"Let him in quickly. Thinking of this, Zhou Jingming immediately said, but then he changed his words, "You asked him to wait for me in the security room, and I will pick him up." ”

After speaking, Zhou Jingming hung up the phone and hurriedly walked towards the security room at the door.

Through the glass of the security room, Zhou Jingming could see a familiar figure standing in the guard room from a distance, but compared to before, this figure looked extremely vicissitudes and fatigue.

"Second brother, why don't you notify me in advance when you come, and I can pick you up with the boss. Zhou Jingming said as he pushed open the door of the security room.

But when Xu Weidong turned around, Zhou Jingming was immediately stunned, because the image of Xu Weidong in front of him was very different from the image in Zhou Jingming's memory.

The beard is unshaven, the face is haggard, the clothes on the body are no longer the same as before, the hair is long, and at a glance you know that it has not been repaired for a long time, and the eyes of the whole person are scattered, without the slightest spirit, as if the soul has been drained.

"Boss, you're here. After seeing Zhou Jingming, Xu Weidong just glanced at him, and then immediately lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.

"Come with me to the office first. Zhou Jingming didn't say anything, stepped forward and took Xu Weidong's hand and walked out.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Jingming thought before, something must have happened to Xu Weidong's family, otherwise he would not have come to him like this.

Along the way, neither of them said anything, and Xu Weidong kept his head down the whole time. The two of them came all the way to Zhou Jingming's office, and after Zhou Jingming closed the door, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Xu Weidong.

"Do you want to tell me what's going on?" Zhou Jingming looked at Xu Weidong and said.

Among the four people in the same dormitory, Zhou Jingming, Li Jianguo and Wang Yuanchao are all in Shencheng, and Xu Weidong returned to Guangdong Province after graduation because of his family.

But it is undeniable that the relationship between the four people has always been very good, whether it was at school or after going to work, Li Jianguo and the three of them have always taken good care of Zhou Jingming, so Zhou Jingming has always been very grateful to them.

Xu Weidong turned out to be a teacup, holding it in both hands, he didn't look at Zhou Jingming all the time, he kept dodging, it can be seen that this accident hit him very hard, Zhou Jingming's impression is that Xu Weidong has always been the most heartless of the four, giggling all day long, he has never seen Xu Weidong have such an expression.

"It's okay if you don't want to. Seeing that Xu Weidong hadn't spoken, Zhou Jingming was not reluctant, "I shouldn't have eaten yet." Otherwise, if you don't see if this will work, anyway, the eldest and the third brother are also here, I'll make a call and ask them to come out, let's go out for a meal first, chat while eating, we'll drink and chat with you, do you think it's okay?"

Saying that, Zhou Jingming walked to the phone and was about to dial Wang Yuanchao's phone number, but at this time, Xu Weidong said,

"Boss, our family is bankrupt, and my dad has been arrested. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Weidong slowly raised his head and looked at Zhou Jingming, his eyes were bloodshot.

Zhou Jingming's hand holding the phone stopped in mid-air, he didn't expect that such a big accident happened in Xu Weidong's house, if he guessed correctly, Xu Weidong's family must have been strictly investigated because of the "fallen master" business.

In the seventies and eighties, the culture of "falling down" was prevalent in China, and the state turned a blind eye to it and did not make any severe crackdowns, but in the nineties, the national policy began to tighten and severely crack down on all kinds of smuggling activities, especially the smuggling of cars at Xu Weidong's home, which was a key target.

Xu Weidong's father must have been implicated in this incident and was arrested and imprisoned. According to the severity of this time, coupled with the crime of smuggling cars, Xu Weidong's father will be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison at the lightest punishment, and if it is not done well, it is not impossible to be executed directly.

Zhou Jingming put down the phone, "Let's sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

"When did this happen?" After Xu Weidong sat down, Zhou Jingming continued to ask.

"Last week, a group of police suddenly came to the house and sealed our house, I was still outside, my dad took all the responsibility on his shoulders, and when I got home, all the property was confiscated and my dad was arrested. ”

Xu Weidong paused, took a sip of tea, and suddenly became emotional, "I should have listened to you at the time, let the family stop as soon as possible, otherwise such a thing would not have happened, blame me!"

The first time Zhou Jingming knew that Xu Weidong's family was a professional master, he once persuaded him to stop early, because he knew too well the seriousness of this kind of thing.

But obviously, Xu Weidong did not listen to Zhou Jingming's advice, so there is such a thing as today.

The more Xu Weidong spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he simply hid his face and cried.

Zhou Jingming didn't say much, when this kind of thing happened, no matter how much language he spoke, it would look very pale, with Xu Weidong's temperament, he must have been holding back for a long time, and it would be good for him to let him vent his emotions.

After crying for more than five minutes, Xu Weidong's emotions slowly calmed down.

"I'm sorry to make you see the joke. Xu Weidong wiped the corners of his eyes and lowered his head and said.

"What's so embarrassing about it, who hasn't cried yet. Zhou Jingming paused, "I'll call the boss and them over, tonight, let's get together a few times, do you think it's okay?"

"I look like this......" Xu Weidong looked at himself, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong with your appearance? When I first came to college, I was worse than you are now, and I didn't see you laughing at me, didn't I?" Zhou Jingming walked up to Xu Weidong and hugged him, "Since you came to Shencheng, this place will be your home from now on, you don't have to worry about anything else, just leave it to me." ”

After sending the prepared materials to Zhao Ke, Zhou Jingming told Zhao Ke to shoot the advertisement of the Kirin sedan according to the plan on the materials, and then took Xu Weidong to take a bath, bought a clean set of clothes for him to change into, and then called Li Jianguo and Wang Yuanchao to come out.

On the phone, Zhou Jingming briefly told Li Jianguo and them about Xu Weidong's current situation, and the two of them did not hesitate, and immediately arranged the matter at hand and rushed to Zhou Jingming.

Since graduating in 1983, this is the first time that the four people in the dormitory have gotten together, and it has been six years since they were around.

When the four of them got together, they couldn't help but chat, and Zhou Jingming and the others deliberately avoided talking about Xu Weidong's family.

At the beginning, Xu Weidong could still act as if nothing had happened, but as he drank too much, Xu Weidong, who had been suppressing himself, finally couldn't help it, and the whole person lay on the dinner table and sobbed.

There were chopsticks, wine glasses and wine bottles scattered on the dining table, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and the nearby shops were closing one after another, except for the faint street lights on the road, the rest was dark.

Zhou Jingming, Li Jianguo and Wang Yuanchao just looked at Xu Weidong who was sobbing, how many sad people like Xu Weidong were there in the long dark night?
