After the meal, everyone was a little drunk, or slumped on the triangular lazy sofa that Lao Jiang took out. Search: \(¨¨¨¨¨) to watch fine literature for free
He Xueying and Gu Yao put their heads together to watch variety shows on their mobile phones. When they saw interesting places, they grabbed each other's hands and laughed. The two were still a little rusty during the day, and I don't know when they became so good.
He Chengtian was chatting with Lao Jiang, and personally asked about his personal experience and the reason for opening this restaurant.
Zhang Siyi also held his head and listened to the side. When he learned that Lao Jiang, like Gu Xiao, was also the champion of the college entrance examination in a certain province, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped. The grand plan, instead, is hidden in a corner of this city that no one cares about.
Talking about the reason for opening the restaurant, Lao Jiang said with a smile: "It may be that I read a lot of martial arts, poetry and poetry when I was a child, and I dreamed of opening a restaurant of my own when I was a child, like the sweeping monk in Tianlong Babu, like Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" Just like those masters in the movie who are hidden in the city, be a person who returns to the basics... Hahaha, is it a bit of a middle school?"
He Chengtian also laughed. A down-and-out hero can be the most sympathetic to each other. Which young man has never had Lao Jiang's dream? It's just that with growth and maturity, those ridiculous ideas are slowly obliterated by the pursuit of fame and fortune.
No money, what dreams are you talking about? He Chengtian always used this sentence to ridicule those guys who deceived themselves with their dreams, and told himself that only with money can you become a superior person, and with money, you can do what you want to do.
But once he has money, he will want to be richer. There will always be people who are richer than him. No matter how much he earns, can he surpass Jack Ma? He doesn't know where his end is, he just keeps walking forward.
So at this moment, under the repeated stimulation of Zhang Siyi, Gu Xiao and Lao Jiang, He Chengtian finally began to be confused.
He couldn't help but ask Lao Jiang, "Then do you make money by opening this restaurant? Where does your main income come from?" He still cares about this very much.
However, compared to the poisonous Gu Xiao, Lao Jiang was much more modest.
He Yuyou explained that he took the license exam in the same year as Gu Xiao. After Gu Xiao took the exam, he went a step further to become the director of Wujing, but he took a step back and left the construction industry instead. restaurants.
The domestic construction industry acquiesced in the "affiliation" behavior, that is, borrowing their licenses to others, allowing people without licenses to do architectural design with their own qualifications, and the affiliates can collect a part of the affiliate fee from it.
This behavior was very popular in the construction industry in the early years. Even if an architect did not work, he could earn more than ten to two hundred thousand yuan a year, or even more, just by virtue of the affiliation fee. However, in recent years, due to the gradual increase in the number of licensed architects, the affiliation behavior has led to a significant decrease in the industry standard to some extent, so they have been banned continuously, and the affiliation fee has also decreased year by year.
Zhang Siyi had heard of "affiliation" before, and immediately asked curiously, "Is the income from affiliate licenses high now?"
Lao Jiang glanced at Zhang Siyi with great interest. When he had just eaten, he heard Gu Xiao introduced Zhang Siyi in an intimate tone and said that this was the "little apprentice" brought by his company, so he kept his mind. During the banquet, he found that Gu Xiao was staring at this little guy from time to time, and he felt more and more abnormal - how could he, an old classmate who was arrogant and arrogant on the surface, ever cared so much about a person
Since this Zhang Siyi is Gu Xiao's apprentice, and he and Gu Xiao are classmates, then he can be regarded as Zhang Siyi's uncle and uncle, right? Ha ha!
Lao Jiang was amused by his own thoughts, and said to Zhang Siyi: "It's not as good as before. It's not bad to have 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in affiliation fees every year. For the time being, let's live on this income..." He waved his hand, like It was to persuade Zhang Siyi like an admonishment to the younger generation, "But don't follow me, I do a lazy job, sleep until the sun rises three poles every day, a cup of tea and two books, and I have nothing to do, but I have a day in my life. One day, there is no future, you follow your master well, he has a better future than me."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
Gu Xiao leaned to one side, drinking lazily, and when he heard this, he squinted at him, and said with the corners of his mouth: "You know what you are doing is lazy? I hope this restaurant closes soon, so that you can I'll come out and do something serious." Lao Jiang was so angry that he picked up a peanut shell on the table and threw him, but Gu Xiao grabbed it with his hand, and snorted with a smile: "But it's a pity to be an architect with this cooking skill. some."
Hearing the tone revealed by Gu Xiao, Zhang Siyi thought to himself, although he just said "what he wants to do is Lao Jiang's freedom", he still feels a little pity for Lao Jiang's talent, right
Only He Chengtian was not in the same dimension with them. He was confused for a while, and asked, "70,000 to 80,000 yuan is not enough to invest in this restaurant, right?"
Lao Jiang chewed a peanut and continued to throw the peanut shell at Gu Xiao, while saying, "Well, isn't there President Gu!"
He Chengtian was surprised: "Is this restaurant invested by him?"
Old Jiang snorted: "How could he invest in me like this cheap guy? I asked him to borrow money. My brother will settle the account, and the interest will be calculated!"
It may be that Lao Jiang complained about Gu Xiao's words to please He Chengtian, but he wanted to sing the opposite of Gu Xiao: "Such a good place, if you can open it for a longer time, so, if you find it difficult in the future, you can find me, I will invest You." He Chengtian said, took out a business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang was so happy to scatter the peanut shells and quickly took the business card: "Wow, fourth, your high school classmate is the big boss!?"
Gu Xiao still maintained his original posture, holding a wine glass and sneering: "Yes, he is a local tyrant, you quickly hug your thighs."
He Chengtian: "..."
Zhang Siyi's cheeks were slightly red, and he asked Lao Jiang curiously, "Why is he called Gu Xiao 'the fourth'?"
... I always feel that there is a strange sense of matching with his nickname "Fourth Aunt". (=/=)
Moreover, Gu Xiao also knew the nickname that his colleagues gave him, so he didn't know if he would find it strange. Zhang Siyi secretly looked at Gu Xiao and found that Gu Xiao was also looking at him, so he quickly avoided his sight.
Lao Jiang smiled "haha" and said, "There are four people in our dormitory. He is one year younger than us. He is the youngest, so he is called 'the fourth'."
Zhang Siyi asked strangely, "A year younger than you?"
"Well, according to the Gregorian calendar, it is a small year," He Chengtian answered this time. He looked at Gu Xiao, "but I remember that your birthday is in January, right? According to the lunar calendar, the zodiac signs are the same."
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows to look at him: "You know all this? It seems that you are very concerned about me."
He Chengtian: "..." (= dish=) Damn, every year you receive more love letters and gifts on your birthday than I do, can I not know!
He Chengtian doesn't want to talk to Gu Xiao anymore, he still prefers to chat with Lao Jiang. After chatting, He Chengtian even joked about the other party's emotional life: "Then you live here alone every day and don't make money, are you worried that you can't find a partner?"
Lao Jiang said without hesitation: "People who like my way of life will naturally be attracted by my values. Even if they have three meals a day, they will choose to stay with me. But if they disagree with my three views, No matter how much money I have, the people I attract are not what I want. Since I’m not a fellow traveler in the world, what’s the point of being together?… Yes, there are many secular people in this world, but there are always one or two exceptions. , so it's better to 'better lack rather than abuse', feelings like this are something that can't be met."
As a "secular" person, He Chengtian silently burst into tears in his heart upon hearing this.
After sitting until nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Xiao proposed to leave. Everyone was used to the temperature of the heated kang, and it felt as comfortable and comfortable as in their own home, and they were a little too lazy to get up.
Gu Xiao took out a stack of money to settle the bill, but Lao Jiang, who had just scolded him for being cheap, refused: "Forget it, forget it, don't give it."
Gu Xiao asked with a smile: "Don't you say that your brothers will settle accounts?"
Lao Jiang pushed his hand: "You wrote so many words to me and you didn't charge me any money."
Gu Xiao and him were unable to fight for two sentences, but he had no choice but to withdraw it, and said with a vicious tongue: "It will close down sooner or later."
Lao Jiang: "..."
Several people put on their coats, scarves and hats, and said goodbye to the "Guest arrival" with no end in sight.
When they went out, there was a chill outside, and everyone shuddered and walked out staggeringly next to each other.
After walking 100 meters away, Zhang Siyi also turned his head and glanced back, only to see that the two lanterns on the Chaimen had been extinguished, and the whole "Guest" seemed to be hidden in the darkness again, and had never appeared.
But the smell of alcohol in his stomach, the warmth on his body, and the endless aftertaste of chicken soup on the tip of his tongue reminded him that this was not a dream.
Passing through the residential area and returning to the secular world, He Chengtian also reacted with hindsight - Damn, it's obviously Gu Xiao's treat, why didn't this fellow spend a penny, but instead, he dug for himself A potential investment pit! ? (= dish=)
The good man did it to the end and sent the Buddha to the west. He Xueying had a car, so he took a few people home one by one on the way.
In the evening, Zhang Siyi took a bath and lay on the bed, reflecting on what happened in the day. He always felt that today's "date" was a bit awkward, but still felt bad, so he privately sent He Xueying an apology and thank you Wechat, and promised to do it again later. Treat her to a meal alone.
He Xueying quickly replied: "You're welcome, it's rare to come out to play together, and I've also met new friends. I'm also very happy."
She added: "Gu Yao and I added WeChat and invited her to come to my house next time. Would you like to come with us?"
Zhang Siyi was stunned, remembering He Xueying's enthusiastic attitude when he invited him to practice driving, he hesitated a little: "I'm not sure about the time, I'll talk about it next time."
Chatting with He Xueying, Zhang Siyi threw his phone aside and raised his hand to cover his face.
No matter what happened to He Xueying or not, after today, Zhang Siyi discovered a terrible fact - his plan to find a girlfriend or divert his attention through normal dating has failed completely!
He is now full of Gu Xiao, the appearance of Gu Xiao wearing a white coat just now, the good smell of Gu Xiao that makes him addicted, the temperature and touch on Gu Xiao's palm...
He never thought that he would sink so deeply, and he felt that he would never come back.
As long as he still likes Gu Xiao, he can't start with anyone.
At this moment, Zhang Siyi's cell phone vibrated, and he didn't know who sent a message. He grabbed it and took a look—
Gu Xiao: "Are you free tomorrow? Take you to practice driving."
