Naturally, he took off one of the headphones from his ear and placed it on Zhou Chen's ear. The two of them leaned against the guardrail quietly.
"sorry."
Gao Xinyi suddenly apologized, "Obviously I ran away from home on my own. My mother must have misunderstood you, so she went to find you. Didn't you get punished by my mother?"
Zhou Chen was very happy after hearing this: "If you are apologizing for this, then there is no need. When your mother came to me, she was indeed very fierce, but I was not polite and said several words to her, but you didn't notice.
Your mother was so angry."
"Really?"
Gao Xinyi suddenly looked surprised: "You really had a quarrel with my mother? She is so fierce."
"It's not really a quarrel, but we did exchange a few words. Your mother is very fierce, and I'm not bad either. I'm more fierce than anyone else."
As he spoke, he deliberately showed a fierce expression.
Not to mention, he came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and suddenly showed such a fierce expression, which really shocked the unprepared Gao Xinyi.
But Zhou Chen quickly calmed down his expression, and Gao Xinyi couldn't help but pat his chest.
"Wow, you were really scary just now. I was shocked by you. You can become an actor with your acting skills."
"Yeah, it's fierce enough. Your mother was also frightened by me at the time, and then she became much more polite to me."
Gao Xinyi snorted, but didn't believe it at all. She admitted that Zhou Chen's fierce look just now was quite intimidating, but she didn't think her mother would be intimidated by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen asked: "Why did you run away from home again this time?"
Gao Xinyi turned sideways, looked at Zhou Chen steadily, and replied: "I resigned, and it's true this time."
But Zhou Chen just smiled casually and said easily: "Isn't it just resignation? What's the big deal, do you have to run away from home?"
"That's because you don't understand my mother. My mother asked someone to find me my job. In the eyes of others, it is a rare and good job. My mother will definitely scold me to death if she knows that I have resigned.
I didn’t want to listen to her nagging, so I came out; I originally wanted to find you, but when I thought about it, if I ran away from home, my mother would definitely go to your place to find me as soon as possible, so I didn’t go.
I looked for you but didn’t contact you.”
"Zhou Chen, tell me, how long have you been looking for me? Are you particularly worried about me if you can't find me?"
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "You are overthinking. I didn't look for you for long. After I learned from your mother that you ran away from home, I came here to look for you as soon as possible."
"Then why are you so sure I'm here? Can't I go somewhere else?"
"Although you are rebellious, you are not stupid. You will not go to dangerous and unsafe places. You brought me to this place. When I look for you, of course I will start with the places you took me to."
"You are smart."
Gao Xinyi is still relatively happy that Zhou Chen can find her, which shows that Zhou Chen really cares about her and understands her.
"But now that you've resigned, are you going to imitate me and become an unemployed vagrant?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Gao Xinyi stretched out: "I just haven't figured out what I want to do yet, and I'm still a little confused about the future. Zhou Chen, you are so smart, can you give me some advice?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chen said: "Honestly speaking, the choice your mother gave you was not wrong. From a life perspective, the job your mother found for you was the one with the fewest detours, the least hardship, and the least bumpy future.
, as long as you continue step by step, your life will be more comfortable than most people in the world."
"But this is not the life I want. I really have no enthusiasm at all for the work that I can see at a glance. It's too boring and boring."
"You are a typical hard-to-eat type."
Zhou Chen understands Gao Xinyi's thoughts very well. He has never experienced severe beatings from society and has no idea how cruel the outside society is.
But in fact, he can also understand her, because he also had similar experiences to Gao Xinyi at the beginning. After working in a state-owned enterprise for several years, he really saw everything at a glance.
It is true that the end of the universe is fabrication, but for those who are passionate about life, what they like is not the same, but tossing, tossing, and tossing again.
"If you really don't want to be arranged, then do what you like to do. What do you like to do?"
"have no idea."
Gao Xinyi's answer was very simple, and her eyes were full of confusion.
"Really, I don't know what I want to do. I just feel that my current job is boring, but I don't know what I want to do. When I grow up, even if I go to college and choose a major, it is all arranged by my mother.
, I really don’t know what I want to do.”
"I don't know, so I'll think about it slowly. But now, it's time to eat. I haven't eaten yet. The world is huge and eating is the biggest thing."
"Ha ha."
Gao Xinyi suddenly burst into laughter without any image, and they were having a good conversation about a serious topic. However, Zhou Chen turned around and said that he was going to eat, which was a bigger leap than her.
"Zhou Chen, to be honest, I have never met anyone with a better mentality than you. I have also met many rich people, but they are still very busy. You are different from those rich second generations who love to play.
, is this what you mean by lying down?"
She knew about Zhou Chen's situation. She didn't go to work at all, and she didn't see any goals. She did nothing all day long. During the few days she was with her, they even played everywhere together. She didn't feel any urgency at all. It was simply better than those who retired.
Old men and women should relax.
"Yes, this is called lying down, and it is also called enjoying life. But you are still young and your level is not high enough to reach my level."
"Hey, you are only a few years older than me. You sound like you are dozens of years older than me."
Gao Xinyi also admitted that she really couldn't be like Zhou Chen. She just didn't like her current job, but it didn't mean that she didn't want to do anything. She was still passionate about life, but she hadn't found the direction she wanted to work on.
That's all.
"Let's go and eat. I happen to be hungry too."
After dinner, Gao Xinyi took Zhou Chen and said, "I ran away from home, and I can't find anyone else I can trust except you, so I still have to rely on you."
"No problem, just get another room."
"But we have to change hotels, otherwise my mother will come to visit us again. I don't want to go home yet."
"It's less than a month until the Chinese New Year. That's fine with me. It's the same wherever you go to celebrate the Chinese New Year alone, but aren't you planning on going home?"
"You've already said that the Chinese New Year is only a month away. Why are you so anxious? Besides, you are celebrating the Chinese New Year alone. If I stay with you, wouldn't you be lonely?"
"That's not necessary. I'm used to celebrating the New Year alone."
Indeed, he had long been accustomed to being alone on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. Loneliness existed, but he gradually no longer felt the hardship of that loneliness.
"Stop talking about this, let's go, I will take you to a place."
Gao Xinyi took Zhou Chen to a music store in the center of the city.
"Didn't you tell me last time that you were good at musical instruments? This store has many musical instruments. Let's try them."
As she said that, she sat down in front of the piano, started playing gently, and a beautiful tune came out.
"Zhou Chen, come and try."
After being forced to sit down by Gao Xinyi, Zhou Chen did not refuse. He moved his hands, put them on the piano keys, and tapped them lightly a few times. After he knew what he was doing, he started playing.
Knowing that Gao Xinyi prefers Cantonese songs, he played the song "After Leaving".
Gao Xinyi's expression changed from the moment Zhou Chen played. She has also studied piano for many years. Her level may not be very high, but she still has the ability to appreciate it. Zhou Chen's level definitely exceeded her expectations.
After the song ended, she applauded Zhou Chen excitedly. She likes to play the piano, so meeting Zhou Chen who also likes it and plays it better than her makes her feel happy and joyful from the bottom of her heart.
Next, she took Zhou Chen to try other instruments, and then she was shocked to find that no matter what instrument it was, Zhou Chen could play it skillfully.
After playing for a long time, Zhou Chen did not have sex for nothing, but bought a guitar.
According to what Gao Xinyi said, Zhou Chen packed his luggage, moved to another hotel, and opened two rooms next to each other.
Gao Xinyi stayed in Zhou Chen's room and couldn't play the guitar at night, so she watched Zhou Chen draw. When Zhou Chen drew a sketch for her, she was shocked again.
She never expected that Zhou Chen could be so versatile. He only knew how to play musical instruments, but he could even draw so well. This was so amazing. She looked up in admiration.
After changing to a hotel, Gao Yuejin really didn't come looking for him again. Gao Xinyi also stayed with Zhou Chen every day. A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Pinellia ternata yard.
Xu Banxia has been gone for a while, because all the funds were taken by Xu Banxia to buy scrap steel. The remaining funds were used to build a yard, buy materials, etc., and soon there was a shortage of funds.
In the past few days, various creditors have come to Chen Yuyu to collect debts, which has made him very anxious. Fortunately, Tong Xiaoqi has taken the responsibility with him.
"My fleet has already started taking jobs, and I will use all the money I earn by then."
"You just started selling goods, and you can't make much money. It's not enough to subsidize you. What's more, the brothers in your team also need money for the New Year, so don't post it here."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Come on, I've long been used to being called for debts. We can only wait now. As long as the fat man comes back, all the money can be paid back."
"But you have also seen that those people are getting more and more difficult now, and they are going to go on strike."
"Don't worry, it's not to that level yet. It's normal for people who do engineering to owe money."
Tong Xiaoqi suddenly said: "How about we go find Zhou Chen, he must have money, and we can borrow money from him. He has a good relationship with the boss, so he should be able to borrow it."
"no."
Chen Yuyu categorically rejected Tong Xiaoqi's proposal. He knew that Xu Banxia was unwilling to involve money with Zhou Chen, and he also knew why she thought so. They couldn't help Xu Banxia now, but they definitely couldn't hold him back.
"You must not have this idea, and don't go to others behind their backs. Trust me, we can get through it."
…………
On this day, Zhou Chen and Gao Xinyi had dinner together. Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Wild Cat, you have been out for a while. It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here. You should go home."
Gao Xinyi paused and said dissatisfied: "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to go home yet? Do you want to stop caring about me? I haven't used your money these days. I have enough money of my own."
"Am I the kind of stingy person? I let you go home for your own good, because I am going abroad in a few days."
"Going abroad?"
Gao Xinyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with great anticipation: "Where are you going? Can you take me with you? I haven't been abroad yet, and I want to go abroad."
"Don't even think about it. You have to go through a lot of procedures to go abroad. If your mother knew that I was taking you abroad, she would definitely go crazy."
Zhou Chen knew very well that with Gao Yuejin's position and ability, it would not be very difficult to find him and Gao Xinyi. But after so many days, she didn't find them, so naturally she acquiesced in Gao Xinyi's stay with him.
in one piece.
But he was limited to staying in Binhai. If he wanted to take Gao Xinyi abroad, Gao Yuejin would have to tear him apart.
Gao Xinyi muttered dissatisfiedly. She knew it was unrealistic, but she really wanted to go abroad with Zhou Chen.
"Then where are you going?"
"Tsarist Russia in the north."
"Tsarist Russia? What are you doing there?"
Gao Xinyi thought Zhou Chen was going to the United States, but he didn't expect that Zhou Chen actually said he was going to Tsarist Russia.
Zhou Chen said truthfully: "A friend of mine who invested in me is in trouble, and I'm going to go over and deal with it."
"Oh, it's about work."
When Zhou Chen said it was related to investment, Gao Xinyi didn't ask any more questions. She had heard Zhou Chen mention that he wanted to invest, but she stayed with Zhou Chen all day long and didn't see what Zhou Chen did.
It was business, so she almost forgot about it.
"But I've been out for so many days and I don't dare to go back. My mother will definitely deal with me severely."
Even though she is rebellious and brave enough to run away from home, in fact, she is still very afraid of her mother.
Zhou Chen comforted: "Don't worry, do you still remember how your mother found us last time? This time it took longer than last time. Your mother didn't come to you. She must know that you are with me. If you really want to
If I scolded you, she would have already rushed over to scold you."
Gao Xinyi also understood this truth, but said harshly: "She is so busy with work, she must have no time to take care of me."
Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head. Gao Xinyi was capable and able to endure hardships and stand hard work, but he did have a bit of a eldest lady temperament and was very stubborn. After so many days, he had clearly figured it out, but he was still stubborn.
Finally, before Zhou Chen left the country, she also returned home. Because Zhou Chen had to leave for a short time, her luggage and car were handed over to her, and she drove Zhou Chen's car back.
…………
Xu Banxia slowly opened her eyes, only to feel that her head was heavy. When she saw the roof, she turned her eyes and took another look, confirming that it was the room she lived in. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly saw someone sitting on the sofa in the room.
A figure on the top.
She sat up from the bed suddenly and shouted at the figure with a nervous look on her face: "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
The figure slowly turned its head, and when she saw it clearly, she was shocked.
