The crisis of the GDI Group continued to ferment, and the entire county was boiling.

The county morning post, on behalf of the official attitude, was the first to speak, condemning Guangtou's bullying behavior in stern terms, and at the same time implicitly criticizing the collusion between officials and businessmen in small towns to bully and dominate the market.

Immediately afterwards, local TV stations and provincial newspapers reprinted and spoke out one after another, and they were criticized and criticized, and the Guangtou Group was on the cusp of public opinion, like a boat surrounded by a storm, crumbling.

For a time, the streets and alleys of the county town, about how Guangtou developed, how it operated, how to collude with local forces as the evil party, and all kinds of rights and wrongs became the topic of discussion after dinner.

Under the pressure of public opinion, all the businesses under the GDI Group are in a state of suspension.

All the members of the skinhead organization collectively silenced and avoided the various media that flocked to them.

The group's senior executives have also disappeared en masse, and government officials who have been associated with the GDI Group have also tried every means to draw a line with them and strive to protect themselves.

The building will fall, and Guangtou will be at the end of the road, and there is a tendency for trees to fall and macaques to disperse.

During the two days I was stranded in the county, I witnessed the embarrassment of the GDI Group being chased and intercepted by the media.

With the overwhelming amount of negative news about the CGI Group filling every corner of the town, it's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be for a company to become the target of media hunting.

The bald head has once again become a local celebrity.

Regarding his statement, the neighbors combined all kinds of reports, and after adding oil and vinegar, the original star entrepreneur was transformed into an out-and-out legend of evil and evil, a demon with three heads and six arms, teeth and claws.

The media and the saliva of the people are enough to destroy all the dark forces, and even have the momentum to uproot the GDI Group, such a power can't help but make me feel emotional, and at the same time, as a businessman, in the face of the huge contrast between the GDI Group falling from heaven to hell in an instant due to the guidance of public opinion, I can't help but chill down my spine.

Guangtou's encounter stemmed from the irrationality of the military advisor.

I can't help but think of what happened to me when I was framed by the Moon Design.

However, I was blessed by misfortune and met Lin Xueer by mistake.

Experience teaches.

I stayed in the best hotel in the county on this business trip, with strict security, and I don't have to worry about any peach-colored traps designed for me by ill-intentioned people.

The hotel environment is clean and there are not many people staying at it.

One morning, I was sitting in the hotel café drinking tea.

Suddenly, I received a call from Ah Hong, and after greeting each other politely, and confirming that I was in the county seat, she said that she wanted to come to the hotel to meet me.

We haven't been in touch for a long time, and the politeness between each other has widened the distance between us.

At the same time, I was surprised to receive a call from her asking to meet.

I could hear her phone call in a serious and tired tone.

I guessed that the Guangtou Group incident should have a great impact on her family during this time.

Ah Hong took the initiative to contact me, and made it clear that there was something very important to discuss with me, which was a reason that could not be refused, although I wanted to avoid her all the time, thinking of her current situation, I couldn't bear it, so I agreed with her to meet in the hotel café.

The hotel café is quiet, and through the windows of the upper floors of the hotel, you can see the street view of half of the county.

On the bustling street, people walk calmly, bathed in the warm spring sun, quiet and leisurely.

The wind outside is not strong, but the breeze will also roll up the dead leaves falling on the ground from time to time and blow them away, like a fairy scattering flowers, adding a lonely mood to the early spring.

Although it was said that the matter was urgent, Ah Hong was still late.

I waited about two hours for the coffee I ordered to finish before she showed up in the lobby of the hotel.

She walked straight up to me.

She hadn't seen her in months, and she looked thin and emaciated.

The well-painted makeup could not hide her lonely look.

She placed her bag on the table and beckoned to the waiter.

I asked for a cup of black tea, and then sat quietly across from me, drinking tea slowly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Silence is the norm after every meeting we meet.

wanted to complain, but they were speechless.

We all know to each other that time has pulled a sad distance between each other.

The Yellow House has been separated for ten years.

The unexpected encounter after graduation to the current series of changes, suspicions, and indescribable interests are entangled.

We can no longer find the pleasant feeling of having no guesses and nothing to talk about during the Yellow House period.

Since the separation of the Guangtou Building, I have not contacted Ah Hong.

She looked around the hotel, and finally her gaze stayed on me, and said softly with a little resentment: "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Such an opening statement made me a little embarrassed.

Seeing my embarrassment, she immediately laughed at herself.

"Forget it, if you have something, it's useless to tell me, isn't it."

I stopped talking, and thought to myself, "Yes, what's the point of telling you about my business?" ”

"What have you been up to lately?" , Maybe it was the peaceful environment of the hotel café that made Ah Hong slowly regain her composure, she glanced at me and asked softly.

"Me? I'm busy. I was pondering my words, and at the same time I was thinking about the purpose of her question, and I was thinking about whether to tell her about the launch of the great country's ambition real estate.

"I heard you're back in Beijing? Have been working in Beijing all this time? She said something strange.

"Yes, go back to Beijing to research the market, and do something else by the way." I replied ambiguously, and it seemed that she had been keeping an eye on my dynamics.

"How's the situation with Da Zhifu?" She didn't ask me about my trip to Beijing, but changed the subject and asked about the mining farm.

"Is the Dazhifu Mining Farm okay?"

"It's good, it's operating normally, I've been back for a few days, and I've been living in the county seat just to help Dazhi deal with the mining farm." , I replied.

"Actually, I came to you today to return the money I borrowed from you Dazhifu."

I looked at her in amazement, barely believing what she said.

However, Ah Hong's determined expression showed that she was serious.

I just reacted to why she changed the subject, but I was confused about her true intention to pay back the money.

"What does that mean?"

"Test me?"

"Or do you really have to pay it back?"

The subtle emotion on my face did not escape Ah Hong's sharp eyes.

She looked at my expression and smiled, her smile was ugly.

"I know, some time ago, you must have looked down on me because of this incident."

"I didn't." , I said softly, very sincerely, "You must have your difficulties in borrowing money." Knowing what she has been doing for me and the Dazhifu mining farm in the past, I feel more and more sad.

"I called Dazhi yesterday, after all, the three million was handed over to me by him personally, and I wanted to return it to him, but he told me that you are in the county."

As she spoke, she took a bank card out of her bag and handed it to me.

Hong's explanation dispelled my doubts about her calling me to meet me.

It turned out that she had contacted Dazhi before, and I was still wondering how she could know my itinerary and come to the hotel to find me accurately.

"Actually, three million is not very useful to us at the moment, if you need it, use it." , I have always felt indebted to Ah Hong, especially after seeing the blacklist jointly formulated by the County Development and Reform Commission and the Guangzhou Investment Company, knowing that Ah Hong borrowed money in disguise to help Dazhifu, I felt even more unhappy.

It turned out that the misunderstanding that she was immersed in business and asked for bribes for the sake of profit made me feel even more sad.

"Do you know why I'm borrowing your money?" She didn't respond to my reply and asked me rhetorically.

"I know a little bit, is it about blacklists?" , I know a limited amount, so I answered honestly.

"It seems that you know, there are many things that you may figure out later, so I don't need to say more." She nodded, it seems that her behavior shows that the blacklist situation is true, which also verifies my and Dazhi's previous inference.

Her trust in me and her understanding of her past behavior made me uneasy.

In fact, what did Ah Hong go through and what did she do for me? How can I know more about it?

Even what she's doing in the business of the mining farm, I only scratch the surface, right? ”

"You have done so much for Dazhifu, the money is what you deserve, you can use it." I pushed the bank card to her again.

"Actually, I borrowed your money, and it was indeed used, I invested in a small hotel in the south, and the project is now running normally, I should thank you for your funding today, without the money you borrowed, I can't do it." The money I borrowed from you was indeed used for my own private investment. Ah Hong said, glanced at me, blushing, as if the secret in her heart had been exposed by someone else.

"The money has served two purposes, and it should be returned to you now, and it is useless to put me here."

She pushed the card to me again, this time with a resolute expression.

"Thank you for lending me money, I've already deposited the interest due for this time in my card."

"I'm going to quit my job after a while and go to the south to run my hotel."

Ah Hong's words made me a little sad, and I knew what she meant beyond her words. had no choice but to accept the money she returned.

"Ah Hong----", I wanted to say but stopped.

She looked at me with a look of loneliness.

"Guangtou's matter won't affect you, right?" I knew I shouldn't have asked, but I couldn't hold back.

"What do you think?" She asked me rhetorically, with a complicated expression on her face.

I kind of regret asking such a low-level question, even if Ah Hong herself is fine, her family is sure that there is a problem, how can it not affect her?

Hong sighed.

"Alas, in fact, it has a really big impact on me, but with this incident, I am almost completely liberated."

I didn't understand what she meant.

She saw my confusion.

"Actually, my marriage with him has long been in name only, and as soon as the matter of Guangtou comes out, it is a good thing for me, because in this case, we should be able to complete the divorce procedures this week."

"Are you going to get a divorce?" Her words surprised me.

"Yes, it's not a way to drag on this matter, he agreed a few days ago, and I'll finish the formalities this week and I'll be liberated."

The gloomy expression on Ah Hong's face gradually relaxed.

Divorce is a long-awaited thing for her.

"I never loved him at all, fortunately, there was no drag on the divorce, and after the divorce, things were done neatly, and I went to the south alone."

She seems to be looking forward to a new life.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, thank you and Dazhi again for lending me money."

"By the way, I still need to explain one thing to you, that is, about the three million brothers and sisters, that money has nothing to do with me, it is a bribe from my husband through Xiaowei, the reason why I mentioned this to Dazhi at the beginning is also to let you have a mental preparation, I have planned to borrow money from you from the beginning, because I know the output value of your mining farm, you can help me with this favor, I don't want to find anyone else, because I take the matter of you borrowing my money as a private matter between friends, I am in a city, I don't have any other friends, I hope you can understand, I am going to tell you about the matter between Xiaowei and my husband without reservation, just so that you don't have misunderstandings, and I completely treat you as a friend! ”

"You see, with your help, my future is settled."

I looked at her expression of excitement for the future like a little girl, but my heart was very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Ah Hong, I'm sorry." I kind of don't know what to say.

This time it was her turn to be inexplicable.

She glared at me and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you sorry for me? ”

"I know, in fact, it should be me who hurt you the most, I am a cowardly, inferior and irresponsible man, I don't deserve you to be so good to me, everything you have now, if it is caused by me, I'm really sorry." I bowed my head, and the thing she mentioned to me about the three million good mining farms of my brothers, and her unreserved trusting attitude, made me ashamed, and I should confess to her about my previous villainous opinion.

"Giggles", Ah Hong listened to my words and smiled.

"You don't have to say sorry to me, do you know, if you say you're sorry, it can only show your hypocrisy and hypocrisy, in fact, the matter between the two of us has already ended in the Yellow Building, and there is a little episode in front of you, which is just my delusion. Do you understand? ”

I knew what she was talking about and nodded.

"Ah Hong, no matter what you think, I still think you are an excellent woman, I don't deserve you, I have loved you, I really like family..."

"Oh, don't say it, you love me, you love me, if you really love me, are you willing to drop everything and go to the south with me?"

Her tone was aggressive.

I was defeated under her gaze. She didn't let me finish, I still had to express that I loved her like family, which is completely different from love.

"You shouldn't love me, do you know, the last time you were arrested in the county seat, it was requested by me and Xuan, Xuan arranged the bureau of the military division, the purpose is to stink you, make you worthless, Sven sweeps the floor, now I tell you, do you still love me? You should hate me. She began to cry as she spoke.

"You also asked me about Guangtou, whether it had any impact on me, I told you, this matter is the only thing they have to do with me, you can sue me, sue me for slandering you, you go!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and tears rained down.

I was a little flustered.

After looking around, he stood up and patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah Hong, don't cry, I don't blame you, and I don't hate you, really."

"Get out!"

"You don't hate me, I hate you!"

She shook off my hand vigorously, stood up, and ran out crying.

I watched her run out of control and slump in her chair.

It feels like a thousand arrows piercing my heart and hurting my heart.
