At 150 in the afternoon, Fang Yuan and I were the first to arrive at the teahouse, and Chen Jingming also drove there almost at the same time.

After a while, Chen Jingming took off his sunglasses and walked out of the car. Fang Yuan and I walked towards him.

I believe that Chen Jingming already knew the truth of the incident at this moment. I greeted him a little apologetically and said, "Manager Chen... what happened to Zhuomei last time..."

Before I finished speaking, Chen Jingming smiled and interrupted, "You don't need to explain to me. All the things that should be said have been told to me... The blessings depend on the blessings and the misfortune are hidden. At my age, I have already figured out many things!"

Although Chen Jingming didn't care too much, I still said "sorry" to him with guilt.

Chen Jingming patted my shoulder and said nothing more. Then the three men looked in the direction where Mi Cai would appear.

At two o'clock on time, Mi Cai appeared in front of us in her red Audi Q7, and Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming's expressions subconsciously became formal. After all, Mi Cai is an existence they need to look up to in the industry.

Finally, Mi Cai opened the car door, carried a white Chanel handbag, and walked out of the car in a formal business outfit. Chen Jingming and Fang Yuan had rich workplace experience, and walked towards Mi Cai almost at the same time with a humble smile.

However, Mi Cai and I were used to being quarreling, and subconsciously never put the halo of ceo on her, so after a half-beat slower, Chen Jingming walked towards her with the square circle.

"Mr. Mi, I'm honored to have the opportunity to meet you."

Mi Cai responded to a smile in the workplace, stretched out his hand to Chen Jingming and said, "You are a senior in the department store industry. It is my honor to have the opportunity to meet you!"

Chen Jingming may not have expected Mi Cai to be so modest and easy-going. He was stunned for a moment before holding her hand. Then Fang Yuan shook hands with Mi Cai and completed the etiquette after meeting in the workplace.

As an intermediary, I said to the three of them: "It's quite windy outside. Let's go in and have a tea and talk about the specific matters."

Chen Jingming and Fang Yuan nodded, but they didn't expect Mi Cai to ask me: "Do you want to go in too?"

"Ah?...I don't have to go in?"

"This is something inside Jomei, and you are not suitable to participate."

Looking at Mi Cai's serious expression, I thought she was right, because the negotiation process might involve the commercial secrets of the shopping malls on both sides, so I smiled and said to the three of them, "Then you talk, I'll go to the coffee shop opposite to sit for a while."

...

I asked for a cup of coffee and sat in the coffee shop. Although I was concerned about the result of the interview, I had to wait patiently.

I was a little bored while waiting, and finally remembered Jian Wei. I wanted to ask her what the situation is now. If the funds for opening an advertising company are really short of funds, I must find a way to repay the 500,000 she borrowed from me.

I found Jian Wei's number and dialed it out. It took her a long time to answer: "It's hard to imagine that you would call me on your own initiative."

I was silent for a while and asked, "Are you in Shanghai now?"

"Well, is there anything wrong?"

"I heard Yan Yan say: You are raising funds to set up an advertising company, uh... If you are in a hurry, I'll find a way to repay the 500,000 yuan recently?"

"Why did you pay it back? You still asked if you borrowed it from Mi Cai?"

Jian Wei's sharp tone made me a little surprised, and she replied for a while: "There will be a solution in the end, and I don't have to borrow it from her!"

"You don't need to worry about my business, and the funds for opening an advertising company are not a big problem for me."

"Is that so? Then you have to tell me at least how to get the funds, right?" I asked again for fear that Jian Wei would follow Le Yao's old path.

But Jian Wei seemed reluctant to talk to me about this, and then she said impatiently after she was silent: "Among my friends studying in the United States, I can get their investments. I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer?"

I don't question the authenticity of this statement, because Jian Wei's class is destined to make her more likely to get the money for starting a business than ordinary people. Not to mention investment, with her father's position in the industry, even if someone borrows her millions, she will not worry that she will not have the ability to repay.

But her always strong force made me feel depressed, so I was silent.

She said to me in a light tone again: "Zhaoyang, I lent you that 500,000 yuan to solve your urgent needs, but I just hope that you can live a more relaxed, freer and be the most authentic you, so you don't have to rush to repay, and I must have the ability to solve this entrepreneurial fund."

Jian Wei's words made me feel a little disappointed, and I even realized how unconfident I was living. After all, I was just a man who was working on the verge of danger with the help of my ex-girlfriend.

But what can I do? Society is such a reality. Only a very small number of people can get rich overnight. All I can do is to accumulate small steps in compromise and walk forward in a distance.

I finally said to Jian Wei: "I'd better say thank you, but the money you lend me did not make me feel relaxed or free. On the contrary, it was a burden. I am a man after all, eager for success and rise, but it must not be based on your rescue... I will work hard to repay the money."

This time Jian Wei was silent, and it took a long time to ask in a low voice: "Zhaoyang, I really want to know who gave you the motivation and desire to be upward now?"

This question seems to be a question to me. In fact, I had such motivation and desire a long time ago. Of course, it was just for her at that time... Now I am retrieving it again is already for life, not for someone.

He exhaled heavily from the stuffy air that had accumulated in my heart, and I smiled and said to Jian Wei, "...It was life that gave me such motivation and desire!"

...

After finishing the call with Jian Wei, I unexpectedly discovered that a beam of afternoon sunlight reflected on the glass table in front of me at some point, making the table look so crystal clear. Then I saw the reflection of the sky city in a moment of trance. Its appearance made the real world in front of me suddenly become blurred, so I briefly enjoyed ease and freedom.

Accompanied by the aroma of coffee, I think: It's really a pretty good afternoon. If Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming's job-changing business can be done on such an afternoon, it would be even more icing on the cake!

I took another sip of coffee and looked at the teahouse opposite. I don’t know how long I looked like this, but finally saw Mi Cai, Chen Jingming, Fang Yuan and the other two walking out of the teahouse one after another.

I felt a little nervous and expectant, so I immediately ran downstairs of the coffee shop, and then crossed the road where cars came and went, and came to them.

I asked Fang Yuan immediately: "How are you talking?"

Fang Yuan replied with excitement in his words: "Thank you very much for Mr. Mi for the opportunity this time."

I looked at Mi Cai, but she was very calm and had no special emotions. When she was with Fang Yuan, Chen Jingming nodded and walked towards his car.

Fang Yuan lowered his voice and said to me: "Mr. Mi has promised that Manager Chen can serve as the executive vice president of Suzhou Zhuomei Shopping Center!"

I sincerely feel happy for Chen Jingming because this position was what he dreamed of at Polytechnic Department Store.

I asked Fang Yuan again, "What about you?"

“I am the manager of the planning department.”

I was happy for Fang Yuan again, but I wondered how Mi Cai easily gave these two extremely important positions. Didn’t I encounter any resistance at all? Besides, what was the purpose of her asking me to wait for a week before meeting Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly bid farewell to Chen Jingming and Fang Yuan, and then shouted to Mi Cai who had already opened the car door: "Wait for me, I'll take your car back."

As I shouted, I quickly ran towards Mi Cai, but my desire to find out these questions became stronger!
