Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

I don't know when, the Spring Festival, the most important festival for Chinese people, has become less and less attractive to Yang Zhu.

In the midst of countless New Year's call calls and the gradually lackluster Chen Ke's Spring Festival Gala, Yang Zhu spent New Year's Eve;

But fortunately, I bought a lot of fireworks and Er Tijiao, with fireworks all over the sky and the little girl's screams full of fear and excitement as embellishments, this new year is not boring.

When it comes to the first day of the Lunar New Year, it will be the door-to-door link that Yang Zhu's mother loves to hear. The whole day is either mother-in-law and daughter-in-law going out shopping arm in arm, or visiting uncles and aunts with the little girl;

Yang Zhu, who was bored at home all day long, also volunteered to sign up, wanting to accompany the little girl to visit, but was ruthlessly rejected by his mother.

According to the words of the lord mother, "A group of women whose parents are short-sighted, what are you a big man doing?"

Although I understand my mother's eagerness to show off, after all, this kind of daughter-in-law who is extremely outstanding in all aspects is unique in her circle of friends, but your attitude of forgetting your son when you have a daughter-in-law is too sad right?

Yang Zhu complained silently.

So when the mother and the others came out and saw his father stealing a bottle of Hengshui and Lao Baigan coming out, Yang Zhu quickly retreated to the house, and when he was about to use the excuse of sleeping back to sleep to escape his father's "destruction", the landline in the house The bell rang.

………………

Half an hour later, Yang Zhu got off in a passenger minibus at a fork in National Highway 315.

After walking for more than 200 meters, looking at the familiar "Bichuan Hotel" in front of him, Yang Zhu felt a little emotional, with a smile on his face involuntarily, and then opened the curtain and walked in.

"Yang Zhu, why didn't you come here until now, boy, hurry up and punish yourself!" A short, fat figure stood up and yelled in Mandarin with a slight accent.

Yang Zhu laughed, first he took the initiative to hug this short and fat guy, and then he glanced at the familiar figure on the dining table, then let go of his hand with some emotion, taking that big cup is definitely not suitable for him. Qi Lu made pie beer, and then drank it in one gulp.

Yang Zhu's current behavior, if someone who is familiar with him sees it, his jaw will drop in shock;

After all, everyone around him knows that he doesn't like drinking, except for the occasional one or two with Lao Li, even with Fengtian and the leaders of Liao Province, he will never drink more than three small gu.

Ok……

Although today is the class reunion of middle and high school, the relationship between each other is much purer, but if Yang Zhu's past temperament is followed, he will definitely not drink too much alcohol, let alone punish himself with such a big glass of beer - just kidding Well, this large glass of beer is a full 350ML. With his drinking capacity, his head has already started to feel slightly dizzy after drinking this glass.

And the fundamental reason why he was so sharp was the short, fat and chunky guy in front of him.

…………

The guy in front of me is called Zhang Mengping, nicknamed Luobo, a son of the Dianqiangui Oil Drilling Company. Because he has been brainwashed by Jin Yong Gulong all the year round, he has a very strong sense of loyalty and is also quite famous among his classmates;

It can be seen from the name of the unit that the main employees of this company are from the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and Zhang Mengping is from Zhaotong in southern Yunnan—well, yes, Zhaotong is actually not very well-known in some areas.

In fact, according to the normal trajectory, although Yang Zhu and him are classmates, they are not very close to each other, and the friendship at this time is far from enough to make him enthusiastic to this extent;

The reason why he lost his composure because of his intimacy was because of an experience in his previous life.

In his previous life, Yang Zhu stayed in a certain unit for several years. After the company closed down, he learned from the painful experience and decided to start a business.

But the word entrepreneurship sounds very romantic, but doing it is full of pain and setbacks. In just five years, Yang Zhu has experienced the heavy blows of three companies from start-up to bankruptcy, and almost collapsed;

Fortunately, due to his rich experience in front-line trading, he was inexplicably spotted by a consulting company, and invited him to become one of the business partners of the Southwest Branch, and rushed to the mountain city to carry out various tasks;

However, although he is a "business partner" in name, Yang Zhu's life in the Southwest Branch is not easy-not to mention the intrigues in the company, the key is that Yang Zhu is not familiar with the place of life here. Business simply cannot run smoothly.

So more than half a year later, the boss of the company was a little disappointed and issued the last task to Yang Zhu... Various places are planning to engage in e-commerce to help the poor, and a certain Party A of the company very much hopes to get involved in this package plan. If Yang Zhu If you can't get at least three county-level areas in the Southwest by the end of the year, then...

Desperate, Yang Zhu finally remembered a group of his old classmates. After taking out the phone book and making calls one by one to inquire about the current situation, he finally found out that Zhang Mengping was working in the poverty alleviation office of a certain county government in southern Yunnan.

Although Yang Zhu also knew that this old classmate's life was not very satisfactory, he still gave him a call just in case.

Unexpectedly, when the old classmate received Yang Zhu's call, he didn't prevaricate in any way, but only said that he would try his best to help.

Yang Zhu, who had been waiting for three days, did not receive any reply, thinking that the other party was just perfunctory. In the county seat, relevant leaders have promised to spare time to listen to the report, but Yang Zhu needs to come to interview in person.

The ecstatic Yang Zhudang killed him by plane, and after two full hours of reporting, the other party finally agreed to let Yang Zhu's Party A join in for a try—it was only later that Yang Zhu found out that in the past three days, his personality was very serious. Zhang Mengping, who was a little naughty, just became a tail for three days, and even followed others to the toilet. In the end, the leader was really annoyed, so he agreed to let Yang Zhu come over to report.

But when Yang Zhu saw Zhang Mengping's residence that night, the rented room of less than [-] square meters, the empty furniture, and the lonely noodles and old godmother on the shrinking small dining table, he knew that this old classmate had passed away. How unsatisfactory it is—according to Zhang Mengping, the salary of the Poverty Alleviation Office is actually not high. Two glasses, after the monthly salary is paid for the wine, you can only order some noodles to deal with it, let alone find a girlfriend to marry or something.

That night, the two of them got drunk with corn wine that cost 5 yuan a catty, and Zhang Mengping knew that Yang Zhu still needed to work out the cooperation between the two regions to keep his job, so he immediately patted his chest, his old classmate for nearly 20 years, Yang Zhu's life was not easy, and he would never watch him suffer.

So the next day, the old classmate licked his face and borrowed a car from a colleague, and then led Yang Zhu along the map in a daze, starting from the nearby Lin County to sweep one by one.

Although it is said that southern Yunnan attaches great importance to local friendship, and everyone can be regarded as a fellow villager, it does not make sense for a small staff member of the lowest-level poverty alleviation office in your district to bring a business representative over to get a project so recklessly.

Therefore, in the next half month, although Zhang Mengping used his stalking methods to the extreme, he still got nothing in the end.

Seeing his old classmate working so hard for his own affairs, Yang Zhu was so moved, he directly advised him to go back, otherwise it would be bad if he was punished, and his own affairs should be left to fate, at worst, return to Quancheng and start over;

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mengping refused straight away. According to this old classmate, he has failed enough in his life, and the only thing that can comfort him are two things: the first is that he still retains the most basic professional bottom line, and has never touched it. The second thing is that since he can remember, he has never been sorry for his brother; and Yang Zhu's current situation is so difficult, if he lets go, will he still be worthy of the nearly 20 years of friendship?

So in the next one and a half months, apart from having to go back to Dianmao for a meeting every Monday, Zhang Mengping took Yang Zhu to a total of [-] county governments;

Maybe God opened his eyes, or maybe Zhang Mengping's stalking skills were really exhausting. Anyway, in the end, four counties finally signed a cooperation agreement;

It is said that because of this time, Zhang Mengping was severely criticized by his leader in a meeting. If it wasn't for his seniority, plus his local + minority factors, it would be hard to say that his old classmate would lose his iron rice bowl.

As for later...

As Yang Zhu slowly established his foothold and participated in some projects, he finally successfully established a new company with enough contacts and funds, and it grew bigger and bigger;

But Zhang Mengping's kindness to help him regardless of gain or loss in his most difficult time will always be remembered in his heart; although this old classmate will become more and more weird in the future, he will refuse to accept all kinds of fancy funding from Yang Zhu; No matter how busy he is, he will always find time every one or two months, bring a lot of things, and have a good drink with him in that small town that is not well-known.

After all... the nearly two months of eating and sleeping in the open, and being loyal to someone like a fool, can be regarded as one of the most precious memories in Yang Zhu's two lifetimes.

…………

At this moment, Zhang Mengping naturally didn't know what Yang Zhu was thinking. Seeing Yang Zhu, an old classmate who had always been nicknamed "Stuffy Gourd", gave him such a warm hug as soon as he met him, he couldn't help but hit him while being suspicious. With a cold war, he stared at Yang Zhu with a cold face: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you must have been bent!?"

Yang Zhu hooked Zhang Mengping's shoulder viciously: "Luobo, I heard that you have been admitted to the civil service ape!? You've made it, kid. Let's see if I can beat you today!"

Zhang Mengping looked at him squintingly: "Just your little drink? Come, come, let me see!"

So amidst the roar of laughter, Yang Zhu sat down, and filled himself with a glass of beer fiercely...
