Chapter 124: Leaving is the starting point
On October 1st, what happened was so sudden. Li Wei, I never thought that I would meet him for the last time in this way. I was a living person who was gone, and even if I didn't give us a little more time.
Li Wendong and I finished dealing with the funeral together. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. A ringtone rang, which made me, who was originally lost and depressed, come back to my senses. I picked up my phone and saw that it was Ning Bingrou who called me.
Ning Bingrou spoke in a very light tone: "Dear, what are you doing? Why don't you ignore me all day today and never reply to send you a message."
I was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "I'm in the hospital."
When Ning Bingrou heard this, she became nervous immediately, "In the hospital? What happened? Are you injured?"
"No, it's not me." I walked to the other side with my cell phone so that Li Wendong would not have any effect on his mood even more. "I, Li Wei, this afternoon..."
I told Ning Bingrou a long story about Li Wei today. On the phone, I heard her voice even more swallowed. I also said that I would come to the hospital to find us immediately, but I refused. It was not appropriate for Ning Bingrou to come at this time, and that would only make Li Wendong feel even worse. So I proposed to wait until Li Wei’s funeral is handled and let her come and say goodbye to the funeral.
Ning Bingrou finally agreed to me and told me to accompany Li Wendong more. After hanging up the phone, I drove away from the hospital with Li Wendong. The direction I went back was my rental house.
On the way, Li Wendong, who had been silent, probably recognized that the road now was the direction of the city. He said, "Brother, I don't want to go anywhere else, I want to go home."
I slowed down the car, and after a moment of silence, I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go home."
...
I felt very uncomfortable when something happened during the National Day holiday. Li Wei's funeral was left to me to deal with. The only ones who sent him to the funeral were Ning Bingrou, and none of the others... came to see him off. This was really heartbreaking for an elder who had passed away.
On October 8th, Li Wendong kept a guard for Li Wei for seven days. This time, I found that he had grown a lot. Because he had to stay in school where he went to school, and the school was also in the city, he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask me this time and didn't want to go back to his so-called dilapidated "home" because Li Wei was gone. There were all memories of hurt for him.
I took Li Wendong to clean up the things in the house. Under the pillow on the bed, there was indeed the villa land deed that Li Wei mentioned. From then on, this area belonged to me, but I was not happy. I just took the land deed and didn't open it to take a closer look. If possible, I would rather Li Wei still be alive.
After I brought Li Wendong to my rental house, I lived in a living room with one bedroom and one living room. The place was still too small. It seems that after finishing all the work, I have to rent another place with a larger location and a better environment. Li Wendong will still come back during the holidays.
Li Wendong will go back to school tomorrow and have been taking a day off. After dinner, I will take him back to school. But this kid... from that day on, he has been basically taciturn.
While eating, I took out the deed of the villa from the drawer and put it on the table. Looking at Li Wendong who lowered his head and ate silently, he said, "Wendong, I will keep this deed for you for the time being. When you grow up in the future, the villa will still belong to you."
At this point, Li Wendong finally raised his head and looked at me. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I don't want it. That's grandfather's last wish. He said it was left to you, and that's yours."
He was silent for a while, his eyes were red, and he said even more, "Brother, you will be my brother from now on, I will be my only relative in this world. You will not leave me, right?"
Li Wendong is just a child in the first grade of junior high school, but he encountered such an unfortunate experience at a young age.
My nose was sore, and I put down the dishes and walked to his side, touched his head, and let him lean in my arms, "Yes, I won't leave you, silly boy, I won't let you scream in vain. If you have a brother, you will definitely have your younger brother. Don't worry, after dinner, go back to school to go to school. This... is also my grandfather's last wish, do you know?"
"I, I know, I will study hard."
Li Wendong gritted his teeth tightly, tears fell on his cheeks, but he didn't cry anymore. I knew that he was no longer the innocent and innocent boy who used to be pestering me and asked me to teach him how to play water. His parents left him since childhood, and the only relative who accompanied him was his grandfather. Unexpectedly, he left this year when he was in the first year of junior high school. He was really a very pitiful child.
The trauma in the mind is the most difficult to heal.
After dinner, I drove Li Wendong back to school. The new week has arrived and he needs food expenses. I asked him how much food expenses his grandfather gave him every week. According to the previous standard, it was 300 yuan per week. Now it is the stage of growing up, so I gave him 400 yuan.
In fact, this is quite difficult to calculate. I still remember when I went to school myself, the food cost was only about a hundred yuan every week, and the age was different.
The next day, when I was at work in the morning, I drove to Zhao Hu's house, handed the keys to my sister-in-law, and then took the car to Yunhu Wine Industry by myself.
According to Zhao Long and others, today is the last day I work in the company. Everything that happened during this National Day holiday was too sudden.
After I arrived at the company, I finished giving the company all and signed the resignation letter. When I was about to leave, my colleague at the front desk stopped me and said that Zhao Hu was waiting for me in the office and asked me to go there.
When he arrived at Zhao Hu's office, he happily opened the door for me and signaled me to sit down, "I heard from my wife in the morning that you returned the car, right? How about it? Don't hurry to leave, right? Do you want to have a few cups of tea with me before leaving?"
"Yes, I've given the keys to the car to my sister-in-law. Brother Hu, thank you for lending me the car, but... the car didn't receive the person I should pick up."
These days, Zhao Hu and the others also knew that I had dealt with Li Wei's affairs. He looked regretful and comforted him: "No one will know which one of the accidents or tomorrow will come first."
Zhao Hu was silent for a while, and he signaled me to have tea, and then continued: "That little boy, you will be under great financial pressure in the future. I have already told the finance department just now that you will get all your salary for the two months in Tiantu Trading and Yunhu Wine Industry. You will be on your card within today, and there will be another 10,000 yuan. Just treat it as our three big brothers and give the little boy the condolences."
"This, Brother Hu, we didn't agree..."
Zhao Hu raised his hand and signaled me not to interrupt him first, and continued, "That little boy, he and my Duoduo came from the same class. I didn't know until yesterday, but I never remembered what his name was. Dongli, the future path depends on you. Before leaving, our three big brothers will give you a gift at the end..."
He stood up and took out two contracts and handed them to me. I took the contract from Zhao Hu for no reason. At first glance, it was two supply contracts, and they were both long-term!
Zhao Hu explained: "The Yuzun brand has gone out from us. Now... it is equivalent to another brother company. Tiantu Trading, Luosheng Wine Industry and Yunhu Wine Industry will supply you in the future and be your brand supplier. You can take this first batch of goods first, and then slowly pay for the goods after you sell them. You kid, don't let us down!"
I was filled with emotion, holding two contracts tightly in my hand, "Brother Hu... Thank you! You three have really helped me too much!"
Zhao Hu smiled "haha" and waved his hand, "Why do you think of these words by your family? This is what you deserve. You know, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how to sell those goods. To be more blunt, the money and reputation you earned for our three companies had long exceeded the value of these things, so you can accept them with peace of mind!"
I nodded and accepted the contract that Zhao Hu gave me. After a moment, he looked at me and asked again: "Are you going to set up a company soon? Have you selected your office address?"
"Well, I've chosen it. I've visited it a few days ago."
Actually, I haven't chosen it at all, and I haven't visited the office building much, but I'm worried that if I tell the truth, he will help me again. They have helped me too much.
"That's good, okay, we two use tea instead of wine. I wish you... success and everything goes well!"
"Thank you, Brother Hu, let's succeed together!"
After leaving Zhao Hu's office, I walked out of the company. I did not go back to rent the house immediately, but planned to solve the problem of the house first, so I started to find a new house to rent and live with Wendong in the future. Now this place must be moved out as soon as possible.
