Chapter 25 Nanjing Road
Chapter 25 Nanjing Road
Liu Guangqing waited in line for nearly an hour, and in his heart he had already cursed the person who cut their phone line countless times.
"Old Liu, it's your turn now. Please hurry up. I need to call my grandson. He hasn't contacted me for a week."
Liu Guangqing thought to himself, "Then you should quickly change places. It may take more than half an hour to finish this."
In order to save money, the people in front tried to keep their speeches brief, but Liu Guangqing, who had such a heavy burden on his shoulders, still had to explain patiently.
The boss from another place was very happy in his heart and thanked the person who cut the telephone line.
Let him get such a great bargain for free.
On weekdays, it would be great if ten people could come to him to make phone calls.
With so many people here today, he can earn at least a hundred dollars.
It's like picking it up for free.
Liu Guangqing had just picked up the phone when the old man behind him reminded him, "Look, are those two policemen looking for your house?"
"Didn't your family lose a child last night?"
"Go and have a look~, the child is the most important."
What is this?
I just got the phone and haven’t made the call yet!
It seems that I waited in line for an hour in vain.
I thought, "It would be great if I could use Sun Wukong's transformation technique to help him make the call."
After a mental struggle, he finally handed the phone to the old man behind him and said, "Hold it for me until I come back."
The old man shouted from behind: "Hurry up, I'll leave after I finish fighting~", but in my heart I smiled and said, "Not bad luck."
Liu Guangqing caught up with the two policemen on motorcycles and asked, "Are you here to look for Liu Guangqing?"
"I am."
"Did you find Guo Yixing?"
The police shook his head and said, "We are here to register the child's information and see if we can contact his father here."
Liu Guangqing finally had a good thing happen to him. Asking the police to help him find people was much more convenient than him looking for them one by one.
So he wanted the police to help him contact the parents of several other children.
The policeman decisively refused, "Uncle, we are usually very busy. If you know the contact information, just go and contact them yourself. Every year so many people come to our police station and ask us to find their parents. We are so busy!"
……
Li Kang and his friends arrived near Nanjing Road at around 8:30.
In the 1990s, Shanghai's prosperity can be seen here.
The Oriental Pearl Tower across the Huangpu River has not yet been completed.
The Bund can only be said to be okay. The current flow of people is far less than what it will be in the future.
Usually, people who go to the Bund are old Shanghainese.
People from other places are busy at work and have no free time at all.
"Brother Kang, the city buildings here are so tall and beautiful. The people on the street are also very fashionable."
“All the cities here are Shanghai, but their development is uneven.”
Li Kang also found Old Shanghai a little strange when he saw it for the first time.
New Shanghai is still more awesome.
Lin Meixia, Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming are like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
His performance was so exaggerated that he was laughed at by many passers-by.
"We are on Nanjing West Road, and there is an East Road over there."
"Li Kang, the Portman you're going to is over there."
"Then why don't we just go to the west road?"
The road under their feet is Tibet Middle Road, near People's Park.
To get to Portman, you have to take BJ West Road.
The names of the roads in this area are basically named after provinces or regions across the country. Similar ones include Henan Road Middle Road, Shanxi Road, Guangdong Road, and Zhejiang Road.
It seems that all provinces can be gathered together.
Shanghai's status is self-evident.
"Li Kang, are you planning to go like this?"
Li Kang was stunned. "What's wrong? Is it not possible?"
I looked around and found that my clothes were clean and tidy, and my face had been washed.
Polish it till it's brighter than a mirror.
Besides, Li Kang has been working as a translator for several years, so he doesn't need to dress up brightly, with shiny hair, reflective shoes, and expensive suits. Are you the boss or is he the boss? If you steal his limelight, it will cause the host to be disgusted.
"Brother Jun, it's okay for me to dress like this. After all, I'm still an intern in their eyes."
"Interns have to make a good impression, too."
"Anyway, your casual, mismatched outfit is not suitable for such a big occasion."
Liu Junqiang took him to Nanjing East Road. After crossing the overpass was Li Nan Ju, which was a boutique shopping mall.
"The things here are quite expensive. Why did you bring me to a place like this?" Li Kang really didn't understand. "I'm going to do a part-time job, not you. Why are you worrying about me?"
Seeing that Liu Jun was quite nice to them, it was hard to refuse.
As soon as you arrive at the door, you can smell the luxurious atmosphere inside.
There is an ice cream shop right at the entrance.
It’s hard not to be envious of kids like Zhang Yiming and Liu Lang when they see this.
"Brother Kang, what is this?"
"Ice cream, didn't you eat it at KFC last time?"
"Oh~!" Lin Meixia's face turned slightly red.
Liu Jun understood what Lin Meixia meant, and several children couldn't walk when they smelled the aroma of ice cream.
Li Kang, a man used to modern life, could not understand the children's love for ice cream at this time.
"Boss, how much is this Haagen-Dazs?"
"Ten bucks~!"
The boss speaks very bluntly, so blunt that customers may feel uncomfortable hearing him, and he doesn't care whether you buy or not.
If you don't buy, someone else will. Anyone who can come here to shop can certainly afford a Haagen-Dazs.
Liu Jun cursed in his heart: "How ruthless! Ten yuan for one ice cream!"
"This is a foreign brand, not some rubbish domestic ice cream."
Li Kang hates to hear people say that domestic products are not good.
Haagen-Dazs is just trying to deceive ignorant Chinese people.
It also allowed him to make money for nearly twenty years.
Li Kang has never eaten this stuff anyway. Domestic ice cream, Mengniu, Chocolatier and Yili are all okay.
Every summer, I would stock up boxes of them at home.
"Brother Jun, I don't want to eat. It will give me diarrhea."
Liu Jun spent thirty yuan.
It’s almost equivalent to selling buns at home for a whole morning.
His salary at the factory is only seven or eight hundred yuan.
"Come on, now that they are happy with their meal, it's time to buy you some nice clothes."
"Really, no need, Jun-ge~, buying clothes here is too expensive. It's better to buy a few more pieces for them."
"You don't understand this, right? You make money, so you can compensate them later."
The abacus is quite good.
"Isn't it said that Shanghai is stingy? I, Li Kang, will be the first to object."
In the end, he spent more than a thousand yuan to buy Li Kang a suit of foreign brand.
The high-end products in Li Nan Ju are basically foreign products.
If domestic brands dare to come in, they will be placed in corners that are difficult for tourists to find.
If others see it, it will lower the grade of the mall.
Li Kang looked at himself in the mirror. He looked really handsome in the suit. He was also 1.80 meters tall, which was quite tall.
"This suit and leather shoes suit you so well. You look just like the stars on TV."
Li Kang had a stern face throughout the whole process and looked very unhappy.
Don’t dare to laugh. If you dare to laugh, the waiter will raise the salary by hundreds more.
And he really didn't like it. He had never worn it like this before. It was too formal.
Many translation bosses, even in the 1990s, who earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and even worked as interpreters for high-ranking leaders, did not seem to have much aura.
"I am wearing this to pick up some older sister...."
The data of the new book period is very important. I will wait until I break through the siege, and then everyone can raise it. Please read it, collect it, and reward it. Thank you for your support.
