Chapter Forty-Eight: The World Is Falling
In the evening, Su Liwen called home, and his mother answered him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mom, it's me, Xiaowen."
"Xiaowen, didn't you say that you had winter vacation today, why didn't you come back?" Mom asked calmly.
"Mom, that's right, I started a company with a few classmates, and I'm busy now, and I won't come back until a week." Su Liwen thought about it, the matter of opening a company and opening a bubble tea shop by himself was too unbelievable, not like a freshman student could do it, first give the family a preventive shot, and it would be easy to explain later.
"Start a company?" Mom's voice was a little confused.
"Isn't work-study popular in college now, so I will find something to do with a few like-minded classmates, so that I can exercise myself and reduce the burden on my family at the same time." Sullivan explained.
"Our family doesn't lack money for you to go to school, forget it, you have grown up and have your own ideas, let's talk about it when you come back." Mom said with some dissatisfaction.
"Well, Mom, then you pay attention to your body."
hung up the phone, and after washing, Su Liwen lay in the bed, ready to sleep, when Ah Ling called.
"Arwen, are you on winter vacation?"
"Release, but I'll be back in a few days."
"I'm also on vacation, I'll come to you tomorrow morning and go back in the afternoon."
"Hmm...... I'll come to you. β
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at school."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Su Liwen woke up, pushed open the door and looked, only to see a white space between the world, the snow was still sprinkled and floating, the ground accumulated more than a palm of thick white snow, the dead branches of the plane trees on the side of the road formed ice crystals, through the white hat of the tile house, trees, telephone poles, overlooking the Xiangjiang River, a lonely boat wandering on the river, faintly visible on the boat an elderly fisherman is pulling nets, a few crows hovering over the boat, this group of birds that are not afraid of the cold has smelled fishy.
A gust of north wind blew, whining, the snow moved with the wind, burrowing into Sullivan's neck, Sullivan tightened his collar, and looked at the Yuelu Mountains in the distance, covered with snow, the mountains were undulating, majestic and magnificent, and there was a beautiful scenery of a snow country.
It is the wind that follows the mountain snow at will, and the cold wraps around the canopy of the trees with ice crystals; The silver seal is late to return to the crow, and the river boat is lonely and untouched.
went down to the first floor and played Baji Boxing for half an hour, Su Liwen was comfortable, and bursts of white gas appeared on his head. Several early employees watched the boss practice boxing, and only came up to say hello when he finished practicing.
After eating breakfast and staying in the company until ten o'clock, Sullivan went out to take a taxi and went straight to the art school.
It didn't take much effort for taxis to drive to the art school, and dozens of cars were parked on both sides of the road at the school gate, including luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche.
The driver's eldest brother slowed down slowly, pulled the car over the side of the road, and said without a cover: "Don't look at the many good cars here, most of them are not here to pick up their children, but to pick up the second # milk, these days, the world is nowadays, some female students only recognize money, whether you are forty or fifty or sixty or seventy years old......"
Su Liwen smiled, didn't say anything, paid the fare and got out of the car, looking for Ah Ling in the crowd.
Today is the first day of the winter vacation, the weather is cold, the snowflakes are falling, the girls are wrapped tightly, singing and laughing all the way, dragging their luggage out of the school.
Su Liwen searched in the crowd for a long time and didn't find Ah Ling, when suddenly a pair of cold little hands covered his eyes from behind, and a silver bell-like laugh came: "Guess who I am?" β
Su Liwen smiled, gently broke a pair of small hands, and turned around, Ah Ling happened to look at him with a smile, Su Liwen asked, "On such a cold day, why didn't you wear gloves?" β
Ah Ling was still standing next to Xiangxiang and Lili, the three girls were all wrapped tightly, Ah Ling put her slender hand into Su Liwen's pocket, and Meimu looked at him and smiled: "It's so warm, I don't like to wear gloves." β
Xiangxiang next to him winked at Su Liwen, Su Liwen pretended not to see it, the four of them chatted casually, and suddenly Xiangxiang stared at Su Liwen's back, and scolded in a low voice: "Little wave hoof!" β
Su Liwen turned his head to look, and a trendy bewitching girl dragged a pink suitcase and walked out of the school gate. She wears heavy makeup, delicate facial features, tall figure, a luxurious fur coat on the top, a fiery red mink scarf around her neck, a short leather skirt on the bottom, revealing a round thigh wrapped in black stockings, and knee-length black leather high-heeled boots. It's really a double day, and on such a cold day, I only wore a short skirt and black silk.
The demon girl seemed to know Xiangxiang, she cast a contemptuous look at Xiangxiang, twisted her ass and walked towards a Porsche SUV, the Porsche door opened, and a bald middle-aged man walked out, he greeted the demon girl and shouted "little baby".
The demon girl gave him a wink, and the middle-aged man helped her carry the suitcase, and then got in the car and left.
Xiangxiang and Lily watched all this intently, with both resentment and contempt in their eyes, but more envy.
"Who doesn't know that she is a famous bus in the school, and whoever has the money to go with whom." Xiangxiang muttered under her breath.
Lily accosted herself, "That's it, that's it!" β
Sullivan pretended not to hear, and Ah Ling, who was next to him, pulled the corner of his clothes and signaled that it was time for him to go.
After saying goodbye, Sullivan and Ah Ling took a taxi to a hotel near the train station to check in.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A Ling's hometown is in Nanzhou City, and the train departs at 10 p.m. and arrives at 5 a.m. the next day. At this time, it was more than eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was still early, and after opening the room, the two put down their luggage and went out for lunch first.
Walking on the road, the snow has stopped at this time, and the snow on the ground is slowly melting, and I feel even colder.
The two of them walked on the side of the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, there was a newspaper kiosk not far in front, and an old beggar sat on the wet ground next to it, the beggar was wearing a stained military coat, this military coat had not been washed for I don't know how many years, the original army green disappeared, replaced by all kinds of oil and dirt, and the collar and cuffs had long been worn out. When he got closer, the wrinkles on the beggar's face were like those of a knife and an axe, his eyebrows and beard had turned gray, and his black lips were slightly open, revealing a mouthful of rotten yellow and black teeth.
Ah Ling suddenly stopped and said to Su Liwen: "This beggar is so pitiful, he still came out to beg on such a cold day." After saying that, she took out a fifty-year-old man's head from her LV bag and placed it in the broken bowl in front of the beggar.
The beggar's cloudy eyes lit up, his old face was full of emotion, and there were words in his mouth: "Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you as a girl...... Rich and noble, blessed and prosperous, and live a long life...... The house is full of children and grandchildren......"
Winter, snow, and elderly beggars, these factors are all gathered together, and Sullivan feels that there should be a sadness in his heart, but his heart is like an ancient well, there is no wave, and there is no trace of ups and downs.
Maybe it's because I've seen too much news about professional beggars in later generations, Sullivan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Subsequently, the two found a Chinese restaurant, had lunch, and returned to the hotel at 1 pm. After entering the room, Ah Ling gave Su Liwen a wink, turned on the heater, and pulled Su Liwen into the bathroom.
Outside the house is icy and snowy, the spring in the house is boundless, a few hints of delicate panting sound from the house, the sound insulation effect of this room is not very good, a waiter who passed by the front of the room Xiao MM faintly heard a few gasps, she stopped by the ghost, put her ear on the door to eavesdrop, for a long time, only to walk away with a red face and red ears with her thighs in her thighs.
Sullivan slept very deeply, sleeping until eight o'clock in the evening. He tossed with Ah Ling for an afternoon, and the spring breeze was five degrees of Yumen Pass, even if he was nineteen years old, he was a little unbearable.
Ah Ling lay lazily beside him like a Persian cat, her face was ruddy, her eyebrows were full of spring, and when she saw him wake up, she said softly: "You woke up." β
"What time is it?" Su Liwen asked, it was already dark, he crawled over with his bones, but found himself naked, and hurriedly looked for clothes to put on.
Ah Ling smiled and helped him tidy up his clothes, so she said unhurriedly: "It's still early, a little more than eight o'clock." β
The two packed their luggage, ordered takeout, and waited until a quarter past nine to carry their luggage to the train station.
Before entering the station, Ah Ling suddenly said: "I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you for a few more days." β
Su Liwen stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Don't be willful, the tickets are all bought, go ahead, take care of yourself on the way." β
Ah Ling nodded reluctantly, kissed Su Liwen on the face, and then entered the station.
Seeing Ah Ling disappear, Su Liwen faintly blamed himself, he only sent Tang Yu away yesterday, and he sent Ah Ling away today, how to sort out the relationship here? Do you want to step on two boats? After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, and finally my heart was crossed, there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, so why did he do so much.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xiangxiang returned home, and after lunch, she chatted with her mother for a while. Xiangxiang's family is ordinary, his father is an employee of the power supply station, he often goes out early and returns late, his mother is at home, and there is a younger brother who is in junior high school below, and the whole family relies on his father's monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, and his life is tight. To add insult to injury, the family's old house suddenly couldn't be rented out a few years ago, and life was even more difficult, Xiangxiang couldn't buy a few clothes a year, which was intolerable for her who loved beauty.
Fortunately, last month, the family's old house was suddenly rented out, although the rent was only 1,800 yuan, but the parents were very satisfied, the location of the old house was too partial, the students who rented the house were too far away, and they could not be used as a store faΓ§ade, after the old house was rented out, the parents had a little more smile on their faces, and her mother gave her an extra 100 yuan for living expenses last month, so that she could take it to buy a set of clothes.
"I'm out, it's such a cold day, you can go somewhere else, play at home." After the mother and daughter chatted for a while, the mother took a small handbag that she had sewn and prepared to go out.
"Mom, where are you going?" Xiangxiang asked.
"Go collect the rent, don't you rent out our old house, it's going to be the New Year, go and collect the second month's rent today." Mother said.
Xiangxiang's heart moved, last time Sullivan said to himself that he was working there, so he might as well go and investigate, so he said: "Mom, I just have nothing to do, let's go with you." β
The mother and daughter entered the company, and suddenly felt warm, and in less than a minute, fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, and Xiangxiang's mother said enviously: "This company is really willing, so that the monthly electricity bill for air conditioning will exceed the rent." β
As he was talking, the door of the finance room opened, and Miao Xiaoyu greeted Xiangxiang's mother: "Auntie, come in and sit." β
The two went in, Miao Xiaoyu poured boiled water for them, looked at Xiangxiang a few times, and praised Xiangxiang's mother: "This is your daughter, she looks so beautiful!" β
"This daughter of mine is the best in the village." Xiangxiang's mother gave a thumbs up, she was very proud, Xiangxiang looked like a mother, and praising her daughter was praising her mother.
Miao Xiaoyu smiled and asked casually: "Does your daughter have a partner, my company is full of college students, do you want to introduce her to a partner?" β
"There's no hurry, my daughter is also in college." Xiangxiang's mother said with a smile, in her eyes, a junior college is also a university, not to mention that her daughter is so beautiful and she is learning to sing, maybe she will become a singer in the future, besides, she must find a rich and powerful person to marry, and she may not take it in her eyes as an ordinary college student.
The two of them said a few more homely words, Miao Xiaoyu ordered 2,800 yuan and handed it to Xiangxiang's mother, of which 1,000 was the Spring Festival guard fee, took out the receipt and asked her to sign it, Xiangxiang asked sweetly next to her at this time: "Sister, do you have an employee named Su Liwen here?" β
Miao Xiaoyu chuckled: "That's our boss, not an employee." β
Xiangxiang covered her mouth and said in surprise: "He is only less than twenty years old, how did he become the boss?" β
"Our boss is not an ordinary person, he is a genius, a real genius." Miao Xiaoyu admired Su Liwen very much, and suddenly asked, "Do you know our boss?" β
Xiangxiang nodded: "Know!" β
Miao Xiaoyu asked again, but Xiangxiang was reluctant to say more.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When the mother and daughter returned home, the mother asked Xiangxiang, "Do you know their boss?" I heard that the boss is a young man who is less than twenty years old, it seems to be the one who asked me to rent a house, he is still very handsome, and he is tall, the most important thing is that he opened a company at a young age, he is both talented and rich, and he heard that the ordinary employees of their company have a salary of two or three thousand...... "She moved her mind to recruit a son-in-law, and felt that such a person was worthy of her daughter, the daughter was smart and beautiful, and the strange goods were liveable, and the family wanted to turn over but counted on their daughter.
Xiangxiang didn't reply, she didn't listen to what her mother said, she had a huge wave in her heart, it was originally Su Liwen who was just a rich second generation, but she didn't expect him to be the owner of a company, no wonder Ah Ling was dead set on him, no wonder he was a LV handbag as soon as he made a move, what is his identity? Is this company open for him to play with at home? Ah Ling, Ah Ling, you are really lucky, no, I must not admit defeat, I must snatch him over, Xiangxiang swore secretly.
