Chapter 20: Coincidence

Tree Heart City, the city center.

People come and go here, and it is much more lively than the slum where Zhao Lin lives.

Men and women, old and young, dressed in colorful clothes, all look very fashionable.

Zhao Lin has been living in this city for seven years, and this is the second time he has come to the city center, and the last time he came was when the landlord Qin Yue invited him to dinner on his birthday.

And this time, I came to get paid.

It's not that the fare from the east of the city to the city center is very expensive, and Zhao Lin can't afford it, but he was originally an otaku, and he usually doesn't even go out of the door when he has nothing to do, and he only needs two yuan for the bus fare to come to the city center, and he can still pay for these two yuan.

The three of them soon took the No. 12 bus here, did not hang out, and went straight to Mr. Lu's company.

"It seems that this Mr. Lu is a big boss, and he still lives in such a prosperous city center." Zhao Lin chatted as he walked.

"Hey, don't look at the van he drives is so shabby, he's a rich man! It's also very low-key. Ling Fan replied with a smile.

"It's very popular to be an intermediary."

Zhao Lin suddenly felt a little envious, Mr. Lu's kind of work, as long as he has a wide network, he can collect money while sitting, which is very easy.

"Of course, his agency is the most famous in the city, and it can pull several trucks a day." Ling Fan replied.

He and Mr. Lu are already old acquaintances, and they know him better.

"How much does he earn when he does this business?"

"I don't know much about this, a person should have a 20% commission, for example, we have 20 yuan per hour, and he draws 2 yuan from it, that is, the injection molding factory will give him 22 yuan an hour, and we only have 20 yuan an hour."

Ling Fan only guessed, for this point, it was all kept secret between the factory and the intermediary, and if you wanted to know the specifics, you had to ask them.

"That's a lot, a person is 20 yuan a day, and a car of people has hundreds." Zhao Lin said enviously.

Qi Meng was not interested in this topic, she just looked at the scenery on the side of the road as she walked.

The street is bustling, and many people on the road are staring at Qi Meng, although she is still a college student, the tight skirt she wears today looks particularly charming, and the return rate of passers-by is as high as 100%.

"Some of them are thirsty, so let's go buy water to drink." Ling Fan's mouth was already dry.

Shuxin City is located in the southern part of the country, and the weather is still very hot in September, so the three of them are all hiking after getting off the bus.

Not only Ling Fan alone, Zhao Lin and Qi Meng were both sweating.

"Let's go, I'll invite you!" Qi Meng said happily.

"Ah~ No, how can you let a girl have a treat? Or I'll invite you! Ling Fan hurriedly said.

After all, he was the first to say that he wanted to buy water, and Qi Meng is a girl, how can the two old men be embarrassed to let a girl come to treat them?

It's just that Zhao Lin didn't dare to say a word, so he could only smirk.

He only has 20 yuan on him, and 20 yuan is more than enough to buy three bottles of water in the east, but this is the city center, and the things he buys are more expensive.

What's more, he doesn't know the prices in the city center, and once he says that he has a treat, it won't be embarrassing if he doesn't have enough money later.

"I'd better treat you, if it weren't for my ...... yesterday"

"Hey~ Don't mention it, it's not a big deal, let Ling Fan's kid have a treat, he's a big boss." Zhao Lin said with a smile.

"What do you usually do? Ling Fan did look like a big boss. Qi Meng praised, and at the same time talked about work.

When she asked this, Zhao Lin and Ling Fan didn't know how to answer.

Two people usually have nothing to do, and making some small money online is naturally a disgraceful thing, so they can't say it directly.

To put it bluntly, it's similar to the vagrant described in the game.

"Haha, I usually do a daily job to earn some living expenses!" Zhao Lin replied with a smile, a little embarrassed, but not so that Qi Meng could see the clues.

"I also envy your kind of life, unrestrained, unlike me, who are locked up in school all day long, like a cage." Qi Meng showed a look of envy.

"You're still young, so stay in school and study, and when you really go out into society, you'll know how hard life is outside." Zhao Lin said seriously, as if he had become Qi Meng's parents, and he was bitter.

"Hey, it's tiring to talk too much." Qi Meng sighed.

"It's right in front of the store, where I often go to buy cigarettes." Ling Fan suddenly pointed to the shop in front of him and said.

"Ling Fan, it seems that you often come to the city center!"

"Hey, hey! It's not very often, I've been here a few times, and I've come to get paid. ”

The three of them soon came to the store that Ling Fan had mentioned.

This is a relatively small store, not as luxurious as Zhao Lin imagined, and there are not many goods to buy in it, just some snacks, and the types of cigarettes are not complete.

The overall look is a bit like a small shop in a rented house, so Zhao Lin didn't expect that there would be such a small shop in the city center.

The people who come here to buy things are usually some elementary school students, and their pocket money is not much, but it is enough to buy snacks on it.

"Grandma, it's so early!"

As soon as Ling Fan stepped forward, he greeted the owner of the store.

The owner of the shop was an old woman who looked to be eighty years old and had gray hair.

"Little Fanzi, come to the city center to play again!" The old woman said with a smile, the deep wrinkles at the corners of her face squeezed her eyes together, and she looked very kind.

"yes, I'm getting paid again today."

"I really envy you, work in peace, unlike my family's big mountain, I don't have any interest, and I asked the old man to go to the deacon to lead him out this morning, hey~" The old woman sighed.

"Big Mountain?!"

Everyone was amazed.

Could it be that what the old grandmother said was Zhang Dashan? And he just came out of the deacon's office, so it can't be such a coincidence!

But Zhang Dashan is the director of the injection molding factory, and the salary is not low, tens of thousands a month, how can it be unproductive?

"Yes, my son Zhang Dashan has caused trouble in the factory again, hey, it's really worrying." The old woman replied.

The fog goes~

That's right, the old grandmother is Zhang Dashan's mother, this Zhang Dashan is really unfilial, his mother is a lot old and has to stay at home to watch the store, so he doesn't know where he spent his high salary, and he definitely didn't keep it to be filial to his parents.

But that's a coincidence, isn't it? You can even buy a bottle of water and come to the enemy's house!

Everyone just smiled and comforted the old grandmother, and did not tell the truth about yesterday's incident.

"Xiao Fanzi, what do you want to buy, I'm too old to be flexible!"

"Grandma doesn't need to trouble you, we'll take it ourselves, and you just wait to collect the money." Qi Meng said with concern.

"If you want to drink some water, everyone can take it, don't be polite to me!" Ling Fan said refreshingly.
