The woman approached me and smiled.

"Mr. Big Country, are you here to smash the field with me?"

I looked at her smile and forgot where I was for a moment.

"You... You? I froze, stiff and speechless.

There was lightning and thunder in the head, buzzing.

"No, how can it be so coincidental? Or is it another person, in the same situation as Dazhi's cousin and Lan Hong'er, the two of them look too similar, right? ”

"If it's sure to be true, coming to the clubhouse here is another elaborate arrangement of Dazhi."

My numb appearance was similar to the high-profile demeanor of the waiter arguing and shouting just now.

The service manager looked at me, at their boss, and was also confused, he must have wondered why I seemed to be a different person all of a sudden.

"The boss... This gentleman he... He. The waiter looked at me, spoke to their boss, turned his face to look at the female boss's expression, and suddenly became scruples about what he said, as if he was stuck in his mouth with hesitation and caution.

"You don't have to worry about it, this gentleman wants to ask me for tea in our clubhouse, you can arrange my tea room and invite him to my place for tea." After the woman finished speaking, she smiled at me again, turned around and walked away lightly.

"Okay." , the service ecology humbly agreed, and made a gesture of please to me.

"Mr. Great Power, please come with me."

I didn't come to my senses, and followed him without saying a word, as if I had been enchanted.

Walking through a screen, the vision in front of us suddenly opened up again, we entered a courtyard, there is a small lake in the courtyard, the lake is connected to the cloister is a household arch bridge, across the small bridge, there are several exquisite rooms distributed on both sides of the corridor, the exterior decoration of the room is completely pastoral style, simple and solemn, the whole courtyard is like an unknown outdoor paradise, quiet, just a small lake in the courtyard, occasionally there are a few frogs.

I was taken into a tea room, the tea room is not big, and the room is very warmly furnished.

The woman had already made tea and was sitting there waiting for me.

The waitress led me to her and respectfully withdrew.

I sat across from the female boss, and the comfortable surroundings calmed me down.

"Big country, I haven't seen you for so many years, do you remember my aunt?" The woman said to me as she poured tea, and as soon as the words fell, she giggled to herself.

The mystery has been completely revealed, she is indeed Lan Gu, and I am a little ashamed of the disturbance just now.

Looking at the familiar face, I smiled embarrassedly.

I can't help but feel a little restrained, as if I have suddenly returned to the bridgehead hut that has been flooded by heavy rain for more than ten years.

It's a bit of a world away.

"You... How are you doing after all these years? My question was a bit abrupt.

"What do you say?" Lan Gu glanced at me keenly and asked rhetorically.

Her sharp answer left me speechless for a moment.

For so many years, I have experienced hardships as a big man to start a business, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and my life has just improved a little, not to mention that she is a woman?

Thinking of this, I took a closer look at her.

Lan Gu's appearance has not changed, but the years have left indelible marks on her face.

She noticed my gaze, silently lowered her head to make tea, and cleaned the tea set.

After a moment of silence, she sighed.

It kind of gave me a clear answer.

"How can I say it, what you said is very bad, and it hasn't reached that point, what you said is good, let alone good, so-so, starting a business alone, bittersweet and sour, and I have experienced everything."

It's an understatement, but I can fully grasp what kind of emotions are involved.

It seems that her situation is similar to mine, and the history of grassroots struggle is accompanied by blood and tears, and no one can be smooth sailing.

Stumbling at the bottom of the society, the starting point is low, and the cost of doing one thing will definitely be relatively large.

Overall, we were lucky to catch up with the good times of the country, although the process was difficult, but at least we persevered, and we also made some achievements.

I took a sip of my tea while savoring what she said.

"What about you? How are you doing? Lan Gu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and glanced at me quickly.

"You're fatter than you used to be, and you're a lot more energetic." , she adds, also seems to be thinking back to what my high school days were.

"It should be much better now, right?"

"Me? I just solved my food and clothing problem, and I don't know how I survived all these years. ", I replied honestly.

"I'm in business like you, and I've suffered a lot in the past, but now I'm so-so, so I can count myself as having a little success."

"I know that." , she smiled slightly.

"People who don't have any achievements can't be guests of our club." After she finished speaking, she smiled knowingly again.

"But you can make an exception in the future, my aunt still gives you the green light, you don't need to make an appointment, you can come to me for tea at any time."

Her words made me laugh too.

Chatting and communicating with Lan Gu is always getting better and better, and it is the most pleasant thing in the world.

"How much did Dashi spend with you to become a premium member?"

I teased her in a somewhat ridiculous tone, but I was still quite curious, and I remembered this topic, and by the way, I found out if her business had a promising future.

She covered her mouth with one finger and "shhh---hh ”

I was a little embarrassed to be teased by her.

"Don't get me wrong, I also want to become your member, I asked this just now, I want to know how to join?"

When Lan Gu saw that I really wanted to understand her business methods, her expression became serious.

"My kind of business, in fact, is quite niche, membership system, all members are through the hometown association, chamber of commerce, friendship and other ways, through acquaintances to introduce acquaintances to join, and there is a limit to the scale, the place is too small, will not develop many members, to ensure the quality of service, to ensure normal operation on the line, so it has not been big, but after this period of development, the circle has gradually become a little famous."

She should be telling the truth.

All successful business models are to pay attention to the word "exquisite", the so-called "fine" is to be shrewd, fine, and do things that others can't do; The so-called "skillful" is to be ingenious, good at speculation, and the mode of operation must be ingenious, only in this way will there be a chance to succeed.

The essence of Langu's clubhouse operation model lies in these two words.

The fact that the service of her club can attract Dazhi to become a member shows that the business is indeed unique, and from what I know about Dazhi, he is a good man who pays attention to quality but never spends money indiscriminately.

I talked to her about a lot of related topics, and before I knew it, a long time had passed.

I looked at my watch, and the two-hour time I had agreed with Dazhi was getting closer and closer.

Lan Gu glanced at me and guessed my thoughts.

"Are you leaving?" , there seems to be some reluctance in the words.

"Yes, buddy who came with me, he did swimming and fitness projects, the time is up, I guess it's coming out soon." , I replied honestly.

"Oh, let's go." , she answered.

Poured me another cup of tea.

"Then finish the last cup of tea of the day."

I picked up the teacup and glanced at Lan Gu.

Just kidding her.

"Why does what you just said sound so familiar?"

"What?"

It's the phrase "Let's go." As soon as I said it, I regretted it a little.

These were the last words that Lan Gu said to me in the dry water riverside hut in my hometown for decades.

Back then, when the Qiaotou hut was lingering and parting, how sad that sentence was to me.

The woman Bingxue was smart, and she immediately understood what I meant, and she lowered her head, and her face flushed.

Under the light, she looked like the little girl back then, shy and charming.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tea room was a little ambiguous, and I was a little embarrassed and overwhelmed.

"You're still the same fool you were back then!" , Lan Gujiao said angrily, as if she was talking to me, and she seemed to be talking to herself.

"If I tell you today, don't go, will your wife eat you when she goes back?" , she then added, and after speaking, her face was red as if she had just been dyed.

"Wife?" , I remembered Lin Xue'er who had just abandoned me, and smiled bitterly embarrassedly.

"My wife doesn't know where she is. No one looks up to me. In front of Lan Gu, I always behaved like a child, and I didn't even hold back my emotions.

"What about you? I remember when you said that you would marry far away from the provinces. After saying that, I fell into remorse again, and I knew that this question should not be asked again.

Lan Gu didn't answer me right away, she picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and let out a long sigh.

"If I say I'm not married, do you believe me?"

It seems that emotionally, we are all losers.

She stared into my eyes, the light above her head reflected in her eyes, and there seemed to be a mist of fire in her eyes.

I bowed my head in such a burning gaze.

Like a child who has done something wrong, shy and guilty.

After more than ten years of separation, there is no news, and it is very undesirable to meet suddenly and talk about such a topic, and besides, am I also an emotional disappointment to her?

I didn't do a thing for others, I didn't even have a greeting, and when I was talking to other girls, how could I ever think of her?

When she was a woman working hard outside and couldn't eat or sleep, how could I ever give her a trace of care?

As a man, what right do I have to know about the past of more than ten years?

"Don't think about it, go back to sleep, it's not too early, your friends should be waiting for you outside." Lan Gu stopped looking at me and said softly.

I stood up and prepared to take my leave.

Lan Gu also stood up, she was still thin and tall, still half a head taller than me.

Escorted me to the door of the tea room, and before the door opened, she suddenly hugged me behind her back.

I felt wet and hot on my neck, and when I looked back, I saw that her eyes were misty.

"I often come to drink tea in the future." Lan Gu's tone was a little choked.

"I've been thinking about you all the time." , she whispered, her voice weak.
