Return To 1998

Near noon.

Tianyun City.

In front of the sixth Ximendao Internet Cafe in Tianyun City under renovation, Wei Chunlan, wearing a blue dress and white sneakers, hesitated, bit her lip, and came here blushing.

In the Internet cafe being renovated, two woodworkers are using a chainsaw to cut a piece of wood for decoration. The sound of the chainsaw cutting the wood is very harsh, and the flying wood chips are flying around. The ground and the air are flying everywhere. Sawdust.

On the ground, sawdust has fallen into a thick layer.

Wei Chunlan, who was hesitant, just stepped into the door when she felt the sole of her shoe sink slightly. Looking down, she saw that the sawdust on the ground was too thick.

There were flying sawdust on her head, face, and body. She frowned, took a step back subconsciously, and called out to the master who was busy cutting boards, Hey, master!

The harsh chainsaw sound continued.

The two master carpenters were still busy as they were.

No way, her voice was too low, completely drowned out by the harsh sound of the chainsaw.

Wei Chunlan blushed and shouted again, her voice slightly higher.

Unfortunately, still small, still drowned out by the sound of the chainsaw.

No way, she opened her mouth and shouted again.

After shouting a few times, a master noticed her. The master wore a white gauze mask and noticed Wei Chunlan at the door. He only shouted, What did you say? What are you doing?

Wei Chunlan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked loudly, Hey, Master! Master! I'll ask you guys, do you know Xu Tongdao??

She's been as loud as she can.

But the sound of the chainsaw is relentless.

It is impossible for the two carpenters to put down their busy work just because a big girl suddenly came to the door.

They are not the tricks in mindless novels or idol dramas. As soon as they see a beautiful girl, they are stunned, or they immediately turn into licking dogs or something.

That's all bullshit!

The two master carpenters are middle-aged men in their forties.

They are long past the age of hormonal domination, and for men of their age,

A lot of things have been seen through.

For example: women, turn off the lights are the same.

For example: It is important to make money for nothing. After all, there are old people and young people.

Pretty big girl?

Maybe when you are idle, or after drinking, you are interested in teasing, when you are working? At work, pretty girls show up and it just annoys them.

Just like swordsmen in martial arts novels, they would think that women only affect the speed at which they draw their swords.

Anyway, Wei Chunlan's question was only changed—Ah? What did you say?

Wei Chunlan frowned and asked again aloud.

Another sentence: Ah? I can't hear!

As for whether they will turn off the chainsaw because of this, come over and ask her what she said just now.

It was just overthinking.

Wei Chunlan frowned when she saw the two master carpenters, looking impatient.

I also heard another carpenter say to the master who just ignored her: Leave her alone! Are you fucking her?

Very vulgar.

Wei Chunlan's face turned even redder.

But this is the reality. The master carpenter's cultural level is not high. It is a habit to make a few swear words in life and work.

Standing at the door, biting her lip again, she suddenly ran in quickly, letting the flying sawdust fall on her head and body.

Quickly ran to the two carpentry masters and repeated the question aloud, Hey, two masters! Let me ask if you know Xu Tongdao?

Who?

The teacher who had spoken to before asked loudly.

Xu Tongdao!! Do you know Xu Tongdao?

Wei Chunlan repeated loudly.

pity……

Master carpenter: I don't know! I don't know! I don't know which one you're talking about...

They are from Water Bird City and from Meijia Decoration Company, but the current Meijia Decoration Company does not keep too many workers of various woodworkers, masons, lacquers and so on for a long time.

The workers who do all kinds of decoration work are basically hired from outside since Tongdao Xu took charge of Meijia Decoration.

Anyway, there are so many workers who come to the city to find work, so there is no need to keep a group of them for a long time.

Therefore, Wei Chunlan was unlucky, and the external carpenter did not know Xu Tongdao's name.

In his usual work, he did not have the opportunity to deal with Xu Tongdao.

When Tongdao Xu, Tang Qing and Xi Dongyang came to inspect here yesterday, although Ge Lianghua had introduced them to them, he only said Mr. Xu.

It was impossible to tell them the names of the two master carpenters, Xu Tongdao.

...

When Wei Chunlan came out of the renovation site, a thin layer of sawdust and fly ash had fallen on her head and body.

She was a little dejected.

The expression on his face was clearly disappointed.

She thought about it in the middle of the night last night before she thought of a way to reconnect with Xu Tongdao—come here to ask.

Because she remembered that when she and Xu Tongdao bumped into each other yesterday, Xu Tongdao seemed to want to enter this Internet cafe that was being renovated.

And, after they came back from the clinic, those who were with Xu Tongdao finally said goodbye to Xu Tongdao at the entrance of the Internet cafe.

Therefore, she excitedly thought that when she came here at noon today, she should be able to find out the contact information of Xu Tongdao.

Even, if you are lucky, maybe Xu Tongdao was here when she came.

And eggs.

The reality was completely different from what she expected.

The two carpenters here have never heard of Xu Tongdao.

None of the people Xu Tongdao knew that she met here yesterday were not here today.

After exiting the renovated Internet cafe, Wei Chunlan stood on the sidewalk, sighed softly, and looked back in disappointment to look inside the renovated Internet cafe...

His shoulders slumped slightly, and he sighed again.

Disappointed, he turned and left.

...

And this moment.

In a restaurant called Grandma Zhuang in Tianyun City.

In a box on the second floor, Xu Tongdao, Ge Lianghua, Tang Qing, and Xi Dongyang were eating and drinking with Jiang Yiming and Fan Bixing.

Jiang Yiming's industrial and commercial uniform has not been taken off, and he is welcoming everyone to drink and eat.

Of course, he was mainly greeting Xu Tongdao.

Jiang Yiming's gratitude to Xu Tongdao can be seen from his words and expressions.

After all, as far as he is concerned, Tongdao Xu saved his own sister's life last year.

He later gave his sister and brother-in-law an easy job as a cashier.

This love, he has to take it.

Between eating and drinking, he also cared a few words about Xu Tongdao's business.

I asked Xu Tongdao's plan to expand his business in Tianyun City, and asked whether Xu Tongdao planned to continue to expand his business in Tianyun City? And so on.

Xu Tongdao didn't hide it, and roughly talked about his next plan, saying that he planned to continue to invest in the Internet cafe branch in Tianyun City. After that, he might come here to invest in hot pot restaurants, decoration companies, etc.

Jiang Yiming said logically that if you need help in the future, just look for him, don't be polite.

Tongdao Xu smiled and thanked him, saying that he would definitely not be polite.

A meal, the host and guests enjoyed themselves.
