Lao Lin had acute pneumonia and a high fever that did not go away for several days. Lao Lin and his wife are going through a divorce, so on the third day after he was admitted to the hospital, he hurried from Beijing to the "third party" who got along with Lao Lin and could become his son's stepmother in the future. On the same day, the office also called and gave instructions on Han Ding's whereabouts: since the court said that the court would not hold a trial in the near future, the office would not send another person to come. The institute asked Han Ding to listen to the pharmaceutical factory's plan for the next step of this compensation case, and then handed over Lao Lin to Lao Lin's wife, and then he could come back.

So, Han Ding went to talk to the director of the pharmaceutical factory and asked him if the factory's position on the compensation case had changed. The director did not give any reply to this. As soon as Luo Baochun died, the pharmaceutical factory had no owner in the world, and even the factory director couldn't tell what to do next for this factory, who still had the heart to ponder this small case? He said to Han Ding impatiently: "The factory is busy with Boss Luo's aftermath these days, I think you should go back first." It turns out that Boss Luo agrees with you to take the plane or the train? By plane? Okay, you can buy a ticket, and send the ticket back when you go back, and we will report it to you. ”

So, Han Ding went to buy a plane ticket. Before leaving, he went to the Yellow Crane Lake Scenic Area alone to play, and spent two hours climbing up to the Yilai Peak, which is not too high but needs to be slowly climbed. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking south, you can almost see the whole picture of the Yellow Crane Lake Scenic Area, and of course, you can also see the gray roof of Luo Baochun's villa. The air in the mountains is cool. From a distance, the lake is covered with a layer of low clouds like fog, and the shape of the Yellow Crane Lake looms in this layer of clouds. Perhaps it is this haze that is difficult to understand at a glance that makes the Yellow Crane Lake beautiful, which makes Han Ding think of Luo Jingjing, the mysterious girl who made him pay attention to and worry about it, I don't know what kind of mood it will be at this time? Will that sudden wealth dissolve her sudden grief? Will it dissolve her eternal loneliness in the future?

Coming down from the mountain and returning to the city, Han Ding's heart was stunned. I don't know if I'm really compassionate or unrequited. I ate some food on the street alone at night, and after returning to the hotel, I was bored, and I was not interested in watching TV, and I wanted to sleep after taking a shower, and the phone rang before I turned off the lights when I got to bed.

The caller was Director Wang of the pharmaceutical company.

Director Wang's voice on the phone was a little sneaky, and he asked first, "Are you Han Ding?" ”

Han Ding said, "Yes." ”

Director Wang asked again: "Are you alone in the house?" ”

Han Ding said: "Yes, I am alone. ”

Director Wang said, "I have something I want to talk to you about, can you come out for a while?" ”

Han Ding said: "Come out? Where are you going? ”

Director Wang said: "You come to the Yuanfu Bridge, there is a riverside teahouse on the east of Qiaotou Road. You want a taxi, and the driver knows it when you go to Yuanfu Bridge. ”

Han Ding felt that Director Wang's tone was a little abnormal, and he was too lazy to move his nest after taking a shower, so he said, "I'm sorry I'm already asleep, why don't you talk about it tomorrow if it's something urgent?" I'll leave tomorrow in the afternoon. ”

Director Wang's voice on the phone was polite and persistent: "I'm really sorry Lawyer Han, I really have an important matter to look for you." Lawyer Lin is sick, and I have to look for you now. ”

Han Ding said, "What the hell is going on? ”

Director Wang said, "Let's meet and talk." ”

Han Ding thought about it, and in the past few days, he has been in contact with this Director Wang, and he feels that he is generally a calm and decent person, and it is only a little more than nine o'clock when he looks at the time, and when people ask him out to talk about things, it seems that he can't be so suspicious. So he asked again about the bridge and the location of the teahouse by the bridge, and after making an appointment, he hung up the phone, got up and dressed, locked the door and came out.

According to Director Wang's instructions, he called a taxi at the entrance of the hotel and asked the driver to drive to the Yuanfu Bridge. He thought that he would have to walk half a city to Yuanfu Bridge, but he didn't expect that he only made two turns, a total of less than five minutes. Pingling was not big, but five minutes was enough to take Han Ding from the brightly lit city center to a corner where he couldn't tell where it was. Except for the street lamps on the bridge, it is very dark here, and this Yuanfu Bridge does not seem to be a round-trip way for city people to come out for a night life, so the tea house on the east of Qiaotou Road is naturally extremely quiet and depressed. Han Ding pushed the door in, and in the dim candlelight, there were only two tables of guests guarding the corner, one table was talking to each other, and the other table was playing cards, only playing cards without making a sound. Han Ding stood at the door and looked around, but there was no trace of Director Wang. A tea boy in a Chinese coat came over and bowed down and asked, "Sir?" Han Ding said, "I'm looking for someone." The tea boy said, "Are you Mr. Han?" Han Ding said yes. The tea boy immediately turned around and led the way: "Oh, Mr. Han, please go this way, your friend is upstairs." Only then did Han Ding find that there was a dangerous pass hidden in the left-hand direction, which was a small passage connected to a small door, and there was a staircase hidden in the mezzanine. He followed the tea boy up the narrow, steep wooden staircase to the second floor and into a Japanese tatami mat room. The private room is very small, so you have to take off your shoes before entering the room. A kang table was set up in the room, an oil lamp was lit on the kang table, and a person was already sitting next to the oil lamp. Fortunately, the underside of the kang table is empty, so you can put your feet in it. Han Ding is most afraid of being cross-legged or kneeling like the Japanese.

After the tea boy served tea and a few snacks, closed the door and retreated, Han Ding looked around the four walls and asked with a half-smile: "What are you looking for me, as for meeting in such a mysterious place?" It's like a spy joint. ”

Director Wang didn't smile, and when he lowered his head and thought for a while, he raised his head and said: "Lawyer Han, it's not me looking for you, it's another person who wants to find you, and I'm here to meet you instead of this person." ”

Han Ding smiled: "Who?" Who wants to see me? ”

Director Wang said: "Our daughter of Chairman Luo, Luo Jingjing. ”

Luo Jingjing?

Han Ding was startled, his face was silent, and he was a little excited in his heart, he tried his best to ask calmly, "Luo Jingjing, why does she want to see me?" ”

Director Wang didn't answer immediately, with a long expression, he sighed deeply, and then slowly spoke: "Oh, these days, our company is really messed up, and no one has the heart to focus on production and sales, they are all busy fighting for power and profit. ”

Han Ding asked in surprise: "How come, haven't I already read out Boss Luo's last words?" This factory has already belonged to his daughter Luo Jingjing. Luo Jingjing is his only relative, originally the legal heir, and now the heir to the estate, her inheritance is indisputable. ”

Director Wang shook his head and said: "She is a girl who has not grown up, and she doesn't know what is going on in the company, but now she suddenly experiences the pain of losing her father, how can she still be in the mood to care about the company's affairs?" Today I heard from her nanny that her boyfriend kicked her a few days ago without saying goodbye. She's about to collapse, how can she care about the company's affairs anymore? ”

Han Ding was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily left the issue of inheritance and moved to his most sensitive direction: "She has a boyfriend?" What the hell? ”

"Who knows, I haven't seen it either, I heard the nanny say so."

Han Ding stared at this topic relentlessly and asked, "Why did her boyfriend kick her because her father died?" ”

Director Wang said: "What else can it be, as soon as Boss Luo dies, everyone below betrays his relatives and leaves, and Luo Jingjing can't control the situation at all." Now everyone can see that this company will collapse when it says it will collapse. Isn't it a common occurrence in a society like ours that trees fall and fall apart? ”

Han Ding pondered, pondering Director Wang's words in his heart - Luo Jingjing has a boyfriend and blows it. I don't know if this is good news or bad news for Han Ding. His mind was chaotic, and he deliberately muttered in disguise: "It's a big company, how can it be said that it will collapse......

Director Wang's voice was very calm: "The situation of our company is indeed more complicated, and the financial situation has been relatively tight in the past few years, and we have borrowed a lot of money from the bank to carry out the expansion project. Although the company is Luo Baochun's, in fact, like the factory director and chief accountant, Mr. Luo has promised to give them dry shares in the past, and I heard that there was a verbal agreement between Mr. Luo and them. In the past few days, everyone outside has known that Mr. Luo is gone, and banks and suppliers have come to force debts. Yesterday was the day when wages were paid in the factory, and the wages were not paid for some reason, and the workers stopped working today. even said that Luo Jingjing didn't want to run this factory anymore, so she wanted to roll up the money and leave. The workers are in a hurry, and they will take whatever they see in the factory. The factory director and the chief accountant also let out their words, saying that they would do their best to protect the legitimate interests of all employees, and that this factory was built by their hard work, and they must not let a yellow-haired girl be ruined as much as she wanted. Luo Jingjing didn't even dare to go to the company now, she hid in her father's villa and cried for the past two days. The villa is also rented, and this year's rent should be paid on the 5th of next month, and the factory director and chief accountant don't know if they will pay it. If you don't pay people, the scenic spot management office will blast people out. Alas, where can Luo Jingjing fight them, she is still a child. ”

Han Ding listened, was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Then what is she looking for me for?" ”

Director Wang stared at Han Ding and didn't answer immediately, at that moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only the crackling sound of the lamp twisting and blasting remained. The reddening of the oil lamp made his features sink deep and tremble slightly, and the long silence made Han Ding incomprehensible.

Director Wang slowly spoke: "She asked me to find you, hoping that through you, I would ask your law firm to accept her entrustment as her agent and take over Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." ”

Han Ding's eyes widened, and his mouth was half open and he didn't speak. His heart was shaken by the shadow of the roof. He calmed down for a moment and asked, "Is she looking for me, or do you want her to find me?" ”

Director Wang replied, "She is looking for you." After a pause, he added, "I suggested she find you." ”

Han Ding didn't know how to answer for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "This kind of thing, you can find a local law firm, the local lawyer may be more familiar with the industrial and commercial finance and taxation departments here, and the support of these local departments is indispensable for taking over the enterprise, otherwise it can't be done at all." ”

Director Wang shook his head: "The law firm here is too familiar with our factory director, those suppliers, and the bank. Pingling is too small, and people who mix in the scene can catch up with friends in three or two rounds, and we don't dare to find a local lawyer if there is a conflict with these people. Moreover, please ask your lawyers in Beijing to come forward to do things, and the law enforcement agencies here will not dare to mess around. After all, they will be quite cautious about the people who come from Beijing, because they feel that the people in Beijing have some backgrounds, and it is not easy to say which one has the way to the sky. ”

After Director Wang finished speaking, he looked at Han Ding through the flame of the oil lamp, waiting for him to make a statement. Han Ding said, "In this case, I'll go back and report your thoughts to our office." As far as I know, we have accepted your commission, and as a law firm, it is impossible to take over a business directly. However, we can act as an agent for the owner to organize this work, entrust an accounting firm to audit and seal the accounts on your behalf, and entrust an asset management company to manage the company's property and daily operations. The duration of the management can be determined by the owner depending on the situation. In other words, it is up to Luo Jingjing to decide. ”

Han Ding's words were all heard in the school before, but when he said this, Director Wang's face immediately brightened, and a relieved smile appeared on his face:

"yes, that's what I mean, that's what I mean."

The meaning came together, the expressions of the two people relaxed, and they discussed for a while, to see that the time was not early, and then Director Wang called the tea boy to settle the account, and the two went downstairs one after the other, and the two tables of guests downstairs did not know when they had already gone to tea and cooled the birds and beasts. Han Ding and Director Wang walked out of the tea house side by side. When shaking hands and saying goodbye, Han Ding suddenly remembered something and said solemnly:

"Oh, by the way, Director Wang, if Luo Jingjing really intends to entrust us, she also needs to issue a formal power of attorney, which must be signed by her. In other words, whatever she entrusts us, it must come from her own true will. ”

Han Ding's words and the layer of unease contained in this passage, Director Wang of course understood it, and nodded again and again: "Of course, of course." That's it, aren't you on the afternoon plane tomorrow, I'll call Luo Jingjing out tomorrow morning and let her meet with you, how about you talk face to face? ”

Han Ding originally wanted to say politely, "It's not necessary", but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated, and said: "Okay...... All right. ”

So, it was decided. They briefly agreed on the time and place of meeting Luo Jingjing the next day: the time was ten o'clock in the morning, and the place was Huayan Temple, an ancient stone Buddha temple on the outskirts of the city. To Han Ding's ears, as today, there is also a taste of a spy meeting or an underground party connection.

It wasn't until after the breakup, on the way back to the hotel, that Han Ding really got excited. He didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity to fall out of thin air, allowing him to have such a close and direct relationship with Luo Jingjing tomorrow and in the future. If they can really become friends in the future, and even go into each other's lives, then tonight, the secret meeting between him and Director Wang in the private room upstairs of the East Riverside Tea House on Qiaotou Road, Yuanfu Bridge, Pingling, has become a moment worth remembering forever.

That night, Han Ding fell into a dream, dreaming that a bright bright light enveloped him, and when he was dazzled, he saw a girl dressed in a costume with a peach blossom on her face. After waking up, he tried his best to recall this moment in his dream, and he concluded that it was Luo Jingjing who he first saw at the hairstyle party of the Pingling Century Hotel. This impression, which is strongly colored in the splendor of the spotlight, has always been a brilliant art rather than a reality of life in Han Ding's mind, even when he dreamed of her.

The next day, Han Dingru went to Huayan Temple on time on the southern outskirts of Pingling as promised last night.

The air in Huayan Temple is quiet, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and there are few tourists. In the backyard of the temple, there is a large hall built against the mountain wall, and a stone Buddha is enshrined in the hall. Judging from the introduction of the inscription in front of the hall, this stone Buddha has an ancient life, the historical site is like that, and there are several folk legends as the embellishment of the official history, so it has become the theme of the whole Huayan Temple. Only here did Han Ding see a few good men and women burning incense and kneeling down, and several groups of foreign tourists stopped to linger. Han Ding doesn't believe in Buddhism and doesn't understand Buddhism, but he knows that when he enters the temple gate, he must have a sense of reverence, otherwise he may be unlucky and break his arm when he goes down the mountain. So he stood in front of the stone Buddha solemnly, looked up respectfully, and did not retract his gaze until the back of his neck was sore, and even the action of slowly turning around after retracting his gaze was as much as possible to avoid scribbling, and after the whole set of actions was completed, he just happened to see Director Wang who came from the mountain fog at the entrance of the main hall, and Luo Jingjing, who was slim and slim beside him.

He looked at Luo Jingjing, wanting to see how that face was different from on the catwalk and in his dream last night. But Luo Jingjing stood with her backlight, the outline of her face was plated with a layer of golden imaginary edges mixed with the mist of sunlight, and the details of her facial features were difficult to see. Luo Jingjing also glanced at him, and immediately looked away and looked up at the stone Buddha in the hall. She walked into the main hall, walked to the Buddha without hesitation, Director Wang then handed her the incense stick bought at the temple gate, and helped her light the incense, taught her to hold the incense in both hands, bow her head and pray silently, bow down and worship Ruyi, and then insert the incense in the incense burner, every step is guided by Director Wang, Luo Jingjing also follows the trend, like a child to do serious but no assertiveness.

After worshipping the Buddha, Luo Jingjing's eyes met Han Ding again, looked at it and then turned his head to look at Director Wang as if asking for advice. Director Wang said hello to Han Ding at this time:

"Coming?"

Han Ding nodded.

Director Wang said, "Let's talk outside." ”

Outside the stone Buddha hall, the courtyard wall is high, the left side is a pine forest, and the right side is a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is not the thin green bamboo that is common in Beijing, but a tall and sturdy purple bamboo. The cold winter did not bring the slightest sign of decay to this purple bamboo, but made it seem to have a more calm and heavy temperament. They wandered along uninhabited paths in the woods, not knowing who to say something first. Walking side by side with Luo Jingjing allowed Han Ding to estimate her height, which was between 1.72 meters and 1.75 meters, which was the height of Han Ding's favorite girl. Han Ding himself is 1.82 meters, and he has always felt that the difference between men and women is ten centimeters.

There was not much time, but Director Wang broke the silence and spoke first: "Jingjing, Lawyer Han is going back to Beijing this afternoon, you can say anything you want." ”

Luo Jingjing stood down, glanced at Han Ding, and lowered her head. The makeup on her face is just right, showing the girl's delicate and glamorous, and it is also more natural. But that hurried glance could still make Han Ding see from her eyes how haggard she was these days.

Luo Jingjing said in a dumb voice with obvious restraint: "Lawyer Han, please help." ”

Director Wang smiled and said, "This kid can't speak. ”

Han Ding actually likes Luo Jingjing very much, a girl is a girl, and there should be a girl's unique weakness and shyness. He smiled with appreciative eyes, and wanted to hold on to the favor with a moment of silence, but because of the urgency of time, he had to start today's question as soon as possible.

"Miss Luo, can you tell me what you need us to do for you? What would you like us to help with? ”

Luo Jingjing raised her head, still looking at Director Wang with dependence. Director Wang was about to answer for her, but was interrupted by Han Ding:

"Miss Luo, do you want us to be your agent, and we will hire a national certified public accountant and an asset management company on your behalf to clean up and manage the assets of Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which should be inherited by you, do you mean this?"

Luo Jingjing looked at Director Wang again, and Director Wang said encouragingly: "Jingjing, only you are the real legal client, so Lawyer Han must ask you in person." If you want to entrust them, you will say yes, and if you don't want you, you will say no. ”

Luo Jingjing turned her face to Han Ding and nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Han Ding also nodded and said, "Okay." He turned to Director Wang and said, "If our firm accepts the entrustment, we will send someone to Pingling next time to sign a formal entrustment agreement with you." ”

Director Wang first smiled, then his face was solemn, and he said, "I'm sorry Xiao Han, I hope you come over as soon as possible." ”

The three of them walked along the bamboo forest path and unconsciously walked to the gate of Huayan Temple. Han Ding knew that it was time to break up, he first shook hands with Director Wang and said goodbye, then turned to Luo Jingjing, said words of comfort and persuasion to mourn, and after speaking, he turned his head and stepped out of the temple gate with a very manly decisiveness. But at this time, he didn't expect that Luo Jingjing suddenly stopped him.

"Lawyer Han......"

Han Ding stopped, he stood in the sunlight at the door of the temple, turned his head to meet Luo Jingjing's eyes, Luo Jingjing asked:

"Will you come next time?"

Han Ding smiled at her and asked rhetorically, "Do you want me to come?" ”

Luo Jingjing said: "Hope." ”

Han Ding said: "Then I'll fight for it." ”

On the way back to the city from Huayan Temple, Han Ding repeatedly chewed on the last two sentences of dialogue between him and Luo Jingjing in his heart. These two sentences sounded like a private engagement between two young people, a personal invitation and a promise from a friend. The kind of dependence and trust expressed in Luo Jingjing's childlike tone is exciting. Han Ding rushed back to the city and went to the hospital to say goodbye to Lao Lin first. Lao Lin's pneumonia has not completely disappeared, and he is still lying on the bed hanging bottles. He briefly reported to Lao Lin at the bedside about his meeting with Director Wang and Luo Jingjing, and Lao Lin gave him some instructions on how to report to the institute when he went back. If it weren't for Lao Lin's girlfriend not letting Lao Lin talk more, Lao Lin would have almost missed Han Ding's plane by nagging him.

Han Ding has to go back to the hotel to pick up his luggage.

After Han Ding left Pingling and returned to Beijing, everything was expected in terms of the process. He reported on the trip to Pingling, Luo Baochun's sudden death, the civil strife in the pharmaceutical factory, and Luo Jingjing's commission. After some research and discussion, the head of the firm finally decided to take on this case, which must be a bit oily and watery, and it is also more conducive to improving the reputation of the firm. So, on the third day of Han Ding's return to Beijing to report on his work, he accompanied Lao Qian, another senior lawyer at the partner level in the firm, and the two of them came to Pingling again. The one who came to the airport to pick them up was still the old and respectful Director Wang, and it was still the half-new Mercedes-Benz. The difference is that the road from the airport to the city has probably just been cleaned up and tidy, while the Mercedes Benz looks dirty and messy, and it looks completely different from the last time I visited. The hygiene of the car seems to be a microcosm of the current situation of the pharmaceutical factory, which makes people feel that some failures are obvious. In front of the driver, Director Wang and Han Ding just looked at each other and smiled, tacitly, and didn't say much.

On the night they arrived in Pingling, in the hotel room where they were staying, Ms. Luo signed the power of attorney prepared for her by the Central Asia Law Firm. In the days that followed, she signed many other documents that required her signature. These documents are important decisions and of great significance to Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. In accordance with the authorization of these documents, a qualified accounting firm began to enter the pharmaceutical factory, began to verify the accounts and inventory the assets; An experienced asset management company also sent a capable team to manage the pharmaceutical factory. Luo Jingjing also signed the dismissal of the original factory director and chief accountant according to the advice of the lawyer and the trusteeship team, and dismissed other senior management cadres who only she had the right to dismiss. Those days Lao Lin's illness was basically cured, and he also participated in the work of Lao Qian and Han Ding. Lao Lin, Lao Qian and the custodian company thought that who should be dismissed and what measures should be taken, so they drew up a decision and handed it to Luo Jingjing for signature. Luo Jingjing no longer participates in model shows, and hides at home all day long. Luo Baochun's rented villa in the Yellow Crane Lake Scenic Area has been retired by Luo Jingjing, and she lives alone in the original courtyard of her family in the city, with no relatives and no friends. Han Ding and her met a few more times in those days, all when they sent documents to her house for her to sign. Her house was messy inside and out, like no one had taken care of her for a long time, and Luo Jingjing herself was sick, silent, and untidy. Han Ding looked at her as if she had not read the documents, and when she signed, he didn't say much. Suddenly experiencing the pain of losing his father and being abandoned by his boyfriend, such a low tide can probably only be overcome with the passage of time, and any previous consolation and enlightenment will not help.

Han Ding's work in this case is the role of a coolie with one servant and two masters. Copying and writing, running and running, a lot of transactional work is pressed on him alone, every day Lao Lin and Lao Qian Zhi make all fours to the sky, fatigue and triviality make his feeling of work become boring, the only thing that makes him feel stimulated is Luo Jingjing's active request for help. That night, Luo Jingjing was blocked at home by the drunk Nobita and a group of migrant workers from Zhejiang to ask for Siping's compensation money, and she was so frightened that she cried and called Han Ding's hotel. This hero's adventure to save the beauty came very suddenly, which made Han Ding have a kind of heroism when he was ordered to be in danger, but the end was too sloppy, so sloppy that it looked like a farce in the future. When Han Ding arrived at Luo Jingjing's house, the Nobita's alcohol had already passed, and they were about to leave, but Han Ding showed them his identity as a lawyer and advised them not to defy the law. Although his righteous words drew a burst of laughter from the migrant workers, they were actually greeted by Nobita after laughing, and threw down a few empty threats and obscene swear words and left for a truce. As soon as they left, the small courtyard of the Luo family suddenly fell silent, leaving only Han Ding and Luo Jingjing speechless. This opportunity for the two of them to be alone was unexpected by Han Ding, and he was even invited by Luo Jingjing to sit in the messy living room of her house for a while and have a drink, and then he in turn invited Luo Jingjing to follow him to the hotel where they were staying. It's too unsafe for a girl to live in such an independent courtyard, maybe Nobita's gang will come back to make trouble when they are happy, and the man will drink too much and the bartender may not do something ridiculous. Even if they don't come, the pharmaceutical factory has changed the dynasty these days, and I don't know how many people hold a grudge, and it is unknown to find Luo Jingjing to take revenge, so it is better to hide and be safer. Luo Jingjing was said by Han Ding, and he really silently followed him and left home. The two got into a taxi and went to Han Ding's hotel.

That night, Han Ding squeezed into Lao Lin's room and gave up the cabin he lived in to Luo Jingjing. When he said goodnight to Luo Jingjing, he saw that this girl had a good impression of him, and there was some kindness in her gratitude, and there was a little shyness in her kindness. She said, "Goodbye Han Ding! She called his name. Han Ding no longer called her Miss Luo, and also called her by her name: "Sleep well Luo Jingjing, let's see you tomorrow." Han Ding felt that the expressions of the two of them were a little reluctant when they said goodbye. Han Ding originally thought that if Luo Jingjing really had a good impression of him, he might use this hotel as a refuge and live there. Unfortunately, for some reason, Luo Jingjing didn't do this, she moved out after breakfast the next day and moved to one of her classmates. But she told Han Ding the address and told Han Ding not to tell others.

Except for the fact that this incident made a little progress in the relationship between him and Luo Jingjing, which was still indistinguishable for the time being, in the course of their battle to defend Luo Jingjing's rights, there were almost no other exciting things that happened. The whole campaign progressed more easily and quickly than Han Ding had originally expected, and the bespectacled factory director was dismissed from his post and took the salary that was due to him, and never showed up again. The chief accountant said goodbye and typed his resignation report himself. What is more troublesome is those ordinary workers, because the factory owes them two months' wages, so it is almost to the point of going to the city to conduct a sit-in demonstration. When Luo Baochun was alive, he had some prestige in the factory, and there were some cases of arrears of wages for a few days in the past, and the workers did not make any trouble. As soon as Luo Baochun died, the psychological endurance of the workers changed, and they asked the factory to immediately cash in the arrears of wages. Nobita's group of migrant workers also joined in the fun, and they still fought for Siping's compensation. The entire Baochun Pharmaceutical Factory was quickly paralyzed, and the few people sent by the asset custody company were not able to give orders at all, and the only job they could do was to hire a group of security guards to protect the factory. Baochun Pharmaceutical Factory is a model taxpayer and star enterprise in the city for many years, so the head of the city also attaches great importance to this labor dispute, and the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee have instructions, and they seem to have heard of some old forests and old money, and Han Ding does not know.

When the workers were in tandem and united, ready to set off a new round of larger petitions, as if there was a "bang", the whole incident caused by Luo Baochun's death suddenly settled and came to an end at once. An ending that no one expected at first came to the surface.

That is: Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. declared bankruptcy.

In fact, before Luo Baochun's death, the company's financial turnover was already ineffective, and the main reason was that the greedy expansion project dragged down the company's cash flow. The company's accumulation was all invested, and it borrowed more than 30 million yuan from the bank. Luo Baochun's original reliance was that there was still more than 50 million yuan worth of Baochun oral liquid for sale in the library, but the distant water could not quench the thirst of the near, he would not die, and everything could still be maintained; As soon as he died, everyone couldn't hold their breath and made a fuss. Workers demand that wages be settled, and strikes without paying; The bank loan is no longer extended, and the factory is required to repay the loan on time; The raw material suppliers in the factory also did not want to pay on credit, and came to the door to ask for money, and several suppliers have sent a complaint to take Baochun to court...... Baochun Company had no way out under the attack of several sides, and after repeated negotiations between Lao Lin, Lao Qian, asset management companies and banks and other creditors, they had no choice but to suggest that Luo Jingjing go bankrupt automatically. The assets of Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were handed over to the Pingling Intermediate People's Court to preside over the auction to pay off the debts.

It was originally a very good factory, very good equipment, and non-expired inventory, but it could be put on the table for auction, and it would be worthless immediately. Luo Baochun has worked hard for 20 years and claims to be worth hundreds of millions, but the result of the hammer is chilling: all the assets of Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were finally auctioned for only 53 million yuan, and according to the regulations, the arrears of wages and bankruptcy settlement fees were first paid, and then the arrears of state taxes were repaid, and the remaining money was far from enough for the banks and suppliers. The property rights of Luo Baochun's car and the small courtyard where Luo Jingjing lived were also registered in the name of the pharmaceutical company and belonged to the company's property, so they were also listed in the auction list and left the hammer. Lao Lin, Lao Qian and Han Ding worked hard for more than two months to save Baochun Company, and finally ended up with such an unexpected ending, and even their lawyer fees and agency fees were nothing. They could only shake their heads and sigh and hand over the relevant materials of the entire case to the court, and return to Luo Jingjing himself what should be returned to Luo Jingjing himself, get rid of the matter as soon as possible, and then pack up their bags, buy tickets, and leave Pingling dejectedly, listlessly and empty-handed, and think that they were unlucky to go back to Beijing.

Before leaving Pingling, Han Ding never saw Luo Jingjing again. The day before they left, he accompanied Lao Lin to Luo Jingjing's classmate to find her once, returned the materials and said goodbye to her, but she was not there. Her female classmate said she hadn't been back for two days and couldn't figure out where she went. Lao Lin left those irrelevant materials to her classmates and asked her to transfer them on her behalf, and left the phone number of their law firm, and then came out with Han Ding.

That night, Han Ding excused himself to buy some Pingling specialties for his parents, said that he was going to go around the street, said hello to Lao Lin and left the hotel. He took a taxi and quietly got to Luo Jingjing's classmate alone. He was looking forward to meeting Luo Jingjing on the last night.

Luo Jingjing's classmates live in the workers' new village in the east of the city. The building was a product of the sixties, and it was probably new back then, but now it's all old like a slum, but fortunately, the house has just been renovated, and you can still smell the smell of paint. Luo Jingjing's best female classmate is older than Luo Jingjing, she looks more mature, her words and gestures reveal a bit of pungent and old age that does not match her age, and she actually has a bit of the style of an eldest sister when talking to Han Ding.

"What do you say? Her boyfriend? No! The girl shook her head and said, "Luo Jingjing won't be with her boyfriend, absolutely not." ”

"So, she still has a boyfriend?" Han Ding hid his disappointment and asked, "Do you know where her boyfriend lives?" He saw that the girl was silent, and added, "We have some materials that need to be handed over to Luo Jingjing in person." ”

The girl said, "Have you ever seen her boyfriend?" ”

Han Ding hesitated and shook his head.

The girl said: "She and her boyfriend used to be together every day, but her father didn't know about it, and no one knew about it except me." ”

Han Ding's eyes darkened, and he didn't know whether he was hollowed out all of a sudden, or was stuffed with something stiffly, and he asked again with a gloomy mood, "Where does her boyfriend live?" ”

The girl said: "Before her father's accident, her boyfriend said goodbye. Luo Jingjing almost went crazy. ”

Han Ding was stunned and said, "Why did her boyfriend leave her?" ”

The girl said, "Who knows why?" Luo Jingjing didn't say why. ”

Han Ding was silent for a moment and asked, "Do they love each other very much?" ”

The girl said, "I guess so." As soon as the boy left, I realized that Luo Jingjing had died and come back to life for him. ”

At this time, the girl's house had a few more guests, and the host was busy entertaining. Han Ding had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, he left his mobile phone number and his phone number at home in Beijing, asked the girl to be sure to hand it over to Luo Jingjing, and then said goodbye.

In the early morning of the next day, the first rain since the beginning of spring in Pingling fell in the sky, and Han Ding took a train with Lao Lin and Lao Qian to leave Pingling, which was soaked in rain. As the train started, Handing thought that he might never get a chance to come back to the city, and everything about the city immediately became clear and unforgettable in his mind. The most memorable is of course the beautiful girl Luo Jingjing, who experienced the vicissitudes of life that many people will not encounter in a short moment, from carefree to helpless; From having a lot of money to being homeless. How could she bear all this? Where has she gone? Is she lonely, sad? Is she hiding in some unknown corner, crying quietly?
