Chapter 1212 Feeling a Bit Guilty

It is almost the end of July. Even though Shanghai is close to the sea, the weather is so hot that people still don't want to go out. Compared with other cities, Shanghai, which is centered on the economy, has a strong Olympic atmosphere. After all, this is an international metropolis. Compared with the seriousness of Yanjing, the atmosphere here is much more relative to itself.

So the Olympic atmosphere here is not the same as that of Athena in Greece, the host city, but things related to the Olympics appeared earlier than in other cities.

For example, the mascots of this year's Greek Olympics, Athena and Favors dolls, are sold here more popular than in other cities.

For the mascots of the Olympics, to be honest, even if you put aside the identity of Eastern and Western cultures, Yang Dongxu still feels that these Olympic dolls are far less cute than the puppets of the twelve zodiac signs.

Especially when looking at the Athena and Favors puppets in his hands, Yang Dongxu always feels that he is holding two monsters in his hands, not mascots.

He has no objection to the unique design of the mascots, but the characteristics of the two dolls in his hands are simply monsters, which is a bit speechless.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom, and it is said that she is more beautiful than the enchanting Medusa. Designed with a big pointed head with big feet in the hand, I wonder if Athena, if she is still alive, will borrow the thunderbolt scepter in her hand from Zeus and turn the designer into ashes.

"Actually, it feels good to take a closer look." Wu Xue organized the little Wenchen in her arms to put the doll in his hand into his mouth and tear it in various ways. Just now, he put Favors' head into his mouth without paying attention. At this time, it was full of saliva and was held in Yang Dongxu's hand. He held Athena in his hand.

A four-year-old child can actually speak clearly and can understand other people's speech with a certain degree of cognition. It's just that when holding things, he can't help kneading them into strange shapes, or putting them into his mouth to test the firmness. I don't know if it's a legacy of wanting to put everything into his mouth when he was one or two years old.

Zhou Ya, who was wearing a short shirt and a shirk, and wearing an ordinary straw hat and sunglasses, didn't pay much attention to his son, but picked and chose the small commodities on the stall in front of him.

The owner of the stall was a dark man. No matter how ordinary Zhou Ya dressed, her temperament in a high position for so many years could not completely become ordinary. So every time he asked the price, Yang Dongxu always felt that the stall owner who secretly looked at his wife doubled the price he offered to others.

Many people feel that rich people are fools and that their money is easy to cheat. For example, they spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on a meal and tens of thousands of yuan on a bottle of wine. They are simply cheated.

But in fact, rich people are more stingy than ordinary people when buying things, especially when buying things on carpets. Unless a man and a woman are in love, the man deliberately pretends to be generous and gives money directly.

Otherwise, rich people will not blink when buying luxury goods worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but when buying some ordinary small things. They are more stingy than ordinary people when bargaining.

For example, his wife Zhou Ya took out the bargaining method of looking at the half of the waist, and after this method did not achieve the expected effect, she began to look for some other cheap and useful things as fillers.

Then use the average method of two yuan for things, five yuan for three pieces, etc., basically the price that both parties can accept, so that the vendor's plan to cheat fools is completely defeated.

"If you don't sell it, forget it."

Then she left with her husband and son.

After walking a few steps, the vendor hurriedly called out: "Come on, I'll buy two from you. It's really a loss. If it weren't for the fact that we wanted to start a good business today, I would never sell it to you." In the game, a deal was finally concluded.

"Brother, do you know that the stamps we collected before are very valuable?" Wu Xue shook the little Wen Chen who was sliding down in her arms and let him move up and down in her arms.

In fact, children don't want to stay in adults' arms on a hot day, especially when they are four or five years old, which is when children are lively and curious.

For example, in the countryside, even if you don't go out, you like to drill into every corner, and at least poke the mouse hole with a stick, so your clothes are never clean.

This is because there are so many people around when you just came to the Magic City, so you can stay quietly in Wu Xue's arms for a while, but it's only for a while. After getting a little familiar with the lively surroundings, you can't stay in Wu Xue's arms anymore.

"If you have money, just sell a small amount. The price of that thing will go up." Yang Dongxu glanced at the Olympic stamps on the stall, and the son who was beginning to want to rebel took it from Wu Xue's arms and put it on his neck.

This way, he didn't have to squeeze in the beautiful aunt's suspicion and discomfort, and it was very novel to sit on his father's neck. Little Wenchen scratched the hair on his father's head without any courtesy, and kept looking around with his big eyes blinking.

The stamps Wu Xue mentioned were the stamps Yang Dongxu collected back then, compared to others collecting stamps from envelopes. Yang Dongxu collected stamps by buying whole sheets at the post office.

At that time, Wu Xue followed him like a tail, and bought some with her pitiful pocket money. I don't know whether the domestic philatelic market has been affected by the foreign philatelic atmosphere in recent years, or the domestic shareholder collection market is hot.

The price of monkey stamps and earlier stamps has been rising in the past two years. Although it has not reached the exaggerated point of exchanging a stamp for a house, the price is already very considerable.

"If you don't need much money, then just keep collecting it. I just don't understand how a stamp that's only worth a few cents can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars." Wu Xue said casually.

"Maybe he's full and has nothing to do." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at her husband in displeasure. He was so old and still spoke so bluntly. Didn't you see that the owner of the stall looked at him differently?

Because in addition to selling some Olympic stamps, his stall also sold some small gadgets that looked old, and he was obviously a player. When Yang Dongxu said such things in front of him, wasn't it obvious that he was pointing at a monk and scolding a bald man?

Carrying the little guy, the three of them turned and walked into the air-conditioned milk tea shop next to them to cool down. Only then did Yang Dongxu feel that the murderous gaze behind him disappeared.

"That. Wu Xue?" When the three were at the party, looking at the list to see what flavor of milk tea to drink, a voice that was not very sure sounded.

Then a city beauty with sunglasses on her forehead, wearing denim shorts and a tight top, showing her beautiful figure, and big earrings on both sides, slightly exaggerated, but well set off her delicate face, stood up from the table next to her.

This milk tea shop not only sells milk tea, but also sells some cakes, ice cream, fruit smoothies, etc., so there are several high tables next to it for customers to stay in the store.

"Who are you?" Wu Xue was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of her with a little uncertainty, and then looked at the table where she just stood up, another girl and two boys, none of whom looked familiar.

"I am Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague, we have met before. This is your friend Yang Dongxu, right? Hello, my name is Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague." Jiang Lan'er's face was not embarrassed at all, and she greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Hello." Yang Dongxu nodded politely.

"Oh, I remember, I saw you and Jiang Jing together before. It's a bit difficult to see you dressed like this for the first time. Where is Jiang Jing?

I haven't seen her for a long time. The last time I called her, I heard that she was getting married. Her boyfriend said he was from another place, and she didn't say when she would get married. Later, I called her again, but she seemed to have changed her phone number without telling me, and the phone was shut down and couldn't be reached." Wu Xue also smiled.

She doesn't have many friends in Shanghai, and Jiang Jing can barely be counted as one. At the beginning, the two of them lived in the same dormitory, so they had some friendship. When she moved, Jiang Jing gave her a gift.

Jiang Lan'er seemed to be there at the time, but it has been so long that I can't remember clearly. Of course, it was mainly because Jiang Lan'er, who was wearing cool and slightly sexy clothes, looked a bit different from the image of a serious bank counter clerk, so I didn't recognize her for a while.

"They didn't get married, and they broke up again. She almost resigned for her boyfriend, and finally applied to transfer to her boyfriend's work. But the man was nothing at all, and he said he was still messing around outside after getting married." Jiang Lan'er said a little indignantly.

But her eyes kept looking at Zhou Ya beside Yang Dongxu. Although Zhou Ya was dressed ordinary and didn't seem to have any famous brands on her. But she still had some vision as she worked in a bank. She felt that the woman in front of her was very extraordinary, but she couldn't tell where she was extraordinary for a while.

But seeing her standing next to Yang Dongxu, the big money owner, and a chubby child sitting on Yang Dongxu's neck, she couldn't help but guess.

"Has her job been transferred back? By the way, you have her phone number but didn't give it to me." Wu Xue couldn't help but show concern when she said Jiang Jing.

"Yes." Jiang Lan'er said quickly, then trotted back to her table and took the latest Samsung flip phone with rhinestones on the shell. "Is your phone number still the same? I'll send it to you."

She had Wu Xue's phone number. She got it from Jiang Jing when she was still working in Shanghai.

"It's still the same one." Wu Xue nodded and didn't feel it was strange that the other party had her phone number.

"Okay, I'll send it to you. I won't bother you. Jiang Jing said she was coming to Shanghai to relax these days. She'll call you to have dinner with us."

"Okay, thank you." Wu Xue thanked after receiving the text message.

"You're welcome. Jiang Jing's friends are my friends. I won't bother you." Jiang Lan'er smiled and waved her hand, and returned to her small table to continue accompanying her friends, but she looked over here from time to time.

Until Yang Dongxu and his friends bought milk tea and left the store, she couldn't help but show a look of disappointment in her eyes.

In addition to the milk tea shop, Zhou Ya's eyes were always constantly looking at Yang Dongxu. The meaningful eyes made Yang Dongxu feel a little uneasy.

He had to pretend that he didn't understand and used milk tea to play with his son.

Although Jiang Lan'er's eyes were hidden just now, except for Wu Xue, the silly girl who didn't feel it. The other party's little tricks were obviously exposed in Zhou Ya's eyes.

Moreover, although it was concealed, Jiang Lan'er's eyes would almost shine like diamonds when she saw Yang Dongxu. In addition, when she saw Xiao Wenchen and thought of Zhou Ya's identity, her eyes were obviously evasive. Anyone with a good brain could guess why.

So Yang Dongxu smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't do anything, so why did he seem to have made a big mistake?
