Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

The Momei Pavilion is very large. In addition to the mahogany tables and chairs, there are also matching modular sofas and 8 screens.

Zhang Xuan's first impression when he walked in was that it was antique, completely different from the modern decoration outside. It was impossible to tell that this was a Western restaurant.

My eyes glanced at the fabric sofa. It was large and comfortable, quite suitable for exercising. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but wonder, could this arrangement be done by You Huiyun to please the person behind it?

But the next second, he denied it again.

You Huiyun is not a fool and would not be so blatant.

Yuan Lan took a seat, followed by Zhang Xuan sitting on the side. The waiter came over to pour tea and take orders.

Zhang Xuan discovered that this Yami Western Restaurant is a bit interesting. Both the living room manager and the waiters are tall and have above-average faces.

Some can even be called beautiful.

Yuan Lan was generous and ordered French foie gras, French baked snails, French scallops and French onion soup in one go.

Zhang Xuan doesn't particularly like fancy Western food. As an out-and-out foodie, steak is the most substantial and filling.

After ordering the food, the two started chatting.

Yuan Lan seemed to be particularly interested in Zhang Xuan's childhood experience, and we talked about this topic for more than ten minutes.

The food is served, any appetizers, soups, hot appetizers...

Hey, Zhang Xuan didn't want to touch it at all, but in order to give Yuan Lan face, he reluctantly took it and was very happy.

But then again, eating Western food is like squeezing out toothpaste, which makes your balls hurt.

But it tasted really good, and it made his resentment melt away a lot.

While eating and chatting, the two of them talked and the topic turned to Yuan Lan.

Yuan Lan mainly introduced his experiences and what he saw and heard while studying in Europe.

Zhang Xuan asked her: "The outside world is so colorful, why did you choose to return to China?"

Yuan Lan pondered for a few seconds and said: "Although I have stayed in Europe for several years, no matter where I go, I am always an outsider.

I felt like I couldn't fit in with them, and they couldn't accept me. "

Zhang Xuan raised his glass: "On this point, you are better than most people. Come on, I'll toast you with this cup."

Yuan Lan was surprised, "Are you prejudiced against international students?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I have no prejudice against international students. In these days, if God cannot save people, it is difficult for people to save themselves.

Nowadays, China is indeed not as developed as Western countries. It is understandable that some international students choose to stay where they are.

But those who can withstand the temptation to return home are heroes and worthy of admiration. "

Yuan Lan smiled: "Maybe it was because life was not good outside that I chose to return to China."

Zhang Xuan laughed: "That is also a talent who has drank foreign ink."

Looking at each other and smiling, the two toasted, clinked their glasses together, and finished.

After taking a sip of wine, Yuan Lan stood up and said apologetically: "I'm going to wash my hands."

"Please." Zhang Xuan took a look, lowered his head and continued to deal with the steak.

Opening the door and closing the door, Yuan Lan turned around and walked a few steps. As expected, he met an acquaintance at the corner.

At this moment, You Huiyun was whispering something to a foreman. When he saw Yuan Lan, he immediately waved his hand and asked the foreman to go ahead.

You Huiyun smiled and said: "I heard you were coming. I wanted to go to the box to say hello just now, but I didn't expect you to come out."

Yuan Lan replied: "Xiao Jing said you were resting upstairs, so I didn't disturb you at that time."

You Huiyun said: "I had a major surgery this afternoon and I was a little sleepy. I squinted upstairs for a while when I came back."

Yuan Lan came over, circled around You Huiyun, and praised, "Where did you buy these new clothes? They look great on you."

You Huiyun lowered his head and glanced at himself: "These are old clothes, but I haven't worn them much before."

Then her eyes wandered around Yuan Lan and stopped on the handbag: "Are you leaving?"

Yuan Lan shook the Big Brother in his hand and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I have to leave first if something urgent happens."

You Huiyun asked: "Didn't you say that we were entertaining friends? Where are your friends? Just leave them alone?"

Yuan Lan said: "He is in the box. I just wanted to ask you to take care of him for me. I will arrange for someone to take him back for me later."

I didn't expect to meet you here. Well, I won't have to bother you upstairs. "

You Huiyun's eyes stayed on her face for a second and agreed.

After Yuan Lan received the exact reply, he returned to the box and said to Zhang Xuan:

"Great writer, I just received news that someone is causing trouble at the nightclub, and I have to rush back to take a look.

I'm sorry today, I have to leave first. I'll set up a new table to apologize to you another day.

I have asked my friend to arrange for someone to take you back after you finish eating. "

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, but not surprised. He said politely: "It doesn't matter. If you have anything to do, just leave first. It's still early. I'll just take a taxi back."

At this moment, You Huiyun appeared at the door.

Seeing this, Yuan Lan quickly pulled the two of them and introduced:

"This is the great writer Zhang Xuan."

"This is my friend, You Huiyun."

You Huiyun stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

Yuan Lan's eyes quickly wandered over the two of them several times, apologized to them again, and then left as if he was in a hurry.

You Huiyun personally escorted Yuan Lan downstairs. When he returned to the box, he saw Zhang Xuan still sitting there eating steak slowly, and an inexplicable smile flashed across his face.

He walked over and sat across from me and said, "Long time no see."

Zhang Xuan didn't even raise his head. He put a small piece of beef into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and was too lazy to respond.

You Huiyun looked at him quietly, watched him eat two more pieces of veal, and then took out a lady's cigarette.

Question: "Do you mind if I smoke?"

Zhang Xuan still didn't look at her: "Mind."

You Huiyun seemed not to have heard anything, lit the cigarette, puffed out the smoke, played with the lighter and said:

"You don't seem surprised at all."

Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked at her this time, "I'm not surprised, and you're not surprised either. Isn't it?"

With that said, Zhang Xuan put the empty plate aside and wiped his mouth with a paper towel: "One steak is not enough, please order another one for me."

You Huiyun asked: "Didn't you have dinner?"

Zhang Xuan choked her: "Why should I come to your place after dinner?"

Feeling that he was different from before, You Huiyun was stunned for a moment, but he still got up and went to the door and asked the waiter to bring in another steak.

Returning to his seat, You Huiyun asked, "How did you meet Yuan Lan?"

Zhang Xuan asked, "You don't know?"

You Huiyun took a breath of cigarette, "I only know that she is deliberately approaching you, I don't know the rest."

Zhang Xuan thought for a while, briefly explained the brandy solution, and then asked, "How did you meet her?"

"He also approached me deliberately."

You Huiyun played with the lighter with his left hand, and the blue flame rose and went out.

Zhang Xuan remembered what Li Mei had said and asked, knowingly: "What do I want from you?"

"Get the land."

"Didn't you just come to Yangcheng for a year?"

"Cats have their own cat ways, rats have their own rat ways, so of course I have my own way."

"Yuan Lan has tried so hard to get close to you, but you are very good at taking lands?"

"How much more? A few dollars is fine."

When the second steak came, Zhang Xuan said nothing, picked up the knife and fork and continued eating the steak.

You Huiyun watched him eat for a while and then asked, "What do you think of Yuan Lan?"

Zhang Xuan took a sip of red wine, looked into her eyes and said, "On the way here, she told me that she is essentially a businessman and does not engage in loss-making business."

You Huiyun put her right hand on the table, supported her chin and said: "Although he is a bit powerful, I prefer to deal with people like this.

If it weren't for her, I would still have to go to the school gate to block you. "

Zhang Xuan was stunned: "Block me?"

You Huiyun brushed off the cigarette ashes with the little finger of her left hand and said casually: "On a heavy rainy day, I drove for two hours at the South Gate of Zhongda. I was unlucky and didn't meet you.

One time, in the middle of the night, I went there on a whim and listened to music for half an hour? "

Zhang Xuan asked, "Midnight?"

You Huiyun replied: "Yes, midnight."

Zhang Xuan asked again: "Why is it midnight?"

You Huiyun smiled mysteriously: "Guess why it's midnight."

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Zhang Xuanda said: "Let's talk about Yuan Lan. I'm more curious about her."

You Huiyun asked: "Why are you curious?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Just be curious, do you need a reason?"

You Huiyun said: "They say curiosity is the beginning of love. Do you want to have sex with her?"

Then she said: "If you want to have sex with her, you might as well have sex with me. I have more capital than she does."

Zhang Xuan's face fell and he said seriously: "If you do this again, I will leave."

You Huiyun smiled. She rarely smiled in the past few years. Her smile was like a willow leaf returning to the earth in spring. Her two thin lips were smiling, and her sparse eyebrows and eyes were smiling.

She said: "Don't be too serious. Living seriously will take away a lot of fun."

Zhang Xuan looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

You Huiyun took another puff of cigarette and said: "Yuan Lan has courage, brains, means, and humaneness. These are his advantages.

But she has some things that are not on the table, and I don't want you to get too close to her. "

Zhang Xuan looked at her strangely: "Hope? Then you want me to get closer to you?"

You Huiyun smiled even wider, "When I saw you before, it was like I saw myself when I was young. At that time, I really wanted to turn you into another me, and we could hug each other to keep warm.

But now if you want to get close to me, I won’t refuse. "

Saying that, You Huiyun took off his right shoe, stretched his leg directly under the table, put it on his thigh and rubbed it a few times:

"If you are thirsty, there is a sofa behind you. You can just hug me over there."

Zhang Xuan said expressionlessly: "I'm eating, don't affect my appetite."

You Huiyun said, "I took a shower and changed into new clothes when I learned you were here."

Zhang Xuan put down his knife and fork, sighed and said: "The wine is good, the food is good, but the person is a bit crazy."

You Huiyun smiled in confusion and pulled her legs back.

After putting on her shoes, she calmed down and said coldly: "Yuan Lan and her two sisters are both illegitimate daughters, and her cheap father committed suicide for some reason.

Her mother is a very strong person. In order to support her two sisters and provide them with a good educational environment, she went to Macau to find connections. "

She took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Do you know what is the most profitable in Macau?"

Zhang Xuan picked up the knife and fork and said, "Of course it's something related to gambling."

You Huiyun nodded: "Her mother worked as a cleaner and a coolie in Macau, and finally became a Junket Operator by chance.

Although Junket Operators work hard and have to suffer, they do make money. This is one of the reasons why the two sisters Yuan Lan were able to study abroad one after another. "

Zhang Xuan then asked a question he had always been curious about: "After finally succeeding in his studies, why did Yuan Lan run a nightclub after returning to China?

Just running a nightclub and supporting so many people is not a good path. "

You Huiyun told him: "In addition to her ambition to get ahead, she must have her own difficulties.

She and her sister had been hiding in a neighbor's house and witnessed a group of people breaking in and taking her mother away. Her mother never came back after that day. "

When the topic came to an end, You Huiyun asked: "I heard that you have taken a fancy to a textile factory?"

Zhang Xuan frowned: "Are you investigating me?"

You Huiyun admitted simply: "I also know that you are a great writer and you wrote "The Wind".

But I prefer your articles on "Zhiyin". They are interesting, understand the warmth and coldness, understand people's hearts, and understand women. "

Zhang Xuan crossed his knife and fork, cut the steak into small squares, and said, "Yuan Lan plans to introduce her sister to me. What do you think about this?"

A loud cry.

You Huiyun gently pressed the lighter on the table and said with a half-smile: "She is just wishful thinking."

Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids, "Have you met her sister?"

"certainly."

"What does it look like?"

"It's okay, but it's far worse than rice."

Zhang Xuan was speechless, "Tell me, what do you want from me today?"

You Huiyun said: "I said I came here to reminisce about old times, do you believe it?"

Zhang Xuan replied: "I believe it."

After Zhang Xuan said "I believe it", the box fell into dead silence.

I ate one and had two steaks before and after.

One smoked, one after another, and in no time, three cigarette butts fell into the ashtray.

After finishing eating, he put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, hands and mouth, picked up the cup and took a sip of red wine and asked, "Since you have investigated me, how much do you know about the textile factory?"

You Huiyun asked: "What do you want to know?"

Zhang Xuan said: "I want to know."

You Huiyun raised his index finger and shook it: "There is no free lunch in the world."

Zhang Xuan put his hands on the table: "Then pick up the free ones."

You Huiyun asked: "Is it so difficult to sleep with me for one night?"

Zhang Xuan said truthfully: "It's not difficult to get dressed, undress, and get dressed. But it can't be ended."

You Huiyun burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, he held out three fingers and said, "You ask, and I'll answer your three questions."

Zhang Xuan asked: "Why did the textile factory suddenly have so many predators?"

You Huiyun simply said four words: "Subway line."

Zhang Xuan was enlightened and asked: "What are the strengths of the three competitors?"

You Huiyun said: "The first one is a state-owned enterprise, a newly established real estate company with strong capital, but their home base is Shenzhen. The textile factory is just one of their bets.

The second company is a newspaper company. They want to join hands with Xiangjiang Capital to explore new areas.

Your third competitor is a private entrepreneur with some connections, but not worth mentioning in my eyes. "

Zhang Xuan took a breath and stood up.

He knew that the competitors that You Huiyun did not take seriously were the mountains that he could not shake.

He took out a handful of money, put it on the table without counting it, and planned to leave directly.

You Huiyun reminded: "You still have a free question."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Thank you, it's not necessary."

You Huiyun stood up and said, "Are you going to give up on the textile factory?"

Zhang Xuan looked calm and said: "Being a human being requires self-awareness."

You Huiyun said: "Maybe I can help you."

Zhang Xuan stopped, paused, and continued walking: "Your price is too expensive, I can't afford it."
