After coming back, Yu Xiaoshan really stayed honestly for half a year, didn't do anything or write, just followed some of his original buddies and friends to chat and drink tea, and then read books and sleep to mess around. But after all, this is Yu Xiaoshan's C City, and the connections accumulated over the years have not only not been broken, but they are even more awesome.

Some of the small characters around him are now considered to be well-known figures in the city. And the relationship between these people and Yu Xiaoshan back then was not ordinary, not to mention most of the fateful friendships, but they can also be regarded as deep and righteous for each other, so he can quickly and completely pick up these relationships.

Those former fox friends and dog friends, who are still alive, are now all touching dogs, although they are no longer teenagers, but they do not forget the sincere feelings of youth, and they are really happy to get together together, and the kind of truth that does not need to hide and do not use hypocrisy makes people comfortable. It's easy to keep this kind of relationship, that is, never involve interests and money, you can always be so innocent, once those things are mixed in, everything will be messed up, which Yu Xiaoshan knows very well.

Yu Xiaoshan's first business when he returned to City C was completely accidental, it was after he stayed for half a year, a buddy of his many years called Dawei to open a video game city, and he couldn't do it for a while. It's not because of bad business or other reasons, it's just that his own relationship can't cover it, so he is kicked all day long, opened the door for two days and closed for ten days, and is basically in a state of yellow.

At this time, I found Yu Xiaoshan, and I said for a long time, which meant only one, not for Xiaoshan investment, just to help set things up, as long as I can continue to do it, give him half of the dry shares.

Yu Xiaoshan didn't take this as a thing at first, and thought that a small broken game hall of several hundred square meters could earn a few bucks, but when people asked for it, he couldn't refuse. So when I asked again, I said that it was my own business, and the game hall was saved.

Yu Xiaoshan didn't know about the game hall, he always mixed in it when he was a child, but he really didn't count how much money that thing could make, what he didn't expect was that the profit of this small broken shop in his hands in a month exceeded one million, which was a bit exaggerated, although the money came from the door relatively quickly, but this number still surprised Yu Xiaoshan a little.

Because he hadn't thought about this kind of business before, they wanted to pull him to do real estate all day long, but he was always annoyed and annoyed, and he felt bored, so he just didn't do it. I didn't expect this to be unintentional, the profit in a month is enough for him to write ten books, and he earns money every day when he sleeps, if he has ten books of manuscripts, his neck and want to be tired, what is the matter.

With the first business at the bottom, Yu Xiaoshan began to realize that the things that are tied to entertainment are really profitable, the money comes quickly, and he doesn't have to worry about it, in the spirit of doing it for a few days if he can.

Go on like this, two or three years, two video game cities, two massage parlors, a KTV, and a nightclub, although they are not serious businesses, but at least in Yu Xiaoshan's opinion, these businesses are simple and don't need to worry about anything, they sell services, buy happy, everyone is happy, and he also earns money.

The business is basically running normally, and he earns a lot of money, but this kind of business needs to be supported by a relatively large cash flow, so what is really left is that Xiaoshan does not have much money in his hands, but fortunately, his requirements are very simple, just enough to spend, and there is no big demand.

He doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, he doesn't want a brand to wear, he wants to be comfortable, and there are always pure cotton black T-shirts inside, dozens of pieces when he buys them, and the change of seasons is at most a piece of clothing outside. It's the same in winter, the only difference is that an oversized down jacket on the outside solves the problem.

When I was young, I was also vain, as long as the upper body must be a first-line brand, and there must be a LOGO on the bright side, as if I was very particular about it. Over the years, I have figured it out and understood, these are useless, and the value of a man is not in other people's eyes but in their hearts.

The consumption standard is that I like me to be comfortable, he can spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a teapot or a cake of old Pu'er tea, but he will never spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a bag, the reason is that he doesn't like it. Even his car, which cost more than 2 million, was forced by the small town to buy it, otherwise he would have finished the whole 200,000 or 300,000 yuan of transportation, anyway, it is the same, and the refueling is in the aisle.

Manager Liu set aside the best private room upstairs, and everything on the table was arranged, as well as Yu Xiaoshan's favorite Syrah red wine. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wu Peng and Zhou Ling took the girl to stand by the railing and watch the show on the stage downstairs.

Xiaocheng came over and said: "I just took a piece of land the day before yesterday, and I want to open a small market steadily, specializing in apartments, renting and selling simultaneously, are you interested in playing together?"

Yu Xiaoshan leaned back on the sofa and said lazily: "Don't tell me this, it doesn't mean anything at all, now I don't have to work hard to eat and drink in these businesses, it's boring enough, and I don't want anything else." Where my real interest lies, you know. ”

Xiaocheng said, "I know, write a book, then you write?"

Yu Xiaoshan took a sip of wine and said: "Nonsense! I have been trying to write in the previous stage, but I didn't feel out of state, and after writing a paragraph, I looked back and felt that what I wrote was like, so I deleted it immediately, and in the second half of the night, in front of the computer, and then that emptiness was too terrifying." You know? So much so that now I don't even dare to try, drink a little wine every day, and go to bed when I go back, which is good. ”

Xiaocheng said: "I don't understand, I really don't understand your writing people, how many hypocrisy, I will definitely be scolded for others, you and I can't control it, let's play by ourselves!"

Yu Xiaoshan said: "After all, one day I give up everything, I don't play anymore, just cat, let myself calm down, read books, write, life is on this, understand the wind and dust, comfort the years." ”

Xiaocheng was just about to say something, Manager Liu walked in, leaned on Xiaoshan's ear and said: "Mr. Yu, something happened below, a guest drank too much and made trouble for Mr. Xiaolong to clear out, and now he has brought a group of seven aunts and eight aunts back, and he is on the bar with Mr. Xiaolong below." ”

"Do you know what that person is?"

"You know, in the sand and gravel business, your good friend Hong Jun is his biggest customer. ”

Yu Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Okay, you go down and invite him politely, and I'll solve it." ”

After Manager Liu went out, Yu Xiaoshan stood up and walked to the front to look downstairs, in front of the stage, the two groups of people were looking at each other nervously, the music and the program were stopped, and a small number of guests who didn't think it was big enough were watching the excitement, and most of them saw this situation and quickly left. Xiaocheng stood up lazily and stretched his arms: "What the hell, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt still need you for this?"

Yu Xiaoshan smiled and said: "It's not practical, Xiaolong can handle it, but let's just catch up, don't let them bother with a word." ”

After a while, Manager Liu and Xiaolong walked in with that person, and the chatter also came with a group of people like tails, but unfortunately they were too timid to pile up at the door of the private room and didn't dare to come in.

That person was chubby, about one meter eight, about two hundred pounds, wearing a dress of bells and whistles, drunk and unable to stand, swaying back and forth, holding a big bag of LV grid and looking at Yu Xiaoshan with slanted eyes.

The two girls brought by Wu Peng and Zhou Ling were a little scared, so frightened that they hid back, and Xiaocheng nodded at them, meaning that it was okay. Xiaocheng has a bottom in his heart, and it has nothing to do with such a trivial matter as Yu Xiaoshan's brother in his twenties.

Yu Xiaoshan sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth and said to the man: "Hello, buddy, I am the boss here, my name is Yu Xiaoshan." Do you know me?"

The fat man glared and said, "You don't know you, you just say what you want." ”

Yu Xiaoshan continued: "That's it, buddy, I'll give you a minute to apologize and leave, and you are not welcome here, if you continue to find fault, I will use your head to guarantee that you can't get out of this door today." ”

After hearing this, the guy scolded: "You MB, who do you think you are!", and was about to move forward while scolding.

Xiaolong quickly resisted him, and was just about to start punching, Yu Xiaoshan waved his hand: "Long'er, don't make trouble for the police comrades." ”

As he spoke, he took out the phone and called it, then pressed the speakerphone, threw the phone on the coffee table, and the other party picked up the phone and said, "Xiaoshan, why are you calling so late?"

Yu Xiaoshan said: "It's okay, Hong Jun'er, there is someone who knows you playing in my field, he has something to say to you, you listen." ”

As soon as the fat man heard Hong Jun's voice, his body was no longer shaking, his feet were no longer slipping, his eyes were not slanted, and his thinking was very clear, and he bowed to the hands-free while saying: "Brother Jun, I am Zhang Dong, I am playing here with a few friends, I met Brother Xiaoshan, Brother Xiaoshan is very good and takes special care, I will think about calling and thank you." ”

Zhou Ling snorted next to him and was happy: "This monkey cub is eye-catching enough, no wonder the sand and gravel business is doing well, this is really treating Party A with the attitude of treating his father." ”

Without waiting for Hong Jun to speak, Yu Xiaoshan said to the phone: "Okay, Brother Jun, you can rest! With that, he hung up the phone.

The kid named Zhang Dong lowered his head and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, I was wrong, I was really wrong, what do you want to do, you ...... talk"

Yu Xiaoshan didn't listen to what he said anymore, and signaled to Xiaolong, and Xiaolong and Manager Liu pulled him out and closed the door of the private room.

After they went out, Xiaocheng touched Yu Xiaoshan with a wine glass and said, "It was these things every day back then, and I thought it was pretty awesome at that time." Looking at it now, it's really boring, it's all a game played by children, I really understand you. ”

Yu Xiaoshan thought for a while and said: "I can't be excited in my current life, to put it mildly, sometimes I really want someone to make me crazy, like when I was in school, I like a female classmate and define her as love." ”

Xiaocheng then said: "Big brother, let's be realistic, okay? Real life is not like you write novels, everything can be written according to the line you set, in my understanding, love is the product of hormones, for us hormones have long been gone, there is a little psychological and physiological needs left, the psychology is to quickly find a wife and have a baby, physiological is not to buy a ticket but can take off at any time, the most important thing is to be able to land as you want. ”

Yu Xiaoshan said: "You don't understand what I want, just like I don't understand what you pursue, life is like this, the more I think about it, the more transparent I see, the more tangled I become, I have been fighting against myself all these years, what reality and ideals, what reality and dreams, in the end, I am tossing blindly with myself." ”

Over the years, the women around Yu Xiaoshan have been like flowing water, whether it was the misty years in City C, or the wandering career in those years abroad, not to mention the muddy years in Beijing, most of the women he had experienced were impossible for him to feel, and the details made him unable to remember.

And these can't be thought, as soon as you think about it, all your thoughts will get into a strange circle that you can't escape, and those past pasts are both real and dreamy mixed together, so that he can't figure it out no matter what.

The women who have experienced it, can't say that he has loved every single one, but at least they have all been in love with each other. Too many of the unforgettable thoughts at the time are just a piece of life after drifting by in the wind.

So much so that at this time, he was still looking forward to the appearance of a certain person, but he was also doubting whether this person would appear, this was related to himself, his heart had already aged after so many years of washing and tempering by so many people, and he would not be easily moved.

If he can really meet a woman who can make him move again and get carried away again, it must be the most cherished thing for him in this life, which is what he has been looking forward to.

When he got home that night, he sat alone in front of the computer and thought about it for a long time, and posted a text on Weibo: "I've been looking forward to a certain moment, a chance moment." In this life, you appear in front of me. Just one glance. Drizzle. The filth is cleared. I'm going crazy about you. ”

After writing this paragraph, he was just about to turn off the computer, when there was a private message on Weibo to remind him, and he clicked on it.

It was a private message from a person named Meng Chuan'er. "Yu Xiaoshan, hello, my name is Meng Chuan'er. Two years ago, I accidentally saw the book "A Touch of Sadness" written by you in the library, and after reading a book, I was shocked by the years and the past. At that time, I found your blog and wrote a long private message to send to you, but I later deleted it myself and did not send it because I felt that I lacked a basis for dialogue with you at that time. Later, I also wrote a book called "The Smell of Smoke" and just published, and the market response is quite good, especially I want to compare it with your faint sadness. Also, a lot of things don't want to say here, find time to make a date at the bar!"

Yu Xiaoshan thought about it, clicked on the reply, and typed a text. "There is no comparison in the text, and there is no similarity in the story, maybe the feeling of the world in our hearts is exactly at one point, so those messy stories can move you. Send me a copy of your book and I'll read it when I have time. ”
