I was amazed that I could guess so accurately. Lin Ya is really not ordinary smart!
But thinking that she was on Ji Ze's side instead of mine today, I asked unhappily, "Do you know she's still on Ji Ze's side?"
"When did I take his side?"
"Then... Then isn't that standing on his side?" I was so anxious that I couldn't speak clearly.
"That's because..." The articulate Lin Ya didn't seem to know how to explain it either. Finally, he gestured with both hands and said forcefully, "Because we're closer, like... Family. And ji ze was like a friend, like a guest, so... You know. But no matter what, the person you care about the most, of course, has to be the last one to spend the longest time communicating with."
Lin Ya's words warmed my heart, and all the pent-up gloom in my heart disappeared.
After a while, lin ya thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Xing Yun, I know that no matter what you do, it's for my good. But you don't know Ji Ze. You can't think that you know him just because of my few words or my brief contact with Ji Ze. He's not a bad person. He's a very rational and mature person. He won't fight easily."
"Mature? Rational?" I sneered. The ji ze and lin ya I know don't sound like each other at all.
Lin Ya didn't argue with me. She nodded and said softly, "Well, in some ways, he's really like a child, especially... Childish."
I frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you still speaking for him?"
Lin Ya chuckled and said, "Okay, I know you don't like him. Stop talking about him. I told him that he wouldn't trouble you."
"Trouble me?" I said angrily, "If you want him to come, let him come."
"All right, all right. As long as you don't look for him, he will never come back to you." Lin Ya smiled at me fawningly.
In my heart, this is the best way. We should go our separate ways in the future.
Lin ya looked into my eyes, smiled and asked, "Now, are you all right?"
I shook my head.
Lin Ya said again, "Okay, didn't you eat anything just now? And now? Hungry? What would you like to eat?"
I shook my head and said, "I really have no appetite."
"Why don't you have an appetite?" Lin Ya glared and said, "I can't cook for you!"
"No, I drank some wine, and now I don't want to eat anything."
"All right then." Lin Ya pouted and said helplessly.
Finally, lin ya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's getting late. I should go too."
I nodded. It was really late.
Lin Ya gave me a blank look and said, "Open the door."
I just remembered that I was angry with Lin Ya and locked the door, so I quickly went to open the door and let Lin Ya out.
At this time, there were fewer people outside. I watched Lin Ya get into the car, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she lowered the window and asked me, "Are you really not going to talk about drinking?"
I was stunned. I didn't expect Lin Ya to remember this. I shook my head and replied, "It's really nothing."
Lin ya nodded and said nothing more. This was really one of her biggest strengths, and she was very understanding. I watched her car drive into the road before closing the restaurant door.
Lying on the bed, he could not help but take a long breath.
Today, things really happened a lot, but the result was not bad. After chatting with lin ya for a while, I felt less depressed and depressed. With my head half drunk and half awake, I easily fell asleep.
...
The next day, after getting up, the weather warmed up a little, which seemed to indicate that today was a good day. But winter had come, and now the air conditioning in the hotel was heating up.
The sun shone in the backyard, which became a particularly warm place, just like the cold and dark two worlds of yesterday.
Old Gao and I were sitting in the yard peeling garlic.
I casually talked to Old Gao, "Old Gao, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Old Gao did not raise his head, nor did he stop the movement in his hands. He was very skilled in peeling garlic.
"In the past, you lived a carefree life, and it was almost different from now. Can you get used to it? Are you used to it?" I have always been particularly worried that Old Gao would not be able to adapt to this life, not only on the surface, but also mentally.
Although we are now a small boss, in fact, it is more difficult than the staff, really tired! It's not like we can just sit back and collect the money. It's really hard at the beginning of the opening. We can save it. We can only sweat more.
Old Gao said calmly, "Actually, when I opened the pond, I was almost separated from my home. But as you know, there was still no concept of money at that time. Until my parents broke my money, but it was nothing compared to now. But I think it's good, really good. After so many things happened, I was lucky that I didn't get beaten down, but grew up a lot. I think I should be better adapted than many people, right?"
I nodded.
In the past, I could never believe what Old Gao would look like if he were not a rich second generation. In my memory, I'm afraid that Old Gao was just counting on his family to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life, never thinking that he would have another future.
And I thought before that it would be very difficult for Old Gao to get rid of some of his problems. After all, after living a rich life for more than 20 years and falling to the bottom, not everyone could accept it. After all, it still involved face and dignity.
"I think I'm in pretty good shape now, even better than when I was in the pond. It feels like... How to put it, it's like being reborn, living a completely different life than before." Old Gao seemed very optimistic, with a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing that he could really accept this life from his heart, I was relieved.
So, after this topic is over, I want to talk to him about another thing, the thing that he and Guzheng quarreled about yesterday.
I really don't understand what happened between Old Gao and Wang Mengmeng. He was able to say that I wanted to kill her.
So, after a moment of deliberation, I asked, "Old Gao, we've talked about this many times before, and I'd like to talk about it again today. What happened between you two?"
What made Old Gao like this?
When Old Gao heard what I said, he suddenly became silent, and his eyes were even more misty, making it impossible to see what was hidden in his deep eyes.
I wanted to help Old Gao, but he had to tell me everything so I could help him.
Old Gao's silence made my heart very depressed. I sighed and couldn't help thinking about what Hu Zi said before. Did Wang Mengmeng really lie to Old Gao?
I couldn't help but say, "Wang mengmeng lied to you, didn't she?"
Hearing what I said, Old Gao's body suddenly trembled and looked up at me with a surprised look in his eyes. But soon he lowered his head.
He didn't answer or say anything, just peeling the garlic, but I saw his hands shaking slightly.
From Old Gao's reaction, I have confirmed the possibility of Hu Zi's words. Is that true?
If that was the case, no wonder Old Gao was injured like this.
After peeling the garlic, Old Gao lit a cigarette in the backyard and smoked. I sent the garlic into the back kitchen.
Xiaolian was wiping the table in the hall. Hu Zi didn't know what to say to her, which made Xiaolian laugh a lot. I thought about how I spoke to xiaolian last night. I walked up to the two of them and said to xiaolian, "Xiaolian, I'm sorry. I had a bad attitude when I talked to you yesterday. I apologize to you."
Xiaolian, however, was a little confused and could not remember, "When did it happen?"
"It was last night. You told me Old Gao was upstairs, and I panicked."
"You said that." Xiaolian said nonchalantly, "I don't even remember if you don't tell me."
After that, Xiaolian smiled again and said to me, "Xing Yun, do you think this is a bad attitude? Have you ever seen someone with a bad attitude?" Xiaolian's expression was exaggerated, and he deliberately said in a sharp tone, "What's the situation? I can't even serve the last dish. What did you eat? Did you get shit in your head? Get out of here if you can't do it! Still crying? Do you have the nerve to cry? If you feel wronged, go home. If you really don't want to do it, just take your luggage and leave."
Hu Zi and Xiaoyi laughed as they spoke.
We all smiled, but I saw the sadness behind Xiaolian's smile. I don't think this is a fake joke. It could really happen to someone. It could be someone else. It could be Xiaolian himself.
I said to Xiaolian, "Don't worry, this won't happen to our Xingyun hotel!"
Xiaolian also smiled and said, "I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have apologized to me just now. You scared me!"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes. Xiaoyi and I have been working at the Xingyun hotel for so many days. We already know that you are different from the owners of other restaurants."
Hu Zi asked, "What's the difference? Don't they have one nose and two eyes?"
Xiaolian smiled and said, "At least the owners of other restaurants won't be so busy all day. Look at you, it's harder than our waiters."
Hu Zi said with a sad face, "We're not as rich as the other bosses!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
...
In fact, even if we were tired every day and didn't have that much money on us, I really had a good time this time. Every day, I had a brother beside me who could talk nonsense, swear at me, and laugh without any disguise. That was from the bottom of my heart. It was simple and contented.
Many years later, when I thought about the initial days of Xingyun hotel's opening, I could not help but smile and feel warm all over, as if a beam of light was shining through the clouds on my face.
