Chapter 25: The Difficulties of Life
Before returning to Qingchuan, Gu Bei thought about laying the groundwork for opening an Internet café.
The matter of renting an Internet café store has been signed with the landlord a few years ago, and it was Gu's father who signed the contract, and according to the terms negotiated between Gu Bei and the landlord, he signed it for five years, with an annual rent of 78,000, paid once a year, and the price cannot be increased within five years.
The rent price is much higher than the average price of Xinmadao, at that time, Gu's parents didn't understand it and felt that it was not cost-effective, but Gu Bei strongly asked to sign a contract, and he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, and the house price of Xinmadao will definitely rise exponentially in a few years, and now he doesn't let the landlord get a little cheap, how can he agree to sign a five-year contract and can't increase the price?
The computer equipment has paid a deposit, and the business will be decorated as for the decoration of the Internet café, Gu Bei found a famous famous craftsman decoration company in Sha City, the provincial capital, Gu Bei asked to design his own Internet café into a game theme style, and the designer of the famous craftsman decoration company made a real picture of the decoration of the Internet café according to his requirements, and Gu Bei was not satisfied with how to do it at the beginning, after all, the aesthetics of the current interior designer are still limited to this old era.
Gu Bei explained over and over again, telling the designer the layout and style characteristics of the large-scale Internet café in later generations, and only after many modifications did he meet his requirements, and only waited for the New Year's decoration to be completed.
After the Internet café is opened, Zhong Chengshu, an old bird, will personally come to Gu's father and Gu Ma and the second aunt Yu Feng to train, of course, to recruit a few beautiful network managers and Internet café technicians.
All in all, this time I went home to basically solve the work problem of my parents, Gu Bei had less concern, he used to be in Qingchuan, and he wanted his elderly father to drive a motorcycle in the rain on a rainy day, and his heart was heavy, especially not a taste, now this problem has been solved, and after the Lantern Festival, it is time to go to Qingchuan to fight for his career.
Zhao Tuo had already gone to Qingchuan a year ago.
Gu Bei arranged it, this kid wants to mess with him, he also thinks that people like Zhao Tuo may be able to use it that day, of course, on the other hand, because he appreciates Zhao Tuo's character, this kid is a little cynical, but he doesn't pay so much attention to money, and he is more righteous.
After returning to Shilin for so long, Gu Bei has not had a good reunion with his old classmates, and there are only a few days left for the winter vacation, this time he has a class reunion, naturally he can't be absent, the high school reunion at seven o'clock, and Gu Bei called Li Zheng at six o'clock in the afternoon.
After coming back from winter vacation for so long, his brothers haven't sat down properly and talked nonsense, Gu Bei is quite curious about how Li Zheng is studying in Suzhou and Hangzhou: "By the way, what did you study in college?"
"Ethics and philosophy, but you don't even know what your brother is in, and this brother can't deal with it. ”
Gu Bei smiled: "Don't mind, after all, it's hard for me to think that such a vulgar person as you would have a relationship with philosophy, so did Li Dazhe get involved in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"
Li Zheng said in a daze: "People like me still want to pick up girls? ”
"Amazing, the realm of Li Dazhe is high. ”
"Hey, it's not really bragging to you, I have in-depth research in ethics and philosophy, especially good at analyzing the relationship between men and women with philosophical thinking, in my opinion, the root of human love is to tend to be happy and avoid suffering, men tend to bring happiness to themselves women, women tend to bring happiness to themselves men. We must not blame this nature, but in order to avoid disappointment in love, we must first give up the illusion of love, and then we can be invincible and play with women in applause!"
"Incisive. ”
Gu Bei smiled and shook his head, he remembered that a few years after graduating from high school, he talked with Li Zheng in a small town in the south, looking back on the past, he found that Li Zheng at that time was indeed very different from his high school days, and he often had incisive insights on things he was interested in. That is, he finally became a true philosopher.
At that time, Li Zheng opened a tannery in a coastal city as a black-hearted boss, and he was very moisturized, but after three marriages, all of them ended in failure, and finally put his home in the sauna center, and regarded the bustard as his mother-in-law, and when he was lonely, he shouted at his mother-in-law and called his wife over!
Damn, when Li Zheng was stupid, he played the guise of a philosopher, and when he reached the stage of understanding the world, he was keen on making holes.
******
All the way to the north of the city cash cabinet KTV.
Gu Bei and Li Zheng got out of the car and went directly to the box room, a group of rangers gathered together, there were twenty or thirty people in the mixed force composed of men and women, all of whom were old high school classmates of Shilin City No. 7 Middle School, and Li Caiwei, who had a good relationship with Gu Bei, Lu Xiaoqi, a member of the literary and art committee, and Li Yu, the old squad leader.
Most of the male classmates have not changed much, the body size is slightly chubby, and occasionally one or two have changed from the typical thin man to the fat man eye-opening, and the girls have changed quite a lot, compared to the youth of high school, there is a little more feminine charm. The eighteen changes in the female college are true.
Li Caiwei wore a dark blue skirt, sat on the more secluded sofa on the left, and looked at the old classmates crying wolf with the microphone, she had a quiet smile on her pretty face. This girl is like this, not so fond of joining in the fun, but always appreciating the hustle and bustle of old friends with a quiet mind.
"Are you tired of laughing, drink water. Gu Bei sat down and handed a cup of pure water to Li Caiwei.
"There's something chic about your way of greeting. Li Caiwei took the water and said.
"The main thing is that it's too familiar, and everything that needs to be said has been said. Gu Beidao: ""Yes, when are you going to Tsinghua?"
"After the Lantern Festival, what about you?"
"I was about that time. ”
Gu Bei leaned on the sofa and chatted with Li Caiwei without a match, which also attracted the attention of many old classmates, "Solo Singer" is a magazine for high school students and college students across the country, and many people have seen Gu Bei's name in the editor-in-chief column of "Solo Singer" magazine. But who would have thought that the inconspicuous boy in the class back then would become so good? Even now, looking at Gu Bei, whose temperament is becoming more and more calm and obviously more mature than them, some old classmates are also in a trance.
Of course, Gu Bei mixes well in Qingchuan, which inevitably makes some people jealous, but the vast majority of old classmates will not have this kind of thought, more admiration, in addition, since Gu Bei sang a song at the third year of high school, his singing strength has been widely recognized by his old classmates, this time it was not easy to catch him, it is indispensable to let him show his voice, Lu Xiaoqi, a member of the literary and art committee in high school, ran over and handed him the microphone and said: "Come on, editor-in-chief Gu, give my sister a good sound." ”
Gu Bei said: "There are so many people rushing to sing with two microphones, I'll wait for a while." ”
At this time, Li Caiwei whispered: "I haven't heard you sing for a long time." ”
"Then come the song "The Hills". ”
Lu Xiaoqi was dissatisfied: "Okay, okay, Gu Bei, you are really biased!"
Li Caiwei's pretty face flushed slightly.
Gu Bei smiled: "No way, looks determine the treatment." ”
Lu Xiaoqi almost lost her breath.
Gu Bei ordered his eldest brother Li Zongsheng's "Hills", this song only came out in 2013, KTV has no accompaniment at all, Gu Bei doesn't care, many times, we want to sing a song, not to sing this song how good, just because of a certain person in a certain scene and at a certain point in time. At this moment, Gu Bei just wanted to sing "The Hills":
There are many more that I want to say but haven't said yet
I saved it because I wanted to write a song
Let people sing softly and remember faintly
Even if you finally forget it, it's worth it
Maybe I'll have a trickle of thought in my life
Fluke into a river
……
Among Li Zongsheng's many songs, Gu Bei loves this "Hills" the most. After all, if you don't listen to Li Zongsheng when you are young, you won't be confused when you understand.
Gu Bei has always felt that Lao Li's songs are sung to those who have fought the great waves of life and trekked through thousands of mountains and rivers. You think you're listening to a song, but you're actually listening to your own life, in the sunset, under the sail, listening to your soul sing to yourself in your heart.

PS: I've been thinking about the next business plot lately.
I often see readers say that the protagonist is a little unenterprising, in fact, there are two reasons, one is that I hope the protagonist's success is not so fast, I want him to come slowly step by step, and the other is that I am not very familiar with business personally, and I dare not write. Actually, I discovered this shortcoming very early on, and if I could write a good business, the novel would not have been like this for a long time, so I have recently made up for business books.
If there are any good business books, book friends can leave a message to introduce them to me.
