Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 996 The Strange Bai Family

After being questioned by me, Bai Shijia said calmly: "Of course it can't, there is no such person in the world, but we can get close to him and force ourselves to look at everything with an objective perspective. It's been a long time , you will find that this world is completely different from the world in your eyes! This also has layers and processes!"

I groaned and said, "I understand now! I don't feel sad or happy. I have seen a lot of people who are enlightened. A little bit of learning is all it takes! But if you do this, can you still be happy? If the swordsman If you can’t be happy with your grievances and become an eminent monk, is the Jianghu still a Jianghu? Wouldn’t it become a monk’s temple, that’s really a flower and a world, and everything becomes dull!”

Bai Shijia shook his head and said: "I just said that when you deal with everything, you can do this, so that you will not be driven by emotions and make wrong choices! To give the simplest example, a thief Before you were caught, you stole your things. Don’t you hate it so much that you want to catch him and kill him! But you really caught him and watched others beat him to death, didn’t you? He will be unbearable again, and he will tell his miserable life experience. There is an 80-year-old mother who is seriously ill in bed, and there are children who are waiting to be fed. How should you deal with it? But you were controlled by your anger from the very beginning , Where do you come from thinking about why he wants to steal things?

Any matter should be viewed with debate, this is what I want to be reasonable! "

I gradually understood what he meant, and when the car arrived, he opened the door, got out of the car, poked his head out and said, "Why don't you come and have a seat?"

Of course I am very interested in continuing to chat with him, mainly because I want to know who is he?

His community is the most dilapidated and messy community in the neighborhood. There is no gate in the community. On both sides of the street in the community, there are small vendors who buy vegetables and fruits everywhere. There is garbage everywhere. It looks very long. Time has passed.

After passing through this messy small market, he finally came downstairs to his house, a five-storey old-fashioned apartment. When he went up to the second floor, Guan Ze hesitated downstairs and said, "Shall I go up with you?"

The Bai family has seen through all this a long time ago and said: "Places with a lot of people are often the safest! If something happens to me, if something happens to me, the old lady on the street will rush up immediately without needing the police, don't worry Go! However, I originally wanted you to come up and sit down with me!"

Guan Ze explained with a little embarrassment: "No, I was worried that the car would be unsafe outside, but I thought about where the car was parked. It would be fine if there were security guards, so I thought about going up for a ride too. I'm a little thirsty!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said: "It's not fair to lie, you are stupid enough, you didn't see it, our brother Bai is not an ordinary person, he can read people's psychology, you still tell him these things No, it seems redundant! Let’s go, go up and study!”

While going upstairs, Bai Shijia rescued Guan Ze and said, "This brother is an honest man at first glance, a rare honest man!"

I made a sharp cut and said, "To say people are honest now is to scold people! Honest people in our age will starve to death!"

While opening the door, Bai Shijia turned around and objected: "In this day and age, only honest people can gain a foothold. Isn't the first requirement for you to employ people is to be honest? Otherwise, why would you choose this brother as your most personal driver? "

I hummed and said, "I chose him because he is reliable!"

When I entered the door, I was taken aback. One word describes it: the house is empty.

I just feel that this room is not even as good as the rented room in my university, except that it is a bit bigger and empty inside. If Guan Ze hadn't followed me, I would have run away.

Bai Shijia said a little embarrassedly: "I rented this house, and there is no furniture in it, and I don't need it very much!" Then, he found a small bench for the two of us, it was a real small bench, and then He set up a small table, put three teacups, and walked into the kitchen.

I observed the whole house, three bedrooms and one living room, the entire living room had an oil painting on the wall that I couldn't understand, and there wasn't even a dining table.

The bedroom can be seen from the living room, which is just a bed and a writing desk. The doors of the other two rooms are closed, and I don't know what is inside.

Hearing the sound of boiling water, Bai Shijia was holding an old-fashioned crooked kettle with black smoke in his left hand, and a white tea bar with the words "Unity and Progress" written on it in his right hand. It looked like a product from 80 to [-], he laughed. He said to us: "The equipment is a bit crude, deal with it!"

When the tea in the white tea bar arrived in our cups, I smelled a tea fragrance, which I had never smelled before, like jasmine tea, and a little bit of Longjing fragrance.

I couldn't wait to take a sip, but Bai Shijia stopped me and said, "Wait, don't worry, this tea is best drunk when it's around 40 degrees!"

I looked at him suspiciously and said, "How do you know when it's 40 degrees?"

Bai Shijia wanted to answer like an idiot and said, "Touch it with your hands and you'll know. The temperature that the human body can accept is not hot. It's about 40 degrees. I can't be very accurate. I can't take it." Take the thermometer!"

I knew I was asking a stupid question, so I smiled awkwardly and asked, "You seem to be living in a reinforced concrete jungle! Why don't you have any household appliances at home? Don't you watch TV?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said, "Don't look!"

I oh, and asked again: "Do you always have to do laundry?"

Bai Shijia smiled and said: "Hand wash, I don't have many clothes, I just take two suits to the dry cleaner and it's fine!"

I asked in disbelief: "There should be a refrigerator, right? What do you do with the leftovers?"

Bai Shijia said naturally: "I don't even have a gas stove, where are the leftovers?"

I curled my lips and said, "Do you want to live the life of an ascetic monk? Then you shouldn't come to the city!"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said, "I don't have one! It's just that our daily life is a bit simpler, isn't that normal? Plus, we have no source of income recently, so naturally we should save some money!"

I thought he was going to talk about the main point, and I was looking forward to how he would borrow money from me or cheat me of some money.

Unfortunately, I was wrong again. While entertaining us for tea, he said, "I don't have such high requirements for material needs. I can eat enough and have a place to live! Don't you believe me?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, it's just that there are too few people like you! But what are you doing this for? Don't tell me, you don't even have the most basic ability to make money!"

Bai Shijia smiled lightly, didn't say anything, just asked us to drink tea.

This tea made me feel refreshed. I must have drank good tea a lot, but I couldn't taste the tea at all, and I didn't even know what kind of tea it was.

I looked at Guan Ze and saw that he also liked it very much.

After taking a sip, I feel fresh in the mouth, sweet in the throat, and warm in the stomach. The most important thing is that the sweet taste lasts for a long time and lasts for a long time.

I asked curiously: "What kind of tea is this? It's so delicious? Yuqian Longjing is not as sweet as it is. It is so fragrant and not as strong as Dahongpao. It's a bit like scented tea, but the taste can't be so long-lasting." Come back?"

Guan Ze showed me the tea leaves in the mug and said, "This is a kind of herbal medicine given to me by the Tibetans. They are called Hariji Sangye. It has no traditional Chinese medicine properties, but it refreshes the mind and nourishes the lungs!"

I looked at the tea leaves that looked like earthworms floating in the tea mug, and frowned, thinking that this is some kind of Gu used by ethnic minorities, right?
Guan Ze didn't care so much, he picked up the tea mug and poured himself another cup, slowly savoring it.

I was too embarrassed to ask how much the tea cost, so I found a topic and pointed to the painting on the wall and asked, "Is this painting an oil painting or a color painting?"

Bai Shijia replied proudly: "It's the crayon painting "Mount Weiweiweita"!"

I looked at it again, and sneered: "You are testing me again, right? I really know something about this painting, do I need to tell the story? It is nothing more than a down-and-out writer who killed a doctor who saved his wife. a picture of a painting, isn't it?"

Bai Shijia hummed and said, "It's that painting!"

I made a cut and said, "Although I haven't seen the real one, I've seen the fake one. How can there be any shadow of the real one in your painting? Tell me, what is your painting? It's blurry. , I can't see anything!"

Bai Shijia walked over, directly took off the painting, handed it to me for analysis: "Look carefully, am I copying? I am based on the story of that painting to continue the writer's final story. A painting."

I groaned, and said in surprise: "Isn't his last painting the one he painted when he killed the doctor?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said: "No, it should be the last painting he painted before committing suicide!"

I looked at the painting again, and then I realized something. A man who looked like a painter was sitting in a bloody bathtub, with blood on one hand, and the ground was covered with blood. The painter's eyes were wide open. Big ones, as if there is something in the pupils, it looks extremely terrifying.

I took a breath and said, "Don't say it, your painting is so realistic!"

Bai Shijia asked me: "Do you like it? I like it for you!"

I hastily waved my hand and said, "Thanks, I don't know anything about these artistic attainments, so it would be a waste for me!"

Bai Shijia didn't force it, and hung the painting back on the wall again.

We chatted for a while, and I asked him, "Then what do you do for a living now? Do you paint?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said, "No, painting is one of my hobbies. My paintings are only given away, never sold for money!"

I sighed and said: "Then I can understand, you artists have to experience the sufferings of the people in order to draw good works, once you have enough food and clothing, it is difficult to draw cynical works, right? That's why his muscles and bones, and his body and skin, are able to entrust you with great responsibility!"

Bai Shijia wasn't angry either, but just said lightly: "Do you like to be sarcastic?"

I didn't speak, but Guan Ze nodded stupidly and said, "Yes, he has always been mean and mean, and he is well-known in our company!"

I glared at him and said, "How can you choke to death even drinking tea!?"

Bai Shijia laughed loudly and said: "This made me see a little bit, you are approachable to your subordinates, they respect you more, but not fear, trust rather than fear! This shows that your management level is very high, personal strong ability!"

I curled my lips and said, "Do you like to analyze people? Or do you prefer to analyze me? Do you have any plans for me? Why do I feel that you specially arranged for that tea party to meet me?"

Bai Shijia said with a smile: "I don't have that much talent, and I don't have that much free time. I'm quite interested in you and me! I just want to know how I managed to become the top leader of the Yunli Group in just over a year. Where are you now? Where the hell are you? Do you have great abilities?"

I looked at him defensively and asked, "What the hell are you trying to do? Are you going to steal my money?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said: "No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything malicious! I'm just curious!"

I snorted and said, "Curiosity killed the cat! I have a good impression of you, but it's not so polite for you to inquire about other people's backgrounds like this!"

Bai Shijia hastily explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm really curious! Then I won't ask any more. After meeting you this time, I have come to the conclusion that you are an interesting, cautious person with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. Like me before Same, very good!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said: "I use you to evaluate me? After evaluating me, can I write your evaluation on my resume in the future, so that I can find a job easier?"

Bai Shijia hummed and said, "That's not necessarily true! It might be useful!"

I cut it and said: "I will never look for a job again in my life, only a job looks for me! It's really not my self-confidence, it's because I do have the capital now!"

Bai Shijia smiled and said: "Oh, by the way, I will add another comment for you, arrogant and confident!"

I felt that there was nothing more to talk about, so I decided to leave. Although I was very curious about him, I didn't have to know who he was. What was going on?

Stand up, ready to go.

But Bai Shijia said: "Send me home, shall I treat you to dinner?"

I looked around his house and said, "Let's forget it?"

Bai Shijia waved his hands and said: "My house is definitely not good! There is a noodle shop downstairs, the business is very good, and the taste is not bad. I often go to his house to eat! Don't mind, just eat something?"

I thought for a while and said, "I'm not that hypocritical, as long as I can eat enough!"

Bai Shijia nodded happily.

When I was about to leave, I specifically told him: "Do you have enough money? Don't finish eating by then, and you say you don't have any money!"

Bai Shijia replied without hesitation: "I've brought enough, don't worry! Eat whatever you want!"
