"Do you know him?" Uncle Tian glanced at Chen Xiao.
"An acquaintance." Chen Xiao thought for a while: "Last time I encountered a bank robber. He was one of the robbers, but he wasn't too bad, he just seemed quite unlucky."
When the fat man heard this, he suddenly felt more hopeful. He knelt down and begged again and again: "Brothers, please don't hand me over to the police! I swear, I robbed a bank just once in my life... Oh no." No, no, I’ve only done one bad thing in my life!! If I hadn’t been so poor and desperate, I wouldn’t have done such a thing... Wuwuwuwuwu.”
"Leave it to the police." Chen Xiao sighed.
"Don't! Don't!" The fat man turned pale with fright: "I escaped from prison. I was coerced by my brother-in-law to rob the bank. In the end, they all died. I took all the blame alone! Pretty boy, ah, no, no, no, this handsome boy, you know that I didn’t mean to harm you at the beginning! It’s my brother-in-law’s heinous behavior, it’s none of my business! If I’m caught now, I’ll be punished for all crimes. Shot!"
After all, Chen Xiao is still kind-hearted. Although this fat man is a bit wretched, judging from the experience of being kidnapped that day, he does not look like a heinous villain. Instead, he is a little timid, and he actually imitated others to rob a bank... If he was really caught like this, charged with robbing a bank and escaping from prison, he might really be shot...
"Let him live." Chen Xiao sighed.
He glanced at the clothes on the fat man again, frowned and said: "You are dressed like this, and when you go out and meet people, you can tell at a glance that you are a fugitive - that's all, save people to the end, and send Buddha to the West."
Chen Xiao took off his coat and threw it away. Although the coat may be a bit small judging from the two's stature, it is still just fine.
The fat man thanked him profusely and cried bitterly: "What a good man! I will never look down on the pretty boy again! There are good people in the pretty boy too!"
Chen Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a few bills and gave them to the fat man: "Since you want to be a good person, you should find a place to change your mind and become a new person. I don't think you are a bad guy. I just let you go, if in the future... hum!"
The two got in the car again, started the car and left. Behind them, the fat man was still waving vigorously in the dust.
…
"You are soft-hearted." During the whole process, Uncle Tian had been silent, and now he smiled and spoke.
"It's just compassion." Chen Xiao suddenly sighed: "These are all fate! I think this guy is quite pitiful. As he said, he is just an accomplice, but because several other accomplices and the principal criminal are dead, He had to bear all the charges. Moreover, when I came into contact with him that day, he just had a bad mouth, but he didn't actually look like a bad guy. If he lost his life just like that, it would be quite unjust."
After a pause, Chen Xiao's tone was a little strange: "He has his destiny, and I also have mine! Although I can't change my destiny, when I meet this poor guy, if I can give him a little help, Helping him change his miserable fate, actually... this feels pretty good."
Uncle Tian smiled: "Isn't this considered 'sympathetic to each other'?"
"Even so." Chen Xiao said dullly, closing his eyes to rest.
I helped this fat man, maybe with just a little effort, I changed his destiny.
So, who will change my destiny
wry smile…
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Xiao was already sitting in the "Riback" coffee shop again.
All three unscrupulous bosses of this unfinished street are here - "Unfinished Street" is the name Chen Xiao gave to this commercial pedestrian street. But Zhu Rong later told him: "You can name it whatever you want, this street is originally ours."
Chen Xiao didn't quite understand it at first, but then he understood that what Zhu Rong meant by "our" was that the real estate company that originally developed this commercial street was actually a handbag company run by these retired old guys. Originally, Chen Xiao also felt strange. What kind of stupid real estate company would build a commercial pedestrian street in such a damn place? Could it be that too much money has damaged your brain
Only now do I know that a few old guys just spent money to build such a commercial street just to carve out a piece of land in the suburbs of K city as a backyard garden for their retirement.
"Last night's occasion was not formal. Today, we old guys, let's formally welcome our new members to join the team." Lao Tian smiled generously.
Zhu Rong smoked carelessly and glanced at Chen Xiao's eyes from time to time. Gonggong still looked like a little bird, not daring to say a word next to Zhu Rong.
"I have a few questions that I need to ask clearly first." Chen Xiao shook his head: "Otherwise, I won't be able to get rid of the doubts in my heart, and it will be difficult to do this job."
"You tell me." Zhu Rong flicked the ashes of his cigarette quickly: "There are no outsiders here."
"First, why me." Chen Xiao squinted his eyes: "I ask myself, there is not much that is surprising. We all meet by chance, and there is no friendship. Being your agent means that you are responsible for all the entrustments accepted on your behalf. He also has the power to decide which commissions to accept. You entrust such an important job to me... Why? Do I have the word 'good person' written on my face? "
Chen Xiao said and shook his head: "I don't think there is trust without reason in this world. Even if I am also a person with super powers, you can't trust me so much right away."
It was Uncle Tian who answered Chen Xiao: "Chen Xiao, in fact, we started observing you from the first day you came here."
The generous Uncle Tian's smile at this moment actually looked a little cunning: "Old man Ai has stored a lot of valuable things in the iron cabinet upstairs. We all know this...it is the common property of several of us. And you come here The test for you has already begun in the first minute you arrive here. If you are a greedy person and suddenly see so much wealth in such a big iron cabinet, if you have a bad heart, you would have already Tried to take property and run away.”
Lao Tian smiled slightly: "Besides, I can see that there is only a little surprise in your eyes, but there is not even a little bit of greed. Such people are really rare."
Chen Xiao touched his nose: "Just because I'm not greedy?"
"Isn't this enough?" Uncle Tian spread his hands: "In this world, finding a non-greedy person is even rarer than a panda. We looked for several candidates for this agent. But when we met Among people, there are many people who are greedy for money, have ulterior motives, and are bent on self-interest... There are also two times when the subject of the test, as soon as he saw the gold in the iron cabinet, wanted to take it away on the same day... "
Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask: "So... how did you deal with the people who tried to get away with the money?"
Zhu Rong blew out a smoke ring and said without any emotion in his voice: "There is a river in the southern suburbs of the city..."
“…”
…
"The second reason is that you are a superpower. At the same time, your life experience is enough to ensure our confidentiality." Zhu Rong spoke. She looked at Chen Xiao and her eyes flashed: "You are on the service club's observation list. At the same time, we have also read your resume. Let's put it this way, handsome guy, your parents have passed away, and almost all your relatives and friends have cut off contact with you. You don't have any relatives around you... You are simply a modern version of the "Lonely Star" Ah. In this way, we can ensure the confidentiality of our small organization. Moreover, I can see that you are not a person who likes to talk too much. "
"Also, you are a person with superpowers. Although as an agent, you usually don't need to take action. However, after all, the work we are engaged in is quite special. Occasionally, we will have to deal with some colleagues. If you have the ability If it’s too weak, it would be too shameful.”
"Finally, you are smart, young, and energetic. We guys are already lazy to the core. We can do it, but if you want us to manage accounts, organize customer information, deal with various customers, etc. Things... we are really too lazy to do. It turns out that we leave these things to old man Edward, but this old guy has been fed up with it recently, so he just patted his butt and ran away. "
Zhu Rong finished speaking in one breath, and finally looked at Chen Xiao: "I have explained everything that needs to be said. Now, can you decide to accept this job?"
Chen Xiao smiled, his smile was very relaxed: "I have one last question."
The three unscrupulous bosses looked at Chen Xiao together: "What?"
"Salary."
Chen Xiao looked at the three guys innocently, and there was a hint of cunning unique to young people in his originally pure smile: "Since you are working part-time, you can't work in vain, right?"
"One percent of the income from each entrusted business."
It was Uncle Tian who answered: "What we do is a business without capital. But since you are just doing agency work and don't have to do it yourself, you can withdraw 1% of the income from each business. The rest will be paid by the people involved in the operation. Everyone is divided equally. Of course... If you are interested in going out to do tasks yourself in the future, you can also get corresponding rewards. We are very fair. "
One percent…
Think about the antique sword worth 10 million US dollars that Lu Chengzhe took out this time... it was already 100,000 US dollars.
Is it so profitable
"Okay, then I have no problem." Chen Xiao thought for a while: "If I accept this job, do I need to sign a contract?"
The three of them all laughed, and Zhu Rong blinked: "Do you think a group of people like us can be bound by the law? There is no need for such things as contracts."
Uncle Tian patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder: "Okay, since you are our agent now, I will tell you something clearly. Under normal circumstances, Thursday nights are the business hours for accepting commissions. Yesterday In the evening, because it was your first time here, we didn't trust you, so we came over to see you. But from now on, every Thursday night, if it's not necessary, we won't show up, and you'll have to deal with it yourself. On weekdays, we guys are in our respective shops on this street. If you need anything, you can come to us yourself. But there is one thing you have to remember."
"What?"
Uncle Tian's face became serious: "We will only take action within the scope of the mission. Otherwise, if it is your own private matter and you need help... we will not take action at will. This is our principle: ourselves You can handle your own affairs by yourself, and keep the distinction between public and private! If you have any personal difficulties and need our help, that's not impossible, but you must follow the rules, entrust and pay remuneration, and then we will help. Otherwise... "
Chen Xiao thought about it and had no objection: "It's fair."
He stood up: "So, I am your client now?"
The three of them nodded at the same time: "Yes, you are the one."
"Now, am I the owner of this coffee shop?" Chen Xiao asked again.
The three nodded again.
"Okay then." Chen Xiao smiled happily: "The first thing is about Mr. Lu Chengzhe's commission. Since it is the first commission I have encountered since I accepted this job, it is such a meaningful business. , I think it’s acceptable. What do you think?”
After looking at it, no one objected—passed!
"Then, let's talk about the second thing." Chen Xiao's smile became a little weirder: "It's clearly written on the door of this coffee shop. Beauties are free of charge, but other than beauties... Ahem, the three of you are here I’ve been drinking coffee here for two days, uh, Uncle Tian drinks tea. Except that Sister Zhu Rong doesn’t need to pay, Uncle Tian and Brother Gonggong, please pay the bill.”
Chen Xiao quickly took out a small calculator from his back, pressed it a few times, and raised a smile: "Two cups of top-quality Biluochun green tea and a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee, the inheritance is 506 yuan."
Lao Tian and Gong Gong looked at each other, sighed, and honestly took out their wallets.
…
The incompatible husband and wife duo soon left, and very wickedly left the task of bringing the newcomer to the generous Uncle Tian.
Uncle Tian's attitude became serious at this moment, and he led Chen Xiao to the backcourt storage room of the coffee shop. Chen Xiao had already come in to take a look at this storage room. It was not large and did not store anything. The only food was purchased by him after selling a piece of gold yesterday.
However, when Uncle Tian pushed open the freezer in the storage room, a wooden door was revealed under the freezer. After opening it, there was a secret passage downwards - Chen Xiao was not surprised at all when he saw all this. He had seen too many weird facts in the past few days, which had already strengthened his heart.
"This is the equipment storage room." Uncle Tian's expression was very serious: "Basically, you need to become familiar with everything here as soon as possible. And you must ensure that nothing inside is taken out and spread outside!"
Chen Xiao shrugged: "I'm not that boring. I don't like being treated as a monster either."
Go down the steps of the passage and soon come to a secret room.
What surprised Chen Xiao was that he originally thought that a place similar to the high-end scientific research laboratories in science fiction movies would appear in front of him—but it didn't.
The place is even a little... shabby.
The walls were painted with simple white latex paint and were clean—but just "clean". There are no high-tech electronic anti-theft devices, and even the lights are old-fashioned chandeliers! A solitary light bulb emitted dim light...
In the fifty-square-meter space, there are some instruments whose purpose is unclearly placed.
"You stand on it first." Uncle Tian pointed to one of the machines - this thing looks a bit like an electronic treadmill in a gym. Below is a long base, with a display screen standing in front of it, and metal sensing areas on the armrests on both sides.
Chen Xiao stood on it as Uncle Tian asked, holding the armrests on both sides with both hands, and relaxed his whole body.
Uncle Tian took two steps back. Chen Xiaozheng was surprised when suddenly the screen in front of him automatically flashed and lit up.
As the screen flashed, a string of characters quickly appeared on it:
"Unknown object, initial analysis..."
Then, Chen Xiao watched the armrests on both sides gently open, and he felt a slight tingling on his fingers. Two sharp needles automatically pricked his fingertips from the armrest and took a drop of blood sample. It flows all the way up along a thin transparent pipe.
"Hold on and don't let go." Uncle Tian reminded Chen Xiao.
The screen continues to display: "Blood sample analysis..."
A few seconds later, Chen Xiao saw the outline of a human body appear on the screen, and that was himself. It turns out that this instrument has automatically scanned your weight and body contours.
"Basic analysis of blood samples: blood type, A. Hemoglobin content, ordinary level. White blood cell content, ordinary level..."
The screen continued to display: "Tip, the target person's blood sample contains unknown substances. The blood sample may have been infected by heterogeneous materials. There is insufficient data and cannot be analyzed."
Uncle Tian stood behind and smiled: "I heard that you seem to have inhaled some 'purification', right?"
"..." Chen Xiao nodded.
…

This, this is my test result
Chen Xiao looked at the screen...
