Qiao Zhixia followed Xu Xiaolan to a three-story European-style building in front of a park.

"Are you talking about here?" Qiao Zhixia asked uncertainly.

"Yes! This used to be a park activity center, but now they've moved out and it's rented out. Don't you think this is suitable for a garden restaurant?"

Xu Xiaolan thought of Qiao Zhixia's flower planting. If this place was built into a restaurant and planted with flowers, it would be hard not to be popular with the taste of Jingyang cuisine and the environmental advantages.

Qiao Zhixia also thought of this.

This location is close to the central city, with convenient transportation, facing the street and backed by the park, which is a quiet place in the hustle and bustle.

They pushed open the door and went in to take a look. The area of ​​each floor was about 330 square meters. The structural areas of the three floors were not much different, and each had a large arc-shaped terrace of about 30 square meters.

The total area of ​​the three-story building is about 1,200 square meters. There is also a garden facing the lake behind the building.

"Great place, let's find time to rent a unit and negotiate the price..."

Two months later, Qiao Zhixia found time to sign a cooperation agreement with Yu Jinghai.

"All funds will be credited within three days." Qiao Zhixia shook hands with Wang and said goodbye.

For the next three days, Yu Jinghai felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Facing the pairs of eager eyes in the factory, he did not dare to look them in the eye.

As long as the funds have not arrived, there is no way to put your mind at ease.

Especially when meeting an investor like Qiao Zhixia, it is really too mysterious.

Every second of waiting was torture, until the afternoon of the third day, when the treasurer ran over excitedly to tell Yu Jinghai.

"The money has arrived, a full thirty thousand——"

A dozen workers were excited, and Yu Jinghai's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

She took off her glasses and sat on the dusty stone steps, with red at the corners of her eyes.

My hard work can save you...

After a few quiet days, Qiao Zhixia almost forgot to compensate Qin Yunlang for the car repair fee.

Until then, I received a call from Qin Yunlang's assistant at home.

"Ms. Qiao, the damage assessment of our car has just been received. Please take some time to come over! I'll give you the address of the company..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhixia was still a little confused.

What is Qin Yunlang doing? Can't he just tell her how much money it is and she can take it directly? Why does she have to make two trips to do this?

There is no way. She promised to compensate me first, so I have to endure it.

So she chose the afternoon when she had no classes and went to Qin Yunlang's company according to the address provided by Qin Yunlang's assistant.

Qin Yunlang's technology company is located in a building in the city center. After successfully gaining a foothold in Guangzhou in the past two years, it has successively won several large foreign orders.

Based on the current development momentum, even if he did not take over the family group from his father-in-law, he would be able to surpass the Qin family in less than ten years.

It's a pity... I won't live that long.

"Boss, here comes Miss Qiao." Assistant Lin pushed the door open and came in.

Qin Yunlang collected his thoughts and said, "Let her in."

When Qiao Zhixia entered Qin Yunlang's office, she saw the man leaning on the boss's chair, his long legs crossed, his long, slender fingers crossed on his chest.

The posture is relaxed yet somewhat unrestrained.

Qiao Zhixia was distracted for a moment when she saw 놛 like this, because she thought of 깊 Yibao, the little boy who not only looked exactly like 놛's father, but even his demeanor was the same.

Genes are so magical and powerful. Men only provide a seed, so how come the child she gave birth to after nine months of pregnancy looks so much like the father?

Fortunately, she still has a little Yangzai. Although Yangzai's face also has the shadow of Qin Yunlang, he looks more like her.

"Come?" Qin Yunlang turned the chair and raised his hand to motion for her to sit in front of him.

Qiao Zhixia shook off the messy thoughts in her head and sat down in front of him with confidence.

"How much will it cost to repair it?" she asked as she opened the door.

Qin Yunlang stared at her with his deep eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had an unspeakable sorrow that could not be relieved.

"I don't want to talk to you about money today."

"What? Then you asked me to come over again?" Qiao Zhixia really couldn't guess what this man was thinking. She always felt that something was strange after this meeting.

She clearly felt that 깊놛 was sometimes close and sometimes far away, unpredictable.

Just like now, she always feels that there is a thick fog around her that cannot be dissolved, which is depressing and dull.

She frowned slightly, "Qin Yunlang, are you okay?"

Qin Yunlang bent his head sexily and gave a charming smile, "Do you care about me?"

Qiao Zhixia was in a trance again. This guy really looked like her son. She was confused all the time.

"You'd better tell me the cost of repairing the car! I'll bring it all." She patted the bag in her hand and got back to the topic.

Qin Yunlang stopped smiling and looked serious. "You are a woman, walking around with a bag of cash? What if you are robbed by a motorcycle gang?"

Qiao Zhixia didn't expect 놛 to say this. 놛 looked a little angry, as if 놛 was scolding her.

What's this? Didn't you ask her to come?

Qin Yunlang seemed to realize this as well. He pushed Qiao Zhixia's bag back and said seriously and gently:

"Based on the relationship between us, I won't take your money."

The relationship between them? This was indeed a bit ambiguous, and Qiao Zhixia could only think about that night with a guilty conscience.

But what Qin Yunlang thought of was the time when he worked with her in that poor village, counting stars and catching fireflies.

The moon in that country is so big and round, and the little girl’s smile is so beautiful and sweet.

Even though it's only one year, it's enough to warm this fleeting life.

"If you're sure you don't want money, then I'll take it back." Qiao Zhixia asked tentatively.

"You don't have to pay, just go on a date with me and I'll give you 1,000 each time until 10,000 is used up." Qin Yunlang had a smile on his face, but his expectant eyes were particularly serious.

Qiao Zhixia stared at 놛 with her big almond-shaped eyes. 놛 is really good at making arrangements. One thousand per date, doesn't that mean she has to date 뀀10 times? She has money and she doesn't need to pay, so why would she sell her body?

"I don't have time to date. I have classes." She refused bluntly, "Besides, don't you have a date yet? I don't date a man who has a date."

"I'll pick you up after class. I'm single, so the date is set, starting tomorrow."

This was the first time that Qin Yunlang showed his strong and overbearing side in front of her, and Qiao Zhixia thought she had heard it wrongly.

She doesn't even care, so how can she make such a decision?

"Come on, I'll take you home. A date is not dating, don't think too much about it." Qin Yunlang stood up and strode to her, wanting to take her home personally.

When Qiao Zhixia thought of her two little kids at home, almost every cell in her body resisted.

She immediately refused: "No, go ahead and do your work! I can call a taxi myself."

She turned around and walked away, but because she was in a hurry, her left foot tripped over her right foot, and she almost fell when she lost her balance. Fortunately, Qin Yunlang was quick to hold her shoulders.

"Listen, it's not safe for you to carry cash alone." Qin Yunlang's low and gentle tone seemed to have a bewitching magic, and she refused.

So, she had to leave with 놛. On the way, she told 놛 a random address, as long as she could trick 놛 into going there.

If she really let him go back with her and found two little cubs, would she still be able to live a peaceful life?

"When I get there, just find a place to drop me off in front!" Qiao Zhixia pointed to the old alley on the side and signaled Qin Yunlang to stop the car.

The car slowly stopped by the roadside. She tried to unbuckle the safety buckle, but it got stuck instead.

"I'll do it." Qin Yunlang's warm body pressed towards her, and his cheek lightly brushed the tip of her nose.

As their breaths entangled, she seemed to be able to hear the frantic beating of her own heart.

"Okay." He unbuckled his seat belt, but stopped in front of her when he turned around.

The two of them were so close that her eyelashes could brush his face. She leaned back in the chair, but there was no way to retreat.

"You're hiding from me?" His breath hit her face.

She avoided the burning gaze, and the ambiguous air made her face red as her eyes followed him.

"no."

"Then you don't dare to look at me?" As he spoke, his voice became a little hoarse again.

놛's lips were about to touch her face. She held her breath, opened the car door with her right hand and almost ran away.

Qin Yunlang chuckled and got out of the car to walk her to the door, "I'll take you there..."

"I'll go first, see you next time!" Qiao Zhixia didn't give him a chance and turned around and ran away.

Qin Yunlang frowned in confusion, her guilt was almost written on her face, and she vaguely guessed something.

After Qiao Zhixia ran out of Qin Yunlang's sight, she stuffed the money into the space when no one was paying attention, and then turned in another direction to go home.

She didn't notice that there was a motorcycle following her, and the man sitting on the back was approaching her with an iron bar...
