Zhou Yi and Yun Gaofei brought Lao Xiao back to Li Zhao's warehouse.
Back in the warehouse, Lao Xiao was still drunk and kept repeating, "I'm a waste, I don't deserve it."
Yun Gaofei couldn't help it, and unceremoniously brought a basin of cold water and poured it on Lao Xiao.
"Ah~" Lao Xiao exclaimed in surprise at the cold water splashing in his face.
He kept using his hands to wipe the water off his face, and at this time he became a little more sober.
He raised his head and stared at Yun Gaofei with drunken eyes, then slowly turned his head to look at Zhou Yi who was sitting opposite him. He shuddered and sobered up a little.
Now he was too ashamed to face Zhou Yi and just wanted to stand up and run away.
"Lao Xiao, are we still partners?" Zhou Yi saw that Lao Xiao was about to stand up and run away again, so he spoke softly.
Lao Xiao stopped when he heard this, his shoulders trembling slightly. "Partner?"
"I don't deserve it." After saying that, he wanted to walk out of Li Zhao's warehouse again.
"Old Xiao, if there's a problem, let's solve it. We're still good partners." Zhou Yi looked at her back, his voice still low. "If you run away like this today, there will be no possibility of our cooperation from now on, and we will stand on opposite sides from now on."
When Lao Xiao heard this, he stopped again, stood there in silence for a long time, then slowly squatted down, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Xiaoyi, I'm not worthy of being your partner." He covered his eyes and kept repeating.
Zhou Yi sighed in his heart. What could drive a middle-aged man to this point?
She slowly stood up, walked behind Lao Xiao, stopped, and said softly, "Lao Xiao, partners are about trusting each other, walking side by side, and overcoming difficulties together. If there are problems, solve them. Running away is a cowardly act."
After a pause, Zhou Yi continued, "Whether it's Xian Chun or sneakers, the choice is always yours. Xian Dong can't control you. You chose to be a coward before. Now and in the future, I hope you won't run away again."
"Wake up first, calm down, and think it through carefully. I'm waiting for you in Meiyi. Don't make me wait too long." After saying that, Zhou Yi glanced at Yun Gaofei and motioned him to go together.
After Zhou Yi left, Lao Xiao stood up shakily, returned to the yard, and sat on the rattan chair where he usually drank.
He looked up at the sky, maintaining the same posture for a long time.
He didn't even know when Li Zhao sat next to him.
Until night falls, there is no moon tonight, but there are stars twinkling in the night sky.
Yes, after avoiding it for so many years, the problem is still there.
Lao Xiao's eyes gradually became firm, and he stood up straight, as if he had made some decision.
"That's right, as a grown man, you should stand tall and upright. What's the point of lying around all day long?" Li Zhao, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Lao Xiao and said.
Old Xiao ignored him and turned to go in to wash up. When he came out, he looked much more refreshed. His usually messy long hair was now tied behind his back.
He straightened himself and then walked quickly towards Meiyi.
Zhou Yi and Yun Gaofei were waiting on the second floor of Meiyi.
Seeing that it was already completely dark, Yun Gaofei glanced at Zhou Yi, who had been silent the entire time, and asked, "Will he come?"
"We'll know in a moment." Zhou Yi turned her head to look out the window. She was actually not sure.
After all, this not only involves Lao Xiao, but also his lover. Although they have divorced, it can be seen that Lao Xiao still has feelings for his ex-wife, otherwise he would not be threatened by Xian Dong.
It was precisely because he was too concerned that Xian Dong took advantage of him.
However, Lao Xiao was in a confused situation before, and he was the only one who could break the deadlock. If he did not stand up strongly and just kept escaping, he would only lose more.
"What if he doesn't come?" Yun Gaofei asked softly.
He has always been disgusted with Lao Xiao. He was a good man, but he made himself look like a monster and had no sense of responsibility at all.
"If he doesn't come, we can only think of another way. After all, no one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep." Zhou Yi sighed lightly, looking at the Wenming Road where the lights were just coming on as night fell, which was a unique feeling.
"Then I think you can think of another way." Yun Gaofei believed that Lao Xiao would not choose to stand up.
Zhou Yi turned to look at Yun Gaofei, his eyes full of confidence as he said, "I think he will come."
Just then, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"Since Xiaoyi trusts me so much, how can I let him down again and again?" Old Xiao walked to the second floor and said softly to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi saw that the person coming was Lao Xiao, a refreshed Lao Xiao.
She smiled and stood up from the sofa, "I knew you wouldn't let me down."
"How dare I let you down again?" Old Xiao walked up to Zhou Yi and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"You don't have to say sorry, but have you thought it through?" Zhou Yi looked at him seriously and said.
Lao Xiao looked at her firmly and said, "Think it through. I will never back down again."
Zhou Yi smiled and pointed at the sofa and said, "Then sit down and talk about what happened today."
In fact, today's matter was very simple. Xian Dong knew that Lao Xiao and Zhou Yi had developed a new type of shoes, and he had seen the samples. With his keen sense of the market, he knew at a glance that these shoes would definitely become a hit, and he was anxious.
Xian Dong knew that Lao Xiao and Xian Chun had been in love for many years and had been waiting for each other.
He used this matter to threaten Lao Xiao that if he continued to cooperate with Zhou Yi, he would never let Xian Chun see Lao Xiao in his lifetime.
He also said that Xian Chun was in Jinghai now, and asked Lao Xiao if he wanted her to watch the fight between them with her own eyes?
When Old Xiao heard that Xian Chun was in Jinghai, he was completely upset.
But at the same time, I was completely timid and only thought about how to escape, even at the cost of giving up the situation I had worked so hard to achieve.
When Zhou Yi heard this, he thought, it seems that Xian Dong is quite free.
At the same time, she was also thankful that things hadn't gotten so bad that they were out of control. She looked at Lao Xiao seriously and said earnestly, "Lao Xiao, you should understand that if you don't stand up, you and Xian Chun will never have another chance."
"I understand. That's why Xian Dong asked me to bring the style, technology and shoemakers of the sports shoes to his shoe factory and start production immediately. I refused. As for the other shoemakers, I just told them to take two days off." After Lao Xiao finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of guilt.
\"This Xian Dong is really going too far. Isn't this blatant robbery? Does he still care about laws and regulations?\" Yun Gaofei was very angry after hearing what Lao Xiao said.
Yes, isn’t stealing the fruits of other people’s labor robbery?
Zhou Yi didn't expect Xian Dong to have such an idea.
It seems that he is really free, we need to find something for him to do.
