The old house of the dead is empty, and there are lotus peanuts.

Jiang Zhili called Jiang Chen and told him that Jiang Heng had gone.

Of course, on the phone he said, "Your brother is gone." ”

For Jiang Heng, the half-brother, Jiang Chen was not much touched in his heart, but in the end, because he had met once, what he saw was not a high-spirited heir to a wealthy family, but a patient with little time.

Weak, humble, and polite.

This is Jiang Chen's complete summary of what Jiang Heng knows.

He remembered the first time he went back to Jiang Zhili's house, Jiang Heng supported him to see him, and gave him a meeting gift, and he never opened the box.

Nowadays, the giver of the gift is gone.

Jiang Chen opened the box, and it was not a luxury object, but a diary and a relief.

The relief is very exquisite, the twelve hairpins of Jinling carved on the wood, the characters are still lifelike.

opened the diary, and it recorded some of Jiang Heng's usual thoughts and feelings.

"I know that my life is destined to be arranged, I don't like architecture majors at all, I like to do carving, but my father doesn't allow it, because I have to inherit the family business in the future and be responsible for the development of the Yanjing yard, so I can't do what I want to do."

"I'm sick, but I'm so happy, finally I don't have to be urged and dominated every day, I can do nothing, I can finally read books every day, carve something I've always wanted to do, if it's to exchange the last days of my life for the freedom I yearn for, I think it's worth it."

"Dad tried his best to treat me, found a lot of well-known doctors at home and abroad, he is much older and haggard than before, I think he also loves me, but I think he cares more about interests than the family industry."

"I heard today that I have a younger brother whom I have never met, we are half-brothers, and my father was very happy when he learned that there was another son who was left behind, and I don't know if his joy was because he liked this son very much, or because there was a successor."

"It's been almost two years, I'm now living on money, every day is very painful, now I can't even pick up a book, my consciousness is a little unclear, I don't know how long I've stayed on this page of records, my brother who has never met has never been able to go home, I think, he must also be a person who likes freedom, I don't know if I and he can see each other."

The contents of the notebook are recorded here, and there is no more later, maybe Jiang Heng can't write it because of the pain of being tortured by the disease in the later period, this diary, in general, didn't write much, but what was written in it is estimated that it is true.

Jiang Chen didn't expect that Jiang Heng would be such a person, with his favorite things, but because of his background, he couldn't do it, and then did what his family wanted him to do all day long, he knew very well what kind of role he was playing, so he didn't resist.

From the diary, I learned that this relief was carved by Jiang Heng himself, Jiang Chen felt that he carved it really well, you can imagine how he did what he liked in the last two years of his life, and how seriously he did it.

Now that he is gone, it is okay, if people really have reincarnation, then I hope that in the next life he can do what he wants to do, become the person he wants to be, unrestrained and free.

Jiang Chen's phone rang again, it was Jiang Yi calling.

"Brother, can you come back, Mom is sick, Dad is not in a good situation, since my brother went, Dad can't slow down, I don't want the eldest uncle and second uncle to help take care of my brother's funeral, can you come back and help me deal with it?" Jiang Yi spoke with a crying voice, the loss of relatives was already very sad, and her parents were sick again.

Jiang Yiqiang refused the help of her relatives, she didn't want people to think that no one at home could support the stall, but she was helpless herself, so she called Jiang Chen.

This is difficult for people to refuse, especially Jiang Heng and him do not have a deep hatred, Jiang Chen went back to Jiang's house.

When he returned home, it was Jiang Zhili's special assistant who was helping Jiang Yi deal with the aftermath, he saw Jiang Chen coming back, and said sadly: "Little boy, you are back, Jiang Dong may not be able to accept the death of the eldest prince for a while, the whole person seems to have lost his spirit, and he fell ill all of a sudden, don't look at the eldest prince who has been so sick for two years, but this departure is too big a blow to them, after all, this is a white-haired person sending a black-haired person." ”

Jiang Chen and Jiang Yi cooked together and arranged the mourning hall.

Jiang Heng's body has been placed in the ice coffin, it may have been treated with makeup, it looks fine, there is no painful expression on his face, there is a feeling of relief, maybe he has wanted to leave a long time ago, but his family has been hanging his life to keep him alive.

Jiang Yi kept crying, she felt that there would be no one to protect her in this world in the future, and she would be the only one left.

If she is bullied in the future, there will be no brother to stand up for her.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Chen, this half-brother was very cold, she almost didn't dare to talk to him, and then cried even more fiercely.

At night, he guarded with Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi never stopped crying, and his eyes were already swollen from crying.

"I can understand how sad you are, but it's a relief for him." He handed a tissue to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Chen, there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and he stopped talking.

It's strange to say that Jiang Chen has always had a bad impression of Jiang Zhili and Luo Lan, but he has a better impression of Jiang Heng and Jiang Yi, two siblings.

Jiang Heng doesn't need to narrate, Jiang Yi is the kind of girl who is well raised, polite, mild-tempered, and well-behaved, maybe this is also cultivated according to the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, after all, the person she will marry in the future is not an ordinary person.

The old man came to the mourning hall and felt a little relieved to see Jiang Chen there.

"Grandpa." Jiang Yi came over to support the old man.

Jiang Chen moved a chair for him.

"Xiao Heng is gone, what are you going to do, come back early and take over the family's industry." The old man said to Jiang Chen.

"Grandpa, can't we wait until his affairs are all dealt with?" The body is still in the mourning hall, and the old man has already begun to urge Jiang Chen to take over the family business, didn't he take Jiang Heng to heart at all? This is his grandson, who has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, although people die like lights going out, but people's bones are not cold.

"There's nothing to say, you come back early to take over, and adapt as soon as possible, your dad may not be as energetic as before after Xiao Heng's affairs, Yanjing Yard is my hard work, your uncle and uncle are not good at architectural design, so it was handed over to your father at the beginning, and then Xiao Heng also participated in the development and management for a few years, and now the most important thing is to have someone who can afford this industry."

"Your industry is very important, but people are equally important, Jiang Heng also participated, and now his body is lying here, you say these things in front of him, although he can't hear it, but you are too cold-blooded and inhumane."

"Little master, be cautious when you speak, don't be disrespectful." The butler reminded.

The old man looked at Jiang Chen, no one dared to talk to him like this.

The family is all around him, obeying him, and obeying him, but this kid actually dares to directly say that he is cold-blooded and inhumane, which is very good, and no one has refuted him for a long time.

"Do you have a good relationship with Xiao Heng?" They had never been in contact, and the old man didn't know why Jiang Chen's maintenance of Jiang Heng was.

"I don't have anything to do with him, I just don't think this is the place to talk about the family business."

"Okay, I'll go see your father, do you want to come along?" The old man did not continue to talk about this topic, he got up and wanted to leave.

"No, no."

Jiang Chen didn't go, but the old man didn't insist, so he went to see it himself.

"Thank you for defending my brother." Jiang Yi watched the old man leave and thanked Jiang Chen.

"In this family, sometimes it's very cold."

is very indifferent, but this may be the price of being a child of a wealthy family.

When the material conditions are fully affluent, the spiritual gain will be very small.

On the day of Jiang Heng's burial, most of the Jiang family came, and Jiang Zhili really seemed to have been drained of his spirit, he looked older than before, and he was still supported by an assistant.

Luo Lan couldn't afford to be sick directly and did not appear at the funeral.

After the burial was completed, people left one after another, and finally Jiang Zhili was left sitting in front of the tombstone and refused to leave.

He removed the bouquet in front of the tombstone and put on the things that Jiang Heng loved to eat before his death.

"Xiao Heng, if you go over there and lack something, you will give your father a dream."

"Also, Dad bought you a set of carving tools, you must like it very much."

Jiang Chen looked at him like this and felt that he was pitiful and hateful.

Why should we show the care we should have after death?

A man dies like a lamp goes out, and all thoughts turn to ashes.

It's useless to buy anything, the biggest role is just to soothe the regrets in the hearts of the living, and those who leave leave with regrets.

**

Jiang Chen has gone back to Jiang's house to deal with Jiang Heng's funeral affairs in the past few days, and Lu Mingqiao is busy with the affairs of Qiao Yiqiao's platform.

After the products of Hills and Pet Heart were put on the shelves, they did bring a wave of traffic.

And then after the convergence of various pet brands, the popularity of the platform has also opened, and now there are hundreds of thousands of transactions every day.

This number cannot be compared with a very large treasure, the turnover of a treasure on a non-holiday day is more than 200 million, if you catch up with 618, double 11, basically break 10 billion.

Therefore, Qiao Yiqiao can currently achieve this daily sales, which is already quite good.

But we can't just be satisfied with this, and this performance can't help but be beaten, and we still have to mention it again.

On this day, Lu Mingqiao met a brand in a high-end café, and the other party didn't like to go to the company to talk, so he found a more elegant place.

The brand of Fuen is also a leader in domestic brands, and it has always insisted on supermarket sales, no online sales, and no advertising, which is quite individual.

However, now it is estimated that I can't hold on, and I am very passive by online sales, so I found Qiao Yiqiao.

This time, Lu Mingqiao came out, mainly for consultation, and the person in charge asked not only a lot of questions, but also very detailed.

Lu Mingqiao explained in detail to the person in charge of Fuen the advantages of online sales, as well as the current mainstream form of selling.

The person in charge of Fuen was very cautious, she asked after listening to Lu Mingqiao's introduction: "But there are too many brands on Qiao Yiqiao's platform, although Fuen does not advertise, but for more than ten years, the product quality is very good, and it is also a relatively well-known brand in China. ”

"You see you yourself said, more than ten years, what does more than ten years mean? As early as two thousand and a few years ago, everyone didn't even recognize a certain treasure, and dared to place an order when they couldn't touch it, was it crazy? But you see now, everyone wants to buy something to open a certain treasure, has relied on this software, online sales have changed the way of selling goods, so that the same product can be bought by people from all over the world, rather than limited to the local area. After 2010, self-media began to rise again, this time changing reading habits, traditional paper media declined, after 2015, short videos, live broadcasts began to rise again, creating a lot of selling legends, so, the times are changing, nothing is immutable, to conform to the times, in order to develop. ”

"Although there are many brands on Qiao Yiqiao, because it is a platform for integrating resources, everyone knows that there are many pet brands on it, so they will be willing to buy things on this platform."

"And besides, young people rarely go out to shop now, especially in supermarkets, as far as office workers like me are concerned, buying daily necessities are ordered online and delivered directly to home, saving them to carry, and they are quite heavy to carry back, to be honest, I haven't been to the supermarket this year, but there are many people like me, and everyone basically buys them from the Internet."

"Well, let's think about it." Fuen's head said.

"It's good that the brand has its own insistence, and it's been around for more than ten years, only focusing on the product itself, which is even more rare, such a good brand, should develop for a long time, if it weren't for the business problem, I think Fuen shouldn't find us, if you want to be good, we will not let you down."

"Okay, thank you Miss Lu for answering my questions endlessly, and I will respond to the boss all the questions we talked about today."

Lu Mingqiao sent the person in charge of Fuen out, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Ning who came out of another private room, and he also sent the customer out.

It was quite unexpected for the two of them to meet here.

Lu Mingqiao didn't intend to pay attention to Lin Ning, she packed her things and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lin Ning stopped Lu Mingqiao at the door.

"Is there something wrong?"

"At the old man's birthday banquet, you framed me!"

"Miss Lin, don't be so boring, okay?" Lu Mingqiao said.

"Bored? I obviously didn't push you, but you pretended to fall down by yourself, so that others mistakenly thought that I pushed you, you are really vicious! ”

"Then you said that I framed you, did you lose anything? Has anyone scolded you? Someone how's it to you? Aren't you standing in front of me now? ”

"Lu Mingqiao! You've deceived people so much! Lin Ning said, raising his hand and wanting to fan people.

Lu Mingqiao's eyes were quick, he stopped her hand, pushed her again, and said, "If that's the case, I'll report the patrol." ”

"I'm going to settle accounts with you today!" Lin Ning straightened his body, looking like he was going to fight.

"Miss Lin, to be honest, when I first met you, I thought you were very good, knowledgeable, excellent, and from a superior background, but now I don't envy you at all, you have so many good things, you don't make your pattern atmospheric, you are now very much like a shrew."

"Who are you talking about as a shrew?! Don't think that if you give the old man a cat, you will get rid of him, I tell you, he will not stand on your side! ”

"Yes, yes, he doesn't stand on my side, he stands on your side, he likes you more, and you will be his granddaughter-in-law in the future, okay?" Lu Mingqiao picked up the bag, turned around and left, and didn't have time to talk nonsense with her.

"You know you're not going to let go? Jiang Chen and I are destined to get married! ”

"So what? He doesn't love you. ”

"Hmph, your face can confuse him for a while, but you can't confuse him for a lifetime, and you also have times when you are old and decrepit! Then he will get tired of you and forget about you! ”

Lu Mingqiao turned around and said solemnly: "You are wrong Lin Ning, what I gave him is by no means only this face, what I gave him, you can't give it, if our identities are reversed, you are in my position, you can't do it to him like me, I can tell you with certainty, even if we are not together in the future, no woman can replace me." ”

Lu Mingqiao has already left this café, and Lin Ning has not left yet.

She went back to the private room and sat down for a while, she was very strong from childhood to adulthood, and there was almost nothing she couldn't do as long as she wanted to.

Among the daughters and celebrities, those who have studied to her level can be said to be really excellent.

And there is no delicate lady in general, staying up late to do projects is the norm, and she never complains.

But after she ran into Jiang Chen, she couldn't make a few shots.

Now he is trampled on his dignity by a woman who is inferior to him in any way.

Therefore, I can't swallow this breath in my heart, and I grabbed Jiang Chen, not only because I like it, but also because she can't afford to lose at all, there is no loss in her life dictionary, only win.

The face lost at the birthday banquet has been quietly spread in the upper circles, and she is bound to get back the lost dignity.

Wait, Lu Mingqiao, there will be a time for you to cry soon.

On the way back to the company, Lu Mingqiao kept thinking about what Lin Ning said, they were destined to get married.

Scold! Doomed? Who was destined for it?

The actors have been replaced when they start to enter the group, and when there is no result, who can say for sure?

Lin Ning's words have no effect on her, she is not trapped in love, she is not confused, she is a necessary quality for a qualified middle-aged person, and only after managing herself can she have the energy to take care of others.

Back at the company, Xu Huihui said to Lu Mingqiao: "Sister Qiao, Mr. Wang, they don't cooperate with us. ”

"Huh?" This surprised Lu Mingqiao.

"Why? Have they found a new avenue to work with? ”

"Well, it is said that Liang Can found it."

"They still believe her? It's also absolute, did you ask what channel it is? ”

"I asked, I didn't say it, the god is mysterious, and I said that it must be better than Qiao Yiqiao."
