Chapter 1 The Beggar Liu Shengyu
"Another chicken thigh...... and a portion of the elbow. β
At eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Shengyu was still dreaming.
He leaned against the door of a storefront, saliva at the corner of his mouth, and a snort from time to time.
Unfortunately, the good dream didn't last long, and with the sound of the deadbolt turning, the door of the store he was leaning against was suddenly opened from the inside.
Liu Shengyu was in a daze, and suddenly fell to the ground.
The intimate contact between his head and the ground quickly woke him up, but the scenery that appeared in front of him immediately made him feel completely stunned.
It was a beige floral dress, and the owner of the skirt stepped on a pair of high heels, one foot between Liu Shengyu's arms, and the other foot behind his head.
In this way, the beautiful scenery under the skirt suddenly filled his sight.
Pink?
He thought that his heart was crawling like a rat, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The woman who opened the door was unusually delicate, with a small nose, red lips, and a goose egg face, combined with medium-length hair, which immediately gave people the feeling of a fairy in a painting.
She also found Liu Shengyu under her, probably because she realized that the shape of the two was too embarrassing, her face turned red, her little feet shrank back, and she hurriedly retreated into the house.
"You, what are you doing outside my store?"
Chen Jieyu, that is, this woman in a long skirt, she looked at Liu Shengyu in front of her, and saw that he was gray-faced, dressed in tatters, holding a small flower pot in his hand, overgrown with weeds, and a small green insect lying on the branches and leaves, she inevitably regarded him as a beggar asking for food.
Liu Shengyu hurriedly got up from the ground, Chen Jieyu's youthful and beautiful face made him so happy, and he couldn't help but think to himself: I knew that the woman under the mountain was so beautiful, and the ghost and the old man squatted on it for so many years!
For a moment, his eyes were a little straight.
Chen Jieyu didn't know what Liu Shengyu was thinking, she thought that the man in front of her was so hungry that her brain was wooden, and when she saw him pitiful, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but say: "Are you hungry?" If you stay any longer, I won't be able to open my door for business. β
Not to mention, she pointed to the steaming buns on the table and said this, Liu Shengyu really felt a little hungry.
In fact, although he is not a beggar, he has lived a life not far from a beggar in the past few days - when he went down the mountain before, his old man gave him a thousand instructions to take care of this pot of grass, and only gave him two hundred yuan to entangle, in this society, what is enough for this money?
Liu Shengyu came down from the mountain, and before he arrived in Xijiang City, he had already spent all the two hundred yuan, and he was so hungry that he even began to think about where to put his strength into some food.
Therefore, he didn't care about being polite, and when he walked into the store, he came out with two steamed buns, and while eating, he said: "Beauty, do you want someone to help? I'm very capable, as long as I take care of food and housing, I can do anything, and if you pay a salary, you can just give 8,000 yuan." β
Chen Jieyu was angry when she heard this, and thought that Liu Shengyu was ridiculing herself, so she said angrily: "No need, you can take the bun and leave quickly!"
Liu Shengyu didn't understand why she suddenly lost her temper, shrugged her shoulders, and was about to leave, but suddenly there was an unusually smug mocking voice next to her.
"Tsk, I said Boss Chen, you can't live anymore, and you still have spare money to help beggars? Should I say that you are a bodhisattva, or do you have no brains? Hahaha. β
As the voice sounded, a fat man with a big belly and a face as fat as a noodle bowl walked over.
He held a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be gentle, but his face was full of sarcasm.
Liu Shengyu glanced at the bun in his hand and decided to help others say something, so he said: "What nonsense, do you know that I am eating a working meal? Where did you come from, don't disturb our boss doing business." β
"Yo, fresh. The fat man sneered: "This is using a beggar as an employee, Lao Tzu is the first time to see it in the jewelry industry, okay, Boss Chen, what about pulling people to fill the faΓ§ade?"
Liu Shengyu looked back and found that Chen Jieyu seemed to be extremely disgusted with this fat man, frowning and saying coldly: "Boss Ma, there is no Tao at the end of this month, if you come to collect the debt, I'm afraid it's early." β
"Hehe, I'm here to remind you kindly, do you know?" The fat man shook the folding fan, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I keep all the notes, if you can't take out four million when the time comes, this store will belong to me." β
Chen Jieyu's face was angry when she heard this, and the little hand that was grasping the doorknob suddenly turned white because of the force.
What the fat man said is not false, in fact, when Chen Jieyu and her brother Zhang Luo left their grandfather in the jade shop a while ago, although they couldn't make a lot of money because of the small scale, they could barely maintain the status quo.
But the good times didn't last long, a few months ago, her brother Chen Ruisheng was put on the side by the fat man, and in order to gamble on a rough stone with 600,000 windows on all sides, he borrowed 200,000 usury.
As a result, when the stone arrived, I found that I had been fooled, and it was all solid, with a thin layer of jade on the outside, and almost nothing on the inside!
The family was not too wealthy, Chen Ruisheng was sad, and borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, but on the way home in the middle of the night when he was drunk, he actually rushed into the lake with a car.
This fat man is also insidious, he didn't say anything about the usury contract at first, and after three months, the 200,000 yuan of interest owed became 4 million, he came to the door in the morning and asked Chen Jieyu to repay the money.
Of course, Chen Jieyu didn't agree, and directly chose to call the police.
However, after the police came, they learned what had happened, and saw that the terms written in black and white on the contract did not violate the law, and there were Chen Ruisheng's autograph and handprint on it, so they asked them to settle the dispute privately on the grounds that the private loan dispute could not be handled.
Seeing that the repayment date was approaching at the end of the month four days later, Chen Jieyu was in a hurry, and she didn't think about tea and dinner, lest her grandfather's store would lose in her own hands, and she would have no face to see her family when she died in the future.
After Ma Fatzi finished speaking, he saw Chen Jieyu's face pale, and he was proud, and he was speechless for a while: "I said Boss Chen, you will definitely not be able to make four million by then, but well, hehe, I see that your appearance is acceptable, when the time comes, I will be a good person, arrange the way for you, and if you go out to sit on the stage, it will be at least tens of thousands of dollars a night, so that the money will be repaid quickly, right?"
Chen Jieyu was so angry that her face turned pale, and her lips began to tremble.
Liu Shengyu was a little overwhelmed on the side, saw the broom next to him, bit the bun two or three times, grabbed it and swept the floor, but in fact, he rubbed it on the fat man's body; β
Having said that, his broom never left the fat man's clothes, and soon, his coat, which had been quite decent, suddenly became black and wrinkled.
The fat man was so angry that he wanted to make a move but found that he couldn't get around the circle of the broom, his face changed for a while, and he glanced at Liu Shengyu viciously, but he still brushed his sleeves away.
"Okay, Boss Chen, you're looking for a good employee! Wait, there are still four days! I see if you can be so proud of me!"
β...... Thank you, sir. Seeing that the fat man had finally left, Chen Jieyu was grateful, glanced at Liu Shengyu and said, "By the way, have you eaten enough?" Look, I really want to do business." β
She seemed embarrassed to drive Liu Shengyu away, after all, people had helped her, so in the middle of her words, her voice lowered.
Liu Shengyu glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "I can't leave yet, my master said, the grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring, and I have to repay you for the kindness of this meal." β
As he spoke, he put down the broom, and his face turned straight: "Don't worry, I heard that you have some debts, right? I'll take care of it for you." β
When Chen Jieyu heard this, she said angrily: "Sir, you can get 8,000 yuan a month, I can't afford it, you are so big, it is better to find another high." β
"What, you don't believe me?" Liu Shengyu heard the taste, and without saying a word, he directly pulled off the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck and put it in her hand: "I will mortgage this thing to you, you lend me some capital, and I will help you turn it over, how about it?"
Chen Jieyu was about to speak, but she looked down at the thing in her hand, but she stood on the spot all of a sudden, as if she had seen a ghost, and stammered: "You, how can you have such a good ice spirit......?" Why are you still ......?"
She wanted to ask Liu Shengyu why he could live like this with something worth millions, but he didn't look like a psychopath, thinking that maybe there was something unspeakable about others. So I didn't ask any more.
This is not an exaggeration, this pendant looks unique, the phoenix dragon is constant, but in the middle is a hollow carved out of the inner inlay beads, with this kind of carving technology that does not destroy the structure of the gemstone, it is not something that an idler can do.
But the thing is paper money, but Chen Jieyu can't accept it.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Now the liquidity in the store is only about 100,000 yuan, and I can't mortgage your jade pendant...... In fact, although I didn't want to be soft in front of the fat man just now, so I said that I could pay back the money, but I didn't have any confidence in my heart, maybe...... At the end of the month, I am afraid that I can only mortgage the store to him. β
"100,000 is 100,000, anyway, the money is yours, it doesn't matter how much. Liu Shengyu nodded with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, beauty, with me and Xiaocui, it will not be three days at the latest, and the situation will definitely be reversed and you will be able to pay back the money." β
"Xiaocui?" Chen Jieyu listened to it, looked left and right, and wondered: "Who is Xiaocui?"
Liu Shengyu handed the flower pot in his arms forward, pointed to the green flying insect napping in the grass on it, and said, "Now, that's it." β
The little insect seemed to know that Liu Shengyu was talking about it, and moved the tentacles on his head, as if he was greeting Chen Jieyu.
Chen Jieyu's face showed astonishment, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Liu Shengyu grinned, hugged his arms and said, "Okay, don't think about it, just be ready to thank me when the time comes." β
Chen Jieyu probably didn't have much hope at the moment, she was stunned when she heard this, and actually half-jokingly: "Okay! As long as you can help me tide over the difficulties and keep the shop handed down by my grandfather, even if you let me make a personal promise, I will agree!"
