Chapter 286 Life in the World
In front of the crowded square, a large number of tourists followed the tour guide waving the national flag. Every corner looked very lively. Among the bustling crowd, many guys with cameras hanging around their necks were screening customers with their sharp eyes.
Their first target is pretty girls, preferably those with boyfriends, as this combination is most likely to spend money.
Then there are those who travel with their parents, who are willing to spend money out of filial piety.
So, when Jiang Qin appeared here holding Feng Nanshu's hand, countless pairs of eyes began to converge on them, with a very cunning smile on their faces.
Jiang Qin was very familiar with this smile because he saw it every night when he looked in the mirror.
Damn it, someone is trying to cheat me out of my money! The rich girl just finished taking a family photo some time ago and is still not satisfied. If she sees this and hears that the photos can be developed immediately after taking them, she will definitely throw her wallet to the person.
Jiang Qin reached out and pulled Feng Nanshu, who was trying to move forward, away, and ran into the city gate tower with a bang.
Today's rich lady wore a floral dress that exuded a fairy-like air and a pair of square black sunglasses on her face. She looked cool and elegant. People who didn't know her would definitely think she was a cold, rich and beautiful girl, but in fact, she was just a silly little cutie.
After a while, everyone from class 208 arrived at the ticket window of the Forbidden City.
Looking towards them, they saw a vermilion plaque hanging on the tall vermilion city gate tower, with the two big characters "Wumen" written neatly on it. Seeing it made their necks feel cold, and even swallowing became extremely difficult.
"Is this the place where people chopped off heads in ancient times?" Lu Feiyu remembered the sentence of being beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.
Dong Wenhao shook his head after hearing this: "Only high-ranking officials can lose their heads in this place. Ordinary people don't have this qualification. Caishikou is the place where most heads are lost."
“The ancients were really hardworking.”
"Yes, if you don't work hard, you will be treated differently when you die."
Jiang Qin couldn't help but take a deep breath after listening to it: "Good employees are really good at self-PUA. Say more, I love to hear it."
Sunai narrowed his eyes and glanced at the boys: "Can you talk about something auspicious?"
"Then let's stop chatting for now. The Forbidden City closes at five o'clock. If you guys chat for a while longer, we might not be able to get out."
"Then let's go quickly. I have to go see what the dragon throne looks like."
A group of fifteen people bought tickets to enter the palace, checked their tickets and went through the gate. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they were instantly stunned by the magnificent palace in front of them.
It turns out that the emperor lived in a place like this. Wow, how much money of the people must have been spent on it. But I heard that the last emperor Puyi was also quite miserable. Later, he had to buy a ticket to go back home.
Everyone sighed as they walked through the palace with its soaring eaves and took crazy photos of the quaint buildings.
In fact, if you visit a museum like this without a tour guide, it will just be a pure excitement. But if you hire a tour guide, they don't have enough time, so the only thing left is to take pictures.
Lu Xuemei’s favorite scenery to photograph is the cool and aloof proprietress, because it looks good from any angle, and it even makes her inexplicably confident in her photography skills.
Of course, they were not the only ones taking photos crazily in the Forbidden City. Especially in the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square, one could see three couples taking wedding photos. Their trailing gauze skirts looked white and charming under the sunlight.
"Madam boss, look over there, someone is taking wedding photos, wow, so beautiful!"
Feng Nanshu wore big black sunglasses and looked over with a cool and cold expression: "Xuemei, that's a family photo."
"Eh? Aren't these wedding photos?" Lu Xuemei felt a little unconfident because of the boss lady's confidence.
"That's a family photo, really, I've taken the same one."
"?"
Feng Nanshu took out his cell phone and planned to show her the electronic version of the family portrait, but was abducted by Jiang Qin who appeared from behind.
Lu Xuemei was a little confused: "No, that must be a wedding photo, this is obviously common sense."
Dong Wenhao couldn't help but cough: "Xuemei, I guess you definitely haven't seen the QQ space of the boss and the boss's wife."
"What space?"
Dong Wenhao took out his mobile phone, opened the menu, function, 3gQQ, and entered the space.
Lu Xuemei glanced down and found a post in the boss’s Moments that was posted a few days ago. The text was two smiling emojis, and below it was a photo of him and the boss’s wife.
In the picture, the boss is dressed in a suit and the boss's wife is graceful and elegant. They are looking straight ahead with twinkling eyes and happy expressions. The picture is breathtakingly beautiful.
However, in stark contrast to this beautiful picture, the boss’ insults in the comment section were quite ugly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuemei was slightly stunned. She thought to herself that the boss's name turned out to be Jiang Qin. She had always thought it was Jiang Qin! "Did you see it? This is the family portrait the boss mentioned. What do you think?"
"This looks like a wedding photo anyway..."
Dong Wenhao nodded very seriously: "So you understand why the boss lady said that just now?"
Lu Xuemei was stunned for a moment: "Oh, no wonder the boss lady said that was a family photo, it turns out the boss lied to her again?"
"I don't think so. There must be something fishy going on here. It's hard to tell who is deceiving whom."
As they were talking, the newlyweds who were taking wedding photos left one after another. Jiang Qin wiped the sweat off his face and waved for everyone to gather together, planning to take a group photo to put in the brochure later.
In the scorching summer, just standing there made one feel sticky, not to mention there was no shelter in the square, so everyone immediately gathered together and randomly grabbed a warm-hearted passerby to act as a photographer.
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, as the boss and boss lady, were of course gathered in the middle, while the others stood apart according to their seniority.
"When I shout 123 later, remember to shout 'cheese'!" a passerby instructed enthusiastically.
Jiang Qin smacked his lips and said, "Stop shouting 'eggplant'. Eggplant doesn't sound nice, and purple is unlucky. Let's shout 'get rich'. Everyone shout 'get rich'."
"Boss, you really have greed ingrained in your bones."
"No, I have greed engraved in my bones."
When the shutter sounded and everyone shouted "Get rich", the scene was instantly frozen at 4:13 pm on July 15, 2009.
This was the first group photo of the 208 core members. At that time, they did not know that this photo would become one of the most classic pictures in the field of self-made entrepreneurship, nor did they know that this photo would be used by countless media newspapers in the future.
At around six o'clock, a group of people came out of the Palace Museum in a mighty procession and arrived outside the Shenwu Gate.
To be honest, this trip was really tiring and everyone's forehead was covered with sweat.
Jiang Qin asked Lu Feiyu and the others to buy some popsicles from a roadside cart. Then he ate the popsicles and leaned on the bridge pier of the moat, looking at the sunset in the distance. The red glow and the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City complemented each other, which was very beautiful.
“I thought my college life would be ordinary like everyone else’s, but I didn’t expect it to be so wonderful.”
"Yeah, if I hadn't joined 208, I would be bored to death at home now. I wouldn't even know who to go out with if I wanted to play. But who would have thought that I would be in the capital in the blink of an eye."
"I posted on my social media yesterday that we were going on a sponsored trip, and everyone in my dorm was so jealous."
“I feel like my junior year was more fulfilling than my freshman and sophomore years combined.”
“The sunset in the capital is…so beautiful.”
"The boss is a bit of a dog, but he's actually a nice person."
"I think that even if I graduate from college and have to leave 208, I will always miss this busy year and everyone who has struggled with me."
"Luffy, why did you pee?"
"No, I...I was just blinded by the smog."
“…”
Jiang Qin supported himself on the bridge pier with both hands, jumped up, then sat on the stone railing and looked out at the gradually darkening sky, the departing passengers, and the older ladies selling popsicles on the streets. His eyes suddenly became extremely deep.
At that time, the evening breeze blew melodiously across the glazed tiles, floating the loose hair on his forehead, and seemed to blow through his forty-year-old worn-out soul.
In fact, most of the time, we live for a sense of existence.
You hope that someone will remember you, hope that your journey into this world is not in vain, and hope to leave some stories for future generations to tell.
Instead of hoping to live like a transparent person, burning yourself but not being able to illuminate your life.
He felt that he had done quite well so far and his overall score should be around 70 points.
Jiang Qin held the popsicle stick in his mouth, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Boss, where are we going later?"
"Let's go to Wangfujing, do some shopping, and then have dinner together."
Jiang Qin jumped down from the stone railing and took everyone on the bus to Wangfujing. After getting off the bus, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, take whatever you like. Don't worry about the price. Just don't get caught."
There was a sudden "tsk" sound among the team, but they still went into various shopping malls and stores along the way.
To be honest, as the core members of 208, no matter they are executives like Suna or busybodies like Luffy, they are all well-off and will never hesitate to spend money on buying things.
So before long, they had a lot of shopping bags in their hands, and the main goal was to return home with a full load.
"Boss, where are we going tomorrow?"
"Let's go to the Great Wall. Isn't there an old saying that goes, 'You're not a true man if you haven't been to the Great Wall.'"
Dong Wenhao thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go to the Great Wall early in the morning, play there until the afternoon, and then go to the Olympic Park when we come back."
Jiang Qin nodded: "Ok, then it's decided. Get up early tomorrow morning and take the long-distance bus. No one is allowed to fall behind!"
I'm getting married soon, time is very tight...
