Who are you scaring?
Chapter 176 Who are you scaring?
Naturally, Xian Yaowu's pursuit of love in court was fruitless. Zhong Jieling adopted the best response method of "coyly retreating" and pushed Xian Yaowu in the direction of a frivolous person.
It doesn't matter, as long as he continues to stalk her, his tone will change.
When returning to his seat to pack his things, William Chen smiled and joked, "Victor, you are the first person to pursue a lady in court. Your name will soon spread throughout the Hong Kong legal community, and will reach London in a month at most." .”
Working in a law firm dominated by British people, it was very inconvenient not to have an English name. On Xian Yaowu's first day at work, William Chen gave Xian Yaowu several English names to choose from. Xian Yaowu himself chose Victor, a name that represented victory.
"Chen Dazhuang, will my behavior just now have a negative impact on the law firm?"
"On the contrary, you gave the law firm a free publicity." William Chen packed up his things and walked outside with Xian Yaowu, "Has Adam called back?"
"My elder brother made a phone call a few days ago and asked me to allocate a sum of funds. It seemed that I wanted to order a batch of goods."
"uh-huh."
William Chen was noncommittal and no longer went into depth on this topic. Instead, he moved to the case and asked Xian Yaowu to provide detailed information that needed to be further enriched.
Being a lawyer in Hong Kong is a high-paying profession, and it is also a profession that does not have the concept of overtime. If you do something well, you will get off work. If you do not do it well, there is no need to get off work. This is true for lawyers, and it will only be even worse for assistants like Xian Yaowu.
He was busy at the lawyer's office until he returned home at 7:30. When he got off the car, he still held a stack of information in his hand. His work was not over and would continue at home.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard noise coming from the door of the People's Convenience Store. He hesitated for a while and decided to take some time to go over and join in the fun.
There was no radio broadcast today, and there was a GE brand all-copper microphone from General Motors standing in front of the convenience store. Accompanied by her teacher Zhang Yufang and her younger sister Wang Xiali, Wang Xiamin began to try out what it felt like to be on stage.
Very few people can be graceful and elegant the first time they step on the stage. Most people need a process of transformation and adaptation. The small stage in front of their home is suitable for Wang Xiamin to practice her courage.
There is no radio to listen to, so those who come to listen to the radio are not annoyed. Whether it is the radio or listening to music, they are pastimes that they cannot afford. Relatively speaking, listening to music is more expensive. Even the street singing stalls do not pay for it. You will have to look down upon if you are rewarded with money, let alone a nightclub where the consumption threshold is very high.
"Sister-in-law."
Arriving at a long bench at the entrance of the store, Xian Yaowu respectfully greeted Cen Peipei who was sitting on the bench.
"Uncle is back." Cen Peipei stood up slightly, "I'll let you sit down."
"No, I'll stand for a while and then go upstairs." Xian Yaowu said, and gently pushed Zhou Zhilan back to his seat, who was about to stand up to pick up his materials, "You sit down and don't worry about me."
Xian Yaowu moved his position and squatted down in front of Cen Peipei, "Sister-in-law, Su Lizhen didn't come out to listen to the music?"
"No, I didn't go to the dining room for dinner. My usual car is here."
"Oh."
Xian Yaowu raised his head and looked towards the fourth floor of Building 3. The light in the living room was on. Needless to say, a card game was going on.
How did Su Lizhen follow his eldest brother? He was like a mirror in his mind. He had always looked down on Su Lizhen and did not regard her as a sister-in-law, so he never expressed his opinions on her lifestyle. All he needed to do was to look after her when his eldest brother was away. Don't let her take the opportunity to steal someone.
"Someone sent a wedding invitation. The woman is Zheng Yueying. The master mentioned her to me, but he didn't explain it when he left. Who do you want to invite to the banquet?"
"Who sent it?"
"A pretty girl who is younger than me, she calls herself Chen Yanqing."
"She is Chen Jingkun's sister. Sister-in-law, despite her young age, people outside call her Poison Rose. There are rumors that she smashed someone's eye with her heel half a month ago." Xian Yaowu considered it for a moment and said: " My eldest brother once told me that Zheng Yueying is a very capable person. As long as she chooses the right path, her future achievements will be good.
Brother is right, now all the pink stalls in Temple Street are owned by Chen Jingkun, and the main credit goes to Zheng Yueying. She is also called Poisonous Butterfly. "
Cen Peipei frowned, "Did the master explain it before?"
"Brother means don't get too close, just keep your love alive."
Cen Peipei thought for a while and said, "Then let Sister Min go to the banquet. The red envelope will be bigger and we will sing a blessing song at the banquet."
"As long as my sister-in-law makes the decision, I will listen to my sister-in-law."
……
Tofu Street.
Xian Yaowen and Qi Longque were eating at the Nyonya food stall again. Suddenly, a strong smell of sweat covered the aroma of the food on the table. Looking at the smell, it turned out to be Ah Le, the pickpocket from before.
"It's you, you found something to do?"
After saying the words, Xian Yaowen looked over Ah Le's body. Covered with stains caused by workmanship, Ah Le was wearing clothes that had been washed until they faded and turned white. In some places, traces left by washboards and laundry sticks could still be seen. .
It had only been a few days, and Ah Le probably couldn't afford to hand over the clothes to a washerwoman who specialized in paid laundry. Such a thorough and meticulous laundry method didn't seem like doing it himself. Plus, Tofu Street is the home base of red turbans, so there are so many It was a red turban alone. Based on this inference, this kid probably hooked up with a red turban.
Two hearts drifting in a foreign country, feeling uneasy and knowing the taste of food from people who have been there, meet each other, and comforting each other is very normal. It starts with you doing my laundry and I helping you move, and finally returns to the original impulse of animals.
"I found it, let's build the territory." A Le glanced at the table, and his Adam's apple squirmed, "I saw Mr. here, I came over to say hello."
"You're interested. You haven't eaten yet. Sit down and have something together." Xian Yaowen invited politely.
Hearing this, Ah Le subconsciously looked at himself and said hesitantly: "It's not convenient for me to be like this... no, it's not convenient." "It's okay, we are all men, we don't have to pay so much attention." Xian Yaowen stood up and pressed Ah Le's hand. At a seat, he pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and handed them over, "Relax and eat whatever you want."
Ah Le hesitated for a while after taking the chopsticks, but still couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. Amidst Xian Yaowen's polite voice, he grabbed the chopsticks and reached for the dinner plate.
Seeing this, Xian Yaowen ordered two bottles of beer, poured two glasses, handed one to A Le, clinked the glasses, drank half of them, and started talking.
After some exchanges, Xian Yaowen learned that A Le's full name was Sun Jiale. He was from Henan. When he fled famine in 1942, he did not follow the large army to go west, but chose to go south. Along the way, he passed through the Kuomintang-controlled area, the Japanese war zone, and the anti-Japanese revolutionary base area. As he walked, he came to the Chaoshan area. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, many anti-Japanese soldiers retired and returned home. He met a veteran named Huang Lihui, and he followed Huang Lihui to sneak into Thailand to make a living at the end of the next year.
I thought that Thailand was full of gold, but when I got there, I found that it was not the case at all. There were only endless chores and hard work. After several years of hard work, I couldn't save any money. Finally, my heart changed and I smuggled into the land of gold again. In Malacca, he became a rubber worker. Not to mention, Sun Jiale was in bad luck. The rubber plantation was in a recession. Not to mention wages, even food was not guaranteed. No, he came to Singapore again.
Sun Jiale's story is twists and turns but not strange. There are not millions but hundreds of thousands of people who share the same disease. Xian Yaowen is not very curious. When listening to Sun Jiale's story, he asked indirectly whether Huang Lihui was a consumption ghost. When he asked, he was really surprised. , he was basically certain that Huang Lihui was Xiwei. He had never seen him in person, but he had seen his jet-black mummy.
When his curiosity was satisfied, he did not forget to extend an olive branch to Sun Jiale.
In the afternoon, he had already found a warehouse for Jinji Trading Company, and went to the newspaper to publish recruitment information. Before he left Singapore, he had to find at least one salesperson and one warehouse manager, putting aside his ability first. The candidate must be a second-generation person who went to Southeast Asia and brought up his family in Singapore. In this way, the threshold for betrayal is relatively high.
He happened to meet Sun Jiale, and he invited him to be a warehouse manager and offered him a high salary of 80 yuan. Sun Jiale happily agreed.
He can analyze the tricks in business negotiations through contract execution even though he is thousands of miles away, but whether the warehouse has been emptied is beyond his reach. For the less important position of warehouse keeper, he needs to set up multiple people to let them communicate with each other. Clamp.
After eating, he asked the Nyonya proprietress for two banana leaves, and asked Sun Jiale to pack away the two uneaten "leftovers" that had just been brought to the table. When he was done, he also told Sun Jiale to be braver and more domineering in some things. , don’t wait for a woman to take the initiative.
The trace of shame that Sun Jiale left before leaving and the restlessness in his steps confirmed that his guess was basically correct.
One person left, but Xian Yaowen didn't leave in a hurry, because another person came, and the mixed fragrance of honey and tobacco broke into the permeable smell of sweat. Without invitation, the visitor had already sat down in front of Sun Jiale. On the stool, he stared at Xian Yaowen with evil eyes.
"Hand over Lu Yuepeng."
Xian Yaowen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Master She lives a very comfortable life. There is a refreshing smell of honey, a mellow smell of tobacco, and no smell of lime water. I have never smelled like this in Hong Kong. The best opium ointment, I’ve seen it today.”
"Hand over Lu Yuepeng, and I can pretend that what happened before has never happened." Mr. She said forcefully again with a frown on his face.
He already knew that not one of the dozen or so members of Lu Yuepeng's family was spared, and that all the chickens in the kitchen had their necks broken before they could be killed. This was an extermination of the family, it was too cruel. The older Jiang Hu gets, the less courageous he becomes. He admits that he is scared inside, but as the leader of March 721, he must stand up.
Xian Yaowen slowly lit a cigar for himself and took a few puffs quietly before saying calmly: "I have never heard of Lu Yuepeng. I just heard, well, hearsay, that there was a group of people somewhere today. The wild dogs ate meat, including 117 kilograms and 14 taels of meat, including the skin and bones, and the fur was carefully treated.
I have raised dogs and know their habits. Dogs cannot eat too much fur, otherwise they will become depressed, lose their appetite, and in more severe cases, they will die. You cannot eat too much, you absolutely cannot eat too much. Master She, if you feed your dog meat, Be sure to use fire to burn the hair, and then use a bristle knife to scrape it off. "
Bang.
Ding Ling clanged.
Master She dug his palms into the table and uttered a sentence with hatred in his mouth, "This is Singapore, don't even think about leaving."
Xian Yaowen said with a smile: "Master She, I am not a Jianghu person. I don't know how to fight and kill, and I don't want to understand. I am a businessman. I only like and only want to do business. One day, I came to the beautiful Singapore and planned to stay here." Do some business, ah, serious business.
I never thought that I, a businessman who dare not even step on ants, would be taken care of by kidnappers. I was so scared that I couldn’t eat or sleep. Even when I went to the toilet to urinate, I had to pray to God for fear that the kidnappers would crawl out of the toilet. come out.
I was frightened for two days. In Tofu Street, at this table, I heard the people at the next table talking about the great achievements of the great hero She Ye, saying that for a few taels of opium cream, he kicked his left foot repeatedly and his right foot clear. There were 108 members of the deceased relative's family. Finally, they lit an opium lamp and burned all the opium paste.
Because of this incident, everyone praised Master She as Lin Zexu of Nanyang. It was really wonderful and wonderful. "
When he was interrogating Lu Yuepeng, he also asked a lot about Sanqi21 and Mr. She. Xian Yaowen had a certain understanding of him. Although what he just said was nonsense, it had the prototype of the incident. When Mr. She was young, he wanted to rob a cigarette shop. , slaughtered all the enemies.
"It's also because I'm not so afraid after listening to Master She's story." If you can ask God to be kind and reward you, a great master from the blue sky will come down to earth.
If this ends, I am just trying to survive in self-defense and do not want to cause trouble. If you want to continue..."
Xian Yaowen looked at the duck standing behind Mr. She and said jokingly: "Mr. Duck, I heard that seducing the second sister-in-law is a taboo in the world. If you do such a thing in the future, please keep it secret and don't let others know."
When the duck's face turned white, Xian Yaowen stood up and his eyes returned to Master She's face, "Master She, I can't stay in Singapore for a few days. I have to go to Malacca, Paris, Manchester, and London later. My schedule is very tight. There is no time to waste, so I have to excuse myself. The food here is good, you can taste it slowly and say goodbye."
As soon as Xian Yaowen finished speaking, Master She's face turned pale. He had many women and more children. He was worried that his enemies would seek revenge and harm his family, so he sent a few children who did not need to inherit his mantle to leave Singapore early. It happened to be what Xian Yaowen said. The name of the place indicates that his children lived there.
"Lu Yuepeng, I want your life!"
It is about the safety of his children, how could Master She not be cautious? There are some things that Lu Yuepeng should not know, and Xian Yaowen is even less likely to know, but now they all know it. Master She can think of the reason, how can he not hate it.
Passing by an ice cream truck converted from a three-wheel motorcycle, Xian Yaowen bought two pieces of the very popular Magnolia ice cream and was nibbling on it, attracting a few pairs of greedy licking eyes. He waved and called a few children over. In front of me, I paid five yuan on the ice cream truck, leaving behind some beautiful childhood memories.
The next day.
It rained lightly at around four o'clock, the dust in the air was washed away, and the sky was very blue.
At around five o'clock, Qi Longque made strange noises in front of the window, sometimes heeing, sometimes drinking, sometimes squealing, squealing, grunting, and squealing. Following the strange squealing, he also raised his hands to protect his chest and covered his chest with both hands. Tian, Qin Qiong presents his mace, hungry eagle pounces on food, chases the bridge, double-inch bridge and other actions.
Beside him, Xian Yaowen stared intently, fearing that something would go wrong with him.
It’s up to the practitioner to see which one is better, Nan Quan or North Kick, but in terms of health preservation, Nan Quan is probably better. When people reach a certain level, they will inevitably fall into the cliché and pursue immortality. It just so happens that Xian Yaowen's Lao Tzu is this kind of person.
