The beauty of rebirth

In August in Milan, the sun was shining brightly.

The Mediterranean climate is hot and dry in summer, and the sun shines unhindered, shining brightly on this city where classical humanities and fashion coexist.Every building, an advertisement, and even the shadows of passers-by on the street, each passing by, are like a landscape, all of which are imprinted with the unique traces of the city.

Lin Rui leaned on the window with one hand and didn't say a word the whole way.His eyes glanced at the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window, his expression was calm, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Zhong Yuan stared at his side face, then stretched out his hand to hold the other hand on his lap.

The strength of the response received by the fingertips is like a silent comfort and encouragement.

Of course, Lin Rui understood the meaning of Zhong Yuan's action. He didn't turn his head, and didn't speak. He just smiled faintly towards the outside of the window, and held his hand slightly with his backhand, his fingers intertwined lightly.

The car was speeding on the uncongested road, and for the first time, he had a feeling that he was approaching something step by step.Two years ago, he returned home from Milan in a hurry, and now he came here again. The journey was only a few dozen hours, but it meant too much to him.

The pain like ten thousand ants eating one's heart is deliberately not redeemed and relieved, and this feeling is completely predictable.But Lin Rui didn't want to predict this feeling too much in his heart, but he knew that what he was going to face was like hell.

He tried.When he first discovered that his body was dependent on the drug, he tried to wean himself off it.However, the sinking after each failure makes people more fascinated.It is a grand illusion, even if it is known to drink poison to quench thirst, it is enough to make people willing to sink.For the self who suddenly lost everything at that time, it might be a choice.

But now, I finally made a decision to eradicate all of this from my life.Quit drugs, and you don't need to rely on it to relieve pain from now on, which means that you will take away all your dependence on Lin Rui from this body, no longer obsessed with the right or wrong in the past, and gradually forget it until One day those traces of the so-called "Yao Qi and Lin Rui" will be completely erased.

This should be the best result.But maybe the decision wasn't so easy.

Before boarding the plane, Fed and Zhong Yuan went to go through formalities and buy drinks. Lin Rui sat alone in the waiting seat, watching the people dragging their luggage back and forth in the bright and empty waiting room. Suddenly there was an impulse in my heart.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers that did not exist in the phone book but were deeply imprinted in his mind.

After a few long beeps on the phone, a clear female voice sounded, which should be the servant's voice: "Hello."

Lin Rui tightened his grip on the receiver, and after a while he said slowly, "Hi, I'm looking for Yao Sheng, Mr. Yao."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The maid responded politely. After a clear voice, there was only an abrupt and long silence.

Lin Rui leaned on the back of the seat, but his body tensed up unconsciously.Until he heard another commotion over there, he sat upright all of a sudden.

Soon, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded from the other end: "Hello?"

Lin Rui's hand holding the receiver suddenly began to tremble.Perhaps only when all sensory stimulation other than hearing is removed through the phone, the old age and vicissitudes that are no longer in this voice will be so obvious.Lin Rui felt for a moment that he might be too sensitive about it, but this feeling still made him feel a sharp pain in his heart.

"Hello?" As if he didn't hear the response from the people here, Yao Sheng asked tentatively again, his voice was calm and polite, which was completely different from the feeling of glaring at him in the cemetery that day, "Excuse me What's the matter?"

Facing the sudden questioning, Lin Rui suddenly became at a loss.He tried his best to calm his trembling hands, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word or syllable.

There seemed to be waiting and waiting, and finally complained a few words in a low voice to express inexplicability.Soon there was only a short "beep" sound, which was still the same monotonous syllable, and it seemed that it would never contain any emotional ups and downs.

Lin Rui put down the phone slowly, stared at the "disconnected" on the screen for a long time, suddenly laughed mockingly, leaned back on the back of the chair, slid his fingertips little by little, and slowly closed the slider. build.

Obviously it was just a simple "Dad, I'm going to Milan", it was just a short farewell of a few words.I didn't care about such an ordinary thing before, but now when I want it again, everything has become a luxury.

This is probably the best punishment for self-willedness in the past.

While his thoughts were wandering, he suddenly felt a brake under him.When Lin Rui came back to his senses, he realized that the car had stopped at the door of a villa.

"Here we are, let's get out of the car." Fed, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned his head and caught sight of the hands tightly held by the two people in the back seat. Time, you will live here."

Lin Rui frowned when he heard that, and when he hesitated to ask why it was "you" instead of "us", Fed had already turned around and got out of the car, standing at the door of the villa and stretching his waist.

Zhong Yuan followed Lin Rui's gaze looking out of the window, and an indescribable expression flashed across his face.But in the end, he just smiled gently, opened the car door, turned around and said to Lin Rui, "Let's go."

--------

This two-story small villa is in a typical European style, but the decoration in warm colors is simple and decent, and people can't help but want to relax when they walk in.

"This is an extra house for the army," Fed put his luggage in the corner, and said with a smile, "you can do whatever you want here during this time."

"Hey, hey, you're really rude." As soon as the words fell, a person came in behind, playing with the car keys in his hand, making a crisp sound.

This person is the "big army" that Fed just mentioned. His full name is Zhou Jun, a very common name.However, this person's life is a bit "legendary". He studied financial management at Cornell University in college, and he is also a Fed alumni.After graduation, he found a job in a large company in the United States. Because of his good work, he was assigned to the Italian branch as the financial director a few years ago, which is the second in command after the CEO.It is conceivable that the economic situation has become so moist that it cannot be described simply as "rich".

However, this is only one of the reasons why Fed took advantage of him without shame. In addition, the "buddies" experience of the two in college is not enough to be the whole reason.A very important reason is that Da Jun, looking at the booming development of Xinli Media in recent years, has already begun to plan to invest a sum of money in it to become a shareholder, and also take a share of Xinli's excellent situation.

Fed naturally knew this, so this time he came to "trouble" him without any shame.Zhou Jun also knew Fed's intentions, so he was extraordinarily generous and caring, and today he drove himself to pick up the plane.

This doesn't mean that there are hypocritical feelings between them, it's just that facing these two people who both have the essence of businessmen, "win-win" or using each other to get what they need is the most sensible choice.On the contrary, it is far better than those friends who say they are both ribs and three swords, but in fact they are simply emotional.

"The so-called buddy is to overcome all difficulties and come forward when you have so much money that you don't know how to spend it, don't you think so? Look how loyal I am!" Fed smiled indifferently. said jokingly.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and your face is really cemented again." Zhou Jun sneered and said ironically.

"Well, let's go outside to catch up on the old days." Fed suddenly glanced at the two people standing aside "watching the battle", then looked back at the army and said with a smile, "How about taking me to the best bar here as a treat?"

The corner of Zhou Jun's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to say something, everyone had been pushed out of the door by Fed.

"Everything is arranged, come to me when you remember anything." Fed only said a word, and then closed the door with a "touch".

--------

"Are they a couple?" After getting into the car, Zhou Jun suddenly poked Fed with one hand and asked mysteriously.

Fed looked at Zhou Jun, showed a faint smile, and said, "Are you seeing too many gays here? As for making this mysterious expression?"

Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but when he was at the red light, he suddenly leaned over and stared at Fed.

"What are you doing, are you annoying?" Fed frowned and gave him a sidelong glance.

"I found that you talked less after you came out of the closed door." Zhou Jun folded his hands with great interest, and suddenly asked in a more mysterious tone than before, "You talked so much just now, didn't you do it on purpose? Did they see it?"

Fed looked at him, suddenly laughed deliberately, and said, "Good imagination."

"It's called psychology," Zhou Jun shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm still in charge of training this course for employees recently, don't underestimate my keen insight!"

"Insight? What did you discover?" Fed turned his head out of the window, looking indifferently at a magnificent cathedral not far away.

"I'm thinking about it..." Zhou Jun deliberately slowed down his voice until Fed turned his head to look at him, and then he said, "You must be interested in one of them?" Seeing that Fed didn't respond immediately, he immediately He proudly raised his voice, "Ha, I guessed right, so you're also crooked!"

Fed didn't know what to say for a while, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, saying, "Okay, I'm convinced."

"Once again, I have a supreme sense of superiority because of my insight." Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows proudly, and continued to flinch brazenly.

The red light turned into a green light, he happily stepped on the accelerator, and his little car started running happily.

But after a while, he heard Fed's voice next to him: "By the way, Dajun, the financing of Xinli has recently encountered a bottleneck, right?"

Zhou Jun didn't expect Fed to mention this matter so directly. He looked ahead, paused, and complained jokingly, "Yeah, it's not that your father's conditions are too harsh."

Soon came Fed's light smile.After a while, he heard him say slowly again: "If... I can convince my father, what do you think?"

Zhou Jun suddenly turned his head to look at Fed, and saw that the latter had a calm expression on his face, but his tone was somewhat harsh.

"What conditions do you want?" He immediately knew that Fed needed a reason for doing so, and asked while looking at the road ahead.

"Sure enough, buddy, you know me well enough." Fed's smile became a little obvious immediately, but he didn't look at Zhou Jun, but turned his head to look out of the car window, his voice was faint, almost drifting in the wind: "The conditions?" , let me be the marketing director here."
