Seeing Ding Xuerong finally leaving helplessly, Cao Mo got out of the car and moved the luggage into the trunk of the car for Chen Chang and her parents.
Cao Mo sat in the cab, turned around and was about to tell Zhou Jie how to move the middle seat upright, when he saw Yu Jing, who was struggling a lot in her heart, bit her lip and said to Zhou Jie:
"Zhou Jie, let's break up..."
"Ah!" Cao Mo was stunned. Is it a particularly good day to break up today?
He has witnessed the third pair of chickens and eggs being beaten today!
Zhou Jie also seemed to have been slapped suddenly. He looked at Yu Jing blankly, his lips trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Young man, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding! You actually don't like me, and I don't like you enough. It's just that sometimes I'm too lonely, and I think it's good to have someone with me. Now I understand, even if I'm a little lonely, it's okay!
"Yu Jing said.
"Is today a particularly good day to break up?" Cao Mo asked Cheng Xi in a low voice in the passenger seat.
"Why are you looking at me with a guilty conscience? Even if I want to get rid of you today, there is nothing I can do!" Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and said.
Zhou Jie stepped into the carriage, and the atmosphere in the carriage was silent. Cao Mo looked at Yu Jing, who was usually weak-tempered, in the rearview mirror. She was very determined at this moment.
Yu Jing has a simple personality, and her demands for emotions are even purer. It can be seen that the idea of breaking up has been lingering in her mind for many days. Today, she was stimulated by the incident between Chen Chang and Ding Xuerong, and she made up her mind.
No thought of looking back.
Seeing Zhou Jie's sad look on the verge of tears, Cao Mo knew that the cruel fact that suddenly happened to him at this moment was difficult for him to face.
The terrifying intuition that was almost telepathic was sometimes not a good thing. Cao Mo even wanted to light a cigarette to lighten the depressing atmosphere in the carriage that made it difficult to breathe.
In Xinhai, he had very few peers with whom he had contact after graduating from high school; Yu Jing and Chen Chang were even considered peers with whom he had close contact.
From a purely personal perspective, Yu Jing, who is simple-minded and has purer emotional requirements, is certainly more suitable as a friend, while Chen Chang is more realistic and even philistine.
However, when I think about it, before I became successful, wasn’t it true that what I was thinking about all day long was being indifferent to human feelings and trying to get ahead?
No one in this society is perfect, especially in a city like Xinhai where the vast majority of ordinary people can never avoid the feeling of insignificance and powerlessness in their hearts. For young people like Zhou Jie who want to take root here and find their own place, he
Are their arrogance and immature scheming really unforgivable shortcomings?
Perhaps realizing that there was no way back, Zhou Jie retracted his foot, silently closed the car door from the outside, and stood on the side of the road.
Cao Mo waved to Zhou Jie as a farewell.
After two brief contacts, Cao Mo's attitude towards Zhou Jie was not enthusiastic. As sensitive as Zhou Jie was, he actually knew that Cao Mo did not appreciate people like him. At this time, Cao Mo did not gloat about his misfortune, but sincerely approached him.
He almost gestured, but it also made him slightly surprised.
Of course Cao Mo couldn't care about other people's emotional affairs. He slowly turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and drove towards Tianzifang.
Muxiang B&B is almost fully booked during the Spring Festival, and there are very few restaurants open in Tianzifang tonight. The inn has to provide light meals for guests who have not booked the New Year’s Eve dinner. In comparison, it is much busier than usual. Jiaying
Bring Lily here to help.
Jiaying, who has been looked down upon a lot since she was a child and has a deep understanding of the warmth and warmth of human nature, felt the same when she heard what Chen Chang's family was going through. Before she ran, she helped them settle into a house and comforted them: "Sister Chen Chang is so beautiful.
Educational qualifications
He is good and capable. With so many people pursuing him, he cannot rush to settle down his life. There are so many good young people in Xinhai, but no one likes my brother..."
After settling in the guest room, Cao Mo took Chen Chang and Yu Jing to the new house as guests.
Chen Chang and Yu Jing broke up at the same time today, so Cheng Xi called her mother regardless and said she wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Yu Jing and Chen Chang and not go back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Except for Han Shuyun, who has a cold temperament and ignores everyone, Cao Mo's family is warm and sincere in their treatment of others, but it also dilutes the sad and even cruel atmosphere today.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone accompanied Chen Chang's parents to visit Tianzifang.
The cruise boats on the Qingtang River were still in operation on New Year's Eve, and everyone enthusiastically chartered a cruise boat to cruise on the Qingtang River and enjoy the quiet starry night.
Chen Chang and her parents were dressed more plainly. Although they were only middle school teachers in a rural town in Hunan, their conversational skills were quite good. They kept receiving calls from students at night to pay New Year's greetings. Even though they were looked down upon by the city, they still had something to be proud of.
On the cruise ship, Cao Mo received a call from Kabuga.
Although it has been ten years since Stru withdrew from the Drake Gold Mine, the data is well preserved. Kabuga and the others spent a day to find the three remaining exploration wells around the town of Drake.
, even the derrick, immersed tube and other equipment are still there.
This shows that the materials provided by Almoududi are indeed credible.
Kabuga was also very excited and urged Cao Mo to return to Africa quickly.
If there really was a super-large copper-gold mine underground at Drake, the initial investment in exploration alone might be more than ten times the original budget.
Unfortunately, the economic restructuring of Akwa has not yet officially begun, and foreign capital is currently restricted from directly entering mineral development. The matter involves extremely complex levels, and it is no longer something Kabuga can solve. He urgently needs Cao Mo to rush back to Akwa in person.
Take charge of the situation.
Cao Mo gave Lu Jianchao half a month's deadline. He originally wanted to spend the Lantern Festival in Xinhai happily and return to Kanem with the acquisition agreement for Beiku Cement Plant and Xintaihua Grinding Station, but now he has to consider rushing to the final destination.
Fast flight out of Xinhai.
"Brother, your colleagues in Dongsheng also went out to take a cruise on New Year's Eve!"
Jiaying had sharp eyes, pushed Cao Mo's shoulder and shouted.
Cao Mo was stunned when he saw Zhou Han, Song Yuqing and her family approaching each other on another cruise ship.
Song Yuqing and Zhou Han tried their best to pretend that they didn't recognize Cao Mo, but it was her mother. Her aunt still believed that Cao Mo was a "scumbag" who threw Zhou Han away after losing his temper in the middle of the night. She stared straight at him and called Cao Mo.
Mo subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
"Mr. Chen, Manager Cao, are you going to visit Qingtang River on New Year's Eve?" Zhou Han responded quickly and greeted Chen Rong openly.
The two cruise ships were chartered separately. When the driver saw that they knew each other, he deliberately stopped the motor to facilitate greetings between the two parties.
Cao Mo wanted to grab the pilots of the two ships and kick them. Damn, how could he exchange greetings with them?
Song Yuqing was the most coward, huddled behind and remained silent.
Cao Mo forced himself to calmly point to the headphones hanging on his ears, and said to Zhou Han seriously:
"I was answering the phone just now, but I didn't even notice that something happened over there in Akwa. We need to go back early. You can check later to see if there are any tickets for the return day after tomorrow. It can be from any country, as long as you can get a visa on arrival!"
Zhou Han didn't even know about the Drake Copper and Gold Mine. He opened his beautiful and deep eyes and stared at Cao Mo with some confusion. He didn't know if he really wanted to set off from Xinhai the day after tomorrow, or if Cao Mo was talking in a panic.
nonsense.
"It's really something. I'll go back and pass the information to you later."
Don't wander around outside on such a cold day, go back early!" Cao Mo said.
Song Yuqing's mother and her aunt almost saw Cao Mo getting up from Zhou Han's bed. When they heard Cao Mo's words, they thought it was because Cao Mo did not dare to disclose his "relationship" with Zhou Han in front of his family. Song Yuqing
Her mother has a weak temper but that's okay. Her aunt Su Xiu has experienced too many things and has developed a fierce and strong temper. At this time, she couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"Isn't this Xiao Cao? Two days ago, he followed Zhou Han and called me aunt. Why are my eyes so long today that I can't recognize anyone?"
If the river hadn't been too cold that day, Cao Mo would have jumped into the river and swam away, but he didn't want to deal with this situation.
Cao Mo could only smile awkwardly at Aunt Song Yuqing: "I just received a call. Something happened in Africa. It's quite urgent. I didn't even bother to greet you for the moment..."
"Do you live across the river?" Mrs. Cao came over to greet Aunt Song Yuqing, "I saw you entering the yard when I was passing Qingtang Lane to buy groceries in the morning. At that time, I was wondering why there are such handsome girls.
Both of you are colleagues of Cao Mo. We live across from your house at No. 118, Tianzifang Main Street. We just moved here yesterday. From now on, we will be neighbors. You guys often come over to visit, right? Do you like to play cards?
"
What is this all about?
Mrs. Cao was lonely in the poker world and hated people. She actually put the idea of finding new poker friends on the head of Song Yuqing's mother and her aunt. Cao Mo suddenly felt like he had a headache.
Fortunately, Song Yuqing urged the driver to start the boat first, and after a few casual greetings, the two cruise ships finally staggered.
Han Shuyun, who was forced to accompany her on the cruise, had always been depressed. She and Chen Rong had already met Zhou Han, Song Yuqing and Zhou Jun when they went to Dracula. Of course, they had already noticed that the scene just now was weird.
When she had the chance to fight back, she would never let Cao Mo go. She climbed up and sat down in front of Cao Mo. In front of Cheng Xi, she stared at Cao Mo like a thief and asked, "Isn't that Zhou Han Lu Yan?"
Girlfriend, when did you get to dictate to her? Also, why didn’t you say a word to Song Yuqing? Is there something wrong with you?"
Chen Rong most suspected that Cao Mo had some shady relationship with Song Yuqing, but in her opinion, Song Yuqing was a married woman and there was no possibility of anything happening with Cao Mo. In her heart, she hoped that Cao Mo would be with Cheng Xi, their childhood sweethearts.
Can be a pair.
She took the initiative to cover for Cao Mo and dragged Han Shuyun back: "What are you asking about the company's trade secrets?"
"Lu Yan? Is that the eldest son of the Lu family whom I met at Yinguang Square the day before yesterday?" Cheng Xi asked Cao Mo doubtfully, "Is that beautiful girl Lu Yan's girlfriend?"
"Things are a little complicated. Anyway, she had a falling out with Lu Yan, and now I hired her to be my secretary," Cao Mo said. "When the young master of the Lu family saw me that day, he looked like he wanted to eat me. He probably misunderstood me."
She thought I had an affair with her, but I was really wronged!"
"With such a beautiful girl working as your secretary, you really have nothing to do with her? I wouldn't believe it, so you just fooled Cheng Xi!" Han Shuyun shrank aside and did not forget to sow discord, "Which one of you men is a good guy?"
"Come on, come on, besides that man named Zhang Daya and your father Han Shaorong, do you know a few men who are not good people? Tell us about them?" When the topic turned to Zhou Han, Cao Mo didn't feel guilty.
Yes, he asked Han Shuyun sarcastically...
"You are not a good person either!" As soon as Han Shuyun said these words, he felt that Cao Mo had missed the point. Looking at the faces of others, they believed that she was childish, impulsive, and deliberately finding fault with Cao Mo.
There was nothing she could do against Cao Mo if they continued to argue, but her eyes drifted towards the departing cruise ship, and she was sure that Cao Mo and Song Yuqing were definitely up to something...
