Walking back to the hotel from the broken bridge, we had a buffet lunch in the restaurant in the hotel, and President Zhou asked me how Fei Dabao and I felt, and Fei Dabao said, "Well, yes, at least it can exercise people's will." "President Zhou said happily, it's great that you can think like this. Fei Dabao said yes, he was scolded by so many people he didn't know, and he couldn't fight back, and he had to smile, how much endurance he had.

President Zhou's expression suddenly froze, his face was very long, and he said: "Many people are obsessed with the world and don't know the benefits of believing in Buddhism at all. As long as one of those people just now began to believe in the Buddha and chant sutras, our scolding was not in vain, and it was also a merit to be scolded. ”

I thought to myself, then being a dealer is also equivalent to practicing, because we are often scolded by customers.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the team went to the direction of Yuewang Temple on the north side of the West Lake, and found a spacious place very close to the river bank. At this time, I saw that there were still more than 100 people waiting here, sitting or standing, chatting very happily, and there were twenty or thirty cars parked around.

According to President Zhou, these are all good men and women from all over the country who gathered in Hangzhou. Seeing her coming, more than 100 people gathered around, and President Zhou used an electric horn to command everyone in an orderly manner. These people opened the trunk of the car and took out a lot of special large travel bags, needless to say, all of them were animals to be released.

There is a special person responsible for grouping everyone, basically a group of three or five people, assigned to a large travel bag, Fei Dabao and I received special treatment, and President Zhou was assigned to a group. These dozens of groups of people opened the battle line and occupied the river bank line several hundred meters long, attracting many people to stop and watch.

Fei Dabao and I opened the travel bag, and there were a lot of fish in it, which looked like carp and grass carp, etc., and they were not small. Under President Zhou's command, we poured all the fish into the lake and watched the fish swim happily, which I thought was a good deed. Among those who were released, there were old and young, some held Buddhist beads, chanted sutras on the lake, and some old people held lit Buddha incense, kept bending down to give salutes, looking very pious, and the two people kept taking pictures and videos with cameras and DVs.

A middle-aged man next to him came over and asked, "Are you releasing animals?" Listening to the accent like a native of Hangzhou, Fei Dabao proudly said yes, and the middle-aged man said, "Do you know what kind of fish you put in it?" ”

Fei Dabao said that he didn't know, it was a fish, what kind of fish were there, as long as the fish had water. The middle-aged man said: "This is a fish in a fish pond, it is artificially farmed, and it cannot live at all in the natural lake." You're adding to the mess, these fish will soon die, sink to the bottom of the lake and rot slowly, and pollute the water. ”

"If you can't understand it, please don't slander it, okay?" President Zhou was furious, and the two men involved glared at the middle-aged man, who walked away in a gloomy manner.

After releasing the fish, Fei Dabao and I went to see others and found that there were turtles, loaches and goldfish. I don't know much about biology, but I also have a vague feeling that it doesn't seem appropriate to put so many animals in the West Lake. Fei Dabao pointed to one place and said, "Brother Tian, I know that turtle!" "Go over and look, good fellows, each of them has a big turtle in their hands, the back of which is like a small round table, full of spikes, and the head of the turtle is very long, like an eagle and pointed, and it cannot be retracted into its shell, and its mouth is wide open, and its mouth is full of fangs. The four large paws resemble the paws of a puppy bear, which looks scary.

I asked, "Is this a turtle or a monster?" My mom. Fei Dabao said that this is called a snapping turtle, it seems to be a breed from the United States, he has a friend's house in Suzhou, there is a big pool in the backyard, there are two in it, this turtle is very fierce, eat everything, eat all the fish in the pool, his dog went to swim in the pool in the summer, and was bitten to death by two snapping turtles.

Hearing this, I felt chills, and hurriedly asked President Zhou. She smiled and said: "No matter how fierce it is, it's just a turtle, not a tiger, we come to the West Lake every year to release this kind of turtle, have you heard that the West Lake vinegar fish in the building outside the building is out of stock?" ”

Fei Dabao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by President Zhou, saying that we still have to go to the woods in the service area to release the animals again, you should hurry up and help others. We had to go over slowly, help this and see that, but we were reluctant.

The task by the West Lake was completed, and more than 100 of us sat in the twenty or thirty cars, like a wedding convoy, and drove north one after another. After crossing the national highway to Dongming Mountain, everyone seemed to be familiar with the route and drove all the way to the mountain. The environment is very good, the tour should be good, everyone parked the car, and took out five or six large travel bags from the trunk, President Zhou shouted with a loudspeaker: "Don't participate if you are timid and afraid of snakes, and the rest will come over." ”

When it comes to snakes, I still have some resistance, although I am also a snake myself, but because it is rare to see in the Northeast, I have not seen many snakes. I stood from afar and watched, as the men opened the mouth of the bag and shook the bottom of the bag, and a large mass of snakes of all colors fell or crawled out, wriggling back and forth on the ground.

These snakes are gray and black, red and black and white. I saw that my scalp was numb, President Zhou came over, smiled and asked if we were afraid, Fei Dabao said: "I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, what snake haven't I seen?" The green one is called Zhu Yeqing, and the tail like a file is a rattlesnake, all of them are poisonous snakes! Isn't this a deep mountain and old forest, where poisonous snakes are released in the suburbs? ”

President Zhou seemed to be afraid of being heard, looked around, and said calmly: "Poisonous snakes don't necessarily bite people, they have mice, sparrows, or something that can be eaten." Besides, in ancient times, the woods and wild areas were full of poisonous snakes, and everyone was not used to it. "I don't think that makes sense, but President Zhou has already gone to instruct others to release snakes.

Seeing these people busy, Fei Dabao and I walked to the car to rest, and he whispered: "Brother Tian, why do you think that the good deeds done by these people are a little awkward?" ”

"It's awkward," I said, unscrewing a bottle of mineral water to drink, "I think it's just extreme." Blocking the road and reciting Buddhist scriptures, releasing a large snapping turtle in the lake, and throwing poisonous snakes into the woods, what is this called! ”

Fei Dabao said: "I think this President Zhou is either a foolish person or has ulterior motives. "I said that stupidity is easy to explain, what can I do? Fei Dabao said to do it for others to see, if you don't do this, where will anyone invest. For example, in this event, from discounted air tickets to the purchase of released animals, to hotel accommodation, the little money that everyone gave was not enough at all, and someone must have made a donation.

I asked, "What's the point of doing that?" Fei Dabao said with a smile, just like the company's annual output value, only the larger the output value, can you prove that you have the ability to do this kind of event, and it can also allow investors to continue to invest money.

We stayed in Hangzhou for one night, and the next morning we dispersed, and President Chow and the 50 or so people flew back to Hong Kong. President Zhou was very happy and arranged for someone to immediately sort out the information and send it to her as soon as possible. On the way back from the car, President Zhou asked us how we felt about the trip, and I said that it was very good, and that we had gained knowledge and accumulated merit. Fei Dabao asked: "President Zhou, how much money is there for this release operation?" ”

President Zhou, who was sitting in the front row, looked sideways at him and said, "130,000 Hong Kong dollars, what?" Fei Dabao smiled and said that President Zhou is really good, and he can get all kinds of donations.

"There are many great benevolent people in Hong Kong," replied President Zhou, "they have money, status, and status, but they often use money to donate money to do good deeds, and what we XX Charity Association has to do is to help them use these donations." Fei Dabao wanted to say something, but I gently slapped him on the thigh and signaled not to ask again.

Back at the hotel, Fei Dabao sorted out the package, and I told me that when communicating with customers in the future, even if I suspect that there is something wrong with the other party, as long as it does not affect the cooperation, don't ask more. Fei Dabao said: "Okay, I just didn't feel comfortable seeing that President Zhou. I smiled and said that giving money is comfortable, and it doesn't matter what she does.

In the evening, Fei Dabao and I went out for supper, and when we were drinking, I called Lao Xie and asked about the progress of the 500 peace charms. Lao Xie's panting voice came from the microphone: "Tian, Brother Tian, don't disturb me, I'm working overtime." ”
