Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter
Qin Ran looked up and saw that it was the old man from the house next door.
"Happy New Year, I wish you good health and a long life!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Ran took out a pack of Chinese from his pocket, took out one and handed it to him. Back in Yulan, although Qin Ran didn't smoke, he still brought a pack with him so that he could greet acquaintances when he met them.
"It seems that you are doing well in Jiangzhou, there are so many cars at the door."
Abel took the cigarette and looked at the sign on it, "Yo, Great China, being the boss is different." I grew up watching you grow up, and I knew that you would not be an ordinary person in the future. ”
"That's really out of bounds."
Qin Ran said in his heart that he knew best what the situation was now, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Thank you for your words!"
He generously gave the bag of Chinese to the old man, and Qin Ran continued: "Uncle, I am often in Jiangzhou, and no one at home looks at it. Please help take care of my house in the future, and you can call my mobile phone if you have something. As for me, I'll calculate the labor cost for you at 200 yuan per month, do you think it's okay? ”
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people often say that they have good luck for a walk!
Now just out of the house, I bumped into a good errand that fell from the sky, almost nothing to do, as long as a few occasional glances, I can have an income of 2,400 yuan a year. Neighbor Abel was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "No, no, it is appropriate to help neighbors with their hands." ”
"You should help, but you have the right to be paid for your labor in accordance with the law. Here, here's half a year's pay in advance, and my phone number! Qin Ran took out six hundred yuan from his body, connected his business card, and stuffed it to Abo.
"Then thank you boss for taking care of me!"
There are only two lines written on the business card, Qin Ran's name is on the top, and the phone number is below, and there are no other positions or anything.
The old man carefully put away the business card and waved goodbye to Qin Ran.
When he went back to the kitchen and took a look, he found that the food hadn't been served yet, Qin Ran asked Chen Hao, knowing that there was about an hour and a half before he could eat. Just let him give the car keys, Qin Ran just went out and saw Santana parked at the door, his hands were a little itchy. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home for a while, and I plan to drive for a ride.
On the first day of the new year, there were obviously more people on the street than usual, but fortunately, Qin Ran drove more calmly, although he was a novice, he was also calm.
After going around the county seat, Qin Ran remembered that the traffic police would go to work in a few days and ask Chen Hao to help him get this driver's license. At this time, the driver's license test is not strict, especially in a small place like Magnolia, people often buy it directly with money.
It should be noted here that this qiē is based on the premise that Qin Ran's driving skills are mastered. If you buy a driver's license, you can't drive and still drive on the road, which is harmful to others and yourself.
Thinking that he had finished all the firecrackers at home in the morning, Qin Ran regretted a little, and when he left home on the ninth day of the new year, he still needed to pay homage again, so he still needed to buy some firecrackers to use when the time came.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Qin Ran walked into the bustling county center market alone, ready to buy a few plates of firecrackers to go home.
"Qin Ran!"
A female voice sounded in his ears, Qin Ran turned around and saw that it was two girls who stopped him, one tall and one short. It was the short girl who called out to herself, with some freckles on her face.
"I thought I was calling the wrong person! What, don't know us anymore? At the beginning, you asked me to send a love letter to He Lulu, the beautiful woman next to me! ”
As soon as the words fell, she was stopped by the tall girl, who didn't want her to say any more.
The tall girl has single eyelids, white skin, looks very delicate, and has a faint arrogance on her body.
Unexpectedly, the original Qin Ran was actually quite violent, and he dared to ask someone to hand over love letters in junior high school. Looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, it is estimated that ten out of ten have eaten the closed door. "Lulu is the third place in the county's high school entrance examination, and now she is studying in the city's key high school! I heard that you didn't go to high school and went to Jiangzhou? The short girl asked a barrage of questions.
"Oh, it's you? Something happened to me half a year ago, so my memory is not very good, and now I'm in Jiangzhou. Alas, I'm really sorry for what happened at the beginning, I was impulsive when I was young, I hope you don't care. ”
Qin Ran looked at the tall girl's eyes and compensated her in a very sincere tone.
"I forgot about it!"
He Lulu said coldly. But she looked at Qin Ran and found that he was very calm and calm, and there was a different kind of charm in his eyes. There is almost a world of difference from the previous frivolous boy who only looked at himself stupidly and did not measure himself. She couldn't help but tighten in her heart, if he handed him a love letter again, would she agree?
"You can order any snacks in the market, when I thank you for your errands back then."
He Lulu's mood was interrupted by Qin Ran's words, but what he asked was Wang Ying, who had been acting as a green leaf by his side, who was the freckled girl.
"Okay! Lulu, what do you think? ”
Wang Ying was very happy that Qin Ran could be so upright.
"If you don't go, if you want to go, go alone."
After speaking, He Lulu left Qin Ran and the others and strode away alone.
"Hey, you wait for me!" Wang Ying shouted anxiously, and then said to Qin Ran: "Remember to owe it first, and we will count it together next time we have a chance!" ”
After that, he hurriedly ran to find He Lulu.
Walking on the road, He Lulu didn't know why this nameless fire suddenly appeared in her heart, but she was unhappy to see Qin Ran and Wang Ying talking and laughing together. Do you really care about him in your heart? Or is it anger that what was once one's own is no longer dominated?
In your life, there will always be someone who passes by you, and you think that he/she has long disappeared into the vast sea of people, leaving no footprints in your life. But until you wake up in a dream at some point, you suddenly find that his/her figure has never left. It's just that at this moment, tears wet the pillow towel, but he can no longer grasp his/her heart.
Looking at the figures of the two girls in the distance, Qin Ran's mouth went up, because he just remembered that if Qin Ran succeeded in delivering a love letter before, with such a girlfriend, how should he deal with her? Thankfully, none of this qiē happened.
Qin Ran walked into the house with the firecrackers he had just bought, and saw that the food was already hot and on the table.
"Just in time to come back, I just wanted to call your phone."
Chen Hao was asking the child to be responsible for distributing the dishes and chopsticks, and greeted the boss when he came back.
A large pot full of soup mixed with chickens, snakes, and turtles, as the name suggests, is called "sea, land and air feast". For a winter dinner, of course, the first choice is to play hot pot, which is convenient and hot. Coupled with some newly bought dishes, it was enough for so many people present to eat together.
"Lao Li, you have good luck today, you just broke through in the encirclement of our three brothers, and the benefits are all for you." Lu Youcai and they also closed the stall, and it seems that Li Desheng is the biggest winner today.
"Why don't you count me for a snack?"
Li Desheng won about 300 yuan, and said happily.
"Next time, stay at home on the night of the first night of the new year, so as not to complain to your wife."
Qin Ran also ate the "sea, land and air banquet" for the first time, and Li Desheng personally served him a bowl of soup.
Sweet-
After drinking it, his body warmed up, which was his first feeling.
"Mr. Qin, I have a question for you?"
Lu Youcai just gnawed down a piece of snake meat and said.
"Huh?"
Qin Ran put down the bowl and prepared to listen.
"Do you think it's better to be in the city in the future, or is it better to have a small place like our magnolia?"
Hearing this question, Qin Ran smiled and said, "Let's first listen to Uncle Chen and Uncle Li's experience in the past six months when they went to Jiangzhou." ”
"Isn't this nonsense? The flower world in the city is much better than the small place of Magnolia. Chen Hao said loudly after sandwiching a piece of turtle meat for his wife.
"Yes, I didn't know that I was a hillbilly when I arrived in Jiangzhou. Isn't there a saying that when you arrive in Kyoto City, you know that you are an official when you are young, when you arrive in Hudong City, you know that you have little money, and when you arrive in Sichuan, you can only do so?" Li Desheng has been in contact with Jiangzhou officials for half a year, and he has learned a lot of jokes at the wine table.
"When I arrived in Chuandu, I didn't know that my wife was bad!" Halfway through this, he suddenly remembered that his wife was by his side, and swallowed it back.
Fortunately, the others present didn't pay attention, thinking that he couldn't remember, especially his wife took the initiative to serve him a bowl of soup.
Qin Ran knew that he glanced at Li Desheng quite meaningfully, which made him smile at Qin Ran wryly.
"The three of us have also summed it up, and I am afraid that many people will be going to the city in the future, so we will always have to find a place to live. If we had gone to the city on our own, we would definitely not have rented a house, but would have bought a house. Therefore, I think that your real estate industry will be hot in the future. If we buy some houses in advance, hold them in our hands for a year and a half and then sell them, there should be a way to make the difference in price! ”
The sense of smell of capital is the most terrifying, and Lu Youcai is worthy of being a person who rolls in the middle of money every day.
Could it be that in the future, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang real estate speculation group, which will sweep the whole country and become the target of public criticism, will start from today, and its wings will be flapped through time and space, and this process will be advanced? In his impression, it was not until 2000 that the real estate speculation group would appear on the stage of history.
"Boss Lu, your sense of smell is really good. However, this premise must be based on the fact that housing prices have been rising. Qin Ran deliberately poured cold water on him.
"We've also considered this, so let's wait for the sale of your Xiziwan project, and see how it will sell? When the time comes, we'll make a move! ”
Therefore, why businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can make money, their vision is accurate and their actions are ruthless.
"At that time, you can consider buying a few sets to live in, after all, Jiangzhou's education and medical conditions are better than Yulan's, and it is convenient for children to go to school and the elderly to see a doctor. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you in the future. If you want, Xiziwan can leave a few sets for you, otherwise there may not be a house when it is sold. ”
Qin Ran didn't tell a lie, if he followed the historical trajectory, he really wouldn't be able to vacate a few more suites for Lu Youcai.
"I understand the kindness, and I'm not in a hurry now, let's take a look first."
Lu Youcai didn't take Qin Ran's words to heart, Jiangzhou has a lot of houses, won't he be worried about not being able to buy them then?
After eating, the three female compatriots were still responsible for finishing up and cleaning Qin Ran's kitchen. Otherwise, facing so many pots and pans, Qin Ran would have a headache. Cooking is not tight, and it is too tiring to wash the dishes and clean up at the end, so many people will entertain guests in the hotel during the Chinese New Year in the future.
"Remember this!"
When Lu Youcai got into the car, he shook the index finger of his right hand again and said to Qin Ran.
This is to remind Qin Ran not to forget the 100 million.
"Don't worry, if the conditions are the same as the bank, it's basically fine."
Qin Ran promised with a smile, and then waved goodbye to the guests in the Chu family.
