Shu Qingmo arrived in Beijing at 08:30 in the evening, and he did not tell Yan Zonglang about his itinerary, so there was no familiar driver brother in the pick-up hall.

He followed the signs to find a taxi stand, and took a taxi to the hotel arranged by the program group. It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Luo Zihang had just finished his work.

"Okay, you, you didn't get lost."

In Wangjing Xiaoyao Grilled Skewers shop, Luo Zihang was eating mutton skewers one bite at a time, as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

Shu Qingmo felt funny at the same time, but at the same time felt kind. He moved all the grilled skewers on the tinfoil plate to Luo Zihang, and said, "With a map to navigate, how can I get lost?"

The hotel where Shu Qingmo stayed was very close to the program studio, the straight-line distance was less than 100 meters, so he did not stay at Luo Zihang's house a few kilometers away.

Now the place where the two of them eat supper is located between the hotel and Luo Zihang's house, which is very convenient for both of them.

"Hurry up and eat." Seeing that Shu Qingmo barely moved his chopsticks, Luo Zihang couldn't help urging, "These are real mutton skewers, you can't eat them in Nancheng."

It's not that there is no mutton in Nancheng, it's just that they don't usually eat it that way.

Southern barbecue has a variety of tastes, including five-spice and spicy. The ingredients will be brushed with oil and seasoning over and over again, and finally sprinkled with chili powder, pepper noodles, and a handful of shallots.

The barbecue in the north is rough and unrestrained. Flammulina velutipes and leeks are only sold by portion, and the large pieces of beef and mutton are sold all over the world with cumin. The taste is indeed not as exquisite as that in the south, but it is very enjoyable to eat.

"I've eaten more authentic mutton skewers in Xinjiang, okay?" Shu Qingmo said with a smile.

"That's right." Hearing what Shu Qingmo said, Luo Zihang simply took the last few strings of mutton as his own.

"Are you busy so late every day?" Shu Qingmo asked.

"It was fine before, and I got off work on time every day." Luo Zihang said, "Recently, because there is an international exchange meeting held in the museum at the end of the month, I have to sort out the information of each work, and I have to contact foreign parties. There are so many things every day. .”

"Then do you have overtime pay?" Shu Qingmo asked curiously.

"No." Luo Zihang shrugged, "I'll just come back from time off."

"It's really not easy for social animals." Shu Qingmo joked.

"That's not true." Luo Zihang said, "Don't talk about me, what about you, why did you suddenly come to Beijing to record some variety show?"

Shu Qingmo talked about his deal with Fang Wanrou, and of course analyzed Fang Wanrou's true intentions to Luo Zihang.

Luo Zihang put down his drink cup after listening, frowned and said, "Then why did you promise her?"

Shu Qingmo folded the napkin in her hand and said flatly, "Because I need a chance."

Whether it's work or school, Shu Qingmo needs an opportunity to overcome the flaws in time.

Just like before, he was appreciated by Zheng Gongxun by accident, was taken to Xinjiang to participate in national projects, and then met Chang Yuee by accident, and got the opportunity to work in the Beijing Museum. These were all opportunities, which greatly shortened his normal progress. path of.

Therefore, if he wants to bring down Fang Wanrou in a short period of time, he can't sit still and wait for an opportunity to appear by itself, but should seize every opportunity to create favorable conditions for himself.

The variety show is an opportunity in front of Shu Qingmo.

Although this opportunity is a dangerous double-edged sword, if you don't grasp it well, it is easy to backfire on yourself.

But if Shu Qingmo gets it right, then he can use this to gain a firm foothold in the circle.

When he said these words, Shu Qingmo's speech speed was always unhurried, and no emotion was revealed on his face, and he was surrounded by a calm sense of planning.

Luo Zihang was dumbfounded the whole time, and didn't notice that the skewers in his hand had already cooled down.

After a while, Luo Zihang came back to his senses, put down the skewers and leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Shu Qingmo from a distance and said, "Brother, you have changed."

Shu Qingmo raised her eyebrows, picked up the drink and said, "You're wearing a suit, are you going to talk about me?"

Luo Zihang rubbed the back of his head and said embarrassingly, "Isn't it necessary for my work?"

Shu Qingmo took a sip of her drink and said helplessly, "I'm forced by life."

"Hey." Luo Zihang sighed, picked up the skewers again and said, "Have you noticed that we have all grown up?"

"Yes." Shu Qingmo also felt a little emotional, "Forced to grow up."

The transition from campus to society can change a person's personality the most. The surrounding environment has undergone drastic changes, and the people and things he contacts are no longer limited to the campus.

If it is a process from zero to one from birth to graduation, then adapting to society is a process from one to hundred in a short period of time.

Looking back, Shu Qingmo was worried that his relationship with Luo Zihang would become awkward because of the confession.

But now it seems that he doesn't need to worry at all, because Luo Zihang can't possibly like him forever, unless the two of them still stay in the campus and the surrounding environment will never change.

Thinking of this, Shu Qingmo put down the cup, and said to Luo Zihang in an interrogative tone: "Be honest, do you have something new?"

Luo Zihang didn't understand the meaning of Shu Qingmo's words, so he asked loudly, "What's new?"

Shu Qing finally clicked: "Your colleague."

Luo Zihang paused for a while, almost choking.He took a sip of his drink and said with an unnatural expression, "How do you know?"

"I don't know you yet?" Shu Qingmo smiled, "That colleague of yours has such a bad attitude towards you, why don't you secretly complain to me just because you have a bad temper?"

"Ahem." Luo Zihang cleared his throat in embarrassment, "He is really special."

Shu Qingmo asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"Old man Du's grandson." Luo Zihang twitched the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on the skewers, "It's impossible for someone to like me."

Du Wensheng's status is not inferior to that of Shu Qingmo's grandfather. Moreover, he is still alive and owns a private museum in Beijing, a place where every inch of land is expensive. It can be seen that his grandson must come from a wealthy family and his vision will not be low.

"So are you planning to have unrequited love to the end?" Shu Qingmo asked amusedly, "As expected of you, Luo Counselor."

"Hi." Luo Zihang said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you mention this nickname again?"

Luo Zihang was afraid of ghosts when he was a child, and after Shu Qingmo's mother passed away, he would not dare to step into Shu Qingmo's house even if he was killed, so he was honorably awarded this title.

But later on he became more and more manly, and Shu Qingmo hadn't called him that for a long time.

"Aren't you?" Shu Qingmo said, "Let me give an inappropriate example. If you had chased me a few years ago, maybe we both have obtained the certificate now."

"I see that you are standing and talking without pain in your back." Luo Zihang said angrily, "Do you know that when you like someone, you will become cautious. Does that mean you chase after them?"

Of course Shu Qingmo knew.

These days, he desperately wanted to see Yan Zonglang, to cuddle up to him and talk to him, and to smell the familiar scent of his perfume.

But he didn't dare to buy a ticket to fly to Beijing rashly, because all his reasons were "I want to see you".

He knew that Yan Zonglang would not like this reason, and would think that he was still a child at heart.

So to be cautious, he can fully empathize.

It's just that the only difference between him and Luo Zihang is that he dares to take action and seize every opportunity.

At least a few hours ago, he and Yan Zonglang were separated by thousands of kilometers, but now he came to the city where he was.

"Forget it, you are single, what do you know?" Luo Zihang said dully, "Anyway, chasing someone is not as simple as you imagined."

Shu Qingmo withdrew her thoughts, smiled and said, "It's you who made things complicated."

Early the next morning, Shu Qingmo brought four pictures of the Four Heavenly Kings to an office building in the CBD area of ​​Beijing.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Secretary Chen's figure appeared behind the luxurious automatic sensor door.He walked in front of Shu Qingmo in three steps at a time, and asked in surprise, "Master Shu, why are you here?"

"Secretary Chen, you can call me Xiaoshu." Shu Qingmo said and handed over the paintings in his hand, "Please help me pass these four paintings to Mr. Yan."

"Aren't you going to give it to Mr. Yan?" Secretary Chen took the four paintings in a daze, "He's upstairs now, I can take you there."

Shu Qingmo raised her head to look at the towering skyscraper in front of her, slowly looked away, smiled calmly and said, "No, I still have work in the afternoon."

"Work?" Secretary Chen asked curiously.

"Yeah." Shu Qingmo said, "I'm here to record a show, and I'll go back to Nancheng after the recording."

"Program?" The doubts in Secretary Chen's eyes became more obvious, "What program?"

"Cultural matters." Shu Qingmo didn't want to say more, "I'm in a hurry, so I'll trouble you, Secretary Chen."

After saying goodbye to Secretary Chen, Shu Qing walked to the corner of the street without looking back, intending to take a taxi and leave.

However, he couldn't resist stopping in the end, and turned his head to look at the building where Yan Zonglang was located.

I have to admit that Shu Qingmo really wanted to see Yan Zonglang urgently.But in the deepest part of his heart, he still hoped that Yan Zonglang would understand that he was not so dependent on him.

He has already learned the restraint of an adult, even without Yan Zonglang by his side, he can still do his own thing well.

So even though at this moment, he and Yan Zonglang are only one elevator away, he can suppress his inner impulse and leave gracefully like a mature adult.

In the end, he still felt bitter about Yan Zonglang's failure to inform him of the cancellation of the engagement.

He understood Yan Zonglang's motives, but was dissatisfied that Yan Zonglang still treated him like a child.

He traveled thousands of miles to come here, but kept a distance with restraint, just to let Yan Zonglang know that he is no longer the naive and innocent child he was back then.

In the office building on the other side.

Secretary Chen knocked on the door of Yan Zonglang's office, came to the desk with four paintings, and said to Yan Zonglang: "Mr. Yan, Master Shu asked me to hand over the paintings to you."

Yan Zonglang raised his gaze, glanced at the things in Secretary Chen's hand, then looked at the tablet and said, "Did he send it by mail?"

"No." Secretary Chen said, "He came over just now."

"Come here?" Yan Zonglang put down his tablet and frowned slightly, "You mean he's in Beijing now?"

"Yes." Secretary Chen said, "They said they came to Beijing to record some cultural program."

"Where are the others?" Yan Zonglang stood up, and was about to leave without saying a word.

"Mr. Yan," Secretary Chen hurriedly stopped him, "Master Shu has already left."

"...Going away?" Yan Zonglang paused, a look of confusion flashed across his face, "You mean he came to give you something, and then just left?"

"Yes." Secretary Chen vaguely felt that Yan Zonglang's tone was not quite right, and said cautiously, "He called me, asked for the address, and then specifically asked me not to tell you."

Yan Zonglang's face darkened: "He told you not to tell you, right?"

Cold sweat broke out on Secretary Chen's forehead: "This... he specifically ordered..."

Yan Zonglang said coldly: "So who is your boss?"

Secretary Chen was about to cry.

He said in his heart that the boss can't be offended, but the key point is that the boss's wife can't be offended either.

Moreover, it may be uncertain who will decide between the two of you in the future...

Xiao Qingmo not only grows in his career, but also in his relationship, so now he is playing hard to get
