In 1988, the curtain of a new era was about to rise.
Li Muchen, a struggling young author, arrived in 1988 with a head full of business knowledge, beginning his journey of counterattack.
<...After the two of them sat down, Li Muchen took the menu and looked at it while saying, "I heard the steak here is particularly good, and this French baked snail seems to be very good too. How about we pair it with a bottle of good vintage red wine? What do you think?" Ye Qianwen smiled and nodded, "Boss Li, it's up to you."
After Li Muchen ordered the dishes, he continued, "I've been very busy lately, and I've been a little irritable. It feels so good to have dinner with you."
Ye Qianwen smiled and said, "Boss Li, let's enjoy the food tonight." Li Muchen nodded and said, "Well, look at how exquisitely prepared this dish is. I hope it suits your taste." Ye Qianwen replied, "Just by looking at it, I know it must be delicious."
During the meal, Li Muchen and Ye Qianwen had a great conversation. Their communication was smooth and natural, and every topic resonated with each other, with happy smiles on their faces the whole time.
They talked about the wonderful movies they had seen recently and the popular art exhibitions. Li Muchen said, "That newly released suspense film has a very exciting plot with twists and turns."
Sally Yeh responded: "That's right, but I prefer art films. The delicate emotional expression always touches me."
Talking about the food culture around the world and the unique customs of different cities, Sally Yeh smiled and said, "The romance of Paris is intoxicating." Li Muchen nodded in agreement, "And Tokyo's traditional culture is also very charming."
After dinner, Li Muchen looked at Ye Qianwen sincerely and said, "Qianwen, the night is still long, why don't we go to the bar to relax?"
Sally Yeh tilted her head slightly, a charming blush on her face, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Okay, Boss Li."
Arriving at the bar, the colorful lights flickered and the music was dynamic and rhythmic. Li Muchen and Ye Qianwen sat down side by side and ordered a few drinks.
Sally Yeh took a sip from her wine glass, her eyes gradually becoming hazy. Her smile was languid and tipsy, like a delicate flower swaying in the night breeze. Her figure swayed gently to the music, exuding a carefree allure.
Li Muchen looked at Ye Qianwen and said with concern: "Qianwen, drink less, don't get drunk." Ye Qianwen chuckled and said nonchalantly: "This is just the beginning, let's enjoy it tonight."
However, it wasn't long before Sally Yeh was already feeling tipsy. Her eyes were hazy, her cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Boss Li, I really seem to be a little tipsy. The world seems to be spinning, and I feel like I'm floating in the clouds. This light and airy feeling is so strange, yet so relaxing. Oh, am I talking nonsense? Never mind, give me another drink, I can still drink! I want to forget all my troubles and indulge myself in this drunken state. Boss Li, please don't stop me, I'm as happy as a free bird right now."
As she spoke, she leaned towards Li Muchen, muttering to herself, "Let me fly, let me fly..."
As the night deepened, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually quieted down. Li Muchen supported the tipsy Sally Yeh as they walked out of the bar. A cool breeze blew past, and Sally Yeh couldn't help but shiver.
The streets were deserted, with only a few street lamps emitting dim light. Li Muchen brought Ye Qianwen to a quiet hotel nearby. The hotel lobby was spacious and bright, with soft lighting. The front desk staff greeted them with a smile.
Li Muchen said softly to Ye Qianwen: "Qianwen, you should have a good rest here tonight." Ye Qianwen replied dazedly: "Well, thank you, Boss Li."
Li Muchen opened the room with gentle movements, then carefully helped Ye Qianwen, whose steps were unsteady, into the elevator. The light in the elevator was as white as snow, bright and soft.
The elevator was unusually quiet at this moment, as if the whole world had stopped. It was so quiet that one could even clearly hear each other's slightly rapid breathing.
Arriving at the door of the room, Li Muchen opened it. The room was warmly decorated and the pale yellow light made people feel warm and comfortable.
Li Muchen helped Ye Qianwen to the bedside and said, "Qianwen, you will feel much better after a good sleep." Ye Qianwen sat down limply and said vaguely, "Boss Li, thank you for your help."
