Chapter Twenty-Three: Losing the Bicycle and Picking Up the Dog
"Phoenix" wants to change owners?
Absolutely no!
Xiao Ran will never allow such a thing, no matter how bad he is, no matter how depressed he is, he will not be able to turn a bicycle to dislike him.
He had to find it, it was his grandfather's favorite antique, and if it ran away, his father would tear him in half like a ghost!
"Boy, stop me, don't run!"
Xiao Ran stepped out of his slender legs and chased wildly towards the young boy riding the Phoenix card!
The new bicycle owner, seeing the old owner frantically chasing, whistled defiantly, picked up speed and fled from the hospital.
Xiao Ran chased for about two kilometers, tired and out of breath, and always failed to catch up with the thief in front.
There is no way, no matter how broken the "Phoenix card" is, it is better than the best 11 roads.
The thief who was 100 meters away from him, equally tired and panting, raised his middle finger at him and yelled at him, "Didn't Lao Tzu just steal a bicycle from you, do you want to be so desperate?" ”
The distance limited Xiao Ran's hearing, he didn't know what the other party was reading, he only knew that it was definitely not a civilized word.
He raised his middle finger at him, "If Lao Tzu catches you, he has to break your legs!" ”
After a two-minute break, the wind continued to blow and he continued to chase!
Xiao Ran chased him for three streets and four alleys, all the way to the vegetable market in the south of the city, and the two of them had a second round of rest.
The other party lit a cigarette and raised his middle finger at Xiao Ran, "You are so fucking patient, you have the ability to chase it again!" ”
Xiao Ran, who was standing at the door of the old building of the supply and marketing cooperative, saw that the other party was smoking, and he also became addicted to smoking, and instinctively touched the inner pocket of the old suit.
The hand was halfway stretched out and retracted! He suddenly remembered that the pack of Sunshine Liqun had been smoked!
Lao Tzu didn't smoke, and he didn't let you, a thief, smoke.
Xiao Ran glared at the thief in front of him and sneered, then pulled out his legs to chase after him!
The thief saw that the sufferer was in pursuit, threw away the cigarette he had not smoked, and continued to run on his bicycle.
While running, Xiao Ran's old feature phone rang with the song "You are the wind, I am the sand", and Xiao Ran picked up the phone while running, "Hey! Speak! ”
"Your brain burned out? Dare to talk to me in such a tone! ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Ke! I'm sorry, leader, I'm catching thieves in the south of the city! ”
"Xiao Ran, there is a conflict coordination meeting of the community business committee at twelve o'clock today, come and participate, and make a meeting minutes!"
"Isn't Xiong Weiguang on duty today, am I taking turns off? Why me again?! ”
"In the unit, you have the best writing, if you don't write, who writes! Come here! It's good to take a turn off another day, but if you can't take a turn off, I'll give you a raise! ”
"Leader, can you please don't paint a big pie for me, I'm catching a thief!"
"You're not a policeman, what kind of thief are you catching!"
"The bike that the thief stole is mine!"
"I don't care, the superior leaders of this coordination meeting attach great importance to it, and you must personally write the meeting minutes, and I have to submit them to the superior leaders after review! Also, I'll be there at this meeting, so hurry up! ”
"Hey... Leadership! ”
Xiao Ran wanted to explain, but the other party hung up the phone in a hurry!
"! Meetings every day, there is a fart, and I don't do business, it's all formalism! Surnamed Zhao, don't think I don't know, since Lao Tzu left alone on the night of your birthday at the "Drunk Life Dream Death" bar, you have been holding a fucking grudge all day long and wearing me little shoes! ”
Xiao Ran scolded angrily and wanted to continue chasing, but found that the thief who deprived him of the right to use his bicycle without authorization had already disappeared under his nose!
"Grandson, if it weren't for Zhao Ke, a short and fat man, who distracted me, Lao Tzu would definitely be able to catch you! There is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, let's see, Lao Tzu remembers your obscene face. ”
Xiao Ran raised his middle finger and roared angrily in the direction where the thief was heading.
The bike is gone, and I will definitely be scolded by my father when I go back!
Xiao Ran put his hands on his waist and looked at the bustling crowd near the vegetable market, upset.
He wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes to relieve his grief and depression, but when he dug out his wallet, he remembered that he was impulsive in the hospital and handed over all 1,000 yuan to the woman named Yuan Huanhuan.
Emptying all the pockets of his clothes and pants, he barely managed to find a five-yuan bill!
What can you do with five dollars?!
The cost of taking a taxi from this vegetable market in the south of the city to the unit in the north of the city is not enough, let alone buying a bag of Sunshine Liqun.
For him, no money is a small thing, but no cigarette is a big thing.
What a bad day today!
Xiao Ran put his hands on his waist and scolded angrily.
An old begging man passed by him, Xiao Ran asked him for a cigarette, borrowed a fire by the way, and at the moment of igniting the "seven wolves", he quietly put the remaining five yuan into the iron bowl of the begging old man.
The bell of "You are the wind and I am the sand" rang again, Xiao Ran frowned and picked up the phone, "Hey, Zhao Ke, I haven't yet..."
"You go to the copyroom on the fourth floor and bring the sign-in sheet and meeting minutes, and then put ......"
Before Zhao Ke's voice fell, Xiao Ran had already hung up the phone, not because he thought the leader was verbose, but because--
A green Sonata taxi came at a high speed, almost crushing a white Samoyed dog in the blind spot of his brother's vision, and like an arrow off the string, it flashed over and stopped the taxi.
After Sonata squeaked and braked, the driver poked his head out and scolded Xiao Ran angrily, "Dude, are you looking for death or touching porcelain?" Hurry up and get back! ”
"You almost hit the dog... By the way, brother, how much does it cost to go to the north street of the city? ”
"I'm sorry, someone made an appointment with a mobile phone, and I won't pick up customers this time!"
"You're refusing to board, I'm going to report you! Ouch, I'm going-"
Xiao Ran was arguing with his brother, and suddenly felt a strange itch in his thighs, and when he glanced down, he found that the Samoyed dog had quietly climbed on top of him, playing with his pockets with his front paws!
"Dude, what are you doing here, I don't have any money in my pocket!"
Xiao Ran roared at the Samoyed and kicked his right foot, trying to scare it away.
After all, he is not a dog lover, and although he saved it, it does not mean that he loves it.
The moment he drove away the Satsuma dog, the green Sonata throttle thumped and left.
"Hey, wait, can you wait for me to finish reporting before leaving!"
Xiao Ran turned around, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted loudly at the suddenly departing Sonata!
Of course, the only thing that responded to him was the pungent exhaust left by the taxi.
……
One kilometer to the left of the Chengnan Vegetable Market, is the commercial center of Gulou Pedestrian Street, and the "666" bar is located on the west side of the Gulou City Gate, two hundred meters away from the main road.
An elegant young woman in a houndstooth dress walked out of the bar with an LV bag.
A man's voice came from behind her, "Miss Liang, you drank a little too much, do you want me to send you?" ”
Liang Yuwei didn't need to look back, and knew that this deep voice was Hu Weidong, the manager of the bar.
"No need", Liang Yuwei asked Hu Weidong for a cigarette, "Xiaohu, I brought more than 40 classmates to support you today, it's interesting enough!" ”
Manager Hu lit a cigarette for her, "Thank you Miss Liang for your care, you are not only beautiful, but also have a bold personality, and you are also a heroine among women." My admiration for you is like a towering green mountain, eternal and eternal, and my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless! ”
"Okay, I'm just bringing you some business, do you want to be so sycophant?! Actually, you don't need to praise me so much, since I regard you as a friend, I will definitely do my duty as a friend. ”
"Miss Liang, in our business, if your mouth is not sweet, how can you attract customers and earn commissions!"
"That's right! Maybe people in the rivers and lakes really can't help themselves. By the way, I quarreled with Xiong Weiguang last time, thank you for being on my side! Did Xiong Weiguang trouble you later? ”
Hu Weidong was about to answer, but Luo Wei walked out of the bar and interrupted their conversation, "Yu Wei, I said I would check out, why did you rob me!" ”
"Miss Liang, I'll go first! What's the matter, get in touch again! ”
Hu Weidong knew that Luo Wei had never been willing to see him, and when he saw that his eyes were unhappy and drunk, he decided to avoid him, so as not to have an argument with him.
Liang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Hmm! ”
Luo Wei stopped Hu Weidong, "Manager Hu, stop!" How much money did Liang Yu spend on this class reunion just now? Thirty thousand or fifty thousand? You give it back to her, Lao Tzu gives it to you! ”
"Mr. Luo, you've drunk too much..."
Hu Weidong smiled at Luo Wei.
"I didn't drink much, tell me, how much did she pay?"
"Luo Wei, what are you doing? Don't bully Manager Hu! ”
Liang Yu glared at Luo Wei slightly angrily, gave Manager Hu another look, and motioned for him to leave.
"A good one is not allowed to bully Manager Hu?! Yuwei, I grew up with you, isn't this relationship as good as a foreigner you know temporarily? Let's finally organize a class reunion, you don't go to such a luxurious hotel as "drunk and dreaming of death", do you have to come to this tattered "666" consumption, is it to earn him a commission? What is your relationship with him? ”
Luo Wei glared at Hu Weidong angrily and questioned Liang Yuwei.
"What's wrong with the outlanders? What do I have to do with him, and what does it matter to you? What about earning him a commission? Don't discriminate! You've drunk too much! ”
Liang Yu scolded Luo Wei slightly.
"Mr. Luo, Miss Liang, don't quarrel with the relationship between the two of you for so many years!"
Hu Weidong persuaded the two who were quarreling.
"Shut up..."Luo Wei glared at Hu Weidong angrily, and turned his drunken face to Liang Yuwei, "I didn't drink much, Weiwei, why did you reject me just now?" ”
"You say... I didn't want to participate in the class reunion, but you dragged me in... It's okay if you come, why did you confess to me? What medicine did you take wrong? In front of so many classmates, how can you let me step down?! ”
Vindicate?
A romantic word drifted into the ears of Hu Weidong next to him during the quarrel between the two, and he looked up at the burly Luo Wei and shook his head silently.
"What do you see? What head to shake? Yokel! ”
Luo Wei turned his head and glared at Hu Weidong, and lowered his voice slightly at Liang Yu, "Weiwei, I'm sorry, I drank too much, I really love you!" ”
"Don't talk about useless things! Luo Wei, do you think that if you are 1.85 meters tall, you can bully people everywhere? You apologize to Xiaohu! From today, I will ignore you for three months! Okay, that's it, I'm going to the airport to pick up African customers! I still have business to talk about! ”
Liang Yuwei carried his bag and hurriedly got into a green Sonata taxi with a reservation number!
……
"Hey... Boss, do you know whose dog it is? ”
Xiao Ran pointed to the Samoyed dog and asked the young owner of the "Ye Hui Non-staple Food Store".
During the ten minutes he was looking for a taxi, he found that the dog had taken the wrong medicine, and followed him like glue, and it followed him wherever he went! As if he were his master.
"I don't know! Dude, I see that this dog stole from the Drum Tower, there are some outsiders near this vegetable market now, and it is too late to make money to pay the rent, who has the heart to raise this thing? If no one pays attention, you can take it! ”
The young boss glanced at Xiao Ran, and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
"Got it, boss, can you give a cigarette to smoke, Lao Tzu has been blackmailed for doing good deeds, and he is temporarily short of money!"
Xiao Ran knocked on the counter and spoke to the boss in a consultative tone.
The young boss glared at him and gave him half a pack of soft China in his pocket, "Brother, I see that you are disheveled and decadent, you must be emotionally frustrated or a career failure, you can take this cigarette and smoke it!" ”
"Thank you, brother, the grace of dripping water, I will definitely repay him with a spring of water!"
Xiao Ran took a cigarette in his mouth, lit a fire, swallowed the clouds and saluted the young boss, and kicked the Samoyed dog under his feet!
For it, he wasted another fifteen minutes looking for a taxi.
