Zhang Daxian soon understood that ideals are full and reality is very skinny. Huang Chunli's Tianzhu shop did not have much business at all. Although there were indeed many people who came to visit the flower and bird art market on May Day, few people patronized Tianzhu.
This store is partly related to the decline in popularity of literary games in recent years, and partly because Huang Chunli’s Tianzhu store is not on the main street of the market.
Zhang Chi was not idle either. He took this opportunity to carefully inspect the Dzi beads in the store, hoping to find another fire source stone among them, but this hope was quickly dashed.
The customers invited by Huang Chunli came relatively intensively, and they all came to pick up the goods on the morning of May Day. Zhang Chi followed Huang Chunli's instructions, inspected the goods on site, and handed the goods to the customers while collecting the balance. This kind of thing was not difficult for him at all.
It'll be all done in two hours.
Zhang Chi stayed in the store all day. Except for the three customers who had made appointments to pick up the goods, there were less than five customers in the store. This is not like the prosperous business Huang Chunli said at all. With this bleak business situation
, Zhang Chi even doubted whether Huang Chunli would lose money if she paid herself a daily salary of 150 yuan.
The business on the second day was even slower. There was not even a single customer the whole morning. Zhang Chi picked up a newspaper while bored and noticed a news item on it. Tianyu Group's new anti-cancer drug was launched and had a remarkable effect on the treatment of advanced cancer.
What attracts Zhang Chi are the four words Tianyu Group. Isn’t the proprietress of Tianyu Group Huang Chunxiao? The entire page is almost an exclusive interview with Lin Chaolong, the president of Tianyu Group. Zhang Chi looked at Lin Chaolong’s photo, a very elegant middle-aged man.
, he should be Lin Daiyu’s father.
There was a cough in front of the counter, and he looked away from the newspaper. He thought a customer was coming, but when he looked up, it was Zheng Qiu Shan, the film policeman in the area.
Zheng Qiushan looked at Zhang Chi. He was deeply impressed by Zhang Chi. This kid seemed to have come here to cause trouble more than a month ago. I wonder why he showed up at the Tianzhu store today? Could he be Huang Chunli's newly hired clerk?
"Where's Boss Huang?"
Zhang Chi said: "I have to go out for something. If you have something to do, come back after the festival."
"Young man, do you know where she went?"
Zhang Chi saw something secret from Zheng Qiushan's expression, and said deliberately: "She didn't tell me clearly, she probably went on a date."
Zheng Qiushan suddenly became nervous when he heard this: "A date? She...when will she find someone?"
Zhang Chi was secretly happy that this policeman was really interested in Huang Chunli. He smiled and said: "I don't know, women have to find a home. Besides, my master is not young anymore, he is already an older leftover girl."
"Where did she go? Do you have her contact information?"
Zhang Chi said: "I have her phone number, but she turned it off. Maybe she doesn't want to be disturbed by others."
Zheng Qiushan said: "Young man, you just called her master, are you apprenticed to her?" After all, he has done criminal investigation, so he can easily find out from the details.
Zhang Chi nodded.
"Have you noticed anyone who has been close to her lately?" People tend to get angry easily when they are in a hurry. Although Zheng Qiushan is not angry, the fire in his heart also has firepower. The relaxed fire source stone quietly gained 1000+ firepower.
The fire of ignorance.
Zhang Chi deliberately pretended to be vigilant: "Why should I tell you?"
"Your master and I are good friends. I can't let her be deceived, right?"
Zhang Chi chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my master is smart and will not be deceived."
Zheng Qiushan said: "That's not necessarily true. There are everyone in society now. Your master has a simple temperament and a soft ear. If you meet a guy who cheats money and sex..."
Zhang Chi glared: "How can I talk about you? You can't expect my master to do well? You have to be unlucky for her to be happy, right?"
Zheng Qiushan's old face turned hot: "That's not what I meant."
Zhang Chi said: "Then what do you mean? Oh, are you interested in my master and don't want my master to be good to others?"
Zheng Qiushan was shocked by this guy on the spot, and his face turned red. This kid is not that old, so why does he have so many thoughts? He doesn't know how to be merciful to others? I'm still wearing a police uniform.
Zheng Qiushan said awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense. This is my job scope, and I have the responsibility to protect the safety of merchants... It's nothing, I'll leave first..." He turned around and ran out, almost in front of the door.
I bumped into an old man.
Even though the old man was over seventy years old, he was very agile. He turned to the side and avoided Zheng Qiushan, and said angrily: "You are blind, don't you know how to read the road?"
Zheng Qiushan suppressed his anger and said angrily: "How can you talk? Who is blind?" Only then did he see clearly that the old man was skinny and thin, with his waist bent like a shrimp. He was secretly glad that he didn't touch him.
Go up, if you knock down this old man, I'm afraid you'll get into a lot of trouble.
The old man was very angry. When he heard Zheng Qiu hit him on the top of the mountain, he rolled his eyes, raised his crutch and said, "Believe it or not, I will whip you?"
Zheng Qiushan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He went out today and didn't read the almanac. The little one inside was wilted and the old man in front of him was so domineering. He smiled and said: "Master, blame me, blame me for everything. Please calm down." This is definitely not the place.
After staying for a long time, Zheng Qiushan rubbed oil on his feet and hurried away.
The old man scolded: "How great are the police? When I was a policeman, you were still wearing crotchless pants." The anger value is 3000.
This was the first time that Zhang Daxian met an old man with such a hot temper. From his tone, he seemed to be a retired old policeman. He opened his mouth sweetly and greeted: "Uncle, don't be angry. It will hurt your health. Come and buy something."
Right? Please come in. All the dzi beads in my store are top-quality, carefully selected. Do you like any of them?"
The old man was angrily, and he slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground twice. He still said angrily: "What is it? How dare you talk back to me."
Zhang Chi moved a chair in front of the old man: "Uncle, why don't you sit down and take a rest first?"
The old man glanced at Zhang Chi and found the fat little man with a cute smile quite pleasing to his eye. He nodded and said, "I won't sit down anymore. Where is that girl Chunli?"
Zhang Chi was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought he was looking for a client, but unexpectedly he came to see someone again. He told Huang Chunli about going out.
The old man was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Why are you going out so well?"
Zhang Chi said: "If you always have something to do, tell me the same thing."
The old man glanced at Zhang Chi: "Tell you, who are you to her? Are you in charge?"
Zhang Chi said: "It depends on what happened."
The old man said: "It's not a big deal. I have a little gadget here. She always wanted to take it in the past, but I couldn't bear to give it to her. No, I will go to Australia to retire in Australia tomorrow. There is no use keeping this thing.
So I took it and sold it to her. Since she is not here, I can only find another buyer."
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle, don't leave in a hurry. Why don't you take that thing out and let me grow an eye."
The old man looked at Zhang Chi with a look of disdain on his face. Immortal Zhang knew that because of his tender face, others would think that he was inexperienced.
After thinking for a while, the old man took out a cloth bag and opened it layer by layer. Inside was a celadon bottle about an inch long.
Zhang Chi recognized that this should be a medicine bottle with hand-painted flowers and birds on it. The writing on it indicated that it was for the exclusive use of Tzu Chi Hall. Zhang Chi remembered that Tzu Chi Hall was not the clinic that Huang Chunli's father, Mr. Huang, used to open.
The old man said: "This bottle was handmade during the Kangxi period, and it has a signature on it."
Zhang Chi asked: "How old is Tzu Chi Hall?"
The old man said: "It has been passed down from the late Ming Dynasty. It is said that the ancestor of the Huang family was the imperial physician of Emperor Shunzhi. This bottle is naturally old and is a genuine antique."
Zhang Chi pretended to look at it and found that the mouth of the bottle was still sealed with beeswax, proving that the bottle of medicine had never been opened: "Uncle, is there any medicine in this?"
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, yes, but it's been almost three hundred years, and all the medicine has lost its effectiveness."
