Chapter 22: People of the same mind
The arrogant temper refers to what she said in the casino a few months ago, which was so arrogant that she didn't dare to recall it; the good disguise means that after having an arrogant temper, she pretended to be quiet in front of Gu Zhengchen in an attempt to confuse him.
To sum up, these two words are the bottom line and no more can be added.
……
Before getting off the car, Liang Jingwan walked past the front of the car and observed carefully that the license plate in front of her was different from the serial number plates she had seen before. She was thinking about the relationship between the last four numbers in her mind.
He took out his phone, turned the screen sideways to avoid Gu Zhengchen seeing it, opened the browser, and slowly loaded it. After ten seconds, he got the answer.
The last four digits of the license plate are the stock code of Zhongrong Pharmaceutical listed in Hong Kong. Zhongrong Pharmaceutical is one of the core strategic business units of Zhongrong Group Co., Ltd. and is also the first wholly-owned subsidiary to be successfully listed after Gu Zhengchen took over Zhongrong Group. , full of profound meaning.
For a moment, Liang Jingwan disliked her old Liang's license plate number, wedding anniversary, Ms. Su's birthday, etc., two words, tacky!
Gu Zhengchen looked at the unpredictable expressions on the faces of the people beside him. His expressions were vivid and childish, with a little girl's unique coquettishness. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and a sense of pleasure swept through his body.
Liang Jingwan had no idea that her little expression had been caught in the eyes of others, and she was very curious as to whether the boss had signed a lucrative contract to be so happy.
Liang Jingwan looked through the menu. There were a lot of things she wanted to eat, but it was late. If she ate them all, she would probably suffer from indigestion. She selectively picked the few items she wanted to eat the most and then closed them. She just waited until After the delicacies were served, she realized that the whole table was filled with food she liked.
The host and guest enjoyed the meal, but Liang Jingwan noticed that Gu Zhengchen didn't eat much, so she couldn't help but think that the food was not to her taste, so she gave up the idea of packing a dessert.
When she went out, before Liang Jingwan could reach out to push the heavy glass door, Gu Zhengchen had already helped her move away, and she smiled and thanked her.
After getting in the car, Liang Jingwan took out her mobile phone from her bag. The information on her mobile phone kept changing with Gu Zhengchen for a while. The screen of her mobile phone was always dark and no one was looking for her. Finally, there was an APP on the desktop. There was a small red dot in the upper right corner. Click on it. Finally, there is still a phone bill reminder.
She frowned, and then realized that Gu Zhengchen hadn't gotten in the car yet. She lowered the window and stuck her head out to look for it. She happened to see Gu Zhengchen walking towards her with legs, holding a packing box in his hand, with Jiangnan'an printed on the outer package. logo.
The incandescent light in the underground garage was too bright, so the outline of Gu Zhengchen's facial features was not clear. A halo of light surrounded him, and it seemed that he came with a bright and shiny style.
It wasn't until Gu Zhengchen opened the car door that Liang Jingwan calmed down and realized that she had to put her head back into the car. As the two looked at each other, Gu Zhengchen reached out and handed over the packaging box in his hand.
The aroma of the dessert was fragrant, and the familiar taste was exactly what Liang Jingwan wanted to pack and take away. Joy flashed in her eyes, and she suppressed a smile on her face. She could only pretend to express her gratitude in a serious and subtle way, "Thank you, Director Gu."
"I saw you finish all the glutinous rice balls at the dining table. I guess it suits your taste." Gu Zhengchen observed carefully. The only dish on the table that was finished was the fermented glutinous rice dumplings.
Liang Jingwan didn't talk anymore because she felt... something wasn't right, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
The Maybach stopped at the bottom of No. 11 Bodhi Bay.
Liang Jingwan bent down to thank her and said "Good night."
She originally thought that Gu Zhengchen would leave soon, but after Gu Zhengchen nodded, he put his left hand on the lowered car window, holding a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. Judging from his posture, it was obvious that he would not leave until he finished smoking the cigarette. look.
Liang Jingwan could only walk into the building first, blocking Gu Zhengchen's sight.
Liang Jingwan casually threw off the flat shoes on her feet, pulled on the slippers, stretched out her hand to pull the curtains, and looked downstairs accidentally. The Maybach was still there. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She actually felt that Gu Zhengchen was more than ten years away. The floors were watching her. Feeling nervous, Liang Jingwan closed the curtains neatly, covered her face with her hands, rubbed them back and forth a few times, and finally sighed.
……
The next day.
Liang Jingwan went downstairs sleepily. After taking a few steps, she opened her eyes wide and saw the person in front of her in disbelief, "How do you know I live here?"
Li Zhaoning raised his head, "Didn't I ask for your home address when I was taking notes yesterday?"
Liang Jingwan suddenly realized, but she asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't get to eat last night, so I just wanted to treat you to breakfast." Li Zhaoning walked around the front of the car and opened the door for Liang Jingwan.
Liang Jingwan clicked her tongue twice, "How rare are you able to get up?"
"You too." Li Zhaoning replied, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both thinking of their studies at the University of Chicago.
Liang Jingwan and Li Zhaoning met in London two years ago. They were studying in the same major - psychology. At that time, Li Zhaoning was graduating. Liang Jingwan first arrived at the University of Chicago. The two first met in the class of a well-known professor. She was a close friend. class, and the whole room teaches The room was full, and only one seat beside Li Zhaoning was vacant. She asked Li Zhaoning to give way, but Li Zhaoning questioned that she was not a student in this class. The argument was too loud, and Liang Jingwan did not want to attract the attention of others, so she had no choice but to walk out of the classroom.
Even though she later learned that Li Zhaoning was holding a seat for another Chinese student who was working as a work-study student, Liang Jingwan didn't have the slightest fondness for him.
The second scene was at a gathering of international students. Li Zhaoning had a good chat with several Japanese female classmates, but she didn't have a good attitude toward the Japanese. Later, she learned from several Chinese female classmates that Li Zhaoning would not refuse anyone who came, so Liang Jingwan felt Silently branded as a playboy.
The reason for the gradual familiarity was... being late.
It was still a class with the professor. Liang Jingwan overslept, hunched over, and tried to sneak in through the back door. She walked from front to back, and Li Zhaoning walked from back to front. The two happened to meet at the back door, and there was a twinkle in their eyes. What happened was...it turned out that we were kindred spirits.
What gradually changed later was that the reason Li Zhaoning was late that day was to help Chinese students working on the work-study program work the night shift, and she also learned from that classmate that Li Zhaoning would often help him, both in his studies and in life.
But within a year, Li Zhaoning was the first to return to China, and she went from being late together to being late alone.
Liang Jingwan looked at the scenery outside the window. The wind blew up the fallen leaves, hovering in the air, dancing and then falling quietly. The ones on the left were yellow and the ones on the right were green. It was half autumn and half summer. She opened the calendar and looked at the date. I found that time flew by.
The two found a breakfast shop near the law firm. It was already late, and everyone who bought breakfast packed their bags and left in a hurry.
The tables and stools were not clean, and there was still dirt after wiping them with paper towels. Liang Jingwan didn't care, but Li Zhaoning still took off his coat and handed it to Liang Jingwan. Liang Jingwan reached out to take it, but didn't put it under her body. She just lifted her handbag and placed it On.
Liang Jingwan bought a portion of wontons and scooped them up, feeling the heat filling the air.
After breakfast, Liang Jingwan took out her mobile phone from her bag. The time was neither too early nor too late. She waved to Li Zhaoning and stepped into the building.
Walking into the coffee shop on the first floor, I was about to speak when I saw someone familiar.
