Chapter 25 Chapter 25
Zhang Haocheng returned all the deposit money to his classmates.
The students didn't understand at first.
Zhang Haocheng didn't hide anything, and told them directly: "I bought the figure in Virgo, a 6888."
"It turned out to be a Virgo! Didn't you say it was a pirated copy?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, this is all a misunderstanding, and it's my fault..."
Except for a few wealthy families who insisted on ordering after hearing the price, everyone else died when they heard 6888 one.
But Zhang Haocheng also told those students who still want to continue to make reservations, and told them to go to Virgo to buy it by themselves.
As a result, the students who called to order found that if they went to Virgo to buy it by themselves, it would cost [-] each, and there was no discount.
Zhuang Xingchen and the others were also a little confused.
It turns out that 6888 is really cheap.
If you think about it carefully, the 1.3-meter-high figure is made of high-quality materials, and it will never deform or fade.
So, the six boxes of skeleton figures that had just been delivered to Z University were sent back intact.
Zhang Haocheng originally wanted to send back the one that Xingchen gave him, after all, it was too expensive, and he also knew that Zhuang Xingchen was not a rich man.
But the act of returning a birthday present is sure to embarrass the giver even more.
Zhang Haocheng could only bear with it, there was only one secret way anyway, and he made up for it by inviting Xingchen to eat more feasts in the future.
Virgos seldom sell figurines, and seldom encounter returns. The clerk is a little embarrassed: "Student, the payment for this batch of goods has been settled. If you want to return the goods, the amount is relatively large. You may have to ask our boss."
"What? It's settled?!"
Everyone looked at Zhuang Xingchen together.
What is your uncle's background?
Just give a few million?
Only six of these goods were delivered!Why pay so quickly? !
Your family is so rich? !
Zhuang Xingchen: "...I'll make a phone call."
Zhuang Xingchen looked at the time, and it happened to be the recess time, so he called Zhou Nan, briefly explained what happened, and asked Zhou Nan to ask his uncle to return the product.
On this side, Wen Moqi also received a complaint call from the owner of the figure shop.
"Wen Moqi! What do you mean? I said that I won't take orders, but you said you don't want to disappoint your children. Okay, I see that you have a rare cycad tree blooming. I feel sorry for you once. I took the order and hired several employees overnight. , Now you actually say you want to return it?"
Wen Moqi: "I didn't say I would return the product."
"Customers have all come to my door, and they are in my store, saying they want to return the product."
"In your shop?"
"nonsense!"
"..."
Have the stars gone?
Wen Moqi understood why he wanted to return the goods.
He rubbed the space between his eyebrows, he specially asked the figure owner to pack it in a box without a logo, just because he didn't want Zhuang Xingchen to know how much it was.
It turned out that the person was fine, so I went directly to the store, and I don't know how to find out.
Wen Moqi was a little helpless: "He thought it would only cost more than 300."
"How is it possible! I have worked hard for a week to polish the figurines by hand, and I have never paid 1000 yuan!"
Wen Moqi briefly explained the cause and effect.
The owner of the figure laughed wildly after hearing this: "Fuck hahaha! You still have this kind of operation, I didn't expect you to have such a day! Speaking of which, I heard from the clerk that the customer is waiting to return the product in the store, and there will be no Is that the one you saw?"
Wen Moqi was a little displeased: "What do you want?"
Figurine Boss: "Of course I want to see what kind of legendary character can win the boss's heart. If I hang up, I'll go and have a look."
Wen Moqi wanted to say something else, but the phone was already hung up.
He thought of the imbecility of the figurine boss, if he talked too much in front of Xingchen...
Wen Moqi stood up: "Xiaoqiu, prepare the car."
Zhuang Xingchen and the others were actually very worried that the boss would not refund the order.
However, the clerk's attitude has always been very good. After calling the boss, he came back and said to them: "You can take a break, the boss said that he will come to talk to you."
Zhang Haocheng and the others looked at Zhuang Xingchen.
Zhuang Xingchen nodded: "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After sitting for about 15 minutes, the clerk suddenly said, "Student, our boss is here."
They looked up and saw a long-haired man in a windbreaker walking in.
The man was tall, with an aquiline nose, and a pair of very sharp eyes. He had a domineering appearance, but there was a kind smile at the corner of his mouth, which made it hard to feel his strength.
"Hello." The figurine owner said with a smile, "I am the owner of this store, Chus."
Zhuang Xingchen and the others got up and shook hands with him one by one.
Chus led them to the living room, his gaze passed over the four of them calmly, and then settled on the young man at the front.
Although the boy had no expression on his face, the facial features on that face were excellent.
Chu Si has made too many figures, and he has always been very accurate in the proportion of facial features. When he sees a good-looking character, he can't help but want to pinch a doll to admire it. The young man in front of him gave him this urge.
And he found that the young man was obviously the backbone of the four.
Chu Si smiled and asked: "I heard from the little girl in the store that some students want to return the goods, right? I remember that my order seems to be for the students of Z University, and they are all at a [-]% discount. No, I don’t know if you are not satisfied with our product, or there is something bad about the quality, so you want to return it?”
The boss also seemed to be very talkative, which made Zhang Haocheng and the others slightly relieved.
Zhuang Xingchen shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the quality. It is our own reason to want to return the product."
Ji Cheng and others nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, the quality is very good! It's our problem!"
Chusi said with a smile: "If the quality is good, it is generally not allowed to return the product."
Hearing this, Ji Cheng and the others froze, looked at each other, and pulled Zhuang Xingchen's arm with all their strength.
Zhang Haocheng quickly said: "Boss, I'm really sorry. We misunderstood at first, thinking that we only need more than 300 yuan to purchase so much at once..."
Chu Si smiled: "If it's about money, you can rest assured that the money has been paid."
"But that was paid by Uncle Xingchen, not by us. We can't just give Uncle Xingchen more than 300 yuan..."
"Oh?" Chu Si raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Zhuang Xingchen: "Wen Moqi is your uncle?"
Zhuang Xingchen nodded subconsciously.
Suddenly it occurred to him that he was not Zhou Nan now.
Uncle is naturally not his uncle, he... Apart from his father, he has no family members who treat him so well.
Zhuang Xingchen ignored the disappointment in his heart, shook his head again, and said, "It belongs to my friend."
"You mean Zhou Nan?"
"Ah."
"I see."
Chu Si stroked his chin, then glanced at Zhuang Xingchen again, feeling certain in his heart.
This should be the guy Wen Moqi has his eyes on.
"Then since it's my own, it's another misunderstanding. Fortunately, I haven't started making the list yet, so I'll refund it for you."
Everyone was overjoyed, Liu Shan pulled Ji Cheng and the others up, and bowed to the boss: "Thank you, boss! Thank you so much!"
Chu Si waved his hand: "You're welcome, then go to the clerk for a refund."
"Go right away! Thank you boss!"
Zhang Haocheng pulled Zhuang Xingchen to run outside.
Chu Si's voice came from behind: "Xiao Zhuang Xingchen, let's sit down and talk?"
Zhuang Xingchen looked at Ji Cheng and the others, then nodded: "Go and do it, I'll wait for you here."
After his roommate left, Zhuang Xingchen sat back on the chair.
Chu Si poured him a cup of tea, Zhuang Xingchen said 'thank you' and obediently drank it.
Chu Si secretly sighed: He is polite, he is also a top student in Z University, and the most important thing is that he looks good, and the proportion of his facial features is simply perfect.
No wonder Wen Moqi would suddenly bloom.
Chu Si wanted to give Wen Moqi an assist, and wanted to make Wen Moqi feel good, so he said meaningfully, "Wen Moqi treats you very well?"
Zhuang Xingchen nodded: "Yes."
He is the best elder to him besides his father.
Although many times, he enjoys these favors as 'Zhou Nan'.
So sometimes, after exchanging with Zhou Nan, he is actually a little happy.
Because after becoming Zhou Nan, he can eat the cake specially brought back by his uncle and accept his concern for him.
Zhuang Xingchen lowered his eyes.
But he is not Zhou Nan after all.
Chu Si: "Hey, this is really strange. Wen Moqi and I have known each other for so many years. This man is vicious and narrow-minded. I have never seen him treat anyone well."
Zhuang Xingchen frowned, feeling that this man seemed to be trying to hear about his uncle.
"It's not surprising." He argued, "Maybe you just haven't seen it."
"Is that so?" Chu Si nodded seriously: "That may be my misunderstanding."
"Ah."
Seeing that Zhuang Xingchen was quite protective of Wen Moqi, Chu Si thought it was a bit of a joke, so he said again: "This time, Moqi paid me more than 200 million yuan to buy a figure, but he told you that it only costs more than 300 yuan. I think it's expensive, and he really puts his heart into it."
Chu Si felt that he was really good. He felt that such a word of "hard work" should be able to fill up his favor in an instant!
Looking at Zhuang Xingchen again, he really nodded seriously, his eyes were touched, there was... huh?envious?
What does he envy?
Zhuang Xingchen was naturally envious of Zhou Nan. When he went to Wen Moqi to buy a figure, he used Zhou Nan's body.
So Uncle Wen's intentions are naturally also because Zhou Nan is his nephew, so he is attentive.
Moreover, he was happy for Zhou Nan.
He felt that Zhou Nan should really go and have a good chat with Uncle Wen.
Uncle Wen's concern for Zhou Nan is not fake, so good that even he can see it.
Maybe it really has nothing to do with the death of Zhou Nan's parents.
Besides, this is what Zhou Nan's father asked Zhou Nan to do before his death.
Zhou Nan's father believed in Uncle Wen, so he asked his favorite son to communicate with him.
He believed that Zhou Nan's father would not harm his son.
Chu Si hesitated: "Don't you think it's a bit strange for a man to care so much about another person?"
Zhuang Xingchen was puzzled: "Is it strange that uncle is nice to his nephew?"
People say that nephews look like uncles, nephews and uncles are always closer, right?
Chus: "...?"
Aren't we talking about Wen Moqi and you?
What about his nephew Zhou Nan?
The communication failed, and it happened that Zhang Haocheng and others came back after finishing the return procedure.
Zhuang Xingchen stood up and said goodbye.
Truss personally escorted the people to the store door and watched them go.
I still can't figure out why it was all about Zhou Nan.
After leaving Virgo, Ji Cheng still had some lingering fears: "Fortunately, the boss is easy to talk and is willing to return the goods, otherwise this time I will really lose money!"
Buy more than 6000 yuan and sell it for more than 300 yuan. This is not how rich people do business.
"Yes." Zhang Haocheng also touched his chest and said, "Fortunately, it's Uncle Zhou Nan's friend. I thought it was Xingchen's uncle at first, but it turned out to be Zhou Nan's. Uncle Zhou Nan is so kind!"
"For such a big order, only one of us can return it. After all, the quality is fine." Liu Shan said, "But Xingchen, you still have to tell Zhou Nan later to tell his uncle not to do this again. Even if we have money, we can’t take such expensive things in vain.”
"Well, I'll tell you."
The four of them walked out of the mall easily and decided to take a taxi back to school.
At this moment, a hurried voice came from behind: "Stars!"
Hearing this voice, Zhuang Xingchen's body froze slightly.
But Ji Cheng and others have already turned their heads.
The one who called Zhuang Xingchen was a good-looking woman who was somewhat similar in appearance to Zhuang Xingchen.
It was Zhuang Xingchen's mother, Mrs. Zhuang, Zhan Xuelian.
Zhan Xuelian called Zhuang Xingchen several times, but no one answered.
But he had seen the courier boy's tricycle before, it was going to this shopping mall, it happened to be not far from the place where she saw Zhuang Xingchen just now, so he simply came up to try his luck.
Sure enough, she was waiting.
She has visited this mall a few times, and some of the shops have very expensive clothes.Xu Jiahao didn't give her much pocket money, and she wanted to buy it occasionally, so she could only grit her teeth and buy a set.
Seeing his son going in and out of this mall now, he thought that Zhuang Xingchen was also here to buy things.
Zhan Xuelian looked at Zhuang Xingchen's group first, and seeing that they didn't have any shopping bags, she smiled and said, "Xingchen, I didn't expect to see you here. Mom just thought I saw the wrong person."
This person is Xingchen's mother?
Zhang Haocheng and others hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Auntie, we are classmates Xingchen."
Zhan Xuelian looked surprised: "You are all Xingchen's classmates? Hey, it's rare to see Xingchen playing with his classmates. This kid has always been withdrawn, and few classmates can stand his temper."
Zhang Haocheng:?
No, it sounds a bit weird.
Before they could think too much, Zhuang Xingchen said, "You guys go back first."
Zhang Haocheng and the others looked at each other, they met their mother, and they should be with their mother, so they said hello to Zhan Xuelian, and the three of them left first.
As soon as the three of them left, Zhan Xuelian spoke with a sad voice: "Xingchen, mom called you several times just now, but you didn't answer."
Zhuang Xingchen took out his phone and looked at it, and found that he had pressed the mute button at some point, so he didn't hear it.
"Sorry." Zhuang Xingchen said, "It's not that I didn't pick up on purpose, it's that I didn't hear it."
Zhan Xuelian smiled: "Of course mom doesn't blame you for this, but why didn't you call mom during this period of time?"
Zhuang Xingchen pursed his lips and did not speak.
Zhan Xuelian lowered her voice: "Last time you hit Xu Yi, mom was waiting for you to come and apologize to mom, but you didn't either."
Zhuang Xingchen: "But I'm not wrong."
Zhan Xuelian's eyes widened, her eyes were full of sadness, she looked shocked: "How can you say that, do you know how hard your mother's life in Xu's family is because you beat Xu Yi? Anyone can do it." Come to bully your mother... Xu Yi would listen to me before, but now even he has started to hate me. If you didn't beat him that day, but gave him the place, mom wouldn't have worked so hard."
Zhuang Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at his mother: "What will happen after I give it to him? What should I do?"
Zhan Xuelian said: "You are only in the third year of college. Don't you study medicine? What can you learn in five years? It's not too late to take the exam after you graduate."
Zhuang Xingchen: "I went there for an internship, it doesn't conflict with my studies, and I have a teacher to guide me, so I can learn more than I can learn in school."
Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to continue to work on projects with professors after graduation.
Otherwise, why would Xu Yi even want it?
"Have you started to refute me now?" Zhan Xuelian's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled down her face: "When your father left, your mother worked nearly [-] hours a day to pay back the money and pay for your education. For hours, I have delivered food and set up a night market, and I dare not stop for a moment, I have worked so hard to raise you up, do I want to harm you?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Xingchen slowly pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Of course he remembers.
He remembered how his mother was molested by disgusting men when she set up a stall in the night market, and how she had worked so hard to deliver more than a dozen takeaways, but she hadn't received the money yet, and she broke down and cried because she was deducted a lot of money for a bad review.
He remembered it all.
"Now that you have grown up and have your own ideas, don't you care about your mother anymore? Mom has such a difficult life in Xu's family, don't you care? Mom finally found her own happiness again, and she has a new life. In life, you don't support mom at all, do you?"
"I don't." Zhuang Xingchen clenched his fists slightly: "I study well, and I have a scholarship. I will go to work, I will make money, and I will work hard to make money for you. The Xu family treats you badly, so you can leave, I am not I can't afford to support you."
"What do you know!" Zhan Xuelian's voice suddenly became louder and sharper: "How can the little money you earn be enough? Do you know how realistic this society is? With the little money you earn, can you afford a house?" How much money can you have left after paying the rent?! Do you have a relationship? In this society, if you don’t have relationships and connections, you can’t do anything! Anyone can bully you!”
At the end, her voice changed from shrill to hoarse: "Have you forgotten how your father died?! It's because we're okay! Something happened on the construction site, and they said it was your father, the contractor, who didn't operate properly. It caused an accident to the workers and made your father lose money! But what about the fact? It is obvious that their safety measures are not in place! But what can you do? It is your father who should lose money!"
"Your dad came to ask the boss for money, but the boss sent someone to perfuse him and beat him! Your dad was beaten to death! What happened? What did the forensic doctor say? He said that your dad was sick, and that your dad was sick on his own." Sudden death! Don’t you know if your father is sick? He is in such good health, how could he be sick? They just see us orphans and widows as easy to bully, because we didn’t give money to the forensic doctor, so the forensic doctor helped them speak , don’t help us!”
"Mom." Zhuang Xingchen pursed his lips and said, "Sudden death doesn't happen to people who are sick. It's a kind of..."
"Shut up!" Zhan Xuelian panted with anger: "You are capable now, and you actually speak for those bad guys? Have you forgotten how we came here for so many years?! How did I give birth to you such a heartless person? guy!"
"Snapped"
In a fit of rage, Zhan Xuelian slapped him across the face, and the sharp nails left a deep five-fingerprint on his face.
Zhuang Xingchen stared in a daze, the burning temperature on his face reminded him that his mother really hit him.
After this slap, Zhan Xuelian realized what she had done, and was also stunned.
She looked at her hands, trembling slightly.
"Xingchen, mom... Mom didn't do it on purpose. Mom loves you..."
Zhuang Xingchen touched his face, but did not speak.
Zhan Xuelian didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore, tears kept flowing.
After standing relatively silent for a while, Zhan Xuelian suddenly covered her mouth and stumbled away.
Zhan Xuelian walked for quite a while, but Zhuang Xingchen still stood there without moving.
The people outside the mall came and went, and the hustle and bustle seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The footsteps seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and I couldn't lift them up at all.
As if he is like this, no one will care, and his efforts are not important.
Because no one needs it.
Zhuang Xingchen lowered his eyes and let go of his clenched hands, as if he had returned to the dark abyss.
On that dark road, there seemed to be a voice coming from behind.
"Stars."
Zhuang Xingchen didn't move, he couldn't tell if he was hallucinating for a while.
Until one hand was placed on his head, the voice was low and displeased: "What are you doing standing here all this time? The sun is so bright, it's sweating all over your forehead!"
Not auditory hallucinations.
Zhuang Xingchen slowly raised his head and met Shangwen Moqi's gaze.
He moved his lips, as if he wanted to call 'uncle'.
But the man took a step ahead and walked out with his arms around his shoulders: "Get in the car first to cool off."
Wen Moqi stuffed the person into the car, and sat in the back seat himself, then winked at Assistant Qiu.
Assistant Qiu started the car and drove in silence.
Wen Moqi took out a wet towel, and the cold wet towel fell on Zhuang Xingchen's face, first wiped his forehead, and then fell on his face.
When he saw the red marks on his face, Wen Moqi paused for a moment with his hands, then continued to wipe down, and said, "What did you say you were standing there all the time? Don't you know how hot the sun is in June?" Look, the sun is so poisonous, your face is red and swollen. Xiaoqiu, there should be a clinic up ahead, go buy an ice pack, cool down first, so as not to turn back and peel off the skin."
Assistant Qiu opened his mouth: "Understood."
Wen Moqi didn't mention when he came, and Assistant Qiu didn't dare to say, when they came, Zhuang Xingchen's classmates had just left.
Originally, the boss was going to go there, but when he saw Zhuang Xingchen's mother, he hid again for some reason.
It's weird.
As a result, I saw a scene of mother and child quarreling.
Assistant Qiu thought to himself, after all, they are all in college, they are not too young, and even being slapped by their mother, young people must feel ashamed.
The boss was right not to mention it.
Just because they didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Zhuang Xingchen didn't know.
There is no need to use ice packs for sun peeling.
The function of the ice pack is to reduce swelling and relieve pain, Zhuang Xingchen can guess it without thinking, Uncle Wen must have seen it.
However, he thoughtfully didn't ask, didn't talk, and used tactful methods to save his face.
Although he doesn't need this face.
Zhuang Xingchen hadn't experienced this kind of careful care for a long time.
After Wen Moqi wiped Zhuang Xingchen's face, he took out another bottle of mineral water: "Would you like a sip?"
As soon as the words fell, the young man beside him suddenly rushed over, hugged him, and pressed his face against his chest.
Wen Moqi was startled, and his body froze immediately.
It was completely unexpected for him to take the initiative to throw himself into his arms, and he was at a loss for a while.
More is a surprise.
He just decided he likes this little guy.
The other party actually threw himself into his arms.
This feeling is really indescribable, and my heart beats involuntarily.
Why did Xingchen hug him suddenly, is...
He was hesitating whether to put the water in, and then hugged it back, when he heard the young man in his arms speak in a low voice, calling out something.
Wen Moqi didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
"Mom." Zhuang Xingchen pressed his face tightly against Wen Moqi, and his voice was sad: "Why aren't you my mother?"
If Uncle Wen was his mother, wouldn't he need to be so sad?
Because in this case, mother will treat him as well as Uncle Wen, right?
You can see his hard work and everything he has done.
Wen Moqi: "..."
He heard correctly.
Zhuang Xingchen really called his mother.
All of a sudden, all the joy in my heart disappeared without a trace.
Wen Moqi put down his hands dejectedly, and put the mineral water bottle aside, feeling a little hopeless.
Is this the generation gap?
Is this the generation gap between ten years old?
I want to chase you, but you just want me to be your mother.
