After Tang Yili returned to school, she frantically made up for a few days of homework before catching up with the teaching progress.
It was almost the end of the term, and exams for many courses began one after another. Majors such as fashion design focused more on practical exercises. Tang Yili revised several versions of the design draft, but all of them were rejected.
She was a little worried.
When Xun Lang came back from vacation, they also had a hasty meal. Later, for some reason, Ms. Xun Miaoyun appeared while shopping, and Xun Lang's face grew long.
The date ended on bad terms, and later on, she didn't even know when Xun Lang would return to Jin City.
The Asian Games opens in April and is an international competition. Xun Lang has started a new round of closed training, which is longer and more intense. Tang Yili is going to rent a house in Tianjin City to live in after finishing the final exam and give Xun Lang the winter vacation.
Lang serves as a sparring partner.
After all, it is easy for relationships to have problems when they are in different places for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January. Tang Yili finally passed all the exams and walked out of the classroom. At that time, she felt that the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly.
She walked towards the dormitory and when passing by the administration building, she saw the back of a tall man.
"Shen Lang?"
When Shen Lang turned around, he also saw Tang Yili and stopped.
Tang Yili wore a long white down crotch and a brown scarf with a logo around her neck, which was wrapped several times, making her face look smaller and more delicate.
She smiled and asked: "Have you returned to Beishi? Has Xun Lang come back?"
Shen Lang hugged a box of things and shrugged, "He is still training in Tianjin. I will come back to go through the formalities for retirement."
Tang Yili was stunned and quickly reacted.
"You retired?!"
"Well, I'm retired," Shen Lang sighed with a smile. A cloud of white air covered his eyebrows, making it difficult for people to see his sadness.
Shen Lang comforted Tang Yili in turn.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me. It's not like you didn't hear what Coach Lei said that day. At my age, I won't be famous if I continue to swim, so I might as well quit."
"It's not good to occupy the position of those who come after you."
Tang Yili was indeed a little melancholy. Holding the book and standing under the warm winter sun, she still felt chilly.
She could never forget the last person to leave the stadium after the National Games, with only a few figures left behind.
"Are you sorry? Is your coach a little too ruthless?"
Shen Lang shook his head.
"You just heard Coach Lei scolding me in the bathroom, but he is actually a very good person," Shen Lang took out a letter from the top of the cardboard box and handed it to Tang Yili.
"It's a letter of appointment." Shen Lang smiled with emotion, "Being fifth in butterfly swimming in the country is nothing in the competition, but if I go to primary and secondary schools to find a job as a physical education teacher, it is still very popular. You see, people have taken the initiative to send me a letter of appointment.
.”
Tang Yili turned to the end, saw the signature of the city's key high school, and understood a little bit.
"So, your participation in the National Games was specially arranged by Coach Lei?"
"Well, Coach Lei is giving me a chance to get a ranking so that I can find a job after I retire."
Otherwise, Shen Lang wouldn't even have the chance to participate.
This somewhat refreshed Tang Yili's understanding.
She thought Lei Penshen was a layman who only looked at his grades, but she didn't know that under his scolding appearance, he still cared about his disciples.
Those who can swim should practice hard;
He didn't want to waste his youth if he couldn't swim out, so he had arranged a way out and called it retirement.
Is Ray-Ban a little sun?
Tang Yili was actually warmed up.
She smiled and congratulated Shen Lang, "Will I call you Teacher Shen from now on?"
Shen Lang also laughed, "You might want to call me Boss Shen Lang."
"Why?"
…
Now that he met Tang Yili, Shen Lang was not polite and took him directly to a closed commercial storefront.
"If you don't look for me, I will look for you," Shen Lang moved away the stacked chairs and raised a cloud of dust.
The two kept fanning the air, but they still choked and coughed.
Shen Lang: "You are a rich young lady. I have met you before. I want you to help me give advice. How about I open a bar here?"
Tang Yili carefully stepped over the broken glass under his feet and looked around.
The address of this shop is just outside University A. It is quite large, with an area of 300 to 400 square meters, but the front is slightly off. Shen Lang said that this used to be a bar, but later the boss got into a fight and was arrested, so the shop changed hands.
But Tang Yili often passed by here and never noticed it. This shows that the business of this store was not very good in the past.
As for the boss fight, she guessed it was all an excuse, just to fool Shen Lang, who was not very experienced in the world.
Tang Yili simply made a circle and asked: "The appointment letter has been issued. Are you really not going to be a teacher?"
"I'm used to being poor, but I still want to do something that will make me money quickly."
As expected, he is into sports, he is simple, straightforward and ambitious.
Tang Yili smiled and said coolly: "It's easy to lose money doing this."
"That's why I asked you to help me take a look. Apart from you, I don't know anyone else who is good at eating, drinking and having fun."
Tang Yili crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at Shen Lang, his eyes showing displeasure.
Shen Lang scratched his head and walked forward with a smile, "I am complimenting you."
Brag!
Tang Yili didn't care about fools. After seeing things clearly, he told the truth.
"I haven't tested the lights and speakers, so I can't comment on them. Just from the decoration point of view, they are a bit old. If you take over the decoration, the decoration will cost at least 1.8 million. Also, the entrance outside is blocked by the convenience store next door.
Part of it can't be seen by others passing by, so how can you welcome guests?"
"Let me see, if you really want to do this, you might as well find another place and try again."
Shen Lang pondered, looking embarrassed.
Tang Yili: "What's wrong?"
Shen Lang blinked his big innocent eyes.
"But, I've already taken it down."
…
Shen Lang made more than a dozen calls to the former owner of the bar.
At first, she still picked up the call, but later she stopped picking up the call altogether and blocked Shen Lang directly.
In short, in one sentence, if people don't refund money, the bar will take it or not.
Shen Lang was really worried this time, even more worried than letting him retire.
The money he invested in the bar this time was all the money he had saved from being an athlete for so many years. He threw it all into it just to make a living for himself. This was great, but before it even opened, it felt like all the money was wasted.
I was so worried that I couldn't even eat.
Tang Yili accompanied Shen Lang, sitting on a high chair in the convenience store next door, listening to his lamentations.
"What do you think we should do?"
"That's all my savings..."
"Isn't this boss a liar?"
"No! It's too irritating! I have to call the police!"
Shen Lang was murmuring and was about to take out his phone when he saw Tang Yili holding his chin in his hands and acting in a daze, which made him even more angry.
"You rich second generation people are too ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Tang Yili, please say something!"
Tang Yili looked at him calmly, "You finally let me speak."
"Why didn't I let you say it?" Seeing Tang Yili's face changing, Shen Lang said, "Tell me, tell me, my aunt, please tell me."
"I said, do it."
Shen Lang: "You scold me?"
Tang Yili almost lost his temper. How is the brain circuit of a sports student?!
"I mean, let's work together in this bar."
Shen Lang immediately perked up, "Are you serious?! Are you joining too? How?"
