i'm not a bad man

Chapter 489 Shocking News

I was thinking about the layout of the small town, but what I was thinking about was the past related to this inn, and then he said to me with emotion: "Han Chao, if there hadn't been these changes, we would have done the project in Qingdao as planned. , what will it look like now?”

Lighting a cigarette, I replied: "There is a high probability that you will regret taking on this project now... Because no matter what you do, it is unlikely that it will be completed within the construction period, and you will have to pay liquidated damages."

"Yes, if you hadn't seconded two construction teams from the small town to work in shifts day and night, this inn would never have been completed before the year."

"So, not every choice is wrong. You don't have to fight so hard with Lin Sheng'en anymore. You have gained the financial freedom that ordinary people can't ask for in their lives. Compared with before, you should be living better. .”

"Yeah, if you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten that I was financially free... But, this doesn't mean much to me, because before I divorced Lin Sheng'en, I had whatever I wanted, so I It has been difficult to find material satisfaction... Human beings are really strange animals. In the eyes of others, we may live a good life, but there is a terrible emptiness in our hearts... This emptiness is probably People often say they are not satisfied with their desires... I also feel that I am quite ungrateful, since I obviously already have so much!"

"Then you should understand why I have to stay in the small town. Just like you, I fell into a vortex of desire and dissatisfaction. I want to replace Chang Tianming and the Guan family in that small town..."

"Those are the richest men in the small town. One is the richest man openly, and the other is the richest man secretly. Your ambitions are really too big now, Han Chao!... And I really don't know how you can replace them." , you don’t have the financial advantage, let alone the connection advantage, so you just have to go it alone?”

"It all depends on people. Sister Ran...just watch it."

"Aren't you afraid that others will say that you repay kindness with hatred? Chang Tianming has been kind to you."

"No one is qualified to judge me. Besides, I don't think Chang Tianming has any kindness towards me. I have always been the one saving that scenic spot..."

After saying that, I started the car again and left the inn that almost determined our fate.

……

We returned to the city again, because Ren Ran insisted on going to the most high-end "Hisense Plaza" in Qingdao to buy a meeting gift for my parents; it was here that I met Qiao Jiao who was choosing a wedding dress, and the person who had met her but had never met before. I don’t know what the doctor is called.

I stood outside the window and looked at Qiao Jiao. She was holding the wedding dress in her hand and looking back at me...

Time seemed to be frozen, until Renran pulled me, who was dull, into the bridal shop.

She smiled and said to Qiao Jiao: "Jiao Jiao, what a coincidence... Are you buying a wedding dress?"

Qiao Jiao seemed to have changed too. She didn't like to talk or smile, so facing Ren Ran's smiling face, she just nodded and called "Sister Ran".

Ren Ran gestured and said to Qiao Jiao: "Won't you introduce it to us?"

Qiao Jiao then said: "This is my...fiancé Lu Nai, he is a doctor." After that, she turned to Lu Nai and said: "This is Sister Ran. She has settled in Phuket now and was invited to attend. Our wedding... this is... Han Chao, you met at the bar that day."

Lu Nai first shook hands with Ren Ran and then extended his hand to me. I was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Ren Ran reached out and pushed me that I held his hand... Ren Ran is a naturally curious person. When Qiao Jiao went to try on wedding dresses, she was chatting with Lu Nai. It was because of their chat that I learned that Lu Nai and Qiao Jiao were a real match. He was not only a doctor, but also had a doctor in his family. He is one of the few private tertiary-level hospitals in the country, and is also involved in the manufacturing and sales of other medical equipment. He can be regarded as an out-and-out boss in the medical industry. Qiao Jiao and her mother are also doctors. No wonder she likes him so much. Because she got the approval of Qiao Jiao's mother, this marriage came about so naturally.

……

Qiao Jiao changed into her wedding dress and walked out, stunning everyone including the store clerk. However, facing these envious looks, she still did not smile. She just stood in front of the mirror and looked at the woman in the wedding dress. Own.

Because of this, I finally saw her in her wedding dress, and then, in an inappropriate way, I remembered the time we spent together in the small town...

Qiao Jiao suddenly turned around and walked to Lu Nai's side, showing her first smile since we met, and asked: "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, very beautiful."

"Then this is the one."

"Okay, I'll go check out."

Lu Nai walked to the checkout counter of the bridal shop, and Qiao Jiao looked at me. I avoided her gaze, and then said to Ren Ran: "Time is very tight. If you are sure to follow me to pick up my parents, Just hurry up.”

After saying that, I walked out of the store. Ren Ran made a phone call gesture to Qiao Jiao, and hurriedly followed me.

The window is like a mirror, reflecting Qiao Jiao in her wedding dress. She is motionless, frozen there like a portrait, and gradually disappears from my sight...

……

At 03:30, I took Ren Ran and met Wu Luoge, my parents, and Chaochao at the airport on time. I introduced Ren Ran to them, and Ren Ran praised Wu Luoge in person, and took the initiative to talk to Wu Luoge. Wu Luoge asked for her contact information because he felt that Wu Luoge was a myth in the investment world. She happened to have a lot of spare money and had investment needs, and wanted to ask Wu Luoge about investment matters.

Based on my respect for Ren Ran, Wu Luoge also respected Ren Ran. On the way back to the city, he told Ren Ran a lot about his investment experience until someone called him.

Wu Luoge took out his cell phone, took a look at it, then handed it to me and said, "It's a call from the leader of the small town. He probably wants to keep my health care project in the small town."

I nodded and didn't say anything more. Wu Luoge also answered the phone the next moment. At first, his tone was coping, but suddenly it turned into shock, and then he chatted a few words with the person on the phone.

He stared at me for a long time before he said: "Han Chao, Chang Tianming was arrested!... It was said that someone reported that he sold drugs in an entertainment venue in a small town more than ten years ago... He started his career in the early years At that time, I also had the nature of a gangster... The purpose of the leader calling me was to let me know in advance, saying that if Chang Tianming was determined to be involved in gangs, all the shares he held in the scenic spot would be publicly auctioned. If I If you are willing to take over the scenic spot, the controlling shareholder and actual controller of the scenic spot will change... This matter is a bit unbelievable. Has this small town been poked into a hornet's nest? Now even Chang Tianming has been arrested, but who will be here? When is the time to uncover his old records from more than ten years ago? The person who knows about this kind of thing and has actual evidence must be someone very close to him and someone he trusts, right?"

I was stunned for a while before replying: "Maybe it's Guan Yubo's side... I talked to Chang Tianming before, and Chang Tianming always emphasized that even if he had grudges with the Guan family, he would not kill them. Forced on the road, before, I thought it was because he was taking into account his past relationship, but now I finally understand, it’s because he also has the same weight of leverage in the Guan family’s hands, and he doesn’t dare to fight to the death.”
