Chapter 99: A Sudden Parting
Zhu Xiaohua smiled bitterly: "The hard work of the past few months, eighty or ninety thousand yuan, is only so much left now." ”
Jia Liang comforted him: "You still have the Xiaohua popsicle factory, and the retail network all over the place. ”
Zhu Xiaohua shook his head: "With this little capital, I can't support such a huge system at all." Moreover, now that the weather is starting to get cooler, popsicle sales are about to enter the off-season. If you want to turn the book again and return to the peak state, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”
Jia Liang also sighed: "It's so good, why is there such a big fire?" Do you know who did it? ”
"I don't know who did it, but I know who had the motivation to do it," Zhu said. However, then, they can't run either. ”
Zhu Xiaohua didn't expect that this sudden fire would burn his months of hard work.
Fortunately, he escaped death and successfully escaped.
If he really goes to the movies with Xie Xiaoya tonight according to the idea of Lao Qiao's family, and then returns to the wholesale center of this railway station to rest, then the person who died in the fire will undoubtedly be himself!
He looked at the skyrocketing fire, and thought of the banknotes that covered the entire desk, Zhu Xiaohua felt distressed.
He thought, I should have divided the money and at least kept some on the other side of Xuefu Road, so that it wouldn't be all gone in a fire.
The two returned to the motorbike on the edge of the square, and several public servants came to inquire about it.
"Are you the owner of this wholesale center?"
Zhu Xiaohua nodded and said, "I'm the boss here." ”
The official then asked: "Where were you when the fire caught fire, do you know who did it?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Originally, I was watching a movie, but I came back for something temporarily. I don't know who did it. ”
Zhu Xiaohua can tell them everything he saw in front of the wholesale center, or he can tell them directly, saying that he is suspicious of Li Shufen and the people of Lao Qiao's family.
But there is no conclusive evidence for all this, and his family's words may not be credible, doing so will only startle the snake, what he wants is a final word, and a blow will be hit.
The official asked them a few more questions, and eventually moved on to other witnesses.
Jia Liang looked at the blazing wholesale center again and said, "Old Qiao is finished, I didn't find him when I went upstairs, and I couldn't save him at all." ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Do you want to avenge Lao Qiao? ”
Jia Liang said: "Do you know who did it? ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I probably know. ”
He told Jia Liang what he saw in front of the wholesale center when he came back from leaving the cinema.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "When I came back, I saw two people from Lao Qiao's family pouring gasoline at the door, and I had seen them in their wholesale center. ”
Jia Liang was taken aback: "So, you knew that these people were going to set fire?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "This is what I want to explain to you. I thought that if I let Old Joe come over, these people would not dare to set fire, and Old Joe would be able to discover the conspiracy of these people by the way. It's just a pity ......"
Jia Liang said: "It's just a pity, these people didn't expect it to be Lao Qiao who went in, so they set fire to it directly." ”
Zhu Xiaohua: "The people of Lao Qiao's family didn't even let Lao Qiao go. ”
Zhu shook his head, these people did everything they could, but it was Lao Qiao himself who was harmed in the end.
Zhu Xiaohua got on a motorcycle and went to the nearest police station.
He stuffed the anonymous letter prepared in advance into the mailbox at the entrance of the police station and drove Jia Liang away.
Jia Liang asked, "What is written in it?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua: "A letter that can definitely bring down Li Shufen and make them never turn over." ”
Jia Liang said: "If this is the case, this anonymous letter should be regarded as our revenge for Lao Qiao." ”
After dealing with all this, Zhu Xiaohua rode the motorcycle directly to the door of the Hongqiao Cinema in Lucheng.
At this time, the movie has ended, most of the moviegoers have left, and only those who stay at the back are coming out in a sparse manner.
Zhu Xiaohua took out another letter from his pocket and held it in his hand.
Jia Liang was stunned: "It's another letter, Brother Zhu, how many letters do you have?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua: "This is the last one. ”
Zhu Xiaohua counted out a thousand yuan from the bag, found a newspaper to wrap it, sandwiched it under his armpit, and walked towards the movie theater.
The theater was empty, with only a few projectionists doing the final clearance.
Zhu Xiaohua walked into the hall, but Xie Xiaoya hadn't left yet. She was sitting in her seat, explaining something to the screening staff.
The staff said: "This is not a place to wait for people, the movie is already over, and we are going to get off work." Thank you for your understanding. ”
Xie Xiaoya said: "Please forgive me for the inconvenience, wait a while, he should be here immediately." ”
Zhu Xiaohua was moved, this stupid girl hasn't left yet.
Zhu Xiaohua walked over, pulled her up, and walked towards the outside of the theater.
Xie Xiaoya was startled at first, and then let him pull herself out of the screening room.
Xie Xiaoya said: "You are finally here, I thought you left me and left." ”
She returned her coat to Zhu Xiaohua and said, "This is the coat you put on the seat." I don't know what it means for you to leave your clothes here when you're gone? ”
Zhu Xiaohua smiled: "Leave my clothes to watch a movie with you, which proves that I have indeed been here." ”
Xie Xiaoya said: "Actually, there is no need to do this. I know you're busy, and if you want, it's the same if we watch a movie together another day. ”
Zhu Xiaohua's mood became heavy, and he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Xiaohua was silent for two minutes, then looked into Xie Xiaoya's eyes and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that we are not from the same era." I'm not sure when I'm leaving, so I'm afraid I won't be able to watch movies anymore. ”
Xie Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand Zhu Xiaohua's words. Thinking that Zhu Xiaohua said that she couldn't watch movies in the future, she felt sad for a while.
Zhu Xiaohua handed the newspaper and envelope to Xie Xiaoya's hands and said, "I'm leaving soon." The letter was forwarded to Chen Xiangwan, and in addition, there was a thousand yuan in this newspaper as everyone's severance pay. ”
Xie Xiaoya was not prepared at all, her eyes widened, and she asked, "Severed, why should you be dismissed?" Our popsicle business is so big, why is it suddenly going to be dismissed? ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Because of many things. In short, it is not a sentence or two that can explain it. After Chen Xiangmaru saw the letter, he knew what to do. ”
Xie Xiaoya said: "All this is too sudden. ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Now that it is about to enter the off-season, the popsicle market will shrink rapidly. In addition, there was a fire in the wholesale center of the railway station, and we did not have a wholesale center for the time being, and we did not have enough capital to support such a huge business operation. So I want to end this business.
"And very importantly, my brother and sister are missing, and I have to go back to them."
