Jiang City, late autumn, 5:30 in the afternoon.
The sun was covered by the clouds at some point, and the sun was trapped in the thick clouds, struggling to reveal a few rays of afterglow.
Zheng Shu Yi lay on the table for a long time, cold sweat bursting out of her forehead.
The clear ringing of the mobile phone was particularly refreshing amidst the mechanical and dense keyboard sounds, pulling Zheng Shu Yi's consciousness out of the chaos.
"Hello, are you Zheng Shu Yi, reporter from Caijing Weekly?"
Zheng Shu Yi answered the phone lying on the table, holding his nerves up and speaking: "It's me, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm the president of Mingyu Bank. Assistant Chen Sheng, a month ago, your journal and Shi Yan Shi always made an appointment for an interview, and the original date was tomorrow, do you remember?"
This was not a good thing for the industry insiders at the time. After all, the bank's operating status was already in jeopardy. Some financial critics even changed their serious words, thinking that it was Shi Wenguang's use of half-baked subsidiaries for his son to play with. ticket.
However, after Shi Yan took over Mingyu Bank, he sharply resolved the bank's over-reliance on deposit and loan business, prominent risks and other problems, pointed at the risk management and control mechanism, and acted vigorously to turn things around.
The banquet at the age of 27 aroused the attention of the entire financial world, various honors came one after another, and interview invitations naturally also hit the hotline of the president's office of Mingyu Bank.
Despite his early fame, there are very few interviews and reports about him.
Zheng Shu Yi woke up instantly, and subconsciously straightened her back.
Of course she remembered it.
She had heard the name Shi Yan too many times in this period of time.
In the beginning, he was well-known in the industry because he suddenly appeared in the financial circle as the son of Shi Wenguang of Mingyu Group.
After returning from studying in Europe, he took over Mingyu Bank, a private commercial bank under Mingyu Group.
Even in the most mainstream media, it is difficult to get interview opportunities. If you can get a few words from him, it is enough to publish the most eye-catching pages.
But this time, it was an interview that the editor-in-chief of the magazine had spent a lot of time trying to get through the relationship with all parties.
When the editor-in-chief handed over this task to Zheng Shu Yi, the entire magazine was envious.
How much attention the name "Shi Yan" can attract in the media also means how much attention the reporters who interviewed him can get.
But now this phone call made Zheng Shu Yi's heart hang, and she asked cautiously: "Is there any change?
"I won't be free tomorrow."
"Maybe there will be no time in the next few days."
Chen Sheng said, "So if it's convenient for you, is it acceptable to postpone the interview to a week later??"
"No."
Finance and economics interviews pay attention to timeliness, wait a week for the interview, return to check and publish the manuscript, the day lily is cold.
"It really won't work after a week. See if you can spare some time? Telephone interviews are also possible!"
Chen Sheng: "I'm afraid this is really not possible. I can't disclose the specific work to you, but it does take a week at the earliest. Only then will I be free."
"Then tonight!" Zheng Shu Yi asked anxiously, "Are you free tonight? Just three hours, or two hours."
Zheng Shu Yi: "After that..."
Before Chen Sheng could answer, Zheng Shu Yi Gritting her teeth, she said, "One hour is fine! You just have to be flexible."
She has prepared for this interview for nearly a month, and she has a thorough understanding of the public financial dynamics in Shi Yan's hands, and she is counting on this year Earn fame with this manuscript.
After Chen Sheng was silent for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "There is always a more important banquet tonight. Maybe, I just said maybe, I might find some time in the middle. You see..."
"I'll wait!" Zheng Shu Yi said nothing Say yes and come down, "You give me the address, I can come and wait."
Before hanging up the phone, Chen Sheng emphasized again: "Miss Zheng, I can arrange a place for you, but I can't guarantee that there will always be time, and you may run away."
On the receiver there was only a mechanical "beep" After the sound of "beep" lingered in his ears for a long time, Zheng Shu Yi had to "boom" to lie back on the table, the tension in her mind slowly dissipated, followed by a feeling of melancholy.
It was supposed to be fun to be able to interview Shi Yan.
But the psychological sensitivity of the menstrual period was heightened to the extreme by the loss at this moment, and Zheng Shu Yi's mood was definitely not good, and even a little sad.
Today is her boyfriend Yue Xing Zhou's birthday.
It was their first birthday since they were together.
Yue Xing Zhou also specially prepared a restaurant and booked movie tickets to celebrate with her when she got off work.
Not only could she not be able to celebrate Yue Xing Zhou's birthday with now, but she had to drag her sick body to work, and she might even miss a trip.
Zheng Shu Yi turned her face around, closed her eyehims and took a few deep breaths, then immediately turned off the computer and began to pack her things.
Kong Nan felt a little unbelievable: "But then again, does your boyfriend have any objections?"
"What's your opinion on this kind of thing?" Zheng Shu Yi. After thinking for a while, she said, "He didn't say anything, he just expressed his understanding."
"Tsk, your boyfriend is too reasonable." Kong Nan said while turning off the computer, "It's not like my boyfriend, who clings to me." Now, if I dove him, no matter what the reason, he will definitely be angry with me."
In a trance, Zheng Shu Yi lost her mind for a moment.
With a "click", she felt a tingling pain in her fingers, and she pulled her hand away reflexively to avoid being pricked by the stapler.
But the sharp pain at the fingertips did not dissipate for a long time, and gradually spread to the heart.
Zheng Shu Yi held the documents in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, and was lost in front of the printer for a while.
"I'm off work." Kong Nan got up with her bag, and handed over a box of medicine, "I see you've finished your painkillers, take mine, and take some in advance, so you don't faint from the pain during the interview."
After finishing speaking, She leaned closer again and whispered, "If you mess up, some people who are eyeing you will die of joy."
Zheng Shu Yi didn't care to respond to Kong Nan's reminder at this time, her mind was full of the words "reasonable".
Yue Xing Zhou, are you being too "reasonable"?
Moreover, she just said that she was not feeling well, yet Yue Xing Zhou didn't even ask her what was wrong.
Once a certain idea is born, it will germinate in her heart irresistibly.
Zheng Shu Yi sat down at the work station in a daze, and after hesitating for a while holding the phone, she sent a message to Yue Xing Zhou.
Zheng Shu Yi: Are you unhappy?
Yue Xing Zhou:?
Yue Xing Zhou: No, I understand, work is important, and we will celebrate many birthdays together in the future.
Yue Xing Zhou: By the way, you said you are not feeling well, what's wrong? Are you sick?
Zheng Shu Yi let out a breath.
It seems that menstrual period is easy to be sensitive, and she thinks too much.
Zheng Shu Yi: It's nothing, just uncomfortable during menstruation TAT.
Yue Xing Zhou: I feel sorry for the baby.
Yue Xing Zhou: Where did you do the interview? I'll pick you up when it's over.
-The address given by Chen Sheng was Warner Manor in the western suburbs.
It was rush hour, and there was a traffic jam on the road. Enduring the abdominal pain, Zheng Shu Yi took a subway bus and took a taxi along the way. It took an hour to reach the destination.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't upset. Along the way, she didn't know how many times she silently scolded Shi Yan.
But the place Chen Sheng arranged for her was the rest area above the banquet hall. This place is spacious, gorgeous, but empty, enough to magnify the loneliness of a stranger a hundred times.
Zheng Shu Yi sat on the sofa, her legs dangling with the ticking of the wall clock, looking around over and over again, trying not to fall asleep.
However, the waiting time was too long. She drooped her head like a chicken pecking rice a few times and almost fell asleep, until there was a sound of pushing the door, Zheng Shu Yi sat up straight in shock, raised her head and looked at the door.
Under the direct light, a man drove in, as the light became brighter and brighter.
Zheng Shu Yi saw the person coming, and was discouraged all of a sudden.
It wasn't Shi Yan who came, but his brother-in- law Qin Xiaoming, who is now the second in command of Mingyu Group.
This person had been interviewed by Zheng Shu Yi several times, so the two could be regarded as acquaintances.
Qin Xiaoming also caught a glimpse of Zheng Shu Yi when he came in.
At first she straightened her back abruptly, and her bright eyes could be seen to be extremely excited even in the dark.
But the moment they met his eyes, they dimmed again, and even the whole person felt a little depressed.
Qin Xiaoming paused, took the phone aside and covered it, "Why are you here?"
Zheng Shu Yi replied truthfully: "Come and wait for CEO Shi, there is an interview today."
Qin Xiaoming looked her up and down, and then looked a few more times She turned pale for a second, and didn't say much, just muttered "It's so late" and left.
Zheng Shu Yi sat for another two hours, as long as two long nights.
She doesn't know when it started to rain. outside the window, pattering against the leaves, making a bleak "rustling" sound.
Occasionally, there are occasional movements from the banquet downstairs. Although it is small, it can be expected to be lively.
With such a comparison, Zheng Shu Yi felt that she was even more miserable.
Just when she couldn't bear the drowsiness and her eyelids were fighting up and down, the phone finally rang.
The crisp ringing of the bell gave rise to an ominous premonition in the empty house.
"Miss Zheng, I'm sorry, the banquet here is over, Mr. Shi has other things to do, so..."
Sure enough.
Zheng Shu Yi was silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth and saying, "I see, thank you."
This interview was still too late.
The moment Zheng Shu Yi stood up, she felt dizzy in her head, and she leaned on the sofa for a while before stepping on her high heels and getting into the elevator.
When she got outside the gate of Warner Manor, as expected, the rain had already sealed the gate.
The autumn leaves and the cold wind slapped Zheng Shu Yi's legs like a knife.
She didn't expect to stay outside for a long time today. She was wearing a daily OL suit skirt, which looked serious and serious, but the thin layer of transparent stockings was just for etiquette, and it was not worth the trouble at all.
The legs under the coat were exposed, and the skirt could barely cover the knees. In this cold wind, it became more eye-catching than the luxury car at the door.
Gradually, people came out, Zheng Shu Yi stepped aside, and when she turned her head to look, she found that many people had been interviewed by her.
From the looks of it, this is a reception in the financial world.
Zheng Shu Yi subconsciously wanted to see if it was possible to meet Shi Yan again.
But to her surprise, she didn't know what he looked like.
Shi Yan's style is very low-key, and he rarely appears in front of the public. When Zheng Shu Yi was preparing materials, she searched the Internet, and only saw his unclear figure in some large panoramas, but there were no serious portraits.
After a while, a female CFO of an Internet finance company had a double-dip relationship with Zheng Shu Yi. Seeing her standing here pitifully waiting for the bus, she offered to take her home, but Zheng Shu Yi refused.
Just now Yue Xing Zhou said that he would come to pick her up.
It was eleven o'clock sharp, an hour before his birthday passed.
She thought, no matter what, she still had to say "Happy Birthday" to him personally.
The parking gallery on the first floor is spacious and clean, and the guests' cars drove away one after another, leaving faint taillights behind.
Not long after, there were not many people left in the banquet hall.
"Reporter Zheng?" A man stepped forward.
Zheng Shu Yi glanced back, she was an executive of a certain capital company whom she had only met once, but usually chatted with her on WeChat.
The man approached with a smile, leaned very close, and said drunkenly: "Are you alone? Let me take you home."
This man usually looks like a human being when he appears in social situations, but now he is He didn't even exchange pleasantries, and his thoughts were clearly revealed.
Zheng Shu Yi: "Thank you, no need."
The man moved closer and took her arm, "Let's go, it's hard to take a taxi under such heavy rain."
Zheng Shu Yi frowned and pushed his hand away, "No need, thank you, My boyfriend will be here later."
Hearing the word "boyfriend", the man looked at Zheng Shu Yi, and when he looked at her, he knew that what she said was not an excuse, so he turned around and left without saying a word.
Next, another young man made the same invitation to her.
This is also an acquaintance, but Zheng Shu Yi knows that he is a rich second generation who really plays with tickets.
It seems that today is not a serious financial reception.
After dismissing that person with the same emphasis on "boyfriend", Zheng Shu Yi stood by the wall.
Originally, she felt uncomfortable when she was spoiled by the time today, and when encountering such things one after another, there was an unknown fire in her chest.
The scene of her standing in the cold wind happened to fall into the eyes of Qin Xiaoming who walked out of the banquet hall.
Qin Xiaoming was moved with compassion, and turned to Shi Yan and said, "Isn't this Zheng Shu Yi? The little girl was so pitiful waiting for you at night. There are so many people here, and it's not convenient for me. Find a chance to help send one away. Let's go.
"Shi Yan squinted at the past, and the woman's cashmere scarf was wrapped several times, wrapped up to her chin, making the face on it look as big as a palm.
Under the bright cold light, her face was slightly pale, and the tip of her nose was also red from the cold, but she still couldn't hide her delicate features, almond eyes and red lips, bright and delicate, like a finely carved porcelain doll, standing there, It has a pitiful taste.
--When Zheng Shu Yi looked up from the phone, a black Bentley slowly stopped in front of her.
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Zheng Shu Yi turned her head and made eye contact with the man walking towards her for a moment.
The man's eyes paused for a while, the crystal chandelier above his head cast a cold light on his gold-wire mirror frame, and the snow chain swayed slightly on his cheek.
"Reporter Zheng?" He stopped, and the arc of the arms outlined by the suit showed a bit of alienation, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Zheng Shu Yi had never seen this man before.
But she was thinking, why are the rich second generations all so casual now.
"No, thank you."
The eyes behind the lens are decorated with bright lights, and the end of the eye is raised up. It should be a frivolous look, but it reveals a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.
So, under the biting cold wind, Zheng Shu Yi met his gaze and added: "My boyfriend will pick me up right away." Word by word, the word "boyfriend" was emphasized, and the meaning of the subtext was: I have a man friends of people.
The corners of Shi Yan's mouth formed an almost indiscernible icy arc, he put one hand in his pocket, and walked away.
The parking officer opened the door, he bowed into the car, and the Bentley sped away.
The taillights of the car formed a hazy circle of light in the rain curtain and gradually disappeared.
Zheng Shu Yi snorted coldly, and opened her jaw.
The rain stopped, but the banquet hall was also empty.
The parking attendant and the doorman checked the surrounding facilities, and the cleaning staff drew water marks on the ground with a mop. A gust of cold wind blew over, rolled up a few dead leaves and floated to Zheng Shu Yi's feet.
She tightened her scarf again, and in this bleak night, she didn't know whether to be angry with that Shi Yan whom she had never met or Yue Xing Zhou.
Finally, when the wall clock struck twelve o'clock, a familiar car slowly drove over and stopped at the door, and then Yue Xing Zhou got out of the car in the rain.
Before he could speak, Zheng Shu Yi ran over in the rain, threw himself into his arms, and acted like a spoiled child while hugging his arms.
"I'm almost freezing to death!"
Yue Xing Zhou persuaded her to get in the car, put on the seat belt and rub her hair sideways, "I'm sorry, it was raining so hard that I didn't see the side of the road clearly, and I took the wrong fork in the road. It took a long time to turn around."
Hearing Yue Xing Zhou's gentle voice, Zheng Shu Yi's grievance quickly disappeared, and instead, the guilt towards him surged up, and she said softly: "I just said it casually., how are you doing today? Are you happy?"
Yue Xing Zhou held the steering wheel and sighed, "How can I be happy even if my girlfriend doesn't accompany me?"
"I'm sorry." Zheng Shu Yi twisted her upper body and smiled Looking at him anxiously, "Who is celebrating your birthday with you today?"
Yue Xing Zhou opened his mouth and was about to speak when Zheng Shuy Yi rushed to ask, "Is that Xu Feng?"
"Yeah."
Xu Feng is Yue Xing Zhou's college roommate.
They have been in touch after graduation, and the relationship is very good.
"He's really getting more and more coquettish."
Zheng Shu Yi said.
"Huh?" Yue Xing Zhou glanced sideways at her, "Why do you say that?"
"I used to think he was a straight man of steel, but I didn't expect to use perfume now."
Zheng Shu Yi suddenly moved closer to Yue Xing Zhou's neck and took a few sips, "It has a faint and special smell, and the taste is good. Next time, help me ask What kind of perfume, I think it should be suitable for me to use."
"Yeah." Yue Xing Zhou nodded lightly, and changed the subject, "How was the interview today?"
When she was in front of her boyfriend, Zheng Shu Yi didn't want to wear it any more, and was annoyed Said: "Who is it? Really, the original appointment interview said that the pigeons were pigeons. I waited eagerly tonight, but he still didn't show a single face."
"Don't be angry." Yue Xing Zhou freed a hand, and rubbed Zheng Shu Yi's hair, "Capitalists are inhumane, don't be as knowledgeable as them."
"Hey." Zheng Shu Yi held her hair, feeling a little unhappy, "Why are you rubbing my hair all the time today? It's so annoying."
Back at home, Zheng Shu Yi didn't even have the strength to take a shower, nor was she in a hurry to remove her makeup. She kicked off her high heels and spread out on the sofa. Her eyes couldn't hold her anymore, and her consciousness was quickly fading away.When she was in front of her boyfriend, Zheng Shu Yi didn't want to wear it any more, and was annoyed Said: "Who is it?

Back at home, Zheng Shu Yi didn't even have the strength to take a shower, nor was she in a hurry to remove her makeup. She kicked off her high heels and spread out on the sofa. Her eyes couldn't hold her anymore, and herHowever, at the moment when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't confirmed whether Yue Xing Zhou had arrived home safely, so she immediately got out of bed with a carp.
The phone was not found in the jacket bag. Zheng Shu Yi touched the shoulder bag again, but still couldn't find it. Finally, she simply poured out everything in the bag, but still didn't see the phone.
Zheng Shu Yi sat on the sofa and recalled what happened tonight. According to her trajectory, the phone could not have been stolen.
Then, either she forgot it at Warner Hills, or she forgot it in Yue Xing Zhou's car.
The mobile phone is too important to Zheng Shu Yi's life, and there is no way to rest assured if she doesn't find it, so she immediately pulls out the iPad to locate the mobile phone.
A few minutes later, she saw that the red dots on the map became more and more clear, but her mind became more and more confused.
Her mobile phone actually appeared in Jiangcheng No. 1 People's Hospital at this time.
Really stolen?
Impossible, she obviously got into Yue Xing Zhou's car with her mobile phone, and she didn't go anywhere during that time.
The only explanation now is that she forgot her mobile phone in Yue Xing Zhou's car, and Yue Xing Zhou went to the hospital right now.
But why did Yue Xing Zhou go to the hospital at this time?
His sudden illness? Or was there a car accident?
Zheng Shu Yi didn't dare to think about it, got up immediately, changed a pair of pants and went out.
It was still windy and windy outside, and a car was speeding past on the road. Zheng Shu Yi didn't have a mobile phone and couldn't hail a car online She stood in the cold wind for more than 20minutes before waiting for a car.
The city hospital was still brightly lit in the middle of the night, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air with the cold wind and rain.
Zheng Shu Yi opened the car door, and the rain hit her face, covering her face.
Holding an umbrella, she casually wiped her face, looked around, and saw Yue Xing Zhou's car at a glance.
But Yue Xing Zhou was not in the car, and Zheng Shu Yi didn't know how she would find Yue Xing Zhou in such a big hospital without a mobile phone.
The rain was so heavy that the umbrella couldn't cover it. Zheng Shu Yi's abdominal discomfort became more and more serious. Her back was sweating, and her feet were sloppy. She walked towards the outpatient building step by step. difficult.
Suddenly, she stepped on a puddle, staggered, and then fell to the side.Fortunately, there was a car parked next to her.
Although she was a little hurt when she fell, she didn't fall on the ground full of water.
Zheng Shu Yi stood up slowly, looked down at the car logo, and immediately bounced away quickly.
This is a Rolls-Royce with serial number plates, which is not to be messed with. Those who don't know it think she is touching.
Rubbing her wrists, Zheng Shu Yi continued to walk forward while supporting the crumbling umbrella.
However, when she was less than ten meters away from the outpatient building, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
Although the rain was heavy, she could still clearly recognize that the man who walked out slowly was her boyfriend.
But her boyfriend was holding a woman in his arms at this time.
The woman was still wearing Yue Xing Zhou's coat.
That coat was bought by Zheng Shu Yi.
The thoughts in her head germinated wildly and grew into shape. There was only a membrane in front of the truth, but Zheng Shu Yi was still trying to comfort herself.
It should be just friends. Yue Xing Zhou has a good personality. It's normal to come to the hospital to see friends at night, and they don't have any close contact.
But in the next second, the woman hugged Yue Xing Zhou.
Yue Xing Zhou raised his hand and stroked her hair, with a helpless smile on his lips.
For a moment, Zheng Shu Yi felt that the raindrops pierced into her flesh and blood like ice picks, and it was so cold to the bone.
After hugging for a while, the woman raised her head, and Lihua looked at Yue Xing Zhou with rain.The two of them were so close that their breaths could intertwine.
From Zheng Shu Yi's distance, she could only see the woman opening her mouth to say something intermittently, while Yue Xing Zhou's expression seemed to become more and more unnatural.
Immediately, the woman stepped on her toes and kissed him.
Zheng Shu Yi closed her eyes abruptly as if seeing something dirty, and did not open them for a long time.
--Yue Xing Zhou, when I opened my eyes, you pushed her away!
--You push her away, and I will listen to your explanation!
She doesn't know how many seconds passed, Zheng Shu Yi frowned tightly, opened her eyes one by one, and the picture in front of her became clearer and clearer.
Not only did Yue Xing Zhou not push the woman away, he was still responding to her kiss.
His slender hands slowly raised up and hugged her waist.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems to annihilate the city.
The night sky was like a movie screen with the lights turned off, and many images of the past appeared in front of Zheng Shu Yi's eyes.
At first, she didn't like Yue Xing Zhou.
At that time, she was about to be in her senior year, and her roommates said that they found a junior student who was a lower grade was very handsome, so a few of them ran to the playground to look like paparazzi.
It's okay, not as exaggerated as they say.
Zheng Shu Yi thought so, and quickly forgot about this person.
But Yue Xing Zhou fell in love with Zheng Shu Yi at first sight.
For a twenty-year-old boy, his pursuit is always enthusiastic and straightforward. He sent flowers, confessed his love, and blatantly sang love songs to her at the party, which was full of vigor and vitality.
But Zheng Shu Yi didn't like this, she didn't want flowers, she didn't accept gifts, and when he sang, she turned around and left.
At that time, many people thought that Yue Xing Zhou would not last long, including Zheng Shu Yi, who thought that he was no different from those boys who were hot for three minutes.
But Zheng Shu Yi did not expect that Yue Xing Zhou would not give up on her until she graduated and entered a newspaper as an intern reporter.
After leaving the campus, Zheng Shu Yi has to get up early every day to select topics, grab clues, run around the financial street to do interviews, and stay up late at night to write press releases. With a pitiful internship salary, she is always worrying about projects worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions.
Unsuitability to social life caused Zheng Shu Yi to be depressed for a long time. At this time, Yue Xing Zhou became the only color in her life.
Zheng Shu Yi still remembers that she agreed to be Yue Xing Zhou's girlfriend on the phone that day, but Yue Xing Zhou, a silly boy, excitedly took a taxi from school to meet her, just for a legitimate hug.
In fact, most of her friends didn't understand Zheng Shu Yi. They said that besides his handsome face, what else could stand out about Yue Xing Zhou? The family conditions are mediocre, and the job prospects are not very promising. You can find better ones.
Zheng Shu Yi still remembers her answer at the time: I think he is very sincere! What a rare quality!
But why did people change so quickly?
The focus of her eyes was once again on the steps of the outpatient building. Several nurses who came out in a hurry showed envious smiles when they saw the passionate couple kissing.
What a good couple.
Overly reasonable is true.
The indifference is real.
The habit of rubbing your hair is real.
Only "Xu Feng" is fake, maybe even the faint perfume belongs to this woman.
Zheng Shu Yi felt that it was a joke to come to the hospital in the rain late at night.
Reason told her that she should not be an outsider at this time, and she should step up to defend her ownership.
But she couldn't move her legs, and she didn't want to stage a bloody drama in this crowded hospital.
Her self-respect for her identity did not allow her to make herself so embarrassed.
After looking at it quietly for a while, Zheng Shu Yi touched her face, her hands were covered with rainwater, She doesn't know if there were tears mixed in.
She walked towards Yue Xing Zhou's car, took off the bracelet that Yue Xing Zhou gave her, hung it firmly on the door handle, and turned to walk into the rain.
The rain was pouring down at night, and the thin silver chain was washed by the rain and was crumbling, but there were still icy spots of light.
It looked like Zheng Shu Yi's talking eyes, saying coldly: I have seen everything you do.
A gust of cold wind blows over, reminding the people standing at the door to leave.
Yue Xing Zhou looked at the curtain-like rain, and when he was hesitating whether to rush into the rain, Qin Lezhi took out the umbrella from her bag, opened it and raised it above his head.
After looking at each other, Qin Lezhi smiled, took his arm, and the two walked to the parking place together.
The two walked for several minutes at a distance of more than ten meters.
When they stood in front of the car, Yue Xing Zhou whispered: "Then... I'm home."
Qin Lezhi held his arm and did not let go, leaning her head on his chest, coquettishly said: "You stay with me for a while, I'm afraid that at dawn I will find that all this is a dream."
Yue Xingzhou licked the corners of his lips, not knowing where to put his eyes.
After a while, he still raised his arms and hugged Qin Lezhi's back The two of them looked extremely crowded under a lady's umbrella, and the night rain was pattering down on Qin Lezhi's neck, making her shiver from the cold, but she still didn't let go of her hand.
"Is it cold?"
Yue Xing Zhou asked.
Qin Lezhi hugged Yue Xing Zhou even tighter, "It won't be cold with you here."
"Well." Yue Xing Zhou said, "I really want to go back, and I will go to work tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Qin Lezhi let go of Yue Xing Zhou, when she looked up at him, there was misty water vapor in her eyes, and her whole body was so weak that it seemed that any heavier rain would melt her.
She hooked Yue Xing Zhou's little finger with her little finger and shook it gently, "Xing Zhou, I hope you will think about what I said today. I can give you what she can give you, and I can give you what she can't give you." After finishing
speaking, she let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "My little uncle is still waiting for me, so I'll go first."
Yue Xing Zhou watched Qin Lezhi get into a Rolls Royce, his eyes fixed on The street lamp above his head flickered, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
He turned and walked slowly towards his car.
In the night, his vision became blurred. He took out the car keys, pressed the unlock button, and reached out to pull the car door, but he felt something hard.
When he saw what it was, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his blood flowed backwards, his consciousness went blank for an instant, and his nerves were about to explode.
Three forty-five in the morning.
The rain should have stopped, and the whistle on the road was clear and piercing.Zheng Shu Yi lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, her mind was buzzing and chaotic, but her heart was empty, as if she had been emptied of oxygen.
After she came back, she was not idle, went to the utility room and took out a cardboard box, and put all the things Yue Xing Zhou gave her these days into it.
Some used ones could not be returned, so she made a list and put them in the box, intending to cash them all to him.
Including Song Lelan's concert tickets, which were originally intended to be seen by the two of them together, but now they can only return the other ticket money to him.
But at this moment, she just needs to wait quietly for Yue Xing Zhou to come to her.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
From Zheng Shu Yi's understanding of him, he must be covered in rain, standing pitifully outside the door, waiting to explain to her and beg her to forgive.
She even predicted the lines, and said, "Listen to me to explain", and then he would pull the corner of her clothes with red eyes, just like he did when he confessed to her.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shu Yi laughed to herself.
It felt like it was all a dream.
She didn't have much strength when she got up, but she still managed to show up in front of Yue Xing Zhou.
There was only one light on in the corridor, it was dim, but it was enough to illuminate Yue Xing Zhou's face clearly.
He was holding a blue lace umbrella in his hand,and his hair was limp, but clean, with no water stains on his body.
It was different from Zheng Shu Yi's imagination.
He arched his shoulders, lowered his head, raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Shu Yi, then lowered his eyes immediately.
"Shu Yi..."
Zheng Shu Yi raised her chin, and was about to say the rehearsed words of un forgiveness, when she heard the other side say: "Let's break up."
Zheng Shu Yi: "...?"
"I love you very much, I also really want to be with you forever, but this kind of life is too tiring, and I can never see where the nodes are. It is a luxury for me to buy a small house in this city. I..."
"Wait a minute." Zheng Shu Yi, When she came back to her senses, she interrupted him quickly, "What do you mean?"
"Book meaning." He frowned, gritted his teeth, and said what was in his heart, "We all have to be realistic! Her family is not ordinary, her uncle drives a Rolls-Royce, even the license plate number is the only one in Jiang cheng! They have money and power, and I also want to be in the state of Ping bu Qingyun twenty years later, I...I think we are still suitable Be friends."
Zheng Shu Yi almost didn't come up in one breath, and she was only a fingernail away from dying on the spot.
So in the end, before she even spoke, she was preemptively dumped?
"Yue Xing Zhou." Zheng Shu Yi held her breath, clutching the door frame tightly, and said word by word, "Did you bring my mobile phone?"
After one glance, he lowered his head and took out her phone.
Zheng Shu Yi snatched her mobile phone, took a deep breath, and kicked out the cardboard box and Yue Xing Zhou in one go.
"Who the hell wants to be your friend! To be your ancestor!"
--The sound of the door slamming resounded throughout the corridor, and Zheng Shu Yi could feel the vibration of the door panel even when she leaned on it, and she rubbed her chest again and again to ensure that she won't recite it in one go.
After a while of silence, footsteps finally sounded outside the door.
Zheng Shu Yi couldn't hold back the last trace of expectation, hoping that Yue Xing Zhou could still be a person.
So she turned around and looked through the cat's eyes, only to see Yue Xing Zhou took two steps with the cardboard box in his arms, then suddenly squatted down, put the cardboard box on the ground, and buried his head in searching for something inside.
The box was filled with things sent by Yue Xing Zhou, including ceramics, decorations, books, and many scattered gadgets.
After a while, he took out some small things and put them in his coat bag, but left the box and went into the elevator
No way?
Zheng Shu Yi was stunned for a moment, and blinked hard.
If she read correctly, what Yue Xing Zhou took away was the only valuable gold brooch in that box?!
At this moment, anger flooded the sky, drowning out all hypocritical emotions, tearing up the filter of the past few years, tearing up the worst side of Yue Xing Zhou's quality and spreading it bloody in front of Zheng Shu Yi, not allowing her to have any more Nostalgia, even the most impressive memories are wiped out in an instant and turned into flying debris that ignites anger.
Zheng Shu Yi threw herself on the bed, beat the pillow over and over again, but still couldn't erase those images in her mind.
Every time she closes her eyes, she thinks of Yue Xing Zhou's look of being wronged when he is with her, which makes Zheng Shu Yi keep his eyes open until dawn.
But she only took half a day off, and in the afternoon she still dressed up and went to the company.
A scumbag can be lost, but performance cannot be lost.
"Mingyu Bank has called, and the character interview will be postponed to next Thursday at three o'clock in the afternoon." Editor-in-Chief Tang Yi called her into the office, looking at the computer without looking up, "But it's best to change the topic selection, you hand in a new outline to me as soon as possible."
"Oh."
Hearing Zheng Shu Yi's lifeless voice, Tang Yi raised her eyebrows, "This is a common thing. You have a smooth journey because you are beautiful. Do you know how many reporters make ten calls, five One is always in a meeting, three are always perfunctory, and two are never convenient for interviews. If you are angry now, what will you be doing the future?"
"I am not angry, and I have to thank Shi Yan for speaking of it." Zheng Shu Yi Said in a nonchalant tone, "Otherwise, how would I find out that my boyfriend, oh no, the ex-boyfriend cheated?"
"What? Changed the ex-boyfriend?"
Tang Yi seemed shocked, but when she said the last word, the final sound rises, the eyebrows are beaming, and the words "so funny" are almost written on the face.
Zheng Shu Yi: "..."
"Ouch." In order not to let herself go too far, Tang Yi covered her mouth and said, "Should I not be so happy?
"Fortunately, it's just that the crow's feet are smiling."
Tang Yi changed her face instantly, turned her head to look at the computer coldly, raised her middle finger and pressed the corners of her eyes, "I told you a long time ago, your boyfriend is not good, what do you deserve for this condition?
Doesn't that look good?"
"Then what qualifications do I want to match with a boyfriend?"
Zheng Shu Yi's mind reappeared the picture of last night, and he said to himself, "With a Rolls- Royce."
"Isn't it possible? "Tang Yi stood up and stuffed a document into her arms, "You are knowledgeable, good-looking, have a decent job, and have a bright future in the future, so how can you not be worthy?" planning.
She was the one who recruited Zheng Shu Yi from the newspaper in the first place, just to create a human-shaped signboard exclusively for "Financial Weekly".
Zheng Shu Yi graduated from one of the top universities of finance and economics in China with a major in journalism. She has excellent professional skills, and the little girl can also suffer from the hardships of Times journalists.
Most importantly, Tang Yi felt that she possessed extraordinary beauty.
Even in serious industries, beauty is a particularly eye-catching medium.
If it is played together with the "education" and "ability" cards, it will be Wang Zha.
So she felt that when Zheng Shu Yi published a few articles that received a lot of attention, "Financial Weekly" would help her, and the two would complement each other, making her a famous reporter in the circle, and walking in the financial circle in the future would be like entering a land without people. It will bring greater benefits to the magazine.
"Oh." Zheng Shu Yi was too lazy to discuss this issue with Tang Yi, and looked down at the things in her hands, "What is this?"
"There is a financial summit in the afternoon, if you can't die, go follow the clues."
Tang Yi waved her hand, signaling She can leave, "There is also an interview with Mingyu Bank next week, so prepare well."
This is the benefit of having an unkind boss. Zheng Shu Yi didn't even have time to be hypocritical, so she went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup before leaving the company in a hurry.
The summit was held in the new financial center of Jiangcheng. It is located on the remote Fourth Ring Road. It was only completed last year. The surrounding area is still in the development stage. There are basically no pedestrians on the road except for cars.
But Zheng Shu Yi is no stranger to this place, one is because she often goes here for interviews, and the other is because Yue Xing Zhou works here.
In the past, if she had time, she would come here to wait for Yue Xing Zhou to get off work, and then the two of them would have dinner and watch a movie together, and then go to one of her favorite dessert shops to buy small cakes.
So now that Zheng Shu Yi had listened to the entire summit, she subconsciously turned into that dessert shop.
When she came back to her senses, the clerk was already greeting her warmly.
Zheng Shu Yi took out the egg tarts she usually bought from the cabinet. The two red grapes on the yellow cheese looked very much like Yue Xing Zhou's hateful face.
The clerk stood aside, watching Zheng Shu Yi show an expression of murdering her father and enemy to an egg tart.
"Miss, that..." the clerk said cautiously, "It's afternoon, buy one egg tart and get one free."
As soon as the words were finished, there was a welcome sound at the door, and the clerk hurried to greet the new customers.
And Zheng Shu Yi was still staring at the egg tart until a familiar voice sounded behind her.
She turned her head abruptly, meeting Yue Xing Zhou's eyes unexpectedly.
Yue Xing Zhou was stunned for a moment, standing at the door, wondering whether he should go any further.
After a while, he turned his face away, pulled the woman beside him and said, "I'll buy it tomorrow."
Only then did Zheng Shu Yi notice that the woman he was leading was the one he saw in the hospital last night.
Don't even look like it?
He came to break up with her last night, and today they came out hand in hand to show off?
"No." Although Qin Lezhi saw Zheng Shu Yi, she didn't plan to leave, "I'm used to eating here, and I don't feel comfortable if I don't eat for a day."
She walked to Zheng Shu Yi, and took out a whole box sideways Egg Tart, while keeping her hands back, gave Zheng Shu Yi a glance.
That look clearly indicated that she knew who Zheng Shu Yi was from Yue Xing Zhou, but she didn't have the slightest sense of being a third party, and even revealed a sense of complacency, like a person who rushed into a banquet with bare feet and spat in the dishes. Showing off to everyone that she got the whole table.
Zheng Shu Yi was dazzled by her eyes, making her temples ache suddenly.
OK, she will bear it.
She threw away the egg tart and left the dessert shop without looking back.
But when she stepped out of the gate, she suddenly thought of something, so she stopped and turned her head immediately, just in time to meet Qin Lezhi looking at her with the eyes of a winner.
Zheng Shu Yi's gaze moved down, and she saw that the shiny golden thing on her scarf was indeed the brooch that Yue Xing Zhou took away last night?!
"..."

Although her expression was calm, it seemed that there were tens of thousands of hot coals crushing Zheng Shu Yi's chest back and forth, and her anger was about to burst out anytime and anywhere.
After walking for a few days, Zheng Shu Yi finally couldn't bear it and kicked a big tree by the side of the road.
Dashu was terrified at the time, he had never seen such an angry woman.
Zheng Shu Yi lowered her head, her chest heaved violently, and she clearly felt her cheeks burning hot from anger.
There were constant sounds of cars on the road, she turned her head slightly, and saw Yue Xing Zhou and Qin Lezhi coming out.
Yue Xing Zhou held the dessert box in his hand, and Qin Lezhi jumped into his co-pilot with her arm in his arms.
Just released from the zoo and haven't learned to walk upright yet?
Zheng Shu Yi stared at that direction, until her teeth were gritted, and then she opened her legs and walked forward.
She didn't know what she was doing either.
Instead of taking a taxi or going to the subway station, she just walked aimlessly on this wide and somewhat lonely road step by step.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, it was getting dark, and Zheng Shu Yi stopped at an intersection to hail a taxi.
Just as she was looking into the middle of the road, a car parked on the opposite street caught her attention unexpectedly.
When her eyes gradually focused, the bright Rolls Royce logo seemed to be shining with golden light.
The license plate number was the string she saw at the hospital last night, and it was also the "serial numbered license plate" that Yue Xing Zhou called, the only one in Jiangcheng.
A thought quickly flashed through Zheng Shu Yi's mind, and what Tang Yi said to her today.
"You are knowledgeable, good-looking, decent in your job, and have a bright future in the future, why don't you deserve it?"
The cold wind blows wantonly on her face, but her thoughts are churning like heat waves in your mind.
Not very rational, not very calm, but in just three seconds, Zheng Shu Yi made a decision that upended her future life.
Some people, if she don't let him pay for what he did, he won't think she is free and easy, he will only think she is stupid.
Don't he want to save twenty years of struggle?
She thought so too.
Don't he want to lean against the mountains?
She thought so too.
Even if she can't make you pay the price, he still has to respectfully call her little aunt when he flatter her in the future.
When thinking of this, Zheng Shu Yi was already standing beside the car.
She looked at herself reflected in the car window and brushed her hair.
Although the face in the mirror was a bit haggard, it had a different kind of charm, different from Zheng Shu Yi's usual lively and charming, and now she felt a delicate and pitiful feeling of fragility.
She raised her hand and knocked on the window.
There was no movement for a long time.
When Zheng Shu Yi almost thought that there was no one in the car for so long, the window finally rolled down slowly.
At first, Zheng Shu Yi only saw a pair of gold- rimmed glasses with anti-skid chains.
Afterwards, the entire face was slowly revealed, followed by Zheng Shu Yi's curse words secretly in her heart.
Anyone who has seen this face will not forget it in a short time, Zheng Shu Yi naturally also remembers that this is the person who offered to send her home at Warner Manor last night.
It's just that she didn't expect that Qin Lezhi's face looking at the clear soup and water, the little uncle would have such a look?
There didn't seem to be much accident when the woman was knocked on the car window, he just looked over lightly.
Although embarrassing, Zheng Shu Yi felt that it was not entirely a bad thing.
At least, didn't he have a little bit of fun last night?
So Zheng Shu Yi bent down and said softly: "Sir, my phone is out of battery and I can't get a taxi.
Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
Shi Yan didn't even turn his head, just turned his face slightly, He looked sideways at Zheng Shu Yi.
Looking at each other, Zheng Shu Yi couldn't see what she meant, so she said, "Or, you can give me a ride if you want."
Shi Yan stared at her for a while.
His eyebrows are long and narrow, and the cold texture of the glasses just suppresses the frivolity in the upturned eyes.
A few seconds later, Shi Yan slowly looked away.
"My car doesn't have a boyfriend's woman."
Zheng Shu Yi: "...?"
The car just reversed in front of her and sped towards the road.
