Yuan pointed at Alu with a trembling voice, tears welling up in his eyes: "You... say it again?"
Aru covered his face with one hand, his mouth opened and his eyes trembled violently.
"Loud... I, I..."
His voice sounded like broken glass, with a very fragmented feeling.
"I can accept the money going down the drain... I can accept the store closing, but I can't accept you becoming like this after the incident! You really disappoint me... so much!"
Yuan Shengda wiped his tears fiercely, turned around and ran away!
Alu also ran out, shouting "loud voice" over and over again, and the sound echoed in the corridor.
Lai Yang's energy seemed to be suddenly drained away at this moment. He sat listlessly on a wooden chair in the living room, watching the wind blowing the curtains on the balcony.
The afternoon sun shone in, making the glass on the ground sparkle like broken diamonds or tears.
Lai Yang scratched his hair, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart.
It was such a peaceful and ordinary afternoon, why did this happen
While he was distracted, Qianying took out a broom and cleaned the floor, then asked in a low voice, "Master, what should we do now?"
Lai Yang's Adam's apple moved and he let out a long sigh.
"That landlord, can you help me find out where he lives? I want to talk to him."
"Useless master, that old man is very difficult to deal with. You know, our agency is unwilling to cooperate with him, and Aru even hit him. There is no way to renew the lease. Besides..."
Qianying paused and muttered in a low voice, "You reminded Aru again and again at that time, but he still insisted on doing it. I think... he brought it upon himself."
"He brought this upon himself, but the store also invested 100,000 yuan, and that money was hers..."
Lai Yang didn't say the second half, he just reached out and touched his nose, and said tiredly, asking Qianying to find the person.
…
After leaving Alu's house, Lai Yang was not in the mood to do anything else. He took a taxi directly back to the house and lay on the bed to take a nap.
But after tossing and turning for half the afternoon, he still couldn't fall asleep until the sun set outside the window.
As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was filled with images of Yuan Shengda.
Lai Yang thought of her first time coming to Shanghai by train and gave herself a hug with joy. At that time, her eyes were filled with a bright light and she basically had a laughing expression on her face every day.
But now it has become a little bleak,
Nothing seems to interest me.
Lai Yang knew that the root of all this was actually himself. If time could go back, he would never let Yuan Shengda come to Shanghai.
Even, I will stay away from this city!
Thinking of this, Lai Yang felt even worse. He picked up his phone to see if anyone in the group had posted anything, but the group of the Boxiao Club was unusually quiet at this moment.
Instead, Tian Jing sent six unread messages, which were basically question marks.
Lai Yang replied that he was busy and hadn't looked at his phone yet. Half a minute later, Tian Jing replied again.
What's the matter
It's nothing, just a little thing.
Lai Yang didn't want to go into the details, so he changed the subject and asked if Tian Jing was still in the yoga studio and if she could send him a photo of herself doing the splits.
It wasn't that Lai Yang was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he really wanted to see Tian Jing at this moment.
She really has this kind of magic. If Lai Yang himself is like a lonely boat on the sea, then she is equivalent to a warm harbor. Even if he can never anchor, as long as he can see her from afar, he will feel extremely safe.
While waiting for her reply, Lai Yang got up and went to the bathroom to urinate, then took a glass of water and drank it all in big gulps. He walked back to the bed with a dizzy head, sat down and looked at the sunset outside the window.
After being in a daze for a while, Tian Jing replied.
You started recruiting students today, right? The word "splits" has a bad meaning.
After seeing this text, Lai Yang was shocked and realized that the enrollment results should have come out by now.
If enough people sign up, the milk tea shop can just pay for the losses themselves!
But at the same moment, Lai Yang had a bad premonition in his heart.
It’s already this late, and neither Hu Zi nor Director Xia called me
He immediately opened the school-enterprise cooperation group, but it was still empty and there was no message.
Splits, this word suddenly became a spell, making Lai Yang's heart tremble.
He immediately wanted to call Hu Zi, but his fingers paused for a few seconds, and finally he called Director Xia directly.
After ringing for a while, the phone was connected and Director Xia said "Hello" in a very low voice.
Lai Yang swallowed hard, took a deep breath and said, "Director Xia, we have compiled the list of students who have signed up for the class. How many students are there in total?"
"... Xiaoyang, I feel like you guys didn't catch the students' attention when you were promoting your product."
Buzz~
A tinnitus sounded!
Lai Yang stared blankly at the sunset in the sky, which was as red as blood.
"Director Xia, what do you mean?"
"I don't know how you promote it. Usually, other school-enterprise cooperations can recruit hundreds of people, but you... you only have eleven students signed up, and just now two said they wanted to withdraw."
"… "
Laiyang was petrified on the spot. If two out of the eleven students withdrew, the money collected would not even cover half of the cost of 500 sets of textbooks.
Then once the class starts, I will have to pay for everyone's class fees, material fees, etc...
None of this matters. What matters is that I spent 500,000 yuan, and this is the result
As a result, there will be no one performing at the cinema, and the theater will definitely be closed down. Not to mention that the deposit will not be returned, the theater’s hopes will be dashed.
At this moment, the wind coming in through the window was like a blunt knife, cutting fiercely into Lai Yang's bones.
It made him feel dizzy.
There are only two words echoing in my mind: It’s over, it’s over…
"Hello? Where's the guy? Are you listening?"
"Listening..."
Director Xia sighed and consoled him, "It's okay. Registration doesn't end today anyway. You can arrange classes tomorrow. I've vacated a classroom. I'll send a message to the group later. Take care of the first batch of students first and then split. Also... you really need to think about where the problem is. If you can't find the right students, you'll have trouble later."
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang lay limply on the bed like a puddle of mud.
The ceiling began to twist and turn like a Van Gogh painting.
He couldn't understand why the conversion rate was so low when he went to the classroom to promote the product, the students were very enthusiastic and interested.
How should he tell Song Wenyunlu about this situation
How to tell Li Dian
How can I attend class tomorrow
The cell phone suddenly rang again. Lai Yang thought it was Tian Jing calling, but it turned out to be Li Dian.
"Hello, Laiyang?! Did you see if Shengda has returned? Aru said she took a taxi and left in the afternoon. We searched everywhere we could, but we can't get in touch with her now, and her phone is turned off!"
"… "
"Talk? Did you hear me? Laiyang... Laiyang?"
