Chapter 17 Olive Branch

After returning home, perhaps because home is everyone's warm haven, I can still sleep even in the mood of a breakup. If I were still in City A, I would definitely need to use alcohol to numb myself.

Sleep peacefully.

The National Day is coming quietly, and the whole country is on holiday, including my parents. Early in the morning, our family of three came to watch the military parade together in front of the TV.

Mom is okay, but Lao Zhou, over the years, he has always impressed me as a patriot from the bottom of his heart, both in words and actions.

I still remember when I was in high school, I had a drink and chatted with Lao Zhou. At that time, he himself said that the biggest regret in his life was not to become a soldier, to become a soldier of the people and to contribute to the motherland.

The scene in front of me is very similar to the three of us watching TV together when I was a child. But as I grew up, I went to college in other places, and then stayed in city A to work. In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

, my parents have grown old slowly, and I have been being severely beaten by society.

After returning home, I felt a lot of emotions. For a moment, I was thinking: When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up so much. Looking back, it was a very stupid thing. What made me even more ashamed was that growing up

After that, my parents still had to work so hard, and I failed to protect my parents from wind and rain, and even brought ups and downs. Then... what is the "meaning" of growing up like this?



Time flies, and it has been a week since I came home on September 28th. During this week, I went to the yard to water the flowers and plants, and occasionally talked with Lao Zhou and my mother.

Talking about daily life, the yard has been turned into a "botanical garden" by Lao Zhou now, full of flowers and plants, some of which I don't recognize at all, but I only know that I am very friendly to them.

Of course, I can only be "friendly" to them, as a psychiatrist said: If one day you talk to flowers and plants, then you will be fine, but if one day you find that flowers and plants will respond to you,

That's when there's really a problem.

Today is the 5th, and the National Day is about to end. Workers will soon start to return to work one after another, and where should I, an unemployed vagrant, go? Should I stay in my hometown, City Q, to develop, or should I return to City A to continue?

Fight until there is a result?

In the evening, I was sitting in the yard, looking at the pot of cloud bamboo, and at this moment, my cell phone, which had been quiet for several days in my pocket, suddenly rang. At first glance, I didn't expect it was Rosa calling me.

phone number.

"Master Zhou, today is the last day of Fanxing's National Day activities. Would you like to come over for a drink tonight?" Rosa's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

I smiled and replied: "I have already gone back to my hometown on the 28th, so I can't go. If there is another chance in the future, I will go over and find you again."

"Ah? Why is it so sudden? I really didn't expect you to go home. But from what you said, it seems like you don't even plan to come back to AA City?"

I sighed first, and then told Rosa about what happened to me some time ago, including what happened when I went to the airport to save Shen Yue. After all, Rosa has been my good friend for many years.

It doesn't matter if you tell her this.

Now it was Rosa's turn to sigh, and she asked me a question: "Dong Li, you said that you and Shen Yue have been together for so long, and they are just a little bit close to getting married, but you didn't expect it.

You have finally reached this point, how sad you are. Some people say that there are two antidotes for getting over a failed relationship, Chinese medicine is 'time', and Western medicine is 'new love'. So...are you going to take Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"

I was amused by Rosa's last words, "You're mentally ill, what kind of Chinese and Western medicine? I'm so good, what kind of medicine should I take?"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I called you today. I originally wanted to ask you to come to Fanxing tonight to talk about it, but now it seems that there is no way to meet and chat, so I will have a long talk with you on the phone.

Well. It’s like this. The boss of Fanxing is a woman, but she has found a husband who is rich and loves her. She is planning to immigrate abroad, so I intend to transfer Fanxing. I have saved some money over the years, and I have the intention to do so.

What do you think about trying to capture the stars?"

I pondered for a while, and I was shocked. I didn't expect that Rosa, a bartender, had saved her money in City A, and now she had the confidence to take over a music restaurant and bar as big as Fanxing.

"Are you asking me? Sister, you know my financial situation. If you ask me to borrow money, then I definitely can't help you."

"You are stupid. Although I do still have a little money, if I look for someone to borrow money, it will definitely not be from you. I asked you for your opinion because I want you to help me run the Star Music Restaurant, because you are in the business

As an advertising planner, you will definitely be much better than me in doing those marketing activities."

I lit a cigarette, thought for about ten seconds, and replied: "Let me think about it. In the near future, I probably won't be going back to City A so soon. Just think of it as going back to my hometown to relax. If you

If you ask me for an advertising planning project, I will do my best."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Rosa hung up the phone, and I continued to smoke. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Yes, those people who came out to work in society at the same time as me basically started to find a place, but I was the only one.

, I still want nothing, life is tight.

Just as I was smoking and thinking about things, my phone rang again. I picked it up and saw that this time it was a WeChat message from Ning Bingrou.

"Are you in the apartment? My key card is missing. If you are there, I would like to go to the apartment in the evening and pack my things."

I looked at the chat interface and found that she had not confiscated the money I had transferred to her the week before, and she had not sent me a message until now.

I typed a reply: "No, I'm back to my hometown. Are you anxious? If you are, I will send you a courier tonight and you can receive the key card tomorrow."

"Don't worry, since you've returned to your hometown, I'll wait until you come back to City A before I open the door for you."

Ning Bingrou's reply made me hesitate. I pondered for a while before typing a truthful reply to her: "Well, I'd better send you the key card by courier tonight, because I don't know if I can get it back."

As for the things I left in the apartment, I can ask my buddies to help take them away, or... I don’t have to."

This time it was Ning Bingrou's turn who hadn't replied to me for a long time. When I was about to go back to the house to prepare dinner, she replied to my message.

"Why did you make such a sudden decision? In my opinion, City A is more suitable for your development. The cocktail party planning project you did last time actually attracted my attention. Didn't you leave the original company later? What if?
