Dong Qiangqiang wanted to communicate with Duanmu the result of meeting Sergela the next day, but when he woke up the next day, he felt light-headed and limp, with neither strength nor appetite. He knew that he had caught a cold after being exposed to the rain. He stayed in bed all day in a daze. After falling asleep, he woke up hungry again. After barely drinking a few large sips of water, he fell asleep again. By the time he woke up completely, it was already the early morning of the third day. Three o'clock.
Dong Qiangqiang was really hungry after not eating for a whole day.
He floated into the kitchen and made himself a bowl of instant noodles, two eggs, and some slices of bacon and lettuce.
A large bowl of steaming noodles was placed on the table, which was hard to swallow for a while. Air conditioners are never sold in German shopping malls, so he only has ordinary electric fans. Most of the 3C electronic products in Germany are Made in China, but after recovering from his illness, he did not want to turn on the fan at this time, but chose to open the window to physically cool down.
The refreshing night breeze rushed into the house, and the coolness was wrapped in a fresh smell after the rain, even a bit of early autumn.
He looked out the window. It was still dark and the road outside the window was very quiet. With the help of a few weak amber street lights, he noticed that there was water on the road. It must have rained during the day.
The thought of smoking came out of nowhere, and he couldn't suppress it. However, he rarely smoked, and he didn't have any inventory at home. The store closest to his home probably wasn't open at this time. He rummaged around and found out from the closet a half-pack of cigarettes that had been unsealed for some time and whose tobacco had become damp. He lit it several times before lighting it.
There was silence everywhere, and his thoughts followed the curling light blue smoke that spread out endlessly.
There is no doubt that he must discuss this matter with Duanmu, but before doing so, he must first figure it out for himself.
Judging from the domineering attitude of the other party, he and Duanmu should not be able to run away to receive the money, but this money is not given to them in vain. Not only is it hot, but it will also cost their lives. They were lucky enough to complete Anderson's gambling agreement, and God knows what conditions Sergeira will offer this time.
He couldn't help but think of Liang Jiahui's gloomy question to Li Liqun in "Black Gold": Can the conditions you offer be higher than the sky? He didn't know whether Sergeyla's conditions for giving money were sky-high, but he knew one thing: people can't be lucky every time. Asking for the other party's money is equivalent to getting on the pirate ship, but I'm afraid they have already been on the pirate ship since they got Anderson's 500,000 euros.
But if you don't answer, the result will be difficult to say, or the result will have been shown to Dong Qiangqiang long ago.
What if you call the police yourself? The London police have been keeping an eye on Sergeira. If the police call the police in Germany, can the criminal police of the two countries cooperate cross-borderly? But what is the reason for calling the police? Because the other party insists on investing in his company? This does not seem to be illegal, and since I have no witnesses or physical evidence, the other party can deny it very calmly. If you use this reason to report a crime, it is hard to say whether the German police can accept it or whether it can open a case after acceptance. Even if the police file a case, what can they do? The efficiency of the German police is probably not much better than that of the London police. But if the police cannot directly control Sergeira, then calling the police is tantamount to alerting the snake. Fortunately, this time he was only half-buried. Dong Qiangqiang simply didn't dare to think about what would happen next time.
The so-called calling the police is most likely just a formality in the end, and may even cause trouble for himself. Dong Qiangqiang blew out the smoke melancholy.
What about asking the embassy for help? Find Sun Tao. But what can I say? The embassy is not a law enforcement agency. I am afraid that after going around and around, I will end up with the German police, just like when I found Lu Wei.
What if the company is canceled and Sergey’s money cannot enter the company account? The result is obvious, still causing trouble.
After thinking about it, he and Duanmu had no choice. The only way out was to leave and return home completely to solve the problem once and for all. No matter how awesome Sergeila is, can he still go to the country to block them?
This method seemed feasible for him and Duanmu, but what about their classmates and friends who stayed in Germany? Lao Bai, Tong Lele, Lei Lanting, Wang Shunan, and Duanmu's classmates and friends... If the two of them slap their butts and leave, will Sergela cause trouble for them? He may not retaliate against everyone, but no matter who he troubles, it will be a disaster for that person, and it is impossible for all his friends to leave Germany.
If he returns to China, how will he and Du Lan continue? She still has studies here, so she definitely can't leave. Why should I ask others to leave?
Thinking of not knowing how to explain the whole thing to Du Lan, Dong Qiangqiang had a splitting headache and depressedly put out his cigarette butt in the empty can next to him.
If he returns to China, his academic qualifications will not improve, and he will not make any money. How should he explain to himself and his parents?
As soon as he thought about it, he felt an overwhelming sense of frustration, instantly drowning the small man in endless troubles.
He could only lower his head and eat the crumbled noodles in the darkness.
The skin of the poached egg is already warm and cool, and when you bite it open, you can feel the residual warmth from the soggy heart, which is still slightly hot. A big bowl of noodles and soup was like a warm current flowing into his stomach. With food in his stomach, Dong Qiangqiang felt less anxious. There was also a circle of sweat on the top of his head. The evaporation of the sweat took away the heat, and the whole person felt cool. many.
A vague and strange thought flashed through his mind: Do I have to leave?
After eating and drinking, Dong Qiangqiang felt no sleepiness at all. Considering that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, he decided to call Duanmu first, but after half an hour of dialing, Duanmu's cell phone was never answered. The last time Duanmu finally called The response was to send him a text message: Contact me tonight.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't know whether Duanmu was referring to the evening in the United States or the evening in Germany, but he said that if he wanted to talk at night, he could only talk at night.
It dawned early in summer. Dong Qiangqiang finished cleaning the house and watched the stocks for a while before the sun rose.
As soon as he finished cleaning the house, he heard someone knocking on the door: "Brother Qiang, are you up?"
It's Lu Shan.
The door opened, and Lu Shan appeared in front of him with a sunny face: "Breakfast is ready, let's eat together?"
Dong Qiangqiang was interested in understanding Lu Shan's progress over the past two days, so he followed him to the kitchen.
"Brother Qiang, I want to learn to drive... You said you could lend me money before. I want to know if this is still possible now?" Lu Shan asked directly, but as if he was afraid of being rejected by Dong Qiangqiang. He dared to raise his head and look directly into Dong Qiangqiang's eyes. Instead, he lowered his head and stuffed a piece of sandwich into his mouth, and then used his index finger to slurp all the ketchup that touched his mouth into his mouth.
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned by his question. He thought Lu Shan would talk about Lu Wei first.
He didn't pick up on Lu Shan's words and asked proactively, "Have you started asking about the church?"
"Well, I visited several (churches) in the past two days, but they all said they had never seen my sister." Lu Shan's eyes were a little evasive.
"Where are the police?"
Lu Shan nodded and then shook his head with a wry smile, and Dong Qiangqiang understood that the police must have gained nothing.
"You have just asked two families. You will visit a few more this week. Don't worry and keep looking." Dong Qiangqiang encouraged, "You can print some missing persons notices and ask the church if they allow you to post the missing persons notices." Post it on the church bulletin board, and maybe the church will agree, but even if you are rejected, at least you have to ask first.”
"Okay." Lu Shan agreed and drank all the milk in the bowl in one gulp, leaving a milk beard. Noticing that Dong Qiangqiang hadn't eaten, he pushed the plate in front of him and said politely: "Hey, Brother Qiang You taste what I made and whether it tastes good or not."
Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely feel that Lu Shan didn't seem as anxious as the day before yesterday, which surprised him.
"Did the labor agency run away?" Dong Qiangqiang had not digested the large bowl of noodles a few hours ago, so he had no appetite.
"After I separated from you that day, I followed your advice and went to several labor agencies to find a job..." Lu Shan hesitated.
"Then?"
"Not ideal." Lu Shan looked frustrated. "The statements from several companies were similar. They all said that they have been out of work recently. Only one of them allowed me to register, and the rest refused to even let me log in..."
Dong Qiangqiang was not surprised by Lu Shan's statement. He comforted him: "I had trouble finding a job when I first came here. You still have to continue..."
"That's why I asked you for help, Brother Qiang!" Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, Lu Shan couldn't wait to interrupt, "I originally wanted to find my sister while working part-time before the (preparatory) school started, but now I'm worried, In the end, the bamboo basket was in vain, and I didn't catch either end. I have already thought about it. I am brave and not afraid of hardship. I will definitely... I will not hold you back, as long as... as long as you can introduce me to a job... ..." After saying that, he deliberately showed his bony arms to Dong Qiangqiang, as if he wanted to increase his confidence in him.
Dong Qiangqiang's original plan was to take Lu Shan to catch wild pigs to earn money, then learn to drive, and then take him into the industry as a tour guide. However, on the day after the exam, Lu Shan was so anxious that he only wanted to find Lu Wei. He didn't care about anything else. Only two days have passed, and Lu Shan has become a completely different person, which makes him wonder: "It's okay to lend you money to learn how to drive, and it's okay to introduce you to a job, but why aren't you in a hurry to find your sister? Yes? Do you find it difficult? Didn't you say that day that you would..." Dong Qiangqiang deliberately left half of his words.
Lu Shan's face suddenly changed color, and it took a long time before he murmured: "I... still have to support myself first, and then find my sister. My parents said that my sister... doesn't need me to worry about."
Dong Qiangqiang understood now.
"I have some difficult matters at hand that I need to deal with first. I can take you to work after I finish them." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the cell phone that suddenly rang. It was Du Lan calling. He stood up and said, "You go to find out in the morning." I'll post the notice, and then go to the church and try to post it. I'll sign up at the driving school in the afternoon. I'll give you the registration fee and the driving school address later. I'll take the traffic rules test first and then prepare for the road test. But my brother has settled the accounts, so you have to write an IOU, do you understand?"
Hearing Dong Qiangqiang agreed to help, Lu Shan's face burst into a smile again: "I understand, I will write it right away. Thank you, Brother Qiang!"
