Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1761 Would rather suffer
At midnight, I finally got rid of Bi Sheng's entanglement and asked Lu Ping to deal with him.

Brother He Yang came to the teahouse, the shop was closed long ago, we walked around the back and knocked on the back door.

After a while, the waiter in the shop removed a door panel, looked around, and let the two of us go in.

It was pitch black inside, and Brother Yang seemed to sense a little danger, so he protected me behind him. I smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one here will harm me!" After speaking, I pushed him away and walked straight inside.

In the inner room, under the dim light, there were more than 10 people sitting. It seemed that all of them were sallow, emaciated, and depressed.

Aman stood up and said, "Mr. Chen is here!"

Everyone stood up, and I looked around. They were all escaped from Alcatraz Island, but I didn't see the proprietress.

I pressed my hands and motioned for them to sit down, and then asked, "Why don't you turn on the light? Why are you sneaking around? You can't do that, right? I've said it all, you have work permits, and you're not stowaways or criminals. You're afraid what?"

Aman lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid that someone will watch us! If we let them know that all our clansmen will be wiped out if the whole army is wiped out, as long as we keep a low profile, they won't know who our clansmen are, even if they are repatriated, I can also leave a few as the last blood of our family!"

I was even more puzzled and asked: "Who is watching you? Are your former enemies? Have they come here too? Are you going to drive you all to death?"

Aman shook his head and said: "No! When Mr. Zhang was still there, we were very popular. Each of us had a store and gave us money to open a store. But as soon as Mr. Zhang left, the property companies here went door to door. They found us and asked us to return the store, saying that we had no contract and did not pay the rent, so they kicked us out, took back our store, and sublet it to others, and now this is the only room left! If people know This store is related to us, and this store may not be able to continue! Therefore, we must be cautious!"

I asked curiously: "The property company? What right do they have to do this? The store is not theirs!"

Then he asked the waiter, "Who are those people who came yesterday? Are they here to make trouble every day?"

The store clerk said very cleverly: "It is said that people from the village committee came to take over our store! Others, they are not, I have inquired, they are the security guards invited back by the amusement park company next door, all the stores in the nearby town, They all charge protection fees, we paid them all, they are still not satisfied, and want to take back our shop! However, they don’t know that we are Nangong people, they just want to drive us away!”

I was still puzzled and asked, "Then why did they drive you away? Didn't you all pay protection fees?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "I don't know about that! They have bought all the shops on our side, and we are the only one left! I don't know why they did this?"

A man who looked like a cleaner interjected: "When I was sweeping the floor, I heard them say that their boss wants to take down all the shops in this ancient town! I don't know exactly what to do!"

Another dishwasher said: "They and the property management company are all in the same group. I saw them eating together in the private room. They have a good relationship. The fat man and the property manager even call each other brothers. They should all belong to the same company!"

I sighed and said: "Then I probably understand! Don't be afraid, first of all, you have a formal status, you are migrant workers, and you are protected by the law! No one can bully you! If someone bullies you When it’s time for you, either call the police or fight back! You have the ability, aren’t you just a few gangsters? You dare to kill people, and you’re still afraid of them?”

Aman was startled and said: "Don't, don't say that! We just want to settle down now. We think it's good. It's good to have a place to settle down! You don't need to worry about the roof, don't worry about our Children are exposed to drugs as soon as they are born, and it is enough for us to eat enough and wear warm clothes!"

I sighed and said: "If people can't fight for their own legal rights, then what's the point of living? Could it be that once your child is born, you can't escape the fate of being bullied? You can bear it, you Do you still plan to let your next generation endure like you? Survival is important, but living with dignity is more important!"

"Stop instigating them. We have been wandering for so many years. It is hard to find a place like this, so that we can live in peace and security. We don't have to live in the hail of bullets every day, and we don't have to worry about revenge from our enemies. It's already good!" Out of the dark corner, a woman who resembled Nangong Yan appeared and spoke.

I looked at her and asked, "Do you think I am instigating your people to take risks? Why should I do this? I can ignore your affairs, but I promised Nangong that I will take good care of you and not let you I have been wronged at any point! You are like this, how can I explain to her?"

The woman shook her head and said, "You don't need to explain anything to her, you've done enough! I know your current situation is not good, we really can't cause you any more trouble!"

I sighed and said, "What trouble can I have? I have seen them a lot, they are bullying! No matter what purpose they have, if they want to get my idea, they can't do it! Don't worry about it, since you want to keep a low profile , just keep a low profile! Leave this matter to me!"

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly said excitedly: "I said, don't worry about our business!"

I said with some displeasure: "Now this is no longer your business! I will keep my promise!"

Aman sighed, and said to the others: "Everyone should leave first, you still have work tomorrow! You remember, what happened tonight, you all rotted in my stomach, you know?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Got it!" Then they started to leave one after another.

There are only me, Brother Yang, the woman, Aman and Xiao Er in the room.

Only then did Aman introduce: "She is the younger sister of our patriarch, her name is Nangong Hong!"

I smiled and said, "Why did you choose such a silly name?"

Nangong Hong frowned and looked at me and said, "We have clan names, but they are too long, and the Chinese names are random!"

I asked inexplicably, "Aren't you all Chinese? You are all Chinese. How can you choose your Chinese name casually?"

Nangonghong said: "The Chinese name is just a sign for us. If we didn't come here, we wouldn't even bother to get a Chinese name!"

I knew she might be a little angry, so I smiled and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want! Don't get angry at me first, I know you are angry with me because of your sister, I will find a way to make you Reunion!"

Nangong Hong was taken aback, and said coldly: "You probably don't know the relationship between me and my sister, do you?"

I looked at Aman suspiciously, and Aman hurriedly explained: "The relationship between their sisters is not very harmonious, and they have never had any intersections! This time, Patriarch Nangong didn't care too much about us..."

I hastily waved my hands and said, "You misunderstood her. From the very beginning, she only asked me for one thing, that is, to protect you! I did not do well and failed to protect you. Now that I am back, I will never let you Take a little grievance!"

Who knew that Nangong Hong didn't appreciate it at all, and shouted loudly: "I said, we don't need your help! We are already doing well, and we don't want to have anything to do with you!"

This made me a little overwhelmed, I really don't understand what she means?He could only nod his head and said, "You think I'll hurt you, don't you?"

Nangong Hong was also taken aback, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes! I don't want to be arrested like Mr. Zhang! You are also a dangerous person, the farther away from us the better!"

I finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Aren't you in danger? I'm back, I was acquitted, and I won't implicate you! It's me who is being sentimental. Since you think this kind of life is good, then you Just continue to live such a life without dignity! I'm too lazy to take care of you, but let me make it clear that if Nangong comes back one day, don't say I don't care about you, it's your own choice not to care about me!"

Nangonghong said firmly: "Don't worry, we will definitely not sue you! Then please stay away from us!"

I looked at Aman, who had a helpless expression, wanted to say something, but was stared back by Nangong Hong, lowered his head and sighed!

I turned around and left. After walking out the door, Brother Yang said behind me: "Have you ever thought about it, maybe they don't want to implicate you? It's not because they are afraid that you will implicate them?"

I froze for a moment, and felt that what I said made some sense, so I asked, "Then how did you know?"

Brother Yang explained with a smile: "Look at what you say! I used to be not only the chief instructor, but also an investigator of the criminal investigation brigade! That Aman stopped talking for a long time, and that Miss Nangong just didn't give him a chance to speak! Doesn't that explain the problem?"

I nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then what do you think is their problem?"

Brother Yang shook his head and said: "I'm not that good, and I don't like psychology! That Aman should want you to help, and that lady, I don't think she has any malice towards you, although she said she hates you You, I don't want you to take care of them, but I feel sorry for you when I see it!"

I groaned, and said in surprise, "Love me? Then you'd be wrong! Although I know her sister very well, it's only the second time I've met her!"

Brother Yang said with a smile, "Eyes don't betray you!"

I said with an oh: "Then it depends on your ability!"

Brother Yang looked at me puzzled and asked, "Why do you depend on my ability?"

I said maliciously: "You have to help me find out what happened here? According to what Aman said, that group of people are people from the amusement park opposite. Let's find out where they came from? If you can't afford it, we don't care about it." If you can afford it, let's help them!"

Brother Yang made a sharp cut, and said with some contempt: "I've always heard Mr. Lu say that you don't look like you!"

I laughed loudly and said, "You Boss Lu misjudged the person! Then can you help me?"

Brother Yang nodded and said, "Help, this is my job!"

The next day, Brother Yang disappeared early, and I saw that Bi Sheng was still reluctant to leave. When we had breakfast together, he said, "Hey, what's the matter with you, do you have nothing to do? I have three meals a day and extra meals here." You don’t need money for the accommodation? What are you going to do now!”

Bi Sheng said shamelessly: "I'm not going anywhere. You are the God of Wealth. By your side, there will always be money to be made!"

I curled my lips and said, "When did you become such a rascal? I remember you used to talk about etiquette and shame to me!"

Bi Sheng laughed loudly and said, "It's not important for money, I've seen it through!"

I frowned and said, "Aren't you short of money?"

Bi Sheng shook his head and said: "Who would think too much money! To tell you the truth, I plan to divorce, and I will divide at least half of my family property in the early stage! At that time, I will become a poor ghost. If I don't make any money now, I won't be able to find it later Now that it's your turn, how can I make money?"

I asked suspiciously: "You don't really intend to have a good relationship with that second lady of the Zhong family, do you?"

Bi Sheng chuckled and said, "It's hard to say!"

I said with a groan, "I don't want to be a wife of dross!"

Bi Sheng snorted and said, "What kind of wretched wife? She is a serious and fashionable lady. I don't know how many young men in the city are pursuing her! Besides, the marriage between the two of us is definitely not the kind you think. We have a new love. , I don’t want to miss the old love! Love is a wonderful thing. We often quarrel when we are together, and we are not together for a long time, and the relationship fades. We belong to both! Even if there is no second lady, we probably have to separate sooner or later !"

I suddenly thought of me and Katsuo, which kind do we belong to?The relationship is still there, but we can't be together anymore!

Bi Sheng looked at me in a daze, thinking that I was thinking about his marriage, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I don't worry about myself, what are you worried about?"

I reacted and said: "Who is worried about you? I was thinking, who cares about my ancient town? I heard that it is the owner of the playground opposite. Do you know why?"

Bi Sheng snorted and said, "I told you, don't be angry!"

I looked at him puzzled.

He replied in a low voice: "It's Zhongshi's business in the Middle Ages!"

I groaned and said, "This is going too far for you, come here to collect information? Are you an undercover agent?"

Bi Sheng hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't! The Zhong family didn't even know that I was going to participate in this matter! Don't wrong a good person!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said: "What kind of person are you! You know what's going on? It's been a few days and you haven't told me. Are you planning to wait until they bring this place down and tell me? I have to sell your favor!"

Bi Sheng was a little unhappy and said, "You're insulting me a bit!"

I laughed hurriedly: "Just kidding, just kidding!"
