When Ah Dong called Chu Li, he was sorting out the account books. After repeated confirmations, Chu Rong made a profit. Liaobu's electronics factory fixtures, battery factory scaffolding fasteners, and the test fixtures introduced to Yang Hua in Li Wansheng earned 100,000 yuan in the first three months of the first half of the year. This is still under the premise of deducting the wages of Chun, Wu Siying and the two workers who borrowed to help.

That's a great start.

Chu Li took 20,000 from 100,000 li and gave 10,000 to Sun Ning and 10,000 to Yang Hua. Both of them resolutely refused to accept it, and Sun Ning specially rushed to tell Chu Li to make the accounts clear. Profits can't be given in this way. Chu Li said that whoever brought the order should naturally pay the commission. In this regard, Sun Ning is obviously more thoughtful. "The contract should be signed. As a salesman relationship, this allows the commission to be withdrawn normally. ”

Ah Dong invited Yang Hua, Sun Ning, and Chu Li to gather at the newly opened Hong Kong-style restaurant. Ah Dong doesn't seem to have changed, and he hasn't become sharp because he has regained his power. Speech is always focused as much as possible on polite words such as shushing the cold and asking for warmth. Miao Yan sat next to Chu Li, looking like she had regained her figure, and the sweet price of nurturing her little life, gaining weight, was vulnerable in front of her self-disciplined living habits. While others were chatting about work, she took out her mobile phone to show Chu Li her child. Chu Li has never had much concept of children, maybe he thinks that he will eventually grow old alone, but when he saw Xiao Adong's dark and round eyes in the photo, fat little hands like lotus roots, and breastfed swimming rings on his belly, he was still hit by the cute appearance of his inner expectation of home, and a man's dream of reproduction that has not faded for tens of thousands of years. If he and Chen Sineng had achieved positive results, the child would have been more than three years old. The topic of the wonderful words is difficult to bypass Xiao Adong, showing maternal tenderness, and finally bypassing Chu Li's personal problems.

"Have you contacted Chen Si?"

Chu Li nodded. "Can't be reached."

"You don't have her contact information?"

"I only have a phone, I can't get through."

"Weibo? Don't you play Weibo? ”

Chu Li shook his head.

"What about WeChat? Do you have her WeChat? “

I've heard Wu Siying talk about WeChat before, and it seems that everyone is starting to use this thing now. "I don't have WeChat. If she wants to contact me, she will. Since there isn't, there must be her reasons. ”

"Do you want to find out?"

"Know what? She? Chu Li hesitated, this was the topic he wanted to escape the most. He felt like his body and mind were split in half, half trying to get rid of the past, away from the past that struggled in memories, lost in insomnia, unrealistic fantasies, happy but painful past. The other half can't hold back her strong desires, how is she now? Married? Gone abroad? With Johnson? Happy and happy? Is it still possible? When Miaoyan stretched out the mobile phone screen, it was like pointing a gun at himself, and he didn't have any ability to resist at all, Chu Li glanced at the Weibo homepage called "Si", which was a bit like QQ space, but the articles posted had a string of @ symbols, but he still saw that she forwarded a lot of photos of articles related to Italy, and Miaoyan skillfully pulled down, and the articles on the screen could be refreshed all the time, so that she could see her previous articles. There are several photos of children's clothes in a row, and a few pieces of cosmetics. Chu Li nodded, and his heart turned upside down. This is the first time since she left to peek into her life so closely, even if she is sitting at the door of her house in Yichang, it is far away from this. Maybe it's having a baby...... I must be very happy.

Chu Li's hand trembled violently, as if he was so hungry that he panicked and couldn't control it, he put it under the tablecloth and tried to hide it, but his expression was already betrayed. Miao Yan immediately put away the phone, exited the program, and did not mention Chen Si during the whole banquet.

It wasn't until Ah Dong asked if he was willing to go back to TMK that Chu Li came back to his senses. But he had been away from the topic for too long, and he couldn't find Adong's intentions, so he frankly replied that he now had a small plus workshop and wanted to continue doing it. Ah Dong smiled and said, "If you want to come back, you can come back at any time." ”

This intriguing invitation didn't cause any ripples in Chu Li's heart, he was just happy that he was making a comeback. He returned to Carter's command and was still in charge of the project. When asked Yang Hua about the layoffs, Adong did not shy away from it, and said frankly that this would be the norm in the future, or he would need to slowly adapt to the rapidly changing environment. Although Chu Li was present, Ah Dong also said a lot about the future development trend without reservation. Chu Li sighed that in the two years since he left, the city has changed the Great King Banner, many people have already left, and many people have gained power. Not only was he affected by the Weibo incident, he could no longer fit into the conversation, but just hoped for an early end.

After eating, Xiang Yang Hua insisted on taking him to a place, which was an open-air market, full of small shops buying clothes, and he saw Huang Jing holding a month-old child and sitting in front of a store. Xiang Yang Hua proudly said to him: "This is what we opened." “

The small shop is only a dozen square meters, and it is densely packed with all kinds of clothes, which look good in texture but are affordable. "I took these goods directly from the garment factory in Humen. Huang Jing has resigned, she only needs to look at the store here on weekdays, and my mother has come to help. “

"Congratulations, it's not easy."

"I've always wanted to have my own storefront. It's just right here, it's not too big, it's too big for me to take care of. Huang Jing's hair was cut very short, her face became fuller, and like Fan Ming, she was always smiling. Wu Siying is still right - this is what happiness looks like. Chu Li suddenly remembered Duan Wen, he wanted to tell Huang Jing his final ending, but when he saw the child in her arms, he finally couldn't help but say nothing.

"Give me a hug?"

Huang Jing handed it over, and Chu Li was in a hurry, but in the end, he held it firmly in the palm of his hand. The little guy was staring at herself, with doubts and vigilance in her eyes, and she suddenly grinned in the face of the tall and thin strange man.

Huang Jing looked at Chu Li, and when Xiang Yang Hua went to the back to sort out the goods, he suddenly asked, "You still don't have a girlfriend?" “

"I can't find it."

"Then I'll introduce you to one."

"But I don't have time to fall in love."

"What are you spending your time for? I heard Yang Hua say that you are not very busy. “

"Hopefully it will be a little busier in the future."

"There was a skinny Dongguan girl before, Xiao Ye, she was good. Don't you have that high vision~"

"Why don't I talk to her again? I've never had a high horizon, so I probably don't know how to fall in love. Chu Li said jokingly.

"Do you look down on us? Look down on her? Huang Jing's tone changed suddenly. Chu Li's wandering eyes had to focus back on her face, and her cold eyes seemed to have changed.

"No, no, don't think so?"

Xiang Yang Hua came out with a bag of unopened clothes from behind, Huang Jing looked down at his daughter and said softly, "That's good." “

Chu Li felt a chill in his back and sweaty palms, and in the days to come, he never tortured himself, did he have any prejudice against Huang Jing, Xiao Ye, or even Wu Siying, who had a different past? He has never doubted his true love for Dongguan, and his love for all the kind souls who are suffering and struggling in this land. But he was shocked by Huang Jing's doubts hidden deep in his heart during these long years. He still remembers that Huang Jing once said to himself in the test equipment: "No, can't you make a friend?" ”

At the beginning of the year, Uncle Ye and the villagers led the construction team to erect solar street lamps, and he said that the road would be repaired in the second half of the year. In the future, the two-lane highway will go straight to the village and run through it to Shenzhen. The other half of the villages, less than a kilometre away, have already begun to build townhouses, which will be occupied by a highway that, according to Mr. Ye, will connect Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. Construction of the battery plant's supporting buildings will also begin, and although it will not affect the warehouse they rent, it may become crowded in the future.

Unable to see the stars anymore, Chu Li looked up at the sky.

Chu Li returned to Chu Rong Machinery and couldn't sleep. He remembered the articles and pictures of Chen Sifa in Miaoyan's mobile phone, and thought of Miaoyan's child, Xiang Yang Hua's daughter, and realized once again that normal life was getting farther and farther away from him, the first time was at the gate of Hanyang Prison, looking at the iron gate. Even after so many years, it seems that I have never left that cramped space full of shackles. Everything that followed seemed to turn into an illusion, entering TMK, meeting so many people, and so many things happening, just trying to prove that I was alive. Only Chen Jing's death is like a sharp toothbrush that deeply pierces the skin, tears the muscles, and touches the bones, which is really chilling, where is Xia Hongfei now? Is Sun Lei still looking for him? Isn't it time for you to let go? Qian Langkun, doctor, Duan Wen These people are all dead, with that ugly soul that has desecrated the beauty, buried forever, and I am still wandering. In the end, I thought of Chen Si, she must be the end of her life, she is the full stop.
