In the spacious space, various operating systems are placed against the wall on one side.
In front of the bright electronic screen, the man leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Angelica.
His apex moon, his cinnabar mole.
He had imagined countless reunion scenes, but he never thought of this one.
Even if he can't be a lover, he still wants to be a friend, but he doesn't want to be an enemy.
He is not 100% sure that the other party is Bai Zhi, but his heart is unconsciously leaning towards this answer.
Being able to hide in the world for a long time, secretly tampering, and not being caught so far, is indeed in line with Bai Zhi's ability.
If the other party is not Bai Zhi, he can continue to deal with her without distraction.
But if the other party is Bai Zhi... he feels somewhat complicated.
He even had a lot of things he wanted to ask her and say to her.
Where have you been all these years
How are you doing, do you have a sweetheart
Are you getting stronger and more powerful
Did your dream come true
And... why did you turn back and attack the system, against me
He took off his glasses and rubbed the center of his brow in distress.
After a while, he let out a heavy sigh.
He sat up straight, pulled all his thoughts back into place, and faced the complex electronic console in front of him again.
Get a job in his place.
Since he is sitting here now, no matter who the other party is, he has to clean it up.
Even if it is really Bai Zhi, he still has to try to catch her and ask her why.
— I just hope it's not her.
Old Wu thought a little melancholy.
…
Lu Zhiwei's birthday this year was still accompanied by Sang Wanci.
The two wore masks, hats and couple necklaces, went out to watch a private movie, and secretly fell in love.
Heavy traffic, wrapped in silver.
Under the street lights, the shadows form a pair.
Lu Zhiwei held his girlfriend's hand, half of his face was hidden under the scarf, and then he looked at his girlfriend, and the other party did the same, and couldn't help laughing.
"cute."
"Ok?"
"Wan Ci is so cute."
Hearing this, Sang Wanci turned her head and glanced at the passers-by, then pressed her ear, and said softly and in a low voice: "Sister is cute too."
Lu Zhiwei touched the tips of his ears, Yan Yan looked at Meixing.
"Let's go on a less crowded road."
There were too many people, she was embarrassed and afraid that Sang Wanci would be recognized.
Sang Wanci had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Thanks to Lu Sijiao, a little road idiot, Lu Zhiwei has been able to recognize roads at the first level since she was a child, and now she has completely figured out the roads around the community.
Soon she found a path with few people, and took Sang Wanci straight in.
"I've been here before, it's not dangerous, don't worry."
"I can protect Zhiwei even in danger." Sang Wanci said calmly.
Luzhi nodded with a smile.
Sang Wanci held her hand even tighter.
The two walked leisurely, enjoying the rare and comfortable time.
It just snowed not long ago, and I stepped on the path with my feet, one step at a time.
Lu Zhiwei held Sang Wanci's hand, turning her head while walking.
Two pairs of footprints are clearly printed in the snow, close to each other.
Suddenly, she thought of her former self again.
In that loneliness, there is only my own little transparency at any time.
The white light of the street lamp fell on his shoulders, and Lu Zhiwei suddenly felt emotional.
It's been so long...
It turns out that she already has so much warmth...
All this is like God's compensation for her.
"looking at what?"
The gentle voice of his lover came from beside him, Lu Zhiwei came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm looking at our footprints, I feel that time flies, I was still a loner before..."
"Not anymore." Sang Wanci held her hands.
"Well, not now." Lu Zhiwei bent his eyes with a happy expression.
Ending the brief memories, the two continued to go home hand in hand, rocking back and forth like children.
"Wanci, did you have more work this year?"
"Ok."
"Did you take the play?"
"Two films have been accepted this year."
When Lu Zhiwei heard this, she turned around and looked at her: "You're not going to tell me that you're joining the group seamlessly again, and there's no rest time in between, are you?"
Sang Wanci chuckled, her eyes were gentle, she didn't speak, and raised her hand to stroke her face.
The answer is self-evident.
Lu Zhiwei frowned immediately.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Sang Wanci worked so hard to fulfill the agreement with her father, no matter what happened, she would do it.
She has no way to stop her, and the only one who can stop her is Meng Langcheng.
And it was difficult for an outsider like her to see Meng Langcheng.
If she really met her, she would definitely complain to this father, "You want to fulfill your wife's dream so much, and you can do it, so why don't you!".
She doesn't care whether she contradicts her or not, whether it will make her first impression bad.
The most important thing is to let Meng Langcheng stop forcing his daughter to make progress.
There is only one Sang Wanci in the world, what should I do if I get pushed to death!
Seeing her frown, Sang Wanci stroked her delicate eyebrows gently: "It's okay, an actor's job is to film, and I'm completing my job."
Lu Zhiwei looked at her and sighed: "I still say the same thing, take a good rest when it's time to rest, do you understand?"
"I know." Sang Wanci responded very well.
Lu Zhiwei patted her head in satisfaction, then supported her shoulders and looked up and down, focusing on the hat and scarf.
"Well, my craft is okay, right?"
Sang Wanci chuckled: "Yes, the baby is the best at crafting."
Lu Zhiwei said again: "By the way, I knitted the bluetooth earphone case myself, and I'll give it to you when you come back. Go, go home, and I'll show it to you."
Sang Wanci nodded: "Okay."
"Ah, yes, it will be Xiaoying's child's birthday in a while. I prepared a little gift for her. Please help me see if it's okay."
"Yeah. But Zhiwei, today is your birthday, so I should help you celebrate your birthday first."
"It's my birthday. As long as you are with me, no matter what I do, I will be happy. Isn't it the meaning of birthday to make birthday stars happy?"
Sang Wanci smiled softly upon hearing this.
"What my Zhiwei said is correct."
Her Zhiwei is always so easy to be satisfied and always so kind.
Her knowledge is really good.
…
Meng Lianyu occasionally went back to live in Meng's house, bickering with Meng Langcheng, telling him not to be so lonely and rigid.
But Meng Langcheng was always right to deny it.
Meng Lianyu knew that he just wanted to save face and suffer.
Meng Lianyu persuaded him more than once to let go of herself and her children.
But once a person has an obsession, it is difficult to let go.
He is exactly that.
In fact, he doesn't even know what to do now...
Meng Lianyu didn't know what he was thinking, she felt that he had the common faults of his parents.
—I can’t always bow down to my children easily.
Many parents seem to think that in the eyes of their children, they should be the sky, the earth, the guiding lights of their children's lives, and they can't do without them.
Apologizing to children is like a loss of dignity in their hearts, and it is a shame.
But the times are changing with each passing day, so how can there be any truth that remains the same and applies forever
Children should listen to their parents, and parents should also learn to listen to their children, and apologize to their children openly when they make mistakes.
Children are not necessarily wrong, and parents are not necessarily right.
People can not escape from doing wrong
Their father sometimes committed this kind of problem, and she suspected that it was hereditary.
Fortunately, she is not married and has no children.
Today she passed Meng Langcheng's study again.
The door was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap.
Looking through the crack, she happened to be able to see Meng Langcheng standing silently in front of the window, with a tablet on the table.
She couldn't see what was playing on the tablet, but could only vaguely hear a few key words "Golden Autumn Awards", "Heroine", and "Sang Wanci".
Meng Lianyu raised her eyebrows, just stopped in her tracks, and eavesdropped openly.
After a while, the video changed, it seemed to be a variety show by Sang Wanci's former friend.
Meng Lianyu heard it intermittently, not very coherently.
But she could still guess which passage it was.
It was what Sang Wanci said to Lu Zhiwei before playing the piano.
—She used to like the piano very much, but now she doesn't like it as much as before.
Meng Lianyu slightly pushed the door open.
Meng Langcheng stood motionless in front of the window.
There were clearly sounds in the room, but there was only silence surrounding him.
He obviously misses his daughter very much...
It's this neck that's damn hard!
Normally, Meng Lianyu would open the door and laugh loudly at him for sneaking around while watching a daughter's variety show, but now she doesn't want to do that.
The door was gently closed, and there was a gentle breeze, as if no one had stayed here.
…
A few days after celebrating his birthday, Lu Zhiwei returned to Shengyue company, just in time for Xingyi Group's inspection work.
This was Xingyi's first inspection after Shengyue was acquired.
And the person who came this time was extraordinary, it was Meng Langcheng.
After hearing Wen Yao say these three words, Lu Zhiwei was shocked into an emoji.
Chairman Mengda actually came to inspect it in person? ?
Wen Yao poked her secretly: "Miss Zhiwei, Director Meng won't... did he come to see you specially
"He knows about you and Teacher Sang?"
Lu Zhiwei shook his head.
She was sure that Meng Langcheng didn't know what was going on between them.
Maybe Meng Langcheng came here this time just to inspect the company's situation.
Wen Yao was talking beside her.
But she didn't have the intention to listen, and looked behind her with a thoughtful expression.
It's just that I don't know...whether the other party is willing to see her.
…
There are two reasons why Meng Langcheng will personally inspect this time.
One is to look at the company's situation last year and see if it can really help Xingyi expand its territory.
The second is because of his daughter, this is the company his daughter chose.
Fortunately, Shengyue's development momentum is good, and the company also discovered several potential artists last year.
The best-developed artist in the company is Lu Zhiwei, a friend protected by his daughter.
He still remembers how his daughter asked him for a capital injection for a friend.
Thinking of this, he suddenly longed to meet this Lu Zhiwei.
Just at this time, his secretary came over and asked in a low voice: "Meng Dong, there is a man named Lu Zhiwei who wants to see you, do you want to see?"
Meng Langcheng raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.
"Bring her to the conference room."
…
Lu Zhiwei is wearing a lady's suit today, with her long hair combed into a high ponytail, quite imposing and energetic.
She pulled down the hem of her clothes, smoothed her collar, took a deep breath, and followed Meng Langcheng's secretary to the conference room.
The secretary knocked on the door to signal.
Opening the door, Lu Zhiwei walked in after the secretary.
As soon as he raised his eyes, a man with handsome and elegant eyebrows suddenly jumped into his eyes.
This is the first time Lu Zhiwei sees Meng Langcheng alive.
Although he is middle-aged, his appearance is still clear and graceful, and his bearing is extraordinary.
The hair is very thick, and the figure is not out of shape, not at all inferior to the current Xiao Xianrou.
Lu Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this family is indeed the pride of the beauty group...
The secretary took the man and went out.
In the big and bright meeting room, there were only the two of them left.
The two people who have the closest relationship with Sang Wanci.
Meng Langcheng didn't open his mouth, and his eyes fell on Lu Zhiwei with a look of scrutiny.
Sang Wanci gets close to this friend.
This friend also cooks and makes dumplings for Sang Wanci. Let her have a serious meal.
And this friend... plays the violin indescribably.
Lu Zhiwei had to admit that staying with a giant in the industry like Meng Langcheng was really difficult.
Even if people like them don't speak, they can still make people feel a coercion.
But she had no choice, for Sang Wanci, she had to see Meng Langcheng.
No matter whether Meng Langcheng took her words seriously or not, she would say them.
Trying and doing nothing are two different things.
"Hi Dong Meng, I'm Lu Zhiwei."
She plucked up the courage to introduce herself, and then began to rehearse Meng Langcheng's next words in her mind.
Director Meng, who manages so many things every day, should say that he doesn't know her, so she can say that she is an artist of this company and a friend of Sang Wanci.
— Well, that's all.
As a result, Meng Lang said, "I know you."
Lu Zhiwei: "?"
Meng Langcheng: "You are Sheng Yue's entertainer and also my daughter's friend."
Lu Zhiwei: "???"
Damn, how did he know my lines
Please remove the monitoring in my mind immediately!
"Miss Lu, please sit down."
"Oh, ok... Mr. Meng, sit down."
Lu Zhiwei casually found the seat at hand and sat down.
Meng Langcheng naturally sat at the chair of the meeting closest to him.
There was a large distance between the two.
Lu Zhiwei sighed in his heart while sitting: It seems not so fierce...
She thought that Meng Langcheng would make her "stand for punishment" until she finished speaking.
After sitting down, Meng Langcheng's tone was naturally calm: "Miss Lu, thank you very much for bringing my family Wanci to have a good meal."
"?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiwei, who started the scene, quickly waved his hands: "Meng Dong is too polite, this is what I should do!"
She was a little surprised.
Meng Langcheng didn't seem to be a person who was indifferent to his daughter.
How did you become so stubborn in front of your daughter...
Hey, forget it, as long as he has a daughter in his heart, it will be easy to talk!
Meng Langcheng said: "In order to thank Miss Lu, I will ask the company to arrange resources for you."
Lu Zhiwei was taken aback by this sudden arrogance.
She blinked, her thoughts changed, and she immediately said: "Compared with this, I hope Meng Dong can promise me one thing, can you?"
Meng Langcheng didn't change his face: "You can talk about it."
Lu Zhiwei clasped his hands nervously, cheering himself up while thinking about Sang Wanci.
Two seconds later, she looked at Meng Langcheng resolutely.
"Meng Dong, I would like to ask you to cancel the agreement with Wan Ci."
When the words fell to the ground, the calmness on Meng Langcheng's face finally showed a trace of stupefaction.
He didn't expect Lu Zhiwei to know about this.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising.
Sang Wanci was able to get her father to inject capital for her to go home, so the relationship between the two must be good enough to talk about everything.
Lu Zhiwei saw Meng Langcheng change his posture, crossing his legs and crossing his fingers.
There was no anger on his face, but his tone was a little cold: "Miss Lu, this is our family business."
"Meng Dong, I know this is your family matter," Lu Zhiwei said, "But as Wan Ci's friend, as an actor, I can't sit idly by and let her agree to such an unreasonable agreement."
"Tube?"
The corners of Meng Langcheng's lips were raised slightly, but his tone was still cold.
"Really, then what are you going to do?"
Lu Zhiwei couldn't help but swallowed nervously.
Meng Langcheng's appearance was too frightening.
It was as if as long as she dared to continue talking, he could make her regret being born in this world.
To be honest, at this time, anyone would retreat in their hearts.
But she couldn't, thinking of how Sang Wanci had been forcing herself to break through and exhaust herself, she immediately broke the drum stick in her heart.
— No, you are not allowed to withdraw, Lu Zhiwei, you will not be able to withdraw from anyone! ! !
"Just like it is now," Lu Zhiwei raised his head slightly, "sit here and ask you to cancel the agreement.
"Meng Dong, I believe you have this daughter in your heart, and you also have a heart to hope that the child will get better and better, otherwise you wouldn't thank me just because I cooked a few meals for her.
"So I hope you can face up to Wan Ci's appeal, face up to Wan Ci's choice, ask her what she really wants, and stop imposing your ideas on her.
"He is your child, not your appendage!"
Meng Langcheng looked annoyed: "Lu Zhiwei, I hope you haven't forgotten that Sheng Yue is Xingyi now."
The lethality of combining first and last names really applies to every place.
Even so, she didn't hesitate, and said with piercing eyes: "You can call me by name, scold me, even if you want to hide me, these are nothing compared to making Wanci suffer. Say it all!"
After saying this passage, she seemed to have suddenly possessed infinite courage, and she was no longer afraid of Meng Langcheng's every cold expression.
She wants to say, she wants to say!
If he doesn't listen, she will talk too!
"Meng Dong, you have made great achievements in your work, every decision is extremely wise, and you are indeed unstoppable, but this does not mean that you can be a good father!
"You love Mrs. Meng, you want to fulfill her musical dream, so you force this dream on Wan Ci without authorization.
"Why? Could it be that in your heart, the dreams of daughters and wives are divided into equals? Wan Ci's dream is not worth mentioning, but Mrs. Meng's dream is incomparably noble?"
"Snapped!"
Meng Langcheng shot the case.
He didn't think about it that way, and he didn't allow others to talk nonsense!
Lu Zhiwei also stood up emotionally: "Wanci is your daughter, the flesh on the palm of your hand, and a living, flesh-and-blood, thoughtful person!
"You can't put someone else's dream on your child.
"Do you know that she used to suffer because of you, and feel inferior because of her excellent and perfect parents!"
Hearing these words, Meng Langcheng was stunned, and his eyes flashed with astonishment.
how come…
His daughter is the best person in the world, how could she feel inferior...
Lu Zhiwei calmed down slightly, but his words were still clear: "Meng Dong, in Wan Ci's heart, you and Mrs. Meng are the best people in the world, and she thinks you are omnipotent.
"And in order to force her to become a world-class pianist as soon as possible, you always said that she didn't do enough, so she began to doubt herself, even filming subconsciously forced herself to break through, endlessly consuming herself—just to seek your approval!
"Isn't this your fault?!"
The more Lu Zhiwei spoke, the more excited he became, and the anger surged up again.
Why do parents force their children like this
Or simply ignore the child, what do they think of the child!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she yelled recklessly: "Meng Langcheng, you are so capable, why don't you become a world-class pianist yourself, what's the point of forcing your daughter!!!"
"you!"
Meng Langcheng was angry and speechless.
Both of them were flushed red with anger from each other.
But Lu Zhiwei still didn't forget to put an end to it, she bowed deeply to Meng Langcheng: "You have made my request clear, and I have made it clear what I want to say, please think about it, Director Meng, and leave .”
She turned and walked away with the wind on her feet.
Secretary Meng Langcheng saw her angrily pushing open the door and passing him by.
He looked at her back: "..."
Should I remind her that she walks with the same hands and feet...
Forget it, Meng Dong is important.
[Same hands and feet.]
Old Wu said abruptly.
Only then did Lu Zhiwei hastily correct it, and then dodged into the empty stairwell, squatting down to cover his beating heart.
Thinking of Meng Langcheng's appearance, she still has lingering fears.
"too terrifying…
"I'm really screwed now..."
Lao Wu couldn't help laughing: [You scolded so hard just now, I thought you weren't afraid.]
Lu Zhiwei had a painful expression on his face: "Afraid of death, okay! If this were placed in ancient times, it would be a remonstrance to death, and it must be the kind of Zhu Jiuzu!"
Old Wu said: [Then you see Sang Wanci's father as a fool.]
Hearing this, Lu Zhiwei's complexion gradually softened, and he sat on the stairs holding his face: "Actually... it's not good."
She could feel Meng Langcheng's fatherly love for Sang Wanci.
But she is an outsider who doesn't know Meng Langcheng, and she doesn't know whether this love is deeper or her obsession with fulfilling his wife's dream is deeper.
"Humans are really complicated animals, and they will never be able to figure it out..."
Old Wu recognized this sentence, and sighed: [You are right...]
It seems to have a story.
Lu Zhiwei asked, "What's wrong?"
Old Wu was disappointed: [I'll tell you something, don't be scared.]
Lu Zhiwei: "...I'm mentally prepared, you can tell me."
Old Wu: [Do you still remember Bai Zhi?]
Lu Zhiwei: "Remember, your sweetheart is a very powerful person."
Lao Wu sighed deeply and smiled wryly: [I now suspect that the intruder is her.]
Lu Zhiwei: "???"
[I can't believe it either, but many traces are too similar to her previous handwriting...]
He and Bai Zhi are the best friends in the system.
He likes her, admires her, and understands her, so he naturally recognizes her acting style.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would take hundreds of years to guess her.
Lu Zhiwei: "..."
"I" kills "me" myself, why is it still the person I like
It seemed that her male mother was as miserable as he was.
"It's okay," Lu Zhiwei reassured him, "Thinking about the good, maybe it's not? Maybe someone is imitating her behavior style to confuse the public? Right
"In short, before seeing her in person, there is no need to make a conclusion so early."
When Lao Wu heard this, he cheered up again: [You are right.]
Lu Zhiwei saw that the comfort had arrived, patted his clothes and stood up: "Okay, I should go back and pack my things."
Old Wu: [What are you packing up for?]
Lu Zhi smiled slightly, seeing death as home.
"Waiting to be sent home to farm by the Holy One."
