In the VIP ward, Yang Jin put her bag on the coffee table, she tucked the quilt for her grandmother, and then opened the window again, the smell of the potion in the ward faded a little, and I never stood face to face with her. I thought that her evasive attitude would make her give up communicating with me, but she still asked me, "Where have you been these days?" ”

"Taipei."

Yang Jin turned her head to look at me, I thought she would ask me what I was doing, but this time she didn't do it, she just said to me: "Your grandmother can't eat much, you go to the porridge shop opposite the hospital and buy her a bowl of pumpkin porridge." ”

"Hmm."

I answered, then turned around and walked out the door, and Yang Jin's driver was standing outside the door, and I finally felt a little more comfortable, because I knew that she wouldn't stay here for long, otherwise the driver wouldn't be waiting for her here.

When I got downstairs, I remembered that I didn't even have the money to buy a bowl of pumpkin porridge, but fortunately there was a bank card left by Chen Yi, but I forgot to ask her for the password yesterday, so I hurriedly sent her a message.

I stood in front of the porridge shop and waited for her reply, and when I was idle, I lit myself a cigarette and looked at the subway opening across the street to the underground. The first time I saw a wandering singer playing a guitar in the city, I didn't care what he was singing, I just cared about how he felt when he was down. Is it that they are willing to drift like this from the bottom of their hearts for the sake of freedom? Will there be a feeling of loneliness under the enchanting light?

If there's a way to make people happier than having a home, then what else do I want to call home, I can also carry my beloved guitar and wander the world for a person.

After smoking a cigarette, Chen Yi didn't reply to my message, so I hurriedly dialed her, but what I got was a voice prompt that the phone had been turned off. I know she's probably on the scene of the show.

After being stunned for a moment, I smiled wryly and snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand, and then threw it into the trash bin next to me. I laughed at myself that I had no money for a bowl of porridge in Shanghai, the place where it was most necessary to show off my wealth and ability!

Just when I was worried about the dozens of dollars, I saw Jin Qiu walking on the sidewalk across the street towards the hospital, and I was stunned for a moment before calling out to her. She looked back at me, perhaps surprised that she hadn't expected me to come back so soon, and she looked at me again, and then walked towards me away from the traffic passing on the street.

I was still angry with her, but I couldn't find anyone else to help for a while, so I cheekily said, "I want to buy a bowl of pumpkin porridge for grandma, but I don't have any cash on me, you can borrow some." ”

Jin Qiu asked very happily, "How much?" ”

"I want to buy some more food, borrow 100 yuan, and I'll pay you back later."

Jin Qiu took out 100 yuan from his wallet, and wanted to hand it to me, but suddenly said: "Don't borrow it, I'm just going to go up to see grandma, I bought it for her to eat, filial piety, you don't need to share anything between you and me, right?" ”

"Then you can buy it, and buy me two more plum cabbage button meatloaf."

"It's okay to eat snacks, I'll invite you out for dinner, just to talk to you about something, and Qiao Ye."

I was a little puzzled, because I always thought that Qiao Ye had returned to Nanjing, but I didn't expect to stay in Shanghai, and I was even more puzzled about what serious things Jin Qiu would talk about when he called him, in my memory, the two of them have never been all the way, but Qin Miao and Jin Qiu have a good relationship.

Back in the hospital ward, Yang Jin was still accompanying her grandmother, her face was not very good-looking, obviously caused by overwork, and her grandmother's spirit was even worse, and she had begun to struggle to speak.

Jin Qiu was about to put the porridge on the table, but Yang Jin nodded to her and motioned for her to give the porridge to herself. Jin Qiu's attitude towards Yang Jin was very obedient, and he immediately complied.

Yang Jin held the box of porridge in one hand and stood up the pillow with the other, so that grandma could eat more comfortably, she said to grandma: "Mom, drink some pumpkin porridge, I just asked Jiangqiao to buy it, it is very stomach-nourishing." ”

Jin Qiu, who was closest to her grandmother, hurriedly helped her up, and her grandmother looked at Yang Jin and then at Jin Qiu, but turned to me and said, "Qiao, you accompany Jin Qiu out for a walk, and I will talk to your mother alone for a while." ”

Although I wanted to know what my grandmother would talk to Yang Jin, I still respected her and left the ward with Jin Qiu. However, when I thought that my grandmother might say something about entrusting me to Yang Jin because she was critically ill, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

……

In a high-end western restaurant near the hospital, Qiao Ye was already sitting waiting for me and Jin Qiu, and his serious face made me inevitably take a few more looks. I thought he would tell me something about Su Han and the child, but looking at Jin Qiu next to me, I felt that it was unlikely, because it was impossible for him to talk about such a topic in front of Jin Qiu, so I was even more confused.

I finally asked him, "Who set up this dinner today?" ”

"I'm here to invite you and talk about cooperation."

Qiao Ye said and poured me a glass of red wine, which was simply a high-end business negotiation. Although I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, because it was too ripe to be cooked, I didn't take it too seriously, and even thought it was a tricky prank.

Jin Qiu and I sat down opposite Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye shook his wine glass, and said to me very businessmanly: "Jiang Qiao, we are already so familiar with each other, and I won't go around the bend with you." I actually came to Shanghai this time to look for you, and I didn't want you to be distracted when I was in Taipei, so I didn't say anything about it...... But I looked at the calendar, and today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, so I'm going to talk to you today......"

Qiao Ye spoke so officially, so formally, which caught my attention, I put down my glass and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Qiao Ye pursed his lips and took a sip of red wine, before continuing: "The textile factory on Tulip Road has been completely demolished, but the construction unit that undertook it, your mother did not plan to open the bidding, she directly found a construction company in Nantong...... Our company's budget staff budgeted for this hotel, and its construction cost was as high as 800 million, which is a big project for any construction unit...... So our company hopes to take it down. I talked to Jin Qiu a few times, and then I talked to your mother on the phone once, expressing my idea of taking on this project, but they unanimously agreed that this matter needs to be approved by you, and in the end, as long as you are willing to nod, this project is our company's ......"

After a pause, Qiao Ye emphasized: "If I can go next this time, it will be the biggest project I got after taking over the company, this is the best opportunity to prove my ability, so I am not willing to give up to other construction companies, not to mention that the strength of our company is also obvious to all in the entire construction industry, and it is a choice for a strong alliance to hand over to our company, it depends on whether you Jiangqiao is willing to sell me this favor." ”

I looked at Jin Qiu beside me in surprise, she and Yang Jin were simply good means, because as long as I nodded and agreed, no matter whether I accepted the shares of the hotel or not, but I had already received their favor because of my brother, then what qualifications did I have to put on a self-righteous appearance in front of them? But if I refuse, it will hurt Qiao Ye again, after all, this is the first time in his life that he has asked me to do something seriously.

I was once again in a dilemma, I felt that my insistence was so naïve and ridiculous in front of Yang Jin and Jin Qiu's methods, they really didn't need to work too hard to master me.
