Chapter 76: The Sad Shen Jiaze
Shen Jiaze only went to the detention center once in his life, and he only made a friend Li Yu in the detention center. The two were friends in distress.
After leaving the detention center, Shen Jiaze lost his job and his wife started to make trouble with him. Soon the two of them went through the divorce procedures. After dealing with these bad things, he returned to Yuhai, first found a temporary job and made a living, and then sent a resume to his favorite unit while working, but so far, he has not received any response.
In the past few months, Shen Jiaze occasionally thinks of Li Yu, but since Li Yu left him only an address, no more convenient contact information such as phone number, prestige, etc., he did not contact Li Yu. After all, the two met in the detention center. Without further contact, he rashly ran to Li Yu's residence to visit, which was always a bit inappropriate.
From the bottom of my heart, Shen Jiaze has a very good impression of Li Yu. He thinks he is smart, polite, and has superb martial arts skills. He is a good friend. Shen Jiaze really hopes to continue this friendship.
It was precisely because of this idea that when he received a call from Li Yu, Shen Jiaze couldn't help but be overjoyed and wished he could ask about Li Yu's current situation within a minute.
Li Yu was infected by Shen Jiaze's enthusiasm. He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, the things you asked are all about a long story. How about it? Are you free today? How about I treat you to a meal?"
"If you have time, you have time." Shen Jiaze said generously, "You choose a place and I'll treat you to dinner. After all, you're going to call me a big brother."
After making an appointment with Li Yu for a meal, Shen Jiaze hung up the phone. He frowned and sat in his seat for a while, then stood up, walked to a colleague's table, bent down and whispered:
"Xiao Yang, can you lend me 200 yuan? I want to invite an old friend to dinner today, for fear that I don't have enough money... If I don't spend it, I will pay you back as soon as I go to work tomorrow. If I spend it, I'll probably have to wait for the salary to pay you..."
With the remaining 200 yuan and the 200 yuan borrowed from a colleague, Shen Jiaze was reluctant to take a taxi and took the bus to the place he agreed with Li Yu.
This is an ordinary home-cooked restaurant called Bai Yanrenjia, named after a river called Bai Yanhe flowing behind the restaurant. When Shen Jiaze arrived at the restaurant, Li Yu had arrived in advance. He asked for a table beside the window. Through the bright glass window, you can see the slowly flowing Bai Yanhe River. The lights on both sides of the river are reflected on the water surface, like a river full of gold, which is quite artistic.
"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Seeing Shen Jiaze coming, Li Yu quickly got up, shook hands with Shen Jiaze, and then sat down face to face.
Because Shen Jiaze insisted on paying the bill, Li Yu did not argue with him. Shen Jiaze called the waiter and ordered a few decent dishes, and ordered a few bottles of beer. Then he started chatting with Li Yu with a smile.
"Xiao Li, how about it? Those hooligans didn't cause trouble for you again, did he ask Shen Jiaze.
Li Yu said: "I have found it once. They asked a self-proclaimed expert to help, but they didn't get any advantage in front of me, so they didn't dare to come back later."
"Haha, that's good. I'm still worried that you will be bullied by them in Yuhai."
"I have made a few friends during this period, and I can find someone to help with ordinary things."
"By the way, what job are you doing now?"
"Uh...I'm doing something in a restaurant now." Li Yu replied vaguely.
Shen Jiaze really misunderstood that Li Yu was working in a restaurant. When he entered the door just now, he quickly looked at Li Yu's clothes and found that Li Yu was wearing very ordinary clothes, looking like a street stall product, and probably his income would not be too high. He said in an encouraging tone: "You are still young, just starting out, it's good to have a job. If you work hard, you will definitely have a better chance in the future."
"I can do it." Li Yu said, and then asked, "Brother Shen, how are you doing now?"
Shin Jiaze smiled reluctantly and said, "Oh, let's be at a low point for the time being."
"how?"
"Didn't my last incident beating our boss? After I came out, I lost my job and my boss even broke the medical expenses. Later, something happened at home. My wife and I divorced. I left the house alone and returned to Yuhai alone. Now I found a temporary job and my income was relatively average. If it were put in the past, my brother would treat you to a meal, I would definitely not go to such a small restaurant, but now I can only give it up. Xiao Li, don't you blame me for being neglected, right?"
Shen Jiaze simply talked about his experience in the past few months, with a faint smile on his face. No matter what, he was once a middle-class white-collar worker. In front of a worker like Li Yu who had just arrived in the city, he still had to maintain some self-esteem and reserve.
"Look at what Brother Shen said." Li Yu said, "I should have invited Brother Shen."
"That's not possible." Shen Jiaze said, "You just arrived in the city. How much money can you earn when working in a restaurant? Although I am a little embarrassed now, I am a thin camel older than a horse... By the way, Xiao Li, call me, is there anything you want to find me?"
Li Yu said: "Brother Shen guessed, I really want to ask you something. Of course, I have never seen Brother Shen since I came out of the detention center. Even if there is nothing to do, I should go and visit it."
"Yeah, I've been busy all the time and didn't care about seeing you. You said you had something to ask me, what's the matter?" Shen Jiaze asked.
Li Yu simply said his thoughts, of course, he omitted the people and things about Ma Lei and Mei Tianfu, but said that he felt that his knowledge level was too low and he knew too little about modern technology, so he wanted to find an opportunity to learn something.
"This is a good thing!" Shin Jiaze said happily, "It will be very difficult for you to recognize this. You seem to be only 18 years old this year? It is a good time to learn things. What kind of knowledge do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn electronic technology." Li Yu said.
"Why do you think about learning electronic technology?" Shen Jiaze asked curiously.
Li Yu explained: "I saw others building some monitoring equipment, automatic control and other things, and I thought it was amazing, so I wanted to learn this technology. Why, Brother Shen, do you think I can learn it based on my foundation?"
When he was in the detention center, Li Yu once told Shen Jiaze that his knowledge was taught by an old Taoist priest in the mountains. His foundation in ancient Chinese was pretty good, but he was completely blank in mathematics, physics and chemistry. He had never been exposed to English at all. Even Ge Jianyu taught him 26 letters temporarily. With such a foundation, it is very difficult to learn electronic technology. However, Shen Jiaze did not want to hit Li Yu's ambition, so he nodded and said:
"It's up to humans. If you don't have a foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry, it will be difficult to learn electronic technology directly. I suggest you go to a tutoring school first, make up for junior high school courses, and then apply for a self-study exam for electronic technology, or a vocational and technical school, so that you can learn it systematically."
Shen Jiaze himself studied electronic technology and knew all the best of what prerequisite courses are needed in this subject, the relationship between different knowledge points in the entire subject system. He took out paper and pen, and while speaking, he drew a context diagram of the entire knowledge system for Li Yu. After drawing a picture, Li Yu felt that he had already understood this field.
"Thank you, Brother Shen, for helping me solve my doubts. I know much more clearly in my mind now." Li Yu said with a smile. He always thought that electronic technology is so mysterious. After hearing Shen Jiaze explain it so hard that he realized that the principles are not complicated. At least if he just wants to understand them as an application, it should not be very difficult.
At this time, the food and food had been served. The two of them simply made a few polite words and started eating and drinking, chatting about gossip. Li Yu has experienced a lot in the past few months, but not much can be said to Shen Jiaze, so they only focus on listening. However, Shen Jiaze talked about his own experience, which made people sigh.
"Brother Shen, you are capable, why haven't you ever thought about starting a company by yourself? Instead of looking at other people's faces all day long and not doing it happily, it's better to start your own business. You just said that you have several good products with great market potential. Wouldn't it be much better to do it yourself than to give it to your boss?" Li Yu suggested to Shen Jiaze.
"I thought about it too." Shin Jiaze said frankly, "I did think about doing a company myself. Unfortunately, before I could put it into practice, the last incident happened. Later, my wife had a divorce with me and all the money I saved was spent. Now I am empty, and I still talk about starting a business."
"That's it..." Li Yu nodded slightly, and an idea came to his mind, but he didn't know whether it was appropriate to say it.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Shen Jiaze stood up, greeted Li Yu, and then walked towards the bathroom.
"It's choking!"
The sound of tableware falling to the ground sounded not far away. Then, a woman heard a screaming, and a male voice beside her was apologizing repeatedly. Li Yu, who was thinking about things, was alarmed by the sound, and vaguely felt that the male voice was a bit like Shen Jiaze's voice, and couldn't help but look back.
Not far behind her, a young woman in a white dress was pointing at Shen Jiaze excitedly and shouting something. Shen Jiaze in front of her looked depressed and nodded constantly, as if she was apologizing. Next to them, there was a helpless waiter holding a broken bowl that had just been picked up from the ground.
