The life of a vegetative cup

The banquet was noisy and noisy, with men's rude voices persuading them, laughter, punches and dirty jokes, mixed with women's coquettish soft words, and the smog filling the dining room, it was a chaotic scene.

Zhao Juntong had never participated in this kind of dinner before.

He knows that the project manager of the construction party and the entrusted representative manager under him often take a large number of people to open banquets to eat and drink every once in a while, but this kind of formation is really the first time he has seen .

Especially the arrival of him, the biggest boss on the owner's side, seems to have raised the dinner party a lot.

Chinese people always like to talk about things at the wine table, whether they are talking for real or not, it is undeniable that many deals and consensuses are reached at this time.

Anyway, it wasn't personal money that was spent, and of course it was even more profligate for project funds.

Although at the beginning these people might still be afraid of his identity and dare not make a scene, but when they drank too much wine, they all almost slipped under the table with red faces, and no one saw Zhao Juntong showing any dissatisfaction. Afterwards, it is natural to be more open, and the laughter and noise are louder.

Zhao Juntong has always been a person who can afford to let things go, he never intentionally puts status on others or manipulates his identity.

The banquets and gatherings of the upper class are the place where he has always lived, and he can deal with them with ease, so for today's situation, Zhao Juntong feels a little fresh, and tries his best to suppress his feelings for these imageless wine and meat. Instinctive repulsion.

Of course he didn't come here on a whim, so Zhao Juntong stood up and left after pushing away another person's toast with a cigarette between his hands.

At the farthest edge, a light gray figure was quietly leaning against the wall, slowly sipping red wine alone.

Having known each other for such a long time, Zhao Juntong can naturally find out that because of his own stubbornness and persistence, this person is actually somewhat excluded in the supervision company.

It's just that his talent and ability are indeed far beyond the average person, and the owner's evaluation is often very good, so he has the current position.

Sure enough, he is a naive person.

Even in this smoky space, when he found himself coming, the other party looked at him with a clear, clear and clear mind, which was different from everyone else, without a hint of alcohol or confusion.

Jian Minxi always seems to give people a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

He always seems unable to integrate into the secular circle.

"Why are you staying here alone?"

The curiosity about this person grows with time, the more things are explored, the greater the curiosity, it seems that it is always not enough.

I want to know more and be more clear, and then driven by greater curiosity and inexplicable emotions, I want to get closer.

Jian Minxi smiled again when she heard his question, still with that kind of gentle and elegant smile: "I'm a little drunk, so I'll come here to have a rest."

Zhao Juntong was noncommittal about his answer, and was quiet for a moment: "If you don't like it, just reject it, why force yourself to come here."

After hearing this, Jian Minxi seemed to look at him in surprise, then smiled, turned her head and continued to look at the sweaty banquet over there.

After a while, Zhao Juntong heard him speak again.

"My mentor is a very wise scholar. He once told me that there are many things in this world that cannot be changed with your ability. Since this is the case, instead of letting yourself struggle painfully in it, it is better to go Try to learn to adapt."

Jian Minxi's answer really surprised Zhao Juntong, when he looked at him, the other party smiled warmly.

"In fact, I understand all the reasons he said. There are too many irregularities and unspoken rules in the domestic construction industry, and it is difficult for us to play a full role in the advanced management experience of foreign countries. If we really want to pursue In the final analysis, it is the system problem of the industry, but these are not something ordinary people like me can talk about."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhao, at that time, I thought that after studying for many years, I should have learned a lot of useful knowledge. After graduation, I will know these very realistic things. I still have so many boring studies here. In the spirit of serving the country, the blow is indeed huge."

Jian Ming paused, closed his eyes again, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "However, I just want to persist as long as I can while I am young and have the capital, and wait until the livelihood is really hard to maintain. I will also join forces for money."

Zhao Juntong did not speak.

He suddenly felt that Jian Minxi was really sober.

It's not the kind of solitary self-admiration, nor the kind of self-conceited Taoism. He really wants to do something and realize some dreams.

Even in the eyes of others, these dreams are very naive and ridiculous obsessions.

So the sudden discovery of Jian Minxi's new knowledge made him, an old-timer in the circle, not know what to say for a while.

"Mr. Zhao! Why are you here! Come here! Let's have another drink!"

The sound of the contractor's project manager bringing a group of people over to persuade him to drink interrupted Zhao Juntong's original opportunity to be alone with Jian Mingxi.

After a few glasses of wine to block him, he came back to his senses, Jian Mingxi was no longer by his side.

Zhao Juntong quietly withdrew from the crowd without a trace, glanced around the banquet, but did not find Jian Mingxi either.

When he found another person, he was leaning leisurely on the railing of the balcony, talking on the phone with a mobile phone in his hand. From Zhao Juntong's perspective, he could only see his light gray back.

"yes……"

Jian Minxi dragged on her smiling tone, and there was a surprisingly doting tenderness in her tone.

"You guessed it right, I just ate and drank with public money."

"I didn't drink much, really, I won't lie to you."

"Okay, I will try my best to eat back, how can I not take advantage of the free food and drink?"

The smile in Jian Mingxi's voice was even bigger, and even Zhao Juntong who was standing beside him could feel that kind of happiness.

"Okay, you bastard, just stay at home with me, and I'll drink you when I go back."

"No, you have already promised me, it's too late to say anything now." Jian Minxi laughed loudly, and after laughing enough, he seemed to be tired after staying in the same position for a long time, and slowly turned his lower body, "So, You'd better hurry up and wash it off for me..."

When he looked up and saw him, the other party's words suddenly stopped, and he was silent for a moment, and then softly coaxed to the phone side in a low voice: "You bastard, I still have something to do, the newly bought bath liquid Don't forget to use it."

Before he could finish his sentence, he already had the foresight and immediately took the mobile phone in his hand far away from his ears, and the roars and curses that came out of it were so earth-shattering that even Zhao Juntong could vaguely hear some of them.

Jian Minxi quickly retracted and covered the receiver with one hand, said "hang up" to the phone, and then pressed the chat button.

"Mr. Zhao."

When facing him again, the other party smiled a little awkwardly, and changed into the usual leisurely and gentle manner, polite and distant.

Although the conversation just now, even let Zhao Juntong know another side of Jian Mingxi that is little known.

It is also very lively and lively.

Maybe that's the real Jian Mingxi who can only be revealed in front of the person on the phone, who can swear and tease people.

Zhao Juntong was silent, "Just now, who was that?"

The other party bent his eyes and smiled: "It's my wife."

Wife... would you describe it as a beast?

Stepping into this city again, and it was still in this extremely hot season, Zhao Juntong's feeling was very subtle.

When the assistant handed over the completion acceptance notice to him who was far away, Zhao Juntong was indeed slightly taken aback.

He really didn't understand why he had such a reaction.

In fact, there are very few things in this world that can shake him. For some reason, at this moment, there seems to be a hollowness in his heart.

This hole is actually not that big, and it is impossible to find it at ordinary times, but at this time, this place let him know the existence of this hole.

Really exist.

Two days ago, I had a phone call with Jian Mingxi to discuss some details of the project completion, but he automatically ignored it. It was already a year after he met him.

And now, the project is coming to an end.

His relationship with Jian Minxi seems to be coming to an end.

Zhao Juntong sat in the car, looked out the window quietly, and didn't know what he was thinking, and what he was thinking about.

The car drove for a while, and when it turned a corner, Zhao Juntong, who was leaning on the back of the chair, suddenly straightened up.

"parking!"

Among the two people gradually turning around on the side of the road with little traffic, even if it was just one sideways, he could recognize that person at the first sight.

However, unlike Zhao Juntong's well-known crisp suit, neat tie, and eternally elegant and gentle look, the other party was wearing a blue and white sportswear with vertical stripes.

It's the World Cup now, and Jian Minxi is wearing the Argentina team uniform.

The person walking next to him was wearing a clean white T-shirt from England, and was pulling and arguing with him.

Jian Minxi seemed to finally be able to stand the other party's harassment, and pulled the man's collar and said a few words, as if trying to persuade him, but also as if he was bargaining.

However, the other party put on a look of reluctance, and only looked at him with a serious expression.

Jian Minxi pursed her lips, then sighed, turned her head and looked around carefully, then quickly moved over and pressed her lips against the other's cheek, and then quickly left.

However, he didn't expect that the other party's hand had already caught off guard and blocked his own back of the head, holding down his retreat, and approaching him again, forcing him to kiss fiercely.

Jian Minxi swung his fist almost as soon as he realized it, and hit the man in the abdomen. Then, when the man was lowered due to the pain, he raised his leg and kicked him twice.

The next moment, there were several shoe prints on the white England uniform.

Perhaps because of the excessive movement, Jian Mingxi's slightly curly hair flew wildly, and the chain hanging around his neck was thrown out, and a platinum ring shone brightly under the sunlight.

And the person he hit, in order to stop his fist and kick, raised his hands to push and resist.

On the ring finger of the man's left hand, there was a ring that was exactly the same style as that on Jian Minxi's necklace.

Jian Minxi seemed to have finally let go of her anger, and then turned her head and left after making up her feet.

But the other party quickly got up at this time, not seeing the pitiful situation just now, ran forward a few steps and grabbed Jian Minxi's arm, saw that he was thrown twice, and finally put his arm around Jian Minxi in a very domineering manner neck, and brought it into his arms.

Jian Minxi staggered a bit, although she was still struggling, the range was getting smaller and smaller, it looked like a child's play.

And Jian Minxi listened to the other party's non-stop talking, and finally couldn't bear the tense face anymore, and a smile overflowed in just a moment.

That was a smile that Zhao Juntong had never seen before.

It made his heart beat suddenly stagnant.

Zhao Juntong didn't know what that smile meant until many, many years later.

happy.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Juntong withdrew his gaze, slowly lay on his back on the seat, and closed his eyes.

"Let's go."

He suddenly felt that he seemed to know how to fill the hole in his heart.

He wanted that person's smile to always appear in front of him.

He wanted that person to just smile at him like that.

two months later.

There was a vibrating ringtone, and the phone was turned on to answer the call.

"Hey, have you completed the project approval process for the land in the east of the city?"

"What about the supervisor's bidding?"

"No, just find a distant company."

"Yes, I am very satisfied with their engineers."

"Well, we need to appoint Jiangong to come over."
