Chapter 2 Why is it always you?

After arriving at the airport, the old man was ready to get out of the car, he seemed to have forgotten the money-making work mentioned, and Zhao Mai did not ask. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the things at home made him panic in his heart, he still had to do his best to be polite. The old man's luggage was a large suitcase, the kind of old cowhide suitcase, with a polished brown surface and a copper lock, which did not look ordinary. But the biggest problem with this thing is that it doesn't have wheels, so it's very troublesome when you move it into the trunk of the car, and even more so when you remove it.

Zhao Mai ran two steps quickly, pushed the luggage cart at the airport, put the box with 40 pounds in place, and taught the old man how to use it, and reminded the old man to check in his luggage and not miss the check-in.

"I've been on multiple planes, and I'll do all of that. The old man smiled and said, "You still have to earn money, don't waste time with me." Good boy, get busy. ”

In fact, there is nothing to be busy with, just turn on your phone and adjust your status to "waiting for passengers". The airport is so far away from the city, if the empty car goes back, it will be a big loss, but fortunately, the flow of people here is still good, as long as you wait a little longer, you can always receive passengers.

The sound of the mobile phone prompt rang, and the old man's taxi money and ten yuan reward went to his account together. Zhao Mai was about to take advantage of this time to log in to the mobile banking, so that he could send all the money in his account to his family, but he didn't expect that the mobile phone, which had never malfunctioned, suddenly went black.

Just a moment before the black screen, he also saw a taxi list......!

It was the slowest boot ever, and it took a full ten minutes to get back to the desktop. Zhao Mai checked it, and there was nothing abnormal about the phone, and it didn't seem to be installed with any rogue software, so he continued his unfinished work. There are still more than 10,000 yuan in the bank account, and the odds are left for food, rent, and gasoline, and the rest is sent home.

Maybe you should stop renting and go home, so you can save some money, but then you will expose your current unemployment. Mom and Dad are very traditional people, and they definitely don't think that writing novels and driving taxis online is a serious career, especially for his eldest son in his twenties. Although my parents righteously said that they would not care about themselves after the age of eighteen, to be honest, their concern has not diminished at all.

Zhao Mai was born as an only child, and when he was young, his father was often absent, and he followed the scientific research team to run around in the mountains and wilderness, and he could see each other several times a year? When he was originally called Zhao Yimai, he was really a big man in the family. "Clothes come to open his mouth, food comes to stretch his hands", he will only be raised into waste.

Later, because of the job transfer, his father stayed in the office more and no longer ran around, and it was at this time that his education was really re-grasped. Zhao Mai used to hate being disciplined very much, often lost his temper, his father was not merciful, and the soles of his shoes and brooms were not used less, and the relationship between the two was tense for a while.

Later, he heard his parents arguing, and his mother blamed his father for being too cruel to the child and that it was wrong to hit the child. Zhao Mai wanted to hear how his father, who had always been strong, continued to play tricks this time, and then went out to mock him, but he didn't expect to hear his father say this:

"I wasn't around him when he was younger, and I missed him more than any of you. But it's because I love him that I can't let him be a waste. I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that he can be a responsible person, at least for himself, and self-reliance is the minimum standard, right? You dot on him too much, follow him in everything, and then wait for him to go to society, and drown in the oncoming waves? At the beginning, when I beat him, he couldn't even howl, and he smiled with a fat face. Now at least I know that I am ashamed, and I am making fewer and fewer mistakes. How many years can I beat him? He's going to be taller and stronger than me, and he's going to have a mature personality. Before then, I must change his temperament, lest he be destroyed at your hands!"

Zhao Mai was lying on the door, unable to fully understand these words at the time, but finally remembered them. He began not to give his father a reason to beat himself, and he slowly became a "good boy". Although his grades in the exam were not good, he could only go to a second-rate high school, but later worked hard and was finally admitted to a first-class university.

This is not based on the relationship between the doctor's father, it is completely the result of his own efforts, and he has indeed made the family happy for a long time. A small car was a very rare gift at the time, and it also strengthened his determination to be self-reliant, and also made him quite confident among his peers. As soon as I graduated, I dared to fire my boss, which also has a lot to do with this kind of character.

But if you want to be independent and free, you have to take many more risks than ordinary people. In a group, you can keep your head down and be a lamb, and if you want to make a living on your own, you must have the spirit of a tiger or a bear. Zhao Mai knew that he couldn't become a completely lone tiger bear, and his biggest expectation was to become a bloody wolf. It's just that now this wolf still needs to take care of the wolf pack, especially the aging head wolf.

He had never smoked, but now he really wanted to have one, maybe he could relieve his emotions in the smoke. Park your car in a temporary parking area and pick up the cigarette that a passenger once left on the car from the glove box. As soon as I pressed the cigarette lighter, my phone rang.

It's not yet seven o'clock in the morning, and it's my mother who calls. Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and stabilized his mind before pressing the connect button.

"Son, how are you doing? What happened when I saw a sum of money?" Mom's voice was still gentle, but Zhao Mai could still hear a little tiredness.

"Ah, I recently got a bonus, and I don't know what gift to buy for you, so I sent it all back, after all, cash is more affordable, hehehe. Zhao Mai pretended to be relaxed, trying to squeeze out the voice of the hippie smile. "I'm a man now, I can earn money and support my family, so you let me do my filial piety. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, except for the sound of shaky breathing. Zhao Mai listened with his ears, his brain was completely wooden, and he didn't know how to speak. He wanted to say a few words to comfort his mother, but his parents had their own stubbornness, and their concealment was also a kind of kindness. And goodwill should never be undermined.

"You take care of yourself, we're relieved. Your dad is an old stubborn, and he can't open his mouth when he says good things, so you just understand. Remember that we all care about you. If you have something to do, you can be busy, the family is fine, and there are younger brothers and sisters by our side, you don't have to worry. ”

In the end, my mother didn't say anything and put the pressure on her shoulders. Zhao Mai decided to do the same, which is a characteristic of their family. After a few words of greeting, Zhao Mai hung up the phone. The warm time is over, and now it's time to figure it out.

As Mom said, Dad was a very strong and stubborn person, with a hint of pedantic temper. He is always matter-of-fact, very serious, in other words, not very good at getting along with others. Zhao Mai has never seen any friends from his family since he was a child, and he rarely sees his father go to visit or socialize. Even if there were some friends he didn't know, Dad wouldn't ask for help.

Mom is a warm-hearted and kind woman, but she doesn't know any rich people, and it's unlikely that she will want to borrow money. Thinking about my situation, it is not good, I have only graduated from the mathematics department for more than a year, I have been working for less than nine months, and I don't know many people in society. If you want to say that the only one who has enough spare money to lend to him, it is only a friend in the same dormitory, Wang Tianhua, nicknamed "His Royal Highness the Prince".

If he can only be summed up in one word, it is idleness, a master who does everything except play. It's a pity that he has an indescribable ugly face, otherwise with his young age and generosity, how can he have a "reputation" of being amorous.

Zhao Mai knows his roommate very well, and he looks giggling on the surface, but in fact he is definitely a hypocritical person. He has an unparalleled wariness of strangers, and specializes in harassing people close to him. I don't know which of his tendons is twitching, I firmly believe that Zhao Mai is a good brother that I can trust, and after getting to know each other back and forth, I have indeed become a good brother who talks about everything. After graduation, the two have maintained frequent contact.

The phone rang and it was answered quickly. "His Royal Highness the Prince" would never have gotten up so early, the only possibility was that he had finished an all-nighter. Before Zhao Mai could speak, a heavy and hoarse smoke voice came from the opposite side:

"Old man, is there still a party this Saturday? I'll bring a newcomer girl over, how about running a group together?"

"I'm sorry, there's something going on at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to get together this week. You can also help me tell my friends in the group. ”

"Hmph, say it yourself, I'm not your microphone!" His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly lowered his voice, and said with eyebrows winked at the microphone: "This time the girl is very beautiful, if you don't run a group to try out her true temperament, I can't do it!"

"If you are very beautiful and still chase you, you must have not passed the will test, or the kind of self-deception skills are particularly high, you better be careful. And running a group is a game, not a lie detector, what can you see? Are you still pointing to this blind date?"

"I love playing this, especially with the fantasy party you run. If she can't even play with me, can I expect her to live with me? When will the group start, you must tell me, and I will fly back in advance. ”

"By the way, if I ask you to borrow money, how much interest will you give me?"

"You don't even ask if I lend it to you?" Wang Tianhua's snorting voice came from the earpiece, and then there was a few seconds of silence. "I can call the shots for thousands, tens of thousands, but I won't use the bigger ones, my mother has the final say. However, the two of us can do business together, and if it is counted as an investment, it will be much more flexible. You write a project, it doesn't matter what the content is, it's okay whether you make money or lose money, as long as there is such a procedure. My mom always wanted me to come out and work, and kept pushing me. If you can help me cover for a few years, this can be done. ”

"Deceive the Queen, I'll weigh it......" Thinking about the aunt who was described by his son as "hideous", but every time he was kind to him, Zhao Mai always felt unsure.

"Old man, what I just said is not to tease you, if you encounter a difficulty, just say a number, I am better than you to find a way. ”

"Okay, with your words at the bottom, I'm much more relieved." The two of them were so familiar that they couldn't say thank you, so they hung up the phone after a few words.

Although Wang Tianhua's family has money, it is not blown by the wind. And using his brother's money and using his brother's mother's money are still two different things, so Zhao Mai still tried to find a way on himself after hanging up the phone. Contact your classmates and friends in the hospital to find out the relationship first, so that the money can be spent in the right place. If there is a shortage in the end, he will naturally not let go of the "rich second generation". But if the money for his father's treatment did not include his own efforts, he would not be at ease.

I made a few more phone calls, and before I knew it, two hours had passed. After he figured out the general idea, he realized that he hadn't opened the car rental software, so he had never been able to grab it.

The finger quickly clicked twice, and before two seconds, the prompt sounded, and I took it easily, and I made a profit when I returned to the city. Zhao Mai hurriedly drove to Exit 4, but the person who got into the car was still the old man.

The large heavy suitcase in his hand was gone, and he was carrying only a metal briefcase with a silver-white hard shell. It's the kind of box that is common in movies, handcuffed to the wrists of hapless bodyguards, which either contain valuable gems or bombs. As soon as Zhao Mai's mind turned in this direction, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said to the old man with a wry smile: "It seems that you have no fate with the plane, but you have a deep fate with me." ”

The old man glanced at Zhao Mai, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and brought out a smile: "I really didn't expect it to be you, it seems that you can't escape and have to give me a ride." Just by what you said, the old man will not treat you badly. ”

"Where's your big box?" Zhao Mai thought about it and asked. "If you get on the plane to check in your luggage, you have to get on the plane when you have already checked in, and there is no reason why you can't go without a suitcase. ”

"Stinky boy thinks too much, I just store things here, I'm not a bad person. I had 10 hours to go before the next flight on my changed plane, and although the hotel at the airport was okay, the food was so bad that I still had to go into town. You drive very steadily, why don't you accompany me for a ride, and then send me back here? I'll keep you waiting, so as not to delay your earnings. ”

Zhao Mai breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded. He put down the handbrake, hung up the gear and said: "Then you sit down, now go back to catch up with breakfast, you can just open your mouth where you want to go." ”

"Is it okay anywhere?" the old man smiled incomprehensibly, picked up his mobile phone and swiped a few times, and then said to Zhao Mai: "Then you can follow the navigation." ”
