There is such a joke about the profession. Several people got together, including businessmen, big officials, and teachers, all of whom talked about their high professional status. One of them looked inconspicuous and said: "It's not to blow to everyone, my profession is too statusy, no matter how big an official sees me, he has to nod his head, I asked him to bow his head, he didn't dare to raise his head. I asked him to look up, but he didn't dare to look down. Someone next to him asked: You are really good, what are you doing quickly? Someone smiled faintly: I'm a barber.

After Fang Zhicheng came to Qiongjin, he always felt that he had lost something, and when he got off work today, he happened to meet Cai Miao, she came to her side and reminded in a low voice, "Director Fang, your hair is a little too long." Only then did Fang Zhicheng react, he hadn't had a haircut for a long time. And after coming to Joankin, he never found a satisfactory barbershop.

Driving out of the provincial capital, slowly walking along the street, I saw a few barber shops, and I was just about to stop, but I found that they were full of young people with fashionable hairstyles, and Fang Zhicheng was still discouraged after all. If you evaluate the biggest difference between Fang Zhicheng and his peers from the appearance, the hairstyle is probably one of them. Fang Zhicheng's hair is generally repaired very short, without sideburns, giving people a very spiritual feeling.

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, sat in the car and dialed Zhang Xiaoliang's phone, Zhang Xiaoliang obeyed the order, and said with a smile: "Haircut?" I found a nice place the day before yesterday, I'll text you the address later. ”

Zhang Xiaoliang hung up the phone, and after waiting for a few minutes, the mobile phone vibrated a few times, Fang Zhicheng glanced at the address, which was not far from his current location, and drove over according to the map.

To Fang Zhicheng's surprise, Zhang Xiaoliang introduced himself to a very inconspicuous barber shop, and the name is also very rustic, "Lao Wang Barbershop". Seeing that there were not many guests inside, Fang Zhicheng got out of the car and walked in. A lean middle-aged man with a small stature, waving a pair of silver scissors with a click.

"Boss, haircut." Fang Zhicheng said with a smile.

"Wait a minute." The barber glanced at Fang Zhicheng and continued to deal with his hair.

Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that this barber was quite individual, so he sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and picked up today's newspaper casually. To his surprise, the newspaper was scratched by a black pen. likes the new and hates the old, Fang Zhicheng found that the news that was ticked off had some connotations and were closely related to current politics.

After about half an hour, the barber felt satisfied, so he patted the guest on the shoulder, the guest and the barber were acquaintances, and after a few words of greeting, the barber beckoned to Fang Zhicheng and asked him to sit on the chair.

The barber shook the scissors, and before they fell, he said, "It's strange that very few young people come to me, and they are usually regular customers. ”

Fang Zhicheng looked at himself in the mirror and said truthfully: "Because someone recommended this place to me." ”

The barber nodded and said, "Then I guess, you must be working in the agency!" ”

Fang Zhicheng smiled: "It's a bit of a doorway, why do you say that?" ”

The barber said, "The people who come to me to get a haircut are all people who sit in the machine. Because I know how to get a decent haircut. Especially young people like you, if you can come to me for a haircut, you must not like the hairstyles that are popular in the barbershops now. ”

Fang Zhicheng sighed: "Boss, it's really amazing. ”

The barber laughed, "No way, I've seen too many people." Because of the industry, I like to study people's hairstyles. In fact, I will trim those fashionable hairstyles on the street now, but I will not cut them for customers, because I know that my customers are a fixed group, and if I suddenly change the style of trimming, not only will the guests be dissatisfied, but I will also lose my core strengths. ”

Fang Zhicheng didn't expect a barber to have so many ways in his heart, and said with a smile: "Boss, you are a shrewd person." A lot of people think of fashion as a trend, and you see typicals as a core competency. ”

The barber shook his head and said, "This is also destined for my shop, which will always be so big." ”

Nowadays, because of the economic drive, many things are developing towards commercialization, and the barber industry is the same. The barber and beauty industry has become a profiteering industry, mainly targeting young women, and most barbershops have set up various packages, with a starting price of more than 100 yuan. Even a complete set of haircuts, care, and beauty services can cost thousands of dollars.

If a barber wants to make money, he has to add more equipment and provide more services. And Lao Wang's barbershop looks a little shabby, a few scissors, just all the belongings.

However, it can be seen that the barber is skillful, and without asking himself what hairstyle he needs, he starts dancing with scissors. Fang Zhicheng smiled and asked, "Why don't you ask me what kind of style I want?" ”

The barber said, "Since you're sitting here, you have to trust my skills." I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Fang Zhicheng showed a hint of helplessness and a wry smile, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you." ”

The barber is very talkative, this is a real Jonkin, and he is very familiar with the current government situation. Listening to his comments on Li Siyuan, Bu Yiren, Wen Jinglong, and Wei Qun one by one, Fang Zhicheng not only secretly thought, but in fact, sometimes it is a good idea to let them, the feudal officials, listen to the voices of the bottom.

For example, Li Siyuan in the eyes of the barber, this is a provincial party secretary who is too high-minded, has been in Huainan for a long time, and wants to do a lot of things, but the actual political achievements are only a handful. As for Bu Yiren, he is a provincial governor who will only follow Li Siyuan as a decoration, and he has never had his own opinions, resulting in the provincial government becoming a vassal of the provincial party committee.

As for Wen Jinglong, this is a careerist who has turned Huainan into a whole with him as the core, and he is unprecedentedly strong in the cohesion of party members, but he has not made anything related to people's livelihood. And Wei Qun is also an official with a very strong desire to control power, and in the coming period, the provincial governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee will be the main theme.

This is the typical old-school barber, they have a lot of experience, and they can always talk to you about whoever you are.

"That's it!" The barber patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder, stared at Fang Zhicheng in the mirror, looked and looked, and checked if there were any flaws.

Fang Zhicheng shook his face from side to side, although he was a little far from his ideal appearance, but after looking at it carefully, he was still quite handsome and sunny.

After Fang Zhicheng finished paying, he found that Zhang Xiaoliang had arrived at some point, and he smiled faintly: "Why did you come over?" ”

Zhang Xiaoliang scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid that you will be cheated by the boss, so come and take a look." ”

When the barber heard this, he was not happy, and said: "Although my shop is small, it has been open for decades, and even the provincial governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee have also given me a haircut, and I haven't seen anyone!" ”

Zhang Xiaoliang hurriedly walked over, stuffed a cigarette for the barber, said hello, and said, "Boss Wang, don't be angry, I'm just joking." For the sake of me, I brought you a business, so don't the adults remember the villains. ”

When the barber saw that it was a good cigarette, he did not refuse, took a puff of the cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said, "That's it, I know that you don't have the intention to ruin my reputation." ”

Fang Zhicheng and Zhang Xiaoliang walked out of the barbershop, and he asked with a smile: "Why do you recommend this barbershop?" ”

Zhang Xiaoliang said in a low voice: "Because Secretary Li used to like to get a haircut here with him. Although now Secretary Li has arrived in Yanjing. But every twenty days or so, he would go to Yanjing to give Secretary Li a haircut. ”

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "No wonder this barber is coaxing. ”

Zhang Xiaoliang said with a smile: "When you are used to seeing big officials, and when you see ordinary people again, your vision is extraordinarily high." ”

Fang Zhicheng patted Zhang Xiaoliang on the shoulder and said, "You shouldn't be driving, right?" Come with me in the car, I'll treat you to dinner and talk by the way. ”

found a food stall, Zhang Xiaoliang took the initiative to get up and order food with the boss, asked for two bottles of beer, and after the food was served, the two chatted while drinking.

"Boss, do you know that Shang Yan has been in a bad state recently? She gets drunk almost every day. After two glasses of beer, Zhang Xiaoliang said slowly.

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and sighed, "Shang Yan, she is really stupid. ”

Zhang Xiaoliang patted the table lightly and said in a low voice: "Boss, or you can accept him." I was so confused by what I was watching. ”

Fang Zhicheng put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, although there are some people you have a good impression of her, you will never touch them." It's not about morality, it's not about external factors, it's just that there's a voice in my heart that makes me unwilling to do that. ”

Fang Zhicheng's words were very false, but Zhang Xiaoliang could know the feeling that Fang Zhicheng said, and said with a wry smile: "Poor Shang Yan, I don't know when she will be able to come out of the shadows." ”

Fang Zhicheng faintly said, as if with a hint of helplessness, "Even if you will be at a loss, you will find the direction of the future one day." We just sat next to it and watched quietly. ”

Zhang Xiaoliang nodded, took out a few pieces of tissue paper from the leather bag he carried, put them in Fang Zhicheng's hand, and said softly: "This is some information about Wang Xianbing and Cheng Chong. Wang Xianbing has been in the Development Planning Department for many years, and although there are no bright spots in his work, there is no negligence in his work. It's just that there is a bit of a problem with his private life, some people say that he likes to gamble and spends money lavishly. As for Cheng Chong, this is a relational household, and he is related to Prime Minister Siyuan. The reason why they have such a bad attitude towards you is that I speculate that it has something to do with Chen Ying. ”

Fang Zhicheng's brows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "I don't have a conflict with her, right?" Why is she targeting me? ”

Zhang Xiaoliang sighed: "She is gone, you are on, it is inevitable that you will be psychologically unbalanced." ”

Fang Zhicheng touched his chin and said in a low voice, "You should have a way, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaoliang smiled treacherously and said, "Don't worry, I will send a little information to the two of you in the past few years to ensure that they are obedient." By the way, do you want to send those materials to the discipline inspection? ”

This guy must have found some tricks for the two of them, Fang Zhicheng still knows Zhang Xiaoliang's skills very well, Zhang Xiaoliang will not say the specific reason, and Fang Zhicheng will not ask, the two already have a good tacit understanding.

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "For the time being, I still don't need it, let's make less trouble for Director Shen." Just give them a little warning. ”
