October, Beijing City.

It was raining lightly outside the window, and the silver needle-like raindrops fell, enveloping the whole world in a hazy sense of beauty.

Ryanside Western Restaurant is located on the top floor of the riverside building. Sitting on the terrace, you can overlook the entire Luojiang River. Even if the clouds are slightly sinking and it is raining lightly, it does not make people feel bored.

Today, the Ryanside Western Restaurant was booked out. On the round stage not far away, the violin and cello played together, the tune was gentle and long, and the air was filled with the fragrance of unknown aromatherapy...

All of this is just for one person.

Guests like to be quiet, and only the manager is standing by in the whole hall, ready to provide high-quality service at any time. He slightly lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist. Twelve minutes have passed since the agreed time, but Mr. Liang who booked the restaurant has not yet arrive.

He couldn't help but look sideways at the man sitting by the window.

The man was very young, wearing a light-colored suit, and the top button of his white shirt was undone, revealing a pair of delicate and beautiful collarbones.His skin is very fair, and two small moles on his right collarbone are faintly visible. With his cold expression and those peach blossom eyes, he looks very attractive in the ambiguous environment deliberately created by the restaurant.

Ryanside Western Restaurant is located in Beijing, and its initial positioning was to serve high-end customers. As the manager of the restaurant, he has a little understanding of the wealthy circle. Ji is well-known in the circle.

The fame of the former mainly comes from the status of the Liang family in the business world. The Liang family is a well-known wealthy celebrity in Beijing. After three generations of wealth accumulation, the right to speak in the business market in Beijing cannot be underestimated. Liang Xuwen is the generation of the Liang family. heirs.

The current headed family of the Liang family has a traditional mindset. As the eldest grandson, Liang Xuwen was raised as an heir since he was a child. He has always been a child of someone else's family and never makes mistakes.

But Shen Ji is different, not to mention the unstable foundation of the Shen family, also as the eldest grandson, Shen Ji is the one who is the least valued in the family. There was no splash, but the most famous one was his love story with Liang Xuwen.

And in that story, he was just a substitute for Zheng Liuhe, the young master of Bai Yueguang's Zheng family in Liang Xuwen's heart. Even if the two had been together for many years, in the eyes of others, he was just a second-best plaything.

And his extraordinarily superior appearance, on the contrary, became the evidence of the stand-in.

Even if he was not valued at home, he would not be a fool to be admitted to Huada University, but he chose such a path.Thinking about the unsavory comments in the rumors, the manager couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Shen Ji didn't know that the manager was feeling sorry for himself. There was something wrong with the foreign shipment half a month ago. Liang Xuwen rushed over to deal with it, and left the project in Beicheng to him. It took him two days to finally finish it. He was a little tired.

As for Liang Xuwen's absence today, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel it in his heart, but at this moment, it was that exhaustion that prevailed.

The screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up, Shen Ji connected the phone, and said calmly: "Mr. Liang."

His alienated tone made the manager's heart tremble. He was obviously a close lover, and now he even used such a nickname.

It seems that this Mr. Shen doesn't show it on the surface, but he is actually very angry.

No matter what, I still hope that Liang can always coax people well first, so that he, a small restaurant manager, will not be implicated.

Shen Ji naturally didn't know what he was thinking, if he knew, he must tell him not to worry.Not to mention that it wasn't Liang Xuwen on the other end of the phone, even if it was, today it would be easy to tell. After all, neither he nor Liang Xuwen are people who would lose face by yelling.

But the man talking to him at this moment is indeed the Liang family, Liang Xuwen's cousin Liang Pei.

Under the arrangement of Mr. Liang, Liang Pei's second room has always been calm.

Until two years ago, Liang Pei, who had just graduated from university, somehow moved Mr. Liang, and directly participated in the decision-making of an important project of the company, and under his leadership, that project achieved unexpectedly good results.

For nearly a year after that, Liang Pei has always been the biggest threat to Liang Xuwen as heir.

Logically speaking, the relationship between Liang Pei and Shen Ji is also delicate.After all, in this family dispute, Shen Ji has always been Liang Xuwen's staunchest supporter.

But no matter how fiercely Liang Pei and Liang Xuwen competed in the company, they always treated Shen Ji with courtesy and even showed affection many times.

It's not that Shen Ji didn't think about it, maybe this is Liang Pei's way of soliciting dissension, but gradually he doesn't think so, Liang Pei is very sincere.

In the field of interests, I feel that the opponent is very sincere. This matter is ridiculous no matter how you look at it. When it comes to Shen Ji, it still has a trace of inexplicable weirdness, but Shen Ji did not take Liang Pei's attitude to heart.

"Manager Shen is still so polite." Liang Pei seemed to smile, and said, "I'm calling you now because I have some good news to share with you."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to know that Shen Ji would not give him any response, and he did not continue to play tricks, "Zheng Liuhe is back, I just arrived at the airport two hours ago, I have sent you the photos and related materials, if you are interested You can take a look."

"Zheng Liuhe?" This was really beyond Shen Ji's expectations, this person has been away for too long, there has been no news of it these years, so long that he almost forgot, the person who left may come back at any time.

"That's right, it's Zheng Liuhe."

Liang Pei seemed satisfied with his reaction, and added: "My cousin seems to have arrived at the airport two hours ago, and they all came back from country A. Guess, could it be the same plane?"

"Oh, that's right!" Liang Pei's tone rose, as if he had just remembered, "The Zheng family and the Liang family are family friends. Mrs. Liang is not feeling well today. If they really met on the plane, Zheng Liu and this well-behaved What will the younger generation do?"

Although it was a question, Shen Ji knew in his heart that if Liang Pei dared to ask such a question, it was probably true.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ji checked the time for the first time since entering the restaurant.

At 06:30, half an hour had passed since the agreed time, but Liang Xuwen never gave him any news.

In the photo, two men are walking side by side. The shorter one is very handsome. He looks just over twenty, wearing a beige hooded sweater and light-colored jeans. He looks like a college student who just graduated, as if he heard something interesting Things, with a big smile on your face.

And the man next to him was wearing a suit and leather shoes, maybe because he had been on the plane for too long, he looked a bit haggard, but his expression was very gentle, which was the look Shen Ji was most familiar with.

Liang Xuwen's special assistant, Assistant Xiao, followed behind the two of them. Under Liang Pei's carefully arranged filter, their faces were blurred.

Shen Ji casually glanced at the photo, without clicking on the information on Zheng Liuhe carefully prepared by Liang Pei for him, and directly pressed the power off button.

Working overtime for half a month seemed more exhausting than he had imagined, and at this moment he didn't even have the strength to continue waiting.

Shen Ji thought so, and said to the manager standing beside him: "The air outside looks pretty good, please open the window, the music can also be stopped, and then bring a menu."

The manager has a high professionalism and kept his eyes on the whole process. Even if the customer who reserved the table did not show up, he did not show any doubts.

Soon everything was arranged according to Shen Ji's request, and the misty breeze blew in from the window, breaking the carefully prepared atmosphere of the restaurant.

Shen Ji has never had a big appetite, half a serving of steak and two mouthfuls of pasta will fill him up.

As the sky darkened, he sat on the terrace, the glass beside him reflected fine starlight, and outside the window was the riverside street scene when the lights were just on, with lively or warm lights and shadows flickering everywhere, but Shen Ji's gaze fell on farther away.

Today's Luojiang River seems to be rushing extraordinarily, hitting the soft sand and hidden reefs on the shore again and again, appearing powerful and dangerous in the hazy mist.

As it was getting late, Shen Ji went home alone.

During this period of time, Shen Ji was exhausted from running around for the project in Beicheng, physically and mentally exhausted, and went to bed early after taking a bath.

Waking up the next day, the phone showed that there were three missed calls last night, all from Liang Xuwen. Shen Ji went back and heard the phone ringing outside the door.

Shen Ji hung up the phone, and after two knocks on the door, the door was opened from the outside. Liang Xuwen was wearing an apron over an off-white knitted sweater. The smell of food permeated in from behind him. He smiled and said to him: "Wake up, clean up." Get down and have breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the floor-to-ceiling windows and opened the curtains. Following his movements, the sun shone on him little by little, making him look very warm.

After tidying himself up, Shen Ji went straight to the dining room. Two bowls of noodles were placed on the dining table. On the noodles lay a beautiful fried egg, which spread with the smell of chopped green onion.

Shen Ji is no stranger to this kind of scene, he doesn't know how to cook, but Liang Xuwen occasionally comes over when he has time, and he bought all the utensils in the kitchen.

Seeing that Shen Ji's attitude was normal, Liang Xuwen explained in a warm voice: "I'm sorry, Ah Ji, just as I got off the plane yesterday, my family called to say that my mother had a heart attack and told me to go back quickly. I was so anxious at that time that I didn't have time Let me tell you. When I rushed to the restaurant, you had already left, and the phone couldn't be reached. Assistant Han said that you were busy a while ago, so I didn't disturb your rest. "

After finishing speaking, he stared at Shen Ji, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, apologetic.

Shen Ji: "Well, how is Auntie doing now?"

Hearing that Shen Ji cared about his mother as before, Liang Xuwen breathed a sigh of relief, "It has stabilized, and I will be discharged from the hospital after two more days of observation."

Shen Ji was not contacted last night. Although he was a little uneasy, he didn't think the matter was serious. As long as he took a step back and admitted his mistake, Shen Ji would always forgive him.

Thinking of this, Liang Xuwen felt relieved. Seeing that Shen Ji finished eating the noodles and was about to get up to put away the bowl, he suddenly heard Shen Ji say: "The project in Beicheng is basically finalized, and the detailed plan and other working rules have been sent to you email, and the signing time is tentatively set at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Well, I'm always at ease when you do things."

Liang Xuwen smiled and wanted to touch his hair, but thought that there might be some oil stains on his hands, so he had to give up regretfully.

From waking up to now, the picture has been very warm. Shen Ji looked out the window, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the light in the room also dimmed.

Shen Ji looked at him, and suddenly said: "Let's break up."
