Xiao Caicai came looking for the sound, and was stunned at the door, and then suddenly shouted, "Xiaobao! Ah Liang!" The other side was obviously at a loss, but Xiao Xiaocai didn't think they were dirty, so she jumped up and hugged them , The three of them cried and laughed happily.

Fang Xing looked at the joy of their long-lost reunion from a distance, but that joy could not be conveyed to him at all.He turned his head and continued to eat his beef noodles.

After a while, the boss urged Xiao Youcai to go to work, and Xiao Xiaocai let Xiaobao and A Liang go.She wiped away her tears and said, "Ah! Fang Xing is here too!" She pulled Xiao Bao and A Liang over to Fang Xing's side, told Fang Xing enthusiastically that they were here, and let them sit opposite Fang Xing, Handed them the menu. "What do you want to eat? My treat."

The two looked at the menu, at each other, and at Fang Xing opposite.Xiaobao said, "Be the same as him."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, and continued to eat his noodles.

The people on the other side also felt Fang Xing's indifference, maybe out of embarrassment, Xiao Bao still asked tentatively, "Fang Xing, you don't know us anymore? I'm Xiao Bao, and this is Ah Liang."

Fang Xing nodded, "Yes." He finished eating the noodles in two bites, pushed the buns towards the two people opposite, then got up and put down the money, "Young rapeseed doesn't have much money, I'll treat you to this meal."

Lao Feng's hotel is in the old city, where the buildings in the neighborhood are all in the style of the 90s, and time seems to have stopped in the 90s, and there are small shops and small food stalls along the street.Lao Feng's hotel is a small four-story building with a sign at the door with the price written on it.Fang Liyang brought Lao Tiao'er in, and greeted Lao Feng who was dozing off at the front desk.

"My friend stays for a few days and charges it to my account."

"Okay, 306 on the third floor." Lao Feng handed the key to Fang Liyang, sat back in his seat and continued to take a nap.

After entering the room, Fang Liyang told Lao Tiao'er that the owner of the hotel is his own, so if you need anything, just tell the owner directly.

"I'll keep this package with you." Fang Liyang threw the package on the table, "I'll come back tomorrow to find you at the latest, and you don't want to go anywhere during this time, just wait for my news."

"it is good."

"You have a good rest, take a shower, and I will ask Lao Feng to send you new clothes."

"Thank you, Afang." Lao Tiao'er lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.

Fang Liyang shook his head, "We have been friends for so many years, you have to trust me."

Lao Tiao'er kept nodding, his eyes were flushed, and he was rolling his throat desperately.

Fang Liyang left the hotel and sent a message to Lang Bin. While waiting for instructions, he had to go see Zhao Qing.

He did not expect Zhao Qing's gaffe yesterday, but it was precisely because Zhao Qing said a lot of things that should not have been said during the gaffe that Fang Liyang won some room to continue negotiating with him.

"Ah Qing." Fang Liyang went home and changed into a suit, and was putting on a dark green tie with dark flowers.

"En." Zhao Qing's voice seemed to be deliberately lowered, Fang Liyang thought he should be by Zheng Yu's side.

"Is it convenient to meet now? We haven't finished talking yesterday."

The other side pondered for a moment, "Come to my house in two hours."

"it is good."

While waiting to meet with Zhao Qing, Lang Bin sent back a message: We have grasped the whereabouts of the suspect and prevented Zheng Yu from dealing with it privately.

Fang Liyang saw the news, sat down on the sofa unconsciously, and fell into thinking.The hair on his forehead that hadn't dried out drooped down. He thought for a long time, then suddenly he heard the door knock, and looked up to see Fang Xing coming back.

"Xingxing, you're back, are you going to class this afternoon?"

"Go." Fang Xing responded coldly, seeing that he had put on a new suit, "You want to go out? Where's Uncle Tiao'er?"

"I have something to go out. Uncle Tiao'er, I took him to the hotel."

Fang Xing nodded, he wanted to ask Fang Liyang if he was going to see that person, but he couldn't ask.He was afraid that he would appear to care too much and make Fang Liyang suspicious; he was also afraid of hearing Fang Liyang say that he really wanted to see that person.Conflicted for a long time, simply did not ask anything.

Both sides were silent for a while, and suddenly they said in unison: "Have you eaten yet?"

Fang Xing was a little embarrassed, but Fang Liyang smiled and asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. I wanted to bring you something to eat, but suddenly something happened and I didn't bring it."

"It's okay, I had dinner with you, Uncle Tiao'er, just now. What happened?"

Fang Xing didn't want to talk about those irrelevant things with Fang Liyang.He didn't want to recall anything that had a strong spirit of Ling County.He hated the gray sky, the scorching sun, the land full of loess and gravel, and that group of people.Fang Xing sometimes wondered if they were human, and he even subconsciously turned them into animals several times in his memory.It wasn't until today when he saw Xiaobao and Aliang again that he realized that they might really be human, but they seemed to be completely different creatures from himself.They are people of two worlds, they must live in two worlds.

"No, it's nothing, just... I forgot."

Fang Xing returned to his room, Fang Liyang was about to go out, he chased to the door of Fang Xing's room, "Thank you Xing Xing."

"what?"

"It was yesterday."

Fang Xing lowered his head, his ears were slightly red, "You said it."

Fang Liyang saw the corners of his mouth and cheeks twitching slightly, he knew that Fang Xing was smiling. "I'm leaving, don't be late for class."

When Fang Liyang arrived, Zhao Qing looked like he had just entered the door, and his coat hadn't been taken off yet.

"Just sit down."

Fang Liyang sat down in the living room and looked around Zhao Qing's room.Like his people, they are gray-toned and deserted, as neat and tidy as a model house where no one lives, and household appliances seem to be just decorations or props.

"Sorry, there's nothing to drink at home."

"It's okay. Are you feeling better?"

"It's all right."

"I'm so sorry yesterday. Xing Xing was drinking, and I heard that he had poured himself two glasses of vodka. He had never drunk before, and he suddenly got on top. He wanted to protect me too much, so he moved his hand impulsively." Fang Liyang turned things upside down. , to explain.

Zhao Qing shook his head, "I've heard something about you and your nephew. You are dependent on each other, I can understand. Brother Fang, I don't blame him, nor you."

"Thank you. President Zheng didn't say anything?"

Fang Liyang saw a faint bruise on Zhao Qing's face, it was impossible for Zheng Yu not to notice it.

Zhao Qing saw that Fang Liyang's gaze fell on his cheek, and subconsciously touched it with his hand, "It is said that he was drunk too much, but Mr. Zheng didn't say anything."

"It's really troublesome for you." Fang Liyang didn't give any further explanation on this matter. Even if he has something to ask Zhao Qing now, he still has to set a good standard and not appear humble.

"Did Mr. Zheng ask Brother Chang about the news?"

"Not yet." Zhao Qing also looked worried, "It should be that Brother Chang didn't ask anything, and Mr. Zheng won't bother too much about this matter."

"I... walked away temporarily yesterday because there was new news. Maybe I can go see Brother Chang to make things go smoothly." Fang Liyang tentatively revealed to Zhao Qing.

"What new news?" Zhao Qing seemed to be interested.

"The man that brother Chang caught actually had some goods, and was taken by a former acquaintance of mine. My acquaintance knew a lot about them, but he was afraid to come to me because he was afraid of being involved. I met him before. He was not with those people either, he was dragged in in a daze, and he was carrying a bag of things, and he didn’t know what to do now. If his safety could be guaranteed, he might be willing to say something more.”

Zhao Qing frowned more and more when he heard this, "Brother Fang, Brother Chang doesn't like you very much."

"I know."

Chang Zhongqiang is an old man who has worked under Zheng Yu for the longest time. He is in charge of the KTV and hotel business, and helps Zheng Yu deal with all kinds of troubles in private. He also manages the most thugs. All the security guards were brought out by him.Masks used to be a small business under his jurisdiction. When Zheng Yu assigned this small business to Fang Liyang, he didn't take it seriously. After turning it over a few times, Chang Zhongqiang couldn't sit still.The first time I said that my KTV was short of manpower, and I wanted to transfer all the security guards of Mask.Fang Liyang had no choice but to ask Zheng Yu himself, which left the current few backbones.Then he asked Zheng Yu to transfer Fang Liyang to his staff under the pretext of resigning from the hotel manager, but Zheng Yu flatly refused.From then on, Chang Zhongqiang disliked Fang Liyang even more.

"I know." Fang Liyang pushed his glasses, "Maybe this time I can make peace with Brother Chang."

"Brother Fang, do you think it's possible? His purpose is to take this opportunity to ruin you. How could he agree to you to seek peace with him?" Zhao Qing said helplessly, as if complaining about Fang Liyang's confusion this time.

"How will you know if you don't try. Now he can't ask anything, and Mr. Zheng is also dissatisfied with him. Besides, Beichuan's new store is under preparation, he will definitely want it."

"You want to exchange Beichuan's new store with him?" Zhao Qing couldn't believe it.

"I want to stand under Mr. Zheng, so I can't care about these small things." Of course Fang Liyang wanted to clear away Chang Zhongqiang's stumbling block. Without him, he might be able to move closer to Zheng Yu's core. take a step further.But this matter should not be rushed, otherwise any revealing of the show's feet would be very detrimental to Fang Liyang.Dealing with this is not an important matter right now. He can coexist with Chang Zhongqiang, which has no decisive impact on the current overall situation.

"The new store in Beichuan is not a small matter. Brother Fang, you have to fight with Mr. Zheng, and you can't give up casually." Zhao Qing said very firmly, he took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Fang Liyang was a little surprised, Zhao Qing seldom expressed any views on business affairs, he said so, presumably the new store in Beichuan must have some name, this is consistent with his previous guess.

Zhao Qing took two deep puffs of his cigarette, "Brother Fang." He looked up at Fang Liyang, "You promise me one thing, I will take you to see Chang Zhongqiang, but not to seek peace with him."

Fang Liyang looked at Zhao Qing's eyes and nodded, "I understand. What did you ask me to promise you?"

"The new store in Beichuan, Mr. Zheng did have a plan to hand it over to Chang Zhongqiang, but Mr. Zheng was also hesitant. At that time, he asked me to inform Brother Fang to see the store, except for the fact that Chang Zhongqiang was sent to check on Chen Li's goods. On the other hand, from a business point of view, I think you may be more suitable. Brother Fang, what I ask is very simple. If I help you get rid of Chang Zhongqiang and win the new store in Beichuan, I want you to give me the mask .”

Fang Liyang didn't expect that Zhao Qing's request was for a mask, he thought about it, and asked, "May I know why?"

Zhao Qing also thought about it before answering, "Of course, my purpose is not just to make a mask. I want to leave Mr. Zheng's side. I have some difficulties that I can't express. I hope Brother Fang can understand me."

Without the cover of alcohol and night, Zhao Qing became calmer and more determined than last night even though he also expressed his appeal. He said these words in a gentle and harmless voice, which made Fang Liyang feel that he was not simple.

Although it's not a top priority, if he can kill two birds with one stone, it can be regarded as a red envelope from Zhao Qing to himself.

Fang Liyang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, "Okay."
