It was late at night, Gu Qiao closed the "Dream of Red Mansions" in his hand and looked out the window. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There are a lot of neon lights still shining in the distance, but it's too far away for the light to reach here, and it's still dark here. The silk pajamas on the body were too refreshing, and even a little cold. Master Xiao is in the study, and there is only Gu Qiao in the room at the moment.

I don't know how many times I've read "Dream of Red Mansions", every time I read the last chapter, I feel very cold, and it always makes her feel restless.

Since Xiao Mingyi returned from studying abroad, Master Xiao's insomnia seems to be getting worse and worse.

Gu Qiao knew that Xiao Shan was no longer the Xiao Shan of the past, and in the two years that Ming Yi had left, Master Xiao was very tired every day after returning home, and he looked very tired.

Now, Mingyi is back, but Master Xiao has no intention of letting him help.

Gu Qiao could also see that Mingyi was hesitating. After returning to China, he opened a gallery, and he seemed to be very busy going in and out every day, but he always appeared by Mr. Xiao's side from time to time, ready to be dispatched.

Yes, back then, when young children were allowed to join the gang to fight and kill, Mingyi still felt a little mustard in his heart.

However, Gu Qiao didn't quite understand Mingyi's opening of the gallery. In the era of war and chaos, there is still leisure and elegance to open a gallery?

-------------------------I'm a dividing line---------------------------------

Seeing that Master Xiao was in good spirits today, Mingyi decided to take his father and younger brother Hongsheng to his newly opened gallery to have a look.

The 200-square-meter gallery is divided into two floors, with brown wood interiors and dark curtains. The first floor is a Chinese painting, and the second floor is an oil painting. Half of the second floor is used as a studio, which is sometimes used for pen practice or for students interested in painting in the future.

"Not bad." Master Xiao can see that this not very large studio has taken a lot of thought in terms of decoration and work purchase.

After the visit, they sat in the studio and rested.

"Brother, now it's so chaotic, there are wars everywhere, why do you want to open a gallery? Who cares to buy a painting? ”

"Indeed, it is indeed a time of war. What is needed in this period is not only food, clothing, and medicine, but also the strong will of the whole people. ”

Hongsheng still doesn't quite understand. "What does a strong will have to do with painting, isn't this a work of art?"

"What is a work of art? Elegant and sublime, calm and tranquil, learning the essence of art will make the mind open-minded, in the panic can be more sober. No amount of calamity in the long run will cause it to panic or destroy its willpower. Therefore, if art is promoted, more people will be determined to contribute to the war. ”

Hongsheng understood and nodded.

Master Xiao was surprised by Mingyi's insight and did not speak for a long time.

Before leaving, Mr. Xiao bought an oil painting of Mingyi.

When paying, Master Xiao said to Mingyi: "In this way, your business will be opened." ”

Mr. Xiao guessed correctly, he was the first guest of this gallery.

------------------------I'm the dividing line------------------------------

"Master, the goods have been delivered safely." Zhang Lie had a secret conversation with Master Xiao in the study.

Although the task was completed, Master Xiao's face did not relax in the slightest, but became more serious than usual.

"Sir, forgive me for talking too much. This errand hit us too hard. Now that the police department has set their sights on us, it took a lot of effort to get rid of them, and this time alone, we lost three brothers. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the municipal side will also be alarmed. ”

Master Xiao raised his hand and motioned to Zhang Lie not to continue.

"Don't forget to send your pension to your home."

"Yes." Zhang Lie had no choice but to give up. Master Xiao is a shrewd person, how could he not know such a thing.

As soon as Zhang Lie left, Mingyi sent the medicine to the study.

"I heard from the second wife that you have been suffering from insomnia lately, so I asked someone to order a soothing pillow and bedding, which will be delivered tomorrow."

"Father, Hongsheng is still in school at the moment, and the company's affairs are becoming more and more burdensome, and you are too tired. During this time, you don't want to go to the company, and I'll take care of it. You can rest assured that you can recuperate at home. ”

"Mingyi, you've been away from the company for two years. You don't know what business the company has been doing in the past two years. If you do, you're dealing with more than just the company's business. Do you really figure it out? Master Xiao's tone was questioning.

"Figured it out. Father. ”

"Since you're ready, I'll promise you. But the road ahead will be difficult, and you will also face major choices, whether it is for the interests of the company or personal interests, do not let others interfere, you have to obey your heart. ”

Mingyi nodded. Maybe he was born like this, this is his life, and he doesn't want to live a stable life. But this time the choice was voluntary.

-------------------------I'm the dividing line----------------------------------

"So, Xiao Mingyi also came that day?" Jiawen couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

Qi Jun nodded, stirring the coffee in his hand in distraction. It's been a week since this incident, and Qi Jun still doesn't know how to alleviate the embarrassment of meeting at that time.

But then again, how could the eldest son of the Xiao family, who was in the limelight back then, suddenly disappear after returning to China. He was a legend in Shanghai back then, and every time he went in and out of the dance hall, he attracted a large group of girls to hug him. ”

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to manage the company, so it's no longer noticeable."

"Looks like you really like him, and you even know that." Jiawen has known Qi Jun for so many years, and it is the first time that she knows that she has someone she likes.

"But Qi Jun, I don't think you're suitable. None of you have crossed paths. ”

They had been chatting for more than an hour, and they were both a little tired, and Jiawen opened it with a piece of today's newspaper in his hand.

"Half of the newspaper is talking about the war, and the people who read it are not in a good mood." Jiawen flipped through it a few times and put the newspaper aside.

"Qi Jun, Xiao Hongsheng, you know, it is Xiao Mingyi's younger brother."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"He kept running to my house after your birthday party that day, and once he even stayed for dinner." Jiawen was indignant. Qi Jun knew that Jiawen's heart was full of Xu Jianhua, how could he tolerate others.

"Really? Then he must be going for you. I don't know anything else. But Hongsheng feels like a relatively well-behaved student. ”

"I've made it clear to him, but he's still coming." Jiawen was sullen.

"Okay, okay." Qi Jun picked up the newspaper casually, "If I can meet Xiao Mingyi next time, I will tell him to let him take care of his brother." "But I don't know when the next opportunity will be. originally wanted to make a stunning appearance on his birthday and go further with Xiao Mingyi, but the goal was not reached, and I am afraid there is no excuse to meet him in the near future.

Suddenly, Qi Jun's eyes lit up, and the news of Xiao Mingyi's appointment as the general manager of Xiao Group appeared in the newspaper!

Qi Jun couldn't believe his eyes, and said that there was no chance, but the opportunity actually came to the door by himself.

She took a closer look and found that there was another recruitment below, and Xiao Shi wanted to recruit a group of new employees.

Anyway, since graduation, she has been doing nothing at home. It's better to go to work, this study is not in vain.

Many days of worries disappeared like this, and Qi Jun felt that the sun outside the window was exceptionally clear today.
