On a winter day in February, the temperature was surprisingly low and the wind was quite cold, but luckily there was sun.

Chang An is completing the last part, although it is not a magnificent masterpiece, but the mental and physical strength required to complete a complete wall painting on a wall of hundreds of meters is still considerable.

For a week she immersed herself almost completely, thinking about nothing else, and only concentrating on painting.

Finally, the last stroke fell, and the slanting sun just hung on the treetops, and the golden light fell, casting a layer of golden light on the colorful wall.

Chang An breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had traveled tens of thousands of miles through thousands of mountains and rivers, and as if he had finally rowed the boat to the other side with a lonely pulp.

Call it a day!

Chang An picked up the painting tools that had been spread on the ground and threw them into the black backpack in the same way.

When I turned around, I found that there were already a lot of people standing on the side of the road, including grandmothers who picked up their children from school, aunts who went back from grocery shopping, and some students who went home together.

It is difficult to paint such a large wall painting on the exterior wall of the large square of the city's complex without attracting people's eyes, but Chang An doesn't care at all.

She collapsed her backpack on her body, didn't even take off her mask, and directly carried the folding ladder on the ground through the crowd of onlookers.

There were two sudden "ticks" on the side of the road.

At first, Chang An didn't care, waiting for the car window to fall, "Hey!"

Chang An heard the movement, looked at it, and was shocked.

"Why are you here?"

"Wait for you!" Chen Haodong got out of the car and naturally took the small ladder she was carrying.

Chang An watched him stunned as he loaded his folding ladder into the trunk, but unfortunately the ladder was too long, and the door couldn't be closed twice, so he simply didn't close it, let the trunk grin and open it, and turn his chin to signal, "Get in the car!"

Chang An didn't react at all.

"No, you're coming to me for something?"

"I can't look for you if I'm fine?"

“……”

Chen Haodong patted the dust on his hands, and suddenly laughed, "Let's go, take you to meet someone!"

“……”

Chang An finally got into Chen Haodong's car.

"Who are you going to take me to, I can't meet people like this!"

Chang An took off his ink-stained gloves and mask, and was wearing a black half-used cotton suit that he often wore for painting, and even the jeans underneath were dyed with a lot of paint.

Chen Haodong glanced at her, "It's okay, I didn't want to ask you to eat!"

“……”

The more he sells Guanzi, the more lazy Chang An is to ask, anyway, he knows that he won't sell himself.

Chen Haodong started the car and drove Chang'an into the main road, he glanced at his watch, "It's still early, let's find a place to have dinner first!"

“……”

I chose a Tujia restaurant, it didn't seem to have any planning, I just found it on the side of the road, the taste was unsatisfactory, I ate it simply, and sat in the store for a while, until Chen Haodong took Chang An away at seven o'clock.

The car drove for almost an hour and stopped at the door of a building in the suburbs.

"Where is this?"

"Clubhouse!"

"The person you want me to see is here?"

Chen Haodong parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine, and turned off the headlights, "Yes, but I can't get in, I have to wait in the car!"

Chang An: "......"

After waiting for about another hour, Chen Haodong suddenly patted Chang An's arm, "Come out!"

Chang An looked up, and a group of people came out of the door of the club, men and women, staggering, and they were drinking a lot inside.

Chang An still wondered, what do these people have to do with him?

"What the hell are you—" She was about to ask, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the group, but it didn't seem to be, because it wasn't quite the same as she remembered.

"The woman in black fur and high-heeled leather boots is... What is the spirit?"

Chen Haodong nodded, Chang An couldn't believe it, in her impression, she seemed to have half-length hair, and she always dressed up playfully, but the woman at the door of the club was a big wave, a small short skirt, even through a glass Chang An seemed to be able to smell the rich fat powder from the shop.

He Ling also seemed to have drunk a lot, standing there was a little weak, the suburbs were windy, and below her was a knee-length short skirt, wearing transparent stockings on her bare legs, and the two of them were cold when they looked at them.

She was really cold, so cold that her legs couldn't stand straight, but she had to grit her teeth and send the people around her away one by one with a smile.

After walking three or four cars in a row, she was finally the only one left at the door, and she ran to the side of the flower bed with crooked steps, bent down and began to vomit......

The sound of vomiting came from outside the car, He Ling vomited there alone for a long time, Chang An was really afraid that she would vomit out her gallbladder.

After finally throwing up, she wiped her mouth casually with her sleeve, and stood up a few times before barely standing up, holding her hand on the pillar next to her.

There was a lamp just above the pillar, and the light shone brightly on He Ling's face, maybe it was cold, maybe she was injured, her face was pale, and she felt that no matter how heavy the makeup was, it couldn't cover the sadness and exhaustion between her eyebrows.

Chen Haodong glanced at Chang An and asked, "Do you want to go over and meet?"

Chang An didn't speak.

A week ago, she didn't just want to meet her, she would probably just lift a brick and greet her head, but now that she really saw someone, Chang An felt a little... There is an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the lobby of the clubhouse, walking crookedly, and he looked drunk, but as soon as the man walked to the door, He Ling straightened himself, went over to support the other party's shoulder, and said something with a smile in his mouth, Chang An didn't hear clearly, and he didn't need to hear clearly, and the next moment he saw the man touch his hand on He Ling's waist.

The two lingered at the door for a while until a car drove by.

Chang An glanced at the license plate, it was not an ordinary corporate car.

He Ling was hugged by the man and stuffed into the car first, and the moment Chang An closed the door, Chang An found that the other party was still bald, and then the driver went over and opened the other door, and the man stumbled and sat in, everything seemed to be packed into a black box, until the car passed in front of Chang An, and she shuddered.

"Is that man her boyfriend?" Chang An also felt that he had asked a very stupid question after asking this sentence.

Just looking at the man's figure and appearance, he is almost ready to be He Ling's father, how can he be a boyfriend!

"No!" Chen Haodong said, "It's not a boyfriend, it's a new leader from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, if you really want to ask what the relationship between the two is, it can probably only be regarded as a partner!"

"Partner?"

Chen Haodong put his hand on the steering wheel and rubbed his forehead, "In the past few years, Yuanxi has had a hard time, and the external environment has affected it, and residential projects are becoming more and more difficult to do, especially for enterprises with a single structure like Yuanxi, which is basically in the state of winter, and there are also a bunch of problems internally. ”

In fact, He Ling is not a business material, when He Zhaoxiong was alive, she was a big lady who ate, drank and had fun, and she didn't have to worry about anything, but now she was driven to the shelves, because she knew that if she didn't bite a little tighter, there would already be those old shareholders in the company who ate people and didn't spit out bones, and there was a little brother born by Fang Rushan in the "family".

She has changed a lot in recent years, fighting internally and externally, but it still seems that there is no way to recover the status quo of Yuanxi's continued downturn. ”

Chen Haodong stopped, "I asked someone to check Yuan Xi's account in the bank, if no miracle happens, the company's liquidation will be within the last two or three years." ”

Residential real estate companies have passed the best period, especially in the past year or so, there are many real estate companies with a single structure that have died, not to mention that Yuan Xi is worried about internal and external troubles, a plate of scattered sand, and He Bin and He Ling, two brothers and sisters who have no management experience and were arrested to take the lead, preside over the overall situation, and now the situation is also normal.

Chang An is not sympathetic, her sympathy is not so cheap and overflowing, but she suddenly feels that maybe God has a scale in his hand.

He Zhaoxiong was also a character back then, his career was in full swing, and Fang Rushan was pregnant with another son, and he suddenly died in a car accident that night when he wanted to hug the beauty.

Outsiders think it's a coincidence, but Chang An still remembers what he saw in the parking lot that night, He Bin made a move on Fang Rushan's car, which caused the car's brakes to fail and finally the car was destroyed, in other words, it was his son who indirectly killed He Zhaoxiong.

As soon as He Zhaoxiong died, he left He Ling's brothers and sisters a mess, and there was a cheap brother from other women who wanted to come and rob the family property with them.

"Let's go, I'll take you to another place!" Chen Haodong restarted the car and took Chang An away.

On the way, Chang An became more silent, almost not speaking all the way.

The car drove back to the city from the suburbs, and finally stopped in front of a bar, it was already ten o'clock, and the city was already asleep, some people were waiting to party, and the streets in front of them were brightly lit and the shadows were burning.

The nightlife here is just getting started.

"I'll get out of the car and buy something!"

Chen Haodong parked the car, got out of the car, walked into a convenience store not far away, and came out with a bulging plastic bag ten minutes later.

After he got in the car, he threw the bag directly to Chang An.

"What's that?"

Chang An opened it and looked at it, a big bag full of food, from snacks, yogurt, canned coffee to sandwiches, what does this mean?

"What are you doing with so much food?"

"I don't know how long I'll have to wait, I'm afraid you'll be hungry for a while. ”

“……”

Chang An could probably already guess who was waiting here, she lowered the back of the chair a little, changed it to something slightly more comfortable, and put a headset in her ear when she lay down......
