Chapter 350 What was erected was not a sign, but my father’s waist
The market street in a rural town is surrounded by messy shopping malls on both sides.
It’s high and low, and it doesn’t look very clean and tidy, but it’s full of a strong flavor of life.
Although every household now has a car, most of them are ordinary A-class cars costing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The elegant and luxurious silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class suddenly appeared on the streets of the town, naturally attracting a lot of attention and attention.
Soon, several familiar neighbors and shopkeepers gathered around, looking at this place with surprise and envy.
Rural areas are a relatively traditional social environment, and people have a relatively intuitive understanding of wealth and success.
Of course, this is also one of the marks of the times. After all, Hutouben had a profound influence in that era.
In the eyes of many of them, Daben is the standard equipment for rich people, and it is also a significant symbol of status.
For important occasions such as weddings, Mercedes-Benz is usually chosen as the first car.
"This is...Tang and Song Dynasty? I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I almost don't recognize you. Oh, you look so good like this!"
"Auntie, good morning."
"Xiao Song, I heard that you are developing in Yancheng, what are you doing now?"
"Starting a business, opening a live broadcast e-commerce company."
"Sister-in-law, is this your son's car? Good guy, he's already driving a Mercedes-Benz! It's incredible!"
“Hey, this kid from Tang and Song Dynasties is smart and talented, I’ve just watched him since he was a child!”
…
Xu Feng took her son’s arm and stood next to the Mercedes-Benz and chatted loudly with them, smiling with happy wrinkles on his face.
During a video chat before, I heard my son say that the company he partnered with was doing very well. It now has dozens of employees and even bought a car.
Although they know nothing about live streaming, women’s clothing, etc., they have also checked online and even asked some people, and they know that this industry is indeed very popular now.
They have no ability, and they have dragged their son down, and they have always felt guilty.
Now that I see my son’s high-spirited, tall and handsome appearance, I feel full of emotion and relief.
After all, most people come to the market because they have something to do, and they can’t just chat here all the time.
Li Ranran has turned off the live broadcast and stood obediently outside the store, looking directly in the direction of Tang Song.
“Pah——”
Sister Guo next to her slapped her on the butt and said angrily: “Don’t you look down on her? Isn’t it inappropriate? Do you regret it?”
Li Ranran shrank her neck and whispered: “ Mom, please keep your voice down!"
"Haha, now you know it's shameful?" Sister Guo said angrily: "You just made inappropriate remarks in front of my mother, but you offended her!"
Li Ranran's face turned red and he was speechless.
Who knew that Tang and Song would be like this after not seeing each other for more than half a year?
A rich, handsome man who starts his own business as a boss and drives a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
"You girl! Originally, I was thinking of asking Tang Song to introduce you to a job."
"Well... how about I apologize? After all, I am also doing live broadcasts now. Maybe Brother Tang Song needs me. Where is such a talent? "
Sister Guo gritted her teeth and said, "I don't see what talent you have!"
She really has no choice about her daughter. She has been squatting at home for more than two months, waiting to die every day.
Although the family does not lack the little money she earns, the fact that a college student who has just graduated has no ambition to make progress makes them very embarrassed in the village.
Many people behind the scenes have started spreading rumors.
It’s just a good opportunity to educate her.
Li Ranran whispered dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I am a beauty after all, right? It's not as bad as you said!"
Sister Guo nodded on her head, " If you have those little thoughts, why not ask others about their live broadcast experience? ”
She had often heard people say that so and so became Internet celebrities and how much money they made online, but because she was not someone close to her, she didn’t feel much about it.
At this time, seeing Tang and Song driving the Daben, I was naturally shocked.
It would be great if my daughter could also make a fortune from live streaming.
Looking at the calm, confident and talented Tang Song not far away, Sister Guo secretly said, "What a pity."
If I had such a son-in-law, I would be able to laugh out of my dreams.
It’s a pity that my daughter is really not worthy of others.
Everyone was busy at the entrance of the store for a while, saying a lot of nice things, and after making some insinuations about Tang and Song's current company and income, they dispersed with some unfinished thoughts.
However, the news about Tang Jianying and Xu Feng’s sons’ success in starting a business and driving a Mercedes-Benz spread unknowingly in a small area.
It has become the talk and envy of many people after dinner.
…
A small hardware store with a compact and orderly layout.
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, this place was more like a warehouse.
Various hardware tools are densely arranged on the shelves.
From screws, nuts, washers, to pipes and water and electricity materials, to some common daily necessities.
It can be said that everything is available, and the shelves have been expanded from the original 4 groups to 6 groups.
It can be seen that the parents run the business very carefully.
Tang Song withdrew his gaze, looked at his smiling mother, and asked, "Mom, where is my dad? Is he out to work?"
Hardware stores often provide door-to-door services.
For example, changing faucets, locks, etc.
My father had experience working in a decoration team before, and he was a good hand in this area, so he was able to support such a store.
“Hey, he went to find someone to pay for the debt. I think he will be back before noon.”
Tang Song asked in surprise: "What account?"
Xu Feng sighed helplessly, "Didn't you go to the house and spend more than 100,000 yuan? Your father has ambitions again. In order to get the job, he agreed to the decoration team from In our store, we can settle the goods once a month. As a result, the biggest customer is not trustworthy and just delays the payment..."
The biggest cost of the hardware store is to keep the goods. It will be even more uncomfortable if the customer continues to delay the payment.
If Tang and Song Dynasty had not invested a lot of money into their small business, they would definitely not be able to sustain it now, and they would not be able to replenish the goods.
But spending their son’s money to plug the hole was very difficult for the couple.
Tang Jianying, a father, was also afraid of being embarrassed in front of his son, so he ran over and blocked the door to demand payment.
Generally speaking, when things reach this level, it is basically considered a breakup.
In the future, the decoration team will definitely not come to their store to purchase goods.
At this moment, the smiling Sister Guo walked in with her daughter.
Li Ranran held her mobile phone in her hand and said shyly: "Brother Tang Song, I heard from Aunt Xu before that you were doing live streaming e-commerce, but I didn't expect it to be so successful now. I have been doing this recently, what is your company's account number? I'll pay attention and study hard in the future. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope you can give me some guidance."
Tang Song said cheerfully: "Yes, our company currently has 4 live broadcast accounts. The main account is [He Yiyi]. You can search it."
Having a knowledgeable Li Ranran here can also better let his mother know his current results, saving him the need to explain himself.
Hearing the three words "He Yiyi", Li Ranran's pupils trembled, and his voice was a little sharp: "He Yiyi? Is it the He Yiyi who sells women's clothing?"
"It should be the one you said." Tang Song had a faint smile on his lips.
Sister Guo was startled and said in surprise: "What's wrong Ran Ran? Is this account of Xiao Song Company famous?"
Xu Feng also showed a surprised look.
It has only been 4 months since my son started his business, but he is already so famous?
Li Ranran’s chest rose and fell violently, and he said excitedly: “Of course... you don’t know, He Yiyi was on the top of the Douyin hot list some time ago! The live broadcast room is super popular!
The main reason is that during the outdoor live broadcast, she met the top star Bei Yuwei..."
Then, Li Ranran quickly told what she knew about the situation.
Sister Guo and Xu Feng were stunned for a while.
Although they don’t know how to sell goods through live broadcast, they still watch TV series!
I have also watched the recent hit "Listen to the Rain" on TV.
When I heard that the anchors of Tang and Song Company actually met "Chu Ruolin" during the live broadcast, they were all shocked.
The hardware store was busy for a while.
Li Ranran looked at Tang Song with sparkling eyes and said in admiration: "Brother Tang Song, I didn't expect you to be so awesome now! I followed He Yiyi some time ago. The live broadcast effect and clothing evaluation are very good, and it definitely has the potential to become a big hit."
She has been studying this recently, and she knows very well what it means to have such an Internet celebrity IP.
"Then I'll borrow your good words from Ran Ran." Tang Song smiled, raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Mom, why hasn't my dad come back yet?"
"I'll call your dad and urge him to come back quickly." Xu Feng took out his cell phone with excitement and dialed directly.
The couple never expected that their son would quietly set up such a big stall.
Now I drive a Mercedes-Benz, and the company is still developing so well.
My heart is full of pride and excitement. I just want to call my husband back as soon as possible so that the family can celebrate and chat.
“Dududu——” The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.
"Old Tang, it's useless to buy him such a good new mobile phone. I can't find anyone at the critical moment!"
"Mom, don't worry." Tang Song stood up and said, "Do you know where my dad is? I'll pick him up and give him a surprise."
"At the agricultural machinery factory In the big yard opposite, the people from the decoration team usually stay there. He drove the electric tricycle there, so there is no need to pick it up. "It's okay. I'll leave mom and come back soon."
Tang Song waved and walked out.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, he actually missed his father.
With the roar of the engine, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class reversed and started flexibly, heading towards the agricultural machinery factory in the east.
Li Ranran, who was standing at the door, shook his phone vigorously and couldn't help but sigh again at the earth-shaking changes of the brother next door.
At the same time, it is inevitable that I feel a little disappointed.
…
The large yard made of red bricks was originally the office of a carton factory.
A bungalow with three sides, wrapping a factory building.
However, as the factory closed down in the past few years, this place became a large courtyard and was rented out sporadically.
There are some who do decoration, some who sell stainless steel, and there are also small restaurants and small shops.
In a house on the west side, there was smoke and endless noise.
The door and windows are wide open, and the two floor fans are blowing the air.
Several tall and thick-set men were sitting around a mottled brown desk playing cards.
The sound of cards falling on the table was particularly harsh.
After another game ended, Tang Jianying stood up from the bench, shook his head and said, "I won't play anymore. My son came back from Yancheng today and should be home soon."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and pressed it on the desk, "This is the list of goods you got from me before. Check it to see if there is anything wrong."
Huzi, who looked white, fat and tall, stood up and patted Tang Jianying's arm.
He said with a hearty smile: "Jianying, I really didn't mean not to pay you. Recently, the two decoration companies we cooperated with have delayed paying the final payment. I really can't make enough money. Wait until next month. We'll settle it together when the time comes."
Tang Jianying shook his head and said, "Huzi, you know what's going on in my shop. If everyone is in such trouble, there's no way it can continue."
He knew about Li Zhaohu’s situation. He had made a lot of money by working as a decoration team in the past few years, buying Audis and houses in the county.
Even if the decoration company drags him with the final payment, it won’t be impossible for him to come up with 20,000 yuan.
In the final analysis, it’s because I don’t take myself seriously.
I feel that even if I offend myself, it doesn’t matter. I can still use the money for capital turnover. With this delay, it will most likely be the end of the year.
Huzi took a puff of cigarette and said: "We have known each other for so many years, and we are still from the same village. I can still default on the debt, so don't worry."
Tang Jianying took a deep breath and said with some emotion: "Huzi, when you first came out to work, you still worked for me as a laborer. I also regarded you as a friend, so I let you delay for two months. You have to be conscientious."
"Pah-" Huzi threw the playing cards on the table casually, and his tone became colder, "Jianying, what can I do from you? Aren't you taking care of your business by taking the hardware? Shouldn't you thank me? Just because I have problems with capital circulation, you are scolding me for being heartless? "
"That's not what you do to take care of your business." Seeing the sharp attitude of the two, several people around them stood up and tried to persuade me.
"Huzi, Jianying, don't quarrel, don't quarrel, we are all our own people, keep talking to each other."
"Yeah, that's not necessary."
…
Although they work with Huzi, they are also from the surrounding villages and are acquaintances with Tang Jianying.
Among them is Tang Xianli, a cousin of the same clan.
He also found out through Tang Xianli that Huzi was not socializing today and was staying here.
Tang Xianli persuaded Tang Jianying a few words, and said to Li Zhaohu: "How about this, Huzi, you first give Jianying some money to make her family feel at ease. Jianying's family is also very difficult. His wife was sick and spent a lot of money before, and he just paid off the debt."
"Huh--" Huzi blew out a puff of smoke and put out the cigarette butt.
He curled his lips, took out his bag from the cabinet, took out a wad of cash and threw it on the table.
"Okay, this is 10,000 yuan, which is considered an advance for the last cycle. Write me a receipt."
Tang Jianying's lips squirmed, and she was about to say something.
Next to him, Tang Xianli tugged at him quickly and winked.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Jianying sighed and came to the table.
First I counted the money, then I picked up a pen and paper and wrote a receipt.
Putting 10,000 yuan into his pocket, Tang Jianying whispered: "Then I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Huzi also walked out, leaned against the door frame of the office, and said condescendingly: "Jianying, we have worked together for so many years, and you are still like this.
My two decoration teams can get hardware worth 10,000 yuan from you every month. If you do this, I will definitely not buy goods from your store in the future.
If you ask me, you are just too petty and do not know how to do business, so you are not getting involved now. ”
Tang Jianying paused in his steps, feeling a suffocation in his chest.
In the early years, he was a big worker in the construction team, and Li Zhaohu was a small worker under him.
So it is particularly pricking to hear him say such words now.
At this moment, a short and thick whistle sounded from the side.
Then, the shiny silver Mercedes-Benz stopped beside Tang Jianying.
The smooth body lines still exude a unique metallic texture under the cloudy light.
The streamlined body still shines with a low-key and luxurious luster under the dim light.
The car paint in the space-time silver color is new and bright, like a mirror, reflecting the somewhat dilapidated factory environment around it.
“Click——” The car door was pushed open casually.
Tang Song looked at his father in front of him and shouted loudly: "Dad."
His father, who was not yet 50 years old, already had a lot of white hair on his head.
Wearing a pair of unclean work clothes, years of hard work has made his back slightly curved, and his face has wrinkles criss-crossing it.
However, it can still be seen from the dignified and three-dimensional facial features that when he was young, he was also a handsome boy from all over the country.
Following his shout, Huzi and others who were looking over here were a little stunned.
"Xiao Song!? You..." Tang Jianying looked at her son in front of her, with a look of surprise and astonishment on her face.
Look at the silver dash next to you, and then look at your strong and tall son.
A big smile appeared on Tang Song’s face, “What’s wrong, dad, you don’t recognize me?”
"What a boy, you are really energetic." Tang Jianying came back to his senses and patted his son on the shoulder, smiling and said: "It's so strong, it's almost catching up with me when I was young, now I'm decent, I'm not as sloppy as before!"
" I have told you that I have been working out recently."
Then, Tang Jianying pointed to the Mercedes-Benz car next to him and said with some hesitation: "This car is..."
I heard from my son before that he wanted to drive a new car back.
It was still mysterious and did not tell them what kind of car it was.
But seeing the sudden appearance of the silver dash, he was not convinced.
Tang Song smiled and said: "The car I just bought is a Mercedes-Benz S450L, isn't it beautiful?"
The expression on Tang Jianying's face was stunned, and her eyelids trembled.
It turned out to be the car my son bought!
Looking at the majestic chrome grille, Tang Jianying walked to the car.
The luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan has a bright chrome grille that shines with metallic light, and the unique three-pointed star logo shines brightly.
Tang Jianying couldn’t help but reach out and touch the exquisite Mercedes-Benz logo on the front of the car.
The clear and solid metal texture made him feel excited.
Before he lost his job, he worked as a freight driver in a flour mill and knew a lot about cars.
At that time, the big boss of the factory drove a Hutou Ben.
Seeing this million-dollar luxury car from the Tang and Song Dynasties at this time, my heart was touched beyond words.
The corner of Huzi’s mouth, which was leaning against the door, twitched, and his expression changed.
Several people in the office looked at each other.
In their senses, this young man driving a Silver Mercedes not only has outstanding appearance, but also has a special aura.
There is a calm and unhurried temperament about him, which is fundamentally different from these people.
I just didn’t expect that he was Tang Jianying’s son.
Tang Xianli walked out quickly and looked at Tang Song in disbelief.
“Uncle Li, you are here too.” Tang Song greeted him with a smile.
This is a relative of this family, and he is also a neighbor. He can also be regarded as an elder who watched him grow up.
His son is also his childhood playmate, and the two families have always had a good relationship.
Tang Xianli swallowed and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Song, are you... coming back from Yancheng?"
"Well, I just came back not long ago, why don't you come to see my dad."
"I heard before that you started a business and became the boss. It's really awesome. Now you drive a Mercedes-Benz. Isn't this car cheap?" Tang Xianli rubbed his hands and spoke a little carefully.
“It’s not bad, the landing is less than 1.5 million.”
“Hiss~” A gasp of air rang out.
Tang Jianying was also shocked.
Although I roughly guessed the price, I still felt a little dizzy when I heard Tang Song say it with my own ears.
A 1.5 million luxury car would definitely be shocking in a small town like theirs.
Only some factory owners can afford it.
And these bosses are undoubtedly local upper-class figures.
Tang Song smiled, came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine.
He walked up to Tang Xianli and said, "Uncle Xianli, I happened to meet you here. I want to get you something."
Looking at him With Huazi and Maotai in front of him, Tang Xianli swallowed hard, "This...this...how embarrassing, thank you Xiao Song."
As he spoke, he took it carefully.
He couldn’t refuse something worth nearly three thousand.
And after so many years of smoking and drinking, he has never touched Huazi and Maotai.
As Tang Xianli took over the things, the way other people around looked at Tang Song and Tang Jianying changed again.
Through the open trunk, you can vaguely see boxes of tobacco and alcohol, all of which are Maotai and Zhonghua.
Huzi’s heart was ups and downs, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
After grinning, Huzi said in a dry voice: "Jianying, the difference of more than 10,000 yuan, I will transfer it to you on WeChat later."
After hearing his words, Tang Jianying took a deep breath and said with a strong voice: "Okay."
Tang Song took out the car key from his pocket and handed it to his father. He smiled and said, "Dad, don't you really like Mercedes-Benz and Audi? Do you want to drive it and see if what I bought is worth it."
His father's last job was a truck driver, and his driving skills were not good.
And I like cars very much. After work, I often talk about cars with my colleagues.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Jianying still couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to take it, "Then try it."
The texture is outstanding when holding it. After receiving the car keys, Tang Jianying straightened her back, turned around and nodded to Huzi and others, "Let's go first."
"Yeah, slow down on the road."
"Okay, brother Jianying."
Amidst a burst of farewells, Tang Jianying stepped to the driver's seat.
Opening the door, looking at the exquisite and luxurious interior, his face turned rosy.
“Bang!” “Bang!”
The door was gently closed, the engine sounded, the Mercedes-Benz S turned around in the open space and drove out of the rusty factory gate.
In the quiet carriage.
Tang Song softly communicated with his father about the car’s configuration and driving experience.
“The steering wheel is pointing really accurately, with almost no empty position! The chassis is also very solid!”
“With a displacement of 2.5L, A 6-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 367 horsepower... The optional meteor shower headlights are particularly cool when turned on at night. You can try it then...
Looking at the radiant old father of the main driver, Tang Song's eyes showed warmth and smile.
In his memory, his father has always been a very great and strong man, who supported their small family with his own shoulders.
And the long-term fatigue and flattery gradually broke my father's back.
Now that I have the ability, I naturally want to make my family live a better and more comfortable life.
With his current IQ and EQ, when he heard his mother’s narration, he immediately guessed the whole story.
Rural towns are not as peaceful and peaceful as they appear.
Many times, it’s even like a jungle.
If you are too low-key, you will be considered weak and can be bullied by some people with ulterior motives.
Not necessarily at any time, they will grin at you and tease you.
The necessary display of strength and display is to tell the other party that I am not easy to mess with.
