Chapter 2582 Unbearable Forgettable
Ten minutes later, Xu Hu and his friends arrived at a hotel on the other end of the city. Judging from the location of the city buildings, the hotel was almost out of the city. There were probably fewer customers and there were people coming over in the middle of the night. The staff were quite happy and enthusiastically led them to the room. They also gave them midnight snacks and breakfast the next day.
The You sisters were paying attention to the announcements of the local government, but after a night, the government did not send any relevant information about the Cultural Street, and there were no concentrated disappearance cases and death cases on the Jixin terminal, so they believed that this should be a more targeted copy, and the location was limited to the vicinity of Cultural Street.
Xu Huo was not very relieved and asked the painting girls to stop getting close to the Cultural Street. Since the transportation was so convenient, it would be okay to go to the next city during the day to play. He visited the writer Jingshi as originally planned.
After two in-depth conversations, Jingshi proposed to introduce him to the watch master, not to let him be an apprentice, but to let him watch the master’s process of making watches.
"Things can resonate with each other. Sometimes I call this burst of resonance inspiration." Jingshi said: "Thirty years ago, I was just a young writer who made money by writing curiosity stories. By chance, I met a scene of a tool maker polishing props and clocks. At that moment, my mind was like some force hitting it, and countless completely different ideas were bursting out. That was also the turning point in my life."
She stared at Xu Huo, "I hope you can have such good luck too."
Of course, Xu Huo would not refuse and thanked him solemnly. Jingshi learned that he would not leave in the past few days, so he simply invited him to live in his own home. In this way, she contacted her grandson''s teacher and could take him there at any time.
Xu Huo admitted that he had a few friends staying in the hotel, and it was really inconvenient to come to disturb him, so he declined.
Jingshi did not force it, but said that he could come over to talk at any time.
Xu Huo left after lunch. He found a quiet place and began to search for the ranking of tool makers in this partition on the Jixin terminal.
However, the search results disappointed him a little because according to some organizations, the ranking of tool makers is not very reliable, and some tool makers are just famous. Instead, the ranking of watch masters is relatively authoritative and has been recognized by all sectors of society.
The rankings are publicly visible. Many online platforms have special discussion areas. If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Huo saw an account called "The No. 1 in the World" slammed the rankings on various platforms, and also commented on watch masters on the rankings one by one. Not only attacked other people''s professional level, but also brought out other people''s black materials, such as one city and one home, and threatened the association members to agree to shameless requests in exchange for orders and rankings, etc.
Anyway, in the opinion of "the world''s number one", almost all members of the Watch Association on the rankings are not good things. The key is that a lot of his black materials are well-founded, and it seems that it is true that someone will dig it out carefully. Therefore, although this account is not good, it still has a lot of fans.
Seeing the black material and the verbal battle with watch master fans, Xu Huo immediately imagined an old man with sparse white hair, staying up late to stare at the terminal and people.
No need to think, this old man must be Mr. Xi. No wonder his shop has been used to being sealed. He comes online and offline. Although he does not act too aggressively, his words are not good enough to make others find him if they are unhappy.
However, the account "No. 1 in the World" does not mention the grudge between itself and the Watch Association.
Someone, however, opened his identity and filed a lawsuit that was not publicly disclosed more than 20 years ago.
The plaintiff is Mr. Xi. He wants to sue the Watch Association and the former president of the Watch Association to steal the achievements of his teacher. As for what achievements are, no mention is made. Mr. Xi’s teacher is not a famous person. Not to mention being on the rankings, he is not very famous in the city where he lives. His only highlight is that he taught Mr. Xi as his apprentice. More than 20 years ago, Mr. Xi was already very famous and was at the top of the watchmaking rankings and the tool makers rankings. There are so many people who came from outside to ask him to create props.
"Mr. Xi probably wanted to compete with the Watch Association with his fame and seek justice for his newly-dead teacher, but the result was not ideal. After losing the lawsuit, Mr. Xi angrily withdrew from the Watch Association and the Machine Maker Association. He said that he would not make any props for the government or association until the day of clearing the sky."
The fact is that no one will work as usual in this world. The Watch Association and the Machine Maker Association invited him several times at the beginning. Seeing that he was really tough, they had to give up. Outsiders could not give him orders through the association and came to him in person. He insisted on not accepting it. Over time, no one gradually looked for him again.
Many people who don’t know the inside thought that he retired when he was old. In fact, he opened a shop alone and relied on his old capital to support his life. His life was acceptable. After all, he was a famous tool maker and had made contributions to District 001. In addition, as he was old, the government had his own benefits for him.
But he was forgotten like his teacher.
It is not that you are defeated or framed, but that you are forgotten as an insignificant existence.
When the enemy you identify does not take you seriously at all, this kind of contempt will make people angry and lose their composure.
Although Mr. Xi had a bad temper when he became famous, he could still maintain basic politeness, unlike now when he was scolding the world on the Jixin terminal.
But what if someone announces his past? At most, they can only get a sigh from outsiders that nothing is involved.
He had just finished reading some of Mr. Xi''s life and a call like a debt collection came over there. The old man''s face appeared in the projection and urged him without any patience: "Do you have decided whether you want or what props? I''m idle and I may not have this time in a few days."
"Do you have the materials?" Xu Huo said: "All the customers who entered the store were scolded. Do you have the money to buy it?"
The old man said angrily: "Who do you look down on me? I have so many props I can grab and I''m scrambling to buy materials?"
But he put a patch on it, "I said before, you should not be too picky about high-end props."
Xu Huo smiled, "I can provide the materials for making props myself. Haven''t you participated in the production of super instruments? It''s okay to help me make an A-level prop?"
The old man thought for a while, "You helped me twice, and you can get a Class A for you, but I don''t use all the materials. Don''t take them out for those that are not of grade enough."
Xu Huo placed a few sub-class stones on the table.
