Such plots often appear in novels or film and television works. When the protagonist is doing or encountering certain things, there will always be one or more cannon fodders who come out to find fault with the protagonist, but are slapped in the face by the protagonist instead.
Fortunately, Ming Wuxiang and the others are not the protagonists today, but passers-by who are in charge of eating melons.
The voice from the door made the face of the shopkeeper, who was talking to Ming Wuxiang and Gu Tang with a smile on his face, suddenly darken.
The owner of the shop, Boss Chen, who was called by the person at the door, did not immediately turn his gaze to the door. Instead, he first apologized to Ming Wuxiang and the others, and then looked calmly at the group of people who had already entered the shop.
"I'm sorry, both of you, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, boss, you are busy beforehand."
Ming Wuxiang waved his hand, and when Boss Chen turned his head to look at the group of people who barged in, he also looked over curiously. Li Jiahua, who was playing with rocks at first, dropped the rock in his hand and walked quickly to Ming Wuxiang's side when he saw someone making trouble.
He whispered in Ming Wuxiang's ear, "Master Dao, what's the situation?"
Ming Wuxiang didn't answer, but just shook his head, because he didn't know what was going on, and the only thing he knew now was that the people at the door were not kind.
The other party was not looking for them, one more thing is worse than one less thing, Ming Wuxiang whispered to Li Jiahua not to interrupt at will.
After instructing Li Jiahua, Ming Wuxiang leaned over to Gu Tang's ear, and asked softly, "Do you have any impression of the pedestrian at the door?"
The warm breath coming from his ear made Gu Tang's ear tips subconsciously move, and he paused before answering Ming Wuxiang's question, shaking his head to show that he had no impression of that group of people.
Hearing that Gu Tang said he had no impression, Ming Wuxiang was a little relieved, and at the same time he could speculate that the group of people who broke in should not be stubborn.
When Ming Wuxiang and the three of them were talking in low voices, Boss Chen had already met the group of people who were finding fault.
"This shop is run on a small budget, Young Master Zhang's proposal, I'm sorry I can't get ahead!" Boss Chen's tone was very tough, but the group on the other side didn't change because of Boss Chen's tough tone.
Looking at their expressions, especially the one called Young Master Zhang by Boss Chen, he looked so frivolous that he deserved a beating.
"Boss Chen's words are very modest. Who knows that Boss Chen is famous in Gambling Stone Street in Shanshi City, and there are many rare jadeites in the shop."
Young Master Zhang's tone at the beginning was a little greasy, but later it turned into a warning and threat.
"However, Boss Chen, excessive modesty is pride. This young master's proposal can be said to be sincere. If you want to cooperate with Boss Chen to make a lot of money, you must know that after this village, there will be no such shop. Boss Chen Think about it, not for yourself, but also for your family!"
"you!"
Young Master Zhang's threat made Boss Chen want to strangle this damned guy to death.
The so-called cooperation to make a lot of money that Young Master Zhang said is nothing but nonsense. Boss Chen's Stone Gambling Shop is indeed famous in the Stone Gambling Street of Shanshi City. No need to inquire, Ming Wuxiang knows from Gu Tang's evaluation of the stones in the shop that it is indeed not bad.
However, since there is a gambling character in betting on stones, no one can guarantee that they will win the bet 100%.
Young Master Zhang's plan is to cooperate with Boss Chen, and in the name of Boss Chen, recommend jadeite wool to some rich men who don't know how to bet on stones.
It is indeed a big money-making business. Those rich people who are stupid and have a lot of money have to coax them well. Even if it is rubbish, they will spend a lot of money to buy it.
Someone with no morals might agree to Young Master Zhang's proposal, but in the stone gambling business, who doesn't cherish their feathers, especially a well-known person like Boss Chen, would dare not let his reputation be stained.
Boss Chen knew very well that this Young Master Zhang didn't want to cooperate with him at all, but wanted to use his reputation to deceive people, so that it would be even more impossible for Boss Chen to cooperate with him.
It's just that Boss Chen suffers because he doesn't have a backer, otherwise Zhang Shao, an upstart rich second generation, wouldn't dare to threaten him so openly.
"Why, should Boss Chen think about this young master's proposal?" The corners of Zhang Shao's mouth were raised high, and he looked at Boss Chen as if he was looking at a sleeping and struggling prey.
He would choose Boss Chen because he had investigated it. The other party had a good reputation in Gambling Stone Street. He had no background and only one daughter at home. Such a person is easier to handle, Zhang Shao is not afraid that the other party will not agree to his proposal.
"Hey, Young Master Zhang is really majestic today. By the way, my young master is also interested in the big deal that Young Master Zhang said. Can Young Master Zhang tell me about it?"
Just as the atmosphere in the shop became more and more tense, another voice came in. When the voice sounded, Ming Wuxiang and Li Jiahua couldn't help showing smiles on their faces.
Under the watchful eyes of the two, a certain person walked into the store posing as a young master, and he was not the only one who came in, followed by a person in a suit who looked like an assistant at first glance.
Boss Chen's stone gambling shop is not small, but so many people gathered together, it made the shop a bit crowded, and those customers who were originally in the shop didn't leave, and they all looked at Mr. a group of people.
"Yi Xing?! Why are you here!" Young Master Zhang saw that the person who interrupted him was actually Yi Xing, and his previous arrogant manner immediately changed into a look of fear.
That's right, the person who came was Ming Wuxiang's little partner Yi Xing.
It is said that they have been roommates with Yi Xing for three years, and it is the first time for Ming Wuxiang and the others to see Yi Xing put on the appearance of a young master. Usually, only when he invites the people in the dormitory to spend a meal, does Ming Wuxiang and the others feel that Yi Xing is a rich second generation.
Who made him so funny when he was with Li Jiahua.
When Boss Chen saw Yi Xing's appearance, his resentment relaxed a lot, and there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes, "Master Yi, you are here."
"Didn't Uncle Chen agree to just call me Yi Xing, what about Young Master Yi, just listen to the truth." When facing Boss Chen, Yi Xing's expression immediately changed, returning to the familiar appearance of Ming Wuxiang and the others.
Seeing the attitude of talking between Yi Xing and Boss Chen, Young Master Zhang couldn't help squinting his eyes, and before Yi Xing and the others could speak, he sneered and said, "Oh, that's how it is. Another tall branch."
Zhang Shao's yin and yang strangeness, Yi Xing's face is casual, but his ability to slander people is still appropriate, "I'm too proud, Gao Zhi, it's not really, but it should be better than Zhang Shao, in business, conscience is the bottom line, if I don't even have a conscience..." At the end, Yi Xing glanced critically at Young Master Zhang, then sighed and shook his head.
Although Yi Xing didn't say it directly, but seeing his eyes, Zhang Shao was not a patient person in the first place, and it would be strange if he didn't blow up.
"Easy! Do you understand first come, first served! Or are you trying to break the rules?"
Every line has its own rules, but he can't wear the hat of Young Master Zhang, with Yi Xing's expression, "Young Master Zhang's mouth is sharp enough, but before saying that I broke the rules, shouldn't Young Master Zhang reflect on himself first, who is the right person?" The one who broke the rules of stone gambling?"
If Zhang Shao's cooperation with Boss Chen is normal, then it's not his turn to speak, but Zhang Shao's plan is to use Boss Chen's reputation as a bait to deceive those who don't know how to bet on stones.
Who is the one who breaks the rules, just not the stupid one knows.
Being so provoked by Yi Xing, when Young Master Zhang wanted to speak, he was pulled back by the people behind him. Although the clothes of that person were similar to that of the assistant next to Yi Xing, it was just a comparison of his temperament that immediately distinguished him. He didn't see the person next to Yi Xing, and followed behind Yi Xing with a submissive expression, while observing his surroundings.
Unlike those around Zhang Shao, they always looked like they had their nostrils upturned, which made Ming Wuxiang feel that this group of people had some brains.
I don't know what that person said in Young Master Zhang's ear, but Young Master Zhang who was originally angry immediately changed into a sneer, "Yi Xing, since you mentioned the rules, then we will settle it by gambling with stones!"
Zhang Shao on the opposite side suddenly became smarter, Yi Xing frowned slightly, and before waiting for the assistant behind him to speak, Li Jiahua, who had always been a melon eater, suddenly said, "Yi Xing, don't be cowardly, just hate!"
When Li Jiahua spoke, Yi Xing found out that his little friends were also in the store. With a surprised expression on his face, he said, "Master Dao, why are you guys here too?"
It was rare to be able to see friends during the holidays, so Yi Xing directly threw aside Zhang Shao, who was like a puffed up puffer fish.
"Hey, we've been doing well all along, but Young Master Yi, you're playing prestige. How can you see melon-eating people like us?"
Facing Li Jiahua's teasing, Yi Xing directly punched him on the shoulder, "Little Lizi, you melon-eaters, you finally started to make fun of others."
Yi Xing rolled his eyes, today he was only accompanied by his father's assistant, and didn't bring a stone gambler with him at all, okay, how can he solve it by betting on stones? If he had known that Young Master Zhang would come to trouble Uncle Li today, he wouldn't have only two people coming!
"Can you stop coaxing, that guy deserves a beating too much." Li Jiahua pouted at Young Master Zhang after finishing speaking.
Yi Xing also agrees with Li Jiahua's evaluation, but Yi Xing is also anxious, "That guy deserves a beating, but there is no way to beat him now."
"Didn't you say gambling with stones, beat him to death!"
"Fuck you, I don't have a stone gambler with me!"
Hearing the young master's swearing, the assistant who had been quiet couldn't help coughing, reminding his young master that Young Master Zhang would hear it.
Sure enough, seeing that he was being ignored by Yi Xing, Young Master Zhang heard Yi Xing say that he didn't bring a stone gambler with him before he had time to explode. His face immediately changed into a mocking expression, and at the same time he used his tone to anger Yi Xing.
"Why, don't you dare to gamble? It turns out that Young Master Yi is also afraid sometimes."
Yi Xing really wanted to reply that he was afraid of being a fool, but Yi Xing was not a fool like Zhang Shao, and he would agree to it knowing that he was losing the gamble.
"Yi Xing is not afraid, we have foreign aid!" After Li Jiahua finished speaking, he pointed at Ming Wuxiang... who was pushing Gu Tang, "Brother Gu knows how to gamble with stones!"
"Brother Gu?" Yi Xing looked in the direction Li Jiahua pointed, and saw Gu Tang sitting in a wheelchair with a strange look in his eyes.
As for Ming Wuxiang, he rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was obviously just a melon-eating crowd, how did he become the protagonist
But if the little friend is in trouble, he won't just stand by and watch.
