The Era of Hard Work

In the large private room of the Crown Hotel, Lu Dong stood up and proposed, "Let's toast and drink together, and wish Ivan a smooth journey."

It is the first time that the founding team of Lu's Catering has left!

Lu Dong was full of emotion in his heart, Great Ivan is a friend, a partner, and even a good teacher and helpful friend!

Song Na, Qiao Weiguo, Du Xiaobing, Xu Man, Natasha and others raised their glasses one after another. Da Yiwan clinked glasses with everyone one by one, probably because he has lived in Taidong for many years, and the wine table is also contaminated with the habits of Taidong people.

"I'll do it first!" Big Ivan drank a glass of white wine without changing his face: "Thank you! Thank you! You can do whatever you want."

Most of the men drank the wine in the cup, and the women drank the drink, and they all drank a glass.

Big Ivan waved his long-haired hands and said, "Having friends like you is my biggest achievement in China. I hope that one day I can treat everyone to a drink in Moscow!"

Du Xiaobing said: "Ivan, it's okay, just for your drink, I'm going to Moscow too."

Lu Dong laughed: "Let's go together and open the store to Moscow by the way."

Yiwan clinked glasses with Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing: "You must come!"

A friend wants to travel far away, and he may never come back after leaving, and the sorrow of parting also infected Lu Dong.

He, who rarely drank normally, swallowed the wine in his glass in one gulp: "Ivan, when we go, I will leave everything to you."

Ivan also toasted: "Good!"

Du Xiaobing then toasted: "Brother, I won't say anything else, everything is in the wine."

The three of them finished their drinks and refilled them.

Qiao Weiguo came over to have a drink with Big Ivan again. He didn't talk much, just said: "Ivan, have a good trip."

Then, Song Na, Xu Man, and Big Ivan each had a drink.

When it came to Natasha, Westerners may express their emotions more directly. Natasha cried and said a few words to Big Ivan in Russian. In the end, the two drank a glass of wine, and Natasha sat back and stopped talking.

Song Na comforted Natasha, and when she turned her head to look, Lu Dong, Yiwan, Du Xiaobing and Qiao Weiguo had another drink.

Big Ivan was going to go back to Moscow, thousands of miles away, and he might never come back again. A bunch of old friends got together, and it was inevitable that they drank a little too much.

This time, Song Na didn't bother Lu Dong drinking either.

The Crown Hotel is currently the highest grade in the University City. The private rooms are equipped with KTV equipment. Although Big Ivan has a large drinking capacity, everyone can't help drinking with him. After a while, the people who drink will get excited, and ask the private room attendant to turn on the equipment. go singing.

He and Du Xiaobing, who also drank too much, put their arms around their necks, each took a microphone, and shouted in Chinese.

"...friends walk together for a lifetime, those days are no longer there, a word for a lifetime, a glass of wine for a lifetime..."

After singing here, Ivan and Du Xiaobing clinked glasses again.

Big Ivan also knew that after he left, he might never come back, and then he held a cup and looked for people to drink one by one, the women shook hands, and the men hugged.

Finally, he came to Lv Dong and clinked glasses with Lv Dong again: "Lv Dong, I am very happy to meet you, and I will never forget it."

"Ivan, we are friends, good friends!" Lu Dong also drank a lot, and he rarely spoke directly in the past: "The first time I saw you, I knew that you were worth paying for!"

He took the wine glass and touched Big Ivan's wine glass vigorously: "Good buddy, come back and have a look when you have time, this is your second hometown, and we are all your family."

After drinking, Ivan opened his bear-like arms and hugged Lu Dong tightly: "Good brother!"

Maybe the foreigner's feelings are more open and his expression is more direct. Lu Dong can feel that the big Ivan is holding his arm very hard.

"Good brother!" Lu Dong patted Big Ivan on the back: "Bon voyage!"

Big Ivan let go of his hand, and he could see that he was very excited.

In fact, for Lu Dong in front of him, Big Ivan is not only friendly, but also kind of grateful.

Because of personal living habits, although my father has worked here for many years, he does not have much savings, so it may not be easy to return to Russia rashly.

But he cooperated with Lu Dong to invest in the company, and got a lot of rewards. After returning to Russia, the whole family settled in Moscow relatively easily, instead of going to those small cities.

Du Xiaobing came over, grabbed Lu Dong's shoulders, and pointed to the KTV in the private room: "Aren't you going to sing a song for Big Yiwan to practice?"

Lu Dong seldom sang in front of people because he knew how good he was at singing, but the big Ivan was about to leave, and he drank a lot of wine, so he was unavoidably impulsive: "Okay!"

He nodded at Big Ivan: "I wish you a smooth journey."

It is the first time that the founding team of Lu's Catering has left...

When Lu Dong went to the front, Song Na raised her hand to touch him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you drunk?"

"Not drunk!" Lu Dong went over and said to the waiter in the private room, "I wish you the best of luck."

The piano prelude sounded, and a small platform at dusk appeared on the screen, with the music of parting, which aroused the emotional resonance of the people in the private room.

But as Lu Dong sang the lyrics, the atmosphere was immediately destroyed.

"The day we knew you were leaving, we didn't say a word... That day we sent you to the end, and we didn't leave a word. When the crowded platform squeezed the people who were bidding farewell, but they couldn't squeeze out my deep love. Sorrow..."

Xu Man's mouth was twisted, Lu Dong's singing voice was too scary.

Du Xiaobing had the urge to plug his ears, but fortunately he still remembered that he asked Lu Dong to sing.

Song Na covered her face, wanting to say that she didn't know the person who was singing.

This is the first and last time that I will come out with Lu Dong in the future, and I will not let him sing.

But Big Ivan clapped his hands. He grew up in China, understood the meaning of the lyrics, and knew the backstory of the song.

The best friend, the closest brother, had to be temporarily separated because of life.

Perhaps it was because of the true feelings mixed in the singing, Big Ivan was very moved.

Lu Dong's tone-deaf singing voice seemed to come from a roar.

"I know you have a thousand words, but you don't want to say it. You know I'm so worried and sad, but I dare not say it. When you pack your bags and unload the glory, I can only let the tears stay From the bottom of my heart, with a slight smile on my face, I waved vigorously, wishing you a smooth journey..."

At best, Big Ivan thought about leaving this city and country where he had lived for seven or eight years, and going to live in a brand new city called his hometown, but his memory was really vague, with mixed emotions in his heart.

This brawny man like a brown bear even wiped away two tears.

At the end of the singing, the rhythm of the music was already out of tune. Lu Dong simply stopped singing and shouted into the microphone: "I can only bless you deeply, bless you deeply, dearest friend, I wish you the best of luck!"

Big Ivan ran forward and hugged Lu Dong again, Du Xiaobing went over with the wine bottle, and then everyone went over...

Everyone sang, drank, and took photos.

Because most people feel that this parting may never be seen again.

Starting today, the founding team of Lu's Catering has lost one person.

That person is called Ivan Sokolov!

Tonight, because of seeing off Ivan, Lu Dong got drunk for the first time.

Big Ivan was picked up, and those who drank less left one after another. Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing drank second only to Big Ivan. Song Na simply opened two rooms in the hotel, and together with Qiao Weiguo and Xu Man, sent the two of them to the hotel. Go in and rest.

Song Na asked Qiao Weiguo and Xu Man to take care of Lao Du. Lao Du got a little excited after drinking and kept talking to people.

Lü Dong has one advantage. He gets drowsy after drinking too much. Song Na put the drowsy Lv Dong on the bed after a lot of effort, and found that there is another disadvantage when he is tall and strong. It's really difficult.

Fortunately, she has practiced sports since she was a child, and her strength is much stronger than that of ordinary women.

Putting down Lu Dong, Song Na went to find a towel and wiped Lu Dong's face when it was wet.

After drinking too much, Lu Dong fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and Song Na tossed and tossed about without any reaction.

"Slept like a pig."

Muttering in her mouth, Song Na was not slow in her hands, and took off Lu Dong's shoes again, and wiped the feet with a wet towel again: "I don't know if I ask someone to carry it out and sell it by the catty."

After simply scrubbing Lu Dong, I found the remote control of the air conditioner and adjusted it to a temperature suitable for sleeping.

Song Na brought a bottle of mineral water and put it within Lu Dong's reach, then picked up her bag and left the room.

Xu Man just came out from the opposite room.

"How's it going?" Song Na pointed to the room with her chin.

Xu Man shrugged, tilted his mouth and said: "If you insist on pulling Wei Guo to talk, Wei Guo asked me to go back first, I can't take advantage of others' danger,"

The two stood in the corridor talking, Xu Man asked, "Is your guy okay?"

Song Na smiled: "He sleeps when he drinks too much, and he probably won't sleep until tomorrow morning."

Xu Man said: "It's really easy. I don't smoke, and I don't drink too much alcohol. If I drink too much, I go to bed. You will save a lot of trouble in the future."

Song Na leaned against the wall and said, "This guy is too heavy, and it takes a lot of effort to lift him up."

"Stall and strong." Xu Man turned to say: "Old Du is always joking and happy, and he is an optimist. I just heard him talk about drinking, so I know that he also has troubles."

Song Na casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Man said: "He told his family more than once that that woman, Sun Sha, was not a good thing, but his family just didn't believe it, and kept trying to match Lao Du with that woman, and Lao Du was about to be tossed neurasthenia."

Song Na had some guesses: "Probably that girl will behave especially in front of Lao Du's parents."

Xu Man nodded: "Maybe that's the case."

Song Na continued: "Everyone believes that seeing is believing. According to Lao Du, that woman's family is not ordinary. It may be beneficial for the two families to marry."

Xu Man shrugged her shoulders and cocked her mouth: "Who knows." After working for more than a year, she gradually matured: "Thinking about it now, I was quite naive at that time. I only thought about Lao Du's good looks and good family conditions. , if you find him, you can save twenty years of struggle."

She asked Song Na: "Don't laugh at me, that's what I thought at the time, Tu Laodu is good-looking, and his family conditions are good."

"Why am I making fun of you." Song Na couldn't help laughing at herself: "Maybe in the eyes of some people, I am the same."

Xu Man said: "You are different, Lu Dongqiong jingle, you are together."

Song Na told the truth: "He and I were just old classmates and good friends at that time."

Xu Man said back to herself: "I understand now that even if I can pass Lao Du's test, I can't pass his family's test."

Song Na thinks about Lao Du and that Sun Sha who has been entangled all the time, this possibility is very big.

After chatting for a while, Song Na asked Xu Man to go back first, and go back to see Lu Dong by herself. She wanted to go back, but she was worried, so she called her family and said that she would stay in the dormitory if something happened, and she would guard Lu Dong here.
