After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Because things related to bonsai were not urgent, Xu Bo'an withdrew his attention from the bonsai world.

I thought about seeing who was calling first, and took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to get some toothpaste and toothbrush and put them in the bonsai for the little ones to use.

Xu Bo'an glanced at the caller ID on the phone screen and saw that it showed a very easy-to-remember leopard number, and it was also Jiang Cheng's number. At first glance, it didn't look like a harassing call like a sales call.

Although there are many leopard numbers on phone numbers these days, especially those in lock-opening advertisements at doorsteps, they are all auspicious numbers like 888 and 666, but those are all landlines or Internet phones and some newly released number segments. Leopard numbers like this one, which can be seen at a glance as old customers of the three major operators, are still very valuable.

At least most people can't use it.

"Hello! Who is this?" Xu Boan answered the phone politely.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Xu Ming. We just met not long ago at the second-hand housing agency in the urban village near Jiangcheng." This was the response coming from the phone.

Xu Ming!

Xu Bo'an immediately thought that this man was Qu Feifan's mortal enemy, who had previously lost a bet with his old colleague in the urban village to a second-hand housing agency.

Hearing Xu Ming's straightforward introduction of his identity, Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu. What's the matter with you calling me?"

Although the two had never contacted each other by phone before, Xu Bo'an was not surprised at all that Xu Ming was able to find his phone number.

After all, Xu Ming and Qu Feifan, the second-generation kids, seem to belong to two different camps and seem to be somewhat hostile, but the wealthy circles in a city most likely have some intersections.

Isn’t there a saying about the close connection between people, that the distance between any two people in the world is no more than six people, which means that the connection between a person and a complete stranger can intersect with the network of only six people.

This is the case among people all over the world, not to mention a city, and even more so in nature.

Moreover, when doing business in the same city, many companies have cooperative relationships with each other, and many people even have backgrounds of relatives or family friends’ marriages. With the complex interweaving of these relationships, it is not difficult for these people to find out the contact information of others.

Xu Boan's contact information was obviously not kept secret, so it was normal for Xu Ming to find him.

Xu Ming no longer had the hostility and sharpness he had when they met before. He said politely, "Hello, Mr. Xu. I am calling to bother you because I want to talk to you about the transfer of my company. When is a convenient time for you, let's go to the Jiangcheng Municipal Government Affairs Center to transfer the ownership. Then the company will truly belong to you."

Xu Boan thought about it and realized that in order to transfer Xu Ming's company, he would need to go to the provincial capital Jiangcheng himself.

And he still has the matter of the one hundred horses at the open racecourse in Jiangcheng to deal with, but he hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet.

It was too much trouble to go back and forth again. I decided to wait until I figured out how to deal with the horses before going to Jiangcheng to handle both matters at once.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said, "I understand, but I have something else on hand right now. I'm afraid the transfer of your company will have to wait a few more days. I'm sorry, is it urgent for you?"

Xu Bo'an was just being polite, after all, the other party was so nice. He couldn't be too arrogant, and he shouldn't hit someone who smiled at him.

Xu Ming pursed his lips and chuckled.

Are you kidding? Only a fool would be anxious about giving the company away for free. After all, a mosquito leg is still meat, no matter how small it is. This company is profitable, although not much, but no one will complain about having little money. The longer the company is under your name, the company's profits will be yours, and you will be able to collect money one more day. I'm not in a hurry.

Xu Ming said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll come at your own time, Mr. Xu. Please keep my mobile number. When you're done, just call me. I'll be at your service anytime."

It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Xu Ming gave him so much face, so Xu Boan is not an unkind person.

Xu Boan immediately said politely: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xu for your understanding, we will talk!"

"Okay, let's talk later! You're busy!" Xu Ming responded with a smile. He waited until Xu Boan hung up the phone before hanging up, which can be said to have given Xu Boan enough face.

After Xu Bo'an hung up the phone, he ran straight to the bathroom and found the spare toothpaste and several toothbrushes in the cabinet beside the sink. These were purchased by Chen Pingping. Xu Bo'an didn't have this habit before. He usually used a toothbrush with split bristles and only thought of buying new toothpaste when the toothpaste was worn out. However, he always forgot about it and had to wait until the day he remembered to buy new ones. Before that, he had to find a way to make do with it. Anyway, as long as you are willing to squeeze hard, there will always be some toothpaste.

After taking out the toothpaste and toothbrush, Xu Boan once again focused his attention on the bonsai.

At this moment, Li Erhu and Wang Guifen stared at each other, not daring to get up.

Although the Mountain God didn't say anything else, the couple were not sure whether he was still there.

The two of them planned to kneel for a while before standing up. After kneeling for a while, Li Erhu said softly, "It seems that the mountain god has left. I'll rinse my mouth first. I just brushed my teeth and haven't rinsed my mouth yet. The tooth paste smells terrible. I have to rinse my mouth first."

Wang Guifen glared at Li Erhu and said, "Nonsense, it's only been a while, you better kneel down honestly for at least an incense stick of time. The mountain god is so good to us, we have to respect him."

Xu Boan just came back at this time. After hearing what Wang Guifen said, he thought to himself, "Actually, I am not an old man. I am in my prime years!" However, Xu Boan did not explain. After all, the image of the elderly can still give people a sense of solemnity and respect. Anyway, Xu Boan does not care about the external image. They can think whatever they want.

Xu Bo'an spoke calmly at the right time: "Okay, don't worry about brushing your teeth. I have some toothpaste here, which is better than the tooth powder, tooth paste and refined salt you use. I will get it for you to try later. As for toothbrushes, I have better choices here, but I don't have many at the moment. You two take these first, and take the rest except for your two and give them to Li Qingjiang to give them as prizes to the students in the school."

When Xu Bo'an came in just now, his eyes happened to glance over the school. Li Qingjiang was squatting on the stone steps with a few boys, brushing their teeth with wooden sticks. Based on the idea that "no matter how poor, one must not be poor in education, and no matter how hard, one must not make children suffer", Xu Bo'an thought about giving the few existing toothbrushes to the children first.

Hearing the words of the Mountain God, Li Erhu was frightened again and broke out in a cold sweat. The Mountain God was really still there. Fortunately, his wife stopped him from getting up, otherwise it would have been really disrespectful.

"Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for your reward. We understand." Wang Guifen and her husband kowtowed again to express their gratitude.

When they looked up, they saw some very novel things appear before their eyes.

Xu Boan shrunk the toothpaste and toothbrush to the size that he usually uses, so that the little ones can use them more easily.

Otherwise, a roll of toothpaste is too big for the little ones to open. Even if they open it, the toothpaste inside is in the shape of large lumps of rocks, which is even more inconvenient to use for brushing teeth.

Not to mention the toothbrush, which is too big to use! Just scale it down and it will be just right for the little ones.

If Wang Guifen and Li Erhu hadn't heard the mountain god say that the things in front of them were toothpaste and toothbrushes, they would not have recognized them at all.

At this time, they looked at the object floating in the air, and suddenly their eyes lit up. They saw that the toothbrush was colorful and not only beautiful in appearance, but the fine bristles at the end of the toothbrush were clearly visible and arranged very neatly. Even the brown-bristled toothbrushes used by the landlords, wealthy people and powerful people in the city could not be compared with the toothbrush before them.

Look at those toothpastes again, each one is carefully packaged, while the tooth powder packaging used by rich people in the city is just simply wrapped with some kraft paper. The packaging alone is very different from the toothpaste in front of you.

The two were stunned for a moment. They really didn't expect that the Mountain God would suddenly appear and give them daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrush. The Mountain God took care of them in such meticulous manner that they couldn't help but be very moved.

Xu Boan saw that Li Erhu and Wang Guifen looked a little dazed and had not yet planned to take the things in his hands, so he said, "Okay, take these things away!"

Wang Guifen and Li Erhu finally reacted and quickly took the toothpaste and toothbrush given by the Mountain God from the floating air. At this moment, they held the objects in their hands without time to look at them carefully. They both knelt on the ground and kept thanking the Mountain God.

Seeing the two people's extremely pious looks towards him, Xu Bo'an felt very happy. Now he really liked his bonsai world more and more. He just gave them some small toothpaste and toothbrushes, and they were so grateful to him.

If this happened in the real world, if you gave someone something as insignificant as toothpaste or a toothbrush, they would probably say you were extremely stingy behind your back, even if they wouldn't say anything to your face.

The period in which the little people in the bonsai lived was extremely backward. They were extremely scarce in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities. Everything was handmade, and not as neat and beautiful as those made by machines in modern society. Therefore, they were particularly surprised when they saw these modern things.

Xu Boan really enjoys the feeling that the bonsai world brings him. This is probably what people often call emotional value!

Many people think that drinking buddies are ineffective social interactions and should never be made friends with.

But in fact, everyone is at the same drinking table, so everyone knows who is each other’s drinking buddy!
You think the other person is just a drinking buddy, but doesn't the other person think you are one too?

But from a rational point of view, the reason why you are willing to sit together is that as drinking buddies, you can bring emotional value to each other.

When you really grow up, you will find that you may not be able to make the close friends you want, no matter how hard you try. Even if you once had them, the friendship will gradually fade due to changes in time, space, and class. Moreover, due to various inexplicable coincidences, you may even create some inexplicable misunderstandings, which will lead to unintentional estrangement and regret.

What about friends who like to drink and eat together? You don't need to worry too much. Just enjoy the moment and have fun together. You can eat, drink and chat with each other, brag about business, and just treat it as a way to relax.

In all likelihood, they won't really help you out when you're in trouble, but apart from this drink, they won't ask too much of each other, and won't feel like they owe each other anything. If they do, forget it, it's no big deal, after all, they don't have such a deep friendship.

Just think of it as spending some money on food and drinks, chatting with people, having fun and broadening your horizons. There's nothing wrong with paying for chatting these days. Isn't it just paying for the emotional value?

It is said that when you give someone a rose, the fragrance lingers on your hand. In fact, it is nothing more than the principle of paying for emotional value, right?
Of course, this only applies to the relationship of drinking buddies. As for some guys with bad intentions, you'd better stay away from them as soon as possible. We are all adults. Making friends is like doing business. You are responsible for your own profits and losses, success and failure.

Xu Bo'an's thoughts wandered for a while, and when he saw Li Erhu and Wang Guifen still kneeling there and kowtowing to express their gratitude, Xu Bo'an said calmly, "Okay, you guys get up. Now is a good time to try out the effects of these things. I'll leave first."

The toothbrushes and toothpastes are in simple packaging. Xu Boan believes that they will be able to use them after a little study. After all, he is not a nanny and it is impossible for him to teach them everything.

After Wang Guifen and Li Erhu heard the words of the Mountain God, they immediately kowtowed and greeted him, saying, "Farewell, Mountain God!"

This time, the couple knelt firmly for a whole incense stick of time. After making sure that the mountain god had left, they stood up. Then they couldn't wait to take the toothpaste and toothbrush given to them by the mountain god, and rubbed and looked at them carefully. The more they looked at them, the more they liked them.

Wang Guifen reached out to touch the toothbrush head and screamed in surprise. She said to her old man Li Erhu, "Ah, when I saw these neatly arranged brush heads just now, I thought they were very soft. I didn't expect them to feel even smoother, like silk. I'm afraid even the landlords and wealthy families have never seen such a good thing. Boss, you should try it first!"
