Chapter 131 The person you least want to see Chapter 131 The person you least want to see
"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't see you clearly because it was too dark." The man strode towards Yan Ling. Because the street lights were far away, he couldn't see his face clearly.
Yan Ling wanted to get angry, but she didn't expect this person to get out of the car to check the situation. She temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, but the left side of her body was almost wet with mud and water. Even if she was angry, she couldn't let it go now. Coming out, Yan Ling said: "It's okay."
The man took out a handkerchief from his trouser bag and wanted to wipe it with Yan Ling. How could such a small handkerchief be wiped clean? Yan Ling waved her hand and said: "No, no need." Come on, just think of yourself as unlucky. .
"Miss's voice sounds familiar. May I ask who you are..." The man was very surprised.
Yan Ling also felt that he looked familiar. When the man came closer, Yan Ling saw clearly that the man opposite was none other than Han Yishan. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him like this.
Yan Ling's intuition told him that he should not have too much involvement with this man. She hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, sir, you must have mistaken the person." She said and rode her bicycle and wanted to leave here quickly, but at this critical moment, the bicycle chain It slipped, and she couldn't pedal anymore. The more anxious she became, the more futile it would be.
Seeing her anxious and flustered look, Han Yishan said hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, don't panic. It's fate that we meet here. I'll take you back."
"No... no need." The bicycle suddenly broke down, and Yan Ling wanted to punch the ground.
Han Yishan saw the problem at a glance. He said: "Your car broke down. If I guessed correctly, your car can be folded up, and my trunk should be able to fit in. I will take you back. Aren't we all friends? , Miss Xu doesn’t need to be nervous or afraid of me.”
In the end, Yan Ling had no choice but to get into Han Yishan's car. She sat in the back seat and kept leaning sideways for fear of getting his car dirty.
"Jin Qiuhai went back to study. Why didn't you go to the imperial capital with him?" Han Yishan's car drove more slowly.
Yan Ling said: "I will follow him to do whatever he goes to school for. I also have my own career."
Han Yishan laughed: "You are right, career...Is Ms. Xu still working in that cosmetics company?"
"right."
"Actually, with your academic qualifications, you can get into a better company. If you have any idea of resigning, you can tell me and I can help you find a way." Han Yishan was very enthusiastic.
But his enthusiasm was met with a very cold response from Yan Ling: "Thank you for your concern. My current job is quite good, and I have no intention of changing companies for the time being."
"Oh, that's just me being sentimental. I didn't expect to meet Miss Xu today. It seems that we are really destined. I'm sorry for staining your clothes. Miss Xu, let's wait until the weekend and let's eat together. Let’s have a meal.” Han Yishan tried hard to get close to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling said: "I'm sorry, I'm not free on the weekend."
"No way, don't you have two weekends off?"
"I'm so busy now. I have to work overtime every day, so I can't even take a break."
Han Yishan smiled and said: "I thought that those in your business would be more relaxed than those like us as doctors, but it seems that's not the case. Miss Xu, did I do something that made Miss Xu misunderstood and offended Miss Xu?"
Yan Ling was slightly surprised, but then she couldn't help but think about it carefully. Actually, it was because Han Yishan was her blind date before. They had two dates but they fell through. The reason why she avoided Han Yishan was because she later got close to Jin Qiuhai. , Jin Qiuhai used to be his colleague, and it was somewhat embarrassing that the relationship was so complicated. It's hard to say that Han Yishan offended her in any way.
"No...no. Don't think too much about it, Dr. Han." Yan Ling denied.
"That's great. I thought I did something wrong to make Miss Xu annoying. Where does Miss Xu live?"
Yan Ling said: "That side of Zijin Avenue."
"Oh, it's not that far."
Yan Ling did not let Han Yishan drive the car into the community. Instead, she got out of the car a block away and walked slowly while pushing the broken bicycle.
After passing an intersection, Yan Ling's figure was no longer visible. Han Yishan's car did not drive away immediately. He calmly lit a cigarette, but couldn't help but put a meaningful smile on his face.
Yan Ling returned home in a very embarrassed state. She quickly got into the bathroom, took off her dirty clothes, and then took a shower.
Yan Ling was very busy in the next few days. She had to finish her work before going on a business trip. On Thursday night, she received a phone call from Chi Zhengrong.
Chi Zhengrong on the other end of the phone looked very excited, maybe he had been drinking.
"Yan Ling, let me tell you, there were nearly 4,000 spectators at last night's concert, and the scene was really lively. They held fluorescent sticks in their hands and waved them along with the rhythm. The chorus during the Gao Chao part almost made me cry. Cried on stage. Yanling, I never thought I would have so many followers."
His joy and excitement infected Yan Ling, who was also happy for him.
"That's great, congratulations."
"Yan Ling, I never thought I could be on such a big stage. It's all because of your encouragement that I can get to where I am today. Thank you. We will go to the Imperial Capital for the next show."
When Yan Ling heard about it, she hurriedly asked: "Imperial Capital? When is the concert scheduled?"
"Sunday night at seven o'clock at the Municipal Stadium."
Yan Ling wrote down these words on a note paper beside her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I wish you a successful performance."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ling thought to herself that if things went well, she might be able to go to his concert. However, the Internet was not developed at this time, and she could not book tickets online. She just hoped that she could buy them smoothly by then. ticket.
Friday soon came, and when it was time to take a flight to the imperial capital, Yan Ling simply packed a small suitcase, bringing two changes of clothes and some personal belongings.
She arrived at the airport first, and Pei Yunchuan arrived half an hour later. Yanling went to the front desk to change her boarding pass. Neither of them has much luggage, and they don’t need to check it in.
After completing the formalities, there was still an hour and a half before departure time. It was already 12:20, which was dinner time. Pei Yunchuan glanced at the time, and he and Yan Ling said, "Let's go, let's go get something to eat first."
Yan Ling dragged her suitcase and followed Pei Yunchuan.
"What do you like to eat?" Pei Yunchuan turned to ask Yan Ling.
Yan Ling said: "As long as it can fill your stomach, anything is fine." This is an airport, not a food city. Not only is it expensive, but there are not many choices.
Pei Yunchuan didn't have much appetite, so he pointed and said, "Just go to the one in front."
Yan Ling nodded and said yes. It was a very ordinary rice noodle shop. As a snack, Yan Ling liked rice noodles very much.

Chapter 132 Business trip Chapter 132 Business trip
The air conditioner on the plane was turned on quite a bit, so Yan Ling took out the coat from the box and added it before fastening her seat belt. Pei Yunchuan next to her was only wearing a black shirt. The shirt had long sleeves, but the top two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the collarbone underneath. He was holding a book and reading at the moment.
Sure enough, men are not afraid of the cold.
"Do you want to sit by the window?" Pei Yunchuan asked.
Yan Ling waved her hand and said, "No, it's fine to sit in the aisle."
"Did you bring formal clothes?" Pei Yunchuan saw that Yanling was wearing gray sports and casual clothes, and he added, "The other party has arranged a reception dinner."
"Dinner? When?" Yan Ling became a little nervous.
"Tomorrow night at six o'clock, we're scheduled to go to some Mingxuan restaurant. I'm afraid your outfit won't work." Pei Yunchuan glanced at Yan Ling.
Yan Ling hurriedly said: "I brought formal clothes." She brought two sets of clothes, a casual sports suit and a suit skirt.
"When you go out to work, you will inevitably socialize, and you should also prepare some decent clothes. After all, going out represents the company's face, and being slightly rude will create a bad impression on the other party. Although these are small things, they cannot be ignored .”
Yan Ling's face was slightly hot, and she said with some embarrassment: "I know." She had saved all her salary except for daily expenses. Although she didn't save much, she still wanted to buy something within a year. We have an apartment, so we are not that particular about dressing up. I usually spend most of my time in the laboratory, wearing a white coat, and dressing for comfort. However, the miscalculation this time was that although she had brought formal clothes, the shoes on her feet were a pair of sneakers. The shoes did not match the clothes. It seemed that she had to buy a pair of shoes now when she arrived.
"Wear more formally. It's best to put on makeup and look more dignified. You have to get rid of your student spirit as soon as possible."
"Yes." Yan Ling's face was burning.
When the plane officially took off, Pei Yunchuan stopped talking to Yan Ling. Yan Ling found that she was a little airsick, especially when the plane ascended with some bumps and weightlessness, she felt very uncomfortable.
Her face turned pale, and Yan Ling felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment. At this time, someone touched her arm. Yan Ling turned around and saw that Pei Yunchuan had unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water and said to her, "You don't look well, drink some water."
Yan Ling said thank you, took it and took a sip. She would feel better after the plane entered the stratosphere.
"I didn't expect you to get airsick." Pei Yunchuan's tone was lighter than usual.
Yan Ling said: "It was just uncomfortable for a while when I climbed up. It's much better now."
"Okay, we'll be there in more than two hours. When we encounter international flights to Europe, the United States, or New Zealand, that will be the test." After Pei Yunchuan said this, he didn't speak again. Not long after, he fell asleep leaning on his seat. .
After the plane landed smoothly, Yan Ling and Pei Yunchuan followed the crowd and got off the plane, then boarded the airport shuttle bus and finally left the terminal.
By the time they took a taxi to the hotel where they checked in, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
The two rooms were next to each other. Yan Ling opened the room where she lived. When she saw the clean and tidy bed, she wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
"At half past six, I'll be waiting for you in the restaurant on the fourth floor. You can take a break."
"Are you meeting anyone important tonight?" Yan Ling was a little worried.
"No plans for today."
That's good, at least she can rest for an hour. Yan Ling thought of the concert on Sunday night. She wanted to go there to support Zheng Rong, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to arrange it by then. Yan Ling took a bath and relaxed her body without lying down immediately. She called the front desk to ask for help about the concert.
After arranging this matter, she completely relaxed. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep soon. Later she was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
Yan Ling touched the receiver in a daze: "Hello."
"It's almost seven o'clock, why haven't you come out yet?"
This sentence made Yan Ling wake up completely. God, how long had she been sleeping? She was obviously just planning to take a nap. She jumped up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes, combed her hair, and then headed to the restaurant on the fourth floor.
The well-decorated restaurant was brightly lit and there were many guests. Yan Ling searched around twice before she saw Pei Yunchuan, who was sitting in the corner and was not very conspicuous.
She hurried over and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Pei Yunchuan had a lazy look on his face. He put away the newspaper in his hand and said calmly: "The menu is on your left. Order what you want. Remember to ask for the invoice later."
"Okay." Yan Ling opened the thick menu and looked at the prices of the dishes on it one by one. The prices of the dishes in the high-end restaurant were really amazing, so she just ordered something that was enough for two people.
Pei Yunchuan explained tomorrow's arrangements to Yan Ling: "At ten o'clock in the morning, we are going to meet each other. Are you ready with the information?"
"It has been prepared for a long time."
"Okay, I'll call you in advance. There's a dinner party tomorrow night, right?"
"No." Yan Ling wanted to ask about Sunday's arrangements.
"After dinner, let me accompany you to the mall."
Yan Ling nodded and said yes, no matter what, she had to buy a pair of suitable shoes.
The food in the hotel tastes quite average, and to Yan Ling it is not particularly delicious. After checking out, Yan Ling carefully picked up the invoice.
The imperial capital is indeed much more prosperous than the provincial capital. Even in 1997, the imperial capital was bustling with traffic and flashing neon lights. However, the night breeze brought a lot of chill, which made Yan Ling shiver involuntarily. She should have put on her coat.
The two got out of the car in front of the shopping mall. Yan Ling said to Pei Yunchuan, "I can make a choice soon."
Pei Yunchuan did not show any impatience. He said: "It's okay. You choose carefully. It's not too late now."
The two of them entered the shopping mall one after another. There were many specialty stores inside, bustling with customers, and it was a lively and prosperous scene.
Yanling first went to a women's shoe store. It was easier for her to buy things. If she liked something at first sight and the price was right, she would buy it immediately. She didn't like to shop around and shop around.
So she chose shoes at the first women's shoe store, a pair of seven-centimeter black leather shoes with stiletto heels and pointed toes. The toes were decorated with sequins. They were exquisite in style and did not look dull.
Pei Yunchuan was waiting for her outside when Yan Ling was trying on shoes in the store, but he didn't wait long before Yan Ling had already chosen them.
She only bought one pair of shoes and nothing else.
Pei Yunchuan said: "You are quite fast. I thought you women would have trouble shopping." Pei Yunchuan glanced at his watch. It had only taken them less than twenty minutes to enter the mall. This woman is really a refreshing person.

Chapter 133 Tickets Chapter 133 Tickets
Yan Ling said: "There are too many and it's easy to be spoiled for choice, so I make a decision immediately when I see one. It's not fun to spend time choosing."
"Well, you are really different." Pei Yunchuan glanced at her and said, "Give me the bag."
Yan Ling said hurriedly: "No, just a pair of shoes." How could she have the nerve to ask her superior to help her carry her things? She was already very grateful to her superior for accompanying her to go shopping.
Pei Yunchuan planned to look at ties. Yan Ling had no experience in choosing ties. The clerk tried hard to introduce: "Sir, you have an elegant temperament. This blue stripe suits you very well."
Pei Yunchuan said: "There are several blue striped ones at home, how about this light gold one?" Pei Yunchuan asked Yan Ling what she meant.
Yan Ling picked up the pale gold tie and compared it with Pei Yunchuan. Pei Yunchuan had fair skin and looked good in any color. A black shirt and such a tie would really go well together.
"I think it's very good and suits you very well."
Pei Yunchuan asked the salesperson to put the tie on, and he swiped his credit card.
After buying the tie, Yan Ling and Pei Yunchuan left the mall together. On the way back to the car, Yan Ling kept looking at the night view outside the car window. Now she and Jin Qiu Hai were standing on the same land. What was he doing now? Are you still studying hard and reading, or are you enjoying the nightlife of a big city somewhere? Who will be with him?
Yan Ling shook her head gently, trying to get rid of all thoughts about him. Obviously the two of them were just ordinary friends, and she was the one who proposed to break up, so she should really forget about this person.
After returning to the hotel, Pei Yunchuan said good night to Yan Ling: "Have a good sleep. You have other things to do tomorrow."
"I understand, thank you manager, good night." Yan Ling pushed the door open and entered the room. After she turned on the light, she found something extra on the table. In addition to the free pack of good night milk from the hotel, there was also an extra concert ticket. .
"Sparks Band's first major tour!" It also has the promotional graphics of the band members printed on it. As the leader and lead singer, Chi Zhengrong occupies the absolute C position.
She just made a phone call and the person at the front desk did it for her. Yan Ling held the ticket and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She took her wallet and went out.
The front desk was busy at the moment, with several customers waiting to check in. Yan Ling's matter was not that urgent, so she waited in the rest area.
There were two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa opposite. One of them had a big belly. Not only that, he was also Mediterranean bald. His bald head became more and more shiny under the light from the overhead light. He was a completely greasy man. The middle-aged man who was talking to the uncle was not that greasy, but he was very thin. His clothes hung loosely on his body, and he was afraid that the wind would blow him away.
"Professor Yin, I need you to worry more about Monday's speech."
That fat, fat Mediterranean guy is actually a professor? It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance. Yan Ling sighed in her heart.
Professor Yin said: "No, no, old classmate, you are too polite. By the way, I have read the paper you sent me by email two days ago. This point of view is really novel, but I have a few doubts. I want to verify it with you face to face.”
The thin uncle said: "That paper was not written by me, but by one of my students. I specifically asked him to send it to you for review. You will meet tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can ask him in person."
"Your student? Ha, today's young people are really amazing. They are really better than others. You really can't underestimate them. When you say this, I am really interested. I must meet your student Fu tomorrow. professor."
Are both professors? It looks like the experts are meeting.
Yan Ling walked over when there were no customers at the front desk. She took the concert ticket in her hand and expressed her gratitude first. A young female staff member with an oval face said: "Miss, do you also like the songs of the Sparks Band?"
Yan Ling smiled and replied: "Yes, I happened to meet them for a concert this time. I didn't expect that you guys actually helped me buy tickets for the concert."
The tall person next to the melon-shaped face said to Yan Ling: "She is a loyal listener of the Sparks Band, and this ticket originally belonged to her."
Yan Ling was surprised: "Hey, you transferred the ticket to me, what do you do yourself?"
The melon-faced man smiled and waved his hands and said, "Unfortunately, I happen to have to go to work at that time and can't stagger the time, so go ahead, Miss, and don't forget to cheer for me then."
Yan Ling thought, as a fan, she obviously had the opportunity to meet her idol, but she still had a front-row ticket. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this? Besides, why don't you just discuss with your colleagues about changing to get off work at that time?
"But isn't it a pity that you transferred the ticket to me?"
The melon-faced man smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay, miss, you can go for me. I will be happy too."
Yan Ling didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. She counted the money and gave it to the staff member. At the same time, she also wrote down the employee's job number and name.
Yanling paid the money and was about to put the ticket back into her wallet when the ticket in her hand was taken away by someone next to her.
When she was about to scream, she turned around and saw Pei Yunchuan.
Pei Yunchuan held a cigarette in his mouth, carefully looked at the printed content on the ticket, and then said: "Are you also chasing stars?"
"That's right." Yan Ling felt guilty when she was bumped into by her superiors. She stretched out her hand, hoping that Pei Yunchuan would return the ticket to her quickly. After all, she got it with great difficulty.
"I really don't understand what you young people are pursuing." Pei Yunchuan sounded like an old man. After looking at it twice, he finally returned the ticket to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling pretended it carefully. Did Pei Yunchuan also smoke? However, he is not a big smoker. He has never been seen smoking in the office. There is not even an ashtray next to his desk.
So when he appeared in front of him in his current posture, Yan Ling was surprised.
"Manager, are you going back to the room?" Yan Ling had a decent yet embarrassed smile on her face, thinking that he came out here to buy cigarettes, so why didn't he buy them before going back to the hotel.
Pei Yunchuan said: "Go back."
Yan Ling asked Pei Yunchuan to move forward, and she followed him step by step until she entered the elevator. They were the only two people in the elevator. They lived on the 12th floor and it took a while to reach the floor.
What can I say? She always felt that being alone like this was a bit awkward, but apart from their work relationship, she and Pei Yunchuan had no personal contact. She couldn't find a topic to talk about. Just when Yan Ling was hesitating, she only heard a ding and she had reached the floor. .
When he arrived at the door, Pei Yunchuan felt around for a while and said awkwardly, "I seem to have forgotten my room card."
Yan Ling had already pushed open the room next door, and she said to Pei Yunchuan, "Why don't you come and sit in my room first? I'll call the front desk right away and ask them to come up and sort it out."
Pei Yunchuan had no choice but to agree.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 134 Talks Chapter 134 Talks
Yan Ling invited Pei Yunchuan into the room. After Yan Ling put down her wallet, she was about to make a call.
Pei Yunchuan suddenly said: "Don't worry, let's talk for a while."
Yan Ling stood there a little embarrassed. Apart from work, she and Pei Yunchuan had nothing to say. She doesn't even know how old this person is, what interests and hobbies he has, family situation, etc., so what topic can he find.
"Don't just stand there, sit down." Pei Yunchuan reached out and brushed the hair from his forehead.
The door to the room was open, and you could clearly hear the voices and footsteps of people passing by in the corridor outside. This man is usually taciturn, cold and stern. Facing such a man, she is under great pressure.
"Manager, which country is the partner you are going to meet tomorrow from?" Yan Ling was afraid of the silence, so she had no choice but to find something to say.
Pei Yunchuan said: "It's from Italy."
"Oh, it's a pity I don't speak Italian."
"It's okay, your English is very good, that's enough. Are you going to a concert on Sunday night?"
Yan Ling replied with a smile: "We have this plan at the moment. I just didn't tell the manager about this in advance. Are there any other arrangements for that night?"
Pei Yunchuan sat there with his hands folded across his chest, his eyes calm: "I have no plans yet, but I have a meeting to attend during the day. I will probably sign a contract on Monday. I can't deal with private matters, but I hope you won't delay the business. "
Hearing this, Yan Ling's worries gradually faded away, at least she could catch up with the Zhengrong concert.
"Well, don't worry, manager, I won't let personal matters interfere with my work. Especially this order is crucial to the company." Yanling is a person who can handle things clearly, and she doesn't want to be fired not long after she started working. She cherishes it very much. current job.
After talking about this topic, they suddenly became quiet again. Yan Ling said hurriedly: "Let me make a call."
Pei Yunchuan suddenly held down her hand holding the receiver. Yan Ling looked at him in shock. She couldn't figure out what Pei Yunchuan was going to do. She shouted in surprise: "Mr. Pei!" For the first time, she didn't address him. Manager" or "Boss". She couldn't figure out what this man wanted to do.
Pei Yunchuan quickly let go of Yan Ling's hand, while Yan Ling held the receiver and hesitated to press the button. Pei Yunchuan drooped his head, his whole face was in shadow, and he couldn't clearly see the expression on his face or guess what he was thinking at the moment. Apart from their interactions at work, she knew nothing about this man.
He seemed to have a lot of troubles, but he seemed hesitant to say what he wanted to do. Yan Ling was standing and Pei Yunchuan was sitting. From Yan Ling's perspective, she could only see the dark top of Pei Yunchuan's head and the obvious vortex above his head.
"Mr. Pei!" Yan Ling shouted again when she saw that he didn't respond for a long time.
Only then did Pei Yunchuan stand up. He put his hands in his pockets and returned to his usual cold demeanor. He said very indifferently: "It's okay. You can rest."
Yan Ling was still confused. Didn't he come out without the room card, and she wasn't allowed to call the front desk. How was he going to get back to the room? Yan Ling watched Pei Yunchuan go out in bewilderment. Soon she heard the sound of the door next door opening, and then she realized that Pei Yunchuan had told her a little lie. He just wanted to sit here for a while, or maybe he just wanted to find someone. Let's talk about it. Yan Ling didn't know what he was going to say.
Pei Yunchuan is really confusing.
After spending the night like this, she specially set her alarm clock the next day, so she woke up at just seven o'clock. After she got up and washed herself, she went downstairs to have breakfast. However, the door of the next door was closed and there was no sound. Yan Ling thought about it but still did not wake him up.
Later, Yan Ling came back with an extra breakfast from the restaurant and knocked on the door of Pei Yunchuan's room.
Pei Yunchuan stood in front of her with a sleepy look, still wearing polka-dot pajamas.
Yan Ling gave him breakfast and said, "I brought it to you by the way."
Pei Yunchuan yawned and took it, saying a vague thank you.
Yan Ling went back to her room to wash up and dress. She put on light makeup in front of the mirror. After putting on foundation, I drew my eyebrows and applied a near-nude lipstick. I did not put on eyeliner or eyeshadow. After tidying up a little like this, I look much better. Because I have to meet with partners, it’s not easy to wear sportswear. She brought a dark blue suit, which she had ironed and hung before going to bed last night.
Yan Ling changed her clothes, put on stockings and the new pair of high heels she bought last night. After tidying up, she reconfirmed the documents she had prepared long ago, and when the time was almost up, she went to the next room.
Pei Yunchuan had also packed it up a long time ago. The light brown suit still contained a black shirt and the newly purchased light gold tie matched perfectly.
"Let's go."
The two of them left the hotel one after another. Yan Ling called a taxi and told them their destination.
Pei Yunchuan went to bed after getting in the car. Did he not sleep well last night? Yan Ling didn't ask any unnecessary questions. We arrived at our destination soon. Looking at the tall office building. The Baiyuan Mall they want to go to is on the 11th floor. Yanling opened the elevator.
There was a mirror in the elevator, which clearly reflected the two people. Yan Ling, who was wearing formal attire, looked very different from before, and she looked more capable.
After arriving on the floor, the two quickly saw the Baiyuan signboard, and soon people from the other company came to receive them.
Under the guidance of the other party's staff, Yan Ling finally met the owner of this trading company, the Italian that Pei Yunchuan mentioned. The Italian was just over 1.9 meters tall, and Xu Yanling, who was wearing high heels, was obviously shorter than the foreigner. The man was not only tall, but also physically strong. He has curly black hair, a carefully groomed beard, a high bridge of nose, and large European-style eyes. The man's eyes were gray-blue.
Yan Ling shook hands with the man and sat down before Pei Yunchuan sat down.
This is the current partner, an Italian businessman, whose name seems to be Stephen.
Stephen's Chinese is very limited and he knows a few daily expressions, but most of the time he communicates in English. Pei Yunchuan can speak French very fluently, but he doesn't have much problem with daily communication in English, but when it comes to some professional aspects, he is not so fluent. Fortunately, he has Xu Yanling, who is very good at English.
Xu Yanling occasionally acted as a translator, and the conversation went smoothly.
This initial negotiation lasted a full two hours, and in the afternoon there were some quotations and other details from Baiyuan Trading. Spent most of the day here.
By the time I heard the other party’s quotation and cooperation intention, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Stephen shook hands with Pei Yunchuan: "Happy cooperation! See you at Mingxuan Hotel tonight."
He spoke Chinese with a heavy accent and stammered. Pei Yunchuan said with a smile on his face: "See you in the evening."

Chapter 135 Reception Banquet Chapter 135 Reception Banquet
After returning to the hotel, Pei Yunchuan had a half-hour long-distance call with Mr. Wang, talking about Baiyuan Trading's intention to cooperate, the proposed conditions, quotations, etc.
In fact, this business trip should be handled by Mr. Wang in person, but Mr. Wang had something to do at home and had to leave it to Pei Yunchuan. Pei Yunchuan understands technology in research and development and knows the raw materials better than anyone else. He is also Mr. Wang's most trusted partner, so he is naturally more at ease than leaving it to others.
Yan Ling put on slippers. The newly bought shoes were indeed very uncomfortable. Fortunately, she had a layer of stockings between them. If she wore them barefoot, she might have worn out the skin on her heels. Yan Ling rubbed her feet. She didn't have time to be idle. She quickly sorted out the contents of today's meeting. She didn't have a laptop at hand, so she had to record all the key points in a notebook. If Pei Yunchuan asked later, she could answer.
There is a dinner party to attend next, and I have taken care of it tonight. I only have arrangements for the morning tomorrow, and I can look forward to the concert in the afternoon.
At this time, her BB phone rang. When Yan Ling saw the displayed number, she immediately took the room phone and called back.
"Hey, you responded really quickly this time, Yan Ling. We have arrived in the Imperial Capital. The concert tomorrow is said to be the largest one." I could hear Chi Zhengrong's voice being so excited.
His emotions quickly infected Yan Ling, who also laughed and said, "Okay, I hope your performance goes well."
"Don't worry, I've seen the wind and waves before. I had some stage fright during the first show, but now I'm completely gone. The cheers from the audience are the biggest encouragement. Yan Ling, if you can come to my concert alright."
Yan Ling couldn't help it, she said: "When you perform in your hometown, I will definitely come to support you. When will the tour end?"
"Looks like next Thursday, there are two more after that. Although I am happy to have a concert, I am really tired. I haven't even had a good night's sleep these days. When I go back, I plan to sleep for three days and three nights to make up for it."
Three days and three nights, it was really a dead pig.
Yan Ling and Zheng Rong said, "Let's get together when you come back."
"Well, I'll look for you as soon as we get off the plane. You have to wait for me."
"Okay, I wish you all the best." Yan Ling hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she heard a knock on the door. Yan Ling hurriedly opened the door, only to see Pei Yunchuan standing there leaning against the door frame. Yan Ling glanced at her watch and said, "It's not six o'clock yet."
"It's time for us to go out."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll tidy up and go out." Yan Ling shut Pei Yunchuan out of the door unceremoniously.
Mingxuan Hotel is a famous high-end hotel in the imperial capital. It was the first time for Yan Ling to attend such an occasion after time travel. Yan Ling seemed a little uncomfortable. I think she was just a rookie who had just entered the workplace. She was a low-key person in the company, so how could she attend such an occasion. However, here she was able to appear as a representative of the company only a few months after graduating from school.
Yan Ling was still wearing her dark blue suit, holding a tall glass with half a glass of red wine in her hand. She was sitting in the corner, looking slightly lonely. Over there, Stephen and Pei Yunchuan were chatting. The communication between the two seemed to be going smoothly, and there was no need for her to be a temporary translator.
"Miss Xu, come and have a toast with us." A woman wearing a dark green cheongsam came over. That woman was Stephen's secretary. She was also dressed in formal clothes like her during the day. Now she had her hair tied up again and changed into The cheongsam that highlights the figure makes the figure more upright and exquisite. Even Yan Ling envied the other party's good figure.
"Secretary Li." Yan Ling stood up holding the wine glass, and the two women clinked glasses. Yan Ling took a sip gently. The wine tasted slightly astringent.
"Is this your first time in the imperial capital, Miss Xu?" After a toast, Secretary Li sat down next to Yan Ling.
"How did you know?"
Secretary Li smiled and said: "Of course I guessed it based on intuition. It seems that I guessed it right."
Yan Ling said: "Well, this is my first time here. The imperial capital is indeed much more prosperous and lively than our city."
Secretary Li smiled and said, "Then will Miss Xu come to work in the Imperial Capital in the future?"
Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, then said: "I haven't thought about resigning now, so I probably won't in the short term."
Secretary Li covered her mouth and smiled and said: "It seems that I said the wrong thing. Miss Xu comes here once in a while, so she can go out for a walk. The Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and national parks are all scenic spots. Interesting places include a lot of."
This was Yanling's first visit to the Imperial City at this time, but when she was still Lin Yanling, she had already visited the Imperial City with her parents when she graduated from high school. More than ten years later, the Imperial City was even more prosperous than it is now. She couldn't help but smile when Secretary Li said this: "It's just that my schedule this time is tight and I don't have time to hang out, so I have to wait until next time."
Secretary Li also took the opportunity to say: "That's such a pity."
Later, the topic of fashion trends came up for some reason. Yan Ling thought that the cheongsam worn by Secretary Li was good. Secretary Li smiled and said: "It was specially made by someone, so the size is just right. Nowadays, you have to be more careful when going out to eat." , I’m afraid that my stomach will be full and it will become ugly.”
Yan Ling said: "The fabric looks pretty good, is it silk?"
"Miss Xu is really amazing. You can recognize her at a glance." Secretary Li's skin was not very white at first, and this dark green color did not match her skin, but she put on exquisite makeup and the bright lights in the room made her look very white. It has charm.
The two were chatting happily, and when they wanted to continue communicating, Pei Yunchuan suddenly came over and said to Yan Ling, "I'll take you to meet someone."
Yan Ling got busy here, and Pei Yunchuan led her to see a man in his thirties, who was about the same size as Pei Yunchuan. Pei Yunchuan and Yan Ling introduced: "This is Boss Hu. They make equipment. We Some of the instruments in the laboratory belong to Boss Hu’s company.”
Yan Ling became even more respectful after hearing this. Boss Hu said with a smile on his face: "Yunchuan, the female secretary next to you is pretty good. She looks a bit like Tianhui."
This is the second time Xu Yanling has heard this name. Is the Tianhui mentioned by the other person the same person as the one she heard from Pei Yunchuan?
Yan Ling felt a little strange, but Pei Yunchuan quickly interrupted Boss Hu: "Old Hu, you drank too much."
"Why did you drink too much? I haven't drunk much tonight." Hu Kang saw Yan Ling holding a wine glass and said with a smile, "I have to toast this beautiful lady."
Yan Ling said respectfully: "Please take care of me, Boss Hu, in the future."
Hu Kang laughed twice, and Stephen came over and pulled Pei Yunchuan over. The two stood in front of the window and whispered.
"Boss Hu, are you familiar with our manager?"
Hu Kang smiled and said: "Of course we are familiar. We lived together for three years when we were in France, so I know all the bad things this kid did outside."
Yan Ling finally couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked, "Who is the Tianhui you just mentioned?"

Chapter 136 Gentleness Chapter 136 Gentleness
Seeing the doubts on Yan Ling's face, Hu Kang couldn't help but smile. Then he glanced at Pei Yunchuan. He leaned closer and whispered to Yan Ling, "Of course she is my fiancée."
"Fiancée? Is the manager not married yet?" Yan Ling suddenly remembered the blonde that Chen Songyang and the others had talked about. The so-called blonde was Tianhui, and then his fiancée?
He suddenly went to France and came back soon. Was he going to meet his fiancée?
"I was my fiancée before, but I haven't contacted Pei Yunchuan for a long time. I don't know how they are doing now. Maybe they are married or they have broken up. After all, Han Tianhui's family is in France, and her mother is a foreigner, so it is impossible to return to China. Well, Pei Yunchuan suddenly returned to China to work, so the relationship between the two may not be that stable, and they may break up."
Yan Ling didn't know what kind of person Pei Yunchuan was in life, because she felt that it had little to do with her. But at this moment, she remembered what happened last night and what Pei Yunchuan wanted to say to her at that time.
But if Han Tianhui is a mixed race, how could she look like him?
Xu Yanling has not struggled too much on this issue. How his private life is has little to do with her.
Yan Ling chatted with Hu Kang for a few words, and then left with the excuse of going to the bathroom. The red wine was also on her head. She had drank so much on her honeymoon tonight, but now she felt dizzy and nauseous, and her stomach was a little uncomfortable. But compared to these, the newly bought shoes on her feet are really uncomfortable to wear, and her right foot is hurting badly. If she had known she should not have bought this pair of stiletto heels, and the heels are more than five centimeters high, she Sure enough, I still don’t get used to it. After arriving in the bathroom, she held on to the sink and spat for a while, but didn't spit out anything. Then she drank a few mouthfuls of cold water and rinsed her mouth.
A woman nearby who was busy touching up her makeup saw this and said to Yan Ling: "Women nowadays are really hard-working. If you can't drink it, just push it away. Why should you suffer."
Yan Ling took a look in the mirror. The woman next to her was wearing a burgundy dress, her hair was dyed maroon and permed into woolen curls. This woman is pretty and has a good figure. But what attracted Yan Ling was her pair of sparkling earrings. The beautiful sapphires were particularly shining under the light.
Yan Ling smiled helplessly and added, "I can't refuse socializing at work."
The woman put the lipstick on and said, "What a silly woman." She put the lipstick into the chain bag, then tossed her hair and walked away gracefully.
Fortunately, my head is still clear enough, but I must not drink again tonight. Yan Ling rested for a while while holding on to the marble table. At this moment, she really wanted to take off her shoes, even if her bare feet were comfortable.
Perhaps because she hadn't shown up for a long time, Pei Yunchuan came to find her.
"are you drunk?"
Yan Ling shook her head and said, "No, but I really can't drink anymore."
Pei Yunchuan said: "Then don't drink. I'll stop drinking for you."
"Thank you." This was what Yan Ling could think of, and she continued: "I'm fine. It's better to go forward, otherwise it will be very difficult if they come to find you."
Yan Ling was walking in front. After a few steps, there were water stains on the smooth floor tiles. Yan Ling lost her center of gravity and almost fell. Fortunately, Pei Yunchuan behind her helped her in time: "Hey, be careful. .”
Yan Ling replied awkwardly: "Thank you, thank you."
When we arrived at the banquet hall here, there was still a feast of lights, green clothes, and fragrant people on their temples. Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, someone familiar came to him. Before leaving, Pei Yunchuan said to Yan Ling, "Go and rest for a while. We can go back in about an hour."
"Okay." Yan Ling is a quiet person and will not cause trouble to others.
Secretary Li is a smart and capable person. She is chatting and laughing among the men at the moment. She looks really elegant and intellectual in her cheongsam. Maybe she can become that kind of woman.
Today's reception dinner was hosted by Baiyuan Trading. Many people were invited, so it was considered a medium-sized dinner. It is said that this Stephen has a good background and has set up several trading companies in China, all engaged in import and export business. Italy and France are too far away for Yanling.
She looked around and didn't find Pei Yunchuan in the crowd. Did he secretly smoke again?
"Oh, why are you leaving Miss Xu alone? Come here and let's have a drink." After Secretary Li finished socializing with the men, he saw Yan Ling coming over again in the corner.
Yan Ling hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm almost drunk. I don't feel very comfortable. I want to rest for a while."
Secretary Li said to Yan Ling with a half-smile, "It seems you still need a lot of practice."
"Maybe." Yan Ling also seemed a little helpless.
It was twenty minutes later when Pei Yunchuan appeared again. The dinner party is coming to an end, and there are not many plans for tomorrow. She can catch up on her sleep in the morning, maybe go out for a walk in the afternoon and bring some small gifts to friends, and go to a concert in the evening. The contract will be signed on Monday morning, and the contract is completed. Then you can take the flight back after three in the afternoon.
When it was about to end, Yan Ling got up and reluctantly socialized for a while, but Pei Yunchuan actually kept his word, and even Jing Yanling's drink was blocked by him.
The area where she rubbed her feet was really uncomfortable. It felt like a knife was gently cutting the skin. In addition, the soles of her feet hurt. She really wanted to throw away the shoes immediately.
"Wait a minute." Yan Ling was walking in front, but Pei Yunchuan suddenly pulled her from behind. Yan Ling nodded in agreement with some confusion.
Pei Yunchuan took her arm and asked her to sit back in the chair.
"Take off your shoes."
"how?"
"The shoes don't fit, thank you for your patience until now." Pei Yunchuan said as he took out a few band-aids from his pocket. He said, "No one noticed this in the corner. You can take care of your feet yourself."
"Did you sneak out just now to buy Band-Aids?"
"yes."
Yan Ling was still confused: "How did you know that my shoes were scratching my feet?"
"New shoes are easy." Because this kind of experience has happened before. That woman is very similar to the one before me. They are both stupid women who are good at enduring. They think that as long as they endure it and don't speak, they will not cause trouble to the people around them. However, hugging It is a mistake to think like this.
The skin on her right foot was indeed abraded, and she covered it with a band-aid. After she finished it, when she was about to put on her shoes, she found that he had put a band-aid on the edge of the heel that was rubbing against her feet. After his simple treatment, she no longer felt the rubbing against her feet after putting it on again.
Yan Ling said sincerely: "Thank you."
Pei Yunchuan's face was still stern, and he said very calmly: "Let's go."
Having been a colleague for so long, Yan Ling felt for the first time that her superior was also a gentle and meticulous man, although his gentleness and meticulousness were usually hidden by his stern face.

Chapter 137 The Hangover Chapter 137 The Hangover
Xu Yanling and Pei Yunchuan returned to the hotel where they were staying, and waited for a long time in the elevator before they came down.
After the elevator door opened, many people came out one after another. Yan Ling caught a glimpse of the bald and fat professor she met in the hotel lobby last night. The professor was communicating with a man next to him.
Yan Ling accidentally glanced at the man, and she was stunned. It was him! Why did you meet him here? At this moment, Yan Ling felt her heartbeat speeding up abnormally. She didn't want him to recognize her, so she lowered her head subconsciously. In the end, she passed by the man. Yan Ling's fists were clenched tightly. She had experienced this before. That time it was also because of a foot problem...
"Aren't you going upstairs?" Pei Yunchuan pressed the button with one hand to keep the elevator door open.
Yan Ling then said: "Here we come."
The man walking next to Professor Yin suddenly looked back. At that moment, he seemed to notice the appearance of someone familiar. He thought it was because he was dazzled. How could she be here? Could it be that I really miss her so much? Anyone with a similar body shape can be associated with her.
The elevator stopped after reaching the floor. Yan Ling took out the room card from her bag and prepared to open the door. She glanced at Pei Yunchuan unnaturally. He couldn't forget to install the room card again, right? But he saw that Pei Yunchuan had already opened the door. Seeing Yan Ling's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Yan Ling smiled hard and said, "It's nothing. I'm really grateful for tonight."
Pei Yunchuan accepted her thanks and pushed the door open without saying a word. Only then did Yan Ling open the door.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to take off her tortured shoes, and then walked twice on the carpet with bare feet. It felt so comfortable to be completely relaxed.
I took off my makeup, took a shower, and put on comfortable pajamas. The fatigue of the day was finally swept away. Yan Ling took a hair dryer to blow her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror, but suddenly remembered the scene that happened while waiting for the elevator.
The world is really small. Although they are just ordinary friends now, she doesn't have the courage to call him out. Will she still avoid him like she did today if they meet next time? She is really a coward.
Generally speaking, there were no plans for the weekend, and she got up a little late, so she missed the hotel's buffet breakfast, but it didn't matter anyway. The breakfast in this hotel was just mediocre and nothing special. It was almost eleven o'clock at this time. Okay, I can have lunch if I hold on a little longer.
After lunch, she could go shopping outside and choose some gifts for her colleagues in the office. After all, it was her first business trip and she came to the imperial capital.
She didn't see Pei Yunchuan until Yan Ling went out that day, but she was worried that he would suddenly look for her, so Yan Ling knocked on his door before leaving.
When she saw Pei Yunchuan wearing pajamas and opening the door for her, Yanling was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Have you been sleeping?"
"I drank too much last night, and I have a bad hangover and a headache. I put off all my appointments today. Why did you call me?" He looked a little impatient.
Yan Ling said quickly: "I am going out here, so I want to report to you. I am worried that you will come back to me. I may come back later tonight."
"I understand, go ahead. Be careful on the road." After finishing speaking, Pei Yunchuan closed the door.
Yan Ling stood at the door stunned for a few seconds before leaving.
There is a map in Yanling's bag. On the back of the map is a guide route she made. After leaving the hotel, you can go through the traffic light intersection in front and reach the bus stop opposite. From there, take the No. 77 bus for five stops and then transfer Take the subway. The subway can take her where she wants to go.
When the green light flashed on the opposite side, Yan Ling followed the crowd across the street. Yan Ling reached into her pants bag and touched it. She originally wanted to touch the coins, but unexpectedly she touched the unused band-aid. She remembered what happened last night. There happened to be a drug store behind it. Yan Ling entered the drug store without any hesitation. After buying the medicine she needed, she asked the clerk about the nearby convenience store.
Xu Yanling knocked on Pei Yunchuan's door again with a large bag of things. Pei Yunchuan scratched his head and said, "Is there anything else?"
Seeing his dazed look, Yan Ling probably couldn't remember what she had told him. Yanling walked into his room and took out the contents of the bag one by one. The food was piled aside. She placed the medicine she bought on the bedside table, poured a glass of warm water, and squeezed out the medicine. She placed it on his palm and said to him: "Take a pill first."
"I'm not sick, what kind of medicine is this?"
"Painkillers are very effective for headaches." Yan Ling was embarrassed to say that she relied on this medicine to save her life when she had dysmenorrhea.
Under Yan Ling's gaze, Pei Yunchuan put the capsule into his mouth, and Yan Ling promptly gave him a glass of water. Pei Yunchuan swallowed it in one gulp.
"Okay, I'll leave here first. If you're hungry, just eat something. You won't be able to do it without eating. Do you need my help to buy anything?"
"No, just have fun and call me if you get into trouble." Pei Yunchuan gave Yan Ling a note with the landline number in this room written on it.
Yan Ling accepted it and left. Sure enough, she still didn't understand this man.
Yanling entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
The place Xu Yanling chose to visit was a large shopping mall not too far from the city sports center. Originally, I wanted to visit the Forbidden City, but time did not allow for it. Besides, I had already been there before, so it was not interesting to visit alone.
Yan Ling walked around the mall alone. She didn't have a strong desire to buy and didn't want to spend money on useless things, so she didn't want to buy anything from the first floor to the fourth floor, but she had to bring a gift for Kong Ling and the others. , otherwise it’s not good to be empty-handed. Yan Ling went to a small shop that sold gifts, carefully selected several kinds, and asked the clerk to wrap them separately, which was more or less a reflection of her heart.
When I got tired from wandering around, I went to sit in a coffee shop. It was still two and a half hours before the concert started.
Yanling had never chased stars before. When she was Lin Yanling, she had no worries about food and clothing, and there was nothing for her to worry about at home. Her parents were often away from her and she had little control. She had no interest in singers or movie stars, so I have never been able to understand those people who, just to meet their idols, would surround them and spend huge sums of money to buy celebrity peripherals. I think these actions are childish and stupid.
If it weren't for Chi Zhengrong being the lead singer, she probably wouldn't have gone to the concert.
Yan Ling handed the ticket to the ticket inspector next to her, and after confirmation, she quickly passed through.
Under the guidance of the on-site staff, she found her location without much effort. The fifth row is indeed relatively far forward. Yan Ling thought to herself that the kind receptionist gave her the ticket, and she would need some compensation later.

Chapter 138 Concert Chapter 138 Concert
The lighting is in place and the sound is in place. The staff responsible for adjusting the stage gradually left the stage, and more and more fans came to watch.
Xu Yanling sat there with her hands on her chin, her eyes fixed on the stage, and she couldn't help but think of the time in 1990, when Chi Zhengrong had trouble with his family because he insisted on singing. At that time, he was isolated and helpless, but it was she who persuaded the Chi family's parents. Chi Zhengrong had a dream. At that time, he thought that he would be like this now, standing on the brightest stage and singing to the people who know him best.
She glanced at the real time on her watch. There were still about twenty minutes until the show started. After a while there were people around. There was also a fluorescent stick on Yanling's seat, and she held it in her hand.
Somehow, her mood suddenly became a little surging. Perhaps the atmosphere at the scene infected her, and Yan Ling's mood also became excited.
When the audience was almost there, most of the lights in the auditorium were turned off, and all the lights were focused on the center of the stage. Yan Ling saw that the drum kit was set up and the electronic keyboard was already in place.
Hou Ganquan was the first to appear, and the audience cheered, and then Fu Xing also appeared. Everyone waved glow sticks and shouted loudly. Yanling, who was usually rational and quiet, also waved glow sticks with everyone. Amidst cheers, Rong Fengjiao appeared on the stage carrying the bass on her back, and Chi Zhengrong was the last one to appear. After his appearance, the audience's enthusiasm was pushed to the highest point. Everyone shouted "Chizi" in unison! "pond"!
At this moment, Yan Ling was so excited that she almost shed tears. She didn't expect that Zhengrong would be so loved by the audience. He really succeeded.
Chi Zhengrong walked to the microphone, led the band members to bow first, and then said the opening remarks of the concert: "Thank you all fans and friends for coming to support me. I am honored to stand in the center of the stage and meet you. This is Our Sparks Band is going on tour for the first time, so please forgive me for any inconsiderations, and please continue to support our Sparks Band."
After a brief speech, the band members played in perfect harmony. Chi Zhengrong said: "The first song we brought is our representative song "Sparks"."
The cheers were loud and the sound effects seemed a little bad, but the performance was very good. Chi Zhengrong plays the guitar and sings. His concentration is fascinating. At this moment, Yan Ling also understood why Chi Zhengrong was liked by so many female fans, and why Yan Chun used tricks to make Chi Zhengrong become her girlfriend. Chi Zhengrong, who focuses on singing, is indeed very charming.
At the climax, Chi Zhengrong raised the microphone to the audience, and the original concert turned into a live chorus. Yan Ling listened a lot, and she was able to sing along, although her singing was a bit terrible.
As he sang each song, the fans cooperated very well, and the band performed very hard. Looking at Chi Zhengrong on the stage, only Yanling knew how difficult it was for him to go all the way. She did not hesitate to applaud, nor did she hesitate to Cheers. She was also one of the Sparks' most passionate fans tonight.
The finale was "Chaoyin", and Yan Ling quietly left the stage before the chorus. Later, she went to buy a large bouquet, and then she went backstage to wait while holding the bouquet. Unexpectedly, there were already many fans waiting there, so Yan Ling holding the flower was not the one who attracted the most attention.
The people who came to wait were all young girls, some of whom looked like they were less than twenty, and looked exactly like middle school students. I didn't expect that Chi Zhengrong would be liked by little girls like this.
The concert over there has come to an end, and the enthusiastic fans who sent flowers have to squeeze in, hoping to take this opportunity to have close contact with the idols. Fortunately, there are security personnel blocking the way, so none of them can.
Yan Ling stood at the end, but she did not follow suit.
Nearly half an hour passed, and these loyal fans kept shouting the names of the band members, as if they were unwilling to even meet them. Yan Ling wondered if they had exited elsewhere, so wouldn't it be in vain for her to wait here?
At this moment, she saw Chi Zhengrong and other members appear at the door. Chi Zhengrong enthusiastically hugged and signed autographs with these fans without any airs. In addition to Chi Zhengrong being the most popular member of the band, Rong Fengjiao is also very popular among fans, so many people at the scene expressed their love for Rong Fengjiao.
After those people gradually dispersed, Yan Ling walked towards the light from the dark corner with the flowers in her arms. The manager originally came to urge them to take a car and leave, but Chi Zhengrong had good eyesight. Even though she couldn't see her face clearly, she still couldn't see her face clearly. He had already deduced who it was from the figure, but he didn't believe it. Isn't she in the provincial capital? How could she appear in the imperial capital?
"I wish you a successful performance!" Yan Ling stepped forward and gave the bouquet to Chi Zhengrong. The smile on her face showed that she was extremely happy.
Before Chi Zhengrong took the flowers, he gave Yan Ling an excited hug: "I'm not dreaming, why are you here suddenly?"
Yan Ling said with a smile: "I came to the imperial capital on a business trip and happened to meet him. I didn't tell you before because I wanted to give you a surprise."
Chi Zhengrong took Yanling's hand and said, "Let's go, come with us." When he pulled Yanling in front of everyone, the other members saw clearly that it was Xu Yanling.
Rong Fengjiao was surprised and said, "It's Sister Yanling, why are you here?"
Yan Ling said with a smile: "I am also your fan and I am here to cheer you on."
Rong Fengjiao gave Yan Ling a big hug and said excitedly: "I'm so happy, thank you for coming. How was our concert?"
Yan Ling smiled and replied: "It was more lively than expected and also touching."
Hou Ganquan also wanted to hug Yan Ling, but was interrupted by Chi Zhengrong. He and Mu Tingting said, "Let her go with us?"
Everyone was familiar with each other, and Mu Tingting didn't have any objections. She even greeted Yan Ling warmly.
Yan Ling got on the minibus with the band and headed to the band's hotel.
Rong Fengjiao and Yan Ling were sitting together. Rong Fengjiao and Yan Ling said, "There is a celebration ceremony when we go back. How about you join us?"
Yan Ling waved her hand and said, "No need, I'm not good as an outsider."
Rong Fengjiao took Yan Ling's hand and said, "An outsider? Others treat you as an outsider, but I have never been like this. Sister Yan Ling, we are all friends. How about celebrating together?"
It only took more than ten minutes to drive from the gymnasium to the hotel where they stayed. Fu Xing and Hou Ganquan took all the bouquets off the car. Rong Fengjiao kept holding Yanling's hand to prevent her from getting there halfway. leave.

Chapter 139 Celebration Party Chapter 139 Celebration Party
Everyone went to Chi Zhengrong's room, which had been decorated long ago with the help of hotel staff. There was a champagne tower on the long table covered with plaid tablecloth, and there was a big cake in front of it. There is a variety of food on another table next to it. Colored lights and colorful strips were hung in the house.
In Xu Yanling's opinion, the layout is a bit earthy, but the atmosphere has been created very well.
Mu Tingting and the team members said: "Because time is tight and there is no chance to do anything else, I have to make do with it. When everyone goes back, the company said that they will celebrate with everyone properly."
Hou Ganquan said: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is something to eat." He came on the court hungry, and now he was already ravenous. Hou Ganquan went over and brought a fruit plate and started eating.
Fu Xing and Chi Zhengrong said: "You are our captain, it is your turn to pour the champagne."
Chi Zhengrong walked to the champagne tower. He held a large bottle of champagne and poured it from the top. Everyone cheered.
Yan Ling sat obediently in the corner and watched them lively. Later, Zhengrong cut the cake again. Zhengrong gave Yanling a piece of cake with yellow peaches on it. He said, "You like canned yellow peaches, right? This piece should be good too."
Yan Ling thanked her after taking it. She figured she should go back after eating the cake. While eating the cake, Yan Ling said: "Zhengrong, can you give me a signed photo of you later? A poster will also do. .”
"Well, it's really rare that you would ask for these things. How much do you want? I have a big bag over there."
Yan Ling said with a smile: "Why do I need so many? It's impossible to sell them. You pick one for me, sign it and I'll give it away."
"It's a trivial matter. But you really don't want to come to the concert without notifying me in advance. Otherwise, I would reserve a golden VIP seat for you and you wouldn't have to spend money to buy tickets."
"Isn't it good that I contribute ticket revenue to you?"
The two chatted for a while, and Hou Ganquan came over. He said to Zhengrong: "Yesterday you said that the new song I wrote was not good, and I have changed it again. I will show it to you later."
Zhengrong said: "Okay, you better move quickly."
Hou Ganquan said, "The bosses are urging me. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the new album for Christmas."
Yan Ling couldn't get in the middle of the conversation while they were talking about business. She tried her best to finish the cake on the plate, and Rong Fengjiao brought a fruit plate over there for Yan Ling to eat. Yan Ling waved her hands and said, "No, the butter cake just now has a lot of calories. I really don't dare to eat anything else."
Rong Fengjiao said to Yan Ling: "Sister Yan Ling, do you still want to lose weight?"
Yan Ling said: "Yes, isn't this the wish of every woman? But if I were as thin as you, I wouldn't lose weight. My body is prone to gaining weight. If I don't pay attention, I'm afraid my weight will go up."
Rong Fengjiao said: "I'm different from you. It's the responsibility of an artist to maintain a figure and maintain an image. If I were just an ordinary office worker like you, I wouldn't have such scruples."
"You are about the same height as me, do you weigh 90?"
Rong Fengjiao said: "I'm probably not as tall as you. I'm just 1.6 meters tall, but weigh 84 pounds. I'm very satisfied with my current condition, so I'm trying to control it."
Yan Ling was only 4 centimeters taller than Rong Fengjiao, but 20 pounds heavier than her. Yan Ling suddenly felt a little depressed. While the two women were chatting about their bodies and skin care, they heard someone ringing the doorbell outside. Fu Xing, smoking a cigarette, went over and opened the door.
After he saw the person standing at the door clearly, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, please come inside."
Yan Ling looked toward the door. She never expected that it would be Jin Qiuhai. She quickly guessed that it was Chi Zhengrong who had made an appointment. You obviously want to avoid it, but you still can't?
Yan Ling walked over and said to Zhengrong, "Please give me the photos and posters. I'll go back here."
Chi Zhengrong smiled and said: "What are you in a hurry? Let's play together for a while. It's still early."
It's early, it's already ten o'clock. Yan Ling urged again, and Chi Zhengrong had no choice but to ask Mu Tingting to bring the photos and posters. He signed them first and then handed them to the other members.
Jin Qiuhai had been standing at the door. He saw Xu Yanling over there at a glance. This scene was like a dream to him. Then the figure he felt similar to last night was indeed her!
Jin Qiuhai put his hands in his pockets and greeted everyone warmly. Fu Xing enthusiastically invited Jin Qiuhai into the house.
Everyone is a comfortable person, so Jin Qiuhai was naturally not polite. He walked straight towards Yan Ling and asked Yan Ling, "When did you come to the imperial capital?"
"Two days ago." Yan Ling looked away from him. This was the first time she had officially seen him since the breakup. Is it really difficult to go back to the past? Is it true that you can’t even be friends after a breakup?
"Oh? Are you here specifically for the concert?"
"No, I'm here on a business trip." Yan Ling was a little indifferent.
Mu Tingting also brought a piece of cake to Jin Qiuhai. Jin Qiuhai was not polite. He took the cake and ate it in big gulps. Yan Ling walked to Chi Zhengrong and said, "Are you okay?"
"That's almost it. I said why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you go back tonight? It's a hotel here anyway and just ask the waiter below to open an extra room. Why rush back? We haven't seen each other for several days. Come on, why don’t we talk together?”
Yan Ling naturally disagreed with Chi Zhengrong's suggestion. She said: "No, there is a very important contract to be signed tomorrow morning, and I have to fly back tomorrow afternoon. I can't miss my business. What do you have to say? I'll wait until I get back. Let’s talk about it carefully.”
Chi Zhengrong had no choice but to give the rolled-up poster to Yanling, and Yanling put the photo into the small bag she carried.
She got the things and said to the band members: "Thank you for your hospitality, see you later."
Chi Zhengrong glanced at Jin Qiuhai who was standing there, and said hurriedly: "It's getting late, and I'm not worried about you walking alone in a strange place. Let Qiuhai see you off."
"No, it's convenient for me to go down and take a taxi." Yan Ling took the poster and went out. Jin Qiuhai rushed out quickly. He said to Yan Ling, "I'll see you off."
Yan Ling said again and again: "No need, just celebrate with them."
Jin Qiuhai walked side by side with her. He said, "I'm not in their band to join in the fun. Zhengrong called me and told me you were here, so I hurried over." The two of them had already arrived at the elevator entrance. Jin Qiuhai Pressed the down button for Yanling.
"Yan Ling, are you still angry with me?"
Why is she angry? It was obviously her who initiated the breakup. Yan Ling lowered her head and said, "I'm not angry, it's just you who are worrying too much."
"Since we are not angry, at least we are still friends. You said the same thing on the phone before, have you forgotten?" Jin Qiuhai said, he really wanted to hold Yan Ling's hand, but now they are not even qualified to hold hands. .

Chapter 140 Rescue Chapter 140 Rescue
The two of them didn't exchange a word in the elevator until after they got out of the elevator, Jin Qiuhai said to Yan Ling, "Shall we find a place to sit?"
Yan Ling refused: "No, I have to go back to the hotel. I have work arrangements tomorrow."
Feeling her coldness, Jin Qiuhai did not back down. He grabbed Yan Ling's arm and said again: "Yan Ling, I think there is some misunderstanding between us."
At this moment, Yan Ling had only one thought, she wanted to rush back. Yan Ling reached out and called a taxi. Unexpectedly, Jin Qiuhai also got in the car. After Yan Ling reported the place name, the driver said: "Miss, it's a bit far here. It's not easy to use the meter. How about this? I'll charge you two hundred." how?"
Jin Qiuhai, who was sitting in the back row, said: "It doesn't cost two hundred even to check the meter. Go straight from here, turn left at the traffic light in front of you, get on the overpass after 100 meters, and get off the overpass towards Gaoyue Avenue. From Gaoyue Avenue to Wanwan where the hotel is located." Hua Avenue and Fenghuang Road are not far away, and there are not even seven traffic lights."
The driver broke into a cold sweat when he heard about it and said quickly: "Since you are so familiar with it, let's check the meter."
He really followed me all the way. What on earth was he going to do? It was not convenient for Yan Ling to talk to Jin Qiuhai in the car. It took twenty minutes after they arrived at the hotel where they stayed, and they spent a total of 73 yuan.
Yan Ling got out of the car, and Jin Qiuhai naturally followed. He grabbed Yan Ling and begged again: "Yan Ling, let's find a place to have a good talk?"
Yan Ling looked at her watch and said, "Sorry, it's already 10:40, I'm going back to bed."
"Yan Ling!" Jin Qiuhai shouted eagerly. He wanted to grab Yan Ling's arm, but was interrupted by a man coming towards him.
"Why are you coming back so late?" Pei Yunchuan supported Yan Ling with one hand.
Yan Ling looked at Pei Yunchuan in surprise. Why was he outside? By the way, was he out to buy cigarettes again? Yan Ling was eager to get away from Jin Qiuhai. Pei Yunchuan seemed to have seen some clues. He took Yan Ling's hand and walked into the hall. The two seemed very close, and as expected, Jin Qiuhai did not catch up with her. He watched the two people enter the revolving door until they disappeared intimately in front of his eyes.
Does she have a boyfriend? The reason why you broke up with her before was also because of your relationship with that person, right? Why didn't she make it clear to him before that it was because she was in a relationship with someone else? Instead, she made some tired excuse. That excuse was obviously untenable and terrible.
When passing by the front desk, Yan Ling said to Pei Yunchuan next to her: "You go up first, I have something to deal with."
As expected, Pei Yunchuan let her go, and Yan Ling walked towards the front desk. She glanced at the female front desk clerk who was reselling tickets to her and was not there at all. She then asked, "Is Ms. Zhang Meiqin with job number No. 033 here?"
"You are Miss Xu from the 12th floor. What does Miss Xu have to do with us, Miqin? She is not on duty today." The person who received her was another petite lady with a baby face.
"Didn't she say she had to go to work today? Why didn't she go to work?"
The baby-faced lady smiled and whispered to Yan Ling: "That's because her boyfriend came from out of town, and she wants to accompany her boyfriend."
"Then please don't give these two things to her for me, okay?" Yan Ling then presented the signed poster and signed photo.
"Okay, no problem. I will transfer it to her for you tomorrow when she goes to work." The baby-faced lady was very enthusiastic.
After the explanation, Yan Ling was about to go upstairs, and she saw Pei Yunchuan standing not far away waiting for her. Yan Ling quickly stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
He had indeed been waiting for a long time. He had been downstairs since half past eight and had stayed there until now. However, Pei Yunchuan still looked calm and said very indifferently: "Let's go, don't forget that there are very important things tomorrow." .”
"Yes, I understand." The two entered the elevator.
Yan Ling looked at her own shadow in the elevator, and said thank you to Pei Yunchuan: "Thank you." Yan Ling omitted the few words that appeared in time.
"It's okay. You looked very embarrassed just now. Are you being pestered by that person?"
"That's right, but it doesn't matter anymore."
Yan Ling returned to her room. She had not been back since lunch. It was almost eleven o'clock now. Although she had not visited many places, she was also tired.
No, I have to take a shower and go to bed. We have to sign a contract tomorrow and have to take a flight back in the afternoon. Only when she really got home would she have a chance to rest.
Yanling changed into pajamas and lay on the bed unable to fall asleep. After a while, the BP machine rang again. Yanling got up, looked at the number and dialed back.
"Didn't it disturb your sleep?" Chi Zhengrong's voice came on the other end of the phone.
Yan Ling said: "It's okay, I can't sleep well anyway."
"Well, is Qiu Hai beside you?"
Yan Ling sat up and replied: "How is that possible?"
Chi Zhengrong immediately smiled and said to Yan Ling: "I just said it casually, don't be angry. But you haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you have a good chat?"
"No nonsense, I have a mission tomorrow morning. I have to take a flight in the afternoon."
Yan Ling rarely said such vulgar words. Chi Zhengrong seemed a little fresh. He asked Yan Ling: "What do you think of today's concert?"
"It's more grand and lively than I thought. You are a real shining star standing in the middle of the stage. Zhengrong, I never thought you could go this far. Bless you. If only your parents could see you tonight." Just perform well." Yan Ling did not hesitate to praise her.
Chi Zhengrong said to Yan Ling on the other end of the phone: "Now I am taking off steadily. How high I can go depends on my luck."
"Anyway, congratulations to you and I hope you can fly higher."
"Yan Ling..." Chi Zhengrong paused for a few seconds before saying again: "Thank you for coming to my concert."
Yan Ling said: "Are we still polite to each other? I expect you to succeed more than anyone else."
"Yan Ling, I also hope that you can succeed and live the life you want. By the way, let me ask again, is there really no possibility between you and Qiu Hai?"
Yan Ling was silent for a moment before replying: "Zhengrong, some things are destined to become the past. Since they are the past, it is impossible to look back. I think it is more appropriate to be friends with him."
"Friend? If you are really a friend, why have you been avoiding me!" Suddenly there was a different person on the other end of the phone.
Yan Ling felt a little uneasy when she heard this voice. She didn't expect that Jin Qiuhai would be beside Zhengrong at this moment, so Zhengrong had deliberately asked her that question before.
"Are you together?" Yan Ling asked this question without knowing how to speak.
Jin Qiuhai's hand holding the phone was shaking a little, and he said, "Yes, let me ask you, who is that person?"
He was asking Pei Yunchuan. Yan Ling wanted to explain. Seeing that she didn't answer immediately, Jin Qiuhai preliminarily concluded: "He is your new boyfriend, right?"
