The alleyway is filled with sewage and the air is filled with indescribably complex smells. The old houses on both sides are mottled and most of them have fallen white ash, and the outer walls are crawling with cobweb-like wires, and if you look closely, there are really a lot of cobwebs between the wires.

Under the dim street lamps, the crowd of people came and went, including famous farmers covered in mud, office workers in cheap suits, and children running around.

There are various small shops on both sides of the road, hairdressers, bun shops, small clinics, restaurants...... Each store is only a few square meters in size. Those small restaurants are full of smoke and miasma, there is a sound of stir-frying, and the tables and chairs are full of bright oil, which makes people lose their appetite at first glance.

Bobcat greeted the shopkeepers along the way with a smile as he walked, as if he were his acquaintance with the owners of the entire street.

Liu Yunshen was a little puzzled, with the current status of Bobcat, he was in and out of high-end office buildings and hotels, how could he be so familiar with these people.

Lynx said: "Mr. Liu, this is Minsheng West Road, it's very lively." After a pause, "With the development of Parkway New Area, it is a pity that it will be demolished."

"Mr. Gou seems to be familiar with this place."

Bobcat nodded, "You still call me Bobcat" and continued: "Shanhai Group started here."

Liu Yunshen frowned, a little unable to understand what it meant.

Bobcat smiled, "Four years ago, Brother Shanmin lived here."

Liu Yunshen sighed, his face full of disbelief.

While talking, the two walked to the door of a barbecue restaurant. Liu Yunshen subconsciously glanced up, and there was a yellowed signboard hanging on the door, 'Midnight Barbecue Restaurant'.

The lynx raised his feet and walked inside, "This is where the mountain folk used to work."

The boss was a middle-aged man in his fifties, covered in oil. Seeing the lynx walk in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Gou, long time no see."

Lynx smiled: "Uncle Hai, you can't afford to call me like that, you should call me Lynx as before."

As he spoke, he turned his head to Liu Yunshen and said, "This is Lin Dahai, the owner of this barbecue restaurant, and the former boss of Brother Shanmin."

"This is my friend."

Liu Yunshen didn't have a good impression of this oily uncle, but when he heard that it was Lu Shanmin's former boss, he had to take a second look. He has always been curious about Lu Shanmin's family history, but what he has seen and heard today is far beyond what he imagined before.

Lin Donghai smiled and waved his hand, "You are the big boss, I am a barbecuer."

"Uncle Hai, is there still a place"?

"Yes, yes, no, I have to make room for you." Lin Dahai said with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yunshen, who was wearing a famous brand, and quickly wiped the stool on the side with a rag. "You two may be seated."

Liu Yunshen looked at the oily rag in Lin Dahai's hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but seeing that the lynx naturally sat on the stool, he also sat on it stubbornly.

"How are the mountain people doing?" Lin Dahai asked.

"It's okay, it's just that I've been busy lately, and Brother Shanmin said to come and see you when he is free."

Lin Dahai laughed happily, "Count him as having a conscience."

He asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Whatever, just as much."

"Sit down for a while, and you'll be fine soon."

Liu Yunshen observed the crowd eating barbecue around him, he had never eaten in such a place again.

After sitting down, the lynx said, "Brother Shanmin said that you are a trustworthy friend, so I think I should take you here to have a look, to understand Brother Shanmin, I have to start from this lane."

Liu Yunshen had doubts in his eyes, "Lu Shanmin really started to make a fortune here."

Bobcat nodded, "Brother Shanmin used to be a barbecue guy here."

Liu Yunshen unconsciously looked at the smoking barbecue grill, and couldn't imagine Lu Shanmin standing in front of the barbecue grill to grill the barbecue. He was skeptical that the chairman of a group company would have been standing there grilling four years ago.

The barbecue and beer were quickly delivered, and the lynx took the beer and touched it with Liu Yunshen.

"Welcome to our family".

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "In addition to the MLM company, this is the first time I've heard that the company is compared to a family."

Lynx laughs, "We are a family first, a company second."

Liu Yunshen took a sip of wine and carefully tasted the words of the lynx, but he still didn't quite understand. The boss of the company pays wages and asks employees to work for him, and employees work for the boss in order to earn wages, and everyone takes what they need for the sake of profit. He didn't believe that the boss and employees in the company would really be like a family, and even if some companies proposed that all employees were one family, it was just a slogan for self-deception.

At this time, the words of the two students at the adjacent table who looked like boys attracted Liu Yunshen's attention.

The boy in a white T-shirt said proudly: "I once met Lu Shanmin, the chairman of Shanhai Group, in this barbecue restaurant."

"Really," the other asked enviously.

"Of course it's true, not only have I seen him, but I have also eaten the barbecue he grilled with his own hands."

"How is that possible?" said the other in disbelief.

"I'm telling you, he used to be a buddy at this barbecue restaurant."

"I thought he was a legend when he won the runner-up in the Collegiate Sanda League on behalf of our school, but I didn't expect him to have a barbecue here, it's incredible."

"The brothers and sisters who knew his family history back then all graduated, and I took a year off from school halfway, so I knew it clearly. Let me tell you, Lu Shanmin is actually not our senior brother in the true sense of the word."

"Ah, senior brother, there is still no distinction between truth and falsehood"?

"He wasn't admitted to the financial college at all."

"Hey, no." The man was even more surprised. "Our school is so rubbish, he can't pass the exam."

"It's not that he couldn't pass the exam, he originally only had a primary school diploma, and he came to our school by chance to audit, and was later accepted as a closed disciple by Professor Ma."

"Hey, it turns out that there is still this past. In this way, strictly speaking, he is really not our senior brother. But he's too good, those things are so hard to learn, he can learn them even if he graduated from elementary school."

"You can't look at it this way, maybe Senior Brother Lu was originally talented and intelligent, but he only went to elementary school for reasons we don't know, if he goes to junior high school and high school like us, he will definitely be able to be admitted to Tianjing University and Tsinghua University."

The man nodded, "That's true, if he was stupid, how could he create such a large group company in just a few years."

As he spoke, he asked: "Senior brother, tell me his legendary story again, I heard that Shanhai Group has to go to the financial college for campus recruitment every year, you let me know more, maybe I can enter after graduation."

The boy who was called Senior Brother blew half a bottle of beer, rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you want to talk about the legend of Senior Brother Lu, you can't finish it in one day and one night."

Another boy's eyes lit up, "Senior brother, just pick a few and tell me about them."

"Senior Brother Lu's most classic battle is to challenge more than 20 security guards single-handedly in the Rose Bar, that battle was a dark ghost crying and howling, and more than 20 security guards with steel pipes were beaten to the point that people were overturned and collapsed.

Another listened with relish and asked, "How did this battle come about?"

"It is said to be to save a woman".

"Which woman"?

The man smiled, "She is now the CEO of Shanhai Group, at that time she was just a bartender in the Rose Bar, and it is said that she was still the senior sister of our financial college."

Another person sighed, "Senior Brother Lu is really affectionate."

"It's nothing, I heard that when he was on Zhigang Avenue, he broke into a den of thieves alone and rescued a brother from a drug dealer in the rain of bullets." said with a smile: "The person rescued is also the senior brother of our financial college, and now he is the deputy general manager of Shanhai Capital, a subsidiary of Shanhai Group."

Another person sighed: "I really envy them, if I had been born a few years earlier, maybe I would have been able to follow Senior Brother Lu to break out of the world."

Liu Yunshen listened quietly to the conversation between the two and muttered, "I understand a little."

Lynx laughed, "And that's just the tip of the iceberg."

"So you are all willing to help him, even if you die."

The lynx shook his head, "If everyone dies, they won't die." Therefore, no matter how difficult it is for us, as long as Brother Shanmin is there, we believe in our hearts that we can carry it."

Liu Yunshen smiled, "One person can fight thousands of troops if he dies, and ten thousand people can die if he dies, and there is nothing difficult in the world."

Bobcat picked up the wine bottle and touched it with Liu Yunshen, "That's pretty much what it means."

The two walked out of the barbecue restaurant, and Bobcat asked, "The Rose Bar is not far ahead, do you want to go and have a look."

Liu Yunshen shook his head, "I finally understand why Bai Douwolf said that I don't know the weight of the word 'friend'."

Lynx smiled and asked, "Then you still want to be friends with us?"

Liu Yunshen looked at the dimly lit alley where the sewage flowed, and felt less disgusted than before he came.

"That's exactly what I was asking for."

"Probably dead".

"Everybody dies."

"But you are different, a rich second generation who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing, and the money and beauty come right away, so you can enjoy life."

Liu Yunshen smiled, "Big fish and big meat are delicious, but there are times when you are tired of eating, and you don't understand the suffering of the rich second generation."

The lynx laughed, "I really don't understand this."

"Then you've heard the saying that you don't know how to be blessed when you're in a state of blessing. ”

"Of course".

"That's who I am."

Bobcat smiled, pulled out his phone and clicked it a few times.

"I have already sent the information of the Meng family to your mailbox, and Meng Haoran's kid will be handed over to you."

Liu Yunshen smiled, "Is this a test for me?"

The bobcat squinted and smiled, "You've passed the test."

Liu Yunshen laughed, "Can you send me a job with a bit of technical content."
