From the beginning of the auction to the hammer drop of Team Leader Zhao, the number plate in Ji Guangsheng's hand has never been raised. Lin Yuan wondered, could it be that the purpose of his visit this time was just to see his restaurant being photographed away by others?

Team Leader Zhao raised his hammer and fell, and after a crisp knocking sound, he seemed to be a little surprised, but he still made the announcement according to the process, and then asked the notary to come to the stage to prove that the auction was valid.

The restaurant was finally auctioned to a real estate consulting boss for 7 million, and when the auction ended, representatives of other companies left one after another, Lin Yuan sat in the distance and did not get up, waiting for Team Leader Zhao to take him to handle the transfer procedures.

Team Leader Zhao walked to Lin Yuan with the representative of the China Auction Company and introduced the identity of the other party, Lin Yuan said politely: "The decoration of the store or the layout of the restaurant, I don't want these things, just let your company dispose of them." ”

Although he knew that something was going on in Lin Yuan's store, the other party was very face-saving and said with a smile: "I think the things you have here are well preserved, and the decoration of the store is also very elegant." ”

Lin Yuan took the transfer contract handed over by Team Leader Zhao and signed his name. Seeing that the other party was a real estate company, he said: "Your company has strong strength and has been operating for a long time, and this store will depend on you in the future." ”

The other party said politely: "Compared with Sun's industry, it's not worth mentioning." ”

The two sides signed their names respectively according to the requirements and stamped everyone's seals, Lin Yuan saw that the formalities had been completed, got up and asked Team Leader Zhao: "The formalities for the transfer of the store have been completed, and I will leave if there is nothing else." The store will be another one in the future. ”

Team Leader Zhao said, "Mr. Yue, wait a minute. We dispose of your shop at auction, but we will refund you the cost of buying the store in the first place. Again, some of the relevant fines still have to be paid. ”

Lin Yuan said: "When the store was sealed, didn't the fine have already been paid. ”

Team Leader Zhao explained with a smile: "This is the compensation for that guest, and there is a fixed amount. The penalty for the store, because the impact is relatively large, so the judgment of the penalty should be more cautious. ”

"Well, please tell me how much the fine is."

Team Leader Zhao stretched out a hand: "500,000." ”

Lin Yuan listened to the figures reported by Team Leader Zhao and didn't speak, Team Leader Zhao first explained: "Mr. Yue won't think I'm asking for a price, right?" ”

"I'd like to see the penalty decision."

"No problem." Team Leader Zhao took out the document, turned to the last page, pointed to the penalty amount and said, "Look, in black and white, I didn't report the number randomly, right?" ”

500,000 is not a small amount, Jin Yu casually sold hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a problem at all, but Lin Yuan is unwilling to use Jin Yu's money anymore, the store was bought with her money, he already owed Jin Yu a lot in the past, and he will owe Jin Yu more in the future, he thought for a while and asked, "When will the fine be paid at the latest?" ”

Team leader Zhao said: "Before the end of this month, we also have penalty regulations, if you do not pay it in full this month, you will start to supplement the late fee from next month." Mr. Yue is smart, so he naturally knows that this fine will have to be paid sooner or later, so it is better to pay it earlier, and the matter can be settled earlier, right? ”

Lin Yuan nodded heavily: "That's what you said." I'll pay the fine, and now that the auction is over, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do. ”

Team Leader Zhao had a smile on his face: "Okay." ”

Lin Yuan left without hesitation, the entire store would no longer belong to him in the future, and he didn't want to stay for another minute. As soon as he sold the door, he suddenly remembered that he had kept the independent hut that he had kept secret for a long time, and kept some treasures that were very important to him.

He turned around to fetch it, and when he walked to the hall, he was bumping into Ji Guangsheng. Ji Guangsheng seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, just blocking his way.

Lin Yuan made way out, meaning to ask Ji Guangsheng to go first, but Ji Guangsheng didn't go, and his body blocked the middle of the hall aisle, blocking Lin Yuan in front of him.

"Chairman Ji, I still have something." Lin Yuan lowered his head and didn't look at Ji Guangsheng, and said slowly.

Ji Guangsheng smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, Mr. Yue." The auction is over, why do you still have something to do? Have you forgotten that this storefront is no longer yours? ”

Lin Yuan only felt his teeth clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing the anger that was about to erupt. Team Leader Zhao and the company representative hadn't left yet, and he couldn't lose his temper in front of them, so he had to politely say: "You're right, the store is not mine, but there are still things that belong to me in it, and I want to take them away." ”

Ji Guangsheng pretended to be concerned and asked, "What are Mr. Yue's plans in the future?" ”

What else can be planned? Lin Yuan felt bitter in his heart, seeing Ji Guangsheng's smug appearance, even if his store was not framed by him, he should be very happy to see his current down-and-out appearance. The store, which has been operating painstakingly for a long time, has just improved, and it has experienced the seizure, fine, and confiscation auction, what can he do at this moment.

Chairman Lao Ji was worried. I picked up my things and left immediately, no longer staying in other people's stores. ”

Ji Guangsheng smiled: "Mr. Yue, it seems that you are also a smart person, why can't you figure it out, I just want to seek cooperation with you, what's in it for me to ruin your reputation." Why can't you just take a turn, maybe you come to my restaurant, it will be good for both the Ji family and the Sun family? ”

When it came to the Sun family, Lin Yuan still had something on his mind, and politely refused: "How much ability can I have to bring benefits to you and the Sun family?" ”

Ji Guangsheng said: "Don't be in a hurry to reject me, sometimes the decision made in a panic may be irrational?" Sun Xiongzhi knows about your store, will he help you open a store again, but I can help you, I can open another store for you, and this store is completely under your management. You can think again, even if it's not for the Sun family, it's for yourself. ”

Lin Yuan was still a little uneasy in his heart, Ji Guangsheng had already touched his mind for three points, which was hinting to himself that if he didn't cooperate with the Ji family, with him having nothing now, he would be looked down upon by Sun Xiongzhi again in the Sun family, and the situation would be even more embarrassing.

Ji Guangsheng patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Mr. Yue, think about it." ”

Team Leader Zhao saw the two people in the corridor and wanted to say hello to Ji Guangsheng, but Ji Guangsheng ignored it and left. Lin Yuan didn't linger long, went straight to the general manager's office on the third floor, moved the bookcase standing against the wall, and revealed the door of the mezzanine.

When he was separated from Jin Yu and lived here quietly, Lin Yuan knew that he couldn't put all his things in the villa, so he brought out some things that had been hidden for a long time. Later, some things were brought back to the villa, and some things that could not be seen by Jinyu remained here.

It's full of memories of him and Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi was ingenious and didn't have the money to give him valuable things, so he bought some beautiful trinkets for him.

A mechanical watch with no brand but fine workmanship, a jet-black belt, the leather surface has been ground with crumbs, and it was carefully rolled up by Lin Yuan. There were also some bits and pieces, all of which Xiao Xi picked according to his and Lin Yuan's preferences.

His favorite was the dark green bow tie, which he had worn to weddings with others.

Lin Yuan once naively fantasized that he kept the gift that Xiao Xi gave him, as if Xiao Xi was still by his side. But over time, he found that all he could keep was the memories of Xiaoxi, and all traces of Xiaoxi had been dried out more and more faintly.

Xiaoxi's parents are poor people who don't have much education, their daughter died, they grieved but couldn't do anything, and after burying Xiaoxi in their hometown, they completely cut off contact with Lin Yuan.

It's just something in a small box, just because it was given to him by Xiaoxi, and it's very heavy to hold in his hand.

Lin Yuan's hand twisted the bow tie, the bow tie had been rubbed by him many times, and the chain belt had already shone a little shiny.

He looked at it repeatedly for a long time, with an imperceptible smile on his face, but found that every little thing he had experienced with Xiao Xi was still so clear, but Xiao Xi's face in his impression had begun to blur. He finally thought that on the wedding day, the face that seemed to be sad and tearful in front of his eyes was vaguely Xiaoxi.

He couldn't help but get nervous, Xiaoxi had only been dead for more than a year, and he had forgotten Xiaoxi's face. Is he too affectionate, or he already has someone in his heart who can replace Xiaoxi.

Lin Yuan shook his head and woke up from his chaotic thoughts. No, he has always had only Xiaoxi in his heart.

Put the bow tie back in the box, Lin Yuan walked downstairs, Team Leader Zhao was still talking to the company representatives, he didn't stay long, didn't say a word to them, and walked straight out of the door.

The signboard of "One Day Restaurant" has been removed, Lin Yuan took a look, and there is no nostalgia. From then on, back to square one, there was nothing left.

Lin Yuan sat back in the car, only to feel uncomfortable and unspeakably awkward. He thought that he still had a fine of 500,000 yuan in his hand, and he couldn't make a good car that Jinyu bought for himself with peace of mind. After thinking about it, he called Jinyu and told her that he planned to sell the car and use the money to pay the fine. Although Jinyu also bought the car for himself, he knew that even if he left the car, he would not be able to be cheeky enough to take this good car.

Jin Yu wanted to call him first to find out about the auction, but she was worried that Lin Yuan would be in a bad mood when she saw the store being auctioned off, and she was worried all day. Knowing that Lin Yuan wanted to sell the new car, she didn't think about it and resolutely opposed it.

"This is not only a gift from me, but you also need a car, isn't it 500,000, where do you need to sell a car?"

"Jinyu, listen to me, you have done a lot of things for me, and I don't want to trouble you again this time." Lin Yuan's hand slapped heavily on the steering wheel, a little helpless.

Jin Yu's voice sounded a little low: "Are you going to break up with me, we are husband and wife, don't be like this." ”

"No, Jinyu, it's for my own good. I'm a man, and I can't always let my wife clean up the aftermath for herself. Besides, if something like this happens, how can I still deserve to drive such a good car? Lin Yuan smiled bleakly, "I have a way to deal with the car." I've been here without a car for so many years, what are you worried about? ”

"Lin Yuan, or you can take it as borrowing my money, and then pay it back later......"

"No, Jinyu, I'm afraid that I will implicate you more in the future, and now I can handle it myself, I hope that the less I will be implicated with you, the better."

"If you must do it, then I'll do it to you." Jin Yu finally said, "Lin Yuan, no matter what you have to do, I am willing to support you." ”

With Jinyu's approval, Lin Yuan finally put his mind at ease and drove the car to the 4S store where he bought the car, saying that he wanted to sell the car.

The manager still remembered Lin Yuan, and was very surprised when he saw that he was going to sell the car: "Mr. Yue, you have only bought this car for a month, and the new car is so good, why do you suddenly want to sell it?" ”

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, if he said that he needed money urgently, he would feel shabby when he heard it, and he would lose the face of the Sun family, so he made up a lie: "I was optimistic about another car some time ago, this one...... I don't need it anymore, so I'll just sell it. ”

"At this time, no matter how new it is, it is a second-hand car, which is really not cost-effective."

Lin Yuan pretended not to care: "It's okay, I'm not here to change money, I really don't want to idle so many cars at home, please help me estimate how much it can be sold for?" ”

The manager took the key handed by Lin Yuan, opened the car door, sat in and started the car, and looked at the dashboard carefully: "The kilometers are less than five hundred, it seems that the car is not used much, and the exterior paint of the car is complete." I have some friends here who are in the used car business, and if you decide to sell them, I'll keep an eye on them for you. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and thanked: "Okay, I'll hand over the car to you, if there is a buyer, please notify me first." ”

"That's a certainty, only a week at most, and I'll help you find a buyer." The manager said, "This car is about the same as a new car, the price is right, and I will try to quote you more." ”

Lin Yuan nodded sincerely and thanked: "Thank you." ”

On the way home, Lin Yuan strode down the road, feeling very complicated, and now he was completely nothing.

It was almost dusk, and the autumn wind was blowing, and I only felt a little cool on my body. Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at the row of street trees beside the road, fluttering and falling a few yellow leaves.
