Chapter 38: A Looming Crisis
In the evening, Lin Jiaming took care of Lu Haowan after eating, waited for her to sleep, and called Gu Kai. The two made an appointment to meet at the YOUNG bar. The hospital is not far from the YOUNG bar, Lin Jiaming walked directly, walking slowly, anyway, Gu Kai came over for a while.
In the deep night sky, the stars were bright and shining, and the night wind blew on Lin Jiaming's face, making him feel more relaxed. Lu Haowan's girl can eat and sleep, which means that her body is fine, and her heart that has been hanging can also land.
The vendors on the side of the road shouted at the passers-by. Roasted gluten is 2 yuan a skewer, spicy and refreshing, freshly steamed buns are full of aroma, and fresh fruits are sweet and juicy. Casual people shuttle from stall to stall, stopping to bargain with vendors when they need it.
This is what life looks like, Lin Jiaming thought to himself. He rarely goes out at night, either reading at home or working overtime at the company. It seems that this fireworks world is a parallel world without anything else and nothing to do with it, and even if it is related, it is just that there is something in his world that is insufficient and needs to be replenished.
"Hey~ I said Jiaming, where are you? I've arrived, I haven't seen you?" Maybe he was too greedy for the coolness of the night breeze, Lin Jiaming walked around for a long time, but he forgot to pay attention to the time. It wasn't until Gu Kai's urging call came that he hurried to the YOUNG bar. When it came to YOUNG, Gu Kai was already waiting inside.
"Jiaming, can you rely on a little bit of a spectrum? At such a close distance, I have arrived, and you haven't arrived yet!" Seeing Lin Jiaming walk in, Gu Kai took the lead in attacking.
"Hehe, you can't blame me for this, 'it's all because of this night, it's too crazy'!" Lin Jiaming responded with a hippie smile.
"Get out, drag the lyrics, let me wait for you for so long, go first!" Gu Kai poured a full glass of beer on the quilt in front of Lin Jiaming and handed it to him. Lin Jiaming took it, dried it up, turned the quilt upside down and shook it in front of Gu Kai.
"Satisfied, right? I warn you, I can't drink, and you're going to drink me now, and I won't listen to what you're going to say later. ”
"You have it, I don't know, after the last incident, you went back to secretly practice drinking!" Gu Kai was right, since the last time he was poured down from drinking with someone, Lin Jiaming began to consciously exercise the flow. Brother Yang, the manager of his company, also said that if you want to go your own way in the future, you can't do it without drinking.
"Damn, are you a machine for me, just smear some butter and it's slippery!Isn't there a process!" Lin Jiaming also knew that although he could indeed drink a little more than before, it was not the time when he could compare with Gu Kai's amount of alcohol.
"Seriously, Jiaming, I've negotiated at the hotel. We're ready to start getting ready for business. The deposit was also paid last time, and now that the balance is paid, we are veritable bosses!" Gu Kai refilled Lin Jiaming's quilt with wine, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he spilled the wine.
"Is it 100,000 short of me now?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for your 100,000 here. Gu Kai picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lin Jiaming, and after touching the glass with him, Lin Jiaming took a dry sip again.
"There is 100,000 in this card, you take it!" Lin Jiaming took out a blue bank card from his pocket and handed it to Gu Kai.
"You can, brother, where did you come from?" Gu Kai took the card, he knew in his heart that 100,000 yuan was a huge amount of money for Lin Jiaming now. His monthly salary has only risen from 3,500 at the beginning to 5,000 now, and this money cannot all be salary.
"Half of it is my salary and year-end bonus, and the other is borrowed by the housekeeper!" Lin Jiaming opened a new bottle of beer, filled Gu Kai's cup, and refilled it for himself.
"Jiaming, quit your job and come to the hotel!" Gu Kai muttered after drinking the wine in the quilt.
"The hotel is in charge of you, I'm going, it's easy for two people to conflict with each other, it's not conducive to management." Lin Jiaming smacked his lips, this cold beer was a bit tongue-piercing.
"I'm serious, I can't manage such a big hotel alone. And I plan to go out to run business, cooperate with tour groups or something, and then I won't see anyone all day long. You can't watch it if you don't come to see it!"
"Think about it. I'll give you an answer later!" Regarding resigning to manage the hotel, Lin Jiaming has his own ideas. In terms of eloquence, he is not as good as Gu Kai, this kid has been following his father since he was a child, watching his father deal with various bosses, he has benefited a lot, and even more so in terms of business, compared with Gu Kai, he is a kindergarten student. When it comes to management ability, Lin Jiaming is as blank as paper! He doesn't say much about others, let alone management.
"I know what you're worried about, you don't have to worry, what about me! I will tell you if you have any problems!" Gu Kai picked up the remaining half bottle of wine and wanted to fill it up for Lin Jiaming, but Lin Jiaming pushed him away.
"I have to go to the hospital to take care of Xiaowan at night, I can't drink too much!"
"Oh, that's right!" After speaking, Gu Kai picked up the bottle and drank it directly. I wanted to open another bottle, but was stopped by Lin Jiaming.
"You've drunk, don't drive later. Stay here for the night tonight!"
"It's okay, I just drank this bottle less, I'll go outside for a while, and I'll be fine!"
"That's not good, I know you drink a lot, but this is not a joke!" Seeing that Lin Jiaming's attitude was very resolute, Gu Kai stopped arguing, and said "Okay" in response, and then lowered his head and sandwiched a piece of cold ear silk and fed it to his mouth, and the crispy bones in the pig's ears were bitten by Gu Kai.
Lin Jiaming saw that Gu Kai agreed, and didn't say anything more. After a few beers, I felt empty. Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten for a day today, and every time he cooked a meal, he sent it directly to Lu Haowan, and he didn't care about it at all.
asked the boss for a piece of white rice, and with the appetizers on the table, Lin Jiaming dealt with today's "breakfast".
After eating, Lin Jiaming was worried that Lu Haowan would wake up, so he hurried back, and after telling Gu Kai not to drive, he strode away. Perhaps he was walking too intently, Lin Jiaming didn't notice at all that behind him, a black shadow was gradually approaching him, and along with this shadow, there was a cold light.
GU KAI'S SIDE, AFTER LIN JIAMING WALKED AWAY, HE PICKED UP THE CAR KEY ON THE TABLE AND WALKED OUT OF YOUNG. Despite the fact that when I got into the car, I did some ideological struggles, but I twisted the key.
As soon as he drove out of the two intersections, the red and blue flashes of the siren in front of him startled Gu Kai. As soon as he braked, his entire upper body leaned forward violently under the action of inertia, and his face almost hit the steering wheel. This foot brake almost caused the car behind to chase after him, and he honked his horn vigorously.
Gu Kai wanted to turn around, but after seeing the police in front of him waving to this side and asking for a gesture to move forward, he had to drive forward.
