[Comprehensive] Wonderful urban daily life

After giving the business card, the man didn't say much, got on a bus, and recommended this pawnshop to Tang Qie before leaving.

After sending the man away, Tang Qie only felt that the business card in his pocket was extremely hot, which was like an omen, just like the peacock that Mr. Jiang received last month, a symbol of the beginning of an unusual life.

Really... let him go.

Now Tang Qi is walking on the road, looking at the passers-by on the side of the road, whether they are office workers in suits and leather shoes, or children dressed as students, modern and fashionable women who love beauty, all of them are question marks in Tang Qi's eyes.

They may be human beings, monsters in human skin, or unusual human beings.

After thinking so much, the work still needs to be carried out. Tang Qi took the bus to the Paradise Community. This time he just went to press the manuscript. Jiang Jun was indeed at home, and he did not call a fan group to play games, and he did not browse the forum. , and did not play the game of "Who am I or Qi Gongmei outside the city?", but he did not draw a draft.

Tang Qi also accurately grasped Mr. Jiang's weakness this time. The rookie contest is about to start, and the readers' attention will definitely be diverted. With a few cannon fodder characters, let the protagonist be tyrannical and cool, how can you continue to fight for the number one popularity in the future, and how can you challenge Yiduo?

After Jiang Jun heard this, he immediately swore to the lamp that he would hold on to his piece of land when the newcomer's work was published, and would never let them invade any grass or tree.

Tang Qie was very satisfied that he had aroused Mr. Jiang's fighting spirit. He nodded in satisfaction, and then returned to the magazine.

Regarding the business card, Tang Qi wanted to ask Lin Wanwan about it. After all, she had personally experienced the service of this pawnshop.But until the end of get off work, Lin Wanwan did not return to the magazine, but called Tang Qie and said that after running a cartoonist, it was almost time to read, so she planned to get off work and go to a friend's haircut, so she didn't plan to come back up.

As soon as Tang Qi heard the word haircut, he knew that Lin Wanwan must have gone to Le Pei's place, so he directly told Lin Wanwan to stay there and not to leave, and to find her if he had something to do.After hearing this, Lin Wanwan also agreed.

When he arrived at the "high tower", there were two customers inside, one was Lin Wanwan who was applying the potion, and the other was Xia Jue who was getting her hair cut.

It's only been a few days since I saw him. Xia Jue, who has become a male publicist, has a completely different image.

Before, he was at most a fresh-faced young man in a shirt with a clean smile, but now he is a well-dressed, trendy and stylish guy. The haircut that Le Pei gave him also suppressed his immaturity and made him a little more mature.

As soon as he saw him, Xia Jue greeted him with a bright smile in the mirror because he couldn't turn his head back: "Editor Tang!"

Tang Qi almost didn't recognize Xia Jue because of his image, "Xia Jue?"

"It's me."

Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing when she saw Tang Qie, "Even editor Tang thinks the changes have changed a lot. I'm starting to wonder what Xia Jue was like before."

Xia Jue waved his hand, with an expression of not wanting to mention the past: "The past is all in the past, it's all black history." This was the first time Lin Wanwan and Xia Jue met, and obviously the two had a pleasant exchange before. Fan.

Le Pei smiled and listened to their conversation, reminding Xia Jue not to move around from time to time, and to trim her hair carefully.

Lin Wanwan was very bored sitting by the side waiting for the effect of the potion. She was worried that she had nothing to do. It happened that Tang Qie came, so it was rare for her to greet Tang Qie warmly and sit down next to her, "Editor Tang, ask me to do it." what?"

"I have something to ask you." Tang Qi sat on the barber chair next to Lin Wanwan, and took out the business card of No. [-] pawnshop from his pocket and handed it to Lin Wanwan, "Have you seen this?"

Tang Qie found that when Lin Wanwan's eyes touched the business card, her eyes changed obviously. Lin Wanwan stretched out her hand uncharacteristically, and almost snatched the business card. The move that came to mind—she tore off the business card. "This thing shouldn't be taken!"

Lin Wanwan's speed was very fast, and she was also very thorough. She tore the business card into a pile of confetti, and it was impossible to tell that it was once a business card.

After tearing it up, Lin Wanwan was still agitated, she stared at Tang Qie and asked, "Is there any more?"

Tang Qi spread his hands, "It's gone."

Lin Wanwan took a deep breath. "That's good. Editor Tang, why did you have anything to do with it?"

Tang Qie told Lin Wanwan everything about the man he met, and Lin Wanwan said after hearing it: "If you guessed correctly, the person who gave you this business card is the owner of the pawn shop. .”

"That's him?" Thinking about it afterwards, this mysterious boss had successfully disguised himself, and Tang Qi had no impression of him except that he was dressed in black.

"Anyway, editor Tang, don't have any idea of ​​where to go." Lin Wanwan said solemnly, "There is no such thing as something for nothing, and there is the abyss of desire, which will lure you step by step into an irreversible end."

"I understand." Although Tang Qi took the business card, he didn't intend to go. He was very satisfied with his life, except for encountering strange people and things from time to time.

"That's good." Seeing Tang Qie's statement, Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: "I tore it up to prevent any accidents from happening. As long as you hold this business card and have any urgent desire in your head, you will I was taken to that pawnshop." Lin Wanwan recalled her experience when she went there, and she couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why this kind of shop exists is because of greed."

Le Pui, who had been listening in, couldn't help but interjected: "Who doesn't have something to be attached to?"

"I think this store is mainly supported by the greed of human beings." Lin Wanwan shrugged. They have such a good opportunity. Don't go, Editor Tang, you will become addicted if you go once."

It does sound appealing to be able to get more of what you dream of just by paying for something that may not be so essential to you.

"I know, I'm just curious why he found me."

"It's probably because you have something that interests him." Lin Wanwan said, "When they choose customers, they naturally choose to maximize their profits. The reason why they chose you is probably because you have something, or Through what you can get, this introduces the store to you."

"Is that shop really that magical?" Xia Jue asked abruptly, "Have you been there late at night?"

"I've been there once, it's really amazing, what's the matter, what do you want to do?"

"It's not me, it's for one of my customers." Like their public relations, if they want to maintain their performance, in addition to being considerate and attentive to customers at work, they also need to use some means to win over their regular customers in their spare time. "My guest is a bit special." Xia Jue told them the guest's story.

"I haven't met such a special guest so far. This is the first time for her. This guest is actually not very old, only about thirty, with long hair, and likes to wear a scarf. The scarf covers the neck and mouth. They were tightly surrounded together, and even when we were chatting with me in the store, the scarf was never taken off. I didn’t know what she looked like until she left. Why is she so talkative? I tried every means to find a topic with her, but it was useless. I think the guest might have encountered some depressing things and wanted to be quiet by himself, so he stopped talking later.

When we got off work and I was going to go back, as soon as I left the store, I saw the customer standing at the intersection, as if waiting for someone, because it was already midnight at that time, and I thought it might be a little unsafe for girls to be outside. So I went over to talk to her, and the guy just asked me, do you think I'm pretty?Then I didn't even see her face clearly, so I said that although I couldn't see clearly, in terms of temperament, this guest should be very beautiful, right?

As a result, after I finished speaking, she took off her scarf after a while. Only then did I realize that the reason why she wore a scarf all day was because there was a slit from her mouth to the base of her ear, or bloody.She took out a pair of very sharp scissors from her pocket and smiled at me, but because of the problem with her mouth, the corners of her mouth couldn't rise at all. She asked me, what about now? "

Xia Jue stopped here on purpose.

Lin Wanwan couldn't help asking: "Then what do you say?"

"Me?" Xia Jue smiled at the mirror, his eyes were extraordinarily sincere, "That's what I said, she really is a very temperamental woman." After speaking, he blinked his eyes.

"And then what?"

"Then the customer put away the scissors and put on the scarf again, and he became a regular customer of mine."

After Lin Wanwan listened to it, she was in admiration.

And Tang Qie was completely in a state of "fucking shit". Xia Jue entertained this not an ordinary guest at all, she was a girl with a gaping mouth!

The Gap Girl has become his regular customer...

I really don't know whether it should be said that Xia Jue's ability is too strong, or that the gap girl lives under more pressure as an urban legend monster...

"So, I want to recommend this pawn shop to my client, maybe she needs it?"

Lin Wanwan held a different opinion: "I think if you really want to be good for your customers, then don't do it. It's not a good place."

In short, the inquiry about the No. 2 pawn shop has come to an end for the time being. It is not a good result to have the business card torn up by Lin Wanwan, but Xia Jue said before Tang Qie left that he has already achieved No. [-] there, as long as he reaches the top Immediately come to Tang Qie for advice.

Tang Qi, on the other hand, had an inexplicable liking for that NO, 1 who could overwhelm Xia Jue.

In the next few days, the Amway activities related to No. [-] Pawnshop did not start, Tang Qie still went to work very regularly, and the shortlisted works of the newcomer comic contest also entered the final stage.

It was not Tang Qie's turn to go for the final selection, but the editors of major comic magazines, several senior cartoonists, and a few people in the industry jointly elected. Oh my god, according to other editors, the four selected works will be preliminarily promoted in the next month's magazine, and posters will be published.

The sudden rush of time has something to do with the fact that other magazines have followed suit and held competitions.

When Anxin was preparing for the monthly issue in September, Tang Qie suddenly received a call from Ye Xiao. Tang Qie thought that Ye Xiao was telling him to get the manuscript of the four-frame comic.In the end, Ye Xiao asked for leave with him.

"Editor Tang... I have something to do here... I don't have time to draw the manuscript..." Ye Xiao's voice sounded very tired and hoarse, as if after staying up all night.

Tang Qie immediately heard something wrong in Ye Xiao's voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"

He noticed that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, and he only heard Ye Xiao say solemnly: "My roommate Luo Xuexue, yesterday... passed away..."
