The time I worked with Zhang Tao as a colleague was not very long, just a few months. But this kid has a flexible head and can come up with things, and we get along pretty well.
After resigning from the decoration company, Wang Ba approached Lei Zhen to take over the decoration project of the art museum, and that's why Zhang Li and Zhang Tao and I made a small fortune. The gap between us also came from the renovation of the art gallery, so seeing Zhang Tao at this time, I was still a little upset.
To be honest, after parting ways with Zhang Tao, I really rarely think of Zhang Tao in my life. After all, we no longer had a life and work circle that could intersect, so I naturally threw Zhang Tao into the ranks of strangers.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Tao, who was holding milk tea, smiling brightly at me when he turned his head, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart.
"Why are you kid?" I sat on the chair next to me with a smile and tried my best to smile.
"Brother Tang was promoted to CEO, I'm here to congratulate you!" Zhang Tao still spoke in the original tone, with a sloppy expression.
"Your boy is still the same, with a bad mouth, but you seem to have lost a lot of weight!"
Although Zhang Tao back then was not a strong-backed man, he was still a vigorous and hard-covered Guanzhong man. In just one year, he lost a lot of weight, which surprised me.
"Zhang Tao visits the gym every day, and this figure is obtained through training!" Su Yan interjected with a smile.
"Sister Su Yan, you still don't understand our man. Looking at his expression, I know he is definitely not someone who haunts the gym all the time. According to me, Zhang Tao is just too indulgent!" I stared at Zhang Tao and smiled, saying this He didn't have any scruples about Su Yan beside him.
After Zhang Tao listened to what I said, he looked at Su Yan meaningfully, but didn't explain anything.
This look in his eyes made me a little bored. According to my understanding, there is absolutely no possibility of in-depth understanding between Su Yan and Zhang Tao. According to Su Yan's taste and aesthetics, she would never be interested in a man like Zhang Tao anyway.
However, what information did they reveal in the depths of their eyes just now?
I naturally lowered my head and drank the drink, trying to find the truth behind the gaze.
"Indulge yourself, ask Zhang Tao if he has the ability?" Su Yan giggled and stood up, without giving me a chance to win back, she went straight to the bar and chatted with Chen Jing.
I have always admired Chen Jing, she was able to make many sincere friends silently. A literary fan is something I have envied for many days, but I can't get it.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, I just looked away and chatted with Zhang Tao endlessly.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a year, and I don't know how to call my brother. I always want to drink with you!" I smiled and said, thinking of the scene when I was drinking with Zhang Tao, I couldn't help laughing.
"Why do you want to drink with me?" Zhang Tao asked puzzled.
"Only when I drink with you, can I barely feel that I still have a certain amount of alcohol. This year, I drink with a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and I throw away my armor every time." I explained with a smile. Not my intention. It's just chatting between men. Apart from smoking, drinking and talking about women, there seems to be no other topics.
"Bring me next time, my brother will help you drink, and I will definitely avenge my brother!" Zhang Tao patted the table lightly, with a funny expression on his face, so I naturally wouldn't believe what he said.
"Long time no see, what are you busy with?" I'm actually a rather nostalgic person, and I'm in the mood to learn about my own past, or the past of others. This may have a lot to do with my liking for history in high school and my liking for biography when I was in college.
"Hey, don't mention it, it's been an unlucky year!" Zhang Tao lowered his head, frowned, and sighed with a bitter face.
"What happened, was blown by my girlfriend?" I asked puzzled.
"It's fine if my girlfriend blows me away. I just moved a little bit and took over a small stall in the Changbai Commercial Building in Chang'an District. From then on, my difficult days came all at once, and I couldn't stop it. Stop!" Zhang Tao leaned back on the chair, exhaustedly took out a cigarette and handed me a cigarette, then stuffed one into his mouth, limply lit the cigarette, as if extremely tired.
"I've been to that shopping mall once. The location is very good, and the customer flow is also good. Why are you suffering?"
"For a place the size of a palm, the transfer fee alone cost me 80,000 yuan. Counting the franchise fee, equipment, rent and decoration, I invested a total of nearly 150,000 yuan in that small partition. Last time the art museum was renovated Afterwards, I did save a little money, but this time I put all my money away.All my savings were invested, and I owed a lot of foreign debts. "Zhang Tao took a puff of cigarette forcefully and spat it out reluctantly. He seemed to be a senior smoker and knew how to smoke for the best taste.
"That's right. I've started my own business. There will always be returns on investment. If you don't invest, you won't get any output. What hurts you?" I stared at Zhang Tao and asked puzzled.
"Hey, don't mention it. I blamed me for being too blind. I chose the wrong location to open the store, the wrong industry, and joined the wrong brand. After opening, the daily gross income was only 100 yuan. I persisted for half a year, and in the end even the rent was less than 100 yuan. I couldn¡¯t take it out, so I had to transfer it out!¡±
Zhang Tao said that he was extremely disappointed. From his narration, I felt that I was actually quite lucky.
"It's good to transfer it out, at least you don't have to continue to lose money, and you can get back part of the investment!" I didn't know what to say, so I comforted Zhang Tao in this way, but it didn't work.
"Hey, I've lost all my wife's capital. I finally saved some money for the wedding, but now it's a chicken-and-egg fight. I lost my wife and lost my army!"
Zhang Tao let out a long sigh, his face was full of sadness, young wrinkles and new white hair, it made my chrysanthemum tighten when I saw it.
"It's okay, there is still a long way to go, take your time, persevere, and there will always be a day of success!" I don't want to say in front of Zhang Tao that if you don't forget your original aspirations, you will always have chicken soup for your soul, but I really don't know how to comfort you.
"Hey! Thank you brother, I am running out of ammunition and food. This time I came here with Sister Su Yan, just to ask you to help me. Recently I have been dreaming. Every night I dream that I lose money. Standing on their feet, their whole body is poor and white, and only their underwear is left to hold on to the last position."
This dream that Zhang Tao has every night sounds funny, but people who have never experienced failure or lost money in business can't imagine the kind of panic and helplessness at all.
Late at night, in dreams, and panic can destroy a person instantly.
"I finally understand why you came to the coffee shop to drink milk tea. It turns out that you want to make a comeback. Brother wants to help you, but I don't know where to start. In fact, lending you money will only cure the symptoms, not the root cause!" I cautiously Open your mouth, but it does not exclude Zhang Tao from asking me to borrow money.
When brothers are in trouble, "drawing swords to help each other" is the practice of beasts. Zhang Tao needs my help, so I will naturally do my best.
"I'm working in Lei Zhen's company now, and the task he assigned to me is to expand the territory of private clubs. I hope Brother Tang, you can help me!" Zhang Tao looked at me with anticipation in his eyes after he finished speaking.
I finally understood the reason why Su Yan and Zhang Tao appeared here together. They came together to persuade me to cooperate.
In fact, I wanted to promote the cooperation between Jin Huang and Lei Zhen, but when I first went upstairs, I saw the scene of them chatting in whispers.
Looking back at that scene at this time, I always feel that there must be some secret hidden between these two people (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
