Wei Ran and I sat in Sha Fa, and Wei Haotian sat opposite us, with a kind smile on his face, but from time to time he would cough and wheeze, as if he was not in good health.

"Mr. Wei is a successful person, I don't know anything about business, I only know how to make clothes." I say.

"You can't learn if you don't know how to do business, and no one is born with it. No matter how some people teach, he doesn't care, then there is no cure. When he said this, he looked at Wei Ran sternly.

Wei Ran said embarrassedly: "Dad, don't hurt me in front of my friends, save me some face." ”

"Do you still want face? If Wu Lu hadn't pursued you for setting the fire, you would have been squatting in prison. After Wei Haotian finished speaking, he coughed again.

Wei Ran defended: "I didn't do it, it's all the dead Jiang Zhendong, and he hurt me." ”

Wei Haotian frowned and said, "Is there really a ghost in this world?" ”

"Just because we can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Of course, as long as there are no ghosts in your heart, there is nothing to be afraid of. I said.

Wei Haotian laughed, his laughter stopped abruptly, and a trace of worry flashed on his face: "I've had this cough for a long time, I've been to many hospitals, but I can't see it well, some people say that I got into trouble, and I laughed it off." ”

To be honest, I did feel a chill when I walked into this office. At the time, I thought I had just come in from outside, and my body didn't adjust to the room temperature, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

I glanced around the office and saw a picture frame in front of my desk, in which was Wei Haotian and a woman with a boy, which was supposed to be his family photo.

In the photo, Wei Haotian still looks very young, the woman is standing next to him, and the little boy is standing in the middle of the two people in a daze, his eyes are blank.

"Wei Ran, you look very different from when you were a child." I said in passing, I thought it was nothing, people's appearance always changes with age.

However, this sentence seemed to touch the nerves of the Wei family's father and son, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, Wei Haotian did not speak, and Wei Ran shook his head.

"The boy in the photo is not me, but my half-brother." Wei Ran said.

"Huh? I see, I'm sorry. "I realized I had said the wrong thing.

Wei Haotian coughed twice more and led the topic to the tailor shop: "I heard that you make clothes for others, only women's clothes, and you also have to ask other people's birthdays, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "That's right, it's a rule passed down from my ancestors. ”

Wei Haotian frowned and said, "Why are there such strange rules, what does wearing clothes have to do with the eight characters of birth?" ”

"Grandpa told me that there is a certain amount of food to eat, the road to walk, and the clothes to wear in this life. Other people's clothes may not have any effect, but the clothes made by our Wu family, people who match the eight characters wear them, are healthy and energetic; People who don't fit in the eight characters wear it, and they are mentally sluggish, riddled with diseases, and even have a bloody disaster. I said.

Wei Haotian was skeptical, but Wei Ran said on the side: "This is true, Xiaotong had a heart attack before, was in a coma in the hospital for a few days, and after putting on Wu Lu's cheongsam, he woke up the next day, and now there is nothing wrong at all." ”

"How can such an amazing thing happen?" After hearing this, Wei Haotian said with pity: "It's a pity that you only make women's clothes, otherwise you can make me one, maybe my cough will be cured." ”

"Dad, your old problem is still because of that incident back then......" Wei Ran finished speaking, and stopped talking.

Wei Haotian didn't want to mention it, so he raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the past." Wu Lu, you have so many rules for making clothes, if you want to be bigger, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

I sighed and said, "Yes, every piece of clothing must be extremely careful, not to mention that this kind of craft is only passed down in our Wu family, and it is indeed difficult to promote it." ”

"It's not easy to scale anything that can't be standardized. Why can McDonald's and KFC be opened all over the world, but we can't eat Chinese? Because Chinese food is difficult to standardize, the taste made by each chef is different, and the taste made by the same chef at different times is also different, do you know what I mean? Wei Haotian said.

"Are you trying to get me to change this tradition?" I asked him.

Wei Haotian smiled and said, "Human life is a matter of heaven, and you can only make your own decisions. If you don't want to be big, you can just want to be fine. I introduce you to customers, build up word of mouth, and then advertise, so that more money can take care of your business, and the profit you make from selling one piece of clothing is more than that of others selling ten pieces of clothing, what do you think? ”

I didn't expect Wei Haotian to give me so much pertinent advice, and I couldn't help but be grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Wei." ”

"Hey, just call me Uncle Wei, if you have anything in the future, just come to me. Ahem...... "Wei Haotian's cough is even more serious.

After leaving the Wei Group, I asked Wei Ran in private: "What is Uncle Wei's disease?" ”

Wei Ran sighed and said: "Some hospitals say that it is chronic bronchitis, and some say that it is tuberculosis, but they can't be cured." ”

"Can't you cure it with the right medicine? Could it be that this disease is really not ordinary? I muttered.

"He's been suffering from this disease since his former wife and children died." Wei Ran said.

However, at night I was about to go to bed when a familiar voice told me, "Wu Lu, you have encountered something unclean. ”

I turned my head to see that my wife was already standing there. I smiled and asked, "Unclean things?" How could it be, I didn't go to an unclean place all day. ”

"That's something you don't know." I said.

"I went to the Wei Group and met Wei Haotian, you shouldn't say that Wei Haotian has a problem, right?" I asked her.

The woman closed her eyes slightly: "Did you see a photo?" ”

"yes."

The woman opened her eyes: "That photo, no, it should be said that it is the frame." ”

I remembered the quaint picture frame, which I didn't pay attention to at the time, and now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be anything special.

"The picture frame is very ordinary, I don't think it's strange." I say.

She looked behind me, and her tone suddenly lowered: "Turn your face and see, what's on the wall." ”

I shifted my gaze to the wall, the moonlight shining through the window, and through the moonlight, I saw a photograph hanging on the wall, with three people: Wei Haotian, a woman and a little boy.

It was the photo on Wei Haotian's desk, the photo was black and white, and the woman and boy both had weird smiles on their faces, and they looked like a posthumous portrait!
