After Shi Yunnan returned to the parking lot, he still had a serious face.
Wen Yibei couldn't see his younger brother's mood, so he stretched out his hand to caress his frowning brows, "Okay, don't be annoyed by people who have passed away."
"I just think it's ridiculous. Have they cared about me even once in these years? Now they are saying confession in front of you and me one by one? Say guilt? What did you do 20 years ago?"
"Just relying on a will and a little money now, do you want us two brothers to get involved with the Shi family again?"
Shi Yunnan sneered, and couldn't help complaining, "It took me eight lifetimes of misfortune to be named 'Shi'. If I had known this, I might as well have just told my grandfather to change it to 'Wen'."
Wen Yibei was amused by his childishness, "It's pretty good, what are you doing with your surname? Just ignore it."
Shi Yunnan leaned against the car and calmed down a little.
He could forget about everything about the Shi family, but if the old things were brought up again, Shi Yunnan would still not choose to forgive those people.
"Brother, but you don't have to do what I think."
Shi Yunnan is an independent individual, and he doesn't want to put his emotions on Wen Yibei.
He thought of the amount of property in the will just now, and a hint of interest flickered in his eyes, "The old man kept that money in his arms for a lifetime, and Xie Wei and Xie Ke couldn't take it down no matter how hard they tried, but when it came to the end, they actually took it all." Out?"
"Don't you want it for nothing? If Xie Keyue knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood."
Wen Yibei patted him on the forehead, "When I'm in a better mood, I start talking nonsense, and I don't care about what the prisoner is doing? You don't care about this money anymore, and I don't need it as an older brother."
"I will come forward and make it clear to Shi Sheng, so that he will not disturb our normal life in the future."
Wen Yibei took advantage of the situation and patted Shi Yunnan's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Yunnan, you just have to remember, from now on, we won't have anything to do with the Shi family."
Shi Yunnan smiled and nodded to his elder brother's gentle eyes as always.
Wen Yibei stopped this topic, and looked back to Shi Yunnan's ring finger, "Finally put it on."
"what?"
Shi Yunnan was half a beat slower, following Wen Yibei's line of sight, and only then did he react belatedly.
Wen Yibei chuckled, "I accidentally found out that you and Luo Lingsheng got the certificate before, but I always felt that there was something 'something wrong' between you. Later, I found out that neither you nor him were wearing wedding rings, and I was secretly worried for a long time. For a while..."
After all, this involves the personal relationship of his own brother, it is not easy for Wen Yibei to ask directly.
"Yunnan, I know that you have been wronged a lot these years, no matter how much I ask and make amends, you still hide it and refuse to say it easily."
Wen Yibei recalled some of the past, and there were a little more ups and downs in his steady voice, "Now that you have Luo Lingsheng, you finally have one more person you can rely on."
"elder brother."
Sensing Wen Yibei's mood swings, Shi Yunnan intentionally laughed at him instead.
"You said just now that you don't want to mention the past and don't get involved anymore. It's only been less than 3 minutes. How come you still feel uncomfortable remembering it?"
He reached out and put the ring in front of Wen Yibei and shook it, "I'm fine now, and..."
Wen Yibei asked, "And what?"
Seeing Wen Yibei's curious and candid eyes, Shi Yunnan was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, he had mistakenly thought that his elder brother was Bai Yueguang who Luo Lingsheng had been secretly in love with for several years.
Wen Yibei smiled at Wen, "Why are you still embarrassed to talk in the middle of the conversation?"
"Who said I'm embarrassed?"
Shi Yunnan retorted, but couldn't hide the smile at the end of his eyes, "Also, the relationship between Luo Lingsheng and I was destined. We met each other at the birthday party that year, because I got drunk and forgot about things."
"Otherwise, once I reach the legal age of marriage, I should drag Luo Lingsheng to obtain a certificate."
Wen Yibei's younger brother showed him so much that he couldn't see it, so he couldn't help but stop him, "Okay, look at your contentment, you're still playing with me here."
As soon as the voice fell, Shi Yunnan's cell phone rang, and it was from the studio staff.
"Hey?"
"Designer Shi, are you still in the studio today? Suddenly a gentleman came here looking for you."
"Someone looking for me?"
Shi Yunnan glanced at Wen Yibei who was beside him, and after briefly confirming the identity of the visitor on the phone, he hurriedly explained a few words and hung up the phone.
Wen Yibei took the initiative to ask, "Busy?"
Shi Yunnan didn't deny it, he looked at the time on his phone, "Brother, where are you going? I'll drive you there."
"No need, I came by car myself." Wen Yibei refused gently, he didn't want to delay his younger brother's important work.
"You were originally called by me temporarily, so hurry back and drive carefully on the road."
Shi Yunnan nodded and returned to the car, opened the window and responded, "Brother, you should also drive carefully, and call again on the weekend."
"it is good."
Shi Yunnan didn't say any more, started the car and drove away.
Ling'an Funeral Home and Jade Market are in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, Shi Yunnan arrived at the design studio.
The assistant he recruited came up immediately, "Designer Shi, that gentleman called and said he came to see you. After I contacted you, I asked him to wait in the reception room."
"understood."
Shi Yunnan walked in, saw Lu Zhaoan's empty office, and asked casually, "Is the person in charge Lu out?"
The assistant answered truthfully, "Yes, he made an appointment with Lingyu Design to discuss matters related to the acquisition today, and he took the project team out early in the morning."
Since Lu Zhaoan came back, everything has been going smoothly.
Shi Yunnan nodded, stopped in front of the reception room and asked, "There is a box of white jade ceramic carvings on the cabinet in my office, go and get them now."
"Ok."
The assistant responded and went to work.
Shi Yunnan adjusted his clothes slightly, and calmly pushed the door open.
In the reception room with a simple layout but without losing the artistic beauty, there is a foreign man sitting right now——
The other party was holding a cup of coffee to taste, looking handsome and perfect from the side, the watch on his wrist was slightly revealed, and those who knew the brand could tell that it was an expensive luxury product.
Because he heard the sound of the door being pushed, the foreign man raised his gaze, and his amber brown eyes immediately overflowed with joy, "Mr. Shi, we meet again."
"Mr. Ning, welcome to Huaguo."
The foreign man in front of him was Ning De'an who had met Shi Yunnan overseas.
After the field trip in Dehua County, Shi Yunnan became interested in the overseas market, and he naturally thought of Ning De'an, who had a lot of insight into ceramics and was rich in assets in the 'Original World'.
With the idea of giving it a try, Shi Yunnan asked someone to inquire about Ning De'an's overseas asset company immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital, and after a little trouble, he contacted the other party himself.
Ning De'an was deeply impressed by Shi Yunnan.
He saw the series of ceramics and business plans shared by the other party in the mailbox, and decided to take the time to come to Huaguo. Whether the cooperation was successful or not, it could be regarded as fulfilling his grandfather's dream of returning to Huaguo.
The two agreed to meet a week ago, and planned to meet again and talk in detail.
Shi Yunnan sat on the side seat of the sofa, a little surprised by Ning De'an's early arrival, "Didn't Mr. Ning say that he would arrive at the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow?"
"I dealt with some personal matters this morning, sorry for keeping you waiting."
"I'm the one who should say sorry." Ning De'an put down the coffee cup in his hand and replied with a smile.
"I finished handling important family matters two days earlier than expected, so I changed the flight and came earlier. I wonder if it will affect Mr. Shi's work plan?"
Because the landing time was still early, Ning De'an didn't feel sleepy after checking in at the hotel, so he changed the route temporarily.
Shi Yunnan replied straightforwardly, "It doesn't matter, I want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Ning, so naturally all the materials have been arranged."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the glass door of the reception room.
The assistant who got permission came in with a series of white jade ceramics, and placed them on the coffee table safely, "Designer Shi, what you want."
"Thank you."
Shi Yunnan curled his lips and signaled the assistant to step back with his eyes.
The door of the waiting room was re-closed.
Ning De'an was fascinated when he saw the lifelike white porcelain carvings in the box, "The real thing is more charming than the picture."
Shi Yunnan let him touch and admire, and took the initiative to introduce, "This is white porcelain produced in Dehua County, Huaguo. Compared with other types of porcelain, their biggest feature is that the glaze color is pure and the gloss is extremely high."
Ning De'an praised, "I looked at the carvings on it, and they are even more exquisite than the black porcelain carvings I saw in the exhibition hall last time."
"Mr. Ning does not know that Dehua County is famous for carving Buddha statues and Guanyin statues with white porcelain. The craftsmanship of the masters has been honed year after year, and it cannot be compared with machine-made embryo processing."
The large sculptures of Guanyin can be lifelike, not to mention the small sculptures of animals used to practice hands.
Shi Yunnan took out several custom-made white porcelain pendants and white porcelain plates, and began to get to the point, "Mr. Ning, I have investigated before, and it is not like there are no similar ornaments in foreign countries."
Although ceramics are the representative of Huaguo, they have always been loved by a large number of audiences overseas, but the ceramics sold overseas are either immature in skills or the selling price is too high.
Therefore, it is difficult to have a large space for expansion in overseas markets.
"Mr. Shi, I understand what you mean." Ning De'an touched the white porcelain carving pendant in his hand, and said truthfully, "My job is not a pottery merchant, and doing business is not charity."
Overseas markets are scattered, which means that the source of customers is scattered.
Made in Huaguo and sold overseas, it represents the unavoidable transportation costs.
If the income is small and the income is large, if the core interests in the middle cannot be guaranteed, then the deal will die sooner or later.
Shi Yunnan took out the proposal from the bottom of the box and handed it to Ning Dean, "This is the answer given by me and my investment partner."
"I have a way to solve the problem of transportation costs and try to get the lowest price."
"As for the source of customers, the establishment of a brand official website to attract customers requires initial marketing and publicity. The cheap sales of daily small items are only superficial. The key to profitability is the unified customization of large quantities and private advanced customization..."
Shi Yunnan spoke unhurriedly, without the slightest hint of 'rushing for success'.
For him, design is the first career, and this improvised overseas ceramics market is just a way to assist in making profits——
If Ning Dean is willing to join, then their studio will have one more money-making channel;
If Ning De'an chooses to refuse, either they will find other overseas businessmen to try again, or they will simply give up without wasting extra energy.
"Mr. Shi, please give me a little more time to think about it."
After reading the proposal, Ning De'an was vaguely moved.
After he took over the family business, he held a lot of assets in his hands, and relying on his connections, he could also establish the 'market system' that Shi Yunnan said.
In fact, Ning De'an has always remembered his grandfather's wish during his lifetime——
As a native of Huaguo, the old man has always held fast to his love for his homeland. He wants more people to drink the tea produced in Huaguo, display the porcelain made in Huaguo, and learn about this magnificent China and its illustrious civilization.
The big wish may be difficult to fulfill, but one of the small wishes, Ning De'an is willing to realize and fulfill as much as possible with money and energy.
"Of course, Mr. Ning can give me an answer anytime." Shi Yunnan readily agreed.
Once this cooperation is reached, Ning De'an will be the 'big head' who will pay the money. Their studio can at most be regarded as a 'middleman' of a partnership, and the other party will naturally have to consider it carefully.
The two chatted for a while, and around noon, Shi Yunnan, as the host, invited Ning De'an to have a meal.
After lunch, Ning De'an returned to the hotel with the proposal and white porcelain.
...
Shi Yunnan felt his heartstrings tense after finishing his business, and finally received Fu Ziyu's invitation to drink after a long absence.
After thinking about it, he still sent a 'report message' to Luo Lingsheng before heading to his destination.
Although it is said that DOLLClub is funded by Shi Yunnan, since the nightclub was established and operated, Shi Yunnan, the 'hands-off shopkeeper', has taken off.
However, his good friend Fu Zi values friendship and doesn't care who pays more and who pays less, and transfers the profit share to his account on time every quarter.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and even the waiters in the store were not on duty yet.
"Yunnan, you go upstairs first." Fu Ziyu reported a booth number, "I'll go to the counter to get some wine."
Shi Yunnan nodded, he never expected to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure just as he went upstairs, "Yuan Rui? Why are you here? Didn't you say you can rest at home?"
I haven't seen him for half a month, and the blood on my friend's face finally recovered a lot.
"I!"
Yuan Rui spoke loudly, but stopped abruptly.
He got up and approached Shi Yunnan, quickly wrapped his arms around his shoulder and whispered, "Yunnan, what are you doing?"
"Ok?"
"I, I asked you to temporarily hire an assistant to take over my job..." Yuan Rui hesitated to speak, with an indescribably complicated expression, "How did you get Lu Zhao'an back?"
"I didn't find it. He applied for the job through his own ability." Shi Yunnan replied naturally, and asked, "He has been employed for almost half a month, and you are only now coming to me to express your dissatisfaction?"
"Are you really dissatisfied? Or did he do something to you to embarrass you?"
Facing his friends who eat Tsundere as a meal, Shi Yunnan's teasing comes as soon as he says it.
"..."
Yuan Rui didn't speak, but his ears and neck were faintly stained with crimson.
It was rare for Shi Yunnan to be gossipy, so he asked sharply, "Have you explained the misunderstanding between the two of you clearly?"
"Ben, there was no misunderstanding." Yuan Rui sat back on his seat and took a sip of water guiltily.
"Really? Then I'll change it." Shi Yunnan sat opposite him and continued to ask, "Are you two together?"
"--puff!"
Yuan Rui spit out a mouthful of water unexpectedly, and then choked so hard that his whole face flushed from coughing.
"..."
Shi Yunnan, who was about to be baptized by saliva, moved his seat in disgust, and sat next to Yuan Rui, "This flustered with just one sentence? It seems that it hasn't happened yet, but it's almost done."
Yuan Rui wiped the water stains with a paper towel, but didn't answer.
Shi Yunnan stopped joking and said seriously, "Yuan Rui, it's been so long, you should see clearly what's going on in your heart?"
"The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. I can clearly see your thoughts on Lu Zhao'an."
"I……"
Shi Yunnan was afraid of embarrassing his friend, so he added, "Even if I guessed your thoughts wrongly, then you wanted to work side by side with Lu Zhao'an in the first place, I guess I was right, right?"
"At first, Lu Zhao'an was afraid that you would be pressured and unwilling, so he gave up everything on his own initiative and ran to Dehua County to hide for so long. Now that he is willing to come back to help, can I keep him for you?"
"I just haven't figured it out yet." Yuan Rui squeezed the cup unconsciously, "...I don't think I'm qualified enough."
Shi Yunnan suddenly understood.
My friend has been oppressed since he was a child and has no self-confidence. When facing a senior brother who thinks he is particularly good, his shrinking back cannot be changed overnight.
"Don't always doubt yourself. In my eyes, the current Yuan Rui is not the Yuan Rui of a year ago."
It's so calm that it's not even a comforting word, but it's a big approval when it falls into Yuan Rui's ears.
His eyes were red, and he looked away in embarrassment.
"Aren't you going to cry again? Little crying bag."
"Stop it."
Yuan Rui adjusted his mood and held back his tears.
As soon as the words were finished, Fu Ziyu came up with a bag of wine, "Yunnan, I finally got the chance to ask you for a drink. Yuan Rui's milk baby can't hold alcohol, and I lose energy every time I drink with him."
"Little crying bag for a while, milk doll for a while, the two of you are trying to make fun of me, right?"
In order to prove himself, Yuan Rui took the initiative to pour spirits into the glass, but Fu Ziyu stopped him before the entrance, "My dear son, don't make trouble, drink this."
With that said, Fu Ziyu handed him the beer that he had specially brought up.
Yuan Rui gritted his teeth reluctantly.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yunnan laughed, "You often drink together? When did the relationship become so good?"
Fu Ziyu and Shi Yunnan met their gazes, joking on purpose, "Can the relationship be bad? I've already become the 'boyfriend' that Yuan Rui said, haven't I?"
"--puff."
Yuan Rui choked on beer again.
Shi Yunnan's eyes changed, "Boyfriend?"
"Didn't you entrust me to cook soup to take care of him some time ago? I have the right to raise my son with good intentions."
Fu Ziyu opened his mouth and complained, "But there are some milk babies, in order to avoid his senior brother, all kinds of messy relationships are drawn on me."
"Cough cough!"
Yuan Rui sounded a reminder.
Fu Ziyu ignored it, "Yunnan, you don't know, I have somehow become a rival in love in the eyes of others, and I almost couldn't see the sun the next day."
Yuan Rui retorted with flushed cheeks, "How can you say so exaggeratedly! The situation was urgent at that time, I regarded you as a brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
"That won't work, I will treat you as my son."
Hearing the bickering between the two, Shi Yunnan suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud.
Fu Ziyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yunnan laughed and said, "I just remembered that Luo Lingsheng also misunderstood my relationship with you before."
"..."
Inexplicably, Fu Ziyu, who became a professional 'rival in love', got stuck, and asked meaningfully after a few seconds, "How are you and Luo Lingsheng?"
He still remembered what his friend mentioned at the beginning—"Luo Lingsheng and I just got married by agreement."
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand very deliberately, "Thank you for your concern, the relationship is getting warmer every day."
"Stop showing off."
"Take back your ostentatious hand, please."
Yuan Rui and Fu Ziyu felt blind at the same time, and raised their glasses to clink each other.
Shi Yunnan accepted it as soon as he saw it, took the opportunity to raise his glass and bumped it, and changed the topic with a smile.
The three drank and chatted.
Until the nightclub reached its regular business hours, customers came in one after another for consumption.
Shi Yunnan looked at the time on the phone, and accepted it as soon as it was ready, "I'll withdraw first, the two of you continue chatting."
"Why did you leave?"
"It's only six o'clock."
The friends stopped him one after the other.
Shi Yunnan picked up the phone, and there was a WeChat message sent 5 minutes ago, "No, Luo Lingsheng and I agreed to drink until this point, and now we are going home."
What seems to be an understatement, the actual dog food is doubled down.
Fu Ziyu shook his head, feeling extremely sad, "Son, you have changed."
Yuan Rui, who was a little drunk, echoed, "...Son, you have changed."
Shi Yunnan snorted, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, but you are at home in a nightclub, it's because you don't understand the joy of being married."
"Yuan Rui, do you want to hit someone?"
"I want to, but I can't beat him."
Shi Yunnan didn't pay any attention to the cross talk with his friends, and left as soon as he said it.
...
It's not completely dark outside yet.
After leaving the nightclub, Shi Yunnan noticed the familiar license plate with sharp eyes, and quickly approached and got into the car.
As soon as the car door was closed, Shi Yunnan leaned over to Luo Lingsheng's side, kissed the corner of his lover's cool lips, "Waiting for a long time?"
"No, just for a while."
After Luo Lingsheng instructed Yuan Meng in the front row to drive home, he pulled down the partitions used to cover the front and rear rows.
He sideways helped Shi Yunnan fasten his seat belt, caught the faint drunkenness in his lover's eyes, reached out and stroked his neck, "How much wine have you drunk? Is your neck a little red and hot?"
"I promised you, I restrained myself from getting drunk."
Shi Yunnan leaned over to chat with Luo Lingsheng, with an obvious smile, "I'm not right now, I can't get drunk after drinking such a little wine."
"Really?"
Luo Lingsheng's hand went around his lips, rubbing his slightly rough fingertips once and again.
Shi Yunnan suddenly had a bad intention to suck it, and bit it with the tip of his teeth.
Luo Lingsheng's eyes darkened in an instant, and there was a little lust in his voice, "Don't make trouble now."
Shi Yunnan let go of his fingers, and approached him for a kiss without hesitation, "Honey, I remember what I have to do tonight."
"Ok?"
A kiss with a touch of wine smelled on it.
There is still a hint of sweetness mixed between the lips and teeth, it is the taste of fruit candy that Shi Yunnan always keeps.
The two separated slightly, but their breaths were still intertwined.
"Now I've had some wine, and I'm a little drunk..." Shi Yunnan's eyes were full of sultry redness, "For tonight, it's just to add to the fun."

Wen Yibei couldn't see his younger brother's mood, so he stretched out his hand to caress his frowning brows, "Okay, don't be annoyed by people who have passed away."
"I just think it's ridiculous. Have they cared about me even once in these years? Now they are saying confession in front of you and me one by one? Say guilt? What did you do 20 years ago?"
"Just relying on a will and a little money now, do you want us two brothers to get involved with the Shi family again?"

"No need, I came by car myself." Wen Yibei refused gently, he didn't want to delay his younger brother's important work.
"You were originally called by me temporarily, so hurry back and drive carefully on the road."
Shi Yunnan nodded and returned to the car, opened the window and responded, "Brother, you should also drive carefully, and call again on the weekend."
"it is good."
Shi Yunnan didn't say any more, started the car and drove away.
Ling'an Funeral Home and Jade Market are in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, Shi Yunnan arrived at the design studio.
The assistant he recruited came up immediately, "Designer Shi, that gentleman called and said he came to see you. After I contacted you, I asked him to wait in the reception room."
"understood."
Shi Yunnan walked in, saw Lu Zhaoan's empty office, and asked casually, "Is the person in charge Lu out?"

Since Lu Zhaoan came back, everything has been going smoothly.
Shi Yunnan nodded, stopped in front of the reception room and asked, "There is a box of white jade ceramic carvings on the cabinet in my office, go and get them now."
"Ok."

Shi Yunnan adjusted his clothes slightly, and calmly pushed the door open.
In the reception room with a simple layout but without losing the artistic beauty, there is a foreign man sitting right now——

Shi Yunnan took out several custom-made white porcelain pendants and white porcelain plates, and began to get to the point, "Mr. Ning, I have investigated before, and it is not like there are no similar ornaments in foreign countries."
Although ceramics are the representative of Huaguo, they have always been loved by a large number of audiences overseas, but the ceramics sold overseas are either immature in skills or the selling price is too high.
Therefore, it is difficult to have a large space for expansion in overseas markets.
"Mr. Shi, I understand what you mean." Ning De'an touched the white porcelain carving pendant in his hand, and said truthfully, "My job is not a pottery merchant, and doing business is not charity."
Overseas markets are scattered, which means that the source of customers is scattered.
Made in Huaguo and sold overseas, it represents the unavoidable transportation costs.
If the income is small and the income is large, if the core interests in the middle cannot be guaranteed, then the deal will die sooner or later.
Shi Yunnan took out the proposal from the bottom of the box and handed it to Ning Dean, "This is the answer given by me and my investment partner."
"I have a way to solve the problem of transportation costs and try to get the lowest price."
"As for the source of customers, the establishment of a brand official website to attract customers requires initial marketing and publicity. The cheap sales of daily small items are only superficial. The key to profitability is the unified customization of large quantities and private advanced customization..."
Shi Yunnan spoke unhurriedly, without the slightest hint of 'rushing for success'.
For him, design is the first career, and this improvised overseas ceramics market is just a way to assist in making profits——
If Ning Dean is willing to join, then their studio will have one more money-making channel;
If Ning De'an chooses to refuse, either they will find other overseas businessmen to try again, or they will simply give up without wasting extra energy.
"Mr. Shi, please give me a little more time to think about it."
After reading the proposal, Ning De'an was vaguely moved.
After he took over the family business, he held a lot of assets in his hands, and relying on his connections, he could also establish the 'market system' that Shi Yunnan said.
In fact, Ning De'an has always remembered his grandfather's wish during his lifetime——
As a native of Huaguo, the old man has always held fast to his love for his homeland. He wants more people to drink the tea produced in Huaguo, display the porcelain made in Huaguo, and learn about this magnificent China and its illustrious civilization.
The big wish may be difficult to fulfill, but one of the small wishes, Ning De'an is willing to realize and fulfill as much as possible with money and energy.
"Of course, Mr. Ning can give me an answer anytime." Shi Yunnan readily agreed.
Once this cooperation is reached, Ning De'an will be the 'big head' who will pay the money. Their studio can at most be regarded as a 'middleman' of a partnership, and the other party will naturally have to consider it carefully.
The two chatted for a while, and around noon, Shi Yunnan, as the host, invited Ning De'an to have a meal.
After lunch, Ning De'an returned to the hotel with the proposal and white porcelain.
...
Shi Yunnan felt his heartstrings tense after finishing his business, and finally received Fu Ziyu's invitation to drink after a long absence.
After thinking about it, he still sent a 'report message' to Luo Lingsheng before heading to his destination.
Although it is said that DOLLClub is funded by Shi Yunnan, since the nightclub was established and operated, Shi Yunnan, the 'hands-off shopkeeper', has taken off.
However, his good friend Fu Zi values friendship and doesn't care who pays more and who pays less, and transfers the profit share to his account on time every quarter.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and even the waiters in the store were not on duty yet.
"Yunnan, you go upstairs first." Fu Ziyu reported a booth number, "I'll go to the counter to get some wine."
Shi Yunnan nodded, he never expected to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure just as he went upstairs, "Yuan Rui? Why are you here? Didn't you say you can rest at home?"
I haven't seen him for half a month, and the blood on my friend's face finally recovered a lot.
"I!"
Yuan Rui spoke loudly, but stopped abruptly.
He got up and approached Shi Yunnan, quickly wrapped his arms around his shoulder and whispered, "Yunnan, what are you doing?"
"Ok?"
"I, I asked you to temporarily hire an assistant to take over my job..." Yuan Rui hesitated to speak, with an indescribably complicated expression, "How did you get Lu Zhao'an back?"
"I didn't find it. He applied for the job through his own ability." Shi Yunnan replied naturally, and asked, "He has been employed for almost half a month, and you are only now coming to me to express your dissatisfaction?"
"Are you really dissatisfied? Or did he do something to you to embarrass you?"
Facing his friends who eat Tsundere as a meal, Shi Yunnan's teasing comes as soon as he says it.
"..."
Yuan Rui didn't speak, but his ears and neck were faintly stained with crimson.
It was rare for Shi Yunnan to be gossipy, so he asked sharply, "Have you explained the misunderstanding between the two of you clearly?"
"Ben, there was no misunderstanding." Yuan Rui sat back on his seat and took a sip of water guiltily.
"Really? Then I'll change it." Shi Yunnan sat opposite him and continued to ask, "Are you two together?"
"--puff!"
Yuan Rui spit out a mouthful of water unexpectedly, and then choked so hard that his whole face flushed from coughing.
"..."
Shi Yunnan, who was about to be baptized by saliva, moved his seat in disgust, and sat next to Yuan Rui, "This flustered with just one sentence? It seems that it hasn't happened yet, but it's almost done."
Yuan Rui wiped the water stains with a paper towel, but didn't answer.
Shi Yunnan stopped joking and said seriously, "Yuan Rui, it's been so long, you should see clearly what's going on in your heart?"
"The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. I can clearly see your thoughts on Lu Zhao'an."
"I……"
Shi Yunnan was afraid of embarrassing his friend, so he added, "Even if I guessed your thoughts wrongly, then you wanted to work side by side with Lu Zhao'an in the first place, I guess I was right, right?"
"At first, Lu Zhao'an was afraid that you would be pressured and unwilling, so he gave up everything on his own initiative and ran to Dehua County to hide for so long. Now that he is willing to come back to help, can I keep him for you?"
"I just haven't figured it out yet." Yuan Rui squeezed the cup unconsciously, "...I don't think I'm qualified enough."
Shi Yunnan suddenly understood.
My friend has been oppressed since he was a child and has no self-confidence. When facing a senior brother who thinks he is particularly good, his shrinking back cannot be changed overnight.
"Don't always doubt yourself. In my eyes, the current Yuan Rui is not the Yuan Rui of a year ago."
It's so calm that it's not even a comforting word, but it's a big approval when it falls into Yuan Rui's ears.
His eyes were red, and he looked away in embarrassment.
"Aren't you going to cry again? Little crying bag."
"Stop it."
Yuan Rui adjusted his mood and held back his tears.
As soon as the words were finished, Fu Ziyu came up with a bag of wine, "Yunnan, I finally got the chance to ask you for a drink. Yuan Rui's milk baby can't hold alcohol, and I lose energy every time I drink with him."
"Little crying bag for a while, milk doll for a while, the two of you are trying to make fun of me, right?"
In order to prove himself, Yuan Rui took the initiative to pour spirits into the glass, but Fu Ziyu stopped him before the entrance, "My dear son, don't make trouble, drink this."
With that said, Fu Ziyu handed him the beer that he had specially brought up.
Yuan Rui gritted his teeth reluctantly.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yunnan laughed, "You often drink together? When did the relationship become so good?"
Fu Ziyu and Shi Yunnan met their gazes, joking on purpose, "Can the relationship be bad? I've already become the 'boyfriend' that Yuan Rui said, haven't I?"
"--puff."
Yuan Rui choked on beer again.
Shi Yunnan's eyes changed, "Boyfriend?"
"Didn't you entrust me to cook soup to take care of him some time ago? I have the right to raise my son with good intentions."
Fu Ziyu opened his mouth and complained, "But there are some milk babies, in order to avoid his senior brother, all kinds of messy relationships are drawn on me."
"Cough cough!"
Yuan Rui sounded a reminder.
Fu Ziyu ignored it, "Yunnan, you don't know, I have somehow become a rival in love in the eyes of others, and I almost couldn't see the sun the next day."
Yuan Rui retorted with flushed cheeks, "How can you say so exaggeratedly! The situation was urgent at that time, I regarded you as a brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
"That won't work, I will treat you as my son."
Hearing the bickering between the two, Shi Yunnan suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud.
Fu Ziyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yunnan laughed and said, "I just remembered that Luo Lingsheng also misunderstood my relationship with you before."
"..."
Inexplicably, Fu Ziyu, who became a professional 'rival in love', got stuck, and asked meaningfully after a few seconds, "How are you and Luo Lingsheng?"
He still remembered what his friend mentioned at the beginning—"Luo Lingsheng and I just got married by agreement."
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand very deliberately, "Thank you for your concern, the relationship is getting warmer every day."
"Stop showing off."
"Take back your ostentatious hand, please."
Yuan Rui and Fu Ziyu felt blind at the same time, and raised their glasses to clink each other.
Shi Yunnan accepted it as soon as he saw it, took the opportunity to raise his glass and bumped it, and changed the topic with a smile.
The three drank and chatted.
Until the nightclub reached its regular business hours, customers came in one after another for consumption.
Shi Yunnan looked at the time on the phone, and accepted it as soon as it was ready, "I'll withdraw first, the two of you continue chatting."
"Why did you leave?"
"It's only six o'clock."
The friends stopped him one after the other.
Shi Yunnan picked up the phone, and there was a WeChat message sent 5 minutes ago, "No, Luo Lingsheng and I agreed to drink until this point, and now we are going home."
What seems to be an understatement, the actual dog food is doubled down.
Fu Ziyu shook his head, feeling extremely sad, "Son, you have changed."
Yuan Rui, who was a little drunk, echoed, "...Son, you have changed."
Shi Yunnan snorted, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, but you are at home in a nightclub, it's because you don't understand the joy of being married."
"Yuan Rui, do you want to hit someone?"
"I want to, but I can't beat him."
Shi Yunnan didn't pay any attention to the cross talk with his friends, and left as soon as he said it.
...
It's not completely dark outside yet.
After leaving the nightclub, Shi Yunnan noticed the familiar license plate with sharp eyes, and quickly approached and got into the car.
As soon as the car door was closed, Shi Yunnan leaned over to Luo Lingsheng's side, kissed the corner of his lover's cool lips, "Waiting for a long time?"
"No, just for a while."
After Luo Lingsheng instructed Yuan Meng in the front row to drive home, he pulled down the partitions used to cover the front and rear rows.
He sideways helped Shi Yunnan fasten his seat belt, caught the faint drunkenness in his lover's eyes, reached out and stroked his neck, "How much wine have you drunk? Is your neck a little red and hot?"
"I promised you, I restrained myself from getting drunk."
Shi Yunnan leaned over to chat with Luo Lingsheng, with an obvious smile, "I'm not right now, I can't get drunk after drinking such a little wine."
"Really?"
Luo Lingsheng's hand went around his lips, rubbing his slightly rough fingertips once and again.
Shi Yunnan suddenly had a bad intention to suck it, and bit it with the tip of his teeth.
Luo Lingsheng's eyes darkened in an instant, and there was a little lust in his voice, "Don't make trouble now."
Shi Yunnan let go of his fingers, and approached him for a kiss without hesitation, "Honey, I remember what I have to do tonight."
"Ok?"
A kiss with a touch of wine smelled on it.
There is still a hint of sweetness mixed between the lips and teeth, it is the taste of fruit candy that Shi Yunnan always keeps.
The two separated slightly, but their breaths were still intertwined.
"Now I've had some wine, and I'm a little drunk..." Shi Yunnan's eyes were full of sultry redness, "For tonight, it's just to add to the fun."
