"Have you told your parents that you two are in love?"
Speaking of this, Su Ruchu suddenly looked at Zhou Honghai nervously.
"Brother Honghai, you have to keep this a secret for us. Don't let it slip."
Zhou Honghai laughed, "Looks like he hasn't said it yet."
"I understand. Your brother Honghai was also at your age."
"Don't worry. I will keep it a secret for you."
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table and Chen 꼎 greeted them.
"Let's eat first and talk while we eat."
He picked up a bottle of beer and said, "Brother Honghai, shall we have a drink?"
Zhou Honghai did not refuse and took the beer bottle with a smile.
"Okay, I never had the chance to drink with you back home, so let me take this opportunity to test your alcohol tolerance."
Su Ruochu said quickly: "Chen, don't drink too much."
Zhou Honghai uttered a sigh.
"Look, we haven't even entered the door yet, but we're already protecting each other."
"What are you talking about?"
Su Ruchu blushed and felt so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
Chen explained with a smile: "I usually drink a lot, but today Brother Honghai is here, so as the host, I'm making an exception and asking my wife to have a couple of drinks with you."
Su Ruochu glared at Chen 꼎.
Who is your daughter-in-law.
Zhou Honghai just waved his hands with a smile.
"Chen, it's wrong for you to say that."
"Why are you the host?"
"You know, a few years ago, I also studied in Yunhai for four years."
“This is also half my hometown.”
Chen 꼎 didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay, I said something wrong. I'll punish myself with a drink first."
As he spoke, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"light and spacious."
Zhou Honghai picked up the glass and drank with him.
Since we were all acquaintances, we were not so guarded when chatting with each other, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.
Zhou Honghai has a good personality and high emotional intelligence, so the topic of conversation at the dinner table has always been firmly controlled by him.
During the period, Chen and the others also told them about their college life.
"Well, there are college couples, but the ones who really stay together until the end after graduation are the ones who are the most happy."
"Love eventually succumbs to reality, to houses, cars, distance and time..."
Having said that, Zhou Honghai picked up his glass and drank it by himself.
Apparently, 놛 also had a deep love affair during college.
"Chen, Ruchu, it's not easy for you two to go from high school classmates to college. I wish you two to persevere and walk all the way to the marriage hall."
As he spoke, Zhou Honghai poured a glass of wine and picked it up.
"Then I'll take your good words." Chen 꼎 smiled and drank a glass with him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit sad, Chen 꼎 took the initiative to change the subject.
"Brother Honghai, what is the reason for coming to Yunhai this time? I wonder if we can help you?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and waved his hands.
"I came here mainly to meet up with some old classmates and friends."
"When we graduated, some of my classmates went on to graduate school, while others started their own businesses."
"Some of my classmates chose to stay in Yunhai, and I stupidly returned to my hometown..."
"As a result, a few years have passed, everyone is doing well, but I am still standing still."
Seeing that Zhou Honghai seemed to have something else in mind, Chen Yu took the initiative to clink glasses with him.
"What happened?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly: "You can see this?"
Chen 꼎 thought, your worries are written all over your face, if I can't show it, wouldn't I be a fool?
Su Ruchu also asked with concern.
"Brother Honghai, are you worried?"
Zhou Honghai took a sip of wine depressedly and sighed.
"Don't mention it."
"The computer school in my hometown is closed. I closed it last month."
Chen 꼎 was stunned.
"Closed?"
"Wasn't business good before?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly: "Business was good before because I used you to advertise, and it was summer vacation, so there were many students."
"Students are starting school now. Los Angeles is a small place, and parents don't have that long-term vision."
"After all, only a small number of people are willing to spend money to let their children learn computers."
"I've been running this shop on and off for almost two years, barely making ends meet, but I'm almost 30 this year, and if I continue like this, I feel like I'm a complete loser..."
Zhou Honghai shook his head. "I chatted with my old classmates online for a while. Seeing how glamorous everyone was, I felt that I had been wasting my time these past few years."
"So I just gritted my teeth and closed the school."
"I've sold all my computers at a low price. I don't plan to go back after coming to Yunhai this time."
Chen 꼎 asked curiously, "Are you planning to start a business in Yunhai?"
Zhou Honghai shook his head. "I can't say for sure."
"One of my old classmates chose to continue his postgraduate studies and will graduate this year."
"A few days ago, he chatted with me and said he was planning to start a business and asked me if I was interested."
"I came here this time to meet with you and see if there are any good business opportunities for us to work together."
Zhou Honghai said with emotion: "I must make another effort while I still have dreams in my life, otherwise I will really have no chance when I am old."
Looking at Zhou Honghai in front of him, Chen 꼎 suddenly had an idea.
I have a new idea.
How about inviting Zhou Honghai to be the manager of Chujian Internet Cafe?
First of all, Zhou Honghai studied computer science, which was a related major.
Moreover, the two of them knew each other and understood each other quite well.
Plus there’s the relationship with Su Ruchu.
Chen 꼎 thought his idea was right.
But what Zhou Honghai said just now proves that he still has dreams and drive in his heart.
Chen 꼎 was not sure if the other party would agree if he sent an invitation.
After thinking about it, Chen Ruo decided to test the other party's thoughts first.
"What is the business project that your senior is planning to start?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I don't know. I just know that besides me, there are a few classmates I know, and no one is willing to work for others."
"This time, I came here just to have a good chat with you and see what everyone thinks."
have to!
After all this time of trying to figure out a relationship, Zhou Honghai still hadn't finalized any business projects.
After the meal, Su Ruochu and the waiter packed the leftover food.
Chen 꼎 accompanied Zhou Honghai to the corridor outside to smoke.
“Can you smoke?”
Zhou Honghai joked with a smile.
Chen 꼎 did not hide it and nodded.
"Yes. But I don't smoke in front of Ruchu."
"Good comrade."
Zhou Honghai patted Chen 꼎 on the shoulder.
Chen 꼎 smiled bitterly and lowered his head to play with the cigarette in his hand.
"Brother Honghai, if your classmate hasn't decided on a startup project yet, would you like to find a job first?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't want to go back to my hometown."
"If my classmates are unreliable, I will definitely look for a job."
"Well, I have a job here. I wonder if you are interested."
…
"Internet cafe manager?"
Zhou Honghai looked confused.
“What is an Internet cafe?”
"You can think of it as a comprehensive Internet cafe, where you can not only surf the Internet, but also have other entertainment..."
Zhou Honghai asked in confusion: "When did Yunhai have an Internet cafe?"
“It was just opened two months ago.”
"How do you know they are short of managers?"
Zhou Honghai said jokingly, "Even if they are short of a manager, they can't hire someone like me. They must be looking for someone with work experience..."
"Unless you are the boss, the Internet cafe owner would be a fool to hire a rookie like me with no work experience..."
Chen 꼎 smiled.
"You're right. I'm the fool."
Zhou Honghai was stunned.
Chen 꼎 looked at the other party and nodded.
"I just opened the Internet cafe in Yunhai."
