For Xia Jiao, Ye Ming has always had a sense of guilt and self-blame in his heart, and sometimes this feeling of guilt and self-blame is even stronger than that of Chen Mengqi: because although he owes Chen Mengqi too much, after all, the two of them have been in love and lived together, and now they have a lovely daughter. Moreover, he still has true feelings for Chen Mengqi, and for a while he even wanted to break up with Xia Chuchu and marry her. Even after marrying Xia Chuchu, in his mind, Chen Mengqi is still the closest and most trustworthy confidant he feels, and this sense of closeness and trust is even stronger than Xia Chuchu.

However, Xia Jiao is completely different: she had a relationship with her on the spur of the moment, and she never really liked her from beginning to end, and even looked down on her a little at the beginning. Xia Jiao herself knows this very well. But even so, she still willingly gave herself the innocence she had adhered to for more than 20 years, and loved herself silently without regrets in the days to come, never asking for anything from herself, and never pestering herself.

This kind of reckless infatuation sometimes makes Ye Ming feel very guilty and blame herself, and she has repeatedly euphemistically persuaded her to find a suitable boy to marry, but every time she mentions this topic, she is either silent or simply hangs up the phone, just like Zhang Yan's situation......

However, because he knew that Xia Jiao still couldn't get rid of that kind of infatuation with herself, Ye Ming tried to avoid being alone with her, even if the two of them had to be alone, Ye Ming had to use some obscure words and deeds to euphemistically advise her not to have any hope for herself.

For example, today, when he followed Xia Jiao into her office, he found that there was a bed by the window, which was obviously her temporary resting place. So, when Xia Jiao was about to close the door, Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "Jiaojiao, let's open the door and talk!" Now there are only two of us in this building, and if the renovation workers suddenly come in and see us alone in this room, and the door is closed, it will attract criticism. ”

Xia Jiao understood the meaning of Ye Ming's words, her originally radiant face couldn't help but darken, and silently opened all the doors that were half closed, and then asked Ye Ming to sit down on a chair in front of the desk, and made him a cup of tea with a disposable cup, and then dragged another chair to sit down next to Ye Ming.

Ye Ming took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Jiaojiao, when did you come here to open a shop?" Why didn't you tell me beforehand? ”

"Sister Feifei and I decided to come here to open a shop in early September, when I first came, Sister Feifei said that I was going to look for you, but I know that you have just arrived in Beishan, there must be a lot of important things to do, you should be very busy, and I am also worried that if we go to find you, if someone notices, it will affect your reputation and image, so I advise Sister Feifei not to trouble you. In case we encounter any difficulties and problems that cannot be solved in the future, it is not too late for us to ask you for help. ”

Ye Ming nodded, and asked again, "What about Feifei?" Why isn't she in the store? ”

She went to several performing arts centers in the provincial capital to learn from experience. Brother Ye, you should have seen it just now: our current entertainment city is not a pure karaoke hall, but a model modeled after those performing arts centers in the provincial capital, mainly to enjoy singing, dancing and literary programs, but there are also boxes upstairs for guests to sing, which is a comprehensive entertainment center. After buying tickets and coming in, guests can not only sit in the hall to enjoy the cultural performances, but also enter the box to entertain themselves. We're going to hire a professional host, a professional band, a professional singer to perform here, and even a celebrity to sing with us—"

Ye Ming's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but interrupt her words and asked: "Jiaojiao, Beishan is still a poor county, and it is located in a remote area, there is no floating population, and the consumption concept of people here is far less advanced and luxurious than you imagined, where do your customers come from?" Doesn't this make it clear that it is burning money? ”

Xia Jiao replied with a smile: "Brother, you are so smart, and you are the secretary of the county party committee, why don't you see the problem as long-term as a little woman like me?" To tell you the truth: our performing arts center is not for the people of Beishan, but for investors, distributors, film directors and actors, fans and tourists who will flock to Beishan in the future - when I say this, you should understand! ”

Ye Ming suddenly patted his head, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and exclaim: "High, really high!" Jiaojiao, I have always thought that you are a good businessman, it seems that my vision is still right! ”

Xia Jiao saw Ye Ming praising her, her face flushed with a hint of shyness and happiness, her eyes were as bright as water, she looked at her heart merchant affectionately, and whispered: "Brother, don't praise me, in fact, we want to borrow your east wind." We have found out clearly: with your efforts, there are many famous large companies to invest in the development and construction of Beishan, such as Fuxin Group has built a science and technology industrial park in Beishan Development Zone, in addition, Fuxin Group's young owner and big star Miss Zhang Yan have also begun to develop Meishan Lake, ready to build a large-scale film and television base.

"We predict that in another year or two, Bei Son will become the county and city with the fastest economic development in Tien Giang Province, and by that time, there will be many investors, distributors, film and television directors and actors, and tourists from all over the country pouring into Bei Son, which will become a hot spot for investment and a tourist attraction.

"Now, the entertainment venues in Beishan are some low-grade KTV song halls, and there is no real nightclub and performing arts venue, which will definitely not be able to meet the needs of those high-end customers in the future. Therefore, we decided to copy the model of some high-end nightclubs in the provincial capital and build such a comprehensive high-end entertainment venue in advance. ”

Ye Ming nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Jiaojiao, how did you get together the funds to open this entertainment city?" I just looked around, and found that the decoration here is very avant-garde and luxurious, and it is conservatively estimated that you will need at least seven or eight million yuan to complete the renovation and opening, not including the cost of hiring professional bands, professional hosts, and professional actors. Such a big investment should not be something you and Feifei can afford! ”

Xia Jiao hesitated, nodded and said, "Brother Ye, I don't dare to hide it from you: most of the funds of this performing arts center are from Sister Qiqi. The last time you were in distress in that lead-zinc mine, Sister Qiqi came back from Xijiang, and after you escaped, she quietly returned to Xinleng and worshiped her father and Brother Chao. Later, she found Brother Fu, Mao Lizi and Dwarf Winter Melon, and gave them one million yuan each, thanking them for guarding the graves of her father and Brother Chao. Brother Fu told her that Sister Feifei and I wanted to open an entertainment city in Beishan, but there were no funds.

So, she found me and Sister Feifei, and said that she was willing to invest 10 million yuan in us to build an entertainment city in Beishan, and the shares of the entertainment city were divided into four parts: she and me and Sister Feifei each had one share, and Brother Fu, Mao Lizi, dwarf winter melon and other super brother's old brothers shared one share. If the casino loses money, even if it is hers, it will make a profit, and the four major shares will share the profit equally...... Big brother, Sister Qiqi is so nice and kind, at that time, Sister Feifei, Brother Fu and others couldn't help but shed tears when they heard her plan......"

As she said this, her eyes gradually turned red......
