between heartstrings

Chu Jiahe's complexion was gentle, almost subconsciously, he raised his right hand and touched the maple leaf brooch Wei Sizhe gave him.

Noticing his actions, He Yuan decided to help Chu Jiahe solve his doubts.He put down his teacup, strolled in the noisy crowd with his hands behind his back, and walked on the outside to isolate the noisy noise, and set up a private barrier for Chu Jiahe, so that he would not feel at a loss and flustered in an unfamiliar environment .

"It should be seven years from now." He Yuan said slowly, "We have established an investment company."

"At that time, I was working as a bank teller, and Qi Qian spent all his time at home speculating in stocks. When Si Zhicheng came back, the first thing he did after returning to China was to gather our group of people and make a big splash."

"Can you imagine? Isn't the expression of covering your stomach and letting go of laughing on Si Zhe's face a bit unnatural?" He Yuan lowered his eyelids and said, "26-year-old Wei Sizhe, a college student who just finished graduate school The boy, who is about to step into the society, has the aura of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", and is determined to make a career, which really makes those of us who have long lost enthusiasm for dreams admire and envy."

Chu Jiahe looked sideways when he heard the words, maybe it was his illusion, He Yuan's expression changed subtly for a moment, his tone seemed to be mixed with regret, and the next second he quickly returned to normal.

He Yuan continued: "Actually, we have all had the idea of ​​starting a company, but no one has the courage to realize it. The risk of investing is too high. Our family is not considered rich, so we only dare to start a small business in a well-behaved manner." Small trouble, buy some funds, securities, and stocks at a small cost and on a small scale.”

"Si Zhe went to study in the United States. Even though he got a scholarship, his parents didn't spend less. His family is not rich, and the two elders love their son very much. They basically send him his monthly retirement salary as living expenses."

He Yuan said: "During that time, I always joked with Qi Qian, if we really create a company in the future and succeed, we can all be regarded as 'self-made'."

Uncontrollably stuck in memories, He Yuan tilted his head and smiled at Chu Jiahe: "Si Zhe's return to China is a turning point in our lives."

"With him as the center, there are many people with great strength. The four of us finally established the company stumbling through our trust in each other."

Chu Jiahe frowned, his lips parted slightly, but he didn't let himself make a sound abruptly.four?Unable to help wondering, he asked himself, aren't there three people?

"The day when the business license was issued was June [-]th. I remember it very clearly. We were all crazy with excitement." He Yuan shook his head with emotion, and sighed, "We ate and celebrated until late at night, after leaving the restaurant , Qi Qian suddenly yelled that he wanted to go shopping, and insisted on buying a gift to commemorate this day."

"It happened that there was a shopping mall across the road, but the prices inside were too high. After wandering around, Qi Qian dragged Si Zhe into a brooch shop, so the four of us each bought a brooch that night. They represent It means the beginning of a new life.”

"My design is a hoopoe, Qi Qian's is a seagull, Shen Youqing's is wheat ears, and Si Zhe's is a maple leaf."

"Is there any moral?" The fourth person was Shen Youqing, and Chu Jiahe didn't ask any further questions, and said by the way, "Is it still random?"

"The three of us chose the style based on the owner's introduction." He Yuan said, "Only Si Zhe, he made his own idea."

After finishing his social engagements, Wei Sizhe thanked several companies for their invitations, told the truth that he had no plans to change jobs, and walked quickly towards Chu Jiahe.Seeing the man in a hurry, He Yuan tilted his shoulders and whispered in Chu Jiahe's ear: "Si Zhe's parents decided to date back then, and the token of love that Mr. Wei gave to Ms. Ban Yue was a maple leaf brooch."

Chu Jiahe was slightly stunned, he was hit by surprise, he neglected to manage his expression, his heart was beating violently.He Yuan patted him on the back, looked at Wei Sizhe, covered his mouth and said to Chu Jiahe: "What Si Zhe told us at the time was that he would keep this brooch well, and if there is a chance in the future, he will give it to him as well." My favorite person."

Wei Sizhe stopped in his tracks, Chu Jiahe's figure was reflected in his deep pupils.Pointing at He Yuan, he asked Chu Jiahe: "Did He say I'm black history?"

He Yuan angrily knocked off his hand: "Hiss, I'm complimenting you."

Wei Sizhe unfastened the cuff buttons, folded the cuffs to the crook of his arms, and looked at He Yuan: "Don't exaggerate too much, when the time comes, people will find out that's not the case at all, and it will cause my image to plummet, and it will be embarrassing." .”

It's rare to see Wei Sizhe's happy face, the smile on his face is only for one person, He Yuan teased: "Take your expression, the corners of your mouth are almost connected to your eyebrows, you are so enthusiastic now, isn't it usually quite cold?" .”

Chu Jiahe asked in surprise: "Is Mr. Wei usually indifferent? I don't think so."

He Yuan: "..."

Wei Sizhe stood beside Chu Jiahe: "Of course you have to behave positively in front of you."

He Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Wei Sizhe, you are treating them differently."

Wei Sizhe said: "Old He, I'm going to treat you coldly."

"Come on, I'll go." He Yuan raised his hand in surrender knowingly, and then shook his fist at Wei Sizhe, "Wait, I'll clean you up after work on Monday."

Chu Jiahe finished the pear soup, lowered his head and smiled for a long time.

"Are you used to it?" Wei Sizhe asked with his right hand resting casually on Chu Jiahe's shoulder, "Is it more relaxed than when you first came here?"

"Mr. Wei, take a look around." Chu Jiahe replied, "There are many eyes on you, and there are many people who pay attention to you. I'm afraid I won't be able to relax for a while."

Wei Sizhe asked with a smile, "Then what should we do?"

Chu Jiahe took a slight step to the left, allowing half of his body to overlap Wei Sizhe, as if swearing his sovereignty: "I have to get closer to you."

Wei Sizhe was really rare for Chu Jiahe's frankness.There was a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the long table beside him. Wei Sizhe picked up one and let Chu Jiahe taste it first: "This is Qi Qian's favorite cake."

Just as Wei Sizhe took a bite out of his hand, Chu Jiahe frowned and said, "So sweet?"

"He likes sweets better." Wei Sizhe stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, and also frowned, it was indeed too sweet.

"Hey." Chu Jiahe wanted to stop him, but was a step too late, "I've eaten it before, if you want to eat it, get a new one."

"Okay." Wei Sizhe replied, brought another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, bit off half of it and handed it to Chu Jiahe, "It's dead, what if it doesn't taste good, it will be wasted if you don't eat it."

Chu Jiahe tilted his head and chuckled, took it and ate it seriously, and whispered: "You are not childish."

The music started, the crystal chandelier went out, and there was thunderous applause. A beam of chasing light completely enveloped Qi Qian who was holding a microphone.The items participating in the charity auction were displayed on the big screen. Wei Sizhe and Chu Jiahe each took a glass of orange juice in their hands, and the loud movements in the Yunxiao Hall did not affect their conversation at all.

Chu Jiahe took the initiative to clink glasses with Wei Sizhe: "Mr. He told me the origin of the brooch."

Wei Sizhe had expected it a long time ago: "Yes."

"Give me such a meaningful thing." Chu Jiahe raised his smiling eyes and asked, "Have you really decided?"

"Actually, I didn't hesitate at all when I made this decision. Maybe it's because you are the one who wants to give it away, so I don't need to think too much about it." Wei Sizhe replied, "It's you, you know my family, my friend You've seen it too, and now it's up to you to make a decision."

Chu Jiahe shook the glass, and the refracted colorful lights and shadows fell on the back of his hand: "As long as Mr. Wei is willing to give me something, I will take it all."

"However, before I have something to say, I have to remind you."

Wei Sizhe turned his head curiously: "All ears."

"Since you gave it to me, you can't go back on it." Chu Jiahe raised the corners of his lips and said, "Whether it's a meaningful gift or you."
