gentle reunion

Xu Zan turned his head, Lan Tianran let go of his hand: "What aspect are you asking him specifically?"

Xu Zan thought, forgetting that Lan Tianran sometimes thinks abnormally, he asked a more specific question: "Has he returned to China?"

Lan Tianran hesitated: "I don't know, I haven't contacted him for half a year. He was in the United States half a year ago."

Xu Zan nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you. Good night."

Lan Tianran smiled back: "Good night."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xie Kaiyan came up to meet him: "Why are you working overtime again?"

He is a student of Mingli University, usually lives on campus, and usually only spends the night at Xu Zan's house on weekends. Recently, because the end of the semester is approaching and there are few classes, he comes to Xu Zan's place more often.

Xu Zan embraced him: "Didn't I tell you before that someone wanted to buy our company, and today they came to the company to discuss with us."

"It's so hot." Xie Kaiyan pushed him away and asked, "How much is he willing to pay?"

He didn't know the situation of Xu Zan's company, and always thought it was just a small company barely making ends meet, worthless.

Although he is right to think so, this is only superficial. In fact, Xu Zan and his company still have great potential, otherwise they would not be favored by a big group like Hengsheng.

"It's not so quick to talk about money." Xu Zan opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of beer, knocked off the bottle cap, and walked towards the balcony.

"After the negotiation, we have money. Let's change cars. Your car is too big and it's too inconvenient to drive." Xie Kaiyan took the opportunity to persuade Xu Zan to change cars. He didn't like Xu Zan's "old and big".

"What's wrong with my car? It can go up the mountain and down the river." Xu Zan pushed open the balcony door, walked to the balcony railing, and leaned on the railing to drink.

"Where do the mountains and rivers come from in Mingcheng?" Xie Kaiyan pushed Xu Zan, "To be honest, that car is hard to drive."

Xu Zan swayed according to his strength: "Anyway, I drove."

"..." Xie Kaiyan turned around and wanted to go back to the house.

At this time, Xu Zan looked at the hazy night scene in the distance and asked, "Do you think the night view of Mingcheng is beautiful?"

The floor of his house is the 15th floor, there are no taller buildings nearby, and the field of vision is quite wide.

"You still pay attention to this?" Xie Kaiyan leaned back to the railing, looked at Xu Zan, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly become romantic?"

Xu Zan laughed: "Is this called emotional appeal?"

"There is a very implicit way of expressing your love, which is to say to others: the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Xu Zan spat out the beer he hadn't swallowed, and shook his head speechlessly: "Youth of literature and art..."

Xie Kaiyan curled his lips, turned around and went back to the room, what a waste of talk with this "straight man", what a waste of expression.

Xu Zan wiped the wine on his neck with the back of his hand, and his chat with Lan Tianran about the night scene was naturally just a small talk, how could it be related to some ambiguous sentiment.

He took another sip of wine, and then looked at the beer bottle in his hand. The body of the bottle was cold, and it was covered with condensation water droplets. a puddle.

Ten years ago, he hit Wang Kejiu with a similar wine bottle, and the blood dripped from the opponent's head to the ground, accumulating in a big puddle.

Afterwards, Wang Kejiu was pushed into the emergency room, and he dropped out of school.

It was his sophomore year.

He originally had a bright future, but who would have thought that the world would be unpredictable, so he dropped out of school in his sophomore year, started to mix in society early, and suffered a lot.

After dropping out of school, he and Lan Tianran had no interaction.

But Lan Tianran developed well later on, so even though Xu Zan didn't pay attention to him specifically, he could still hear about him.

——After graduating from Lan Tianran University, he founded an Internet company. It was a very famous star startup company. However, he later chose to sell the company and go abroad.

As for Wang Kejiu, his life has always been smooth - he has no ability himself, but his family is very good, with power and money in his family.

However, power and wealth are not evergreen trees. About four years ago, the Wang family went bankrupt due to some problems. Wang Kejiu and his family went abroad in a hurry. After that, we never heard from him again.

When the Wang family had an accident, Lan Tianran's family was also implicated. It is said that Lan Tianran sold his company because the family lacked money and needed him to repair the hole.

Now that Lan Tianran has returned to China, is it possible that Wang Kejiu also returned to China?

Xu Zan's smashing of Wang Kejiu was very serious. There are people and physical evidence. If Wang Kejiu wants to send him to jail, it can be done.

Wang Kejiu didn't call the police because he wanted to catch Xu Zan and lynch him, but he didn't expect Xu Zan to run so fast and hide so well.

Xu Zan originally thought that the Wang family fell and Wang Kejiu ran away, and their grievances would come to an end.

But what if it's not over yet?

What if the Wang family makes a comeback again?

Wang Kejiu wouldn't come up with the "gentleman's revenge, it's not too late for ten years" would he?

The next morning, Luo Xiaorui leaned over to Xu Zan's desk: "What, did your old classmate reveal any inside information to you yesterday?"

"He suggested that we find a profit model that suits us as soon as possible."

"We're looking. Nothing else?"

"It's gone. There was still a driver in the car yesterday, so it's not easy to talk too much."

One is the acquirer, and the other is the acquiree. Lan Tianran told him too much, and he would be suspected of "collaborating with the enemy".

"That's right. Why don't you ask him to chat in private? You are old classmates. It's normal to meet in private." Luo Xiaorui suggested.

"let me see."

In the afternoon, Xu Zan sent a message to Xie Kaiyan: I am busy today and will come back later tonight.

Xie Kaiyan replied: Got it, then I will have dinner outside with my classmates.

Putting down the phone, Xie Kaiyan suggested to his friend: "Xiao Yi, let's have barbecue tonight."

Zhou Yongyi flicked his brown bangs, and gave Xie Kaiyan a coquettish sideways look: "Are you treating me?"

He speaks a bit awkwardly, when Xie Kaiyan didn't know him, it was because of his characteristics that he noticed him, and suspected that he was his own kind, in fact, he was indeed.

"No, no money."

"Your boyfriend has it. He doesn't have the money to buy you a car, so he still has the money to treat you to dinner?" Zhou Yongyi squeezed Xie Kaiyan's waist, "If you lose some flesh, it won't feel good."

Xie Kaiyan was ticklish, twisted his waist to avoid his hand: "Okay, okay, I'll invite you this time, and you'll invite me next time."

After the meal, Zhou Yongyi was going to work: "If you're not in a hurry to go back, come and play with me at the Starry Sky? Didn't you say you wanted to go and have a look?"

Xie Kaiyan hesitated: "Isn't your place a membership system?"

"Yeah, you can't get in if you go alone, but I can take you in."

"Is this okay? Does your boss know that he won't talk about you?" Xie Kaiyan remembered that Zhou Yongyi had told him that their shop was a high-end club, the boss had a lot of background, and the customers all had certain status.

"Our boss said that we can take our classmates to play. We are college students, and we are not some socially educated people."

"Well, then I'll go with you to see the world."

Pushing open the door of the box on the second floor of the restaurant, Xu Zan saw that Xiang Xiang was sleeping on the sofa. He didn't wake him up, and walked lightly to the sofa next to him. After sitting down, he poured himself a glass of water, and then Looking down at the lively dining hall downstairs.

The wall of this box is one-way glass, the outside cannot see the inside, but the inside can see the outside.

Xu Zan remembered that last night in Lan Tianran's car, Lan Tianran watched the night scene outside through the car window, the situation was very similar to now.

They are very similar to the lyrics: loneliness is a carnival for one person, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

Inside the glass is a carnival of one person, and outside the glass is the loneliness of a group of people.

Xu Zan raised his glass, respecting himself and the people outside.

After two rounds of diners, Xiang Xiang woke up. He lazily muttered: "Brother, why didn't you call me when you came."

Xu Zan still looked downstairs: "It's not in a hurry anyway."

"Didn't you say there is something important?" Xiang Xiang sat up, holding his face and yawning.

"It's nothing important, it just needs to be treated with caution."

"I know, I know, I must be cautious." Xiang Xiang turned on the floor lamp beside the sofa, and under the light, his diamond earrings shone brightly.

Xu Zan leaned back into the sofa, avoiding the direct light of the desk lamp.

"Do you remember Wang Kejiu?"

Xiang Xiang pulled his playful short hair, frowned and thought: "That grandson of the old Wang's family who can pretend? After his family had an accident, did he go abroad?"

Xiang Xiang didn't know the grievances between Xu Zan and Wang Kejiu, but he knew Wang Kejiu because they were both rich second generations and their circles intersected.

Xu Zan met Xiang Xiang when he was searching for a side door in Yazhou after dropping out of school and leaving Mingcheng.

Xiang Xiang was still a fool back then, Xu Zan originally thought him a fool, but later found out that his family had a background and he couldn't afford to mess with him, so he had to let this big fish go.

But once Silly Baitian sticks to him, he can't get rid of it. You are willing to let him go, but he won't let you go.

Later, the two got to know each other well and became friends.

When Xu Zan returned to Mingcheng, Xiang Xiang also followed him, saying that the two of them would do a big business together.

——Then the two partnered to open a few restaurants. It was definitely not a big business, but Xiang Xiang's family was very satisfied and very supportive.

After that, Xiang went to continue to open other stores, Xu Zan didn't toss with him anymore, but went to start a company.

"It's him. Help me find out if he has returned to China, keep a low profile and don't attract attention." Xu Zan urged.

"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter. But why ask about him?"

"I want to know his recent situation." Xu Zan looked out of the glass, "Is this place newly renovated?"

"No!" Xiang Xiang was immediately distracted, forgot about Wang Kejiu, and started arguing with Xu Zan about the decoration, "Look at you, I don't even remember what my store manager is, so I told you to come and see him often." Look, they always say they are busy..."

"No, I think you are busier. I called you several times, but you were sleeping."

"..." Xiang Xiang's nightlife is too rich, so he often catches up on sleep during the day.

Now that people are awake, they can eat, and the two chat about their current situation while eating.

Xu Zan talked about Hengsheng wanting to buy their company, remembering that he had to ask Lan Tianran to come out for a chat, so he said, "Recommend me a more elegant place."

Because Xu Zan was just talking about the company, Xiang Xiang asked, "Do you want to discuss business with someone? Is the sky full of stars?"

Mantianxing is a high-end club, opened by Xiang Xiang, under the suggestion of Xu Zan.

Xu Zan said this: Provide a social place for people in your circle, which can not only develop contacts but also make money, killing two birds with one stone.

However, although Xu Zan was optimistic about this business, he did not invest in it. He said that he could not contribute much to this business, so he would not take advantage of it.

Xu Zan shook his head: "Be quiet."

He felt that Lan Tianran's autistic people preferred quiet places.

"The stars all over the sky are very quiet." But Xiang Xiang still thought of something else for him, "The landscape and countryside?"

Shanshui Tianyuan is a characteristic hotel, built between mountains and rivers, and the houses are all rural farmhouses - just the appearance is so, but the inside is still very luxurious. If you really let the guests experience the authentic rural life, there will probably be no guests.

"It's too far. Ask for the city."

Shanshui Tianyuan is located at the foot of Fuyun Mountain in the outskirts of the city. It takes two hours to drive there from the city. It is fine for a weekend vacation, but it is not convenient to go there to discuss matters.

"Then Longbridge Villa."

Long Bridge Villa is also a hotel, a garden house built at the beginning of the last century, quite exotic.

Xu Zan nodded, the environment there is good, and the food tastes good.

During the meal, Xu Zan's cell phone lighted up, and it was a message from Xie Kaiyan.

He said that he was reading in the library and would live in school tonight, so he would not go home.

Xiang Xiang teased: "What's wrong? Your little boyfriend is urging you to go home?"

"No, he lives on campus today. He is now a junior, and the curriculum is tight, so he has to study hard."

"It's not easy for a student. Take him out for dinner when you have time, don't cover him so tightly."

"He's not ready to come out yet, let's talk about it later."

"Tsk tsk..." Xiang Xiang shook his head, "Brother, your little boyfriend is giving himself a way out - he still wants to be a 'normal person', you have to be prepared to fight."

Xu Zan didn't take it seriously: "Isn't it good to be a 'normal person', I won't stop him."

The author has something to say: ^_^ I saw in the comments that a girl asked if Lan always had the same feelings as Si Mi.

no.

Thinking has no emotional "thread".

Lan always has a problem with the wiring, just like when you press the switch in the bedroom, the light in the living room turns on.
