Chapter 16 The road ahead
Bao Guowei told Lao Bao not to cook his own meals for lunch in the morning, so he ate braised chicken fried rice in a restaurant, which cost eight cents.

After eating, Bao Guowei returned home. Lao Bao was nowhere to be seen. He thought he should have gone to work in the Qin Mansion again at this time.

Bao Guowei was reading while waiting for Zhang Siwu to arrive.

……

There was a knock on the door.

"Hey! Guowei, here I come!"

"The door is unlocked, just come in."

Zhang Siwu was holding a large black and white jar in his hand, with this string of English words written on it, such as "BORDEN LECHE MILK" and the like.

"Guowei, don't you like to exercise? I heard people said that this milk is good and Westerners drink it to grow taller, so I bought you a can of milk powder. It is a good product produced in the West."

Bao Guowei didn't know how much this large can of milk powder was worth. Maybe Zhang Siwu couldn't exchange for this can since he started working at the dock.

This made Bao Guowei, who drank a bowl of milk behind Zhang Siwu's back this morning, slightly ashamed.

Zhang Siwu understood very well how precious it was that Bao Guowei was willing to teach him literacy, so he was not stingy about spending a lot of money to repay Bao Guowei.

Bao Guowei took the jar, put it on the table, and asked while reading:

"I have something to ask you. What are you going to do in the future?"

Zhang Siwu sat down on Bao Guowei's bed.

"What to do? Maybe I will work at the dock in the future, from a small worker to a small foreman, and then from a small foreman to a big worker. Maybe it would be good to become a big foreman. Of course, I might also inherit my father's skills and open a barber shop to give people haircuts. Bar."

After hearing this somewhat casual answer, Bao Guowei put down his book, turned his chair, and stared at Zhang Siwu's face seriously.

"No, Zhang Siwu, you are not this kind of person. If you are a person like you who is willing to be ordinary, why do you ask me to learn literacy? I can see that you attach great importance to reading and literacy, otherwise you wouldn't I will spend money to buy Western milk powder, and the price of this can is probably double digits."

Zhang Siwu looked at Bao Guowei's expression and felt a little confused.

"Guowei, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"you answer me first."

After hearing Bao Guowei's decisive answer, Zhang Siwu was silent for a while.

"Guowei, you are right. I am really not willing to be an ordinary person. In my current situation, there are not many ways to get ahead. As early as when I first walked around the dock, I saw someone who was arrogant towards me. The dock steward treated the Qing Gang people like lapdogs, so he began to yearn for the Qing Gang."

"Besides, today, the Youth Gang can be so rampant that they don't even care about the government soldiers, but being able to do this can be regarded as making a person stand out. There are not many ways for us poor people to walk, and this is the only way I can think of. It’s the most promising path. Even if the Qinggang people don’t accept me, I can still work hard on my own.”

As expected, Zhang Siwu is indeed a little crazy at heart.

Bao Guowei stood up and paced back and forth in the small study. Zhang Siwu looked at Bao Guowei and didn't know what he wanted to do.

"When you come out to hang out, you need to be powerful and have a background. If you don't have a background, you will easily be hacked to death. You should also know that the most important thing in this world is power, followed by money. If you don't have power, others will find ways to deal with it. You, if you don’t have money, how can anyone follow you?” “Brother Siwu, do you know the reason why the Youth Gang is so rampant in Gusu? In fact...”

Bao Guowei told Zhang Siwu the situation.

Zhang Siwu was also shocked after hearing this. Before he could recover, Bao Guowei dropped another piece of news that he found unbelievable.

"I recommended you to Mr. Chu Ze. He is willing to meet you tomorrow. If you behave well, he will introduce you to the Qinggang."

"Is this...really? Guowei, you actually..."

Zhang Siwu felt a burst of joy in his heart, and even stood up, rushed to Bao Guowei, held his hand tightly, and said excitedly:
"There is no way to repay the kindness of introduction. From now on, Guowei, you are my brother. Whenever I, Zhang Siwu, are needed, I will go through fire and water without hesitation! Order me to go east, never to the west. Anyone who provokes Guowei is against me, I..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't thank me in a hurry. Whether you can pass Mr. Chu Ze's test is still two different things."

Bao Guowei interrupted Zhang Siwu's speech.

"Actually, I also have selfish motives. Mr. Chu Ze's big tree is too big, so big that I dare not use it. Nowadays, most of the officials in Gusu City, big and small, give favor to the Chu family in the Demon City, and even the Qing Gang is also involved. If you can be placed in the Green Gang, you can have some say in both black and white, and you can lead me to solve some troublesome things in the future."

With Zhang Siwu's mind, some things still need to be clearly stated first. It is impossible for him not to think of this. Saying it now will save the space in the future.

"Although the Qinggang is in full swing in Gusu now, no one dares to mess with you if you want to live a better life. But it is dangerous to get involved in this kind of business. If you are unfortunate enough to be killed, even Uncle Zhang can't help you. Explain."

"So whether you go or not is up to you. If you really don't want to go, forget it."

Zhang Siwu also calmed down at this moment.

"I chose the road myself, Zhang Siwu. Guowei, you don't need to worry about what my father thinks. I will explain it to him. No matter what purpose you have in recommending me, Guowei, I, Zhang Siwu, swear that I will I will never forget today’s recommendation. From now on, I will treat you as a brother, and I will not hesitate to do anything to you! If you violate it, humans and gods will be outraged and you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"Besides, if I don't go, wouldn't I be betraying Guowei's wishes? Then Mr. Chu Ze will also think that you don't know people well."

He is indeed a person who can carry things clearly!
"Okay, Fourth and Fifth Brother, I can't help you how to pass Mr. Chu Ze's test. You have to think about it yourself. And you have to go see Chu Ze by yourself tomorrow. I believe that with your ability, you should be able to succeed. You don’t have to worry too much, it’s just a Youth Gang position, and in his eyes it’s a low-level business, so he won’t make things too difficult for you.”

"I know, I will prepare well for this matter, and I can't live up to your recommendation."

Zhang Siwu left, and he had to go back and get ready.

Bao Guowei felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed and took a nap to regain his energy. Dealing with people was really tiring.

Now that he has been appreciated by Chu Ze, he has also been promised to take as much money as he needs. Of course, Bao Guowei dare not treat Chu Ze as a cash machine with a big grudge, otherwise it will be too easy for others to kill him, but After all, you no longer have to worry about money.

If Zhang Siwu successfully joins the Qinggang under his recommendation, even some officials will have to give some face to the Qinggang people, and then if they encounter trouble in the future, they can be left to him to handle it.

School will start in a few days, and Bao Guowei is also preparing to get to know more people in school. Most of the students in provincial middle schools come from some background at home. Working hard to develop more connections will be beneficial to future development.

Once you complete these three things, the road ahead will be broad.

Thinking of these, Bao Guowei fell into a deep sleep.
