“Ee?”
Suddenly, Qin Shujie said in surprise, “Look guys, there seems to be something going on in the square in front, so many people are gathering around ……”
Ji Feng turned his head and looked, and indeed, he found that there seemed to be something going on in the leisure plaza at the entrance of the shopping mall, as there were quite a few people gathered there to see what was going on.
“Is it some merchant doing some kind of activity?” Ji Feng laughed, “Maybe it could also be doing a promotion or something.”
Where they were located could be said to be the most prosperous area in the whole of Yanjing, with five or six big shopping malls in a fan shape around them, enclosing a large commercial square.
So there would often be some kind of promotion of goods or some kind of publicity here.
This kind of activity would also be held frequently in Jiangzhou, so Ji Feng was not really surprised.
“It doesn’t seem to be.”
Qin Shujie said, “Look guys, there aren’t that many onlookers, if there was some kind of event, there would definitely be quite a few people onlookers!”
Ji Feng laughed, “That’s true.”
The love of taking advantage of small bargains has almost become a common problem among Chinese people, so wherever there is a promotion or a free gift, it will definitely attract a large number of onlookers, especially when the gifts are given out, which will almost always cause a general effect of looting.
But right now, there seemed to be only a few dozen onlookers, and it was not at all the same kind of buzz as when there was an event.
“What, you guys want to go over and take a look?!” Ji Feng asked with a smile.
“It’s good to take a look, we’ve been shopping for a short time anyway, so let’s just take a break.” Qin Shujie smiled sweetly, then turned her head and asked, “Bai Zhu, what do you think?”
“It doesn’t matter to me.” Bai Zhu shook her head slightly, the vast majority of the time when she was with Qin Shujie, it was Qin Shujie who was talking and she was listening, because Qin Shujie’s eloquence, which had been honed in the shopping mall, was really beyond her reach.
However, Bai Zhu could sense the goodwill Qin Shujie was conveying, so although she was often at a loss for words, she did not resent hanging out with Qin Shujie.
In fact Bai Zhu is also a little embarra*sed because when shopping with Qin Shujie, she instead also learned a lot from Qin Shujie.
…… for example, what kind of skin should use which brand of cosmetics, bed clothes how to match and so on, these problems before Bai Zhu but never considered, usually she also just listen to Xiao Yuxuan or Tong Lei’s advice, but never deliberately to learn these things.
Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei also rarely studied these things systematically, in fact, Tong Lei rarely used those things except for some of the simplest cosmetics – her own skin was already delicate and smooth enough, more beautiful than many women who used top-notch cosmetics.
So from Qin Shujie, Bai Zhu did learn a lot about this.
Since several people had no comments, they all walked over towards that crowd of onlookers. It was idle anyway, so watching the activity was a way to relax.
However, to the surprise of a few, there didn’t seem to be any activity in the square, as there was nothing to promote the stage seen here, except for a flurry of chatter that the three heard as they approached the crowd.
“Tsk, this one’s appetite is really greedy, he actually wants a million, he’s not afraid to hold out!”
“Exactly. A million, even selling him would not be worth that much!”
“This kid is a novice, you see those veterans, are under the flyover, or in the vicinity of those tourist attractions, people do not ask for more, give ten or twenty is not too little, give a hundred or two hundred is not too much, this is good, actually came here, and asked for a million …… ”
“Why did he come here to beg, the management of the mall did not come to take care of it?”
……
Hearing these chattering voices, Ji Feng three people can’t help but look at each other, listening to what they are talking about, it seems like someone came here to beg and asked for a million?
“Go over and take a look!” Ji Feng said.
“It’s better not to go, those begging ones are all liars!” Qin Shujie said.
“It’s okay.”
Ji Feng patted her little hand and said, “If they’re crooks, let’s just not pay ……”
Saying that, Ji Feng led them forward.
“It’s better not to go.”
Qin Shujie’s interest was not too high.
Ji Feng asked somewhat strangely, “What’s wrong?”
“Most of these begging ones are fake.” Qin Shujie said, she was not averse to watching or anything, but the problem was that she didn’t want to see it when she heard that someone was begging here.
Because she had already seen enough begging in Jiangzhou, she was disgusted by it.
Nine and a half out of ten of those begging are fake, and the remaining half are probably begging because they are lazy and lazy.
For example, in the vicinity of some tourist attractions, or in those busy streets, there are often some beggars, at first glance they seem to be very miserable, most of them are handicapped, but in fact, many of those beggars are controlled by people, their begging money, not in their hands at all, in the end, they are taken away by those who control them.
So when Qin Shujie met such beggars, she would rather spend money to buy some food or clothes to give to them, rather than give them money.
But apart from such people, there were more but pretend beggars.
They are supposed to be normal people, but because they are good and lazy, they deliberately sit in wheelchairs or simply have their old mothers and fathers pretend to be dead people lying on the ground while he kneels down and kowtows to win the sympathy of pa*sers-by.
“I’ve seen a beggar with my own eyes before, right on the street in front of my company, the man had his mother lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and then he knelt down to beg, earning at least four or five hundred a day!”
Qin Shujie said, “originally I also want to give, but listen to the security guards downstairs said, that person’s home does not live far, just nearby, one of the security guards live in their neighborhood, listen to the security guards said, that person usually treat his mother particularly bad, often either beat or scold, and many times in front of the other residents in the neighborhood on his mother cursing ……”
Seeing Qin Shujie’s disgusted look, Ji Feng laughed: “This kind of person is indeed abominable, but all in all, if that person can’t ask for money, I’m afraid the treatment of his mother will be even worse …… Forget it, these things are not something we can manage, if you don’t want to see it, just wait here, I’ll go and see what’s What’s going on.”
Qin Shujie said, “Then you go, I don’t want to see.”
The business world is a place where she is accustomed to the intrigues and conspiracies of the business world, so she can’t look at these beggars with a normal heart.
But Ji Feng also knows that what Qin Shujie is not used to seeing, I’m afraid, is some of the darkness in society, and the poor attitude of those who treat their parents. ……
Since Qin Shujie did not want to go, then Ji Feng squeezed in alone.
And then he found that on the ground in the middle of the crowd surrounding it, there was a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, this man was not very old, it looked like he was only about thirty years old.
This man was dressed in a very ordinary manner, his hair was not long and somewhat dishevelled, and his gaze was straight ahead, as if he did not see the crowd gathered around him, and his face was very calm.
The most peculiar thing was that on the ground in front of this man, there were two lines of writing – begging for a million, in exchange for his life!
Ji Feng couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, these two lines looked like they should have been written in chalk, the font was strong and powerful, it was a bit sharp, even those who had practiced writing for a few years might not be able to write this well!
Ji Feng took a few more glances at this man and couldn’t help but be a little intrigued, this man didn’t look physically unwell, let alone disabled in any way, why was he out begging?
At this time, a good person asked, “Young man, are you asking for a million?
The man looked up and nodded, “Yes.”
Someone asked, “Then what does this ‘in exchange for your life’ mean at the end?”
The man said, “Give me one million, and this life of mine is yours!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be amused, how did this look a bit like a Jianghu, it looked like a set up of a Jianghu warrior taking money in exchange for his life?
He couldn’t help but ask: “This one, according to you, if after giving you this one million, this life of yours is mine, then you’ll do whatever I ask you to do?”
The man nodded, “Of course, my life is all yours.”
“Then do murder and arson too?” Ji Feng asked.
“Yes.” The man nodded calmly.
“That’s against the law!” Ji Feng frowned, “Is it worth it for a million? What do you need so much money for?”
“It’s worth it!”
The man didn’t waver any more because of Ji Feng’s lecture and questioning, he only paused slightly before saying, “I want money, I have my own use for it!”
At this moment, someone next to him reminded, “Young man, don’t believe this man’s words, beware of being cheated.”
“Yes, why do we need someone’s life? Besides, I’m afraid that if you give him the money, he will run away with it in his pocket.”
“Young man, be careful!”
……
Perhaps it was because seeing Ji Feng’s dress and temperament were somewhat cranky, probably a rich second generation or something like that who was not bad off, so a few slightly older people next to him cautioned Ji Feng not to give that man so much money on impulse and get ripped off.
Ji Feng smiled and nodded his head, expressing his gratitude for the kind reminders of the few grandparents, but he looked at the man sitting on the ground and was somewhat puzzled in his heart.
Was this man really a fraud?
Ji Feng felt a little less like it, because this man was acting a little too calmly, not at all like some other begging ones who were pretending to be pitiful and gaining sympathy, nor did he kowtow or anything, but just sat there quietly, seemingly very calm and composed.
