Chapter 328: Journey South VI: Tranquility, Tranquility

I often think that if others read your book, they often have to go to Baidu, which is quite troublesome to read.

As a fortune teller, I have to come into contact with different people every day and often go to different places. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce people you have forgotten and places you may not have been to.

Let’s first talk about the place we are going to. It is called Boten, a national-level special economic zone in Laos, bordering Mohan Town in Yunnan.

Let’s put it this way: Mohan and Boten are two brothers, one in China and the other in Laos. Boten was originally a desolate place, but after being designated as a special economic zone by Laos, it has rapidly risen.

However, Boten is even less like being abroad than Mong Cai in Vietnam. When a leaf fell here and hit the first person, he cried out: Oh my God, why are leaves falling in the south too?

The second person responded: Brother, from your accent, you are from the north?

The third person joined in: What south and north, the accents have all been ruined by Zhao Benshan.

The fourth person responded: Brothers, are you all Chinese?

The fifth person responded: You just arrived, right?

Although it is a joke, it can be imagined that this is the world of Chinese people.

Only after we arrived at Kunming Airport did Mr. Chen realize the happiness of the trip, which began with the reception by true friends.

As soon as we got off the plane, Murong Feng sent his driver, Chen Xiaozhen, to pick us up. Chen Xiaozhen wasn't good at speaking, but he had at least three advantages.

First, his towering figure stood out from the crowd, and others knew he was either a special police officer or a bodyguard.

The moment he helped us carry the boxes, our value immediately skyrocketed.

People automatically made way for them - these people had high-level bodyguards, and were either rich or noble. Be careful not to get in their way or they might be knocked away by a punch from the bodyguards.

Mr. Chen felt very proud, and his face suddenly glowed, almost lighting up the hall.

Secondly, Chen Xiaozhen was very quick and agile. He quickly stacked the suitcases, looked around, got into the car, gave everyone a bottle of mineral water, reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts, and only started driving after everyone was fastened.

Third, he has good driving skills and feels very stable when sitting in the car, but the speed is also very fast.

As the car left Kunming, I received a call from Murong Feng. He asked me to pass the phone to Mr. Chen. I only heard Mr. Chen say from time to time: "Very good, very satisfied, thank you, thank you very much."

Mr. Chen handed the phone back to me and said, "Mr. Feng is such a thoughtful and kind person. He's so rich, yet so warm and thoughtful. It's rare."

My face was so bright that it could have lit up the entire car. Thinking back to Vietnam, having such a nagging guide like Hongzhi wasn't exactly fun, and I had to be on guard all the time.

The treatment is very different when you change the person who receives you: a luxury car will pick you up when you get off the plane, and as soon as you get in the car, you will receive a phone call to ask about your well-being.

Why do people talk a lot when they are drunk?

Because I'm excited.

At this point, Mr. Chen, as if he had had a few more drinks, started talking more. He told us that he had been to many places in Yunnan, such as Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang. He even sang a Dali folk song with great interest:

Golden flowers bloom, silver flowers bloom,

Golden flowers are blooming everywhere in Dali.

The mountains are beautiful, the folk songs are beautiful,

Dali is full of beautiful scenery.

Oh, Aglai——

Dali is full of beautiful scenery.

After the song was over, we all applauded. Mr. Chen said, "You young people, each of you should sing a song."

Ning Jing sang "The Mistake in the Flower Field" and Secretary Ma sang "A Village of One Person".

I was the only one left. Mr. Chen and I whispered, "Hongzhi is gone now. Let's remind Ningjing about the jade bracelet."

Mr. Chen asked, "Did you say you wouldn't remind her?"

I whispered, "I still need to remind you."

Mr. Chen nodded.

I said, "I'll sing 'Women Are Tigers.'"

Mr. Chen and Secretary Ma both laughed.

I sang:

(Singing): The young monk goes to beg for food, and the old monk has instructions.

I insert my own lines: What are you telling me to do? I know. (Everyone laughs)

(Singing): The woman down the mountain is a tiger. If you meet her, you must avoid her.

I insert my own line: I haven't left the mountain yet. I'm in the car now. (Everyone laughs)

(Singing): Passing through village after village, the little monk thought to himself, the tiger on the cart doesn't eat people and is actually cute. (Everyone laughs)

Insert your own lines: Tigers like this are the richest, spending eight thousand on a jade bracelet.

(Singing): Master, ah, ah, ah, tiger, come into my heart with the jade bracelet, come into my heart.

Everyone laughed wildly. Secretary Ma said, "You've fallen in love with the beauty with the jade bracelet."

I frowned and said, "No, I like her jade bracelet."

Ning Jing looked at this and then that and asked, "Did I buy my jade bracelet too expensive?"

Mr. Chen shook his head: "No. Expensive doesn't matter. As long as you like it, it's fine."

Ning Jing said: "Yes. I like this kind of blood-fat jade."

Secretary Ma asked, "Blood Fat Jade?"

Ning Jing said: "I knew he wouldn't sell it to me, so I asked Mr. Shu if the one on his hand was the same as the one in the box. He said yes."

Secretary Ma said, "Yes, he said they are the same, the discounted price is 8,000 yuan. You said you wanted to take it off to compare. So Boss Shu took it off and showed it to you."

Ning Jing said: "I scanned 8,000 yuan for him, put the one in the box down, put the one on his hand on my own, and told him to leave when you came in. So we left."

After hearing Ning Jing say this, Mr. Chen and I looked at each other in surprise.

I originally thought Ning Jing was a naive and innocent girl, but it turns out she is extremely smart.

Mr. Chen and I suddenly burst into laughter uncontrollably.

Ningjing looked at us and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

I said, "You are awesome. I want to be alone."

Ning Jing never understood what I meant. She asked, "Why am I so great? Almost everyone in our village has moved to Myanmar."

I slapped my thigh and said, "You said that. No wonder you know all the tricks of the jade business."

Ning Jing said: "He wants to deceive me, no way!"

Mr. Chen whispered in my ear: "The trip to Vietnam was a draw."

I thought to myself, Boss Shu, Boss Shu, you met someone who is more cunning than you. No wonder when we said goodbye, you just turned around and left before we even got in the car.

Next time you have to be smarter and wear a fake one on your hand.
