    ?

    When spring, which always lacks poetry, comes, Gong Xiaojun doesn't realize it at all. He has entered a state of ecstasy at work. Only the day before yesterday, Gong Xiaojun can finally relax and take a rest. Everything before the opening of the Educated Youth Restaurant  The preparations are all ready, just wait for Liu Fukang to open the door with a word.  At this time, the old pomegranate tree in the yard sprouted new shoots, and clusters of purple-red tender leaves sparkled in the sun.

    Yesterday, the postman delivered an invitation to Gong Xiaojun. He opened it and saw that a cosmetics company had opened, and he was invited to attend the opening ceremony today.  He was a little baffled, and after thinking about it for several times, he didn't think of any relationship with this cosmetics company, so he suspected that the postman had delivered the wrong letter. This kind of wrong letter delivery has become commonplace for postmen, just like sending  Wrong letter was his job.  Last year, there was also the matter of sending funeral telegrams from other courtyards to the palace garden.  However, Gong Xiaojun took the invitation card and read it again and again, his name was clearly written on it, and the house number, including the south room in the courtyard, was written in detail.  So, who will send the invitation?

    Gong Xiaojun got up early this morning and didn't sleep like he did two days ago. He waited for the sun to dry his butt before getting out of bed with a yawn, because he had already decided to attend the opening ceremony of this cosmetics company.  Confused, let's see who the person who sent the invitation is. The second educated youth restaurant is about to open, and Liu Fukang is asking him to come up with a plan for the opening ceremony. Isn't this a good opportunity to learn?

    Gong Xiaojun came out of the house in a suit and leather shoes, and confronted Gao Diandian, but no one paid attention to the other.  Originally, Gong Xiaojun wanted to say hello to Gao Diandian. He has lived in the same courtyard for so many years, so why put everything on his face, but he gave up when he saw his expression of being angry and having no place to complain or complain.  up.

    Gao Diandian is not the kind of person who doesn't get up after a fall. He is ready to make a comeback, and a fine of 50,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for him.  It's just that he is no longer willing to live in the garden of the palace family anymore. He bought a three-bedroom house in the Paradise District, and asked a decoration company to renovate it.  Gao Diandian's mother, Mrs. Gao Tian, ??was picked up by his sister before he was released from prison. Today, he will move and leave here forever. No matter what earth-shattering events happen in the palace garden in the future, he will have nothing to do with him.

    Seeing Gao Diandian walking out of the courtyard, Gong Xiaojun was surprised to find that the people in this compound seemed to marry for the purpose of divorce, like him, like Gao Diandian and Li Ernuo.  Also, no one in this compound lived long. Gong Xiaojun's parents, Gao Diandian's father and Li Ernuo's parents lived the longest to be 72 years old.  Gong Xiaojun thought, this compound is always shrouded in ominous omens, as if the Gong family forgot to check Fengshui when they built their base here.

    Although Gong Xiaojun left quite early, when he arrived at the cosmetics company, the opening ceremony had already been completed, and the people who came to the ceremony were leaving with bags of gifts.  The reason why Gong Xiaojun came late was very simple. The invitation only stated which road the company was on, but did not write the specific house number. He got off the bus as soon as he turned into the east entrance of this road, and the company happened to be on the road.  West Exit.  He walked for nearly half an hour, and the spring breeze mixed with dust hit his face along the way, making him comfortable and uncomfortable.  At the entrance of the cosmetics company, Gong Xiaojun looked at the layer of broken balloon skin on the ground, and wondered whether to return it.

    Our northern city used to like to set off firecrackers for opening ceremonies, and the greater the strength, the more firecrackers were set off. When the new department store was completed that year, more than ten firecrackers were hung from the top of the fifth floor to the ground, and they attended the opening ceremony there.  The leader of the party cut the ribbon, and firecrackers were lit here, and the smoke filled the air, and several banners were drawn, which almost caused a fire.  Since the municipal government passed the resolution to prohibit setting off firecrackers in the urban area last year, people dare not set off firecrackers anymore, but when there is a happy event, there is no sound in the ear, which always seems to be a defect. I don¡¯t know who is smart  People thought of stepping on balloons, and the sound was loud, and within a few days this method spread throughout the city.  When Gong Xiaojun looked at the broken balloon skin on the ground and could not make up his mind, a lady of etiquette came over and told him that the company manager invited him to the manager's office upstairs.  The small building of this company has only two floors, Gong Xiaojun raised his head and looked at the second floor, wondering who the manager could be?

    "Miss, what's your manager's name?" Gong Xiaojun couldn't help asking as he walked upstairs following the etiquette.

    After hearing this, the lady laughed and said: "You really know how to joke. Our manager knows you. Can you not know our manager?"

    "Miss, I'm not joking, I really don't know who your manager is." Gong Xiaojun quickly explained.

    "Then you'll know when you see it, please come in." The lady said with a smile again.

    When Miss said this, Gong Xiaojun had already walked to the door of the manager's room.  He stopped and glanced at the manager's office on the door.Only then did he knock on the door in bewilderment.

    "Come in." A woman's sweet voice came from inside.

    Gong Xiaojun was startled when he heard this voice, his heart beat wildly, because he was so familiar with this voice, even though there were only two words, he could recognize whose voice it was.  This is Qing, only Qing can have such a sweet voice, he has long been engraved with this woman named Qing.  But why did Qing, who had disappeared for six years, suddenly appear here?  Could this be an illusion?  He took a few steps back, he wanted to leave, he didn't have the courage to see this woman who had hurt him so much again.

    The door opened silently, and Qing appeared at the door.

    "Hello, Brother Xiaojun," Qing tried to smile and said, "Please come in."

    Brother Xiaojun?  Five years ago, whenever Qing called him "Brother Xiaojun", he felt as if he had fallen into a honey vat.  Gong Xiaojun hesitated for a while, looked at the blue-eyed and nervous face, and tried to smile, but failed, and his gaze became more dull instead.

    "Qing, you?" Gong Xiaojun suddenly realized that he was such a fragile person, and he was at a loss when he saw this woman who had fascinated him and abandoned him.

    "Let's talk after sitting down." Green General Gong Xiaojun let him into the sofa, poured him a cup of tea, and said.

    At this moment, Gong Xiaojun suddenly felt extremely exhausted, as if the journey of the past five years had been completed today.  He sat down on the sofa, did not speak, and lit a cigarette by himself.  Gong Xiaojun seemed too nervous during the process of lighting the cigarette. He took out the lighter and lit it three or four times before he lit it, and when he put the lighter on the cigarette and took a deep breath, he found that the cigarette in his mouth was empty.  The one that is stuck is the filter.

    Looking at Gong Xiaojun who was sitting on the sofa with his head bowed and smoking a cigarette without saying a word, Qing also began to feel a little helpless, even though she had made serious psychological preparations for this meeting with Gong Xiaojun five years later.  Yes, five years have passed. Five years ago, Qing abandoned Gong Xiaojun and went to follow the boss in Taiwan, embarking on the road to wealth. He never expected to return to this city and see Gong Xiaojun again.

    The Taiwanese boss is Sun Xing, who is very well-known in our city. At first, Sun Xing wanted to start a company in this city, but he was rejected by the city because of his history of betraying his comrades and fleeing to Taiwan.  Sun Xing never thought that the people in this city have such a good memory, love and hate so clearly. He originally thought that after more than forty years, what should be forgotten has been forgotten, and people will no longer pursue his disgraceful history.  .  Moreover, he did not come back to the mainland to counterattack, but to invest. The reason why he chose this city and announced that the company's profits from the previous five years would be handed over to charity organizations was because he felt ashamed of this city.  The way to apologize, but this city did not give him this opportunity, he had to open a company in another city that he knew nothing about, and continued to grow and develop, and later opened an office here.

    Our northern city is conservative, and everyone from administrative officials to ordinary people has clearly realized this and is actively changing it. However, the rejection of Sun Xing cannot be simply regarded as a conservative expression.  He, the ancestors of our city paid the price with his life, and his rebellious behavior is what the staunch citizens of our city hate the most.  Nor should he have room to live in this city.  Money cannot solve psychological problems.

    It was purely by chance that Jing met Sun Xing back then.

    After Sun Xing learned that people in this city had deep-seated hatred for him, he wanted to know how the city reacted to him after he fled to Taiwan.  He went to the third reading room of the Provincial Library to check the local newspapers in 1949. When he saw his name appearing in the list of counter-revolutionary criminals who were arrested by the Municipal Military Control Committee, Sun Xing suddenly saw a long gun shot at  The back of his head, and then passed out.

    At this time, Jing was sitting not far from Sun Xing, thinking about how to make Gong Xiaojun rich.  When colleagues ran over to help Sun Xing up and sent him to the hospital, she followed suit.  There was nothing wrong with Sun Xing, but he was a little frightened and went into shock for a while, and he was fine with a bottle of needle and oxygen infusion.  When Sun Xing specially hosted a banquet in honor of his savior after the incident, Qing Yin made a move and was invited too.  Sun Xing not only invited them to dinner, but also gave them gifts, a piece of gold jewelry for each of them.  Qing was the youngest and most beautiful among his colleagues, and this old and vigorous Sun Xing gave her the most expensive gold necklace.  The elderly colleague did not take away Sun Xing's gift, but Qing did.  At this time, Qing was completely disappointed with Gong Xiaojun, a poor college graduate. The broken cosmetics business department opened by Gong Xiaojun lost money instead of making money.  Qing finally felt that following Gong Xiaojun was equivalent to following poverty, and when Sun Xing invited her to dinner again, she bravely lay in his arms.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
