Lofty future

The next day, Chi Xue got up very early to catch up with the schedule, and came to "say goodbye" before leaving.

Of course, it is still trespassing by swiping the room card.I just don't understand why the hotel allows more than one key card for a room, and they are held separately.

Probably because he didn't want to wake me up, he deliberately moved lightly.It seemed that he left something on the table, then leaned over and kissed me, stayed for a while, and then walked out.

I opened my eyes to check the time, it was not yet six o'clock.Moving his gaze to the desktop, he only saw a faint card.I got up and climbed over to see that it was a bank card.

My heart was a little complicated, so I didn't touch it.

Now that you're awake, it's hard to fall back asleep.Opened WeChat, and saw that there were a lot of discussions about the finale banquet in the middle of the night last night in the crew group, Li Fan sent the time and place, and deducted 1 for those who could go.

This one-month postponement was due to the reshoots of Gu Bai's scenes. In fact, many actors left the group long before I came, and this wrap-up banquet is not the first.

But unexpectedly, Zhan Yunpeng appeared.

There are several investors in this group, but I really didn't notice that Zhan Yunpeng was there.The one he bubbled up belonged to Aite, and he told me to go.

Logically, I should go, but Chi Xue is not here, and there are not many people deducting 1, so I think about it while browsing.

As a result, Li Fan and the others followed suit after he shouted, and my idea got stuck again.

After thinking about it, he didn't rush to reply in the group, instead he opened a personal chat and asked if he was in Yangcheng.

I didn't realize it until after posting, and it was too early now.Of course he didn't reply.

I just got up, washed up, and went for a morning run.

I ran all the way to Guxu Road, the street was cold and empty in the morning, and I occasionally saw one or two people who were also old people, walking slowly with vegetable baskets.The wind is very good, the sun is the most harmless temperature of the day, clean and comfortable.

Along the old street, I ran to the riverside.

From far away, I saw a familiar figure, stepping for a while, aimlessly doing nothing.

I quickened my pace and stepped forward to stop him: "Xiang Ting!"

"Cousin!" He stared at me in surprise, "Why are you here?"

I stopped to face him and looked him up and down: "I just want to ask you, why didn't you go to school?"

He grinned and was in high spirits: "I don't want to go!"

"..." Are children nowadays so confident in not going to school?

"Oh, brother, don't you want this expression, just like my dad!" He stretched out his hand to draw the corners of my mouth and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I don't go to school, our teachers are used to it. .Anyway, the exam will be in half a month, just do well in the exam then!"

"Can you pass the exam without going to school?"

"As long as I think about it, I can definitely do it. What's so difficult about going to school for the exam?"

He put on a nonchalant expression, and after a while, he turned around and leaned on the railing by the river: "Brother."

This cry was a bit unusual, and I looked over strangely: "What's wrong?"

"That's where my aunt was picked up." He raised his arm and pointed to a small island in the middle of the river.

Now that there is a lot of rain in this season, the small island only shows a small corner, and it will become a large area in autumn and winter.Years ago, Xiang Meifang was rescued on that piece of Jiang Zhongzhou.

It was said that it was saved, but in fact it was not saved.

I am not very willing to recall that time, but everything around those days is clearly hidden in the back of my mind.

Usually do not touch it, you can turn a blind eye.Once you touch it, it's kind of... kind of unbearable.

It was after Xiang Meifang’s death that I saw a childhood photo of Xiang Rong from Xiang Rong, who couldn’t tell whether it was her brother or her brother. It was black and white, a little girl with pigtails, sitting at NO. 16 on the threshold.

From then on, the memory of those few days has been transformed into the image of that little girl in my mind.

It's just that she is no longer staring at the camera in a daze in the photo, but squatting in the corner, looking at me pitifully and eagerly.

For this reason, I once felt that she was unwilling to do something and wanted me to do it for her.So for a long time I wondered what the hell was that, what should I do for her?

But I looked through the clues she left behind, and I could only believe that she was really tired of being tortured by illness.If there is anything to do with me, it is that she doesn't want to drag me down.

So all I can do for her is live a good life.

As for this, I'm not sure if I've done enough to reassure her over the years.

Now that things have passed for too long, time has soothed many emotions and knots, and I have been calm in the face of her death these years.Even being close to this river is regarded as normal.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Tinghui mentioned it.At that time, he was still a human cub that could barely pass my waist.

"Cousin, do you think I can't remember those things?" Glancing at my expression, he pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Zhongzhou, "My mother carried me to recognize someone that day, who has seen that kind of thing when I was young? Will the scene be forgotten?"

I really don't know.

I tried my best to recall Xiang Meifang's appearance when she was rescued. It was still in time, and she was still her original appearance, but... yes, it was enough to make people forget it forever.

I didn't know what to say, so I just raised my hand and patted Xiang Ting's shoulder, and changed the subject like any boring and powerless adult.

"Don't think about these things, go to school quickly."

He didn't speak, rested his chin on the back of his hand sullenly, and stared into the distance.

Headache, Jasmine is not a hypocritical child, there are very few such sudden sad moments, I really have no experience in dealing with them.It's unreasonable to continue urging him to go to school, and it's not an option to indulge him.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast." The only thing I could think of was this.

Fortunately, Xiang Ting responded positively: "I want to eat McDonald's!"

"...Eat such greasy food in the morning."

There is no trace of Xiang Ting's emotions. The string missing in his mind is somehow controlled, and his mood changes from moment to moment.

After breakfast, the whole person became positive and sunny for no reason, and told me with great interest which junior high school he was going to attend, and which interest class he would attend at that time.

He seemed to have checked that school to the bottom, and even knew all the famous people, and vowed to know who and who, who and who.

I have seen it, there is no child who does not chase stars.It just depends on what star you are chasing.

"Where is that school?"

"It's crossing the district, it's in the Danjiang New District!"

Hearing this, I was taken aback: "How did this happen?"

"As long as I do well in the exam, my dad will help me run it, and it's probably fine!" He pointed his thumb at himself, "I will work hard, and my grades will definitely be good, even though I'm not very good now!"

"..." I was speechless, I could only encourage.

After finally coaxing the little bastard to go to school, he went straight back to the hotel to pack his things.

For me, Happy Affair is completely over and it's time for me to get back to my own life.

Back home, Song Weiran and Jasmine had already gone out.I tidied up my room, and cleaned the public area by the way, and it was almost noon in a blink of an eye.

Before "Lonely Happy Event", I am usually on the supplier's side at this time.During my absence, Song Weiran mostly asked them to deliver the goods, and rarely went in person.

Now I am not very clear about the operation and stock situation of Spring Breeze Bud, so after thinking about it, I plan to go to the store first.

When I went out, I just received a reply from Zhan Yunpeng, saying that he was not in Yangcheng yet and could arrive in the afternoon.

"Then I'll pick you up."

"No, no, I brought someone, and there are other things, brother, if you don't mind, let's see you at the dinner party tomorrow."

I didn't hold back, and let the matter go.

When I arrived at the store, it happened that Song Weiran and all the shop assistants were there. I got to know each of them one by one, and had a symbolic chat with each of them, gradually understanding the current situation thoroughly.

The development of Chunfeng Budui this month has really exceeded my expectations. Not to mention the increase in daily business, all kinds of activities have been scheduled for summer vacation.

Song Weiran mentioned to me before that we will do a batch of online publicity, and now two of them have been implemented. They are launching screen opening and navigation banners on two well-known social apps, the latter directly linking to our Weibo homepage.

Weibo is now managed by a dedicated person, a new media editor named Fang Lan newly recruited by Song Weiran.

The little girl has excellent literary aesthetics and writing skills, and is also very sensitive to the interests and trends of young people.In her hands, Weibo showed a new vitality.

"How about it, are you satisfied with the boss?"

Song Weiran sat down in front of me with a smile, and I can see that her recent work has given her a sense of accomplishment.

Although we opened the store together, it may be because I invested more money at the beginning, or it may be due to social and cultural inertia-I am a man, and she has always been used to taking me as the main and putting herself in the auxiliary position.

In fact, most of the developments in front of me today are based on the basic idea and creativity of her.

The only difference is that a month ago I couldn't give enough financial support to help her realize it, and then I did.

It was her who really made things happen.

"Of course, are you satisfied with yourself?" I asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, I feel satisfied now, and I will be even more satisfied in the future." She raised her arm and waved it, "We are not drunk in the spring breeze, and we are alive!"

I nodded, didn't speak, just looked at her.

She was a little uncomfortable being stared at by me, and she touched her arm as if wiping goosebumps: "Don't look at me like that, I'm so disgusting, just speak up if you want to praise me!"

I followed the good advice and said, "Sister, you are really amazing."

She puffed her cheeks out of breath, wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed, kicked me, then slightly lowered her gaze: "It's not something I can do alone, Chi Xue also helped."

I couldn't help raising my eyebrows: "How much did you help? Have you paid back the money?"

"That's not necessary. I'm careful. The money you got back earlier is enough. He found me a marketing team. Otherwise, even if my ideas are to blossom, I can't make them so quickly!"

I am silent.

She apologized a little: "Chi Xue didn't want me to say it at first, thinking that if you found out, you would think he was using kindness to put pressure on you. But let me think about it, you probably don't think of him that way..."

"I don't think so," I snorted softly, and said in a muffled voice, "Since he wants to go home with all his heart, shouldn't he do something for his brothers and sisters?"

"You really think so?" Song Weiran was surprised.

"I can think so."

"...Then you really still think he did this to put pressure on you?"

"Won't you change it?"

"If you change me, if you change me, I will never let people who I don't feel, don't like, and don't intend to give a chance to get close to me, let alone help me secretly!"

Can you still talk properly?I think the person who was tamed by Chi Xue's Golden Finger was not me, but her, Song Weiran.

Seeing that I was connoted, she smiled even more happily: "Oh, how are you doing now... You're calling, it's Axue!"

Hearing this, I turned my head to look at the phone beside me, it was Chi Xue's call.

Song Weiran spread out his hands: "It seems that you are also making great progress."
