Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Before this, there were no flowers and no playful greeting cards. "Miss Jiao, our shop will open tomorrow." "That's great, I'll join you." He smiled, "You can come and visit the shop tonight." Rilang was very interested, "Can you come after get off work?" "I'm waiting for you." He probably planned to greet a few familiar friends first. Of course Jiao Rilang is not in the mood when he is off work. The people who do things must feel the pressure. He deals with official business from morning to night, exhausted, and Rilang regrets in the small mirror.

To accept her, one has to accept her haggardness. She pulled up her coat and went to Libra Bookstore. Unexpectedly, the store door was half closed, and she was the only customer. The books have been lined up, the corners are full of flower baskets sent by friends, and the nose still smells of newly renovated paint. "What kind of tea do you drink?" "Leighton." Sun Minru smiled and said, "I mean Chinese tea." Rilang spread his hands, "I have no knowledge, I have no accomplishments, I am running around for a living, I am mediocre, I don't care about honor or disgrace, I just want to have a night and two meals."

"Are you afraid of playing with things and losing your mind?" "What do I have to play with? What ambition do I have to lose?" Ri Lang smiled. "Well, the tone is a bit indignant." "Really? I thought I'd completely calmed down. Did it burn your ears?" "Come, have a cup of cool Longjing tea and turn off the fire." Ri Lang raised his eyes to browse, and suddenly understood, "This is your own study, right?" Sun Minru did not deny it. "I'm afraid of being lonely, so I moved it to the downtown area to have fun with everyone?"

He defaults. Well, he has quite a fortune. Sun Minru said softly: "My mother passed away this fall, only one week before her sixty-eighth birthday." Rilang said "Hey". "She always wanted to open a bookstore." Ri Lang nodded, very few people can achieve their wishes smoothly. "However, she has to assist my father in the securities business all her life." Rilang feels sorry for it, and it is extremely difficult to link the stock with the book. She suddenly raised her head, hey, Sun Minru is different from Lao Zhuang and Chen Xi, he was born in this city, he has a father and a mother and there are records to check.

"Where were you born?" "Mary's Hospital in this city." He is really earthling. Ri Lang asked again: "Do you know cooking?" Sun Minru wiped her nose and said with a smile, "Do I know cooking? Hey, do you know how to eat?" "how you said that?" "I have a Le Cordon Bleu qualification." "No!" Ri Lang fell over with joy. "When will you test me?" "Weekends, weekends are more free." Ri Lang didn't believe in his luck. "A lot of delicious side dishes can be served in ten to twenty minutes. It doesn't take time. Don't believe the pretentious ones."

Rilang is gearing up, eager to taste it immediately. But after all, she knows what is the most important thing in real life, "Tell me, Sun Minru, what is your main job?" He was a little coy. Rilang was amazed, "Please tell me, Sun Minru." He finally confessed: "I'm a stockbroker." "That's your family business, isn't it?" "Yes, it is said that Mrs. Sun is very inspired by the ups and downs of stocks." No wonder you can open a study for consumption. Their eyes met, and Ri Lang suddenly knew, probably it was him, right?The person Lao Zhuang wants to introduce to her is already here, right?

Man is the spirit of all things, and he knows this kind of thing. Rilang smiled slightly. Luckily, she found what she had lost in the past one by one. Looking forward to the future, she has new hope. Compared with her mother, she is a hundred times more proud, and her fate is in her own hands. "Do you want to have dinner with my parents and sister?" Ri Lang spread his hands, "The clothes are all wrinkled, let's try another day." "Then I'll take you back." Sun Minru closed the store door and locked it, and Rilang was waiting for him on the street.

She looked up suddenly and saw the sky full of stars. Rilang now has a good understanding of the starry sky in the northern hemisphere, and only saw the four big stars of Libra blinking at her. They went to the parking lot to pick up their cars. Across the gate, Rilang heard the phone ringing. It's Cen Jieren. "Are you with the same Sun Minru?" Jiao Rilang lowered his face, "Are you sending someone to follow or follow? Cen Jieren, do you know that everyone has the right to privacy?!" "I'm doing it for your own good, those young masters, they don't have any sincerity."

"I have eyes, ears, a mouth, and a nose, and I can tell good from bad." "Really, then why did you misread me?" Unexpectedly, Cen Jieren would laugh at himself. "I was young and ignorant at that time." Cen Jieren sneered. Ri Lang added: "We are still friends, I did not see anything wrong." "They all have more wealth than me." "Who are they?" "Wang Shouwen and Sun Minru are coming one after another." "defamation." "Ri Lang, I'm about to lose you." Rilang said nothing. He went on, "Or, I never got you?"

"Jieren, are you serious?" "Have." "Say it quickly." "Reluctantly." Ri Lang said gently: "This is a little girl who is seventeen or eighteen years old. I'm afraid I won't believe it." Cen Jieren cleared his throat, "Ri Lang, that Sun Minru is a very shrewd and powerful stock talent." "So what?" "He'll have inside information." "Have you been playing stocks recently?" "No, I have a big client who loves the stock market." "Cen Jieren, with your current status, you don't have to curry favor with these people anymore."

Cen Jieren replied: "The client is happy, and I am also happy. Everyone is happy." "What do you want to know?" "No one wants to make a fortune, just want to get some jackpots, which one will win, tell me, put less bets, and play." "You sound like a gambler." "Don't worry, I'm not qualified to gamble." Rilang was very comforted, now, apart from Fan Lixuan, she still had this Cen Jieren to talk about. Ri Lang's heart skipped a beat, "Jie Ren, you are well-informed and well-informed all over the world. Do you know what Fan Lixuan is doing recently? This person neglects to ask, what plan is he planning?" "You don't know about Fan Lixuan?" Cen Jieren took the opportunity to make a fuss. "Hey, tell me quickly." "She found a partner, didn't she disclose it to you? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the other party is a Chinese-English mixed race, a handsome talent, you haven't seen it? It's a pity." Rilang was not at all provoked by Cen Jieren, she kept her mouth wide open and couldn't close her smile, it was really good news that Fan Lixuan returned to the social stage to play an important role, very good. When the time is right, she will definitely contact her friends and announce the matter. At this stage, it is inconvenient to rush her. Ri Langyan said regretfully: "Really, how can I be reconciled to abandoning my old sister for decades? Hey, we have talked for so long. After sixteen years old, I seldom talk on the phone. , can you resign?" "that matter--" "I will definitely help if I have the chance." "Look," Cen Jieren said bitterly, "girls can do it." "Then there is a way to serve you, Mr. Cen Jieren, don't you have a better way?" Rilang often didn't have time to read the newspaper of the day until such a time. She reads world events first, then local news, then supplements, and finally entertainment news. She saw the headline "Newcomer Zheng Yongxin plays Huang Rong, and the remake of Shooting the Condor has a target." Ri Lang looked up, of course she knew who Huang Rong was, but who was Zheng Yongxin? The name was so familiar, Rilang lowered his head to look for the photo. Oh, I see, it's her, the heroine in the fight! It was the unruly Zheng Yongxin, who had been separated for three days and looked at her with admiration.She has already acted as the heroine, and she might become a hit. In the future, these unknown ordinary people will talk about the accident that night. In the photo, she is radiant and glamorous, and she is already on the verge of becoming popular, her brows and eyes are all in a gesture of fluttering her wings.It sounds very mysterious, but Zheng Yongxin's confident smile let the audience know that she will not disappoint them. She was wearing a tight skirt, this kind of clothes was found somewhere, and it stuck to her body like a second skin, but Zheng Yongxin's figure was worthy of this kind of clothes. These three to five or seven years of youth are her only capital, if she doesn't make good use of it, she will be in debt to her ancestors. When Zheng Yongxin became more popular, Jiao Rilang might say to people: I met this girl once, and there is another topic after dinner. Ri Lang closed the newspaper and yawned. Ordinary people also dream. Rilang dreamed that he was sitting at a coffee seat, and the waiter came over and said, "Miss Jiao, a gentleman said he knew you." Ri Lang raised his head and said unexpectedly: "Old Zhuang, you haven't left yet?" Lao Zhuang replied with a smile: "I have already returned home, and now you are just dreaming of me." Rilang was annoyed, "What are you doing in my dreams so often?" Unexpectedly, Lao Zhuang blinked, "What does it matter to me, you ask yourself, think about it every day, and dream at night." "Yes, Lao Zhuang, I do miss you." "So you dream about me at night." He grinned. Rilang looked at him, feeling something strange, "No, Lao Zhuang, it was you who took advantage of the silence of the night to control my subconscious mind." Lao Zhuang sighed, "Ri Lang, how tired you are of thinking like this." Rilang knew she guessed right again. Lao Zhuang's Taoism is several levels higher than Chen Xi's. In other words, Lao Zhuang's instruments are very exquisite. "Old Zhuang, tell me, is that man him?" Lao Zhuang smiled, "Who is that him?" Ri Lang was annoyed, "You know exactly who I'm talking about." "It's only been three days since I left the earth, and I can't understand your riddles anymore." "Have I found him already?" "What do you say?" Ri Lang cleared his throat, "I feel like I can't be any more." "As long as you are satisfied." "is it him?" "What do you say?" "Old Zhuang, fuck you!" In my dreams, I want to throw things at him. But like all good dreams, this one came to an abrupt end. Rilang woke up, feeling a little melancholy. What's more unfortunate is that it's not yet dawn, and it may not be possible to sleep again when the sun is bright for a while. Next time, the next time she dreams of Lao Zhuang again, she will ask to meet Chen Xi. She can guess that the guy from Lao Zhuang will playfully joke: "How can the sunset see the morning sun?" Then he refused. In the dead of night, Rilang went to the terrace to take a look at the scenery. Most of the dozens of units in the opposite building had turned off the lights, but there were also some people who could not sleep at night, and through the bright yellow windows, the movement inside could be seen clearly. Oh, a mother is still feeding her child, a gentleman finally gets up and turns off the TV, that little girl holds on to the phone and keeps talking, and the appearance of all beings in the back window is a feature of this dense city. They didn't draw the curtains, neither did Rilang, what's the matter?Because there is a distance, and it is another street, it's just that chickens and dogs hear each other, and they never communicate with each other. Rilang murmured to himself: "Life is halfway through, and it's time to write half-life fate, but how should I say it, I still do it day by day, and I don't have any plans for what I encounter, okay? Awkward." Like Cen Jieren, how lucky, Rilang guessed that he knew what to do when he was born, and he has been able to direct well in kindergarten and work hard to make money. Also like Huo Yongjin, she only needs to follow the book, and her parents have already arranged everything for her, dowry, career, and future. If she is a little uneasy, she can go back to her natal family to complain. There is also the coquettish girl Zheng Yongxin, who is beckoned by a legendary fate, destined to be the limelight, dressed in all kinds of fancy clothes, and attracting everyone's attention. But Jiao Rilang's life is dull, boring to death, with limited choices and little change. But it was her insomnia. However, Rilang is also glad that the house is finally quiet. When I was young, my parents quarreled and it was out of control. My mother always told my father to go away. The father grabbed the daughter with one hand and held her under his arm. As a threat, he pushed his wife away with one hand. Rilang will never forget this scene. It's hard to imagine how degenerate a person would be before confronting his closest relatives, women and children. How can I do it, how can I be worthy of myself. Rilang probably didn't get this inheritance, she loved herself to the extreme, and when she was most discouraged, she still took a deep breath and bent her waist upwards, never giving up.For three whole years, without sheltering from the wind, rain, and severe cold, I walked back and forth between the university and the dormitory to study hard, and just fell down like this. How could I be worthy of my own footsteps. Also, the accumulated stacks of notes copied in petty lowercase letters, her classmates on vacation, and her loneliness in the dormitory alone... How can she lose her composure, how can she care about people who don't belong to her. No matter who is trying to force her, she will never reveal her original shape. she fell asleep. The next morning she was in charge of interviewing. Jiao Rilang had done his homework and read the resumes of all the young people. She hoped the same would be true for this group of young people looking for work. Then, among all the evil habits of human beings, Jiao Rilang hates being late the most. Whoever is late for a job meeting is too bad and will be killed without mercy and kicked out of the game. They are a group of women with some success in work, no matter what their appearance and posture are, their hearts are always strong, and their ears are always equally hard.Jiao Rilang rarely raises her voice, never puts on airs, and never argues with her colleagues, but this does not mean that she is more timid than anyone else. There were three in a row, all of whom were not outstanding talents. Rilang was drowsy, muttering in his heart: I came here to look for a job with my shoes and socks on, alas. Then the fourth person knocked on the door and came in, Ri Lang's eyes lit up. This girl has thick eyebrows and big eyes, bright eyes, and black hair. Hey, no matter if she is a fool or not, my impression is already 90%. Ri Lang immediately became cheerful. Even she likes beautiful women, not to mention her boss. Then, Rilang knew the reason why she was attracted, this girl was somewhat similar to Chenxi. Everyone misses Dawn. It is not easy for them Libras to be truly successful and memorable. Rilang looked at the interviewer's resume: "Well, your name is Ruiyun?" "Yes," the girl laughed, "the most beautiful natural phenomenon on earth, so my godfather named it after it." Ri Lang froze, she didn't move. This tone is so similar to Zhan Xi. After a long while, Ri Lang said softly, "Have you graduated from university with us?" The girl named Ruiyun answered briskly, "Yes, Miss Wanxia." Heh, it was as expected by Rilang. Rilang's eyes were suddenly moist, and he couldn't help being excited, "How is Chenxi?" The girl smiled, "Thank you, she is fine, she asked me to tell you that she has graduated with first class honors and also found a job." Ri Lang couldn't wait to ask: "Has she found a boyfriend yet?" "Several boys have a good impression of her. She has received a message from you about Wang Jun. She said that one day in the future, she will always forget him." Ri Lang was completely relieved. "How are you?" "Since breaking up with Chen Xi, many things have happened, I don't know where to start." Ri Lang was filled with emotion. "It doesn't matter, speak slowly." "Yes, as a colleague, there are plenty of opportunities to chat." Ruiyun was a little surprised, "I was admitted?" "Aren't you here to apply?" Rilang stretched out his hand to hold Ruiyun tightly. "You've been on Earth for so long, don't you miss your family?" When Ruiyun heard this, he immediately lowered his head. "What are your reasons?" Ri Lang was surprised. Ah, she understands, there will never be a second thing to hurt this handsome Libra girl. Ri Lang smiled, "You fell in love with a person from Earth." "Yes." Ruiyun said bluntly. "Is he nice to you?" "I don't know how to say it yet." Ri Lang asked, "Is it worth leaving home for him?" Rui Yun could only smile wryly. Ri Lang patted her on the shoulder, "This matter cannot be rushed, it needs to be resolved slowly." "Yes, I am willing to ask Sister Wanxia for advice." Ri Lang laughed, her love life was a blank paper, how can she teach others? "Come on, I'll take you to the HR department." "Sister Wanxia, ​​I'm looking for a place to live." Rilang called the secretary to come in, gave some orders, and asked Ruiyun to follow her. It's great that she has a relationship with Libra. The secretary turned around and said, "The new colleague has already captivated everyone." Ri Lang smiled, "Are they boys or girls?" "All men, women and children are included." "He has a cute personality." "She has a charm that makes people want to get close to her naturally. Such a person is most suitable for participating in the acting career." "Maybe, she doesn't want to go on and off the stage." "Hey, everyone has his own aspirations." At noon, Ruiyun came to report: "I go to work on Monday." "Which group are you with?" "Xin Xianrong." "He's a good boss and you'll have a chance to learn, but he has soft ears and a soft ear for gossip." Ruiyun laughed in surprise, "Miss Wanxia, ​​you are so frank." Rilang also laughed, "I don't think going around in circles will bring me anything. It's better to be honest. This moment has become Jiao Rilang's symbol, and I can't change it." "Chen Xi is right, there are many good people on Earth." "However," Ri Lang sighed, "you have to be careful of bad guys." "The bad guy," Ruiyun asked cautiously, "is it the one who made us sad?" Ri Lang thought about it, "That's not necessarily true." "Then, what are they?" "They are people who intentionally hurt other people." "However, some people are naturally sensitive and vulnerable, and are very vulnerable." "Ruiyun, I believe that on this kind of matter, the Tuhui will have its own opinion." Rui Yun laughed immediately, "Let's not talk about such a terrible topic." "Did Chenxi tell you to come to me?" Rui Yun nodded, "Chen Xi said you treated her very well." "No, she really knows how to be grateful." Rilang lamented that when she was a teenager, she admired a senior sister, cared for her and respected her, and devoted her time and energy to helping her with materials and homework.The senior sister responded indifferently, Ri Lang only thought that he was not doing well enough, introduced friends to the senior sister, and lent the most precious reference books to the senior sister, but the senior sister graduated, and there was no one on the phone, so he went to the door and was rejected. "How did she turn out?" Ri Lang answered smoothly: "You have succeeded in fishing for fame, but your life is very miserable." Then startled, "How do you know what I'm thinking?" Rui Yun smiled, "I can guess from your expression." "You don't have mind reading skills, do you?" "Where is such a skill?" Rilang calmed down, and ended her overly enthusiastic one-sided friendship with two sentences: "A person whose scheming is higher than talent will never succeed." Later, the senior sister still used students who were younger than Rilang to run around for her, but Rilang thought that those people were far inferior to her in talent, and the senior sister might not be satisfied. Rilang was not that kind to Fan Lixuan. Ruiyun said, "I'll go back and prepare, so I'll take my leave first." "Come to me if you need anything." "Thank you, Miss Wanxia." If the fake is real, this stage name will probably follow her for a long time. In the afternoon, Rilang went to the corner of the street to watch the opening of Libra Bookstore. She stood farther away, but the flower cards were arranged farther than her, and Rilang was startled by the pomp. It's no wonder that Sun Minru can open a bookstore, and the real capital is so rich that he can afford it. Most of the flower cards were sent by the bank, and Rilang suddenly saw the names of Wang Shouwen and Huo Yongjin. Heh, this city is abnormally small, and it is easy for people to squeeze together. Sun Minru was greeting the guests, using champagne instead of tea. Putting away the elegant side, it can be seen that Sun Minru's communication skills are extraordinary, about ten times better than Cen Jieren. The four words Qi Dafei suddenly flashed through Rilang's mind. Lao Zhuang didn't know if he chose the wrong person. Rilang can still deal with bargaining like Lao Zhuang, but this Sun Minru is simply unpredictable, with multiple identities and personalities, which are elusive. Rilang hopes that she is also an actress with thousands of faces, but she is clumsy with only one head and one heart. Maintaining a distance as a viewer, Rilang saw many details that were usually neglected. She didn't go up to greet Sun Minru. After watching the excitement, she left quietly. Turning around, there was a hand on her shoulder. Ri Lang raised his head, with unexpected joy: "Li Xuan!" But it wasn't Fan Lixuan, "They said you were here." "Just watch the fun." "Why not join the crowd and go to the show?" Ri Lang smiled sadly, "I can't." "Too sober, isn't it?" Rilang nodded. "I can't completely forget myself and devote myself to the role, so I read the lines, empty and hypocritical, and I don't want to deceive myself, so I quietly left the scene." Ri Lang looked at her, "Fan Banxian, you guessed it all." "I'm talking about myself, otherwise it's really not so accurate." Ri Lang was quite concerned, "What's wrong with you?" "Too many scruples, sneaky, both parties are unhappy." "Lixuan! I want you to forget about the past." Fan Lixuan smiled wryly, "No, it's not about that part, it's because I can't let go of my freedom." Ri Lang was startled, "Blow?" "You look just like my mother." "Stop insulting me, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came up from behind, "How about going to our shop?" Rilang blushed unknowingly, and Sun Minru found it after all. I saw him smiling and looking at the two girls. Alas, Rilang thought, if Jiao Rilang was only eighteen years old, why not follow him right away. But at the moment Rilang just calmed down, introduced them, and said, "I have already made an appointment with Lixuan tonight." Sun Minru didn't force it, and politely sent them away. Fan Lixuan said: "Ri Lang, you have a lot of friends." "Don't ignore me, let's talk about your pen first." "There's nothing to talk about. I only blame myself for my lack of ambition, selfishness, and unwillingness to compromise." "The other party is so demanding?" Ri Lang opened his mouth wide. "It's not the other party, and to organize a family, you have to make certain sacrifices." Hiro lowered his head, "I understand too." Lixuan said: "We have worked hard for many years and have successfully created our own small world. We are the sun, and the stars revolve around us, and we illuminate them. We take it for granted and do not want to be appendages." "Can't we sit on an equal footing?" Lixuan laughed, "Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind." Rilang looked at the ceiling, opened his mouth, and closed it again. "Say it." "Or, we don't want to have a family at all." "Or not thinking hard enough." "Let's go for a drink." "Go to the house." "It's a pity that the Libra Tavern is closed." Who says no. Fan Lixuan played blackjack with Rilang, enjoyed it and won hundreds of dollars. Ri Lang became more and more bored, desperately losing, wasting time and procrastinating, just as she had lost interest in dealing with her feelings. Not long after, the phone rang, and not long after, Lixuan's friend came to pick her up. This was the first time Ri Lang saw him, he was handsome, gentle and polite, he was regarded as a master, but Fan Lixuan still hesitated. The more choices, the more trouble. Rilang heaves a sigh of relief after seeing his friend off. Put your legs on the coffee table, feel free, yawn, and stretch. Rilang suddenly heard Lao Zhuang's voice: "Too lazy." Ri Lang took Lao Zhuang's elusiveness for granted, and replied with a smile: "You ignore me!" "When you get old, you have to suffer." Ri Lang didn't care, "It's worth it if it's sweet first and then bitter." "How lonely and desolate." "I'm used to it." Lao Zhuang's laughter continued, "But you are destined to have a daughter." "Let's see." Rilang heard Lao Zhuang sigh. After a while, Ri Lang asked, "That person, isn't Sun Minru?" Lao Zhuang asked back in a business-like tone, "What do you think?" "Fuck you, Lao Zhuang, I will never talk to you again!" Then Rilang helped his mother move.
