warm winter

Yuan Honghao paid out of his own pocket, and even went out of his way to socialize with the relevant partners in person, revealing his thoughts inadvertently while drinking.These companies usually wish to cooperate with Yuan's International once, but now they are all flattered to be personally entertained by President Yuan.

Coming out of the dinner, the evening wind blew on Yuan Honghao's slightly drunken face, making him sober.He didn't drink much tonight, even if those company executives toasted him one by one, he only took a small sip as a token.

The strong capital gave him the confidence to be proud, even if he didn't take a sip, it would not affect these companies to work hard to implement the plan for him.At this point, there is no company in the industry in Haicheng who knows that Ye Qing's studio has become a thorn in Yuan's side.

The supplier who was lucky enough to be selected as a pawn had no intention of thinking about others except for a few words of pity for Ye Qing secretly at first.This is a rare opportunity. They all want to have a good performance and make a good impression on President Yuan.

If they can form a long-term cooperative relationship with Yuan's International, how much value will those small-scale studios have.

However, Yuan Honghao was not necessarily happy after getting the assurances of these suppliers, but he became more and more frustrated.

"Xiao Zhang, drive around, don't be in a hurry to go back." Yuan Honghao opened the car window a little, wanting to be more awake.

The driver followed the instructions and drove the car around the city again and again, but he didn't dare to drive too far, for fear that the president would want to go home at any time.

However, an hour later, Yuan Honghao still had no intention of going back.The driver slowed down a bit and asked nervously: "President, it's almost eleven o'clock, do you want to go back?"

Yuan Honghao kept looking out the window, and resolutely refused: "Open it for a while."

At first he simply didn't want to go back, but now he was attracted by the scenery outside the window.These years are always in a hurry, either on the way of business trip, or returning from the banquet of entertainment.

Usually when I get in the car, I close my eyes and meditate. It is rare to have the opportunity like today.Yuan Honghao recalled in a trance the scene where he drove people around Chehe in a car many years ago.

"Look, Honghao! The lighthouse over there is so beautiful!"

"Honghao, can we go around again? I don't want to go back so early."

"Honghao, you opened the car window too much, the wind blows me so cold, I want to hug you."

"Honghao, go back, it's too late and I want to rest."

"Honghao, you don't have to see me off, you go and do your business."

Memories came like a flood, Yuan Honghao never dared to let the memories run wild like tonight.The memories that were deliberately suppressed on weekdays were revived one by one, allowing him to understand more clearly how the relationship between them changed.

Even though he didn't drink much, Yuan Honghao felt that he was extremely fragile tonight.No matter how much wind and rain there is in the market, he can resist it tenaciously.Only at this moment, his heart is like a knife.The daughter who has always been loved by him at the tip of his heart has now become the person he deliberately wants to deal with.

Ye Qing was all to blame, Yuan Honghao had nowhere to vent his depression, so he could only vent his anger on Ye Qing.He has already made a decision, when this matter is resolved, he will make Ye Qing completely disappear from Yuan Yuan's life, and never give them a chance to contact again.

If he can't keep Yuan Yuan, then he can only make Ye Qing never appear in front of Yuan Yuan again.Of the two, as long as he firmly controls one of them, the situation can be brought back under his control.

Yuan Honghao calmed down, and only then said to Xiao Zhang: "Go back."

The driver breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order, and quietly glanced at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

**

Yuan Yuan could only ask for two days off, and with LYE's sudden change of mind, the one-day trip to California that the two had originally planned failed to take place.But they are not too disappointed, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

Back in F City, Yuan Yuan was packing his luggage, and Ye Qing received a call from Zhuang Yi.Yuan Yuan took out the clothes from the suitcase, and looked around at the person on the phone in the living room.

When Ye Qing first picked up the phone, he had a smile on his face, and his tone of greeting was bright.

But at this moment, in less than 10 minutes, her expression became serious.Yuan Yuan observed that Ye Qing spoke less frequently, and most of the time it was Zhuang Yi who spoke.Although Zhuang Yi usually likes to make jokes about her, he is not a talkative person in essence.

This call is extraordinary.

Yuan Yuan came to a conclusion in his heart and didn't bother Ye Qing.She moved faster, packed the clothes of the two of them, and cleaned the bedroom again.She kept finding things for herself to do, and controlled her desire to listen to the phone.

Half an hour later, the call ended, and Ye Qing was still sitting on the sofa.

Yuan Yuan walked over, hugged her from behind, and leaned his head on her shoulder.

Ye Qing turned his cheek to rub against her, seeing that she was still not moving, so he patted her arm: "Come here and sit down."

Now they have enough tacit understanding, upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan knew that Ye Qing was going to tell her about the phone call just now.She hurriedly and obediently sat beside Ye Qing, but still kept close to her.

"Sit down, I'm so hot." The weather was getting warmer, Yuan Yuan was still hanging on her body like a warm baby, Ye Qing couldn't help but push her away.

"Oh, a little bit." Yuan Yuan moved away symbolically, really only a little bit.

Ye Qing has nothing to do with her, she will never be able to compete with Yuan Yuan in this kind of matter.But interrupted by this little episode, the heavy mood just now seems to have recovered a little.

"Did Zhuang Yi tell you bad news?" Yuan Yuan stopped messing around, took Ye Qing's hand and squeezed it gently.

"It's not very good, but it can be handled for the time being."

Yuan Yuan held her hand even tighter, not letting Ye Qing escape.

"Don't be so general, or I can only be anxious." Yuan Yuan no longer wants to hide under Ye Qing's wings, she wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with her against the wind and rain.

Ye Qing looked at her anxious look, and laughed at her: "Others think it's troublesome, and it's too late to avoid it. You just want to take the trouble on yourself, I really don't know what you think."

Even though he said this, Ye Qing did not hide from her anymore.

"Zhuang Yi told me that the studio has been under a lot of pressure recently. The contracts signed before have been reduced by half, but since the day before yesterday, all orders have been cancelled. The other party is even willing to pay compensation for no reason, but they just don't want to continue to cooperate. "

Ye Qing tried his best to speak plainly, but his tone still couldn't hide the loneliness.

This is a career that she has devoted all her efforts to build in the past few years, and she was almost forced to a dead end overnight.

"Did... Dad do it?" After Yuan Yuan asked, she already had the answer in her heart.

She was first disappointed, then angry.

"It's too much, Dad, how could he do this!" He had said it clearly, and he would lash out at her if he got angry. The responsibility is all his own, so why should Ye Qing bear it!

Yuan Yuan stood up suddenly, and Ye Qing quickly grabbed her.

"Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?"

"I can't let my father act like this again! He's like this... so despicable!" Yuan Yuan closed her eyes in pain. For her, evaluating her father as despicable is a heart-rending thing.

Ye Qing sighed, but his hands did not loosen at all.

"Don't get excited. I've expected this incident a long time ago, so Zhuang Yi and I are still trying to figure out a way to deal with it. Don't get involved, okay?"

"Ye Qing, I can't just stand by and watch you fight exhaustedly while I just stand by and watch, I can't!" Yuan Yuanqi Ye Qing still excluded her.

Ye Qing saw that she was agitated, so she could only patiently continue to persuade her: "What if you go to him? If he is willing to listen to you, this situation will not happen now. Unless you compromise and agree to his request. But Yuan Yuan, will you compromise?"

Ye Qing's hands were trembling, Yuan Yuan looked down at the fingers clasped on his wrist, which meant that Ye Qing was not calm at this time.

"I will not compromise, I will never compromise. Ye Qing, you are my courage and my confidence. I will never give up our relationship for anything." Yuan Yuan dismissed the idea of ​​finding Yuan Honghao's theory , hugged Ye Qing tightly.

Ye Qing hugged Yuan Yuan's waist: "I and Zhuang Yi are the ones in Haicheng, don't worry. But next, you have to plan our life in F City."

"Ok?"

Ye Qing bit her lip and broke free from Yuan Yuan's arms, looking at her deeply.

After a while, Ye Qing finally passed the hurdle in his heart, and said frankly: "According to the current situation, it may be difficult for us to maintain our current standard of living."

To put it bluntly, our money is not enough, and the quality of life will be downgraded in the future.

Not long ago, Ye Qing would not tell Yuan Yuan even if she spoke to Jiang Zhilan, but now she is learning to change.She believed in Yuan Yuan's love, and also believed in Yuan Yuan's people.From now on, their lives will be discussed by the two of them.

Yuan Yuan was startled, and then smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, if it's a big deal, we'll sublet the apartment and find a small apartment. And when I'm in my sophomore year, I'll have time to find a part-time job after I make up the homework I left behind." gone."

When Ye Qing heard that she was going to work part-time, she couldn't help but think of her car accident.

"No more food deliveries."

"Okay, I won't deliver food." Yuan Yuan also carefully analyzed it afterwards, and it is true that food delivery is not a long-term solution, and the price-performance ratio is not high.

Ye Qing saw that she answered quickly, afraid that she would have other ideas, so she hurriedly added: "You are not allowed to work night shift at the gas station either!"

This kind of work is the most popular among poor international students, and it is easy to find and earns a higher income than ordinary hourly workers. , but harder and more dangerous.

Ye Qing originally thought that after joining LYE, she could basically maintain their life in the United States. Even if she worked alone, she could still afford Yuan Yuan's tuition.But after changing the cooperation model, it has been converted into commission income, and the payment can only be collected after the sale.

As a result, turnover becomes a problem.If Haicheng still wants to persist, it must continuously inject funds.Both sides need money, Ye Qing is indeed stretched.

While Ye Qing was still in a daze, Yuan Yuan took out a notebook and two pens from the room.She pulled Ye Qing to sit by the coffee table and handed her a pen.

"Come on, let's plan the future together."

Yuan Yuan didn't feel that the situation was embarrassing at all, Ye Qing looked at her relaxed face, and couldn't bear to say anything more.

She watched Yuan Yuan take the lead in writing on the notebook, which read: Fixed monthly expenses.

Looked to the side and wrote: monthly floating expenses.

Seeing that she was writing seriously, Ye Qing opened the mobile app from time to time to check the usual consumption records, and then scribbled and drew in the notebook to supplement and revise.

"You don't need to be so careful, you just need a rough count. We're not so poor yet." Ye Qing managed to maintain a smile, and Yuan Yuan's way of counting money carefully was very similar to his young self.

She was poor, so she knew the difficulty of living with money every day.But Yuan Yuan has never experienced it, so now she feels fresh?Or are you curious?

Ye Qing didn't know whether to remind her that this was not an experience of life, and it would probably be the state they would maintain for a long time in the future.But she didn't know how to speak so that Yuan Yuan, who had never been poor, could truly understand what she was about to face.

**

When Jiang Zhilan and Jian Xinhe appeared in the apartment at the same time, both Ye Qing and Yuan Yuan were surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Qing was still dazed by the door, Jiang Zhilan dragged her into the room without saying a word.

Jian Xinhe followed the door with a smile, closed the door gently, turned around and waved to the dazed Yuan Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, come here, I have something to tell you."

Then, the two guests led a host to talk in their respective rooms.

Although they are in different spaces, the problems are surprisingly similar.

Jiang Zhilan frowned, and angrily stuffed a check into Ye Qing's hand.

"What's the matter with you, you didn't tell me about such a big thing, and you still don't regard me as a friend!"

Ye Qing looked down at the things in his hand, and immediately understood.

"Zhilan, you are so busy with work, I don't want you to worry about my affairs anymore."

Jiang Zhilan didn't appreciate it at all, and glared at her: "Hmph, you obviously forgot your friends after falling in love. We agreed at the beginning that even if we fell in love, friendship still exists. Ye Qing, so you have Yuan Yuan doesn't remember that Jiang Zhilan is your friend?"

Seeing that she seemed really angry today, Ye Qing quickly explained: "Absolutely not, you will always be my most important friend!"

"Really?" Jiang Zhilan didn't seem to believe it, so she asked Ye Qing to confirm it again.

"Absolutely, I swear."

Only then did Jiang Zhilan show a smile, and said irrefutablely: "Since it's true, then accept the check and don't talk nonsense! I said a long time ago, as long as you come to the United States, I will support you!"

Ye Qing was very moved, but still hesitated to hold the check.

"Don't worry, although the money is not much, it is enough for you and Yuan Yuan to last for a while. You are my friend, and I will not ignore your partner. Of course, if you want to raise them, you must raise them together."

Ye Qing knew that Jiang Zhilan wanted to explain her away, but how would she explain it? She had already made a plan with Yuan Yuan and had a basic direction.

In another room, Jian Xinhe gave Yuan Yuan a card.

"Xiaoyuan, you can use this card temporarily."

"This... I don't need it." Yuan Yuan pushed the card back, accepting Jian Xinhe's kindness.

Disappointment flashed across Jian Xinhe's eyes, and he said softly, "It's my name, and it's also my private money, so don't feel pressured, just treat it as I lent it to you."

Yuan Yuan shook his head again and again, this is even more unacceptable.

Jian Xinhe was a little angry, but he spoke in a very low voice: "Why do you have to become so alien? You used to ask for anything you wanted, but now you don't even want what I lent you. Could it be that there is already a relationship between us? Are you so unfamiliar?"

Yuan Yuan rarely sees Jian Xinhe like this. In her impression, Xinhe is always a gentle big sister.She is understanding, she is tolerant, and she will not get angry.

But Jian Xinhe in front of her eyes is obviously not what she remembered.

"Xinhe, I didn't alienate you, nor did I mean to be polite to you, but I really don't need the money. I know you're doing it for my own good, and I'm afraid I don't have enough money."

Jian Xinhe stopped being sad, and looked up at Yuan Yuan.In her impression, Xiao Yuanhe once talked about money so rationally and calmly. She always thought that Yuan Yuan had no idea about money.

Yuan Yuan took out her notebook, and spread it out to Jian Xinhe with some embarrassment: "Here, I only show you the secret of treating you as a good friend. Ye Qing and I have carefully calculated that the rest of our lives will actually be It's sustainable."

After reading it, Jian Xinhe whispered: "Are you going to change apartments?"

"Well, if it's near my school, only one bedroom is enough."

"You still want to buy your own food and cook?"

"It's just a good time to practice cooking. It's not good for your health to always eat takeaway."

Jian Xinhe looked at the final sum, which was about the same as the living expenses of ordinary student couples.The budget for apartment rent is also the average price around the school, and you can only rent the ones that are older.

"Xiao Yuan, can you adapt to this kind of life?" Jian Xin and Man felt distressed. Since childhood, Yuan Yuan has never suffered such hardship.

Yuan Yuan didn't care, and said confidently: "I don't dare to say what will happen, but I can be sure, as long as I can be with Ye Qing, I will be satisfied with this kind of life."

This time, Jian Xinhe is no longer sad.She could see her firm love for Ye Qing from Yuan Yuan's confident face.Jian Xinhe knew that even without Ye Qing, it would be impossible for her to get Yuan Yuan's love.

So, what else does she have to miss and regret?

"What about Ye Qing? Is she willing too?" Jian Xinhe worried about Ye Qing again. After all, she is a mature person, would she still want to live such a poor life?

Yuan Yuan is more confident and firm this time than before: "Of course, we agreed to live together!"

Jian Xinhe smiled, her heart was completely on this side.She no longer waited on the sidelines for an alternate opportunity, she wanted to lend a helping hand to make this relationship more complete.
