After Chen Qingyi finished speaking, she looked at me with an inquiring look, and she was waiting for me to give her a promise...

I have been speechless. I am tired of making promises because I have too many promises for women that have not been fulfilled. Life is long enough, and there are too many variables that cannot be controlled by human power. After seeing through everything, I can no longer give any promises. If I make a promise against my conscience, it is not a promise, it is a deception!

Chen Qingyi smiled and said, "At our age, after experiencing so many things, it is childish to look forward to the so-called promises. I know you will not give me any promises, and you can't afford them... But I still hope you can treat me better... I mean the heart, and the heart is better to me."

Chen Qingyi's words suddenly made me feel: the thin layer of window paper that was faintly crossing between us this year was about to be pierced.

I nodded... I paused for a long time and said, "Go to bed, it's very late."

I don’t know this night: whether Chen Qingyi and I were having a dream of having different beds, but I realized that neither of us was wrong, because none of us had done the right thing... We were willing to fall into the trap, perfunctorily strove and struggle reluctantly!

.........

The next morning, I was woken up by the phone ringing. The person who called me was the manager of the four stores of "Xilu Men's Supplies Store". Her tone was very anxious: "Mr. Zhang... Something happened."

My heart tightened, but I still said calmly: "Don't be anxious, just say it slowly."

"This morning, the owners of the four stores had no signs and wanted to return to the house as if we were to pay a high penalty for liquidated damages, and were not willing to let us continue to operate... What's wrong? The four owners who don't know each other suddenly made the same decision!!" The manager's voice was already choked. Every employee of Xiluo had a very deep relationship with Xiluo. The manager was the manager of Xiluo's former store in the University Town. Xiluo followed Xiluo before the accident.

I instantly understood what was going on: "I'll deal with it. You'll contact the owners of four shops now and I'll have an interview with them."

"Well... Mr. Zhang, the store must not be relocated... We finally solved the consumer's trust crisis. If we want to relocate, it will take more than a month to create a new store at the earliest. Moreover, we operate in a membership system. Once there is an interruption in the middle... consumers will definitely not be willing to trust us anymore!"

"Well, I'll communicate with the owner first to understand the specific situation." I said, and I was extremely anxious. The locations of these four shops were carefully designed by us. The layout is very reasonable, and they make up for each other and echo each other. If we only relocate one of the shops, the adverse effects caused can be compensated. If the four shops are relocated at the same time, it will be difficult for consumers to accept the vacuum period in the middle, and there will be no more so many ready-made shops waiting for us to operate after relocating. Just looking for a new shop may waste a long time, especially when we have caused the lack of trust from consumers, consumers will not give us too much tolerance.

......

I got up and didn't even have breakfast, so I rushed to the university town store of "Sea View Coffee". I made an appointment with four homeowners to meet here.

After the four of them arrived and sat down, I immediately pointed to the topic: "Everyone, can you give me an explanation, okay?"

One of the owners said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm actually quite surprised that you talked to us about this matter in person. With your current achievements, these small shops will be dispensable."

I controlled my anger and said coldly: "What I want is an explanation, not nonsense!"

The homeowner did not expect my reaction to be so intense. He was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, the property rights of the shop were no longer mine a week ago... But the buyer emphasized that he would notify you today... She bought my shop at a high price and was willing to help me bear the liquidated damages. You are also a merchant, and I believe you can understand me."

The other three homeowners looked at each other and said incrediblely: "This is the case for us... The buyer bought the shop a week ago and asked me to notify today... She has another sentence, let me bring it to you."

I frowned and asked, "What?"

"She said: Let you enjoy this taste..."

I gritted my teeth and leaned on the back of the chair with some weakness... Yesterday, Luo Ge was released from prison, and today Siro suffered a catastrophe... This is a premeditation!

I waved my hand to the four people and signaled them to leave. The property rights of the shop were no longer in their hands and there was no point in continuing to talk about it.

.........

After sitting in the office for a long time, I picked up the car keys on the table and went to find Angel. I couldn't let her continue like this... She would not only ruin Siro, but also lose herself.

I drove to the hotel where Angel stayed last time. I asked the hotel reception desk and she told me: Angel's room has not been withdrawn, but no one has stayed in these two days, so she may not be in Nantong.

When I returned to the company, I called Angel again, but no one answered... It was still the case after trying many times... I couldn't contact her and spent the whole day in anxiety.

After get off work, I thought about it for a while and went to the hotel again, but after asking, Anqi still didn't come back... I had no choice but to leave a phone number for the front desk and asked her to call me immediately after Anqi came back.

.........

It was getting deeper at night... I was anxious and lost, and went to Guqiao again. I seemed to be used to looking for comfort here.

I lit a cigarette and looked at the running water under the bridge with various neon lights in a daze.

The beggar beside me shook the begging bowl in his hand at me, and I looked at him... I took out all the money from my wallet, gave him 500 yuan, and put 500 yuan in each beggar's bowl in order... It was more like an venting than giving alms.

I just walked to the middle of the bridge... and she came from the other end, still holding a handful of ten yuan change in her hand.

The moment my impetuous mood gradually calmed down when I saw her, she seemed to have a magical magic.

I smiled at her, then signaled that I would disperse the money in my hands and gathered in the middle of the bridge. Mo Han nodded to me, walked towards the other end of the bridge, put the money in my hands into the beggar's bowl one by one, and I also walked towards the other end, although the opposite direction was Mo Han, but I did the same movements.

......

When we looked back, we finally met in the middle of the ancient bridge... We were silent for a long time, and I finally said, "hi, we meet again."

"Yes." Mo Han responded, turned around and leaned against the guardrail made of wood, watching the flowing water under the bridge as he was immersed in his mind.

I stood with Mo Han, and also watched the flowing water under the bridge.

After a long time, she asked me: "Zhang Yixi, you are not happy, are you?"

I was stunned for a moment... before I smiled, which was considered a default.
Chapter completed!
