After the completion of Jin Mao Tower, although it was still undergoing internal renovation and was not open to the public, due to the existence of the Pearl Tower and the now popular Bund opposite, Lujiazui gradually became prosperous in later generations. The number of foreigners has already occupied a certain proportion.
The first time he came to the revolving restaurant to eat, Yang Dongxu looked around curiously. When he came in for the second time, he basically didn't feel anything novel there. That's how people miss it all the time before they get it, and then suddenly it doesn't feel that novel after they get it.
Compared to Yang Dongxu, who was dressed casually, Bai Qian could be said to be dressed up for the occasion. Her delicate face and proud figure attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared in the restaurant, instantly becoming the focus of the entire restaurant.
Yang Dongxu would not be polite if someone was treating him to a meal. Regardless of whether Bai Qian had ordered a meal or not, he directly took the menu and ordered the most expensive steak and the best red wine. He always felt a little angry if he didn't give Bai Qian a good meal.
For Yang Dongxu, who is sometimes as wise as an old fox and sometimes as naive as a child, Bai Qian feels that the man in front of her seems to have become more lively and interesting, much cuter than the aggressive image in her mind.
The restaurant was obviously not a suitable place for talking, and even Bai Qian didn't expect Yang Dongxu to give her a definite answer today. Inviting the other person to have dinner is just a disguised urging to express your attitude.
"It seems I didn't order any more wine?" Bessie, who was taking photos while gracefully cutting her hair, raised her head and looked at the waiter walking over with another bottle of red wine and said.
"Yes, which gentleman over there gave it to you." The waiter turned sideways and gestured to a table not far away. There was a man in a suit and leather shoes on the table who looked a bit lazy compared to Yang Dongxu, who was dressed in casual clothes. He didn't know how much of a gentleman he was. The man raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to Bai Qian.
"Take it back for me. Thank you for his kindness, but I can't drink this kind of wine. By the way, tell him what kind of wine I ordered." Bai Qian smiled politely at the waiter.
"This..." The waiter's face stiffened.
After working here for so long, he has obviously encountered many times a man giving a woman red wine to express his affection. Although it is not common for a woman to flirt with her like this even though she has a male companion, he has encountered it a few times. But this was the first time I encountered a woman like today who politely refused and even slapped her in the face.
"Is there a problem?" Bai Qian raised her eyebrows.
"No, I'm sorry. I'll go over and tell the gentleman." The waiter apologized quickly and turned to leave.
Whether it’s Bai Qian’s priceless evening dress and jewelry, her temperament, or the man sitting across from her eating without raising her head, just casually ordering more than 80,000 yuan for a bottle of red wine, this is not him Can afford to provoke.
The man who was raising his glass to gesture from a distance didn't change much when he saw the waiter coming back with red wine. It was normal for a man to be rejected when trying to pick up a girl, but after hearing what the waiter told him, his expression felt a little strange.
The look was a bit angry, but he didn't dare to explode. After all, no matter whether the other party is pretending to order a bottle of red wine worth more than 80,000 yuan, just because he dares to order this bottle of wine, someone like him who comes here occasionally to consume it and just gave a bottle of red wine worth more than 500 yuan can be compared to someone like him. of.
After handing over to the waiter, Bai Qian continued to cut the steak in front of her. She glanced at Yang Dongxu with a bit of resentment in her eyes, and then said clearly: "Your female companion was flirted with, and as a man, you didn't say anything?"
Such resentment naturally resulted in Yang Dongxu's ignorance. After looking at him twice more, Bai Qian seemed to feel a little bored. So she put away the expression on her face and turned into the aloof queen again.
When the last piece of food was put into his mouth, Yang Dongxu picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. During this period, I don’t know whether it was because the first person who wanted to eat crabs was slapped in the face, or because Bai Qian calmed down like a queen and made people dare not look directly at her. The whole meal process was very peaceful.
But his calmness made people look at him frequently. Originally, a cynical man in casual clothes and a woman dressed like a queen were a very strange combination. Now the relationship between this group seems a little strange, which makes people even more curious.
But no matter how curious these people were and how they delayed their meal, when Yang Dongxu stood up after dinner and prepared to leave, the scene seemed to have no climax here.
Bai Qian reached out and handed the waiter over to pay. Seeing that it was a woman paying the bill, the other people's eyes on Yang Dongxu changed a little, but naturally he wouldn't care about such a look.
The two of them went downstairs and came to the entrance of the Pearl Tower. Jie Chengwu drove the car over, but Yang Dongxu didn't communicate with Bai Qian the whole time when he got into the car.
Bai Qian had a faint polite smile on her face and didn't ask anything. Standing there and watching Yang Dongxu leave, the process was very dull and ordinary, and it didn't seem to have any excessive meaning.
"Women are trouble." Yang Dongxu, who was sitting in the car, pinched his eyebrows.
Bai Qian was obviously anxious about this matter, but the other party could not bear to ask directly, which once again showed that this beautiful woman was difficult to deal with.
Yang Dongxu obviously couldn't pretend to be an ostrich and deceive himself. If he felt that the other party didn't mention this matter, he would just pretend not to know. If he really does this, it is estimated that Bai Qian will take action soon, and even poke a big hole in the situation he has worked so hard to arrange for several years. This woman definitely dares to do this, and has the ability to do so.
One week was the limit of how long Bai Qian could endure his recovery after Yang Dongxu repeatedly thought about it. After this time, the woman would definitely go crazy.
Just when Yang Dongxu was thinking about how to handle this matter, he was forced by a woman, and he accidentally dug a hole for himself, allowing the other party to take advantage of it. This feeling was very aggrieved, and he definitely didn't want the other party to let it go. When taking advantage.
The mobile phone next to him rang. He took it and said 'hello'. When he heard the voice on the phone, Yang Dongxu's face changed drastically. The blood on his face instantly disappeared and turned pale.
"Master." Jie Chengwu, who was driving the car, noticed his mistake and lowered the speed of the car, turning around and shouting.
"Go... to the airport, back to Yanjing, right now!" the pale-faced Yang Dongxu roared.
Jie Chengwu stepped on the accelerator, and the decelerating black Mercedes sprang out like lightning. After yelling, Yang Dongxu took several deep breaths but still couldn't suppress his racing heart. With trembling hands, he picked up his cell phone and made a call.
He appeared at the Magic City Airport more than half an hour later, and a plane temporarily dispatched by coordination quickly took off and ran.
At nearly eleven o'clock at night, Yang Dongxu passed through many checkpoints and arrived in front of a heavily guarded ward where many medical staff looked extremely solemn.
There were already many people in the ward when he came, and more people came here after he came, including many people who often appeared in the news broadcast. An old man suddenly became critically ill, which instantly cast a shadow over the sky of the Republic, which was originally celebrating the Spring Festival.
Yang Dongxu obviously didn't rank in front of so many big shots. He just said hello briefly when he met someone he knew, and then stayed alone in the corner. At first, he could try to stay calm, but as time went by as the door of the emergency room opened, After a while, he began to pace back and forth anxiously.
He subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, and then touched his chest pocket. Finally, he realized that he had never smoked in his life, so he did not put cigarettes in his pocket.
In fact, this habitual action has been gradually changed since he has not smoked for more than ten years, but today, the nerves that had been straightened out suddenly appeared again because he was too panicked.
At around two o'clock in the night, the door to the emergency room with the red light on finally opened, and everyone's hearts instantly made a choice. Then when the attending doctor said that they were temporarily rescued, everyone's stiff faces showed a hint of life. But the next sentence sent the lively crowd into the abyss again: "The situation is not optimistic."
These words were like a sledgehammer hitting people's hearts instantly, turning the haze in the sky into thick dark clouds.
He stayed in the hospital until dawn, and then left the hospital under the arrangement of the staff. He was able to appear here because the old man called his name before he passed out. At that time, the old man discussed the issue of educating and rejuvenating the country with several old comrades, and he had some appreciation for him.
When he returned home, Yang Dongxu locked himself in the study and did not open the door from morning to night. It wasn't until the evening that Zhou Ya opened the door and walked into the study, looking at him who was slumped in the chair as if he had lost his soul. Zhou Ya walked over and gently held his head in her arms to comfort him.
The days pass quietly no matter how people feel. The footsteps of the Spring Festival walk in unknowingly, and then slip away unknowingly.
And as time goes by, it is not only time but also life. On February 19, Yang Dongxu came to the hospital again and saw the old man who touched the hearts of the people across the country.
At this time, the old man's red face was filled with no trace of illness. His wise eyes were full of kindness to the younger generation, and he could vaguely see the iron-blooded warrior who was full of hope for victory in the war years.
"You're doing well, keep up the good work." Seeing that old man Yang Dongxu seemed a little happy, he reached out and patted the back of his hand. Then Yang Dongxu nodded vigorously and held back tears, and walked out of the ward accompanied by medical staff.
Yang Dongxu did not follow him, but found a corner in the hospital and paused. He has never known what it feels like when the sky collapses. The days after his rebirth can be rough or rainy, but he can still live as he pleases.
But today, he felt that his whole person had become confused, although he had not lost the way forward. But like a helpless child, he was at a loss.
