Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 117
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Just because we are in the mountains, the surroundings look a bit foggy. When the sunlight scatters a golden glow in it, it has a special flavor.
Dong Wong took a group of people who liked mountain climbing to the back of the town to climb the mountain. Those who didn't want to go stayed and slept in, waiting for the bus to pick them up at noon.
As a result, before noon, the group of people who went hiking came back. Everyone was so angry that they didn't even see any temple hair.
The most annoying thing is that although the mountain behind seems not high, there is really no road. Everyone is walking deeper and shallower, and in the end they almost can't find the way back.
"I will never come to this place again!"
John Qin was delighted after hearing this: "We might as well not even do team building from now on, it's just wasting work time!"
"Boss, your feet are lame, but you still have the heart to joke?" Dong Wong didn't understand.
"Will my foot pain affect my ability to speak? Get out of here."
Susan also looked over with a strange look on his face: "Boss, you didn't even go up the mountain with us, why are you still lame?"
John Qin said calmly: "Arthritis is an old problem. Okay, okay, stop beeping. The bus is coming. Quickly count the number of people and get on the bus!"
"We have enough people, boss."
"Okay, then let's go home."
John Qin watched all the members of 208 get into the car, and then returned to the farmhouse yard to drive the Audi. A small wound on his foot did not affect the braking and accelerator, so just drive slower on the road.
At this time, Nancy Feng was standing in the yard, looking thoughtfully at his rolled up trouser legs and the same wound as her own, with a cute and confused expression.
"John Qin, what's wrong with your foot?"
"I fell down while going to the toilet and hit the ground ankle first."
"I don't quite believe it."
John Qin drove the car and grinned, saying to himself that I don't care whether you believe it or not, but you have no evidence anyway.
Returning to Linda, the excitement of team building soon passed, and everyone in 208 devoted themselves to science and technology promotion activities.
In addition to taking classes, John Qin has also been traveling back and forth between Linda and the University of Science and Technology.
Several groups of people changed in his back seat, sometimes it was Lana Wei and Tina Tan who were investigating market information, sometimes it was Dong Wong and Felix Lu who were interviewing content creators at the Science and Technology University.
Of course, more often than not it's him.
Because they met so often, Guo Zihang even had the illusion that he and John Qin were in the same university.
You could see him after class, you could see him while having a meal. Even when John Qin was idle and bored, he followed Guo Zihang to two classes, but he fell asleep within three minutes.
Perhaps because of his special charm, John Qin was even chased for his QQ number by several girls on Guo Zi's flight.
"Father, you seem to have really become a male god." Guo Zihang was a little envious.
John Qin pursed his lips with a look of disdain: "What's the use of a male god? What I want to become the most is a rich man."
"You can buy everyone in our class a cup of milk tea, and someone will definitely call you a rich man, believe it or not?"
"Then it's called the Great Resentful One, no, it's called Qin Zi'ang!"
Guo Zihang expressed his deep affirmation of the second half: "It makes sense!"
John Qin suddenly remembered what happened before the team building: "By the way, how are you and your senior Cui doing?"
"I don't know why, but she ignored me."
"Haha, it's good to ignore you. Go back to find your little aunt. Older people know how to care for others."
...
After class, John Qin came to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, sat on a bench and looked at the milk tea shop opposite, looking a little irritable.
Many people have asked about the price of Encounter Milk Tea Shop, but everyone finds it difficult to accept the 30% premium above the market price.
Therefore, there are many people who want to take over, but no one who really dares to take action.
They were all waiting, trying to wait for Gao Dawei to calm down and be more open-minded, because everyone could feel that Gao Dawei was asking for high prices just because his mentality was ruined after the divorce.
But he can't keep this mentality forever, and he will regain his composure one day.
However, John Qin didn't want to wait.
The promotion plan is coming soon, and he cannot limit himself just because of the location of a milk tea shop.
It didn't matter before the team building, but after the team building, everyone was ready to promote it and was about to have a big fight. If this continues, all the enthusiasm will be exhausted.
So on Wednesday afternoon, John Qin came to Linchuan University of Science and Technology again and picked up Lana Wei, who was here to inspect the surrounding shops.
"Boss, I have found five shops. I have to say that Encounter is the most suitable location for our later promotion. It is not as crowded as the front. There are enough activity areas and queuing space, and there are three milk tea shops around it. Advertisement The effect is obvious when compared."
John Qin nodded after listening, and was also inclined to try to meet the milk tea shop: "Have you sorted out the phone content I asked you to sort out?"
"Well, it's all sorted and I'm taking it with me."
John Qin reached out and closed the car window: "Read it to me again."
Lana Wei took out a table: "Gao Dawei, 43 years old this year, has been working hard in Sichuan since he was 18 years old. After that, he took out a loan to buy a house and paid off the loan 5 years ago. When he was 38 years old, he was introduced by a matchmaker and got married. A woman I met on a blind date had constant quarrels for three years, and finally got divorced and had no children."
John Qin frowned: "Damn, why is this character so familiar? Is there anything else?"
"He said that he no longer wants to work in a milk tea shop. He just wants to take one-half of all his wealth in life, take his parents with him, and go on a trip. However, he did not dare to tell his family about the divorce for fear that his parents would be hit."
"Where's your mentality?"
"I feel like a failure and have nightmares every day." After Lana Wei finished reading, he put down the watch in his hand.
Divorce, mental collapse, despair about life, huge pressure.
John Qin nodded, reached out and took off the sun visor, opened the small mirror and looked into his eyes: "At thirty-eight, I have accomplished nothing. I dare not face my parents. I dare not face the future. At thirty-eight, I have accomplished nothing and I dare not face it. Parents, dare not face the future..."
Lana Wei was a little confused. Just when he was about to speak, he saw his boss's face suddenly became particularly depressed.
Then, John Qin took the transfer contract that had been printed in advance, opened the car door, took out two bottles of wine, a bag of soy pork, and a bag of peanuts from the trunk, put them into a cloth bag, and stepped into the milk tea shop.
Gao Dawei now complains to everyone, one after another, and his tone is extremely irritable. Very few people can chat with him for more than three sentences, but he still grabs people and starts chatting. It's not worth it in this world.
He needs to vent and resolve, and he doesn't care if anyone listens to him.
He just needs a living, breathing person to talk to.
However, everyone stared at his milk tea shop with bright eyes, which made him so angry that he decided to bite the price and would not change it for anyone.
But this time, he found that the young man in front of him was different.
He recognized John Qin because he had been here once last week and wanted to buy his milk tea shop. But this time, Gao Dawei found that he was not in a hurry to ask for a price, but had been listening.
What surprised Gao Dawei the most was that his face was as depressed as his own, and his expression had similar vicissitudes to his own.
"When people reach middle age, there are too many things they can't control, so there is no such thing as easy in the adult world."
John Qin said dullly when his complaint came to an abrupt end.
Gao Dawei was slightly startled: "Can you understand?"
"I understand what you are thinking. You feel that the spread of incense has been cut off to your generation. You feel that your parents have to work hard all their lives. Why do they still feel uneasy in their forties? They are afraid of being criticized when they go back to their hometown. You still feel that A person becomes more and more lonely and wants to reminisce about the past. When he looks back, he finds that nothing is left in his life, it is all just chicken feathers."
Gao Dawei opened his eyes in disbelief: "Idiot, can you really understand?"
"I have an uncle who is like this. He feels that he has too many regrets in his life. As an adult, he doesn't dare to cry for fear of being embarrassed. He tries to report the good news to his family but not the bad news. He has worked hard for most of his life, but in the end everything is empty. In the pit of his heart, It's also empty. I'm so depressed that I can't sleep every night, feeling that the whole world has betrayed me."
"What happened next?" Gao Dawei's voice was trembling.
"Later he couldn't hold it in anymore and called his eldest nephew, me, and we talked all night!"
John Qin pointed to the pit of his heart and took out two bottles of wine from the pocket he brought.
