On the train, the passengers who had just boarded were walking towards the carriage with the flow of people. Some looked around, and some had clear goals.
Deng Wanwan was among the crowd, looking quite nervous. She first looked at her ticket, and then looked up at the seat number in the carriage.
It was her first time to take a train, but she had heard many beautiful women mention the process and feelings of taking a train before. Later, when she was selling clothes, she also chatted with customers about related topics.
Customers who can afford expensive clothes naturally have high status and broad horizons, and have been outside.
Now, with the help of these experiences, she has finally found her own seat.
She didn't have much luggage and was thin. She quickly sat down and looked out the car window with a complicated expression.
Her heart was beating loudly. She was nervous, scared, and at the same time full of expectations for the unknown future.
Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Hey, aren't you... that little girl selling clothes in some Xinxin clothing store? What a coincidence, where are you going?"
Deng Wanwan was startled. She looked around and saw a man in his thirties sitting opposite her. The man looked familiar and was wearing a spring suit with fine texture.
Maybe it was a little hot in the car, so the buttons of his coat were open, revealing the shirt underneath, and there was a bunch of large and small keys hanging on the belt around his waist.
At first glance, Deng Wanwan didn't recognize who this man was, but she recognized that the suit he was wearing was from Xinxin Clothing Store.
Through this, she recalled that this man had bought clothes in a clothing store. At that time, he was greeted by many beauties, but she stood aside and followed him.
Because the man was a bit short and the trouser legs of his suit were too long, Duo Mei asked her to use a tape measure to measure the length of his legs. Then Duo Mei cut off part of the fabric of the trouser legs according to the size, and then used a sewing machine to sew the trouser legs.
At that time, she had been studying with her, and Duo Mei also taught her how to use a sewing machine, saying that after she learned it, she could sew trousers for customers.
After staying in the clothing store for more than a month, Deng Wanwan used her free time and discarded fabrics to finally learn how to use a sewing machine.
Seeing her dazed expression, the middle-aged man thought she didn't recognize him, so he laughed and said, "I bought clothes in your store, and the clothes I'm wearing are from your store!"
He stretched his body to show off his clothes.
Deng Wanwan smiled politely, the kind of smile a store clerk would have when facing a customer.
"Hey, aren't you selling clothes? Why are you taking a train to travel far away? Where are you going!" The middle-aged man seemed very enthusiastic and continued to ask.
Deng Wanwan was wary of all men. She originally didn't want to deal with this man, but because this man had bought clothes in the store, she felt bad about ignoring him.
So he said, "I want to go outside and have a look."
The man had an expression of understanding on his face and said: "Oh, I understand! Is the salary offered to you by the clothing store too low? Young people should go out and have a look. There are many opportunities to make money outside! But... …You’re a little girl…I’m afraid it’s not safe!”
"Since we have met once, if you have no place to go, why not come with me to the capital! If you don't go to the capital once in your life, you will definitely regret it!"
"My business happens to be short of a pretty girl as a frontman, how about it? If you are willing to go, the salary I will offer you will definitely not be lower than that of a clothing store!"
Although the man was enthusiastic, his eyes were clear and his face was innocent of any lust, and he seemed to be an honest and upright person.
Deng Wanwan was determined not to be easily deceived, but she still asked out of curiosity: "Brother, what's your business?"
The man said: "The rag picker...oh, I made a mistake, he is in the scrap recycling business!"
Deng Wanwan looked like you are lying to me.
The man quickly said: "Hey, you don't understand. There is no garbage in this world. Garbage is resources that have been placed in the wrong place! As long as we put it in the right place, money will naturally come from it!"
"Don't look down on rag pickers. If you hadn't seen your little girl going out alone, and I was afraid that you would encounter difficulties outside, I wouldn't want to ask you to go! Let's think about it. We are all fellow villagers, and fellow townspeople don't lie to fellow villagers! "
Although the man was very confident in what he said, Deng Wanwan didn't believe his lies.
Don't you want to lie to my fellow villagers? She was deceived and sold by her own uncle!
So Deng Wanwan remained silent, neither agreeing nor rejecting, but her attitude was obvious.
The small railway station in the county town does not have direct trains to the capital, so if a man wants to go to the capital, he must first go to the provincial capital to transfer.
The ticket Deng Wanwan bought was to go to the provincial capital.
Deng Wanwan had a shadow of the south and was unwilling to go there again. She was also afraid of places that were too far away. In addition, she didn't have much money, so she finally chose to go to the provincial capital.
After getting out of the car, Deng Wanwan looked at the strange city and strange people, her heart beating rapidly.
She got off the train following the flow of people and walked towards the exit of the station. At this time, the man who was chatting with her on the train chased her again.
He said: "Little girl, it's fine if you don't want to follow me to the capital for business, but you have to tell me, do you have any relatives or friends in this provincial capital? Will they come to pick you up? Where will you stay?"
"I'm telling you, it's very dangerous for a little girl like you to be out there! I live in the county, and one of my cousins has some contacts with Gao Mingcheng. If I hadn't seen that you were working in Gao Mingcheng's shop, I haven’t paid any attention to you yet!”
"Did you tell Gao Mingcheng when you came out alone? If you hadn't told him, I could still call him to make sure you were safe!"
The man was indeed very enthusiastic, because he saw that something was wrong with Deng Wanwan, so he caught up with her and made this call.
If Deng Wanwan continues to ignore him, then he will ignore her.
No matter what happened to Deng Wanwan later, he would not have any uneasy conscience.
Because he has tried his best.
But unexpectedly, Deng Wanwan stopped. She looked at the man with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
When she heard the name Gao Mingcheng, she suddenly felt relieved.
The first thing she asked was: "What is the relationship between your cousin and Gao Mingcheng?"
"Oh, my cousin is the director of the county cultural relics management office. Gao Mingcheng has indirectly helped my cousin, so my cousin asked me to buy clothes from you to support Gao Mingcheng's business." The man said.
Deng Wanwan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
She actually didn't know the relationship between the director of the cultural relics management office and Gao Mingcheng, but she had heard Gao Mingcheng say that he wanted to find Director Wang.
Therefore, there is indeed some contact between them.
Deng Wanwan asked: "Brother, what is your name?"
"My name is Wang Xun, the beauty of the East, Xun Youqi Yan who has medicine but no trouble. Have you heard this sentence? My character is like jade, and jade is like a gentleman." The man said quite complacently. .
His family has produced scholars for generations, and their names all have origins and explanations.
Deng Wanwan actually didn't understand it, but it didn't stop her from having an unclear feeling.
Suddenly, she had made a decision and said: "Brother Wang Xun, I will go to the capital with you to do business!"
Deng Wanwan has always been afraid that she will be deceived and sold again.
But when she heard Gao Mingcheng's name from this man's mouth, half of her heart was at ease, and the other half of her heart was at ease when she listened to this man's words.
She decided to take a gamble.
