Chapter 359: Those Years
Xu Fengchen stared coldly, "What do you want to say?"
Chu Xiaohong waited until her breathing was normal, stood up against the wall and said, "I don't want to die." ”
"And then. ”
"Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do. She said.
Xu Fengchen was suspicious: "Can I believe your words?"
"I don't want to die. She repeated this sentence and quickly added: "Although I haven't heard what Xu Fengchen's three words represent, I will learn from various channels, presumably, after knowing enough, I will become a loyal of yours." ”
In order to live, he did not hesitate to sell everything he had, this is Chu Xiaohong, and it is also her true face that can be investigated in intelligence, Xu Fengchen can be regarded as having seen it, in fact, Xu Fengchen forced Chu Xiaohong to die, making her discard her high-sounding coat and expose the lice under her luxurious clothes.
"Forget it, I don't want a like you. Xu Fengchen sneered, "However, I need a competent dogleg." ”
Chu Xiaohong's face did not change at all, she had heard too many insulting words, otherwise, how could she, a rural girl who graduated from elementary school, fight to reach her current status?
When I was a child, I ate pancakes that were ground into flour and then spread, the water from the rice tank was poured out and boiled for dinner, and in winter, in order to fill her stomach, the whole family went to the rich village to beg, she saw the people who froze to death on the side of the road when she was young, as if she was asleep, she couldn't wake up no matter how she shouted, the best days to live were spring and summer, there were many living animals, and whether it was a mouse or a house finch caught was a dish, the taste of mouse meat still occasionally churned on Chu Xiaohong's taste buds so far, every moment, she had to run into the bathroom and vomit once or twice.
The poor village where she lives is not next to the mountains or the river, she can only try her best to live, there are some things, she doesn't dare to think or say, several female classmates in primary school, she has never seen them again, the parents of those female classmates have survived the most difficult years, holding their male babies and grinning to Chu Xiaohong to explain their whereabouts: I don't know, give it away, it's too difficult, don't give it to rich relatives, there are many mouths in the family, no one can live.
But Chu Xiaohong had clearly heard that in those days, the aroma of cooking meat in these people's homes almost permeated half of the village. She couldn't stand her gluttony, and asked her father, who was yellow-faced and thin-skinned, why did people have meat to eat? Unexpectedly, her father and mother immediately burst into tears, and after a long time, she said slowly: People are diligent, and they went to the mountains of one hundred and eighty miles to hunt, and they cooked meat from hunting.
On this day, Chu Xiaohong, who wanted to eat meat, kept walking around the house, squatting in front of a mouse hole for half a day, and when the rat that was almost out of meat came out, she pounced on it like a hungry wolf.
Chu Xiaohong nodded, "Okay, then I'm your Xu Fengchen's dog, it's snowing outside, let's come and sit in the bar." ”
She stooped down to pick up the high-imitation pistol, wiped it, and pinned it behind her waist.
Xu Fengchen opened the iron door and walked in first.
Chu Xiaohong Then, she looked at Xu Fengchen's back and knew that this was a big man who she couldn't win no matter what.
Although she has experienced a lot of hardships, compared to Xu Fengchen's wrist, Chu Xiaohong knows that she is far behind, but she also knows very well that her only advantage is that she is thick-skinned and hard-working, which is cultivated by the hardships of her childhood and the subsequent adventures in the metropolis.
Xu Fengchen shook off the snow on his body, stomped his feet, the soles of his shoes were covered with snow, and then walked to the bar.
Sitting in the original positions of Lian Sheng and Han Mao, he watched Chu Xiaohong sit opposite unnaturally.
"Waiter!" she shouted, "take out the good wine I've been hiding, and bring me a clean glass." ”
When the wine and wine glasses were in place, Chu Xiaohong respectfully poured a full glass for Xu Fengchen before Xu Fengchen spoke, "I want to hear what you can do!"
After hearing this, Chu Xiaohong poured herself a drink and said: "Mr. Xu, you see that I only have such a small bar, although I am still engaged in the business of bustards part-time, but I don't have my own power at all, if I have my own masters of the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to know Lian Sheng and Han Mao, and it is impossible for the two of them to represent Wanjia to come and grab my bar shares." ”
"Oh, we only know that the two of them went to Wanjia to see Wan Jiuxiang, but we didn't know that Wan Jiuxiang didn't even let go of a bar. Xu Fengchen said, "It is not easy for Wan Jiuxiang to inherit the ten thousand families. ”
Chu Xiaohong wanted to smile and make herself more kind, but she didn't laugh after all, the back street was really frightened by Xu Fengchen, that feeling of life and death had not been even in the past several dangers, only when she was a child and was about to starve to death in the village, Chu Xiaohong experienced the great horror of death approaching step by step.
"How can there be, Mr. Xu, my share of the Little Lotus Bar is not worth anything at all in Wan Jiuxiang's eyes, he is for me to take the girls of Wanjia. Chu Xiaohong explained, in her words, she restrained herself and replaced the word prostitute with a girl.
Xu Fengchen was slightly surprised, "Wan Jiuxiang will still make this kind of money?"
"But no, he attracted fifty or sixty beauties from Eastern Europe, all of whom were young chicks, and wanted to use this to build an industrial chain in Tianjin. Chu Xiaohong said, "We, we have been in this industry for a few years and have achieved something, Wan Jiuxiang chose me to be their leader, responsible for training according to the preferences of various high-class guests." ”
Xu Fengchen judged the truth of Chu Xiaohong's words, at first glance, he actually believed seventy or eighty percent, this kind of thing Wan Jiuxiang, the old man, is really capable, This kind of industrial chain can not only please the big people in Tianjin, but also a profitable business, if the Wan family wants to return to the status of the clan in the hands of Wan Jiuxiang, first earn enough money and then say, with money, with the previous influence, I am not afraid that there will be no masters of the rivers and lakes to defect.
"You agreed?"
"It's still in the stage of discussion, isn't it, just let Lian Sheng and Han Mao come?Some time ago, I had an intersection with them and sent them the top cards to play, and I also know that the two of them are masters of the rivers and lakes, Wan Jiuxiang still has the intention of letting them come to deter me, right?" Chu Xiaohong said helplessly.
After saying a few more words to Xu Fengchen, she didn't feel Fang Cai's murderous aura from him, and her mood calmed down a little.
Xu Fengchen nodded, took a sip of wine and tasted it, "What wine?"
"A local tyrant friend brought it back when he went abroad, and he made a deal with him and gave it to me, I heard that it was made by a brewing master in Belgium. Chu Xiaohong explained.
Xu Fengchen took a sip, this wine is still quite spicy, but it is sweet in the mouth, the degree is about forty degrees, and the spirit is shocked when he drinks it, and the breath he exhales is cold, and it seems that mint is added to it.
"Yes, I've never tasted it. ”
"If Mr. Xu is interested, when he will leave, he will take it away. ”
Xu Fengchen smiled and looked at Chu Xiaohong, "How old are you this year?"
Chu Xiaohong thought about it carefully, "I even forgot my birthday, and my father and mother don't remember it, I should be in my thirties this year, thirty-three or thirty-two, or am I only thirty?"
"You've experienced a lot of suffering, haven't you?" asked Xu Fengchen.
Chu Xiaohong lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I don't feel bitter, I just feel that life is too ups and downs, Mr. Xu may not know, I was married in the countryside, ten years ago, I couldn't stand the lazy husband who was not pregnant, so I simply bought him a bottle of liquor, fried a few dishes, made him drunk, and ran out overnight, I ...... I ran while crying, in the direction of the county in my impression, kept running, and then bought a ticket, oh, at that time to buy a ticket did not need an ID card, hehe, in fact, I didn't even have an ID card, I only made up when I arrived in Tianjin, it is considered a black household, a few years ago I felt that I had made money, so I went back to the village, many people did not know me, and asked me if I was here to travel? The village has undergone earth-shaking changes, the infrastructure has been built a lot, and the local temple has also built a cultural square...... I smiled and waved my hand and didn't speak, there was nothing to say, who would have thought that when I saw my father, they didn't know me anymore, I said I was Chu Xiaohong, my father beat me out with a stick, and scolded, he didn't have me, a girl who didn't hear from me for five years......"
Later, after reconciliation, I took them to Jindi, and when something happened, I broke my father's and mother's heart, and they packed up and saluted, made me a meal, and rushed back to my hometown overnight. ”
Xu Fengchen listened silently.
Everyone is a book, some books are beautiful stories, some books are beautiful and sad, and some books are more tragic than beautiful, even if you have a good material life, the stories written in black and white cannot be changed.
Chu Xiaohong drank all the wine in the wine glass in one go, and continued to whisper: "I thank my father and mother for not letting me starve to death in the era of social turmoil, in the ninety-six, ninety-seven and ninety-eight months, our drought was so bad, the crops were all dead, the people in the whole village were beggars, and the temple gave a lot of relief, but the temple was also poor back then, and caught up with the large-scale wave of layoffs...... I was able to survive, my younger siblings at home also survived, and my father and mother worked hard to save a few of us. ”
"I really want to repay them, but what I do is not clean, even I myself am so dirty that I can't be dirty anymore, I don't know what else to do except give them money for my brother and sister. ”
Xu Fengchen said: "You should accompany them well, maybe what they need is not your money, but you as a person." ”
"Mr. Xu. Chu Xiaohong smiled aggrievedly, "How can I have any other choice? After embarking on this road, it is impossible to turn back, to be honest, my chain of interests involves many people, if I wash my hands and don't dry it, they will pick me up." ”
What Chu Xiaohong did, without a backer and no connections, was a business to find death, she could do it for so long and still live well, and even needed to create a "signboard" of Li Ye to cover herself, which shows how fierce the whirlpool Chu Xiaohong is in.
"You may not believe it, the previous owner of the Xiaohe bar is called Li Defu, who is a figure in this area, and he is also the person who supports me, Li Defu is a ghost, after becoming famous and rich, he hid in the underground to control the bar, and he never showed up, after getting acquainted with him, Li Defu gave me a bar manager position to be familiar with the so-called business, I am not a good stubble, and after completely taking charge of all aspects of the Xiaohe bar, I will kill Li Defu, and my own hands, by the way, cleaned up his henchmen, and then I still operate the Xiaohe bar under the banner of Li Ye, until now。 However, what you said is also right, now I am Li Ye, and Li Ye is me. ”
Xu Fengchen didn't care about the details of this matter, Chu Xiaohong was an accidental character, and it was impossible for the intelligence to be investigated in too much detail.
"If you are willing to listen to the story of me and the Tianjin college student, I will also tell it to Mr. Xu. ”
Xu Fengchen sighed and didn't say anything more, since Chu Xiaohong's words were so far, if he didn't say anything, it would be so much that people would look down on him.
"I'll give you money, Xiaohe Bar has become a secret stake of the Xu family, and I will let people clear your name after the death of Lian Sheng and Han Mao. Xu Fengchen said.
"How much?"
Xu Fengchen smiled, stood up, stretched his waist, and it was early in the morning.
"Someone will look for you, the price will definitely exceed your expectations, of course, it is high, not low, if you are found to have done something unfavorable to the Xu family, I promise, you will die a miserable death." ”
