1987 My Era

Chapter 257: Girl chases boy, and they show off to each other (please give me a monthly ticket!)

"I'm a big fan of breakfast. I won't go if it's below the standard of the Blue Sky Hotel. Do you have enough money in your pocket?" Li Heng asked, raising his eyelids.

Lao Fu patted his pockets and said fearlessly, "The Blue Sky Hotel is the Blue Sky Hotel. You can eat as much as you want, kid. All you can eat!"

Facts have proved that as long as he can have a good meal, nothing can stump Li Heng. The two of them chattered as they walked to the Pentagon Square.

"Reform and opening up have been called for many years. I have been back for seven or eight years, but I feel that there haven't been many changes here." Lao Fu looked around and said with emotion.

Li Heng said: "The frontier of reform and opening up is in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, but don't worry, I think the wind will soon blow here. If you don't believe me, just wait and see, in a few years, there may be major changes in the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

Lao Fu was surprised: "You are always in the study, why are you paying attention to these things?"

Li Heng raised his neck and said calmly, "How does the saying go? Planning in the tent can lead to victory thousands of miles away. I read the newspaper every day."

Lao Fu corrected him with a smile: "It would be more accurate to say 'A scholar knows everything about the world without leaving home'."

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? My talent as a scholar cannot reflect my talent for writing. I will do great things in the future."

Lao Fu was so angry that he wanted to beat him up: "You are already a famous writer, and you want to do something bigger than this?"

"Of course, I'm just a beginner. My identity as a writer is not enough for them to accept me." Li Heng said something that only he could understand.

Lao Fu was confused. He suddenly reached out and pulled his sleeve, whispering, "Right, look at the woman wearing sunglasses on the right. My sixth sense tells me that she is looking at us."

Li Heng looked in the direction he was looking, a little confused. Did he see a ghost today?
Or did you not check the almanac before going out?

I met Aunt Shen Xin before, so can I meet Huang Zhaoyi at the Pentagon Plaza?
A high-quality khaki long trench coat, a pair of short boots under the silky long legs, the tan hair is tied up, which looks very capable, the big earrings and the white collar with hollow patterns give people a refreshing feeling, which is a big plus, fashionable, beautiful and atmospheric!
A 20cm ruler can be easily inserted without using much force, and you can tell at a glance that the fruit is cooked.

The only pity is that the sunglasses cover the eyes.

However, compared to before, today's sunglasses are more than one size smaller. The tall and small nose is like a carefully carved work of art, with a strong three-dimensional sense.

"This woman's nose is so beautiful and has substance." Lao Fu also noticed the other person's nose and for the first time he praised a woman's facial feature.

Li Heng agreed with what he said, but he didn't respond. His mind was racing: What was she doing here? Did she just happen to meet him, or did she come here to block him?
In fact, he guessed right. It could be considered a coincidence, but it could also be considered as someone waiting for him.

The Blue Sky Hotel was the first place where the two met in the real world. Although they did not communicate much, it was of extraordinary significance to Huang Zhaoyi. No matter how busy she was at work, she would always squeeze out time to have a meal here every week.

Sometimes it's breakfast, sometimes it's lunch and dinner.

The time was never fixed, and she always had a hope to meet Li Heng. But she knew that this way of waiting was extremely inefficient and required a halo of luck, but she just thought about it and never had much hope.

But today, I encountered it unexpectedly!
Huang Zhaoyi felt a little overwhelmed as she looked at the man she had been thinking about day and night from a distance. She had been calm and composed for decades, but now she felt a little timid, which was unusual for her.

Fortunately, I had sunglasses to cover it up, otherwise it would have been exposed.

Seeing the woman in sunglasses standing there motionless, the fake Taoist adjusted his glasses and asked quietly: "Li Heng, can you see if there is peach blossom on my face? Could it be that after being single for 37 years, my luck has turned and God has begun to favor me?"

Wow, this old Fu is quite narcissistic!
Li Heng didn't have the heart to hit him, so he retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go. I'm a little hungry. Let's go have breakfast."

The fake Taoist priest glanced at Huang Zhaoyi reluctantly and then sighed.

Li Heng asked: "Why are you sighing?"

Lao Fu said with great sorrow: "I am torn. If such a beautiful lady falls in love with me, should I continue to pursue Siya or just forget about this?"

Li Heng was speechless: "Just based on your words of getting out of here, I think Sister Chen was right not to agree to you."

Lao Fu laughed cheerfully: "Well, don't take it seriously. I am just expressing my feelings. Even if a woman like this falls in love with me, I can't support her. What does she drive? A Mercedes."

Li Heng said: "You have been in the United States for so many years, you should have gained more experience, why are you so vulgar?"

Lao Fu argued: "What do you mean by vulgar? I'm telling you the truth. If I hadn't been reluctant to leave Si Ya, I would have left Fudan long ago. This salary is not enough to fill my teeth."

Li Heng looked back and felt that what Lao Fu said was from his heart.

Just as the two were mumbling over breakfast, a waiter handed a note to Li Heng.

Curious, Lao Fu casually asked the waiter, "Who gave it to him?"

The waiter turned around and pointed at Huang Zhaoyi, "That lady."

When he turned around and saw the woman in sunglasses, Lao Fu felt as if he had eaten shit. It took him a long time to utter a word: "Do you know her?"

"Ah."

Li Heng hummed indifferently and said lazily, "She is pursuing me."

Lao Fu couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had been showing off for a long time, but it turned out that he had just been a clown for a long time. How embarrassing! How embarrassing!

Old Fu, who was almost angry and bleeding, twisted his mouth and said directly: "You pay for this breakfast, I won't pay for it."

Li Heng ignored her and opened the folded note, which had a line of words written on it: Are you free? Let's watch a movie together. Huh? When did she get so bold?

Li Heng was surprised.

Little did she know that this note had exhausted all of Huang Zhaoyi's courage, almost 30 years of accumulated courage. She didn't know why she suddenly had an impulse, but when the note was handed to Li Heng, she regretted it!
She tilted her head to look at the scenery outside the window, not daring to meet Li Heng's gaze. She clenched her right hand tightly under the table. She had never been so nervous since she was a child. She was even more nervous than her first performance on stage.

Li Heng pondered for a while, reached out and took the pen that was pinned on Lao Fu's left chest, and wrote on the note: Sorry, I don't have time. I have to go back and practice the program for the Spring Festival Gala with my friends later.

Originally, according to his temper, he didn't want to make any reply.

But when I think of the erhu, flute and plane tickets she gave me in the past, I can't be so heartless. After all, we are in the same Shanghai market, and we will see each other every day. It might be better to give her some face and a way out.

Li Heng called a waiter and said, "Hello, please help me pass this note to the lady by the window."

"Okay, sir." The waitress had a good attitude and took the note and walked towards Huang Zhaoyi.

Lao Fu watched the note fall into the hands of the woman in sunglasses, and then watched the woman in sunglasses leave her seat and go to the bathroom. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "What did you write to her? She won't cry, will she?"

Li Heng said: "You underestimate her, don't you? How can a woman who can drive a Mercedes-Benz cry so easily?"

"That's right!" Old Fu tilted his head and thought for a long time before uttering these two words.

Li Heng was right. Huang Zhaoyi would naturally not cry for such a small matter. She was an adult already and could have predicted the results of many things.

What's more, this result was better than she had imagined. At least Li Heng replied to the note, which saved her face.

Huang Zhaoyi took off her sunglasses and stared at her reflection in the mirror for a long time until someone came in, then she put on her sunglasses again.

She knew why she suddenly went crazy today, and it was Liu Yue who had influenced her invisibly. Her niece's word "coward" hit her soft spot, causing her to be brave this time.

But it was clear that this approach was not for her.

After breakfast, Lao Fu went to pay the bill, but was told that someone else had already paid.

Hearing this, the two grown men turned and looked towards the window.

Empty!

Li Heng asked: "When did the lady leave?"

The cashier at the front desk politely replied, "Sir, the lady left about 10 minutes ago."

10 minutes ago? That means she should have had breakfast. Li Heng then asked, "Does she often come here to eat?"

The cashier at the front desk didn't want to answer this kind of question, but when she saw Li Heng's smile, which was warmer than the sun, she smiled and said, "Yes, I come here every few days."

Li Heng thanked her and almost understood why he met Huang Zhaoyi this time.

After leaving the Blue Sky Hotel, Lao Fu asked, "Where did that woman come from?"

Li Heng looked up at the sky and said calmly, "I don't know either. There have been all kinds of women around me since I was a child."

Old Fu waved his fist, shaking with anger. He had been pursuing Siya for eight years but still nothing was revealed.

And any woman around this guy is so outstanding.

What an enviable guy!
On the way back, Li Heng suddenly asked, "If you leave Fudan, what are you going to do?"

Lao Fu seemed to have thought about this and said seriously, "If I leave Fudan, I can only go abroad. When I was teaching at the University of California, many large companies invited me to take positions. Now my fellow students often write to me and hope that I will come over."

Li Heng asked: "Didn't you study mathematics? Did a financial company or something invite you?"

Lao Fu looked a little proud: "Almost. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and some hedge funds have come to me more than once."

Li Heng was dumbfounded and asked, "So arrogant?"

"You kid, after all, I, Lao Fu, was called back by Principal Sun himself. How can I be your neighbor if I don't have some ability?" When talking about professional fields, Lao Fu put his hands behind his back like an old man, looking very conceited.

Li Heng followed behind and asked, "Really? Have you ever won a big award in the field of mathematics?"

"Of course." Lao Fu raised his head.

Li Heng asked: "Fields Medal? Wolf Prize? Or Abel Prize?"

Lao Fu glanced at him and answered irrelevantly: "When I was studying at the University of California, Berkeley, Professor Shiing-Shen Chern was my mentor."
