Amorous Short Stories

Ding Qing was about to be buried in the information that Ding Hong handed over. The people around him were waiting for him to decide on the itinerary. Ding Qing went through it and said, "Let's start from the south."

So they went to Dongguan as the first stop.

Ding has a container terminal area at Dongguan Wharf. After driving for two hours, Ding Qing and his team arrived at nine o'clock. This is an industrial wharf, and there are no business clusters nearby. This site occupies a large area, and there is a signboard at the gate. It is seven or eight meters long, a national flag is planted at the door, and five or six cranes are working behind it.Lin Gong 46, the supervisor in charge of this area, drove a golf cart and stood at the door looking at his watch.Dong Gong, 35, is the deputy team leader.

Ding Qing and the others entered the gate, the driver went to stop the car, and the people who came down shook hands with Lin Gong one by one. Lin Gong took everyone into the car and drove the steering wheel: "Go to the pier first or go along?"

Ding Qing said let's go along.

Lin Gong didn't talk much, so he drove the car.Dong Gong is from Cantonese and speaks Mandarin with a southern accent. He introduced the passing workshops.Fang Musi, who was sitting in the second row, came over: "You speak Mandarin quite meandering."

Dong Gong said "Hey" with a very rich southern accent: "Then you need to speak Mandarin when talking about work."

Ding Qing smiled.

They got out of the car when they passed the second district, Lin Gong led the way with his hands behind his back, and Dong Gong led them forward: "It's easier to walk this way forward. Is it convenient for beautiful women?"

Ding Qing turned her head and glanced at Lu Qiao. It was the first time she came into contact with this kind of project, and she was wearing small leather shoes with wedge heels.Lu Qiao noticed that someone was looking at her, and quickly replied: "Yes, it's okay."

When entering the workshop, Lin Gong asked everyone to put their mobile phones in the duty room, put away their watches, and gave everyone a safety helmet before leading them inside.

They looked up at the bottom of a ship, and Lin Gong was very proud: "Actually, if you talk about technology, we are no worse than foreigners. Look at this console. It was just replaced at the end of the year, and the assembly line was completed last month. After passing the inspection, we also rated it as an excellent site. Let’s talk about Mr. Jiang’s accident ship. Using our own, it may not be such a big event. The most taboo in the industry is foreign worship, domestically produced..."

Ding Hong coughed, and Lin Gong stopped talking, looked at the faces of the people around him, and stopped talking.

"Come here, Boss Ding." Dong Gong led them back, behind them was a skeleton, and there were steel pipes all over the ground. Lin Gong looked back while walking, "Be careful, beauties, slow down."

Although Lu Qiao didn't like this, and didn't know how to reply, he raised his head and forced a smile at Dong Gong.

Ding Qing looked at the process of welding torch splashing behind him, and turned to ask Lin Gong: "Who do you report to for the replacement of equipment like yours?"

Lin Gong said: "I just reported it directly, and I don't know who to report it to."

"Is it approved quickly?"

"It's very fast, it will be approved in a week, and it will be processed in a month." Lin Gong replied.

Ding Qing nodded and said nothing.

They walked around twelve o'clock in the factory, and the last stop was the unloading area.Lu Qiao was walking beside Ding Qing. When Ding Qing turned his head, he saw that the band-aid in Lu Qiao's right shoe had been opened, and half of the gray cloth was exposed outside the shoe. I don't know how long it had been on. Lu Qiao felt a little uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to keep up. .Fang Musi fell more than ten meters behind, walking leisurely and slowly, showing no intention of catching up.

Seeing that Lu Qiao was working hard, Ding Qing stopped, pointed to the large container beside him and asked Lin Gong: "What is this?"

When Ding Qing stopped, everyone stopped too.Lu Qiao took this opportunity to adjust his shoes.Lin Gong didn't know, so he had to repeat what he had just said.

At twelve o'clock, the gas storage truck had just finished loading and was about to be pulled away from the pier.The front of the transport vehicle is huge and white, with a red "explosion" printed on it. The breakpoint between the front and the tank body is extremely wide, and it can turn straight.

Ding Qing pouted his chin and looked at the driving car: "How long will this tank of gas be filled?"

Lin Gong looked at the supercharger: "This? This one will take four to five hours."

Lu Qiao and another person from the brokerage were taking inventory of the fixed assets, and Ding Hong was also flipping through the reports to talk to the legal staff.Only Ding Qing was chatting with Lin Gong.Fang Musi finally came over, Ding Qing asked Lin Gong: "How do you eat at noon?"

Lin Gong replied: "There is a canteen."

"Then let's go to the cafeteria." Ding Qing said.

"Go to the cafeteria?" Dong Gong asked.

Ding Qing looked at Lu Qiao and the others: "Are you going?"

Lu Qiao shook his head: "We have to go back and check our watches, and then go to the pier to the west. We have to fly to Singapore at night, so we are in a hurry."

Fang Musi interrupted: "I also want to go back to the hotel."

Ding Qing nodded: "Okay." Then he turned to look at Dong Gong, and put his hand on his shoulder, "Then let's go alone."

Dong Gong glanced at the young master's hand, nodded his head: "Hey, good."

Most of the workers in the cafeteria have finished their meals, and only two rows of lights are left.At the exit, there is a statue of Guan Gong.When Ding Qing and the others went, there were few people, and there was only a table of young workers who had just finished their work eating.

Ding Qing sat on the stool, looked at the workers and said, "Let's sit together."

The workers looked at each other, then at Lin Gong, and came over with their meals.Ding Qing chatted casually with them, and Ding Jue cooked for him.

Talking about the rebuilding of the Foshan Line, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was talking about his previous experience: "The last time I ran a long distance, I passed the customs and drove here for 25 hours without closing my eyes. At that time, I just caught up with the Foshan Line. The mountain over there collapsed or something, the main reason is that it is blocked..."

Ding Qing was picking up the eggs in the bowl when he raised his head: "25 hours?"

"Well." The young man nodded, and immediately added, "There is no hidden danger, I have experience, and the main thing is blocking the road, otherwise it would not be possible."

Ding Qing nodded. He hadn't had much food in the cafeteria, so he thought the eggs were okay, but not tender enough.

"Where are you from?" Ding Qing asked him.

"I'm from Xujiang."

"Where?"

"A town in Maoming, so small, you probably haven't heard of it."

"Are you all from the south?" Ding Qing asked them.

"I'm from Sichuan." A dark, skinny young man straightened his hunchback, like a spring.

Ding Qing smiled: "Sichuan is also considered the south."

The guy from Sichuan laughed: "They told me that everything north of Guangdong is north."

The others laughed and pushed him.

Ding Qing started to drink soup, black-bone chicken stewed with papaya: "Then I should be the farthest to the north." The soup was too bad, so he turned his head and asked Ding Jue to find a bottle of wine.

"Where are you from?" A young man with a shaved head like a scoop and a flat back asked tentatively.

"According to the origin, it should be from the Northeast." Ding Qing held a cigarette between his fingers and stroked his eyebrows with his thumb, "But our family has moved several times, and I don't remember where it was first."

The lad Piao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't get in the words just now: "I'm from Beijing."

"Then you ran quite far." Ding Qing pinched his cigarette, and Ding Jue came back with wine.

"Hey, when I was a child, didn't there be some kind of 'buying a house and giving you a registered residence' here in Guangdong? My father was not in good health, and thought that he would be prone to hemiplegia in cold weather, so he wanted to come to the south. He also sold the house, so he came here. As a result , take a look..." The lad laughed, "I can't go back there..."

Ding Qing also laughed, poured himself a glass of wine, and poured a glass for the boy as well: "Then you don't know much about investing..."

Seeing that Ding Qing was pouring the wine, the young man raised his cup with both hands to make it easier for Ding Qing.

Ding Qing poured it for him and wanted to pour it for the person next to him, but Ding Jue said let me do it, so Ding Qing gave it to him.

After eating, the lads were ready to leave after looking at Mr. Lin, saying that they would take a nap at noon and that they still had things to do in the afternoon.They said goodbye to Ding Qing, and Ding Qing sent them off: "Have a good rest. You have worked hard."

"Where are you going this afternoon?" A young man asked before leaving.

"Let's go later, to Qingyuan."

"You've worked hard too." The guy from Xu Jiang said.

Ding Qing shook his head sincerely: "You guys are working harder."

Lin Gong and Dong Gong went to the door to pick up the goods, and they also greeted Ding Qing and left first.

After they left, Ding Qing drank with Ding Hong: "I'm not much older than them."

"You look old." Ding Hong replied to him.To be honest, Ding Hong didn't like Ding Qing's mingling with employees very much. He thought that a young man like Ding Qing always wanted to show his affinity.But Ding Hong did not approve of this approach. Ding Qing was young, and as a relatively distant leader, being friendly was not a good reputation at all, at least it was useless.Affinity and authority often cannot coexist. If you want to coexist, you need to pay a lot of effort, but in this environment, it is actually unnecessary to spend effort on personnel matters.Therefore, Lin Gong is the authority, and Dong Gong is responsible for conveying to the employees to ensure passage.

Ding Qing made Ding Hong look a little different. In fact, it doesn’t matter to him who is in the position. Some people want to work and some don’t. This is not his problem.But Ding Hong is still a bit ambitious, he has his own views on Ding's property, Ding Qing at least wants to do things seriously.Ding Qing didn't plan to engage in any kindness, just like his father in this respect, Ding Qing put his mind on what he cared about after chatting with them.

"You said that at that time, the people above were fighting for power, and I couldn't even replace the bucket of water in my office. They can still operate normally. Why?"

Ding Hong handed over the form: "This is really Jiang Feng's credit. The earliest Ding family's factory here was handed over to Jiang Feng. He is very good at this. The operation approval is directly transferred from the finance department of the joint transport. Just report to Ding for reconciliation at the end of the season. Although Jiang Feng died and Ding has been changing leaders, these will not affect the main links here. Jiang Feng is not the same as Liu Yao here, and the domestic situation is more complicated. Like Jiang Feng, he has done a very good job on the ground, and there must be someone who can check it out. The factory we are in now," Ding Hong Turning his head and drawing a big circle with his arm, "Fixed assets and turnover, there is a small tens of billions. The environment was not good in the past two years. When it was losing money, some accounts were filled by those small places and some dark business. Apart from this, there are still There are a few big factories, and they are also very powerful. Jiang Feng should be the most wealthy of the four of them, very low-key, and he is in the industry, and has always looked down on Liu Yao. But in fact, he didn't understand Liu Yaoren's assets The flow is so fast, the leverage is low, and the tax policy is not the same direction at all. Liu Yao is really rich. But after that, the extensive ones will lose huge profits. No matter what, they have to be in line with the policy. This time you come down and take a look, we will audit the accounts and try to re-plan the plan."

Ding Qing didn't speak, Ding Hong looked aside, leaned over and continued to say: "Besides, Jiang Feng is engaged in trade import and export, and many governments have nodded his head. There are some special equipment, precision machinery, optical instruments and so on. .Jiang Feng’s side is still easy to deal with, at least things are not easy to move, you know what I mean.”

Ding Qing nodded: "I told you about my plan, I want to leave while I can, but I think Liu Yao's business..."

When Lin Gong and Dong Gong came back after signing the bill, Ding Qing stopped talking: "Let's talk when we go back."

————————————————————————————————————————

Ding Qing ran around the country for two months. When they went to Wuhu, Fang Musi separated from them, went to Shanghai, lived in his luxury suite, returned to his comfortable life, got up at eleven o'clock in the morning, Running sports cars, drinking and playing billiards to amuse the little girl.Ding Qing was still running in the wind and sand, went to a gas storage station, and stayed in a hotel in a nearby town.The best hotel, which is an ordinary budget hotel, Ding Qing couldn't fall asleep on the first night, the hotel's quilt was too hard, the room was small, and the toiletries were very cheap.He had never lived like this before, and he had dark circles under his eyes for several days.

When leaving Wuhu, Ding Qing suddenly wanted to go to Lishui.

Tao Yisu's house is actually not hard to find. Now there is a small blue aluminum sign on the wall at the entrance, and the house is for people to visit.When Ding Qing went, there were foreigners taking pictures.

When Ding Qing walked in, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were neatly trimmed, the bayberry trees were still lush and green after all these years, and the sound of stepping on the stone road was also a rattling sound.As soon as a person enters, the pace slows down along with time.Ding Qing walked especially slowly. He looked at this old courtyard, which once accommodated Tao Yisu's chaos and innocence, weakness and kindness. After Tao Yisu left here, there would be no corner to accommodate these shortcomings, but these shortcomings are more important than the advantages. Define Tao Yisu.Ding Qing has always felt that the source of a person's strength and self-confidence comes from the unconditional love he felt in his early years. Even if it is a misunderstanding, it is enough for him to become an independent and self-loving person.Getting along in love is very difficult. As an adult, there is no more unconditional love. You can't be coquettish, you can't lose your temper, you can't be greedy, and you can't cause trouble for others. You must be rational in everything, mature in getting along, and be a normal person.Like Tao Yisu, he would never ask Ding Qing to tie his shoelaces on the street, he would never call Ding Qing for comfort when he was nervous at night when he was insomnia, and even saying "I miss you" felt like tearing his throat.Because he is Tao Yisu.But Ding Qing is willing to provide such a corner and wants him to change.But what about Ding Qing himself?Greedy and vicious, indifferent, good-natured, but open-minded, without guilt, has its own philosophical system, and describes itself as good, bad, lovable, annoying, fearful and worrying, and lonely And arrogant, all emotions and experiences were given to Tao Yisu.Tao Yisu didn't pick or pick, and hugged him.Also because Tao Yisu is Tao Yisu.Ding Qing thought that he would not like people like Tao Yisu, but what did he "think"?Tao Yisu was not what he expected, so how could his feelings be under his control.

From this point of view, they are not qualified normal people.

But Ding Qing thought again, love, what is it normal to talk about?

Independent and healthy people are looking for a life partner and a leisurely confidant. A happy relationship is enough for a while. The chic emotions of "gather into a ball of fire and disperse into two stars", "good together and easy to disperse", have nothing to do with the stickiness of love. It's a greasy monster, but there are still some inexplicable things missing in the middle.This thing makes the parties want to leave but can't leave, it makes others disgusted, and future generations hate it.

But it doesn't matter, Tao Yisu still has Ding Qing, Ding Qing still has Tao Yisu.

Ding Qing looked at the courtyard, just like looking at the young Tao Yisu, running around, climbing up and down, feeling melancholy because it was nothing more than homework and classmates, and the sky fell only because he was criticized by the teacher.All mistakes can be made up, as long as he carefully wipes the lion at the door.

The scenery is really nostalgic, the world and the people have changed a few times, but they are still lingering and refusing to leave.

————————————————————————————————————————

Tao Yisu comes to the groom's bar to pass the time every day.He and Tide's Internet boxing business has failed. Tide is actually not very sad, because he is still out of trouble, just cut off a source of income, but their boxing ring and physical business have been pulled up, Tide still has earned.His cousin made a fortune, fell in love with a woman, was pulled into an organization, worshiped God every day, and had to cut some blood and drink each other every now and then.After staying for two months, it would be nice to be able to come out. The money is gone, and I am now looking for a job.

Ding Qing and Ding Ziyu were ruthless. If it wasn't for Tao Yisu, Tide might have disappeared like the others on Gauguin's side. His cousin would have to go to jail if he left the cult, which is considered lenient.But Tao Yisu didn't say anything, and no one knew that he would know Ding Qing.

As soon as Tao Yisu came back, the groom was pleasantly surprised for about 10 minutes, his face immediately pulled down, and he looked at him very sympathetically, but he didn't ask anything, and he didn't let Poker ask.When eating together, Poker and Kang Ruyi played flashes, and the groom asked them to pay attention.Every time Tao Yisu went to drink, the groom would always add lemons, olives or cherries to him, instead of complaining that he, as an investor, didn't care about anything.

Tao Yisu gradually understood that the groom and the others felt that they had failed in chasing love, and returned to being alone.

"How happy you were then..." The groom looked at him tenderly with his lips pursed.

Tao Yisu almost told the truth, but the attitude of the groom and the others was too good, the lemons and olives they added were too fresh, and they enjoyed special care without spending money.

"There is a meeting in the afternoon, let's go together, if you want to burn all the old clothes and photos, we can buy some new ones." The groom suggested.

"Hmm...?" Tao Yisu agreed first, although he felt that breaking up would not be enough to burn things.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it." The groom patted his proud chest.

"Oh, no need." Tao Yisu waved his hands and refused, how embarrassed he was.

Now that there are few people, Tao Yisu coughed, and was going to tell them part of it, because Ding Qing was coming soon, and they had to see each other.

"Actually..." Tao Yisu hesitated to speak, and the three of them all focused on him.

Tao Yisu coughed: "My... lover... he, um, is a man."

Then Tao Yisu looked at their faces, not knowing how they would react.

Then the three of them glanced at each other, Poker took out his wallet, counted a few pieces of money, and handed them to Kang Ruyi and the groom.

"..."

Tao Yisu watched this scene.

Kang Ruyi took the money in his hand and shook it: "I should be the first to know."

"Impossible." The groom waved his hand, "I knew it the first time I saw him."

"Then you still say 'his woman is very powerful'?"

Tao Yisu looked at the groom: "Why do you tell her everything?"

The groom waved Tao Yisu to be quiet, and continued arguing with Kang Ruyi about his ability to recognize gays.

Poker sat next to Tao Yisu, smiled kindly, and patted him on the shoulder with some reassurance: "I actually thought you liked Ruyi, I really thought too much..."

Tao Yisu looked at the three of them in a speechless manner.

Nian Yao said he wanted to see Tao Yisu, so Tao Yisu waited in the bar all day until one o'clock.

Tao Yisu yawned while drinking tea. He hadn't stayed up late for a long time.

When the singer was resting in the bar, a man dressed in rags and carrying a guitar came over and asked the boss in Chinese if he could come to sing. The groom asked him if he could speak English, and the man shook his head.The groom said no and told him to go.After watching the whole process, Tao Yisu asked him when he turned around with his guitar on his back: "What can you sing?"

The man's voice was hoarse: "I can only sing Chinese songs, old songs. I can't sing new songs."

Tao Yisu asked him again: "How is the singing?"

The man paused for a moment, as if pondering the answer, before finally saying, "Probably not very good."

Tao Yisu and the groom both laughed, and the man said goodbye to them and left without saying anything.

Kang Ruyi called the store and asked Tao Yisu if she was free and helped her move something, and Tao Yisu went there.When I went out, I saw a guitarist squatting at the door of the bar, smoking a cigarette. I saw Tao Yisu come out, looked up at him, and then turned back.

Tao Yisu went to the poker house.

When he came back, the person carrying the guitar was still squatting at the door smoking. Tao Yisu looked at the cigarette butts on the ground and found that this person was smoking very slowly.This man was in his early forties, with gray hair and a messy beard, some of which were long and sloppy. He was wearing a torn thread cap, and his hands had fingerless gloves, which seemed to be homemade, with smooth stitches. There is mud in the nails.He was wearing a gray T-shirt with exaggerated pictures of comic characters on it; a pair of army green shorts that just reached the knees, revealing his dark calves, gray and white thin-soled sneakers, the brushed surface of the toe was so rough that it was lined.

"You smoke very slowly." Tao Yisu looked at him.

"There's only one pack left." The man answered the question without looking up at him.

Tao Yisu went in for a while, and then came out again: "The boss said you can sing, but the money is not much, so you can only sing at the time when the band doesn't want to perform. In the early morning, do you want to come?"

The man looked up at him: "Yes."

After three o'clock, Nian Yao finally arrived.Unexpectedly, Yan Wen followed.

Tao Yisu froze for a moment when he saw Yan Wen, and suddenly felt very bad.

Yan Wen went to the booth at the back, and Nian Yao and Tao Yisu came over saying hello.

"Why did Yan Wen come?" Tao Yisu looked at Nian Yao warily.

Nian Yao smiled and sat next to him: "Just ask him."

Tao Yisu took a deep look at Nian Yao, got up and walked towards Yan Wen.

Yan Wen looked at him without expression, while Tao Yisu sat opposite him, sat down, and did not speak.

Yan Wen said first: "How are you doing?"

Tao Yisu thought it was funny, even a person like Yan Wen would be kind when he was old. "Are you looking for me?"

Yan Wen raised his hand, indicating that this side wants to order, and Kang Ruyi came over.Kang Ruyi handed the wine list to Yan Wen, but looked at Tao Yisu, who gave her a reassuring smile.

"I chatted with Mr. Qin a few days ago, do you remember him? Roy Shackford."

Tao Yisu nodded.

"The mission that went wrong last time, do you know why?" Yan Wen looked at him.

Tao Yisu raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Because the team leader is Yan Zhangyang?"

Yan Wen smiled: "Forcing him hard, and not wanting to kill him, if you do this kind of thing by yourself, you can't do it..."

Tao Yisu looked up at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"The situation is different now. Business is no longer simply in a local chaotic place. The infiltration area of ​​​​terrorist organizations is larger, and our scope of activities is also wider. Now orders from the government do not need to be hidden. Well, the group of opinion leaders who call for weapons regulation, freedom and equality, the Virgin Mary, also have to make concessions before safety and efficiency. Prince is right, we can do more things now. But correspondingly, for personnel The requirements are even higher." Yan Wen looked at Tao Yisu, "This is a very good time, what Yan Meng wants to defend and NT's mission suddenly overlap, we all have a common enemy, don't we? The best of the year At that time, we had more than 20 private soldiers around the world, not counting tens of thousands of registered soldiers. NT had more than [-] aircraft, as well as a surveillance airship unit, and even our own intelligence department. We have been down for a while, but better times Coming soon."

Tao Yisu propped his right arm on the table, clenched his hand loosely into a fist, pressed his cheek against it, and tilted his head on it, listening lazily. This was the first time Yan Wen was talking to him about macroscopic things. Tao Yisu probably knew what Yan Wen wanted to do. .

"Mr. Qin and I also chatted about you, and you have been enjoying a good life recently." Yan Wen smiled, "But you are too, why do you keep causing trouble?"

Tao Yisu still didn't speak, he realized that Yan Wen had done so much to pave the way, and Yan Wen was already so afraid of him.If we look at the old grievances and grievances, NT's real influence may not necessarily be the Yan family.

"Speak directly." Tao Yisu was very sleepy.

Yan Wen also stopped going around in circles: "Come back and bring Yan Zhangyang out."

Tao Yisu smiled: "Give Yan Zhangyang to me, and you can rest assured?"

Yan Wen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes." After a pause, his voice lowered, "Because of Yan Meng."

Tao Yisu really hated the Yan family mentioning Yan Meng's name, he lowered his head, not wanting to look at Yan Wen.

"Your contract with NT hasn't expired yet, take him for two or three years, give him a good reputation, and I'll let you go." Yan Wen began to negotiate.

Ding Qing suddenly flashed in Tao Yisu's mind.

"Then...if I don't go back," Tao Yisu looked up at Yan Wen, "what can you do to me?"

Yan Wen thought that he knew Tao Yisu well enough. He didn't know the variables in Tao Yisu's life. He really didn't expect that someone like Tao Yisu would say such a thing, because if Tao Yisu was a person who could say such a thing, he would have said it a long time ago. free before.

But Yan Wen just sat upright: "If you can't return to your normal life, you can't be yourself. I can help you. Regarding your wanted arrest, NT can come forward and take responsibility, so that in most files, it will not become murder. , unless they don't recognize our employer's government. You can still call your name back. What's your last name, Tao?"

Tao Yisu didn't say anything, and exchanged for the rest of the ten-year contract in two or three years. His own identity and the burden on his heart for the rest of his life were very tempting to him.

Yan Wu looked at Tao Yisu's downcast eyes and didn't speak. He finally smiled and sighed. We've known each other for almost 20 years, and grievances and grievances are like rice that hasn't been poured away overnight. Bad smell, some people can leave the house, some people can't.Yan Wen couldn't leave, and neither could Tao Yisu. For them, the pass of the dead was too sad.Especially Tao Yisu.Yan Wen has figured it out for so many years. He understands the facts. Right and wrong don't matter. Right and wrong are meaningless. He seems to understand Tao Yisu, but he doesn't seem to understand. What about Tao Yisu?

Tao Yisu has changed now, he wants to be relieved, he wants to be responsible for Ding Qing and this relationship, he wants to burn the messy emotions and past entangled in himself, he doesn't want to see the broken body in his dream again. Yan Wu and the broken Yan Meng, he sympathizes with Yan Wu, respects Yan Meng, Yan Wu and Yan Meng cannot live to guide his life, he wants everything to have meaning, so he desperately gives meaning to things.But he really wanted a break.To a certain extent, Tao Yisu's relief was the "good break up" with the Yan family.

"I'll think about it." Tao Yisu replied.

After Yan Wen left, half an hour later, Tao Yisu was still sitting in his seat, and Nian Yao sat opposite him.

"Aren't you going back?"

"He still has things to do." Nian Yao always smiled, "I've been busy recently."

Nian Yao thought Tao Yisu would ask what he was up to, but Tao Yisu didn't care.

"I understand, you want to be free." Nian Yao always tried to get closer to him when he was talking, "Have you ever thought, if, just if, you control NT...then, when the time comes..." Nian Yao looked at Tao Yisu with bright eyes, trying to stir up some kind of emotion.

Tao Yisu raised his eyes to look at him and smiled. Nian Yao thought he was on the right path, and he became more energetic: "Your reputation is much bigger, and your situation is better than that of the fox. You don't want to try?"

"Do not want to."

Nian Yao's smiling face froze for a moment, and then he was unwilling: "You never thought about it?"

"No." Tao Yisu replied.Speaking of which, Yan Wen knew him better.

Nian Yao fell silent, sat back and shook his head: "Aren't you ambitious?"

"Yes." Tao Yisu drank his own lemonade, "I want to be myself."

Nian Yao disdainfully said, "What's so difficult about that?"

"It's difficult. Do what you want to do, keep your weaknesses, don't correct them, and don't try to become a better person." Tao Yisu raised his eyebrows, "It's too difficult in this world. Everyone has an imaginary self Image, everyone wants to improve, right?"

Nian Yao looked at him curling his lips, and the drink was tasteless: "You are so strange..."

Tao Yisu smiled, staring at the water in a daze.

Nian Yao remembered something and sat forward again: "What I told you just now..."

Tao Yisu understood: "I won't tell Yan Wen."

Nian Yao licked his lips, nodded, leaned back confidently, crossed his legs, raised his wine glass as a signal, and finished it in one gulp.

Tao Yisu is still at the bar tonight. He usually lives in the groom's house, a small apartment, and there is no TV. No wonder the groom can stay at the bar all the time. The house is so boring.

The old man with the guitar was old, they called him Jigo.With Jige coming, the groom's workload is much less.Jige speaks very little, has great strength, can't mix drinks, and is not very interested in life, but he doesn't complain much. His main job is to clean the toilet, sweep the floor, change the light bulb, and stand up to bluff people.Poker is busy with the business of the boxing ring, coming irregularly, Kang Ruyi has a good brain and is in charge of business, the groom is in charge of entertaining, wandering around the field, gossiping about various news, Tao Yisu, resting with his feet up, occupies a seat at the bar, like a mascot .

At three or four o'clock, the bar almost dispersed. Ji Ge had nothing to do, so he plucked the strings twice and asked the groom if he could come on stage and sing.The groom saw that there were not many people in the bar, so he agreed, thinking how bad could it be?

Ji Ge went up and sat down, adjusted the microphone, just sat down, adjusted the strings, and when he spoke, half a note didn't come out, and he let out a long sigh, which was so heavy that everyone who listened felt tired.

The groom patted Tao Yisu: "This man is more mournful than you."

Tao Yisu nodded: "Compared to him, I am simply a little sun."

...This, the groom doesn't quite agree.

Tao Yisu whistled, attracting Ji Ge's attention: "It's the entertainment industry, let's sing more happily."

Ji Ge rolled his eyes, sighed, and began to sing.The song was "Baby". The groom and Tao Yisu looked at each other and thought it was okay. Although his voice was a little dry, the tune was not flying.

The groom whispered to Tao Yisu's ear: "Hey, let me tell you, the other day I saw the necklace in Ji Ge's pocket, and there was a picture of a little girl inside, who looked very similar to him, maybe it was his daughter..."

"Really?" Tao Yisu was surprised.

Tao Yisu looked at the groom: "Hey, he will come later."

"Who?" The groom's eyes lit up immediately, "Really, he came here? Right now?"

"Well, I just got off the plane." Tao Yisu felt that the groom was too excited.

The groom rubbed his hands: "Oh, you have no points, you brought them all back, oh, what should I do? It's too sudden, I didn't even prepare the meeting ceremony when I came to see us..."

Tao Yisu smiled and waved his hands: "What are you doing for a meeting ceremony? He just got off the plane, and he doesn't know how to bring..."

Then Tao Yisu noticed that the groom stood up straight, his eyes looked behind him, and then fell back on him: "I think it seems to be coming."

Tao Yisu turned his head to look, the door was pushed open, a bell rang, Ding Qing stepped in, followed by Ding Fu.

Tao Yisu laughed, then turned to ask the groom, "How do you know it's him?"

The groom shrugged his shoulders. In fact, he guessed blindly: "My intuition is right."

Ding Qing came over, greeted Tao Yisu, said hi with a smile, bowed his head and kissed him before finishing speaking.Then the two separated and smiled at each other for a while.

The groom coughed, and Tao Yisu immediately stood up, pointing to a circle of people from near to far: "This is the groom, this is Kang Ruyi, that is poker, and Ji Ge is singing on stage."

Ding Qing shook hands with everyone one by one, and then called Ding Fu, who was holding several boxes.Ding Qing handed it over, and he gave the groom a tie and a silver ring necklace, Kang Ruyi a silk scarf and perfume, and a poker bat: "Tao... Yan Wu told me that you are a BarryBonds fan. He signed it."

When the groom received the gift, he began to count the money in his head. Kang Ruyi was embarrassed. Poker was the most excited, his eyes glowed, and he held Ding Qing's hand: "I can't even describe how grateful I am."

Ding Qing looked at them with a smile: "It's good if you like it, I came in a hurry..."

Tao Yisu stared dumbfounded at their exchange of pleasantries, which lasted for a while before they broke up.Then Ding Qing sat next to Tao Yisu, sat close to him naturally, and put his hands on his lap: "Did you miss me?"

Tao Yisu smiled speechlessly: "You still have time to choose gifts?"

Ding Qing supported Tao Yisu's leg and leaned forward: "I didn't pick it, the secretary picked it."

"Thank you." Tao Yisu looked sincerely at Ding Qing's face in front of him, "Is it difficult to get a poker signature?"

"No." Ding Qing shook his head. "My grandfather has a friend. His nephew is in charge of player transactions in the Yankees. It's too easy to get an autograph. Do you know what's difficult?"

"what?"

"The last time we shot that baseball, you said you liked Mickey Mantle." Ding Qing begged for praise, "I bought his bat. It was bought in the Memorial Museum, in 61."

Tao Yisu was stunned. He liked Mickey Mantle a little, but not that much.
