This night continued to move forward in a gorgeous and sad posture. My eyelids gradually became heavier. Finally, I forgot to cover myself with the warm quilt and leaned against the bed and fell asleep. The warm wind from the air conditioner outlet kept swaying on me, which made me lucky that I couldn't feel the desolation of the night. So, I spent this night peacefully in my sleep. Yes, the more things I face in reality, the smaller the gaps in my dreams. I rarely dreamed during this period.

In the following time, I was busy with the micro-films that Luku Company will be investing in, and the development of the "literary and artistic road" around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The company has gradually gotten on the right track through these frequent big moves. I became fulfilled and tired, looking for an opportunity to release everything in my fatigue.

It was another after get off work night. I used to light a cigarette and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking into the distance of the city. Every time at this time, I was empty, so that everything in front of me was illusory except the dazzling light.

Halfway through the smoke, the hazy street scene suddenly became real. I could even see the signboard of the snack bar a hundred meters away. I remembered that it was already dinner time, so even the feeling of loneliness became real. I really couldn't remember who could accompany me to have a dinner that was not restricted by time.

The ringtone of the cell phone came from my desk again. I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand, came to the desk and picked it up and looked at it. It was called by Yiqing, the manager of the "Empty City". I hurriedly answered it. She said to me: "Mr. Zhao, there is a woman who is interested in the Empty City and wants to understand the conditions for transfer. Do you have time to come and talk to her in person?"

I murmured in my heart: "Will this woman who came out halfway be the one who left that money in the empty city? I hope it's not her, but her heart is under the limit!"

Yi Qing on the other end of the phone asked, "Mr. Zhao, why don't you talk? Do you have no time?"

I came to my senses and decided to go to the truth first, and replied: "You ask her to wait for me in the restaurant, and I'll go there now."

......

After leaving the company, I headed straight to the "empty city". After experiencing traffic jams on the road, I arrived half an hour later, but the woman did not leave, and was still patiently waiting in the restaurant. All I saw was her back.

I confirmed to the store manager Yiqing, "Is she going to take over the empty city?"

Yiqing nodded, then led me to the woman and said to her: "Hello, Miss, this is Mr. Zhao from our company. If you have any questions about taking over the restaurant, please consult him."

The woman turned her head and looked at me, and she was still smiling like a signboard. I was surprised. I was not in front of me in red. Who was the woman in red who I met when I was in Xitang?

"Mr. Zhao, are you surprised?"

I nodded and replied, "So it's you who want to pick up our restaurant!!"

"Yes, I'm very interested... Tell me about your transfer conditions."

I didn't rush to answer, so I sent Yiqing away, sat down opposite her, and asked in a low voice: "How did you know that this restaurant is going to be transferred?"

"It was told by Miss Mi (Mi Cai)."

"Then she didn't tell you why I wanted to transfer it?"

"I said it."

"Then why are you here to join in the fun!...I don't believe that your famous Tianyang Group will be interested in such a small restaurant!"

"So I'm here to disrupt the situation!!"

Her overly straightforward answer immediately choked me and replied for a while: "Mr. An, you can give up your hands, can you?"

"Would I like it?"

"If you don't want to, I won't transfer it to you, and you can't help it!"

"That's right." The woman in red said, and her expression became serious, saying, "I was just entrusted by General Mi to persuade you not to insist on leading out the person who left a sum of money in the empty city. Because emotional matters must follow the principle of letting things go, and the truth that is forced to be obtained is often accompanied by pain."

"Why did Micai ask you? If she really objected to this matter, she could tell me what she wanted."

The woman in red shrugged and replied, "You may not be willing to listen to her words!"

"Mr. An, are you here to make fun of it? Can I just listen to what you said?"

The woman in red glared at me: "I don't know what's wrong!"

I was unmoved, but instead approached her and asked with an oppressive look on my face: "Can you leave the 100,000 yuan behind you, Mr. An?... So you are here to cure the aftermath and despair in your hope?"

The woman in red looked natural, then full of disdain, and replied: "Mr. Zhao, you are a screenwriter, and you can even think of such a bloody plot? ... Do you think I, An XX, have such a chance to do such a praiseworthy thing?"

"There are so many coincidental things in this world, and you often appear in Suzhou. I believe there is still a certain chance. After all, there are not many people who can throw so much money at will and have noble character!"

The woman in red smiled and said, "You said that, I hope that I would be the one who left that money in the empty city, especially after the money has become a bunch of numbers, who would not want to be a person with noble character... It's a pity that it's not me!!"

I looked at her with a deep expression and said, "I found that you women in high positions have a characteristic. You always feel that you can predict the future and then obstruct others' execution based on your own judgment. But I want to ask, things always have two sides. If the person who left behind 100,000 yuan and the man in life who missed it because of your obstruction, wouldn't that be a very regrettable thing?"

"What you said makes sense. Women like Mi Cai and I have indeed developed the habit of liking to judge and dominate others in their careers. Often, these judgments do not have a reliable basis, but we still believe in our intuition."

"But the judgments made based on your intuition only apply to shopping malls and not to life!"

"I don't want to debate with you."

"Then I'll treat you to something. After drinking, don't get involved, can you?"

The woman in red glared at me and said, "Why is this a fool? If you insist on not selling this restaurant to me, can I still snatch it with you?... But Mi Cai is right. You man looks erratic, but once you decide something, you are much more obsessed than ordinary people. In our Yangzhou dialect, you are just a straightforward and stubborn!"

I did not respond to her comments about myself, and went to the bar personally to brew her a cup of pure milk without sugar, and she did not argue with me about whether to fake transfers in the empty city. This easy compromise made me feel that there might be more important things for her to look for me.
