No wonder she didn't hear any of the loud speakers he found to play sounds in her dream. They were indeed too far away.

Chen Xu asked curiously, "Why do you live so far away from the company?"

"The house here was left to me by my mother. Living here always brings me a sense of nostalgia."

Chen Xu heard something from her words and asked in surprise, "Auntie?"

"She has passed away." Luo Xiyun's expression was calm.

Chen Xu apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"It doesn't matter. She's been gone for ten years." Luo Xiyun looked in the direction of the community, paused, and said in a very soft voice, "But in my heart, she has never left."

Chen Xu held her hand tightly and said nothing.

The two stood quietly for a while.

Luo Xiyun looked at him and said, "Well, I'll go back first."

Chen Xu said, "Why don't you invite me upstairs to sit for a while?"

"How can you go to a girl's house for the first date?" Luo Xiyun glared at him, loosened his hand, and said, "I'm leaving."

"Um."

Chen Xu watched her figure disappear at the entrance of the community and thought to himself, it seems that I have to buy a car quickly.

When they came back today, Luo Xiyun did not drive, they took a taxi.

He knew that she was being considerate, but it would be very inconvenient for her to go to work since she lived so far away.

He calculated that it had been about three months since he opened the noodle shop, and the business was getting better and better. He now had a deposit of 200,000 yuan, of which 150,000 yuan was earned from the noodle shop and 50,000 yuan was the prize money from the dart competition. He had already earned back the money he invested.

However, he felt that a car worth two hundred thousand was still a little short for Luo Xiyun.

"There's a dart tournament next week with a prize of $100,000. If you can win, you'll have $300,000."

He remembered the message Jia Jia sent him two days ago, and he was already thinking about it.

"However, if you want to gain recognition from her family, you have to work harder."

He looked at the high-end residential area across the street. The housing prices there were estimated to be tens of thousands per square meter. With his wealth, he couldn't even afford a toilet.

"It seems that opening a branch store should be put on the agenda."

He stood there, thinking for a while before leaving.

He left by taxi. After getting in the car, he took out his mobile phone and took a look. He saw that there was no reply to the friend request on QQ.

"What's going on?"

He thought of Bai Jinxuan's deleted Weibo post and had a bad feeling.

However, even if he was worried, he had no other options but to worry. He had no way to get any news about her, so he could only keep an eye on her Weibo.

…………

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

As soon as Luo Xiyun opened the door, he saw Liu Yumeng standing in front of the living room with her hands on her hips, a half-smile on her face.

She asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"What time is it?" Liu Yumeng said unhappily.

Luo Xiyun put the bag away and said, "By the way, please take me to the company tomorrow morning."

"Where's your car?"

"I left the company and never came back."

"Why? Are you afraid that he will feel inferior when he sees your new car?"

Luo Xiyun looked at her strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry?"

Liu Yumeng walked to the sofa and sat down. She sighed and said, "I suddenly feel a little regretful. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to see Chen Xu that day."

"Why do you suddenly think so?"

"I didn't think that you would be taken advantage of by him. What if... forget it, it's too late to talk about this now." Liu Yumeng shook her head in distress.

Luo Xiyun sat next to her and asked, "What happened?"

Liu Yumeng looked at her and said, "If Mr. Luo objects to your being together, what will you do?"

"No." Luo Xiyun said, "He promised me that no matter who I date, he won't stop me."

Liu Yumeng looked at her confident look and said with a wry smile, "I hope I am just worrying too much."

Yesterday, after she returned home, her brother talked to her for a while and hinted that Mr. Luo was very concerned about his daughter's emotional affairs. This caused her to worry.

…………

The next morning, Liu Kun came to the building again and went to the top floor.

This time, the secretary did not go in to report, but took him directly to Yang Jinxia's office. He was a little happy, which meant that his status in Yang Jinxia's heart had improved.

When I entered, I heard Yang Jinxia giving instructions to a secretary, "...Hurry up on the amateur darts tournament. It would be best if it could be started within this month. Okay, you can leave first."

"Yes, Mr. Yang." The secretary took note and left.

"Sit down." Yang Jinxia said to Liu Kun who came in, and took the lead in sitting down at the tea table. This time, she did not do it herself, but her secretary made tea on the side.

Liu Kun nodded to the secretary. He had never seen this person before and this person might be a new recruit.

He asked, "Mr. Yang, are you also interested in darts?"

"Well, I've recently fallen in love with this sport, so I asked someone to organize a competition." Yang Jinxia said, and then got down to business. "You came here this time to cooperate with Fangdong Group, right?"

"Don't worry, a deal this big won't be easily accomplished."

Liu Kun finally understood that the rumors were indeed true and said, "I feel relieved now."

Then he said hesitantly, "I heard that you are planning to invest in the field of artificial intelligence."

"You are well-informed. You have this plan."

“Do you think this industry is promising?”

"Of course, this is the era of big data, and artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important."

Liu Kun looked into her sparkling eyes, thoughtfully.

Since Yang Jinxia took charge of Jinxiu Investment, she has never messed up an investment. Since she is optimistic about this industry, maybe there is really great potential for it.

Liu Kun drank two cups of tea and left.

After going downstairs, he called his secretary and said, "Please check the situation of the amateur darts competition sponsored by Jinxiu Investment."

After a while, the secretary called back and said, "The full name of that amateur darts tournament is the Feiyun Cup Amateur Darts Tournament. It is sponsored and organized by Feiyun Group, a subsidiary of Jinxiu Investment. It is advertised as creating the world's largest amateur darts tournament. It is open to applications from all over the world, and the first prize is as high as one million."

Liu Kun remembered that Feiyun Group was a sporting goods company, so it was reasonable for it to be the first to do so.

However, he always felt that things were not that simple. How could someone like Yang Jinxia personally care about such a small darts competition?

Moreover, when he met Yang Jinxia this time, he discovered many abnormalities about her. She no longer made tea, nor did she take care of the potted plants herself. There was a dart target on the wall, which looked out of place with the entire room.

The most important thing is the change in her temperament. She is no longer as cold and aloof as before. She is more friendly.

Also, femininity.

His intuition told him that she had a man.

Who could it be? His expression was terribly gloomy.

…………

At the same time, Chen Xu was moving to a house just two streets away, about ten minutes’ walk away, which was very convenient.

The house is on the top floor and you can go up by elevator.

As soon as Chen Ziqi entered the house, he fell in love with it and ran to the terrace outside. There were wooden boards on the ground, and when he stepped on them, they made a thudding sound.

She stood on the edge of the terrace, looking out, taking in the street below, and said in surprise, "Such a nice place, and it's rented so cheaply?"

"This was originally a wedding room. I heard that it cost a lot of money to renovate it. If the family wasn't in a hurry to go abroad, they wouldn't be in a hurry to rent it out. They asked for a two-year contract, and the rent is negotiable. I thought it was good, so I signed it."

"It's more than good, you got a great bargain, do you know that?" Chen Ziqi turned around and looked at the potted plants on both sides of the terrace. There were many green plants planted there, which looked particularly comfortable.

"However, it will probably be very hot here in the summer, and running the air conditioner will cost a lot of electricity."

"Your noodle shop is doing so well now, why are you still concerned about the electricity bill?" Chen Ziqi ran inside, looked at the two rooms, and said, "I want this room."

"Okay." Chen Xu didn't care. The two rooms were similar except for the decoration styles. He moved his things to his own room.

They went back and forth several times and finally finished moving everything.

There are all kinds of furniture and appliances here, so you don't need to bring anything. I just brought some clothes and some daily necessities.

After packing up almost everything, the two sat on the sofa in the living room to rest.

"Chen Xu, how is Bai Jinxuan doing?" Chen Ziqi asked curiously.

"What?" Chen Xu pretended to be stupid. He was too excited that day and let something slip in front of her. It was too late to regret now, but he would not admit such a thing. Because it was difficult to explain what was going on between him and Bai Jinxuan. He just pretended to be stupid.

"Didn't you add her on QQ? Did you accept?"

"Who said I was going to add it?"

"Are you trying to pretend to have amnesia now?"

Chen Xu simply ignored her.

Chen Ziqi looked a little angry. After a while, he rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think she will be put on ice by her agency?"

Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat. This was also what he was worried about. He said, "No way, why would the agency freeze her out? Wouldn't that cut off their own financial resources? They definitely wouldn't be that stupid."

"Anyway, I don't think it's that simple. From yesterday till now, Bai Jinxuan has not shown up, nor has he made any comments online. Even the Weibo post has been deleted."

"Maybe this was all an elaborate hype?"

Chen Ziqi looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you still pretending?"

"What are you pretending for?"

"Aren't you the hero in Bai Jinxuan's story?"

This time, it was Chen Xu's turn to be "shocked" and asked, "Why do you have this illusion?"

"Yesterday you clearly..."

"That was for something else. Her words touched me." Chen Xu said, shaking his head. "You just have a very wild imagination. Think about it, how could I possibly know her?"

"But..." Chen Ziqi knew that what he said made sense, but she felt something was wrong, "Didn't you admit it?"

"When did I admit it?"

"At that time, I said she was a big star and was busy with work..."

"Did you say that?" Chen Xu looked confused. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said at all."

Chen Ziqi was confused by him. Could it be that he really made a mistake? PS: There is only one update today, and I owe another one. I will resume normal updates tomorrow. Thank you for your support these days.
