All right.
In this era where there was no belief, how many people could be trusted? How many were loyal? And how much trust and loyalty were built on the premise of equal benefits?
They became hypocritical, dirty, and had no bottom line. They became unscrupulous and deceitful. They claimed that this was the way to live a better life. They claimed that this was the way to survival and success. Those who were honest were accused of having low EQ. Those who were loyal were always hurt. Those who had faith were ridiculed and those who had principles were satirized.
What should this society be like? Or was it what they said it was? Qin Sheng was confused sometimes. But he firmly believed that those who stick to themselves and never forget their original intentions would become a flower that would never wither in this world.
Qin Sheng found Zhao Quan's reason and Zhao Song's loyalty a little ridiculous. But he could not do anything about it. When they deviated from the right track, it was destined that this day would come. Jiang Xianbang said that he would let them go, so Qin Sheng would let them go. After all, his matter was over.
After leaving the place, Qin Sheng took out his phone and found a number that he had not contacted for a long time. He sent a message, "Your Song family's ancient jade is in Xining Tower Temple. Please look for the Living Buddha Rako. No need to thank me, I am Lei Feng."
This number belonged to the fox's fiancée, Miss Song. Not long after, there was a reply, "Who are you?"
Qin Sheng did not respond. After a while, there was a reply, "Are you Qin Sheng?" Qin Sheng still ignored it. Then, there was a call. Qin Sheng rejected it directly.
At least for now, he did not want to be entangled with the past. He had a new life.
Qin Sheng returned to the hotel to pack his things. He told the hospital and bought the nearest high-speed train ticket. Then, he rushed back to Shanghai. On the high-speed train, he did not read anymore. Instead, he had a good sleep.
As for the ancient bronze sword from the Warring States Period, it had been sent back to Shanghai by Jiang Xianbang. It had nothing to do with Qin Sheng.
When he returned to Shilin Huayuan, it was just in the afternoon. He had been busy in Hangzhou for four to five days. He had almost forgotten that he had been suspended from Shangshan Ruoshui for a week. He had even prepared to go back to Shangshan Ruoshui to continue working. When he thought of this, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not inform Jiang Xianbang. Qin Sheng had to enjoy the remaining few days of vacation.
After taking a shower, Qin Sheng changed into a set of clean and comfortable clothes. This trip to Hangzhou made Qin Sheng feel the hostility in his heart again. Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself and did not kill anyone in Hangzhou. Hence, Qin Sheng strolled along the busy streets and went to the market to buy some vegetables. He was prepared to cook dinner for Chang Baji, Hao Lei, and Han Bing later.
The market was noisy and lively. The sound of good wives and mothers and aunties bargaining could be heard incessantly. Sometimes, life was more about the daily necessities of daily necessities. There were not so many earth-shattering and magnificent events.
When Qin Sheng returned to Shilin Huayuan, he happened to pass by the bookstore. It seemed that he had not visited it for a long time, so he went in with a smile.
"Hey, Qin Sheng, I haven't seen you for many days," Brother Liu, who was at the cashier's desk, greeted him with a smile.
Qin Sheng put the bag in his hand aside and replied, "I've been busy recently."
"Qin Sheng, you got off work so early today, and you bought so many vegetables," another shop assistant, Sister Tang, walked over and said.
"I just came back from a business trip and took two days off."
"Xiao Le, come out quickly. Look who's here," Brother Liu shouted deliberately.
Xiao Le, who was packing inside, ran out hurriedly. His face was red as he said, "Brother Liu, what are you doing?"
Brother Liu and Sister Tang could not help but laugh. They stopped interrupting and went about their own business.
"You're here," Xiao Le greeted Qin Sheng with his head lowered. Qin Sheng stared at Xiao Le and teased, "What's wrong with you? Why did you cut your hair? Well, I still think you look better with long hair, but this air fringe is not bad either."
"You have a glib tongue," Xiao Le glared at Qin Sheng and said.
Qin Sheng walked in and asked casually, "Are there any good books recently? Oh right, how's the thing I asked you to find out? Did that customer send any more books here?"
"No, he hasn't come since the last time he sent a pile of books here. But I've already found the books you asked for, they're over there," Xiao Le replied. She did not know what Qin Sheng meant by saying that he wanted to buy all the books that the customer sent, so she spent a lot of time looking for them. She finally finished the search two days ago, but unfortunately, she did not have Qin Sheng's contact information.
Hearing this news, Qin Sheng was very happy and said, "Thank you, I'll take these books away later. Also, if that customer comes again in the future, help me get his contact information. As long as he sends books here, I'll buy them all."
"Oh, you still know how to say thank you?" Xiao Le mocked. However, she remembered Qin Sheng's matter. Qin Sheng should be the most loyal customer of this bookstore now. Xiao Le especially liked men who liked to read, always feeling that they had a kind of scholarly and scholarly aura. However, the mysterious boss who only came once or twice a year had once said, "Most righteous people are those who butcher dogs, but merciless people are always scholars."
Qin Sheng knocked on Xiao Le's head out of curiosity, which made Xiao Le's face turn even redder. He ignored it and walked in alone to see what other books he could find.
After staying in the bookstore for half an hour, he found two history books, one was "The Resurgence of the Two Dynasties" from the Song Dynasty, and the other was "The Records of the Ming Dynasty" from the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, every time he came here, he would find something. Although this bookstore was not big, there were many books inside.
After packing all the books of that customer, including these two books, he spent a total of less than 400 yuan. Qin Sheng, who had gained quite a lot, greeted Xiao Le and the rest, then carried the groceries home.
When he reached home, he called Han Bing and Chang Baji, saying that he had returned from Hangzhou and would be cooking tonight. He asked them to come over for dinner. It seemed that after moving into Shilin Huayuan, he rarely cooked, so the equipment he bought was wasted.
At 6: 30 in the evening, when Qin Sheng's dinner was almost ready, Han Bing brought Hao Lei and Chang Baji into the house one after another. After entering the house, Han Bing put down her bag, took off her coat, put on her shoes and ran into the kitchen, saying, "It smells so good, did you make all these?"
"Nonsense, if it wasn't me, would it be you?" Qin Sheng curled his lips and said proudly.
"Don't tell me you ordered takeout," Han Bing said disapprovingly when she saw Qin Sheng being so cocky. Before Qin Sheng could refute, Han Bing pointed at him and said, "That's what you said about me last time."
Qin Sheng could not be bothered and continued to focus on cooking. Han Bing tied up her long hair, rolled up her sleeves and said, "What do you need help with?"
"No need, sit outside and wait. This is the last dish, dinner will be ready soon." Qin Sheng pushed Han Bing out directly, afraid that she would make trouble. Although she could cook, she could only eat.
Han Bing did not insist. As an independent woman with good taste in the New Era, Han Bing did not want to become an old woman at an early age. If that happened, her husband would despise her.
After washing his hands, he sobered up the red wine he brought. Not long after, the last dish was ready.
"Why are you in such a good mood today? Something's not right," Han Bing asked with a puzzled look. This seemed to be the first time Qin Sheng cooked.
Qin Sheng said indifferently, "Is it? I just came back from a business trip and feel relaxed. I still have a few days off, so I'll cook for you guys. Try it first, if you like it, don't worry, I won't cook again. "
Everyone thought that Qin Sheng would say something nice, they did not expect him to say the same old thing. They could not help but laugh.
"Well, it's delicious," Han Bing tasted the sweet and sour carp, which was more to her taste, and praised it. Then she tasted a few more dishes and said, "Delicious, much better than mine. It seems that I have to come here more often in the future."
"Don't, I don't have time to cook," Qin Sheng quickly stopped.
Han Bing pouted and said, "Stingy, look at how scared you are."
After they clinked glasses, Chang Baji said calmly, "Is everything going well in Hangzhou?"
Hao Lei and Han Bing did not think much about it. After all, Qin Sheng and Chang Baji were now working in Shangshan Ruoshui.
"Although there were some twists and turns, it was still smooth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so early," Qin Sheng explained casually and then asked, "How's business in Shangshan Ruoshui these days?"
"It's okay, I didn't pay much attention," Chang Baji did not know what Qin Sheng meant and said honestly.
Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "You can observe tomorrow and see if there is a decrease in the number of customers."
"What's wrong?" Chang Baji frowned.
Qin Sheng explained casually, "Nothing. I just have a little guess and want to verify it."
Chang Baji nodded and said, "Alright, I'll pay attention tomorrow."
Time flew. It was almost New Year's Day. Thinking of going back to Xi 'an with Lin Xin to celebrate Auntie Wang's birthday, Qin Sheng asked casually, "Hao Lei, I may go back to Xi' an on New Year's Day. Will you go back?"
Hao Lei had left in a hurry the last time and did not have time to tell his family in detail. However, he still had to protect Han Bing, so he asked hesitantly, "What about Han Bing?"
"It's a three-day holiday for New Year's Day. I'll go back to Xi 'an with you. You can show me around." Han Bing couldn't wait to go out to play. It had been a long time since she went out to relax.
Qin Sheng hesitated for a while and said, "That's fine. It's settled then. I'll go back to Xi 'an on New Year's Day."
After dinner, Qin Sheng sent Han Bing back and accompanied her for a walk outside. They did not leave until it was very late, but Han Bing was still reluctant to leave.
When dawn arrived, Qin Sheng went out early again and set off from Shilin Huayuan.
He ran all the way to the flower shop next to Poly Square. It did not take him long to get there. He walked and stopped for 40 minutes.
When the waitress saw Qin Sheng, she immediately thought of this customer who only wanted a white rose. She asked casually, "A white rose?"
Qin Sheng nodded and paid for the flowers under the waitress's contemptuous gaze. He estimated that he would always be despised in the future.
The receptionist of Lin Su's company was already at work. It was an old acquaintance. This time, it was not as troublesome as last time. Qin Sheng directly handed the flowers to her and said, "Boss Lin ordered it."
"Okay." The receptionist politely took it.
Qin Sheng left happily.
He took the bus back to Shilin Huayuan and ate his breakfast outside. He planned to read the Heavenly Book today and exercise in the afternoon. He would wait until the evening to find Jiang Xianbang.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Lin Su called. This time, it was not a text message.
"You're back?" Standing in front of the window, Lin Su smelled the pure white rose and smiled. She naturally knew that the white rose was from Qin Sheng. It meant that Qin Sheng had returned from his business trip. Since he was willing to give it to her, she would not stop him.
Qin Sheng said happily, "I just came back last night."
"What are you doing at noon?" Lin Su, who was in a bad mood, planned to give herself half a day off.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "Nothing."
"Treat me to hot pot," Lin Su said very directly. For any man, if the goddess in his heart took the initiative to invite him, he would have to be stupid to refuse.
