Chapter 10: He was immature.
Lu Jiunian hung up the phone immediately, seemingly furious, and slammed his phone heavily on the table.
He pressed the inside line.
The assistant rushed in.
Lu Jiunian's voice was slightly angry, "Go and investigate whether Shi Nianzhi sold his phone to buy a train ticket! Does he really want to leave me that much? It seems I've been too good to him!"
"Please calm down, I'll go check it out right away."
The assistant should get on with it immediately.
Soon, the assistant returned with the phone that had been sold.
She barely dared to breathe as she replied to Lu Jiunian, "Young Master Shi... sold his phone for a thousand yuan and is currently on the train back to 'Dashan Village,' which has already left the province."
Lu Jiunian picked up Shi Nianzhi's phone and slammed it against the wall.
The phone was shattered into pieces, and the man's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
......
Shi Nianzhi took a bus and drove for two hours along mountain roads before finally returning to this familiar place.
In autumn, the fields are a golden yellow, and the sunlight shining on them makes them look especially beautiful.
Because it's deep in the mountains, the weather is already getting chilly.
"Once you cross this mountain, you'll reach Dashan Village. The car can only go this far."
The driver's kind reminder.
Shi Nianzhi stood up and walked to the driver's seat, his eyes sparkling. "Brother Xu, don't you recognize me?"
"Oh, it's Nianzhi! I didn't look closely. Judging from your clothes, I thought you were a college student on vacation. Your parents said you went to the city to work. How is it? Not too hard, right?"
Shi Nianzhi nodded. "Hmm, it's alright."
“Your dad looks much better. I saw him going to the market the day before yesterday. It’s unbelievable that someone who was about to die was cured. Your dad is very lucky. Nianzhi, you will definitely be successful in the future. Alright, go back now, it will get dark soon.”
"Okay, Brother Xu, drive slowly and be careful on the road."
"Oh, right, put this on. It's getting chilly, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, I'll return it to you next time I go to the market."
"Don't mention it, you're being so polite after just one trip!"
Shi Nianzhi took the coat from Brother Xu, got out of the car, and watched Brother Xu's car drive away.
He put on his coat and walked along the rugged, winding path.
Lu Jiunian picked him up along this road back then, but now he probably thinks he's stupid and has sent him back.
Lu Jiunian disliked him quite a bit; he could sense it. The man was very polite and didn't say anything, but many times the look in his eyes hid disappointment.
Shi Nianzhi thought that he probably didn't like seeing Lu Jiunian disappointed.
When Shi Nianzhi arrived at Dashan Village, it was almost dark.
A dim yellow light shone in front of his tiled house.
Shi Nianzhi appeared at the door, but was startled by the scene in the courtyard.
Lu Jiunian sat in a chair with a cigarette between his thin lips. Behind him stood two bodyguards and an assistant.
Opposite the man were Shi Nianzhi's elderly parents, who stood there helplessly, looking like children who had done something wrong in front of Lu Jiunian.
His father, with the simple, honest smile typical of rural people, his hands dirty from farm work, pulled out a red plastic lighter.
"Mr. Lu, it was Nianzhi who was being unreasonable. I apologize to you."
His father bent down to light a cigarette for Lu Jiunian.
But the bodyguard grabbed his wrist and shoved him hard backward, and he was about to fall.
Shi Nianzhi rushed in and called out worriedly, "Dad!"
Lu Jiunian's sharp, cold eyes immediately turned to him as he rushed in.
