"Can't you stop going because of me? I have promised my colleagues to take you there, and Sun Yan has told our colleagues everything about us."
"...This competition is very important to me. It only happens once a year. It is part of my dream, so I really can't cancel it. When I come back, it will be your birthday next month. I will have a birthday party then.
, invite all your colleagues over." Hong Tao held it in for a long time, but still failed to agree to Zhuge Fei's request. He once thought about delaying it for another year before participating in the competition, but he had experienced marriage in his previous life, and that dream
It had never come true in his previous life, and he didn't want to waste his second chance to realize his dream because of family and marriage ties.
After Hong Tao rejected the girl's request, the two of them went from walking to rushing. Hong Tao took the initiative to apologize to the girl several times and then talked about other topics, but the girl didn't pick up the conversation. This made Hong Tao a little depressed.
Annoyed, what annoys him the most is that women use this cold war method to torture men. If there are any issues, they can discuss them, or even quarrel. Is there no reason to argue? But this kind of cold war is very, very hurtful to feelings. It is a small thing in the first place.
One thing may be kept fermented in the heart and turn into a kind of dissatisfaction with the other party. If this emotion is not properly relieved, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two parties, and then the vicious circle will get worse.
.
But Hong Tao really doesn't have much to do with this kind of person who has a naughty personality. As long as you don't meet her expectations, she will instinctively show this personality. Maybe she doesn't know it herself. No matter what the girl is like
Thinking about it, Hong Tao already had a shadow in her heart. This is the beginning of her dream. It is just a short-term competition. If her dream can be realized step by step in the future, and she can go fishing all over the country or the world, then she will
Support me?
With a hint of melancholy, Hong Tao boarded the 127 train heading south alone. Wang Jian originally wanted to accompany him to the competition, but Hong Tao stopped him. He was no longer a child, and others were not full-time nannies.
There are also other people's work and family. Even if others have good intentions, they cannot just give up. Friends cannot become a burden to their friends. Such friendships will not last long.
The city of Bengbu is right on the Huaihe River. It is an important railway transportation hub between the north and the south of China. Although Hong Tao never stayed in this city in his previous life, he has passed by this city many times. Whether you are going to Shanghai
Or heading towards Nanjing, this is where the train must pass.
Since Hong Tao has only been in the fishing circle for a short time and has few out-of-town fishing friends, he has no local guides or friends. Fortunately, the organizing committee of the fishing competition has specially prepared a gathering place for out-of-town fishermen.
Bengbu is not a big city. After leaving the train station, Hong Tao quickly found the New East Asia Building not far to the east of the station and checked in here.
After putting all the luggage and fishing gear back in the room, Hong Tao found the fishing competition organizing committee office on the fourth floor according to the room number written on the competition notice. This was actually a hotel suite that was temporarily rented to receive fishermen from all over the world.
At this time, there were already several fishermen in the room who had come earlier and were chatting with people from the organizing committee. When they saw Hong Tao coming in, everyone just glanced at him briefly and didn't pay attention.
"Hello, I'm here to exchange my participation certificate. This is my notice." Hong Tao didn't say hello to anyone else. He walked directly to the only desk and said to a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk.
.
"Oh, wait a minute. Lao Zhang, I'm here to report. Come out quickly." After hearing Hong Tao's explanation, the middle-aged man shouted to the back room, stood up and went to sit somewhere else.
"Oh, hello, which competition area are you from?" A big fat man came out of the back room, fatter than the tall fat man, and slowly sat on the chair.
"I'm from the Beijing competition area, and this is my notice." Hong Tao handed the other party the notice issued by the organizing committee.
"Beijing competition area? Why has the trend changed this year? Heijiu and Erquan are going back more and more. They can't even catch a young man." The fat man looked at the notice without saying anything, opened the drawer and started looking for things, but
From the sofa behind Hong Tao, a voice sounded very rude.
Hong Tao looked back and saw only three people sitting on the couch. They were all in their 40s. They looked like the owner who had been exposed to wind and sun all year round. His face, forearms, and calves were the same color, and his upper arms were the same color.
The thighs are another color.
"Hey, do you know Erquan? Why didn't he and Heijiu come?" The man sitting in the middle, who spoke Tianjin dialect, asked rudely when Hong Tao turned around.
"Erquan can't come, so I gave him a good beating. He's lying at home recovering from his injuries. It's all because of his bad mouth." Hong Tao felt a little bit beaten-up when he saw that he was sitting like a boneless figure and squinting at people.
Getting angry, he also spoke back with very rude words.
"Hey, let me tell you, where did you jump out of here and beat up Erquan? Erquan is my brother. If you dare to lay a finger on him, I'll take a look." The Tianjin native almost gave up on Hong Tao's words.
After somersaulting, he immediately stood up from the sofa in an aggressive manner, pointed a finger at Hong Tao and started to challenge him.
"You, it's too late. Your brother is lying down at home. If you don't believe me, call and ask. Also, I would like to advise you, if you are older, you shouldn't be so rude. Oh...oh...who are you calling?
What? Don't you know how to be polite when you go out? Did you and Erquan both learn from the same master?" Hong Tao's mood was not very high to begin with. Who would have thought that he would meet such a 250-year-old when he first came here?
He raised the fire and simply put the documents in his hands on the fat man's desk. He took two steps forward and stood face to face with the Tianjin man. His tone was calm but his sharp words hurt him.
"Hey, I'm just confused, there's no one in Beijing! You're such a bastard, do you know it's fishing? Just go here, there are people here, you know? When we were fishing, you were still there
I don’t know where to mix the mud.” When the Tianjin people saw that Hong Tao was not caught, they immediately changed their tune and stopped mentioning the matter of Erquan and started talking about their fishing qualifications.
"Is it useful to say that? You mean to rank according to age after coming here? I'm just competing with you. Let's compete tomorrow. Who loses and who sticks out the pole on the spot? Don't you?
Did you have a good time? Do you dare to bet? If you don’t dare to gamble, don’t come here to embarrass yourself. If a 10-year-old child tells me this now, I will bet with him immediately. Do you dare?" Hong Tao was scared when he saw this person.
, you know that he is also the kind of guy who is better at bluffing than anyone else, and is weaker than anyone else when it comes to his true ability. He immediately cuts off the opponent's escape route, and uses words to convince him that he must make this bet with him.
On the one hand, it is to give myself an outlet, and on the other hand, it is also for the people here to see, so as not to be deceived by others.
"Oops... Oops... I said you two were so angry as soon as you met. You came all the way here to have a quarrel. Young man, calm down. Lao Guo just asked like that. He didn't mean anything else." Seeing this.
Hong Tao pressed forward step by step. The two people who were sitting next to the Tianjin man and wanted to watch the excitement quickly stood up and tried to pull their hands.
"No, it doesn't matter if it's someone else. He said he is Erquan's brother, so I have to compete. I'm bullying the elderly if we compete. Aren't we here to fish? It's just fishing. How about it?
You yelled so much nonsense just now, are you going to back down now? If you're afraid of embarrassment, don't come out and show off your strength. How about you guys, let's have a round?" Hong Tao didn't follow their tactics, and directly hit the person in front of him with his hands.
He pulled away, took a step forward, and stood face to face with the Tianjin man, and his words became even worse.
"Am I afraid of you? Am I afraid of you? Isn't it just a bet? I'll let you, a little kid, go home crying." The Tianjin people finally lost their composure. At this time, several more fishermen came into the house, plus
There are already nearly 10 people among the original group. If the momentum weakens, let alone winning or losing the game, we will not be able to mix in this circle in the future.
