What It’s Like Being a Vampire

"Where is it? I caused Director Liu trouble." Xiang Kun said with an apologetic expression.

Liu Caifu shook his head and sighed: "These two boys can be regarded as my distant nephews. We, the elders in the village, are also responsible for not educating them well. Alas, these two idiots are also suffering from a demonic disease. They just want to make quick money , soaring into the sky, do you think that 'zhutoubao' is a good product?"

While speaking, Liu Caifu said with some concern: "I heard Ah Meng mentioned before that you had a little quarrel with someone yesterday afternoon, and then you had a private affair. I didn't expect it to be with that 'zhutoubao'. You guys had something wrong. Aren't you happy? That guy's reputation in Tongshi Town is not very good, he has always been domineering, and he was exposed a few years ago, so he restrained himself a little."

Xiang Kun showed a puzzled expression: "We had a good discussion when we got out of the car. They were fully responsible, but they were in a hurry to leave, so they didn't call the police or take out the insurance. Everyone was very friendly during the discussion. "

He knew that Liu Feibao was unlikely to take revenge, and would even try his best to avoid such a thing from happening, so with this statement, director Liu felt at ease. In his opinion, this matter is that the two Tie Hanhan made their own decisions, and it will be over here, there is no need to continue to create extra problems.

Sure enough, Liu Caifu felt relieved after hearing what he said, and stepped on his electric car to lead the way.

After Xiang Kun returned to the car, Yang Zhen'er immediately poked his head over from the back seat, and asked curiously, "Your friend knows those two people who touch porcelain? Why did you run away with just two or three words?"

"They're all from the same village, so they know each other very well. He's the deputy director of the village and has a high seniority, so of course he can live in it." Xiang Kun explained casually.

"I thought I could watch you fight two!" Yang Zhen'er said regretfully.

"Huh? You trust my skills so much? What if I get beaten up?"

"No, if you're not sure, call the police in the car! Since you got out of the car with confidence, you must think that you won't have a problem if you win one-on-two!" Yang Zhen'er said with certainty.

Tang Baona also said: "Did you just find out that they had bad intentions, so you called the village director in advance and asked him to pick us up?"

Hearing what the two of them said, Xiang Kun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that after more than five months of getting along, not only did he have a deep understanding of their personalities, preferences, and behaviors, but they also had a deep understanding of their habits and behaviors. The style is also quite familiar.

Not to mention Lao Xia, even according to his observation, Zhang Qian didn't look worried or apprehensive when she saw him get out of the car just now, as if she thought he would definitely be able to handle it.

Xiang Kun put his hearing on the Corolla behind,

The four people in that car were also talking about the situation just now.

"I was scared to death. I thought those two people were going to block the road and rob." The voice belonged to Xiao Min, obviously worried and frightened.

"It should be Pengci, but it seems that Xiang Kun didn't give any money. I guess the person riding the electric bike knew Xiang Kun and drove them away." The voice was self-contained, and it was also a little loose. The feeling of breath.

"Don't worry, whether it's by hand or by mouth, it's very easy for Brother Xiang to get rid of him." The very sure tone was Yang Zhuo. This little brother has an extraordinary "superstition" about Xiang Kun's ability.

"If those two people really have bad intentions and hide the guy, you can see how easy he is." This was Yang Jie's voice, obviously thinking that her younger brother's trust in Xiang Kun was a little blind.

"Don't worry, sister, with Brother Xiang's observation skills, if they are hiding something, he will definitely find out in advance. I reckon, Brother Xiang has already discovered those two people. Look at his calm expression when he just got off the car. He also deliberately came here to tell us not to get out of the car, obviously there was a way to deal with it at that time. Maybe he was the one who called the old man on the electric bike in front to help."

"Hey! I called him 'Xiang Daxian', do you really think of him as a 'Great Immortal'?" Yang Jie's tone was a little dissatisfied.

"Old sister, I'm just describing what Brother Xiang has done objectively, but I never said 'Xiang Daxian'!"

"I think you have been brainwashed by Xiang Kun?"

"Brother Xiang is indeed very powerful..." It was Xiao Min who muttered in a low voice.

He listened to other people talking about himself through his super senses, and most of them were boasting and praising, which made Xiang Kun feel very strange.

However, I have to say that Yang Zhuo worshiped him a little too much, but the speculations based on this premise were basically correct.

Not long after, Xiang Kun's two cars followed Liu Caifu's electric car into the village and stopped outside the small courtyard of his three-story self-built house.

As soon as he sensed an outsider coming, the big gray dog ​​in Liu Caifu's yard started barking non-stop.

But when he saw that Xiang Kun walked in first, he immediately whimpered and shrank to a corner.

Seeing this scene, Liu Caifu was also quite surprised and said: "This guy seems to be very afraid of you. When you and Ah Meng came over last time, it didn't even bark twice before it got scared."

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "I'm friendly, and it's friendly to me." As he said that, he went over and patted the head of the big gray dog. This big dog, which is usually very fierce, now obediently drooped its head, Let his big hands ravage.

A round table with a tablecloth had already been set up in the small courtyard of Director Liu’s house. There was a simple-looking middle-aged man and a stout woman busy in the back kitchen, coming in and out, serving some dishes that had been prepared. to the table.

Director Liu said that his wife brought the child back to her natal home, and today his nephew brought some good ingredients. He wanted to get some good dishes to accompany the wine. On the morning, just when he was free, he came over to help prepare these ingredients. It seemed that Xiang Kun and the others came just in time, and he didn't make any special preparations.

But Xiang Kun could see it clearly. It was obvious that the middle-aged couple were specially invited by Liu Caifu to cook.

Xiang Kun knew from You Meng that before they arrived in Tongshi Town yesterday, Liu Caifu already knew they were coming, so obviously, it wasn't his nephew who happened to bring some wild game over to invite them by the way, but most likely he These specially prepared ingredients were ready for a banquet to entertain Xiang Kun and the others.

If it was before, Xiang Kun would avoid bothering Liu Caifu, avoid too much contact, and try not to accept his favor, because this favor cannot be repaid.

But now, since he already had a plan to build Chongyun Village, there was no need to reject Liu Caifu's overtures. If he wants to stay in Chongyun Village in the future, many things will be more convenient with Liu Caifu's care.

After Xiang Kun introduced Tang Baona, Zhang Qian, Zicheng and others to Liu Caifu, everyone sat around the table and prepared to eat.

The middle-aged couple who were cooking, after finishing the dishes, left first on the grounds that they had already had lunch and that they still had something to do at home.

Liu Caifu took out a local specialty fruit wine. Except for Xiang Kun and Zicheng who wanted to drive without drinking, and Xia Libing didn't drink it, everyone else tasted a little bit. This fruit wine has low alcohol content and is easier to drink, so the lady drinks it very well. No problem either.

"Director Liu, we have such a large group of people here, you have to worry about it." Xiang Kun first toasted Liu Caifu with water instead of wine.

Liu Caifu said with a smile: "There is no need to bother. These game and ingredients are ready-made. My wife and children are not here. I will not be able to eat so much. I just heard that Ah Meng said that you brought friends to Tongshi Town to play, so I thought I want you to come over and have fun with me, the 'left-behind middle-aged'. Hey, don't call me Director Liu, I'm not a few years older than you, you can call me 'A Cai' or 'Brother Fu'."

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Fu."

Hearing Xiang Kun's name, Liu Caifu greeted happily: "You are welcome, brothers, come here, while it's hot, everyone move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks."

In fact, Liu Caifu also said something similar when Xiang Kun and You Meng came over last time. But at that time they were still called "Director Liu", and he was naturally called "Mr. Xiang", and both sides kept a tacit distance and politeness. Now that the name has changed, it means that the two parties are no longer in a general entertainment or exchange of face, but a relationship of friends.

The meal at noon, in terms of taste alone, is naturally still inferior to the craftsmanship of the two "chefs" Xiang Kun and You Meng last night, and there is no adjustment by Xiang Kun to suit each person's taste, but it is better in the variety of dishes and the portion size Feet, with the characteristics of the mountains, and now it is past meal time, everyone is a little hungry, so they eat with relish.

Naturally, Xiang Kun still relied on the two pebbles that had established a "supersensory connection" to suppress the nausea in his stomach. Now he has considerable experience in how to pretend to eat a lot by eating a small amount in an environment where many people are dining together enriched.

But today is a little different from the previous multi-person dining environment, because there is still an old Xia who always pays attention to him.

Lao Xia must know how much he ate.

So not only can’t eat too little, but you also have to pay attention to your sitting posture and your body’s reaction, and you can’t show the discomfort in your stomach, or you will be asked “is it a stomachache” again after a while.

Liu Caifu was thinking about the "grand blueprint" that Xiang Kun had instilled in him. During this period of time, he had been pondering on his own, and he had already started to make some preparations. This time, he invited Xiang Kun to come over to talk about it. But at the dinner table, he didn't mention a word. He chatted with Zicheng, Zhang Qian, Tang Baona and others, all of which were to introduce the legends and stories in their village, the interesting things about going out to do business with his father in the early years, and some current affairs. topic.

So Xiang Kun simply took the initiative to ask about the previous farm, and now that land and the farm are already in Liu Caifu's hands. Then it naturally led to the big cowhide that Xiang Kun bragged to him and You Meng in this yard.

In fact, Liu Caifu has been thinking about that matter all the time, and he is also thinking about how to find an opportunity to bring it up with Xiang Kun. Now Xiang Kun took the initiative to bring up this topic. He just drank a little wine, so naturally he talked about sex all at once. Dasheng, by the way, also recounted the "grand blueprint" that Xiang Kun had drawn in this yard for other uninformed people at the table.

What Liu Caifu first told everyone was "cowhide 1.0" that Xiang Kun said at the beginning.

He doesn't have the "emotional assimilation" effect that Xiang Kun had at that time, so besides Xiang Kun, the other eight people listened to him repeat Xiang Kun's idea of ​​turning Chongyun Village into a new type of Internet combined with high-tech agriculture and breeding industry base. Looking at his beaming eyebrows and flushed face, he was a little dazed.

Among them, Zhang Qian's feeling is the most complicated. If she had heard these words before cooperating with Xiang Kun on the project, she must have felt that Xiang Kun was fooling Director Liu of Chongyun Village, or that he was trying to cheat money with bad intentions. Or it's pure bragging, it's too unreliable.

But after contacting Xiang Kun a few times, especially with the cooperation that can be considered successful now, Zhang Qian's view of him has changed a lot.

Whether it was the various unreasonable demands at the beginning of the cooperation, or the repeated behaviors that did not follow the routine during the cooperation process, Zhang Qian's normal cognition told her that this project must be in vain, and failure is doomed. Fortunately, at that time, she had already expected that kind of situation.

But the final result was that Xiang Kun not only did everything he promised, but also quickly, cost-effectively, and extremely efficient.

According to her communication with Director Lin, judging from the preliminary test results of the internal beta version, what Xiang Kun made was very stable and scalable, completely exceeding their previous expectations.

Basically, this is the foundation, even if Xiang Kun does nothing in the future, their project will not be successful.

Even if you don't talk about this formal cooperation, from the first time they met in the bar, basically every time she felt that Xiang Kun was bragging or fooling people, he did it in the end.

So this gave Zhang Qian an impression - as long as Xiang Kun's promises or plans were made, they were not just talking casually or simply bragging, but all of them were possible to realize.

So the "grand blueprint" drawn by Xiang Kun and Director Liu, the idea of ​​building Chongyun Village into a new type of Internet agriculture and breeding base, is it serious?

Before coming to Chongyun Village, because she was in the same car, Xiang Kun called You Meng, changed the itinerary, and contacted Director Liu. She knew the whole process. So in her opinion, Xiang Kun brought them to Chongyun Village to change his mind temporarily.

b.

But thinking about it now, maybe Xiang Kun didn't just bring them to Director Liu's house as guests?

While Zhang Qian was guessing about Xiang Kun's real purpose, Liu Caifu was already talking about his specific plan based on Xiang Kun's plan and his analysis of its feasibility, combined with local policies and possible future policy directions of the country , to put forward his own views and plans.

Liu Caifu talked for more than forty minutes, but Xiang Kun didn't interrupt him, and the others were eating and listening, as if they were listening to "farming YY".

Only Zhang Qian, listening to it, recalled Xiang Kun's previous actions, such as online video operations, restaurants specializing in rabbit meat, and talk show gimmicks. She felt more and more that she had guessed Xiang Kun's thoughts. But I also feel that if this is the case, it is a bit too childish and it is unlikely to succeed.

But the word "impossible" seems to always have some special reactions in Xiang Kun's case.

After Liu Caifu finished speaking, Xiang Kun said with a smile to him: "At the beginning I wanted to be simple in many places, and I was a little overexaggerated. Later, in retrospect, there were problems with many details. Brother Fu's ideas were very inspiring to me, so I have a new plan, and everyone is here and can help with the details."

When Liu Caifu was talking about those related things before, Xiang Kun had been observing him silently. It was certain that Liu Caifu was still affected by "emotional assimilation". It's just that that kind of influence is different from the original real-time influence. It has become another form, which makes him have an inexplicable trust in Xiang Kun's ability.

When this kind of trust is embedded in a specific matter by Liu Caifu, it will give him an obsession that "only Xiang Kun can do this."

Xiang Kun preliminarily speculates that the continuous effect of this "emotional assimilation" should be because the direction of "emotional assimilation" is just the same as the subjective will and hope of the affected person, so the affected person's own consciousness will have a negative impact on this effect. This effect is continuously strengthened.

It's as if Liu Caifu is a person who stands still but wants to run, but he can't tell which direction to run for a while.

So Xiang Kun pushed him hard to the north, and after he was pushed so hard that he started to run involuntarily, he simply ran along the north side, running faster and further, farther and farther.

At the same time, You Meng, who was pushed northward by Xiang Kun, had no intention of running, so after the push passed, he scratched his head, stood still, or walked back to his original position , and even ran in other directions. Therefore, the influence of Xiang Kun's thrust slowly disappeared after that force.

...

When Xiang Kun took a group of friends to Chongyun Village as a guest, Liu Feibao personally drove his A8L and drove Qi Haoguo to Jianzhou City.

Originally, according to the plan, Qi Haoguo should stay in Tongshi Town for about 3-5 days to determine whether to cooperate with Liu Feibao in this business and the specific cooperation model.

But after the unexpected "rear-end collision incident" yesterday afternoon, Qi Haoguo suddenly lost interest in business. After setting a general direction, he finalized the cooperation and sold a lot of benefits, and then let Liu Feibao take the lead. He went to find a master who is good at woodcarving, and he wanted to customize a woodcarving.

However, after seeing the woodcarving master and chatting for more than an hour, the master still couldn't understand the image that Qi Haoguo wanted him to carve, but Qi Haoguo's requirements were too many and detailed, and he couldn't let him play freely.

So the master woodcarver introduced him to a student who had previously studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, and now he has set up a studio to customize hand-made figures and dolls for people.

Through this student, I can create an image of the thing to be done on the computer, and see if I want to use a 3D printer to make a figure directly, or make woodcarving for the master based on the image.

Qi Haoguo sat next to the student, watched him on the computer, and according to his own description, he made a monster image with eight arms bit by bit, and nodded with some satisfaction.

Yesterday afternoon, after being startled by the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster that appeared out of nowhere, Qi Haoguo had an epiphany like a new life, and his views on himself, life, money, and many things have changed.

He likes his own changes, and he kind of misses that feeling at that time, and even wants to relive that feeling from time to time, so he wants to make the image of that monster into a wood carving and keep it by his side.

It wasn't that he suddenly had adoration or belief in the monster, but he hoped that he would not forget the fear of his own changes when the monster appeared, the cowardly and real feeling of looking directly at his heart.

As for why it was a wood carving, he didn't think about it.

I just subconsciously feel that wood carving is the most suitable way to establish its image, more suitable than paintings, stone carvings, statues, and pottery.

When describing the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster, Qi Haoguo did not avoid Liu Feibao the whole time. He didn't care about being heard. Anyway, no one would think that the monster he was describing was actually seen in reality.

That afternoon, Qi Haoguo booked a plane back to the provincial capital and left directly from Jianzhou City.

After sending Qi Haoguo away, Liu Feibao naturally had to drive back to Tongshi Town.

After driving for a day, Liu Feibao, who was very tired, didn't even bother to eat dinner when he got home. He wanted to lie down and take a nap first, but just after he lay down, he was woken up by the phone.
