Qin Jian called his big name five times, he was used to it, after all, he didn't have the courage to express his dissatisfaction......

"I'm going to have to trouble you again, are your apprentices free? Help me carry something. ”

"Free, of course!" Zhuang Zhuang immediately nodded and responded, in fact, he was at the southern end of the free market at the moment, less than five hundred meters away from Qin Jian.

Then Zhuang Zhuang asked Qin Jian where his location was, he asked someone to pick up things, and when Qin Jian replied that he was in the free market, his face was full of surprise: "What a coincidence, Mr. Qin, I am also in the free market!" ”

"Really? Haha, what a coincidence, where are you, I'll go find you! Qin Jian immediately said happily, this time at least it can save time and wait for them to come.

"I'll go find you, Mr. Qin." Of course, Zhuang Zhuang couldn't let Qin Jian run this leg.

Qin Jian only knew that he was in the grocery area, and he didn't know where it was, so he was speechless for a while, but soon the vendor next to (shēn) immediately reminded: "Sir, you ask him to look at the grocery area, as long as he can see a flagpole, he can find you!" ”

"Is that so?" Qin Jian frowned and asked, finding that the hawker (shēn) was standing a flagpole, full ten meters high, with a black flag hanging on it, and there seemed to be something written on the flag.

The banner is actually written with the name of the vendor's stall, called "Wang Mazi Shop", although there is a towering flagpole in the free market, which is a bit too ostentatious, but in fact, no one can notice what is written on the flag, after all, even Qin Jian can't see clearly, let alone other people?

"As long as he's not blind, he'll be able to see!" The peddler grinned.

Qin Jian immediately reminded Zhuang Zhuang, and within a few seconds, Zhuang Zhuang exclaimed: "I saw Mr. Qin, uh...... Anyway, why is there still a flagpole here? ”

It didn't take long for Zhuang Zhuang to squeeze out of the crowd with sweat profusely and come to Qin Jian: "Mr. Qin! ”

"Where are you wandering? I've been here for a long time, why don't I see you? Qin Jian said with a greeting.

"I'm going to grab some snacks at the South Side Snack Zone." Zhuang Zhuang showed Qin Jian the bulging plastic bag in his hand.

"Wait!" Seeing the contents of the plastic bag, Qin Jian's eyes lit up for a while, and asked Zhuang Zhuang to show it to him again.

"Mr. Qin, I bought it in a dim sum shop, you can try it!" Zhuang Zhuang opened the plastic bag very sensibly and said generously.

"No need, I'll buy it myself!" Qin Jian smiled slightly, glanced at Gu Xue and said, "Wife, I'll go buy something and come back immediately." ”

Seeing Gu Xue nodded, Qin Jian turned around and walked south.

"Huh? Mr. Qin......"

"I know the store, I've bought there before." Without waiting for Zhuang Zhuang to speak, Qin Jian said a word, and disappeared into the crowd.

Zhuang Zhuang sighed, looked back at Gu Xue, and for a while, he was a little speechless, after all, Mr. Qin didn't introduce himself to who the young and beautiful woman beside him was.

"Hello, my name is Gu Xue, and I am Qin Jian's wife......" Gu Xue was the first to introduce.

As soon as he heard this, Zhuang Zhuang's face was suddenly shocked, as if he had seen the Queen Mother, and he was at a loss for a while: "Oops! Hello hello hello! My name is Zhuang Zhuang, uh no, no, no, no......"

Zhuang Zhuang was extremely nervous, and he couldn't say anything, Gu Xue smiled and wanted to shake hands with him, but he wiped his hand on (shēn), withdrew his hand, and hurriedly said: "Madam, forget it, I just took the cake in my hand, and it was all oil." ”

"It's okay." Gu Xue shook her head and said, since it is a friend that Qin Jian knows, then it is necessary to get to know each other well, after all, there are many friends and many roads, maybe they will have something to trouble in the future.

Zhuang Zhuang still refused categorically, and after soaking for a while, Gu Xue smiled helplessly and promised not to shake hands with him.

Later, Gu Xue also asked Zhuang Zhuang what he was doing, Zhuang Zhuang didn't dare to slack off, and replied word for word, almost telling the thing about working from scratch (qíng) when he was young.

"It turns out that Qin Jian's car was bought from you!" After learning the news about Zhuangzhuang, Gu Xue said with surprise.

"Yes!" Zhuang Zhuang nodded: "What does Madam think of the car I modified for my husband?" ”

"It's great, it's fast." Gu Xue replied with a smile, thinking that there was nothing else to praise about this car except for its speed, and saying that it was beautiful was purely out of conscience and modified into that ugly appearance. However, practical (xìng) is strong (tǐng)......

"How effective is the hunting zombies?" But Zhuang Zhuang didn't think about it so much, thinking that Gu Xue (shēn) was a woman who was a "big man", and he hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, so he asked.

"Uh......" Gu Xue was choked by these words, she knew that the knives, guns and cannons modified in the car were used to deal with zombies, but she hadn't used them, and she hadn't even experienced them in the car......

"I haven't used any of these things." Gu Xue told the truth and smiled: "I'm not good at fighting, killing, and killing. ”

"Oh, sorry ma'am, I'm ...... I thought ......" Zhuang Zhuang scratched his head embarrassedly: "I thought you and Mr. Qin often went to the front line!" ”

On the other side, Qin Jian came to the pastry shop, saw the kind-faced store manager, and greeted him with a smile: "Hi! Store manager! ”

"Oh, here?" How could the store manager not remember Qin Jian vividly, and immediately responded with a smile.

"The little brother has already eaten all those things?"

"I ate it all a long time ago, and I ate it all on the same day, and I didn't eat it alone."

"My guess is, otherwise, even if a person has a cow's stomach, he won't be able to eat so much."

The two talked and laughed, and Qin Jian also pointed to the various breads, cakes, and biscuits on the counter, and announced, "I'll continue today."

Wrapped! ”

The store manager let out an exclamation, and immediately pulled out the plastic bag without hesitation: "Okay, little brother!" Hold on! ”

The store manager didn't even weigh the scales, wrapped all the pastries and put them on the counter, and looked at Qin Jian with a smile: "Okay, little brother!" Need help you put it in your basket? ”

"No need, thank you store manager, that ......" Qin Jian looked at the weighing stone that was hanging aside: "Don't you measure it?" ”

"Don't measure it, take all these things with 500 contribution points." The store manager shook his head and said, as if he was content with his losses.

"There are very few people who take care of my business every day, and your arrival is just right for me to clear my warehouse and even more so for me to end the day's work early." Then, he continued.

Qin Jian was a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "I take the liberty of asking, how much do these things you make in a day?" ”

"That's it...... Four or five hundred......" The store manager shrugged his shoulders: "To be exact, you have to use half a bag of flour every day." ”

"It doesn't seem like there are many copies back?" Qin Jian scratched her head, her eyes were full of puzzlement and harmony (qíng), the pastries she made were so delicious, not many people bought them in a day? You can only earn back your capital......

"Hey, I'm used to it, I've been doing this for more than ten years, I've never adjusted the price, and I've never thought about saving money, this world, I can guarantee food and drink, and I'm satisfied if I survive." The store manager said with a sigh, his words full of a feeling of peasing the world.

Qin Jian is (tǐng) admires the store manager's (xìng) grid, but he hopes that when he gets old, he can also look down on the world and have no quarrel with the world.

At this time, a black-clad bodyguard slowly walked to the pastry shop and handed out a bill-like thing from his arms, which seemed to be shown to the store manager.

The moment he saw the black-clothed bodyguard, the store manager was stunned for a moment, and before the other party could speak, he immediately showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Sir, can you give me two more days?" I ......"

"No, sign it." The black-clothed bodyguard said with a faceless face (qíng).

The store manager suddenly looked at Qin Jian embarrassedly, feeling that he had lost face for a while, opened the cabinet door at his feet, and drilled out of the pastry shop, wanting to take the black-clothed bodyguard aside to talk, but the other party didn't give him face at all, and gently pushed him, and pushed him directly!

"Hey!" Seeing this scene, Qin Jian couldn't hold back, and immediately ran over, picked up the store manager, and glared at the black-clothed bodyguard: "What are you doing?" Why push people? ”

"Who are you?" The black-clothed bodyguard asked with a frown, seemingly indifferent to what he had just done.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the store manager immediately turned back to Qin Jian and said, "Forget it, little brother, you can't control this matter (qíng)." ”

"What's the matter, store manager, can you tell me about it?" Qin Jian asked with an annoyed face, he knew that the other party was a security officer of the free market, and finding the store manager might also be some official business about the store, but even if it was official business, he couldn't make trouble and push people on his heels, right? Isn't that an abuse of power?

"Oh, little brother......" The store manager shook his head helplessly, but the black-clothed bodyguard immediately came over and asked, "You want to know what (qíng) is, right?" Can you help him? ”

"I ......" Qin Jian frowned: "You tell me what the hell is going on first, otherwise there are so many people watching around, you can't tell you clearly, I will tell your boss about your abuse of power!" ”

When the black-clothed bodyguard heard Qin Jian's words, he couldn't help but sneer a few times, and then told Qin Jian everything.

Originally, the store manager rented a "high-end" store, but recently many businessmen have come to the free market and want to rent such a store, but now the high-end store is already occupied. As a result of the fire over which the high-end shops were being scrambled, the owners of the free market saw the benefits and recently amended a treaty to increase the rents of all high-end shops by 50 percent.

And it happened that it was the time when the store manager paid the rent recently, and after learning the news, he was stunned for a long time, and he had been sleepless for several nights, after all, he had been selling pastries in the free market for more than ten years, and he had never encountered this kind of (qíng) situation. Ten years, the daily income is just "back to the capital", and even a small loss, so in the face of the rent after the increase of 50%, he can't afford to pay, let alone give him a few days, even if he is given a few months, he is also unable to return to the sky, after all, it is still the same sentence, the daily income can only return to the capital, and he can't save the extra half of the rent at all.

After learning about the details (qíng), Qin Jian frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Shouldn't the tenant be notified in advance of the rent increase?" Although I am not a professional, I have studied a little bit of laws and regulations. ”

"Haha, boy, you're here to be funny, aren't you? Those are all laws and regulations hundreds of years ago, besides, even if there is such a regulation, we will not listen to it, after all, ......" The black-clothed bodyguard bowed down (shēn), put his face close to Qin Jian, and said in his words: "This is the free market ......."

Although the other party's sense of oppression was very strong, Qin Jian did not move at all, looking like he was-for-tat, but when he heard such words, he also frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked around.

I saw that the surrounding onlookers were all watching coldly, and some even showed a gloating smile, as if mocking Qin Jian if he was a fool, why should he meddle in his affairs and help the store manager get ahead......

Qin Jian thought for a long time and was about to compromise, although the other party was arrogant, but there was no time to argue with the other party about this kind of thing (qíng) right now, to put it bluntly, wasn't it because of money?

"How much rent he still owes you, I'll pay it for him." Qin said with a black-clothed bodyguard.

"Are you sure?" The black-clothed bodyguard looked Qin Jian's dress up and down, and felt that he didn't look like a rich man, but he couldn't tell that he was poor, but (shēn) was an ordinary person, and helping people pay this rent in advance was enough for blood.

"Sure!" Qin Jian said categorically.

The black-clad bodyguard said okay

, handed the rent contract to Qin Jian and asked him to read it for himself.

"Seventeen thousand five?" Qin Jian raised his head and asked.

"Yes? Can you? The black-clothed bodyguard asked in a majestic voice, he was already friendly to Qin Jian, otherwise if Qin Jian didn't have the confidence to answer himself just now, he would have regarded him as a troublemaker, and kicked him out of the free market with one hand.

"Here, bring the bracelet." Qin Jian had no face (qíng) and beckoned to him.

After the 17,005 contribution points hit the bracelet of the black-clothed bodyguard, the black-clothed bodyguard finally stopped talking, and he was surprised in his heart.

I really didn't expect that the young man in front of me really paid this rent without even thinking about it, could it be that this is the breadth of a certain family? I didn't know that old man, so I helped him fight halfway?

Maybe that's really the case! After all, if you are an ordinary person, how can you have such a decisive consciousness? Shouldn't we all sit idly by when we encounter this kind of thing? You can't hide from it......

After thinking about it for a long time, the black-clothed bodyguard gradually became nervous, and only hoped that this Kuo Shao should not know his boss, otherwise, the only consequence waiting for him would be to be fired, and in a serious case, he might suffer unimaginable retaliation.

But these are all his guesses after all, and now the black-clothed bodyguard is also lucky, and he said OK lightly, and he is about to turn around and leave quickly.

"Wait!" Qin Jian suddenly stopped him.

The black-clothed bodyguard, who was already weak-hearted, was suddenly shocked, turned around and asked in a trembling voice: "There is still ...... What's up? ”

"I hope you don't push and shove people in the future......" Qin Jian looked at him coldly and hugged the store manager's (shēn) son lightly: "So he fell a lot just now, I don't mind having some conflict with you." ”

These words immediately frightened the black-clothed bodyguard, and the (ròu) on his face twitched uncontrollably, but fortunately he was wearing sunglasses, and no one could see his face carefully.

"I'm sorry!" Almost without any hesitation, the black-clothed bodyguard bowed to the store manager and apologized, and then left with his head bowed.

Qin Jian: "??? ”

This scene surprised Qin Jian, that big guy actually apologized to them? Didn't you just dragging it (tǐng)? Could it be that because he finished paying, the other party's attitude changed?

No, it's not his own money, and this guy seems to be the same "I won't apologize to you if you give me a million" from beginning to end, and he once kicked his nose in the face, which is really strange......

After the matter (qíng) was over, the store manager was grateful, and sent Qin Jian to kneel.

"Little brother, thank you! Thank you for helping me! If it weren't for you, I'd be kicked out to sleep on the street today. ”

Qin Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said that he was actually not that great, he just helped you pay a little rent. At the same time, when he heard the store manager say this, he also subconsciously looked into the pastry shop and saw that there was a monotonous small (chuáng) in the space of less than a few square meters......

Suddenly, Qin Jian's nose was a little sour, could it be that the store manager has been living in this small room for more than ten years? This is both his job and his residence?

Although I have suffered a lot, if I change to myself, I am afraid that if I live here, I will sooner or later hold back my heart, such a big place, you can only put on a show (chuáng), it is not as good as a prison.

"Little brother, I'll find a way to pay you back this money!" The store manager's face was full of excitement, and he wiped his tears and emphasized that he would definitely pay back the money.

"It's okay, manager, I'm not in a hurry." Qin Jian said with a smile.

"Thank you, little brother...... You are my savior......" The store manager said as he snorted and cried, Qin Jian hurriedly said There are people watching around here, they are all over half a hundred years old, why are they still crying?

Hearing Qin Jian say this, the store manager finally stabilized (qíng) Xu, returned to the store and sat down, Qin Jian took out a bottle of water from the basket, gave him two sips, and suppressed the shock.

After persuading for a while, the store manager also slowly spoke: "It seems that I really have to adjust the price of pastries, otherwise I can't say that I can't pay your money, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the rent in the second half of the year." ”

But the next moment, he muttered worriedly: "However, I am afraid that this will lead to dissatisfaction of the old customers, if they don't come, my income will be completely random......"

"Then I'll take care of your business every day......" Qin Jian didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile.

The store manager shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Little brother, I understand your kindness, but you are too embarrassing for me, I originally owed you money, but you deliberately came to take care of my business, isn't it...... Does it mean that you paid my rent for nothing? I don't know who you are, but ...... I don't think you really need to do this, let me try it myself. ”

After speaking, the store manager still smiled: "Anyway, thank you, little brother...... You are really my great benefactor, I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still have the opportunity to meet at first sight......"

Hearing the store manager's words, Qin Jian also realized that he might be too conceited, it is true, the store manager is also a principled person, using his own advantages to give to others, but it is disrespectful to others, unless the other party really puts down his face and accepts his charity with a cheeky face......

Dignity is something that everyone has, two years ago, after I joined the Gu family, dignity was lost for a while, and it was not until now that I found it.

Thinking back to the past for a while, Qin Jianqi (shēn) silently put those pastries into the basket.

"Store manager, I'll leave first if it's okay."

"I'll give it to you!"

"No need!"

The store manager squatted out of the store, and Qin Jian had already disappeared into the sea of people, leading him to stand in place and look for a long time, his face full of confusion.
