"I'll prescribe you some side medicine later. It's also an ancestral prescription that speeds up your metabolism. Then if you exercise again, you'll lose weight in just a few months. Just keep exercising in the future."

Zhu Xiaobei looked at her speechlessly: "No, what does your family do? Why do you have so many secret recipes?"

"That's amazing. We have to start talking about it from the late Tang Dynasty..."

Wang Yan kept talking about trains and was teasing the two sisters. He took good care of them and didn't say anything to anyone. He was the one who accompanied these women to their confinement period. This was after these women got to know Wang Yan.

, the longest time we spent together, it lasted a whole month, and we were very happy to see Tian'er together.

People are like that. When they know that many things are extravagant wishes, it is easy to be satisfied. Just like Wang Yan, they can't let Wang Yan belong to just one person. Being able to have a month of company with him is particularly obvious.

He is very responsible and looks like a good man...

Spring comes and goes, flowers fade and bloom again. No one knows where the time has gone, except that the children have grown up, women have become more charming, and their careers have become more successful.

In the summer of 2003, Pukou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the area surrounding Longteng's headquarters.

Originally, the government wanted to set up a high-tech industrial park in Jianye District. However, in the nine years since its establishment, Longteng has gone from a small workshop with only a few dozen people selling herbal tea bags by hand to today's top spot among private enterprises, and it is also high-tech.

, of course the government was focused on Longteng. They simply made a big move and handed over the surrounding facilities to Future Real Estate. The remaining land was sold to some powerful real estate developers. In just a few years, it was still developing.

Pukou, which was not very good, has changed a lot. There are many high-rise buildings and there are many projects under development.

On the high floor of a new office building, in a large northeast-facing office, Zhang Zhang smoked a cigarette and frowned at the emails on his computer. Behind him, there was a wall of books. The books were of various kinds.

In addition, there are many books published on their website. The shelves on the other wall are filled with all kinds of figurines, all peripheral products of the novels. On the other side is a bright and clean floor-to-ceiling window, and outside is a building under construction.

High-tech Development Zone.

"Dong dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.

"Come in." He opened his mouth and greeted without raising his head.

After finishing speaking, the door of the office was pushed open, and a beautiful secretary wearing a hip-hugging skirt walked in: "Mr. Zhang, there is a gentleman downstairs who wants to see you. He did not make an appointment, but he said he is your classmate, named Chen Xiaozheng.

This is his business card."

Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, then took the business card handed over by the little secretary. After taking a look at it, he smiled and said to the secretary: "Bring him over."

Seeing the secretary leaving, he shook his head and smiled, stretched himself out, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, twisting his waist and hips to relax his body.

After a moment, the secretary came in with Chen Xiaozheng.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen is here."

Zhang Zhang turned around, looked at the face that had not changed much, and walked forward with a smile: "Azheng! Long time no see, long time no see, haha..."

Chen Xiaozheng's face didn't change much, but it also changed a lot, because his dead face showed a heartfelt laugh: "I really miss you these things. I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for five years. What you said back then

It really came true, Lao Zhang really became Mr. Zhang..."

"Hey, who among us is following whom? Are you talking about Mr. Zhang or Mr. Zhang? Come, sit down and talk." Zhang Zhang patted Chen Xiaozheng on the shoulder: "What do you want to drink? Tea, coffee? Or something like that?"

?”

“Coffee bar.”

"You hear me? Make me a cup of coffee and a pot of tea."

The little secretary nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhang." After saying that, he politely took two steps back, turned around and walked out.

Chen Xiaozheng was sitting on the sofa, looking at the graceful back of the little secretary who disappeared: "Being a boss is different. Is this a little secretary or Xiaomi?"

"What Xiaomi? It's just eye-catching to look at. I don't know which expert said that looking at beautiful women makes you feel happy. If you feel happy, you will live longer and maintain your health."

After looking at her with a wide smile, Chen Xiaozheng nodded: "It's really time to take care of yourself. I didn't even dare to recognize you when you came in just now. You're so skinny."

"This must be Director Wang's fault. Lao Wang is not a human being. He really doesn't care about anything. Look at the thousands of people under my command, isn't it that the burden is all on my head? I've been able to support him in the past two years.

Wow, you can find this, have you understood my situation before? In the previous period, when we didn't charge, in Lao Wang's words, I was about to die suddenly. In the month of charging, it was even more...

I couldn't sleep for a long time, and my hair fell out in handfuls. Do you think my hair looks good now?"

Zhang Zhang laughed and lifted up his hair: "It's fake! I'm all bald. I thought, this doesn't suit my identity, so I made this thing to keep myself bored."

"I asked about you before, and I heard that you are very famous. I was wondering how you would pretend to be cool with me when we meet." Chen Xiaozheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really didn't expect that you would show me the wig first when we met. Look at your wig."

Bald..."

"There's nothing to pretend. Those who know will know it. I can't pretend to others who don't know. Don't you know how awesome I am, why should I pretend to you?" Zhang Kai still had his trademark giggle.

He waved his hand and said: "Oh, you see my problem, I can't stop talking. Until now, I have always talked about me. Let's talk about you. You have changed a lot now. In the past, you always had a droopy face, as if someone owed you something.

You are like money. When you saw me just now, I didn’t even dare to recognize that big smile on your face.”

Seeing him pulling the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly, Chen Xiaozheng smiled and said: "Don't all people have to grow up? It's not like you don't know the conditions in my family. In the past, all I wanted was success, which meant breaking away from my original family. Now,

Although I’m not as good as you, I still managed it. I have nothing to worry about and no pressure on my body, so I will naturally relax.”

"Looking at what you mean, do you plan to leave?" Seeing the little secretary coming in with a tray, tea and coffee, he extended his hand to signal, and then continued: "Actually, I knew you had to come back before."

"Huh? How do you know?"

He took a sip of tea, took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case, and subconsciously smoked away. Remembering that Chen Xiaozheng didn't smoke, he took it back and lit one himself.

But he didn't want to, but he saw Chen Xiaozheng holding a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out the smoke skillfully. Seeing Zhang Zhang's surprise, he smiled and said: "I used to be under a lot of pressure and always stayed up late, so I slowly started smoking."

, for several years.”

He smiled widely and just had a cigarette. It was no big deal. He started to tell a story: "That was two years ago, right? It was the end of the millennium, so it was two and a half years ago. That time it was Xu Kaiyang who came to see me and Lao Wang

Dinner, at that time..."

He mentioned how he had met Xu Kaiyang and Zeng Yu together before, and talked about how Zeng Yu and Xu Kaiyang got to know each other during the dinner, as well as the past events between Zeng Yu and Chen Xiaozheng in the United States.

"We said at that time that you had to come back. Zeng Yu also said that when she left, you went to see her off and said this. Moreover, China has developed rapidly in the past two years, joining the WTO and successfully bidding for the Olympic Games.

We are building a building, but there is nothing in this area outside, right? It has only been five years, look at how far it has developed. You are still engaged in architectural design, so you should definitely come back to make money."

The bitterness on Chen Xiaozheng's face disappeared and he joked with a smile: "We all call this serving the country."

"I'm sorry you guys are like this." He opened his face with disdain and pointed casually out the window: "That's what you call serving the country."

Chen Xiaozheng looked in the direction of his finger and saw a large open space in the past, where a group of people the size of ants were busy. There were tower cranes and machines everywhere, and it was a large construction site that stretched far and wide.

Some buildings had already taken shape, with cornices and brackets, green tiles and gray walls, it was such a large building complex. Standing high, he could see everything. The entire building complex still attracted the water of the Yangtze River to flow through. It was full of ancient charm.

I felt extremely shocked, as if it was even more majestic than the Forbidden City, and a feeling of grandeur arose spontaneously.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I know, isn't that Lao Wang's handiwork? It is civilized at home and abroad. He won the Liang Sicheng Award the year before last and the Luban Award last year. They are the highest awards in the country. Some authoritative foreign awards also require

Give Wang Yan an award. In the end, Wang Yan said that foreigners don't understand Chinese architecture and are not qualified to award him awards. It's so crazy and awesome. What you said is correct. He is indeed serving the country. No matter how you say it, he is

They all vigorously promote traditional Chinese culture, and in terms of ancient architecture, no one in the country can match it."

Zhang Kai has been following Wang Yan for so many years, and he also knows what happened to Wang Yan. Is this crazy? Is this awesome? The more awesome one is still hidden and has never been exposed. Otherwise, why would he be so low-key? No

Are you pretending to be cool with Chen Xiaozheng? Isn’t it because there are role models above?

Of course he would not tell Chen Xiaozheng this, but just smiled and said: "Don't say that, I used to praise Lao Wang so much. He said that although he is indeed better at ancient buildings than many people, the main reason is

He built it. There are many masters of ancient architecture, experts and professors, but this is the only one that can build a large-scale physical building from scratch. Other people's buildings just stay on the drawings and cannot be built.

He is the most powerful." Kai Zhang waved his hand: "Look, it's Lao Wang again. Back to the topic, when did you come back? Who have you met?"

"It's been half a month since I came back. I haven't seen anyone. I just stayed in my hometown. My mother died the year before last. She was afraid that I would come back. She didn't tell anyone when she died. She let her relatives help take care of the funeral. She

I also asked my relatives to give me some information to help hide it from me. I was busy at that time, so I was deceived for half a year before I realized what happened. But by then it was too late, everyone was gone, and I didn’t come back.”

Chen Xiaozheng's eyes were a little sad, but he was smiling: "Actually, it's okay to leave. She feels relaxed, and so do I. It's just that she left too suddenly, and I didn't get to see her again when we arrived."

Zhang Zhang sighed, patted his shoulder to express comfort, and changed the subject: "Where do you plan to develop in the future? Is it in Jinling or somewhere?"

"There are only a few places in total, either in Jinling, or in Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, or Pengcheng. The specific ones haven't been decided yet. Let's talk about it later. I want to have a good rest."

"That's true. You have been studying hard these years and are determined to move forward. You really should take a break."

Chen Xiaozheng put out his cigarette, picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Yes, you also know that I don't have many friends. I just came to you. I want to catch up with you. But you are still so busy."

"No matter how busy I am, I won't be busy anymore if you, Zheng, come back to see me. I'll call Lao Wang later to see if he's in Jinling, and we'll have a drink together later. If he's not here, then the two of us will

Same thing. How about I call Xu Kaiyang over? Bring your old lover with you?"

"You're talking nonsense again, you're an old lover." Chen Xiaozheng asked, "Is Wang Yan so busy?"

"It's not like you don't know him. He was like that when he was in college. He never saw the end of a dragon. It can't be said that he is busy. Anyway, he was just idle all day long and didn't know what he was doing. Last time I saw him, he even took a child with him.

I was walking around, and I don’t know who he was with, but suddenly he appeared out of nowhere. I just happened to bump into him while passing by, otherwise I wouldn’t even know about it.”

"He's married? Haven't you heard?"

"Who said you have to get married if you have children?"

Chen Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject: "How are the others? We had a good time playing with you at the beginning. Have Ruan Wan, Zheng Wei and the others kept in touch over the years?"

Zhang Kai shook his head and said: "I just call occasionally, and I haven't seen him since I graduated. Mainly because I'm busy and don't have time. And now that I've graduated, I'm scattered all over the place, so even the best relationship has become estranged."

"You haven't organized any class reunions in these years?"

"Someone organized it, but Lao Wang and I didn't go. In addition, Ruan Wan and the others didn't make any move. I don't know what they are doing. What? You have returned home in glory, and you plan to have a homecoming in glory with your classmates?"

"No." Chen Xiaozheng shook his head and said, "I just thought that after five years, my classmates should all develop well. I want to stay in China to develop, so we can keep in touch and take care of each other."

"You're right. I haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't know what happened to these people." Zhang Zhang took out a cigarette and lit it, blew out the smoke, and thought for a moment, he said, "Just right, I
