unruly

At that time, the surrounding environment was noisy, and the flickering lights overlapped sluggishly. There was a little less light here, and it looked drowsy and depressed.That kind of action was too abrupt, but not blunt, calm and natural, revealing that it should be taken for granted.

Ming Shu didn't stop it, nor did he have time to stop it.

The decoration of the bar is a bit ascetic, and the bar countertop is made of Pasco gray marble. Except for a little gray stain, the hot cigarette butts did not leave any unnecessary marks on the marble.

The extinguished cigarette was thrown to the ground, where it landed next to the bar stool.

Ning Zhi didn't give an explanation, as if he just did a very normal thing, and it's not worth worrying about too much.There was a box of paper not far away, and she could get it by raising her arm. She took a sheet out of it, wiped her fingers calmly, and asked casually, "What about you, what are you doing here, waiting for a friend?"

Ming Shu didn't care about it, she didn't feel anything about it, so she wouldn't be angry.

After all, it is outside, maybe the other party is not used to the smell, so you still have to take care of others.

"No, I'm not waiting for anyone." Ming Shu said, leaning his left arm on the bar, and turned slightly towards the other party, "I also come here for a drink when I have free time. I don't have much work tonight, so I can relax."

Throwing away the paper, Ning Zhi bent his knees, lifted his long white legs that had nowhere to rest, and his toes were about to touch the counter, but it was almost a little away.Tonight, she had her head tied up in a half ball, half of her hair was tied into a messy ball, and the other half was let down. There were still a few random strands of curly hair on her forehead, exuding a decadent smell, faintly unique. Temperament, unlike others.

"I haven't seen you in the past two days," Ning Zhi said, looking up at the cabinets full of various wines in front of him, "working overtime again?"

"No, I stayed home for a day, so it's considered a vacation..." Ming Shu replied, thinking about it and then changed his words, "Half vacation, didn't go to the store, and handled some work online."

If you don't talk about the details, you won't reveal your secrets. It doesn't matter if you say a few words. Ming Shu restrained his emotions, suppressed all the past events that had just surfaced in his mind, and didn't show them.She noticed that the little ghost's dress was different from usual, and his style was not so exaggerated. He looked like he had gone out to do something important, and then asked, "From school?"

Ning Zhi hummed, "Go back to the dormitory to pick up things, and have a meeting in the afternoon."

Mingshu nodded, "Preparation for the match?"

"The proposed business plan will be used next month." Ning Zhi said, giving a completely irrelevant answer.

Thinking it was just some kind of campus competition, Mingshu said casually, "Group assignment?"

Universities generally do not have holiday homework, which is very different from middle schools, but various activities and group assignments are very common, especially in the third and fourth stages of the junior year. The school always likes to issue some messy tasks that are closely linked to credits. On the face of it, it is a free choice, but in fact most people have to be forced to participate.Ming Shu also came from that period. Although he had been away from campus life for several years, he still remembered some operations, so he preconceived them.

However, the person in front of him denied it and said, "I have accepted an outsourcing project."

This answer was so serious that Mingshu didn't expect it.From Mingshu's cognition and shallow impression of this person, Ning Zhi doesn't seem to be able to do this. What kind of level can a college student start an outsourcing project? The heirs of the group should be looked down upon.Besides, Ning Zhi is not the kind of gregarious classmate, doing this kind of group work is not like her style.

But it's just that she has such thoughts in her heart, Ming Shu wouldn't say that, she asked a few more questions.

"A project for a local company?"

Ning Zhi said: "It is."

Ming Shu leaned over a bit, "Which company?"

The other party didn't hide it, told them all, and gave a name they had never heard of.

It was a small company that had just been established, and its scale was not large. It mainly engaged in entertainment-related industries, and to a certain extent, it was also the nature of a studio.The owner of the small company is Ning Zhi's childhood friend and best friend, a boy who is two years older than her, a rich second-generation returnee, and they are all friends with Li Linze and Fang Yujing. When they returned to the country at the beginning of the year, they started to stand on their own as soon as they arrived in Z City. portal.

Ning Zhi invested money in that company, but the amount was not much, it was just a matter of making up the number, this time the help was also incidental, on the one hand, it was to add credits, on the other hand, he was too idle and had nothing to do, so he needed to find some work to pass the time .

This group of people’s native families are all good, and they have the capital to test the waters. They don’t need to ask their families for money. Raising the original capital is a breeze, and they can spend it by themselves.

Ming Shu listened, and said: "That's pretty good, I guess it's not bad."

In essence, they are two people who don't have much to do with each other. They have only met a few times after a meal, and they still have nothing to talk about. They are talking about irrelevant topics.

With an age difference of eight years, Mingshu didn't treat Ning Zhi as a serious adult. In her eyes, the kid was still a child who hadn't left school, and he was too far behind her, so the conversation became even more serious. Most of them followed the other party's words, and didn't put Ning Zhi on the same height.

Probably aware of the subtle difference, Ning Zhi turned his head and glanced elsewhere, and stopped talking, lacking in interest.

Ming Shu didn't notice it, and felt that the child had that kind of temper, and her personality was as frizzy as her hair, so she didn't want to talk about it in depth, and didn't like being spied on too much, so she decided not to talk about it.

A bartender first brought Ning Zhi's wine, a golden martini, and a small plate of dried fruit.

Mingshu also had a share, and there was also a small plate of food.She only gave it for her sake. After all, she is a friend of the boss, a familiar face.

The previous bartender was still making whiskey water cuts, struggling to stir the old ice cubes. When he was free from work, he would talk to Mingshu and chat casually.

The bartender didn't speak loudly, he stood in front of Mingshu and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Ming Shu nodded, "Live in one place, neighbor."

The bartender smiled, then greeted Ning Zhi, and said, "We've met three times already. I was on shift with Li Linze last time, and you were here too."

Facing unfamiliar people, Ning Zhi's attitude changed, he was lukewarm, unable to utter a word, and only nodded in response.

The bartender is extroverted, careless and heartless, and doesn't mind so much. Not only does he not care about it, he even raises the corners of his mouth and asks the two of them if they want to eat something else, and he pays for the treat.

Ming Shu got along well with the bartender, and it was not easy to take advantage of him, so he ordered an extra glass of iced lemonade and drank it first.

On the stage a few meters away, the resident band is performing slow-paced tunes, original songs, and smooth melodies.

When the wine was served, Ming Shu listened to the nursery rhyme for a while.

Lao Cao signed a new band, not the last one.She turned around and asked the bartender why she changed to another band and where did the previous band go.The bartender is not very clear, the original one seems to be disbanded or something, anyway, it suddenly stopped coming.

Ming Shu regretted it, and admired that band.

"It wasn't our local band in the first place, but a temporary team." The bartender said, "I heard that the lead singer and drummer formed a new team and went to West City."

Ming Shu asked, "What's the name of the new team?"

The bartender thought for a moment, then replied uncertainly: "Hmm... what train is it? A slow train? It seems to be this."

Ning Zhi didn't participate in the conversation, and was not interested at all. He took out his phone and looked at it, and left for a while.

He didn't take a sip of the martini, didn't move at all.

His eyes followed her back until he disappeared into the crowd.Ming Shu touched the cold glass wall with his fingertips, then slowly lowered his head and took a sip of the wine.

Ning Zhi didn't leave, but came back ten minutes later.

Ming Shu didn't ask what he was doing, pushed the snack plate aside, and said in a gentle voice, "I left it for you."

It was early morning when we left the corner of the alley, and the two went out together.

Since they were all drunk, they couldn't drive, so they had to call a substitute driver temporarily.

Ning Zhi didn't drive out, Ming Shu let him sit in his own car, and went to the back seat to rest together, waiting for the driver who took the order to come.

There is not much space in the car, the lights are not turned on, and the atmosphere is dull.

Opening the car window, Mingshu closed his eyes and lay down for two to three minutes.The wind on the side of the road at night is full of heat, which adds to the dryness when it blows into the car.

It may be that they are both uncomfortable, and neither party speaks.

There was a street lamp in the car, and the light yellow beam fell and fell into the window, which happened to illuminate their parts.Body.

Ning Zhi was looking at his phone and turned the screen brightness to the lowest.

In the WeChat group, Li Linze and the others swipe the screen to chat, and Fang Yujing keeps asking @宁知, "Where is he, are you still here?"

Ning Zhi didn't respond, and was almost near Yulin Garden, so he typed and replied: "I have something to do, I won't go."

Fang Yujing sent out a series of question marks: "?????"

Fang Yujing: "What's the matter?"

Li Linze also asked: "What happened? Why didn't you come again?"

Ning Zhi had no expression on his face, and moved his fingertips lightly: "Another day, it's off."

I don't know what this person is doing, Ming Shu has been brewing for a long time, and while the alcohol is still there, he suddenly said something intentionally or unintentionally: "I am going on a business trip next week, to the Taklamakan Desert, and I have a shooting mission."

Ning Zhi put away the phone and glanced this way.

Mingshu continued: "Actually, it's not a task. It should be a private cooperation, helping a friend to make exhibition materials, and later he will help my brand to promote."

"The shooting time is not long, at most a week, and it will be over in three or four days." She changed the topic and looked at the other party seriously in the dim light, "But we still lack people, we have selected a few rounds, and there is still one There is a vacancy, and no suitable model has been found. Personally, I feel...this shoot is very suitable for your style."

The car was extremely quiet, and Ning Zhi didn't respond.

Mingshu leaned back, looked up wearily, and didn't force the man to give an answer, just said: "It's not a commercial shoot, and it won't be used to make money. If you want, you can go there with me." Look, it doesn't matter if you shoot or not. It doesn't matter if you don't shoot, just treat it as going out to relax."

As if he didn't hear it, Ning Zhi was still reticent, and it took a long time before he spoke: "So?"

Ming Shu didn't make it clear, "As you wish."

The other party refused flatly: "No."

With such a ruthless attitude, Ming Shu was not annoyed, "Anyway, it's up to you, you are the master."

Then he closed his eyes again, Wen Tuntian said: "You can go if you want to go in a couple of days, I'll be here anytime."
