Trafford’s Trading Club

Even though he was an old classmate and a friend for many years, from a business perspective, the negotiator from the client company did not blindly like the second short video recommended by Zhu Maolin. .

Although the second film is indeed more interesting, Shao Fei had to consider the additional effects brought about by the popularity of the heroine in the first film.

But in the end, after a round of negotiations, Shao Fei bought the second piece of film because the cost of the second piece of film was not high, it could even be described as cheap, and the quality was quite high, so it was okay By broadcasting it on other TV stations as a complement, the advertising effect may be better.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable meeting.

"Maolin, thank you for your hard work."

After the meeting, Shao Fei came to Zhu Maolin. They can have a short-talking relationship. Shao Fei handed Zhu Maolin a cigarette, and Zhu Maolin shook his head and said he quit.

Shao Fei smoked by himself. The fog was a bit thick, so he opened the window. The lights in the city outside were already on. He looked at the bamboo forest and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, how long has it been since we last had a good time together? "

Zhu Maolin thought for a while and said, "It's been more than half a year, right? The last time it seemed was April or May?"

Shao Fei was a little dazed, and squeaked a few times, "Has it been so long? Why does it feel like it's only been three or two months?"

Zhu Maolin nodded, "It's been such a long time. Last time I saw you, your belly didn't seem so big."

Shao Fei touched his belly and laughed heartily, "People say you gain weight in middle age. I won't be thirty until next year. It seems to be early... Think about seven or eight years ago, when I was still in college. I’m still in good health.”

"Skinny." Zhu Maolin only said one word.

Shao Fei suggested: "How about we have a weekend party after I finish this advertising project? Call your wife. It just so happens that I haven't rested for a long time, and my wife and children at home almost don't welcome me home." .”

"No." Zhu Maolin shook his head, "I still have a project I'm working on, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time."

"You have to do your work, but you can't become a slave to it, right? I'm talking about Mao Lin, you should stop occasionally, right?" Shao Fei frowned and suddenly said: "I'm talking about Mao Lin, you and Your wife, are you still thinking about that matter? Has it been a long time ago? "

Zhu Maolin just patted Shao Fei's shoulder gently, "That's it. I have to go back to the company to clean up. Let's talk next time."

"Okay, it's up to you." Shao Fei nodded and didn't push too hard.

After Zhu Maolin left, Shao Fei planned to finish smoking the cigarette. He continued to look at the city outside, thinking about the hard work he had just come out of campus six or seven years ago, and how he was so sleepless and forgetful about food.

How many people are also forgetting to eat and sleep, those people rushing to and fro under the neon lights... often ignore many things.

He was unable to measure clearly which proportion of what was gained and what was lost in this process was greater.

It's just that he is still satisfied with his current life. Although he is a little tired, there is always some excitement waiting for him that can relax him.

In general, for Shao Fei, tomorrow can be hoped for and cherished.

…

…

Tomorrow can still be hoped for and cherished.

This is the slogan of a public service announcement... It's just above the advertisement board at the bus stop. Hou Chen Yuhan, who was sitting here waiting for the bus, has been looking at it for a long time.

She was suddenly curious, whether the person who came up with such an advertising slogan... was really so strong in his heart, and whether he was optimistic enough to face all the suffering. Or perhaps, this is just an empty statement occasionally pieced together after a large amount of text accumulation.

Maybe there are really optimistic and positive people who can overcome all difficulties... After all, the world's population base is so huge.

Buses came and went one by one in front of her. Some were buses on the route she should take, and some were buses she didn't need.

However, she just missed what she needed, and then looked at what she didn't need... and was unwilling to let her body move. The pedestrians on the road seem to be shot in fast forward, from left to right, and from right to left.

How long has it been like this?

I don't even want to think about this issue. Even more willing to stop thinking. If we could stop the activity of brain cells...would there be no such thing as "uncontrollable thoughts"?

Hou Chen Yuhan covered her face with her hands and started crying in this bustling street... Passers-by were still coming and going in a hurry. To her, everything seemed like a silent pantomime. She didn't know who was singing who. A one-man show.

"Are you OK?"

There are still good-hearted people.

Hou Chen Yuhan heard the voice in her ear. She raised her head and saw an aunt in her fifties with a concerned look in her eyes.

Hou Chen Yuhan shook his head, stood up, lowered his head without saying a word, quickly left the kind aunt, and then walked aimlessly on the street.

The above is what she experienced before coming to this place... It should be these things. However, Hou Chen Yuhan had no memory of how he walked into this place.

I just feel that the decoration style here has an indescribable flavor... It's like being in the gap between old and new time and space, which makes her feel at peace.

Under the flickering candlelight, a young man was looking at him with a smile, and beside him stood another woman who was as beautiful as a dream.

Everything can be bought.

This is a place where people get what they want... The mysterious boss explained to her the meaning of this place's existence.

She naturally believed it, as if her overall understanding did not deny the illogical power of this place.

"Want a child?" Luo Qiu looked at Hou Chen Yuhan. This was her request in compliance with what she was thinking at the moment.

Negotiations in clubs have always been like this. Guests will always say what they want at this moment and what they think in their hearts. As for whether it is correct and whether it is worth it, that is something that the guests themselves have to weigh, even if they will be disappointed later. And regret.

Boss Luo thought for a while and then said: "If you just want a child, why don't you plan to adopt one? If it is just for emotional sustenance, there should be examples of deeper sustenance even if there is no blood relationship. In this case, I feel that the customer might You don’t have to get it from us.”

If you want to do business, Hou Chen Yuhan seems to think that this boss is very strange... It's like he is persuading the customer to think again.

She couldn't even tell whether the young man had good intentions or false intentions.

"It won't work...if it weren't for me and his child, it wouldn't work." Hou Chen Yuhan shook his head, his eyes firmer and more paranoid than a few minutes ago.

"Then I understand." Luo Qiu nodded, "We really have no reason to reject a persistent customer... However, I ask again, we can give you a child that belongs to you and your husband, but in terms of cost... "

The boss stretched out his hand in front of Hou Chen Yuhan, and flower cards appeared in front of her one after another. These were all things she could use to pay.

"As long as there is no choice, you can still withdraw the request." Luo Qiu finally said, "But again, once the decision is made, it cannot be changed. So we hope that you, the guest, can consider it carefully. After all, , and we don’t want the guest to feel resentful when we charge this fee.”

After reading the flower cards one by one, Hou Chen Yuhan looked at Luo Qiu with a complicated expression, as if he had become hesitant... The price marked in it was forming a swinging scale in her heart.

It is normal to hesitate at the last moment of making a decision...or in other words, when there is still room for hesitation.

The boss has great patience and is waiting calmly for Hou Chen Yuhan's decision. He didn't urge her, nor did he give her any suggestions. He was so calm that he seemed to be integrated with the flames of candles burning peacefully around her.

"I...can I think about it again?" Hou Chen Yuhan finally did not have the courage to choose any of the flower cards.

"Of course." Boss Luo smiled and said, "We are not forcing you. Moreover, guests don't have to worry about missing this opportunity and not having another chance. Because, strictly speaking, we are always on your side. I want you to remember If you keep this in mind, then you can always..."

Like an angel's whisper, but also like a devil's whisper.

When Hou Chen Yuhan came to his senses, he was still surrounded by passers-by rushing home after get off work.

Everyone was in a hurry, because there was always somewhere to go... Hou Chen Yuhan found that she suddenly couldn't remember what the mysterious boss looked like.

Hou Chen Yuhan subconsciously took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a moment.

Hou Chen Yuhan: Do you have to work overtime tonight?

Husband: I just finished a meeting at Shao Fei's company and I have to rush back to the company soon. If everything goes well, I should be able to do it early. What's up?

I just came across...

But she quickly deleted these words and typed this instead: Let’s talk about it when you come back.

Husband: If it’s too late, you don’t have to wait for me.

Hou Chen Yuhan did not respond to this sentence.

…

…

When the elevator arrived at the lobby of the building, Zhu Maolin waited for a while, but did not receive a text message from his wife. He shook his head, remembering what Shao Fei had said to him.

So he typed: Shao Fei said, would you like to have a family gathering...

But he quickly deleted these texts, and ultimately did not send any text messages... Let's go back to the company, he told himself.

Zhu Maolin drove the car and stopped when he was about to return to the company. He planned to buy something to eat for dinner, and then continue to work overtime... For him, food was just something to satisfy his hunger.

"Help!"

An embarrassed figure suddenly crashed into Zhu Maolin, and at the same time, there was a man with murderous eyes. Just the moment he looked at this man, Zhu Maolin felt as if he was being stared at by a lion.

"Help me...please."

It should be a woman, hiding behind him at this time, Zhu Maolin frowned... He is not a person with a particularly sense of justice, and he is not willing to get himself involved in something unfair just because the other party is a woman. This is especially the case when you don't know who is right and who is wrong.

Zhu Maolin subconsciously looked at the panicked woman hiding behind him, and then was startled: "Is it you?"

This is...that new model Xiaolu.

"Ah... Manager Zhu!" Xiaolu looked happy at this time, as if she had encountered a life-saving straw, "Manager Zhu, help me... this guy is a bad guy!"

You're the worst one, okay... Dazhe doesn't know where to start complaining, but at least he plays his true character, and it's not just a joke.

"Hey! Brother, you'd better stop meddling in other people's business." So Dazhe said in a calm voice, neither salty nor light, but it sounded like a knife, "This woman owes us a lot of money, and she never refuses. And...you know what should be done, right?"

Zhu Maolin frowned... Recently I heard that many students at school, especially female students, would do some ridiculous things, such as nudity or loans.

The modeling circle is very chaotic, and the girls who are mixed up in the circle are mixed... Although this Xiaolu has had a chance to cooperate once, she has not had much contact with her. He dare not say for sure whether there is something hidden under her pure and charming appearance. What.

"Since it's a financial dispute, it's not convenient for me to intervene." Zhu Maolin shook his head, "Besides, you and I are not familiar with each other."

"Did you hear that? I'm not interested in a bitch like you!" Dazhe snorted coldly, stepped forward and quickly reached out to grab Xiaolu's arm, pulled her up hard, and looked at Zhu Maolin said: "Brother, if you don't have anything to do, just leave. We don't want to cause trouble."

"Let me go! What are you doing! Let go! Who allowed you to touch me! Let me go!" 'Xiaolu' screamed in extreme horror at this time.

Her face suddenly turned pale, and her whole body was trembling.

Looking at 'Xiao Lu''s appearance at this time, Dazhe really felt that if he hadn't known what was going on, he would have taken this guy as such.

Sister No. 18, it would be a waste if you don’t win an Oscar for your acting skills.

"Let...let me go!!"

There's no need to go to such an extent... Dazhe frowned, but it seemed that Zhu Maolin had no intention of interfering, which meant that he didn't do this routine at all.

Dazhe could only sneer and say: "Huh, if you want to blame it, blame your rotten gambler dad who doesn't have a long memory! The father's debt must be paid by the son. Since your rotten gambler dad ran away, you must pay it back! You Can you escape?"

"L-let me go! Don't... don't touch me!"

But Dazhe seemed to be unable to hear and forcefully pulled her along.

"Let her go." Zhu Maolin suddenly grabbed Dazhe's arm and said calmly: "Otherwise I will call the police."

"Huh? Just now you said you don't want to interfere because you're not familiar... Do you want to cause trouble?" Dazhe sneered and stared at the other party: "Brother, it's very simple for us to mess with you!"

Zhu Maolin said calmly: "In the streets here, even if it's not me, there will be people with a strong sense of justice who can't stand it. If she makes a fuss along the way, you will be in trouble. Besides, , if it’s just a matter of money, why not use other methods?”

Dazhe continued to sneer: "Listening to what you said, are you planning to help her pay back the money?"

Zhu Maolin shook his head: "I have no such plan. She can pay back the money herself, no one else is needed."

Dazhe was stunned, frowned and snorted: "If she could pay back the money, she wouldn't run away when she saw us! This is simply a repudiation!"

Zhu Maolin said calmly: "It doesn't happen now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. You are just asking for money, there is no need to force people to do this. She has the ability to make money, and if you are willing to give her time, I believe she also wants to pay her back." Losing this money has nothing to do with you. But what’s the benefit of forcing people to do this? Brother, if you are too dark, you won’t be able to survive for a long time."

Dazhe sneered, then suddenly grabbed Zhu Maolin's collar and pulled him in front of him, "Boy, are you brave? You dare to talk to me like this?"

But Zhu Maolin was seen with a calm expression, calmly facing Dazhe's gaze.

At this moment, Dazhe's eyes glanced at Zhu Maolin's collar that he had torn open... Under this neck, Dazhe saw something.

If he read it correctly, this was a tattoo, a very big tattoo, not the kind of petty thing that young men and women would tattoo themselves for each other.

Generally speaking...this is something that only people who have been around get tattooed.

"So he was also a gangster on the road?" Dazhe said suddenly at this time.

Zhu Maolin said calmly: "Let go. I don't want to cause trouble. I said that she has the ability to pay back the money. As long as you give her time, she can find a job and she can always pay back. Don't push people to a dead end, like this It’s not good for anyone.”

Dazhe patted Zhu Maolin's chest twice hard, "Okay, I'll give you some face this time, but it won't count like this... You just have to ask her to pay back the money, otherwise I won't care about you." Cross that road!"

…

"Okay, he's gone." Zhu Maolin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiaolu and said, "You should go home too."

But seeing Xiaolu squatting on the ground, huddled up, still looking panicked, Zhu Maolin frowned and patted Xiaolu on the shoulder, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"No... don't touch me!" She became even more panicked.
