Chapter 202 The Firefly Wants to Get Closer to the Starlight
The afternoon of April 18th.
Hou Liansheng was wandering around in a supermarket in Qixi City, purchasing some rice and oil for the employee benefits that his hotel would be giving out in two days.
However, he would take a second look at the milk, gift box and other exhibition areas from time to time to see the specific prices of these things.
I have to say.
These things that are suitable for giving as gifts are flashy and expensive.
But he couldn't help but want to take a second look.
Ever since he discovered a few days ago that his old classmate Chen Yun seemed to be having a good time, he had been hesitant about whether to go up and establish a good relationship with him.
If it were the old man, he would definitely be on it.
But now, he has never curry favor with such a good acquaintance, and he doesn't know how to communicate or whether he will be rejected.
That was the general manager of the Xianghe Real Estate Branch, and he was being called around at will.
The boss of Xianghe Real Estate shouldn't be so arrogant when he comes here.
The former Hou Liansheng naturally didn't care about flattering others with his hot face and cold bottom. He was so thick-skinned that he could find others to flatter him again.
But this time the person who wanted to curry favor was not only doing well.
There is also a layer of old classmate relationship.
This made him unable to help but worry about gains and losses.
The old classmate was calling the boss of Xianghe Real Estate Branch here and there. It would be a pity if he didn't fawn over him, but it would also be a pity if he failed to fawn over him and ended up completely severing contact with him.
But there is no such relationship between old classmates.
He wouldn't worry so much about gains and losses.
But after having this old classmate relationship, he was afraid that he would waste this relationship and accidentally make the two of them no longer have contact with each other.
Is pondering.
He received a message on his mobile phone:
[Sir, I just found out from our information system that you have no Starbucks or Apple consumption records in the past 6 months, and you have not participated in Citywalk, Gaptime and Xiaohong. Share your insights in the book, and since you have made more than two purchases of Mixue Bingcheng and Pinduoduo per month for more than three months, we are sorry that we cannot provide you with membership upgrade services. 】
This information came from a self-proclaimed high-end coffee shop. He had previously applied for a membership upgrade so that he could enjoy better services in the future.
But now I see being ruthlessly rejected.
Hou Liansheng couldn't help but have a flash of complicated emotions in his heart.
He really wants to...become a master!
He pondered for a moment.
His eyes were firmly determined.
Immediately, Hou Liansheng decisively changed direction and went to the gift area to buy a nice nut gift box and several bottles of inexpensive wine.
…
It's approaching evening.
The temporary market in the center of Zhengjia Village was set up again.
The setting sun poured down on the temporary market of the fishing village like molten gold, giving this busy place a warm and soft glow.
The evening market becomes even more vibrant at the end of the day, with fishermen and traders busy in the afterglow, preparing to seize the last trading opportunity.
The lights on the stalls came on one after another. Under the dim light, all kinds of seafood shone with an attractive sheen: from fish with shining silver scales, crabs with claws and claws, to shellfish of various shapes, the dazzling array attracted villagers from far and near. Stop and choose with tourists.
The sunset on the horizon is like a dreamy background, adding a bit of romance and poetry to this temporary market.
Hou Liansheng and his two younger brothers drove a van and came to Zhengjia Village again.
In theory, they took advantage of the evening market when the fishermen came back from fishing to purchase some freshly caught fish for the hotel.
But in fact, only Hou Liansheng knew why he came here.
Of course, it’s definitely not just for purchasing.
Otherwise, why did he buy the nut gift box and wine?
Let the two younger brothers be busy purchasing some seafood products from various stalls.
Hou Liansheng came to the stall where he met Chen Yun before, carrying a packaging bag that he couldn't tell what it was, and with a smile on his face.
It's just that he didn't see the person he met that day here. He only saw the old man helping the buyer next to him to pack the shrimps.
"Uncle, the shrimp I bought from you last time were really good. I'm here again this time."
Hou Liansheng's face was particularly friendly. When the old man finished his work, he immediately went up to say hello.
Naturally, he didn't get straight to the point at first.
Hear the words.
The old man grinned happily.
He stood in front of his seafood stall and said with pride: "No, look at the crystal clear color, it is not comparable to the wild little guy!"
He picked up a bunch of tied shrimps and handed them to Hou Liansheng. The shrimps reflected an attractive luster under the afterglow of the setting sun. They had hard shells and thick flesh, and strong legs and feet.
"Our shrimps are carefully fed with natural feed in a pollution-free seawater environment. No chemicals are added, ensuring their natural flavor and nutritional value."
The old man's tone was full of confidence.
Of course, bragging is certainly part of it.
Hearing this, Hou Liansheng nodded repeatedly.
He didn't care about the old man's boasting, he was more concerned about Chen Yun who appeared here that day.
"It must be quite tiring to be alone."
"Weren't there a lot of people helping you before you came here?"
Hou Liansheng pretended to ask casually while picking at the shrimps.
His purpose is naturally not to buy shrimps, but to find people.
Of course, in order not to appear obtrusive.
I will still buy some shrimp.
"That kid Zheng Ronggang is now well-behaved because of Mr. Chen, and that little guy Zheng Yuliang has always been well-behaved and sensible."
"But if we are not relatives or friends, how can we ask others to help us every day? We are just neighbors. They all have their own things to do today."
"I don't know, Mr. Chen. Yuliang is busy at home helping the village repair fishing gear to earn some pocket money. Dalei went to the community service center for psychological counseling today."
The old man said, pointing to the community service center not far away.
Villagers may experience psychological stress after experiencing a disaster. Therefore, the government requires community service centers to organize psychological counseling and support services to help villagers rebuild their confidence and strengthen community cohesion.
Hou Liansheng nodded when he heard this, knowing that he got the information he wanted.
He then waved his hand to a nearby place and called his two younger brothers over: "Uncle, they will negotiate the price with you, and I will go shopping around again."
Finished.
Hou Liansheng turned around and left impatiently.
Leave the two younger brothers to discuss with the elder.
At this moment, he was walking towards the community service center with a clear goal.
The community service center of the fishing village is located in the center of the village. There are several flower baskets woven from used fishing nets at the door, with colorful wild flowers planted inside, swaying gently in the sea breeze.
Walking into the service center, a light smell of sea water intertwined with the aroma of wood creates a natural and relaxing atmosphere.
The interior decoration is simple and practical. The walls are hung with old black and white photos of fishermen fishing, as well as handicrafts decorated with shells and starfish, highlighting the characteristics and culture of the fishing village.
In such a space full of ocean charm, the psychological counseling room is particularly special.
It is located in a corner of the center. There is a handwritten wooden sign hanging beside the door, with the four words "Xinyu Harbor" spelled out in colored shells.
At this time, there was a queue at the door of the psychological counseling room, and the villagers maintained an appropriate social distance, chatting in low voices, or waiting silently.
In the corner, several volunteers are preparing hot tea for the waiting people. The aroma of tea blends with the sea breeze, adding warmth and care to the air.
As soon as Hou Liansheng came in, he saw a familiar strong man he had seen that day, just walking out of the psychological counseling room.
He was an adult man with rough facial lines, and a pair of small eyes under his thick eyebrows revealed a fierceness that could not be ignored.
Hou Liansheng recognized it. This was the big man he had seen that day.
"Um, hello."
Hou Liansheng stepped forward and smiled enthusiastically.
This made the other party obviously confused.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
Zheng Dalei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't remember who the person in front of him was.
However, the enthusiasm of the man in front of him made him subconsciously retreat a bit.
"Hello, my name is Hou Liansheng, and I am Mr. Chen Yun's old classmate."
Hou Liansheng stretched out his hand and said straight to the point.
Hear the words. Zheng Dalei did not dare to neglect, and quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with the man in front of him.
"My name is Zheng Dalei."
"Are you here to see...Boss Chen?"
Zheng Dalei asked Hou Liansheng in front of him with a smile that he had never used in his eight lifetimes.
His head lowered slightly when he spoke.
Since he is an old classmate of Boss Chen Yun.
Then he must not lose his manners.
"Yes, do you know where he is?"
Hou Liansheng was quite polite when he saw Zheng Dalei.
When he thought of calling Chen Yun the boss, he did not hesitate to add "you" to his words.
And his question is exactly his purpose.
He didn't have any request when he came today, he just wanted to pay a visit and give a gift.
Although there is Chen Yun’s phone number.
But after he tried twice and failed to get through, he didn't dare to call again and only dared to try to visit the door.
"Boss Chen..."
"Brother Zheng Yuliang said that he has something to do these days. I didn't see him when I went to pay my respects these days."
Zheng Dalei said to Hou Liansheng seriously.
He has been looking for Chen Yun every day these days, but he has never been able to find him.
He had no other purpose in finding Chen Yun.
I just want to say hello every day.
"Then where does he live now?"
After hearing this, Hou Liansheng thought for a moment and said.
It's okay if the person is not here.
He just needs to find someone's home and leave the gift there.
Anyway, there was nothing he wanted to do this time. The main thing was to give a gift and brush up his impression and favorability with Chen Yun.
"Boss Chen lives at brother Zheng Yuliang's house. I'll take you there."
Zheng Dalei straightened his chest and looked like he was leaving everything to me.
Then he took the lead and walked out.
Seeing this, Hou Liansheng quickly followed.
These two guys, who were extra cautious because they wanted to hug Chen Yun's lap, kept complimenting each other's business along the way.
They all thought that the opposite party had a good relationship with Chen Yun, so they all praised the opposite party to the sky.
Not long.
The two arrived at their destination.
Zheng Dalei took the lead and knocked on the door.
soon.
Zheng Yuliang opened the door.
At his feet, there was a small brown and white native dog.
Zheng Dalei hurriedly said hello: "Brother Yuliang, Senior Platinum!"
His tone was extremely serious.
Zheng Yuliang, who was only a junior high school student, waved his hand in embarrassment.
Even after these days, he is still not used to having a father of his own age behaving like his brother.
As for Hou Liansheng on the side, he was not shocked by the "old brother" voice. He was a little confused by Zheng Dalei's words of "senior".
Apart from a child, there was only one dog left in front of me.
Isn't your senior calling that dog? !
Hou Liansheng couldn't help but feel a little confused when he thought about it.
broken.
It seemed like someone was more licking than him.
"Brother Chen Yun still hasn't come back today, but his dog is still here and should come back."
Zheng Yuliang, who mistakenly thought that Zheng Dalei was still here to pay his respects, explained to the two people in front of him.
But this time Zheng Dalei said immediately: "This time it's not to say hello, it's to an acquaintance of Boss Chen Yun."
As he spoke, he pointed to Hou Liansheng next to him.
When Hou Liansheng heard this, he immediately smiled at Zheng Yuliang in front of him: "Hello, I am Mr. Chen's high school classmate, and I am here to visit today."
Considering that Zheng Dalei had just called the dog his senior, Hou Liansheng subconsciously nodded to the dog calmly after finishing speaking.
Zheng Dalei saw Hou Liansheng's actions.
He immediately showed a look of surprise.
Well, it turns out that everyone is a dog licker and a moth flying into the fire!
"Brother Chen Yun is really not at home."
Zheng Yuliang scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Hou Liansheng.
"It's okay, just leave this to him."
"Just say it was given by Hou Liansheng."
Hou Liansheng handed the bag he was carrying to Zheng Yuliang, which contained the nut gift box he bought when he visited the supermarket before.
Zheng Yuliang took the gift box and nodded.
Next, the few people chatted for a while and then separated.
But Zheng Dalei and Hou Liansheng, who were walking together on the road away from Zheng Yuliang's home, could not help but look at each other from time to time.
After a long time.
The two stopped and looked at each other.
"you also……"
"you also……"
The two people paused at the words they said in unison.
Seeing this, the two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything more.
At this moment, both of them understood that the person opposite was not an acquaintance of Chen Yun.
They are all just licking Chen Yun's dog.
And no one progresses much faster than anyone else.
The way they were polite to each other just now is really funny when I think about it now.
Everyone is a firefly who wants to get close to the stars.
The starlight is high and endless.
Fireflies are small and within reach.
That weak firefly always longs to be close to the endless shining starlight.
Although the road is long and long, it is not a dead end.
"Then let's make a friend?"
Zheng Dalei said, and handed Hou Liansheng the WeChat friend QR code.
In his eyes.
After all, I can't lick someone like this who has a classmate relationship with Chen Yun. Now I can try to butter up this guy first.
"Um."
Hou Liansheng nodded in agreement.
In his opinion, it should be easier to lick Chen Yun with multiple like-minded guys.
This Zheng Dalei licked Chen Yun earlier than him.
They should also have more experience, so we can have a good exchange in this regard.
Both of them felt that they had made a profit.
