Chapter 1523: Weak and Disable
In order to make the air of your wife and children fresh, Ning Weimin has basically quit smoking and only occasionally smokes cigars.
On the other hand, Liu Yang became more addicted to smoking because life in Tokyo is not easy and requires physical anesthesia.
Seeing that Ning Weimin refused the cigarette he handed over, Liu Yang was not polite and lit it himself.
It was not until he took a sip and let out a long sip of smoke that he had the heart to continue talking.
"You really don't want to say this. You ask me what the right person is. Do you remember which music talent came to Tokyo on the same plane as us?"
"Who do you think you have worked as a music director in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe? It seems that the surname is...the last name is Chen..."
"Yes, it's him, his name is Chen Song. I'll live in the same dormitory with me now."
"Oh, is that right? I remember you didn't know each other before you came to Japan, right?"
"Of course, we chatted on the plane, whether we were you or him, it was the first time we met. Later, when we arrived in Tokyo, we went our separate ways. But by chance, half a year ago, we all had to find a house to live in again, and finally we met together. In the end, we had to spend money together, so we just shared the same place. You should know how troublesome it is to rent a house in Tokyo. Especially for us Chinese, there are not many houses that can be afforded, and others don't believe you, either deposit or gift is indispensable."
"What's the situation with Chen Song now? He doesn't study and is concentrating on working."
"He doesn't read it anymore, but he has been a little longer than me, and has wasted nearly a year and a half. So he loses even more than me. Now he works two part-time jobs, and goes to the bakery at the subway station every day at 5 a.m., gets off work at 10 a.m., and then works as a cleaner at a hotel until around 4 a.m.. He is different from me, and lives a day and night out of the day. Basically, he sleeps during the day and works at night. Unfortunately, the Japanese are too unintentional. For poor foreign students like us, they are only willing to give them less than the minimum hourly wage. Even if he works at 6,000 yen a day, he is not as profitable as my construction site."
"This is not good. Staying up late is the opposite of the biological clock. Over time, your body will collapse."
"I said, man, do you think he doesn't know? What students in Tokyo are most afraid of is getting sick. Being sick means being completely bankrupt. But there is nothing we can do. Although Chen Song looks quite strong, he has asthma and his body is not as good as me. He can't do such physical work as me. Then what else can he do if he doesn't do this? He also has to make money and live..."
Liu Yang's words once again blocked Ning Weimin's mouth. He knew that he had just said stupid things.
I especially noticed that the little fellow in front of me had changed from a white-faced scholar with tender skin to a black and strong man because of long-term physical labor. He felt awkward of "why not eat meat minced".
Liu Yang quickly noticed this, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he quickly added some other situations about Chen Song.
"Actually, Chen Song had a pretty good job, playing piano for a Western restaurant. He had this skill and the boss was very kind to him. At that time, his reward was 2,000 yen per hour. He played for four hours every night, and also took care of a meal and paid the fare. He earned about 10,000 yen per day, and he didn't know how comfortable his life was. When he first came to Tokyo, he relied on this job to support his studies. Unfortunately, this kid didn't understand the world, was too happy to show off, and was too proud to be so proud that he actually told everything to his classmates.
If he was unintentional and interested, he had a classmate who pretended to go to the store to see him, but he chatted with the boss with fluent Japanese. Then he tried to persuade him to agree to play a few songs on stage and try it. In this way, within a month, the boss fired Chen Song because he disliked Chen Song's Japanese not good enough. Therefore, it was also a fault that Chen Song was too naive and did not understand the sinister world and treated everyone around him as good people. But he forgot that this is Japan, a complex capitalist world, and competition is needed everywhere, with you, me, and you..."
But Liu Yang said this, it would be better not to say it.
Because of the situation he revealed, Ning Weimin felt even more heavy and uncomfortable when he heard it, and he couldn't help but worry about the survival status of these fellow villagers in the capital.
"Liu Yang, this is not competition, it's so weak and vulnerable."
Ning Weimin sighed with a serious expression and then asked, "Where is Chen Song, the classmate who plotted against him? He is also from our capital, right?"
"That's not, he is a Hong Kong City person. Perhaps it's because of this that Chen Song was careless. Who would have thought that Hong Kong City people, who are obviously much richer than our mainlanders, would do such a despicable thing for a job?"
This answer was a little better than Ning Weimin expected, which made him feel relieved, but he still sarcastically.
"Isn't this normal? How did the prosperity of the Hong Kong City come about? It's not that it's a British colony, and it's a bonus for isolating the mainland and the outside world? Although this is caused by historical reasons, we know from this that many Hong Kong City people themselves have the genes of being traitors and serving foreigners as compradors. How could they be with us? So you can't be too real in the future. You should not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others..."
However, what Ning Weimin said made Liu Yang amused.
"Oh, I can't tell that you have a strong sense of justice and are so righteous. But you seem to have forgotten that you are also from a foreign-funded enterprise. Based on your situation, I'm really a little uncomfortable with hearing you say these words."
After he reminded him, Ning Weimin realized that he seemed to have put himself in, and he couldn't help but Wan'er.
"Where can I be the same as them? I am in Cao's camp and my heart is in Han. Even if I finally become a capitalist, I am also a red capitalist who serves the country and the people..."
"Yes, yes, you must have penetrated into the enemy, just like the movie "The Man Who Deals with the Devil."
Liu Yang echoed and joked, "Actually, it's a good thing to have someone like you who can eat in Japan. It can also be a little bit of a good thing to be angry with us, the people in the capital. Otherwise, if we return to China one day, we don't know what to brag. Would we just brag about us as a cow and horse for the Japanese? Fortunately, there are people like you. Even if there are not many, it will at least be an incentive for us fellow villagers in Japan. Hey, do you know? In Tokyo, in addition to you, there are still a few of us in the capital who are doing well."
Such news is something that Ning Weimin likes.
"Speak and listen."
"Do you still remember Li Xiaojiang and Wang Yan? We also came on the same plane as us."
Ning Weimin didn't have a deep impression of these two names. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered the two self-employed men and women who seemed to be on the same plane.
"I remembered that it was the two who were originally practicing clothing stalls in Xidan. Why, do you have any contact with them?"
"No, no, people have posted it, how can they still be with us? But what they do is really amazing. Not only has it spread in the circle of fellow villagers in Beijing long ago. Almost all mainland students in Tokyo know them. I heard that they have been interviewed by Japanese newspapers recently, and they are now real celebrities."
Suddenly, Ning Weimin's curiosity became more and more mobilized.
"The more you say this, the more you become more and more amazing. So what did they do? Don't keep it a secret, okay?"
"Haha, they are selling Zhangguang 101."
"Zhang Guang 101?"
"Yes, hair loss is something that is always advertised in domestic newspapers."
Ning Weimin was stunned and then remembered that this thing was a kind of hair growth water in China. It suddenly became popular in recent years and spread the effect in domestic newspapers.
"You didn't expect it either. In fact, no one expected that the Japanese people were under great pressure from work, and many young people started to lose their hair early. The Japanese demand for this thing is more than that of our Chinese. Li Xiaojiang and Wang Yan really have a vision. They actually became the Japanese agents of Zhang Guang 101 and made a fortune by selling this. Do you know how much does such a bottle of something worth more than ten yuan in China cost in Japan?"
"How much?"
"Forty thousand yen! It's equivalent to more than one thousand yuan!"
Looking at Ning Weimin's shocked look, Liu Yang, who was smiling with his eyes shiny, almost said in an admirational tone, "You said they can be a bad person! I heard that they have opened companies and have branches in many cities in Japan. They have also recruited many salesmen. Unfortunately, I didn't contact them. If I contacted them, I would also want to try it and follow them to sell hair-raising water. Moreover, this thing is not easy to buy in our country. Otherwise, if I asked my family to send a few bottles to sell, I wouldn't have to work anymore. Selling this alone would be enough to live."
But to be honest, Ning Weimin was so surprised, it was not because of the heavy profits in it that he was almost as good as selling fans.
But because a sudden flash of his mind reminded him of the rumors that he had heard from people in his previous life that he had said "Four Lis in the Capital".
The so-called "Four Lis in the Capital" actually refers to the four well-known wealthy people in the capital in the 1990s. These four people should be talked about by the people in the later capital because of their surname Li.
Among these four people, the most famous one is Li Chengru who abandoned his wife and children.
After all, this guy later went to the film and television industry and brags like a loudspeaker every day. The people in the capital knew all the troubles of him.
Another thing that Ning Weimin remembers clearly is Li Chunping.
This guy has a legendary experience. He is said to marry overseas and marry an old lady who was once a Hollywood superstar and inherited huge wealth.
Although these things are not true or false, they have indeed given quite a lot of charitable donations.
This little thing of his business has become the food for the common people. When they have time, they can only drink two taels of vernacular words.
As for the other two people, Ning Weimin didn't know that much.
Because the people who said it at that time didn't know much, and just mentioned it, he didn't have that deep impression on him.
What he still remembers is that one of them made a fortune by reselling water to Japan, and later returned to China and bought the first Ferrari in mainland China.
And now...that's the case? After a long time of trouble, it turned out to be Li Xiaojiang.
That's right, this kind of inadvertent acted as a historical bystander again, and suddenly discovered that the legendary figure had already had a life of intersection with him. The taste was really wonderful.
So whether it is surprise or excitement, it is not surprising that he reacts like this, right?
But then again, although Ning Weimin can fully experience the magical magic intertwined by fate and time.
But Liu Yang has a different identity from him, but he has no way to keep chatting with him so endlessly.
In fact, Liu Yang had long noticed that his Japanese boss had finished drinking the coffee in his hand, waiting beside him and had already entered a state of impatientness, frequently looking at his wrist watch.
And he still has to rely on others to make a living. No matter how reluctant he is, he has to end the conversation quickly and go back to work, otherwise he will not have good fruits.
"Then what, buddy, you see, we're talking about it all the time. Why don't we get here today? I'll have to go back to work."
Liu Yang, who originally wanted to smoke another cigarette, no longer had such a thought and said goodbye.
After he said this, Ning Weimin also woke up and noticed the impatientness of the Japanese boss.
But the difference is that when the Japanese saw Ning Weimin paying attention to his sight, they not only did not feel dissatisfied, but immediately smiled and bowed respectfully.
This is the gap in identity. Liu Yang could only envy him. Finally, he clearly realized the huge gap between them, so he couldn't help but dare not relax, and stood straight.
"Then what, I'd better call you Ningsang, after all, you are a customer..."
Ning Weimin did not express his opinion, but just asked him, "You and Chen Song are living together now, right? Where do you live?"
“We live in Kitasenju, Adachi, now.”
“How much does it cost?”
"Forty thousand yen a month. Let's share it."
"How is your Japanese language proficiency?"
"I'm just N3, there's no problem with simple communication between daily and work. Chen Song's Japanese level is higher than mine..."
"What's going on? Didn't you just say that he lost his job because his Japanese level is not high..."
"Hey, you have to think about it the other way around. He has put in a lot of effort because of this."
"Okay, now we have something to do, and I won't say nonsense anymore. I have a job here that can be provided to you. I need to be able to find out the other party's address and some Japanese level required for transportation, and I can go to work immediately. Although my income is not high, based on my daily salary, I may only get 5,000 yen. But it is not a heavy labor, but just answering customers' calls. And I am in charge of food, accommodation, insurance, and a health pension. Look at this place, I don't hide it from you. This is what I use to open a scrap company. If you want to open it here in the future, there may be some warehouse management and cleaning work. If you don't dislike it..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Liu Yang couldn't help but scream, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing. What do you dislike? You're a formal job. Are you sure you want to hire us according to the treatment of a formal job? And provide us with residence?"
"Of course, they are all fellow villagers. It is necessary to take care of each other. Today we can meet again is fate. In this way, you go back and discuss with Chen Song. If you want, call me. I will make arrangements for you."
As he said that, Ning Weimin took out a business card and handed it to Liu Yang. He didn't say anything else. He just nodded, turned around and left to find the Japanese boss.
And that's not all, because just when Liu Yang was stunned, the Japanese boss who accompanied Ning Weimin said a few words to him, and suddenly walked towards Liu Yang, patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone that he had never seen before.
"You, don't go up later. You're working below, responsible for pushing the sand, okay?"
Liu Yang woke up in shock. He was taking care of him.
So he widened his eyes and looked at Ning Weimin. After receiving the response from his eyes, he hurriedly nodded to the Japanese boss.
The Japanese laughed, then pulled him to explain to the little foreman in charge of the place.
So a Malaysian worker was in trouble and was transferred to the foreman to carry out high-altitude dismantling work.
He was so unfair that he was completely unreasonable and could not understand the truth at all, so he protested till hell.
However, the Japanese would not reason with him. The Japanese foreman not only cursed him, but also immediately slapped him in the face.
Now Malaysian workers can only shut up and accept their treatment unconditionally.
He had five red marks on his face, full of grievances, and silently climbed onto the channel steel.
This scene was also deeply engraved in the hearts of Ning Weimin and Liu Yang who were about to be separated.
They had a last look at each other.
The four words "weak and weak" appeared in their hearts again, and only they could understand the complexity of them.
Chapter completed!
