Qin Guan hit Zhou Jing and Hu Lu's hands away and answered, "No, it's just a part-time job. I'm working for a modeling agency. I'm a C-level model who has just entered the industry. My teacher said that if I can win a small award in China, I can be promoted to a B-level model. That way, my salary will be higher, and a B-level model will be a higher level.
"You know what I'm doing. I'm going to participate in competitions to make myself look better."
Zhou Jing and Li Jian nodded in understanding. Then they put their arms around Qin Guan's shoulders and said, "It's only the beginning of July. We still have a month and a half to go to the middle of August. Let's make a good plan to make money."
Qin Guan was depressed. He struggled under their pincer attack. "I want to date Cong Nianwei. I haven't seen a movie or gone shopping with her yet! No way! "
They rolled on the floor. Li Jian sat down on Qin Guan and said breathlessly, "You can find a business where you can date and play. You are the top money-grubber in Y city. I believe you."
Qin Guan was out of breath under the fat man's weight. He pounded on the floor and shouted, "Get up, Li Jian! I'll cut off all ties with you! "
"I won't! I won't get up if you don't think of a way! "
Qin Guan's eyes were about to roll back. Due to the lack of oxygen in his brain, Qin Guan's mind was working at a high speed. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Ahem! I've got an idea! Move your butt away! "
Zhou Jing rushed forward and pulled Li Jian up. He was lying on the ground miserably like a squashed noodle.
They asked eagerly, "What business? Quick, tell everyone about it. "
Qin Guan got up from the floor and lay on the sofa. He said weakly, "Let's set up a stall on the beach."
Zhou Jing and Li Jian felt strange. "Mutton skewers? That place is full of stalls at night, and they've all been booked. Several big restaurants are fighting over a piece of beach. How can we compete with them? "
Qin Guan shook his head. "Let's not make skewers. We'll be busy all day. Let's get a counter at the First Bathing Beach."
"Zhou Jing, go to the canteen of the Bureau of Veteran Cadres and get a glass counter. Also, find your second aunt. Isn't she engaged in wholesale clothing in the Sanzhan market? Go ask her about this year's swimsuit market. "
"Li Jian, go to the Changsheng Cold Beverage Factory and order some popsicles and sodas. That's the plan for now. If there's anything we haven't thought of, we'll meet up and discuss it. Oh, right, Zhou Jing, when you go to the third station, see if there are any places selling swimming rings. When everything is ready, we'll meet up at my house tomorrow."
Li Jian and Zhou Jing left in a hubbub. They went back to work in high spirits.
In 1999, Y City was not rated as the most livable city, and the tourism industry there was not developed.
The sky was a clean blue, and the sea was a clear green. The two small bathing beaches were enough for the people of Y City to enjoy a leisurely seaside holiday in their spare time.
Qin Guan rode his shabby bicycle through two alleys opposite his house and arrived at the beach, which was still sleeping lazily.
The summer sun was shining on the beach, making it feel warm. The sea breeze was blowing, carrying a slightly fishy smell. A small flock of white-feathered, black-winged seagulls were curled up together, their eyes half-closed. They had not yet woken up from their deep sleep.
A small crab was running across the white and yellowish beach. Qin Guan felt playful at the beautiful scenery. He pedaled hard on the road and rushed his bicycle into the beach.
The bicycle sank into the sand immediately. Qin Guan threw it away and lay on the beach. The seagulls, awakened by the noise, spread their wings and flew up into the sky.
One or two of the leaders, who were responsible for the early warning, flew back to check the situation on the beach.
There was a strange human lying on the soft beach with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. The sun was shining on him, making him feel very comfortable.
Qin Guan lay there until the sun was high up in the sky and the beach was slightly hot. Then he got up.
He shook off the floating sand on his body, took off his shoes and walked barefoot to the reception of the First Bathing Beach.
The reception in 1999 was very simple. There was only a small window for selling bathing tickets and a simple, rectangular bathing area. There were bathrooms for men and women on the left and right of the window.
Everyone who had finished swimming at the beach had experienced the feeling of being soaked in seawater. There was a small amount of sand on their hair and clothes. It would be really uncomfortable to walk back home or to a hotel in a wet swimsuit.
The simple bathrooms in the First Seawater Bathing Beach provided hot water for the swimmers. It only cost 3 yuan per person to have a nice hot water bath. Although there was only a big iron pipe sprinkler inside, it was still very practical for people who finished swimming as an emergency bath.
That was why the ticket counter was the busiest place on the beach. Qin Guan was there to talk to the ticket seller.
It was not a weekend, so the ticket seller was very relaxed in the morning. Sister Liu was willing to chat with a handsome young man. When she understood Qin Guan's purpose, she agreed without hesitation.
The bathroom was a private project provided by her husband, who was affiliated with the municipal government.
A part of the income would be handed over to the government. The rent was 100 yuan per month, which was free. It didn't take up space in the ticket office. It was just an open-air counter beside her bathroom. That was not a problem at all.
When Qin Guan walked out of the ticket counter, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Zhou Jing. He thought for a while and called him. Zhou Jing sounded a little annoyed. "Qin Guan, your call came at the right time. There are so many styles of swimsuits here. I don't know what to do. Would you like to come here?"
Qin Guan was speechless. He told Zhou Jing, "Give me your booth number. I'll take a taxi there."
"Hengsan. The number is 1133. Hurry up!" Zhou Jing hung up.
The Sanzhan Wholesale Market of Y City was located in the downtown area of Y City. It was only 15 kilometers away from the airport, facing the North Street Bus Station and the Harbor Bus Station in the north and the long-distance bus station in the south.
The Sanzhan Wholesale Market was a famous distribution center of Y City, mainly selling computers, household appliances, leather shoes and cosmetics.
The wholesalers had worked hard to establish many famous brands, such as Zouma casual wear, Di Ri T-shirts, Sister Han ethnic clothing, Wencheng Princess leather shoes and so on.
