Walking out of the café, the ground was wet, but this did not prevent the sunlight from freely passing through this ancient city, I looked back at the coffee shop behind me, and the woman sitting quietly in front of the window, and then looked at the rain under my feet, and suddenly felt that the heavy rain had turned this alley upside down, and in such a fun, I stepped on the water trail and walked back......

Passing by a snack bar, I stopped to buy a few steamed buns and a cup of rice porridge, and walked while eating, and it was already the sun setting when I walked back to the hostel.

Li Shi is still the same as last time, standing in the dusk, drawing the outline of the hostel, she is still so calm and calm, with her own hardcore hobbies, living very elegantly, how can she be like me, crushed by life.

This evening, with a tired body, I washed up early and lay down in bed, thinking that I could fall asleep quickly, but unexpectedly, the dim light provoked people, and I forced the gap in the strict curtains to get in, and my mind quickly fell into this whirlpool of light, and I returned to the scene when I first came to the hostel a few years ago......

At that time, compared with now, I was more like an idealist, the family economy was not burdened, just out of school, I like to start a business, and the decisions I made were more emotional, rather than abiding by the trajectory of reality, many things were done under the control of dreams, for example, I could vote for 500,000 lottery prizes to Lao Gou to do business, I only hope that he will do a good job in the "Youtu Youth Hostel", in the later period when the company's finances were tight, I was busy pulling business, while using my own salary to maintain the hostel.

When I lent money to Lao Gou, I was able to lend him all the money with just a handwritten IOU, so that I lost the IOU later, and now it has become a headless debt with no evidence. It's not that I was too pushy at that time, but at that time, Lao Gou was really not like now, at that time he was still full of black hair, could play a variety of musical instruments, could sing a song to his own taste, talked about ideals forever young, and could do things with his chest......

During this time, whenever I was angry, I would always call him an "old dog" from time to time, which was not an insult, but I felt that his change was too unexpected and disappointing, until I really lost the hostel I realized: after getting along with him for a long time, I would rather be friends with dogs, because dogs are always dogs, and people are sometimes not people......

Now, the hostel is no longer my hostel, the only thing that remains unchanged is that it is still depressed day after day, I have no reason to stay here anymore, when Meng Meng left in the morning, I saw a kind of "farewell" in her eyes, this terrible thought in my heart is becoming more and more difficult to wave, for a moment, I will suddenly realize that this "farewell" is coming in advance......

As time progressed, the light through the gap in the curtains became darker and darker, and finally melted into the night, like a naughty boy who had to be pulled home by his parents no matter how hearty he was.

I thought, I'm leaving, too......

……

Tired, I plan my life after leaving the hostel, I will not go back to the headquarters, but Mengmeng's illness still has to prepare a large amount of medical expenses, so I can't be unemployed, the peak travel season is coming, I want to take advantage of this quarter to earn more, and then in the off-season, I can take a period of time to accompany Mengmeng......

In the past two years, the painful life has made me dare not express my true emotions, because I am afraid that I will fall into a situation where there is no way out, just like I have not dared to confess my true thoughts to Jingqi, even if I know that such cowardice will end in a tragic ending after all...... I never regret who I met, and if I do, I will only regret watching the person I met drift away, and I have no way to keep it.

There are too many helplessness in life, we can't change it, and we can't change it, and what's worse is that we lose the idea of changing...... In the end, those vivid pictures became the never-fading memories in my heart, meeting all the way, parting all the way......

……

The next morning, I sorted out the belongings one by one and tried to restore them to their original appearance, but the marks on the white walls rubbed by the bed were difficult to repair.

After packing up my belongings, I pondered to find a suitable job and pulled things over, after coming out of the hostel, I went to various recruitment, left the application letter and waited for the interview, so I spent the morning alone, and was worried about how to spend the afternoon, but unexpectedly received a call from Qu Sen, who said that he was not busy in the afternoon and wanted to ask me to sit again.

Last time, I broke up unhappily because of Jiang Laiyue's matter, but this time it was different, I wished he would find me and jump to "Laiyue", so that I could find a job. Last time, I was stubborn not to retreat, thinking about the livelihood of the hostel everywhere, and now, I just want to find a stable job and live for reality.

……

At half past two in the afternoon, Qu Sen and I met at a teahouse, and he didn't have any high-ranking pretenses, but put his arm around my shoulders as before, and asked, "What to drink?" ”

"Pick the good ones!"

Behind a partition, we sat across from each other, I asked for green tea, and he ordered black tea.

When old friends meet, the topic is always the youth and beauty of his student days, and we first talked about some of his experiences and feelings in college, and then talked about the topic to serious things.

"Qu Sen, is your company still recruiting people now?"

"There are still ten days to go until the annual tourism festival, and every company is hiring, that's for sure."

I nodded.

"What, you want to come here? What about hostels? ”

"Although I love that place, but it doesn't help at all, now that it has been occupied by others, I can't resist it, because the gap between us is too big, if it's just a momentary persistence, it may ruin a series of things, to be precise, I'm now admitting defeat......"

Speaking of this, my heart fluttered, but Qu Sen didn't give me too much space to think, he continued: "It's a wise choice to leave, last time Mr. Jiang personally recruited you, which shows that she has seen "Youtu" very thoroughly, if you take the initiative to contact her yourself, I want to enter the important department of the company There is still a play." ”

Qu Sen's advice and persuasion made me fall into silence, and said for a while: "Actually, it doesn't matter what position I hold, what I want to do is to make some money, and then live a quiet life and spend time with my family." ”

After listening to my words, he sighed, with an expression that it was not easy for anyone to live, and after a while, he said to me: "At that time, you were the best student in our class, and it would be a pity if you didn't do this." ”

I was silent, in fact, this was the first time Qu Sen told me about those memories that have gone away, who doesn't want to stick to the direction of their dreams, but we are too alone and lack the courage to confront society.

……

After some small talk, Qu Sen took a sip of the teacup and said, "Is Youtu Youth Hostel planning to sell it recently?" ”

I didn't immediately respond to this, but just looked at him, and I didn't know his motives.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Where did you hear that?"

Qu Sen looked at me a little incredulously, and then said confidently: "You don't have to hide it from me, Mr. Jiang is ready to build the entire scenic spot into his own business empire, since the hostel plans to make a move, she will naturally pay attention to this aspect of the dynamics, and it is bound to win!" ”

"She doesn't think about losses?"

"Laiyue Travel Agency receives so many customers every year, and has already become a leader in the industry, which you should have heard, and you are still worried about no guests?"

I wondered, if this is the case, after Jiang Laiyue wins the hostel, I will apply for a position, will I be able to continue to manage the hostel? No one in the whole area is more familiar with the hostel environment than I am, and if that were the case, the hostel would have been spared the fate of being demolished or remodeled.

"I knew that there was such a good thing, I shouldn't have returned Jiang Laiyue so resolutely last time."

"Why don't I call Mr. Jiang again and ask?"

"Isn't it?"

Qu Sen looked at me with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said in disbelief: "Yu Hang, what age is this, you can't make money if you want to be faced, you have to go out open-mindedly......"

I was silent for a long time, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you fight, just bet on it, look at fate, and of course it depends on the mood of the female president!" ”

Qu Sen took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and after a while of waiting, he answered the phone, and then I saw him nod his head and answer respectfully until he hung up.

"How?"

"Mr. Jiang will come over in person later, so let you wait for a while."

Talking about this, I remembered what I said to Jiang Laiyue last time, and I felt depressed again, and asked Qu Sen: "I refused in person last time, and it's not good to apply again today, right?" ”

Qu Sen stared at me for a long time and was silent, and finally said to me in laughter: "Don't bother yourself, I don't think Mr. Jiang will come all the way to trouble you, let's hurry up and change to a private room." ”

I was speechless, but it made sense to think about it.

……

Twenty minutes later, through the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room, the red Porsche 911 finally appeared in my sight, after the car stopped, I saw Jiang Laiyue carrying a handbag, walking into the teahouse with the steps of a career queen, she was just casually wearing a loose sweater, a very ordinary black pencil pants, but this simple match, still because of her unique temperament and become unusual, looks like a simple and neat.

Before I could get up, Qu Sen had already pinched the time, opened the door of the private room for Jiang Laiyue, and then made a gesture of please to her, Jiang Laiyue still had the momentum of a workplace CEO, nodded his head and walked to the table in thanks.

She sat down as we got up to greet us, then looked around the teahouse with a complicated expression, as if she had some impression of the teahouse, and then asked in an uncertain tone, "Qu Sen, hasn't this teahouse been taken down yet?" ”

"Not yet, this boss has to wait for this period of time before making a move."

"I bought it after the peak season and left it for me to drink tea? Hurry up and find a way to solve it. ”

Qu Sen hurriedly nodded respectfully, and Jiang Laiyue seemed to deliberately kill me, not looking at me at all, let alone saying a word.

I looked at her again, the beautiful face, the unparalleled temperament, and the wealth that ordinary people couldn't reach, so that I couldn't connect her with ordinary people, and said for a while: "Hello Mr. Jiang, I'm Yu Hang, I take the liberty to disturb today, and I plan to apply for a position in your company." ”

"Didn't you plan to apply last time?"

This woman is really enough, a simple sentence to talk about the topic to death, I looked at her with some embarrassment, I don't know how to answer her words, I can feel her residual anger is not gone, there is sarcasm in the words, what to do, I have to act at the opportunity......
