Chapter 344: How Much Does He Still Have to Hide from Himself?
Wu Feng and Amei's wedding was still quite lively, and Chang An also took a few photos and sent them to the circle of friends.
When I got home in the evening, I received a call from Zhou Wei, who first chatted a few innocuous words, and then mentioned the wedding he attended during the day.
Chang An said: "It's very lively, and it's very smooth, Grandma Chen cried when the parents spoke." ”
It is supposed that the parents of both sides should give speeches, but Wu Feng and Amei have no parents, and finally helped Grandma Chen to the stage.
When the old lady was young, the white-haired person sent the black-haired, and she pulled Wu Feng up alone, worked hard for most of her life, and finally survived until her only grandson got married and started a family, so as soon as she opened her mouth on stage, she didn't hold it back, and almost finished a few words with tears and snot.
made some people in the audience wipe their eyes, and the scene was inevitably sad.
“… However, Grandma Chen should be very happy today, forget about it, Amei is also very good, capable, willing to work hard, and the most important thing is that she is very filial to Grandma. ”
Chang An told Zhou Wei on the phone about the plot of today's daytime wedding, Zhou Wei could feel it, and she was also very excited.
Although the future life of Yu Gang and Grandma and her family will be parallel, when she was most depressed and difficult, it was these people who helped her and gave her the courage to live, so they have a very special meaning for Chang'an.
"Oh yes, just called me and asked me to thank you!"
"Thank me, thank me, thank me?" Zhou Wei was a little puzzled.
"Thank you for a big red envelope!"
“……”
Zhou Wei is not stingy with this, although no one is present, but the etiquette is very sincere.
The amount he gave plus Chang An himself added a little bit to it, so that when he handed it to Amei, it was really heavy and thick, and Grandma Chen specially looked for Chang An for this matter.
She pulled the person to the corner and insisted on returning the red envelope, but Chang An refused to accept it.
Part of it is Zhou's etiquette, and part of it is her own mind.
In fact, Chang An is also a layman, she is grateful to Grandma Chen for taking care of her before, so she chose to give the red envelope as a way to do her filial piety, and in the end, it was easy to say, and Wu Feng renovated the house as a reason, and finally let the old lady take the red envelope back.
As soon as the clouds pass in April, the temperature skyrockets.
During that time, Zhou Wei traveled frequently, and the two could not be together most of the time.
Wei Suying's store lease agreement was negotiated, and Chang An transferred a sum of money to Chang Jiahui's account.
Wei Suying refused to accept it at first, and had to let Chang Jiahui transfer it back, Chang An had no choice, so she called Wei Suying and coaxed her to invest in shares, and when the restaurant made a profit, she could give her dividends, so Wei Suying reluctantly accepted it, and the next day she actually asked Chang Jiahui to send a shareholding agreement, Chang An was really angry and funny, and didn't care.
A week later, the lease of the store was officially signed, Gao Ming was responsible for the interior design part, and soon came out with several sets of plans and drawings, Chang An also read it, all of which were good, and finally discussed with Chang Jiahui, and consulted Wei Suying's opinion, and chose a warmer style.
In mid-May, Chang An found a new studio, and the studio was very satisfied with the few works she had sent before, and quickly sent the task down.
He was painting at home that day, and Gao Ming suddenly came to the door.
Chang An was quite surprised, and when he asked about his intentions, he found out that Zhou Wei had called him over.
"Mr. Zhou said that he wanted to get you a studio at home, let me come over and have a look, and come up with a few plans for you to choose first?"
Chang An was surprised and moved in his heart.
There is a small study room left for her on this side of the river, but she rarely paints in it, and most of the time she likes to stay on the balcony, bedroom and even living room facing the yard to create, because the environment is comfortable and she will have creative inspiration.
She also thought about getting a special studio before, but she delayed it again and again, and she didn't care about it for so many years, but she didn't expect it to make Zhou Wei think of it first.
After chatting with Gao Ming, Chang An learned that Zhou Ming had already had an idea in his heart, and he had communicated with Gao Ming privately twice before.
According to Mr. Zhou's meaning, he wants to get you two rooms, one indoor, to open up the small study room and the storage room at the back, the space is expanded, and it can be used as a study and a painting room at the same time, and the other is outdoor, the terrace is capped with tempered glass, which is similar to a sun room after it is finished. ”
Gao Ming was very concerned about this matter, and a week later, he sent several sets of plans of different styles to Chang An, and Chang An chose one set in >
At that time, he was in Shenzhen, and there was a groundbreaking ceremony there.
Chang An knew that he was very busy, thinking that he would only reply perfunctory things like "you decide" and "you like it" after reading it, but he didn't expect him to reply to a long list, from a professional perspective and a user experience perspective, which places are feasible, which places are not suitable, and which places can be improved, one by one, they are clearly listed, comparable to a feasibility report.
Chang An was really moved at that time, feeling that he was so busy, and he could patiently and carefully help her check such a small thing, which was both responsible and attentive.
Chang An sent Zhou Ming's opinions and suggestions to Gao Ming, and Gao Ming was so impressed that he quickly changed the plan according to Zhou Ming's "feasibility report".
This time it was basically satisfied, and it was soon finalized and implemented.
I originally thought it was just a simple decoration, but I didn't expect to chisel the wall, and the floor of the small study was all pried open, and the carpet was re-laid, and the terrace also needed to be waterproofed.
The amount of work is quite large, it took more than half a month to see the prototype, fortunately, Gao Ming is attentive enough, even the carpet pattern, wall lamps and furniture are personally taken to Chang'an to choose, and during this half month, Zhou Wei traveled between Shenzhen, Chongqing and Beijing, and there was very little time at home.
But it's also very good, Chang An picks up Xiaozhi every morning and evening, paints at home during the day, the efficiency is quite high, and most of the manuscripts have been handed in at the end of May.
On the day of getting the real estate certificate, Chang Jiahui and Gao Ming invited Chang An to have a meal, both women drank too much, talked a lot about the past, and went back to the car and hugged each other and cried and laughed, which caught Gao Ming off guard.
At that time, Tian Jiaqi also contacted Chang An a few times, but Chang An didn't answer her phone, and after a few times, she simply pulled Tian Jiaqi's number into the blacklist.
In the past, Chang'an may not be able to wipe off her face, and she can always leave room for people to deal with people, so even if she suffers a big grievance, she will not make things too ugly on the scene, but the experience of the past few years tells her that there is no need, how to be comfortable and how to come, and she does not have to wronged herself, so she ignores Tian Jiaqi, does not answer her phone, and does not go back to the old house for dinner, but she will call the old man regularly, chat with him, and make him happy, just like before.
Chang Jiahui and Gao Ming's wedding time has finally been set.
I wanted to do it on October 1 National Day, Chang Jiahui said that the whole country would celebrate together, but the day was too good, and several hotels were fully booked, and finally I had to move the time back to New Year's Day.
New Year's Day is also good, but it is a little cold.
The days must be easier to do, sign an agreement with the hotel, try dishes, talk about weddings, try dresses and wedding dresses, originally these things should be Gao Ming accompanied Chang Jiahui to do, but Gao Ming took a big order in his private name, so he and two like-minded colleagues combined, simply resigned from the company A few people came out to work alone, this is good, it is renting an office, and getting a business license and qualifications, a bunch of things slammed down, Gao Ming is busier than Chang Jiahui.
In addition, Wei Suying's restaurant is also under construction, Gao Ming sometimes needs to go over and keep an eye on it in person, and in the end, the wedding preparations fell on Chang An's head.
Chang An thought that he was not busy anyway, so he accompanied Chang Jiahui around, hotels, weddings, and souvenirs were all easy to do, and finally got stuck on the wedding dress and dress.
Chang Jiahui is not very elegant, she can accept renting a set from the photo studio casually, in her words, anyway, just wear those hours, renting a set saves money and is environmentally friendly, as a result, this kind of thinking was severely criticized by Chang An.
"Marriage is a lifelong thing, you must have your own wedding dress, unique, not casual, let alone compromised!"
Chang An found a few designers on the Internet, all of whom were native to Yunling, but they didn't feel very good after talking, and finally she patted her head, "I'll take you to London." ”
At that time, Chang Jiahui was stupid when she heard this.
"Well, I went to London just to buy a wedding dress?"
"It's not buying, it's customizing!"
"Customization is too expensive for me to afford. ”
"I will give you a wedding gift. ”
"The round-trip ticket is also so expensive, and there are hotel and other expenses at that time. ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of it!"
"Okay, deal, I'll get a visa tomorrow!"
“……”
In this way, the two women got on a plane to London a week later, but for Chang Jiahui, she agreed to go to London not for a wedding dress, but to see where Chang An once lived.
Chang An took her to the small western-style house left by her grandmother, but unfortunately no one took care of it for many years, the flowers and plants in the garden died, and the ground and furniture were covered with dust, but nothing changed, her bedroom, her princess bed with a curtain, and the swing in the garden.
Time is completely still in some places, and Chang An feels that it is really merciful and cruel.
Later, Chang An took Chang Jiahui to see her grandmother.
Chang Jiahui has always admired this old man, but she didn't expect to really come to London to pay homage in her lifetime, she was so excited that she stood in front of the tomb and chattered, most of them were complaining and complaining, complaining about how bad Chang An was to her when she was a child, how indifferent, and she was very emotional, so that the foreign friends who also came to sweep the tomb next to her kept staring at her, probably thinking that this Chinese woman was going on, and she talked to herself before running to the grave.
Chang An was waiting next to him, angry and funny.
The next day, Chang An took Chang Jiahui to meet two wedding dress designers, and after talking, they finalized one of them, and the two sides communicated and measured the size, and Chang An paid the deposit at that time.
Chang Jiahui also deliberately took a picture of the bill and showed it to the circle of friends, with the words: "Feel it casually, there is a local tyrant sister who is so willful!"
After finishing the business, Chang An took Chang Jiahui around London in the next two days, the British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge in London, anyway, the famous attractions went around, and checked in a few Internet celebrity restaurants recommended by travel apps.
Chang Jiahui also adheres to the consistent style, patting everywhere, every time it is full of nine-square grids, and she has to brush the screen several times a day, but there is only one, a photo of her and Chang An, dusk, the background is the landmark building London Eye, Chang Jiahui wears a long-sleeved sweatshirt, sweatpants, and Chang An is a skirt and a thin jacket.
The two stood side by side, without overly intimate movements, just smiling and leaving this picture in front of the camera.
seems to be an ordinary group photo, Chang Jiahui posted a circle alone.
When I saw this circle of friends, the two had already returned to the hotel, Chang Jiahui had already entered the dream because of the fatigue of the day, Chang An leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the girl standing next to her on the screen, the girl had her hands hanging down to her sides, the smile on her face spread, she smiled a little shyly, and even nervous, which did not match her usual flamboyant and domineering appearance at all.
The photo above is written by Chang Jiahui.
She said: "This is the first time my sister and I have traveled together, and it is also the first photo of us together, and I am very happy!"
Chang An felt so sour at the time.
This girl who always liked to follow her ass when she was a child, bluffed and couldn't leave, and couldn't go away has grown up, and is about to become a wife, and will soon be a mother, and deep in her heart from the initial rejection and resentment towards her, to now becoming the most important relative in life, this long and gentle process makes her feel that life is a very beautiful thing.
The next day, Chang An took Chang Jiahui to meet Edan, who had already lost his mobile phone number, Chang An just searched for the contact information of his previous office on the Internet from memory, tried his luck, but didn't expect to be really contacted.
Aden was very excited on the phone, but he was not in London at the time, so he rushed back overnight, so he asked Chang An to have dinner.
Chang An also brought Chang Jiahui with him, and Chang Jiahui finally met this handsome, gentle and funny gold medal financial manager who had helped Chang An manage Wanguan's family wealth.
The result is good, the picture of Chang An's expected old friends reuniting and hugging and crying did not appear, and some were just a secondary two Edan and a neurotic Chang Jiahui at first sight, and they hated each other late, and both sides tried to communicate in broken Chinese and broken English throughout the meal, and Chang An became an outsider instead.
Naturally, the dinner was also very pleasant, but poor Chang An didn't remember to talk to Edan about business until the end, mainly about the private equity fund she had set up in her personal name before.
Originally, Chang An didn't have any hope, after all, she had been out of touch for so many years, even if Edan had a good personal relationship with her before, there was no reason to help her maintain the fund all the time, but the answer surprised Chang An.
Edan said that Zhou Wei came to London to see him three years ago, and informed Chang An that he had passed away, and Zhou Tao has been in contact with Edan in recent years, and regularly transfers money to the fund account in the name of Rongbang, generally twice a year, the first half of the year is usually in January, Chang'an's "death day", and the second half of the year is Chang'an's birthday, so although Chang'an has disappeared for three years, the fund has been operating, and it is operating well, and several projects have been done in recent years.
This is something Chang An didn't expect, the key is that Zhou Wei didn't mention it to her before.
When I went back to Chang'an that night, I received information from Edan, including the operation of the fund in recent years, the remittance and expenditure of funds, and the summary of all projects.
Chang An was not familiar with the financial part, so she didn't look closely, she only picked the folder of the project and flipped through it casually, and she saw a set of photos.
