Chapter 10

They didn’t go to Chang’an Club, but turned back to Walker.

Fei Nanzhou stopped in front of a bookshelf, took out a book and read it for a while, then said with a smile: "You are a cultural person, and the books you read are all of such high quality."

"You are joking." Shen Cong bent over Pour tea at the coffee table.

The tea was slowly poured into the cup. Although it was lifted high, not a drop was spilled, and the clear and sweet sound was like the sound of a harp.

He was well-educated and became famous at a young age. He was mentored by a former senior executive of a central financial enterprise. He was also very high-spirited and did not take anyone seriously. Later, my father was betrayed by a close relative and committed suicide in prison. After the tree fell down and the hozens scattered, I realized the warmth and coldness of human relationships. My former uncle turned against him and demanded debts, leaving his orphans and widowed mother no chance of survival.

He was desperate, and on a rainy day, he knelt in front of his former mentor and begged him to take him in.

In full view of the public, his mentor could only accept him and feel some compassion for him because of his own reputation.

Later, he went overseas, used his strong ability to control the financial market, and made many friends. He only returned to China four years ago.

I met Xu Zhi on a rainy day.

He was invited to attend a large lecture hall at his alma mater, and the fake faces that greeted him made him a little annoyed. He was obviously used to it, but he was inexplicably irritable that day.

Maybe this bad weather reminded him of the past, the day when his father passed away, which was so gloomy.

"A cup of latte, please make it hot." A sweet voice came from my ear.

Delicate yet crisp, the sound was pleasant to the ears, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the gloomy sky, dispelling the coldness and boredom in his heart.

He looked back and saw a face as bright and delicate as a peach blossom in March.

She has a face with oval seeds, willow eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and a small pear dimple on her lips when she smiles.

As if aware that he was looking at her, the girl looked over with a frown.

She was not very happy at first, but after seeing him, she blinked her eyes, and then she smiled and looked him up and down for a while, then raised her chin and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

She saw the secret in her eyes. Partly provocative and partly teasing, he smiled meaningfully and placed a banknote squarely on the table: "Standing at the door of the coffee shop, of course I was looking at what kind of coffee there was."

Xu Zhi was choked and couldn't. I thought he would answer like this.

He looks a little angry but embarrassed, which is very cute.

Later, when the two of them were together, he held her hand, looked back, smiled, and said seriously: "Actually, I was looking at you that day."

Her face flushed, she got into his arms and hummed, "I knew it a long time ago. "

How are you getting used to in Walker?" Fei Nanzhou walked around to sit on the side of the coffee table, took the tea from him, took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case, and gave one to him. .

Shen Cong smiled and refused: "I don't smoke."

Fei Nanzhou didn't force himself, bit the cigarette into his mouth, flicked the igniter, and nodded one.

His eyes were like a deep pool, with a hint of careless mockery. He didn't know who he was laughing at: "It's rare for a man not to smoke."

Shen Cong: "My girlfriend doesn't like me smoking."

Fei Nanzhou's smoking movements were slightly stagnant, and he He threw the igniter to the corner of the table and said with a smile, "Isn't Kong Lingqi just a chain smoker?"

Kong Lingqi was his fiancée, and their wedding date was set. This was no secret in the circle.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cong denied it: "It's not her."

He paused and said, "It's my ex-girlfriend."

Fei Nanzhou took the cigarette from his mouth and lightly dusted the ashes.

The tea soaked his handsome face, making his features more and more black and white, and his dark eyes were bottomless.

The atmosphere in the air seemed a little gloomier.

After a while, he raised his eyes with a smile: "Then you should be more careful. Kong Lingqi is a notoriously jealous person. If you talk about your ex-girlfriend after we broke up, I think you are going to get upset."

He This man is born with a strong aura, and many people dare not look directly into his eyes.

However, Shen Cong didn't seem to feel the pressure of this thunderous force, and said with a normal expression: "I will definitely remember your teachings."

Fei Nanzhou laughed loudly, and did not pursue his transgression after laughing.

-Duan

Hong never contacted her again, and Xu Zhi originally thought that things would go away like this.

Unexpectedly, he found her company that Saturday, driving a super cool Koenigsegg Agera R, with a girl on his left hand and another in his arms on his right hand. He parked the car in front of her company.

Xu Zhi was shocked. She wanted to leave but he said that if she dared to leave, he would hang a banner in front of her company and make her famous throughout the CBD.

He said this as if she was a heartless person.

She was quite sad before, but now she is completely speechless.

Was she blind in the first place? How did you get into trouble like this? Are the brain structures of these rich second generation people different from those of ordinary people?

What was even more embarrassing was that from the corner of her eye, she saw a man and a woman coming out of the office building diagonally opposite, and they quickly approached.

"What are you doing?" Kong Lingqi looked surprised and asked with interest.

She is a delicate and beautiful woman. She smiles without showing her teeth. She looks extremely elegant, but she has a strong aura and momentum that is as unpredictable as a fog.

Shen Cong's expression was dull: "There's nothing interesting about young people's tricks. Let's go."

But she seemed quite interested and said to have a look.

What could be more embarrassing than this?

At that moment, Xu Zhi felt like a monkey in a zoo, being watched wantonly.

In fact, when she broke up with Shen Cong, she thought about what kind of woman could make Shen Cong give up on her?

I also thought secretly, isn't it just relying on the power of the family?

Only when Xu Zhi saw Kong Lingqi in person did he realize how wrong he was. Appearance, figure, temperament...she is not inferior to her in everything.

She lost completely, but in this silent contest, people didn't recognize her at all.

It was a show, a pastime, and she was the clown performing.

Xu Zhi's face felt like it was pricking with needles.

She didn't want to make people laugh, so she called the police directly. But because the commotion was too ugly, Shang Xiuping called her in afterwards and asked her to handle her personal affairs. This really damaged the company's image.

Xu Zhi lowered her head and listened to the lecture. She had nothing to say to refute, and it was not easy to refute. When she walked out of his office, her mood was extremely low.

At some point, it started to snow again in the sky. It was like continuous snowfall, and it fell slowly to the ground, as if it was suspended in the gray-blue mid-air.

Xu Zhi stood for a while before she felt cold. She took out her mobile phone and prepared to hail a taxi.

But seeing the long queue, she felt heartbroken. She felt that she might not be able to wait until midnight. After hesitating for a while, she walked back.

When he turned around, he saw an acquaintance: "Mr. Fei?"

Fei Nanzhou and Shen Qian were coming out of the elevator and smiled when they saw her.

Xu Zhi stood up straight quickly, realizing that her current appearance might not look good.

"Mr. Fei..." Shen Qian turned to ask him for instructions.

"You go first."

Shen Qian left in response.

"You haven't eaten yet?" His eyes fell on her face.

Xu Zhi instinctively wiped her eyes again and said in a harsh voice, "I was planning to eat."

Unexpectedly, he said, "Let's go."

She didn't react.

Then I saw him shaking his head helplessly: "I didn't eat either."

The CBD was brightly lit at night and extremely bustling. After the snow stopped, the flow of people decreased significantly, but the flow of traffic continued. There were many more snow clearing workers on both sides of the street, and some Spontaneously came out to shovel snow.

The days are short and the nights are long in winter, so when we arrived at the restaurant, the lights were already on.

This restaurant is on the top floor of a well-known hotel. It is made of glass and steel bars. Standing above and looking down, the pedestrians are like ant carts and the water is like dragons. It gives you a proud feeling of overlooking all living beings. It also makes people feel weak at their feet and heart-broken. Be afraid.

But the person opposite her looked calm, raising her glass and sipping lightly, which made her look particularly conspicuous against her pale complexion.

Xu Zhi suspected that he was deliberately teasing her and chose the window seat.

"Why, you don't like Western food?" Fei Nanzhou raised his eyes and asked her.

Xu Zhi shook her head: "I...I'm a little afraid of heights."

He laughed, as if he thought she was really funny.

However, her mood was obviously not high. Fei Nanzhou asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xu Zhi said "Yeah" softly, and suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to: "Mr. Fei, do you think I'm a failure?" "

What do you mean?"

"A lot of people chase me, but they are all motivated by sex. Every relationship fails."

"A lot of people chase me?"

She mistakenly thought this was a denial of her charm and emphasized: "Of course!"

He suppressed a smile and silently looked her up and down. His eyes are deep and domineering when he looks at a person seriously. There is an indescribable power in them that makes people feel nervous.

She didn't know if she had said something wrong, her heart was pounding wildly, but after waiting for a while, he smiled meaningfully, "Well, she is quite beautiful." She

was both slender and agile, and developed. She is exceptionally good-looking, with a slender waist and full breasts, like a flower in bud, with a hint of green sweetness, a hint of subtle coquettishness in her coolness, and a kind of innocent sex appeal.

The plain face is actually very pleasing to the eye, and the plainer the facial features are, the more breathtakingly beautiful they are, as if they are the most exquisite handicrafts and do not need any more modifications.

Xu Zhi noticed that his intense gaze and extraordinarily focused gaze were different from usual, and she felt inexplicably uneasy, so she raised her glass and took a sip.

She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, how did you see that I was in a bad mood? Is it obvious?"

"Usually when I sit down, I eat all kinds of things, looking like a ghost who starved to death and reincarnated. Today I sit down. It's been half an hour, and nothing on the plate has been moved."

Xu Zhi's face turned red and she whispered: "How can I have it?"

He smiled slightly, stopped teasing her, and handed the sweet soup on his hand. She said: "Eat as much as you can. There is no obstacle in life that you can't overcome. Get some sleep and the sun will rise tomorrow."

His words were light and gentle, but they were inexplicably convincing and particularly powerful.

Xu Zhi felt that her mood was not so bad anymore, so she took it obediently and started eating it one bite at a time.

"Mr. Fei, have you ever encountered particularly difficult times?" She was quite curious and glanced at him quietly, "A person like you should..."

"What kind of person am I?"

She pursed her lips. His eyes rolled around: "It's better not to say anything."

"You've already said it, why do you take it back?" he said seriously.

"Then I really said it, you can't be angry."

"Am I so stingy? You can say it, but it doesn't matter."

She glanced at him quietly and said: "It looks very polite, but in fact He doesn't look down on others very much, he is arrogant and arrogant..."

He laughed and stared at her with a half-smile, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

Xu Zhi's scalp was numb: "You promised not to be angry?"

Unexpectedly, he became silent the next second, picked up the goblet and touched her: "I'm just teasing you."

Xu Zhi said: "Don't always be so Scared me, I'm a coward."

Fei Nanzhou took a sip of wine and smiled slightly: "I see."

Although he said this, he actually didn't think so.

In fact, his temper is not very good. He is very demanding and treats others even more than himself. If he cannot meet his requirements, he is a waste in his eyes. He cannot bear it at all. It is common for the people under his command to be scolded like dogs by him. The juniors such as Hang Jiaze and Fei Nanxi hid when they saw him, but she seemed not to be afraid of him.

Xu Zhi: "You haven't talked about yourself yet?"

"What did you say about me?"

"Have you ever encountered a particularly sad obstacle?" She really wanted to talk to someone today.

Because of the alcohol, I couldn't help but let out a lot of things that I usually hold in my heart.

She held her chin, looked at him seriously and said, "A person like you, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and stood at the top of the pyramid as soon as he was born, shouldn't have encountered any setbacks, right?"

He smiled and asked her : "Is that what you think?"

She maintained the same posture and continued to look at him: "Isn't it?"

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Do you understand this truth? The higher you stand, the more weight you put on your shoulders. The heavier the burden, once you fall, you will lose tens of millions of times more than ordinary people. Therefore, people like us must work harder and bear greater pressure than others, and we must keep moving forward. It can't stop. When my grandfather first retired, I felt like the sky was about to fall. The old and the new were changing, and the glory I had before was no longer there. If I couldn't control the situation, I would no longer be the son-in-law who responded to every call, and no one from all walks of life would give me face anymore... ..." Even though he said this, his face still showed the calmness that he would not change even if the mountain collapsed in front of him.

It seems that nothing in this world can trouble him.

In other words, he will not reveal his fragile side to others, and it will not be easily seen.

He is the proud man of heaven, and he cannot lose or be defeated.

Xu Zhi suddenly regretted that she had not witnessed everything about him. Every time she met him, it was when he was in high spirits and in his prime.

"I was joking with you before." After three rounds of drinking, he told her the truth, "I also saw what happened at the company during the day."

However, he did not come out to watch like those people.

Xu Zhi's hand holding the cup shook, but she didn't expect that the scope of her embarrassment was so wide.

"...Was I embarrassed at that time?"

"I don't know, I didn't look at it much." He smiled lightly and took a sip of wine.

Xu Zhi suddenly felt grateful: "Thank you."

His smile deepened: "Thank you for what?"

She blushed. She didn't know whether she was embarrassed by his question or she was really taken aback.

"Stop drinking." He could see that her drinking capacity was indeed not that good.

She put the wine glass into her arms and said, "I want it!"

He held back his laughter and felt a little helpless: "What if you drink too much and can't go back later?"

"Isn't it you? You won't ignore me, right?"

Her eyes were full of trust and dependence, and her tone was full of trust and dependence. There is also a hint of coquettishness that is not easy to detect, like coquettishness.

Fei Nanzhou was speechless.

He also discovered that she was accustomed to adapting to the situation. She could feel in her heart who was good to her, so she started to go to the house to reveal the tiles. She was usually very timid, a typical two-faced and cunning person.

Maybe because she drank too much, she started talking nonsense later, so he had to control her with one hand to pay the bill at the counter and ask the driver to bring the car over.

After getting on the bus, the people didn't stop and kept flopping around.

She usually seemed quite quiet, but now she was talking nonstop, pulling him to ask if she was really a failure, asking him if all men were like this, and eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.

Fei Nanzhou smiled and said nothing, raised his hand and pressed the car window: "There's no way to explain it, I don't like to play in groups."

Xu Zhi really had enough of his calm appearance and couldn't help but He stabbed: "As long as Mr. Fei wants to, not to mention two, there will be a lot of people lining up to rush up, let alone two."

The car was a little quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

The cold wind blew in, and Xu Zhi's head became clearer. It seemed that he had made a mistake.

Silence, silence again... Just when she thought the topic was going to end, he finally raised his eyes to glance at her, and responded to her joke with a smile: "Does this include you?"

Xu Zhi didn't. Thinking that he could still say such a sentence, I was stunned for a moment.

In the dark sky, his eyes were like a beam of strong light, firmly locked on her, which was different from the usual darkness and heat, and quite intriguing.

At some point he raised the soundproof glass of the back seat, and there were only two of them in the small space.

Xu Zhi quietly looked at the driver in front of him. The driver looked intently and seemed not to hear him at all.

She felt even more nervous, feeling guilty as a thief.

The older man's teasing is only brief, but it makes people think.

After a while, she looked back at him. Half of his face was immersed in shadow, occasionally illuminated for a moment by the passing light outside the window. He was half asleep and could not see clearly. But if you look closely, it seems to be as calm as usual.

What does he mean?

Xu Zhi wasn't sure if she was thinking too much.
