i'm not a bad man

Chapter 280 Humble Fatherly Love

I swear, the moment Qiao Jiao held my arm, I was completely unprepared, so that I was at a loss and seemed a little dull. This dullness increased the risk of revealing my secret, so Qiao Jiao A tricky angle that no one could see pinched my waist hard. While feeling the pain, I suddenly came back to my senses and realized: This is something I must cooperate with, otherwise something will happen. It aggravates the trust crisis, because I know in my heart that Qiao Jiao and I are not really boyfriend and girlfriend. If we don’t handle it well, we will fall into the quagmire of so-called child care!
I can understand Qiao Jiao's thoughts and feelings. I don't have the financial strength to invest in a B&B myself. If she invests in a B&B here as my girlfriend, it will also represent me to a certain extent. When I can actually invest a sum of money, When a lot of money is invested, this is a demonstration of leading by example. No one has any reason to doubt our determination and the prospects of the entire scenic spot.

I started to become more natural, and Qiao Jiao also held my arm tighter. Just when I was about to express my position, I suddenly heard a burst of applause, and then the crowd that had been gathered together separated automatically, and Chang Tianming and Chang It was at this time that Yu Li appeared in front of us like an airborne.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Jiao's speech was so contagious that no one who was immersed in it noticed Chang Tianming's arrival at the first time; Chang Tianming clasped his hands together, expressed his gratitude to Qiao Jiao, and then said to everyone: " She is worthy of being my goddaughter, Chang Tianming. What she said just now is so wonderful. It is not only well-founded but also filled with true feelings... While I express my gratitude to my goddaughter, I also apologize to everyone for this trouble. It was indeed caused by my poor thinking. In the end, I asked my goddaughter and Han Chao to clean up the mess for me. I feel really bad... While everyone is here, I will also explain this matter to everyone. The person at the bonfire party was indeed found by me, and he is the child of a distant relative of mine. Although we are distant relatives, I have a very good relationship with his father. His father passed away due to illness a few years ago, so I entrusted him to his care. Gave it to me... My nephew has been working for other people's B&Bs in Xiamen. He has experience in running B&Bs, but his life is really poor. In the spirit of being responsible for him, I proposed to open a B&B locally and let him go. For the management and operation, I provide the money, he provides the manpower, and the shares are distributed proportionally... I am indeed the one who invested in the B&B behind the scenes, and it will definitely be implemented. However, my business has become too big and complicated in recent years. It's my own scenic spot. I don't really want to show off, so I plan to get this B&B under his name... So, strictly speaking, this is not a shill, because the project is real and the funds behind it are real. , even the identity of his investor is real... Dear brothers, 2000 million is really not a small amount, and my money is not blown by strong winds. The reason why I decided to invest in a B&B in my scenic spot in the first place, Of course, it was because Han Chao’s design and planning impressed me, and he showed me the hope of revitalizing the Danangou Scenic Area..."

Chang Tianming's face showed emotion when he said this. After pondering for a while, he also told everyone about his past with Danangou. I'm not sure if other people can feel his affection for Danangou. Such feelings, but I can be sure that they have completely dispelled their doubts at this moment.

Chang Tianming was very happy and immediately said to everyone: "Thank you for your support and understanding. I will be the host tonight. The venue is set to be at Shengyu Hotel. We can have a more intimate chat and celebrate our sailing from here." …”

Heizu, who had not spoken much, finally took over Chang Tianming's words at this time and said: "Uncle Chang, you are happy that this misunderstanding can be resolved, and we are also happy... Let's not stay in the hotel with such a happy mood. It’s so closed off. To be honest, these friends and I really miss the atmosphere of the bonfire party. How about we choose another day and have another bonfire party next to Shuanglong Lake tonight, okay?”

Before Chang Tianming could speak, Chang Yuli took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Dad, I'll make the decision for you, so it's settled... I'll go greet people now and prepare the roasted sheep and tools... The sun goes down. Before that, the mission must be completed!”

In this atmosphere, Chang Tianming no longer seemed to think that Chang Yuli was a useless person. He patted Chang Yuli on the shoulder, showing a rare gentleness to Chang Yuli, and then said "Go ahead." .

I also like this kind of atmosphere, because in my life, I have never been able to make the people around me so cohesive when I take charge of something. I feel that everyone is helping me achieve it in their own way. I have longed for the value of life for a long time, but now I am only a few words away from realizing the value of life, "do it"; I will definitely try my best, for myself, and for the friends I have gathered in Danangou Scenic Area and strangers.

……

Everyone really liked Danangou. Even in winter, the scenery was much less beautiful. However, accompanied by Chang Tianming, everyone went to a waterfall on Shuanglong Lake together; Qiao Jiao and I stayed where we were. , not for anything else, because I want to talk to her about this sudden relationship and how to face it in the future...

If they all decide to invest here, they will become acquaintances in the future. Do Qiao Jiao and I have to keep acting like this in front of them?
I lit a cigarette, while Qiao Jiao leaned against the willow tree next to the bench, looking at me with a half-smiling expression...

It made me feel as if putting me in an awkward situation was part of her fun.

"Han Chao, I have become your girlfriend again."

I didn't come back to my senses for a moment, I just looked at her dully, and suddenly I remembered that the time before I was hiding in a cupboard at her house and was caught by her father. She also told her father the same thing, so this is another time. The words are not like "no wind and waves".

I finally replied: "I'm afraid you've gone too far this time. Before, it was just to fool your dad, but now you're fooling a group of people."

"Are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just worried that it won't end well."

With a playful smile on her face, Qiao Jiao replied: "What's the point of ending it badly? After they finalize the investment, we will announce our breakup and it will be over."

"You make it easy. You are so desperate to help me. As soon as the project is completed, I will break up with you. How will others see me?"

"I must think that you are burning bridges and are the biggest scumbag in history...I am different. My market situation will be much better than yours. In today's society, a woman like me who devotes her heart and soul to assist a man in his career How many men can there be? Any man with a little bit of brains will be moved by my spirit of giving. As soon as you break up with me, I will definitely be surrounded by suitors. When the time comes, I won’t be able to choose... ...And you will only be despised by everyone, and you will never think about finding a girlfriend again... You must not dare to tell these people the truth, otherwise the trust relationship that has been built with great difficulty will be shattered again! "How come I smell such a strong sense of calculation?"

Qiao Jiao shook her head, almost making faces at me...

I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart, but it was just a feeling of powerlessness. There was no emotion of disgust or disgust. Maybe it was because I was so impressed by Qiao Jiao’s performance just now that I couldn’t deal with such a careless person who was actually full of wisdom. Women feel disgusted. My feeling of powerlessness comes only from my inner worries. I really don’t know how to end it in the future.

It was during this period of silence that my phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it. It was a phone number from Qingdao, and it was a bomb number. It looked familiar, but I couldn't remember the number. Who does it belong to, but for sure I have received calls from this number.

……

I avoided Qiao Jiao and answered the phone. A familiar voice came from the phone: "I am Qiao Jiao's father. I want to ask you something. Qiao Jiao is not with you right now, right?" ?”

Only then did I remember that when Qiao Jiao used her boyfriend as a shield, her father had called me. Because the conversation was not congenial at the time, I did not save his phone number afterwards.

I subconsciously looked at Qiao Jiao who was still standing under the willow tree and replied: "We are together, Uncle Qiao."

"Don't let her hear the call."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Jiao's father didn't seem to have any special emotions, so I didn't feel confrontational towards him like before. I followed his request and walked a few steps further away from Qiao Jiao. He opened his mouth and replied: "Uncle Qiao, I am already far away from her. If you have anything to say, just tell her."

"Do you know which agency Qiao Jiao listed that villa with?"

I'm not surprised that Qiao Jiao's father would ask this. After all, this is a villa worth tens of millions. Even if he can't influence Qiao Jiao's decision, he still has to retain some right to know.

"It's listed with my friend's agency."

"Give me your friend's phone number. I'm going to buy this villa..." As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "I asked you about this, but you have to keep it a secret for me. We must not let Qiao Jiao know..."

I was so surprised that it took me a long time to reply: "Even if I keep it a secret for you, Qiao Jiao must be present when the transfer of ownership takes place."

"This house is not in my name for the time being. I will arrange for a friend to do so... Han Chao, please listen to me. I don't care what Qiao Jiao looks like to others, but in my heart, she is a treasure. Damn, the money from selling the house counts as the dowry I gave her. She will lose it if she throws it away, but I must keep this house for her. This is her future destination. As long as I am in Qingdao for a day, she will be in Qingdao. You can’t live without a home...you..."

At this point, Qiao Jiao's father paused briefly, but when he spoke again, he was already choked with sobs: "I'm just a daughter... Regarding the divorce between her mother and I, I feel sorry for her, so Over the years, I have let her do whatever she does. To put it bluntly, this is doting. The consequence of doting is that I really can’t control her... Now, since she has left with you, there is no need for me to follow you anymore. You are competing, I just want to ask you...let me ask you to please...be nice to her and don't let her be wronged..."

At this moment, there were no strong men in the business world. I only saw a humble father's love. This caused a great psychological impact on me. It took me a long time to reply: "Uncle Qiao, since you love Qiao Jiao so much." , why don't you tell her about this, she is so smart, she must be able to feel your good intentions."

"Put some pressure on her. You have to let her know that there is a price to pay for doing things. She can't just follow her and clean up the mess... Then again, there is no shouting in real love..."
