Four days later, they left. Before he left, he asked for Yang Haozhong's phone number and told them when he left. Yang Haozhong brushed him off. Because he knew very well that there was no point in contacting these low-level hooligans who were still fighting on the road. They were not on the same side.
There was a small shop in the detention center. There were instant noodles, mineral water, cigarettes, all kinds of canned food, and some snacks. If the prisoners were not used to the food in the prison, they could go to the small shop every Tuesday to buy what they needed. It looked very humane, but it was actually to earn money from the prisoners. The things in the small shop were twice as expensive as those outside.
The breakfast in the room was a large bucket of rice porridge, a few black steamed buns, and a few pieces of salty spicy vegetables. Lunch was a large bucket of vegetables. If he was lucky, he could eat a few pieces of fat meat. The vegetables were nothing more than potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. He casually chopped them up and threw them into the pot to boil them in water. The rice was still a few steamed buns like in the morning. Dinner was similar to lunch. It was fine for people to eat one or two meals like this, but if they ate it every day, it would be unbearable.
After the careless man left, Brother Yang said,"When I first came in, I was bullied by the careless man. The money my friend gave me was taken away by them."”
Yang Haozhong heard this and said angrily," Brother Yang, why didn't you say so earlier? We asked that kid to return the money to you and let him suffer?"”
"Forget it, it's not much money. Besides, he didn't dare to do anything after you guys came. I don't want to provoke such a hooligan to avoid trouble in the future.”Brother Yang tried to calm things down.
Brother Yang could have used the money to buy some delicious food, but it was all taken away. He could only eat those things with everyone. Moreover, he was slapped because he didn't like to listen to the careless words. He suffered a lot before Yang Haozhong and the others went. Yang Haozhong now understood that it was not strange for Brother Yang to see him as if he was a family member.
He basically didn't suffer much in there. Yang Haozhong asked his friend to bring 3000 yuan and bought a whole pile of things under his bed. What was uncomfortable was that there was nothing to do. Other than sleeping and eating every day, he played poker and watched News Broadcast at night.
In the past, Yang Haozhong had read books about how painful it was to lose one's freedom, but he had been disdainful. He thought that even if one had freedom, where could one go? However, during the 10 days he spent there, he deeply experienced the preciousness of freedom. Perhaps he would never have experienced it without this experience. Although he was sad for the past 10 days, his relationship with Brother Yang had gotten closer. Brother Yang had said a few times that he must thank Yang Haozhong after he went out. He even planned to let Yang Haozhong work for him. Yang Haozhong agreed, but he thought to himself, Let's go out first. We don't know what's going on outside yet.
On the 10th day, Yang Haozhong's detention period was up. When they parted, he and Brother Yang hugged each other tightly for a long time.
"Brother, I really have to thank you. When I get out, we can have a good talk. As long as I can help you, just say it.”Brother Yang's eyes were moist.
"Brother Yang, what are you talking about? I don't want you to help me with anything. We can talk. It's fate.”Yang Haozhong was a little reluctant.
The four of them packed their things and left the detention center building without looking back. Outside the detention center, the boss, Chen Ding, had been waiting in the car for a long time. When he saw his subordinates, Yang Haozhong, and the others, he got out of the car and patted Yang Haozhong's shoulder."I've made you suffer. Go back and take a good shower first, then we'll go out for dinner.”
"Big brother, this bit of hardship is nothing. They didn't look for you for anything, did they?" Yang Haozhong said tactfully.
"I was also sent to the detention center for two days. I roughly explained the situation and was fine.”Chen Ding said lightly. He said it so easily. If it weren't for his friend's help and money, he definitely wouldn't have had such a good time. With Yang Haozhong and a few others as scapegoats, this matter was easily solved. They drove around to the detention center to retrieve their phones, watches, wallets, and other things that were temporarily detained before returning to the new shop.
Under the shower head, Yang Haozhong took a long time to wash up. He also thought a lot, and the hot water flowed down his head. Yang Haozhong lowered his head and pondered. He thought about what he had obtained in the past few years. Money? A woman? Happy? He had gone from a fresh graduate to a wily man who was indifferent to everything and only wanted to make money. Did he gain more or lose more? In fact, in the end, he realized that he was not happy with the money he earned. Every time he saw the new waiter's eyes full of longing and anticipation for his new job, he felt uneasy. These innocent students would soon become like him, and in the end... this kind of insecure life made him feel a lot of psychological pressure. This time, he was detained for 10 days. He felt much more relaxed, as if punishment could make up for some of his sins. However, he knew that this was impossible. Even if he could make up for his mistakes on the surface, it could not make up for the fear and guilt in his heart. He made up his mind to escape from this godforsaken place and escape from this industry!
The dinner was very sumptuous. Yang Haozhong drank a lot of wine and the boss said a lot. However, they were all words of gratitude. It was nothing more than saying that Yang Haozhong was tight-lipped and did not cause any trouble. Yang Haozhong was also well aware of the stakes involved. It was not good for himself or others to talk too much. In view of this, Yang Haozhong had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"Big brother, it was actually my negligence. I caused you a lot of trouble this time. Without your help, I wouldn't be here now.”Yang Haozhong swore.
The boss, Chen Ding, was overjoyed. He took out a stack of money from his bag and placed it in front of Yang Haozhong."You don't have to rush back to work. I'll give you half a month's leave.”
Chen Ding had two intentions: First, he could win over the hearts of the people and let Yang Haozhong go out to have some fun to calm himself down. Second, let Yang Haozhong leave the provincial capital for a while and have a good rest. As Chen Ding's subordinate, how could Yang Haozhong not know what his boss meant?
"Big brother, what are you doing? Thank you for giving me a vacation, but I definitely can't take this money! Yang Haozhong put the money back into Chen Ding's bag.
Seeing that Yang Haozhong was determined not to take the money, Chen Ding did not stand on ceremony.
Chen Ding gave each of them some money to send the foreman and supervisor back to the old shop to continue working. Chen Ding, the waiter who caused the accident, was fired. The perpetrator had caused him to pay tens of thousands of yuan and spend two days in the detention center. Chen Ding was naturally very angry and wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson.
The waiter was a hotel management student. He had been doing well in the old restaurant for more than a year. He had wanted to get him to work in the new restaurant, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. He was quite pitiful. Yang Haozhong loved him dearly, and he couldn't bear to beat him up again. Yang Haozhong advised,"
"Big brother, I think it's fine. He was just a child and did not know any better. It was fine if he was fired, but he shouldn't push him too hard and cause any trouble.”Chen Ding thought it made sense and let him off. Yang Haozhong happened to know someone in the same trade who also opened a bathing center, so he introduced him to a friend.
After bidding farewell to Chen Ding, Yang Haozhong really wanted to go out and play, but in the end, he did not go. He felt that it was meaningless to go out alone without a partner. Most importantly, he also wanted to have a good chat with Brother Yang and look for an opportunity to jump out of this industry. As the saying went, a blessing in disguise. Yang Haozhong felt that it was worth it if he could exchange 10 days of losing his freedom for this opportunity.
A few days later, Brother Yang called to invite him to dinner. Usually, the two of them often ate together, but Brother Yang only talked about games and gambling. He rarely talked about the company.
At night, Brother Yang found a quieter hotel. The two of them sat in the private room and talked all night.
Brother Yang's company had more than 20 people and was of a moderate scale. It was a formal import and export company. They mainly imported all kinds of wood, while they sold high-end solid wood furniture. Other than that, they also traded some related products and had their own processing plant. It should be said that it wasn't just a shell company that offered nothing. It had a physical body. The company was a joint venture between Brother Yang and his friend. Brother Yang held a large share and served as the company's chairman and general manager. His friend was basically not in the company. He only invested in the company and did not participate in the operation. He only cared about the year-end dividends.
"Brother, don't look at me like I'm playing and gambling all day long, but I have my own way of running the company. When I first started my business, I worked as a salesman in a state-owned furniture factory. He worked so hard that he only earned a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month. Later, the factory closed down, so I did it myself. At that time, the two of us worked in a residential building. Other than a phone, a fax, and a computer, we had nothing. I used six years to move the company to the best office building in the provincial capital. Although his small processing plant was not big, the machines were all imported assembly lines that cost millions of yuan. I only started playing like this a year ago. I wasn't like this in the past at all. I only thought about the company every day and didn't even rest on the weekends. Recently, I've thought it through. Money is just f * cking waste paper if you save it and don't spend it!”Brother Yang said drunkenly. He drank too much.
"Big Brother, I've never heard you talk about the company before. Today, I'm really impressed by you and admire you from the bottom of my heart.”Yang Haozhong said sincerely.
Brother Yang smiled and said,"Brother, there's nothing to admire." Actually, you can do it too. Do you know why I'm willing to chat with you? I've been to many bathing centers and places to play, and I know many leaders like you, but none of them have eaten with me alone. Why? First, you don't have the right personality, and second, I've never seen anyone manage a bathing place so well like you. I've been managing the company for a long time, so I have a habit. No matter which unit I go to, I like to observe the quality and ability of the employees there. Take your old restaurant for example. The waiters are all very polite and discerning. They can always think of what you think. I've only been there a few times and they already know what I like to drink. I like disposable bathrobes. They even know the temperature of my shower. How can I not be happy? You don't know any of this, do you? Hehe, but this is your credit? Without your guidance, what would those brats know?”
"Hehe, I really didn't know about this." Yang Haozhong laughed.”
Yang Haozhong said he didn't know, but he knew better than anyone else. From the first time Brother Yang went to the bathing center, Yang Haozhong had chatted with him for a long time. Yang Haozhong felt that this person might help him a lot in the future. After Brother Yang left, Yang Haozhong immediately called the waiters for a meeting. He told them that this was a very important guest of his. Everyone had to be careful and remember what the guest liked to drink, what kind of massage he liked, which technician he liked, whether the bath water was cold or hot, which channel he liked to watch, and if they couldn't remember, they had to write it down in their notebooks. Brother Yang was half right. These people were trained by Yang Haozhong. However, he did not expect that the meticulous training back then would really work today. It was really intentional to plant flowers that did not bloom, but unintentionally planted willows that made shade.
"Brother, do you think we are fated? They even f * cking entered the detention center in the same room. Hehe, if it weren't for you, I don't know how much more suffering I would have to suffer in the next 10 days. The money I brought in was taken away by those bastards. Come, I won't give you much. Take this 10,000 yuan as a thank you!”Brother Yang stuffed a stack of money into Yang Haozhong's hands.
"Big brother, you're looking down on me by doing this. Those are things I should do. If it were you, you would do the same. It's meaningless for you to do this for such a small matter.”Yang Haozhong did not say anything. He picked up Brother Yang's bag, unzipped it, and put the money back.
Brother Yang nodded, raised his glass, and patted Yang Haozhong's shoulder.""Good brother! We'll do it! The two of them downed the wine. After putting down the wine glass, Yang Haozhong picked up the lighter on the table and lit a cigarette for Brother Yang. The two of them puffed out smoke. As the smoke lingered, Yang Haozhong began to cut to the chase."Big brother, I don't want to work there anymore. Can you please find me a place?”
Brother Yang laughed and said," Damn it, I wanted you to work with me in the past. I saw that you seemed to be very reluctant to part with that place, so I didn't mention it again. Today, you finally couldn't help but mention it? Hehe, what else is there to look for? Work with me, I promise I won't mistreat you!”
Yang Haozhong knew that Brother Yang would say this, but he still had to take precautions."Big brother, I really want to develop with you. But I've been in this line of work for so long that I've forgotten most of the things I've learned. I know that business English is definitely good, but now I've forgotten English so much that I'm worse than a high school student.”
Brother Yang smiled and said," I know, but there's no problem with me. As long as you're not illiterate, it's fine."”
The two of them burst into laughter. Yang Haozhong picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. This glass of wine could be said to be the most comfortable and refreshing glass of wine he had ever drunk in his life. Brother Yang talked about things related to playing again, and Yang Haozhong was no longer in the mood to listen. He echoed Brother Yang while thinking, I finally found a way out. A good day is coming. How can I get out of this sea of suffering?
