Walking on the way to the video store, Cao Ping explained the truth of the matter to Shen Yiran in detail.

It turns out that there has been a rumor in the school recently, Li Wanxiang, the owner of Yaoxing Media Co., Ltd., is going back to his alma mater to participate in the graduation celebration this year, according to internal sources, Yaoxing Entertainment has reached a cooperation with Modu TV, preparing to launch a national grassroots music talent show competition at the end of the year, Li Wanxiang returned to his alma mater, I heard that there is a plan to bring alumni to participate.

"So this year's graduation party has become a chance to show your face!"

Lifting the box in his hand, Shen Yiran said with a smile: "Brother Cao, you said that such a big opportunity suddenly fell from the sky, is the boss happy and crazy now?" ”

"It's not fast, it's crazy."

Snorted coldly, Cao Ping took over the conversation and chattered: "When there was no news that Li Wanxiang was coming before, no one wanted to participate in the thankless thing like the graduation party, after you and Xu Lingyi listened to it, in order to help him start preparing the show without saying a word, now it's good, he even deleted the program of the two of you, Zhang Yaobang of the dog day, did you say that he did this too unauthentically?" ”

Cao Ping's Zhang Yaobang is the oldest one in their dormitory, and he is also the head of the school's literature and art department, because the graduation party is scheduled for mid-June, and more than half of the fresh graduates have moved out of the school during this time period, so this party has always been relatively chicken, and few people are willing to give up the time to go home to participate in the performance.

More than a month ago, Zhang Yaobang once said in the dormitory that the evening program was insufficient, as a roommate, Shen Yiran didn't say a word, decided to sign up on the spot, and carefully rehearsed a few songs for this, but now it seems that it should not be needed.

"Brother Cao, don't worry, I think the boss must have his own troubles."

Seeing that Cao Ping, who was walking next to him with a suitcase, was getting more and more excited, and when he might scold at any time, Shen Yiran hurriedly started a round: "Everyone has been together for four years, and you know the boss's personality, this time Li Wanxiang is going back to school to attend the party, there must be a lot of things involved, and I think the boss should not be able to be the master, and we will go to him after the record is sold later, and ask the reason for the matter." ”

After speaking, Shen Yiran stopped, carefully lifted the carton with both hands, turned his back, did not give Cao Ping a chance to continue talking, and walked in front of the pace.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after more than ten minutes, the two walked into a video store opposite the south gate of the school with the cardboard box.

"No. 52 Xiao Nan Street."

The name of the store is unique, the neon sign is composed of blue and white, and the shape is unusual.

Pushing open the half-hidden glass door, rows of neat shelves stretched from the door to the end, and the two people in the room paced inside, but there were no customers.

"Old man Zhao, someone is here to do business."

As soon as he stepped into the store, Shen Yiran greeted him loudly, as a regular customer here, after bypassing the shelves where the tapes were placed, he guided Cao Ping to a room full of wine bottles.

"Drinking again?"

The two of them gently put the box in their hands on the ground, smelling the perennial wine in the house, Shen Yiran frowned, and said to the corner of the wall: "Old man Zhao, you are so old, drink less in the future." ”

"Hiccup..."

After a full hiccups, a rickety figure in the corner stood up tremblingly.

didn't seem to appreciate Shen Yiran's concern, raised the flat iron kettle he was carrying in his hand, took a sip and said: "Tsk, Shen boy, every time you come here, it's this sentence, old man, my ears are going to be cocooned by you, alas, no wonder you have been chasing the little girl of the Xu family for so many years, even me, I don't want to be with such a boring young man as you!" ”

After saying this, the figure staggered out.

It was a lean old man, dressed in a faded coarse cloth gown, with silver-gray hair scattered over his shoulders, his eye sockets slightly sunken, brown spots on his cheeks that spread from the sides of his face to his neck, not many wrinkles, but a deep scar carved on the bridge of his nose.

"Old man Zhao, why can't even wine stop your poisonous mouth? Believe it or not, sooner or later, one day I will dig out your bottle of osmanthus brew that has been buried for twenty-five years, and when the time comes, I will drink a cup and pour a cup, and I will feel sorry for you. ”

Regarding the threat of pouring wine, the old man smiled nonchalantly, and said: "Shen boy, that is the wedding wine I prepared for you and the Xu family, and I blame me for drinking fake wine at the beginning, how can I think that the two of you can do it, alas, you can pour it, anyway, I don't expect to drink it!" ”

In terms of lip service, after so many years, Shen Yiran has never taken any advantage of the old man in front of him, and he knows that he will definitely be ridiculed and run away, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Well, stop here, you won, I can't talk about you, but I'm not here to argue with you today." ”

As he spoke, Shen Yiran pointed to the box placed on the ground and said, "I want to sell these records, can you accept them?" ”

"Sell?"

Hearing this, the old man rubbed his nose, glanced at the two people standing outside the door suspiciously, and asked slowly, "How much are you going to sell?" ”

"Three thousand."

Shen Yi reluctantly said the lowest price he could accept.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Without the slightest hesitation, the old man replied very simply.

took out an old-fashioned flip phone from his pants pocket, dialed the number and put it to his ear, and said lightly: "Xiaohu, now help me transfer 3,000 yuan to Shen Xiaozi's account, yes, it's my little friend." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for any reply from the other side.

"Old man Zhao, I'm in trouble."

After thanking him, Shen Yiran pulled Cao Ping, who had not said a word since he came in, and turned around to leave.

"Wait, you've got it talked?"

Stunned, his mouth opened wide, his eyes stared directly at Shen Yiran, who was facing him, Cao Ping suddenly felt that his brain circuit was a little unable to keep up, and he sold things in less than five minutes, has it become so efficient to talk about business now?

"That's right, let's talk, let's go, go to the boss and ask about the party."

Smiled and patted Cao Ping's shoulder, Shen Yiran knew that his brother must have a stomach problem at this time, but there were some words that he was unwilling to say in front of Old Man Zhao.

"Oh, got it."

After many years of getting along, Cao Ping knows his roommate's personality very well, although he is still full of doubts, he honestly follows Shen Yiran and walks towards the door.

As soon as one foot stepped out of the video store, as expected, a sound like a machine gun came from his ear: "Old Shen, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Do you know that old man? Why did he decide to buy it without even looking at the contents of your box? He said that he would give you money, would he really know how to fight? What is the relationship between the two of you......"

After Cao Ping finished saying all the questions in his heart in one breath, Shen Yiran cleared his throat and said without anger: "Xu Lingyi and I met in this video store, and she called Uncle Zhao. ”

"And then?"

Cao Ping still couldn't react.

"Then we'll go to the boss now, think about it, will Xu Lingyi's uncle send me that money?"

After speaking, Shen Yiran smiled and ran towards the school opposite.

"Oh, yes, but why do I always feel that something is wrong......"

Cao Ping touched his head, pondered for a while, raised his head and found that Shen Yiran had already run to the other side of the street to wait for him, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he hurriedly chased after him.
