Europe, a small town with beautiful scenery.
In a small building with a unique style, Bai Jinxuan stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the empty street below, looking a little tired.
With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A woman in her twenties came in and said, "Jin Xuan, I cooked you some white porridge." Eat a little, don't go hungry. β
Bai Jinxuan turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly, "He Li, how long are you going to keep me?" β
He Li smiled bitterly, "Jin Xuan, Mr. Qin personally spoke, let you recuperate here for a while, we are just part-time workers, whatever the boss says, do what you do." β
"It turned out to be Mr. Qin."
Bai Jinxuan thought of the man who was usually kind and kind, but he didn't feel too angry in his heart, Mr. Qin was undoubtedly a businessman. She just didn't expect that he would be so decisive and give orders so quickly, not giving her time to react at all.
Originally, according to the plan, she was going to another country to participate in a variety show on a certain tour, but halfway through, she lied to her that she wanted to change flights, and in an unguarded situation, she was sent here, and her mobile phone and passport were also taken away.
Now, she is in a foreign country, and she doesn't understand the language, and she doesn't know where to run if she wants to. I can't talk about the outside world. She didn't care about anything else, she was worried that after Chen Xu saw the news, she couldn't wait for a reply after adding her, and there would be some misunderstanding.
She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The more trustworthy people, such as Fang Fang and a few other assistants, all had temporary affairs and did not follow. Now that I think about it, it must be Mr. Qin's hands and feet.
She asked, "What about Director Shao?" β
He Li glanced back at the outside of the house and whispered, "I heard that Director Shao went to have a big fight with Mr. Qin, and then was transferred by Mr. Qin, and no longer cares about the artist." β
"You can rest here in peace, in two days, President Qin will come to see you in person."
Bai Jinxuan saw that she was leaving, took her hand, and whispered, "Can you borrow your mobile phone to use it?" β
He Li sighed and said, "Before I came up, my phone was taken away. I really can't help. You should eat a little bit of this porridge, not to mention anything else, you can fight with them when you are full. β
With that, she left.
The door closed again, Bai Jinxuan couldn't think about it, sat on the chair, and looked at the pot of white porridge and two side dishes.
After a while, she walked over, filled a bowl of porridge, and ate it. She knew that she couldn't completely count on Aunt Shao. After all, you have to rely on yourself. He Li is right, if you don't eat enough, where can you fight with Mr. Qin's people.
The contradiction between her and Mr. Qin, when it comes to breaking the sky, is only about interests. As long as Mr. Qin wants to make money from her, everything has to be discussed. Although her chips are pitiful, there is one thing, she has the ability to lift the table, as long as she shows her determination, Mr. Qin will not go too far.
She thought as she gulped down a bowl of porridge and then filled another bowl.

May 1st, fine.
Chen Xu stood on the side of the road, looking at the pedestrians around him.
"This place is good, the rent is not expensive, the most important thing is that there is no transfer fee, and you can sign a contract for a few years, where did you find it?" Old Tang walked out of a shop behind him, and he was amazed.
Chen Xu turned his head and said with a smile, "I entrusted several intermediaries, and one of them called me in the middle of the night and said that there was a good place." I came over to take a look, listened to the conditions, and immediately signed the contract. β
"Then you're picking up a big bargain." Old Tang sighed, "The location here is better than your first store, and the faΓ§ade is bigger, as long as you redecorate it, after opening, it will ensure that business is prosperous." β
Chen Xu said, "The most important thing is that this is not far from the first store. β
Old Tang said, "However, it stands to reason that such a place should not be rented out." How did you get bumped into it? β
"I heard that the last tenant here was a scoundrel, and he had delayed the rent for a year, and he couldn't get rid of it, as if he was involved in the crime, and the landlord couldn't do anything about him. It happened to be a crime sweep, and I was caught two days ago, and the landlord took the store back, and I wanted to rent it out quickly, so I ran into it. β
Chen Xu explained the cause and effect, "The landlord said that the rent can be negotiated, but you have to pay two years' rent first. I guess I'm scared. β
"I see. It seems that you are also starting to run from time to time. Old Tang said, seeing him staring at the car on the road, and asked, "Why, you don't seem to be very happy." β
Chen Xu took out a pack of cigarettes, handed over one, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and said, "I just think it's a bit too coincidental." β
"Too coincidental?" Old Tang used to be a big addict to smoking, in order to give birth to a child, he quit, after the child was born, he occasionally smoked one, and every time he smoked, his movements and expressions were extremely cherished.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." β
The two stood in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, quietly finishing a cigarette.
After a while, Old Tang asked, "How are you going to decorate?" β
"I think the decoration of the last store is good, exquisite and simple, just follow that style."
Chen Xu already had an idea in his heart, "The female college student who subleased to me studied design, I asked her, and the decoration of that store was designed by her......"
While talking, a red blue bird stopped on the side of the road, and a young girl walked down and greeted them, "Chen Xu, Tang Wenhai, I'm sorry, I'm late." β
"It's early for us." Chen Xu smiled, "The store is over there, I'll take you to have a look." β
The girl's name is Xu Xiaoxiao, she looks sweet, compared with a few months ago, there have been great changes, whether it is dressing style and makeup, it can be clearly seen that a young college girl has changed to a young and fashionable urban girl.
"Chen Xu, I really can't see that you are so good at doing business, it's only been a few months, and you're about to open a branch." Xu Xiaoxiao sighed as she walked, "We can't do it, the same store is half-dead in our hands, and we have to vomit blood." β
Chen Xu said, "You just don't have experience. β
"Forget it, after this incident, I can see clearly that I don't have the mind to do business at all. Let's work honestly. β
Chen Xu asked casually, "Which company do you work in now?" β
"Shangyun Design."
Old Tang said in surprise, "That's the highest-paying design company in the industry, and I heard that the competition is very fierce." β
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled, "You have also heard of our company? β
"My wife used to study design, but then she changed careers." Old Tang said.
"I see."
While the three of them were talking, they had already entered the store, Xu Xiaoxiao began to look at the store, and said, "The location and layout here are very good. The rent is certainly not cheap. β
"Okay."
"Then I'll get started." Xu Xiaoxiao took out a ruler and measured the pavement.
"Then let's go outside and smoke a cigarette." Chen Xu said, and took Lao Tang to the place where he was smoking just now. One person lit one.
He asked, "What is the origin of Shangyun design?" β
"A design company with a very high level and a strong relationship. I have cooperated with many large companies, and the company headquarters was renovated two years ago, and they were asked to design it. β
Chen Xu asked again, "What's their boss's surname?" β
"The surname is Wen, it's a woman, it's very powerful. It is said that the student of a certain architectural design master in the United States later returned to China to start a business and quickly became famous. β
Chen Xu asked, "Then she's not young." β
"I guess it's about forty, in this industry, it's already very young." Old Tang said, "What are you doing with these?" β
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I thought it was an acquaintance of mine, it seems that I made a mistake." β
When Old Tang saw him say this, he didn't ask much, glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was busy in the store, and said, "How do I think, she seems to have a little meaning for you." β
"You can't talk nonsense." Chen Xu said, subconsciously frowning.
Old Tang smiled and didn't continue the topic, "In the past few days, you have been picking up Mr. Luo from work, right?" β
"Well, she's afraid I'll be gossiped about, so she won't let me go up."
"If you don't go up, others will be able to guess. In the past few days, Mr. Luo has been leaving a few minutes early, and then everyone is there to discuss the two of you. β
Chen Xu smiled, "I didn't say anything too ugly." β
"No one will say that kind of thing in front of everyone. Privately, there will definitely be. You, taking such a big advantage, don't allow others to gossip? Let me tell you, you're about to become the male enemy of the whole building. If you dare to show affection to Mr. Luo in public, maybe someone will secretly stab your villain. β
Chen Xu could imagine what they would say.
He had a classmate in college who had a crush on a girl in high school, and in his junior year, he suddenly realized that the girl had been with a boy he didn't look up to before, and his mentality collapsed on the spot.
According to the words of that classmate, no matter who she was with, he would not have such a big reaction, but a boy he looked down on, that feeling was worse than being fed a mouthful of.
Chen Xu thinks that most of the people in the company are in a similar mood.
He asked about the company's recent situation, "How is the cooperation with Fang Dong now?" β
"Didn't Mr. Luo tell you?"
"I was with her and never talked about work." Chen Xu said that he had eaten with her these days, and the conversations were all about dreams. They all have some incomprehension about each other, and after chatting, it suddenly dawned on them that it was interesting to help each other think like this.
Lao Tang said, "It's almost done, and in about half a month, it will be officially launched." When the time comes, it will definitely be busy. β
Chen Xu thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, at that time, the noodle restaurant in my branch was almost open, and it happened to be busy. β
The two chatted for a while, the sun began to rise, the weather was too hot, and they ran back to the store.
It just so happened that Xu Xiaoxiao had some decoration things to ask him, so they sat together and discussed.
Before you know it, it's noon.
"Let's go, let's eat." Chen Xu said, "What do you want to eat?" β
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "You can make up your mind, I can do it." β
Old Tang also said, "It's okay." β
"Then let's go to the restaurant opposite, I heard that the environment is good." Chen Xu said and stood up, "You go first, I'll wait for my girlfriend to come over." β
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay." "I went with Old Tang first.
