"Yu Cheng, you did a good job this time. You have to be extra careful this time since you were cheated last time." Yu Cheng's friend said at the dinner table.
"Alas, it was my first time last time. I was inexperienced, but every failure is a learning experience. I've figured out some tricks now. But everyone fails a few times. It doesn't matter. As long as I'm still alive, I'll always get back on my feet."
Yu Cheng no longer had any emotions. He could talk about how Wang Haifeng had cheated him so calmly, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Yu Cheng, let's drink."
After Wang Haifeng took advantage of Yu Cheng's trust and scammed him out of his money, Yu Cheng fell into depression for a few days. He felt like every day was a year and lived a very painful life.
Yu Cheng lay on the bed without washing his face, becoming very sloppy. He didn't want to do anything, but he had to do nothing. Even if he used the barbecue restaurant to pay off his debt, he still had to eat. Now he didn't even have money to recharge his phone bill, and his phone was shut down due to unpaid bills.
That day, Li Miaomiao came over and Yu Cheng was at home, feeling depressed. Li Miaomiao slapped him in the face.
"Look at what you've become now. Where's your effort? Where's your strength? You don't even have the strength to live anymore."
Yu Cheng remained silent as Li Miaomiao scolded him.
"I asked you to tell your parents but you didn't. You said you could handle it yourself. Is that how you handled it? Quickly pack your things and go home."
"No!" Yu Cheng held Li Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, don't tell them, I will work hard now."
After lying in bed for a few days, Yu Cheng did not remain depressed. Later, he worked three jobs every day like a machine, working until late at night, delivering takeout, serving coffee, and cleaning. He did everything just to save money.
During the Spring Festival of 2024, everyone was enjoying family happiness. Yu Cheng worked even harder for double or even triple his salary. As the cold wave swept in, he also started coughing.
"Yu Cheng, do you have time to have dinner with me?" Uncle Zhao sent a message.
If it were someone else, Yu Cheng would have refused directly, but it was difficult for him to refuse Uncle Zhao, so he agreed.
Instead of going to a big restaurant, the two of them sat in a small restaurant. Uncle Zhao smiled and looked very kind.
"Yu Cheng, I know about you. You work very hard and are very strong, but you also need to take care of your health. Listen to your cough."
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I will."
"You can't fool me, kid. You're just talking nonsense. You're too proud to tell your parents? You're afraid of being laughed at by others, right?"
Uncle Zhao spoke out all of Yu Cheng's thoughts. He felt so ashamed that his face turned red.
"Yu Cheng, face is important, but substance is more important. If substance is gone, what's the point of face?
You are so tired now, why not tell your parents about it."
"Uncle Zhao, I can't tell them. I can't let them worry about me anymore."
"You're here again. If Miaomiao hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't intended to tell anyone in the first place."
Yu Cheng didn't know what to say. Uncle Zhao guessed what he was thinking.
"Yu Cheng, making mistakes is not scary. What's scary is not daring to face your mistakes. You are strong, but you are not brave enough.
Mr. Lu Xun once said, "A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life." What about you? Are you a true warrior? If you can't even face such a small problem, how can you open a shop again?
I heard that you want to open a boxing gym. In your current condition, will you still be able to box in the future?
Yu Cheng, tell your parents, your family, and them that you have support behind you and that you are not fighting alone.
A few short words made Yu Cheng think a lot. Yes, if he didn't tell anyone, how long could he keep it a secret? Besides, he was under too much pressure.
So Yu Cheng plucked up his courage, went home, and told his parents everything about how he was cheated when he opened a barbecue restaurant.
He had originally planned to be severely criticized by his parents, but he didn't expect that their first reaction was not to blame him, but to feel sorry for him.
Yu Cheng thought of what Li Miaomiao had said to him: "Why do you want to leave your family? I envy your family. No matter what you do, your parents always stand by you. No matter what I do, my parents always blame me."
Moved by everyone, Yu Cheng regained his confidence. He mustered up his courage again, and the torture of the disease was not so severe. He went to work and went home every day. Finally, in the spring of 2024, he opened another barbecue restaurant with the money he saved and the support of his parents.
In April, his business was doing well. With the experience from last time, he understood how to run a business.
Yu Cheng said: "I really don't have the courage or guts. I used to rely too much on Wang Haifeng because he could speak but I couldn't.
I left all the talking to him and just worked hard myself, like an old ox. I found out that I was wrong. I can also talk, communicate, and retain customers. "
Yes, Yu Cheng's communication skills are not weak either. When Han Yuzheng and Yu Cheng were having dinner together, he found that Yu Cheng looked much better, and Han Yuzheng also walked out of Chen Ailin's shadow.
"Yu Cheng, now that you're making money, what else do you plan to do?" Han Yuzheng asked.
"I don't plan to do anything else. It's enough for me to run my shop well. When I save enough money in the future, I will make the shop bigger and stronger. Then I can hire a few more employees and set up a stall. It's not that difficult once I learn the ropes."
"Yu Cheng, are you still running a boxing gym?"
"Of course we have to open the gym, but don't be too anxious now. Just go to work. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you act too hastily, you will regret it."
Now everyone says that Yu Cheng's mentality has become more stable. He has become much calmer and is no longer the impulsive person he used to be.
In the past two days, Yu Cheng learned that Li Miaomiao had taken a group of people to travel to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and asked him if he wanted to go. He smiled and said, "I'll take care of my barbecue restaurant first. As for the travel, you can just take care of it for me."
"Yu Cheng, you have really grown up a lot, hahaha." Uncle Zhao had dinner with Yu Cheng again and praised him with satisfaction.
"Uncle Zhao, you're too kind. I..."
"Don't say that. Look at you from childhood to adulthood. Everyone has been worried about you. Now, you make us all feel at ease."
"Really?" Yu Cheng blinked and looked at Uncle Zhao. At this moment, he looked like a primary school student. "I have caused too much worry for others. I feel guilty."
"You don't have to feel guilty. You've always had ideals. I tell you, you're a good man, and good men will eventually shine."
"I, I know, I also know what I should do, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely shine brightly."
"Okay, I'll wait." Uncle Zhao, with white hair and a weathered face, looked at Yu Cheng with a smile. Yu Cheng was also smiling. He was as happy as a primary school student looking forward to the future.
