Walking up to the fourth floor, there was the sound of Cao Xun's room rummaging through the cabinets, and he knew that this time he was really in a hurry. Pushing open the half-hidden door, Cao Xun turned his back to him and was packing up. Lu Li took a few steps inward, Cao Xun looked back to see that it was him, turned his head disdainfully, and continued to get busy.

"What? Why do you really want to go? ”

"What do you say?" Cao Xun kept in his hand, picked up a box and threw it on the bed, picked up the clothes, folded them without folding them, and threw them in it indiscriminately.

"Okay, I'm wrong, okay?" Lu Li pleaded and said, "Lao Cao, I was wrong, okay?" Don't go, huh? ”

"You think I'm leaving just because you...... Give it to others...... That's it? ”

"So what else? What else am I doing that you're not happy with? ”

"Xiaoxiao, how many years have we buddies? It's been almost twenty years, and now we're following you, and it's always what you say we do, right? Cao Xun sat down angrily, lit a cigarette, and said, "But now I find more and more that the two of us can't go together!" ”

Lu Li was shocked and annoyed, and asked sharply, "What do you say?" ”

"Don't shout, why don't you shout? Now that we've said that, we'll have to make it clear. Let's just say Pengcheng, if you find a relationship through Brother Rong, I can't get used to it! Aren't you going through the back door and doing something unhealthy? To Liu Zhan, before he said a few words, you stuffed him with money, what is your name? Isn't this the bourgeois way of doing things? If you are still a party member, I will blush for you! ”

Luli sneered, "Okay, you go on, I'll hear what else you can say?" Let's see, what kind of person am I, Luley, in your heart? ”

"There's no more, you know what you're doing. To describe it in a sentence of Tian (Tianjin) words. You're not doing things properly! If you continue like this, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later! Xiaoxiao, I'm your old classmate, I advise you, it's almost done, and it will save you a lot of trouble in the future. It's too late for you to turn back. ”

"You don't have to worry about my future, you go on, make it clear."

"Needless to say, this is the thing, I still say the same thing, what you have done, you know it in your own heart." Cao Xun sneered and said: "I'll leave now, let's be clear-eyed and clear with each other - don't worry, I won't leave everything behind now." I always have to hand over all these things that I am responsible for -- so that I don't have to worry about this or that problem in the future. ”

The green tendons on Lu Li's forehead jumped suddenly, and when Cao Xun said such words, it can be seen that separation is inevitable! "Cao Xun, you ......"

"Don't say anything else, I've thought about this for a long time, and after I go back, I'll go back to work. When you go home in the future, if you remember that I was your classmate. Just go and see me, and you and your sister-in-law will get married. Thinking of telling me; If you don't want to, then forget it. Oh, there's another section, I don't want the dividend money, I'll stay with you for a few days first, and wait until the matter is clear. I'll go home. ”

"Cao Xun, you ......" Lu Li took a painful breath and tried his best to persuade: "We have been doing it for so many years, and I also said at the beginning, if I find that I have done something wrong." A few of you brothers pointed it out to me bluntly, if it is indeed me who did something wrong, I will definitely change it, you ...... You didn't say a word from beginning to end, and now you say you're leaving, what's going on? ”

"I said you? Why should I say you? Buying and selling has always been done by you, and our brothers are all helping you, and we get the salary you give every month......"

"You...... Cao Xun, you tell me the truth, do you think you have less money? I can add money to you. ”

"Fuck you!" Cao Xun scolded, "Who are you taking me Cao Xun for?" I don't do a good national unit, I follow you from south to north, you think it's just for money? ”

"I know, I know, I was wrong, I said the wrong thing." Lu Li urgently defended, and his delicate face turned red, "Lao Cao, even if I beg you, can't you?" Don't go. If there is anything in the future, I will discuss it with you, okay? ”

Cao Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Xiaoxiao, don't you understand what's going on?" You're not as good as me in that regard. I've seen it now, it's your nature to do anything about it! Even if you assure me, it's useless. It's really coming to an end, and you're still going to use all kinds of means to make money just like you do today, regardless of whether it's illegal or not. ”

Luli opened his mouth weakly, and there was no way to build a word! Cao Xun saw it, sighed, picked up the clothes that fell on the ground again, and put them in the box, "Xiaoxiao, forget it." The two of us are also separated, although I don't do it with you anymore, but really, I really wish your business more and more prosperous. ”

Lu Li nodded, his heart was suddenly filled with a huge sense of frustration, he lowered his head and walked a few steps towards the door, turned around and said, "Cao Xun, maybe you will be ashamed of many of my practices,...... Well, I don't know how to explain it to you, but I want to tell you that your strong sense of morality can make you particularly commendable, but it can also make you very painful. ”

Cao Xun didn't speak, just looked back at him, looking at him with a firm look in his bright eyes, "Cao Xun, really, or you can't notice anything now, but I think that in a few years, people like me, or people who have no bottom line than me, will be more and more flooded in all corners of society - you believe me, I definitely don't mean to curse you, but this is a development that I can foresee very deeply, really as mentioned in "The Snake Catcher Says", gold and jade, The scum of the rugs even appeared in the seats of the country's top leaders. Think about it, if that's the case, what are you going to do? ”

Cao Xun thought about it for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "How come I never know, you can still foresee things in the future?" ”

"Of course I can't foresee it, it's just my speculation. Do you remember what I said to you when you and Xu Yunjian went to Yangcheng for the first time? Our youth is money, the goods we sell are also money, and similarly, directors like Li Chengsheng have the power in their hands also money. By the time they realize this, China will be different. Did I say that? ”

"You don't have to convince me what happened back then. I'm determined to go. ”

"I'm not trying to persuade you at all, I'm just trying to state a fact to you. When did I say that? July and August of '79, right? Until now, two whole years. So many people in Yangcheng and Pengcheng in China have begun to be familiar with and calmly accept the situations I said. What would happen in another three and five years? ”

Cao Xun shook his head and said, "I know you have a strong mouth, I didn't mention it when I was a child, but now I stutter." No one can say anything about you. But whether I can argue with you is one thing, and whether I can go away or not is another. ”

"I know it's something else. I just want to tell you that this kind of character of yours is going to suffer. ”

"I also chose to suffer by myself. You don't care. ”

"Well," Luli no longer persuaded him, but asked, "So, what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

"If you don't say anything, go back to work. Riding my bike. Then send letters and newspapers to people. ”

"Things are not as simple as you think, Cao Xun ,......" Lu Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's do this, you go back to Tian (Tianjin), I won't stop you, but there is one condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"Try it when you get back, if you think it works. You're going to go back to work, or else. How about you come back to me? ”

Cao Xun was a little puzzled, "What does it mean to be okay and what is not to be done?" ”

"It's very simple, if you can go back to work at the post and telecommunications office smoothly, I won't say anything; If some resistance is encountered. Regardless of where all this resistance comes from, you come back, how about it? When the time comes, how about you accompany Liang Wei and her sister and brother back together? ”

Cao Xun laughed at his words, and grinned sincerely. smiled: "Xiaoxiao, are you confused?" When I first came out, I only took a long vacation at the unit, and now I go back to work, what's not to do? Besides, since I chose to leave, how can I turn back? ”

"That's just your wishful thinking, Cao Xun, I'm not pouring cold water on you, you want to go back to work, it's definitely not as easy as you imagined."

"Oh? Why? ”

Lu Li seemed to have come out of his depression at this moment, and said in a cohesive tone: "I can't explain the specifics to you. I still say the same thing, I admire your strong sense of morality, but at a time like now, and in the years to come, your character is destined to hit a wall everywhere! This time, it's a lesson. I let you know that there are not many people in the world who are as good as me - don't laugh, it's not a joke with you. At that time, you will know that even in the relatively inland Tianjin (Tianjin), there are a lot of people who are much worse than me Luli. ”

"Okay, if I really answer your words, I'll turn around and come back. When the time comes, I'll follow you with all my heart, how about it? ”

"Didn't say that." Lu Li nodded briskly, "But you can't leave right now, you have to help me finish this first large-scale vegetable transportation before you can leave, okay?" ”

"Of course, that's what I was going to do."

****************************************

Cao Xun's sudden departure made Lu Li very distressed. Unlike Xu Yunjian, Li Tiehan and others, Cao Xun is calm and serious, and more importantly, he is delicate, let him be responsible for the details of the store's accounts and other details, he is both relieved and comfortable, and he can't think of leaving because of a little detail? didn't say whether he could leave him, only said that after he left, who would hand over the mess he left behind, it made him very sad.

I have the heart to persuade the other party again, but I don't think it's necessary, Cao Xun's words have already said this, what more do you say? He stood in the restaurant on the first floor, his eyebrows frowned, and the cats saw that he was in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to come over to disturb, so when they had to pass by him, they all leaned sideways, as if avoiding cats and mice, "That, Chu Yu, Meng Xiaofei?" ”

"Lu Sheng......" The two girls approached a little timidly, and stood in front of him respectfully, "Do you have something to look for us?" ”

"From now on, you two will follow Lao Cao and learn about the accounts and files in the store. He had something to do temporarily and wanted to go back to the mainland. ”

"Uh......" The two news came too suddenly, and the two daughters were beaten stupid. Speaking of which, for these people, Cao Xun is closer, after all, they can meet every day, Lu Li is because he is a big boss, and because he often travels between Guangdong and Hong Kong, there is a sense of alienation. "Solution...... Well, I mean, why did Brother Cao leave? ”

"It's not up to you to ask, I'm going to ask you now, would you like to learn from him?"

"Yes, of course."

"Well, I'll tell him later, and let him get some of the items in the store to you as soon as possible. Especially the accounts," Luley paused and said, "I don't ask much of my subordinates, and the main thing is that you can't lie to me. It's okay if you make mistakes occasionally, if you dare to lie to me, I will never leave a second chance, once I find out, I will settle the bill for you, and you will leave immediately, you know? ”

"Know, know, Lu Sheng, don't worry, I won't lie."

Chu Yu said urgently: "I won't lie, don't worry." ”

Luli nodded, thinking about what else he had to tell them? For a while, he couldn't find any topic, so at this moment, a few people walked in outside the store, he threw down these messy thoughts, piled up a professional smile, and greeted him, "Hello, welcome." ”

The three men and two women who came in nodded with a smile and said, "Here's a hot pot." ”

"Okay, you can take a seat, please take a seat." Lu Li beckoned the five of them to sit down, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "We have added a new Sichuan-style hot pot here, which is a successful new experiment, and the taste is different, would you like to try it?" Oh, and by the way, this hot pot is particularly spicy. If you can eat and love to eat, you are blessed. ”

Several people looked up in amazement, and the first one said, "Sichuan flavor...... Chafing dish? What do you mean? ”

"That is, a flavor from Sichuan, Chinese mainland."

"Oh, you know, you know, they love chili peppers! Have a taste? ”

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll be right here."

He remade a pot of hot soup as quickly as he could, lifted it lightly to the table, plugged in the ventilation pipe, bowed down and smiled: "Look, there is a partition in the middle, one side is spicy soup, and the other side is clear soup, you have to love spicy food, just one side, otherwise it's on the other side." Would you like to try it first? ”

A man smiled and nodded, took a plate of beef from the conveyor belt, picked it up and put it in the pot, and after a while, he fished it out, the beef was stained with bright red hot spicy sauce, he took a bite carefully, and his tongue immediately stretched out, "It's so spicy!" ”

As soon as he said this, several of his companions didn't dare to get off the chopsticks, "Is it spicy?" ”

"Well, spicy, very spicy, but also very delicious, you guys, hurry up and taste ......, oops, it's spicy, but it's delicious, it's delicious!" (To be continued......)
