Dong Qiangqiang was not surprised by Lao Bai's silence. He seemed to have expected the awkward situation of having nothing to say, and immediately changed the topic naturally.
"Maybe I'm over-worried, maybe I'm cautious, but I think it's necessary for us to separate now, and we can't be tied together anymore."
Lao Bai was confused for a second before he understood what Dong Qiangqiang was referring to: "You want to withdraw your shares?"
"Whether I stay or leave in the future, I should withdraw from your German travel agency first, the sooner the better, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to you. Maybe it's too late now."
Lao Bai really couldn't think of a better way, and Dong Qiangqiang's caution was not necessarily groundless, so he could only nod in agreement.
"I will return the shares to the travel agency. You'd better transfer the money to me in the name of the company. In the remarks, it is stated that it is the money for the withdrawal of shares. You have to do a good job. I will withdraw the money later and return you cash." Dong Qiangqiang explained.
"This should be no problem. After taking this group (company), there will be money in the account." Lao Bai asked, "How much is appropriate to transfer?"
"Do you have 10,000 (Euro)?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"You're degrading me?" Lao Bai looked displeased. "You invested 30,000 marks back then. Even if you don't want interest, I should pay you back at least 15,000 euros now, not to mention that you have contributed so many times. Don't refuse either. Yes, the fixed price is 20,000."
Dong Qiangqiang understood that Lao Bai was referring to the fact that he originally paid 30,000 marks to Dong Qiangqiang from the money Lao Chen compensated Du Lan as a reward. After being rejected by Dong Qiangqiang, he instead used 30,000 marks and his own 20,000 marks to jointly register a German travel agency. The two had a bad time because of how to deal with Lao Chen, and Lao Bai was almost killed on the island by Lao Chen because of this.
Although more than half a year has passed since this happened, when Dong Qiangqiang thought of one of these things, other things came flooding in.
But he quickly pulled away from his memories. He didn't want to continue to entangle with Lao Bai about money, so he immediately cut the mess: "Then you see, it doesn't take too much." At the same time, he made up his mind, no matter what Lao Bai gave him No matter how much, he finally found an opportunity to return it. If Lao Bai doesn't accept it, he will just give it back to Tong Lele.
"Also, they already know where I live. I want to move out as soon as possible, but it's just the beginning of school and it's hard to find a house. Anyway, I want to move out as soon as possible." Dong Qiangqiang's finger fell on the cigarette for a second, but he still didn't take it. He came out and said, "I thought that if I go back to my country to hide, it would be the same as moving. But the house won't be empty. Lu Shan will probably live there. He will start school soon."
"Actually, you don't have to move..." Lao Bai knew that Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to drag him and Lu Shan down who lived in the building. "If you want to move, I will move."
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to interrupt him, Lao Bai continued: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to show loyalty to you. The house in Lele is due to expire in October. We wanted to rent a bigger one. Originally I don’t want to move now, but if you move, you might as well move me.”
In the end, it was Lao Bai who changed the topic.
"Are you going to live with Lele?" Dong Qiangqiang was surprised and happy, "Really or not? You didn't mean to deceive me, did you?"
Lao Bai nodded solemnly, with a hint of shyness and embarrassment on his face.
"I remember at the beginning of the year, didn't Lele tell her family that she would try Germany for half a year before deciding whether to stay or not?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "When did you convince her?"
"Actually, she wants to stay and travel. She has also negotiated with her family and her parents have agreed. The old people only have one request, hoping that she will not delay her life-long events. Lele wants me to return to China on November 1 this year. I want to save more money before meeting her parents, so that I can propose marriage while visiting the elderly."
"You have to meet your parents? That's okay. Congratulations!" Dong Qiangqiang was so excited that he couldn't help but punch Lao Bai on the shoulder. "When will you do it?"
Lao Bai's shoulders were so painful from being beaten by Dong Qiangqiang that he hid and laughed: "We are both very old. No accident, it should be May Day next year, but it hasn't been finalized yet. I got married and took out insurance in Germany to support my family. The company can save a lot of money every month, and of course there are other benefits. Two people have more chopsticks than one person."
Looking at the happy expression on Lao Bai's face, Dong Qiangqiang somehow thought of Du Lan. His heart suddenly twitched as if something had stabbed him, and his face suddenly froze.
The change in his expression clearly told Lao Bai everything he was thinking. Lao Bai asked in a low voice: "Then you and Du Lan..."
"Whether I stay or go, I'm afraid I have to... separate from her for a while." Although he said "separate for a while," Dong Qiangqiang knew very well in his heart that he could not get rid of Sergeyla before he was sure that he could. If he continued to get along with Du Lan, he forced a smile, "Breaking up is definitely safer than being a boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if I can't protect her, I can't harm her. When we are together, we are like a ball of fire, when we are scattered, we are filled with stars. If we are destined... "
He suddenly choked up for some reason. Even he couldn't figure it out. The relationship between the two didn't seem to be very deep. They spent more time apart and less together during the good times. Why did he become sad when talking about breaking up? Talk about the feeling when you break up, as if a part of your body is leaving you.
Lao Bai agreed with Dong Qiangqiang's attitude from the bottom of his heart and compared it with his own. I'm afraid he would have made the same choice in this matter, but he still advised him earnestly: "Now that I don't have any horoscopes, why don't you think about it again? Don't do it when you are anxious. Make a decision so you don’t regret it later.”
"I'm afraid that it will be too late to break up the relationship once we have both." Dong Qiangqiang had made up his mind and changed the subject, "If it's inconvenient for me to come forward, can you help Lu Shan find his sister?"
"You mean Lu Wei?" Seeing Dong Qiangqiang change his mind, Lao Bai immediately knew that he didn't want to talk more. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that the outcome of the two of them was already certain.
"right."
"I'm afraid I don't have time."
Lao Bai's direct refusal surprised Dong Qiangqiang: "No time?"
"To tell you the truth, I have a lot of things to do next. First of all, something happened to two people in this group, because this has to be coordinated with the consulate here and Xu Tongying back home. I don't know how long this matter will take to deal with the aftermath. . In addition, Xu Tongying had previously arranged for a group of twenty people to follow the current group. My own domestic partners also pushed jobs for me. I already rejected a group in July and cannot push anymore, otherwise It will be difficult to get along with others in the future, so we will be very busy in the next time." After finishing speaking, Lao Bai explained, "Even Ding Haifeng is included."
Dong Qiangqiang believed that Lao Bai would not deliberately find excuses to evade: "There are so many tour groups recently?"
"As I expected, the number of people traveling to Europe is steadily increasing. If this continues, there will be a problem that Xu Tongying was worried about before: we don't have enough manpower here. Ding Haifeng is a good tour guide, and he is a good person. Driving, the overall quality is also good. I met the smuggler this time thanks to him and Lei Lanting. Otherwise, it would be hard to say. I plan to absorb him into the travel agency, but the few of us are definitely not enough, and we need more fresh blood. .”
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: If Du Lan fails the make-up exam, he can work as a full-time tour guide, but I'm afraid she won't be happy.
"When you say that, I remembered that Lu Shan wanted to learn to drive, but he had no money. I wanted to help him catch wild boars to earn money for learning to drive, but recently because of Sergei's incident, I didn't have time to teach him. Besides, I I haven’t decided whether to do this or not.”
"You were right not to take him with you. I heard that something happened recently when Chinese people hunted wild boars." Voices came from outside the men's room, and Lao Bai immediately suppressed his voice.
While they were talking, the door of the men's room was pushed open, and a few young German students came in talking and laughing. They both closed their mouths at the same time, and when the other party left, Dong Qiangqiang closed the door and asked, "Who knows if something happened?" What?" He had been in Hanover but had never heard of it.
"I heard it was one of the Ershang brothers." Lao Bai sighed, "Some said they were accused of illegal hunting by the Germans, and others said that the younger brother was injured by a wild boar. I don't know the details, but I advise Don’t do this kind of thing again recently, you might as well help me if you have time.”
"It's such a fleeting time." Dong Qiangqiang has never had a good impression of the Shang brothers, and they don't have much interaction with each other. When he heard that the other party might have been arrested for illegal hunting, he immediately remembered that he and Lei Lanting were invited to the police station for coffee at the beginning of the year for this reason. "Looking at it this way, we really need to find other ways to make money."
"Although I don't have time to help him find a sister, I can pay to help him learn to drive." Lao Bai said quietly, "As long as he completes his studies, he will work as a driver and tour guide for me. The time limit will be discussed later."
"Are you paying? What's the situation?" Dong Qiangqiang really didn't expect Lao Bai to make such a proposal, "It seems that Mr. Bai made a lot of money this time..."
"Actually, this matter came out when I went out to talk to Ding Haifeng this time. He said that when he first learned to drive, he scraped together money borrowed from many people. Last time in Italy, he risked his life rather than money because he didn't want to lose money. He took the exam Traffic regulations are passed once and for all like you and me, but I struggled with the road test several times, so I thought if I could get a driving training class."
"Are you going to start a driving training class?"
"What I was thinking about on the way back was, Tong Lele, you, Lei Lanting and I can guide other Chinese students who don't speak the language well to pass the written test and road test. We also have a car, but it was troublesome to recruit students at the beginning. But we are not in a hurry. You can take your time and do it slowly. If there are students with good qualifications and willingness, they can sign up as drivers, and the good ones can then be trained as tour guides. This way, you can earn income and solve the problem of the shortage of tour guides in Lebai. "
"The idea is good, but the question is, are there so many people willing to learn to drive?" Dong Qiangqiang questioned, "Even if there are many people who want to learn to drive, the driving fee is a big expense for most international students. You can take it out.”
"It's hard to say. Ding Haifeng said that there are many rich students in East Germany who don't study. They just use their parents' money to spend every day building things. Many of them want to learn to drive but their German is not good enough. What I think is that we can target Chinese students all over Germany, take your time, it doesn't matter if there aren't many people at first, the training price is set at a mid-range price. Nowadays, driving lessons usually cost a few thousand euros, so it shouldn't be a problem to spend a few hundred euros on a training class, right? Germany There are no Chinese services in the driving school training classes, they don’t know how to rent a car by themselves, and there is no teacher’s hands-on Chinese teaching, so I think there is a chance.” Lao Bai looked determined.
"Pessimists are often right, and optimists are often successful." Dong Qiangqiang put his hand on Lao Bai's shoulder and encouraged, "Don't think so much, just do it!"
"Anyway, we don't have to rely on this to eat now, just take it one step at a time. It's just that travel agencies don't seem to allow this kind of training. Next week I will ask Lele to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to see if we can add items to the company's business scope. If it doesn’t work, then register a new company to do this specifically.”
"Mr. Bai's business is getting bigger and bigger. It's gratifying..." Seeing Lao Bai doing business one after another, Dong Qiangqiang was envious and happy. He made up his mind to return all the money from the withdrawal of shares. Lao Bai, ask him to do a good job in training. The advance capital needs to be thick.
"Mr. Bai, don't talk nonsense. I originally wanted to get you to do this together." Lao Bai said sadly.
Dong Qiangqiang grinned bitterly. Why didn't he want to do things with these friends? Especially since he is about to drop out of school and has multiple jobs and multiple incomes.
While he was talking, the soft music in the men's room stopped abruptly, and when it started again, it had appropriately changed into melancholy blues jazz.
At this moment, the bell above the door of the men's room rang. Lei Lanting opened the door and walked in from the outside, but looked behind him: "Old Ding, your way of fighting without your life is just like that of Old Dong." Exactly the same..."
As soon as he said this, he noticed someone in the men's room. He turned his head subconsciously and saw two pairs of eyes staring at him. They were Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai. He couldn't help but froze in place.
The person following him was unexpectedly surprised by his sudden stop and bumped into his back: "Hey..."
"What are you two doing?" Lei Lanting pointed at the two of them with a puzzled look on his face, "Talking behind our backs?"
"Hey, it's Brother Bai and Brother Dong. We're still waiting for you to drink..." Ding Haifeng was not as sensitive as Lei Lanting. After saying that, he walked into the nearest cubicle to pour water.
"Don't write about the couple. The rest should be as vivid and twisty as possible so that readers can feel involved." After Lao Bai finished explaining, he turned around and left the men's room.
Lei Lanting stared at his back in confusion, and asked Dong Qiangqiang behind him with disbelief: "You two have been talking about this here for so long?"
Dong Qiangqiang smiled, but before he could answer him, the cell phone in his pocket rang like a rescue. He waved to Lei Lanting and walked out, leaving Lei Lanting, who had a lawsuit on his head, in the men's room.
