Jiang Qihuai didn't expect Lu Jiaheng to give him any strange tricks, according to what Cheng Yi said before, his own little lover was cheated by his shamelessness back then.
Jiang Qihuai glanced at him, lacking in interest: "I can't believe you."
"..."
The next sentence that Lu Jiaheng was about to blurt out was blocked in his throat.
"No, why are you so reticent," Lu Jiaheng said, "Based on your nonchalant personality, when you let people realize that you really like her, they might have already slept with that guy outside. Double flight."
He stretched his neck, wondering: "You said you haven't left her a word or anything after you've been away for so many years?"
Jiang Qihuai: "No."
"Didn't you call or send someone a text message?"
"Um."
Lu Jiaheng was choked by him: "Then why are you so sure that the little girl is still single when you come back? You should at least leave her a message and ask her to wait for you."
Jiang Qihuai turned his head away.
Through Guxiu's carved wooden window, he looked outside. Tao Zhi and Jiang Hesheng picked up their coats and got up and left. The girl's scarf was half-wrapped, her tail was hanging behind her back. Jiang Hesheng raised his hand and dragged her scarf around to her Come.
Tao Zhi smiled and said something to him, then tucked the scarf away.
The doorbell jingled, and the two walked out of the teahouse talking and laughing.
The person disappeared from sight for a long time before he withdrew his eyes and lowered his eyes, his eyes lowered: "I don't want to hang her up."
Lu Jiaheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say to him for a while, he was dumb for a while, and sighed: "Why are you so brainless."
Jiang Qihuai didn't want to tie her up, when he didn't have confidence in when he could break free, when he didn't know how many years it would take, he couldn't say anything to ask her to wait for him.
She is so good, why should he make her wait.
He doesn't deserve to be waited on.
Jiang Qihuai never had the idea of making Tao Zhi stop and wait for him, she just walked her way, and he would try to catch up.
If he can, he will never let go. In case he is really late, she meets another person who is worthy of her entrustment for the rest of her life. That is his life, the price he should pay for the decisions he has made.
He accepts any outcome without complaint.
There is no regret or regret, he was originally not worthy of her, and he clearly understood this from the beginning, but he still couldn't help but selfishly want to have her even for a short while. He once approached her recklessly, until the reality revealed his darkness to pieces, and magnified his unbearableness clearly before his eyes.
Although Tao Xiuping didn't object directly, he showed him bit by bit the beauty of her past. What made him give up was never obstructed by others, but the once brilliant rose, which was almost in his hands. withered.
The half a year with her was already a great gift to him. In that short and fleeting time, the days were so beautiful that every day seemed to be stolen from someone else.
He shouldn't have asked for more.
I only wish that you, whom I love, will be well every year, free from disease and worry. I only wish that you, whom I love, can find your own sun, and the road ahead will shine brightly.
And the person who gives you happiness doesn't have to be me.
If she was a god, he would be willing to crawl in the shadow under the altar and be the most devout believer.
But people will have greed.
Believers are no exception.
Once the weekend is over, life gets busy again.
Tao Zhi's job does not have weekends. She gave herself two days off and went to the studio on time at ten o'clock on Monday morning.
After graduating, Tao Zhi set up a studio with a photography senior whom he met in college. It opened in an art park next to the second ring road in Beicheng District. Individually, they are all high-level players.
When Tao Zhi arrived, everyone was busy. Those who were on location were out on location, and those who were doing post-production were busy editing pictures in front of the computer. Xiao Jin arrived at eight o'clock in the morning. When she saw her coming, she ran up to hand it over. Had a cup of coffee.
Tao Zhi took it over and said thank you, took off his coat and sat down in front of the computer to turn it on.
Xu Suinian walked over holding a cup of tea like a Buddha, and said slowly: "Morning, Boss Tao, you have to work early in the morning."
Tao Zhi glanced at the time and reminded him: "It's ten o'clock."
"It's not that I'm idle and fine. I had an appointment with you, Brother Gu, to go to Iceland. Last night, I suddenly called me to say that I had acute appendicitis and needed an operation, so I blew it too," Xu Suinian said casually, "For I even pushed for next week’s exhibition, and I haven’t prepared anything, and it’s too late to sign up, so I’ll be free.”
"By the way," Xu Suinian paused, and asked her, "Did Thurse contact you?"
"No," Tao Zhi glanced at him, "What happened to her?"
Anse Se and Tao Zhi met in the photography club when they were in college. This person is a fanatical star-chaser station sister. She only learned photography to better capture her brother's prosperous beauty. She works as a freelance photographer to accept major magazines. The outsourced odd jobs of the Shehe Street shoot official account, and continue to chase her brother when she has enough money.
Xu Suinian said vaguely: "Well...it's nothing, you might find out later."
Ten minutes later, Tao Zhi did receive a call from An Sesu.
As soon as he picked it up, Ansesu became anxious: "Zhizhi!!! God Zhizhi! Help the world!!!"
Tao Zhi: "Ten sheets, three thousand, twenty sheets, five thousand, including post-processing color correction, I'm paying for your friendship, don't bargain."
"You know money every day!" Ansesu spurned her, "Is money as important as a handsome guy! Those who didn't know thought you couldn't afford to eat when you were young."
"My dad said that those who want to make money must first be greedy for money." Tao Zhi said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you everything I give you. I just took over the outsourcing of a financial magazine a few days ago, but my brother's schedule has changed, and I have to go to the airport now!" An Sesel said, "Sisters help Help, good people will live a safe life."
Tao Zhi frowned, feeling a little troublesome: "But I don't want to go to the airport crowded with people."
"Who asked you to squeeze, of course I want to see my brother with my own eyes! I'm talking about outsourced work."
Tao Zhi leaned back in the chair and said in a drawling tone, "Ah, I'm so tired and weak recently, I don't want to work."
"Plus a box of the latest Lego Street View series," said Ansel.
Tao Zhi straightened up from the chair with a thump, and simply said: "Deal, send me the address on WeChat."
Ansesu: "..."
An Sesu moved quickly, and sent her the address as soon as she hung up the phone, with a cute face on the back: two o'clock in the afternoon, I love you.
[Zhizhi Grape]: What kind of character, it needs to be outsourced, just find a photographer in the magazine office and take a couple of photos.
[An Sesel]: What is the youngest investment director in the history of Ruisheng, who was dug back from abroad at a high price, pay attention to it, I only went online under the banner of our studio, people in the financial circle are stupid and have a lot of money, anyway, give money It's dad.
[Ansesu]: I still have his information here, he is a very handsome pot.
Ansesu said, and directly sent a link to the webpage.
Tao Zhi didn't click on it, and only sent a voice message: "Handsome guy, if you don't go, you are taking advantage of me?"
Ansesu also returned a voice message, with a serious voice: "I am loyal to my brother wholeheartedly."
When Tao Zhi navigated to the office building according to the address, she got out of the car and looked up. The reflective glass reflected the glare of the sunlight. There was a large and simple sign on the top of the building, which said "Ruisheng Investment" four characters.
She closed the car door and walked over. There was a girl standing at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, looking around.
After Tao Zhi walked over, the little girl saw her big equipment bag and asked uncertainly, "Miss Ansesu?"
Tao Zhi didn't bother to explain the situation, so he nodded directly.
The girl smiled politely: "I'm an employee of "Tomorrow Finance and Economics". You can call me Xiao Wen. If you don't have a work certificate, you can't get in this building. I'll come down to pick you up."
Tao Zhi looked at the work card hanging on her chest, Wen Mingyue.
She turned her head to the side: "Aren't you going to your magazine?"
"Because I want to shoot the most realistic working status effect directly, I specially discussed with Ruisheng to shoot directly at their workplace," Wen Mingyue said to her in a low voice, "Originally, our editor-in-chief wanted a few more life photos Yes, but was rejected by the director, saying that he did not want photos of his private life to be photographed, and even this column was discussed for a long time before it was settled."
Tao Zhi said "Oh".
You are still a lone wolf, so low-key, why do you still appear in financial magazines
Wen Mingyue led her into the elevator, and pressed the floor. Tao Zhi had never been to an investment company before, so looking at it this way, she turned out to be a lot of people than she imagined. Almost everyone has two or three computers on their desks. Fund managers can't wait to grow two hands, one pair to answer the phone and take notes, and the other pair to type on the keyboard.
At the desk near the window, Tao Zhi saw an acquaintance.
Lin Suyan was looking at her, he was talking to someone with the phone in one hand, he seemed a little surprised when he saw her, he waved to her from the air, and then continued to make calls.
Tao Zhi blinked at him, and followed Wen Mingyue to the innermost office. The huge frosted glass window blocked the sight of outsiders. He probably had already greeted him in advance. Wen Mingyue called the secretary at the door Greeting, the secretary opened the door.
Tao Zhi walked in.
The huge office is spacious and bright, completely different from the narrow and busy outside. It is decorated in a very modern and simple style. The sunlight falls on the dark carpet through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There are two rows of huge black and gold bookshelves behind the desk. On the coffee table There are two books randomly placed, and an empty teacup next to it.
No one was in the house.
Tao Zhi put the bag in his hand on the coffee table, took out the camera and slowly installed the lens.
All the accessories were assembled, and there was no sign of Director Jingui.
Tao Zhi glanced at the time, there were three minutes left.
She leaned back on the sofa and glanced around casually in boredom, her eyes fell on the black wooden desk, on which there was a nameplate, followed by a colon and three big characters: Jiang Qihuai.
"..."
Tao Zhi: ...
She paused for a breath, staring at those three words over and over again.
Looking at her from such a distance, as if he was still not sure, Tao Zhi put the camera on the sofa, stood up and walked over, put his hands on the edge of the table, bent down and looked at the nameplate with his whole face.
Just as she picked up the name tag, there was an abrupt "click" of the bathroom door in the office. Tao Zhi shrank her neck in fright and turned around.
Jiang Qihuai walked over with a tissue in his hand, he wiped off the water stains on his fingers one by one, and then raised his head.
Looking at him, Tao Zhi still kept holding his dead sign, staring at him blankly.
Jiang Qihuai raised his eyebrows: "An Sesu?"
Tao Zhi looked at him dully: "Huh?"
"what… "
Jiang Qihuai threw the wet tissue in his hands into the trash can, walked to her side, looked down at the things in her hand: "I'll give it to you if you like it."
Tao Zhi put down the sign, closed his mouth, straightened up, and said dryly, "Director Sea Turtle?"
"Quasimodo?"
"The two-hundred-pound boxing champion?"
"...?"
Jiang Qihuai tilted his head, his expressionless face was full of calm doubts: "Who are you talking about?"
"I said that the lone wolf who had to pretend to be low-key even though he was going to be interviewed by a financial magazine." Tao Zhi said angrily.
Although he didn't know what it meant, Jiang Qihuai was always willing to continue with the persona she set up for him, so he nodded: "So, your stage name is Ansesu?"
"Stage name shit, I came here for my friend." Tao Zhi turned around with a serious face, walked to the sofa and picked up the camera.
She didn't know why she suddenly became inexplicably irritable, and now she regretted helping Ansesu so much, even if she gave her ten boxes of Street View series Lego for nothing, it would be a blood loss.
She sat back on the sofa again and turned her head: "Come here."
Jiang Qihuai walked over.
Tao Zhi raised the camera and pointed to the leather sofa opposite him: "Sit down."
Jiang Qihuai sat down opposite her.
He has broad shoulders and long legs, and his figure looks even better when he wears formal clothes. Tao Zhi was an intern in a fashion magazine during college, and he has photographed too many male models, but looking through the camera, she felt that Jiang Qihuai was photographed by her One of the most photogenic of all the men.
It was as if she had seen so many men over the years, but still felt that no one could compare to him.
This realization made Tao Zhi suddenly more depressed.
She poked her head out of the camera and said blankly, "Why are you just sitting there? Read a book."
Jiang Qihuai obediently bent over and picked up a financial magazine from the coffee table and opened it to read.
He lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips curled down casually, and his long legs were folded and stretched forward, making him look like a dog.
Tao Zhi found a few angles to take a few photos, looked at the camera screen, nodded, and ordered him: "Go and sit behind the desk."
Jiang Qihuai looked up at her, closed the magazine and put it down, walked behind the desk, and sat in the chair.
His well-behaved state of allowing her to manipulate him at will made Tao Zhi feel a little more comfortable. She got up and dragged a chair over, knelt on one knee on the chair, and bent down to find an angle.
In all fairness, Jiang Qihuai is a very competent model, he doesn't talk much, and he is very cooperative, he can do whatever he is asked to do, without saying a word of nonsense.
Tao Zhi slowly entered the state while instructing him to do various things. She was very serious when she was working, her long hair was tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head, revealing the beautiful lines of her side face, fair ears, and red lips. Squeezing lightly, her dark black eyes focused only on the picture in the camera.
Jiang Qihuai leaned back in the chair, holding a pen in his hand, staring straight at her, not taking half an inch away from her.
She tilted her head to capture the last shot: "Okay, it's almost there."
Jiang Qihuai sat on the chair without moving: "Is the filming over?"
"Yeah," then took the camera and flipped through the previous ones, "I'll go back and pick and choose, post-processing and send it directly to the magazine."
Jiang Qihuai was a little bit unsatisfied.
He didn't really want to just let her go. He recalled what his assistant had said to him before, and asked softly, "When will you come to take pictures of my life?"
Tao Zhi flicked through the photos for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at him strangely: "You don't want to be photographed of your private life outside of work, so you refuse?"
Jiang Qihuai nodded, with a flat expression: "I didn't want to."
He put down the pen in his hand, looked at her and said, "Because I didn't expect the photographer to be you."
