Ye Mi set up the company in the east of the city, the building in the first phase of Hongyu Plaza. The entire area is where the old foreign companies in Jiangcheng gather.Han Wei still lives outside the third ring road, and comes to the company regularly to punch his card twice a week.

The company is on the 45th floor. Most of the men and women in the elevator room are wearing formal clothes and work badges, with a slight tiredness on their faces. Han Wei is dressed casually. Standing in it, there is a sense of strangeness in his heart.

When he was studying at Berkeley, he went to San Francisco for an internship for half a semester. Like most timid interns, he buried himself in the old-fashioned under the name of various law firms, consulting companies or investment banks. In a professional suit, but fortunately, he is full of youth and vitality, and his whole body is shining.

Han Wei sighed in his heart. Compared with then, he is really depressed and depressed now.

48.

The company has a good environment and has specially set up a rest area full of humanistic care.Han Wei came less often, but Ye Mi insisted on saving an office for him.

At noon, Ye Mi came over after a meeting, pulled him up from the chair, and went to the restaurant below the office building for dinner.

The two entered the elevator, and Han Wei stood beside her, casually asking, "Have you been working so hard lately?"

Ye Mi stroked the hair behind the ears, sighed and said, "Hey, even concealer can't cover the dark circles."

The community they built is called Mint Chromatography. Unlike other e-commerce platforms, it focuses on user sharing and touches all aspects of consumer experience and lifestyle.After receiving tens of millions of dollars in financing, it is currently preparing for the launch of the e-commerce platform "Tao Guoguo", upgrading from a simple community and completing a closed business loop.

During the conversation with Ye Mi, Han Wei learned that: the front-end user interface has been set, and the background system supporting various front-end interactions is also being built in an orderly manner. Although it is busy, the project can be gradually promoted.

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor. When the door was about to close, a young man came. Ye Mi got close and blocked the door with his hand. The man came in and thanked him politely.

"You're welcome." Ye Mi said.

The man smiled, turned his head, and called Brother Han.

Han Wei was looking down at his phone when he heard a familiar voice and raised his head in surprise.Wei Jing stared at him, the corners of his mouth turned up, and there was no cloud or sunshine on his face.

"You...what a coincidence." Han Wei pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.

"Isn't it..." Wei Jing tugged at his collar, looked ahead, "Come over here for something?"

Han Wei hummed vaguely, not wanting to answer.

Ye Mi glanced at Han Wei, then at Wei Jing, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was weird, and it seemed that there was "adultery".

"Miss, do you work here?" Wei Jing suddenly turned to Ye Mi, smiling warmly.

"Well, the 45th floor."

"What's your name?"

"Yami."

"Our company just moved here, on the eighteenth floor. You can call me Xiao Jing."

Ye Mi nodded, thinking to himself, he is a talkative person.

Tang Yiqu was on a business trip for three days, and as soon as he got off the plane and turned on his phone, a text message from Assistant Chen came, informing him of the evening's dinner.

Two years ago, he switched from an investment bank to PE (Release 1), and went to Bee Investment under Li Yongkui.In addition to the higher proportion of legal document research, the work rhythm and required skillsets are similar to those in the investment bank, but there is no deadline, and the time for documents and business trips is divided in half, which is obviously much easier.

There are too many trivial matters to manage the project at hand.After the money is invested, PPT and LP (Note 2) have to explain the company's performance, participate in the shareholders' meeting, and find the possibility of mergers and acquisitions. It is flexible but cannot be taken lightly.

As soon as he got into the taxi, Li Yongkui's phone came after him.

"Little Tang, don't be late tonight, there are big people who are very interested in us." Li Yongkui's voice was very steady, and Tang Yiqu didn't understand what "we" meant, did he just refer to Li Yongkui's company, or to himself? with him.

"Okay, no problem, I just got off the plane, go back and dress up." After Tang Yiqu finished speaking, he laughed a few times.

Li Yongkui also laughed on the other end of the phone, "You boy..."

50.

In the evening, when he arrived at the hotel and walked into the venue, Tang Yiqu realized that it was a small dinner party with a host.

Li Yongkui arrived a little later than him, took him around and greeted the bigwigs who often appeared on TV.Tang Yiqu had long been used to such occasions, smiling thoughtfully while holding a glass of red wine.In the end, he turned to Chairman Xiao, the organizer, and Mr. Li patted Tang Yiqu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Xiao, this is the Tang Yiqu I often mentioned to you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Yiqu smiled modestly: "President Li exaggerates the truth, he is the one who teaches and helps well."

Chairman Xiao smiled gracefully, raised his glass, and took a sip of wine.Tang Yiqu understood, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Old Li, it's not bad. He's a good-looking guy. I like this young man." Chairman Xiao said after looking at Tang Yiqu without any trace.

Li Yongkui shook his wine glass and joked, "How about it, you are reluctant to introduce Qiaoqiao to our young talent, Mr. Tang."

Chairman Xiao looked around the venue, frowned and said, "This girl was still beside me just now, and now she has gone somewhere."

"Qiaoqiao has been weird since she was a child, by the way, how many days do you plan to stay this time..."

Before Li Yongkui finished speaking, a delicate female voice replied behind the three of them: "It depends on your mood."

"Uncle Li," Xiao Qiaoqiao called obediently, Li Yongkui nodded and smiled happily. "Dad," Xiao Qiaoqiao turned to her father, "Look who I met."

Tang Yiqu looked along the prestige, his eyes lit up, and he saw the graceful figure behind Xiao Qiaoqiao, fashionable and coquettish.

Han Wei is wearing black jacquard trousers with thin vertical stripes, a gray wool single-breasted suit, dark gold phoenix tail embroidery winding up the collar and cuffs, the black and white collar tips are turned up at a slant, and a pair of blue-bottomed black-faced magic suits under his feet. The sneakers are Prada's new season. It looks like a model who just stepped off the stage from the Driesvannoten (release 3) show.

Han Wei crossed the crowd and winked at him.Tang Yiqu only felt a thump, his heart felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, it hurt and swelled, and his face started to feel hot involuntarily.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Li," Han Wei nodded, smiling firmly.

The two were surprised for a while, then laughed again.

Li Yongkui raised his glass and said, "Mr. Han, what a coincidence."

Han Wei nodded.

Chairman Xiao patted Han Wei on the back and said, "Xiao Wei, just call him Uncle."

Han Wei took a sip of champagne, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, "Okay."

51.

Two-thirds of the dinner was going on, Tang Yiqu got addicted to cigarettes, so he slipped to the terrace to smoke.

As soon as I ordered one, Han Wei also followed.

"Still smoking this thing?" Tang Yiqu glanced at the blueberry popping beads in Han Wei's hand,

"It's quite lenient." Han Wei rolled his eyes at him and lit his cigarette.

Tang Yiqu looked at him leaning against the railing, took a deep breath, and exhaled white smoke rings. The smoke curled around his eyelashes and the bridge of his nose, covering his pool-like eyes, and he couldn't see any emotion flowing in his eyes.

"Why did you come to the round table talk?" Tang Yiqu couldn't help asking.

Han Wei turned his head and took a look at the brightly lit meeting place. He put his cups in the cups, and was discussing various hot air outlets, markets, ipo, vc, o2o... Careerists are ready to move, and bigwigs are standing still. A corner of the commercial jungle is wrapped in an exquisite packaging box made of reinforced concrete.

"It's been a long night." Han Wei answered a bit out of question.

Tang Yiqu sneered, "What are you dissatisfied with?" Labor and management have been on the ground for less than 7 hours.

"Indeed," Han Wei flicked the cigarette ash, "Six months ago, I wasn't even qualified to come in."

"I did not mean that……"

Chatting to such an extent, Tang Yiqu wanted to shovel his own mouth.

"I'm teasing you," Han Wei giggled, moved to Tang Yiqu's right side, and touched his shoulder, "Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise I would have missed your blind date."

Tang Yiqu: "..."

Tang Yiqu sighed helplessly and said, "I really didn't expect that President Li would arrange such a trip today, and he didn't even say hello to me in advance."

Seeing Tang Yiqu's complexion changed, Han Wei quickly smoothed things over and said, "Honestly, Qiaoqiao is pretty good. I think you two are a good match."

Tang Yiqu tilted his head, the light outside was dim, and Han Wei's perfect profile was sunk in the semi-darkness, which made him palpitate again for no reason.

"Do you want me to be with that girl?" Tang Yiqu asked suddenly.

Han Wei turned his head, and the night wind blew over his face with a cold sweet smell, and his breath gradually sank.The two faced each other, their eyes shimmering, as if discussing, they fell into aphasia at the same time.

"What do you want me to say?" Han Wei broke the silence, staring at him without blinking and asking.

Tang Yiqu had a wild beast in his heart, and it took a lot of effort to trap it in the fence.

But Han Wei's words, a glance, and even a careless movement were like cannonballs that easily leveled the barrier.The turbulent emotion was like a flood of beasts, flooding his body and mind, drowning his reason, pushing him to the edge of the cliff, crumbling.

Tang Yiqu swallowed his throat, put his face in front of Han Wei, and asked, "Don't you know what you want to say?"

Han Wei couldn't help taking a step back, Tang Yiqu quickly pulled him into his arms, just like that dream, buried him in the other's neck, sniffing the cold fragrance mixed with the smell of tobacco.

"Han Wei, I need you."

"Listen, I'll just say it once, I don't need anyone but you."

"What?" Han Wei's back stiffened, he forgot to struggle for a while, and finally his shoulders softened, and he said sullenly, "...the smoke is gone."

"Old Han..." Tang Yiqu raised his head, squeezed Han Wei's chin, and forced Han Wei to look at him, "Don't you understand, I want you like crazy, I want you like a dog never mind."
