Chapter 720 A Small Accident
There are many realms of pretentiousness. Speaking from other people's mouths, it is obviously the highest.
Xie Xiaochun went to university sponsored by Xie Zhiyao, a distant cousin, and Xie Zhiyao himself was working hard for the development of his hometown, and they had Xie Zhiyao to worry about a lot of their family affairs, so naturally they kept helping Xie Zhiyao. Yao boasts that he is a staunch vanguard and fully supports Xie Zhiyao.
So after Xie Zhiyao left, she tried her best to help Xie Zhiyao brag behind his back. Of course, there was also the reason why Wang Yan wanted to invest in opening a store, so she had to give Wang Yan some confidence.
From this, through Xie Xiaochun's introduction, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou also learned that Xie Zhiyao gave up a promising job in the capital, returned home, took over a B&B, a horse farm, and tie-dye, and opened a popular business. He opened a small restaurant and set up an online store, purchasing various agricultural products that were not easy to sell in the village at market prices, opening up sales online, providing jobs to people with poor conditions in the village, and leading the villagers to make money. At the same time, he used the money he earned To subsidize other money-losing businesses, he is a good guy who is praised by people in the village with thumbs up when he mentions it. He is the backbone of Yunmiao Village in both big and small affairs...
Also during this process, Xie Xiaochun prepared two cups of freshly squeezed watermelon juice and refilled Xu Hongdou's thermos cup with water. Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou arrived at Youfeng Restaurant and sat down in the open-air dining area. After taking a while, they were ready to have lunch.
Seeing Wang Yan with his hands behind his head, leaning back comfortably on the chair, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Xu Hongdou also looked up and said with a smile: "They are also strange, the store is open to the sky. It rains here too. Quite a bit, it would be bad if it was poured over half of the food.”
"It's not all open air, they give people a choice. If you eat and drink under the eaves, you will lose the sky in this square well. If you eat here, you have to withstand the sun and rain. Think about it carefully, there are still some Feelings."
"Life is full of philosophy." Xu Hongdou nodded seriously and said with a sigh, "That Mr. Xie just now was quite powerful and very ambitious."
"It depends on a person's choice. Rather than saying that he is very ambitious, it is better to say that he is capable. After all, not everyone can open up a situation in such a poor village. But it is not bad. To say that it is powerful, it is also It’s those impoverished villages that don’t have much output and don’t have any good scenery. The people who rise up in those places are really powerful.”
"Have you ever seen such a person?" Xu Hongdou sipped watermelon juice from her cherry mouth and looked at the lazy man opposite.
"That's for sure. It's in the northwest region, where there is poverty and only loess is left. It's in places like that that people just start working hard. They set up some handicraft workshops and artificially create scenic spots to attract some time-travel enthusiasts. There are many people like this, but they just don’t show their name. With China’s population of 1.4 billion, the poverty alleviation efforts for so many years can’t be done just by giving money, right?”
Wang Yan would never praise Xie Zhiyao. Of course, he did not harm others, but he just mentioned some people who were more powerful than Xie Zhiyao, thereby reducing Xie Zhiyao's sense of existence. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods. In this drama, Xie Zhiyao is a capable person, but if you look at the whole country, that's all.
"very nice."
"What's so good?"
"It's great that you have traveled all over the world and are knowledgeable."
"It may not be good. You asked me about my friends two days ago. This is a lonely journey."
Xu Hongdou looked at Wang Yan doubtfully: "So you really want to invest here?"
"Maybe. Didn't I say that I have to look again?" Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I have told you this before. I am too tired after walking for so many years. It is true that I want to find a place to settle down, but not That’s all. But I quite like it here. The air is good, the environment is good, the Bai people are friendly, there are mountains, water and woods. It’s a good place to retire. ”
"What about after you settle down?"
"Of course, you should live one day at a time and take it one step at a time. You don't have to set a goal to achieve it. And many of people's goals are money, living in a big house, driving a luxury car, and all kinds of high consumption. These things, with My current financial situation is not a big problem, but I don’t like it very much. I just think about it, drinking tea, reading, writing, and taking photos every day, isn’t this a good life?”
Wang Yan lowered his arms, leaned on the table and drank freshly squeezed watermelon juice. He looked at Xu Hongdou, who was sitting across from him thoughtfully, and continued, "What about you? What's your future? I think it's probably your return. Going to the capital to find a job and earn a living is difficult and tiring given your conditions. Maybe one day you meet a man and you agree to work together. Struggle. But you are already thirty-two. How old is the man you are looking for? What is the chance that it will fall on you two?
Of course there is another option. With your looks, it is not difficult to find a rich man. I think when you were working as a lobby manager in a hotel, many people must have expressed this intention to you. The probability of getting married is too low, and the main thing is to live a youthful life, but it is certain that you will get more money than you can get from working. In the end, it is nothing more than returning to your hometown to be with your parents. No matter whether you get married or not, you will still live the same life. So what is your future? Have you thought about this problem yourself? "
Xu Hongdou fell silent because she didn't know how to answer and there was no need to answer. She must have thought about it, including talking about it many times with Chen Nanxing, but she never came up with any results because there was really no result. This is a problem that she subconsciously avoids. She has never carefully thought about the long-term future.
"Stop!" After a while, seeing Xu Hongdou wanting to go in, Wang Yan woke him up, shook his head and said, "Don't think too much, otherwise the more you think about it, the sadder you will be and you won't be happy. Anyway, you have to stay here for three days." It’s only a few months, so there’s plenty of time. Once you’ve had enough fun, you’ll have plenty of time to think about a major problem.”
With a depressed sigh, Xu Hongdou said with some disappointment: "I really don't know what to do in the future. In the past, I only looked at the little money in front of me. I spent a lot of effort just to make a living every day. How could I Do you think so much? It’s better for a rich person like you to have your spiritual pursuits after all your material needs are met.”
"You can't say that. The main problem is whether you know what you want. Before considering this issue, you should understand where your upper limit is. After all, it is no longer possible to shout loudly that I will grow up. Children who want to be scientists who invent and research, teachers who teach and educate people, and doctors who save lives and heal the wounded can no longer have unrealistic fantasies.
It is important to know where your abilities are so you can know what you can get and what you cannot get. All in all, you need to know what kind of life you want, and what kind of life your abilities can enable you to live. "
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Listening to my nonsense will affect your own judgment. You must consider the long-term future, but more importantly, you must grasp the moment." Wang Yan raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's almost time. Let's go have lunch. I was thinking about it yesterday. The most important thing in life is eating and drinking. You can't neglect it. You must eat and drink well."
Xu Hongdou took a deep breath, drank up the remaining watermelon juice in the cup, and stood up while supporting the table: "Eat well and drink well!"
The two of them went out one after another, said hello to Xie Xiaochun and Nana who were busy at the bar, and walked happily towards the Gesanghua Hotel not far away...
Nana took a break from her busy work and looked at Wang Yan's back chatting and laughing with Xu Hongdou, and said without looking back, "I think they are a good match."
"I think it's a good match. Wang Yan's conditions are very good. He's well-informed and well-spoken. He's not a gregarious person. The important thing is that he's not short of money. Oh, yes, I haven't told you yet. You know Wang Yan is open How much does that big pickup cost? Well, all our hard work is not worth the cost of his car.
Hongdou, you are pretty. Didn’t you say that your previous job was the manager of a five-star hotel? That is also capable. After all, not everyone can be a manager. I have a lot of headaches when I manage so many people every day. Hongdou manages so many people and also has to take care of the reception and delivery. It’s awesome. .
But yes, they are a match, but whether it will lead to a result or not is up for grabs. "
Xie Xiaochun shook his head and sighed.
Nana was not a little girl who didn't understand anything. After thinking about it, she understood what Xie Xiaochun was talking about. She shook her head and smiled: "Are you trying to say that Wang Yan is not a good man? He has a lot of relationships between men and women, and there is no long-term love?"
"Hey, I didn't say that. I came into contact with him twice in total, once when I picked them up, and once now. He made me feel very good, and I don't know exactly what it was like. But what you said may be There are some too.”
"Tch, isn't that what you mean? They just met each other, and we don't know the specific development yet. In other words, we are bored, so we are talking about whether we can get along with each other."
"I know you are still gossiping here, so hurry up and get to work. If you don't finish the work, your salary will be deducted."
Nana smiled and started making various drinks again...
Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou had eaten eight large bowls without staying too much in the village. They went directly to the entrance of the village and drove to the ancient city.
After first finding a car wash to wash the old and dirty car until it was shiny, the two went to the famous Fuxing Road in the ancient city. Of course, it was not just this street, but there were several others. The snacks are relatively concentrated, with local characteristics and famous delicacies from all over the country. In this regard, snack streets across the country are similar.
This is a popular tourist attraction. Although it is afternoon, there are still a lot of people. They speak with different accents and it is very lively. At night, the ancient city lights up and it is even more crowded.
Of course Wang Yan was the main one who ate, and basically ate from beginning to end, trying everything. Xu Hongdou was a lot worse and couldn't eat much at all. She watched Wang Yan eat sweetly and felt pity for her full belly.
Of course she paid for it, maybe because she didn't want to have any trouble with money. She spent a lot of money along the way.
Time passed by, the blue sky and white clouds changed to a sky full of stars, and the cities on the ground lit up with neon lights. The ancient city with a history of more than 600 years, combined with the lights of modern civilization, reveals the traces of time, making people unable to help but sigh at the power of time and the greatness of modern civilization. After all, in the past in this land, the chieftain was the leader, and the lives of the brothers and sisters of the Bai ethnic group were not much better than those of the Han people at that time. They were all exploited. Where could there be such a bustle of people?
Seeing Wang Yan eating the squid with his mouth full of oil and holding a handful of skewers in his hand, Xu Hongdou was full of resentment: "I said I came out to eat, but you actually ate well. I was so greedy. But I can’t eat much.”
Wang Yan smiled: "Don't pout, it's not just this time, there are plenty of opportunities to eat. And this is a snack, if you eat all kinds of things randomly, you will definitely get a stomachache. What you eat is enough, there is no need to force yourself."
"Then aren't you afraid?"
"My digestion and absorption function is relatively good, so it's not a big problem. Even if there is a problem, it's reasonable to pay some price to satisfy your appetite, it's no big deal. You are a woman, your body structure is different, you will suffer more, it's better to control yourself. Besides, you haven't eaten less today, it's the same to wait for two days before eating, there's no need to rush."
"You are the only one who has a lot of reasons and talks in one way..."
Xu Hongdou's voice suddenly stopped, because her eyes blurred and she saw Wang Yan suddenly bite the squid skewer, turned around and grabbed the collar of a medium-sized man wearing a baseball cap behind her, and then took a step forward, hooked his foot, and directly threw the man to the ground, and stepped on his chest with one foot.
Wang Yan bent over and looked down, holding the tip of the bamboo stick and poking the man under his feet through his clothes: "If you struggle again, I will try my best."
"Brother, I..."
"You can't even talk." Wang Yan said in a faint voice, and poked his face gently with the bamboo stick, "Honestly cooperate, we'll just go through the motions, understand? Don't struggle, and don't take out the small dagger in your pocket, it's not worth it. There are surveillance cameras over there, do you know unlimited self-defense? Very good, let's keep this posture now."
Xu Hongdou looked at this scene in confusion, and then looked at the fun people who formed a circle in an instant, becoming the focus of so many people, which made her a little uncomfortable.
She came up and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Thief." Wang Yan put away the bamboo stick, stood up and looked at a group of busybodies holding mobile phones, shook his head and smiled, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called the police.
This is the modern world, or the modern world two thousand years later. He would work hard to subdue people and call the police, and be a monkey for a while. If it were in the past, when there were not so many cameras, he would definitely break an arm of this healthy adult and then leave directly. He must be taught a painful lesson.
Xu Hongdou also reacted at this time. The mobile phone in her pocket was missing, so she asked the man on the ground for the phone.
"Catch the thief and catch the dirty, wait for the police to come. If he doesn't admit it, we can still check fingerprints or something." Wang Yan stopped him, and the call was connected. He communicated with the person at the police center, explained the location, and then hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.
Wang Yan looked at the busybodies around him and said loudly: "Friends, everyone can take videos, but don't talk nonsense. The scenery of the ancient city is very good, all kinds of food are delicious, and the friends here are enthusiastic. But this kind of stealing and trying to get something for nothing is everywhere. Don't make nonsense, maliciously smear, or even engage in regional discrimination."
He was speaking the truth. It is easy to get into trouble when there are too many people. This is a problem of people, not a problem of where people are. The country has been fighting pickpocketing for decades, coupled with ubiquitous cameras and the fact that cash is rarely used nowadays. Due to various reasons, thieves are almost gone and have switched to fraud or something.
That is, this is a scenic spot, and it is too crowded and lively, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it. According to the current police action, especially in the scenic spot, and under the camera that everyone takes a mobile phone to take pictures, even if he didn't catch him in the act today, when the police station receives the report, this thief will probably be arrested in a few days.
But many people don't think so. There are always people who confuse right and wrong, and have no thinking brains. They regard some occasional individual incidents as normal. This is part of the source of many noises on the Internet.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from all around. That being said, it is not clear how the specific video was sent out. It is mainly a problem in the comment area...
The police came very quickly. In places like this where there are dense crowds, there will be police officers on duty patrolling even if there is no police station, in order to ensure the safety of people's property.
In such a short time, many people have gathered here. The police came without much nonsense. They found Xu Hongdou's mobile phone from the thief, and then took him away directly. They also called Wang Yan to leave with Xu Hongdou, and went over to cooperate, register, record testimony, etc.
