"No," Wei Qian said with some uncertainty, "Brother Xiong, you ...... you slow down, what do you mean? Nothing don't take this to scare people okay?"

The old bear does not pick up, just stood up and took the project proposal, four flat in front of Wei Qian: "This you take back to see it, this is the material to be on the meeting tomorrow."

Wei Qian had never succeeded in reading Old Bear's eyes - of course, besides the fact that Old Bear was more urban, it was also because his eyes were so small that he couldn't even see where his eyeballs were without being close to his face.

But the old bear has always been cheerful and good contact, think most businessmen traveled all over the world, in addition to Zhang kind of good with a spoon from a good family, there are few particularly eccentric character.

At this moment, however, Wei Qian felt for the first time the rejection that was about to fill the air from him. The old bear sat back down on the sofa cushions on the floor, coiled his legs with a bit of difficulty, and drew a cross against the wall full of Buddhist scriptures.

He seems to be attempting to look unbelievable, attempting to look a little crazy.

There are times when it's probably better to be crazy.

Wei Qian hesitated, said nothing more, picked up the proposal, got up and left.

The business proposal is gimmicky and probably very impressive, but it won't impress Wei Qian.

Because their early several projects do not have so much manpower, three fat education can not, the text is not fluent, the old bear is responsible for getting money and responsible for negotiation, so like this to do the proposal and feasibility study report of the work, eight/nine out of ten from Wei Qian's hand.

How each of these smokeless things blew out, he had it all in his mind.

However, minus the gimmick, this is an ordinary villa project, Wei Qian can not really say where it is not good to come.

On the way back, he pinched the project plan and thought about it all the way - Wei Qian still always has the scene in his head of the day when the three of them followed Mr. Zhang up the hill, looking down at the economic forest below.

What was wrong with that scenario? Wei Qian scrutinized it several times, but he couldn't figure it out.

He was, after all, still young and his experience was too limited.

In the end, Wei Qian heart only a layer of light shadow, he could not say that layer of shadow in where, just a kind of inner resistance, think this project, can not do, it is best not to do.

But the old bear side ......

The next morning before leaving the door, Wei Qian finally managed to block the three fat, three fat in his car together to the company.

"Ahem, this matter ah, you don't mention it." Three Fatty waved his hand badly, badness written in every crevice of his fat.

"At that time you are not in a hurry to go, just leave a sentence that let me stop him, did not say that I understand how to stop - I usually contact business is not too much, your old man is good, 'bam' a put down a pick, leave me such a large Task, hanging did not give me smashed silly - yes, I stopped, but Xiong asked, I can not say a sub ugly c and d to, pressure root can not stop. At that time, I thought no ah, so out of the evil. I called my sister-in-law. I originally thought, this is not with the West to invite Buddha a effect, the results of the phone call, I just explained the causes and consequences of this matter, the other end on the crying."

Wei Qian: "Who? Sister-in-law crying?"

Three fat bared his teeth and nodded: "It is not it, our Chen Lu sister that is the generation of masters of the Ru Lai God palm ah, well, she cried? I heard, this must not be the sky is falling things ah, can put me scared, asked what is going on, the result ...... alas, it is really ......"

Wei Qian stopped the car for a red light and slowly asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"So you know, huh?"

Wei Qian: "Listened to a tone, the old bear didn't make it clear to me."

SanFat sighed: "The two of them have been married for so many years, and have never had any children, and it's not that they don't want to have children, but my sister-in-law hasn't been able to get pregnant. She may have been born with a tumor in her stomach since she was quite young - the place where she gave birth, you know, right? She's had two or three surgeries, but it won't come back. The safest way is to cut it out, of course, but she herself doesn't agree and still wants a child."

No wonder ......

"Sister-in-law is not a former dancer, they do that look easy, the actual is quite exhausting, she is the kind of scratching the tip of the winning character, the body really can not hold out before having to resign. Xiong said at that time, cut off the rear on the rear, nothing great, let her cut, she refused, and finally the two said well to raise two years, if you can have a child that would be the best, no is also the life of their families, do not intend to want to, so she went to do surgery. As a result, when she went to the hospital before the year, the doctor said it was finished, probably cancerous."

The red light passed and the car behind him honked impatiently before Wei Qian came back to his senses and pulled out, "Diagnosed?"

"Diagnosed, otherwise the old bear that day how to cry with a real bear like it?" Three fat voice lowered, he paused for a long time, only then continued, "This disease, some people get after twenty or thirty years are not dead, and did not get the same, some people may be a month or two on the spread of the Chen Lu belongs to the kind ...... of bad luck - -Qian'er, anyway, so what do you say? This project will be a meeting, you are signing or not sign it?"

Wei Qian knew that he didn't have any reason not to sign this.

Losing a father in youth, losing a wife in middle age, and losing a son in old age - three great sorrows, Wei Qian himself caught up with one, Ma Zi's mom caught up with one, and it looks like the old bear may soon catch up with the other one.

Was this not easy to live, or was their life more bitter? Wei Qian really didn't want to know the answer to this.

When he was young, he thought that he couldn't live without his parents, and if he didn't even have that little emotional support, he might as well be dead.

After a couple of years, he figured that he couldn't live without money, and if he didn't even have the minimum security of life, he might as well be dead.

Later, he thought that he could not be without dignity, and that if everyone looked down on him, he might as well be dead.

Yet one by one he had lost them, some he had gained back later, some he could never get back, and he was still alive.

Probably the atmosphere in the car is too depressing, three fat glanced at him, trying to liven up the atmosphere, said: "two days ago, I listened to Zhang that big fool with me Kan pseudo-science, he said there is a rumor of the jungle, low body temperature is easy to cancer, high body temperature is easy to cardiovascular disease, the two major killers of mankind, sooner or later we have to be put into one of the embrace. I heard, this rumor is the principle of the jungle where not next, but the reason is really so, no disaster, no disease alive, we all think about it before it is too late - your old lady is okay, right?"

Wei Qian did not answer, and after a while, he replied, "If I have that day, I will go to a place where no one can find me and wait for death by myself, without treatment."

Three Fatty didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Of course you say that now."

"It will be the same in the future." Wei Qian smoothly slid his car into the company garage, "Those two children will be big in the future, by then they should get married and get married, and they should work, so I'll be begging people for something.

Sectionalized reading 50

What do you dislike about it? Let the hard things come to an end in my generation."

San Fatty looked at him sideways, and in the dimly lit garage, he felt that Wei Qian's face carried some kind of deep self-deprecation.

Wei Qian stopped the car, turned off the engine, and sighed, "But that's for later, right now I still have to earn money for them to go."

Three fat suddenly feel that he said this is not right, he took into account the younger siblings to form their own families in the future, but the only one who drew himself out, placed in a cold-eyed, single position, as if he subconsciously did not think that he would marry a wife, he will also have a child.

"Qian'er," SanFat couldn't help but open his mouth and mention it, "Isn't it time for you to think about starting a family, or at least finding a girlfriend?"

Wei Qian froze.

"You can't be single all the time, Xiaobao and Xiaoyuan are getting older, and you don't have any burdens now, so shouldn't you be looking for one? Besides, if your old lady is like that, she'll need another person to help you look after her in the future."

Wei Qian frowned quickly, still mentally resisting a bit, yet then he thought, this is also ah.

A man's gotta have a home, right?

You can't be the only one in the house, can you?

The day's meeting went well, and Wei Qian's silent indulgence cleared the last hurdle for Old Bear, whose proposal was quickly passed.

The old bear to promote the strength of the great, within half a month, has signed a framework agreement and cooperation agreement with Mr. Zhang, a month later, the project company and operating management team was formally established, exploration, planning, land and so on all the preliminary work is carried out in an orderly manner.

C City, that end of the busy, the project needs people to sit in too many places in the early stages, the general operating level of things, three fat not much meddling, are the old bear and Weiqian in the run, now the two people who are not better than anyone else, their respective homes a patient, had to take turns to scurry around in both places.

The good thing about Old Xiong's place is that Sister-in-law Xiong is willing to use a nanny, and on Wei Qian's side, the good thing is that there is still Wei Zhiyuan.

On the day that Mrs. Song was discharged from the hospital, Wei Qian rushed back from a meeting, just in time to see the cab parked downstairs, Xiaoyuan carried Mrs. Song on her back, and Xiaobao carried things behind her, calling the elevator for them to open the door.

From a distance, each one looks like an adult.

Lian Xiaobao was also true to her word and really tried to take care of Old Lady Song, and even though she was clumsy at first, she slowly matured with time and experience.

Where's Yuen?

Xiao Yuan seems to always have inexhaustible energy, Wei Qian does not know whether he sleep enough sleep, normal school affected by not affected, but on the sidelines, it seems that things at home, things outside, Wei Zhiyuan's schooling and the whole family's life, as if he has two hands to take care of over, at least in Wei Qian's eyes, Wei Zhiyuan is easy to handle.

After another long negotiation and tug-of-war with the local government, Wei Qian returned home from a business trip of more than two months.

Both children seem to have gone to school, and Mrs. Song is napping in the house.

Seeing that it is almost noon, Wei Qian threw the suitcase to the door, and began to wash the dishes to cook, the dishes have not finished cutting, Wei Zhiyuan came back.

He walked in and said, "Brother, I'll do it."

Wei Qian: "It's fine, I'll do it, it's just as well that I'm back today and you're resting for the day."

Wei Zhiyuan didn't argue with him, stood behind him for a while, and then found an opportunity to unexpectedly reach out from behind him, clamped his elbow, pinched the back of the kitchen knife blade, and snatched it.

Wei Qian: "......"

Wei Zhiyuan pressed against his ear and grumbled in a low voice, "I told you I'd come."

Probably because he was too close, that voice had been drilled into Wei Qian's ears, he couldn't help but feel a jolt, and hastily dodged his head sideways in a somewhat uncomfortable manner.

Wei Qian wandered around a few times and compromised, "If you come, you come, there are still eggs? I get some egg soup as a drink ...... Hey I fuck, Wei Zhiyuan are you going to revolt?"

Wei Zhiyuan hugged him from behind, shook him so that his feet were off the ground, and used the posture of moving large pieces of furniture to invite him out of the kitchen without saying a word.

"I'm still planning to force the palace to usurp the throne." Wei Zhiyuan put him down and said a bit smugly, "Just start with the imperial kitchen first."

This did not sound like Wei Zhiyuan's usual tone of voice, and Wei Qian froze, leaning against the door and sizing him up.

He came back from this trip, Wei Zhiyuan seemed to have produced some kind of indescribable change in his body, Wei Qian realized that during the period of time he was not at home, this kid who should have been tired like a dog seemed to have glowed with some kind of vitality.

He was not like before, he always seemed to have something on his mind, although the lack of sleep Wei Zhiyuan could be seen on his face, his spirit was very good, and he even became a little cheerful.

"I don't think it's possible or hire a bellhop, don't let grandma see it, just cook for you every day and clean up." Wei Qian paused and asked, "What about school, is it busy?"

"Not bad." Wei Zhiyuan said in a good mood, "Our club has been making some common gadgets recently, and we pulled in sponsorship last week."

"Sponsorship?" Wei Qian froze, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Wei Zhiyuan looked back at him, "And then reached out to ask you for money?"

Wei Qian felt that he said too naked/naked, so he coughed dryly and said in a reserved manner, "That's not true, it also depends on whether what you guys do has any investment value."

Wei Zhiyuan poured the chopped vegetables into the pot, and in the sound of a splash of oil, he said, "If you're capable, I can't always rely on you, a man has to go out on his own."

Otherwise, how can I take care of you in the future?

Of course, Wei Zhiyuan swallowed back the latter half of the sentence.

"Come on, little brat, say you're fat and you're still wheezing." Wei Qian laughed, "Tell brother, how did you find sponsorship?"

Wei Zhiyuan told him cheerfully, "We tried to advertise at first, but then we found that the advertising overhead was too big and the effect was not good, so we stopped, and then we tracked down the contact information of our target investors on the Internet, and sent the advertisements directly to their mailboxes, and we also made non-scheduled phone calls for a while, but unfortunately, the emails were often blocked, and non-scheduled phone calls would be intercepted by the front desk of the people most of the time directly. Unfortunately, emails were often blocked, and non-scheduled calls were most of the time intercepted by people's receptionists. That didn't work either, so we ended up going door to door."

Wei Qian can not laugh - a few college students, rashly door-to-door sales of their own team to ask for sponsorship, how many blank stares from others ah?

Not to mention those big bosses, even he himself, bump into this kind of, probably is not even lazy to lift the head, just let people directly to block out of the.

"Begging is quite difficult." Wei Zhiyuan said in a good news report, "But at least the result was good, finally begged."

With all the experiences in between, Wei Zhiyuan lifted his weight and didn't describe his feelings. He has always been the kind of excellent student who is very outstanding, maybe his IQ is very high, but his adversity quotient has never been good, he is much smarter and more calm than his peers, however, the ability to withstand setbacks doesn't match with all of this - in this regard, he can't even compare to Xiao Bao who has been scolded by his big brother since he was a child.

Wei Zhiyuan extremely hate that feeling of powerlessness, that long, door-to-door with the same set of things, wear out the mouth like door-to-door sales seeking investment days, almost let him recall his own dust in the depths of memory in the wandering childhood.

He was isolated, but did not tell anyone, so headless like a fly diving for nearly a year, in the middle of their club activities due to a variety of difficulties had to stop, many people left one after another, Wei Zhiyuan alone to bear the pressure, and at the same time, his family still has a patient Song need to take care of the old lady.

He also had to be careful not to reveal himself in front of his big brother - as long as he opened his mouth, this sponsorship, Wei Qian would definitely give it, Wei Zhiyuan knew it in his heart.

But what's the point?

When all the negative feelings were all aroused and piled up together heavily in his heart, Wei Zhiyuan had wanted to give up a few times, and for the first time he realized that bearing this seemingly cowardly gesture was no simpler than anything else.

But didn't Big Brother suffer all those years?

Those days, Wei Zhiyuan almost relied on the yellowed old photo of Wei Qian's teenage years in his wallet to get through.

Wei Qian was unspeakably heartbroken, just like he was heartbroken when he first saw Xiao Bao washing Old Lady Song's urinal.

But he can not express it, silent for a while, before he can only like unoriginal like praising Xiao Bao, extraordinarily obscure and difficult to understand to praise Wei Zhiyuan: "You ah ...... if you are willing to find a girlfriend back, brother now can all be in peace."

Wei Zhiyuan said calmly, "That's impossible."

"Is there no drama at all?" Wei Qian looked at him almost hopefully.

Wei Zhiyuan avoided his gaze and put in salt and seasoning, but his tone was firm: "Well, not at all."

"For that male fox ...... of yours," Wei Qian paused, temporarily twisted to change his words, "male ...... sweetheart? Don't you see now pull a sponsorship a thousand difficult, if you really want to go this way, than you pull sponsorship can be much more difficult."

Wei Zhiyuan seemed to find this expression "male sweetheart" very interesting, he did not know what came to his mind, the corner of his mouth could not be restrained from lifting slightly, "I know, this is the beginning."

Wei Qian paused and changed his angle, "Then are people willing to accept you?"

Wei Zhiyuan glanced at him and said with some hesitation, "I don't know yet, it may ...... be a little unacceptable, right?"

Wei Qian seems to have immediately found a breakthrough, slowed down his tone, put on a patient persuasive stance, "Men at a certain age will want to marry a woman as a wife, even if you don't want to, other people will want to, you're still small now, don't think that far ahead, if in the future the person you like gets married, what are you going to do?"

Wei Zhiyuan stopped everything, and after a moment of stalemate, he whispered despondently, "Brother, can you not dig my heart out?"

Wei Qian looked hopelessly at the oil and salt Wei Zhiyuan, and in his heart, he remembered the old bear's words about himself - this is a king's son who eats weights and has an iron heart.

He couldn't help but think of Sister-in-law Xiong, two months ago, Wei Qian had found an opportunity to bring Xiao Bao to visit her once.

Sister-in-law Bear refused to do the chemo, and she somehow convinced Bear, who surprisingly just let it go by default.

Sister-in-law Xiong was finally satisfied to hear Xiaobao call her "godmother", and when she looked at Xiaobao, she couldn't help but think that if she could have a child, and if she could live for a few more years, wouldn't she be able to see her own child grow up to be as big as Xiaobao?

She couldn't help but think freely of her own nebulous future when she looked at the lackadaisical little girl.

When she was leaving, Mrs. Xiong said to Wei Qian, "Some children are born to love beauty, and some are born to not care, it's all nature, like cats eat fish and dogs eat meat, you forcefully press a beauty-loving child to get a haircut based on your own preference alone, it's the same reason as forcing a non-beautiful one to wake up an hour early every day to put on make-up- -Stifling someone else's nature, you think you're right, but do you know how cruel you are?"

Wei Qian knew that this was from her heart.

Ms. Chen Lu, who also naturally loves beauty, naturally loves art, loves her work, loves her family and her children, and loves life, yet only halfway through the journey, everything is forcibly interrupted and put on hiatus.

When she said this to Wei Qian, her eyes were clearly red.

Then is it considered nature for Xiao Yuan to be like this, so head over heels in love with a man?

Wei Qian did not know, however, he had several ups and downs in his mind, and finally, on top of his own bottom line, he was bereft of power to give Wei Zhiyuan a retreat of one frame.

He realized sadly that his bottom line was like pants, and that one day he would be stripped down to his pants for these little brats.

Wei Qian said, "Love how how it is, I don't care about you, the words I said, you don't regret it later. You that ...... that who - well, just that who, you know what I mean, is fragrant or stinky also do not know, there is a chance you let me see."

Wei Zhiyuan immediately comprehended the meaning of his concession, however, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he didn't know whether he should be happy or what, his heart was tangled for a long time, and finally answered, "Hey."

Wei Qian was going to say more, but just then, his conversation was interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door outside.

Wei Qian answered and opened the door, but saw a strange middle-aged woman standing outside, she permed a burnt small curly hair, like a top of an action chicken nest, her eyes are cloudy, the corners of the fine lines of the eyes are clustered, it can be seen that it is a bit old, wearing a piece of shredded cedar not quite in line with her age, appearing to be a bit gaudy and vulgar, and carrying a fake brand-name bag that can be seen everywhere.

Wei Qian asked, "Who are you looking for?"

When the other party saw him, he also froze for a moment, then immediately said, "Oh ...... I may have knocked on the wrong door, so what, does Wang Xiuhong live in this building?"

"Wang Xiuhong" was the name of Pocky's mom, Wei Qian frowned, "What do you want with her?"
