Chapter 89 Cause and Effect
Once a boy grows up, he is said to be gone.
That’s right. After breakfast the next day, Luo Yang sent his father to his third uncle’s house to get the car. Before leaving, he told Gu Honglan that he would not be back for lunch or dinner.
Luo Jianguo is also busy. For people working in engineering projects, New Year's Day is never a holiday, only when it rains or snows.
Originally, Luo Yang didn't need to get up so early because Jiang Fan wouldn't go out in the morning.
It was Zhou Zhe who called him early in the morning and asked him to have lunch together at noon.
The two had a good relationship in high school, including the night when Luo Yang had a car accident, it was Zhou Zhe who drove him back to the hotel.
In 10, there was no Starbucks in Yang City, so Zhou Zhe planned to meet at Shangdao Coffee.
"Habits haven't changed, have they?"
Zhou Zhe called the waiter in the booth: "Waiter, give me a cup of mocha."
"It's so early in the morning. Can't we talk about it in the afternoon?"
Luo Yang said with resentment: "It's rare for me to sleep in, but you called me just after eight o'clock."
"Tsk, when you were in school, didn't you sleep in on weekends?"
"I'm working part-time, so how can I have time to sleep in?"
After sitting down, Luo Yang took out his Double Happiness cigarette and asked, "Want one?"
Zhou Zhe didn't think the cigarettes were bad, and smoked one: "Isn't 3000 a month's living expenses enough?"
“I’m not the only one who needs money.”
Luo Yang waved his hand: "The expenses are too high, you don't understand."
Zhou Zhe sneered, "I don't understand? Don't you know what Jiang Fan's family conditions are like? Forget 3000, even 10000 a month is not enough for them to spend."
"Yeah. 10000 a month is not enough."
Luo Yang almost let the cat out of the bag, and quickly explained: "Jiang Fan is considerate of me. He wants to go to Songjiang every week. I can't persuade him to stop!"
Zhou Zhe's mouth twitched and he didn't want to talk to Luo Yang for a moment.
"Do you have a girlfriend at school?"
While smoking, Luo Yang said jokingly: "Pengcheng is close to Shandong Province. Many girls from there study in your medical school. Tsk tsk. They are all girls with legs longer than their lives. You are so lucky."
"I will definitely work in my hometown hospital in the future. How can I possibly date a girl from Shandong Province?"
Zhou Zhe exhaled lightly from his cigarette, flicked the ash casually and said, "Instead of breaking up at graduation and being miserable, it's better not to talk about it!"
"Why break up?"
Luo Yang said nonchalantly: "If the relationship is good, can't you just bring her back?"
"You know nothing!"
Zhou Zhe retorted, "Marriage is a combination of two families' resources. I want to go back to my hometown to develop and marry a girl from Shandong Province. Her family's connections can't help me, and my connections can't help her family either. Do you think this kind of marriage combination will make the new family better and better?"
Wow, the world is sober now!
Luo Yang looked at Zhou Zhe in surprise. His high school classmate had changed a lot after going to college.
The two of them fell silent for a moment, and just then the waiter came over with coffee, and after a busy moment they resumed their conversation.
"What do you want to talk to me about? Can you tell me now?"
After adding milk, coffee maker and two sugar cubes, Luo Yang gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon.
"I heard that your family was having some troubles, and I wanted to ask if you wanted some help or something."
Zhou Zhe shrugged and said, "I didn't expect you to take a part-time job in the Magic City. There's no point in me saying anything more."
"Can you introduce me to a job?"
Luo Yang seemed to be thinking about something, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, but I'm fine now."
"what?"
Zhou Zhe frowned: "What do you mean it's all right, have your family issues been resolved?"
"Ok!"
Luo Yang looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Fan knew about it, so she gave some of Yuanfan Group's sporadic maintenance projects to my old man. It's worth one or two million a year, and if he takes on some more work outside, he's already recovered."
Zhou Zhe fell into silence.
"?"
Luo Yang took a sip of coffee and put down the cup before noticing something was wrong with Zhou Zhe: "What's wrong?"
"Can she make the decision on this matter?"
"She can decide!"
Luo Yang also shrugged and said, "But Lao Jiang must have known about it. I'm actually curious as to why Lao Jiang never came forward to say anything."
Zhou Zhe: “.”
He has a relative who runs a seafood business on Tongling Road in Shanghai, and he originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to introduce Luo Yang to work there.
As long as Luo Yang goes, there will be a way to occupy all his free time, so that he will no longer have time to go to Gusu to date Jiang Fan.
Yes, Zhou Zhe also likes Jiang Fan.
There were more than one or two high school boys in their class who liked Jiang Fan, but Zhou Zhe was just more opinionated.
When Luo Yang was the first to confess, everyone thought it was a farce. God knows why he was accepted by Jiang Fan. Zhou Zhe was so regretful. If he had known the result would be like this, why would Luo Yang be the first to confess?
Today, seeing the relationship between the two people getting closer and closer, he has almost given up.
As a result, something happened in Luo Yang's family in the first half of the year, which was a godsend, and his mind became active again.
Who would have thought that after only a few months of being active and putting so much thought into it, in the end a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and my heart suddenly felt very cold.
In the following conversation, he spoke incoherently and showed no interest at all.
They ordered steak for lunch and Luo Yang ate two big pieces.
"Where are you going this afternoon?"
After leaving the door of UBC, Zhou Zhe subconsciously asked Luo Yang: "If you have nothing to do, let's go play billiard?"
"No, I have an appointment with Jiang Fan to go shopping this afternoon." Luo Yang replied honestly.
The two of them were talking as they walked, and without noticing they were walking towards the parking lot together.
"Di!"
"Di!"
At almost the same time, two voices were heard, one from a red Honda with a license plate starting with "Su" and the other from a black Mercedes-Benz E300 with a license plate starting with "Shanghai".
Tired, destroy it!
Luo Yang drove to the InterContinental Hotel, checked into a suite, and sent the room number to Jiang Fan.
After entering the room, he adjusted the air conditioner, took a bottle of mineral water, sat on the sofa, and began to recall the conversation between him and Zhou Zhe in the morning.
I didn't care about it at first, but I couldn't help but think about it carefully.
"No wonder this guy asked me indirectly whether my wife and children had come back for the New Year."
Ten minutes later, Luo Yang figured something out, so he smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: "As for that, if you like her, just fight for her openly. The way she is now is so different from what I remember!"
While Jiang Fan was not there yet, Luo Yang checked his phone and saw a message from Jiang Wen.
He mainly focused on the information related to the sales of Midnight Phantom.
As he expected, total sales exceeded 20 again yesterday.
What made him happiest was not the sales volume of more than 20, but the sales volume of more than ordinary sexy underwear. This meant that Midnight Phantom had begun to attract the attention of the majority of LSPs by launching three popular products in a row some time ago.
"If that's the case, can we only put one new product on the shelves at a time in the future?"
While deleting the information, Luo Yang thought: "It can also save creativity while attracting traffic. Otherwise, if we only have two or three new models at a time, or sometimes a series of sets, they can only last for a week before being copied."
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang, Luo Yang put away his phone, got up and opened the door.
Jiang Fan was more fiery than expected. His emotions had been suppressed since they parted yesterday afternoon, and he rushed straight into the room.
Luo Yang almost couldn't hold on, but fortunately he adjusted his strategy in time and managed to pull back the victory with a roundabout attack.
"Ask you something."
"Ah."
Jiang Fan lay lazily in Luo Yang's arms, speaking in a nasal tone.
"How did you know something happened in my family?"
"Zhou Zhe called me."
After a short silence, Jiang Fan added: "You didn't say it explicitly, but I could hear the hint, so I went to your house to find you. What's wrong?"
"Zhou Zhe invited me to Shangdao Coffee in the morning, and we chatted there for the whole morning."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "He should like you."
“The beholder is clear.”
Jiang Fan hesitated for a while before speaking; "Although I didn't pay attention to him in high school, I heard Sun Qin talk about him."
"Oh, what did you say?"
"I told you not to be angry, okay?"
Jiang Fan knew that Luo Yang had a good relationship with Zhou Zhe in high school, so he was cautious when talking about his friend: "Sun Qin said Zhou Zhe is too realistic!"
“I have a deep understanding of this.”
Luo Yang then told Jiang Fan what Zhou Zhe had said about marriage, and finally sighed, "Maybe this is reality."
“Everyone has a realistic side.”
Jiang Fan raised his head, stroked Luo Yang's cheek with one hand and said, "When school started, you knew something was wrong at home and deliberately avoided me. Is this a reality?"
Luo Yang fell silent for a moment.
"Hehe, when I saw you attending the class reunion during the National Day holiday, I knew you were still reluctant to leave."
Jiang Fan saw Luo Yang's expression and immediately changed the subject: "You even sprayed me with beer on purpose. If I hadn't cooperated with you, you would have been so proud!"
Luo Yang escaped in his previous life because of this reason. Now that Jiang Fan had exposed it, he felt inexplicably panicked.
If the National Day holiday does not come back
He subconsciously hugged the girl in his arms tightly, feeling her presence.
Einstein's theory of relativity applies here. The two of them snuggled together and talked privately. Time slipped away unknowingly, and before they knew it, it was already past four o'clock.
The two went out for dinner together and then rushed to the cinema to watch the latest release of "Avatar".
It was around eleven o'clock in the evening when Luo Yang returned home.
Before going to bed, he sorted out what happened today. As he sorted out the causes and consequences, they gradually became clear.
After he understood everything, he took out his cell phone and looked at it.
There are two unread messages.
"Luo Yang, I'm home. You still have to drive back to the Magic City tomorrow, so go to bed early!"
"Luo Yang, I'm so excited that I can't sleep when I think about you coming back tomorrow morning. I'm rolling around in my bed. You're such a waste. Hehe, I won't say any more. Good night!"
Luo Yang edited a text message and replied to Jiang Fan: "It's past the time for beauty sleep, why don't you take care of my Jiang Fan!"
The message in reply to Jiang Wen was: "Fairy, take this stick from me, Old Sun!"
Alas, it is hard to escape from the common customs!
