"I lived a different way in my thirties, as you saw," Lao Jin said, "but now you don't know why and how to live, so I say you haven't seen yourself yet. You are still living in In the eyes of others, in the wishes of others... However, there is still time, so there is no rush."
The topic about Xu Tingsheng stopped here.
"Talking about you two," Lao Jin turned his head and said to Huang Yaming, "When I was sitting down tonight, I was actually thinking, should I just watch you being eaten alive, or do something..."
Needless to say, the result of Lao Jin's question, if it was the former, he would definitely not be sitting here and saying these things now.
"You think tonight is really just a drinking party. Let's see if the bar is good. Is it worth investing in? You think that a group of people who can establish a foundation in a place like Bingzhou are really just reckless? Let me tell you, we In fact, there is no need to come to Yanzhou, and we will definitely invest in you, because what we really value is your foundation, most of which are Xu Tingsheng.
We just want to use your foundation to pave the way, because we don't have these.
We are here mainly to see if you can deal with it well... After tonight, at least ten of the twelve people have already made up their minds and decided to eat you. The way is paved and we will eat you. We have eaten countless people who came to Bingzhou to invest in the mining industry. We have treated each of them like brothers and helped each other with all our strength... "
The words were addressed to Huang Yaming.
"How many houses and how much did you talk to Twelve and the others tonight?"
"Twenty companies, three hundred million."
"Do you think the money of us people is really so easy to get?"
"I know it's not easy."
"Then why are you in a hurry?"
"I... want to take a gamble. If I succeed, I can save many years of walking."
"Are you short of time? You've come this far in your early twenties. With Xu Tingsheng as your foundation, your future is bright and opportunities are endless. Why do you want to gamble?...Read it in a book? Listen to the truth?"
Huang Yaming hesitated to speak, because he really couldn't give a reason. Where does this mentality come from? It seems to be a kind of socially oriented theory, which has been quietly instilled into many people. It is rare to fight a few times in life, and life is one game after another. It sounds so impassioned...
"Do you understand management? Twenty chains?"
"I… "
"Do you have enough trustworthy people?"
"I… "
"Financial resources, strength, wrists, which one of you can stand up to people like us?"
"I… "
"You are still in the stage of accumulating experience. If you have no foundation in life, I don't mind you taking a gamble. But now, if you have a foundation, you shouldn't gamble on it. Now you do anything, and you are sure to get out , Being able to stand up is the premise. I admire you more than Xu Tingsheng because you are more ambitious than him, but you have to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."
Huang Yaming closed his eyes and pondered for a while, feeling worried and unwilling.
"Do you know what is the only rule in Bingzhou's 30th group?" Lao Jin asked suddenly.
Then he replied: "Don't let outsiders know about internal fighting."
This is a group of people whose lives exist in a gray area, and the three people present are well aware of it, but such a naked rule, the only rule, still makes people a little startled.
"What do you think of Twenty Seven?" Lao Jin asked a little less.
"I feel that the temperament is different from yours, a bit gentle and elegant." Tan Yao said.
"Looking at his behavior towards Tongtong, he is quite sincere and he is also quite gracious." Xu Tingsheng added.
Lao Jin looked around, "Then did your mind suddenly turn around and think, if he is really the person you think, why should he gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou and climb to this stage at a young age?"
The three of them looked at each other. The previous process and making judgments in their minds were all natural. Even Xu Tingsheng and Xu Tingsheng were among a group of people. They had a good impression of this twenty-seven second only to Lao Jin, and felt that it was okay. close.
Brain... Without being reminded, it is true that I have never thought about this problem in reverse.
"We call him in private, ghost. He was born in a godfather's bed..."
The first sentence gave me a chill.
"Later, his godfather had a rare mine, and the mine collapsed. He married his godmother and took care of his godmother... Three years later, the two women suddenly immigrated. No more news…”
"He is perverted towards women. A woman died on his bed and was buried in a mine."
"He is also perverted to other people... It's just that not many people know about it."
"Why did he like that Tongtong? Maybe he really likes it, that kind of like... But more importantly, maybe he has already judged from your eyes that he has controlled this woman, no matter whether he is getting close to Xu Tingsheng or threatening Xu Tingsheng in the future. Useful. Was he right?"
Xu Tingsheng nodded. To him, Tongtong was a life-saving grace in a sense.
"The benefits are big enough, and the determination is big enough, so after being rejected, he can lower his posture and take his time."
The drunkenness of the three people turned into cold sweat.
"I felt a little bit sorry for Tongtong just now. I thought it was impossible for her and Tingsheng to meet such a man. I should be considered lucky. It would be a pity to miss it..." Tan Yaonuo murmured.
"One family, the Shenghai family, you do it with them." Lao Jin said to Huang Yaming.
Huang Yaming shook his head vigorously: "Are you still cooperating? A group of ghosts? Don't play, don't play."
"If you don't play with ghosts, how can you gain experience? If the price is within the controllable range, you can treat it as experience. Next, I won't give you any reminders, and I won't help you...you learn by yourself." Lao Jin said.
Huang Yaming hesitated for a while, then nodded.
"Tingsheng, take me to the hotel." Lao Jin got up and said.
Xu Tingsheng followed suit and stood up.
Lao Jin who walked to the door one step ahead suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, what do you think of me?"
What do you ask the three people present to say? He is Lao Jin, but he is also Jin twenty-four. During the entire conversation just now, he said without hesitation, "We"... one of the ghosts.
"People have ten faces. One side of me is an angry Vajra, and I am also a Bodhisattva when I raise my eyebrows. That is for my son and wife; one side is for myself, and it is what you just saw; the remaining eight faces, eight faces Yama."
…
The car is on the way to the hotel.
"Do you know why I am willing to say this to Huang Yaming?" Lao Jin suddenly asked Xu Tingsheng.
Xu Tingsheng shook his head.
"He complements your personality. He is the only person I have ever seen around you who can become a wolf or a tiger. I am afraid that his teeth will be broken before he reaches that time. By the way, I will also help you raise and tame him ... I know you won't agree with this statement, don't talk, and I don't need your consent."
The car drove for a while.
"Also, if you need it one day in the future, you can help your nephew once. Once is enough."
"good."
…
After sending off Lao Jin, Xu Tingsheng sent Tong Tong home.
The half-drunk Tongtong pointed the way, took out the key and opened the door.
A very small house, rented.
Xu Tingsheng helped him onto the bed. With a casual glance, above the bed, hanging from the ceiling, there is a small bottle of perfume... It was "wholesale" by Xu Tingsheng at a street stall in Nice.
It is hung there, where you can see it every day when you open your eyes, maybe sometimes, the sun will shine through the window, it will be very special and beautiful, as if it is not one of the ordinary dozens .
Tongtong vomited several times, Xu Tingsheng helped clean up, poured water, twisted towels.
When he went out.
"I rejected that person today, do you think it's okay?" Tongtong asked from behind.
If he hadn't heard Lao Jin's words before, Xu Tingsheng still couldn't answer this question. However, after hearing it, Xu Tingsheng felt lucky for Tongtong's previous decision due to the piercing chill.
"Okay." He blurted out.
"En." Tongtong responded.
Xu Tingsheng went out with a washbasin in his hand. He didn't know how happy the person behind him became because of the word "good".
Put everything in order and comfort Tongtong to sleep.
When Xu Tingsheng went out again...
"Are you going back?" Tongtong asked.
Xu Tingsheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "It's past four o'clock, I'll lie down on your deck chair outside for a while, and leave at dawn, call me if you have anything to do."
Tongtong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Xu Tingsheng lay on the chair, recalling what Lao Jin said that night...
Tongtong is struggling.
Maybe it was Xu Tingsheng's decision to leave room for her to imagine, maybe it was the "good" that gave her a little bit of confidence. "I don't want much... I'm drunk, I'm... wanton once..."
"But, it stinks."
The sound of the door opening, the sound of footsteps.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tingsheng turned his head and asked.
"I, I want to take a shower, my body smells bad." Tongtong lowered her head nervously and said.
"Are you okay? I mean, you're still drunk." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Okay, I woke up a lot."
"Well."
The water poured down from the top of her head, Tongtong washed very hard, she wanted to wash herself clean, at least try once... She washed for a long time, washed so hard, she used up a whole bottle of shower gel...
She washed it over and over again.
The picture of the past, starting from the director who bought it for the first time for 18,000... The hideous faces kept appearing, reminding her...
The person crouched on the ground.
"I'll never be able to wash it clean...Xu Tingsheng."
The water still kept pouring down. Therefore, it is not clear whether there are tears or not.
After all, she still didn't do anything, didn't try anything, Tongtong took a shower, got dressed, walked quietly through the living room, said hello to Xu Tingsheng, and went back to her room to sleep.
It was dawn the next day.
Xu Tingsheng bought breakfast and came back.
When the two of them were having breakfast, Xu Tingsheng asked Tongtong, "Why are you still renting the house, and I gave you the 200,000 yuan? I remember I told you that I asked you to use this money to pay the down payment and buy a house."
Tongtong hesitated for a moment, and said: "At first, I gave my parents 100,000 yuan, saying it was to build a house in my hometown. Later, when my brother came out, the family said they wanted to ask him for a wife, so they took another 60,000 yuan."
"So, the house is built? My sister-in-law has it?" Xu Tingsheng said angrily.
Tongtong shakes her head timidly.
"You can't save your salary?" Xu Tingsheng knew that Tongtong's current salary was not low, but she lived in such a small rental house. Then, her salary is definitely not all in her own hands. Her drug-addicted brother is a bottomless pit.
Tongtong dare not answer the words.
"You still have 40,000?"
"More than 30,000..."
"give me back."
Tongtong honestly took out the passbook.
Xu Tingsheng drove her out, withdrew the money in the passbook, and then went to another agency.
Let Tongtong wait in the car. When Xu Tingsheng was looking for a house with Fu Cheng, there was actually a second-hand house that was almost negotiated, but in the end because the location was far away from Fang Yunyao's work place, he gave up.
This house is very suitable for Tongtong, and there is a lot of room for appreciation.
Xu Tingsheng quickly concluded the agreement.
"Your more than 30,000 yuan, I only give you 1,000 yuan left, which is enough for you to eat before you pay your salary. I will help you make up part of the rest and pay a down payment... So, in the future, you will start to pay for the house , I only provided you with a mortgage for five years... which means that you will not have much money left every month except for the house. If you have no money, you can give it to others. "
"I… "
"Let's leave you, let's go and see your house first."
