Couplet
Li Yao's face turned black.
What's the matter, little brother? Is your skin itchy? He was just looking to see if there was any stick he could casually grab when Zhou Li gave bouts of boot-licking without any principles.
"I feel that what Brother Cao said is very… Zhou Li had not finished talking when he saw Qi Qi's expressionless face looking at him.
Hence, he held the remaining words in his lungs.
So dangerous!
Fortunately, he had noticed Qi Qi's expression. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as a warning with a gaze!
Zhou Li had a kind of secret delight from having a close brush with death.
Li Yao said curiously, "What do you think of what Cao Rui said?"
Zhou Li said, "No, no, you heard wrongly."
You f*cking want to plot against me!
Zhou Li stared at Li Yao. Li Yao smiled and raised his liquor glass to get everyone to drink.
As for the name of the shop…
He would think of it himself.
When it gradually became late, everyone was slightly tipsy, and they scattered. When Zhou Li was leaving the venue, he had drunk a little too much and pulled Cao Rui's arm as he called him brother. "Come, Brother Cao, add me on WeChat. I like to make friends with rich people."
Qi Qi saw it and clenched her fists…
A perfect day was soon ending again.
Li Yao watched everyone leave and returned to the pub upstairs. There was a part of the area drawn by him as his living room and laboratory. Other people were prohibited from entering.
The things in the single apartment were still not moved in yet. Hence, it appeared to be more empty and spacious there.
But the daily necessities were complete.
Hence, Li Yao slept at the pub recently.
He researched alchemy knowledge and analyzed and constructed spell circuits. Thereafter, he meditated and fell asleep… He organized his time well every day. Li Yao felt that this kind of life was very good. It was easy and fun. His days were meaningful and harmonious.
Yeah, really good.
On the second day, Li Yao woke up early and jogged. When he ran to the nearby park, he practiced his inner essence at a place without anyone.
On the way back, he met an old person.
The old person asked him for directions. "Little brother, how to get to the late-night bar?"
Uh?
Li Yao paid attention in an instant.
This old person was dressed in a decent suit. His silver-grey hair was managed meticulously. He held a walking stick in his hand and looked like he had an exuberant manner. He was an exquisite old gentleman.
Li Yao pointed the way honestly. The old person nodded his head and thanked him before leaving.
The process was ordinary.
It was really like a normal old person casually looking for a person to ask for directions.
Li Yao shook his head.
Maybe he had thought too much.
Li Yao walked around outside randomly and treated it as relaxing his body. As for the name of the pub… he really did not know what name was good.
He was useless at coming up with names.
When he wrote novels back then, coming up with names was a matter that gave him big headaches. Subsequently, he might as well use the names of the people around him and just change them.
But he could not do this with the pub's name now.
If he casually used someone else's pub name and changed it, wouldn't it appear to be very degrading!
His brain was in pain!
While Li Yao was walking, he thought. He hoped that his emitted thoughts could save himself…
When he turned into a book shop, he suddenly had an idea.
He walked in and took a book randomly. The book's name was <
Forget it, it is not important.
What was important was using the destiny method to look for the pub's name here!
"I'll randomly flip open a page, and the first phrase that I see… will be the pub's name!" Li Yao thought this way, and thereafter, he flipped the book in his hand open. When he got fixated, the first group of words that attracted his eyes was that page with extra big and bold words: The Lost Lamb.
Damn, what was inside this was actually the achievements of Hong Xiuquan.
He looked at the book again…
The book title was <
So this was about f*cking China dragon and god?
Crazy!
The lost lamb… if the pub was named the lost lamb, it would be a little too distasteful. Lost was not bad. It was also a phrase.
Moreover, it was placed in front!
So…
Naming the pub as [Lost Bar] will do.
Yeah…
Seems like it's not too bad.
Li Yao's mood was happy. He found a nearby breakfast shop and bought an extra two big buns!
Recently, there was not a lot of homework from school. Moreover, his school was also arranging for fieldwork related matters. There was also actually some shadiness inside here. Some teachers would arrange for the students under them to go to some companies or to human resources. When they were arranged to go over, they could have commission… They were undergraduates, and they themselves also needed experience. Hence, their salaries would not be very high.
They would obtain manpower for a lower price.
Many companies were willing to do this.
Of course, this was also not absolute.
Southeast University very rarely had this kind of thing. There were mainly some diploma mills that liked to do this kind of thing. The internship positions arranged by Southeast University were usually from alumni companies. It was still beneficial for the training of one's ability. After the internship ended, the materials submitted by the company were also considered as entry points for the students.
Li Yao did not need any internship now.
Moreover, he and Li Shishi were working together.
Hence, he had already entrusted Li Shishi to let the school consider him as being in her company. This was considered as the company and the school predetermining talent.
Some famous enterprises would indeed do this in famous schools.
With Li Shishi's endorsement, Li Yao would be carefree for a very long period in the future.
This kind of feeling was really good.
Financial freedom, personal freedom, he could do whatever he wanted to do.
On the way back, Li Yao passed by a wood carving shop.
He thought of his own pub's quaint decoration. It also seemed to be missing a couplet. He thought of whether he could buy a pair back. He looked around in the shop. All kinds of wood carvings were placed on the shelves. Some of them were very crafty while some carvings incorporated the textures and shapes of the materials themselves. With a few strokes of casual sculpting, the body and form were created vividly.
The shop owner was also obviously an expert. The price of the wood carvings differed according to the different artistic attainments.
Li Yao went one round and did not discover any couplets. He asked the boss, "Do you have wood-carved couplets here?"
The boss replied, "I did not sell many of those. I'll go to the warehouse and look around."
Li Yao said, "I'll have to trouble you."
After a while, the boss reached towards his head from behind. "Sir, why don't you come in yourself and have a look? There are indeed some remaining stocks."
Li Yao said, "Alright."
He followed and walked into the warehouse behind. Some wooden materials were placed here. There were also some carving tools. Many carved items were placed on the shelves and covered with oilcloth. The boss never knew which corner he had found some wooden-carved couplets. "They are all here!"
Li Yao had a glimpse.
Giving in to others does not mean I'm weak. Uphold my principles and allow him to be powerful.
This was the couplet at Zhen Nan Wing Chun Boxing Hall.
Li Yao had a glimpse again.
The feeling that Cang Zhou was far, and the oldest apprentice was injured.
There were excerpts from sentences in two poems. The first couplet was from Du Fu's poem <
Li Yao glanced at quite a number of couplets. There was nothing that was ideal.
"Uh?" Li Yao pointed at a piece of wood that was covered with oilcloth and asked. "Is that also a couplet?"
"Right. It's just that the couplet is too old and is being eroded by worms. Do you want to see it?" While the boss was talking, he lifted the oilcloth. The couplet read:
Boundless bitterness,
I can overcome it.
