Chapter 8 The Bloodbath
He patted me on the shoulder and said in his most sincere voice, "How about it? Mr. Chen, give it a try. I won't lie to you ...... This thing does have an effect."
I immediately shook my head like a rattle.
He was anxious: "I am also completely dead to the market here, early to sell this set of things in my hand, I also good to leave here, back to the company headquarters."
"How much?" I tried to ask.
He immediately quoted a figure that took me by surprise!
Looking at my face, he had an "unexpected" smile on his face: "I know you can't afford it. At this stage, we don't expect this product to be accepted by the market, so our strategy is to promote it on a rental basis to customers who don't have the purchasing power."
Rental?
"As I said, this product is still in the trial stage, and we have to follow up on the first batch of products put on the market to find out the drawbacks on the product, and also to make the necessary improvements and modifications. Therefore, I said rent, and do not want you to pay a penny, but as a condition, you must send a survey report to us every month according to our requirements."
There's such a good thing?
But I immediately became wary once again.
Why?
Quite simply, when a scammer says to you in a kindly tone, "I don't want your money ......"
It's times like these that you have to be even more careful to cover your wallet tightly!
"Hmph, being so nice to me?" I don't believe it.
The tall, thin man smiled slyly, "I've said it all, for customers with purchasing power, of course we won't refuse. For customers like you who have no purchasing power, since we can't get money from you, we have to get something else, right? In business, who would do something without a return? What do you say?"
Well, this ...... seems to have a few points ......
The tall and thin man looked at the sky, stood up, and without saying anything, shoved the poor quality cheap ring into my hand, "Well, this ring now belongs to you for the time being. But please remember, on the first of every month, please send the survey form carefully filled out at the specified address." He pulled a wad of paper out of the folder and handed it to me, smiling, "Here are the instructions and the questionnaire with the address to send it to."
With that said, he even dragged me out of the rooftop and over to the elevator door. When I approached the elevator, he smiled and bowed to me, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Chen Yang, I have finally completed my sales task, and thanks to your blessing, I can also go to the head office. Alas, it's really tough to sell this kind of product developed by the company, after I go back, I'll suggest whether it's necessary for the company to carry out other product development and give up this kind of product that has no prospect anymore."
I couldn't help but ask: "But, you started to say the matter of renting a room ......"
He had a sly look on his face, "Mr. Chen Yang, as I said, only by purchasing our company's products can you become a full member and enjoy member treatment. Our membership treatment does not only include housing, but also exquisite gifts every month, as well as free trips abroad every year, etc....... Unfortunately, you are only renting our company's products, and are not able to enjoy these treatments."
Probably because he was afraid that I would get angry, he sighed, looked deeply at me, and said with a straight face, "But in the end, out of gratitude to you, I can give you a free proposal ......"
"?"
"Alas ......" the tall, thin man pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, then said quickly in a smooth, professional tone, "As a senior sales person of luck products, I see that the red and black on your face is unknown, but the Hall of Seals is As a senior luck product salesman, I can see that your face is red and black, but the Hall of Seal is glowing, so it is evident that you have had good luck lately. However, there are small disasters in your recent luck, and you may see bloodshed again in the near future! But it doesn't matter, it's just a minor problem. I've said all I have to say, and I'll send you a few words: Twenty years of hard work, ten thousand dollars of wealth, once on the road to the blue clouds, remember to be careful of the words of flattery."
What? Blood and light disaster? I face odd ......
Shit! Is this guy a salesman or a fucking fortune-telling charlatan?
But I didn't have a chance to talk, the elevator had already closed, carrying me all the way down to the first floor.
Walking out of the building, I felt like I was in a bit of a trance.
Was it a charlatan I had met, or was it a madman?
Say he is a liar, right ...... but he didn't cheat anything from me, instead I have a ring stuffed in my hand.
Weird things happen every year, and this year is especially ...... I shook my head.
"Hmph, say I have a bloodbath in the near future? Shit! Bullshit!" I couldn't help but raise my head and look up the building ......
Suddenly, something fell from the sky, growing larger and clearer in my sight ......
Shit! It was a flowerpot ......
That was my last thought.
Bang! With a crisp cracking sound, a stream of fresh blood biaoed out of my head, and I fell headlong.
Day ...... bloodlight ...... bloodlight ......
......
Ouch! Ouch!
Not the usual pain!
I was lying on a hospital bed in front of a serious looking doctor who was treating my wounds. Despite the anesthetic, I was still sweating from the pain.
This is actually this hospital I came to last night ...... and this doctor who is treating my wounds is the same person who treated me last night.
"Alas, I say you young people, are you all brave and like to fight?" The doctor had a mask on his face, but I could still recognize him - he had the very characteristic Mediterranean hairstyle on his head.
He obviously recognized me as well, "You got your head broken last night and again today, you're pretty lucky ......"
My head was a bit groggy and I opened my mouth and barely said, "Doctor, how did I get here?"
"You were lucky to be brought here. Otherwise you'd be lying dead on the side of the road and no one would care."
After treating the wound, he helped me sit up and laughed, "You're lucky, it's just a little trauma, but any heavy blow to the head will result in some dizziness, it'll be fine in a day or two."
I looked in the mirror before I couldn't help but let out a scream!
"My hair!!!"
The head in the mirror, the hair right in the middle of the head was completely shaved, leaving only the hair around it, forming a standard Mediterranean ......
"What are you screaming about!" The doctor was not satisfied, "You had two heavy blows on your head, when I treated your wounds, of course I had to cut off your hair."
After saying that, he had stood up and patted his clothes, "Rest a little while, oh yeah, there's someone outside who wants to see you, it seems to be the person who sent you here."
Not many moments later, a person walked in outside the ward. He was in his forties, with a big head, small eyes, eyes full of shrewd gaze, wearing a dark colored suit. As soon as he walked in I felt the man's gaze dart around a good bit, as if he was avoiding something.
"Hello." I nodded and smiled at him, "I heard you were the one who sent me to the hospital? I'm really very grateful for that....... The cost of the treatment must have been paid by you for me, right? I'll pay you back right away."
Looking at me as if I was about to holster my wallet, this man suddenly waved his hand to stop me, an awkward smile on his face, "This, Mr. Chen Yang, right? The matter of money is not in a hurry ......I want to ask you first, how did you ......this ......well ......how did you get injured and fell to the ground?"
As soon as I heard this, a fire rose up in my heart, and I said angrily, "A flowerpot fell down from that building, and it hit me right in the middle of my head in an unbiased way! Shit! This thing I will not stop, tomorrow I will go to find that building's property company!"
I suddenly found this guy's face more unnatural, squirming for a while, he sighed, face with a few points of embarrassment: "Mr. Chen ...... you see, this matter, can not be private forget it?"
"Private?"
"Yes." He pulled out a business card and handed it to me with both hands. I swept a glance, frowned slightly, and looked up at him, "You're from the property company of that building?"
An awkward smile appeared on his face, "This matter is due to our mismanagement ...... In the afternoon we were carrying out renovations on the second floor, and our men were working in violation of the rules, and as a result, they accidentally dropped a flowerpot from the upper floor ...... Hey! This is really sorry. In this way, we will be fully responsible for your medical expenses! Only, this matter, there's no need to publicize it ......"
I looked at him with some doubt, in my heart, I didn't quite understand why this guy would be so.
Probably seeing that I didn't say anything, the other party thought that I refused to agree, he hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Let's put it this way, Mr. Chen, we will not only pay for all of your medical expenses, but we will also bear the cost of your lost wages. ...... Also, if you have any other conditions, you can also put them forward. ...... This, as long as not too excessive requirements, we can discuss it ......"
Now it is my turn to be surprised ......
There is such a good thing? Look at the current situation, simply is this guy put his head out to let me slaughter it?
Indeed, my injury should be their responsibility, but there is no need to act so weak right?
My face didn't move, and my mind was rapidly turning thoughts.
"Ten thousand." This guy saw that I still didn't say anything, clenched his teeth and stomped his foot, and reported a figure, "In addition to your medical expenses, we are willing to compensate you for 10,000 yuan in lost wages, what do you think?"
Not yet the bottom price!
I suddenly came up with such a thought in my heart, cleared my throat, and said in a calm and unruffled tone, "Is this ...... you look at my head ...... well shaved the hair on the top of my head! This walk out, others still don't think I'm old before I'm old? This kind of image, you let me how to go out to see people? Please, I still want to pick up MM's, now this image, people will most likely think I am hair loss! No MM would want to date a guy with hair loss!"
The guy took out a tissue and wiped his sweat, taking a breath, "Twenty thousand! The extra ten thousand is considered to be the cost of the image damage we gave you."
"And in the future, my head also don't know whether it will leave any after-effects oh ...... In case there is a headache in the future, or concussion or something, I have to keep coming to the hospital for follow-up ...... Alas, you also know that this The structure of the human brain is very complicated ......"
"...... Thirty thousand! We'll add another ten thousand as an extension of your future medical expenses. Is that okay?"
I sighed, "And my clothes ......You've seen it, my clothes are stained with blood! Alas, I'm a world famous brand ah, the texture and fabric are first class, stained with blood, can't even be washed clean ......"
This guy hate skimmed a glance at my body's "world famous brand", gritted his teeth and said: "But ...... I look at your set of clothes, it seems that the more I look at it, the more it looks like work clothes ... ..." Said here, suddenly saw my face sank, he did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly said: "Good! I'll add five thousand more! Sort of compensation for your clothes ......"
I sighed again, this guy heard me sigh, his face was green, bitter smile pleaded: "Mr. Chen, don't sigh ...... you sigh again, I'm going to cry ...... head was smashed a little, smashed out thirty five thousand dollars. Such a thing, in my place, I am willing to be smashed once a day."
That's pretty much it. I knew there was no more oil to be squeezed and was ready to call it a day.
Suddenly, my heart remembered another thing, and my face showed a cordial smile, "By the way, under your property company is responsible for, I'm afraid it's not just that one building, right? The thing is like this, I happen to want to rent a house recently ......"
After a full half hour, this guy walked out of my hospital room with a face full of bad luck. I, on the other hand, was lying on the hospital bed happily breathing a sigh of relief.
In the end I opened the conditions, he promised to help me find a house in the building near their company to rent to me to use, the rent shall not be higher than the average market price of two thirds. At the same time also promised to waive my one-year property management fees, parking fees, cleaning fees and so on all the costs ......
Finally, I signed a simple agreement with him to settle the matter privately.
In fact, my heart still some do not understand, why this guy will be sent to the door willing to give me to slaughter ...... in my impression, all the property company, are bullish and coaxing.
Later I realized: today I went to the property just completed not long ago, is in full investment. If the news breaks at this time, someone is injured at the gate to see blood ...... is very unfavorable to the investment promotion of this property.
Now a lot of businessmen are very superstitious, especially the opening of the gate soon to see blood ...... such a thing exposed, I am afraid that many businessmen will not consider renting the office building here again.
Touching the head that is still in pain, I suddenly remembered the ring that the madman gave me.
I was smashed and saw blood, but somehow made a small fortune and solved my housing problem.
Is this considered lucky or unlucky?
