"Two years is just right for us to get to know each other." Zhao Xunchang made the final decision, "It's settled. The main reason is that it's hard to get funds delivered to your doorstep. As long as the money is in place, our advertising and engineering can keep up."
Chen Ling remained silent, but his eyes flickered towards Jiang Yu.
The sunlight shone down from above, forming a faint halo on the man's black hair, and his cold white skin was tinged with warmth, giving him a more alive complexion.
Zhao Xunchang sneered: "If nothing else, the old man's face is indeed handsome."
Chen Ling didn't feel embarrassed about being caught peeking, and even nodded and said, "Then I'm afraid you will have to go and discuss the future shares and dividend ratio with the Jiang family in person. We don't take advantage, but we don't suffer losses either. We handle business as usual."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll leave everything to you." Zhao Xunchang put his hand on his little disciple's shoulder. His lips moved a few times and then closed again. It was unknown what he said but he swallowed it back into his stomach.
After the two parties reached a preliminary cooperation intention, Jiang Shengxing left quickly. Only then did everyone notice Ding Junyuan standing silently in the corner.
Ding Junyuan felt miserable. Am I not worthy of having a name? I stood there for so long before being discovered.
Wu Weiwei apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ding. I was too busy just now to neglect you."
"No, no." Ding Junyuan said in a guilty conscience, "Mr. Wu is too polite.
Wu Weiwei looked at his brother Chen: "How about letting Mr. Ding sleep with me tonight?"
Chen Ling had no objection, but he thought of the other person sitting next to him. Jiang Shengxing had already left, so why didn't this person leave yet
Seeing something in his apprentice's eyes, Zhao Xunchang took the initiative to say, "According to our company's welfare package of free food and accommodation, I have arranged for Jiang Yu to live in the big house next to yours."
Chen Ling: "You are really quick."
Zhao Xunchang said without any modesty: "Of course, as the sponsor, we must take good care of him."
The room next to Chen Ling was once the firewood room of the original owner. It is located in a shady area, but it is very large.
At this time, the previously dilapidated and decayed space had been tidied up by the people brought by Jiang Shengxing. The rotten wooden cabinets were moved out, and a lot of antique furniture and ornaments were added. In order to increase the light, several tiles in the center of the roof were also replaced with transparent tiles.
Chen Ling pretended to pass by and took a look at the big new Chinese-style bed inside. He sighed in his heart, thinking that it was such a luxury. That bed was big enough for three people to sleep on.
"Brother Chen, I have prepared everything you asked me to prepare." Wu Weiwei ran over and handed over the things in his hand, "Please give them to Brother Jiang."
Chen Ling fell back with his arms full of things and found Jiang Yu leaning on a rocking chair reading a book. The book was titled "The Classic of Purity and Tranquility Spoken by the Most High Lord Laozi".
Although the Yin God is named as a god, it cannot change its nature as a ghost. Who could have thought that our ancestor was so powerful that he dared to read Taoist scriptures in broad daylight.
Magical, so magical.
It's a little bit unbelievable.
After all, it was someone else's private matter, so Chen Ling didn't ask too much or think too deeply about it. He just put the things in his hand on the small round table next to the rocking chair: "These are the toiletries prepared for you."
Looking at the man's clean face, he suddenly became curious: "Jiang Yu, do you need these things?"
"You can treat me as a normal person."
Jiang Yu put down the book, and slowly sat up straight from his lazy chair, shortening the distance between him and the young man. "An ordinary friend, an ordinary colleague, and all the activities that ordinary humans need, I will naturally need them too."
Chen Ling felt embarrassed, knowing that the man saw through his reserve and his discomfort with the current relationship.
Jiang Yu stood up and could smell the young man's breath when he lowered his head. "Although the relationship between you and me cannot be changed, the process can be changed at will. Let's take our time. There's no rush."
The rare gentle tone made Chen Ling at a loss. He felt that the person in front of him was so changeable, sometimes strong and sometimes gentle. He wondered if they could continue to get along and discover more different Jiang Yu.
"Oh." Chen Ling's response was indifferent, but he walked out very quickly. When he was about to go out, his feet struggled and he almost tripped over himself.
Hearing the chuckle behind him, his ears turned red and he turned around and glared at the person.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and read the book, quiet and elegant, as if nothing had happened. His acting was great.
In the afternoon, Chen Ling took some time to go to the mountain to check on the progress of the project. Contractor Yang was an honest man. He kept an eye on the workers at work all the time and did not steal materials or do anything else.
Seeing the young boss going up the mountain, he habitually handed him a cigarette, then he remembered something and took it back, "Look at me, I forgot that Mr. Chen doesn't smoke."
Chen Ling hummed, glanced at the already drawn regional plan, and asked, "Brother Yang, how much vegetation do you think is needed for this entire mountain?"
"Quite a lot." He turned and pointed to the top of the mountain. "You have to plant the hill behind you as well. The total cost is at least over a million, not including some large plants."
It takes five to ten years, or even longer, for a sapling to grow from weak to strong, and from half a meter to a towering height.
In order to green the cemetery, no effort should be spared in the selection of vegetation, especially large trees such as pine and cypress. Chen Ling felt cold in his heart. He had thought that greening could be done by winning Ding Junyuan's order. Now he realized how naive he was.
While he was distracted, Chen Ling heard the contractor say, "Mr. Chen, your greening plan is complete, but this land..."
Yuhe Mountain is famous for its barrenness. When Yang, the contractor, first received Chen Ling's cooperation intention, he was happy for a while because he had a project to do, but he really couldn't find the necessity to implement this project.
From a geographical point of view, even he, a layman, knows that Yuhe Mountain is indeed suitable for building a tomb, but the surrounding environment does not give people a good feeling.
Looking at other cemeteries surrounded by green trees, it is clear without comparison that Yuheshan Cemetery will be completely defeated after its completion. We can only wait and see whether it can attract some buyers by offering a low price in the end.
"Brother Yang, take a look at this." Chen Ling squatted down and pushed aside the dead grass.
"Wow." The contractor was surprised, "It's growing new ones."
Chen Ling couldn't bring out Zhao Xunchang's rhetoric about the turnaround, so he explained from a scientific perspective: "I have asked agricultural experts to help with testing. Previously, there were harmful substances in the soil of Yuhe Mountain that were not conducive to plant growth. However, recently, these substances have been completely decomposed, and the green plants will definitely survive if they are planted."
I didn't expect such a thing to happen. The contractor patted the young man on the back and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen is lucky."
Chen Ling smiled and said nothing.
The workers on the mountain were busy. A slender figure passed by and walked towards the other side of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaoxia carried a small bamboo basket filled with incense, candles, paper money, roast chicken, a bottle of juice and a handful of candy, and walked straight to Xiaobao's grave.
"Sister Zhang." Chen Ling called her from behind.
Zhang Xiaoxia turned around and said, "Mr. Chen."
"Come and see Xiaobao?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaoxia looked down at her basket, touched every item inside with her fingers, and whispered, "My husband and I have agreed to go to his city at the end of the month to work and earn money together. After one or two years, we will have another child."
Chen Ling gave her a lucky charm and said, "I will help you take care of Xiaobao. Remember to burn some paper for him during the Qingming Festival."
"We will." Zhang Xiaoxia held the triangular talisman paper gratefully, her eyes slightly red, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"No thanks, no thanks." Chen Ling took out three incense sticks from the basket and inserted them in front of Xiaobao's grave. He said goodbye to Zhang Xiaoxia and went up to Jiang Yu's grave.
The grave was bare with only a layer of soft soil, and the new grass sprouts on the edge of the soil attracted his attention.
The life of green grass is very vigorous, and it only needs a little rain to grow rapidly and vigorously. According to the current momentum, within half a month, the head of the ancestor will be covered with green grass.
I don’t know what expression the person involved will have when he finds out about this.
Because of this incident, Chen Ling was in a good mood the whole night. After dinner, he went into his room to study hard, and before he knew it, it was midnight.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. He rubbed his dry eyes and touched his empty stomach, intending to go to the kitchen to find something to fill his stomach so that he wouldn't be unable to sleep.
When I passed by the dark kitchen, I heard the sound of running water in the pipes. Who would use water here at this time
Chen Ling paused, holding onto the door frame and looking inside, the kitchen was pitch black and no one was there. He frowned and continued walking forward.
Next to the kitchen is the public shower room, which is blocked by a thick wooden door. Over the years, the corners of the door have rotted and peeled off, and it is always wet.
I grabbed the door handle and pushed it open, my heart skipping a beat.
A tall black figure stood in the center, and a thick smell of blood rushed towards him. Chen Ling turned on the light as a reflex. In order not to be attacked by the sudden danger, he tried to keep his eyes open when the strong light appeared.
That's why he saw a flash of crimson charm on the man's back before he turned around.
Jiang Yu stood naked on the ground, with water droplets hanging on his body. The coolness spread from him in waves. Seeing the young man looking at him stupidly, he walked over calmly.
It was not until a wall of people appeared in front of him that Chen Ling suddenly came to his senses. He moved his eyes left and right, but refused to look straight ahead.
He swallowed and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you turn on the light in there?"
After renting the courtyard, with the consent of the landlord, a small bathroom was separated from the rooms of Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang, and the original shower room was left idle and is currently only used by Wu Weiwei.
All three of them are grown men, so it doesn't matter if they bump into each other accidentally. After all, you have it, I have it, and everyone has it. If the latch on the door is broken, no one will rush to buy a new one to replace it.
Who knew that a moment of laziness would lead to the current situation.
The man exuded a chill and stood in front of her with an open mind. No matter how hard she tried to hide, she could still catch a glimpse of the vague outline of his flesh from the corner of her eye.
Jiang Yu supported the door with his arms and closed it with a little effort.
Chen Ling was stunned, his hair standing on end, and then he saw the man raising a hand towards him.
The damp air lingered around him, and he tilted his head alertly, with the tip of his ear just missing the hand, and then there was a rustling sound.
"What do you think I want to do?" Jiang Yu put on the clothes he took down from the hook on the door and buttoned them up slowly. The moonlight from the night sky behind him gently covered his body, softening his originally cold temperament.
