At three-thirty in the afternoon, Zhou Jing returned to the hotel and reported to Qin Xiaoqian about Boss Yang's plan to invest in Qingyang. Qin Xiaoqian was extremely happy. If she could get an investment of 50 million yuan, it would be the most expensive investment in Qingyang in the past three years.
This is the biggest achievement of Qingyang City’s investment promotion.
Lin Fusheng and He Yufeng were also surprised when they received the news. They never expected that they would gain such a big harvest this time. When they looked at Zhou Jing, there was more admiration in their eyes.
This is what government agencies are like. Everyone may have different ideas, but if someone really achieves results, everyone will still be convinced. Especially, in their eyes, Zhou Jing is still a young boy, and he actually
It is not easy to attract such a large investment.
Of course, as long as the contract is not signed and the funds are not in place, nothing can be done. Therefore, Qin Xiaoqian also reminded Zhou Jing to be mentally prepared. According to past experience, as long as one link of the work is not done well, it will be very difficult.
It’s easy to waste all your efforts and lose all your joy.
Everyone went downstairs to have dinner, then packed up and prepared to leave Wuyang and return to Qingyang City. Before leaving, Zhou Jing went to the next room and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He went to the front desk downstairs to inquire.
But I got news that Chen Xuefei had already checked out and left this morning.
He took out his cell phone and called up Chen Xuefei's number. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head slightly, sighed, and put the phone back into his jacket pocket. Chen Xuefei clearly wrote on the note that she encountered something that could not be solved.
It seems a little inappropriate to make this call again and interrupt rashly.
Besides, even if he made the call, what could he say? Although Zhou Jing admired that stunningly beautiful girl very much, in terms of relationships, since he already had Li Jiani, he could no longer be greedy and greedy.
An hour later, everyone got on the train with their belongings in large and small bags. They were chatting and laughing and playing poker just like when they arrived. After a while, they saw an old man with a gray beard leading a man in ragged clothes.
The little girl came over and begged from seat to seat.
"Dear travelers, please give me some money. My granddaughter hasn't had a full meal for two days." The old man was skinny and hunched over, holding a worn-out porcelain bowl with some fifty cents in it.
One piece of change.
The little girl was pretty, especially with a pair of big watery eyes. She seemed to be able to talk and was extremely lovable. However, due to long-term malnutrition, her complexion was somewhat ugly. Her thin body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.
cold.
The reactions of the passengers were very different. Some felt sympathy for the old and the young, so they took out the change and handed it over. Others ignored it and started talking about it. They all said that begging has become an industry nowadays, and some beggars
After getting off the train, I went into the hotel and lived a more carefree life than anyone else.
The two of them walked all the way, and when they stopped next to Zhou Jing and others, he hurriedly took out some change and put it in a bowl. He also took a black coat and put it on the little girl. The little girl stretched out a pair of dirty clothes.
His little hands held the corners of his clothes tightly, his eyes were full of gratitude, but he just nodded and said nothing.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoqian also put down her cards, took out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket, and handed it to the old man. The old man took the bill, thanked her profusely, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, I really met a good person, girl."
, you are not only handsome, but you also have a heart of a Bodhisattva, and you will definitely live a long life."
After the two left, Qin Xiaoqian sighed and whispered: "This child is really pitiful. He is only six or seven years old. He has to live such a hard life, but he doesn't know when he will be able to escape from the sea of misery."
He Yufeng smiled and said softly: "Xiaoqian, you probably don't know that in many places now, people from the whole village come out to beg. Adults and children all get into the train. On this trip, there are hundreds and even hundreds of people.
Thousands, some people became rich in less than two years and built general buildings."
Qin Xiaoqian didn't believe it. She waved her hands and sighed: "After all, there are only a few people like that. Many people have no choice but to be beggars. It's good if they can fill their stomachs. How can they get rich?"
He Yufeng smiled, shook his head and said, "Xiao Qin, you have a Bodhisattva heart and you are too kind-hearted. This is not good. You can easily be deceived."
At this time, a passenger next to him answered the call and said in a long voice: "You're right, that old man is specially running this line. Don't look at his pitiful appearance now. He seems to be blown down by a gust of wind. In fact, he has a strong body."
Now, every time he goes out to beg, he brings a different granddaughter, do you know why?"
Qin Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment and asked puzzledly: "Why?"
The man snorted and said calmly: "Some of those children are rented, and some are found. He usually takes the children to beg, and when he meets a suitable family, he sells the children. That is also a lot of income.
, I heard that there are people who steal children away from passengers when they are not paying attention!"
"How could you do this? It's such a disservice!" He Yufeng couldn't listen anymore and interjected angrily.
The man also sighed, shook his head and said: "In today's world, weird things will happen. To put it bluntly, people's hearts are broken. They only care about money and ignore reason."
The people around him all agreed and started talking about it, as if they couldn't understand many things happening now.
A few people played cards for a while, and after eating lunch, they each slumped in their seats and took a nap, no longer talking. In the early hours of the morning, the car drove to Qingyang Station. Everyone was wrapped in the crowd, walked out of the platform, and exchanged a few words.
, they took a taxi and left.
Zhou Jing also flagged down a taxi. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly heard a slight cry from behind: "Uncle, can you help me?"
He was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the roadside under the streetlight not far behind him, looking at him with tears in his eyes. This girl looked familiar. If he thought about it carefully, it was
On the train, the little guy who was begging with the old man was still wearing the coat she gave her.
Zhou Jing hurriedly walked over, knelt down, and said softly: "Little girl, why are you here?"
The little girl moved her lips, wiped her tears with her hands, and said a little aggrievedly: "Uncle, they have discussed that in a few days, they will break my legs and I will crawl around. That way there will be more people giving money, and I will
I was afraid, so I sneaked out when they weren't paying attention and followed you out of the car."
Zhou Jing's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears. He said softly: "Little girl, do you still remember where your home is?"
The little girl shook her head, with a confused look on her face. After a long while, she whispered: "It's been a long time since I came out. I don't even remember what happened before."
Zhou Jing sighed and asked patiently: "Do you still remember the names of your parents?"
The little girl still shook her head, huddled up, and sobbed: "Uncle, take me away. I can cook and wash clothes. As long as you don't break my legs, I can do anything!"
"
Zhou Dingding nodded, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and said softly: "Okay, go back with uncle. From now on, no one will dare to bully you again!"
The little girl burst into laughter and nodded: "Uncle, let me tell you, I am not naughty at all, and my appetite is very small. I only need one small steamed bun every day to be full."
"That can't be done. You are still young, and you need to eat more when you are growing." Zhou Jing smiled slightly, held her little hand, walked to the taxi, got in it, and returned home.
Back upstairs, Zhou Jing opened the door with the key and brought the little girl into the house. At this time, the door of the study room opened. Her mother, Yuan Xiuhua, had just finished correcting her homework. When she heard the noise, she walked out slowly. She saw the little girl.
The girl couldn't help but be stunned and said curiously: "Xiao Jing, whose child is this?"
Zhou Jing smiled, walked up to her, whispered, and explained the whole story clearly, and then whispered: "Mom, this child is quite pitiful, why don't we adopt him?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xiuhua's eyes turned red, so she walked over, bent down and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
The little girl touched her mouth with her hand and said with some restraint: "Those who don't have names, they all call me Xiaoqi."
Yuan Xiuhua sighed and said softly: "Let's go, let's take a shower first."
The little girl nodded and followed Yuan Xiuhua into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, she walked out carefully wearing a large T-shirt, holding the hem of the shirt with her hands.
Yuan Xiuhua entered the bedroom, pushed her husband Zhou Xueming awake, pulled him out, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, come and see, I have adopted a goddaughter, how do you think?"
Zhou Xueming was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly woke up. He looked at the little girl with wide eyes and nodded: "Yes, this child is very good, but how did you adopt her?"
"Xiao Jing brought it back from the train." Yuan Xiuhua leaned forward, told the story again, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, weren't you always thinking about having a daughter before, but this time it will come true.
"
Zhou Xueming chuckled, nodded and said, "Yes, this kid looks like a member of our family when he closes his eyes."
The little girl was extremely clever. After hearing what he said, she took a step forward and bowed: "Hello, daddy, hello, mommy. From now on, Xiaoqi will be your precious daughter."
"Okay, okay, look how sensible this kid is and how he can talk!" Yuan Xiuhua was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. She quickly put on her apron and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, you must be hungry after staying on the train for a long time.
Come on, mom will go and make you some supper right now."
The little girl smiled sweetly and said shyly: "Mom, it's too late. Don't be busy. Pay attention to rest and don't get tired."
Yuan Xiuhua was elated when she heard this, and said with a sweet smile: "I'm not tired, not at all. Xiao Qi, just sit there and rest for now. You'll be fine soon."
Zhou Xueming also said: "Xiao Qi is really sensible. Stop standing and sit down."
"Thank you, parents." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the edge of the sofa, and whispered: "Uncle, I will call you brother from now on."
Zhou Jing was a little dumbfounded. He touched his chin and said slowly: "This little mouth is so sweet. It seems that when you come to our house, I, the older brother, will fall out of favor!"
The little girl stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "Brother, I'm sorry. If I have done something wrong, you must tell me and I will change it."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, Sister Xiaoqi, you did a great job, we all like you."
The little girl said 'hmm' and sat next to him, holding her little face in her hands, looking around, blinking her big watery eyes, and said obediently: "Now that's good, Xiaoqi finally has a family!"
