"Mingshan, come and sit." When Wei Xingxing saw Chen Mingshan coming in, he immediately stood up enthusiastically and invited him to sit on the sofa, opened the door and called the secretary to bring two cups of coffee in.

"It's your paycheck." Wei Xingxing took a check from the table and handed it over, Chen Mingshan hurriedly took it with both hands, the numbers on it were better than he expected, which made him feel more or less excited in his heart, and felt that all the hard work during this time had paid off. "Thank you!" He said.

"It's me who says thank you." Wei Xingxing looked Chen Mingshan up and down, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After receiving the money, Chen Mingshan was pleased with the numbers on it, and couldn't wait to ask when the next job would start. Who knew that Wei Xingxing said that he didn't need him anymore.

Chen Mingshan immediately became anxious, and he said, "William, is there something I didn't do well?" Although it was hard work, but the rewards were so rich, of course he was not willing to lose the job, and even he considered that William was a generous boss, and if possible, he would be willing to work for him in the future.

Wei Xingxing shook his head, "It's not your reason, Stark, it's my side that doesn't have this need for the time being, I promise you, if I want to ask for another tutor, I will definitely be the first to think of you." He stood up and sent Chen Mingshan out the door.

Seeing Chen Mingshan's reluctant gaze, he secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, it was just that he was afraid that Chen Mingshan would die here, but he didn't expect that it would be such an effect in just one month.

This surprised him very much and began to feel ...... Rather than sell it, it is better to keep it in your hands.

Tao Bin received a phone call in the middle of the night, asking him to hurry up and bring the money to the hospital for emergency treatment, he ran downstairs and borrowed the car of the couple next door to rush to the hospital.

It was a girl from the same group who called him, and the person who sent him to the hospital was Chen Mingshan. The girl lives very close to Chen Mingshan, and the two often take a ride together to save money. After Chen Mingshan's neighbor found Chen Mingshan fainting in the room, he refused to call an ambulance himself, but called the girl. The girl had to hurry over and call an ambulance to take Chen Mingshan to the hospital, but she didn't have enough money in her hand, so she had to call again for help. But the biggest rich man in the group, Zhou and his girlfriend went on a trip, and the other people who received the call either shirked or hung up the phone directly, and there were only two people who could come, one of whom was Tao Bin.

Several people scraped together and handed over the money, and Chen Mingshan woke up quickly, but the doctor said that he was not sick, but he was not in good health, and asked him to pay attention to rest, eat well, and eat more nutritious.

Tao Bin felt strange when he heard it, but he wasn't surprised when he saw Chen Mingshan, because no matter who saw Chen Mingshan would say this, he looked like a wrapper who had been tortured for half his life.

"How did he end up like this?" He asked the girl quietly.

Chen Mingshan was lying on the bed, but the blanket did not rise and fall at all, and even his breathing was as light as a feather. His face was bloodless, his skin was pale, his eye sockets were deep, his cheekbones were high, and his whole body was skinny and bone-like.

"I don't know." The girl said, "I knew he was working part-time, translating something." ”

What can be translated like this?

After Chen Mingshan woke up, he thanked the girl and Tao Bin after listening to the doctor's words, and then closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was asleep or unconscious.

After Tao Bin left, although he remembered in his heart that he wanted to see Chen Mingshan, he joined a group, and he was so busy that he didn't care about it, but half a month later, a sum of money was suddenly transferred to his account, which was the medical expenses he paid for Chen Mingshan.

"He's so sick." Zhou said, "I can only go back, stay here, let alone continue my studies, he will even have a problem taking care of himself." ”

Tao Bin knew that Chen Mingshan had been bedridden since that day, and he was fine when he was in the hospital, but after he was discharged, let alone going downstairs, he couldn't even go to the kitchen to boil a pot of water. As a last resort, he called his parents from China. His parents came to see him and immediately decided to take him back to China to recuperate

"All the money he earned from his part-time job was sent to the hospital before he could cover it." Zhou said with pity, "In addition, I went back for a year and a half, delayed graduation, and the time and opportunities lost cannot be measured by money." ”

Because of this incident, Tao Bin remembered Wei Xingxing and his auction house. A month later, when he read an obituary in the newspaper, he had a foreboding feeling in his heart for the first time.

The obituary reads about a sixty-four-year-old auctioneer who crashed into a tree on his way home while driving home and had an unfortunate accident.

Tao Bin searched the Internet, and the traffic accident news was written in more detail. The auctioneer, York, was very serious about his work, he remembered everything he had auctioned off, and he once traveled to four countries for two years to prove the authenticity of a painting, and he was very respectful of all the owners of the painting.

According to the report, the police believed that the auctioneer was unconscious for physical reasons, and then hit a tree, and because there was no vehicle passing by, no one called an ambulance for him in time to lead the tragedy.

The auctioneer's wife and children, as well as colleagues, have confirmed that in the last month, the auctioneer has indeed put too much effort into his work.

[His face has been very bad. 】

We advised him to rest, but he would not listen. 】

[I always hope that York can take a break from work, stay at home for a while, spend time with my children and me, travel with us, and relax. 】

It seems clear that the auctioneer's death was a complete accident.

But Tao Bin was uneasy.

The auction house appears to have been cursed, and in the months that followed, several people left in accidents or for health reasons. Of course, the only one who had the misfortune was the auctioneer who had the accident.

For the sake of the health of his employees, Williams, a respected boss, specially paid out of his own pocket for everyone to go for a health check-up, and then according to the physical examination report, persuaded some people to temporarily put down their work and go home to rest.

He then began advertising in newspapers to recruit new employees.

The city is not big and there is very little news. This auction house has taken over most of the news for half a year, but what the boss has done cannot be said to be wrong, on the contrary, he is a considerate and good boss, and all the employees who were kicked out of the auction house have received due compensation, only because they lost their jobs due to their poor health.

Union members have also suspected auction houses of abusive manpower, but the former employees surveyed all said they didn't work much at all, leaving work on time every day, and that auction houses did not encourage overtime.

Tao Bin didn't know if it was curiosity or other reasons, he went to this auction house the weekend before Christmas.

The auction house is only three stories high, with a reception room on the ground floor and a row of glass cabinets that can be called rudimentary to display the auction items.

Tao Bin found that the things in it were very close to life, because almost all of them were famous watches and jewelry. When I saw that I could buy a gold Rolex watch for a small amount of money, I was also ashamed.

The young man in the reception room did not approach him, but kept looking at him with a nervous smile. When Tao Bin walked out, he felt that the young man might be relieved. If he had walked over at that time, the young man must have been more afraid.

This young man is a new employee, right?

This auction house seems to have been in the country for many years as well. The pamphlet Tao Bin got at the auction house said that since 1886, this auction house was established by a Russian businessman, and then changed hands several times, and the current owner turned out to be an auctioneer (with a photo of a young Oriental and a middle-aged white man with a big belly Mediterranean laughing), Tao Bin recognized it for a long time before he recognized that the green Oriental who looked like he had just come out of school was the employer in the video.

Later, the original owner returned to Australia and handed over the auction house to another person, something may have happened in the middle, four years later, this auction house became the Oriental, although he was only one of the partners, but from the last photo was his single photo, Tao Bin guessed that the other partners could not be compared with the person in the photo.

At the end of the booklet, there is the name of this oriental.

Wei ...... Star. Tao Bin read it out with admiration, people also came to study, and ten years later, he became the owner of an auction house.

At Christmas, Tao Bin did not return to China, and if possible, he would not even want to go back for the New Year. However, the family will not agree, even if the relationship of the family is not very good, but it is still necessary to pretend to be a happy family during the New Year.

But Tao Bin was unwilling to act with them at home, and fled after Chinese New Year's Eve. Instead of going back to school, he went to Sugiyu University to visit the professors who lived at the school, as well as his local classmates.

Qin Qing came to visit Professor Shi on the second day of junior high school. She had called beforehand and found that many graduating students would come to visit Professor Shi, and in order to avoid these people, she went there in the morning.

Professor Shi didn't let her bring a gift, so she brought a box of cakes made by herself, thinking that if Professor Shi's family came to be a guest, she could also be a small refreshment, if Professor Shi was willing to eat it herself, the cake would be soft and toothless, just suitable for the elderly.

When I arrived at Professor Shi's house, I found that she was not the only one who delivered the cake, and I couldn't help but be glad that it wasn't too big, just a small one of eight inches. When I came out of Professor Shi's house, I happened to meet Tao Bin.

The two walked face to face, and they were both stunned.

Tao Bin was surprised, he didn't know where Qin Qing's family lived, he was so lucky to meet him.

Qin Qing was surprised that a person who was supposed to be abroad suddenly appeared in China.

"Hey." Tao Bin said, "Why don't you go to McDonald's for a cup of coffee?" "This is the only time to open doors.

Qin Qing asked Si Yuhan a lot about studying abroad for him during this time, and it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed. The two turned left and walked out of the school gate, and after walking half a street to a Mai Kee.

On this day, at this time, there are not many people in Mak Kee, all young people, most of them order a drink and then sit down and hold their mobile phones to swipe.

Qin Qing and Tao Bin bought some drinks and fries and sat down.

Qin Qing spoke first, "How about over there?" ”

Tao Bin shrugged his shoulders and wanted to laugh, but he still sighed, "It's very tired, it's very hard, and I can't sleep well every day." He smiled wryly. I can't tell the truth to my former friends and classmates, I can only report the good news, and I can tell Qin Qing calmly.

Maybe because in his mind, Qin Qing was a "strong man", so he couldn't help but want to rely on it?

After analyzing his psychology, Tao Bin hurriedly lowered his head and drank coffee, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qin Qing: "Stick to it, there will be good results." ”

There was no comfort, but this sentence made Tao Bin laugh unconsciously.

He began to talk more, school, professors, classmates, supermarket, bakery, café, everything he remembered as long as he remembered.

Qin Qing listened silently all the time without saying a word. There are funny things in what Tao Bin said, as well as the difficulties he encountered, messy, whimsical, and in no order.

In the end, Tao Bin also hesitated to say what he suspected was wrong with the auction house.

"You can't take care of it." Qin Qing said, "I can't control it, people are dying every day in this world, accept it." ”

Although these words were cold and unkind, Tao Bin felt more relaxed. When he began to doubt, he was tormented by his conscience every day. Now someone sues him, "You can't take care of it", but instead releases him.

After pouring all the words, Tao Bin was much more relaxed, and the two talked for two and a half hours, and the sky outside began to darken, and snowflakes gradually drifted. Tao Bin said, "Shall I send you back?" ”

Qin Qing shook his head, took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm looking for my boyfriend, let's go." ”

Tao Bin said goodbye when he saw this, he didn't bring a gift to Qin Qing, he felt very embarrassed, he had the heart to buy one for her, but he felt that it was too deliberate, she wouldn't accept it. I still remember this incident in my heart after I left.

Watching Tao Bin's back gradually blend into the flow of people, Qin Qing held his mobile phone and sighed leisurely.

…… Wei Xingxing......

If only she didn't remember the name.
