After Chen Qingyi finished speaking, she looked at me with an inquiring look, and she waited for me to give her a promise.......

I'm silent, I'm tired of promises, because I have too many promises for women that have not been fulfilled, life is long enough, and there are too many variables that are not controllable by man, I have seen through everything, and I can't afford to give any promises, if I give a promise with a clear conscience, it is not a promise, it is a deception!

Chen Qingyi smiled and said, "At our age, it is naïve to expect the so-called promise after going through so much, I know that you will not give me any promises, and you can't afford to give them...... But I still hope you'll be nice to me...... I mean the heart, which is kind to me. ”

Chen Qingyi's words suddenly made me feel that the thin layer of window paper that loomed between us this year was about to be pierced.

I nodded...... After a long pause, he said, "Sleep, it's late." ”

I don't know if Chen Qingyi and I are in the same bed and have different dreams this night, but I have realized: none of us is wrong, because no one has done it right........ We are willingly throwing ourselves into the net, perfunctory and struggling!

.......

The next morning, I was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and it was the general manager of the "Xiluo Men's Goods Store" who was in charge of the four stores, and her tone was very anxious: "Mr. Zhang...... Something went wrong. ”

My heart tightened, but I still said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

"This morning, the owners of the four shops, without any warning, were going back to the house....... They would rather pay a hefty penalty than let us continue to operate....... What's going on? Four homeowners who didn't know each other suddenly made the same decision!! The voice of the chief store manager has choked up, for Ciro, every employee has a very deep affection, this chief store manager is the store manager of the store in the university town of Siro, and Siro followed Siro before the accident.

I instantly understood what was going on: "I'll deal with it, you now contact the owners of the four shops, and I'll interview them." ”

"Hmm...... Mr. Zhang, the store must not be relocated...... We finally solved the crisis of trust of consumers, if we want to relocate, it will take more than a month to make a new store at the earliest, and we are a membership system, once there is a break in the middle....... Consumers must not want to trust us anymore! ”

"Well, I'll talk to the owner first to find out the specific situation." I said, the heart is also anxious, the location of these four shops, are carefully designed by us, the layout is very reasonable, make up for each other, echo each other, if only one of the shops is relocated, the adverse impact can also be remedied, if the four shops are relocated at the same time, the vacuum period in the middle of the consumer is difficult to accept, not to mention that there will not be so many ready-made shops waiting for us to relocate to operate, just to find a new shop, it may take a long time to waste, especially we have caused the lack of trust of consumers, Consumers won't give us much tolerance.

......

I got up, didn't even eat breakfast, and immediately rushed to the University City store of "Seaview Coffee", where I made an appointment with four homeowners to meet.

When the four of them arrived and sat down, I got straight to the point: "Everyone, give me an explanation, okay?" ”

One of the homeowners said: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, I am quite surprised that you personally talked to us about this matter, with your current achievements, these small shops have long been dispensable." ”

I suppressed my anger and said coldly, "What I want is an explanation, not nonsense!" ”

The owner didn't expect my reaction to be so violent, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, the property right of the shop was no longer mine a week ago...... But the buyer has made it a point to inform you today...... She bought my shop at a high price and was willing to help me bear the liquidated damages, you are also a businessman, I am sure you can understand me. ”

The other three homeowners looked at each other and said incredulously, "This is the case for us...... The buyer bought the shop a week ago, so let me know today...... She has one more word, let me bring it to you. ”

I frowned and asked, "What?" ”

She said, "Let you enjoy the taste......"

I gritted my teeth and leaned back in my chair with some weakness........ Yesterday Brother Luo was released from prison, and today Siro suffered a catastrophe...... It was premeditated!

I waved my hand at the four of them, signaling them to leave, the property rights of the shop were no longer in their hands, and there was no point in continuing to talk.

.......

After sitting in the office for a long time, I picked up the car keys on my desk, I was going to find Angel, I couldn't let her go on like this...... Not only will she ruin Ciro, where our dreams began, but she will also lose herself.

I drove to the hotel where Angel stayed last time, I asked the hotel front desk, and she told me: Angel's room has not been returned, but no one has stayed in the past two days, and she may not be in Nantong.

Back at the office, I called Angel's phone again, but no one answered...... Still the same after many attempts....... I couldn't get in touch with her and spent the whole day restless.

After work, I thought twice and went to the hotel again, but after asking, the result was: Angel still hasn't returned..... In desperation, I left a phone number for the front desk and asked her to call me as soon as Angel returned.

.......

The night is deep again....... Feeling anxious and lost, I went to the old bridge again, and I seemed to be used to finding comfort here.

I lit a cigarette and looked at the flowing water under the bridge with various neon lights in distraction.

The beggar next to me shook the begging bowl in my hand at me, and I looked at him...... He took all the money out of his wallet, gave him 500 yuan from it, and put 500 yuan into each beggar's bowl in that order..... It's not so much a handout as a vent.

I just walked to the middle of the bridge....... And she came from the other end, still holding a handful of ten yuan change in her hand.

The moment I saw her, my impetuous mood gradually calmed down, and there seemed to be a magical magic in her.

I smiled at her, and then motioned for each of us to disperse the money in our hands and gather in the middle of the bridge, Mo Han nodded to me, walked to the other end of the bridge, and put the money in my hand into the beggar's bowl one by one, and I also walked to the other end, although in the opposite direction from Mo Han, I did the same action.

......

Turning back, we finally met in the middle of the old bridge...... After a long silence, I finally said, "Hi, we meet again." ”

"Hmm." Mo Han answered, turned around and leaned against the guardrail made of wood, looking at the flowing water under the bridge.

I stood with Mo Han and watched the flowing water under the bridge.

After a long time, she asked me: "Zhang Yixi, you are not happy, are you?" ”

I was stunned...... I smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Actually, I'm not happy either!" Mo Han said in a calm tone, although she said that she was unhappy, she could never see joy and sorrow on her face!
