Chapter 111: The Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

"Boss, I'm sorry."

The two girls lowered their heads and confessed, Leng Yanshuo was caught violating company rules as soon as he came back, which was too embarrassing.

"Go through the resignation procedures." The man didn't look at the two girls the whole time, but kept staring at Li Luo.

"I'll take you around?"

"Okay." Li Luo took Leng Yanshuo's big hand and followed him, from the front desk of the hall on the first floor to the president's office, Leng Yanshuo recounted how he got to the present step by step.

Li Luo saw Leng Yanshuo's hard work and enthusiasm for the company from every desk and chair in the company.

The president's office here is much larger than in China, and Li Luo visits every corner very carefully.

Leng Yanshuo sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee and watched the girl walk around the room.

Although the office has not been in charge for a long time, it is still spotless, and the items are placed in an orderly manner. It's full of traces and smells of cold words.

Li Luo sat on the boss's chair and turned around twice and stopped, put his hands on the desk and stared at Leng Yanshuo not far away, "If someone asks you to use the country you have worked hard over the years to exchange for a thing or a person, will you change it?" ”

The man's expression was very subtle, the corners of his eyebrows lowered lightly and raised to look at Li Luo, very firm and confident: "If it is in exchange for you, I will." ”

His voice echoed through the office in a low and mellow voice, like the plucking of the strings of a historic guqin.

It also deeply stayed in Li Luo's heart.

"If you settle in China, what about the companies here?"

"I don't care much about this side now, there is an acting president, and I don't affect the development of this side in China, but there are some important projects that I need to decide, and there are no other problems."

Li Luo nodded, walked to the window and looked down at the streets of a foreign country, here as in China, everyone is busy, and only those who stand at the top have the time and energy to enjoy peace.

"Leng Yan, how did you persist until now? Become so powerful. Li Luo turned his head to look, and the man was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, with an indifferent expression, as if the ten years had just passed in a hurry.

"I want to live, and I want to live well."

I want to go back to see you alive, hug you, and accompany you.

The last sentence was not spoken, but told Li Luo through his eyes in his heart.

Sometimes a love is too heavy and can be stressful.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the smile on the corner of Leng Yanshuo's mouth washed away the pressing pressure of all these years.

Even if he has a thousand pounds of burden, he will not show that bitterness, and always understates it.

"Take me to your house." The heavy atmosphere was broken, and Li Luo walked in front of Leng Yanshuo and took his big hand to be coquettish.

"Which home?" The man stood up with her strength and walked out with his arm around her thin shoulders.

"How many homes do you have?" The hand holding the man's back suddenly twisted the flesh on the side of his waist, although it was all fine muscles, it still pinched Leng Yanshuo.

"Shhh The man grinned and dodged the attack from Liluo.

"I've got a lot of properties in the last 10 years!"

"Hurry up and show me!"

"Okay, okay, you let go first, my waist is gone."

"A man can't say that his waist is bad."

"Little thing, I think you're challenging me."

……

The two drove to a dilapidated house in a cheerful atmosphere, and because the street was too narrow for the car to drive in, they had to pull over and walk in.

Urine, needles and garbage on the streets were nothing, and the ubiquitous homeless people and dirty tents were even more bleak this afternoon.

The low houses on either side are dilapidated, and some of the rooms even have no windows.

The ground was muddy, and the sour smell of garbage heaps filled the air.

Walking into the depths of the small street, it is not as dilapidated as when I first entered, perhaps deliberately cleaned by someone with a heart.

Leng Yanshuo took the lead in raising his legs and approached the door, and took out a key from the dilapidated newspaper box hanging on the wall.

As if he had mustered up a lot of courage, he grabbed the key in his hand and then inserted it into the lock hole accurately.

The dirty wooden door opened, and the musty smell in the room rushed to his nose, and Leng Yanshuo stood at the door for a while, letting the air in, and then flashed into the small house.

Li Luo followed silently, and the two people in the small room stood inside and couldn't turn around.

Compared to the mess outside, the room is quite tidy, but it has not been cleaned all year round, accumulating a thick layer of dust.

"This is the house I rented when I first got out of prison."

The man stood in the middle of the room, looking around at the familiar environment, and the scenes of the year appeared in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be a big breath in his chest, which pressed him in great pain.

Li Luo looked at the less than five-square-meter house, a single folding bed against the wall, and next to the bed was a lame table with several dishes stacked with paint peeling. The toilet is in the room, next to a small kitchen. It's said to be a kitchen, but it's just a cabinet with an induction cooker.

I don't know how long it took, Leng Yanshuo's back climbed into a warmth, which eased his originally straight back.

"Leng Yan, why does my heart hurt so much?" Li Luo's face was pressed against the man's broad back, and the arms around his waist tightened a little.

"It's all over, want to have some fun, huh?"

Leng Yanshuo turned around and hugged the girl in his arms, he didn't want her to see his fragile side, even if his eyes were red.

"I lived here for a year, and then I moved to another place. I've kept it here, and a few years ago, someone came to clean it, but after that, I didn't think it was necessary, so I just put it here. ”

"Well, go to your new home, the manor you mentioned." Li Luo raised his head, stretched out his finger and touched the man's chin, and said delicately in his arms.

"Okay."

Leaving the slums of filth and mess, the sophistication on the road gradually becomes normal and modern.

Halfway up the hill on the outskirts of the city sits a large manor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a castle.

Such an obvious gap between the rich and the poor shocked Li Luo's eyes, and it was hard to imagine how much effort Leng Yanshuo used to get himself out of the slum and become this master.

He has gone through many hardships to have a stable life today.

"Let's go?" Leng Yanshuo looked at Li Luo, who refused to enter the door, and reminded softly.

"No, not going in." Somehow, Li Luo didn't want to go in at all, and she couldn't bear to see this richly decorated manor.

"Why? Don't you like it? ”

The girl shook her head, took a step back, looked up at the sky, the clouds were pink, the manor and the sky were one, and for a moment she felt like she was in a fairy tale.

"I do love the estate, but it's something you've put in a lot of effort and time. It's just a place to live for you, it's more of a temple to me. Seeing this, I know that it is enough that you have been doing well later. ”

In fact, there is no need to say too much, Leng Yanshuo understands Li Luo's thoughts, that is a kind of protection, Li Luo protects the softness in Leng Yanshuo's heart.

In the next few days, Leng Yanshuo visited several must-see attractions at Li Luo's strong request.

On the day of leaving, Li Luo sent a message to Chu Xiao, she asked him if he knew the location of Leng Yanshuo's abstinence from gambling, she wanted to go and see, but Chu Xiao refused.

According to Chu Xiao's memory, it was full of pain and darkness.

Li Luo also respected Chu Xiao's decision, which could be regarded as the last trace of self-esteem left for Leng Yanshuo.

She didn't want to ask Leng Yanshuo directly, even though she wanted to feel his pain in the past, she was worried that he would fall into the pain of that time again.

……

One night, Li Luo lay beside Leng Yanshuo and asked him, "Do you regret coming to the United States in the first place?" ”

What she got was: "Regret." ”

But everything has settled, and ten years have been like a flick of a finger, and he has endured ten years of loneliness alone.

"What would you do if you hadn't left?"

"Choose a major I like in college, go on a trip after graduation, and come back to marry you."

"Leng Yan, what is your most desired wish to fulfill?"

"Be an ordinary person, 9 to 5, firewood, rice, oil and salt ......"

"When everything is settled, will we live like this?"

"Hmmm......"

If I could, I would like to be so bland for the rest of my life.
