He thought Lu Wei would be angry after hearing the news. After all, she was sent to prison by Yu Jianghai. But what surprised him was that Lu Wei's face did not show relief or repentance. Instead, it showed confusion, followed by pain. Finally, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed softly.
Dong Qiangqiang was horrified. Lu Wei's move was beyond his expectation. It was completely contrary to his original intention. How could a good intention turn into a bad thing? He was puzzled.
"If you cry again, we won't have time to talk." Dong Qiangqiang tried to distract her, "The next time we see each other is another week."
Lu Wei wiped his tears with the back of his hand and turned his face behind him. After dozens of seconds, he turned his face again, lowered his head and asked, "How... did he die?"
You could tell by her voice that she was in a bad mood. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but regret telling Lu Wei about this. He immediately decided that he couldn't continue talking and quickly changed the topic: "I don't know the details, but I can help you pay attention."
"I want to know how he...troubled you." Her sobs gradually stopped.
"Do you need any other daily necessities here? Food or daily necessities are included. If I can't come next time, you can ask Dong Yiqing to bring them over for you."
Dong Qiangqiang's suggestion reminded Lu Wei. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then whispered: "My things... are enough for the time being. But if it is convenient for you, I would like to trouble you to find some books for me."
"Book? No problem."
"I will ask the prison guard to give you the book list at that moment. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. But I may not be able to return the book money to you for a while." Lu Wei raised his head, the tears on his face had not completely faded, because Could it be, "Because I won't get this month's income until the beginning of next month."
"Can you still earn income here?" Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but think of the famous "Shawshank Redemption". "Are they asking you to paint asphalt on the roof and drink beer?"
"There is no heavy manual labor like you mentioned here," Lu Wei was amused by Dong Qiangqiang's ignorance. "As far as this prison is concerned, every prisoner can decide whether to participate in the labor or study arranged by the prison according to his own wishes. You can also design some jobs within your capabilities based on your own expertise, such as making some small items for sale. In principle, the prison will not interfere. In addition, if you actively participate in labor and study, you may even be paroled or have your sentence commuted."
Lu Wei's eyes shone when she spoke, and Dong Qiangqiang suddenly remembered that when he first met Lu Wei, she had this look in her eyes, a radiance full of infinite longing and yearning for the future.
Hope is the most beautiful thing in the world.
"That's great." Dong Qiangqiang immediately encouraged, "I often watch news like this on TV, saying that a certain prisoner received a commutation and bail reward of several months or even years because of his continued good performance. You must Try your best to get this opportunity and never give up on yourself.”
"I will definitely do it!" Lu Wei was also infected by Dong Qiangqiang's passion and said incoherently, "I will definitely do it."
"It's time." The prison guard opened the door and walked in. "Please leave your seat."
Lu Wei reluctantly stood up and walked toward the door while turning back and telling Dong Qiangqiang: "Remember to come see me next week. You must come."
Dong Qiangqiang felt in her eyes a kind of attachment similar to that of a child to his parents, an unspeakable trust and expectation.
He nodded heavily: "Okay."
Lu Wei's figure disappeared at the door. There were only Dong Qiangqiang and another old German woman in the visiting room. Opposite the woman sat an old man with white hair and wearing prison uniform. He looked quite old. But the two people didn't say anything, they just stared at each other affectionately through the glass window, as if communicating with their eyes.
Dong Qiangqiang stepped out of the visiting room. A female prison guard hurriedly walked over, handed a letter into his hand, and then hurriedly left.
He opened the letter as he walked outside, and Lu Wei listed a long list of book titles on the paper. Dong Qiangqiang originally thought she was going to read professional books for the master's program, but it turned out that the titles were reference books such as "Chinese Textbook", "Introduction to Chinese Pinyin", and "Chinese Tutorial". The more he looked, the more confused he became. Could it be that Lu Wei studied Chinese at Han University? I wonder if these books are available in the university library. If not, does he have to buy them from China?
With confusion, Dong Qiangqiang returned to the car.
He called Lei Lanting back, but Lei Lanting didn't say anything more. He just asked Dong Qiangqiang to help him complete the contract and talk about other things later. Before hanging up the phone, Lei Lanting emphasized once more that he definitely did not kill Yu Jianghai.
As expected, no one answered Brother Yun's call. Dong Qiangqiang thought about it and felt that since she had taken the initiative to call, she should not be angry with him. He thought he should tell Brother Yun that he was going to be Lao Bai's best man, but he was afraid that Brother Yun would be jealous of Tong Lele. In the end, it was decided to let Lao Bai speak, so that he and Brother Yun would not have direct conflicts.
Dong Qiangqiang was a little confused. He and Brother Yun seemed to be different people, but they talked about friends inexplicably. First, he accidentally rescued the beautiful girl as a hero, then there was the kiss that caused misunderstandings in the forest, and then there was Brother Yun's sudden confession, and he seemed to be very happy and accepted it. But whether his agreement was because he was appreciated by others, or because he fell in love with Brother Yun's beauty, even Dong Qiangqiang himself couldn't tell the reason.
He was still struggling with his own thoughts when Lao Bai called after him.
"Has the contract been signed?" Lao Bai seemed to be very anxious. "The agency that registered the company said that the contract should be given to them before get off work next Wednesday at the latest, and they can handle it for free. If the materials are submitted next Thursday, I will You have to pay again.”
"I haven't thought about the contract yet, but there's something else I need you to do."
"you say."
"I want you to say hello to Brother Yun about the best man."
Lao Bai understood Dong Qiangqiang's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and immediately agreed: "Then I will call her today to tell her about this. Tong Lele is appointed by Hualing and has nothing to do with you."
"I've already started working on the website, but I've been busy lately. I just finished debugging the forum and haven't started filling it in with much fanfare yet."
"The website is not urgent. Are you free today? I have to start signing up to learn how to drive. Time waits for no one. Valin also wants me to drive to the bride on the wedding day..."
"Then let's meet at the driving school at 12 o'clock, but I have to leave after you sign up. I have to catch a few pigs before class. You don't know, it's getting harder and harder to catch pigs now."
"Okay. How much do you think is appropriate to put in my stock account? 1,000? 5,000?" Lao Bai asked.
"Let's put 3,000 first, and then we'll see whether we need to add more after seeing the rate of return."
"Okay, I'll transfer the money now. See you at the driving school at 12 o'clock." Lao Bai hung up the phone happily.
Coach Karina was very happy. Dong Qiangqiang was like the God of Wealth. He introduced Duanmu to the class as soon as he finished learning, and then in the blink of an eye he brought an old man. The new student was the cash flow. She was so happy that she couldn’t open her mouth from ear to ear. He thanked Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that the Germans would not give him a kickback, and he did not care too much. He explained a few words to Lao Bai and left first.
On the way home, Dong Qiangqiang received calls from Duanmu and Wang Shunan respectively. The former told him that he had just returned to Hannover and had a new stock that he wanted to talk to Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang replied directly that he was going to catch pigs in the afternoon, and the two made a reservation until the evening. The latter told him that the Greencastle Nursing Home had just opened up a temporary job position for a nursing worker, who worked 1-2 days a week and earned between 600 and 800 marks per month before tax. If Dong Yiqing is interested, she can ask Dong Yiqing to contact her directly. In addition, she also asked Dong Qiangqiang if he would go to Han University’s preparatory class reunion in the evening. Dong Qiangqiang has never been interested in this kind of social interaction, but Wang Shunan suggested that he should go and have a look. It is always a good thing to get to know more new classmates.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't like talking on the phone while driving, so he accepted the call perfunctorily.
