After Brother Slag came back, the food naturally didn't have to worry, I wrung two catties of mutton in the nearby fresh market, prepared to wrap some dumplings, and bought a catty of silkworm chrysalis and a carp.

Back in the yard, Brother Slag began to get busy, Qin Ling made dumplings with me, Brother Slag was responsible for cooking, and in less than an hour, a sweet and sour carp and a dry silkworm chrysalis were out of the pot.

Qin Tong pinched a silkworm chrysalis with his hand, threw it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, only to hear a clatter, the silkworm chrysalis was bitten by him, and the pale yellow juice flowed out of the corners of his mouth, which made me retch.

"Can you pay attention to the image."

I frowned and handed him a tissue.

Qin Yan wiped his mouth and said casually: "What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders here." ”

Brother Scumbag stood by the stove and cooked dumplings, he coughed lightly, looked at me and said, "That girl surnamed Qin, why haven't you seen her for a long time?" ”

Brother Scumbag is talking about Qin Xiaolan, since he went home for the Chinese New Year, he has met once on the street, and it is estimated that he has not returned yet.

"She should still be in her hometown, why did you suddenly remember her?"

I took three pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen cabinet and put them on the table.

Brother Scumbag didn't say anything, just stirred twice in the boiling water with a spatula, and after a while, he said thoughtfully: "I think you two are quite compatible, since you broke up with Xinyan, you might as well try it with the girl surnamed Qin." ”

I laughed dryly, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "I don't think about these things now, and besides, I and Qin Xiaolan's girl are only suitable to be friends, not partners." ”

Brother Scumbag sandwiched a dumpling, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, and after taking a bite, he whispered, "It's still salty." ”

Qin Yan pounded the garlic, and he laughed and said, "I like heavy flavors, salty ones." ”

Brother Scumbag put the dumplings on the plate, raised his eyebrows again and said, "Look at you, why have you become a ball of meat in the past few days of the Chinese New Year?" ”

Qin Yi pouted and said, "Who made my family's food too good, and I will get fat when I eat." ”

I shook my head helplessly, kicked him and said, "You mean, you eat bran every day and can't eat enough?" ”

Qin Yi glared at me and said stupidly: "I eat bran with you, and I eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea with Brother Scum." ”

I glanced at Brother Scumbag, and then laughed, this kid is really getting more and more oily.

This meal can be regarded as a dust wash for Brother Scum, he is just like me and Qin Li's parents, always urging us to be positive and motivated, and not to be impetuous, so Brother Scumbag is back this time, Qin Li and I are very happy.

After the three of them sat down, Qin Li brought a bottle of liquor, the packaging and pattern of the box were extremely exquisite, and it was a good wine of great value at a glance. ”

Qin Yan took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Brother Scumbag didn't come back, let's just drink some casually." ”

I smiled bitterly, smacked him, and said angrily, "Where did you get this wine?" ”

"I stole it from my dad, he has a lot of famous wines, and this bottle is considered inconspicuous, so I took it with me."

Qin Yan took another sip, he frowned, bared his teeth and stuck out his tongue.

Brother Han smiled and said: "You kid has really done all the bad things, and you just have to ask for your father's wine, how can there be any reason to steal it." ”

Qin Yan sandwiched a piece of fish, glanced at the scumbag brother and said: "He is very picky, of course he won't give it to me, but he gives Xue Yao a lot of New Year's money, he has grown so big, it's the first time I've seen him shoot so generously." ”

We chatted a few more words, and when I saw that the atmosphere had subsided, I picked up my glass and whispered: "This glass of wine toasts Brother Scum, thank Brother Slag for helping us for a long time." ”

Qin Yan also picked up his wine glass and looked at the scumbag with a serious face.

Brother Scumbag and I knocked down the glass, raised our heads and drank it all, and Qin Ling and I also drank the residual wine in the cup.

I picked up the wine bottle, filled it again in turn, picked up the glass and said: "This second glass of wine, we respect the cause, although so far, I have achieved nothing, but in the new year, I have the confidence to do a good job, of course, the help of the two brothers is indispensable." ”

The three of us drank it all again, Qin Yan was a little stunned, his cheeks were red, his expression was wooden, he didn't know what he was muttering to himself, Brother Scumbag drank a lot, but he drank too quickly, and his cloudy eyes seemed to hide some dull bitterness.

Brother Scumbag patted me on the shoulder, and said hoarsely: "Brother, business is not something that can be successful overnight, throughout the ages, how many businessmen have become rich overnight, and even if there is, it is an ancient genius." ”

He lit a cigarette and continued: "I understand your current mood very well, but what you do must be done steadily, targeted, do not act blindly, you now have a large number of clothes in your hands, we don't have to worry about selling, just after the Spring Festival, business is very cold, and after a while, after the enthusiasm of consumers comes up, you are not too late to make a move." ”

I leaned back in the chair, nodded thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and said lightly: "I'm not in a hurry, I used to be too impetuous, I always wanted to eat a fat man in one go, but now I see it very openly, but I don't know that many small profits have been ignored by myself, but anyway, as long as the goods are still there, I have the confidence to sell." ”

Brother Scumbag spat out his cigarette, looked at Qin Yan again and said, "Hey, what are you muttering, follow him to work hard in the future, be smart." ”

Qin Yan smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, and continued to immerse himself in his own world.

I sighed lightly and said, "Brother scum, are you still planning to set up a stall this year?" ”

"What if you don't do it? The old and young in the family are waiting for me to get the money back. ”

Brother Scumbag snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, sandwiched another dumpling, dipped it in garlic paste, threw it into his mouth and chewed it with relish.

It was late at night, the stars were shining, it was quiet, and I habitually glanced at the wall, but I didn't see the black cat, and it disappeared out of thin air.

Standing in the corner of the courtyard, following the late night breeze, swaying gently, a temporary rainproof shelter is set up next to the laurel tree, which is full of clothes as high as a hill, the corners of my mouth are gently raised, secretly thinking, there is no worry about selling, I use more snacks by myself, it is much better than asking people to do things.

After Brother Slag came back, the basement added a lot of life, he likes to drink tea in winter, this time he came back from his hometown, brought a lot of tea, I just made a few cups, in order to relieve the emergency need of dry mouth, not to mention what to taste tea, tea evaluation.

The sound of sound sleep sounded again, and I pursed my lips and smiled, and before I knew it, I passed out.

The next day, I called Xue Xinyan, prompted an empty number, and sent a WeChat message, she had already blocked me, glanced at the car outside the courtyard gate, and muttered in her heart, I would return the car to her no matter what.

After breakfast, I drove to the lady's villa, lying on the iron door and looking in, for a long time, it seems to be a lot of depression here, but the birds chirp, the door is empty, indicating that this place is still inhabited.

I rang the doorbell and waited for a while, and the butler, who was about forty years old, came out, and when he saw me lying on the door, he glanced at me, and said lukewarmly, "Why are you here?" The eldest lady and the lady are not at home. ”

"What? Xinyan is back. ”

I frowned and stared at the butler.

The housekeeper shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "What are you lying to, Mrs. and Miss have never come back since they went abroad, and I have spent the Spring Festival alone." ”

After saying that, she pursed her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with her holiday.

I rolled my eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Can you contact Xinyan?" Well, if you can't reach her, you can contact your wife. ”

The housekeeper blinked, and walked into the house reluctantly, she took her mobile phone, found Xue Xinyan's WeChat, and sent a voice call, prompting the sound for a long time, but she didn't answer, she reluctantly turned off the call, and found the lady's WeChat, typed a few words on it, and within a while, she got a reply.

It reads: Xinyan is in the country.

I was a little anxious, and calmly thought about where she would go, had she already left the city.

On the way back, I called Du Chenyu, the first phone call we made since the relationship between the two of us was strained.

"Hey."

His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he was a little tired and tired.

I cleared my throat and whispered, "Brother Du, do you know where Xinyan went?" ”

Du Chenyu didn't speak immediately, as if he was brewing emotions, and after a while, he said coldly: "You should know better than me where you went." ”

I frowned, not understanding the meaning of his words, and continued to ask, "What do you mean?" ”

"Now that we've parted ways, do you need to know her whereabouts?"

He was like he had eaten gunpowder, and his words were full of sarcasm.

I took a long breath and said lightly: "Xinyan's car is with me, and I can't contact her, so let's put it with you for temporary storage." ”

There was another long silence, and then, he said casually: "You keep it for yourself, Xinyan won't care about the value of a car with you, and have the clothes in the warehouse been shipped away?" ”

"Well, I've moved away."

"Good luck then."

After hanging up the phone, I grinned and smirked, and suddenly had a kind of stunned feeling, the ancients said, there is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal. It's really a good word on the cake, and it has the effect of purifying the soul.

I came to Boss Feng's company, and after parking the car downstairs, I walked into the hall on the first floor, and the sofa was crowded with young people in twos and threes, holding their graduation certificates and job application forms, ready to conduct interviews.

I walked to the front desk and saw that the reception staff had been replaced, replaced by a twenty-four-five-year-old girl, she was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a kind smile, and when she saw me looking back and forth, she smiled and asked, "Sir, are you here for an interview?" ”

I smiled back politely and asked, "Is Chairman Feng here?" ”

"I'm sorry, our chairman went abroad for a vacation, and he will be back in a few days."

She still maintained a sweet smile, I pursed my dry lips, looked at her and said, "Then you are Mr. Zhou?" ”

"He's here, but he's very busy right now, there are a lot of graduates who need written exams and interviews, and it's probably already busy, if you don't mind, you can sit there and wait for a while."

She gestured to the couch behind me.

"Okay, thanks."

I sat on the sofa and saw two young people next to me muttering softly: "Hey, I heard that their company has a good welfare package, but the interview pass rate is very low." ”

Another chubby young man said, "What's so difficult about this, just walk around." ”

"Do you have a relationship?"

The slightly fat young man crossed Erlang's legs, revealing a sinister and treacherous look, he glanced at me, and saw that I didn't look like a job seeker, so he was much more relaxed, he looked at the young man, and whispered: "Do you know who the assistant to the chairman of this company is?" ”

"Who?"

The young man looked at him with a confused expression.

The chubby young man glared at him, sighed and said, "It's Zhou Ziran, you just have to give it to him..."

He made a gesture to count the money, and another young man instantly understood, he patted his head and said: "Yes, I'm worried about this, I heard that the people who came to apply for the job this time are all masters, and there are many graduate degrees, and I can't look down on ordinary undergraduates." ”

The chubby young man snorted, looked at him and said, "So you have to find a way to move the relationship, and you don't have to worry about it after you join the company." ”

The two graduates muttered one by one, I was a little annoyed when I listened, took out my mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Ziran, which wrote: Brother Zhou, I am on the first floor of your company, do you have time to come over and chat?

After waiting for a moment, he replied: Wait, I'm a little busy.

The hall on the first floor is close to the southwest corner, there is a large living room, on the glass door of the living room, there is a do not disturb sign, job seekers go in and out, you can see the scene in the hall, a wide conference table, sitting five leaders in suits and leather shoes, with serious faces, they are conducting interviews, Zhou Ziran sat next to the leader, looking at the resumes of job seekers, frowning from time to time, and looking a little cold.

I sighed secretly in my heart, Boss Feng's company is really magnificent, which requires a lot of hard work and suffering, and I should also take him as a flaunt, start from little by little, learn to talk and laugh in the circle of businessmen, and take the initiative to approach those who succeed, they will change their mentality imperceptibly.

Towards the evening, there were not many job seekers left in the hall, some walked out of the company with frustrated faces, some were happy and smiling, and some sat on the sofa, ready to wait for the opportunity to move and activate the relationship.

Zhou Ziran walked over with a tired face, he lit a cigarette and said, "Why did you lose weight?" How are the clothes selling? ”

I sat upright and looked at him and said, "The clothes haven't been sold yet, the renovation work of the store has stopped, and I came today to ask you for help." ”

"How can you help?"

He squinted at me and took a soft puff on his cigarette.

I laughed dryly twice, and said lightly: "I don't hide it, I don't have much liquidity now, I'm very poor, I wanted to open a store last time, but something went wrong in the middle, and I couldn't do anything in re-arranging a storefront, so I wanted to find you to help me sell this batch of clothing, of course, I won't give you less profits in the middle." ”

"Sales?"

Zhou Ziran took a puff of cigarette and leaned forward, seemingly interested in the proposal.

I nodded seriously and continued: "You make a big head, I make a small head, your company is strong and has abundant funds, my inventory is just the tip of the iceberg, your channels are broad, it shouldn't be difficult to sell these trendy fashions." ”

Zhou Ziran took a cigarette, unbuttoned a few buttons of his suit, loosened his tie and said, "The proposal is good, but I can't make decisions on this matter, and I have to wait for the chairman to come back to make a decision." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, looked at him and said, "Then I need my brother to help me say a few more good words in front of Boss Feng." ”

After speaking, I handed him the paper bag next to me, which contained the 100,000 yuan I had newly withdrawn from the bank, and two bottles of red wine were pressed on it.

"Hey, why are you so polite, it's just a word, you go back and wait for my news, the chairman has returned to China in recent days, and this matter is not difficult to promote."

Zhou Ziran took the paper bag and stuffed it behind him without looking at it.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

I slowly stood up and held out a hand with a faint smile.

Zhou Ziran held my hand tightly and said excitedly: "Don't worry, brother, the phone stays open, I wish you a lot of money." ”

I nodded with satisfaction, walked out of the company, a clear stream drilled into my nostrils, so that I felt a sense of relief, I stretched my waist, got into the car, the road traffic was sparse, the track was inaccessible, I started the car, and left.
