Make A Billion In The 80s - Chatper 163

The hut was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Grandma Qiu looked at him blankly.

His face was still swollen, his body was wet, and the back of his bare hands was red and swollen from being beaten by Grandpa Qiu with the bench just now.

But his eyes are open and pure. There is no timidity and dodge in the dark eyes of a child, but there is unprecedented responsibility in them.

Grandma Qiu suddenly felt that she didn’t know this child.

In the blink of an eye, on that morning more than ten years ago, the dying child lying in the swaddling clothes with bruises all over his body turned into a little adult.

Looking down at the pile of things in the plastic bag, she flipped through them one by one, and suddenly burst into tears—these things were all for the two old people, and there was nothing for him!

Qiu Mingquan grinned, his eyes were bright, and his swollen face was full of joy: “Grandpa and grandma, tomorrow, I will take you into the city, let’s go to the boutique shopping mall, the salesperson at the stationery counter there can testify for me!”

The old man turned around slowly hesitantly, and finally he was half-doubtful.

“You… You really didn’t do anything bad? I’m really going to the city with you tomorrow. ”

“Don’t worry, grandpa!”

…

Finally at midnight, Qiu Mingquan waited for the two elderly people to fall asleep, endured exhaustion and pain, and quietly got up.

When he came back, it was snowing outside, who knows what will happen overnight, if the ground is covered by heavy snow tomorrow morning, how can he find jade? !

Quietly go out and go around behind the window, sure enough, the ground has been covered with a thick layer of snow. The neighborhood here is a suburb, and some weeds are overgrown behind the window, and the traces of the arson a few days ago are still there. The dark wall is lined with white snow, and a slight whiteness can still be seen in the middle of the night.

The jade pendant is too small! The color was bright white again, and the direction and distance thrown by Grandpa Qiu were unclear. Qiu Mingquan was so anxious that he could only keep guessing and groping around in the snow.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, the howling north wind was mixed with the rustling of weeds, Qiu Mingquan’s little hands kept groping in the icy snow, and after a while, bloodstains were drawn by the sharp teeth of the weeds.

But he couldn’t feel the pain anymore.

The ice and snow froze his hands, and even his feet were starting to stiffen.

Time passed by little by little, and the sky in the distance seemed to gradually brighten, but Qiu Mingquan still found nothing, and his heart sank little by little.

…

For a long time, the surroundings were as quiet as a tomb.

Feng Rui’s senses were extremely keen, he could almost hear the slight movement of snowflakes falling around him, and he could also hear the rustling of withered grass and leaves in winter.

Hearing these small voices, he even fell into a trance for a while.

Could that mentally handicapped little migrant worker… be really frightened by his grandparents and stop looking for him, or could he be unable to find the pendant he was hiding in by accident?

Ten years, eight years? Like Monkey King, waiting for five hundred years to wait for the next passing Tang Seng who is destined to belong to him?

I don’t know how long he lay like this, but at the moment when he was drowsy, there was a warm temperature.

…Qiu Mingquan lightly held the bright red lanyard on the jade with one hand, almost dreamily, picked up the jade pendant from a piece of dry grass.

At that moment, the morning sun rises and the stars suddenly disappear. The air in winter is so fresh and cold, but the boy in front of Feng Rui has an immature face and his pupils are as black as ink.

“Yes, I’m sorry.” Qiu Mingquan looked at him anxiously, but his eyes were full of ecstasy, “I’ve been looking for you for a long time… Are you in a hurry?”

His palm was small, and he gently stroked the jade pendant, causing Feng Rui, who had no body, to suddenly feel a tingling sensation.

Then, he gently put the pendant that stayed in the snow all night on his chest and hid it in his shirt.

It was bitingly cold, but the back, which was stained with the blood of the two people’s previous lives, quickly warmed up.

In Feng Rui’s ears, there was a faint but clear heartbeat: “Boom… Boom!”

He suddenly realized that it was Qiu Mingquan’s heartbeat.

“I’m not going to lose you again. Not even in death.”

At that time, Feng Rui and Qiu Mingquan didn’t realize that this simple and unpretentious sentence, like a mantra and an oath, followed them for so long.

After splitting and rejoining, until the impermanent gear of fate rolled over again.

…Manager Qu broke through the crowd and walked in, staring at Zhao Decheng coldly: “The leader of the stationery team, isn’t he, he is so majestic and powerful.”

In the midst of winter, Zhao Decheng was almost sweating.

This is the general manager who just took office, and I heard that the higher-ups value him very much. There are three fires when a new official takes office, who knows where the fire will burn? …

Qu Yifei turned his head, and said kindly to Qiu Mingquan: “My little friend, if the mall really doesn’t sell you pens here, what will you do?”

The child in front of him looked at him with dark eyes: “You won’t.”

“Oh why?”

“Are you the big leader of the mall?” The real CEO Feng observed him with a naive and cunning expression, but the words he said were earth-shattering.

“First, you didn’t expressly say that you are not allowed to trade in your shopping mall, even if the police station asks, you won’t support it; second, as long as you are willing to fight and suffer without endangering the national economy and people’s livelihood, you can It’s not a mistake, on the contrary, it’s a necessary lubricant for the market.”

Wang Juan at the counter listened and spewed water out of the enamel cup.

–Ouch!

What are they talking about? It’s even better than what the big leaders of their shopping malls said at the New Year’s Day mobilization meeting!

Manager Qu opened his mouth slightly in shock, um… how old is this kid? Is it a thousand-year-old monster who has cultivated to become a master, or is it a family history?

With such a bunch of words, even calling him a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics can’t fault him!

After a long pause, he smiled.

He bent down himself, picked up all the pencil cases that had fallen on the floor, and put them in Qiu Mingquan’s schoolbag.

“Little friend, what you said is very good.” He turned his head and looked at Zhao Decheng calmly. “As long as they are customers of our commercial building, we will welcome them. I told you a long time ago that ‘serving the people’ is not a sentence.” Empty words, like you, don’t listen to the news, don’t learn the new spirit. Sooner or later, you will be eliminated by the times!”

Zhao Decheng’s face was flushed red, his calves were weak, but he didn’t dare to answer a word.

Qu Yifei looked at the two people in the security department again, with the same serious expression on his face: “As a comrade in the security department, he should know a little more about the law. This kid did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he bought something from this commercial building. In this shopping mall, you are more obliged to protect him, a small customer.”

Section Chief Li blushed: “General manager, I, we understand. I will definitely study hard next time!”

Manager Qu looked at Zhao Decheng, thinking that just now he and his old classmate had sworn to do a good job in management, and felt even more ashamed: “Such a young child knows to observe out of stock, as the leader of the stationery team, if you Be careful, shouldn’t you apply for the purchase earlier?”

Wang Juan stabbed without losing the opportunity: “We reported to the superior a few days ago that the Hero Gold Pen was selling well, and the team leader said we don’t need to take care of it.”

This Zhao Decheng, relying on his family’s relationship with the old leader, doesn’t respect them, the old front-line employees, Wang Juan has long been upset with him!

Manager Qu glared at Zhao Decheng again angrily: “For such a responsible salesperson, the award bonus is not allowed to be less than a penny. If you can’t do a good job, you will step down and make way!”

Zhao Decheng bowed his waist: “The leadership education is right! I know, I will definitely study hard!”

Qu Yifei smiled and patted Qiu Mingquan’s head again: “Little friend, don’t worry here, our boutique mall welcomes all customers, and you are welcome too!”

Parting the crowd, he walked towards his old classmate who was standing far away.

Behind him, Qiu Mingquan didn’t see Wei Qingyuan, and started to yell calmly again: “Uncles and aunts, take a look at these gold pens. Guaranteed to be genuine!…”

Zhao Decheng watched Manager Qu leave, feeling so angry that he was about to explode.

He picked up the landline in the counter and dialed the internal number: “Hello, Supply and Marketing Department? I’m the stationery counter! How’s the purchase of Hero gold pens? … What, all the goods will arrive in a week? Good!” ,That’s good!”

Throwing down the phone, he sneered, and squinted at Qiu Mingquan viciously: “Pay these peddlers to death!”

At this moment, several salespersons in the cabinet team were moved.

Dongshen City has always been the pioneer of the country’s economic trends and open-mindedness. The sensitivity to making money and wealth is the innate ability of many people in Dongshen City. Common people who lack vivid minds.

Wang Juan waved at Qiu Mingquan and called him over: “Xiaoquan, do you think Auntie treats you well?”

Qiu Mingquan nodded quickly: “Thank you, Aunt Wang, for taking care of me!”

This is not a polite remark, Wang Juan is not a mean person, whenever a customer bargains with Qiu Mingquan, she will help her by saying a few words: “Other shopping malls are also out of stock, and the whole country is out of stock!”

It is this simple truth, enough to retain some customers who wanted to try their luck in other shopping malls, and gritted their teeth to buy the gold pen in Qiu Mingquan’s hand. How could Qiu Mingquan not be grateful for this obvious kindness?

“You heard it too. Next week at the earliest, the 14K gold pen series will be fully available again. Be careful!” Wang Juan said worriedly.

Sitting in the children’s desks and chairs, a large group of parents looking forward to their children’s success, some were full of energy, while others were ashen-faced and forced to smile.

On the seat by the window, the corner of the middle-aged man’s mouth twitched slightly. Hearing that his youngest daughter’s name was listed among the top three in the grade, his smile almost overflowed.

His own child was so worry-free, not only did he have good grades, but he also wrote beautiful handwriting. For a moment, his heart was filled with tenderness, and when he looked at the back of the shadowy boy outside the school gate, his heart thumped.

Buy, buy, buy, after school later, let’s bring back a surprise for my daughter! …

It was winter in January, and the temperature was extremely cold. Qiu Mingquan stood in the winter sun at the school gate and licked his chapped lips.
