gentle reunion

Lan Tianran got out of the car: "Let's just drive a car, your car parks here, take my car, okay?"

Xu Zan: "Okay."

After getting in the car, Song Minmin showed Xu Zan the designer bag Lan Tianran bought her.

Xu Zan complimented a few words politely.

Lan Tianran's friend lives in the suburbs. The house occupies a large area, with a large yard in the front and back. The house is not an ordinary house, but a modern building with a lot of glass.

Song Minmin introduced: "This house was specially designed by a famous designer. It is said that the temperature in the house is high enough without turning on the air conditioner in winter, and it will not be cold at all."

Xu Zan: "It's good to not use the air conditioner in winter, but now it's summer, do I have to double the air conditioner?"

Song Minmin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "You immediately saw the essence of the matter: the biggest advantage may also be the biggest disadvantage."

Lan Tianran: "No. The reason why you don't need to turn on the air conditioner in winter is because the interior uses a special design that absorbs light and heat. In summer, just pay attention to avoiding light and heat insulation, so it won't be too hot."

"Oh, you two think too much, I didn't expect to learn about this kind of technical thing." Song Minmin said.

Xu Zan was very willing to have something in common with Lan Tianran, so he smiled at Lan Tianran.

The car made a half circle around the fence and drove into the backyard.

Xu Zan looked at the main house. The building is very modern and beautiful. The glass facades are located in the direction where the sun will not shine. Not stuffy.

After entering the house, I found that it was indeed not hot. The air conditioner was not turned on in the house, only the electric fan was turned on, but it was enough.

The first floor of the house is open, very transparent, and it looks very spacious.

"Coming? Come and eat watermelon!" a girl in a loose cotton dress called to them from across the room.

"That's the hostess here, Xiaotao." Lan Tianran introduced to Xu Zan, "The man next to him is his husband, named Li Yintian, the one next to him wearing a shirt is named Tang Ju, and the one wearing short sleeves is named Fang Peilin."

In other words, apart from the owner of the house, there are a total of four friends who came here to play today—including Xu Zan, five of them.

"Xiao Tao, don't eat, first look at the handsome guy, the one with abs." Song Minmin shouted.

Xiaotao cooperated very well, immediately dropped the watermelon and ran over here: "Here we come!"

Her husband shouted from behind: "Be careful, I'm still here!"

Xiaotao: "Husband, don't worry, you will always be the most handsome in my heart!"

"—but not in the eyes." Tang Ju added leisurely.

Li Yintian broke off a melon rind and hit him.

"Wow, Xu Zan, you are more handsome in real life than the photos on the Internet!" Xiao Tao acted like a nympho.

Xu Zan said modestly, "Wherever it is, your husband is still handsome."

"You're giving me face like this? I'm sure you are my friend." Li Yintian shouted from the other end.

Everyone gathered around to eat melons, and got to know each other while eating—mainly Xu Zan and the others got to know each other.

Tang Ju, Fang Peilin, and Song Minmin were partners of Lanranran in its early days, while Li Yintian and Xiaotao joined later.

Lan Tianran gave them certain shares, so when he sold the company later, everyone got a lot of money.

Now everyone is working on a new business.

Tang Ju is engaged in the Internet music industry: "Zuo Liang, I don't know if you have heard of it."

Zuoliang is a music software, because of its late start, its market share is not large.

Xu Zan: "I have installed a beam on my mobile phone. It's a very good product. I didn't expect to meet the founder here. I have admired it for a long time."

There are two founders of Raoliang, one is Tang Ju, and the other is Kong Xichen—a singer, not particularly popular, but also has a certain reputation, so when it comes to Raoliang, generally everyone knows Kong Xichen.

Tang Ju politely said: "I also use Xing Zhe, I think it is interesting and easy to use, you have great ideas."

Li Yintian said: "You can cooperate, music and sports are like beer and fried chicken, a natural match."

Song Minmin also encouraged Xu Zan: "Tang Ju's company is about to become an enterprise supported by the city, and you will definitely not lose money by cooperating with them."

In fact, according to the current development momentum, Xingzhe's rising speed is very fast, which cannot be compared with Zouliang, and Xingzhe is far ahead of other competing products in its own industry, which is also unmatched by Zouliang.

Tang Ju: "I just went to attend an entrepreneurial enterprise conference, and the government asked us to cooperate with publicity."

Song Minmin continued to blow rainbow farts for him: "It's not an ordinary publicity. It will be on national TV at the meeting. This is a free advertisement. People can't buy it even if they want to."

Xu Zan said with a smile: "I know that meeting, I have to go too, those pre-conference promotions, I also have to participate in the recording."

It was the meeting that Yue Zhi asked him to attend.

He unconsciously let out a sigh.

Song Minmin looked at him: "It's a good thing to be on TV, why aren't you happy?"

Xu Zan reflexively showed a more "real" smile: "No, I just don't like standing in front of the camera."

Fang Peilin expressed that he felt the same way: "I was also nervous when I saw the camera, and then I found a way that works, drink a glass of wine beforehand..."

Song Minmin interrupted him: "Don't trust him, once he was drunk and fell asleep, and made his assistant cry."

Fang Peilin defended: "I gave him a raise after waking up, and he immediately laughed."

Everyone laughed too.

Xu Zan said with a smile: "Thank you for your camera overcoming method, and thank you for your help before."

The latter refers to the incident where Fang Peilin helped find the private detective who secretly took pictures.

"You're welcome." Fang Peilin said, "My 'Eating out' applet is really useful, shall I share it with you?"

What?Xu Zan was confused, but still responded: "Okay."

Fang Peilin: "In the future, you can search for whatever you want to eat."

Xu Zan: Huh?

After a while, Xu Zan understood what was going on—"Xiadianzi" is a small software for accurately searching restaurants.

This is to tell him to order takeaway to have enough food and clothing, and not to bother Lan Tianran at every turn.

Lan Tianran was very interested in that little thing: "Share it with me too."

"I'll help you install it." Fang Peilin directly took Lan Tianran's phone.

Xu Zan looked at them and thought, this kind of gadget is nothing special, I can do it too.

After eating melons, everyone was divided into two groups, one to play mahjong and the other to play games.

Lan Tianran knows how to play mahjong. He said: "As long as it is a game with clear rules, it is not difficult to play."

Xu Zan can also play mahjong, but he didn't get a seat, so he could only play games.

They didn't play these two games all the time, and later they played many other games.

Xu Zan is a player, he knows everything and is good at everything.

"Xu Zan is fine, he can talk, and he can play with everything. Friends gathering with him must be very lively." Xiaotao said to Song Minmin.

Song Minmin nodded: "He is very powerful, he is familiar with Xia Libaren and Yangchun Baixue."

It's almost time to have dinner.

Dinner is an outdoor BBQ.

Lan Tianran: "When the two of them were studying abroad, they were conquered by the local BBQ culture."

Xu Zan said with a smile: "Their craftsmanship must be very good, we are lucky."

Lan Tianran shook his head: "Tonight is skewers, and their level of skewers is not good, so let's do it ourselves."

"Huh? They are only busy eating abroad, not learning technology?"

"No." Lan Tianran said, "BBQ in foreign countries is different from BBQ in China."

He explained very seriously: "BBQ is simpler, almost like fumigation, like cooking steamed dishes. It does not require high heat, but it takes a long time; domestic barbecue is more difficult, because it is grilled on open fire. Although it is cooked quickly, it is easy to cook. It's easy to burn."

"Oh, you mean this." Xu Zan said with a smile, "Grilled skewers are actually very simple, just turn them frequently."

Xu Zan didn’t just talk about it, grilling skewers is really easy for him, he can cook a lot at a time, his hands are quick and his eyes are sharp, all kinds of skewers are subdued in his hands, and they are roasted just right, basically he is alone can supply everyone's needs.

But after he roasted for a while, Lan Tianran asked him to give way to others: "Let them play too, don't engage in monopoly."

Xu Zan retreated to the second line and turned into a party of enjoyment, sitting and waiting for food.

At this time, Li Yintian asked him: "I heard from Tian Tian that you are looking for an office? What kind of office are you looking for?"

Xu Zan: "There are no special requirements, as long as the transportation is convenient, the environment is comfortable, and the best price is cheap."

"A friend of mine rented a floor in Long Yuen Building, and now he wants to transfer it out. Are you interested in going to see it?"

Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran: "Longyuan Building is opposite Hengsheng, isn't it?"

This geographical location is also great, did he hear correctly?

Lan Tianran nodded: "Diagonally opposite."

Xu Zan turned to Li Yintian: "I'm very interested, when is it convenient to see it?"

"I'll give you his contact information, and you can make an appointment with him directly."

"OK, thanks."

Seeing that their chat had come to an end, Xiaotao shouted: "Don't just talk about it, come and help me, I'm burnt!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Yintian hurried to help.

Others also leaned over to add to the chaos.

Xu Zan, an idler, retreated to a further distance, watching them work leisurely.

Several skewers of barbecue were suddenly lit, and flames came out, and everyone was in a hurry.

Xu Zan was overjoyed.

Song Minmin was lazy and quietly slipped away from the barbecue stand. She walked up to Xu Zan and sat down next to him, asking him, "Have you settled the matter at home?"

Xu Zan smiled and said, "It's resolved."

"That's good. Although you are a person who relies on real skills to make a living, reputation is also very important." Song Minmin said, "It is natural to say that many times, when others invest in an entrepreneur, they don't just invest in their current work. , but also to invest in him.”

"Thank you." Xu Zan said sincerely.

"You're welcome. I wrote an article about 'Walker' and 'Arya', do you mind if I post it online?"

"What are you writing this for?"

"Appointment, I have money to take it."

"Oh, that's it. As long as my personal information is not involved." Xu Zan said with a smile, "Actually, if you don't tell me, just send it directly, I can't do anything about it."

"That's not good, we know each other so well, we must say hello."

"After sending it, send me a link to see?"

"Okay."

After a while, Lan Tianran brought over a plate of barbecue, and Song Minmin looked at it: "Why are they all vegetarian dishes? I want to eat meat!"

She ran away.

"I just want to eat vegetables." Xu Zan took the plate and put it on the table, then pulled away the chair next to him, "Shall we eat together?"

Lan Tianran sat down, glanced at the grill, and said in a low voice, "The meat was burnt, so I didn't take it."

Xu Zan laughed and asked, "Do you want to eat meat? I'll roast it."

"No, eat vegetables, healthy."

"Have you ever eaten seafood barbecue?" Xu Zan found a topic.

"Grilled fish?"

"It's okay, but besides fish, there are many other types of seafood."

Xu Zan talked about the seafood barbecue in Yazhou.

Fresh scallops are put on the barbed wire, and the shells will bounce off after being heated. The scallops tremble and the juice boils, which makes people salivate.

"Seafood is more difficult to grill than ordinary barbecue." Xu Zan said, "If you bake it for a long time, the taste will be dry, and if you don't bake it for a long time, it will not kill bacteria."

Lan Tianran: "It's better not to eat raw seafood."

"Well, I haven't eaten for a long time."

After eating the vegetables, Xu Zan removed the plate and went to fetch two drinks. He faced Lan Tianran and said, "I want to ask you something."

Lan Tianran nodded: "You say."

"Why do you go shopping with Song Minmin and buy her a bag?"

"I asked her to do me a favor before."

"Oh, I got it." Xu Zan said, "I can help you too, without you having to buy me a bag."

Lan Tianran smiled: "Okay, then I will come to you when I have something to do."

While speaking, he put his arms on the table.

"Don't move." Xu Zan suddenly held Lan Tianran's hand.

"what happened?"

"It's covered in sauce."

When the two of them ate barbecue just now, some sauce dripped on the table.

Xu Zan wiped Lan Tianran's arm with a tissue.

"I'll do it myself." Lan Tianran wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xu Zan squeezed it tightly: "Don't move, it will be fine soon."

"Minmin, some people on the Internet say Xu Zan is gay, is he really?" Tang Ju asked.

Song Minmin refused to answer: "I don't gossip behind people's backs."

"It's not gossiping, look, he is holding Tianran's hand and touching it." Tang Ju gestured to Xu Zan and Lan Tianran with his eyes.

"Ah?" Song Minmin turned to look at Xu Zan and Lan Tianran, she didn't know what they were doing, but she said deliberately, "Probably they are looking at palmistry."

Tang Ju: "..."

Fang Peilin heard their conversation, but he didn't think about sexuality, but said enviously: "Xu Zan seems to know everything, he must be very good at picking up girls."

"It's not that they know how to pick up girls, it's that you are too nerdy." Xiaotao spoke for Xu Zan.

Li Yintian spoke for his wife: "That's right, it's useless for you to be jealous of others. Not only do you stay at home, it's strange that you can find a girlfriend."

Fang Peilin was speechless. Instead of arguing with them, he just rolled his eyes and admitted, "Yes, I'm an idiot. I don't deserve a girlfriend."

Xu Zan, who is "very good at picking up girls", was also gossiping about them. After wiping Lan Tianran's hands, he asked, "Is there anything going on between Song Minmin and Tang Ju or Fang Peilin?"

Lan Tianran: "You mean boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Xu Zan nodded.

Lan Tianran: "No, we are friends."

"Oh." Xu Zan felt deeply regretful.

Lan Tianran looked at him thoughtfully and then at Song Minmin.

Xu Zan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I don't like Song Minmin's type, so don't think too much about it."

Lan Tianran: "Oh."

Xu Zan: "..."

Xu Zan began to think more.

When he was studying, his Chinese scores were good and his comprehension ability was very strong, so he could analyze a lot of content with a modal particle.

——Lan Tianran suspects that he is interested in Song Minmin, but thinks he is embarrassed to admit it; or, Lan Tianran believes that he is not interested in Song Minmin, but wonders why he is nervous; or, maybe Lan Tianran suspects that he is interested in Tang Ju or Fang Peilin ...

Terrible!
