Flashy Circle 3

Evening breeze.The embankment is still lit all the way, and the laser lights on the high-rise buildings in the CBD on the other side of the river are still flashing.

Ling Shang and He Xiutong stood by the railing, "This, here... I, the place, the place where we met for the first time?" He Xiutong asked after seeing clearly.

Ah, this sentence really sounds like an eight o'clock drama.

Ling Shang added, "It's also a place I often come to when I'm unhappy."

He Xiutong recalled what happened today, and lowered his head, "I, I am, did I, cause you trouble again...?"

"No."

He Xiutong slightly turned to look at him.

"In the personnel department this afternoon, did they say something nasty?"

"No, no." He Xiutong immediately shook his head.

Ling Shang looked at him, "Then why are you so eager to withdraw from the training program in France?"

"I, I... I can't, I can't." He mumbled.

Ling Shang supported the railing with both hands.After a pause, he suddenly asked, "...when you were bullied, what did those people call you?"

After a while, He Xiutong said in a low voice, "...Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, white, idiot, dead, stuttering..."

"...When I was bullied before, they called me a bastard, a bastard, a bitch, a son of a bitch, etc." Ling Shang said.

Upon hearing this, He Xiutong opened his mouth wide. "...for, why..."

"I am the illegitimate child of the Ling family, and I was taken back when I was 10 years old. ... The main family of the Ling family has no sons, and they need an heir.

"No matter where I go, whether I return to Ling's house or not, these titles will follow me.

"So you see, no one is perfect, and everyone has problems of one kind or another. ... It's not that I haven't been disgusted and wronged.

"However, this kind of life belongs to oneself in the final analysis. No matter what the innate conditions are, in the next few decades, I have to go through it step by step.

"Instead of being at the mercy of external forces, it is better to find a way to control the future. I once said to myself, I must become stronger."

"Now, I don't mind what other people say anymore." Ling Shang stretched out his hand, pointing to a skyscraper on the other side of the river, "That's the Ling Group. And that place is mine. No matter what those guys say or do , They have no ability to take a cent from me."

When Ling Shang spoke, He Xiutong kept his mouth half open in surprise.After listening, he realized, "...you are amazing." He looked at Ling Shang with admiration in his eyes.

"You can do it too." Ling Shang turned to look at him.

"……I?"

"You may be stupid and stutter, but there is one thing that no matter what others say or do, you can't take it away - your ability to make dim sum."

"Your craft can make a meal look good and fill a lot of people happily. . . . You should be proud of yourself."

"...I, can I, can I?" He Xiutong asked in a daze.Can he think so?I really...have such a big effect?

"Why not?"

"He, they said... I, I climbed, climbed to your, this backstage..." He Xiutong lowered his head.

"...I have been told to 'climb the backstage' before." Ling Shang looked at the night sky in the distance, "But...it has nothing to do with 'them', what matters is you and what your 'backstage' thinks. "

He Xiutong looked up at him.

"...It is indeed my decision that you will be included in the list to go to France this time."

"Because I believe in you." Ling Shang said to He Xiutong, "What you need is not the background, but affirmation and recognition."

"The taste test some time ago is not just eating it. It gives me enough reason to believe in your ability and enthusiasm.

"He Xiutong, you can hide from some people; you can hide from some things. But you can't hide from life. If this is the case, why not face it bravely. You will find that everything is not as bad as you think."

"..."

He Xiutong felt his whole body was heating up, and his head began to swell.

For the first time, someone said such a thing to him.And this person is still an object that has never been thought of before and is out of reach.

Ever since I met Ling Shang, whenever I encountered any problems, he was always by my side.

Ling Shang was not the first person to affirm him, but he was the first to give him such strong support.

He Xiutong felt something gushing out of his heart, blocking his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.

That may be an exaggeration.But for He Xiutong, at this moment, everything around him seems to be shining, including himself.

The trough difficulties encountered in the past 20 years, my younger brother severed the relationship with me, and the first crush in my life ended in embarrassment, all of which have become less important; and the road called "life" seems not so difficult to walk .

The sparkle must have been so strong that his vision was beginning to blur.

"When I met you, I realized that my handkerchiefs were starting to run out." When He Xiutong was in a hurry to find a tissue, a silk handkerchief was handed to him.Ling Shang joked to him.

He Xiutong took it, feeling embarrassed, "Yes, I'm sorry...Thank, thank you..."

Ling Shang didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.

He Xiutong wiped his eyes, and when his vision became clear, he suddenly felt that Ling Shang's image was much taller.

He used to think that the person in front of him was amazing, but after learning that he was still so powerful after going through many difficulties, He Xiutong's feelings towards Ling Shang could be called "worship".

"...Then, are you still going to France?" Ling Shang entered the question.

Back to reality, He Xiutong's confidence in himself was not high enough, he tightened the handkerchief in his hand, "I..." He wanted to say "think about it more", but Ling Shang cut off his words.

"He Xiutong, you just need to answer me, go or not."

Ling Shang's crisp tone and shining eyes easily infected people. He Xiutong felt a great impetus. He seemed to have made up his mind and nodded vigorously, "Go!"

Ling Shang smiled with satisfaction.

The kappa finally got the hang of it, which is really gratifying.

Seeing Ling Shang smiled, He Xiutong was also happy.

After a pause, Ling Shang teased, "Maybe after you come back from your internship in France, I will need you to be the backstage."

He Xiutong had doubts in his eyes.

"Ling's hotel industry has always had factional disputes. Although I have power, I am still weak. I need help and build my own network. For hotels, nothing is more precious than an excellent chef. "

"You, you mean... I, I, after returning from France, France... can, can help, help you?" He Xiutong asked in surprise.

"Yes." Ling Shang replied affirmatively.

"Great, great!" This time, He Xiutong became very happy, "I, I will work hard!"

It was the first time Ling Shang saw He Xiutong who was so energetic.The other party really wants to help himself.

Although Kappa has many shortcomings, he is a kind and simple guy after all.And was it luck or misfortune that he met himself?

Ling Shang didn't think so much anymore.He came back to the present, "Okay. Let's have a late-night snack to celebrate now. What would you like to eat?"

Finally, they came to a food stall selling beef noodles.

When waiting for the food to be served, He Xiutong said to Ling Shang with both gratitude and embarrassment, "Ling, this, I, I invite you. Thank, thank you.... You, you are a very, very good person."

Two bowls of hot beef noodles arrived.

"Hello, Kappa."

"Huh?" Through the heat, He Xiutong looked at Ling Shang.

"I'm not a good person. In order to sit at the top of the Ling family, I did a lot of shady things."

There is a lot of noise around the food stall.

for a while.He Xiutong pursed his lips, "Yes, but you must, absolutely not, not a bad person." After speaking, he began to eat noodles.

Ling Shang raised his eyebrows.

I really don't know what the logic circuit of Kappa is like.

"...I'm not a bad person, but you have to remember that when I become bad... I'm not a human being." So, don't trust me 100%, it's safest to hold your life in your own hands.

This is a sentence that Ling Shang took out from the bottom of his heart.

He Xiutong looked up.Maybe tonight's inspirational words were preconceived and gave him enough chicken blood, and his will was unexpectedly firm.

"You lied."

After the three simple words, he lowered his head and continued to suck his face "russily".

Ling Shang blinked, feeling a little dumbfounded.

but.To be believed so wholeheartedly... doesn't feel bad either.

Well, he was too lazy to waste his words.Thinking of this, Ling Shang picked up the noodles between the chopsticks.

Just like that, in the bustling food stall, a kappa and an old Jianghu gathered around a small table, simply eating noodles...
