I became a substitute for my brother

Qin Wenyuan stayed abroad for nearly half a month with his unhealed injuries. The matter was almost finished, and it was just a little bit close to finishing, but at this time he received a call from China.

Tao Heng didn't make the call. Tao Heng didn't take the initiative to call him. He called back. He spoke neither cold nor cold, and was always not enthusiastic. Qin Wenyuan didn't care at all. For him, being able to get back together with Tao Heng Up to now, such a relationship has been God's pity for him.

Every time he called back, Tao Heng would ask him some questions in turn. The most frequently asked questions were about his physical condition. Whether it was out of responsibility or genuine concern, as long as he asked, Qin Wenyuan felt satisfied.

He has learned to restrain himself now, and no longer makes himself so eager. Although the longing and longing have never stopped these days of separation, but when he thinks hard, knowing that he will respond to him is a comfort.He thought it was all very well.

The call was from Shen Yifeng.

Shen Yifeng has been cooperating with the Qin family for the past few years, but Qin Wenyuan has grown bigger and bigger, but he, the Shen family, has encountered some bad luck. He has lost several businesses in a row, and it is going downhill. Of course, the few projects that lost money It has nothing to do with the Qin family, so he has been holding on to Qin Wenyuan, thinking that he can rely on Qin Wenyuan to regain warmth.

Qin Wenyuan felt ashamed of Shen Yifeng because of what happened to Shen Qiran back then, and he helped everything he could, but Shen's internal management was not in place, so he couldn't help this, and he could only do his best.

He picked up the phone: "Boss Shen, what's the matter?"

Shen Yifeng has been overworked these years, and even his voice is a lot tired, "Mr. Qin, excuse me."

"Don't bother me, just tell me if you have something to say." Qin Wenyuan stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the distant scenery of a foreign country.

"Qi Ran sneaked back to the country, but he disappeared." Shen Yifeng said.

Tao Heng had a few meals with several brand owners these days, and talked about a few endorsements. In fact, he didn't need to come forward for these things in person, but maybe those people knew about his relationship with Qin Wenyuan, and they deliberately bypassed Mina and put him in front of him. It doesn't matter to him if they go out on a date, it's all for the company, whoever talks about it is not talking about it.

Among today's brand owners, there is a brand representative who is about the same age as Tao Heng, named Xiang Yiming. To visit an art garden he and his friends set up on the outskirts of the city, Tao Heng didn't understand why he wanted to open the art garden in the outskirts of the city, but he agreed without asking.

On the weekend, Tao Heng followed Xiang Yiming to the art garden on the outskirts of the city. When he arrived, he found that he had been to this place before. Although the surrounding scenery had changed, he would remember it even after five years.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yiming saw him staring at a place in a daze after getting off the car, and asked him.

Tao Heng pointed to the other side, "Is there a botanical garden there before?"

"Indeed," Xiang Yiming said, "but it has been closed for a long time."

"Why?" Tao Heng asked.

"I don't know," Xiang Yiming shook his head, "It's just that it doesn't make money. The manual maintenance costs are high, and the cost can't be recovered. If you lose money, there's no need to continue driving."

Tao Heng was a little taken aback. He didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan would close the botanical garden that was originally given to Tao Zhuo. Is there still someone to take care of the rose garden in the garden?It was Qin Wenyuan who planted roses on purpose for Tao Zhuo, is Qin Wenyuan willing to let it be so deserted?

The art garden is right next to the botanical garden, in a newly built irregular building, surrounded by either mountains or water, Tao Heng doesn't understand why they want to build a building here.He didn't understand art or business, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed Xiang Yiming in.

Entering the door is an exhibition hall. In the hall, some triangular tables are placed irregularly. There are glass covers on the tables. Abstract plaster of mother and child, vacant figure climbing the stairs decoration, the introduction below says "forge ahead"...

Tao Heng didn't understand these things, but he thought they looked pretty good on display, but he didn't know if they were only for exhibition or for sale.

There were quite a few people in the hall, but they were all quiet, standing together in twos and threes admiring the works of art, and discussing their opinions on these works of art in a low voice.

"There are pottery and sculptures upstairs, I'll take you up there to have a look." Xiang Yiming said.

Tao Heng walked around with Xiang Yiming, took a few things he thought were eye-catching, and asked Xiang Yiming to send them to his company another day, and then said: "You do your work first, I'll go out and have a look."

Xiang Yiming happened to be held back by someone to talk about something, and said to him, "Okay, be careful yourself, don't go too far."

Tao Heng leaned on his crutches and walked slowly towards the garden next door.

Sure enough, the garden was closed and the gate was locked. From the outside, it was deserted inside. He walked around the fence for a while, and saw a small door half-closed. Outside the door was an electric tricycle. The owner of the tricycle He didn't know where he was going, so he walked into the small gate and saw a bamboo forest. The forest was huge, the bamboos grew very tall, and the ground was covered with withered bamboo leaves. People walked on it and made noises.

Tao Heng didn't go in. He stood for a while and was about to turn around and leave when a man came out of the woods, holding a box in his arms. There were freshly dug winter bamboo shoots in the box. Seeing Tao Heng, he was stunned for a moment and asked : "Who are you looking for?"

Tao Heng said: "Hello, brother, I want to ask, there used to be a rose garden in this garden, do you know where to go?"

The man looked him up and down, and replied: "The rose garden disappeared a few years ago, and you can't find it now."

Tao Heng nodded with some disappointment, and said he was right, the garden was left unattended, and the flowers would not bloom for long, he thanked him and turned to leave, when the man suddenly stopped him: "Why are you looking for a rose garden? "

Tao Heng made up a random reason: "I saw it when I came to play a few years ago, and thought it was very beautiful, but I didn't expect to find it now."

The man sighed, and said: "The rose garden was the first that didn't exist in this garden. The boss didn't let it grow, so he came over and destroyed it himself. Later, I don't know what happened. The whole garden was closed. We employees can only do it." After receiving the compensation, I looked for a job again.”

Tao Heng opened his mouth, "The boss destroyed it himself? So many flowers, what a pity."

"That's not it," the man's tone was full of regret, "The boss didn't know what kind of stimulation he had received. When he came, he asked people to shovel the flowers without saying a word. Everyone wanted to persuade him, but he took a sickle and went there soon I cut off a large piece, and my hands were bleeding from the thorns."

Tao Heng was walking towards the art garden. On the way, he received a call from Qin Wenyuan, asking him where he was in a tense voice. Tao Heng thought that Qin Wenyuan had returned to China, and was about to speak when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him, followed by a slap on the back of his neck. Pain, then do not know anything.
