Full of confidence
Tang Zhendong was almost speechless when asked by Zhao Lili, he is not a person who is good at explaining himself, but fortunately, Zhao Lili also saw Tang Zhendong's embarrassment, so she didn't continue to ask further.
This meal was eaten by Tang Zhendong with a heart-wrenching vocabulary, how to deal with Zhao Lili.
"Zhen Dong Ge, your car is lost, won't you sell fruits anymore?"
"It's sold out, it's heaven's will and we mortals can't go against it."
"Zhen Dong Ge, if you can't find a job, I'll ask our boss and you can come work with us. However, it's in the workshop, which might be a bit of a demotion for you."
Zhao Lili works as an accountant in a grinding tool factory. The cashier is the boss's wife, and the cash of small businesses generally does not pass through outsiders' hands.
Zhao Lili spends the whole day working with her boss's wife, so she is very familiar with the company's lack of personnel. However, for a small business like this, lacking people just means lacking hands to do the work, and it doesn't need any management staff, just someone to get the job done. Although Zhao Lili knows that Tang Zhendong is not picky, she is also afraid to let him go to the workshop to work, fearing that he will think she looks down on him.
"No, never mind, I'm now doing some small business with someone."
"What business?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just fortune-telling and feng shui," Tang Zhendong had made up his mind to do this job, and on the way back earlier, he also figured it out, what was the point of hiding it from Zhao Lili, anyway, he himself was genuinely talented, "By the way, Lili, does your boss believe in this?"
Zhao Lili shook her head, "I don't know how to say it, I'm not very familiar with it, but there is indeed a statue of the God of Wealth in his office."
"Oh, that's it." Tang Zhen thought of Old Ye and let him go to fool around with Zhao Lili's boss. He himself would show off his skills on the side, and he was sure he could win over this kind of person who was half-believing and half-doubting about gods and Buddhas. These were all potential customers. If business was good, then they couldn't bother with these potential customers. But if Tang Zhen and Old Ye had nothing to do, they would go to Lili's company for a visit, and he was sure he could win over her boss.
"Zhen Dong Ge, if you're short of money for business, just let me know. I still have some savings here." Zhao Lili seemed a bit embarrassed, a girl willing to lend money to a man, indicating that she no longer regarded him as an outsider.
Tang Zhendong burst out laughing, "No need, this business of mine is a typical zero-investment business, pure technical work, no start-up capital is needed."
The next morning, Tang Zhendong still got up early to meditate and practice boxing. Now that he didn't need to go wholesale fruit, he had more time to practice boxing. Tang Zhendong spent at least four or five hours a day practicing boxing, basically recovering the amount of time he practiced in prison.
Inside, although Tang Zhendong has nothing to do all day, he is practicing with his master Xu Zhuo and deducing fate. However, Xu Zhuo's focus is on teaching Tang Zhendong to deduce fate, and practicing skills is a byproduct. Tang Zhendong spends almost all of his time on these two things, except for the six hours he sleeps.
Xingyiquan has twelve forms, and Tang Zhen Dong is more skilled with each passing day, the more he fights, the more he can feel the profoundness of the twelve forms.
Tang Zhen Dong was a child who grew up in the countryside, he had a deep feeling for the horse shape and chicken shape, snake shape, swallow shape of the twelve shapes. Because Li Yuan Shan once said, "Xingyiquan is to take its shape, use its intent, emphasizing taking intent."
The horse shape is taken from the galloping horse, with a kicking leg. When running, the horse's four hooves are off the ground, as if treading on auspicious clouds, and when the horse kicks people, that sudden kick is like a divine stroke of the brush, its speed and power leaving one helpless to resist.
The chicken shape emphasizes the independent single leg of the chicken, and there are many golden rooster independent movements in boxing. The snake shape can be bent and stretched, and the swallow shape takes its lightness and agility.
Tang Zhendong was deeply moved by the four shapes, turning them over and practicing until the sun was high in the sky. Suddenly his old Nokia rang, "Old Ye, I'll be there soon, don't rush."
"It's not that I'm rushing you, it's just that something big has come up." Old Ye spoke with some shortness of breath.
"What's the matter, slow down and talk, look at you being so anxious and flustered, at your age." Tang Zhendong and Old Ye were used to joking around with each other, neither of them minded the other's age, they treated each other as equals.
"I said to Little Tang, didn't you say yesterday that Wu Kun's shop was on fire and business was booming? His shop really caught fire last night, burned to ashes, luckily the owner of the next door shop lived inside and discovered the fire early, called the fire truck, so the fire didn't spread to the surrounding shops. But Wu Kun's shop is in a terrible state, completely blackened."
Lao Ye told Wu Kun about the situation at the flower shop in one breath.
Tang Zhendong listened and still didn't understand Old Ye's meaning, "What's wrong? The fire is burning well, I said that a good fire will definitely make the business prosperous. Old Ye, what do you want to say?"
"I'm saying let's not exaggerate, yesterday Wu Kun asked me if we really need to set the store on fire to make it prosperous, I told him that setting fires can indeed make the store prosperous, but this method is extremely extreme, the law is fierce, the variables are large, and the backlash is also great, I advised him to be cautious."
Tang Zhendong listened for half a day, but Old Ye still hadn't directly expressed his thoughts. "I'm telling you, Old Ye, if you have something to say, just say it straight out. I'll be arriving at the train station soon. If you can finish what you want to say in one or two sentences, then go ahead and say it. But if it's going to take too long, don't waste phone fees, I'll be there soon."
"I'm saying, a big fire really happened now, so if Wu Kun's store doesn't prosper, what can we do?"
After going around in circles for half a day, Tang Zhendong finally understood that Old Ye was thinking about how to explain things to Wu Kunyuan if the business didn't take off. Tang Zhendong had carefully observed yesterday that the fire would definitely bring prosperity to the shop, and he had never thought of making excuses. When Old Ye told Tang Zhendong about it, Tang Zhendong even sighed that Wu Kun's luck was really good, originally thinking that he would miss this opportunity for a prosperous business, because at the time Wu Kun clearly didn't believe Tang Zhendong's words about the fire bringing prosperity to the shop.
However, Wu Kun unexpectedly grasped the situation, and it really proved that old saying: "With intention, flowers don't bloom; without intention, willows grow into shade."
"You won't be disappointed, you have to have faith in me."
Lao Ye had something to say but didn't speak out, just thinking in his heart that there was a farting confidence. The fire started, this is not a joke, especially after the Feng Shui master pointed it out, although they didn't set it off, but also not completely without responsibility.
Lao Ye was fortunate that Wu Kun was generous and gave him the money yesterday, otherwise this trip would have been for nothing.
Tang Zhendong didn't waste any time and rushed straight to the train station.
"Xiao Tang, you're here. Wu Kun, the boss, said he's sending a car to pick us up. The car will arrive soon. Are we going or not?"
"Go, why not go. This is a milestone in our Feng Shui industry in the coastal city, it will make us famous overnight, just you wait and see." Tang Zhendong was full of confidence.
