Chapter 2354: Chapter 2165: Understanding You_7
But the luggage rack above them was already occupied by the luggage of two girls, and there was no place left. The tall and skinny man’s hands were trembling slightly with bulging veins as he tried to place his luggage in a far-off spot.
The man’s knee was placed on the seat beside Song Xiaodong, and he stretched his body with all his might to place his luggage on the rack. Unknowingly, his knee had moved to the edge of the seat, and with one careless move, his knee slipped leading him to fall forward, with the heavy suitcase about to hit the two girls in the head.
Chapter 2169: A manual laborer?
Song Xiaodong swiftly and instinctively reached out an arm to hold up the skinny man’s suitcase high, his clothes sleeves falling down and revealing the angular muscular lines on his arm.
"Ah!" The two girls screamed at Song Xiaodong’s sudden movement, then looked up in horror at the heavy suitcase above their heads.
Before the two girls could react, Song Xiaodong exerted himself and pushed the man’s suitcase onto the luggage rack, before returning to his seat.
"Whoa, quite strong, huh? Are you a manual laborer?"
The tall and skinny man looked at Song Xiaodong with disdain, not showing gratitude but instead making sarcastic remarks.
"Thank you!" Said the short girl with straight long hair to Song Xiaodong.
"No problem." Song Xiaodong nodded, closed his eyes again, resting his head against the window, letting the train sway.
The skinny man sat next to Song Xiaodong, and soon there was the "click" sound of him lighting a cigarette and puffing smoke towards Song Xiaodong and the two girls opposite.
"Cough cough cough cough"
The two girls began to cough but dared not speak to the man.
Because the whole train was filled with the smell of smoke.
Song Xiaodong turned his head, glanced at the man, and silently opened the window.
It was only about 8 a.m., and in the deep autumn morning, the temperature was already very low. A cold wind blew in, bringing fresh air that dispersed the smoky smell filling the train compartment.
"Close the window! It’s freezing!" The smoking man shouted at Song Xiaodong.
"Put out the cigarette! It’s suffocating!" Song Xiaodong imitated the man’s tone.
The smoking man gave Song Xiaodong a hard stare, turned his body away but still didn’t put out his cigarette.
Song Xiaodong gave the smoking man a hard stare back, turned his body sideways, and continued watching outside the window.
After a while, the smoking man flicked the remaining stub of his cigarette onto the ground, stomped it out, then turned to Song Xiaodong and said, "You can close the window now, I’m done smoking!"
Song Xiaodong turned his head and pointed at the smoky air still lingering in the train compartment, saying to the smoking man, "But the smoke hasn’t cleared yet!"
The smoking man exhaled angrily and turned his head away.
After a while, the smoke inside the train compartment mostly dispersed, and the smoking man turned to ask Song Xiaodong, "Is it okay to close the window now?"
"No." Song Xiaodong tilted his head, challenging the smoking man.
"You..." The smoking man was caught off guard by Song Xiaodong’s cheekiness and couldn’t find words.
"You didn’t ask for our opinion before smoking, so I won’t ask your opinion on opening the window. I like it open, so I open it." Song Xiaodong said to the smoking man.
"Hahaha"
Song Xiaodong and the two girls opposite him couldn’t help but laugh.
"Interesting!"
The train journey was long, boring, and painful, so the two girls began chatting away, while Song Xiaodong, although closing his eyes, couldn’t close his ears to their conversation.
It turned out these two girls were employees at an advertising company, traveling to do business in other places this time.
Song Xiaodong thought for a moment, knowing his slimming tea factory would need advertising in the future, so he wanted to ask the two girls about the current state of advertising.
"Excuse me, are you both in advertising?" Song Xiaodong asked the two girls opposite.
"We’re not in advertising, we’re out to solicit business, we only handle getting jobs." The tall girl with curly hair replied to Song Xiaodong with a smile.
"Oh..." Song Xiaodong nodded.
"What kind of advertising do you usually do then?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"An advertising company takes all kinds of ads, like cosmetics, real estate, pig feed, clothing, shoes, hats, anything really." The curly-haired tall girl answered.
"Oh..." Song Xiaodong nodded again.
"Why, do you have a product that needs advertising?" The curly-haired tall girl asked Song Xiaodong.
"Hm..."
The man beside Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but snort disdainfully.
"That’s right, I opened a slimming tea factory with two production lines. One line is already in full production, and our second product is currently being developed. We’ve also signed a supply agreement for next year with more than 30 xxx supermarket chain stores in Minghe City, so I was thinking it’s time to do some marketing, start building momentum from winter, and maybe make a splash by spring and summer next year." Song Xiaodong said.
The curly-haired tall girl looked Song Xiaodong up and down; his features hard and skin bronzed, he looked strong and rugged, dressed in ordinary sportswear, seeming more like a well-paid blue-collar worker, someone who does physical work. Hearing someone like him speak so methodically about opening a company and discuss production and marketing felt ridiculous, so she couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Ah..." The smoking man beside Song Xiaodong also seemed unable to listen any longer, his face displaying irritation as he sighed.
"You really have a slimming tea factory?" The curly-haired tall girl skeptically asked Song Xiaodong.
"Of course. It’s just that the factory was built only a few days ago, and our product hasn’t gained any fame yet. But next year’s supply is already arranged, so there shouldn’t be any issues with sales next year." Song Xiaodong replied casually to the curly-haired girl.
"But you really don’t look like a company boss!" The curly-haired girl said to Song Xiaodong.
"Really? Then what does a company boss look like?" Song Xiaodong asked the curly-haired girl.
"Hmm..." The curly-haired girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering:
"A company boss should be in a suit and tie, have a big belly, fat head, and Mediterranean hairline."
"Hahaha"
Both girls, Song Xiaodong, and the smoking man all couldn’t help but laugh.
"Miss, your description is truly vivid, but not all company bosses are like that. I also run a company, yet do you see me with a fat head and big belly?" The smoking man beside Song Xiaodong said to the curly-haired girl.
Song Xiaodong listened to what the smoking man said, silently thinking to himself:
"This guy’s bragging well, casually showing off."
"Hey beauty, looks like we’re hitting it big today, we didn’t even reach our destination yet and on the train, we encounter two bosses!" The curly-haired girl said to the short straight-haired girl beside her.
