Chapter 290: The Profligate Merchant Bao Ran
Li Qinran walked into Li Mu's room holding a laptop.
The first thing I saw when I entered the room was the kitten squatting on the table reading a book. My eyes widened immediately: "Is Master Yogurt reading a book?"
"Ah."
Li Mu nodded and put away the yearbook that he had read many times.
"She can read? Can she understand it?"
“With illustrations.”
"You're reading so seriously." Li Qinran walked gently to the kitten and glanced at the book. "I always feel that Mr. Yogurt knows how to read and can understand it."
"She's very smart."
"Meow!"
The kitten, who was concentrating on reading, immediately responded to this statement.
Li Mu smiled slightly.
"I always feel that there is something mysterious about you and Mr. Yogurt." Li Qinran looked at Li Mu suspiciously.
"What's the matter with you?"
Li Mu looked at the laptop in his sister's hand and had a bad feeling.
"Oh."
Li Qinran walked to the bed and sat down, turning on the computer and saying, "You finally got it. Brother Nan likes the blue roses you gave him very much. He even said he wants to plant them."
"That's it."
"Yes, we have been video chatting just now."
Li Qinran clicked a few times on the computer, then turned to look at Li Mu, "Brother."
Li Mu's heart tightened.
five minutes later.
Li Qinran accepted the red envelope of two hundred yuan with satisfaction.
"Did you use the same trick to sell the photos to Brother Nan?" Li Mu looked at his sister helplessly.
"Well, Brother Nan will sell it first." Li Qinran was happy and closed the computer with a click.
"You are playing with fire."
Li Mu knew Brother Nan well, and fearing that his sister would get beaten, he warned her, "Although two hundred yuan is not a lot, using this method is equivalent to provoking Brother Nan. Be careful or she will beat you up when you meet her."
"one hundred."
"Ok?"
"I only charged Brother Nan one hundred."
"??"
Li Mu looked at his sister in astonishment, "Then why should I pay two hundred?"
"With lots of money, it's easy to cheat."
"."
Li Mu's heart aches.
Mid-afternoon.
Brother Nan called Li Mu out to play again.
The two of them rode their bikes while feeling the wind, pedaling a few times and then sliding a distance, and the wheel hubs made a crackling sound.
Suddenly, Brother Nan stepped on the brakes.
Li Mu thus passed Brother Nan, but then he braked and stopped, turned around and asked, "Why did you stop?"
Brother Nan pointed at the square by the roadside and said, "See? This is the photography exhibition held in the provincial capital a few days ago. The rankings have been announced. The winning works will be displayed here for three consecutive days. Bao Ran also got a ranking. Can you guess what place he got?"
Li Mu looked in the direction Brother Nan pointed.
There are two iron frame walls on the square, each of which is twenty meters long.
There are windproof and rainproof glass display cabinets hanging on the wall, with many photos hanging inside.
During the National Day photography exhibition, Li Mu knew that Brother Nan caught a cold because he went to the suburbs to play with his sister who was taking photos.
And Nan Ge also took two photos to participate in the competition. When she told me about it, she was very excited and seemed very confident, but she never mentioned it again afterwards.
Li Mu didn't dare to ask.
The two walked to the square to look for the photos taken by their sister.
Li Mu's eyes swept through the landscape photos, still life photos and photos of beauties, and he quickly found Li Qinran's work.
The rules of this photography exhibition are that each person can submit three photos.
My sister’s three photos are all on it, hanging in the display cabinet that ranks first in the photography exhibition. They are quite eye-catching.
One photo shows an old man sitting quietly on a bluestone slab. He has dark skin, wrinkles all over his face, deep eye sockets and a deep gaze. The sunlight shines through the leaves on his body, casting mottled shadows.
In one photo, several people of older generation are sitting together under a street lamp casting orange-yellow light, chatting and playing chess. One old man is bending over with his hands behind his back, watching quietly, while another is stretching out his hand as if giving instructions. There is also a grandmother sitting on a stool, holding her grandson and watching them play chess, with a simple smile.
There is also a photo of a stray cat in the living area.
"Bao Ran took great photos." Brother Nan said in a low voice.
"Yes."
Li Mu glanced at Brother Nan and almost blurted out to ask why he hadn't seen the photos she submitted, but fortunately she held herself back.
"If I had a SLR camera, I could also take photos like this!" Brother Nan said again.
Li Mu hesitated to speak.
Brother Nan turned his head and said, "Your expression is very interesting, isn't it?"
Li Mu remained calm and said, "No, I just want to ask if there is any prize money for this photography exhibition."
"Yes, the first place seems to be several thousand yuan."
"Oh, I see." The two of them admired the photos for a while and then rode away on their bikes.
Brother Nan took Li Mu to have a barbecue again.
Ten .
After Li Mu finished talking with Lao Li and his aunt, he took a shower and lay on the bed holding his cell phone.
Yogurt huddled quietly beside his shoulder, and he could feel a soft paw and a fluffy tail on the skin of his arm.
"Mr. Yogurt, don't look at me chatting." Li Mu turned his head and said to the kitten who was peering at the phone screen.
"Master Yogurt wants to see you chatting."
"You."
Li Mu felt helpless.
It is impossible to prevent a kitten from watching, no matter how much you say. If you say it too much, the kitten will tell you that other people's cats are like this.
"Why don't you talk to Brother Lan?"
When the cat saw him stop, he urged him, "Type quickly!"
"."
Li Mu shook his head and turned on his phone.
Li Mu: Don’t play games too late. Go to bed early. You have to get up early to catch the bus tomorrow.
Li Mu: Good night.
Jiang Daimao: Got it.
Jiang Daimao: You just fell asleep?
Li Mu: Yeah, I went to sleep.
Jiang Daimao: Good night then.
Li Mu: Yeah.
Li Mu turned off his phone, huddled down, pulled the quilt up to his neck, and turned to look at the kitten: "Good night, Master Yogurt too."
November 10th, morning.
The week-long 'Singles Youth Gathering' event has officially ended.
As one of the persons in charge of planning this event in the Provincial Organization Department, Wen Ting lay on the bed and looked through the photos she had received yesterday one by one.
She wanted to select the two most promotional photos and send them to the Provincial Propaganda Department, and she imagined that the social event that just ended would become popular throughout the provincial capital, and she would also become famous, so that she would not have to worry about the year-end selection.
This year's event was indeed a success.
In previous years, there would be some weird things happening more or less——
Some young people are not polite and respectful. They sign up randomly and cannot guarantee to take the registration seriously after signing up. Some even think that they have higher administrative positions and do not respect the rules of the event or the other party.
That is not the case this year.
"Dig the grass!"
Wen Ting suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes wide as bells.
Her good friend Li Qinran sent her two photos.
Wen Ting enlarged the photos and looked at them for a long time, then silently forwarded the two photos to her sister group and department group, and sent them to people in the Provincial Propaganda Department.
Caption: Promotional representative for this single youth networking event.
The department group started to make a fuss.
Then came the people from the Propaganda Department.
Wen Ting stared blankly at the messages scrolling in the group.
Both men and women expressed regret for not participating in the event and begged for introductions.
Wen Ting just watched silently without saying anything.
She was shocked in her heart, but she knew clearly that these two people were "connected" and no one else could match them no matter what.
Including herself.
After breakfast, Li Mu said goodbye to Lao Li, his aunt and his sister, and went downstairs carrying his bags.
Every bag was packed by my aunt herself, and I had to take one.
As he walked out of the community gate, Li Mu saw a slender figure squatting next to a small tree, playing with the soil on the ground with a wooden stick.
He slowed down his pace and walked over quietly.
"Brother Nan."
"!!"
"Scared you?"
".No!"
"Have you been waiting for me long?"
"Nonsense! Why are you so slow?"
"My aunt asked me to take too many things." Li Mu raised the bag in his hand.
"Pfft, you look like a migrant worker."
Nan Ge chuckled at his appearance and opened her suitcase, "Here, put it in my suitcase. My mother also wants to bring me a lot of food. I said you must bring a lot too, so my mother gave up."
"Ah."
Li Mu put the things into Brother Nan's big suitcase, leaving only a shoulder bag filled with yogurt on his back.
"Rough hair! Go to the high-speed rail station."
Brother Nan picked up the box and turned around gracefully.
