The Pentium Era - South to North

Huang Meili's whole body was immersed in the dim light. She sat there, looking out the window, motionless for a long time. The faint light coming in from the window roughly outlined the silhouette of her face.

As soon as she arrived here, Huang Meili seemed to be a different person. She was no longer the fast-talking, giggling Huang Meili, but the silent, even a little melancholy Huang Meili.

When Liu Ligan felt that she might have forgotten that there was another person on the opposite side, Huang Meili said softly: "Look at that door."

Liu Ligan turned to look outside. Following Huang Meili's gaze, he saw a stainless steel spiral staircase at the end of the garden. Going up the stairs, it led to the second floor of the six-story building next door.

There is a dark red door at the end of the stairs. A solitary light shines on the door frame. The dim yellow light illuminates the entire spiral staircase below. In the light, there are small flying insects flying. The dark red door is illuminated by the light. Inside, looking over from them, one could clearly see that the paint on the door was peeling off.

"Do you know what's in this door?"

Huang Meili asked softly, and Liu Ligan couldn't help lowering his voice and replied that he didn't know.

"There was a very beautiful girl." Huang Meili sighed, "I saw her standing at the door once, and she only stood for a short minute or two. I never saw her again, but I know, She was in that room, and every time I came, I would watch here, waiting for her to come out, but I just didn’t see it.”

Liu Ligan chuckled softly: "How do you know she is still inside if I didn't see her?"

"Intuition, really, I can intuitively feel her behind that door." Huang Meili sighed again and asked Liu Ligan: "Do you think I have fallen in love with her?"

"It's possible." Liu Ligan nodded.

After a moment of silence, Huang Meili said in a very firm tone: "No, I didn't fall in love with her, I was envious of her."

"You envy her? What do you envy?"

"She can stay at home so quietly all the time. I can't stay at home. You don't know how much people like me who can't stay at home really want to stay at home."

"That's not easy, just don't go out."

"You don't understand, if you are at home and your heart is outside, you are not staying." Huang Meili sighed in an almost soliloquy tone: "There is no way, if I can't stay, I can't stay. I just can't stay at home. live."

"Is there anything at home that makes you unable to stay?" Liu Ligan asked.

Huang Meili remained silent. This silence gave the darkness around her a sad taste.

If the light was bright now, Liu Ligan felt that he would definitely be able to see Huang Meili's frowning brows, and maybe he could also see tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

The two people faced each other in the dark and were silent again.

"By the way, Lao Ma, do you have a girlfriend?" After a while of silence, Huang Meili asked suddenly.

Liu Ligan hesitated for a moment and replied, "No."

"strangeness."

"What's weird?"

"You look fancy, you should have many girlfriends."

"It turns out there was, and she dumped him." Liu Li said angrily.

Huang Meili chuckled: "You deserve it, you deserve to be dumped a few more times."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just think you should be like this."

"Inhumane."

"Lao Ma."

"what?"

"After dinner later, how about we go to your place?"

Of course Liu Ligan wanted to take this person back to his door and deal with it, but he thought of Wenwen and Qianqian. It would be terrible if they discovered this. Women say it doesn't matter on their lips, but in fact they have a big problem in their hearts. , about Jiajia, Liu Ligan was chased and tortured by them for a long time.

"No." Liu Ligan said.

"Why, Lao Ma?"

"The place where I live is dirty and smelly."

"I do not care."

"I...I live with a friend." Liu Ligan said.

"Oh, forget it." Huang Meili said, "By the way, what time is it now?"

Liu Ligan looked at his watch and said to her, "Ten past eight."

Huang Meili stood up, swept the floor, and closed the curtains. This action was so sudden that Liu Ligan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"When the time comes, I set a rule for myself. I wait for her until eight o'clock every time. Even if she shows up after eight o'clock, I will pretend that she is not waiting."

Huang Meili said, walked to the door, turned on the light, stuck her head out the door and called: "Xiaolan."

Someone came up the stairs and stood in the corridor and asked, "Miss Huang, did you call me?"

"Yes, you help us arrange it." Huang Meili told her. After saying that, she retracted her head into the door, closed the door, walked over, and sat down opposite Liu Ligan again. When Liu Ligan saw her, he returned to his original position. What it looks like during the day.

"It's your turn, Lao Ma, to report on the afternoon's work." Huang Meili raised her eyebrows and said to Liu Ligan.

Liu Ligan told her about going to the airport in the afternoon.

"Smart, Lao Ma!" Huang Meili patted her right hand on the table and praised, "Lao Ma, your image in my mind is getting bigger and bigger now. Tell me, how could you have thought of that?" This one?"

Liu Ligan smiled and said: "I was very worried in the office in the afternoon. I saw a plane flying outside and got an idea."

Huang Meili tilted her head and looked at Liu Ligan. Liu Ligan could see that although her eyes stayed on him, her attention had already wandered to nowhere.

"By the way, Lao Ma, do you think there is a business opportunity here?" Huang Meili asked.

"What business opportunity?"

"We send people to fly every day to help people carry these urgent things from Haicheng to various cities. Will the business be very good?"

"We also have to buy tickets for people, and here we only charge 100 yuan, so it's not a big loss." Liu Ligan said with a smile.

"Idiot, get together. Haicheng is so big. You're not the only one who wants to send things to Beijing every day." Huang Meili said, "You think, it's okay to bring hundreds of pieces of luggage for one person. If we don’t want a hundred, we’ll just charge fifty. If you do the math, you can still make a lot of money after deducting the air tickets.”

"Yes, I didn't expect it. It's true when you said it." Liu Ligan said, "Besides, we don't need each other to go to the airport to wait, and we deliver it directly to people's doors. It must be very popular."

"Come on, Lao Ma, let's just set up a company." Huang Meili said, "Let's call it Huang Liu Company. Huang is me and Liu is you. We are the two prides of the world."

"Let's call it Liu Huang. Add some saltpeter and some charcoal and you can make a bomb." Liu Ligan said with a smile.

"Oh, I'm serious." Huang Meili said.

"I'm serious, it's not good, it sounds like a landlord's manor, it's the kind of shabby landlord."

Huang Meili raised her eyebrows: "When you say that, it really sounds like, OK, I don't want it anymore, you come and get one."

"It's ready-made. It's called beautiful. Beautiful and timely. Timely means fast. We first register the company and then rent a shop on the street to collect such documents. People who need it will come to us. Not only in Haicheng, but also in other cities, they also need to send it to Haicheng, not just Haicheng, but other cities as well, why can’t Beijing send it to Shanghai?”

"Isn't that going to be a big deal?"

"Are you afraid of causing trouble?"

"Don't be afraid. The bigger the better. Who is afraid of having more money?"

The two people talked more and more enthusiastically, and Liu Ligan shouted: "Okay, then let's make 'beautiful and timely documents' bloom everywhere."

"Good job Lao Ma, this is a good idea, beauty and timeliness? Beauty is okay, but timeliness is not good, like swearing, timeliness, Lao Ma, you want to scare me to death!" Huang Meili said, and she laughed, Liu Ligan also laughed.

Liu Ligan thought for a moment and said, "That's called Beautiful Express. It's simple and easy to understand."

Huang Meili clapped her hands and shouted: "Okay, this is it, Beautiful Express. Okay, that's it. Let's register a Beautiful Express company right away. I will be the chairman, you will be the general manager, you will be the chairman, and I will be the general manager." Okay, whatever you want..."

"Great!" Liu Ligan also clapped his hands, "This business can be done, and we will definitely make a lot of money."

"Really? Next we will be the female boss and the male boss."

"Yes, next you go to the women's cell and I go to the men's cell." Liu Ligan said with a smile.

Huang Meili asked curiously: "What kind of concubine?"

"Women's prison." Liu Ligan said, "Do you know this is illegal? In our country, the postal service is exclusively run by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. We are already robbing their jobs and will go to jail."

"No, no, I won't do it." Huang Meili quickly waved her hand, "I heard people say that the prison is full of bedbugs and fleas, and I don't want to go."

Liu Ligan couldn't help but laugh.

Huang Meili grimaced and was stunned for a while. She said: "What a good business opportunity, it was wasted like this. Why do you have to go to jail for doing this? Isn't it reasonable?"

"If you don't say it, it doesn't mean you say it. The law is ruthless."

Huang Meili stretched out her hand, took Liu Ligan's hand, shook it, and said coquettishly: "Lao Ma, what should we do? Our dream of getting rich is shattered."

Someone knocked on the door twice, then it was pushed open and the waiter started serving them food.

Liu Ligan raised his cup and said to Huang Meili, "Come and drink to the demise of our dream of getting rich."

Huang Meili giggled, raised her glass, and said, "Okay, because of these two unlucky guys, we only made a fortune in less than ten minutes."
