bosom friend

On Saturday, when Xin Yu arrived in Beizhou, it was not yet seven o'clock. He calculated the time and thought it was more than enough, so he went back to his "hometown" on Qingshui Road first.

When he got home, he unpacked, took a quick shower, changed, and went downstairs for breakfast.

The shop owner greeted him: "Here you come? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xin Yu smiled and said, "I've been working in Yuncheng recently."

"Oh, you're on a business trip, right?"

"Yes." Xin Yu didn't explain much.

At about ten minutes before nine o'clock, Xin Yu arrived at the appointed place. It was a small western-style building with a yard. It didn't look like a public store, but rather a private residence.He rang the doorbell, and a moment later, the door opened and he was invited in.He found out that this was indeed a private house, probably Fang Zize's property.

He was taken to the study room and saw Fang Zize sitting at a low table playing a game of Go, "Mr. Fang, hello."

Fang Zize didn't look up, "Can you play Go?"

Xin Yu said: "A little bit, basically the same as not being able to."

Fang Zize said: "Then why do you play peacefully?"

"We played chess when we were young, but now we don't play any chess."

Fang Zize laughed. He looked up at Xin Yu, "Sit down, just sit down."

Since he doesn't know how to play Go, Xin Yu didn't go to sit opposite Fang Zize, but chose a nearby sofa to sit down, and then he went straight to the topic, "Mr. Fang, I have broken up with Hepingyi. September 9 No. 24 hand." On September 9, he proposed to break up, and on September 23, Qiao Pingyi agreed to break up.

"..." The Go piece in Fang Zize's hand "clicked" and fell.Before, he suspected that something was wrong with Qiao Pingyi and Xin Yu, but because Qiao Ping pretended to be nothing, he thought he was suspicious. Now it seems that he was not bold enough to suspect...

Xin Yu said: "We are still friends after we broke up. Although we decided to distance ourselves from each other, because the breakup time is too short, we haven't gotten used to it yet, so sometimes we can't help but contact each other. A few days ago, Ping Yi called When I was with him, it sounded like he was very depressed, but I didn’t want to cross the line too much (after all, we broke up), so I came up with an idea, that’s the bad idea of ​​‘Let Gu Ruinian help me observe Ping Yi’.”

Speaking of this, Xin Yu stopped, because Fang Zize must have known more from Gu Ruinian.

Fang Zize's attention was on other things, "You mentioned the breakup?" Qiao Ping kept it secret and kept it from letting people know that they had broken up, so he probably wasn't the one who mentioned the breakup.

"……Correct."

"Because of Zhuang Yang?"

"...No, because we have some conflicts that are difficult to reconcile after we are together."

Fang Zize messed up the Go game in front of him, and the chess pieces made a loud noise, "That means you can't tolerate Pingyi anymore, right?"

"..." Xin Yu said, "The main reason is that I can't tolerate myself in this relationship."

Fang Zize can understand this, he has had similar feelings and hated himself when he got out of control.But being able to understand doesn't mean being willing to forgive. "You only think about yourself?"

"Since there is no way to continue, it is good for everyone to separate."

Fang Zize said, "No, it's better for you."

"..." Xin Yu thought for a while, then said, "It depends on how you understand the state of 'good'."

Fang Zize was speechless, and Xin Yu got to the point. Yes, the "good" he expected was that Qiao Ping could "follow the rules" instead of "going out of line" like before.This year, Qiao Ping started to pay attention to his career and successfully held a music festival. Now he is also interested in film and television investment. In Fang Zize's opinion, this is very "good".

After a while, Fang Zize said, "Has he ever told you that he wants to invest in film and television?"

Suddenly jumping to this topic, Xin Yu was a little surprised, "I mentioned that he should like this, but it can't be ruled out that he thinks this is more profitable."

"Did you encourage him to do it?"

"..." was mentioned, but it was not a very enthusiastic encouragement.Xin Yu thought to herself, did her encouragement cause any serious consequences? "As long as it's not illegal or dangerous, if he likes it, I usually support him."

Fang Zize picked the chess pieces one by one into the chess jar, and after picking more than a dozen, he stopped, "Do you have any conflicts that are difficult to reconcile?"

"..." Xin Yu felt that Fang Zize was a little bit overwhelmed by him. Both his talking style and way of speaking were too "unique". Could this be a strategy?It is said that Go can cultivate strategic thinking... "Our personalities are too different."

"Didn't you get along well all these years?"

"We are fine now." Xin Yu said, "Being good as friends is different from being good as lovers."

Fang Zize started picking his chess pieces again, and after a while, he said, "You hired someone to follow Ping Yi, what do you think?"

Xin Yu said, "Are you planning to arrange bodyguards for Ping Yi recently?"

"I have this plan." Yesterday, Fang Zize was thinking about arranging a bodyguard for Qiao Pingyi. He was going to find a driver and bodyguard for Qiao Pingyi.

Xin Yu said: "Then I think this matter is considered complete. I am completely relieved that there is someone around him." Only when you are relieved can you let go of it.

"..." Fang Zize glanced at Xin Yu, as if he helped Qiao Ping find a warm bed. "So, you don't know how to repent?"

Xin Yu said: "I did this wrong. However, I considered the consequences before I did it, so I really don't regret it." Of course, he didn't expect that Gu Ruinian would be caught by Fang Zize.If he considered this, then he... would remind Gu Ruinian to be more careful.

"What kind of consequences?"

"Probably after Pingyi found out, he had a big fight with me."

"Have you ever had a fight?"

"I quarreled when I was young, but I don't quarrel now, maybe I will quarrel in the future?"

Fang Zize picked up a chess piece, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He realized that he had nothing to do with Xin Yu. Threats and temptations would definitely not work, nor would it be possible to use affection (people admit that they have feelings, but they still have to break up), Xiao Zhi For reasons, I guess Xin Yu has more reasons than her own...

Fang Zize was silent, and Xin Yu looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

When Fang Zize found out, he was very helpless. I am worried here, but you are still in the mood to appreciate calligraphy and painting. "Do you know calligraphy?"

Xin Yu shook her head, "No, Ping Yi can do it better." Qiao Ping practiced for a while when he was a child.

Fang Zize said, "I know."

"..." Well, mentioning Qiaoping is superfluous.

Fang Zize said: "Which word do you like?"

Xin Yu said: "I don't understand. But I think the word 'horse' is quite interesting, it really looks like a horse."

"..." That horse character was written like that on purpose.Fang Zize originally wanted to see what kind of life motto Xin Yu would like, whether it was "willing to be willing", or "good deeds", or something else, but he said that the horse was interesting, and he didn't know whether he was wise or stupid, or just so wise. childlike innocence.

Fang Zize threw away the chess pieces, got up, walked to the sofa opposite Xin Yu and sat down, "Do you want tea?"

"...I don't drink much. I drink a lot of coffee. In the advertising industry, everyone's living habits will be more westernized."

Fang Zize shouted, "Uncle Wu, make us two cups of coffee."

Someone outside answered.

"..." Xin Yu really didn't understand what kind of routine Fang Zize was doing. Wasn't it a bit late to invite him to drink tea and coffee after chatting for so long?

Fang Zize said: "You are making a game, right? How is the progress?"

"It's still in its infancy."

"Oh." Fang Zize chatted with Xin Yu on the topic of games for a while, and after the coffee was brought in, he said, "Taste it and see how my coffee is."

"..." Xin Yu said, "I don't understand coffee either. I usually drink it because it can refresh me."

"..." Fang Zize is very helpless, and he doesn't need you to really understand, just chatting casually... Such a person really can't chat.I don't know how he and Qiao Ping lived together.Oh, yes, it's broken up... no wonder it breaks up.

The two drank coffee, relatively silent.

Two minutes later, Fang Zize found that Xin Yu was really calm, so he could only speak first, "Will you go to see Pingyi when you come back this time?"

Xin Yu said, "No."

Fang Zize looked at him, "I have no objection to your affairs. If you can go abroad to get married, I will give you a big gift."

"..." Hey, we have already broken up!Xin Yu almost wondered if Fang Zize's brain suddenly short-circuited.

"Okay, I don't care about your affairs, you can take your time." Fang Zize put down his coffee cup and stood up, "At noon, leave me here for dinner?"

Xin Yu also stood up, "...No, I have something else to do."

Fang Zize didn't keep him longer (the two were relatively silent, and eating in silence was meaningless), and after a few polite words, he personally sent Xin Yu to the gate.

Xin Yu was very uncomfortable, and when she said goodbye to him and left, she didn't dare to turn her head. In case Fang Zize was still looking at him at the gate...it was a bit scary.

In fact, Xin Yu was fine, he went straight back to Qingshui Road.However, he felt that in the evening or tomorrow, he could invite someone to have a meal together.

At this time, Qiao Pingyi was also looking for someone to eat. Recently, he "experienced life" at Xingsheng Entertainment, and ate with Fang Zize at noon (Fang Zize provided meals).Today, when it was time for dinner, he went upstairs to look for Fang Zize as usual, and when he learned that Fang Zize hadn't come, he was a little surprised. Would his brother-in-law, a career freak, not come to work?

Special assistant Luo Fei said, "Today is Saturday."

"Really?" Qiao Pingyi really didn't pay attention to the date, anyway, now seven days a week is the same for him, and there will be no one more person at home on weekends.

"However, President Fang would have come over, but he has an appointment this morning."

"Oh? Isn't he dating someone?"

Luo Fei thought to himself, he is "on a date" with your boyfriend. "You can ask President Fang yourself."

"Forget it then. That's enough, I'm leaving." Since Fang Zize was not here, Qiao Pingyi decided to go out to eat by himself.

He walked into the elevator and pressed down on the first floor.

After descending two floors, the elevator stopped. As soon as the door opened, Song Can and his agent Liu Zhen appeared outside the elevator. When they saw Qiao Pingyi in the elevator, they were a little startled and hesitated to go up immediately... …

Qiao Ping said together: "Are you going up or not? Hurry up."

The two were startled, and hurried into the elevator... Song Can added a greeting, "Mr. Qiao, good afternoon."
