Chapter 67: A Life You Can't Jump Out of
After thinking for a while, I quickly cut to the point, put forward my thoughts to Jiang Laiyue again, and asked for her opinion, without waiting for her to answer, I hurriedly took the conversation over again, and said: "I ask you not to refuse in a hurry, you can go to the "Road Rumor" bar first, and then make a decision, okay?" ”
Jiang Laiyue shook his head and smiled, and said: "I don't want to take the business as I want, but I really don't have the energy to open up the market, the "Laiyue" in your eyes seems to be beautiful, but how much real power is in my control You probably don't know, and the person who manipulated behind the scenes, I wish I had ruined myself, so I can obediently surrender to him, I have a hard time these days, so Yu Hang, I need this victory to save myself, otherwise this year will be the beginning of the darkness of my life!" ”
I looked at Jiang Laiyue, she said this, I can't say anything more, since it comes to this quarter's activities, she has expectations, it seems that I have to make a statement in front of Jiang Laiyue.
After a moment of silence, I finally said, "I will do my job well in this season, don't worry!" ”
"It's your birthday on the 4th of next month, right?"
I was a little surprised, and only after a while asked, "How do you know that my birthday is July 4th?" ”
Jiang Laiyue finally nodded, but her expression was a little thoughtful, and said, "Whether you are busy or not, I will give you a day off." ”
"Mr. Jiang, I really don't need it, it's a normal birthday, nothing to worry about."
"Don't be stubborn, you can contradict yourself, do you think you are the leader?"
I looked at her with tears and laughter, Jiang Laiyue's temper was really big, and she came up as soon as she said it......
"Yu Hang, tell me sincerely, can I succeed in one fell swoop this time?"
Jiang Laiyue's words made me worried, but I didn't know what to say, as she said, in the face of this huge capital game, I was powerless, and I didn't dare to judge at will.
I asked myself if I should use my understanding to crush the last expectations of others, hesitated for a long time, or looked at her apologetically, and said for a long time: "In the ever-changing business world, anything can happen, but we will definitely do our best to succeed." ”
After hearing these words, Jiang Laiyue leaned back in her chair, looked at me tiredly, and did not speak again for a long time.
Maybe she was expecting, thinking or praying, and my most sincere answer seemed to be tacitly approved by her, I don't want to talk empty words, but I also don't want to hit the reality of believers, because I have had such an experience, after suffering from the reality of struggle, I have watched my dreams be wiped out, but now I think about it, it's nothing, just a lot of regrets......
……
In the evening after this busy day, I walked in the scenic spot with more and more tourists, but there was no sense of joy, I wanted to pass by the hostel to see how the business was, but I didn't know what kind of posture to use to face Li Shi, every time I met the stiff dialogue even I was very bored, I often would say that she owed me, but it was not to make the topic embarrassing, so that the listener was embarrassed, but I wanted to use this most useless way to remind her to treat the hostel well, because it is difficult to keep the hostel, and it will only take a day to destroy it.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, I walked along with the crowd, stepping on the light and shadow of the street lamps, and the paths that used to be dim at night during the off-season were already crowded with people. Walking on the noisy and crowded streets, I wanted to light a cigarette, but I thought that smoking too much was not good for my health, so I gave up, so I relaxed and put my mind on the scenery next to the small street, and the bosses, who used to not even want to turn on the lights, are now shouting hard.
After walking and stopping all the way, when I thought of the "Road Ballad" bar that might still not receive a few orders tonight, the relaxed mood I had finally created for myself was shattered in an instant, and I was pulled back into this boring real world.
I thought that this night would be spent in boredom, but unexpectedly, Jing Qi, who had not been in touch for several days, suddenly sent a message, saying that she had returned to China and was "meeting" the coffee shop, so I would go over and get together when I had time.
Jing Qi's return to China made me quickly forget about the things that bothered me, reached out and stopped an electric tricycle and went to the coffee shop.
Before entering the store, I took a deep breath and glanced at the new season's poster in front of the store, but I didn't have time to read it carefully, so I walked towards the coffee shop with excitement, imagining Jingqi's appearance all the way, and subconsciously I thought she would change.
It's still the corner where we usually drink coffee, Jing Qi is wearing a white chiffon shirt and drinking coffee while reading magazines, looking more stable than before.
I came up to her, she looked up at me, then smiled and said, "Here it is!" ”
"Well, it's been a long time!"
"It's okay, sit down, I'll have you something to drink."
"I haven't slept well lately, so I don't drink coffee at night."
Jing Qi knew me very well, and after I brought it up, she didn't insist on anything, just nodded silently.
"This time I have been abroad for so long, it must be very hard to go back and forth, you have to rest for a while, we have time to make another appointment, I will invite you to dinner."
"Yu Hang, I can see from the moment you just entered the door that you were uneasy, you never thought of leaving so quickly when you met before."
I was silent for a long time, and after responding to her with a smile, I said, "I'm just afraid that you're too tired from work, and I want you to go back to rest early." ”
"The hostel thing is a headache for you! I'm here to see if I can help you, and if I need to buy funds, why don't I borrow them from a few bosses? ”
I never thought that Jing Qi was looking for me for this matter, so that my thinking was blocked, and I couldn't find a smooth way out, I don't know how long it took, before I gritted my teeth and said: "Don't look for someone to borrow money indiscriminately, do you hear!" It's okay if the hostel is gone, I've got a good job now, and it doesn't matter what happened in the past. ”
"Having someone with me pretending to be happy, should I be happy or sad?"
This question of hers surprised me a little, but women are sometimes so sensitive and fragile, Jingqi is no exception, I looked at her, at this moment she no longer has a hearty personality, and some are the melancholy of the night when she was left on the highway......
"Yu Hang, the stage is empty over there, can you go up and sing a song for me? After listening to this, I will leave and go back to rest! ”
My brain was so confused by her words that it took me a long time to reply, "Good! ”
After many days, I walked to the small stage again, and Song Niange applauded me for the first time, and then, the originally quiet café became noisy.
I looked at Jing Qi not far away, she was looking at me with her chin in one hand, stirring her coffee, and looking at me expectantly.
After thinking about it for a while, I sang Zhang Hang's song "Alley Mouth", and there were a few lyrics that I liked very much: "...... The words between two people, omitting promises, the joy in loneliness cannot be used to solve loss, for me, for me, there is actually no way to jump out of life......"
During the singing, I kept looking at Jing Qi, she first looked at me, then lowered her head to hide her face, and finally before I finished singing, she picked up her handbag and left, and my whole body was empty, so that everything in front of me except for the dazzling light was illusory.
After a song, I politely declined the call for the guests to sing another song, leaving the stage to the other eager visitors, and even though the scene was very atmospheric, I didn't feel the right mood anymore.
Walking outside the coffee shop, I covered my chest, looked at myself in the glass mirror, an expression of extreme pain appeared on my face, and then squatted on the ground, this move scared the waiter at the door, and hurriedly called Song Niange, in a panic, Song Niange trembled and asked me: "Brother Hang, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" ”
I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm in a bad mood, there's nothing uncomfortable, I'll just slow it down." ”
Song Niange looked at me very unpleasantly, maybe she was blaming herself, and she couldn't do anything about all this......
After a long time, I finally stood up and said to Song Niange with an apologetic face: "Niange, if you are busy, go in first, and I will sit by myself!" ”
Sitting down on the bench, Song Niange sat with me, and I soon noticed the spray painting posted on the wall at the entrance of the store, and the words on it were really good: "The real world we are in, compared with the existing spiritual world, understand so few things, have such a narrow field of vision, such a poor endurance of thinking, and people's hearts are so closed and lazy, many problems that continue to torment us, including the public and private fields, not only have people experienced suffering and seriously thought about it, He even sealed his experience and wise and delicate answers in his memory. Articles and books without love are too dry and boring, and no one wants to read them. As a result, this coffee shop, like 84 Charing Cross Street, will be interpreted into an emotional story by well-meaning do-gooders. We met at a coffee shop, we were all right, we left a letter, we passed by, and finally stepped out of the store, drowning in the crowd again. ”
"Nian Song, you wrote the poster yourself, right?"
"No, I only sincerely make coffee and recommend good songs for customers, but I really don't know how to write copywriting, and this time the copywriter is...... Written by Li Shi. ”
"Li Shi? It's not ...... between you."
Song Niange smiled and said: "The things between women are too complicated, I can't understand it with you for a while, so let's sit down and talk slowly!" ”
I nodded, looked into the distance again, and then somewhere in my mind was suddenly struck by this statement......
……
This night, I did not stay in a small hotel, but returned to the "Laiyue" hotel, and by the way, I looked at the tourist occupancy rate at the front desk, which was not bad, and nearly half of the rooms were used.
After the tumbling of various thoughts, I seemed to think about the past and the future, and thought about everyone's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and finally gradually fell asleep with sleepiness, and I don't know what time, the mobile phone that was not turned off suddenly rang wildly, and after being awakened, I reached out from the bedside table and touched the talisman-like mobile phone, opened my squinted eyes vigorously, and looked at the time in the dazzling white light, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, and the call was from Lin Ke.
I couldn't help but yawn and ask, "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”
"I had a nightmare, I really can't do it, can you accompany me to the hospital?"
As soon as I heard this, I was a little broken and said, "You are in the middle of the night, what are you hypocritical!" Big-man guys, have a nightmare and have to go to the hospital? ”
Lin Ke was silent for a while, a little self-blaming, and seemed to be a little difficult to get rid of: "I can't drive to the hospital in this state, and now I want to find someone to stay for a while, it's really not good, or you can come and sit with me......"
