She called Ivicki.
”Darling, you're still angry?” Xie Min spoke coquettishly, more like a daughter trying to coax her unhappy mother.
She was surprised to hear from Xie Min. She had already severely criticized Xie Min. She really hadn't expected Xie Min to send her off.
”Oh …” ”No …” Ivy felt a little embarrassed. She forced a stiff smile on her face.
”It's good that there isn't any. ”Darling, hurry up and open the door!” Xie Min said.
”Ah?” Open the door? You are at my door? ” Ivy was even more surprised. She didn't expect Xie Min to send her off.
When Ivy opened the door, she was overjoyed to see Xie Min. She even shouted out loud and hugged her tightly.
The barrier between the two of them suddenly dissolved, dissolved by a warm embrace. Maybe it was just a matter of career. In her life, Ewiqi was still willing to be friends with Xie Min, who also liked her a lot.
”Min, I really have to go.” Avice said reluctantly.
Xie Min was a little agitated and reluctant. The time they spent together always seemed so short. She shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.
”Idiot, why are you crying? You should be happy to see me. ” Ivicki said reassuringly.
Xie Min was still unable to speak, she could only nod her head in agreement.
Avice placed her hands on her face, gently wiping away the tears that were glistening on her cheeks.
”We will meet again!” Avice said.
”When?” Xie Min asked in a slightly hoarse voice, as if she was a woman asking her husband who was about to travel.
The company's trivial matters made Xie Min relax after days of depression. In front of Ewiqi, she no longer had to put on the airs of a CEO. She also longed to have her own life and emotions. Although she was strong, she was also weak. However, in the company, she was unable to stop herself from becoming a strong woman.
Today, Xie Min had returned to her true self in front of her old friend, Ewiqi.
There was no such thing as an endless banquet. After all, Ivicki had to go back to France. Even though it was cruel, it was still the truth. Xie Min still needed to act strong after Avice had left. She had to be strong. There were more important things to be done at the company.
”Take a walk around Chaozhou City.” Avice suddenly said.
Xie Min opened her eyes for a moment before a smile broke out on her face. ”Alright!”
She wanted to remember Xie Min, Chaozhou, this city, and her friends in this city …
Tang Tianbao walked along the main street by himself. People like him were too common in Chaozhou city, so no one paid attention to him. Other than relying on his own sweat, he had to have a brain in order to fight against minor characters. In Chaozhou City, the saying goes: The person who earns money does not suffer, the person who suffers does not earn money. If one thought about it carefully, it was indeed like that. The richer one was, the richer they would become. Those without money could only become more and more penniless. The least valuable thing in this society is labor.
It wasn't that Tang Tianbao didn't have a brain, he just lacked a wise man's enlightenment. As someone who lacked experience in society, he couldn't think of any methods at the moment. He could only wander about on the streets. It didn't matter how far he walked. Tang Tianbao persevered. He didn't give up until the very last moment as his mind was filled with Xie Min. Every time he thought of Xie Min, he felt an inexplicable sense of power.
He persisted, not giving up. Tang Tianbao clenched his teeth and walked forward. The journey was long and uncertain, but he had faith, perhaps vague love, perhaps nothing. Xie Min was imperceptibly giving him strength. He could be defeated by hunger and heat, but as long as Xie Min was around, he wouldn't be defeated.
Tang Tianbao suddenly thought of Xie Min as his blood boiled once more. Seeing that ”Min” was thirsty, he swallowed his saliva and continued to walk forward.
Tang Tianbao also didn't know how far he had walked. He was simply too tired. He could no longer walk, so he squatted under a weeping willow to catch the cold along the right side of the road. He was too hot, and his mouth was dry. He had to drink; his throat was burning. However, he had no money. There were many small pavilions that sold ice cream, beverages, and mineral water. He didn't even dare to approach them. Other than these few clothes that could not be sold, there was nothing else on his body. When he was hungry, he could only endure. When he was tired, he could only endure. When he was thirsty, he could only endure. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
No food, no water. For the first time, Tang Tianbao felt the strangeness and indifference of Chaozhou City. He was so thirsty, his throat was sore, his saliva seemed dry, and he had to drink.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Chen Dalong for help.
Inside the phone was a reminder that no longer sounded sweet: Hello, your phone is in arrears. Please continue to pay for the call …
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tianbao raised his head. He looked at Liu Ye, his eyes filled with tears. Too thirsty to cry. This heartless city would not pity someone's tears. He could only hold back his tears.
Tang Tianbao stood up and continued to walk forward. He had to find a park as soon as possible. He had to find water in the lake or in the running water on the lawn. He couldn't wait.
He remembered that the People's Park in Chaozhou City was nearby. He walked towards the park, disregarding his own safety. Although his steps were tired, they were firm.
There aren't many tourists in People's Park now. However, the irrigation sprinklers on the lawn were still spinning and shooting water in all directions. Tang Tianbao put the woven bag outside the lawn and hurriedly ran into the lawn.
The problem of thirst was solved, but the problem of hunger was still unresolved. He collapsed on a chair by the side of the lawn. His wet hands were in his messy hair, and his eyes were a little hazy. The sun was blocked by dense foliage. It wasn't too hot in the park, so why not set up a stall here when Tang Tianbao suddenly thought of such a good environment? Thinking like this, Tang Tianbao also did the same.
He squatted down on the ground and carefully arranged the pieces of clothing one by one, afraid of blocking out their most distinctive features. When Tang Tianbao suddenly stood up, his vision became blurry and his head felt heavy. He staggered and fell to the ground.
