Chapter 287: The plan was successful, Hongdou was depressed and chose to escape.
(I will update one more chapter today. This plot must be coherent, otherwise it will be easy to be cut. Thank you for your continued support. Please give me some praise. I want to give it 7 points)
Chen An walked in and grabbed some snacks, put them on the table, turned on the TV and said, "You watch the show first. I'll make two bowls of noodles and a few side dishes. They'll be ready soon. You haven't eaten Chef Chen's cooking for so long, you must be craving for it."
Xu Hongdou nodded and suggested, "Xiao An, do you have any wine? Let's drink some later, so that we can have a good rest at night."
"Yes, it's in the cabinet over there. There are both white wine and red wine. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. If not, I'll have someone send it to you." Chen An pointed to the cabinet.
"No need, go and do your work first." Xu Hongdou felt that with her cute and coquettish manner and her good alcohol tolerance, she would definitely be able to find a way to get Chen An drunk.
Chen An was busy in the kitchen, but he was observing Xu Hongdou's behavior through a small mirror in the corner of the kitchen with the corner of his eye.
I saw Hongdou first find a bottle of white wine in the wine cabinet, then sit on the sofa, fiddle with her mobile phone for a while, and then stare at the TV in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen An quietly took out his newly bought mobile phone and sent a text message.
Xu Hongdou was daydreaming when she suddenly heard a cell phone ringing. She then noticed Chen An's bag, which was thrown on the sofa not far from her, and the ringing sound came from the bag.
Xu Hongdou shouted towards the kitchen, "Xiao An, your phone is ringing."
"Hongdou, please help me check it. If it's a harassing call, just hang up. I'm so annoyed every day with the renovation and insurance sales recently." Chen An responded loudly.
Xu Hongdou took the briefcase, opened it and found the phone. She picked it up and took a look. She saw that the place of origin on it was actually Beijing. However, she didn't save the call, so she simply didn't answer it. "It's an unfamiliar number. It's from another city, so it must be a harassment call."
"Don't worry about it..." Chen An responded casually and continued to be busy.
Xu Hongdou was just about to put her phone back into her bag when it rang again. Seeing that it was the same number, Xu Hongdou thought about it and answered the call.
A pleasant female voice came from the other side immediately, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Xiao Li from the investment department of Rongfang Loan Company."
When Xu Hongdou heard this, she was moved and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiao An is not available to answer the phone right now. If you have anything to talk to him about, you can tell me first and I'll tell him later."
"It's like this, ma'am. Last time, Mr. Chen applied for a copyright mortgage loan from us. After our review, we have approved an amount of 15 million. Please tell Mr. Chen to call me back when you are done and complete the procedures as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll tell him." Xu Hongdou's voice trembled a little.
Putting away the phone, Xu Hongdou looked at Chen An, who was busy cooking and not paying attention to this side. She breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help frowning. Last time, Xiao An told her that he had obtained 10 million in funds. Could it be a copyright mortgage loan?
Suddenly, he remembered that when he took out his phone just now, he seemed to see a file bag in the briefcase. He carefully turned sideways to block Chen An's sight, carefully opened the briefcase, took out three file bags, opened the first one and took a look. It was Blue Ocean Literature's various plans for the college student text competition.
He put it aside and opened the second one. It contained many things about the company's recruiting positions, salary and benefits, etc. Xu Hongdou didn't want to read this now.
It was not until the third file bag was opened that I found a copyright certificate and a mortgage contract. I saw that the amount on it was 10 million, the mortgage period was two years, and the interest rate was very high.
Especially the phone call just now, Xu Hongdou suddenly felt that the documents in her hand were particularly heavy. Looking at the man who was cooking seriously in the kitchen, her mood was very complicated and inexplicable.
He clearly knew the value of his work, but he chose to mortgage the copyright at a low price for his own sake. If he could not pay the money back when the time came, he would be suffering a loss of five million. All this was because of his spur of the moment decision.
Through her contact with Damai these days and listening to Nannan's stories, Xu Hongdou fully understands the value and preciousness of Chen An's work, especially the importance of a work to an author. Xu Hongdou can feel that emotion from Damai.
Moreover, this work is the capital of Chen An'an's livelihood. Thinking of the unhesitating support at that time, in just one night, not only did he plan his future, but he also took out his most precious thing to support his career. It seemed calm at the time, but what kind of torment must he be feeling in his heart.
Xu Hongdou thought this little man was so stupid. For Nan Nan, he took out the cancer treatment medicine without hesitation. It was the most precious and important thing to him. Besides, everyone needed that kind of magical medicine, but he did not hesitate.
Now that it has come to her, in order to make her no longer confused and to have direction in her life and work, he has given her his most precious work and supported her without hesitation. At that time, she had no confidence in the future.
He didn't even know if his parents and sister would support him, but he...
Tears rolled down Xu Hongdou's eyes, and her lips trembled slightly, but her eyes were always fixed on Chen An, without blinking. At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself. Xiao An not only loved her, but maybe he really loved her.
Thinking back on the scenes when the two of them were together, especially the time when they filmed the short video at the beach, I was being so obvious, but Xiao An just kissed me on the forehead. At that time, I thought that this guy was a coward. Now it seems that everything has an answer.
He must have been very conflicted at the time. On the one hand, she was Nan Nan's best friend, and he just wanted to take care of himself. But feelings were something that could not be controlled when they came, so he liked herself, very much.
But now, who can tell me what to do?
If it were before, Xu Hongdou would still have the courage to question Chen An why he lied to her and why he was playing two games at the same time, but can she do that now?
Do you have the qualifications? Xiao An probably plans to live in Yunmiao Village for three months. By then, he will have enough money to start his own business. After all, he is the one who caused all this. What will it do if he says he doesn't want to start a company now? Things have already come to this.
So now I not only have to start a company, but also do better. Otherwise, I will not only be sorry for Xiao An's efforts, but also sorry for Nan Nan.
As for feelings, Xu Hongdou was really confused. She just had to suppress it for the time being and take it one step at a time. Maybe when Xiao An knew Nan Nan's situation, his feelings for her would fade, and then she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Hongdou, wash your hands and get ready for dinner..." Chen An's voice came from the kitchen. Xu Hongdou was startled, but still responded quickly.
She quickly organized the file bag and was about to put her phone back when she suddenly thought of the phone record. She wanted to delete it, but when she saw the password, she couldn't help but feel confused.
She tried quickly, but 1234 was wrong, and 0000 was also wrong. Xu Hongdou felt her palms sweating. She thought about Chen An's birthday and entered it quickly, but it was still wrong. After hesitating for a moment, she entered her own birthday, but it was also wrong. She only had one last chance. Xu Hongdou gritted her teeth and entered Nan Nan's birthday.
The screen changed, and a photo of herself and Nan Nan appeared on the phone screen. Xu Hongdou looked at the photo with indescribable feelings in her heart. She noticed Chen An's actions, quickly deleted the call records, put the phone away, and made sure that she was not discovered. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and quickly got up to wash her hands.
