Chapter 58 is more stubborn than me
This fight made Lu Shanmin's flesh hurt, and his heart hurt even more. Hai Donglai looked thin and tender, but the strength of his fists and feet was unexpectedly heavy, and when he returned to the rental house, he took off his torn T-shirt, and his whole body was covered with dark red marks, and he still had a faint pain. What's even more depressing is that this new T-shirt that cost 50 yuan on the side of the road was hesitant for a long time before I made up my mind to buy it painfully, and now it is completely scrapped.
After changing into the old clothes in the mountains and preparing to sleep, the sound of opening the door sounded, and Huang Mei stumbled in. Last week, Huang Mei found a job, and she heard her say that she was working as an account manager in a star-rated hotel, Lu Shanmin didn't know what kind of job an account manager was, only that since the day she went to work, she had come back almost every night with a smell of alcohol, according to her, to entertain customers.
Lu Shanmin walked towards Huang Mei and held her hand, "Sister Mei, you're drunk again."
Huang Mei was drunk, shook her head and looked at Lu Shanmin for a long time, "Hehe, Mr. Chen, come, have another drink, don't leave if you don't get drunk today."
Lu Shanmin shook his head helplessly, thinking that the owner of this hotel was too immoral, and his subordinates who tortured him so much were far worse than Lin Dahai.
For Lu Shanmin, a simple mountain man who has never held a girl's hand, there is no way to face a drunk and unconscious woman. had to help her to the door of the bedroom and wake up Zhang Li who was sleeping.
Zhang Li opened the door with sleepy eyes, and when she saw Huang Mei's appearance, she immediately frowned, during this time, Huang Mei didn't go home until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night every day, and she was very drunk, which made her very worried, and she always wanted to talk to her about whether she could change her job. However, although they sleep in the same bed, there is no intersection between the two people's schedules at all, and they have never found a chance.
Calligraphy, my grandfather often said, it is a wordless poem, an invisible dance, a pictureless painting, a silent music, indulged in it, you can enjoy a world. For Lu Shanmin, after practicing for more than ten years, looking left and right at it is just words, and he didn't see the world in his grandfather's eyes at all. It wasn't until recently, vaguely, that Lu Shanmin vaguely felt the vague meaning of his grandfather's words. When I was in the mountains, every day was the same, my heart was pale, and the words were naturally pale, and after going down the mountain, in this colorful world, my heart gradually had color, and the words naturally had a little more vitality. 'Tang Yan structure, Song Shang interest', the soul of the word, comes from the soul of the person who holds the pen.
After practicing calligraphy and playing Tai Chi, Lu Shanmin walked towards the rose bar, today Tang Fei specially invited, he must go to him to sit down. Tang Fei was discharged from the hospital for several days, and he just took over the Rose Bar, and he couldn't get out of his body, and Lu Shanmin had to go to work at night, so he could only take the daytime to go over to see him.
In the morning, the bar was empty, with only two security guards sitting at the bar and chatting.
When I arrived at the Rose Bar that night, the situation was so alarming that I didn't even notice what kind of place the bar was. This time, I really saw the appearance of the bar, the center of the hall is a dance floor covered with red carpets, surrounded by large and small tables, and the wine cabinet behind the bar counter is filled with various colors of wine, as Bai Ling described, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, various colors are matched in the wine cabinet, complementing each other, making Lu Shanmin amazed.
When the two security guards saw someone coming at the door, they hurriedly greeted them and shouted in unison: "Brother Shanmin."
Lu Shanmin was not used to this title, so he just smiled and nodded.
"Brother Shanmin, I'll take you up," one of the security guards said complimentingly.
"No need, I'll just go up myself."
Pushing the door in, Tang Fei laughed and ran over, hugging Lu Shanmin tightly. Lu Shanmin also hugged Tang Fei happily, the two had fought twice together, and they could be regarded as brothers who had experienced life and death.
"Are your injuries alright?"
Tang Fei patted his chest, "It's okay, I'm Xiaoqiang who can't be killed." As he spoke, he put his arm around Lu Shanmin's shoulders and walked to the chair of the desk, and pressed Lu Shanmin on the chair.
Tang Fei stood beside him, with a smile on his face, lowered his head and asked, "How do you feel?"
Lu Shanmin didn't quite understand what Tang Fei meant, "What's how?"
"How about sitting on it and hurrying"?
Lu Shanmin raised his buttocks, then sat down again, tried two or three times, and nodded with a smile, "It's soft and comfortable."
Tang Fei smiled, "What about other than that?"
Lu Shanmin looked at Tang Fei suspiciously. Tang Fei pointed to his chest, "What about here?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head inexplicably.
Tang Fei's eyes widened, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, "It's not just a chair, it also represents power." β
Lu Shanmin knows that Tang Fei is a very self-motivated person, but for Lu Shanmin, who grew up in the mountains, the concept of power is much weaker, in the past in the mountains, the understanding of power is limited to the branch secretary and the village chief, in Lu Shanmin's view, the power they have is more equivalent to responsibility, the empty nest elderly in the village have no one to take care of, the village secretary and the village chief take the lead in carrying water, take the lead in sending warm clothes, like Bai Ling, who can't afford to go to school and pay the tuition, the village secretary tightens his belt to raise tuition for her, and someone dares to go into the mountains to poach, they pick up sticks and drive the poachers out of the mountainγ After arriving in the East China Sea, the meaning of power changed in a complex way. Liu Qiang is a powerful person, but his power is reflected in bullying, and he can easily unload other people's hands and feet for money. The fat man is a powerful person, as long as anyone throws out a bunch of money, there are countless girls who are willing to sell their bodies, and there are people like Liu Qiang who work for him. Chen Ran is a powerful person, but he only has money in his eyes, and he even pushes himself into desperation. This is also in line with my grandfather's sentence 'The world is not divided into black and white, black and white is only in the hearts of the people', in the same way, power is not divided into good and bad, good and bad are only in the hearts of the people.
Looking at Tang Fei who was excited, Lu Shanmin smiled: "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone, Tang Fei, make good use of the power in your hands." β
Tang Fei waved his hand and smiled, "You, remind me of the Chinese teacher in elementary school, when did you become a mother-in-law, you weren't like this when you fought that day." β
Lu Shanmin smiled and said no more.
Tang Fei sat down on the desk and lit a cigarette, "Mountain people, this position should have been yours."
Without waiting for Tang Fei to continue, Lu Shanmin shook his head, "You don't have to persuade me anymore."
Tang Fei frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face, and took a deep puff of cigarette: "Mountain people, I really don't understand you, you and I are both from the mountains, why did you come to the East China Sea, it is nothing more than to win a share of glory and elegance, earn him a lot of money, and now the opportunity is in front of you, but you turn a blind eye, you tell me, what the hell is this?"
Tang Fei's anger Lu Shanmin understood very well, he regarded himself as a real friend, so he would say such a thing, hesitating whether he should say his wariness of Wang Dahu, he was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, Tang Fei was at the time of his life, not to say whether he believed what he said or not, even if he believed it, would he be willing to let go of everything he got in front of him.
"I just want to live a plain and stable life, and I don't need what you give. β
Tang Fei snorted, there was a kind of anger that hated iron and steel, "What a good one just wants to be plain and stable, such a big tone, do you think that plain and stable is falling from the sky, if you can be happy and stable, who is fucking willing to be displaced, let me tell you, people like you and me, who have nothing, are not qualified to talk about these four words at all, only those who stand at the peak of life dare to say such things."
Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Fei blankly, this is the first time he has heard the simple words of plain and stable, and there is such a saying, in the mountains before, isn't plain and stable just living your own life?
Tang Fei angrily stomped his feet back and forth in the office, "Mountain people, do you think that you can be plain and stable without fighting with the world? This is the East China Sea, not the mountains of your hometown, you want to be plain and stable, to say that it is close, has Liu Qiang made you calm and stable?
Lu Shanmin was speechless, what Tang Fei said was the truth, if you don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to you.
"Also, don't you wonder if the girl named Ruan Yu dared to continue working in the bar after experiencing all these smoky things in the bar? β
Lu Shanmin's mouth opened wide in surprise, as far as he knew, Ruan Yu went to the bar to work part-time just to earn tuition and living expenses.
"She's forced to do it."
"Hahahaha", Tang Fei burst into laughter, "I have no choice, where can't I do part-time, she is a college student, even if she goes to work part-time as a typist, she really can't hand out flyers, and if she can't do it, she can pick up garbage, why do you have to go to a bar as a wine nursery"?
Lu Shanmin was a little shocked, he and Ruan Yu just met in Pingshui, and they didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't think about these things at all.
Tang Fei snorted coldly, "Let me tell you why? The work here is easy, as long as you simply sell jokes and please you, you can earn a lot of income."
Lu Shanmin looked at Tang Fei in disbelief, very reluctant to admit that Ruan Yu was such a person, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Tang Fei smiled, "Mountain people, this is a world where people laugh at the poor and don't laugh at prostitutes, and the old rules in the mountains are outdated."
Walking out of the rose bar, Lu Shanmin's heart was like a golden boulder, which made people a little breathless. Looking back on the various events since he came out of the mountain, starting from stealing money from a child, Chen Kun's cousin cheated money and deceived the company to cheat money, Liu Qiang wanted to unload his hands and feet for money, Wang Dahu did anything for money, and he was still burdened with a huge debt of 50,000 yuan, Ruan Yu threw himself into the place of lust and lust for money, all of this turned out to be a money word to make trouble.
Tang Fei stood at the window of the office, looking at the back of Lu Shanmin leaving in the alley, and sighed helplessly, "More stubborn than me."
