Volume 1: It is impossible to make money Chapter 12: Asking for a raise
"Let's eat, you don't have much time for lunch. Zhou Chang smiled and still followed Xia Jiuwan to the cafeteria.
It's just that Xia Jiuwan's pace is a little slower, as if he is waiting for Zhou Chang, hoping to get closer to Zhou Chang.
The second floor of the cafeteria is a small cooking stove, some teachers will come here to eat, after all, there is a subsidy, students with a little money come here suddenly, they can't go out at noon, and they can't order takeout, no way, only here is quieter, and the food can still be entered.
Students who don't have money can only save money and come here from time to time to satisfy their hunger.
Zhou Chang's high school also had this kind of place, but people like him were very poor, and he hadn't been here for three years, and he hadn't eaten a bite of the food here.
Xia Jiuwan casually found a seat and ordered a few dishes, and Zhou Chang stood not far behind Xia Jiuwan like last night.
"Come, sit, eat. Xia Jiuwan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Zhou Chang to hear.
I dealt with it casually last night, and it was the same in the morning, even if the nuclear didn't remind him, Zhou Chang was still a little hungry, so it would be better to be respectful.
"I didn't eat in the school cafeteria in high school, but after work, my dream came true. Zhou Chang smiled and sat down calmly.
The two sat opposite each other, and the meal was served quickly. Xia Jiuwan didn't move his chopsticks, and Zhou Chang didn't move either.
"Let's talk about it. Zhou Chang said.
"Is there anything else you won't know, or that you don't know?" Xia Jiuwan hesitated for a moment, but still said it, "Maybe Wu Fa is really looking at the wrong person. ”
"I said it a long time ago, you have to believe me. Zhou Chang felt that he had been recognized by Xia Jiuwan and was very proud.
"Then tell me, why do they hate me?" Xia Jiuwan was not very hungry, but she didn't move her chopsticks, and Zhou Chang was embarrassed to eat, so she took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and stuffed some food into her mouth.
Zhou Chang understood that the other party was afraid that he would starve, so he was not polite, and directly feasted, talking while eating. "I hate that you're better looking than them, that you're richer than them, and that you're popular with handsome guys. I hate your Rolls-Royce, I hate you going to school to be special, and I'm a little henchman.
Zhou Chang suddenly swallowed the food in his mouth, stopped eating, and said, "It's not a problem, when I was in school, I also hated children from rich families." But then I think about it, there is no way to do it. That's how this society is. There are always people who look better than me, their families are richer than me, and their academic performance is better, but if they don't die, they have to be angry with me, and then I don't compare, it's boring, it's too superficial. ”
"Don't you hate the rich?" Xia Jiuwan asked again.
"Miss. The reason why you are a young lady is because your father struggled, and he paid a price that surpassed ordinary people. You deserve such good conditions. I want to be like this, so I'm fighting to keep you safe and secure this money. Hatred of the rich or jealousy is the most useless. The foundation laid by your ancestors with great difficulty allowed you to go to school in a Rolls-Royce, and now others tell you not to compare, don't put pressure on other students, and let you go to school and go home, why? Money is a serious way, what can't you enjoy? Isn't this a moral kidnapping!" Zhou Chang's mouth was full of oil, and he still reminded him of his eating problems, so he restrained a little.
"Besides, to let this group of children face the reality, it is necessary to let them know that there are many rich people in this society, living a life that they can't imagine, and having the highest enjoyment. Only in this way can they be indignant, study hard, and start a business, so that they or their children can live such a life in the future! Do we want them to live in a greenhouse all the time, not knowing the cruelty of this society, and making them feel that everyone has the same starting point and is very fair? Zhou Chang said again.
I've never heard that before. Xia Jiuwan nodded, actually agreeing.
"Some people want to work harder than you do. Some people who are more jealous and troubled than you are embarrassed and will never be great. Zhou Chang said, this forced pretend to be very successful.
"Then what kind of person are you?" Xia Jiuwan asked.
"As I said, I'm your father's kind of person. Zhou Chang put down the dishes and chopsticks, and in a few minutes, three bowls of rice were eaten, and most of the dishes were eaten, and he was finally seventy percent full.
This sentence was spoken, but he unknowingly took advantage of Xia Jiuwan.
Since the transformation of his body, his amount of food has become unusually large, and in addition to supplying the energy of his transformed body, he also needs to supply the calculation of the core.
Silicon-based life is also life, you can't just work without eating!
The computer has to be plugged in!
"I want to live, I don't want to die. I think there is something strange about my father's death, the day of the accident...... The truck driver who hit him was in a car accident and was still drinking with a wine bottle, which the traffic police told me when they investigated. How can a person drink while driving? There is only one explanation, he didn't drink when he had an accident, and he pretended to be drunk driving when he had an accident to cover up the truth! Right now, only you can help me. Xia Jiuwan said and spoke, she actually cried, her eyes were red, and tears swirled in her eyes, but she couldn't bear it.
She wiped away her tears and looked directly at Zhou Chang.
The meaning is very clear, she wants Zhou Chang to help investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, is it Wu Fatian who killed her father and wants to seek benefits?
Tens of billions of funds are enough to make anyone murderous.
"I'm a bodyguard, not a policeman. I'm just taking care of you. Zhou Chang said, this is also the truth.
"If I don't bring down Wu Fatian, I will never be able to think it through!" Xia Jiuwan was very emotional.
Zhou Chang didn't speak, but the nucleus in his mind gave a few lines of text.
She was right. We want to bring down Wu Fatian and remove the final threat. You can't stay with her forever, you have other things to do. ”
"How to bring it down?" Zhou Chang asked.
"When Wu Fatian makes his move, he will be able to grasp the direct key evidence. All you have to do is keep the girl safe, and the police will take care of the rest. The nuclear answer was strategized and planned.
"When will you do it?" Zhou Chang asked again.
"It's coming. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhou Chang said, "I helped you bring down Wu Fatian, but it was not through your father's business. If it is handed over to the police, he will confess sooner or later, and your father will have to be vindicated. ”
"Thank you. Xia Jiuwan thanked him again.
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. It's just that I took the money from Wu Fatian's security team, but it was your disaster that was consumed. Zhou Chang smiled helplessly.
"You think too much, your salary, the account goes from me. Wu Fatian is not pulling out a dime, how can he pay you so much, and it is still spent on me. I know all about the salary advance, and I know that you are short of money. If Xia Jiuwan hadn't said this, Zhou Chang would still be in the dark.
Okay, you Wu Fatian, spend Xia Jiuwan's money to take care of me, a rookie, as a bodyguard, and finally want me to be a rookie who is not doing things well, which makes Xia Jiuwan have an accident, and he really doesn't spend a penny more!
"Eat, rest, and go to class later. Xia Jiuwan stood up and walked in the direction of the classroom, and Zhou Chang still followed behind.
"By the way, it's the beginning of August, what classes do you take during the summer vacation?" Zhou Chang remembered such an incident when he was uncomfortably hot under the scorching sun outside.
"All staff make up classes, the school does not charge, and the above cannot be checked. If you don't come to the first year of high school, you have to come to the second and third years of high school, saying that you want to study on your own, but in fact, you still have to go to class. If the student does not come to the make-up class, the parent should talk to the class teacher on the phone. The school is for our good, free summer classes, parents are too late to be happy, naturally willing, where will make any calls. Can...... I didn't need to come. Xia Jiuwan said.
Yes, if her father was still alive, he would definitely call the head teacher, the child has excellent academic performance, and the family has money, where can I make up for it.
Unfortunately, the person died before the start of the holiday.
"Condolences change. Zhou Chang finally said this.
"I investigated the relevant monitoring data on the day of Xia Chengsheng's accident, which was artificially erased, registered as a monitoring system failure, and could not be retrieved. Your human technology can't recover this disk information, but fortunately, it's not too long ago, but I can. Surveillance records prove that the driver of the truck involved in the accident did not drink alcohol or was suspected of being drunk before hitting Xia Chengsheng's vehicle, and after the collision, he got out of the car to confirm his carotid artery, and then got into the car and opened a brand new bottle of liquor, and drank most of the bottle. At the same time as the nuclear typed out the text, the monitoring picture also appeared in Zhou Chang's field of vision.
It's just that the picture is not very complete, and there are obvious stuttering, frame drops, and lack of color.
"Can't it be used as evidence?" Zhou Chang asked.
"The source is unknown and it is impossible to testify. Nuclear said.
And it was right. Wang Ge took this video to the police station to report the crime, and the public cameras of the traffic police department did not record the picture, where did you get it?
If you don't explain it clearly, don't do stupid things.
Back in the classroom, Zhou Chang looked at Xia Jiuwan who was resting on the table and frowned. This girl is indeed smart, and she can guess that her father's murder was not an accident, and in order to save her life in the past few days, I don't know how much thought she has put into it, and I am afraid that she will not be able to sleep well at night.
"It's the first time you've had the idea of actively protecting her, and I didn't choose the wrong person. Nuclear said.
"You didn't force it?" Zhou Chang was a little helpless, and he took out the wooden sign hanging around his neck.
"You're so awesome at checking the information, help me find out what this thing is? ”
"There is no such thing, and there is no record of this thing on the human Internet. I'll admit that I'm not omnipotent, and that value can only be relied on the Internet. "For the first time, nuclear admits its its own flaws.
"It's okay, just ask casually, don't hold out hope. Zhou Chang smiled indifferently.
The afternoon class passed quickly, and ordinary students had evening self-study, Xia Jiuwan naturally didn't need to stay here, and when Zhou Chang followed her out of school, she met Li Zihang, who also didn't go to evening self-study.
If this thing usually saw Xia Jiuwan, he would have to come over and be disgusted for a while, but now that he was accompanied by Zhou Chang, he had to run away in a gloomy manner, and he didn't dare to take a second look.
The two of them walked one after the other to the underground parking lot of the big mall.
"Detection of hazards, employer unknown. ”
"Source of danger: parking lot. ”
"Confirmed to be carrying the murder weapon. ”
"There are two sources of danger, and the threat level is 96.4 percent. ”
"Subject Condition: Good. The operating rate of the main body is 86%. ”
"Threat success rate: 46.8 percent. ”
"Takeover detection: Takeover is recommended. ”
"Whether the subject agrees or not. ”
"I've been transformed like this, can't I do it at once?" Looking at the results of the nuclear judgment, Zhou Chang felt that his muscles were all fake.
"Body modification is limited to the physical body, and the fighting skills can't keep up, and the follow-up needs your efforts. The other party has a murder weapon, do you want to fight it yourself, or will I help you fight it?"
Two people wearing motorcycle helmets hid in the dark corner of the parking lot, right next to the Rolls-Royce, and several luxury car owners passed by in a row unmoved, obviously not for the robbery, their target was only Xia Jiuwan alone.
Kidnapping? or murder?
"Is it Wu Fatian's people?" Zhou Chang asked.
"Wu Fatian has no changes, and the content of today's contact conversations on all channels is not threatening. He made a list of Wu Fatian's contacts and described in detail what he had said to everyone.
Even when I was so strict that I was on the phone with my mistress, the foul words were recorded, and Zhou Chang's scalp was numb when I heard it, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
Xia Jiuwan had already entered the entrance of the parking lot, and there was a Rolls-Royce sedan in front of her, she looked back at Zhou Chang, wondering why this person was walking so slowly, but she didn't see two people walking out of the corner at all, one was carrying a metal bat in his hand, and the other was holding a sharp knife, slowly approaching her back.
"Take over, take over immediately!" Don't think about it, if you hesitate, something will happen, these two boys are coming too fast!
Zhou Chang immediately made a decision, people have knives, and they will definitely not be able to beat them with their own reactions, practice is to practice, but now is not the time to practice.
One person raised the bat and was about to smash it towards Xia Jiuwan's head, it seems that it is not a kidnapping, he doesn't want to stay alive at all, he will die if he comes up!
Xia Jiuwan felt a cool breeze behind him, turned his head and saw that the bat was about to swing down, his pupils shrank instantly, and he forgot to scream, but Zhou Chang took out the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and the distance of less than ten meters was instantaneous, and before the bat landed on Xia Jiuwan's head, he reached out and grabbed the front end of the bat.
The tiger's mouth in his left hand was smashed by this bat, Zhou Chang gritted his teeth and frowned, but the behavior on his body was no longer under his control, and it was all controlled by the core.
With such a ruthless force, it is still a metal bat, and he directly uses his hands to follow? What is the origin of this person? The baseball man was shocked, as far as he knew, there was only one weak college student next to this rich girl!
The bat man wanted to draw out his weapon, but found that Zhou Chang's hand was so strong that he couldn't pump at all, and the next second he felt that his lower abdomen had been hit hard, and a tearing pain came from his lower body, straight to his brain, his body suddenly became weak, and he couldn't hold the bat in his hand, and he fell to the ground with a grinning and screaming, covering his crotch.
"Such a beautiful and lovely girl, beckoning to her head, she is still not a man, if you don't want to be a man, don't be a man!" Zhou Chang whispered.
During the whole process, the other knife-wielding man didn't react at all!
Zhou Chang went down on this knee, and if he didn't become a eunuch, it was estimated that he would have to be abolished.
Zhou Chang threw away the bat in his hand, and the sound echoed in the parking lot, protecting Xia Jiuwan behind him.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way, this matter has nothing to do with you today!" The knife-wielding man did not flinch, the bright sharp knife was in his hand, no matter if you had two hits, it was also a white knife in and a red knife out!
"Miss, no. Zhou Chang sighed.
"No, you can't beat him? Zhou Chang, you said you want to protect me, but a man can't say no!" Xia Jiuwan had already seen Zhou Chang's methods, and knew that he was still teasing himself at a critical time, so he suddenly became angry and said with a crying voice.
"This work, you have to add money. Zhou Chang smiled.
