A trace of sadness flashed on Xia Qing's face, and then asked, "Sister Miao, Gao Chao told me some things about the group, do you have any good suggestions over there?" I really don't want my father to build a group single-handedly, so ......"

"If the bank continues to put pressure on Mingyuan, and the current management can't think of any good way to deal with it, this may be an opportunity for you." Sister Miao took a sip of tea and said lightly, observing the expression on Xia Qing's face as she spoke.

Xia Qing and I are also thinking about the layer that Sister Miao said, but is Xia Lang and the current management really at the end of the mountain?

The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the huge Mingyuan Group will not be poor in donkey skills, right?

Not only Xia Qing can't believe it, but I, an outsider who doesn't know much about business operations and doesn't know much about Mingyuan, shouldn't have reached this point with Mingyuan Group at the helm of Xia Lang?

Seeing Xia Qing frowning and thinking while listening, Sister Miao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "If Tianqing is willing to go back to Mingyuan Group, I can think of a way here." ”

Xia Qing didn't have much change in expression on her face, but I seemed more excited than her, I was anxious to hear what Sister Miao said, what was the way to make Xia Qing return to the Mingyuan Group, but I noticed that Xia Qing seemed very hesitant.

"Thank you Sister Miao for looking up to me so much, but this matter ...... I want to think again. Xia Qing thought for a moment and then said to Sister Miao.

"It's okay, after all, it's not a trivial matter, you are thinking about it, we are all taking a look, I hope Mingyuan Group can get through this current difficulty!"

After Sister Miao finished speaking, she got up and patted Zhao Xiaolong, who was sitting on the side and buried her head in changing PPT, and signaled that she was about to leave.

Sister Miao was about to settle the bill, and I said Sister Miao I had already settled. I thought about it, it was Sister Miao who bought the bill last time, so this time I took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom and bought the bill in advance.

Sister Miao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Thank you Xiao Gao for supporting my business, you can come to this café often in the future!" ”

"Oh? Sister Miao is...... The boss here? I asked with a smile.

"That's right, but the boss also has to talk about the rules, and the boss has to pay." Sister Miao smiled and said, "In the future, you can often bring your friends over, and you can get a discount by reporting my name." ”

"This can have ...... However, we usually go out to talk about things in cafes or something, and we don't have many people, so we don't rent any office space. Xia Qing added with a smile.

"Oh? Don't have a place to work? This is easy to do! Xiaolong, they have now moved to our cultural and creative park with the team, you can also go to see where the sky is, if you think it's good, you can also move to the office! ”

"That's okay, then we'll thank Sister Miao in advance!" Xia Qing said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Gao, I don't care about the formalities, and then Xiaolong will prepare the contract and the like, and you can communicate directly when the time comes."

After Sister Miao finished speaking, she waved to me and Xia Qing, sat down in the Audi A8L parked at the door and left.

Seeing that Sister Miao's car was far away, Xia Qing and I turned around and went back to the café to sit down, and before Xia Qing sat down, I couldn't help but ask: "Tianqing, about letting you return to Mingyuan Group, Sister Miao just said that she was willing to help, why didn't you agree?" Don't you want to go back? ”

Xia Qing took a sip of tea and saw that I couldn't wait to ask her, but she just shook her head and didn't answer.

Seeing that Xia Qing didn't seem to be in a good mood, I continued: "You know a little bit about the situation on the Mingyuan Group's side now, what a good opportunity this is!" Do you want the business founded by Uncle Xia to be destroyed in the hands of Xia Lang? ”

Xia Qing didn't seem to hear my question, and kept looking out the window with her chin upright, looking preoccupied.

After a long time, she turned her head and looked at me. Her eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't let them fall.

I don't know what Xia Qing was thinking, but looking at her like this, I guess I thought of my deceased father, so I couldn't say anything more.

After all, this matter, in the final analysis, is still a family affair of Xia Qing!

The two of us were silent, each thinking about our own thoughts, and sat without saying a word for a long time.

When it was almost time for dinner, Xia Qing finally came back to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the expression on her face became a little more lively: "Gao Chao, accompany me to a place?" ”

"Okay!" I smiled and agreed without saying a word, "You say, where are you going?" ”

"Go, you'll know! Let's go, you drive! ”

Xia Qing said as she threw the car keys into my hand.

After getting in the car, Xia Qing didn't say where to go, but when I arrived at an intersection, she instructed me to turn left and right.

As I drove, I peeked at Xia Qing sitting in the passenger seat from time to time. I thought to myself, she won't take me to some inappropriate place, right? Do you want to be drunk again like last time?

I thought of some intimate scenes with Xia Qing in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a little impulsive in my heart, but I saw Xia Qing sitting in the car with no expression on her face, just looking out the window and thinking about her thoughts.

Guided by the sunny summer, we finally stopped in front of an old amusement park in the heart of Dragon City.

This amusement park is an old attraction in Dragon City, which used to be lively, but now it looks desolate and dilapidated.

It used to be bustling with activity, but with the construction of more modern playgrounds, it has become deserted and dilapidated.

For example, I've been here many times, but I've never been there.

Walking into the amusement park, you can see many old men and women dancing square dances, dancing to songs such as "You are my little apple".

I frowned and looked around, wondering why Xia Qing wanted to bring me to such a place? Is it because you want to watch the square dance aunt?

Xia Qing walked unhurriedly in front, looking very interested, and I didn't want to spoil the fun, so I followed and walked here.

Walking through the main entrance, passing a shallow pool of green algae and passing a few bushes full of garbage, a children's play area suddenly appears in front of you.

It's just that the business of this children's playground area seems to be somewhat bleak, the merry-go-round is crooked, the colorful bumper cars are also rusty, an old man selling sugar gourds is sitting happily on the stone steps on the side of the road and napping, and in the distance is a Ferris wheel that is only ten meters high that is slowly turning......

"Gao Chao, I want to eat rock sugar gourd!" Xia Qing suddenly turned her head and said.

"Okay......" I took out my wallet, walked to the old man who sold rock sugar gourds and bought two, the old man looked very surprised, I didn't expect there to be business at this time.

I saw that the old man was dressed shabby, thinking that a rock sugar gourd only cost six yuan, I felt some pity in my heart, and I didn't ask him to find my change, so I was saving character.

Seeing me coming back with a rock sugar gourd, Xia Qing's face instantly brightened, and a child-like smile was filled between her eyebrows.

She took a rock sugar gourd from my hand, took a sip, and crunched it.

"Like a child!" I said with a smile.

"Coming here, it really feels like going back to when I was a child......" Xia Qing said slowly while licking the rock sugar gourd in her hand with her tongue: "You know what, Gao Chao? The last time I came here was more than ten years ago, with my dad and my brother, I remember when I was in elementary school. It's nice to think about back then. ”

I heard Xia Qing say this, and I realized that the reason why she took me to this shabby place was because of nostalgia.

Presumably, there are many memories of a sunny childhood here.

While walking beside Xia Qing, I listened to her intermittent chatting about the past between her and her father Xia Mingyuan, as well as her "younger brother" Xia Lang.

Most of the stories in Xia Qing are very good, and time washes away those unpleasant fragments.

Listening to Xia Qing talk about the past, I finally understood why Xia Qing hesitated when I heard Sister Miao's suggestion just now.

She is a kind girl, and she can't bear to see her father's hard work ruined, but she doesn't want to embarrass her "younger brother" too much from the bottom of her heart.

After all, they used to be a family, but now they have become so raw, even tense confrontation.

"Gao Chao, after my father died, I once thought about leaving here and leaving this place that made me sad, but I still have a lot of reluctance in my heart...... That's why I stayed. ”

After Xia Qing finished speaking, she looked into the distance fixedly, and the expression on her face looked very solemn.

"Tianqing, there is something I said that you may feel uncomfortable, but I think I still have to say it!" I glanced at Xia Qing and continued: "Maybe in the deepest part of your heart, you still see Xia Lang as a younger brother, but it seems that Xia Lang doesn't think so. ”

Xia Qing listened to me and nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

"Mingyuan is a business founded by your father, do you really want to see it destroyed in Xia Lang's hands? According to what I have learned during this time, Xia Lang's mind is not in the Mingyuan Group at all, but as long as he has a little effort, the situation will not be as bad as it is now! ”

Xia Qing listened to me, sighed and said, "I have heard a little bit about the situation over there in Xia Lang. But this matter, you still let me think about it, unless it is a last resort, I don't want to completely tear my face with Xia Lang. You may not believe me when I say that, but I really hope that Xia Lang can get through this on his own. ”

"What if Xia Lang can't bring the Mingyuan Group back to life? Can you bear to watch the business founded by Uncle Xia collapse with a bang? I asked.

"If it does, I think - I'm not going to sit idly by!" Xia Qing said slowly: "However, I don't want this to really happen!" ”

Looking at Xia Qing, who had a melancholy face, I mustered up the courage to take her hand and said, "Tianqing, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!" But please don't be sad about it, okay? ”

Summer Qing's cold little hand was grabbed by me, and I wanted to retract it at first, but she was held tightly by me, so I didn't say anything more, and let me hold her hand tightly, walking in the amusement park in the darkening night......

Xia Qing's little hand gradually became warm in my palm, and after walking hand in hand for a while, I gradually let go of my boldness and wanted to pull Xia Qing in my arms.

Xia Qing suddenly pulled her hand out of my palm, and then pretended to be angry and smiled: "Gao Chao, you are not allowed to inch in!" ”

Yes, the atmosphere that was originally very good was beaten back to its original shape by Xia Qing again!

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I can't think about the relationship between me and Xia Qing more and more.

We're friends? Colleague? Leadership? Or is it just a partner?

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't open my mouth......

"Gao Chao, accompany me to ride the Ferris wheel!" When she walked in front of the tattered Ferris wheel, Xia Qing suddenly spoke.

"We're all so old? Still sitting on this? I said a little reluctantly, but seeing Xia Qing looking at me expectantly, I immediately relented, "Okay, it's just that this Ferris wheel looks so small, not to mention the Ferris wheel, it looks like a waterwheel!" ”

"Please, this Ferris wheel used to be one of the symbols of Dragon City, but the tall buildings have been getting older and older in the past two years!" Sunny in summer.

Fortunately, the aunt who sold tickets in front of the Ferris wheel was still there, and I took out the money to buy two tickets, which I felt a little embarrassed because the aunt was looking at the two of us with very strange eyes.

I guess my aunt is curious, and the two of us adults are here to sit on children's things.

Auntie turned on the switch of the Ferris wheel, the rusty Ferris wheel creaked and began to turn, I pulled Xia Qing into the car, and then the Ferris wheel staggered and began to turn upward.

"We're not going to be able to sit down on this thing, are we?" I sat in the car and asked, a little distraught.

"What? Are you scared? Xia Qing asked with a smile.

"No, it's not...... I'm just a little, a little afraid of heights! I said tremblingly, and then leaned my body against Xia Qing's body.

Hearing me say that I was actually afraid of heights, Xia Qing smiled so much that the flowers trembled, and the shaking of the Ferris wheel became more violent, and I looked at the ground under my feet getting farther and farther away from us, and my hands clutched the railing tightly.

"This thing doesn't look that tall, huh? How does it feel high to sit on it? Haven't you reached the top yet? I asked with my eyes closed.

"Don't worry, you can't fall!" Xia Qing said with a smile, her body leaned towards me, originally this Ferris wheel car was designed for children, and the two of us adults really looked a little cramped sitting in it.

It was a little uncomfortable to sit squeezed, so I stretched out my arm and took Xia Qing in my arms, Xia Qing's body resisted a little, but in the end he obediently rested his head on my shoulder, and then held my hand tightly.

Finally...... The Ferris wheel climbed to the top floor trembling like an old man, and the scenery in front of him became open, and you could see the night of Dragon City in the distance.

"Quick, make a wish!" Xia Qing said, then closed her eyes reverently, and said something in her mouth.

"I've watched too many Korean dramas, right? Can you make a wish for anything? Shooting stars streak across the sky to make a wish? Can you make a wish by sitting on a small Ferris wheel? I muttered.

"Don't be verbose!" Xia Qing pinched my hand and said.

I let out an "oh" and closed my eyes, but what did I wish for?

"May there be peace in the world?"
