Han Jiulin, He Qisi and Cai Qingman left the calligraphy and painting auction site together. At this time, the place had become a mess, and Han Jiulin naturally had no interest in staying.
Originally, He Qisi wanted He Feng to leave with them, but He Feng was unwilling to just leave.
After all, he knew more or less everyone at the calligraphy and painting auction, so he stayed, planning to wait for everyone to calm down later, mediate and ease the conflicts between them.
After the three of them came out, He Qisi suggested that everyone have a meal together. The original schedule for the calligraphy and painting auction was to wait until the auction ended in the morning and then have dinner at Longfengxiang Tea House at noon. But now the calligraphy and painting auction has become like this.
The dinner party was naturally aborted.
However, on the way, Cai Qingman suddenly received a call again. He had something urgent to deal with, so he had no choice but to leave first with regret.
Han Jiulin and He Qisi were left, and He Qisi said: "I just want to invite you to dinner today, just as an apology for bumping into your car that day. I wonder what you want to eat?"
"Whatever, I think that Sichuan restaurant is good." Han Jiulin pointed to a Sichuan restaurant not far away.
"Okay, let's eat here." Cai Qingman nodded, parked the car at the door of the Sichuan restaurant, and the two of them walked in.
It was already lunch time. There were many guests in the restaurant, but it was not full. The waiter brought Han Jiulin to an empty seat.
The two of them ordered two dishes each and asked the waiter to go down and get busy.
The food in the restaurant was served very quickly. Three of the four dishes ordered by the two of them were served very quickly.
The dishes here tasted good and were quite authentic, so Han Jiulin and the two started eating.
After a while, a male waiter came over with the last dish of braised prawns and served Han Jiulin the fourth dish.
Before he put down the dishes, the man suddenly froze, looked at He Qisi with wide eyes, and shouted: "Sisi, is that you?"
He Qisi's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She looked up at the male waiter and said in astonishment: "Wang Xu, why are you here?"
She looked the man named Wang Xu up and down, and said in confusion: "I heard that after graduation, you did very well, started your own business very successfully, and became a big boss. How come you are working in this restaurant?"
of?"
Wang Xu was wearing a Sichuan restaurant employee uniform with an apron tied in front. He was a little greasy and fat, and looked depressed.
Hearing He Qisi's question, Wang Xu said bitterly: "I was doing pretty well before, but I was taken in by a friend not long ago and got into gambling. I went to Huanyin Square for less than half a month, and then I got into gambling.
All assets were completely lost.
In order to pay off the debt, my company had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and all my personal assets were frozen and seized.
All my former friends have now cut off contact with me and have closed the door to me. They and I wish we could become people in two different worlds."
Having said this, Wang Xu sighed and said: "I was really embarrassed and had no other choice, so I came here to work because I had no other choice.
Working here is a bit tiring and a bit dirty, but at least I take care of food and housing, and I can finally live here."
Wang Xu seemed to have looked past it. Although this past incident was a bit difficult to talk about, people were at a low point and all their former friends had lost contact. Now when he saw an old classmate with whom he had a close relationship when he was in school, he couldn't help but tell her.
I told him about my situation.
He Qisi sighed, and said with some helplessness and anger: "Gambling is very harmful to people. Throughout the ages, how many people have died because of gambling. How could you, a highly motivated person in the past, be infected with something like that?"
Wang Xu said: “Because I was too motivated before, I never played anything, I didn’t dare to play with anything, and I didn’t dare to touch it.
Once you have achieved something, you become arrogant, and when you get involved in those things, you become obsessed and fall into it.
It wasn't until I lost everything and had nothing left, that I suddenly realized how wrong I was.
Before that, all I thought about every day was how to win more and how to win back what I lost, and then I got deeper and deeper into it, as if I was possessed and unable to extricate myself."
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" He Qisi asked.
Wang Xu lowered his head, but his eyes that were originally filled with self-blame and regret flashed faintly. After a moment of thought, he said firmly: "Sooner or later, I will make a comeback, start a business again, and get back all that I have lost.
But now I am penniless and have no start-up capital at all, so I can only work here for the time being and live on for a while."
"Well! That's how it should be. You can't give up on yourself just because of a setback."
After He Qisi nodded, she raised her eyebrows and asked: "How much start-up capital will you need for your second business?"
Wang Xu was overjoyed and said: "It's not much. I've calculated it. I can start with one hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand, otherwise, I'll invest one hundred thousand for you." He Qisi thought for a moment and then suggested with a smile.
Wang Xu clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Really? That's great. If my business succeeds, I'll count you as a shareholder. If my business fails, I'll borrow it from you and pay it back to you later!"
"It's okay, as long as you can live your life again as you were before, that's better than anything else."
He Qisi smiled and took out a bank card and said: "There is exactly one hundred thousand in it, you can use it."
"Sisi, thank you so much!" Wang Xu reached out to receive the card in surprise.
But at this moment, Han Jiulin on the side was one step ahead of him and pressed down the bank card with his hand.
He Qisi and Wang Xu looked at Han Jiulin together. He Qisi asked: "Mr. Han, what's wrong?"
A stern look flashed across Wang Xu's eyes, his voice changed slightly, and he asked with a smile on his face: "Sir, Sisi and I are college classmates. She invested 100,000 yuan in me. Doesn't it bother you?
, what do you mean?"
Han Jiulin glanced at Wang Xu lightly and said to He Qisi: "I suggest you think about it again. How can you be sure that he is really going to start a business with this money? What if he takes this 100,000 and runs away again?
What about gambling?”
He Qisi frowned and said, "Probably not. He has already said it and now he knows he was wrong. Moreover, I don't want to look at a person who has made a mistake through colored glasses."
Wang Xu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I already know that after getting lost, nine times out of ten I lose, so how could I still gamble?"
Seeing this, Han Jiulin shook his head slightly, took his hand back, picked up his chopsticks and ate silently.
Without Han Jiulin's obstruction, Wang Xu successfully received the 100,000 yuan given by He Qisi and thanked him repeatedly.
He Qisi laughed and said: "Okay, we are old classmates of many years, why are you so polite? You go and do your work."
Wang Xu immediately turned around and left with a smile.
He Qisi looked at Han Jiulin and said, "Mr. Han, I know you are worried that I will be cheated, but I understand that this classmate of mine is a very self-disciplined person.
This time he accidentally got involved in gambling and lost everything. He will definitely learn from it and change his ways.
Now that I have met him, I can help him a lot."
Han Jiulin did not express any opinion, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I understand, let's eat."
