It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night when I returned to Yangcheng, I didn't go home, I went to the night market first, and I left Yangcheng for five or six days, and the rain in Yangcheng had stopped.

"Xuanji, you're back"

Xu Lin was very happy to see me, Xu Lin has sent me a lot of messages in the past few days, and I haven't had time to reply to some of them.

"Just arrived, haven't been home yet, how is business tonight?"

"It's okay, it doesn't make much of a difference"

Xu Lin replied that he has been setting up a stall here for almost three years, and he already has a large number of regular customers, and the business is relatively stable, and the impact will not be great.

"That's good"

"By the way, Xuanji, those students have been coming every day lately, looking for you"

"You don't owe them any money for what you want me to do," I replied.

"Xuanji, don't pretend to be stupid, that girl named Xuanxuan must have taken a fancy to you, you have to seize the opportunity"

"Nonsense, people are college students"

"What's wrong with college students, there are as many college students as rice now, nothing unusual"

Xu Lin pursed his lips, saying that who has not studied in college, although he only studied in a junior college, but it is also a university.

"Too lazy to tell you this"

"Haha, you'll know when you come out of the stall tomorrow, by the way, are there any stories about you going out to run errands these days, tell me?"

"Don't you be afraid to say it?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll go get two bottles of wine, let's have some supper?"

"Get me a drink, don't drink"

I nodded, forget about drinking, I don't like it, it's okay to have a drink.

Xu Lin took a bottle of wine, took a Coke, and got some cooked food from his own marinade stall, we sat down and chatted by ourselves, I talked about the things of the past few days, Xu Lin was very addicted.

"Xuanji, next time that little sister Jin comes, you must introduce me to me, Gu art, it's amazing"

"It's not much better"

"You are a master, it's different, I just want to get to know the master, and when the time comes, I can brag when I go back to my hometown"

"People have nothing to do in Yangcheng, okay, almost, close the stall"

I pouted, Jin Xiaomei's family is going to inherit the tradition, it is estimated that as long as Granny Jin is still there, there will be few opportunities to come out, and there is no chance to come to Yangcheng.

I wanted to help Xu Lin collect the stall, Xu Lin refused, and asked me to go back to rest early, I thought about it, so I went back to rest, and early the next morning, Gu Nian sent me a message and asked me to go to her company.

"Mr. Gu, are you going on a business trip again?"

In the company, I have to call Mr. Gu Nian, and I have to have a little rule.

"No, I don't think I need it before the end of the year, I called you this time to let you participate in the dinner party at night."

"What a dinner"

"The company's dinner, you are the company's consultant, this time I went to Sioux City, I have signed all the contracts, the project team is disbanded, I must have a dinner, it is a team building, you are also a member of the project team, naturally you want to participate"

"But I'm going to set up a stall at night"

I thought about it and said, I don't know a few people at all, and I went to Sioux City together, they are all acquaintances, and it doesn't seem good for me to participate.

"I won't set it up tonight, I have to attend a dinner, you have to be a consultant to our company for a long time, you can't know a colleague."

"This..."

"Xuanji, don't you give this face?"

"Okay, no stall at night"

I saw that Gu Nian looked a little disgusted, and hurriedly agreed.

After I went back, I told Xu Lin that I wouldn't go out of the stall at night, and I would go to him to play when I finished eating, and Xu Lin replied that he was rich and willful to me.

In the evening, I went to the dinner party of Gu Nian's company, and more than 80 people from all over the company participated, and the core was a dozen or so people in the project team, and I was among them, but most of them knew that there was such a colleague as me, after all, I had never been to work.

This kind of dinner has a set of processes, that is, all kinds of publicity, Gu Nian first spoke, saying that the company's efforts in the past six months, what projects have been done, what development will be there, etc., and then let a group of colleagues work hard.

After talking about this, it is to announce some rewards, such as a bonus for the project team or something, and then the heads of various departments will come to toast.

Gu Nian's amount of wine is very good, although everyone comes to toast and she only drinks so much, but she also drinks a lot after a round, and her little face is flushed.

There are also people who ask me to drink, but I can't drink, according to my prediction, I can only drink three beers at most, but I can't get drunk, so I am very embarrassed, and in the end I still think about it and let me out.

The dinner ended in more than an hour, and the employees had a second one, and Gu Nian didn't participate next, because if she was there, the employees wouldn't be able to let go, and it would affect the atmosphere, so Gu Nian never participated in their second event, and I was leaving.

"Xuanji, you don't want any money?"

Gu Nian stuffed me with a red envelope and an envelope, the envelope was my salary, the salary of the business trip, and the red envelope was a project reward, I almost forgot to take it away.

"Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't you want to go back so early and walk with me?"

"Good"

I nodded, and accompanied Gu Nian down the restaurant and walked down the street.

"Xuanji, how did the matter go out last time?"

"Dealt with"

"Don't you tell me about it, I want to hear the story"

"Okay, I said"

I told Xia Wenhai and them again, Gu Nian was very curious about Gu art, and pulled me to listen to the story of Gu art, so I had to tell the master what they told me.

"Gu art is so magical, Xuanji, your Dao technique is still powerful"

"Miss Gu, there's nothing comparable to this, it's people who look at it."

I replied with a smile, there is no distinction between all kinds of calligraphy, there is a distinction between superior and inferior people, no matter how powerful the Taoist technique is, if you don't learn it well, you will definitely not be as good as a Gu master, and it will be the same if you change it back.

"You're right, Xuanji, sometimes I really envy you"

"What do you envy me"

"I envy you children who can be free, unlike me, life is planned by others, my family helped me arrange it when I was very young, study, take interest classes, study again, graduate, enter the company for internship, and then rotate and take over the company, sometimes I feel really tired"

Gu Nian said that her family made a fortune when she was very young, and she was much richer than ordinary people, but for her, it also meant that she had lost her freedom.

Mrs. Gu has high requirements for her, because she showed a high talent at a very young age, no matter what she learned, she was very fast, and the burden was on her shoulders, so her life was arranged early.

"I've only heard of the children of the rivers and lakes, I can't help myself, I haven't heard of freedom, Miss Gu, you don't know how many people envy you, you are born to be the end of other people's lifelong struggles"

I smiled bitterly, Gu Nian is envied, how many people can control a company within a few years of graduation, and they can sign tens of millions of businesses at every turn.

"Then do you envy me?"

"I, I'm a little special, sometimes envious"

I shook my head, my special thing is my background, I am no longer a novice when I first came down the mountain, I know very well what the vast majority of people in society are carrying.

They are burdened with family responsibilities, so they need to make money to buy a house, buy a car, marry a daughter-in-law, and raise their children when the time comes, all of which require money, so they are particularly fortunate.

And I don't have anyone to give me family responsibilities, I don't need to provide for anyone, and I haven't thought about starting a family and starting a business, so I have abandoned these responsibilities, so I only need to support myself, which makes my responsibilities much smaller, and my material needs are much smaller.

"Xuanji, if one day, I abandon all this to go to the rivers and lakes, will you accompany me?"

"Miss Gu, don't be joking?"

"You won't agree?"

"No, the rivers and lakes are not so easy to explore, I don't want you to go"

I shook my head, the rivers and lakes are full of traps, this is not a joke, how long have I been down the mountain, more than half a year, how many dangers have I encountered, Gu Nian doesn't understand anything, how to break into the rivers and lakes.

And the rivers and lakes are not the rivers and lakes in the novel, there is no story of the children of the rivers and lakes happy and hateful, more sad and drinking blood and tears, it is really not as good as imagined.

"Hmph, it's boring, don't go"

"What's wrong, this is?"

"I don't want to go, I'm going back"

I scratched my head, did I say something wrong, Gu Nian was angry?

Gu Nian called her driver, and soon the driver drove over to pick up Gu Nian, and I had to go to Xu Lin's side.

When I arrived, Xu Lin was talking to a girl, it was Xuanxuan, one of the four college students before.

"Brother Xuanji, you're finally back"

"Why are you here?"

"You don't welcome me?"

As soon as Xuanxuan heard this, she was immediately unhappy, has she been coming every day lately, and the person who has been waiting for it is not easy to say this as soon as she opens her mouth?

"No, welcome, welcome, that, I can't speak, don't you mind"

I was embarrassed, what was wrong tonight, all the wrong thing?

"Straight man, hum"

"Xuanji, you talk slowly, I'll be busy first"

Xu Lin laughed, took two smoothies from the stall next to him, and then went to work on himself.

"Scholar Xu Lin"

"Learn from Him"

"You, you're really angry with me"

Xuanxuan was so angry that her little face turned red, shouldn't she, didn't she explain that Xu Lin wanted to say something, didn't she say anything about the difficulty?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, take a bite of smoothie to lower your anger"

"Brother Xuanji, I heard that you saved people a few days ago?"

"Xu Lin told you?"

I asked rhetorically, and subconsciously remembered Xia Wenhai's matter, Xu Lin's mouth is not strict.

"Yes, you're afraid that others will know?"

"That's not what I should do"

"Then you can tell me about it too."

"Don't you already know?"

"People just want to hear from you."

"I..."

I was depressed, what was the difference between what others said and what I said, what was wrong with this.

"Xuanxuan, don't talk about this, or you can analyze what stall is more suitable for me to set up in this night market, the weather has been getting cooler recently, and my previous cold powder business will definitely not be good."

I hurriedly changed the topic, and the weather was indeed much cooler after the thunderstorm a few days ago, the temperature difference between day and night was large, I came out at night to set up a stall, and the impact was even greater, I must have to change a product, and I also told Xu Lin before.
