CHAPTER XXII

Twenty-two arrived in H City, Lei Zhenyu took a taxi to Emilia to drink.

His arrival surprised his two friends, Lao Wei, the shopkeeper of Emilia, and Lin Zixiao, the young man who played the violin. Because they wouldn't have thought that the thunderstorm would come to them at this time, there must have been something very important.

"Why don't you call in advance," Lao Wei said, and glanced back a few times from time to time to make sure that there was no one else behind him. Only then did the thunderstorm move into a single room.

At this time, it was less than two o'clock in the afternoon, which is supposed to be a time when there are many people, but today is a cloudy day, and it is always a rainy day, so the weather will naturally affect business, and there are few people a day.

Lin Zixiao brought him a cup of hot milk and put it in front of him, and sat in front of Lei Zhenyu.

"Did Zhenyu have fun at home these days, did you go out again, where did you go" Zixiao asked, "I didn't go anywhere, I was at home"

"You must have something to do this time," Lao Wei also sat down and hurriedly asked.

"Can't I come if it's okay?"

Zhenyu smiled and asked; "What about the girl a month ago, Zixiao and I both think you are a good match, Zixiao said that you are very accurate, at first glance, it is a girl with excellent appearance, why didn't you come together this time, or was hidden by your golden house"

"Nonsense, when did I have Lei Zhenyu be so dirty, don't call Wei Bicheng in the future, you kid may not be right."

Lao Wei's big name is Wei Bicheng, this name was given by his father, it will become, it will become, it seems to be unstoppable, and it is very easy to call it at home, but it is a problem, this problem was not discovered until the high school entrance examination and the university failed, this name and his Wei surname are very unlucky, and it may not be done.

After falling off the list, relatives and friends said that the name was not good for him to change and change it, and he felt that it was not ideal after changing several of them, either it was not good, or the meaning was unsatisfactory, and then some people said that the name had nothing to do with fate, you see that there is a leader in the central government who is also called Wei Jianxing (not seen Xing), and people don't do the same, and he also became the vice premier of the country.

Hearing others say this, he himself thinks it makes sense, the so-called big husband doesn't change his name or don't change his surname, it didn't take long for him to change it back, but then with the two college entrance examinations failed, he became confused, I don't know if it's his bad luck or his strength is not enough, but he no longer has the slightest doubt about whether it is because of the image of his name, because of this example of a central leader.

The reason was not found in the end, but he no longer had any hope for the college entrance examination, and then returned to the countryside with peace of mind.

A few good classmates and friends are embarrassed to call him this Wei Bicheng's big name, even Bicheng can't be called anymore, it always feels a little weird to call, as if there is a bit of sarcasm in it, so everyone consciously or unconsciously calls him Lao Wei.

Now that Lei Zhenyu is unintentionally talking about his name, Lao Wei also reached out and gently pushed Lei Zhenyu's chest a little unnaturally; "You still exercise my father's rights, change my name, you kid" The three of them also laughed.

"At all times, we must think about others to a sunny place, don't think about which alley to go to, so that we will be more sunny, right?"

Lin Zixiao smiled and said; "Sometimes there is sunshine in the alley in the earthquake rain."

At this time, a guest came in, and Lao Wei said to Lei Zhenyu; "Are you going to have a drink here or go to the private room for a while, or do you have any other activities planned, I have to greet the guests and can't accompany you"

"Go get busy, I'll have a drink here, it's this afternoon, close at five o'clock on time"

Lao Wei didn't seem to hear Lei Zhenyu's words clearly, and said without being surprised at all; "Sit down, come when you're busy"

At this time, Lin Zixiao had already passed first.

After Lao Wei left, there was only one person left in the room, he looked at the familiar goblet in front of him, and suddenly remembered that this was the cup used by Yao Xinli when he and Yao Xinli came a month ago.

He knew that his friend's drinking bar never used such goblets for guests, but when friends and family members came, Lao Wei would take the goblets they used to drink red wine, and the guests used the kind of coffee cups that were used to drink drinks, so that they could put straws in it.

As soon as she and Yao Xinli came in that day, Lao Wei must have regarded her as his girlfriend, so they brought this goblet.

He had taken a closer look at the cup that day, and there was a small mottled flaw left over from the production process on the edge of the base of the cup.

I don't know why, when Lei Zhenyu saw this wine glass now, a faint sadness suddenly rose in his heart, and there was a feeling that time had passed.

Just now, when Lao Wei and Zixiao deliberately mentioned the topic of Yao Xinli, they didn't make Lei Zhenyu's heart shake and react, as if this matter had long been forgotten by him, and it would no longer have any impact on this matter.

During this time, he seemed to have felt that the matter between him and Yao Xinli was just a sudden whim between young people's feelings for each other, and there was no need to treat it as a real thing.

Lei Zhenyu has never been in love, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't crave love with him, it's just that he regards love too sacred, just like what happened between her and Yao Xinli, no matter how he understands and knows it now, and no matter what the other party's intentions are, but in the depths of Lei Zhenyu's heart, this is undoubtedly equivalent to his first love, otherwise he wouldn't have this kind of feeling of seeing things and thinking about people now, and he wouldn't have this faint sadness in his heart.

"Why are you shaking the rain, you have to be in a daze when you look at a cup" Zi Xiao came in first.

"I didn't eat at noon, I'm hungry or not, I'll get some after eating something, or go out to eat," Zixiao asked.

"Do as the locals do, listen to you"

"Okay, let's take it. The waitress went to the neighbor's snack and ordered two dishes."

Zi Xiao was about to go out after speaking, but Lei Zhenyu hurriedly called out to him; "Zi Xiao is not in a hurry, you sit down first and I'll make sure before deciding"

"Say, be sure of what"

"Zixiao, this store has been in place for three years, what is the benefit, is it a loss or a profit?"

Hearing Lei Zhenyu ask, Lin Zixiao sat down a little embarrassed; "Zhenyu our brother and I disappointed you a little, after you left that day, I got together a little, these three years are equal to nothing, if you redeem the store smoothly now, the 200,000 yuan you invested in can still be kept, if it continues to operate, it is difficult to say what the result will be in the future."

Lin Zixiao's face turned a little red after speaking, and he looked at Lei Zhenyu with a little guilt, they are classmates in junior high school, and they have a deep relationship, Lei Zhenyu has been in college here for four years, and they have been here for three and a half years, although Lei Zhenyu can't take care of them in normal times, but I heard that he graduated and left the city this year, it still makes their hearts a little uncomfortable like losing their backbone, I don't know why, with him here, they will feel down-to-earth, once he leaves, They feel as if they have lost their direction about their future, and they feel that they are lost.

They didn't ask Lei Zhenyu about his future whereabouts and plans, and Lei Zhenyu didn't tell them, there is one thing they know in their hearts, Lei Zhenyu will definitely not go into society immediately, they know his personality, and only know Lei Zhenyu's achievements and abilities, in their eyes, Lei Zhenyu is a kind-hearted rich child, there are no lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart, at best, he may be able to make some contributions to the country in stimulating economic growth and stimulating consumption.

But anyway, since elementary school, Lei Zhenyu has been the spiritual leader of the two of them, the foreman, and he likes to obey his decisions no matter what.

"How many guests are there in Zixiao's house now?"

"The weather is bad today, there are fewer guests, there are few people, the evening will be better, there is no change from the past, is there something wrong with the earthquake, look at you when you come in today, your expression is very solemn, not to ask for money."

"Nonsense, call Lao Wei over and I'll give you two a meeting"

"Cut, I'll give you money at the meeting, why don't you cash this store out, say you're fat and you'll gasp, I'll call for service. The waiter called the dishes, and there was no one to eat with you too late."

Zi Xiao finished speaking and was about to leave again.

"Zixiao, I'm not joking with you, go and find Lao Wei, there's something serious"

Without waiting for Zixiao to call, Lao Wei came over.

"How did you decide on the two, it's more than three o'clock"

"You came just in time for Lao Wei, Zhenyu wants to hold a meeting for the two of us."

"Okay, I'll tell you. The attendant came to listen to everything."

"Return. What about the clerk, I didn't see two when I came in, don't talk nonsense, Lao Wei has something to say to you," Lei Zhenyu said to them very seriously.

The two of them didn't say anything more and sat down.

"Zixiao, Lao Wei, I have a plan to ask for your opinions, you can decide by yourself."

"Is it your plan for yourself or for me two?"

As soon as Lei Zhenyu said this, Lao Wei took it and asked.

"I still ask you two about my own plans, my dad and I don't ask, I don't listen to it, I won't tell you if I don't listen."

As soon as the two of them saw that Thunderstorm was real, just like when they were asked to come here three years ago, they immediately thought that Thunderstorm was going to take them to another country again. This surprised them a little, in their hearts Lei Zhenyu must play for a few years before talking, because Lei Zhenyu has long said that he will travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, so that every inch of China will leave his footprints of Lei Zhenyu.

"I plan to go to the southwest, I want to take you with me, are you interested, do you want to go with me?"

"Go, go, let's talk about the specific plan, what are we going to do, do we leave footprints?" Zi Xiao asked.

"It's not about leaving footprints, it's about leaving traces of our youth," Lei Zhenyu said with a serious expression.

So Lei Zhenyu simply told him the idea of going to the southwest province to choose a remote poor mountain village, and using the Lei family's money as a guarantee to lead the villagers out of poverty, and then asked; "How about it, are you interested in doing it with me, you will start planning and studying tonight, if you don't go, I will go to the southwest by myself."

"Yes, yes, we listen to you in the earthquake, but..."

Lao Wei and Zi Xiao said in unison.

Before he could say anything, Lei Zhenyu intercepted him and said; "But what, I will pay the salaries of the two of you according to the standard of the local township civil servants, we eat a group meal, and you two meals are free"

"Where did you say Zhenyu, it's not about money, I'm talking about what to do with this store, do you want to redeem it immediately?"

"Redeem it immediately, the sooner the better, even now, even if it's a loss," Lei Zhenyu said decisively.

"It's such a coincidence, there was a person who came to the neighborhood to see the store this morning and asked us if we could redeem it, and I also left their phone number," Lao Wei said.

"That's great, you contact right away, and I'll let him come tonight," Lei Zhenyu said.

It's such a coincidence, Lao Wei called the phone and the other party came quickly, without too much tongue, the store was originally cashed out, and the person who came immediately put down the deposit, and brought the balance early the next morning and handed it over.

A total of 150,000 yuan, and it is also the investment part of Lei Zhenyu, when he opened this store, Lei Zhenyu gave them 200,000 yuan at a time, and the other 50,000 yuan is considered a loss.

got the money, Lei Zhenyu only left 100,000, and 50,000 was left to them; "Take it, even if I opened this store, the 50,000 yuan will be divided among you as an employee's bonus, and you will be commended for not losing all the money."

Lao Wei and Lin Zixiao also unceremoniously divided the money in front of Lei Zhenyu, and said unceremoniously; "Zhenyu, you should treat us as potential stocks, and one day you will be able to get rich returns with interest"

"Cut, I never thought about what benefits I could make from you when I met you in my life"

When the two of them came, it was a violin and a shaxx pipe, and the luggage was rear-arranged, and the same is true for this time, the luggage was useless for them, and they were all in the share, in addition to these two musical instruments, the two people just added a few more sets of clothes, and a few things were packed in a tow box, no more, no less.

Immediately, the three of them took a taxi to find a star-rated hotel, and booked a ticket there for a Sunday, and the rest of the few days were left for Lao Wei and Lin Zixiao to go home to say goodbye, and they hadn't gone home for a long time.
