From that day onwards, it was as if the two of them hadn't seen each other even once. Later on, they heard from their mutual friend that Tan Yizhe had scolded her until her head was soaked in dog blood behind An Shengmei's back.
An Shengmei called her best friend and asked her to come over. She had once liked this person, this was the person that said she liked her a lot.
Human nature was cold, but things were different. The two sides of the shore were made up of the two sides.
It had been a long time since An Shengmei last thought of Tan Yizhe. After not seeing him for seven years, sure enough, he was still the same as when they parted ways, with a bright future ahead of him. Was he doing it for revenge? An Shengmei could not help but shiver. He held onto the information in his hands tightly and started to analyze it seriously once more.
If what he said was true, then the benefits that would be offered would definitely not be as simple as it seemed. If he was just scheming, then the company's humiliation and loss would be all because of her. At that time, even if she contributed a lot to the company, she wouldn't be able to keep her job. If he was after this idea...
Unknowingly, the appointed time had arrived. An Shengmei quickly packed up and went downstairs, where she was already sitting and drinking coffee. Seeing that An Shengmei had appeared, she also ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter.
"Miss An is really punctual." Tan Yizhe took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile.
"Mr. Tan came a little earlier, I have always been on time." An Shengmei was neither humble nor arrogant, she had already made her decision.
"I wonder what Miss An thinks of yesterday's proposal."
"Mr. Tan's suggestion sounds very attractive, but... Our company has refused. " An Shengmei said lightly.
"Oh? Is this a decision from your company? Or could it be that the Miss An has some sort of personal feelings? " Tan Yizhe looked at her calmly, as if he was smiling yet not smiling.
"Why does Mr. Tan say that? Isn't this the second time we've met? Where did my emotions come from? "
Tan Yizhe was about to say something, when An Shengmei's phone suddenly rang. An Shengmei saw the name and immediately called Tan Yizhe: "Sorry Mr. Tan, I need to answer a call." With that, he stood up and walked to the hall.
"Shengmei, where are you? Was the plane delayed? It had already been more than three hours. How much longer would it take? The domestic plane is really... "
"Gu Qingyan, don't be too excited, I did not delay the flight. I was not able to come back today, I forgot to tell you, because I was busy looking through the documents, I did not do it on purpose."
"Oh, so it's like that. It's fine. When will you be back?"
"I'll be back after I finish discussing this project. Yesterday, I changed my mind, so the company has to make some adjustments and sent me to stay here for a few more days."
Gu Qingyan was silent for a while, "Shengmei, I... Forget it, let's wait for you to come back. " Gu Qingyan touched the small box in his pocket. He had waited for eight years already, he was afraid that he would have to wait longer.
"Mm, then go home. If I come back, I'll call you. I'm going to talk about the project."
"Shengmei... You... "Come back early, I'll be waiting for you." Gu Qingyan was a little uneasy. He had the nagging feeling that An Shengmei's plan would change somehow this time, but there was nothing wrong with the beautiful voice. Maybe he was just overthinking it.
After hanging up, An Shengmei returned to her seat, "Boyfriend? "In such a hurry to answer the phone." Tan Yizhe asked indifferently.
"This is my private matter, Mr. Tan."
"After so many years, you have already forgotten your old friend. You even said that this is your second time meeting him. Have you forgotten about our past?" Tan Yizhe asked impatiently.
Was there such a thing as the past that she didn't want to remember? It was him who was injured, so why was she acting like this?
"Mr. Tan clearly said that it's our first time meeting each other. Mr. Tan's memory is really bad." An Shengmei replied indifferently. She did not want to be implicated with Tan Yizhe anymore.
When Tan Yizhe heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud, "An Shengmei, you have been speaking this way for so many years, and the arrogant nature of your heart has never changed."
An Shengmei paused, "Mr. Tan, we are talking about the project, please do not change the topic."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to fly back to Shanghai to see your boyfriend? He already started to think about it after being out for only a day? Your boyfriend is really sticky to you. But come to think of it, An Shengmei, what kind of magic do you have that could make so many boys fall for you? is it that Ruo Ruo's methods are good, or is it that you just let it go when you want it to, and you won't forget it? "
Tan Yizhe's lips curved in a taunting smile.
"Mr. Tan is saying that the famous person from back then was immediately dismissed by an insignificant little girl? But why do I feel that the great man is too arrogant and too self-righteous? " An Shengmei said expressionlessly.
It was similar to that rainy summer when the night lights were dim and the night wind blew away all traces of it. Now that he mentioned it again, it was only to hurt someone who couldn't forget it.
The first time An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe talked was on the second day of the first day, one Friday, after school.
An Shengmei's family lived in a small town, which wasn't very big, but they had met many times in the short span of an hour that they did not know each other.
At that time, the young girl was shopping around and the young man was walking around. To be able to run across so many of them within an hour, the young girl felt that fate was very strange, so she remembered the young man's confident, clean, and beautiful face.
When An Shengmei met Tan Yizhe for the fifth time in front of a coffee shop, the air was filled with the faint aroma of coffee. You? looked at Tan Yizhe, who was standing not far away from him, and smiled as he narrowed his eyes.
Tan Yizhe also looked at the girl he was familiar with. The sunlight shone on her brilliant smiling face, onto her shallow dimples, onto her fair face, and on her slightly skinny body, her figure was also very petite. She wore a square skirt, and her straight black hair softly rested on her shoulders, as if frozen for a moment. Tan Yizhe felt that this smile was like the winter sun, abnormally warm and moving.
"Are you following me?" An Shengmei's clear and sweet voice carried a playful smile.
Tan Yizhe also laughed, he turned and went into the coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee, then walked towards An Shengmei under the sunshine. When he stopped in front of the young lady, he discovered that he was a head taller than her. Looking at the young girl's fluffy hair that was smooth and glossy under the sunlight, he had an urge to touch her.
"Have we met before?" Tan Yizhe handed over the coffee.
An Shengmei was still smiling as she reached out to take the cup of coffee. Looking at the young man in front of him, she squinted her eyes and replied, "I won't tell you." After a pause, she said, "Thank you for the coffee." Then she turned and walked away. The air was filled with the fragrance of a young girl's hair and coffee. It was a sweet smell.
