I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 201 Breaking the game 7
After a while, Cao Xue and I drank half a bottle of foreign wine. The alcohol content was too high. When I didn’t know how much he could drink, I was afraid that he would faint and cause trouble, so I took the platter filled with melon seeds and peanuts. Er pushed in front of him, motioning him to slow down first.

But he didn't understand at all, he poured another glass and drank it down... It seems that the resentment in his heart has reached a critical point between what he can bear and what he can't bear.

I felt that the opportunity came, so I said to him in a sincere tone: "Dude, sometimes what is lacking in life is not ability, but opportunity... Your uncle put you by his side like this, doing the driver's job , has actually determined the upper limit of your life... He may have his own ideas, but you have to be aware... From my side, there is now a chance for you to earn extra money, it depends on whether you are interested gone."

"How to earn?"

I lit a cigarette, and said in a casual tone as much as possible: "I have transformed your uncle's shops in Jiulongju into inns that can be used for temporary entertainment... To tell you the truth, I want to earn money." The most important thing is the money from the Chinese New Year season... This is a business that can make a profit without losing money, but with your uncle making such a fuss, this matter is going to be a mess... I think, since your uncle can let you do it Locking this matter proves that you have the right to speak in front of him; therefore, I will discuss this matter with you... You find a way to help me settle this matter, and I will give you [-]% of the profit... Not much, about [-] to [-] yuan, which is enough for you to take a girl you like to travel around the city."

Cao Xue looked at me...

I poured a glass of wine for him and myself, and signaled him to take another... Cao Xue raised the glass mechanically, and drank the wine with me.

I took advantage of the situation and said, "To be honest... your uncle's paper mill was run by the Environmental Protection Bureau, and anyone who puts it in trouble, so it's understandable for him to vent his anger on me... But think about it, if I can put Who is the real beneficiary of Jiulongju's business?... Isn't it your uncle Cao Jinbo!...He has changed the locks of all the shops in Jiulongju because of his anger. What do you think? Can it really threaten the people of the Environmental Protection Agency?..."

After a short pause, I said again: "It's not that I look down on myself, I really don't have this influence at the moment... So, the current situation is a lose-lose... But if you can deal with it, the result of this matter will be different." It's the same... First of all, I can take advantage of the Chinese New Year season to do some good business; second, you can also earn extra money... Finally, if I succeed in the business here, the value of these shops will also increase ...If it doubles, it will be a profit of tens of millions. With Dali's current real estate market, as long as Jiulongju becomes popular, even doubling it may be a small amount!...Really, this person once Annoyed, it is easy to make wrong decisions... At this time, if you can make a correct decision for your uncle, and the shops here in Jiulongju will appreciate in value in the future, he will thank you."

While holding the bullet cup, Cao Xue was digesting what I said.

I strike while the iron is hot: "Dude, try it... This is also a chance to prove your ability, unless you are willing to drive your uncle for a lifetime."

Cao Xue finally opened his mouth: "It sounds good, it is a win-win opportunity for all three parties."

"That's for sure, it's up to you to nod now... As long as you bring me the key, I'll give you [-] sincerity money immediately; the rest of the money, I'll pay you in one lump sum after finishing the New Year's business ..." After a short pause, I said fiercely again: "If you feel that you have no right to speak in front of your uncle... then you can pretend that I didn't mention this matter, and we still get along as friends... On my side If there are any good cigarettes or alcohol, you will not be missing."

"If you want to say that, I can't do it if I don't do it... I'm not afraid to tell you something crazy, as long as it's something I really want to do, my uncle can't handle it... Do you know why? ?...Because he owes me this!"

After Cao Xue finished speaking, he took out a bunch of keys from his bag, unlocked one of them, threw it in front of me, and said, "This is the key of shop No. 17, which is the sincerity money I gave you first... Within days, I will send you a letter."

"to make……"

While I answered him, I also took the keys into my pocket. Although it was only one of them, it also proved that this was a good start... I found the right person by looking for Cao Xue.

……

After finishing a bottle of foreign wine, Cao Xue took the two cigarettes I gave him and left the bar... But after he left, I became depressed after a short period of joy. I saw in the wine glass My own reflection, however, felt a little changed.

What I saw was me after I learned to calculate... I was forced, but I also wanted to ask myself, is there really no such a smooth road in this world, let ordinary people like us walk? ?
At least, I who have lived for more than 20 years have not discovered it yet.

Perhaps, I have become the way I don't like the most, but I have to live like this...and the big step I took this night is also my first step in Dali in a real sense.

I called the waiter, and then ordered two more bottles of "Fantasy" beer. Compared with foreign wine, I still prefer to drink this... No matter what my life is like now, it seems that I will never forget that I brought a woman with me that day Unfulfilled dreams, for the "wind, flowers, snow and moon" here...

I heard that there are a group of men riding broken motorcycles and women who don’t care about material things, swimming in Erhai Lake, under Cangshan Mountain, and in the ancient city... I believe this is not a dream, but it is even more dreamy than a dream!

……

While I was drinking a bottle of beer, Tetsuo happened to pass by the door of the bar.I was sitting near the window, so when I spotted him, he also spotted me...

I pushed open the wooden window, smiled and said to him: "It's a coincidence, come in for a drink or two?"

"Taozi works at the bar opposite, I'll deliver her meals."

When Tetsuo said this, he kept standing outside.After a short pause, he asked me again: "How are things going with you?"

"I'm trying to figure out a way...it's a bit of a clue."

Tie Nan replied: "At the beginning, I asked you to go with me to build a sea view inn, but you didn't listen...you insisted on building such a temporary inn in Jiulongju, a place where no shit...let you trust me once, Is it really that difficult?"

Tetsuo's words made me a little confused about how to deal with it, and I didn't realize until now that even though Tao Zi reconciled between the two of us, because of the Sea View Inn incident, there was already an indelible gap between him and me ...But even so, I don't want to take his words as an insult to me.

I lit a cigarette, finally smiled, and said to him, "I heard from Taozi that your situation is not bad."

"All the houses during the Chinese New Year have been booked... This season, at least 15 yuan will be earned."

"That's pretty good... However, you should also pay attention, after all, the Seaview Inn is still a highly sensitive area..."

"No matter how sensitive you are, it's better than you can't get the key now."

I looked at Tie Nan in astonishment...

He continued: "Mi Gao, you are too self-righteous and unwilling to trust others... I know that Taozi has already lent you a lot of money for this matter... You were friends before, she borrowed some money Here it is, and I have no objection... But, I don't want to have a next time, because it is my principle to take responsibility for the mistakes I make."

I almost couldn't hold the cigarette in my hand, and then felt short of breath... Is the person in front of me really the same as the owner of Fengrenyuan who was riding a motorcycle to pick me up in the ancient city?
Does he know?Before Taozi and I borrowed money, I also gave Taozi [-]...

Taozi probably wouldn't tell him, because she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem.

I let out a heavy breath, then nodded and replied, "I understand... From now on, I won't drag you and Taozi to bear my troubles."

Tetsuo gave me a cold look, and then walked to the other side of the street with the lunch box.

……

My heart is indescribably heavy, I seem to have lost another friend, and it is also the first friend I get along with after coming to Dali... But, I don't know why we have become like this.

Is it really a heavy life, indifferent to the friendship between people?
However, I still cherish this hard-won brotherhood, and I want to go back to the days when we opened an inn in Longkan together.

Looking at the streets with people coming and going in a daze, I extinguished the cigarette in my hand and lit another one.
