Outside the window, Xiao Chi's eyes were still looking in. Unlike Hu Shaofeng, who was laughing wildly with embarrassment on his face, he was calm as if everyone was just catching up with each other.
Lin Jingzhe felt that he must have been hit with evil, so every time they met, he would overcome all kinds of misfortunes.
The flashing light at the back of the car was approaching, and the traffic police also pulled up the siren. The sudden sound made everyone glance at it. Fang Wenhao burped on his chair, and Hu Shaofeng screamed.
Lin Jingzhe sighed, rubbed his face helplessly, and recalled what punishment it was for driving without a license. At this time, a figure was approaching outside the window. Xiao Chi probably saw that his face was embarrassed. He bent down slightly and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No." Lin Jingzhe gave him a sideways glance, he didn't want to, but he still said, "I don't have a driver's license."
Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment.
Hu Shaofeng, who was still scolding and scolding in the same place, was so sharp-eyed that he was still patrolling the streets in the middle of the night. A force suddenly hit his shoulders. He pulled Lin Jingzhe out and pushed him in with a confused look.
Hu Shaofeng fell into the driver's seat with a thud, and Fang Wenhao's drunken hiccups came from behind, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
he:"… "
he:"???"
In the dark of the night, this scene looked a bit like a physical conflict. The traffic police, who was still some distance away, suddenly accelerated the speed, stopped the motorcycle and ran over, stretched out his hand to stop it: "Hey!! Hey!! What are you doing! Stop it all for me!"
Xiao Chi flicked Lin Jingzhe to the back, pointed at Hu Shaofeng in the car door that had not yet closed, and said to the traffic police seriously, "He hit my car."
Hu Shaofeng: "!!!"
Lin Jingzhe: "..."
Fang Wenhao: "Hiccup."
Xiao Chi cast an expressionless gaze at the inside of the car, Hu Shaofeng withdrew his gaze and wiped his face complicatedly: "Ah, I hit it."
"Quack." Fang Wenhao patted him on the shoulder drunkenly, "Stupid."
The traffic police separated the two groups of people, looked back solemnly and glanced at the location where the car hit, and found that it was not serious, and he was relieved.
It's just that the two cars are expensive, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he took out a small notebook and copied the scene while saying: "Who drove the car in front?"
Xiao Chi calmly took the blame: "Me."
"Take out your driver's license!"
Xiao Chi went back to open the off-road door with a good temper. Hu Shaofeng was dumbfounded for a moment, and then stepped out of the car. The traffic police was startled: "What are you doing?!"
"I got my driver's license!"
Hu Shaofeng finished his answer angrily, ran a few steps, opened the door of the off-road cab and turned over the driver's license.
Traffic police: "???"
He also woke up now, and after handing over the driver's license to the traffic police together with Xiao Chi, he returned to his usual hippie smile: "Don't take it seriously, it's all just a joke from my buddies, there's no dispute, we'll just keep it private. "
It was confirmed that the documents were correct and that there were no casualties. The traffic police asked whether these young people were sick, and such expensive cars collided with each other on the road. However, he was also happy to see that major matters were reduced to the smallest, and after hearing Hu Shaofeng say this, he turned his attention to Xiao Chi for consultation.
Xiao Chi nodded slightly: "I have no opinion."
"Okay, then you can solve it yourself, don't block the road, and drive away!"
Xiao Chi gave Hu Shaofeng a look, then glanced behind him, dragged Lin Jingzhe's arm back to the off-road, plugged the co-pilot, and closed the door.
The traffic police stared at them on the spot, and finally gave a key note to Hu Shaofeng who also started the car: "Next time, you must keep a safe distance, your behavior is too dangerous! It's irresponsible to yourself and others!"
"Hey!" Hu Shaofeng saw that his car in front of him actually drove away so casually, the bumper on the car's butt was still shaking, he held the steering wheel bitterly and nodded, "I remember it, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. ."
Then he stepped on the accelerator aggrievedly as the traffic police stared at him with uneasy eyes.
Xiao Chi glanced at the rearview mirror. Hu Shaofeng was not convinced and flashed the lights desperately. He calmly ignored Faxiao's anger and said to Lin Jingzhe, who was resting against the window of the co-pilot, "I'm sorry."
The long silence in the car was finally broken, Lin Jingzhe squinted his eyes, what kind of apology was this?
Xiao Chi looked straight ahead without squinting, Ying Ting's facial features sank under the hazy night, unpredictable.
"Hu Shaofeng is ill. He began to think that Fang Wenhao was driving." Xiao Chi said, "Fang Wenhao's car will be pulled to repair it. You'll get used to it later."
Who the hell wants to get used to neurosis, oh my god, Lin Jingzhe sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly: "Okay, let's stop, his lights are flickering and my eyes hurt."
Xiao Chi frowned and glanced at the rearview mirror, lowered the window, quickly touched the BP machine on the driver's bench, and threw it back.
The flashing lights of the following car stopped, and a voice came from the night wind: "Xiao Chi, I'm fucking you uncle!"
Xiao Chi rolled back the window with a calm expression: "Where are you going? I'll take you off."
Lin Jingzhe: "..."
Lin Jingzhe's head hurt: "... just go to Yan University's School of Finance."
After the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump down, and Hu Shaofeng, who had been following him, also stopped the car exactly. Lin Jingzhe saw that the front windshield had cracked like a spider's web, but these were far from Hu Shaofeng's heartbreaking. The howl of the split lung is amazing.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hu Shaofeng got out of the car while shaking frantically and at the same time he quickly unbuttoned the button of his flower shirt, "Ya spit on me!!!"
Fang Wenhao stumbled and opened the car door and ran out, leaning on him crookedly: "Ouch—"
Lin Jingzhe frowned, and hurriedly went around to the co-pilot to open the door to look for it. Fortunately, the envelope was thrown to the innermost side by the inertia of the impact, and he was safe. He picked it up and closed the door, and heard that there was already a noise there.
Hu Shaofeng asked Xiao Chi, "I didn't drive this car!"
Xiao Chi leaned on the off-road and threw the key: "Did you cause it?"
"..." Hu Shaofeng, covered in vomit, fell into deep self-doubt, "Do you think I'm sick?"
Xiao Chi ignored him and glanced at the file bag in Lin Jingzhe's hand. He took off the beads that were wrapped around his wrist and played with it.
It was very quiet outside the gate of the academy at this o'clock, and only a few students passing by, after seeing the red car with its headlights on and crashing into a mess, they all avoided doing more than one thing.
Lin Jingzhe walked towards Fang Wenhao and said to Hu Shaofeng, "Give it to me."
Hu Shaofeng didn't let go and took a step back. After spitting up, Fang Wenhao lay on his shoulders quietly: "Why?"
"Fang Wenhao doesn't live in the dormitory, just ask Hu Shaofeng to take him home. Just stop the car and we will take it to repair it tomorrow. You can go in." Xiao Chi said afterward.
Lin Jingzhe was a little worried, but he knew that Fang Wenhao and Hu Shaofeng had a small relationship. It seems that the relationship between these two people is not bad enough for Fang Wenhao's life and death. Lin Jingzhe thought for a while: "Then I'll see him tomorrow."
Hu Shaofeng supported Fang Wenhao who had fallen into a coma, Xiao Chi stood up straight and glanced at his watch: "I'll send you off."
"No need." Lin Jingzhe refused and quickly walked towards the door, but Xiao Chi still followed behind.
There are large tracts of greenery and bushes within the walls of the college. It is very quiet after dark. There are a few couples dating on the runway, but the more you go inside, the quieter you get.
Xiao Chi, tall and long-legged, quickly chased after him, stretched out his hands on the back, and the string of Buddhist beads wrapped around Lin Jingzhe's neck like a noose.
Lin Jingzhe grasped the beads, only to find some bumps on the surface of the beads. He turned back and cast a sharp look at this neurotic who couldn't see the mature temperament of the last time we met at the hotel.
Xiao Chi folded the beads twice, pinched his hand naively and poked his face: "I'm not angry anymore, you're so angry now, aren't you?"
Lin Jingzhe was dumbfounded at his righteousness: "Are you angry?! Are you still angry?"
"Ah!" The curls on Xiao Chi's forehead, which had been in shape for a day, fell off a few strands, describing it as somewhat similar to when the two sides first met, "Can you count how much you kicked?"
He has a lot of numbers, and he has gone abroad several times for this foot to see a doctor and take medicine!
"Also!" He raised his hand to show the back of his hand again, "This piece is still green, look."
It was really painful to be pinched at the time!
Lin Jingzhe subconsciously followed his display, but unfortunately in the dark night, he really couldn't see any wounds from those big slender hands, but he did remember that when he shook hands last time, he pinched the other person hard. , so he was speechless: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that this can be considered a clearing of both grievances and grievances. You pinch me and kick me again. You won't suffer, right? Everyone doesn't need to be so murderous." Xiao Chi looked down at him, "and I don't like it either. male."
Lin Jingzhe met his shining eyes in the night, and he was furious: "Do you think I like it? Are you sick?!"
Xiao Chi's face was puzzled, and his silent appearance seemed extremely reliable. Lin Jingzhe finally realized why he and Hu Shaofeng were friends, so he gave up communication and turned away.
There was a thud behind him, and the top of his head shook. Xiao Chi used beads to stop him from leaving. Lin Jingzhe was covered with the quilt for the second time. !
He was hit by a car and a feud, just because he couldn't bear it any longer, he grabbed the Buddha bead and tugged it hard. Grab it, then take a step back, elbow!
The elbow slammed into Xiao Chi's stomach with a muffled sound, Xiao Chi groaned, and while being knocked back, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed him, took two steps back, stepped into the grass, and hit a big tree with his back.
Lin Jingzhe was led and fell into his arms. He smelled the smell of deja vu again, raised his fist and tried to beat him up again, but this time, Xiao Chi quickly stopped him.
Xiao Chi grabbed his wrist and clasped the other arm around his waist. The two were close to each other, stalemate for two seconds.
"what!!!!"
There was a sudden scream from the bushes, and it was quickly cut off as soon as it sounded, and a couple of lovers emerged from it in embarrassment, and their clothes were still a little messy. The girl with a bright face was obviously frightened, and she looked angry after screaming. Her boyfriend was about to condemn Xiao Chi's behavior of not playing cards in accordance with the campus couple's acquiescence agreement.
Four pairs of eyes meet.
Xiao Chi's state instantly became unattainable, and the sharp line of sight he shot was like a sword.
Lin Jingzhe was hugged in his arms, the two sides held hands, and their bodies were close to each other.
Although the two of them had some differences in height, even Lin Jingzhe, who was relatively short, had already broken through the 1.75-meter mark, and looked down at the couple, whose average height was 1.6 meters.
"QAQ, I'm sorry to disturb you." The man who was a little over 1.6 meters scolded in his heart, but he was afraid that he would be beaten for breaking the other party's good deeds. .
Looking at the backs of the pair leaving, Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi fell silent for a while. The smell of gunpowder that had been drawing swords and arrows quietly dissipated. After a delay, Lin Jingzhe broke free.
Xiao Chi took advantage of the situation to let go of him, his indifferent expression collapsed when facing the others, and he sighed while covering the abdomen that was hit by Lin Jingzhe's elbow.
Lin Jingzhe remembered the sentence "I'm sorry to disturb you" just now, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He threw the string of Buddha beads in his hand into Xiao Chi's arms, and pointed to the other side of the road to drive away tiredly: "You hurry up."
Xiao Chi's beating hurt a little. He recalled the thin arm he held in his hand that seemed to be broken when it was broken. He really couldn't imagine where there was room for such great power?
It wasn't that he really couldn't beat Lin Jingzhe, but the nature of the fight back changed, Xiao Chi somehow didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two.
But he was still a little angry when he was beaten again, not to mention that Lin Jingzhe was still so hard, he didn't give face at all, as if he really wanted to beat himself! And the rude little couple just now, they are going out on a date when the lights are almost out! He irritably angered the pair of wild mandarin ducks who had no wink just now, caught the Buddha beads, unfolded them, raised his hand and tossed them, and threw the string of beads onto Lin Jingzhe's neck again.
Lin Jingzhe pointed his finger at the expressionless Lin Jingzhe. He clutched his stomach and left. Before leaving, to express his unhappiness, he said harshly, "You wait."
Watching his back disappear, Lin Jingzhe was completely amused.
He looked up at the moonlight. Is this Mercury retrograde today?
He raised his hand and took off the long string of Buddhist beads around his neck. The small wooden balls were engraved with scriptures as thin as a cold-haired ant at every moment. Lin Jingzhe couldn't understand them well, but he could radiate harmony from the wood. The similar quiet aroma of Chi and the oily pulp that has been played for many years on the top feel that it is of great value.
He shouted: "You forgot something!"
Xiao Chi ignored him, he was angry!
After coming out, he looked at Hu Shaofeng, who was supporting Fang Wenhao, who was smoking a cigarette with his back to the car door.
Hu Shaofeng hurriedly put out the cigarette, and carefully carried Fang Wenhao, who was dead and dead, onto the back seat of the high-chassis off-road vehicle, made him lie on his side, and ran around to the co-pilot himself.
Xiao Chi leaned forward and closed the door he just opened: "Sit back."
Hu Shaofeng was a little afraid that Fang Wenhao would spit on him again, but he also knew the various quirks of his own childhood, so he had to obey. In the mirror, he carefully looked at Xiao Chi's increasingly cold expression.
He didn't dare to talk, and wondered if the other party was really angry. He didn't seem to have it just now, and he was very patient to send Lin Jingzhe to the campus. Could it be that there was a conflict between the two?
All the bad things that night were caused by him. Hu Shaofeng was very guilty and did not dare to ask for proof. His thief's eyes flickered for a long time before he found a breakthrough. He stared at his old friend's rare empty wrist, and said in surprise, "Where did your string of beads go?"
Did it fall off? This can explain the evil fire of the other party. Xiao Chi followed his grandmother to believe in Buddhism. Since childhood, the rosary has been inseparable from his body. It was left by the old man in the family. Xiao Chi didn't even let him touch it because he disliked him smoking.
As soon as this treasure was lost, Xiao Chi's hostility appeared all over his body as if he had escaped the repression. Hu Shaofeng thought about it and became anxious: "Did you lose it? I remember you still brought it with you when you were eating just now. , there are not many people outside at night, we just got off the bus so many times, you quickly turn around and let's go back to find... "
"Shut up." Xiao Chi stopped his chatter, turned the steering wheel in front of his eyes, and drove out the big off-road vehicle with the rear bumper knocked off, which was completely different from his daily temperament. On the bridge of his high nose, "You go to check a company tomorrow, called 'Starting from Real Estate'. Now look at Fang Wenhao. If he vomits again, I will throw the two of you down together."
******
Fang Wenhao appeared on the campus the next day, as if he had no memory of everything after he was drunk, and came to appease Lin Jingzhe: "Don't worry, I have already let that idiot Hu Shaofeng drag it to repair the crashed car. Let him pay!"
Lin Jingzhe looked at his heartless expression of joy, and after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything about him throwing up on Hu Shaofeng.
But he hasn't forgotten about starting a company! After talking about the car, Fang Wenhao shifted his focus and began to wholeheartedly persuade Lin Jingzhe not to be impulsive and rashly participate in the bidding.
Lin Jingzhe agreed with kind words, but turned his head and started to worry. Looking at Fang Wenhao's state, it is obviously impossible to cooperate with him, not to mention that the bunch of smoky shareholders in Fang Wenhao's company have their own thoughts and disputes, and they are not a good person to talk about business. Now that the company is open, Lin Jingzhe There is only one teammate who can cooperate.
The word "starting from real estate" is derived from the metaphor in Lin Jingzhe's name. He has the will to use this company as the starting point for business, and the purpose of his creation is different from when he first applied for the market.
He has a plan for urban planning, but Fang Wenhao's reminder is not unreasonable. The real estate industry, especially the real estate industry in Yan City, is not easy to gain a firm foothold. , Just this part of bidding for the land is enough for Lin Jingzhe to drink a pot.
The most difficult thing to earn at any time is always the first pot of gold. There is a lack of contacts, a lack of connections, and a poor economy. Except for the certainty of the future social development trend, Lin Jingzhe has almost nothing. Although he still has about 3 million funds in the Shanghai stock market, the money is far from enough to acquire land.
Although today's land prices are not as high as tens of billions of dollars in auctions in later generations, the average value is still different from Lin Jingzhe's existing bargaining chips. In the last quarter's Yan City land tender, that is, the tender meeting that made Fang Wenhao return, Fang Wenhao was interested in but did not get the hot land that many opponents were optimistic about, and the final winning bid was as high as Thirty-two million.
After the commercial housing officially entered the market, the price of the land began to skyrocket. The cheapest piece of land in the auction was almost uninterested due to its poor location. There are still people in the industry who estimate that it is worth at least seven million.
Three million seems like a lot, but in reality it's really useless.
At the same time, the string of beads that Xiao Chi left behind also bothered him very much. He originally wanted to get rid of this thing, but because of the rebirth, he was a little wicked and didn't dare to mess around, so he could only take it with him. carry. This string of beads looks simple and heavy, and seems to have a history of many years. Each of the 108 beads is engraved with scriptures that are almost flattened. What's going on? But to say that things are returned to their original owners, I really don't want to meet Xiao Chi.
When he was worried in class, he put his hands in his pockets, and after a few days, he began to unconsciously pinching the beads and pulling them.
Xiao Chi changed the string of Bodhi beads, and felt a little unaccustomed to pinching it. Hu Shaofeng was still efficient, and soon brought back the news—
"Hey, don't tell me, your sense of smell is quite sharp, how did you know about such a company?" Hu Shaofeng turned over the documents in his hand with a look of surprise, "The procedures were done by Dahu's gang, and they went through Fang Wenhao's way. , the legal person Lin Jingzhe? Have you handed in the application materials for the next auction? This is not Fang Wenhao's trick, is it used against us?"
"It starts with real estate..." Xiao Chi chewed the name slowly in his mouth for a while, and changed the hand of the Buddha bead that was not very handy. Fang Wenhao's guess was not without reason, but he somehow felt that it was not very good. possible.
He shook his head: "Probably not."
"It's not like Lin Jingzhe opened it up, how could he be a little kid?" Hu Shaofeng used to judge people by their appearance, because Lin Jingzhe's harmless appearance prejudice was deeply rooted, Xiao Chi said, "You forget the occasion when we first met him. ?"
"Trading room?!" Hu Shaofeng recalled, his expression changed, and he immediately recalled with this reminder.
He clearly remembered that on the opening day of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi made the move almost at the same time, and they both threw huge sums of money without hesitation, and the method was very decisive. At that time, Xiao Chi stayed in the Shanghai market to watch the market for two days. Seeing that the situation was good, he increased capital every day, and finally invested nearly 5 million. If nothing else, at least he earned back the money from the last bid to buy the land. .
Xiao Chi's methods and vision, Hu Shaofeng never dared to question, he knew very well what kind of crazy soul was hidden under his appearance of being young and indifferent to the world, so is it the same for Lin Jingzhe?
He shuddered a little when he thought about it. After all, Lin Jingzhe's innocent appearance that his baby's fat had not faded away was much different from Xiao Chi's calm and calm appearance.
Xiao Chi flipped through the stack of documents and pondered for a moment. Hu Shaofeng thought a lot over there, and managed to calm down his emotions. Then he thought of one more thing: "By the way, have you heard? Qi Kai was finally arrested. His grandfather fished it out and returned to Yanshi yesterday."
Xiao Chi's eyes fell on Lin Jingzhe's ID photo in the corner of the document, and nodded calmly.
The fact that Qi Kai was fished out was not what he expected. After all, Mr. Qi was still alive, so he would be reluctant to let the only seedling in the family squat in prison.
For this single seedling, Mr. Qi gave up a lot of things. It can be said that his vitality was severely damaged. Xiao Chi remembered that when his father mentioned this, he was excited and at the same time, his tone could not hide the regret.
A person who has been formidable for a lifetime has finally been folded on the grandchildren who are incompetent. Even if it is a competitor, it is inevitable to feel a little bit in my heart. After closing the document, Xiao Chi's eyes fell on Hu Shaofeng with a deep voice: "What happens after he returns to Yan City is his business, but if you dare to hang out with him again, don't blame me for not giving face."
"Oops!" Hu Shaofeng remembered his mentality when he was jealous of Qi Kai's "big business", and was very ashamed, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, it's too late to hide from him."
Xiao Chi nodded slightly, leaned into the sofa with his arms supported, and Ba Feng instructed without moving: "Also, get ready, ask Fang Wenhao and... Lin Jingzhe to come out for a meal in the next few days."
Hu Shaofeng's expression changed, and he said a little awkwardly, "Why are you asking them to come out? I had a fight with Fang Wenhao only a few days ago, and she ran to my father and complained that I hit his car."
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves very aggrieved: "My dad beat him so badly—"
Xiao Chi ignored his whining, and just clicked on the document: "Did you open it just now? Did you guess which piece of land was targeted in the qualification application that started with the real estate handover?"
Hu Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, then he patted his thigh and stood up: "Isn't No. 9 on the side of Erzhong Road? In that place that doesn't go to the village or the store, are Fang Wenhao and Lin Jingzhe fools? ?"
"I don't think they are stupid." Xiao Chi lowered his eyes and raised an idea that Hu Shaofeng thought was unlikely, "Maybe they have some news, so let's talk to each other."
********
When Fang Wenhao received the news about the dinner appointment from the BP machine, Lin Jingzhe had already arrived at Wutong University. An hour ago, Zhou Haitang called him and told him a very unexpected news.
Dad Zhou was included in the list of the latest batch of laid-off workers in the Liyun Thermos Bottle Factory.
The Department of Computer Science of Wutong University is a new department, with fewer students and a new dormitory building.
Zhou Haitang was tanned because of the military training, and she was able to compete with Deng Mai. When he saw Lin Jingzhe, he had a rare six gods and no masters: "What should I do? Jingzhe."
Several buddies in the dormitory are comforting him. Laying off work these days is a very serious matter, and the severity has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary students. Everyone sympathizes with him.
Lin Jingzhe calmly patted his shoulder: "When did it happen?"
He was very surprised that Zhou's father would indeed be laid off, but it was definitely not this time in his memory.
"It's been almost a month, and my parents have been hiding it. It's still Deng Mai's father who leaked it." Zhou Haitang remembered the 150 yuan living expenses that her parents regularly remitted every month since she arrived in Yanshi. Guilt almost overwhelmed him, he stroked his hair absentmindedly, unable to calm down at all, he only muttered in his mouth: "Why didn't you tell me..."
Seeing him like this, Gao Sheng had to sigh to help explain.
Zhou's father was laid off a month ago. There was no warning before. When the news came out, the couple completely collapsed. After Zhou's mother was laid off, the Zhou family's economy was almost entirely supported by Zhou's father. This change was tantamount to a disaster for them, but every time they talked to their son on the phone, they still deliberately concealed the news.
As for the reason why he was laid off early, there was a reason. The problem was the money that Zhou's parents borrowed for Zhou Haitang to go to school.
Deng Mai's father said on the phone that Liyun Thermos Bottle Factory had allocated funds to build a welfare distribution room a few years ago, and this year it will be almost ready for distribution. Zhou Haitang's parents have worked in the thermos bottle factory for many years, and they are the oldest of the group. One of the employees is also a dual worker. It can be said that the husband and wife have dedicated their lives to the factory, and the quota is guaranteed.
But there are more monks and less flesh, and there are endless fights. Even the director of the thermos bottle factory has several relatives waiting to be divided. The relationship between Zhou's parents and the factory manager was not very good, so they became the group of people who were subjected to surgery. Zhou's mother was laid off last year, which was arranged by the factory manager to weaken the competitiveness of dual workers.
Zhou's father rushed to the factory director's office to slap the table and made a fuss about this matter, exposing all the shameful thoughts of the factory director's decision. The factory director lost face and wanted to trouble him. However, as a veteran employee, Zhou's father has a deep foundation and has never found an opportunity.
This time, for Zhou Haitang to go to school, Zhou's father borrowed money from several workers in the factory, and he didn't know how it worked, so someone came forward and pointed out that Zhou's father's loan was for the purpose of applying for the stock market.
Previously, the factory arranged for Zhou's father to go to Shanghai on a business trip. After he came back, he also talked with people about the grand occasion he saw when he passed by the stock exchange, which attracted everyone's tsk tsk tsk tsk.
In the early stage of the development of the stock market, many people who did not understand it almost regarded it as a beast. Qunnan also set off a wave of state-owned enterprise workers going to the stock market to speculate in the stock market, so that when many factories heard the workers speculating in the stock market, they thought it was a crooked way and directly. fired.
Zhou's father was almost at a loss for this identification. As soon as the layoff notice came out, he and his wife completely lost all sources of income, and the worker who identified him as a stock trader was also assigned a set of coveted dreams by virtue of the couple's dual-employment quota. House of.
The Zhou family and his wife were in despair, and so did Zhou Haitang. He didn't know until now that his parents had borrowed the tuition and living expenses for him. This amount was almost equal to his father's salary for one year.
It was also the first time to face the darkness of people's hearts. The co-worker who identified his father as a stock trader had a very close relationship with his father before.
Gao Sheng was furious at many of the participants in the incident: "It's really too much!"
After hearing this, Lin Jingzhe didn't have much trouble in his heart. After all, for him, it was only a matter of time before Father Zhou was laid off. The performance of state-owned enterprises is getting worse day by day, even steel and coal mines, not to mention a small factory that produces thermos?
A set of welfare housing of a state-owned enterprise is far away in Liyun. It has no property rights, and even the appreciation of later generations cannot rise to the level of ordinary commercial housing. What is so rare?
Thinking of the fate of Zhou's father after he was laid off in later generations, it might be a good thing to leave that place earlier.
Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother now live in the staff dormitory of the thermos bottle factory. After being laid off, the factory manager quickly followed the procedure to let the couple move out. Now the homeless Zhou family is living in Deng Mai’s house and looking for a house everywhere. .
Zhou Haitang seems to have matured after this incident. He didn't say nonsense about not reading, but called his parents and vowed unequivocally: "I must study hard and not waste the money you borrowed."
Lin Jingzhe looked at the firm light in his eyes and was a little relieved. The Zhou family and his wife on the other end of the phone were obviously relieved. They knew their son's character well, and a large part of the reason why they concealed their layoff was because they were worried about their son. He would be stubborn and impulsive. Now that he was willing to study hard, he felt relieved.
Father Zhou said: "Mom and dad are not as fragile as you think. As long as you study hard, I will help you go to school!"
Zhou Haitang said: "I haven't spent the living expenses you sent me last month, and I will remit it to you tomorrow, Dad, I don't need to give me living expenses in the future. College students here in Yan City can also find jobs, and I will make money myself. of!"
Father Zhou disagreed very much: "It's more important to read your book well than anything else, paying your tuition is not for you to work part-time, don't think about those messy things, don't remit the money to us, we will find work ourselves. ."
He added: "A few days ago, your uncle Gao heard the news and called. He told me that the construction site wages in the provincial capital are very high, sometimes there are 20 to 30 yuan a day. I have already decided that I will leave this weekend with your mother. find him."
The salary of 20 to 30 yuan a day this year is completely super high income. Zhou's father is obviously looking forward to it, but Lin Jingzhe is startled.
He would never remember wrongly. In his last life, Zhou's father died in an accident at the construction site. The steel bars penetrated through his body. Zhou Haitang's hoarse cry penetrated time and space into his ears, and Lin Jingzhe stood up straight.
After the father and son finished chatting, he comforted Zhou Haitang not to think about taking a good rest, and after leaving school, he found the reception room and dialed the phone number he had just written down.
Father Zhou picked it up suspiciously: "Hello?"
"Uncle Zhou, it's me, Jing Zhe."
Father Zhou asked unexpectedly, "Jing Zhe? Didn't you just hang up? What's wrong?"
"Uncle Zhou, can you come to Yan City? You'd better bring your aunt with you."
Father Zhou was a little embarrassed: "You tell Zhou Haitang, we really have no problem, it's better to go to Yan City. How expensive was Li Yun's fare in the past."
Lin Jingzhe lowered his voice and said, "That's right, Uncle Zhou, Haitang is in a bad mood. I'm calling you from outside right now, and there are some things I can't tell you in front of him."
Father Zhou's voice suddenly rose: "What's wrong with him? Doesn't it sound fine on the phone?"
"You'd better bring your aunt to Yan City to persuade him. If there is a problem with the toll, I can call you." Lin Jingzhe tried his best to alarmist, "Don't ask him directly on the phone, I'm afraid he will be stupid. thing."
Zhou's father was frightened, the soldiers were in chaos, and then Zhou's mother's voice alternated and he came from the receiver, full of anxiety: "Jing Zhe, you have to look at him, don't let him mess around! Auntie and uncle are here. Just go buy a ticket!"
Zhou Haitang's stubborn temper is too easy to go to extremes, just like he was so resolute in his previous life to give up his studies and join the gang. This is a stupid child who believes that one path will lead to the black. Obviously, the parents of the Zhou family are well aware of this. There was no doubt about the authenticity of Lin Jingzhe's words. The two of them refused Lin Jingzhe's offer to send money. They only said that they still had money on their body, so they made a phone call. Father Zhou, who was usually very impatient with his son, had already rushed out to buy a bus ticket.
Soothe Zhou's mother's emotions, and assure the other party that he will be optimistic about Zhou Haitang. After Lin Jingzhe hung up the phone, he counted the time.
The Zhou family's parents obviously wouldn't go by plane, so it would take 20 to 30 hours for Li Yun to stop and go on the road in Yanshi. If they leave tonight or tomorrow, Zhou's parents and Zhou's mother will arrive at the latest or the day after tomorrow. .
Many things in this life have changed. Lin Jingzhe is really not sure if Zhou's father who went to work on the construction site early will suffer the accident, but he really has no reason to stop the other party from taking a high-paying job of 20 to 30 yuan a day. .
After all, what can they do if they don't go to the construction site to work? These days, factory work is assigned, and in this simple environment, receiving the old-fashioned education for a lifetime, the Zhou family's parents' compliance has long been etched into their bones. Quiet, not fighting, not robbing, and going with the flow, they will not understand how rich the income of self-employed individuals who are a little bolder and go it alone these days.
Across the phone, Lin Jingzhe couldn't explain it to them even if he tried his best, but the expensive travel expenses made it impossible for the couple to come to Yan City for no reason.
After Lin Jingzhe hung up the phone, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Based on what he just said, he promised that the Zhou family would never dare to call Zhou Haitang to ask about the origin of Zhou Haitang. Therefore, on the way to Yan City, he The two were destined to be frightened for dozens of hours.
Hi-
Lin Jingzhe knocked on the door and the railing with the beads in his hand. He listened to the sound all the way back to the bedroom. He leaned on the door and looked at the back of Zhou Haitang, who was seriously reading a book in the room, and said with guilt in his heart—
Dude, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to be beaten.
