Inside an open-air food stall on the side of the street.

After listening to Gong Xiaojun's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his head, and his face was extremely entangled: "Xiaojun, is the risk of this matter you said a little too big?"

"Dude, haven't you heard of the so-called wealth and danger?" Gong Xiaojun looked at Wang Minglang with a calm face, directly opened his handbag, took out 10,000 yuan and put it on the table, and continued to be kind and seductive: "In these days, how can there be any such thing as putting money on the ground and letting you pick it up for nothing?"

"But ......" Wang Minglang was very uncertain about what Gong Xiaojun had mentioned, but when he saw the stack of banknotes in front of him, it was difficult to take his eyes off.

"Look at these stalls on your body, they are less than a hundred yuan together, how can a young man in his twenties look like, to put it mildly, the little paper figures burned on the grave look more decent than you!" Gong Xiaojun, who had nothing in his body that was genuine, was sarcastic to Wang Minglang in a high-ranking tone at this moment.

"Okay, I'll take this job!" Wang Minglang was stung in the heart by Gong Xiaojun's words, and as soon as his mind was hot, he reached out and grabbed the 10,000 yuan on the table.

"Hey, that's right, in this year, if people don't put their minds to it, they won't make money!" Gong Xiaojun saw Wang Minglang's actions, and immediately smiled, and picked up his wine glass: "Come, let's go!"

"Knock knock!"

Wang Minglang picked up the draft beer glass in front of him, drank all the wine in the cup, and suppressed his restless mood with a cold liquid.

......

Half an hour later, Wang Minglang separated from Gong Xiaojun, took the 10,000 yuan in his hand, first went to the pedestrian street, spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy a set of sportswear that he had liked for a long time, and then went to the supermarket to buy a lot of fruits and snacks, and took a taxi back to his residence.

Wang Minglang rented a house, is a single room house converted from more than 100 square meters, divided into more than ten rooms with plywood, on average, the area of each room is only about seven or eight square meters, in addition to a double bed and a simple wardrobe, basically can not put other things, these rooms are very poor soundproofing, basically there is no privacy at all, the bathroom is also shared, in the morning, you have to queue for a long time, in case you meet a thin one, wait for an hour or two is possible.

After Wang Minglang returned to his residence, he took the fruits and snacks in his hand, stood at the door for about half a minute, and then adjusted his mood, pushed the door and walked into the room, looking at Zhu Xiaoran with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, have you eaten?"

"No, I soaked noodles, but I was always nauseous and I couldn't eat them. Wang Minglang's girlfriend Zhu Xiaoran saw him enter the door and sat up from the bed, Zhu Xiaoran was the same age as Wang Minglang, and she was a simple-looking girl.

"I bought you fruit, eat some. Wang Minglang put the fruits and snacks in his hand on the bed: "They are all what you like to eat." ”

"Oh, we don't have any money now, why are you still buying these things. Zhu Xiaoran saw the snacks on the bed and Wang Minglang's new clothes, and his face sank: "Wang Minglang, have you raised the money I need to have a baby?"

"Daughter-in-law, I'm about to tell you about it. Wang Minglang heard Zhu Xiaoran ask about this, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed: "Xiao Ran, let's not live in this place, let's move out, the environment in this place is really too bad, put a stuffy fart in this house, you can hear it in two rooms, it really doesn't look like a place where people live." ”

"Move out?" Zhu Xiaoran was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "Minglang, the two of us can live here now, and we can eat enough every day, it's not easy, move out, where do you want to move, do you know how expensive a one-bedroom house is outside? Since we don't have the ability, let's be down-to-earth, step by step, don't always be ambitious all day long, okay?"

"Don't worry, listen to me, daughter-in-law, Xiaojun is looking for me today......" Wang Minglang followed Zhu Xiaoran's words and continued to chat.

“......”

An hour later, Wang Minglang walked out of the room and dialed Gong Xiaojun's phone.

......

On the other side, after Gong Xiaojun finished talking to Wang Minglang on the phone, he walked into Sheng Jiafina, walked straight to the wine table of Wanbo and Gu Changlan, and nodded with a smile on his face: "Brother Bo." ”

"Hmm. Wan Bo saw Gong Xiaojun coming, and slapped the girl's buttocks in his arms, and after the girl understood, she immediately got up and left, leaving room for several people to talk.

"Brother Bo, it's done. After the girl at the same table left, Gong Xiaojun grinned and opened his mouth as if he were meritorious.

"Brush!"

When Gu Changlan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "What did you say?"

"Wang Minglang's side has already negotiated the matter, and he can do it at any time. Gong Xiaojun responded bluntly.

"Huh. When Wan Bo heard this, he smiled slightly, licked his lips and looked at Gu Changlan: "When to do it, you set a date." ”

"Anyway, the sooner the better. When Gu Changlan heard that the matter was done, the gloom on his face was swept away, and he picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time: "It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow night." ”

"Do you hear that?" Wan Bo turned his head to look at Gong Xiaojun.

"Brother Bo, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you. Gong Xiaojun nodded decisively.

"Smack!"

When Wan Bo heard this, he directly slapped the handbag on the table on Gong Xiaojun's chest: "Don't you know my card number, swipe 20,000 yuan by yourself, and buy whatever you like." ”

"Alright, thank you Brother Bo!" Gong Xiaojun had a bright smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, and he turned away in gratitude.

"Xiaobo, I owe you a personal favor for this matter. At this time, the matter had settled, Gu Changlan felt a lot happier in his heart, patted Wan Bo's shoulder, and showed a sincere smile.

"We've been buddies for so many years, what are you talking about, and with our identity, we want to pack up a few mud legs, what's the difference between that and digging for things. Wan Bo waved his hand without taking it seriously.

"Come, have a drink!" Gu Changlan smiled and directly picked up his glass.

......

Nothing was said all night.

The night before, Gu Changlan because his mood fluctuated too much, and he didn't drink less, so he slept until the afternoon of the next day, and when he opened his eyes, it was almost four o'clock, Gu Changlan lay on the bed in the hotel with a blank mind, and slowed down for more than ten minutes or so before he recalled the events of the previous night, and then dialed Wanbo's phone.

"Hey, buddy. On the other end of the phone, Wan Bo, who was sleeping with the girl in his arms, also answered the phone in a daze.

"Xiaobo, how did you do with the incident you said last night?" Gu Changlan asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, haven't I already told Gong Xiaojun to deal with it before. ”

"Hey, why don't we go over and have a look. Gu Changlan is still haunted by the slap he received yesterday, and he feels that he is not present, and he always feels a little angry.

"Okay, if you want to go, let's go and have a look. Wan Bo withdrew the arm that was pillowed under the girl's neck and glanced at the wall clock: "I'll get up and clean up now, and I'll pick you up." ”

......

Late, 7:40.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the barbecue restaurant has gradually become busy, and the business in the barbecue restaurant today is exceptionally good.

On the street opposite the barbecue restaurant, an inconspicuous private car stopped on the side of the road, Gu Changlan sat in the back seat, looking at the barbecue restaurant with a gloomy gaze: "Are your people all in place?"

"Brother Lan, don't worry, they will go in in more than ten minutes, hehe. Gong Xiaojun, who was in charge of driving, responded with a smile.

"You sit in peace, there must be nothing wrong with me. Wan Bo, who was sitting next to Gu Changlan, held a cigarette in his mouth and responded nonchalantly.

......

Inside the barbecue restaurant.

Wang Minglang and Zhu Xiaoran sat at a table in the corner, their eyes could not hide their nervousness, and their hearts were also uneasy.

"Daughter-in-law, come, you can taste this. Wang Minglang peeled a green shrimp and put it on the food plate in front of Zhu Xiaoran.

"I don't eat, I can't eat. Zhu Xiaoran shook his head slightly, and looked at Wang Minglang's eyes, full of apprehension and fear: "Minglang, do we have to do this?"

"Xiao Ran, since it's decided, let's not hesitate, don't worry, didn't I tell you before, when the money is in hand, the two of us will pick a small house, pay a down payment, and then the two of us will work together to pay off the mortgage slowly, and when the time is ripe, I will go to your house and mention our marriage to your parents." Wang Minglang stretched out his arm and gently held Zhu Xiaoran's hand: "Xiao Ran, you also know that I have not made much progress in recent years, and you have suffered a lot with me, but people do not suffer for a lifetime, I believe that as long as I seize this opportunity, we will definitely be able to turn over, and I will also take you to live a good life." ”

"But ......" Zhu Xiaoran still felt extremely flustered in his heart.

"Daughter-in-law, it's okay. Wang Minglang squeezed Zhu Xiaoran's hand vigorously and interrupted what she wanted to say next.

"Alas......"

Zhu Xiaoran saw Wang Minglang's firm eyes, sighed slightly, lowered his head, and sipped the straw of the sour plum soup with anxiety.

"Ding Dong!"

Half a minute later, Wang Minglang's mobile phone rang, he looked down at the information on the phone, and then turned his head slightly, at this moment on the edge of the table at the entrance of the store, there were also two young people sitting around the cup and changing the lamp, one of them glanced at Wang Minglang casually, Wang Minglang hesitated for less than three seconds, gritted his teeth and nodded, and then lowered his head and deleted the information on the mobile phone.

"Knock knock!"

The young man at the table at the door saw Wang Minglang nodding, grabbed the wine bottle on the table, and began to pour it with his neck tilted.

"Boss, check out!" Wang Minglang also shouted at the top of his voice.

"Boss, I'll settle the bill at this table!"

"Checkout!"

For a while, inside and outside the barbecue restaurant, there were at least five tables of customers, and they all began to ask for checkouts.

"Hey, it's here!" Zhang Ao, who was in charge of bookkeeping, heard the customer's shout, walked to the table with the bill, and began to settle the account and return the wine.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go!" After Wang Minglang paid for the meal, he got up on the table and walked side by side with Zhu Xiaoran to the outside of the barbecue restaurant.
