名利跑馬燈＜最後的禮物＞終利

Time goes back to Tom a few months later, and he is about to end the conversation at this time. 

「 Wait a minute, Alex, didn't he say anything?」

Luke tried to find a clue in the man's face, even a little.

「No.

By the way, he told you to take good care of this storefront.」

Of course, Tom didn't show any flaws. Instead, he said what Alex explained and left. 

「I have done everything.

Should I rest.」

Tom immediately called his brother on the touchtone phone, and asked for today's vacation by the way.

「Got it, you can rest.」

Andy didn't mean to be embarrassed, anyway, things have come to an end. 

「Sir, we are not in business yet.」

Luke heard the bell pushing the door, but didn't look up, he thought it was a guest.

「Chef, it's me.

Really long time no see.」

   

 Xiaowen's familiar voice has not changed, this time he is still wearing a tie and a fitted suit. 

「Xiaowen, why are you here?」

Luke raised his head in surprise and looked at the person in front of him, it was really a familiar figure.

「I'm here to apply for a store manager.」

Xiaowen handed over his resume, and he was obviously more lively than the first time. 

「 Could this be the last gift, it must be, I didn't expect Alex to send such a big surprise after leaving without saying goodbye, which could not help but surprise Luke.

「Welcome back.」

Although Luke has a lot to ask, he will talk about it later.

   

「Why is the boss missing?

It was he who asked me to come back.」

Xiaowen didn't want to come back, but Alex was willing to put down his boss's figure to beg himself, which made him very happy.

「I don't know either, I'm the boss now anyway.

Maybe he will come back one day.

Until then we are here waiting for him.」

Luke obviously didn't know either, and it was the last time the two met a few months ago.

「Boss, then I am accepted.

Very good.

I'll clean the table first.」

Xiaowen's smile is brighter than ever before, I don't know if it's because of Alex's absence.

名利跑馬燈用在Alex身上還真是一點也不為過，他的人生就如跑馬燈一樣短暫，一生都在追求名利，到頭來卻什麼也帶不走，這正是這個故事所要傳達的意思。
