Chapter 753: Time Is a Butcher's Knife
The sky is getting dark and the lights are on.
Walking on the bustling street, a song gradually sounded in my ears.
"If time, forget to turn around and forget to take something, will you still stop at the day when you said you love me...
I'm waiting for a minute, maybe the next minute I see your dodging eyes..."
Hearing this currently popular ballad, Li Dong unconsciously thought of someone.
Yuan Xue!
The time is about to enter July, and Yuan Xue had been on vacation for a long time.
But this year, Yuan Xue did not return to China, but still stayed in the United States.
When he heard the news, Li Dong realized that Yuan Xue had already made a decision.
She wants to continue studying abroad!
The exchange student time is over, Yuan Xue did not choose to return to the National People's Congress, but obtained the opportunity to continue her studies through her own efforts.
This kind of opportunity, in the eyes of others, is a happy event.
However, in Li Dong's view, some things are gradually drifting away from him, and time does not stop.
"I'm waiting for a minute, maybe the next minute I can feel your heartache too. I won't let the parting last forever..."
The singing continued, Li Dong sighed slightly, will the parting between him and Yuan Xue be forever?
Li Dong didn't know the answer, and maybe Yuan Xue didn't know either.
If Yuan Xue, Qin Yuhan, and Shen Qian were all ordinary people who admired Li Dong's money, then Li Dong should be able to enjoy the blessings of being equal.
It's a pity that they are not, they are all excellent women in the new era.
It is also the case that Li Dong's emotional life has become so turbulent, and it is also the case that these women make him unable to let go.
Walking slowly on the street, the flow of people gradually increased.
Li Dong walked aimlessly, and at some point, a familiar name came into view.
Dongyu Dessert House.
The moment he saw the dessert house, Li Dong suddenly wanted to go in, even though he knew that Qin Yuhan was still in the capital and not in the shop.
...
As soon as Li Dong entered the dessert room, the sharp-eyed store manager recognized him.
Seeing Li Dong's arrival, the store manager was a little panicked, and then hurried forward and said, "Mr. Li, you are here, I'll call the accountant right away..."
Seeing this, Li Dong chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, besides, do you think I will come to check the accounts?"
The store manager was a little embarrassed, and forgot how to answer the phone for a moment.
Li Dong didn't make things difficult for her, he smiled and said, "Are there any seats available? Give me a seat by the window, I want to sit for a while."
The store manager breathed a sigh of relief, nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I will lead you there."
When Li Dong was arranged to sit down, when he heard that Li Dong wanted a glass of juice, the store manager didn't need the waiter's help, so he hurried down to help prepare it.
Li Dong ignored her and sat by the glass window watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
After an unknown amount of time, when Li Dong was in a daze, someone behind him suddenly called softly, "Mr. Li."
Li Dong turned his head and took a look, and when he saw who was coming, Li Dong smiled and said, "Coincidentally, are you here to go shopping?"
Bai Su nodded, seeing Li Dong sitting here alone, he asked curiously, "President Li is waiting for someone?"
"No, just come here and sit down. Besides, you don't need to call me Mr. Li outside, just call me Li Dong."
As he spoke, Li Dong looked at the people around her and said, "Your friend?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Su replied, "It just so happened that I got off work.
Went out with a few friends to do some shopping. "
Seeing Bai Su and her friends standing beside her, Li Dong smiled lightly and said, "Are you busy? If you're not busy, sit down and have a drink together. I'll treat you tonight."
Bai Su was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"sit down."
Li Dong greeted and asked a few girls to order something.
After ordering, Bai Su introduced the girls around her, all of them were her friends, but they were not from Jiang University or people from far away, but Bai Su's former girlfriends.
Bai Su's house is in Pingchuan, not too far from the pedestrian street.
Usually after work, Bai Su always goes home to live, and tomorrow happens to be her shift, so she chooses to go shopping tonight.
Li Dong listened to her silently, but didn't answer.
Compared with when I first entered school, some things have changed a lot.
Back then in school, Bai Su was not so polite to him, and the two often fought against each other.
But when Bai Su went to work in a distant place, the hostile atmosphere at the beginning was gone, but because of this, there were a lot of differences among the former classmates.
From a classmate relationship to a superior-subordinate relationship, this change is done unconsciously.
I'm afraid that Bai Su back then never thought that there would be such a day. Time really can change a lot of things.
After drinking for a while, seeing that Li Dong didn't talk much, Bai Su thought for a while before bringing up the topic: "Li... Li Dong, do you still remember Li Wan?"
"Li Wan..."
It seems to be a very distant name, but in fact Li Dong has not been away from campus for too long, and this year is only two years.
Li Wan, Bai Su's roommate.
Without mentioning this name, Li Dong would have no memory of it. When Bai Su mentioned it, Li Wan's image would pop up in his mind.
Li Dong nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "Of course I remember, although I have aged a lot, I have not yet reached the stage of dementia."
Bai Su couldn't help laughing, and several of her friends couldn't help laughing either.
Seeing Li Dong remembered, Bai Su said: "Li Wan is in love."
Li Dong glanced at her. There should be no need to talk about this kind of thing.
"Her boyfriend is Yuan Qingfeng."
Li Dong was a little dazed, and it took a while before he laughed and said: "The fate of life is really unpredictable. There is really a lot of fate between our two dormitories. Fatty and Cheng Nan, Yuan Qingfeng and Li Wan..."
There is another pair that Li Dong did not mention, Xu Chen and Huang Shanshan.
This is a bad relationship, hurting others and hurting oneself, Xu Chen dropped out of school, Huang Shanshan went to another country, Li Dong didn't want to mention it at this time.
Bai Su obviously also thought of Huang Shanshan. Seeing that Li Dong was distracted, Bai Su didn't mention this topic, so she smiled and said, "Wanwan and Yuan Qingfeng have a very good relationship, and they are a good match. Yuan Qingfeng is going to take the civil servant exam, and Wanwan Wan is also preparing for the civil service exam.
The two have a lot in common, and I think they will be happy in the end. "
"Bless them, I also hope to see them happy."
Li Dong smiled and joked, "What about you? How are you with Li Tie?"
Li Tie was Li Dong's class monitor when he was in school and Li Dong's roommate. In order to pursue Bai Su, Li Tie almost turned on Li Dong.
It wasn't until Li Dong moved out of the dormitory that they had less contact with each other, and the two didn't turn heads.
However, because of this incident, the relationship between Li Dong and the people in the same dormitory became much weaker.
Until now, the only person Li Dong really keeps in touch with is Meng Qiping.
Even so, Li Dong and Meng Qiping haven't seen each other for several months.
Hearing Li Dong teasing herself, Bai Su blushed slightly, and then said a little annoyed: "I have lost touch with Li Tie for a long time, and besides, you were in school back then, we had no common language at all, and it was impossible for us to be together .”
"Understood, it seems that you are also a member of the Appearance Association. You women, you should pay more attention to the inner beauty of others..."
"Li Dong!"
Bai Su interrupted him, forgetting that the other party was his boss, and said angrily: "I don't have one! Besides, he has a girlfriend, okay, but you..."
Bai Sugang wanted to say that Li Dong himself belonged to the Appearance Association, but after thinking about it, he remembered that this guy was the boss, so he quickly stopped talking.
The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Seeing this, some of Bai Su's friends interrupted from time to time.
After about half an hour, Li Dong looked at the time and said, "Then I won't bother you with your shopping, we'll talk later when we have time."
Bai Su nodded and said: "Then you are busy with your work, I will take you out."
"No, I can go by myself, why are you being so polite to me outside?"
Li Dong waved his hand and walked out. The manager of the dessert house kept staring at him. Seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly followed him. He wiped his forehead and went back to the shop after sending it to the door.
Seeing Li Dong swaying away through the glass window, and seeing Tan Yong and others not far behind him, Bai Su was slightly relieved.
At this time, her girlfriends couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Susu, who was this just now? It sounds like your classmate, why did you call him Mr. Li at the beginning?"
As soon as this person finished asking, another girl next to her couldn't help but said, "Sasha, are you an idiot?"
The girl called Shasha was a little confused, and even angrily said, "Why am I an idiot?"
"It's no wonder you're an idiot! As soon as someone mentions their name, I know who it is. I dare not speak without looking at it. It's only you, a silly girl, who keeps asking questions. I thought you were doing it on purpose. To attract the other party's attention, I really don't know the relationship."
Sasha asked in confusion, "What do I know?"
The girl who spoke looked defeated, and turned to another girl, "Tingting, you should know, right?"
Tingting nodded and smiled: "Of course I know, it's too obvious. It's Susu's classmate, Mr. Li, and Li Dong. Don't you think I and Sasha are so stupid?
But having said that, I didn't know that Susu and Li Dong had such a good relationship before, Susu, you've been hiding the news quite deeply. "
Bai Su shook his head when he heard the words: "What are you hiding? Don't you all know what you should know? We just have an extra layer of classmate relationship. In fact, he didn't stay in school for long, and he didn't talk much when he was in school. He was very low-key. of."
"Really? What a pity. If I were in the same class as him, maybe I would be the wife of the richest man now." Tingting said with emotion.
It was only then that Sasha came to her senses and said in surprise, "Is that Li Dong? The richest man in Jiangbei?"
The other three looked at her with idiot expressions, your reaction speed is really fast enough.
After chatting for a long time, only then did you remember who the other party was.
Seeing this, Sasha didn't bother to fight back anymore, and said angrily, "It's over, isn't the question I just asked really stupid? I saw his attitude towards Susu, and thought he was deliberately indifferent to get Susu's attention. In the end, I even stabbed him a few times, but you didn't stop me."
"Who didn't stop you? When you were talking, we gave you winks many times. Well, if you insist on saying it yourself, blame us for not stopping you."
"That's right, the stupid girl is still so stupid after all these years."
"..."
After chatting for a while, they changed the topic to Bai Su.
Seeing them asking questions, Bai Su felt a little confused: "Don't ask, it's useless to ask. With his current status, you should save yourself.
And he has a girlfriend, so don't even think about it. "
"What a pity."
"What a pity, even if he doesn't have a girlfriend, it's not your turn." Bai Su couldn't help flashing the image of Huang Shanshan in his mind.
If Li Dong didn't have a girlfriend back then, would he and Huang Shanshan have become a couple?
Or... if I could have seized the opportunity...
Without daring to think deeply, Bai Su shook his head.
Since Li Dong's rise in Jiangbei, many girls in the class have regretted their intestines.
But it's useless to regret it, even if everyone pursued Li Dong in a rush, Li Dong might not be able to see them.
Having stayed far away for such a long time, and even worked as an assistant to the board secretary for a while, Bai Su knew Li Dong better than others.
This guy seems to be talkative, but in fact he is indifferent.
This kind of person is destined not to be with them, and even if they do, it won't last long. Bai Su sometimes wonders what kind of woman Li Dong will find to be his other half in the end?
Mr. Shen?
Or his first girlfriend?
