Chapter 34: Sleepless Tonight
XXXIV. Sleepless tonight
On the evening of June 30, Guangzhou, Wang Jieren's house, living room. Wang Jieren, Wang Jiezhong, and Wang Jieyi sat together. The two younger brothers stared at their eldest brother, who had not seen him for more than half a month, and the problems in their stomachs made them wonder where to start. Wang Jieren, who is still the boss, spoke by himself and told about his experience during that time in Wenzhou: the transformation of the old city of Wenzhou, the changes of the elders of his hometown, and the taxi life of his brother Li Tie------
"Big brother, that teenager named Zheng Xuanqi is the one you said, a writer who writes novels? This is shocking, it's too exaggerated!" Wang Jieyi was a little unconvinced, "Looking at his appearance, he is at most 16 years old, and he is still a middle school student, this is ------"
"Big, big brother, I'm also surprised! Although I haven't read books for a few years, and I don't like to read as much as my younger brother, I still don't believe in those two classic novels told by my younger brother!" Wang Jiezhong, who was sitting next to Wang Jieyi, was rugged and exuded masculinity.
"So, I didn't tell you clearly on the phone, if it were me, I wouldn't believe it the first time, but that's the case, and his age is not 16 years old as Xiaoyi said, but 14 years old. This year, I just took the junior high school exam, and won the first place in our hometown Lucheng District, the only one with double 100 points!" Wang Jieren looked at the two pairs of eyes full of doubts and said affirmatively.
Wang Jieyi, who was dressed in popular clothes and looked like a little fresh meat, opened his mouth wide and looked at his second stunned brother, Wang Jiezhong, exaggeratedly. The living room fell silent all of a sudden, and only a few voices remained, "This------- this -------".
After a while, Wang Jieren waited for his two younger brothers to digest the surprise and then said, "There are still some things that are not easy to talk about on the phone, so I will call you all over as soon as I come back." Then Wang Jieren told what happened in Wenzhou 1510.
"Fuck, rely on his mother, if this teenager is really like what you say, brother, then we won't live to be pigs at a long age. Wang Jieyi slapped his thigh, simply stood up, and shouted at Wang Jiezhong, "Brother muscle, did you say?"
"Yes, yes. Wang Jiezhong nodded and answered, completely ignoring the inappropriateness of the words in his words.
"Xiaoyi, can you talk well, don't fuck me, rely on his mother, I've read too many novels? How many times have I told you, I told Jie Zhong to call my second brother, I don't have a long memory. As soon as Wang Jieren heard Wang Jieyi's mouth with dirty words, and called Wang Jiezhong a muscle brother, he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and said, "Jiezhong, you can't spoil him like this, the second child's nickname used to be ugly, and this time I won't give you a muscle brother again!
Wang Jiezhong looked at his eldest brother, then at Jieyi, touched his own inch head, and said with a smirk: "It's okay, it's okay, big brother, I don't mind at all." Xiaoyi, after all, it's still young!" stretched out his arm and did a muscle demonstration, and then said, "Xiaoyi is not wrong, big brother, you see, I have a lot of muscles!"
"He is still young, after July, he will be 23 years old, if he goes to college, he will graduate, he is still young!"
"Hehehe, yes, big brother, if you don't say it, I forgot, Xiaoyi's 22nd birthday is coming. ”
"Stupid big one!" Wang Jieyi muttered softly, he knew in his heart that his second brother loved him, it was real, and he didn't believe that his second brother would forget his birthday. Whether in Wenzhou or after coming to Guangzhou, the eldest brother was busy working hard, making money, and supporting his family all day long. I was young at that time, and in this place where the foreign population gathered, I often got into fights, but every time I was bullied, this stupid brother of mine would go to someone to settle accounts with one person. It doesn't matter if the other party is one person or ten people. Every time I came back, I would add a few more scars to my body, but I would smirk at myself and say, 'I taught them a lesson, and they promised that they would never bully you again'.
Wang Jieren looked at this second brother who didn't look like a southerner: dark-skinned, high-headed, and full of Shandong man, but he was too elm pimple. Maybe it's because of this character that his parents gave him a loyal name. Then he shook his head, saying that what he said was also in vain, knowing that his second brother was very good to the youngest brother, or he was simply doting!
The subject changed again. "Xuanqi, recognize me as a big brother, I also recognize him as a younger brother, when you go out, you are brothers all over the world, we are all Wenzhou people, you have to treat him as a younger brother and take more care of him. ”
"Well, big brother, you have the final say! Wang Jiezhong and Wang Jieyi spoke out together.
"Calling you here is mainly another matter, this matter concerns each of us!" Wang Jieren said that Zheng Xuanqi borrowed money from him, or to be precise, borrowed money against the income of the novel, "Jie Zhong, how much liquidity can we mobilize on hand? Jieyi, about the publishing time, cost recovery, and sales proceeds of the novel? Xuanqi wants to borrow from us with the proceeds of his two novels as collateral!"
"Excluding uncollected, unpaid and reserve funds, the funds that can be withdrawn are about 1.6 million. "Although Wang Jie is loyal to the elm point, his ability to settle accounts is still good, he thought about it and said.
"The book can be published at the end of July at the earliest, not counting the advance payment, and the income will have to wait until August!" Wang Jieyi thought about the latest news from his publisher friend and said, "Why does he want so much money? This is not 12,000, but more than 1 million!"
"Listening to Xuanqi's meaning, it should be a big use in Hong Kong!" Wang Jieren said uncertainly, "There is one thing in this, I haven't told you yet, I can help you refer to it." When I was in Wenzhou, I gave him a thank you fee of 5,000 yuan, and at that time he only said that it was a temporary loan, which I thought was a joke, but it was returned to me after only a week. ”
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the brothers, Wang Jieren continued: "On the way to Guangzhou, Xuanqi discussed with me about borrowing. Well, at that time, he said that it was financing, and I thought it was a joke, but then he actually showed me the record of the HK$300,000 Hong Kong dollar passbook he was carrying. I was shocked to think I had seen a ghost. ”
"According to my understanding of his family and personally, he definitely doesn't have so much Hong Kong dollars at home, even if it's RMB, it's impossible, let alone give him so much money----- well, until now, I even suspect that he is carrying more money, and there should be more than 300,000 ------ in the bank card."
Seeing that the eldest brother didn't look like he was sick with a fever, Wang Jieyi swallowed his throat, wanted to reach out and touch it, but couldn't take a step, and said with difficulty: "Big brother, you know, I have read a lot of novels, but my spirit is definitely very stable, and my IQ should be normal, but what you told me, I always feel like listening to a story, listening to a story of a "madman and a genius"!"
Wang Jiezhong didn't come back to his senses yet, first nodded, then shook his head, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say!
"Do you think I have a mental problem? To be honest, I want to have it too, so that's why I hurriedly came to you!" Wang Jieren understood the reaction of his younger brothers, and he was not in this state if he was not in this state.
Zheng Xuanqi was going to Hong Kong on July 2-3, saying that he had made an appointment with someone over there. ”
