Chapter 373: Time flies
After Qin Miao told me about the business dispute between Yang Jin and Jin Qiu, I was silent until she fell into silence because she had nothing to say, and then I said to her: "I think you just told me about this because you were angry, and you didn't think that I could play any role between them, right?" ”
"Yes, you're right, the purpose of what I'm telling you is to hope that if you need to make judgments about these two people in the future, you can have a basis."
I smiled and replied, "What basis do you need?" In fact, they are essentially the same kind of people, if Jin Qiu has Yang Jin's current status, I think, she will also choose so, and she can't let a five-star hotel with an investment of one billion yuan to accompany the wedding company to bear this public relations crisis, I think this is a normal performance of abandoning the car to protect the handsome. ”
This time, Qin Miao on the other end of the phone said to me after a while: "Jiang Qiao, I feel like you have changed!" ”
"I haven't changed, I say this because I know them too well...... Not to mention them, maybe you Qin Miao will make the same choice when facing the same situation, you are all the same in essence. ”
Qin Miao sighed lightly, and then replied: "In the past, I might have been like this, but since I have experienced so much, I think that people sometimes talk about some human feelings, if you let others resent too much, there will really be retribution." After all, fame and fortune are things that can't be taken away, but if there is really a next life, I'm afraid there is a causal cycle, and in the end, good people are rewarded, and bad people are not as good as pigs and dogs. ”
Qin Miao's words made me think about it at a very deep level, and I said: "You say this, I agree very much, the reason why many people are willing to do anything for fame and fortune is because of the lack of faith, and the general atheism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which will make everyone feel that the cost of being a bad person is very low; If most people believe that there is a cycle of cause and effect, I am afraid that they will try to be a good person for the sake of their next life. ”
"I believe that there is a next life, because there are too many regrets in this life."
This time, although Qin Miao only said a few words, I felt that she was close to me, because I knew her regrets in this life, and I could understand what she said to me.
After finishing the call with Qin Miao, I sat on the sofa for a moment before calling Liu Liu, and we made an appointment to meet at a food stall that ate seafood, mainly to talk about the business positioning of the bar. If our opinions can be unanimous, I can do it tonight in the feasibility report for Qiao Ye to weigh...... I wish this project could be progressed a little faster, because I don't want to waste any more time.
……
In the food stalls, Liu Liu still looked sluggish after overindulgence, and after we asked for a bucket of draft beer and a few seafood stir-fries, we began to chat while eating.
He asked me with concern: "When will Yao Yu's debt repayment money be in place, and seeing that it is about to expire, she has been panicking for the past two days!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, at most there will be a letter tomorrow."
Liu Liu nodded and replied: "Okay, seeing that you have such a foundation in your heart, let's talk about the business positioning of the music bar." But before we talk, I'd like to make a little comment on the renovation. I think we can be a little more bold, the bars are basically the same now, and I personally feel quite bored. ”
This is a very constructive suggestion, and it is exactly what I want to focus on with you. The biggest advantage of our place is the space, and there are basically no constraints on the transformation, so what I mean is that we simply play a little harder and directly make the bar into a green beer bottle shape, and the mouth of the bottle is the entrance, so that it can vividly reflect the elements of the bar? ”
Liu Liu touched his chin, as if simulating the appearance of a bar in his brain, and replied after a while: "There is a little meaning, I agree with this plan, it can be regarded as developing the advantages of the old factory, because this kind of decoration plan must be difficult to achieve in the urban area......" After a slight pause, Liu Liu said again: "The element of wine is reflected, but how is the element of music reflected?" ”
I had already prepared, so I didn't think about it, so I replied, "Regarding the musical element, we have to talk about another advantage of ours. My plan was to design the parking lot as a flat piano. A piano key is a parking space. In addition, the lighting equipment is made into a three-dimensional giant guitar, which is the embodiment of musical elements. At this point, I smiled and said, "Actually, these are all false...... What really reflects the atmosphere of music is the music exchange party held once a month, and the intervention of media companies is also the embodiment of musical elements. In short, I am confident that our bar will have a few first-line musicians. ”
Liu Liu nodded, he handed me a cigarette, and said with emotion: "I can see that you are really careful about the affairs of the bar...... Basically all the resources are you're worried about...... To be honest, I'm ashamed because I wasn't too confident about being a bar in the first place, so I didn't pay much attention to it! ”
"I'll be honest, even if you think so, I don't mind...... I only hope that in the future cooperation, we can complement each other in resources, because the later operation also needs you and Kangkang's network resources in this circle. Otherwise, no matter how good my side is, I can only have rice without cooking. ”
Liu Liu lit the cigarette in his hand, squinted and took a puff, and replied: "Don't worry, I really decided to make a bar, I will definitely use all the resources I can use...... Hehe, I'm a person, maybe it makes you feel less reliable, but if you really start doing things, it's absolutely unambiguous. ”
I smiled: "Just because you found my sister in such a big ****** yesterday, I won't think you are unreliable!" ”
Liu Liu also smiled with me, then raised a glass to touch one with me, and said, "Seriously, what is the origin of your sister?" …… I heard from the buddy who helped find her that she sat alone at the bar and ordered a bottle of foreign wine worth thousands of dollars, and she didn't take a few sips herself...... Money is not such a waste! ”
I drank the wine in the cup, but I didn't want to mention Yang Qu so much in my heart, and after a while, I just said to him: "Let's not talk about these digressions, I still have a few points to discuss with you about the operation of the bar...... At present, our main profit channel is only a music reception event, and the way to make money is relatively simple, so do you have any good ideas here to expand our profit channels? ”
Liu Liu thought for a long time and replied: "I can give you some experience in business that I have learned from so many years of mixing in bars, but when it comes to the idea of making money, I really can't ...... it."
"I don't have a good idea at the moment...... However, it is really not a good thing that the profit point is too single, but fortunately, there is still a lot of time, so let's take our time...... Have good ideas and keep communicating at all times. ”
Liu Liu nodded, and when he was about to break up, he talked to me about learning guitar again. Then I remembered that the first decision to come to Shanghai was because I wanted to learn the guitar well. But lately, this idea has become less and less, presumably because the affairs of the bar are distracted by too much energy......
I thought about it again, and even in a moment's trance, I couldn't remember how long Xiao Ai had been gone. I don't know how we will feel when we suddenly meet in a completely unprepared scene in a few years......
I seem to have come to believe that time is really the cure for everything, and I have slowly come to terms with the fact that Xiao Ai is gone. Although I still miss her very much, I don't really believe that something will happen between us in our lifetime.
Come to think of it, is there anything more regrettable and painful in life than this?
……
After separating from Liu Liu, I went to a decoration company, and then communicated my ideas with the designer, hoping that he could help me make a rendering of the bar and parking lot in the next few days, so that the investor Qiao Ye could more intuitively feel the design he was pursuing.
But what makes me feel embarrassed is that the cost of starting a business in Shanghai is really high, just such a simple rendering, the decoration company actually quoted me a fee of 3,000 yuan. In the end, it was Liu Liu who transferred the money to me through WeChat, which can be regarded as the first money invested in the bar.
When I returned to my residence, I started the feasibility report in the dark, and it was not until it was almost dusk that I remembered that I had promised Yang Qu yesterday to cook a meal for her tonight.
I immediately went to the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients such as pork ribs and lotus root, and warmed up the dishes that had basically not touched the chopsticks last night, and Yang Qu also came to my residence on the way.
After what happened last night, we weren't as tense as we were when we first met, we sat face to face, I drank, she ate, and occasionally we would say a few words. Basically, though, she's talking, I'm answering.
In the silence, I finally found a topic to ask her for the first time, "Which university are you going to?" ”
Yang Qu looked at me with a wicked smile, and then replied: "You inquire about this, do you want to make it easier for me to stew a chicken soup or something in the future?" ”
"I'll stew a ghost to make it up for you!"
Yang Qu laughed: "Don't admit it, although we have only been together for less than two days, I already have a basic understanding of your character, and your biggest shortcoming is your hard mouth." Of course, the biggest advantage is also a hard mouth...... Because it's cute! ”
I ignored her thoughts and poured myself another glass of wine. She pouted and looked at me for a while, feeling bored, and then disarmed and surrendered, and said, "Why do you have a dead face...... I'll tell you...... I was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, which is where the beautiful women and handsome guys get together. ”
I looked at her a little surprised, because in my consciousness, Yang Jin would definitely let her apply for a university where business management is her strength, but I didn't expect it to be a drama school. Does Yang Jin have the heart to let her develop in the entertainment industry?
After thinking about it, I don't think this is in line with Yang Jin's values, and Yang Qu has no need to go to that mixed place.
As if sensing my doubts, Yang Qu said to me quite complacently, "I knew you would have such a surprised expression...... Hehe, you may not believe it when you say it, don't look at our mother being strong outside, but she can't control me at all...... Originally, she was going to send me to study abroad, but I didn't want to take her set, I just wanted to learn drama performance, so I took it upon myself to apply for the Shanghai Theater Academy......"
I looked at her happy appearance, and replied with emotion: "The happiest thing in life is to be able to live according to your own wishes, you are very lucky, you have not been trained by her to be a money-making machine, cold-blooded and ruthless!" ”
Yang Qu looked at me with his chin propped up, then nodded, and after a while, he suddenly asked me, "Brother, in your heart, what kind of person do you think our mother is?" ”
I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know. I really don't know, especially after she sacrificed Jin Qiu as a pawn.
After a moment of silence, I also asked her, "What about you, you have lived with her for so long, what do you think of her?" ”
"She? …… It feels quite mysterious, anyway, she will never be like other people's mothers, who can talk to her daughter about life and study, let alone go shopping together...... However, she has given me money to spend over the years, and I still recognize her...... But it always felt like something was missing between us! ”
When Yang Qu said these words, I kept paying attention to her expression, and she didn't look like she was telling a lie. Therefore, my judgment of her at the beginning was still a little wrong...... Yang Jin didn't spoil her as much as I thought. Maybe because she was busy with her career, she also ignored her enough! But this just gave her enough freedom, otherwise she would not have been allowed to study a major in drama performance.
When dinner was about to end, Yang Qu finally mentioned the guitar and Xiao Ai to me, I didn't be a trustworthy person, and told her too much about the past between myself and Xiao Ai. I'm just saying that we broke up because there was too much difference in the concept of life.
Yang Qu just looked at me meaningfully and smiled, and didn't have to ask any further. Maybe she thinks that the coming days are long, and one day I will not be able to hold back my thoughts about Xiao Ai and find someone to talk to.
……
Over the next month, my life in Shanghai began to pick up and start. In the past month, I have done a lot of things, the most important of which is to get Qiao Ye's investment in the bar, and the music bar has officially entered the stage of preparation.
What's more, the smell of autumn has also become stronger after this month, and this flying time inevitably reminds me of a lot of sad things and people who have passed away.
Just like grandma, she has been quietly gone for more than a month; and Xiao Ai...... There is also the old alley and textile factory in Nanjing.
It's time for me to go back and see, and also to see Chen Yi and Jin Qiu......
watched Chen Yi to have an in-depth chat with her about the cooperation between media companies and music bars, and watched Jin Qiu to ......
I don't know why, I just think that as a friend, I should go to see her at this time, she is really sad!
