Chapter 13 scheming and simplicity
Sun Tao and Li Jia, they seemed to be together when they were in high school. They fell in love when they first entered college. But later, it ended without any problems.
It was also very dramatic that it ended without any problem. When they were about to graduate in their senior year, the two of them texted each other one morning: Let’s break up.
The reason why Sun Tao and Li Jia broke up is a mystery. No one knows except the person involved.
Long Ming said it was a good thing, but in fact he was just being polite. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or not.
After seeing Li Jia off, Long Mingyi took out a drink from the refrigerator. He likes to drink cold things.
"If the two of them could be together..." Xu Chen smiled, "It would be as interesting as a TV series."
"I don't know why they broke up at that time." Long Ming shook his head, "I shouldn't have taken this job."
"You are more tired during the holiday than at work."
"I can't wait to go to work right now."
"Is it about Zhou Jinkun?"
"It seems you are not idle either."
Xu Chen opened the drink and said, "Mingyi, Zhou Jinkun has a problem. Do we... have to deal with him?"
"Yes, he is like an assassin who wants to harm 'me' at any time. What happened to Mingye is by no means an accident. He came to deal with me. He fired the first shot, and I gave him a missile in return."
"Okay. I support you." Xu Chen knew Long Mingyi's temper. Her mission was to protect Long Mingyi's bottom line.
The students returned from a night outing.
Today we were on a plane and traveling again. We were really tired from playing. All the female classmates went back to their rooms to rest. Xu Chen didn't live here. She called a car and went home.
Long Mingyi called Sun Tao to the bar, and the two chatted alone.
"Li Jia is looking for me." Long Ming got straight to the point. The relationship between him and Sun Tao didn't need any foreshadowing.
"Hey." Sun Tao sighed.
Long Mingyi was a little surprised. It seemed that Sun Tao knew what Li Jia meant. Since Sun Tao had no intention of revisiting his old dream, he must have rejected her openly or secretly. Why did Li Jia look for him again?
Sun Tao took a sip and lost the intention to drink. He put the glass down and said, "Mingyi, please don't worry about this. Li Jiaqi and I can't make it happen."
Long Ming nodded.
Sun Tao and Long Ming drank a lot together, and Sun Tao drank one glass after another until he was so drunk that his eyes were blurred.
"Mingyi, let me tell you, I will tell you someone." Sun Tao's tongue was so big.
"Say it."
"Li Jia and I broke up when we were in college because we couldn't be together. I had no money at the time, and Li Jia didn't have any money either. There was no future for the two of us together."
"Then now..."
Sun Tao interrupted Long Mingyi, "Now, what is she coming to see me for? Don't you know clearly?"
What does Li Jianeng like about Sun Tao? Li Jia is almost 40 years old and has a child. Why did she choose Sun Tao? It’s because she knows Sun Tao well and knows that Sun Tao is a small boss with a little money.
Sun Tao opened a hardware store in his hometown, and sometimes did some small plumbing projects. He was not particularly rich, but he still had enough food and clothing. The hardware store was worth 1.8 million. Even if Sun Tao did nothing
, that store rents out for 100,000 yuan a year, which is enough for him to live in his hometown. Sun Tao has a 100-square-meter house and a small apartment in a school district. He has become well-off.
Li Jia was different. After returning home from college, she worked in a company affiliated with a state-owned enterprise. She married her ex-husband, who was also an employee of a state-owned enterprise, within half a year of her breakup with Sun Tao. The first few years were quite fruitful. But she never expected that,
During the reform of state-owned enterprises, their factory became a private enterprise, reducing staff and increasing efficiency, and they directly bought out Li Jia's ex-husband.
After her ex-husband left his job, he seemed to have lost his job. He couldn't do anything. The store he just rented for business was demolished within a month. Within two years, Li Jia divorced him and lived alone with his children.
"Actually, it may not be what you think." Long Mingyi persuaded Sun Tao.
"It's definitely what I thought. Why is she looking for me? It's not because I have some money now. And her child will go to junior high school next year, so she happens to use a school district room."
"Sun Tao, Li Jia also has some money and is dressed in mink."
Long Mingyi advised Sun Tao this way because when he was in high school, he was particularly envious of Sun Tao and Li Jia's inexperienced relationship.
"How can she have money?" Sun Tao slammed the wine glass on the table angrily.
"What's wrong?"
"Where did her clothes come from? You wouldn't even guess. Her ex-husband bought them for her in order to reconcile. But she took the clothes without asking anyone."
"Unexpected."
"So, Mingyi, people can change! What has become of Li Jia? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Sun Tao drank another glass of wine, "Besides, if I'm looking, can I find Li Jia? It's not impossible for me to find someone young and beautiful. And what did she do to me at that time?"
"You two told each other to break up."
"We said it to each other, but do you know? She had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. I was young at the time and thought she would be under pressure to find a job after graduation because there would be pressure in the future. We are not shameless people either.
Just divide it."
Sun Tao said bitterly: "But what is the real reason? Her parents asked her to break up with me. When she and I were still in love, her parents arranged for her to go on a blind date with her ex-husband. The two became friends in a few days!
It was the unit where Li Jia was transferred to by 'ex-husband's parents', and they just wanted to dump me, do you understand?"
Long Ming took a deep breath and said, "Then Li Jia is really thick-skinned."
"She thinks I don't know about these things." Sun Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Her former leader was my friend. Why don't I know?"
"Now I know why her ex-husband was 'laid off'." Long Mingyi smiled evilly.
"Haha..." Sun Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Brother, why are you so smart?"
Li Jia's ex-husband's parents retired early during the reform. After the enterprise reform, no one they knew had anything to do with their affairs. They no longer had anything to do with their ex-husband's brother's affairs.
Sun Tao knew Li Jia's leadership. It would be easy for Sun Tao to want Li Jia's ex-husband to be laid off.
"Then he was renting a house for business and suddenly it was demolished..."
"I found someone to introduce him to rent that house. I knew there was news that it was going to be demolished." Sun Tao's ability to take on small projects in recent years was not just waiting for business opportunities. He has good relationships with many construction companies.
"You are taking revenge."
"How could I not breathe this tone?" Although Sun Tao drank too much, his eyes became filled with resentment.
"Congratulations on getting your revenge."
Sun Tao said: "A month ago, I saw her ex-husband. He was very thin and seemed to be moving goods in the supermarket. When I looked at him, I felt a strange feeling in my heart."
"How does it feel? You didn't intend to save his life, right?" Long Mingyi said.
"It's so pitiful." Sun Tao shook his head, "But it's not the most pitiful thing."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I asked him to work at my place for five thousand a month."
"He went?" Long Mingyi's face was full of surprise and disdain.
"He actually agreed." Sun Tao said: "I feel more satisfied than I have ever felt before. Oh my God! He will be ordered around by me from now on. He will do all the difficult and heavy work in the future."
