After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the phone booth, passed by a roadside convenience store, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall inside.
It's about five o'clock now.
Yang Wei said that she would pick me up by car, but no matter how fast she was, she would still have to wait for an hour.
No way, Shanghai is too big and the traffic situation is terrible.
Just after summer and early autumn, the sun was still relatively late, and there were more and more pedestrians at this moment. I realized that my appearance was a bit eye-catching: the clothes on my body were wrinkled, and there was blood on the shirt inside! What's more, the coat on my body was randomly taken from Xiaoxuan's car. It should belong to the second-in-command. My figure is too small to wear, and the clothes are tightly stretched on my body. No matter how I look at it, it seems to be stolen. Yes, plus my evasive appearance, like a tramp.
I walked a few steps along the small road and saw a public toilet at the intersection. I ran in quickly, washed my face and hands vigorously by the sink, and then applied some hand sanitizer, relying on the smell of hand sanitizer to barely cover it up. Stopped the smell of blood on me.
I felt like taking off the shirt inside, because I was worried that I would attract attention if I walked on the street in this way, in case the police patrolled me... There was blood all over the bottom of my coat, so I couldn't tell.
More importantly... I don't trust the police here! I know very well that such a deep-rooted old underworld power like Qinghong must be inextricably linked with the local police! I'm not afraid of the police, but once I get entangled by the police, I'm worried that before my people find me, Qing Hong will come looking for me like a shark smelling blood!
I took out my pocket, squeezed the credit card and money that Xiaoxuan had left me, and walked out of the public toilet.
After washing it, I looked less sloppy and homeless. I saw a small clothing store in front of me at a glance. I thought about it, walked over a few steps, opened the door and went in...
This is a medium-sized small boutique clothing store. Obviously, the business is not good at this time of day. There are only two customers including me in the small store.
I pretended to look at the clothes on the shelf, and then picked a shirt at random, but the only sales lady in the store didn't bother me, because another middle-aged man was pestering her to ask the price of a leather jacket.
I took the opportunity to sneak into the dressing room with the shirt and quickly put it on. Then I piled up the bloody shirt that I took off, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and tore off the price tag on my body.
When I walked out of the dressing room, I casually took another coat from the shelf and made gestures. It was just the right size, no matter what the style looked good or bad, so I tore off the price tag on it and put it on.
After changing my clothes, I felt a little more relaxed.
At this time, the sales lady was still bargaining with the middle-aged man, but it seemed that the sales lady was a little impatient. She turned her back to me and leaned casually on a shelf, letting the middle-aged man hold it. The leather jacket looked left and right, but looked lazy.
I know that although summer has just passed, many clothing stores will deliberately sell some out-of-season clothes and sell them at low prices. There are also many people who like to pick this kind of cheap.
I have to say that this sales lady is very incompetent, because all the promotion girls in the store I know are the ones who can talk so much about the goods they sell, and then make the customers dizzy, and finally take out their wallets obediently. kind. But this sales lady, she was not looking good, she was leaning lazily, talking incongruously.
That middle-aged man didn't look like he had any money, otherwise he wouldn't have come to buy this kind of cheap off-season stock in such hot weather.
"Miss, does this dress have my size?"
"What size do you wear?"
"XL, um... sometimes, L's are fine too."
"No, just this one."
"Well... can the price be cheaper?"
The sales lady didn't even bother to say anything this time, she casually pointed to a sign next to her: "Promotional products, no bargaining."
The middle-aged man pinched and pinched the leather jacket: "What kind of leather is this?"
"Rabbit skin."
"Um... Well, are these clothes waterproof? Will it be damaged in rainy days?"
The young lady finally got angry, stood up straight, and quickly threw a sentence: "Have you ever seen a rabbit holding an umbrella in the rain?"
"..." The middle-aged man was so choked that he couldn't speak, angrily threw down his clothes, turned around and left.
The sales girl turned her head and didn't seem to look at me much, and quickly said, "Two hundred and eight for the shirt and four hundred for the coat."
I finally saw clearly this sales girl with a very aggressive attitude. When she turned around, I was about to speak, but I froze for a moment!
The delicate and lovely face has a hint of coquettishness, especially the staring eyes, which is more like a sassy girlfriend. With one hand on his hip, there is a hint of fierceness on his face, but his eyes are full of viciousness. He didn't look at me, but looked at the wall clock on the wall: "Hurry up, pay for it if you want to buy it, take it off if you don't want to buy it, I'm leaving work."
Depend on! Is there such a cool sales chick
But towards this girl, I wasn't angry at all. Instead, I looked at her carefully several times, and then suddenly smiled.
I laughed happily, happily, and with a bit of surprise.
"Little money fan!" I looked at her: "Amei? Are you Amei? Why are you here?"
I blurted out, she was startled for a moment, and then turned her eyes to me, looked at me carefully for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Ah!! Is it you?"
Who is this girl in front of me, if not the little private nurse next to me back then, little money fanatic Amei
Ah Mei was wearing a sales lady's clothes, a white shirt and a short skirt, a little makeup on her face, her hair was tied up, she looked a little more charming at first glance, but her eyes still showed He showed that pretty playful look.
She stared at me, as if she was too surprised. After the "ah" just now, she didn't say a word again. I approached her, waved my hand in front of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Stupid? Or don't you know me?"
"You, you, you... you... Chen Yang!?" Amei rubbed her eyes vigorously, as if she could finally believe that it was indeed me standing in front of her, and a surprised expression gradually appeared on her face.
"Of course it's me..." I smiled and looked at her: "Why are you here? Are you not a private caregiver anymore? Why are you selling clothes here?"
"Don't mention it!" Amei sighed, with a helpless expression on her face, but then stared at me for a while, rolled her eyes, laughed, and said, "Great, I didn't expect to see you here. Let's go Let's go, let's have dinner together at night... Ah, no... "
She suddenly took a step back, looked at me cautiously, and couldn't help but said: "I remember that you seem to be well-off now, um, I read the newspapers, and you are a rich and powerful person now. How come you came to me ?”
I laughed: "What rich people... don't tell me I'm not me when I'm rich?"
A Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's right, the Chen Yang I know is a kind person who is willing to give me free living and living."
After finishing speaking, she came over laughingly, but grabbed my arm: "Let's go, let's eat."
I glanced at the store: "You... don't have to work anymore?"
"Cut! Originally, today is my last day of work, and I will quit tomorrow! Now that I meet you, I will leave work early and go on strike!"
I smiled wryly: "It's rare to see a sales lady like you... You just left a customer who came to the door in anger, and your boss doesn't care?"
"Cut!" Ah Mei raised two eyebrows, her face sullen: "That old pervert! Huh, he always wants to take advantage of me. This afternoon, when he took advantage of me bending over to organize the shelves, he dared to Touch me! I kicked her hard, and she is still in the hospital. There was a girl colleague here, and she was sent to the hospital."
I shook my head: "Such a boss, what are you still doing here?"
"I can't help it..." Amei sighed and shrugged her shoulders: "I owe him money. When I paid the rent before, I asked him to advance one month's salary. I have no money to pay him back, so I can only insist on it." Scalp has been working here for a month, and I have paid back my salary, so I can leave. Today... Oh, I beat him today, and I think he will trouble me again when I come back tonight... "
She suddenly glanced at me, and said a little coyly: "Well, it's been a long time, I'm really embarrassed to tell you this when we first met... But, you seem to be a rich man now... Can you lend me a thousand dollars?" ? I owe this pervert boss a month's salary, but I only endured it for half a month, and now I still owe him half a month's salary. I wanted to endure it, but today I couldn't bear it anymore. I beat him... He After you come back, you will definitely trouble me with the money issue."
I laughed, and immediately took out the money from my pocket, counted it, and handed it to her from the cash that Xiaoxuan gave me.
"Great! Thank you Xiaowu!" Amei smiled, but she didn't forget to say to me very seriously: "I will definitely pay you back next month!"
After speaking, she put the money on the counter, took out another bunch of keys and pressed it on it. I smiled and added a few hundred more, and pointed to my clothes: "No, I will also give this money."
Amei pulled me out of the store, then locked the door, and this time he let out a sigh of relief: "Free! Free at last!"
"You can leave like this?" I frowned: "You put the money on the counter, what if the boss comes back and says he didn't receive your money?"
"Cut! With you here, if he cheats, you can be my witness." Ah Mei raised her eyebrows. After a pause, she quickly said: "My Amei does things based on my own conscience! Even if I don't care about this boss and leave on his salary for a month, what can he do to me? Can I still go to the court to sue me? Me? When this kind of thing happens to most people, they think they are unlucky. Although I am stingy, you say I am a fan of small money, but I will not be greedy for money that is not my own! The reason why I still grit my teeth and continue to work here , because I must pay back his money myself!"
I sigh.
Indeed, this is the most standard Amei's character.
Although she is a girl like a small money fan who is careful and careful, she even helped me cut the rent price with the real estate company, bargained with the taxi driver, and even helped me with the housework. A girl who is very greedy for money. But she is very principled, she will never be greedy if it is not her own money. Especially for a young and beautiful girl like her, when she was a private nurse, she must have met a lot of rich people, and there were a lot of people who tried to attack her, but she rejected them all.
To use Amei's own words, it is: Little girls love money, but get it in a proper way!
When I won the lottery prize back then, when I wanted to give her money, she firmly refused.
"It's been so long, you haven't changed." I smiled.
"What about you?" Amei heard my words, but suddenly glanced at me, and said slowly, "Have you changed?"
I was startled, as if I saw something complicated in Amei's eyes, but she quickly smiled and looked at me relaxedly: "Are you with Yan Di now? Let me tell you, little girl." Five, you are such a playful man, don't let Yan Di down! If you bully her... I... "
"what about you"
Amei sighed, curled her lips: "What can I do? I'm a little girl, I can't beat you, and I have no money or power, and I can't help Yan Di take revenge... at most...at most..."
"Most what?"
"Humph!" Amei gave me a vicious look: "At most, I'll go back and get a picture of you, and hang it on the wall, and use it to practice throwing knives every day!"
I:"… "
While we were talking, I took her to deliberately walk under a big tree behind the safety island on the side of the road, avoiding the pedestrians on the street.
"What's wrong with you?" Amei looked at me with a strange expression: "Sneaky, as if you are hiding from someone."
"If I tell you that I'm being hunted down right now, would you believe me?" I smiled wryly.
"Tch, I don't believe it!" A Mei curled her lips, and then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I know! You are a famous person now! Are you worried that you will be recognized by your fans! Um, You are super famous now! I read the entertainment news, and you are the headline figure in entertainment in the United States!"
Xiao Nizi fumbled in her bag for a while, but found out a pair of sunglasses and handed them to me: "Take it, put it on! lest I be recognized."
I froze for a moment, looking at the lady's sunglasses in my hand, I even recognized that the sunglasses were a style of a world-famous brand... Of course, this is not real, but a counterfeit cheap product.
Ah Mei was originally teasing me. But after a little hesitation, I actually put on the sunglasses. Amei couldn't help but shouted: "Are you really wearing it? Oh my god... You can't really be hiding from someone, are you?"
I smiled, didn't speak, thought for a while, and said sternly: "Amei, I'm not joking with you... Originally, we are old friends, and I'm very happy to meet you. And... I think if Yan Di knew I will be very happy to meet you. Alas, you don’t know, you have been disconnected from us since then, and Yan Di often thinks of you. But I really have something to do today... well, let me tell you now, You don't believe it... You are in danger with me now. My enemy is looking for me. My friend is coming to pick me up. If my enemy finds me before my friend finds me, then you too Bad luck will follow!"
Ah Mei's eyes widened, and she looked at me in a daze: "You... have you messed with someone you can't mess with?"
"Leave your phone number to me." I didn't answer her question, but said with a smile, "After I go back, the matter will be settled. I'll look for you. Let's get together again at that time."
Amei hesitated for a moment, but she looked very concerned: "What trouble are you really in? Aren't you rich now?"
"Do rich people have no enemies?" Seeing that she would not leave, I was a little anxious, and wanted to scare her: "I offended the underworld! If someone catches me, I will be finished. And you will also be unlucky, be careful Raped first and then killed!"
"Ah!" A Mei screamed, looking at her expression, it seemed that she was about to run away on the spot. But he finally gritted his teeth, looked left and right, with a sneaky look: "What are you going to do? Just wait here? This is the main road, what if someone finds out?"
"My friend will be here in about an hour. I'll sit behind a tree in the shade for an hour, and I think I'll be fine."
"Alas!" Amei hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, I owe you a big favor for living and living by your side for so long! Come with me, go to the place where I live first Hide away." After a pause, she pointed to a place not far away and said, "Did you see that community? The house I rented is in there."
Looking at the direction of her finger, I couldn't help being taken aback.
There really is such a coincidence!
The residential complex she was referring to was actually the place where Xiaoxuan sent me to park a while ago.
"I live there. Since you are in such danger now, how can I leave you on the main road! You can go back with me. It's safer in my house." A Mei sighed.
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, it is really not safe for me to hang out like this. Even if Qinghong's people didn't find me... But you know, I'm a celebrity now! ! My face has been on countless newspaper headlines and TV shows! It would be bad if passers-by recognized me and surrounded me, attracting some troublesome people.
Since Amei lived nearby, it would be safer to go to her house to sit for a while, then call Yang Wei and ask her to drive the car directly to the gate of the residential complex.
After I nodded, Amei pulled me back.
This is an old-fashioned residential complex, and the apartment buildings in it are all old buildings built in the 1980s. There is absolutely no greening and property management in the community. Not even a "community" in the true sense. It's just a wall around the outside of several old residential buildings, a big iron gate is built at the exit, and there is no community security in the small house next to it. Instead, an old man was invited to watch the door. when we go in. The old man at the door sat on a chair with the radio turned off and didn't even look at us.
Amei lived in the innermost building, and she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when we walked all the way into the community. Then she returned to normal, and told me that she had lived here for a year, and she originally looked for a job outside, but then she lost her job, and accidentally discovered that the small clothing store near where she lived was recruiting People, I will be a sales lady for the time being. Who knew the boss was a pervert...
I listened to Amei chirping in my ear, walking in the dark and narrow corridor, there was still a damp and musty smell. I couldn't help but sighed: "Amei, why did you run away? Sigh..."
In fact, after I ran away, Amei was with Yan Di at the beginning. Fang Nan took care of them for a while, and then Qiao Qiao took them away.
Originally, when Fang Nan was taking care of Yan Di and the others, he even asked Yan Di and A Mei to temporarily work in Deep Blue Entertainment Company. But later, for some reason, Amei disappeared. Exactly two years ago, after Qiao Qiao found me and brought the news back to China, Yan Di and Qiao Qiao went to Canada to find me.
Amei was still with Yan Di at that time. But she did not go to Canada with Yan Di. Later, I left with some friends in Nanjing without even saying hello. I don't have a job anymore, and I don't live in a house. After packing his luggage, he left quietly.
Oh, by the way, after she left, it was only later that Aze received a call from her. On the phone, Amei didn't say where she went, but said that she went to find relatives at home. Didn't say anything specific.
Yan Di and A Mei lost contact, and were very sad for a while, after all, they are very good friends. But at that time, Yan Di was by my side, knowing that I was busy with my career and had a lot of troubles to entangle me. Yan Di didn't want to distract me, so she just kept it in her heart and didn't say anything.
It was a great surprise to meet Amei here today.
Looking at the dark Tongzilou, I couldn't help but sigh: "Amei...why? Why did you leave in the first place?"
Not to mention anything else, if she is willing to continue working in Fang Nan's company. Deep Blue Entertainment pays its employees very high salaries, and even provides them with a place to live. The treatment is quite good. No way would Amei be allowed to live in this kind of place now.
After I asked this question, Amei seemed to be silent for a while, she went upstairs silently, and after a while she said calmly: "I don't know anything, I studied nursing, and I can only take care of and serve people. Go I don't know anything about working in a company, and I can't do it. That job, such a high salary, I know that others gave it to me because of your face... I, I don't like the feeling of being dependent on others. "
I am silent.
Indeed, this girl's temper is so weird, she seems to be very greedy for money, but she is very strong.
Although it was said that I lived and ate for free in my house. But she has been working hard to help Yan Di with housework.
"Little girl loves money, but she gets it in a proper way!" A Mei puffed up her chest, then blushed suddenly, and pointed to a dilapidated iron anti-theft door in front of her: "Here we are."
This is a very old-fashioned tube building with a very old layout. After going up the stairs, there is a very long corridor. There are six households on each floor, but there is only one bathroom and one kitchen, which are shared.
I also lived in this kind of building for a while when I was serving dishes in nightclubs as a boy.
But it's really inconvenient for a single girl to live in such a place where even the toilets are shared—it's really hard for this little girl.
Amei embarrassedly took out the key and opened the door.
Pushing open the door, the house is very small, only one room, about ten square meters, with a bed and a small dining table inside. The water bottle was on the floor.
The room was tidy. After all, she was a nurse. Amei was very meticulous in housework. Once the narrow room was arranged by her, not only did it not feel cramped, but it was a little more warm like a girl's boudoir.
The pink bed sheets and curtains look cheap, but they are obviously well-chosen, with harmonious colors and patterns.
There are a few cheap little decorations hanging on the wall, which at first glance has a bit of the warm taste of a girl's home. There is also a simple wardrobe next to it, and there is a bunny doll with long ears on it.
The floor was clean and the quilt on the bed was folded cleanly.
"You don't need to change your slippers." Ah Mei seemed not to feel inferior to her small house, but rather proud of it: "How is it? My house is nice, isn't it? With such an area, I have been fighting with the landlord for a long time." The price! The rent is so low that I almost woke up laughing at night!"
At this moment, Amei's face didn't look like a small money fan at all. Instead, she closed the door happily with a kind of calm and satisfied girl's joy, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the local It’s too small, there’s no chair, just sit on the bed... I usually sit on the bed to eat.”
I sat down and was about to compliment her when I suddenly saw a row of clothes racks hanging under the window sill, hanging under the curtains, I was stunned...
Omg...uh...that's a row of girls' underwear!
No wonder people said, don't rush into a girl's house!
Two bras, pink and light yellow, quite sexy... especially a pair of pink panties, made of cotton... Uh, on the front of the panties, there is a Winnie the Pooh... There is also a pair of red panties, It's only the size of my palm... It's still a thong!
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, Amei had already noticed my gaze, screamed "Ah", her face flushed immediately, she ran over and tore off all the underwear with her swift hands, and then All tucked under the quilt on the bed. Then he turned around and looked at me, staring and said, "What are you looking at!"
Amei and I are naturally very familiar with each other. We know that at this time, we must not continue to talk nonsense with this little pepper, otherwise we will definitely get kicked! So I quickly turned away and pretended to admire the bunny on the closet.
