Huazi and Xiangnan had been arriving for a while. The plane should have landed, but the flight was delayed for half an hour.
The two of them were a little impatient, so they made an appointment to go outside together, ready to smoke and spank while they waited.
"Hua Zi, how busy has your stall been recently?"
Xiang Nan is leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette in his mouth. Coupled with his sultry expression, people who don't know may be fooled by this guy and think he is some kind of boss.
"It's OK."
Hua flicked the cigarette ashes: "The house has basically been negotiated, and we should start decorating it after the new year."
"sure!"
Hearing this, Xiang Nan suddenly stood up and said with a smile.
"From now on, I have to call you, no, President Hua."
Xiang Nan knew that Huazi opened a mobile phone store, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. However, Xiang Nan didn't know that this store was opened by Huazi and Li Jie in partnership.
If he found out, Xiang Nan wouldn't be without thoughts.
Why?
We are all good brothers, why did you two go into business together and leave everyone behind?
If Xiang Nan was thirty years old, even if he knew about this, he probably wouldn't say anything.
After all, at the age of thirty, I have already been severely beaten by society.
Unlike now, Xiang Nan is still very naive, thinking that their friendship will last forever, and that when they grow old, they can still visit each other.
"Okay, stop teasing!"
Huazi waved his hand: "It's nothing special. It's just a place selling mobile phones. It's a small business. It's nothing like Lu Tao..."
Speaking of this, Hua Zi was suddenly stunned for a moment.
He said this completely subconsciously. Indeed, compared with Lu Tao, his small business is nothing to mention.
They are all dealing with big business worth millions or tens of millions.
Hua Zi was suddenly stunned because he realized that he seemed to have not seen Lu Tao for a long time.
Obviously they are in the same city, and they are not too far apart, but they can't see each other even once in a month.
It's not like when they were in school, they ate together, slept together, and played games together.
Thinking of this, Hua Zi couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Calculate the time, how long has it been since they graduated?
It had only been less than a year, but the relationship between them seemed to have become a lot stranger, especially from Lu Tao's side.
Although Lu Tao's affair was unreasonable, it was not the reason why Hua Zi and Lu Tao were separated.
What does a woman mean in front of brothers?
In fact, Hua Zi knew very well that the reason why he and Lu Tao were separated was mostly because of the conflict between 'Qiangzi' and Lu Tao.
This is the crux!
If you had to choose between Lu Tao and ‘Qiangzi’, Hua Zi would definitely side with ‘Qiangzi’.
This was not done because 'Qiangzi' was doing business with him, but because it was Lu Tao's fault.
I have to admit that Lu Tao has indeed expanded after graduation.
He talks about millions and tens of millions of business, but for Lu Tao, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of business seems not worth opening his mouth.
If Lu Tao had reached that point through his own efforts, Hua Zi would definitely be convinced.
But Lu Tao's ability to become the project leader obviously did not rely on his personal ability.
He relies on his rich father.
A rich dad fell from the sky to a good brother. Of course Hua Zi was happy for Lu Tao, but apart from being happy, there was definitely some envy.
Who hasn’t reached the second grade yet?
Hua Zi had imagined before that maybe his parents were the kind of invisible rich people, and their family's poverty was just an appearance, and everything was done to train him.
Maybe when he reaches adulthood, his parents may just throw a bank card to him and let him swipe it as he pleases.
However, this is obviously an impossible thing and only belongs to the fantasy of boyhood.
On the other side, when Hua Zi mentioned ‘Lu Tao’, Xiang Nan also sighed and agreed.
"Yes, Lu Tao is different from us. Every day we discuss big business worth tens of millions or billions."
Lu Tao is becoming more and more difficult to date. Xiang Nan is deeply aware of this.
He had made many appointments with Lu Tao, but the number of times they met was only a handful. On average, it took three or four appointments to meet.
Once or twice, Xiang Nan thought it was nothing.
But the more times he did it, the more he felt a little uncomfortable.
Human nature cannot withstand scrutiny.
As long as you review everything, you can always find hidden things.
The last time Xiang Nan met Lu Tao was half a month ago. The two made an appointment at a Sanlitun bar. Huazi was busy with the store that day and had no time to attend the party.
So, there were only two of them at that party.
The two drank, chatted, discussed national affairs, and women. On the surface, everything seemed to be the same as in college.
Lu Tao felt the same way.
But Xiang Nan was different. He clearly noticed the difference. In the past, he could laugh and insult Lu Tao without any burden.
But now he can't do it.
Even when bickering with each other, he would subconsciously pay attention to the scale.
Swearing people is a pleasure!
Once you have scruples in your heart, it is better to keep the curse words in your heart.
Because you can scold whatever you want in your heart. No one knows what you are thinking except yourself.
"grass!"
Thinking about it, Xiang Nan suddenly threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then crushed it several times with the soles of his feet.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
It's been less than a year since I graduated, but all kinds of changes are happening so fast that it's dizzying to see.
The 'brotherhood' that I thought was strong at first seems not to be that strong now.
People change!
It never changes and can only stay in fantasy.
At this moment, Xiang Nan felt that he was very stupid in the past.
"What?"
Seeing Xiang Nan's sudden surge of anger, Hua Zi was stunned for a moment, and then took out a .38 Zhongnanhai.
"It's fine, why are you still angry?"
After lighting the cigarette, Xiang Nan took a long puff and smoked off one-third of the length in one breath.
Immediately, he blew out a long column of smoke.
"What I just scolded was this damn world, Hua Zi, how long did it take for us to graduate? But there are too many things going on around us."
Hearing this, Hua Zi nodded.
Indeed, a lot has happened in the past half year or so.
Lu Tao and Xia Lin cheated on each other, and then Xia Lin went abroad first, and then Mi Lai was also sent abroad by her father.
One of them went to Europe, and the other went to North America.
In addition, the relationship between the four brothers is not as good as before, and Lu Tao and 'Qiangzi' have fallen out.
Although he and Xiang Nan did not break up with Lu Tao, they felt obviously alienated.
Nothing will go back!
Hua Zi looked into the distance, learned to face the south, and took a long drag on his cigarette.
