Zhang Ziwen took advantage of everyone and quickly poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was not polite and took a sip before saying, "Actually, your method is good, but you are not that kind of person. If your classmate does this kind of thing, he should be more successful than you."

Zhang Ziwen: "...Are you talking about Xiatian? I was what he taught me!"

Jiang Chen laughed, and the two of them chatted for a few words. The door of the private room was pushed open again. A middle-aged man came in and laughed and called everyone inside.

"How are you eating here? I heard that there are some things in this dish, but I don't know what's going on!"

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "You are the boss! My brother is just a joke, boss, don't mind. To be honest, the food here is so good. We just want to invite the boss to have a drink together. Thank you for providing us with this fairy-like enjoyment."

The boss obviously didn't expect this to be the case. He was stunned for a moment and saw a cup of tea brought by Zhang Ziwen. He took it in confusion and looked at the four people in the room. Wang Shunfa also said with a smile.

"The boss is so capable. I am also a delicious person, but the dishes here are really distinctive, good! The boss should not be too careful. We really want to thank you. I hope we can meet the boss and we will come here again in the future and have some care. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to make an appointment a few days in advance every time."

The boss came down with peace of mind and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "The bosses are so proud of my small shop. In this way, I will give you a 20% discount on the dishes today. I wonder if you are satisfied with them."

Wang Shunfa: "Haha, there's no need for discounts. Let's joke with you, just as the boss doesn't mind, how can you still ask for discounts!"

Several people were laughing and laughing. The atmosphere in the room was still good. Only Zhang Ziwen sat there alone and said embarrassedly. Compared to the old fried dough sticks in the room, Zhang Ziwen is still much tender!

After the restaurant owner left the private room, several people sat back on their seats. Zhang Ziwen picked up his teacup to toast Wang Shun. Wang Shun smiled and picked up his wine glass to take a sip. Then Zhang Ziwen said to the fat man Liu Jugang: "Mayor Liu is really... to give face to come here today."

Jiang Chen interrupted Zhang Ziwen with a smile and said: "Mayor Liu's visit makes us shine brightly here. Mayor Liu has given a clear direction for our work guidance..."

Liu Jugang: "Don't make a report. Just say whatever you have."

Jiang Chen: "This boiled cabbage tastes really good. Do you think you will add another one?"

Liu Jugang: "...that should be said by Boss Wang!"

Zhang Ziwen: "Then Boss Wang will talk about it."

Wang Shunfa knew that everyone was going to express his opinion. He ate all night and said a lot of nonsense. Now he is finally going to get to the topic. Wang Shunfa cleared his throat and said it slowly.

"In order to correspond to the country's policies on developing the western region, to stimulate domestic demand and accelerate the mainland..."

Jiang Chen: "I'm talking about the key points, I'm still waiting for the water to boil cabbage."

Wang Shunfa: "...I want to invest. I just don't know if my parents are willing to help us little businessmen, guide us and…"

Zhang Ziwen: "Mayor Liu?"

Liu Jugang: "How much can you invest? What are the projects? How to solve the funds? For the environment..."

Jiang Chen: "The key point is it! Cabbage!"

Wang Shunfa: "If you have a preliminary intention before the end of this year, you will invest 10 million to start. If everything goes well, at least 3,000 next year. The funds will be mainly solved by the company itself. Of course, you still have to rely on the help of local banks, but this will be done according to the necessary procedures."

Liu Jugang: "Then the specific project is..."

Wang Shunfa: "It is mainly food processing. It has no impact on the environment. It is also a labor-intensive project and will have a great impact on local employment. In addition, we are planning to establish a research institute, which is of course mainly based on food. However, the research institute mainly conducts necessary basic theoretical research and adaptive experiments, so it will need to recruit a large number of college students and even graduate students."

Liu Jugang nodded. He thought for a long time and didn't say anything. At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly didn't rush to eat water and boil cabbage. He stared at a piece of watermelon in front of him and started to study it. Zhang Ziwen simply held a broccoli in the plate to decorate the plate.

Liu Jugang: "Then...what does our government need to do?"

Wang Shunfa: "Haha, of course, it's policy support. In fact, the policy itself has nothing to do with it. The main thing is whether the government can clearly express its support for our company. It is also whether it can help us plan the land for enterprises and the surrounding environment during the infrastructure stage. After all, as enterprises, we are powerless to do with these things."

Liu Jugang knocked on the table and thought for a long time, looked at Jiang Chen, who was dazed opposite and Zhang Ziwen, who was beginning to study garlic for a long time, and finally picked up the wine glass and said to Wang Shunfa: "If Boss Wang is really interested in investing in our city, then I would like to express my welcome on behalf of the government."

"Okay, it turns out that boiling cabbage is not only boiled in water, but it looks like it has ingredients inside it, but it looks like it is clear water!"

Jiang Chen finally figured out why such delicious cabbage can be cooked in such a bowl of water, and Zhang Ziwen finally realized that the broccoli used to serve on the plate can also be eaten.

Four people at a table were all happy!

After leaving Furong Restaurant, Zhang Ziwen and Jiang Chen rushed to New Oriental to pick up Kong Rong immediately. Nowadays, children are really worried. Without adults, Kong Rong and Jiang Yao can wander on the road until midnight before returning home. They also have to complain first that they have no money to take the bus, as if the taxi that they usually have to wave to cut their heads when they go out will disappear on this night.

Seeing Jiang Chen's deprived Santana disappearing from the corner of the street, Zhang Ziwen walked to his master's wife's house first. Today, Jiang Chen sent them back.

Kong Rong: "Brother Xiao Zhang, can you go back later? I want to have a walk."

Zhang Ziwen: "Why are you leaving? I'll take you home first and then say: After I hand you over to my master's wife, you can do whatever you want even if you want to walk until tomorrow morning."

Kong Rong: "I don't want to go home now. If you don't accompany me, I'll leave alone."

Kong Rong angrily stuffed her schoolbag into Zhang Ziwen's hand and walked to the playground alone. The biggest advantage of living on the university campus is that there is a playground. Even many residents outside the campus will come to the playground for a while at night. In addition to students who come out to run at night, there are still many people in the playground of W University even at this time.

Zhang Ziwen followed Kong Rong to the playground with his schoolbag, wondering in his heart how Kong Rong was so disobedient today. Although this little girl is usually eccentric and always has new ideas. Overall, she is still a very obedient child. Standing by the side of the playground, Zhang Ziwen watched Kong Rong run around the playground for a few laps, and when she turned back, she was already panting.

After taking off her sweater and throwing it into Zhang Ziwen's hand, Kong Rong gasped and sat on the artificial turf. Zhang Ziwen quickly went over and took out the kettle from her schoolbag and handed it over. Kong Rong took it and took a few sips, and suddenly she coughed loudly because she was choked.

Zhang Ziwen hurriedly squatted down and patted her back gently. Just as he was about to blame Kong Rong for not being anxious, Kong Rong suddenly cried out. At first, it was just a whimper in his throat. Then it turned into a loud cry. The crying sounded far away at night, and several old men and women who were spinning around the track were attracted. Zhang Ziwen quickly raised the kettle and said that his sister had choked on the water. The old people saw that everything was normal and slowly spread out.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly? Is someone bullying you in the school?" Zhang Ziwen persuaded innocently: Kong Rong's crying louder and louder, and Zhang Ziwen could only stand beside her and wait for her to calm down slowly.

Kong Rong: "Brother Xiao Zhang. I want to ask you a question. Can you answer me honestly?"

Zhang Ziwen: "This...what do you want to ask?"

Kong Rong: "Did my parents get divorced?"

Zhang Ziwen: "This... why do you ask this?"

Kong Rong: "Mom always treats me as a child. Actually, I have grown up and can guess some things. Dad hasn't come back for so long in the United States. I heard that the school has been expelled. Do you think he will come back? If he doesn't return to China and my mother is not going out, do you think they can still be together? Can you tell me honestly?"

Zhang Ziwen: "This...this should be a matter between adults, you..."

Kong Rong: "Why do you even treat me as a child? Even if I am still a child, can you hide everything from me?"

Zhang Ziwen sighed and thought to himself that the children nowadays are actually very sensitive. Although the master's wife is not going to tell her what happened for her sake, what can children nowadays not know?

"Actually, no matter what the relationship between the teacher and the teacher's wife is, you are both their children, you are their pearls in their eyes. I believe they both love you..."

Kong Rong: "What do you mean is that the two of them are indeed divorced?"

Looking at the tears on Kong Rong's face, Zhang Ziwen knew that he was right, but no matter what he said, it was a kind of harm to the child now. For the child: breaking up with parents is an irreparable harm, and this is not something that Zhang Ziwen, an outsider, can help.

Squatting on the ground, Zhang Ziwen took out a tissue and handed it to Kong Rong. Kong Rong took it but did not wipe her face, but instead tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.

"Did I do something wrong? That's why my father didn't come back abroad? Didn't he do a good job in China? Why don't he want me when he goes out? Did he find other women abroad?"

Zhang Ziwen is not clear about these issues, but when facing children, adults, they always have to find a way to enlighten them. Zhang Ziwen: "Of course it's not your fault. But the teacher goes abroad to achieve better development. As for the relationship between him and his teacher's wife, this is not a problem that I should care about as a student. I think the teacher's love for you should not change."

Kong Rong did not ask any questions, but threw herself into Zhang Ziwen's arms. Although there was no crying, judging from Kong Rong's constantly shaking shoulders, Zhang Ziwen knew that she must still be crying silently.

The two of them stayed in the playground for a long time until Kong Rong's phone kept ringing, and then Zhang Ziwen's little spiritual communication rang. Zhang Ziwen knew that it must be the master's wife who was worried about her daughter's safety, but what could she say after answering the phone now?

"Let's go back, my mother is going to worry." Kong Rong left Zhang Ziwen's arms and naughtyly wiped away tears on Zhang Ziwen's shoulders. Zhang Ziwen used his best efforts to squeeze out a little smile, but Kong Rong smiled.

Kong Rong: "Why do you feel uncomfortable when I cry? Have you never seen a girl crying? I don't know what to do with it?"

Zhang Ziwen: "Why do you laugh when you talk and laugh?"

Kong Rong: "What should I do? Do you want me to go home to see my mother crying like this? Then she is even more sad? In fact, I have long suspected that the two of them were going to break up. It was just an article given by the teacher during class today talking about the impact of parents' divorce on their children. It made me suddenly want to cry."

Zhang Ziwen: "...In fact, it's enough for you to know that your parents care about you."

Kong Rong: "That's...Brother, will you love me too?"

Zhang Ziwen was stunned and said blankly: "This love?"

Kong Rong: "What are you thinking? What I said is that the eldest brother loves the younger sister. Why did Brother Xiao Zhang think wrongly?"

Zhang Ziwen smiled bitterly and said, "Why are the little guy always talking too much? If you don't want to continue crying, are you going home now?"

Kong Rong jumped up from the ground. She ran out without even slapping the dust on her butt. While running, she said, "Oh no, my mother should be talking nonsense again when she goes back so late. It's all bad for Brother Xiao Zhang. I'll take me this place to make trouble. I'll tell my mother later that she will ignore you in the future."

Zhang Ziwen quickly stood up and followed Kong Rong to chase him.

...

Back at An Xinyuan's home, Zhang Ziwen was still thinking about Kong Rong's cry just now. She felt a little uncomfortable. Today, only Wei Yuan and Xue Mingshan stayed here. When Zhang Ziwen entered the door, the two girls were laughing at a Korean drama. Zhang Ziwen sat on the floor of the living room, next to the two girls. Wei Yuan carefully took a peeled apple and put it in Zhang Ziwen's hand. Zhang Ziwen didn't eat it either, but just watched a pair of men and women making fun on TV, but he didn't know why Xue Mingshan smiled so happily.

Wei Yuan: "What's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy? Did Wang Shun's treat to you in the evening not go smoothly?"

Zhang Ziwen shook his head and still didn't say anything. Xue Mingshan also noticed Zhang Ziwen's abnormality and leaned over to touch Zhang Ziwen's forehead.

"Are you sick?" Zhang Ziwen turned his head and let Xue Mingshan's hand slide down from his head. Then he grabbed the hands of the two girls and whispered about Kong Rong.

"Are you worried that we will leave you?" Xue Mingshan leaned her head against Zhang Ziwen's bra and looked at Zhang Ziwen's eyes. Zhang Ziwen originally wanted to avoid this question. But looking at the sincere eyes of the two girls, she did not dare to escape. She had to nod and Wei Yuan smiled.

"It's like this now. Do you think we can still go? Maybe it was the debt we girls owed you in the last life that made us meet you in this life. I just hope you don't think that I hate me and don't want me on that day, how could I leave you?"

Xue Mingshan also said: "Yes. You don't know what magic you have. Anyway, I'm not allowed to leave you for a day. Even if I don't lie in your arms, I feel very at ease as long as I know you are waiting in the same place. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to leave you."

Zhang Ziwen touched the heads of the two people and said slowly: "Why is this? Can I have the luck to meet you?"

Wei Yuan didn't say anything, and slowly reached into Zhang Ziwen's clothes with one hand. Xue Mingshan also lowered her head and leaned down, then whispered her softly before:

"There must be a reason, but I don't know it yet. Maybe one day, everything will be understood. I just hope that on that day, we will be together."

Zhang Ziwen comfortably put himself in a big character and murmured: "Yes! One day I will know the reason. But even then, I will not leave you... and other girls."

Zhang Ziwen has been very busy recently. Wang Shunfa’s Ronghai company is going to invest in a new factory, and now Zhang Ziwen is basically responsible for it.

He said he was responsible, but in fact, Zhang Ziwen knew nothing about the relevant matters. He followed several managers under Boss Wang to go to the government department for approval every day, which finally made Zhang Ziwen gain a lot of knowledge. From urban planning to management departments at all levels, banks, and public institutions, Zhang Ziwen now knows how many procedures it takes to run a company.

The relevant information was handed over to the tax authorities, and the relevant tax number and other information would be approved at least two weeks later. Today, Zhang Ziwen's affairs came to an end. After coming out of the tax authorities, Zhang Ziwen said goodbye to several managers and was preparing to go to the summer shop casually. Since he sent the drunk summer home last time, he hasn't seen him for many days.

Looking at the latest gadgets from the idea store along the way, Zhang Ziwen slowly arrived at the inconspicuous small storefront and found that there was only one little girl guarding the storefront. The girl had a face. Maybe she was new. Zhang Ziwen asked the boss if he was there. The girl actually pointed at her nose and said that she was the boss. If there was any problem, she would come to her. Zhang Ziwen smiled and sat on the sofa and chatted with the girl while taking out her phone to look for Xia Tian. Several people walked out of the office inside.

Xia Tian’s mother walked out with two customers, exchanged greetings at the door and said a few words to send the customer out of the door before greeting Zhang Ziwen. Zhang Ziwen was surprised that Xia’s mother had long been no longer in charge of these small businesses, so why did she come to Xia Tian’s store to contact the business today?

"This is not Xia Tian's busy business. I have to help with the business here. You also know that Zhang Qian has just given birth to a full month, so I can't let her come here."
