i'm not a bad man

Chapter 303 Time flies
Time seems to have been swaying while Qiao Jiao and I were sitting on the seesaw, so much so that a month later, I still often think of that night, my torn trousers, red long johns, and the ups and downs of the two people sitting there. The teetering seesaw and the starry night sky; it was on that night that I got rid of the heavy burdens in my heart and the fear of the unknown, and began to do everything I should do in a down-to-earth manner; Qiao The same goes for Jiao. She went to Chang Tianming’s friend’s hotel and followed a star pastry chef, and began to learn how to make all kinds of pastries. She never stopped making them, no matter the wind or rain, and Chang Yuli and I became her As a test subject, she had to eat the pastries she brought back from the hotel every day. From the beginning when it was difficult to swallow, to the recent gradual anticipation, her pastry-making skills have grown at a speed that can be seen with our naked eyes...

No wonder her dad said more than once that Qiao Jiao is an extremely smart girl. As long as she wants to do something, she can do it well. Even if it is something as informal as playing games, she is still a member of the team. Leaders, as well as civil servants that ordinary people have almost no chance of being admitted to, are also within her reach.

If she could manage her emotions well, she might really be a treasure girl.

But she still couldn't manage her emotions well, so in the past month, we still had many small conflicts over the trivial matters of life, but they were all forgotten the next day. Sometimes I I feel that I and Qiao Jiao are quite similar, both are a little emotional, but neither hold grudges.

……

At this time, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the small town was busier than ever before, because many young people who could not find employment opportunities in the small town to work outside had come back one after another. The entertainment industry in the small town suddenly ushered in an explosive flow of customers, so much so that Even KTVs and bars, which are usually not visited by many people, are hard to find a table.

It just so happened that today was Heizu's birthday. Several people wandered the streets for a long time, but they couldn't find a place to celebrate his birthday.

Speaking of Black Foot, I have been working from dawn to dusk this month. In this month, we completed the redesign and planning of the entire scenic spot and identified 26 B&B investment projects, 12 of which exceeded RMB 500 million. The remaining investments are in the range of 1000 million to [-] million, and no investment scale is particularly small, and this is all to cater to the theme model I proposed...

Among these projects, the more efficient ones have already begun construction, including the RV-themed B&B in Blackfoot. The construction team has already arrived and is expected to complete all the main construction as early as next summer.

Qiao Jiao's B&B is still in the design stage, and she is not in a hurry about it, because instead of simply coming here to make money, she wants an ideal B&B, hidden in the mountains and next to a lake. , one scene in ten steps, one painting in one hundred steps. If you want to realize this ideal, you really need some patience in the design, and you also have to be willing to invest. So just for the design fee, Qiao Jiao paid More than 50 yuan was invested.

……

In addition to these developments, the competition between Guan Yubo and Chang Tianming on the road expansion project has also entered a fierce state. The two men have been going back and forth for several rounds, so that the project that should have been finalized long ago was not resolved when they disagreed with each other. Due to the dispute that I was willing to let go, it has been postponed until now, and there is a tendency to postpone it in the future.

Chang Tianming was serious about Guan Yubo, and the anger of the richest man was no joke. The gangs involved in the crime that had beaten Chang Chang for loan sharking were arrested by the police with thunderous force, but for Chang Chang, Chang Tianming still made no further moves and just left him alone. So last week, Chang Chang was beaten up by a group of people for no apparent reason after drinking. It was unclear whether it was from Guan Yubo. In short, Chang Chang became an out-and-out hapless ghost. Every time there was a slight disturbance between Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo, he was like a frightened lamb. Once, he even hid at a friend's house in the countryside, a I haven't dared to show up in the small town for many weeks.

These are all things that everyone can see on the surface. As for what is invisible, only they themselves know what kind of competition happened between Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo; anyway, this road expansion project has been stranded like this, and no one can He failed to defeat the opponent with overwhelming force.

There are rumors from the outside world that this is a confrontation between the old and new richest men. The talk is very mysterious and there are various versions. Regarding this, Qiao Jiao and I listen to it with the mentality of bystanders. Anyway, as long as we are not affected, no matter what the situation is. We don't care about the fight between Tianming and Guan Yubo; in fact, we did spend this month in peace and quiet. It was probably because of Qiao Jiao's active show of weakness when we had hot pot last time.

……

The four of us, Chang Yuli, Qiao Jiao, and Hei Zu, visited almost all the streets of the small town. Finally, after Chang Yuli used his friendship, we booked a booth in a quiet bar.

Qiao Jiao gave Heizu a box of cakes made by herself, and I gave Heizu a figure of Blackfoot Sanji that I bought for a lot of money. Chang Yuli seemed to have a habit of giving away lighters, continuing from the previous chapter After giving me a Dupont lighter the first time, this time Heizu also gave me a Dupont lighter for his birthday, so I didn’t favor one thing over the other.

Speaking of Chang Yuli, he has really changed from the inside out. His temperament is almost no longer the same as when I first met him. At that time, he had a somewhat inferior self-esteem, but as his eyes were healed, his rich second-generation aura returned. He didn't even think much of Guan Yubo in his words. No wonder he was like this. Not only did he regain confidence in his appearance, but Chang Tianming's change in attitude towards him also gave him a lot of confidence; Chang Tianming no longer uses him as a driver. All matters related to dealing with relevant departments in the scenic area are left to him. He does a pretty good job. This makes Chang Tianming earn some face, so now he is willing to take the initiative in dealing with the outside world. Talk to others about this son he had forgotten.

Chang Yuli is a little swollen now, but he still respects me a lot, and I am also the only person besides Chang Tianming who can control him. He always comes when called. Except for Chang Tianming and me, Qiao Jiao can't do it. ;Last time there was a shortage of flour for making bread, Qiao Jiao called him several times and asked him to go to the supermarket to buy a bag, but she couldn't get him to shout. She was so angry that Qiao Jiao almost broke up with him, but in the end I sent it to him.

I have talked so much, but I am actually talking about my recent life in the small town, as well as the changes that have happened to the few of us and the relationship between us.

In addition, Chang Tianming is really kind to Qiao Jiao, his goddaughter. He knows that Qiao Jiao is from Qingdao and likes to eat seafood. If nothing happens, he asks Chang Yuli to order fresh seafood for her from the seaside and transport it to the small town by air. The food was all fresh food; Chang Tianming's little wife had nothing to say to Qiao Jiao, and she always gave Qiao Jiao cosmetics and other things. Qiao Jiao almost couldn't help but call her "godmother" several times. Qiao Jiao She said that if this "godmother" hadn't been only six years older than her, she would have really shouted out. It was probably because Chang Tianming and his wife were so good to Qiao Jiao that they made the relationship between Chang Yuli and Qiao Jiao worse. I'm a little nervous. Chang Yuli didn't treat Qiao Jiao like this when she first came here. He used to be responsive to her requests.

Although Qiao Jiao and Chang Yuli are just a pair of siblings, it fully shows that as long as the previous generation is too partial, the next generation will really not be able to live in harmony.

...I was just looking at the band on the stage in a daze, while thinking about the recent events. It wasn't until everyone raised their glasses that I came back to my senses. I also filled the glasses, and then after clinking the glasses, I drank. And done.

Qiao Jiao seemed to be unaccustomed to drinking beer with this flavor, so after putting down the cup, she said to Chang Yuli: "Yuli, go out and buy a box of 1664 pink beer. The taste of this wine is too strong. I can't drink it." Go down."

"Aren't you going yourself?"

"Can I carry a box of wine?"

"I won't go... I won't go... I won't go... What can you do to me?"

Chang Yuli shook his head, as if he was deliberately trying to make Qiao Jiao angry. Qiao Jiao didn't have a good temper either, so she immediately raised an empty bottle to scare Chang Yuli. Chang Yuli actually stretched his head over and said, "Smash it." Ah, if you knock me out, my dad will fly you the seafood from Sanya tomorrow, but no one will pick it up."

"Chang Yuli, I really know what it means that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water..."

"Wrong, I'm called confident... If you're capable, don't be greedy for that seafood, just give me a slap on the head."

Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to escalate, Heizu quickly took over and said: "It's my birthday today, so you two should stop fighting. This matter is so easy to handle. Find a waiter and ask him to buy it outside..."

After saying that, Heizu called the waiter and told the waiter what kind of wine he wanted to drink. He also gave the waiter a considerable tip. Chang Yuli was a friend of the boss, so he didn't care if we bought wine from outside that was not available in the bar. the behavior of.

I was the only one who didn't speak, not because I couldn't blend in with them, but because at this time, I thought of Luxi again, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, because we haven't seen each other for a full month.

Just last night, I sent her a message telling her that I missed her, but she has not responded until now...

I don’t know what’s wrong with her. Ever since her senior brother fell off his horse last time and she rushed over to visit me, she suddenly became very indifferent to me, as indifferent as she was when we first met, even though she would sometimes reply The information was just a few perfunctory sentences.

This makes me feel that celebrities are really different from ordinary people. Their relationships don't seem to last forever. Even though she and I have had so many extraordinary experiences, they still fade away quickly...

……

In a daze, Qiao Jiao, who was sitting next to me, suddenly gave me a kick and said: "Last night, I contacted Lu Xi... She said that she would come to the small town tomorrow to shoot a promotional video for the scenic spot with Zuo Xiaowei. I said before that when she arrives in the small town, the three of us will have a dinner together. Does this still count?" (Follow the author's Weixin public account: ***, reply "B&B" to view the prototype of Tank Inn B&B. Reply You can view the character pictures of "Lu Xi" and "Qiao Jiao"!

I didn't answer Qiao Jiao immediately. I suddenly remembered that Zuo Xiaowei's album was going to be online in three days. I rushed to shoot a promotional video with Lu Xi at this time, most likely to take advantage of the situation to promote her new album. .

At work, Lu Xi is still the same Lu Xi, step-by-step and following the rules, but to me, it feels like sometimes he is on a whim, sometimes he is indifferent for no reason, and there is no fixed look. This can't help but make me a little depressed; and Qiao Jiao was last night. I contacted her last night, but she replied to Qiao Jiao but ignored me...

This really messed with my mentality, so after I drank a full glass of beer, I finally said to Qiao Jiao: "I'm not free tomorrow, let's get together."

"Okay, I like the way you don't mean what you say, so I won't call you tomorrow."

I looked at Qiao Jiao in astonishment and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Compared to Lu Xi, she seems to be better at messing with my mentality...
