In the late autumn season, the sun rises a little later.

At around six o'clock, Xia Jian got up early. Unfortunately, the sky was still dark at this time. He turned on the street lights in the yard and began to clean the yard.

He had watered all the flowers last night and sent the photos to Lao Xiao's mailbox. After the old man saw the photos, he arranged some tasks for Xia Jian on the phone. Xia Jian followed them one by one and waited.

It was past eleven o'clock when all this was done.

Wang Lin sleeps with him these days. He was not used to sleeping alone last night, so he got up as soon as he woke up at six o'clock and took advantage of this time to clean the yard.

By the time he finished his work, the sky was slowly getting brighter. Xia Jian looked at his watch and saw that it was almost seven o'clock, so he called Han Juan and asked her to pick him up in Beishan.

Han Juan seemed to be a very delicate woman, but she was not very delicate when she did things. At about 7:20, Han Juan was already driving her car and waiting outside the gate.

As soon as Xia Jian dragged his suitcase out of the door, Han Juan came up to him. She smiled and said, "This place where Mr. Xia lives is a paradise on earth!" Han Juan said and looked inside. She was curious about whether there were people there.

It's normal.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"I'll just take a look at the gate. There aren't many good yards like this in Fuchuan City." Han Juan said, then she stood at the gate and looked inside.

Xia Jian could tell from her greedy eyes that Han Juan's family must have lived in a courtyard like this before. The car drove slowly through the center of Fuchuan City and headed towards the highway.

Looking at the vehicles and people driving on the road, Xia Jian felt extremely emotional. Are people so busy every day just for life?

Han Juan was an excellent driver, and Xia Jian fell asleep as soon as he got on the expressway. Xia Jian didn't wake up until he reached the service area. He went to the bathroom and came back, and he fell asleep again. When Han Juan woke him up again,

The car has stopped at the staff apartment.

Xia Jian called the security guard and moved his salute upstairs. He washed his face and went downstairs to eat. Since it was just meal time, some of the company's employees had not come back yet, and there were only a few security guards on duty.

Where are you sitting? As soon as everyone saw Xia Jian, they came over to say hello to him.

At this time, Han Juan packed her bed and went downstairs. After changing her clothes, she suddenly looked energetic. She went to the window and brought Xia Jian a bowl of noodles and a few side dishes. Xia Jian just took a few bites.

, Guo Meili and some colleagues from the company also came. The canteen suddenly became lively.

"You should take a rest after dinner and ask Han Juan to wake you up at three o'clock. Then you can come to the company immediately and we will sort out tomorrow morning's activities so that you can participate." As soon as Guo Meili sat down,

Then he smiled and said to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian shook his head and said: "I don't care about this matter. I will listen to you whatever you say." Xia Jian said and yawned for a long time. Although he had a good sleep in the car,

Still feel very tired.

Guo Meili smiled slightly and said, "Okay! I'll type up your speech and you just read it." Xia Jian nodded. If this had happened before, he would have understood the whole process.

Xia Jian and Han Juan finished eating first and were sitting there waiting for Guo Meili. At this time, his cell phone rang. When Xia Jian saw that it was Guo Meili, he stood up in surprise and answered the phone while going upstairs.

Go.

"Hey! Have you arrived in Pingdu City?" Ouyang Hong asked with a smile on the phone.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "You are clairvoyant! I just finished my meal when I arrived, and you called me right now."

"I know you are going to attend the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow morning, but I don't know when you will come back. Let's do this! Let's make an appointment to meet in the afternoon. I have something to talk to you about," Ouyang Hong said softly on the phone, Xia Jian could hear it

, she was in a very good mood.

Xia Jian hesitated and said, "Okay! You decide the place, and I'll be there when the time comes." As soon as Xia Jian finished speaking, Ouyang Hong hung up the phone.

Xia Jian stretched and was about to go to bed when Guo Meili knocked on the door and walked in. She asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to the company this afternoon?"

"Yes, Ouyang Hong asked me to sit down and said she had something important to discuss. It's both public and private. I have to meet her. I don't know what it is." Xia Jian said, patting the edge of the bed. What he meant was

Ask Guo Meili to come and sit.

Guo Meili stood without moving, but shook her head and pointed to the next door. This meant that Han Juan had come up and was in her room. No matter what they said, their matter would not be exposed to the light after all.

Guo Meili laughed and said, "Okay then! Pay attention when you go out. It's best to wear glasses or a mask, because you are quite famous. If you are recognized, it will be lively."

I'll bring the speech back for you to read in the evening." After Guo Meili finished speaking, she left with a sweet smile.

Xia Jian sighed helplessly and fell on the bed to sleep. Around two o'clock, his cell phone rang. Xia Jian grabbed it and saw that it was a message from Ouyang Hongfa. The address turned out to be in the suburbs.

Donglai Pavilion. This place is quite remote and should be within the confines of a private kitchen.

When Xia Jian got up and went out, Han Juan heard the sound and walked out. Xia Jian smiled slightly and said to her: "You can go to bed and rest in the afternoon! I made an appointment with someone, just take a taxi there."

Han Juan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned to the room. Before closing the door, she couldn't help but said, "If anything happens, don't forget to call me." Xia Jian responded and went downstairs.

We stopped a car on the side of the road. The driver was a woman. As soon as Xia Jian got in the car, she asked: "Boss! Where are you going?"

"Use the meter and walk around the city first. I'll tell you after I think about it." Xia Jian looked cold and spoke resolutely. When the old driver saw it, he didn't dare to say much. She drove slowly around Pingdu City.

Started shopping.

As soon as the car drove near the east gate, Xia Jian suddenly said to her: "Turn right ahead and go out of the city to Donglai Pavilion."

"Ah! Boss! The place you went to is too remote. It's not worthwhile for me to use the meter. When I came here, I almost ran on empty." Upon hearing this, the female driver said with a smile.

Xia Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what do you think is the most cost-effective way? I'll just listen to you."

"Do you think it's okay to add five yuan to the meter?" the female driver said, looking at Xia Jian carefully. Isn't it just five yuan? People in small places are honest, so they need to solicit customers for this.

of consent.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "Drive well, it's just a small thing, I'll add it to you when the time comes." The female driver was happy when she heard this, and she couldn't help but smile at Xia Jian.

It's more than twenty minutes' drive. Xia Jian has never been to this place, but he still knows a little about the specific cube. It is indeed a farmyard. However, the people eating at this time seemed extremely quiet.

Xia Jian glanced at the timer that read 25 yuan. He took out a fifty yuan bill, put it on the console and said, "No need to look for it." After that, he prepared to get out of the car.

"Are you Xia Jian?" the female driver suddenly asked in surprise.

Xia Jian was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at the female driver carefully. He couldn't help shouting: "Gao Qiaoli! Is it you? A classmate from the No. 7 Middle School in the city." Xia Jian was afraid of admitting the wrong person, so he added another sentence.

The female driver chuckled and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? I've heard that you've become rich a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet you today."

Gao Qiaoli is Xia Jian's classmate, and she is the type who is good at studying. When she was in school, she had good academic performance and was pretty, so she generally ignored people like Xia Jian who didn't like studying very much.

Of course, Xia Jian still has memories of this kind of girls.

"I didn't expect you to know me. When I was in school, we were all in the same class, and you didn't talk to people like us very much." Xia Jian said and laughed.

Gao Qiaoju said a little embarrassedly: "I was ignorant at that time, but now I think about it and I really regret it. I only thought about studying, and I forgot about the love of studying."

"Hey! Your studies are so good, you should be admitted to college! How do you drive a taxi?" Xia Jian changed the topic and asked a little puzzled.

Gao Qiaoju straightened the hair on her forehead and said with a sad smile: "I passed the exam in the first year, but I thought the school I was admitted to was not good, so I took the exam again for a year. Unexpectedly, my results were one point worse when they came out."

After three years, who would dare to make up for it again?"

"You should persevere. It would be a pity to give up," Xia Jian said, shaking his head. He felt sorry for Gao Qiaoju, but also for his own impulsiveness at that time.

Gao Qiaoju breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Later, I lost confidence and my family didn't support me very much, so I took over my mother's job. Unexpectedly, the factory closed down within less than a year of working. In order to make a living, I just took over my job."

Caught up with this"

Xia Jian took a careful look at Gao Qiaoju and found that there were fine wrinkles on her handsome face. He couldn't help asking: "Are you married?"

"We are already thirty. If we don't get married, no one will want her. The child will be four years old. Have you noticed it?" Gao Qiaoju said and smiled at Xia Jian.

Xia Jian let out a sigh of relief and said: "Time is like a butcher's knife. This sentence is not true at all. It's not that we are all old, but we are more mature. You often run outside and see the classmates in our class.

Let’s get in touch and let’s have a good time together.”

"Ha! Xia Jian! You are really impressive. When you were in class, you were silent. Unexpectedly, you had a crush on Cai Li. At that time, you made a big fuss in school. Unexpectedly, when you entered the society, you gave everyone another surprise. We

You may be the best in the class. Although some have become state cadres, they are far behind you," Gao Qiaoju said with infinite emotion.

At this time, Xia Jian's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Ouyang Hong, he hurriedly answered the call. On the phone, Ouyang Hong asked anxiously: "Where are you? Why haven't you come yet?"
