Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The white head is as new, and the cover is as old

It wasn't until Zhuo Lincheng took him out of the crowd that Sun Wan realized what had happened. She stopped abruptly, looked at his profile, and asked eagerly, "Zhuo Lincheng, what are you doing?" "You still want to stand here and be photographed?" Zhuo Lincheng tightened his grip on her waist. "But..." Sun Wan looked back in a daze, "I'm working! If I leave like this, sister Zhang will kill me!" Zhuo Lincheng suppressed his anger, and asked again: "Are you sure you want to go back?" Sun Wan's eyes flashed with hesitation and shrinking, "I... but my salary, and my clothes... I can't leave."

She turned around and was about to go that way, Zhuo Lincheng quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, brought her in front of him, and raised her eyebrows, "Need I remind you? If you can abandon the bottom line for money today, wear Standing there like this, tomorrow you may wear less clothes for money, and if this continues, one day, you will find that you have no clothes to wear." Sun Wan's face suddenly turned pale, and all the blood in her body was frozen by his ruthless words.She lowered her head sadly, yes, what he said was unreasonable? Seeing that she no longer resisted, Zhuo Lincheng softened his tone, "Give me your boss's phone number. I'll find someone to deal with the follow-up issues."

At this moment, Sun Wan seemed to be floating in the vast sea, completely unsure of how to advance or retreat, and this person in front of her was like her driftwood. At this moment, she relied on him unconditionally.She hummed in a low voice and reported Sister Zhang's phone number to him. He made a call and asked the person on the other end to contact Sister Zhang as soon as possible to deal with Sun Wan's unilateral breach of contract. After making the phone call, he patted Sun Wan on the shoulder, "It's all right. Follow me." Sun Wan glanced at E5, "Aren't you going to see the car?"

"That's not in a hurry." After he finished speaking concisely, he took Sun Wan through several venues and took the elevator to the underground garage. He transferred the car out of the garage, drove to a luxury hotel, parked the car, and led Sun Wan into the lobby quickly. When getting on the elevator, all the guests in the elevator looked at Sun Wan with the eyes of unscrupulous women.Sun Wan was so embarrassed that she broke into a cold sweat, she kept pulling at the hem of Zhuo Lincheng's suit, wishing she could tuck into his clothes and turn into a little doll. A rich lady from Hong Kong stared contemptuously at Sun Wan, who was wearing heavy makeup. By the way, she even looked down on this hotel, and said to the people around her in half-baked Mandarin: "The hotels in the mainland are so bad, anyone with money can get in? Next time Do not live here."

After Sun Wan heard it, she almost turned into smoke and disappeared with a bang. After the elevator reached the top floor, she lowered her head and walked lightly on the thick carpet with Zhuo Lincheng. Zhuo Lincheng opened the door at the end, and said gently: "Take a shower later and rest. My assistant Holly will take care of it soon." Sun Wan nodded, blushing, took off her suit and handed it to him. Zhuo Lincheng didn't answer, his gaze unconsciously slid from her slender waist to her slender and straight white legs.Under the dim light of the hotel, her naked body glowed with an alluring luster like ivory.In the air, there was a strange atmosphere in an instant.

After a long time, he avoided his eyes and took the clothes in her hand, "The bathroom is behind you. There are bathrobes in the closet, you can use them without worry." Sun Wan didn't speak, and turned back into the bathroom.She drenched under the hot water for a long time, until the exhaustion and chill in her body were washed away, and she walked out of the bathtub barefoot. Opening the closet door, a scent of solid wood and Sun Wan's familiar honeysuckle wood scented her nostrils. This lingering scent made her dizzy.She glanced intently at the closet, where several men's bathrobes of different materials were hung, and men's underwear was neatly stacked.This too private scene made Sun Wan even more embarrassed. She bit her lower lip, grabbed a more neutral-looking white velvet bathrobe and put it on, and then dried her hair until it was half-dry, before she hesitated to come out. the door.

The curtains of the living room have been drawn, and Zhuo Lincheng, who is switching TV channels, glanced at her sensitively, and pointed to the sofa opposite, "Sit down and drink some coffee." Sun Wan sat down, held a strong coffee, looked around, and couldn't help asking: "You often live here." Zhuo Lincheng did not deny it. She hesitated for a while and asked again: "Why do you always like to live in hotels all the year round? How nice it is to live at home, it not only saves money, but also is warm." Sun Wan really felt that people who lived in hotels all year round gave others a sense of bohemian.

Zhuo Lincheng caught the implication of her words, took a sip of coffee and explained: "I invested in the construction of this place, so it can be regarded as half of my home." Sun Wan snorted, "Then... I seem to have ruined your business? The lady just now won't live here anymore." A gentle smile appeared on Zhuo Lincheng's lips, "Don't worry, she said that just because she was jealous of your beauty." Sun Wan's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't answer his words. Zhuo Lincheng was about to say something when the phone on the table rang.After listening to the phone call, he said to her gently: "The matter has been dealt with, and that sister Zhang won't blame you. In addition, Holly also helped you get back your clothes and today's salary."

After hearing this, Sun Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling melancholy: Sister Zhang's way was cut off, and she really didn't know how to make money quickly, and if she asked Li Ya, it might be impossible. Zhuo Lincheng saw through her thoughts, "You need money very much recently." Sun Wan frowned, and said dryly, "Something happened to a friend of mine, and he needs money." Zhuo Lincheng understood, and asked lightly, "Boyfriend." Sun Wan nodded. After a long time, Zhuo Lincheng said: "From the standpoint of a man, I want to remind you, never help a man in this way. Because you are infringing on his dignity and insulting his ability."

A little worry flashed in Sun Wan's moist and bright eyes, and she said in a daze, "I know, but I can't help it... I can't do nothing about it." Zhuo Lincheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her steadily. Sun Wan squinted at him, "What are you looking at?" Zhuo Lincheng smiled slightly, "I'm looking to see if you have an angel's halo on your head." Seeing him teasing her, Sun Wan lowered her head and kept silent. Seeing this situation, Zhuo Lincheng stopped laughing and asked softly, "How much do you need? I'll lend it to you."

Sun Wan quickly waved her hands, "No, no... I have hands and feet, so I can make money by myself." Sun Wan was deeply taught by her father since she was a child, no matter what the situation is, she should not borrow money from others. "You should help me build a seven-level pagoda." Sun Wan looked at his face and didn't speak for a long time, her heart wavering. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sun Wan teased back, "I'm also looking to see if you have an angel's halo on your head." In the end, she still waved her hand, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm not used to borrowing money." Zhuo Lincheng nodded, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Why don't you come and work for me. Some time ago, a business magazine asked me to do a character feature with tens of thousands of words. I personally don't like being strangers." I interviewed people personally, and I was worried that the other editor would not understand what I wanted to express, so this matter is still pending. I heard from Li Ya that your writing and insight are good, why don't you write this topic for me .” "Biography?" Sun Wan thought about it.Since she was in college, she has often helped major news and magazines write feature stories, and the protagonists she wrote were very satisfied with the biographies she wrote afterwards.If it is to do this, Sun Wan still has confidence. "On the surface, I want to write about my life and entrepreneurial history, but in fact, I want to help me do soft publicity." After a pause, he said in business, "If you can write to my satisfaction, the reward will be very generous. It will not be less than a thousand words and a thousand dollars." Sun Wan thought for a moment, looked at him and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, I will satisfy you, Zhuo-boss-ban!" Zhuo Lincheng seemed to be infected by her laughter, and laughed softly. After Sun Wan got her things, she repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Zhuo Lincheng's female assistant, Holly, and then bid farewell to Zhuo Lincheng.Zhuo Lincheng made an appointment with her for the first interview, and asked Holly to prepay half of Sun Wan's salary. Sun Wan did not refuse, and secretly made up her mind to write Zhuo Lincheng's manuscript to perfection no matter what. Early the next morning, Sun Wan took the pigeon soup that had been boiled all night in the dormitory to Gulou Hospital. I don't know if money can pass through the mind, but the edema all over Xiao's mother has disappeared, and her complexion is much better than before.Seeing her like this, Sun Wan felt that everything she did was worthwhile. Xiao's mother and Xiao Xun's stepfather met Sun Wan, and they were happy and grateful.Sun Wan was afraid that they would say something grateful to her, so she hurriedly sat down in front of Mother Xiao's bed, took out a spoonful of pigeon soup, blew it cold, and fed it to her mouth.Xiao's mother stretched out her hand weakly, and caressed Sun Wan's face, but she didn't speak, and a little moisture gradually appeared in her sunken eyes. After feeding half a bowl of soup, Sun Wan carefully cut off the pigeon meat with a spoon and fed it into her mouth little by little.While feeding, Xiao's mother's eyes slowly turned to behind Sun Wan. Sun Wan followed her gaze, and Xiao Xun, whom he had not seen for many days, was standing behind her, looking at her deeply. Sun Wan was startled, and was about to say something.He took the bowl in her hand without saying a word, and started to feed his mother skillfully. Sun Wan stood aside quietly, looking at him anxiously. After feeding her mother, Xiao Xun helped her to sleep again, then turned to Sun Wan and said, "Come out with me." In the corridor of the hospital, Sun Wan and Xiao Xun stood side by side with a distance of one meter. After a long time, Xiao Xun said hoarsely, "Thank you." Sun Wan was sensitive to the strangeness of his voice and the stronger smell of cigarettes on his body, and her heart ached, "Is it necessary to be so polite to me?" "I'm really sorry, I still drag you down." Sun Wan was a little annoyed, "What's a drag or not? Your affairs are my affairs, and in the same way, my affairs will be your affairs in the future. You always have a relationship with me like this to remind me that our relationship is Is it just my own wishful thinking?" Taking advantage of the anger, she confidently took out the 20,000 yuan that Holly had wrapped for her yesterday from her bag, and handed it to him, "There is still a little money here, which is my heart for auntie." Xiao Xun's eyes burned, and he subconsciously blocked the envelope. "No, I will figure out a way for the follow-up money." Xiao Xun stood still and said in a distant tone. Sun Wan froze for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked sadly at his indifferent profile. He added lightly: "I don't know where you got the money, but it must not be easy. I don't need you to run around and work hard for me." "But Auntie needs it!" Sun Wan suddenly became sharp, "Xiao Xun, you are too conceited! Why can't you temporarily put aside your scruples for Auntie's sake and accept my kindness." Xiao Xun also frowned and looked at her, "Sun Wan, I don't want our relationship to be mixed with too complicated things. Do you know that sometimes redemption is also a kind of destruction." Sun Wan's emotions were aroused by his cold "Sun Wan", "You think I'm self-righteous? You also think I'm like a nosy savior." "No, I didn't think so. You're a good girl, but...I'm really feeling the pressure right now." Hearing this, Sun Wan unconsciously let out a breath of cold air, and she looked at him with red eye circles, "I really don't understand what I did wrong to make you feel stressed?" Sun Wan felt a biting coldness creeping up on her shoulders. Once upon a time, she thought that the man in front of her was very sunny, but it turned out that he was just a mirror that reflected sunlight for others to see, and she would never be able to be warmed thoroughly. After a long time, she choked with sobs and took his hand, "If you always separate from me like this, then I would think that you will always separate from me like this for the rest of your life. It's useless for me to keep the money, just treat it as if you borrowed it from me." , let’s treat my aunt first.” After finishing speaking, she brushed past him without looking at him. He called her from behind, she paused for a moment, but did not look back after all. On Saturday, Sun Wan went to Wancheng as scheduled and visited Zhuo Lincheng for the first time. At the beginning of the interview, Sun Wan had a business-like understanding of Zhuo Lincheng's wealth and background, only to learn that apart from Wan Cheng and the hotel he visited last time, the most important property under his name was his college days and his family. Wanhua Securities was founded by a group of A elites.As a small retail investor, Sun Wan still has some understanding of Wanhua, which has become famous in recent years. Zhuo Lincheng briefly chatted with her about Wanhua's development, and then revealed that he planned to enter the real estate and film industries. When Sun Wan heard that he was going to play a movie, she couldn't help but step out of the reporter's role and sighed, "It seems that you are really rich, so rich that you can burn it for fun..." Zhuo Lincheng smiled, "Although it seems that making movies is a matter of losing money, but in the long run, there are still benefits." Sun Wan didn't think deeply, "Then how are you preparing?" Zhuo Lincheng avoided the topic of real estate, and mentioned, "My film and television company has already started operation, and the first movie will be made soon. I don't know if Li Ya mentioned it to you, but she is the director of this movie. The female B role is also the only signed artist of our company." Sun Wan showed the original expression, "So, you opened the film and television company for Yaya." Zhuo Lincheng neither affirmed nor denied, but just looked at her deeply. Sun Wan thought with emotion, it is not in vain that Li Ya loves her so wholeheartedly, it turns out that he also loves and spoils her sincerely. After a thought, the sense of loss pierced into her heart like a cold snake.Compared with Li Ya and Zhuo Lincheng's grand and flowery love, her love with Xiao Xun is a bit too bleak. Quiet, Sun Wan quickly adjusted her mood, glanced at the interview reminder, and was ready to move on to the next question.At this moment, Zhuo Lincheng gestured to her to wait, took out his vibrating mobile phone, and walked towards the balcony outside the living room. A few minutes later, Zhuo Lincheng who was in a good mood picked up his coat and said to Sun Wan, "Come on, follow me to a place." Sun Wan said in a daze, "But most of today's interviews have not been done yet." Zhuo Lincheng lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, "Don't you guys need to delve into the lives of the characters when you create? I'll take you to see my real life." Sun Wan suddenly realized, and without further ado, packed up the recorder and notebook, and followed him out the door. When Zhuo Lincheng's car drove into the luxurious residential area, Sun Wan suddenly became nervous, looked at Zhuo Lincheng with full attention and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" "Go to my house for lunch." Zhuo Lincheng said cheerfully, "Your food is good. My brother brought his girlfriend home to meet the parents today, and my mother cooks for herself, and let me go home for dinner." Sun Wan blurted out, "You're not kidding, are you?" Going to his house for dinner on this occasion? Even though Sun Wan was dull, she had heard about Zhuo Lincheng's family situation for so long.His father started his own company, Fupai, starting from scratch.His elder brother inherited his father's business and continued to grow the company.Now Fupai is already a multinational enterprise with a huge industry.Zhuo Lincheng's father and elder brother are also on the rich list, and they are the most popular and famous entrepreneurs in China. Sun Wan felt like being tricked, and wished she could immediately unbuckle her seat belt and jump out of the car. The always alert Zhuo Lincheng seemed completely unaware of the reason for her uncertain expression, "Don't be too nervous, just treat it as a work meal." Sun Wan looked back at the corridor covered with pines and cypresses on both sides, knowing that there was no way to repent, so she could only bite the bullet and go on.She held back a lot of breath in her heart, and with a sullen face, she looked at him several times before she could speak, and finally couldn't help muttering: "You... are actually quite sinister." "Huh?" Zhuo Lincheng, who was thinking about something, didn't pay attention to what she said, and raised his eyebrows to look at her. Sun Wan suddenly softened, and said hesitantly: "I mean, I should have known that I should go buy some fruit... or something." Zhuo Lincheng parked the car, put one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the backrest behind her, and slowly approached her, "Buy fruit and recognize the door? Are you in a hurry? I'm worried that my parents haven't prepared for Double Happiness yet." Prepare." Sun Wan leaned back and said angrily: "Your jokes are not funny at all. You can taunt me vigorously. When you marry Yaya, don't let me pay more for opening the house. let go." "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that day." Zhuo Lincheng chuckled, "By the way, I'll give you another piece of advice—be kind to the person who pays you." Sun Wan could only choose to remain silent. After Zhuo Lincheng got out of the car, he selected two bottles of red wine from the trunk, walked around to Sun Wan and opened the door, "Take this, as if you bought it." Sun Wan nodded, took the things and got out of the car, her uneasy heart finally settled down. Contrary to what Sun Wan imagined, Zhuo Lincheng's parents are extremely amiable people.Although Zhuo's father is tall and majestic, his uprightness makes people respectable rather than daunting.Zhuo's mother is kind-hearted, elegant and gentle, she speaks Wu Nong's soft language, and her conversation is calm, without any vulgarity.As for Zhuo Lincheng's eldest brother, Zhuo Yuanzheng, he is even more humorous, cheerful and forthright. In just one meal, Sun Wan developed a strong affection for Zhuo Lincheng's family, and gradually let go of the restrained silence she held at first, and naturally chatted and laughed with them. Zhuo's mother seemed to have a good relationship with Sun Wan, and after dinner, she kept pulling Sun Wan and Zhuo Yuanzheng's girlfriend to make daily routines.Zhuo Yuanzheng's girlfriend is slender and introverted. Apart from answering Zhuo's mother's questions, she mostly keeps her mouth shut.Zhuo's mother knew that she was nervous, so she brought the topic to Sun Wan in a considerate manner. After learning that Sun Wan was studying in University A and was Zhuo Lincheng's junior, Zhuo's mother nodded with satisfaction, and then asked some questions about her family.Unexpectedly, when Sun Wan talked about her father Sun Dacheng, Zhuo's mother asked in surprise: "You said your father wrote novels when he was young, is he the same Sun Dacheng who wrote "White Feather"?" After waiting for Sun Wan's affirmative reply, she was actually a little excited, "Oh, I loved literature when I was young. I read many of your father's novels, and I still remember them vividly! It's a pity that your father passed away at such a young age." .” After finishing speaking, she looked up and down Sun Wan with emotion, "As expected of a child from a scholarly family, she is dignified and dignified, and she looks delicate." Sun Wan smiled awkwardly—why does this scene look more and more like meeting parents? Taking advantage of Zhuo's mother not paying attention, she cast a look for help to Zhuo Lincheng who was not far away, Zhuo Lincheng looked at her with a smile on her face, without any intention of being a hero to save the beauty, on the contrary, she had a happy expression . So, Sun Wan changed the content of her gaze into three words: You are cruel. The winter vacation came very early that year, and because Sun Wan had to help take care of Xiao's mother, it was very uneasy.Fortunately, Li Meijing had just evolved into Mayou that year, so she had no time to take care of Sun Wan, which made Sun Wan heave a sigh of relief. That evening, Sun Wan sent the stewed ginkgo duck soup to the hospital.She had just walked downstairs in the inpatient department, but she didn't want to see Xiao Xun talking with a young man standing under a magnolia tree. From a distance, they seemed to be arguing about something, Xiao Xun's expression was a little angry and excited. Sun Wan hesitated for a while, and was about to step forward, but saw the man grab Xiao Xun's shoulder and say something quickly.Xiao Xun swung him away heavily, walked past him, and within a few steps, he found Sun Wan on the opposite side. He seemed to have been slammed into his acupoints, and suddenly stood still, with a strange embarrassment in his expression. Sun Wan seemed to be infected by his embarrassment, and also froze in place, having no reason to advance or retreat for a while. Since they quarreled over money last time, both of them have calmed down.After introspecting each other in private, Sun Wan learned not to make her own decisions. Now, even if she prepares a porridge or a vegetable, she must first seek Xiao Xun's opinion; But when I came here, I would occasionally call and ask Sun Wan to take care of me. The two maintained the superficial peace, and joined hands to move forward in this seemingly indestructible, but actually torn relationship, walking on thin ice. When Sun Wan was thinking wildly, Xiao Xun had already put away the remaining anger and those embarrassing emotions.He stepped forward quickly, took the heat preservation box from Sun Wan's hand, and gently hugged her, "Is it cold?" Sun Wan lay in his arms, watching the man behind him walking slowly towards them. It wasn't until the man approached that Sun Wan could clearly see that the young man had menacing eyes and a clean face that was not handsome, but definitely radiant. Inexplicably, Sun Wan didn't like this man, didn't like his penetrating eyes, and didn't like his haughty expression that looked down on everything. "Xiao Xun, this is your little girlfriend? She's so cute." The man walked up to them and looked at Sun Wan with a smile on his face.Sun Wan was chilled by his laughter, and hurriedly asked, "This is it." Xiao Xun said lightly: "This is my brother Zhao Yiting." Out of politeness, Sun Wan nodded towards Zhao Yiting, "Hello, senior brother, my name is Sun Wan." Zhao Yiting didn't look at her, but patted Xiao Xun's shoulder, "You should think about what I just said before answering me. You are the junior I admire the most, and I don't want to see you wasting your talent on the bank counter. " As he said that, he bent down, stared deeply at Sun Wan, and said like teasing a child: "Little sister, I won't bother you any more." After speaking, he walked towards the exit of the inpatient department without looking back. Sun Wan looked at his back, "What did your senior brother ask you to think about?" Xiao Xun held her hand tightly, "It's nothing. Let's go up first." Sun Wan and Xiao Xun took care of Mother Xiao after dinner, and walked with her in the corridor for half an hour. They left the hospital after she fell asleep peacefully. While waiting for the bus, the bus that Sun Wan wanted to take did not arrive for a long time.Sun Wanrao, who only wore a coat and a sweater skirt, curled up in Xiao Xun's arms, still shivering from the cold.Xiao Xun touched her shoulder and said, "You wear so little? There is a shopping mall in front of you. Let me buy you some clothes." Sun Wan was not willing to ask for it, and said with a red nose, "No need to buy, I have too many clothes to wear. Besides, the car is coming soon." Xiao Xun stroked her shoulder lightly, "How could the one I gave you be the same as your own?" "But..." Sun Wan hesitated to speak. "Don't worry, I did a job for Zhao Yiting a while ago, and he settled my salary today, which is quite generous." Xiao Xun stroked Sun Wan's face with his thumb, and looked at her with complicated eyes. Sun Wan didn't refuse anymore, and followed him obediently, walking to the nearby shopping mall. At the end of the year, shopping malls were doing sales promotions, but the sales promotion strategy was the most uneconomical coupon system. Sun Wan calculated that even if she just bought an ordinary sweater, it would cost hundreds of dollars, let alone a coat. ,down jacket. After walking around the mall, Sun Wan either thought the style was old-fashioned or the color was not good-looking. Occasionally, when she came across clothes that suited her particularly well, she felt that the size was not good enough.In just one hour, she played the role of a picky customer. In the final analysis, she just thought the clothes were expensive. After visiting all the women's clothing stores, Sun Wan looked at Xiao Xun with some embarrassment, "Just now I saw a row of foreign trade shops nearby, why don't we go there to shop." Xiao Xun naturally gladly accompanied him. Sun Wan visited more than a dozen foreign trade shops from beginning to end, and finally locked her eyes on a very cost-effective daily black woolen coat. Wearing that coat on Sun Wan, it not only fit her curves perfectly, but also And outline her tall and slender figure with outstanding temperament.Sun Wan turned around in front of the mirror a few times, reluctantly took it off, and began to use her bargaining skills to start a bargain with the boss. The female boss saw that she wanted this dress on purpose and that she was bringing her boyfriend with her, so she bit the price to death and refused to let go of it. Xiao Xun was ready to settle the bill several times, but was held back by Sun Wan. Judging from her experience in the wholesale market all year round, this dress cost at least one hundred yuan more. How much nutritious food can one hundred yuan buy for my aunt?After such a conversion, she decided to grind down the price. She turned the dress over and over until she found a mended hole in the lining.Seeing that she discovered the hole, the shop owner offered to drop 20 yuan. At this time, Xiao Xun stepped forward and patted Sun Wan, "Wan Wan, forget it. We don't want this one anymore." Sun Wan's eyes were still on the clothes, "It's okay, it's just a flaw in the lining." While talking, she suddenly found that a button was missing from the collar of the coat, put down the clothes, and said a little depressed: "Boss, there is a button missing here." Seeing that two problems were found in a row, the boss looked a little anxious, as if he was afraid that the business he got would fly away, so he quickly said: "The clothes are destined for someone, since you are so suitable for this clothes, I will keep a repeat customer and call you Let’s get a 6.50% discount. This is the lowest price, nothing less.” Sun Wan nodded happily, and said to the boss with a smile like a flower: "Thank you, boss, help me wrap it up." After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Xun, only to see that Xiao Xun had retreated to the door of the store at some point.He frowned deeply, his eyes were red, and he looked at her Xuanran. Sun Wan was in a daze, not knowing why Xiao Xun looked at her with that look, because she read from it—farewell. Soon, Sun Wan knew what Zhao Yiting asked Xiao Xun to think about. In just a few days, Xiao Xun unilaterally ended his bank internship and joined a securities company as a securities analyst. Although Sun Wan didn't like Zhao Yiting, who was eccentric, but she was really happy that Xiao Xun could find a suitable platform.She firmly believes that her Xiao Xun will definitely grow from an analyst to an excellent trader, and finally have a great future of her own. Sun Wan asked excitedly on the phone, but Xiao Xun's attitude was always calm, as if he was not particularly optimistic about the prospect of this job. Sun Wan didn't notice that he was depressed, but thought that he was too tired and was eager to find a western restaurant to celebrate.Before hanging up the phone, Sun Wan asked the name of the company as if thinking of something, and when Xiao Xun replied "Wanhua", Sun Wan was taken aback——Wanhua from Zhuo Lincheng...is too coincidental! She hung up the phone with mixed feelings, and sat at the desk in a daze. A few days ago, Li Ya just happily told her that Zhuo Lincheng had started filming her first film. Although she was only the second female lead, her role was eye-catching, enough to instantly kill the heroine who was used to support the box office. Zhuo Lincheng... She recited the name lightly in her heart. Since he appeared, she and the people around her have all received his help directly or indirectly.For the first time, she began to believe in the saying of "hit the noble man". At the end of the month, Sun Wan went to Wanhua to make a supplementary visit to Zhuo Lincheng for the last time as scheduled. At three o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as Sun Wan arrived at Wanhua's building, she saw Holly waiting in the lobby early.Seeing Sun Wan, Holly hurriedly took her to the elevator, and explained that Zhuo Lincheng had just received a meeting notice and had to postpone their interview. After Holly apologized to Sun Wan on behalf of Zhuo Lincheng, she took her to the reception room on the 53rd floor. As if afraid that she would be bored, Holly graciously brought her coffee, snacks, and magazines, and then made a gesture to sit down and chat with her.Sun Wan knew that Holly was Zhuo Lincheng's most capable assistant. At this moment, she was left here by Zhuo Lincheng to greet her, and she was really overqualified. Sun Wan hurriedly let Holly deal with her work in a timely manner, and admitted that she definitely has the ability to enjoy herself. After Holly left, Sun Wan turned down the volume of the TV and quietly nestled on the sofa to read a magazine. By the time she finished flipping through several large magazines calmly, the sky outside the window had gradually dimmed.Sun Wan looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, so she couldn't help feeling a little restless. She refilled her cup of coffee, got up and went to the window to look out.Standing at such a high place and looking down, the roads are as narrow as alleys, and the densely packed buildings squeeze the city very tightly and deeply. Her eyes were in a trance during this long staring, and her heart drifted to the depths of the darkening sky.Gradually, there were no tall buildings or roads in front of her eyes, and the world under her eyes turned into deep rift valleys, where gray-white rivers flowed. As time went by, the gray and white river gradually lit up dotted with lights.These interesting imaginations made Sun Wan feel relaxed, and the corners of her mouth slowly evoked a little smile. "I'm in a daze again." With the sound of closing the door, Sun Wan heard Zhuo Lincheng's voice. After waiting for too long, Sun Wan no longer had any surprises. She tilted her head slightly, lazily maintaining a posture standing by the window. Zhuo Lincheng loosened his tie, stood behind her, and asked softly: "I'm in a bad mood." Sun Wan looked back at him, and was about to smile, but was interrupted, "Forget it, don't force yourself to smile." "I often see you leaning against the window in a daze, what are you thinking about?" "When did you see me in a daze again?" "Too many times. For example, that time in Houhai, you were alone looking at the lotus outside, and you didn't even notice that I walked behind you. I'm curious, what are you thinking every time." "Most of the time, I just think about it randomly. Then I will be very disappointed. For example, after looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside for a long time, I will feel lost and think that in such a big city, none of the lights belong to me. There are so many people who walk among them, and none of them belong to me." Zhuo Lincheng let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that you are really in a bad mood." Seeing that Sun Wan still had a sleepy expression, he added half-truthfully, "If you're really worried about it, from now on, I'll have someone turn on the light in this room for you every night. on." Sun Wan's heart trembled slightly, but she tried her best to pretend nothing had happened and said, "Let's hurry up and ask the remaining questions." Zhuo Lincheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Why don't we have a meal together first." Sun Wan looked at him warily. He looked down at her, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Don't worry, this time it's really just a work meal." Sun Wan saw that his attitude was firm, and she really didn't want to change the appointment with this busy man, so she reluctantly agreed. As soon as Zhuo Lincheng's car drove from the garage to the road, it was blocked directly opposite Wanhua Company by the evening rush hour. Zhuo Lincheng turned on the car stereo, and a lyrical blues sounded inside the car, which immediately covered up the vague noise coming from outside.Just after a meeting, he seemed a little tired, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa, his right index finger gently tapping the steering wheel with the beat of the music. Sun Wan, who was depressed, was almost not hypnotized by the boring knocking sound, but she was afraid of losing her appearance in front of him, so she hurriedly looked at the building across the road. It was time to get off work, and there were people coming and going in and out of the building. Sun Wan stared at the revolving door in a daze, thinking to herself, did Xiao Xun get off work?Does he know that she is downstairs with him now? Sun Wan was thinking about Xiao Xun, and the next moment, that person turned out from behind the revolving door.Sun Wan immediately sat up straight, looking at Xiao Xun who was dressed in formal attire with burning eyes, if she hadn't got a job at the moment, she wished she could open the car door and run to him. Zhuo Lincheng noticed her strangeness, followed her gaze towards the building, saw Xiao Xun, and asked uncertainly: "You know him." Sun Wan bit her lower lip, "He... is my boyfriend, working in your company now." Zhuo Lincheng let out a surprise, and looked thoughtfully at Xiao Xun who was standing on the steps with his head bowed, "I know him, he was recommended by Zhao Yiting, the executive director of our company. Because it was an exceptional employment, I personally interviewed him he." Sun Wan looked at him eagerly, wishing he could say more about Xiao Xun. Zhuo Lincheng seemed to have read her thoughts, pursed his lips, and cherished his words like gold. Sun Wan couldn't help asking, "What do you think of him?" "good." "Ah...it's just not bad." Sun Wan's tone became even more disappointed. Zhuo Lincheng gave her a sideways glance, "Zhao Yiting seems to think highly of him. As soon as he came in, Zhao Yiting took out the money himself and asked him to make a position for me. It seems that Zhao Yiting wants to train him to be a trader as soon as possible." Seeing that Sun Wan was still looking at him expectantly, Zhuo Lincheng pondered for a moment and said: "Your boyfriend has good vision and brains, but you are too big-hearted and eager for quick success, you..." It seemed that he couldn't find anything to say for a while, but he didn't say what he said after all. Sun Wan's ears could only hear good things about Xiao Xun, as for his last hesitating words, she pretended not to hear them.She looked at Xiao Xun and murmured: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhao to be so nice..." Zhuo Lincheng's words changed Sun Wan's attitude toward Zhao Yiting, who had a gloomy face. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a black Audi stopped in front of Xiao Xun. Xiao Xun, who was in a trance, raised his eyes and saw the car, opened the co-pilot's door expressionlessly and got in. Zhuo Lincheng frowned and looked at the Audi that was running in the opposite direction of them, then looked at Sun Wan with complicated eyes, and shook his head slightly imperceptibly. Sun Wan was wondering whose car Xiao Xun got into, happened to catch a glimpse of Zhuo Lincheng's little action from the window glass, and turned her head to look at him puzzled. He looked at the road ahead and said lightly, "It's been blocked for too long." Five days before the Spring Festival, Sun Wan finally finished Zhuo Lincheng's big manuscript in one evening.Sun Wan read through the finished manuscript several times and was extremely satisfied. For more than a month, all her energy and emotion have been devoted to understanding and trying to figure out Zhuo Lincheng. Like a sculptor, she meticulously carves and portrays Zhuo Lincheng in her mind, unknowingly beautifying him into a件完美的艺术作品。 读完文章后，她不知是因为自己的刻画还是因为卓临城本身的优秀而陶醉，一种难以抑制的热情在她四肢百骸里奔腾，特别想找个人分享她这一刻的成就感。她拿出手机，将卓临城的名字从通讯录里调出来，仰躺在沙发上翻来覆去地犹豫，终于忍不住发了条短信给他：你的传记大功告成了，我这会儿特想让你马上看到它。 孙菀并没有指望卓临城会很快看到这条短信，她在沙发上自得地伸了个小小的懒腰，起身趿着拖鞋去厨房给自己煮面条。她刚将锅里注满水，客厅沙发上的手机就响了起来。 孙菀返身回客厅抓起手机一看，一颗心因“卓临城”三个字狂跳起来。她稳了稳呼吸，接通电话。 卓临城的声音很低，却很温柔，“孙菀，现在在做什么。” 孙菀心慌意乱地瞟了眼厨房，“我正打算煮面条吃。” “不要老吃那个。来万乘，带上你的稿子，我们庆祝一下。” 孙菀犹豫了一下，“会不会耽误你的事情。” 他的声音柔和低沉，却有一种强大的召唤力，“不会，过来吧，我等你。” 孙菀的思想先躯壳一步被他攫去了电话里，她看了眼外面的天色，“好，我很快就到。” 挂完电话，她匆匆将稿子打印装订好，飞快地换好外套，抓起包就往外跑。谁知刚一出门，她就在楼梯口撞见了黎美静。 黎美静嚯了一声，“着魔了还是撞鬼了？这么风风火火的要去哪里？不做晚饭了。” 孙菀头也没回，脚步铿锵有力地往楼下跑去。 见到卓临城时，已经晚上七点半。卓临城见她满身风雪，不禁抬手抚了抚她脸颊边的长发，问道：“饿了吗。” 孙菀将打印好的稿子从包里翻出，递到他面前，“你看看有没有什么不满意的地方，我抓紧回去改改。” 卓临城含笑看着急性子的孙菀，“不急，我们可以边吃东西边慢慢看。” 孙菀还想“可是”一下，却见一位侍应生温驯地上前询问：“卓总，请问现在可以上菜了吗。” 得到卓临城首肯后，他出门交代了几句，紧接着，一队侍者将头盘端了上来，并为孙菀和卓临城斟好酒水。 孙菀估摸着卓临城也还没吃晚饭，不好打搅他吃饭，只得将稿子的事情往后延了下，心不在焉地吃着那块熏鲑鱼。 她这时才发现，偌大的一座灯火辉煌的餐厅里，只坐着她和卓临城两个人，场面微妙得像是在拍电影。好在络绎而来的侍者上完头盘又上汤，接下来还有副菜、主菜、甜品，打消了孙菀独自面对卓临城的不适应。 两人浅尝辄止地将饭菜吃完，卓临城终于发话问孙菀要了稿子，凝神细看起来。 等待的过程中，孙菀紧张地盯着他表情的变化，生怕他忽然拧了眉，指出什么不满来。然而卓临城的表情始终波澜不惊，平静得好像顶着张完美无俦的假面。 孙菀只得收回眼神，不停喝着手里的苏打水。 约莫过了十几分钟，卓临城慢条斯理地合上稿纸，“是我想要的东西。很好、很真实，我差点以为你已经认识我二十年了。” 孙菀如释重负地展颜一笑，连眼窝里都染上了轻松和喜悦。 卓临城目光灼灼地望着她莹白的如花笑靥，“书里说的'倾盖如故'，无外乎也就是这样了。” 孙菀笑着反驳，“你这样说也太一厢情愿了，我是花了很大心思才这么了解你的，可是你花过同样的心思来了解我吗？你都不知道我是什么样的人，我俩怎么算得上是'倾盖如故'？” “你怎么知道我没有花过心思来了解你。” 孙菀忍不住挑衅，“那你说说，在你眼里，我是怎样的。” 他望着她的双眼，几乎没有片刻犹疑，轻声说：“在我眼里，你又小又傻又可怜。” 闻言，孙菀气得眼圈都红了。她那么坚强、粗糙、精明地活着，居然换来他这样一句评价。可是她竟连反驳他一句也不能，唯一言不发地怔怔坐着，好像被人冷不丁地用水泼去了脸上的脂粉，露出了不愿为人所见的本来面目。 孙菀不明白自己为什么要为他这句话生气，更加不明白自己的心为什么又会因这句话紧缩而疼痛。他的话，像是一柄骤然刺进她冷硬心里的匕首，多年未有的委屈感从那个缺口处破土而出，胀在她的胸口、鼻根、眼角，良久，一点眼泪不自禁地从她的眼角滚落了下来。 见状，卓临城飞快伸手，大力用拇指将她脸上的眼泪抹掉，还没等孙菀做出反应，他已经若无其事地收回了手，“真经不起逗。我刚才是胡说的，我觉得你独立自尊、坚强善良，是个濒危动物。” 孙菀哽咽了一下，没有说话，朝他投去一个“这还差不多”的眼神。 卓临城再度失笑，放下稿纸，走到她身边，“为了报答你，我打算带你去个好玩的地方。” “什么地方。” “放心，绝对不会是我家。” 孙菀预感那不会是个好地方，但还是拗不过自己的好奇心。她觉得自己被卓临城看穿了，他比她更加清楚自己有一颗热爱冒险、憧憬未知的心。 孙菀没有预感错，卓临城带她去的果然不是什么好地方。 孙菀望而却步地站在一家酒吧门外，“干吗带我来泡吧。” “我大学时最喜欢的一支瑞典乐队来这里演出，仅此一场，我不想错过。我猜你应该也感兴趣，顺道带你来看看。”卓临城脱去大衣，露出里面的黑衬衫。熨帖的黑色衬衫，衬得他的身材秀颀饱满，透出浓浓的成熟男人的味道。孙菀看着这样的他，忽然又有些陌生，一时有点怔忪。 “走吧，演出快开始了。” 孙菀犹自愣怔，不知道自己从什么时候开始居然和他走得这么近了：跟他一起吃饭、去他父母家、主动给他打电话、跟他一起泡吧，熟稔得真像是多年的老友。她无措地想，他们的关系不该是这样亲密的，她是不是越界了？ “卓临城，我有点认生了。”孙菀低下头，茫然地说，“我怎么忽然之间就和你这么熟了。” 卓临城笑了，微微上翘的下巴露出好看的弧度，“孙菀，人和人的感情本来就是忽然之间的事。” 孙菀抿唇想了一下，觉得有道理，轻轻点了点头。 卓临城见她仍心有顾忌，正色补了一句说：“一会儿你叫厉娅带几个朋友过来。” 听他这样说，孙菀遂放下心来，跟他往酒吧里走去。
