Europe, a beautiful town.

In a unique small building, Bai Jinxuan stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the empty street below, with a little tired expression.

With a squeak, the door pushed open from outside.

The woman who came in was a twenties and said, "Jinxuan, I've cooked some white porridge for you. You can eat some, don't be hungry."

Bai Jinxuan turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly, "He Li, how long are you going to lock me up?"

He Li smiled bitterly, "Jinxuan, Mr. Qin personally spoke, let you rest here for a while. We are just working, and you can do whatever the boss says."

"It turned out to be Mr. Qin."

Bai Jinxuan thought of the man who was usually kind and kind, but didn't feel angry. Mr. Qin was undoubtedly a businessman. She just didn't expect that he would be so decisive and order so quickly that he would not give her time to react.

Originally, according to the plan, she wanted to go to another country to participate in a variety show for tourism, but when she was halfway through, she lied to her that she wanted to turn around. She was sent here without any warning, and her mobile phone and passport were also taken away.

Now, she is in a foreign country and has no language. She doesn't know where to run. She can't talk about it. She doesn't care about anything else, so she is worried that Chen Xu will add her and can't wait for a reply after seeing the news.

She was anxious, but she had no choice. People who were more trustworthy, such as Fang Fang and several other assistants, had something to do and didn't follow her. Now that I think about it, it must be Mr. Qin's tricks.

She asked, "Where is Manager Shao?"

He Li looked outside the house and whispered, "I heard that Manager Shao ran to have a big fight with President Qin, and was transferred by President Qin and no longer cared about artists."

"You can rest here with peace of mind. In two days, Mr. Qin will come to see you in person."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Jinxuan grabbed her hand and whispered, "Can you lend your phone to use it?"

He Li sighed and said, "Before I came up, my phone was taken away. I really can't help. You should eat some of this porridge. If you don't say anything else, you can fight with them after you have enough."

After saying that, she left.

The door was closed again, Bai Jinxuan could not imagine how he sat on the chair and looked at the pot of white porridge and two side dishes.

After a while, she walked over, filled a bowl of porridge, and started eating with the food. She knew that she could not completely count on Aunt Shao. After all, she still had to rely on herself. He Li was right. If she didn't eat enough, she would be able to fight with Mr. Qin and others.

The conflict between her and Mr. Qin and others is just about interests. As long as Mr. Qin wants to make money from her, everything will be discussed. Although her bargaining chips are pitifully small, one thing is that she has the ability to turn the table up. As long as she shows her determination, Mr. Qin will not be too much.

While thinking, she ate a bowl of porridge in big mouthfuls and then served another bowl.

…………

May 1st, sunny.

Chen Xu stood by the roadside, looking at the pedestrians around him.

"This place is good, and the rent is not expensive. The most important thing is that you can sign a contract for a few years without transfer fees. Where did you find it?" Old Tang walked out of a shop behind him and was amazed.

Chen Xu turned around and said with a smile, "I entrusted several agents, one of whom called me in the middle of the night and said there was a good place. I came over and saw that I heard the conditions and signed the contract immediately."

"Then you are taking a big advantage." Old Tang sighed, "The location here is better than your first store and has a larger storefront. Just renovate it and open it to ensure a prosperous business."

Chen Xu said, "The most important thing is that this place is not far from the first store."

Lao Tang said, "But, logically speaking, there should be no need to worry about not being able to rent such a place. Why did you encounter it?"

"I heard that the last tenant here is a rogue. He has been delaying rent for a year and can't even drive away. It seems that he is involved in gangs. The landlord has no choice but to deal with him. He happened to be in the anti-gangster and was arrested two days ago. The landlord took the store back and wanted to rent it out quickly, but I encountered it."

Chen Xu explained the cause and effect, "The landlord said that the rent can be negotiated, but he had to pay the rent for two years first. I guess he was scared."

"So that's it. It seems that you are starting to operate." Old Tang said, seeing him staring at the car on the road in a daze, he asked, "Why, you seem unhappy."

Chen Xu took out a pack of cigarettes, handed over one, lit it, took a deep breath, let out a long breath, and then said, "I just think it's a bit too coincidental."

"It's so coincidental?" Lao Tang used to be addicted to smoking, so he quit in order to have a child. After the child was born, he occasionally smoked one, and he cherished his movements and expressions every time he smoked.

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

The two stood in the shade of trees by the roadside and finished smoking a cigarette quietly.

After a while, Old Tang asked, "How do you plan to decorate?"

"I think the decoration of the last store is good, exquisite and simple, just follow that style."

Chen Xu had an idea in his mind, "The female college student who subleases me learned design. I asked her, the decoration of the store was designed by her..."

While talking, a red blue bird parked on the side of the road. A young girl walked down and greeted them, "Chen Xu, Tang Wenhai, sorry, I'm late."

"We're here too early." Chen Xu smiled, "The shop is there, I'll take you to have a look."

The girl's name is Xu Xiaoxiao, and she looks sweet. Compared with a few months ago, there has been a great change. Whether it is dressing style or makeup, it can be clearly seen that a young college girl has transformed into a young and fashionable urban girl.

"Chen Xu, I really can't tell. You are so good at doing business. You are going to open a branch in just a few months." Xu Xiaoxiao sighed while walking, "We can't do it anymore. The same store is in our hands, and we are so desperate that we vomit blood."

Chen Xu said, "You are just inexperienced."

"Forget it, after this incident, I have seen it clearly. I have no mind to do business at all. It's better to work honestly."

Chen Xu asked casually, "Which company are you working in now?"

"Shangyun Design."

Old Tang said in surprise, "That's the highest-paid design company in the industry. I heard that the competition is very fierce."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Have you heard of our company too?"

"My wife used to learn design, but later she changed careers." Lao Tang said.

"So that's how it is."

While the three of them were talking, they had already entered the store. Xu Xiaoxiao began to look at the store and said, "The location and layout here are very good. The rent must be not cheap."

"good."

"Then I'll start." Xu Xiaoxiao took out a ruler and started measuring the shop.

"Then let's go outside to smoke a cigarette." Chen Xu said, taking Lao Tang to the place where he had just smoked. Each of them lit one.

He asked, "What is the origin of Shangyun Design?"

"A design company with a very high level and strong relationships. It has cooperated with many large companies. The company's headquarters was redecorated in the past two years and asked them to design it."

Chen Xu asked again, "What's their boss's surname?"

"The surname is Wen, he is a woman, very powerful. It is said that a student of a master of architectural design in the United States later returned to China to start a business and quickly became famous."

Chen Xu asked, "Then she is not young."

"I guess it's about forty. In this industry, I'm already very young." Old Tang said, and said strangely, "What are you doing when you ask about these things?"

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I thought it was an acquaintance of mine. It seems that he made a mistake."

When Lao Tang saw him say this, he didn't ask much. He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao who was busy in the store and said, "Why do I think she seems to be a little interested in you."

"You can't say such words randomly." Chen Xu said, frowned subconsciously.

Old Tang smiled and did not continue the topic, "These days, you have been going to pick up Mr. Luo from get off work, right?"

"Well, she was afraid that I would be gossiped about and wouldn't let me go up."

"If you don't go up, others can guess. Luo always left a few minutes in advance these days, and then everyone will discuss you two there."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "Didn't you say anything too ugly."

"Those things will not be said in front of everyone. There will definitely be those in private. You have taken such a big advantage, so don't let others talk a little bit? Tell you, you are almost becoming a male public enemy in the whole building. If you dare to show your love to Mr. Luo in public, someone might have secretly stabbed your villain."

Chen Xu could imagine what bad things they would say.

He had a classmate in college who had a crush on a girl in high school. When he was in junior year, he suddenly realized that the girl had been with a boy she didn't like before, and her mentality collapsed on the spot.

According to that classmate, no matter who she is with, he will not have such a big reaction. He is a boy he looks down on. That feeling is even more uncomfortable than being fed a mouthful of poop.

Chen Xu felt that most of the people in the company were in a similar mood.

He asked about the company's recent situation, "How is the cooperation with Fang Dong doing now?"

"Have you not told you?"

"I am with her and never talk about work." Chen Xu said. He had dinner with her these days and talked about things in his dreams. They had some confusions between each other. After chatting, they suddenly realized that the other party was thinking like this, which felt very interesting.

Lao Tang said, "It's almost done. It will be officially launched in about half a month. At that time, you will definitely be very busy."

Chen Xu calculated and said, "Well, at that time, the noodle shop in my branch was almost open, and it happened to be quite busy."

After chatting for a while, the sun started to rise and the weather was too hot, so I ran back to the store.

Just so happened that Xu Xiaoxiao had some decoration matters to ask him, so she sat together and started discussing it.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

"Let's go and have a meal." Chen Xu said, "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Xiaoxiao said, "You guys make your own decisions, I can do it."

Old Tang also said, "Everything is OK."

"Then go to the restaurant opposite. I heard that the environment is good." Chen Xu said, and stood up, "You go first, I'll wait for my girlfriend to come."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay." She went over with Lao Tang first.
