"I'm sorry, I'm punishing myself with three cups of wine. Please let me go..."
Cao Xiyu watched coldly, peddling on the university campus... Well, that Wei Tao is back again.
When Wei Tao was at work, he seemed to be eloquently promoting his own fruits and vegetables, but in fact, Cao Xiyu had been watching his efforts. He occasionally passed by the door of "Fresh Times", from the time he started selling cut boxes of fruits and vegetables to when he rode a bicycle in winter. She has seen it all before, sweating profusely while riding a tricycle.
Sometimes, there will be a little foam on the corner of the mouth because of talking too much. Cao Xiyu, who is a bit of a germaphobe, can't stand such sloppy men. He is also disgusted by Wei Tao's slovenly appearance, but in his heart, he admires his efforts to change his life. .
I admired him very much, especially when Wei Tao didn't try to hide his arrogant and false self-esteem in front of him at first.
Until Wei Tao followed Cao Dongxu into his house, facing his mother and father, and later joked that he was shameless and shameless. When he was not joking, Cao Dongxu expressed his admiration more than once. If this man failed to succeed in the future, he would be willing to lose something. .
From the beginning to now, more than two months ago, there has not been a single problem with the fruit boxes delivered to the No. 2 Middle School. The quality of the fruits is among the best among the classmates. There have been no negative comments. My mother talked about it when she got home, including many teachers. The order can be continued. Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it is good to have such a fruit in the afternoon.
In front of his classmates, Wei Tao looked like an ordinary student that everyone was familiar with in the past. He was joking and making jokes. He did not show any experience that was far beyond his peers, nor did he deliberately say anything mature. He won't talk eloquently about things that he thinks others are inferior to him.
I was late, and when I came in, I was amidst the cheers of everyone. I drank three glasses of wine with great effort, and then sat down begging for mercy. The image of late arrival being the center of attention was instantly drowned in the voices of my classmates talking loudly.
When he was in school, Wei Tao was not the center of attention. Nearly three years after graduation, he was still not someone worthy of special attention in everyone's eyes. Of course, he is slightly popular now because several of his classmates go to No. 2 Middle School, where Wei Tao is a celebrity.
The college entrance examination was coming soon, and several senior high school students organized a relaxing class reunion.
Among junior high school students, some like Wei Tao and Liu Lei entered the society early, and many went to technical secondary schools, but more of them are about to usher in the first big turning point in their lives - the college entrance examination.
Liu Lei left a place for Wei Tao, and Li Dong was on the other side.
As a goddess-level figure in the class, the boys all hope to be by her side, but on the surface they don't dare to approach her. In the end, the only choice is for the female classmate and Li Dong, who is currently a classmate, to sit next to each other.
Adults will care about the rules of seating at the table, but they, students, are more concerned about the heckling of who is near whom.
The college entrance examination is less than a month away. It’s not easy to relax and unwind. We are studying intensely every day. Everyone only has one afternoon off. They all want to talk about everything except missing and studying in these few days. Let it out for an hour. This is also a trick thought up by some experienced teachers to reduce stress for students and give parents suggestions. If there are gatherings that can control the scale, they can relax appropriately once or twice. This restaurant is owned by a relative of Li Dong's family, and many parents have called, which can be regarded as reassurance.
There wasn't much beer on the table. Only non-high school seniors would drink less. We all made an appointment to wait until the college entrance examination is over to have another good gathering. Then we would go to a classmate's resort by the lake, and we would have a day of fun and relaxation. .
Later on Wei Tao, everyone teased him a few words to save face and chatted with him for a few minutes, but within three to five minutes, the previous pattern started again.
And he didn't drink any more besides the three glasses of beer he had when he entered the house.
Liu Lei was also very low-key at this party. He was no longer the naughty person he used to be. Now that he thinks back to the showoff he showed off when he was in junior high school, he feels quite embarrassed. Others may have forgotten about him, and he feels a little embarrassed. .
We had almost finished talking about the group topics, and we didn’t drink anymore, but everyone was reluctant to take the opportunity to relax, so they pulled up their chairs and left the table. In this large private room, there were more and more scenes of three or five people gathering together to chat privately. It was no longer the neatly arranged seating situation before. Li Dong was pulled away, and a girl came over to sit in his seat and chatted with Cao Xiyu.
Here, Liu Lei lit a cigarette for Wei Tao: "Taozi, I resigned mostly because of you."
Wei Tao glanced at him: "Then you go back to work?"
Liu Lei smiled wildly: "Why, are you afraid that I will become your competitor? Lose to me?"
Wei Tao pouted: "Don't be shameless."
Liu Lei picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Wei Tao. Cup to cup, as if they were going to collide: "My family's purchasing channels need to be closed down. Don't do too much, be precise."
Wei Tao glanced at him: "Bring me one for exclusive supply? Then I'll give you one, dried pork, tofu and soybean curd. Bring a copy to all your stores. What I have is better than what you buy in the market."
Liu Lei touched Wei Tao's wine glass with his own: "I'm right about resigning. It's interesting to be against you. You kid, you can always think of us. My dad is going to the south to see the supply of goods." Wholesale by yourself is risky, with ups and downs, and if you run into trouble or a certain truck of goods becomes rotten, it is less stable than opening a fruit and vegetable supermarket."
Wei Tao picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. The two of them laughed in a tacit understanding. They were defensive, but more importantly, they felt comfortable that their thoughts were in harmony.
opponent?
Both of them are not so stupid that they are arrogant enough to control a large city. The Liu family are all relatives and friends of their own family, either in partnership or cooperation. They have opened seven or eight stores, and the scale is not small, and Wei Tao The outside world doesn't know what it is like here. They only know that 'Fresh Times' has five or six stores and is quite large. Putting the two together, in the face of the huge market where fruit and vegetable supermarkets have begun to gradually enter the awareness of thousands of households, the concept of rivals has no value at all. Looking back, there are sweet cakes on the left and right. You have to find someone to punch and snatch the cake.
Wei Tao felt his chair being kicked and turned around. Cao Xiyu didn't know when he moved his chair and leaned over: "Xiaojing's father and Tang Cen's aunt are colleagues. If you have their home phone numbers, you should be able to contact Tang Cen. "
The chubby girl on the side looked at Cao Xiyu and Wei Tao with a surprised look on her face. Why didn't she realize that you two had crossed paths when you were in school? The way you spoke didn't look like you hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"I'll call you when I get back later." Wei Tao nodded, and Liu Lei on the side came over. Now the four of them formed a small circle, seeming to be having a lively chat: "Tang Cen, is there any news about that tomboy?"
Cao Xiyu nodded: "There was no news before."
Wei Tao stood up, walked out of the private room, took out the vibrating mobile phone from his inner pocket, looked at the phone number on it, and connected it.
"Hello."
"Hey, Wei Tao."
"Principal Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"Is Xiaoyu with you?"
"Ah, yes."
"It's getting dark. You'll be finished soon. You can help me bring her back."
"okay."
He calmly returned to the room without mentioning the matter. After everyone had finished chatting, he saw through the window that it was completely dark outside. Li Dong was the squad leader at the beginning, and he was also the initiator of this gathering and suggested that everyone disperse. It's not too late.
As they were leaving one after another, Wei Tao landed next to Cao Xiyu and whispered: "Your mother asked me to take you home. Don't leave in a hurry."
Cao Xiyu just nodded and said nothing, but their behavior was seen by people who were paying attention secretly, and they finally made a fuss.
"Hey, Wei Tao, you are so brave now. Didn't you always take a detour when you saw Cao Xiyu before? Why do you dare to go there and whisper?"
"Cao Xiyu, you have become kind." A female classmate who thought what she said was funny said something that even male students who had not been exposed to social criticism could not bear.
An ordinary big boy would definitely blush with shame at this sentence, and it would be normal for him to become angry and use some hard words to criticize him.
Wei Tao gave the female classmate a thumbs up: "You guessed it right."
