Chapter 87: He is my father
I hugged Pipi who was running towards me with one arm. He lay on me and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself. The radio sound of boarding the plane continued to sound, and Chen Qingyi's face turned pale. It was not only me who was shocked by this sudden change, but also her.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I want to be with my dad." Pipi finally whimpered to Chen Qingyi.
Chen Qingyi looked heartbroken and tears couldn't stop falling. This was caused by hope but disappointment.
Chen Qingyi opened her arms and handed her holding Pipi to her. She choked and asked softly: "Pipi, tell my mother, why don't you go to Ireland?"
Pipi looked at me for a long time and said, "Because he is my father!"
Chen Qingyi nodded with difficulty. This was undoubtedly a very hurtful answer to her. She kissed Pipi gently on Pipi's forehead, then put down Pipi, smiled at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Zhang Yixi, in fact, with Pipi, all your failures in this life have been covered up. I envy you very much... Take good care of Pipi and take care of it!"
Chen Qingyi covered her mouth and turned around and ran towards the boarding gate.
"Mom, when I grow up, I will definitely go to Ireland to see you!" Pipi shouted to Chen Qingyi with her arms wrapped around her mouth.
Chen Qingyi stopped but did not look back. Until the radio prompt sounded again, she ran to the boarding gate and gradually disappeared from our sight with the crowd.
At this time, Pipi finally hugged my legs and cried heartbrokenly. I don’t know if it was because of Chen Qingyi’s departure or because I was afraid of loneliness without my mother. In short, my heart shattered with his crying!
.........
I carried Pipi to the lawn outside the airport, where we could also see the afterimages left by the plane after entering the sky.
The huge roar seemed to press towards me and Pipi and me with overwhelming melancholy, and we waved heavily at the afterimage of the plane.
After a long time, even the last roar disappeared completely. We realized that Chen Qingyi had left, really left. We were getting farther and farther apart, and finally we disappeared from each other and forgot each other.
Pipi did not cry anymore. He seemed to have accepted the fact that Chen Qingyi left. After a long time, he said to me: "Dad, when you get married to Aunt An, you will send me to Ireland to live with Chen's mother, okay?"
I looked at Pipi in surprise and asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"
"She doesn't like me."
I said patiently to Pipi: "First of all, I have no chance of getting married with that Aunt An. Besides, you are so cute, how could she not like you?"
"Then why did you marry Chen's mother instead of Aunt An at that time?"
I was speechless when Pipi asked!
.........
My new life began with the death of my grandfather and Chen Qingyi's departure. I returned to Nantong and took Pipi, and I no longer placed him in the small town for my parents to take care of. After this time, I realized that my father had a very important position in his heart, and I would accompany him throughout his childhood.
I temporarily took Pipi to live in Han Feng's home. Because Ye Huayi was in labor, Ye Huayi's mother rushed to Nantong to take care of her, nanny and nursing employed several of them. It was not a big problem to help take care of Pipi. Moreover, Pipi spent most of her time at school and did not need to invest too much energy to take care of her, but we, father and son, eventually, were somewhat sad to rely on other people's families.
After everything was settled, I began to prepare for returning to the mall. In order to cooperate with me to return to the mall, Guan Ying and Shen Man transferred the management rights of "Caid Dream Factory" to me. They were still working in "Caid Dream Factory", mainly responsible for the Haijing Coffee project, and the control and promotion of Caid Dream Factory's transformation into a public relations company.
The reason why I chose "Caimeng Factory" for the first stop of the mall was mainly because Anqi entrusted the brand operation of "Sea View Coffee" and the brand operation of "Lijingxuan" to "Caimeng Factory". In this way, I would at least contact Anqi at work first.
I spent a week understanding and following up on the operation of these two projects. After I had my own ideas, I found my assistant.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any instructions to me?" The assistant appeared in front of me with a stack of documents.
"You are now in contact with President An's assistant, and you will say that the newly appointed planning director of Caimeng Factory hopes to communicate with President An about the operations of the two brands, Haijing Coffee and Lijingxuan, and hope that President An will arrange a time to meet in the near future."
The assistant looked at me unexpectedly. As long as I was at the "Dream Factory", I knew about the emotional entanglement between An Qi. In their eyes, I met An Qi in such a formal way, which was really unnecessary.
“Is there any problem?”
The assistant shook his head quickly: "No problem, Mr. Zhang, I'll contact you now!"
"Go."
.........
I lit a cigarette and quietly waited for the results after contacting the assistant. I knew that Angie would definitely not slacken in work, so we will definitely have a chance to meet in the near future. But I don’t know what her reaction will be when I appear in front of her as the planning director of "Cai Meng Factory". I hope she can keep calm, and I can also keep calm, complete cooperation in peace, and overcome the crisis together!
A moment later, the assistant sent me the news that Anqi was on a business trip in Sanya recently and would come to Nantong in three days to inspect "Lijingxuan" and "Seaview Coffee". Three days later, at 2 pm, we will have half an hour of meeting time.
After confirming the agreed time, my emotions instantly became complicated. Calculate the time. Angel and I haven't seen each other for a long time. During this period, I experienced the storm of my grandfather's death and going to Ireland. When I had to face it again, I felt like I was a different life.
.........
In the busy day, I welcomed the night after get off work. My right arm was able to do some simple exercises, and I drove the car again. In fact, I have changed several cars over the years. The original SRX was destroyed in that serious car accident. After that, I did not choose SRX again because it was a painful memory for me. Although I was crazy about the freedom represented by SRX, people will always change their cognition and pursuit because of certain events.
Now I drive a 12-model Phaeton, which is known as the most low-key luxury car. In fact, this car is not mine, it is Han Feng's. I just borrowed it from him to drive it. I think I need this kind of low-key at this stage. Of course, I can also buy a mid-range car to drive it in a low-key manner, but after all, it costs money. Phaeton belongs to my brother, and it is also a loss. It is better to borrow it to make me low-key. In fact, I have always liked to take advantage of this kind of small profit after careful calculation. The resurgence of this behavior makes me feel that I am getting closer to the Zhang Yixi he used to be.
.........
When he returned to his residence, Han Feng happened to rush back to Nantong from Kunming. Because Ye Huayi was getting closer and closer to the delivery period, he would stay in Nantong for a long time when he came back.
At dinner time, after everyone finished eating, we opened a few more bottles of beer alone and started chatting.
After drinking a glass of beer, Han Feng said to me: "The real estate project in Kunming has been acquired by Huali Group and continues to be developed, and all of the prince's shares have been discounted to him in cash."
I was surprised by the news. I didn’t expect Han Feng to let Huali Group intervene and terminate the cooperation with the prince!!

I received a notice from the website: On the first day of next month, that is, the day after tomorrow, this book will be listed on the website for a fee. I know that no matter how you explain it, there will always be people scolding you and some people don’t understand, so I don’t want to say too much, just restore the real situation.
This book has 100,000 to 200,000 words. What is the point of charging for the shelves at this time? It’s just that the website measures the commercial value of my author and work... If I still write a book and write a book at 17K, then it will be a reference and evaluation for the value of my next work.
I don’t know how to explain it when I say I’m watery and make up the word count, but I can tell you for sure that no one wants to end this book more than I do, but an author has the author’s work ethics and responsibilities to the website... So when the editor called me, he said, either keep writing, the more he wrote, the better. If you want to finish the book, then put it on sale and let the website evaluate the commercial value of your author and work. I said: Then put it on the shelves, I understand the website.
I don’t want everyone to have any opinions on the website. The website needs revenue to maintain operation and risk assessment is required. Everyone understands this, there is nothing to complain about or scold!
In fact, I was under a lot of pressure. My book was on sale for the first time, and the purpose was very simple, which was to evaluate the value... Otherwise, I would not have been on sale for the last 100,000 words left.
The reason why 17K evaluates me and my books is that I have a heart-to-heart talk with the editor. At 17K, my book is the only one, which is very different from the website positioning of 17K. There is a great risk of putting resources on this type of book. Although 17K is an old novel website, there is not much experience in making this type of book, so my book needs to be market evaluation more than other authors' books... I hope everyone understands that this is what the website must do.
--------------------------------------------
The 17K fee is like this, 3 cents per thousand words, and we calculate it based on the 150,000 words of the book, which is 4.5 yuan, and 4.5 yuan is just the money of a bowl of instant noodles and a few cigarettes. If someone makes a decision on how many dollars, there is nothing to say.
Before the author is put on the shelves, he will explain how difficult it is to write a book by himself according to conventions to gain support. In fact, it is not easy to start in any industry. The author is hard and readers are also hard, so there is nothing to emphasize about the so-called hardship... I just want everyone to support it.
Your support is the basis for the website to recognize this book and the basis for the recognition of this type of book.
