The rain was coming down hard, pouring down the eaves and raising a curtain of rain.
Zhou Yan and Tang Tang had already arrived downstairs, and the car lights in the distance spread a halo under the rain curtain.
Along with a heavy rain, there was no blazing sun in the sky, only clouds.
Even the air was filled with that dull and depressing smell.
The heat that originally belonged to the scorching summer has long since receded, leaving only a hint of coldness under the heavy rain.
Tang Tang was shivering, holding a big bag.
Zhou Yan, on the other hand, was carrying the suitcase in his left hand, an umbrella in his right hand, and his schoolbag on his back.
"Stone, who is waiting for us?"
Tang Tang stamped his feet and pouted, "We are obviously waiting for him."
"Don't you think that's coming?"
Zhou Yan pointed not far away, where two halos of light showed their outlines, which were two car lights. The car lights drew an arc and illuminated the rain curtain.
And right in front of Zhou Yan and Tang Tang, there was a Volkswagen taxi parked.
The taxi window rolled down, and a man wearing sunglasses and a trench coat appeared in Zhou Yan's sight.
The man in the trench coat took off his sunglasses and grinned, revealing his big white teeth, "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Dong Chenggong?"
Tang Tang was slightly startled when he saw the person coming.
Zhou Yan didn't have many surprises.
People are wise, and when Old Hutou said it, he had already guessed who it was.
After all, I had done Dong Chenggong such a favor. Even if the line had not yet been rolled out, my job was guaranteed for three days. It was really unjustifiable not to come and see him.
This somewhat coquettish man in a trench coat is clearly Dong Chenggong.
Especially the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes caused by laughter are really unforgettable.
At this time, Dong Chenggong had already walked over holding a big umbrella.
"Are things going smoothly?"
Zhou Yan asked.
"Well, we had a great time talking." Dong Chenggong smiled, and suddenly said to Zhou Yan solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"Little things." Zhou Yan waved his hand.
In the final analysis, the two people are just using each other. Zhou Yan lets Dong Chenggong act as his agent, and he can also get a share.
Dong Chenggong and his brothers can also get a share of this big bowl of meat.
It can be said to be mutually beneficial and win-win.
"It's a rainy day. I know you can't get a taxi, so I'll take you to the nearest hotel."
Dong Chenggong smiled.
"That's fine." Zhou Yan nodded.
"Stone." Tang Tang hesitated and whispered.
"Haha, little girl, my uncle is a bad driver. Is it possible that he can eat you?"
"Although my uncle does charge a bit high, that's not a necessity of life."
Dong Chenggong chuckled, "I'm still counting on your boyfriend, a big tree, to make money."
"No...not a boyfriend." Tang Tang glared at Dong Chenggong.
"I understand, I understand, my uncle has been through it before." Dong Chenggong smiled obscenely.
"Okay, stop joking around."
Zhou Yan glared at Dong Chenggong, who smiled. Zhou Yan looked at Tang Tang and said, "Get in the car, I'm here."
"good."
Tang Tang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
There was not much luggage, so Dong Chenggong helped hold the umbrella, and Zhou Yan put the gift into the trunk in a few clicks.
At this time, Tang Tang was already sitting in the back seat waiting. Zhou Yan opened the car door and saw her little hands grabbing the hem of her skirt, knowing that the little girl was a little nervous.
Zhou Yan put away his umbrella, sat next to Tang Tang, and closed the car door.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Zhou Yan whispered.
"It's because of you that I'm afraid, Shitou, you can't bully me." Tang Tang glared at Zhou Yan.
"At worst, I'll open two rooms then." Zhou Yan was a little helpless. He knew what Tang Tang was worried about.
"Okay." Tang Tang nodded his head heavily at this time.
Dong Chenggong was already sitting in the driver's seat at this time, and skillfully turned on the car's thermal air conditioner to dilute the coolness in the car.
"It's nearby and will be there soon." Dong Chenggong muttered and started the car.
The headlights of the car were bright, illuminating the road ahead.
Zhou Yan leaned against Tang Tang, smelling the faint fragrance, and suddenly felt calmer than ever before.
This is September 1, 2010, the first day of his rebirth.
He made his first pot of gold with the girl next door he remembered.
The heavy rain beat on the closed car window, splashing water in circles. Zhou Yan looked at the blurry reflections of himself and Tang Tang in the car window and felt that everything seemed like a dream.
I remember that on this day, I had completed my report, moved into the dormitory, and met three living treasures.
How could it be like now, sitting with Tang Tang in a taxi with a rogue driver?
We went not to school, but to a hotel.
"Where are you from, Mr. Zhou?" Dong Chenggong said with a smile.
"Zhejiang Province."
Zhou Yan said.
"Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Province is a good place. I used to work in Zhejiang Province and have relatives there. However, I still felt comfortable at home, so I returned to Hongcheng."
Dong Chenggong nodded, "Boy Zhou is from Zhejiang Province, so that makes sense. People in Zhejiang Province are basically very business-minded. Several of the big bosses in Hongcheng I met are all from Zhejiang Province. "
"Just make some quick money through speculation." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"That's also my ability. Brother, I don't have much ability. I just fool around every day."
Dong Chenggong smiled mockingly.
Zhou Yan didn't speak anymore.
Everyone has his own way of living, so he can’t say much.
Dong Chenggong quickly drove into a parking lot, but instead of parking in the parking lot, he drove to the gate under the guidance of the security guard.
Zhou Yan saw the revolving door and looked up at the sign above, Prius.
He was familiar with this hotel.
It is about one kilometer away from Hongcheng Station.
When he brought his team to Hongcheng, they stayed in this hotel.
However, the Price Hotel is a five-star hotel and will not be cheap.
As Zhou Yan was thinking about it, Dong Chenggong suddenly turned around and handed Zhou Yan a card.
Zhou Yan looked at Dong Chenggong doubtfully.
"Haha, I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Zhou, so I took it upon myself to book a room for you. There is also a buffet for you in the evening. You can eat." Dong Chenggong was a little embarrassed by Zhou Yan.
"This is not cheap." Zhou Yan glanced at Dong Chenggong and finally spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay. Originally, we brothers wanted to invite you and the little girl to have a meal together as a thank you, but we were afraid that you would admit it, so we let it go."
Dong Chenggong waved his hand and handed it to Zhou Yan again, "Hurry and accept it."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhou Yan didn't show any pretense and took the room card.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yan said to Tang Tang.
"good."
Tang Tang seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Dong Chenggong was here, so she was embarrassed to speak to Zhou Yan, so she just nodded.
...
Outside the Price Hotel, Dong Chenggong leaned on the taxi with an umbrella and smiled slightly as he watched Zhou Yan and Tang Tang enter.
He took out a PHS phone from his trouser pocket and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Where are you? Why don't you go home for dinner?"
It was a female voice, her voice was gentle but seemed a little hoarse.
"Mei Zi, I met a noble person today." Dong Chenggong smiled.
"What noble person?" the other end of the phone asked doubtfully.
"You don't understand even after I tell you. He is a noble person anyway." Dong Chenggong said.
"How do I know if you don't tell me?" the other end of the phone said angrily.
"Let's talk about it when we get back, how was your business today?" Dong Chenggong asked.
"Well, it's not bad. Two young men gave me a trick, which is very useful." said the other end of the phone.
"What move?" Dong Chenggong asked.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Hey, this is not your parking place."
Dong Chenggong saw the security guard coming over.
"Leave now, leave now."
Dong Chenggong said, opening the car door and sitting in.
"What's wrong?" the other end of the phone asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, wait until I get home." Dong Chenggong said and hung up the phone.
"Master, how much does it cost to go to Xinjian Road?"
A young man opened the car door and sat on the back seat, asking.
"Let's set the clock."
Dong Chenggong smiled and started the car.
