When Dong Qiangqiang suddenly heard the news, he didn't believe his ears.
Before leaving Hannover, he had specifically asked Lao Bai to find Lu Wei. However, when he talked to Lao Bai on the phone at the end of October, Lao Bai and his friends had not gained anything yet. He thought this matter would drag on for a long time, but he didn't. To think that he would be found so quickly.
He couldn't help but think of that rainy day in July, when a thin figure fell hard into a puddle, and then managed to get up from the muddy water. However, due to lack of physical strength, he and his bicycle fell into the puddle again.
Everything is vivid in my mind, everything seems like yesterday.
Du Lan heard Dong Qiangqiang briefly talk about Lu Wei's experience. Seeing that he was in a state of silence, he knew that he was probably in a state of excitement. He gently touched the back of his hand and signaled him with his eyes to ask Lao Bai about the situation.
"It'll be great if you find it. Does Lu Shan know?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"Let him tell you."
There was a buzzing sound coming from the receiver. Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely hear someone speaking in a low voice, as if he was giving in to something. After a few seconds, he heard someone shouting excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Brother Qiang! I Found my sister!"
"Congratulations on your reunion, sister and brother! Congratulations!"
"Before you left, you asked me to search in a nearby church. After you left, Brother Bai asked a few friends at the university to help me search together. Later I got discouraged, but Brother Bai kept encouraging me not to give up. As a result, that day, that day ..." Lu Shan broke down in tears as he spoke, sobbing and choking, "Brother Qiang, you...you and Brother Bai are both...my benefactors..."
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He knew that it was difficult to find someone, especially when the other person didn't want to see you.
"I didn't do anything in this matter. The credit goes to your brother Bai. You should thank him properly." Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to take credit. "But it's all over. Just find him. You have to treat your sister well."
Lu Shan was speechless when he couldn't help crying. Dong Qiangqiang was about to comfort him a few more words when Lao Bai retorted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, how can you say you didn't do anything about this? Go to the university to find someone. Was it you who suggested it? You were the one who suggested finding Dong Yiqing, right? The credit belongs to you, and being too modest is hypocrisy."
Listening to Lao Bai educating Dong Qiangqiang, Du Lan covered his mouth and walked away with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Bai taught you well, and I will remember it in my heart..."
"Also, the Lu family knew about it the day we found the person, so this is a happy ending. What you told me before is done. You have to treat me to a nice dinner next time we meet." Lao Bai pretended to blackmail.
"Haha, no problem. I'm always waiting for Mr. Bai to come to Trier for guidance. Also, where did you find the person?" Dong Qiangqiang was curious, "Church or university?"
"University. Speaking of which, thanks to Dong Yiqing this time, she not only helped me guess all the classes that Lu Wei might attend, but also helped me stay when there was not enough staff. She even stayed up very late a few times, although in the end no one was there. She didn't find it, but she played a big role, and you should know about it. This girl is very nice."
"She and Lu Wei are very good friends." Dong Qiangqiang sighed and then remembered something, "How is Lu Wei doing? When I saw her outside the post office, I felt that she didn't want to meet acquaintances."
"I guess if Lu Shan wasn't here, she would disappear, but Lu Shan is her biological brother, and she can't just hide like this for the rest of her life. She will eventually come out to meet her old friends."
"Now that the person has been found, what you promised me before..."
"What's up?"
"You said that if Lu Wei is willing, you can let her learn to be a tour guide..."
"Oh, you tell me about this. I have already mentioned it to her, and she said she would consider it. I didn't rush her. I still said the same thing: I am in need of someone now. As long as she does her job and is not afraid of hardship, I can accept her. . And if she comes too, Lu Shan should be able to stay in Hanover more securely, and the money I spent on this kid will not be in vain."
"You are now a naked businessman..." Dong Qiangqiang pretended to be disdainful, "You are full of capitalist theories that eat people without spitting out bones."
"Hehe..." Lao Bai didn't refute him this time.
"Didn't you just say that there is some good news? What else? Talking about it together makes me happy. I am almost exhausted here. Compared with Hannover, it is as comfortable as a big rural area, oh , no, it should be said that it is a rural area. Where I live now, there are chickens, ducks and geese. In a few years, I may become a professional farmer. Of course, I say this not because I hate rural areas, I just feel very uncomfortable with it. .”
"But I've always felt that your boy is very adaptable." Lao Bai said with a smile, "Why does Trier make you feel like a village?"
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences. My current feeling is that there is both hope and cruelty here." Dong Qiangqiang said carefully.
"I wish I could understand what it is, what does cruelty mean?"
"Hey, that's not right. Didn't you tell me the good news? Why did you question me instead?" Dong Qiangqiang said angrily, "Hurry up and hurry up."
"Haha, you guy just can't wait for a minute... You know I've been busy since the summer vacation, and now I finally have some clues. Xu Tongying helped me sign a few more deals in China, in addition to asking me to bring a few Overseas tour groups also introduced two Internet travel companies to me, and they were interested in 'Lebai'. Although Xu Tongying hasn't told me exactly what she wants to do, I guess she wants them to give 'Lebai' Bai' became a shareholder. They will go to Hamburg for inspection in the middle of the month, and I will go to Hamburg to communicate with them. To tell you the truth, I was bragging when I introduced 'Lebai' to them. Of course, this was what Xu Tongying meant. . With the funds, 'Lebai' will definitely develop faster. If there is specific progress by then, I will tell you. The other one is what you just mentioned, the recent registered users and active users of 'Lebai' have suddenly increased. Many, some of the users are from domestic travel agencies. We don’t know why they suddenly started to pay attention. Lele believes that the increase in users is due to the SEO you did before, which led to more and more domestic travel agencies visiting our forum. , so I asked her to find a company specializing in SEO and website optimization in China to upgrade the website and forum to see if the business could be taken to a higher level. In addition to them, Lao Lei and Lao Ding also Everything is progressing very fast, especially Lao Ding, who directly helped me recruit a small class of 12 people in East Germany. Doesn’t it sound like a fantasy? I was dumbfounded when I heard this number of people for the first time. But according to Lao Ding He said that our advantage is that there are no other international students doing this, so we can find rare goods. The disadvantage is that our prices are set high. He thinks that if it is 200 euros cheaper, at least he can save for one more class. I have already thought about it. That's it for the first period. Prices started to drop for the second period. Lao Ding was put in charge of the driving school training class, and Lele was his deputy. Also, didn't he borrow money from you last time? It's all on me. At the end of the year I’ll give you a big red envelope.” Lao Bai said a lot in one breath, without giving Dong Qiangqiang a chance to speak.
Dong Qiangqiang's blood boiled when he heard that he was gearing up. He originally wanted to give some advice, but when he remembered that he still had to study here and had no time to participate in what Lao Bai was going to do next, he instantly fainted.
Hearing that Dong Qiangqiang had disappeared, Lao Baihui misunderstood and quickly explained: "Look at my memory, you have just changed the city and you must need money. In this way, I will ask Lele to pay Lao Ding the money he owes in a while. Here you go, give Lele your bank account number..."
"It's not about money," Dong Qiangqiang knew as soon as he heard that Lao Bai had misunderstood him, "Everyone of you seems to be working hard for tomorrow, working hard, and making continuous progress. I am the only one sitting in this place where no one can shit, I... A little lost and off balance.”
"Is this what you meant by cruelty just now? Or are you frustrated and unable to make money?" Lao Bai asked directly.
"I can't tell, but I think it's not about money. If it was about money, I wouldn't resign and go abroad."
"Old Dong, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities to make money in the future. But if you want to study, I advise you to do it while you are young. Otherwise, if you want to study when you are old, your energy and time will not be allowed, and you have a degree. You will have more choices and opportunities. You are a smart person and should be able to figure this out."
"Maybe this is what our ancestors said is easier said than done." Dong Qiangqiang laughed at himself, "I understand the truth, but there are still times when I am pretentious."
"Everyone is the same. Well, I won't tell you much today. I'll take Lu Shan home later. Oh, by the way, he plans to let Lu Wei live with him. We can take care of each other. I'll see you in two months. Don’t worry if we find someone to help her move.”
"Thank you for your hard work."
Dong Qiangqiang was about to hang up when he heard Lao Bai ask: "Don't hang up yet, I have something else to tell you. You had a buddy named Jin Yuan before, right?"
"He is a classmate of our German class in China. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"He wants to learn how to drive and lead a group. He has approached me several times and said he is your good friend."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart tightened: "How did you reply to him?"
"I said I would consider it. Do you know this person's character? If I lead a group, I have to trust him. Can you trust him? If you can trust me, I can trust him."
Lao Bai's words sent Dong Qiangqiang's thoughts back to the past. He seemed to see Jin Yuan standing under the bronze horse sculpture in front of the main building of Hanover University to pay back his money. Time and space suddenly changed, and their background suddenly changed from a bronze horse to the street downstairs of Dong Qiangqiang's house in Hanover, and the figure in front of him was wearing the coat that Du Lan gave him, and still holding the money that originally belonged to him. When the space was distorted again, the familiar yet unfamiliar face was frowning and asking him: "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, those people will come over."
"I... don't know." Dong Qiangqiang muttered a few words.
"Okay, I understand, let's get in touch later. Lu Shan asked me to tell you, don't go anywhere on Christmas and New Year's Day. He and Lu Wei are going to Trier to thank you in person. Then Lele and I will check the time. , if it’s too late, we’ll all come to see you together, and please don’t not answer our calls then.”
"Warm welcome. I'll come too then." Du Lan, who walked into the room at some point, suddenly shouted behind Dong Qiangqiang.
"Then let's spread out and work hard on our own. Take care and call us if anything happens."
