On the afternoon of the 20th, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke arrived at Gaofen East Railway Station and took the train back to Xiushan.
After the casual date, they went to the wildlife park yesterday and observed the "tiger form", "monkey form", and other postures up close. They watched a few panda cubs basking in the sun and left a lot of photos that carried beautiful memories. This morning, they didn't go anywhere. After returning from their morning exercise, they stayed in their room. Sometimes, they kissed each other, and sometimes, they leaned against each other to watch shows on their tablets.
At this time, the Brutale delegation's trip entered its third day. Oblak was invited to participate in the Gaofen martial arts activities, but he was disappointed because he didn't find the superpower user who defeated him.
The train sped through the mountains and across the fields. Lou Cheng was sharing a funny post with Yan Zheke when he received a call from Wu Ting, a high school freshman with a ponytail, from the VIP class during the summer vacation.
"Hello?" Lou Cheng answered the call in confusion.
"Sir Lou, when are you coming back to Xiushan?" Wu Ting asked in a light tone.
"What's up? I don't think I'll work part-time in the martial arts club during the winter vacation. "Lou Cheng thought the girl wanted to continue her martial arts training.
It was not that he didn't want to earn money by the way. After school started, he had no income except for the living expenses provided by his family. Although he had fewer dates due to the tight schedule, his expenses in other aspects had increased. For example, Queen of Thought and the others had worked out a prescription for the internal practice of the Swordsman Formula after a period of study and mastery. Geezer Shi had passed it to him. There were many similar things. After deducting the fixed amount provided by the Ice God Sect every month, the rest was still very valuable. In just a few months, Lou Cheng had spent nearly 80,000 yuan.
— — The strength of a weak Sixth Pin was not something that could be obtained easily!
Plus the expenses of dates, gifts, and hotels, Lou Cheng's savings had dropped below 200,000 yuan. Since he couldn't find a source of income, it was inevitable that he would want to work part-time to teach students. However, the martial arts club would be closed during the Chinese New Year. There was no such thing as a winter vacation class.
Hearing Lou Cheng's answer, Wu Ting didn't feel disappointed. Instead, she said happily, "Can't I find you for no reason?"
"Yes," Lou Cheng said half-jokingly.
"…" Wu Ting was speechless for a moment. After a dozen seconds of silence, she smiled bitterly. "I just realized that Sir Lou has a sharp tongue! It's not me who wants to find you. It's my dad who wants to find you. "
"Why is your dad looking for me?" Lou Cheng was even more confused.
Wu Ting giggled and said, "My father owns a martial arts supplies company. He wants to invite you to endorse their shoes, so that they can expand beyond Xing Province and into the whole country!"
"Endorsement?" Lou Cheng was shocked.
How could he get an endorsement at his level?
Wasn't it said that only Mighty Ones with physical invulnerability were qualified to have a share of this cake?
Yan Zheke was attracted by their conversation. She turned her head and blinked her eyes in confusion.
"My dad said that Sir Lou, you have a bright future ahead of you. Yes, it's measured, not bright. You will definitely reach the peak of martial arts in the future," Wu Ting explained excitedly.
Our Sir Lou is amazing!
Lou Cheng replied conscientiously, "That's a matter for the future. No one dares to guarantee anything. If your father asks me to endorse him now, he will most likely suffer a loss …"
"No, no, Sir Lou, you have a lot of attention now. We all watched the battle between you and Peng Leyun! My dad said that as a Heavenly Son of the era and a native of Xing Province, you can definitely help him open up more markets in the province, and even open up channels outside the province. " Wu Ting repeated, "Anyway, you don't need to do anything. You don't need to shoot commercials. You just need to wear the martial arts shoes that we specially made for you every time in the Challenge Tournament."
"Then it broke into pieces …" Lou Cheng said with cold humor.
Wu Ting was speechless again. After hearing what the people around her said, she giggled and said, "What are you afraid of? Which martial arts shoes are not like this? As long as our design is cool enough, as long as you wear it well enough, as long as it can last a few rounds, there will be plenty of fashionistas like us who will buy it. "
She made fun of herself without any hesitation.
"This is too sudden. I'm a little confused. I'll think about it and give you a reply." Lou Cheng did not agree impulsively.
Wu Ting smiled and said, "What my dad means is that after you return to Xiushan, you can come to the company and talk to him face to face. If you agree, he will directly test the data and make the most suitable martial arts shoes for you."
"Okay, I'll be back in Xiushan in the afternoon. When will your dad be in the company these days?" Lou Cheng decided to listen to the specific terms.
"Well, my dad will be on a business trip tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He's in the company today. How about you go to see him before 6 pm?" Wu Ting asked tentatively.
"Okay, send me the address. I'll let you know when I go out." Lou Cheng said after thinking about it.
Wu Ting smiled and said, "Yes, Sir Lou!"
After hanging up the phone, Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke who was beside him. He didn't need to repeat himself. The girl already knew what was going on. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You already have an endorsement contract!"
My Cheng is so awesome!
"I don't know the specific conditions, but I guess the price won't be too high." Lou Cheng was happy, but he still kept his mind.
With his current strength and level, it was true that he could not get a good price.
But for him, who had an unstable income every year, it was a good supplement.
Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and said with concern.
"Even if it's a good deal, don't rush to sign the contract. Take it back and let the lawyer have a look first, in case there's a trap. Well, not many people dare to cheat you, but some people are rascals. They're just a pile of sh * t. Even if they can't cheat you, they can still disgust you."
"Yes, Coach Yan!" Lou Cheng answered happily.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled. She suddenly sighed and said, "I can't buy you martial arts shoes in the future."
"No, I'll only wear them in the competition. For training, the 'love brand' is still the best! I've only worn the first pair of martial arts shoes you gave me a few times. It's still brand new. "Lou Cheng took the opportunity to show off.
Yan Zheke smiled and looked out of the window slightly proudly.
It took only a little more than an hour to go from Gaofen to Xiushan by train. They soon saw the familiar scenery. The girl also received a call from Empress Dowager.
They deliberately chose this train to arrive at the same time as the arrival time of one of the high-speed trains from Songcheng to Xiushan.
"Okay, we'll be there soon." Yan Zheke hung up the phone and watched Lou Cheng unload the luggage. Her eyes became gentle and she reached out to help him tidy up his clothes.
After returning to Xiushan, they would be busy with the New Year. Except for morning exercises, they would have less time to see each other …
After getting off the train, they reluctantly parted at the arrival hall.
Lou Cheng carried the luggage and went out of the station. He replied to the girl's message and then called his mother.
"Mom, I'm here."
Qi Fang's background was very noisy. She said in a loud voice, "Your dad and I are in the renovation business. We don't have time to buy groceries. You can go to the market by yourself and buy whatever you want. I'll cook for you when I come back. Alas, the New Year is coming and the renovation workers are all thinking about home. You have to keep an eye on them and try to get the water and electricity ready before the New Year."
My dear mother! I've just come back and I'm already being ordered around! Lou Cheng laughed and shook his head, agreeing.
After a long time of careful selection, Qi Fang finally chose a house of 130 square meters. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. It also came with a free entrance and a balcony. The total cost was more than 550,000 yuan after taxes and fees. Because it was the full payment, except for the 400,000 yuan Lou Cheng gave, the family was basically emptied. After two months, they finally had enough money to do the water and electricity.
Qi Fang, who had been bullied by borrowing money, didn't want to try again if it wasn't necessary.
Lou Cheng got on the bus and staggered back to the neighborhood. Along the way, the uncles and aunties he met all greeted him warmly, saying things like, "Oh, Cheng has made a name for himself." They praised him for remembering his parents' kindness and forking out money to buy a house for his family.
Looking at the envious and sighing neighbors, Lou Cheng only had one thought in his mind. That was, how long has my mom been bragging about her son buying a house? How widely has she spread the news?
When he approached the doorway, he met another acquaintance, Wang Xu's father.
"Hello, Uncle Wang." Lou Cheng greeted him politely.
Wang Xu's father's body was a little hunched, and his hair was very white. He looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. He looked at Lou Cheng and laughed. "Cheng, you're on vacation? You've done well. Your parents are enjoying life. "
"Uncle Wang, don't say that. It's good enough to believe half of my mom's words." Lou Cheng scolded his mother.
"It's good enough to believe half of it." Wang Xu's father sighed with emotion. He walked out of the unit and turned to the group of old men playing chess.
Looking back, Lou Cheng watched his father's back disappear into the distance. He sighed with mixed feelings in his heart.
When people take the wrong path, they're not the only ones who get hurt.
Now that the limelight is completely over, I'll ask Uncle Xing to introduce me to visit Wang Xu in prison …
After calming himself down, he returned home, put down his backpack, picked up the basket, and went to the market.
The last time he went there alone was when he was in the fifth grade of primary school. He didn't go there to buy groceries, but to find his mother.
"I'm a little nervous thinking about going to buy groceries by myself." Lou Cheng sent a message to Yan Zheke with a smile.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji with half of her mouth covered and whispered,
"I haven't been to the market before …"
"Then I'm better than you." Lou Cheng sent an emoji with arms akimbo.
"Humph, do you know how to bargain?" Yan Zheke asked angrily.
"Nope."
"Do you know how to distinguish the quality of the meat?"
"You should be able to tell a little."
"Can you tell if the food is watered?"
"Nope …"
"Can you pick out the good quality of the food?"
"Nope …"
Lou Cheng felt very guilty. He found that the identity of "Youth Tournament Champion" was completely useless in the market.
"Can you tell if it's wild or domesticated?" Yan Zheke asked persistently.
Lou Cheng replied with a text emoji, annoyed and amused at the same time.
"Classmate, you've killed the conversation!"
"Hahahaha." Yan Zheke sent an emoji of laughing. "Hurry up and buy groceries. I'm waiting for your battle report!"
After entering the market, Lou Cheng walked nimbly around the stains and randomly chose a pork stall. He asked the fierce-looking stall owner, "How much is this pork rib?"
Well, I want to eat winter melon and pork rib soup tonight!
After a fruitless bargaining, he looked at the stall owner who was chopping the pork rib and asked, "Can I pay with my mobile phone?"
"Yes, scan my QR code." The stall owner pointed at something on the side.
It's so convenient to pay with mobile phone. I don't have to bring cash or change … Lou Cheng scanned the QR code. When the phone recognized the QR code, he suddenly found that the stall owner's name was,
"Past Events in Dreams With the Wind."
So artistic. He looked up at the fierce-looking stall owner in astonishment. Looking at the shiny oil on his hand, he couldn't believe that such an artistic name belonged to him …
"Okay." Lou Cheng paid the bill mechanically.
The stall owner packed the pork rib and wiped his hands. He took a look at his phone and said,
"Yes, received."
It's really him … Lou Cheng's mouth twitched. He put the pork rib into the basket and went to another stall.
After that, he met the fishmonger named "Love You Forever" and the vegetable seller named "Abandoned Master". He refreshed his world view and shared these things with Yan Zheke as jokes.
At 3: 30 p.m., he went out again after buying groceries and called a taxi according to the address given by Wu Ting.
