I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 351 Is It Far or Near?

When I became curious about the woman playing the accordion, I lost my focus so much that the owner of the pottery shop said the same sentence to me twice before I gave him an answer.

After 5 minutes, the woman finished playing a song, she put the accordion on the side of the chair, and then wiped her hands with a towel, she seems to have a clean freak, but to me, these small details are not important, I just Want to see her face clearly...

I seem to be suffering from a disease, but anyone who has similar signs to Ye Zhi in some aspects, I will try to make it real, even if I know it's not her, this is the manifestation of paranoia and addiction...

It's a pity that this woman didn't give me a chance to see her face clearly. After she put down the towel, she left straight away. She didn't look back, let alone turn around.

I was disappointed and unwilling, so I waited for another ten minutes...

To no avail, she didn't appear again after she left the window where I could see her.

I forcibly suppressed this morbid desire, and then left the "sheet factory" with the clay pots made by Yang Sisi, and then found a courier company that can do overseas business, and sent the pots to the address given by Yang Sisi go out.

And that's what I've been doing all morning.

……

At noon, Chen Jin and I had dinner together. During the meal, we talked about what I talked about with Lao Nie last night.Chen Jin couldn't be happier, saying that we met a nobleman.

It's time to meet noble people, otherwise, in the process of starting a business, all we meet are people like Cao Jinbo who are in trouble everywhere. Our entrepreneurial luck is really bad; after all, our ideas and execution are fine, we need That's a little bit of luck.

Probably because he was in a good mood, Chen Jin asked the waiter for two more bottles of beer, insisting that he and I drink a bottle, saying that it was a periodic celebration.

These days are really good things. Not only did we reach a cooperation with the clothing company where Lu Jia works, but we also got the right to manage Chen Yi's 6 shops. After that, we got the help of Lao Nie.

Just now, Lao Nie called me and said that it was the "Ancient City Conservation Administration". Go to the construction party who installed the street lights to discuss cooperation.

This is really a big favor from Lao Nie to our studio. You know, before we took out a project budget of 16 yuan, no construction party was willing to cooperate with us. As long as you do this according to the previously planned budget of 7 yuan, it will be fine.

If this favor is materialized, it will be a full 9 yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary for an ordinary white-collar worker.

……

This evening, I met with Lu Jia who has already returned from Lijiang, and tomorrow, she will leave here to continue her study abroad career, so I invited her to this dinner, which is both a thank you and a farewell.

While waiting for the food to be served, she first asked me, "Have you settled the matter of installing street lights?"

"Today, a friend helped us go through the approval procedures at the Ancient City Conservation Administration. It should be sure."

"That's good... A few days ago, Manager Wu told me about this, saying that our decision to open an image store in Jiulongju Commercial Street was a bit too rough, and we didn't know in advance that this commercial street There are no street lights... I told her that you are a very down-to-earth person with a particularly cooperative spirit, so you will definitely be able to handle the street lights, and you will not disappoint your partners... As expected, today you will The good news has been brought to me... Otherwise, I would not be able to walk steadily."

I looked at Lu Jia and said after a while, "Thank you..."

"Why are you thanking me?"

"Our studio really needs this opportunity."

"Then if you want to say that, I'm really curious. Does your thank you represent you personally or your studio?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Personally, there is no need, I like business..."

After a short pause, Lu Jia said to me again: "While you are thanking me, I also want to ask you to do me a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

Lu Jia and I looked at each other, her face became serious, and then she said to me: "Our company has already opened an image store in your commercial street. Compared with the company, I personally care more about the success or failure of this store. , because many of the products in it are designed by me... I am eager to be recognized, and I am also eager to realize value... But these are all premised, first of all, others must have the opportunity to know that I have such a design, and then they will have a sense of identity ...So, I hope you can promote this image store in Dali, which is equivalent to indirectly promoting my design..."

I nodded and replied: "I understand what you mean. On this point, our interests are the same; if we can increase the popularity of your image store, the subsequent investment work will be easier. I think your image store is a model that we will focus on establishing in the future."

"So, you're going to leave no stone unturned, right?"

"Well, go all out!"

Lu Jia smiled, then raised his glass to me.The moment our cups touched each other, we were more like a pair of partners with common interests, and the past was really faded...

……

After dinner, Lu Jia and I stood at the door of the restaurant. This time I was the first to speak. I asked her, "What time do you leave tomorrow?"

"Are you going to send me off?"

I nodded.

Lu Jia smiled, and then said to me: "Forget it, I don't want to create any misunderstanding between you and Ye Zhi... It's fine as we are now... How do you say it?...Friends of gentlemen It's as light as water, that's the state, haha..."

Amidst Lu Jia's laughter, my heart beat wildly...because she gave me the illusion that Ye Zhi was still alive...Suddenly I remembered that she didn't know that Ye Zhi had an accident at all, so she said that , is also normal.

I regained my composure, and then felt sad again... I don't know if I should explain to Lu Jia.

I chose not to explain, because there is such a person who thinks that she is still alive, which is also a kind of spiritual sustenance for me... I will continue to deceive myself because of this, and then wait for her to come back.

Lu Jia asked me again: "Are you planning to get married?"

I looked at her in astonishment.

"Why are you looking at me with this expression? This shouldn't be a difficult question to answer."

I finally opened my mouth and replied, "It may be soon, or it may be a long time."

"Oh."

Lu Jia responded, and then fell into silence with me...

After a while, we spoke again almost at the same time, I hastily gave up the opportunity to speak first to Lu Jia, and I habitually lit a cigarette to ease the embarrassment.

Lu Jia pointed to the front and said to me, "Then I'll go back to the hotel first."

"be careful on the road."

Lu Jia nodded, and left the restaurant before me...

I looked at her back and gradually calmed down... In my impression, this seems to be the most normal farewell this year. There is no expectation, no regrets, but I will bless her and hope that she can design this road , with greater achievements.

……

Wandering alone in the ancient city, before I knew it, I came to the vicinity of the "sheet factory". I subconsciously slowed down, and I really heard the sound of the accordion again. I hurriedly followed the direction of the sound...

In that window, I saw her back again...

No, it's not the back view, it's the shadow reflected on the curtain...

I thought of her again... The sound of the piano is calling, but the wind blowing to and fro is full of loneliness in my heart.

I don't know whether the swaying shadow is far or near. At a certain moment, she seemed to be within reach of my fingertips;
