Psychic Tattoo Chapter 72 The Emotion Weights

Liu Qinghua burst into tears when she looked at Brother Feng… So, this devoted man had always stayed with her.

Ever since then, they were in love with each other.

On the first day, Brother Feng gave her a gold ring. It only cost about seven or eight hundred, but Liu Qinghua knew Brother Feng's economic condition.

Then she asked Brother Feng: "How did you get this ring?"

Brother Feng told her that he just wanted to prepare something the first time he met Liu Qinghua during the first year of university. He earned several thousand, then bought a gold ring for her with the money he saved outside his living expenses.

But at the time, Brother Feng had no chance to give it to her, since Liu Qinghua had a boyfriend.

He kept waiting and waiting… Then, after two years, he finally got the chance.

Liu Qinghua felt his affection at that moment.

Then they fell in love with each other.

After some time, Liu Qinghua really thought Brother Feng was a trustworthy person, since Brother Feng was so progressive and had good humor. He was pleasant and capable of handling everything on campus well as the chairman of the student union.

Gradually, Liu Qinghua fell completely in love with Brother Feng. They came to my shop and got that tattoo on the calf to show their love.

Later, they graduated.

After graduation, Brother Feng told Liu Qinghua: "Huahua, I want to go to Beijing."

"Beijing? Why? The competition's so fierce there." Liu Qinghua tried to persuade Brother Feng to find a job in the local city, since the salary was not so bad there. They could earn six thousand a month, and within two years they could pay the down payment for the house and get married.

Brother Feng shook his head and told Liu Qinghua: "Well… Huahua, I have to earn money, and a lot of money, so that you could live better. Follow me, and I will give you the future you wanted."

At the time, Liu Qinghua was still a student. She was successfully persuaded by Brother Feng and abandoned her stable life in the small city. They got together five thousand Yuan and got on the green train to Beijing, where there was so much fierce competition.

They were in trouble as soon as they arrived in Beijing.

They were in Beijing, but they didn't know anybody and weren't familiar with the city… They didn't know what to do.

It was also very hard for them to stay at a hotel - they would spend all of the five thousand in a few days if they did that.

That night, Brother Feng found an internet cafe near the railway station and they stayed there the whole night. Liu Qinghua sat in his lap watching movies while Brother Feng was checking on his mobile phone for jobs and cheap housing.

Brother Feng found that there were many Beijing drifters renting the houses near the BTong Line.

He eventually found a place at "Tai Yi Yuan", several bus stops away from the starting station of the BTong Line. It was a big studio apartment that cost eight hundred in rent. He paid three months' rent in advance and one month for the deposit, and only had one or two thousand left.

The other tenant there was very rough. He was so standoffish that Liu Qinghua even wanted to quarrel with him.

Finally, Brother Feng resolved this matter.

He didn't sleep, and after he prepared everything for Liu Qinghua, he fought all the way on the bus and subway to find jobs in Zhongguancun.

It was not easy to find a good job, but Brother Feng and Liu Qinghua had to live, so he went there and worked as a computer salesman.

He made an agreement with the boss and got the payment on a daily basis… The boss would pay him a commission of 120 Yuan whenever he sold a computer.

On that day, he didn't sleep, and began working in Zhongguancun.

Those who didn't go to that area don't know how to sell computers.

In fact, in many famous electronics centers, such as Ding Long and Ba Ye, there were tens of sellers waiting near the elevators, who would rush to the customers whenever they came and shout: "Brother… Give me this chance."

"Hey, man, only three seconds, OK?"

"Come on, brother, come to me for computers at the lowest prices in Zhongguancun."

There were many sellers but few customers, and Brother Feng didn't have so much experience. He didn't sell any computers in his first three days.

Liu Qinghua also found it difficult to find good jobs.

They didn't get jobs, but used up the money very quickly. Every day they had to spend seventy or eighty Yuan.

Brother Feng had to take an empty rice box to work, and prepared food only for Liu Qinghua in the morning.

He could only have good meals in the evenings, after work.

After three days of living like this, Brother Feng finally succeeded. That day, he was supported by the gods and sold three computers, earning three hundred and sixty Yuan.

That boss was generous. He gave him an extra forty and rounded it up to four hundred.

With this money in his hands, Brother Feng cried… When he arrived home, he took Liu Qinghua to a restaurant and spent seventy Yuan on three dishes.

That night, Brother Feng was drunk for the first time since coming to Beijing… He bought a beer and drowned all of his misery. He told Liu Qinghua: "Qinghua, believe me, we will succeed one day."

Heaven pitied and protected them!

Later, Brother Feng became more and more professional. He could get at least one customer a day, and Liu Qinghua also found a job related to her major and worked in a small securities company with a salary of five thousand per month.

Brother Feng moved to Li Yuan with Liu Qinghua and rented a house there. They lived a so-called good life there.

Though they were living beyond their means, they didn't have to share the toilet with others or worry about living with strange roommates. They could even raise a pet Chihuahua.

Now they really had a better life than before.

Brother Feng became more ambitious. He decided to leave Zhongguancun. He didn't want to be just a computer salesman. He didn't want to be a working class man. He knew that he had to suffer those suspicious look and put up a smiling face in order to please customers if he worked there, even though he could earn twenty or thirty thousand per day.

He wanted to do something bigger - to get some people together to start a second-hand computer business.

But at that time, Liu Qinghua told Brother Feng: "I need to talk to you. I couldn't get a higher position in this company even though I have been working there for two years… I want to study further in a private training school for some time."

He asked Liu Qinghua: "How much is the fee?"

"Forty thousand per semester, and I want to study for two semesters," she replied.

Brother Feng thought for a while and agreed, he gave her those eighty thousand Yuan without hesitation, though it was all the money they had.

Now life was harder.

Brother Feng didn't quit his job. Now he had to maintain a stable income, so he didn't start his business and continued to work there.

Another year passed.

Liu Qinghua graduated from that school. She had learned a lot there. She had a distant relative who was an executive in a big securities company, so she bribed him with more than ten thousand Yuan and worked in that company.

Now Liu Qinghua had a higher salary. Brother Feng and Liu Qinghua celebrated - this was the end of their hard times.

Now Brother Feng didn't want to continue selling computers and wanted to leave Zhongguancun, so he started working on his second-hand computer business.

He decided to save money for another year, so that he could have enough capital to open a second-hand computer store.

Brother Feng worked very hard that year. His only skill was selling computers… At the same time, he trained a few employees, and had saved up more than two hundred thousand Yuan. This number was up to three hundred thousand when he borrowed another hundred thousand.

Liu Qinghua was such an excellent worker that year that she had been invited to a bigger company, and her salary was raised up to sixty or seventy thousand per month.

She became what most people wanted to be.

Brother Feng was under the pressure. He had a lower income than his wife, and so he had to work harder… He wanted to earn more money.

At the end of the year, Liu Qinghua joined the company's annual dinner. She got very drunk before going back home.

Brother Feng was only a computer salesman and he didn't need to attend parties, so he picked the drunk Liu Qinghua up from the bus station.

When they arrived home, Brother Feng prepared a tub of hot water for Liu Qinghua to bathe.

As she was having the bath, she was drunkenly shouting: "Brother Feng… we finally succeeded."

"Success. Yes, it's true."

But she was drunk and lost her inhibitions, so she turned around and said to Brother Feng: "I am successful now, but you are not so. You are only a computer salesman."

Brother Feng bit his lip.

Then Liu Qinghua continued: "At that party, everyone was introducing their boyfriends and they were all senior executives, writers, or university teachers, but it was hard for me to talk… since my boyfriend is only selling computers."

Brother Feng lowered his head and cried silently- he went there alone with five thousand Yuan and never cried when he starved for several days; he didn't even cry when a customer gave him three slaps in front of thousands of people due to his wrong words.

Now he burst into tears.

He didn't want to find an excuse. He didn't want to say that he was still selling computers only because he had to give the money to Liu Qinghua for her studies. He didn't even want to mention that he was still there because he was saving money for a new shop.

Instead, he got mad and made a crazy decision.
