Feed You Sweets - Chapter 37
Wei Ruxia went back to the hotel and took a shower. After washing, she called her father in England. The phone was quickly connected, and his father’s voice came. Wei Ruxia’s brows softened and she smiled: “Dad, what are you doing?”
Wei Zishan’s eight-year rehabilitation career has been regular and organized. Even if he didn’t say anything, Wei Ruxia could guess what he was doing. But the conversation between the father and the daughter, mindless and casual, is nothing more than small talk between you and me.
“Look at the script the students just sent over. The jet lag hasn’t reversed yet, right?” Wei Zishan asked softly. After the operation, Wei Zishan’s vitality was severely injured. Even after so many years of rehabilitation, he has not fully recovered, and his speech is not as full of anger on the stage before.
Wei Zishan’s serious illness spent all his family savings. Wei Ruxia started working after graduating from university. Nevertheless, the family’s economic situation is still not optimistic. Knowing that he had dragged down his daughter, Wei Zishan also worked very hard. In eight years, he recovered to the level of others in ten years. Now his condition gradually stabilized, he found a friend in the theater and introduced a part-time job for students to correct scripts.
Taking the remote control to close the curtains, Wei Ruxia responded. In fact, after a busy day today, plus not sleeping yesterday, she is very tired now. But the body is sleepy, but the spirit is still awake, this feeling is too tormented.
Wei Zishan could hear the exhaustion in his daughter’s voice. He felt a little distressed and said to Wei Ruxia: “You don’t have to worry about me. I have no problem taking care of myself now. Alan will take me to the hospital regularly.”
Alan is one of Wei Zishan’s students, only 19 years old this year, sophomore in the Drama Academy. Because I saw Wei Zishan’s performance of “The Wind and Sand”, he was a small fan of Wei Zishan. Sometimes Wei Zishan would give him acting lessons. He also likes to be with Wei Zishan. During Wei Ruxia’s return to China, he will take him to the hospital.
“Okay, then I’ll go back and invite him to dinner. I should be able to go back in a month.” Wei Ruxia said her plan after a little relieved. In fact, it took far more than a month to make a commercial. She has been writing about this plan since the beginning of the year, and now it’s about to be filmed before returning to Ancheng.
After he fell ill, Wei Ruxia left him for the first time for so long. According to common sense, young people at Wei Ruxia’s age are either working hard outside, or falling in love and getting married, while Wei Ruxia has zero love life and has been running around making money to support her family.
There was no voice on the other end of the phone. Wei Ruxia was afraid that her father’s emotions were wrong. She quickly said: “The spokesperson for my ad this time is my high school classmate. At that time, she was specially recruited by the Film Academy. Now she is a very famous star. “
“Did you not contact other classmates when you went back?” Wei Zishan asked, “Where is Luo Tao?”
Wei Zishan didn’t know her previous relationship with Luo Tang, but thought they were close friends. After she arrived in the UK, she rarely had contact with people in China, and she didn’t know if she contacted Luo Tao this time when she returned to China.
After hearing his father’s words, Wei Ruxia smiled and said, “Do you remember him?”
“When you first came to Ancheng, he always took care of you. Later you lived in his house for more than a year.” Wei Zishan said what he knew, and then asked Wei Ruxia: “Did you forget?”
Wei Ruxia looked up at the ceiling, her eyes dry because she couldn’t sleep. She pulled the blindfold next to her and said as she put it on, “I haven’t forgotten it. But he seems to have moved from Love’s apartment, and I don’t have his contact information. And I haven’t seen him for so many years, and I don’t know if there is time to meet.”
What’s more, Luo Tang might not be willing to see her, Wei Ruxia remembered the man he saw at Starbucks this afternoon.
After hanging up the phone with her father, Wei Ruxia didn’t fall asleep either. A tree of infinite flowers bloomed in her mind, and she was sleeping while counting the lace. The infinity flower is like a thread, bringing out all the clear and unclear memories at once. Later, she didn’t know whether she was dreaming or remembering, and fell asleep in a hazy manner.
Wei Ruxia took a sip of ice American, and the cold bitter coffee made her a little more conscious. She watched the film that was just taken, and communicated with the photographer, but she didn’t even notice anyone coming by.
“Mr. Cen.” Tongtong called out again, and Wei Ruxia came back to her senses.
Seeing Cen Nianbai who was standing next to him smiling, Wei Ruxia became conscious and laughed. She turned her head and scratched the film and said, “When did you come here?”
Cen Nianbai wore a formal suit, and the top layer was too hot. He took off his coat and inside was a white shirt. The tie at the collar of the shirt was slightly loose, exposing the man’s wheaten skin. He looks very outstanding, his features are profound and enduring, his hair is meticulously combed, and the corners of his eyes rise when he laughs, which always brings a sense of frivolous flamboyance.
He is indeed qualified to make publicity. Cen Nianbai is an inferior son who founded the yi group from scratch. Currently, he has a firm foothold in Ancheng and is a domineering president.
“Just finished the meeting.” Cen Nianbai glanced at Wei Ruxia’s ice American style, then glanced at her face, stretched out her hand to hold her low shoulders, and said: “Let’s go for dinner, what time are these? If you are not hungry, others should be hungry too.”
Pulled up by Cen Nianbai, Wei Ruxia glanced at the time. It was already 12:30 noon. She smiled and said sorry to everyone. After finishing work, she followed Cen Nianbai to the top floor.
“American coffee is too full.” Wei Ruxia said, and wanted to drink again.
Cen Nianbai reached out and took the coffee in her hand while walking, and threw it into the trash can next to it. He took out a paper towel to wipe the moisture on his hand, and asked, “Then you still eat or not?”
Speaking of which, Wei Ruxia is really not very hungry.
Seeing that Wei Ruxia just smiled and did not answer, Cen Nianbai changed the subject and said, “It’s okay if you don’t eat. I will end work early in the evening and go to the Green Bamboo Club for a dinner with me.”
“Forget it, I don’t have much energy.” The dinners that Cen Nianbai attended were all commercial in nature. She didn’t get along well with her, and she wanted to go back to bed earlier.
The two are in the elevator now. Wei Ruxia is leaning on the elevator, looking at the elevator instructions in the elevator in a daze. Cen Nianbai looked at her lack of interest and asked, “Are you really going to go back to the UK after this filming? This dinner is hosted by the Ancheng Chamber of Commerce, and there will be many Ancheng company executives. I can recommend it to you. A few, domestic directors are paid more for commercials than abroad.”
Wei Ruxia and Cen Nianbai met at Fashion Week, and they meet at French Fashion Week almost every year, and they are considered old friends. He knows the situation in Wei Ruxia’s family and knows what can be used to impress her.
Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, Wei Ruxia nodded and said: “Okay, then I will trouble you. But I am not going to pick it up soon. I can’t leave my dad for too long.”
The Green Bamboo Club is located in the South New District of Ancheng. The venue is halfway up the mountain. The venue for the dinner is a semi-open hall. Standing in the courtyard outside, you can see the sea not far away.
The sea breeze can be felt here, but the sea is not real. You can only see the standing lighthouse, shining little by little.
Cen Nianbai and Wei Ruxia went early and there were not many people. Since they were members of the Chamber of Commerce, they were all old acquaintances of Cen Nianbai. Wei Ruxia followed Cen Nianbai with a wine glass and received a few business cards.
In fact, Cen Nianbai thinks that she is a sweet potato. Generally, large companies have a dedicated team for shooting promotional videos, but she is just an individual and does not have an advantage at all.
Cen Nianbai’s ability to build the Yi Group from scratch to its current status is inseparable from his exquisiteness. He is very suitable for this occasion and has extremely strong diplomatic skills.
After taking Wei Ruxia to meet people in a circle, Cen Nianbai stood by the pool with her wine glasses. From time to time, someone came to talk to him, and Cen Nianbai responded with a smile.
As soon as the people around him left, Wei Ruxia said to Cen Nianbai: “You go find them, I just need to be here.”
On this occasion, Cen Nianbai has many friends, which is a good opportunity for communication. She felt like a drag oil bottle, chaining Cen Nianbai to her side.
“No.” Cen Nian didn’t care in vain. After speaking, he raised an eyebrow and smiled and reached out to clink glasses with her.
Both of them have a good drinking capacity, and they are half of them. As soon as Cen Nianbai’s cup came over, Wei Ruxia smiled and toasted to bump into him. There was a crisp sound when the glasses collided, and Wei Ruxia heard a small commotion over there as he sipped the wine.
“Mr. Luo, you are here.”
Taking a sip of red wine, Wei Ruxia raised her eyes to the direction of the commotion. She had glanced casually, but when she saw “Mr. Luo” himself, her gaze froze.
Even though the banquets were all business celebrities, they were also divided into high and low. This Mr. Luo obviously belongs to the “high” level. When I just came over, there were some people around me.
Mr. Luo was wearing a well-tailored suit. The dark blue suit made his complexion white in the night breeze. He is tall, 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and slender. His brow bones, nose bridge, and mountain roots are all high and delicate, supporting his entire face, full of extravagance. Under the high brow bones, a pair of dark eyes are like the sea under the night, only to hear the sea breeze is not bottomless.
In the communication with several people, he raised his lips slightly. Even so, his temperament still carries some high coldness, like a sea **** coming from the sea, with a gentle scum-like elite.
Wei Ruxia thought she would hesitate to recognize Luo Tang after meeting him, but no matter how much his appearance and personality changed, she would not feel the same when she saw him.
It was Luo Tang, the same person Starbucks saw that day.
When Wei Ruxia looked at Luo Tang, Luo Tang noticed her sight and looked over. His eyes were narrow, long and deep, he only raised his eyes and glanced at her, and quickly retracted, the whole process, his eyes and expressions were calm.
The night by the sea was not so hot. Wei Ruxia’s hand holding the wine glass was slightly moist. She changed her hand to hold the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.
She recognized Luo Tao, but Luo Tao could not recognize her. Wei Ruxia didn’t know how to describe her current mood. It didn’t hurt or itchy, and she was a little confused.
“He is Luo Yuan Luo of the lo company, which is an Internet company. There will be new games launched recently. However, their games have a dedicated publicity team and may not hire external directors.” Cen Nianbai said flatly. .
Luo Tao and him are completely two entrepreneurial models. He started from scratch, while Luo Tao is much easier. The Luo family is a big family in Ancheng, a scholarly family, rich and powerful. When the real estate was on fire, Luo Qing’s father, Luo Qinggu, had a good real estate business. In the past two years, the Internet has become a hot topic, and Luo Tang opened an Internet company.
Although Luo Tao’s company affirms the support and help of his family, Cen Nianbai does not deny that Luo Tao is outstanding. When he was a graduate student, he formed a team to make games. After the game’s great success, the Internet related industries are now also expanding. Lo has become the leading Internet company in China.
Everyone thinks that Lo’s boss is a fat mansion, but when Lo first went public a few years ago, it was rated as one of the ten outstanding youth representatives of Ancheng by the city government. When the media interviewed him, Mr. Luo became a leader. A popular lover who has beauty, talent and gold.
This is not the same as Wei Ruxia thought. Based on his performance in high school, Wei Ruxia once thought he would become a cartoonist.
Cen Nianbai renewed the wine for Wei Ruxia and stretched out his arm to let Wei Ruxia carry it. He still wanted to introduce Luo Tao to Wei Ruxia, and maybe he could take Lo’s big order. Lo must be paid much better than their company, and Wei Ruxia might stay in China for this reason.
When Wei Ruxia followed Cen Nianbai, she heard Luo Yuan talking to the people around her. The man Wei Ruxia had just said hello to him. He was a big man in the mahogany business, followed by his daughter, gentle and dignified. When her father introduced Luo Tang to her, the woman blushed slightly.
Dinner parties are not just about business negotiations, but sometimes they turn into blind dates.
Wei Ruxia took a breath, raised her eyebrows, and smiled in her heart.
“Hello, Mr. Luo.” Cen Nianbai and Luo Tao had a relationship, and he smiled and shook hands with Luo Tao.
He did not come alone, there was a woman by his side. The woman wore a leaf yellow silk sling evening dress, which was simple and simple. The evening dress sketched out her beautiful figure, matching her smile with some indifferent amorous feelings. She is very tall, wearing low-heeled shoes on her feet, revealing half of her well-proportioned white calves.
Luo Xuan only took a look, then withdrew his gaze, he exchanged greetings with Cen Nianbai. The voice is low and nice, with a decent smile on the corners of his lips, far from the former school bully who was so cold that he dared not approach him.
He became very mature, very elite, and very gentle, still carrying a fairy aura, as if he was just talking.
Wei Ruxia listened to his voice, syllables popped out of the piano, and flowers bloomed in her ears. She didn’t even hear Cen Nianbai introduced her.
“Ruxia.” Cen Nianbai smiled helplessly and called again.
“Huh?” Wei Ruxia returned to her senses, raised her eyes to meet Luo Tang’s gaze, she smiled, stretched out her hand to shake hands with the man, and said: “Hello, Mr. Luo, my name is Wei Ruxia. Actually, I did it with you. Two years of neighbors.”
Cen Nianbai raised her eyebrows in surprise. Why didn’t she tell him this?
Not only was Cen Nianbai surprised, the corner of Luo Tang’s eyes in front of him was also slightly raised. He looked at Wei Ruxia, stretched out his hand to shake hands with her, and said solemnly.
“Oh? What two years?”
Holding the man’s hand, Wei Ruxia’s palm was a little sweaty and cold, while his hands were much warmer and drier. Wei Ruxia smiled slightly and said with a faint smile: “Mr. Luo is really an honorable person who forgets more things. If you can’t remember, you can’t remember.”
Wei Ruxia and Luo Tang talked about the commercials. As Cen Nianbai said, lo’s promotional videos have a special publicity team to do.
Since the business couldn’t agree, Wei Ruxia didn’t stalemate with him much. After staying with Cen Nianbai for a while, the spirits couldn’t hold back. Cen Nianbai did not stay, and left with her early.
Sent back to the hotel by Cen Nianbai, Wei Ruxia went to take a bath. After taking a shower, she took a mobile phone out of the suitcase. This is the cell phone she used in high school, and she used it until she graduated from college.
The software in the phone was not deleted, Wei Ruxia found the WeChat icon and clicked on it.
In the contact column, the top one is “Sugar Tang”. Wei Ruxia swipes up and down after clicking it. The chat history is either a topic or a video start or a reminder to hang up. Above each prompt, the current date is displayed.
Wei Ruxia clicked on Luo Tang’s circle of friends, and the circle of friends was empty, showing a line. This either means that Luo Tao’s account has been abandoned, or that Luo Tao has blocked her.
Thinking of this, Wei Ruxia cut off the chat history between her and Luo Tang, then edited the picture, used a pen to draw the date on the chat history, and wrote the three words “the last two years” on the picture.
After finishing the picture, Wei Ruxia posted the picture. The picture was sent very smoothly, without showing that the other party rejected it, nor did it show that she was not a friend of the other party, Wei Ruxia was taken aback.
Luo Tang was sitting in the dark room. He looked at the message he had just received on WeChat. In the dark, the man’s eyes seemed to be darker than the night. He put his arm on the sofa and chuckled.
You still know to come back.
The author has something to say:
Tangtang: You still know how to come back.
