Return To 1998

Time enters January.

According to the Gregorian calendar, it is already 2003.

This year's New Year will come earlier, on January 31, which is New Year's Eve.

This January, Tan Ya has been counting out-of-school children and teenagers in Zhulin Township. Occasionally, she will also contact the township government to prepare for the New Year's job fair after the new year.

At the same time, Xu Tongdao was not idle.

At the end of the year, his group president is also much busier than usual.

It is not only necessary to participate in the year-end summary meeting of each branch, but also to determine the year-end incentive plan for each person under each branch.

Also prepare to attend the year-end party of each branch before the end of the year.

and many more.

Even with Tan Shi and Tang Qing assisting him, he didn't have much time to rest.

Every three or five days, I have to take time to go to Tianyun City to see the operation of Ximen Foods Co., Ltd. and the construction next to the Sancha River Bridge.

Only when you are busy can you find some time to date Wei Chunlan, or to meet Zeng Xueyi and Xia Yun.

Even Ge Xiaoyu occasionally sends him a few text messages to show his presence.

Like this night.

After attending the year-end staff dinner for Ximen Yipin Hotpot, Tongdao Xu tricked Dongyang and Tang Qing into the room to rest.

In a drowsy state, I slept until the middle of the night, and in a daze, I suddenly heard the phone ring.

He just wanted to go to the toilet, so he woke up.

Reached out and touched the side, and felt the light switch in the room. With a click, the chandelier turned on.

This is his newly bought house in Waterbird City.

Three rooms and one hall, more than 120 square meters.

The biggest advantage of buying a second-hand house is that you can live in it without decoration.

Currently, he and Xi Dongyang both live here.

I opened my eyes, got up with a tired body, and suddenly remembered that the phone seemed to rang just now,

He reached for the phone on the bedside table.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, raised his eyelids, and turned on the phone screen.

The text message was sent by Ge Xiaoyu.

- Xiaodao, when are you coming back from vacation? By the way, do you have vacation?

Xu Tongdao, who was still a little dizzy, replied a few words, put down the phone, got up and walked to the bathroom.

——“There should be a few days off during the Chinese New Year.”

When he came back from the bathroom, he picked up his mobile phone and saw that Ge Xiaoyu's second text message had already been sent.

- Then when will you come back and tell me, when the time comes, I'll invite you to dinner, let's get together?

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, showing little interest.

Reply casually: Let's talk about it when the time comes!

After replying, he put it on the bedside table. I don't know who poured him a cup of tea. The tea was cold, and he didn't care.

After drinking, the mouth is dry.

Just after putting down the teacup, Ge Xiaoyu's text message came again.

- Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back.

Tongdao Xu smiled, threw the phone on the bedside, leaned against the bedside, took the TV remote control, turned on the TV, and passed the time.

Looking at the TV, his mind was still thinking about issues related to Ge Xiaoyu.

For the past half a month, Ge Xiaoyu has been sending him text messages every three to five, asking for warmth, which has gone beyond the boundaries of pure friendship.

He's not sure if she really likes him a little bit, or if she wants to make it real, be his girlfriend, and then don't have to pay his medical bills...

At this time, he was thinking about this problem again.

And this is destined to be a problem that he can't think about the truth by himself.

...

The twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month.

Night.

Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant 2, a black Audi stopped in the parking space outside the store.

The door opened, and Xu Tongdao, Xu Changsheng, and Xi Dongyang got out of the car.

Tongdao Xu greeted Xu Changsheng, Let's go! This is it, by the way, have you been here before?

Xu Changsheng turned his face and looked around, shook his head with a smile, No, I'm usually in the Internet cafes and dormitories at 2:00 and 1st line, and rarely go out to play, I've never been to this street, by the way, Lin Zi works here. ?

Asking, Xu Changsheng raised his eyes to look at the huge sign on the second floor.

The Lin Zi he said was naturally Xu Tonglin, the brother of Xu Tongdao.

Well, yes! Haven't you been in touch with each other? He didn't ask you to come over for a hot pot or something?

As Xu Tongdao asked, he walked towards the front of the first floor.

Ximen Yipin Hotpot No. 2, the main body is on the second floor, but it rented a facade on the first floor as a bar to receive customers, as well as elevators and toilets that lead directly to the second floor.

Xu Changsheng was very curious about this place, and he looked around, looking around all the time.

Hearing this, he laughed at himself, No, Lin Zi is still blaming me for not going out with you at first, and usually doesn't want to contact me at all.

Xu Tongdao: ...

This sentence, Xu Tongdao is a little difficult to accept.

After all, he could understand and forgive the original Xu Changsheng.

But Xu Tonglin didn't understand or forgive, and he couldn't force it either.

He could only say haha, Oh, it's alright, let's call Lin Zi and have a drink together. Just remember to toast him a few more glasses.

Xu Changsheng nodded, Well, I will.

The cashier at the bar on the first floor had seen Tongdao Xu, and when he saw Tongdao lead someone into the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to receive them, and gallantly took the three of them into the elevator.

Before the elevator door was closed, Tongdao Xu saw her pick up the walkie-talkie in her hand and notified the waiter upstairs that Mr. Xu was here.

Today, he deliberately took time out to gather with Xu Changsheng and Xu Tonglin.

After all, it's the end of the year, and the two of them are working in his company again, so it doesn't matter if they don't have time to have dinner together. At the end of the year, they always have to meet and have a drink together.

After going upstairs, Xu Tongdao and the others just sat down at the corner by the window under the arrangement of the lobby manager, when Xu Tonglin hurried over.

The boy was wearing a white chef's uniform and a white paper hat on his head.

The last time Tongdao Xu saw him, he gained weight again.

A fat face looked oily and smooth.

Seeing Tongdao Xu and Dongyang Xi, he raised his hand to say hello with a smile on his face: Hey, Xiaodao, Brother Xi, long time no see! I heard that your main battlefield has been moved to the provincial capital? How? Are you busy recently? Do you have time to come and have a drink with me? Haha...

While speaking, he pulled out a chair, sat down, glanced at Xu Changsheng beside him, but just nodded, even if it was a greeting.

Xu Tongdao saw this scene in his eyes, and knew that when he was downstairs, Xu Changsheng was right, and Xu Tonglin really didn't want to see him Xu Changsheng.

Why are you getting fat again? If you are so fat, will you be able to find a girlfriend in the future? Huh?

Tongdao Xu looked at the chubby Xu Tonglin amusingly, joking.

Unexpectedly...

Xu Tonglin smiled, raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and said Nunu to a slender young waitress not far away, Xiaodao, don't look at people through the cracks in the door, you'll look down on people! Here! That girl! Do you see it? Mine! Hmmm.
