Yang Jin on the other end of the phone was still waiting for my reply, and after a while of silence, I whispered to her: "I had a little conflict with her tonight, maybe she is still angry." ”

Yang Jin's tone didn't change much, and she asked, "What's wrong with the two of you?" ”

I didn't want to sell Yang Qu's bag, and then she lied to tell Yang Jin about selling my guitar, but she replied lightly: "There is a little misunderstanding...... I misunderstood her...... Don't worry, I'll go find her, and I'll message you when I have a message. ”

"Go quickly, this girl is not deeply involved in the world, and her understanding of this society is very limited, I am afraid that she will suffer."

I answered, and ended this call with Yang Jin, but it was not so good in my heart.

She could make several phone calls in a row because she was worried about Yang Qu, but she left me alone to live in Nanjing for nearly 20 years. Is it in her heart that I was born with superpowers and can survive in this society in all directions? In fact, I have been struggling at the bottom of society all these years, and Zhao Chu's parents and the death of Zhao Chu are the first scars in my life; is not the right door with Chen Yi, it is the second scar. For 20 years, I have been like a lonely fish, swimming desperately with the fear of being overwhelmed by life at any time......

I exhaled heavily, and all these emotions that I couldn't vent back to my heart, because all the grievances and unwillingness were not the reason why I didn't care about Yang Qu's life or death on this night.

I took my phone out of my pocket and made a call to Liu Liu. When he answered the phone, the first thing that came over was the expected sound of heavy metal music, and he was fooling around in the bar, probably drinking a lot of alcohol.

I said to him, "Can you find a quiet place, I ask you to help find someone." ”

"You wait a minute."

I waited for about a minute for him to be quiet, and then I heard him light a cigarette and he opened his mouth to me and asked, "What did you just tell me?" ”

"I have a younger sister who came to Shanghai, and when we were having dinner together, I lost my temper with her a little bit and ran away with her...... She doesn't know her well here, I'm afraid she's going to the bar, you know a lot of people here, so I want to ask you to help find it. ”

"You've found the right person, you can send me a photo of her right away, and I'll send it to the WeChat circle of friends, if she is really in a bar in Shanghai, I'll give you a message."

I didn't have a polite conversation with Liu Liu, and after hanging up the phone, I found a photo from Yang Qu's circle of friends and copied it to Liu Liu. After that, I left the apartment myself and started looking for a bar nearby.

I don't know if this is a futile effort, because Yang Qu is more likely to go to the hotel to rest in addition to the bar, but I haven't waited for her reply, and my heart is always not so settled.

……

After looking for nearly an hour, I sat down on a bench on the side of the road, and then took my phone out of my pocket and looked at it, but there was still no reply from Yang Qu, but there was a WeChat message from Zhao Mu. He asked me, "Brother Qiao, how was your time in Shanghai?" ”

"Okay...... Preparing to open a music bar with friends is considered to have found a new purpose in life...... What about you, is it still going well abroad? ”

"I'm fine, too...... Yesterday afternoon, I sent an application to the headquarters of Jinding Real Estate to transfer back to Nanjing...... Although it is unlikely to be approved, I still want to give it a try, and I feel that Nanjing is my home. ”

"Well, it is definitely much better to be in Nanjing than to stay abroad, and there are more opportunities, after all, you can have direct contact with the senior management of the headquarters...... By the way, how have you been with Yu Xin recently? ”

After a while, Zhao Mu replied, "It's always been good...... When I left Nanjing some time ago, I bought a three-bedroom house in Qinhuai District, and Yu Xin has always helped with the decoration. ”

I am happy for Zhao Mu in my heart, because I feel that what he and Yu Xin are experiencing is a relationship for the purpose of marriage. If his parents and Zhao Chuquan knew about it, they would definitely be happy for him...... I think that as long as he and Yu Xin can manage this relationship well, they will definitely become an enviable pair in the eyes of others. Because Zhao Mu is highly educated and has a high income; Yu Xin, a beautiful and sweet song, is a sociable and emotionally intelligent girl, and the family they formed will definitely have a good quality of life.

Then, I thought about myself again, and I really felt that a lot of things were on the line. Originally, I could have lived a good life, because I used to have a love for the purpose of marriage.

In my distraction, the phone rang in my hand again, and I found that it was Liu Liu calling, I answered it instantly, and then asked him, "Is there any news of Yang Qu?" ”

Liu Liu, who was on the other end of the phone, replied confidently: "I said, as long as she is in the bar, no matter which one it is, I will give you the news...... You hurry to the xylose bar now, she's there and hasn't drunk much yet......"

"Is that a clear bar or a hi bar......

"Qing bar, it was opened by a singer who played folk songs, and the people who went were some petty bourgeoisie and business people, and the environment was not complicated," he stopped, and asked with a smile: "What kind ......of sister is that, I can see that you are very nervous about her, and even small details such as Qing Bar or Hi Bar have to be inquired!" ”

I hesitated for a moment before replying vaguely, "It's my own sister." ”

"Yo, then you're really going to be optimistic...... In the short time I've been posting on Moments, there have been more than 20 young men begging to date, and I don't think they're joking...... Damn, you're about to buy me with money! ”

I smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated...... Alright, I'll have to go to the bar and find her, so I won't tell you yet...... Tomorrow we will invite you to dinner, and we will just meet and talk about the business ideas of the bar. ”

"No problem, then you go to your sister, I'll continue to go back to the bar."

After the call with Liu Liu ended, I had more confidence in my heart about opening a bar in the old factory...... Because through Yang Qu's departure, I have learned more about Liu Liu's network resources in this area, as long as we can make full use of these resources, the plan to transform the old factory into a bar will definitely have a future.

……

Riding in a taxi through the streets flooded by night, I quietly watched the lights in the distance. Immediately, a familiar loneliness swelled up in my heart. This kind of loneliness is like walking alone in the cool dark night of autumn, without even a comforting cigarette. But the whole city is big and bizarre, and any light that comes from it seems to be a sharp weapon that can divide everything, making you scream desperately in your heart while making your body incomplete...... Where exactly is happiness?

Happiness is like a bottomless abyss, you chase, chase, you fall, it doesn't matter, you have to get by.

Fifteen minutes later, I came to the "xylose bar" according to the information Liu Liu gave me, the bar was not big, there were only about 20 tables, some large and some small, and Yang Qu was sitting opposite the resident singer, and there was a bottle of foreign wine in front of him that might sell for two or three thousand yuan in the bar.

I walked into the bar and pulled out a chair and sat down across from her, she finally put down the phone she had been fiddling with in her hand and looked up at me incredulously.

In order not to make the atmosphere as tense as before, I said with a slight joke: "Don't be surprised, in the bars in Shanghai, there are no people I can't find in Jiangqiao, this is the power of resources!" ”

Yang Qu glanced at me and replied, "How good you are, a person who only has a few hundred yuan in his pocket, it seems that all the bars in Shanghai are opened by you." ”

"But I found you, is it true?"

"Because you are of a dog."

I didn't mind being scolded by her, I just picked up the foreign wine that she basically didn't drink much in front of her, poured myself a glass, and after drinking it, I said to her: "Today's guitar thing is that I am too vigilant, so my behavior is very out of control...... I admit that what I did was wrong, and I hope you don't take it to heart...... You know, I'm not a person who likes to apologize and admit mistakes, so everything I'm saying to you now, for me, is hard! But also from the heart. ”

"If you continue to pretend, the ghost will know what kind of person you are......"

At this time, I took a little gap and sent a message to Yang Jin. Tell her that I have found Yang Qu.

I put down my phone, then looked up at her, and said to her, "It's not too early, if you think you can turn the page here today, find a place to rest...... Tomorrow, I'll cook you another meal, guaranteed to be more hearty than today. ”

"I can't turn it over, but I still have to thank you, you made me understand that reality is much more skinny than fantasy, before I saw you, I always felt that you were a humble gentleman, after seeing you, I really want to send you back to your mother's womb and go back to the furnace to transform again......"

I was a little upset and immediately replied, "You're still me off!" ”

Yang Qu glanced at me and hurriedly held back her unfinished thousand words. Yes, what she said was not so good, at least in my opinion, she was satirizing my lack of homeschooling since I was a child.

But her quick act of shutting up proves that she was unintentional. Therefore, we are far more prone to conflicts with each other than ordinary people. But why this is happening, I don't understand so much for the time being. may be because, although we are both Yang Jin's children, one is born but not raised, and the other is charming in the halo, this imbalance will cause a serious imbalance in my mentality.

Thinking about it this way, I found that this is indeed the case, because I am really sensitive in front of Yang Qu, and I care more about my life experience than ever before.

I poured myself another glass of wine and drank it with my head up. At this time, Yang Qucai said to me again: "If you want to make this thing a flip, you can do it, but you have to tell me why you are so precious about that guitar." Really, I don't doubt it at all, if I fell into the river with that guitar, you would have rescued it first, but I'm your own sister! ”

I smiled, picked up the glass and shook it, then laughed at myself, "You really have wine, I have a story......"

Although I said this, I didn't want to talk about my past with Xiao Ai in this depressed night. So, before he was about to leave, he said to her: "If you really want to hear it, I will tell you it tomorrow when I have dinner." ”

"Okay."

I got up, took the bottle of wine that I had not yet drunk, and prepared to take it back to my lodgings and save it for the morrow. But just as I turned around, Yang Qu stopped me again, and she said, "Then can you tell me who gave you that guitar?" ”

I turned to look at her for a long time before replying, "Xiao Ai......"

……

When I got back to my accommodation, I washed up and lay down on the bed, I seemed to have dreamed a lot, but when I woke up in the morning, I couldn't remember any of them. I sat on the bed for a long time, and it wasn't until the sun flushed the water from the glass on the table that I left the bed and began the morning half-day that wasn't particularly planned.

However, I have not been idle, I have been working on the computer, doing the investment feasibility analysis report of the hotel and bar, I hope to get the investment from Qiao Ye as soon as possible, and then build the bar and the hotel.

Before I knew it, it was already noon, and I thought it was time to call Liu Liu, and we agreed last night that we would discuss the future business positioning and ideas of the bar today.

Just when I picked up my phone, I found that there was a missed call from Qin Miao. I know that she generally doesn't contact me without important things. So, I called her back on the phone, and she was quickly connected.

I asked her, "Is there anything wrong with calling me?" ”

With a little emotion, Qin Miao replied: "I have always felt that I am a very businessman character, but compared to your mother, it is really a small thing!" ”

I subconsciously thought that they had a dispute over the cooperation in the construction of the hotel, and just when I was about to inquire further, Qin Miao said to me again: "It's not a dispute between our group and her, it's the ...... of Jinqiu."

I couldn't believe my ears, in my memory, Jin Qiu had been by Yang Jin's side before and after the saddle, how could there be a dispute between them?

I was silent for a moment and then asked Qin Miao, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Qin Miao sighed, and only replied after a long time: "Didn't I tell you before that Jinqiu's wedding company has suffered a very serious public relations crisis?" After these two days of development, the whole incident has worsened. Many customers have asked to terminate their cooperation with Jinqiu, on the grounds that they don't want the bad luck of their employees dying suddenly at the wedding to affect their own weddings...... I heard that this is another wedding company that has been suppressed by Jin Qiu, they not only create a terrifying atmosphere among these customers, but also say that as long as the customer terminates the contract with Jin Qiu and goes to their side, all the fees will be discounted......"

I asked with doubts, "But what does this have to do with Yang Jin?" ”

"Do you think she gave Jin Qiu's hotel shares for nothing! …… In fact, she started to lay out a year ago, she first supported the wedding company established by Jin Qiu to relatively monopolize the local wedding market in Nanjing, and then took advantage of the trend to make a wedding-themed hotel. Jin Qiu's ability is really strong, she has succeeded, and the wedding company has also succeeded, directly occupying most of the local high-end consumer groups in Nanjing, you can imagine what an important resource for a five-star hotel with a wedding theme! …… However, now this resource has come to naught in a blink of an eye, so Yang Jin immediately found an appraisal company to evaluate Jinqiu's wedding company, thinking that it was impossible to gain the previous share of the high-end market, so he terminated the cooperation with Jinqiu...... What's even more excessive is that her new partner is the wedding company that is making trouble behind the golden autumn...... Hehe, I can now understand why she was so successful...... Because she doesn't look at people when she does business, let alone human feelings, she only looks at returns! ”

After hearing the news, I was speechless for a long, long time...... Because I don't understand what kind of person Yang Jin is, and what's even more incredible is that Jin Qiu, a woman who will never be associated with failure in my eyes, has failed so completely this time!

What is even more incomprehensible is that Yang Jin not only did not pull her at the critical moment, but also terminated the cooperative relationship with her. From this point of view, she is really just a pawn that Yang Jin can sacrifice at any time in the mall!
