Chapter 25 Section 24
Back then, Xiao Su lived in the downtown area, which was called Huajie.An alley leading out to the main road was full of manholes with stolen covers.There is a section of the main road that is very busy, with department stores and brand-name counters lined up, but after this section is deserted, the street lights are not very bright at night, and thieves specialize in this area.Further to the west, the area close to the high-tech zone suddenly became lively again, especially at night, the hotel bars with beautiful lights, and the first thing we saw: the sauna room.
I was naive at the time, thinking that the sauna room was just for steaming. Yang Chi said, take a shower downstairs and have sex upstairs.As soon as he heard this kind of tone, he had been there before, but he refused to admit it, saying that he went with the client, and the client went upstairs to have fun, while he steamed downstairs.I said, after steaming for so long, you should be familiar with it, right?Lao Yang said, I can go to play video games, there are everything in the sauna.Then he said, of course, you should also know a man's curiosity, I went to see a little bit, the girls are all in the glass window, that one is called "goldfish bowl", you can pick whatever you want.As a man, Xiao Su also became curious, and asked: "Can you really pick whatever you want?" Yang Chi said regretfully, "Xiao Su, you are already married."
That place is the red light district of Daicheng, speaking of it, it is the closest to Xiao Su's house.The name of Huajie where he lives is very informal, reminiscent of a street of brothels.Actually no, since I was a child, the people living on the street are ordinary people, and there are no chickens.In Xiaosu’s generation, the sauna room will not be opened in the alley, and the flower street has a false name, until one evening, when we were playing with the children in the alley, we saw a group of girls with low breasts and thighs exposed, like their mother’s art troupe. Wear a cotton coat and go to the red light district.Yes, they rent a house here.
People were not used to living on the same street with prostitutes back then, thinking they were from another world.Later, Mrs. Wan upstairs broke this pattern, but it was still different. People generally believed that Mrs. Wan was forced, while other prostitutes were voluntary prostitutes.This view is actually not fair.
At the door of Xiao Su's house, we saw girls with low breasts and thighs showing off. They were going to work, otherwise they didn't need to dress like this.They walked through the street frankly, glanced at us, and did not speak.We blush and beat like naked.I wondered why they didn't seduce us on the street so they wouldn't have to go to work.Why don't they do this, come over like Mrs. Wan and ask us "Do you want to eat plums?"Later Yang Chi said that they belonged to nightclubs, not street girls. Nightclubs have a strict procedure, and if you can't go in, you can whore.This process makes everything logical and makes "work" have a sense of existence. To put it bluntly, it allows girls to earn more money and spend less effort.
In Yang Chi's marketing career, he has seen all kinds of prostitute girls. He said that the worst place is the place where the parking lot is eaten. The girls are all served by truck drivers.Truck driver is the loneliest profession in the world. He runs the transportation line all the year round, watching the world go by without anyone to talk to.They also drive at night, they sleep very short, and they don't have much chance of whoring, they only have a quick sex after dinner.It's hard for those girls to wait on the truck drivers, because lonely people are always full of resentment.However, even so, they are still trying to carry on the business, hoping that more truck drivers will patronize.In some of the lowest places, naked under their overcoats, they go to the side of the road in the dark and open their clothes to the roaring high beams.
Yang Chi said that in southern cities, the downstairs of those hotels are full of girls, there are hundreds of them.They sit there in the humid heat, it's a spectacle, sometimes they call you "boss", sometimes they call you "darling", sometimes they touch you for free, sometimes they look quiet and lonely.Yang Chi also mentioned the county towns. In the counties with better economic development, many people with money are stupid, and girls from other places will flood in. Those poor counties are more conservative. In the poorest places, they buy women from human traffickers.
Yang Chi said that prostitution is very depraved, really depraved, and the most annoying thing about selling pesticides is taking customers to prostitutes.This matter cannot be clearly stated, the money was reimbursed by the factory, and the title was meal expenses and entertainment expenses.Clients take a sauna, he stays outside, and sometimes he thinks this is the biggest charity, because at least half of the money goes to the girls, and they are really poor, and the money they earn will also sent to a very poor family.I argued that high-end prostitutes are richer than you, and female celebrities are also high-end prostitutes, and they can earn hundreds of thousands by sleeping with rich people.Yang Chi said, well, I hope that all men can go to high-end prostitutes and spend money like water to sleep with female stars, so that they don't look too depraved.
This is the new look of the 1990s. When these things are told to later generations, people will not find it surprising, because it has become a usual scene.It seemed to us at the time to be both new and terrifying, and the moral sense collapsed all at once.You have to know that we are people who are close to bad boys, and our moral sense can't stand it, let alone other people.Yet they firmly hold the position, more stubbornly than we are, and more real.
I asked Yang Chi more than once, have you ever gone whoring.Yang Chi's answer was only two words: no.But his attitude has many kinds, sometimes decisive, sometimes shy, sometimes hesitant.I also asked Xiao Su, and Xiao Su's answer was: What are you talking about.That's really nothing.Then I stopped asking, it was like staring at someone and asking "do you masturbate", the answer was meaningless and made me look neurotic.
Xiaosu lived in an old house with insufficient light and poor sound insulation. She ran to the second floor and opened the window, and she could see the opposite house.At first there lived an old man who stood at the window and nagged us all day, saying that we were too noisy.Later, he moved away and rented out the house, and two girls with low breasts and thighs showed up at the window.
We don't go to the second floor very often, and we felt very welcome when the girls came.The lustful imagination caused by this ultra-close distance is very violent, even Yang Chi, who has seen hundreds of prostitutes gathering, cannot help but be touched.Sometimes Xiao Su went to the window to dry clothes, and when she came downstairs, I asked him, "What are they doing?" Xiao Su said, "One is watching TV, and the other is also watching TV." In the evening, they went out together, One goes to work and the other goes to work too.We were bored and commented on them: the tall one loves to study more, she often watches "News Network" while sitting in front of the TV, the one with moles on her face is more literary and always watches Taiwanese TV dramas.The tall one, serious, doesn't like to smile very much, she often snuffs out the cigarette butts in the ashtray, and looks cynical, the one with the mole on her face seems easy to approach, she also smokes, throwing cigarette butts everywhere, Maybe the old houses in this area will be burned down.The tall one, she always closed the curtains with a clatter, and the one with the mole on her face, she always opened the curtains quietly for us to take a look.
The three of us played cards, and those who lost the bet would move a chair upstairs and sit at the window to watch them.It's pretty boring to do, but it's better than losing money.After a long time of eye contact, it lasted for a week, and finally one day, the girl with a mole on her face said to me through the window: "Brother, is your house for rent?"
I said I am not the landlord, please ask for you.I ran downstairs to ask Xiao Su, Xiao Su knew I was making trouble, shook her head and went to cook.I ran up again and said, "He doesn't seem to agree." The girl with the mole on her face smiled, but stopped talking.But even so, they did not refuse us to watch, but we felt very embarrassed after watching it for a while: first of all, decent girls can’t look at it like this; up.
Later, someone came to drive them away. It seems to be the cadres on the street. The reason for driving them out is very unclear. It is said that someone reported that they were too noisy.This means that they receive guests at home.But according to Yang Chi's point of view, they were falsely accused. They went to work from dusk until late at night, and nightclubs earned a lot of money. They didn't need to do this kind of business at home, and took risks to earn hundreds of dollars each time.Later, I heard that they hang their underwear on the street. (There is no way, their windows face north, so they have to set up bamboo poles to hang their underwear on the street. Many people in that area hang their clothes on the street.) Once The male owner of this household contracted genital warts after being blown by the wind onto a quilt that was drying in another household.After hearing this, Yang Chi said, he should ask the host if he stole other people's underwear and put it on himself.
One late night, Xiao Su was alone at home, went out to buy cigarettes, and the dog ran away again.Xiao Su chased wildly on the empty and deserted street. This time, it didn't run to the dog meat shop, but to the direction of the development zone, and came directly to the red light district.The market was closing down there too, and the girls came out in twos and threes to sit on the plastic stools at night food stalls and eat.The dog rushed towards a row of naked thighs, and spun in the legs. The girls bent down to look at the dog. Xiao Su stopped quickly to avoid falling into a row of cleavage.At this time he saw a girl with a mole on her face, picking up the dog and looking up at him.
"Hey," she said, "it's your dog."
Xiao Su said, "Yes, it ran away."
He stretched out his hands, trying to hold the dog back, when the tall girl appeared in front of him, and he stretched out his hands as if to hug her.Xiao Su suddenly withdrew her hands and stood there dumbfounded.The tall girl turned around, took the dog from the girl with moles on her face, and handed it to Xiao Su. Then she never looked at Xiao Su again, and sat on a plastic stool to eat silently.The girl with the mole on her face turned her head to talk to Xiao Su, but the tall girl tapped the side of her bowl with her chopsticks, as if to remind her to maintain her dignity.So they lowered their heads to eat together, and looked up at the street together.
On the way home, Xiao Su felt very depressed. Her image was too low, and even prostitutes were unwilling to seduce him.Tell Yang Chi about this, Yang Chi comforts him, it's not that you are unattractive, and it's not that you are poor (of course you are poor enough), but that the girls in the nightclub don't have to work and work hard after get off work, and do it with you Laboratory technicians are the same.These two girls may like you, or they may hate you, but the only thing they can do when they eat at the night food stall is to treat you like a normal person.
Another day, Xiao Su went out at night and saw a girl in the red-light district chasing a rider on a tricycle in the street with high heels.The tricycle driver was smiling obscenely while stepping on the pedals, the car was about to fly.The girl couldn't catch up and threw the high-heeled shoes at the driver. Xiao Su saw the purple shoes flying over her head, drawing a parabola, hitting the back of the driver's head, and landing on the back seat of the tricycle.The coachman laughed wildly, scolded the bitch all the way, and ran away like that.
Xiao Su felt that this world was new and decayed, he was not compatible enough, and he didn't know how to get along.As his hometown, this place called Daicheng, the memories of his childhood are rapidly fading, and nothing can be matched.Even I am no longer myself. I went to the hospital for a checkup and found abnormal liver function. I am afraid that methamidophos has already taken effect in the body.Xiao Su knows that if you leave Daicheng and go to other places, you will also see all kinds of new and decayed things. This is the world, but the most urgent thing is to leave methamidophos, which is really not available in other places. You can run as far as you can. far away.
By the autumn of 1997, Yang Chi had sold thousands of tons of pesticides and herbicides. The other salesmen were almost jealous. The pesticide factory regarded Yang Chi as a gold medal salesman. Leadership praise.Zhu Kang said to the leader: Yang Chi was purely lucky. The area he was in charge of was plagued by insects, so his performance was outstanding.After hearing this, the leader changed Yang Chi to another area, so Chongzi followed him there and continued to perform well. Yang Chi is very popular with local customers. Agricultural materials companies, plant protection stations, and private owners from all walks of life are willing to deal with him.The reason is that he is not greedy for food or lust.I was very surprised about this, so I asked him for advice: Those people love whoring, why would they like someone like you who doesn't like whoring?Yang Chi said: The nature of human beings is to be kind. People who don't like prostitution are more idealistic and less like bad boys, and they will be respected by people; They go out to play with women, but I fucking accompany them to fight the landlord. I win a lot of money every time. I am a science student and a runner-up in the Olympiad. It is easy to win them. I lose all the money I win before the game is over. Go back, in this way, can people not take care of me? Later, Zhu Kang discovered Yang Chi's secret, and Zhu Kang also went to gamble, losing a lot of money to customers.A phone call called Yang Chi to the local area. Yang Chi won a double share for him and came back, and then lost the winning share, so that they were even.Zhu Kang was very happy, and the local customers also fell in love with Yang Chi, thinking that he was righteous and sensible.Clients don't live by gambling, it's purely for pleasure, playing cards with Yang Chi is a real pleasure, sent a big list to Yang Chi, and told Zhu Kang, you don't need to come here anymore, we only play with Yang Chi Do business late.After that time, Zhu Yang was completely broken. I was educated by Yang Chi and became interested in marketing.I am not qualified to be an accountant, and I cannot manage accounts for my boss. There is no doubt about it, but this does not prevent me from spending money for my boss.Making money requires a loyal, desperate, and rambunctious person like me. At that time, some door-to-door salesmen appeared on the streets.This is a new profession, people have never seen it before, and it gradually declined until the gates of various residential areas and office buildings were plastered with "No Sales".That's because people get fooled enough.My mother once received a salesman who sold washing powder and stood at the door of my house begging my mother.My mother said that there is still a lot of washing powder at home, and she took out half a bag to show him.He said: "How about this, exchange my whole bag of washing powder for your half bag, you try it, if it works well, I will come again." My mother believed him and changed it.Putting his washing powder into the washing machine, a strange chemical reaction occurred, and everything coagulated and became like paste, and the clothes were useless.My dad took a closer look and thought it was something starchy, but it couldn't be white powder anyway.The bastard salesman just cheated my mother of half a pack of washing powder, is it worth it? Later, the routine changed. They brought all kinds of small commodities that were not worth mentioning, and when they ran to the door of the house, they said that they would give you something for free.Many people accepted it with a smile, and these people said, I have to charge you a little more for promotion.Most of the time they get rejected, and once in a while, they manage to swindle a little money from one of those semi-demented home-goers.This kind of salesmanship is infuriating, and it makes the laid-off people in our new village angry, wanting to punch their innocent faces.Using all kinds of psychological deceit, sweeping buildings, breaking legs, being scolded, paying a huge price just to defraud a little change from the poor.It was only later that I realized that it was like this if people couldn’t survive, at least they didn’t have a partnership to rob.It's worth reassuring yourself. At that time, I also found a job as a salesman in the talent market. To put it bluntly, they were all foreigners.In the morning, they gathered in a dilapidated office, and the general manager of the local branch handed out the products they sold that day, sometimes it was washing powder, sometimes it was belts, and they didn't know what they were selling before they went out.Then they high-fived each other, chanted slogans, and rushed out in groups of two to the unfamiliar Daicheng.Among them, I, a native of Daicheng, looked panic-stricken, like a timid turtle. There is no basic salary in this job, only a commission, and a bright future.The general manager said that a person with good performance will be assigned to a prefecture-level city after several rounds of assessments, and he will also be the general manager. With a population of millions, you can sell it.That tone seems to want to carve up China.The general manager also taught me a unique high-five gesture. Before going out to sell, each of us has to slap our right palms with this fat man in an outdated suit and shout "Yeah". Then, the palms of the two spun around, and then held tightly together.The bastard pinched me three times with all his strength like a gripper, looked straight at me, and embarrassed me, as if my hand turned into a breast at that moment. "Young dreams will come true," said the general manager. I look at him, and the people around me.All the reality is condensed in them, the reality like garbage, the manager said this is a dream.I'm not much better, but I only lie to myself, not to others. I was running around with a very young guy with deep-sighted glasses and pimples all over his face.In the end, I have no interest in work at all, I am only interested in him, almost experiencing life.He arrogantly thought that he would get rich and be promoted to the district manager of a certain city, so that he would not have to sell anymore, but sit on the bonus and exploit other salesmen.He believed that there should be 10,000 subordinates in Dai City, and if each of them earned him one yuan a day, he could earn 300,000 yuan a month.I asked him what he did before, and he said that he had just graduated from college and had never done anything before.This person is not interested in talking to me at all, looking at me, it seems that I am already one of his 10,000 subordinates. On this day, he took a pack of counterfeit Flying Eagle razor blades and led me into the Credit Department of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.It is said that this kind of blade can shave the beard directly with a little water, which is a new invention.He really succeeded in selling it, and a female bank clerk was persuaded by him to buy a box of razor blades.I don't know why this woman needs a razor, I'm just scared for her man.Later, she also seemed to be a little suspicious, so she took out a blade and said, "Come on, let me have a look at your beard first." The guy with the pimples, he's such a believer in his product, he puts the blade in the holder, dips it in a little tap water, and shaves a few times on his cheeks, but the beard is still there, he shaves a few more times Next, the beard was gone, and the two pimples were cut off, and the blood was flowing.The woman was terrified.With tears in his eyes, he said: "I'm already like this, you can buy a few more boxes." Yang Chi looked down on this kind of salesmanship, and told me, don't do it anymore, people who really understand sales will never waste their intelligence for razors, let alone cheating the old and weak, women and children, they at least To be able to fool the boss of your own company—fuck it, you must have at least a basic salary, right? From the end of the 1990s to the first decade of the new century, marketing became a popular profession, because things are hard to sell, and it is difficult to find marketing geniuses from the masses, so this profession needs more people to do it , The elimination rate is extremely high.And people engaged in marketing have also discovered that there are not many things worth selling for. Most of the products are actually shit. If there is no shit, it will be very expensive and it is still not easy to sell.This creates a paradox.The bosses think that if my products are selling well, why do you need your salesmen?The salesperson thinks that your product is so bad, and you have the nerve to say that I won't sell it.In this tug-of-war of ideas, people around me, including myself, went through a deadlocked youth.But you have to be thankful. In this era, there is a profession called marketing. It allows a group of people to get away with it. The new owner, hit the big luck and endured, learned nonsense, revolutionary, and practical life experience from various fiascos.Without marketing, I think we'd all be purebred idiots, knowing nothing and gaining nothing. At that time, Yang Chi was proud of himself, and the only headache was that he had to sell products in the worst areas in China.He often said that he should be in a Grade A office building in Lujiazui, make a proposal, make a few phone calls, and the money will come.But it's impossible, he sells pesticides.He commutes to and from the county seat in a minibus, carrying a black bag, and dressed like a poor man. In fact, he is alone responsible for 30% of the sales of state-owned Longyang brand pesticides. If he doesn't work, the factory will die There must be less than half of the people laid off.Doudizhu is also risky. Once you lose, you have to pay for it yourself. No one in the factory knows about this, except that he is so good that he can go to Las Vegas to make a fortune. One day, he returned to Daicheng with a sad face just a few days after his business trip.When asked what happened, he said that he was robbed at Xi'an Railway Station. When he arrived at the station, he felt anxious and went to the bathroom. He held a knife to his waist and robbed them all.Yang Chi asked the robber: "You robbed me, and someone else robs me, what should I do?" The robber said, "Just tell him that I, 'Xiao Wei Zhenhai', has already robbed you." Just like that arrogantly gone.Yang Chi thought, you hammer, why don't you say that you are Xiao Li Zicheng? Yang Chi went back to the factory and told the story, hoping that the sales department could buy him a huge amount of life insurance alone.Minister Bao said that this is impossible and everyone is taking risks. Take Zhu Kang as an example. He went to Shanxi on a business trip and was knocked down with a stick. When he woke up, he was lying naked on the coal bed of a freight train. Hearing the bell of "The East Is Red", the station is already the great capital Beijing.The performance of salesmen is high and low, but when they die, the value of life is the same.
In winter, under the leadership of Yang Chi, I went to Daicheng's famous bathing place "Dahe Hot Spring", which is also in the development zone. I spent the first half of my life taking baths in factories, the bathhouses of the pesticide factory, the bathhouse of the saccharin factory, and occasionally I would go to time-honored shops like "Tsinghua Pool", but I have never soaked in hot springs, and there are no hot springs in Daicheng.Yang Chi said: "You'll know it after soaking, it's comfortable. I happen to have some reimbursement quota in my hand, and it's a waste if you don't go." It is really luxurious inside, with clear water, a surf bath, and a sauna.We were sitting in the sauna room. Yang Chi knew that I hadn't steamed before, so he poured a few ladles of water into the charcoal stove. I immediately felt numb all over, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran out and sat outside to catch my breath.Yang Chi said, there is a massage upstairs, do you want to go?I said I don't want to.Yang Chi said, instead of taking you to find a girl, let's have a Thai massage.I went with him, and a skinny girl kicked my 150-pound body into the air and broke it apart, causing me a lot of pain.After playing with it, I felt weak all over, and my eyes were full of tears, as if I had experienced a broken virginity again. Yang Chi took me to a rooftop again, with the night sky above my head and a bathtub under my feet.We got into the bath, and it was snowing. It reminded me of the scene of watching the snow naked with the factory doctor sister. It was a bit sad.The snow falls from the sky and floats in the bath, which is very beautiful. Yang Chi said: "This is how the Japanese bathe." "Yamato Onsen." I said, enjoying the warmth of the water and the chill of the air. The bathhouse has four floors, and the rooftop is on the third floor.I lay in the bath, looked up and saw a building not far away, brightly lit.Yang Chi said: "It used to be a wilderness here. This high-rise building was built last year. It is an office building in the development zone. It is taller than 'Dahe Hot Spring'. When those companies moved in, they didn't know that there was an open-air bath here." I pulled a towel over my lower body. "That is to say, people in that building can see us taking a bath here with bare buttocks." "That's right." Yang Chi said, "I could go to work in those companies and be a white-collar worker, but now I can only lie here with my butt naked, and let the female white-collar worker look at me naked from a distance during the overtime night. Haha Ha ha ha ha."
By the autumn of 1997, Yang Chi had sold thousands of tons of pesticides and herbicides. The other salesmen were almost jealous. The pesticide factory regarded Yang Chi as a gold medal salesman. Leadership praise.Zhu Kang said to the leader: Yang Chi was purely lucky.

From the end of the 1990s to the first decade of the new century, marketing became a popular profession, because things are hard to sell, and it is difficult to find marketing geniuses from the masses, so this profession needs more people to do it , The elimination rate is extremely high.And people engaged in marketing have also discovered that there are not many things worth selling for. Most of the products are actually shit. If there is no shit, it will be very expensive and it is still not easy to sell.This creates a paradox.The bosses think that if my products are selling well, why do you need your salesmen?The salesperson thinks that your product is so bad, and you have the nerve to say that I won't sell it.In this tug-of-war of ideas, people around me, including myself, went through a deadlocked youth.But you have to be thankful. In this era, there is a profession called marketing. It allows a group of people to get away with it. The new owner, hit the big luck and endured, learned nonsense, revolutionary, and practical life experience from various fiascos.Without marketing, I think we'd all be purebred idiots, knowing nothing and gaining nothing. At that time, Yang Chi was proud of himself, and the only headache was that he had to sell products in the worst areas in China.He often said that he should be in a Grade A office building in Lujiazui, make a proposal, make a few phone calls, and the money will come.But it's impossible, he sells pesticides.He commutes to and from the county seat in a minibus, carrying a black bag, and dressed like a poor man. In fact, he is alone responsible for 30% of the sales of state-owned Longyang brand pesticides. If he doesn't work, the factory will die There must be less than half of the people laid off.Doudizhu is also risky. Once you lose, you have to pay for it yourself. No one in the factory knows about this, except that he is so good that he can go to Las Vegas to make a fortune. One day, he returned to Daicheng with a sad face just a few days after his business trip.When asked what happened, he said that he was robbed at Xi'an Railway Station. When he arrived at the station, he felt anxious and went to the bathroom. He held a knife to his waist and robbed them all.Yang Chi asked the robber: "You robbed me, and someone else robs me, what should I do?" The robber said, "Just tell him that I, 'Xiao Wei Zhenhai', has already robbed you." Just like that arrogantly gone.Yang Chi thought, you hammer, why don't you say that you are Xiao Li Zicheng? Yang Chi went back to the factory and told the story, hoping that the sales department could buy him a huge amount of life insurance alone.Minister Bao said that this is impossible and everyone is taking risks. Take Zhu Kang as an example. He went to Shanxi on a business trip and was knocked down with a stick. When he woke up, he was lying naked on the coal bed of a freight train. Hearing the bell of "The East Is Red", the station is already the great capital Beijing.The performance of salesmen is high and low, but when they die, the value of life is the same.
In winter, under the leadership of Yang Chi, I went to Daicheng's famous bathing place "Dahe Hot Spring", which is also in the development zone. I spent the first half of my life taking baths in factories, the bathhouses of the pesticide factory, the bathhouse of the saccharin factory, and occasionally I would go to time-honored shops like "Tsinghua Pool", but I have never soaked in hot springs, and there are no hot springs in Daicheng.Yang Chi said: "You'll know it after soaking, it's comfortable. I happen to have some reimbursement quota in my hand, and it's a waste if you don't go." It is really luxurious inside, with clear water, a surf bath, and a sauna.We were sitting in the sauna room. Yang Chi knew that I hadn't steamed before, so he poured a few ladles of water into the charcoal stove. I immediately felt numb all over, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran out and sat outside to catch my breath.Yang Chi said, there is a massage upstairs, do you want to go?I said I don't want to.Yang Chi said, instead of taking you to find a girl, let's have a Thai massage.I went with him, and a skinny girl kicked my 150-pound body into the air and broke it apart, causing me a lot of pain.After playing with it, I felt weak all over, and my eyes were full of tears, as if I had experienced a broken virginity again. Yang Chi took me to a rooftop again, with the night sky above my head and a bathtub under my feet.We got into the bath, and it was snowing. It reminded me of the scene of watching the snow naked with the factory doctor sister. It was a bit sad.The snow falls from the sky and floats in the bath, which is very beautiful. Yang Chi said: "This is how the Japanese bathe." "Yamato Onsen." I said, enjoying the warmth of the water and the chill of the air. The bathhouse has four floors, and the rooftop is on the third floor.I lay in the bath, looked up and saw a building not far away, brightly lit.Yang Chi said: "It used to be a wilderness here. This high-rise building was built last year. It is an office building in the development zone. It is taller than 'Dahe Hot Spring'. When those companies moved in, they didn't know that there was an open-air bath here." I pulled a towel over my lower body. "That is to say, people in that building can see us taking a bath here with bare buttocks." "That's right." Yang Chi said, "I could go to work in those companies and be a white-collar worker, but now I can only lie here with my butt naked, and let the female white-collar worker look at me naked from a distance during the overtime night. Haha Ha ha ha ha."
