The eastern section of Chunhe Road is a famous trinket market in Beijing, a large area of buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, with completely different colors and shapes on the courtyard walls, roofs, porches, cornices, columns and relief decorations on the windows.

The stalls of trinkets are placed at the door, under the eaves, and some in the courtyard, the bosses in various costumes greet the crowd who come to buy things. Not only the locals of the capital, but also some foreigners are mixed in.

Lu Jing wore a white T-shirt and gray-white slacks, and walked with Wang Can sweating profusely.

"Pick it up, I said." Lu Jing hugged a white furry bear and followed behind Wang Can, and the two of them were choosing a birthday gift for Xiaoyu. As soon as Lu Jing entered the market, he casually hugged a one-meter-tall furry bear to complete the task, Wang Can was still carefully selecting, and he had been picking for almost two hours, and there was no one he liked.

"I don't like it very much!" Wang Can had beads of sweat on his forehead, a cigarette in his mouth, a puff of smoke, and squinting at the afternoon sun.

"You cow!" Lu Jing rubbed his face speechlessly, and pointed to a cold drink shop in front of him, "I'll wait for you there." I'm exhausted. ”

"Let's go." Wang Can was also so tired that he threw away the cigarette, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. The cold drink shop is boxy, not very big, more than a dozen seats have long been filled, and the waitress wearing a red peaked sun hat and an orange long-sleeved T-shirt asked sweetly, "What do you want to drink, two gentlemen?" ”

"Two bottles of mineral water!" Lu Jing handed over the money, but heard someone laughing behind him, "It's really funny to run here and drink mineral water." ”

This cold drink shop mainly sells coffee and milk tea, and the average consumption is relatively expensive. Drinking a bottle of mineral water for five cents a piece is somewhat unusual.

Lu Jing ignored the laughter, when people are short of water, mineral water quenches their thirst more than drinks. He handed a bottle of ice mineral water to Wang Can, unscrewed the mineral water bottle, held the woolly bear in one hand, and held the water bottle in the other hand and poured it violently. His image was a little weird, which drew another chuckle behind him.

Wang Can looked over with unkind eyes, and saw a woman with fair and delicate skin, delicate glasses on her face, some pimples on the right side of her face, ponytail, medium height, wearing a fairy grass yellow checkered long-sleeved shirt, and blue slim jeans looking at him and Lu Jing with disdain.

"What water do we drink, what does it matter to you, how do you hold on when you're full?" Wang Can said unhappily.

There happened to be two empty seats inside, and a young couple left. Lu Jing stopped Wang Can, who was dissatisfied with the woman's sneer and was about to step forward and speak, and said to the eyed woman: "Some people's plain appearance is directly proportional to their appearance, and taking pleasure in mocking others can bring out how strange she is!" As he spoke, he said to Wang Can: "The seat is vacant there, let's go and sit." ”

"Hmph, you're wonderful. If you want to drink mineral water, go out and turn left for 500 meters, where there is a wholesale store. Keep you drinking enough. The glasses woman snorted coldly.

"Damn, that little girl's skin is underdrawn." Wang Can, who sat down, was still indignant, "You say, let's drink water and get in the way of her." ”

Lu Jing smiled: "Don't pay attention to her, she feels so good about herself, you can't really go up and slap her." Otherwise, I'll stop you from doing anything. ”

"Yes, damn, it's justified to beat a woman, but it's also unreasonable." Wang Can drank water and asked, "There are no suitable gifts here in the east, let's go to the west to see if there are any jade bracelets in a while." ”

The western section of Chunhe Road is the concentration of the antique market, in which Kanye is able to have people, and the fish and dragons are mixed.

"Generous!" Lu Jing smiled and gave a thumbs up, Wang Can and Xia Siyu had some ambiguous feelings in their previous lives, but they were not together due to the pressure of their families. But he really couldn't think of how Wang Can, this kid, started thinking about other fifteen-year-old girls now, this is a bit evil.

He remembered that in his previous life, Xiaoyu's fifteen-year-old gift was bought by Wang Can on his behalf. He's forgotten what he's been up to now.

"you, what a hundred or ten quick money is a big deal." Wang Can took a big sip of water and asked, "How is your company?" ”

"The renovation hasn't been done yet. The first employee has not yet been seen, and yesterday's interview has been postponed to tomorrow. The man said to think about it. I haven't gotten the agency right, and I'm still sending an email to Zhou Fusheng, president of Nokia China, to discuss the matter of agency, hoping to have a reply. ”

Wang Can rolled his eyes, "Is it so troublesome to use?" It's not enough to find someone to introduce you, just get an agent. I've noticed that you've been quite confused lately, always choosing complex methods and simplifying things. ”

Lu Jing smiled slightly, "You don't understand." "The complexity is for the sake of simplicity in the future, if his ability to show is only to rely on the shadow of his father and brother a few times, he will speak in front of his father and brother in the future, and in front of those uncles who are good friends, the weight of his speech will be greatly reduced.

This will be very detrimental to his future development, and once he is labeled as incompetent, it will become very difficult to wash it off.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. I don't know anything about business. By the way, how did you handle the rumors? Later, at night, you be careful Mingxiu's girl questioned you, maybe Li Feifei will go. ”

"The photo negatives are in Liu Xiaoshan's hands, so it may be a little troublesome. Zhu Mao Tan has promised that the rumors will subside on the side of the fourth middle school. Don't worry about it, it's just a small thing now. The thing that has no shadow is to blow into the sky, and it is still fake. Lu Jing knows very well that he is not an entertainment star, and when a hot discussion passes, everyone will forget, and academic performance is the eternal theme of the fourth middle school. What's more, there are many untruths in the rumors that can't stand scrutiny, as long as Zhu Mao Tan comes forward to deny it, even if there are photos flowing to the fourth middle school, this matter is only a few minutes of heat after all, and it can't be stirred up. As for Yinghua International, Lu Jing is too lazy to care, even if Liu Xiaoshan gets a photo in their school, it is impossible for the No. 4 Middle School to consider expelling him. At most, Lu Jing's reputation in Yinghua International is stinky.

As she spoke, a beautiful girl walked in from outside the store, her pretty face was slightly round, her eyes were like a puddle of clear water, and she wore two bead-shaped crystal earrings on her ears, which lined her skin with snow. A snow-white puff-sleeved long-sleeved lapel shirt with a light solid color pattern looks particularly elegant. The blue knee-length slim square skirt was tied with a shallow belt, and a pair of beautiful legs wearing high heels stood straight, as white as jade.

Lu Jing saw Wang Can at the front door with a stunned expression, his eyes flashed with excitement, he knew that this kid had seen a beautiful woman, turned his head, and happened to see the fashionably dressed Zhang Li walking into the small shop with an elegant black and white striped handbag in his hand.

When Zhang Li saw Lu Jing, he was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at him with a complicated expression, sat in front of the glasses woman, and whispered.

"Damn, how can such a beautiful girl be in the same league as that vulgar glasses girl." Wang Can muttered. Lu Jing smiled: "I know, do I want to introduce you to you?" ”

"Okay, you know all the beauties, but it's a pity that the beauties don't know you!" Wang Can quipped, "Let's go, go buy a bracelet." It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and you must buy it at five o'clock, and then take a taxi to Huihai Hotel. ”

"Let's go!" Lu Jing drank the last sip of water, put the bottle on the small square table, and walked out of the small shop with the furry bear and Wang Can in his arms.

The sun hung obliquely in the sky, dragging the houses on both sides of the street that were not wide into long shadows.

"Lu Jing!" After walking two steps, a woman's voice came from behind him, it was Zhang Li and the glasses girl. Wang Can turned around in surprise and said, "Damn, you really know each other." I'm going to do my own shopping and I'll call later. ”

"Okay, get back to me." Lu Jing gestured, stood in place, and waited for them to come over.

"Hey, I think you're so silly hugging a stuffy bear." The glasses woman sneered very unceremoniously. Lu Jing ignored her and looked at Zhang Li with a frown. Zhang Li said softly: "This is my classmate, Wang Fang." As he spoke, a crowd of pedestrians came down the street, and the three of them retreated to the shade under the eaves of a corner of the roadside.

Zhang Li looked at the sky with some melancholy, sighed and said, "There was a problem with the intermediary, and my visa was not processed." ”

Lu Jing was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you already get the notice from the university?" ”

"Hmph, the money is not enough, and the intermediary has stopped." Wang Fang snorted coldly, she looked at Lu Jing very unpleasantly. She is Zhang Li's good sister, and she knows that Zhang Li wants to study abroad.

Lu Jing knew the reason, it seemed that it was the impact of Yu Yi's case, and he didn't know what to say for a while. It is definitely wrong to give it to individuals to study abroad after the country's money is embezzled, but Zhang Li's personal fate was changed by him. He felt in a trance, as if his hand was in the air, and the fate of an unrelated person had changed.

Lu Jing looked at Zhang Li, who forced a smile, and the eyes of the two met in the air. Zhang Li's eyes were very complicated when he looked at him, and he knew something about him depending on the situation. The two looked away in embarrassment.

The atmosphere froze a little for a while. Wang Fang felt a little bored, so she said: "Zhang Li, I'll go first, I'll help you ask what you said." ”

"Thank you!" A grateful smile appeared on Zhang Li's face.

The queen of glasses is gone, and the atmosphere between the two is becoming more and more awkward. The bargaining voice of Chun and Lu suddenly became very distant, and Lu Jing and Zhang Li stood together in a corner of the shadow, each looking at the sky in the distance.

Lu Jing was silent for a while and asked, "Do you think I'm particularly hateful?" Zhang Li nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and said softly: "I know about my dad, I don't blame you." Aunt Fang told me about you. Nothing is wrong with your loved ones, right? ”

The dust has settled on Yu Yi's case, a number of relevant people have been punished by party discipline, and those who have violated the law have been handed over to the judicial organs for handling. The final result will definitely have to wait for a while.

Lu Jing shook his head, "It's okay." Can you still do it? ”

"I don't know, let's give it a try, after all, I've worked hard for so long, it's a pity to give up now." Zhang Li's smile was bitter, and she spent a whole year reviewing her English to take the TOEFL. She is about to graduate from college in 2 months, but she doesn't want to go to the unit assigned by the school.

Lu Jing felt that it was necessary to find a common topic, otherwise the atmosphere between the two would be even more awkward, "How is Teacher Fang doing?" I haven't seen her for a long time, and I heard that she took a long vacation. ”

Aunt Fang was going through the divorce procedures, and her husband Yu Yuanchao was reluctant to divorce, and asked Aunt Fang to give him 100,000 yuan before he was willing to sign the divorce agreement. Aunt Fang just came to sell a pair of ancestral blue and white porcelain vases, and the highest antique shop in the west was only willing to pay 60,000 yuan. ”

Lu Jing frowned and said: "Yu Yuanchao is too shameless, why does he want a woman to pay him for a divorce." ”

Zhang Li looked tired, and reached out to brush the hair on his forehead behind his ears, "I probably owe money to the casino." If he gets divorced, he will have a problem even eating. He was fired from the factory a few days ago for gambling. ”

"So, do you need my help?" Lu Jing was a little worried, he kind of understood why Teacher Fang had an accident this summer, with such a gambler husband who lost everything, it was possible for anything to happen at home.
