This was the first time in my life that I handled an incident as a Yin person, so I couldn't help bragging about it in front of Wang Ba. Of course, when I was bragging, I exaggerated the power of He Shou Wu ten times or a hundred times, and the thrilling situation at that time ten times. In the end, I relied on my cleverness and the power of Shuang Tong to deal with the spirit of He Shou Wu.
Fortunately, Wang Ba didn't attack me this time, saying that I was slowly getting started. Wang Ba also said that when I was taking care of Zhao Yi Er, I worked hard to learn to listen to the strings, and I dealt with Chu Da by myself without help.
I was so proud of myself that I wanted to show him my own eyes so that I could show off in front of him, but Wang Ba refused.
When Wang Ba rejected me, his eyes flashed with a bit of helplessness, so I knew better and stopped talking about the double pupils. But in private, I looked in the mirror and watched my two eyeballs switching back and forth in my eye sockets. I found it very interesting and would look at the mirror whenever I had nothing to do. I even wanted to break the mirror.
Wang Ba's business grew bigger and bigger, and he had business dealings in Jingzhou and Enshi.
As a result, he brought a man to see me, a young man who was a scoundrel and made me very unlucky. I hate him so much when I think about it.
One day I was sleeping in the company, and Wang Ba and a young man walked in. I saw that they were going to discuss business , so I immediately sat up from the sofa. Wang Ba introduced me to the young man: "Lao Xu, a shareholder of our company, a major shareholder."
I shook hands with the young man.
The young man was quite handsome. He smiled and said to me, "Brother Xu, my last name is Deng, and my name is Deng Tong. I have heard President Wang mention you many times, and I have always wanted to come and meet you."
When I heard Deng Tong's Shashi accent, I had a good impression of her. After all, Wang Ba and I went to college in Shashi. I also saw that Deng Tong was only in his early twenties, but he was already running his own business. He was indeed a promising young man.
I was thinking about what I was doing in my early twenties, and I remembered that I was working as a security guard in the Three Gorges. I didn’t do anything except eating and sleeping every day. But I seem to be the same now.
Wang Ba started a meeting with Deng Tong, talking about some business matters. Since Wang Ba had said that I was a shareholder of the company, I couldn't leave, so I listened to them talking about business. I was so bored that I kept dozing off. But I also learned about Deng Tong's background. Deng Tong was from Shashi. His family had a herbal medicine store. He was a child of a noble family in Shashi. No wonder he could do business right after graduating from university. He happened to be in the herbal medicine business, and that's when he got to know Wang Ba.
I don’t know when they finished their business discussion, but when they woke me up, it was already dark.
Wang Ba hosted Deng Tong for dinner, but just as we sat down, Dong Ling called and said that the power switch at home had tripped and she wanted Wang Ba to go back and fix it. Wang Ba then left and asked me to accompany Deng Tong.
"Pay the bill before you leave." I reminded Wangba worriedly.
Deng Tong just laughed.
Deng Tong stayed in Yichang for a few days and became familiar with me. This guy is very good at dealing with people (Yichang dialect: understand the ways of the world), and he is generous. He treated me to drinks and singing every day. I felt embarrassed to always be treated by Deng Tong. I didn't have much money, so I had to go to Wang Ba to borrow money. Wang Ba had a bad face, and I didn't want to ask him for money even after I borrowed money from him twice.
one day,
Deng Tong smiled and said to me, "Brother Xu, are you having trouble with your work?"
I said, "Yes, I told you the truth. I am just a shareholder, but I won't get much money."
Deng Tong said: "In fact, your ability can make money, you just don't realize it."
When I heard this, I looked at Deng Tong and asked, "What do you know?"
Deng Tong smiled: "I know everything about you, Mr. Wang. My family has been selling medicinal herbs for a hundred or two hundred years, and we have had people like you before."
I turned my head and looked back at Deng Tong, "Let me hear what you say."
Deng Tong leaned closer to me and said, "You and Mr. Wang are both people of the cunning way, both are great sorcerers. Doing business is just a way for you to whitewash your identities, right?"
Deng Tong actually said this wrong, but this guy is so good at talking that I didn't have the heart to correct him, so I said, "It seems that you really know a lot of things. In fact, I am better than Wang Ba, no, Mr. Wang. I am a Yin person, and there are only three of them in a hundred years."
Deng Tong said: "Ah, is that so? I thought Mr. Wang was already one of the best sorcerers in the world, but I didn't expect you to be even better."
"You've gotten so much information about our affairs," I said to Deng Tong, "Tell me, what do you want from us?"
"You and Mr. Wang's skills cannot be lost like this." Deng Tong said seriously, "It would be a shame if the skills were lost."
"So you want to become my disciple." I suddenly realized, "You should have said so earlier, but Mr. Wang probably won't promise you."
Deng Tong was extremely disappointed, his face was grim, and then he said he had something to do and said goodbye to me. He didn't even bother to ask me if I was willing to accept him as his apprentice.
Two days later, Deng Tong came to the company again. Wang Ba was out for something, so he asked him to wait here. I asked Deng Tong, "What is the method you said last time that I can make money with my skills?"
Deng Tong was probably thinking about business and didn't hear me.
I then continued, "My greatest skill now is to recruit people, but I can't get money from people for this skill."
"Oh…" Deng Tong finally heard me talking and asked me, "Mr. Xu, what did you just say?"
Damn, Brother Xu has now become Mr. Xu. It's obvious that this guy looks down on others. I'm angry inside.
Deng Tong said, "Actually, I know you all know some arithmetic. We have a Taoist priest in Jingzhou who also participated in the Seven Eyes Spring. He mentioned what you can calculate… What can you calculate…"
"Counting sand," I said.
"Yes, it's sand counting." Deng Tong said, "This skill is amazing, just like reading wax, which can foresee some things."
"Yes, but you can't make money with this method," I said to Deng Tong, "I'm not good at fortune-telling with this skill either."
"I think Brother Xu is just upset," Deng Tong said, "He insists on telling people's fortunes. If you can tell the fortunes accurately, there are many ways to make money."
"Where can I find the money?" I scratched my head.
"That's about it, that's the idea." Deng Tong kept me in suspense.
"I can't figure it out," I admitted honestly. "I can figure out that there's a lot of money in the bank, but I can't get it."
"Buy lottery tickets." Deng Tong couldn't help it, "Why haven't you thought about this?"
"Yeah." I slapped my head, "Why the hell didn't I think of this."
"Let me join you in this partnership. If you win, you can give me half of the money." Deng Tong gave me two hundred yuan.
I immediately took it and went to the lottery station to buy lottery tickets. Halfway through, I thought to myself, why not buy more? So I went back to the company's residence and took out the more than 1,000 yuan of life-saving money hidden under the mattress. I happily ran to the lottery and sports lottery stations to buy lottery tickets.
I looked at the trend charts of the betting stations and used a counting sand to calculate the winning numbers. The two-color ball of the welfare lottery is: 0+3; the seven-star lottery of the sports lottery is:. I copied the trend chart and went home to calculate it again with a wax candle. It was still the same two sets of numbers. I felt more confident.
I bought several hundred tickets each, and I was so happy. In a few days, I would be a billionaire. I would no longer have to endure the wrath of the turtle. When the time comes, the miser will kneel before me and beg me for alms. I will then give him a cold shoulder and give him a few hundred million to get rid of him, just like a beggar .
Every day I think about what I will do after I become rich. How should I spend hundreds of millions of RMB? I must open a restaurant and ask the chef to cook whatever I want. Then I will go to Japan and bring Zeng Ting back home. . . . . . . .
I laughed out loud all the time, and Wang Ba saw it and said, "Madman, you are really stupid, what are you laughing at?"
Of course I won’t tell Wangba about my lottery purchase. I’m patient and I’ll wait until I get the money and then use it to hit him.
On the day of the lottery draw, I sat in front of the TV and watched the results. I was so excited that I thought I would be rich. But the numbers that came out were not the numbers I bought. I only got two of them right. Sports lottery was even worse. I only got one number right.
My dream of becoming a billionaire was shattered.
I tore the lottery tickets in my hand into pieces and cursed at the crumbs: "What the hell is this? It's useless!"
"This is what poor people think of gold and silver, which are as deep as the ground." While eating with Wang Ba, he pointed at me with his chopsticks and laughed.
Dong Ling was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
I had nothing to say. I was penniless now and was still hoping to eat at Wang Ba's house. I was depressed inside and didn't dare to retort.
"Deng Tong is not a decent guy." Wang Ba said, "Why would I fool you?"
"He just wanted to see if I had the ability." I sighed and said, "If I see him again, I won't let him go."
Wang Ba said, "Did you ever attend classes when you were in school? You studied college physics like a piece of shit."
"You are terrible at studying (in Yichang Gezhouba dialect: super bad), don't talk nonsense to me."
The turtle said: "Schrödinger's cat, the uncertainty principle, they don't even know this."
"I am a god damned charlatan," I couldn't help but scold him, "but I am not a scientist. If I can't figure it out, what's the point of all this math? Why am I so fucking cocky? Some idiots are trying so hard to learn it."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Dong Ling was reminding us not to go off topic.
I was indignant and ate my meal carefully, feeling sorry for the little money I had saved with great effort.
The doorbell rang, Wang Ba went to open the door, and saw Deng Tong with two hands full of gifts. I wanted to beat up this little bastard Deng Tong, but I really beat up Wang Ba's business partner. I could only pretend I didn't see it and continue eating.
When Wang Ba saw Deng Tong's expression, he immediately asked, "Xiao Deng, why are you so modest?"
Deng Tong put the things on the floor and knelt down.
This idiot wants to become a disciple, just like the turtle did when he saw Zhao Yier in the past.
Wang Ba's face changed, and he said to Deng Tong: "I have said it many times, we are business partners, forget about the rest."
Deng Tong ignored him and was about to kowtow, apparently he was going to call him "Master Turtle".
Wang Ba didn't know how to refuse. Dong Ling got mad, "Get lost!"
When I saw Dong Ling getting angry, I took advantage of her power and said, "Get out of here!"
Deng Tong must have made a great decision to become a disciple. He should have expected everything, except that there was a tigress in the cuckold's family. Dong Ling pointed at Deng Tong and cursed: "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
Deng Tong couldn't treat Dong Ling as normal, so she had to flee. Dong Ling was angry and threw all Deng Tong's gifts off the balcony, just like Zeng Ting's mother Guo Yu.
"The Deng family's business stall in Shashi is quite large…" Wang Ba was still explaining.
Dong Ling slapped the table and said, "Let's eat!"
I quickly ate up the rice in my bowl, left without saying anything, and let the couple quarrel so that I wouldn't be cannon fodder.
I said before that I was cheated by this guy Deng Tong. It wasn't about buying lottery tickets, but Deng Tong took me to the theater, which made me unlucky.
