Entrepreneurship is not an easy task. Lu Yan accompanied Shen Kuo along the way, witnessed his hard work and sweat every day, and realized that everything he has in the future is well deserved.
No one can succeed casually, even though this is an era where heroes are created by the times, most of them are ordinary people who are unknown to the public.
Heroes come all the way.
Once, Lu Yan rolled around coquettishly, dragged Shen Kuo to the commercial center, and was about to buy clothes for him.
Today is different from the past, Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen are starting a business, and there are always some clothes that can be worn out in some scenes.
Lu Zhen didn't need to worry, Lu Jian had already tailored several sets of high-end suits for him, not to mention Liang Ting and Ye Jiaqi, they were both sons-in-law, and they would never be short of these.
On most occasions, Shen Kuo wears Lu Zhen's suit. Lu Zhen is very loyal, and he wears the best clothes for him.
Although both of them are about the same height at 1.87 meters, he and Lu Zhen are somewhat different in stature.
Lu Yan and Jian Yao always call Lu Zhen a big fool. He has a hunchback, a tall body, and looks very strong. Compared with him, Shen Kuo's body is much slender, with very well-proportioned muscles, gentle and reserved.
So when the two stood together, Lu Zhen was regarded as Shen Kuo's bodyguard more than once.
Shen Kuo looked loose in Lu Zhen's suit. As his girlfriend, Lu Yan dutifully dragged Shen Kuo out to buy clothes.
After coming out of the high-end tailor-made suit shop, Lu Yan dragged Shen Kuo to the men's clothing shop.
Shen Kuo was limp and had no strength, let Lu Yan drag him into the men's clothing store.
There were quite a lot of customers in the store, and the waiter was too busy, so Lu Yan helped him choose a few sets of clothes, compared them on him, stuffed them all into his arms, and pushed him into the dressing room without saying a word.
Shen Kuo yawned and entered the locker room. Lu Yan took out her mobile phone and chatted with Jian Yao. There were two companies who wanted to sign her, so she asked Lu Yan to help refer.
Of course, Lu Yan chose Star Entertainment Media with the most development potential without hesitation.
"Star Entertainment was only established last year. It seems that resources are relatively limited. Compared with other companies, it seems that the advantage is not great."
"Choose Star Entertainment Media!" Lu Yan said firmly: "Although Star Entertainment Media may not look very eye-catching now, it definitely has potential for development!"
"real or fake?"
"Trust me, I won't cheat you."
Although Star Entertainment Media is still a small company that has just started, in Lu Yan's era, Star Entertainment Media has almost taken over half of the entertainment industry, and it definitely has potential for development.
"Okay, if I trust you once, then I will be Star Entertainment."
The corner of Lu Yan's mouth slightly raised, she put down her phone, and found that Shen Kuo hadn't come out yet.
It's been fifteen minutes since he went in to change clothes, hasn't he changed yet
Lu Yan got up and walked to the door of the locker room, calling softly, "Shen Kuo?"
No response.
She called him again, the phone was connected, and the phone rang, but the man didn't move.
Following the ringing of the phone, Lu Yan came to the cubicle of the dressing room and gently opened the curtain.
The boy was sitting in the corner of the chair in the locker room, his clothes were half hanging on his body, his head was leaning against the wall, his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep.
Lu Yan quickly hung up the phone.
Such a loud ringtone of the mobile phone didn't wake him up, so I don't know how deeply he slept.
Lu Yan sat beside Shen Kuo, and gently moved his head to her shoulders to make him sleep more comfortably.
He must be exhausted.
Lu Yan sat up straight, supported his heavy head, tilted her head and planted a light kiss on his forehead.
Soon after, a high-end software conference will be held in S City, where Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen will present their latest achievements.
Lu Yan knew that this press conference was the starting point for Shen Kuo's career to take off, and it was also a turning point in his life. In any case, Lu Yan will not miss this press conference.
Seeing that his daughter was interested in the press conference, Lu Zhen simply called Jian Yao to the press conference.
It's just that he didn't think about it, two days before departure, he received a call from Lu Xiaoyan, saying that it happened that summer vacation was coming soon, and he wanted to come to see his brother's press conference.
Lu Jian also said that if he was going on a trip, it would be good for her to bring his sister with him and go out to relax more.
"It's not travel, it's about work."
"It's all the same. Your sister is also very boring at home. It's just right to go out and relax."
Helpless, Lu Zhen and Liang Ting picked up Lu Xiaoyan at the airport and showed her around the campus of Q University. Lu Xiaoyan didn't seem to be interested in the campus scenery. When she saw Shen Kuo in front of the computer department building, she ran over excitedly and opened her arms. Wanting to hug him, Lu Zhen grabbed him by the collar.
"Come, come, meet, this is your nephew and son-in-law." Lu Zhen carried Lu Xiaoyan to Chen Kuo and said, "Chen Kuo, come and call me aunt."
Lu Xiaoyan: ...
She muttered unconvinced: "It's funny, obviously Shen Kuo is your brother, why do you call me aunt."
Lu Zhen stretched out his arms to embrace Shen Kuo, and said with a smile, "Ask him what he called me."
Lu Xiaoyan looked at Shen Kuo, and Shen Kuo called out expressionlessly, "Dad."
"..."
On the train, Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo sat in the same row, Jian Yao and Lu Yan sat together.
Jian Yao looked back at Lu Xiaoyan, and asked Lu Yan in a low voice, "Who is she?"
"Uh, Lu Zhen's other sister."
Jian Yao doesn't know Lu Yan's identity yet, so Lu Yan can only explain to her in this way: "I lost it a few years ago, but I just found it recently, thanks to Shen Kuo's help."
She roughly told Jian Yao what happened, omitting some of the content.
Jian Yao shrugged: "No wonder, I just said, why don't you be jealous of her eyes staring at Shen Kuo."
Lu Yan shrugged, and said lightly, "Just a little girl."
Jian Yao reminded: "It's a little girl who looks very similar to you."
Lu Yan smiled: "So what."
"You really don't have to worry."
"Worried about these illusory things, I might as well go to sleep." Lu Yan said, closing her eyes and leaning on her shoulder: "She has only known Shen Kuo for a few days, and she doesn't know him at all, that is, seeing that he is handsome. Just get up."
"Okay, okay, you have a big heart."
"Not big hearted..."
Shen Kuo said that she was his only one.
what is unique.
Irreplaceable, it's up to you.
He spent his life keeping his promise.
After the train started, Lu Xiaoyan took out a math test paper from her schoolbag, ran to Shen Kuo, sat between him and Lu Zhen, and squeezed half of Lu Zhen's buttocks out.
"Brother Shen Kuo, I don't know how to do a math problem. I heard that you are good at math. Can you help me?"
Shen Kuo looked away from the window, and frowned slightly: "I'm very tired now, ask your brother."
Lu Xiaoyan twitched her lips and said, "My brother's grades are so poor, so he can't do it. Just help me see."
Shen Kuo raised his eyes to look at Lu Yan, she fell on Jian Yao's shoulder and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"I'm tired, ask someone else."
After he finished speaking, he still looked out of the window and ignored her.
Lu Xiaoyan's eyes were red. This was the first time she was rejected, and she felt extremely uncomfortable: "Obviously... You were not like this when you were in County A."
At that time, in order to save her, he was also scratched by a villager's knife.
She bit her lower lip tightly, tears rolled in her eyes: "You will change when you come back."
Lu Zhen next to him pretended to be asleep and couldn't bear it any longer. He stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Xiaoyan's head, and said lazily, "He has been dead like this from the beginning to the end, and he has never changed."
"certainly not!"
"You girl, why are you so stubborn? I've already told you that he is your niece and son-in-law. Why don't you understand!"
Lu Xiaoyan became emotional again: "What kind of niece and son-in-law, that's right!"
Shen Kuo withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at Lu Xiaoyan, and said expressionlessly: "Everything I do is for Lu Yan, so I hope you don't misunderstand it any longer. Besides, I won't give you lectures, and I won't say a word to you again, if Lu Yan is unhappy, I will be very unhappy."
He emphasized the word "very".
Lu Xiaoyan finally couldn't hold back anymore, tears flowed down her face. It was really embarrassing to be rejected in front of so many people.
At this time, Liang Ting, who was sitting next to Ye Jiaqi, stood up suddenly, and said to Lu Xiaoyan, "Ye Jiaqi's grades are also good. Weren't you two good friends when you were young, let him give you a lecture, and you will be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Xiaoyan to be willing or not, he carried her to his seat and sat down with her.
Ye Jiaqi was dozing off, but upon hearing this, he opened his eyes, yawned lazily, and took Lu Xiaoyan's test paper: "Which question?"
Lu Xiaoyan pointed to the question on the test paper: "This."
"Give me the pen."
…
Ye Jiaqi patiently explained in detail what Lu Xiaoyan did wrong on the test paper.
Liang Ting sat on Ye Jiaqi's seat and watched them from afar.
Although Ye Jiaqi hated him, he had to say that he was very kind to Lu Xiaoyan, maybe because they were good friends since childhood, or maybe because... Lu Xiaoyan looked exactly like Lu Yan.
Ye Jiaqi looked at her from time to time, with a subtle expression.
And these all fell into Liang Ting's eyes, and some selfish thoughts gradually brewed in his heart.
After Lu Xiaoyan got stuck with Shen Kuo, Ye Jiaqi's gentle attitude made her feel a strong gap in an instant.
After the two finished talking about the topic, they started chatting. Lu Xiaoyan told him about the experiences of the past few years, and Ye Jiaqi was very disappointed when she heard it. However, she can recover now and live like a normal person, so things are difficult in the world If you lose something, you gain it.
After the train arrived at the station, Lu Xiaoyan sat next to Ye Jiaqi, chatting with him, and never talked to Shen Kuo again.
The group took a taxi directly to the hotel. The room was booked long ago. Lu Zhen booked a room for him and Shen Kuo, Jian Yao, Lu Yan and his younger sister for three, and Ye Jiaqi and Liang Ting.
In fact, Lu Zhen wanted to live in the same room with Jian Yao, but there was no way, such an arrangement would definitely single out Lu Yan and Chen Kuo.
As a father, he absolutely cannot give up his daughter, even if they are in a relationship, not at all!
In the room, Lu Xiaoyan tidied up her things with great movements, showing a bit of venting, and it was obvious that she was quite unhappy.
Lu Yan knew that she was angry, so she raised the corner of her mouth and said loudly to Jian Yao, "Honey, let's go sing later."
"OK."
When Lu Xiaoyan heard this, she glanced at them, feeling itchy in her heart, but she still didn't say anything.
Lu Yan gave Jian Yao nunu eyes, Jian Yao got what she meant, and said with a smile: "I heard that the nightlife in the ten-mile foreign market in S City is very rich. Let's go and see it later."
"Lu Zhen definitely disagrees when she finds out."
"Don't tell him, let's go after their boy falls asleep."
Lu Yan deliberately said to Lu Xiaoyan: "Girl, don't tell the truth."
Lu Xiaoyan quickly stood up: "I want to tell my brother, you two sneak out to play!"
Jian Yao immediately blocked the door, stopped Lu Xiaoyan, and said in embarrassment: "What should we do, we can't go out with this little girl here."
Lu Yan asked her: "What should I do so that you won't say it?"
Lu Xiaoyan hesitated for a while, the desire to go out and play finally overcame everything, she had been in the countryside for so many years, she wanted to go out and see the colorful world, but Meng Zhining and Lu Jian were too busy to spend time with her.
Her expression was a little unnatural: "Except, unless you also bring me to play together."
Lu Yan and Jian Yao looked at each other with a smile, and Lu Yan said: "However, some people hate me so much, and they want to drive me away to play together, so they probably won't be happy."
Like Lu Zhen, Lu Xiaoyan has a pure personality and shows all emotions on her face. Such a person doesn't hide anything in his heart.
She quickly said, "Then...then I don't hate you anymore."
Lu Yan laughed: "Okay."
That night, the three girls sneaked out and found a small and elegant bar. Jian Yao took her guitar and sang on stage, while the aunt and nephew sat under the stage and listened to her singing.
After coming out of the bar, a few people went to the food stall to eat barbecue. Both Jian Yao and Lu Yan are lively and good at playing. This night, Lu Xiaoyan was almost so happy that she flew into the sky.
Only then did she realize how happy it is to have a girl of the same age who is like a sister by her side. Compared to this, any boy or pet is just a cloud, and the most important thing is to be happy...
Lu Yan patted the little girl's shoulder and said: "Study hard these few years and make up for the missing homework. I will pay attention to you. The most important thing in this world is boys. Then I will find you a better one." OK!"
"That's a deal."
Originally, she had only known Shen Kuo for a few days, and he had already said such decisive words, so naturally she would no longer stalk him.
Lu Xiaoyan was fed a few glasses of fruit wine by Jian Yao, her mind was a little unclear, she grabbed Lu Yan's collar and said, "Shen Kuo likes you, Ye Jiaqi likes you, even Brother Liang Ting likes you, what kind of devil are you?"
"She is a devil, the kind that kills all men, women and children." Jian Yao said, "If she and your brother fall into the river at the same time, I will definitely save her."
Lu Xiaoyan laughed grinningly: "You really are a vixen."
"That's right, look at her peach blossom eyes, it's the reincarnation of a vixen."
Lu Yan grinned and rubbed Lu Xiaoyan's head: "Where did you hear that?"
She recognized Ye Jiaqi and Shen Kuo, what the hell was Liang Ting.
Lu Xiaoyan said seriously: "Ye Jiaqi said this afternoon, he said that Liang Ting has liked you for many years."
With a "pop", the cup in Lu Yan's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
In the room, when Ye Jiaqi came out of the shower, Liang Ting was sitting in front of the computer and writing code, Ye Jiaqi raised his foot and poked him on the back: "Don't think I don't know, what are you planning to get Lu Xiaoyan to Me, kill two birds with one stone?"
Liang Ting turned sideways: "Don't touch me."
Ye Jiaqi lay on the bed, and smiled leisurely: "You are so fucking great, how long can you keep it a secret?"
Liang Ting ignored him.
Ye Jiaqi said leisurely, "I just won't let you get what you want."
Liang Ting looked back at him, with a trace of doubt on his face: "What do you mean?"
"Means nothing."
…
At night, Lu Yan and Jian Yao supported Lu Xiaoyan back to the room, and walked lightly as they passed the corridor, for fear of waking up the boys next door.
But as soon as she opened the door of the room, she received a text message from Shen Kuo: "Are you back?"
Lu Yan immediately poked her head out and looked at the corridor. There was no one in the corridor. She texted back: "It's so late, you haven't slept yet!"
Shen Kuo: "I'm doing the final program improvement, and I'm waiting for you to come back by the way."
"How do you know I slipped out?"
"Come to S city, can you stay in the room obediently?"
You Qi still follows her mother who is completely uneasy.
Lu Yan looked at the text message and smiled. He really understood her.
She walked to the balcony, just in the next room, and Shen Kuo also came out, and the two of them stared at each other from afar through the deep night.
Just as Lu Yan was about to speak, Shen Kuo stretched his fingers to his lips and softly "shushed", signaling to Lu Zhen who was sleeping soundly in the room.
Lu Yan nodded cautiously, leaning on the window sill with her hand and looking at him with her cheek resting on her cheek.
Shen Kuo tugged at his collar, with fiery emotions in his eyes.
Lu Yan understood what he meant, and secretly forgot that in the room, Lu Xiaoyan was sleeping like a pig, and Jian Yao was taking a shower in the bathroom.
Her cheeks were a little flushed, she reached out and unbuttoned the first button of her neckline, then stopped immediately, and gestured to him: "You come too."
Shen Kuo didn't care, smiled lightly, and unbuttoned all the buttons of his jacket. A gust of wind lifted the corners of his clothes, and his figure with eight well-proportioned plate abs was so A that it made nosebleeds.
He raised his jaw, and the corners of his eyes raised a half-smile.
Lu Yan blushed, and took the second ke [... ] slowly, the [... ] on the neck [...] looked whiter and whiter in the night, and [...] was faintly visible.
Shen Kuo made a mouth gesture: "Continue."
Lu Yan untied the third ke[...], gave him[...]a few seconds, then hurried back to the room, jumped onto the bed, and buried her head in the pillow.
Shen Kuo sent a text message, two words—
"cute."
Of course she knew what he said was cute.
The press conference went smoothly. Lu Yan watched young boys in suits and leather shoes stand in front of the booth, showing their designs to powerful capitalists.
Shen Kuo was relatively calm, while Lu Zhen and Ye Jiaqi were a little nervous.
She suddenly saw their future 20 years later, but the teenagers at this time were relatively young, and 20 years later, they all had their own careers, so they naturally dealt with such a situation calmly and calmly.
Time flows quietly like water, Lu Yan is so lucky to be able to participate in the youthful years of the two most important people in her life and witness their efforts and glory.
But in those few days, the communication between Lu Yan and Liang Ting was obviously not as natural as before. Liang Ting had a keen mind and noticed the... tension behind the girl's pretending to be calm.
He probably already knew it.
On the train back, at the side of the narrow aisle, Lu Yan was holding a water cup to collect water beside the water heater, just in time to meet Liang Ting approaching, she panicked, nodded to him, and capped the bottle indiscriminately.
Liang Ting took her thermos in silence, tightened the cap, and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Lu Yan said these two words in a low voice, and ran away.
Liang Ting stopped her and asked blankly, "Xiao Yan, did Ye Jiaqi say something to you?"
Lu Yan's footsteps stopped, her whole body was so stiff that she didn't dare to look back at him: "No... no, no..."
She stuttered and couldn't even speak clearly, it was so embarrassing, if it was Ye Jiaqi, she could refuse or even ignore him without hesitation.
But Liang Ting... She couldn't do it, he has always been very good to her, no matter in high school or college, he really took care of her like an elder, so good that she would feel guilty whenever she thought about it kind...
To be liked is something to be owed.
Seeing the little girl's reaction, Liang Ting understood that she knew everything.
"Lu Yan, let's talk."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight towards the end of the carriage.
Lu Yan clenched the corner of her clothes, and followed with mechanical steps.
There was no one at the section where the compartment was cut off. After Liang Ting stood still and looked back at her, Lu Yan quickly said, "Uncle Liang Ting, I'm sorry."
"What's wrong with that?" Liang Tingyun smiled lightly: "There's no need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong."
... just don't like me.
Lu Yan knew that she had done nothing wrong, but she still felt guilty, because she used to enjoy all his care for her with peace of mind, she really treated him like an uncle, even though they are about the same age now.
"I know that your heart belongs to you. I have been controlling my emotions recently and letting myself get out slowly, but this is not an easy process. I think there are some things that I should tell you, otherwise I will not be able to get past myself. This hurdle in your heart, you listen to me patiently, don't feel annoying, okay."
Lu Yan nodded vigorously.
"It's a very humble thing to like someone. I'm afraid that you will know, and I'm afraid that you...don't know."
He looked at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly: "I will laugh when I see you laugh, and my heart will break when I see you cry. I hope you and him are good, but I don't want you to be good. Uneasy."
Lu Yan's eyes were red, she lowered her head, not knowing what to say, full of guilt and sadness.
Afraid that he would know, but also afraid that he would not know, she had experienced such feelings before.
"Xiao Yan, you are very good. In my heart...you are the best one. Sometimes I even think about it. I will accompany you as an uncle and watch you from afar. My whole life I will feel satisfied, and even I can never marry for life."
Lu Yan shook her head quickly: "No, you can't."
Liang Ting smiled lightly: "Yeah, these are very naive thoughts, maybe... After a few years, when I think back to my current state of mind, I will laugh lightly."
"Uncle Liang Ting, you are so nice, it's my fault..."
Liang Ting looked at her tenderly, and said helplessly, "I still made you cry."
He raised his hand slightly, trying to wipe away her tears, but his hand fell in the air, and he pulled it back.
"There's nothing wrong with liking someone, and there's nothing wrong with not liking someone, Xiao Yan." His voice was slightly bitter: "If you feel guilty towards me, it will make me sadder than killing me, you know."
Lu Yan shook her head vigorously: "No, I don't feel guilty anymore, thank you, Liang Ting, thank you for liking me."
Like me who is so bad.
The corners of Liang Ting's mouth slightly pursed: "I've finished what I want to say, go back, don't let them see it."
Lu Yan quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and walked slowly towards the carriage.
Behind him, Ye Jiaqi threw the cigarette butt in his hand out of the window, and sneered, "It's so touching, she didn't cry when I confessed my love."
Liang Ting turned around and glanced at him: "Bastard."
"You just know."
Liang Ting didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he turned to leave. Ye Jiaqi suddenly said, "Lu Yan doesn't belong to this world. Have you ever thought about where Lu Yan would go if Lu Zhen and Jian Yao really gave birth to another Lu Yan?"
Liang Ting's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he murmured: "Absurd..."
The corner of Ye Jiaqi's mouth slightly raised: "Whether it's absurd or you don't want to face it, this is a paradox. It is impossible for two Lu Yans to exist at the same time in the world. She will leave sooner or later."
Liang Ting turned around and looked at him: "So what does this have to do with you?"
"What I can't get, you can't get it, and Shen Kuo can't get it either." Ye Jiaqi smiled deeper: "Thinking of this, I feel relieved, don't I?"
