I stand on the bridge and watch the scenery

Chapter 9 What do you want?

When Zhang Zhenglan said those words, he was actually a little hesitant and embarrassed. After all, this was the first time he had experienced this, but when he said it, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if he had a sense of support.

The old lady Zhang is in charge of personnel affairs in the government department, she has contacted so many people, and she is very sharp in seeing people, and her son was brought up by herself. At this moment, the son's expression is obviously not joking as usual, the old lady wiped her hands dry, slowly Slowly said: "Are you serious? Where is she from? What is her last name? What does she do?"

Zhang Zhenglan shook her head, "Mom, why is your survey method similar to the census?"

The old lady scolded: "What census? Can't I ask my son's sweetheart?"

Zhang Zhenglan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just ask whatever you want, what's her last name, right? Her surname is Xiao. As for her job, she graduated from the same university as me, with the same major."

The old lady wanted to ask after hearing this, but Zhang Zhenglan raised her hand to stop her, "Mom, if you keep asking, the guests outside will have to wait for a long time."

When Mrs. Zhang was carried out by her son with one arm on her shoulder and the other holding the fruit plate, she muttered, "Are you afraid that I will ask more questions or are you afraid that people outside will wait too long?"

Zhang Zhenglan thought to herself, the old lady is really sharp.

When Zhang Zhenglan sent her mother and Qi Min back that day, the old lady felt that it was a pity in her heart. Xiao Qi's conditions in all aspects were good, and she liked it very much, but her son's thoughts were obviously not on her.Mrs. Zhang got out of the car at the door of the house and asked her son to send the girl home. Before she left, she pulled her son down and said a few words, "If you don't mean it, then tell Xiao Qi clearly, don't drag her down."

Zhang Zhenglan nodded to show that he knew what was going on.

Qi Min felt Zhang Zhenglan's politeness and friendliness towards her, but she also felt a little alienated. When the car was almost home, she couldn't help sniffing, "You don't have much interest in me, do you?"

Zhang Zhenglan turned the steering wheel skillfully, and said kindly, "You're pretty good, really. In my mother's words, you're better than me in every aspect."

Qi Min is a smart person, so he said that his rhetorical question has become an affirmative sentence, "...I want to know why."

Zhang Zhenglan stopped the car, said "sorry" to Qi Min, stroked the steering wheel with his fingers, and said calmly, "I like a girl for more than two years...and I only know now, now I don't want to lose her again."

Shuiguang finally applied for a job. Although the salary is average, it is expensive because of the small workload. Compared with the previous job, she often went out to discuss business and often worked night shifts. She prefers the simple job in this small company now.

Coming out of the office building where the interview took place, she walked to the stop sign and waited for the bus. She was thinking about something, touched her hair subconsciously, and found that it had been cut short, "I forgot." Then, Shui Guang's eyes accidentally saw a man among the crowd waiting for the bus on the left front reaching out to steal the wallet of the person in front.In the past, people often heard that someone picked up a mobile phone purse on the bus, but this was the first time I saw it with my own eyes. When Shui Guang saw people around, she noticed it, but no one dared to make a sound. She didn't think much about going up to catch the thief The man was stunned for a moment, not expecting someone to be troublesome, and glared at her viciously, "You are looking for death!" The man broke free and wanted to do it, but Shui Guang first warned lightly: "I have learned more than a dozen Years of martial arts, unless you come from Shaolin Temple, you will definitely not be able to beat me."

The man showed apprehension on his face. Although he wasn't sure if she was bluffing him, everyone around him was pointing and muttering to help the girl. He didn't dare to make trouble, and left while cursing. Shui Guang thanked her repeatedly.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Shui Guang saw the bus she was waiting for coming, and before she got on the bus, she heard someone in the crowd saying, "She was so cool just now."

The bus was heavily blocked during off-duty hours, and it was an hour after Shuiguang returned home. As soon as she entered the house, she found that not only Luo Zhi was there, but also other people. When they saw her, they all smiled and stood up. Luo Zhi spoke first, " Shui Guang, you’re back. Brother Guo and Brother Zhang Yu, have you seen each other? Brother Guo and the others came here today because they have something to talk to you about, come on, come and sit here.”

Shuiguang already guessed what it was about. Zhang Yu called her many times before, hoping that she would participate in the promotional activities of their company's games. Shuiguang politely refused each time, but the other party obviously did not give up easily.To be honest, she didn't understand. There are so many Chinese people, and there are many people who meet the requirements. Why do you want to find her?

Sure enough, that's what Daguo brought Zhang Yu to visit in person.The words that Shuiguang wanted to refuse were temporarily unable to utter because of Luo Zhi's dealing with it.

In the end, Luo Zhi said: "Brother Guo, don't worry, this girl has been vacant recently, and she is always available to help!"

Shui Guang thought, this is a good brother who eats inside and out.

"I just found a job and I'm going to work in two days."

Zhang Yu and Da Guo glanced at each other, and Da Guo said, "Miss Xiao, we won't waste your time too much. If everything goes well, it only takes a day or two."

Shui Guang regretted it, knowing that he would go to work tomorrow.

Luo Zhi patted Shuiguang on the shoulder, "Be good, be obedient." Then he said to Daguo, "Brother Guo, I will accompany Shuiguang to find you tomorrow, and we will discuss the specific matters at that time?"

Zhang Yu was the happiest, "Okay, great, see you tomorrow, Miss Xiao!"

This matter that has been pending has been inexplicably finalized in this way.As soon as the two left, Shui Guang said to Luo Zhi, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Baby, you should get to know more people." Luo Zhiyu said earnestly, "Besides, you only need to go to Brother Guo's company and put in a little effort. Hehe, you can make a lot of money, that's great."

Although Shui Guang was not happy, but the matter was over and he didn't want to argue any more.

After she returned to the room, she lay on the bed for a long time, reached under the pillow, touched a bookmark under there, and stroked the handwriting lines on it carefully, "Say, should I really do what Luo Zhi said, Go out, get to know some people...and forget about you?"

Zhang Zhenglan set off from home to work at around nine o'clock in the morning. The rare good sleep last night made him feel much better today, even his cold seems to have improved.

He originally wanted to go to her yesterday, but in the end he didn't go. He thought about it a lot. He is currently in a passive position. It is far better to move forward steadily than to act too hastily.

After Zhang Zhenglan entered the company, Xiao He made tea to follow up in his office, and handed several faxes and hot tea to the boss.

Zhang Zhenglan said "Thank you", flipped through the fax casually, and said, "Has Daguo come? Let him come in."

"Brother Guo and Lao Zhang are signing a contract with someone. It is the girl who had dinner with us last time, Xiao Shuiguang. She has agreed to participate in the promotion of "The World"."

"Who?" Zhang Zhenglan's hands stopped for an instant.

"Xiao Shuiguang, uh, boss, is there any problem?"

"...No." Zhang Zhenglan bit her lower lip and asked, "Is she in our company now?"

"Yes, in the reception room, her boyfriend is also there."

After a while, Zhang Zhenglan said: "I see, you go to work first, and you tell me when they come out."

Xiao He said "OK" and went out.

Zhang Zhenglan sat on the office chair and read the materials for a while, but she was obviously absent-minded. Finally, she got up and walked around the office, habitually fumbling for cigarettes in her pocket, only to realize that she hadn't smoked for a while, and she had nothing on her.

When Shui Guang came out of the reception room, the first person he saw was Zhang Zhenglan who was coming towards him.

In fact, it shouldn't be surprising, this is his company after all.

When Zhang Zhenglan approached, Luo Zhi behind her greeted warmly, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhenglan let out a "hmm", his eyes swept over Xiao Shuiguang, and then fell on Daguo and Zhang Yu, "Are you talking about the promotion of "The World"?" It looks very calm.

"Yes, boss, I have signed the contract." Zhang Yu smiled and handed the contract to the boss.

Zhang Zhenglan took it, he turned it over, closed it, stretched out his hand towards Shuiguang, and said politely: "Miss Xiao, I'm the person in charge of GIT, happy cooperation."

Shui Guang has been regretting coming to this muddy water, and now this feeling is a little stronger, she doesn't know what kind of situation this is.

Under the watchful eyes of those around her, she had to stretch out her hand to hold it back. She originally wanted to touch it and let go, but the other party reached forward and grabbed her hand, holding it a little firmly. This scene reminded her of the past. In a similar scene, he asked her to read his palm and held her hand afterwards, which was equally hot and firm.

After watching the two leave, Zhang Zhenglan turned and walked towards his office.

"Boss, the contract!"

Zhang Zhenglan threw the folder in his hand behind him, and it happened to be thrown into Zhang Yu's arms. Zhang Yu hurriedly held it, and after standing still, he watched Boss Zhang walk into the office and close the door. He muttered to the big country beside him. Said: "Boss, is this happy or unhappy?"

Da Guo shrugged, "Don't guess what the boss is thinking, it's useless to guess."

Zhang Zhenglan entered the office, sat on the armrest of the leather chair for a while, and finally got up straight and walked to the window. Looking down from the fifth floor, she could still see people clearly.

As soon as Shui Guang arrived downstairs, he said to Luo Zhi: "I'll go back by myself, you go and do your work."

As soon as Luo Zhi heard this tone, he knew that his sister was angry. Shui Guang seldom got angry, but when he was really angry, it was quite scary, and he could ignore people for a long time.

Luo Zhi shook the contract in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I should feel really cool at the moment, you see, as long as you go to the photography company to take pictures tomorrow, you will be busy at most. In two days, you can earn more than I did in half a year. Such a good thing is like a piece of pie in the sky. Besides, you are still free for the last two days, so you can help Guoge and the others. , Wealth and righteousness, how wonderful!"

"That's not the problem." Shui Guang frowned.

"What's the problem? Are you worried about not being able to shoot well? Don't worry, I believe in your ability!"

Shui Guang looked at him, finally shook his head, "Forget it." She didn't want to say anything more.

"Then it's all right?" Luo Zhi smiled and handed the contract to her, "When I read the contract before, I honestly thought they had made a mistake in the numbers. How profitable is this company?"

"You take the contract." Seeing a taxi coming, Shui Guang stretched out his hand to beckon, and then said to Luo Zhi, "I'm going to my friend's place, and you, are you going back to the company?"

"Back to the company, what kind of friend are you?"

"My former roommate, she helped raise a dog I raised before. She seemed to be sick these two days, and she asked me to go and have a look."

Luo Zhihan said: "Since when did you get a dog? Don't you always dislike furry animals? Jing Lan likes dogs..." Luo Zhi's last words stuck in his throat, but Shui Guang didn't seem to listen Arrived, just said: "The car is here, then I will go first."

"Oh, okay, then you should be careful on the road." Luo Zhi saw that Shui Guang got into the car, and he didn't look up at the sky until the car drove a certain distance, and cursed softly: "Damn, why don't you just let me get into the car?" She'll go with you."

Lin Jiajia's home is in the suburbs, and it took more than half an hour for the taxi to arrive. Shuiguang was a little distressed when he paid the money. At first, he really should have walked a few more steps to take the bus.

This area is regarded as the junction of urban and rural areas, with scattered residential buildings and some small shops on the side of the road.Shuiguang has been here four or five times, and she is familiar with it. When she entered Lin Jiajia's yard, she was entangled by a big dog that ran out.

"Long time no see." Shui Guang touched its head.

"Shuiguang, here we come!" Jiajia came out with a smile. Because of the injury, she was "disfigured". Cut it short?" She looked Xiao Shuiguang up and down, "However, short hair is really more suitable for you, beautiful lady!"

Shui Guang said speechlessly: "You are not bad, is your forehead better?"

Lin Jiajia pressed the white gauze wrapped around her head and said, "It doesn't hurt at all, it's just a little itchy."

"Itching means it's all right."

After Shuiguang asked about the status of the big dog, Lin Jiajia said that he probably had a bad stomach from eating two days ago, and he should be recovering now.

The two entered the living room while talking. Lin Jiajia's mother brought out tea and snacks, and Shui Guang thanked her repeatedly.Lin's mother is very simple, she just went into the kitchen to work with a smile.

Seeing Shuiguang teasing the big dog, Lin Jiajia leaned over hesitantly and asked, "Guang'er, I called you here today, but I mainly wanted to ask you, do you remember the car owner who hit me last time?"

"What's wrong?" Shui Guang thought to herself, she hasn't given up on claiming compensation yet, has she?
"Oh, no, what, didn't I lie on the back seat last time, and then there was something on my waist, so I pulled it out and grabbed it in a daze." Lin Jiajia took out a platinum pair from her pocket. The necklace, the pendant is a delicate cross studded with tiny diamonds.

"This……"

"I really didn't steal it! I was... I just kept holding it in my hand unconsciously. I thought about it for a long time before I remembered how this chain was on me." Lin Jiajia put the necklace on the table, "Shuiguang, you said... well, what should I do?"

Shui Guang also felt that the incident happened suddenly, she pondered for a while, she accidentally glanced at his license plate at that time, she thought for a while, and vaguely remembered, "The license plate seems to be... I'll go check it out, I should be able to check it To the owner of the car." She saw Lin Jiajia's eyes fluttering, "Why don't I pay it back?"

"Really? That's great!" Jiajia blushed, "I'm really afraid that the other party will kill me as a thief."

"Then you are not afraid that I will be destroyed?"

Lin Jiajia laughed loudly, "You will not be destroyed by others, and no one will be able to destroy you."

Shui Guang shook his head, how could he describe her as a beast?But in the eyes of others, how unbeatable is she?
Zhang Zhenglan stayed up until get off work and turned off the computer. He picked up his coat and tucked it in his arms. When he walked outside, he said to Xiao He, "Xiao He, let me drop by and take you home, shall I?"

Several elite men looked at each other, and immediately murmured in their hearts. "Damn, the boss wants to chase Xiao He?" "It's too obvious!" "Isn't Xiao He already famous? Is the boss going to be the mistress? Shameless, shameless!" "Boss... Chasing Xiao He? Why is it a bit discordant?" How do you feel?"

Zhang Zhenglan naturally didn't care what other people thought, even if someone had the guts to speak out, he would still ignore it.

Xiao He's thoughts are relatively simple: Miss, I work seriously and rigorously, and I have a good personality. It's normal for the boss to give some employee benefits. Besides, I stopped by once before, and I'm familiar with the way. After saying goodbye, he left with the boss.

A group of elite men left behind shaking their heads and sighing, "The world is going down, the world is going down."

Someone said: "Boss and MM Xiao He... are completely unworthy."

An engineer also thought so, "I think the girl who came today is the one who signed a contract to promote our son "The World" and the boss is a good match. Standing together feels very harmonious, doesn't it?"

Someone laughed and said, "That's two people who can't fight each other, right?"

At a time when a group of gossip men are having different opinions, Boss Zhang is heading towards his "yes".

In Zhang Zhenglan's heart, he was actually quite unreasonable, and it was not that he had never been in love before, but he had to admit that this time was a bit tricky, and after thinking about it for a long time, he just thought, let's talk about it when we meet someone!What should I do if I can see it?he does not know.

He felt that his current state was that he was nervous when he saw it, but he couldn't think about it, and he was so sad that he was dying.

He simply turned on the music, and Xiao He said next to him: "Wow, boss, you also like to listen to Hailey Westner's songs. I thought only girls would like to listen to such a soft voice."

Zhang Zhenglan said "Yes", "I just heard it, it's not bad."

It was rare for Xiao He to find a friend, so he couldn't help chatting with the boss about music with great interest. Although Zhang Zhenglan was thinking about it, he was still able to handle it with ease.

When the car arrived at the destination, Xiao He still had a lot to say, and after getting off the car, he still said, "Boss, let's talk next time."

"Okay."

After Xiao He left, Zhang Zhenglan leaned back in the chair.

Outside the gate of this community, he has parked under this sycamore tree no less than five times, waiting for the same person.

He didn't stop when he came, but he didn't move forward when he arrived. Although he was caught off guard for the short encounter in the morning, he was happy, but he came to find her by himself, and none of them seemed to end well.

Zhang Zhenglan was a little hesitant to learn from the past few times, what if she ignored it?This is very possible, or it is also possible to let him go directly, Zhang Zhenglan found out that he already knew her so well, and this understanding made him very discouraged, or... just go up Just hug her and confess to her?Zhang Zhenglan shook her head. The probability of this kind of success is estimated to be negative. Why don't you take it slowly?But take your time, it is estimated that there will be no progress in ten years.

Zhang Zhenglan thought of many countermeasures, but in the end he rejected them one by one. Rubbing the steering wheel with his thumb, he thought to himself, thinking so much was useless, since he knew what he wanted, it would be over if he treated her well.

After Shuiguang came back from Lin Jiajia at noon, he has been busy at home with preparations for starting a new job next week.Luo Zhi called and said that he ate dinner outside and had to work night shifts so that she could eat by herself.Shui Guang thought it would be too troublesome to cook by himself, so he simply went downstairs to buy dried noodles.

The small shop where she wanted to buy noodles was right next to the gate of the community, and as soon as she walked in, she bumped into the person who just bought a pack of cigarettes and was about to come out, both of them were taken aback.

Shui Guang sighed in his heart, such coincidences... are too many.

And the expression of the other party was flat, at least on the surface, but in the silhouette that no one could see, the tall and handsome man slightly squeezed the cigarette case in his hand.

Naturally, Shui Guang would not notice this, and the shop owner just called out to Shui Guang, "What do you want to buy, little girl?"

"Give me a tube of dried noodles, thank you."

"Okay." The boss smiled, "I haven't seen you shopping for a long time."

Shuiguang gave a soft "hmm". When she lived alone, she often came here to visit. It was convenient, and you can buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in this store. Later, when Luo Zhi came, she was often urged to go. Shopping in supermarkets, milk and fruits are prepared every day, but I don't see him eating too much, but she eats more because she is afraid of expiration.

When Shui Guang wanted to pay, someone behind him handed the money to the boss first.

"Ah...no need." Shui Guang slowly refused.

"It's okay." He mumbled something from his throat and put the money on the glass table. The boss hesitated: "This gentleman wants to pay for her, right?"

"Yes, there is no need to look for it."

"You... oh, no need..." Shui Guang frowned, not knowing how to deal with this kind of thing, she wanted to reach out to pay for herself, but Zhang Zhenglan grabbed her hand, "It's okay." He pretended to be calm Say, "Just by the way."

Although it was abrupt, it was indeed a trivial matter, Shui Guang pulled out his hand calmly, and said to himself, let him pay if he wants to.She took the noodles, forced a smile at the boss, and walked out of the shop.

Zhang Zhenglan lowered his head, and finally chased him out.

It was not yet dark, and the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two of them.

When Shui Guang walked into the gate of the community, someone grabbed her wrist, because suddenly, she was taken aback, and when she turned around and saw who it was, she subconsciously frowned.

"you……"

Zhang Zhenglan bit her lower lip and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Huh?" Shui Guang's response was completely reflexive.

Zhang Zhenglan also secretly scolded herself for not knowing what to say, why haven't I eaten yet?But when he spoke again, he said, "I'll take this side too, don't you mind eating it together?"

Shui Guang looked at him in disbelief.

Zhang Zhenglan was embarrassed, but he found that he was actually more relaxed than before.

Her expression looked surprised, which was fine, Zhang Zhenglan thought, as long as she didn't turn a blind eye, everything would be fine.

He took the dried noodles in a red nylon bag from her hand, "Let's go."

Shuiguang stood still without moving, it was not only inexplicable, it was simply... Shuiguang was annoyed, but the man had already walked ahead, and even turned around to urge her.

Shui Guang didn't know him well, so he didn't know how nervous every step he took was.

But Zhang Zhenglan thought that she would always follow her. After all, it was her home. He also knew that his behavior was very cunning and ungentlemanly, but if it was useful, then there was no harm in being a villain.

Shui Guang walked a few meters away from him, although he was reluctant, but there was only one way, and there was no other way.When she was downstairs in her residence, the person in front stopped to wait for her. Shui Guang stopped two meters away from him. She spoke slowly, with a helpless voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Zhang Zhenglan was quiet for a while, then said embarrassingly, "I'm really hungry."

Shuiguang couldn't laugh or cry, "There are many places to eat outside, and I think you should not be short of money. If you want that side, you can take it too."

Zhang Zhenglan had encountered many difficult clients, but none of them made him so helpless as she is now. She blocked all possible paths with a few words.

"I'm hungry, I just want a meal, nothing else."

After saying this, Zhang Zhenglan himself felt disorganized and unreliable, eating?She said that there are plenty of places outside for him to eat, is there any other meaning?Heh, such an obvious intention can probably be seen even by a blind man!
Shui Guang said indifferently, "Let's go."

Zhang Zhenglan smiled wryly, feeling so uncomfortable, you go, it was like her catchphrase to him, but he refused to go, didn't want to go.

When someone passed by them, they would glance at them intentionally or unintentionally. The handsome men and beautiful women had expressionless faces, probably because of a quarrel, right?
Shui Guang didn't want to be watched and studied by others, she just wanted to go back to her residence, when she walked past him, he gritted his teeth and said: "I like you... Believe it or not." Shui Guang turned around and looked at he.

Zhang Zhenglan stood there with a serious and awkward expression. He grabbed the nylon bag in his hand, "I didn't want to say this kind of thing...you probably don't like to hear it, but I said it because I don't want to hear it." I hope you clearly know but pretend not to know." He turned to face her as he spoke, and grabbed her sleeve with one hand, "Anyway, I won't leave."

Shui Guang found it incredible, this person... is too unreasonable, obviously he looks so serious, just like that morning.Their tugging attracted the attention of passers-by, Shui Guang wanted to pull his hand away, "You let go first."

"Then cook noodles for me."

Shui Guang was speechless, "You..." opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say about him.If a person is determined to stalk him, she has no choice but to knock him out, so when Zhang Zhenglan fell to the ground by a force, he couldn't believe it, he opened his mouth and looked at the sky , and then laughed out loud!
And Shuiguang had already walked into the building, Zhang Zhenglan sat up, turned her head and shouted at Xiao Shuiguang's back: "Shuiguang, are you a woman?" If you taste the tone carefully, it is actually gentle and pampering .

Shui Guang's footsteps paused for a while, and he went upstairs.

Zhang Zhenglan didn't feel any pain when he was thrown just now, but now he felt a little pain, especially his waist and thighs. He stood up and rubbed it, thinking to himself, he really can do it.He stooped to pick up the dried noodles that hadn't spilled out of the bag on the ground, walked to the side of the small flower bed and sat down, lazily lighting a cigarette.

It was already getting dark, he looked up and saw the lights on the first floor of the building, he wanted to laugh again after thinking about it, rubbed his face with one hand, turned his head to see the nylon bag next to him, wondered what she was doing today Will you just skip dinner?

Shuiguang was a little emotionally disturbed by this accident. After she entered the room, she sat on the sofa and thought about her thoughts. Thinking of that man, she felt somewhat awkward. He had a relationship with her before. Even pretending to be an ostrich can't really forget this kind of thing.

Shuiguang is not stupid, that person's attitude is already obvious, but he likes... Can someone really fall in love with someone just because of sex or just through a few encounters?

When the doorbell rang, Shuiguang's first reaction was him, he couldn't help but frowned, the bell stopped for a while, and then rang again, Shuiguang got up and walked to the door, looked out from the cat's eye, but he didn't know anyone at all, She opened the door hesitantly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Delivery." The young man handed over a bag of things in his hand. It was packed with three dishes and one soup. Shui Guang didn't pick it up. "I didn't order takeaway."

"Someone ordered it, and the money has already been paid for. Please take it, miss. I have to send the farewell list."

Shui Guang had no choice but to accept the bag that was stuffed by the other party. She watched the young man hurried downstairs and stood there for a while. After entering the room, she put the bag on the dining table, and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Zhang Zhenglan, what exactly do you want?"
