"Where is your mother?" Qin Kexin asked. There were tears in her eyes when she heard this. Women are more emotional, not to mention Wang Xudong's understatement, but there is such a sad past.
"My mother passed away when I was very young. I don't have much memory of my mother now. I was raised by my father alone since I was a child. It was hard for him both inside and outside. He was so hard
I have to bear most of the responsibility for his early death." Wang Xudong sighed, his eyes moist, because sitting here, he would unnaturally think of his father sitting in front of the sewing machine working non-stop.
"Don't be sad, uncle will be happy when he sees you like you are now." Qin Kexin walked over, took Wang Xudong's hand, took out a tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Wang Xudong's eyes.
"I'm not sad, I just feel a little emotional about coming here." Wang Xudong smiled and said, but did not let go of Qin Kexin's hand.
"I have an idea and I would like you to help me with my advice." Wang Xudong said to Qin Kexin.
"What?"
"I want to reopen this store." Wang Xudong lit a cigarette again.
"You're here to open this store?" Qin Kexin was very surprised.
"Yes." Wang Xudong nodded.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm serious, otherwise why would I bring you here? I'm here to ask for your opinion."
"Can you make leather shoes?" Qin Kexin asked.
"Yes, I have been living here with my dad since I was a few years old. I started helping my dad when I was about ** years old. I have been helping my dad make leather shoes until I joined the army. Although it has been many years
I haven’t done it, but I think my craftsmanship won’t be any worse. Our family’s shoe-making craftsmanship is passed down from our ancestors.” Wang Xudong answered.
"But the question is, is there anyone who can make customized leather shoes now? You said it yourself, the business of your father's shop was very poor after it opened."
"My dad is a pure craftsman, not a businessman. That's why he has good craftsmanship but can't support himself. I have thought about it carefully. It's not that this shop has no business, but my dad doesn't know how to do it.
The management will not make corresponding changes according to the changes of the times. Moreover, I don't want how much money this store can make. My requirements are not high. It is enough if I can feed myself and not starve myself to death." Wang Xudong
He said with a smile.
"Even if these don't matter, where do you have time? You don't go to work anymore?" Qin Kexin asked.
Just when Wang Xudong wanted to answer Qin Kexin, Qin Kexin's cell phone rang, and Qin Kexin took the phone: "Hey, Wanqi, um, she's outside, um, yes, I'm outside with him, we just finished eating,
What happened? What did he tell me? What did he say? He didn’t say anything to me. What happened? Resign?"
When Qin Kexin answered the call, she stood up and looked at Wang Xudong with wide eyes.
"Okay, I understand, I...I will persuade him, I want to ask clearly about the situation, okay, bye." Su Wanqi over there obviously said a lot to Qin Kexin, she should have told Qin Kexin everything Wang Xudong said today,
Let Qin Kexin persuade Wang Xudong.
Wang Xudong got up, walked to a small door inside and opened it. Inside was a small warehouse, which could also be said to be a utility room. Next to the utility room was a small toilet. Wang Xudong took out a rag from inside and wet it with the faucet.
After that, I took it to the store and wiped it on the cabinet to remove the dust on it.
"You resigned?" Qin Kexin hung up the phone and walked to Wang Xudong and asked.
"Well, yes." Wang Xudong nodded.
"Why do you want to resign?" Qin Kexin continued to ask.
"Didn't she already tell you?"
"I want to hear the real reason."
"What I told her is the real reason."
"I want you to tell me your reasons." Qin Kexin asked seriously.
Wang Xudong shook his head helplessly, put down the rag in his hand, and said to Qin Kexin: "Two reasons. The first reason is that you know my character. I don't want to cause trouble to others. Su Wanqi and I are good friends, and she treats me very well."
Okay, needless to say more about the current situation in the company, me being in the company is not a good thing for her or the company. Rather than causing trouble to others, I might as well leave. The second reason is also the main reason,
The life in the company now is not the life I want."
"Then what kind of life do you want?"
"It has nothing to do with interests, ignore right and wrong, and just be an ordinary person quietly. Just like the little security guard in the past, or this store now." Wang Xudong pointed to the store.
Qin Kexin looked at Wang Xudong blankly.
"Do you think I'm crazy? You can't understand me, right?" Wang Xudong smiled and continued wiping.
"No, I understand you." Qin Kexin looked at Wang Xudong and said.
"People who have experienced too many things in the end long for a simple life that is plain and healthy, without disputes, quiet, and comfortable. Just like my dad, he came back once before he died and he said to me that when he retired from the army, he would
Just go home, plant flowers, do nothing, and live the most peaceful life." Qin Kexin said seriously.
Wang Xudong did not refute Qin Kexin's words, nor did he answer Qin Kexin's words. While wiping, he raised his head and said to Qin Kexin after a long time: "Thank you."
"I will call Wanqi and ask her to respect your choice." Qin Kexin continued.
"Okay." Wang Xudong nodded.
"What can I do for you?" Qin Kexin asked Wang Xudong.
Wang Xudong raised his head and looked at Qin Kexin, and then said: "Give me your feet."
"What?" Qin Kexin was startled.
Wang Xudong walked to the workbench, flipped through it, then placed two pieces of white paper on a board on the ground, and said to Qin Kexin: "Take off your shoes and stand up."
"What are you doing?" Qin Kexin was confused by Wang Xudong.
"Just stand up." Wang Xudong did not explain.
Qin Kexin didn't know what Wang Xudong was going to do, but she took off her high heels anyway, then stood up on the white paper, with one foot stepping on a piece of white paper.
Wang Xudong took a pencil, squatted at Qin Kexin's feet, and drew shapes on the white paper with the pencil facing Qin Kexin's feet.
"Are you going to make shoes for me? Are you measuring my feet?" Qin Kexin roughly guessed what Wang Xudong was going to do.
After Wang Xudong drew the foot shape, he took out several professional rulers and measured Qin Kexin's feet up, down, left, right, front, and back in different directions, and then recorded the data in an old notebook. After a few minutes, Wang Xudong closed the
Benzi said to Qin Kexin: "Okay, okay, miss, you can come down now."
"You still need to measure your feet like this when making leather shoes? So professional?" Qin Kexin asked with a smile.
Wang Xudong carefully collected the drawing paper on the board and placed it in a cabinet. (To be continued)
