As the dishes gradually arrived, I poured Shen Man a drink, but Shen Man refused to drink it. I made her angry again.

I didn't want to say anything more, so I poured myself a drink and started eating and drinking. This meal cost hundreds of dollars, and I couldn't bear to waste it.

My heartless look made Shen Man even more angry: "Zhang Yixi, what on earth do you want me to say about you?"

"You don't need to say anything. Let's finish the meal in a happy mood." I said, taking out the chopsticks and handing them to Shen Man.

Perhaps seeing my firm attitude, Shen Man took the chopsticks and started to eat, but he seemed very absent-minded and did not speak to me. We were relatively silent, and there was no longer the laughter and curses before.

"Sister, I have decided to start my own business." I said to Shen Man after a long time.

"What kind of business is a store that costs tens of thousands of dollars?" Shen Man said and put down his chopsticks again.

"It's really nothing to you, but it's very important to me." I said solemnly. I know best what kind of life I have been living during this period. If I can open a store, it will be very important to me. It is also a great improvement, at least it no longer needs to be exposed to wind and sun.

"Do you dare to be responsible for your words and deeds?" Shen Man said, staring at me closely, her eyes full of oppression.

"I dare, I believe I can make it. One day you will be proud of me." I said to her with certainty.

"Okay..." Shen Man nodded and took out 40,000 yuan from his wallet angrily and placed it in front of me. All the people dining around looked at me and Shen Man strangely and put the money on the table. money.

"Are young couples planning to divorce and divide their property?" Someone with good intentions asked us.

"Shut up!~" Shen Man glared at the person who was causing trouble and yelled. She vented all her emotions towards me on that person.

The busybody muttered something in a low voice and stopped talking. Shen Man's tough look was still very calming.

I chose to remain silent, there was nothing to argue about, and I stuffed the money into my bag.

Shen Man and I were still dining in silence. I knew that despite my vows, she didn't believe me. I was also helpless about this. I really hadn't done anything to convince her in the past few years.

After dinner, despite my strong objections, Shen Man still insisted on going to that bunk with me. We drove to Mandu Plaza, and Luo Ge was already waiting for us in front of the square.

Shen Man and I got out of the car on two sides. Brother Luo still looked at Shen Man and me with confusion, but his expression turned into relief in an instant. In his eyes, Shen Man and I were just "fighting at the end of the bed." That’s all.”

When we arrived at the office area of ​​Mandu Plaza, we were received by an investment specialist from the Investment Promotion Department.

Shen Man asked the investment specialist: "Where is your manager Hu?"

"Do you know our manager Hu? He is patrolling downstairs right now." The investment specialist replied.

"Oh, then please tell him that Shen Man is looking for him."

The investment specialist nodded and immediately conveyed Shen Man's message to the investment manager through the intercom. At this time, I finally understood why Shen Man came with us.

After a while, Manager Hu came up, and when he saw Shen Man, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Director Shen, welcome to visit. No, I have to call you Mr. Shen now."

Shen Man smiled and chatted with Manager Hu, but I didn't want to hear it. This time Shen Man wanted to use her interpersonal relationships to help me again.

"This is my junior brother Zhang Yixi." Shen Man introduced me to Manager Hu with a smile.

"Yixi, this is Manager Hu, an old friend of mine." Shen Man pushed me and said.

"Oh." I mechanically stretched out my hand and held Manager Hu's hand.

Manager Hu patted me on the shoulder and said: "Last time I came here, you didn't say you knew Mr. Shen. Anyway, the contract hasn't been signed yet. Let's do this. The annual rent is 30,000 yuan, and I will waive 6,500 yuan for you. That warranty There’s no need to pay any money, everyone knows everything.”

In that moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Even if I wanted to break free, I was still enveloped by Shen Man's influence.

On the other hand, Brother Luo looked at Shen Man in disbelief. He didn't understand why Shen Man had such great influence.

"Xiao Li, take them to sign the contract." Manager Hu said to his assistant again.

After signing the contract and paying the cash, Brother Luo went home first, and I went back to Shen Man. Shen Man saw that I was back and said to Manager Hu: "I came back in a hurry this time. I will treat you to dinner next time."

Manager Hu smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for your words."

Shen Man said to Manager Hu with a smile that was used in the workplace: "Then we will make an appointment another day." After saying that, he put his hand on my shoulder and walked towards the elevator. This action made me feel dazed, and we seemed to be back in time. That intimate relationship from before.

After walking out of the mall, Shen Man suddenly seemed like a stranger again. She let go of her hand on my shoulder and walked to her car without saying goodbye to me.

"Senior sister, are you going back to Wuxi tonight? Let's have dinner together." I shouted to her back.

Shen Man turned around and looked at me with that decisive look in her eyes. She didn't answer me anymore and got into her car.

Watching Shen Man's car disappear before my eyes, I felt infinitely melancholy. I can never understand a woman's thoughts. They are like a misty forest. You can see her outline but not her structure clearly.

I let out a heavy breath. I know that my life has undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. I can't afford to lose. I must succeed this time. I want to tell Shen Man that I can do well even if she is not by my side. .

When I got home and lay on the bed, I was accompanied not only by darkness, but also by the flickering light from cigarette butts. In my mind, I thought about how to build this store. Whether I could stabilize my life depends on this store. Yes, it is my final capital to complete the counterattack.

I don't know why I wanted to share my mood at this time with Mo Han. I took the phone and sent her a message: "I have my own shop."

Mo Han texted me back a moment later: "Is it true? Congratulations."

"Well, next time we have a chance to meet you, you have to call me Boss Zhang." Mo Han and I joked.

"Hello, Boss Zhang." Mo Han replied immediately, and then sent me another MMS, which was a selfie of her in a scenic spot: "Does it look good?"

I stared blankly for several seconds before texting her back: "Very beautiful, so beautiful."

After sending the message, I stared at the photo sent by Mo Han. She was wearing very thin clothes. It looked like she had gone to a place like Sanya.

After chatting briefly for a while, all the words were useless. I was determined to change this situation. I asked Mo Han: "Do you have any plans to come to Nantong in the near future? Let you see my unique little shop."

"Hmm~~I have to think about it."

When I saw Mo Han's message, I couldn't help but kiss the phone: "YES"

Since Mo Han said so, she will definitely still get it. As for when it will come, I choose to wait patiently.
