Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 214 Wedding Gift
One day, their landlady knocked on their door to demand the rent, but the painter refused to open the door and hid at home.Knowing that he was at home, the landlady yelled and cursed very badly. The painter couldn't hold back for a moment, pushed open the door and argued with the landlady, and accidentally pushed the landlady down the stairs, and the landlady hit her head on the ground , the head was bleeding, the artist was not intimidated, but was inspired, so he drew this scene. After simply disposing of the landlady's body, he took the painting to sell on the street, but unexpectedly sold it .

So the painter started his criminal career. Whenever the money ran out, he would kill someone and then paint the scene of the murder. Every painting sold well. He thought he could live a better life , But man is not as good as God, his first wife was seriously ill, the artist had to call the doctor and ask him to come to see a doctor at home, but the doctor asked for a very expensive medical fee before he was willing to go out.The painter had no choice but to agree, and looked for prey again, killing people to make money.

I ran into a middle-aged man in the underground parking lot, beat him to death with a hammer, and drew a picture. After selling the money, I waited for the doctor to arrive, but when her first wife died of an illness, the doctor did not wait. , Only after hearing it the next day did I know that the person he killed in the underground parking lot was the doctor.

The painter regretted so much that he decided to commit suicide. Before he died, he used his own blood to paint the "Speaking of His Mountain". After his death, someone found him at home, and also found this priceless treasure. "

After finishing speaking, Lao Feng curled his lips and said: "Make it up, you can continue to make it up, I will give you a blank sheet of paper, and you can call it a world famous painting."

Shenghua said from the back: "I can prove this. There is indeed such an allusion to what Ah Fei said that eight and nine are inseparable from ten." After finishing speaking, Shenghua took out a pair of watches and said, "This is what the second brother gave you. As a wedding gift, you also know that I don’t have much money, so don’t hold it against me!”

Yaoyang took the watch and said: "Second brother, you will be offended if you say this, don't say this watch is valuable, it is worthless, as long as it is a gift from second brother, I like shit."

Sister Min spat and hit Yaoyang.

Liu Sheng also took out a key from his pocket and said: "During this period, I was wrong. I was not here when you were so old. Brother taught me well. This is an apartment, but it is a little small. Give it a try. Let Sister Min's parents live here, and use it as Sister Min's dowry."

Sister Min refused to accept it, and said reproachfully: "This is not acceptable, it is too expensive, I can't take it."

Yaoyang smiled and said: "San'er, brother didn't blame you, you are busy, how could brother blame you, I will accept the house, let me use it first, that's fine."

Lao Feng saw that everyone was giving presents, so he also took out a jewelry box, handed it to Sister Min, and said, "I'm a rough person, so I don't know what to give you. These are a pair of necklaces. I bought them in Cape Town when I went abroad." , one of you two, I think the gold necklace on Yaoyang's neck is too rustic, like a dog chain, wear mine, at least it has a bit of culture."

Yaoyang and sister Min said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Feng!"

Katsuo and I were left alone. I looked at Katsuo and nodded to her. Katsuo took out a big bag and opened it. There was a robot inside. I took the remote control and turned on the switch. He ordered: "Xiao Xiao, go and get me a glass of water." The robot waited for a while, the lights in its eyes lit up, and slowly walked to the table, holding the water glass with his iron hand, holding it a few times before barely I picked it up, and just took two steps, the water glass fell to the ground.

Old Feng sneered, "Did the show fail?"

I complained: "This thing is still immature, but it must be no problem to sweep the floor. Last time you went to my apartment and said that you like my modernization. Here is a more modern one for you. Artificial AI intelligence is that they are still developing At this stage, this robot is not very flexible in its hands and feet, Yaoyang, you can make do with it."

Yaoyang looked at the robot very happily, and said to me: "I like this thing, and someone will do the housework in the future, and you can talk to me when you are bored. By the way, is this a man or a woman? Huh? Turn around, I'll ask someone to make a dress for it, it's not elegant to be so naked all the time!"

Sister Min laughed and scolded: "Why do you look at everything with colored eyes? You can't be serious? Thank you, A Fei Shengnan."

The next day, at night, Sun Shengguo invited us to a well-known state-banquet-level restaurant. When I brought my parents in, Sun Shengguo was already waiting outside the door, showing no airs of leadership.

After seeing my dad, he said in surprise, "Chen Gong, it's really you. I haven't seen you for so many years."

We were all dumbfounded, how could we know my dad? My dad has been retired for many years.

My dad was stunned for a moment, not thinking of Sun Shengguo, put on his glasses and looked carefully, and said, "Who are you?"

Sun Shengguo let us in, sat down and said: "In 93, you published the article "One Machine Will Change the Future" in the Ministry of Industry, and in 96 the article "Where Do Several State-owned Enterprises Go?" There is "A Dictionary of Transliteration of Information Codes", and I have also heard your public lectures at China Normal University and Harbin Institute of Technology, I am Sun Shengguo, don't you remember?"

As soon as my dad heard the name, he stood up again and said politely: "I'm really sorry, I'm old and my memory is not very good. I really don't remember people, but your name is like a thunderbolt. Everyone knows me, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Sun Shengguo stood up like a primary school student, and then asked my father to sit down and said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, I used to be half of your student. When you were asked to work in the Ministry of Industry, you just refused to go. In the end, you went to the south, and your scientific research results are still being widely used."

My dad said modestly: "Those things written in the early years were also unrealistic things. When I was young, I was arrogant and did not listen to the advice of my mentors. In the first wave, the result was a crushing defeat, let alone the past, let alone the past."

I was a little proud and asked my dad: "Dad, did you write so many books before? Are you so famous?"

My dad glared at me and said, "What nonsense, when did I become famous? I'm not a star, but when I was young, I liked to specialize in research."

Yaoyang flattered my dad and said: "I knew that our dad is not an ordinary person, he has the air of a scholar, I saw many books in our study that day, all with the same name, it's strange , why does my dad like to read this man's book so much, it turns out he wrote it himself. Ah Fei, you can be considered a scholarly family!"

Sun Shengguo glanced at Yaoyang and said, "You don't need to intentionally raise my status as a teacher. In my opinion, there's nothing to say to him. I only have one requirement for my brother-in-law, duty-bound, progressive, and good character!"

Yaoyang said casually: "You have three requirements!"

Sun Shengguo glared at Yaoyang and said, "You are the only one who knows how to count, right? I invite you two elders to come this time. First, I want to apologize to your elders. Our family didn't make good arrangements for what happened last time. Second, I want to Discuss with your two elders about their marriage, they are both grown up, it's time to make a decision."

My dad nodded and said: "Shengnan is a good boy, and we like him very much, but Xiao Fei married Shengnan, is it a little bit high, after all, our family background can be regarded as a well-off level."

Before Sun Shengguo could speak, Shengnan hurriedly said: "Not high, not high, just right, just right." After she finished speaking, she realized that everyone was looking at her, so she blushed and hid aside.

Sun Shengguo laughed and said: "Girls are extroverts, do you hate marriage so much? But, you are right, you are not high-ranking at all. A Fei is pure in nature, motivated, smart, and well-educated. You are an intellectual, well-educated, and better than men. It is her blessing to be able to join your family, I am in charge of this marriage, as long as the two elders agree, we will pick a good day and get married."

My mother said happily: "That's great. I'm looking forward to having a grandson, and my hair is turning white. Don't wait for Yaoyang and Xiao Min's children to go to elementary school, theirs haven't come out yet."

Katsuo blushed and said, "Mom, it's too early for you to say this."

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "Yo, yo, yo, you don't have to be ashamed to call each other!"

In the end, our wedding day was set on the [-]th of the National Day. My mother took out a jade bracelet from her bag and put it on for Shengnan, saying it was a pair.

I pursed my lips and whispered to my mother: "Mom, you just went to the street to buy it yesterday, and the colors are different, so you have to pay for it!"

My mother hit me on the head and said, "It's true. Your grandma passed it on to me."

Since there are still many things waiting for me in Zhuhai, we decided to fly back to Zhuhai tomorrow. Before leaving, Sun Shengguo had another talk with me alone.

Sun Shengguo said earnestly: "Xiao Fei, I'm not worried about the matter between you and Sheng Nan, but I still need to remind you more about your career, make good use of these two years, lay a good foundation among the masses, and get to know more Some people have accumulated certain connections and management experience, and finally they have to come out and start their own businesses.”

I nodded and said, "Brother, I have thought about starting my own business. The main reason is that I don't have enough funds and experience. You also know that our business costs tens of millions, and a piece of equipment costs several million. Such a large I can't afford the sum of money, and I can't afford the risk."

Sun Shengguo said: "I know it's not the time yet, but you must have such an idea. You will only do it when you think about it. How can you do it if you don't even dare to think about it. When you can start a business, I will Naturally, I will help you. Our family is only your material for doing business. In the future, you will have to bear not only your own world, but also a large family. The burden on your shoulders is not light. Remember to think twice before acting. You need to calm down whenever you face a major event.”

I nodded.
