Paris is the capital of fashion, and the garment processing industry is very developed. There are large and small garment factories all over the city and suburbs. If Dai Mengyan wants to operate her own brand of clothing, she must have an understanding of the garment processing industry. She knows her products in the future. For positioning, it is impossible to produce on a large scale. She can only find small and sophisticated garment factories, and inspecting garment factories is what she must do.
That morning she packed up her clothes and drove downstairs to inspect the garment factory. The car was parked on the roadside downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the apartment, she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, there was a Chinese young man behind her.
The young man hurried over and called again: "Miss Dai"
Some time ago, Dai Mengyan bumped into reporters as soon as she went out. Since she never spoke, the number of reporters gradually became less and less, and calm returned in front of the apartment door. She looked at the young man, and he didn't look like a reporter carrying a luggage bag.
The young man stepped forward and introduced himself: "My name is Shen Biao. I am from New York and arrived yesterday afternoon. I am a friend of Brother Nong. I am going back to Beijing and made a special detour to see Brother Nong. I don't know where Brother Nong lives. I don’t have Brother Nong’s phone number. I can only see Brother Nong through you. I would like to ask for your help in contacting him.”
Dai Mengyan said: "I'm sorry, I can't help you." and went to drive.
Shen Biao chased after him and said to the car window: "I am really a friend of Brother Nong. We met in Budapest. It was Brother Nong who helped me go to the United States. You can call Lin Xuehong and Brother Jiu before I come." try to find.
Dai Mengyan didn't even say anything and drove away.
In the morning, she inspected two garment factories. When she came back near lunch time, she saw Shen Biao still waiting on the roadside from a distance. The car drove past Shen Biao, and she paid no attention to what Shen Biao meant.
Shen Biao caught up with Dai Mengyan before he got out of the car and said, "Miss Dai, please help me contact Brother Nong. He will know as soon as you say there is an angry young man. If you say Beijing swordsman, he will definitely meet me."
Dai Mengyan got out of the car and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Shen Biao was well prepared; he immediately took out several New York newspapers, some in English and some in Chinese, pointed at each report about Dai Mengyan and explained: "I got the news from the newspapers, and I know that you are on this street. "I don't know which house number this apartment is, nor its phone number; Brother Jiu and Lin Xuehong refused to tell me, so I'll just wait here."
Dai Mengyan said: "Don't wait. You should know about Zinong's situation. He is not suitable to receive guests now." Shen Biao said: "Please contact me for me; Brother Nong will definitely agree to see me."
Dai Mengyan said: "You don't understand. It's useless for Zinong to agree. The decision-making power is not in his hands. Zinong is in Paris, and I am responsible for his safety. I don't want to say more, please come back."
Shen Biao stopped Dai Mengyan and said, "Then let me see you. I won't leave until I see Brother Nong." Dai Mengyan paused for a moment and asked, "Can I see your passport and air ticket?"
Shen Biao took out his passport and ticket.
Dai Mengyan looked at his passport and air ticket, returned them to Shen Biao, and asked: "You must see him?"
Shen Biao nodded: "Yes."
Dai Mengyan said: "First, you have to undergo a security check; that is, a body search. Second, you are not allowed to stay overnight. Third, then I can ask Zinong if he has seen you."
Shen Biao quickly said: "I will accept the security check; I promise not to stay overnight. You can search now."
Dai Mengyan said: "It's not me doing the security check; it's the security guard; but it requires your written consent."
Shen Biao said: "I agree, I agree."
Dai Mengyan said: "Wait a moment, I'll go up and make a call."
Dai Mengyan went upstairs to his room and called Zi Nong, explained the situation and asked for his opinion. Zi Nong said on the phone: "Let's meet, it's not appropriate if we don't meet."
Dai Mengyan went downstairs and said to Shen Biao: "Zi Nong agrees to see you, get in the car."
Dai Mengyan drove Shen Biao to Param Apartment and showed her ID card to the security guard at the square gate. Different levels of cards represent different permissions. She explained the situation to the security guard, and Shen Biao passed the first checkpoint.
When they arrived at the apartment, Dai Mengyan explained the conditions for allowing Shen Biao to see Ye Zinong to the security guard in the duty room. The duty leader checked Shen Biao's passport, air ticket and hotel voucher, and then asked Shen Biao to fill in an English version. The security check registration form, in addition to information such as time, identity, person to be visited, consent of the household head, etc., mainly contains documentary evidence of voluntary acceptance of special security checks. Shen Biao’s English is not very good, so he completed the registration with the help of Dai Mengyan, who was also the head of the household. He signed his name in the column.
After filling out the security check registration, Shen Biao and his travel bag were taken into the back room of the duty room. A security guard conducted a security check on Shen Biao's body and travel bag. No offensive objects or other dangerous items were found, and he was then taken out. , the shift leader also filled in the security check registration form, signed his name, and finally issued a visitor pass card to Shen Biao.
With this card, Shen Biao can pass through the elevator and corridor. The last remaining door is the door. Shen Biao followed Dai Mengyan to the door. He wanted to show in front of Dai Mengyan that he was close to Ye Zinong, so he Come forward and knock on the door.
Dai Mengyan said: "Stop knocking, Zinong has no right to open the door."
Dai Mengyan opened the door and let Shen Biao into the room. She said to Zi Nong, "I'm going back," and then closed the door and left. She knew that Zi Nong and Shen Biao were just acquaintances in Budapest, and she didn't know much about Shen Biao, especially since Zi Nong was in the same situation. In extraordinary times.
She was wary of Shen Biao.
Zizinong didn't dare to touch the door. When he heard the door opening, he walked over and stood by the door to greet him. Dai Mengyan's attitude towards Shen Biao was obviously not friendly enough, and he didn't even have the basic courtesy. He could understand it, after all, even he didn't understand it. Shen Biao.
Zizinong welcomed Shen Biao into the living room, shook hands and exchanged greetings: "Have you eaten?"
Shen Biao smiled and said, "No, I've been spending time downstairs with Sister Meng."
Ye ZiNong said: "I haven't eaten either. You sit down first and I'll get another helping."
Shen Biao put down his luggage bag and said, "I'm going to the bathroom first."
Ye Zi Nong took Shen Biao to the bathroom of his bedroom, and then went to the kitchen. He took out two bags of frozen food from the newly purchased large refrigerator and threw them into the electric kettle. He made two more cups of tea and brought them to the living room.
At this time, Shen Biao had returned to the living room, took a cup of tea and said, "Brother Nong, what kind of place is this? I almost took off my pants during the security check just now."
Ye Zinong said: "The agreement between Mengyan and the security company has special terms. Not all visitors to the apartment are so fussy. The food is already hot. It will take half an hour to heat through. You drink water first."
Shen Biao looked around the house again and asked, "Is smoking allowed in this room?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "There is it on the table, take it yourself."
Shen Biao didn't take the cigarette on the table, took out his own cigarette and lit one, and said: "This house is too high-end, I'm afraid it will be smoked."
Ye Zi Nong said: "It's not that evil. You won't smoke my cigarettes this time? Didn't you say my cigarettes are good?"
Shen Biao pointed to the tea cup and said: "I didn't drink the water from you, and it doesn't matter whether I eat your food or not."
Ye Zi Nong asked: "What do you mean?"
Shen Biao said solemnly: "Brother Nong, let me call you this first. I don't know how to talk in circles, so I just want to ask you: Are you a traitor? Brother, I care about this. Your news is flying all over the sky, and Sister Meng's car is all over the place. You were smashed, who do I believe? I can’t figure out where you came from. I thought about it before I came here. Even if you are a traitor and you helped me, I will also thank you in person. Let’s go to Budapest That period is over." Zizinong said with a smile: "I said it doesn't matter."
Shen Biao said: "It works, I believe what you say."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then you should eat and drink. I'm sure your Chinese heart won't be stained."
Shen Biao slapped the table and said, "Let me just say, a traitor can help someone like me."
Shen Biao picked up the cup and drank a cup of tea, then said: "Okay, you will still be my Brother Nong from now on. You still have to smoke these cigarettes. If you don't smoke Brother Nong's good cigarettes, it will be useless." After saying this, he put out his hand. cigarette in the room, light a cigarette on the table.
Ye Zi Nong asked: "Are you competing with Americans?"
Shen Biao said sheepishly: "I competed and lost. Although it was not a formal competition, my skills were indeed inferior to others, and it was still heaven and earth. But it was good to communicate with each other. I made friends and gained knowledge."
Ye Zi Nong said: "That's right, we can't do everything to protect our country."
Shen Biao said: "This time I made a few friends in the 1st circle in the United States. I plan to open a 1st store in Beijing, do some marketing activities, and start a personalized stamp business. I used to do it for fun, but in the future I will do it. Let’s eat it.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "It's interesting and it can be used as food. That's good."
Shen Biao said: "When I was in school, I went to nightclubs to make money. I made the most money in a single performance by performing the bath of fire. I burned my fingers to light cigarettes for the guests. This was the most controversial and dangerous action. It was extremely shocking and destructive. To top it off, I have never left the burn ointment since I started practicing this. Once I was lighting a cigarette for a customer, and I was lighting a cigar. Would a half-foot-long cigar be any better? Damn it! But we can’t let it go, fingers. Just standing like that, it really hurts me to death, I thought you are roasting pig's trotters! But the grandson was still generous and gave 5 of them. If Brother Nong is interested, I will perform one for you."
Ye Zinong waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, we won't play with this."
Shen Biao said: "Actually, in my heart...well, how can I put it? I originally went to challenge the Americans, but ended up eating their products as food. What's the big deal? I like 1. It's true, but it's true. The thing that makes me really uncomfortable is that the 1 badge has the flags of many countries, but there is no one from China.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "I don't understand the operating mechanism of 1, and I don't know if this can explain anything, but it is a fact that China is lagging behind developed countries. If you don't become stronger, it won't be easy for others to give you face." Shen Biao opened the travel He took the bag, took out a Buddha statue from it and put it on the coffee table, and said: "Brother Nong, why don't we open a store now? I hired a Buddha statue in New York, and the one who consecrated it was a foreign monk. I heard that you went to a Buddhist college. Show me."
Ye Zi Nong said: "I can't stand this, it's two different things."
Shen Biao asked: "Why are they two different things?"
Ye Zinong said: "Religion is about psychological support, and Buddhism is about understanding the reality. I have been in the Buddhist college for two years, and religion is of no use to me, so I didn't learn it. You want me to tell you about my body and appearance. What they are all for, I really can’t tell.”
Shen Biao hurriedly put away the Buddha statue and said, "Let Brother Nong laugh."
Ye Zi Nong said: "There's nothing funny about this. It only works for you and doesn't hinder others."
After chatting for a while, Ye Zi Nong felt that the rice should be heated through, so he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Shen Biao also followed him and saw Ye Zi Nong opening the lid of the electric kettle and taking out four aluminum foil bags and two bags from the steaming kettle. One portion of rice, two portions of braised pork ribs, poured into two bowls and two plates respectively, served to the table, and forget about lunch.
Shen Biao looked at the aluminum foil bag and thought it was industrialized convenience food, so he said: "Brother Nong, just eat this." Ye Zi Nong said: "What's wrong with this? Meng Yan picked these out one by one from Chinese restaurants in Paris. , I bought it in large quantities and packed it up, the refrigerator was full, and everything I ate was the best cooking in Paris, what else could we want?”
Shen Biao tasted a piece of pork ribs and said in surprise: "Hey, it tastes good... It would be better if there was some wine." Ye Zi Nong said: "Yes, there is red wine and white wine. What do you drink?"
Shen Biao said: "White wine."
Ye ZiNong brought some white wine and glasses and poured two glasses.
Shen Biao said: "It's been half a year, come on, let's meet each other."
Ye Zi Nong had a glass of wine with Shen Biao.
Shen Biao said: "Brother Nong, are you a Marxist then?"
Ye Zinong said: "No. I have contact with it and agree with Marxism."
Shen Biao said: "I agree with it."
Ye Zi Nong said: "I agree with many things, including the Statue of Liberty in New York, the fraternity of Christ, Buddhism, and Confucian self-cultivation, so that's all for me? I don't have any objections. Do you agree?"
Shen Biao said: "Brother Nong, why did you tell Sister Xuehong that I was an angry young man? That made people look at me like that." Ye Zi Nong said: "You can do anything big as long as you protect your family and the country, and you still can't do it." What could it be?"
Shen Biao said: "Actually, I am not an angry young man. To tell you the truth, I have also studied Marxism. Chairman Mao said that we must read and study seriously to understand Marxism."
Ye Zinong said: "Let others do such a troublesome thing, and you won't have to do it. You don't need it."
Shen Biao was confused and asked: "Why don't I need it?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Why do you invite a Buddha? It's not just to make your wishes come true. The cost of a stick of incense is left to God to take care of everything, so why bother to understand Marxism? Of course, it's still cost-effective. No one can settle this debt. Do you believe that someone who wants to consecrate a Buddha statue really wants to understand Marxism?" Shen Biao said: "I think idealism and materialism do not have to be contradictory and can achieve perfect unity. .”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Why are you so capable?"
Shen Biao said: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "The mixer doesn't have the ability to seek advice, right? You can do both the left and the right, so what's the point? Don't worry about whether it's right or wrong. Just settle down first and then talk about it. If you can't even do it, If you don't live alone, how can you unify it?" Shen Biao said: "You are mocking me? Well, I will smash the Buddha statue when I go out."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Is someone's Buddha statue provoking you? I'm just saying that you don't need to understand Marxism. Everyone's way of living is different. Some rely on encouragement, some rely on faith, and some rely on the truth. Not everyone needs to understand Marxism. It’s impossible even for those who understand Marxism. Religion is useful if it can give people psychological support. People need psychological support. Without psychological support, they can’t move forward.”
Shen Biao said: "I can move without psychological support."
Ye Zi Nong said: "This is nonsense. Now if you walk to the living room, the footprints you leave will be the area you need to walk this way. If you cut off the solid area outside the footprints, there will be thousands of feet outside each footprint. Abyss, try walking again, I'm afraid you won't be able to take a single step. The ground beyond the footprints is psychological support. Just because you haven't stepped on it doesn't mean it doesn't work. The process of human life is the process of constantly looking for psychological support. Why, no one can live without understanding Marxism?”
Shen Biao was stunned for a while and said, "No wonder Sister Meng locked you up, this woman has a big heart."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Eat, after dinner you teach me how to use a lighter, and we can make something affordable."
Shen Biao said: "Don't use two tricks. If you can learn one, it will be good."
After finishing the meal, Ye Zi Nong put the dishes and chopsticks away in the sink, made two more cups of tea and brought them to the living room.
Shen Biao looked at the stockings hanging on the door and said, "Brother Nong, what does hanging stockings on the door mean? It's so ugly."
Ye Zi Nong said: "You warned me, if you touch the door, someone will die. How can the warning sign look good?"
Shen Biao seemed to understand a little, and stopped looking at the stockings. He took out a lighter and a portable oil bottle from his bag, pulled out the movement to refuel, adjusted the machine, put away the portable oil bottle, and said: "Look, this is called Fu Burn."
Shen Biao lit the lighter, stood on the table, and moved his thumb and index finger slowly and smoothly over the fire to extinguish the flame. After waiting for a few seconds, the machine went out, and then suddenly banged the table next to the machine. It burned miraculously again.
Ye Zi Nong was stunned and exclaimed, "It's amazing!"
Shen Biao said: "Then learn this"
Zizinong thought for a while and said, "No, this is too stagey. It doesn't have that casual look."
Shen Biao said: "Oh, you have to be stylish enough. Then learn the five-finger spin. This will definitely make you worthy." As he said that, he picked up the machine and started dancing it in his hand. Ye Zi Nong saw the video of Yi Feng on the bank of the Budapest river again. He was amazed.
Ye Zi Nong said: "This is too complicated and I have no confidence."
Shen Biao said: "It's simple... let's learn Jie Zihuo." He demonstrated it again, and it was indeed simple.
Ye Zi Nong said: "This is not powerful and can't control people."
Shen Biao thought for a while and said, "Then look at this dragon raising its head." Then he demonstrated it again.
Ye Zi Nong said: "This is quite stylish, I will imitate this dragon raising its head."
So, the two of them sat on a couch, one taught and the other studied, and time passed unknowingly. Ye Zi felt tired from studying agriculture, so he went to make two cups of coffee, and the two sat at the dining table and smoked.
one.
Shen Biao looked at his watch and said, "Brother Nong, it's getting late. I have to tell you something."
Ye Zinong asked: "What's the matter?"
Shen Biao said: "Don't I want to open a specialty store? The store has been purchased by a friend. Transfer fees, decoration, rent prepayment, stocking... all require money. Personalized stamps require professional equipment, such as etching. Everything is flat, and the hierarchical relationship and impact cannot achieve the casting effect at all. It also costs money to purchase equipment. I didn’t spend much money to go to the United States. I know the price of applying for a U.S. visa, and I am very grateful to Brother Nong for his help. You can’t pay this money. What I mean is that now the business is just getting started, and I really don’t have enough money. I will pay back the money when I feel better.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "I didn't do the work for you, and I didn't pay you the money. Lin Xuehong added the money to the cost of labor export. Can you give it to me? It was originally a piggybacking thing. You are lucky enough to catch up with me, so I should thank Lin Xuehong and everyone else. Thank you for your energy, otherwise this would happen by chance.
Shen Biao was silent for a while and said: "Sister Xuehong went to Berlin to find you. What happened in Budapest was all for the Luo family. You can say that, but I can't stand this kind of condescension, as if everyone else is a greedy person. Nong said: "Well, if you don't want to call yourself an angry young man, then can you rely on some support? In the case of Budapest, theoretically, if the labor party fulfills the contract, the deposit received by Lin Xuehong must be returned, otherwise no one involved in this matter will be refunded. People have become smugglers. I can give you a lift, but I am also a smuggler if I take your money. I can’t earn some money, but it must be money from your patriotism? Are you going to thank me or spend money to buy me to go to jail? Woolen cloth"
Shen Biao was stunned, remained silent for a while, and said, "Brother Nong, have you ever thought about my feelings?"
Ye Zi Nong thought for a while and said: "Then you can make me a national flag patch. It is made of pure copper and cast. It has the effect of engraving. I didn't miss home much in Berlin, but I have only been in Paris for ten days. She is home and in a good mood. Shen Biao said: "A stamp is not that valuable."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Is there anything in this world that is more priceless than a wish? If you want to show your face to the Chinese, I will take the opportunity to give you a lift. I am homesick, so you can support me. This is a back and forth. It’s very good, but if you describe it any more, it will lose its flavor.”
