Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

It’s almost the end of July, and even though the city is close to the sea, the weather is so hot that people still don’t want to go out. Compared with other cities, the economy-centered city has a very strong Olympic atmosphere. After all, this is an international metropolis.

Compared to the seriousness of Yanjing, the atmosphere here is much better than ours.

So the Olympic atmosphere here is not the same as that of Athena in Greece, where it is held, but things related to the Olympics appeared earlier than other cities.

For example, Athena and Favos dolls, the mascots of this year's Greek Olympic Games, are much more popular here than in other cities.

Regarding the mascots of the Olympic Games, to be honest, even if I put aside the Eastern and Western cultures, I am surprised. Yang Dongxu still feels that these Olympic dolls are far less cute than the puppets of the twelve zodiac animals.

Especially when looking at the Athena and Favors dolls in his hands, Yang Dongxu always felt like he was holding two monsters in his hands instead of some mascot.

He had no problem with the mascot's unique design, but the two dolls in his hands were both monsters, which made him speechless.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom. According to legend, she is a more beautiful being than the enchanting Medusa. She was designed with big feet in her hands and a pointed head. I wonder if Athena has a spirit in the sky and will borrow it from Zeus.

With a flick of the thunder scepter in his hand, the designer was reduced to ashes.

"Actually, it feels good to take a closer look." Wu Xue organized Xiao Wenchen in his arms to tear the doll in his mouth in various ways. Just now, he put Favors' head into his mouth without paying attention.

Inside, it was already full of saliva and Yang Dongxu held it in his hand. He held Athena in his hand.

A four-year-old child can actually speak clearly, and can also understand other people's speech to a certain extent. However, when holding something, he can't help but knead it into strange shapes, or put it into his mouth to test the firmness.

I don’t know if it’s because when I was one or two years old, I wanted to put everything in my mouth.

Next to her, Zhou Ya, who was wearing a short shirt, a t-shirt, an ordinary straw hat and sunglasses, didn't pay much attention to her son, but was picking and choosing the small commodities on the stall in front of her.

The stall owner is a dark-skinned man. No matter how ordinary Zhou Ya dresses, her temperament from having held a high position for so many years cannot completely become ordinary. So every time when Yang Dongxu asks about the price, Yang Dongxu always feels that this stall owner is secretly looking at his wife.

, doubled the price quoted to others.

Many people feel that rich people are fools, and it is especially easy to deceive rich people. For example, a meal costs hundreds of thousands, and a bottle of wine costs tens of thousands. They are simply taken advantage of.

But in fact, rich people are more stingy than ordinary people when buying things, especially when buying things on carpets. Unless a man and a woman are in love, the man deliberately pretends to be generous and directly gives the money.

Otherwise, rich people buy hundreds of thousands of luxury goods without blinking an eye, but when they buy some ordinary small things, they are even stingier than ordinary people when bargaining.

For example, my wife Zhou Ya came up with a bargaining technique that she had only half-read, and after this bargaining method did not achieve the desired effect, she began to look for other cheap and useful things to fill the gap.

Then, by using average methods such as items that cost two yuan, three items for five yuan, etc., the price can basically be accepted by both parties, making the vendor's plan to deceive fools completely fail.

"If you don't sell it, forget it."

Then he left with his husband and son.

After walking a few steps, the vendor hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, I'll buy you two pieces. I'm really losing money. If I didn't want to get the business off to a good start today, I would never sell it to you." In the game, a business was finally completed.

.

"Brother, do you know that those stamps we collected before are very valuable?" Wu Xue nudged Xiao Wenchen, who was sliding down in his arms, and asked him to move up in his arms.

In fact, children don’t want to stay in the arms of adults on hot days, especially at the age of four or five, when children are lively and curious.

For example, in rural areas, Xiao Wenchen, who likes to dig into every corner even if he doesn't go out, or at least pokes at mouse holes with a stick, doesn't always have clean clothes.

This was the first time I came to the magic city, and there were many thieves around, so I could stay quietly in Wu Xue's arms for a while, but it was only for a while. After I became a little familiar with the lively surroundings, I twisted and twisted in Wu Xue's arms and couldn't stay any longer.

"Sell a small amount with money, and the price of that stuff will go up." Yang Dongxu glanced at the Olympic stamps on the stall, and his son, who was beginning to want to rebel, took them from Wu Xue's arms and put them around his neck.

This way, you don't have to crowd around the beautiful aunt to be suspicious and uncomfortable, and it's very novel to sit on my father's neck. Xiao Wenchen stroked the hair on the top of his father's head without any politeness, and kept looking around with his big eyes.

The stamps Wu Xue mentioned were the stamps collected by Yang Dongxu back then. Instead of collecting stamps from envelopes, Yang Dongxu's stamp collection was bought in full pages at the post office.

At that time, Wu Xue followed him like a follower and bought some with her meager pocket money. I don’t know if the domestic philatelic market has been affected by the atmosphere of foreign stamp collecting in recent years, or whether it is the domestic shareholder collection market that is booming.

.

The prices of monkey stamps and earlier stamps have been rising steadily in the past two years. Although it has not reached the exaggerated level of exchanging one stamp for a house, the price is already very impressive.

"If you don't use money much, then just keep collecting. I just don't understand how stamps that cost just a few cents can now be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars." Wu Xue said casually.

"Maybe I'm full and have nothing to do." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at her husband angrily. Despite his age, he still spoke so openly. Didn't you see that the stall owner looked at him differently?

Because in addition to selling some Olympic stamps, his stall also sold some gadgets that seemed to be from the past. At first glance, he looked like a player. When Yang Dongxu said this in front of him, wasn't he clearly pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?

With the little guy on their backs, the three of them turned around and walked into the air-conditioned milk tea shop next to them to get cooler. Only then did Yang Dongxu feel the murderous eyes behind him disappear.

"Um... Wu Xue?" The three of them were at a party, looking at the list of milk tea flavors to drink, when an uncertain voice sounded.

Then she put sunglasses on her forehead and wore denim shorts and a tight short shirt to show off her beautiful figure. The big earrings on both sides were slightly exaggerated, but they perfectly set off the charming face of the urban beauty from the table next to her.

stood up.

This milk tea shop not only sells milk tea, but also sells cakes, ice cream, fruit smoothies, etc., so there are several high tables nearby for customers to stay in the shop.

"Who are you?" Wu Xue was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of her uncertainly, and then at the other girl and two boys on the table where she had just stood up. None of them looked familiar.

"I am Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague. We have met before. This is your friend Yang Dongxu, hello. My name is Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague." There was not much embarrassment on Jiang Lan'er's face, and she greeted her very warmly.

"Hello." Yang Dongxu nodded politely.

"Oh, I remembered, I saw you and Jiang Jing together before. It was the first time we met you dressed like this and no one came out. Where is Jiang Jing?

I haven’t seen her for a long time. The last time I called her, I heard that she was getting married. Her boyfriend said he was from out of town, and she didn’t say when she was getting married. Then I called her again and she seemed to have changed her phone number and didn’t tell me.

, the phone is down and can’t be reached." Wu Xue also had a smile on her face.

She didn't have many friends in Shanghai, Jiang Jing barely counted as one. When the two of them lived in the same dormitory, they had some friendship. Jiang Jing even gave her gifts when she moved.

This Jiang Laner seemed to be there at that time. It was too long and I can’t remember clearly. Of course, the main reason was that Jiang Laner, who was wearing cool and slightly sexy clothes, was a bit different from the stern bank counter staff in appearance, so I didn’t recognize her for a while.

"They didn't get married, and they broke up again. She almost quit her job because of his boyfriend, and finally she applied for a transfer to her boyfriend's job. It turned out that the man was nothing at all. He said he was married and ended up messing around outside." Jiang Laner was a little bit.

He said indignantly.

But his eyes were looking at Zhou Ya next to Yang Dongxu from time to time. Although Zhou Ya was wearing ordinary clothes and didn't seem to have any famous brands, she still had some discernment as she worked in a bank. She felt that the woman in front of her was very extraordinary, but for a moment she said

Nothing extraordinary.

But seeing her standing next to Yang Dongxu, the big money owner, and there was a child with a tiger head sitting on Yang Dongxu's neck, I couldn't help but make some guesses in my heart.

"Then her job was transferred back? By the way, you had her phone number but you didn't give me her phone number." Jiang Jing said and Wuxue couldn't help but become concerned.

"Yes." Jiang Laner said quickly, then trotted back to her desk and took the latest Samsung flip phone with a rhinestone-encrusted casing. "Is your phone number still the same as before? I'll send it to you."

She had Wu Xue's mobile phone number. She knew it from Jiang Jing when she was still working in Shanghai.

"It's still the same." Wu Xue nodded and didn't think it was strange that the other party had his own mobile phone number.

"Okay, I've sent it to you. I won't disturb you anymore. Jiang Jing said she is coming to Shanghai to relax in the past few days. She will call you and we will have dinner together."

"Okay, thank you." Wu Xue thanked her after receiving the text message.

"You're welcome, Jiang Jing's friends are my friends, so I won't disturb you anymore." Jiang Laner waved her hands with a smile and returned to her small table to continue spending time with her friends, but looking here from time to time.

Until Yang Dongxu and others bought milk tea and left the store, they couldn't help but look disappointed.

Except for the milk tea shop, Zhou Ya's eyes were always looking at Yang Dongxu. Her thoughtful gaze made Yang Dongxu feel a little scared.

I had to pretend not to understand and play with my son with a milk tea bucket.

Although Jiang Laner's gaze was hidden just now, except for Wu Xue, a silly girl with no scheming, she didn't notice it. The other party's little scheming was obviously invisible in Zhou Ya's eyes.

Moreover, although there is a cover-up, Jiang Laner's eyes almost sparkle like diamonds when she sees Yang Dongxu. In addition, after seeing Xiao Wenchen and thinking of Zhou Ya's identity, her eyes are obviously a little dodgey. Anyone with a clear mind can guess it.

Because of what.

So Yang Dongxu also smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't do anything, why did he seem to have made a big mistake?
