It was already late at night when I left my quiet home.
There were very few pedestrians on the street, with only the occasional vehicle passing through the wide road. The moonlight and two rows of dim yellow lights blended together, casting a bleak shadow on the leaves of the sycamore trees on the ground.
Lai Yang tucked in his clothes and felt a hint of autumn chill.
He lit a cigarette and walked towards the street with slow steps.
In fact, Tian Jing had already prepared to "give" herself to him, even though she didn't like that way, but she was afraid of disappointing herself...
So she would cry, but she still did it.
Lai Yang should be happy, but when he thought of that tearful face, he felt very uneasy.
In addition, Tian's father's current attitude made their future even more uncertain.
Like the waning moon in the sky covered by clouds, it flickers, worried about gains and losses.
…
I took a taxi back to the entrance of the community. After getting off the taxi, Lai Yang didn’t see the rice noodle stall that he used to see.
The city is foggy and the community is hidden in the mist.
Looking inside, there were only a few lights on one building, flickering and blurry.
Lai Yang didn't go in immediately. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Li Dian, asking him if he was asleep.
After a while, the cell phone rang, followed by Li Dian's slightly hoarse voice.
"Tell me, what happened with President Tian?"
Lai Yang opened his mouth slightly: "Li Yuanba... have you ever learned fortune-telling?"
"Haha~" Li Dian laughed softly: "At this point, if you hadn't quarreled with President Tian, would you have remembered me? Come on, let's get straight to the point."
"Uh~ You're speaking very bluntly now. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
There was silence on the other end for a while. During the silence, Lai Yang realized that Li Dian was too good at hiding his feelings in the past, so he missed many opportunities. Now that he has given it his all, it is normal for him to change.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Actually, calling you has nothing to do with Tian Jing. It's just..."
Lai Yang looked ahead, and at this moment, another light in the house went out.
"I just miss you, how are you doing?"
Bang!
There was a sound of lighting a fire from the other end. Li Dian hissed, then made a "whoosh" sound of puffing smoke and spoke.
"Fortunately, Shengda's mother has recovered from her illness and will be discharged from the hospital in the next two days. Besides, she really went to that bakery, and I am also looking for a job."
"Oh~ then what are you going to do?"
"I'm still researching, but... I went to a famous place in Xi'an today."
"Where?"
"The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps."
Lai Yang took a deep breath and followed Li Dian's words in his mind, recalling the scene of the last time he took Tian Jing there.
Her smile when she looked back made me fall in love with her completely.
After flicking the ash off his cigarette, Lai Yang squatted on the steps beside the gate of the community, looking at the bumpy asphalt road and listening quietly.
"The City That Never Sleeps was recruiting part-time actors, so I went over to take a look," Li Dian continued.
"Oh? Is it an easy job then?"
"He looked OK. I even chatted with a young man who played Li Bai. He was pretty good, but too thin. And the smoky makeup made him look skinny and his lips were pale. He looked like a refugee."
“Hahaha~”
Lai Yang laughed out loud, and a general idea emerged in his mind.
"But he was quite enthusiastic and told me a lot about working in the city that never sleeps."
"So he tried to get you to go?" Lai Yang asked.
"No, we were chatting happily at first, and then I asked about the salary, and he suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds of silence, he rolled his eyes at me."
"Hahaha!"
Laiyang laughed like a goose.
"Then you'd better not go. He's already skinny and bony. He'll probably starve to death if you go..."
After a brief pause, Lai Yang continued.
"Let's just do talk shows. There should be no talk show market in Xi'an. How about this? I'll transfer 50,000 to you later. You can build a team first. We have so much experience, so it will be no problem for us to support you and Heshengda."
Li Dian did not agree immediately, but he did not refuse either.
Lai Yang knew what he was worried about, so he raised his voice and told him that after the National Day shows, the box office revenue was nearly 200,000 yuan, and this money was earned by everyone's hard work.
Moreover, he is now preparing to introduce Gao Yunjian's investment, so he will not be short of money in the near future.
Giving him this money is like opening a branch in Xi'an.
The most important thing is that if he wants to pursue Shengda, he must at least have an income. Otherwise, even if Shengda agrees, his second father and mother will not be at ease.
The cigarette was burned out, and after Lai Yang put out the cigarette butt, Li Dian replied.
"Is Gao Yunjian reliable?"
"… It's okay. He invested, and the shares are under Qianying's name. They are together now."
Li Dian paused for a few seconds and responded.
"You have to be careful with this person. I always feel like... something is weird about him, but I can't put my finger on it."
"What's so strange about that? He just wants to pursue Chiying. His purpose is very clear."
Li Dian said nothing more. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he accepted Lai Yang's suggestion.
, and said that when Laiyang’s funds come in and a new company is established, he must be told the opening date.
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang transferred the money and also paid back the 10,000 yuan owed to his college classmate Hu Xuan.
After he stood up, he stamped his numb legs and feet, and walked towards the community with a somewhat lonely look.
…
Turning on the lights in the room, the room was empty. Looking at the lonely sofa, Lai Yang couldn't help but think of Yuan Shengda again.
When she was around, she always liked to sit on the sofa with her smooth legs crossed and play with her mobile phone.
At that time, I thought she was noisy and annoying, but now I miss her inexplicably.
People always realize the beauty of the past only when they lose something.
But time is like a gurgling stream, flowing silently and never looking back.
…
Lying on the sofa, Lai Yang fell asleep in a short while. When he woke up again, the sunlight had dispelled the darkness in the room.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, one dark and one light.
Within these three days, the total account of the National Day performances has been released.
There are refunds and bad reviews...
But overall, the Boxiao Club has achieved great success.
The total box office totaled more than 184,000.
Moreover, the student team has also gone through a period of trials and tribulations, and now Hou Jun and several other student leaders have stood out.
No matter whether they speak well or badly, at least they can stand on their own.
In addition to these, Laiyang also signed an investment agreement with Gao Yunjian, with Qianying holding the shares on its behalf. It also leased a new office space just a few streets away from the club.
The venue area is about 200 square meters, and the monthly rent is 37,000 yuan. Although the money is not paid by Laiyang, it still hurts.
However, it is indeed difficult to recruit valuable talents without these external things.
Everything went smoothly during these three days. The only bad thing was that Tianjing went to Suzhou after that night.
However, Lai Yang also told Yuan Shengda about the progress of the new company, but he did not tell Yuan Shengda about the whole thing.
…
It was noon. Lai Yang was cleaning the walls of the new company with Song Wen, Li Liangxin and others when he suddenly received a call for a takeaway delivery.
The delivery guy said the security guard wouldn't let him go up, and asked him to go downstairs to get it.
"Young man, why don't you put it downstairs first?" Lai Yang, covered in dust, said while wiping the wall with his head tilted and holding the phone.
"But... the note says that it must be delivered to you."
"ah?"
Lai Yang was quite surprised: "What is that?"
"Taro bubble tea, and a valuable item."
