Ling Jie turned the key, opened the door and walked in. His mind was filled with thoughts about why Uncle Zhang said such strange words. Why? Ling Jie couldn't figure it out.
"Dong dong dong" came a knock on the door. Who would knock on the door at this time, the sanitation fee aunt? No way...
But other than this possibility, Ling Jie didn't expect who would come to him, because he had only returned to Nanhua City for a few days, and he didn't have any friends at all. All his former friends and friends had also lost contact. Ling Jie put on the clothes he had just half taken off again.
Pants walked over and opened the door.
"Ling Jie, are you Ling Jie? Are you really Ling Jie?" A man about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a suit and leather shoes, carrying a briefcase and wearing a pair of small glasses. Just like the legendary Bai Shi
The immortal salesman.
Ling Jie frowned, why did someone come to the door to make sales even after two days of residence? He hurriedly closed the door without saying anything.
"Thank you sir I don't need any product"
"Eh. Hey. Wait a minute, Ling Jie, I'm not a salesman!" the short man said as he squeezed into the room.
This man was extremely depressed. He rejected himself before even saying a few words. This guy regarded himself as a salesman, and he hadn't even started selling products yet!
"I told you, I don't want your products," Ling Jie frowned and said angrily.
I have never seen such a person these days. He rushed to someone else's house even after saying no, Ling Jie suddenly thought about it.
Ah! How did he know that my name was Ling Jie? I didn’t know anyone in Nanhua City. Except for Uncle Zhang downstairs, no one knew that I was back.
"I*, you bitch, I am Xing Haobin!" the short man cursed loudly.
Ling Jie must have thought he was a fool to become a soldier. He didn't even recognize his own brothers, and he felt unspeakably depressed.
It's no wonder that Ling Jie couldn't recognize him. It's been almost 56 years. All the brothers around him have changed. Now they are no longer just kids who know how to fight. Xing Haobin was also the number one general under Ling Jie back then.
Ling Jie's best friend, the one with whom he had the strongest relationship, they would fight together and punish him together. After Ling Jie was sent to serve in the army by his parents, he felt sad for a while. After graduating from high school, he joined a low-class
Uncle Zhang, who works as a clerk in a small company, went to visit the community today and accidentally learned that Ling Jie had come back, so he ran upstairs to find Ling Jie, and the above scene happened.
"What? You're not a salesman? Are you Xing Haobin?" Ling Jie looked at Xing Haobin in surprise.
"***When did I sell a product to you? I just pushed me away without explaining clearly. The stick I helped you get was in vain." Xing Haobin rolled his eyes at Ling Jie and said.
When Xing Haobin announced his name, Ling Jie opened the door in surprise.
"Come in quickly and sit down." Ling Jie opened the door holding Xing Haobin's hand.
Because he had closed the door too quickly, Xing Haobin rushed in again and his hand was caught between the door panels.
"Hey, my hand, do you still have any humanity?" Xing Haobin cried and stroked his injured hand.
"Why don't you tell me that you are Xing Haobin? I thought you were a salesperson. You know those salespeople are the most annoying and can't be driven away." Ling Jie touched his head in embarrassment.
This is a fact. As long as you let the salesman come into your home and talk about how good his product is until you buy it, they won't leave otherwise. "Learn with emotion and move with reason."
They make you obediently buy their products.
"I didn't even finish my words, you just said I was a salesperson and pushed me out of the door. Oh my god, if you had tried harder, my arm would have been broken." Xing Haobin finished speaking.
Ling Jie pinched his arm fiercely.
"By the way, how did you find me here? No one seems to know that I'm back, right?" Ling Jie laughed and shook off the hand on his arm.
"Oh, I have nothing to do today. I went to see Uncle Zhang in the community. He told me about your return. Do you think I will come to see you soon?" Xing Haobin said.
"How have you been these past few years?" After hearing Xing Haobin's words, Ling Jie felt indescribably moved and could only express his feelings with a short greeting.
As expected, the truest and strongest friendships are still with childhood friends. By high school and college, it is difficult to make true confidants.
"Since you left, our group has disbanded and we haven't caused trouble everywhere. As for me, I just finished high school and then started looking for trouble. I was lucky enough to join a start-up company.
It's still like that now,
My old man keeps urging me to find a wife quickly and get things done, but who can take notice of me, a little clerk?"
Xing Haobin shook his head helplessly. In Nanhua, a city that is not big or small, it is really difficult for such an inconspicuous clerk to find his "sweetheart".
Girls these days, if you don’t have money, who would be willing to fall in love with you? If you can’t even meet your material needs, how can you fall in love spiritually? If you don’t have money, just have fun!
"Don't say that. What kind of job do you do and what kind of life do you live? Aren't you quite free now? There are always good girls. Don't be anxious. Take your time." Ling Jie said with a smile.
That being said, how many girls in today’s society really don’t covet wealth and pleasure? The bottom line is
"Money" is the real culprit that leads to the current status of this society.
"Ling Jie, stop talking about me, what about you? Why did you stay away for so long once you were in the army? Can't you go home in two years?"
Xing Haobin swept away his depressed mood and said.
"Goose... I stayed in the army for another three years under special circumstances." Ling Jie didn't want to reveal his identity as a Marine for the time being, so he had to say that he stayed in the ordinary company for another three years.
"Hey, you've been gone for so long, but you've screwed up the rest of us." Xing Haobin sighed.
"Stop talking about this, do you want something to drink? I'll get it for you." After saying that, Ling Jie walked to the kitchen refrigerator and got two cans of beer.
Only then did Xing Haobin clearly see Ling Jie's figure and changes over the years, and his mouth opened in surprise.
"I*, Ling Jie, your army should feed you hormones every day! Are you so strong and tall all of a sudden?"
What Xing Haobin said was a bit exaggerated. He has not taken hormones. After the reform and opening up, the conditions in the army have become better and better, and the food has become richer. There are also specialized nutritionists, and there is fruit to eat after meals.
Ling Jie was in the special forces, which required greater physical exertion, so food was self-evident.
"Haha, look what you said, the food in the army is ready, four dishes and one soup every day, balanced nutrition, and there is also fruit to eat after meals," Ling Jie said with a smile.
"If I had known, I would have joined the army. I was exhausted every day. I still ate hard rice when I got home. As a result, I was malnourished and am still as tall as I am now." Xing Haobin frowned and sighed helplessly.
In fact, the food in Xing Haobin's family is not bad. The reason is that this guy is very lazy, doesn't like playing basketball, and doesn't like sports. His income and expenditure are not directly proportional, so when he is 20 years old, he is still 1.7 meters tall, and he has a child.
His eyes made him look extremely vulgar."
"Not bad, you look a bit human now in this dog skin," Ling Jie said with a smile.
"**Are you praising me or ridiculing me?" After saying this, he jumped on Ling Jie and began to fight.
The two of them were wrestling together like two children again, and they were indescribably happy.
Xing Haobin gasped for breath from exhaustion, but Ling Jie's expression remained unchanged. He did not use any real skills when fighting with Xing Haobin.
Otherwise, Xing Haobin would have slept in the People's Hospital.
"You've become like an ox, you've exhausted me to death!" Xing Haobin looked at Ling Jie and cursed with a smile.
Xing Haobin, who had been in the office for a long time and lacked exercise, was no match for Ling Jie, so he had to fight back with his mouth.
"What are you going to do when you come back this time? I heard that your parents..." Xing Haobin said with an elongated expression.
"I'm still an unemployed vagrant. Let's get familiar with it for a while. My dad left a taxi for me. I plan to drive a taxi in a while and be a happy brother." Ling Jie didn't care about Xing Hao.
Bin smiled when he talked about his parents.
"What? Driving a taxi? You can't. It's such a tiring job. Why don't you come to work in my company? I'm familiar with the girl in the human resources department, and the work is quite leisurely. The salary is negotiable.
" Xing Haobin persuaded.
"No need, that's it." Ling Jie said silently.
Seeing Ling Jie like this, Xing Haobin couldn't persuade him too much. He also knew that he had to leave his parents' affairs to his own devices. However, he was still very concerned about his brother who had been with him for many years. He knew that Ling Jie had just returned from the army.
He was still not used to the outside society, so he decided to give Ling Jie a chance to cleanse himself from the troubles. He invited his old classmates to have a "pati", and after that, he used a mobile phone text message to send a group message to inform everyone of the party at xxx bar that night, and told Ling Jie that he would meet at xxx bar in the evening.
The news of Jie's return was told to everyone, and it was just in time to hold a reunion of classmates that had been in the past for many years.
