I turned on the phone, but found the missed call of the old security guard, I did leave the phone last night, and he now has only this number in the mobile phone address book, smiled helplessly, the only remaining old man does not know what to do with himself, his performance last night was like a down-and-out middle-aged man, there is really not much use value, so he also called back.

"Brother Qiang, what are you doing?"

"You kid shouldn't just come back this time to visit his alma mater, right? I still have some of your old things, if they are useful, you can take a trip, I don't know what to do with these things, they are all lost at school, since you are back, you can clean up your things, I don't know how long these things can be stored......"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Qiang, I'll be here right away."

Zhen Hua could hear the loneliness in his words, maybe he was also the first person to return to school after he was down, otherwise he wouldn't have received this phone call, maybe he was also the first old man he saw when he was down.

walked to the alma mater, but found that a group of people gathered at the gate of the school, surrounded the old security guards, looking unkind, but the old security guards were still as good as they were back then, looking like a husband and a man, but the appearance of a lame leg is really pitiful, an old man in the middle of his life faces dozens of people, looking so embarrassed.

Zhen Hua wanted to squeeze through the crowd and rush in, but what could he do if he rushed in? He was no longer the reckless teenager, reason imprisoned him in place, looking at dozens of young people with baseball bats, he had a powerless exhaustion, ready to turn away, but somehow, an inexplicable force burst out of his body, causing him to squeeze through the crowd, and a few brisk steps to the old security guard's side.

When he stood beside the old security guard, he was not afraid, but ignited a trace of excitement, I don't know how long it has been, the last time he faced such a scene I don't know how many years ago, and he was about to "show his skills" to test whether he was really young, but he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man led by him, his face was full of shock, and he even forgot the situation at this time.

"Li Hao? How are you? ”

The middle-aged man at the head didn't know why an inexplicable person appeared in front of him, let alone why the other party could call out his name, and he didn't have this person in his impression.

"I'm Zhen Hua, Haozi, have you forgotten? At the beginning, we hid in the toilet and smoked together, skipped class and skipped school together, and we were corporal punishment by the dean together......"

Li Hao seemed to recall, this is a person who has disappeared for nearly twenty years, his best brother in high school, but he has no contact after graduation, and he is about to forget this person, but looking at the living Zhen Hua, he can't control his feelings anymore, and hugs Zhen Hua.

"Brother Hua!"

Zhen Hua was also immersed in the joy of the reunion of his brothers, but there was always someone who ruined this touching atmosphere, and that person was the old security guard, who walked in front of them with a stump leg.

"Li Hao, if you want to take this land, you must first step on my corpse!"

Li Hao also put Zhen Hua behind him, took the document in his hand and shouted: "The contract says in black and white, this land has long been owned by our company, do you know if you do this, I can go to court to sue you!" If it weren't for the love of the past, it wouldn't be us, but the police! ”

Zhen Hua was stunned, he had just arrived, he didn't know what was going on, he just wanted to come forward to ask, but he saw that the old security guard was crazy and snatched the documents in Li Hao's hand and tore them to pieces, and even stepped on them several times with hatred.

"This is just a copy, its legal benefits still exist, I advise you to get out of the way quickly, don't affect our construction!"

Zhen Hua seemed to see the cattiness, and hurriedly hugged the old security guard who wanted to do it.

"Brother Qiang, calm down! What can't you sit down and talk about? Haozi, let's sit down and have a good talk, it's better than a stalemate here, right? ”

Li Hao also agreed with his point of view, and ordered a young man to leave first, and he and Zhen Hua walked into the small security room, if it wasn't for the old security guard who didn't let Li Hao enter the campus, they wouldn't have to crowd into the small security room.

Zhen Hua sat between them, in case something happened, no matter which side made a move, he had a chance to stop it.

"Can you tell me a little bit about the situation now? Let's take a long-term view. ”

Li Hao never hid it in front of him, even if the two hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, Li Hao still hadn't changed his previous boring temperament, let alone hidden anything from Zhen Hua.

"Brother Hua, you may not know when you just came back, our school was abandoned five years ago because of poor management, and a new school should have been built here, but then for some reason, it turned into a piece of commercial land, which was won by our company, our company is doing real estate business, and this more than 150 acres of land will be built into a high-end community, but this old man is too stubborn, we took the government's certificate to collect the land, but he didn't let us in, and guarded the door every day, Say anything without the permission of the old principal, no one will be allowed to enter. ”

"The principal said that this land can only be used for school construction, and must not be abused by you black-hearted real estate developers!"

Zhen Hua understands, this can't be completely blamed on Li Hao, the battle just now is just a helpless move, and those young people just now don't look like gangsters in society at all, otherwise how can they be frightened by an old man in his old age, this can basically be regarded as the old security guard's nonsense, and he didn't call the police to deal with it.

"Then you didn't ask the old headmaster to solve it?"

"The old principal has long run away, how can we find him, when the school closed, the old principal could not be found, it seems that he was involved in a commercial fraud, and he is still being pursued, where can we go to find the old principal? And this old man does not enter the oil and salt, we really have no way, our company won the bid last year, but until now has not started, our real estate has been pre-sold, do you know how much loss our company has caused because of this old man? Brother doesn't hide it from you, the company has not developed well in recent years, this is already the last capital for the brother to turn the tables, if the old man continues to mess around, I can only call the police to deal with it. ”

Zhen Hua can see that the years have smoothed out too many edges and corners, even Li Hao has adapted to the rules of society in the grinding plate of the years, not everyone is like him, there is no need to worry about life, after all, there are only a few people who are successful in their careers, Li Hao is now also the CEO of a company, and he deigns to collect the land at the school gate, which is already benevolent and righteous, Zhen Hua can understand that there are also real estate projects in his industry, but how can there be a boss who personally solves such trivial matters.

"As I said, no one can take this land without the consent of the old principal!"

Zhen Hua looked at the stubborn old security guard, Zhen Hua knew that this was the post that the old security guard had adhered to over the years, and he also knew how much affection he had invested in this school.

"Then do you think this is good, everyone takes a step back, Brother Qiang, you let them build, but Haozi, you have to change the original plan and build this land into a private school, and I will bear the loss of your company's pre-sale of real estate, and I will also pay for the cost of recruiting teachers and administrators, do you think this is okay?"

When the old security guard heard Zhen Hua's words, he had to say that he had compromised, as long as this piece was not used for other purposes, he would have no more opinions, but Li Hao frowned.

"Brother Hua, you may not know, our company bought the qualification for the use of commercial land, but if you want to change the use of land, it is not something I can say, it needs to go through a series of cumbersome procedures such as application and approval, and the cost is also huge, not that my brother looks down on you, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear this huge amount of money now, even if you finally come up with so much money, what is the point? Jianning City's teaching resources are close to saturation, and even if we bring in teachers from other places, we won't be able to make any money at all. ”

Li Hao looked at him meaningfully, hoping that he would give up this ridiculous idea, but he didn't respond. Zhen Hua looked at him with hot eyes, hoping that he could understand that a school does not represent its superficial value, but carries too much.

"Haozi, I know that you have adapted to the law of the jungle over the years, but you must know that this school is not just an ordinary piece of land, do you want to eradicate all the memories of our time here? Can you bear it? We all had the idea of overthrowing the school, but how did you feel when the school actually closed? Will it feel exhilarating? You know in your heart that there are too many indelible traces here, and how can you bear to eliminate them all? ”

Of course Li Hao understands, but with so many people under his hands waiting for his salary, he can't abandon this huge profit because of his personal feelings, and this is not a cruelty to his own employees? How long does it take for a school to be approved? He doesn't know, he doesn't know how long it will take to recover the cost, he can't afford to wait, his employees can't wait, if he is alone, he can agree to Zhen Hua's request, but now he is not, he has his own family, his employees also have their own families, he needs to consider the interests of too many people, and it is simply unrealistic to agree to Zhen Hua's suggestion, so in the face of his former brother, he can only say sorry.

"I'm sorry, Brother Hua, I really can't agree to this condition, if you stand in my position, you may have to make the same choice, I can only start construction according to the original plan. Brother Qiang, I can only say I'm sorry, tomorrow I will bring someone over to measure, if you continue to stop it, I can only ask the police for help, I hope it doesn't get to that point, it's not good for you and me, and I don't want things to go in that direction. ”
