one year later.

The spring rain is pattering, the severe winter has just passed, and the weather in City B has not yet fully warmed up. People wrapped in coats and holding umbrellas are hurrying on the street, the traffic lights are changing, pedestrians on the zebra crossing are shuttling among the traffic, and among them, the young man hugged his neck With a light gray scarf, he walked into an old street across the road with his head down.

It is called an old street because the history of this street is indeed long. The city has changed several times, and high-rise buildings have sprung up on the ground. However, this street has always maintained its original appearance, blue bricks With green tiles, you can tell the past years at a glance.

The young man stopped in front of a breakfast shop and bought soy milk and steamed buns as usual. The chef smiled and said, "I heard the sun will rise today!"

Chen Hejia scanned the QR code to pay, took the breakfast, and replied gently; "Yes, it has been raining for many days."

"By the way, Boss Chen."

While packing buns for other customers, the master chef at the breakfast shop took the time to say to Chen Hejia: "My son's birthday is today, can you help me choose a book suitable for children, you know, I'm a rough person, and I don't understand these things ..."

Chen Hejia laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were very touching: "Of course."

"Then it's done. I'll go to your store to get it when I'm not busy at noon."

"Ok."

Chen Hejia nodded in agreement, then turned around and left. When he walked into the store, the newly recruited clerk Xiao Liu had already arrived. Don't look at this young girl, she is very active in doing things. She wiped the bookshelf and laughed Say hello to Chen Hejia:

"Morning Brother Chen!"

"morning."

Chen Hejia put the extra breakfast in front of the cash register, "Eat something."

"Hee hee, brother Chen is really nice."

The little girl immediately put away the dishcloth and tidied herself up before bouncing and walking to the back of the cash register. Because of her impatience, she scalded when she drank the soy milk.

There was heating in the store, and Chen Hejia was taking off his scarf and coat to hang up, when he heard the sound, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her, shaking his head and laughing, "I really don't have a long memory."

After speaking, he also walked towards the bookshelf in the store.

The little girl stuck her tongue out and said bitterly, "I won't need straws anymore."

After finishing speaking, the little girl thought of something, and leaned out from the cash register, "By the way, Brother Chen, you know, just Guan Xiaoxiao, who had a serious affair with the president of BATTLE some time ago, and according to the latest interview, the CEO didn't You didn't take people seriously, and you said you already had a partner, and you said you couldn't slap me in the face hahaha."

Chen Hejia paused, but the little girl didn't pay attention, and continued to chatter: "This Guan Xiaoxiao, although popular, just likes to be a monster too much, she wants to curry favor with a rich man? Tsk tsk tsk, I see that her fans scolded her well on the Internet. Fierce...but don't tell me, the boss of this luxury goods company is really handsome, I only knew it from the interview, now Weibo is full of the face of the president, his combat effectiveness is very strong."

Chen Hejia turned his face, rearranged the books that were disturbed by the guests and put them away: "You, you have nothing to do to read more books, don't you want to take the undergraduate exam yourself? Why do you always watch these entertainment news?"

The excitement on the little girl's face immediately went down, and she resentfully said, "Brother Chen..."

She pursed her lips and looked in Chen Hejia's direction. When Chen Hejia raised her hand, the little girl's eyes lit up: "Hey Brother Chen, isn't the watch on your wrist from BATTLE? I saw that it looks like a classic watch from their family." Yay, it's so pretty!"

Following Xiao Liu's words, Chen Hejia shrank her wrist unconsciously, the watch was hidden under the sweater, Chen Hejia said softly: "No."

"……Oh."

Xiao Liu didn't think much about it, she touched her phone, and the photos of BATTLE boss Tan Yonghui kept popping up on Weibo, she couldn't help but said: "Oh, brother Chen, you said that a proud man like Tan Yonghui wants money and money, If you want to have money and have good looks, what kind of fairy days are you living?"

Chen Hejia didn't speak, but Xiao Liu got excited again: "Tsk tsk, look at the hard photos in that magazine, you can kill the male stars in the mainland in seconds! Of course, Brother Chen, you are also super good-looking!"

As she said that, the little girl looked at Chen Hejia with star-eyed eyes: "Brother Chen, you usually don't know that many customers come to the store to buy books because of you. Didn't you notice that all the people who stay in the store and read books are girl."

"..."

Chen Hejia was speechless for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Did you send out the book order order I asked you to send yesterday?"

"what!"

Xiao Liu patted his head, "I was so busy when I got off work yesterday that I forgot!"

Not daring to delay any longer, Xiao Liu put down the soy milk and quickly sat down and turned on the computer, while saying loudly: "Brother Chen, I really didn't forget on purpose, I'll post it right away! Post it right away!"

Seeing that the little girl started working and had no time to chat here, Chen Hejia breathed a sigh of relief and went up to the second floor by herself.

……

Since Chen Hejia came back from Hong Kong, he bought this bookstore not far from home, not for making money, but for a clean life.

The first floor is decorated as a bookstore, half of the space is used for books, and the other half is filled with comfortable sofas and round tables for some guests to read here.

I thought that the paper media has been sluggish in the past few years, and the money I invested was wasted, but I didn't expect that since the opening, his bookstore has been crowded with people, and there are not a few people who come to read books or work in the store with their computers. Those customers Every time I come, I will more or less buy some books or other gadgets. After a long time, the business is actually pretty good.

At the beginning, Chen Hejia also welcomed these customers to come to the store to read and exchange books. The heating is open all day on weekdays, and some instant coffee is provided when there are few people, accompanied by in-store music. Chen Hejia is also happy to stay on the first floor.

But later, for some reason, more and more female guests came, and the gazes cast on him became more and more hot. The entire lobby on the first floor was filled with the smell of women's perfume. As time passed, Chen Hejia began to stay alone on the second floor.

The second floor is completely Chen Hejia's private area, with bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. Most of the time, Chen Hejia spends time working or reading by the window of the living room on the second floor, and only goes home on weekends.

Thinking of what Yang Zhen said to him after he went home yesterday, Chen Hejia couldn't help but sighed on the sofa.

Chen Zhen urged him to find a girlfriend.

This is not the first time he has been reminded, Chen Hejia always resisted lightly every time, but this time Yang Zhen was more serious, saying that he is thirty at least and it is time to get married.As he spoke, he also showed him the photo of the girl on the phone.

"Here, just this girl, isn't she pretty? A graduate student from Peking University! She's beautiful and talented."

Chen Hejia frowned into Chuanzi, and was about to refuse, but Yang Zhen's words changed: "Or if you really don't like girls, you can find a decent boy, you are always alone, and I also worried."

"……mom."

Before Chen Hejia could speak, Yang Zhen slid the photo, and a man appeared on the screen, wearing a suit, looking mature and attractive. Yang Zhen smiled: "Can you see this? Mom asked, he is working in a bank now. He is a decent person and very capable, I made an appointment for you this Wednesday, and you just promise mom, this Monday, can you go see me?"

Chen Hejia: "..."

Ji Yang jumped out at the right time: "Brother, I picked this person for you, it's no problem."

Chen Hejia: "..."

The blind date was decided unilaterally by Yang Zhen, and Chen Hejia felt a headache.

At the same time, in London, England, the same foggy and rainy day.

The huge office was deserted and deserted. Tan Yonghui leaned on the back of the chair and listened to the performance report of the relevant person in charge. He closed his eyes, propped one hand on his temple, and tapped the fingers of the other hand on the table in a leisurely manner.

Halfway through hearing the knock on the office door, Tan Yonghui opened his eyes with a displeased expression.

The person in charge stopped reporting and stood sideways. The door was opened, and Qi Yan, formerly Tan Binhua's assistant and now Tan Yonghui's assistant, walked in.

"Boss Tan."

Qi Yan first signaled to Tan Yonghui, and Tan Yonghui sat upright with a cold expression: "Didn't I tell you that I am busy with something?"

Qi Yan smiled, turned to the person in charge and said, "You go out first."

Naturally, the person in charge didn't dare to say much, he put the report on Tan Yonghui's desk and turned to leave.

Tan Yonghui narrowed his eyes: "You better have something important."

He found that this Qi Yan, as the assistant of the original director Tan, was not afraid of him. He looked like an old god, which made people angry, but when he first took over the company, Qi Yan did help a lot. He is not good at dismissing people afterwards, and he has been thinking of ways to catch his pigtails, but Qi Yan is indeed impeccable in his work, except for his lack of respect, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Just make do with it, and one year has passed.

Now, Qi Yan showed his unpleasant smile again: "Of course it's a very important thing."

Tan Yonghui stood up and made a gesture to go out, "Tell me something, it's best to start the meeting right away, I don't have so much free time to stay in the UK for so long."

"It really shouldn't be in the UK anymore."

"what?"

Tan Yonghui was already in the wrong place with Qi Yan, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help turning his head: "Has something happened to the domestic company?"

Qi Yan took a few steps towards Tan Yonghui, and showed him his mobile phone screen: "Look what I found?"

Tan Yonghui glanced at Qi Yan suspiciously, took the phone, and there was a Weibo interface on it——

"@小刘 also have to work hard today: Today's delicious brother Chen, tsk tsk tsk, this back view, this profile is simply a model of textbook-level appearance! [Picture] [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]"

Tan Yonghui froze immediately.

In the next second, his hands were trembling, Tan Yonghui opened his eyes wide, and quickly flipped through the Weibo of this person called "Xiao Liu, you have to work hard today", and found many posts related to that person——

"Brother Chen, who cares about hygiene! Did you see that, as long as he is a handsome guy, no matter how he shoots, he won't be confused!"

"Today I secretly took another photo of Brother Chen reading a book [Guilt Heart], I will lick this beauty first as a respect!"

"Woooooooooh brother Chen brought me breakfast, it's super delicious, I want to marry!"

"Waving a small handkerchief~ The bookstore at No. 145 Chongwen Road is 'waiting' for you! Attached are 4 handsome photos of the super handsome guy, the treasure of the store, and the gentle boss. Little sisters, come and see the handsome guy~"

"My god, what kind of perfect gene is this? Brother Chen's younger brother has come to the store!!!!!!! The photo of two people standing together! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Look at this pair of eyes! Damn, I'm going to stand in CP!"

……

Scroll down all the way to January of this year.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I passed by a bookstore occasionally and called 'Wait', and found a little brother who is so good-looking, ladies wait! I'm going to work in this store!"

Tan Yonghui threw the phone at Qi Yan casually, then returned to the office chair to get his coat, "Arrange the fastest flight back to City B, we'll go to the airport now, hurry up!"

With that said, the man has strode out of the office.

Qi Yan looked at the latest Lizi mobile phone whose screen was completely smashed on the floor, expressionless: (╯#-_-)╯╧═╧
