I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 443
The rain dripped from the eaves, and then shattered under my feet. Not only my shoes and trousers were wet, but also the screen of my mobile phone... I wiped the screen, stopped squatting, and stood up for a moment and went northeast looked in the direction.

It is impossible for my eyes to pass through more than 2000 kilometers, but I know that in that direction, there is Yang Sisi and the city where she is.

So far, will she really come?

Even if you come, can you continue this impulsive feeling after a tiring journey?
So, I chose to deal with it calmly, and I asked her in the message: "Didn't you say that you will go abroad with your dad recently? You have come to Dali, so this matter is over?"

"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to go to Dali."

I leaned my back against the wall, lit a cigarette for myself under the dim light, and then faced the pattering rain, lost my mind for a while...

After a while, the dog barked again at my feet, probably not full yet.

So, I threw the half of the unfinished chicken drumstick in my hand to it. When it became quiet, the world also stopped, and I could almost hear my own breathing, sometimes evenly and sometimes quickly.

After a long time, I finally picked up my mobile phone and took a picture of the raining world outside the eaves; then, I sent this photo to Yang Sisi, and I told her: Dali is also raining, and it may be more raining than Shanghai.

She asked me, "Don't you want me to go?"

"Come here if you want... I just want to tell you that after seeing some things, they may not be as beautiful as you imagined."

"Are you a thing?"

"I didn't talk about myself, I was talking about Dali; you said you wanted to come to Dali and didn't like the rainy Shanghai, but the rain in Dali is heavier than that in Shanghai... If you can't see it, I can tell you."

"The rain in Dali is sweet, but the rain in Shanghai is salty... just like when a person cries, when he is sad, his tears are salty, but when he is happy, his tears are sweet."

After a while, she sent another message: "If you understand, I'll go; if you don't understand, or pretend you don't understand, then forget it."

Looking at this message, I inexplicably thought of Yang Sisi smiling and crying, and a warm feeling surged up in my heart. This warm feeling was my motivation, so I replied, "I understand."

"Well, now I can still book a ticket to Dali at a quarter past three at night, just wait for me."

"Well, I'll pick you up at the airport."

Yang Sisi replied with a bunch of smiling faces, and then I unconsciously pictured her messily packing her luggage in my mind.

I looked at the time, it is now 12:6 at night, we need about [-] hours to meet each other; if the rain stops by that time, we can just see the sunrise on the way back to the ancient city.

……

Taking advantage of the lightening of the rain, I left the stray dog ​​who had become dependent on me, and went back to the small yard I shared with Nicole alone. Nicole was still awake, she was sitting in the study and counting the bills of the bar. accounts.

Without looking up, she pressed the calculator and asked me, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

"It rained heavily just now, so I hid outside for a while."

"Then why don't you call me? I'll pick you up."

"It's so late, I don't know if you slept or not."

Nicole finally raised her head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Those who run the bar, how many can go to bed early!...Stop standing at the door, come in and talk to you."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I want to sleep."

"It scares you, I don't talk to you about emotional matters..."

After a short pause, Nicole said again: "You have left the bar to me for so long, and it's time to give you a dividend."

"If you have money, then I'm willing to endure it for a while before going to bed."

"Looking dead!"

Amidst Nicole's scolding, I laughed and walked into the study.

……

I sat down on the chair opposite Nicole, and after she had been busy for a while, she was finally relieved and said to me: "The business of the bar has been good recently, and it has made a net profit of 4000 yuan this week, an average of [-] yuan a day." .”

I gave Nicole a thumbs up, and then replied: "It's not easy to be honest, and Bai Lu couldn't earn so much when she was running Women's Flower!"

"It's different. I'm a singer myself, and I'm good at creating a bar atmosphere. Bai Lu usually has a lot of social interactions, so she will inevitably be distracted, but she is already very good, and she has laid a very good foundation for me. Otherwise, There will be no results today!"

I nodded. For a small-scale bar, it is actually not easy to make a net profit of [-] a day.

Nicole said to me again: "When I had dinner with Ye Zhi before, I settled her share and gave her a total of 20 yuan... You have 9000 yuan, and Cao Xue has more than 16 yuan. Point, I took 8 for myself... This is all the achievements of our bar in one year and nine months!"

I calculated it in my mind, and then replied: "It's equivalent to earning more than 60 yuan in two years... For a bar of this size, it's not bad."

Nicole nodded and smiled.

I said again: "But for you personally, it's still a bit too little... We all have other things to do, but you spend all your energy on this bar. In fact, according to your conditions, even if you only sing in the bar, Run a few more venues, after such a long time, you can earn 30 to [-]!"

"It's not the same. It's working for others, but it's my own business, and the bar's business will get better and better. As long as I stick to it, I won't earn less in the future!"

"That's what I said, but I still want to share my opinion... We lost money in the branch of Jiulongju, but we must do it again, because there are too many shareholders, relying on this store alone, you are under too much pressure It’s big, and we get too little... So, can we consider opening another branch in Lijiang?... For the money, you can just pay a symbolic amount. Still the largest shareholder."

"I took advantage too much!"

I immediately rejected Nicole's idea: "It's not about taking advantage. For us, having a partner like you is the greatest luck... Think about it, it's unreliable for brothers to cooperate in business now. In the end, there are a lot of troubles... But you can manage the bar so well for us, and you actually get a dividend, which is really rare! Your real value does not lie in how much money you invested, but It is your management ability, this is the most precious resource... So, I will be the first to support you as the largest shareholder!"

Nicole smiled and replied: "If everyone else agrees with your point of view, then I will continue to take on this important task."

"Okay, I'll talk to Cao Xue tomorrow, and besides..."

I lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said in a low voice: "Also, I suggest doing a valuation of the bar, and then return Ye Zhi's shares as cash to her, so that she can withdraw from this bar. "

Nicole looked at me incredulously, and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"First, there are too many shareholders; second, she doesn't care about such a small dividend; third, I don't want to have such a relationship with her... If she doesn't quit, I will."

"You can't do that, can you?"

"As for this matter, I have wanted to communicate with you earlier... I hope you can support my idea."

Nicole stared at me, and replied after a long while: "Aside from the personal grievances between you, this matter is a bit dishonest... This bar was bought by Ye Zhi at the beginning, and she was originally the biggest. Shareholders, in the middle, transferred a few points to me for free, making me the largest shareholder, and now that I have made money, it is too impersonal to drive people away by raising your hand?"

"Stop talking, this is my decision."

"Do we have to make such a choice?"

"If she doesn't agree to withdraw the shares, then I will withdraw... This is a multiple choice question."

Nicole sighed, and replied after a long while: "I definitely want to keep you, but you have to tell her yourself that I really can't do such a thing... I have always regarded her as a friend, and I am very grateful that she bought it in the first place." Only when I got off the Women's Flower Bar, I had the opportunity to choose to change my life."

"Okay, I'll find a chance to tell her...be sure to settle this matter before going to Lijiang to open a branch."

"Go ahead, I won't say a word about this anyway, it feels a bit too hurtful... Yes, she doesn't care about such a small dividend, but have you ever thought about why she bought it in the first place?" Get off this bar?"

"I don't think about things that don't make sense."

"It's scary for a man to be heartless!"

"Is this unfeeling?"

Nicole was a little upset. She changed the subject and said, "I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. You can implement your own ideas... Tell me, should this dividend be transferred to your card or transferred to you via WeChat?"

"WeChat, there is no money on WeChat."

……

After chatting with Nicole about the dividend, I went back to the room and lay on the bed, wanting to sleep for a while, and then went to the airport to pick up Yang Sisi, but I fell asleep for no reason.

After tossing and turning for a while, it was already five o'clock in the morning. After washing my face quickly, I drove the Jimny brought back by the fish head to the airport.

Dali's airport is really too small, so I ran into acquaintances again.

After I parked the car, I saw Ye Zhi get off from a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, her assistant helped her carry the suitcase, and she herself stood where she was, without turning her eyes.

I swear, even though I knew she was going back to Shanghai today, I never deliberately wanted to see her, let alone that she would leave so early; and this airport is amazing... This is the first time I came to pick up Yang Sisi in my memory , but met Ye Zhi who didn't want me to see her off, but often asked me to pick her up; and Yang Sisi was the complete opposite, she always liked to let me see her off, but wouldn't let me pick her up.

But at this moment, everything is reversed!
