18. Chameleon
Unwilling to reply to the other party's words of provocation and teasing, Pei Yan parked the car to the side of the road, opened his circle of friends to take a look. Some people posted travel photos, beautiful women photos, and those who showed off their new cars, new boats and even new planes. After a row up, they saw a lobster photo.
Fanhua: The food in this store is delicious, and the only disadvantage is that it is expensive. However, this is not the disadvantage of the store, but the disadvantage of my wallet.
There are too many rich people around you, and suddenly this circle of friends was revealed. Pei Yan felt that she felt the difficulty of the poor. She had to feel sorry for her wallet when eating seafood. What kind of life would she live?
He would rather say less about the Peacock in the future. It is not easy for poor people. Thinking of this, he gave Hua Jin a thumbs up.
When he woke up the next morning, the rain had become smaller. Hua Jin rubbed her aching knees, got up to wash and change clothes. Tan Yuan called in.
Tan Yuan: "Huahua, does your knees hurt? Don't come here to guard the store today."
Turn on the hands-free phone, Hua Jin sat in front of the mirror and traced her eyebrows: "It's okay, my legs have improved a lot in the past two years. I'm staying at home alone, so why not find something to do in the store."
Tan Yuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "Huahua, why don't we find a reliable old Chinese doctor to help you with some conditioning? Otherwise, if you continue like this, what will you do when you get old?"
"So now we have to work hard to make money. When we get old, we live in the best nursing home, eat the best food, and hire the best family doctor." Hua Jin said with a cheerful tone, "Work makes me happy, don't stop me from going to the store to make money."
"Then be careful on the way and call me if you have anything." Tan Yuan said in a low tone, "I will come and check the store with you after lunch."
"Stay after lunch, don't run around and waste your energy. I will definitely call you if you have anything to do. It rains all year round. If it rains, I'll be so pitiful." Hua Jin glanced at the time, "I'm ready to go out. You have fun today, don't worry about me." After that, before Tan Yuan continued to persuade him, he hung up the phone.
Walking out of the crowded subway, Hua Jin opened her umbrella and walked to the sidewalk intersection to wait for traffic lights. The intersection was full of passers-by waiting for lights. Everyone stood very close, but they all controlled their gazes and did not let their eyes fall on others, so as not to embarrass each other.
"Oh, have you seen it? There is a blogger on the Internet that said that the kind-hearted person who saved someone without leaving a name last month may be a young man, because he was in Shu Province in those days and had a close relationship with a female artist, and he was suspected to be in love."
"No, this is true. The studio has already jumped out to promote it. Will it be so low-key?"
"Maybe it's because I don't want to reveal my relationship. Some netizens went to the young man to ask on Weibo, but he didn't refute it."
"Maybe he wants to take advantage of the popularity?"
After accidentally hearing the chat between the two girls behind, Hua Jin frowned slightly. They were talking about what she and Pei Yan encountered in Jiangjiu City last time? But why did this matter become related to the artist?
The red light turned green, and she had no time to think about it and walked forward along the flow of people. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a girl's scream, and a golden dog jumped past her feet and disappeared on the street.
"Mingbao?Mingbao?" The woman in a long skirt and wrist guards stretched out her arms, her face full of fear and anxiety, "Mingbao, where have you been?"
Seeing that she was wearing glasses on her face, but her hands were scratching her everywhere, Hua Jin walked to her side and asked quietly, "Hello, do you need help?"
"Did you see my dog?" The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Hua Jin, her eyes dull. Seeing her eyes clearly, Hua Jin guessed that the girl might have been blind. She held the panic-inducing girl and looked around, "I'll help you to a place far from the lane."
"My Mingbao is very obedient. He must have been frightened just now, so he suddenly ran away." The girl grabbed Hua Jin's arm tightly, "Please help me find it. There are so many cars outside, what if..."
Her lips trembled constantly, and she didn't dare to say the most terrible consequences.
"Don't be anxious first." Hua Jin patted her back gently, "It won't be a problem."
Hua Jin's comfort did not work any effect. The girl was already crying so hard that she could not hold back. If it weren't for Hua Jin's support, she would probably not even have the strength to stand.
"What happened?"
Hua Jin looked up and saw two traffic policemen in uniforms. She quickly told the story.
"Mingbao is my guide dog. I have been raising it for three years. It has never done anything to leave me halfway. I am worried that something has happened to its body. Please help me find it. Please." The girl grabbed Hua Jin's hand blankly and helplessly, "It is my family, I can't live without it." She held the empty traction rope in her hand tightly, as if as long as she grasped the rope, her beloved dog would be found.
When the two traffic police saw the blind girl crying sadly, they comforted her warmly, leaving one to accompany the girl, and the other to chase her in the direction of the guide dog running away.
The traffic police who stayed looked only in their twenties or thirties. After using the walkie-talkie, he used the walkie-talkie to let other colleagues pay attention to the lost golden retriever, he borrowed a stool from a nearby store and asked the blind girl to sit in the corner and wait.
"Are you her friend?" The traffic policeman asked casually when he saw Hua Jin take out a tissue from his bag and handed it to the blind girl.
"I'm just passing by," Hua Jin shook her head, "I just happened to encounter this."
After hearing this, the traffic police couldn't help but look at Hua Jin for a few more times. He looked at the time. It was getting late. This girl should be the one who rushed to work. Will she be late if she was delayed for so long? However, this blind ordinary person is a woman, and it is not suitable for him to be alone.
After thinking about it, he contacted a female colleague nearby with the walkie-talkie, and then apologized to Hua Jin and said, "I'm sorry, I'll delay you for a while, one of my female colleagues rushed over immediately."
"It's okay." Seeing that the blind girl's emotions had calmed down a lot, Hua Jin couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the police uncle makes everyone feel safe."
The young traffic policeman was so blushed by Hua Jin's words that he pulled his hat: "It's okay to serve the people, it's OK."
After a while, the traffic police received a call from a colleague. The guide dog was found. It had a wound on its body, but it was not dangerous to get sick. Seeing that the blind girl cried and laughed when she heard the dog found it, Hua Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the store.
"Wait, may I ask you..." The traffic police saw Hua Jin sneak away and the blind girl couldn't see it, so they had to ask for help.
"Please call me a red scarf." Hua Jin turned his head and waved his hand. Before the blind girl got up to thank her, she took advantage of the red light turning green and quickly crossed the sidewalk. If you open a shop for a while, the loss may be money. You cannot be unable to get along with money.
red scarf?
The serious expression on the traffic policeman's face could hardly hold back and he coughed twice.
"Has she left?" the blind girl was a little disappointed, "I haven't thanked her yet." Her world was dark, and Mingbao was her eyes. The moment Mingbao ran away, her sense of security in the whole world disappeared, and she didn't walk out of endless fear until someone held her arm.
But she didn't know where she lived or what her name was, and she let her go without even saying a word of thank you.
When she opened the store door and lit incense. When the flower brocade saw that there were no customers, she sat next to the embroidery rack to embroider the koi painting. Among the finished products, koi embroidery is one of the best embroidery items, so when she is not busy, she will make some koi-related items and place them in the store for sale.
The rain outside became heavier again. Hua Jin put down the needle and turned on the audio in the store. In order to make customers feel that their store is low-key, luxurious and connotative, they bought a lot of light music discs.
There will not be too many customers coming to see the embroidery on this rainy day. Hua Jin made a cup of tea for herself and stared at the rain outside the window in a daze.
"Hello." A woman dressed tightly and wearing sunglasses walked into the store, pointed to the cheongsam on the wall and said, "Can this kind of cheongsam be customized?"
"Yes." Hua Jin glanced at the woman's figure, and the other party twisted his face uneasy under Hua Jin's gaze.
"You have a very slim figure, you can try the upper body effect of this cheongsam." Hua Jin said, preparing to get the cheongsam.
"No need." The woman in sunglasses handed Hua Jin a note with the size she needed, "I'll pick it up in three weeks."
Seeing that the woman wearing sunglasses turned around and was about to leave, Hua Jin quickly called her: "Madam, please wait."
"There's something else?"
Although the other party was wearing huge sunglasses on his face, Hua Jin still felt an "impatient" feeling from her. She smiled and tapped the table with her index finger, "Sorry, as long as it is a custom embroidery, our store will charge a 30% reservation fee."
"Can I still not afford such a small amount?" The woman in sunglasses' tone became even worse.
When the other party's tone became bad, Hua Jin's expression instantly became helpless and helpless: "Madam, looking at your temperament and dress, I knew you were not like this. But I really didn't dare to make decisions on my own when I worked for someone. If the boss knew that I had accepted the reservation but did not receive a deposit, I would fire me."
A boss who does not exist always comes out and takes the blame when necessary.
The woman in sunglasses' tone suddenly softened: "Forget it, it's not easy for you. I'll pay you how much."
"Thank you, you are so good." Hua Jin gave the payment QR code to the other party, but she did not forget to give the other party a grateful and happy look.
The woman who felt that she had helped the little employee left happily in a grateful look.
I was also in a happy mood when I received a large deposit of Hua Jin.
Pei Yan, who was standing outside the store, looked at this scene and suddenly felt that the Peacock Flower could not describe the characteristics of this woman.
She is not a flower peacock, she is clearly a chameleon.
