I Don’t Want To Be Popular

Chen Chuan had the keys to the car dealership and called the manager Zhang Jingyin to ask her to come.

Arrived at the car dealership.

A group of people walked in.

A cousin asked quietly: "Fourth brother, how rich are you?"

Chen Shan smiled and said, "I don't know how rich he is, but this car dealership belongs to his industry. It sells imported parallel cars. They are all luxury cars. The net profit is almost 100 million a year."

Entering the car dealership, a group of cousins ​​were surprised to see the huge exhibition hall and dozens of Transformers models more than ten meters high in the hall!

"So shocking! So domineering!"

"Damn, there are so many sports cars! McLarens and Ferraris lined up!"

"And Aston Martin db11 dbs!"

"What kind of Apollo is that one at the door? There are only 10 units in the world, and each one has a small goal?"

Everyone was amazed.

Chen Chuan felt:

"Shock value +1"

"Shock value +1"

"Shock value +1"

"Shock value +1"

Don’t forget, this car dealership can be given the attribute of absorbing “shock value” by the system!

When guests who come in are shocked, shock value will be charged.

Every time the shock value reaches 10,000 points, you can exchange it for a random [Shock Skill].

Chen Chuan had previously reached 10,000 points and exchanged for a "Silent Boss" temperament. In one-on-one situations, if he remained silent, the other party would feel the temperament of Chen Chuan's boss. However, this thing seems useless. Chen Chuan has not used it a few times, or in other words, he has not found the correct way to use it.

When you are one-on-one with a girl, do you have to remain silent to trigger this bossy temperament and make her kneel down?

"Chen Shan, you have chosen which one you like. Choose whatever you want." Chen Chuan said.

As a man,

In a car dealership full of brand-new luxury cars, hearing this sentence undoubtedly made the adrenal glands soar to the top.

"Half a year ago, Ling Jiao's family laughed at me because I couldn't drive a good car and wouldn't let me be with Ling Jiao. Now..." Chen Shan murmured to himself.

A cousin said: "Now, you hug Chen Chuan's lap and make them unable to reach up! Choose an expensive one to shock them. I recommend you choose that Bentley Bentayga!"

"Cough cough cough! Shut up!" Chen Shan coughed violently.

The damn Bentayga cost more than 4 million. He was out of his mind to choose such an expensive car.

Even if Chen Chuan was generous and was rewarded, he would not dare to take it.

He knew this very well.

Although he coveted luxury cars, he could not be greedy, so he said: "Thanks to my cousin Chen Chuan for giving me this opportunity to choose, but I really haven't made better profits for my brother. I admit that I want a better car." Since my brother wants to reward me, I will choose a Wrangler. The implication is that I hope I can work hard, herd the horses that my brother has given me, be a qualified Wrangler, and contribute to my brother’s career.”

"Huh? The boss has been in charge of the project for a few months, and he seems to be able to speak nice words?" Several cousins ​​said with a smile, not sure whether it was envy or jealousy.

After all, the Wrangler is a hard-core SUV owned by Jeep, and it costs 500,000 to launch.

"Are you sure you only want a Wrangler?" Chen Chuan was also quite surprised, because this car is really cheap, and with its rough appearance, there aren't many seen on the road. There are even more in Haiqin City. In some fourth- and fifth-tier small cities, there are no more than 50 vehicles.

"It's true that off-road vehicles are suitable for driving on construction sites, but you don't want this Mercedes-Benz G?" Chen Chuan asked, patting a black G.

Chen Shan shook his head decisively: "I want the Wrangler. In fact... the Wrangler is too expensive. I can't repay my brother's friendship. Wow."

"Don't you always listen to your wife? You'd better call Ling Jiao and ask Ling Jiao to avoid her scolding you if you make a bad choice." Chen Chuan said.

"I can decide this matter..." Chen Shan said.

Chen Chuan looked at his cousin and saw that he had made up his mind, so he said no more.

Just then Zhang Jingyin arrived.

"Boss, I'm here!" Zhang Jingyin said respectfully.

"Find a Wrangler with the highest configuration." Chen Chuan said.

"Okay, I've got Xiaoli and Master Liu and they'll be here soon," Zhang Jingyin said.

202 four-door Jungle Hero Limited Edition.

The bare car price of the top-end model is 560,000 yuan, with a landing price of 623,850 yuan.

The body color is jungle green, which looks domineering and beautiful.

In fact, you can buy a Land Cruiser at this price, and the three major features are much better than the Wrangler.

But Chen Shan also said that he was optimistic about the meaning of the word "Wrangler" and insisted on this.

Several cousins ​​congratulated together: "The boss also owns a 600,000 luxury car. Congratulations, keep working hard! Don't live up to Chen Chuan's gift!"

"Luxury car? Oh no! Anything under 2 million cannot be called a luxury car!" In the corner, an unknown cousin muttered something in a low voice, giving off a strong sour smell.

In line with the principle of fairness, even if Chen Shanche was given to him, he could not treat his younger cousin Chen Ziyue badly. Both of them worked in the manor.

"Which shopping mall do you go to most on weekdays?" Chen Chuan asked his cousin.

"Shopping mall... Vientiane City... what's wrong, brother?"

"Vientiane City." Chen Chuan opened his bag, took out a pile of cards, found one from Vientiane City, and handed it to Chen Ziyue.

"This is... a black gold membership card! You need to recharge 300,000 yuan to apply for it. There won't be any money in it, right?" Chen Ziyue said in surprise.

"You will know after you try it." Chen Chuan smiled, "This is your year-end bonus, so work hard. Don't just do logistics, learn more skills at the construction site."

"I love you so much, brother!" Chen Ziyue rushed forward and gave Chen Chuan a big bear hug.

…

When coming out of the car dealership.

Chen Shan has already driven the impressive Wrangler, and the jungle green color looks very eye-catching.

Seeing Chen Shan so excited, Chen Chuan was a little embarrassed. After all, this car was so cheap. It was simply the cheapest car he had given away. You know, even the McLaren girl he met by chance in Shanghai was I bought a Tesla worth 800,000 yuan.

But my cousin asked for this by name, so there was nothing he could do, as long as he was happy.

Qin Xiang acted coquettishly and made a request, which surprised Chen Chuan. The request was...to celebrate the New Year at her house tonight.

This had never happened before, he had always done it at his own home.

"Please, please, please..." Qin Xiang pulled her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, then I'll go home to worship my ancestors first. When I'm done, I'll have a meal of dumplings at home and then go to your place." Chen Chuan said.

The custom here for New Year’s Eve dinner is to eat two meals of dumplings, one at eight o’clock in the evening, and then one during the Chinese New Year at eleven o’clock in the evening.

"Okay, then I'll go home and make dumplings for you." Qin Xiang said.

The group of people parted at the door of the dealership.

The cousins ​​drove two cars back to the village to prepare for ancestor worship.

When Chen Chuan was driving back, he passed by Hai Yueting and went in to take a look.

Andy is packing her things and preparing to go home. Her home is not in the city. She was very happy to see Chen Chuan come in and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"I'll give you some wine. You can take it home to your dad." Chen Chuan moved a box of Moutai with an iron lid from the car, a box of dry red wine, a box of vodka, and a box of wild ginseng, deer antler, and caviar.

"It's too heavy, it wouldn't be so much..." Andy exclaimed softly.

"No? I think you can..." Chen Chuan smiled and closed the door of the villa.

This can be regarded as a farewell gift before the Spring Festival.

Andy pushed shyly, looked at the time and said, "You... don't delay your return home to worship your ancestors. It's already three o'clock."

"It's okay, let's have fun here and play a mobile game. It won't take long." Chen Chuan took out his mobile phone and said.

So, the two played until 4:30 in the afternoon.

Andy went out and drove home.

Chen Chuan also looked at the house, tidied it up briefly, and went out with the garbage bag.

"Is it time to go home and worship your ancestors?" Someone in the next courtyard struck up a conversation.

Chen Chuan turned around and saw the neighbor putting the garbage bag into the trash can not far away. Chen Chuan took two bottles of wine from the car and walked into her yard: "You are here for the New Year, why don't you go back?" where?"

"I'm going back to my parents' house and will be leaving soon. I'm here to catch up on a manuscript." The neighbor said, "You also gave me wine. It's just right. I have good tea here and I'll give you two cans. Just sit down and I'll go Get it for you, come in."

The neighbor invited me generously.

Chen Chuan walked into her home. This was the first time he had entered her home. The decoration style was quite fresh and refined.

There is a solid wood table by the window on the first floor, with a notebook placed on it. Next to the notebook is a thermos cup filled with wolfberry, which is still steaming.

"Do you work here?" Chen Chuan asked.

"Sometimes I'm here, sometimes I go to the study upstairs." The neighbor smiled, "You are very good at time management. I heard you and Andy playing games here just now. Here, here are the tea leaves for you."

Chen Chuan put down the wine, took the tea, and glanced at the web page on his notebook. It was the comment area of ​​a website. He saw someone commenting, "There are too many characters on the scene."

Chen Chuan asked curiously: "What level are you at?"

"I used to think I was pretty good, but now, because there are too many restrictions, I can't write a lot, and I can't go too deep, so my performance is restricted." The neighbor laughed.

"No, there are too many restrictions, so why do people say there are too many characters? Is there any connection between this?" Chen Chuan asked

"Of course there is. Think about it, what is the best story? Take the city, for example, a male protagonist, and then add three or four in-depth female characters. But there is a premise, that is, it must be The characterization must be in-depth, and the occupations must be well designed. There must be close-ups and a sense of picture. Especially the scenes of interaction with the protagonist must be described. Only with pictures can there be emotions, but the problem now is that you cannot write about the interaction between men and women. The pictures can’t even be linked together. Therefore, the characters cannot be established at all, and the plot can only be filled in by various characters, do you understand?” said the neighbor.

Chen Chuan shook his head.

The neighbor added: "You will understand if you give me an example. For example, if you write about a beautiful school beauty, she interacts with the protagonist at various times and places, such as her home, shopping malls, seaside, mountains, etc. Top, bar, KTV private room, in the car, on the plane, on the high-speed train on the way to travel, etc. As long as you dare to slow down time, write in detail how the two of you get along in this space, just outline it with a few strokes Pictures can achieve the effect of deepening readers' impressions, which are the so-called details. With details, readers will like the characters."

Chen Chuan seemed to understand.

The neighbor added, "To sum up, as long as you design a few characters carefully and focus on the characterization, they will definitely look good. But there are many disadvantages. First, if the characterization is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, it will attract negative fans. Sometimes it is not because Your writing is not good and you attract criticism, but it is precisely your portrayal that is too vivid that attracts criticism. Moreover, the antagonism between men and women in society is very serious now. If you portray the female characters in the book more, some people will say that you are licking. Dog. Moreover, if you write a female character who has her own thoughts and does not rely on men, some people will not like it, think it is poisonous, and think she is suspected of being a female fighter."

"Listening to what you said, it's really difficult. But in reality, a person shouldn't only know a few people." Chen Chuan said.

"Yeah, but reality is reality. If you write it all down, book friends won't be able to remember it. Anyway, just write whatever you want. Fortunately, I don't rely entirely on this to make a living. I also have other income. I just need to update the Buddhist system in my spare time. Just two chapters, just treat it as a side job to earn some pocket money," she said.

"Come on, where are you? I'll give you a reward..."

"It's a secret. I can't tell you for the time being. If you give me a reward for the Golden Alliance, wouldn't I be punished with death? Haha, please go home quickly. I'm going to pack up and leave," said the neighbor.

Chen Chuan came out of his neighbor's house, drove back to the village, and looked at the tea she gave - Biluochun.

The two bottles of wine he gave to his neighbor were Wuliangye Cloisonne, costing 12,000 a bottle. So, her return gift must not be too cheap, right?

There happened to be a code on the packaging box, so Chen Chuan scanned it with his phone:

Drops, Biluochun 2019 New Tea Special Mingqian Spring Tea Authentic Bulk Tea Gift Box Strong Flavor Green Tea - 69 yuan.

Very good, this is very neighborly, not even 100 yuan.

Returned to Dujiacun.

About a hundred members of the family, big and small, have gathered together, all dressed in straight clothes, and marching towards the ancestral graves.

The smell of fireworks and incense lingered.

Grandpa Guangtai's family has four sons, and each son has four or five sons. There are about 20 fathers and 30 or 40 peers, plus other members of the family.

The road is full of people and cars.

In fact, it is not far from the ancestral graves, but many people still drive there. I don’t know whether they are unwilling to take a step or want to show off their beautiful cars.

Hundreds of people came to the ancestral graves, knelt down together and fired firecrackers.

My great-grandfather lived to be 102 years old and was protecting him underground. All his descendants are very pious.

After the worship ceremony, everyone walked back together.

"Ding, the mall has refreshed a product, [Fang Cun Du Heng Ye], you can redeem it by spending 3,000 points."

Chen Chuan was walking, sharing cigarettes with several cousins, when he heard this prompt.

3,000 points is indeed a lot, and you have to spend 30 million to exchange it.

But judging from the name of this product, it seems to be a spiritual fruit and spiritual leaf type, so it’s worth spending more points.

[Fangcun Du Heng Leaf]: The Du Heng leaf grown in Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai can slowly melt when held in the mouth, and has the effect of strengthening the body after being swallowed. It comes with a special effect: it can automatically remove harmful nicotine from the body, and also eliminate nicotine dependence.

When Chen Chuan heard the product introduction, he felt that this one was good. To put it bluntly, it was similar to the [True Sobering Pill]. This one could eliminate the harm caused by nicotine in cigarettes, and would not make you addicted to cigarettes. Although he was not addicted to cigarettes, he only smoked one occasionally.

Without others paying attention, Chen Chuan took out this small green leaf and held it in his mouth. The fresh taste had a natural fragrance, and he felt refreshed.

"Ding, the host swallows [Fang Cun Du Heng Leaf] and gets the effect of automatically clearing nicotine. It triggers an additional critical hit effect and the metabolism positive effect +5%."

Chen Chuan tried the product and found a positive effect on metabolism... Although I don’t know what a positive effect is, it should be a beneficial aspect. 5% is not much, but it is not bad.

The other cousins, except Chen Shan, did not get any benefits from Chen Chuan.

Before dinner, Chen Chuan went to his uncle's house one by one, and each house had a golden leaf.

Uncles from various families also sent things to Chen Chuan's family, but the prices were definitely not as expensive as those sent by Chen Chuan. It doesn't matter whether this thing is high or low, it's just a matter of mind.

What Zhang Xiangyun meant was that each household would have one Liqun and a box of Snow Beer.

After coming back, Zhang Xiangyun said to Chen Chuan: "A friend's favor will make him an enemy. Do you think this old saying is just a joke? You may wonder why small favors make people grateful, but big favors make people turn against each other." Because... there is something called moral pressure, which is called ethical pressure in psychology. When others give you favors, your gratitude is divided into two parts. Internally, it is spontaneous gratitude; externally, it is moral pressure. You have a grateful heart. But this kind of moral pressure can sometimes be unbearable. For example, a gives b ten steamed buns for free every day. Gratitude will slightly decline due to daily expectations of income. At the same time, due to moral pressure and self-protection mechanism, b automatically internalizes the following thoughts: "a deserves to give me white steamed buns. If he doesn't give it, it belongs to a." The problem is not my problem." Then, when one day he can't get the steamed buns, B's psychology will start a backlash: "He really didn't give me the steamed buns! Sure enough, it's his problem, not mine! … A great kindness is never expressed in thanks, and a deep kindness is worse than hatred…”

Zhang Xiangyun started thinking again, talking while making dumplings.

But Chen's father said to Chen Chuan: "It's okay. I'll let your grandma talk about your mother another day."

"I'm not talking down to him, I'm trying to be reasonable." Zhang Xiangyun said.

Chen Chuan was willing to listen to what he had to say. It felt good to listen to outsiders outside and listen to his own mother's thoughts at home. As for these principles, he also knows some. I guess my mother also knows that he knows something, but women are like this, especially after becoming mothers, they just can't help but say this.

"After eating the dumplings later, I'll go out and play." Chen Chuan said.

"Where to go? With whom?" Zhang Xiangyun asked, "Qin Xiang?"

"Well……"

"Go." Zhang Xiangyun said.

Chen Chuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to agree so happily.

Zhang Xiangyun said: "Your second uncle's brother, today is so important for ancestor worship, he went out to play and didn't come back. You are ten thousand times more capable than him, how can we keep you at home... Besides, that girl is good. Wen Kun What do you think?"

"Yes." Father Chen said.

"Who are you sending a message to just by pressing your phone? Bring your phone to me." Zhang Xiangyun patted the flour on his hand.

"I'm a high school classmate. I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. I can't reply." Father Chen handed over the phone.

"Everyone copied and pasted their New Year's greeting messages, so you fought back? It's very affectionate and meaningful." Zhang Xiangyun took the phone, flipped it over, frowned and asked, "Lin Juanyu?"

"Ah... isn't she going to introduce her daughter to Chen Chuan? Since Chen Chuan is now good with Qin Xiang, I want to decline, but I don't want to say it too bluntly, so I should use more gentle words." Chen's father said.

Zhang Xiangyun pressed the phone. Father Chen lowered his head to make dumplings and didn't see it, but Chen Chuan did.

This mother was on a video call with "Lin Jianyu".

beep!

The video is connected.

"Hi, happy New Year." Two beauties, one big and one small, appeared in the camera.

Father Chen looked up in shock and saw Zhang Xiangyun holding a cell phone and chatting with Lin Juanyu and his daughter with a smile.

"Hey, happy New Year, Sister Lin, you are going to make dumplings." Zhang Xiangyun said with a smile, "Hey, that little beauty next to you is your daughter, right? What is her name?"

"Xiao Zhao, this is Chen Chuan's mother, scream quickly."

"Hello Aunt Zhang..."

Listening to the two female voices in the video, a mature and graceful one and a young and beautiful one, Chen Chuan also looked at his father.

Father Chen said: "It just so happens that Chen Chuan, you met Xiao Zhao in the video."

Chen Chuan felt an urge to urinate, so he left first and went to the hut in the courtyard.

He also knew why his mother made the video call. It was because of her personality. Maybe after dialing this video, there is nothing to talk about or ask. But seeing that her father was always there typing and chatting with others, she would call him on impulse.

Chen Chuan looked at it from a man's perspective. Although Lin Jianyu was the class beauty back then, in terms of appearance, her mother was no worse than her. Because grandma's hometown is Tianfu, my mother is also from there. Beautiful women have been produced there since ancient times, and they have good skin and figure.

As for his father, he is a bit close to his old classmates. Chen Chuan can't say anything about this, mainly...it doesn't seem to matter.

If you think about it from another perspective, you have worked hard for half your life, and suddenly your family is rich and you are buying a Maybach worth two to three million dollars. You will definitely feel proud among a group of old friends. They may float a little bit, but they won't float to the sky. This is because they are all members of the family and their personalities are known to each other.

At this time, the main hall door opened, and Chen's father also came out to use the toilet.

The father and son looked at each other, and Chen Chuan asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Chen's father took out a cigarette, pulled out a cigarette, threw it to Chen Chuan, and took out another one himself.

Chen Chuan took out a lighter, lit it for his father, and then lit it for himself. Suddenly I thought of the leaves that I got on the way back from worshiping my ancestors, which can decompose nicotine. Next time I have that spiritual leaf, I should give my father one.

"Are you and Aunt Lin okay?" Chen Chuan asked again.

Father Chen took a drag on his cigarette and said, "I won't hide it from you. She encountered some financial difficulties and asked me to borrow money. I didn't borrow..."

"Why not borrow it? Since we are old classmates, I can help if I can. How much is missing?" Chen Chuan asked.

"I didn't have time to borrow it...other students in the class lent it to her," Chen's father said.

"..."

Father Chen blew out a puff of smoke and said deeply: "I have nothing to do with her, but as far as I know, the person who lent her the money... that person's mind is not pure. Moreover, he is not from our class, but from the next class. Yes, I engaged in logistics in the first two years and made money."

"Logistics...don't mention Fang..." Chen Chuan looked at his father.

"Huh? How do you know your surname is Fang?" Dad glared.

"Don't call her Fang Teng..." Chen Chuan said weakly.

"Ah?" Dad asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Chen Chuan spread his hands and said: "There are a lot of logistics companies in our city, but not many have become prosperous in the past two years. I know that Tengtang Logistics is going well, so I just made a casual guess."

Dad said: "It's not easy for Aunt Lin to raise a daughter and run a hotel by herself. She is a simple and kind-hearted person, and her life is relatively hard. So, as an old classmate, I don't want to see her meet again. People are unkind, and as far as I know, that boss is unreliable. I don’t have any dirty thoughts myself. Your mother is the only one in my life. You should know this."

"Don't say it in such a disgusting way, it's so disgusting..." Chen Chuan said.

"I just don't want to see a simple woman being unkind to someone again. Is there anything wrong with that?" Dad said.

"It's okay, old man, tell me, how much money does she need? I support you lending it to her. If you don't have enough, I have this." Chen Chuan said.

At this time, I heard Zhang Xiangyun in the room say with a smile: "Oh, Juanyu, I think I heard Chen Wenkun mentioned something about the funds. Well... our family doesn't have any money now, not even a penny. You came back when the hot pot restaurant opened, and you all voted for it. How about I help you ask my sisters to see if they can help you..."

In the courtyard.

Chen Chuan and his father looked at each other.

"Dad, how do I feel? When I was making dumplings just now, my mother said that kindness is more than hatred. It seems that she was not just talking about me. Was she talking about you?" Chen Chuan said.

"Maybe, forget it. If your mother says you don't have money, then you don't have money. Anyway, she is the biggest. I can't care about other people's lives. We just need to take care of our own." Father Chen said, "I'll go in. Dumplings, you'll finish them later, don't you have to go find Qin Xiang. In the evening...it depends on the situation. If it's too late, you don't have to come back. Try not to burn the midnight oil. But you have to come back tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings to the village."
