You who walk against the light

Zhong Kaifan had thought about this before. He held the car key in his hand and gently shook it on his index finger, as if he was thinking about another thing: "Do you have any friends in the film and television industry?"

Zhong Ziming raised his vigilance: "What are you doing? You want to order me to work again?"

Zhong Kaifan laughed out loud: "I just asked casually." As he spoke, there was a trace of imperceptible worry hidden between his brows and eyes, and he even remembered a sentence his father said before - people will be greedy for certain things when they reach a certain position.

Since Zhong Ziming was obviously defensive to the outside world in the equity competition, he provided strong evidence when he dealt with high-level executives some time ago, showing that he was not in a nest, Zhong Kaifan actually started to use his mind, it depends on whether he is willing or not .

Sensing the silence, Zhong Ziming couldn't help but said, "I have some friends in this business. If you want to know something, I can help you."

Zhong Kaifan glanced at him indiscriminately, "What kind of gossip do you think I want to hear?"

Zhong Ziming frowned: "Then what are you going to do?" As soon as he asked, he immediately understood that Zhong Kaifan was worried about the exposure of his relationship in the future.That's right, this is in line with Zhong Kaifan's usual style of doing things. It's like this when he was studying. He is used to being as thoughtful as possible.

"Aren't you tired from living?" Zhong Ziming leaned on the sofa, he just wanted to be a salted fish now.

Zhong Kaifan didn't plan to sit for a long time, he got up and said, "It's all involuntary, I'll go first."

Zhong Ziming said in a muffled voice, "Oh." But his eyes stayed on Zhong Kaifan's shoulder line.

After a while, he heard Zhong Kaifan say, "Take good care of your body."

With a bang, the door closed, and there were echoes in the room, which hit the bottom of his heart, and Zhong Ziming felt an eager warmth in his heart.In the past, Zhong Kaifan never cared about him, and usually turned a blind eye to him. In the past two years, he has become a lot gentler.

Maybe time really changes something.

It was past four o'clock when he came out of Zhong Ziming's house. Zhong Kaifan looked at his watch and called Xiao Zheng: "I have something to discuss with you. Let's have dinner together tonight."

A crisp girl's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's outrageous, and Dad is made to work overtime on the big weekend!"

"Shigu!" Xiao Zheng called her, walked to a quiet place and continued, "She's not sensible."

Zhong Kaifan chuckled: "That's fine, don't eat, drink a cup of coffee, chat for a while and let you go home, it's at the Starbucks near your home."

"it is good."

Xiao Shiyu wanted to say something else, but the phone was snatched soon: "Brother Kaifan, you haven't done what you promised me last time!"

Zhong Kaifan rubbed his temples, knowing that she was talking about not seeing Lin Yuan, "He had a busy schedule last time, but there will be a hip-hop final in Shanghai in August, so let your father take you to see it then."

"Aren't you going?"

Zhong Kaifan replied: "I'm busy with work."

Xiao Shiyu lowered his voice: "My father is an old antique, and he doesn't understand those trendy elements. When he went, he would criticize me for not doing my job properly."

"Anyway, I will definitely save the ticket for you, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Shiyu was satisfied now.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Kaifan drove straight to the place where Xiao Zheng lived. The road was a bit congested on the weekend, and he told Xiao Zheng that he might arrive later.Today I made an appointment with Xiao to talk about things temporarily, and also to prepare for the follow-up decision-making.

Xiao Zheng arrived earlier, and because he didn't know what Kai Fan wanted to drink, he didn't rush to order.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he watched Zhong Kaifan approaching from a distance. He was wearing a gray casual shirt and black trousers, which made him handsome and comfortable.Soon, he opened the door and came in, the two shook hands as usual, Xiao Zheng asked: "What do you want to drink, I'll go and order."

Zhong Kaifan has already taken his seat, "Anything is fine."

With that said, Xiao was walking towards the counter. The Starbucks staff were all young people, wearing black long-sleeved logo-less and green aprons with the Starbucks logo, looking very energetic.

"A latte, an Americano, all medium."

The young man quickly pressed the keyboard and repeated: "Medium latte, medium American."

"Yes." Xiao Zheng responded.

The machine makes a printing 'squeak' sound,

A pair of fair hands stretched out: "Sir, take your receipt."

Xiao Zheng subconsciously looked at the owner of these hands, and was stunned for a moment——

so similar!

Xiao Zheng's heart was pounding, and he couldn't understand how there could be such a similar person in this world, with extremely light short hair, fair complexion, shallow eyelids, even the height is about the same as Lin Yuan, the difference is that the front This young man looked to be in his early twenties, and he was probably a work-study college student in the neighborhood.If he didn't know about Lin Yuan's recent situation, he would almost have thought it was Lin Yuan.

Eyelids twitched again, Xiao Zheng turned to look at Zhong Kaifan, saw him crossing his legs and looking down at his phone.

"Please come here to pick up the food." The boy stretched out his right hand, indicating that Xiao Zheng could go this way, and soon he continued, "The next one."

There are a lot of people dating on weekends, and there are quite a few people in front of Xiao Zheng.

Seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, Zhong Kaifan couldn't help walking towards him. Xiao Zheng was worried that he saw the young man just now, so he immediately stopped his footsteps and said with a smile, "It will be soon."

Even so, Zhong Kaifan still glanced at the ordering area. The moment his eyes crossed, time seemed to stand still, the aroma of coffee beans wafted in the air, and even the jazz music in the store didn't sound so real.Zhong Kaifan only felt a heavy blow in his heart, and the next second, his mind was buzzing, and he saw a familiar figure in a black shirt, talking to the customer politely.

The memory went back to the summer when I met Lin Yuan ten years ago. She also had such short short hair, with scalp visible, like a little monk, with a smile as clear as a summer stream. It's nice to be close.

The brain seems to be delusional.

Xiao Zheng watched Zhong Kaifan's face turn pale inch by inch, and he knew that he still didn't stop him.

Soon, Zhong Kaifan restrained his thoughts and just asked: "Can I ask what his name is?"

"Kaifan—" Xiao Zheng frowned and called out to him.

"Sir, your coffee is ready, an Americano and a latte." The waiter gently pushed two cups of coffee over.

Xiao Zheng came back to his senses, holding two cups of coffee in his hand, "Go and sit for a while?"

Zhong Kaifan looked away, as if he was thinking about something.

The two found a seat by the window, Zhong Kaifan crossed his fingers and placed them lightly in front of his belly, the light of the setting sun shone on his forehead, there was an indescribable heaviness and hesitation.

Xiao Zheng cleared his throat, "Didn't you say you want to talk about something?"

Zhong Kaifan came back to his senses: "Oh, I'm thinking about the suspension of trading, and I need to confirm with you about the timing."

Xiao Zheng said: "There are many parties involved in the equity competition, and the current stalemate with each other is not necessarily a bad thing."

Zhong Kaifan was a little absent-minded, kept looking at his watch, his face looked a little difficult, and he said after a while: "Can you ask me, what's the name of that clerk just now?"

Xiao Zheng looked calmly, "Kaifan, what are you thinking?"

Zhong Kaifan put his left hand on the table and tapped his ring finger rhythmically. This was a small movement when he hesitated: "I was thinking..."

"Kaifan, I've heard about your quarrel in Jiangxi. With his character, I think your idea is unrealistic."

Zhong Kaifan frowned: "I didn't say anything, how do you know what I'm thinking?"

Xiao Zheng is half an elder, he is more than ten years older than Kai Fan, and he understands his character fairly well, even he almost admits his mistake, let alone Kai Fan, he lowered his voice: "You don't need to ask, I know you probably What are you thinking?"

Zhong Kaifan wanted to keep that boy as Lin Yuan's shield, even though it sounded very unkind.

"Within an acceptable range, the conditions are up to him."

"What if others refuse? There are some things in this world that can never be obtained through money."

Zhong Kaifan insisted: "You haven't tried it, how do you know he disagrees?"

"Kaifan!" Xiao Zheng looked at him with deep eyes.

Zhong Kaifan's breathing became a little short, "I can't risk Ah Yuan, it's as simple as that." Then, he subconsciously glanced at the ordering area, and the boy was still there, "So I said, go ask first, like

If he really doesn't want to, forget it, and let him do it. "

Xiao Zheng felt incredible: "If he knew about this matter, he would definitely not agree to it."

"He won't know." Zhong Kaifan said word by word, looking at Xiao Zheng with cold eyes, that kind of resolute look, as if Kaifan had a falling out with his family many years ago, "You know that Internet public opinion can kill people -"

"Since the Internet is a sharp sword, why involve innocent people?"

"That's why I said the conditions are up to him. This is what you like and what I want."

Xiao Zheng took a sip of his coffee and said firmly, "This is your wishful thinking."

"If you don't go, I'll ask."

Seeing that Zhong Kaifan was about to get up, Xiao Zheng immediately stopped him: "What are you going to do? What is your current situation? Can you say these words?"

Zhong Kaifan looked at him unsteadily, with a sense of alertness, like a wolf ready to go, willing to pay any price for his territory.

Xiao Zheng compromised, "That's fine, I'll ask for you, but I must declare in advance that this matter must respect the other party's wishes, and we must observe for a long time whether he is worth keeping by your side. If there is any flaw in character, directly Nothing to talk about!"

"Okay..." Zhong Kaifan didn't have time to think too much, he didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him, as long as it was for Lin Yuan, he was willing to do anything.

Xiao Zheng waited until the boy was handed over, and then walked over to chat with him.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Zheng came back, and said simply and clearly: "My name is Lu Chen, 21 years old, I study at Normal University, and I came out to work part-time today."

"that's it?"

"Gone."

Zhong Kaifan's face was pale and gray: "That's not what I want to know." He noticed Xiao Zheng's firm attitude, and he seemed unwilling to help, but since he knew that this person was working part-time in Starbucks, there were ways to negotiate terms.

He picked up the car keys on the table and went straight out of the coffee shop.
