Chapter 1: The Mysterious Beggar

Next Chapter

"Well, well, thank you, you need to contact us."

A young man in his twenties walked out of a stationery store with a smile on his face, turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared. Alas~~ failed again. He has been following this list for three weeks, and in another week it will reach the deadline set by the client, and if he fails to complete the commission, the company will return the deposit twice, and he may be fired.

The young man's name is Shi Lei, an intermediary agent of an intermediary agency company, and he has been in the company for almost three months, but he has not completed a single order independently, and he has done it for others.

What is an intermediary agency, it is what people often call a leather bag company. The intermediary broker is the person who introduces people to buy and sell, and earns commissions from them, and plays the role of a matchmaker.

The three-month probationary period is about to end, and the company manager handed him a single order of selling 10,000 pens three weeks ago, and let him complete it independently.

Shi Lei is an orphan, the university is all based on work-study, plus the school exemption to study, the first job after graduation is this, there is no savings at all, if he is expelled, he may have another month, he can't even pay the rent, do you want to sleep on the street?

But how many people use fountain pens these days? Signing contracts, writing files, and even students doing homework and answering papers all use black signature pens. Because the pen is written smoothly and has a long storage time, there is no water break and leakage like ballpoint pens and fountain pens.

The client's 10,000 fountain pens were also collected from the top account, as if it was 200,000, and their company was required to sell all these pens at a price of not less than 200,000, and the extra money sold was the company's commission.

Originally, many old intermediary brokers in this single company said not to take it, but the manager saw that a pen on the market was more than 30 yuan, and thought that the profit was very rich, so he took it. No intermediary broker was willing to take this order, and in the end, it was forcibly apportioned to the unlucky Shi Lei.

In the past three weeks, he has been running from store to store, and he has also posted news on the Internet that he wants to pack and sell. But when others saw that the price was so high, they were stunned that they didn't sell a single one.

Now there are online stores, and if you want a few hundred, you can place an order directly from the Internet, and you can get it within three days at most. There are few things to ask for, and they are sold in various stationery stores. Like the 10,000 fountain pens in Shi Lei's hand, it can be regarded as a big list, and the pens that the entire Bingcheng can sell in a year are only this number, leaving him only a week, and Shi Lei is already thinking of a way out.

It's a pity that although he graduated from college, he is only a second-rate university, and his major is not very popular, plus he often skips classes for work-study during college, although he did not fail the course, but his grades are only qualified, so he has no experience, his grades are not all excellent, and he is not a person from a famous university, how many companies will he want?

Only three companies gave him a reply, all of which were sales, basic salary + commission model, the same as him in this intermediary agency, but the treatment was lower.

His basic salary here is 1,600, plus 10% commission, while in other companies, the basic salary of newcomers is only 1,020, and the commission is only 8%.

Walking out of a stationery wholesale store, Shi Lei bought a drawer of xiaolongbao and sat on a roadside seat to eat. Suddenly he smelled a foul stench in his nose, and when he turned his head, he saw a able-bodied beggar sitting beside him.

The beggar looked at the bun in his hand and swallowed his saliva, Shi Lei was an orphan, and his grandmother in the welfare home taught him that when he could help others without having a great impact on his life, he must help others.

"You didn't eat lunch either?"

The beggar nodded vigorously, then looked at Shi Lei, and stared at the bun in Shi Lei's hand.

It's not asking for money, it's just asking for food, which doesn't look like a liar. Although he has sound hands and feet, he may have some difficulties and cannot work to make money.

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you a few buns, you eat this first." Shi Lei handed the handy bag containing the bun in his hand to the beggar, and the beggar began to eat it with gusto.

When Shi Lei came back with two drawers of buns, the convenience bag in the beggar's hand was already empty, it was a drawer of buns, Shi Lei had just eaten one.

"Drink saliva, there are still buns here, you eat slowly." Shi Lei handed over a drawer of buns and a bottle of mineral water, looking at the beggar one by one, he thought about it, and gave the last bag of buns in his hand to the beggar.

After the beggar finished eating, he drank all the bottles of water, and then asked Shi Lei, "Is there anything else?" ”

Shi Lei shook his head and turned his pockets out, leaving only the three yuan he had in the car. This is his food money for two days, and it's gone.

Shi Lei took out a map of the ice city from his bag on an empty stomach, and continued to walk towards the next place.

Suddenly feeling that his clothes were being pulled, Shi Lei glanced back, it was the beggar. Looking down again, a black handprint was evident on his white shirt.

"I really don't have any money, these three yuan are the last thing I used to take the car, and I haven't eaten myself." Shi Lei is a little helpless, there are so many people around here, if you haven't eaten enough, find someone else to go, I really can't help you.

"Young man, you gave me the buns that you were going to eat by yourself, but you didn't eat enough yourself, do you regret it?" The beggar asked suddenly.

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "After I give you the second bag of buns, I should go, so that at least I can have a bag of buns to eat." ”

"Hahaha, lad, you're interesting. Today I stopped a hundred people around here, a little girl gave a dollar, I cured her congenital heart disease, you are the second person who was good to me, gave me food, and I should repay you too. ”

Shi Lei frowned, big brother beggar, don't be kidding, I'm like this, is it interesting to joke? You also cured other people's congenital heart disease, if you really have that ability, you still need to beg? It may be a bit exaggerated to make money every day, but if you cure a person, even if your conscience costs 100,000 yuan, you are at least a billionaire now, right?

"Young man, you don't believe me?"

Shi Lei said helplessly: "I believe it, but I don't have any disease, you have the ability to treat other people." See, the street corner in front, turn around and walk straight for 300 meters, is the provincial hospital, where there are more patients, and you can show your talent more. ”

Alas, this beggar turned out to be insane, no wonder he fell to this, but unfortunately he was not able to help him. Shi Lei shook his head, and when he was about to leave again, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him.

He took off his glasses, blinked his eyes vigorously, and rubbed them with his hands, alas~~ His hungry eyes were spent. Eh, no, I don't wear glasses, how can I see so clearly from a distance? Put on the glasses again, and it becomes flowery again. What's going on, 300 degrees of myopia, suddenly better?

Shi Lei thought of something, turned his head and saw that the beggar was looking at him with a smile: "How is it, do you believe it now?" ”

How did he heal himself, Shi Lei didn't feel it at all, could it be that this beggar turned out to be an immortal? Didn't the book say that there are often those immortals who descend to earth and accept people with extraordinary talents as disciples. And every time before accepting a disciple, I have to conduct an investigation and test of the disciple's conduct.

"Which immortal are you? Please take me as an apprentice. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many pedestrians on the road, Shi Lei would have been able to kneel and kowtow at that time.

"Hahaha, young man, we don't have the fate of master and apprentice."

"Why not, as long as you agree, I will be your disciple. Just pass me a few hands, and you can continue to play the world. Shi Lei hurriedly said.

"Okay, then let me ask you, if you are asked to become a monk, would you be willing?" The beggar asked.

Shi Lei immediately said: "It's the kind of six purities and a lot of precepts, I don't want to, if it's just the Buddha in my heart and my behavior is unrestrained, then it's no problem." ”

"There are only three things, quit killing, quit sex, and quit hate, can you do it?"

If you don't kill someone, you can definitely do it, you haven't killed any chicken, and you don't have the courage at all. Quit anger, that is, quit anger, then it should be okay slowly, I am a disciple of the gods, why are you angry with mortals? But why is there such a thing as a quit to sex! It's so cruel, it's just inhumane!

"I can't do it." Shi Lei shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

"Don't be disappointed, I said it, I'll give you something in return, what do you do?"

"Broker." Shi Lei said loudly.

"What?"

"It's an intermediary who facilitates transactions between the two parties and earns a little commission." Shi Lei explained in a low voice.

"Oh, broker, this should be very useful to you, and if you use it well, it will make you soar. Remember, you can use it up to three times a day, and if you exceed it, it will take a lot of mental toll on you. Also, remember to be kind to others and do more good deeds. ”

The beggar rubbed a ball of mud from his body, and then stuffed it into Shi Lei's mouth with lightning speed. Shi Lei covered his mouth and lowered his head and retched a few times, but when the mud ball entered his mouth, it turned into a stream of water and was swallowed by him.

Raise your head again, eh, beggar, isn't it a fairy?

Looking around, there were people coming and going, and no one seemed to notice him. But he didn't wear glasses, but he could see the three oil-stained convenience bags on the chair, and the bottle of mineral water that had been drunk, all of which proved that he really gave a beggar something to eat.

"Auntie, did you see a beggar here just now?" Shi Lei grabbed a passing aunt and asked.

"Beggars? Didn't see it. What do you want to do, young man, I sue you, my daughter's boyfriend's classmate's cousin is a policeman. The aunt looked vigilant and looked Shi Lei up and down.

"Oh, thank you."

Shi Lei asked a few more people, but he didn't say that he saw the beggar, he shook his head, although the fairy didn't say anything good for him, but he cured his myopia, which was much more precious than the three drawers of buns.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, and he has to continue to ask a few stationery stores in front of the school, hoping for good news.
