i'm not a bad man

Chapter 295 Make Your Eyes

After the helicopter's propeller stopped rotating completely, the dead leaves that were stirred down by the airflow also fell to the ground. Everything returned to calm, but the air was filled with a very strong smell of aviation kerosene...

Under such commotion, Qin Minhong didn't hang up the phone. She asked me with strong uneasiness: "What's the situation over there? Is the sky falling or the ground is sinking... Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you, Sister Minhong... A helicopter landed here. It was the one that sent Lu Xi away. Could it be that she is back?"

"Impossible, I'm just about to rush to meet her. I've even bought my ticket. How could she go back to your place again!"

As soon as Qin Minhong finished speaking, the helicopter door opened, and then I saw Qiao Jiao walking out of it. This really surprised me. I had no idea how she got on this plane.

Qiao Jiao had already walked over to me carrying her luggage. The helicopter started up again and made such a loud roar that the dead leaves that had just landed were stirred up again and drifted around in the air with the airflow. …

Qin Minhong on the other end of the phone finally hung up the phone because she couldn't bear it, so my attention was all on Qiao Jiao; it was not only the fallen leaves that were stirred by the airflow, but also her shawl, which covered her face. , as soon as she took it off, she covered it again. After repeating this several times, Qiao Jiao, who had a bad temper, showed an angry expression...

I laughed.

Qiao Jiao simply pulled off her shawl, but the plane had already risen to a high altitude, and the originally chaotic airflow returned to a stable state. This made Qiao Jiao's behavior unnecessary, so I found it even more funny.

"why are you laughing?"

"Riding in a helicopter is a very exciting thing, so why do you become so embarrassed when you come here?"

"go to hell."

Qiao Jiao hit me with her shawl, and a gust of cold wind happened to blow over. The weightless shawl fell to my feet before it touched me. I picked it up and wrapped it around my neck. , and suddenly there was a comfortable warmth, and Qiao Jiao's breath. She seemed to be wearing a very light perfume.

I put my hands in my pockets and looked at Qiao Jiao with a half-smile.

"If you like to laugh, just laugh as much as you want..."

I thought these were Qiao Jiao's angry words, but the next second, she smiled even more proudly than me, and then raised her eyebrows and said to me: "I have already received the money, and it is a seller who exceeded my psychological expectations. Price, and when I went through the transfer procedures, it was even smoother. It only took two hours to complete. Do you think this is a good omen? I will definitely be able to open one here with this money. A perfect B&B, and I finally made a lot of money!”

After saying that, Qiao Jiao turned around and looked at the vacant land that had been reserved by her. It seemed that in her imagination, such a B&B had already been built here; but at this moment, I couldn't share it with her. Love, because I know that behind her expectations and excitement is a love that weighs as much as a thousand pounds from her father. She can’t live up to it, and I can’t live up to it even more... And this is also an important factor in my efforts to revive the scenic spot. The reason is that if her B&B is a row of teeth, then the entire scenic spot is a mouth. If there is no mouth that can eat and talk, no matter how sharp the teeth are, what use are they?

"Han Chao, why do you look so depressed?"

"Did you pay less tax when you transferred the ownership of this villa?"

"It's true that I paid less tax, but the tax was paid by the other party and has nothing to do with me."

I nodded, and then fell into silence... The buyer behind this villa is her father. The rules for buying a house are easy to understand. The higher the transaction price, the more taxes you need to pay, but her father still paid He gave her a purchase price that exceeded the market price. The love behind this was not only silent, but also very deep.

Regardless of whether Qiao Jiao knows the truth or not, I see a reasonable emotion in her. It seems that her father should love her unconditionally, pamper her, and let her be...

I have no other expectations for Qiao Jiao. I just hope that one day, she can really grow up in this small town, so that I will not live up to her father's trust in me.

This must be an extremely difficult process, so that my mood became more and more serious, and then I lit a cigarette unconsciously; Qiao Jiao sat on the bench under the willow tree, looking at the man who was being watched absentmindedly. The lake water was dyed red by the sunset, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Taking out the cigarette in my mouth, I finally asked her again: "Why did you come back with this sightseeing plane?"

Qiao Jiao looked up at me and replied: "I saw in the short video posted by others that Lu Xi left the small town on this plane. With such heavy snow, the highway must have been closed. I don't want to waste time on the national highway, so I called Guan Yubo. The plane was supposed to come back at noon, so he waited for me in Luoyang for a long time."

"How...why did you get Guan Yubo's phone call?"

"Ask Chang Yuli for it. Aren't they just growing up?"

I couldn't help but smile and replied: "You are really capable. You secretly shouted that you would fight Guan Yubo to the end, but when you really used him, you were not ambiguous at all!"

"There are many things in this world that are not black and white. I am much better at dealing with people like Guan Yubo than you, so you should learn from it with an open mind."

"Yes, if you do this, doesn't it give him a signal that we can actually be friends?"

Qiao Jiao looked at me calmly and replied: "This way he will relax his guard and maybe buy you some breathing time..."

"It's logically feasible, but it just doesn't feel very kind."

"If you really want to make a career in this small town, it's best to forget the word kindness."

After being silent for a moment, I asked again: "Did you learn these routines from your father, right?"

"I will be tougher than him if necessary."

When she said this, Qiao Jiao squinted her eyes. She didn't know if she was joking or if it was really a declaration; but I replied in a joking manner: "I think you should just quietly be a daughter." Miss, it will look cuter."

"It's absolutely impossible for me to be quiet, but if I could, I would really like to be a rich girl who just eats and waits for death like before... But, reality doesn't allow it. I'm afraid that my teammates are too weak. , too idealistic, and you will end up suffering a big loss in this small town with turbulent undercurrents..." After a pause, Qiao Jiao said to me seriously: "Han Chao, seemingly simple social relationships are actually divided into aspects. There are Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo in the plane you are in now. Many things cannot be handled with your previous understanding. You have to look at the situation in the small town from a higher dimension. If you are not in such a state yet , then I will be your eyes... to help you see clearly all the monsters and obstacles on the road to entrepreneurship."

I looked at Qiao Jiao, and suddenly I felt that she was very strange, but she turned into a ray of light again, and hit the softest place in my heart at the fastest speed. I just found that familiarity again in a trance. feeling, because what she said is what I need most now. Even if this light comes from afar, no one can refuse the warmth she brings; although Qiao Jiao is no longer the Qiao Jiao I knew before. Tender, but I still opened my heart, and in the most open state, I accepted her again, who seemed a bit ruthless, but also came with warmth.
