A baker's dozen

In the morning, as soon as Bao Liang got to work, he called Zhang Nan in the company, Zhang Nan's attitude on the phone was calmer than he imagined, and she asked Bao Liang to meet and talk after work.

The meeting was made at a place designated by Zhang Nan, an art gallery that Zhang Nan passed by on his way home from work, which was built in the semi-basement of a building. In the corner of the skylight, there is also a bar, and almost every seat is shrouded in the bloody sun from the ground.

Bao Liang walked into the building and asked several people before finding the entrance to the gallery at the back of a staircase. When he walked into the gallery bar, he saw that Zhang Nan had obviously been waiting for a long time, and the half cup of black tea on the table had been cold. The quiet and private environment made Bao Liang understand Zhang Nan's intention in choosing this place, which was a corner where he could confess, question, and quarrel with each other.

Zhang Nan asked for a cup of Coke for Baoliang and added another cup of black tea for herself, and only after the waiter finished delivering the drink and retreated, she slowly spoke. She was not as aggressive as Baoliang expected, nor did she show the anger she deserved, and she did not even show the slightest grievance and resentment.

She calmly asked Baoliang, "You already have a girlfriend, right?" You should have told me sooner. ”

Bao Liang said: "She is my fellow countryman, a ......"

Zhang Nan's voice was quiet, but he made the conversation meticulous: "If you are just a fellow villager, you won't be so wild on the phone." You don't have to deny it, I should have thought of you having your life, I just want you to tell me the truth, have I become a third party? ”

Bao Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his head to look at Zhang Nan: "Yes, she is my girlfriend, and we live together." I didn't tell you because you never said anything to me until today, I just guessed, I guess you probably like me, don't care about my status, don't care that I'm younger than you, don't care that I don't have a degree. I'm just guessing, but I'm not sure I'm not being self-inflicted. ”

Zhang Nan was silent for a moment, as if he could not find the gap in Baoliang's explanation. She said, "You guessed it, I ...... you I have a good impression, I think you are a good person, as long as you are a good person, I don't care about your age, status, academic degree. I only care if you're a good person, whether you're selfish, whether you're honest. ”

Bao Liang was also silent for a moment, his silence was not to think about the right answer, but to reflect on himself. "I'm not selfish, but sometimes I can't be honest," he said. I've had a lot of experiences that I can't talk about for a while, I've made many mistakes, some mistakes that I don't want people to know for the rest of my life. I especially don't want to let me ...... People who have a good impression know. ”

"What about your girlfriend," Zhang Nan asked, "does she know everything about you?" ”

"Yes." "She knows everything about me, so in front of her, I have no self-esteem." ”

"Between men and women," Zhang Nan said, "love is the most important thing, and it doesn't have to be self-esteem." ”

"But since I was a child, my father taught me self-esteem!" "My father also valued self-esteem the most! He values honor and dignity above all else. He hopes that I will be like him, to make achievements in my career, to be respected, and to be honored. Many Chinese are like this, hoping that their children and grandchildren will be honored. ”

When Bao Liang talked about his father, he had been for a long, long time and no longer said the word father. The word father has become obscure and unattainable for him. In this dusk when you have to open your heart, in this quiet bar, there are those strange portraits hanging on the walls in the distance, and the faces are full of suspicion on the faces covered with oil paint. They listened silently like Zhang Nan, listening to Baoliang from his father's meritorious achievements, talking about the Lu family's family ideals, talking about the cruel collision between ideals and reality, talking about the disintegration of parents and siblings, talking about the origin of the platinum earrings, talking about Jianning Sanxiong who shared life and death, talking about Fei Fei, talking about ***, talking about the Public Security Academy, talking about Quan Sangun firing three shots in a row, and the bloody morning that he will never forget in his memory...... Bao Liang confessed almost everything to the woman who had miraculously fallen in love with him, and he even spoke of a dream that he had recurred since his youth, in which the peach-like fire-breathing girl was like the embodiment of a patron saint, so that he always had something to rely on and always had a childlike worship.

But he didn't talk about the little girl. This woman was a stain on his experience, and it was difficult to explain in a few words.

It was getting dark early, and the waiter came and lit the candles for them. Maybe Zhang Nan didn't expect that the short life of the young man opposite would contain such a long content, which is amazing and moving. After the candles ran out of tears, Zhang Nan and Bao Liang walked out of the art gallery and the building hand in hand. The street was gorgeously lit and the flow of people was weaving, and Zhang Nan was on the high steps in front of the building, embracing the tired Baoliang.

Perhaps, she has thought about saying goodbye to Bao Liang today. After all, Baoliang gave her a happy time, so no matter how they broke up, no matter how short the relationship was, it was worth sighing and remembering, and she would not regret it. She may have decided on the attitude of parting up, prepared sad words, maybe even she didn't expect that this man who still seems to be a child, with his apparent calm, will tell those incredible lives, for a woman who longs for passionate love, is there anything more heartwarming than this? What could be more distressing for a woman who craves maternal love? No!

Zhang Nan sent Bao Liang to the gate of the park, which was very close to his residence, which was also the place where they met for the first time, as if it was a commemorative significance. At this time, the place is illuminated by the bright moonlight as if it were day, and the surrounding grass and trees are clean and cool. Zhang Nan told Bao Liang that she had decided to explain her feelings to her parents when she went home tonight. Bao Liang also made a promise to the woman who was touched by him that he would break up with Fei Fei in the fastest possible time.

Witnessed by a bright moon in the sky, they even briefly planned the future. Zhang Nan said that he would pay for Bao Liang to re-enter the university, and also suggested that Bao Liang choose to study foreign languages or popular or practical subjects such as law or international finance. A university diploma, a basic major, is a necessary ticket to enter the mainstream society in the future. After Bao Liang finished college, she could quit her position in the company and study in the United States with Bao Liang, her brother-in-law opened a company and a large restaurant in Chinatown in Chicago and San Francisco, and her parents also had many classmates and old friends in American universities, and they could study and work calmly in many cities without worrying about survival.

Bao Liang took the initiative to hug Zhang Nan's body in the compact seat of the Audi A4, and when his lips first touched Zhang Nan's smooth cheeks, Zhang Nan's violent heartbeat could be felt. She encouraged Baoliang with a generous kiss back, so that he gradually relieved his tension and completely released the passion of the young man's nature.

After a long kiss, Baoliang got out of the car and was a little reluctant. He looked at the distant taillights of the car, and his heart and lips were still full of aftertaste. On the way to his residence, it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have missed something in his confession to Zhang Nan, in addition to the little boy who was deliberately omitted, he seemed to have inadvertently omitted an important person, perhaps because this person actually had no intimate connection with him, and was not an indispensable structure of his entire history.

This person is his alumnus Xia Xuan.

When I returned to my accommodation, I met Fei Fei. Fei Fei is cooking in the kitchen, and Bao Liang hears the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen, and realizes that his breakup with Fei Fei is not as simple as he promised.

Fei Fei took back a few duck racks from her uncle's snack bar that day, boiled a pot of duck soup, and gave it to Li Chen Liu Cunliang to drink, and left half a pot for Baoliang. After Bao Liang came back, he washed up in the bathroom, Fei Fei warmed the duck soup and brought it into their hut, and when Bao Liang finished washing and entered the house, Fei Fei closed the door of the house, put the soup in two bowls, and sat on the bed and enjoyed it slowly with Bao Liang. Although Bao Liang was hungry, he didn't have the slightest appetite, so Fei Fei took a sip of it, and after swallowing it, he didn't know the taste. He put down the bowl and said, "Fei Fei, I want to talk to you about something." I want to move out of here and find a place to live alone. Fei Fei asked strangely: Why, did Li Chen say something? Bao Liang said: No. I just want to live alone and be quiet. Fei Fei nodded and agreed: Also, it's awkward to be crowded with them, Liu Cunliang always sarcastically mocks me, let's move out, but where can we rent such a cheap house? Bao Liang said: I mean, I go out to live alone, you can not move. If you don't want to live here, you can live in your uncle's shop, and you don't have to toss back and forth between work and work every day.

Fei Fei was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand, she said: "Baoliang, what do you mean, you have to bother me to say it." ”

Bao Liang searched through all the words in his intestines, and stiffly arranged the reluctant reasons, which he stammered by him, but which may seem legitimate to Fei Fei.

"I'm not annoying you, I think ...... I don't think it's good for us to live together at such a young age and don't understand anything, just in case...... If my dad finds out one day, he really doesn't want me. Now, my dad is the only one who has one relative, and I don't want to do anything to disappoint him again. ”

Fei Fei said: "If you really think so, then it's okay, we don't sleep in the same room." You slept here, I slept in the hall, and that's it. ”

Bao Liang said: "You have slept in the hall, how inconvenient it is for Li Chen and Liu Cunliang to live." ”

Fei Fei sighed: "What's the matter, it's not that I haven't lived in a room." After a pause, he said, "Either I'll sleep in this room, and you'll sleep in the hall." ”

Bao Liang had nothing to say.

"Well," Bao Liang stepped in, "I'll go to the hall from tomorrow onwards." The four of us are brothers and sisters, and we are relatives to each other. ”

Fei Fei said: "What's wrong with you today, it seems that you don't treat me as a relative, I have long regarded you as my dearest person, do you understand the dearest person!" ”

Bao Liang said: "Relatives, okay, I can't find my sister anyway, so I will recognize you as my sister." I will treat you like my own sister, and when I reconcile with my dad one day, I will let my dad recognize you as a daughter. ”

Fei Fei smiled rely, tired of Baoliang's shoulder, and said, "If you marry me earlier, won't I be able to call your dad right away, I promise that your dad likes me, don't believe us bet." ”

Bao Liang didn't smile, and said seriously: "Don't hang on my tree all the time, you have to meet a suitable friend outside, you can contact him, I have no objection." ”

Fei Fei smiled and squinted her eyes: "What do you mean?" ”

Bao Liang said, "I don't mean anything. ”

"I understand what you mean, don't you just say that I don't have to object to you if you meet the right girl in the future. I see what you mean. ”

"That's not what I meant......"

"That's what you mean!"

"I mean I'm not worthy of you right now, I have to make it clear to you, I don't want to delay you."

"Yes, you don't deserve me, you deserve to drive 'Paul' to eat ***, how rich she is!"

"You know what's going on, what do you mean. I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to move out now! ”

Baoliang got up to take his own things, Fei Fei was angry and said in a poisonous tone: "Lu Baoliang, you don't mean anything at all, no wonder your father doesn't want you anymore, no wonder your sister doesn't recognize you anymore, no wonder your mother...... I think your mother is making you angry! ”

Bao Liang gave Fei Fei a slap, although it was not ruthless, but it was the first time Bao Liang hit a girl. Although he knew that he couldn't ask Fei Fei with Zhang Nan's cultivation, although he knew that Fei Fei scolded everything in a hurry, and digging up the ancestral grave to reveal the bottom of the old man was actually unintentional, but this time Fei Fei was a little too much and poked Bao Liang's wound hard, causing Bao Liang to can't help but beat people.

Fei Fei was slapped and immediately blushed with tears, and scolded: "You dare to hit me!" Then she kicked Bao Liang with her foot, but Bao Liang didn't return it, she kicked again, and Bao Liang pushed her to the bed.

"Tao Feifei, let me tell you, scold me if you scold me, don't mention our family!"

Fei Fei used a stack of clothes used as a pillow on the bed to smash Baoliang: "Do you still have a home!" Why don't you go back when you have a home, what are you doing here when you have a home! Go back! ”

Fei Fei not only had to poke Bao Liang's wound, but also sprinkle salt on the wound. Bao conscience scolded himself fiercely, why did he tell Fei Fei in the past! He walked out of the door with a blushing face, vowing that from now on, all pain would be kept in his heart, and that he would never show his wounds again.

When Li Chen and Liu Cunliang heard the quarrel in the hut, they both put on their clothes and went out to visit Xushi: "Did you quarrel?" Li Chen asked, "Because of what?" ”

Bao Liang shuddered and said, "She's so muddy!" ”

Fei Fei also rushed out and made the situation completely public: "If you want to fall in love with other women, you just say it, I don't know you Lu Baoliang, you sharpened your head and drilled into the car of a rich woman, as long as you can mix with them, you dare to eat even the **!" You let you get rid of the school and you won't change it, if I were your dad, I would have to blast you out! ”

Bao Liang rushed back to beat Fei Fei, but was hugged by Li Chen, and Liu Cunliang also coaxed Fei Fei and persuaded him to go back to the hut. That day, Liu Cunliang comforted Fei Fei in Fei Fei's house all night, and Bao Liang stayed in Li Chen's house and also stayed awake all night. He shed a handful of tears and smoked hard, one after the other. When Li Chen woke up the next day, he saw that there was like a layer of green clouds floating on the roof.

After dawn, everyone got up and got ready to go to work, and saw each other while washing up in the bathroom, and no one took the initiative to talk to anyone. In the past, Fei Fei and Bao Liang always walked all the way to the gate of the park, and then parted ways. Now they go out on the street one after the other, Fei Fei doesn't look back, and Bao Liang doesn't surpass her, they are like passers-by.

On this day, Fei Fei still went to help out at her uncle's snack bar, and Bao Liang still hung like a spider on the outer wall of a glass building. Bao Liang didn't sleep all night, and he didn't eat breakfast, the sun was shining, and he was swinging in mid-air, and his torso and limbs were so soft that they seemed to be twitching muscles and bones.

Baoliang didn't know that Zhang Nan also hadn't slept all night. At this time, Zhang Nan may be standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, his eyes passing over the thousands of high-rise buildings, and he is silently in a daze in the direction of Baoliang.

Bao Liang did not know that the professor and his wife, who were enthusiastic about him every time they saw him, were resolutely opposed to their daughter's choice of love, not because of the outdated concept of family, but because of the mutual intolerance of social and psychological habits.

In order to persuade Zhang Nan, they called Zhang Nan's cousin from home very late yesterday. Although the intellectuals who returned from the United States also admitted that Bao Liang had a good family upbringing, his family was broken up and his personal experience was also stained, which inevitably cast a shadow on his personality development. What's more: you are older than him, are you sure that he really loves you? Zhang Nan's parents' final conclusion is that they have actually given up questioning Baoliang's broken family and bad experiences, and what they advise their daughter to consider carefully is the purity and truth of this love. Judging from the huge difference between the current economic conditions and living conditions of men and women, it is impossible not to suspect other reasons than love.

Zhang Nan explained, she tried to convince her parents: she didn't actually send any financial temptation to Bao Liang, and Bao Liang didn't ask her for any money, they just attracted and moved each other. What happened between them was just a pure love affair between men and women. Zhang Nan concealed the fact that she had promised to sponsor Baoliang to go to college, she concealed this just because she didn't want her parents to catch the handle, not that she was really suspicious of Baoliang's love motives.

Negotiations with his parents ended in vain that night, and his parents apparently did not convince Zhang Nan and were not persuaded by Zhang Nan. They are intellectuals, receive Western-style education, and are contaminated with democratic atmosphere, so they do not intend to interfere in their daughter's marriage and love. But not intervening does not mean that there is no attitude, it does not mean that they cannot use their rich life experience to give their daughter the necessary reminders, and even give serious warnings.

The next night, Zhang Nan didn't make another appointment with Baoliang, and she was upset. She used to be alone when she was upset.

Bao Liang was also in a bad mood.

He stayed up all night, tired all day, dizzy at the end of the evening, lost control of his body when he was pulled back to the roof by the hanging rope, broke his left foot, and his entire ankle was swollen high. After examination, it was found that a small toe bone on the surface of the foot was really cracked, and the doctor did a simple bandage, the kind without a plaster.

Li Chen asked for a rental car for Bao Liang and returned to their residence. Li Chen was officially dismissed by the new boss today, and his face was even more unhappy than Baoliang. He didn't hate the boss, but hated a cousin of the boss, it was that kid who always played right and wrong in front of the boss, and the boss fired Li Chen's position. When helping Baoliang go home, Li Chen was ruthless all the way, holding back that he had to beat that kid.

On this day, the sky was dark, and it didn't rain, and this dark sky left a deep impression on Baoliang. This day was a dark day for him and Li Chen, and both of them lost their jobs on this day. The job that Bao Liang did was originally a temporary hired worker, and the nature of working for a day was counted as a day's money. His foot is injured like this, and it may not be good to recuperate for a month. After the injury, whether there is a vacancy in the company will only be said when the time comes.

On the way home, no matter how Baoliang stopped him, Li Chen still insisted on calling Fei Fei and telling Fei Fei Baoliang about his injury. Fei Fei quickly rushed home, helped Bao Liang wipe his face and body, and cooked dinner for Bao Liang. Li Chen said that he wanted to find another nightclub to apply for, and after making a round of phone calls to his past acquaintances, he hurriedly left, leaving only Baoliang and Fei Fei at home, and the two did not speak to each other, and it was also a transactional sentence and a half.

"Do you want to watch TV?"

"Don't look."

"Is the water hot?"

"Yes."

"Let's go to bed and rest when we're done."

"Ahh

Etcetera.

Baoliang doesn't love Fei Fei, and after meeting Zhang Nan, he was even more sure. The relationship between him and Fei Fei is mostly of a grateful nature, a comfort when lonely, not a mutual attraction and like-mindedness. Bao Liang looked at Fei Fei, he could look down and see at a glance, there was no novelty and mystery, but Zhang Nan in his eyes could not see the top, full of unknowns. Zhang Nan's work, family, and temperament are all very unfamiliar to Baoliang, which makes him unable to hold back and is full of curiosity. He also knew that this was not fair to Fei Fei, and he also knew that he was a very jerk in this way - he came when he needed it, and he didn't want to linger when he wanted it, and Bao Liang was also very disdainful of this attitude towards women in theory. But he also thought, must he use his true love and the happiness of his life to make up for this momentary mistake? He has made so many mistakes, even if he deserves to suffer all his life, but his heart cannot be static by introspection, frozen by redemption, and he is still like everyone else, unable to withstand the temptation of feelings. When he is enveloped by true love, his heartbeat will still re-accelerate.

Bao Liang lay at home for a week. Fei Fei didn't go to work this week, and served Bao Liang at home. But a girl you confirm you don't love, by your side every day, you can only feel upset. No matter how meticulous Fei Fei is, Bao Liang always frowns. Fortunately, the topics between them did not involve sensitive points, and the two sides tacitly understood each other, and they all avoided talking about Zhang Nan.

Bao Liang lies in bed every day, taking care of Fei Fei, but he always thinks about Zhang Nan. His mobile phone broke Fei Fei, and Li Chen's mobile phone was in arrears and couldn't be played. He couldn't get in touch with Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan didn't know where he lived, and it was impossible for him to come and see him if he did. This week, Baoliang was worried, I don't know how Zhang Nan talked to her parents, what her parents' opinions were, whether they were in favor or against, or whether it was her daughter's own volition. He didn't know if Zhang Nan couldn't contact him for a week, whether he would be in a hurry, whether he would guess, or whether he would go to the Baoshijie company to find him.

When his injured foot was just barely touching the ground and he could walk with a jump and jump, he couldn't wait to get out of bed, and took advantage of Fei Fei's opportunity to go out to buy groceries, and asked Li Chen to help him go to the street, saying that he wanted to bask in the wind and sun, but he actually wanted to find a public phone to contact Zhang Nan. But before they could get out of the house, they were blocked by the landlord.

The landlord is here to ask for money.

Li Chen has lived in this room for four months, but he has never met the real landlord. He chose the house through the Fushi real estate agency and paid half a year's rent at a time. The rent was 800 yuan per month, plus the monthly cable TV fee of 54 yuan, the sanitation fee of 18 yuan, and the security fee of 30 yuan, a total of 5,412 yuan, and 35 yuan for the previous tenant. Although some money is paid a little unjustly, the rent is cheap after all! It is still more cost-effective to calculate the general ledger.

The landlord is a middle-aged woman in the image of a shrew, bringing several big men, relying on the strength of the crowd, and saying disrespectfully: "What! Eight hundred and one month? If you don't inquire, it costs eight or nine hundred yuan to rent half a room in this location, and I have two bedrooms and one living room, at least 1,800 a month, and I don't buy one get one free, are you stupid or are we stupid! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and make up for the 1,000 less paid per month, and move away immediately if you don't make it up! ”

Li Chen argued strongly: "I have a contract, and Fushi Company has stamped the official seal, don't believe it!" ”

The landlord said: "Don't show me, Fushi is a scam company, and now no one can find it, and we have called the police." He rented the house to you, and paid us only one month's rent, and it is better for you to make up all the remaining five months to us, so that you can pay another thousand a month to take care of you! ”

Of course Li Chen didn't do it, the two sides quarreled with me, and the landlord actually ordered a few people who came to help to enter the house and forcibly demolish the gas equipment, and also pull out the pipes of the electricity meter and water heater. Li Chen stepped forward to stop him, you pushed me and beat him, there were many people on the other side, Li Chen was ruthless, and he actually had a draw. Baoliang's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he can only be dissuaded by both sides. Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, and both sides were fighting bare-eyed, Bao Liang took advantage of the chaos to limp out of the door, jumped almost on one leg and jumped onto the street, found a public phone, and dialed 110 to call the police.

He reported to the 110 police center that someone had broken into the house and injured someone, and after 110 wrote down the street number, Baoliang hung up the phone. Just wanted to go back to support Li Chen, but suddenly remembered something, paused back, and reached out to pick up the phone again.

He dialed Zhang Nan's mobile phone.

Zhang Nan may be busy, the mobile phone was transferred to the mobile communication service center, and a female voice Lang Lang informed Bao Liang: "The user you dialed cannot answer your call for the time being, and your phone number has been transferred to his mobile phone, thank you." Bao Liang dialed Zhang Nan's company again, and the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Next, he dialed Zhang Nan's home phone, and it was Zhang Nan's father who answered the phone, and after hearing Baoliang's name, his attitude seemed to be a little cold and stereotyped: "Ah, Zhang Nan is not at home, she went on a business trip, I don't know when I will come back, do you have something to do with her?" Bao Liang didn't know if he was too sensitive and careful, he felt that Zhang Nan's father's attitude towards him had changed compared with before, there was no warmth and kindness in the past, and his tone became extremely unfamiliar. Bao Liang wanted to ask him to tell Zhang Nan about his injury, but the other party's attitude of refusing to be thousands of miles away made him not speak.

"Ah, I...... I'm fine. Then I'll fight again later, thank you, uncle, goodbye uncle. ”

After hanging up the phone, Bao Liang stood in place, stunned for a long time, feeling very uncomfortable. He even suspected that Zhang Nan was actually at home, just on the other side of the phone, watching his father talk to him silently.

Bao Liang held on to the wall on the side of the road, step by step, and walked home. Halfway through the exhaustion of his physical strength, he sat down against the wall, from mental to physical, almost collapsed!

Looking up at the sun in the sky, the sun glowed hazy white as usual. Bao conscience slowly calmed down, and slowly thought about things for the better. He may have imagined Zhang Nan's father's expression when he answered the phone too coldly, so he felt that his voice was too serious and cold. Maybe people actually have a smile on their faces when they answer the phone, and Bao Liang lets himself imagine that smile, and then thinks about the tone of his voice, and he immediately becomes gentle and kind, which is completely normal.

He thought, maybe Zhang Nan is indeed on a business trip, today is not Saturday and Sunday, and it is impossible for her to stay at home if she is not on business at this hour. Since the phone call of the unit is not answered, it means that the business trip may not be fake.

Thinking like this, and having strength again, Bao Liang struggled to stand up and insisted on walking home. When he arrived home, he saw a police car parked in front of the door and surrounded by a human wall. He was startled, thought something was wrong, and hurried upstairs into the house. When I entered the house, I saw that it was full of messes, and I remembered that the police were called by him. When the police arrived, both sides of the brawl had stopped, and Li Chen's eyes were swollen and he had a nosebleed. The landlord's side seemed to suffer more losses, one person was opened by Li Chen with some hard object, and his face was bleeding, and the other person's lips were high and swollen, and even the landlord's face was faintly marked with five fingers, and he couldn't help but grin when he spoke. Several policemen reprimanded them loudly, suppressed the shouting of the landlord, and ordered all those who started the fight to go to the "bureau" to solve the problem and be dealt with. Bao Liang was stunned to see Li Chen, the landlord and other men with blue heads and swollen faces being taken out of the door one by one, and a policeman asked the onlookers: Who called the police? Bao Liang said behind his back: Me. The policeman turned around and said, "You go too!"

Bao Liang saw Xia Xuan again.

The group was taken to the substation, to a large room, where they were interrogated and educated in criticism. The two parties accused each other and argued with each other, and their emotions were still excited, and in the midst of the noise and admonition, Baoliang suddenly saw Xia Xuan.

Xia Xuan was like a perfect goddess in a computer game, she walked in silently, she came in and whispered to the policeman who dealt with the resident dispute, handed him a document, and glanced at the group of "troublemakers" with blue heads and swollen nosebleeds before leaving, she obviously saw Bao Liang in the crowd. Bao Liang still had a bandage on one of his feet, and he looked as if he was the most injured in the fight.

Bao Liang has always looked at Xia Xuan from the moment Xia Xuan entered the room, because he had Zhang Nan in his heart, he looked at Xia Xuan's eyes, and immediately became fearless. But there was still a hint of undetectable kindness in that look, and the admiration for this alumnus that had always existed.

Xia Xuan's gaze seemed to stop on Bao Liang's face for only a moment, a little stunned, a little disgusted, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly moved away. After Xia Xuan left, Bao Liang recalled her eyes, and suddenly felt aggrieved, and the frustration in his heart was indescribable. He couldn't remember how many times he had met Xia Xuan unexpectedly in such a humiliating place, and these embarrassing encounters made him in Xia Xuan's heart, and his dignity must have been swept away.

The police did not delay too much time in handling the dispute, and the mediation and reprimand were all done, and each played the "50 big board". A few days later, when Bao Liang saw the newspaper, he learned that the Fushi housing agency had fled with the money. Its behavior of promising homeowners at high prices and renting to tenants at low prices is suspected of fraud. The police have opened a case for investigation, but there is no solution to the sharp conflict between tenants and landlords. Li Chen's landlord only collected one month's rent from the intermediary, and he felt that he had suffered too much, so he still came to make trouble every day, smashing a glass today, and locking the door tomorrow; Li Chen paid the rent for half a year, and only lived for four months, and then he was driven out for no reason, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, and he swore not to move. What's more, Li Chen just found an errand as a foreman in a nearby nightclub, and it is more convenient to live here, so it is more convenient to go to and from work every day. Bao Liang Feifei and Liu Cunliang also had nowhere to go for the time being, so they could only work together with Li Chen to fight violence and rent, and confront each other with the landlord.

Fortunately, Bao Liang's foot injury gradually recovered, and from the first day he was able to limp out of the house and go to the street alone, he took a bus to the International Trade Building and found Zhang Nan's company. Downstairs in Zhang Nan's company, or in the elevator hall, he finally met Zhang Nan, who had just returned from a business trip.
