Chapter 22: Different Destinies
Summer is not a good season.
Although night falls and the occasional evening breeze blows, it still bravies the heat wave that makes people suffer from heat stroke.
On the Yongxiang Bridge, there are flowers.
Wandering singers shouting and selling popsicles, hoarse and eager for attention, small vendors playing with children's gadgets to greet pedestrians, pedestrians walking back and forth.
Looking from afar, although it is not as magnificent as the Qingming Shanghe map, it is also a sentient being. There is a boiling atmosphere, but it carries the sorrows, joys and sorrows of different people.
"Under the overpass before the early morning, it is not allowed to lie down, and even quilts, luggage and other things can not be placed...... under the overpass after the early morning, when the figure gradually disperses, there is a group of people who come to grab a place to lie down."
"Is it a tramp? Unexpectedly, in this era, there are still homeless people......"
"Many people, like you, think that it is the homeless people who lie under the overpass for the night, but in fact, they are ordinary people who are tortured and bruised by the city......"
"Huh?"
"Some are small employees in suits and leather shoes, in order to save a little bit of rent, some are from other places to work, and they can save a little, and some are black households who have been deceived of their ID cards......"
"Really?"
"I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that there are also these people in Yanjing, a prosperous and quaint historical city, right?"
"I didn't know ...... before"
"It's normal, what you can see, only what you can see, as a writer, we must have to meet the romantic fantasy of young people, of course, we must also bow our heads and look at some of the worlds that we have not seen before, so that the things written in this way can be infectious, or in other words, there will be a soul......"
“……”
Lin Xia sat on the big stone by the river, looking at the brightly lit bridge in the distance, and listening to Zhang Sheng say something that he didn't know if it was true or false.
She looked at Zhang Sheng unconsciously.
This is a very strange person.
Next year will be about the same age as himself, but there is a sense of maturity that does not fit the age group.
Obviously, in the last second, he was still telling about his tragic life experience, suffocating like a reptile in the dark, which made people can't help but burst into tears, but the next second he will instantly show an extremely bright smile, no matter how carefully he observes, he can't find any ingredients for camouflage performance, he only feels that his smile is full of contagion, and at the same time full of convincing power.
Lin Xia once questioned whether there were two souls hidden in his body.
"Zhang Sheng, you said so much, then, do you have a dream?"
Lin Xia listened to Zhang Sheng for a long time, and then, somehow, the god asked this question.
"Yes!"
Zhang Sheng by the river narrowed his eyes.
"Your dream is ......"
"I'm living my dreams......"
Under the moonlight, Zhang Sheng grinned, pushed his glasses, and looked at the bustling lights in the distance, as if immersed in this beautiful atmosphere.
"I don't understand ......"
Zhang Sheng's answer made Lin Xia a little dazed.
"I used to be too lonely, it was not challenging to do anything, what I wanted, well, as long as I wanted, I could get it with my hand, and over time, I felt that life was full of shadows and darkness, life overwhelmed me, and it was boring, and now ......"
"Now what?"
"I enjoy this process of sweating very hard, but success is still very difficult, it's like a game, everything I do is starting from scratch, no, it's minus two million, and how do I turn those minus two million into 1.9 million, 1.8 million, and then slowly start from zero......"
“……”
Lin Xia was silent.
When Zhang Sheng spoke, he seemed to be intoxicated, both enjoying and immersing, as if everything in the distance was full of charm and yearning.
But when Zhang Sheng's words heard her ears, she felt that there was no logic, and there were contradictions everywhere, like a drunk person talking nonsense.
What do you want, get it soon?
What is too lonely and not challenging?
What is this?
Lin Xia suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked like a madman.
But it is undeniable that she gained a lot from chatting with Zhang Sheng while walking and chatting today.
She felt like she was being exposed to a different world and looking at some different people.
"Zhang Sheng, do you think Panpan has signed a ten-year C-level artist contract with [Shengshi Entertainment], what will happen to the ending?"
"Some people have to go through some wind and rain and some torture, and then they are tortured all over their bodies to the point that they are not human, so that they can grow...... In the entertainment industry, the water is deeper. ”
"I'm going to persuade her?"
"It's useless to persuade, she just can't listen, and even thinks that you are hindering her and jealous of her, she is bent on becoming famous, dreaming of this thing, sometimes it's really cannibalistic."
"So what should I do?"
"When she figures it out later, or when her temper wears off, or when the ten-year contract arrives, you can let her come to my company."
"You? Firm? ”
"In the future, I will have a company, and there is a high probability that it will involve some entertainment industry ......"
“???”
……………………
"Boss Liu, I said, I don't do your integrated stove ......"
"Mr. Xu, don't look at us as a new brand, but our integrated stove is better than other brands of integrated stove, I can give you the purchase price, the best price ......"
"Boss Liu, I'm sorry......"
Morning.
Next to the [Senran Integrated Stove] store.
The drunken Liu Kaili smoked one cigarette after another.
When he learned that Zhang Sheng had signed another order in Ganxi Xiaofry, he found that his emotions were not as excited as at the beginning, but had an indescribable sense of discomfort.
He's actually been working hard these days.
However, luck was really bad.
He didn't sign a single order.
Even if I ate and drank with a prospect I have known for a long time today, I didn't sign a single order.
The other party doesn't seem to be in the oil and salt, no matter what he says, it's useless, and even if he makes some concessions as the boss, he can't get the other party to agree.
It's actually a very bad thing.
He glanced at Zhang Sheng's room, where the rhythmic keyboard crackled sounded.
He hesitated, but he didn't go up after all.
After returning home, his wife Chen Aiju first complained about his drunken body, and then said that he was nagging him for not doing his job, and in and out of words, he said that if he had half of Zhang Sheng's ability, then this store would not be far from success.
After Liu Kaili listened, he only felt very harsh.
"I admit he's hardworking, he's lucky, but ......"
"It's lucky to be able to sign one or two orders, but now in just one week, he has almost signed six orders, and he is not far from the task of thirteen sets......"
"Five singles, one of which was signed by Li Bin, not Zhang Sheng...... This has to be planned separately, and it can't be counted in the thirteen orders. ”
"Didn't Li Bin be called in by Xiao Zhang? After running with Xiao Zhang for two days, Li Bin was able to sign the order independently, you see, you have also run so many skylous...... But the customers who walked in in the past few days all asked Zhang Sheng, which one came to you? With a talent like Zhang Sheng, we have to find a way to retain ......"
“……”
In my ears, my wife's chattering voice was still ringing.
Liu Kaili thought about the future of his store, and then thought of giving Zhang Sheng a part of the shares, so ......
What else does he have to say about this store in the future?
Now his daughter-in-law seems to have been brainwashed by him, almost every day is Zhang Sheng Zhang Sheng, why don't you marry Zhang Sheng?
He's the owner of this shop!
That Zhang Sheng didn't take any money, but he was poor, and he took him in to run the business, gave him a bite to eat, and could give him a commission, which was already very good, and then gave him shares......
Isn't that a proper wrongdoer?
But......
When I was drinking that night, I told Zhang Sheng about the shares in person, in case they really believed it, then ......
The more Liu Kaili thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Kaili made a phone call to Zhang Sheng as soon as possible.
"Zhang Sheng......"
"Boss Liu?"
"Zhang Sheng, I was drunk before, did I say any nonsense jokes?"
"No......"
"Oh, that's good, some wine talk can't be taken seriously, haha, by the way Zhang Sheng, I'll introduce you to a customer, Mr. Xu, he is a big customer, there is a villa in Yanjing, I chatted with him last night, the other party has a little bit of intention to sign a contract, I originally wanted to sign this order today, but today is really busy, I want to have a meeting, why don't you help sign it?"
"Good!"
