Jiang Lebai clicked on WeChat, and pointed to the news in the WeChat group of the Product R&D Department.

【Raymond: Are you free this weekend? Let's have a dinner together in our department. 】Raymond is Gu Wei's English name.

Just when Jiang Lebai finished reading the message and was about to look up at the other two, WeChat rang again.

Below Gu Wei's message, there was a reply from group activist Zhou Xiaoyu.

[Ai Weiyu: Brother Wei, I can do anything except Saturdays. 】

Jiang Lebai really admired Zhou Xiaoyu's immortal hand speed.

[Xiao Hei's colorful: I am free. 】

[Tang Tang does not eat sugar: wow~ I can improve the food again, happy. 】

[Ai Weiyu: Are you making fun of the poor food in the company in disguise? @唐唐不吃糖】After speaking, there is a naughty emoji package attached.

Jiang Lebai originally thought that Xiaohei's Wucaiyan was the UI designer of the department, but later he found out that Tang Yun's nickname was Tang Tang Bu Cang, and Xiaohei's Wucaiyan was Milo's WeChat name.

Everyone chattered and discussed...

Based on the opinions of many people, the dinner party was finally set at [-]:[-] pm on Sunday, and the specific location has not yet been determined.There are a group of people clamoring to eat hot pot, and some refute that it is too hot to eat hot pot in summer; some suggest eating Japanese food, and some think it is not enough to eat; It has been discussed for a long time and has not been settled.

In fact, everyone had already booked it for Friday night, but Ding Shenghe said in the group: "I can't participate in the dinner party on Friday night." The last sentence "You guys eat, I won't go." It hasn't been sent yet, The people in the group set the time on Sunday night in a noisy manner.

It's not that Ding Shenghe doesn't want to participate in department dinners. Although dinners will be difficult for him, a vegetarian fitness enthusiast who pays attention to his body, he still likes to get together with friends to enhance his relationship.Unfortunately, Ding Shenghe received a condolence call from his mother early in the morning on Monday. His mother, Ms. Sheng Rumei, told him that his mother's son is also Ding Shenghe's cousin Lu Jinyao, who will come to Hangzhou for a concert tour this weekend. So I will come to my house for dinner on Friday and ask him to go home.

In fact, he has no impression of this cousin. I heard that Ms. Sheng Rumei said that they played together when they were young, but that should be when he didn't remember anything.His mother's younger sister, Aunt Ding Shenghe, has been living in Chengdu, nearly [-] kilometers away from Hangzhou, and only had some contact during the Chinese New Year. After the death of his grandparents, he gradually lost contact with him, but his mother and his aunt The relationship between the two sisters has always been very close. Since his cousin is a guitar player, he is favored by Ms. Sheng Rumei, who is also engaged in artistic creation. Therefore, when his mother heard that Lu Jinyao was coming to Hangzhou, she tried her best to convince her. Lu Jinyao forced his cousin who had other dates to nod and changed his plan.

Ding Shenghe just promised his mother in the morning that it is not good to break the contract. He thought that he would go to his parents' house on Friday, so he would not participate in the dinner party. Anyway, it will be a long time in the future, and this meal is not bad. Unexpectedly, the dinner party was finally changed to Sunday Yes, this time is really weird.

Later, after several days of intense discussions, the minority finally obeyed the majority and decided on a place to eat, which was a home-cooked restaurant in a business district near the company.

In order to catch up with the progress before the dinner party, everyone seems to be energetic and motivated at work these days.

On Friday, Ding Shenghe got off work on time as usual and drove to his parents' house.

The traffic jam on the way to get off work was quite serious, and it took more than 50 minutes to drive all the way to the gate of the community.As soon as Ding Shenghe drove into the community, he received a urging call from Ms. Sheng Rumei. He didn't answer, but the ringing never meant to stop, and the second and third rings followed one after another.

In the end, he said helplessly to the other end of the phone, "Mom, I'll be right there." He opened the door.

It was already 06:30 when he entered, and he was facing Ms. Sheng Rumei who had just hung up the phone.

His mother is about to celebrate her 50th birthday, but she still has a delicate face and does not look old.Ms. Sheng Rumei is a folk music performer at the Hangzhou Song and Dance Theater. Because she often performs on stage, she has always paid attention to managing her figure and maintaining her face, so she looks no different from someone in her 30s. When she walks with her son on the road, others will think that They are a pair of brothers and sisters.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone!" Ms. Sheng Rumei's voice was a little anxious.

"Mom~ I'm driving, so it's inconvenient to answer the phone." Ding Shenghe hurriedly stepped forward to help his mother calm down.

"Think you forgot to go home tonight?" Sheng Rumei scolded.

"How is it possible? I rushed home non-stop after work, and the traffic jam was serious. I drove for nearly an hour, and I couldn't help it. Don't you see how far it is from my company to here? It's a distance away."

"Jinyao is also on the plane that arrived this evening, and she has been sitting there for a long time. The whole family is waiting for you."

The airport is much closer to home than when I came here, okay? Ding Shenghe secretly rolled his eyes.Turning his head, he found a young man wearing fashionable clothes and bangs covering his brows sitting on the sofa. He was looking at him with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.Noticing that Ding Shenghe noticed him, he got up and walked to Ding Shenghe to greet him.

"Cousin, I often hear my aunt talking about you. I'm Lu Jinyao, nice to meet you." He nodded slightly after speaking.

"Hello, my name is Ding Shenghe." After Ding Shenghe briefly introduced himself, he smiled at the other party.

"Jinyao, you've grown quite a bit, and you're even taller than Sheng He now. I still remember when you were running behind him when you were young, you were much shorter than him." Sheng Rumei sighed, looking at Lu Jinyao's eyes Closer than his own son.

"Mom, when did that happen?" Only then did Ding Shenghe notice that Lu Jinyao was really tall. At 1.8 meters tall, he was considered tall. Lu Jinyao stood in front of him without any slack, as if A little bit taller than him.Standing closer and taking a closer look, he found that Lu Jinyao was wearing a diamond stud earring with the letter N on his right ear, which looked radiant under the light of the living room.

"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold." Ms. Sheng Rumei urged from the side, and then shouted to the room, "Old Wei, come out to eat."

Ding Weiguo came out of the study wearing sandals. After taking off his suit and leather shoes, he no longer had the calm and capable chairman of the company.

"dad."

"Uncle."

The two juniors greeted Ding Weiguo together.

Ding Weiguo nodded. Although he looked down-to-earth in his home clothes today, he seldom smiled. He looked serious and serious, which made people feel a sense of distance. But Ding Shenghe also knew that his father valued him very much because he was old enough to have a son. His son.

The whole family sat down at the table.

Although it was the first time Lu Jinyao met relatives and elders, he was not stage fright at all.

Sheng Rumei asked with concern: "Jinyao, how long do you plan to stay here this time?"

Lu Jinyao replied with a smile on his face, "When the concert ends tomorrow night, I'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"In such a rush?" Sheng Rumei turned pale with shock, and then sighed with disappointment: "I thought it happened to be the weekend, so let Sheng He take you around."

"Auntie, no need, I have to train with my friends tomorrow, and I have some follow-up matters to deal with after the concert. This time I came here in a hurry, and I didn't buy any gifts. I will come to Hangzhou next time when I have a rest. Then stay here for a few more days and definitely come over for a formal visit.”

"Well, next time I come, tell my aunt in advance. This time, I knew from your mother that you were coming." Ms. Sheng Rumei said with a bit of resentment in her tone.

"Okay, okay, I will let you know before I come."

After hearing what Lu Jinyao said, Ms. Sheng Rumei changed the subject contentedly: "Jinyao, where are you performing tomorrow night?"

Lu Jinyao thought for a while and said, "The location seems to be a livehouse in the West Lake District."

"Oh, I know that place, it's not far from home, or you can stay at home tonight, anyway, Sheng He's room is empty and no one lives there, let Sheng He drive you there tomorrow."

"Thank you auntie for your kindness, but I have already booked a hotel with my friend for tonight." Lu Jinyao thought for a while and asked, "Cousin, are you not staying at home?"

"He, he lives outside by himself, and he doesn't know how long he will come home to see us." Ms. Sheng Rumei said, unable to hide her sadness.

"I usually go to work, so I don't have much time. Besides, I just came back last month to visit my elder brother. You always make video calls to me." Ding Shenghe defended.

"You still have the nerve to say, if I didn't pull you back tonight, and I don't know when the next time I will see you, and I didn't take the initiative to call you on the video call, would you still have the nerve to say it?" Sheng Rumei The more the lady talked, the more aggrieved she became.

"It's a waste of land and resources to live alone in such a big villa and not know how to find a girlfriend." Sheng Rumei muttered again as if she suddenly remembered something.

Ding Shenghe: "..."

His mother is indeed a person from the theater. These sad and sad accusations, the tone is just right, almost making Ding Shenghe think that his mother is really a weak and poor old mother who was abandoned by her own son. If he hadn't met Sheng Rumei, Ms. He Dongshi The shape of the hole.

"Jinyao, don't be like your cousin, he's a workaholic, and he hasn't even got a girlfriend back yet." Ms. Sheng Rumei pulled Lu Jinyao's child and said earnestly.

Ding Shenghe noticed that a slight embarrassment suddenly appeared on Lu Jinyao's originally calm face.

Lu Jinyao also glanced at Ding Shenghe and smiled at him.

"Eat well." In the end, Mr. Ding cut off the conversation that neither of the two young people wanted to continue.

After dinner, Lu Jinyao was in a hurry to meet up with his companions, and Ding Shenghe became the driver assigned by Ms. Sheng Rumei to take Lu Jinyao to his destination. Lu Jinyao couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.The two also added WeChat friends at the lady's instigation.

When going out, the night was dark, and Ding Shenghe happened to pass by the hotel where Lu Jinyao was staying on his way home, so it wasn't a detour.

"Cousin, what do you do now?" Lu Jinyao broke the silence as he got in the car.

Ding Shenghe replied: "Programmer."

"Sounds amazing." Lu Jinyao was a little surprised.

"It's nothing special, it's just a part-time job." Ding Shenghe turned the topic to the other party, "I heard from my mother that you are now forming a band by yourself. How long has it been?"

"It's been almost three years. I started running around when I was in college, and went to tour all over the country."

"pretty good."

"Well, it's okay. The band is not very famous now, so you probably haven't heard of it."

"what is it call?"

"Geometry Panda, have you heard of it?" Lu Jinyao asked.

Ding Shenghe vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen this name before, but he didn't have any impression, so he shook his head embarrassedly.

The two brothers chatted with questions and answers, during which Lu Jinyao bowed his head from time to time to reply to messages.At this time, it was getting closer and closer to the hotel, and soon the car drove to the door of the hotel, and a figure stood outside the door.

It was a handsome man in his 30s, and his figure gave off a mature and steady feeling when viewed from a distance.

"Cousin, thank you very much. I'm leaving, be careful on the road." Lu Jinyao said goodbye to him, and hastily unfastened his seat belt.

He got out of the car, closed the door, and waved at Ding Shenghe.

The man standing outside the door walked to Lu Jinyao's side.

Ding Shenghe started the car and drove away from the hotel. Through the rearview mirror, he saw two people talking familiarly at the door of the hotel, and then he seemed to see his cousin's hand being held.

He suspected that his eyes were dazzled, but when he tried to take a closer look, the two figures had disappeared from the rearview mirror.
