Luo Jingyu was not particularly surprised by what Fang Xu asked.

Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that his thoughts were hit by Fang Xu.

There is a banquet that will last for all. He and Fang Xu have been working together for nearly four years, and the conflicts are becoming increasingly acute and will eventually end up breaking up.

But now is not the time, and he is not ready. If Fang Xu is gone at work, most of Luo Jingyu's business will be shut down. The shutdown means no income and no income, which is a very serious matter for him.

Luo Jingyu actually had a small plan in mind. When he went to Shanghai for further study in May, he wanted to chat with Teacher Xu in person, listen to Teacher Xu's opinions before making a decision.

So at this moment, he shook his head at Fang Xu, typed on his phone and handed it to Fang Xu: [No, don't think too much.]

Fang Xu's expression did not ease after seeing it, and he raised his legs and asked, "What is your girlfriend doing? She is also playing with hot flowers?"

Luo Jingyu shook her head.

Fang Xu smiled and said nothing: "Then your girlfriend is very awesome. She can help you receive orders. Where did you take them?"

Luo Jingyu thought about it and typed: [Sakura Tree, Japanese Gala.]

Fang Xu was stunned after seeing it, thinking that this girlfriend met at that Japanese birthday party?

Luo Jingyu handed over his cell phone again: [I called you, you said you won’t go.]

Fang Xu: “…”

Luo Jingyu did call him. That day he had to start work from the morning until the early morning of the next day. He was afraid that he would not be able to get busy and that he could not communicate with others, so he wanted to invite Fang Xu to go with him.

Fang Xu felt tired and said that he could not install petals, and it was useless if he went there. He wanted to communicate with others and let the sculpture child Xiao Li come forward, so Luo Jingyu didn't force him.

Thinking of this, Fang Xu was a little embarrassed and said: "Xiaoyu, you were busy a while ago, and I didn't have the chance to talk to you. Just now, we opened our words. In fact, since I took the order for this cherry blossom tree at the end of last year, I found that something was wrong with you. I went to see the Japanese without hiding it, and I wrote a big essay for me. I wanted to take a look at the composition later, but I couldn't find it."

He spoke very slowly, just to let Luo Jingyu read the lip language clearly. Luo Jingyu has already read it very carefully, but Fang Xu is not happy after all, so they don’t have many opportunities to chat in person. Luo Jingyu doesn’t know his pronunciation well enough. When reading the lip, he can only try his best to grasp the keywords and try to connect the content before and after to understand it.

Fang Xu continued: "I know you have any objections to me. Last time you came to me, I also made it clear to you. It's not that I don't want to help you open up a new market. The market itself is not big. How many times do you want me to tell you before you can understand?"

He pointed to his right ear, "If you can't hear it, can't you be content? This year, we are ready for the Hanfu Festival business and earn 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, and your income will be more than last year. We have been improving, haven't you noticed it? The business is better every year than the previous year, and your craftsmen are recognized by the girls. If you want to be more famous, I can promote you. Teacher Luo or Teacher Xiaoyu, it's okay to use the reputation."

Fang Xu felt that he was trying hard to persuade him, "I just ask you to be a little more practical, don't be whimsical, always thinking about comparing with Xu Qingyan! How many Xu Qingyans are there in China? Many of those hand-made girls who play with hot flowers are not as profitable as you. Why are they famous and have you ever thought about it?"

Luo Jingyu looked at him with a deep expression.

Fang Xu asked and answered: "People can shoot short videos, dress up beautifully and show their faces, and explain while making flowers; they can also hold online paid teaching classes to teach enthusiasts to be introductory flowers; they can even open a hot flower salon in private, and all the rich wives and daughters come. Four or five people have afternoon tea while making a flower each. The money earned in one afternoon is enough for you to work hard for two days. So can you do these businesses? If you can do it, I will arrange it for you immediately!"

Luo Jingyu: "..."

"There is an idiom called 'playing your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses'. Have you learned it?" Fang Xu said with a "happy" and "meaning, you have to use your strengths and strengths to avoid your weaknesses and weaknesses. So what are your strengths? You have perseverance, patience, good craftsmanship, and design things that are in line with the aesthetics of Hanfu girls. What are your weaknesses? No need to say Luo Jingyu!"

Luo Jingyu: "..."

"Last time, you sent me a photo of the cherry blossom tree and asked me to help you promote it. I did it. Do you know what the feedback in the industry is? I don't have the nerve to tell you!" Fang Xu laughed at this point.

Luo Jingyu didn't know the feedback. At that time, he made peony every day and night, and had no time to read the group news. The several hot flower groups he added were blocked.

He frowned and raised his hand to draw a question mark in the air.

"I really want to know? Don't get angry at me if you know." Fang Xu laughed dryly.

Luo Jingyu nodded.

Fang Xu put down his legs and leaned forward slightly. His mouth moved very clearly, and he spoke almost word by word: "They said that people who take such orders are just crazy."

Luo Jingyu's face suddenly changed.

"Everyone is laughing at you, saying how could anyone be crazy to take such orders? Use hot flowers to make a tree! Are you sick? Didn't you vomit? Don't you lose the price? Repeat so many similar flowers, what's the point? How short of money is it? I don't have the shame to reply to messages. Do you know? I don't dare to say your name, and you even asked me to promote it? I'm really ridiculed by the crowd!"

Fang Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Luo Xiaoyu, this society is very realistic, you are too naive. Do you think it's awesome to make a tree? But people all say you are a fool! This is why I didn't want to take this order from the beginning! If you make more limited Valentine's Day payment, wouldn't this money be profitable? If I hadn't reported 220,000, and I really listened to your report 150,000, we would have lost money to my grandma's house!"

Luo Jingyu's face was covered with blood, and it quickly faded and turned white. Such feedback was something he didn't expect. He wanted to use this cherry blossom tree to gain a little popularity, but it turned out like this?

Is he really crazy after taking this order? Is no one willing to take it except him?

Is it because he is too stupid?

Is this a matter of losing your identity? Is there any other meaning except making money?

He couldn't figure it out, and was hit hard, so ashamed that he wanted to stop going to the beginning and never watch Fang Xu speak again, but he couldn't.

Fang Xu was communicating with him calmly, and he really needed to know the feedback from the industry. He couldn't just ignore it just because his opinions were not good. He was not so fragile. He wanted to make progress and he wanted to know where he was doing something wrong.

"Look, this is the big order you mentioned. We took it and you did it too. It was done quite well. What was the result? The reputation was a mess! Fortunately, this kind of thing was spread in the hot flower circle and it did not affect our business. No one in the Hanfu mother understood this, and no one knew that you made this stupid tree."

Fang Xu said this, picked up the cup and blew the tea leaves and took a sip. Then he sighed deeply, and raised his head and said, "Don't think I don't want to communicate with you. Actually, I'm very willing. It's just that it's very difficult to communicate with you. Do you know? You can't hear it, and you can't type well. Every time it's like now, I'm just talking alone, you stare at me stupidly. I'm really curious, how do you communicate with your girlfriend? Can she hear, can you tell sign language? How can she stand you? Two people always say one person and don't say anything. This is unscientific! Do you think you can live together for a long time?... Hey hey! I said so much just now, do you understand?"

Luo Jingyu: "..."

"Listen" to understand, but I don't want to pay attention to him, don't want to react, don't want to move, just want to be invisible.

Fang Xu was so angry that he said: "Luo Jingyu, Luo Jingyu, please accept your positioning. Hey! How do you want me to say that you can accept your fate? You are a deaf man, deaf and mute brother! We have worked together for so many years, but I am not taking care of you enough? Have you forgotten where we first met? If it weren't for me, we would have you today? Our accounts are refreshing, I never delay your money, what else do you want?"

He took a breath, "If you want to work alone, I won't stop you. If you go and look for it, can you find another partner who is more reliable than me? I wanted to do the hot flower business, and some people cooperate with me. Why did I look for you? It's because you feel pitiful, you have a good study but have no business. I'm helping you like this, not that you want you to be grateful to me and be kind to me. At least you can't just use it and then burn the bridge after you finish it, right?"

Luo Jingyu: "..."

"Did I say too many idioms, and you can't understand it? Can the ungrateful wolf understand it? Luo Jingyu, you can't be ungrateful! I know you are not such a person. You have always been very sensible. Who taught you? Who wrote that big essay for you? Your girlfriend? What a thing! Why don't she help you yourself? Who can't just talk about her? Isn't this awesome person? I kindly advised you Luo Jingyu to keep the money you earned by yourself. Don't spend it on women stupidly. People might just look at you as a deaf person. You are stupid and easy to cheat!"

Luo Jingyu didn't want to "listen" anymore. Really, he didn't want to hear a word anymore. He wanted to say Fang Xu, please leave quickly, go quickly, go quickly, he really didn't want to face him for a second.

Fang Xu almost finished speaking, after taking a few more sips of tea, stood up, walked to Luo Jingyu and patted his shoulder, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Xiaoyu, think about it yourself, you are a disabled person, deaf and mute person, can you do your business alone? Just that kind of broken peony ornaments can compare with the Hanfu Festival? Hanfu Festival, a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I don't want to do it, I'll find someone to cooperate with me earlier. It's not difficult for us to break up, it's just your word."

Luo Jingyu looked at him with his head up. After Fang Xu finished speaking, he patted his arm and left.

It took a long time later that Luo Jingyu stood up from the chair and turned around and saw that the gift had been staying on the cat crawler. He walked over and stretched out his hands to the gift, and the kitten obediently came to his arms.

He sat on the sofa with the gift in his arms, gently stroked the white hair of the gift. The soft little thing seemed to heal the wounds in his heart, but it could not stop his eyes from becoming red and sore again.

Of course he remembered the first meeting between him and Fang Xu.

Fang Xu's girlfriend was a little daughter at that time and loved Hanfu culture. When she went to Shanghai to study the junior hot flower, she met Luo Jingyu, but Luo Jingyu didn't know her.

After she returned to Qiantang, she told Fang Xu about Luo Jingyu's situation. Fang Xu was exposed to the hot flower because of his little daughter, and began to think about doing this business, but he was unable to find a partner. After hearing this, he asked Xiao Qianjin to ask Luo Jingyu's WeChat from Xu Qingyan.

The first time we met was when Fang Xu and Xiao Qianjin went to the night market to find him. Luo Jingyu was guarding the stall with Chen Liang. It was the hot summer. The two were sweating profusely and had many bags of them bitten out by mosquitoes.

Fang Xu had seen the hot-shrinkable jewelry made by Luo Jingyu, and also saw the hot-shrinkable works he specially prepared. Just like an interview, the two reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

In fact, at the beginning, Fang Xu was very annoyed to communicate with Luo Jingyu. Luo Jingyu could feel it, but he didn't dare to say anything. There was a Jianshe who was willing to take the initiative to help him start the business. He was really grateful. Fang Xu almost responded to every request. No matter how he made the order, Luo Jingyu would finish the order even if he didn't sleep.

Later, Fang Xu and Xiao Qianjin broke up, but Luo Jingyu was tied to him for many years.

He thought he was really not an ungrateful wolf. After so long, hasn't he paid off the love he owed Fang Xu? Every time he had a conflict, Fang Xu would remind him over and over again that he was a deaf person, deaf person, deaf person, deaf person, deaf person, deaf person, deaf person,... as if deaf person was his biggest mistake, his shortcomings, and his weaknesses were a sin that he had to hide deeply.

Luo Jingyu's tears slid out of her eyes, feeling that she was really failed, and she seemed to be convinced by Fang Xu again.

A cherry blossom tree that I finally made was ridiculed and sarcastic in the industry, saying that he was crazy and that he was stupid. Fortunately, Fang Xu did not say his name. If everyone knew that this tree was made by Luo Jingyu, he would have no shame to survive in this industry in the future.

What to do?

What to do?

Can you just live like this day by day?

365 days a year, I first do the Spring Festival & Valentine's Day business, then do the Flower Festival business, and then do the customization for a month. I went to Shanghai to study for more than a month. After I came back, I started preparing for the Hanfu Festival. After that, it was Christmas. Is it necessary to go on like this year?

It’s nothing bad to think about it. You can earn more this year than last year, and you may earn more than 400,000 yuan, which is much better than your sister and brother-in-law, let alone old classmates such as Chen Liang and Yue Qi.

But why are he still so sad? Fang Xu was right. He was just a deaf man. He could not shoot videos, could not teach online classes for others, and could not work in salons to teach face-to-face. He could not do so many businesses, so why would he want to get good opportunities?

Good opportunities are left to Jianren, and he is not worthy! He shouldn't learn how to boil flowers. He spent so much time, energy and money, and worked hard to study technology. In the end, the ceiling was so low. He touched it, and he couldn't get through it!

Ah...Why are you crying again?

When I was a child, I was ignorant and always loved to cry. Why did I still cry when I grew up?

I've really seen ghosts in recent months. I've shed so many tears. Are you still a man?

He is such a person, deaf, mute, and he is also delusional to make a name for himself in the domestic flower-boiling industry, and dream of marrying Huanhuan. He is really naive and idiot.

Luo Jingyu took out a few tissues to wipe away her tears, held the gift for a while, then put the kitten on the ground, sat back to the workbench, and continued to put the red peony in burying his head.

After Zhan Xi came back from get off work, he soon discovered something was wrong with Luo Jingyu.

He was very depressed and lost all over his body. He even kissed her very perfunctorily, without any radiance in his eyes.

After dinner, Zhan Xi asked him if he wanted to go out for a walk. Luo Jingyu shook her head and gave her a simple sign language: [I'm tired, you go home.]

Zhan Xi would not leave? She noticed a box of pastries and a bag of fruit on the entrance cabinet. She sat next to Luo Jingyu and asked him patiently: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy? Has anyone come today?"

Luo Jingyu didn't want to say anything, and closed her lips tightly and shook her hand.

After being criticized by Fang Xu last time, he did not dare to meet Huanhuan, for fear that he would collapse, so he took a few days to recover. This time, he couldn't stop Huanhuan from coming to the house for dinner, so he wanted her to leave quickly after the meal so that he could face the wall and think about his mistakes alone.

Zhan Xi is not that easy to fool. Although Xiaoyu is a very sensitive person, many ideas will be hidden in his heart and unwilling to say, they have known each other for several months. What she knows more is that Xiaoyu is gentle and simple, treats people sincerely and friendly, and is a person without bad intentions.

Such a small fish can withstand strong winds and waves because he has a kind of resilience in his bones. At the same time, he may not be able to withstand a slight blow at some moment. Just like after he and Mr. Chi Jiang first met, he fell into a trough and it took him a long time to cheer up again.

Today, he must have been stimulated again and became so depressed. Zhan Xi looked at the pastries and fruits again, and a flash of inspiration in his mind asked, "Has Fang Xu been here?"

He didn't look at her, Zhan Xi compared a [square] under his nose in sign language.

Luo Jingyu shook his body and suddenly looked up at her.

What a simple person! Zhan Xi thought that he couldn't stand the temptation at all, so he asked it out as soon as he asked.

She asked again: "What did Fang Xu say to you? Are you quarreling?"
