"Yes, I passed." Dong Qiangqiang responded lightly, "It's easier than I thought."
"Congratulations then." Tong Lele's smile was sincere, "It's not like your trip was in vain."
"Hey, I still can't compare with you. Like you, Lao Bai, Hualing, and Duanmu, you have all graduated, and I am just taking the first step in a long march of thousands of miles." Dong Qiangqiang sighed, "And the preparatory course only takes one year. After graduating from the preparatory course, I still don’t know where I will go to university. I can’t see the end at a glance..."
"I heard that the preparatory course is not difficult. It is not necessarily a bad thing for you to study for a year before going to university. Sharpening your sword will not waste time on chopping wood. Besides, you can also take advantage of this year to improve your language. After all, you will be able to improve your language in the future. The German used for reading exams and essays is not the same thing as the German used in daily life.”
"I understand this. Thank you for reminding me." Dong Qiangqiang wanted to talk about something lighthearted, "By the way, are you here to meet someone for dinner?"
"Oh no, I'm here to see Hualing." Tong Lele changed the subject, "You also know about her engagement to Lao Bai, right?"
"Ah?" Dong Qiangqiang was surprised when he heard this, "They got engaged? When did it happen?"
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's surprised expression, Tong Lele knew that she had told the truth, but what she said was like spilled water. There is a saying that it is difficult to recover when water is poured out. No matter how much she wanted to make amends, she would not rush out, so she could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "You don't know? I thought Lao Bai told you..."
Thinking that Lao Bai didn't even tell him something as important as the engagement, Dong Qiangqiang felt as if his five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. Loss and disappointment came to his heart together, and he stared at the ground blankly, lost in thought.
Although the light at the entrance of the restaurant was not good, Tong Lele still noticed the change in Dong Qiangqiang's expression. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Are you okay?"
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly thought of something and murmured: "Oh, no wonder when I met Hua Ling inside just now, she told me 'I must come that day'. I thought she was talking nonsense. Now I understand after listening to you. Turns out she was referring to the wedding day.”
"They should get married soon after getting engaged." Tong Lele said, with a look of envy and loneliness on her face, "It's not easy for them to get married. Finally, someone finally got married."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's weird expression, Tong Lele guessed that he was still depressed, and couldn't persuade him any more, so he could only make excuses to avoid him. "Then I'll go in first."
"Oh, okay." Realizing his gaffe, Dong Qiangqiang felt a little embarrassed, "Let's talk another day."
Seeing Tong Lele walking towards the door, Brother Yun who was inside the door nimbly dodged behind the green plants on the side and continued to look at the two people outside the door intently through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
When Tong Lele was about to reach the door of the restaurant, she suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Has Lei Lanting contacted you recently?"
"Lei Lanting?" Dong Qiangqiang immediately thought of Zhang Yueqin, whom he had just arranged to meet. "I just came back from Munich and I haven't contacted Lei Lanting for a while. Is he okay?" he asked deliberately.
The story about Lei Lanting that Lao Bai told him before is still fresh in his mind. He has no intention of gossiping about Lei Lanting's personal affairs, but as a creditor, he really wants to hear any new news about Lei Lanting from Tong Lele, maybe it will be helpful to him later. He didn't know that Zhang Yueqin would be helpful.
"I heard that the police have looked for him many times, and it seems to be related to the disappearance of a Chinese student." Tong Lele saw that Dong Qiangqiang was listening attentively, guessing that he might not know, and continued, "I also heard from other friends, and I am also very I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
Tong Lele's voice was not high, but when she heard Dong Qiangqiang's ears, it was like thunder. He knew that Tong Lele rarely spread gossip about other people, and even she said so. It seemed that what Lao Bai said was not all unfounded.
Although he had known for a long time that Lei Lanting's character would cause trouble sooner or later, but he always thought that Lei Lanting would only fight with others at most, and he did not expect that he would commit such a big thing. He was a little unbelievable for a moment and couldn't help but take a breath: "Is he related to the disappearance of other international students?"
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly thought of Jin Yuan inexplicably.
"I think you two had a good relationship before, maybe he will contact you..." Tong Lele warned worriedly, "Anyway, if he comes to you, you should be more careful. Although it seems a little bit so, but he is abroad, Defenses can not do without."
Tong Lele's concern made Dong Qiangqiang feel warm. He nodded gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."
Just as he said this, Dong Qiangqiang's cell phone rang, and it was Brother Yun calling.
"Is it cool outside? Are you too happy to stay here?" There was ill-intention in her tone, "If you leave your girlfriend alone in a restaurant, it will leave her with a knot in her heart." Brother Yun said "alone" Read it very seriously. Before Dong Qiangqiang could answer, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced back at the door guiltily, but did not see Brother Yun. He found that he was relieved, and couldn't help but secretly despise himself: How could he be so frightened by Brother Yun's phone call?
Tong Lele thought he was still worried about Lei Lanting, so she smiled lightly: "Then you go about your business first."
"Oh, okay." Dong Qiangqiang responded hurriedly, but unexpectedly the phone in his hand rang again.
What surprised him even more was that the caller this time was Lao Bai.
"Let me tell you something," Lao Bai said quickly, "I have decided to get married."
Dong Qiangqiang did not expect that Lao Bai would tell him about the marriage. He was in a daze for two seconds before he realized what to say. "Congratulations to you and Hua Ling."
"I'm still in Munich. I'll go back to Hannover after I finish handling the matters here." Lao Bai paused. "I've applied to register a company here. We are the only shareholders, 60% for me and 40% for you. One more day The company’s business license will almost be issued within a month.”
Dong Qiangqiang guessed that Lao Bai should have registered the company with the 50,000 marks given by Lao Chen. He remembered that he was allocated 30,000 marks at that time. Logically speaking, he should get 60% of the shares, but now he He didn't care about these things at all, but was surprised by another thing: "Just the two of us? No Hualin?"
As soon as this question was raised, Lao Bai immediately fell silent.
Just as someone was walking out of the restaurant talking and laughing, Dong Qiangqiang took the opportunity to sneak to a secluded corner nearby.
"It's important to settle this matter before getting married." Lao Bai hesitated, "Hua Ling also knew it and didn't say anything."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what Lao Bai was thinking, but since the family members didn't have any objections, it was hard for him, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks.
"Then when will you testify? When will you return to China or in Germany?"
"I want to wait until I get my master's degree certificate before I get it. The company's license should also be issued by then." Lao Bai explained, "It will be in September or October. I haven't decided where to get it yet. I'll check it out then. Right, and we have to discuss it with both families."
"Speak wherever necessary." Dong Qiangqiang said sincerely. Although he and Lao Bai have great differences on Lao Chen's matter, Lao Bai's getting married is also a big event for Dong Qiangqiang, and he is still very happy for Lao Bai.
"Then I won't be polite to you. After all, you have a car. I will have to trouble you more when the time comes."
"I'll be there when you call me." Dong Qiangqiang promised, "By the way, I also have something to tell you. I'm starting to talk about being friends with Du Lan."
Lao Bai obviously didn't expect this turn of events and fell into silence again.
Dong Qiangqiang took his mobile phone and looked at the lush sycamore trees above his head, and suddenly realized, why can't he hear the cicada chirping in the summer in Germany?
