Chapter 20: The Swan Song

Gu Bei knew that Tian Tian was looking for her, but Tian Tian didn't say anything, so he didn't want to ask.

Since returning from Qingchuan City, Gu Bei has never contacted Tian Tian, not to escape, on the night of returning to Shilin City, Tian Tian showed him his heart, he was a little moved, but he expressed his attitude with silence. He thought that Tian Tian, who was smart about ice and snow, should understand.

Every man will miss many girls in his life, and most of this happens in his youth, if Li Caiwei is Gu Bei's unreachable crush in high school, and Xia Nuo, who is far away in Qingchuan City, is his first love that he can't give up, then Tian Tian is the little girl who accompanied him through his childhood.

For such a girl, he can't say that he doesn't like it, but he has lost the meaning of liking, not because of Tian Tian's reality, and not because of her mother Ma Li's philistine, so why? Because he is no longer the original him, Tian Tian is no longer the original Tian Tian, just like the night he returned to Shilin City, Tian Tian said: Many beautiful things, you think it is just the first warm-up of life, in fact, it is the swan song of life, if you lose that person, you will never be able to get back the original taste.

Gu Bei can no longer find the original taste in Tian Tian's body, he no longer has any illusions about Tian Tian, but even so, he is still willing to treat her as a friend, so Tian Tian is in a bad mood and asks him to go out for a walk, he didn't say anything, and walked side by side with Tian Tian through the cigarette factory staff compound in the smoke and rain with an umbrella.

The rain in early spring was very small, like a needle, with a chill, the sky above the staff compound of the cigarette factory was gray, and when passing by the staff building, he met some laid-off employees, Gu Bei found that they stared at Tian Tian with the kind of flattering smile in their eyes, but hatred and hatred!

This is nothing, who called Tian Tian is Tian Jianjun's daughter, Tian Jianjun smashed other people's jobs, it is normal for others to hate your daughter, and no one knows except Gu Bei, after the reorganization of the cigarette factory is completed this summer, most of the old factories here will be shelved and suspended, half of the workers roll up and roll calves, and then there was a sensation in the stone forest 7.17 Wuling trouble, on July 7, 2002, nearly 100 workers of the stone forest cigarette factory went to Wuling Square to assemble and make trouble, impacting the municipal government!

Thinking of this, Gu Bei couldn't help but sigh, and only hoped to persuade his mother to open an Internet café as soon as possible.

"What are you thinking?" Tian Tian noticed Gu Bei's strange appearance and turned his head to stare at him.

"Oh, I'm thinking about the layoffs in our factory. ”

"Then you know about your mother's layoff, right?"

Gu Bei nodded: "I know, but it doesn't matter." ”

Gu Bei's reaction made Tian Tian a little surprised, his mother was laid off, how could Gu Bei still be like no one, but she should always be a delicate girl, and immediately thought that the current Gu Bei didn't look down on the salary that Aunt Li received at work, maybe it was better for him to stay at home and enjoy life after his mother was laid off.

Thinking about it like this, Tian Tian was not so apologetic, but he always felt that he couldn't go, after all, Gu's mother was laid off because of her, but she didn't know how to speak, this sane girl was rarely entangled, and after a long time, she whispered: "Xiaobei, I'm sorry." ”

"If it's okay, don't think about it. Gu Bei smiled, in fact, his mother Li Yuling's layoff had long been expected by him, in his impression, his mother was only laid off in the summer of 2002, and now it is half a year ahead of schedule, he knows that it is because of his own reasons, he knows that it is Ma Li who is waiting for the opportunity to retaliate, that crazy woman hates herself, but what is the big deal?

In 2001, like Gu Bei's mother Li Yuling, working in a cigarette factory for a month was only seven or eight hundred wages, what is there to remember about this thing? So Gu Bei really wants to thank Ma Li, if Ma Li hadn't been in a hurry to open her mother, I don't know when my mother would agree to the plan to open an Internet café.

Tian Tian didn't know that Gu Bei was in such a state of mind, and pursed his lips and said: "Xiaobei, this matter was caused by me, I know you may not care so much, but I'm still sorry, I don't want to be like this." ”

"I know, don't take it personally. ”

Tian Tian pursed his lips and laughed: "Then I'll go home first." ”

Gu Bei nodded: "I'll send you." ”

"No, I want to walk around alone. Tian Tian waved her hand, turned to leave, and walked around the corner, the rain drenched her hair, and water droplets flowed down her slightly messy sideburns, sliding quickly on her face, a wild beauty flashed on her body, but quickly disappeared from Gu Bei's gaze.

Gu Bei retracted his gaze and went home.

When I got home, my mother had already cooked a meal, and when she saw Gu Bei entering the door, she asked, "You're back so soon?"

Gu Bei grabbed a piece of braised pork from the bowl and threw it into his mouth: "Otherwise?"

Gu's mother slapped Gu Bei's hand: "What's the matter with you and Xiao Tian?"

"What's going on? Ordinary friend, Xiao Tian came to me because you were laid off, and she was a little upset. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that. ”

"Coax the ghost to go. ”

"Mom, you're not a ghost, you're a fairy!"

"Stinky boy, flamboy, flamboyant tongue all day long, go wash your hands and eat. Gu's mother touched Gu Bei's head with a happy face, at this time Gu's father Gu Chengming pushed the door in, it was raining today, he didn't bring an umbrella, he was soaked, and his face was tired, which made Gu Bei feel that the matter of opening an Internet café must be put on the agenda quickly, Dad is so old, it is really inappropriate to drive a motorcycle to solicit customers in the wind and rain every day.

During the meal, Gu Bei once again mentioned the matter of opening an Internet café: "Mom, how have you thought about opening an Internet café? Now that you have been laid off, you don't have to think about it." ”

"Alas, who knows, I have been a national worker all my life, how can I say that if I am laid off, I will be laid off, and I have a good son like you who has the ability to make money, and we are not uncommon! But many workers in the factory are really miserable, and they have no preparation, so they are laid off, and they can only go out to set up stalls and distribute leaflets. ”

Speaking of layoffs, Gu's mother was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but bury it, if it was placed in the past, laid-off would be a bolt from the blue for their family, but fortunately, now Gu Bei can make a lot of money, and he will give her 500,000 pocket money, which can't be earned back for a lifetime, so Gu's mother is relieved.

"The current national policy is like this, the market economy, survival of the fittest, the efficiency of the factory is not good, and you want to hold the iron rice bowl for a lifetime, so there is such a good thing? You still want to think about what to do in the future. Gu Chengming sandwiched a chopstick dish: "Gu Bei has been talking about opening an Internet café, you can consider it." ”

Gu's mother said: "Open an Internet café and open an Internet café, Gu Bei is going to go to school after the New Year, you and I don't know how to use computers, how can you open an Internet café?"

Although the wave of Internet cafes has swept across the country, for Gu's parents and Gu's parents, Internet cafes are still a relatively fashionable new word, and they don't know whether this business is reliable or not, but these days, Gu Bei has nothing to do with how good it is to open an Internet café to them, it is a profitable business, Gu's mother is moved, she still believes in her son's vision, and the only thing she is worried about is that she doesn't understand computers.

Gu Bei immediately said: "It's okay, I can teach you, it's not difficult to open an Internet café at all." It is to engage in Internet café permits, rent houses and rent stores to buy computers and pull broadband, and if you go to do it now, you can get it for a few thousand yuan, if you don't do it this year, the state will probably ban the license next year, and if you want to buy an Internet café license when the time comes, you can't buy it without one or two thousand yuan. If you stay for a few more years, it will not be difficult to sell an Internet café certificate to 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. ”

In fact, Gu Bei insisted on letting his parents open an Internet café, just wanting his parents to do a simple and easy career, without making too much money, as long as he could pass the time and realize his own value, of course, he had to make his parents believe that opening an Internet café was a very promising business, so he continued to draw his own blueprint for the Internet café.

"Now Internet cafes are becoming more and more popular, and we have opened many Internet cafes in Shilin City, and the Internet cafes are often full, and there is no free space at all during peak hours. Opening an Internet café can be said to be a profitable business in the next ten years. So as long as we choose the address of the Internet café, take care of the tax, police station, and industrial and commercial bureau, the rest is a net profit.

"I think Gu Bei has a good idea, now that you are laid off, you should find something to do. Gu Chengming expressed his support for Gu Bei, Gu's father is a person with ideas, otherwise he would not have resigned and went to the sea that year, if he hadn't been miserable by Wu Jinye, he would have become a millionaire in 2001: "Since we want to open an Internet café, we must distinguish ourselves from other Internet cafes and form our own advantages, and the difference lies in scale, environment, network speed and service." ”

"That's right!" Gu Bei received his father's support, and Amway became even more energetic: "I have the same idea as my father, if our family wants to open a regular Internet café, it is not the kind of petty fight." No matter how you need 200 computers, now there are very few Internet cafes with 200 computers in Shilin City, and we are the largest Internet café in Shilin City, of course, the service must also keep up, fundamentally get rid of the competition of other Internet cafes. By the way, isn't the second aunt very good at business? Let her come over and help us manage the Internet café. ”

Gu's mother saw the father and son singing and harmonizing, and muttered: "It's okay to let your second aunt manage the network, but the computer is very expensive, 200 computers, how much does it cost?"

"Mom, is your son a man who is short of money?"

"Hey, the rabbit cub jumped into the war after making a few bucks, you said that you don't need money to buy a house in Qingchuan in the future to ask for a wife and have a baby, you have to be diligent and thrifty, don't you know?"

"You know, you know, the opening of an Internet café is decided!"
