Night walk

Mo Zhao's patience was astonishing, he woke up on time the next morning, put on his tie and was ready to go to work.

Gao Ming is his own boss, but he often gets up late. He came out of his bedroom with squinted eyes, and asked in surprise, "Are you still going to work today?"

"Well, something happened."

"Is it your heart's business?"

Mo Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth and pushed open the door.

"Does it hurt anymore?!" Gao Ming asked.

Mo Zhao shook his head and closed the door.

"Everyone is superman, it hurt like that yesterday, and you still go to work so early today?" Gao Ming shook his head, turned around and continued to sleep.

After Mo Zhao arrived at the unit, Xiao Shi immediately came to look for him: "Mo Chu."

"What's the matter?" Mo Zhao sat down, his back ached, he endured it, not showing anything, but there was still some cold sweat on his forehead.

Xiao Shi was a little surprised: "Mo Chu, why is your complexion not so good?"

Mo Zhao smiled: "I slept late last night."

Xiao Shi nodded, taking it seriously, and then said: "The manager of the advertising company we are working with this time would like to treat you to dinner."

"No need."

"Uh, actually they told me several times, otherwise I wouldn't have come to ask you..." Xiao Shi said and glanced at him.

The cooperation with the advertising company was done by Mo Zhao and his department.But when signing the contract with the other party, it was the leader of the Finance Department and another office who came forward.Moreover, Mo Zhao had never dealt directly with anyone from an advertising company, so he really didn't know which company it was until now.

He has worked with Xiao Shi for a long time, and seeing what Xiao Shi's expression and tone seemed to imply, he said, "Which company?"

"Lion!" Xiao Shi answered happily.

Mo Zhao glanced at Xiao Shi again, Xiao Shi smiled awkwardly, he could see clearly last time at the airport.Young people in the new era, what do you not understand?

"Okay, let's take it at noon today." Mo Zhao agreed.He was going to pick up Qiao Yixiao in the afternoon, and he was only free for lunch.

"Okay!" After Xiao Shi finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

It was Manager Xu who invited Mo Zhao to dinner. He didn't know that Qiao Yixiao and Mo Zhao knew each other.

Mo Zhao asked him which designer did the scene.

Manager Xu smiled and said, "You won't believe Mo Chu, it's done by an intern in our company."

Mo Zhao showed appropriate doubts on his face, and asked, "Intern?"

"That's right! He is a very gifted and talented child!"

Hearing others praise Qiao Yixiao, Mo Zhao showed a very sincere smile.

Then manager Xu said again: "Thanks to you, when the teachers from your company went to our company, our department happened to be on a business trip, and he was the only one here. He came forward to receive the two teachers, and then he quickly finished the job." Show me the renderings."

Mo Zhao nodded and said, "That's really powerful."

Manager Xu was worried that he had nothing to say to him, and seeing that he seemed to be interested in this, he praised him again.

Mo Zhao asked again: "That intern, what's his name?"

"My name is Qiao Yixiao. I'm a sophomore in F University, and I'm still majoring in ancient literature! Do you think she's talented? She was born to do what we do!" Manager Xu said, laughing heartily.

Mo Zhao followed suit and smiled lightly, but it wasn't the usual mask-like smile.

Mo Zhao felt very emotional in his heart, the relationship between the two was not like this back then, when the two were still in a state of confrontation.

Qiao Yixiao even begged him, saying that he wanted to study design, saying that this was his ideal and dream.Frankly, he didn't really take it seriously at the time.He knew that Qiao Yixiao was an excellent kid, but he didn't expect Qiao Yixiao to really have such abilities.

The experience meeting held this time has a very large venue, although the outsourced to the advertising company is only the place where the leader of the center of the venue speaks.But it is also a large venue, and he also visited it the day before the experience meeting.At that time, I felt that the design of that place was particularly good, bright but unconventional, unlike the activities hosted by other agencies, it had a bit of a rustic feel.But it doesn't make people feel stingy, it's very generous.

It turned out that Qiao Yixiao did all of these.

Manager Xu was still saying, "By the way, including your brochures, we, Xiao Qiao, also designed them!"

Mo Zhao thought to himself, what do you call Xiao Qiao.He said: "Thank you very much, Manager Xu this time." He took the initiative to avoid this topic, and he could no longer talk about Qiao Yixiao with this person.

One is that he thinks that Qiao Yixiao is his own, so it's fine for these people to exaggerate, and it's a bit exaggerated to exaggerate like this.

The second reason is that Director Mo felt a little guilty for no reason. He really did a lot of things wrong back then.Qiao Yixiao, who has learned his ancient literature major well, can do the internship work so well.What if he went to study this major at the beginning?

He suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

After Qiao Yixiao finished the morning exam, she didn't go home for dinner. She had to continue the exam at one o'clock in the afternoon. Although she came and went back and forth, she wouldn't miss it, but it was too troublesome.

Now, Mo Zhao no longer insisted on him eating the food from home as before.

He had lunch at school at noon, originally to eat with Xie Yao, but Xie Yao was temporarily dragged to invigilate the exam on behalf of someone else, and he is still busy at the moment.

He waited for a while, but Xie Yao still hadn't come back, so he had to eat alone.

When he walked out of the cafeteria after eating, a middle-aged man walked towards him with a smile. He was very amiable and asked him with a smile, "Excuse me, is this classmate Qiao Yixiao?"

"I am..." Qiao Yixiao stopped, hesitating, not knowing what to call him, is he a teacher in the school?

"Hello, my name is Li Heyong, you can just call me Uncle Li."

"Hello, Uncle Li..." Qiao Yixiao has never been a good-natured person, but this Uncle Li is indeed good-looking. When talking to you, whether it's a smile on his face or a friendly voice, it's like a spring breeze blow face.Before he knew it, he called out.

"What a good boy." Li Heyong said with a smile "hehe", "Shall we find a place to sit down and chat?"

No matter how kind this person is, Qiao Yixiao couldn't possibly go with a stranger. He said a little warily, "But I don't know you."

"Look at me, I forgot to say, did it scare you?" Li Heyong smiled as usual, "I'm here for Mo Zhao."

As soon as Qiao Yixiao heard the word "Mo Zhao", there was a "ding" in Qiao Yixiao's head.

He immediately thought a lot, is this person Mo Zhao's family? ?But there is no Li in his family!Although Mo Zhao doesn't like to mention family members, but the two of them are so good now, they will always talk about family members occasionally, Qiao Yixiao still knows this.But if it wasn't Mo Zhao's family, then who? !

He was taken aback again, could it be that he wanted to give Mo Zhao a gift, but Mo Zhao refused and wanted to ask him to give it to him? !

However, no one outside knows his relationship with Mo Zhao! !

He overturned his wild thoughts one by one, knowing that he should not go with strangers.But since this person called out his own name and Mo Zhao's name all at once, shouldn't he be a bad person?Besides, it is considered safe in school, so many people at the entrance of the cafeteria have seen it.

Furthermore, he was really a little curious.I don't know what this person is going to say.

He and Uncle Li walked to the car on the side of the road and sat in the back seat.

As if to reassure him, the driver who was sitting inside immediately got out of the car when he saw them coming, and closed the door for them.

The sound insulation effect of the car is good, and it is close to the cafeteria.But after closing the car door, it seemed that all the hustle and bustle disappeared.

Qiao Yixiao was inexplicably nervous, and he took the initiative to say, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Heyong smiled and was not in a hurry, but asked first: "Are you a sophomore this year?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yixiao has always been someone who stretches out his hand without slapping smiling faces, and he has a good attitude, "Today is the final exam."

"Any plans for winter vacation?"

Qiao Yixiao gave him a strange look, thinking, what the hell are you planning to do?He simply said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You don't need to circle around with me. I'm going to take the exam later, and time is very tight."

"Uncle Li and I are Mr. Mo Zhi's driver."

The first thought in Qiao Yixiao's mind was, are you the driver? !How can there be such a polite driver? !If you go out and say that you are a university professor, some people will believe it.You can't coax people in this way, right? !Then he remembered that he seemed to have heard a strange name, and he unconsciously asked, "Mo Zhi, who is it?"

"It's Mo Zhao's father."

"..." At that moment, Qiao Yixiao seemed to forget to breathe.He didn't come back to his senses until a sudden discomfort in his throat, and then he became a little helpless.The so-called fear of heaven and earth is a lie. Even gods have things to be afraid of.What's more, he is an ordinary person, he has many things to be afraid of, he is afraid that Mo Zhao will not like him, and also afraid that these beautiful days these days are fake, and even more afraid of many unknown things.

And there was something in front of him that frightened him to the point of panic, no, it was a person.

Mo Zhao's father, in his memory, Mo Zhao almost never mentioned it.He would occasionally think of the existence of this person, and he would subconsciously wonder if one day, Mo Zhao's father would come to stop them?But Mo Zhao's image was too tall, so tall that he felt that standing behind Mo Zhao had nothing to be afraid of.

He also thought, when he becomes outstanding, will Mo Zhao's family be able to accept him?

But now, Mo Zhao is not here.

And now, he is not strong at all.

He fell silent suddenly, not knowing what to say.

Then Li Heyong sighed, and said kindly: "Which father doesn't want his child to be good? You are a good boy, and you understand everything."

Qiao Yixiao looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to say.

Li Heyong said worriedly: "Don't Zhao, I was able to be the mayor last year."

"Then why didn't it work?!" Qiao Yixiao asked anxiously.

"Because of you." Li Heyong looked at him and said.

"because I?"

"Mo Zhao was not like this before." Li Heyong continued to say in a worried voice, "Such a great opportunity is in front of him, and he is unwilling to go. Tell me, as a parent, how can you not be sad?"

Qiao Yixiao blinked his eyes and pursed his lips. After a while, he said, "So you want me to persuade him?"

Li Heyong showed a smile, Qiao Yixiao's all-too-familiar smile, the masked smile that Mo Zhao usually puts on most.Li Heyong smiled and said: "Silly boy, I don't want you to persuade him." Then he said: "I want you to leave him."

Qiao Yixiao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the previous sentence, raised his heart again when he heard the latter sentence.

Li Heyong said: "You are a good boy. If you really like him, you can't hold him back, right? He is for you, and now the mayor is gone. What will we do in the future? Since childhood, Mo Zhao Even the most outstanding child, you don't want the future, he is worse than anyone else, right?"

Qiao Yixiao subconsciously shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to."

Li Heyong smiled knowingly: "Uncle knows you are a good boy."

"But!" Qiao Yixiao looked up at him, "I like him, and I want to support him even more! Are you so distrustful of him? Since he doesn't want to be the mayor, he must have his reasons. He has been better than others since he was a child. He will be better than others when he grows up! He will not be worse than anyone else!"

Li Heyong raised his eyebrows. He thought that this child's personality was just like a well-behaved appearance, and he was easy to deceive, so he used this way of speaking.Unexpected and useless.

"I know what you mean! You know the relationship between me and Mo Zhao, and you are afraid that I will hinder him, so you want to drive me away! I am not an idiot, and I will not be deceived by you so easily! Save yourself Save it! If you have the ability, go talk to Mo Zhao and see if he agrees! He agrees with me to leave, and I will leave immediately!

You dare not talk to Mo Zhao at all, do you?You don't dare to provoke him, and you can't talk to him, so you come to scare me.Mo Zhao is so powerful, I won't embarrass him.I'm not even afraid of Mo Zhao, so I won't be intimidated by you even a little bit!I, Qiao Yixiao, am not so easy to deceive!

besides!How can there be an elder like you who doesn't expect him to be good, but only knows that he will be worse than others, even if it is used to deceive me, that will not work!

Mozhao is the best!

What kind of mayor, he doesn't want it!He will become a bigger official in the future! "Qiao Yixiao finished speaking in a hurry, turned around and wanted to get out of the car, but found that the car was locked, he tugged a few times angrily, turned around and said angrily: "How can this be, are you two or three times my age?Bullying a child, do you want face? ! "

Li Heyong closed his smile.

"Who are you scaring with this face! Open the door and let me go down! Let me tell you, so many people outside saw me getting into your car! There are still my classmates inside!" Qiao Yixiao now doesn't care about the identity of Mo Zhao's father. , He is full of anger now, even if he scares this person with words that may not be useful to deceive a three-year-old child, it is an insult to his IQ!What's more, this person said Mo Zhao like this, what kind of person is Mo Zhao?They don't expect him to be good, but they expect him to be bad!

"Son, since you insist on talking to me like this, then let's say something different." Li Heyong put away his smile, and his tone changed.

"Tell me! Are you afraid of you?"

"Since you like Mo Zhao, tell me, what is it that you are worthy of Mo Zhao?" Li Heyong did not wait for him to speak, and continued: "Family background?——The Mo family has been officials for several generations, and the names in the family tree It can be traced back hundreds of years. There have been countless Scholars in the family, especially Mo Zhao, who is a direct descendant!—”

Qiao Yixiao interrupted him with a sneer: "Come on, the Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than 100 years, okay! Who are you scaring? No matter how beautiful the past was, it was the past! Our ancestors still specially made furniture for the emperor! We dealt directly with the emperor's concubine What! Who is afraid of whom!"

"Hehe." Li Heyong said calmly, "You child, thanks to me praising you for being good, you must force me to say something unpleasant?"

"Say it!"

"We don't beat around the bush. You know better than I do what happened in your family. What did you do for a living after you came to Shanghai? I don't need to say more about it."

Qiao Yixiao gritted his teeth and remained silent, he couldn't deny it.

Li Heyong said again: "You and I both know exactly how Mo Zhao and you started. I'm getting old, so I won't say anything about it, lest you, a child, say that I bully you."

"I was indeed taken care of by Mo Zhao at first." Qiao Yixiao looked at him with wide eyes, and said seriously: "But so what? I have already made money as an intern. When I graduate, I will start my own business." The company works hard to make money. At that time, I would also buy houses, clothes, and many things for Mo Zhao. Although our beginning was indeed not bright, it does not mean that I will be taken care of by Mo Zhao for the rest of my life! It doesn't mean I'm not worthy of Mo Zhao! How many endings can a beginning lead to? You are so much older than me, so you naturally understand better."

"Oh? Really, you are so powerful?"

"I'm not great, but I know that I like Mo Zhao very much, and I will always support him. Whether I, Qiao Yixiao, touched porcelain at the beginning, or was taken care of by Mo Zhao, I did all of these, I admit it. But I, Qiao Yixiao You can also say in front of your face, that moment does not mean eternity! Just wait and see, I will definitely stand on the same position as Mo Zhao in the future!

Please tell me about this too, Uncle Mo. "

Qiao Yixiao spoke sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Heyong still found it a bit ridiculous. He asked, "Son, it's only natural that you like Mo Zhao. Anyone is willing to like Mo Zhao as a good child. But, does Mo Zhao like you?"

Qiao Yixiao was stunned, Mo Zhao had never said "I like you" to him, but he still affirmed: "He likes me!"

"Then did you know that Mo Zhao had an agreement with his family that he must get married before the age of 40, and even the marriage partner had been determined long ago. Did you know that every step of Mo Zhao was carefully arranged by the family. In a big family, It's not easy to raise a child like Mo Zhao, and it's even more difficult to raise a good child. As a human being, you can't be too selfish."

Qiao Yixiao choked, the question of marriage was something he didn't dare to ask Mo Zhao himself.

But when this person said it, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed, would Mo Zhao really get married?

"Little boy, Mo Zhao belongs to more people, don't be too greedy."

"he's mine!"

Mo Zhao said before: "He belongs to Xiaoxiao"!

Li Heyong smiled and shook his head.

"You let me get out of the car!" Qiao Yixiao said angrily, not wanting to talk to this person anymore.
