After entering the temporary shop made of tents, we sat down around a not-so-large table. Fang Yuan called the boss and directly asked for three buckets of ten kilograms of beer, and then we started ordering food.

Soon the boss brought the barbecue, and the three of us started to take a big glass of beer each, maintaining the same understanding as before, and finishing the first glass in one breath.

So on this subzero night, my brain was stimulated by the cold wine and a strong cold pain, but the pleasure after the cold pain disappeared was the pleasure after the reckless indulgence.

I let out a heavy breath, but found that Fang Yuan and Xiang Chen also made the same moves as me at the same time. Then the three of them smiled helplessly. In fact, we no longer had the passion and vitality we used to be, otherwise we would have had the second cup without interruption.

Jian Wei and Yan Yan skillfully flipped the meat skewers on the oven, and then Yan Yan handed a skewer of cooked meat to Mi Cai and asked, "Mr. Mi, would you like to try it?"

Mi Cai nodded and said, "Of course I want to feel your life in college."

Yan Yan looked at everyone and smiled, saying, "We are just making a fuss... But Mr. Mi, I'm a little curious, how did you live in college in the United States? Is it the same as us?"

“Life was very simple at that time.”

Yan Yan nodded and asked again, "Which city do you go to university in, Mr. Mi?"

“Philadelphia.”

"Vivi is in Los Angeles. Sometimes I really feel that people's fate is quite wonderful. People who should be together, even in the world, will be together... So, I think we should cherish such fate and forget those messy things. How great it would be to be able to gather like today!"

After Yan Yan finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. It is true that what Yan Yan expressed was a beautiful dream, but she was not the person involved after all. We know that there will be fewer and fewer such gatherings.

Today, the reason why I am willing to bring Mi Cai to the appointment is that, on the one hand, I really have some souvenirs for my past university life, and on the other hand, I hope to take this opportunity to completely cut off the past. Sometimes, thinking about the heart-wrenching caused by the past is really exhausting, it is better to forget each other in the blank space after the change of things and people.

...

Soon, we were a little dazed under the influence of alcohol. Xiang Chen, who had been having little communication with Jian Wei, suddenly raised his cup to Jian Wei and said, "Vivi, today, while my friends are all here, let them be a witness. I sincerely ask you to forgive me for my irrationality some time ago... During this period abroad, I thought a lot and realized that I could not give you freedom..."

Jian Wei frowned and interrupted Xiang Chen and said, "We will say privately about the matter between us, is it OK?"

Xiang Chen gave Yan Yan and Fang Yuan a look for help.

Yan Yan grabbed Jian Wei's hand and said, "Viwei, Xiang Chen apologized to you in front of us, that is, he wanted us to help supervise and not make similar mistakes in the future. This is a good thing, so let him finish it."

Jian Wei looked at Xiang Chen, without saying anything, and gave Yan Yan a face with silence.

Xiang Chen seemed a little excited, took a sip of wine and continued, "I will never stop you from opening an advertising company and support you with all my strength. In the future, I will move the focus of my career to Suzhou and accompany you to build an advertising company in Suzhou!"

Jian Wei's expression finally calmed down a little, and she said to Xiang Chen: "There is no need to support it strongly. Compared with your career, my advertising company is just a small fight. You should put your career first and provide spiritual support is enough!"

Xiang Chen asked urgently, "Then are you willing to forgive me?"

"Do I have any other choice?"

Xiang Chen raised his head and when he looked at Jian Wei again, his eyes were already red, and he said with a sob: "Vivi, I really care about you too much, so I long to keep you by my side and manage our future family well. If your freedom is bound by this, I am willing to compromise, because if you love someone, you must fall in love with everything she loves, including the freedom she loves."

Jian Wei's expression finally changed. After a long time, she said softly to Xiang Chen: "Thank you for your understanding and tolerance!"

Xiang Chen smeared his hands heavily from his face, hugged Jian Wei like he lost it, and then said to her: "I have decided to move the company to Suzhou. From now on, we will settle in Suzhou, close to Shanghai and Nanjing. It can be considered an explanation for our parents."

Jian Wei was silent for a while before answering, "You can do this."

Xiang Chen smiled and hugged Jian Wei tighter, and then unexpectedly said to Mi Cai: "Mr. Mi, after our company moved to Suzhou this year, I hope to cooperate with you Zhuomei. I plan to set up cabinets according to high standards in Zhuomei, Suzhou and Zhuomei, Shanghai next month, and I hope you can provide resource support!"

Mi Cai did not immediately express his opinion due to an accident.

Fang Yuan took the conversation and said, "Mr. Mi, I think that Xiang Chen's tobacco and alcohol counter can enter Zhuomei, which is also an opportunity for Zhuomei. Compared with Polytechnic Department Store, Zhuomei is indeed a little weaker in the tobacco and alcohol sector. Although Xiang Chen has set up a counter in Polytechnic, I believe that the scale of setting up a cabinet in Zhuomei will definitely exceed the investment in Polytechnic."

Xiang Chen nodded, affirming Fang Yuan’s statement, and he said: “Last year, I went abroad to get the exclusive agency rights of two first-line red wine brands. I really want to use the Zhuomei platform to show our company’s absolute strength in the same industry, so the scale of investment must be unprecedented.”

Mi Cai thought for a moment and said, "After your cabinet setting plan comes out, we can talk about it in detail. Regarding resources, I will definitely give the greatest help within my ability."

Xiang Chen raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Mi Cai with a smile: "Then I will thank Mr. Mi for his strong support first. I hope I can have a happy cooperation!"

Mi Cai just nodded and didn't say anything more polite.

...

On the way back, when Mi Cai drove, I leaned in the passenger seat with a dizzy look, but I was reluctant to speak, because I had been unable to interfere since they had just negotiated cooperation. First of all, I am not from Zhuomei Planning Department and cannot give advice from the industry. Moreover, I have never experienced capital games of this level, so I have no say.

I looked at the glitz of the city outside the car window with a daze, and couldn't help but worry about my future. I asked myself over and over again in my heart how to fight?

During the torture, I gradually felt powerless because my body, which had nothing, could not carry the huge desire at all. For a moment, I seemed to be trapped in a broken space. My hands touched Mi Cai's pride, but my feet were locked in a desolate desert...

At this time, the originally clean car windows were suddenly covered with dense raindrops, and a heavy rain came unexpectedly, and Mi Cai finally said the first sentence after getting on the bus with the "crackling" sound of rain.

"Zhaoyang, why do you think about Xiang Chen's plan to set up a cabinet in Zhuomei?"
