Chapter 82: A Whim
Somewhat annoyed, I walked out of the café, flagged down a taxi on the way, and headed straight for the flea market in the north of the city.
Zhang Xueyao and Qin Xiaolan sat in the café and looked at each other.
"He just wants to die to save face and suffer sin, and he doesn't bother to care about him."
Qin Xiaolan took a sip of juice and blinked his big eyes.
"I have to go back to the company, and I have a very important project to do in the next few days."
Zhang Xueyao took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time.
"Then you don't care about him?"
Qin Xiaolan had a straw in his mouth and looked at her with a puzzled face.
"I can't lose my job for this, please miss, you can go back to work quickly."
Zhang Xueyao stood up, picked up the pink bag beside her, and prepared to turn around and leave.
Qin Xiaolan picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and said softly: "Okay, then let him be willing to fall." ”
I walked around the market for a long time, but I didn't find a free stall, I thought about coming to set up a stall, but I came too late, and it was already overcrowded.
I pushed through the crowd and walked forward with difficulty, and finally found the scum brother on the left side of my body.
"What are you doing here, there are no empty pavements at this time."
Brother Scumbag was holding an ice cream in his hand and was eating it slowly, showing an expression of enjoyment.
"Brother scumbag, tell you something, you don't believe it."
I walked over, sat down, took out the cigarette case from my pocket, and handed one to Brother Scum, who reached out and took it, and put the cigarette on his ear.
"What don't I believe?"
"Guess what, old witch..."
I took a hard sip and choked on my tears.
"She's sending someone to follow you again?"
Brother Scumbag continued to lick the ice cream, and the square ice cream had been ravaged into a triangle by him.
"No, guess again."
"I guess his grandma, what the old witch did was not yin and immoral, and it hurt the heavens and reason."
Brother Scumbag swallowed most of the remaining ice cream in one gulp, threw the ice cream stick aside, and took the cigarette off his ear and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Qin Xiaolan, that friend of mine is the girl who came to our house last night."
I lit the cigarette for the scumbag.
"That old witch sent someone to kidnap her yesterday."
"What? Kidnap? ”
I shushed and looked around warily.
"That's not all, she also arrested Zhang Xueyao."
"What does she want to do?"
The scumbag frowned and flicked the ash of his cigarette.
"I said I wanted them to help me start a business and open a store."
I picked up a bottle of mineral water at my feet, unscrewed the lid, and drank most of the bottle with a clatter.
"You promised?"
Brother Scumbag looked at me with disdain.
"Of course I didn't agree, Zhang Xueyao and Qin Xiaolan told me in the café just now, and I came here directly after listening to it."
Brother Scumbag took a cigarette in his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he said hoarsely: "Theoretically, you should agree to her about this." ”
"Why?"
"Your current virtue, you can't become famous, your self-esteem is still strong, it's very difficult to make money on your own, unless you go to work, don't put the stall on the ground, but your temper, the leader or the boss reprimands you twice, you can't stand it, now someone is helping you make money, why not do it."
Brother Scumbag threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and looked at me with envy on his face.
I looked at the crowd of people coming and going in the stalls, and suddenly felt very confused, how should I choose, since the lady intends to help me, it means that my relationship with Xue Xinyan has been recognized by her, theoretically this is something that should be happy, but I just can't be happy.
At this time, the WeChat bell sounded, and I took out my mobile phone to check that it was a video call from Xue Xinyan.
I hesitated for a moment and answered.
She sat in a gazebo by the sea, with a black toad mirror, her beautiful hair was curled up by the sea breeze, dancing in the wind, her white and tender cheeks were even more crystal clear and white and flawless against the background of the sunglasses, her red lips were slightly upturned, and the two silver earrings shook twice, shining and exquisite under the sun.
She was wearing a pink swimsuit, half-lying on a lounge chair, and laughed happily when she saw me answer the video call.
"Where are you, I seem to see the sea."
I stared at the screen and watched carefully.
"Well, there's a villa for my mom here, and she said let me go here for a walk."
Seeing that Xue Xinyan is so perfect, so tranquil and natural, looking at herself, she is simply heaven and earth, and there is no comparison at all.
My damn self-esteem was flooding again, and my low self-esteem was slowly taking over my optimism.
"Uh, that, Xinyan, I'm selling something, let's talk when I get home."
With that, I hurriedly hung up the video call.
Brother scumbag stared at me and said, "What? Damaged self-esteem? ”
I was fascinated by a black short-sleeved shirt on the paving, which had several intricate diamond-shaped patterns printed on it, and I remember that when I was in elementary school, my mother had bought me one of these clothes, and in a trance, I saw that the pattern floated up, and they kept changing and twisting, and finally it turned into a big iron cage, and the cage got bigger and bigger, and finally since the whole market was packed in, the strong and thick steel bars were as thick as telephone poles.
"Hey, what do you want?"
Brother Scumbag pushed me and was sorting out the clothes on the paving.
"Brother scumbag, if I accept the help of that old witch, will I become a subordinate?"
I started to get irritable, especially in this noisy flea market.
When Brother Scumbag saw my confused expression, he sighed deeply, and he said lightly: "Wang Tao, let me give you an analogy, for example, there is a scale here, and you are this scale." ”
Brother Scumbag took the lighter in his hand and gestured back and forth.
"But what about this scale, it's like money, the higher the scale, the more money, but if you want to make more money, what weight do you need to add?"
Brother Scumbag looked at me with a serious face and asked me to answer his question.
"Scales, scales?"
I stammered in reply.
"That's right, it's your own weight, the heavier you look at yourself, the more you can double the amount of money, in other words, you have to look up to yourself, if you want to weigh yourself, do you have to know your own weight?"
"Brother scumbag, I understand what you said, I just..."
"You know a piece of, if you do, you can't sell a dress in a week."
The scumbag spat and glared at me fiercely.
A warm breeze blew, bringing a burst of moldy and spoiled smell, I hurriedly covered my nose, but the scumbag took a deep breath.
"If you want to survive in this place, you must first adapt to this place, help me watch the stalls, and I will go to the toilet."
Brother Scumbag stood up, holding a fan in his hand, black fat shorts swayed and swayed, a pair of brown sandals had been worn for a summer, gray short sleeves, shiny oil, I had never seen him wash, he turned around and hummed a little song, and swaggered away.
If only I had the mentality of a scumbag, I lowered my head and began to be sentimental.
"Young man, do you sell slippers?"
A hoarse voice came, and I looked up, and I was greeted by a sixty or seventy-year-old grandmother, her face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, her teeth had fallen out, she was wearing a floral stunt on her upper body, black gauze pants on her lower body, and a pair of black cloth shoes.
"Grandma, this doesn't sell slippers, you can go and have a look next door."
I explained to her, showing a smile on my face, for some reason, I have always liked the elderly, I always feel that I can see the traces of time in them, and more I can hear a lot of my favorite stories, such as the deceased Professor Liu, every time I think of her kind face, I will burst into tears, sad.
"Oh, I've been there for a few times, so, do you sell pajamas?"
She asked with a frown, looking at the clothes on the stall.
"Grandma, I only sell clothes worn by young people, and nothing else, you can go to other stalls and have a look."
I patiently explained to her.
"Young man, if you want to do a good business, you have to buy more goods, complete goods, a wide variety, in order to attract customers, you are too single, anyway, it is a small business, why not buy more goods."
The old grandmother shook her head with emotion, turned around and walked away, muttering as she went.
I listened to her words, and instantly woke up, yes, why not enter some small commodities that the public likes, if you just follow the scumbag, it is really too single, in the huge flea market, there are countless stalls selling young people's clothing, and they are newcomers, and they can't compete with others at all.
I sat there and smirked, marveling at my whim.
"Hey, hey, it's daytime, don't dream."
The scum guy sat down next to me with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Brother scum, I don't want that old witch's charity."
"What, the lottery won?"
Brother Scumbag slapped a mosquito to death on his arm and looked at me with disdain.
"No, I want to buy more different goods, the more varieties the better, wouldn't that be easier to sell."
I looked at the scumbag brother excitedly, still smirking.
"You think about this idea, others have thought about it hundreds of years ago, think about it, the more things you enter, the more backlog of goods, in the end, you can't make ends meet, the capital chain is broken, and it's useless for you to cry dad and call your mother."
Brother Scumbag shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless gesture.
"Then what if I sell it, won't the funds be active?"
Brother Scum's cold water didn't dampen my enthusiasm.
"That's right, do you have the confidence to sell it, it's not that I hit you, you can't even sell clothes, you have strong self-esteem, and your face is small, let alone sell other things."
"That's not necessarily, as long as I put my heart into doing something, I will definitely succeed."
I looked at the scumbag brother with confidence and made a fearless and bumpy expression.
"Yo yo yo, okay, look at your virtue, I support you, but if you can't do it well, don't come to me to complain, I won't comfort people."
Brother Scumbag looked at me with a wicked smile, as if he had seen the end.
"Well, you'll see."
I patted the scumbag on the shoulder and got up to leave.
"Why are you going?"
"Go home and get two dishes, drink some, the master is in a good mood today."
I swaggered away, and the scumbag brother shouted in the back: "Hey, don't be too salty, make it spicy..."
Ding Dong, a WeChat prompt sounded, I took out my mobile phone, it was Sun Kai who sent a message, I clicked on WeChat, only to see that it said: Xiaotao, congratulations to me, I am the vice president.
