Chapter 4: The Enigmatic Man
Liu Chen agreed to join the Starlight Bar so readily, which surprised Ji Linyuan a little, he didn't even talk about the most basic salary. In fact, Liu Chen didn't care about this, he just wanted to find a place to settle down and settle down in Jiangxia City.
But Ji Linyuan still gave him a reasonable salary, 4,000 yuan a month, excluding commissions, paying five insurances and one housing fund, working eight hours a day, weekends, paid leave on statutory holidays, and holiday benefits.
This salary is very high, only a few old employees have such treatment, Liu Chen is also very surprised, after all, he has just joined, one has no experience and two qualifications, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with other colleagues, politely refused: "I just came, such a high salary is probably not suitable, other colleagues will ...... in the future"
Ji Linyuan understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, my employees are not such cautious people, they have seen your ability, and there will be no gossip, besides, I believe that your ability is definitely far beyond this treatment." ”
Seeing that Ji Linyuan looked up to himself so much, Liu Chen no longer shirked: "Okay, thank you for your love." ”
The Longjing in the cup exudes a faint fragrance, Liu picked up the cup and took a sip gently: "Yes, this Longjing tea is full of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, not only tastes good, but also is very beneficial to the body, with refreshing thoughts, inhibiting cancer and bacteria, reducing the persecution of tobacco and alcohol, etc., it is worthy of being the best in tea!"
Liu Chen's tea tasting theory shocked Ji Linyuan, "You seem to have studied the tea ceremony very well!" she exclaimed.
Liu Chen smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, just know a little about the skin." By the way, how is your brother doing?"
Ji Linyuan stroked his hair back, and his face became a little solemn: "Xiaoru called me just now, but fortunately, it was only some skin trauma, and it didn't hurt the internal organs, and the situation has stabilized." ”
"Alright, let's go see him in the hospital now. After speaking, she got up and was about to walk out the door, Ji Linyuan felt that Liu Chen seemed to care about her brother more than herself, and she was both moved and puzzled in her heart, but she still quickly got up and followed Liu Chen.
The hospital is not far away, 10 minutes away, Ji Linyuan drove her red Maliu to the hospital with Liu Chen and Xiaoru, and the two young men were waiting for their arrival at the door of the ward.
"Sister Ji, you are here, Brother Xiao Zhi is resting inside. A boy in his early twenties stepped forward and said.
Ji Linyuan nodded at him, walked to the door of the ward, and saw through the window that his younger brother was wearing a thick bandage on his head, and his body was wrapped several times, and he was lying on the hospital bed staring at the ceiling.
Mom and Dad divorced when their sister and brother were teenagers, but they were sentenced to their mother, and their younger brother was sentenced to Dad, and the siblings, who have been inseparable since childhood, were forced to separate.
Later, Ji Linyuan came out alone to work hard and start a business, and after many years, he finally improved, and it happened that his younger brother was unemployed at home after retiring from the army, so Ji Linyuan asked his younger brother to work in his bar, and Ji Zhiyuan agreed without thinking about it. As an older sister, Ji Linyuan takes good care of his younger brother, and his younger brother also does his best for his sister's bar. I didn't expect my younger brother to be hurt so much this time, how could I not let my sister worry and feel distressed.
She blinked, suppressed her tears, adjusted her emotions, pushed the door and walked in, and Liu Chen and a few others followed.
"Sister, you're here. Seeing his sister come in, Ji Zhiyuan quickly got up and sat up, seeing that he was so weak, Ji Linyuan stepped forward and asked him to lie down.
"Don't get up, you lie down and rest, don't let the wound crack again, the doctor said that you are just a skin injury, just rest for a while. As he spoke, he covered his quilt.
Ji Zhiyuan blamed himself and apologized to his sister: "Sister, it's me who didn't take a good look at it, let such a bad thing happen to our bar, I'm afraid it will affect the business of the bar, it's not good for me." ”
Ji Linyuan hurriedly comforted: "Silly boy, this is not something you can control, people are clearly here to do things, it's okay, you don't have to worry about the things in the bar, my sister will take care of it, you just need to take care of your injuries." ”
Ji Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude to the colleagues who came to visit, and suddenly his eyes stayed on Liu Chen's body.
"Who is this?"
Ji Linyuan glanced at Liu Chen and said with a smile: "This is our newly recruited employee, his name is Liu Chen, fortunately, he helped solve the matter of the bar this time." ”
Liu Chen stepped forward at the right time and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Chen, and we will be colleagues in the future." ”
Ji Zhiyuan stretched out his bandaged hand and held Liu Chen's hand: "Hello, my name is Ji Zhiyuan, thank you for this incident." ”
"It's a trivial matter, hehe, are you good, have you been a soldier before?" Liu Chen saw that the young Ji Zhiyuan had a row of thick cocoons on his hands, which should have been formed after years of hard training in the army, so he asked casually.
This was really said by Liu Chen, Ji Zhiyuan said ashamedly: "Well, I have been a soldier for four years, but it's a pity that I didn't study hard in the army, otherwise I would definitely make those bastards look good today." Saying that, he smashed his fist on the bed, and it could be seen that he was very unwilling, but this move frightened Ji Linyuan, and he hurriedly blamed him: "Your hand is still injured, don't move!"
A girl in the back suddenly said: "Brother Xiao Zhi, with Brother Liu Chen here in the future, I will definitely be able to help you take revenge." ”
"Yes, yes, you didn't see Brother Liu Chen's neat skills at that time, and he subdued that group of people in a few clicks, it's so handsome!" said another boy in a coaxing voice.
Seeing that several of them imitated each stroke, his sister also smiled on the side, Ji Zhiyuan believed that what they said must be true, and he asked Liu Chen: "Brother Liu Chen, you won't also be a soldier, right?"
A person who has been a soldier has a special intuition that can easily judge whether a person has been a soldier or not, because the temperament he exudes, as well as some fighting habits, are not something that ordinary people can have.
Liu Chen was embarrassed by the praise of several of them, and said modestly: "I used to be a soldier for a while, and I learned a few times, hehe, it's not as exaggerated as they say." ”
In fact, Liu Chen deliberately concealed his experience, he kept his past experience strictly secret, and the actions he participated in with his master were far from being comparable to being a soldier. He can be said to be a tiger who has truly grown out of the blood of artillery fire!
Ji Zhiyuan seemed to have found a confidant, he was so excited that he had to talk to Liu Chen, and he even wanted to get up from bed.
Liu Chen looked at his excited appearance, made Ji Linyuan anxious, went up to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "With your current appearance, I can you with my eyes closed, you still take care of your injuries, and we will learn again when you are fully recovered." ”
Ji Zhiyuan nodded awkwardly, and obediently got into the bed, everyone felt a strange, the person who usually only listens to his sister's words, this time he is so honest in front of a person who meets for the first time, maybe this person who has been a soldier makes him feel like a soldier in the army.
Several other people stayed to accompany Ji Zhiyuan, Ji Linyuan pulled Liu Chen out of the ward, and the two came to the corridor. Liu Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, and was about to take the lighter, when Ji Linyuan on the side stopped him: "This is a hospital, you can't smoke." ”
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, his thoughts returned to the southbound train, Li Rongfei also said such a sentence to him, he came back to his senses, put away his cigarette embarrassedly, and laughed a few times.
Ji Linyuan crossed his hands on his chest, his brows were tightly locked, as if he had something on his mind, Liu Chen thought for a while and asked, "Are you thinking about the group today?"
"Well, do you think that Liang Shaoxi will really send money over tomorrow?"
Liu Chen looked at Ji Linyuan, who was full of sorrow, but said confidently: "As long as that Liang Shaoxi is a smart person, he will definitely send a lot of money." ”
Ji Linyuan couldn't guess where Liu Chen's confidence came from, "Why are you so sure that he will send the money? What if he calls the police?"
"Call the police? Hehe, with the gun in his hand, he will never call the police. Liu Chen said disdainfully.
In ordinary public security incidents, fights and brawls are nothing, but once a gun appears, then the public security incident will rise to a criminal case, forgive him No matter how bold Liang Shaoxi is, he will not dare to poke this matter out, Liu Chen is sure that he will not break his promise.
Liu Chen continued: "Let's take a step back and say, even if he doesn't send the money, I will find him, don't worry, I will definitely help him get back your brother's justice." ”
Ji Linyuan has been mixed in society for so many years, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ruffians and hooligans, she has seen all kinds of men, but the man in front of her makes her unable to see through it, it seems that this man has a huge story hidden in him.
"I always have a question in my heart that I want to ask you, I don't know if to ask?" Ji Linyuan and Liu Chen sat on the benches in the corridor and chatted with each other.
Liu Chen replied briskly: "Just ask, it's okay." ”
Ji Linyuan clasped his hands tightly, hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "Why are you so concerned about my brother......'s affairs?" ”
Liu Chen saw that she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hand, her face flushed, and she couldn't help laughing: "I understand what you mean, and I know what you want to ask, I'll tell you directly, I'm not doing this for your brother, but for you." ”
Liu Chen stopped and glanced at Ji Linyuan's reaction, only to see that her face was even redder, revealing a charming shyness.
"Because I have a request from you. Liu Chen continued to speak, this sentence made Ji Linyuan's expression change from shy to surprised, "Do you have a request for me?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Ji Linyuan eagerly wanted to know Liu Chen's purpose.
Liu Chen didn't answer positively, got up and said, "When your brother's affairs are dealt with, I will naturally come to tell you, it's not too early, I should go back, you take care of your brother." ”
After walking a few steps, Liu Chen turned around and said with a smile: "I will come to work on time tomorrow morning, remember to greet me!"
"Okay, definitely!" Watching Liu Chen, who was smiling evilly, gradually walk out of her sight, Ji Linyuan suddenly felt that the more he wanted to understand this man, the more he felt that he was a huge mystery.
