Zuo Yunshan thought, if he told Ye Gang that he was going to have a beauty room soon, what would his expression be? Now Ye Gang wants to buy a room as a studio in an apartment near the city center through his own efforts, I am afraid it will take four or five years. No, I'm afraid that before I bought a house, Ye Gang encountered a setback. Zuo Yunshan thought, Ye Gang wanted to use his own money to buy a house, but I easily achieved my goal with other people's money. Whether you use women or use them as ladders, it's a shortcut to climb up. Zuo Yunshan felt that although he had a guilty conscience, this was the way of the world now. If you look at these things with a sense of guilt, then you will be depressed. There are some people in society who have a lot of money, but their means are despicable, and if they are sad, they will not be able to live.

To put it bluntly, those friends or acquaintances who transferred the business to Ye Gang wanted to show him "goodwill", but if they really sympathized with Ye Gang's situation, they should not make a profit from the painting fee, but should hand over all the money paid by the client to Ye Gang; The transferred business should not be all piecemeal work, but should be better, and take the initiative to introduce Ye Gang to the client and arrange for them to negotiate directly.

They didn't do that because "well-meaning friends" were afraid that others would take away their customers and squeeze their own market. It is exploitation to take advantage of it, and to give him only some bits and pieces of worthless work is to protect himself from business.

For Ye Gang, the reason why he lamented the present was because he wanted to get things that were impossible and lamented things that should not be lamented. He was too naïve to see reality. In a word, he was unlucky. But I'm always on the move. Compared with Ye Gang, I don't feel ashamed of him. Because, in the future, Ye Gang may also hand over the same good luck, maybe tomorrow, and the situation of the two may be reversed at some point.

Zuo Yunshan thought a lot.

Consciousness is often a present being. If Ye Gang was not a neighbor and lived somewhere else, he would not compare his luck with his adversity. It's better not to know anything, and once you know, you will have boring thoughts about those in your heart. Even if you don't know it, what objectively exists still exists.

Zuo Yunshan remembered the metaphor he had seen in a book. There was a man in Russia who gave Tolstoy and Dostoevsky a sum of money, asking them to give it to the people they considered the poorest, and Dostoevsky handed over the money, while Tolstoy brought it back intact. When asked later, Dostoevsky said that he had given the money to the poorest man he had ever met; Tolstoy replied that there were too many poor people to hand it over. This metaphor is used to illustrate the difference between realism and idealism. Here the poor can also be replaced by the unfortunate. Seeing an unfortunate presence nearby, Dostoevsky's realistic humanitarianism often makes people feel sad, as if even they have become destitute.

Zuo Yunshan thought that he must remove all the sadness that seemed to be shattered from the bottom of his heart. This has been the case in the past, and it must be so in the future!

"Ah, Zuo Yunshan." Ye Gang smiled on his face, but his expression was slightly different from just now, "I thought about it for a while. As I said earlier, I want to negotiate directly with the right client, but I don't have this opportunity, and the ideal place is controlled by people, and I want to find a suitable introducer. ”

Then he looked embarrassed and said:

“…… I heard that the customers who went to the Qiwen beauty salon where you worked were all wives and ladies from upper-class families, and whose husbands among those people must be the company manager or company dignitaries of the company, at least senior staff at the level of department and section chief? ”

"Well, what? I don't know much about the client's husband, so I haven't specifically inquired about it. Zuo Yunshan replied. He had already guessed what Ye Gang was going to say.

"Well, that's fine, you don't care much about that." Ye Gang echoed casually, and then said tactfully, "If those people's wives are familiar with you and come to you for beauty, can you please mention my matter by the way, and let me do the work of pattern design in the company."

"I said you, mentioning these things will cause trouble for Mr. Zuo." He Zhi interrupted her husband's words, but the look in her eyes was weak.

"Well, I'm aware of the trouble, but I just wanted you to tell me about it without causing you a bad influence, okay?" Ye Gang was entangled.

"Oh, it's okay to talk about it, it's better not to be my own."

"Oh, is it? Can you say? ”

Ye Gang's eyes were shining, and He Zhi's mouth couldn't close.

"Thank you for helping me talk about that. Of course, I don't want to put a mental burden on you, don't force it, although this is my hope, but I don't expect too much, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's okay now. ”

"Mr. Zuo, my husband is begging for your help, I'm causing you trouble." He Zhi bowed his head in thanks.

"I'm also very happy to be able to help."

"Everything you do in society depends on relationships!"

Ye Gang wiped his fingers with tonkatsu grease with a towel.

He Zhi never asked Zuo Yunshan to do his hairstyle, but always went to a cheap beauty salon nearby. She is inconvenient to speak; And Zuo Yunshan didn't say that he would help her do it in his spare time, which was due to Ye Gang. In his dealings with the couple, he was careful not to go beyond the confines of his neighbors.

Zuo Yunshan returned to the house and slept until it was a little past the bed.

There was a sound of pumping into the tires of a bicycle in the adjacent room, and because it was a low-cost apartment, the sound came through the floor. He Zhi is helping her husband to press air into the small jar of the spray colorizer with his hands. They can't afford an electric one and still use this old-fashioned color brusher. Ye Gang seems to be coloring the poster with a colorizer on the mountain full of autumn leaves.

That work probably won't win the prize.

Qi Wen, the owner of Qi Wen's beauty salon, lives near the beauty salon.

There were six employees in the store, and two people in each room in the apartment at the back; Including trainees, there are a total of eight people working.

Qi Wen's private house was built five years ago, and although the area is not large, the quality is very good. At that time, it was the prosperous period of Qiwen's beauty salon.

Zuo Yunshan walked through the tea room. Qi Wen's wife, Liu Meizheng, was wearing glasses and was calculating bank deposit books and securities, and when she saw Zuo Yunshan, she hurriedly put the account book on it and covered it.

'Good morning!' ”

"Good morning! Yo, you don't seem to have a good night's sleep, do you? ”

"Really?"

"I slept late last night."

"No, I went back before 11 o'clock, met an acquaintance near home, and was dragged to a bar for two drinks."

"Don't you don't drink much?"
