It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when I drove to Shannan University. When the car arrived at the school gate, I saw a big word "demolition" written on the old taste of the local restaurant, and the windows and lattices were nowhere to be found, only the boxy empty door holes were exposed.

After breaking up with Ai Min, Wang Qiao no longer remembered the old taste of the local restaurant, parked the car outside the school gate, and walked to the campus to find Zhao Bo.

Zhao Bo's video studio was still the same, and when he walked to the door, he heard bursts of gunfire. When he entered the door, he saw a shiny head sitting behind a shabby desk, Zhao Bo didn't look up, and said, "Three yuan and one ticket, you can watch two shows, and ten yuan will pass the venue." ”

In the video studio, there were more than 20 students who were attentive to the video, and there were two girls who accompanied her boyfriend to watch the video. This scene is too familiar, but it produces a sense of unreality. He and Du Jianguo strode into the society to find their own piece of sky. Zhao Bo is still standing still in place for the love that does not know the result, and he is willing to give up his job and put a video on the campus.

Wang Qiao raised his hand and slapped it towards the shiny head.

Zhao Bo opened his mouth and scolded: "Holy shit, which one hit me." He slapped the table and stood up like an angry leopard. When he saw the person who came clearly, he came up and punched him in the chest, and said: "I thought it was someone who ate the leopard gall and broke ground on the Tai Sui Ye, it turned out to be Brother Man, when did he come." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Why are you guarding here alone, and your men didn't come?" ”

Zhao Bo said: "Guy, after the evening self-study, I will do it for me." Wu Pei will come over in a while, and we will go outside to drink together. ”

When he was in college, Wang Qiao often spent time in the video studio in his free time, and met many boring classmates who were interested in video. Half of today's 20 or so people are old acquaintances, and after a video was played, they greeted the "barbarian brother" when they left.

After evening self-study, the work-study junior took over Zhao Bo's position. Wang Qiao and Zhao Bo came to the place where Wu Pei must pass, smoked cigarettes, and waited for her.

For more than half an hour, I saw a petite figure under the street lamp from a distance, it was Wu Pei, who looked like Su Sanmei.

The three of them went to the barbecue stall outside the school gate to drink night beer and eat barbecue. Wang Qiao keenly noticed that Wu Pei and Zhao Bo's happiness was full of disguise. It seems to have been deliberately done to create an atmosphere.

After drinking a few bottles of beer, Zhao Bo went conveniently.

Wang Qiao said: "Wu Pei, are you having trouble with Zhao Bo?" ”

Wu Pei let out a long sigh like an adult, and said, "I'm not happy for a while, and he is not happy. ”

Wang Qiao said: "What is the reason? ”

Wu Pei said: "My family wants me to study abroad, and I want to too." However, Zhao Bo didn't want to work for me, so he put a video here, and I left. It's not interesting. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I have always disapproved of him staying in school to show videos, I should find a serious job in Shannan, work and love are not contradictory, but complement each other." ”

Wu Pei said aggrievedly: "Brother Man, I'm very conflicted now, what do you think I should do?" ”

Wang Qiao was silent for a while and said, "Love can't become a burden on both parties, otherwise it will be kidnapping." Qingpi and I are iron buddies. But I'm going to say it anyway. ”

Wu Pei looked at Wang Qiao seriously and said, "Thank you, Brother Man." Let's be honest. Until now, I really feel that falling in love with Zhao Bo has become a burden, and every time I have this thought, I have to feel guilty. But this is really what I really think. I've been with him for the past two years, and I'm still going to go abroad when it's time to go abroad. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Does he know what you think?" ”

Wu Pei said: "He knows. ”

Wang Qiao didn't know how to persuade them, held back for a while, and said, "Then cherish every day now." ”

It is convenient for Zhao Bo to come back. Beckoned the boss to his side and said, "Three portions of squid, three portions of leeks, and six bottles of beer." ”

Among the three friends of Shandong University, Du Jianguo has the best amount of wine. Wang Qiao is second, Zhao Bo is the worst, but in most of the wine formations, Zhao Bo is the most vocal, and the same is true today. When Zhao Bo finished drinking the fourth bottle of beer, his eyes began to be bloodshot, and he pulled Wang Qiao to talk about his life after graduation.

"Brother Man, I am now Longyin Jianghu, and I have to get up sooner or later...... My dream is not to be an official, but to be a lawyer and open a law firm...... Don't look down on me, I'm studying law, and I'm going to get a lawyer's license within a year...... The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin...... When Wu Pei graduates, I will go out to open a law firm, and if you have a lawsuit in the future, you will come to me, and you will definitely get a 20% discount......"

Wang Qiao listened carefully to Zhao Bo's drinking words, and he could tell from the drinking words that his current life was not satisfactory.

When he was able to enter the Bureau of Justice but did not, this choice may or may not be right. Fortunately, he is still young and has enough time to start over, and has the capital to validate his choices and correct his mistakes.

This conversation was an hour, and seeing that it was twelve o'clock, Wu Pei yawned and said, "Brother Man, there is an exam tomorrow, and I want to go back to sleep." Let Zhao Bo accompany you to continue drinking. ”

Wang Qiao chatted with Zhao Bo for more than an hour, and he was a little tired, and said: "I have to do something tomorrow, and the wine will end here." ”

Check out, leave.

Zhao Bo staggered when he walked, and his drunkenness was undoubtedly revealed. Wang Qiao had no choice but to take him by the arm and escort him to the school. Zhao Bo lived in an empty house next to the video studio, and Wu Pei usually did not live in this house, and only temporarily lived here when he really could not return to the dormitory.

Back at the rental room, Zhao Bo took out a bottle of beer from the corner of the house. Wang Qiao saw that Wu Pei was quite angry with Zhao Bo's drunkenness, so he grabbed the beer and said, "I want to go back to the Washington community at night and stay up all night watching TV, this bottle of beer belongs to me." ”

Zhao Bo also wanted to grab the beer, but was pushed away by Wang Qiao. Wang Qiao said: "I drink beer, you drink drinks, and then a whole bottle." ”

Wu Pei turned over a bag of unopened peanuts in the house as an appetizer.

After drinking this bottle of beer, Wang Qiao said goodbye and went to the Washington community.

Waiting for Wang Qiao to leave, Wu Pei complained: "Every time you drink too much, you will be verbose, like a drunken old woman." ”

Zhao Bo stripped off his shirt, lay on the bed, and said, "Brother Man came to see me, what do you have to drink two more cups?" I don't usually drink alcohol, and the last time I got drunk was with your classmates. It's not about your face, who will pay attention to those little kids. ”

Wu Pei said: "You are only three levels higher than us, and you are a little kid." She took a toothbrush to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, and when she came out, Zhao Bo was already snoring.

Wu Pei took off Zhao Bo's shoes. Move its feet to the bed. Lying beside him, he remembered his parents' resolute opposition to his love affair with Zhao Bo, and secretly felt sad.

Wang Qiao has always been not optimistic about the love between Zhao Bo and Wu Pei, and his view of love is now very realistic: in the case of not being strong, love can only be a mirage, and he can't afford the twists and turns of life.

Half past seven in the morning. Wang Qiao was still sleeping, and Du Jianguo and Chen Xiuya came to Huarong Community.

"So early." Wang Qiao opened the door and saw that Chen Xiuya was also outside the door, so he hurriedly returned to the bedroom to put on his coat and pants.

Chen Xiuya said: "My mother heard that my father was going to do business in partnership with others, and she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep, so she woke me up early in the morning and asked me to understand. Ever since my dad's accident, my mom has become very suspicious and doesn't trust anyone. My dad and I both said that the partner was the eldest sister of Brother Man. What else can you believe? ”

Du Jianguo is fat and strong, and his heart is equally broad-minded, and he said: "We still have to understand long live, since your mother wants you to ask again, let's come and ask, and follow her heart, this is not a matter of principle." ”

Chen Xiuya glanced at Du Jianguo happily.

Wang Qiao made tea for the two classmates and said, "Let me be blunt. My sister and Chen Xiuya and his father cooperate to get what they need. My sister and Zhao Hai are willing to invest, and Chen Xiuya and his father have good skills. The province's transportation system is deeply connected, and this background is important for a start-up company. As for how much of their shares each has, it's their internal affair, and it's up to them to figure it out, and I'm just in charge of the introduction. ”

Du Jianguo patted Chen Xiuya on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your mother is worrying." Zhao Hai and the eldest sister are funders, they are not afraid of being deceived, what are you afraid of as a bare-bones commander like your father? At most, it doesn't make money, and you won't lose money to go in. ”

Chen Xiuya said: "It's useless for you to tell me, the key is to make my mother believe it." ”

Wang Qiao added: "The partnership still has to be fate." If the three of them don't like each other when they get together, it won't work out. My principle is very simple, if you can get together, you can't be compatible, and if you can't be compatible, you can't force it. ”

The three chatted for a while about starting a company in partnership, and the topic turned to Zhao Bo.

Chen Xiuya said: "I think Zhao Bo is hippie on the surface, but in essence he is innocent in his heart, so he did the absurd thing of not working and staying at school to cultivate love." ”

Wang Qiao said: "He is now feeling the pressure of life, but he doesn't want to admit it. A man has to go through setbacks to mature, maybe after this incident, his outlook on love and career will mature. I talked to Wu Pei, this girl is very mature, and she clearly said that she would go to study abroad after graduating from college. ”

Chen Xiuya said: "As a woman, I will not trust this kind of man who has no career, love is beautiful, but it can't be eaten, and successful love is based on the corresponding material foundation." She was originally a girl who loved Qiong Yao very much, but her father's experience made her precocious and left Qiong Yao, who does not eat fireworks in the world, aside.

Wang Qiao said: "I hope that after Wu Pei goes abroad, Zhao Bo can come to his senses." ”

At this time, Du Jianguo's mobile phone rang, it was the phone number of Chen Xiuya's mother Li Molin.

Du Jianguo walked to the balcony with his mobile phone and patiently explained the partnership to Li Molin. As soon as he put down the phone, Chen Qiang's phone called: "Jianguo, Aunt Li is suspicious, don't let Brother Man know." Brother Man is kind-hearted, knowing that Aunt Li's attitude will be unhappy. ”

Not long after Du Jianguo and Chen Xiuya left, Wang Xiao drove to Huarong Community.

Wang Qiao handed his passbook to the eldest sister and said, "I only took 20,000 yuan as my daily expenses, and all the casual fees of the old taste local restaurant are here as my investment." ”

Wang Xiaodao: "This is your hard-earned money, it would be a pity if the investment failed." ”

Wang Qiao smiled: "You use it boldly, and the failure of the investment is just a new beginning." ”

He used a lyric that encouraged laid-off workers to start a new business, and the lyrics were beautiful to sing, but it was too hard for middle-aged people to start all over again. Wang Xiao knew the hardships, so he put away the passbook very solemnly, and said: "In the past, my father used to say that there can be several fights in life, and our two sisters and brothers have to fight again. ”

Wang Qiao said: "We are still young, and we have the capital to start over if we fail, so we can be bold." ”

At ten o'clock, Wang Xiao, Chen Qiang, Wang Qiao and Du Jianguo found a quiet private room in the teahouse and officially met.

After Wang Qiao asked the three of them to meet, he took the initiative to withdraw and went outside to meet Chen Xiuya and Du Jianguo. The three of them came to a nearby teahouse, and after sitting down, Du Jianguo took out the small chess pieces he carried with him. Chen Xiuya played against two men alone, not falling behind at all, more precisely, she had the upper hand, using the "horse" technique, and mercilessly stepped on the two men on the horse again and again, just like that time in the country teahouse.

Wang Qiao said: "Fat Dun, admit defeat, the two of us together can't match Chen Xiuya's IQ." ”

Du Jianguo's eyes were still looking at the small chessboard, and he said: "I don't believe it, if you look at the chess game every day, you won't be able to win once." ”

Wang Qiao stopped helping, because helping was a little more chaotic. He sat next to him and drank tea, his mind flying in the teahouse, and then slid out of the teahouse and soared freely in the sky.

Approaching twelve o'clock, Wang Qiao received a call from his sister.

Wang Xiaodao: "After talking for two hours, Chen Qiang is not bad, there is the possibility of cooperation, and he can continue to contact." ”
