My girlfriend is from the future!

Regarding the close relationship with Cao Aiqing, He Tianran has never shy away from anything. In front of his own parents, even in front of the other's parents, even in front of outsiders, the girl explained the relationship when she did not return to the country. After returning to the country The two sides are natural and a matter of course. He has always given the impression that he treats this relationship like this.

The friends around him are generally aware of the state between him and Cao Aiqing, so there is no need to explain anything. In fact, after careful calculation, this is the first time in the past two months that he has put the relationship between the two parties on the table.

And in order to say this sentence, He Tianran has been waiting for four years.

The timing, the occasion, the smile of the parents, the sweet acquiescence of the lover, all the harvests obtained when these words were spoken out, slowly dispelled the suffering of the past four years, integrated into the heart, and turned them into an important thing for growth. nourishment……

He really fulfilled and fulfilled his original promise, and his heart at this moment is indescribably high-spirited.

At the beginning, when he said "Trust me once, let time prove everything", he didn't know what the ending would be...

But now, time has proved that he can.

he can really...

However, what followed was a short-lived...a sense of slack and trance.

It's like a person who ran a marathon and finally reached the finish line. After experiencing the baptism of joy, he will be at a loss for a while. He doesn't know whether to continue running or stop.

But no matter what, he is now victorious, and he deserves to enjoy the taste of this success.

"Xiao Cao, uncle blesses you all, you are all good boys, you are better than..."

He Panshan paused, his eyes subconsciously glanced at his ex-wife, then he raised his wine glass and said with a smile:

"Better than me, come, have a drink with uncle."

"Uncle He...you are praised."

Cao Aiqing was flattered, and hurriedly had a drink with the elder respectfully.

She doesn't drink well, and she was afraid that she would lose her composure and get drunk on such an occasion, so she held up the glass with both hands and put it to her lips, and took a small sip cautiously, during which she also squinted at the wine in He Panshan's glass. How much I drank, I wondered if it would be bad if I drank less.

He Panshan noticed her observing eyes, smiled lightly, and only drank a little symbolically, put down the cup, and teased:

"Xiao Cao, actually when I first met you back in college, I thought you looked like Wenyu..."

The old man looked at his ex-wife and asked deliberately:

"What do you think?"

Bai Wenyu took out the napkin on the table, nodded her lips, and asked indifferently:
"What impression was not important before, what about now?"

He Panshan shook his head slowly, opened his lips slightly to say a simple answer of yes or no, but stopped suddenly, looked at his son and his lover, restrained his relaxed expression, and asked seriously:
"Xiao Cao, I heard that you received an offer from the company you wanted when you were in the UK, but it seems that you rejected it and chose to return to China after graduation... Is it because of nature?"

Hearing his father asking such a question, He Tianran suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but only heard Cao Aiqing deny softly in his ear:

"No, uncle."

He Tianran was taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at his lover. The people sitting there were very quiet. The girl was silent for a moment, her eyes were bright and deep. While sorting out her thoughts, she said:
"I regard Tianran as my lover. Under this identity, he is not simply labeled as rich, poor, handsome, or director, but even so, there will eventually be some realistic 'gap' between us.

Just like what you discussed with Nature just now, the title of a program wants to sell 300 million, and the production cost of [-] million is said to be a small amount of money. It’s as simple as a waste of time. These common and common things Dialogues all reflect the existence of this 'gap' between me and nature..."

"Ai Qing..."

He Tianran didn't expect that the chat just now would bring such a impression to the other party. He called his lover's name with a little worry, and the girl looked at him tenderly, shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

She continued:

"Uncle, my family is more or less a wealthy family. My father has positions in the city museum and the University of Hong Kong. He is quite well-known in the archaeological circle. My mother is a self-media and writes freely. She is also happy at leisure. The two of them Over the years, I have accumulated a little wealth to support my study at UCL in the UK. However, the annual tuition fee of the Bar School I am studying at is 50 pounds. If the living expenses, accommodation fees, tuition and miscellaneous fees are added together and converted together, there will be about [-] pounds a year. Ten thousand RMB.

50 a year is not an unaffordable figure for my family, but it is definitely not a small sum either.

This number is the number that my dad would frown slightly when I chat with my parents. Before I went to the UK, this is also a number that I can actually accept in my life. When I was in high school, I naturally talked to me about what you just talked about, even if I was still listening, I would feel a little...

Gaps, distances, or in other words, this is a kind of 'gully' between me and nature.

At the beginning, I could have been with nature without any worries, but in this reality, it must not be as simple as the light sentence "they lived a happy life ever since" at the end of a fairy tale.

The love between Silly Baitian and the rich son is always the best before marriage.

The princes and princesses in fairy tales don't necessarily understand what will happen next.

But we, as the protagonists in reality, must understand that when I chose to study abroad, I essentially wanted to improve my quality of life and give me more choices, because I believe that when I improve my experience and cognition , vision, I will be able to better integrate into the natural life, even if we are not in the same industry, but with my ability, the people and things, things and feelings I can come into contact with will definitely not be far away from him far.

Furthermore, Uncle, you asked me if I came back to China for the sake of nature. Of course it has something to do with him, but it’s not all. My parents paid for me to study and pursue my dreams. I don’t think they want to see me give up my future for someone else. , making a move like moths to a flame to make them worry.

But in my heart, career is important, dreams are important, and love is equally important, so when I return to China, it is not so much what I gave up, but rather that it took me these four years to achieve something so confidently.

Design work can also be done in China, and the way to realize dreams is not only in London, but my love can only be found in Hong Kong City. "

Everyone listened to Cao Aiqing's leisurely words, He Tianran was still feeling emotional, and at this moment Cao Aiqing finally looked at him lightly, the contours of the faces of the two were reflected in each other's pupils, the girl's tenderness Ten thousand kinds, whispered the last sentence:
"Love is not the whole of life, but you are the only one in my life."

Back to the original question, is Bai Wenyu similar to Cao Aiqing?

In terms of these life choices, the former has gone through thousands of sails, and she replied that it is not important.

The latter, on the contrary, she says, are both important.

What made these two seemingly similar women give completely different answers?
Is it age?Is it experience?Or... a lover?

The meal was finished in such a harmonious and sweet atmosphere, but the two elders were a little silent, thinking about something.

After dinner, He Panshan received a call, probably from Nanshan Jiadi. After answering, he stood up, changed into the formal clothes he wore when he came, and asked his son to accompany him to the community alone.

After 5 minutes, the two went downstairs. He Panshan looked around to observe the environment of the community, and He Tianran followed him. They walked to the artificial lake in the community and heard their father say:
"Not long ago, the company took a piece of land in the seaport area. How much it can take is the ancestral shadow left by your grandfather to our grandfather. I want to turn that land into a high-end community. I originally wanted to hand it over to you. Yes, but you have been very busy these few years, so I thought about leaving this matter to Yuan Chong, what do you think?"

He Tianran was taken aback, and asked:
"Then... what about his original job in the company?"

He Panshan shook his head and replied:
"Didn't he keep complaining that I didn't give him something to do? It just so happens that this thing can train him for a few years. One of you two brothers has entered into film and television entertainment, and the other has entered into real estate development. It's great that you each perform your duties."

"..."

He Ranran remained silent, but many thoughts welled up in his heart.

Doing film and television by yourself seems to have nothing to do with the Internet industry in Shanhai, but in fact the connection here is very deep. You must know that almost all the financial backers who invest in some film and television dramas are from the Internet IT industry, just like the one in the lunch room just now. Like those I talked about, the combination of these two industries can be said to complement each other.

But real estate development...

To be honest, everyone can see that Kai He Panshan does not intend to work across industries. It is good for He Yuanchong to make achievements in this area, but it is not good for He Panshan if he cannot do it. It's such an important event.

What's more, this industry has nothing to do with the He family's main business now. Let He Yuanchong do this. An appropriate metaphor for He Tianran's feeling is...

The fiefs sent to the royal family in ancient times away from the center of power?

He Panshan smiled and asked:

"Speaking of which, you can arrange for Ai Qing to invite bids for architectural design in the future. By the way, when will your Zhuguang Lane base be renovated?"

"Ai Qing told me that there are still two months left, take your time. After the broadcast of "The Wilderness in Your Heart", the company's team must expand, and all workstations and interior design must be re-planned. I am thinking about the company's operations, business, After publicity, these colleagues should stay in the Shanhai Building to work, so that business can also be connected in the future, and Zhuguang Lane is full of staff from the production department."

Cao Aiqing hasn't looked for a job yet after returning to China, but at the request of He Tianran, she planned a new set of interior design for his company. This is the most important job for the girl now. Now the employees of the film and television company have temporarily gone to Shanhai Technology building office.

He Panshan nodded, agreed with his son's proposal, and joked:

"Now you own a production company and a brokerage company, and there are hundreds of people in total. If you grow stronger in the future, you can go to your brother to discuss and rent an office building to take care of his business. By the way, let him I will give you a family price."

He Tianran was also happy, and said with a smile:
"Is it interesting to change the left hand for the right? What is in my hand is in his hand, after all, it's not yours."

"Hey~ it's all mine...well..."

The old father subconsciously touched his pocket, took out an empty pocket, and looked at his son. The son also spread his hands and shook his head.

"Really quit?"

"of course."

"I thought you kid was trying to make other girls happy, so you won't last long."

"Since you want the girl to be happy, you must give some sincerity. I have always exchanged my sincerity for my sincerity."

The father and son found a bench and sat down. The night breeze was cool and pleasant. There were many families of three in the community. Old and young went downstairs for a walk. A little boy sat on the shoulders of a young father. Father and son walked by.

He Panshan's eyes followed their backs for a while, and when he looked back, he said earnestly:

"Son, what Xiao Cao said just now has changed my view of you. You should find a chance and thank you very much."

"Ah? Shouldn't you have a new impression of Ai Qing? Why are you still targeting me?"

He Tianran was puzzled for a moment, his father explained slowly:
"There are indeed changes, but more importantly, I am grateful to her for allowing me to see another side of my son."

"I...didn't do anything when I was eating just now."

He Panshan shook his head:

"Naturally, do you know that some people we felt untouchable when we were young, the so-called white moonlight and red roses, many times we see them many years later, and they may not be as beautiful as before. It's easy to change, and after your life has been climbing, it may get worse.

Because we are no longer who we were yesterday. When you were introverted, shy, and reticent when you were a teenager, it is very normal for you to be shocked when you meet a kind girl like Ai Qing.

Originally, I thought that your love for her would gradually fade after you built up your self-confidence due to a change in personality, success in your career, and you don't need to rush to deny it. This is normal and very human. After all, when you When walking on this road, some of the opposite sex you meet in the future may not be worse than Xiao Cao.

You can imagine, if what you liked at the beginning was not Ai Qing, but the little girl who actively pursued you when you were in college, Bai Lingye who helped you succeed in your last film and let you officially start your career as a director. Xiao Wen, who is compared to the weeds in front of the mountain, I think any of them, if they get close to you and like you at that time, they will leave a place in your heart as important as Xiao Cao. "

He Tianran stared at his father, saying every word, "But none of them are Ai Qing."

"That's right, none of them are Xiao Cao, and I seem to have underestimated you two, so that now I can't give you any life advice."

He Panshan was rarely submissive to his son, with a low tone and a self-deprecating expression, He Tianran was a little surprised for an instant.

"Son, I don't know if you realize that what Xiao Cao said just now was only about yourself, and the so-called 'gap' between the two of you cannot be bridged by her alone. And it was she who went abroad to study, and she gave you a chance to prove yourself during the few years when you didn't confirm your relationship.

This may even be ignored by yourself, and your waiting may be for loyalty and commitment, but in the eyes of others, there are undoubtedly other equally precious things behind this behavior.

Xiao Cao is a very, very smart person, especially after what she said today, I am even more sure that the reason why she has not established a relationship with you in the past few years is that she tested you and definitely helped you. "

"...helped me?"

He Ranran muttered to himself, the old father smiled when he saw this, raised his finger and tapped his son's forehead.

"At least in this matter, I saw that my son is different from me, from most people, and if you could be together early, I probably wouldn't be able to see this. She...helped you improve yourself , let me see another side of my son."

His father's words reminded He Tianran of what Wen Liang said to him on New Year's Eve——

She didn't want to kill an idealist.

Wen Liang had only known him for half a year before he could say such a thing, so what about Cao Aiqing?
One year in high school, four years in college, and another four years studying abroad. What does she want to do with such a pair of souls who understand each other tacitly?

Maybe, using what she said just now, it is——

She wants to be an idealist.

"It's time to tell you a secret, son."

Just when He Tianran was lost in thought, He Panshan suddenly seemed to be playing around, and suddenly said this sentence.

"……what?"

"Do you know why your mother and I are in peace now, and she will even come back to China to help you?"

Because of those words just now, He Tianran was still immersed in his own thoughts. Now his mind is in a mess, so he can only rely on some common sense to say:
"Although you are divorced, you still have some feelings. After all, I am her son. Isn't it normal for her to come back to help me?"

He Panshan shook his head: "You are only half right. There are not only emotions in life. You should learn from Xiao Cao on this point."

"That's...why? It's impossible for you to hire my mother back to China to help me manage the brokerage company for me. This is even more unrealistic."

"Is this unrealistic? Then let me tell you something even more unrealistic..."

He Panshan lowered his voice, he wanted to maintain a joking and relaxed tone, but to He Tianran, the next sentence was like a thunderstorm in his heart——

"Although my relationship with your mother has already existed in name only, but from a legal point of view, she and I... are still husband and wife, and we are not divorced."

"Varied……"

He Ranran was shocked on the spot, his mind went blank, and he couldn't say anything...

The old man glanced at his son's expression, there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes, but he still had some thoughts to joke:

"Heh... son, you majored in finance as an undergraduate. You should know what it means to divorce a couple who are the founders of a company of Shanhai's size."

Naturally, He Tianran knows that this is part of the division of common property, and the equity division included here is often very difficult to deal with because it involves the stability of the company's control rights, shareholder structure, and other shareholders' rights and interests. complex.

It is not that Shanhai has no other shareholders, but there are only two founders at the beginning, one is He Panshan and the other is Bai Wenyu. In the early stage, one of them is in charge of technology and the other is in charge of business.

At the beginning, He Tianran's grandfather was not optimistic about his son's involvement in the emerging industry of Internet IT, but if Bai Wenyu hadn't come forward to guarantee, Shanhai might not even be able to pay for the initial lease of office space and the purchase of work computers, let alone develop into what it is today. scale.

"When your grandfather invested in me, he made a condition that half of the equity in the company belonged to Wenyu. This was a dowry gift from the old man. Although after so many rounds of investment over the years, the equity has been diluted. But son, guess, why am I still the actual person in charge of Shanhai? When your mother left, why didn't you take a cent of the company?"

Prior to this, He Tianran always believed that Bai Wenyu would return to China every few years, even back to Jiadi in Nanshan. Tao Wei ignored this. Why did He Panshan accept He Yuanchong generously? Because of the emotional ties to each other, although a broken mirror cannot be reunited, it is better than a broken pot.

But after hearing the facts now, He Tianran recalled and examined these behaviors again, and found that among these not-so-happy memories, there were many "gulls" hidden in the details of his parents' lives...

"Then Aunt Tao..."

"Maybe it's because she feels that she owes me something with Yuan Chong by her side..."

He Panshan sighed, he and Bai Wenyu only had the name of husband and wife, but they broke up their relationship.

And Tao Wei, although they lived in harmony these years, they couldn't give each other a real name...

"..."

He Ranran remained silent. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he found it, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was full of absurd rationality...

Finally, he lowered his head and murmured in a low voice:
"Why is this so?"

"Because, this is life."

He Panshan patted his son on the shoulder, he stood up, and said earnestly:

"Xiao Cao's appearance has made me see a different you in the past few years. In this respect, you are better than your father, but son, I hope you can remember the person who fulfilled his promise today. Own.

After the knight waited for the princess for 99 days and showed his noble character, does it mean that everything is over?

No son, you remember, waiting is not a result, on the contrary, after waiting, it means the beginning. "(end of this chapter)
