Chapter 143: The 36th Strategy of Torturing Oneself.
Chen An saw Xu Hongdou's expression from upstairs and couldn't help but raise two fingers and snicker. Woman, don't you have a sense of territory? Then I'll let you wake up. If rumors spread tomorrow, I don't know what kind of expression Xu Hongdou will have. No, I have to make some preparations...
The approach to treating different women is different. For example, in Damai's current situation, she is somewhat confused about her future. She needs a partner who is independent-minded and has certain abilities to bring direction to her life. Therefore, Chen An's role in front of her is developing towards a life mentor.
As for Nana, she was hit hard by the online violence, so she chose to stay in this unfamiliar place in the village. Instead of having to face her past, the other half she needs must first have certain strength and ability, at least someone who can shelter her from the wind and rain. As for being humorous and able to mobilize her emotions, that is also essential.
So although Chen An was cynical in front of Nana, he also showed his certain strength. At the same time, his affectionate personality also left an impression on Nana.
As for Xu Hongdou, I have already analyzed her before. Her biggest weakness is that she cares about her reputation. So here comes the problem. A man who loved her and protected her yesterday suddenly fell in love with another woman, and she was someone close to her. She would never admit that she was worse than Nana, nor would she allow herself to be worse than Nana...
Chen An returned to the room and lay on the bed for a while. He looked at the time and it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. He walked to the cabinet, took out the medicine and gauze, put them on the coffee table, peeled off the gauze and looked at the wound. There was no problem...
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally heard footsteps at the door...
Although Xu Hongdou was a little depressed, she still had to do what she promised, so she planned to show her cooking skills in the evening to let her stinky little brother see that your sister Hongdou is also virtuous and gentle.
When I walked to the door and was about to knock, I realized that the door was not closed at all. I looked inside and saw Chen An sitting on the sofa, clumsily applying medicine to his wound...
I quickly walked forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is the wound uncomfortable? Is it inflamed..."
"It's okay, it's just a little itchy..." Chen An explained.
"Don't move. Let me take a look." Xu Hongdou grabbed Chen An's arm and checked it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the hideous wound. Suddenly, she felt warm in her heart and said softly, "The wound is itchy. It should be healing and growing new flesh. You are so old, but you don't know this common sense?"
"I've cut my finger before..."
Xu Hongdou paused and said nothing, but applied medicine and bandaged the wound, becoming more careful...
"Oh, okay, call me when you apply the medicine tomorrow. You can't do it yourself, you are clumsy..."
Chen An nodded, "Well, Hongdou, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"What? Your hand is injured and you can't move..."
"It's okay, I can just use my right hand to cook, and this basically doesn't affect my activities..."
Xu Hongdou refused directly, "If I say no, then it's no. Besides, didn't you eat the meal I cooked this morning? Wasn't it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious..."
"That's fine. I still have some specialties to cook, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and stir-fried pork..."
"Then I'll go down and accompany you. Otherwise, it's boring to cook alone."
Chen An originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but Xu Hongdou refused firmly. Looking at her clumsy hands and feet, Chen An felt amused but also felt sorry for this woman. She was like this when he just got together with Nan Nan. This is the helplessness of working hard in a big city and losing one's own life.
"So, what does Xie Zhiyao want to talk to you about today?" Xu Hongdou asked.
"What else can I do? You want me to come here and invest."
"Investment, what project?"
"Woodcarving workshop, what do you think?"
Xu Hongdou frowned and thought for a while. "I heard in the restaurant that most of Master Xie's apprentices have left in recent years. Xia Xia is the last one, so the woodcarving workshop can basically be said to exist in name only. It is only with Master Xie, the successor, that it can still hold on."
"And our hotel actually also uses wood carving, but it's all machine-carved. After all, manual wood carving is too slow and expensive, and the market demand is very small."
"Well, our ideas are basically the same, and there are many disadvantages, so I rejected it."
"That's good." Xu Hongdou thought for a moment and lowered her voice, "As far as I know, many people came to the village to invest before, but they are all losing money at the moment."
Chen An blinked and asked, "So you are worried about me?"
Xu Hongdou snorted, "That's right. There are beautiful mountains and rivers here, beautiful scenery, and so many pretty girls. I'm worried that you'll be impulsive and regret it later. After all, it's not easy to make some money."
"Beauty? Who can compare to you, Director Xu?"
"You have good vision." After saying this, Xu Hongdou suddenly thought of a question, "Did you come here this time just to see if there are any investment opportunities here?"
"That's right..."
"Now that you don't plan to invest, will you leave soon?" Xu Hongdou asked this, and suddenly felt reluctant.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth."
"Actually, when I first came here, I only planned to stay for about a week, but after so many things happened, I changed my mind." Chen An didn't wait for Xu Hongdou to ask, and directly asked, "How long do you plan to live here?"
When Xu Hongdou heard Chen An's words, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what does this mean for the stinky brother? What does it mean that something happened and he changed his mind? Are these things directed at her?
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Besides, I finally stopped, so I might as well take a break for a while. I once promised my best friend that I would come over here to play, but she can't come over now, so it may take some time."
"Then I'll stay here for a while..."
Xu Hongdou really wanted to ask Chen An what this meant, but she held back. After all, what if he misunderstood?
After chatting for a while, Xu Hongdou started cooking and asked Chen An to go upstairs and call Damai to come down to eat together.
