"Why are you asking those two boys? A few days ago, they followed Li Bing to our house to pay New Year greetings..."
Liu Chuan really didn't know much about the current situation of Nobita and Monkey. He hadn't asked about the pet shop for almost half a year.
The pet shop owner who was originally assigned to Zhou Rui also moved to the Mastiff Garden. Except for the house used by the shop, which still belongs to Liu Chuan, all other business operations were handed over to Li Bing, and even the name of the business license was changed.
, Li Bing is also responsible for the profits and losses.
Zhuang Rui did not answer Liu Chuan's words, but continued to ask: "What are Nobita and Monkey like? I'm asking about their character..."
"I heard from Xiao Bing that both of them are very smart. They were unwilling to do their jobs before, but now they seem to be doing pretty well. How about I call Xiao Bing now and ask?"
While Liu Chuan was talking, he took out his phone, but Zhuang Rui snatched it away and said, "Are you sick? Look at what time it is now, that's me. If it's someone else who bothers you at one o'clock in the middle of the night, I won't be with you."
The boy fell out..."
Liu Chuan knew that Zhuang Rui didn't talk as much as he did, so he must have had his intentions when asking those two people, so he asked: "Hey, let me tell you, why are you looking for these two?"
"I bought an antique store in Beijing and wanted to find two people to check it out. Isn't this untrustworthy..."
Zhuang Rui told the truth that he had been thinking about this since he started working at "Shu Ya Zhai". Although he is not short of money now, he is short of people, and in this industry, even if he has money, he may not be able to find the right person.
candidate.
Zhuang Rui thought about it for a long time. Peng Fei and Hao Long were definitely not suitable. If they stood at the door, no one would dare to enter the store. Moreover, antique shops are different from other businesses. To do this business, you must have considerable experience.
Social experience.
Just like the joke I told you before, the clerk in the antique store must have the ability to call a deer a horse and call it a bullshit. He must also have a thick skin and keep a smile even after being bullied. As the saying goes, he must be slapped on the right.
The one with the left cheek.
And you also need to have the ability to turn against others, otherwise if the items in the store are broken, who will you ask to pay for it?
If you randomly recruit a few college students from the job market, you may not even work for a week, and even your underwear will be defrauded. There is a saying in the Beijing antique circle that if you want to listen to stories and cross talk, you don’t have to go to Deyun Club at all.
, sneak into Panjiayuan, gather together to find a place to chat, and hear all kinds of strange things.
After much deliberation, the only people Zhuang Rui knew and knew a little bit about were Nobita and Monkey.
After the last time Nobita was arrested by the police and Monkey looked anxious, Zhuang Rui could tell that these two brothers were very loyal people and their conduct should not be too bad.
As the saying goes, there are many dogs who are slaughtered for justice, and there are always scholars who are unfaithful. Dog-slaughters generally attach great importance to the loyalty of the world, and it is not uncommon for those who die for loyalty.
On the contrary, many scholars often despise the morality of the world, regard themselves as noble but have no desires, and think that they have lofty ambitions, but most of them are just fishing for fame and self-interest, and there are only a few noble people.
"Can you trust those two people?" Liu Chuan curled his lips disdainfully.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said: "At least those two brothers are loyal enough. Last time at the police station, the monkey almost knelt down because I was afraid that Nobita would be beaten inside..."
"Not to mention, although I have chased Nobita for a few streets in the past, those two boys are still very particular. Although they are a bit green-skinned, they do not play dirty tricks in things, and they have been in the market for so many years. They are generally tricky.
You can all see it, so it would be appropriate to show you the store..."
Liu Chuan nodded, agreeing with Zhuang Rui's words, and said, "I'll call Xiao Bing tomorrow and ask him before we talk..."
When Zhuang Rui got up the next day, he found that the other two female mastiffs had also given birth. One gave birth to five cubs, and the other gave birth to eight. Together with the female mastiffs that had given birth before, the Mastiff Park this year
There are a total of thirty-two young mastiffs, which are absolutely extremely rare based on the pedigree of these young mastiffs.
Zhou Rui and Renqing Tsomu were busy all night yesterday and were exhausted by now. Liu Chuan did not accompany Zhuang Rui home, but he called Li Bing in the morning. The two men did a good job in the pet shop.
The salary is about 3,000, which is pretty good in Pengcheng.
Liu Chuan didn't say anything on the phone, he just said that Zhuang Rui wanted to see them for something and they made an appointment to meet at Song Jun's teahouse in the afternoon.
Zhuang Rui had dinner at Liu Chuan's house at noon, and his mother was also there. After Zhuang Rui handed over his engagement invitation to his two elders, he rushed to Pengcheng Antique Market first.
It was still a little early before the appointment with Nobita and others, so Zhuang Rui was ready to wander around the antique market. As this was the place where he could get his first pot of gold in life, Zhuang Rui naturally had a good impression of it.
"Look at that person, does he look like the jade expert surnamed Zhuang in the treasure appraisal program that is being broadcast these days?"
"Come on, there's TV on every day. If he's not in Beijing, how can he come to Pengcheng?"
"Well, that's true..."
"You know nothing, don't you know that this program is all recorded and broadcast?"
As soon as Zhuang Rui walked into the antique market, he heard comments in his ears. Not to mention the stall owners, even the tourists coming and going from Taobao were all pointing at Zhuang Rui. If he hadn't seen Zhuang Rui,
Rui carries a large Tibetan mastiff with him, so someone must have come up to ask about it.
"Hey, may I ask, are you Mr. Zhuang who does the Spring Festival treasure appraisal program?"
This is the sequelae of being on CCTV. People who were originally in the antique market are very concerned about antique programs, and those who are new to the industry think that being on TV means they are experts. Now some people can't help it.
, stepped forward to ask Zhuang Rui.
After Zhuang Rui heard this, he immediately shook it like a rattle and said in a Pengcheng accent: "Oh, I think so, but he didn't invite me to CCTV..."
"Let me tell you, these are us Pengcheng people. We haven't seen the Beijing accent spoken by the expert on TV..."
"No, I still feel like, hey, Teacher Zhuang..."
But after Zhuang Rui heard everyone's conversation, he gave up the idea of visiting the market and wishing Mr. Lu a happy new year. He took the white lion out of the market and went straight to Song Jun's tea house.
However, bringing the white lion almost caused trouble again, because the little girl at the door of the tea house was so frightened that she screamed on the spot when she saw the size of the white lion, which made the manager who came behind him almost not call the police.
.
In the end, Song Jun, who was in Beijing, made a phone call in person. The manager of the teahouse let Zhuang Rui in and opened Song Jun's box for entertaining guests.
Zhuang Rui was sitting in Song Jun's office, pouring himself tea when the box door was pushed open by the manager, followed by two people, one strong and one thin, it was Nobita and Monkey.
"Mr. Zhuang, your friend is here. Do you still need a tea master to serve you tea?"
Zhuang Rui was the guest whom the boss had assigned him to pay special attention to, and the manager did not dare to neglect him.
Zhuang Rui smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, thank you, I'll just chat with these two friends..."
Although Zhuang Rui's appearance has not changed much from a year ago, the current Zhuang Rui, in front of strangers, naturally has a personal aura that cannot be rejected. This is a kind of heartfelt expression.
confidence.
Although the manager wanted to curry favor with the boss's friend, he still followed Zhuang Rui's words and walked out of the box.
"Brother Zhuang, I would like to wish you a happy New Year. I have been thinking of calling you, but neither of us has your phone number..."
The monkey had a sweet mouth and bowed to Zhuang Rui as soon as he entered the door. The two of them seemed to have gained a lot of knowledge. They did not look around after entering the door and walked directly to the sofa where Zhuang Rui was sitting.
"Hey, monkey, your mouth is so sweet again. How are you, the elderly at home? Say hello to me..."
Zhuang Rui was very happy when he saw the monkey. This guy really didn't look like an emperor in a dragon robe. He was wearing a bright yellow satin double-breasted mandarin jacket. However, he still looked like an eunuch. His movements were the same as his own.
When I met him before, there was no difference.
"Brother Zhuang, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time..."
On the other hand, Nobita became much calmer. He walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Rui. He held it up with both hands and offered it to Zhuang Rui. Although Zhuang Rui was younger than him, Nobita was willing to call him brother.
Zhuang Rui waved his hand repeatedly, took the cup of tea, and said: "I'm not older than you, Nobita, just call me by my name, sit down, sit down..."
After both of them sat down, Zhuang Rui said: "Nobita, I picked up a bug at your place and got a grasshopper gourd from Sanhe Liu. Later, it even caused you to go to Tianjin to get an eye scan and pay the tuition. This is actually my fault...
…”
"Brother Zhuang, please don't say that. I was still greedy at that time. Otherwise, I would have been in the antique market for several years and I wouldn't have been deceived by someone's story..."
When Nobita heard Zhuang Rui mention this matter, his old face turned red and he quickly stood up. To be honest, he had some grudges about this matter at first, but now that he has two to three thousand yuan a month, he has already put this aside.
Forgot.
No one is born willing to be a bad person. Nobita and Monkey are cheating and swindling in the antique market. Although they can occasionally make a little money, their hearts are always uneasy. After all, there are very few people who are born to do bad things and still feel at ease.
However, money comes easily and is spent easily. The two of them have never saved much money. However, now that they are receiving monthly salary, they know that money is not easy to come by and their life is actually more secure.
After Zhuang Rui exchanged some rude words with the two of them, he simply said straight to the point: "We are already acquaintances. I have a business in Beijing and I would like to ask you two to come over and help me. I wonder if you are willing?"
"help?"
After hearing this, Daxiong and Houhou looked at each other in confusion. Before they came, they also guessed the reason why Zhuang Rui was looking for them, but they never dreamed that Zhuang Rui was going to invite them to Beijing.
