Chapter 44: Persuasion

Zongheng uses a question as the beginning of this persuasion work. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 He asked, "Last night, you were hiding at the corner of the stairs with Lydia and you overheard what I was talking about downstairs, right?" ā€

Hannah was stunned, she had thought that both Zongheng and Lydia had forgotten about it. Now that Zongheng mentioned it, she couldn't deny it, so she had to blush and say, "Yes...... I heard it all......"

Zongheng thought that she would deny it, but the rebuttal she had prepared had to be stopped in her stomach. He said, "Then you should know that yesterday I killed someone, and more than one." And all these actions of mine have been mastered by those people. What do you think would happen if I waited until Christmas and I met her uncle and didn't agree to join them? ā€

Hannah was taken aback and said, "They're going to tell the police about these things?" ā€

"Maybe not enough to tell the police." "But anyway, I have a handle in their hands, right?" ā€

Hannah nodded hesitantly, but then asked, "But this is what you are talking about...... What does it matter if you rob the rich and give to the poor? ā€

Zongheng said: "They took a fancy to my skills and wanted me to join them. Given the current situation, it is impossible for me not to accede to such a request. But how to join, very particular. It makes a big difference between joining as a partner or joining someone else's side, right? ā€

Hannah nodded again.

"A newcomer like me, joining a mature team, can only become a thug and listen to people's calls if he only relies on his good skills. And to be a partner in a team, I need two things - my own people, and a lot of money. Some people have money and are not afraid to go anywhere. But I lack both. Seeing that Christmas is only more than two months away, it is simply an impossible task to pull up your own people in such a short time. So, I had to find a way out of the money. At my age, when I go out to work, no one will hire me. Doing your own business and being the boss is too slow to get money. After thinking about it, it is still the fastest to buy and sell without capital. I didn't want to make money from good law-abiding citizens, so I had to fight the gangsters. With the money, it was possible for me to earn myself a better position among those people. Even if I can't talk to them and end up falling out, I have the money on hand and it's easier to escape, isn't it? What's more, I live in your house, and it costs money to eat, drink, and wear everything. We are not related to each other, and we may not have any conflicts in a short period of time, but after a long time, it is difficult to ensure that there are no pimples in our hearts. The taste under the fence is very uncomfortable, and you may find it difficult to understand. ā€

Hannah was a little dizzy by these words. After a long while, she sorted out the relationship and said, "In other words, the reason why you want to rob the gang is not only to compensate our family, but also to make yourself better mixed in another gang?" ā€

"It's a bit ugly, but there's nothing wrong with that."

"But isn't it dangerous for you to do that?"

"So I'm going to learn makeup, aren't I?" "You've seen my skills, and if you fight in close combat, no one will be my opponent. But I can't deal with bullets. So I need a good makeup technique so that I can get close to my target and not be shot and killed from a long distance. ā€

Hannah hesitated and said, "But...... I think...... It's best to listen to Lydia's opinion. ā€

"Hannah." Zongheng said with a serious expression, "You won't be the only one in this world who can put on makeup. As long as I pay, I completely find someone on the street to teach me. And I can assure you that those people will never ask why. But the friendship between you and me is different, I trust you, so I will tell you this. You know, I didn't say any of that to Lydia. ā€

Hannah froze. Zongheng is right, he can completely leave her alone and learn makeup from others. With his ingenuity, with a little bit of nudge, he will definitely be able to do better than her. And the last sentence of Zongheng is particularly moving. He hadn't told Lydia any of these things. This shows that in his mind, her status and Lydia are different. He trusted her more than Lydia.

Hannah was already moved, but the last hint of hesitation in her heart prompted her not to say yes immediately. "But," she said, "...... Lydia will always know...... In case she knew......"

Zongheng laughed and said, "Didn't you notice? What exactly do I do, whether I will agree to Zhang's solicitation, Lydia doesn't care at all. What she really cared about was whether or not I could still be in her hands in name. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said anything about Zhang yesterday about soliciting me. I won't be in a hurry to find Moretti for a showdown today. ā€

Hannah was a little surprised by his sensitivity. But when she thought of the rumors she had heard from James and Marilyn about exaggerated IQs, she felt understandable. With such a high IQ, how could it be impossible to see through Lydia's true mind? How did she know that the reason why Zongheng was able to guess Lydia's mind correctly was because he heard all the quarrel between the two sisters last night.

Hannah suddenly thought that the reason why Nemo wanted to get money was because she was already dissatisfied with Lydia, so she would prepare for her future. If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to build a closer relationship with Lydia than Lydia would have been if I had agreed to teach him how to make up?

Thinking of this, Hannah said, "Okay! I'll teach you makeup. But I also have a request. ā€

"What requirements?" Zongheng asked.

"I don't want you to deal with those gangsters alone. In the future, before you make any moves, be sure to tell me in advance. I'll support you with a gun. ā€

Zongheng didn't expect Hannah to make such a request. After all, Hannah was scared by Daniel Zhang last night and peed her pants, and all of them witnessed it with their own eyes. He thought that after this incident, Hannah would never want to have anything to do with the gun car in her life. But now it seems that he really underestimated Hannah.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not impossible. But your hand-to-hand combat skills are so poor that you have to undergo a certain amount of training before you can act with me. In addition, I just want to learn how to use firearms, so I want you to teach me. ā€

Hannah was overjoyed and said, "A word is a certainty!" ā€

……

Make-up training begins in the afternoon of this day. Hannah collects all the cosmetics in the house, explains their purpose in the same way, and demonstrates how to use them herself.

Zongheng learns quickly. With his memory, it was naturally easy to remember everything Hannah said, and according to her demonstration, he managed to put on a few simple makeup for himself with different makeup.

As for the speed of learning, although she had heard about it before, Hannah still suffered a big blow.

She couldn't help but complain: "Why is there such a big difference between people?" Whatever it is, you just have to watch it once and remember it and reproduce it perfectly. I think at the beginning, I made a lot of jokes in order to learn makeup. ā€

Zongheng was very curious about what jokes she had made. But he is not a little boy after all, and he knows that this kind of thing related to a woman's appearance is best not to delve into it, otherwise, he will be uncomfortable with himself, so he didn't say anything.

And when the next day began to teach the gun practice, Hannah was hit even harder.
