Chapter 254 Unexpected Expectations?
Hearing this, Rong Yu raised a playful smile, his eyes flashing with surprise and expectation: "Oh, Luo Luo, your suggestion is really exciting! I haven't relaxed for a long time, let's drink and chat tonight, and don't leave until we are drunk!"
As the night deepened, the lights of the city dotted the sky like stars. In a quiet bar hidden behind the bustling city, Tong Luoluo and Rong Yu sat opposite each other. The lights in the bar were dim, and the melody of jazz music floated leisurely, adding a bit of laziness and comfort to this small world.
"I'm ashamed to say that ever since the launch of the 'Green Watcher' project, my head has been full of environmental protection issues. I almost forgot that there is poetry and distant places in life!" Tong Luoluo gently shook the wine glass in her hand. The red wine in it was like blood, reflecting the determination and fatigue in her eyes.
Rong Yu chuckled, raised his glass and clinked it with Tong Luoluo's: "Luolu, you are always like this, forgetting everything else once you get into it. However, this is also the most charming thing about you. Come, for our green dream and for the occasional escape, cheers!"
The two smiled at each other and drank the red wine in the glass as promised. In the corner of the bar, a resident singer slowly opened his mouth, and his low voice was like the wind in the night, gently blowing through every inch of space.
"In fact, sometimes I envy you, Rong Yu." Tong Luoluo's voice was particularly clear in the intervals between the music, "You can always find a balance between being busy and relaxing, but I always seem to be running and forget how to stop."
“Thinking back to when we were working here part-time, we encountered such things!” Rong Yu was a little emotional!
"you do not say!"
Rong Yu's eyes became deep, as if he had penetrated time and space and returned to those youthful years. "I remember that time, we just came here to work part-time, and we were all rookies, and everything in the bar was so new and unfamiliar." He chuckled and continued, "On the first day of work, I almost made a mistake in the customer's order. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating."
Tong Luoluo also laughed, with a hint of warmth and nostalgia in her smile: "Yeah, I still remember the first time I tried to make a cocktail, I accidentally mistook salt for sugar. The customer took a sip and his expression was distorted as if he had eaten a lemon. I was so scared that I almost threw the bottle away."
“There was another time,” Rong Yu continued, a smile flickering in his eyes, “the power suddenly went out in the bar, and the whole place was pitch black, and the guests started to panic. The two of us were like headless flies, groping for the emergency light, and we accidentally bumped into each other, and both of us had bumps on our heads.”
Tong Luoluo covered her mouth and chuckled, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yes, yes! Although it was hard back then, I had endless energy every day and felt that every challenge was so interesting. Now that I think about it, that time was really precious."
“Yes,” Rong Yu said with deep emotion, “Although we often encountered troubles at that time, we were always able to work together to overcome the difficulties.”
"If it weren't for you, I might still be with Rong Xi now!" Tong Luoluo said!
As Tong Luoluo finished speaking, the lights in the bar seemed to flicker slightly, as if they were also touched by this memory. Rong Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of complex emotions. He gently stirred the wine in the glass and slowly said: "Luoluo, you know what? At that time, I didn't expect that we would go from part-time partners to teammates fighting side by side like today."
"Yeah," Tong Luoluo responded with emotion, "I remember at the beginning, I was almost fired by the manager because I accidentally spilled the wine. It was you who interceded for me, saying that we should share the loss, that allowed me to stay."
Rong Yu smiled, with a hint of pride and warmth in his smile: "Of course, I don't want to lose such an interesting partner. Besides, I think you have a spirit of not admitting defeat, so I know you will become something great in the future."
"Achieve great things?" Tong Luoluo blinked, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips. "At that time, I just thought it would be good to have a foothold in this city. I didn't expect that now we are really working hard to change the world."
"Changing the world sounds like a distant dream." Rong Yu's eyes became deep, "But in fact, it starts with every small action. Just like we work part-time here, we have learned how to face difficulties and how to stay calm under pressure. These are all indispensable to the 'Green Watcher' project."
"That's right." Tong Luoluo nodded, his eyes firm, "Every step counts, and every challenge makes us stronger. Just like the power outage, although we were panicked, we still found a solution together."
"And we even found the bar's secret storage room!" Rong Yu laughed. It was obvious that he still enjoyed the memory. "It was full of precious wines. We secretly tasted it, but the manager found out and we were almost punished to clean the toilet."
“Haha, that was really thrilling and exciting.” Tong Luoluo also laughed, with a bit of relief in his smile, “Thinking about it now, we were really fearless back then. But now, sometimes I get scared, scared that our efforts won’t be enough to change anything.”
Rong Yu's eyes became serious, and he gently held Tong Luoluo's hand: "Luolu, don't be afraid. We are already on the road, and every step counts. Even if we feel powerless sometimes, we must believe that as long as we persist, there will be an impact. Just like every drop of wine here, it will eventually converge into a river and flow to the distance."
Tong Luoluo looked at Rong Yu, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. She took a deep breath, as if absorbing this strength into her heart: "You are right, we can't stop just because of fear. Come, for our courage to move forward, let's have another drink!"
The two raised their glasses again, and the music in the bar seemed to become more passionate, as if to cheer them on. In the corner, the resident singer sang more affectionately, and every note seemed to be accompanying their dreams.
Just then, the door of the bar was gently pushed open, and a cool breeze blew in, bringing a hint of fresh air.
Just at this moment they saw a familiar figure!
"Isn't that the yellow-haired guy?" Rong Yu said!
"Y/n, why is this guy here?"
They all knew that this guy was definitely not a pushover! As long as he showed up in that place, something would definitely happen!
"Yellow Hair? Why is he here?" Tong Luoluo frowned slightly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. In this quiet bar, the appearance of Yellow Hair is undoubtedly like a time bomb, which makes people feel uneasy.
Rong Yu's eyes also became solemn. He gently put down the wine glass in his hand and stared at the familiar figure at the door. Huang Mao, a guy who is famous for disrupting the industry, his appearance is always accompanied by trouble and disputes.
"It looks like tonight won't be very peaceful." Rong Yu said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness and vigilance in his voice.
"What should we do?" Tong Luoluo asked, with a flicker of anxiety in her eyes. She knew how powerful Huang Mao was, and she also knew that this guy would never easily let go of any opportunity to cause trouble.
"Let's wait and see." Rong Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes still fixed on the yellow-haired man, "Let's first see what his purpose is in coming here."
Huangmao pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced around the bar and finally landed on Tong Luoluo and Rong Yu. He raised a playful smile and walked slowly towards them.
"Hey, aren't these our two busy people? Why don't you come to the bar and relax for a while when you have some time tonight?" The yellow-haired man's voice was tinged with sarcasm and provocation.
Tong Luoluo frowned even more tightly, and she looked at Huangmao coldly: "Huangmao, what are you doing here? We don't seem to have any intersection."
"Haha, Luo Luo, you are wrong." Huang Mao laughed loudly. His laughter echoed in the bar, which was particularly harsh. "We are in the same industry. How can we say that we have no intersection?"
"A colleague? Are you worthy?" Rong Yu sneered, his eyes flashing with disdain and anger, "Your opportunistic tricks can also be considered as a colleague of ours?"
"Hey, Rong Yu, don't say that." Huang Mao's smile became even brighter, and his eyes moved between the two of them. "Although we do things differently, our goals are the same, which is to pursue success."
"Success?" Tong Luoluo raised her voice a little, her eyes flashing with anger, "We don't agree with your unscrupulous approach to success."
