Le Yao and Cao Jinfei, as well as the heavyweight guests who participated in their wedding, left in the crowd. Although it was only more than an hour from their appearance to their departure, the hidden commercial value brought to Lu Ku and Zhuomei was immeasurable. I believe that all the planners involved in this event will attract this business event with Le Yao and Cao Jinfei participating as one of the successful planning cases in their lives and are also an important bargaining chip to increase their workplace qualifications.

The convoy with Le Yao and Cao Jinfei as the core gradually disappeared from my sight, giving me a feeling of regaining freedom. I opened the window at the first time and breathed the air derived from the sun. Although it was a little dry and cold, it also sootheed my emotional chaos. I leaned on the seat and said nothing but speechless for a long time.

The woman in red did not disturb me. When I closed my eyes and couldn't see the whole world, she opened the car door and left quietly. Before she could walk far away, I lit a cigarette for myself. I felt that no one in this world would live more luxuriously than I was at this time... Because there was cigarette, loneliness, thinking that could be imagined freely, and a dizzy noon, the sun filled my side.

After starting the car, I finally left Zhuomei and ordered a bowl of hot dry noodles on the nearby snack street. It was today's lunch. I no longer think that Le Yao would invite me to her wedding banquet. Although she once said that she would give me a wedding invitation and let me prove her wedding, when the wedding really came, she changed her mind and turned me into a man who had nothing to do with her, and then isolated me from her wedding...

The hot dry noodles were already sent to me by the elderly male boss. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It felt good, so I focused on eating noodles and stopped thinking about those overly complicated things...

Half of the noodles were eaten, and a message from my mobile phone was heard from my pants pocket. The chopsticks in my hand did not stop. I took the phone out of my pocket with my left hand. I took a look and found that it was a text message from Le Yao...

"Zhaoyang, thank you for giving me this wedding. Without you, there wouldn't be this wedding."

I smiled and then realized that I was following up and organizing Le Yao's entire wedding planning and execution. In fact, I have been participating in her wedding and have never really left. For example, every beam of lights lingering around Le Yao on the wedding stage today was carefully designed by me, so I have always had a subtle relationship with this wedding.

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and replied to Le Yao: "Why are you so polite?... Although I took some thought to plan this wedding, the help you gave me is too trivial."

I thought after we sent each other messages, Le Yao would invite me to her wedding banquet for a happy meal, but she was wishful thinking and she didn't even reply to the message. So I asked for another bowl of hot dry noodles to continue filling my stomach.

.........

This afternoon, Robben took his girl and met me at the "Sea View Coffee" downstairs of Zhuomei. The girl sat with me. Robben sat alone opposite him. I asked him, "Why are you here with your girl? Where is Le Yao?"

"After the wedding banquet was held, I went back to Beijing with Cao Jinfei and left the girl to me and Manwen to take care of her."

I sighed: "You shouldn't be so anxious!"

Robben glanced at the girl and replied, "Who knows what she thought... said that she would inform me after the settlement in Beijing, and then ask me to send the girl over... As I said, she should not take the girl to Beijing, and it would float around all day long."

I nodded and echoed: "It's good to follow you and Teacher Wei. After all, Teacher Wei has been in that small mountain village and has also been a teacher for the girl. There is no obstacle to communication between the two."

"That's what I mean... God knows whether this little girl can adapt to the wealthy life of her and Cao Jinfei when she goes to Beijing. I think it's better to live a more ordinary life with Manwen and me."

I smiled and said, "It's mainly because life is reliable with Teacher Wei. Forget it, the word "stubborn" has nothing to do with you at all."

Robben lit a cigarette, as if he remembered his life that had not been ordinary in the past few years...

While he was silent, I took out a bank card from my briefcase and handed it to him and said, "This card contains the pay for Cao Jinfei to participate in our company's micro-film, with a total of 600,000 yuan. Le Yao made the decision for Cao Jinfei and used this pay as the living expenses for the girl to go to college in the future... Since the girl lives with you and Teacher Wei in the future, please ask you and Teacher Wei to keep the money for the girl."

"My girl and I can afford it. You can keep this money yourself. It will always be useful when you pay it."

"Aren't you telling a joke? What's the point of keeping this money?"

Luo Ben shook his head firmly and said, "Don't make Manwen and I raise the girl for this money. In fact, Manwen and I discussed it a long time ago. After the economic conditions improve a little, we will go to the mountains to adopt a child. Now the girl is following us, which is the best."

"You are just mentally clean!"

Robben didn't say anything more, picked up the card, threw it in front of me, took a snort of cigarette, and asked again: "CC has been away for so many days. Have you ever contacted you?...I always feel that on the day Le Yao got married, she would ask you to send something to Le Yao."

I sighed: "This time it is definitely your illusion...cc she left cleanly. Don't make a gap between you and Teacher Wei because of this. Please persuade her at the right time and get married quickly. After all, she is a woman who really can't afford to delay. As for those past pains, let her go to the ends of the world and dissipate."

Robben nodded, leaned on the sofa with some fatigue, and closed his eyes and sighed: "Time is a sharp blade, cutting those who have been intimately connected to us from our world, and never see you..., I don't know who the next one is!"

I empathize because I have said goodbye to so many people over the years, and this time I say goodbye to Le Yao. Although we can still contact each other, it is not much different from being apart. I believe that after the filming of the micro-film is over, if we want to meet again, we can only rely on encountering each other by chance, because no one can find a legitimate reason to meet each other.

.........

Robben and I have been sitting there smoking and drinking tea, never moving. The good boy, the girl, chose a quieter corner and wrote her holiday homework alone, which gave me the space to chat with Robben at will. We talked about the women in life, the unsatisfactory life, and even some insights into music... The sky outside the window dimmed unconsciously in our chat. Various lights occupied every corner of the city in a dazzling and fascinating manner, but the light was not a real thing after all. Although it brought a full feeling, it also drew out the emptiness and loneliness in our hearts.

During my brief silence between Robben and I, Zhuomei's sales data was once again fed back to me in the form of a text message, and it was still so exciting. As of now, it has exceeded 80 million in sales, which indicates that before 12 a.m., it can steadily exceed 100 million in expected sales. This event has created a sales myth in Suzhou's retail history that is difficult to surpass. In other words, Fang Yuan succeeded, Zhuomei succeeded, and all those involved in this event were successful.

I put down my phone and suddenly felt tired. At this time, the part we participated in, Luku had successfully completed. I wanted to go back and rest. As for the sales data behind, I no longer had that heavy expectations.

When she was about to say goodbye to Robben, Wei Manwen walked slowly at the stairs of the coffee shop. Her body was still full of intellectual beauty and feelings with Robben, and it was ups and downs.

She did not come to Robben and me, but went to the girl's place, handed her a warm burger, and then helped her put away her schoolbag. After collecting it, she took the girl's hand and prepared to leave, completely treating Robben and me as nothing.

I finally couldn't sit still and shouted to her: "Teacher Wei, stop for me."

Wei Manwen turned her head and looked at me with confusion, but she didn't say anything. I immediately picked up my briefcase and ran towards her. Since I met her here, of course I wanted to persuade her not to leave Robben like this, and have left forever. All emotional entanglements should be put aside.

I asked the girl to sit there for a while, then pulled Wei Manwen to walk to the first floor of the coffee shop, and chose a corner beside the window. Before I could sit firmly, I said to her: "Teacher Wei, in my heart, you have always been an intellectual woman, but you are so irrational in this matter? ...I really don't think it is a wise decision to choose to postpone the wedding date with Robben."

Wei Manwen looked at me and said for a long time: "Maybe you think I'm a false statement, but I really hope to give Robben some space to make him think clearly who should be with. I don't want him to regret it after we get married...that is the woman who is most suitable for him, and I am not."

Her answer surprised me very much. After a moment of silence, I asked, "Now, Teacher Wei, let's make an assumption. If you give Robben space, what should you do? ...I don't think that after you leave Robben in your life, which man will you fall in love with!"

Wei Manwen was a little confused when she watched the people coming and going outside the coffee shop...

Then I asked the waiter for a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for myself and her, and then waited patiently for her answer.

She finally came to her senses and said to me without much expression: "Since I have been in that small mountain village for three years, love has been no longer the most important thing in life... It is difficult for Wei Manwen to be equated with the Wei Manwen we used to."

"What did Wei Manwen look like in the past?"

"Wai Manwen, who used to be quarreled with Robben because she couldn't see the future, would go to the bar to drink because of his disloyalty, from evening to late at night... she would be unable to think about losing love and would not want to survive in this world... But these are the past after all. If it weren't for him to find that small mountain village a few years later, I would have married there, live quietly for the rest of my life, and accompany those children who are waiting for blooming like flowers, it would be great and very happy!"

I looked at her even more surprised. I couldn't imagine that Wen Wan was like her, and she would make a big fuss and go to the bar to get drunk without any chance. But time is really a very powerful thing. It has completely transformed Wei Manwen with its magic and allowed her to see through many things.

"Teacher Wei, can I understand that you said that, in fact, you still have the doctor who almost became your fiancé in the small mountain village?"

Wei Manwen's expression was a little confused. She looked up at me and said, "His name is Zhou Hang."

Because it took a long time and I had no close relationship with that man, I really can't remember his name, but he was profound and indelible in Wei Manwen's heart, so she told me the man's name so solemnly.

I let out a sigh of relief, and habitually curled my lips, saying, "Teacher Wei, I can't remember the name of that man when you care so much. In fact, I have told me the answer: You really have him in your heart, not even inferior to Robben."

Wei Manwen lowered her head, gently turned her fingers into the tea cup, and after a long time, she replied: "Yes, so I can understand it very much... In fact, there is no too real love in this world. What we like is the lifestyle brought by love... Zhou Hang and I have always had the same ideals and values. I really look forward to working with him to make some contributions to the children and villagers in that small mountain village, and then live some quiet days."

I was a little excited: "But...but why did you choose to be with Robben and leave that small mountain village?"

This time, Wei Manwen quickly gave me the answer: "Maybe I love him at heart... But during this time I returned to Suzhou, I realized more and more that I don't have to live for love. The lifestyle I like is the most important thing."

At this time, I finally understood why Wei Manwen delayed her wedding with Robben and appeared again.

Looking back carefully, since she returned to Suzhou, there has always been something missing between her and Robben. No matter what achievements Robben achieved, she is always so calm and calm that she cannot be happy for Robben's joy, and she has not even attended the first concert after Robben became famous... because the lifestyle she is experiencing has deviated from the way she needs.

"Teacher Wei, tell me, is that man named Zhou Hang still waiting for you to change your mind and return to that small mountain village?"

"Um."

I nodded and said, "This matter has exceeded the scope of what I can intervene. I will not ask anything more. I just hope you can find an opportunity to open up and talk to Robben... At the same time, I respect your feelings for Zhou Hang. After all, although we outsiders have never seen it in the years you have been with him, there must be a lot of emotional sweetness and warmth, which is also an extremely precious part of your memory."

"Thank you for understanding and respecting me with mature thoughts."

.........

After I finished talking with Wei Manwen, she and Robben left the coffee shop peacefully with the girl, but I fell into an unprecedented confusion, repeatedly pondering what Wei Manwen just said... She said: There is no too real love in this world, we just like lifestyle brought by love...

After a long time, I couldn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, but I felt sad for Robben. Even though I could respect Wei Manwen's feelings for Zhou Hang, she no longer regarded Robben as the whole of her emotional world... It seems that they are just a colorful leaves in their love life, which can fall on the water, in the mountains, and in the black light that never has an answer.

......

This night, I sat alone in "Sea View Coffee" until early in the morning, and then I heard the bell ringing at 12 o'clock from Zhuomei's bell tower, and then I realized that this Christmas was over...

The text message ringtone also rang at the same time. I received the last sales data of Zhuomei in this event again. By the end of the event, Zhuomei had completed a total of 116 million yuan in sales, exceeding the pre-set goals, and creating a sales myth in the department store industry.

I raised my head and wiped my hands heavily from my face. Then, my whole body became empty, completely empty. On this day, my brain had received too many messages, and finally I was overwhelmed and paralyzed, so that my cell phone ringing for a long time, but I didn't reach out to answer...
