Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 392 The Rumor of Liu Ziran
A Liao and I went to the apartment temporarily rented by Liu Ziran, but there was no one there.I called Liu Ziran, but no one answered.When I inquired with the neighbor next door, I moved out a long time ago.I thought to myself, Liu Ziran is avoiding me on purpose, so forget it, since he doesn't want to see me, why should I look for him.

So I found a place with A Liao to eat some BJ's snacks, my favorite braised stew.A Liao didn't seem to be interested in these things, and he always felt that they were unclean. He asked me strangely: "Who do you think invented it? You dare to eat this thing? Isn't this just like pigs entering the water?"

I smiled and explained to him: "I think it's all about being poor. When people are poor, they don't care so much. You see, if you are starved for three days, you will eat everything. When you were poor , don’t say that this pig is in the water, even lard is scarce, as long as there is a little bit of oil on it, it will be considered a Chinese New Year. In the age of material scarcity, people don’t have so many choices, so they have to use their ingenuity. I eat whatever I can eat, thinking over and over again, how to make different ways of doing the same thing. Just like I lost weight some time ago, one cucumber a night is fine for a day or two. After a long time, seeing cucumbers feels like throwing up. , What to do, thinking of ways to find ways to eat, what kind of cucumber, what kind of cucumber soup, what kind of cucumber dipping sauce. So, it’s all the same reason.”

A Liao said with a smile: "I just asked this casually. You almost wrote me a paper, as if you had experienced ****. I am older than you. Did you experience poverty when you were young?" Have you ever had food stamps? Have you ever experienced the era of a salary of 5 yuan a month?"

I cut it and said: "You are only a few years older than me. You speak as if you have experienced it. I heard from my parents that when I was young, the conditions in my family were not bad, but there must be material shortages." , I can imagine the poor days before.”

A Liao said with emotion: "Now life is better, my son doesn't even eat the leftovers, and throws things away on the table. What's wrong?"

I smiled and said: "You have to reason with him. Have you ever heard of the three-second rule? When you pick up something that falls on the ground and takes three seconds, it is clean and can be eaten. You instilled this theory in him since he was a child. Then you won’t feel dirty, it’s because you haven’t educated well since you were a child, and you don’t let him pick up things once they fall on the ground, and now you blame your son, it’s not fair.”

A Liao shook his head and said, "Where do you come from so many unreasonable ideas? I don't believe it. You dropped the food on the toilet floor and it took less than three seconds. How dare you pick it up and eat it?"

I said affirmatively: "In theory, I can. In fact, even if it falls on the toilet floor within three seconds, I can eat it, but I can't accept it visually. In fact, the taste is nothing, but the perception will be different. So comfortable. Besides, what are you taking food with you in the toilet?"

While we were chatting lively, two authentic BJ people came in. They were old customers at first glance, and they didn't even look at the list, so they shouted inside: "Go to the fat and add more juicy intestines and more parsley."

Then after the two of them sat down, they chatted aside, chatting.

I didn't pay much attention at first, until they mentioned a person's name, which caught my attention.

One of them, a middle-aged man wearing a military overcoat with his arms open, said: "Liu Ziran, you are so young, haven't you heard of it? It used to be number one in our Forty-Nine City! It was a boxing town in Kansai back then. , who kicked Jiang Menshen's character, he is a gangster. When he was majestic, who was he afraid of, who did he obey? Yaoyang, you know? Didn't you meet him with courtesy, and he was kicked out of BJ City in the end .”

The other guy, who was also a big and thick guy, asked: "Brother, how did I hear that Yaoyang left by himself? Now he is abroad."

The man in the army coat said: "He left by himself? How big is his family business? How could he be willing to leave by himself? He was forced to do nothing. But what about such a vicious person? First, his home was ransacked, Entering the game again, as soon as you come out, you will be involved in it, which is offending people!"

I became nervous when I heard it, and listened with pricked ears. Another man said: "It's nothing, it's just a rumor. I was on Dongsi Street two days ago, and I saw his newly opened shop cutting the ribbon. As I said, it was to cooperate with the investigation, not to go in, but to come out at that time."

I really couldn't help it, so I leaned over, sat next to them, and asked with a smile: "Those two big brothers, do you know why he got in?"

Jun Dayi looked at me and guessed that I was also a person who likes to hear about celebrity gossip, so he put on an inscrutable expression and said mysteriously: "I heard that he killed his fiancée."

I was so scared that I almost couldn't sit still, another big man said: "I can't? What a hatred, killing my fiancée, and people like them want to kill someone, but they still use their own hands?"

Jun Dayi, as if you were Liu Ziran yourself, said with a bit of anger: "If you find out that your wife is sleeping with your brother, what will you do? No matter how rich you are, you are still human!"

The other nodded and said: "Ah, that's how it is. I can't bear it either. It's not too much to kill this pair of dogs. They are so powerful and powerful, and they are handsome. Whoever can be seen is not bad. Let's go!" Stealing people outside, is this fucking out of his mind?"

Jun Dayi shook his head and said: "How can we ordinary people know what their rich people think? People outside say that this Liu Ziran has a special hobby, that he can eat both men and women, and that what he plays is called a flamboyant, and ordinary people can bear it? "

Another said: "Tch, what can't be overwhelmed, give me money, what can I do?"

Jun Dayi said: "I told you to sleep with him, are you willing?"

Another replied: "This one is a bit more difficult."

Jun Dayi said: "That's it, it's disgusting to think about it, no wonder his fiancée went out to find a good friend, we don't understand this rich man's world. Hey, brother, what are you doing?" After finishing speaking, looked at me.

I hurriedly explained: "I know Liu Ziran well, and I think he's pretty nice? Then what happened later? Did his fiancée die? Has the adulterer been caught?"

Jun Dayi looked at my outfit again and asked, "Do you still know Liu Ziran?"

I smiled and said, "It's not considered acquaintance, it's just that we did business together before. At that time, he hadn't developed well, and we haven't contacted each other these years. How is his fiancée doing?"

The military overcoat replied: "It's dead, someone saw it being carried out covered with a white cloth. As for the adulterer, I don't know."

I took a deep breath and said, "Dead? Do you know the name of that adulterer?"

Jun Dayi said: "An adulterer still needs a fucking name, an adulterer is an adulterer, not to mention Liu Ziran, even if we saw him, we would have to break his legs. If there is a need in this year, there is no way, I have to go Stealing people, I hate this kind of prostitute who seduces and seduces married women, I beat him every time I see him!"

The other heard it and immediately joked: "Why are you so angry? It's not about stealing your wife. You haven't heard that a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than stealing, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal. From ancient times to the present, isn't it always like this? Temptation is what makes people make mistakes. My wife sleeps for more than ten years, who doesn’t get tired of it? Let me tell you, it should be rotated every ten years, so that everyone will have a sense of freshness, and reduce domestic violence and divorce rates. The marriage system can be changed, valid for ten years. If you can live on, you can continue to renew the contract. If you can’t, you can immediately terminate the contract, and you can exchange it at the same price. The price difference, do you think everyone is happy?"

The military coat snorted and said, "What kind of logic is this? According to you, can we men be exchanged at such an equivalent price? Like if your wife wants to replace you with me, does she still have to give it to me?" Wife’s money? Don’t ask me if I agree with you? You are buying and selling people, do you understand?”

I don't want to listen to it anymore, where is all this going?

After leaving in a hurry with A Liao, I asked A Liao: "BJ, do you have any acquaintances? Can you inquire about Liu Ziran's news and see where he is?"

A Liao nodded and said, "Then I'll do it."

I nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work, you don't have to worry about the affairs here, just talk to me with money."

Early the next morning, Xiaoyue and I arrived at the airport early, waiting for the arrival of the Smith family.

But after waiting all day, no one from the Smith family was seen.I asked Xiaoyue to confirm whether this is today's flight.Xiaoyue checked again, and hurriedly said: "They changed the ticket, and it arrived yesterday."

I hurriedly asked: "Can he get through on the phone? Why didn't he contact us when he landed?"

Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "I've been calling all day, but the phone doesn't work."

I thought to myself that this foreign devil is so unreliable, what does this mean?

When I got back to the hotel, I was a little restless, and felt that something was wrong, so I said to Xiaoyue, "Someone must have intercepted the beard. You should call the company immediately and ask the company to confirm that Smith came to China. How many more people know?"

Xiaoyue immediately understood what I meant, made a phone call, asked around and said, "Not many people know about it, Mr. Dong and Assistant Li know about it on Mr. Dong's side, and on our side, only me, you and Meili know. "

I thought for a long time, picked up the phone and called Meili, and asked, "Lili, who did you tell about Smith's coming to China?"

Meili hesitated for a while, and said, "No one knows, I didn't tell anyone, do you doubt me?"

If she didn't ask this question, maybe I really didn't doubt her, but when she asked, I really felt that she had a problem, so I asked again and said: "Are you sure this news hasn't been leaked to anyone, will you?" Could it be a slip of the tongue? Or where it was written so that people can see it.”
