Return To 1998

That afternoon, Tongdao Xu returned to Water Bird City.

The Ximen Yipin hot pot restaurant in Tianyun City is very popular today. The restaurant is full during peak hours. According to his observation, the service quality in the restaurant is also good. The store tastes the same.

So, he decided to go back to the house, back to Water Bird City.

As for this hotpot branch in Tianyun City?

Have to observe for two or three months.

After two or three months, how much popularity, word-of-mouth, and profit will be left to truly judge whether this branch has been successfully opened.

In the following days, Xu Tongdao went to the library of Shuizhao Normal University to read books every day.

Through Dai Yang's relationship, he obtained a library card for the Naval University Library.

The courses in high school, what he wants to learn and are interested in, have been almost the same in the past few years.

Some courses that he is not interested in, just roughly flipped through.

Such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, English and so on.

For one thing, he didn't feel he needed such expertise in the future.

Second...these courses are too difficult to study on their own, and he doesn't have that much time to study them.

He is most interested in the four subjects of Chinese, History, Politics and Geography.

Language he learned the most.

History comes next.

Geography again.

Politics... He mainly studied materialist dialectics.

He does not need to take the college entrance examination, nor does he need to take any diplomas, so he only learns the knowledge that he is interested in and thinks useful to him.

He is a pragmatist, and he is reluctant to take the time to learn knowledge that does not feel useful to him.

School education these days still emphasizes that every student must develop in an all-round way and be proficient in everything.

He did not agree with this.

He doesn't believe how many people can actually be proficient at everything.

Just like the martial arts novels he had read before...

A master in martial arts novels,

Generally, they only specialize in one direction, either swordsmanship, or swordsmanship, or palm, grappling, stick, and spear.

There are only a handful of masters who can truly master everything...

In the library of Shanghai Normal University, there are a lot of books, covering everything.

like an ocean of knowledge.

After only being here for a few days, Tongdao Xu fell in love with it.

Here are various books that interest him.

For example, the history of various dynasties, such as business management books, such as various psychological works, and so on.

He still adheres to the previous principle: only pick and read books that are useful and interesting to him.

He seems to have completely let go of the company.

Actually not.

It's just that his cousin Tan Shi will come to him at a time every day, and report to him some things about the company, and some documents that need his signature will also be brought to him.

He spends about an hour a day on company affairs.

He has a lot of time to read books.

During this period, Dong Feifei, who had already found a home-school intern in Water Bird City, came to him once. She came to the library to find him, and he told him not to come to the library to find him.

At that time, Dong Feifei's face was a little ugly.

But he soon regained his smile and remained affectionate to him.

But what she didn't know was that the more she behaved like this, the more Xu Tongdao wanted to break up with her.

To put it bluntly, he has no interest in her anymore.

No matter how good-looking a woman looks, after looking at it for a long time, she will also get aesthetic fatigue. The advantage of her thin waist is that after a long time, he will gradually feel nothing.

From the beginning, he never liked her character.

She doesn't really like him either, which Xu Tongdao has always been aware of.

The 2,000 yuan given to her every month can very well illustrate the essence of their relationship.

Before, when he didn't date Wei Chunlan, because he didn't have a real girlfriend, he spent 2,000 yuan a month to raise Dong Feifei, and he didn't care.

But recently...

The fixed call time or texting time with Wei Chunlan every night has taken up a lot of his time and energy, and occasionally he has to deal with Dong Feifei's phone calls. He is really getting impatient, and he feels guilty about Wei Chunlan. increasing day by day.

So, two weeks after he returned to Water Bird City, he asked Dong Feifei to a cafe.

Asked for a booth on the second floor, in the corner.

It was evening, and the sun was about to go down outside.

Tongdao Xu held a book borrowed from the library in his hand and watched quietly, taking a sip of the coffee in front of him from time to time.

Finally, when night was about to fall, footsteps approached quickly.

At the same time, Dong Feifei's voice came from behind, Xiaodao, I'm sorry, when I got off work, I was delayed for a while when I got off work. Did you wait a long time? Hehe.

With a fragrant wind, she wiped the sweat on her forehead with a tissue, and sat down opposite him with a smile on her face.

Tongdao Xu looked up at her, smiled lightly, and asked, What would you like to drink?

Just then, a waiter trotted over and asked her what she wanted.

Dong Feifei casually asked for a cup of coffee, sent the waiter away, and couldn't wait to ask with a smile: By the way, Xiaodao, you said you have something to do with me today, what's the matter? Hurry up and tell me! I have never received you. Since that call, I've been curious.

Tongdao Xu put down the book in his hand, took a sip of coffee, and shook his head slightly, You better take a rest first, and I'll talk about it later after drinking some coffee!

He didn't want to spoil her mood for coffee.

but……

Don't! Hurry up and say it! Don't piss me off, I beg you? Hurry up and say it!

She got up and squeezed to Xu Tongdao's side, shaking his arms and asking coquettishly.

Tongdao Xu frowned slightly, sighed secretly, raised his chin slightly, and gestured to the seat opposite, It's so hot, you better sit over there! Don't worry, I'll tell you when you're rested.

This……

Seeing him frown, Dong Feifei was a little discouraged, then resumed her smile, got up and sat back opposite, Okay, okay, I'll sit over! I'll sit over there, okay? Well, I'm already resting, you can talk!

She was still coquettishly asking.

Tongdao Xu was silent for a few seconds, Wait until your coffee comes.

...

A few minutes later, the coffee Dong Feifei had just ordered arrived.

While picking up the spoon and stirring the coffee in the cup, Dong Feifei asked with a smile, Can we talk now? Can you please hurry up? I'm dying of anxiety.

Tongdao Xu looked at her calmly, nodded slightly, then opened the purse beside him, took out a thick envelope from it, and placed it in front of her.

Dong Feifei saw it, her eyes lit up, she reached for it, but she asked with a smile on her face, What? Is it such a thick love letter? For me?

Tongdao Xu watched her performance calmly.

Before he gave her money every month, he always wrapped it in such an envelope. Would she mistakenly think that the thick envelope in front of her was a love letter?

She still loves money so much.

There is 20,000 yuan in it. Thank you for taking care of me in the past two years. This is my compensation for you! You are also starting an internship now, and you will graduate from college next year. You are not young. After thinking about it in the future, I don't want to continue to delay you, let's be ordinary friends! I wish you can find someone who truly loves you in the future, and wish you happiness!

Dong Feifei was stunned.

He stared blankly at Xu Tongdao.
