instinctively, Tan Zheng's steps increased a lot immediately, a group of people walked loosely, the distance was not far at first, Tan Zheng was about to reach Ren Zhaoyuan in a blink of an eye.

The people around Ren Zhaoyuan turned sideways, and the hand that had just naturally landed on Ren Zhaoyuan's back to signal forward was a little abrupt at this moment, so he had to fall back, and greeted Tan Zheng who was approaching with a smile: "Why is Mr. Tan so busy this time? "

Tan Zheng turned his gaze around Ren Zhaoyuan first.

His face was as calm as ever, but there was something different in his heart, and Ren Zhaoyuan's eyes were messed up.

It was only when he got closer that he realized that Ren Zhaoyuan didn't seem to be looking at him specially. With the current relationship between the two of them, it is probably impossible to signal him what to do with his eyes alone.

But he came over abruptly, so he followed the answer, only when he saw Kang You beside Ren Zhaoyuan, he came forward to talk.

"It just so happens that you have time, Mr. Kang is here early?"

"Not long after, I was looking at Tong Er's koi over there, and I happened to see Zhaoyuan when I turned around. Didn't he rush to greet him?"

The few people who had been traveling with Ren Zhaoyuan before had already walked out of the short section, and after a few words, the few people who had just traveled with Tan Zheng came to the front again, greeting Kang You one after another.

The family group under Kang You is second to none in the local area, and they are always flattered wherever they go, and they have no time to think about other things when they are surrounded and walk in.

Ren Zhaoyuan slowed down a few steps, Tan Zheng only paid attention to Ren Zhaoyuan, the two fell behind the crowd by coincidence, and walked side by side again.

"Teacher Ren."

Ren Zhaoyuan looked sideways at him.

This is what is called the most when attending various activities. Ren Zhaoyuan has long been used to it, and he never feels that there is anything wrong with it. Today, he suddenly noticed the difference in the "Xu Zong" where you come and go - among the people in business contacts, Tan Zheng seems to be the only one who always calls him this way.

It wasn't an important matter, the slight abnormality was fleeting, and it didn't attract Ren Zhaoyuan's attention.

He has little interest in business and talent, and he is not even keen on communication in the business field. The brand companies under his name only hire special personnel to operate and manage them.

Compared with the so-called "President Ren", Tan Zheng's title made him more comfortable.

Tan Zheng smiled faintly, and his gestures were always generous and calm, but he seemed to have a bit of shyness that people thought was an illusion: "When Teacher Ren has time, can I ask some questions about learning jewelry design?"

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't respond immediately.

I have heard too many similar strike-ups, and most of the so-called "asking for advice" is just an excuse.

"My younger sister is a sophomore in high school this year. She is very interested in jewelry design and plans to apply for related majors, but there is no charter for future school selection and planning. I don't know much, so I wonder if I can learn more about it through Teacher Ren. , so as to help her as a staff officer."

Tan Zheng's tone was earnest, and his eyes were too sincere.

It is clear, simple, and seems to have a faint light of expectation flickering because of uncertainty.

As if he was really a student seeking help from his teacher, he mustered up the courage to express his thoughts, and waited cautiously for a reply from the other party.

Ren Zhaoyuan was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself that it's no wonder that this time Tan Zheng turned away from his previous estrangement and politeness, that's why.

It wasn't until I regained my senses that I realized that my feeling just now was far-fetched.

This is Tan Zheng.

Even if he doesn't pay much attention to commercial finance, he knows that Tan Zheng has made the company a benchmark in the venture capital industry in S City, where there are many capital and enterprises, in just a few years.

Such a person, with ability, intelligence, and skill, will not be superficial in any aspect. Every description in his mind just now is not suitable for Tan Zheng.

Stepping on the steps in front of the main building in a blink of an eye, Tongzhou had already seen Ren Zhaoyuan from above, and waved at him.

The voices around him gradually became mixed, Ren Zhaoyuan leaned towards Tan Zheng, and noticed that Tan Zheng lowered his head slightly, only to realize that this person was taller than himself, the difference was not too big, and he didn't realize until he got close.

"Yes," Ren Zhaoyuan said, "I will stay for a few more days, just to see Mr. Tan's time."

-

The manor was tidied up more than a month ago, and the invitation letter was not sent out until Ren Zhaoyuan came back.

Tongzhou only greeted Ren Zhaoyuan when he first arrived, and then he was busy greeting the visitor, and it took him a long time to get away.

Ren Zhaoyuan was chatting with a few people, when he saw Tong Zhou coming over and beckoning to the people around him to leave for a while, he went forward and handed Tong Zhou a glass of low-alcohol wine: "How many people did you invite?"

"It's almost here at this time, that's all..." Tong Zhou glanced briefly, "Seventy or eighty."

Ren Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just?"

Tongzhou didn't pretend to be sophisticated anymore. Seventy or eighty people sounded nothing at first, but except for about one-third of the male and female companions who accompanied him, there were one of them who were all top-notch figures in the business circle of S City. Not exaggerating.

Events with hundreds or thousands of people are often held in Tongzhou, and friends can attract a lot of people even if they say they are friends, but it is rare to have such weight as today.

Tongzhou took a sip of wine, and touched Ren Zhaoyuan's glass again: "It's not easy to invite so many Buddhas, you have to walk around for the sake of your face, maybe there will be someone who looks right to you."

"Have you changed your career as a matchmaker?"

"I just changed it, and I'll change it back when your life-long event is settled."

"I'm too busy to turn around and still worry about me," Ren Zhaoyuan smiled, "I don't know what you are anxious about."

"Why do you say I am anxious? The fastest way to let go of a bad relationship is to have a new one. I am a typical example. You know that you are bored because you are making things difficult for yourself because of garbage, silly? You just listen to me and take care of yourself Talking or pastime, let’s go over there first, let yourself be happy before talking about other things.”

When Tongzhou was busy with the entries before, he was afraid that it would affect him and he basically didn't take the initiative to mention these things. He probably couldn't hold back. From the time he received the award to now, he has been talking endlessly, as if he wanted to brainwash him.

"It's really a pity that you don't want to do MLM." Ren Zhaoyuan was half helpless and half funny, "I didn't feel sorry for myself, and I didn't feel sorry for myself. It's long gone. It's just that I don't have the mood to talk about relationships right now. You can manage your manor well. Who should I talk to, who to talk to, and I can’t make money by staying here.”

Tongzhou gave a "tsk" and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it later at the reception. I'm thinking of building a winery for a while, and I'll spend all the money I can move here. I'll find a benefactor first this time."

"You really are," Ren Zhaoyuan said to him, "you don't stop for a moment."

"It's so boring to stop. Hey, you said, half of the people who came today are here to cooperate with Kang You to increase their friendship, and Kang You is here for you. If I find someone to invest in, then the rounding is not the same. Did you make money here?"

Two people who came late came to say hello, Tongzhou and Ren Zhaoyuan chatted with them together, when the two were talking to others, Tongzhou approached Ren Zhaoyuan and said in a low voice, "Among the people who came today, they kept looking at you. There are more than ten people who are specifically looking for you to talk to, and those who are male-oriented and single are less than a dozen, and they are all blue-chip stocks from 47 to 25. None of them are interested in you? It’s not that you are going to bed right away. Can’t you just make friends and look around?”

"Stop running the winery, hurry up and sign up for a dating company," Ren Zhaoyuan stopped him, ready to stay away from Tongzhou, and asked casually when he changed the wine glass in his hand to the waiter's tray, "Who is 25?"

Most of the people who came were in their forties, and Ren Zhaoyuan was 32, the youngest among the people in the close circle.

"Tan Zheng, don't you know?"

Ren Zhaoyuan was startled.
