At noon, Li He had just finished his lunch. He couldn't find Dong Hao, so he asked Qiu Liang, "Where is he?"
"Mr. Li, what's the matter? I'll follow you." Qiu Liang put on his clothes, thinking that Li He was going out.
"You're not going out, so I came to ask." Li He gestured for Qiu Liang not to move.
Qiu Liang thought for a moment and said, "Today, Brother Zhang Bing is moving. He's treating us to a drink. Brother Dong is going with him."
"Hey." Li He said angrily, "You didn't even invite me to move?"
Qiu Liang said, "Brother Zhang said that you were too busy, so I didn't want to bother you."
Li He asked, "Why didn't you go?"
"We're on duty today." Qiu Liang pointed to Ma Ke, who was next to him. Ma Ke was replaced after Du Xiao was fired.
When Dong Hao and Zhang Bing came back, they saw Li He. They didn't dare to greet him. They were leaning against the wall and tiptoeing to their dormitory.
"Yo, you drank a lot." Li He teased the two of them, whose faces were red.
"Boss Li." Zhang Bing was pushed to the front by Dong Hao. He looked very embarrassed.
Li He smiled and said, "What's wrong? You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as moving? "
"Boss Li, it's just a small matter. You're doing big things. I'm afraid of delaying you." Zhang Bing had a plan. Although Li He treated him very well and called him a brother, he knew himself well. To put it bluntly, he was still working for Li He. He couldn't take advantage of him.
He knew that he and Li He were not on the same level at all.
If he invited Li He, he was sure that Li He would definitely come. He would be respected, but people would gossip about him. People would probably say that he didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Don't you know better than anyone that I'm busy every day?" Li He asked with a smile.
"Boss Li, I …" Zhang Bing's face turned even redder.
"Alright, I'm not blaming you." Li He understood that he was now alone, and in many people's minds, if it wasn't something that could be done in public, they wouldn't be able to invite him, Li Lao Er. Therefore, it was right for him to quit drinking now, because there weren't many people who would even invite him to drink.
"Thank you, Boss Li He." Zhang Bing and Dong Hao were finally let go by Li He and ran away.
After returning to their room, the two of them were still wiping their sweat.
Dong Hao complained, "I told you earlier that you'd better inform him. Otherwise, Boss Li will think that you have a problem with him. You didn't even invite him to drink."
Zhang Bing said with a bitter face, "Let's not talk about other things. You can't even get past the proprietress. Don't you see that he can't drink at home now? If we dare to take him out to drink, the proprietress won't let it go."
Thinking of He Fang, he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't afford to offend her.
"That's true." Dong Hao nodded in agreement. He punched Zhang Bing and said, "You're really fast this time. The renovation is really good. It's better than most of the people in the city."
"This time, my wife has grown up. I originally thought that she was afraid of spending money and would just simply lay the floor. Who would have thought that she was willing to spend so much money this time? The furniture needs solid wood, the ceiling needs a suspended ceiling, and the kitchen needs a hood. Just the lamps alone cost 1200!"
Dong Hao said, "She has thought it through. You can earn it, and she has let go of the flowers. There's nothing wrong with that."
Zhang Bing snorted, "Even I can't think it through. How can she think it through? She is thinking long-term. She said that if the renovation is beautiful, it will be easier for her son to find a wife in the future! Don't you think that's blind thinking? How old is my son! "
"She is thinking long-term." Dong Hao held back his laughter.
"Don't be so sarcastic." Zhang Bing rolled his eyes at him and handed him a cigarette. "Aiya, this boss is giving us a hard time to quit smoking."
He Fang attributed the reason for Second Brother Li's failure to quit smoking to the environment. He was surrounded by people who smoked. How could Second Brother Li endure it?
If he had fewer friends who smoked, he might be able to quit smoking.
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.
Zhang Bing and Dong Hao were very self-aware. From then on, they did not smoke in front of Li He. Otherwise, they would not be able to take the blame!
"It's only when we go out. If we don't go out, we can smoke however we want." Dong Hao did not care. He was a heavy drinker, and he even started to learn from Second Brother Li to quit drinking!
Anyway, for a job, for a high salary, all the sacrifices were worth it!
Now, he only hoped that after two years, he could get a residence in the city like Zhang Bing. When that time came, he could bring his whole family over, and his life would be wonderful.
Of course, it was not that he did not have greater goals. For example, like Ding Shiping, he could use his relationship with Li He to send his children to Hong Kong or even overseas to study.
However, what he did not expect was that this wish would come true so quickly. That night, his wife called him and told him that his son could study abroad.
"Who did it?" This was the first thing Dong Hao asked. It was definitely not Li He, because Li He did not greet him.
"Boss Wang, aiya, you are not working for him anymore, but he is still so kind. You did not make a friend for nothing." His wife said excitedly on the phone.
"Wang Yuan?" Dong Hao thought of him first.
"Who else could it be other than him?"
"You agreed?" Dong Hao felt that something was wrong.
"You didn't agree. How could I dare to agree?" His wife could not hide her excitement on the phone. "I heard that going abroad costs hundreds of thousands. If it was just a few hundred dollars, I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't dare to accept such a big favor."
"At least you understand." Dong Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Although he used to work for Wang Yuan, they had not contacted each other for a long time. Suddenly receiving such a big gift made his heart beat faster.
"Then I'll agree?"
"You can't agree," Dong Hao said resolutely. "Why should we accept such a big gift?"
"The two of you are comrades-in-arms. You even worked for him for so many years and got along so well. If you really feel bad about it, we can raise the money ourselves. Let him spend some effort to contact the school." His wife revealed her plan. As long as it was good for her son's future, she was willing to spend the money. Moreover, her family did not lack the tens of thousands.
"I have many comrades-in-arms! There were even more rich people! Why don't I see them being generous? "Dong Hao said impatiently." You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it. "
"Sigh, this concerns our son's future. You can't be careless." His wife did not forget to remind him.
"What are you worrying about?" Dong Hao hung up the phone.
It was a sleepless night.
The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, he stood in front of Li He and finally told him everything.
"What has Wang Yuan been doing recently?" Li He only cared about slurping the porridge and did not raise his head.
