Cao Rui smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you go to college?"
I seemed to be asking about someone's sad story.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything else."
"It's okay! Oh! My dad fell down at a construction site and couldn't afford to send me to school. It's not bad at all, the university I got into isn't a prestigious one.
It would be a shame if I spent so much money and still couldn’t find a good job!
How are you? I remember you were admitted to Kyoto University, so why are you here... Are you here to work part-time?
"Yeah! Make some money during the winter break."
Even though he had laughed at me for being poor in school, I didn't want to tell him that I was already a boss and had made a lot of money.
When I have food and cannot share it with others, I can make sure not to smack my lips. This is my understanding of kindness.
Cao Rui's smile now is very sincere, with a feeling of sympathy:
"Oh right! There are quite a few people from my school who came here with me. We all live in the old town and drink and chat together every night. Do you want to come too?"
"Old Town?"
When I asked this question, we were really getting closer.
The Xia family and I live in the west of the old city, and they live in the north.
It's more complicated there, as migrant workers from all over the country live there.
"Okay! I'll definitely go when I have time."
After that we exchanged contact information, and I found that his phone was worn out, but it was still wrapped in a small cloth bag.
I stopped at the seventh floor and Cao Rui went up to the tenth floor.
I was shocked.
This floor has ten small offices and four large ones, along with an open work area, which is probably enough for a large company.
The tables and chairs are all new, just need to be cleaned a little and put in office supplies.
The next thing is to solve the housing problem. I can't let them all rent a house, right? At least the management can't rent a house.
But it’s too late today, and I have to go back to pick up Xiao Qingwan to have dinner with the old lady.
…
Today, both the eldest and second oldest brothers came back for dinner, but the meal wasn't served yet. The two brothers just stared at each other like two fighting cocks without saying a word.
It’s just that the eldest brother is angry and the second brother is proud.
"Hey! Isn't this the fake third brother? How are you? Are you having a good day today?"
I smiled slightly and pulled a chair to sit across from them. "Not bad! I got the money I was owed, and I saved myself from going to Xia's every day."
At this time, Xia Laoda said, "Second Brother! You can do whatever you want to me, but I hope you won't make things difficult for Zheng Yang. If anything happens to him, Mom can't stand it."
"Tsk! Big brother! Stop pretending to be a good guy here. He didn't provoke you, otherwise, you would be more ruthless than me.
Zheng Yang! Don’t think that just because the old lady can’t leave you, you can ignore me. It’s easy for me to destroy you. "
"Really? Then can I take it that you are declaring war on me?"
"Declare war? Do you have the qualifications? You are not even an ant in front of me."
Does he think I'm just an ordinary person with no power or influence?
Xia Laoer laughed, and I laughed too. Barking dogs don't bite. If you want to fight with them, you have to be more sinister than them.
Xiao Qingwan helped bring the food, and the old lady told Xia Laoer to take good care of her.
Anyway, in front of the old lady, we all pretended to be like brothers.
After dinner, I took Xiao Qingwan back home.
As we walked, I asked Xiao Qingwan to tell me about Xia Laoer.
Xiao Qingwan's first words were that the second brother Xia was more sinister and cruel than the first brother Xia.
The board of directors originally put him in charge of overseas business because no one could get along with him and no director liked him.
"Zheng Yang! You must not piss him off, otherwise it will be really dangerous."
"I'm in danger too! Go back and rest first, I need to do something."
Since he can ruin my reputation, I can ruin his.
"Zheng Yang!" Xiao Qingwan hugged my arm:
"You can't take any chances! Everything that happened at school is because of me. At worst, I can just issue a statement saying that I'm attracted to you and save your reputation."
Xiao Qingwan thought too simply. As long as I lived with her, I would still be the third party, relying on my few bucks to steal other people's girlfriends.
"Listen to me and go back to rest. Leave these matters to me alone."
Xiao Qingwan hesitated for a moment, but she knew that she couldn't persuade me, so she could only go back obediently.
I asked her to lock the door and I would call her when I got back.
…
Wu Liang is not a formal teacher, so of course Shenda University cannot give him a room.
In Shanghai, there are two places where you can find cheap accommodation. The first is rental houses in the old city.
The room is only about ten square meters, and there is not enough space for a bed, not even a table.
Then there are the basements in old communities. If you want a shoebox-sized window, you’ll have to pay an extra two hundred yuan per month.
But fortunately it is big enough, more than 20 square meters, and in addition to tables and chairs, it can also accommodate a fabric wardrobe with zippers.
Wu Liang lives in this kind of basement.
I found it through cell phone signal positioning.
I stood at the door with Wangcai and knocked on it.
"Who is it?" It was Wu Liang's voice, a little impatient.
"Who is so annoying at this time?"
Huh? I also heard a woman's voice.
"Wangcai! Push it away!"
With a loud "bang", the cheapest wooden door was almost as thin as paper in front of Wangcai, and Wangcai pushed it right in.
The lights were on inside, and I could clearly see Wu Liang stacked on top of a naked woman.
"Ah!" The woman just yelled, and I yelled, "Shut up!"
Wangcai straightened up immediately, and the woman stopped screaming and didn't even dare to look at me.
