She hasn't smiled at me since our video call, but now she smiles at another man.
At the same time, the man in the video asked in English who An Lan was talking to.
An Lan also replied in English: "myboyfriend (my boyfriend)"
Hearing An Lan's answer, I felt a little more balanced.
Immediately afterwards, the man said "Hello" to me in standard Mandarin.
I simply smiled and responded to his greeting.
I don’t know why, but I feel that this person has bad intentions. Men understand men best, just like women understand women best.
I could tell from his expression and eyes that he had some bad intentions towards An Lan, so I didn't need to be polite to him.
The man immediately disappeared from the screen, and I asked An Lan: "Who is he?"
"The person we are going to work with this time is Chen Feng. You heard that you really can't be too hasty now. It will not be good for you or the company."
I ignored her and asked her again: "Is the person you want to cooperate with so young? He looks almost like you."
"He's only 28 years old."
"Hey, he's younger than me, handsome, and must be rich, right?"
"I'm not talking to you about this, I'm talking to you about business."
I still ignored him and continued, "I think the way he looked at you just now was unusual. Are you really just playing ball?"
An Lan was already a little angry and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Tell me about him. What's his name? Are you just business partners? Are there no other relationships?"
"Chen Feng, you've had enough!"
"Oops, I feel in crisis. This man is handsome, rich, and by your side. I really feel in crisis."
"How many times do I have to tell you that he is just our business partner, nothing more."
An Lan was already very angry, and her expression gradually turned pale, but I continued to challenge her limits again and again.
I just feel unbalanced. I can't stand the way that man looks at her. Men know men too well.
"What does he do?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Feng, you are really unreasonable!" After saying that, she hung up the video.
The moment the screen went black, my heart completely dropped.
I don't know what happened, but I clearly felt a crisis, and the crisis was huge.
We broke up on bad terms two times in a row. I really felt the crisis. Normally, An Lan wouldn't be like this.
She must have a problem with me now. Distance is really the biggest killer between lovers.
I want to find her. I must go to London to find her.
This strengthened my confidence to expand the company. Only in this way can I fully participate in her life, otherwise I will never be able to compare with her.
The takeaway I ordered has arrived, but I'm not in the mood to eat it.
I want to drink again, but I don’t want to drink alone. But there is no one to drink with me in this city, even Li Feng and Huang Yong are driving to other places.
After thinking about it, I went to the bar yesterday alone.
We were still in the same position as last night, ordered two draft beers, and listened to deafening music while drinking.
Lights of various colors illuminated the various men and women on the dance floor. They were twisting crazily to the rhythm of the music. Some looked like snakes and some looked like bears.
It seems like a zoo. The bartender at the front desk is a giraffe in a suit, the DJ on the stage is a fox in sexy clothes, and there are cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, crocodiles and bears on the dance floor.
Suddenly, a little white rabbit covered in white fluff came to me. She said to me: "Brother, why is it you again?"
I looked at her. It was the girl who sold me wine last night. I didn't know her name yet.
"Brother, what happened to you? Seeing that you are so unhappy, do you want me to have a drink with you?"
I moved my seat and motioned for her to sit.
As soon as she sat down, another wave of fragrance hit her face.
She called the waiter to bring two bottles of wine and said to me: "Brother, you still have wine with me, but I will treat you to a drink today."
As she said that, she opened the wine bottle, poured some wine and had a drink with me.
Putting down the glass, I looked around the bar hall in a daze and said to her, "Did you see it? There are so many animals."
"Animals? Where do these animals come from?" She looked at me with confusion.
I pointed around and said, "Don't you see? They are all animals, including you."
"Brother, don't scare me! I'm very timid."
"You don't believe it? You are just a little white rabbit."
"Isn't it? Brother, am I just a little white rabbit in your eyes?"
"Well, you are better than those cats and dogs. You are pretty."
"Haha, then I thought you were complimenting me," she asked me again after a pause, "What kind of animal are you?"
"Me? I am a sloth."
"Why are you a sloth?"
"How do I know, I am anyway."
She smiled and said: "Brother, I think you are too drunk? Why don't you stop drinking."
"What does this little wine count for?"
"Oh, brother, please stop bragging. I think you're pretty much the same now."
I smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and touched it with her.
After putting down the glass, I asked her again: "Let me ask you a question, if you want to do something, but no one around you understands you or supports you, what should you do?"
She was silent for a while and said: "It depends on what happened, but if the people around you don't support it, including your family, then it's best not to do it."
"But this matter is very important and meaningful to you, so you must do it."
"Then just do it, what are you afraid of?"
I laughed, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her.
She said to me: "Brother, please drink less. I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way back later."
"I can find it. If I'm really drunk, just drop me off at a nearby hotel. I'll transfer the room payment to you the next day."
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that you can be happy by drinking. There is no need to get drunk."
"But I'm just not happy! Hey, you're a wine seller, why do you still persuade people not to drink? Is this true?"
"I'm not treating you well. I really don't know how to treat you well."
"It's all up to you whether you drink or not. Why are you talking so much?"
"Drink, come on, let me see how much you can drink today."
I was completely drunk this night, so drunk that I didn’t know anything.
When I woke up the next morning, I found myself sleeping on a big hotel bed.
It must have been the wine girl who sent me here last night. I sat on the bed for a while before going to wash up.
This hangover feels very uncomfortable. Every time I get a hangover, I swear I won’t drink like that again, but when I get the next time, I forget my vow.
On the way to the company, I sent a WeChat message to the girl last night: "Thank you for taking me to the hotel. How much is the room cost? I'll forward it to you."
She didn't reply to me immediately, so she is probably still sleeping according to her schedule.
After arriving at the company, I made a cup of coffee to refresh myself, and then sat down in front of the computer to start doing some daily work.
But the hangover was so uncomfortable that I had no intention of doing anything, so I fell asleep on my desk while doing it.
It wasn't until my cell phone rang that it pulled me out of my drowsy state.
The call was from an unknown number. After I answered the call, I asked, "Hello, who are you?"
"It's me, Min Nolan. I have two hours to go to Chengdu. Let's meet."
Hearing this voice, my mind instantly became clearer than ever before.
