Chapter 567 Will I end my lonely life?
The next morning, I went to see Dana, and she was relieved of her diarrhea. After the diarrhea, she not only did not feel tired, but she seemed much more energetic.
I said to Chun: "The Chinese medicine is working. It is clearing the dampness in the body and expelling it through diarrhea."
Chunlai asked, "Is it good to have a proper laxative?"
"right."
Chunlai started acupuncture, and I left the room and went for a walk outside. As soon as I left the yard of Zhalun's house, my cell phone rang.
"Teacher Wan, I'm near this yard."
I looked around and saw a white car parked not far away.
"Is the car white?"
"right."
"Go 300 meters ahead."
The car stopped in the yard in front of the courtyard. When the door opened, a fat middle-aged man got out. His belly was so swollen as if he was pregnant that I almost couldn't recognize him.
He ran over, hugged me, and kept saying, "Finally, I see you. I see you."
I said, "I've gained weight. I'm so fat I can't even recognize myself."
He patted his belly and said, "I'm just fat in my belly, not anywhere else. Let's get in the car."
I hesitated: "Where to?"
"Go to my company. It's not far. A very quiet place."
I said, "I'm here to treat people, and my master has stipulated that I can't go out on the street."
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "I'll take a photo for the master later, and he'll be relieved."
Unable to resist his enthusiasm, I got in the car.
As the car drove forward, Luo Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "You treat illnesses? Did you switch to Chinese medicine?"
I then briefly introduced my situation.
He sighed and said, “I can’t believe you have changed so much in less than ten years.
He's become a famous doctor. The Charon family is well-known in Pattaya's business district, and he even asked you to treat his illness."
The two talked all the way to the foot of General Mountain. The car drove into a single-family courtyard at the foot of the mountain. There was a sign hanging in the courtyard, all in Thai.
He laughed and said, "I'm in the rubber business."
After entering the hall, he took me to a product exhibition hall, where there were rubber rubber, tires, rubber pillows...
I pointed to the pillow exhibit and said, "No wonder these rubber pillows have been so popular in China in recent years."
He laughed and said, "Sixty to seventy times out of ten, they are imported from me."
"You made it, the domestic market is huge."
Walk to another hall, it's full of sports equipment.
I asked, “Did you produce all of these?”
"Yes, I have a rubber factory."
From Luo Cheng's proud face, I can see that his business is going smoothly.
After the tour, he took me up to the second floor. The second floor was the office area, with people constantly coming in and out. When they saw us, they stood aside and waited for us to pass before moving on.
We entered a tea room, which was completely decorated in Chinese style, with carved mahogany sofas, Chinese wooden screens, carved pendants, mahogany tea tables, and Yixing purple clay tea sets. It was full of Chinese style.
"Teacher, please take a seat."
He started to make tea, put a pack of cigarettes on the table, and said with a smile, "I remember that the teacher smoked."
After saying that, he handed me a cigarette and lit it for me.
After brewing the tea, he poured me a cup and said, "Thai tea is no worse than Chinese tea. Please try it."
I took a sip and it was indeed refreshing and sweet.
Luo Cheng said: "In front of the teacher, I will introduce the situation over the years."
I smoked and looked at him with a smile.
"With your help, I got through that difficult time. I eventually quit my job. I once told you that I had an uncle who did business in the south. He actually sold jade on the China-Myanmar border."
I laughed out loud and said, "They're wearing a piece of cloth underneath and dressing up like Burmese people, just to trick Chinese tourists."
He also laughed: "How do you know?"
"I have a friend who is also in the business."
"Yes, they clearly understand Chinese, but they pretend not to. They only communicate with a few short Chinese sentences and gestures, and the effect is quite good. Some Chinese people are really rich."
"Yes, but I've only been doing this for half a year, and I feel like we shouldn't let our own people down.
Because I was cheated by others, my uncle was not satisfied. I had no choice but to leave and move to Thailand.
"Where's your wife?"
"She's the nicest person in the world. She's still with me. But she's managing the rubber factory now, and she had a business negotiation today, so she can't make it."
After saying that, he sent me a photo of his wife.
I said, "I have changed. I have become an entrepreneur with great temperament."
"Teacher, to be honest, I was destined to have a calamity, but it was all thanks to you that I was able to overcome it. Sometimes I think that if it hadn't happened, I would still be moving around between distribution points. At most, I would have been transferred to the headquarters as a mid-level manager."
I nodded and asked, "How did you get into the rubber business?"
"Pattaya was originally a paradise for the Chinese, and at that time there were two very popular businesses.
One option is to be a tour guide or run a travel agency. The other option is to open a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese restaurants here are all authentic Chinese restaurants.”
"Yes, we do business with Chinese tourists."
"At the time, I had no choice but to be tour guides with my wife. But I couldn't do it anymore.
Everyone wants to make money, but being a tour guide is a small job, so it's bound to be shady. I can't do it. So I'll let my wife be a tour guide while I find another job.
There was an old Chinese guy, a Chinese guy of Chinese descent, who owned a rubber factory. I think his family had been running the factory for over a hundred years, so it was a relatively stable business.”
"You have foresight. The tour guide industry and Chinese restaurants are in a slump right now."
"Yes, I was introduced to his factory and started selling there. It was the right path. China has a huge demand for rubber, so I became responsible for the Chinese business."
I smiled and said, "Tell me your birth date and I'll calculate it for you."
He gave his birth chart and said, "I remember you weren't very good at fortune-telling back then."
"Yes, at that time I mainly learned fortune-telling from Master Hongyi, and later I learned divination."
I read his horoscope and said, "Luo Cheng, you will have a hard time getting married."
He blushed and said, "My boss's daughter fell in love with me. My boss said that if I get a divorce, he will help me develop."
"You can set up your own factory."
"Yes. It's impossible not to be tempted. I asked my wife for a divorce..."
"Slow down, let me say this first, you can't live without this wife in your life."
After listening to this, Luo Cheng pulled out a tissue to wipe his eyes.
"Yes. She didn't say anything wrong about me. She just said, 'Go ahead and get a divorce.' I don't want to get married anyway."
"And then?"
"After hearing this, I felt so sorry for her, so I asked my boss to give me three months to think it over. As a result, during those three months, I failed to close the deal and even got into a car accident."
After saying that, he rolled up his pants, stood up and let me see his calves.
I looked at it, pinched it, and said, "No bones were hurt, but a piece of skin was torn off."
Luo Cheng said: "Yes, I stayed in the hospital for two months before I was discharged. After I was discharged, I resigned. I knelt in front of my wife and said, 'Give me ten slaps.'"
“Then you went into the rubber business on your own.”
"Yes, teacher, before I was thirty-two, I was not a good man."
I nodded. "Your fortune isn't particularly good. You need to meet a noble person in your life to prosper. So, you're living off your wife. Since you call me teacher, I'll be frank."
Luo Cheng nodded seriously. Then he said:
"I have two benefactors in my life: you and my wife. You must come to my place for lunch and come often to sit with me in the future.
First, you don't know many people in Thailand, so you can come to me and chat. Second, I love listening to you talk the most."
I nodded, thinking, this is quite a fortuitous encounter. He doesn't need a translator here, and he's a fan of mine. Plus, it's not that far away.
I guessed that Sasha and Chunlai had finished their morning work, so I pointed to my cell phone, indicating that I wanted to make a call.
I called Sasha and told her about the friend I met, who he was and where he lived.
She said, "Okay, I'll tell Mrs. Charon. So you won't be back until 2:30 pm?"
"Yes. I'll be back on time."
Luo Cheng said: "Zhalun doesn't know me, but he should know my company. Because this is not a factory, it's just the headquarters, and there are not many people."
While listening, I took a few photos and sent them to Sasha and also sent a WeChat message to Chunlai.
When I was done, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know Sister Li?"
"Yes. An important client came, and I invited her to the party as well."
"Oh, I see. She can make some extra money. She's not a top star, but like some of the more famous artists in China, she also works in brothels."
Luo Cheng said: "Teacher really knows everything."
After a while, Luo Cheng asked, "Teacher, if it was my friend, could you also tell his fortune?"
"If they are Chinese or of Chinese descent, it's okay to chat, but if they are pure Thai, forget it, as they don't understand Chinese culture."
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, "Teacher, pure Thai people also believe in fate, and they also have fortune tellers. I know a few of them. I'll tell you about a Thai fortune teller who told me my fortune. You might want to listen to it and communicate with them."
I said, "Tell me."
So, Luo Cheng talked to me about a street, a temple, and a person.
