"What?" Danai was incredulous, "Your company is bankrupt? ”

Guan Zhengxing's face was expressionless, "Not only is I bankrupt, but I am now burdened with a debt of 70 million." ”

"How? Isn't your company doing well? ”

Guan Zhengxing didn't want to say more, "It's complicated, it's bankrupt, you can help me get it, and then I have to trouble you to mail it for me." ”

Danai said, "You are limited. Is the system in a situation? ”

Guan Zhengxing said: "Hmm. ”

"Alright then, Mr. Johnson asked, what's my reply?"

"Help me greet him, don't say anything else."

"Okay."

On the second day of junior high school, Guan Zhengxing received a call from Guan Xinhui.

"Brother, aren't you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Guan Zhengxing said: "My brother is too busy, so he won't go this year." ”

"Okay," Guan Xinhui couldn't hide her loss in her tone, "Then have you eaten dumplings?" Does sister-in-law make dumplings? ”

Guan Zhengxing smiled, "Yes." ”

"Are the dumplings she makes delicious?"

Guan Zhengxing said: "It's delicious. ”

"Does she cook deliciously?"

"It's delicious."

"Then I'll rest assured, you won't be hungry outside."

In the microphone, Dai Meicui's voice came, "Huihui, who are you calling?" ”

"Brother."

Dai Meicui's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly snatched the phone, Guan Zhengxing listened to the squirming voice in the microphone and Dai Meicui's low voice: "Don't call him, what if you ask us for money." Now there is still money for him, I don't know if he owes a fart. Stocks and bonds. ”

With a beep, the phone hangs up.

In the cramped basement, a dim light fell overhead, becoming the only source of light in the dark space.

Everything should have been so peaceful, until one day in early February, Guan Zhengxing went to the collection point to pick up the courier, and walked back with two large boxes and a piece of mail, and he didn't know what was inside.

After tearing the package, there were two boxes of drawing utensils, and an email from abroad, and after opening it, there was a letter and a contract, with an employment agreement written on the cover, and Johnny Johnson's name written on it, Guan Zhengxing thought he was wrong.

The letter was concise and to the point that he would help Guan Zhengxing repay all the debts owed by the country, on the condition that he would join his team, earn the same amount of money within three years, and continue to extend the contract if he could not. If he agrees, sign the letter of appointment and mail it back to the company, and someone will be sent to handle the relevant matters as soon as he receives the mailing letter.

Guan Zhengxing sat in front of the writing desk and looked at the contract all night, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number he had used, but in the empty room, there was only a voice prompt that the phone had been turned off. Click on Shen Zilu's WeChat and enter:

[Xiaolu, are you there? 】

After the message passed, he found that he had been blocked, after clicking to add, there was no response, clicking on Q.Q, and there was no Shen Zilu among his friends, which deleted all contact information.

Guan Zhengxing called Tan Xiao first, "Tan Xiao, it's me." ”

He asked Tan Xiao, Sheng Hailuo and all the people around him who were familiar with them, no one could contact Shen Zilu, and he didn't know where she went, Guan Zhengxing found out that not only he couldn't contact Shen Zilu, but everyone couldn't contact her.

Eventually, the call was made to Anya Choi. When pressed to dial, the heartbeat is fast.

Honk...... Honk...... Honk...... After three rings, it was connected.

"Hello?"

Guan Zhengxing was silent, "Auntie, it's me, Guan Zhengxing." ”

Cui Anya burst into flames, "Do you still have the face to call me?" ”

Guan Zhengxing lowered his head, "I'm sorry Auntie." ”

"You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for Xiaolu."

"Auntie, I want to ask Xiaolu's phone number?"

"What are you doing?"

Guan Zhengxing plucked up his courage, "I'm going to leave for a while, maybe a year, maybe two years. ”

"And then?" Cui Anya was furious, stood up and walked to the window, "Let Xiaolu wait for you?" Waiting for you for a year? Or two years? ”

Guan Zhengxing said, "Can you give me her number?" ”

"No, and, remember, I won't let Xiaolu wait for you."

Guan Zhengxing took a deep breath and exhaled......

"Auntie, I'm going to the United States, working in a design team of a master architect, I will pay off my debts on my own, and when I come back, I will get back everything I lost."

At that time, Shen Kangnian walked in from outside the door, and saw Cui Anya's face flushed, she has always been as elegant as her, and it is rare to see her angry and corrupt. Until I heard the voice, "Isn't everything you have lost, Xiaolu?" ”

Shen Kangnian's face sank, "Is that bastard boy?" ”

He walked over in a few steps, snatched his mobile phone, and yelled at the people inside, "Why are you still calling our house?" The marriage is divorced, and you deserve to call us? I tell you, it's impossible to ask for forgiveness now, don't say Xiaolu forgive you, I can't pass this level, and I will never let my daughter marry you for the rest of my life! You are so deceitful, my daughter can marry if you want to, and quit if you don't want to marry? At a good age, you have suffered and suffered so far that you have come to this day, you have left without even saying a word, you don't have to be ashamed, our family still wants it! ”

The tall man sat in an old chair with his shoulders slightly bowed and his head hanging down.

He said earnestly: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you and Auntie, and I'm even more sorry for Xiaolu." ”

"It's not uncommon in our family that you apologize!" After speaking, Shen Kangnian hung up the phone angrily, Cui Anya grabbed it, and the phone had been hung up, "Why are you hanging up." ”

Shen Kangnian's eyes narrowed, "Cui Anya, I made it clear to you today, this kid's phone is not allowed to be answered in the future, if you dare to answer, don't blame me for turning my face with you." ”

Cui Anya watched people stride out of the office and shouted at his back: "Why did you take my phone away?" ”

With a bang, Shen Kang threw the door without looking back.

When Guan Zhengxing dialed Cui Anya's phone again, he heard the sound of the shutdown prompt.

Guan Zhengxing mailed the signed documents back to the company in the United States, and then the lawyer began to help Guan Zhengxing perform the relevant repayment procedures, because to rush an architectural design project, everything was handled quite efficiently, and the time for Guan Zhengxing's flight to the United States was also determined, on March 1.

Before leaving, Guan Zhengxing called Tan Xiao and a few other friends to ask if anyone had seen Shen Zilu, and the answers were the same, she didn't even attend the class reunion after the Spring Festival every year, and no one knew where she went.

He told Tan Xiao the news of leaving, and if he could see Shen Zilu, ask him to help bring her a message.

- Wait for me to get back.

Tan Xiao said: "Guan Zhengxing, it's not me who speaks for Brother Lu, this matter is on me, I won't forgive you for the rest of my life." You look down on people too much, what? Is Brother Lu with you for your money? Oh, don't forget, when you had nothing, Brother Lu followed you. Besides, in terms of the conditions of Brother Lu's family, how much money is there for you? ”

Guan Zhengxing was silent for a while before he said: "Tan Xiao, I know that you don't understand me, and I also know that this matter makes Xiaolu too aggrieved, and the most indifferent thing I have done in my life is to break up with her." But have you ever tasted being surrounded by a group of debt collectors greeting the whole family? The scolding is so ugly that I have never seen in my life. Have you ever tried a door that was splashed with red paint and hung with dead chickens and dead mice? Have you ever lived in a basement? Do you know how cold a basement can be? Have you ever tried eating only one steamed bun a day to save money? Sometimes you can't eat and go to sleep, thinking that you won't be hungry when you fall asleep, but you don't know that people can't sleep at all when they're hungry, and then they drink water. Have you ever suffered from someone else's white eyes? Look at you like a beggar. In order to make more money, I even designed a chicken coop, can you believe it? Then I ran most of Beijing to send drawings, just a few dollars were hacked by the boss, I went to the boss to ask, almost was interrupted by the worker to get the money back. ”

Thinking back to what he had experienced, Guan Zhengxing laughed self-deprecatingly, "How do you say I am willing to let my favorite woman live this kind of life with me?" I'd rather let her hate me than let her be scolded, live in the basement, eat steamed buns and drink cold water, be blinded by strangers, and watch me come back covered in dirt and chicken feathers. ”

"Alas......" Tan Xiao sighed, "I don't know what to say." ”

Guan Zhengxing said: "You must help me convey it to Xiaolu and tell her to wait for me to come back." ”

"Got it. She hasn't deleted my WeChat yet, and she should be able to see it if I leave her a message. ”

"Okay, thank you."

"When you get to the United States, no matter how well you are doing, send us a letter."

"Okay."

March 1.

At Beijing Airport, Guan Zhengxing stood at the security checkpoint in a suit and leather shoes, and he called Cui Anya, but no one answered the phone for a long time. Shen Kangnian looked at the number on the screen, his face was dark, and Cui Anya on the other side rolled his eyes, "He must have something to call, take it." ”

Shen Kangnian snatched the phone, "Fortunately, I came, otherwise you would definitely have answered." ”

"Hey...... Why are you taking my phone again. ”

Shen Kangnian strode out of the office.

Cui Anya shook her head helplessly.

Sitting on the plane, Guan Zhengxing clicked on Shen Zilu's WeChat, and the conversation bar still showed that the two were not friends, he clicked Add Friends and entered information:

[I'm going to the United States, wait for me to come back]

The phone turned to airplane mode, and the plane also drew the runway and leapt into the clouds......

……

During the May Day holiday, Jiang Zhou boarded the plane to Feimangshi the night in advance, and it was already early the next morning when he arrived in Mangshi.

He booked No. 67 luxury garden villa at Mangshi Yuezhuang Resort Hotel, which he noticed the last time he went, and this villa was the closest to Shen Zilu's residence.

After checking in, Jiang Zhou went to a nearby flower shop and bought a large handful of red triangular plums.

When it was almost time to take a lunch break, Shen Zilu was still buried in sorting out the hotel's financial accounts, when someone knocked on the door, and she didn't raise her head:

"Please come in."

The door opened, the footsteps came from far and near, and suddenly the eyes were bright red, and the fragrance of flowers was on the face.

Shen Zilu raised his head, and Jiang Zhou smiled: "Long time no see." ”

“…… Lawyer Jiang? ”

"The last time I came to live for a week, I found that this place is particularly suitable for relaxation, this holiday was booked in advance, fortunately, it was booked in advance, the secretary told me yesterday that the room was full."

The door was knocked down again, and before Shen Zilu could respond, the door had been pushed open, and Rong Junpei stood at the door and said, "Manager Shen, there will be a meeting in a while." Seeing Jiang Zhou holding flowers in his hand, he smiled, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

The moment the door closed, Shen Zilu reached out to stop it, "Hey...... You are mistaken! ”
