Chapter 198 Xinlu City
"Handsome, your skin is really good, even tenderer than mine! What skin care products do you usually use?" No. 88 continued.
No. 77 squeezed his shoulders. She seemed to be new to this industry and didn't like to talk much.
“Haha, I’m a natural.”
“Where is this handsome guy from and what does he do? It looks like this is your first time here. You ordered the emperor set meal as soon as you came. You are really Rich!”
"A person from Guangdong, a small business owner." Chen Xi made up a random place. It would be better not to tell the real information outside.
"No wonder your Mandarin sounds a little weird. There are quite a few people from Guangdong who come to Shanghai." No. 88 picked up a towel and wiped Chen Xi's feet carefully.
"This is the magic city, that's natural."
"The people who come here to wash their feet are all big bosses. I don't believe you when you say they are doing small business. Hehe~ Last time Several bosses came and said they were running small businesses. One said he was selling small businesses. It turned out that they were selling products online and had a dedicated website. Another one said that he was engaged in playing games. I thought it was minesweeper and solitaire at first, but it turned out that he was engaged in some kind of platform, which sounded quite profitable.”88 He talks a lot and keeps talking.
"Oh? Is there another thing? It seems like there are a lot of foot-washing bosses like you."
"That's right, there are people who come to us for any business. But most of them come here with banks or other people, and they all look like financial sponsors. The bosses are all begging them to provide funds..." As if he felt that it was inappropriate to say these words, No. 88 closed his mouth without saying a few words, and then observed Chen Xi with his eyes, hoping that the other party was not angry.
Seeing that there was nothing strange on the other party's face, No. 88 breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she has only gone to school for a few days and knows nothing about those businesses, she has been here for a long time and has learned a lot about words and emotions.
Although the big bosses seem to have good backgrounds, when they meet people from banks and investment companies, they all treat them with the same respect as their fathers.
It seems that the bosses are not doing well either, and all the money they have is borrowed from elsewhere.
No. 88 looked at Chen Xi in front of her, and seemed to think that the other person was not a boss, but just a rich second generation. The bosses she had seen were all in their forties, and very few were in their thirties. The young man in front of her looked at it. He might be in his early twenties.
"You have a lot of customers. You are very busy here every day~"
"It is very busy now because the price has been reduced. The price was not this before!"
< br>"Oh? How many were there before?"
"There are 2888 and 3888."
"Haha."
Chen Xi chuckled and said 3,888 yuan to wash his feet. The average salary in China is not high now, and the money to wash his feet can equal several months' salary of ordinary people.
“Nowadays, the price of everything has increased, but wages have not. The price of foot washing has dropped. I don’t know how I will survive in the future. The house prices in Shanghai have increased too exaggeratedly!”
"How much is one square meter now?"
"It's going to be 10,000 yuan soon! It's scary. It's many times the price in our hometown."
"Oh?"
Chen Xi calculated the time and found that the price should be around seven or eight thousand now. Compared with the subsequent increase, it is now considered cheap.
His family also has several apartments in the Magic City, which will be worth several times in the future.
At this time, the house price in Xinlu was only three to four thousand, which was half less than that in the Magic City.
“Handsome guy, what kind of business are you in?”
"I'm almost the same as you."
"Huh? A foot washer? Are you also the owner of a foot bath shop? How about I go work for you in the future, and you can take care of me~" No. 88 was giving Chen Xi He massaged his arms, and after saying that, he pressed his whole body against her body and started acting coquettishly.
Chen Xi felt something strange on his arm and laughed in his heart.
"I also do cleaning work, but I just clean the house, haha."
"Handsome guy, you are so bad!" No. 88 said coquettishly.
"Your boss is quite rich, and the decoration in this place in Shanghai is considered high-end."
"No, we are the best in this area, and our service is top-notch. "No. 88 said while looking at him charmingly, and then gave No. 77 a wink.
No. 77's face instantly turned red, and he stood there without making any next move.
No. 88 looked like he was in trouble, and kept giving her winks. No. 77 could only lower his head and kneel at Chen Xi's feet, and then stretched out his hands to massage his legs.
Pressing and pressing, Chen Xi felt a smooth little hand gradually move to the other leg.
He couldn't help but open his eyes and saw No. 77 with his head lowered, a shy look on his face, not daring to look at him, and his hand clumsily squeezing his other leg.
"No, what are you doing~ Stop pressing here." Chen Xi quickly grabbed the other person's hand and moved it away, then straightened his pants.
"Hee hee, handsome boy, you are still a virgin, are you? This is the QLX maintenance in our package." No. 88's eyes narrowed in laughter.
"No, I don't like this."
Chen Xi waved his hand, this is the country of China, he doesn't want anything to happen, it would be bad if he is caught. That is simply embarrassing, but the boss here is probably not an ordinary person. There is a high probability that there is no need to worry about this kind of problem, but it is better to be careful.
"Handsome guy, lie down and spread the essential oil on your back."
No. 88 asked Chen Xi to lie down, poured the essential oil on him, and asked No. 77, the newcomer, to massage the customer's calves.
What happened next was the same as the massage in Richmond. Chen Xi lay on the sofa and felt his back was soft, but he did not refuse. He didn't mind this kind of massage. "Handsome guy, if you don't experience this, you can't do that. This 1888 emperor package is a bit unfair. I just came here, and I'm a pure college student!" No. 88 persuaded her while massaging.
“No, no, I have something to do tomorrow, I have to conserve my energy.”
"Hee hee, you are so young, you must have good physical strength."
"..."
After the two hours of service, Chen Xi let out a long breath after the two technicians left. , he was lying on the sofa watching the domestic news.
Since he went abroad relatively early, he doesn’t know much about some domestic affairs. Now he can get an idea of the current situation in China by reading the news.
According to the current situation, prices have begun to rise rapidly, especially house prices. However, it is only in first- and second-tier cities, and even if it rises in third- and fourth-tier cities, it will not rise much.
Small factories have sprung up in coastal areas of China, especially in Zhijiang Province, where small family-style workshops have also emerged in endlessly.
The quality of the products produced by those small manufacturing enterprises is quite good, and the prices are relatively affordable, truly achieving high quality and low price.
With the rapid popularity of these high-quality and low-priced small commodities in the market, a large number of small bosses from Southeast Asia and the Middle East have flocked to the region to purchase, resulting in a significant increase in export volume.
Oh, it’s just a big magnetic storm. What’s so surprising, I even encountered it when I was reborn.
Thinking about the news just now, Chen Xi raised his lips. There are so many weird things in this world.
He doesn't expect to be able to bring his own system after rebirth or become a superman who only appears in movies. Now he just wants to rewrite the tragic experiences of his previous life.
Putting on his shoes, tidying up his clothes, he strode out of the room.
“Welcome next time!” the doorman shouted enthusiastically. He probably said this standard greeting hundreds of times a day, and it was as smooth as if it was played from a precise repeater. The same.
“Oh, Finger Dance Wonderland!” He looked up at the bright signboard and grinned. Thinking of the white and soft little hands just now, he had a reaction at that time.
"Little Chen Xi, just hold it in for a while today. Before you left, you were emptied by that little goblin Saori." The girl just now actually wanted to help him... Now innocent college students are so good at playing. ?
The next day, Xinlu Bus Station.
"My bones are about to break. Riding on this bus is really tiring."
Stretching, Chen Xi walked to the parking lot with his suitcase.
“Master, I almost didn’t recognize you when you changed your hairstyle.”
“Uncle Li, stop teasing me.”
There was a middle-aged man in his forties standing in front of a Mercedes-Benz. When he saw Chen Xi approaching, he was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to take the luggage from Chen Xi's hand.
This is his family’s driver, who has worked for the Chen family for decades.
"Uncle Li, how is my mother?"
"Very good. I'm waiting for you at home! I told you to cook some dishes you like."
"Um..."
Sitting in the car, he became a little greedy when he thought of his mother's cooking.
He is a little tired of eating the improved version of Chinese cuisine in Tu'ao every day.
The car slowly left the bus station, and Chen Xi looked at Xinlu City in 2006 outside the car.
At this time, the city had not yet undergone large-scale urban transformation. The streets were lined with old buildings and the roads were relatively narrow.
There were obviously problems with the urban planning at that time. It was difficult to imagine that this city would develop into a metropolis with a population of tens of millions in the future.
At present, the population of Xinlu City is only a few million, not even that of Qinhuai, let alone the Magic City.
In the previous network rankings, Xinlu City was classified as a new first-tier city, but in Chen Xi’s view, this classification is simply ridiculous.
The first line is the first line, and the second line is the second line. The so-called "new front line" is just to put money on one's own face. The so-called "new front line" is just self-deception.
It is winter now, and there are not many people on the streets outside.
Maybe it’s because everyone was tired from playing Christmas a few days ago.
Christmas is a foreign holiday, and he doesn't understand why Chinese young people like it so much. It's completely promoted by those merchants and is just a way to deceive people into spending money.
He spent Christmas in Tu'ao just doing as the locals do, but it was different in China, which made him confused.
"Uncle Li, does my dad still live at home?"
"Um... I haven't come back much recently... maybe he is busy..." Uncle Li hesitated, It's obvious that he doesn't want to get involved in their household chores.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Xi nodded and did not continue the topic.
He has always felt that his parents' divorce made him feel very embarrassed and made him feel that the family was somewhat incomplete.
Although many of his friends had broken families, he still couldn't let go.
For him, the warmth and friendship of family are far more important than money.
This idea may come from the fact that he has lived in a materially abundant environment since he was a child.
