Bai Chengqi: "I'm stupid, I can't understand your sudden sadness, nor your sudden joy. It's been eight years, we've known each other for eight years, and you're still so elusive. It's because I'm not smart enough, nor can I understand your sudden joy."
Courage is destined, I can’t handle your feelings..."
"Since it can't end well, we shouldn't start," Jian Zhiyan finished for him. "You already said that when you rejected me a year ago."
"I said that only by being friends can our relationship last longer," Bai Chengqi stood up, "Maybe you think that I came out to you and said these words too high-sounding, just to relieve my inner shame. Then
You are wrong, I hope you are happy, even more than myself."
His clear eyes were filled with openness and honesty.
Bai Chengqi's name is the same as his name - tribute to Shi Qi - attached to the end of the ancient letter, with a gentle and concise greeting.
It is a piece of sincerity that can be seen every time I read it.
But, like a letter, it finally comes to an end and it’s time to say goodbye.
Saying goodbye this time means that we will really never see each other again.
Jian Zhiyan took a deep breath, turned around and said goodbye in the most cunning way.
"Bai Chengqi, you are really stupid!"
…
On the flight back to Beishi, Jian Zhiyan had a long dream.
Jian Zhiyan dreamed that he was back in high school, and was punished by the teacher for being on duty. In the empty classroom, because of Bai Chengqi's arrival, the podium turned into a stage, and the tables, chairs and benches turned into an audience.
Bai Chengqi said that he was playing Romeo, but Jian Zhiyan disagreed. Then, he thrust a broom into his hand and tricked him into playing Harry Potter.
Even in her dream, Jian Zhiyan could clearly feel that the pure happiness of the arrogant sixteen-year-old was like the bubbles that kept popping up in Coke, which could not be hidden.
In the hazy night, the plane crossed the long and narrow runway and landed slowly.
The winter in Bei City is much drier than that in Shangri-La. As soon as she got off the plane, Jian Zhiyan felt as if her lips were about to split. She went directly to the bathroom to apply a thick layer of lip oil.
I guess I guessed the time, and Jian Zhilei's phone call came at this time.
"Is it already here? How about your friend's wedding? Was it fun?"
"It's fun! I also went to nearby scenic spots. Traveling is more enjoyable than working!" Jian Zhiyan's voice revealed the joy of not knowing the world.
Jian Zhilei said dotingly: "Then don't work anymore, my brother will support you."
Jian Zhiyan stuck out his tongue: Being raised by a man is a trap full of flowers. Think about it, let it go.
She accepted her fate and said, "I will show up at Jinjing on time tomorrow and then ask the president to cancel my leave."
"You don't need to go to the president to cancel the leave. You can just go to your immediate superior." Jian Zhilei called because he had something else to do. "You will land tonight, but I will be on a business trip tomorrow morning. I want to have a meal with you.
If you can't touch it, just be obedient, you know?"
"Know……"
Jian Zhilei: "There is still the weekend. You have to go back to Ziyuan to have dinner with your mother alone. Don't forget it."
This has become routine.
Jian Zhiyan: "I know..."
Jian Zhilei: "Girl, don't take such a late flight next time. It's not safe. Have you left the airport now? I asked the driver to pick you up..."
As expected of a girl-control fiend, Jian Zhiyan looked up and saw the driver of her family walking towards her.
Handing the light bag to the driver, Jian Zhiyan followed slowly towards the parking lot.
"Okay, brother, I have met the driver, you can rest assured."
"Aren't you impatient to say a few more words?" Jian Zhilei still had no intention of hanging up the phone, "Okay, let me tell you the last thing."
"You haven't been here for the past few days. The dealer has brought the car. I asked someone to park it downstairs in your apartment. The key is with the driver."
Instantly her eyes lit up, and Jian Zhiyan made a gesture of support, "Brother, why are you impatient? I will listen carefully to whatever you say, because I love you so much."
Jian Zhilei was very helpful, but he still felt outspoken and said, "If I don't talk to you, I'll give up."
Jian Zhiyan stuck out his tongue.
Taking Jian Zhilei's Cullinan back to the city, Jian Zhiyan held the brand new car key in her hand, and all her gloomy moods were gone.
She is not a money-oriented person, but she has been exposed to it since childhood and has witnessed the ups and downs of wealthy families. Jian Zhiyan understands the importance of material things better than ordinary people. Good clothing and food are the most superficial pursuits. Buying freedom with money is the ultimate.
Target.
For example, you can freely choose your time to go out without having to worry about being passed over by an online ride-hailing service.
In the morning, Jian Zhiyan went out at the same time as usual. When Jian Zhiyan arrived at the company, she was more than half an hour earlier than usual. She was the only one in this office area.
Jian Zhiyan wanted to make a cup of coffee in the tea room, but halfway there, she realized she had forgotten to bring a spoon. She didn't like disposable wooden spoons and always felt they had a strange smell, so she went back to get them.
Passing by Lawyer Fan's office, someone was on the phone inside. Because the door was open, the voice was particularly loud.
"...Yes, don't worry, the money matter has been settled. As long as you win the bid today, the year-end bonus will be six figures... Of course, it's a sure shot, don't worry..."
Jian Zhiyan didn't expect the phone to hang up so quickly. She picked up the spoon and was stopped when she passed by Lawyer Fan's door again.
"Zhiyan, come in, come in."
In private, Lawyer Fan was extremely gentle to Jian Zhiyan, and Jian Zhiyan naturally respected her in return. She called out, "Teacher Fan."
"You seem to be in a good mood today."
Lawyer Fan immediately beamed with joy, "My son has just received an admission letter from a university, Yale. Oh, yes, you will be alumni from now on."
Jian Zhiyan was a little embarrassed, but she was still sincerely happy for her, "It's a good thing. Congratulations."
"Alas!" Lawyer Fan sighed with a smile, "That kind of school has sky-high tuition fees, plus living expenses... Alas, I have to work hard to make money."
This may be the legendary sweet burden.
Lawyer Fan looked distressed, but his expression was actually full of pride, which suddenly overlapped with Jian Bozhang's face.
In Jian Zhiyan's memory, Jian Bozhang once held her up high and said, "What should we do? Our family is so beautiful. If my father doesn't prepare an army, how can he stop those gangsters outside?"
At that time, she was six or seven years old, and she was held in the palm of her hand.
"Zhiyan!"
Jian Zhiyan was brought back to reality by Lawyer Fan, "The bid I just mentioned, you can come with me."
"Ah?" She was distracted just now.
"Feilan Technology is a multinational company. The whole department depends on you for your good English. Before you went on vacation, you even prepared their tender documents. If you come with me, you can get double insurance."
"As long as we win this project, the year-end bonus will be very objective."
Before Jian Zhiyan could say a word, Lawyer Fan said half-seriously, "My son's tuition depends on you!"
