When Wu Liang flew to Shencheng, it was already evening. The early winter in Shencheng came later than in Jicheng. However, Shencheng is close to the sea and the air is humid, which makes it even more chilly than the dry Jicheng.
After getting off the plane, Wu Liang immediately took a taxi and went straight to the university where Gao Qi and Han Xu had studied - Shanghai University.
Shanghai University is very big. It was already dark at this time, so I couldn't see clearly what the campus scenery was like. However, Shanghai University had so many flowers and plants, it was like a big park, so it was very beautiful.
When Wu Liang walked into Shanghai University, many students had already finished their dinner and were taking a walk on the campus. Most of the students walking on the road were dressed in fashionable clothes and their steps were slow and leisurely, very relaxed and comfortable.
Wu Liang first went around the teaching buildings. Most of the classroom lights were dark. Only a few classrooms were holding elective courses, and they were all easy courses such as Western drama appreciation and business etiquette.
Wu Liang went to the study room again and saw that not many people were studying. In the library, most of the books in the hands of the students who were reading were literature. Many people were reading online novels in the library.
It seems that the academic pressure at Shanghai University is not great.
Wu Liang walked around Shanghai University again and was surprised to find that the supporting entertainment facilities around Shanghai University were extremely rich.
Various restaurants, Internet cafes, bars, coffee shops, cinemas, board game shops, gyms, foot massage parlors, party halls... everything is available, and it is very close to Shanghai University, only 5-10 minutes' walk away.
It was already after eight o'clock in the evening, when business was booming in various shops. Of course, most of the customers were Wu Liang's peers.
Wu Liang searched on his mobile phone, found a 20-year-old store next to Shanghai University, and walked in.
This is a Japanese food shop. The shop is not very big, but it is very warm and gives people the feeling of walking into a late night canteen.
Wu Liang found a seat near the counter and ordered a piece of lobster sushi, a thick egg roll, a cream stew and a bottle of sake.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man with a kind face, who looks to be in his fifties. Hearing that Wu Liang ordered a whole bottle of sake, he reminded Wu Liang with a smile that a bottle of sake is 1800 ml, and all the sake in the store can be pressed. It is sold by the jug. A jug of wine is 200 ml, which is just right for one person to drink.
Wu Liang looked at the boss and smiled and said: "It's better to have a bottle. Drinking alone is too lonely. When you are not busy later, sit down with me and have two drinks."
The boss smiled and nodded, turned around and took out a bottle of sake from the counter, opened it for Wu Liang, and gave him a white bone china wine warmer to help Wu Liang warm a bottle.
As the temperature of the sake slowly increased, the faint aroma of the wine spread out, mixed with the aroma of rice from the kitchen, and Wu Liang's saliva secreted a little faster.
While waiting for the food to be served, Wu Liang thought about the contact information Fan Hongshuang gave him.
Among them, there are three people related to Han Xu. One is Han Xu's college roommate, one is Han Xu's counselor, and the other is Han Xu's monitor in college. It is said that he has a good relationship with Han Xu.
Fan Hongshuang once told Wu Liang on WeChat some information she had found before. Han Xu committed suicide when he was a junior in college.
This man's family background is very good. Company Z, a well-known real estate development company in Shanghai, was founded by Han Xu's father.
It is said that every time Han Xu returns to school during vacation, he is picked up in a luxury car, and there are people who look like secretaries running around, diligently helping Han Xu carry his luggage.
Fan Hongshuang also sent a photo of Han Xu to Wu Liang. The photo should have been taken during the military training of his freshman year. Han Xu in the photo was wearing a camouflage uniform, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His appearance alone could outshine some in the entertainment industry. The popular niche.
A bright smile bloomed on Han Xu's face. The smile reached straight into his eyes, and there was no hint of depression at all.
After Han Xu's accident, the school released all three of his roommates into graduate school. Among them, Jia Ruofei, who had the best relationship with Han Xu, is now studying for a doctorate in business at Shanghai University.
Counselor Dong Min was punished by the school for this matter, left the school, and now works as a civil servant in Shanghai.
Han Xu's squad leader, Hao Xin, got a job in Shanghai after graduating from his undergraduate degree. Now he works as a numerical planner for a well-known game company and earns a considerable salary.
Wu Liang plans to start with Han Xu’s roommate Jia Ruofei.
Calculating the time, Jia Ruofei should be looking for an internship now. The global economy is currently in recession, major companies are laying off employees, and the employment situation is not good. A doctorate in business from Shanghai University is not very valuable. It is best to stay and teach in this school. Unlikely.
Therefore, there are only two general directions for Jia Ruofei's work: either to teach in some ordinary universities or to work in a company.
But judging from today's employment environment, no matter which path you choose, the salary will not be too high, and it is not directly proportional to the time and hard work spent in studying hard for many years.
This is exactly the kind of helplessness that many business Ph.D.s feel today when they are looking for a job. Jia Ruofei must have the same anxiety.
Wu Liang redeemed two trust cards in the system mall and called Jia Ruofei's number.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very noisy. The shouts were mixed with the messy sound of typing on the keyboard. Jia Ruofei should be in an Internet cafe.
"Jia Ruofei?"
"I am, what's the matter?" Jia Ruofei asked lazily.
"I am from the Secretariat of the President's Office of Company Z. Currently there is a vacancy in the Foreign Affairs Department of the President's Office of our company." Wu Liang used a trust card.
"Company Z? The Z company that does real estate in Shanghai?" Jia Ruofei said in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that you are studying for a doctorate in business administration at Shanghai University. Are you going to find a job soon?"
There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone. The noisy sound gradually became quieter and soon became completely quiet.
"Yes, I've been looking for a job recently." Jia Ruofei said in a nervous voice.
"Are you free tomorrow? Why don't we make an appointment to chat? There is another old thing I want to ask you."
"What do you think at noon tomorrow? By the way, what old story are you talking about?" Jia Ruofei asked.
"That incident six years ago, oh, I forgot to mention, our boss's surname is Han." Wu Liang said lightly.
Jia Ruofei on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, where do you think we are meeting?"
"Find a restaurant near your school. You choose the place. Just send me a text message and I'll book a private room."
"OK!"
After Wu Liang hung up the phone, a text message from Jia Ruofei was sent quickly. It was from a Cantonese restaurant next to the school.
Sure enough, as Wu Liang expected, Jia Ruofei agreed to meet.
The wine had warmed up, so Wu Liang poured himself a glass and took a sip. The aroma of the wine lingered softly around his throat, and warmth spread throughout his body.
The boss also brought the three prepared dishes to Wu Liang's table.
Having stayed up all night and been busy all day, Wu Liang was really hungry at this time. In addition, the food cooked by his boss was very delicious. Wu Liang devoured the food and finished it in just fifteen minutes. All the soup from the cream stew was drunk.
The customer's CD is the greatest affirmation of the chef, especially Wu Liang who eats quickly and deliciously.
The boss standing in front of the counter looked at Wu Liang with warmer eyes, smiled and stepped forward to clear away the plates, and gave Wu Liang a large plate of fried peanuts to go with his wine.
Wu Liang drank sake slowly, occasionally throwing two peanuts into his mouth, thinking about how to make an appointment with Han Xu's counselor Dong Min, and Han Xu's monitor Hao Xin.
After three glasses of sake, before I knew it, the store was gradually empty.
Only Wu Liang and his boss were left.
"Boss, let's have a drink together." Wu Liang invited.
The boss nodded, cut a plate of sauced meat, and came over with a wine glass.
After a day's work, a drink of wine really relieves fatigue.
Wu Liang once again praised the boss's craftsmanship. The boss was very happy and told Wu Liang that this small shop had been open for twenty years. The two exchanged cups and cups. Although they were nearly three years apart in age, they had a good conversation. Extremely speculative.
After drinking for three rounds, Wu Liang gradually brought the topic to Shanghai University, then talked about the incident six years ago and asked his boss if he had heard of it.
Unexpectedly, the boss looked regretful and said, "Hey, Han Xu used to come to my place to eat a lot. His favorite food was lobster sushi."
"This young boy who looked so sunny could somehow get stuck in his thoughts and commit suicide by jumping off a building. It's such a pity. If this kid was still alive, he should be married and have children by now."
