The antique city on Sunday is undoubtedly more lively.
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Ran entered the antique city. He stayed up all night last night and didn't finish carving the couple's pendant until about ten o'clock in the morning. Then he slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
This time when he went to sleep, Chen Ran did not dream again, which made him slightly disappointed. At the same time, he also understood that he could not actively control his dreams, but not necessarily when.
What worried him was whether it was just these two times, and whether the ability to dream would disappear...
Chen Ran, who had tasted the sweetness, was also worried about gains and losses!
Seeing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at the entrance of the antique city, Chen Ran thought for a while and walked in. Now he only had two yuan in his pocket, so he could hardly do anything, and there was still more than twenty yuan in his bank card.
Soon after, Chen Ran walked out under the disdainful eyes of the female bank clerk.
At first glance, Uncle Liang's Baoyu Pavilion no longer looks like a grocery store. Instead, it is magnificent and majestic. There are two wooden sculptures placed at the door. It is also very popular. People come and go, and the salesperson also becomes
All beauties in cheongsam.
"Where is your boss?" Chen Ran walked to the cashier and asked the female cashier sitting inside.
The female cashier raised her head and glanced at Chen Ran, but did not say a word. She lowered her head and helped people check out. Chen Ran frowned, but had to wait. After the person who checked out left, Chen Ran asked again: "Who of you is in charge?
people?"
The female cashier looked at Chen Ran carefully, and a look of disgust suddenly flashed on her face. She thought that Chen Ran was a toad eating swan meat and wanted to talk to her, but Chen Ran looked so poor.
This will naturally not be taken seriously by her.
But just when she frowned and wanted to drive Chen Ran away, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked behind Chen Ran with a charming smile.
At the same time, a strange voice came from behind Chen Ran: "Oh, isn't this classmate Chen Ran?"
Chen Ran trembled and suddenly turned his head to look.
He saw a young man wearing a black suit with long hair standing behind him with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at him with a sneer on his face!
"Boss!" At the same time, the female salespersons in the store shouted in unison with smiles on their faces.
The female cashier at the checkout counter glanced at Chen Ran and felt very lucky. She didn't expect that this poor-looking boy turned out to be the boss's classmate. Fortunately, she didn't offend him.
And just when she was thinking this, she suddenly heard her boss smile at the young man and said: "It's really classmate Chen Ran. I thought I had mistakenly admitted you. The year before last, I heard from my classmates that I saw you on the street.
Begging, I didn’t expect begging to come to my door today!”
Then he ordered to the stunned female cashier: "Xiao Ling, this is my college classmate or roommate. He came to my door begging for money. For my sake, don't give me fifty cents."
,Give...give me a piece."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the whole store looked at the young man standing in front of the cashier with strange eyes.
Chen Ran stared at the young man opposite him with cold eyes, but his hands had been clenched into fists unconsciously, even trembling slightly... and his mind was filled with thoughts...
Just a year ago, Chen Ran was still hanging around in a third-rate university in Zhongdu, and was about to graduate. However, at this critical moment, something happened that changed Chen Ran's fate.
That day, Chen Ran, who was in class, didn't know what happened. He suddenly felt very dizzy. He went back to the dormitory in the middle of the class. He was in a daze all the way. When he returned to the dormitory, Chen Ran lay down directly on the bed and fell asleep.
However, the moment he woke up, the whole dormitory was full of people!
Among them are counselors.
It turned out that his dormitory was stolen, and a total of a Nokia mobile phone, 800 yuan in cash, a Lenovo laptop and an Apple laptop were lost, and the Apple laptop was worth more than 10,000 yuan.
The young man in a black suit in front of him is one of his college roommates, named Zhou Jianyun. At the same time, the lost Apple laptop is also his!
At that time, Zhou Jianyun insisted that his notebook must have been stolen by Chen Ran, and in the end all the evidence proved that the thief was none other than Chen Ran.
When Chen Ran learned such a result, he was completely stunned!
Maybe the impact was too bad and the counselor didn't want this matter to spread, or maybe Chen Ran's pleading and explanation had the effect. In the end, the matter was not reported. Even at Chen Ran's begging, Chen Ran's
Neither parents were notified, but one thing is that Chen Ran had to find a way to raise the money, otherwise he would notify his parents and file a case with the police.
At that time, Chen Ran was just an inexperienced student. How could he get such a sum of money? He had never thought of asking his family for it, but after thinking about his family's situation, he resolutely gave up the idea.
In this way, Chen Ran left the school in embarrassment, looking for every possible way to raise money.
For three whole days, Chen Ran couldn't find any connections. He didn't eat or drink for three days, and due to anxiety, he passed out directly on the street. It was at this time that he met Uncle Liang.
After Uncle Liang learned about his affairs, he gave him a way. Uncle Liang could pay back the money he owed first, but Chen Ran had to keep his ID card in Uncle Liang's shop, and Uncle Liang also wanted more money.
Chen Ran’s parents’ phone number and verified.
Of course, Uncle Liang didn't want to tell Chen Ran's parents about this.
At that time, Chen Ran was desperate, so naturally he would not be unwilling. In fact, these two requests made by Uncle Liang were not to prevent Chen Ran from escaping, but to encourage Chen Ran, who was already frustrated at the time.
Chen Ran only understood this truth later.
Uncle Liang not only helped Chen Ran solve the problem, but also gave him a way to make a living, and that was carving jade!
After paying off the debt, Chen Ran was persuaded to drop out of the school. After a bumpy journey, he went from knowing nothing about jade carving to being an entry-level student now. Not long ago, he finally paid off his debt to Uncle Liang.
money...
This is why Uncle Liang's death was such a big shock to Chen Ran!
In this incident, in addition to being grateful to Uncle Liang, Chen Ran felt more humiliated. He would never forget the scene that happened in the dormitory, and he would never forget the way those people looked at him...
"Why, it's too much. Don't be too much. It's Brother Yun who takes care of you. Brother Yun also knows that it has been difficult for you in the past two years." Zhou Jianyun took a one-yuan note from the cashier's hand and handed it to him.
In front of Chen Ran, he patted Chen Ran on the shoulder as if he was taking care of you.
Chen Ran took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, suppressed the anger in his heart, and took out the small box containing the couple's pendant from his pocket. Although he wanted to rush up and punch the other person, he was no longer the same person as before.
This account will have to be settled sooner or later, but not now!
Zhou Jianyun glanced at Chen Ran, with a sneer on his face. At first, he didn't know that Chen Ran was working as a carver in the antique city, but he discovered Chen Ran's name after he took over Baoyu Pavilion.
Zhou Jianyun was not sure at first, thinking it was the same name, so he checked it out. Otherwise, as his boss, he would not have appeared in the store for such a trivial matter.
"Dear fellow villagers, first of all, welcome to our store. In addition, I would like to solemnly remind everyone to pay attention to their belongings. I am a classmate who is very capable and has been a master thief in school. It is not a problem to steal..."
Zhou Jianyun glanced around and noticed that some people were looking at Chen Ran with unbearable eyes. He clasped his hands and explained with some pride.
When everyone heard what he said, they all immediately went to check their belongings. Then they looked at Chen Ran as if they were on guard against thieves, and started pointing.
Originally, they heard that Chen Ran was Zhou Jianyun's college roommate, and they were quite dissatisfied with Zhou Jianyun's ridicule of Chen Ran. But when Zhou Jianyun said this, their sympathy suddenly turned into contempt.
"It turns out to be a thief!"
"It's so shameless to be so young and become a thief without doing good things!"
"His parents raised him in vain!"
…
With a "pop" sound, the small box containing Hou Yi shooting the sun and Chang'e flying to the moon fell out of Chen Ran's hand and fell to the ground. The box was also thrown open, and a pair of jade articles fell out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
look!
"Oh, this pair of jades is so beautiful!"
"Did he steal it?"
"It turns out he is really a thief!"
…
Chen Ran didn't open his mouth to explain, but glanced at everyone with indifferent eyes, feeling sad that everyone was following suit, then took a deep breath and turned around.
But everyone was still pointing at his back.
No one noticed that Chen Ran's back looked so depressed at this moment...
Zhou Jianyun curled his lips disdainfully, looked down at the time, and found that the agreed time had arrived, so he walked out of Baoyu Pavilion.
For him, what happened just now was just a small episode in his life.
Although he had some grudges with Chen Ran, he didn't even bother to argue with Chen Ran.
In his eyes, Chen Ran is just a small person, not on the same level as him, just like a clown. When nothing happens, it is enough to have some fun with the other person and feel the satisfaction of being looked up to!
And now he has something to do.
The day after tomorrow is the day when his grandfather will celebrate his seventieth birthday. He is quite in awe of the old man. Accordingly, giving gifts to the old man is very troublesome.
The gift must satisfy the old man, otherwise, I may not be able to enjoy the good fruit for a long time.
And if the old man is satisfied and the old man speaks, it will be much easier for him to do things.
but--
Obviously, it is not an easy thing to satisfy the old man.
All he knew was that if he gave the gift he was satisfied with to the old man, the old man would definitely be so angry that he would blow his nose and stare.
This is the experience he has learned from childhood!
For this reason, he tried his best, but after half a month, he found nothing. It was either too expensive or too damn unoriginal.
And just when he was anxious, he didn't expect that a friend of his would bring something to his attention. It turned out that he, the friend, saw a jade longevity pendant on the online Jade House forum and told him, "You are not a newbie."
Have you bought a jade shop?
Then give a piece of jade as a gift, which means that you are devoted to your career, and this piece of jade is also a birthday gift, so it is suitable for giving to an old man to celebrate his birthday, and the price is not high or low.
When he heard it, a bolt from the blue sounded in his mind, and he was suddenly enlightened. He thought this idea was really great!
