Volume 4 Chapter 19 The so-called fate
Looking at the wine in the glass, Tong Yu's eyes were a little blurry.
He is waiting for someone.
Just after an important meeting in the company, he made an appointment with Huang Jie at this bar.
"Hello, Uncle Tong."
Huang Jie didn't let Tong Yu wait long.
She wore a sky blue long dress today, which matched her figure and looked particularly beautiful.
"The little girl has grown up."
Tong Yu couldn't help but lament the ruthless passage of time.
After she sat down, Tong Yu asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Huang Jie replied: "Just have a drink!"
Tong Yu called the waiter and gave his order. The waiter quickly brought a glass of juice drink, and Huang Jie said thank you. She picked up the cup, took a sip and put it back on the table. She looked at Tong Yu, waiting for him to speak.
Tong Yu said: "Are your parents okay?"
Huang Jie said: "My health is not bad. Thank you Uncle Tong for your concern."
Tong Yu said: "Cousin, hasn't he retired yet?"
Huang Jie said: "No, he said his body is still strong and he wants to wait a few more years before considering it."
Tong Yu said: "Actually, it is good to leave early. After all, I have been busy for half my life.
You should also enjoy your life. If you really can’t sit still, there are many things you can do, like raising fish and flowers or going out for travel. "
Huang Jie said: "Who says it's not the case? But I can't persuade him."
Tong Yu said: "It's been a long time since I last saw my cousin. I'll visit them another day."
Huang Jie said: "Welcome, my dad always praises you for how you managed to build the company to its current scale under such difficult circumstances."
Tong Yu said: "It's funny. By the way, how are you? Are you dating?"
Huang Jie didn't expect him to ask this question, and felt a little panicked, so she quickly said: "Not yet, there's no rush."
Tong Yu was a little surprised, but he couldn't continue to ask further.
After the two chatted for a while, they went directly to the topic of today's meeting.
A long time ago, Tong's Enterprise wanted to invest in Tianluo, but it was difficult for Tong Yu or even Tong's Enterprise to get involved, and the threshold for Tianluo was extremely high. It is undoubtedly a pity for the development of China. When he learned about the relationship between Huang Jie's mother and the chairman of Tianluo, and saw that Huang Jie often came and went freely in Tianluo, and their relationship was extraordinary, he thought that she would definitely be able to help him.
After he said what he meant, Huang Jie didn't hesitate at all and agreed to help. However, she didn't know the weight of her own, she just said she was willing to give it a try. She didn't know, which made Tong Yu inexplicably grateful. From the moment she nodded, he already knew that something was going on, because he knew that her weight was much heavier than she thought.
After the serious talk, the two chatted casually about some irrelevant things. Finally, Tong Yu asked, "Are you going home? I'll see you off."
Huang Jie said: "Uncle Tong, go ahead and get busy, I have something else to do."
Tong Yu was busy returning to the company for a meeting to discuss preparations, so he stopped insisting, got in the car and left.
Huang Jie actually had nothing to do. After Tong Yu disappeared from her sight, she wandered aimlessly on the street and came to a food stall. She was immediately attracted by the familiar fragrance.
She has loved street snacks since she was a child. Although her parents repeatedly told her, she would secretly try them every time she had time.
The more inedible something is, the greater the temptation.
Those who eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long rarely visit such a small place so blatantly for some reason. However, if an authentic street food is served in the big hotel where they eat, you will see them eating it. Don't want to eat? In the past, because there was no other way, sometimes even grass roots and bark were used to satisfy hunger, but
Nowadays, some people are tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and they are even more curious about these things.
There was no one in the store at this time, except for a man with messy hair leaning on the table, with a few empty bottles scattered around him. He was obviously drunk.
Drink away your sorrows. For heartbroken people, wine is the best thing to gain temporary peace. It is undoubtedly not a good thing to use alcohol to anesthetize yourself, forget your unhappiness and sorrow, and gain short-term tranquility.
Wine can relieve sorrow, but using wine to relieve sorrow makes you even more miserable. After sobering up, the pain did not go away with the alcohol.
Looks like a sad person.
Huang Jie shook his head with a wry smile, chose a clean place to sit down, and prepared to enjoy today's delicious food.
"Yingzi, Yingzi..." The man leaning on the table murmured, suddenly raised his head, and took another sip of wine.
"It's him..." Huang Jie saw the young man clearly, and it turned out that he actually knew him.
Although they say they are acquaintances, it is actually just a casual encounter.
The weather was not bad that day. Huang Jie was heading home after work. She passed an overpass on the road and saw a person standing by the guardrail of the overpass. He looked at the vehicles coming and going under the bridge, as motionless as a stone statue.
"Is he going to commit suicide?"
Huang Jie had a thought and hurried over, shouting: "Hey, sir."
The man seemed startled and turned his face.
Huang Jie was dumbfounded and took a clear look at him. It seemed that he was a few years younger than her. His handsome face showed deep melancholy and haggardness. The clothes he wore were not very conspicuous. A pair of pants were even beaten. With just a few patches, a pair of shoes is already in tatters.
Huang Jie said: "Little brother, why are you seeking death?"
The young man saw her looking at him and then said that he wanted to commit suicide. He said bitterly: "You are the one who wants to die."
It’s true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin, but he doesn’t recognize a good heart!
Huang Jie was angry: "Then you——"
The young man said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm thinking about something. Who asked you to take care of me?"
"Hey, I'm in trouble."
Huang Jie didn't expect to meet a person with such a strange temper. Thinking that she had misunderstood him, she felt bored and couldn't keep it on her face. She really hated herself for being so sensitive and wanted to turn around and leave.
But the young man stopped her and said, "Hey, don't leave."
Huang Jie gave him a look: "What are you doing? Since you don't want to commit suicide, it's none of my business. Do I still have to stay here and be ridiculed by you?"
The young man chuckled maliciously: "Oh, does suicide have nothing to do with you?"
Huang Jie said bitterly: "It's none of my business to commit suicide. If you want to die, just die!"
The young man took a breath and said, "Being so mean after disturbing others, the girls in the city are really angry."
Huang Jie stared: "What did you say?"
The young man said: "I was thinking about something just now and you interrupted me. Don't you need to apologize to me?"
】
When Huang Jie heard this, she was really angry and speechless. She never thought that there was such a person in the world. She wanted to help him with good intentions, but she was bitten back.
She didn't want to pester her anymore, so she said, "I'm sorry, okay?" Then she turned around and left.
The young man stopped her again: "Hey, wait a minute."
Huang Jie was furious and said, "What, didn't you apologize?"
The young man chuckled: "I just want to say that you look really good when you are angry."
"It's none of your business..." Huang Jie suddenly felt uncomfortable speaking and froze there.
At this time, the young man said: "I'm sorry, sister, I was joking with you, thank you."
Unexpectedly, the young man apologized to her, called her sister, and said thank you. Looking at that simple face, Huang Jie couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This smile was like a gust of spring breeze blowing over the young man's face. It was similar to the angry look just now. He also stayed there, looking at her, unable to say a word.
Huang Jie felt shy for no reason, blushed and said, "Hey, what are you doing in a daze?"
The two settled their differences with Huang Jie's smile and started chatting in a friendly manner.
The young man told her that his name was Lei Liang.
It turned out that it had been a while since Lei Liang left home and came to this city to look for Lu Ying, but there was no news from Lu Ying. He was so depressed that he came here to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, he would end up involved in this matter.
Huang Jie also told him his name, and she was five or six years older than him!
"Sister." Lei Liang called her affectionately, and Huang Jie became embarrassed.
The two walked together for a while, and then parted ways after a long time.
"It's him!"
Huang Jie hurriedly stood up and walked over, pushed him and said, "Hey, Lei Liang."
Lei Liang smelled of alcohol and said, "Well... Yingzi... are you back?"
Huang Jie said: "Lei Liang, are you drunk?"
Lei Liang murmured to himself: "Oh... you are not Yingzi... Yingzi is not as tall as you."
Huang Jie didn't know why she suddenly became impulsive. She picked up a glass of cold water and threw it on his face, shouting: "Wake up."
Lei Liang suddenly sobered up a lot. When he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help being shocked and said, "Sister Huang, why is it you?"
Huang Jie said: "It's me, look how drunk you are?"
Lei Liang choked immediately.
Huang Jie quickly paid the bill, walked over to help him, and slowly walked out of the shop.
The cold wind made Lei Liang wake up from his drunkenness. He said to Huang Jie: "Sister Huang, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
Huang Jie said: "Look at you, what's wrong with you? You're so greedy for drinks."
Lei Liang choked again.
Huang Jie continued: "Have you found your Yingzi yet?"
Lei Liang said: "No, I have searched almost all over the city, but there is no news."
Huang Jie said: "Why don't you go to the newspaper office and publish a missing person notice?"
Lei Liang was still confused.
Huang Jie said: "Well, let me help you register one?"
Lei Liang said: "Thank you, oh no...can't log in."
Huang Jie almost went crazy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lei Liang explained: "She did not disappear, she left with a man."
"Ah...so that's it."
Huang Jie didn't ask any more questions.
The two talked for a while, and finally Huang Jie advised him not to drink too much in the future, and Lei Liang agreed.
When Huang Jie returned home, her parents happened to be there, so she casually talked about today's meeting with Tong Yu, and then returned to her room.
Sitting on the bed, Huang Jie looked at the text message on her phone, her heart racing.
That was a text message from Zhao Bing. The text message said that he was old and could no longer bear the trouble. He and Liu Yan had officially confirmed their relationship and were engaged. Finally, he said that he could never forget her and he would always treasure this love in the deepest part of his heart.
Huang Jie received this text message when he got up in the morning. When he first saw it, he was extremely angry. He had made it clear many times that it was impossible for them to be between them. It was just his own wishful thinking, and now he was still disgusting with it.
This person is too hateful, Huang Jie thought and threw the phone on the bed, lying on the bed and closing his eyes. After a while, she stood up and took the phone again, replied with five words "I wish you happiness", and then deleted the text message without hesitation.
Her mood relaxed a lot. At this time, she took the mirror, made a face at herself in the mirror, and chuckled. After she calmed down completely, she took a book and read it quietly.
