Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9015: Under the cliff, there is an abyss (1)

Xiao Mingzhang frowned slightly and said to Xiao Xisi: "Cut a table."

"Oh." Xiao seemed to agree and changed the channel casually.

It is another economic channel, and the female announcer is broadcasting recent news in the financial circle: "Recently, Qiongzhou Xinchen Design Company was officially established. There is news that the capital behind Xinchen is JY Group, and the boss of Xinchen is the eldest lady of the Beijing circle, Qiao. As an only daughter, Xinchen won important local projects as soon as it was established.”

Hearing the word "Qiongzhou", Xiao Mingzhang thought of his business trip in Qiongzhou in the first half of the year.

Xiao Si seemed to have thought about it and asked him: "Mr. Xiao, is Xiao planning to go to Qiongzhou to acquire land in the first half of the year?"

"Yes." He said calmly, "Xiao is not qualified yet."

"Hmm... I heard that it is a very good piece of land. Many companies are competing for it. It is normal that Xiao can't get it." Xiao seemed to have heard about that matter, "JY Group... sounds familiar. It is said that it is a domestic The upstart has strong momentum and overpowers many established enterprises in Qiongzhou.”

"The president of JY is a fox, how can those old guys in Qiongzhou be his rivals?"

"Mr. Xiao has seen this person?"

"No."

"This Miss Qiao is the CEO's new wife, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Mingzhang said in a calm voice, "I happened to be in Qiongzhou on the day of their wedding."

"What a coincidence? Has Mr. Xiao seen this young lady? I heard she is very beautiful."

"No, not interested either."

"JY and Qiao's can be considered a strong alliance."

"You look interested."

"The gossip about talented people and beautiful women is more or less interesting."

As they talked, the rest of the domestic financial news was playing on the radio.

The cold wind blew through the window, and a thin layer of moisture formed on the car glass.

"There are so many talented people and beautiful women in the world. This kind of marriage between wealthy families is just for everyone to get what they need." Xiao Mingzhang was not interested. "No matter how strong the JY Group is, it can't compare to the Qiao family in the capital. It's clear what Mr. Ji is thinking." . In the future, when the Qiao family is declining and Mr. Ji is at its peak, will the entire Qiao family be his?"

"Mr. Xiao, do you think so?"

"Otherwise? Huh?"

"I don't understand." Xiao shook his head and smiled, "I never thought about this."

The car circled upwards.

The sky was gloomy, and when Xiao Mingzhang's car stopped by the village again, a few snowflakes floated in the sky.

Xiao Sisi wrapped her scarf and got out of the car. She stretched out her hand in surprise: "Mr. Xiao, it's snowing. Winter comes early in Xuanzhou, and it snows early."

Xiao Mingzhang also got out of the car. He took a look at the familiar village and the dark sky, and strode forward.

He has a good memory and will never forget a journey he has taken.

This time, they still live in the village chief's house.

Time was running out, so Xiao Mingzhang packed up his things and took her to the mountain with him.

"Xiao Sisi, the road is not easy to walk, so you don't need to follow me."

"Mr. Xiao, the terrain in the mountains is too complicated, and you will get lost."

"I remember the path I took."

"You will also get lost." Xiao seemed worried, "Since I'm here, I must be going to the mountains. I also plan to find some medicinal herbs."

"You seem to know a lot about herbal medicine."

"My dad used to be a doctor."

"Your dad?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell Mr. Xiao that he died when I was very young, so I was later adopted by Langshan Welfare Home."

"Where's your mother?"

"I don't know. I haven't had it since I was a child."

"How come there isn't? It's not like it just jumped out of a rock."

"It might as well have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks."

When it comes to the past, she doesn't feel too sad anymore, after all, so many years have passed.

Her father died when she was very young, before she could ask him who her mother was and where she was.

"It seems that you are an orphan like me." Xiao Mingzhang walked ahead and pushed aside the bushes in front of him. "It's different." She murmured.

Following him, they walked forward along the same path as last time.

In winter, the soil is dry, the trees are bare, and the ground is full of rotten dead leaves.

When he saw the herb he was looking for, Xiao seemed to take it out and put it into his backpack.

Snowflakes gradually began to float in the sky, and the light snow at the beginning gradually turned into heavy snow.

Not long after, a layer of snow fell on both Xiao Mingzhang and Xiao Xisi.

"Mr. Xiao, it's snowing." She raised her head.

Xiao Mingzhang walked faster. He stood in front of her, like a straight sculpture, with an upright figure and a bleak back.

The cold wind blew past his side, and the white snowflakes fell one by one on his black hair and coat. He seemed to be a lonely and lonely individual in the vast world.

"Mr. Xiao, it's snowing heavily. We have to rush back today, otherwise we will be trapped on the mountain."

"Ah."

"Mr. Xiao, are you cold? I'll give you the scarf!"

"Need not."

"Mr. Xiao, you have worked so hard on this project, have you ever thought about... is it worth it?"

"Xiao Sisi, you talk so much."

"..."

He thought she talked too much, so she simply stopped talking.

For a moment, there was only the sound of howling wind.

After walking a long way, Xiao Mingzhang stopped and waited for her halfway, watching her slim figure follow her little by little.

"Xiao Sisi, why don't you speak?"

"You said I talk too much."

"Then just say less."

"..." It's hard for her to be a human being.

When she caught up, he slowed down and continued walking side by side with her.

This road was different from the last one. Halfway through, Xiao Mingzhang stopped and suddenly his pupils shrank.

There were violent images rolling in his mind. Xiao Mingzhang closed his eyes, and frames after frames passed before his eyes. The night, the car, the torrent, the abyss...

With a splitting headache, Xiao Mingzhang frowned and his hands trembled imperceptibly.

"Mr. Xiao!" Xiao Sisi hurriedly supported him and saw sweat dripping from his forehead, "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong? What's wrong? Do you have any medicine?"

Xiao Mingzhang pursed his thin lips tightly and closed his eyes.

After calming down for a long time, he tried to control himself and delete the strange and exciting images in his mind.

However, the more I want to delete it, the more I get a headache.

Xiao Mingzhang's hands were cold and his face was pale.

Xiao Xixi grasped his arm tightly and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water: "Mr. Xiao, please take a rest."

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes: "It's okay."

"Mr. Xiao, do you want to go back? It's too cold outside."

Xiao Mingzhang said nothing, looking straight at the cliff on the other side of the mountain.

Under the cliff is an abyss.

Xiao Mingzhang clenched his fists, and his palms were covered with a layer of greasy sweat. The man's deep eyes looked toward the other side of the mountain, and he said nothing for a long time.

During this period, he frequently dreamed of a cliff that he had never seen before.

But he didn't expect that the cliff in his dream actually existed, right here.

In the dream, a car rolled over the cliff and crashed.

Isn't it, this is the place.
