The taxi driver braked and stopped on the side of the road. Huo Mian took out a hundred yuan and threw it to the driver without giving any change, and got out of the car in a hurry.
In the falling snow, Huo Mian stood in front of a dilapidated repair shop, watching the familiar man inside repairing cars in a shabby dress.
"Hurry up, master. I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry."
"Okay, I'll be ready soon."
Huo Mian stood there. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that he would fall like this one day.
Biting her lip, Huo Mian reluctantly said, "Wei Dong."
"Ah?" Hearing someone calling him, Wei Dong subconsciously stood up and turned around.
The moment he saw Huo Mian, his expression changed drastically.
Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Huo Mian, you... why are you here?"
"I was passing by and saw what looked like you, so I came down to take a look."
"Ah, it's cold outside. Stop standing there and come in." Wei Dong was quite enthusiastic.
Invite Huo Mian in. In fact, the inside of this small and shabby repair shop is not much warmer than the outside.
Seeing Wei Dong like this, Huo Mian felt a little sad.
Although we had already heard at the class reunion that his end was quite miserable, but... I didn't expect that when I saw it with my own eyes, I would still feel a little sad.
"Wait for me, I'll finish this, ha."
Huo Mian nodded, then stood aside with Chanel's bag, waiting for him quietly.
In about ten minutes, Wei Dong repaired the car. After collecting the money, he saw the owner off and rushed into the bathroom to wash his hands before coming out.
He was wearing shabby blue work clothes. Compared with the big-name him before, it was completely different and the biggest irony.
"I never thought I could find you here, haha." Wei Dong also joked to himself.
"Wei Dong... you... aren't you selling cars in a 4S store? How could you...?" Huo Mian was a little embarrassed to speak so bluntly.
"Ah... I do sell cars, but the recent economic downturn, price comparisons are sluggish, and our sales are not good. The money alone is not enough to support my life. After my father and my uncle had an accident, all my family's property was lost. After being repossessed, my mother was hit hard and couldn't afford to fall ill. Now she needs a lot of medical expenses every day. I can get at most five or six thousand a month from selling the car. It's not enough for us to rent a house and eat. I rented this place and came here after get off work to continue repairing cars, which can be regarded as a second job.”
Wei Dong spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were extremely sincere. He was no longer as arrogant and high-profile as before.
"Did you just get off work?" Wei Dong looked at Huo Mian.
Huo Mian nodded, "Well, there was a traffic jam, so the taxi driver came to me and took a side road, and I saw your..."
"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, I'll treat you to a meal. It's rare to see an old classmate." Wei Dong took the initiative.
"OK."
When Wei Dong was rich, he never had the chance to have a meal with Huo Mian alone. Now when he was in such a state of poverty, he just said it casually.
He didn't expect Huo Mian to agree, which surprised him.
"What do you want to eat?" Wei Dong asked.
Huo Mian glanced around the snack bar across the street and finally said. "Let's make noodles. I haven't had them for a long time."
"Okay, that noodles tastes good."
In this way, Wei Dong took Huo Mian to a small noodle shop across the street.
The two ordered two bowls of noodles and several plates of side dishes.
Wei Dong looked at Huo Mian and felt filled with emotion. Today, Huo Mian is probably worth over ten billion and is a big shot in the upper class.
As the vice president of the southern district of a top hospital, and her husband is the president of a large group, her good friends are all either rich or noble. A noble man like Su Yu who is difficult for others to reach, I heard that they are all very good friends of Huo Mian. Wei Dong felt that Huo Mian was so far away even if he was sitting in front of him.
"I heard you went to the class reunion a while ago. How was it? Was it fun?" Wei Dong took the initiative to pour a cup of hot tea for Huo Mian and asked casually.
