Chapter 414: Life Is Far From Being So Peaceful as It Seems on the Surface (Second Update)
"What to withdraw, I finally came over once, let's go, have a drink with my brother, I have something to find you!"
Steve saw that Lin Zitan was about to leave, and hurriedly said.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Zitan frowned and glanced at the corridor inside, but didn't see Wu Junhao and them coming out, so he followed Steve to the office on the other side.
Xiao An saw that the boss probably had something to talk about with Steve, so he found a high stool at the bar and sat down.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jason said enthusiastically.
"Is there ice water?" Xiao An knew about Jason and Steve, so he said with a blank face.
"Tap water with ice, the tube is full~"
Jason said, taking a mug from the shelf behind him, scooping a spoonful of ice with an ice spatula, opening the faucet and taking a full cup and handing it to him.
"Thank you~" Xiao An took out a $5 bill from his pocket and stuffed it into the tip box in front of Jason.
"You're as polite as your boss~" Jason rolled his eyes, he really didn't have much to say about this kind of straight man.
Lin Zitan followed Steve into his office, which was all decorated in dark black style as before, and the cold tone made people instantly feel that Steve sitting here was the real black power.
"I'm not afraid of them, these guys just came to me to find a sense of existence, since that's the case, let them find it, as long as they are willing to spend money~"
Steve said as he pulled a cigarette out of his drawer and lit it, taking a puff and slowly spitting out a circle.
"Aren't you making money and have no bottom line?" Lin Zi teased.
"If you have a bottom line, you can make money? Look at those ordinary people, who can't bend their waists for money! Anyway, it doesn't matter how many times my old waist is broken. Steve said with a gloomy face.
"How many men are old, this is not like you!" Lin Zitan wondered.
"Knock knock~" At this time, the door was suddenly knocked twice, and before Lin Zi, who was sitting outside, got up and opened the door, the door had been pushed open from the outside.
"Excuse me, I've made two glasses of martini for you, try it~"
Jason came in with a tray, elegantly placed two glasses of wine in front of them, nodded slightly, and went out.
"VIP treatment~" Lin Zitan raised Yang towards Steve with a wine glass.
"If you open a bar, you will have this kind of treatment every day, but now I suddenly feel tired~" Steve continued Lin Zitan's words just now.
"Why?" Lin Zi wondered.
In the past, when Lin Zitan wanted to make any investment, he also asked Steve, but every time he seemed a little hesitant, so Lin Zitan did not continue to come to him again.
"I'm tired of living this life of only night and no day!" Steve sighed and continued.
"You see Jason's pale face, this kid has been with me for so many years, going to the operating table during the day and bartending at night, in fact, he either likes to be a bartender, or simply wants to be by my side.
I used to feel that it was still early, just like you said, I never admit that I am old, not to mention that my body is stronger than the average man in his twenties and thirties!
But since I experienced this epidemic, I suddenly wanted to change, this life is very long, and it is really short, except for Jason's father who passed away in the epidemic, several of my father's old friends also died during this epidemic.
Some have never even gone back after they came out, and their only long-cherished wish is that future generations will be able to bring their ashes back. ”
After Steve's finished speaking, he raised his right hand and cheered his very neatly trimmed inch, then raised his left hand and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
"To be honest, these things are not involved in our generation at all, if you really want to go back, it should be fine, right?" Lin Zi asked after a moment's hesitation.
"Who knows! My dad is also in his last years now, if my mother is alive, I don't worry, if I have any brothers and sisters, I won't live like this in recent years, but I've been trapped here for too long, so ......
Jason and I planned that when he had a long vacation, we would go around the world, and the last stop would be to return to China, and it would be best if we could enter the customs, and it would be good to go around the airport if we couldn't get in, and I made a long-cherished wish for the old man. ”
----------------
When Lin Zitan left from Steve's KTV, he heard Xiao An say that Wu Junhao didn't make any other moves in their box except for coming out to ask for two drinks, but on the way back, Lin Zitan was more or less full of thoughts.
In recent years, there have been more and more Chinese wandering overseas, according to statistics, there are 55 million people in the world who make a living overseas, and there are 4.5 million Chinese in the United States alone.
It's like a siege, many people want to come out, and those who come out want to go back.
But I don't know how many people can't go back after they come out, and some people make mistakes themselves, and they will affect future generations;
Some people do not hesitate to sell their conscience in order to survive, and some people are unwilling to go back for so many years without achieving anything.
During his years in the United States, he has experienced too much, in order to gain a foothold, in order to grasp his destiny, Hongrong Freight, Internet companies, supermarkets and real estate companies.
All of this has gone through a lot of ups and downs and setbacks, and over the years, there are only a few of them in our hands.
Although the instant noodle shop has been quite successful, the pressure on the boutique has doubled after several months of losses, and the low-rent housing and commercial buildings are not as easy as initially thought.
The supermarket tore up with Wu Yang and the others this time, no matter what, he had to stick to it, his new cooperation with Joseph still had to be run-in, and his charity had just started, in fact, his life was far from being as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
"Jingle bell~" Seeing that two more traffic lights were about to go downstairs to their house, Lin Zitan's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Through the faint light of the street lamp outside the window, Lin Zitan found the location of the mobile phone from his handbag, picked it up and looked at it, and quickly picked it up.
"Hey~" Lin Zitan's deep voice sounded in the carriage.
"What? Did you get to the hospital? We ...... Even if we buy a plane ticket tonight, we will not be able to arrive at this time the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
What the hell is going on? Isn't grandpa always very good? Why is it all of a sudden? hiss~ I know, okay, I'll do it as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zitan's originally not so beautiful mood became even more depressed at the moment.
Grandma Lin called and said that Grandpa Lin was suddenly hospitalized, and the crying was shocking, but she couldn't tell what the reason was.
Thinking of what Zhang Jinglin told him about Lin Musen's situation before he left last time, it is not difficult to imagine how traumatized the old man was because of Lin Musen's divorce.
Although Lin Zi would call back every once in a while, he didn't expect to face life and death again so soon.
Grandpa Lin will be 91 years old in a few months, this age is actually very good, but Lin Zitan still blames himself, he and his grandfather have not met a few times in so many years, and the last time they met was at their wedding.
After returning home, Lin Zitan talked to EA a little, and immediately went into the study to book a plane ticket, he didn't expect everything to come in such a hurry, and originally thought that he would take the children back to visit them during the summer vacation!
"Then I'll go back with the kids......" Ea followed him into the study, looking a little emotional.
"That's the best, anyway, the school curriculum has been learned by the children, tomorrow morning I will give them two weeks off from school, if it's okay over there, you and Xiao An will bring them back together." ”
Lin Zitan raised his head and gratefully glanced at his lover who knew him best, and he quickly turned on the computer and logged in to the homepage of Airchina.
