33. Elbow outward turn sixth shift
Although many people didn't believe or understand, their focus still automatically shifted to Zhou Rui.
This scene made Qi Haoxuan grit his teeth secretly.
Before Zhou Rui came, he was the focus of the audience. The gift he gave won the joy of the old man, who doesn't envy it?
But it's only been a long time before the focus has changed. And the walnuts that the old man never left his hand before have been thrown on the coffee table for a long time, and they don't look the same.
Obviously, Zhou Rui's status has far surpassed this pair of walnuts.
After taking a closer look at Zhou Rui's dress, and after glancing at the old handbag he was holding, Qi Haoxuan roughly judged in his heart that Zhou Rui should not be a powerful person.
Such an ordinary dress, as well as that bag, all prove that his identity is ordinary. As for saving the old man, it should be just a coincidence, as he himself said.
The beggar is lucky enough to pick up the money, luck, it's hard to say.
However, out of prudence, he still asked Zhang Hongming: "Second uncle, what is this guy doing?"
"No, I own a bookstore, but I'm very capable. Xiao Xuan, although you are about the same age as him, you are far behind in other aspects. You must learn more from others, you can learn a little bit, and your mother doesn't have to worry about it every day. Zhang Hongming replied, his tone full of importance for Zhou Rui.
Qi Haoxuan's eyes were even heavier, he knew that Zhou Rui was just a bookstore owner, so he was very disdainful. However, Zhang Hongming also had a tone of lesson, asking him to learn more from Zhou Rui.
What to learn, how to sell books?
It's really funny, isn't the second uncle confused, a bookstore owner who saved his grandfather by walking shit luck, so he really treats him as a fairy?
No matter how big the bookstore is, dressed like this, it is probably not a chain enterprise.
They are all young people, why can he sit next to his grandfather and stand and talk?
Qi Haoxuan, who was in an extremely unhappy mood, simply walked over directly, glanced at Zhou Rui, and then said, "Listen to my second uncle, you open a bookstore?
Second uncle, Zhou Rui looked back at Zhang Hongming and understood, it turned out to be Mr. Zhang's nephew.
He hurriedly tried to stand up, but was forced to press down by the charter.
"You are my savior, what are you talking to him and standing up. "The charter and said.
Qi Haoxuan's eyes were even heavier, but he didn't attack on the spot.
Zhou Rui felt quite embarrassed, so he replied: "There is no brand, just a small bookstore at my house, on the side of Honghe Road." ”
Qi Haoxuan thought for a while, Honghe Road? Isn't that the land bought by Hongye Group and ready to be demolished? I haven't heard of any big bookstores.
He then asked: "My second uncle said that he wants me to learn more from you, I don't know how much profit your bookstore makes a year?
When Qi Haoxuan asked this, there was obviously a taste of pride on his face.
Although he has a big temper, he relied on the relationship of the Zhang family to open a trading company, and his annual profit is one or two million. Although it can't be compared with Zhang Hongming, it is quite good among young people.
As for Zhou Rui, no matter how Qi Haoxuan looks at it, he doesn't think that the so-called bookstore can make much profit. Asking this question is to make it clear that you want to embarrass Zhou Rui!
This question is indeed very embarrassing for Zhou Rui.
Million?
It's pretty much the same, just remove one word.
"Not so many ......" Zhou Rui was embarrassed to say, after all, this is the Zhang family, who is standing here is not worth more than 10 million? Compared with others, which onion is his small bookstore?
"It's not much, it's a lot, you have to have a number. Qi Haoxuan asked reluctantly.
Even the charter and the constitution saw the signs, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Haoxuan, have you asked such a question?" How much profit is in the store, that is the privacy of people's stores!"
"There's really no privacy. Zhou Rui came to congratulate the old man on his discharge from the hospital, and he didn't want him to be angry, otherwise it would be meaningless to come, so he said: "My bookstore has a profit of 10,000 yuan all year round, which is really small." It's just the foundation left by my parents, so I have been running it. ”
"Ten thousand profits, return the foundation, hahahahaha......" Qi Haoxuan suddenly laughed.
Not only him, but in fact, many people around couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhou Rui say that the profit was only so little.
10,000 yuan, many of them make more than this money in a day, how can they be embarrassed to say it?
Originally, I heard Zhang Hongming say that Zhou Rui was the old man's life-saving benefactor, and many people were still thinking about whether to wait for the meeting to make friends. But now, they have all dismissed their thoughts.
What qualifications does a bookstore owner with an annual profit of no more than 20,000 yuan have to be worthy of their friendship? Such a little person is only slightly better than a beggar in their eyes.
Therefore, many people directly lost their interest in knowing Zhou Rui, and even their eyes were full of obvious disdain and contempt.
Zhou Rui rarely argues with others, and when he encounters such a scene, he doesn't feel that others are at fault, but only feels ashamed.
It's true that I'm too useless, and I have been in business for so many years, but I can only earn this, and I don't blame others for laughing at it.
On the contrary, Zhang Hongming was angry, and he came over directly and was about to kick Qi Haoxuan: "You stinky boy, why are there so many problems, stay aside for me!"
Qi Haoxuan hurriedly dodged, but he didn't forget to dig another pit for Zhou Rui to jump into, so that he could fall to pieces: "I didn't ask anything, didn't you ask me to learn from him? Today is a good day for grandpa to be discharged from the hospital!"
"Don't give me nonsense, bring gifts or not, you want to be nosy, get out!" Zhang Hongming was really angry, if a few relatives hadn't come up to stop him, they would have whipped him if they grabbed Qi Haoxuan directly.
Zhou Rui has money or not, Zhang Hongming knows better than anyone else, Qi Haoxuan's questions and words are clearly to laugh at others. Not to mention that Zhou Rui was a guest invited by himself, just to save the lives of him and the old man, Zhang Hongming must not let anyone bully him like this.
Not even if it's your own nephew!
However, others could not understand his elbow turn.
One is an inconspicuous bookstore owner, and the other is a nephew, how can you be an outsider?
It's good that he saved the old man, wouldn't it be over if he gave some money to send him away, why hurt the harmony of his family.
Several relatives couldn't help but speak: "Hongming, Xiao Xuan, this kid hasn't done anything wrong, don't be so angry." ”
"Yes, it's not right for you to do this, Xiao Xuan is your nephew!"
For such a happy event as the old man being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Hongming didn't plan to invite too many people to come, for fear of disturbing his father. So those who came today are basically their own relatives.
I wanted to celebrate the family and the family, who would have thought that there would be such a thing, but the angry Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he said to Zhou Rui: "Don't be surprised by the little friends, they usually like to make trouble like this." In fact, what I want to see most is you, the life-saving benefactor, as for gifts or whatever, they are all secondary, don't care. ”
Zhou Rui blushed, but he still mustered up the courage, picked up the old handbag he was holding in his arms, and said, "Actually, I brought a gift......
Seeing the handbag with the logo of Hungry Bar, everyone burst into laughter.
Qi Haoxuan laughed even more and his stomach hurt: "What is this gift of yours, is it a takeaway?"
Zhou Rui sneered and said, "It's not a takeaway, it's some walnuts." I heard Mr. Zhang say that the old man likes to play walnuts, and I happened to have some, so I brought them. ”
Qi Haoxuan laughed: "What do you think Wen plays with walnuts......?
"If you talk nonsense, I'll let people sew your mouth up, believe it or not!" Zhang Hongming said angrily.
He looked at the handbag, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He was in his seventies, and it was the first time someone had used such a bag to give him a gift. Although the courtesy is light and affectionate, this gift is too "light", right......
As for the so-called cultural walnuts in the handbag, he naturally didn't think it would be a good thing, and he estimated that at most it was just a freshly opened green skin.
However, since Zhou Rui had already taken out the gift, he would not lose face, so he reached out and took it, and said, "Xiaoyou's heart, I received it, it's good." ”
When he spoke, he was still a little surprised. Because the bag was a bit heavy, it felt heavy with both hands, as if it contained pieces of iron.
But he didn't plan to open it to his face, in case it was really a bunch of freshly opened green-skinned walnuts, wouldn't it make this young man even more laughed at?
Therefore, the charter and the bag were ready for people to put away.
Seeing that he didn't mean to see it, Zhou Rui subconsciously asked, "Don't you want to take a look?"
He was stunned, and then smiled bitterly in his heart, how could this young man not understand the kindness of others?
Can't he see that he is trying to save some face for him?
Originally, at the beginning, he still felt that Zhou Rui was well-behaved and looked quite good. But now, he found that Zhou Rui didn't know what advance and retreat was.
is obviously destined to be embarrassed, and he still leans up with his neck.
Maybe it's because of too little knowledge, after all, how much experience can a bookstore owner with such a small amount of experience have?
Chartered and sighed secretly, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart.
Zhang Hongming was also anxious to watch from the side, so he simply took the bag over and said, "Today is mainly to celebrate my father's discharge from the hospital, gifts or something, look back." ”
As a result, Zhou Rui said coldly: "I think...... The old man will like it. ”
Zhang Hongming was almost stunned by him on the spot, his father and son worked hard to give you the steps, why do you still go up!
Why didn't you think this Brother Zhou was so brainless before?
The others naturally laughed louder, muttering that this so-called life-saving benefactor, is it a fool?
Qi Haoxuan's mouth was crooked when he smiled, this little owner of the bookstore was really interested, and if he dug a pit by himself, he would jump into it alive or dead.
Ignoring Zhang Hongming's warning eyes before, Qi Haoxuan said with an obvious mocking tone: "Do you know what walnuts are good and rotten......?
Zhou Rui is not really stupid, and now, he naturally understands that Qi Haoxuan is deliberately mocking him.
However, after glancing at the pair of walnuts on the coffee table, and then thinking about what he brought, he hesitated, and said, "But I don't think you're a good pair......
