Island Tycoon

Chapter 85

"No more gambling, no more gambling." Wu Mengda looked at the figure of the little dwarf, and kept thinking about it as he walked.

"Hei Zaida, you are back." Mo Luocha, who was in charge of watching the building, saw Wu Mengda, put down the curry rice in his hand and greeted him: "Hei Zaida, I found something. Your wife seems to be running away with someone."

"You are crazy, my wife doesn't know how much she loves me." Wu Mengda swayed his upper body, making a rascal gesture.

"It's true, I'm not lying to you." Mo Luocha said honestly.

"Idiot! My wife will run away with others? She won't run away even if your mother runs away." Wu Mengda snorted coldly, ignored Mo Luocha, and went straight up the stairs to go home.

But when he reached the second floor, he became depressed.Both feet seemed to be filled with lead, and every step seemed extraordinarily heavy.

He may be able to ignore what the gambler said before, but he has been with Mo Luocha downstairs for a few months. This Indian-Pakistani is a person who speaks every sentence. In other words, he will not say things for no reason to deceive people. .

Could it be that Mai Lili wanted him to cheer up, just to prepare for her departure?Wu Mengda's right hand unconsciously reached into his trouser pocket, which contained a bunch of scattered banknotes.

The total amount of money was one hundred and five yuan, which he earned from running three construction sites today.Although the working process was very hard, the moment he got the money, he felt his self-confidence returned.

Now Mo Luoxing's words made him uneasy, and his heavy steps suddenly became hasty.It's not that he doesn't believe in his wife's character, but that he made such a big mistake before, it's perfectly normal for Mai Lili to give up on him.

"Wow, today's food is so good? Sister Hua, are you happy?" As soon as he entered the room, a table of delicious food appeared in front of him, and Wu Mengda couldn't help swallowing.

"Notice!" Sister Hua raised her hand and countered, "Your wife will be happy."

"Don't make fun of this." Wu Mengda glanced into the kitchen and found that Mai Lili was cooking.I can only keep what I just said in my heart beforehand, and then I moved a folding stool and sat down.

"I shut you up, you can just make fun of me. Yes, your wife is very precious." Sister Hua exhaled a cigarette at him, and said with disgust.

Wu Mengda showed a "that's natural" look in his eyes, and said, "Take the trouble to tell you."

"This poor woman must know that I have worked hard these days, so I specially added two dishes to supplement my nutrition." Wu Mengda said complacently.Looking at a few particularly oily dishes with greedy eyes, the chopsticks in his hand couldn't help but pick up a roast goose leg.

Who would have thought that Mai Lili, who had just walked over, saw his action and immediately knocked off the roast goose leg he was holding with a spatula, and said, "Sai Gui, don't be so rude when there are guests coming."

"Oh~" Wu Mengda touched the back of his hand, but he hadn't thought about anything else.But seeing Sister Hua's inexplicable smile, her heart became more and more restless, and she vaguely felt that this guest was not simple.

Mai Lili, who turned around and walked into the kitchen, shouted to Wu Mengda: "Ada, come in and help out in the kitchen. By the way, I have something to say to you."

"Ada..." Before Mai Lili could speak, Wu Mengda walked in with a heavy face, stopped him with his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say anything. If that man really likes you, if you want to go with him, then go." .Two daughters..."

Who would have thought that Mai Lili grabbed his ear and twisted his ear because Wu Mengda owed a huge debt, and then his disappointing performance appeared.Mai Lili cursed and said: "You bastard, what are you thinking about here, am I, Mai Lili, this kind of woman?"

"No! No! You let go first, there are outsiders, how ugly." Wu Mengda repeatedly begged for mercy, but the big stone on his heart was finally let go.

"Mommy, Da Ma is back."

"Xi Ma is back too." Sister Hua opened the door that was knocked, and two little heads rushed in, one with a big soda and the other with a bag of snacks.Then a tall man walked in, and Wu Mengda's embarrassing face became serious again.

"You are Wu Mengda?" Ye Jingcheng glanced at the other party.This man has begun to put on weight in middle age, but his figure is not as round as before. It doesn't look as funny as in the film and television, but instead has an extremely downcast image.

"It's easy to say, who are you?" Wu Mengda immediately assumed the posture of a big man.

"Heh!" Ye Jingcheng sneered, and said sarcastically, "As a man, you want your wife to go out and sell blood to make ends meet. Your husband is really competent."

The reason why Mai Lili crashed into his car was because she went to the hospital to sell blood before that, and the loss of a certain amount of energy and blood in the body caused mental depression.

"What is selling blood?"

Wu Mengda looked back at Mai Lili, and the latter's eyes became evasive.Out of breath, he directly grabbed her hand, and when he rolled up his sleeve, he saw an obvious pinhole mark.

"Didn't I say I got the money back? You learned from others selling blood, don't you think it's great now?" Wu Mengda's accumulated sulking before finally exploded at this moment.

"When you get the money back, the two daughters will starve to death." Sister Hua gave him a blank look and said angrily.

"I!!!" Wu Mengda, who was about to take out the money, retracted this action.In the final analysis, it is not because of him that he has come to this field.

"Dad, don't be unhappy, Xima's soda is for you to drink." Xima took the soda poured by Sister Hua, walked up to Wu Mengda and handed it up.

"Xianma, drink it yourself." Wu Mengda knelt down and stroked Xima's little head.

"Dad, my good uncle said that he has a job for you, but you have to be willing to work hard." The eldest sister also came up, pointed at Ye Jingcheng and said.

Wu Mengda didn't make any more gestures, and looked at Ye Jingcheng with some hope.He hoped that what Da Ma said was true, he had already stepped into a stubborn road, and he sincerely hoped that someone noble could give him a hand.

"Bet me a game of poker, as long as you can beat me, I'll help you solve the debt problem." Ye Jingcheng made a condition.

He needs to know how determined the other party is. If he helps the other party now, will Wu Mengda's temper not get the original precipitation, and will get worse when his reputation comes together.

At this time, Ye Jingcheng took out a new deck of playing cards, unwrapped it and began to shuffle the cards.The bet he mentioned is not the key, the key is how Wu Mengda chooses.If he really accepted this gamble, Ye Jingcheng would not help him.

Only when Wu Mengda realizes that 'gambling' is a mistake, and makes up his mind not to get involved in it again, can Ye Jingcheng give him a chance to recover.

Seeing the constantly switching cards in Ye Jingcheng's hands, Wu Mengda's heart was indeed moved.Such a simple condition, even if he loses, he won't lose, right?As long as you win...

Wu Mengda's throat twitched, just about to say yes to the condition.However, he felt a strange atmosphere around him, and he found that everyone in the room was focusing on him at this moment.

"No more gambling, no more gambling." Wu Mengda suddenly came to his senses, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Hearing Wu Mengda's answer, Ye Jingcheng nodded happily.He knew that the other party's mind had settled down, at least he would not go back to the old path.

"You have to know that there is only one chance. If you miss it this time, you will not regret the medicine." Ye Jingcheng once again tested the other party's determination.

"No, no." Wu Mengda picked up his two daughters and sat down at the dinner table, not entangled in this topic anymore.

"OK." Ye Jingcheng shrugged, and also pulled a folding chair to sit down.After tasting a few dishes, he asked, "What's the status of your contract with Wireless?"

"It's okay, it's due in a few months." Wu Mengda said with a wry smile.

He still has a contract with Wireless, but Wireless has kept him in cold storage.So having a contract means not having a contract. As soon as the contract expires, TVB will definitely let it go unilaterally, and the possibility of renewal is zero.

"I was just trying to test you just now. If you really choose to bet with me, then you will lose this opportunity. Now I have an opportunity for you. It's up to you if you don't grasp it." Ye Jingcheng didn't hide anything.

"Say it! Say it!" Wu Mengda was very excited.

"Give up the big road of wireless and come to work in my film company. If you are really determined, you can work as an actor and work in the field at the same time."

After a pause, Ye Jingcheng lit a cigarette and said, "As for your debt, I won't help you pay it directly. As long as you work hard enough, I think you can pay it off within half a year."

Ye Jingcheng planned to hand over the chores to Wu Mengda, this position was definitely the hardest one in the whole crew.But it is also a fat job while it is hard work, because it is responsible for sundries such as props, lunch boxes, etc. of the crew.

Don’t dare to say too much, for example, when ordering lunch boxes, he only needs to get a [-]% kickback for each lunch box, and the entire crew can get hundreds of copies a day, so there must be an income of [-] to [-] a month.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't worried about what he was greedy for, this job was all about hard money.As long as Wu Mengda has that ability and foot strength, a lunch box commission of two or three yuan is not a problem.

Another point is that Ye Jingcheng has been contracted by outsiders for the fat job of the crew.These people may not necessarily save him much money, and may also earn a higher price difference from it.

"How do you think about it?" Seeing the other party's promise, Ye Jingcheng asked again.

With Wu Mengda's current environment, this job is simply a huge fat job.Now what he considers is not whether to agree or not, but whether he can do it well.If there is any omission in the process, he will be responsible for the whole thing, which will undoubtedly become a huge debt.

Wu Mengda glanced at the twin daughters, and found that their big eyes were staring at him without blinking.Wu Mengda's heart was touched again, and his two daughters had reached school age!But the current situation at home is not to mention studying, whether they can feed them is a problem.

"I'll do it!" Wu Mengda gritted his teeth and decided to take the job.If he can do this job, he will do it, and if he can't do it, he will continue to do it.Even if he encounters a bad situation in the future, it will be much better than him running around the construction site now and not having a bright future.
