Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 81
During that time, Lu Yan had been recuperating at home.
In fact, she herself felt that the injury from the car accident had healed a long time ago, but Lu Zhen was very careful, and she must follow the doctor’s instructions for at least three months before letting her go to school.
Lu Yan stayed at home with nothing to do, rolled up her sleeves and did housework, and cleaned the inside and out of the house.
The sunlight leaned into the small window of the attic. She turned out an old cardboard box and found that there were many movie discs in the box.
These are the discs that my dad used to save. When my dad was young, he had no internet resources on his computer. To watch movies, he would either go to the cinema or rent the discs to play DVDs.
Lu Yan took out these discs and blew the dust on the cover.
Dust flooded into the sun, and the dust flew.
This is a complete collection of Zhou Xingchi’s movies with a sense of time.
“Wow.”
Lu Yan exclaimed, this is a very precious old thing.
She dug out a few discs and wiped them clean with a damp cloth. She wanted to put the discs into a desktop computer for playback, but they could still be played, and the picture quality was clear.
But watching a movie alone seems a bit lonely.
Lu Yan thought of a person in a ghostly manner.
……
Half an hour later, Lu Yan stood downstairs at the headquarters of the Star Company, carrying a plastic bag containing potato chips, shrimp crackers and two cans of Coke.
Xingchen’s office buildings are located in the most prosperous financial and business district of North City. There are row upon row of modern high-rise commercial buildings, which are the core economic power areas of the entire city.
The 52-story office building in front of you is not the most impressive in this business district, but it must be a building that all young people with aspirations and aspirations want to enter in their dreams.
Lu Yan stood in front of this building, looking at the businessmen in suits and leather shoes who entered and exited the gate, and looked down at herself. She was wearing a bubble white cotton coat with rabbit ears and apricot snow boots on her feet. He also hung two of them. Small furry balls.
She was deterred, suddenly a little dazed, and a little nervous.
After seeing Shen Kuo that day, she always felt grief in her heart. She couldn’t do anything, and his face could appear in her mind whatever she was doing.
Yes, he is so good, standing there doing nothing, not even speaking out, in fact, it is easy to attract girls to like it.
Lu Yan didn’t know what was going on. She had never fallen in love with anyone at first sight before, which was too strange.
Anyway, she just wanted to see him again, and had agreed to watch a movie together before, although it was only a verbal agreement.
He shouldn’t break his promise… right.
Lu Yan was sitting alone on a street chair outside the building and playing games. She waited until six o’clock, when some employees in the company got off work one after another. Then she mustered up the courage and got up and walked into the building.
“Hello, who are you looking for?” The lady at the front desk noticed Lu Yan who was at a loss by the door and asked.
Lu Yan walked over and said to her, “Is it off work?”
“Yes, it’s off work.”
“Then… I’m looking for Shen Kuo?”
“Who do you want to look for?” The lady at the front desk thought she was wrong, with a look of surprise on her face.
“Shen Kuo.” Lu Yan cleared his words: “Just… he should be Xingchen’s boss.”
The lady at the front desk frowned. The 17-year-old girl in front of me was about to see her boss when she came, and this boss… is someone who might not even have the chance to meet at the front desk.
She still asked politely: “Do you have an appointment?”
“Uh…”
No, she doesn’t even have Shen Kuo’s phone number, how could she have an appointment.
“Then I make an appointment now, can I see him?”
“This…” the lady at the front desk said hesitantly: “I’m not sure, nor can I give you a specific time, but if Mr. Shen wants to see you, I will call you.”
“Oh, OK.”
“Your phone number is…?”
Lu Yan quickly reported his phone number.
“What’s the matter with you?”
The slender fingertips of the lady at the front desk crackled on the computer.
Lu Yan looked down at the disc in her hand and whispered, “I want to ask him to watch a movie.”
The lady at the front desk knocked on the computer’s hand suddenly: “You…what did you say?”
“Watching a movie.” Lu Yan paused and said seriously: “Zhou Xingchi’s movie.”
She also raised the disc in her hand.
The lady at the front desk frowned, she was a little suspicious that the little girl was here for fun.
Mr. Shen has been single these years, and how many women have posted on him, but no one has ever directly found a company to ask Mr. Shen… to watch a movie.
This girl…is there a problem with her brain.
“Can I make an appointment?” she asked her.
“It can be, but Mr. Shen may not meet you.”
Lu Yan lay on the edge of the stage and said, “It’s okay, you can make an appointment for me. It’s fine if he doesn’t see him.”
The lady at the front desk shook her head helplessly, and said to her heart that it was another one, Mr. Shen… he never gets married when he is old, but he is so handsome, so temperamental, and so rich. This is not a special curse for these young kids. Girl?
“Your name?”
“The last name is Lu, the single name is Yan.”
The lady at the front desk looked at her and asked in surprise, “Huh? What is your relationship with us, Lu?”
It looks like it’s long!
After she said this, the elevator dinged and opened, and several men in suits and leather shoes walked out, and Shen Kuo happened to be among them.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, the shirt tied around his waist, and his appearance was even more straight and straight. Under the light, his fair complexion made his facial features deep and three-dimensional.
He was talking to a few men in suits around him, with a cool and steady temperament, elegant and gentle.
Now Shen Kuo is in the golden age of men, without the youthfulness and recklessness, the charm of a mature man is exuded all over his body, and he is no longer as sharp as he used to be.
Lu Yan felt her breathing stagnated, and stared at him blankly.
Damn, he’s so handsome…
The receptionist looked at Lu Yan’s idiot with worry, for fear that she would suddenly rush over. That would be too rude, and she would be implicated and blamed, so she whispered to her, “Mr. Shen and the client will have dinner later.”
Of course Lu Yan would not run over so recklessly. She knew what Shen Kuo’s identity was. At least, she still knew basic politeness.
“Well, you just need to make an appointment for me.” Lu Yan turned her head and smiled and said to her: “Thank you.”
The lady at the front desk was relieved. Compared to the women who tried to get close to Shen Kuo in the past, this girl was very polite.
When Shen Kuo went out, he turned his face and suddenly saw Lu Yan standing by the front desk.
He was stunned, and stopped.
Several men in suits around saw Shen Kuo stop, and followed his gaze to look at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan raised her hand to her chest, waved slightly at Shen Kuo, and greeted politely, “Hi.”
Shen Kuo whispered a few words to the men around him, then strode towards Lu Yan, and asked softly, “Xiao Yan, why are you here?”
“I… didn’t you say that you like Zhou Xingchi’s movies? I found a few discs in my father’s box.”
She shook her snack bag again: “I want to look at it with you, but you should be busy and don’t worry about me!”
Shen Kuo’s eyes seemed to shine, and the corners of his mouth raised: “Watching a movie.”
“Um.”
The lady at the front desk looked at Shen Kuo in surprise.
I’ve never seen this expression on the boss’s face, this kind of… an expression that is obviously super invincible and happy but I have to hold back.
Shen Kuo turned around and said to several men in suits: “Sorry, I have something temporarily here. The meal is cancelled.”
“Manager Shen, you are busy.”
“We will make an appointment next time.”
The expressions of a few men looking at Lu Yan also changed. Shen Kuo unexpectedly broke an appointment for a woman. This was the first time that he had come!
Who is this little girl!
Seeing that Shen Kuo readily agreed, Lu Yan was uneasy, and said quickly: “Uncle Shen, if you are busy with important things…”
Before she finished her voice, she was interrupted by Shen Kuo: “It’s not important, I’m not busy.”
The lady at the front desk opened her mouth wide and was stunned. These customers are five-star customers of Xingchen. He actually said “not important” in front of everyone. This…
What’s the trouble!
Lu Yan finally relaxed, and said to him: “Then let’s watch the movie, where should we go to see it?”
“Come to the living room of my office, there is a projector.”
“Oh!”
Everyone watched as Shen Kuo took the young girl to the office. At the elevator door, he graciously blocked the elevator door for her and let her go in.
In the past, this was simply impossible. Whether in the company or anywhere, only other people served Mr. Shen. How could he do these things himself!
Until the elevator door closed, everyone’s astonished eyes could not be drawn back.
It’s… incredible.
Lu Yan followed Shen Kuo to the top-level office. The side door of the office opened, and it was a semi-arc-shaped living room, about 100 square feet, with fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling windows. The view was quite wide, allowing you to see half of the city at a glance.
Lu Yan walked to the window and looked out. She had never overlooked the entire city from this angle.
Now it’s getting late, and the city has already lit up with neon lights.
Shen Kuo went to the coffee shop to make a drink. How dare Lu Yan work? The big man poured water for her and quickly took out the Coke from the plastic bag: “Uncle Shen, I brought a drink!”
Shen Kuo still used a juicer to squeeze a glass of tomato juice and handed it to Lu Yan, “Drink it.”
Lu Yan took the tomato juice: “How did Uncle Shen know that I like to drink tomato juice?”
Shen Kuo smiled faintly: “I know more things.”
“My dad told you.”
Shen Kuo couldn’t comment.
Lu Yan shrugged, “My dad has a big mouth, and he likes to talk about me outside, regardless of whether others want to hear it or not.”
“He loves you very much, and, as he is today, others will be happy to listen to every word he says.”
“That’s not necessarily.” Lu Yan sat on the sofa and looked at Shen Kuo: “Like Uncle Shen, you are my dad’s boss, so you won’t have the patience to listen to what he says about me.”
Shen Kuo’s eyes became very gentle: “No, I like to listen.”
“Hey?”
He pulled off his black tie, hung it in the cloakroom, and explained: “It is very happy to have a daughter at home, I am envious.”
Lu Yan laughed: “Then you have one too.”
“Well, later… let’s talk about it.”
At this moment, Assistant Qin knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he walked in: “Mr. Shen, do you need anything on your side…?”
Assistant Qin was planning to leave work, but when he saw his colleagues all fell out, he said that Mr. Shen had brought a girl into the office living room and never came out.
As the “great eunuch” who has stayed with Shen Kuo’s right-hand man, Assistant Qin’s first reaction is work-related.
Of course it’s work. Apart from work, how can Mr. Shen bring a girl into the office with a clean body!
So he rushed over in a hurry, but he didn’t expect that after coming in, he saw a coffee table full of snacks and…Coke in Shen Kuo’s hand.
Mr. Shen is actually… drinking Coke?
And this girl actually took off her shoes and squatted on the sofa where President Shen sleeps and rests on weekdays!
My god, what’s the situation?
Seeing Assistant Qin coming over, Shen Kuo asked Lu Yan simply, “Are you hungry?”
“fine.”
“We are eating and watching a movie, what do you want to eat?”
Assistant Qin thought he was listening, what? Mr. Shen wants to watch a movie with this girl? Also watch a movie while eating! ! !
Lu Yan rubbed her nose and said with a smile, “In fact, I want to eat hot pot.”
In the past few days, her parents didn’t let her eat spicy food, but she was greedy to death.
Shen Kuo didn’t hesitate to turn around and said to Assistant Qin: “Go shopping, and find a pot.”
Assistant Qin:? ? ?
To be…here, this spotlessly clean business living room…hot pot? ? ?
This is too indulgent!
Lu Yan also felt that the place was too clean and it was not very good for hot pot, so she waved her hand quickly and said, “Don’t be so troublesome. Let’s go to dinner after watching the movie. Anyway, I brought snacks.”
Shen Kuo nodded and agreed to Lu Yan’s proposal.
Assistant Qin saw that Shen was always going to watch a movie with this girl, and hurriedly fiddled with the projection equipment in the room.
This projection device has been basically idle since the day it was installed. Shen Kuo does not watch movies or TV shows. Most of the time, he is at work, and he sleeps and rests in the living room.
Shen Kuo said to Assistant Qin: “You go out, I’ll come.”
Assistant Qin knew that Shen always thought he was getting in the way, so he hurriedly quit the living room and closed the door.
A large group of gossiping colleagues had already gathered outside the office. Seeing Assistant Qin came out, they rushed forward and asked curiously, “What’s the situation?”
Assistant Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said deeply: “President Shen…may be really dating.”
The movie projection began. To ensure the clarity of the video playback, Shen Kuo turned off all the lights in the room and then sat down on the sofa.
However, he did not sit on the sofa where Lu Yan was, but the single sofa on the other side.
He didn’t want this girl to be upset.
Lu Yan was a little nervous at first, and a little excited when she was nervous, but she noticed that Shen Kuo behaved very gentlemanly.
Therefore, being older has the benefit of being older. He is very considerate of others, not as clumsy and reckless as boys of the same age.
In fact, what she didn’t know was that the young Shen Kuo was so stupid that he couldn’t slow down and wait for her when he first fell in love.
Many things were learned a little bit later…
The plots of Stephen Chow’s movies are very familiar and have been seen many times. So Lu Yan watched and chatted with him.
“Uncle Shen, who is the person you are waiting for?”
“It’s my high school classmate.” Shen Kuo took a sip of a drink and replied: “I was very poor at that time, she was very rich, and always liked to buy me Coke.”
Later, the taste of Coke remained in his memory, with the breath of the whole summer.
Lu Yan showed a sly look: “Oh, I see, it’s Uncle Shen your first love!”
“You are very smart.”
Lu Yan said sensibly, “I always remember my first love, but where is she now?”
“Lost.”
Shen Kuo was playing with an old steel lighter: “This is the present she gave me for my eighteenth birthday.”
Lu Yan took the lighter and looked at it against the sun. The lighter body has a steam engine embossment, which is quite exquisite, but because of its long history, it is already a little yellowed.
“Eighteen years old.” She sighed: “That’s been a long time!”
“Yeah, it’s been a long time.”
“Uncle Shen, you must love her very much.” Lu Yan said enviously: “I heard my dad say that you haven’t been married for so many years. You must be very lonely.”
Shen Kuo smiled faintly: “Actually, she is by my side.”
“Hey??”
“I often go to see her, but she doesn’t know.”
“Oh, I see, you must have seen her many times in the dark!”
Shen Kuo nodded.
“Then why not show up and let her know you are waiting for her.”
Shen Kuo narrowed his eyes, looked at the age-old lighter in his hand, and said, “At this stage, I may not be a suitable partner for her.”
Lu Yan squatted on the sofa and exclaimed, “You are not a suitable partner! Just kidding!”
Shen Kuo raised his eyebrows: “Do you think I’m fine?”
“Of course, many girls want to marry you!”
Handsome and golden, with such a fascinating temperament, even if he doesn’t say anything, just standing there is enough to kill the whole world in seconds.
Lu Yan really thinks that he is good and a girl he likes. What a beautiful girl!
However, Lu Yan wondered to herself that what Shen Kuo said…mostly was an excuse. At his age, it is impossible that his first love has not yet been married.
If they were not married, the two would have been together long ago.
So Lu Yan concluded that the reason Shen Kuo couldn’t ask for it was definitely because the other party was married.
I don’t know why, thinking about this, she was inexplicably relieved.
The movie has been on one third, and the two of them were busy chatting and didn’t watch much. Lu Yan saw her sitting on the sofa next to her, watching her sideways, and simply said to him, “Uncle Shen, or sit here. Bar.”
Watching a movie without your neck, it’s weird.
Shen Kuo did not refuse, sitting next to Lu Yan, Lu Yan shared his potato chips with him, Shen Kuo refused: “I don’t eat snacks, I…”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan grabbed the French fries and stuffed it into his mouth.
Shen Kuo:…
He will never forget that Lu Yan did the same when he first watched a movie.
“Try it, it’s delicious.” Lu Yan squinted at him and smiled: “Just coke, it’s full of happiness!”
With a “creak”, Shen Kuo crushed the French fries.
Indeed, very happy.
“Xiaoyan, I…”
“Um?”
Seeing the girl’s young and beautiful face, Shen Kuo finally stopped talking, his eyes full of sentiment returned.
“It’s okay, I have something to say to you later.”
Seeing two-thirds of the movie, my dad’s phone call came in suddenly, Lu Yan ran to the corner and answered the phone quietly——
“dad…”
“Where are you?”
“I’m watching a movie with… friends.”
“Where to watch the movie?”
“Electric… Cinema.”
“Nonsense!” Lu Zhen amplified her voice, and even Shen Kuo on the sofa could hear it.
“You girl, you still lied, right? I know all about it, I know who you are with!”
Several large groups within the group have spread, and now all members of the company know that Shen Kuo brought a young girl into the office to watch a movie together!
As the director of the company, Lu Zhen is naturally in the group.
Who else can let Shen Kuo bring into the office besides his little girl?
Lu Yan shivered with fright: “Dad…”
“to be honest.”
“I’m…I…”
Lu Yan was too scared to cry.
At this moment, Shen Kuo took the phone and said in a deep voice, “Stay with me, Lu Zhen, what’s your opinion?”
