Chapter 2 Why is it always you

After arriving at the airport, the old man was about to get off the bus. He seemed to have forgotten the money-making work he mentioned, and Zhao Mai did not ask.

Although the family affairs made him feel so stumped, he still had to do the best politeness he should have. The old man's luggage was a big box, a big cowhide box that was a little old. The brown surface was grey and a copper lock was hung, which looked like a non-standard product. But the biggest problem with this thing was that it had no wheels, and it was very troublesome when it was carried into the trunk of the car, and even more so when it was unloaded.

Zhao Mai ran two steps quickly, pushed a luggage cart from the airport, put the box that was 40 kilograms away, and taught the elderly how to use it step by step. He also reminded the elderly to check in and not miss the check-in.

"I've taken the plane many times, and I can do it." The old man said with a smile: "You still have to make money, don't waste time with me. What a young man, go and do it."

In fact, there is nothing to be busy with. Just turn on your phone and adjust your status to "waiting for passengers". The airport is so far from the city, if you go back empty, you will lose a lot. Fortunately, the traffic here is still good. Just wait a little longer and you will always receive passengers.

The phone prompt sounded, and the old man's taxi money and ten yuan reward were brought to his account together. Zhao Mai was about to log in to the mobile banking at this time to get all the money in his account to his home, but he didn't expect that the phone, which had never had a fault, suddenly turned black.

Just in the moment before the black screen, he saw a taxi order! He couldn't get it now...

This was the slowest boot ever, and it took a full ten minutes to return to the desktop. Zhao Mai checked that there was nothing unusual about the phone, and it seemed that there was no rogue software installed, so he continued his unfinished work. He still had more than 10,000 yuan in his bank account, and left the fractions for dinner, paid rent, bought gasoline, and all the others were called home.

Maybe I should stop renting a house and live there, so that I can save some money, but this will reveal my current unemployed state. My parents are both very traditional people and will never think that writing novels online and driving taxis are serious professions, especially for his eldest son in his twenties. Although his parents said righteously that they would ignore themselves after they were eighteen years old, to be honest, they have never reduced their concerns at all.

Zhao Mai was born as an only child. When he was young, his father was often away from him. He followed the scientific research team to travel around the mountains and fields. How many times can he meet in a year? His mother had to take care of the family's food and drink. Zhao Mai lived with his grandparents for a long time, so he also experienced the life of the "little emperor". When he was called Zhao Yizhi, he was really a big shot in the family. "He opened his clothes and reached out to his hands when he was food", and he was only a little bit of a sudden and he would be raised into a waste.

Later, due to work transfer, his father stayed in the office more and stopped running around. Only then did he really arrest his education again. Zhao Mai once hated being restrained and often lost his temper. His father was not merciless, and his soles and brooms were used a lot. The relationship between the two was once tense.

Later, he heard his parents quarrel, and his mother blamed him for being too ruthless to behave his children. Zhao Mai wanted to hear how his father, who has always been strong, continues to cheat on him this time, and then go out to mock him. Unexpectedly, he heard his father say this:

"When he was young, I was not by my side. I missed him more than any of you. But it was because I loved him that he could not be a waste. I had no other requirements, I just hope that he could be a responsible person, at least he was responsible for himself, and independence was the minimum standard, right? You spoiled him too much, followed him everything, and then when he arrived in society, was drowned by the oncoming waves? At the beginning, when I hit him, he couldn't even howl, and had a fat face and laughed. Now at least I knew that I was ashamed and made fewer mistakes. How many years could I beat him? He would soon be taller than me and stronger than me, and his personality would mature. I have to change his temper before that, so as not to be ruined in your hands!"

Zhao Mai lay on the door and couldn't fully understand these words at the time, but finally remembered them in his heart. He started to not beat his father up for reasons, and gradually became a "good child". Although his grades in the exam were not good and he could only go to a second-rate high school, but later he worked hard and finally got into a first-class university.

This was not based on the relationship between the doctoral father, but was the result of his own efforts. It really made the family happy for a long time. A small car was a very rare gift at that time, which also strengthened his determination to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and also made him quite confident among his peers. The daring to fire his boss as soon as he graduated has a lot to do with this personality.

If you want to gain independence and freedom, you have to take much more risks than ordinary people. You can be a lamb in the group with your head down. If you want to make a living, you must have the spirit of a tiger or bear. Zhao Mai knows that he cannot become a completely lonely tiger and bear, and his biggest expectation is to become a bloody wolf. However, now this wolf still needs to take care of the wolf pack, especially the gradually aging head wolf.

He never smoked, but now he really wanted to come to a tree, maybe in the smoke, he could relieve his emotions. He parked the car in the temporary parking area and took out the cigarette that a passenger had once landed on the car from the glove box. As soon as he pressed the cigarette lighter, his phone rang.

It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning, and it was the one who called. Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and stabilized his mind before pressing the switch button.

"Son, how are you doing? What's going on when I saw a deposit?" Mom's voice was still gentle, but Zhao Mai could still hear a little fatigue.

"Ah, I recently got a bonus. I don't know what gifts to buy for you, so I got them all back. After all, cash is more affordable, hehe." Zhao Mai pretended to be relaxed and tried to squeeze out the smiley voice. "I am a man now. I can earn money and support my family. Just let me be filial."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and only a trembling breath came. Zhao Mai listened, his mind was completely dry and he didn't know how to speak. He wanted to say a few words to comfort his mother, but his parents had their own stubbornness, and their concealment was also a kind of kindness. And kindness should not be destroyed.

"We will be relieved if you take good care of yourself. Your father is an old stubborn person. If you can't speak good things, just understand. Remember that we all care about you very much. If you have something to do, just be busy. If you have nothing to do at home, you have younger brothers and sisters around us, you don't have to worry."

In the end, my mother didn't say anything and held the pressure on her shoulders. Zhao Mai also decided to do this, which was the characteristic of their family. After a few greetings, Zhao Mai hung up the phone. The warm time was over, and now it's time to find a way.

As my mother said, my father is a very strong and stubborn person, and he has a hint of old and pedantic temper. He always talks about things and is very serious. In other words, he is not very good at getting along with others. Zhao Mai has never seen any friends from his home since he was a child, and he rarely sees his father visiting or socializing. Even if there are some friends he doesn't know, his father will not ask for help.

My mother is an enthusiastic and kind woman, but she doesn’t know any rich people, and it’s unlikely that she wants to borrow money. Thinking about her situation, she has only graduated from the mathematics department for more than a year and has less than nine months of work. She doesn’t know a few people in society. If you want to say that the only one who has enough spare money to lend to her, then there is only a friend in the same dormitory, Wang Tianhua nicknamed "The Prince".

If he can only be summed up with one word, it is idleness, a person who does everything he likes to be a waste of life except playing. Unfortunately, he has an indescribable ugly face. Otherwise, he can still be "reputation" of a passionate young man.

Zhao Mai knows his roommate very well. He looks hilarious on the surface, but in fact he is definitely a pretentious person. He has unparalleled wariness about strangers and specifically harasses people close to him. He doesn't know which stubborn he is. He firmly believes that Zhao Mai is a good brother he can trust. After getting to know each other over and over again, he has indeed become a good brother who can talk about everything. After graduation, the two have been in frequent contact.

The phone dialed in and it was quickly connected. "Your Highness the Prince" would never get up so early. The only possibility is that he completed all night. Before Zhao Mai could speak, a heavy and hoarse voice came from the opposite side:

"Old Mai, are you still having a party this Saturday? How about I bring a new girl over here? "

"Sorry, there are some things at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to get together this week. Please tell me the friends in the group."

"Hmph, let me tell you, I'm not your micturret!" His Highness suddenly lowered his voice, and said with a slight look at the microphone: "This time the girl is very beautiful. If you don't run to the team to try out her true nature, I won't be able to do it!"

"If you are very beautiful and chasing you, you must have failed the Will check or have a very high self-deception skill. You should be careful. Moreover, the running group is just a game, not a lie detector, what can you tell? Are you still pointing at this blind date?"

"I like to play this, especially the fantasy adventure group you run. If you can't even join me, can I still expect her to live with me? Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll go and have a good night's sleep. When will the group start? Be sure to tell me, so I can fly back in advance."

"By the way, if I ask you to borrow money, how much interest will you give me?"

"You don't even ask whether I'll lend it to you?" Wang Tianhua's sniffing voice came from the receiver, and then there was a few seconds of silence. "I can make the decision if it's thousands or tens of thousands, but I won't be able to use it for a bigger one. My mother has the final say. However, we can do business together, and if it's considered investment, it's much more flexible. If you write a special project, it doesn't matter what the content is. It's okay to make or lose money. As long as there is such a procedure, my mother always wants me to come out to work and keeps pushing me. If you can help me with a few years of cover, this matter can be done."

"Do my deceiving the Queen? Let me think about it..." Zhao Mai always feels uneasy when he thinks about the aunt who was described as "fearing and arrogant" by his son, but always wants to lie to her.

"Old man, what I said just now is not teasing you. Just talk about a number when you encounter difficulties. I will always find a way better than you."

"Okay, I'll feel much more at ease with you." The two of them were so familiar that they could no longer say thank you, so they hung up the phone after a few words.

Although Wang Tianhua's family is rich, it was not caused by the strong wind. Moreover, using the money of his brother and his mother is different from using the money of his brother and mother, so Zhao Mai hung up the phone and still thought of a solution on himself. Contact the classmates and friends in the hospital and understand the relationship first so that the money can be spent in the right place. If there is a shortage in the end, he will naturally not let go of the "rich second generation". But if the money for the treatment of his father does not have his own efforts, he will not feel at ease.

He made several more calls, and two hours passed without realizing it. After he figured out the general idea, he realized that he had not opened the car rental software, so he had no orders to grab.

He lit his fingers twice, and within two seconds, the prompt sound rang and took it over. Now he made a fortune when he returned to the city. Zhao Mai hurriedly drove to exit No. 4, but the person who got on the bus was still the old man.

The heavy suitcase in his hand was gone, and he only carried a silver-white hard-shelled metal official box. It was the kind that was very common in movies, tied to the wrist of the unlucky bodyguard. It was either filled with precious gems or bombs. As soon as Zhao Mai turned his mind to this direction, his face was full of embarrassment. He smiled bitterly and said to the old man: "It seems that you have no fate with the plane, but you have a deep fate with me."

The old man narrowed Zhao Mai's eyes, his lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared: "I really didn't expect it to be you. It seems that you can't escape and you have to send me a ride. With the words you said, the old man will not treat you badly."

"Where is your big box?" Zhao Mai thought for a while, but asked. "If you get on the plane checked luggage, you have to get on the plane after checking in. There is no reason why you don't leave if the box leaves."

"I'm thinking too much. I just put the things here, but I'm not a bad guy. I'll have ten hours to go to the next flight. Although the airport hotel can make do with it, the food is too bad, so I still have to go to the city. You drive steadily, why don't you take me back here for a while? I'll keep waiting for you to not delay your money."

Zhao Mai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. There are a few of the thrilling scenes that popped up in his mind that can be realized. If you think too much, isn’t it just to scare yourself? He put down his handbrake, hung up the gear and said, “Then you sit down. Now you can get breakfast when you go back. You can speak wherever you want to go.”

"Is it okay anywhere?" The old man smiled mysteriously, picked up his phone and swiped a few times, and then said to Zhao Mai: "Then you follow the navigation."
