It's almost the end of July, and even though the city is close to the seaside, the weather is so hot that people still don't want to go out. Compared with other cities, the economic-centered city has a very strong Olympic atmosphere. After all, this is an international metropolis. Compared to the seriousness of Yanjing, the atmosphere here is much better than ours.
So the Olympic atmosphere here is not the same as that of Athena in Greece, where it is held, but things about the Olympics appeared earlier than in other cities.
For example, Athena and Favos dolls, the mascots of this year's Greek Olympics, are much more popular here than in other cities.
Regarding the mascot of the Olympic Games, to be honest, even if you put aside the Eastern and Western cultures, I am surprised. Yang Dongxu still feels that these Olympic dolls are far less cute than the puppets of the Chinese zodiac.
Especially when looking at the Athena and Favors dolls in his hands, Yang Dongxu always felt that he was holding two monsters in his hands instead of some mascot.
He had no objection to the uniqueness of the mascot's design, but it was so special that the two dolls in his hands looked like monsters, which was a bit speechless.
Athena is the goddess of wisdom, and according to legend, she is a more beautiful being than the coquettish Medusa. With a head designed with big feet and pointed hands, I wonder if Athena, an old lady in heaven, would borrow the thunder scepter from Zeus and turn the designer into ashes.
"Actually, it feels good to take a closer look." Wu Xue organized Xiao Wenchen in his arms to tear the doll in his mouth in various ways. Just now, he didn't pay attention and he put Favors' head into his mouth. Inside, it was already covered with saliva and was held in Yang Dongxu's hand. He held Athena in his hand.
Four-year-old children can actually speak clearly and have some understanding of what other people are saying. I just can't help but knead things into strange shapes when holding them, or put them in my mouth to test the firmness. I don't know if this is a remnant of when I was one or two years old and wanted to put everything in my mouth.
Next to her, Zhou Ya, who was wearing a short shirt, a t-shirt, an ordinary straw hat and sunglasses, didn't pay much attention to her son, but was picking at the small commodities on the stall in front of her.
The owner of the stall is a dark-skinned man. No matter how ordinary Zhou Ya dresses, her temperament after having been in a high position for so many years cannot completely become ordinary. So every time he asked about the price, Yang Dongxu always felt that the stall owner who was secretly looking at his wife had doubled the price quoted to others.
Many people feel that rich people are fools, and that rich people’s money is especially easy to defraud. For example, a meal for them costs hundreds of thousands, and a bottle of wine costs tens of thousands. They are simply taken advantage of.
But in fact, rich people are more stingy than ordinary people when buying things, especially when buying things on carpets. Except when a man and a woman are in love, the man deliberately pretends to be generous and directly gives money.
Otherwise, rich people would buy hundreds of thousands of luxury goods without blinking an eye, but when they buy some ordinary small things. Bargaining is even stingier than ordinary people.
For example, my wife Zhou Ya came up with a bargaining technique that she had half-read, and after this bargaining method did not achieve the desired effect, she began to look for other cheap and useful things to fill the gap.
Then using the average method of buying something for two yuan, three items for five yuan, etc., the price can basically be accepted by both parties, making the vendor's plan to deceive fools completely fail.
"If you don't sell it, forget it."
Then he left with his husband and son.
After walking a few steps, the vendor hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, I'll buy you two pieces. I'm really losing money. If I didn't want to get a good start today, I would never sell to you." In the game, a business was finally completed. .
"Brother, do you know that those stamps we collected before are very valuable?" Wu Xue nudged Xiao Wenchen, who was sliding down in his arms, and asked him to move up in his arms.
In fact, children don’t want to stay in the arms of adults on hot days, especially when they are four or five years old, when they are lively and curious.
For example, in rural areas, Xiao Wenchen, who likes to dig into every corner even if he doesn't go out, and at least pokes at mouse holes with a stick, has never kept his clothes clean.
This was the first time I came to the magic city, and there were many thieves around, so I could stay quietly in my arms for a while, but only for a while. After getting a little familiar with the lively surroundings, he couldn't stand twisting and turning in Wu Xue's arms.
"Sell a small amount with money, and the price of that stuff will go up." Yang Dongxu glanced at the Olympic stamps on the stall, and his son, who was beginning to want to rebel, took them from Wu Xue's arms and put them around his neck.
This way, you don't have to crowd around the beautiful aunt to be suspicious and uncomfortable, and it's very novel to sit on my father's neck. Xiao Wenchen stroked the hair on the top of his father's head without any politeness, and kept looking around with his big eyes.
The stamps Wu Xue mentioned were the stamps collected by Yang Dongxu back then, as opposed to collecting stamps from envelopes. Yang Dongxu's stamp collection is always purchased in full pages at the post office.
At that time, Wu Xue was following him like a follower and bought some with her meager pocket money. I don’t know whether the domestic philatelic market has been affected by the atmosphere of foreign stamp collecting in recent years, or whether it is the domestic shareholder collection market that is booming.
The prices of monkey stamps and earlier stamps have been rising steadily in the past two years. Although it is not as exaggerated as a stamp can be used to buy a house, the price is already very impressive.
"If you don't use money much, then just keep collecting. I just don't understand how stamps that cost just a few cents can now be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars." Wu Xue said casually.
"Maybe I'm full and have nothing to do." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at her husband angrily. He still spoke so openly despite his age. Didn’t you see that the stall owner looked at him differently?
Because in addition to selling some Olympic stamps, his stall also sells some gadgets that seem to be out of date, and he looks like a player at first glance. When Yang Dongxu said this in front of him, wasn't he clearly pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?
With the little guy on their backs, the three of them turned around and walked into the air-conditioned milk tea shop next to them to get cooler. Only then did Yang Dongxu feel the murderous gaze behind him disappear.
"Um... Wu Xue?" The three of them were at a party, looking at the list of what flavor of milk tea to drink, when an uncertain voice sounded.
Then she put sunglasses on her forehead and wore denim shorts and a tight short shirt to show off her beautiful figure. The big earrings on both sides were slightly exaggerated, but they perfectly set off the charming face of the urban beauty from the table next to her. stood up.
This milk tea shop not only sells milk tea, but also sells cakes, ice cream, fruit smoothies, etc., so there are several high tables nearby for customers to stay in the shop.
"Who are you?" Wu Xue was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of her uncertainly, and then at the table where she had just stood up. There was another girl and two boys on the table, none of whom looked familiar.
"I am Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague. We have met before. This is your friend Yang Dongxu, hello. My name is Jiang Lan'er, Jiang Jing's colleague." Jiang Lan'er said hello very warmly without much embarrassment on her face.
"Hello." Yang Dongxu nodded politely.
"Oh, I remembered, I saw you and Jiang Jing together before. It was the first time we saw you dressed like this and no one came out. Where is Jiang Jing?
I haven't seen her for a long time. The last time I called her, I heard that she was getting married. Her boyfriend said he was from out of town, and she didn't say when she would get married. Later, when I called her again, she seemed to have changed her phone number and didn't tell me. The phone was down and I couldn't get through. "A smile also appeared on Wu Xue's face.
She doesn't have many friends in Magic City, Jiang Jing barely counts as one. When two people lived in the same dormitory, they had some friendship. Jiang Jing gave her gifts when she moved before.
Jiang Lan'er seemed to be there at that time, it was too long and I can't remember clearly. Of course, the main reason was that Jiang Laner, who was wearing cool and slightly sexy clothes, was a bit different from the stern bank counter staff, so she didn't recognize her for a while.
"They didn't get married, and they broke up again. She almost quit her job because of his boyfriend, and finally applied for a transfer to her boyfriend's job. It turned out that the man was nothing at all. He said he was married and ended up messing around outside." Jiang Laner was a little bit He said indignantly.
But his eyes were constantly looking at Zhou Ya next to Yang Dongxu. Although Zhou Ya was wearing ordinary clothes, she didn't seem to have any famous brands on her body. But she still had some discernment as she worked in a bank. She felt that the woman in front of her was very extraordinary, but for a while she couldn't tell what was extraordinary about her.
But seeing her standing next to Yang Dongxu, the big money owner, and there was a child with a tiger head sitting on Yang Dongxu's neck, I couldn't help but make some guesses in my heart.
"Then her job was transferred back? By the way, you had her phone number but you didn't give me her phone number." Jiang Jing said and Wuxue couldn't help but become concerned.
"Yes." Jiang Laner said quickly, then trotted back to her desk and took the latest Samsung flip phone with a rhinestone-encrusted casing. "Is your mobile phone number still the same one? I'll send it to you."
She had Wu Xue's mobile phone number. She knew it from Jiang Jing when she was still working in Shanghai.
"It's still the same." Wu Xue nodded and didn't think it was strange that the other party had his own mobile phone number.
"Okay, I've sent it to you. I won't disturb you anymore. Jiang Jing said she is coming to Shanghai to relax in the past few days. When the time comes, she will call you and we will have dinner together."
"Okay, thank you." Wu Xue thanked her after receiving the text message.
"You're welcome. Jiang Jing's friends are my friends. I won't disturb you anymore." Jiang Laner smiled and waved her hands, and returned to her small table to continue spending time with her friends, but looked here from time to time.
Until Yang Dongxu and others bought milk tea and left the store, they couldn't help but look disappointed.
Except for the milk tea shop, Zhou Ya's eyes were always looking at Yang Dongxu. Her thoughtful gaze made Yang Dongxu feel a little scared.
I had to pretend not to understand and play with my son with a milk tea bucket.
Although Jiang Laner's gaze was hidden just now, except for Wu Xue, a silly girl without any intention, she didn't notice it. The other party's subtlety was obviously invisible in Zhou Ya's eyes.
Moreover, although there was a cover-up, Jiang Laner's eyes almost sparkled like diamonds when she saw Yang Dongxu. In addition, after seeing Xiao Wenchen and thinking of Zhou Ya's identity, his eyes were obviously a little evasive. Anyone with a clear mind can guess the reason.
So Yang Dongxu also smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't do anything, why did he seem to have made a big mistake?
