After driving for about 40 minutes on the ring highway, I sent Zhao Mu to the "Xuanwu Hotel" where he lived. When we parted, no one spoke, and then I drove back to the "Tulip Hotel" where I was staying, and this is the fate of two men who have no home, and we live in different hotels but have their own thoughts.

When I got back to the hotel, I took a hot shower and lay down on my bed, scrolling through the news on my phone. A moment later, I saw the entertainment section, which had a special report about Xiao Ai's concert. At a glance, this discerning person knew that this was a propaganda that had spent a lot of money, not only a lot of space, but also a detailed report on Xiao Ai's experience related to singing over the years.

I don't know if I'm happy or not, but she's already getting faster and faster on the road to fame, which means she's going to have more complicated relationships. She is not sociable, she really needs someone who can go to the soup for her, Zhao Mu feels that she can go to the soup for her, but she doesn't like Zhao Mu...... Their relationship is like black and white, so clear that you can see it at a glance.

……

The next day, the sky cleared and the temperature climbed, so from the moment I got up, I only wore a shirt and went to the office early.

In the morning, I received good news from Wang Er from Tianjin, that the design team he led had joined Master Ge's engineering team, and as long as the design plan was approved, they could immediately enter the construction site and start construction.

According to the contract I signed with Qiao Ye, in the afternoon, the company's account had 20% more of the first batch of project money, totaling 1.86 million. Wang Er is not wrong, as long as this project is won, it will be enough for the company to eat for a year or two.

This is the first time that I have taken charge of an entire company on my own, and since there are no shareholders, I have no shareholders, so I have to make all the profits personally, excluding personnel costs and (daily) expenses. This is a good industry for me, because the characteristics of this industry are not very dependent on funds, so I don't need extra investment, as long as I find a few more heavyweight partners, I can make a lot of money.

This afternoon, I went to visit some local real estate executives in Nanjing, and when I learned that Jiangjian Group and Tulip Hotel are my cooperative customers, they both showed their desire to cooperate to a certain extent. So many years of experience have taught me that as long as I keep an eye on them, I can still reach a cooperative relationship with several of them.

In addition, it's time for me to change the car, not just for **, because I personally run a lot of the company's business, a more high-end car, will get more trust, just like a business card to carry with me, so this is also a necessary investment for me.

I went to the 4S store in the evening, first replaced my existing Mercedes-Benz car, and then bought a low-profile Maserati Levante worth 1.1 million in the form of a loan. I felt good about myself because of this, and I felt that this ((forced bi)bi) was not bad, and that evening, before the 4S store got off work, I drove away the only existing car.

When passing by the Xuanwu Gate, I stopped the car and asked a fashionably dressed girl to take a photo with the car in the background. Then I posted this group photo on my circle of friends and wrote a caption "Give myself the gift of my upcoming 30th birthday"......

Lighting my first cigarette of the day, I just took the phone, sat down on the bench next to the car, and enjoyed the beautiful looking twilight.

The ancient city walls, which are full of history, become tranquil and peaceful under the setting sun, and the birds flying under the clouds are the most free...... I was unconsciously substituted into it, and I felt that I was a big white dove who didn't care about the world and only wanted to be free.

I don't know when it started, the phone will vibrate every few minutes, my circle of friends began to have a universal celebration atmosphere, everyone is happy for me to change the car, and a few employees in the company forwarded my circle of friends, praising me for being young and promising, and I followed the right boss.

Yes, that's the effect of a good car, and it gives confidence not only to customers, but also to employees. However, the people who were really close to me paid no attention to them, as if their world was cut off from me. Or, in their eyes, it's just a change of car, and there's nothing to comment on. After all, they have all seen the world.

……

Driving back to Tulip Road, I didn't go to the hotel, but to the newly renovated house, where I had to open all the windows and let the smell of decoration go. I need to do this for a week, and then I can end my hotel life and move in.

Park the car, it happened that there was a Mercedes-Benz big G parked next to it, I can't figure out the configuration (qing) situation, the lowest configuration is also worth a lot more than my highest configuration, so I couldn't help but take a look inside, and found that there were a few big-mouthed monkey pillows on the back seat. Don't think about it, you know that it's Chen Yi's car, because these pillows were given to her by me a few years ago.

Only then did I realize that my circle was already full of people who were either rich or noble, and they were not the same as before. No wonder everyone doesn't care that I changed cars. To be honest, this feeling is not good, because no matter how hard you try, there will still be many people in front of you who are more successful than you, and if you are unwilling, you can only follow the footsteps of others for a lifetime.

I stood next to the car for a while, then wiped the dirty area with a rag before walking towards the elevator entrance......

Once I was in my room, I left all the windows open, and then stood at the window of my bedroom as usual, looking out at the busy street, thinking only of what to eat later for dinner.

Gradually, my eyes felt tired, and Xiao Ai's face appeared in the distant lights. She walked on the street alone, but she protected herself very well, because she wore a very long coat (tao......

In an instant, I came back to my senses because of the sound of the whistle coming from downstairs, and then I suddenly remembered what I had thought about some time ago but hadn't done yet.

I took out my phone and finally sent a message to Qiu Zi'an: "Have you had time lately?" I want to meet you at a location. ”

After a short while, Qiu Zi'an replied to the message: "Is there something (qing) that is inconvenient to say on the phone?" ”

"It's not convenient to say it on the phone, because it may be something you don't want to talk to me about, and you sent me away in a few words on the phone, but it's different when you meet."

"Hehe, is it about Chen Yi?"

"Let's meet......"

Qiu Zi'an is still a cheerful person, he replied: "No problem, I will go to Nanjing on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and we will meet then." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After ending the conversation with Qiu Zi'an, my heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, I hope he can give me the truth about Yuan Zhen's departure from Apocalypse Media back then, but I am afraid that behind this truth there is a bloody and unacceptable fact.

I have a strong premonition that if I follow the clue of Yuan Zhen's departure from Apocalypse Media, many problems that I can't figure out will be solved.

In this anticipation and dreading mood, I lit my second cigarette of the day...... It wasn't until Chen Yi knocked on the door that I hadn't closed that I jumped out of this mood, and then turned to look at Chen Yi, who was holding a handbag in her hand, as if she was going out......

She asked me, "Are you here to ventilate the house again?" ”

"Hmm...... Renovation workers said it would take a week to get rid of the smell inside. ”

"Oh." Chen Yi nodded, then smiled again and said to me: "I just saw your circle of friends, congratulations, you have changed to a new car...... So, why don't you invite your friends over for a meal and celebrate for you...... It just so happens that I haven't gotten together with Qin Miao and Qiao Ye for a long time. ”

"Okay, it's a good reason to party, you set a time, I'll go to the contact, let's eat at the Wutong Hotel."

Chen Yi thought for a while and replied, "Then the night after tomorrow, I have time the night after tomorrow." ”

"But I don't have time the day after tomorrow, I've already made an appointment on that day."

Chen Yi proposed: "Whoever you have made an appointment, or call for a get-together, they are all your friends anyway." ”

After I was silent for a moment, I still replied truthfully: "Qiu Zi'an...... Don't you mind? ”

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "There's nothing to mind...... Even if there is a past between us, it was several years ago; Besides, the entertainment industry is so big, even if you don't see it today, you will have a chance to meet it in the future...... But, Jiang Qiao, how did you get in touch with him? No matter how you look at it, you are not people of the same world. ”

I explained, "You just returned to China, and there are some things you may not have heard of...... A few days ago, I was in Beijing, and I got into trouble with Cao Yang because of some personal matters, and finally asked Qiu Zi'an to come forward to contact Cao Yang's cousin Le Yao, and then solved this contradiction...... It's me who owes him a person (情qing). ”

"You can be more realistic...... You are not a person in the circle, how can you provoke Cao Yang? …… I think it's 100% for Xiao Ai. ”

I was a little embarrassed to be told by Chen Yi, so after a little silence, I replied: "Yes, the matter (Qingqing) is a bit complicated, and there are many things involved, I think it's okay to pick and choose the key points." ”

Chen Yi stared at me for a long time this time before he said again: "You asked Qiu Zi'an this time, it shouldn't be just to thank you, right?" ”

I still didn't hide it, but after a moment of silence, I replied: "It's not to thank you, I asked him to find out the truth about Yuan Zhen's departure from Tianqi Media, and he, as one of the shareholders, will know a little more...... There is one more thing (qing) ......" Speaking of this, I subconsciously frowned, and then said again in a low tone: "Yuan Zhen, he died more than a year ago...... Died in the United States, buried in a small town in Erlan, and now not many people know about it. ”

Chen Yi was shocked by the news, and he couldn't say anything for a long time, and I lit the third cigarette of the day. At this moment, I don't care that my quit work is ruined, because the heart (emotion) is more important to me. Especially after my career became more and more successful, I wanted to explore the unsolved mysteries of the year, but for me, this is not to solve the pastime after food and clothing, but to pull out a thorn in my heart, which has been stinging me for two years.

Once, I thought I had been anesthetized by life, but whenever I was awake, I still felt a pain that pierced my heart, and I had to pursue the truth.
