Chapter 186: Before the Storm
After returning to Xi'an from Beijing, the first thing I did was to formulate a publicity plan for the coming year, and I have been asking friends in the circle to help me go through the relevant procedures for going abroad.
Time continues to move forward, at the end of October in Xi'an is already quite cold, this evening, I put on a thick down jacket, standing on the city wall walking alone, every corner here is full of memories, the difference is that it was still a summer night, and now it is almost winter.
After walking on the city wall for a while, I found the place where I used to stay, and then in the dusk I longed to find the island outside the city again, but on the contrary, even if I looked farther, there was still another city outside the city, there was no so-called loneliness, I thought this was too idealistic for me, Xi'an is located in the northwest, where does the sea come from, not to mention that there will be islands and sails in the sea.
After choosing a good angle for the familiar scene, I took a few photos and clicked send, since Li Shi left, I have maintained a habit, that is, when I encounter a good scenery, I will take a picture and send it to her, fortunately she did not block me, I still have a place to confide.
I remember that after Li Shi left, when she tidied up the room where she lived, she left me a picture album, which contained only four paintings, namely the hostel, the coffee shop, the city tower and the road bar, these representative buildings, basically constituted all her memories in Xi'an, and I suddenly wanted to see the paintings she left behind.
After this mood continued to swell, I suddenly wanted to go back to the hostel, watering the plants, I still remember that time I went crazy and smashed all the potted plants in the hostel, and finally was patiently replanted by my parents, and Li Shi also planted a cherry tree for herself, she said that the cherry tree flowers are very beautiful, the fruit is delicious, and now I think about it she is really a pragmatic foodie.
After more than an hour of driving, I returned to the hostel at dusk, first opened the windows of my room to let the air circulate, then watered every plant in the yard with great interest, and finally made a glass of lemonade for every guest at the bar, and then lay tired on the sofa and gasped.
I gradually emptied myself, my eyelids began to become heavy, and I lay on the couch and fell asleep until I was woken up by a ringing cell phone.
I laboriously turned over, took out my mobile phone from my pocket, and glanced at it in the haze, only to find that it was Zhang Manli calling, since leaving Youtu, we haven't been in touch for a long time, she suddenly called me, what will it be?
I answered with doubts, and a familiar voice came from there, her tone was very low, and she said to me directly: "Yu Hang, where are you now?" ”
"In the hostel, Manager Zhang has something to do with me?"
"Do you call me Manager Zhang out of respect or habit, or do you still have nostalgia for Youtu?"
I could feel the unwillingness and unkindness in her tone, but she still kept her calm and replied, "Habit." ”
Zhang Manli smiled and said unhappily: "I thought it was something else!" ”
Her displeasure made me feel that I was really reckless in what I said, after all, she was just an employee loyal to the boss of the company, in essence, what she had done before was not wrong, but her position was different, and now I really didn't need to worry about anything with her.
I said to her with some apologies: "I'm just used to it, you don't need to think about it, if you want to be bored, you can come to the hostel, the atmosphere is still very good." ”
"Don't you really know what's going on?"
I scratched my head and smiled helplessly: "You can tell me something directly." ”
"There is no way."
"What do you mean?"
"Qu Sen, the former business manager of Laiyue Group, directly brought someone from the notary office to buy Youtu without any movement, and the document turned out to be signed by Mr. Gou himself, and Mr. Gou can't get through the phone now, and the company is in a mess."
Although I had been fully mentally prepared before, when I said the news from Zhang Manli's mouth, I still felt a surge of anger in my heart, I restrained myself and smiled: "I once tried my best to take the hostel back from Li Shi's hands, and now I send it out...... Since it was signed by Mr. Gou himself, and there is a relevant notary lawyer, what else is there to say? Youtu has become what it is today, isn't it caused by him? But you don't have to worry, isn't Mr. Gou the best at doing this kind of thing, maybe if he sends it out today, he will be able to get it back tomorrow......"
"What do you say...... Don't you have any ideas? ”
Even if I couldn't accept this fact in my heart, I still behaved very indifferently, as if listening to a stranger telling a story, looking at the dark sky outside the window, I didn't want to continue chatting, and decided to buy something to eat first to solve my hunger, so I hung up the phone directly in Zhang Manli's slightly crazy complaint.
Maybe in Zhang Manli's eyes, as a former member of Youtu, I should have cried and collapsed in shock, but on the contrary, I didn't have such emotions, on the contrary, I was a little puzzled, why would it be Qu Sen who finally took over Youtu Travel Agency?
I ordered a drawer of xiaolongbao at the snack bar near the hostel, and since I still had to wait in line for a while, I bought a cup of soy milk and drank it, and walked along the road with soy milk in hand, while thinking about the future operation of the hostel......
……
All the way along the street lamp, unconsciously walked back to the front of the hostel, in an instant, the opposite Laiyue Hotel suddenly lit up, I walked a few steps forward, thinking whether it would be Jiang Laiyue back, I couldn't help but stand on the side of the road and stare at the giant neon logo for a long time.
Suddenly, an Infiniti drove not far away, I looked very unfamiliar, I couldn't help but look a few more times, until I walked very close, only to find Qu Sen who got out of the car, at this moment he looked majestic He didn't seem to notice me, I couldn't reach to greet him, so I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, ready to call him.
Seeing Qu Sen neatly take out his mobile phone from his pocket, after he glanced at it, I heard a hang-up sound in my ears......
Even though I was unhappy, I didn't know the cause and effect of the incident, everything happened very suddenly, and I couldn't blame Qu Sen, I tucked my clothes to resist the cool breeze of the autumn night, and returned to the steamed bun shop to pick up the steamed buns.
This night, I sat in the tent on the roof as usual and chatted with Shuma, this kid has a very stubborn temper, not to mention that he can endure to do it in the Lin Ke bar for so long, just brave the cold and insist on living on the roof, I already admire him for throwing himself to the ground, but in addition to this admiration, I often think, what is this kid insisting on on such a cold day?
Shuma told me that he had recently learned how to make a few cocktails, and that he had done a live radio broadcast with Linko, and that the kid would talk to me every time he talked to me, and he insisted on singing to me when he learned some songs.
The conversation finally made my mood better, but condescendingly, I inadvertently saw Qu Sen squatting next to the trash can and vomiting, in just over an hour, he seemed to have drunk too much, and after vomiting, he swayed and pointed to a group of people behind him, as if he was scolding......
Then, I saw Shen Lin who came in a hurry, after everyone avoided it, they first pulled, and then quarreled, Shen Lin even didn't care if there were people around in his excitement, raised his high heels and smashed Shen Hao's body several times, Qu Sen first endured it, and then couldn't bear it anymore, snatched the high heels from Shen Lin's hands, and threw them away, which was not enough, he forcibly dodged Shen Lin's other shoe as well, and then threw it away together......
Shen Lin, who was squatting on the ground barefoot, cried bitterly, the voice could even be heard by me and Shu Ma, but Qu Sen ignored it, got into the car and disappeared into the Laiyue Hotel.
After seeing Qu Sen leave, I was about to go downstairs to ask Shen Lin what was going on, the staff of Laiyue Hotel helped her up, she also stopped crying, and the world seemed to be quiet for a short time, but I deeply felt that this was just the calm before the storm, and I could even imagine what Shen Lin would talk to me about later. At the moment of getting up, Shen Lin rushed towards the hostel like crazy, and then jumped into the icy river water......
