My 1979 - Chapter 1672
c1670 upset
He quietly stepped aside and stood on the side of the balcony, holding on to the railing.
This is a good location to observe guests entering and exiting from the ground floor, as well as to see the entire lobby.
As soon as he took out a cigarette, a lit lighter came over to him. When he turned around, he saw it was Fu Lin.
“Thank you.” He had a good impression of the smiling fat man.
Fu Lin said, “We are members of the same family, don’t talk about two families.”
A waiter came over and seemed to want to say something, but he drove him away impatiently.
“Is it not allowed to smoke here?” He looked at the cigarette in his hand and embarrassedly blew a melancholy smoke ring into the branches of the trees outdoors.
Fu Lin then lit up a cigar and said with a smile, “I don’t know what the rules are. You can smoke cigars, but you can’t smoke. But no matter what the rules are, they don’t apply to us, so don’t worry about those gossips.”
“Then I’m relieved.” He Zhou said, “You can’t tell any accent.”
Fu Lin said happily, “Really? I started studying in Shenzhen in junior high school, and then continued until high school, and then went to the United States.”
“That’s much better than me. I’m just a bumpkin.” He Zhou said.
“This is a bit of a curse. I’m just a country bumpkin.” Fu Lin said, “It’s the first time we’ve met, and we’ll be friends from now on. Don’t be polite to me. I’ll treat you tomorrow, so please be sure to honor me.”
“Definitely.” He Zhou didn’t refuse. He said it so solemnly. It would be a bit unreasonable to refuse. Besides, he wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t refuse, because in the end, his mother would definitely force him to go.
Fu Lin pointed at the girl named Wendy and said, “If you are interested, I can help you put in some effort? Li Pei and Yang Huai are both married, so it’s not a good match. I think you have a good chance.”
He Zhou waved his hand and said, “I said I’m not from the same place. Do you know what I mean?”
“Understood.” Fu Lin said no more.
I sighed secretly, it was Li Lan again.
Fortunately, Li Lan has a partner, otherwise he would doubt his orientation.
“I don’t understand these women!” Li Pei also walked over, lit a cigarette, and asked with a smile, “How are you doing? You don’t like them? Don’t set your sights too high.”
He Zhou said, “Your minds are full of women. If you don’t talk about women, will you die? There is still a lot of fun in life.”
Li Peidao said, “Those who cannot resist temptation are all good men. Good men are willing to spend money and souls for women. As soon as they have money, they want to take care of more girls.”
He Zhou smiled and said, “Wrong logic.”
Although he was in Hong Kong, he was very anxious. Regarding the company’s matters, he couldn’t ask Liu Cheng directly, as if he didn’t trust her, so he could only use his mobile phone to communicate with Hao Yingming more.
“Are you okay?” He sent her a message while lying on the bed in the hotel.
“Of course it would be nice to live in a big house of more than 70 square meters.” Hao Yingming replied quickly.
“Aren’t you busy now?” Then he heard the other person’s voice saying, “I’m very busy. I’m exhausted. House prices have risen so much that I want to sell the house and travel around the world.”
“It’s a good idea.” He Zhou wrote, giving him a thumbs up.
“The landlord doesn’t agree.” A sad-faced emoji.
He Zhou laughed dumbly.
The reply was, “Then buy it.”
“No money.” Another chin-supporting expression.
He Zhou didn’t have time to chat with her. After asking about the company’s situation, he said good night to her.
Lying in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Looking at the time, he finally couldn’t help but send a message to Qufu.
“Are you sleeping?”
“No ah.”
He Zhou was surprised when he heard the ringtone. He didn’t expect the other party to reply so quickly.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” he asked.
“I’m trying to suppress my desire to study. I have strong self-control and can suppress it.”
“If you want to learn, just learn.” He Zhou said.
“No, every morning when I wake up late, I want to kill myself who stayed up late.”
He Zhou was about to continue replying when he received another one.
“Good night.”
He could only reply, “Good night.”
Then I took my phone and read all the information from beginning to end.
Suddenly he heard a click and stretched his neck to see that the door popped open. He was startled. He took the trash can in his hand and walked to the living room of the suite, only to find that it was his mother.
“It’s scary. Can you knock on the door?” He put down the trash can and patted his chest.
Zhao Di said, “Are you still telling me about privacy?”
He Zhou said, “Of course.”
He answered in the affirmative.
After Zhao Di sat down, she saw the ashtray full of cigarette ashes, and then said angrily, “Are you addicted to cigarettes again? It’s gone.”
He Zhou said, “I only smoke after drinking. If I don’t drink, I won’t smoke. What’s the matter?”
Zhao Di said, “Your uncle Li asked Li Lan to go to the United States for further study and inspection. I thought you had never been abroad, so I went out to have a look with him. There are many people going together, so I feel relieved.”
He Zhou said, “I don’t have time right now, let’s wait until the end of the year.”
He thought about it and refused.
“That’s up to you, Yang Huai and Li Pei are also going.”
“Their family, go to hell with them, I’m just messing around, right?”
“Then I won’t disturb your sleep.” Zhao Di patted his head and left the room with a smile.
The next day, at the dinner party at Fu Lin’s house, Li Pei told him again, and he made it clear that he was unwilling to participate.
Li Pei and Li Lan looked at each other and could only express helplessness.
On this trip to the United States, the guide was Li Yi.
She had studied in college in the United States for four years, so she was naturally familiar with everything.
Li Pei and Yang Huai were okay, after all, they came often.
In comparison, Li Lan is a bit of a country bumpkin, and he doesn’t understand everything.
The person who received them was Ivanov, who was already in his early seventies and had white hair.
At the welcome banquet, Li Lan listened to a man who claimed to be an old friend of his father’s talk. This boastful old man actually boasted that he wanted to run for office.
Out of politeness, he did not smile at that time, and listened with great interest, asking questions from time to time in a bad accent.
The old man also felt as if he had met a soulmate, and he was dancing happily while talking.
However, not long after, he saw this old man on the news and actually ran for office.
A few months later, this white-headed man really succeeded
He suddenly felt that life was an absurd drama.
Li Lan wanted to have a full-body checkup, but he didn’t know if his intestines were green or not.
Because he clearly remembered that that night, the old man wanted to invite him to a banquet and introduce his daughter to him.
he refused
He actually refused.
he refused
And he refused very simply.
Looking at the shining old man and daughter on the electronic screen, and thinking about it again, he banged his head against the wall.
