Hu Qiang's Decision

Chapter 267 I, I really want to have a big brother like you
"No way, brother Aqiang, so you are really married and have a daughter?"

"That's not!"

Hu Qiang nodded, swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile: "My daughter is already in elementary school."

"Really?" Ma Li looked disbelieving, "You are so young, are you 25 years old, and your children are all in elementary school?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Hu Qiang, who had just taken a sip of yogurt, coughed immediately, and a wisp of white liquid sprayed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Ma Li quickly picked up a tissue, "Here, wipe your mouth."

"I'll just do it myself."

Hu Qiang quickly took the tissue handed over by Ma Li, not daring to let the other party wipe his mouth, that would be too ambiguous.

After wiping his mouth with a tissue, Hu Qiang shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm already 35, not 25."

"Isn't it?" Ma Li covered her mouth in surprise, "But you look really young."

"Hehe." Hu Qiang smiled contentedly, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, I really appreciate this compliment, thank you."

"I'm serious." Ma Li stared at Hu Qiang's face seriously.

"Brother Ah Qiang, look at your skin, it is fair, firm and elastic, without any wrinkles at all, let alone forehead lines, not even the corners of your eyes.

Just looking at your skin, you don't feel much older than my college counselor.

And the age of the skin can't deceive people. Even if it can be covered with cosmetics, it's okay to look at it from a distance. If you look at it up close, it can't be camouflaged.

Especially for old men who are over 30 years old, no matter how much they take care of themselves, it is impossible for them to have skin like yours.

So, don't lie to me, you must not be over 30 years old! "

Hu Qiang chuckled: "Well, it varies from person to person. How many people have you met? You can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot. Some people are naturally not easy to look old, and I am like this."

Yes, that's all Hu Qiang could say, otherwise he really couldn't explain it.

Could it be that I told her that my skin is so good, so small, mainly because of the system rewards?

That must not be the case.

Therefore, we can only insist on natural beauty.

After all, there are indeed people with this kind of skin that do not look old in reality, but the number is too small.

"Wow, this is really powerful." Ma Li looked at Hu Qiang's face enviously and said, "It's really enviable...I said your skin is great, if I have such a skin, it would be great."

Hu Qiang smiled: "Don't be envious, your skin is also very good, tender and tender."

"No way." Ma Li pursed her lips and pinched her face again, "Oh, since I graduated, my skin has been getting worse every year."

Hu Qiang laughed: "How old are you, you are only in your early twenties, so you are worried about this?"

"Of course." Ma Li smiled, "I'm a girl, and I rely on my face to make a living. A girl like me who relies on my appearance to make a living must worry about this."

"That's right." Hu Qiang smiled, "I thought you lived off your skills, after all, your guitar is good at talking, and your singing is also good."

"Where is it?" Ma Li pouted, "I was a little confident at first, but when compared with you, I, I... lost confidence in an instant."

Immediately afterwards, Ma Li said excitedly: "By the way, Brother Aqiang, why don't we form a group for a live broadcast? With your looks and talent, you sing and I dance. If you have over a million fans, you will definitely make money. !"

Hu Qiang smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm an office worker. I'm very satisfied with my life now, and I don't want to change careers for the time being."

"What's the point of being an office worker?" Ma Li said, "By the way, how much do you earn in a month in that class? Is it [-]?"

Hu Qiang smiled and shook his head.

"Isn't it?" Ma Li said, "You don't have [-], so why don't you work with me, and I promise you a monthly income of... [-], [-] is the minimum!"

"Hahaha." Hu Qiang smiled, "Thank you, but what I mean is, I am more than [-] a month, and I don't like a life that is too stressful, so I kindly accept it."

Indeed, Hu Qiang is currently working in the emergency department. He usually just fishes, plays games, and then passes on the work reports submitted by his subordinates. The work intensity is not high.

Moreover, the Ministry of Emergency Affairs is not only a novice village, but also a sacred place for earning points. There are simple small tasks every now and then.

With such a high income, the work is so easy, and the key is that he can earn many rewards that cannot be earned in the category of skills, so why would he change jobs?

To be honest, I'm staying in the emergency department, isn't it good to work hard on the system?

Not to mention, he has developed feelings for a group of subordinates in the emergency department, and it is really difficult to part with them.

"Don't talk about me." Hu Qiang smiled and picked up another skewer, and then turned the defense into an offense, "Let's talk about you, why did you appear in that piano store?"

Ma Li didn't suspect him, and sure enough, she started talking about her with Hu Qiang.

According to Ma Li, her hometown is in the capital city, and she came to study after she was admitted to the conservatory here after the college entrance examination.

After graduating from university, he did not choose to go back, but stayed.

It's just that she doesn't apply for a job with a company like Sha Lele, but she starts a live broadcast and makes videos by herself, and starts her own business.

Her live broadcast content used to be mainly entertainment, that is, singing and dancing, and occasionally brought goods.

It's just that her traffic wasn't high enough at the beginning, so she couldn't carry the brand.

Now, because the number of real fans has exceeded 50, she has a certain amount of traffic, so she can cooperate with more merchants.

For example, the confidant piano store is her partner. She usually broadcasts live broadcasts, and the main products she sells are musical instruments from that piano store, mainly guitars.

Ma Li not only sings and dances to sell guitars, she also teaches guitar online, that is, sells courses.

According to her, she already has many online students, and the monthly income from teaching students alone can exceed [-].

On the contrary, she had a lot of fans on Douyin in the past, but they actually brought very little profit.

It's just that her income from selling lessons and the number of fans complement each other.

The better the performance of the live broadcast, the better the effect of her course sales, because more people will buy her courses.

Now, the number of her fans has exceeded 50, and her income from selling lessons and pianos has also increased.

Not to mention anything else, anyway, last month, she earned 5 yuan, which is an unprecedented high income.

When she came to the piano store just now, she came to settle the bill with the owner of the piano store, because their settlement method is calculated once a week.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Hu Qiang in the piano shop.

Ma Li knew very well that most of the reason for her fan surge was due to Hu Qiang's flamboyant operation that night, which created a certain topic.

Especially the song that Hu Qiang sang that night has spread in a small area.

So Ma Li took the initiative to invite Hu Qiang to dinner this time. First, she really wanted to thank Hu Qiang. Second, she actually wanted to formally cooperate with Hu Qiang and start a live broadcast together.

According to Ma Li, if the two of them cooperate well, they will surely become a queen with over [-] million fans, and it will not be a dream to earn [-] a month by then.

Not to mention, Hu Qiang was relieved after hearing Ma Li's statement.

Because this means that the reason why Ma Li invited him to dinner so enthusiastically was not because of his appearance, nor because he wanted to develop a relationship with Hu Qiang, but because of his talent, and because he wanted to cooperate with him. Make money live streaming.

To put it bluntly, Ma Li's initiative was within the reasonable range, not some bloody unreasonable accident like love at first sight.

This made Hu Qiang feel more at ease.

Yes, as long as it is not an ambiguous relationship between men and women, then Hu Qiang is willing to accept another young female friend.

"Sorry, I'm really not interested." Hu Qiang smiled and shook his head, "I'm very satisfied with my life now, and I don't want to change careers for the time being."

"Don't think about it anymore?" Ma Li asked with a frown.

Hu Qiang smiled and shook his head again.

Ma Li sighed: "Okay, then let's leave a contact information.

After all, in such a big city, it is fate to meet again.

And I invited you to dinner this time, you won't refuse to contact me again, will you?

I don't mean anything else, I just want a contact information, even if it's just an ordinary friend? "

Hu Qiang smiled: "Yes, of course."

After that, Hu Qiang and Ma Li exchanged contact information, such as phone numbers and WeChat.

After adding Hu Qiang's WeChat, Ma Li immediately smiled happily: "Hey, I finally have your contact information, great!"

Speaking of this, Ma Li turned her head and looked at the violin box next to Hu Qiang: "By the way, Brother Aqiang, I see that you just bought a very expensive violin, don't you not only play the guitar well, but also the violin? "

Hu Qiang also looked at the violin box next to him, and nodded with a smile: "I understand."

"That's amazing." Ma Li asked with a smile, "Can you tell me?"

"This... another day." Hu Qiang looked around, "It's so late, and there are so many people here, it's not suitable."

"Then let's go to a place where no one is around." Ma Li said immediately.

"This is even more inappropriate." Hu Qiang shook his head quickly.

"What's wrong?" Mary asked.

Hu Qiang smiled wryly: "Ma Li, you and I are alone, we haven't known each other for a long time, and we don't know each other very well. It's really inappropriate to rashly go to a place where no one is around."

Ma Li blinked: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? I believe you are a good person and won't do anything to me."

Speaking of this, Ma Li suddenly took out her mobile phone: "How about this, tell me your phone number, work unit, and home address. I know you better, so I don't have to worry about you plotting against me."

Hu Qiang squinted his eyes: "What do you want to do? You haven't given up yet, you still want to stalk me, you still want to lure me into a gang?"

Ma Li stuck out her tongue: "Hey, I was discovered by you, but don't worry, I won't stalk you, I just, well, I just think you are a good person, and I just want to make you a friend."

"Ah? Make friends?" Hu Qiang was taken aback.

"Yes, make a friend." Ma Li sighed, "After all, in this city, I really don't have many friends, and I really want to have a friend."

"Isn't it?" Hu Qiang frowned, "Don't you have any friends yourself?"

"How should I put it?" Ma Li rubbed her chin, "Well, I definitely have friends, but I don't have many friends I can talk to.

The problem is that my friends who can really talk to each other have now gone their separate ways, and they are not in this city.

So, if you want to ask me if I have good friends, I definitely do.

But if you want to say whether I have any good friends in this city, that is no.

I say that, do you understand? "

"Ah, that's it." Hu Qiang nodded, "If you say that, then I understand."

"So." Ma Li smiled and stretched out her right hand, "Let's make friends again, Brother Aqiang?"

Hu Qiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook hands with the other party lightly, then withdrew his hand and said:

"By the way, you haven't known me for long, why do you insist on asking me to be your friend?

You don't know much about me, so you're not afraid of being mistaken?
Are you not afraid that I am a bad person? "

Ma Li smiled and picked up a skewer: "Well, how should I put it, even though I am young, I am quite good at reading people.

Anyway, look at you, you are pretty good, a bit like my dad.

My dad is a good old man, you are a bit like my dad, that's not bad, at least you won't be a bad guy, right? "

"Your father?" Hu Qiang frowned, "You still look a bit like him? Where is it? Am I that old?"

"Of course you are younger than my dad." Ma Li said with a smile, "but your eyes, demeanor, and manners are all very similar to my dad. You are so, um, old-fashioned and always like to educate people. .”

"Old-fashioned? Like to educate people?" Hu Qiang laughed, "I'll take you as a compliment."

Ma Li chuckled: "How about this, since we are friends, I will find a time another day and ask you to go out with my sister-in-law?"

Hu Qiang smiled faintly: "Let's talk about it."

Ma Li looked at Hu Qiang's expression, blinked, and did not continue to ask, but said:

"By the way, you haven't given me your phone number and WeChat yet. You give me your contact information, and I'll give you my contact information. We can contact each other. This is a friend."

Hu Qiang nodded: "Okay, this is for you."

After speaking, Hu Qiang exchanged mobile phone numbers and WeChat with the other party.

After exchanging contact information, Hu Qiang ate the last skewer, then took a tissue to wipe his mouth, and stood up directly.

"Ma Li, it's getting late, I should go back, as for this meal, let me treat it to you."

"Don't!" Ma Li also stood up quickly.

"Okay, I invite, how can you please?

And it's rare for us to meet, and we chatted so well, how about we play together for a while?
Me, I invite you to disco?

If you don't like it, find a place to have a drink?
I don't like it either, so... By the way, let's find a place to meet friends with a piano? "

Hu Qiang shook his head again: "Okay, I accept it kindly, but I am very tired today, and I still have some work to do, so I will go back first.

As for meeting friends with the piano, let’s talk about it another day, and make an appointment for another day, okay?

Anyway, you already have my contact information, right? "

Ma Li frowned, but seeing that Hu Qiang had made up his mind to go, she had no choice but to say regretfully: "Okay then, let's make an appointment later?"

"Let's make an appointment later." Hu Qiang smiled and nodded.

"Wait a minute!" Ma Li said suddenly, "Wait a moment first!"

"What's the matter?" Hu Qiang, who was about to turn around and leave when he lifted the piano case, stopped, "Is there anything else?"

Ma Li rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Well, you see it's so late, it's not safe for me to go back as a girl, and I have to take a taxi when I go back, it's too expensive to take a taxi alone.

Or, let's carpool, and then you take me home first?

After you send me back, you can go back, okay? "

Hu Qiang thought for a while and said: "It's okay to carpool, and I can also send you off first, but I won't go to your house, and I won't get out of the car. After you get off the car, I will go directly by car."

Ma Li frowned: "In that case, aren't you worried that I will be in danger after getting off the car?"

Hu Qiang said with a smile: "Don't be stupid, this is Shanghai, the law and order is very good, what danger can there be? If there is danger, you will not run around in such clothes, and it is impossible to live broadcast on the side of the road in the middle of the night.

So, I can carpool, or I can take you off first, but let’s just take you home, I’m really tired. "

"Oh, don't you see it through." Ma Li pouted and patted the guitar case next to her, "I thought I could have more people to help me move the guitar, you are too ungentlemanly."

Hu Qiang laughed: "Please, we are just ordinary friends at best now, and I'm not your licking dog, why do you want to be thankless?"

"But he's very cute." Ma Li made a heartfelt gesture with both hands, "Look at me, a girl, don't you feel bad when you have to carry such a big piano home at night? Can't you help me?" ?”

Hu Qiang raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "If you keep doing this, I won't even carpool."

"How stingy!" Ma Li pouted, "I just invited you to dinner."

Hu Qiang continued to calmly say: "I didn't invite you on my own initiative. Besides, why did you invite me to dinner? You don't have any idea?"

"But didn't you agree to cooperate with me?" Ma Li said.

"That's good." Hu Qiang nodded, and took out his mobile phone, "I'll go to pay the bill, this meal is mine, let's not contact each other in the future."

"Hey hey!" Ma Li put her hands together and begged for mercy with a smile, "Don't, don't, I'm joking.

Brother Aqiang, please stop being like this, I really want to make friends with you.

Me, I would love to have a big brother like you. "

Hu Qiang raised his eyebrows and said with a broken smile: "Okay, stop acting, even if you call me my brother, I won't partner with you in the live broadcast."

Ma Li was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said: "When it comes to live broadcasting, I didn't say it, Brother Qiang, in fact, doing live broadcasting these days is really profitable, and it's also very free, isn't it better than going to work as a social animal?

In fact, you are really talented, and you really have the talent to do this.

How about it, Brother Qiang, think about it again.

How about this, you come back with me tonight, let's go live together and try it out?
No more? "

Hu Qiang smiled slightly: "Okay, that's it for today, let's make an appointment later when you have time!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Qiang waved his hand, picked up the violin case, turned around and left.

Ma Li was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said loudly: "Don't go, wait for me, let's carpool together!
Hey, why are you still leaving?
Stop, stop!
Wait for me, brother Ah Qiang!

Don't leave me, little sister! "
