There was no lock on the dilapidated old wooden door, Qiao Mingyue glanced at Guan Shan, and hesitantly stretched out her hand.

The hinge of the door was probably covered with rust, and when I pushed the door open, the sound of creaking broke into my ears, just like hearing the sharp nails scraping on the tin stationery box of my childhood, which made people's hearts bristle.

The shantytown in the old city, far away from the main roads of the city, can not hear the hustle and bustle of the city, walking through this door, it is like walking into another world.

The iron bars on the windows were also rusty, the patterned glass on the wooden windows was broken, and the morning wind, with the smell of autumn sunshine, blew into the windows, and was instantly overwhelmed by the darkness and dampness of the house.

Qiao Mingyue lowered her voice and said, "It's only less than half past seven, and that person is not at home?"

Guan Shan was also puzzled.

Even if you are at work, you should still be at home.

Guan Shan said: "Maybe people are inside, I'll go inside and take a look." ”

After all, no one should go out without closing the door in this era.

Qiao Mingyue nodded, and Guan Shan walked towards the inner room.

This is a room with one advance and one retreat, and the place where they are standing can barely be called a living room, and inside it should be a bedroom.

She swept around, the house was messy, plastic bags hung from the wind hook in the window, loose noodles wrapped in newspaper could be faintly seen in it, and a honeycomb coal stove underneath, on the honeycomb coal stove was a pot of old kettle steaming with faint heat, and a simple wooden table next to it, and two plates of unfinished dishes were covered in a mosquito cover.

At a glance, the most valuable thing is probably this guy who eats.

Around, except for a few plastic stools and a tin cabinet that I picked up from nowhere and had half of the door missing, there was no decent furniture.

Qiao Mingyue raised her feet and walked inside, also wanting to look inside, in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall, there was a sudden squirming.

She made a visual inspection, at most a distance of more than ten centimeters, it shouldn't be hiding the begging Song Yiwei, right?

With a heart in her hand, she cautiously leaned towards the tin cabinet.

But when she walked to the side of the tin cabinet, there was suddenly silence again.

Just as she took out her mobile phone and wanted to use the flashlight to shine a picture of what was inside, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her back.

She turned back in horror, and out of nowhere, a little boy rolled out, lying on the ground and staring at her.

Qiao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Shan in the inner room heard the movement, and he didn't have time to look through any information, so he stepped out of the door in a few steps, took Qiao Mingyue behind his back, and reached out to grab the child lying on the ground.

Qiao Mingyue pulled him by the hand, stopped him and said, "Don't do it first, it may be Song Yiwei's family, let's ask him, maybe we know Song Yiwei." ”

As soon as she heard her mention Song Yiwei's name, the little vigilant little face of the child on the ground instantly turned angry, and he quickly pestled forward with a small horse in one hand.

The child screamed, "Who are you? Why are you always looking for my dad!" Get out! Get out!"

In a few seconds the child was up to her.

She took a step back so that he wouldn't let the pony in his hand smash her foot.

It was also at this time that Qiao Mingyue and Guan Shan saw clearly that this child actually had no legs!

His hips went down, empty...... When he didn't move, he put himself on the pony in his hand, and when he moved, he walked forward with both hands on the pony......

Qiao Mingyue's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and she looked at the child in front of her.

Guan Shan couldn't say a word.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Ping-you—— Ping'an, Daddy is back!"

From far to near, the voice fell, and the creak of the door as it was pushed open rang out.

Song Yiwei carried a plastic bag in his hand, which contained a cup of soy milk and a fried dough stick...... Qiao Mingyue and Guan Shan stood in the middle of the room in a daze.

He was also stunned.

A few seconds later, he threw the things in his hand onto the small wooden table, rushed towards Qiao Mingyue and Guan Shan, and shouted, "Who let you in?

Qiao Mingyue blocked him and said, "Song ......"

"Get out!"

Without waiting for Qiao Mingyue to speak, he let out a loud shout and reached out to push her.

Guan Shan didn't speak, his face was also pale, and when he saw that Song Yiwei was going to make a move on Qiao Mingyue, he pulled her, and Song Yiwei pushed his hand into the air.

Guan Shan held his chin slightly and said to Qiao Mingyue, "Let's go." ”

Qiao Mingyue looked at Guan Shan, and then at Song Yiwei...... Song Yiwei picked up the child he called Ping'an, and asked softly: "Ping'an, did these two people say bad things about your father? Dad told you that no one except Dad can believe it!"

Song Ping'an nodded, and also softened his voice: "They didn't say anything." ”

This is the voice of a child...... No roaring, no anger, like all other kids.

Hearing Xiao Ping'an say such a sentence, Song Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved.

He looked at Qiao Mingyue coldly: "While I didn't coax you, please get out of here! ”

Qiao Mingyue unconsciously broke free from Guan Shan and took her hand, and took a step forward, with a pleading in her eyes: "Song Yiwei, I didn't mean anything else, the hundred yuan is really important to me, can you find it and give it to me?"

Song Yiwei said coldly: "10,000 yuan, I said, I will return your 10,000 yuan and 100 yuan." ”

Qiao Mingyue nodded: "Bring it!"

Just as she was about to rummage through the bag, Guan Shan suddenly snatched her handbag, glanced at Song Yiwei coldly, and pulled Qiao Mingyue out.

Qiao Mingyue looked at Guan Shan puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Guan Shan said: "Have breakfast." ”

It's not over yet, what's going to have breakfast?

Qiao Mingyue shook off his hand: "I'll eat later, I'll go talk to him again." ”

Guan Shan frowned slightly, he felt that there was no need to find Song Yiwei, so he just stuffed Qiao Mingyue into the car.

After that, I drove directly to a nearby morning tea restaurant.

Qiao Mingyue's mind was not on breakfast, she was thinking about Song Yiwei and the kid with no legs.

She felt that Song Yiwei might not really want the 10,000 yuan.

It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to pretend to be disabled to deceive people, she thought, he might really just need money.

Seeing that she was tired of appetite, Guan Shan simply put down his chopsticks and said to her, "You can't see that he's slandering?"

Qiao Mingyue frowned, looked at him as if he was winning, and said, "I want to get back the hundred!"

Guan Shan was stunned, he felt that he really couldn't rely on Qiao Mingyue without discipline.

Yesterday, he was still thinking about Qiao Mingyue's first contact with business, the first negotiation game, he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, and he didn't want her to make anything missing, so he decided to accompany her.

You must know that he does not approve of this matter, and no one knows William Tang's personality better than him.

Not to mention, it is impossible for him to remember the number of the RMB, even if she really finds the number back, he doesn't want to sign the contract, and he will definitely be able to find other ways to cheat.

The saying that there is no business and no traitor is not groundless.

Thinking of this, his voice unconsciously cooled down.

He said, "What's the use of retrieving a hundred?

Qiao Mingyue argued: "That's better than giving up without doing anything!"

With that, he simply got up from his chair and prepared to leave.

How did she know he hadn't tried?

Guan Shan also immediately stood up, grabbed Qiao Mingyue, and said: "Do you think you are persistent? If you say it is good, this is called drilling the horns of the bull, and if it is not good, you are stupid! Do you think that it is okay to do business and talk about business with all your enthusiasm? An entrepreneur is not a great benevolent person who does charity! Instead of wasting time here, it is better to think of a way to develop a new business!"

In the business field, wasting time on people who do not have opportunities is to increase the opportunity cost, and when the opportunity cost exceeds a certain percentage, even if the business is negotiated, it is a loss.

Guan Shan wanted to tell Qiao Mingyue how unsentimental the competition in the business field was, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back some words, and after these words, he himself was stunned.

Why didn't you tell her about this lightly?

She has just stepped into the business sector, and she doesn't know anything about negotiations, so she needs his step-by-step guidance!

How could you say such heavy things to her!

Guan Shan frowned and was blaming himself, Qiao Mingyue suddenly smiled coldly: "It turns out that I am like this in your heart." ”

She suddenly raised her hand and stretched out a finger to poke Guan Shan's chest.

Now that she has spoken, she has to stop holding those words in her heart.

Guan Shan can say that she is stupid, why can't she say that he is cold-blooded!

Guan Shan looked at her with her chin down, but she looked at her fingers, which were as rhythmic as what she said.

She said: "Let me tell you, I am stupid, but I am more human than you! You think Song Yiwei is blackmailing me, but how can you conclude that he has nothing unspeakable? How do you know that there must be no room for negotiation?"

The questions made Guan Shan frown.

She dropped her fingers abruptly, and suddenly looked up.

The face that was still serious just now suddenly pulled an invincible professional and laughed: "Oh, I forgot, how can the president, as a capitalist who has been cultivated since childhood, put himself in the shoes of others?"

After saying that, he turned around.

The moment he turned around, the pretended smiling face disappeared without a trace.

Guan Shan was stunned in place, looking at the back of Qiao Mingyue leaving, his heart was like turning over a five-flavor bottle, and the indescribable complex taste.

Qiao Mingyue came to this dilapidated house again alone.

Because he had already met her once, Xiao Ping'an was not as angry with her as before.

Qiao Mingyue put down the bag of fruit and a carton of milk that she had just bought, and squatted down, lest Xiao Ping'an have to try to raise her head when she speaks.

She smiled slightly: "Xiao Ping'an, where is your father?"

I don't know if it's that little Ping'an, or that smile, so that Xiao Ping'an instantly unloaded his last defense.

He pursed his lips and said, "Daddy is out to work." ”

Qiao Mingyue remembered that before, Song Yiwei came in and saw them, and was very anxious, and finally knew that they didn't say anything to Xiao Ping'an, and she was relieved.

Qiao Mingyue thought to herself, was he afraid of what they would say?

She smiled again and said, "Can you tell your aunt where your father is working? Auntie has an urgent matter for your father." ”

Xiao Ping'an said: "Dad went to a big company, went to a big class, and made a lot of money. ”

A child without legs can't see his actual height, but he speaks like a four- or five-year-old child.

Hearing him say this, Qiao Mingyue's heart became clearer, Song Yiwei should have hidden that this child was pretending to be a disabled person outside to beg, right?

He should have his own reason for hiding from him, and Qiao Mingyue has never been a talkative person.

She pulled Xiao Ping'an's dirty little hand, feeling a little sorry for the child.

She asked, "Does your dad usually come back late?"

"I only came back late last year, when I was a little younger, I often followed my father on the construction site, but later, I heard my father say that the construction site does not pay wages, and after he quits, he is now doing this thing, and the money is a lot more, but he often comes back very late. ”

Xiao Ping'an spoke in a clear manner, like a little adult.

"What about your mother?"

Hearing Qiao Mingyue ask, Xiao Ping'an's shining eyes suddenly darkened: "I don't have a mother." ”

Qiao Mingyue's heart trembled slightly, she wanted to apologize to him, but after thinking about it, she whispered: "It's okay, your father is superhuman, it's good to have a father." ”

She wanted to know a little more about Song Yiwei, but looking at the child's distraction, she couldn't bear to ask again.

It could be seen that Song Yiwei cared about this child very much, so she added a brick to his castle.

She looked at the time, and before she knew it, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, if you go to the museum to find Song Yiwei, you may not be able to get back the hundred yuan.

After all, in this day and age, a hundred dollars is too easy to spend.

She took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ping'an, "Auntie will go first, and I will come to see you next time." ”

If the studio says so, is there a chance, who knows?

Then he turned and left.

Who knows, as soon as she left on the front foot, Song Yiwei came in on the back foot.

Xiao Ping'an looked in a good mood, supported Xiao Mazha with both hands and walked quickly to the door, threw himself into the arms of Song Yiwei, who had already squatted down, and shouted: "Dad!"

Song Yiwei picked up Xiao Ping'an and kissed him on the cheek.

"Is Xiao Ping'an afraid to be alone at home?"

"I'm a little superman!"

This is a conversation that happens every day between father and son.

Song Yiwei put Xiao Ping'an on the ground, saw the fruit and milk on the simple wooden table, his eyebrows suddenly flew, and asked Xiao Ping'an: "Tell Dad, who has been here?"

Xiao Ping'an has been observant since he was a child, although his father is trying his best to restrain his inner anger at this time, he still sees it.

He wasn't afraid of his father at all.

He said seriously: "The aunt who came in the morning, she just left, but she told me that Dad is Superman, and I like her very much." ”

Song Yiwei's eyebrows were slightly relieved, and he was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly came back to his senses, and asked, "She just left?"

Xiao Ping'an nodded: "Maybe you haven't walked out of the alley yet." ”

Song Yiwei rushed out quickly.

A few minutes later, he saw the unfamiliar figure standing there alone, in a daze.

Song Yiwei stepped forward, took out a plastic bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and took out a hundred-yuan bill that was placed aside alone.

The sudden red ticket made Qiao Mingyue feel a sigh in her heart, and when she looked sideways, she saw Song Yiwei say lightly: "Thank you." ”

This hundred, since Qiao Mingyue came to him for the first time last night, he put it aside alone.

But he always thought that he would not return this hundred to Qiao Mingyue.

Or, maybe in exchange for 10,000 dollars.

He was so short of money that he didn't dare to spend five dollars a day.

Qiao Mingyue opened her mouth, and it took a long time to say a sentence: "Thank me for what?"

Song Yiwei stuffed the hundred yuan into Qiao Mingyue's hand, turned around, and strode forward.

Qiao Mingyue froze in place, and she didn't come back to her senses until his figure had completely disappeared into the alley.

Why did he suddenly give her the money back?

took the initiative and returned it to her if she didn't want a penny...... Asked Qiao Mingyue to take a look at the time, it was only one hour away from the twenty-four hours agreed with William Tang.

She secretly thought, no matter what reason he is, come back and thank him again, go to William Tang first!

The Tata Group building is located in the Economic Development Zone, and it takes 40 minutes to go from here.

She didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran quickly to the side of the road.

Fortunately, this is not the peak time for car use, it is easy to take a taxi, and I arrived at the Tata Group on time.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Tata Corporation building, I saw Wu Ren again.

Wu Ren was still regretting that he forgot to ask her for her phone number yesterday, and when he was thinking about how to contact her, he didn't expect Qiao Mingyue to appear by herself.

He felt that it was providential.

Wu Ren ran straight from the gate to greet Qiao Mingyue.

"Mingyue!" Wu Ren shouted, "Are you here to find me?"

Time was pressing, Qiao Mingyue didn't have time to consume, she ignored Wu Ren, bypassed him and went straight to the front desk.

Where would Wu Ren let her go?

Learning from yesterday's lesson, Wu Ren was afraid that when she left in a while, he would have to do something else, so he grabbed her and said, "I'll talk to you!"

Qiao Mingyue paused, frowned and said, "You let go first, I have something urgent!"

Wu Ren said: "Okay, okay, I won't stop you if you have something urgent, you tell me your phone number first, and I will make an appointment for you to eat!"

Qiao Mingyue directly took out the business card that was placed on the outermost layer of the handbag.

This was issued by the business department and gave her the title of supervisor.

Wu Ren didn't know the mystery inside, so he took his business card and said, "Sure enough, there are many opportunities in big cities, and you are all in charge!"

Qiao Mingyue didn't bother to pay attention to him and went straight to the front desk.

Unlike yesterday, the little sister at the front desk didn't stop her again, but told her directly: "Mr. Tang is waiting for you, just go up directly." ”

Qiao Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the front desk said that Mr. Tang was waiting for her.

This means that she speculated before and misunderstood Mr. Tang? As long as she waits for only a hundred yuan to arrive, the list will be set?

The mood she was still suppressing suddenly dissipated.

Walking out of the elevator and walking to the door of Mr. Tang's office, she knocked on the door, and the voice inside was full of anger: "Come in!"

Qiao Mingyue pushed open the door, and between that, William Tang sat on the chair behind the desk, his hands on the edge of the table, and his eyes looked at Qiao Mingyue like torches.

Qiao Mingyue secretly took a breath and pretended to be calm: "Mr. Tang, I'll be back within the agreed time." ”

"The hundred dollars, recovered?"

The corners of William Tang's mouth pulled back slightly, and if he looked closely, he would find that this was a very disdainful smile.

Qiao Mingyue signed this list, but as if she didn't see anything, she was used to smirking: "It's back." ”

William Tang raised his hand: "Take it and let me see." ”

Qiao Mingyue walked to William Tang's desk and put the money in front of William Tang's eyes.

Why should I put a crisper bag?

William Tang couldn't help but glance at Qiao Mingyue, not knowing where this came from.

He was about to reach out to get the money, but was suddenly snatched away by Qiao Mingyue with the bag: "Mr. Tang, please just look through the bag!"

William Tang was puzzled, but he felt that no matter whether the money was never taken out of the bag, the number would always change, just let her be.

He smoothed the folds on the bag, saw the number on it, and said to Qiao Mingyue: "Have you read carefully, this is not the money I want you to find!"

Qiao Mingyue was not in a hurry, and took the money into her hand again: "But I remember, you said that if you want me to retrieve the money that Lady Lisa gave me yesterday, you agreed to my request, didn't you?"

William Tang narrowed his eyes: "Isn't this number just proof, isn't this money wrong?"

Qiao Mingyue smiled faintly: "Maybe you remembered the wrong number!"

William Tang suddenly stood up from the chair: "How could I be mistaken!"

It's nonsense, of course you can't be wrong!

Qiao Mingyue didn't follow his rules, she said lightly: "If I prove it, this money was given by Mrs. Lisa yesterday morning, but you misremembered the number, can our agreement still count?"

William Tang slapped him on the desk and said sharply: "Of course it counts!" But if you can't prove it, you will never appear in front of me again!"

Qiao Mingyue said: "Okay, then please go to the police station with me, and you may have to invite Mrs. Lisa." ”

William Tang knew what the Chinese police station was for, and he was shocked: "What do you want me to do at the police station?"

Qiao Mingyue explained: "Mr. Tang, don't get me wrong, the police station is not all about catching bad guys, I happen to have a friend at the police station, the kind that can corroborate the traces of the crime, to prove whether this money is Mrs. Lisa's is very simple, just go and check the fingerprints." ”

That time, Huang Xuan was framed for stealing her watch, Officer Chen took the watch and said that she wanted to extract fingerprints, she didn't touch the watch at all, and helped her clear her suspicion in minutes.

So this money...... Mrs. Lisa gave it to Song Yiwei yesterday morning, and Song Yiwei kept it on herself.

And this coin is brand new, and it should be that Lisa took the foreign currency to exchange it from the bank after she arrived in City C.

This banknote has not been touched by many people, and the fingerprints on it, Mrs. Lisa's are absolutely clearly visible.

After hearing her say this, William Tang's face turned green.

But if you say it yourself, you can't deny it on the spot.

Doing business, although the means are a little disgusting, but who doesn't pay attention to a letter?

is like the underworld that has done all the bad things, that is, righteousness is greater than the sky.

The same is true for doing business.

Cheng Zhang received a call from someone from the Tata Group saying that he wanted to arrange the signing of the contract, and he thought he had misheard.

After all, Guan Shan didn't sign it in person.
