Why did you see him? When he rescued me from the river, he acted bravely and did a good deed. If he had done this good deed, forget it, and it would be regarded as a sinful virtue he had accumulated. Why do you need to see him? When Pei Yan said this, she suddenly changed her mentality and tone. Of course it was okay to meet him, and I had to thank him sincerely, because he was my savior.
I don't want to hear you say this. Let’s not talk about thanking him. If I don’t argue with him, I will be lenient to him. Why should I thank him? Of course Hong Fafu couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, so he was obsessed with this matter.
If that man didn't save me, I might no longer be alive. You still complain so much and are so suspicious of others. When Pei Yan talked about this, her heart felt sour.
No matter what, you have to take me to see him tomorrow. Fa Fu ordered firmly.
He is a stranger. Even if I take you to the city tomorrow, I may not be able to find him. Pei Yan was telling the truth, but she knew that she might not be able to find him, because the man said that if she wanted to find him tomorrow, she could go to the jewelry chain store in the city.
The next morning, Hong Fafu went to his grocery store in the town to say hello to the clerk, and then stretched out his hand to explore the fruit knife in the scabbard at his waist. It was hard, and a long palm was still there, so he happily took his wife with him. Pei Yan took a ride into the county town.
As soon as he left the station, Hong Fafu asked Pei Yan how he could find the strange man. Pei Yan had some idea and said I would ask him right away. She asked a few people and found out that there are three jewelry chain stores in Lucheng, which are located on the three streets in the northeast and south. They first found the East Street jewelry store. Pei Yan asked the store owner, did you see a middle-aged man with a blue satchel? Your store? The shopkeeper looked at her strangely and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Boss, I fell into the river yesterday. I was rescued by a middle-aged man carrying a blue satchel. He didn’t even leave his name. Pei Yan glanced at Hong Fafu who was standing next to her, and continued, "I came to see him with my lover today, and of course I want to thank him."
The shop owner was puzzled when he saw Hong Fafu's cold expression. I thought to myself: Since I am grateful for my life-saving grace, seeing your lover like this is even more uncomfortable than crying. Of course, the store owner still answered Pei Yan, but his answer was meaningless. He said, how did you find my jewelry store? Why didn't you look elsewhere?
This is because yesterday I overheard the man saying that he had something to do at the jewelry store. What it was, it was none of my business and I didn’t need to get into it, but I heard him say that, so I came to the jewelry store.
Since this is the case, let me tell you that the middle-aged man carrying the blue satchel did come last night. He is from Hangzhou and had something to do with us, but he left after finishing his errand. As a business guest, I wanted to book a room in a good hotel for him, but he said no, so I didn't care. As for where he is now, I don't know at all.
The shop owner said this and turned around. However, Hong Fafu stepped forward, patted the counter, and asked, Oh, I also ask you, which direction did you see that man walking in? The shop owner heard the sound on the counter glass and immediately turned around to face him and said unhappily, I didn't pay attention, how could I know which direction he went? He looked at Hong Fafu intently and said complainingly, you can't take pictures of the glass on the counter casually, otherwise you will be in trouble.
I can afford compensation if the photo is broken, so why should I look down on others so much? Hong Fafu raised his neck, looking arrogant.
I’m not looking down on you, but I’d like to remind you that no matter how much money you have, you don’t have to spend it on this. The shop owner speaks calmly, maybe this is the training of a businessman.
Hong Fafu should also be a businessman, but he felt uneasy. Even though the store owner spoke calmly, he still "hummed" dissatisfied, then pulled Pei Yan away from the jewelry store full of jewels.
When I walked out of the store, I heard the store owner say, "Looking at you, you don't look like you are looking for someone to repay a favor, but you look like you are looking for revenge." Hong Fafu smiled dullly and thought to himself: Damn it, you're right, I want to see what kind of bird man he is. If he doesn't look right, I have to teach him a lesson. Then he gently touched the sheath with the fruit knife hidden at his waist, as if he was afraid of losing it, and he was cautious and a little nervous.
Hong Fafu and his wife found the North Street jewelry store again, and Pei Yan explained the reason to the store owner in the same way. The store owner said that in the first half hour, a middle-aged man carrying a blue satchel came. He is Zou Hongxian, general manager of Hangzhou Jewelry Development Co., Ltd. The store I opened is his jewelry chain store. He came this morning. He came to pay and then left. I asked him to stay for lunch, but he said he still had something to do and that he was welcome, so I didn't ask him to stay.
Will he return? Hong Fafu asked.
Probably won't come. The store owner shook his head and moved his eyes as he spoke. In previous years, the payment was done at the end of the year or I would pay for the goods. But this year, for some reason, he paid alone and came so early.
Let's go! Go back to South Street and ask. Pei Yan said as she and Hong Fafu walked out of the North Street jewelry store.
Hong Fafu and his wife found a jewelry store on South Street, and Pei Yan first communicated with a woman in the store. The woman told her that Mr. Zou from Hangzhou had been here, our boss settled the bill with him, and now the boss went out to eat with him.
Hong Fafu asked which hotel he would eat at, but the woman said she didn't know. They had no choice but to wait in this jewelry store until the owner came back, and when they asked again, they found out that Mr. Zou was staying at a hotel called Qiuchaxiang Hotel and was taking a lunch break. The owner told them not to look for him yet. Hong Fa Fu said yes.
But after leaving the jewelry store, he took Pei Yan to eat in a restaurant on the street, and then went straight to Qiuchaxiang Hotel. Seeing that it was still early, Pei Yan said, couldn't she wait a while and let Mr. Zou take a nap before looking for him?
no! Hong Fafu said with a straight face that I would find him as soon as possible. Pei Yan couldn't stop him, so she followed him. Although it is autumn, the sun at noon is still so hot and dry on my body. Beads of sweat appeared on Pei Yan's forehead. She took out her handkerchief and wiped it. She also wanted to find a place to rest, but Hong Fafu walked straight forward. Seeing that his face was not good, Pei Yan did not want to discuss it with him.
Hong Fafu didn't seem to feel the heat, but in fact he was angry with Pei Yan. I thought to myself: Are you, Pei Yan, still feeling sorry for Mr. Zou, are you afraid that I will affect his nap? I want to find it at this time.
Hong Fafu asked some pedestrians along the road and walked about four or five miles until he found the Qiuchaxiang Hotel by the riverside at the junction of South Street and East Street.
This hotel was a row of tiled houses, somewhat dilapidated. Hong Fafu couldn't believe it. Would Zou Hongzhi, a big jewelry business owner from Hangzhou, stay in such a bad hotel? He couldn't believe it. Could it be that the owner of the jewelry store on South Street told me the wrong place?
Now that he has found it, he still has to ask at this hotel. A waitress in the hotel opened the check-in and check-out number registration book and saw that there were not many guests today. There were only three registered guests, and the name of one of the guests was Zou Hongxian. Living in room 12, taking a lunch break.
The waitress said that this guest checked in last night. Hong Fafu was still doubtful and thought to himself, couldn't this Zou Hongxian be the same Zou Hongxian from Hangzhou? There were many people with the same name.
Yes, Hong Fafu asked Pei Yan to knock on the door of housing No. 12 and ask her to identify it and see if it was the Zou Hongxuan who rescued her from the river yesterday.
He was about to say what he meant, but the waitress stopped him and said, "You guys have nothing important to do. It's best not to wake the guest up at noon and let the guest have a good rest." With that said, the waitress closed the register.
However, Hong Fafu walked into the bungalow with houses on both sides of the middle corridor and searched for it. Then he turned around and said, oh, why can't I find room No. 12?
