After the divorce, I became a mountain god

While asking the question, Xu Boan looked at the face of the man in the suit curiously.

At the same time, my mind is constantly searching for matching memories.

It seems that no suitable match can be found.

Could it be that I had encountered a scammer?

When the man in the suit saw that Xu Bo'an didn't recognize him, he didn't play dumb and immediately introduced himself: "I'm Tong Xiaojian!"

Xu Boan muttered doubtfully: "Tong Xiaojian?"

It seemed that there was this name in my memory, but it was very different from the image of the man in a suit in front of me. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a world of difference between them.

The man in the suit nodded and said, "Yes, Tong Xiaojian, the fat one. They called me and Liang Pinchao the 'Heng Ha Erjiang'! Do you still remember him?"

Xu Boan was shocked, and fragments of his past memories flashed through his mind like shooting stars.

I have an impression! It is a very impressive impression.

That was when Xu Boan had just graduated from school and started working in the civil engineering industry.

After graduating from graduate school, Xu Bo'an entered the civil engineering industry, but he did not save much time compared to other employees with a bachelor's degree or even a secondary technical school degree.

After arriving at the construction site, you have to start from scratch.

According to the rules of the civil engineering industry, new graduates must follow a master during their internship.

The master that Xu Bo'an followed at that time was Liang Pinchao, mentioned by the man in a suit.

Liang Pinchao and Tong Xiaojian were two fat guys in the project management department on the construction site at that time, each weighing about 230 to 240 kilograms.

One of them has a catchphrase "Ha", and the other likes to respond with "Hum" whenever someone asks him a question, so some old employees tease them as the Heng and Ha generals.

An Ahem, an Aha!
Of course, Xu Boan and other new interns and trainees don’t dare to call them that.

The master that Xu Bo'an followed at that time was Liang Pinchao, who was Ah Heng. He had a cold personality and was not good at communicating with others. This gave him an obvious disadvantage when he first started taking in apprentices.

A lot of the book knowledge learned in school cannot be integrated in a timely and effective manner with the real work problems faced on the construction site.

This results in many new employees not knowing what they don't know, so they have no way to ask. Liang Pinchao happens to be a quiet person, which makes Xu Boan's work difficult.

Fortunately, Tong Xiaojian is a kind-hearted person. Since they are both from the engineering department and often get together during get off work and off work, most of the time, it is Tong Xiaojian who teaches Xu Boan some things about work.

This resulted in Liang Pinchao only having the title of a master, but the work of teaching apprentices was basically done by Tong Xiaojian.

Therefore, Xu Boan has always had a good impression of Tong Xiaojian.

But in my memory, Tong Xiaojian was a man with a face full of flesh, and he had to walk with his legs apart. He was completely different from the man in front of me who was lean, had a square face and three-dimensional features and was in a suit.

Xu Boan didn't see any trace of the Master Aha in his memory in this person.

Of course, at that time, new employees like Xu Bo'an did not dare to call old employees by their nicknames. They either called them Brother So-and-so or Worker So-and-so.

"You... you are really a child laborer!" Xu Boan said hesitantly. Because that was how he was called in the beginning, Xu Boan got used to it.

There are some customary rules on the construction site. When newcomers address old employees, those with official positions are addressed by their official positions. For those without any official positions, the word "gong" is added after their names to show politeness and respect.

After all, he is a worker, so this is understandable.

However, Xu Bo'an has never quite understood this, and now often calls internet celebrities "teachers".

According to normal logic, shouldn’t he be called “a certain worker”? After all, being an internet celebrity is also a job!

Hearing Xu Bo'an's familiar name, Tong Xiaojian smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's me. The change is quite big, isn't it? In fact, even when I think back, I can't believe that I was able to lose weight from more than 240 pounds at my peak to more than 130 pounds now! It's like I was reborn. I'm quite proud just thinking about it."

Xu Boan nodded and said, "You should be proud. It's incredible. I think you can start a live broadcast and teach people how to lose weight. This is much better than many Internet celebrities who teach others how to lose weight."

Tong Xiaojian smiled shyly and said, "I am a rough man and can't do these delicate jobs. You know I only graduated from junior high school and got a job as a labor dispatcher on a construction site. Later, because I couldn't change jobs, get promoted, or get a raise, I ran away in a rage. After I got out, I tried to do a few small businesses, but I didn't make much money. I didn't have any other good options. By chance, I joined a real estate agency and started selling second-hand houses. If you have any needs in this regard, please feel free to contact me. The red light is almost over, so I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Boan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take note of the child laborer, and we'll keep in touch anytime."

The red light ended, the yellow light turned on, the street lights came on, and the traffic slowly passed by.

Qu Feifan said for fun: "Brother Xu, your colleague is amazing. He actually lost nearly half of his body weight! This is not weight loss at all, it's basically a full-body plastic surgery!"

Qu Feifan didn't mean to listen to Xu Boan and Tong Xiaojian's conversation, but after all, they were so close to each other, it was impossible for him not to hear it, so he might as well chat about this topic for a few words. Not only did it have the effect of flattering them slightly, but it also gave him a topic to talk about, so it wouldn't be so awkward and silent.

This kind of chat talk is also Qu Feifan's little trick. When praising someone, it is not necessary to praise the person himself to be effective.

A more effective way is to flatter his family, friends, relatives and people around him. This way of chatting is not only subtle, but also can easily arouse the other party's desire to chat.

Sure enough, after hearing Qu Feifan's words, Xu Bo'an said with emotion: "Yes, I didn't expect that he would be so perseverant. It's incredible."

Qu Feifan nodded repeatedly, and said in a tone of "I agree very much", "That's right, it's incredible. Some people I know can lose 35 pounds or even 23 pounds, and they post something like 'The sun always comes after the rain, and it's up to us to change our fate' on our Moments. I think if you can lose this little weight just by having diarrhea, what's there to brag about? Compared with your colleague, these people are as weak as scum in part-time jobs."

Hearing this, Xu Bo'an glanced at Qu Feifan and said jokingly, "Mr. Qu, if I'm not mistaken, these friends in your circle of friends are probably all women, and they should be beautiful women." Qu Feifan was surprised and said, "Huh? How did you know?"

Xu Boan laughed loudly and said, "Rich guys like you are surrounded by a bunch of pretty girls. These people have good figures because they caught your eye. After all, you can't add someone who is too fat as your friend!
In other words, these people weigh only a little over 100 pounds or even less than 100 pounds. If they lose 3-5 pounds, it is because they are self-disciplined to maintain their figure. If they really lose half of their weight, they will be just skeletons, and they will definitely become skeletons.”

Qu Feifan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true, but your colleague is really awesome. No, I'll have to ask him in person how to lose weight when I get a chance. I've been drinking a lot lately and I've gained some weight."

After chatting for a while, we arrived at the restaurant.

Zhang Kai led the way, got out of the car first, and quickly pointed to the empty parking space next to him, asking Qu Feifan to park there.
The donkey meat tasted really good. The three of them happily ate together and had a few drinks.

Although Xu Boan had some hangover liquid, it was obviously not necessary to take it at a dinner party where people just drank a few drinks to enjoy the meal. After the meal, both the host and the guests were happy.

Qu Feifan called someone to drive over and directly settled Xu Bo'an in a star-rated hotel under his own business for a lunch break.

Xu Bo'an did not refuse. There was nothing urgent anyway, so it didn't matter if he stayed in Jiangcheng for a while. If there really was something going on in Dongjiang, it would only take an hour or so and would not delay anything.

After a light sleep of more than half an hour, Xu Bo'an got up and took a shower. When he was about to put on his clothes, a business card fell out of his pocket.

It was the one that Tong Xiaojian gave him at the traffic light during lunch.

Thinking that I have nothing to do, I might as well go and see Tong Xiaojian.

Xu Boan is a nostalgic person. Tong Xiaojian was quite nice to him in the beginning. Moreover, after Xu Boan's work improved, Tong Xiaojian had already resigned and he had no chance to do anything for him.

Today, Xu Bo'an is full of energy and has a solid foundation. If possible, he should help Tong Xiaojian.

After all, there is an old saying that goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

Thinking of this, Xu Boan called Qu Feifan.

This time when I came to Jiangcheng, it was Qu Feifan who entertained me. Now that I was planning to leave, I had to say hello to him.

"Hey, Brother Xu, you're awake." Qu Feifan's voice was very hazy, and it was obvious that he was woken up from his sleep.

"Oh, sorry to disturb your rest." Xu Bo'an said politely.

"It's okay, brother. I'm going too. Do you have anything to tell me?" Qu Feifan asked.

Xu Boan explained, "It's nothing serious. It's like this. I have to go out for something and then I'll go back to Dongjiang. I'm telling you this so you don't wake up and find that I'm gone and then find fault with me."

Qu Feifan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I have arranged everything. I am going to treat you well tonight. It's not easy for you to come to Jiangcheng, so give your brother a chance."

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Not really. Dongjiang is so close to Jiangcheng, it's not that hard. Besides, you kept saying you wanted to lose weight during the day, but now you want to eat and drink like crazy. This is not good. Let's talk about it next time."

Seeing Xu Boyan politely declined, Qu Feifan didn't say anything more to force him to stay. After all, everyone has problems.

Qu Feifan changed the topic and asked, "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you. But what are you going to do? It's convenient for you to tell your brother. I don't mean anything else. I just thought that we had a few drinks at noon, so it must be inconvenient to drive. If you need it, I will arrange someone to drive you right away."

Xu Boan said, "No need, I'll just take a taxi. There's nothing inconvenient to talk about, and it's not private. You still remember my colleague who I met at the traffic light, right? I'm thinking of going to see him."

Although Xu Boan had sobering liquid to help him get rid of the hangover, he didn't want to explain too much, so as to avoid letting Qu Feifan think that he was driving under the influence.

Qu Feifan got anxious when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you are really slapping me in the face. How can I let you take a taxi on my territory? I will arrange for the hotel to send a car. In addition, since you are going to see the weight loss god, I would also like to go with you to ask for advice. Brother Xu, do you think it is convenient? It won’t be too abrupt, right?"

Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Okay, since you want to go, let's go together. This brother was very nice to me in the past. He lives in Jiangcheng now. If he has any problems later, I might need your help."

Qu Feifan assured loudly: "No problem, that's all I should do! Your brother is my brother. Brother Xu, wait for me, I'll pack up right away, and we'll go meet this brother."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone. Ten minutes later, they appeared in the hotel lobby.

Qu Feifan had already called a Maybach and the driver was waiting at the door. Xu Bo'an and the other man got in the car and drove straight to the address on Tong Xiaojian's business card.

When the car stopped in a small alley in a village in the city, Xu Bo'an was surprised to find that even in a prosperous provincial capital, there were such shabby and messy areas.

The bustling streets are lined with various shops.

The faded "Accommodation 25 Yuan/Day" billboard maintains the lowest daily rental rate in the city. The steam wafting from the authentic Huizhou beef noodle restaurant is mixed with the smell of solder from the mobile phone repair shop next door. Next to the hot and sour noodle stall with the banner of "Authentic Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan", an unattended claw machine flashes cyber red light.

As soon as Xu Bo'an got off the car, he smelled the scent of stinky tofu, milk tea and printing shop ink floating in the air, and he frowned subconsciously.

Having an overly sensitive sense of smell is not a good thing. He could even smell the smell of rotting garbage coming from a garbage pool near a ruined building not far away.

Compared with Xu Boan, Qu Feifan's movements were much more exaggerated.

He pinched his nose subconsciously, and the driver considerately took out a mask and handed it to him. Qu Feifan quickly waved his hand and loosened his hand that was pinching his nose.

I'm here to visit someone, so it's so impolite to wear a mask.

What's more, I came here for Xu Boan's face. If I were to put on airs here, it would be too disrespectful to Xu Boan. How would Brother Xu view me?
Xu Boan didn't take it seriously. Young Master Qu was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Naturally, he was not used to this place.

Xu Bo'an smiled at Mr. Qu and pointed to the big words "Jixiang Real Estate" written on an orange door advertisement nearby.

"We're here, let's go in." (End of this chapter)
