Time is the most ruthless, and it never stops because of human emotions, so Xie Zhengyan cried bitterly, and after being tortured by stomach pain and vomiting for most of the night, he had to grit his teeth to get on with the day.

On Saturday morning, he went to the sales office of the courier company. After explaining the situation, the person in charge first asked him to produce evidence to prove that the watch was indeed in the courier at that time.Xie Zhengyan asked the courier who received the package to testify, but after calling, the other party said that he had been in contact with too many customers and had long forgotten about it, and the matter fell into a deadlock.

He left the courier company in frustration, and wanted to go to Citizen's specialty store to check the price of that watch, remembering that there was one in CapitaLand in Hongkou, so he walked there.I was very nervous along the way. I usually feel that those luxury stores will release harmful radiation to him. Once he gets close, he will be infinitely depressed. The employees in the store have also trained their eyes of wealth and wealth. Stretching out two sticks to repel people, a cold and ruthless "Welcome" is more like full irony, the subtext is actually "Be smart, this is not the place you should come to."

Fortunately, luck improved a little today, so he found the watch in the window outside the store, so he didn't have to go into the store to find bad luck.But this sliver of good luck seemed to exist exclusively for him. Seeing the price tag under the watch stand, the blood vessels on his forehead were so painful that they almost burst.

8630 yuan, unless you start eating wind and dew from today, you may not be able to save this amount for half a year. Although Liao Shuying has a deposit that he pays regularly every month, but she just turned her face last night and made a big fuss. She will give him the money, and even if she doesn't quarrel, she will definitely investigate the use of the money. If she finds out that she is buying such a luxury watch, she will only give him a scolding.

Ask the second uncle to borrow it?He has to provide for A Fen's mother and son and pay for the nanny fee for his grandma, so I believe he won't have any extra money.

Looking for classmates and friends?Searching through the alumni records in my mind, I couldn't find anyone who could talk about borrowing.

He is such a failure, alone and helpless, the so-called "timely rain" is only familiar in books, but in reality, he has never had a relationship with him.

He stared blankly in front of the window and sighed, wishing he could copy the watch on the opposite side of the glass with his eyes, and then get it with the magical skill of fetching things from a distance. A clerk looked around at the door once, and he might have regarded him as an envious and poor man, After a few glances, he ignored it.After a while, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder from the side, he was startled, and turned his head to see Li Qing from Ruiheng Jewelry Design Department.

"Xiao Xie, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I... just passed by here for a walk."

Xie Zhengyan tried his best to socialize, but his face was already blue and red. Afraid of Li Qing's scrutiny, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, are you here to go shopping too?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "I don't have such a good fortune. I work overtime every day, and I don't have free time on weekends. No, I just finished meeting with the client upstairs with Director Rong, and I have to go back to the company soon."

Xie Zhengyan heard that he was traveling with Rong Chuan, so he looked around subconsciously, and saw a silver-gray Lexus parked on the side of the road ten meters away. It was Rong Chuan's car. I don't know if the owner of the car is there.

The tension suddenly increased, he squeezed his fingers quietly, forced a smile and asked Li Qing, "Where is Director Rong?"

Li Qing's actions made him terrified, and he raised his finger to point at the Lexus: "He got off 10 minutes earlier than me, and he's in the car over there, do you want to go over and say hello to him?"

Xie Zhengyan broke out in a cold sweat. Rong Chuan had arrived in the car 10 minutes ago, which meant that he might have already found himself standing in front of the window in a daze.If a child stays outside the pastry shop for a long time, he will be ridiculed for his greedy mouth. If an adult stands by the door of a luxury store and stares at the products in the window, he will undoubtedly be ridiculed as a vulgar money worshiper.

He thought he had already left too many bad impressions on Rong Chuan, and he didn't want to add this unwarranted defect even if he killed him, and he didn't dare to run up to him at this moment to make a fool of himself. Qing, quickly evacuate in two steps in three steps, wait for confirmation to get out of their sight, and then run away to a safe area to rest and recover.

All day long, he ran around like a ghost hitting a wall, until the evening when he got nothing, he fell down discouraged when he returned home, unable to stop the sea of ​​sorrow, and even hugged Fuzi and acted like a baby, letting him give him advice.Poor Fuzi is very clever, and he can't cross-race to relieve his master's worries. He looked at him eagerly, and saw that he had two wells of tears.

"Today is Saturday, aren't you going to go out to have a good time and relax?"

It's okay if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, he raised Xie Zhengyan's worries and sighed: "It costs money to go out and have fun. I'm almost so poor that I burn lice. Where can I have spare money to have fun."

Qian Fan echoed with a smile: "That's right, in today's society, you have to pay for standing and sitting. There are too few leisure and entertainment suitable for us poor people."

Listening to his tone, he seemed to have forgotten that he had revealed himself to Xie Zhengyan not long ago. Qian Fan claimed that the poor had no certificate to test, but Xi Baichuan crying about being poor was absolutely unbelievable, so he was ridiculed on the spot.

"Bai Chuan, don't tease Xiao Transparent anymore, please? Who doesn't know that you are a well-known rich man, and the root hair is thicker than our thighs."

Qian Fan let out a "hiss" in surprise: "It seems that I have never said that I am a rich person at any time and place."

"Hehe, you didn't say that, but there are a lot of certificates. The birthday presents you gave peafowl in the past were all extremely expensive, and the pictures are still posted on his Weibo."

"Oh, that one."

Qian Fan smiled wryly and said "Hi": "Those are second-hand goods I bought from a friend in the pawn business, and the price is less than [-]% of the genuine ones."

"Eh? Really or not?"

"Don't talk like Sakura, okay? Of course it's true. I don't want to lose my reputation in front of my friends, but I can't afford authentic luxury goods, so I have to start with these side doors, but even these second-hand goods make me tighten my belt. I bought it, it’s not human to lie to you.”

The reason seems to be tenable, but Xie Zhengyan still wondered: "Are you making such a fuss? Courtesy is less important among friends, and it is enough to send an ordinary gift to express your heart. Why do you have to do something beyond your ability?"

"Hey~ men, they are more or less face-saving, and they like to show off their strength by holding back their legs."

Xie Zhengyan giggled and bowed his head in silence.

Qian Fan was suspicious: "How can I hear you laughing happily? After knowing that Xi Baichuan is a real poor man, you haven't been disappointed? Most people want to make a rich friend, right?"

Xie Zhengyan retorted: "Don't generalize, I'm not that kind of snob, and besides, I never thought of taking advantage of my friend, what does it matter to me if he is rich?"

"Oh? Then after you know the truth, will you think that I am vain and look down on me?"

"No, who doesn't have a bit of vanity, especially for people like us who are materially poor, the most difficult thing to get rid of is vanity. I can fully understand your feelings, but I don't think there is any need to be strong in the future. Money is within our means. Okay, otherwise it will be too easy to suffer."

Xie Zhengyan didn't honestly explain the reason for his happiness. The fundamental reason why he was able to meet Qian Fan in the past was that the two were of the same class, just like fish living in the same waters, you can imagine each other just by looking at yourself.If Qian Fan was a rich man whose status was higher than his, he would be restrained by his inferiority complex, carefully hide his shame, and never dare to expose his ugliness, then the relationship between the two parties would gradually become estranged as a result, and would no longer be as close as before.Now that I know that he is still a poor man, these worries can be wiped out. I am glad that my comrades who are good like me during the revolution have successfully passed the party and organization test.

After hearing what he said, Qian Fan smiled and praised him for being cute, and his speech won the hearts of the people, and Xie Zhengyan's ears burned when he said it, so he kept telling him to stop.But Qian Fan still didn't want to shut up, so he changed the topic and continued chatting, claiming that he made a fool of himself today.

"I have a female colleague who looks very much like Lin Qingxia when she was young. She has a figure and temperament. Usually, we male colleagues are cautious around her, and no one wants to lose the chain. I went to the street at noon today and passed by a newly opened Japanese restaurant. Seeing that the seafood models in their window are very attractive, I was hungry at the time, so I stopped and took a few more glances.”

"If you want to eat, you can go in and order food. When you are hungry, you still do it. What a torture."

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it, I can only look at it and enjoy it."

"Huh? That's too pitiful, how expensive? I treat you to eat."

"The per capita minimum consumption is more than 1000."

"...It's quite expensive. I'll treat it later when I save money."

"Don't interrupt, let's get to the point. At that time, I was crawling on the window and staring at the seafood model inside, drooling, when suddenly someone came up to greet me."

"Who?"

"It's the colleague I mentioned earlier, Grandma Qingxia from Girls' Generation."

There is no need to go into this matter carefully, it is embarrassing, Xie Zhengyan clapped his hands in surprise, repeatedly saying what a coincidence.

"Are we meeting the same Shuaishen today? My experience is exactly the same as yours."

As soon as his attention was diverted, he forgot to hide his embarrassment, and narrated clearly the process of meeting Rong Chuan outside the Citizen store during the day. Qian Fan found his friend in distress and was in a good mood. Waiting for plums to quench your thirst, why are you standing in a daze at the door of the watch shop? Do you want to buy that brand of watch?"

"You think highly of me. I don't dare to expect such an expensive watch in five years."

Now that his mind has been affected, he simply told the whole story about Zhihu asking for the gift and losing the watch during the express delivery.

Before he finished speaking, Qian Fan said firmly: "This trouble is nothing, just come to me. Citizen is not a rare rare item. My friend has a lot of famous watches in the pawn shop. You can report the model number to me. Let him find you a [-]% new one, and you resend it to Mr. Zhihu, so he won’t be able to see it.”

Xie Zhengyan was dubious, but Qian Fan seemed not to allow him to hesitate, repeatedly urging him to name the model of the watch, turned around and went to contact a friend, and after a while, he replied confidently that the matter was done.

"My friend said that there happened to be an expired pawn ticket in his store. The customer hadn't worn it when he brought it to pawn. I negotiated the price with him and he agreed to sell it to you for 1500. Is this price acceptable? I'll help if it's too expensive. You kill it."

A watch with a regular price of 8630 yuan can be bought for 1500 yuan. Xie Zhengyan didn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world. The cheapness has been fooled, and now it is inevitable that it will be a shadow of a snake.He can trust Qian Fan, but his friend in the pawn shop doesn't know the details, if Liu Bei borrows Jingzhou and never returns, wouldn't Qian Fan be in trouble?

Qian Fan seemed impatient to wait for him to make a decision, and assured him: "You don't need to pay the money first. After the things are sent to Mr. Zhihu, he inspected them and said that there is no problem before we talk about paying. It's only 8 o'clock now, so there is still time." Call the courier, you give me Zhihu Jun's address, I will let him send it first, and report the tracking number to you later."

Xie Zhengyan couldn't keep up with his vigorous and resolute courage, and could only be led by the nose when he was in a mess.Qian Fan got the address, typed it for a few minutes, picked up the phone again, and decided to settle a lawsuit like a godly parental officer, not letting go of the attached serial cases.

"Zhihu Jun got it done, let's talk about the courier company, did you overweight when you sent it?"

Knowing that he was overweight, he asked the courier for a paid invoice. He seemed to have a little more chance of winning, and asked Xie Zhengyan to find the invoice to analyze the above data, according to the freight amount on the invoice and the courier company's charging standard , He calculated that Xie Zhengyan sent a total of 3.3 kilograms of goods at that time.

"You take the courier bill and the invoice, and I will contact you tomorrow with a helper, and go to the store with you to claim compensation. It may be difficult to pay the full amount, but we must not let them send it away with only a few hundred yuan. You, at least get back the money you paid for the new watch."
