When the magic flower blooms

What happened? !

He Tiansi, who was drowsily asleep, instinctively covered Ming Ruoxing's head with a thin quilt as a cover, while rubbing his eyes and climbing onto the window sill, trying to look outside.

About 50 meters away is the large open space where the tourist bus stopped last night, and it is already full of people.

In addition to the uncles and aunts of Jinyu Village, there were more than a dozen strange elderly people standing there in a large group, all looking at the same direction intently.

...Is this doing morning exercises?

He Tiansi turned his head and looked at Ming Ruoxing, who had half of his head poking out from under the quilt, said softly, "It's okay, you can continue to sleep", then hurriedly dressed and walked out.

If you don't see it, you don't know, it turns out that the so-called "large-scale health and longevity exercises" teaching is going on outdoors.The sports experts hired by the company with a lot of money stood on the high platform on the right side of the tea garden and taught on the spot. Everyone followed suit and moved their hands clumsily.There are also staff on the side who are recording.

Of course, this isn't just an ordinary workout.

The sports experts wore a full set of "Longevity Tianxiang" sports series health care products all over their bodies.From "infrared knee pads" to "bamboo charcoal deodorant socks", as well as "nano health care head massage headband" and "bamboo charcoal underwear"... it can be described as everything.

Every time he taught a new movement, he would brag about the extraordinary efficacy of these health products, and encourage everyone to find him directly to buy them at a discount after morning exercises.

He Tiansi didn't know what the old people were thinking, but he finally figured it out: who is this expert? He is obviously a salesman of this company.

After the inexplicable morning exercise, it was finally time for dinner.Breakfast is a buffet, so-so and passable.Steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame cakes, soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks are definitely the main theme, and of course the "Longevity Tianxiang" series of foods are also indispensable.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of eating, He Tiansi quickly communicated with his uncles and aunts.So far, the one who spent the most was an aunt, who bought a box of garlic broad beans for 600 yuan; No. 2 was He Tiansi himself, who bought a fish for 300 yuan.

To his surprise, when it comes to this trip, most of the old people's attitudes have begun to change significantly.

"Why are the living conditions so poor!"

"The mosquitoes were huge last night!"

"What kind of scenic spot is that, bullying us country folks who haven't seen the world?"

"I can't make calls on the phone, and I can't go online. I can only use the public phone to report my family's safety. What do you call this!"

Everyone was chattering, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.Worried that it would continue to simmer and cause conflicts that would be detrimental to these elderly people, He Tiansi hurriedly signaled everyone to be safe and not to be impatient.

"Don't be in a hurry, everyone, don't confront the people here. When you make a call, first explain the situation and where we live to the family. As for the negotiation, I will do it."

Although he boasted so much about his ambition, to be honest, He Tiansi didn't have a plan in his heart.

After eating, he groped back to the room with a few steaming steamed buns, and saw that Ming Ruoxing was still sleeping on the bed.

He Tiansi didn't make a sound, walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, took out a steamed stuffed bun, broke it in half, and put it next to Ming Ruoxing's nose.

"Meat buns... Delicious meat buns..."

Ming Ruoxing's nostrils fluttered twice, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and at the same time, a monotonous sound came out of his throat.

"Get out~~~~~~"

"Not at all."

He Tiansi chuckled, stuffed half of the torn bun into his mouth and began to chew.

After another five seconds like this, Ming Ruoxing suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's so noisy...can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"I'd like to, but it's about to change outside."

When Ming Ruoxing woke up a little bit, He Tiansi briefly recounted all the things that happened in the morning, and then directly threw out the central idea.

"Xiao Ming, I remember you said that capable demihumans can influence ordinary people. Can you do me a favor?"

"No."

Ming Ruoxing immediately understood what he meant, and refused in words: "The law of sub-humans strictly prohibits using abilities on ordinary people, that is a crime!"

"Is it so serious?" He Tiansi couldn't understand, "But I just want to ask you, can those liars let us go, isn't that okay?"

"No. It is also illegal to use illegal means to achieve reasonable demands. And ordinary people must not be aware of the existence of demihumans. I should have told you this common sense."

"Tell me, but that's different!" He Tiansi was neither convinced nor gave up: "What if ordinary people threaten your life? Just bear it?"

"This problem is very complicated." Ming Ruoxing had a headache again, "In short, things haven't reached that point yet, so don't make plans on me, do you hear me?"

"I heard it. You eat slowly, I will find another way to go."

He Tiansi curled his lips, put down the buns, turned around and went out.

-

At 08:30 in the morning, members of the elderly tour group after breakfast gathered in the auditorium where they watched the cultural performance last night.

In the next three hours until noon, they will be bombarded with brainwashing marketing from the "Longevity Tianxiang" fraud group together with several other elderly people who have also been fooled.

Taking advantage of the few minutes before the start, He Tiansi called the uncle and aunt of Jinyu Village to his side for a short meeting.Summed up the four no principles of "don't buy things, don't be fooled, don't get angry, and don't conflict".

In addition, the video recording function of the mobile phone should also be fully utilized to preserve evidence.Once the sign is wrong, you can use the landline to call the police at noon.

They chattered about planning, and the marketing meeting officially began.

Counting it, this was He Tiansi's first time participating in this kind of brainwashing meeting. Earlier, he was still wondering how capable this kind of deception was, but he soon understood.

The marketing lecturers on the stage are eloquent, speciously "quoting classics", fabricating scientific reports and exaggerated statistics that cannot stand scrutiny.It's like a sledgehammer smashing open the shell of doubts in the audience.Immediately afterwards, the salespersons in the audience launched a close-to-family offensive, patiently instilling all kinds of sweet words through the gaps in the shell.

But that alone doesn't seem to be enough.He Tiansi discovered that they seemed to have another trump card.

"I want to buy a set!"

"I want this first!"

……

After the free consultation session started, many strangers immediately flocked to the product display area and started snapping up purchases.

"Is this always the case in previous meetings?" He Tiansi asked the uncle sitting beside him in a low voice.

"It's much more lively than this!"

"And do you know these shoppers?"

"I haven't seen them before, are they from other villages?"

"..."

Could it be that they are babysitters? Isn't this too unreasonable?

He Tiansi was muttering, when he suddenly noticed a strange old lady walking beside an old aunt in his village from the corner of his eye.

"Little sister."

The old lady called the old aunt like this, "This thing is really good, I can't buy a lot by myself. See if you want it, I will share it with you, and buy a box together, okay?"

After listening to the brainwashing marketing for a long time, the old aunt began to waver in her heart.Seeing that someone took the initiative to share the cost, he almost opened his mouth to agree.

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Tiansi hurriedly ran over and hugged the old lady's shoulder affectionately, while lowering his voice and pretending to be familiar.

"Sister, I brought this aunt, you can find someone else!"

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, but soon she regarded the handsome young man He Tiansi as "one of her own", and very simply found an excuse and walked away.

"Sure enough, it's really a babysitter."

He Tiansi shrugged his shoulders towards several onlookers.

Uncles and aunts returned warm applause.

After that, He Tiansi fought more and more bravely, and took the initiative to block a few orders for the villagers.Of course those salesmen knew that he was deliberately obstructing it, but they didn't want to get angry, so they could only squeeze out a little smirk twitching at the corners of their mouths.

He Tiansi was not embarrassed at all, and directly responded with a really bright and bright smile.

It was noon, and although the end of the meeting was delayed again and again, the lunch had to be held as scheduled under the constant complaints.

Perhaps because of the disappointing sales performance in the morning, the expressions of the salesmen are no longer as vivid and flexible as they were a few hours ago.

As for He Tiansi, his troubles just started at noon.

There was an hour's lunch break after lunch, and after He Tiansi sent the old people back to their rooms, he took a box of packed meals and prepared to go back to the house to feed Ming Ruoxing.

On the way, he was stopped by Director Xue and two salesmen he didn't know.

"Mr. He, we have something to say to you."

"It's done."

Looking at this posture, it is impossible not to follow.He Tiansi did not confront them head-on, and nodded with a smile.

So the four found an empty room under the stairs, went in and closed the door.

"Smoke?" Xue directed He Tiansi to pass one.

"No, thanks." He Tiansi shook his head, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm going to feed the cat."

Director Xue lit a cigarette for himself, held it in his hand, and gestured to a young salesman beside him: "You tell me."

The salesman cleared his throat.

"Mr. He, we are smart people who don't speak in secret, I believe you must be very clear. 100 yuan is far from enough to spend these three days. The food and clothing wages of our hundreds of people all depend on these The consumption of the elderly is gone. If you messed up like this this morning, we will not get anything at all. If this continues, we salesmen will have to share the overspending. Look, Mr. He, in the half session this afternoon, You might as well turn a blind eye and close one eye, and let us earn back the cost. Of course, we will also give you a little thank you."

This is clearly a bribe.

He Tiansi didn't even move his eyebrows: "I have a better suggestion: we will leave here this afternoon. This will leave you with a day and a half of expenses, and the loss will be much smaller?"

The two salesmen exchanged glances with Director Xue, and adjusted their standing posture at the same time.You could see where the conversation was starting to make them nervous.

"There is no bus today." Director Xue shook his head, "The bus will only come to pick you up tomorrow evening according to the time agreed in the contract. I believe there should be another arrangement for the bus today."

"it does not matter."

He Tiansi had already thought of a countermeasure, "When the next tour group arrives, I will persuade the driver to pick us up and send it to the city. You don't need to worry about the future."

"..."

Director Xue fell into a brief silence.After about four or five seconds, he gave an answer that surprised even He Tiansi.

"If you are so persistent, then there is no point in us forcing. But I need to report to my superior first to avoid misunderstanding. Please give me some time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"how long will it takes?"

"To be honest, it won't be too short. Even a company like ours has a very troublesome reporting system. Once there is news, I will inform you as soon as possible. Before the end of the meeting this afternoon at the latest, is this okay?"

"..."

The other party has already talked about this point, and there is no point in continuing to argue.He Tiansi nodded.

"It's a word."

Director Xue hurried away with two of his men.He Tiansi was left to bow his head and ponder for a moment, then remembered that he was still holding a lunch box in his hand.

He hurried back to his room, knocked on the door, and the locked door opened after a while.Ming Ruoxing looked at him dissatisfied.

"Do you still remember me as a living creature?"

"Remember, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He Tiansi apologized while donating the food box, and then told Ming Ruoxing what happened just now while Ming Ruoxing was eating.

"Do you really believe what Director Xue said?" Ming Ruoxing raised his head after eating a prawn that He Tiansi peeled with his own hands.

"I don't know." He Tiansi smiled and shook his head, "So let's wait and see."
