Chapter 13 [It's You]

Young people of Chen Yan's age usually don't care much about jade and other things. He only remembers that there is an antique building area two streets away near the East University City, which is a traditional folk tourism area planned by the government.

There is an antique street there, and it seems that there are several jade shops - when he was in college before, he occasionally went to that place with his classmates on holidays.

He called an online car-hailing service and went to the antique street. Sitting in the car on the way, Chen Yan was still thinking in his heart, should he consider buying a car?

The place to live is solved, living in such a big mansion. It is comfortable, but the location of that place is actually a bit remote, and the rich people in the community go in and out with private cars.

Money is a person's courage. There is a seven-digit deposit in the card and eight-digit gold in the safe of the port city. Chen Yan is eager to move.

However... when the online car-hailing service was about to reach the two streets outside the folk tourism area, it was stuck on the road... After all, it is almost the end of the year, and there are many tourists.

Chen Yan immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying a car.

For example, now, if you encounter a traffic jam, you will be stuck on the road.

If you drive yourself, you will inevitably get anxious.

If you take a car, just sit in the back seat and play with your phone.

Moreover, you don’t have to worry about parking every time you arrive at a place.

Well, actually Chen Yan is quite lazy.

·

The tourist area is bustling with people.

It is almost the end of the year, and there are many tourists. In addition, in two days, it will be the Western Christmas and the New Year’s Day. Almost all businesses are launching various holiday promotions and discounts.

And in the nearby university town, there are also many students who have nothing to do before the winter vacation and like to hang out here.

It was afternoon at this moment. Chen Yan followed the flow of people into the tourist area and first bought a string of candied haws at random - he liked to eat sour and sweet things since he was a child.

Unfortunately, he spit it out after taking a bite.

The black-hearted merchants in the scenic area, the hawthorns in the candied haws are all inferior, sour and astringent.

However, the lively atmosphere at the end of the year still makes the whole street look full of fireworks, with all kinds of slogans and signs of merchants, and the noise of tourists...

For a moment, Chen Yan almost forgot what he was doing.

Passing by a popular milk tea shop that he seemed to have seen on the Internet, there was a long line at the door.

As soon as Chen Yan walked over, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Brother! Brother!"

Chen Yan stopped and turned his head to see a tall and thin boy waving at him, and then ran out of the queue in two or three steps.

"Brother!" The boy smiled and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder: "It's you! I thought I saw the wrong person just now."

"Hey! Mr. Zhao!" Chen Yan smiled and greeted.

"What's the general or not, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao!" The boy nodded and bowed.

This Xiao Zhao is an alumnus who is one year younger than Chen Yan. When they were in school, they were quite familiar with each other.

"Brother, why are you here? Aren't you going to work today?" Xiao Zhao was very enthusiastic.

Chen Yan shook his head and didn't want to explain in detail that he left before the internship period was over. He vaguely said: "I'm resting today." Then he asked back: "What about you? No classes?"

Xiao Zhao smiled. He was very thin and had no flesh on his face. He looked a little wretched when he smiled: "No classes, I came here to work."

As he said that, he pointed to the milk tea shop behind him.

Chen Yan smiled: "Come here to line up for work?"

"Well, I gathered a dozen classmates and brought them together. Each person is fifty yuan."

Xiao Zhao didn't hide it, and Chen Yan nodded familiarly.

Many Internet celebrity stores are actually hyped up by false fire. They pay people to pretend to line up, creating a false impression of "full of customers, popularity, and great popularity", and then hype it up.

And nearby is the university town, and the students on campus are all low-cost labor, so it's cheap to recruit people.

Chen Yan had done this kind of work many times before when he was in school to earn some pocket money - with Xiao Zhao in front of him.

The difference is that Chen Yan only came to earn some pocket money occasionally, while Xiao Zhao was the leader of a small group of odd jobs in the school.

Xiao Zhao is a smart man. Although he looks a little wretched, he is not a bad person and has a good heart. The most important thing is that he knows how to do things - he can always find some temporary jobs that others can't find.

He is the leader and never cheats his classmates. Even if he takes a cut, he takes less than others, which makes many students willing to follow him.

In fact, Chen Yan was also curious at the beginning, why Xiao Zhao was so good at pulling jobs and leading people.

Later, when the two became familiar with each other, they found out that Xiao Zhao's parents were the leaders of a group in Hengdian.

No wonder, family background.

When he was in school, Xiao Zhao had already expanded his business to a level that many part-time job groups in the school could not reach.

The business scope ranges from queuing for shops to handing out flyers in communities.

He even inherited his family's knowledge and led his classmates to expand his business into the entertainment industry.

During a previous summer vacation, he took dozens of classmates to Hengdian. With the help of his parents' connections, he led his classmates to work as extras in Hengdian for more than 20 days, playing government troops in the morning, bandits in the afternoon, Japanese devils during the day, and eunuchs at night.

Two of the female classmates got two lines in a play because of their fair looks and good temperament.

One line "Master, this is not good..."

One sentence "Master, no!"

Chen Yan didn't dare to think about how chaotic the plot of that play would be!

In short, Xiao Zhao's business scope is varied, and he can always help his classmates get various profitable orders, and he can also negotiate the best price, so he got a nickname: Mr. Zhao.

It stands to reason that Xiao Zhao has such a skill, so he is naturally very popular in school, and there are usually a group of younger students who follow him and flatter him.

But he has always been very respectful to Chen Yan, and he always calls him "brother".

The two met before doing odd jobs, and their relationship was average, not close. But one time, everyone went to Jiangbei to work as a group.

On the way back, in order to save money, they did not take a car, but chose to take a ferry across the river.

When the ferry was about to dock, Xiao Zhao lay on the side of the boat to look at the scenery. I don't know how he was squeezed, and he fell into the river with a somersault.

He himself is a landlubber, and after falling into the water, he could only thrash around. Although the people on the boat were shouting, no one dared to jump in to save him.

At that time, Chen Yan dived directly into the water, lifted Xiao Zhao out of the water in a few seconds, and then almost grabbed his hair and pulled him to the shore.

Most of the children who grew up in the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River are good at swimming.

After this incident, Xiao Zhao respected Chen Yan and never called Chen Yan by his full name again. He always called him "brother".

Later, the relationship between the two gradually improved.

Xiao Zhao made friends with Chen Yan because of the life-saving grace.

And Chen Yan valued him because he knew how to be grateful.

The old lady taught Chen Yan since he was a child: A person who knows how to be grateful can't be bad.

·

Xiao Zhao and Chen Yan exchanged a few words, then pulled over a student who had just "bought" milk tea in the milk tea shop, took the cup of milk tea from the other person and stuffed it into Chen Yan's hand.

"Brother, let me treat you to this. It tastes okay. I've had several cups in the past two days."

Chen Yan doesn't like milk tea, but since it was given by Xiao Zhao, he took it with a smile: "Let's have dinner together on the weekend."

"Okay! But not this week. I got a job on the weekend to take people to the airport to pick up a celebrity as a fake fan."

Well, Mr. Zhao does have a lot of business.

Chen Yan and Xiao Zhao chatted on the side of the road for a few minutes. Before saying goodbye, he opened his eyes and scanned Xiao Zhao's fortune with the air-viewing technique.

Seeing that Xiao Zhao had good luck recently, and not seeing any bad luck, he left with peace of mind.

·

After saying goodbye to Xiao Zhao, Chen Yan casually strolled a few hundred meters and entered the antique street.

After entering and visiting a few shops, Chen Yan was actually a little disappointed.

What real things can there be in the antique street in the scenic area?

And most of the jade shops sell handicrafts.

Let alone genuine high-quality materials, more than 80% of the so-called ordinary jade materials are fake.

Chen Yan used the skills learned in the identification chapter to casually scan and found that many of the jades on the counter were actually quartzite, a common material used to make fake jade.

Some genuine jade materials are very expensive. Even the most ordinary low-grade white jade, a jade plaque the size of a matchbox, starts at a price of at least several thousand.

This business is like this.

Although Chen Yan knew that he was being ripped off, he still had no choice but to buy two jade plaques, one white jade and one green jade.

He walked out of the jade shop with the money in his pocket and walked back. When he passed by the milk tea shop over there, he suddenly saw a group of people gathered there, and someone was still loudly scolding something.

Chen Yan's heart moved, and he saw that among the people gathered, there were a few who looked like students from his school, and they should all be Xiao Zhao's agents.

Chen Yan walked over quickly, parted the crowd, and saw Xiao Zhao sitting on the ground, covering his forehead with his hands.

"What's going on?"

Chen Yan immediately went over and squatted, reaching out to pull Xiao Zhao's hand.

"It shouldn't be a big deal..." Xiao Zhao waved his hand, and after releasing his palm, Chen Yan saw a small crack on the skin at the corner of this guy's eye, and a little blood flowed out.

The injury was not serious, but Chen Yan frowned and said, "Who hit him?"

"No, I didn't get hit." Xiao Zhao shook his head helplessly.

Chen Yan became suspicious in his heart-just a moment ago, when he and Xiao Zhao parted, he specially opened his eyes and used the Qi-observing technique to look at him. He should be doing well recently without any illness or disaster.

At this moment, Chen Yan secretly used the Qi-observing technique to look at Xiao Zhao again, but he couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh".

At this moment, under the eyes of the sky, there was a faint black air on Xiao Zhao's forehead.

However, probably because of the blood calamity, the black air was rapidly dissipating. After just a few breaths, the black air had become invisible and completely disappeared.

Chen Yan was stunned: According to the "Qiyun Zhoushu", a person's luck generally won't change suddenly for no reason.

Unless you suddenly do something unscrupulous and harmful, there is a small probability that a person's luck will change suddenly.

But in just a dozen minutes, Xiao Zhao couldn't have run out to bully men and women, or dig up someone's ancestral grave, right?

Or... did he touch something evil just now?

Chen Yan's face became serious.

"Just now I was standing well, and suddenly something flew down from the upstairs window and hit me."

Xiao Zhao had already climbed up from the ground: "It should be okay, I was sitting on the ground just now, because the moment I was hit, my eyes went black, I thought I was blinded, and I was scared to the point of my legs going limp."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhao touched the wound at the corner of his eye, grimacing in pain and hissing.

The students who followed Xiao Zhao pointed at the window upstairs and scolded loudly.

It should be the second floor of a restaurant along the street.

The "murder weapon" that hit Xiao Zhao was also found: a broken mobile phone that had fallen to the ground and was broken into pieces.

At this moment, a figure ran down the steps along the street of the restaurant quickly.

·

A thin little girl, with a hurried look, anxious and ashamed on her face.

She ran over quickly, and the girl's harmless little face was full of annoyance and tension. Before she could stand still, she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Before the girl finished speaking, she saw Chen Yan standing next to Xiao Zhao. Suddenly, her mouth froze and her face showed a surprised expression - in addition to surprise, it seemed that there was also a hint of fear.

Chen Yan looked at the other person carefully, then smiled: "Oh, it's you."

Hearing this, the girl's first reaction was to raise her hands and cover her nose.
