i'm not a bad man

Chapter 259 Stepping Stones on the Road to Success
Regarding the current situation, I gave myself too many psychological hints, completely forgetting that it was in broad daylight at this moment, and it was also Chang Yuli's home. When I heard Qiao Jiao's scream, I felt numb all over my body, and then After rushing down from the third floor, Chang Tianming and others were startled by my reaction, and immediately followed me downstairs.

The situation on the first floor is really frightening. I saw thick black smoke coming out of a certain room. In this bright world, does anyone really dare to kill people and set fire?
This thought just flashed through my mind, and I quickly rushed into the room where black smoke was coming out, and found Chang Yuli, Luo Congwen and Luo Congwu there, staring at Qiao Jiao in amazement.

I saw Qiao Jiao holding a black pot. The thick smoke came out of this black pot, and there was a black paste-like substance stuck in the pot.

Seeing that everyone was alarmed, Qiao Jiao seemed very embarrassed, so she subconsciously touched her face with her hand, and immediately covered her face with pot ashes, but she didn't even notice...

"Sister Jiao, holy shit, what are you doing?"

Qiao Jiao smiled coquettishly and replied: "It's boiling lard. I read on the Internet that bread made from lard is the most fragrant."

I looked into the pot again and asked in disbelief: "You call this thing in the pot lard?"

"Originally, it was indeed lard, but after simmering it for a long time, it turned into this..." As soon as Qiao Jiao finished speaking, the handle of the black pot broke without warning, and the black pot fell to the ground with another loud sound. The noise in the whole room really startled everyone present!
Qiao Jiao was stunned on the spot, with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Looking at her smeared face, I felt even more dumbfounded than she was. So after a while, I spoke to her and said, "You are starting a business after all?" , or the house was raided, and the whole kitchen was almost destroyed by you!"

Qiao Jiao looked at me, then at everyone, and laughed out loud, looking heartless, and replied: "First demolish the house, then start a business... If I succeed in starting a business in the future, A TV station interviewed me, and I recounted today's history of blood and tears with snot and tears. You don't even know how thrilling it was just now. This black thing was actually set on fire, and the flames spread so much. high……"

Qiao Jiao tried to figure out...

I interrupted her with a straight face: "Stop gesticulating, and don't think so far ahead about what will happen in the future. Just go and wipe the pot ashes off your face first. Some people may think you are a native of some primitive tribe." Woolen cloth."

Qiao Jiao then took out her mobile phone, turned on the front camera, looked at it, and then stuck out her tongue at me...

I don’t know what’s going on, but for such a gray-faced and unrepentant person, I actually found her a little bit cute at a certain moment; why do I say it was a certain moment?
Because the next moment, the fire protection system in the kitchen was activated. The sprinkler head installed on the top of the wall, which was a little unresponsive, sprayed water on us like a revenge...

It was a cold winter, so you can imagine how embarrassed everyone was. But among them, even though there were two martial arts brothers, Luo Congwen and Luo Congwu, it was Qiao Jiao who reacted the fastest. She was the first to escape and ran to Outside the kitchen... the older Chang Tianming, Director Wang, and Director Wu were in a miserable state. Because of their slow reaction and strong desire to survive, they were stuck in the door and unable to move. They were soaked in the rain and turned into soaked chickens. Luo Congwen and Luo Congwu dragged me out!
……

Is this considered causing trouble?
They must have gotten into trouble, because they saw Chang Tianming, Director Wang, and Director Wu standing in the cold wind, wiping their wet hair with a clean towel with a cold face, but because of their dignity, they didn't know how to react.

Finally, Chang Tianming smiled helplessly and said: "Today's young people have really forgotten all about respecting the elderly and loving the young."

Director Wang and Director Wu also reluctantly agreed: "No!"

Qiao Jiao then looked guilty, clasped her hands and said to the three of them: "Uncles, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it... When I have the opportunity to tell the camera about this history of blood and tears, I will definitely I will bring you with me. Without your efforts today, there will be no glory for me tomorrow. You are all my nobles!"

Who can really argue with such a Qiao Jiao, so the three of them could only shake their heads and smile, swallowing the pain Qiao Jiao gave them.

After a long while, Chang Tianming replied: "If you really want to learn to make pastry, I'll find a place for you to learn... I have a friend who opened the only five-star hotel in the town and hired all the craftsmen. A very good pastry chef, he also sells Western pastries. If you go to his hotel to learn, it will be much more reliable than making trouble at home!"

"Uncle Chang, are you telling the truth?"

"Do I dare not tell the truth? If I let you continue to mess around like this at home, this time it was a fluke, and it was just a little bit wet. Who knows whether you will directly destroy the house next time, we are old bones You can't run, you can't shout, it's just a stepping stone to your success."

"Exaggeration!" Qiao Jiao complained shyly, causing everyone to laugh. I also laughed, and suddenly I had some thoughts in my heart. I knew why I was more willing to choose Chang Tianming and his son, because when I get along with them, I feel more comfortable. We were harmonious, and even felt like family members. It seemed that no matter how hard Qiao Jiao and I tried, they didn't care. Especially Chang Yuli, who knew that it was inconvenient for me to have no car in a small town, so he simply gave him his Mercedes-Benz G. I used it, and I found an old Buick GL8 on the construction site and drove it around. I told him about it and felt it was inappropriate, but he said that I wanted to negotiate on behalf of the Danangou Scenic Area. This car was left to me, but what I lack most is this sense of belonging, isn't it?

……

I went back to the room, took a hot bath, and then lay on the bed. I was very tired, mentally and physically, but I didn't give myself much rest time. I just planned to close my eyes and relax for a while, not even Going to sleep.

Just when I started to feel drowsy, the sudden ringtone of my cell phone suddenly woke me up again. I sat on the bed, wiped my face hard, and then picked up the phone and looked at it. The call was from Ren Ran. Called here.

"Miss Ran."

On the other end of the phone, Ren Ran's voice was very soft: "I am calling you to tell you that we are preparing to return to Qingdao."

Since Ren Ran came over, I didn’t even have a good meal with them, let alone visit the various attractions in the town with them, but it was so difficult for them to come, especially Ren Ran, I am better than anyone else. Knowing how tight the construction schedule at her construction site was, she was able to come to the small town only because she had squeezed out the time.

I was anxious, and I said to her eagerly: "Sister Ran, don't leave in a hurry. At least you can't leave today. No matter how busy I am tonight, I will definitely take the time to have a good meal with you."

Ren Ran smiled and replied: "No need, we are already on the highway." After a short pause, she said to me with a slightly relieved tone: "Eating or not is just a matter of fact. Form, the two of us have already surpassed this form, so there is really no need to care about this, and how you entertain me is not the purpose of my coming here... I just want to see how you are doing here. Okay... After seeing your performance at the bonfire party yesterday, it completely exceeded my expectations, so I feel relieved... I can rest assured that you stay in the small town, so that I can concentrate on my own career... "

"But I still feel very sad. I don't care that much whether I eat or not. What I care about is that I didn't take the opportunity of you to come to the small town to have a good chat with you."

"There's no need to worry about it. The days are long and it's not like you won't go back to Qingdao... When you arrive in Qingdao, the first friend you think of will definitely be Sister Ran and me. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to drink and chat?"

"Didn't you say that after completing the cultural tourism project in Rizhao, you would take your parents to immigrate?...Do we really have a chance to drink and chat?"

"Oh my God, what are you thinking about? It will take me at least two years to complete this project. Do you plan not to return to Qingdao for two years?"

"Who knows..."

My answer made Ren Ran a little discouraged, so that after a while of silence, he replied: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to Qingdao. At worst, before immigrating, I brought my parents to the small town to see you... I have been here more than once When they mention you in front of them, you will definitely have your own career by then and let them see how successful you are. As a sister, I also have a lot of face, so I will never misjudge the person!"

"Miss Ran!"

I was moved, but I didn't know how to express it.

"We don't need to say too many false words between us, let's keep it all secret... The only thing I'm worried about now is you and Xiaowei. I always feel that her relationship with Guan Yubo is a bit inexplicable... If, I am She said that if you have conflicts in the future, as a man, you should let her go. After all, I once truly loved you..." After a pause, Ren Ran changed his words and said, "Actually, there is no need to talk about two people who have separated. Whether you love her or not, I just think Xiaowei is quite pitiful... When necessary, let her go. Apart from being together once, you are also real friends, so there is no need to become enemies."

After a while of silence, I whispered back: "I know, Sister Ran."

Ren Ran responded, seemingly unfinished, but still in my daze, I silently hung up the phone. When I saw the end-of-call message, I felt even worse!
I haven't had time to tell her that in a few moments, I will go to meet Zuo Xiaowei, but I am not mentally prepared to face her.
