Chapter Forty-Six: Life Is Like a Play

The old place is a place.

Of course, there is no place that would be called an old place.

Lianxiang Building.

A tea room with a history of more than 100 years in Shen Jiannan's eyes.

Like most teahouses in Hong Kong, this teahouse has a nice name, but it is not romantic, neither luxurious nor trendy, but it is good in terms of dim sum, refreshing tea, and well-known in the streets.

In the past, Shen Jiannan often came here to drink tea, and for him, this place could indeed be called an old place.

In the hall on the first floor of the Lianxiang Building, Shen Jiannan was sipping refreshments alone around a table.

The dim sum that is not delicate but has a good taste, and the sweet and refreshing tea can be said to be not much different from the taste of the later ones.

Around, there are also a lot of people sitting scattered in the guest seats.

There are both suits and leather shoes and Tang cloth clothes, and people from different backgrounds and identities sit together, as if they are reflecting the rivers and lakes of Hong Kong.

I don't know if it's because the dim sum is too delicious or the tea is too intoxicating, Shen Jiannan, who is sitting in the corner, has a feeling of drunken tea.

The eldest brothers in the rivers and lakes in the play are all masters of the tea ceremony, and they decide to kill between the teas, family feuds, old hatreds, and children's love, and there is always a way to draw out in a cup of tea.

People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and once they fall close to this dreamlike glass city, a few people can see themselves from these light and shadow refractions.

He didn't want to calculate Peng San.

But in this bastard's nineties, he couldn't help himself either.

As everyone knows, Hong Kong around 97 was two worlds, and Hong Kong under colonization was two worlds by day and night.

Later, no matter what kind of community in Hong Kong day or night, no one dared to collect land openly, but now Hong Kong's collection of protection fees is as compliant as the collection of taxes by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

It's a bastard age.

The fist is greater than the axioms, and the sword and gun are greater than the law.

If there is no reliable person to help you behind your back, I am afraid that if you are fat, you can only be slaughtered by others.

"What a fucking era!"

Half a pot of tea and half a pot of dim sum.

That is, after half an hour's work, Shen Jiannan sighed that the person who should have come came.

As soon as he entered the door, Peng San rushed to Shen Jiannan's table. Without waiting for a greeting, he grabbed the pastry on the table like a starving ghost and stuffed it into his mouth.

The pastry was huge, half a fist in size.

Peng San was immediately choked to death, he quickly grabbed the kettle on the table and poured it violently.

At this moment, Shen Jiannan kicked Peng San's leg, and the defenseless Peng San was immediately choked by the kick.

"Ahem, ahem, what are you kicking me for. ”

Shen Jiannan's face was not very good-looking.

On Peng San's arm, there was a bandage wrapped in gauze.

Shen Jiannan lowered his voice and scolded.

"What the hell did you do. If I don't say it's right to you, I'll run ......away."

"It's fine. A little bit of a bruise. ”

"Come out with me. ”

Peng San subconsciously lowered his head, and he could see that Shen Jiannan was really angry.

“......”

After settling the tea money, the two went out before and after, and walked to a sparsely populated place Shen Jiannan asked with a straight face.

"What's going on. ”

"...... the other day"

Peng San told the events of the previous few days as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and then the thief took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"Dangdang. You see. ”

Tied into a bundle of banknotes, with a face value of one thousand.

Three full ties.

30,000 pieces.

This is the extra medical expenses that Peng San gave Lian Kun after helping Yun Kee win the territory of Sheung Wan.

Looking at Peng San, who was excited, Shen Jiannan suddenly became angry, and he kicked over and scolded.

"That's it, isn't it? 30,000 yuan, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey, and 30,000 yuan will go up to do it, what if you are hacked to death?"

The excited Peng San was like being poured cold water.

He retorted with a dark face.

"You didn't let me out and mess around. ”

"You're going to be mad at me, aren't you? What did I tell you? When you see something wrong, you run. What do you want to memorize all the way? Just let you run away if you can't beat it, and you will sell your life for 30,000 yuan, and your life is so worthless?"

"Anyway, if you don't die, it's 30,000 yuan for two knives, if you put it in your hometown, believe it or not, thousands of people lined up to grab it. ”

"Peng San, do you want to rebel? What did I tell you the other day?"

"Jian'an, I know you're worried about my safety. ”

"It's good that you know. ”

"But I really want to be a person, I'm not as good-looking and brainy as you. You also said, if I don't have money, I will definitely not have a woman, and I am not young, my father wants to hold his grandson... I ......"

Listening to Peng San's lower and lower voice, Shen Jiannan's eyes kept flickering.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Knowing that Peng San was slashed twice, Shen Jiannan didn't know if he was really worried about Peng San's safety.

Silent.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Jiannan took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Peng San.

"Rub Rub Rub".

The lighter lit up in the dim light, and I lit a cigarette and took a puff, and the feeling of nicotine entering my body made people dizzy.

Peng San didn't say anything more, he stood silently beside Shen Jiannan and smoked a cigarette silently.

The fireworks flickered on and off as he inhaled, and he spit out the last puff of smoke, Shen Jiannan said in a deep voice.

"Old Peng. Do you really want to keep messing around?"

"Hmm. ”

Shen Jiannan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He had already seen that Peng San was very suitable for the underworld, but now that Peng San had really become a troubled boy, he was not happy at all.

What is Crazy Boy.

It's a gangster.

The most unpromising profession.

If you mix well, you will contribute to the police uncle, and if you don't mix well, you will contribute to the police uncle.

In summary, there is a dead end.

But on the contrary, Peng San is obviously trying to go all the way to the dark now.

This is not in line with Shen Jiannan's original intention.

No matter what, the two came out together, and Peng San really regarded him as a brother.

"Old Peng. The side door has a partial word, which means that it can't be on the table after all. While it's true that money is quick, it's always a petty thing. ”

"But ......"

"Listen to me. ”

“......”

"Let's talk about Hong Kong without talking about any other place, who are the richest people in Hong Kong? It's Li Zhencheng, it's Huo Dong, it's Guo Bingnan, the bosses of those associations hang their heads on their waists and work desperately, why aren't these people rich? Because people are following the right path, and the underworld can be used as a means but absolutely not as an end. ”

In the dark night, Peng San's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Besides. In a few years, it will be 97, and when Hong Kong returns to the motherland, how far do you think you can go on this road? Don't tell me that you have forgotten what it was like before. ”

This time, Peng San shuddered.

How could he forget.

That year, he was in his first year of high school.

"It's not easy for people to live for a lifetime, we can watch it with more money, but some things can't be too much, otherwise if they are liquidated in the future, do you think you can run away?"

"Isn't that a mix?"

"Mix or mix, if you don't mix, we won't be able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. I mean, leave a bottom line, don't get involved in drugs and coercing people to go out and sell them. ”

"I didn't ......"

"I know you haven't thought about touching these now, but in the rivers and lakes, there are some things that you can't control. So I mean, don't touch these harmful things. ”

“......”

"Do you know why I called you today?"

"Huh?"

"When the stock market opens next Monday, I will let Lu Shu close his position and withdraw money. ”

Although Peng San is often scolded for having developed limbs and being simple-minded, he is certainly not a fool if he can teach, he immediately asked rhetorically.

"Are you afraid that he will regret it?"

Of course, Shen Jiannan is not just worried about Lu Shu's remorse.

There was a time when he wanted to get rid of Lu Shu and go to the trading center to fool richer people to invest, but in the end, he had to give up.

In Hong Kong, a place colonized by ghosts, the rich people now are not fuel-efficient lamps.

If you lose money, you won't let him go, and if you make too much money, you won't let him go.

The human heart is sinister, and he has to be on guard.

On the contrary, Lu Shu, who came from the mainland, has a shallow background in Hong Kong, and millions of assets are actually a petty bourgeois level, so it is enough to have Peng San in any tricks you really want to play.

Shen Jiannan wasn't going to tell Peng San these words, he said casually.

"Be prepared. Hundreds of thousands, whoever wants to give it up will make people feel distressed. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Peng San, who was smoking, almost didn't choke to death, he couldn't believe it.

"How much?"

"Not much, 600,000 at the close of trading on Friday. ”

“......”

......
