"Hey, wait, what are you doing?" Lu Wei, who was sitting in the bathtub, saw someone who looked like a student and started pouring water into the bathtub without asking a word. He stood up from the bathtub and felt anxious. asked cheekily.
"This is a bathtub." The man pouring water confidently answered the question.
Lu Weixin said, I still don’t know if this is a bathtub. What I’m asking you is why you poured water. But she only dared to think about it in her heart and didn't dare to say it directly.
She stepped out of the bathtub, and the corners of her wet skirt began to drip with water, and the floor was soon filled with a small puddle of water.
"Why didn't you add water?" A middle-aged German man wearing reading glasses quickly approached the two of them and asked the man pouring water while looking Lu Wei up and down with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"She seems to have an opinion." The man pouring water shrugged and walked out of the studio carrying the bucket.
"Fang Ke didn't say water should be added here, shouldn't it be an empty bathtub?" Lu Wei looked at the wet hem of her skirt resentfully.
The middle-aged man looked impatient: "We are painting a girl in a bathtub. Of course we have to add water to the bathtub. Is there any problem with this?"
Lu Wei swallowed his saliva and said angrily: "If water is added to the tank, my clothes will all get wet."
The middle-aged man said nothing and pointed to the small cabinet next to the bathtub with his index finger.
Following his finger, Lu Wei saw an orange and white bath towel.
"This bath towel...isn't it too small?" Lu Wei said in surprise after seeing the size of the bath towel.
"Do you want to sit in after filling up the water or sit in and refill the water first?" The middle-aged man asked fiercely, ignoring Lu Wei's question.
Seeing the other party's posture of "This matter is not negotiable," Lu Wei knew that he had no choice. After hesitating for two seconds, he reluctantly compromised and said: "Add water first."
The tub quickly filled with water.
The water temperature was lower than she thought, so Lu Wei gritted his teeth and slid in little by little. After she sat completely in the bathtub, the cold water reached her neck in an instant.
Within a few minutes, Lu Wei's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth, took the required posture, and soaked in the bathtub motionless.
After receiving the notice from the agency, Dong Qiangqiang rushed over immediately.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang enter the door, the bald man in charge of the agency quickly stood up from behind the table and came out with a smile: "You came so fast, Mr. Dong, I thought you wouldn't be able to..."
Dong Qiangqiang waved his hand and asked urgently: "Why did you call me here?"
The bald man looked half-smiling: "I have good news to tell you. Your (company's) business license has basically been issued."
Dong Qiangqiang said so quickly, but there was no surprise on his face: "Then I can get it now?"
The bald man immediately shook his head: "Basically, it means that there are still some minor problems."
"What's the problem?" Dong Qiangqiang asked dissatisfied, "Didn't you say last week that as long as I paid 800 marks, it could be done within a week?"
"Yes, I did say that," the bald man rolled his eyes, "but something unexpected happened now."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked calmly: "What's the accident?"
"I told you last time that 500 marks can pay off all the previous debts of this company," the bald man said with a frown, "but now after my... oh no, after the bank's investigation, the company's debt may be more than 500 marks. "
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that the other party would play this trick, and he was stunned on the spot.
"So, Mr. Dong, I'm afraid you won't be able to get a new license this week." The bald man rubbed his hands helplessly.
It didn't take him to ask Dong Qiangqiang to understand that if the debt problem was not solved, the company would still not be able to settle the account even if the bald man was given a month.
"How many more do you need?" Dong Qiangqiang said a few words through his teeth, the veins on his neck appearing and disappearing.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang coming up to Daoer, the bald man stopped beating around the bush and spread his fingers: "For another 500 marks, I can definitely get it done before this Friday. I can guarantee it this time."
Dong Qiangqiang hates people who first deceive you into paying money and then tell you that it can't be done. But now people are selling meat to fish, and his pigs are still being fostered in Fleisher's pig farm every day at a cost. He urgently needs a company under his own name to complete the transaction.
The bald man said to himself while writing a receipt for Dong Qiangqiang: "You know that companies that want to change hands now have some tricks that are hard to find. I also spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to find out. That’s the risk for us conscientious intermediaries.”
"Risk?" Dong Qiangqiang raised his eyebrows, feeling that the word coming out of his mouth was simply ironic.
"Yes." The bald man pulled off the receipt, handed it to Dong Qiangqiang, and motioned for him to accept it, "Risk."
"Do you know what risks are?" Dong Qiangqiang suddenly asked him instead of receiving the receipt.
"Huh?" Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't receive the receipt, the bald man was slightly startled, "What?"
"My brothers and I need to help farmers catch wild boars in the forest. We have no guns, no knives, only a pair of fists." Dong Qiangqiang clenched his fists hard in front of the bald man, while staring coldly into the bald man's eyes, " When a wild boar comes charging, the only thing we can do is go up and give it a good whack and then catch it."
Dong Qiangqiang's eyes were cold and his tone was cold. The bald man felt a chill gradually surrounding him. He doubted: "You...can catch a wild boar with your bare hands?"
Dong Qiangqiang silently took his left arm out of his sleeve, only to see a deep wound diagonally above his left arm. Although the wound had healed, the skin in the scab area looked brighter red than the skin next to it, which was shocking.
"This is this?" The bald man looked confused, and the hand holding the receipt unconsciously put it on the table.
"He was caught by a wild boar, but you know what? I am still lucky. My brother was pushed off a cliff by a wild boar. A fifty-meter-high cliff." Dong Qiangqiang gestured with his hand to indicate a height, "Do you know what the risk is? ? This is called risk. And we can only earn 500 marks from selling a wild boar."
After saying that, Dong Qiangqiang took out his wallet with a dark face, took out five 100-mark notes one by one, and calmly stacked them in front of the bald man.
Seeing the green banknotes, there was no trace of joy on the bald man's face. He looked at Dong Qiangqiang warily and suspiciously.
Dong Qiangqiang put on his coat again and said in a commanding tone: "I'll come get the license next week."
The scar on Dong Qiangqiang's left arm was not caused by the wild boar, but was accidentally injured when Dong Qiangqiang fought with someone to save Wu Xiaoxi, but how could the bald man know this? He had already heard the implication of Dong Qiangqiang. Although he was not sure whether Dong Qiangqiang was threatening or joking, Dong Qiangqiang's current expression clearly did not look like that of a person who could talk easily, and the bald man hesitated.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang reached for the receipt on the table, the bald man snatched it back. He threw the receipt back into the drawer with a frown on his face, and pointed to the door pretendingly: "Go and wait outside."
Dong Qiangqiang said nothing, walked out of the door in two steps, and closed the door behind him.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he immediately heard a noise coming from the house that was obviously not in German or English.
Dong Qiangqiang was listening intently to the sound at the door when Hans suddenly called: "Hello, Dong Qiangqiang? I found someone who knows programming you asked me to find last time. Are you free in thirty minutes? Let's go Let’s chat in the cafe next to the university.”
"I have no problem with the time and place." Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Can I ask someone else to chat with me?"
"Of course." Hans said happily.
"I'll see you later." After putting down the phone, Dong Qiangqiang casually called Duan Mu Xinghao. He had just finished class and happened to be near the university. When he heard that the conversation was about stocks, he responded quickly.
After making two phone calls, I heard the bald man shouting from inside the room: "Come in."
When Dong Qiangqiang walked into the room, the bald man's face had changed into a kind face: "You can come and get your ID at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Your 500 marks." Dong Qiangqiang deliberately pushed the money he threw on the table in front of the bald man.
"No need for now." The bald man waved his hand impatiently, "Maybe the bank made a mistake."
Dong Qiangqiang glared at the bald man with disdain: "Really? Then you took the trouble."
The bald man dodged Dong Qiangqiang's eyes: "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock."
Walking out of the agency door, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: He didn't expect that there were such people among Germans. Sure enough, "there are a hundred people, all kinds of people (hǎi) and colors (hǎi)". It seems that when working with unruly people, you must not be a bad person. You must resolutely fight back against unreasonable demands, otherwise the other party will think that you are easy to bully, and maybe they will also think that all Chinese students are easy to bully.
Thinking of the other party's cowardice just now, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel very good. He hummed a little tune and walked towards the station.
Through this period of financial literacy, a lot of new ideas came to his mind and he wanted to hear other people’s opinions as soon as possible.
