"Hey, why are you scratching me again? How many times have you said it? Don't stretch out your claws!" Song Ran suddenly withdrew her hand, and a few freeze-dried chicken pieces were scattered on the ground, and a few light red marks floated on the back of her hand.

"What's the matter?" Wu Xiaoyun hurriedly ran into the bookstore from the backyard, "Brother Ran, Xiaobai arrested you again?"

"Meow~" Xiaobai ate the diced chicken with relish, his tail was raised high, and he looked completely unrepentant.

Song Ran looked at its smug look, and was both amused and angry for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to protect the cat owner, so he secretly retracted his hands behind his back.

But it was too late, Wu Xiaoyun quickly grabbed his wrist, and after only one glance, the girl flew into a rage and said, "Hey, this stinky cat was very timid when it first came here, it's only been a few days, how dare you be so timid!" It’s so fat! Why don’t you just give it away!”

Xiaobai immediately raised his head, his amber eyes were wide open, he glanced at Wu Xiaoyun in bewilderment, then shrank pitifully to Song Ran's feet, holding his trouser legs with his paws, "Meow meow meow "Woo" screamed, cowardly to death.

Wu Xiaoyun said angrily: "Are you pretending to be pitiful? I'll give you away tomorrow!"

Song Ran hurriedly hugged Xiaobai into his arms, and said with a dry smile, "No way, I've been vaccinated anyway, so I'm fine."

Wu Xiaoyun snorted coldly: "Brother Ran, just get used to it, it ran up the roof of the backyard last night, and broke two tiles! It seems that our Black Cat Bookstore really can't keep white cats, so we better throw them away Already!"

Song Ran forcefully defended: "Catching mice is the way to go to the house. Besides, the chief designer said that it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. Why can't Black Cat Bookstore keep white cats?"

"It's just playing in the room, how can it catch mice? Several books in our warehouse were gnawed by mice the night before yesterday, and it slept like a dead pig! Throw it away!" Wu Xiaoyun said while going Go to lift Xiaobai's back of the neck.

Xiaobai was terrified, "meow meow meow" went straight into Song Ran's arms, desperately trying to avoid Wu Xiaoyun, the evil star.

Song Ran tried her best to avoid Wu Xiaoyun's claws, and said with a very hopeless smile: "Xiaoyun, it's only three things, let's let it go this time!"

Two people and a cat, you chased me and hid for a long time, all sweaty from exhaustion, Wu Xiaoyun finally let Xiaobai go.

After being intimidated by the girl, Xiaobai really became a lot more honest. He carefully ate the freeze-dried diced chicken from Song Ran's hand, and even licked Song Ran's palm with his tongue to flatter him. Ding box.

"Hey, bullying and fearful stinky cat!" Wu Xiaoyun spat on it, "Brother Ran, look at it, if you don't give it a hard time, it can ride on your head!"

"Meow~" Xiao Bai flinched in fright from her sharp gaze, and quickly plunged his head into Song Ran's arms, the whole cat trembled.

Song Ran touched Xiaobai in a funny and angry way, and couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyun, I remember you used to speak softly, why are you now a little pepper?"

Wu Xiaoyun pursed her lips: "It's not that Brother Ran, you are so easy to talk, we must have someone who is more aggressive, otherwise the cat can ride on the head."

Song Ran looked at her unconvinced little firecracker, and couldn't help laughing secretly. Although Wu Xiaoyun had a fierce mouth, he was actually a knife-mouthed bean curd, and Xiao Bai's cat litter was made by her with old clothes and rattan baskets. , just below the attic stairs.

Now the bookstore is in good condition, Song Ran has a lot of money, bought a second-hand car the year before last, and remodeled the yard last year. On the basis of the original two rooms, a small attic was added. As Wu Xiaoyun's bedroom.

With her own independent bedroom, Wu Xiaoyun is very happy. She put a lot of succulents on the small balcony of the attic, making it look like a botanical garden. Unfortunately, Xiaobai has eaten a lot in the past two days. No wonder she sees Xiaobai dislike; despise.

That night, Song Ran was lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a while.

Now that autumn has just entered, the air is already a bit chilly. The cicadas on the big banyan tree in the yard are chirping half-deadly, and Xiaobai is lying in the cat's nest under the stairs in the attic, occasionally making a soft "meow~".

In this quiet night, listening to the faint meowing sound, Song Ran suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if a long time ago, there was such a night, there was a kitten who always scratched people, and Someone who likes to be coquettish...

He thought about it, fell asleep unknowingly, and then had a lot of weird dreams.

The dream was broken and messy, with car accidents, cliffs, snow, street lights, joy, betrayal, scorching heat waves, and icy sea water... There was also a little black cat, and someone called him "brother".

When she woke up the next day, Song Ran felt dizzy and dizzy.

I don't know why, for the next few days, Song Ran didn't sleep well, and he kept having messy dreams. He vaguely felt that these dreams were related to his past, but the dreams were too messy, no matter how hard he tried. , can't piece together a specific plot, only some broken fragments.

In those clips, snowy nights and black cats, car accidents and cliffs, heat waves and sea water repeatedly appeared, and someone called him "brother" in a low voice. Then guess, maybe that is his daughter-in-law.

In the past three years, Song Ran has seen a doctor, and also had CT and MRI of his brain. The doctor said that his brain has no organic problems, but he just can't remember it. There is nothing else, but he feels very sorry. My own daughter-in-law, but there is no other way.

And these broken dreams recently, and the faint distant call made him feel more guilty. He couldn't sleep well at night, he was preoccupied during the day, and dark circles grew out of his eyes.

This morning, while eating breakfast, Song Ran rubbed his eyes tiredly: "Xiaoyun, today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the commercial plaza, right? I'll drive you there later."

Wu Xiaoyun glanced at him, and said worriedly: "Brother Ran, you have dark circles under your eyes recently, did you not sleep well? Or forget it, I'll just go by myself."

"I don't know why, but I keep dreaming recently." Song Ran sighed, "It's okay, it's good to go out for a walk. I'm too busy during the day, and I can't sleep at night."

Wu Xiaoyun didn't say anything else. After breakfast, the two of them came to Song's Commercial Plaza in Huaiyang District early, waiting for the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the first anniversary of the completion of the plaza.

The commercial plaza is very lively today. Hundreds of huge hydrogen balloons pulled up a big red banner tens of meters high. The podium is filled with beautiful flower baskets. There is still more than an hour before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The male and female hosts and special guests Guests, big and small celebrities all came, as well as a bunch of reporters, fans, ordinary audience, and passers-by watching the excitement, all crowded and bustling.

At ten o'clock, the melodious bell rang.

"When - when - when -"

After the bell stopped, the male host said some witty words, which caused the audience to burst into laughter, and then announced the program of the event, first the ribbon cutting, followed by speeches by special guests, and finally live performances by the stars.

The beautiful hostess smiled and said, "Next, I invite Mr. Lin Feiyu, Chairman and CEO of Song Group, to cut the ribbon for us."

Accompanied by warm applause, a very tall and handsome young man stepped onto the rostrum steadily. He was wearing a pair of light brown sunglasses and a dark gray slim-fit suit. He looked only 26 or seven years old, but he was very handsome. aura.

The originally noisy square gradually quieted down. Everyone stared blankly at the young helm of the Song Group, almost hearing a needle drop.

Song Ran also stared blankly at the handsome young man on the stage. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

This is the chairman of the Song Group, Lin Feiyu?

"Mr. Lin, please say a few words." The hostess came back to her senses, and quickly handed the microphone and the speech to Lin Feiyu.

Lin Feiyu took the microphone, but did not take the speech. He just smiled and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Everyone, good morning. I am Lin Feiyu, chairman of the Song Group, and today I am the number one member of the Song Group. The first anniversary of the completion of Baizuo Commercial Plaza...Finally, I sincerely welcome everyone to come here and hope you have a good time."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the golden scissors handed over by the host, and cut the bright red ribbon neatly. Suddenly, firecrackers rang out and the ribbons fluttered all over the sky.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Song Ran heard the little girl next to her whisper: "That Boss Lin is so handsome."

Another girl rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, that's Lin Feiyu, the youngest actor of the Jiangcheng Film Festival, the top streamer of the year, because something happened to the crew, he retired behind the scenes."

"Yeah, I've heard of it too, but I didn't expect him to be so young, and he's even more handsome in real life than in photos."

"Yeah, he's really handsome, and he's very aura."

"Why does he wear sunglasses? The sun is not too bright today."

"I don't know, but he looks handsome in sunglasses."

"Hmm, yes..."

Listening to these discussions, Song Ran looked at the handsome young man on the stage. There was a slight smile on the young man's lips, and he waved gently to the reporters and audience in the audience. He looked almost impeccable and perfect. pole.

But Song Ran had a strange feeling. He felt that perfect smile was like a cold and hard mask, covering up all the emotions of the young man, making him look like a lifeless puppet.

Lin Feiyu shouldn't be smiling like this. When he really smiles, the corners of his lips will be raised high, revealing a row of plaid-like white teeth. There is a small dimple on the left cheek and amber eyes. Shiny, with a sense of smugness, cute, and hateful.

Thinking of this, the familiar headache came again, Song Ran rubbed his temples, and frowned tightly.

"Brother Ran, what's the matter? Do you have a headache?" Wu Xiaoyun whispered.

"It's nothing." Song Ran came back to her senses, and shook her head with a smile.

He was simply whimsical, he actually thought that Chairman Lin shouldn't be smiling that way, and imagined that the other party should have a small dimple, and a pair of amber eyes... Damn amber eyes, he didn't Knowing the aloof Chairman Lin, most of the time he looked at Xiaobai's round amber eyes every day, so he had this strange fantasy.

After the ribbon-cutting was over, Lin Feiyu didn't seem to intend to continue watching the guest speeches and star performances, and walked straight to the elevator of the mall. A large group of people surrounded him, including bodyguards, secretaries, and mall executives.

"Brother Ran, I, I went to find Boss Lin." Wu Xiaoyun glanced at Song Ran anxiously.

"Come on." Song Ran smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Wu Xiaoyun took a deep breath and followed immediately.

The group of people surrounded Lin Feiyu and came all the way to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. The driver opened the door of the black SUV and said respectfully, "Boss Lin."

Seeing that Lin Feiyu was about to get into the car, Wu Xiaoyun tried his best to push through the crowd, squeezed in hastily, and said out of breath, "Lin, Mr. Lin! Wait!"

Lin Feiyu's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at Wu Xiaoyun. He was wearing a pair of light brown sunglasses, and he could vaguely see the pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes behind the lens, but Wu Xiaoyun had a strange feeling, she felt that Lin Feiyu was not there. Looking at herself, or rather, she felt that the other party's sight was empty.

But this is obviously just her illusion, because Lin Feiyu has already said lightly: "Little girl, what's the matter?"

Wu Xiaoyun plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Mr. Lin, our Black Cat Bookstore wants to cooperate with your commercial plaza!"

She was so nervous that she forgot all the negotiating skills Song Ran taught her, and she just said such a nonsensical remark, everyone was slightly taken aback, and then let out a mocking low laugh.

"Haha, who is this?"

"Who does she think Mr. Lin is?"

"What a rash!"

Wu Xiaoyun's pretty face was flushed red, her heart was full of annoyance and regret, she was in a hurry and forgot what brother Ran taught her, she was so stupid!

Lin Feiyu didn't seem to hear those laughing voices, nor did he see Wu Xiaoyun's flushed face, so he murmured: "Black Cat Bookstore? Black Cat Bookstore?"

He chewed on the name of the store over and over again, almost feeling nervous, the laughter and discussions gradually stopped, and the executives looked at the moody Chairman Lin anxiously, not knowing what he meant.

Although Wu Xiaoyun is a bit immature, she is very clever. She immediately realized that these executives are very afraid of this Chairman Lin, and she doesn't care about their attitude at all, whether it's ridicule or disdain, she just needs to deal with the Chairman Lin in front of her. That's it.

She took a deep breath, and quickly said: "Mr. Lin, it's like this, our Black Cat Bookstore..."

Lin Feiyu came back to his senses and interrupted her directly: "Why is it called this name?"

"what?"

Lin Feiyu asked impatiently, "Why is it called Black Cat Bookstore?"

Wu Xiaoyun said in a daze, "Uh, my brother took it."

"Your brother?" Lin Feiyu was silent for a while, "What's your last name? Where are you from?"

The ID cards of Wu Xiaoyun and Song Ran said that it was a small inland city. Wu Xiaoyun casually reported his surname and the name of the small city, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Development..."But I don't know why, Lin Feiyu suddenly became less interested, so he just said coldly: "Your bookstore plans to develop into a chain model, what does it have to do with me?"

Wow, it's exactly as expected by Brother Ran. The big boss doesn't care about the future development of this small bookstore at all. He has to think differently, think differently.

Wu Xiaoyun immediately said: "Mr. Lin, our Black Cat Bookstore can attract traffic through its own app and third-party apps, expand new customers, and increase the viscosity of old customers. This can also help the commercial plaza to further increase customer traffic..."

Lin Feiyu listened to her twittering in silence for a long time, and then said calmly: "It sounds okay. But now the profit of physical books is not high, tell me, why are you working so hard to become a chain bookstore?"

Wu Xiaoyun was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the book that Song Ran recommended him to read, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, I especially agree with a point of view, that is, a person's life is very long and short, and you have to do what you like and have real value. It’s not a waste of this life. I like reading very much, but I didn’t have such an opportunity when I was a child. If it weren’t for my brother, my life might be ruined. So now I also want to help others, so that everyone can Seeing more good books, I will distribute some books to primary schools in impoverished mountainous areas every year... In short, Black Cat Bookstore is my life's work."

Lin Feiyu's expression gradually turned blank, his fingers curled up involuntarily, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

Wu Xiaoyun said cautiously: "Boss Lin?"

Lin Feiyu trembled slightly, then said hoarsely: "Who told you this?"

Second Monk Zhang Zhang was puzzled by Wu Xiaoyun: "Which sentence?"

"A person's life is both long and short. Do what you like and have real value."

"Oh, this is what I read in the book "Song Group: Song Ran's Business Empire". Mr. Song Ran is the former CEO of your group. I like some of his ideas very much. I watched it several times." Wu Xiaoyun carefully observed Lin Feiyu's expression, trying to gain some relationship with the Song Group and flatter him.

But I don't know why, after saying these words, Lin Feiyu's expression turned cold instantly, that handsome and handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of icy frost, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was trying his best to control something An extremely violent emotion, then turned and walked into the car without saying a word.

Wu Xiaoyun became anxious immediately, she had already promised Brother Ran that she would definitely win the berth in Song's Commercial Plaza, if she failed at the first step, how could she have the face to go back and see Brother Ran?She turned her head quickly, trying to recall what she said just now, but she couldn't think of which sentence went wrong.

Seeing that the car was about to start, she couldn't care about anything anymore, she rushed to the window and said anxiously: "Boss Lin, our Black Cat Bookstore really..."

"Pull her away." Lin Feiyu said coldly.
