Zhu Zixuan wore a thin grey base shirt, tight jeans, a knee-length plaid wool coat, pointed thick-heeled leather short boots, and a light-colored plush scarf around her neck. Her tall stature, beautiful face, and bright temperament made her look fashionable and elegant, which is only found in the northern winter. The woman who used to be willful and capricious and always looked at the world with underlined eyes seemed to have disappeared in the distant memory. She stood there quietly, as meaningful as a love poem written in small regular script, which made people's eyes bright!
"Why are you here?"
There was deep surprise in Zhu Zixuan's eyes. She shook hands with Wen Liang in a reserved but formal manner. If it were in the past, she might have kicked him.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I came to see a friend to do something small, what about you?"
"What a coincidence. I'm here to see a friend as well." Zhu Zixuan pointed to the door and asked, "Together?"
Wen Liang naturally had no objection, he leaned aside like a gentleman and said, "Please!"
The two followed the crowd and walked out the door side by side. There was silence for a while. Wen Liang spoke first and asked, "I heard that Xiangxieju opened a second store in Tianjin?"
Zhu Zixuan nodded and said, "It has just opened not long ago, but the scale is much larger than that in Beijing, and the decoration is much better. If you have time to go to Tianjin, you can go to visit it and give more valuable suggestions."
"The prosperity of Xiangxieju is all thanks to you. There is no need for an outsider like me to embarrass myself!" Wen Liang waved his hand and said, "How is the business in Tianjin
"With Baidu looking after us and my friends supporting us, our business is still going well!"
"It's developing very fast. Is the third company going to Hujiang?" Wen Liang wanted to make a joke, saying that you are going from north to south, conquering cities and territories, and want to unify the world? However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Times have changed, so it's better to be careful with your words.
Zhu Zixuan turned her head slightly, her bright eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep across Wen Liang's cheek, then she lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation, I may not have time to worry about Xiangxieju's affairs..."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
"My dad found me a job..."
"Is that so?" Since it was Zhu Jiusi's arrangement, Wen Liang didn't say much and joked, "I thought you really liked playing in Xiangxieju..."
Zhu Zixuan smiled and did not answer the question. As Wen Liang said, Xiangxieju was the first time in her short life that she had worked so hard on something, and it was very successful. Whenever she sat in the office and looked at everything in the club through the window, the sense of fulfillment and achievement could not be replaced by any material things. But occasionally, in the afternoon with mottled shades of trees, or in the evening with drizzling rain, through the window, she would think of the backs of Wen Liang and Ning Xi hugging each other in the corridor that day, and then her ears would echo the astonishing careers that she had heard from Lei Fang in the past few days. Although they were not very successful, she could get a glimpse of the grand pattern and atmosphere, as well as the infinite possibilities in the future!
Compared with him, I am guarding a tiny Champs Elysées house, like a firefly to the bright moon, yet I am still intoxicated with the insignificant fulfillment and sense of achievement. It is simply ridiculous!
Yes, I like Champs-Elysees very much.
But I don’t like the day when I sit in the courtyard of Champs Elysées and can no longer see your figure in the sky!
Of course Zhu Zixuan would not let Wen Liang know about this, but she had never longed so much for a wider world so that her future would not be trapped in this small world and stagnate.
I don’t ask to fly together in the sky, but I hope to see you in the blue sky!
The two walked through the revolving door and came to the fountain in the middle of the square. It was already dark, and the endless stream of cars dragged the flowing and undulating light, making the capital city in early winter full of splendor and prosperity.
Zhu Zixuan put his hands in his coat pockets, smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me what kind of job I found?"
It must be a very complicated job to make Zhu Jiusi ask about it. Wen Liang took a deep breath, held the white jade railing beside the fountain, and said with a smile: "I'm ready. No matter how shocking it is, just tell the truth!"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. You may not have heard of this joint venture company, which was established last year. It's called Huaxia International Financial Co., Ltd..."
Wen Liang was stunned. It was not that he had never heard of it as Zhu Zixuan said, but that he had heard the name too many times in the future. As the first Sino-foreign joint venture investment bank in the Republic, Huajin Company played a very important role in the Republic's financial market for a long time to come, and for various reasons, it became a popular topic among ordinary people.
"So it's an investment bank. I heard the work is very tiring and requires a professional background. Are you ready?"
Wen Liang expressed his doubts. Although Zhu Zixuan had shown a certain talent for stocks when she was trading stocks at the beginning of the year, and should be a promising talent if she was taught carefully, the work in an investment bank was much more tedious and complicated, and she might not be able to endure the hardship.
"You underestimate me, don't you?" Zhu Zixuan wrinkled her nose playfully and said, "I am a top student at Jiaotong University after all. As long as I am willing to learn, there is nothing I can't learn. Besides, I have a brother who has a good relationship with me in the company. With him guiding me, there shouldn't be any problem!"
Thinking of the person in the gossip of the common people, Wen Liang realized that he was meddling too much. Whether Zhu Zixuan really wanted to make a career or just wanted to gild her reputation, it actually had little to do with him. People like them naturally had someone arrange everything for them, so why did they need outsiders to talk about them
"I made a mistake. Congratulations, Miss Zhu! There may be opportunities to cooperate with your company in the future. When the time comes, please give me a friendly price for our old friend's sake!"
After saying a few more words, Wen Liang asked about Du Niang's recent situation. Knowing that she was now in full charge of Xiangxieju in Tianjin and was deeply trusted and valued by Zhu Zixuan, Wen Liang felt relieved and asked, "Have you driven yet?"
Zhu Zixuan pointed to the left and said, "Well, stop over there."
"It's a coincidence this time," Wen Liang said with a smile, "Mine is on the other side."
Zhu Zixuan also smiled, looked at his watch, and said, "It's getting late. I have something to do later, so I'll leave first. Do you have time to have dinner together?"
"Okay, bye!"
"goodbye!"
The two shook hands again, then turned around and walked along the path paved with black and red square bricks towards the parking lot. After walking more than ten steps, Zhu Zixuan suddenly looked back and saw Wen Liang's tall figure disappear at the entrance of the garage.
In this lifetime, we will never be able to avoid the narrow road encounter
Before I understand things, I fall in love and it won't last more than a day
It turns out that from youth to maturity,
Growing up is just a matter of looking back! (To be continued)
