Liu Hai walked out of the juvenile detention center. He looked to his left and right with his eyes wide open. To be honest, the air outside was comfortable, and there were many more colors. After two years of looking at the gray tone, it really annoyed him. The house was gray, and people's clothes were gray. He was used to this kind of life until today when he walked out of the door. Liu Hai's heart was moved, and his heart was lit up. The discomfort of coming to this world slowly faded.
" Liu Hai, Hai Zi…" A figure walked towards him from the front of the door while shouting.
A middle-aged man in his fifties interrupted Liu Hai's thoughts. He was wearing a dark blue tunic suit. Before Liu Hai could come back to his senses, the figure came to his side. He stretched out his hand to stroke Liu Hai's head, but he did not know why it fell. Jia Ming remembered the young man who volunteered to follow him to the Beijing Film Studio three years ago. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. His youthful appearance had faded, and his face was full of vicissitudes. He did not look like a 20-year-old youth. Liu Hai seemed to be a middle-aged man of the same age as him.
"Uncle…Uncle Jia, why are you here?”Liu Hai didn't expect Jia Ming to come to pick him up. He reached out and held Jia Ming's hesitant hands tightly. Jia Ming was the person he was most familiar with at the Beijing Film Studio.
Jia Ming was the head of a human resources center in a film studio in the capital. When Liu Hai graduated from the performing arts school in 1993, Jia Ming had taken a fancy to him and brought him to the capital.
" Liu Hai, the factory leaders came to pick you up, but... but they're busy, so they asked me to pick you up. Hai Zi, you... you've been wronged."
Liu Hai's eyes reddened slightly when he heard this belated greeting. It had been three years, and he had been looking forward to the day when someone would come to care for him, even if it was just to visit him and say a word.
"Uncle Jia, thank you! I…"
Jia Ming saw that Liu Hai was sobbing as he spoke. He reached out his hands and hugged his shoulders tightly. He patted his back and said,"Everything is in the past. You have to pull yourself together. You're still young.”
With that said, Jia Ming held Liu Hai with one arm and walked over to a car parked by the roadside. The car that came to pick him up was an ordinary army green jeep. Liu Hai looked at the car curiously. It was too familiar. Wasn't this a Beijing jeep?
Jia Ming opened the trunk and smiled as he gestured for Liu Hai to put his luggage inside. Liu Hai put his luggage away and turned around to look at the juvenile detention center behind him. This was the place where he had lived for three years and the first stop he had made after traveling through another time and space. He felt a sense of reluctance and a sense of hesitation towards his current life.
Under Jia Ming's urging, Liu Hai got into the car, but Jia Ming did not drive. He lit a cigarette and started smoking. Liu Hai looked at the smoke that Jia Ming exhaled and unnaturally dug into his pocket. In his previous life, he had been a standard smoking person, but now, two years later, he realized that he had actually forgotten the habit of smoking.
Jia Ming took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled, and sighed. He didn't even know how to bring this up, but it would be unreasonable if he didn't carry out the orders of his leader. Moreover, Liu Hai was personally recruited by him. He frowned and took the opportunity to knock on the cigarette ash to say,"Hai Zi, uncle…uncle has something to tell you, you see…"
"Say it, it's okay, I'm listening."
"It's…it's you this time…sigh!”Jia Ming let out a long sigh and turned to look at Liu Hai, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
" I'll be frank with you. You were originally a temporary contract worker at the factory, so there wasn't much of a connection. However, this time, the local government entrusted our factory to handle it. Our factory leaders even held a meeting regarding your matter. As for the matter that you've wronged, the factory will compensate you with three years 'salary. At the same time, we'll settle a house for you. What do you think…"
When Liu Hai heard that there was a house, he was delighted. This was the capital, where every inch of land was precious. Moreover, he had no place to live now. If he had to go back to the dormitory, he did not want to go. The secret on him was the foundation of his survival in the future. Moreover, Liu Hai planned to stay in the factory for a year or two. It was easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Liu Hai knew this principle.
" Uncle, I'll listen to you. You must be doing this for my own good." Liu Hai carefully kicked the ball back.
Jia Ming looked at Liu Hai's smiling eyes and raised his hand to point at him.""You brat, you brat!"
" Although you've been wronged this time, call me uncle, and I'll tell you this. In the future, if you encounter any problems, fists won't be able to solve them. Your excessive defense has also been taught to be a righteous person." After saying that, Jia Ming pointed at the red book in the back seat and handed another red book to Liu Hai.
Liu Hai did not look at the certificate too much. He was only attracted by another book. The property ownership certificate. This was a real compensation. He touched it with his hand. He finally had a sense of existence in this world. He didn't have to live at the bridgehead or rent a basement.
Jia Ming took out a thick envelope and a piece of paper from his briefcase and said,"Look at this again. If you agree, sign it. We'll let this matter go."
Liu Hai squeezed the envelope with his hand. He knew that this was the factory's salary. He looked at the paper again. It was a statement that he would not sue or ask for the truth.
Liu Hai looked at Jia Ming and then at the declaration. Old Jianghu, old Jianghu, even though he had 40 years of experience, he still fell into a trap. Liu Hai closed his eyes and thought for a while." Uncle, I've been in there for three years. Can you give me a place to study in an art school? This is not a big deal for the factory…"
" This matter…I'll make the decision," Jia Ming said with a smile. He took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Liu Hai. It was a letter of admission. Liu Hai looked at Jia Ming in confusion. This was one shot after another. Damn it, my IQ can't be that low, right? Liu Hai kept underestimating in his heart. He took the pen that Jia Ming handed over and signed his name on the statement before handing it to Jia Ming unwillingly.
Jia Ming chuckled as he took it and looked at it. As he folded the paper and put it into his briefcase, he said,"I'm not trying to show off, but I fought for this admission letter for you at the meeting. You were recruited by me, and you're still young. You're still studying. You graduated from a performing arts technical school, and you're still lacking in this circle. Your chance is coming. In three months, you'll be able to enroll with the new students. It's a two-year junior college class in Beijing Electric University's performing arts department."
Looking at the scenery that flashed past on the street, he had never seen the Capital City of the 1990s. In another time and space, he was still studying in junior high school. He was lucky enough to be recruited into the directing department of Northern Film Academy when the country took care of orphans. He did not expect to fall into the junior college class in this time and space. Liu Hai let out a long sigh and closed his eyes as he leaned back in his seat, thinking about his previous life and this life.
"Why? You look like you have a lot of emotions?”Jia Ming looked at Liu Hai as he drove. He stopped at a red light and asked Liu Hai.
" Indeed, it's been three years. This city has become a lot stranger. I feel like I don't fit in with this city. I came to this city with my uncle when I was seventeen. I thought I could live a stable life from now on, but I didn't expect..." Liu Hai turned his head to look at Jia Ming and shook his head.
Jia Ming snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it out of the window." I've been in this place my entire life and I've seen through everything. How much can you see through? But you're much more mature than before."
Liu Hai didn't reply. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he was really panicking. He didn't know how to face this strange yet familiar time and space in the future. Fortunately, he was going to school with a new classmate in three months. He was 20 years younger and had a new youth. Moreover, he had a different entertainment culture treasure in his mind. He was confident that his life would be exciting.
"Uncle, where are we going?"
"Go to your current home. You can live there in the future. Find a partner and live well."
"Uncle, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal and a drink in a few days."
"Sure,"
Soon, the car arrived at a residential area. Liu Hai looked around. Huayu District. In Liu Hai's memories from his previous life, it was a high-end residential area on the edge of the Third Ring Road. A small square meter would cost six to seven million yuan. At this time, the housing prices had not risen. A house like this was currently around 1000 yuan per square meter. It could be bought with a few hundred thousand yuan. If there was a chance, he would buy a few more. When he was poor, he could live his life as a rental company.
Liu Hai got out of the car with his luggage and followed Jia Ming to a building. He looked at Jia Ming and then at the building. Jia Ming seemed to notice his gaze. He glanced at the building and said,"This is a house specially prepared for you. Although it's a little old, it's still a three-bedroom house."
This was an old five-story building. The house given by the factory was on the third floor. Jia Ming took out the key from his bag and opened the door."Come in,"
The room had three bedrooms and one living room. It could be lived in with a handbag. The furniture was new. It was obvious that they had just moved in. Although the decoration was a little old, it was still clean. Liu Hai was quite satisfied. After all, he was a person who had no fixed residence. He felt a sense of belonging when he suddenly had a place to keep warm.
" Daily necessities. You can buy them not far from here. This place is closer to the school and factory." Jia Ming handed the keys to Liu Hai and left.
After Liu Hai sent Jia Ming downstairs, he returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. He rubbed his face with his hands and habitually touched his pockets. Only then did he realize that cell phones were not popular in this era. What time was it? These days, sigh!
Liu Hai stood up and looked around the room. There was nothing but furniture. Liu Hai looked at the envelope on the sofa and opened it. There were three stacks of unopened bills, all of which were 100 yuan. The familiar blue four heads made Liu Hai feel lost, as if he had never changed. He was still living in that time and space. Forget it. The Liu Hai from the past was the Liu Hai from now on. At this moment, Liu Hai found that he was much more spiritually relieved. The tense life he had been living for two years had suddenly relaxed a lot. Suddenly, Liu Hai felt that his dantian, which had not moved for a long time, was restless. Liu Hai quickly sat on the sofa and posed with his heart in the sky.
