A foreign city, dear you

"Well, I didn't expect Chen Pingfeng to ask his cousin to give up his position."

    "He trusts you unconditionally and doesn't want to make it difficult for you. When several people do business together, this kind of mutual trust is crucial."

    "Yes," Cao Xueqian was also impressed: "The three of us have been working together for so many years, and we know each other's characters very well. But Xiao Maobing really doesn't understand each other yet."

    "What do you mean? Aren't you and him brothers in need?" Ye Lian asked.

    "That's because he was in trouble. It still takes time to prove what kind of person he really is." Cao Xueqian is no longer as confident as before in the friendship between him and Xiao Maobing.

    "That's true," Ye Lian sighed: "For example, his wife Jian Xiqi, I thought she was a weak woman who needed protection at all times, but I never thought she would be such a scheming and tough woman."

    After hearing Ye Lian's words, Cao Xueqian fell into deep thought.

    Yes, this man is truly the most complex animal.

    Ye Lian couldn't understand Jian Xiqi, and he couldn't understand Xiao Maobing.

    Xiao Maobing, whom he once regarded as a brother in need, seemed to be becoming increasingly unclear.

    He never thought that Xiao Maobing would threaten Cao Xueqian for his own benefit. Was it a moment of confusion or the emergence of his true nature?

    "Then when will you let Jian Xiqi go to work?" Ye Lian saw that Cao Xueqian was a little distracted and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

    "It depends on herself." Cao Xueqian came back to his senses: "She must be eager to go to work tomorrow."

    "Then why don't you call and tell Xiao Maobing?"

    "Let's finish our meal first." Cao Xueqian said.

    This is a bit unlike Cao Xueqian's character. His nature is to act vigorously and resolutely. If something happens, he must deal with it immediately and will not wait for the next moment or even the next second.

    Cao Xueqian was a little reluctant to make this call, feeling that he was forced to make a concession and compromise.

    Make this call,

    What would Xiao Maobing think? You see, you, Cao Xueqian, are still afraid of me, right? Are you still afraid of the leverage in my hand?

    What would Jian Xiqi think? You see, Xiao Maobing told you that you wouldn't arrange a job for me, but you arranged it for me after I forced you to make a fuss. What kind of good thing are you?

    Cao Xueqian could even imagine the proud and sarcastic expressions on Xiao Maobing and Jian Xiqi's faces after the call was made.

    Alas, forget it, everything is focused on the overall situation, so don’t worry about these things.

    After the meal, Cao Xueqian called Xiao Maobing and told Xiao Maobing that Jian Xiqi could go to work in Tongxin Factory.

    Xiao Maobing's tone on the phone was also polite, neither surprised nor happy.

    Cao Xueqian had no interest in talking to Xiao Maobing about other topics, so he hung up the phone after talking about the matter. Although Cao Xueqian didn't show it on his face, he was still unhappy, so he asked Ye Lian to accompany him to the community for a walk and some fresh air.

    At night, the community looks quiet and warm. The short orange street lamps emit warm and soft light, embellishing the garden with sentimentality and beauty.

    Some people are walking, some are walking their dogs.

    Although it is still the first month, the wind is not cold.

    It's great to have a community garden. Even if it's dark, you can come down and breathe fresh air at any time. You don't have to worry about being too dark or about safety.

    Ye Lian held Cao Xueqian's arm and walked slowly around the community.

    "Why don't you speak? Why do you feel a little unhappy?" Ye Lian asked.

    "No, just so quietly, it's good." In the darkness, Cao Xueqian smiled.

    "The finance staff will be officially changed starting tomorrow?"

    "It should take a few more days for the handover, right?"

    "Jian Xiqi is a powerful person. I heard that she got her accounting certificate through self-study. I really can't believe that she is such a perseverant person."

    "You will be in the same office with such a powerful person from now on."

    "Are you worried about me? She won't eat me, right?"

    "Are you afraid? My husband is here."

    "You're not afraid, are you? She has already obtained the financial position as she wished, so nothing will happen to her anymore, right? What else can happen?"

    ……

    When walking in the community without looking at the road, the two of them casually enjoyed the night view, walked slowly, chatted slowly, and walked around in a circle. Cao Xueqian felt that the depression in his heart was slowly dissipating.

    Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian if he didn't regret letting Xiao Maobing become a shareholder? Cao Xueqian felt that it was not for a grown man to regret what happened in the past, and besides, it was not something he would regret. The most important thing was to do well now and look forward to the future.

    Ye Lian just smiled and said nothing.

    Also, the past is gone forever and cannot be changed. As long as the factory goes smoothly, it is better than anything else;

    Xiao Maobing and Jian Xiqi are not bad people after all. Xiao Maobing can send projects and orders to promote the development of the factory; Jian Xiqi is in charge of finance and still serves the factory;

    Jian Xiqi has gotten what she wants, and there shouldn't be anything else going on. Besides, what else can happen?

    ************************

    ……

    When Cao Lanshan walked out of the classroom and came to the gate of Xiangyang Middle School, it was already dark.

    School has been out for a while, and most of the students have already left the school. Only a few scattered students are seen walking out at the school gate.

    Fortunately, it is already March, and it has started to get warm along the city, without feeling as cold as water at night.

    Cao Lanshan walked to the school's bicycle shed. The bicycle shed was originally "full", but now he only had his bicycle left.

    Since moving to Jinjinghuayuan, Cao Lanshan has been riding a bicycle to and from school every day, because Jinjinghuayuan is nearly two kilometers away from the school.

    Cao Lanshan was locking his car when he heard his head teacher, Teacher Liang, call him: "Cao Lanshan, it's dark, please pay attention to safety on the road."

    Teacher Liang is the head teacher and English teacher. She asked Cao Xueqian to stay after school to help her grade English papers.

    Cao Lanshan agreed and pushed the bicycle out of the bicycle shed.

    Judging from the way Cao Lanshan walks, he is taller than Cao Xueqian. After entering junior high school, his body seemed to be stretched day by day like a rubber band, and his height varied day by day.

    Yes, Cao Lanshan is a student in the second semester of the second grade of junior high school. He has grown into a young man. Everyone calls him Cao Lanshan by his first name and surname, but few people call him Shanshan.

    Cao Lanshan got on the bicycle, and the childlike posture of leaning over the handlebars and pedaling had lost the childishness and first showed the heroic spirit of a young man.

    Cao Lanshan drove out of the school gate and onto the street.

    By the light of the street lamp, Cao Lanshan paid attention to the safety of the road, but his long legs still pedaled the car without letting up, and he could only hear the "whoosh" sound of the wheels as they passed quickly on the road.

    Gotta go home soon.

    Helping the teacher after school took up a lot of time, and there are so many homework tonight, I don't know when it will be done?

    Downhill, turn, turn again,

    Came to Xiangyang Avenue.

    Turn right and go forward to the intersection where Xiangyang Avenue and Yang'an Avenue meet.

    This intersection has many people and cars, and the road is wide and complicated. It is an intersection that Cao Xueqian repeatedly told Cao Lanshan to be more careful.

    Cao Lanshan stared at the traffic lights in front of him, took off his foot strength, and let the bicycle slowly slide forward with the inertia.

    "Cao Lanshan." Someone called out suddenly on the roadside.
