Zhang Ke led Zhitong to let Zhou Wenbin go to the company first to take down the gifts given to Tang Jing, and turned to the residential community of the faculty and staff of the Normal College, knowing that it was inconvenient to come to the door at this time, so he hung up the phone for Tang Jing outside the community.

Tang Jing came downstairs in a snow-white down jacket, her white and tender skin lined with red lips and smart eyes became more and more beautiful, she would get into the car, first hugged Zhitong's little face and kissed her, and then said to Zhang Ke: "You don't tell me when you go to Hong Kong to play?" I'm crazy at home, didn't that Xiao Wen take the initiative to ask for your homework, why did you come to me? I'm so enthusiastic every day, and I can't stand it. The key is that I need to catch up on my homework, right? In addition to tutoring every day, I also have to practice calligraphy ......"

Zhang Ke thought of Liu Minghui's girlfriend, was speechless for a while, and immediately took out a gift to comfort Tang Jing. Tang Jing is not in a hurry to unpack the box, there are many people who come to the house every year, which makes her upset, and she receives a call from Zhang Ke, where is one or two gifts can be sent, she told her mother to go to Zhang Ke's house for dinner before going downstairs.

Zhang Ke thought to himself that the situation at home was not much quieter than Tang Xueqian, but there was a difference in the level of the people who came to give gifts. Zhang Ke didn't mind, and said to Tang Jing: "Don't talk nonsense about what you see at my house." ”

"Do you have gift-givers in your house?" Tang Jing asked strangely.

"There will be," Zhang Ke smiled, "We'll play with Zhitong in the room and ignore them." When he said it, he didn't think about it, but after speaking, he remembered that his tongue had been bitten for so many days, and he hadn't taught Tang Jing a good lesson, and he looked at Tang Jing with unruly eyes, which was a little more provocative. Let Zhou Wenbin drive them back to the agency compound.

In broad daylight, the gift-giver still has some scruples about going to the compound, and many heads and brains of the Municipal Direct Travel Bureau live in this courtyard, and the people in the compound can see clearly who goes to whose house. Even if it is a good excuse to give gifts for the New Year, after all, after the Ding Xiangshan case, the gift-giving atmosphere in Haizhou City is also a little sober, Zhang Ke saw many people probing their brains outside the yard, and there were not many strangers walking around in the yard. Mainly because the sky has not darkened, and the heads and brains have not yet returned home.

Many people saw the Audi car entering, but they thought it was a gift for a certain leader, and only the people in the courtyard knew that Zhang Zhixing's son had returned.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing each took Zhitong's hand and walked to the third floor, heard laughter in the door, knocked on the door, and saw Uncle Zhang Zhifei in the living room, Uncle Zhang Zhiwei, cousin Zhang Yi, and Uncle Zhang Zhifei's daughter and cousin Zhang Mei were all there. The uncle bought a house in the city, and Zhang Mei had a winter vacation, so the aunt took her to live in the city.

Uncle Zhang Zhiwei saw Zhang Ke and them coming in, and said with a smile: "Just talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Zhang Ke also wanted that there was a group of strangers sitting in the living room, and he happened to have an excuse to hide in the room with Tang Jing, and when he saw them, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Didn't you say the midday plane?" Uncle Zhang Zhifei said with a smile, "We have been sitting here for an afternoon, and I thought you could go home first, but I didn't expect to go to see Tang Jing first." ”

It's okay if the uncle doesn't say this, but when he says it, Zhang Ke takes a kick from Tang Jing, only to endure it, who didn't let him go to Tang Jing for the first time?

Zhang Mei had just entered junior high school, and the little girl was timid in front of the living.

Liang Gezhen walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, saw Zhitong and Tang Jing, and said with a smile: "I just thought that Jingjing and Zhitong would come to the house for dinner, what about Zhitong's mother?" ”

"The company is going to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, Sister Wanqing is the boss of the company, how can she go?"

Zhang Zhifei knew that the previous Kumho was actually Zhang Ke's personal, and now that Xie Wanqing is in charge of Kumho's daily affairs, he is a little confused about the situation, and he has never had the opportunity to catch Zhang Ke and ask clearly.

Liang Gezhen sighed: "To manage such a big company, it's enough for her to work hard, Zhitong will go back to the provincial capital tomorrow, right?" I helped them get their New Year's goods ready. ”

Tang Jing obviously didn't want to sit in the living room and chat with a group of people she didn't know very well, so she pulled Zhitong and hid in Zhang Ke's room.

Zhang Ke asked his mother, "When will Dad come back?" ”

Uncle Zhang Zhifei said with a smile: "The city has to organize a big inspection before the year, and it is good that your father can come back before twelve o'clock, don't count on him for dinner." Pointing to Zhang Yi and saying, "Zhang Yi came to work in the city during the Spring Festival, and he first came to my company to work." ”

For this cousin, I can't talk about a good feeling, and I don't talk about a bad feeling, and some of them have transferred their resentment towards the uncle to him, and the relationship has always been very indifferent, and they almost forgot that they were cousins. Zhang Ke smiled and said: "I am a national cadre working in the Dongshe Civil Affairs Bureau, what is the interest of going to Hongyuan, and I will not be able to go." ”

Zhang Zhifei smiled, knowing that Zhang Ke was reluctant to Zhang Yi to come to the city, but Zhang Yi had been grinding his ears for half a year, he was caught in the middle of it and it was difficult to be a person, pretending not to understand the meaning of Zhang Ke's words, and took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand: "You are not uncommon for this New Year's money, but you still have to give it......" Uncle Zhang Zhiwei hurriedly took out the red envelope and stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand together.

Others can't do it, uncle's red envelopes can't be refused, so he simply put both red envelopes in the bag.

There is uncle Zhang Zhiwei and cousin Zhang Yi, Zhang Ke regretted not staying in the company for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after dinner, Zhang Ke asked Xiao Shu to send Tang Jing back, he and Zhitong also got into Xiao Shu's car, got in the car but asked Xiao Shu: "There is nothing else at night, right?" Seeing the uncle shaking his head, "Then send us to the night market to play, it's still early at this time, and Tang Jing is quite bored when she goes home." ”

Tang Jing raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: Count yourself as knowledgeable, otherwise if you go back like this, it is better to lock yourself in the room at the beginning.

The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and many busy citizens have delayed until today to prepare New Year's goods.

There are several night markets in the city, and the real lively and fun is the street market in Sha Tin. It is densely populated, and it is the old town of Haizhou City, and even retains the tradition of temple fairs.

The night market in Sha Tin is very crowded, and cars can't drive in, so they park outside. Girls like gadgets, Tang Jing and her cousin Zhang Mei stand still everywhere they go, Zhang Ke is only responsible for dragging Zhitong tightly, lest she turn around too excitedly and there will be no one. After watching one stall after another, Tang Jing picked a lot of things, which seemed to make her like more than the jewelry that Zhang Ke brought from Hong Kong. I want to give her mother too strict a discipline, and there are few opportunities to come out to breathe, so I am extremely excited.

Zhang Mei is not angry now, little girl, seeing that Tang Jing is older than her and so beautiful, she is very envious, and she is very envious, following Tang Jing, Tang Jing helped her pick a few fancy hairpins, and she was proud.

While visiting the night market, Zhang Ke explained the situation in Kumho to his uncle. Zhang Zhifei was also quite surprised to hear that Xie Wanqing had put all the foundations of Haiyu Company into Kumho, so that Kumho would no longer be a shell company, and maybe Hongyuan would have to rely on Kumho in the future.

"And how big is your share now?"

"Thirty percent."

"Ah, so many?" Zhang Zhifei smacked his lips in amazement, "I've worked hard for twenty years, so you can catch up in half a year." ”

"What's wrong, it's sad?" Zhang Ke asked playfully.

"Yes, some," Zhang Zhifei laughed heartily, "Kumho's model also inspired me, I have been thinking recently that the company's assets are really nothing, and the resources that can be mobilized determine everything." Looking back, Kumho is also an empty shell, and in just a few months, the Xinguang Paper Mill has been revitalized, and now Haiyu has put all his family funds into Kumho, do you want to show your talents? ”

"I don't have any big ambitions," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "I was at the bottom of the grade in the final exam this time, and it was not a way to go on like this, so I handed Kumho to Sister Wanqing." ”

"Boy, what about your uncle, I believe you to meet a ghost," Zhang Zhifei said with a smile, "Is your old man's shell company, is it your idea, and the methods are very similar to Kumho?" ”

"How do you know that the company in the city has only erected an empty shell, and there has been no action a year ago."

"Your father has talked to me about this, others still can't see the significance of this shell company, your uncle still has some vision, this shell company actually controls the restructuring power of large and small state-owned enterprises in Haizhou, and the monopoly of resources in this area is too powerful. I'm surprised, Kumho is ready to show off his skills, how could you give you such an idea? ”

Zhang Ke knew that Uncle also saw the huge temptation of interests in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and said: "Uncle also plans to intervene? ”

"The void inside has been pierced by you, can I go and insert another leg?" Zhang Zhifei was a little frustrated, and then said, "I think, it won't be long before others will see some ways from Xinguang Paper Mill, and it's hard to guarantee that others don't want to intervene." At that time, the pressure on your father and Tang Xueqian will be great, and the interests will be so great that it will be difficult to say whether Zhou Fuming will be dragged into the water! ”

"If everyone could take a bite of the buffet, probably no one would have a problem?" Zhang Ke said sarcastically, "Kumho wants to do something, but it won't get involved in this piece, these things are too sensitive, no matter how you deal with it, you can't be innocent, it's better not to touch it." Zhang Ke didn't plan to hide anything from his uncle, Tang Xueqian and Zhou Fuming are now consolidating their positions and are in the honeymoon period, but the first and second leaders in the city don't get along much, not to mention that Tang Xueqian is a little strong in sex, which has not yet been reflected at this time, but after he and Zhou Fuming push down the common enemy of Wan Xiangqian, the contradiction between him and Zhou Fuming will probably be exposed.

Zhang Zhifei looked at Zhang Ke's face, under the street lamp of the night market, he was calm and calm, making people not feel that he had the impetuousness and immaturity of a young man. The proposal for the improvement of the Shugang River system and the surrounding waterways was passed in the minutes of the meeting of the municipal party committee before the end of the year, and was added to the municipal budget of the 95 year, and the city's finances were tight, and the entire project will definitely be dismantled and carried out in sections, and the Chengnan District and Xicheng District will also be responsible for each section, and several relatively large engineering companies in the city will have the most adequate preparatory work for Hongyuan.

Recalling all kinds of things that have happened since this summer, Zhang Zhifei is also full of emotion.

Zhang Ke and Uncle stood on the side chatting, but just dragged Zhitong to prevent her from walking blindly, and suddenly saw Tang Jing coming back and pulling him to the crowd in front of him, but he didn't see Zhang Mei coming back, and thought something was going on. When I walked over, I saw Chen Feirong's familiar figure, where she set up a stall, with some used books and magazines on the rainproof cloth, and people were standing behind the used book stall, looking for change for others. Although she was dressed very plainly, the color of the down jacket was a little dull and a little old, but in the ordinary crowd, Chen Feirong was still so eye-catching, there were many people standing or squatting in front of the used book stall, and Zhang Mei was squatting there to turn over the books on the stall.

"What's there to see?" Zhang Ke knew that Chen Feirong had a strong temperament, and she was not necessarily willing to let acquaintances see her setting up a stall here, and wanted to pull Tang Jing away, but Zhitong saw Chen Feirong, but she was very excited, screaming, breaking free of Zhang Ke's hand, and rushed to the front of the bookshelf.

Chen Feirong seemed to be smiling, her expression was a little stiff, Zhang Ke walked over and took Zhitong's hand, and said with a smile: "You are here......"

Tang Jing had no scheming, she pulled Zhang Ke over, purely out of envy of Chen Feirong. She walked up to Chen Feirong and said with envy: "You are so amazing, I also want to come out to set up a stall to sell things, but my mother won't let me." ”

Gu Jianping wants to agree with Tang Jing to come out and set up a stall, then there will be ghosts! Zhang Ke scratched his head, afraid that Chen Feirong would have a bitter hatred for the children of cadres like Tang Jing.

Chen Feirong said very plainly: "My house is near here, I can help my father watch it." Chen Feirong was just angry with Zhang Ke, and although she was a little indifferent to Tang Jing, she could also maintain the politeness and enthusiasm among her classmates.

Since Zhang Ke started working outside in the name of part-time work, Tang Jing has been full of yearning for part-time work. She said that she wanted to set up a stall, but she didn't just talk about it, and immediately begged Chen Feirong to give her a corner of the rainproof cloth, she put a bunch of gadgets she had just collected from other places on it, pulled Zhang Mei to stand over, and pretended to really set up a stall.

Zhang Ke had a headache, Chen Feirong set up a used bookstall to subsidize the family, and that kind of mood was not something that Tang Jingjiao could understand.

Chen Feirong set up a stall here, which is enough to attract attention, she is dressed more plainly, Tang Jing is wearing a snow-white down jacket, but the collar is hairy, which sets off her more and more pretty and charming.

Seeing that Xiao Zhitong was also very excited, she greeted her uncle across the crowd, asked him to wait in the car first, and asked him to hang up the phone to her father, I don't know when Tang Jing's excitement will dissipate.

Tang Jing didn't make a counteroffer when she collected these gadgets from the stall, and she wanted to sell them at a higher price at this time, which made several girls laugh. Tang Jing ruthlessly put all the jewelry that Zhang Ke brought back from Hong Kong on the rainproof cloth, Zhang Ke felt distressed when he saw it, but he just squatted down and turned over those old books in a muffled voice to prevent Zhitong from being too excited, and clamped her small body in her arms to prevent her from moving blindly.

Fortunately, Tang Jing was not stupid enough to sell the jewelry that Zhang Ke gave her as a stall, but the opening price was far from the true value of such jewelry. Fortunately, others will not spend dozens of yuan or hundreds of yuan to buy jewelry on the stall, otherwise Zhang Ke would even have the heart to cry. At ten o'clock, Zhang Zhifei came over with his eldest brother to let Tang Jing answer the phone, and her mother Gu Jianping urged her to go back, she had to end her first stall career, and even Zhang Mei was still unsatisfied.

Tang Jing packed up all her gadgets that had not been sold, and said to Chen Feirong: "Zhang Ke and I will come to you tomorrow morning to borrow this place, okay?" ”

Zhang Kexin said: I don't want to come! It is a pity that there is no room for him to express his opinion.

"Then I'll help you get a place next to me tomorrow morning." Chen Feirong said, "However, your things are so expensive, no one will want them." ”

If Tang Jing is for the purpose of selling, Zhang Ke would rather pay ten times the price to buy it, Chen Feirong and Tang Jing have talked and laughed, but they don't care about him, and they want to let Tang Jing pull over tomorrow to set up a stall, and they won't be uncomfortable to death?

Tang Jing scratched her head and said self-deprecatingly: "When we bought things in front, we didn't have a counteroffer, we will sell it cheaper tomorrow, it doesn't matter if we suffer a loss, the key is to practice, my father often told me so." He picked out a cat-shaped hairpin with crushed diamonds from his handbag and handed it to Chen Feirong, "Thank you for helping me occupy a place tomorrow." ”

"Just occupy a place...... Chen Feirong refused to accept Tang Jing's gift.

"Zhang Ke bought it from a stall, it's pretty good-looking, I have a lot of this kind of hairpin. Your hair is straighter than mine, and you must look better than me when you wear this hairpin. Tang Jing's hair is a little naturally curly, and Chen Feirong's hair is straight and has a good texture, which is much brighter than the down jacket fabric on her body.

To let Chen Feirong know that the broken diamonds in the hairpin are all real diamonds, and she probably won't accept them alive or dead, Zhang Ke will pick a few books under her armpit and say to Chen Feirong: "I won't pay for these books." ”

Chen Feirong hesitated for a moment and accepted the hairpin.

Tang Jing asked Chen Feirong if she wanted to drive her back, and Chen Feirong said that her father would come to pick her up.

At this time, there were still a lot of people, and Zhang Ke thought that Chen Feirong would not close the stall so early, so he took Zhitong's hand and squeezed out of the crowd.

##################################################################################

The next day, the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve of '94, the morning light had just spilled into the room through the cracks in the curtains, Zhang Ke was sleeping sweetly in the bed, feeling itchy ears, rubbing his eyes, unwilling to wake up, he had not slept so comfortably for a long time. Yesterday, Zhitong gave Tang Jing to occupy the past, and Zhang Ke was quiet.

It didn't take long for his ears to itch again, Zhang Ke reached out and grabbed his soft little hand, and when he shook it hard, Tang Jing screamed in pain.

"What time is it?" Zhang Ke reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes.

"It's not early, it's past seven o'clock! Yesterday, I asked Chen Feirong to help me occupy a place. Tang Jing wanted to pull out her hand to pull Zhang Ke up, but let Zhang Ke pull it, and the whole person fell on Zhang Ke's body. Tang Jing supported Zhang Ke's chest with her elbows, and saw Zhang Ke looking at her with an evil smile, shy, charming, struggling to get up, and asked Zhitong to help pull Zhang Ke's ears. Zhang Ke watched Zhitong climb into bed without taking off his shoes, and his heart hurt so much that he immediately jumped out of the bed.

Zhang Ke just finished washing, Wanqing came to pick up Zhitong back to the provincial capital, Zhang Ke helped the driver to move all the New Year's goods to the trunk, Zhitong obviously remembered the stall career in the night market, and was reluctant to go back to the provincial capital at this time, so as to say it, so as to give up the idea of pestering Tang Jing and Zhang Ke.

Sending Wanqing and Zhitong away, Zhang Ke returned upstairs to know that Tang Jing went back sooner or later and was excited and didn't sleep for half the night, and collected all the gadgets she had collected over the years, Zhang Ke opened the canvas schoolbag that Tang Jing took over, from cartoon books, alarm clocks, Barbie dolls, hairpins, etc., almost all of the girl's gadgets were in this canvas schoolbag, and the only thing that made Zhang Ke happy was that there was no gift he gave to Tang Jing.

Zhang Ke was suspicious that Gu Jianping would let Tang Jing go out with such a big bag of things, so he was not afraid that Tang Jing would run away from home?

Zhang Ke hung up the phone at Zhou Wenbin's house, asking him not to rush to take his annual leave from today, and asked him to drive over to pick them up and go to Sha Tin Market. It didn't take long for Zhang Mei to rush to his house, and the little girl was also carrying a bulging bag in her hand, Zhang Ke thought to himself that Zhang Mei, the girl, would also live here during the winter vacation, and after the winter vacation, she would go back to school in Dongshe, why would there be so many things here? Later, I learned that Uncle Zhang Zhifei planned to move his family to the city completely and help Xiaomei contact the junior high school of Haida High School, but Zhang Ke was not in Haizhou during this time, so it was not clear.

rushed to Sha Tin Market, Chen Qi, Chen Feirong, father and daughter were setting up a venue there, and there was no one in the market. Chen Feirong was wearing a hairpin given to her by Tang Jing yesterday, and when Zhang Ke saw it, he wondered if he had bought it for Chen Feirong, don't use the straight long hair, which makes Chen Feirong's white and tender face look particularly soft.

Chen Qi came over to help carry the things, and said to Zhang Ke: "Xu Si sent the eight hundred yuan from the factory last night, thank you for helping to speak, otherwise the factory would not send this money to Concubine Rong's mother." ”

"It's nothing, just a word in passing." Zhang Ke smiled.

Chen Qi mentioned that his family held a banquet on the third day of the Lunar New Year and invited Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke saw that Chen Feirong's expression was quite cold, and only said that he might have to go back to the countryside on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Help Tang Jing and them set up their things, Zhang Ke and Zhou Wenbin find a place to have breakfast. Danjing Lane, which sells tofu brains, is near here, and as soon as the tender and refreshing tofu brains are entered, Zhang Ke naturally thinks of Tang Jing's fragrant tongue, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to taste it again.

After breakfast and returning to the market, Tang Jing's side had already opened, and the expensive goods were sold cheaply, but Tang Jing was still very happy. The car stopped behind them, Zhang Ke lay down in the car to sleep, and he didn't feel that the street market outside was noisy, anyway, Xu Si knew that Tang Jing would not come over here, and it was inconvenient to leave Tang Jing to find Xu Si.

I don't know how long I slept, I heard someone knocking on the car window, looked up and saw Du Fei's face on the glass, pressed the car window, and asked Du Fei: "Why did you kid get here?" ”

"I knew that you and Tang Jing were here, so I came to play with you."

Zhang Ke looked up, the little girl in the bar, Sheng Xia, was really talking to Chen Feirong outside, it turned out that Du Fei knew the news from Sheng Qing. The military brand Audi is very eye-catching, and with the addition of Tang Jing and Chen Feirong, the two eye-catching beautiful girls, the news naturally spreads quickly.

Zhou Wenbin didn't know where he had gone, Du Fei opened the car door and got in, and said with a wink: "Boss, you are really good, when will you finish the two of them, and there is no intention of fighting when they coexist peacefully?" ”

Zhang Ke had the luxury of expecting so, but the fact was that Tang Jing was simple-minded and purely regarded Chen Feirong as a senior sister, and she didn't hear the rumors spread by other people. Zhang Ke saw Du Fei sitting in front of him touching the steering wheel, and took down the car key, this market is full of people, Wan Shang started the car with this kid, and he didn't want to cause a big deal. asked Du Fei: "Why did you come out to fool around during the Chinese New Year?" ”

"At this time, it is the most boring at home, and if you want to deal with people you don't know, it is better to come out and breathe."

It turned out to be the same trouble, Zhang Ke smiled, sat up, saw that Sheng Xia and Chen Feirong had a very happy conversation, and asked Du Fei: "Your Xiaoxia knows Chen Feirong?" It seems that Midsummer doesn't seem to be very good at Du Fei, Zhang Ke smiled, did not expose him, hoping that he could come out of Li Zhifang's shadow earlier.

"It used to be a junior high school student, but I just knew each other, right?" Du Fei acquiesced to Zhang Ke's name for Midsummer.

Zhang Ke thought to himself that Haizhou is not a big place, in terms of probability, even if two complete strangers, they can probably get along with only four or five people apart. Since Midsummer is in the same school as Chen Feirong's junior high school, wouldn't their family also live nearby?

Tang Jing was very interested, Zhang Ke spent a day with her in the market, and Du Fei had lunch and left first. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the night market is much colder than yesterday, otherwise Tang Jing and Zhang Mei would not go home.

I sent Zhang Mei home first, rushed to the downstairs of Tang Jing's house, and saw several cars parked in front of and behind the residential building, and saw that there were people sitting in the cars, and some people were hiding in the shadows of the flower beds. Seeing a person coming out of the stairwell, several people pushed the door and got out of the car, but it was the one behind the flower bed who grabbed the stairs, and the others had to continue to go back to the car and wait, and the rush was to queue up to Tang Xueqian's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Ke helped Tang Jing carry things upstairs and deliberately spoke loudly in the stairwell. Tang Xueqian opened the door and stood at the top of the stairs, looked at Zhang Ke and said with a smile: "Where did you kid run away from my Jingjing all day?" ”

Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and said: "Tang Jing is going to Sha Tin to practice the stall, I caught her and worked as a coolie for a day, and after practicing the stall for a day, the money from selling things is not enough to eat two meals......

Before entering the house, Tang Jing chirped about today's market stall practice, her face was full of excitement, her little face was red from the cold outside, but she was not tired at all.

Zhang Ke walked into the house, and the guy who rushed into the building from behind the flower bed just now stood in the living room awkwardly.

Tang Xueqian said to him gently: "Okay, you can carry your things and go." You pass by below, tell the people in the cars downstairs, it's not that I, Tang Xueqian, am unkind, yesterday the municipal party committee held a meeting to discuss the need to clean up the New Year's gift-giving style, you don't want me Tang Xueqian to be the first to be untrustworthy. ”

The man retreated with his things, Gu Jianping was a little reluctant, but this kind of principled issue could not help Tang Xueqian, not to mention that Tang Xueqian almost suffered a big loss this summer, which also made her feel uneasy.

Even if Tang Xueqian's words just now were sincere, he couldn't stop the eagerness of others to come to the door, Zhang Ke sat in the living room for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
