The old man didn't explain this, but simply said: "You will slowly learn all this later, as for now, it depends on whether you are willing to help me." ”

Meng Zhen took a serious breath, after all, I'm not sure if it's his parents in the photo now, it's not impossible for this strange old man to really lie, and I don't know anything about him, and it's a pity if he just walks away.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhen pursed his lips and replied, "How much do you open here a month?"

"Haha, it's really a young man, let's come in and talk slowly. ”

After that, Mengzhen followed him into the clinic. At the moment he first entered, he felt a sense of comfort, and all his previous suspicions disappeared, why did this happen?

The clinic is not huge, but it is well equipped and clean, which is in stark contrast to the outside environment.

And the old man also sat on the rocking chair and said calmly: "My surname is Guo, you are not interested in what I call it, do you have a different feeling as soon as you enter the house?"

"yes. Mengzhen nodded sluggishly.

"It was the same when I was your age. ”

"You went with me?"

"Hmph, almost, they are all orphans, but one thing I am different from you, I have seen my parents, when I was five years old, there was a famine, they starved to death, and then I was saved by a strange person, until ten years ago, that strange person also completely left me, I opened a clinic here, said it was a clinic, in fact, it is called a dream house, to put it more simply, it is to help others realize their dreams, and the person who saved me is the same. Speaking of this, Guo Lao's tone began to become a little choked.

"In other words, you're just helping others, and it's no different from some of the service industries today. Dream really said with a little disdain.

"You are not wrong to say this, because this is a transaction, we help, then the person being helped has to give, at that time anything was fine, food, clothing, now they are all in RMB, the society is developing too fast, I, the old man, will soon not be able to keep up, or rely on you young people. ”

Meng Zhen scratched his head suspiciously and asked, "So, are you looking for the heir to this job?"

"Looks like you're not stupid. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhen immediately got up and grabbed his backpack and walked out, for him, it was nonsense to be in this small clinic without any future, to help others realize any dreams. Besides, in such a remote place, where can there be people, plus it is written outside or a psychological clinic, how can there be patients in such a ghost place?

Seeing that the dream was really going out, Old Man Guo had no intention of stopping him. At this time, a middle-aged man panting suddenly ran in, completely ignoring Meng Zhen, and directly knocked him aside, and then stopped in front of Old Man Guo and tried to say calmly: "Master Guo, I'm sorry to trouble you again." ”

"Sit down and talk slowly. Old man Guo smiled innocently and motioned for him to sit in front of him.

Mengzhen hadn't come to his senses yet, everything happened very quickly, and before he could reason with that person, that person had already started chatting with Guo Lao.

"Is there really a business?" he muttered quietly.

Judging from the conversation, Mengzhen found that this person was very familiar with Guo Lao, and this time he wanted to ask Guo Lao to persuade his son not to be a soldier, and he didn't want to be separated from his son for too long.

Meng Zhen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and sighed in a low voice: "This thing can also be called a dream, what do these people think, their brains are broken?"

The laughter reached Guo Lao and them, and the middle-aged man looked at Meng Zhen with a little confusion and asked, "Who is this little brat, why don't you leave?"

"Who's a little kid, no matter how small, he's older than your son. "Dream is really unconvinced.

Guo Lao was very calm, and persuaded with a smile: "Oh, don't make any noise, he will work here for me in the future." ”

"Just him, where does he deserve this kind of work?"

"I'm too old to walk, so I'm going to have to find a helper. ”

Meng Zhen refused: "Why do I work here, I didn't agree, besides, the nurse said before that you didn't sleep at eleven o'clock in the hospital, can the old man's body be made like this?"

Guo Lao sighed steadily, and continued to say to the man: "Okay, let's ignore him for now, let's talk about your son's recent state." ”

The man began to talk seriously about his son's situation, and Meng Zhen just listened to it, and heard that they talked about cooperation and signed an agreement, and the man frowned at Mengzhen when he left, with a displeased look.

After the man left, Mengzhen looked at Guo Lao with his hands on his chest, and asked very puzzled: "So your job is to go to his house and help him convince his son?"

Guo Lao took a sip of freshly brewed hot tea very casually, nodded and replied, "Well, that's it." ”

"No, can this be called a dream? Oh, he came all the way and asked you to convince his son, why can't he convince himself? What about his daughter-in-law? What about his family? They all do nothing like him, and they all ask you to solve every little thing?"

"Son, what is a dream first?"

"Isn't a dream something you want to do but can't do right now?"

"Oh, you young people, maybe for you the dream is to make a lot of money, open a big company or something, it's too vulgar, I asked the same question at the beginning, what is a dream, and then I found out that dreams are just some very small things, because what I do is some very ordinary things, just like just now, just to persuade a child, but what is the meaning behind this, is that his father can often be by his side, as for why your family didn't go to help, he and his son are the only ones left in his family, if the son goes to the army, then this family will become very lonely, lonely, I don't want to understand those big truthsAnyway, I know that it is enough to make them happy. ”

"And how much does this kind of work cost?"

"Like just now, I can do without charging, after all, as you said, wouldn't it be a joke to charge for such a small thing. Guo Lao laughed innocently again.

"Then you have to eat! Anyway, it's a waste of your saliva, just because he's your old customer, so you're selling face?"

"Eh, you can't say that, if you want to charge, you go and talk to him, if the negotiation is completed, the money will be all yours, how about it?"

Meng Zhen was a little overwhelmed, but he quickly thought of a way to not lose face, but also to get money, and then asked, "Where does that person live?"

Guo Lao couldn't help laughing and said, "You really want to go, you have already paid the money, and online transactions are really convenient." ”

"Damn, you really charge money for this job. Yumejin asked in surprise.

"Your attitude has changed quite quickly, you were not happy when you confiscated the money, and you blamed me when you received the money, I really can't figure you out. ”

"How much did you collect?"

"The deal is not spread, and when it is six o'clock in the evening, I will go to his house to see his son, do you want to come with me?"

"Cut, I'm not interested. Mengzhen said nonchalantly.

At six o'clock in the evening, Guo Lao and Mengzhen came to a villa area around the lake in the suburbs, but they didn't expect that this middle-aged man was still a small boss, and the family had a little capital, Mengzhen looked at the villas around him with envy, and sighed in his heart that he might not be able to afford such a house in his life.

"Looks like that guy is still a big boss. ”

Guo Laoqian laughed, and then greeted the familiar doorman.

"They know you?"

"They were also my customers. ”

"I can't imagine that your business development is okay, so why are you still staying in that remote clinic? With such a wide range of customer development, the income should be good, at least you can open a store around the city." ”

Guo Lao sighed: "It's not okay to be old, I can't do it for long anyway, today this time I will take you to learn, and the dream you have to face in the future is not so simple." ”

"I didn't say I would follow you. Mengzhen pouted.

"Then why did you come along? ”

"I'm—" Meng Zhen paused, not knowing how to explain, "Oh, okay, okay, since I have an errand that can make money, I'll just do it." ”

Guo Lao smiled and shook his head. After coming to that person's house, even the nanny greeted Guo Lao warmly. All this was seen by Mengzhen, and he felt that all his previous doubts about Guo Lao were wrong.

Taking advantage of Guo Lao's conversation with his son, Mengzhen called the person aside and asked softly, "Sir, what kind of person do you think Guo Lao is?"

"Respectable. He said without hesitation.

"But you asked him for help just to convince your son, can this also be considered a profession?"

"This has nothing to do with the profession, I heard others talk about Master Guo when I first started my business, and I feel that he is a person who has experienced everything, and he can see what you think in your heart. ”

"But he's a psychiatric clinic there. ”

"Yes, but for all of us, it is a home full of dreams, I also admit that this kind of thing is not a dream, but I feel that Master Guo is out of the horse, his heart is much more steady, and the hanging stone is also put down, maybe this is the feeling after realizing the dream, isn't the dream used to realize, as long as you can feel happy after success, it can be called a dream, there is no other explanation. ”

After hearing this, Meng Zhen found that his previous thoughts were indeed very simple, but after being nervous for a moment, he still mustered up the courage to ask: "That, let Master Guo come over to do this, how much did you pay." ”

"Hmph, Guo Lao must have told you that this is a transaction, although I can't say the exact number, but it's only one dollar more than four hundred and ninety-nine. ”

"Five hundred? Just persuade a person to collect five hundred? This money is too easy to earn, I only earn a few dollars by delivering a takeaway, or people will make money." Dream replied incredulously.

"Actually, this time Master Guo didn't want to charge me, but I didn't want Master Guo to come to me so tired and didn't get anything in the end, I'm not that kind of person, just give me some money, it's nothing. ”

This sentence made Mengzhen very envious and jealous, only rich people pay like this, and spend a few hundred to let the family come over and say a few words.

After talking for more than half an hour, Guo Lao's side finished the matter relatively smoothly and successfully persuaded his son, but he also agreed to a condition, as for what conditions, Mengzhen didn't hear clearly, and the middle-aged man was also very satisfied with his son after hearing it.

Back at the clinic again, Guo Lao sat peacefully in the rocking chair and read today's newspaper. And Meng Zhen stood at the door, looking at the starry sky at night, his mind was full of the conversation just now, after thinking twice, he turned to Guo Lao and said, "I have decided, I will work with you." ”

"Completely figured it out?" said Guo Lao as he looked at the newspaper intently.

"Well, I figured it out, anyway, it's all about making money, and I can meet more people, which is also a rare opportunity for me. ”

"Now that you've figured it out. Guo Lao put the newspaper on his desk, then took out a file bag, and advised: "Open it after you go back today to see the contents inside." ”

"Oh. Meng Zhen took the file bag with both hands and put it in his backpack.

"Okay, since you've decided, then I'll also say something from my heart, this is what the person who saved me told me, he said don't take this as a profession, take it as a faith, no matter what, our purpose is to help others, there may be people who dream very strangely, but as long as they don't touch the sin, it's understandable, anyway, I don't know which generation of people who do this kind of work from, because the person who saved me doesn't know, he, like us, was chosen, you are the next generation I chose, but you have to work hard, don't be ruined in your hands, it's not easy for me to persist until now。 ”

Mengzhen nodded, and before he could say anything, Guo Lao continued: "I know what your biggest dream is at the moment, which is to open your own company in the commercial street of the city. ”

"How do you know?" Meng Zhen asked curiously, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be those people who secretly took pictures, and you must have known about choosing an heir on the street." ”

"Not to mention those who take pictures secretly, anyway, I only know that every time you deliver food through the commercial street, that kind of look is different from usual, of course, I can't help you complete your dreams, after all, your dreams also have to rely on your own efforts, and when it comes to this time of the old and the new, I only need to complete the last thing to retire. Guo Lao said with great satisfaction.

"What's the matter? ”

"Don't talk about it, let's go home first, it's not too early. ”

Mengzhen said very naughtily: "Oh, this is your fault, how can you talk halfway, isn't this hanging my appetite, what is it?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow. ”

"Cut, if you don't say it, you won't say it. After saying that, Mengzhen left the clinic with his bag on his back and humming a little song.

After Mengzhen walked away, Guo Lao took out a photo frame from the drawer on the bottom floor of the desk, and the photo showed an old woman, sitting in front of the door of a bungalow and looking at this in the distance. He gently dusted the frame with his hand, and finally placed it in a cardboard box in the corner.
