When Guzheng walked me out, I asked Guzheng curiously, "What's the relationship between your family and Di Ming?"
"My dad's old friend."
I think so. As soon as something happened to Guzheng's father, Di Ming came over. It should be a good relationship.
"What does he do? It looks like he has a lot of money."
"Not very rich!" Guzheng looked at me with bright eyes and a long voice, "It's super rich!"
Guzheng's family conditions were already quite good. The super rich she was talking about was definitely super rich.
"Really? What does he do?"
"I've done everything. Real estate, lifting, investment, clothing, movies, and so on. Lots and lots."
"Damn it! How rich would that be?" I took a breath of air in shock. It was so messy. Could he be busy?
"Let's put it this way." Guzheng gestured and said, "My dad has a company, which is quite enough, but compared to Di Ming, my dad owns a small country, and Di uncle owns a super empire."
"Is it that exaggerated?" I smiled. I didn't see it at all. How many figures does it cost? But from the luxury car he drove last time, it was clear that he was not short of money.
"No exaggeration at all!" Guzheng added, "It's just that we divorced a few years ago and are still single."
"If you're single, you're a diamond bachelor!" A man like that must not be robbed mad by a woman.
I was a little emotional, I didn't expect to know such a powerful person one day.
Guzheng smiled and said, "How about the diamond?"
I laughed and couldn't help but tell Guzheng my worries. "Guzheng..."
For a moment, I didn't know what to say to Guzheng. Guzheng looked at me gently and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I... It's not that I don't want to keep our agreement, but I feel like things are getting out of hand. Do you feel that way?"
Guzheng's eyes were filled with complicated light. She was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "I know."
"Then what should we do? We have to think of a way to deal with it."
Guzheng's expression was a little distressed, as if there was nothing she could do. In the end, she said, "I think you will come to our house less often in the future."
I smiled bitterly, and with the halo of' Guzheng's boyfriend', there would be a lot of helplessness.
"Okay."
...
When I got out of the neighborhood, I went back in the car.
On the way, he could not help but sigh. Although many people had never heard of such a small city as Pucheng, it was definitely a crouching tiger hiding a dragon!
There's no shortage of super rich people like Di Ming. Every day when he's lying there, there's a lot of money falling from the sky. Of course, there's no shortage of people who live at the bottom of the earth and work every day. Taxi drivers, cleaners, office workers...
Of course, I won't be jealous or hate the rich. Because I knew that behind Di Ming and Guzheng's father's seemingly glorious background, there must be unknown hardships, and their achievements today were earned by their hard work.
I can't just see their glory today, I should learn their spirit of suffering.
The next day, it was the sixth day of the first month. On this day, many shops opened their doors and heard the crackling of firecrackers from the early morning. This also announced that our lives had returned to normal again. Some of the workers had even begun to come to the station to take a bus. Some people, it was really difficult to stay at home for a few days a year, but there was no way. For the sake of life, we could only pretend not to be tired and go to the station. Walking forward.
In our hotel, the whole staff gathered again.
Hu Zi, Old Gao, Shi Yuan, Jiang Yan, cousin, Xiaoyi, Xiaolian, me, eight of us, eight of us gathered for a drink tonight to reward everyone for their hard work. Naturally, we hope to continue working hard this year.
In the morning, we did a thorough cleaning of the restaurant and readjusted the seating. Although there were no changes, it still looked like a new look.
Looking at this small Xingyun hotel, I was in a daze for a moment. In the past, I never thought that I would open such a restaurant with Old Tiger one day, but now, unknowingly, the restaurant has passed a few months.
...
That night, two particularly important people came to the restaurant.
One of them, I was very surprised.
It's Guzheng's father!
I didn't expect him to come.
Guzheng's father's friend, Di Ming, came with him.
I really didn't expect that the two of them would come to the Xingyun hotel together. Two such heavyweight figures instantly made our restaurant proud.
I quickly walked over and asked excitedly, "Uncle, Di uncle, why are you here?"
"Why, are you not welcome?" Di Ming joked.
"How is that possible!" I smiled and said, "Go upstairs and sit down."
"I won't sit down, Xing Yun," Guzheng's father looked at me, and I listened respectfully, "Actually, I came here to say something to you!"
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a little nervous.
What does Guzheng's father want to say to me?
Di Ming patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother gu is here to talk to you. I am here to drink with you. Today, whether you are busy or not, we must drink this wine!"
With that said, Di Ming raised the wine in his hand. It seems that he still remembers the bottle we agreed on! I didn't see what that bottle of wine was, and I hadn't seen it before, but the packaging was pretty high, and the wine that a rich man like Di Ming took probably wouldn't be bad.
I looked at Di Ming and said, "Okay, Di uncle."
If di ming thinks so highly of me, I will definitely accompany him to the end.
"I'll go up first. You two can talk." Di Ming went upstairs alone.
Then I said to Guzheng's father, "Uncle, let's go to the back. It's quiet in the back."
"Sure."
I led the way, and Guzheng's father followed me into the backyard.
"How long has the restaurant been open?" Asked Guzheng's father.
"It's been more than three months."
"Yeah, it's pretty good."
I wanted to talk to Guzheng's father in the house, but Guzheng's father stood in the backyard and said, "Just stay here. Stay at home for a few days. Get some air outside."
So I moved two benches and said to Guzheng's father, "Uncle, I'll get you a glass of water."
"No, sit down. Di Ming is still waiting for you up there. I'll leave after a few words." Guzheng's father sat down.
After seeing Guzheng's father a few times, I wasn't nervous anymore. However, I was still a little nervous when we sat together today. I didn't expect to talk to Guzheng's father alone.
Guzheng's father looked at the backyard and said, "Looking at your restaurant, I remember when I started my business. We were much more miserable than you were then. I ran around all over the world by myself and started from scratch. Today, it's almost thirty years."
Guzheng's father's words were full of sighs!
Thirty years, there can be a few thirty years in life. Although he did not mention the hardships and hardships of starting a business, but a sentence of thirty years made me realize that kind of deep difficulty.
Guzheng's father smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. We can have a good talk when we have time. This time, I have something to tell you!"
"What's the matter, uncle? Say it." I asked.
Guzheng's father was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at me and smiled. Then he said, "Xing Yun, you're not a fool. I think you should know what I'm going to tell you today."
I suddenly found it difficult to deal with Guzheng's father today, especially when they were talking alone. I think Guzheng's father might still want to talk to me about his company.
I scratched my head, not to mention that my relationship with Guzheng was fake. Even if our relationship was real, I especially didn't want to go to Guzheng's father's company.
Yes, with Guzheng's family background, a man could really work 20 years less. If Guzheng had a real boyfriend, then 80 % of him would covet Guzheng's father's company.
"Now, you and Guzheng have known each other for a long time, and we must have known each other very well. Today, I have also shamed myself to say a few more words to you, and you are not young anymore. I hope you two can take the marriage off earlier, so that Guzheng and I will be at peace with her mother."
Speaking of this, Guzheng's father smiled again and said to himself, "It feels like no one wants our girl!"
I panicked and quickly said, "Uncle, how can Guzheng be unwanted? She's such a good girl. How many people have to wait in line to catch up."
But looking at Guzheng's father's expectant eyes, I didn't dare to look at him, so I had to say, "Uncle, it's not that we don't want to order, it's just that Guzheng said she wanted to wait. Maybe she wanted to see my performance again. After all, we haven't talked for long."
For now, I have no choice but to say so.
"Hey, this girl still loves to play." Guzheng's father sighed and said, "That's why I came to see you." Guzheng's father's mouth was a little bitter and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for my health, I wouldn't be so anxious."
"Uncle, you're still so young. You should pay more attention to your health. It's okay."
Guzheng's father shook his head and said, "I know my body. I won't be able to hold on for long, so I can talk to you today."
I was taken aback by what Guzheng's father said. He seemed to mean that he would not live long, but I don't think Guzheng's father is in any serious trouble.
I smiled stiffly, not knowing what to say.
"To be honest, Xing Yun, I admire you. I'm very relieved to give you Guzheng. Guzheng has been spoiled by us since he was a child. There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked us to have only one daughter?" At the mention of Guzheng, Guzheng's father's face showed some kindness. Then he looked at me and said seriously, "You two are together. I hope you can give her more and tolerate him more."
Hearing Guzheng's father's words, I suddenly felt a heavy burden on me, and I made up my mind. Even if Guzheng and I have no fate in this life, we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, but if Guzheng is in trouble in the future, I will do my best to help her.
So I solemnly and sincerely said to Guzheng's father, "Uncle, don't worry, I will protect Guzheng!"
