After a while, the money was still in my hands, and she looked at me from a place not far away, tired, and said angrily, "Michael, you bastard." I really don''t have any money, you took it all, you want me to drink the northwest wind! There''s still money from me selling clothes, and you also have the face to take it? ”
"I learned from you, and I grabbed it."
"There''s a lot of money in the bank, why don''t you rob it. Bullying me as a little girl who has run out of ammunition and food, only a beast like you can do it! ”
I ignored her. She said indignantly: "You go and rob Ye Zhi, she has a lot of money." Do you dare to rob it, you have been cowardly for a long time when you see people, and you will bully an honest person like me! “
Yang Sisi couldn''t handle me, she sat down on the steps beside her, not mentioning the matter of robbing money. This sudden change made me very uncomfortable, I tentatively took two steps in front of her, and asked, "This is the money you saved your life in Dali, are you really going to ask for it?" ”
"Don''t want it, I''ll buy steamed buns and feed them to the dogs."
I smiled, then put the handful of odds back to her and said, "I''m kidding you." You can get the money back, but you have to save some money, and think about how hard we worked today to sell a few clothes! “
Yang Sisi glanced at me, as if he was afraid that I would regret it, so he hurriedly grabbed the money into his hand and said to me, "You still have a little conscience." ”
I took a puff on my cigarette and looked at her, wanting to say something, and I didn''t think of a reason to trick her into going to the restaurant. At this time, Yang Sisi suddenly patted my arm again, and said to me with a trace of indescribable joy: "We''re going to sell clothes tomorrow, okay?" I''ll share it with you, and I won''t let you do it in vain, what do you think? ”
"It''s not good, I think it''s boring to live like this."
"Didn''t you come to Dali just to make a living?"
I had nothing to say, and then took another puff of cigarette to hide my uneasiness. In a short silence, the mobile phone rang again, this time it was not Lao Huang, but the first friend I met after coming to Dali, Tie Nan.
I thought he was calling me back for a drink, and I didn''t want him to say to me seriously, "Michael, you don''t have a job on your hands, buddy?" ”
I was a little muttering, how does this guy know what kind of work I can do? Confused, I asked, "What job?" ”
Tetsuo explained: "A team has just found Ma Gui and asked them to take a set of promotional photos, which are actually wedding photos. Because many tourists come to Dali to take wedding photos, their cars are rented to these tourists, so they want to make some materials for publicity. They have no other requirements, just to find two models with good image and good temperament to shoot a set of wedding photo materials. As soon as I pondered, I don''t need cheap outsiders for this matter, the girl who is with you today is very suitable. If you promise, give you three hundred for each of you, just for one morning, which is not much better than you going to sell clothes! “
"What do you mean, I and Yang Sisi filmed together?"
Tetsuo replied affirmatively, "Yes." But don''t get me wrong, it''s not about affirming your image. This promotional photo mainly emphasizes the role of the bride, you are a foil, and basically does not give you a close-up. ”
"Ri, I''m such a talent, what''s wrong with giving a few close-ups!?"
Tie Nan laughed, and said: "Then the matter is settled, tomorrow at seven o''clock in the morning, we will start work on time." ”
I raised my doubts again and asked, "Isn''t Director Ma singing in a bar, is it reliable to engage in photography?" “
"In Dali, who doesn''t have a few unique skills! Don''t worry, his stinky feet can''t hide his talent, this is a buddy with real talent and real learning. ”If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
After finishing the call with Tie Nan, I set my eyes on Yang Sisi, and in her guarded eyes, I said, "My friend took a job, three hundred yuan in the morning, and I took care of the meal at noon." ”
Yang Sisi replied in disbelief: "Is there such a good thing? 300 yuan for half a day, and I take care of the food."
"Yes, it''s very simple, it''s to take a few sets of promotional photos for the team here as a model." I wanted to say something and stopped.
Yang Sisi asked impatiently: "Don''t you spit out, what type of propaganda photos are you?" ”
"That''s it, that''s the golden photo for the young couple to see."
Yang Sisi understood the second, she pointed at herself, and then pointed at me, and asked, "So you mean, we both took this promotional photo." ”
I was afraid that if she didn''t agree, my calculation would fail, so I hurriedly said: "Everyone talks about professional ethics and has the ability to distinguish between art and reality." ”
Yang Sisi glanced at me and replied, "If I agree, it won''t count as selling my hue for money, right?" I don''t know why, if you do something with someone like you, you can''t think about art. ” 。 Look at you from head to toe, where can you connect with art? ”
I took out my phone and used it on the screen, and then replied with a sincere pleading: "It''s not artistic, do you want to make some money to spend?" ”
"Seeing that you are so self-aware, I took this job, but I have to state in advance, your salty pig hands had better not be left around, I am still a good woman with ice and jade, and I can''t be soiled by a beast like you. ”
"Understood, I promise not to put it where it shouldn''t."
Yang Sisi suddenly asked again: "Where are you going to eat tomorrow, it won''t be a box lunch, right?" ”
Lao Huang hadn''t given me any news yet, so I didn''t know where it would be, so I replied in a roundabout way: "Making money to save your life is a big thing, eating is a small thing, just listen to their arrangements when the time comes." However, I heard that the team has money, and the specifications of the meal should not be too far behind. ”
Yang Sisi saw a very comfortable smile, then closed his eyes and opened his arms, and said with a full of understanding: "Here, there are different things to do every day, meet different people, and if you don''t do your job, you won''t starve to death!" It''s so nice to live in one city and want to see the whole world! ”
I didn''t dare, I set my eyes on her, and I didn''t dare to open my eyes. I knew what was going to happen tomorrow, but she didn''t. I''m imagining what will happen to her tomorrow when I act as a helper and shatter her dreams with my own hands. And after she was forced to leave Dali, will I still have the grief of a rabbit and a fox?
After sitting for a while, Yang Sisi proposed to start again, because she had to get up early tomorrow, and she had to recuperate for tomorrow''s work. I don''t know how she lived in Shanghai, but I really saw in her at this time, she is a young girl who will not have the seriousness of life, which may be the unique environment of Dali that stimulates her. But the more this happened, the more guilty I felt.
Back in the dormitory, Director Ma was sitting in the courtyard wiping his camera with a towel, while Tetsuo was sleeping on a recliner staring at the sky in a daze, the ashtray at hand was already stuffed with cigarette butts, which seemed to be crying, saying that the decadent man had killed them in a particularly unseemly way.
I moved a chair and sat down next to Tie Nan, and then said, "If these cigarettes have the ability, they will definitely slap you, you see that there is no one alive in this pack of cigarettes, are you going to punish the nine clans?" ” ?”
Tetsuo took a cigarette very happily and replied lightly: "We hurt each other and enjoy the pleasure of being abused by each other. When I suck them, they don''t kill my offspring, it''s billions. ”
I was stunned for a moment before I realized. This guy is really a prodigal person, and I can only say that "smoking is bad for my health", and I almost forgot that I am also an old smoker.
Tie Nan opened another box of cigarettes, then took out a braid and gave it to me, I lit it, and said to him: "Today I thought about the matter of opening an inn again, and I think it is a good time, because the positive policy is not clear, there will be obvious innkeepers to get rid of, and the transfer price will definitely be lower than the market price." Taking over at this time is equivalent to buying the bottom. When the policy is clear, the inn will resume business one after another, and I won''t make money. ”
Tetsuo sat up from his chair, looked at me with an extremely keen gaze, looked at me for a while, and said, "What if the policy becomes tighter then?" What would you do if the government controls the number of inns after this rectification? ”
"It''s impossible not to take a little risk in this matter, I came to Dali to open an inn."
"Dude, I still advise you to be cautious, if you can''t do it, you can consider finding someone in the ancient city to take over, don''t touch the Arabian Seaside."
I answered, then took a deep puff of my cigarette. The newborn in my heart may have a little sense of crisis, as if as long as money is involved, living in any city will not be particularly easy.
At this time, I am a little envious of Yang Sisi''s mentality of coming to Dali, it seems that her mentality can easily refute her into the most interesting life. However, thinking about it deeply, she has such capital, even if she has been dangling for two or three years, she will still be a daughter after returning to Shanghai.
And me? I can''t escape at all, I came to Dali just to live better than before, with such a purpose, I can''t completely abandon the word "struggle" from my life.
, I really can never be a pure Dali person, I may still have the genes of living in Shanghai in my bones!
