To my surprise, Jiang Laiyue did not look at me with hatred, but said to me patiently again: "For you, what kind of existence is a hostel?" ”

Jiang Laiyue seemed to have asked a question that no one had ever asked before, but it was also the question I wanted to talk to the most, I thought about it, and said in an aftertasteful tone: "I wonder if you also like to roam around Xi'an, lying on the big bed of the hostel after being tired, and listening to the stories that the city tells you?" I've experienced that when the first rays of the morning sun shine on my face through the window and the wind blows through my hair, it's comfortable to be in such a nice youth hostel. The city of Xi'an, unlike the smoke and rain towers in the south of the Yangtze River, has a heroic spirit! I don't know if you've ever been to a hostel, but gently pushing open the wooden door, the unbridled sunlight shines through the wide open window, illuminating the scene inside the house clearly. For example, a young man who loves to travel comes here from a corner of the city, in a spacious room, turning the pages of a book in the dim light, holding a cigarette that is about to burn out, next to the lamp is a cup of steaming coffee, and outside the bright window that has been scrubbed all year round, the scenery changes every moment......

"You still haven't told me the purpose of the hostel's existence."

I smiled and said, "Actually, I've already said it, but everyone understands this feeling differently...... Every good thing in the world is only for those who understand it. A person, how big the world is, in fact, is how many people around you really understand you. This also explains why we live so lonely when we are surrounded by so much noise. The impetuous world, the confused heart, being let down and abandoned, if you can't meet the right person, it is better to hide these beauty, with the deepest loneliness, and the world is quiet. ”

"If you're emotionally identified with the hostel, why don't you take it and run it yourself?"

"No money!"

"And what if I support you?"

When Jiang Laiyue and I had this conversation, I subconsciously looked at her expression when she spoke, this time she was very easy-going, and she did not point fingers at other people's lives with an unstoppable attitude as before.

I gradually relaxed in my heart, but I didn't let my guard down because of this, because Jiang Laiyue's sudden help was probably for his own business purposes, and it was not necessarily beneficial to the hostel. Of course, there is also a possibility that she may have experienced the unique cultural charm of the hostel in my description, after all, human nature is complex, and I can't always stare at her commercial side.

Although Jiang Laiyue may have experienced my feelings, I don't like to talk about anything related to the hostel and Lao Gou, because my relationship with Lao Gou was born in the hostel and died in the hostel, I can't calmly face the hostel that has been stripped from my life, and finally changed the topic to Jiang Laiyue and said: "Let's skip this topic and talk about something else!" ”

"Since there is a seller, there must be a buyer, so instead of letting the hostel change its original business model, why not keep it intact?"

"What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple, since Gou Yongqiang doesn't care about the hostel, then let him give up, I can agree to your application, or you can promise you to buy the hostel, although it is counted as the company's property, but it is still operated by you independently, and you can pay me a certain amount of rent every year. I won't let it go like Lao Gou, you know the strength of "Laiyue", we will expand the influence of the hostel through multi-channel publicity and packaging, and will regularly send a quota of tourists to the hostel every year to ensure your normal operation. ”

In the face of this seemingly pie-in-the-sky good thing, I spoke very lightly, but implied an instinctive rejection, and said, "What is your purpose in doing this?" ”

Jiang Laiyue put away her smile, as if affected by my emotions, sighed lightly, and said to me for a long time: "I have made it very clear, I am not helping you operate, but expanding my own business scale, there are dozens of hotels that currently cooperate with "Laiyue", you have also seen, in the Laiyue Hotel opposite the hostel, how much is the daily passenger flow, but this is not a satisfying thing for me, in my business plan, such a distinctive youth hostel, this is the only one. ”

I'm still thinking about it, judging from my years of experience in the workplace, things are by no means so simple, but I can't observe Jiang Laiyue's expression through my eyes at the moment, because the night has completely come, looking at the somewhat vain world behind me that is set off by the lights of thousands of homes, but I am thinking about how to talk to her about the hostel again.

Jiang Laiyue seemed to give us the greatest tolerance since we met, and gave me full time to think, but it seemed that I had already made up my mind, and it was only a matter of time before I agreed.

"Yu Hang, do you believe that there is a clean place in this materialistic world?"

Even in the dark, I couldn't help but look at her and asked with interest, "Where do you think it will be?" ”

"Maybe it's on some undiscovered nameless island!"

My breathing suddenly accelerated, and I was amazed that there were people in this world who had the same aspirations and beliefs as me, and I couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that you are also a person of temperament, do you think that island will be full of flowers?" ”

Jiang Laiyue didn't answer me again......

Her silence made me a little frightened, for fear that I would lose too many words, and I responded to her with silence, so that the night became quieter, and our figures in the moonlight were reflected on the ground, and I stared intently at her shadow, as if I had seen another self for a moment.

My conversation with Jiang Laiyue, just so abruptly in the inexplicable, but this did not cause my emotional changes, it seems that now I, has adapted to this inexplicable, and for myself will really join the "Laiyue" company, I am looking forward to it, after all, I think: life is a solitary practice, making a living is the same, in the constantly changing environment, everyone is busy meeting all kinds of people, thinking that this is enriching life, but the most valuable encounter is at a certain moment, re-encounter yourself, At that moment, you will know how to travel the world, just to find a way back to your heart.

Some roads are walked by feet; Some roads should be walked with heart.

……

As soon as night came, after returning home, I made room for Jiang Laiyue, and then sat in the courtyard for a long time. I 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 more relaxed, and I was still weighing the importance of this matter in my heart.

Originally, I thought it would be so quiet until I figured it out, but a sound of footsteps still disrupted my thoughts, and when I came back to my senses, Jiang Laiyue appeared in front of me unexpectedly, and I asked with surprise: "Why didn't you sleep again, didn't you shout sleepy just now?" ”

"Sleepiness is temporary, I don't want to be sleepy now, is there a problem?"

I smiled and said, "It's really hard for you, you are working overtime this night to stimulate me!" ”

Jiang Laiyue glared at me, took out a document bag from behind him and handed it to me, and said without waiting for me to untie it: "This is the company's personnel contract, and what we talked about tonight, I have prepared it for you in the form of a document, as long as you sign it, everything will have legal effect." ”

"It seems that you are really a black heart and ready with both hands!"

My reaction seemed to be expected by Jiang Laiyue, she smiled and said: "For the sake of the company's development, I am sure that all aspects will be considered, don't be in a hurry to refuse, read the content of the contract." ”

"I advise you not to play the family card anymore, after all, Gou Yongqiang has no relationship with you at all, otherwise who can pry you?"

I don't say anything......

"Some slanderous words, as a peer, I can't say too much casually, but you can't ruin the future fate of the hostel because of your personal entanglement with Gou Yongqiang, since it can attract you, it means that you have something called heart-to-heart, and you have the responsibility and obligation to protect it."

Jiang Laiyue's words pierced my heart like a steel nail, the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, so the whole person was confused and uneasy, I didn't know how to deal with the situation at this time, and this sudden awakening made me feel a kind of deviation, I had some impulse to break free, but it didn't seem realistic......

While speaking, Jiang Laiyue handed me the contract and said, "Look at the details of this contract, if there are no problems, we will sign it now." ”

I said "thank you" again, opened the contract and looked at it carefully, and after about ten minutes, I finished reading all the contents, really felt the sincerity of this contract, got up and said to her: "Is this contract possible to change me and the hostel today?" ”

"It's all up to you."

"Can you give me more time to think?"

"At the latest, I will give you time to think about it the day after tomorrow, I will return to the scenic spot tomorrow, remember, don't consume my patience anymore, I am looking for you to value your experience in the hostel, don't let me down."

"It's as if I ever gave you hope."

Jiang Laiyue smiled, but still nodded, and then shook hands symbolically with me across the air, and after saying "good night", he went back to the room before me.

……

After Jiang Laiyue left, I also returned to the room, and ushered in the night when I was alone, but I lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, knowing that I had completely cut off the relationship with the hostel, Li Shi and Lao Gou, but I still sent a message to Lao Gou and Li Shi, indicating my attitude towards the hostel.

After the message was sent, I realized that this might be our last chance to communicate calmly, and I was a little anxious, looking at my phone over and over again, thinking that I would be waiting for a message inadvertently, but it didn't ring again until the morning, and I gradually believed that if I didn't take any more action, the hostel would really disappear from my world.

So, on this still new morning, I decided not to think about the fate of the hostel and continue my life peacefully, so after getting up, I decided to go back to the scenic spot with Jiang Laiyue, at least so that I can still have the opportunity to do some of the things I want to do.

After picking the peaches, I divided them into three parts, one for Li Shi according to my parents' request, and mainly wanted to repay her personal debt. One was given to Jiang Laiyue, and it can be seen that she likes to eat this kind of peach very much, but the habit of eating half and throwing half away is not good. The third one was kept for myself, and I brought some more to Lin Ke to try.

……

Along the way, I didn't have the pleasure of getting into a luxury car, but spent more time dozing off, so I went to the scenic spot in a daze.

And along the way, I obviously found that Jiang Laiyue was not as lively as before, maybe once she got close to her territory, she would show a general posture facing the battlefield, this kind of unsmiling should be her normal state.

"You just get off here, so as not to be seen by idle people, I don't care, I'm afraid that you will be criticized at that time."

"I understand!"

Jiang Laiyue gives me the feeling that she has always been well versed in the way of shopping malls, and she is probably doing this for me on the one hand, and for herself on the other hand, as for the reason for this, I can understand it after careful analysis.

When I proposed to give the peaches to Jiang Laiyue, she was not polite, smiled happily, and said, "The fruit is not easy to come by, I will try to eat it if you send it!" ”

I'm a little puzzled: Is it possible that the world of this strong woman is so hard, does it take hard work to eat a peach?
