gentle reunion

On Friday, Xie Kaiyan called Xu Zan: "I'm not coming back tonight, I'll be back tomorrow morning, can you come pick me up?"

"No, I have an appointment tomorrow morning, and I will have lunch outside."

"Okay, then I'll go back by myself."

After the phone call, Xie Kaiyan said to Zhou Yongyi: "I'll just go back tomorrow afternoon."

"Your boyfriend is quite at ease with you." Zhou Yongyi said.

"What are you worried about?"

Zhou Yongyi looked at Xie Kaiyan: "You are so handsome, he shouldn't be so relieved, you went to play in our store a few days ago, those tall, handsome and rich people like you very much, compared with others, he has no competitiveness at all, A piece of clothing costs tens of thousands, and his broken car is worth 10,000+, right?"

Xie Kaiyan smiled wryly: "Stop talking..."

"It's okay if you don't have money, and you don't look good, and you have no culture or education. What are you planning for him?"

Zhou Yongyi had seen the photo of Xu Zan saved in Xie Kaiyan's mobile phone, it was a photo of nostrils taken from the bottom up, wow, that unshaven beard, that messy hair, the corners of his eyes were still covered with gum, no good looks at all.

In other respects, Xie Kaiyan is irrefutable, but Xu Zan's appearance can still be disputed: "In fact, he is quite handsome, but the photo was not taken well..."

Xu Zan didn't like to take pictures, and he didn't cooperate with taking pictures, so Xie Kaiyan deliberately took his ugly photos secretly-it's a pity that this aggressive method didn't work for Xu Zan.

"Huh?" Zhou Yongyi rolled his eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Really, he is very handsome, and he keeps turning his head when he walks on the road." Xie Kaiyan tried to prove that his vision is not bad.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Yongyi stopped arguing with him, went to the closet, took out a piece of clothing, and went to the mirror to make gestures.

Xie Kaiyan's eyes followed Zhou Yongyi's movements.

Zhou Yongyi has a lot of clothes, all of which are very fashionable, and there are many luxury brands among them. His shoes are also very expensive, and the cheapest pair costs thousands of dollars. He also has a watch worth tens of thousands.

Xie Kaiyan's clothes were bought by Xu Zan. They are all basic clothes, comfortable and versatile, and of good quality.Among college students, he was well dressed, but compared to Zhou Yongyi, he looked too ordinary.

In fact, Zhou Yongyi mainly relies on part-time jobs. His family has no money. Of course, it is much better than Xie Kaiyan's family. Xie Kaiyan's family lives in a very poor mountain village, so poor that they can't afford him to go to high school, so he can only drop out of school and go to work.

He was working in a hotel, and Xu Zan was a guest staying at the hotel. Seeing that he was young, he asked him why he didn't study.

Hearing that he had no money to study, Xu Zan said, "I'll pay your tuition fees, you go ahead and study, if you pass the exam, I'll pay your university tuition fees too."

Later, Xie Kaiyan was admitted to Mingli University, and the two met again in Mingcheng.

Xie Kaiyan went to school and worked part-time. Xu Zan asked him to focus on his studies, so he half-jokingly asked, "How can I live without part-time work? Are you supporting me?"

Xu Zan said, "Okay."

That's how their relationship was settled.

"He treated me very well." Xie Kaiyan said.

Zhou Yongyi looked back in front of the dressing mirror: "I don't know if you have heard a saying: You stay with a person because he treats you well. That's not liking, but being moved. You will definitely regret it after a long time."

Xie Kaiyan didn't speak, but sighed almost inaudibly.

On Friday night, when Xiang went to "take a tour" of his club, he beckoned a staff member to him: "How are you doing these days?"

"Very good." The staff followed him, telling him all the big and small things that happened in the club in the past week like broadcasting news.

Basically, it is gossip news that a certain rich second generation broke up, someone brought a starlet over, and someone and someone are having an affair.

"Who is that new face?"

In the side hall, a group of young men and women were playing games, and one of them Xiang Xiang looked at him strangely.

"It's Xiaoyi's classmate. He came here once a few days ago, and today is his second visit."

Xiang Xiang nodded: "I'll go and have a look."

He walked into the side hall: "What are you playing? Can you add me?"

"Join! Young Master Xiang is leaving, how can you not join?" Everyone warmly greeted him and made room for him.

Of course Xiang Xiang didn't want to play games, he came to inquire about news for Xu Zan, he played and chatted with everyone, trying to bring the topic to Wang Kejiu.

A young man nicknamed Fat Deer shared the news he knew: "He became a foreigner and changed his name. Now he is called Wang Ting."

"Hey, it's changed. He's not wanted. Is it necessary?"

"I was scared when the accident happened in his family."

When the Wang family had an accident, there was a lot of panic, as if the whole family was about to be arrested.

But it was fine afterward—at least people are fine, and money must have been lost a lot, so I can only look at it.

"He has a lot of experience, enough to boast for half a lifetime, who of you knows him well? Call him over to play." Xiang Xiang deliberately didn't ask where Wang Ting is now, so as not to appear to be paying too much attention to him.

"I'll ask." It was Fat Deer who took over.

After Xiang Xiang heard the news, he found an opportunity to withdraw. Before leaving, he distributed the money he won in the game to his companions—that is, several club employees present to play with the guests, including Zhou Yongyi.

After get off work, Zhou Yongyi counted his harvest today, and there were more than 3000 yuan.

Xie Kaiyan watched Zhou Yongyi finish counting the money briskly, then watched him fold the money twice, and then stuffed it into his trouser pocket, which was stretched into a full arc.

"Is this considered a tip? Is it so much every time?"

Xie Kaiyan recalled the first time he went to the club with Zhou Yongyi. Zhou Yongyi probably didn't get so much money, but he was not sure, because last time he was stunned by the luxury of the club and ignored Zhou Yongyi, and neither did Zhou Yongyi. Count the money in front of him.

"Not too much today. They even threw money away once - because they thought it was funny for us to poke our buttocks to pick money." Zhou Yongyi shrugged, "I don't care, as long as I have money to pick, I can show them every day."

"Yes." Xie Kaiyan echoed, "I'm willing to choose too."

Long Bridge Villa is composed of four old buildings. The building is located in the garden. The garden area is five times the building area. The trees are thriving, the lawn is full of vitality, the air is fresh, and the environment is elegant and quiet.

Xu Zan wanted to know if he chose the right place, but he didn't ask directly, but said, "Do you know the landscape and countryside under Fuyun Mountain?"

Lan Tianran nodded.

"How is it better than this?"

"They are all good, each has its own merits. I used to occasionally go to the mountains and rivers to live in the countryside for a few days." Lan Tianran said that it was more than three years ago, and he went abroad later, so he didn't go there again.

Xu Zan said with a smile: "I occasionally go to Fuyun Mountain to live for a few days, but I go to Fuyun Temple on the mountain."

Lan Tianran looked at him: "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

Xu Zan shook his head: "I just want to meditate."

"is that useful?"

"It's kind of useful. What about you, how do you deal with when you're upset?"

"Run."

"Very healthy."

"I ran to the point where I passed out."

"……Oh."

The two walked into the restaurant and sat down on the window seats.

"Are you optimistic about our company? Or, are you optimistic about your acquisition project?" Xu Zan asked in a joking tone.

"I like your company, but not this acquisition."

"Oh?" Isn't this a contradiction.

Lan Tianran explained: "You are not short of money, and you are not in a hurry to make money, so you are not in a hurry to sell the company. In this case, the later negotiations will be very difficult."

Xu Zan was surprised, and asked with a smile, "Why do you say I'm not in a hurry to make money?"

"Because you are rich and have a lot of assets in your name."

"Are you investigating me?" The smile in Xu Zan's tone disappeared.

"I will definitely investigate. However, I knew before that you were not short of money."

"Oh?"

"I have been working in foreign financial companies for the past few years. I went to Yazhou on a business trip the year before last - to attend a science and technology innovation conference. I noticed several companies that had developed well and wanted to cooperate with them. I had a deep talk with them and found out that You are their joint investor."

Xu Zan smiled: "Is it such a coincidence?"

After dropping out in his sophomore year, Xu Zan left Mingcheng and went to Yazhou.

When he first went there, he was poor and white, had to eat and pay off debts, and needed to find a job that could make quick money. He happened to know a high-tech: computer network, so he was dragged to do gray business.

At that time, he was young and had just experienced a major blow. He was terribly disappointed in life and full of resentment towards the world.

He has worked on pirated websites, organized online order swiping, and also engaged in various online consultations.

Once, I almost fooled someone into buying an oil field in Central Asia, which was a big deal of hundreds of millions.

——It’s a good thing that this order was not completed, or after a few years, when people find out that the quality of the oil field is not good, it’s still a trivial matter to find someone to put him in a sack, and it’s possible to chop him up and feed him to the dogs.

In those few years, when the money was the most profitable, the money was like water in the tap, and it seemed that it would never stop.

Many colleagues have been running the faucet, reluctant to turn it off, and finally drowned themselves.

Xu Zan can still sit here today, mainly because he was lucky and closed his hands early, and secondly because he is bold and careful, and can accurately judge which business can be accepted and which cannot be accepted, and who can provoke and who cannot. provoke.

For example, Xiang Qu was also his client, but when he was chatting, he found out that someone in Xiang Xiang's family was in politics, so he resolutely gave up trying to extract wool from him.

As for investment, Xu Zan actually invested in many small companies in Yazhou, but the market was cruel, and not many companies survived, and only three became bigger. All three companies are developing very well—one of them is preparing to go public in the United States , if nothing else, Xu Zan should be able to bring very gratifying returns after listing.

"You went to Yazhou for a business trip the year before last? Unfortunately, I had already returned to Mingcheng at that time. How have you been abroad these past few years?" Xu Zan asked.

It was about three and a half years ago that Lan Tianran sold the company and went abroad. Xu Zan has not established the company for less than three years now.

Until now.

Lan Tianran was a little hesitant, Xu Zan almost thought he was going to ask himself again, "What aspect are you asking me specifically", but no, this time he directly replied: "Not bad."

Then it's gone.

Xu Zan asked with a smile: "Do you chat with others like this?"

Lan Tianran shook his head: "I have prepared a set of fixed answers."

Xu Zan: "..."

From what the other party said, it seemed that he had enjoyed special treatment?

Xu Zan looked into Lan Tianran's eyes and saw nothing.

It really is an illusion.

Lan Tianran was not good at communicating with others when he was a teenager, and he was as silent as water, but after all, he was young, and occasionally there would be small waves of stumbling.

It's different now, the whole person looks like still water and a deep current, only the waves on the surface are calm, and it is impossible to see if there is a hidden torrent underneath.

"Since you are not optimistic about this acquisition, why do you still want to participate?" Xu Zan turned the topic into a serious matter.

"As I said just now, I am optimistic about your company. Your company has great potential for development, and Hengsheng has the money and resources to help you develop better."

This means: if you can't talk about an acquisition, you can still talk about investment.

Xu Zan smiled and said, "You mean, you can help us find a suitable profit method?"

When Lan Tianran sent him home last time, he mentioned the issue of profitability, which turned out to be paving the way for today.

"Yes." Lan Tianran said, "Hengsheng has video, shopping, travel and other platforms, and these are the resources you need. There are many domestic software like 'Xingzhe', but none of them have been able to make it big. The reason is the lack of resource support.”

Xu Zan looked at Lan Tianran: "You are different from before."

Lan Tianran was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.

Xu Zan said with a smile: "You will even bargain now."

Lan Tianran just said that there are many software like "Xingzhe", which is a strategy of "deprecating and lowering the price".

Xu Zan mentioned the past: "When we were in high school, we took outdoor courses and did price surveys on crops. We had to go to the market to buy things by ourselves. You would never bargain. You would give what others wanted."

Lan Tianran smiled a little when he heard the words, his eyes floated into the air, and he recalled: "It was an activity in the last semester of the second year of high school."

It was a sunny day.

The whole class was as happy as if they were on vacation. Everyone was divided into several large groups, and the large group was divided into small groups. Everyone went to complete their respective tasks lively.

Lan Tianran was left behind, shopping alone in the market with a list.

Xu Zan passed by: "You bought it wrong."

"Ok?"

Xu Zan pointed to Lan Tianran: "Go and change it."

"Oh." Lan Tianran agreed, but didn't move.

Xu Zan suspected that he would not be able to tell the stall owner that he wanted to return or exchange the goods, so he said, "Let's go, let's go together."

Lan Tianran hesitated: "We are not in a group."

"What does that matter?"

"Ah."

With Xu Zan around, things became easier and more fun.

So much so that when I recall it now, I still feel relaxed and happy.

Xu Zan smiled and said, "Time flies so fast."

He talked about the past, in fact, to interrupt Lan Tianran's speaking rhythm.

When the goal was achieved, he changed his voice and took over the conversation: "There are countless competitors in every industry. We are not the only ones doing similar software, but we are the best in every aspect. Before you, many people have contacted us."

After talking about his company, he talked about Hengsheng's situation: "Hengsheng has done a lot, but the times are developing, and new things come out every day. If you want to maintain your current position, you must constantly accept new ones. Things, and constantly improve the industrial chain.”

Lan Tianran nodded slightly: "Now is the Internet society. Only open coexistence and equal cooperation can build a more competitive business ecosystem. We very much welcome you to join."

Xu Zan smiled, you said it nicely, but actually: "It's your business ecosystem, and you want to use us as screws."

"No, any part of the ecosystem is very important. If both of us can cooperate, we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

Lan Tianran's negotiating style is very stable, with a calm demeanor who is used to controlling the overall situation.

Compared with him, Xu Zan's style is very casual, or he likes to surprise, like just now, he suddenly mentioned the past in high school, like now, he suddenly picked up the cup, reached across and touched Lan Tianran's cup: " well said."

Lan Tianran was not very good at dealing with this kind of interaction—that is to say, he was interrupted by Xu Zan again, he hesitated, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

The two chatted back and forth, and although they had different positions, they did not quarrel too much, so they chatted happily. It can be said that this was a win-win meeting.

The final exam is coming soon, Xie Kaiyan is busy reviewing his homework, and has been living in school recently.

Xu Zan is also busy with work.

After discussing with Luo Xiaorui, he thought that he could accept Hengsheng's investment. With the resources provided by Hengsheng, they would be even more powerful and develop faster and better.

Of course, before seeing the specific investment plan and signing a formal agreement, things still have variables.

In the evening, when Xu Zan was drinking on the balcony and watching the night view, Xiang Xiang called: "Lao Wang is here."

"Ok?"

"It's Wang Kejiu, he has changed his name to Wang Ting now—"

Xu Zan's expression froze, he quickly walked back indoors, and closed the balcony door tightly.

Said to the other side: "—he has returned to China, and now he is in the sky."

Xu Zan paced back and forth: "Do you know why he returned to China?"

"Come back and play, it's so boring abroad, it's still fun in our own place."

"What about his family? Are you planning to return to China for development?"

The Wang family is a centipede. Although it suffered a huge loss four years ago, it has not completely disintegrated.

"It's in the trial stage. Anyway, it's a foreign company now. If the test fails, it's easy to run away."

Sure enough, are you planning to make a comeback in China?

After finishing the call, Xu Zan lay down on the sofa, let go of his gaze, and analyzed the past, thinking about which node went wrong that led to the current situation.

Of course he didn't just grab Wang Kejiu - now called Wang Ting - and hit him on the head with a wine bottle.

Before he almost killed with passion, he and Wang Ting had known each other for several years.

They met for the first time in high school, Xu Zan was a freshman and Wang Ting was a third year. Their school is a very good school. Xu Zan got admitted, while Wang Ting spent money to get in.

At that time, Wang Ting took the initiative to talk to Xu Zan, and Xu Zan responded, but with a bad attitude.

This is how Liang Zi was formed.

Wang Ting will notice Xu Zan because of his face, Wang Ting's sexuality is homosexual, so he will strike up a conversation with a boy who looks good.

In fact, Wang Ting was fine at that time, but his eyes made Xu Zan uncomfortable, so he didn't give him a good look.

Wang Ting would appear in their class at that time, probably to find Lan Tianran, they are relatives, although they are distant relatives, but it is conceivable that Wang Ting's family should ask him to take care of Lan Tianran.

Tracing the source like this seems to be Lan Tianran's "wrong".

But certainly not.

Lan Tianran is a harmless shell, Wang Ting is the cancerous tumor emitting poisonous gas at that moment, and Xu Zan's own temper is the fuel for the combustion.

Just after analyzing this point, Xu Zan's cell phone rang, and it rang several times. It was Xiang Xiang who sent several new messages.

Open it and see several videos.

Xiang Xiang said that this is the result of his candid shots.

Xu Zan clicked on a video, and he was stunned when he saw it.

In the video, a group of people are gathering, and the luxurious environment should be full of stars.

Wang Ting is in the middle of the screen, and Xie Kaiyan is sitting on his left.

Xu Zan's brain was running fast: what is their relationship?How did they meet?

All kinds of thoughts flew through Xu Zan's mind like a flock of migrating birds, and there were many conspiracy theories: Xie Kaiyan might have been arranged by Wang Ting to be by his side.

Xu Zan turned up the volume of his mobile phone, and he heard Xie Kaiyan's voice: "... There is no passion and romance between us, we just live together."

"Is this about me?" Xu Zan said to himself, while rewinding the video to replay.

The author has something to say: ^_^ The relationship between Xu Zan and Lan Tianran is not a reunion after a broken mirror, nor is it a two-way secret love.

It should be "destined".

The experience and character of the two made them make various decisions that made their fates intersect.

"Come closer, and I'll fall in love with you."

Now they are getting closer.
