Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 109 Hong Kong Clients
Katsuo said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, aunt, no, we are not a secret agency, we can fall in love and get married normally, there is no requirement, of course there may be a certain review of the marriage partner, but my level is not needs!"

My mother was picking up vegetables for Shengnan, and said: "That's good, that's good, it's not good for girls who are over 30 to have children!"

I hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are."

After eating, my mother took out a small box from the room, and there was a jade bracelet in the box, then took Katsuo's hand, and put it on directly.

The size is just right, Katsuo just wanted to refuse, my mother said: "This is passed down in our family for several generations, you can wear it, it will be unlucky to take it off."

Katsuo looked at me, then nodded silently.When Katsuo went to the bathroom, my dad curiously asked me and my mom in a low voice: "When did our family have a family heirloom, why didn't I know?" I spread my hands to express that I didn't know either.My mother smiled mysteriously and said, "I still have it!"

The exercise of walking after dinner started, and my parents went down to exercise.Sheng Nan and I were left, and Sheng Nan looked at the jade bracelet in his hand and said, "This gift is too expensive, I don't want to accept it." I said, "Then you can just talk to my mother directly." Sheng Nan said awkwardly : "Isn't that hurting the old man's heart? But I can't wear it when I'm on duty. What if I lose it?"

I said that there is nothing I can do, and I can find a way by myself.

After that, we watched movies in the room and chatted.Before we knew it, the two of us fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already morning.Katsuo was very embarrassed, and said to sneak away before my parents got up.So he tiptoed out of the room, and as soon as he went down a flight of stairs, he hit his right foot with his left foot and knelt down on the ground.It's so hard to die, my dad just came back from his morning exercise when Katsuo knelt down in front of my dad.

My dad hurriedly helped Shengnan up and said, "Our family doesn't have such a big ceremony. We still kneel and worship early in the morning. Get up, get up."

Katsuo was so embarrassed that he was about to jump off the building, but I laughed and said, "That's right, our family is not a royal family, so we don't need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future!"

Katsuo kicked me and said, "It's all because of you!"

I accompanied Shengnan back to the Zhuhai Hotel to pack up my things, then went to the shopping mall and bought some seafood for her to take back.

At noon, I came to a customer from Hong Kong, a very difficult female customer Jenny. She and her husband came to Zhuhai for vacation.I have no choice but to receive him. Katsuo will leave tomorrow, so I asked Katsuo to go with him.

Jenny chose a western restaurant at noon. My understanding is that it is expensive and not delicious.But people choose, there is no way.

His husband is a typical Hong Kong businessman, wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and never leaving his phone. Since we met, he has been on the phone all the time. I don’t think the Hong Kong Chief Executive may be as busy as him.When Jenny was young, she probably had some pretty looks, but now she is a middle-aged lady.

When ordering, her husband ordered a fruit salad, and Jenny ordered a steak, specifically saying that it should be medium rare.When the waiter asked Katsuo, Katsuo said he must be very familiar.Jenny immediately showed a disdainful expression, and said arrogantly: "Steaks are generally divided into medium-rare, medium-rare, and medium-rare. There shouldn't be very rare, right? I think medium-rare is too old." , I can’t taste the texture of beef at all, it’s best to be medium-rare, with bloodshot inside, it tastes fresh, tender and smooth.”

As soon as Jenny finished her sarcasm, I was going to refute her, but the waiter seemed a little uncomfortable with it, so he said: "This lady's steak must be very well done, our restaurant has some, I think all western restaurants have it." There should be some, after all, not everyone is used to eating raw or cold food, Chinese people still prefer to eat cooked food." After finishing speaking, he asked me politely: "What do you want?"

I looked at him with a smile and said, "I also want a well-done steak like this lady's."

Jenny's complexion changed, but she couldn't say anything.Throughout the meal, Jenny continued to serve her husband and shared her steak with him.But I clearly remember that once we ate, because we didn't use serving chopsticks, she accused us of being unhygienic in public.But today she is not the same.His husband seemed a little impatient, and kept saying, just eat by yourself.

In order not to be so embarrassed, Jenny chatted with Katsuo in the half-baked Hong Kong Pu, talking about some famous brands. First, she showed Katsuo the gold ring on her hand, and told Katsuo: "When you get married, buy The ring must come to Hong Kong, because the gold in Hong Kong is guaranteed for one. He said that it is 9999, and it will never be 999. Like mine, it is five nines of pure gold. Although it is a bit expensive, it is guaranteed. Really, it’s not like the gold in your mainland, it’s all a lie.”

Katsuo said neither humble nor overbearing: "I prefer diamonds. If I get married, I plan to go to South Africa."

Jenny then showed Shengnan the bag in her hand, telling Shengnan that it cost more than 1 yuan, and it was a new LV model that her husband just bought last month.

Katsuo didn't pick it up, but said to me: "The bag is worth more than what's inside, so what's the point of its existence? It's just for looking good?"

I looked at Katsuo's incomparable pride, held her hand, and said, "There is an old saying in China, which is very apt to describe it, gold and jade are beyond the surface, but within it is nothingness."

Jenny made fun of herself, but she soon recovered her smile and said, "Hong Kong is a very realistic place. If you don't dress yourself up well, no one will think highly of you. It may be a bit superficial to say it, but at least it shows that Hong Kong people are very They pay attention to appearance. But mainlanders don’t pay much attention to this aspect. You see people walking around in slippers all over the street, it’s very rude.”

I don’t know where her sense of superiority comes from. She compares everything with us and thinks that everything is better than us. Hong Kong is a small place, and the per capita housing area is less than 16 square meters. They rush around for three meals a day. Some of them will be there If you spit on the street, there will be people walking around wearing vests. There will be such and such people in every city. Why do we have to generalize?
If I don't need it for work, I really don't want to spend my precious time with Shengnan to accompany such a superior Hongkonger for dinner, spend my money, enjoy our convenience, but never say a word about us it is good.

When paying the bill, Jenny didn't mean to be polite at all, but her husband simply expressed it and said thank you.

Afterwards, they were going to Guangzhou. Jenny wanted me to take her there, but I firmly refused. I told her that I had an important meeting in the afternoon, and I really couldn’t leave. Her husband actually didn’t want to go at all. , I hurriedly said, since I don’t have time and we don’t know each other well, let’s go next time.Jenny anxiously said directly: "Next time I go, I won't be able to buy the latest super-A goods of Shangxiajiu." After finishing speaking, she immediately realized that she had slipped her tongue.

Her husband didn't seem to notice this at all, so he said, "How many bags do you have, so what if you have one more and one less?"

Jenny said unhappily: "But I promised people that I would help them bring their bags back."

Only then did I know that Jenny was going to Shangxiajiu in Guangzhou to buy counterfeit goods and then sell them to others so that I could be her driver.

I knew that if I didn't leave, I might really be entangled by Jenny, so I said to her: "Sister Jenny, my meeting in the afternoon is very important. I'm really going back to the company. Remember to come to Zhuhai when I have time." Kami Katsuo left without looking back.

Katsuo asked me: "Are you busy in the afternoon? Then I'll go back to the apartment and wait for you." I smiled and said, "What's the matter? I just don't want to be her driver. It happens every time. I'm the vice president of a company. , She is just a small buyer, ordering me to do things all day long, her boss dare not treat me like this, and I don’t know who gave her confidence, compatriots in Hong Kong and Macau are very realistic now.”

In the afternoon, I planned to spend time with Sheng Nan in the apartment to communicate with each other and develop further.But a policeman found the apartment and said he wanted to talk to me alone.I didn't agree, I said that if I want to talk, I need Katsuo to be with me, otherwise, don't talk, unless you have an arrest warrant.

The policeman had no choice but to agree. I hinted at Katsuo's recording, and Katsuo understood.

The policeman said: "The criminal suspect over there entrusted me to talk to you. I hope you can show your respect, let that kid go, and sign an understanding agreement. As for compensation, you can ask for it, and they will try their best to satisfy it." of."

I asked him: "Your name? Can you tell me the police number? Are you the person in charge of this case? What is your capacity to talk to me now?"

He froze for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just here to pass on a message."

I looked at him and said, "Then please go back? I have no intention of forgiving him. I hope to get a fair ruling from the law."

The policeman seemed a little anxious, and said, "Will the family members pay 20 yuan? This is a lot of money. According to the results of this type of case, you are not disabled, and 10 yuan is already a big mark."

I shook my head and said, "It's not about the money, I repeat, I want the justice of the law."

The policeman said angrily: "The result of the ruling is to pay you some money and then sentence him for a few years. Is it necessary?"

I firmly said: "If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the corresponding price!"

The policeman saw that the money could not impress me, so he changed his face and said: "Don't go too far, you don't want to give you face, then don't blame us for being rude?"

I asked with an oh: "You? Who else? Why are you going to be rude to me?"

The policeman threatened: "We know your home address and your company address. Do you think you will be safe? Think about it carefully. I will give you two days and I will reply in two days." After finishing speaking, he was very arrogant. away.
