Chapter 100: Heart-to-heart friends
After ending the call with Li Shi, I fell into silence again, and Shen Lin on the stage had already finished singing two or three songs, and I didn't even notice it.
Nowadays, her singing and expression seems to be different from before, she will not deliberately shout, and she will not worry about giving new words.
A few years have passed, I feel that I have nothing, if I can cure Mengmeng's disease, I plan to give myself a vacation, and then save money to buy a house, get married and have children.
This seemingly mundane life plan is a necessary process for most people, because we are all mortals.
Waiting for Li Shi's effort, Lin Ke and I held a cigarette in our mouths, walked along the square, and when we were tired, we sat on a chair under the tree.
"What's been going on at your bar lately?"
Lin Ke snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, his expression suddenly became serious, and said, "I also want to talk to you, I plan to go back and continue to open the bar, what do you think?" ”
I was afraid that Lin Ke would fall into loneliness again, and it was difficult to say it directly, so I turned a corner and said: "It's too deserted over there, and there is not even a neighbor around." ”
"If I had a neighbor, I would have been complained about hundreds of times, and this bar doesn't make people nervous breakdowns every day! It's the tourist season, I've been resting for so long, it's much better, and I'm taking advantage of this time to get some money. ”
"So what if that person ...... What if I harass you again? ”
"I'm just going to die, can I have to die twice for her? My life was saved by Miss Li Shi, if she doesn't speak, I won't ...... again Although I still have trouble controlling my emotions, I will never do anything stupid again. ”
I seemed to suddenly see some hope and nodded hurriedly.
Lin Ke changed his sitting position, thought for a while, and said to me: "I plan to change the name of the bar, reopen it, write some more songs and upload it to the Internet, and package the bar from the outside in!" ”
I turned my head to look at him, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, brother, why do I think your mind is opened?" ”
"It's to see through life!"
I admit that Lin Ke's logic is very correct this time, it is rare that he is willing to say so many things today, and I said the last doubt in my heart: "Since you think so thoroughly, why don't you consider changing the position to run the bar?" ”
Lin Ke's eyes were deep, as if he had seen through the mysteries of this world, and he spit out a word faintly: "Poor!" ”
Yes, we are poor!
I didn't ask any more questions, but also followed his gaze into the distance, and patted his thigh with empathy for a long time, we are all marginal people struggling in this city, and some things are common.
The wind swept past us with coolness, and Lin Ke and I still sat under the tree, and I didn't stand up until I saw Lish's car parked in front of the coffee shop.
……
In the store, Nian Ge had already gotten up to help prepare coffee, and Li Shi seemed to be about to call me, and when she saw me enter, she put down her phone.
Although I was curious why she came to me, I didn't ask her, because I didn't want to touch her sensitivity, but she asked me, "Are you back in the store?" ”
"Well, back, did you have dinner?"
"Not yet."
Li Shi nodded, but she didn't want to stop at the topic of eating.
She looked a little worried, looked at me with a complicated expression, and asked, "Did Mr. Gou talk to you about letting you go back to the company?" ”
"Talked."
Li Shi looked at me quietly, but I was flustered, and often the calmer she behaved, the more volatile her mood became.
After a while, Li Shi still said to me calmly: "In order to take the hostel for yourself, you actually did such a desperate thing, I will declare to you in advance: even if you want to go back to the company now, I still won't make you comfortable, you and Mr. Gou said that you want to be the manager of the planning department, right?" Then I'll let you be the manager of the tour guide department......"
Li Shi's seemingly incoherent but point-in-point words made me realize the purpose of Lao Gou's conversation with me in the afternoon, and he bypassed almost everyone, including Li Shi.
But the result and purpose of this are just the opposite, the more Li Shi targets me and rejects me, the more I can get the support of most of the people in the company, who seems to be passive, but is pointing the way.
At this time, I have to admire Lao Gou's acting skills again, he seems to see human nature very thoroughly, and he takes one by one.
Nian Ge brought the coffee up, exchanged a few words with Li Shi and continued to go to the counter.
I finally put away my troubled heart and took a sip of hot coffee.
"Your life is quite legendary, you were an enemy a few days ago, I haven't figured out your identity yet, I have to call you Mr. Li another day, this life is really an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another!"
"Don't talk nonsense here, I will arrange someone to take care of the affairs of the scenic spot, and you will report to the company the day after tomorrow."
The answer was obviously a bit unexpected, and it took a long time to nod my head, say "I know" and fall silent.
In fact, Li Shi ignored a major question, if I was really bored, would I leave the hostel so easily? It's just that she believes in Lao Gou so deeply, which is quite surprising to me, and she trusts what Lao Gou said to her so much that she doesn't think about it?
During the conversation between me and Li Shi, Shen Lin, who was sitting not far away, had been absent-minded, and after a while, she proposed again: "Brother Lin, why don't we collaborate on a song?" ”
Lin Ke nodded, got up and went to the small stage with Shen Lin to prepare to sing another song, this time, Shen Lin chose a blues harmonica, and Lin Ke picked up an acoustic guitar, their talents can play many instruments with ease.
Li Shi seemed to relax, leaned on the sofa, and looked at the small stage very intently, she has a good quality that she is very focused on doing things.
A melody sounded, it was Lin Ke who played the guitar, I listened carefully for a long time, and then I remembered that this is an original song "South" on the Internet, but it is adapted, and it is more lyrical than the original.
I know that this adaptation is from Lin Ke's hand, and from the tacit understanding between the two of them, it seems that Shen Lin has been coming to the coffee shop a lot recently, thanks to Qu Sen, who brought Shen Lin here.
Shen Lin began to hum along with the rhythm, and as soon as she spoke, although it was just an accompaniment, the sexy and clean voice made everyone who was listening to it applaud, and even Song Niange on the side gave her a thumbs up to express her appreciation.
Just after the wanderer's chorus, Shen Lin played the harmonica, completed a transitional music, and then perfectly entered another song "North", and this time the singing became Lin Ke, accompanied by Shen Lin.
In the tacit understanding of the high degree of cooperation between the two people, the two songs with similar artistic conceptions are seamlessly connected, thinking that Lin Ke said before that he would try to challenge life again and contact the songs, I actually felt sentimental.
Looking at Shen Lin on the stage, I smiled, when the light above my head flickered on her face, I seemed to see myself in her pupils, and I couldn't see it clearly in a blink of an eye, maybe we are all in love and longing for a home......
At this time, Li Shi beside him opened his mouth and said incredibly: "Lin Ke and this girl are really musically talented, and their voices are even more unique, today I have opened my eyes, their talent is worthy of the heritage of Xi'an!" ”
I just nodded, and didn't say much, not to mention Shen Lin's insistence on music, Lin Ke's talent doesn't need to be emphasized, the hard power behind these praises seems to have always flowed in his blood, something innate.
……
The night was dark, but Li Shi seemed to be still nostalgic for the comfortable atmosphere of the coffee shop, and she was reluctant to leave for a long time, sitting in the store and whispering to Song Niange.
I stood at the door, took out the last cigarette in the cigarette case, put it to my mouth and lit it, took a few puffs, and finally felt a little smoother, because at least there was a solution to the hostel problem at this time, if I could really get rid of the old suspicion with Lao Gou Bing and take back control of the hostel, what a lucky thing it would be for me, so I prayed, I hope this time is not my wishful thinking!
Under the bright street lamp, Jiang Laiyue appeared in front of me in a red dress, she still prefers red so much, but her posture is not as strong as before, and she doesn't even bother to take care of her hair that was blown by the wind, and she looks a little haggard.
"Yu Hang."
I tried to avoid her, but she stopped me.
I fell to the bottom in an instant, took the last puff of cigarette, put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash, calmed down for a long time before saying: "Former boss Mr. Jiang, may I ask if there is something wrong with me?" ”
Jiang Laiyue's tired tone was suddenly full of irritability, and she replied: "You melon coward, who are you sarcastic?" ”
"How dare I, if Jiang always beats me down in this square, I won't lose face."
"Don't talk about it with your face, you started to think before I started, what's the matter, you still want to touch porcelain?"
"Have you ever touched porcelain with your face?"
"People like you who don't have to eat with your face may be ......"
I took a mouthful of old blood, so I simply "hummed" twice, and I didn't want to speak again.
"I hate a little man like you who has no measure, forget it, get out of the way, don't affect my coffee mood!"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"
My sentence "Yes, Mr. Jiang" seemed to completely annoy Jiang Laiyue, she walked a few steps and turned back, annoyed the valuable handbag in her hand on the ground, and then stepped forward and grabbed my collar, pointed at my nose and said: "If you dare to provoke me again, I will hit you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”
"You are turning the clouds and rain, why should you take the words of a little person like me seriously, even if your fist can hit me and beg for mercy, but can you hit everyone with your fist and beg for mercy? What about those who cannot be conquered by force? ”
"Yu Hang, you're a stinky dick!"
"Yes, I'm ......"
Jiang Laiyue let go of my collar, but pinched the flesh on my waist fiercely, then picked up the bag as if angry, and walked towards the parking lot in the distance without looking back.
"Mr. Jiang, don't you drink coffee?" I endured the pain and deliberately stimulated.
"Drink your sister, stinky idiot!"
The pain in my waist for a while, and Jiang Laiyue's appearance at the moment, made me deeply understand her difficult situation, the reason why I said it so ugly was not to blame her for not helping me take back the hostel, but to tell her: Some things do not need to sacrifice themselves to achieve their goals, so unscrupulous achievements will really be what she wants?
Although "Laiyue" is mixed with too many interest disputes, Jiang Laiyue has so many properties in her hands, as long as she seizes the opportunity, many things may not be passive, but since I got along with her, it seems that she is afraid of losing, or that she can't afford to lose.
At this time, I really hope that Jiang Laiyue herself has a few friends in her life, and she can accompany her to relieve some pressure, at least not like tonight, wandering alone in the night......
I'm sure she's lonely and bored, otherwise she wouldn't be in front of me again, and a few meters away, she looked at me aggrievedly, the wind ruffling the hair that fell from her ears and her reddened eyes filled with tears......
