Chapter 59: Zhang Xiaoba's Past
Beijing-Central Expressway, towards Zhonghai.
In an Audi with a speed of more than 120 yards, the driver was a big man, bald and covered in tattoos.
In the co-pilot, a simple-looking young man was casually propped up by the window, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
In addition to the faint sound of the Audi engine in the car, there is only the voice of the radio host.
The big man is Zhang Xiaoba, and the young man is Zhao Shanhe.
Two days have passed since Zhao Yongfu was beaten.
Zhao Shanhe arranged Zhao Yongfu and met with the staff of the Municipal Investment Promotion Office again yesterday.
Investing is a front, but things have to be done a little bit thoughtfully. Even if you don't invest in the end, you must make an early attitude, otherwise you will offend people.
The silence in the carriage did not last long, and soon Zhao Shanhe's voice sounded.
"Starling, do you have anything to do with Zhonghai?" asked Zhao Shanhe.
After sending Zhao Yongfu and his wife back the day before yesterday, Zhao Shanhe went to the town to find Zhang Xiaoba, and after chatting a few words, Zhao Shanhe proposed to let Zhang Xiaoba help take care of Zhao Yongfu and his wife.
Zhao Shanhe looked for Zhang Xiaoba, and he felt that Zhang Xiaoba was not simple.
Zhang Xiaoba didn't promise to help him take care of Zhao Yongfu and his wife, and Zhao Shanhe wouldn't be reluctant.
In this world, the most feared thing is reluctance.
Barely to the end, nine times out of ten there will be no good results.
Why didn't Zhao Shanhe find someone else to help take care of Zhao Yongfu and his wife, but instead found Zhang Xiaoba? Because Zhang Xiaoba is not a good person.
Good people may end up as spectators for some reasons, but bad people will not be affected by too many factors.
And, he's still a bad guy with an IQ.
Zhang Xiaoba, who was staring ahead, grinned: "Go do something." ”
"Have you been in Zhonghai before?" Zhao Shanhe asked curiously.
A trace of remembrance flashed in Zhang Xiaoba's eyes: "Stay for a few years." ”
"Oh. From Zhang Xiaoba's tone, Zhao Shanhe can hear that Zhang Xiaoba has a story in Zhonghai.
But the two of them don't know each other very well, and Zhao Shanhe doesn't know whether Zhang Xiaoba's memories in Zhonghai are good or bad, if it's good, it's okay, if it's bad, it's to reveal other people's scars. So after Zhao Shanhe sighed, he didn't speak again to prevent embarrassment.
If Zhang Xiaoba wants to say something, then he will naturally say it.
Zhang Xiaoba's foot on the accelerator loosened a little, and the speed of the car suddenly slowed down.
After pressing down the car window, Zhang Xiaoba lit a cigarette and said in a muffled voice: "Speaking of which, I am also a serious college student. ”
"College student?" Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Xiaoba.
Zhang Xiaoba looks to be thirty-five years old, seven or eight years older than Zhao Shanhe.
According to his age, Zhang Xiaoba must be a college student in the early 90s, which is amazing.
At that time, college students, as long as they worked hard after graduation, would not mix badly. After all, college students at that time were too valuable.
Even after the expansion of university enrollment in 99, in the first few years of the expansion, the three words college students are also extremely popular.
Only after 2010 will the three words of college students not have much value, and they must be graduate students.
Zhang Xiaoba is like this now, a standard gangster.
This great contrast is the reason why Zhao Shanhe interrupted Zhang Xiaoba.
Zhang Xiaoba's surprised attitude towards Zhao Shanhe didn't feel anything wrong, everyone who just knew him was like this when they heard about it.
"Yes, graduated from Jiaotong University. After a pause, Zhang Xiaoba continued: "I met a girl at school, a native of Zhonghai. ”
"Two loves, beating mandarin ducks?" Zhao Shanhe probably guessed the following plot.
Basically, when it comes to these, the plots are very similar.
Especially in the city of Zhonghai, the mother-in-law is extremely realistic.
"Almost, her family is in good condition. Originally, I wanted her to go abroad, but she refused because of me. Later, her mother came to me and told me to persuade her. Zhang Xiaoba seemed to be narrating an ordinary thing, but from his tone, Zhao Shanhe could faintly hear some sadness.
Those who were able to go abroad in the early nineties can't be said to have a good family background. I have to say that it is very good, otherwise how can I have the capital to let my children go abroad.
"Did you persuade her?" and let her go abroad by breaking up?" Zhao Shanhe had already reasoned about the whole thing in his mind.
Zhang Xiaoba spat out a puff of cigarette: "Yes, she didn't want to live or die, so I broke up with her." ”
"Then how did you become like this?" Zhao Shanhe was a little puzzled.
At that time, the college students were still students of Jiaotong University, and they were absolutely the pride of the sky.
No matter where you go, you shouldn't be short of a good job. As a result, Zhang Xiaoba is now a gangster in the town, which is too much of a contrast.
"I want to come to Zhonghai with you this time, I heard that she is coming back. Zhang Xiaoba did not answer Zhao Shanhe's question, but said the reason why he wanted to come to Zhonghai.
Of course, Zhao Shanhe would not ask uninterestingly, it was obvious that there was a story behind, but Zhang Xiaoba didn't want to say it.
A cigarette smoked quickly, and after Zhang Xiaoba threw the cigarette butt out of the window, he did not close the window, but ventilated and dispersed the smell of smoke.
The reason why he smoked in the car was because when he got in the car, Zhao Shanhe smoked with him once. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoba would not have taken the initiative to smoke in Zhao Shanhe's car.
In the car for a while, except for the sound of the radio and the wind in their ears, the two of them fell silent again.
Within a few minutes, Zhang Xiaoba spoke again: "She is still not married. ”
"That's how it is played in TV dramas. After Zhao Shanhe said something in his heart, he quietly waited for Zhang Xiaoba to continue.
As for where Zhang Xiaoba got the news, Zhao Shanhe was not very interested.
It's 2000 now, and mobile phone technology is mature.
When Zhang Xiaoba graduated, BB phones were not a rare thing. It was clear that someone had been in contact with the two of them, acting as an intermediary.
"I just want to take a quiet look at her and then continue back to Surabaya Town. Zhang Xiaoba said.
Zhao Shanhe was quite surprised: "You won't chase her back?"
When chatting with Zhang Xiaoba the day before yesterday, Zhao Shanhe knew that Zhang Xiaoba was still alone.
"Don't chase it, I'm a gangster now, and I don't deserve her. As long as you can look at her from afar, you can do it. Zhang Xiaoba said self-deprecatingly.
When Zhao Shanhe heard this, he fell silent.
Other people's feelings are not something he can talk about. Besides, he is not very familiar with Zhang Xiaoba.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became dull, and since ancient times, this kind of topic has not been a topic to be happy about.
"Haven't you thought about being with her again?" Zhao Shanhe thought for a moment and asked.
Zhang Xiaoba nodded and shook his head: "I often think about it, but the reality is very realistic." Many things are not useful just if you think about them, nor are they effective when you do them. ”
"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but say.
From what Zhang Xiaoba just said, Zhao Shanhe thought of himself in his previous life.
If he had dared to confide his heart earlier in his previous life, maybe the ending between him and Cao Yiqing would not have been like that.
Therefore, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but express his opinion.
Of course, Zhao Shanhe knew very well that Zhang Xiaoba must have suffered some blow, otherwise he would not be so depressed.
Zhang Xiaoba smiled, but his smile was a little bitter: "It's because I tried it that I know how desperate the reality is." ”
"Her family is rich?" Zhao Shanhe asked tentatively.
What can make people feel that the gap is too big is nothing more than family background.
Zhang Xiaoba is a graduate of Jiaotong University, and there must be no problem in terms of academic qualifications.
Although the current appearance is quite vicious, if you keep your hair and cover it with tattoos, you can only say that it is strong.
There is no big problem with academic qualifications and appearances, the only thing that exists is the gap in family background.
Just now Zhang Xiaoba said that the conditions in the girl's house were good, and Zhao Shanhe just thought it was okay. But according to the conversation at this moment, Zhao Shanhe feels that it shouldn't be okay, it should be very good.
Zhang Xiaoba nodded: "There is money, she didn't live in school at that time, and the driver at home drove her to and from school." ”
Zhao Shanhe faintly felt some liver pain, this is simply the plot of the TV series.
If there is a bloody elopement, then you can write a script and let Zhang Xiaoba star.
Zhao Shanhe really wanted to ask how the two of them developed, but he felt that this seemed to be pouring salt on Zhang Xiaoba's wound, so he suppressed his curiosity.
"Just ask whatever you want, I don't have anything. Zhang Xiaoba seemed to know what Zhao Shanhe was thinking in his heart, and said.
Zhao Shanhe was a little embarrassed, usually he was not interested in these things. There's nothing wrong with sitting in the car at this time, and Zhang Xiaoba's story is indeed a bit sultry, otherwise Zhao Shanhe wouldn't have asked those questions at all.
"I don't think you should give up, starling. Feelings are a matter for the two of you. You think it's good for you to give up her and let her go abroad, but in fact you don't know what she feels in her heart. What you do for it, it's just that you do it, not what she wants. You have no idea what she really wants, what is worth pursuing. You think you've fulfilled her, but in fact, you may have hurt her. It's hard to forget when a person really falls in love with someone. ”
Zhao Shanhe thought that he had signed a divorce agreement with Cao Yiqing so happily in his previous life, and he also thought that Cao Yiqing didn't want to pretend with him anymore, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
However, Zhao Shanhe quickly calmed down the emotions in his heart and continued: "In this world, many things depend on people themselves. You should try to give yourself a chance, even if she refuses. At least, you can make yourself die, can't you?"
