22. Protection fees
Emperor Qin was depressed in his heart, is five million very high? Is it high? Why don't you believe me, I'm really five million a year! He almost couldn't help but take the agreement out. Still, I couldn't help thinking about it. Dude must not be such a superficial person, absolutely not.
Besides, Sister Mei has no malicious intent, if she shows off like this, it is estimated that it will make people's faces unbearable. Although Emperor Qin has a somewhat bad temper, he is still very gentle with women, especially beautiful women. So, this guy quickly let go of the depressed mood and smiled with Mei Xiangyan.
After the meal, the relationship between Emperor Qin and Mei Xiang has become much closer, and between the two of them, the relationship between the landlord and the tenant has faintly broken through, and there is a tendency to become friends. Since they were friends, there were naturally some things that could be said, so Emperor Qin quickly understood why Mei Xiang invited him to be his clerk.
After figuring out this cause, Qin was a little crying and laughing, and he frowned: "You mean that you are afraid that someone will disturb you, so you let me give you a town?" ”
Mei Xiang naturally didn't know Emperor Qin's entanglement, she thought that Emperor Qin was a little unhappy, and immediately said, "That's probably what it means." However, it doesn't have to be bothered by anyone, it's mainly a matter of prevention. ”
It's okay not to say this, but when Emperor Qin said it, he was even more depressed. The daring buddy can't even be the main force, and it's still a spare. Prevention is better than prevention, doesn't it mean that the buddies are on guard over there? However, he couldn't get angry with Mei Xiang.
After thinking for a while, Emperor Qin said, "If that's the case, then it's easy to do." I don't have something to do all the time, if you have something, just call me and I'll be there to help you. I have a request, though. ”
When he said this, Emperor Qin looked at Mei Xiang intently, his eyes were shining, and there seemed to be a flame jumping in his eyes.
Mei Xiang has seen a lot of this kind of gaze, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed for a while, why do men have such a German surname? I just asked for a favor, and I haven't asked you to do anything yet, are you ready to ask for a favor? What am I? With such a thought in her heart, Mei Xiang's expression became a little cold: "If there is something, let's say it." ”
Emperor Qin naturally didn't know about Mei Xiang's psychological changes, and he was still a little puzzled, this Sister Mei wouldn't be a Sichuan face-changing enthusiast, why did her demeanor change so much all of a sudden, it was just a little inexplicable. He didn't know what to say for a while, but this guy was quite thick-skinned, and after thinking about it for a while, he still said it.
"That's right, didn't I agree with you for a month. It stands to reason that I shouldn't break the contract, but I'm used to living here, and if I were to go out and look for a house again, I might not be able to find such a good one. If I can help you, Sister Mei, you can raise your noble hand and let me continue to live. ”
Hearing Emperor Qin's words, Mei Xiang immediately blushed, oops, it turned out that he was such a request. It's ridiculous that he still thinks he wants to do something, alas, he thinks too highly of himself, and thinks what he is, thinking that everyone will have intentions for himself. After all, he is a little widow, he is young, and he may not look down on himself.
Thinking of this, Mei Xiang felt a little sorry for herself, a woman's mind is so weird.
"It's not like you can't agree to this request. However, it depends on your performance. ”
Mei Xiang was a little embarrassed and didn't want to say anything more on this issue, so she quickly changed the topic lightly.
The next day, it was the opening of Mei Xiang's flower shop. And Emperor Qin didn't start his official bodyguard career on this day, so he had to go over to cheer for it. Of course, helping is more than deterring, after all, the first day of opening is sure to be busy.
The name of the flower shop is forget-me-not, decent, but the location is good, close to Nandu Agricultural University, not far from the train station, good business, prospects can be expected. When Emperor Qin and Mei Xiang arrived at the flower shop, there were already two people busy in the shop. One is a little girl who helps, and the other is a special errand runner who is responsible for delivering flowers.
This little girl is almost in her early twenties, more delicate, it is said that her sister is studying at Nandu Agricultural University, she works here, and she also has the meaning of taking care of her sister.
And the young man who ran away was less than thirty years old, and somehow, seeing this person, Emperor Qin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, people are more polite to him, and he is not good at pulling down his face. A few people got it through, and soon it was an auspicious time, needless to say, as soon as the firecrackers were set off and the flower baskets were placed, it was considered to be open.
Mei Xiang didn't know anyone locally, and no one came to cheer up, so this opening was a bit lonely. It can be seen that Mei Xiang's emotions don't seem to be very good, and Qin has to persuade someone to say a few words of comfort.
"Hah, someone's coming." After Emperor Qin chatted with Mei Xiang for a while, he went out and walked around casually, his eyesight was very good, and he saw a group of people coming over from afar, looking at this posture, it should be from the flower shop.
When Mei Xiang heard Emperor Qin's words, she also walked out and looked in the direction of Emperor Qin's finger, looking a little nervous. She pulled Emperor Qin with a pleading look on her face.
Emperor Qin suddenly wondered, someone should be happy to come to cheer, how can you see that Sister Mei seems to be a little scared.
The next moment, he knew why. Mei Xiang's voice was small, and it reached his ears: "This group of people should be here to make trouble, I know one of them, it's a gangster." ”
It turned out to be a gangster. Emperor Qin immediately understood, it is estimated that this group of people is watching the opening of the flower shop, so it is best to deter the shopkeeper and collect protection fees for a long time when they come to fight the autumn breeze. These people actually found Sister Mei's head, and Emperor Qin's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of evil anger, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, his voice reached Mei Xiang's ears: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
Mei Xiang smiled bitterly, she knew that Emperor Qin was quite capable of fighting, but there were a lot of people coming now, even if she could fight, she shouldn't be able to bear it. Thinking of this, Mei Xiang's face turned a little pale, and her white fingers had already held the phone, ready to dial 110 immediately if something was wrong.
It's a long story, but it's actually very short, and the gang of thugs has already arrived. There were seven or eight of them, and the leader was stout with a thick neck, and a very thick gold necklace hung around his neck, which made people can't help but have a hint of association with dog chains. He should be the boss of these gangsters, and the others are very stammering with him, no, someone actually brought a folding chair, and immediately opened it for him to sit down.
This style is really first-class arrogance. After this person sat down, he didn't speak, his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked like the world was not as big as me.
If they don't speak, Emperor Qin will naturally not speak. This little scene is not in Qin's eyes at all. Mei Xiang, on the other hand, was a little uneasy standing on the side, and wanted to speak, but she couldn't talk about it. When the two part-time workers saw this scene, they couldn't help but tremble their legs, these guys didn't look like a good way to come, if they started to do it, would the city gate catch fire and affect the pond fish? This is a matter of life.
A minute passed, and when the group of thugs saw that the tricks they had always used to scare people were ineffective, they suddenly felt a little dull, and the stout man couldn't help but snort coldly. Hearing this code, a very clever gangster next to him suddenly got instructions, jumped out at once, and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is our Brother Lei, seeing that Brother Lei is silent, looking for death?" ”
Seeing the little gangster's angry look, Emperor Qin smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be Brother Lei, is there anything wrong?" ”
Emperor Qin's performance was too abnormal. Ordinary people, when they see this situation, must know what is going on in their hearts, and they will definitely react. The strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, you want to mix here, you have to be honest? However, Emperor Qin didn't care at all, that attitude seemed to be facing a group of ants.
This kind of posture made Brother Lei's heart stir a little, didn't he provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, right? However, looking at it again, this guy is just a young man in his twenties, even if he is powerful, how powerful can he be? Besides, looking at the miserable appearance of this flower shop, it is estimated that there is no background. Thinking about it in this way, Brother Lei's confidence returned.
"Of course it's a good thing to look for you. The security here is not very good, and the place near the train station is very crowded. A while ago, there was an out-of-town who was poor and crazy, and then he found a random storefront and went in to rob it. Two dead and one wounded, tsk, it's really miserable. Brother Lei's thick neck twisted, his eyes emitted a light like a hungry wolf, and his mouth seemed to be saying things out of tune, but outside the words, there was a threat.
"However, if you accept our protection, then it will be fine. My surname is Lei who can still speak in this area, and there shouldn't be anyone who wants to provoke me. How, think about it? As Lei Ge spoke, he whistled at Mei Xiang lightly. A charming young woman, as long as she is a man, will always have some ideas.
Emperor Qin's face suddenly became a little strange: "Are you going to collect protection money?" I don't know how much it costs a month? ”
"Not much, 10,000 yuan is enough." Brother Lei laughed, "If this little lady is willing to make my brother feel better, you can also consider reducing it." Brother Lei saw that Emperor Qin was soft and asked about the protection fee, and the little caution in his heart was suddenly thrown away by him, and his mouth began to bloom. Yinxie's eyes kept looking at Mei Xiang, eager to swallow Mei Xiang in his stomach.
"Ten thousand? It's really not much. Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly agree to you. From now on, you accept my protection and give me 10,000 a month. If you can't, you'll do it at your own risk. Emperor Qin's expression was cold, and he spoke. The tone of his speech is clean and neat, and he is more domineering and arrogant than Brother Lei!
