Close friends like Song Ange all know that Bai Chengqi accounts for most of Jian Zhiyan's relationship history.
He was one of the first friends they met when they first came to study in a foreign country.
As his name suggests, he has excellent grades, is restrained, and warm. He is completely different from the boys who stick to beautiful women when they see them. After learning that Jian Zhiyan came from a wealthy family, Bai Chengqi even wanted to distance himself.
"Such a noble person who still engages in art will starve himself to death sooner or later!"
Several years ago, Song Ange made a prediction to Bai Chengqi, but to his surprise, it turned out to be true.
Jian Zhiyan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Suddenly, she heard that Bai Chengqi was looking for people to borrow money everywhere. She felt sad and lost all sleep.
She recalled the last time she saw Bai Chengqi a year ago. He was wearing a navy blue master's robe, and when he looked for her in the crowd, his face and eyes were full of high spirits.
Jian Zhiyan's heart beat rapidly, thinking that she had finally waited for the moment she had dreamed of.
Bai Chengqi said, "I got investment, and finally someone appreciates my concept. Next, I will take this million to return to China to start a business and make a real avant-garde drama. Zhiyan, what do you think?"
At that time, Jian Zhiyan had just celebrated her birthday, and she was carrying a gold-buckled and rare-leather Brikin. Including the goods, it was no more, no less than one million.
At this time, what else could she say? She said that I also have money, just one million, and you have more than that amount.
An evil thought flashed through her mind, and Jian Zhiyan had been guilty for a long time.
They have known each other for eight years and regard each other as confidants. This should not be the direction.
In the end, a thousand words can only be turned into one sentence of congratulations.
They made an appointment that when she returned to China after graduation, the two of them could hang out together frequently. After that, it never happened again.
It has been so long since Jian Zhiyan came back, and Bai Chengqi felt as if he had disappeared from the world.
One day, on a whim, she couldn't hold it back and posted a post about a landmark building in Zhangbei City with the words "I'm back." That day, she received over 100 likes on her WeChat Moments, attracting a bunch of crazy bees and butterflies to ask her out for a drink.
Even if this was the case, Bai Chengqi wouldn't be surprised.
It turned out that he was not doing well.
During the company's lunch break, everyone was discussing what to eat for lunch. Fu Zhengwei crossed the fence and recommended a restaurant.
"Zhiyan, do you want to come with us? I know a Huaiyang restaurant that has good food. It has some homemade wine and the alcohol content is very low. If you don't know how to drink, you can try it -"
Fu Zhengwei's words stopped abruptly because Jian Zhiyan suddenly stood up.
He asked what happened.
"I have something to do, so I won't go." Jian Zhiyan stood up and walked out.
Jian Zhiyan was eager to know Bai Chengqi's current situation. He originally wanted to call him and ask him in person, but then he thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, so he turned around and wanted to discuss it with Song Ange.
As lunch break approached, there were people in every quiet corner of the company, smoking, eating, and gossiping about their bosses. Jian Zhiyan looked around but couldn't find a convenient place to talk on the phone.
The momentary fever gradually cooled down, and in the end, Jian Zhiyan didn't even want to make the call from Song Ange.
Continue to work in the afternoon.
Jian Zhiyan was obviously a little out of sorts. Lawyer Fan handed her a document. The default amount in it was mistaken twice in a row. Fortunately, only Jian Zhiyan discovered it and secretly corrected it, so she passed the test.
Jian Zhiyan took the time to look at the study abroad group again. Yesterday's topic was not mentioned casually by anyone. It was as silent as the shadow of a goose flying across the water.
This kind of silence lasted until Jian Zhiyan got off work.
The autumn mood was getting thicker. When she walked out of the revolving door, Jian Zhiyan gathered her camel coat and didn't notice a figure behind her, walking from the corner to the light.
She called her out loud, Jian Zhiyan.
Jian Zhiyan turned around unexpectedly, emotions flashed in her eyes, and she walked over, "Cheng Lusi."
Cheng Lusi is also majoring in acting, and is one level higher than Jian Zhiyan. Both of them are well-known beauties in the North American study abroad circle, but they may have been compared too much. Not only are they not familiar with each other, but every time they meet
It's all quite awkward.
"Long time no see." Cheng Lusi stretched out her slender hand.
Jian Zhiyan held hands with hers, both of them were delicate and cold, but it was hard to tell whose hand was colder.
There is a coffee shop chain on the first floor of the building, which the workaholics in the office call a "late-night gas station."
It was dinner time and there were not many people in the coffee shop. The two women chose a corner and sat down facing each other. Cheng Lusi got straight to the point and said, "Aqi's small theater has encountered a problem."
Jian Zhiyan remained calm, facing the woman's gaze, and just took a sip of the hot Americano.
Cheng Lusi suddenly smiled, even with a hint of a winner who doesn't care, "You still love him, Jian Zhiyan, we all know it very well."
Jian Zhiyan did not dodge, she was surprisingly calm and asked: "So, as my real girlfriend, are you here to accuse me?"
Cheng Lusi didn't look good when she was scolded. She, as her real girlfriend, was obviously qualified to be held accountable, but now that she had someone to ask for, she had no choice but to endure it.
"Jian Zhiyan, I know you don't like me, but now, just do it for Aqi."
Jian Zhiyan looked at Cheng Lusi quietly, "Even for Bai Chengqi, it is you, the girlfriend, who should do something, not me, the ordinary friend, who crosses the line."
Jian Zhiyan paused slightly. "So, I really don't know what you want to do with me."
"You know." Cheng Lusi leaned forward. "Not only do you know, but the entire study abroad circle knows that you come from a prominent family and must have resources at your disposal. Helping A Qi is a simple matter of effort."
"Easy job?" Jian Zhiyan sneered, "Then how much money do you want me to spend to help him?"
"How much money you have is still a small matter."
Cheng Lusi hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to speak out.
"You know Aqi's personality. If you give money directly, he will definitely not accept it, but if you are willing to package the money and give it a reasonable explanation, let Aqi think that he has not been abandoned by capital.
, I believe that he will definitely regain his strength and build the Pioneer Theater."
Cheng Lusi looked at Jian Zhiyan, her eyes full of expectation, but she didn't expect that she would chuckle.
Jian Zhiyan: "Senior, at this time, I really want to call you Senior. Only you can come up with such a brilliant plan. It not only requires me to help Bai Chengqi, but also requires me to remain anonymous. After helping him, you can't
Let him know what you mean."
Cheng Lusi was a little embarrassed, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence, "The purpose is to help A Qi, and the rest... I thought you didn't care. After all, being a avant-garde theater is also your ideal, isn't it?"
"The Pioneer Theater is my ideal, but I am not a Madonna, let alone a fool."
Cheng Lusi, whose disguise was torn off, finally couldn't bear the ridicule.
She asked Jian Zhiyan: "Does that mean you won't help Bai Chengqi?"
