Chapter 131: "Hometown" Tavern (3rd Update)
On the phone, in the face of Jiang Xue's crazy output, I suddenly felt my brain buzzing.
I subconsciously put my phone on the table, turned on the speakerphone, and sighed before explaining.
"Cher, listen to me...... About Lao Wei's matter, I can't do anything about it, last night Lao Wei suddenly came back from his hometown after finishing things, and then I learned that he was going to leave Kyoto City next, I told Lao Wei, by the way, I asked you to have a meal together in the tavern in the evening, which was a farewell, but Lao Wei refused, he said that it would be fine for the three of us, and he didn't want too many people to come. ”
I paused and continued: "So you know, it's not that we don't want to tell you, it's Lao Wei's own request, and ...... Lao Wei's things in his family were enough to give him a headache. ”
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xue was silent for a while, softened her tone, and asked me, "Then can you tell me now?" Old Wei, what happened in his family? ”
When I was thinking about answering Jiang Xue's question, Gao Hangfeng came back here with two fast food, I subconsciously made a "shhh" gesture to him, pointed to my mobile phone on the table, and said two words to him with my mouth: "Xue'er".
Gao Hangfeng walked over to me, glanced at the mobile phone on my desk, and immediately nodded knowingly.
Seeing that I was silent and didn't speak, Jiang Xue on the phone hurriedly asked, "What about you?" What are you doing in secret? Speak. ”
"No, Xue'er, why don't you wait for me to come back tonight and talk to you in detail, after all, this is on the phone, and I can't say it clearly, and I'm busy......"
Before I finished speaking, Jiang Xue directly interrupted me: "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I will personally go to the tavern in the evening to ask the two of you for clarification, you are busy with your affairs first, hang up." ”
After Jiang Xue hung up the phone, Gao Hangfeng asked me with a frown while opening the two lunches he had just packed.
"Cher...... Did she ask you about Lao Wei? ”
He paused, and then hurriedly added, "No, we haven't talked to her about it, why did she know the news so quickly?" ”
I explained in a helpless tone: "It's Lao Wei, he posted a circle of friends by the way when he left, and then Jiang Xue happened to see it, so he called me to ask for the guilt...... Forget it, she will know about this sooner or later, the tavern is a place where we often come to it, and if there is one less person, how can we keep it hidden, just know it. ”
After that, I picked up my phone and prepared to check the circle of friends to see what Lao Wei had posted in front.
Gao Hangfeng At this time, he suddenly smiled bitterly, put one of the boxes of fast food on my table, and whispered.
"You see, even if it's about Lao Wei, such a big thing, Xue'er first thought of the person she wanted to know was you, not me, but we are obviously a circle of three people......"
Hearing what Gao Hangfeng said, I paused with my mobile phone in my hand, and my heart was full of complicated feelings for a while, but in order not to let this topic continue, I immediately glanced at Gao Hangfeng, looked at him and said.
"Dude, are you stupid? What's there to worry about this kind of thing, ask me, aren't they all the same? If you're jealous because of such small details, you'll be jealous in the future! ”
After speaking, I opened the circle of friends, pulled it down, and soon saw the content of the circle of friends that Lao Wei had posted before getting on the plane.
A piece of luggage and a selfie at the entrance of the airport in Kyoto City, with the caption read.
"Kyoto City, a short return, just to say goodbye better, goodbye."
Under Lao Wei's dynamics, I saw Jiang Xue's comment to him: "You're good, just leave, say goodbye, why don't I know anything?!" ”
However, Lao Wei was still on the plane and couldn't look at his phone, so he didn't reply to Jiang Xue's comment to him.
"Let's eat."
Gao Hangfeng pulled out a chair and sat down, and took the lead in eating the rice in the bowl. Not long after eating, he suddenly looked up at me and said to me with a serious expression.
"Old Xue, tell you something."
"Jealous again?"
"......" Gao Hangfeng glared at me and complained: "Eat your dead head!" I'm going to tell you about the tavern job, whatever! ”
I picked up the chopsticks, laughed at him twice, and said, "Okay, what's the matter, you can say it." ”
Gao Hangfeng thought for a while and said: "I think so, anyway, we have already thought about it, we have to promise Liang Ruoyun to let our tavern and Xingrui Foreign Trade cooperate in the supply of wine, or we don't delay it until tomorrow, just tell her today, it's good to have one less day." ”
I took two mouthfuls of rice, and after a moment of silence, I nodded slowly and said: "It also makes sense, but once I tell someone, it means that maybe I will come over tonight and sign the contract early tomorrow morning, and before that, we have to complete a task that Lao Wei gave us." ”
"Task? What kind of task? ”
"To change the name of the tavern, think of the name in advance, and then report it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and then when we talk to Liang Ruoyun about cooperation, we will use the new name of the tavern."
"Okay, then...... What is the right new name for the tavern? ”
"I want to think about it first." I put down my chopsticks, pulled out a tissue and wiped my mouth, and began to think of a new name for the tavern in my mind.
Recalling the process of Lao Wei's hard work all the way in Kyoto City, combined with several of us, we also worked hard for life and dreams here in Kyoto City, and slowly, familiar words began to emerge in my mind.
"I thought of it!"
Gao Hangfeng hurriedly leaned closer, looked at me with an expectant expression, and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's the name?" ”
"In the future, the new name of the tavern will be 'Hometown'!"
"Huh?!" Gao Hangfeng suddenly frowned and asked rhetorically, "Hometown...... Does the name have any special significance? ”
"Of course there is......" I picked up the box of cigarettes on the table, took out one and lit it, and then told Gao Hangfeng about the goodbye I had with Lao Wei in the video call at noon today.
With that, I took a puff on my cigarette and added.
"Lao Gao, think about it, I, you, and Lao Wei, as well as the vast majority of outsiders who stayed in Kyoto City to work hard, what is the significance of us coming to this city to drift north? It's nothing more than hoping that one day I can succeed, and then return to my hometown and return to my roots, if the development is very good, then maybe I can settle in Kyoto City and become my hometown, isn't the theme? ”
"If nostalgia is an emotion that all of us will have, then it would be good to regard the city where we have stayed and worked hard all year round as our 'second hometown', and there must always be a place of sustenance!"
I glanced at Gao Hangfeng, who had also lit a cigarette at this time, and continued to speak to him with a smile.
"The tavern, after all, is going back to the essence of business, and the name is the theme of this tavern, including future marketing activities, we can all position it well and clearly, and it will no longer be like before, it will be a 'headless fly', and it will be one out of the other."
Gao Hangfeng slowly exhaled the cigarette, nodded thoughtfully at me, and praised: "This sounds like the head, it seems to have a little truth, then let's follow the name you said!" Mainly, this name can also be very well in line with the scene when we said goodbye to Lao Wei, which can be regarded as a nostalgic sustenance! ”
After Gao Hangfeng and I decided on the new name of the tavern "Hometown", I also picked up my mobile phone and edited the message to Liang Ruoyun, telling her what the cooperation method I had chosen.
