Under the archway of an overpass, Wang Xiaor, a hard-working delivery boy, was waiting for his boss next to his tricycle . He had just taken a cigarette from his colleague, who was in charge of West Street, when he saw a white minibus draw near on the dusty road . The newspaper man called Pipe was the largest newspaper seller in the eastern part of the capital . He had more than 30 delivery boys working for him . As a successful businessman, he believed in a professional vision . It was said that there would be a new magazine released that day, but he hadn’t paid attention to it . The distributing bureau assigned a basic magazine volume to him, so he had to trust them . He had the ability to swallow magazines up after all . Pipe stamped on his brakes and parked his car between his delivery boys . When he opened the trunk, his men gathered around to help him carry the magazines down . Pipe took out a cigarette, and Wang Xiaor lit it up . "Be careful with the names . Don’t mix them up . Today there’s a new magazine coming out . Follow our old rules and distribute it to your own newsstands . "
"What? Boss, did you have a look at it yet? They have issued an excessive volume . " "They are just overconfident . The magazines will be returned to the periodical office after a week . " Wang Xiaor’s hand trembled . He was still holding the lighter . My business expands to only two newsstands! What will this mean for me? With the cigarette in his mouth, Pipe shouted at his men, "Shut up! I’m a considerate man! When did I cheat you?" They all sighed in relief . If the stands returned the magazines though, they would have to share the loss . Labor cost was also an expense after all . "Stop with that rubbish! Ask your men to be diligent . It's six already . Hurry up! Carry them away!" They all got to work . The magazines and newspapers were carried away in a short while . Countless tricycles left the archway, heading in all directions like tidewater . Pipe spat the bottom of his cigarette out and stamped on it with his shoe, preparing to return home .
A copy of the new magazine was left in his truck . Pipe took it out and saw the gift in the package . It was a red lip gloss . Ha! I can give this to my wife as a gift . She’s asking for expensive cosmetics all the time! He tore the elegant plastic package, and the lip gloss fell in his hand . He took a look at the cover . Those foreign publishers were wealthy and generous . An elegant magazine and a gift that cost 15 yuan . Pipe was attracted by VOGUE . The colorful box of the lips gloss was overshadowed by the beautiful model on the cover though . Pipe flipped through the pages and closed the magazine again with trembling hands . His eyes were fixed on the cover . That black-and-white photo gave him an unusual feeling . He felt like he was 18 again, and he and his wife were hiding in a haystack like they used to do in the summer . It was so romantic and passionate . I have to do something for the model on the cover . Pipe picked up his cell phone and dialed a familiar number . "Hello, Lao Li? Yes, it's me . The new magazine is out today, yes . VOGUE, the one with the black-and-white cover . I have ordered at least 20 copies for each stand, right? I want an extra 6,000 copies for more than 600 stands . No, no! Not reserved . I want the goods before they’re sold out . There’s enough stock? Great! I’ll count on you!"
Pipe let out a long sigh of relief and hung up . He smiled like silly in the quiet and put the lip gloss on Qin Guan's lips before driving home to his wife . Meanwhile, Wang Xiaor was busy cycling . The first stand was really close . Lao Zhang, the boss, was throwing away the dam-boards from his stand when he got there . He greeted Wang right away, "Unload! I’m busy now!" "No problem!" Wang Xiaor responded . He put the magazines and newspapers on a shelf outside the stand . That’s the first one done . If I hurry up, I could deliver everything before seven o’clock . Wang Xiaor left . Lao Zhang untied the nylon rope and put the magazines and newspapers in order on the shelf according to their different categories . Not long after, the stand beside the subway station would experience its peak sale time . Hurried office workers would walk to the subway, carrying bags of breakfast . Most of them would stand by the newspaper stand to have a look and choose something to read on their long way to work . "A Rayli, please!" A fashionable young girl was looking at the magazines while taking out her purse . "No, wait a moment . " Her eyes had been attracted by a black-and-white cover among colorful ones . She picked up the magazine from the shelf to see the whole picture . Among all the female stars, Qin Guan's face was the most striking . With his light eyelashes, blank expression and slightly open lips, he was really a shocking beauty . He was still manly though . He had a slender neck and a beautiful Adam's apple . "I want this one . Oh, there’s a gift? I want two!" I can give one to my friend in the office as a gift . She has the same taste as me . Besides, it’s the first issue . I can't miss such an elegant magazine . "Thank you, 30 yuan . " The girl took out three bills and grabbed another copy from the shelf . Lao Zhang touched his jaw, as if thinking of something . He looked at the vacancy on the shelf and carried all the VOGUEs outside . He put four more copies in a line on the shelf, making them more obvious . People would be able to see the black-and-white cover among the bright red and green ones from afar .
