Chapter 2403 Two Raindrops

Lin Bai didn't expect that the once high-spirited beauty would end up in such a miserable situation. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, he is in Hangzhou. We meet often."

"What?" Luo Yiren didn't expect it to be such a coincidence and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At the same time, Lin Bai's cell phone rang. It was Zheng Qiudong calling. He showed it to Luo Yiren.

Luo Yiren didn't want Zheng Qiudong to know that she had come to Hangzhou, so she asked Lin Bai not to tell Zheng Qiudong first.

After Lin Bai answered the phone, he found out that it was Zheng Qiudong who had returned from a trip. He brought him gifts and invited him to visit Deren.

Lin Bai naturally agreed without hesitation, but when Zheng Qiudong asked him to have dinner together in the evening, he looked at Luo Yiren sitting opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and declined the invitation on the pretext that he had plans in the evening.

Zheng Qiudong said, "Hey, I saw a report about Xia Jiguo's case in the newspaper, and Luo Yiren was mentioned, saying that she was not involved in the Xia case and had already been released. You also said that you saw her at the International Trade Center. Do you think the news is reliable?"

"Brother, the news in the past two years is quite accurate. There is no smoke without fire, for sure. I have something else to do here, let's talk later."

Zheng Qiudong felt that Lin Bai was acting strangely on the phone just now, so he said, "It's inconvenient to say it earlier. I'm hanging up now!"

Lin Bai looked at Luo Yiren across from him and said, "He just came back from Taiwan."

Luo Yiren said: "He seemed to have mentioned me?"

"Yes, he saw the report on Xia Jiguo's case in a Taiwanese newspaper, and you were mentioned."

Luo Yiren sighed and said, "What a coincidence, he is in Hangzhou, how can I find him? Don't tell him that I am in Hangzhou."

Lin Bai said: "Even if you didn't say the last sentence, I would still do it. In fact, it's very easy to find him. He founded a headhunting company, Deju Renhe, or Deren for short."

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, if you want to find Zheng Qiudong, there is an easiest way, which is to ask Zhao Shucheng. He actually knew that Zheng Qiudong was in Hangzhou a long time ago, even before I met Zheng Qiudong."

Luo Yiren was stunned for a moment after hearing this and said, "You said he knew it a long time ago?"

"Yeah, I knew it a long time ago. When we met at the airport, he said I would have a surprise when I came here, but I didn't expect it to be Zheng Qiudong."

Luo Yiren fell into deep thought for a moment. After all, why did Zhao Shucheng care about Zheng Qiudong's whereabouts for no reason? He found Zheng Qiudong when no one else knew where he was, but didn't tell her.

Lin Bai also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and said: "You have your own opportunities, no need to say more. And I think Zhao Shucheng may not want anyone to disturb Zheng Qiudong, so he didn't tell anyone."

Luo Yiren forced a smile and said, "Thank you for telling me this!"

After Luo Yiren separated from Lin Bai, she thought a lot in the room, sometimes about Zheng Qiudong, but more about Zhao Shucheng. She tried to guess why Zhao Shucheng knew so much, why he didn't tell her where Zheng Qiudong was, and what Zhao Shucheng thought of her.

But in the end she figured it out. Since Zhao Shucheng didn't say anything, she would ask him in person when she met him.

Now that she knew Zheng Qiudong's whereabouts, and Zheng Qiudong's situation was similar to hers, she decided to meet Zheng Qiudong as a farewell to her past self and start a new life.

When she arrived downstairs at Zheng Qiudong's company and prepared to visit him, she saw Zheng Qiudong talking with someone. He was completely different from the person who was a little reserved in Beijing before.

She followed Zheng Qiudong all the way to the outside of Deren's office. When she was about to leave, she passed by Xiong Qingchun who was coming back from outside.

Xiong Qingchun looked at Luo Yiren's back and always felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Roy stopped in the hall and hesitated for a long time, wondering whether he should call Zheng Qiudong and meet him.

In the end, she decided to meet him, but at this moment, she felt the same way as Zheng Qiudong felt when he saw her. She also understood better the frustration and discomfort Zheng Qiudong felt when he asked her for help when he was blackmailed.

Ever since Xiong Qingchun saw Luo Yiren's back, he has always felt uneasy. His right eyelid kept twitching, so he asked Zheng Qiudong to help him put eye drops in.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. It was a woman calling Zheng Qiudong.

Xiong Qingchun hit Zheng Qiudong and said, "Looking for you."

Zheng Qiudong was stunned for a moment after receiving the call, which made Xiong Qingchun mistakenly think that he wanted to discuss serious matters, so he walked out on his own initiative.

But when he saw Zheng Qiudong hung up the phone and walked out in a hurry, he suddenly felt that the call was unusual and followed him quietly.

Zheng Qiudong didn't know that Xiong Qingchun was following him, so he ran out in a hurry, ran all the way downstairs, and saw Luo Yiren sitting on the sofa in the hall.

Luo Yiren also saw Zheng Qiudong. After traveling thousands of miles to meet each other, they were both a little excited. Luo Yiren took the initiative to hug Zheng Qiudong, but Zheng Qiudong was at a loss.

The scene of the two people hugging each other happened to be seen by Xiong Qingchun who followed Zheng Qiudong down. He also recognized that the woman was Zheng Qiudong's ex-girlfriend Luo Yiren in his computer, so he could only pretend to be calm and go back.

Zheng Qiudong looked at Luo Yiren and said, "Where do you start? Are you free?"

"I want to fly over, so I'll fly over. What do you think?"

Zheng Qiudong said: "You are free, that's great. You are in such a good spirit."

After hearing this, Luo Yiren smiled and said, "You are not bad either. Your temperament is completely different from when you were in the capital."

After the two sat down, Zheng Qiudong couldn't help but ask, "I saw the news online. Were you implicated in Xia Jiguo's incident?"

"Ok!"

"How long have you been in there?"

Luo Yiren said: "Stop talking!"

"You've suffered?"

"No, we interrogated for a month and found nothing, so we turned it into a joint investigation."

Zheng Qiudong nodded and said, "Is it true that you and he are not married?"

Luo Yiren said, "No, after I met him, he did pursue me for a long time, and this legend has always existed. I tried to explain it at first, but later I was too lazy to explain it." Zheng Qiudong nodded and said, "Is that so? Then how did you get it from... I asked something, but my brain suddenly short-circuited and I didn't know what to ask. Ah, how did you know I was here?"

"I know that even if you are in such a bad situation, you will not change your name, so it is not difficult to find it."

Zheng Qiudong said, "Looking for?" Only then did he realize that Luo Yiren appeared here specifically to find him.

Luo Yiren nodded and said, "Yes! A special trip."

Zheng Qiudong said: "It's not convenient here, let's go to another place!"

Luo Yiren said: "It's up to you, no one knows me anyway."

But her heart told her that Zheng Qiudong was unwilling to chat with her downstairs in the company building. He was either trying to avoid talking about his previous experience or he didn't want someone to know.

After the two of them arrived at the place chosen by Zheng Qiudong, Luo Yiren asked curiously:

"Now it's my turn to ask you, how are you doing lately? Compared to the employment agency that was closed before you went in?"

Zheng Qiudong said with emotion: "It's much better. The company's sign finally has the words 'human resources'. At least I can be considered a headhunter."

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "Luckily, I have met a serious headhunter."

"It's been a long time since we last met. You should encourage me."

"Encouragement, I do encourage it. I have really seen a lot of headhunters, just like in the clouds, the George Clooney style. The high-end ones are dying, the low-end ones are flying all over the country, and the high-end ones are flying all over the world. Those people are not even half as good as you."

As Luo Yiren spoke, she thought of Zhao Shucheng, who was also a headhunter and had started from scratch. He was now preparing to raise funds for listing, while Zheng Qiudong was just getting started.

Zheng Qiudong had no idea what Luo Yiren was thinking, so he said, "That's exaggerated. It seems like you've always been encouraging me since we met in 2004."

"Isn't it good to praise it?"

Zheng Qiudong looked at Luo Yiren and said, "But things are different now. You are the one who needs encouragement."

"Shh!" Luo Yiren said, "Don't say such sympathetic words. I'm afraid of the sense of distance. You know."

Zheng Qiudong had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "How is your company doing now?"

Luo Yiren said, "It has nothing to do with me anymore. I just sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, and quietly watch the flowers bloom and fade. It's really a sudden disaster. Everything is gone in the blink of an eye. It's gone the same way it came. It seems to have died on its own. What's slightly better than you is that I still have the courage to attend parties and meet acquaintances."

"That's great!" Zheng Qiudong looked at Luo Yiren with some admiration and said, "This courage is invaluable. What are you going to do in the future?"

Looking at the silent Luo Yiren, Zheng Qiudong laughed at himself and said, "Is this question stupid?"

Luo Yiren shook her head and said, "I'm not stupid. In fact, I know what I'm going to do in the future. I think you understand it too, but I should still ask you seriously, what am I going to do in the future? I came to Hangzhou just to discuss this with you."

Zheng Qiudong didn't expect Luo Yiren to say this, and was also calmed by her implication, but he could only say: "You have the experience of being the chairman of Zhongbao Media, you have a broad vision and experience, and you should decide what to do in the future. In short, I will spare no effort to help you if I can!"

Luo Yiren didn't expect to hear such words from Zheng Qiudong. She thought that Zheng Qiudong would have a different answer after knowing that she was coming.

At this time, Xiong Qingchun sent a message to Zheng Qiudong, saying that he had made an appointment with Xiao Jia to go for a spa treatment in the evening and gave him a free night.

Zheng Qiudong, who was chatting with Luo Yiren, couldn't care about so many things, but Luo Yiren heard the sound of Zheng Qiudong's phone and reminded him to check. Zheng Qiudong simply turned the phone over and pretended not to see it. Luo Yiren reminded him again that there might be something important. Naturally, she also heard the voice message sent by Xiong Qingchun to Zheng Qiudong, and suddenly fell silent.

"At first I thought that you must have changed a lot after not seeing you for so long, whether you've started a family or are still single, whether you've become rich or are still living on the streets. I should have figured all this out before deciding whether to come and look for you."

Zheng Qiudong said, "Do you need to think so much about meeting me? A literary young woman, don't you just do it when you think of it?"

Luo Yiren said, "Anyone who has been a boss must be worldly-wise. Maybe I was locked up in there and became stupid. In the end, I didn't think about anything, didn't prepare anything, and just came all of a sudden, knocking on the door and asking for a meeting. Whatever happened, it was okay. I loved whoever I wanted."

"Actually, before I came here, I met Lin Bai first. He told me how to find you."

Zheng Qiudong was a little surprised and said, "Really? Why didn't this guy tell me?"

"Don't blame him. I told him not to tell you. I didn't ask him about your situation. I knew nothing about it. Just like that time when we were at the Tianfang Club in Beijing, I turned around and saw you. Everything was so real."

"They are all very real, and they all scared me. How long do you plan to stay in Hangzhou?"

Luo Yiren looked at Zheng Qiudong's phone and said, "I can't stay too long. When Zhong Huailan comes back from Yiwu, we will go back to Beijing together. By the way, are you married?"

Zheng Qiudong lowered his voice and said, "Just getting ready!"

Royren didn't expect her guess to come true. At that moment, she felt so sad that she heard something breaking. She picked up the coffee to ease the emotions in her heart, but choked because of her restlessness.

She hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little surprised. By the way, when is the wedding date? I will definitely come to support you then."

Zheng Qiudong mustered up the courage to look at Luo Yiren and said, "Actually, the person I'm going to marry, as you know, is the one who blackmailed me in the capital. When I was in the valley, I borrowed the money from you."

Luo Yiren nodded and said, "Of course I remember! This is just like a movie. You are not trying to use someone's weakness to make him pay off his debt with his body, are you?"

Zheng Qiudong said, "When I first came here, life was difficult. She also worked in an employment agency, and she came to me and opened a small employment agency with me. Later, her boyfriend left her, and she was so pitiful. We can be said to have the same fate. No matter how you look at it, she was my best choice at that time. If we talk about debts, I still owe you more. As for thanks, I won't say it, but..."

"Alas, there are some things I dare not think about, dare not recall, and dare not look forward to. We must be the kind of enemies described in ancient books, right?"

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "We, we are just like what Lu You said, wrong, wrong, wrong, no, no, no. We are two drops of rain that collided with each other while falling and became one drop, and finally fell on the eaves and became two drops, flowing away with the water on the ground. No one has anything to do with anyone else."

Zheng Qiudong felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. In fact, he had no way to forget Luo Yiren, but he also couldn't bear to part with Xiong Qingchun, the woman who had struggled with him.

"I was cleaning the house a few days ago and found the book Norwegian Wood. I haven't even finished reading it yet. You gave me that book when I was a freshman. It's been nine years, and this book has been to every place I've been to. It's amazing to think about it. It's like a fortune-telling stick for both of us, and it says there will be no result."
