Catch the wind

Ever since he started the tobacco business, or in other words, since he was able to make a lot of money, Ye Xueshan has been living complacently and confidently.In fact, he had never suffered from poverty before, at most he was in a little bit of poverty, so he would not be short of food and clothing; but he seemed to have been poor for several lifetimes, and put all his body and mind on the banknotes.When he had no money, he racked his brains to maintain his image as a wealthy man; when he had money, he dared to walk on the street with his hair disheveled.Money is his life, his guts, and his spirit.

The business has been in business for nearly four years, starting with a big profit and ending with a big loss.Tens of millions of money went in and out of the left hand, and what was lost was not only the years, but also the vigor - he was still young, so the years may not be considered precious;He is now in the midst of failure, and it cannot be said that he has suffered a crushing defeat, but it will be difficult to make a comeback.

Ye Xueshan fell ill silently, of course it was a heart disease.Ordinary headaches and brain fever are nothing, just take two aspirin to overcome it, but there is no cure for heart disease.The company collapsed, and the millions of property were gone.He was groggy and had a low-grade fever, lying under the quilt and flipping through the passbooks one by one.With the current expenses, the life of sitting and eating may last for a year or so, but it's hard to say, he never spends money, who knows?

He was so poor, and if he was allowed to beat around heartlessly like in previous years, then he would rather plunge headfirst into the sea and die happily.Closing his eyes and shrinking into the bed, he decided to give himself some time.When the fever subsides, look for other sources of income immediately.

The servants of the Ye family, as servants, are considered good. They do whatever they are asked to do, and they do it carefully and never slack off.But if the master doesn't give orders, they can sit in the kitchen and spend the whole day with peace of mind.The regular chicken soup wonton sugar biscuits are available every day, and they are put on the table as they are, and then they are all removed as they are.Someone tiptoed upstairs to take a look, making sure that Ye Xueshan hadn't died in the room, then retreated silently.

Ye Xueshan was so ill that he couldn't get out of bed, his dizzy and dizzy wobbled every time he moved, his heart always fell so heavily in his chest that he couldn't even beat.

He learned to drink away his sorrows.After getting drunk, he can indeed be happier, and when he sees a desirable snack, he is willing to give it to his mouth.Unable to eat or starve, he continued to hang around. One day, he leaned on the wall and walked to the bathroom, when he suddenly noticed himself in the mirror.Looking at the person in the mirror, he was stunned for a moment, and he found that his hair was unmanageable—thick, yellow, and soft, all tangled from root to tip, and he didn't know what it was.

Drunk and hiccupped, he forgot why he came, staggered out of the bathroom, pulled out a pair of scissors and returned to the mirror.Raising his hand to pick up a lock of hair, he calmly closed the scissors, only to hear a "crack", and the lock of hair fell into the collar of his pajamas.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally fell asleep on the bathroom floor.After sobering up after a long time, his alcohol dissipated.Staggering to his feet, he gasped at his new image.

Then his feeling is not funny, but horror.He found that the rational part of himself was dormant, but the crazy part was ready to turn the tide.Looking at his messy hair, he thought to himself: "How did I become like a mother? Am I going crazy?"

He was suddenly frightened. Since Mrs. Ye's blood was flowing on his body, he might inherit Mrs. Ye's madness.Step by step, he walked back to the bed and sat down. He suddenly realized that he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.

Putting his bare feet back on the bed, he thought of Gu Xiongfei.Not missing, just wanting.Gu Xiongfei is his only relative. Although the other party does not admit it, but he admits it privately, Gu Xiongfei has nothing to do.Gu Xiongfei went to Weihai on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is almost May now. I remember that he seems to be able to take a short vacation every few months.Lying down on his side in unbearable pain, he thought that Gu Xiongfei must never come back now, he can't see people with his appearance, and he came back for nothing.

Relying on opium, alcohol, snacks, and refreshments, Ye Xueshan slowly overcame the low-grade fever.

On a May afternoon, he cheered up, washed and dressed, then put on a peaked cap, and went out to get his hair trimmed.He was always afraid that Gu Xiongfei would return to Tianjin suddenly, and he had always been very shameless in front of Gu Xiongfei; if Gu Xiongfei said that he was "inhuman", he would be ashamed and sad and immediately break up with him.

Sitting sickly in the car, he was still thinking about it.He didn't want Gu Xiongfei to see his weakness, and he didn't want Gu Xiongfei to know his failure.He hoped that he could start a new career before Gu Xiongfei came back. With a career and money, he would not be considered a waste of idle food, and he would have the confidence to be good with Gu Xiongfei and bad with Gu Xiongfei.

The barber spent a lot of thought and time, and finally gave Ye Xueshan a hairy cut.Cropped and hairy, of course not very beautiful, but at least it looks normal, not a madman's head.

Ye Xueshan left the barber shop, and then went to a special drug rehabilitation hospital.It turned out that hospitalization for detoxification was quite expensive. After he finished his consultation, he walked out of the hospital and secretly calculated his accounts. He thought that he would rather save a little in other aspects, and the detoxification expenses must be set aside first.Seeing that he was about to reach the car, he suddenly heard a familiar call: "Master."

He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look for Sheng Sheng, and saw Lin Zisen.

Standing beside a black car, Lin Zisen looked the same as before, and said with a friendly smile, "I saw the young master's car as early as on the street, and I didn't dare to disturb it, so I followed it all the time."

Ye Xueshan narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time pulled the car door forcefully: "Is there something wrong?"

Lin Zisen shook his head: "It's okay——"

Before Ye Xueshan could finish his sentence, he had already stepped into the car: "If you have nothing to do, get out!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Zisen quickly took a step forward: "Then I have something to do."

Ye Xueshan bent down and got into the car: "You can have a shit!"

Having said that, he slammed the car door shut.The car started immediately, and drove away without a trace.Lin Zisen stood alone on the spot, watched the car go away with a slight smile, and then turned his head to look at the hospital signboard.

It was only a few months since I saw Ye Xueshan, but to Lin Zisen, it was an indescribably long time.Recalling the chestnut-like head of the other party, he thought that the young master was still cute, and being so cute made him feel distressed.It's been a long time since I hugged and kissed the young master. Ye's servants are lazy, who can serve the little guy as meticulously as myself?The young master seems to be thinner than before, his lips and chin look exactly like Mrs. Ye, the resemblance is unbearable.After all, God still takes pity on himself, Lin Zisen thought, without his wife, there is still the young master.

Lin Zisen stood dumbly like a rock, and at the same time, his heart was full of stormy waves hitting the shore.Shaking his head emotionally, he turned around and got into the car talking to himself: "Little guy, I can't stand it."

Ye Xueshan didn't spend much time on Lin Zisen, it would be disgusting to think too much anyway, so he simply didn't think about it, and saved his energy for serious business.He didn't want to do the tobacco business anymore, because the ups and downs really hurt him.Maybe I can do some other business, but I don't know anything about it.Now the capital in hand is limited, so he can't allow him to mess around with his temper.

"Business matters..." He sat in the car and thought deeply, "Or, should I quit smoking first?"

He nodded to himself—by quitting smoking, first of all, he can save 2000 yuan a month in expenses.In case Gu Xiongfei comes back during this period, the courage to quit smoking can also make up for the fiasco in his career, so that he won't let himself lose his head in front of him.Besides, things have to be done in the same way, and it is useless to be anxious.

As soon as Ye Xueshan saw the light of day, his rationality prevailed, and his thoughts became orderly again.But when he got home and closed the door, he lay on the bed isolated from the world, feeling depressed again.

After all, he was cheated out of millions of property—a few million, enough to live the life of a young master for several lifetimes!It's not easy to make money by yourself, and now I still have deep and shallow scars on my body.The banknotes that she risked her life for were just swept away for no reason!

Thinking of this, Ye Xueshan turned over and pulled the cigarette tray subconsciously.He was angry in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Only opium smoke could relax his nerves a little.

Ye Xueshan stayed at home, his heart was cloudy and sunny, and there was never a good time.While thinking wildly, he went to the smoking cessation hospital a few times, and finally thought that he was upset at home anyway, so he might as well go to the hospital.

At the same time, Lin Zisen was not idle.He has secretly accumulated a huge sum of money in the past few years, and bought a small building with ease last month.While hiring a few craftsmen to carry out construction work in the building, he was thinking about how to get Ye Xueshan - in broad daylight, forcibly breaking into the houses is definitely not enough;But Ye Xueshan lives in seclusion now, and doesn't give him a chance to sneak attack; set up a bait to trick Ye Xueshan out?But Ye Xueshan doesn't even look at him now, what kind of bait can he release?

Lin Zisen was so anxious that he couldn't sleep thinking about Ye Xueshan.One day he couldn't take it anymore and strolled to the door of Ye Mansion. The courtyard door was closed, and there were only big yellow dogs and big yellow cats licking you and me.Suddenly seeing him coming, the big yellow dog warmly greeted him, and stretched its mouth out from between the iron bars.The servant in the building heard the dog barking and ran out quickly, but when he saw him, he stopped immediately and let out a bewildered "Yo".

Lin Zisen reached into the door with one hand to stroke the dog's head, and beckoned to the servant with the other.The servant came over hesitantly, and asked, "Are you looking for the young master?"

Lin Zisen smiled and said, "I'm looking for him, can he see me?"

The servant was young, and shook his head in thought: "I don't know... I can't see you."

Lin Zisen asked again: "What are you doing, young master?"

The servant replied without hesitation: "The young master is packing his things, and he is going to the hospital to quit smoking."

Lin Zisen seemed very interested: "When will you go to the hospital?"

The servant was about to answer, but unexpectedly, a window opened on the second floor behind him, and Ye Xueshan's voice sounded: "Xiao Zhang, lock up the dog!"

Then with a bang, the window was closed tightly.The servant didn't dare to talk to Lin Zisen any more, and forced the big yellow dog back to the porter, picked up the big yellow cat and threw it in.After closing and locking the door, he ran back into the building in panic without looking back.

Lin Zisen looked up at the window on the second floor for a long time, finally smiled, turned around and left.
