Trafford’s Trading Club

"Eat slowly, don't swallow."

On one of the beds in the public ward, Jin Ziyao gently gave Hong Guan a wake-up call... Hong Guan ate so fast that he almost swallowed it.

"It's okay! I have to eat quickly, I have to go to work later!" Hong Guan took a sip of water and said with a smile.

Jin Ziyao said with some heartache: "You, there's no need to rush here at noon, I think you're tired."

Hong Guan said cheerfully: "The place where I work is full of big men, how can I be as good-looking as you?"

"Deadly poor!" Jin Ziyao rolled his eyes, but obviously couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "I'll peel some grapefruit for you, you can eat it on the way."

Hong Guan suddenly received a call at this time. He was afraid of disturbing the people next to him, so he walked out of the ward. Soon after, Hong Guan returned to Jin Ziyao, with a somewhat strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Jin Ziyao asked curiously.

Hong Guan was stunned for a moment, then patted his face, then looked at his wife and said: "Someone just came to me and asked me if I wanted to work at a TV station. He said that he would go to the TV station to meet me if he had time in the afternoon..."

"Huh?" Jin Ziyao was obviously a little surprised by this news.

…

Unlike in the past when I was drifting to the north, I could find many opportunities. In some local TV stations, the entry threshold is still relatively high.

At least, Hong Guan has never been to a TV station in this city. Of course, as one of the landmarks, Hong Guan still knows where the TV station is.

What surprised Hong Guan was that he seemed to be the only one here to participate in the so-called interview. The reason why he came here was of course to see what was going on.

"Is this Mr. Hong Guan?"

In a small office, Hong Guan saw the person who called him: Mr. Yi.

Of course, in addition to Mr. Yi, Hong Guan also saw Li Zifeng, whom he had a close relationship with... For a moment, he seemed to understand why he received a call from the TV station.

The next thing was very simple. Mr. Yi asked him if he wanted to get a job at a TV station. The contract he signed was an off-staff contract, so naturally he wouldn’t have the same standard of treatment as the formal staff... but compared to what he got at the car repair shop. The job is much better.

"Mr. Hong Guan, look at this temporary contract. Are there any problems?"

Hong Guan knew this was a good opportunity.

Many people work hard and are willing to stay here even if they get a lower salary. Because staying here can always open a door...an opportunity for your future.

"Um...can I think about it?" Hong Guan hesitated for a while before saying something that surprised both Li Zifeng and Mr. Yi.

Mr. Yi looked at Li Zifeng... obviously wanting to see how he would speak.

Before that, he was just selling favors to Li Zifeng. As for Hong Guan, it was not his business to accept or not. After all, he has already given help and whether he accepts it or not is someone else's business.

"How about this? You guys talk first?" Mr. Yi chuckled and said, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

Mr. Yi said and walked out of the door very calmly, leaving Li Zifeng and Hong Guan behind.

When the two of them were silent, Li Zifeng suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, is it because it was too sudden that you couldn't react?"

"No... no, actually." Hong Guandao: "It's true that I can't react... Mr. Li, why do you want to help me?"

"To be honest, I am just doing something for Yi Ran." Li Zifeng smiled and said: "You know, Yi Ran, our company attaches great importance to him, and of course we will try our best to meet his small requests. .”

"So..." Hong Guan was stunned, "You said... this was his idea?"

Li Zifeng suddenly said: "Just think of it as my suggestion, okay. Mr. Hong, I heard the same thing, you have some financial difficulties, I think this job may be able to help you."

Hong Guan frowned, "Why didn't he tell me in person?"

"Mr. Hong, you know, he is very busy now."

Li Zifeng still smiled and said: "In addition, if possible, I hope you can take the initiative to find him less in the future... After all, I don't want him to be distracted during this period. You know, the beginning is particularly important for a new person. .Those things that paparazzi like to dig up about newcomers, especially negative things, are a must-win for the paparazzi. I don’t want to be harassed from the beginning, so I can have a quiet environment.”

"What... do you mean?" Hong Guan's face darkened: "What's the negative?"

"Mr. Hong, don't get me wrong."

Li Zifeng said sternly: "This is our company's plan... We plan to package Yi Ran into a person who has been working hard for his dreams and never gives up. Packing an image of self-improvement... So, there are some things If you can prevent people from knowing, try not to let people know.”

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Hong Guanzhi frowned.

At this time, Li Zifeng suddenly moved his chair, faced Hong Guan, and whispered: "Mr. Hong, I know that you formed a band before and drifted to Beijing for a while."

After a pause, Li Zifeng rubbed his hands and said, "Young people are immature. It's understandable to do things impulsively, isn't it? In fact, it's not a big deal."

"Stop beating around the bush and just tell the truth!" Hong Guan said in a deep voice.

Li Zifeng sighed, "Okay, let me tell you the truth. Mr. Hong, I am not afraid to tell you honestly. I have indeed checked your background. Now that I have checked, I know some things... you, and the same , and there was also another member of your band at the time, who had committed a crime before, had a criminal record, and... also spent time in a detention center. Right?"

Hong Guan's face suddenly turned ugly.

This is something they have been reluctant to mention and cannot forget or let go of.

Hong Guan didn't speak for a long, long time, and it was impossible for Mr. Yi to say that he only took that long to go to the toilet... He was probably just waiting outside for a result, right?

…

But on the other hand, does it also prove that Li Zifeng is very capable?

"Mr. Li..." Hong Guan suddenly took a deep breath, "Tell me honestly, is it your intention or the other way around?"

Li Zifeng said vaguely: "This is really not important, Mr. Hong. What is important is that we will not treat you badly. You see, this job is just the beginning. In the future, you will still have the opportunity to get a formal establishment." .correct……"

At this time, Li Zifeng took out a check from his suit, placed it on the table, and said calmly: "Yi Ran asked me to give this to you, saying that your wife is about to give birth and needs money."

A check for one hundred thousand.

"Why didn't he hand it over to me in person?" Hong Guan did not move, but looked directly at Li Zifeng, looking a little scary.

"Didn't I say that? He is really busy now. His schedule is so packed throughout the day that he doesn't even have enough time to rest."

Hong Guan gritted his teeth, "Okay, I get it!"

…

…

"One hundred thousand? You really don't want it? Are you stupid? What about the TV station job? Why don't you agree?" In the car repair shop, there was a person sitting next to Hong Guan... Strictly speaking, this The first person is the owner of the car repair shop: Hong Zhongshun.

In fact, he is also a fellow villager of Hong Guan.

Before Hong Guan drifted to the north, he followed this fellow Hong Zhongshun in the car repair job. It can be said that this boss is one of his few friends who is closer than some relatives.

"Uncle, you helped me when I was in the most difficult time." Hong Guan shook his head and said, "Besides, it's almost the end of the year, and you are short of people here. At this time, you say that I will leave right away. Can you accept it?"

Hong Zhongshun shook his head and sighed: "So you are stupid! I know a little bit about why your so-called brother can get in and talk about making a debut, but you are still squatting here! Because not doing things is not enough!"

"Uncle!" Hong Guan frowned.

Hong Zhongshun suddenly patted Hong Guan on the shoulder and said, "But it's a good thing you're not like your brother, who turned his back on everyone after he became famous! Bah, what, some things can be solved with just a little money? "

"Uncle, stop talking." Hong Guan shook his head, "Stop talking, I want to be quiet."

Hong Zhongshun said nothing else. He just patted Hong Guan on the shoulder and said, "Get off work early today and go to the hospital early to be with your wife."

…

…

"...What are you still worrying about? In fact, it's not necessarily inseparable. In fact, the most fearful thing about relationships is dragging..."

Hong Guan's vision was unfocused, but his years of experience allowed him to still play and sing completely even if his mind wandered. But at the same time, he didn't pay attention to the people stopping in front of his stall.

But he finally saw someone familiar.

During this period of time, Hong Guan found that whenever he sang here, there would be this young man who was alone at first, and then the next day he found that this young man came with a particularly beautiful girl.

Young men and girls really go well together... This is Hong Guan's feeling.

The two of them would always appear without knowing when, quietly listening to him singing. Hong Guan felt as if time had stopped with the arrival of the young man and the girl.

It wasn't his time that stopped, but the time of these two people that stopped.

Although it feels very subtle, to be honest, Hong Guan is still quite happy with this young man's arrival because every day, he can get reward money from this young man.

Several times, Hong Guan wanted to thank the other person properly, but inadvertently, he lost sight of the young man and the girl.

Today, Hong Guan discovered that he had not received the reward... because the young man simply took his maid with him and disappeared into the square without knowing when.

It was as if the two of them had never stayed together today... just like other passers-by.

Hong Guan packed up his small stall with a complicated expression.

Today, nothing was found. (To be continued.) 8
