Chapter 567 What a coincidence
"Hehe, what a coincidence."

"What a coincidence."

"You wrote it?"

"Well, how's the writing going? Can you, a great writer, have a discerning eye?"

"If I were a great writer, I wouldn't have to buy your script."

"You are a big boss. You have to make a lot of money, so how can you have time to write these things?"

"."

Le Yi Company.

Mr. Li looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes full of gossip.

He and Zhou Liang had just talked about the script, and the script author happened to be in the company, so he invited him in and the three parties discussed it together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house.

Zhou Liang started chatting with the script writer. Judging from the words, tone and attitude of the conversation, the two were very familiar with each other and had a strong sense of ridicule.

Zhou Liang looked at Li Lin with some surprise.

"Are you surprised?" Li Lin tilted her head mischievously, with a smile on her face, "I write novels, it makes sense for you to buy the script and buy it from me. In comparison, I was even more surprised to see you."

"Okay." Zhou Liang shrugged, "Your novel is very well written, with twists and turns in the plot and very good characterization. It is an excellent script in the eyes of our company."

"Haha." Li Lin smiled slightly, "We have known each other for four years, and this is the first time you have complimented me on something I wrote."

Zhou Liang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you do it before?"

"No."

"Feel sorry."

"I didn't even show it to you. Why are you sorry?"

"."

Seeing Zhou Liang's helpless look, Li Lin's face suddenly blossomed, like a blooming flower.

Although they had known each other for four years, Li Lin never showed Zhou Liang what she had written.

One is, it is not necessary.

Second, there is a special tacit understanding between the two, and neither one will deliberately inquire about what the other has written.

Next to him, Mr. Li finally came to his senses and realized that the two people in front of him were "old friends."

Then the whole thing will be easier to handle.

He hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down, and immediately the three of them discussed the script together.

Because Li Lin and Zhou Liang have known each other for a long time, the script was finalized without long discussion.

Li Lin didn't make too many demands. She believed Zhou Liang [-]% about the plot or characters of the entire world of the novel.

After the matter was resolved, Zhou Liang left Leyi Company.

"Sorry, I have something to do. You can go back to the company." He said to several subordinates.

"Good Mr. Zhou."

Several subordinates looked at Li Lin next to them.

Wearing a pure white dress, she looked like the clouds passing by in summer. She didn't have any jewelry on her body, no complicated necklaces, no gorgeous earrings, not even a bracelet, but it didn't look monotonous.

Its own brilliance has surpassed that of jewelry.

So elegant, so natural, as pure as water.

"Hey, bet, Mr. Zhou definitely has a secret with that girl."

"Anyone who's not blind knows this."

"That girl looks at Mr. Zhou, he is affectionate, affectionate, and tender."

"Oh, it's so sweet."

"."

Zhou Liang watched several subordinates leave and looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were covered with thunder and lightning. Along with strong winds, heavy rain was about to fall.

"Let's go, it's going to rain." Li Lin pushed the hair from her forehead behind her ears, but the strong wind blew her hair to the front again, blocking her sight and looking particularly hateful. She glanced three times, but to no avail. Then he gave up, "It's so annoying."

Zhou Liang dug into his pocket, took out a headband and handed it to the other party.

Li Lin took the hairband, gathered up her straight black hair, and then tied it up, making her look a little more chic.

"Carry a headband with you?"

"It belongs to Zhou Lingmeng."

When eating this morning, Zhou Lingmeng saw that he was handsome and handsome in a suit, and then he took out his hairband and tied a small braid for him, which was left behind.

"Hehe." Li Lin's face blossomed, she smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder.

Whoa!
The heavy rain comes at any time without any warning.

Fortunately, the two found a restaurant before it started to rain.

Like the university, Zhou Liang handed the menu to Li Lin, and the latter took it generously and ordered a few side dishes, including cumin ribs, crab fillet and egg, baby green vegetables, and clam and bitter melon soup.

Very simple three dishes and one soup.

"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Zhou and buy my novel. Now that I have an income, I won't make AA copies today. I'll pay for it."

Li Lin returned the menu to Zhou Liang. He took the menu and handed it to the waiter next to him, indicating that there was no need to order anymore. The two of them had enough to eat, and if they couldn't finish it, it would be wasted.

"That novel is very well written." After the waiter left, Zhou Liang poured two cups of bitter tea and handed it to the other person, "To be honest, I didn't tell from the writing that it was your work." "

Li Lin is somewhat similar to him. She is an extremely calm person, as if nothing can make waves in her heart, but her novel is filled with some extremely uncool things.

While Zhou Liang was reading, he was thinking about what kind of person could write such a thing.

Unexpectedly, it was actually made by Li Lin.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do." Li Lin waved her hands, without any embarrassment, "Every calm person is essentially a madman. I can't go crazy in reality, so I can go crazy in novels to vent my emotions. It’s also inevitable.”

She wrote the novel in an extremely unstable mental state, just to have fun for herself, without much thought, but she didn't expect that Zhou Liang Company would take notice of it and spend a lot of money to buy it.

After listening, Zhou Liang smiled and nodded: "Very good."

The two chatted and ate.

It was noon now, office workers' break time, and the whole restaurant seemed particularly lively.

After lunch, the heavy rain showed no desire to stop. There seemed to be a hole in the sky, and countless rivers poured down from the sky.

"Ah, it's raining heavily." The two walked out of the restaurant. Li Lin looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh, "I originally wanted to go to the bookstore in the afternoon, but I probably won't be able to go now."

Zhou Liang: "Let's take a taxi."

"There are many people taking taxis when it rains. I don't want to take a taxi." Li Lin stretched out. Her graceful figure was particularly eye-catching. The pure white dress matched her temperament and gave her a different feeling.

Zhou Liang checked the time and said in no hurry: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"You?" Li Lin raised her eyebrows, with a hesitant expression on her face, "Are you sure?" "..." Zhou Liang said, "What's your expression? Am I going to sell you to Burma?"

Li Lin seemed to think of something happy and suddenly laughed, her red lips pursed.

"Okay, let's go."

Facing her smile, Zhou Liang was stunned and didn't understand why he was laughing.

He didn't tell any jokes, and he was born without a sense of humor?
It suddenly made Li Lin laugh.

Feeling doubtful, he didn't think about it carefully and immediately drove to his destination.

After a while, the car parked in front of a bookstore in a prime area of ​​Shanghai. It clearly read: Enjoy reading time.

"No wonder I feel that the route I just navigated is a bit familiar. It's my bookstore." Zhou Liang looked at the bookstore and smiled.

Then he turned his head and met Li Lin's eyes, and their eyes met.

Li Lin, who is usually calm and composed, showed a mischievous smile: "Do you know this bookstore? It is very popular in Shanghai. It is a veritable Internet celebrity store, attracting many people to check in. Seats in the store are very rare, but this store and I The boss is very familiar with me, how about it? Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Did Zhou Lingmeng take you?"

Zhou Liang didn't tell Li Lin about opening his own store because it was unnecessary. Speaking of it seemed like he was showing off, which was not his style.

Judging from Li Lin's attitude, she obviously knew that this store belonged to him.

Someone must have told her, and there were only a few people who knew about it.

Obviously, Zhou Lingmeng helped a lot.

"Haha." Li Lin smiled slightly, "Not bad. I opened a store in high school and made it bigger and stronger."

"It's all Ran Qiu's fault and has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Liang found a sheltered place to avoid getting wet, and then got off the car, and Li Lin also got off the car.

The two went in together.

Perhaps because of the rain, the business in the store was not very good today. It was not as full as before, and there were only a few regular customers.

The whole space seemed empty.

Ran Qiu was sitting at the front desk, staring at the tablet, studying the corresponding business knowledge.

As Yuedu Time grew bigger and bigger, she felt more and more inadequate. She was always a little scared, afraid of ruining the bookstore and betraying Zhou Liang's trust in her.

Therefore, in her free time, she will learn knowledge and supplement herself.

Jingle Bell!
The sound of a row of wind chimes reached her ears. She looked up and said with a slight arc at the corner of her mouth: "Oh, you are finally willing to come here. I thought you had forgotten me. I was about to empty out the bookstore's property and run away immediately. ."

Having said this, he paused and looked up and down at Zhou Liang, who was wearing a black suit and a handsome appearance. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "Going on a blind date today? He's dressed so handsomely."

"I'm meeting a client." Zhou Liang responded.

Ran Qiu then curiously asked: "You sold yourself? You shouldn't. Your family has not fallen to the point of selling yourself? Is the other party a super rich woman? Or is she very beautiful? Or is she particularly weird? Can you Dressed like this.”

puff!

Suddenly, an unbearable chuckle attracted Ran Qiu. She finally saw Li Lin behind her, abandoned Zhou Liang, and opened her hands: "Li Lin, why are you here?"

"I just arrived, and I happened to hitch a ride with him." Li Lin also hugged the other person, and then pointed at Zhou Liang.

Li Lin got acquainted with Ran Qiu when Zhou Lingmeng brought her to Yuedu Time last time. Since then, she has been coming to the bookstore often, and the two have a good relationship.

Ran Qiu will leave a free spot for her to spend her free time.

"You two know each other?" Ran Qiu's eyes widened slightly.

"She is the Li Lin I told you about. We often read together in college." Zhou Liang replied.

"Oh." Hearing this, Ran Qiu clapped his head, as if suddenly enlightened, "No wonder this name sounds so familiar to me. Sometimes I wonder where I have heard it before, but I can never remember. The original source is here. "

Zhou Liang looked at the sky, which was pitch black, and he suddenly didn't want to go to work. While Li Lin and Ran Qiu were talking quietly, he called Ren Zi and informed her that he would not return to the company.

Some unimportant things were left to Ren Zi.

Zhou Liang turned on the lights in the bookstore. The dim lights dispelled the darkness and illuminated the house. It was raining heavily outside, but it was quiet inside. In contrast, the house felt a little more cozy.

"Long time no see." The old customer nodded in greeting when he saw him.

Zhou Liang also responded: "Long time no see."

He turned off Ran Qiu's learning video and tidied the counter. After finishing the tidying up, he walked into the tea room, made two cups of tea, walked in front of the two of them, and placed it on the table.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Ran Qiu smacked her lips and looked at Li Lin with a frown, "You are unreasonable. You obviously know Zhou Liang and know that this bookstore belongs to him. Why didn't you tell me? I want to know You two have such a good relationship, how can I have the nerve to accept your money?"

Li Lin did not tell her relationship with Zhou Liang. Every time she went to the bookstore alone, she paid.

"Sorry." Li Lin apologized.

"."

Ran Qiu rolled her eyes and looked helpless.

Immediately, his eyes wandered between Zhou Liang and Li Lin. Those eyes seemed to be blazing and golden, emitting a superb light. As he looked at them, he made strange sounds in his mouth.

tsk tsk!
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Liang asked.

"You two deserve to be able to play together. You are not a family, and you don't belong to the same family. When facing accountability from others, you have no excuses or explanations. You only know how to apologize. Do you two have any other words besides "sorry" in your mouth? ?”

Because Zhou Liang often forgets about the bookstore and leaves all affairs to Ran Qiu, and Ran Qiu often complains about this matter. Faced with complaints, Zhou Liang can only respond with two words: sorry.

Regardless of whether he was wrong or not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with apologizing first.

Every time Ran Qiu wanted to complain, the complaining emotion immediately disappeared.

At this point, Ran Qiu stretched his neck and asked curiously: "Are you two in love?"

Li Lin replied: "No."

Zhou Liang shook his head: "No."

"Explanation is cover-up, cover-up is fact." Based on Ran Qiu's understanding of Zhou Liang, the relationship between the two in front of him is by no means as simple as imagined, but he did not break the casserole and asked the truth, and waved his hand grandly, "Forget it, I am not a gossip. As for you guys, whatever you two say will be yours."

After a pause, he continued: "But you two are quite destined. We met twice by chance not long after graduating from college. It's not that easy in a big city. Do you really have no intention of falling in love?"

"."

Zhou Liang and Li Lin looked at each other, and the former said, "Didn't you stop asking?"

"Oops." Ran Qiu took a sip of tea, "I'm just curious. We can meet twice in the vast sea of ​​people. It's not an ordinary fate."

"."

The two of them remained silent and watched Ran Qiu say a series of words.

Ran Qiu was a good person. When he saw that the two of them had no desire to speak, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask. Then he showed his cheerful personality, changed the topic, and continued chatting.

Mainly Ran Qiu was telling Li Lin some stories about her and Zhou Liang.

How the two met, how she pestered Zhou Liang and then became Zhou Liang's employee, how she managed the bookstore.

Li Lin couldn't help but laugh when she heard the story that Zhou Liang was a real rich second generation but pretended to be a fake rich second generation.
