Chapter 756
What kind of fetish is this?
The group was instantly stunned. In such a critical moment, they couldn't think of any way to deal with the situation. Instinctively, they ran downstairs to try and catch their father with their own strength.
However, an ordinary person could not accurately determine the location of the fall. If the location was slightly off, they would not be able to catch the person at all. Furthermore, even if they were very capable and could accurately determine the location of the fall and catch the person, the impact of such a large person falling from a building is not ordinary. Not only would they not be able to save the person, but they might also suffer great injuries themselves, or even lose their lives. This is not an exaggeration.
At this critical moment, Xu Bo'an rushed forward and stood firm in front of the siblings, gathering all his strength to catch the falling old man steadily, while he himself remained unmoved and unaffected by the impact.
The siblings were still in shock after witnessing this scene, and quickly ran to Xu Bo'an to check on their father.
The old man had already imagined his gruesome death the moment he slipped and fell. But the imagined pain didn't come. He cautiously opened his eyes and found himself unharmed. He felt incredibly fortunate, as if he had survived a catastrophe.
At this moment, the siblings saw their father open his eyes and asked anxiously, "Dad... Dad, how are you feeling?"
His daughter was especially overwhelmed with emotion when she saw her father open his eyes. Tears streamed down her face as she cried and held his hand, asking with great concern, "Dad...you scared me to death!"
Since his wife passed away, the old man had never felt this kind of genuine love again. His children were usually busy with work, but they would come back to visit him every now and then. However, they would only stay for a few minutes each time before leaving. He felt that his children did not love him that much. But at this critical moment, the father realized that his children still cared about him, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
Especially since his daughter is a typical career woman who is usually decisive and efficient in everything she does, but when faced with her father's absurd act of jumping off a building, she couldn't make up her mind and was easily deceived. It wasn't because she was easy to fool, but because she cared about herself and loved herself. Her concern made her lose her judgment for a moment.
His daughter cared for him so much, yet he conspired with his good-for-nothing son to cheat her. He was worse than an animal. At this moment, the old man couldn't help but feel remorseful for his actions.
Many parents often say that only they truly love their children, and that their children won't love them the same way after they grow up. However, the relationship between parents and children is often one of watching their children's backs gradually disappear into the distance throughout their lives. Even so, it doesn't prove that children don't love their parents. In fact, children's love for their parents is always hidden in their hearts. It's just that as they grow up, due to the change in their status, they begin to shoulder many responsibilities, face social pressures from all sides, and become busy, leaving them with no time to attend to many things. They also want to earn more money so that they can have someone to rely on in their old age, so that their parents can enjoy their later years in peace, and so that their children can have a better family to support them.
Although life in this world is not always in our control, and it's not true that the harder you work, the more you will reap the rewards, the children still try their best to realize their full potential and strive to make their families live a better life. Even though things often don't go as planned, they continue to work hard silently.
Some selfish parents in life will not be happy for you just because you post a few photos on social media of you relaxing, traveling, and eating delicious food. They will assume that you are enjoying yourself, but they will not see the hard work you do all day behind the scenes.
So sometimes it's not that children don't love their parents, but rather that the roles between children and parents change as children grow up. Children need to be independent and will no longer rely on their parents as they did when they were young, while parents gradually get older and their feelings for us are also quietly changing, and they eventually need to rely on their children.
So to put it bluntly, whether it's parents or children, as they grow older, they only face a change in roles. The love they have for each other in their hearts will never be lacking, except for a very few selfish individuals.
As for the father of the three siblings, he is a rather selfish person in life. Although his daughter gives him 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses so that he can have a better quality of life in his old age, he still goes to such an absurd place. He did not feel any remorse for his behavior before, and he felt that this was what he deserved.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Even a selfish person like him, after experiencing a near-death experience, often suddenly understands many truths and deeply realizes that his family is the most important person to him.
He smiled and said to his three siblings, "Dad, it's alright, don't worry!"
Xu Bo'an observed that the old man was not in any discomfort before putting him down.
The old man and his two siblings quickly expressed their gratitude to Xu Bo'an and apologized for their disrespectful behavior earlier. They invited Xu Bo'an to come to their home for a visit, but Xu Bo'an, thinking that his family had just gone through such a big event and must have a lot to talk about, politely declined.
After saying goodbye to the group, Xu Bo'an headed towards the seed shop. He had already scouted the location when he came here to buy grain seeds last time, so this time he went straight to the place where he bought seeds last time, "Ruitianxiang Seed Shop," which was also the largest and most complete seed company on this street.
Because it was almost time to close for the afternoon, there weren't many people in the store. As soon as Xu Bo'an entered the store, the clerk who had greeted him last time recognized him at a glance. Last time, the clerk saw that Xu Bo'an had bought so many seeds and thought he was a hidden big customer. In order to boost her own sales, she wanted to add Xu Bo'an on WeChat, but Xu Bo'an refused. Seeing that Xu Bo'an had come again this time, the clerk quickly went up to greet him.
"Sir, welcome to our 'Ruitianxiang Seed Shop'. How can I help you?"
Xu Bo'an, thinking of having the monkeys in the bonsai world brew various kinds of monkey wine, asked, "How many kinds of the best fruit seeds and flower seeds that can be made into food do you have?"
The shop assistant gave Xu Bo'an a professional smile and said, "We have 123 kinds of fruit seeds and more than 80 kinds of flower seeds that can be made into food. Which kind of seeds do you need? I'll introduce them to you!"
Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said directly to the shop assistant, "Give me a bag of all the best kinds of fruit seeds and flower seeds in your store and pack them up."
It wasn't that Xu Bo'an was particularly wealthy, but he knew that you get what you pay for; the more expensive the seeds, the better they were in terms of both survival rate and yield. The shop assistant was overjoyed to hear that Xu Bo'an wanted to buy so many seeds. Sure enough, his judgment was correct—this man was indeed a big customer. Whether it was this time or the last time he bought something, he always picked the best from the store. This meant his sales target for the month was guaranteed.
The shop assistant said happily, "Okay, sir, please wait in the rest area for a moment, and I will go and prepare your order right away!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay!"
The shop assistant warmly led Xu Bo'an to the rest area, poured him a glass of water, and then left to prepare the order.
About twenty minutes later, the shop assistant had finished packing all the goods. Xu Bo'an paid and was about to leave when the shop assistant quickly reminded him, "Hello sir, for a single purchase of 120 yuan or more, we offer free delivery within 10 kilometers. You can add me on WeChat, so if you have any needs, just tell me, and we'll pack the goods and deliver them directly to your door. It's very convenient. I can tell you're a successful person, and your time must be very valuable. This way, you won't have to go back and forth and waste your time!"
Those who work in sales must be enthusiastic and talkative. To put it bluntly, they must be willing to swallow their pride and not be afraid of customer rejection. You never know, you might get unexpected results.
This shop assistant was like that. When Xu Bo'an came to buy grain seeds last time, she knew that Xu Bo'an was a potential big customer, so she asked to add Xu Bo'an on WeChat. At that time, Xu Bo'an politely refused. She knew that he did not want to add her on WeChat, but she was not embarrassed to ask again because of Xu Bo'an's refusal last time. She still made the same request with a smile.
She knew that if she didn't seize the opportunity with such a big client, she wouldn't be so lucky to serve him every time he came back. In that case, another employee would poach the client, and she would lose a lot of commission, which would be a huge loss.
Whether they agree or not is another matter, but you have to speak up and take the initiative. If they agree, you will gain a stable major client and won't have to worry about future performance. If they don't agree, we won't lose a single hair, right?
The reason Xu Bo'an didn't agree to add the shop assistant on WeChat last time was because it was his first time buying seeds for the little people in the bonsai world to experiment with. He wasn't sure if the seeds in the real world could grow in the bonsai world. If they couldn't grow, he definitely wouldn't buy seeds again. In that case, adding the shop assistant would be a waste of time and effort. So, Xu Bo'an didn't agree to add the shop assistant on WeChat last time.
But this time was different. After Xu Bo'an bought the seeds in the real world and had the little people plant them, not only did the things Xu Bo'an had worried about not happen, but the harvest was also several times that of the real world. As a result, Xu Bo'an would need to provide the little people in the bonsai world with various seeds on a long-term basis.
If I were to come here frequently, it would indeed be a waste of time. Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said, "Okay!"
The shop assistant was overjoyed, as if she had won the lottery, when she heard that Xu Bo'an had agreed to add her on WeChat. She was so excited that she quickly took out her phone and added Xu Bo'an on WeChat.
Then, with a smile, he said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright, sir, if you need to buy seeds in the future, just contact me. You're welcome anytime!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay!"
Then the shop assistant instructed the delivery person, "Please arrange for this gentleman's order to be delivered to his door as soon as possible!"
Although Xu Bo'an bought a lot of fruit and flower seeds today, these seeds come in smaller packages than grain seeds, making them easier to carry. If he had them delivered to his door, he would have had to wait at home. Considering the convenience, Xu Bo'an said, "Thank you, but no need. I have a car, so it will be easy for me to take them back myself!"
The shop assistant then said to Xu Bo'an very enthusiastically, "Oh, is that so? Then let our staff take it over for you!"
Now that the experiment of planting grains for the little people in the bonsai world has been successful, we still need to buy them some farming tools in advance. The shop selling farming tools is right next to this store. If we ask the deliveryman to help carry the seeds over, we would have to walk there and back, which would be quite troublesome. So Xu Bo'an said, "You're too kind. These things aren't heavy. I can carry them myself. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first!"
After leaving the seed shop, Xu Bo'an went to the farm tool store next door. This farm tool store had a wide variety of products. In addition to traditional tools such as hoes, sickles, shovels, and rakes, the store also had models and video materials of modern agricultural equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and sprayers on the shelves next to it, with signs indicating that you could visit the store at any time.
Xu Bo'an bought these things to sell to the little people in the bonsai world. These models are enough; there's no need to go to the actual site to see the goods. The price of the models is definitely much cheaper than those large machines.
It's not that Xu Bo'an is unwilling to invest in the miniature people in the bonsai world, but even if Xu Bo'an were willing to spend money to buy these large machines, if he wanted to put them in the bonsai world, he would still need to shrink them down, which would be as pointless as taking off his pants to fart, and there was really no need for that.
No normal person would throw away money that is completely unnecessary, unless they are a fool with too much money.
Furthermore, the biggest advantage of buying this kind of modern agricultural mold is that Shi Changliang can help modify it, making it more convenient and safer for the little people to operate.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said to the shop assistant next to him, "Hello, I'd like to buy these molds. How much are they?"
The shop assistant was stunned by Xu Bo'an's words, momentarily speechless. What kind of new fetish was this? He had worked here for so many years and had never encountered a single person wanting to buy molds. (End of Chapter)
