"Have you told your parents about your relationship?"
Speaking of this, Su Ruochu suddenly looked at Zhou Honghai nervously.
"Brother Hong Hai, you have to keep this matter a secret for us, and you must not let it slip."
Zhou Honghai chuckled, "It seems that I haven't said anything yet."
"I understand, your brother Hong Hai is also from your age."
"Don't worry. I will keep your secrets."
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table and Chen Fan greeted.
"Eat first, let's talk while we eat."
Then he picked up a bottle of beer and said, "Brother Hong Hai, let's have some drinks?"
Zhou Honghai did not refuse and took the beer bottle with a smile.
"Okay, I never had the chance to drink with you back home, so let me take this opportunity to test your drinking capacity."
Su Ruochu said quickly: "Chen Fan can't drink too much."
Zhou Honghai clicked his tongue.
"Look, I haven't even passed the door yet, and I'm already guarding you."
"What are you talking about?"
Su Ruochu blushed and felt a little overwhelmed with embarrassment.
Chen Fan explained with a smile: "I rarely drink. Today, Brother Hong Hai is here. As the host, I will make an exception and apply to my wife to have two drinks with you."
Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan.
Who is your wife?
Zhou Honghai waved his hands with a smile.
"Chen Fan, what you said is wrong."
"Why are you the host?"
"You know, a few years ago, I also studied in Yunhai University for four years."
"This is also half of my hometown."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, I said something wrong. I'll punish myself first."
As he spoke, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"light and spacious."
Zhou Honghai picked up the cup and had a drink with him.
We are all acquaintances, so we don’t have to be wary when chatting with each other, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is very harmonious.
Zhou Honghai has a very good character and a high emotional intelligence, so he has always firmly controlled the topic at the dinner table.
During this period, he also told Chen Fan and Chen a lot about their college years.
"Hey, there are actually a lot of college student couples, but there are very few who can actually get through to the end after graduation."
"Love ultimately lost to reality, to houses, cars, distance and time..."
Having said this, Zhou Honghai picked up his wine glass and drank by himself.
It seems that he also had an unforgettable love during college.
"Chen Fan, Ruochu, it's not easy for you two to go from high school classmates to university. I wish you two can persevere and get married."
As he spoke, Zhou Honghai poured another glass of wine and held it up.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Chen Fan smiled and drank with him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit sad, Chen Fan took the initiative to change the topic.
"Brother Hong Hai, what's the matter with coming to Yunhai this time? I wonder if we can be of any help?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and waved his hand.
"I came here mainly to meet and get together with some old classmates and friends from back then."
"When we graduated that year, some of our classmates went to graduate school and started their own businesses."
"Many classmates chose to stay in Yunhai, but I stupidly returned to my hometown..."
"As a result, several years have passed and everyone is doing well. Only I am still standing still."
Seeing that Zhou Honghai seemed to have something in his words, Chen Fan took the initiative to clink glasses with him.
"What happened?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly: "Can you see this?"
Chen Fan thought to himself, you are showing all your worries on your face, if you can't see it anymore, wouldn't I be a fool?
Su Ruochu also asked with concern.
"Brother Hong Hai, are you worried?"
After taking a depressed sip of wine, Zhou Honghai sighed.
"Don't mention it."
"The computer school in my hometown can no longer be opened. I closed it last month."
Chen Fan was stunned.
"closed?"
"Isn't business pretty good before?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly: "Business was good before because I used you for advertising at that time, plus it was summer vacation and there were many students."
"Now that students have started school, Los Angeles is a small place, and parents don't have such a long-term perspective."
“After all, there are still a small number of people who are willing to spend money to let their children learn computers.”
"I've been running this store on and off for almost two years, barely making ends meet, but I'm about to turn 30 this year, and if I continue like this, I feel like I'm going to be completely useless..."
Zhou Honghai shook his head, "I chatted online with my old classmates some time ago. Looking at everyone's glamorous appearance, I feel that I have simply wasted my time in the past few years."
"So I gritted my teeth and closed the school."
"All the computers will be disposed of cheaply. I don't plan to go back to Yunhai this time."
Chen Fan asked curiously: "Are you planning to start a business in Yunhai?"
Zhou Honghai shook his head, "I can't say for sure."
"An old classmate of mine chose to continue his postgraduate studies back then. He will graduate soon this year."
"I was chatting with me a few days ago and told me that I was planning to start a business and asked me if I was interested."
"I came here this time to meet and chat with him to see if there are any good business opportunities together."
Zhou Honghai said with emotion: "I must try my best while I still have dreams in life, otherwise I will really have no chance when I get older."
Looking at Zhou Honghai in front of him, Chen Fan suddenly felt something in his heart.
Got a new idea.
How about inviting Zhou Honghai to be the manager of Chujian Internet Cafe?
First of all, Zhou Honghai majored in computer science, which is his professional counterpart.
Moreover, the two of them are acquaintances and understand each other fairly well.
In addition, Su Ruochu's relationship is there.
Chen Fan felt that his idea was really good.
But what Zhou Honghai said just now proves that he still has dreams and motivation in his heart.
Chen Fan was not sure if the other party would agree if he sent out an invitation.
After thinking about it, Chen Fan decided to test the other party's thoughts first.
"What is your senior's entrepreneurial project?"
Zhou Honghai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I don't know. I know that apart from me and a few classmates I know, everyone is not willing to work for others."
"When I come here this time, I'm just going to have a good chat with them and see what everyone thinks."
have to!
After a long relationship, Zhou Honghai didn't even finalize his business project.
After eating, Su Ruochu asked the waiter for a bag to pack the rest of the meal.
Chen Fan accompanied Zhou Honghai to the corridor outside to smoke.
"Can you smoke?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and joked.
Chen Fan didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Yes. But I won't smoke in front of Ruochu."
"What a comrade."
Zhou Honghai patted Chen Fan on the shoulder.
Chen Fan had a wry smile on his face, lowered his head and played with the cigarette in his hand.
"Brother Hong Hai, if your classmate's entrepreneurial project hasn't been decided yet, would you like to find a job first?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't want to go back to my hometown."
"If my classmates are unreliable, of course I will have to find a job."
"Then I have a job here. I wonder if you are interested."
…
"Internet cafe manager?"
Zhou Honghai was confused.
"What is an Internet cafe?"
"You can think of it as a comprehensive Internet cafe, where you can not only surf the Internet, but also have other entertainment..."
Zhou Honghai asked puzzledly: "When did Yunhai have an Internet cafe?"
"It just opened two months ago."
"How do you know they are in need of a manager?"
Zhou Honghai smiled and joked: "Even if someone is short of a manager, they can't find one like me. They must be looking for someone with work experience..."
"Unless you are the boss, the Internet cafe owner would be stupid to find a stupid young man like me with no work experience..."
Chen Fan smiled.
"You're right. I'm that stupid young man."
Zhou Honghai was stunned.
Chen Fan looked at the other person and nodded.
"I just opened the Internet cafe in Yunhai."
