Chapter 480: Meeting Jing Bosen by chance, finally got news about Lan Xin
I drank a little too much last night and overslept today. I woke up at around 9:00. When I asked Sister Guihua, she said Xiaolin drove to the training center.
I went downstairs and saw my mother cross-stitching. She got up and made me some noodles. Afterward, I prepared to go to Mr. Fang's place and have Shitou made a stand for me.
Xiaolin drove the car away. I decided to buy a bicycle.
People in the neighborhood often ride bicycles to exercise. Those bicycles are very expensive, but I just want to buy an ordinary one.
I walked towards the commercial street and saw a bicycle shop right at the entrance. I walked up to the counter and called out, "Boss, are you there?"
After a long while, someone straightened up from behind the counter.
When he stood up straight, he was stunned, and so was I.
"Teacher Wan?"
"Jing Bosen?"
After the two of them were surprised, he said, "Come in and sit down."
I also thought it was a chance encounter, so I went in. Inside was a square table with three stools. Jing Bosen hurried to make tea.
He placed the tea in front of me and asked, "Why do I meet you here?"
"I live nearby. By the way, you used to be a script supervisor on the crew. Why didn't you do that?"
He shook his head and sighed, "Ever since the pandemic, there's been no filming. Aside from the top stars, even washed-up celebrities and some smaller names have lowered their prices and are selling merchandise on Douyin every day."
After I lost my job, I returned to my hometown and stayed there for a few months before opening a shop here last year."
I said, "The actors have no roles to play and are competing with ordinary people for a living. In fact, they have made enough money in the past and can just live off their savings. There is no need for them to come out and promote products."
Jing Bosen said: "That 'Pan Condensed' guy made a complete fool of himself by selling alcohol online. Netizens are begging him to stop making such a fool of himself. If he does, all the little goodwill people have for him will be completely eroded."
"Pan Concentrated? Oh, I see. Concentrated is the essence."
We chatted for a while, and I suddenly thought of Lan Xin. So I asked, "Oh, I have an acquaintance, that Lan Xin. How is she doing now?"
Jing Bosen rolled his eyes and said, "There is no one in the world more childish than her."
"Childish? Last time in Three Kingdoms Water Margin City, didn't you say she was very scheming? She would put on a smile for anyone who was useful to her. But she would turn a cold, dead face on anyone who was useless to her."
Jing Bosen said: "That's right. She didn't just smile, she slept with him. But in the entertainment industry, directors don't just use whoever they sleep with. If the movie they make doesn't make money, it's their own fault."
Lan Xin's acting is terrible. Others slept with her and only allowed her to play roles with one or two lines. She then wrote an article saying that heroines are made by sleeping with others.
Isn't this destroying her own future? So, no director wants her, and she's not even allowed to play minor roles, which is like being collectively banned."
I exclaimed in my heart: Oh my god, if Master really wanted to marry her to me at that time, wouldn’t my head be covered in green?
"What now?"
"She married a rich black man. He was the son of a chief and was studying in Shanghai. He boasted to her about his family's wealth. He actually gave her some money and a car.
She would post pictures of her celebrity lifestyle every day, visiting high-end places. Later, she returned to China with her African husband. Now she's become a baby-making machine. I heard her husband wants her to have four children, saying it would be a waste if she didn't have such beautiful genes.
After saying this, Bosen burst into laughter.
I couldn't laugh. To be honest, I'm a very soft-hearted person sometimes. After all, she is my master's niece. My master's family had something wrong, and my niece is not doing well.
A person lives in the hope that the next generation will live better than themselves. No wonder Master and his wife never mentioned Lan Xin.
I remember that in the past, they always called Lan Xin "little baby" and praised her for being well-behaved and beautiful.
My heart ached. If Lan Xin was Master's daughter, she would have grown up well. It was a pity she was born into the wrong family.
Jing Bosen didn't know that Lan Xin and I had such a relationship, so he said, "I have her WeChat. Do you want to check her out? She's a joke among the people of Wuxiang."
I said, "She sent WeChat messages, but her husband couldn't see them?"
"There are many ways. One is to block her husband. The other is that foreigners usually use Facebook. She uses two accounts, one WeChat and one Facebook."
Jing Bosen handed me his phone while speaking. I looked at it and saw that her latest post read:
"I gave birth to one, and you want me to give birth to three? I'm just a tool for your family to give birth to babies? I was so blind that I came to this damn place. Dear ones, who can save me?"
My heart ached. This figure was as fat as a pig, holding a girl in his arms. I returned the phone to Bosen, not wanting to talk about Lan Xin anymore. I changed the subject and said:
"Everyone buys bicycles online. Do you think you can open a physical store?"
Jing Bosen said: "I also sell them online. There are a few workers in the backyard helping me pack them and ship them directly. As for the ones in the store, I sell them if someone buys them. The main purpose is to show online that I have a physical store."
"Oh. I want to buy a regular bike so I don't have to drive in the neighborhood."
"No problem. Here's a catalog. Pick the one you want and I'll have the workers assemble it for you right away."
I flipped through it and said, "This is it."
He stood up and said, "It will be installed in ten minutes." After that, he opened the back door and went to instruct the workers to assemble it.
I think Lan Xin was deceived by the black foreign student. Maybe the chief is indeed rich, but when she got there, her black husband didn't take her seriously.
There are a lot of reports about this online. Black students studying in China are boasting about it. They're saying they'll love only her forever. Oh, hey, go back to Africa and marry ten. Anyway, if you bring a few cows over, you can bring back a wife.
I used to dislike Lan Xin a bit, but now I feel a bit sorry for her. She's going to have to go back to China from that barbaric environment, and she'll be skinned alive if she doesn't die.
Perhaps it was retribution, having such parents raised such a vain daughter. Not only was she vain, but she was also very childish.
After a while, Jing Bosen came out carrying a car and said, "Teacher Wan, I personally checked and assembled it for you. Don't worry, the quality is guaranteed. It's fully inflated, you can try it now."
I weighed it and it was very light. Jing Bosen explained, "It's a carbon fiber frame, so it doesn't feel very heavy when you lift it, but it's actually stiffer than a steel frame."
I rode around outside for a while and came back and said, "Okay."
"If it's okay, I'll help you load the basket."
He called a man out to load the basket and put an air pump in it. He said, "Okay, you can ride back now."
I said, "How much is it in total?"
Jing Bosen said: "I'm giving it to you."
"That won't work. You're not a bicycle manufacturer."
Jing Bosen laughed and said, "Teacher Wan, I didn't listen to you back then. I kept going around in circles but never made a name for myself. Next time, I'll come and ask you for advice. I'll add you on WeChat first."
After adding WeChat, I said, "I'm not short of money. If you need support, it's me who will support you. The money will be counted."
Jing Bosen said, "Teacher Wan, you're being too formal. I'm really upset that you're counting money. I finally ran into an acquaintance in this place, and even acquaintances are being so businesslike with me, afraid I'd get involved. Don't you think I'm upset?"
Having said that, I felt embarrassed, so I said, "I'll send you a location. Come to my house when you have time."
I rode home and set up my bike. My mother saw it, came out of the living room, looked at the bike, and said, "That's great. So many people are riding bikes around the lake to get some exercise."
I returned to my study, ready to send a WeChat message to thank Jing Bosen, but to my surprise, he had already sent me one:
"Teacher Wan, the biggest mistake I made in my life was not listening to you and settling down to study for the postgraduate entrance exam. If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have achieved anything.
A person’s greatest luck is to meet someone one day who breaks his thinking, improves his understanding, and elevates his realm.
I once encountered it, but I missed it. I hope you can guide me more in the future. "
I thought about it and replied:
"When we have time, let's have a good chat."
I took the stone out, tied it to the back rack, and prepared to go find Mr. Fang. Suddenly, I stopped and called Jing Bosen:
"Please send me Lan Xin's WeChat."
Jing Bosen hesitated for a moment.
I added, "She's my relative."
Jing Bosen said: "Okay. I'll send it to you right away."
I rode my bike to Mr. Fang's place.
