gentle reunion

On Monday, Xu Zan went to work in Long Yuen Building.

The new office has a lot of space, and now he has a separate office.

Like everyone else, when he arrived at the company, the first thing he did was to take out his personal belongings from the carton and start to arrange his office space.

After finishing it in half an hour, he poured himself a glass of water, walked to the window, and looked outside.

The straight-line distance between Long Yuen Building and Hengsheng is about 30 meters. From here, he can see the figures walking behind the glass windows of Hengsheng. I wonder if there is Lan Tianran among them.

At 12 noon, Luo Xiaorui appeared at the door of Xu Zan's office: "Brother Zan, are you going to eat?"

"You guys go, I have an appointment with Mr. Lan from Hengsheng."

"Oh, then I'll be leaving first." Luo Xiaorui walked towards the office, and then walked towards the elevator hall with a few colleagues who also planned to go out for dinner.

"Isn't Brother Zan with us?" A new colleague named Feifei asked.

"He's dating his old classmate." As soon as Luo Xiaorui finished speaking, he saw Xu Zan walking quickly towards the elevator.

Then he asked, "Boss Lan let you go?"

"No, I'm going to meet him now."

The elevator is here, let's go in together.

"Our elevator is slow, and the Hengsheng elevator on the opposite side goes up immediately, and then goes down again." Luo Xiaorui said.

Xu Zan: "There are also unpleasant ones, like the crystal sightseeing elevator, which is slower than ours."

Luo Xiaorui: "That's for sightseeing, how do you compare?"

Feifei: "I took Hengsheng's crystal elevator last Christmas. At that time, there was a Christmas tree reaching the sky in the building. The elevator rose from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree. It was so beautiful."

Xu Zan looked at her and smiled.

Seeing that he responded to her, Feifei started to talk about it again: "It will be Qixi Festival soon, Hengsheng probably has a new set, right? I have to go and see."

Xu Zan didn't answer, and other colleagues said: "It seems that there is no big move. This kind of small festival will not be as grand as Christmas and New Year."

The elevator reached the first floor, Xu Zan said, "I'll go first."

With a long leg, he stepped out of the elevator, and after a while, he left the lobby and went to the opposite building.

Walking into Hengsheng Building, Xu Zan looked around, the interior decoration was adjusted for Qixi Festival.

Lan Tianran came out of the elevator and saw Xu Zan standing in the hall looking around, so he walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Zan: "The Qixi Festival the day after tomorrow, your place will be decorated in pink."

Lan Tianran looked up and asked, "How are Xingzhe's preparations for the Qixi Festival?"

"It's almost there."

Xingzhe's Qixi Festival event is an online event, a small game for team building. Participants who complete the game can get a commemorative medal, and those who complete the game can get a physical souvenir.

The two walked out, Xu Zan asked, "Are you going on a business trip the day after tomorrow?"

"Should not."

"Then shall I go to your house for dinner?"

Lan Tianran looked at Xu Zan and said, "Okay."

Although the day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival, it is not impossible for friends to have dinner together on Qixi Festival.

After lunch, Xu Zan took Lan Tianran to sit in a coffee shop.

On the way, Lan Tianran received a message from Song Minmin, who said that she went to the clubhouse with her friends yesterday and saw Xie Kaiyan there.

Lan Tianran frowned slightly, for some reason, he didn't really want to see Xie Kaiyan's name.

He told Xu Zan the content of this message.

"What a coincidence." Xu Zan didn't want to hear Xie Kaiyan's name even more than Lan Tianran, thinking, Song Minmin was meddling too much.

Lan Tianran: "Let me ask her how Xie Kaiyan is doing now."

After sending the message, Song Minmin replied: I don't know, I just saw him from a distance, there were many people there, and when the crowd moved, he disappeared.

Now Xu Zan is furious, Song Minmin, what are you doing!Nothing happened, why did you specifically tell Lan Tianran?Didn't you mean to make me feel uncomfortable?

Song Minmin said again: I also saw Kong Xichen, he is not as good-looking in real life as on TV.

Lan Tianran frowned again, he didn't really want to see Kong Xichen's name either.

Because Song Minmin said that Kong Xichen and Xu Zan had an affair, he searched for Kong Xichen on the Internet, and then his mobile phone always pushed Kong Xichen's songs and news to him, which was so frequent that it made people uncomfortable.

Song Minmin: But he's a little more handsome than Xie Kaiyan.

Lan Tianran looked at the two names Xie Kaiyan and Kong Xichen on the screen of the mobile phone, and found one thing, the people referred to by these two names had one thing in common: they were Xu Zan's ex-boyfriend and the current scandal target.

He looked at Xu Zan, and subconsciously used that penetrating gaze again.

Xu Zan felt uneasy when he saw him: "What's wrong?"

Lan Tianran lowered her eyes: "It's okay, let's go back."

Song Minmin went to the Chu club, and now Xie Kaiyan works part-time there.

Xie Kaiyan's work in the Chuhui is different from that of Mantianxing. In Mantianxing, he mainly plays with them, while in the Chuhui, he mainly works as a "vase".

The guests in the clubhouse don't like entertainment, they are always talking about things, basically, the waiters just stand by and pretend to be still lifes, waiting for orders.

That day, when Song Minmin saw Xie Kaiyan, Xie Kaiyan also saw her and was shocked: Why are there Xu Zan's friends everywhere?

Xie Kaiyan quickly dodged behind a pot of lush green plants, and then slipped along the wall to the corridor, only to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the sound of high-heeled shoes came from the corner in front of him. He looked up at the person coming, only to find that another acquaintance came.

It was a girl with very long hair. Xie Kaiyan had been in the same car with her and had an impressive conversation.

He Wenyu also recognized Xie Kaiyan, she looked around, beckoned Xie Kaiyan to a corner and said, "Why are you here?"

"I work here, and I need to earn my own money to pay for my tuition." Xie Kaiyan had a vague expectation in his heart: seeing that he was so 'poor', would the other party return the original 20 to him?

He Wenyu didn't know what he was expecting, so he frowned and said, "Don't go out and talk about the previous things, it's not good for you."

"What happened before? Nothing happened to us before. Today is the first time we met." After the last baptism, Xie Kaiyan is no longer as "simple" as before.

"As long as you know."

Xie Kaiyan lowered his head slightly, and said with a pitiful expression: "Now I just want to work hard and earn money to study."

He Wenyu softened her heart and said, "If you don't do unnecessary things, I won't do unnecessary things either."

After speaking clearly, the two separated and went back to their own paths.

For the rest of that night, Xie Kaiyan didn't see Song Minmin again, but saw the long-haired girl again. She was with a man in a suit with a mustache. That man seemed to be having a bad day. Shunxin, his face smells bad.

Xie Kaiyan asked a colleague who had worked here for a long time: "Who is that man?"

The colleague thought for a while: "It seems to be the president of an investment bank."

Another colleague said: "Dongfeng Capital, 'Eat what takeaway' is what they invest in, and many projects they invest in are very successful."

"So amazing!" Xie Kaiyan pretended to listen with interest.

Later, Xie Kaiyan checked Dongfeng Capital on the Internet and found its official website.

Photos and profiles of the management team were posted on the official website. Xie Kaiyan found the man with the moustache. His name was Sun Zhe, and he was the vice president.

He Wenyu was not sure whether he should tell Sun Zhe about meeting Xie Kaiyan.

If you tell, Xie Kaiyan may lose his job; if you don't tell, Xie Kaiyan will have problems in the future...

"Let's go back." Sun Zhe said.

"Huh?" He Wenyu came back to his senses, "Oh, yes."

Sun Zhe looked at her: "What's the matter with you? You're absent-minded."

"No." He Wenyu smoothed her long hair, "Let's go back now? Shouldn't we wait?"

Sun Zhe frowned: "Mr. Li just sent me a message saying that he is busy and can't come."

He Wenyu complained: "Why did you say it now? We've all been waiting for so long."

The corner of Sun Zhe's mouth sank slightly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, he just wants me to wait."

"It's too much! I'm so mad!" He Wenyu firmly held Sun Zhe's hand.

Sun Zhe held the soft and slender hand in his palm, and his hard heart softened because of this softness: "Why are you angry?"

He Wenyu smiled sweetly: "I express my true emotions for you."

"You are getting more and more presumptuous." Sun Zhe's tone was not harsh, but also a little smiling.

"It's off-duty time, you can't manage me like a boss!"

"Who told you it's off work? It's overtime now."

"..." He Wenyu hit Sun Zhe with his fist.

When the two walked out, Sun Zhe looked in the direction of a crowd.

He Wenyu said to him in a joking tone: "Which beauty are you looking at?"

"Look at the star, Kong Xichen, he is a singer who cross-border ventures."

Sun Zhe noticed Kong Xichen because he was on the same show as Xu Zan. As for the fact that he sent Kong Xichen into the royal room seven years ago, he had long forgotten.

But it’s useless to remember, male college has changed, Kong Xichen is no longer the same as seven years ago, and he also changed his name and became a star. Most people would not associate him with the middle school student in school uniform back then.

"Oh, him, he's been very popular lately." He Wenyu said, "You don't think he and Xu Zan really have anything to do?"

"What? He's with Xu Zan?" Sun Zhe was taken aback. Xu Zan could do it, but he actually got involved with a celebrity.

He Wenyu: "I don't know, some people gossip online that he and Xu Zan have an unusual relationship."

"Oh." Sun Zhe wrote down the matter.

Kong Xichen didn't see Sun Zhe, he stayed in the crowd for a while, and sat down in a quiet place after satisfying everyone's curiosity about the singer.

After a while, when a waiter passed by him, he stopped him: "Hi, can you help me?"

The person who passed by was Xie Kaiyan. He was unexpectedly stopped by Kong Xichen, but he is well-trained, and he will not be overly excited when he sees a star, but he must have a more sincere smile and a gentler tone: "Hello, What do you need?"

"My phone is dead, do you have a power cord here?"

"Yes, just wait a moment."

After Xie Kaiyan came over with the power cord, Kong Xichen did not let him go, but chatted with him.

The two are about the same age (Kong Xichen is two years younger than Xie Kaiyan), and they chatted happily. After talking, Kong Xichen offered to exchange contact information with Xie Kaiyan.

After returning, Xie Kaiyan told Zhou Yongyi about it.

Zhou Yongyi was very jealous: "He actually gave you his contact information, you are so lucky! He has also been to the Starry Sky, he is quite nice, and chatted with me for a while, but that is to say, And then it's gone."

He remembered that he had talked about Xie Kaiyan with Kong Xichen, he kept Xie Kaiyan's advice in mind, and didn't mention anything about him and Xu Zan, but he said that Wang Ting liked Xie Kaiyan very much—he said that Wang Shao especially liked his friend , he really thinks so.

Back in the office, Xu Zan sent a message to Song Minmin: Did you meet Xie Kaiyan at the club yesterday?

Song Minmin: Yes, at the Chu Club, I am getting close to a big client. He often goes there, so I may go there often recently. Do you need to pay attention to Xie Kaiyan?

Xu Zan: No, I have nothing to do with him, just treat him as a stranger.

Song Minmin: Oh.

Xu Zan: So there is no need to mention him in front of Tianran, what do you think?

Song Minmin: All right.

Xu Zan felt that Song Minmin's attitude was perfunctory, but there was nothing he could do about her. She was only familiar with him, and Lan Tianran was a good friend. She couldn't control what she wanted to say to Lan Tianran.

On Lan Tianran's side, after he returned to the office, he first finished processing the documents on the table, and then called his assistant: "Is there anything else that needs to be dealt with today?"

"nothing now."

"When someone finds me later, push it until tomorrow." Lan Tianran was about to leave work early.

"Okay." The assistant felt that he should have nothing else to do, so he said, "Then I'll go out first."

"Wait a minute." Lan Tianran said, "I'd like to ask you a question: If a person doesn't like his friend's ex-boyfriend and current scandal partner, what are the possible reasons?"

Assistant: "He likes his friend?"

Lan Tianran: "Of course I like it, how can we become friends if I don't like it."

Assistant: "No, I mean, it's not about friendship, but love. He likes his friend, so he doesn't want his friend to be with others."

"..." Lan Tianran was stunned, like a computer poisoned, he fell into a state of silent confusion.

The assistant added: "But there is also jealousy in friendship, for example, some women will look down on the boyfriend of their best friend."

Lan Tianran recovered a little from the confusion: "Oh?"

"My girlfriend's girlfriends don't like me very much," the assistant said. "I'm pretty sure they're just friends, not Lily."

Lan Tianran thought about his relationship with Xu Zan, and he was sure that they were just friends.

He asked again: "Why doesn't your girlfriend's girlfriend like you? Is there a specific reason?"

"I don't think I'm good enough for my girlfriend. In her eyes, my girlfriend is a fairy in the sky, and I'm just a cowherd." It happened that Qixi Festival was about to come, so the assistant used the Qixi Festival as a metaphor for the occasion.

Lan Tianran nodded, thinking of herself as a "best friend". Xie Kaiyan is not worthy of Xu Zan, but Kong Xichen is good in all aspects, so he should be worthy...

He didn't continue to think about it, because he felt very uncomfortable after thinking about it for a while.

The assistant quit Lan Tianran's office. He thought Lan Tianran would come out soon, because the other party said he would leave early.

But after a long time, Lan Tianran still didn't come out.

The assistant thought to himself, probably Lan has always changed his mind, or the itinerary has changed.

Lan Tianran was in a daze in the office.

The shock was too great.

He felt that he probably liked Xu Zan as his assistant said, and...not because of his friends, but because he was not satisfied with just being friends.
