The Pentium Era - South to North
Chapter 2227 Sloth
He Hongmei returned to the study after washing up. She saw Zhang Xiangxi lying there with his hands and legs crossed, his clothes had been lifted up, and his bare belly was exposed. He Hongmei couldn't help but smile. When she just went out to the bathroom, she The quilt had been covered for her, but she didn't expect that after a while, she got out again.
Tonight, Zhang Xiangxi followed her grandparents and grandparents and came back after the wedding banquet at Tuxiangyuan Hotel. Grandma gave her a bath, but she just refused to sleep in her own bed. She had to come up and sleep with He Hongmei. .
Grandma told her: "It's still early for Aunt Hongmei, they still have things to do."
"I know she hasn't come back." Zhang Xiangxi said, "I can sleep in bed alone and wait for her."
Grandma had no choice but to take her upstairs and watch her get into the air-conditioned quilt. Grandma was still sitting, wanting to wait until she fell asleep before going down. Zhang Xiangxi stretched out his hand from the quilt and rushed her to get her to sleep. , don't be so naughty, you are here, making me unable to sleep.
Grandma didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only leave the light on, close the door and go out. After staying downstairs for more than ten minutes, she tiptoed upstairs to see that Zhang Xiangxi had fallen asleep, so she went to sleep with peace of mind.
He Hongmei walked over, took down the rolled hem of Zhang Xiangxi's clothes, covered her with a quilt, and then walked to sit down in front of Xiao Zhao's urn and said to Xiao Zhao:
"Xiao Zhao, Bei Bei and Nan Nan are getting married. Many, many people are here today, including Chen Qihang, Lin Yiyan, Sun Hou and the others, and Qian Fang and the others. Cao Minfang and the others are also here. Haha, Mr. Xie is also here. Here he is, the middle seam of his trousers is still ironed and straight, and he can cut tofu. Alas, it’s just that you and Lao Meng are not there. If you were here, how happy he would be today.
"Laugh, laugh, you know how to laugh. Didn't you already know it before I told you? Did you go there too? By the way, haven't you said since you were a child that Nannan is your daughter-in-law? , I didn’t expect it to be really…”
Someone knocked gently on the door. He Hongmei stood up, walked over and opened the door, and saw Zhang Chen and Xiaofang standing outside the door.
"Still not asleep?" He Hongmei asked.
"Aren't you the same?" Xiaofang said.
He Hongmei smiled, Zhang Chen and Xiaofang walked in. The three of them looked at Zhang Xiangxi who was sleeping on the ground. Xiaofang smiled and said, Xixi really relies on you.
"Yes, like mother, like daughter, and the same goes for her mother," He Hongmei said.
"Don't come here," Xiaofang said. "At that time, you refused to go to a hotel and stayed in my room."
All three laughed.
After walking to the sofa and sitting down, He Hongmei asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiaofang said: "Why, you can't come in if you have nothing to do?"
"Of course." He Hongmei smiled, "But it's a bit too serious and grand for two people to come together."
"Yes, Hongmei, we want to talk to you. There is indeed something wrong." Zhang Chen said.
He Hongmei turned to look at Zhang Xiangxi, and Xiaofang said, "Leave her alone. When she is asleep, you can't even hear thunder."
He Hongmei pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei, and asked: "Okay, then, who of you will speak first?"
"Everyone says the same thing." Xiaofang said, "Sister Hongmei, we are here just to ask you if you have any plans to return to China?"
He Hongmei smiled and said, "Me? What else can I do now that I'm back? Should I go to work as a designer at Half Acre Field, or sit in an office at Xiaofang's company?"
"You can do whatever you want, and we will support you, Sister Hongmei." Xiaofang said.
"Hongmei, I'm thinking that you can come back and set up your own design company. Nowadays, the output of domestic movies, TV series and variety shows is very large every year, but there are not many really good costume designers. For some movies, they have to pay high salaries. Hire overseas designers.
"I think you know this very well. I know that many people have contacted you. If you come back now, it will be a good opportunity. With your ability, you will soon be able to create your own design brand. .”
Zhang Chen and He Hongmei talked. He Hongmei shook her head slightly, and Zhang Chen continued:
"We, your friends, still have some connections. If we can help you, I think your company will be established soon."
"I believe, Master." He Hongmei said, "I believe that if I come back, you will definitely help me. Even if they don't know me at all, looking at your face, they will hand over some projects to me and make the company better." There’s no problem at all, but I feel like I’m not that kind of person anymore.”
"What kind of person is he?" Zhang Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's no longer the same situation as before. It's not enough to set up my own studio in Hangzhou. I have to go to Beijing to set up a studio, open a factory, produce my own clothes, and create my own brand. Now think about it. , sometimes I don’t believe that when I was young, I was so powerful and dared to break through.”
He Hongmei smiled as she spoke. This smile was a bit complicated. He Hongmei looked at Zhang Chen and Xiaofang and continued:
"Now, I no longer have that state of mind. It may be that I have been in Japan for a long time and my mentality has become old. Japan is like this. It is a stagnant society. If you put anything fresh in it, it won't take long. We become old-fashioned. How could we be like this when we were young? At that time, Japanese movies and TV series were so popular in China.
"But now, I know that not many people in China watch Japanese dramas. Japanese movies are basically extinct, right? Everyone is watching Korean dramas, Vietnamese dramas, and even Thai dramas. They all say that the Japanese are very particular, very precise, and have a craftsmanship spirit. , but at the same time, he is delicate, not even the youngest, but young people are reckless, who cares about whether they are delicate or not.
"Really, let me tell you, after arriving in Japan, I worked very hard to integrate myself into that society, but after integrating, I feel like I have grown old with Japan."
"Nonsense, Sister Hongmei, I don't think you have aged at all." Xiaofang said.
"Do you know that I can deceive others, but I can't deceive myself? I feel that I am an old person. If I continue to toss, I can't move anymore. If I have to rely on others, I am getting older. , I have become thin-skinned and can’t bear it anymore, haha, this is the advantage of being young. When you are young, you can even act shamelessly.
"By the way, when I came that day and saw the pole, I was very emotional. In the past, I wanted to trick him into treating me. I kept staring at him and owed me so many meals. Every time, I made him helpless. I thought It’s really fun to think about.”
Zhang Chen and Xiaofang also laughed. Of course they also remembered that at that time, Liu Ligan owed He Hongmei endless food for his descendants.
Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said:
"It's not that scary, Hongmei. On the good side, everything is standardized now, and things have become easier. For example, like before, when you get a business license, you have to ask this person for help, and ask that person for help." , No need to do it now. Whatever you need to do, go to the service hall to do it. It can be completed in a few working days. It is written clearly and there is no need to find anyone.
"When it comes to age, Zhuangzi and I are both older than you. We still have to start a new business. Zhanzi will be his 'travelling business', and I will be my 'food and drink'. We will do a good job, and we won't." It’s not that scary to have to ask for help and rely on others.”
Xiaofang nodded beside her, and after Zhang Chen finished speaking, she continued:
"It's true, Sister Hongmei. Although it is very difficult to start a business now. In every industry, there are thousands of troops walking a single-plank bridge, but for some people, it is not difficult. Who is it? That is the starting point at the beginning You are a person who is different from others. If you start now, your ability will not be a problem, your funds will not be a problem, and your resources will not be a problem.
"This is where your starting point is higher than others. If you come back, you will have to start from scratch, but there is nothing you can do about it. Your starting point is higher than others. Once you start, you will definitely be faster than others. It is not that scary."
He Hongmei smiled and said nothing. The three of them were silent. Or to be more precise, Zhang Chen and Xiaofang were waiting for He Hongmei's response. He Hongmei was not struggling, but avoiding. She wanted to get away. these questions.
After a moment of silence, He Hongmei said:
"Master, Xiaofang, thank you. I know you care about me. Even, let me tell you straight, you feel a little pity for me and feel that I am a bit desolate alone in Japan, right?"
Zhang Chen and Xiaofang were stunned for a while. It was undeniable that they really meant this. Moreover, they were not the only ones who had this intention, but there were many people. That morning, Zhang Chen and Xiaofang got up. After breakfast, before He Hongmei got up, Zhang Chen's mother quietly said to them:
"My heart aches when I look at Hongmei. It's really pitiful to think that she is alone in a foreign country so far away."
When He Hongmei's parents arrived in Hangzhou, they also approached Xiaofang and asked her to help persuade He Hongmei to come back, as long as she could return to China. No matter which city she wanted to be in after returning to China, He Hongmei's mother said, as long as she can be in the place we want. If you go to see her, you can go right away instead of having to apply for a visa and just wait for the visa.
Even Liu Ligan arrived at Zhang Chen's office and told Zhang Chen seriously, "You can't be so ruthless. Zhang Chen, don't care about anything else. This Sichuan girl is still your apprentice. You must find a way to get her back." Everyone is happy when they are together.
Zhang Chen and Xiaofang were speechless for a moment, and He Hongmei continued:
"Master, Xiaofang, what I said is that I have an old mentality and don't want to bother anymore. Maybe it's not very accurate. What's my state now? I don't want to move, I just don't want to change. I feel like a sloth. , from the inside out, every cell is like a sloth.
"Don't forget, when I come back now, I am still a foreigner. My nationality, connections, business, rhythm of life, including lifestyle, are all completely Japanese. I don't want to be a foreigner again. I It’s already scary to be a foreigner.”
No matter how much Zhang Chen and Xiaofang tried to persuade him, He Hongmei had no intention of coming back. Zhang Chen became a little anxious and asked:
"You don't want to leave Japan or come back so much. Is it because you are in Japan? Is there anything else worth worrying about?"
He Hongmei looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Wrong, it's here. There's nothing worth worrying about, so I have to come back."
When the two returned to the room, they both felt a deep sense of frustration. Xiaofang picked up her mobile phone and called He Hongmei's mother. Xiaofang said:
"Auntie, there is no way. Sister Hongmei has made up her mind not to come back. I think no one can persuade her."
On the other end of the phone, He Hongmei's mother started crying while holding the phone, and Xiaofang also cried.
