Chapter Twenty-Six: What to Wear
It's the weekend again, but this weekend is not easy, all Saturday, Lin Dong is worried about going to see Gao Qian's father Gao Wuye tomorrow. In terms of family background, Gao Wuye is half the sky on Sucheng Road, with a noble status, and he Lin Dong is just a hairy boy from other places, with no money and no power.
His relationship with Gao Qian is not the right one, even if he summons Gao Wuye's strong opposition, it is also a reasonable thing. However, Lin Dong thought about it carefully, if Fifth Master Gao really strongly objected, then he would not ask to meet him.
Lin Dong thought about it, there was only one explanation for Gao Wuye's actions, that is, he wanted to understand Lin Dong's qualities, in addition to his family background.
Although he had never met, Lin Dong had already begun to figure out the thoughts of this Sioux City boss. Only by knowing the true thoughts of Gao Wuye can he come up with a way to deal with it.
After remitting 20,000 yuan to his family, Lin Dong still had 10,000 yuan left in his hand. He kept 2,000 yuan for pocket money and saved the remaining 8,000 yuan into his salary card. On Saturday morning, I went out with two thousand dollars, intending to buy myself a decent outfit.
After shopping for a morning, Lin Dong bought a white shirt and black trousers in a brand discount store, and went to a shoe store to buy a pair of leather shoes.
However, in order to increase the chance of leaving a good impression on Gao Wuye, Lin Dong felt that this money still had to be spent when it should be spent.
After returning home, Lin Dong put on the newly bought clothes and shoes, and looked in the mirror.
Gu Ying felt sorry for himself, Lin Dong hurriedly took off his new clothes, and heard that the newly bought clothes had to be washed once before they could be worn, so he washed the new clothes and hung them in the yard to dry them, thinking that it would not take half a day to dry.
After dealing with these trivial matters, it was almost evening, Lin Dong had nothing to do, talked to Gao Qian on the phone for a while, wrote down the address of her home, and then went to the square of Dafeng New Village to sneak around and hastily solve the dinner problem. The square is crowded with people, shuttling all kinds of people, because in the summer vacation, many farmers who work outside take their children who stay in their hometowns, so there are many more children in the square, laughter, but add a bit of fun to this place.
It seemed that he was wandering aimlessly, but Lin Dong's eyes were not idle for a moment, he searched around the crowd, hoping to meet the old man who sold him the jade piece again, in order to answer many doubts in his heart, if nothing else, just say that the mark in the palm of his hand that resembled a full moon scimitar was enough to make Lin worry about it, so many days have passed, and this extra mark out of thin air has no sign of disappearing.
To his disappointment, no matter how hard he tried, the old man seemed to have disappeared into thin air, never to be seen in the square again.
"That's it, there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows. In the vast sea of people, where do I go to find him? Let it be......"
After another fruitless search, Lin Dong secretly explained himself, packed up his mood and planned to go back.
On the way back to the rental house, he thought about it carefully, but he was afraid to see the old man who sold his jade tablets. Not to mention the magical prophetic ability of this jade tablet, which allows him to dominate the stock market, after getting this jade tablet, Lin Dong gradually found that his physical condition is getting better and better, and he is very strong in his own right, and now he feels that there is inexhaustible strength in his body all the time, and he is so energetic that he will not feel sleepy if he only sleeps for two or three hours a day.
If at this time, the old man suddenly appeared and asked Lin Dong to return the jade piece, then what should he do? Although this jade piece was bought from him by Lin Dong for money, he knew that the value of this jade piece was only a hundred yuan that could be bought, so he couldn't help but feel guilty after picking up a big bargain.
If the imagined thing really happened, Lin Dong would not return the jade piece to the old man after weighing it.
Because, he had to admit that subtly, his dependence on jade tablets was getting higher and higher!
"If I didn't have that, would my self-confidence be gone......
Lin Dong shook his head, no longer thinking and meditating, worrying about these things that didn't happen, he couldn't do it.
But he didn't know it, but once he chose his master, he would follow him like a loyal servant, and never abandon him. Therefore, even if someone else took the jade piece from him, what he got was nothing more than a useless dead thing.
Back at the rented house, Lin Dong picked up the book "World Currency", the whole book has a total of more than 1,300 pages, it is definitely a tome, it is a monograph with academic surnames, the content is obscure, there are many professional surnames of terms and quotations, which has caused great difficulty in understanding.
Lin Dong spends two or three hours every night studying this tome, and if he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will write it down in the notebook, and when he arrives at the company the next day, he will search for explanations on the computer and make a record.
In just one week, Lin Dong has accumulated more than a dozen pages of explanations of terms in his notebook.
"Skirt length theory?"
Lin Dong saw a professional term again, felt a little familiar, as if he had heard this word at the company's morning meeting, opened the door of memory, searched in his mind, and recalled the explanation of the "long skirt theory".
It should be the "skirt length theory" put forward by an economist in the United States, who said that the length of a woman's skirt can reflect the rise and fall of the economy, the shorter the skirt, the better the economy, and the longer the skirt, the more difficult the economy.
When he first heard this theory, Lin Dong was very puzzled, but later after his colleagues explained, he understood.
When the economy grows, women will wear short skirts because they want to show off the long stockings inside; When the economy was sluggish, women could not afford stockings, so they had to make their skirts longer to hide the embarrassment of not wearing stockings.
This "skirt length theory" has been corroborated by several rounds of economic booms and declines, and it is very reliable.
In this regard, Lin Dong had to admire the Yankees' ability to observe, and it was really amazing to be able to find out the trend of the general economic trend from the phenomena that can be seen everywhere in ordinary life!
After reading the book for more than three hours, he only turned two or three pages, and in order to be able to understand the content of the book as thoroughly as possible, Lin Dong memorized and understood it almost line by line.
As a layman who knows little about financial knowledge, Lin Dong was really tormented by this book.
After dropping the book, when I touched my head, my head was hot, and I fell asleep on the bed.
In the middle of the night, it rained heavily, lightning and thunder, and wind and rain were mixed with wind and rain.
Lin Dong lay on the bed and fell asleep, completely forgetting that the new clothes hanging in the yard had not yet been taken back into the house.
Zhou said early in the morning, after Lin Dong got up, he saw a thin layer of stagnant water that had flooded into the house, and this time he thought of the new clothes hanging in the yard, but he didn't have time to wear the clothes, so he ran out with only pants.
"Whew, it's okay, it should be Aunt Li who helped me take my clothes home."
Lin Dong saw that the clothesline was empty, and there was no clothes, so he guessed that it should be Aunt Li, who lived in the same yard, who helped him put the clothes back. This has happened before, he is not at home, and it is about to rain, Aunt Li will first receive Lin Dong's clothes in her house.
"Aunt Li, are my clothes in your house?"
Lin Dong stood under the eaves and shouted to the room rented by Aunt Li at the opposite door, but he didn't hear anyone respond after a long time.
"Aunt Li......"
Lin Dong shouted again, but Aunt Li didn't come out, but she called out Aunt Qin in the room in the north.
"Early in the morning, what are you yelling, don't shout! Your Aunt Li worked the night shift last year and hasn't come back yet. ”
Lin Dong's heart sank, and he had an ominous premonition, "Aunt Qin, did you see my clothes hanging outside?" ”
"This bastard boy, it rained so hard last night, thunder and lightning, why didn't you get up to collect your clothes? Go and look for it, I guess it was blown away by the strong wind. ”
Lin Dong was afraid of this, so he hurriedly went back to the house and got dressed, searched around the yard, but to no avail, looked up at the direction of a few small saplings in the yard, and ran out of the yard after determining the direction of the wind last night.
After searching for a long time, Lin Dong finally found the new clothes and pants he just bought yesterday in a drowning pit on the east side of the yard, fortunately, the two clothes were wind-blown together, otherwise, he would have to find another one to find.
Lin Dong scooped up his clothes from the muddy water, and the snow-white shirt was no longer visible in the original color, and it was covered with muddy water.
"It's over, what are you going to wear to see Fifth Master Gao today?"
Carrying the dirty clothes back to the yard, Lin Dong first turned on the faucet, washed off the mud on his clothes and pants, and then took a basin of water, soaked his clothes and pants in it, and added double the amount of laundry detergent.
After soaking for two hours, Lin Dong washed and fished the clothes again and dried them again.
When I looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock, and I didn't think I had time to wait for the clothes to dry.
Lin Dong gritted his teeth, "Forget it, just dress casually, it's just to meet a bunch of big bosses, why are you wearing so much!" ”
Thinking of this, I suddenly became bold.
I took out black sports pants and a blue T-shirt from the box, quickly changed into them, put on a pair of sneakers that had been worn for more than a year, brought the boxwood carved Guan Gong statue bought for Gao Wuye, locked the door, and was about to go out.
Seeing the clothes hanging outside, he shouted in the direction of Aunt Qin's house: "Aunt Qin, I'll go out, if it rains again, you remember to help me collect the clothes, I thank you first." ”
Aunt Qin was stir-frying in the house, walked to the door with a spatula in her hand, and waved her hand, "Bastard boy, hurry up if you have something, the clothes are handed over to me, don't worry." Come back early, I'll be simmering in the pot. ”
"Leave me some ......"
Lin Dong smiled and walked out of the courtyard with the wooden box.
Although the living conditions in Dafeng New Village are not good, everyone is a bitter person who goes out to beg for a living, and the relationship between them is very close. Not to mention far away, even the few families living in Lin Dong's yard treat Lin Dong as if they were their own children, and they usually cook some meat dishes, and they always think about leaving some for him.
