Chapter 732: Youth. A Dreamlike Flash

ave some fun in the evening, though they were still a little tired.Not yet finished, so Lu Kuo suggested going to the arcade next door to continue playing. He was treating everyone to a fun time today...He was tall, with long arms, holding his phone above her to take a picture, as if he had her in his embrace. Tinglan was dazed, and suddenly remembered many years ago, back in high school when Lu Kuo had invited them to the movies, but he and Cheng Chen had stood her up, leaving only her and Zhuo Yu'an to go. That time she had drunk too much soda and kept burping, and he had helped her pat her back.

Back then, she was in high school. Her lies about her life hadn't been brutally ripped apart yet. She believed her parents were loving and her family was happy. The beauty of that time, when I think about it now, feels like a dream.

Shi Yan finished his speech on stage to a round of applause. He walked off the stage gracefully and came over to our side.

Zuo Yu'an also finished filming, returned his phone to Ting Lan, and didn't intend to leave. Instead, he stood quietly beside her, watching Shi Yan walk towards them.

Lu Kuò, who had always been quietly observing from the shadows, now stood beside Ting Lán, his gaze fixed intently on Shi Yàn.

Shi Yan came for Zhuo Yunan. As a businessman, he had seen Zhuo Yuan Technology on the list of exhibitors long ago and knew it was causing a stir in the smart home industry, so he naturally made a special trip to meet them.

He just felt the hostile gaze of the boy beside Zhuo Yu'an, his steps slowed slightly, and he quickly searched his mind for this person and when he had offended him.

A few seconds later, she remembered that she was at the coffee shop where she worked for Lan. The boy sitting with FeiFei was the same one who had deleted FeiFei's WeChat because he didn't want to get caught up in the entanglement of a love affair between young men and women.

He completely understood the animosity the boys directed towards him. Given his personality, he probably hurt a lot of these boys' hearts in school.

But when Zhuo Yunan looked at him, he also showed a subtle expression that was not easy to detect. Shi Yan then had a hint of confusion and secretly speculated about the reason.

As he approached, Tinglan hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. Shi." She thought he was looking for her.

But all he did was nod, then looked at Zhuo Yunan and Lu Kuò beside him.

Tinglan also looked at them.

Three men stood together. Lu Kuo's hostility was undisguised, while Zhuo Yu'an and Shi Yan both wore polite and attentive smiles as they greeted each other, revealing nothing of their true feelings.

The shrewdness of the two businessmen was evident.

Shi Yan invited them to lunch together.

Zhuo Yu'an and Lu Kuò answered in unison:

You've put a lot of effort into this.

I'm busy, we have a date with Tinglan.

Listening paused, glanced at Shi Yan. This was her boss, of course the boss came first, so she said

“It’s fine, let’s reschedule. You guys go with Mr. Shi, I’ll make a reservation for you.”

Lu Kuo heard that Zhu Yu'an wanted to make an appointment, so he didn't object any longer. Knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.

Shi Yan said, "Tinglan should come too. I've already had the secretary reserve a table, and she'll send you the details shortly. In the meantime, could you please look after Mr. Zhuo"

Shi Yan had quite a few more clients to meet, so after confirming the lunch arrangement, he left.

Lu Kuai grumbled beside her, "Does he think I don't exist Just let Tinglan take care of you, as if I'm not even a person"

Zhuo Yu'an wasn't listening to him at all, his attention was completely on Lan.

"How are you all doing" he asked.

"Huh" Tinglan was on WeChat confirming the restaurant location with CEO Shi's secretary, when he suddenly threw out a question completely unrelated to work, leaving her unsure how to respond.

Lu Kuo quickly answered, "It doesn't look good."

Tinglan: "Shi Zong is a very nice person."

Lu Kuò: “The more attentive and polite someone appears on the surface, the deeper their scheming is, like a cunning old fox. You think someone who built an empire from scratch would be naive Ting Lan, don't be fooled.”

Ting Lan... had nothing to say. She was just an intern; Mr. Shi couldn't possibly deceive her.

"He's good to you" Zhu Yu'an asked again.

This was a question he had been wanting to ask for a long time, so he naturally brought it up without feeling out of place.

But to Tinglan, the question seemed a bit out of place, and even Lu Kuò's words just now felt strange.

Mr. Shi was her boss, and the man Lin Zhi'ao liked. She didn't want to hear these words from others, whether publicly or privately.

He is my boss, a very generous and well-mannered boss. He is good not only to me but also to all colleagues in the company.

These words are not meant to attack Lu Kuò or Zhuó Yǔān, but rather the truth. She has been with the company for over a month now, and this is the evaluation of all employees on Mr. Shí.

"Tinglan, you're so boring." Lu Kuo's attitude towards her had also become a little distant. He felt a little uncomfortable inside, feeling that Tinglan treated people too casually.

Zhuo Yu'an also fell silent, Listening Lan's tone towards Shi Yan just now was clearly enough in protection.

Tinglan didn't know how the atmosphere had suddenly become so somber. She was, to be honest, quite a dull person.

In a work setting, it's the workplace, she shouldn't bring her personal emotions out. So after a while, she returned to her previous politeness and courtesy, saying to them:

"It will be about an hour until morning, if you two need a break, you can go to the lounge next door."

Zhuo Yu'an felt a slight pang in his heart when he heard the deliberate aloofness in her tone.

What do they like about her

During my high school years, when I first fell in love, I understood it was because she matched my preferences. At first sight, I was smitten. Furthermore, being new to Qīngníng added a layer of emotional investment, and the romantic dreams I had about her deepened the feeling.

But it's been so many years, I thought the feelings would have faded, and every time I go back home to see her, it's a process of being abused.

What is he holding onto, what does he like

When resting in the lounge, Lu Kuo said: "Either you just give up, or maybe you should get to know other girls. You might find that it's not just about Fei Lan, there are plenty of lovely girls in the world."

At this moment, Lu Kuo was not only advising Zhuo Yu to calm down, but also advising himself. He had visited Qining countless times over the past few years, wanting Cheng Chen to work in Senzhou, but his request was rejected countless times.

At this moment, he and Zhuo YUAN are both outcasts.

Zhuo YUAN thought about Lu Kuo's suggestion, to contact other girls There are many cute girls

He didn't even think about it, and directly blocked out these thoughts.

He didn't come to find Shu Tinglan because he wanted to date or find a woman, but because of Shu Tinglan, he wanted to have a romance.

It was because of her that he wanted to fall in love.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time or the feeling.

So, there are so many whys, it's just a very mystical feeling, two words enough to keep him going all these years.

At noon, Yan's banquet, Lan did not attend.

This was within Zhuo Yu'an's expectations. When eating, he was absent-minded and sent her a message apologizing through text.

"Good morning, I apologize for intruding. Hope you understand. - Zhuo Yu'an." Knowing she didn't have his number, he made sure to sign it.

"No." Tinglan replied quickly.

"Could I take you out to dinner tonight To apologize."

He gathered his courage and posted another one. Expressing apology is fake, wanting to confess is true. Today is a good day to be favored.r to go out fresh and clean. 。As soon as she went downstairs, she saw the people who had come with her standing in front of a commercial vehicle, waiting for her. The commercial vehicle was still the...
