I got to Anqi's current phone number without much trouble. I looked at the number I recorded on white paper and gradually turned into countless ghosts. Under various emotions, it became difficult to decide whether to dial this phone number.

I took out a box of cigarettes that I used to entertain friends from the drawer, took out one to ignite, but scattered it, and finally made up my mind to press heavy numbers one by one.

A moment later, the phone was answered. Before I could speak, I heard the "huhu" sound of wind, and she seemed to be driving on the highway.

"Hey, who?" she asked, and afterwards she could not hear the wind, she should have closed the car window.

I remained silent for a long time: "It's me..."

Silence to each other.

She seemed unable to confirm and asked again: "Who are you?"

"Zhang Yixi."

Silence again.

She laughed and said, "Zhang Yixi? Do we know each other?"

For Angel, all my explanations and apology seemed pale, just saying, "I know you hate me, but all the employees who handed my dreams and careers to me are innocent. Please give me your hands up, can you?"

"Zhang Yixi, you don't need to be so humble, let alone ask me, because I have never humbly asked you to be proud."

Then the phone hangs up, and I didn't dial in again. I understood what Angel meant. A seemingly simple sentence had already shown her character and position. I had no ability to convince her.

I am about to taste the bitter fruits I planted with my own hands!

......

When I got home, it was already late at night. After washing up, I was afraid of disturbing Chen Qingyi's rest, so I gently pushed open the door.

Chen Qingyi didn't rest. She was wearing pajamas and blankets, lying on the bed, holding a fashion magazine and watching.

"I haven't had a rest yet?" I asked with some surprise.

"Stay tomorrow, sleep late and be fine."

I nodded, lifted the blanket and lay down beside Chen Qingyi. I turned off the light and said to Chen Qingyi: "It's quite late, let's take a break early."

In the darkness, Chen Qingyi hugged me and asked softly: "Yixi, Anqi is back, right?"

I was stunned for a moment and replied, "Who did you hear?"

"How could I have no news about such a big thing happening in your circle? Yixi, what you should tell me, I don't want you to face it alone, I feel sorry for you... Over the years, you have looked calm, but you have lived too tired... Sometimes I really would like to see you who loves to smoke, drink, and talk to anyone!" Chen Qingyi's voice choked.

I hugged Chen Qingyi tightly, and felt a speechless touch in my heart. She has been taking care of meticulously by my side over the years.

"Yixi, will you regret choosing me?"

"Don't ask such a stupid question, I'm very glad to be with you."

Chen Qingyi was silent and said to me for a long time: "Yixi, let's take Pipi to immigrate. Leaving these troubles, the money we earned over the years is enough for us to live for the rest of our lives."

I was surprised. This was completely different from the decision made by the rational Chen Qingyi. After a long time, I said: "My body carries other people's dreams. If I give up my company and career now, many people will collapse. And our parents, are they willing to immigrate with us? If we don't, are we selfish and let them suffer the pain of missing you?"

Chen Qingyi was speechless...it took a long time to say: "Yixi, I am too emotional, but you must remember that no matter what the future will be, I will definitely be with you."

"Um."

.........

The next morning, I came to the office located in the "Pastoral Pastoral" coffee shop. After sorting out a piece of information, I prepared to rush to the airport. This afternoon, there was a project in Jinan that I had to discuss in person.

After leaving the office, I passed by the lobby on the first floor, but unexpectedly found Tian Tian sitting in the lobby ordering a cup of coffee and some snacks.

We looked at each other and I greeted her: "Yang, Master Tian!"

"What's the early one? It's 9:30!"

I smiled and said, "Are you having breakfast too? It's pretty early!"

Tian Tian was stunned and then said, "Do you care about it?"

I still smiled and said to the cashier, "This lady's breakfast is on my account." I said to Tian Tian, ​​"You can use it slowly, I have something to do, I will lose my companion first."

"Wait." Tian Tian stopped me.

I was a little surprised: "Is there anything else?"

"Your coffee is good."

"Thanks!"

Tian Tian nodded and said, "I have a friend to come later. Can you invite me by the way?"

"No problem." I nodded to the cashier at the service desk again. After looking at the time, I was tight and walked outside without staying.

.........

It was still drizzling today. I drove to Shanghai and flew from Shanghai to Jinan. When I arrived in Jinan, it was already afternoon. Zhang Chuang and Guan Ying went to the airport to pick me up.

On the way, Zhang Chuang drove, and Guan Ying and I sat in the back seat. Guan Ying asked in disbelief: "What's the matter with the collective resignation of the senior management of Haijing Coffee?"

"Someone is operating behind the scenes." I said in a simple way.

"Who has such great ability? I'm curious?"

I looked out the car window and said in a daze: "Anqi."

Guan Ying looked incredible, but in the end she chose to remain silent... After a long time, she asked again: "What are you going to do? She is obviously not a good person!"

"She is open and secret, and I can't take any measures to deal with me before she determines how she is going to target me."

Guan Ying nodded and said, "Be cautious. If you need anything I need to cooperate, please contact me as soon as possible."

"Um."

.........

This time, a real estate company and our "Caid Dream Factory" discussed the annual full-case agency project. Things went smoothly. With just one negotiation, we reached a preliminary cooperation intention, which is thanks to the high-quality reputation accumulated by Caid Dream Factory in the advertising industry in the past two years.

In the evening, I invited customers to have dinner as the general manager of "Cai Meng Factory". It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the dinner ended.

Sitting in Zhang Chuang's car, he asked me: "Go to the hotel or take you home?"

I thought about it and said, "Go home..." I stopped and added, "The first house I bought."

Zhang Chuang was a little surprised, but nodded and said, "I understand."

.........

This two-bedroom and one-living room-decorated cottage was used by Angel and I for a wedding house. I had the opportunity to sell this house many times, but I didn’t have the motivation to sell it, and I just told myself: I don’t lack the money for selling the house.

A year and a half ago, I paid enough property management fees and other expenses, but I have not lived in this house for more than half a year. I can imagine what a decay smell would be in the house after a long time without a population.

I took out the key from my bag, opened the door, subconsciously closed my breath, and turned on the light again. The scene in front of me surprised me. There was no smell of decay in the room, and there was only a thin layer of dust on the table and cabinet. I instantly realized that someone had lived here not long ago.
