I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 160 Will He Be My Brother?
Amidst the sound of the passionate tide, my emotions gradually became excited. This was the first time in my life that I was willing to let go of my stubbornness and work hard for money.I think this is not a kind of loss, but an awakening, because after repeated setbacks, I finally learned to cater to the atmosphere of this society with a posture that is lower than my ideal.

About twenty seconds later, Sun Jiwei answered my call. He seemed to be attending some kind of dinner, so he asked me with various noises: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Brother Sun, find a place where you can talk. I want to chat with you for a while."

Sun Jiwei responded, and then heard the sound of him opening the door, and then the other side became quiet, and then he said to me with a strong drunkenness: "I'm already standing on the platform on the roof of the hotel, it's rare to be quiet for a while." , if you have anything to say, just say it...brother."

The sound of him lighting a cigarette came from the other end of the phone.

I was not in a hurry to chat with him about Cao Jinbo's shops, but I said to him in a light tone: "I know you have a lot of entertainment, but let's drink less wine...Look at you, drink again tonight." A lot, right?"

Sun Jiwei's laughter was full of helplessness, and he replied: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves."

"That's what I said, but this body is my own, so it's better to take good care of it, or else when it's time to enjoy the blessings, but fall into a whole body of illness, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss!"

After Sun Jiwei was silent for a while, he still smiled and said to me: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your business."

I also lit a cigarette facing the cold wind, and then said: "Brother...I want to talk to Cao Jinbo, I figured this out."

"Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

I replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid of living in poverty. I don't want my parents to worry too much. I'd better earn more money so I can feel at ease."

Sun Jiwei replied with empathy: "I believe what you said, because I also came from this stage... You said, we are really tired as men!...You are going to be old, and you haven't done it yet. Make some achievements, people outside look down on you, and people around you think you are useless... I think, in this world, there are still many people who make trouble for you, and few people are really good for you. If you want to To live with dignity, you must first learn to look at other people's faces... Really, it's not shameful to look at other people's faces at all. You think the high-ranking officials in the city are old enough. A high-ranking official can't live with peace of mind. When he looks at other people's faces, it's just that small people like us can't see it... Hehe... So, sometimes looking at people's faces is also a kind of training for yourself, understand?"

I don't speak, it's not that I don't like hearing him say that, it's just that I have a feeling in my heart that needs to be digested immediately.

Sun Jiwei misunderstood my silence, and said, "Brother, I drank too much today, so don't take what I say too seriously."

"I didn't take it to heart. Really, I just thought about it and think what you said is quite right."

"It's a good thing to like to ponder!" After a short pause, he said to me again: "By the way, I will help you ask Cao Jinbo tomorrow... According to my estimation, he will definitely not care about this. The rent is a small amount, so when you chat with him, it is best to have other things to impress him... Otherwise, the chances of this thing being done are not high, after all, you have had a festival before, and you have to keep this in mind There are many."

"Yes, I know……"

I only spoke halfway, and Sun Jiwei's alcohol seemed to pick up, and I heard him vomit...

After a long while, he said to me vaguely again: "Brother, let's not talk about it... Those grandchildren inside are urging me again, let's call tomorrow."

I hurriedly replied: "Don't drink it... Tell me a place, and I'll take you home."

"It's okay, brother... Keep the phone open tomorrow, wait for me to contact you."

Before I had time to answer, Sun Jiwei had already hung up the phone, and after a brief moment of daze, I seemed to be able to see that he was clearly at the end of his battle, but he was still holding on... I suddenly didn't want to have any prejudice against him anymore, Because I saw his difficulty.I am even a little ashamed, because in my social circle, he is the person who likes to call me brother the most, but I never really regard him as my brother, and even look down on his philosophy of life, while he But I have always been very enthusiastic about my work.

In such a conflict, I couldn't help asking myself, can I really become a brother with someone like Sun Jiwei with my personality?

Maybe, I won't get the answer now, but the powerful time can verify everything.

……

The next day, because I had something on my mind, I woke up early in the morning, took my mobile phone to the bar to charge it up, and waited for Sun Jiwei's call all the time, but I couldn't find a good reason in my heart to persuade Cao Jinbo Rent those 16 shops to yourself for one month.

I know Cao Jinbo's financial strength, he is really not a person who can value this rent, especially if we still have a holiday, if I can't find a reason to make him feel excited, this thing will be done It's really unlikely.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the breeze was blowing slowly. I should have been in a good mood because of this, but I became a little irritable.

At this time, Tao Zi and Tie Nan, who hadn't been able to touch it all day yesterday, finally came to the inn. Tao Zi was as caring as ever. She bought me my favorite red bean and barley porridge, and two boiled local eggs .

While taking the breakfast from her, I also smiled and asked her, "How is living in Shanshuijian?"

"It's very comfortable, especially the big balcony on the top floor, it's so convenient to dry clothes!"

"Such a balcony with a sea view, isn't it a bit too extravagant for you to use it to dry clothes?"

Tao Zi smiled, then changed the subject and said to me: "By the way, I have something serious to tell you. I had already found a bartending job in Bar Street, but Ye Zhi took the initiative to join me last night. My WeChat, asking me to be the manager and bartender of the Women's Flower Bar... You have a good relationship with her, so I want to ask for your opinion on this matter."

I was a little surprised, and asked again: "What treatment did she give you? I think it mainly depends on the treatment."

"There is no salary, but she said, I will give me the profit income after all the costs of the bar."

"It's okay... It means she spent 30 yuan to invest in you for nothing... You don't take any risk!"

"What if you lose money?"

"Is there always a little pressure... I think this thing can be done, which means that a ready-made bar is handed over to you, and you don't have to worry about decoration and supply!"

Tao Zi seemed a bit tangled, but I could understand that, after all, she had no experience in business, let alone managing a bar, so it was normal for her to have no opinion on this matter.

But he didn't want to, Tie Nan took the words and said: "I think it's better to forget it... When Bai Lu was running this bar, it only made about [-] yuan a year, which is about the same as your salary as a bartender. , but it’s so easy to work in someone else’s bar. You manage a bar by yourself, it’s all a matter, and half of Bai Lu’s friend business before, now that she’s gone, her friends basically don’t come to the bar anymore , If you don’t make it right, you’ll really lose money!”

Tao Zi really listened to Tie Nan. After thinking about it, she said to me: "Forget it... I'd better find a bar and go to work with peace of mind."

I smiled helplessly and didn't try to persuade her, but I knew in my heart that there was actually another possibility about the bar "Women's Flower". It is many times better than when Bailu was running the business. It's just that Ye Zhi, a woman, doesn't like to promise too much to others, so Tao Zi doesn't realize this, and I can't make random promises for Ye Zhi. Good intentions can only be let go.

I turned to Tie Nan and said, "The matter of Taozi going to work in the bar is settled, how about you, what are you going to do in the future?"

Tie Nan replied without a clue: "I don't know." After thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe I will find a smaller inn and continue to do it... I only have a little experience in doing this, but I have money Not enough."

"Take it easy."

Tetsuo lit a cigarette, and after being silent for a while, he also asked me, "What have you been up to lately?"

I replied truthfully: "I have a chance to make money in my hand, but it hasn't been confirmed yet... I will find another opportunity to talk to you later."

Tie Nan glanced at me and asked, "Are you still thinking about Jiulongju?"

"That's right, but this matter is not as unreliable as you think... As long as I solve the difficulties I am currently encountering, half of the success in making money will be achieved."

The reason why I didn't fully tell Tie Nan about my plan is because there are still relatively large variables on Cao Jinbo's side.My character is that I am willing to share it when I feel confident, otherwise, if I die halfway, it will be meaningless to say it.

Just when Tie Nan wanted to ask a few questions out of curiosity, my cell phone that was charging finally rang, and the call was from Sun Jiwei.
