Chapter 190 Another Woman Who Calls You Brother
On Saturday morning, the sunlight was mild, the sky was clear, and the blue sky was endless, with few white clouds.
Jiang Qin went to the girls' dormitory to pick up Feng Nanshu, intending to take her to visit He Yijun's home.
Today the rich lady was particularly cool and aloof, wearing a cool black outfit. After seeing Jiang Qin, she did not show her usual silly temperament. Her lips were rosy and translucent, and she seemed to have put on a little bit of lipstick.
"Brother, let's go."
"Why do you call me brother as soon as we meet? You are being a bit unsportsmanlike today!" Jiang Qin was numb.
Feng Nanshu sat in the passenger seat seriously, exuding a cold temperament: "Brother, take me to see another woman who calls you brother."
"Fuck, who taught you this?"
"I learned it from Wenhui." Feng Nanshu felt a little guilty but confident.
Jiang Qin looked at her for a long time, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Do you feel unhappy when others call me brother?"
Feng Nanshu nodded obediently: "A little sad."
"Then do you know why you are sad?"
After Jiang Qin asked this question, he immediately held his breath, waiting for her answer nervously, thinking to himself, I hope she is jealous, otherwise he will be screwed.
After a while, Feng Nanshu pursed her rosy lips and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I don't understand anything."
Jiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that he was fine again: "Actually, many people are like this, there's nothing special about it, there's no need to think about the reasons, and there's no need to take it to heart."
"But the person He Manqi wanted to see was actually you. I was just along for the ride. She was your little fangirl and swore to be someone like you. She even had the same hairstyle as you."
Feng Nanshu could no longer maintain his aloof expression and became silly again: "Jiang Qin, what kind of person am I?"
"A big fool."
"I'm not stupid..."
"You're so stupid and immature, and you're meeting another woman. Are you reading some weird novel again? I told you not to read it."
Jiang Qin fastened her seat belt and drove out of the school gate. The rich lady sitting in the passenger seat became active again, her eyes constantly scanning out the window, taking in the scenery.
Arriving at a more prosperous area in the city, Jiang Qin stopped the car, found a tobacco and alcohol shop nearby, and bought some gifts.
When you visit someone for the first time, it is always appropriate to bring something with you, otherwise it would seem very impolite.
Professor Yan was right. This was the drawback of a society based on favors. We knew that Lao He had an agenda, but we still had to bring gifts. Is there any law for this? Half an hour later, the two arrived at Donghu Mountain Courtyard outside Xicheng.
This is a townhouse area in Linchuan. It is decorated in a very European style. The doorposts even have relief carvings of several characters from Greek mythology.
This kind of patchwork-style architecture is very popular in this era, because the advancement of the Internet has broadened everyone's horizons, but aesthetics have not kept up, resulting in a large number of such mixed-style buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles.
When people mention Europe, they think of aristocrats, so it makes sense for villas to have a European style, right?
Jiang Qin drove in through the gate and found a statue of Belgian Dickinson Crusoe in front of him. He was the peeing boy who extinguished the bomb with his urine and saved the entire city.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and covered the rich woman's eyes with the other.
A bronze statue is just a bronze statue. Why should it be sculpted in such detail? Damn, this is blatant pornography.
Jiang Qin quickly walked around the peeing boy and found Building 506 in the fifth row according to the location.
After ringing the doorbell, He Yijun, who had changed into home clothes, came out to greet me personally.
"Mr. Jiang, please come in quickly. Is this your girlfriend?" He was a little surprised at how beautiful Feng Nanshu was.
Jiang Qin nodded calmly: "Yes, this is my good friend, Feng Nanshu."
"?"
When the two of them walked into the living room, they saw He Manqi who was already waiting at the door. She started calling Jiang Qin brother and Nan Shu sister, and was very enthusiastic.
He Yijun asked his daughter to take Feng Nanshu on a tour, while he took Jiang Qin to sit in the living room.
"Boss Jiang, you guys are going to have a holiday soon, right?"
"Yeah, we'll officially be on holiday after the final exams."
He Yijun poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Where is your home?"
"Jeju." Jiang Qin picked up the teacup and said thank you.
"Jeju is a great place. I went there several times when I was young. It's a place with many outstanding people and historical figures. No wonder it can produce a learning star like you."
Jiang Qin hissed and began to pick at the sole of his shoe with his toes.
When it comes to flattering someone and getting close to them, you actually have to find the right ways and methods.
For example, if I have some literary talent and you praise me as a great writer, then I will definitely be very happy, because I do have it, it’s just exaggerated a little.
But if I'm bald, and you insist on praising my hairstyle for being super cool and awesome, that would be like taking a picture of a horse's hoof, because I don't have one, and I'd feel guilty.
"Mr. He, didn't I come here today to have a free meal? Where's the meal?" Jiang Qin changed the subject.
"It's still on the way and will be delivered later. To be honest, I'm not very good at cooking, so I ordered a table at Juxianlou."
Jiang Qin's mouth twitched: "You can order a family dinner from a restaurant. This is the first time I've seen such a cool operation."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm divorced." He Yijun said calmly.
Logically speaking, the topic should have ended here, and it would have been impolite to ask further questions, but Jiang Qin didn't do that. He patted the sofa frantically and called the rich lady to come out and listen to the story.
However, the rich young lady was dragged to the second floor by He Manqi, and probably could not hear Jiang Qin's affectionate call.
"Boss Jiang, you are a bit rude."
"Mr. He, stop beating around the bush. You can't even cook, but you still asked me to come over for dinner. Why?"
After hearing what he said, He Yijun stopped hiding his thoughts and directly expressed his concerns about the retail industry and his desire for reform.
To put it simply, he wants to change the mall's current sales model to cope with the changes in the development of the times and seek a transformation in the future era of online shopping.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find the direction, so he decided to ask Jiang Qin for help.
Yes, the CEO of a large pure-selling shopping mall used the word "ask for advice" to address an unknown college student.
After Jiang Qin heard this, he immediately thought "fuck" in his heart.
To be honest, as a reborn person, it is very normal for him to be able to see through the future. I have experienced the life I have personally, so how could I not know what it will be like?
But Mr. He, as an insider, was not confused and quickly smelled the danger, which really surprised him.
Why? Because people usually have slow reactions, and they will not feel the pain unless the whip hits them.
The innate sense of crisis among the older generation of businessmen who have struggled through hardship and difficulty should not be underestimated.
"Mr. Jiang, please help me solve this puzzle." He Yijun said with a serious expression.
Jiang Qin showed the same silly look as Feng Nanshu: "Actually, I don't know, Mr. He, I'm just an ordinary college student!"
"You are too modest. I don't like your modesty. There are no outsiders in the house. Be a little more arrogant!"
"In fact, if you think about this problem with the inherent boss's mindset, it is easy to overcomplicate the problem. Why not think about it from the perspective of a consumer? The Internet always has its own limitations and blind spots, just like peeing. Consumers can't pee online, right?"
He Yijun's eyebrows stood up after hearing this: "You mean, I want to turn Wanzhong into a public toilet?"
Jiang Qin put down the teacup in his hand: "What I mean is that if you regard yourself as a consumer and think about what things you must do yourself, that may be a good direction for reform."
"You need to do it yourself..."
He Yijun's scalp suddenly began to feel numb, as if he had grasped something.
"What is the current regional division of Wanzhong?"
"The first floor is for daily necessities and clothing, the second floor is for cosmetics and jewelry, the third floor is for daily electrical appliances, the fourth floor is for furniture, and the fifth floor is for offices."
Jiang Qin looked at He Yijun and said, "These things can all be purchased online in the future. The prices will definitely be lower than yours, and they will give you more gifts. You really have no advantage, and you are about to be finished."
He Yijun suddenly seemed to have grasped something: "Only things that cannot be purchased online can continue to survive in shopping malls?"
"That's right, for example, restaurants, cinemas, and lifestyle services. If you want to hang out with friends, watch a movie, take your kids out, get a massage, get a haircut, or have a manicure, you can't do all that online, right? My suggestion is to cut off a large part of the bulky retail business, re-plan the mall layout, and shift from pure sales to service. You have to give people a reason to come, so that the mall can survive."
“…”
Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang again.
The deliveryman from Juxianlou pushed the delivery cart into the door and started placing dishes on the dining table. Although they were not home-cooked dishes made by hand, the sea cucumbers and abalone showed their sincerity.
He Yijun simply took two bites, and something seemed to be activated in his mind. He did not care about the guest's thoughts and ran to the study after eating half of it.
"Uncle Jiang Qin, do you want to drink? I'll pour you a glass of wine."
"Didn't you call me brother when you came in just now? Why are you suddenly calling me uncle now?"
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the rich young woman sitting next to him.
Feng Nanshu picked up the cup and drank water, looking at him with innocent and lively eyes, as if there were rippling water in her eyes.
"My father said that he and you are equals, and it's rude to call you brother."
"But as far as I know, you never listen to your father, right?" Jiang Qin was a little skeptical.
He Manqi coughed and said, "I'm obedient now. By the way, uncle, can you praise Sister Nanshu for me more?"
Jiang Qin put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "Do you want to listen, or does someone else want to eavesdrop?"
“…”
The rich young woman was picking up peanuts from her chopsticks. When she heard these words, the peanuts fell off her chopsticks.
