Director Xie is a little tired. The work in the department is like this. If you want to accomplish something, you have to make countless twists and turns to achieve the goal. You can never hit a straight goal.
It's no wonder that Xiao Tang doesn't like it. He has worked in the department for decades and has not matured enough. He often feels tired.
During the busiest days of the Canton Fair, everyone was busy, but after that, it became quiet. Many foreign businessmen returned home early after buying satisfactory products.
After Tang Niannian had some free time, she left everything to Tang Jianshu and the others, while she went out to play with Shen Xiao.
Tang Jinglin's family, as well as Zhao Fanghua and others, also left early.
Before leaving, I said goodbye to Tang Niannian. Although I was reluctant to leave, it was not too uncomfortable because Tang Niannian said that they would see each other again soon, and they went back with expectations.
Tang Niannian took Shen Xiao around the streets and alleys of Yangcheng, took a lot of photos, and bought a lot of local specialties.
In a small alley, they met Kurt and the others, who were also out shopping.
A ball was thrown out and almost hit Kurt, and then a little boy ran out, not daring to pick up the ball and watching timidly.
Tang Niannian stopped to see how this guy would react.
Kurt's face darkened and he opened his mouth to curse.
But his mind cleared up quickly and he touched his neck. The wound had just scabbed over and was still hurting.
"My uncle didn't see the road clearly. It's none of your business. I'm sorry. You can use this money to buy sweets."
Kurt smiled as warmly as a spring breeze, bent down, and stuffed a piece of money into the little boy's pocket.
The little boy's mother ran over anxiously. Seeing that her son hit a foreigner, she hurriedly ran over to apologize, but was confused by Kurt's operation.
"I'm sorry, I can't take the money. It's my child's fault!"
The mother picked up her son and wanted to return the money to Kurt. She did not dare to accept the money for fear of getting into trouble.
"Take it, it's not mine!"
Kurt was determined to give the money. He almost made a mistake just now. The God of Death must have seen it. If he didn't accept the money, he was afraid that the God of Death would come and cut his neck again at night.
The two of them were talking to each other. The mother couldn't understand what he said, and Kurt couldn't understand what she said either, so they were deadlocked.
"Take it!"
Tang Niannian walked over and took Kurt's money. It was a ten-dollar bill, which was enough to improve the lives of the mother and son.
She put the money into her mother's hand and reassured: "There won't be any trouble, don't worry!"
"What kind of money is this? Can I spend it?"
Although her mother didn't know Tang Niannian, she felt that this beautiful girl gave her a special feeling of peace of mind, so she accepted the money with confidence, but she didn't know U.S. dollars and didn't know how to spend it.
"Go to the bank to change money. You can get about twenty yuan, so don't spend it randomly." Tang Niannian told her.
"It's too much. I don't want this money. Girl, please give it back to this foreigner. It was my son who bumped into him. How can I take his money? I can't take money that I shouldn't take!"
When the mother heard that it was worth twenty dollars, her expression changed drastically and she was determined to return it to Kurt.
Tang Niannian did not dissuade her, and said to Kurt: "The child's mother said she doesn't want your money. She is poor and ambitious, so she will not accept this money from unknown sources. Moreover, this matter was originally wrong for her child. She is doing it for her." My child apologizes to you!"
"No need to apologize. The child is right. I almost scolded the child just now. I should be the one to apologize!"
Kurt was so frightened that he shook his head vigorously. He did not dare to accept the apology, and the god of death would not let him go.
"Please accept this money, please!"
Kurt begged humbly. If he didn't accept the money, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Finally, with Kurt's endless begging, his mother had to accept the ten dollars.
"Girl, is there something wrong with this foreigner's brain?"
Mother asked Tang Niannian in a low voice and pointed at her head.
If you have no problem with your brain, how can you give money to people when you meet them?
"I guess so!"
Tang Niannian nodded. People like Kurt bullied the weak and feared the strong. He was also a bit mean. He would be honest if he was taught a few more lessons.
The mother took ten yuan and led her son home contentedly.
Kurt and his companions continued shopping with peace of mind.
Everyone is happy!
Tang Niannian led Shen Xiao around for a day before returning to the hotel. At the door, he met the reconciliation director and representatives from several textile factories. He was now in high spirits after changing from the depression of the previous two days.
"Xiao Tang, is Yangcheng fun?"
Director Xie stopped her, his eyes meaningful.
"Okay, do you want some snacks?"
Tang Niannian took out a bag of snacks and asked them to take it by themselves.
"I have a question that I don't quite understand. Those foreign businessmen changed their minds overnight and took the initiative to ask for a price increase. This is weird."
Director Xie took Tang Niannian to the side to whisper.
"It shows that our products are good."
Tang Niannian took a piece of wife cake, ate it, and handed one to Director Xie.
"I will not eat."
Director Xie refused and added, "But I heard those foreign businessmen talking privately about God Mary and the God of Death. Xiao Tang, do you know what's going on?"
In fact, it was Shangguanjing who heard it.
What those foreign businessmen said was: "Hurry up and sign the contract, otherwise the God of Death will not let us go. Maria said she will only save us once and will not take care of us again in the future."
Shangguan Jing was puzzled. What does signing the contract have to do with Maria's death?
These foreigners would also draw crosses on their chests from time to time, praying for God and Mary's blessings, and they looked particularly pious.
She told Director Xie about this, and Director Xie also felt strange, but soon he thought of the strange deaths of Xu Laifeng's three people, and the demise of the Zhou family in the capital.
They all reveal an inexplicable weirdness. They don't seem like things that mortals can do, but rather like indescribable strange powers and chaos.
But one thing is very clear, both Xu Laifeng and the three people, as well as the Zhou family, have issues with Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao.
Therefore, the sudden change of attitude of these foreigners may have been caused by Tang Niannian.
It could also be Shen Xiao.
Or maybe the young couple teamed up.
Director Xie said while observing Tang Niannian, but the girl didn't even change her eyebrows. She ate the cake with gusto and was good at catching the crumbs.
"Don't just eat, tell me what you think!"
Director Xie was angry and funny, so he said angrily.
Tang Niannian finished eating the cake, wiped her mouth, and then said: "I don't have any opinion. Foreigners believe in God Mary, just like we believe in Bodhisattva. Is there anything strange about it?"
"But it's too strange to change their attitude in one night. Could someone have done something to them?" Director Xie asked tentatively.
"Who knows!"
Tang Niannian shrugged. The director wanted to ask again, so he said, "Maybe God is also crazy!"
"What's crazy? Xiao Tang, please tell me more clearly, who is crazy?"
Director Xie didn't hear clearly, he only heard the madness. Tang Niannian had already left, and his mood was aroused.
"You can't even explain it clearly, really!"
Director Xie laughed and cursed and stopped caring about this matter. He was 80% sure that this matter had something to do with Tang Niannian, but he was not going to report it. As long as the result was good, it didn't matter what the process was.
Shen Xiao stayed in Yangcheng for three days before going on another mission.
The Canton Fair was open until early November. Tang Niannian learned his lesson and bought a sleeper ticket in advance. When he returned to Shanghai, it was already November.
