Alan thought for a while: "Oh, well, I am in charge of the column in charge of the magazine to interview mostly men, there are celebrities, successful men, artists, etc., in order to better communicate with these male customers, I will choose the one that can increase the relationship of the opposite sex." "I didn't want to inquire about the meaning of that English word at all, so I said no problem, and told her that I could make a voice call on QQ, which would save you international distance fees.

"No," replied Alain, "I don't care about that." "I thought to myself, it seems that I am redundant, people are petty bourgeoisie in Provence, how can I pick the door like a dick like me? I asked for her email address, and sent a few pictures and texts of Buddhist cards, among which it is still mainly the popular bird blessed by Azannanya. Because among the Azan I know very well, only Azan Nanya blessed the Buddha card, and the rest like Azan Budan, Azan JOKE and Azan Song Lin are mainly casting spells, some black and some white. And I deliberately sent two pictures of Azan Nanya, and chose the image of sitting cross-legged and blessing the Buddha card, which looks more temperamental, and in the current buzzword, it is the kind that is more "immortal".

Sure enough, it worked, and in the evening Alan sent me a text message: "This Master Azan Nanya is very eye-catching, I hope to know more about her and her amulet, please Introdure her to me." "Here it was again, but luckily this time it was a text message instead of a phone call, and I found out the translation software from my phone, and after typing it, I realized that it meant "introduction". Thinking that this was not a problem, I specially posted a lot of information about Azan Nanya, with more than a dozen photos, a few videos and a lot of Buddhist cards. I don't know what impressed Alan, but half an hour later she called me and said, "Where is this Master Azannanya? I really want to meet her!"

I began to worry again, so I had to bite the bullet and ask what Mitt was.

Ah Lan seemed a little deflated and said, "Meet means to meet." ”

"She's in a city called Khon Kaen in Thailand, and you can come at any time. I replied with a smile.

"It's a walk-and-go?" said Alan, "but now that the magazine is very busy and I don't have time, can I invite her to Shanghai? I want to talk to her in person." "I said it's okay, but usually she will only go to the scene if she just asks for cards, it's a long way, and these Azan masters are all cultivators, so they don't want to run around.

Ah Lan said: "How can we say that we are also in business, and now many businesses will deliver to our doors, why can't Thai Buddhist cards?" I smiled and said that people are Dharma cultivators, but not businessmen, and we are businessmen. For example, if you want to invite a Guanyin and Buddha statue from the temple to wear, can you let the monks in the temple deliver it to your door, don't you have to go to the temple to invite it personally, this is also a respect for the Dharma practitioner and the Dharma, Southeast Asian countries believe in Buddhism, they have great respect for Buddhists, and they have to bow on the road. And Thai amulets are also blessed with spells, even if they are not using orthodox Hinayana Buddhism, but they have to practice hard for many years. Chinese have always respected scholars, so they can't let them deliver, and that's what our brand dealers do.

Listening to my explanation, Alan said: "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, it seems that I am disrespectful, sorry." "I'm going to start guessing with her now, and I'm thinking that word is either disrespectful or offensive. Later, Ah Lan said, "Then as a card merchant, I should run this leg for the mage and come to Shanghai to interview her in person."

I had no choice but to smile: "Let's be honest with you, Ah Lan, don't say that it's just an interview now, even if you pay, I can only send the goods to you by courier to Shanghai, and it is impossible to deliver them to the past." I can earn up to 500 yuan for an ordinary Buddhist card, and I am now in Thailand, even if I am in my hometown in Shenyang, the train ticket to Shanghai is more than 500 round-trip, then I will lose money.

"Well, are you in Thailand now?" Alan asked. She didn't speak English at all, but this time I could understand it even if she did, because she had said it once. I said yes, Ah Lan asked me when I would go back to Shenyang, I thought about it, Liu Xinmei's matter, Kaohsiung's own arrangements, not only delayed the matter of Papan Yin Temple, but also lured the snake out of the hole, I don't have anything big to do. And I was about to go back to Shenyang to attend the wedding of my old classmates, so I said that I would go back to Shenyang in a few days, and I could fly from Bangkok to Shanghai and then back to Shenyang.

Ah Lan said: "That's the most perfect, my home is on Xiafei Road near the magazine, you can contact me this number when you arrive in Shanghai." ”

When I hung up, my forehead was sweating, and I thought to myself, what if I didn't know English at all, I couldn't communicate properly. At the same time, I was also curious about whether she would have to mix English with the shopkeeper cashier if she bought a set of pancakes and fruits on the street, or went to a small supermarket to buy sanitary napkins?

I booked a flight from Bangkok to Shanghai online, not to mention a discount, which suited me very much. The second time I came to Shanghai, the first time was two years ago, when I dealt with the haunted business of the real estate with Azan Song Lin. When I came to Xiafei Road, I saw that it was really prosperous, a little similar to Beijing, but it seemed to have a more modern taste, especially the dress of Shanghainese, which was much more fashionable than Beijing. I was in the Buddha shop in Beijing for more than half a year, and I didn't feel much, but then I came to Guangzhou and now to Shanghai, only to find that although Beijing has a developed economy and many rich people, the people who live in Beijing are really worse than Guangzhou and Shanghai for ten years, especially Shanghai. It is no wonder that in the eighties and nineties, barber shops in many parts of China were named "Shanghai Hair Salons", and many ready-to-wear stores were called "Shanghai Fashion Stores", just because Shanghai was the first city in China to open up, and it was also the most fashionable.

Seeing the street sign on Xiafei Road, it reminded me of Chow Yun-fat's version of "Shanghai Tang", in which Xu Wenqiang bought a house on Xiafei Road and asked Ding Li to move in, Ding Li was very excited, and said again and again: "I can also live in Xiafei Road?"

It was almost noon, and I was very hungry because of the rush, but before Ah Lan said that he would invite me to dinner, I thought to myself, I don't know what this kind of petty bourgeois women usually eat, so I will follow the grade. Under an office building, the environment is still good, there are gardens and fountains, and many young men and women are chatting in twos and threes. It's March and the temperature in Shanghai has warmed up, these people are typical white-collar workers from the point of view of dress, men mostly wear business casual and suits, and rarely wear sportswear, while women have professional clothes, some shirts with trousers, and some wear skirts, which look very pleasing to the eye. There was also a foreigner who walked out of the office building, tall and handsome, wearing glasses and a straight suit, talking to the Chinese woman next to him while walking, using English.
