A sickly bamboo horse dressed as a villain

Chen Canaan has many shortcomings, but he also has many advantages, and there is really nothing to say about his mobility.I made up my mind to learn English well, so I really started to study hard.

He took the initiative to pull Qiao Wen to teach him words and sentences every day, and has many bad habits of beginners, like to jump out loudly word by word.

Seeing Qiao Wen yelling "Goodmorning" in the morning, and saying "Goodnight" before going to bed at night, Qiao Wen often jumped when he was startled.And when it comes to learning, he is bold and thick-skinned. Whenever he bumps into a ghost on the street, he will suddenly run over and speak a few words of his newly learned English loudly to them.

A few foreign policemen who were patrolling near their home, after being blocked by him for three consecutive days, were unbearably disturbed, and after seeing him, they took a detour.

A week passed quickly, and it was time to go to the racetrack to watch the horse race.

People in Hong Kong love to bet on horses, and the racecourse on race day is crowded with spectators.But although rich people and ordinary people watch the same horse race, the treatment is quite different.

For example, Zhou Chaozheng has an exclusive box in the viewing area of ​​the racecourse.

When Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan were led to the box by his subordinates, the boss Zhou had already had tea, and there was a beautiful woman sitting beside him. It wasn't Mrs. Zhou from the last reception, but Qiao Wen had seen it before—— In the pictorial, it was Su Zhizhi, a famous movie star in Hong Kong City.

The rich and the famous, this is the normal state of the upper class in Hong Kong City, and it is also the topic that ordinary people like to talk about after dinner.

"Uncle Ninth!" Qiao Wen greeted with a smile.

Zhou Chao smiled and nodded towards the person: "Come on, sit down!" He didn't introduce the beauties, but asked someone to pour tea for the two of them.

This big star has a good level of tea art. He poured the tea like a performance. After pouring the tea, he said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, take it easy."

Zhou Chao was sipping his tea, and asked casually, "Did the two of you buy a good horse?"

Qiao Wen said: "Brother Nan and I don't understand horses, so we just randomly chose the second horse."

"What a coincidence?" Zhou Chaozheng raised his brows and laughed loudly, "The number two horse happens to be my favorite horse, Lei Ting."

"Really?" Qiao Wen pretended to be surprised, "It seems that we can win money today."

Zhou Chaozheng smiled and shook his head: "I guess I'll disappoint you guys. My horse Thunder was originally a sick horse. Others didn't want it. I saw how pitiful it was, so I bought him and raised it for more than a year, but my body is still healthy. Okay, but I still don’t qualify as a horse racer, and it’s already giving me face if I don’t finish last.”

"Everything has a soul. Uncle Nine treats a sick horse so kindly. I believe your beloved horse will stand up for you. Maybe you can run a good result today."

Zhou Chaozheng said: "If this is the case, it is probably because of the luck brought by the two little friends."

Qiao Wen smiled and took a sip of his tea. The tea was the best Biluochun tea, which tasted sweet and fragrant, but he didn't care to feel the sweetness after the tea flowed over his tongue, but frowned suspiciously.

There is a huge difference between them and Zhou Chaozheng in terms of status and wealth, and the other party really doesn't need to make friends with them deliberately.If it's just to get that piece of wasteland, isn't it too much to treat the two commoners like this?

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what was wrong.

"It's about to start, let's see how lucky you are today?"

Qiao Wen's contemplation was interrupted by Zhou Chaozheng. He stood up with others, lay down on the balcony, and looked down at the horse race that was about to start.

As soon as the command sounded, a dozen or so armored jockeys galloped out of the gates and galloped across the green field, riding a dozen fat and strong racehorses.On the viewing platform with a sea of ​​people, the sound of cheers and cheers was overwhelming and deafening.

Originally Zhou Chaozheng's No. 200 horse had been running countdown, but suddenly accelerated in the last [-] meters.

"Come on!" Zhou Chao clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

Not only him, even Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan couldn't help cheering when Lei Ting first rushed to the finish line.

"Little Qiao, you've won!" Chen Canaan hugged Qiao Wen excitedly.

Qiao Wen let him hold her, and felt that although the horse race was short, it was exciting to watch.

Zhou Chao was clapping his hands and turned around, and said with a loud smile, "It seems that the two friends are really my lucky stars. Come, come, let's have a cup of tea to celebrate."

Several people returned to the table and clinked glasses with tea instead of wine.

Boss Zhou really did not play cards according to common sense. While Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan were still immersed in the excitement of the horse race just now, he suddenly took out a check, slid it across the table and handed it to the two of them: " Two little friends, here is 500 million."

Qiao Wen put down his glass, his eyes fell on the check on the table, he understood it, but looked at him pretending to be puzzled: "Uncle Jiu, you are..."

Zhou Chaozheng smiled and said: "To be honest, I invited two young friends to the racetrack today, not only to watch the race, but also to discuss something with the two of you."

"Uncle Jiu said it directly."

Zhou Chaozheng said unhurriedly: "I know that the two of you opened a real estate company and acquired a lot of land. Presumably you two also know that our company also has real estate development business. The good land has been divided by several people over the years. Almost, the land in my hands has basically been developed, and now I urgently need new land. I also accidentally learned that the two of you have acquired a piece of wasteland near Qingshui Bay, which is halfway up the mountain and facing the sea. This is 500 million, which is the fourth of your land acquisition last year. times, which is also much higher than the current market price. I wonder if the two little friends can part with that piece of land to me?"

As expected, it was still for that piece of land, Qiao Wen said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, this is really a coincidence, we have more than a dozen pieces of land in our hands, if Uncle Jiu likes other lands, we are fine, but only this one It’s been planned and there’s really no way.”

Zhou Chao raised his brows and said, "So you two also want to build a house?"

Qiao Wen nodded: "That's the plan."

Zhou Chao was holding the finger of the teacup, gently rubbing the edge of the cup, silent for a moment, and said: "If you build a building by yourself, the land seems too big. If you want to develop a real estate, with your current capital, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult. No Talking about the cost of building a building, even if you open up various departments, you need a background. To put it bluntly, not everyone can make money by building a building." He paused slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Actually, as long as there are no bad habits, 500 million is enough Most people have lived their lives without worrying about food and clothing, but if it were someone else, they would accept this check without hesitation."

Qiao Wen smiled and said, "Uncle Nine is right, but we are young and can afford it, so we want to try it ourselves."

Zhou Chao was putting away the check, leaned back in his chair with a smile, looked at him with an unpredictable expression, nodded and said: "It seems that you two are people with big ideals. Although I come from a rich family, I have always admired those who start from scratch and have ambitions. Young man. Since the two of you don't want to part with each other, I can't force it. In any case, I'm determined to make friends with you two." After finishing speaking, he raised his teacup, "Uncle Nine wishes you both a bright future and a bright future. .”

Qiao Wen said: "According to Uncle Jiu's auspicious words, it is also an honor for us to know Uncle Jiu."

After drinking tea, Zhou Chaozheng took the two of them to see his horse again.It was already evening when we left the racetrack.

After getting into the taxi, seeing Qiao Wen's preoccupied appearance, Chen Jianan asked strangely, "Little Qiao, what's the matter?"

Qiao Wen shook his head: "I just think Boss Zhou is a bit strange."

"Why is it strange?"

Qiao Wen looked up at him: "Don't you think it's strange that he, a big boss from a famous family, took the initiative to befriend us two poor boys? At first I thought he was just for that piece of land, but after I rejected him, he saw It doesn’t seem to matter at all, and it’s not as inevitable as I thought.”

Of course, it’s not surprising. That piece of land has a theoretical chance to earn 3000 to 1000 million yuan, but this is also the most ideal state. In fact, excluding all kinds of unpredictable expenses, earning more than [-] million yuan is considered pretty good. .

Of course, 1000 million is also a huge number, but for the top rich man in the city like Zhou Chaozheng, 1000 million is obviously not too much.So it seems plausible that he doesn't have to take the land.

But what surprised Qiao Wen was that after confirming that they would not sell the land, Zhou Chaozheng was still very warm to the two of them. To friends from all walks of life.It looks like he is really sincerely supporting young people.

Qiao Wen never believed in inexplicable kindness, let alone between people with completely unequal status.If a person has no reason to be nice to another person, then he must want to get something from him.

It's just that he still can't think of anything about him and Chen Jianan that Zhou Chaozheng is interested in besides the land.

Chen Jianan didn't take his words seriously: "Never mind him, anyway, a rich man like him wouldn't be trying to cheat us out of money."

Qiao Wen was amused by his thinking, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable, as long as it wasn't a scam, there was nothing to worry about.

He looked at him calmly. In fact, it is possible for a person to be nice to a person without asking for anything in return, at least Chen Jianan was to Qiao Wen.

He sighed silently as if disappointed, but he didn't quite know what he was sighing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Chen Jianan, who was wearing a vest and shorts, came to Qiao's house to report on time. He straightened his body and greeted loudly in broken English: "My dear brother, good evening!"

Qiao Wen shook his head amusedly: "Grandma just fell asleep, please keep your voice down, don't disturb the old man."

Chen Jianan stuck out his tongue, followed Qiao Wen into his room, jumped onto the bed nimbly, and sat cross-legged: "Hurry up, teach me the new sentences I need to learn today."

Qiao Wen was quite satisfied with how studious he is now, so he took the books and study cards specially made for him, and went to bed and sat opposite him.

In fact, Chen Jianan's memory and learning ability are quite good. He used to study poorly because he didn't want to learn. Now he wants to learn, and with Qiao Wen as a good teacher, he can get twice the result with half the effort.After a few days, it became smoother every time.

Tonight, it took only half an hour to learn the one-hour plan, and even Qiao Wen couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Brother Nan, it's not bad! If you continue like this, you can get into a university." Qiao Wen joked as he put down his book.

Chen Jianan rolled happily on his big bed, and said, "That's right, I didn't like to study before, if I did, I wouldn't even look at Hong Kong City University, I'm afraid I've already entered Cambridge and Oxford. "

Qiao Wen saw that he was bright because of some color, lay down and kicked him lightly: "When you can read newspapers in English, let's talk about this big talk."

Chen Jianan chuckled, turned over, stretched out two strong long legs to wrap around his legs and rubbed them for fun.

Qiao Wen said: "Brother Nan, your legs have too much hair, it's very itchy!"

"Leg hair means you have strength." Chen Jianan sat up halfway, and put his legs side by side with him, one white and one black were very distinct, he let out a snort, "I just realized that you have so little leg hair , like a girl, white and tender."

As he spoke, he grinned with a smirk, and stretched out his hand to pull his pants, "Let me see if there are too few of you here?"

Qiao Wen opened his Lushan claws: "Don't make trouble!"

Chen Jianan withdrew his hand with a smile, and muttered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Ever since Qiao Wen became this Qiao Wen, he has been a little ashamed to show his body, because this body is really not manly enough. Of course, all the parts are complete, and the configuration is within the normal range, but the whole body is too white and tender.

He tried to bask in the sun, but because his body was too weak to withstand the sun, he had to give up.

Being teased by Chen Jianan at this moment, he couldn't help but glance up and down at the guy next to him.Wheat-colored skin, a strong body, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, all show health and vitality, full of youthful hormones.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother Nan, it's your birthday at the end of the month, how do you want to spend it?"

Chen Jianan said nonchalantly: "I grew up so big, every time I have a birthday, my aunt will cook me a bowl of noodles. Children from poor families don't pay much attention to this."

Qiao Wen smiled: "Aren't we not poor now? It's quite meaningful to be 20 years old, and we should have a good time."

Chen Jianan thought for a while and said, "Then let me live with you two, let's find a place to play for a day?"

Qiao Wen nodded: "Yes, there is still time. Think about it slowly, there are quite a lot of places to play in Hong Kong City. I was not in good health before, so I didn't go there much."

Chen Jianan smiled and said, "Then I have to seriously find a fun place."

Going out with Qiao Wen alone and widowed, I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it.

Qiao Wen didn't know what Chen Canaan expected, because he started to prepare for the land development the next day.

In addition to going to work at Mengzhen Clothing, he usually has to find time to collect various information about the real estate industry, because Chen Jianan doesn't like to read, and he can't count on him to help, and these information alone often make him burnt out.

However, with Tang Xingwei now, the other party really lived up to his expectations. He was a very hardworking young man. After only a few days of work, Qiao Wen was liberated from the cumbersome materials, and the information and materials collected were abundant and complete. After sorting out It is also clear at a glance.

To develop land, the first step is to prepare materials and apply for approval.

They prepared sufficient materials, invited several executives to dinner, and stuffed a few big red envelopes to sort them out one by one, but the documents were never approved.

Although Qiao Wen had expected it, he still suffered from the successive encounters.

He kind of realized what Zhou Chaozheng said, how difficult it is for people without background to do real estate in this era - of course, he has every reason to suspect that this difficulty is also fueled by Zhou Chaozheng, a big man.

He decided not to fight to the death with those people in Yamen.

Since it is because there is no background, then find a background by yourself.

"Little Qiao, it's very hot on Saturday, why don't you drink soda and blow the fan at home, what are you doing in the Yuwu District?"

Hong Kong City in early September was indeed still very hot. Qiao Wen was wearing a sun hat and was still sweating from being roasted by the autumn tiger.He said, "Come to Mr. Ouyang."

"As for the famous architect you mentioned?"

Qiao Wen nodded.

"He a great architect lives here?"

Qiao Wen smiled: "No, I just heard that he recently helped repair the burnt-out Yuwu area at his own expense."

After the development procedures failed to go through smoothly, he changed his mind and had to find someone who could endorse them.So I thought of Ouyang Yuan.

As a world-class master architect, Ouyang Yuan is a big shot in the construction industry. If he can be invited as the designer of this project, I am afraid that obstacles at all levels will automatically retreat when they see his name.

Of course, he has only thought about it so far. After all, Ouyang Yuan's status is too high, and he has been semi-retired for many years. The last time he designed the Hong Kong City University Music Hall was five years ago.These years are basically doing volunteer work and speaking, and even the top rich people can't hire him.

To let such a person come out of the mountain and design a house for them is indeed a bit like a dream.

But you have to try everything, at least get in touch with him first, to see what kind of character he is.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

"Hey, Awen Anan, why are you here? Are you looking for me for something?"

The two were walking through the Yuwu District, when a familiar figure came towards them, it was Tang Xingwei who lived in the Yuwu District.He carried two loads of stones on his shoulders. In the sweltering weather, he was sweating profusely, and his T-shirt was clinging to his body because of the sweat.

Qiao Wen asked without answering, "What are you doing?"

Tang Xingwei said: "Didn't we have a big fire at the beginning of the year? It was half burned, and now there are kind people helping to rebuild it. I will do my best when I am free."

Qiao Wen nodded, and said, "I also heard that there are many homeless people living in sheds, so I was wondering if I could help."

Chen Jianan looked at him in confusion.

Tang Xingwei: "Awen Anan, you two are so kind."

Qiao Wen touched his nose with some guilt: "Come on, let me go with you to see how the repairs are going?"

"Okay, then follow me."

Although Chen Jianan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qiao Wen's gourd, when he saw Tang Xingwei carrying the burden, he was out of breath after walking a few steps, and immediately clicked his tongue in disgust, and forcibly grabbed the burden: "I'll do it, I'll do it .”

Tang Xingwei saw that he was carrying the burden and walking like flying, wiped his sweat a little embarrassedly, and sighed: "A'nan is really strong."

Qiao Wen looked at the easy-moving guy in front of him, smiled and shook his head and said, "He hasn't used all his energy all day, can it be okay?"

The three of them talked while walking, and when they reached a house under repair, Tang Xingwei raised his hand and waved, "Uncle Ouyang, here comes the stone you want."
