37. His initiative
When he was about to arrive in the city, Mao Dong received a call from Sha Pei.
Shi Bowen saw that Mao Dong had accepted the phone, so he asked: "I haven't seen that kid Shapi for a while, how about it, why did Beixing sell him now?" β
"I learned that others want to do business, but I have been talking about it, and I haven't done it until now."
"That kid, although his head is a little straighter, but to be honest, he is a very good person, and I think he will follow you wholeheartedly."
Shi Bowen's words, Mao Dong also agreed, "I was afraid that he would learn badly again, and now I can't keep letting him follow me." β
"What kind of Zhang Tianliang is he with, have you reconciled?"
"A few months ago, I almost fought in North Star."
Shi Bowen laughed dryly, "The stinky boy's temper is still like that, when I have time to call out a few boys one day, we haven't been together for a long time, by the way, I'll introduce you to my iron buddy when I have the opportunity." β
"Who?" Mao Dong asked.
Shi Bowen sold the pass, smiled and glanced at Mao Dong a few times, but didn't say anything.
Mao Dong said: "Tsk, hurry up." β
Shi Bowen said twice, pretending to be serious, "The eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Da." β
Huoda is also famous in the upper circle of Qihai City, plus he himself is also low-key, and rarely makes any jokes about his father, and most of the insiders speak highly of him.
"Why did you introduce him to me?" Mao Dong asked Shi Bowen with a side face.
Shi Bowen glanced at him, "What do you say?" β
Huoda is now doing business by himself, and he is also famous, because of his background, many businessmen are scrambling to hook up, and he is familiar with him in front of him. If you are familiar with Hoda, some things are just a matter of a few words.
The BMW driven by Shi Bowen had already entered the city center, and Mao Dong pointed to the intersection in front of him, "Just stop in front." β
"Where are you going, you don't drink at night?"
Mao Dong unbuckled his seat belt and turned around to stare at Shi Bowen with sunglasses lightly.
"What do you say?"
***
Liang Ju's rented house Sha Leather took Mao Dong to see it.
"Who paid for this house?" Shapi just knows his brother, and he can guess anything Mao Dong asks in the first sentence.
"Brother, I rented this money with the money you gave me."
"Didn't you buy a car with that money?"
"I bought the car with a loan, and I used half of the money you gave me plus some of my own savings." Every word of this was according to Liang Ju's sue sΓΉ to him, and in the face of his brother Yan SΓΉ's iceberg face, Sha Pei felt a little nervous.
"I don't want the house, you can return it." Mao Dong walked back to the bedroom from the windowsill, Shapi expected him to say this, so he sat on the sofa in the living room with Mao Dong.
"Brother, I have already paid the money for this house, and now I can't return it if you don't live in it."
Mao Dong raised his eyes to look at Sha Pei, who was stunned for a moment, turned sideways and held a water cup to drink with his head in disguise.
"Honestly, who rented this house?"
"Of course it's me! You sold all the houses for us, why don't we do something for you? Brother, living here is also convenient for your work. β
Mao Dong was obviously not interested in this house, he got up and walked directly to the gate, "I still have something to do, you can discuss the matter of the house with the landlord again." β
Seeing that he was leaving, Shar Pei was dumbfounded, he still had a lot of lines to say.
"Brother"
"By the way, Shi Bowen returned to China, and he said that he would find you to have a meal with him one day."
Sha Pei didn't have the heart to eat, but when he heard Shi Bowen's words, he suddenly had an idea.
"Brother, do you have his contact information, wait for me to go and play with him."
Shapi asked for Shi Bowen's number from Mao Dong, and after Mao Dong left, he decisively called Liang Ju and told him about his next plan.
***
Mao Dong continued to live in the original Xiaoping house for a few days, and Liang Ju only called him occasionally in the past few days.
For Liang Ju, Mao Dong found out for the first time that Shi Bowen's judgment was true, and his emotional intelligence was really low.
On the one hand, he did not directly admit himself against his will, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to make it clear thoroughly, and he was caught between the choices and was in a dilemma.
He likes Liang Ju and is not disgusted with her, this is true, if it was placed in the past, maybe he would accept her, but now the biggest gap between him and Liang Ju is Mao Dongyan's sense of responsibility.
He doesn't want the people around him to be implicated by him, if he is with Liang Ju now, then she has to suffer with him, look up at this poor life, poor conditions, how can he bear it.
For Mao Dong, he feels that a man's obligation should be to make his family and women as happy as possible, he believes in himself, believes that he has the ability, but now he has encountered a cut, and when this difficulty is overcome, he can make a comeback. And what about Liang Ju? What will she do before he doesn't succeed? Of course, Mao Dong would not selfishly let a girl in his prime wait for him for several years, so, out of reason, he wanted to break off this relationship for her.
However, he is still a man after all, and he also has his own emotions, so he still can't bear it.
Mao Dong got up from behind the desk and walked back and forth in the room twice, Liang Ju didn't say what she was busy with when he called, and he was embarrassed to ask, in a few days he would leave to go back to his hometown to go to Mao Bei's grave, do you want to go to her before that? But if he took the initiative to find her, would she think that he accepted her, and it would be even more difficult to break it, but if you don't see it
Rubbing his hair a few times, when did he become so entangled, so entangled that he felt that he was so incompetent, and his emotional intelligence was too low!
'Knock knock'.
There was a sudden knock at the door.
***
Shapi drove to the school to find Liang Ju, and the two had been waiting for news from Shi Bowen, in order to allow Mao Dong to successfully live in a new house, Shapi teased Liang Ju that he was about to become the leader of the special service team.
Shi Bowen called, Shapi and Liang Ju had been waiting in McDonald's for more than an hour, and when they received his call, Liang Ju was anxious and almost knocked over the Coke on the table.
"Hey, Brother Bowen!" Shapi turned on the phone and put it in the middle of the table, and Liang Ju leaned over and stuck his head out to listen carefully.
"It's all done, and he will be able to call you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, brother"
"Really? It's so handsome! β
Liang Ju's cheers obviously overshadowed Sha Pei, and Shi Bowen on the other end of the phone immediately asked as soon as he heard a girl's voice, "Sha Pei, is there anyone next to you?" β
Liang Ju generously picked up the phone and said, "Thank you, Mr. Peacock, you really did us a great favor this time!" β
After Shi Bowen reflected for a few seconds, he could discern that it was Liang Ju's voice from the voice.
"It turned out to be you, I still want to ask, I didn't really bump into you that day, did I?"
Sha Pei heard Shi Bowen ask at the table, and looked at Liang Ju with two big eyes as if asking.
Liang Ju gestured to him and continued to say into the phone: "I didn't bump into it, even if we don't know each other, thank you this time, I will invite you to dinner when I have the opportunity in the future." β
"It's okay to eat, but my brother has to invite me, so I should introduce you to my sister-in-law."
Shi Bowen is worthy of being a human spirit, and Liang Ju, who was called 'little sister-in-law', suddenly burst into joy. "Okay, no problem!"
"Anyway, you're good to my brother, so you didn't work hard to let him live in a new house, right?"
Liang Ju laughed, "That's necessary, who told me to feel sorry for him." β
Liang Ju and Shi Bowen chatted casually for a few more words, and hung up the phone after making an appointment to have dinner together next time.
Sha Pei deliberately kept a straight face, but there was still a smile in his voice, he raised his finger and pointed at Liang Ju, "Even Shi Bowen you know, it seems that you and my brother get along well?" β
Liang Ju bit the straw and Coke, his eyes crooked with a smile, "Did you hear me, what did people call me just now, Xiao, sister-in-law, son!" β
"Girl, don't be complacent, do you think the little sister-in-law is so good?"
"Cut, brother, don't underestimate me."
Shi Bowen said that Mao Dong would call Sha Pei in two days, but Liang Ju felt that he should still let Sha Pei take the initiative to contact Mao Dong.
The landlord of Mao Dong's original house said that the small bungalow was bought, and the house needed to be vacated within three days, and the liquidated damages would be compensated to Mao Dong, and it was not easy to find a cheap and suitable house in a short period of time.
The rent to Shapi is to Liang Ju, and Liang Ju will still spend the money back on Mao Dong, or save it for him.
Anyway, Liang Ju's goal was achieved, and she was considered a success.
***
It's the middle of December, and there are many students who are preparing for the graduate school entrance examination are actively preparing, Liang Ju dormitory Lan Lan and Zeng Shumin are both going to graduate school, Zeng Shumin is good at studying, in addition to sleeping during this time, even going to the toilet and going to the cafeteria to eat have to hold a book at any time, Liang Ju laughed at her, "If you look like this, you're about to become a nerd, isn't it just a graduate school entrance examination, why are you so nervous?" β
Zeng Shumin took a bite of the fire in his hand, drank another sip of soup, and kept looking at the open book on the table, "For rural children like me, reading is my only way out, and I can't find a good job after I can't get into graduate school." β
At noon, the university cafeteria is always the most lively place, Liang Ju and Zeng Shumin sat in a four-person table on the outermost side of the window, because it was cold under the window next to them, there was no one sitting inside.
Liang Ju used chopsticks to flick the dishes on the plate, and said: "Isn't looking for a job just to make money, in my opinion, studying is not proportional to how much money you earn in the future, as long as you have a brain, you will earn money no matter what." β
"Alas, studying in our old family is the way out, and as long as anyone's child can study, it is equivalent to saying that the child will become rich in the future."
Liang Ju snorted and laughed, "Then you guys are too conservative." β
Hearing Liang Ju say this, Zeng Shumin raised his eyes, "Anyway, if you don't study, there will be fewer ways out in the future, my mother saved money for me to go to college just to let me find a good job in Qihai City in the future." Orange, you have never been in the countryside, I tell you, as long as you live there for a few years, I promise that as long as you come out, you will never want to go back. β
Liang Ju bit the spoon and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Mao Dong's hometown seemed to be in the kind of place in the countryside, and when she heard Zeng Shumin say this, she had curiosity about it.
Don't you say that when you like someone, you want to explore everything about him, then for the current Liang Ju, she just wants to know everything about Mao Dong, including where he grew up when he was a child. If you have the opportunity to go there, it is a very good choice, and it may help her to further win Mao Dong.
After eating, Liang Ju and Zeng Shumin walked slowly on the school path, it is rare that the sun is shining today, although the temperature is still very low, you can see the white breath you exhale when you speak, but walking on the snow under the sun, the reflection of the snow is bright, and the mood is much brighter.
Zeng Shumin said to Liang Ju: "Why have you been in a cold war with Yu Yanjie since I moved to the dormitory, aren't you two okay?" β
Liang Ju sniffed, "Both of us are stubborn, if you don't talk to me, I won't tell you, no one will give each other the stairs, so naturally it won't be fine." β
"Do you want me to help?"
Liang Ju looked at her with a smile, "You are a newcomer to the dormitory, what can you help, let's review your books well." β
Zeng Shumin pursed his lips, "Also, they rarely talk to me usually, and I'm afraid they won't be able to say a few words." β
Zeng Shumin has a gentle personality, and her tone of speech is gentle and gentle, and Liang Ju has never seen her angry after getting along for so long.
Liang Ju grabbed Zeng Shumin's arm and put his head on her shoulder, "Xiao Minmin, you said that you have been in school for four years, can we change this dress?" β
Zeng Shumin disagreed, and reached out and touched his long braid, "My mother told me that I can't be in college for my studies."
Liang Ju couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What kind of national ideology is your mother?" β
A few students came out of the teaching building not far away, and Liang Ju glanced at it casually and saw Yu Yanjie wearing a pink coat, she was talking to the classmates next to her in a low voice.
Think about it, she and Yu Yanjie have also had a rare friendship for a few years, and they can't ruin the relationship between two people for the sake of one or two villains.
Holding Zeng Shumin and walking slowly a few steps, Liang Ju felt that about Yu Yanjie's family, no matter who walked the news out, the injured person was Yu Yanjie, although it was not the culprit, but Liang Ju took into account Yu Yanjie's feelings, she felt that she should be generous and should take the initiative.
"Xiao Minmin, you go back to the dormitory first."
Zeng Shumin also saw Yu Yanjie, she nodded knowingly, turned around and left first.
Liang Ju and Yu Yanjie happened to be standing on a wooded road opposite each other, with trees on both sides and students coming and going.
Yu Yanjie said goodbye to her classmates and walked to the cafeteria, and when she turned sideways, she saw Liang Ju walking towards her with a smile.
"Jiejie, have you eaten, I'm hungry and just want to eat, together?"
Liang Ju spoke in the same tone as usual, as if there had been no unpleasantness between the two, she quickly walked over and grabbed Yu Yanjie's arm, tilted her head and crooked her eyes, "What do you want to eat, I invite you!" β
Yu Yanjie shook off her hand and said expressionlessly: "I've eaten it, you can eat it yourself." β
As she spoke, she took a few more steps forward, leaving Liang Ju alone.
Liang Ju hurriedly followed her, "Why are you still angry, I don't care if I am wronged by you, how angry are you going to be?" β
There were students coming out of the cafeteria after eating, Lan Lan walked out of the main entrance with a lunch box and a few boys talking and laughing, and the male classmates around him patted Lan Lan and pointed to Liang Ju and Yu Yanjie who were talking, "Isn't that from your dormitory?" β
Lan Lan glanced at it and found that it was really true.
"You guys go first, I'll go and have a look."
A boy came up to her and whispered, "The girl we saw at the gate of North Star last time was her, is it her mother looking for a man outside?" β
The corners of Lan Lan's mouth hooked slightly, "It's her mother who is looking for a man outside behind her father's back, and now she has abandoned her father and her." β
Several boys glanced at each other, and someone said: "I'm not interested in her, but Liang Ju next to her, she can be regarded as the school flower of our class." β
Lan Lan sneered, "Isn't it just that you can dance with a soft body, what's the big deal." β
"I heard that you made Liang Ju and Yu Yanjie stiff?" The other boy glanced Lan Lan up and down, "Amazing!" β
Lan Lan smiled at him, "Young Master Ye, don't forget what you promised me." β
Ye Qingting laughed evilly, "What I said doesn't count yet." β
On the other side, Yu Yanjie walked towards the school gate, and Liang Ju rarely followed her cheekily.
"Jiejie, let me tell you, we have a misunderstanding 100%, you have to believe me!"
"It was clear that the two of us were in Beixing that day, if you didn't say this, then who else could there be!"
"Why do I have nothing to say bad things about you behind my back, I'm not that kind of person, how can you misunderstand me?"
"Okay, I misunderstood you, then you say, how did the school classmates know about this?" Yu Yanjie stood still, staring back at Liang Ju and waiting for her answer.
Liang Ju couldn't say the reason for a while, but the matter was really known to the whole school, which was strange to her.
Zeng Shumin ran over from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Orange, orange, someone is looking for you!" β
Liang Ju and Yu Yanjie turned their heads together, Liang Ju saw that Zeng Shumin's little face was flushed, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Someone is looking for you, a man, but you look good!" Zeng Shumin held his chest and said intermittently.
Man? Or a good-looking man?
A thought quickly flashed into his mind, Liang Ju ran to the dormitory regardless of Yu Yanjie's legs, Zeng Shumin hurriedly shouted: "Wrong, wrong, at the school gate!" β
Zeng Shumin pointed in the direction of the school gate, Liang Ju hurriedly stopped, reflexively ran back, "Thank you!" β
Liang Ju ran to the school gate with the greatest strength and the greatest steps, and through the iron fence gate, she saw a man wearing a black jacket and carrying a plastic bag in his hand, standing under a withered sycamore tree and smoking a cigarette.
Seeing her, he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and beckoned to her restrainedly.
For the first time, Liang Ju saw unnaturalness in Mao Dong's cramped smile.
He seemed to be nervous.
