In the morning, the first rays of sunlight shine on the bed through the bedroom window. Huang Yan, who was sleeping on the floor of the bedroom, slowly opened his eyes. Sleeping on the floor was a habit he had developed in prison, even after years of being out of prison. A good friend asked him why he was still used to sleeping on the floor after so long. Huang Yan just smiled and said, this is fine, because this can make him always remember the mistakes he has made and remind himself not to make them again in the future.

Getting up with the sun rising is also a habit left over at that time. Huang Yan has always thought that this habit is very good, which allows him to cherish time more than others.

After waking up, Huang Yan put away the futon on the floor, put it neatly on the bed, and began physical training. Huang Yan specially renovated a gym at home. Barbells, dumbbells, sandbags, and almost all of the gym-related equipment are available. Not only at home, but also at his bar, where he works. Every morning for an hour of training, he insisted on it.

At the end of the training, in the bathroom, Huang Yan took a shower with cold water. Looking through the mirror, you can see that his muscular unicorn arm seems to have the power to crush everything. On the full pectoral muscles and knife-like abdominal muscles, the scars and scars all hinted at his unusual experience.

In front of the mirror, Huang Yan stared intently at a tattoo on his left chest that resembled the wings of an angel and a sickle. Years ago, this logo was a source of pride for him. At that time, he was still serving the country, and one after another criminals and murderers, as long as they were targeted, they would eventually be brought to justice. Two stab wounds to the chest and a gunshot wound to the shoulder, both of which were left at that time. For Huang Yan, this is his military merit medal. Huang Yan's thick back muscles are as smooth as ever, and that's because no matter on the battlefield or in action, he is a proof that he has never retreated.

If the tattoo on Huang's chest represents his former glory, then the tattoo on the right side of his abdomen is his shame and punishment for his impulsiveness. Huang Yan tattooed the four big characters "No. 1 in the Second District" under the scar on the right side of his abdomen. District 2 No. 1 is Huang Yan's former cell number. In front of the mirror, he stroked it with his hand, and the scene in prison appeared before his eyes like a movie replay.

After washing, I opened the wardrobe, and all the clothes were neatly hung in a row.

The wardrobe is a microcosm of a man's life. The neat arrangement shows Huang Yan's self-discipline in his own life. All clothes are in a set, whether it's casual sportswear or business suits. This is both a symbol of a man's taste and a reminder of the lack of a mistress in the house. A man is without another person by his side to guide him, so for them, the best choice when buying clothes is a suit. It saves you the trouble of thinking about how to match when choosing what to wear.

A white shirt, a sky blue casual suit, and a pair of brown casual leather shoes. When choosing a tie, Huang Yan hesitated. Today is a theatrical performance held by Sunflower Orphanage in return to those donors. In addition to being invited as a guest, Huang Yan also agreed to be the tuner of their show. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to dress too formally. In the end, he put the tie back in his hand.

In the underground parking lot, Huang Yan chose a black Honda car and drove towards the location of the show.

Traffic jams are a common pain for all office workers. Especially in a first-tier city like Beijing, it is time to go to work, and one car after another, like a turtle lying on the beach, slowly moves forward one by one.

"Ice, is there a more convenient and faster way?" Huang Yan in the car asked.

Ice, not a person, not a thing. To be more precise, it's a system. An intelligent network office butler system independently developed by Huang Yan Company. This system is installed in Huang Yan's watch. At present, this system is still in the testing stage, and only the three high-level leaders of China Aegis have the right to use it.

"Yes, boss, Ice is planning a route for you." Ice's cold computer harmonies could be heard from inside the car.

While planning a reasonable route for Huang Yan's next journey through cloud computing, Ice took the initiative to link the on-board system and his mobile phone communication equipment. The core of ICE that can be called an intelligent office butler system is that to a certain extent, it has autonomous awareness. Therefore, it is able to independently choose and engage in work that is beneficial to the master without the master's command.

Just a few seconds later, a deleted and planned navigation route has appeared on Huang Yan's car navigation. The final destination of the drive was a hotel outside the North 5th Ring Road. It is exactly where the Sunflower Orphanage is performed today.

"Boss, do you need me to confirm the equipment needed for today's performance?" Ice still spoke in harmony with her computer.

“OK！” As soon as Huang Yan's words fell, through Huang Yan's mobile phone WeChat, Ice had begun to confirm the situation of the performance equipment with each supplier.

Driving the car, Huang Yan went straight to the goal. Along the way, Ice kept commanding Huang Yan's voice.

"If you can get to the next intersection in forty-five seconds, you can wait one less red light."

"There is a small road in front of you that can only accommodate one car, and choosing it can shorten the journey by two minutes."

……

Under the guidance of Ice, Huang Yan soon came to the scene of the show. The speed along the way also attracted the parking side glances of one driver after another.

Before getting out of the car, Huang Yan said, thank you. He also joked, "Ice, why is the harmony sound from your computer simulation feminine?" Ice thought about it for a moment and replied in a serious way that maybe your boss thinks you need a woman by your side. In the end, it didn't forget to praise Huang Yan and said, your driving skills are very good, because according to calculations, few people can keep up with the rhythm of my command.

Sunflower Orphanage is a private orphanage funded by individuals. So far, it has been 15 years. At present, its main source of economic income is donations from caring people in the community. There are currently more than 150 children in this kindergarten.

The current director, Dean Liu, is the founder of the orphanage and the daughter of the first director. A few years ago, she gave up all her business and devoted herself to the operation of Sunflower.

Three years ago, Huang Yan accidentally learned about such an orphanage, and since then he has come here every weekend to volunteer. As long as he is in Beijing, even if things are busy, even if he only has an hour or two on the weekend, he will come here to visit the children in the orphanage. Huang Yan will donate to this orphanage every year, more than 100,000 yuan, and 20,000 or 30,000 yuan when it is less. Since Huang Yan came to this orphanage, they have received an anonymous donation of two million every year for three consecutive years.

When Huang Yan drove over, Dean Liu was already standing at the door of the hotel waiting. Seeing him coming, Dean Liu hurriedly greeted him.

Dean Liu went to greet him, not because of his annual donations. Dean Liu really likes Huang Yan from the bottom of his heart. In her ears, she often heard other people's gossip about Huang Yan. Everyone knows that Huang Yan opened a bar, some people say that he has been in prison, and some people privately say that Huang Yan is called "King Pingxi" in Taoism. Whether the rumors are true or not, Dean Liu is unwilling and too lazy to investigate. Because of what Huang Yan did in the orphanage, she saw it all.

"Xiao Huang, I'm going to work hard for you again today." Dean Liu said politely.

For today's performance, Dean Liu deliberately dyed his already gray hair black, and also deliberately wore a pair of glasses.

"Aunt Liu, you're polite." Huang Yan said and turned his head to look around and asked, "Have you sent all those audio equipment?" ”

"It's here, and it's been put in the performance venue." Dean Liu said as he took Huang Yan to the lounge.

This performance was specially organized by the orphanage to thank the donors. There aren't many staff at the orphanage, so everyone is busy, and many of them wear multiple hats. It stands to reason that Huang Yan, as a guest, should sit under the stage to watch the performance. It's just that they have too few people to keep busy, so Huang Yan volunteered to work as a tuner.

Huang Yan is not a professional tuner, but for a bar owner, tinkering with these things is no stranger to him. It's no hypogus to say that he is more professional than most professionals. Not only did he work as a sound mixer, but all the audio equipment used in this show was also sponsored by Huang Yan.

At the beginning of the show, every child who participated took the stage to perform their own special show. At the end of the show, during the backstage photo session, almost all the children wanted to dedicate the flowers they got in their hands to Huang Yan.

At lunchtime, Huang Yan did not stay to eat. He received a call from his good friend Tang Ming. Tang Ming was very anxious on the phone, and asked him to come to the hospital where he worked as soon as possible after the performance. After saying a hurried farewell to Dean Liu, Huang Yan, who had packed up his things, walked out of the hotel door.

"Mr. Huang—" A beautiful long-legged beauty suddenly stopped him behind Huang Yan.

"Mr. Huang, it's really you! Are you leaving so soon? Turning his head, Huang Yan saw that it was Miss Chen Yuanyuan, a beautiful teacher from Sunflower Orphanage, who greeted him.

Teacher Chen is from Taiwan, with white skin, beautiful long hair, and a voice that looks like Taiwan's beauty Lin Chiling. Not only does she speak like a voice, but her appearance is not inferior to our sister Chi Ling.

"Hello, Mr. Chen—" Huang Yan greeted politely.

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy this morning, so I haven't had time to say hello to you." Chen Yuanyuan stepped forward softly and gently.

"Actually, you don't have to be so polite." Huang Yan hurriedly replied.

"I haven't said thank you for those kids yet. Why don't you finish your meal and leave? As long as Chen Yuanyuan speaks, her voice can always reach everyone's bones. In the face of the temptation of beautiful women, if there is really something, Huang Yan may be really difficult to refuse.

While Chen Yuanyuan and Huang Yan were talking, another girl was striding towards them. Looking carefully, the visitor kept waving to Chen Yuanyuan while walking, but unfortunately she had been talking to Huang Yan intently, ignoring everything on this girl's side. waited until she passed behind Huang Yan, and patted Chen Yuanyuan on the shoulder with one hand.

"Hey, which handsome guy are you chatting with, so carried away, and you say hello so much and ignore me."

She has short hair, a white shirt on her upper body, and a pair of blue leggings underneath. Her sudden appearance startled Chen Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, why are you here?" As she spoke, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly remembered what she had just said, and turned her eyes to look at Huang Yan, her cheeks showing crimson.

"Oh, you're not welcome, I'm not here for you, I've brought all the videographers, and I'll do an interview with your orphanage in the afternoon, hoping to give you more donations next year!" The girl said.

Chen Yuanyuan hugged her and said thank you, then looked at Huang Yan and said, introduce you to each other.

"This is my hair small, and she is also my best friend, her name is Lu Lingling. But it's not Linglong, it's zero, one, two, and three, so in private, we all call her Yuanyuan, the circle of circles. Chen Yuanyuan turned to Landing Zero and said, "This is Huang Yan, Mr. Huang." ”

is different from Chen Yuanyuan, although they are all southern girls, from Lu Lingling's appearance to the present, it is difficult for you to see the gentleness and sweetness of southern girls in her. On the contrary, her ability and shrewdness give you a clear view.

Lu Lingling, who reacted, stared at Huang Yan in front of him fiercely and asked, "Your name is Huang Yan, and you are the owner of the No. 1 bar in District 2?" ”

"Yes—" Huang Yan said. Apparently he didn't expect this girl to know about herself.

"Is Mr. Huang so famous? Yuanyuan, you have only been in Beijing for a few days, and you even know Mr. Huang? Chen Yuanyuan looked at Lu Lingling and said in her unique baby voice.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't pay attention, when Lu Lingling saw Huang Yan, the smile on her face had disappeared, and it was replaced by a serious face. Huang Yan had already felt the unkindness in Lu Lingling's eyes, but in his memory, he didn't seem to know this girl, so he couldn't think of anything to offend her.

"You talk first, I have something to do, so I'm going to leave first." Huang Yan said.

"Okay, Mr. Huang, I'll treat you to dinner next time." Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly said.

Huang Yan didn't answer, turned around and walked away towards the place where he parked. If eyes could kill, Huang Yan believed that this girl who suddenly appeared would have already slashed him with a thousand knives.

It didn't take long for Lu Ling's three steps and two steps to catch up again. When Huang Yan was about to open the car door, Lu Lingling stopped in front of him.

"Have you ever been in jail?" Lu asked zero.

If there is a question, Huang Yan is unwilling to answer. Then this one is definitely one of them, and one of the most reluctant questions to answer. He looked at Lu Lingling, not understanding what she was going to do.

Blocking the car door, Lu Lingling looked at him directly, with a posture that if you don't answer my question, you will not want to leave today.

Huang Yan nodded at her, which was an answer to her question.

"Don't you bar owners like to harm simple girls? I warn you, stay away from Chen Yuanyuan. Don't think you're a mixed society, I'm afraid of you. ”

Huang Yan snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed Lu Lingling like a chicken, and moved her away from his car door.

"You think this is in Taiwan, and opening a bar is a mixed society." After speaking, Huang Yan drove away directly.

Seeing Huang Yan's departure, Lu Lingling originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

In the restaurant, Chen Yuanyuan and Lu Lingling found a seat by the window and sat down. Chen Yuanyuan originally wanted to ask Lu Lingling about Huang Yan. She really didn't expect that Lu Lingling would seem to know Huang Yan. However, seeing that Lu Lingling came back from the parking lot just now, she looked uneasy, and when she thought of her behavior when she saw Huang Yan, it seemed that there was some misunderstanding between them, so she didn't speak until now.

Lu Lingling and Chen Yuanyuan are small, and the two can be regarded as world friends. The relationship between the two families can be counted from their grandfather's generation. Their grandfather came from the same fishing village, grew up together, and later came to the big city to work together. The mothers of the two of them also grew up together and are good girlfriends. Later, Lu Lingling's mother married a Hong Kong man and worked as a lawyer. Chen Yuanyuan's mother married a shipyard owner. They got married in the same year, and the two families had two children at about the same time.

In fact, it can be seen from the names of the two of them that their two families have a close relationship. Yuanyuan was born two months earlier than Lu Lingling. When she was named Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Lingling's mother suddenly said that if she gave birth to a girl, she would be called Lu Yuanyuan. It's just that later everyone felt that the accent was the same and easy to mix, so in the end he named Lu Lingling. In the end, zero zero is still round.

Lu Lingling and Chen Yuanyuan, they are not sisters, but their relationship is better than sisters. They grew up together, and it wasn't until they were thirteen years old that Lu Lingling's parents went to Hong Kong and cut off contact with each other. Later, Yuanyuan's family changed, her mother died of illness, and her father remarried and went to the United States, leaving Chen Yuanyuan alone in Taiwan.

If Chen Yuanyuan was a lady of heaven before she was fifteen years old, living in heaven without worrying about food and clothing, then in the days after the age of fifteen, she fell into hell completely. The father remarried and went to the United States with all his possessions and his new wife. Chen Yuanyuan, who lives in Taiwan, does not even have the most basic living security. At first, she received a small amount of living expenses from her father every month. But half a year later, she had nothing. There is no school to go to, there is no place to live. At a young age, she couldn't find a job at all, so she had to secretly go to the bar at night to work as a waitress.

In a bar, Chen Yuanyuan was blocked in the bathroom by the owner of the bar after work. It can be regarded as God's mercy, and that day she happened to meet Lu Lingling's father who came to Taiwan on a business trip. If it weren't for Father Lu who rescued her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Chen Yuanyuan followed Lu's father to Hong Kong, Lu Lingling and his family learned what happened to her. Lu Lingling's parents wanted to keep her in Hong Kong, but Yuanyuan said that she was unwilling. She hopes that Father Lu can get back the alimony that originally belonged to her through legal means. In fact, there is a powerful soul hidden in Chen Yuanyuan's seemingly weak body.

How many people, under the appearance of weakness, hides a stoic heart.

At this time, Lu Lingling's father was not only a well-known lawyer in Hong Kong, but also had his own law firm. With their strength at that time, it was easy to send Chen Yuanyuan and Lu Lingling to study in the United States. The whole family hopes that Yuanyuan will stay, after all, with them, she can enjoy a better education and working environment.

Yuanyuan still politely declined the kindness of the Zero Zero family. In the end, under Lu's father's arrangement, she got the alimony that belonged to her, and was taken care of by a welfare home in Taiwan until she became an adult.

also studying in the United States, unlike Lu Lingling, Chen Yuanyuan has always relied on herself. All the complaints of people are just because they are not strong enough. This sentence was said by Chen Yuanyuan when she first met Lu Lingling in the United States.

Chen Yuanyuan, who finished her studies, came to the mainland. She started out as a translator for a foreign company in Beijing. Perhaps because of her own experience of living in a welfare home, she often volunteered in orphanages during her work. Three years ago, Chen Yuanyuan's father died of illness in the United States, and she successfully inherited the property and business in her father's name. After having a rich material foundation, Yuanyuan completely quit her job and began to devote herself to the education work of the orphanage. At Sunflower Orphanage, she is both an English teacher and a part-time teacher of music and painting.

"She's the same Mr. Huang you always mention to me?" Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect Lu Lingling to be the first to mention Huang Yan.

"yes!" At the dinner table, Yuanyuan poured a cup of tea for Zero, and then asked tentatively, "Do you also know Mr. Huang?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard some rumors about him." Zero Zero shook his head and said, "Do you know that he opened a bar, and did you forget what happened to you in the Taipei bar before?" He's really not a good guy. ”

"Actually, Mr. Huang is not what you think, he is different from those people......"

Before Yuanyuan could continue to finish, Zero Zero had already interrupted her. She held Yuanyuan's right hand and said, hoping she wouldn't be stupid. According to what she knew, Huang Yan not only opened a bar, but also went to prison. She really wants Yuanyuan to find a reliable boyfriend, not a gangster in this kind of society.

For Yuanyuan, Zero Zero is her best friend, and they almost talked about it before. Five years ago, Lu Lingling was going to marry his boyfriend in the United States. No one expected the sudden bad news that her boyfriend had been killed in a hotel in China. For two years, Lu Lingling did not contact anyone except his parents. It was only in the last two years that they had re-established contact.

Zero's boyfriend is called Pan Yue, and his mother is the CEO of a listed company. Pan Yue is not tall, and in Yuanyuan's opinion, he is a typical chunky file type. However, Zero Zero loves his boyfriend very much. Yuanyuan didn't know what Zero liked about him. However, Yuanyuan's dislike of him is not due to Pan Yue's appearance, but because of his pair of squinting eyes. Every time they met, Yuanyuan always felt that Pan Yue's eyes were always mixed with some evil thoughts when she looked at her.

She didn't understand why Zero Zero liked Pan Yue, just like now she didn't understand why Zero Zero had such a big prejudice against Huang Yan.

The matter of Huang Yan being in prison was something that Yuanyuan had heard others mention for a long time. Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

Chen Yuanyuan still remembers the first time they met. At that time, she had just arrived in Beijing, and she would come to Sunflower Orphanage every weekend to volunteer, cooking for students and doing laundry. Suddenly, one weekend, the teacher who was in charge of designing and printing the leaflets of the Sunflower Orphanage was temporarily unable to come. Dean Liu asked everyone anxiously, who will design? Yuan Yuan was the only one in the entire orphanage who raised her hand.

Together with Dean Liu, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening when Yuanyuan finished designing and printing the promotional color pages of the Sunflower Orphanage. In the city of Beijing in winter, it is absolutely cold and biting at night. When all the workers were off work and Yuanyuan finished packing the printed color pages, another problem arose. Looking at the piles of coloring pages on the ground, how could her delicate body bring these back to the orphanage, although the two places were only two or three hundred meters apart. But for Chen Yuanyuan and the elderly Dean Liu, it is already a big project.

borrowed a small cart, and Yuanyuan could only carry it slowly, little by little. The car, very small. There are very few color pages on the car, only four or five packs at a time. When they pushed out the door, there was still something wrong with the small cart with four or five packs of coloring pages. I don't know if it's because they don't set it up well enough, or because they push the cart, but just after they went out of the door, all the packed color pages fell to the ground.

Chen Yuanyuan, who had long been unable to take care of her image, hurriedly put away the car and rearranged and packed up the color pages. At this time, Huang Yan suddenly appeared in front of her.

"This is a coloring page from the orphanage?" Huang Yan asked, holding one of the color pages.

"Yes! We have to take all of this back to the orphanage today, and there are many more. Chen Yuanyuan answered Huang Yan's question while hurriedly cleaning up.

didn't speak, Huang Yan quickly squatted on the ground and began to help them clean up, and then reloaded the car one after another. Everything was packed up, and just as Chen Yuanyuan was about to continue pushing the cart, Huang Yan had already taken the lead. At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan remembered and hurriedly said thank you.

"You, lead the way. Otherwise, how would I know how to get there and where to put it? Looking at Chen Yuanyuan, who was already a little dizzy, Huang Yan said calmly.

Yuanyuan replied yes, but she was still feeling a little embarrassed because of her rudeness just now.

Carrying these color pages, in front of the sturdy Huang Yan, everything is a matter of a blink of an eye.

Looking at the finished color pages, Chen Yuanyuan's heart also relaxed. When she handed the drink to Huang Yan's hand, she realized that she didn't know when his coat was also stained because of carrying the color pages.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Otherwise, you can put your clothes here with me, and I'll help you clean them up tomorrow!" ”

"It's okay." Huang Yan then asked, "Do you only accept donations here, and do you need volunteers?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan took out a pen from the desk, wrote a phone number on a sticky note and handed it to Huang Yan's hand.

"You can call us Director Zhang." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Taking the sticky note, Huang Yan folded it and put it in his pocket and turned away. At that moment, I don't know why, Chen Yuanyuan's heart suddenly felt a little more lost. It wasn't until much later that she suddenly understood why.

Chen Yuanyuan has never lacked boys around her, whether in the company or in daily life. Because of her beauty, she is the center and the focus wherever she goes. She can see in the eyes of others, whether it is admiration, or admiration, or jealousy, or greedy eyes. Only in Huang Yan's eyes, she didn't see anything.

Since then, almost every weekend, Huang Yan has come to the orphanage to help. He is very patient with every child in the orphanage. Every time I come over, I bring all kinds of gifts to the children, teach them to play football, and play with the children. He even remembered every child's birthday. Whenever the children had their birthdays, Huang Di would personally make a cake for them. Depending on the child's preference, the cake is different for each child.

While eating, Yuanyuan told Zero Zero what it was like to know Huang Yan in the past three years.

Prejudice is a very strange thing. Once prejudice is formed in people's minds, it is difficult to convince them. Yuanyuan didn't know why Zero Zero was so prejudiced against Huang Yan, maybe it was because she cared too much about herself, Yuanyuan thought so in her heart. She believes that in the future, there will be time to understand Huang Yan.

"You know I'm always surrounded by all kinds of men. Even now, many men say they are here to volunteer, but in fact, many of them come for the purpose of dating me. Only Mr. Huang is here, and he really cares about these homeless children. Although he is not like some rich people who can donate so much money to the orphanage, as long as it is within his ability, as long as it is for the good of the orphanage, he has always done it silently without regrets. ”

Lu Lingling didn't interrupt Chen Yuanyuan this time, because she knew her best friend too well. On the surface, Wenwen seems to be weak, but in fact, she has always been a very assertive person in her heart.

Looking back, Lu Lingling thought about it carefully, since Huang Yan knew his best friend, maybe it would be a good thing for him. The more you know about Huang Yan, the more beneficial it will be for you to do next.

After eating, Lu Lingling took the photographer to visit Dean Liu and then said goodbye and returned to Taiwan. She wants to get the interview and the news out as soon as possible. In fact, she also wants to do her part for the orphanage.
