Sun Xiaojie said, smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "It's better for you, such a big group is in the clothing industry, the real estate industry, and now it has to build a resort town and invest in movies... You are the only one
He is a winner in life!”
I remained silent.
She went on to say, "But, I see that your life is not very good. At least I can't see your real smile like before. Isn't it a lot of pressure?"
"Pressure is not important, but Xiaoxiao, do you know what I am facing now?"
"Come on, let's complain to each other today."
As she said that, she picked up the wine glass again and signaled that she wanted to clink glasses with me.
I also picked up the teacup and clinked it with her and said, "Drink less. Don't finish it in one gulp. Drink it slowly."
"Okay, tell me, what are you facing?"
After taking a sip of tea, I told An Lan everything he had experienced in London, including my current predicament.
Sun Xiaoxiao listened very carefully. After listening to what I said, he kept frowning.
After a long while, she said: "So, you have to spend 2.5 billion euros to rescue An Lan within half a year?"
"Yes, and there are only two months left."
"Do you have that much money?"
"No."
"What should we do?"
I shrugged and said, "I'm very confused, but I can only grit my teeth and persevere. No matter whether I can raise so much money after two months, I won't give up."
Sun Xiaojie said without hesitation: "I have made some money in the past two years. I have about a little over 100 million in my account. You can use it for emergencies first."
I smiled and waved my hand to her and said, "No need, this little money is not enough."
"If it's not enough, I'll raise it slowly. I'll ask familiar people in the circle to borrow it. A little bit is a little bit."
"Xiaoxiao, there's really no need for it, and don't worry. Although we haven't raised much money yet, everything is going in a good direction now."
After a slight pause, I added: "If it's really still bad by then, I plan to sell the group. I've already calculated that the group's current market value should be worth 1.5 billion."
"But Chen Feng, are you really willing to sell the business you built with great difficulty?"
"What's the point of being reluctant to give up? I can't just watch An Lan go to jail, right?"
Sun Xiaojie sighed heavily and said, "You are really an infatuated man."
"You are wrong. This is not infatuation. This is just what I should do as her husband... As long as she is fine, everything can start again."
"That's true," Sun Xiaojie said with a sigh of relief, "Anyway, if you are short of money, just tell me, I can help you with whatever I can, and don't be too little."
"Absolutely not. If we are really in need, I will definitely come to you."
"Okay, anyway, we old friends really don't see each other more than once, so you don't have to be polite to me. In my eyes, I have long treated you like an older brother."
"Then you call brother to listen."
"Brother." She really called out, and she called out very seriously.
I also said "Hey" very seriously, but the next moment she cried.
"What's wrong? I asked you to call me brother, but why did I make you cry?" I quickly pulled out two tissues and handed them to her.
Sun Xiaojie took the tissue and wiped her tears, choked up and said: "No, I don't know what's going on. I just feel...I feel like I have been wandering outside alone for so many years, and I don't have a true friend or a relative."
"Am I not?"
"You are, so I'm very touched."
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say, so I just stretched out my hands and said to her, “Give her a hug!”
Sun Xiaojie immediately threw herself into my arms, just like a sister leaning into her brother's arms. She cried again, and her tears quickly soaked my clothes.
I do know how difficult it has been for her along the way. Although she feels quite despicable now, in my opinion, this is just a small episode in her life.
If I were her, maybe I would make the same choice as her.
I patted her back gently, and she leaned tightly into my arms. She suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, if we are photographed by the paparazzi now, we will probably be on the news tomorrow."
I subconsciously became cautious and let go of her.
"Don't scare me!"
Sun Xiaojie wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said as if she was crying and laughing at the same time: "Don't worry, it won't happen. There will be no paparazzi following me. I came here disguised all the way."
"So are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, brother, thank you!"
"Thank you, silly sister! Go to bed, go to my room to sleep."
"Then where will you sleep? Sleep with me?"
"What are you thinking about? I'm going to my friend's room next door."
Sun Xiaojie smiled and said: "Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep, good night!"
"OK, good night!"
After sending her back to the room, I went to Li Kun's room next door.
It was already very late, and Li Kun had already gone to bed.
I'm also quite tired today. Although I didn't go to work, I stayed up late last night watching dramas and went to bed late. I got up early and had a long day of running around.
After falling on the bed, he fell asleep.
The next morning, I got up very early because I had to send Xiaoman to report to the new school today.
After washing, I came to the door of my room. I knocked on the door and shouted: "Xiaoxiao, are you up?"
Soon, the door opened, and it was Xiaoman who opened the door for me.
"dad."
I nodded and glanced into the room, but Sun Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen.
I immediately said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, where is the aunt who slept with you last night?"
"I don't know! I was alone when I got up just now."
Nani?
What's happening here?
I looked down at the courtyard again and saw that Boss Tang was exercising in the courtyard.
I asked him again: "Old Tang, have you seen Sun Yi?"
"I didn't see it! Didn't you two chat very late last night? She might still be sleeping."
Something is wrong!
I haven't seen her yet, but I sent her back to the house last night!
I quickly returned to the room, picked up my phone and was about to call Sun Xiaojie.
But I found a WeChat message from her, and the time it was sent was last night.
She said to me: "Brother, I'm back on set. Don't worry about me. Someone will pick me up... Next time I'm free, I'll come see you and have fun for a few days."
It turned out that she had left last night, so I replied to her: "Okay, but I still said what I said last night, take care of yourself. If you really treat me as your brother, then no matter what happens to you,
Give me a call if anything happens."
She was probably still busy or hadn't woken up yet, so she didn't reply to me.
I didn't care so much anymore. After a brief tidying up, I took Xiao Man to the city after breakfast.
Today's report went very smoothly. Everything was arranged yesterday. Today is just a matter of registration.
After completing a few simple procedures, Xiaoman was officially enrolled.
I don’t know if she is used to it, but as a father, I am not used to it, so I will definitely be worried.
However, children always have to grow up and become independent, and sometimes they have to let go.
