"Is Mr. Liu still married?" Fu Nian turned to look at Gao Lingxuan.
"Sister Liu was married once and is currently single. She is a strong woman just like Sister Jiang." Gao Lingxuan said with a smile, "It can be seen that Sister Liu admires President Rong very much."
Fu Nian didn't speak, and when he looked at the two people who were walking over, he felt an eyesore.
Liu Hualing paused, turned her head to look at Rong Xi, and said with a smile, "I had a great chat with Mr. Rong tonight. If you have time, can Mr. Rong do you a favor and let's have a meal together?"
Rong Xi smiled slightly and said, "There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, so there is no rush."
Liu Hualing smiled even more when she heard the words, and said: "Mr. Rong is right, it's too late today, let's make an appointment another day."
"Okay, let's make an appointment another day."
Gao Lingxuan got up and walked towards Liu Hualing, looked at Rongxi, and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Rong for your hospitality today. I like the tea made by Fu Nian very much."
Liu Hualing asked with interest: "Who made the tea?"
"It's Fu Nian." Gao Lingxuan turned to look at Fu Nian.
Liu Hualing followed suit, nodded to Fu Nian with a smile, and said, "The tea is really good, even I, who doesn't usually drink milk tea, finished it unconsciously."
Fu Nian smiled politely and said, "As long as Mr. Liu likes it."
Several people said a few more polite words, Liu Hualing and Gao Lingxuan did not stay any longer, and left the villa.
After sending the two away, Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian and asked, "How is it going? Is there any progress?"
Fu Nian and Rong Xi looked at each other, and asked without answering, "Mr. Rong, is it because of me that you cooperated with Gao Lingxuan again?"
Rong Xi raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "If I say yes, what are you going to do?"
Fu Nian was startled, looked at Rongxi but didn't know what to say, and immediately regretted asking this question.
Rong Xi naturally understood Fu Nian's entanglement. Although he was a little disappointed, he also understood and said, "You think too much. I cooperated with them based on the interests of the company, and I just helped you by the way."
What Rong Xi said made Fu Nian even more moved. He suddenly remembered the scene of Rong Xi and Liu Hualing going downstairs together just now, and it was a bit uncomfortable. He said casually: "I heard from Gao Lingxuan that Mr. Liu was married before. It can't be seen that her skin and figure are well maintained."
"Is she pretty?" The smile on the corner of Rongxi's mouth disappeared.
Fu Nian noticed that Rongxi's tone was wrong, and said in a timely manner, "It's not pretty, I can only say that it has a good temperament and looks more charming."
"Then do you like it?" Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian with burning eyes.
"No, I don't like it." Fu Nian looked uncomfortable and looked away.
Rong Xi smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm hungry."
Fu Nian was stunned for a moment, then said, "What would Mr. Rong want to eat?"
"I want to eat...meat."
When Rong Xi said this, his eyes were fixed on Fu Nian, so that Fu Nian's face was burning hot.He said uncomfortably, "Then I'll fry steak for Mr. Rong."
Seeing Fu Nian run away, the smile in Rongxi's eyes grew stronger. Looking at his reaction, Rongxi could feel that Fu Nian had feelings for him, but he just couldn't accept it for a while and escaped.What he has to do now is to let Fu Nian face up to his heart and accept him slowly.Judging from the current progress, one year is more than enough time.
Fu Nian hid in the kitchen, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help cursing himself for being useless, he didn't say anything, just let him run away with just one look, and claimed Is a 'rogue', not as good as a girl.
Fu Nian took out the steak from the refrigerator, marinated it with seasonings, put it aside to taste, then took out the tomatoes and meat sauce, and made two servings of pasta. When the plates were ready, he remembered that there were three people in the villa .
Fu Nian turned around and left the kitchen, looking for Zhang Yan and the others to ask if they wanted to have a late-night snack, but they couldn't find anyone after wandering around.
Rong Xi came down from upstairs after taking a shower, saw Fu Nian wandering in the living room, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Fu Nian looked up at Rongxi. Because of the bath, his face was still damp. Under the light, his sharp features softened a lot.The water droplets on the tips of his hair were crystal clear, flowing down his cheeks, over his jaw, over his neck and Adam's apple, and into his cotton pajamas.
It was just a drop of water, which made Fu Nian's mouth dry. He hurriedly looked away and said, "Mr. Rong, have you seen Brother Zhang and the others?"
Rong Xi's eyes flickered, and he said, "It's late, they should go back to their room to rest."
"So early?" Fu Nian looked up at the clock and said, "Forget it, then I won't ask them. I fried the steak and made pasta, so I'll serve it up."
Fu Nian turned around and went into the kitchen, brought out the food, and said, "Just now I forgot to ask Mr. Rong how ripe his steak is, so I made it well-done. Mr. Rong taste it to see if it suits your taste."
Rong Xi picked up the knife and fork, carefully cut the steak into small pieces, kept half for himself, and gave the other half to Fu Nian, saying, "It's not easy to eat too much for supper."
Fu Nian unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Rong is right."
Rong Xi asked casually: "What did you and Gao Lingxuan talk about, did you find anything?"
Fu Nian sorted out his thoughts and said, "I just talked about some things about my mother before she was alive, and some rumors circulating in the society after the car accident."
"What are the rumors?" Rong Xi easily grasped the key point of Fu Nian's words.
"When my grandfather presented the certificate of responsibility for the accident at the traffic control department, he once submitted an application for review. Because of this, there were many rumors in the society that the car accident was not an accident, but man-made." Fu Nian said before Gao Lingxuan Tell Rong Xi about the rumors in detail.
"Shen Lijun?" Rong Xi stopped what he was doing, and frowned slightly.
"This world is big, but it is really big. I haven't seen him in the past ten years. It's small, but it's really small. Since that night... I've seen everyone I should see."
"Shen, it's Shen again. It seems that the homicide happened in your family because the person who reported Shen's real name also mentioned to the investigation team the car accident that happened to your parents that year, which alarmed the other party, so they Then someone will be sent to your house to look for clues."
Fu Nian nodded and said, "I think so too."
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"I have asked Mr. Gao to contact Liang Mengqi, hoping that she can see me." Fu Nian never had the slightest doubt about Rong Xi, nor did he hide anything.
"If you need my help, just say so."
Fu Nian was startled, looked at Rongxi with complicated eyes, and said, "Mr. Rong, you don't have to be so kind to me, I will feel indebted to you."
Rong Xi looked up at Fu Nian and said, "You already owe me something, so I'm not afraid to ask for more."
Fu Nian glanced at Rongxi, and whispered, "If you owe too much, you won't be able to pay it back."
What Rongxi wants is that Fu Nian can't pay back, so that he can only stay by her side for the rest of his life.
The two of them didn't talk anymore and finished their supper quietly.
Rong Xi helped Fu Nian clean up the dishes and said, "Fu Nian, only make tea for me from now on."
Fu Nian was taken aback, and then said, "Then what if the company has guests?"
"Make coffee or tea, the simpler the better." Rong Xi said as he took off the apron on the wall, looked at Fu Nian, and motioned for him to turn around.
"Mr. Rong, I'll do it myself." Fu Nian said as he reached for the apron.
Rong Xi ducked and said: "Your hands are not clean, turn around."
Fu Nian looked at his refreshing hands, then at Rongxi who was persistent, and turned around helplessly.Fu Nian raised his arms and watched Rongxi's hands sticking out from under his armpits, his back pressed against his warm body, and his steady breathing sounded beside his ears.Fu Nian's heartbeat began to speed up, and the position where the two of them were close seemed to be on fire.Just when he was about to escape, Rong Xi stood up straight and quickly tied up his apron.
Fu Nian felt that his face was hot, and he didn't dare to turn his head, and said, "Mr. Rong, it's late, you go to bed first, I'll go to sleep after cleaning up."
"Okay." Rong Xi finished ordering, turned and left the kitchen without too much entanglement.
Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, Fu Nian couldn't help but let out a long breath, and unconsciously felt lost. His complicated and contradictory mood made him smile wryly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again. Fu Nian was reading his grandfather's diary when his phone vibrated suddenly. He picked it up casually and saw that it was Gao Lingxuan's number, so he quickly connected the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Gao, you are looking for me."
Gao Lingxuan said bluntly: "Fu Nian, Sister Liang promised to meet you at the Quming Tea House on the outskirts of the city at three o'clock this afternoon."
Fu Nian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and repeated: "Three o'clock in the afternoon, Quming Tea House, okay, I will remember, thank you, Mr. Gao."
"You're welcome, see you this afternoon."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon."
Fu Nian hung up the phone, looked up at the time, and then searched for the location of Quming Tea House on the map, and found that the tea house was nearly [-] kilometers away from Fuhua Garden. The garden is in the opposite direction.
Fu Nian looked at the past routes separately, and the most time-saving one is to drive around the city via the elevated highway, which takes about half an hour. Although the detour is a bit of a detour, at least there is no need to go downtown, and there is no danger of traffic jams.
Fu Nian calculated the time in his mind, got up and went back to the bedroom to put away the diary, and went out of the room to prepare lunch.
Fu Nian, who was busy in the kitchen, suddenly heard Rong Xi's voice from behind, "What's for lunch?"
"Oh, I bought some loach, and I'm planning to braise it in braised sauce." Fu Nian picked up the basin containing the loach, and said, "Look, Mr. Rong, it's fat and beautiful, braised in soy sauce must be delicious."
Rong Xi looked at it, and responded, "Well, it's not bad."
"Mr. Rong, what do you want as a staple food? Rice or noodles?"
"The cornmeal bun you made last time was delicious, let's do it again."
Fu Nian frowned and said, "I didn't buy celery, the taste will not be as good as last time, and it's quite troublesome to make. I have something to do in the afternoon and I'm in a hurry. I'll make it when I come back tonight."
"where to?"
"I just received a call from Mr. Gao. Liang Meiqi agreed to meet me. The appointment time is three o'clock this afternoon."
"where?"
"Quming Tea House is on the west side of the city and east of Fuhuayuan, so the distance is not too close."
"I will go with you."
"Mr. Rong, I'll do it myself. You can do whatever you need to do."
"If you're not in the company, just call me by my name."
Fu Nian naturally understood why Rong Xi said this, turned around uncomfortably, and said, "I'm used to being called 'Mr. Rong', so let's not change it."
Seeing that Fu Nian was evading again, Rong Xi felt helpless, and said, "It's easy to handle if you're not used to it. I'll help you. If you make a wrong call, you'll be fined 100 yuan."
"Mr. Rong, you are going too far. Not only do I have to deduct the money for the work clothes from my wages, but you also have to pay fines in various ways. You are deliberately trying to do your job for nothing." Mentioned the deduction of wages , Fu Nian, who was evasive just now, suddenly became furious.
Seeing this, Rong Xi smiled and said, "One hundred."
"Rongxi, you..." Fu Nian, who was about to swear, suddenly remembered that he would be fined two hundred for swearing, and swallowed the words again.
Rong Xi said regretfully: "It's a pity, I thought I could be fined at least three hundred today."
"Rongxi!" Fu Nian turned around and pushed Rongxi out of the kitchen, saying, "I'm going to cook, don't hinder me."
Fu Nian has been living very poorly these years, so he is a bit stingy no matter whether he treats himself or others.But even if he loves money, he is also very principled, and he only takes what he deserves.If the boss withholds his wages for no reason, he will resign even if he needs the job again, which is part of the reason why he has changed so many jobs over the years.What Rongxi did just now was clearly jumping across his bottom line repeatedly.
Fu Nian said angrily: "It's true that people push their noses and face their faces, so we can't get used to it."
Standing at the door, Rong Xi listened to Fu Nian talking to himself, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger. This kind of Fu Nian was the most vivid.
After having dinner together at noon, Fu Nian, Rong Xi, and Zhang Yan drove to Quming Tea House in the western suburbs in two cars.
Originally, it only took half an hour to drive, but it took an hour because of the traffic jam caused by a car accident. Fortunately, they left early, so they were not late.
After driving the car to the parking lot, the five people got out of the car respectively. Looking at the beautiful and quiet surroundings, Fu Nian couldn't help admiring, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a good environment in the urban area, it really looks like a paradise. "
"Although it is in the suburbs, the location is not too remote. It is indeed a good business investment to build such a tea house here and take the high-end route."
Fu Nian was amused for a while, and said, "Mr. Rong, do you look at everything from a commercial perspective?"
Rong Xi said lightly, "One hundred."
Fu Nian suddenly became unhappy, looked at Zhang Yan and the others beside him, pulled Rong Xi aside, and whispered, "No, you are outside now, what's wrong with me calling you that?"
Looking at the grasped wrist and the people who are close at hand, Rong Xi was in a good mood and said, "It's not working time."
Fu Nian frowned tightly, and said, "It's not working hours, so I have to meet people later. If I call you by your name, what will others think?"
Rong Xi looked into Fu Nian's eyes and said seriously: "I don't mind. I can't control other people's thoughts, and I won't wrong myself because of this."
Fu Nian was startled, then came back to his senses and said, "I mind."
I have to say that Rong Xi's words just now touched Fu Nian a lot. He didn't expect that someone like Rong Xi who cherished his reputation would be reckless because of his feelings, and he still had such feelings that were not accepted or even rejected by the public.You must know that if this matter gets out, not only he will be affected, but the entire Jiahua is likely to be affected.
Rong Xi lowered his eyes, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, and said, "It's just a title, we call them good friends, and others won't think too much about it."
Fu Nian's brows were tightly frowned. Rongxi was ill and his head was not clear. He couldn't let him do whatever he wanted, and said, "You can just call him a name. Why don't you let him go?"
"That's for others, not for me." Rongxi's eyes were hurt, he stopped looking at Fu Nian, turned around and said, "Forget it, it's up to you."
Seeing this, Fu Nian's heart softened, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, or you'll be late if you wait any longer."
Seeing Rongxi standing still, Fu Nian turned back to look at Zhang Yan and the others, stepped forward helplessly, pulled Rongxi's sleeve, and said, "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you, let's go. "
Only then did Rongxi take a step forward, walking beside Fu Nian in satisfaction.
The three of Zhang Yan looked at each other and quickly followed.
Ma Wu approached Zhang Yan and whispered, "Brother Yan, don't you think something is wrong between Mr. Rong and Fu Nian?"
Zhang Yan was from the past, so he could naturally see that the relationship between Rongxi and Fu Nian was unusual. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think there was anything wrong, probably because he and Fu Nian got along well.However, society has a limited tolerance for this kind of thing, and those who can keep it secret must keep it secret, at least not from their mouths.He looked at Ma Wu and warned, "Speak less and do more, you boy shut your mouth tightly."
Ma Wu was startled, although Zhang Yan didn't answer him directly, but what he said just now gave him an answer.He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Is it true?"
"Is it true, does it have anything to do with you? Just keep your mouth shut."
"No, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little surprised." Ma Wu looked at the two people in front of him with bright eyes, and said in a low voice, "Fu Nian is good, even Rong can handle it."
"That's what you said wrong." Li Sen joined the group chat and whispered, "Boss Rong hasn't settled Fu Nian yet."
"You mean Mr. Rong is chasing Fu Nian, and he hasn't caught up yet?" Ma Wu paused in surprise.
Just as Li Sen was about to speak, Zhang Yan interrupted him, saying, "You two can do it, don't forget your identities."
The two smiled embarrassingly, and followed immediately.
A group of five people came to the gate of the tea house, and a beautiful woman in a cheongsam greeted her. She smiled gracefully and said, "Welcome to Quming Tea House. I am Lin Qiu, the attendant of the tea house. Do any of you have an appointment?"
Fu Nian replied with a smile, "Yes, how can I get to Linlang Tea Room?"
"Please follow me." Lin Qiu said, turning around and leading the way.
The five followed Lin Qiu, passed through a small bamboo forest, and crossed an arched bridge before reaching the inside of the tea house.
Fu Nian asked curiously, "May I ask if you can only buy by appointment here?"
Lin Qiu explained with a smile: "Yes. We have a membership system here. If you want to drink tea, you need to make an appointment in advance."
"Then what are the requirements for membership?"
"If you recharge [-] yuan, you can become an ordinary member of the tea house."
"Eighty thousand!" Fu Nian couldn't help being startled, and muttered in his heart, "Sure enough, it's not something the poor can afford."
Rong Xi interjected: "I don't have a member, can I make an appointment for the tea room now?"
"Under normal circumstances, it is not possible. If you want to reserve a tea room, you must register as a member."
Rong Xi then asked: "I'm going through it now, can I make an appointment today?"
"You can apply for membership now, but whether you can make an appointment or not depends on whether there is any tea room available today." Lin Qiu paused, and then said: "Sir, do you want to apply for membership? If so, I can ask for you At the front desk, is there any tea room available?"
"You ask first, if there is a vacancy, I will do it."
"Okay, those few wait a moment, I will ask right away."
Seeing Lin Qiu walking aside, Fu Nian quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, tell me where the Linlang Tea Room is first. I'm about to be late for the time I made an appointment with."
"Sorry sir, you go straight along this stone road until you reach the end, and the one on the left is Linlang Tea Room."
Fu Nian looked at Rongxi and said, "Rong...Rongxi, then we will split into two groups. I'll go see Ms. Liang, and you go to apply for membership. We'll call to meet up after we finish talking."
Rong Xi looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yan, you go with her. If there is a tea room available, make an appointment."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Rong."
Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go, we're going to be late."
Seeing Rong Xi's smug expression, Fu Nian couldn't help curling his lips, but unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked towards the direction Lin Qiu pointed out.
Arriving at the end of the stone road, Fu Nian paused and looked at the building on the left. The pure wooden structure, antique appearance, coupled with this quiet environment, is indeed ingenious in this modern city.
Fu Nian saw the wooden sign on the door at a glance, and it said "Linlang Tea Room" in ancient Chinese characters.He turned to look at Rongxi and said, "This is it. Rong... Do you really want to go in?"
Rongxi didn't answer, and directly expressed his attitude with actions.Seeing Rongxi go out, Fu Nian hurriedly followed.The two came to the door and knocked, and then the door was opened, and Gao Lingxuan appeared in front of them.
Gao Lingxuan stared blankly at Rong Xi at the door, then smiled and said: "Mr. Rong is here too, sorry for the inconvenience."
Rong Xi smiled lightly and said, "I came here uninvited, I should say forgive me."
"What's the matter, Rong can always come here, of course we welcome you, please." Gao Lingxuan said and moved away from the door.
Rong Xi and Fu Nian entered the door one after another, and at the same time looked at the woman who got up in the room, looking at them with a smile.Liang Meiqi looks to be in her 30s, wearing a loose embroidered cotton top and trousers of the same style, her hair tied up high, without any jewelry on her body, she has an elegant charm, like an ancient At that time, everyone was a lady.
Gao Lingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and introduced, "This is Ms. Liang Meiqi Liang. This is Mr. Rong, the CEO of K. Wah Group. This is Fu Nian, the son of Sister Jiang."
Rong Xi just nodded slightly, while Fu Nian greeted with a smile: "Ms. Liang, hello."
Liang Meiqi just glanced at Rongxi indifferently, and then put her eyes on Fu Nian, and said with emotion: "Fu Nian, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you have grown up so much."
"Have you seen me?"
"Not only did I see you, I hugged you and took you to the playground, but you were too young to remember."
Fu Nian smiled embarrassedly and said, "I really can't remember what happened when I was young."
A look of guilt appeared on Liang Meiqi's gentle face, and she said: "If it wasn't for Sister Jiang, I wouldn't have become famous back then, but she left too suddenly... I should have taken care of you for her, but something happened, and I couldn't take care of myself , so... I am ashamed of Sister Jiang, I am ashamed of you."
"Don't say that, every family has difficult scriptures to recite, and they all understand. I'm living a good life."
"Fu Nian, call me Aunt Liang, come and sit down." Liang Meiqi pulled Fu Nian to sit down, then looked up at Rongxi, and said, "President Rong, sit down too."
Rong Xi nodded, walked to Fu Nian and sat down, Gao Lingxuan also sat down after seeing this.
Liang Meiqi lifted the teapot and poured tea for the two of them respectively, and said, "Fu Nian, Mr. Rong, how does this tea taste?"
Fu Nian picked up the teacup and sniffed it, took another sip, and then said a little shyly: "Aunt Liang, I don't know much about tea, no matter how good the tea is, I can't drink it differently." , made you laugh."
"It's okay. If you don't like tea, there are other drinks here."
"No, no, I like to drink, but I don't know much about it."
"Fu Nian, do you know? You are really similar to Sister Jiang."
Hearing Liang Meiqi's initiative to mention Jiang Qing, Fu Nian hurriedly asked, "Aunt Liang, what happened to my mother before her accident?"
"Sister Liu was married once and is currently single. She is a strong woman just like Sister Jiang." Gao Lingxuan said with a smile, "It can be seen that Sister Liu admires President Rong very much."
Fu Nian didn't speak, and when he looked at the two people who were walking over, he felt an eyesore.
Liu Hualing paused, turned her head to look at Rong Xi, and said with a smile, "I had a great chat with Mr. Rong tonight. If you have time, can Mr. Rong do you a favor and let's have a meal together?"
Rong Xi smiled slightly and said, "There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, so there is no rush."
Liu Hualing smiled even more when she heard the words, and said: "Mr. Rong is right, it's too late today, let's make an appointment another day."
"Okay, let's make an appointment another day."
Gao Lingxuan got up and walked towards Liu Hualing, looked at Rongxi, and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Rong for your hospitality today. I like the tea made by Fu Nian very much."
Liu Hualing asked with interest: "Who made the tea?"
"It's Fu Nian." Gao Lingxuan turned to look at Fu Nian.
Liu Hualing followed suit, nodded to Fu Nian with a smile, and said, "The tea is really good, even I, who doesn't usually drink milk tea, finished it unconsciously."
Fu Nian smiled politely and said, "As long as Mr. Liu likes it."
Several people said a few more polite words, Liu Hualing and Gao Lingxuan did not stay any longer, and left the villa.
After sending the two away, Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian and asked, "How is it going? Is there any progress?"
Fu Nian and Rong Xi looked at each other, and asked without answering, "Mr. Rong, is it because of me that you cooperated with Gao Lingxuan again?"
Rong Xi raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "If I say yes, what are you going to do?"
Fu Nian was startled, looked at Rongxi but didn't know what to say, and immediately regretted asking this question.
Rong Xi naturally understood Fu Nian's entanglement. Although he was a little disappointed, he also understood and said, "You think too much. I cooperated with them based on the interests of the company, and I just helped you by the way."
What Rong Xi said made Fu Nian even more moved. He suddenly remembered the scene of Rong Xi and Liu Hualing going downstairs together just now, and it was a bit uncomfortable. He said casually: "I heard from Gao Lingxuan that Mr. Liu was married before. It can't be seen that her skin and figure are well maintained."

Fu Nian noticed that Rongxi's tone was wrong, and said in a timely manner, "It's not pretty, I can only say that it has a good temperament and looks more charming."
"Then do you like it?" Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian with burning eyes.
"No, I don't like it." Fu Nian looked uncomfortable and looked away.
Rong Xi smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm hungry."
Fu Nian was stunned for a moment, then said, "What would Mr. Rong want to eat?"
"I want to eat...meat."
When Rong Xi said this, his eyes were fixed on Fu Nian, so that Fu Nian's face was burning hot.He said uncomfortably, "Then I'll fry steak for Mr. Rong."
Seeing Fu Nian run away, the smile in Rongxi's eyes grew stronger. Looking at his reaction, Rongxi could feel that Fu Nian had feelings for him, but he just couldn't accept it for a while and escaped.What he has to do now is to let Fu Nian face up to his heart and accept him slowly.Judging from the current progress, one year is more than enough time.

Fu Nian took out the steak from the refrigerator, marinated it with seasonings, put it aside to taste, then took out the tomatoes and meat sauce, and made two servings of pasta. When the plates were ready, he remembered that there were three people in the villa .
Fu Nian turned around and left the kitchen, looking for Zhang Yan and the others to ask if they wanted to have a late-night snack, but they couldn't find anyone after wandering around.
Rong Xi came down from upstairs after taking a shower, saw Fu Nian wandering in the living room, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Fu Nian looked up at Rongxi. Because of the bath, his face was still damp. Under the light, his sharp features softened a lot.The water droplets on the tips of his hair were crystal clear, flowing down his cheeks, over his jaw, over his neck and Adam's apple, and into his cotton pajamas.
It was just a drop of water, which made Fu Nian's mouth dry. He hurriedly looked away and said, "Mr. Rong, have you seen Brother Zhang and the others?"
Rong Xi's eyes flickered, and he said, "It's late, they should go back to their room to rest."
"So early?" Fu Nian looked up at the clock and said, "Forget it, then I won't ask them. I fried the steak and made pasta, so I'll serve it up."
Fu Nian turned around and went into the kitchen, brought out the food, and said, "Just now I forgot to ask Mr. Rong how ripe his steak is, so I made it well-done. Mr. Rong taste it to see if it suits your taste."
Rong Xi picked up the knife and fork, carefully cut the steak into small pieces, kept half for himself, and gave the other half to Fu Nian, saying, "It's not easy to eat too much for supper."
Fu Nian unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Rong is right."
Rong Xi asked casually: "What did you and Gao Lingxuan talk about, did you find anything?"

"Shen Lijun?" Rong Xi stopped what he was doing, and frowned slightly.

"Shen, it's Shen again. It seems that the homicide happened in your family because the person who reported Shen's real name also mentioned to the investigation team the car accident that happened to your parents that year, which alarmed the other party, so they Then someone will be sent to your house to look for clues."
Fu Nian nodded and said, "I think so too."
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"I have asked Mr. Gao to contact Liang Mengqi, hoping that she can see me." Fu Nian never had the slightest doubt about Rong Xi, nor did he hide anything.
"If you need my help, just say so."
Fu Nian was startled, looked at Rongxi with complicated eyes, and said, "Mr. Rong, you don't have to be so kind to me, I will feel indebted to you."
Rong Xi looked up at Fu Nian and said, "You already owe me something, so I'm not afraid to ask for more."
Fu Nian glanced at Rongxi, and whispered, "If you owe too much, you won't be able to pay it back."
What Rongxi wants is that Fu Nian can't pay back, so that he can only stay by her side for the rest of his life.

Rong Xi helped Fu Nian clean up the dishes and said, "Fu Nian, only make tea for me from now on."
Fu Nian was taken aback, and then said, "Then what if the company has guests?"
"Make coffee or tea, the simpler the better." Rong Xi said as he took off the apron on the wall, looked at Fu Nian, and motioned for him to turn around.
"Mr. Rong, I'll do it myself." Fu Nian said as he reached for the apron.
Rong Xi ducked and said: "Your hands are not clean, turn around."
Fu Nian looked at his refreshing hands, then at Rongxi who was persistent, and turned around helplessly.Fu Nian raised his arms and watched Rongxi's hands sticking out from under his armpits, his back pressed against his warm body, and his steady breathing sounded beside his ears.Fu Nian's heartbeat began to speed up, and the position where the two of them were close seemed to be on fire.Just when he was about to escape, Rong Xi stood up straight and quickly tied up his apron.
Fu Nian felt that his face was hot, and he didn't dare to turn his head, and said, "Mr. Rong, it's late, you go to bed first, I'll go to sleep after cleaning up."
"Okay." Rong Xi finished ordering, turned and left the kitchen without too much entanglement.
Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, Fu Nian couldn't help but let out a long breath, and unconsciously felt lost. His complicated and contradictory mood made him smile wryly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again. Fu Nian was reading his grandfather's diary when his phone vibrated suddenly. He picked it up casually and saw that it was Gao Lingxuan's number, so he quickly connected the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Gao, you are looking for me."
Gao Lingxuan said bluntly: "Fu Nian, Sister Liang promised to meet you at the Quming Tea House on the outskirts of the city at three o'clock this afternoon."
Fu Nian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and repeated: "Three o'clock in the afternoon, Quming Tea House, okay, I will remember, thank you, Mr. Gao."
"You're welcome, see you this afternoon."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon."
Fu Nian hung up the phone, looked up at the time, and then searched for the location of Quming Tea House on the map, and found that the tea house was nearly [-] kilometers away from Fuhua Garden. The garden is in the opposite direction.
Fu Nian looked at the past routes separately, and the most time-saving one is to drive around the city via the elevated highway, which takes about half an hour. Although the detour is a bit of a detour, at least there is no need to go downtown, and there is no danger of traffic jams.
Fu Nian calculated the time in his mind, got up and went back to the bedroom to put away the diary, and went out of the room to prepare lunch.
Fu Nian, who was busy in the kitchen, suddenly heard Rong Xi's voice from behind, "What's for lunch?"
"Oh, I bought some loach, and I'm planning to braise it in braised sauce." Fu Nian picked up the basin containing the loach, and said, "Look, Mr. Rong, it's fat and beautiful, braised in soy sauce must be delicious."
Rong Xi looked at it, and responded, "Well, it's not bad."
"Mr. Rong, what do you want as a staple food? Rice or noodles?"
"The cornmeal bun you made last time was delicious, let's do it again."
Fu Nian frowned and said, "I didn't buy celery, the taste will not be as good as last time, and it's quite troublesome to make. I have something to do in the afternoon and I'm in a hurry. I'll make it when I come back tonight."
"where to?"
"I just received a call from Mr. Gao. Liang Meiqi agreed to meet me. The appointment time is three o'clock this afternoon."
"where?"
"Quming Tea House is on the west side of the city and east of Fuhuayuan, so the distance is not too close."
"I will go with you."
"Mr. Rong, I'll do it myself. You can do whatever you need to do."
"If you're not in the company, just call me by my name."
Fu Nian naturally understood why Rong Xi said this, turned around uncomfortably, and said, "I'm used to being called 'Mr. Rong', so let's not change it."
Seeing that Fu Nian was evading again, Rong Xi felt helpless, and said, "It's easy to handle if you're not used to it. I'll help you. If you make a wrong call, you'll be fined 100 yuan."
"Mr. Rong, you are going too far. Not only do I have to deduct the money for the work clothes from my wages, but you also have to pay fines in various ways. You are deliberately trying to do your job for nothing." Mentioned the deduction of wages , Fu Nian, who was evasive just now, suddenly became furious.
Seeing this, Rong Xi smiled and said, "One hundred."
"Rongxi, you..." Fu Nian, who was about to swear, suddenly remembered that he would be fined two hundred for swearing, and swallowed the words again.
Rong Xi said regretfully: "It's a pity, I thought I could be fined at least three hundred today."
"Rongxi!" Fu Nian turned around and pushed Rongxi out of the kitchen, saying, "I'm going to cook, don't hinder me."
Fu Nian has been living very poorly these years, so he is a bit stingy no matter whether he treats himself or others.But even if he loves money, he is also very principled, and he only takes what he deserves.If the boss withholds his wages for no reason, he will resign even if he needs the job again, which is part of the reason why he has changed so many jobs over the years.What Rongxi did just now was clearly jumping across his bottom line repeatedly.
Fu Nian said angrily: "It's true that people push their noses and face their faces, so we can't get used to it."
Standing at the door, Rong Xi listened to Fu Nian talking to himself, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger. This kind of Fu Nian was the most vivid.
After having dinner together at noon, Fu Nian, Rong Xi, and Zhang Yan drove to Quming Tea House in the western suburbs in two cars.
Originally, it only took half an hour to drive, but it took an hour because of the traffic jam caused by a car accident. Fortunately, they left early, so they were not late.
After driving the car to the parking lot, the five people got out of the car respectively. Looking at the beautiful and quiet surroundings, Fu Nian couldn't help admiring, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a good environment in the urban area, it really looks like a paradise. "
"Although it is in the suburbs, the location is not too remote. It is indeed a good business investment to build such a tea house here and take the high-end route."
Fu Nian was amused for a while, and said, "Mr. Rong, do you look at everything from a commercial perspective?"
Rong Xi said lightly, "One hundred."
Fu Nian suddenly became unhappy, looked at Zhang Yan and the others beside him, pulled Rong Xi aside, and whispered, "No, you are outside now, what's wrong with me calling you that?"
Looking at the grasped wrist and the people who are close at hand, Rong Xi was in a good mood and said, "It's not working time."
Fu Nian frowned tightly, and said, "It's not working hours, so I have to meet people later. If I call you by your name, what will others think?"
Rong Xi looked into Fu Nian's eyes and said seriously: "I don't mind. I can't control other people's thoughts, and I won't wrong myself because of this."
Fu Nian was startled, then came back to his senses and said, "I mind."
I have to say that Rong Xi's words just now touched Fu Nian a lot. He didn't expect that someone like Rong Xi who cherished his reputation would be reckless because of his feelings, and he still had such feelings that were not accepted or even rejected by the public.You must know that if this matter gets out, not only he will be affected, but the entire Jiahua is likely to be affected.
Rong Xi lowered his eyes, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, and said, "It's just a title, we call them good friends, and others won't think too much about it."
Fu Nian's brows were tightly frowned. Rongxi was ill and his head was not clear. He couldn't let him do whatever he wanted, and said, "You can just call him a name. Why don't you let him go?"
"That's for others, not for me." Rongxi's eyes were hurt, he stopped looking at Fu Nian, turned around and said, "Forget it, it's up to you."
Seeing this, Fu Nian's heart softened, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, or you'll be late if you wait any longer."
Seeing Rongxi standing still, Fu Nian turned back to look at Zhang Yan and the others, stepped forward helplessly, pulled Rongxi's sleeve, and said, "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you, let's go. "
Only then did Rongxi take a step forward, walking beside Fu Nian in satisfaction.
The three of Zhang Yan looked at each other and quickly followed.
Ma Wu approached Zhang Yan and whispered, "Brother Yan, don't you think something is wrong between Mr. Rong and Fu Nian?"
Zhang Yan was from the past, so he could naturally see that the relationship between Rongxi and Fu Nian was unusual. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think there was anything wrong, probably because he and Fu Nian got along well.However, society has a limited tolerance for this kind of thing, and those who can keep it secret must keep it secret, at least not from their mouths.He looked at Ma Wu and warned, "Speak less and do more, you boy shut your mouth tightly."
Ma Wu was startled, although Zhang Yan didn't answer him directly, but what he said just now gave him an answer.He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Is it true?"
"Is it true, does it have anything to do with you? Just keep your mouth shut."
"No, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little surprised." Ma Wu looked at the two people in front of him with bright eyes, and said in a low voice, "Fu Nian is good, even Rong can handle it."
"That's what you said wrong." Li Sen joined the group chat and whispered, "Boss Rong hasn't settled Fu Nian yet."
"You mean Mr. Rong is chasing Fu Nian, and he hasn't caught up yet?" Ma Wu paused in surprise.
Just as Li Sen was about to speak, Zhang Yan interrupted him, saying, "You two can do it, don't forget your identities."
The two smiled embarrassingly, and followed immediately.
A group of five people came to the gate of the tea house, and a beautiful woman in a cheongsam greeted her. She smiled gracefully and said, "Welcome to Quming Tea House. I am Lin Qiu, the attendant of the tea house. Do any of you have an appointment?"
Fu Nian replied with a smile, "Yes, how can I get to Linlang Tea Room?"
"Please follow me." Lin Qiu said, turning around and leading the way.
The five followed Lin Qiu, passed through a small bamboo forest, and crossed an arched bridge before reaching the inside of the tea house.
Fu Nian asked curiously, "May I ask if you can only buy by appointment here?"
Lin Qiu explained with a smile: "Yes. We have a membership system here. If you want to drink tea, you need to make an appointment in advance."
"Then what are the requirements for membership?"
"If you recharge [-] yuan, you can become an ordinary member of the tea house."
"Eighty thousand!" Fu Nian couldn't help being startled, and muttered in his heart, "Sure enough, it's not something the poor can afford."
Rong Xi interjected: "I don't have a member, can I make an appointment for the tea room now?"
"Under normal circumstances, it is not possible. If you want to reserve a tea room, you must register as a member."
Rong Xi then asked: "I'm going through it now, can I make an appointment today?"
"You can apply for membership now, but whether you can make an appointment or not depends on whether there is any tea room available today." Lin Qiu paused, and then said: "Sir, do you want to apply for membership? If so, I can ask for you At the front desk, is there any tea room available?"
"You ask first, if there is a vacancy, I will do it."
"Okay, those few wait a moment, I will ask right away."
Seeing Lin Qiu walking aside, Fu Nian quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, tell me where the Linlang Tea Room is first. I'm about to be late for the time I made an appointment with."
"Sorry sir, you go straight along this stone road until you reach the end, and the one on the left is Linlang Tea Room."
Fu Nian looked at Rongxi and said, "Rong...Rongxi, then we will split into two groups. I'll go see Ms. Liang, and you go to apply for membership. We'll call to meet up after we finish talking."
Rong Xi looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yan, you go with her. If there is a tea room available, make an appointment."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Rong."
Rong Xi looked at Fu Nian with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go, we're going to be late."
Seeing Rong Xi's smug expression, Fu Nian couldn't help curling his lips, but unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked towards the direction Lin Qiu pointed out.
Arriving at the end of the stone road, Fu Nian paused and looked at the building on the left. The pure wooden structure, antique appearance, coupled with this quiet environment, is indeed ingenious in this modern city.
Fu Nian saw the wooden sign on the door at a glance, and it said "Linlang Tea Room" in ancient Chinese characters.He turned to look at Rongxi and said, "This is it. Rong... Do you really want to go in?"
Rongxi didn't answer, and directly expressed his attitude with actions.Seeing Rongxi go out, Fu Nian hurriedly followed.The two came to the door and knocked, and then the door was opened, and Gao Lingxuan appeared in front of them.
Gao Lingxuan stared blankly at Rong Xi at the door, then smiled and said: "Mr. Rong is here too, sorry for the inconvenience."
Rong Xi smiled lightly and said, "I came here uninvited, I should say forgive me."
"What's the matter, Rong can always come here, of course we welcome you, please." Gao Lingxuan said and moved away from the door.
Rong Xi and Fu Nian entered the door one after another, and at the same time looked at the woman who got up in the room, looking at them with a smile.Liang Meiqi looks to be in her 30s, wearing a loose embroidered cotton top and trousers of the same style, her hair tied up high, without any jewelry on her body, she has an elegant charm, like an ancient At that time, everyone was a lady.
Gao Lingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and introduced, "This is Ms. Liang Meiqi Liang. This is Mr. Rong, the CEO of K. Wah Group. This is Fu Nian, the son of Sister Jiang."
Rong Xi just nodded slightly, while Fu Nian greeted with a smile: "Ms. Liang, hello."
Liang Meiqi just glanced at Rongxi indifferently, and then put her eyes on Fu Nian, and said with emotion: "Fu Nian, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you have grown up so much."
"Have you seen me?"
"Not only did I see you, I hugged you and took you to the playground, but you were too young to remember."
Fu Nian smiled embarrassedly and said, "I really can't remember what happened when I was young."
A look of guilt appeared on Liang Meiqi's gentle face, and she said: "If it wasn't for Sister Jiang, I wouldn't have become famous back then, but she left too suddenly... I should have taken care of you for her, but something happened, and I couldn't take care of myself , so... I am ashamed of Sister Jiang, I am ashamed of you."
"Don't say that, every family has difficult scriptures to recite, and they all understand. I'm living a good life."
"Fu Nian, call me Aunt Liang, come and sit down." Liang Meiqi pulled Fu Nian to sit down, then looked up at Rongxi, and said, "President Rong, sit down too."
Rong Xi nodded, walked to Fu Nian and sat down, Gao Lingxuan also sat down after seeing this.
Liang Meiqi lifted the teapot and poured tea for the two of them respectively, and said, "Fu Nian, Mr. Rong, how does this tea taste?"
Fu Nian picked up the teacup and sniffed it, took another sip, and then said a little shyly: "Aunt Liang, I don't know much about tea, no matter how good the tea is, I can't drink it differently." , made you laugh."
"It's okay. If you don't like tea, there are other drinks here."
"No, no, I like to drink, but I don't know much about it."
"Fu Nian, do you know? You are really similar to Sister Jiang."
Hearing Liang Meiqi's initiative to mention Jiang Qing, Fu Nian hurriedly asked, "Aunt Liang, what happened to my mother before her accident?"
