Chapter 106 Blossoms
ps: If you don’t like the urban drama, you can choose to skip it, and there will be no impact on the subsequent plot.
As scenes flashed before his eyes and figures came into mind, Chu Pingsheng had a deeper understanding of the plot of "Flowers".
The story of Blossoms takes place in the ten-mile foreign market, in the snowy and windy Shanghai, in the early 1990s. It tells the story of a little-known young man, Abao, who worships his uncle, an old master, in order to fulfill his promise to his first love. Under the sect, from the beginning of stock trading, to foreign trade, to the listing of enterprises, the story of ups and downs in the business world is like a battlefield. There are also emotional entanglements between him and Miss Wang from No. 27 on the Bund, Reiko, the proprietress of Night Tokyo, and Li Li, the strong woman from Zhenzhiyuan.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but I feel dizzy after watching the plot, but it is finally completed, followed by a dazzling white light.
Chu Pingsheng felt the presence of his body.
The first thing that hit my nostrils was the slightly pungent smell of smoke. It must be that someone had smoked nearby not long ago, and the smell has not dissipated.
Accompanying the smell of smoke was the fragrance of chrysanthemum tea. The water vapor came up with a moist heat. He leaned back subconsciously, and the sound of chair legs rubbing against the floor came from the bottom of his feet.
Squeak...
Somewhat harsh.
"In the early days, there were many people in the fleet. Some came with banknotes to entrust them to buy stocks, and some came to withdraw money by selling stocks. The room was often filled with cash. You bundled it with me, going in and out. Every penny has to be counted clearly. At that time, our so-called United Fleet had a few dozen people at the beginning, and then it became a big wave. There were winners, losers, and people who passed away. In the end, many people left. Your father was that one. I added it at that time..."
This voice?
Mr. Bao, the male protagonist of Blossoms?
Chu Pingsheng rubbed his dizzy head and opened his eyes. As his vision recovered little by little, various colors formed a groggy picture in front of his eyes.
The light is a bit dim. The flowers on the cabinet opposite are wilted and the leaves are seriously curled, but you can still see them. A little further ahead is a round plate filled with various refreshing side dishes and greasy fruits. Beyond that is the hall. , there is a lucky cat with its left paw raised high and a serious smile on the counter,
He was sitting at a round table covered with glass. In front of him was a glass cup with a peony print. Dried chrysanthemums were soaked in it. The steam and fragrance that he felt just now came from it. There was a calculator about a foot away. There was a ledger, and an envelope. The man in a straight suit turned his back to him and talked endlessly about the past. He was the protagonist of this drama, Abao.
Behind you is a sliding door, and beyond is the kitchen, which is stacked with pots and pans, various spice jars and stoves. The wine cabinet on the left is filled with wine bottles, whiskey, brandy, and there is also a Bottle of Moutai.
This is... Night Tokyo?
Chu Pingsheng tilted his head, convinced that he had made a mistake.
Because the heroine Reiko, wearing a uniform similar to that of a stewardess from 30 years later, with a silk scarf wrapped around her neck, a gold bracelet on her left hand and a watch on her right hand, was leaning against the door frame, listening to their conversation. From time to time, he would stuff a melon seed into his mouth, knock his upper and lower teeth together, and the melon seed kernel would enter his mouth, and the melon seed skin would fall to the ground.
There is a folding chair near the door. Commander Cai, who is wearing a peaked cap and has age spots on his face, is holding a cane in his hand and looking at the window glass opposite in a daze. He seems to be caught up in A Bao's narration and reminiscing about the people in those years. Make peace.
"Hey, I said Ah Si, can you hear it? Mr. Bao is talking to you, what's your attitude?"
Lingzi saw him looking left and right, completely He didn't pay attention to Mr. Bao's story and couldn't help but stare, very unhappy.
Her cheekbones are a bit high, her cheeks are sunken, her face is powdered and her mouth is red, and she exudes a sharp and mean atmosphere.
Ah Si?
Chu Pingsheng raised his hands and looked at them front and back.
Is she calling me?
Isn’t Ah Si the son who didn’t listen to Ah Bao’s words, bought 414 stocks with triple leverage, and finally lost all his hair and lost his hair due to a heart attack?
“Listen.”
He replied calmly.
Hey, no, shouldn't this Ah Si be mute? How can I speak?
Seeing a dressing mirror placed on a cabinet not far away, he stood up and walked over, taking a look in the mirror. It was his own face, and it looked nothing like Ah Si in the play.
The voice is his, and the appearance is also his. So it’s not soul penetration, but the mysterious power that allows him to take on Ah Si’s persona?
"I'm telling you, you have to thank Mr. Bao for this. If you hadn't stayed in there for a while, this mute's problem wouldn't have been cured." Reiko's noise came to my ears again.
Stay in there for a while? I remember that in the first episode of the plot, Ah Si mistakenly believed that Ah Bao was the culprit who caused his father's death. In anger, he drove a taxi to hit someone and took revenge. After that, he was arrested by the police. Later, after Ah Si's mother persuaded him, he admitted that he had drunk too much wine. , Mr. Bao was fine with him and did not hold him accountable. In the end, he was only detained for a few days and then released.
So, his other supplementary setting is that he was frightened by the police in the police station, and his mute problem was cured?
Is this okay?
He had heard of people who were frightened and became mute, but he had never heard of mutes who were surprised and could speak.
Also, in the plot, isn’t it Xiao Lehui where Commander Cai takes Ah Si to meet Mr. Bao? Why did you come to Tokyo at night?
Of course, take care of yourself as you come. A Si who can talk is better than a Si who can't talk.
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Bao."
He answered without looking back, turning his attention to his mind to search for mission information.
Soon, a line of Chinese characters appeared in front of my eyes.
The main mission in the world of "Flowers": assume the identity of Ah Si and live a different life.
Recalling the plot, after Ah Si was released, Ah Bao gave him a land use certificate. In the end, Ah Bao and Ah Si, who had escaped from the stock market, went to Sichuan Sha to plant flowers.
In other words, what he wants to do is to change the result.
At this moment, a flow of information poured in, and scenes of life flashed through his mind.
There is a scene of Fa Gen taking the young boy everywhere to seek medical advice, even kowtow to the doctor to seek treatment for his disability.
When I was living in the country, I came home sweating profusely. I untied the cotton-padded jacket in my arms and prepared to give him a popsicle, only to find that I had completely melted.
There are scenes of his parents crying with joy after he learned to drive a taxi and became able to make a living.
There is also a scene of a family of three sitting in a newly bought house after making money from stock trading, watching the Spring Festival Gala to celebrate and have a good life in the future.
......
No wonder Ah Si's hatred for Mr. Bao is so deep. It turns out that his father's love has been poured into this mute son.
Even if Chu Pingsheng knew that he was a time traveler, he would inevitably be affected by these memories and have more emotions in his heart.
"Ah Si, take this..."
A Bao untied the string on the envelope, walked up to Chu Pingsheng, and handed him a big red book.
"I never touched 414 from beginning to end, and I told Dad not to touch it, but no one thought... I am also responsible for things turning like this. After all, I was the one who dragged your dad into the fleet. Here. There is a land use certificate that your father and I bought as a half-partnership. In today's rapidly developing areas, the fastest way to change a person's destiny is stocks and land. I leave it to you. I believe that the land in Pudong will be better in the future. As good as Puxi”
“…”
“Take it.”
Chu Pingsheng looked at Mr. Bao's face and then at the big red book handed to him. He took it in his hand and turned it over. After thinking for a moment, he walked to the round table and threw the envelope on it.
Mr. Debao and Commander Cai were stunned by this action.
Lingzi frowned and showed displeasure. The tone of Ah Si’s reply just now made her very unhappy. Now she refused Mr. Bao’s kindness. Thinking about how he almost killed her beloved man, she suddenly felt Anger arises from the heart.
"Ah Si, let me tell you, don't be ungrateful. If Mr. Bao hadn't missed your old relationship and held you accountable, you would have been in jail for the rest of your life, you know? Now your driver's license has been revoked. Taxi If you can't open it, those who want debts will line up from your door to the Suzhou River. Now that Mr. Bao has shown you a way to make a living, you don't say thank you and are beaten up. What do you want to do? "
"Is it possible that I would starve to death without this?" Of course Chu Pingsheng would not spoil her.
