Chapter 117: Starting a New Life
At night, Wang Xiuren leaned against the headboard and sighed with mixed feelings: "Five years have passed in a flash."
He was talking about the number of years he had followed Brother Man.
It's a pity that all good things must come to an end. Once the cabinets for this large suite are finished, it will be time for him to start a new business.
A person may have more than ten five-year periods in his life, but for someone who is about to reach his thirties, five years accounts for one-sixth of his life.
Lin Qiu patted his shoulder and comforted him silently.
Wang Xiuren grabbed her hand and interlocked their fingers. "It's okay. I was just expressing my feelings a little bit!"
He is not a sentimental person by nature, but when the relationship between people reaches this level, sadness and reluctance are always inevitable.
"Go to sleep!" Wang Xiuren let go of Lin Qiu's hand and stuffed it into the quilt again.
Lin Qiu was exhausted after a long day and was extremely sleepy. He fell asleep in a short while.
Wang Xiuren listened to the breathing sounds beside his ears and looked at the ceiling, and stayed awake all night.
The next day, Wang Xiuren went to work as usual, yawning from time to time, and was glad that he was just finishing the work today and did not need to use tools such as cutting machines.
Otherwise, given the current state of mind, something might happen.
He took a big gulp of the strong tea, chewed the tea leaves vigorously, and tried his best to cheer himself up.
Yang Guiman stood at the door and watched, and suddenly felt that he would never find a master chef like Wang Xiuren again.
He couldn't help but want to keep him, but he also knew that Wang Xiuren had done his best for him.
Thinking of this, Yang Guiman waved at Wang Xiuren: "Brother, come here!"
There was no noisy sound of cutting machines on the construction site today, so Wang Xiuren could hear it clearly.
He put the nail gun aside, dusted himself off, and strode over.
"Let's have dinner together tonight?" Yang Guiman smiled and patted Wang Xiuren's shoulder.
Wang Xiuren agreed, but felt inexplicably sad.
Even though everyone will be in Pengcheng in the future, the two families will still maintain contact.
At the dinner table that night, after three rounds of drinks, Yang Guiman asked, "Do you still remember Lao Liu and Lao Li?"
Lao Liu and Lao Li are two old masters who have followed Yang Guiman. It is said that they are both doing very well now.
Wang Xiuren nodded. "Why don't you remember? They took a lot of carpenters with them."
Five years ago, when Yang Guiman's career was steadily rising, Lao Liu and Lao Li were jealous of Yang Guiman's high earnings. Not only did they secretly pry away several of his large construction sites at low prices, they also took away more than a dozen carpenters he had recruited.
At that time, Yang Guiman’s two construction sites were almost unfinished.
Fortunately, Wang Xiuren not only helped to take the lead, but also managed the construction site in good order.
"I felt at the time that you were a real person. You never refused anything I asked you to do." Yang Guiman held his hand. "I've been out for so many years, and you're the first one who knows how to be grateful!"
Wang Xiuren only then realized that Brother Man thought so highly of him, but he still answered sincerely and practically: "Brother Man, you were the first one to lead me in doing things. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to me in Pengcheng!"
"With your skills, it won't be a problem to find a job!" Yang Guiman took another sip.
Wang Xiuren also gulped down the wine in his glass. "But I feel at ease working with you. You are also very straightforward when I ask you for help. You are humble and always look up to me."
Yang Guiman might have been a little drunk, and he slammed the table: "Brother, you are right about this point."
"I, Yang Guiman, started as a small laborer step by step. I suffered from other foremen. After I became successful, I swore that no matter how much money I made, I would never look down on others. Even if I made a loss, I would pay everyone exactly the wages I deserved!"
"So, everyone wants to work with Brother Man!" Wang Xiuren patted Yang Guiman's shoulder vigorously.
"But you are leaving now!" Yang Guiman spoke out his true feelings under the influence of alcohol.
"I really don't want you to leave! If you leave, where can I find such a good chef? He has good skills and is a real person."
Yang Guiman poured himself another glass, raised it and clinked it with Wang Xiuren.
"But I can't stop you from making money, and I can't use our friendship to keep you. So Brother Man wishes you all the best and a prosperous career!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.
Wang Xiuren also drank it in one gulp, and then filled Yang Guiman and himself up.
He stood up straight, raised his glass with both hands, and looked at Yang Guiman sincerely: "Brother Man, thank you for taking care of me in the past five years. I will always remember your kindness! Even though I will no longer work with you in the future, as long as you ask, I will definitely come!"
After saying this, he bowed to Yang Guiman and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
With tears in his eyes, Yang Gui drank the glass of wine that Wang Xiuren offered him.
We ate until the moon rose into the sky.
Wang Xiuren helped the drunk Yang Guiman out of the hotel and hailed a taxi to take him home.
Even though Yang Guiman was drunk, he did not forget to put a red envelope into Wang Xiuren's pocket when Wang Xiuren was about to leave.
"Brother Man, what are you doing?" Wang Xiuren immediately pushed the red envelope back.
Yang Guiman pushed it away and waved his hands, "This is a gift from your elder brother to your younger brother. If you refuse it, you are looking down on me, Brother Man."
Now that things have come to this, Wang Xiuren had no choice but to accept the thick red envelope.
"Brother, work hard! Brother Man is rooting for you!" Yang Guiman waved and staggered into the door.
Wang Xiuren looked at the closed door and couldn't help but shed tears.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
He looked up at the deep blue night sky, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.
The moment he saw the moon, he suddenly missed Lin Qiu terribly.
He walked back to Jinxiu Garden, drunk.
Lin Qiu was just about to close the door of the convenience store when he turned around and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"How much have you drunk?" She couldn't help but fan away the smell of alcohol with her hand.
"Tonight's our farewell dinner. Brother Man and I couldn't control ourselves and drank a little too much!" Wang Xiuren explained.
Farewell dinner?
Well, that's one reason not to criticize him for being drunk.
"Are you dizzy now? Let me help you go home and rest." Lin Qiu held his arm.
Wang Xiuren leaned on Lin Qiu and murmured, "Okay, let's go home!"
Lin Qiu helped Wang Xiuren to the bed and poured him a glass of honey water.
Wang Xiuren slowly regained consciousness and handed the red envelope to Lin Qiu, "This is from Brother Man!"
Lin Qiu pinched the thickness of the red envelope and said to him: "This is because Brother Man recognizes you, so he gave you the red envelope!"
Wang Xiuren seemed very tired. He closed his eyes and leaned against the headboard, looking a little fragile. "Brother Man did a great job for me!"
"I know!" Lin Qiu covered him with a blanket. "We will always remember his care for us. We will definitely repay him when we have the chance!"
"Okay! You must help me remember it!" Wang Xiuren's voice gradually faded away.
Lin Qiu assured: "I will definitely remember it for you!"
