After Lin Qingyue and I separated, we both seemed to be blushing and panting. She looked at me with some sadness, while I just sat on the chair, silent.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to...under this situation, do you understand what I mean?" Lin Qingyue said to me.

"I know." I nodded.

"You won't be angry?"

I smiled and said, "Of course not. When I'm with you, I'm not coveting your body, so...of course not."

Lin Qingyue fell silent, and after a moment, she said softly to me: "I would rather... I would rather give my whole self to you on our wedding day, is that okay?"

Listening to Lin Qingyue's words, my mind seemed to picture her wearing a white wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers. She was walking on the red carpet, surrounded by flowers. I stood on the stage and looked into her eyes.

, she winked at me playfully.

Lin Qingyue at that time must have been very, very beautiful.

"Of course." I nodded.

Lin Qingyue stood up, hugged me gently again, and said softly in my ear: "You are so kind."

This time we didn't have that kind of impulse anymore. Both of us were calm, as if we could feel each other's heartbeat.

…

After eating the dinner Lin Qingyue cooked for me, I packed up my easel and rode my bicycle to Lao Mendong to set up a stall.

Lin Qingyue did not go with me tonight because she wanted to go to her father for the last communication.

If nothing else happens, she will probably return to Guangdong tomorrow.

In this exchange between her and Uncle Lin, I saw the concession made by Uncle Lin, which was to allow Lin Qingyue to participate in the operation of the mall and at the same time allocate a certain share of shares to Lin Qingyue.

It's just that their shopping malls now... to put it lightly, are actually not much better than our "Tingyu" teahouse. The current situation is similar to ours, so these shares and the power to participate in the operation are simply dispensable.

.

Their shopping mall is too large, so if they want to save it, it will not be as easy as "Tingyu" Teahouse. It will even require hundreds of millions of funds, but where can I find so much money?

Therefore, neither Wang Pianpian nor I are optimistic about the outcome of their shopping mall. The only way to achieve bankruptcy and reorganization is to at least slightly reduce the debt pressure and pursue changes.

But according to my understanding of Uncle Lin, delegating power to Lin Qingyue will certainly decentralize power, but the shares will definitely not be higher than Lin Jingxuan, so in any case, although Uncle Lin has not retreated behind the scenes, the shares he occupies

It must be decided in one word.

All of these are a test for Lin Qingyue. She is similar to Anjing and Wang Pianpian to a certain extent, so of course I have confidence in her. But now this situation is already very difficult. No wonder Uncle Lin can't use it.

"Marriage" is the way to save the company.

I just don’t know whether his so-called marriage partner is interested in his daughter or his seemingly bankrupt company.

At least Lao Zhou is interested in the latter. If his plan succeeds, then these disasters can be passed on to a certain extent.

Even if he cannot avoid being imprisoned, the Zhou family will not be so injured that it leads to the current precarious situation.

Just when I was thinking this, I arrived at Laomendong without knowing it, so I found a place to park my car and walked to the stall carrying my easel.

Today's business is very average. I don't know if it's because it's a Thursday, so there isn't much customer traffic.

But I didn't care. When there were no customers, I would just be in a daze. When there were customers, I would start working.

I am a very casual person. Of course I like this kind of life. I don’t have to worry so much and I am not particularly tired.

If you can do five sales in one night, you can earn 200 yuan, which will be 6,000 yuan in a month. If you find a regular job during the day, your monthly income can be over 10,000 yuan, but here in Nanjing,

This kind of income is actually not high, but it is still manageable.

But I have not forgotten that I can set up a stall here thanks to Jing Jing. If I didn't have this relationship, I'm afraid I would still be "hide and seek" with the urban management brother, so to a certain extent, I am better than usual.

People are really much nicer, and it's not really difficult.

I'm not so stupid that I'm deliberately looking for trouble. Since there is such a relationship, why don't I use it? If I don't use it, I'm hopelessly stupid.

While I was in a daze, a new customer arrived, so I calmed down and continued working.

…

In about twenty minutes, I handed the drawing paper into his hands, and I completed my third order of the night.

It's just that it's almost 9:30 in the evening, and it's half an hour before I close the stall. It seems that today's business is not very good, and I can only do three orders.

"Zhou Jing, are you setting up a stall here?"

When I was putting away the drawing paper, Zhang Zishan's voice came from in front of the stall. I looked up and saw Chen Gonghua and Zhang Zishan.

Chen Gonghua had two dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. He didn't know whether he was tired from running business or because he had indulged in too much.

Zhang Zishan looked at my stall with curiosity, obviously this was a new thing to her.

"How did you find this place?" I asked doubtfully.

"You didn't tell us last time that you were setting up a stall here in Laomendong. Fatty and I just came back from the teahouse and wanted to take a walk around the Confucius Temple, so we stopped by Laomendong to see you."

Zhang Zishan said.

I smiled and said to them: "How should I put it? Does it feel like a legendary painter is hiding in the city?"

"He's a legendary painter! I hope you can be a blockbuster in that art exhibition. You know, it's very valuable." Zhang Zishan curled her lips and said.

"Just do your best." I shook my head.

Now that the paintings for the exhibition have been completed, I don't bother to worry about it any more and just let it take its course.

Chen Gonghua looked at the paintings I had hung up and couldn't help but ask me: "You think, why don't we also hang some paintings in our teahouse?"

"Hang my paintings?" I asked doubtfully.

"Yours is fine, and so is someone else's, but it must be authentic, you know?" Chen Gonghua said.

Zhang Zishan clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I think it's okay. Speaking of which, our teahouse doesn't have much decoration, so we might as well just hang paintings."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about this later. Not to mention that I am still just an unknown person, and it is impossible to hang all my paintings."

"I know." Zhang Zishan waved her hand impatiently.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already 9:40. I simply didn’t wait for the next order and started to close up the stall directly.

"Is the stall going to be closed now?" Chen Gonghua asked.

"Well, there's not much business anymore. The stalls usually close at ten o'clock in the evening." I said.

"Okay, how about we have a midnight snack together later? Anyway, we're all here." Chen Gonghua suggested.

Remembering that Lin Qingyue was going back tomorrow, I shook my head and said to him: "Forget it, I'd better go back. We can meet again next time."

Chen Gonghua frowned and said, "Go back to accompany your girlfriend? Isn't she still living at your house? She can't leave, so she doesn't even have time to have a midnight snack, right?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Something happened at home and she will go back to Guangdong tomorrow."

Chen Gonghua was stunned for a moment, and then said to me: "What happened? Didn't you try so hard to pick her up in the first place? Now if you let her go back, wouldn't what you did before be in vain?"

Chen Gonghua wanted to say something more, but he suddenly stopped and stopped talking because I saw Zhang Zishan tugging at the corner of his clothes quietly.

I said helplessly: "I know, but her family has made some compromises with her, and she doesn't necessarily have to use marriage to solve family problems when she goes back. I also believe she won't give up easily."

Zhang Zishan nodded and comforted me: "It's okay. I believe Qingyue loves you too, so you don't have to worry so much. As long as two people love each other, nothing can separate them."

I smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know, you don't need to comfort me."

Chen Gonghua came over, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Forget it tonight, we can get together next time."

"OK."
