Nervous, uneasy, yet a little bit secretly happy and confused, this might be how Zhou Ze felt as he took a taxi to the suburbs of Tongcheng.
He is short of money, very short of money, but he is not short of a lot of money. It is of no use for him to have a lot of money, at least for the time being.
Because of his resurrection from the dead, he needs some money to resolve the entanglements of his past life and the troubles of this life. After that, he will make long-term plans instead of living an extravagant and indulgent life.
For example, leaving the Lin family, although Lin Wanqiu was very beautiful and had a good temperament, he was too lazy to go back to that family. They didn't have any physical contact, and he didn't really enjoy it. It seemed that Xu Le didn't really enjoy it either, so naturally there was no debt to speak of;
So there is no psychological pressure in saying "bye-bye".
But if he leaves that home, he has to make some preparations. He has to have a place to stay and buy a freezer of slightly better quality. Zhou Ze doesn't dare to go to the second-hand market to buy discarded freezers. What if something really goes wrong and he sleeps in it and ends up killing himself? Wouldn't that be a huge loss
money!
Being a ghost also requires money.
But hearing the feeling of the man who just called Xu Le, Zhou Ze felt a little uneasy again. Xu Le is a modern urban son-in-law, so cowardly that he lets his father-in-law and mother-in-law bully him at home, and so cowardly that he sleeps in a separate bed from his wife. But it turns out that he is a hidden gangster boss
Well, this kind of visual conflict is really exciting, and it fits in with the style of American dramas. Awesome characters always have a real identity that seems very ordinary.
For example, Spider-Man is a middle school student and Superman is a reporter for a newspaper.
So, how should I deal with this situation
How to deal with that gang
Zhou Ze didn't want to let his identity be "tarnished" because it would mean endless trouble. In the real world, the police's pursuit of him was not something Xu Le could handle easily, not to mention the person that the old man and the faceless woman had shouted "will find and catch you".
Although he had a headache and felt a little uncomfortable, Zhou Ze still came to the abandoned small fertilizer factory.
Two people were squatting at the entrance of the fertilizer factory, one wearing a somewhat worn military coat and the other wearing a cheap and low-quality suit.
Two people were squatting there, each holding a cigarette in their mouths, puffing away at the smoke.
Zhou Ze paid the fare and got out of the car. The other party stood up and walked over to him.
"Our boss is waiting for you." The man in the military coat said in a deep voice.
Zhou Ze nodded, then followed the man in the military coat inside, while the man in the suit continued to squat there smoking, as if he was keeping watch.
After walking in, Zhou Ze saw a fat man with a gold chain and a shaved head sitting on a plastic chair drinking by himself. When he saw Zhou Ze coming, the fat man immediately stood up and
"Brother Xu, you are finally here."
The fat man is very tall, about 1.85 meters tall, and the gold chain is very thick, which makes him look very exaggerated, and the gold powder rubbed out by the gold chain on his neck is even more exaggerated.
"Where's the goods?"
Zhou Ze put his hands behind his back, crossing his fingers slightly. There were only three people here, so it wouldn't be a problem to knock them all down together, but what to do after that? If he handed them over to the police, wouldn't he also be betrayed
Deal with it himself? Eliminate them on behalf of the Moon? It doesn't seem good either. With his sensitive identity, if he kills people at will, there might be the same backlash as saving people at will. He is not willing to try it easily.
"Brother Xu is still as straightforward as before!"
The fat man wiped his mouth, then reached out and patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder.
The corners of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath, trying hard not to slap the fat man's greasy hand.
“Come here!”
The fat man made an inviting gesture and took Zhou Ze to a small warehouse in the backyard.
After walking in,
Zhou Ze's pupils shrank suddenly.
The goods were piled up like a small mountain, covered with black oil paper bags.
Zhou Ze had never done anything illegal before, but he knew that with so much stuff, if judged according to the law, it would be enough for him to be shot hundreds of times, and he would have a bloated stomach just from eating peanuts.
"Not just Tongcheng, right?" Zhou Ze actually wanted to ask, did you just rob a warlord from the Golden Triangle
"Brother Xu, of course. Tongcheng is still too small. This batch of goods will eventually flow into Shanghai through Tongcheng." The fat man stretched lazily. "This time, we should seize the time and quickly digest the goods. We can make a lot of money."
Zhou Ze reached out and touched his forehead, and said in embarrassment: "It's hard to digest in a short time, right?"
After all, you are not selling cabbages, you can't go there shouting on a tricycle with a loud speaker.
"Don't worry about this, Brother Xu. We just need to distribute this batch of goods to the people below. Although the profit is not as high as if we sell it ourselves, it is faster and the delivery is guaranteed. After we finish this batch, we will get another one." The fat man said disapprovingly.
Xu Le, ah Xu Le, you even built a drug trafficking network, you are really awesome...
Such a big shot was beaten to death with a stick by that idiot just for stealing 300 yuan!
"Brother Xu, come and take a look at the quality of this batch of goods."
The fat man said as he lifted the oil paper bag on top.
Then Zhou Ze showed a look of surprise on his face.
Because what he saw was not a mountain of drugs, but a stack of books and CDs.
Could it be in the cracks of the book
"Brother Xu, thanks to your classmate, it was easy to get this batch of goods. These discs are all popular movies that are still showing on the screen. I also specially copied a few more ***** into them. These pirated books and romance novels are also best-selling works on the market.
There is also the expanded version of Bai Jie that you specially wrote, Brother Xu, with 20 volumes and 2 million words. Many of our offline customers have already pre-ordered this one, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. "
"Are these the goods you are talking about?" Zhou Ze asked the fat man.
"Yeah?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, "That's all."
disappointment,
Very disappointed,
Very disappointed,
At the same time, I felt so ashamed.
Xu Le is still Xu Le after all. In order to make these pirated things sell well, he even continued Bai Jie's story himself.
And he also wrote a two-million-word sequel.
How much free time does he have
"How much can I withdraw?" Zhou Ze asked, "I plan to withdraw."
When doing business together, there should be capital investment.
"What? Brother Xu, you're planning to withdraw?" The fat man asked in surprise, "We're just waiting to make money, and you're planning to withdraw now?"
“Well, this is not in line with core values, and I don’t want to do it anymore.”
Zhou Ze said seriously that he didn't want to take any risk, especially before he sorted out his current life, he didn't want to be involved in any possible vortex.
“… … ” Fatty.
“… … ” Military coat.
"Brother Xu has a high level of awareness. I admire you. In the early stage, Brother Xu, you participated in the investment..."
The fat man held up four fingers and said, "Twenty thousand yuan."
"Twenty thousand is twenty thousand. Give me the money. The rest has nothing to do with me." Zhou Ze was too lazy to care about these things. Twenty thousand yuan could be considered a solution to his current urgent need.
"Okay, I still have 20,000 yuan here." The fat man nodded and went to get the money.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ze, with 20,000 yuan in his pocket, got a ride-hailing car and started back to the city.
He didn't rush back to the bookstore, but went to the electrical appliance market and spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a freezer. This freezer is generally used by merchants to store food and meat, and it is also considered to be a relatively high-end type. Zhou Ze was reluctant to spend money, after all, he would have to rely on it to sleep in the future, and he was afraid that something might go wrong with the cheap stuff.
The merchant was very welcoming and sent a small truck to help Zhou Ze deliver the freezer directly to... ...the entrance of the bookstore.
After the driver and Zhou Ze moved the freezer into the bookstore, they were still a little stunned.
"Boss, do you need a freezer for your bookstore?" asked the driver.
Zhou Ze handed over a cigarette and said, "Business is not good, so I plan to sell seafood part-time."
The driver took the cigarette and left. Anyway, the goods had been delivered, so he didn't have to worry about anything else.
There is a small second floor in the bookstore, which was originally used by Xu Le to store books. After Zhou Ze cleaned it up, he placed the freezer on top. Looking at his "new bed", Zhou Ze finally felt much more at ease.
When Zhou Ze came down from the second floor, he found someone in his bookstore. She was not a customer, but his "wife".
Doctor Lin was flipping through a magazine. When he saw Zhou Ze coming down, he asked in confusion, "What are you busy with up there?"
"Organize the goods." Zhou Ze said perfunctorily.
"I'm off work." said Dr. Lin.
"Yeah." You won't sleep with me after get off work...
"The girl has woken up." Doctor Lin looked at Zhou Ze with emphasis. "Her father wants to treat everyone in our department to dinner at Tongcheng Hotel. You should come too."
"What am I going to do?"
"The girl kept calling me uncle after she woke up." Doctor Lin asked Zhou Ze curiously, "Did you know her before?"
"Even when a person is unconscious, they still have feelings, right?" Zhou Ze continued to make up stories. "When I saved her, she might have been able to feel it."
"Are you going?" asked Doctor Lin.
"No." Zhou Ze shook his head, "I'm not hungry. I have no appetite at all."
Dr. Lin nodded and didn't continue to force it. She seemed ready to leave, but when she reached the door of the bookstore, she stopped again and asked, "Are you going home tonight?"
Back to the old familiar problem.
I came home and you didn't sleep with me...
Therefore, Zhou Ze answered decisively:
"Not going back. I've been busy lately."
Well, although the business in the store has become as quiet as iced lattes.
Dr. Lin hesitated for a moment, did not force it, took out the car keys from his pocket and prepared to leave.
Just then,
There was a loud clang.
Doctor Lin turned around and saw that her "husband" had fallen on the bookshelf, with the books on the bookshelf rolling to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Doctor Lin immediately came over to check on Zhou Ze's condition.
Zhou Ze felt his eyes begin to blur and his vision was difficult to focus. His chest rose and fell, and his feet felt weak. He felt like he had completely lost his balance, as if he had stepped on cotton.
"I'm so hungry..."
Zhou Ze replied.
he,
I haven't eaten for a few days.
