I was speechless.

Profiteering? Yes, it is true that there are huge profits, because even in 1994 the profits of real estate were breathtaking, the problem is that the profits are just as risky, after all, this was in the nineties, and the nineties were much more affected by government policies than in the 21st century.

What should I say to Li Shusheng?

At last I had to sigh and say, "Uncle Li, maybe I misled you. I'm a stupid boy who doesn't know anything about the world, after all. ”

Li Shusheng shook his head and said: "You don't go through the world, don't I go through the world either, this obviously doesn't make sense, because after all, the person who proved the most stupid in the end was me and not you." ”

I was speechless for a while, and Li Shusheng's words made everyone a little sad. And Chen Yan just looked at the ground sluggishly from the beginning, occasionally looked at us, and didn't say a word at all, and seemed to be in a very low mood all the time.

Li Shusheng then said: "I should also go, what I left to Hangzhou is just an unfinished project, a writers' village and cultural center on the drawings, and a so-called half-hung people's heart project." Although I was unwilling, there was no other way. I plan to get some more money when I go back to Hong Kong, and I will start doing business in the future. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not as good as Zeng Yongshan, at least people are selling bottle by bottle, I am losing money one by one, and I have to be scolded by people." But don't worry, the western style town will continue to be built, I have invested all the last funds into it, and I can't get it back anyway, so it's better to leave one of my industries in Hangzhou. ”

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing to give back to you." Li Shusheng held his forehead and pointed his finger at Chen Yan. Chen Yan knowingly took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Li Shusheng.

Li Shusheng took the paper, smiled while reading it, and then said to me, "Do you want this piece of paper?" That's a bet you've made on me. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood that this was the "gambling contract" I signed as a joke last time.

"Ten years, five hundred thousand to five million." Li Shusheng said to himself, his eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, and said to me: "Good boy, although this is crazy and ridiculous enough, I like your personality very much. ”

I said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lee, but I was too frivolous. ”

"It's a good feeling to be young and frivolous. I'm tired, I can't do it anymore. Li Shusheng said full of vicissitudes, "I think, maybe I have to retire early." ”

"Don't say that about Uncle Lee," I said excitedly, "to be honest, you are a very admirable entrepreneur in my eyes. ”

"Hmm." Li Shusheng nodded and said, "Okay, okay." ”

When the second good word was spoken, he quickly tore the gambling agreement to shreds and crumpled it into a ball.

I jumped up in surprise, and my hand unconsciously stretched forward, but Li Shusheng had already thrown the completely destroyed paper into the ashtray on the coffee table.

"Well, I've already returned it to you. If there is a fate in this life, let's see you again. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, his tall body standing even taller in the slightly cramped conference room.

After sending Li Shusheng away, I sat back on the sofa inexplicably, lying lazily, not knowing what I was thinking or what I should be thinking.

It was a long time before I picked up the letter that Li Yun had her father forward to me. When I opened it, there was only a thin piece of manuscript paper, on which was the poem I wrote in my freshman year, "Dust". It was this poem that Li Yun took away from me, because of this poem, we had our first kiss, and because of this poem, all the history I experienced changed. At least for the world of feelings.

Other than that, there was nothing, not a single word written by Li Yun. She didn't say anything about how she was doing in Hong Kong or what kind of friends she had at her new school, and for me, I don't know what Li Yun has become now.

However, how can I have a heavy sense of loss now? Why is this happening?

I remembered that Bao Lina once gave me a letter, and the letter also did not write anything, but copied my poem again. Only this time, Li Yun used the original, the original she took from me.

What does this mean? Does it mean that she gave me back the heart that once loved me again?

In any case, my heart was filled with unbearable anxiety and sadness, and strangely enough, this unbearable was mixed with some inseparable feelings, and I knew nothing about how strong and heavy these feelings were.

Two days later, before the final day of departure, I found Chen Hong.

I smiled and said to her, "Come and don't be rude." I have accompanied you to a place, and you will accompany me to a place. ”

"Where?" Chen Hong seemed a little overwhelmed by my surprise visit.

"You'll find out when you go." I smiled at her mysteriously.

I took Chen Hong to the intersection of Jiefang Road and Jianguo Road, where I remember a musical instrument shop. In the 90s, it was the largest musical instrument trading house in the city, but in the 21st century, the musical instrument store went bankrupt or relocated, who knows, in short, it will disappear in a few years.

Now, it's still in full swing, and many amateur music lovers consider it a holy place. The quality of the instruments sold in this shop is not bad, and the prices are very cheap. I remember that in my memory, I also visited this shop and fell in love with a guitar, but in the end, I thought it was too troublesome to memorize the guitar, and I thought I didn't have the talent to play an instrument, so I gave up. I didn't expect to be standing in front of this store again.

As soon as Chen Hong saw this musical instrument shop, he shouted: "Where you want me to accompany you, this is the place?"

"Yes," I said, "this is it." ”

I looked into Chen Hong's eyes and said, "Have you been here?"

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Well, I've been here before." ”

"Why are you here?"

"Buy a guitar with my brother."

"Alright, now please help me pick out a guitar too."

I said calmly.

Chen Hong shouted uncontrollably: "I won't pick it." You're crazy, are you going to learn guitar?"

"Yes." I said it in a calm tone, and I didn't think it was anything strange at all.

I said, "Is it too late to learn guitar?"

"Nope." Chen Hong shook his head with an expression of disbelief on his face. It's just that I don't understand why you suddenly want to learn guitar.

"Nothing." I said, "I don't have a plan for my life, I just do whatever comes to my mind." I hope that what I think of this time will not be half-done. ”
