113. The heart is like a knife

After listening to me, Xia Qing sighed and frowned: "This matter is not as simple as imagined. ”

I thought to myself that what Xia Qing said was right, but for Xia Qing, this matter at least pushed things forward a big step, so she comforted: "It's not easy to do anything, you still have to think about the good, right?" ”

Xia Qing nodded and agreed with my words, but after being silent for a while, she was still full of worry and said: "Gao Chao, the next things on the side of the investment company will all depend on you, and I am afraid that I will not be able to divide my energy for a long time in the future." ”

I nodded and agreed, and then told me about the progress of the 10 million project and the phone communication with Feng Yasong just now.

After listening to Xia Qing, she didn't say much, just told me to look at the arrangement.

Seeing that Xia Qing looked worried, I didn't have a good time asking about what I said on the phone that day, thinking that many times many things would just go with the flow.

Thinking of this, the haze in my heart has also dissipated a lot, and I went back to the room to lie down and sleep, but it was a sweet sleep.

In the next two days, Xia Qing got up early and returned late every day, I didn't ask, but it is estimated that she has been working with the Tiandu team preparing to acquire the Mingyuan project in the past few days, and I spent most of my time in Zhao Xiaolong's office, and participated in the preliminary preparations for the tens of millions of projects with Xiang Mengmeng.

The "10 million" app was originally planned to be launched this month, but since Xiang Mengmeng joined the team, he has proposed a lot of modifications and adjustments, so the launch time can only be postponed.

For this, the people in Zhao Xiaolong's team complained a little, but in order for the project to be an instant hit, everyone finally agreed with the modifications proposed to Meng Meng.

After all, in this new team, whether it is Bruce Chao or his programmers and product managers, many of their initial ideas are still taken for granted.

Xiang Mengmeng has been in the second-hand housing market for several years, and she is the sales sister of the largest second-hand housing brokerage company in Longcheng, so although some of the opinions she put forward are not fancy, and even some anti-Internet traditional concepts, most of them are still very pertinent.

For example, Xiang Mengmeng proposed to add the function of one-click access to customer service and taking guests to see the house, and everyone had more opinions.

According to Zhao Xiaolong's previous thoughts, if it can be solved online, don't increase offline personnel and costs.

However, Xiang Mengmeng's suggestion is that "everything should be based on the actual needs of customers".

According to Xiang Mengmeng's suggestion, it is bound to increase the labor cost of customer service and real estate consultants, and this cost is not easy to estimate at the beginning.

Everyone understands reasoning, but there is still a long way to go to turn an idea into reality.

After countless discussions, adjustments, meetings, and overtime and staying up late, the requirements for the beta version of thousands of rooms were finally determined.

These days, I have participated in some of their meetings, but most of the time I just listen, I don't want to affect Xiang Mengmeng's thinking because of myself, after all, this operation and maintenance team will be dominated by her in the future.

After working for a period of time, Xiang Mengmeng also began to really integrate into the team, and there were gradually fewer times of disputes, and more often he patiently explained and communicated with the people on Zhao Xiaolong's side.

Xiang Mengmeng's charm is invincible, and a few times I noticed that the eyes of those IT men looking at Meng Meng are like looking at goddesses, which makes me faintly feel a little jealous.

These days, Xiang Mengmeng seems to have forgotten what we said a few days ago, and every time she meets me, she looks like she is businesslike, and she doesn't deliberately get close.

Even, I feel that Xiang Mengmeng is a little angry with me, and some deliberately alienated.

I can feel this change to Xiang Mengmeng, but I can't say anything, since I can't give people promises, then stay away.

Otherwise, in the end, you may not even have to be friends, just like me and Xiaobai!

……

Speaking of Xiaobai, since the last time we separated, I haven't seen her again, and she hasn't taken the initiative to find me or call, looking through her circle of friends, she looks quite happy, and the pictures and texts she posted in her circle of friends are all related to eating.

I called Liu Youpeng once and asked about the situation of the new store, and he told me that it was very good, no one came to make trouble again, and the turnover rate of the new store was getting better and better, "Brother Gao, do you think we are going to open another branch?" It's starting to line up like the shops on Financial Street again. ”

"Don't worry, let's take a closer look?" I smiled and comforted the happy guy and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" ”

However, I am still happy for Liu Youpeng in my heart, after all, there are so many restaurants in Longcheng, but there are not many stores that can queue up every day, and more stores are only slightly profitable, and almost more than thirty percent of the stores choose to close their doors directly every year.

The catering business is actually not easy to do, it is easy to get started, but it is even more difficult to do a good job, or even to make a fire!

"By the way, Youpeng, I'll tell you a place, you can go eat and eat when you change the sky, the owner of that shop has done a good job of barbecue! Maybe you can work together in the future! "I suddenly remembered the barbecue I ate at Uncle Neng's that day, and gave Liu Youpeng an way.

"Lao Gao, don't change the day, just today! How about tonight? I've got to keep an eye on the store until 10 o'clock! It just so happens that I have something to ask you. Liu Youpeng said.

I pondered the time, it just so happened that there were not many things in the past two days, Xia Qing didn't ask me for help, Feng Yasong was busy dealing with the preliminary preparations for the release of the movie all day long, and Xiang Mengmeng was deliberately alienating me...... A man without a girl, I said, "Okay, I'll see you tonight, and I'll send you the address later!" ”

In the evening, according to the time, when I hurried over, Liu Youpeng was already there, and when he saw me arrive, he waved to me, and Liu Youpeng had already ordered food to eat.

"Lao Gao, this boss's craftsmanship is really good! The materials are also very particular! Liu Youpeng said a little embarrassed: "I happened to be hungry, so I didn't wait for you, I ate some first!" ”

When Uncle Neng saw me coming, he smiled at me and nodded, as if he said hello, I accosted Uncle Neng a few words, ordered some food, and then sat down and said to Liu Youpeng: "This boss is a strange person!" ”

"What's the odd law?" Liu Youpeng hurriedly asked, he has always been interested in research and attention to his peers, and it can be regarded as doing a line of love.

Seeing Liu Youpeng ask, I also told me a rough overview of the events of that day, Liu Youpeng nodded disapprovingly after listening to it, and then opened another bottle of beer and drank half a bottle.

After drinking, Liu Youpeng said with a smile: "The ingredients used by this boss are very particular, you know that the ingredients used in our industry are a big part of the cost, I just tasted the squid and scallops grilled by this boss, and I feel very fresh, which is rare in general barbecue stalls!" No wonder business is good! ”

"I can't eat this, I just think the boss is good, the craftsmanship is good, and I really can't look at the ingredients or anything." I smiled and touched the bottle with Liu Youpeng, and then took a sip, but Liu Youpeng blew most of the bottle in one gulp.

"I said, Youpeng doesn't drink in the store or what? Why did you drink it here? Drink slowly! "I saw that Liu Youpeng had three bottles of beer at his feet, and wondered if he had something on his mind, I had never seen him drink like this before.

While eating and chatting and drinking, Liu Youpeng's round face turned red after a while, and he touched the bottle with his tongue with me, and then whispered to me a little embarrassed: "Lao Gao, let me tell you something!" Don't laugh at me! ”

"What's so embarrassing about you if you have something to say and fart quickly? Did you encounter something in the store? Still want to open a new store and lack money? I laughed.

I am a more well-known friend with Liu Youpeng, and I am not afraid of offending him.

"That...... I like someone, I really can't find anyone to talk to these days, so I'll talk to you, and you can help me come up with ideas? Liu Youpeng said with a blushing face, looking a little embarrassed.

"Who? Such a blessing! I laughed.

Actually, when I heard Liu Youpeng say "I like someone", I couldn't help but twitch in my heart, I guess he was talking about Xiaobai, who else could it be besides Xiaobai?

Originally, I wanted to ask Liu Youpeng about Xiaobai's situation, but before I could speak, he spoke, "Xiaobai." ”

Sure enough, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart, but in the face of a sincere smile, it was obviously Liu Youpeng, who was in love, but I didn't know what to say for a while, so as not to be embarrassed, I quickly picked up the wine bottle and drank most of it in one go, and after putting down the bottle, my mood stabilized a little and said: "Xiaobai is good, you told her?" How did she react? ”

"I, I just don't know how to open my mouth, that's why I asked you! Lao Gao, you know her well, do you think she will like me? The parents are so beautiful and capable, I, I'm afraid that others won't look down on me! Liu Youpeng was obviously fascinated by Xiaobai, and he chattered for a long time, but I didn't listen to a word.

"Lao Gao, the first time I saw her, I liked it. Do you remember? I also asked if you were your girlfriend and you said no. I made up my mind that if she was single, I would chase her down. But these days, except for chatting during work meetings, I basically haven't looked for her at other times. Liu Youpeng said with a depressed face, he was immersed in unrequited love.

"Youpeng, Xiaobai is a good girl......" I said, in fact, my heart was in a mess, Liu Youpeng asked me to discuss how to chase Xiaobai, but I felt in my heart that if I suggested, Xiaobai might really leave me from now on.

"I know, Lao Gao, that's why I'm so entangled! I'm afraid that if I say something wrong or do something wrong, it will hurt people. Xiaobai, so beautiful, so well-behaved, so good, I sometimes feel that I don't deserve her at all. Lao Gao, you said, if I confess to her, I won't be rejected by her, right? Liu Youpeng asked with a worried face.

"Youpeng, you are also very good, as long as you sincerely like her, I think you should tell her......" I said insincerely, but it was not a good feeling in my heart, I was pushing Xiaobai out.

However, is it really possible for me to be with Xiaobai? If you're with Xiaobai? What about sunny summers? What about Xiang Mengmeng? They're all good, but I can only pick one!

Suddenly remembered Xiaobai's sad and reluctant eyes when he parted with me that day, I felt that I was really a bastard, why did I bother in the first place?

Thinking of this, I picked up the bottle, touched it lightly with Liu Youpeng, and then drank the wine in the bottle with my neck up.

Two men, each with their own hearts, a bottle for you, a bottle for me, and a dozen bottles of wine will soon be gone, but Liu Youpeng and I didn't vomit.

Liu Youpeng pulled me and babbled about Xiaobai's various goodness, I said in my heart how good Xiaobai is, I know better than you, but I can't say it.

If I say it, I'm really hurting Xiaobai!

It can be seen that Liu Youpeng really likes Xiaobai, what about me? What can I give to Xiaobai? Suddenly I envy the ancients, they can have three wives and four concubines, and they can be very fraternal! I couldn't help but laugh at myself, no wonder so many people have to travel back to ancient times.

After three rounds of drinking, the cups and plates are messy, Liu Youpeng can't find the north after a little drinking, but the more I drink, the more sober I become.

Liu Youpeng was talking while drinking, constantly talking about Xiaobai's various goodness, saying that he admired Xiaobai, and said that he was worried that he would be rejected by Xiaobai.

But I still envy Liu Youpeng, at least he dares to say it, unlike me who doesn't even dare to say it, and I'm afraid that Liu Youpeng will know the clues between me and Xiaobai from my words.

When your brother tells you that he likes the person you like, what do you do? It's a bit of a stretch, but that's what I'm facing!

Do I want to tell Liu Youpeng about myself and Xiaobai? Or is it just a forever secret? Do I want to persuade Liu Youpeng to pluck up courage? Or simply dismiss him?

I suddenly felt distressed, as if I had been stabbed with a knife, I had never hurt so much......
