The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Fang Zhe wanted to slap himself and smiled awkwardly: "I'll go next door and have a look."
Li Shengli was on the phone at the door, his expression a bit ugly. Fang Zhe walked over: "What's wrong?"
"It's so easy to say that she came back and asked me to have dinner with her."
Fang Zhe: "Huh? Ang?" Li Shengli nodded with a heavy expression. Fang Zhe showed a gloating smile and said: "Then you go."
Li Shengli said: "Will you go with me?" Fang Zhe shook his head: "What are you doing? Why did you take me with you?"
"I don't think it's good news. She hasn't contacted me for several years, and now she suddenly comes back to contact me and invites me to dinner. I feel uneasy." Li Shengli looked timid, and Fang Zhe nodded: "I understand.
Did she stay abroad?"
Li Shengli nodded: "It turns out that she had a public position, but she resigned. She didn't even contact me when she returned to China to resign."
Isn’t it clear that Fang Zhe has nothing else to say? Before finalizing, ask: “She didn’t spend less on you, did she?”
Li Shengli shook his head: "Not much. In the first four years of going abroad, the total amount was like 200,000 US dollars. In the third year, I made some money and said I would go see her..." Fang Zhe looked at Li Shengli, who was hesitant to speak, and said,
Patting her on the shoulder: "Then there was no news from her. I understand. Just stop talking. How about I go with you?"
Fang Zhe became the driver again. When Li Shengli got into the passenger seat, she was still talking to herself: "I don't blame her. In those few years, people were going crazy. Every one of them wanted to get out."
"Don't talk about those years, it's the same now. Anyone who can go out will go out first." Fang Zhe reassured with a smile.
Li Ping appeared at the car door and knocked on the window a few times. Fang Zhe rolled down the window and said, "I'll do something with Shengli."
"Yeah, I understand. What happened to Shengli? His face is so ugly?"
Fang Zhe quickly interrupted: "Isn't there something wrong? Don't worry, I'll go with you and we'll get it done."
Li Ping gave Fang Zhe a faint look: "Be careful on the road and drive carefully." Fang Zhe seemed stung by this look and drove quickly.
"Where are you going?" Fang Zhe, who was driving, glanced at the restless Li Shengli. The guy came back to his senses and smiled, which was uglier than crying: "Old Mo, that's where we had our first meal alone." Fang Zhe said
Driving off: "Then I'll wait for you outside."
Li Shengli didn't say anything. Fang Zhe drove the car steadily, inserted a tape into the stereo, and a melodious singing voice came out.
"Who is knocking on my window, who is tugging at my heartstrings..."
The car is Li Shengli's Bluebird, and the tape was also bought by him. It is normal for Li Shengli to like Tsai Qin at his age.
"She likes Tsai Qin. I didn't like it at first, but then I started to like it too." Li Shengli was still talking to himself, lost in thought. Fang Zhe didn't speak anymore. What he needs now is an audience, not a personal mentor.
"At that time, I gave her a Sony Walkman. She liked it so much that she took me to the hawkers to buy Tsai Chin's tape. We searched all over the street that day, and it took us several hours to buy the tape.
.At that time, selling this was considered speculative.”
"She has been out for eight years. She wrote two letters a month in the first year, one letter every three months in the second year, and one letter a year in the third year. I have kept all these letters. I have been writing to her for four years.
Letters, one per month, and the letter written in the fourth year was returned."
"I know I'm not worthy of her. She's a college student, and I'm just a social idler."
"She couldn't make up her mind when she wanted to go abroad. I helped her make up her mind and helped her get 10,000 U.S. dollars to take with her."
Li Shengli's chatter looked very much like Mrs. Xianglin's, and it was rare for Fang Zhe to have the patience to listen to him.
In fact, Fang Zhe was very much like telling Li Shengli, "Maybe the purpose of her being with you is to go abroad." But he couldn't say this, because Fang Zhe was afraid that Li Shengli would go crazy. At this time, Fang Zhe realized that he didn't understand
Li Shengli, at least when it comes to relationships, this guy is much more serious than me.
After the car was parked, Fang Zhe looked at the door and said, "We're here, go in by yourself, I'll be waiting outside."
Li Shengli opened the door and got out of the car and looked in the rearview mirror. At this time, someone called Li Shengli. Fang Zhe heard it and looked over. He saw a fashionably dressed woman with a big afro perm and holding a hand.
A handbag. This woman is not alone. There is also a Yangma beside her. Her legs are so long that you can see them.
Fang Zhe opened the door and got out of the car. He stood by the door and looked at the two women who came over indifferently.
"What a coincidence. You've just arrived, right? This car belongs to you, I guess. You seem to be doing well, so I'm relieved."
When the woman came up, she told him that Li Shengli had his back to Fang Zhe and could not see his expression, but Fang Zhe could feel the coldness.
"This is my friend Maria. Come back to China with me. This is my ex-boyfriend, Shengli Li."
Finally, Li Shengli turned around when he introduced himself. What about his expression? It was complicated, with multiple emotions entangled together.
"This is my buddy Fang Zhe, and this is Ye Qing." When introducing each other, Fang Zhe stepped forward and extended his hand politely, and then smelled a smell of superiority.
Obviously Fang Zhe's handsomeness is a bonus, Ye Qing's smile is very real, and so is Dayang Ma's smile.
"If I had known you were bringing foreign friends here, I shouldn't have chosen Lao Mo." Li Shengli seemed to have returned to his original state.
"Are you still going to take people to eat fire? Or take people to drink bean juice?" Ye Qing seemed very natural, as if he didn't particularly care about the past, and he made a clean cut.
Li Shengli smiled a little unnaturally and said, "That's not possible. You can go and eat private food."
"Go in, don't stand outside, this place hasn't changed at all. After being away for so many years, the imperial capital has changed a lot."
Fang Zhe made up his mind to wear his ears but not his mouth. After following in, he sat aside consciously and watched the two old lovers looking at each other.
Maria beside her also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and said in English: "Where is the bathroom?"
Fang Zhe, who was pretending to read the menu, put down the menu: "I won't order this. Shengli, you can order it. Just make two copies. I'm going to smoke a cigarette." The atmosphere was so depressing that Fang Zhe couldn't stay still.
He walked out of the door and stood in a place protected from the wind. Fang Zhe lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes and looked ahead. There were so many joys and sorrows in this world. He really shouldn't have come here and suffered.
"Give me one." Dayang Ma appeared next to him and reached out for a cigarette. Fang Zhe took out a cigarette and gave her a cigarette. After lighting it, the woman muttered in English: "Damn it, Lina didn't tell the truth, so I won't
It’s so embarrassing to be here.”
"I think the same thing as you." Fang Zhe also replied in English. Maria was pleasantly surprised, and the freckles on her face bloomed: "You speak English very well. I have been in China for three days, and no one can say it."
She speaks in an American style, but Linna's speaking style is more British."
Fang Zhe can't say that he learned English in this life in order to read foreign magazines well, right? In terms of spoken English, it is the accumulation of watching countless blockbusters in his previous life.
"Undergraduate students in our country must pass CET-4 in English. Otherwise, the school will not let you graduate." Fang Zhe came up with a poor excuse to explain. Foreigners would not delve into this anyway.
"Walter, your Chinese college students still have to master a foreign language before they can graduate? How scary!"
"Yes, most people learn English but never have the chance to use it in their lifetime. But learning Japanese is of some use." Fang Zhe said this sentence in Chinese, so that she would not ask why learning Japanese is of some use.
"Oh, don't speak Chinese so fast, I can't understand." The foreign girl can actually speak Chinese, even though she speaks it awkwardly.
"You speak Chinese well." Fang Zhe spoke in English, and the foreign girl smiled proudly and said, "Of course, Lina is my Chinese teacher."
"Are you friends?" Fang Zhe asked casually, and was about to walk back. Maria followed up and said, "She is a friend, and she is also my father's wife." Huh? Fang Zhe stopped, it turned out that she was married to
She married a crooked Chinese. No wonder she smelled of being superior to others. That was enough.
Back at the restaurant, the food had been ordered but had not started to be served. When Fang Zhe appeared, Li Shengli blinked at him. Fang Zhe saw an envelope on the table and understood: "Whose is this? Put it away and don't get it dirty."
Already."
"Ye Qing gave it, two hundred thousand dollars, a Citibank cashier's check. A lot, right?" Li Shengli said mockingly, and Fang Zhe sat next to him and smiled: "It's quite a lot, enough to drive a tiger's head."
"What does Mr. Fang do?" Ye Qing's face looked a little ugly. It was Maria who took the initiative to speak and liven up the atmosphere.
Before Fang Zhe could answer, Li Shengli had already spoken: "Fang Zhe is a clothing manufacturer. One of his company's brands is called Yiren, which is exported to the United States. There are stores in Los Angeles and San Francisco."
Li Shengli's English was surprisingly good. Fang Zhe knew that it was probably because he had studied hard and prepared to go abroad to find Ye Qing. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
"Oh, I know this brand. It's very popular in universities. It's called college students' exclusive fashion. I also know that it's a Huaxia brand. I didn't expect to meet the founder in Huaxia. Fang is really amazing. Those clothes are very well designed.
They are beautiful and the price is very good. I have bought several of them.”
Probably to prove it, Maria pointed to the sweater on her body and said, "This is from the Yiren brand."
After saying this, Ye Qing's expression changed a few times. Li Shengli showed a smile and said: "Fang Zhe has always resisted going abroad. I asked him why. He said that he was doing well in China, so why go out?" This seemed to mean something.
, still said in Chinese.
Ye Qing's expression was quite awkward, and he smiled reluctantly: "Really? Mr. Fang is a great talent, and his development in the country is also the same."
"The food is served, let's eat." Fang Zhe interrupted with a smile. Seeing that there was no wine on the table, Fang Zhe asked with a smile: "Would you like some?"
Li Shengli looked at Ye Qing, who shook his head and replied: "Forget it, there is no suitable red wine here. I like French Lafite, 1982. I asked just now and the receptionist said there is no such wine."
Fang Zhe looked at her dumbfounded, no wonder Lafite is so famous, did you blow it out?
