In late December, a small West African country near the equator is still experiencing heat waves, and due to its abundant beach resources, tourism, a green industry, has slowly become an important part of the country's economy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Roberts Harbor is just a small fishing village with a population of only a few thousand people, and it is not even a town in China.

On the beach, Bacchus, dressed in shorts, sits topless in a recliner and behind him is a newly built seaside villa, surrounded by men in camouflage uniforms, holding AK-47s in their hands, fingers on triggers, and eyes looking around warily.

It's hard to associate him with an ordinary student in the imperial capital, but this is how Bacchus has changed less than a year later, and of course he enjoys it now, and he can't forget the person who made it happen.

"Master, Huaxia Long Distance." When the phone was handed to one of his men, his eyes were still wandering over a few blondes in the distance, and now was not the best time to surf, until June or July next year, it would be crowded, especially beautiful women.

"Oh, who's that?" Bacchus reluctantly withdrew his gaze and asked casually.

"He didn't say it, he just said it was an old friend."

Bacchus took the phone indifferently, although it has entered the 21st century, the communication foundation of this small country is still very weak, even this kind of mobile phone on the rotten street in China, can not achieve smooth communication, fortunately he got a relatively good line through the relationship, otherwise this business can not be done at all.

"Hi, I'm Bacchus." After habitually speaking a word of English, he switched to Mandarin, and this transformation was so natural that it had reached the point of perfection.

"Bacchus, remember me? One day a few months ago, we had a conversation about ideals and futures, my friend, do you regret it now? ”

"How come, Mr. Liu, don't underestimate my memory, although you haven't looked for me since then, but I still remember every word you said that day, if it weren't for you, I might still be engaged in a leisurely job in Huaxia, and from time to time I can still have such an affair in a bar in Houhai, you must know that the girl in Huaxia is so charming, I can often dream of it now."

His laughter rang out from the earpiece, it was obvious that both parties were satisfied with the result at the moment, Bacchus didn't expect it to be Liu Yu's call, he got up from the beach chair and walked around the beach barefoot.

"After listening to your words, I believe that persuading you to return to China at the beginning was a great move to save the female compatriots in the imperial capital, Bacchus, you should go and harm the beautiful African girl."

"Liu, you are too bad, when I talk to you in the future, I can have a few more eyes, so as not to be sold by you and help count the money." Thanks to several years of studying abroad in China, he can not only speak fluent Mandarin, but also pop out a few colloquialisms from time to time.

After a few idle words, Bacchus of course understood that the other party suddenly made such a phone call, it was impossible to catch up, and he returned to the topic with a smile: "Say, old friend, what do you want Bacchus to do." ”

"You're too smart, I'll have to be more mindful in the future, well, I'll admit it's about money." Liu Yu deliberately paused for a moment, and then said: "I am about to get married recently, you know, according to Chinese customs, as my old friend, you must show your sincerity, how big the red envelope is, it means how deep our relationship is, of course, if I can see you in the imperial capital, it will be my honor." ”

"my_god, you're not married?" Bacchus exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I thought your children were all soy sauce, well, I have to congratulate you, can you tell me, who is the bride, pretty?" Have I ever seen it, I know all the female colleagues in the company, who do you fall in love with? ”

"Damn, you dog nose, so smart, tens of thousands of kilometers away." Liu Yu scolded with a smile, and continued to fool him without changing his face: "You should have heard of it, I used to be my assistant, and recently I acted as the general manager, Su Wei." ”

"She? It's so sad to be your woman, I've seen photos on the company's homepage, it's so beautiful, and I'm going to find an opportunity to show my hospitality, but now it seems that there is no fun. Bacchus picked up in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong with Lao Guo, why did the company change its general manager, and no one mentioned such a big thing to me?" ”

Institutionally speaking, the branch located in this country is also part of Haichang, of course, now it is basically Bacchus alone, and according to the agreement signed by Liu Yu and him, he will get ten percent of the shares every year, for five years, when he will become a formal partner, and now he is still nominally an employee of Liu Yu, the highest paid employee in the company.

For a long time, the trade with this country is a fat man, the two have been dealing with each other for almost a year, and suddenly there is a different person, he must ask one more sentence, and Liu Yu is waiting for him, otherwise the words in front of him will be in vain, you must know that this is an international long distance.

"He's in some trouble, he's been framed, he's involved in a case, and he's going to go to jail." Liu Yu lowered his tone: "Old friend, I need you to do me a favor, count me as owing you a favor." ”

"What do you say first?" Bacchus was clearly not as easy to deceive as he thought.

"That's right, the other party is a foreigner, in order to get Lao Guo in prison, diplomatic pressure was used, I want you to do me a favor, at least let Lao Guo get a fair trial."

Putting down the phone, Bacchus looked back into the distance, where several yachts were departing, and the men and women on deck were laughing and playing, most of them tourists from the West, who chose this place not because of the beautiful scenery, but because the country was one of the poorest regions in the world, and the cost was much cheaper.

Although he understood this truth before, he really felt it after returning from studying in China, and the prosperity of China was in stark contrast to the hometown he saw, a country rich in minerals and extremely advantageous in geographical location, reduced to the point where it could not even afford to eat, and the various factions in the country were still fighting for power and territory, which was not at all like the social form of the 21st century.

To change, you need money, compared to the cheap grabbing of Western countries, Huaxia is a worthy trading partner, in just half a year, he has achieved remarkable results, his prestige among the tribe has gradually risen, and the voice he has become more and more important, and all this stems from that conversation a few months ago.

Almost in an instant, Bacchus made a decision, even if he was used by the other party, at least he had to have the value of using it first, kindness and righteousness have always been relative, and if you want to take it, you have to give it first, which is the spiritual wealth accumulated by the ancient Chinese nation for thousands of years that he learned during his study abroad career.

"Uncle Augustine, I'm Bacchus, I want to visit you, when do you think it's appropriate? Tonight, all right, then I can get a taste of Aunt Louis's handiwork, then you get busy first, and we'll see you in the evening. ”

In an ordinary small courtyard in the west of the imperial capital, Zhong Ming walked into the house excitedly, the yard was very clean, the ground was cleaned spotlessly, and there were rows of flowers and plants planted on the edge of the yard.

"Auntie, where's my mother."

"Oh, when I heard that you were coming back, I even robbed me of my work and cooked it myself." A middle-aged woman smiled and pointed behind her, from where came the sound of "zizi" frying, and the strong smell of sauce, Zhong Ming took an exaggerated breath and ran past her into the kitchen.

She hadn't been back for a long time, but as soon as she stepped into the kitchen door, a figure who was turning over the pot turned around, revealing a kind face.

"Girl, are you willing to come back to see your mother?"

"Mom......" Zhong Ming at this time, only the attachment of being a child is left, and he can no longer see the wind and fire of a soldier.

"You kid, why are you still crying, your dad will come back and see it in a while, and he will laugh at you." Mother Zhong put down the pot, her eyes were filled with tears: "Your father has always regretted that incident, he knew this, he would definitely not do that, but now it's too late to say anything, don't look at his hard mouth, his heart has actually been soft for a long time, don't be too tough for a while, he is old, and his body is not as good as before......"

"Don't worry, Mom, I have something to ask him." Zhong Ming burst into tears and laughed, no matter what happened, after so long, she couldn't hate anymore, because it was her father after all, and the starting point was also for her sake.

"Father and daughter, what do you want or not?"

Mother Zhong sighed in her heart, things are irreparable, they almost lost this daughter, and the daughter has lost the happiness of a lifetime, some things, lost is lost, and can never come back.

She forcibly endured the tears that were about to rush out of her eyes, and swallowed the words of persuasion into her stomach, her daughter's temper was a copy of her Lao Tzu, as strong as a cow, but when she saw her daughter's thin face, she thought that she had survived for so many years, and saw that the best years had passed in vain, how could she be reluctant?

Father Zhong almost came back on his feet, the moment his car stopped at the door, the room became quiet, Zhong Ming sat at the dining table, listening to the footsteps approaching little by little, even his heartbeat followed the ground tighter and tighter.
