The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

On weekends, Han Shixiu got up early in the morning and went to the street to distribute leaflets.

—Because he has no money.

This month, Han Shixiu spent a lot of money. The one time he wanted to introduce his juniors to Zhou Moqun, he spent more than 100. Until now, Han Shixiu couldn’t figure out why the juniors chose a store with such a good environment.

Later, I had to practice cooking and cooking, etc., and bought chicken wings and so on, and spent another [-] in the supermarket.

Han Shixiu's monthly doctoral student subsidy is not a few hundred in total.

But he still needs to apply for a patent, and applying for a patent requires money.

The helpless Han Shixiu finally decided to find some work to do.

He searched and searched on the school's forum, and finally got in touch with this job—distributing leaflets on the street, one hundred a day.

Han Shixiu ran over to fetch the leaflets at noon on Friday, and woke up early on Saturday to start work.

Han Shixiu was arranged to be on the edge of a famous square on Z Street.

Holding the leaflet, he stood there blankly. When he saw a person approaching, he stretched out his hand and stared at the person's face, hoping that the person would take the leaflet away.

But the other party usually doesn't buy it, and walks quickly, or sideways to get out of the way.

Distributing leaflets is a profession that requires a little momentum.

People are coming and going in a hurry.Han Shixiu would often block the path of pedestrians and get a disgusted look.

Hong Li once told Han Shixiu to post it symbolically, and finally throw it all in the trash can.

——This kind of thing Han Shixiu can't do.

He can only send it honestly.

"Hey, what's in the ad?"

A boy who looked like a high school student stopped Han Shixiu: "Give me a copy?"

At this time, Han Shixiu withdrew his hand: "No...I can't give it to you..."

"...?"

"It's a sale message...you...you don't want to buy a house."

"You are really serious!" The student looked at Han Shixiu in surprise, "Although I don't know how to buy it, I can buy it as my parents."

"Oh..." Han Shixiu was right after thinking about it, so he finally sent out a precious leaflet.

In this way, Han Shixiu, who was already very passive, still picks and chooses the target customers, so the posting is even slower.

Han Shixiu thought sadly that his labor might not be worthy of the 100 yuan.

After standing for a whole morning, my eyes were dazzled.

——When he saw a tall man walking towards him at a fast pace, the dazed Han Shixiu still instinctively stretched out his hand to hand out leaflets.

"What are you doing here?!"

"……what?"

Han Shixiu took a closer look and found that it was Zou Sijiu.

"I..." Han Shixiu sniffed, "I'm handing out leaflets..."

"I saw it!" Zou Sijiu said in a bad tone, "I was asking why you distributed the flyers?"

"Oh..." Han Shixiu said, "I spent a lot of money this month... to eat with my junior sisters, and... to buy chicken wings... There are still a few patents to apply for, and if you don't work, you have to borrow them." Pay the application fee..."

"Don't do it." Zou Sijiu felt that his heart ached, and he frowned and said, "It's too hard."

"No way……"

"How much money can I give you?" Zou Sijiu said, "Go back."

"Although it's not much, it's still money..."

"I give you."

"……what?"

Zou Sijiu said, "If I don't give it to you, it's fine."

"I don't want..." Han Shixiu said, "How can I take yours... Besides, if I stop now, the previous morning will be in vain."

Zou Sijiu looked at Han Shixiu and said, "You don't have any skills at all."

"……Hey?"

Do you have any tips for handing out leaflets?

Zou Sijiu looked at the crowd and said, "For example, people who know how to take leaflets usually have a bunch of them in their hands. These people can't miss them."

"... Huh?" Han Shixiu thought for a second, and it really was like this.

"And don't keep silent."

Saying that, Zou Sijiu took one from Han Shixiu, and smiled at a young white-collar who was passing by the two of them: "Thank you."

The young white-collar worker looked up at Zou Sijiu, blushed, and took it.

"I think," Han Shixiu argued, "it's not the 'thank you' that played the role."

——The important thing is clearly your face.

"Really." Zou Sijiu seemed very disdainful, wanting to show that he was more than capable, took all the things in Han Shixiu's hands, and said to a man who was in a hurry: "Hello."

The man glanced at Zou Sijiu out of the corner of his eye, and waved his hand to express his disapproval.

"Five?" Zou Sijiu looked at the five raised fingers, raised his eyebrows, counted out five leaflets, and put them into the man's arms: "Take it."

"..."

"I... I understand..." Han Shixiu said, "I'll try it this afternoon..."

"Don't try it, I'm just giving you a demonstration." Zou Sijiu said, "There's a food court over there, let's go there."

"……what?"

Zou Sijiu didn't speak anymore, he strode forward to lead the way, and Han Shixiu had no choice but to follow.

When I arrived at the food court, wow... a lot of people...

Zou Sijiu shuttled around inside with a stack of small advertisements, throwing a few on the table for as many people as there were at a table.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Zou Sijiu came out empty-handed.

"These people have nothing to do at lunch, and they're going to see these ads of yours instead."

"..."

"You need to find a place where the crowd is relatively static." Zou Sijiu said: "If this kind of food court, or a bank, most of them are lined up with more than 100 people."

"..."

"Or go to the parking lot." Zou Sijiu said, "Put one in the door of every car."

"..."

"Go back." Zou Sijiu said, "Don't do this kind of job again in the future."

"Oh..." Han Shixiu lowered his head, sniffed again, and said, "Thank you...thank you..."

Zou Sijiu looked at Han Shixiu and said, "I see you are cold."

"Hmm..." In November, City B already had the chill of winter.

"Wait a minute." Zou Sijiu seemed to remember something suddenly: "Lend me money."

"……what!"

"Is there still 200 yuan left?"

Han Shixiu looked at Zou Sijiu in confusion.

"My bank card can't be used anymore." Zou Sijiu said, "I don't have time to go to the bank. Get some cash from you first, and I'll remit it to you in a few days."

"Okay... okay."

Han Shixiu touched his pocket to make sure that the bank card was on him.

If Zou Sijiu wanted to borrow money, it would be no problem.

Even if it is given to him, it is okay, at most two days to distribute leaflets.

So Han Shixiu took Zou Sijiu to the bank, withdrew the money from the ATM and handed it to him.

Zou Sijiu looked at Han Shixiu's card, copied down the card number, and told Han Shixiu that the money would be remitted within a week.

"There's no rush..." Han Shixiu said stupidly, "But I think it's better to solve the bank card problem quickly..."

Zou Sijiu laughed when he heard this.

Then, two days later, Han Shixiu received a text message from the bank saying that Zou Sijiu had transferred the money to him through the bank.

Transfer amount: 10000.00.

This frightened Han Shixiu.

Zou Sijiu, an idiot, filled in the wrong amount!

He actually transferred 1 yuan to himself!

Han Shixiu couldn't help but began to worry about Zou Sijiu.

In Han Shixiu's impression, Zou Sijiu has always been very smart and shrewd.

This time, he would make such a low-level mistake.

——How do you do business in this way? !

Han Shixiu hurriedly called Zou Sijiu, but the other party didn't answer.

Just as Han Shixiu was persistently making the fourth call, the caller ID appeared on the phone.

—It was from the post office that he had a package.

Han Shixiu felt strange, because no one had ever delivered a package to him.

Although he went down to pick up the courier quite a few times, every time he received the courier, it was something like a certificate.

What will it be this time?

Han Shixiu ran downstairs, and the other party gave him a package.

He took it up carefully, and opened it expectantly, only to find a large box with a skull painted on it.

There are also three bright red characters written below: Dangerous goods.

what……

Han Shixiu didn't dare to open this big box.

What will be inside?

Although Han Shixiu is also curious, but curiosity will kill the cat.

Inside, maybe it's a bomb, maybe it's poisonous gas, maybe it's...

The clever Han Shixiu immediately called his classmate at the police station and told him that he had received a package, which contained a box with a skull painted on it.

"Since it was delivered through the post office..." The classmate mused, "It shouldn't be a time bomb."

"Yes……"

"I'm at work," the classmate said, "You can take it to the police station."

"it is good……"

So Han Shixiu didn't eat at noon, took this big box, took a taxi, spent tens of dollars, and came to the police station in the area under the jurisdiction of his classmates.

The classmate looked at the box: "It stands to reason that it should contain chemicals..."

As he spoke, he shook the box slightly: "But there doesn't seem to be anything in it."

"what……?"

"There's no sound...and it's so light..."

Finally, after careful consideration, the classmate decided to open this thing.

Han Shixiu held his breath and looked nervously at the unpacking fingers of his classmates.

The classmate smiled and said, "Even if it's chemicals, it's fine."

With that said, he opened the box at once.

——A white scarf lay quietly inside.

It's soft and looks very comfortable and warm.

"what……"

Han Shixiu was surprised.

Someone mailed himself a scarf—

Just wondering, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Zou Sijiu.

"I was in a meeting just now." Zou Sijiu asked with a smile, "Are you looking for me?"

"Um……"

"Have you received anything?"

"Huh...?" Han Shixiu looked at the scarf and said, "This is from you? Why did you mail me a scarf?"

Zou Sijiu laughed: "I saw you were shivering from the cold that day... I went to the mall on Sunday, and I happened to see a scarf, and I thought it was very suitable for you, so I bought it."

"Huh...?" Han Shixiu was a little confused: "Buy...you bought it? Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive." Zou Sijiu said, "Uh... I didn't buy it on purpose... Didn't you give me a... The 'Fortune and Prosperity' amulet before? I happened to see this scarf, so I returned the gift."

"Oh……"

Hearing that Zou Sijiu said it was not expensive, Han Shixiu was slightly relieved.

Reciprocity, this is also normal——

"That..." Han Shixiu looked at the box and asked again: "Why did you use a box with a skull painted on it to store this scarf—"

"Huh?" Zou Sijiu seemed to have no memory at all. After recalling for a few seconds, he said, "Oh... that... I took it casually. My company also produces formaldehyde sterilizers, and that box turned out to be armored with formaldehyde. What's the problem? Is it?"

"No...no..."

Han Shixiu thought in his heart, Zou Sijiu himself doesn't care about anything, this is not a problem, but he always assumes that others don't care about anything either—

"Zou Sijiu." Han Shixiu said, "Are you free tonight?"

"Huh? Yes." Zou Sijiu answered quickly.

"Let's meet."

I will return the nine thousand eight hundred yuan to you—

"Row."

At night, when he saw Zou Sijiu on campus, Han Shixiu froze for a moment.

Because Zou Sijiu also wears the same scarf around his neck——

Zou Sijiu wears this very tasteful, with a bit of romantic and suave feeling.

On the other hand, I just entangled myself casually...

"Zou Sijiu." Han Shixiu stepped forward, "You...you bought yourself a similar scarf..."

"Yeah." Zou Sijiu also had a smile in his eyes: "It's the same."

Han Shixiu also smiled foolishly.

"That," Han Shixiu said, "You made a mistake when you transferred the money, and you actually transferred 1 yuan to me. You are so confused."

"Oh?" Zou Sijiu asked, "Really?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, I can show you the text message." Han Shixiu said, "I don't have an online bank... Let's go to the ATM to withdraw money together, and you can take it back."

"No need." Zou Sijiu said, "Let it go."

"...Hey?" Han Shixiu opened his eyes wide: "How can this be done?"

"It's okay to let you go, I will come back when I need it."

"That's not right..."

"What's wrong?" Zou Sijiu said, "It doesn't matter who gets it now. If my bank card doesn't work anymore, I can just find you. I'll keep it for a while."

"wrong……"

"One day if we break up and separate, I will come back."

"What if I lose it?"

"It won't be lost in the bank. Besides, if you lose it, you lose it."

Han Shixiu still shook his head like a breaking drum: "No... No... This logic is wrong..."

"What's wrong with this logic?" Zou Sijiu seemed to have no desire to say any more: "You and I are each other's only supporters. Such a close relationship, why are you so clear? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Who wouldn’t let it go? If it’s lost, it’s lost. It’s meaningless to care about it. It’s really not a lot of money to me. When this kind of relationship no longer exists, I’ll just have to come back? This logic is very correct.”

Han Shixiu was dumbfounded by what Zou Sijiu said, so he just mechanically denied it: "No...not right..."

"Han Shixiu." Zou Sijiu was afraid that Han Shixiu would not understand, and added: "You can use the money as you like."
