Chapter 16: The Fat Man
Yu Zehai opened his mouth, he subconsciously moved his head away from the earpiece for a distance, don't you say, although the function of this copycat mobile phone is not very good, but the sound quality of the call is very good.
Quickly turned down the volume, Yu Zehai then spoke: "It turned out to be a fat man, what are you kid beeping about?" Something happened at home, my father rolled in the mountains, and he was in a hurry when he left, and there was no signal on his mobile phone after returning to the village, so you should know next." No, I just came out of the village today, and your call came in!"
"Uh...... Is your uncle alright?"
"It's okay, I'm lucky, I've been examined by the doctor in the town hospital, and the muscles and organs of the whole body are fine, but I flashed my old waist, and I was alive and well in the last month. ”
"That's good! Go back and say hello to my uncle and aunt for me, it's a long way, and I can't skip work to come to the door to condole in person, so I can only remember the next time." By the way, let's turn the page on your broken love, why don't you have a wife, it's good to find another one, why do you have to worry about the people who care about you?
"Fatty, thank you!"
Yu Zehai hung up the phone, and the relevant information of the fat man was called up in his mind for the first time.
The fat man, formerly known as Zhang Zhiwen, is Yu Zehai's old classmate and friend in high school and college, and an iron buddy...... It is said that next to every protagonist, there will always be a fat man, but in fact it is not always the case.
Speaking of which, Zhang Zhiwen, a dead fat man, is much more dazzling than Yu Zehai, a canary that flew out of the depths of the mountains. Whether it is academic performance or family background, Zhang Zhiwen can be said to completely crush Yu Zehai.
Zhang Zhiwen is the grandson of Zhang Dahai, the richest man in Qin Province, and the grandson of Dumiao. When he was in high school, this little fat man was not only a top student who won the first place in the whole grade every year, but he was also a "scumbag" who liked to bully male classmates and flirt with female classmates with a bunch of bad boys when he had nothing to do!
The academic performance is so good that it is ashamed, but the family background is so cruel. Therefore, for such a "rampant" master, school leaders and subject teachers will turn a blind eye and let it go.
At that time, although Yu Zehai's grades in school were not bad, he was not top-notch. And he is from the countryside, he is easy-going, low-key and honest, and he does not have any chivalrous spirit to meddle in his studies. What's more, although the fat man is suspected of "bullying men and women", he is not so evil that he has not caused anger.
Two people who are so different, whether it is academic performance, family background, or hobbies...... So, even though the two are in the same class, they don't have much in common.
The reason why he was able to become a sworn friend was because a classmate in the class accidentally provoked a school bully, and then he was often bullied by a group of people led by the other party.
Once, Yu Zehai, who was passing by after school, was angry when he saw this, since he was a child, Yu Zehai had never done anything to bully people, but to say that this naughty and mischievous fights were commonplace, so he decisively rushed up to help. The matter got bigger, and just when the conflict between the two groups of people gradually heated up, and they fell into a stalemate of riding a tiger, Zhang Zhiwen called friends and led the group of "little brothers" who belonged to him to finally rush over......
Two people who didn't have much intersection originally, but they didn't want to sit back and watch their classmates being bullied by others. Therefore, after a battle, although they were all beaten to the point of bleeding, they have been sympathetic to each other since then. This one comes and goes, and it is also familiar.
After getting acquainted, Yu Zehai realized that Zhang Zhiwen was not as bad as rumored. The reason why the other party has repeatedly shown all kinds of absurd behaviors of "bullying men and women" in school is purely because he is not mature enough to be in the limelight, coupled with boredom.
In the world of scholars, Yu Zehai said he didn't understand. Perhaps, what Zhang Zhiwen did was purely to vent the loneliness of "not being cold in high places"?
Since then, the two have gone from high school to college together, reintegrated into society, and embarked on their favorite jobs...... However, the "revolutionary friendship" between Yu Zehai and Zhang Zhiwen has not faded with the passage of time and the change of time.
This is the kind of true friend, 24 grams of pure gold!
Two minutes later, Zhang Zhiwen called again.
"By the way, deal with the messy things in your company as soon as possible!" The fat man seemed to think of something, and couldn't help muttering a few words: "You missed work for a few days for no reason, and your company's HR lady actually called me." You don't have to think about it to know that when I filled in the emergency contact person when I joined the company, I must have left my phone number, right?"
"Uh......"
Yu Zehai was stunned when he heard this, then smiled lightly and said, "That, it seems that maybe it might be like this." However, don't worry, kid, I'll deal with it in a timely manner!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zehai couldn't help but sigh and dialed the company's HR phone.
Although he was absent from work for several days, when Yu Zehai reluctantly pulled his father out again to act as a backbiter, the company did not make it difficult for him, and happily promised that at the end of the month, it would settle his salary for the days of attendance this month.
Seriously, Yu Zehai didn't expect the company to agree so happily.
However, what Yu Zehai didn't know was that the company he worked for before, when everyone knew that he was determined to leave, those colleagues were quite sympathetic to him. Because, everyone has been working and living together for so long, and they all know that Yu Zehai's family background is not very good, and they also know that in addition to the normal eight-hour work every day, the other party has several other part-time jobs outside, and life is very hard.
"A conscientious enterprise!" Yu Zehai nodded slightly, and said with a relieved face: "I thought that people would go to tea and cool down, so it is not in vain that I have worked hard for the company for more than two years." ”
Shenshui Senior High School, this is the hometown where Yu Zehai has studied and lived for three years. Turn right at the school gate less than 100 meters to a corner of the school, where "Master Zhang's Noodle Restaurant" is located.
The north is dominated by pasta, so the ancestors were very particular about the excavation and utilization of flour. In a small fourth- or fifth-tier city like Shenshui, there are at least twenty or thirty kinds of local representative noodles and snacks known to Yu Zehai. In addition, deep-water noodles have the characteristics of fullness, strength, hunger resistance, and beauty, so wanderers returning to their hometowns will eat a bowl as soon as possible.
"Boss, let's have a big bowl of oily noodles!"
"Okay! Little brother sit casually, just wait a minute!"
With the sound of a rough loud voice in the back kitchen, immediately afterward, I heard a burst of dough constantly tapping on the board to make a "bangbang......" sound.
Yu Zehai held a small bowl and drank the noodle soup, while half-squinting and thinking about how to get rid of the old ginseng in his hand safely.
In a previous life, it was usually best to sell a treasure like this online, followed by an auction house, and finally to sell it to those pharmacies. But nowadays, online sales channels are obviously impossible, because the current domestic Internet technology has not yet matured, and has not yet formed a general environment for online sales.
Go to an auction house? or go to a TCM hospital?
Yu Zehai frowned, it seemed that he was still a little abrupt and taken for granted before. This social routine is too deep and too little sincerity, whether it is going to an auction house or a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, it gives Yu Zehai a faint sense of crisis.
Relatively speaking, the auction house can be better, the higher bidder wins, he just has to pay a part of the commission, which unless someone operates in the dark, otherwise there is no need to worry about the price. But if you go to those traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, it is obviously impossible to sell them at a high price, and a small city like Shenshui can't sell them at a high price, so it seems that you have to go to the provincial capital.
In fact.
It's not that Yu Zehai didn't think about returning to Donghai City, but this time he went back, it was too delayed. Although the provincial capital is not as prosperous and developed as Donghai City, the rapid development in recent years is still obvious to all. Therefore, it is naturally best to be able to solve it nearby.
After making up his mind, Yu Zehai finished his lunch and embarked on the journey with satisfaction!
A few hours later, when the high-speed bus arrived in the provincial capital, Yu Zehai took out his mobile phone and looked at it, the time was already half past five in the afternoon, but the sunshine on the west slope was still strong, continuing to scorch the city cast by reinforced concrete.
Walking out of the passenger station, Yu Zehai went straight to a chain pharmacy in the city center - Baicaotang.
Baicaotang is a well-known "century-old brand" in China, and has chain stores in major and medium-sized cities across the country. It stands to reason that a behemoth like this and an old store that can exist for so many years is mostly reliable, otherwise it would have been eliminated by the gears of the years.
If it comes, it will be safe.
After hesitating for a moment at the gate of Baicaotang, Yu Zehai walked in. Behind the counter, there are two young girls in white coats discussing something, and there are bursts of laughter from time to time, and in addition, in the big pharmacy, there are several shopping guides who are patiently serving customers.
Yu Zehai stopped in front of the counter, the two girls behind the counter immediately stopped discussing, two pairs of beautiful eyes swept towards Yu Zehai, the on his face flashed, one of them smiled at Yu Zehai and said, "This little brother, may I ask if there is anything that can help you?"
"Beautiful young lady, may I ask if your sitting physician, or your manager is not there?" Yu Zehai smiled, looking extremely modest, the young man was already very handsome, and now under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, coupled with the successful cultivation to the first level of qi refining, the unique temperament that naturally exudes from the whole body, coupled with the delicate and handsome face, the little faces of the two girls are slightly red.
"The doctor has gone to the outpatient clinic, but our manager happens to be there, may I ask the little brother what is the matter with you?" the girl came back to her senses a little and asked with some curiosity.
"Ahem...... That, I want to give you Baicaotang a sensational advertisement around the world, of course, this requires a very high advertising fee, but this requires whether your big boss behind the scenes has that vision. Yu Zehai deliberately coughed lightly twice, talking serious nonsense.
The girl was slightly stunned, then quickly shook her head and said: "I'm really sorry, our Baicaotang is originally a living signboard, and there is no need to advertise at all, you better go find someone else!" Although the other party is dressed very plainly, he is really handsome!
