I want to work hard too!

Zhao Mingyang saw a familiar figure, a person he hadn't seen for many years.

This person was Ye Qingling, Zhao Mingyang's former college counselor. Before Zhao Mingyang graduated, he heard that she had gone abroad, so she was only four or five years older than Zhao Mingyang.

How did you meet here now and still be chased by someone?It seemed that she was in a bad state, which surprised Zhao Mingyang.

Zhao Mingyang and Old Wu followed, wanting to see what happened.

Street chases are all too common here in the US because there are so many gangs.

Each district has its own rules, and it is not easy for outsiders to interfere, which may cause unnecessary troubles.

The saying that well water does not violate river water is very important here.

Old Wu looked at Zhao Mingyang and said, "Should I help her?"

"No need, don't cause trouble for yourself for the time being, there are many ways to help her get out, we don't need to take risks in person, such as this." Zhao Mingyang took out a wallet from his pocket, which contained a bundle of money.

Old Wu took out the money in his wallet and gave it to Zhao Mingyang. With a stack of money in his hand, Zhao Mingyang chased after Old Wu, and then threw money into the sky.

The crowd became chaotic in an instant. Many people were picking up money. This is a US dollar, and they are all 51 hundred US dollars.

The chasers also stopped to pick up money, and the crowd suddenly became blocked and chaotic. Old Wu looked at the group of people speechlessly, money, money can really solve many problems.

"Think about it, change your thinking, you are going to help her, maybe fight with a group of people, although there are only four people, you may be able to deal with it, but it is not guaranteed that you will not be attacked or damaged, right? There may be more Big risk, the money is not something that can be solved by a few thousand dollars, it is estimated to be more than 20 to 10,000 dollars, you see, there is [-]+ dollars left in an instant." Zhao Mingyang laughed.

Old Wu was told so by Zhao Mingyang, it was true, and the risk was indeed reduced a lot. Now a few thousand dollars is not that much to him, and if it can be solved with money in the future, it will be safe with money.

The two quickly followed Zhao Mingyang's former counselor, Ye Qingling. She ran wildly all the way, lost her shoes, and ran barefoot.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Zhao Mingyang felt mixed emotions in his heart. This teacher was once regarded as a beautiful counselor recognized by everyone, and the dream lover of many boys.

Afterwards, she said that she was going abroad. After going abroad, she kept in touch with everyone at first, but then basically lost contact. At that time, no one knew her current situation. Everyone thought she would do well. Unexpectedly, seeing her From the cheap clothes on her body and the current situation, one can tell that she is really ordinary, very ordinary.

She got on a bus, and Zhao Mingyang and Lao Wu followed in a car driven by a security guard behind her.

Unexpectedly, meeting an old friend in a foreign country turned out to be this kind of car scene.

After following to a dark place, she got out of the car, and Zhao Mingyang also got out of the car.

Zhao Mingyang asked people to go to the mall to buy a one-size-fits-all dress and a pair of shoes. Zhao Mingyang really didn't know what size she was wearing, but Old Wu could tell at a glance. He said with certainty that a 37 would do, and she should be 36, but due to If you run barefoot, your feet will become red and swollen as long as you rest, so one size up is just right.

It has to be said that Old Wu's observation ability is very strong. Old Wu has a unique skill, that is, he can quickly identify some disguised people hidden in the crowd.

Zhao Mingyang was not in a hurry to meet the other party, but followed at a distance.

She walked for a while, and came to a small alley with lights. This is another street, which looks a bit commercial. Ye Qingling walked towards a staircase, which was behind a front house, and the stairs led to the second floor.

Zhao Mingyang also followed without disturbing, and followed slowly. After going up, Zhao Mingyang was dumbfounded.

The second floor is a rooftop. There are a lot of homeless people on it. Each person has a living area. Everyone either sleeps directly on the ground, or brings a small tent with them, and some make a sleeping bag. They have to pack up and leave early the next morning, otherwise Next time I will be chased away by others, basically I can only come to sleep at night after the shopkeeper gets off work.

How did she mess up so badly?This completely exceeded Zhao Mingyang's expectations.

How could it be so miserable?Zhao Mingyang really didn't understand.

Ye Qingling said at a corner: "This is my place."

She spoke in very good American English, very weakly.

"Get out! This is mine, I said it, get out of here, or I will destroy you! From today, this place is mine! Do you understand, you can get out!" A black woman with a loud voice yelled road.

Zhao Mingyang moved back quickly, and within a few steps, he heard Ye Qingling's roar: "Let me go!"

"You're mine tonight, I said so," one man said.

Ye Qing screamed spiritually, but no one helped, as if the people here were used to it.

Zhao Mingyang had no choice but to wave his hand, and Old Wu went up, Zhao Mingyang didn't dare to take risks, it wasn't an idol drama, he was more reluctant to die now, and everyone here might carry a biubiu, safety first, Zhao Mingyang would not take risks easily.

Old Wu subdued the opponent, and let the opponent's arm squeak before leading Ye Qingling to Zhao Mingyang's side. The man was still crying and howling, rolling all over the floor.

Ye Qingling probably didn't know who wanted to see her. The rest of the people above were still quiet, as if nothing had happened. The man who wanted to cheat on Ye Qingling quickly fell silent and passed out from the pain. It can be seen that Old Wu How ruthless it was.

When the people who bought the shoes and clothes delivered the goods, Ye Qingling still didn't know who wanted to see her. Zhao Mingyang wanted to give the other party a time to dress up, so he deliberately avoided it and went to a nearby house by car. Dining room.

After the female counselor washed up, she changed into clothes and shoes, and Lao Wu drove her to the restaurant. She was scared, scared, and didn't know who Lao Wu was, but Lao Wu said that someone wanted to see her. And prepared clothes and shoes for her, and took her to the hotel and opened a room for her to wash.

Ye Qingling felt that at least the other party had no ill intentions towards her, and Old Wu said that the person who wanted to see her just helped her get rid of being chased in Hanguo City.

After Ye Qingling finished changing, Old Wu drove her to the restaurant.

She reluctantly walked into the restaurant, told the waiter the reserved room number, and the waiter took her to a box.

Just like what Old Wu said, Ye Qingling's feet started to become red, swollen and painful at this time. Blisters appeared on her feet, and it was extremely painful to walk.

When she came to the box, she took a deep breath, not knowing who was inside.

Pushing open the door and entering with his head down, Zhao Mingyang stood in front of the window with his back turned, Ye Qingling didn't know who the man in front of him was.

Zhao Mingyang turned around slowly and looked at the other party and said, "Counselor, do you still remember me?"

The other party and Zhao Mingyang stared at each other for a moment, and then seemed to open up the dusty memories.

The man in front of him seemed to have known him before, but he was different. He was very handsome, with a great temperament and aura. It could be seen that the man belonged to the kind of person who had no worries about food and clothing and had a successful career.

His speech and demeanor revealed gentleness and refinement, and so did she in the past, but now she is already unsightly.

"You are?" She looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, she wasn't sure if the person in front of her was the person she knew before, because it seemed different, it was really different, the breath between the eyebrows was also different, just Kind of like it, but not sure.

"I really don't remember? It seems that my position in your heart is very ordinary. Didn't you say that you will buy me a Ferrari when you arrive in the United States? I'm Zhao Mingyang." Zhao Mingyang laughed and gave The other party opened the chair. This is a very high-end Chinese restaurant. The per capita consumption is only one hundred dollars, and the private rooms are only available for three thousand dollars.

Usually some rich Chinese merchants will meet here. Ye Qingling passed by here many times and wanted to come in, but she never entered. It is said that this is a very authentic Chinese restaurant in the local area. I heard that the food inside is the same as domestic, but the price is not enough. It was very expensive, and she couldn't afford it.

Ye Qingling looked at Zhao Mingyang as if getting an electric shock, and said incredulously, "You are Zhao Mingyang? Are you really Zhao Mingyang?"

Zhao Mingyang nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Ye, I haven't seen you for many years."

Zhao Mingyang wanted to say, are you okay?But he held back again, which is tantamount to nonsense.

Ye Qingling suddenly seemed to be dead at this moment. She lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Zhao Mingyang. At this moment, she felt extremely ashamed and inferior. She wanted to turn around and run away, but when she moved her leg, she felt a pain. There was no sound.

Zhao Mingyang went forward to help her into a seat, sat opposite her, looked at her and said, "Is there anything you dare not face? I've seen it all, is it useful to escape? If I didn't meet you here today, I actually have a vague memory of you." I think you should be doing well.

I don't mean anything else, and I won't treat you differently because of your current situation. I just regard you as my old friend, my mentor, and my admired teacher. If you still regard me as your student, we will Can we have a nice chat? "

Ye Qingling didn't speak, she really felt a kind of shameless shame, yes, she felt shame.

In the past, she was Bai Fumei in people's eyes. Now that she has been through such a situation, her skin has become rough, and she can still vaguely distinguish the foundation of the beauty, but her expression is too haggard.

There was no light in her eyes, and there was no trace of the past. She felt how shameful it was to be seen by her former students in her current situation, which was more painful than beating her.

Zhao Mingyang sent someone to bring Huaiyang cuisine. Her family is from Yangcheng, so she probably hasn't eaten the cuisine from her hometown for a long time.

There used to be a statistic, which was a guide for avoiding the pitfalls of major domestic cuisines. If you want to eat cuisines that do not step on the pitfalls, then go directly to eat Huaiyang cuisine in a larger store. This cuisine maintains the best standard. If you go to Yangcheng If you want to eat Huaiyang cuisine, you go straight to the big hotel, because there are serious introversion, and those who are not good at cooking are kicked out.

The major gourmets try the major Chinese restaurants across the country. Huaiyang cuisine is often mentioned in their mouths. It is a test of the chef's level, technology and hard work are not applicable.

This is why Huaiyang cuisine is used the most in state banquets, and it can entertain foreign guests, because Huaiyang cuisine mainly seeks to add some effort to the original ingredients to keep the ingredients fresh, but there is also a point that this cuisine is relatively limited, and there are very few small restaurants in Huaiyang cuisine. , most of them are in big hotels. Because of the exquisite ingredients and the salary of the chef, it is difficult for this small restaurant to support itself. At most, small restaurants have boiled dried shredded rice and so on. For more complicated ones, you can only go to hotels or restaurants. You can only eat it in restaurants.

When most people have money, they like to eat the original flavor, and they like to eat lighter food. The main reason is that the spicy food stimulates the taste buds and makes people excited. Spicy food is not a taste, but a pain sensation.

Eating too much spicy food will make people feel bad, but the advantage is that it is cheap and good, and can make people eat quickly. This is why Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese morning tea are not cheap anymore. The ingredients are different and the effort required is different. Same.

Eat something light and so on, you can taste the fresh and tender ingredients, not to mention the original taste, and it will not hurt the stomach.

Seeing a table full of Huaiyang dishes, Ye Qingling burst into tears, and the waiter left after putting the dishes on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot." Zhao Mingyang didn't know what to say anymore, he didn't know what to say.

Ye Qingling burst into tears suddenly, lay on the table and signaled Zhao Mingyang to leave her alone and let her cry for a while.

Tired from crying, she finally regained her composure, raised her head, and Zhao Mingyang handed her a tissue.

Ye Qing let out a long breath, wiped away his tears with a piece of paper, picked up chopsticks and picked up some vegetables tremblingly, put them on the plate, tasted them, and let out another long breath.

"I haven't eaten these dishes for a long time. It's been a long time~ It's been a long time..." Ye Qingling said.

"Want a drink? Huaiyang cuisine is best paired with baijiu." Zhao Mingyang opened a bottle of baijiu, a bottle of old Moutai.

Zhao Mingyang poured Ye Qingling a glass of wine, Zhao Mingyang remembered that Ye Qingling could drink, because Ye Qingling invited them to have a drink at his own expense when they were in school, Zhao Mingyang had a deep memory, the Maotai she drank for the first time was bought by Ye Qingling. The words are: "To put it bluntly, some of you may not be able to drink Moutai in this life. After graduation, you will either be reluctant to buy it, or you will not have the opportunity to drink Moutai. Then I will treat you to drink. Once, you will think of me whenever you hear Moutai in this life.”

That night, Zhao Mingyang will never forget that night. Dozens of people in the class sat in a restaurant near the school, ate four or five hundred tables of dishes, and drank several thousand yuan of Feitian. There were four bottles of wine in total. Zhao Mingyang remembered it very clearly. , Everyone drank a small amount, a bottle of wine for ten people.

It was also Ye Qingling's farewell wine. Everyone pooled money to treat Ye Qingling to dinner, but she bought the bill. She said that I will see you in the future, and if I do, I will treat her to a good meal and drink.

"Ms. Ye, I respect you. You said that if you meet again, please eat and drink well. I treat you to the best Chinese restaurant here. The drink is 20-year-old Moutai, which is the town name of this restaurant. The treasure of the store." Zhao Mingyang said.

Ye Qingling picked up the wine glass and clinked a glass with Zhao Mingyang, drank a sip and said, "Do you still remember this?"

"Remember, I will remember in this life, every time I hear the word Maotai, I always hear you. At the beginning, you and we really got along well. Everyone hated and liked you, and many men have a crush on you." Zhao Mingyang laughed.

Ye Qingling shook her head and said in a low voice, "If they see me now, they will probably be very disappointed." '

"How come, you said that no matter how well we do in the future, don't laugh at a classmate who is not doing well, because the other party may just have bad luck, and we will remember what you said."

"Yeah, bad luck." Ye Qingling murmured.

"Do you smoke?" Zhao Mingyang asked.

Ye Qingling glanced at Zhao Mingyang with a wry smile and said, "Your observation skills are very good." "

Zhao Mingyang saw Ye Qingling pinching his fingers, which was an unconscious little movement of the old smoker while eating and drinking.

"No more, don't give it to me." Ye Qingling said.

Zhao Mingyang put the cigarettes on the table back again, because Ye Qingling once told them that she didn't like the smell of cigarettes, but she didn't expect that she started smoking now.

"You are doing well now, Zhao Mingyang." Ye Qingling looked at Zhao Mingyang and said, much better than before.

"It's not bad. According to what you said, I have better luck. Now I can only say that it is not bad."

"Luck is also a part of strength. Without strength, no matter how good your luck is, it will disappear quickly. Today I let you see my ugly face. I'm sorry. I should treat you to dinner, but I have no money." Ye Qingling said .

"How did it become like this?" Zhao Mingyang looked at Ye Qingling and asked, he really wanted to know why she became like this.
