(Everyone has the trouble of recommending votes in their hands, thank you.) )

Liu Tao met Qi Zhenqiang on the way to the classroom. Originally, Liu Tao wanted to pretend not to see him when he saw him, but he didn't expect the other party to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Liu Tao, this model test is good! Keep it up! Strive to win the first place in the class! Qi Zhenqiang encouraged.

"Yes." Liu Tao glanced at him and nodded.

Good grades are uncle, and this sentence is indeed true. Originally, Qi Zhenqiang still treated him coldly, always thinking about giving him a small shoe to wear. Who would have thought that this time he would come to a salted fish and turn over, and he took the first place in the class, Qi Zhenqiang, as the director of the grade department, naturally wanted to be impressed by him. After all, if he can be admitted to a prestigious university, Qi Zhenqiang's face will also be bright.

"Alright, let's go to class. If you have any questions, you can come to the office directly to find me. Qi Zhenqiang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Tao didn't say much nonsense, and walked straight in the direction of the classroom.

When he was about to knock on the door and enter, the bell rang just in time. Knowing that class was about to end, he might as well go straight to the cafeteria.

Fan Wenjuan walked out of it. She smiled after seeing Liu Tao and said, "Where did you go to class if you didn't come back after participating in the biology competition?" ”

"Didn't we go to Zhao Lan's house last night? I made an appointment with a client at her house to discuss some business. After participating in the competition in the morning, I went to go through the formalities, so I came back for a while. Liu Tao explained.

"I see. How are you going to eat at noon? Do you want to come with me? Fan Wenjuan sent him an invitation. They are neighbors in the first place, and they should take care of each other. What's more, although she and Liu Tao do not have the name of husband and wife, they are already husband and wife, and it is natural for them to have a meal together.

"Okay!" Liu Tao readily agreed.

The two went downstairs side by side and walked outside the school. Originally, Liu Tao wanted to eat in the cafeteria, but Fan Wenjuan said that he wanted to go out to eat. When Liu Tao saw her say this, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he simply followed her wishes. It's just a meal anyway, and it's the same wherever you eat it.

Just as the two of them were leaving, Zhang Qian and the others walked out of it. When she saw Liu Tao and Fan Wenjuan walking side by side, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Originally, the relationship between her and Liu Tao was that she took the initiative, and she even felt that Liu Tao would definitely pursue herself with perseverance. But now it seems that the truth is not what she expected. Recently, Liu Tao's appearance is very eye-catching, not only impressing teachers like Fan Wenjuan, but even school flowers like Xie Na put down the shelves and wanted to invite him to dinner. If these things had been put in the past, she would not have believed even if she was killed, but now they have become a fait accompli, making it impossible for her not to face them.

However, it is precisely because of this that her good impression of Liu Tao is also increasing day by day. Whether it's a man or a woman, they basically think that what they have stolen is good. Being able to defeat many rivals in love in front of everyone is quite a face-saving thing. It's just that the current Liu Tao is no longer Wuxia Ameng, even if she wants to get the other party, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing. When Liu Tao was unknown, she didn't take it seriously, and now when it is her turn to take Liu Tao seriously, Liu Tao has become a sweetheart.

At that time, it was just ordinary. Indeed it is.

Liu Tao and Fan Wenjuan walked out of the school gate and entered a nearby restaurant. Since Fan Wenjuan is a teacher in No. 4 Middle School, she occasionally comes here to eat, so the restaurant owners know her. When I saw her come in, I hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Boss, do you have a private room?" Fan Wenjuan asked with a smile at the other party.

"It's just a good time for you to come. And one more. When the boss said this, he said to the waiter, "Take Teacher Fan and them up." ”

The waiter nodded and went straight upstairs.

Fan Wenjuan smiled at Liu Tao, and then the two prepared to follow the waiter to the private room side by side.

At this time, a group of people came in from outside. When the boss saw it, he frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Brother Bao, what kind of wind blew you here today." ”

Brother Bao had a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "Boss Chen, I heard that you haven't paid your protection fee this month. I'm here today just to ask you, when are you going to pay it? ”

After listening to the other party's words, Boss Chen smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Bao, this month's business is not very good, do you think this money can be paid again next month?" ”

Brother Bao didn't speak, and walked to a dining table to sit down. One of his younger brothers hurriedly pulled over a stool, and Brother Bao sat down and said to Boss Chen: "If everyone who opens a store is like you, what will happen to these brothers under me?" Do you want them to drink the northwest wind? ”

"Brother Bao, I just want you to suspend it for a month, and I will definitely make up for it next month." Boss Chen said with a sad face. Originally, he had money in his hands, but something happened to his family this month, and he didn't have much cash in his hands. If you pay the protection fee, you probably won't even have the money to buy food.

"I don't have the patience to hear you say this. If you know each other, go get the money quickly. Otherwise, my brothers and I will sit here until you have the money. Brother Bao threatened Boss Chen. He collects protection money on this street all the year round, and often encounters such a situation, as long as he uses this trick, the boss who does not pay the money will have to pay obediently in the end, after all, everyone is out to do business, if the business can't be done, then what's the point.

Seeing this, Boss Chen knew that if he didn't give the other party money today, the other party would definitely make trouble. He was an honest man, and he didn't want to provoke these people, so he had no choice but to go to the cashier's place, open the drawer, and take out all the money inside. I counted it, and it was more than 700 pieces in total. Then he rummaged through his pockets and found more than a hundred, which together amounted to almost nine hundred, and a hundred shorts. Pay a protection fee of 1,000 yuan a month, which is stipulated by Brother Bao, and no one can be less.

At this time, the waiter came down from upstairs. She had an order menu in her hand, and it seemed that Teacher Fan had already ordered the dishes.

"Xiaomei, what did Teacher Fan order?" Boss Chen shouted at the waiter.

The waiter took a look at it and said, "They ordered a total of four dishes and one soup." ”

After listening to her words, Boss Chen took the order menu and looked at it, and then quickly calculated the amount, which was a total of one hundred and three yuan.

"You let the kitchen hurry up. I'll go up and have a look. Boss Chen went upstairs as he spoke.

When I arrived at the private room, Boss Chen lifted the curtain and walked in.

Liu Tao and Fan Wenjuan were chatting, and when they saw him come in, they smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Teacher Fan, there is something I want to trouble you. I don't have enough money in my pocket, so I want you to settle the meal money in advance, and I'll send them away. Boss Chen said with some embarrassment.

"That's fine. How much is it? Fan Wenjuan said as she took out her wallet.

"It's a total of one hundred and three dollars, you just give me a hundred." Boss Chen hurriedly said.

Fan Wenjuan nodded, took out a hundred from her wallet and handed it to the other party.

Boss Chen took the money and said to them, "You eat slowly, I'll go down first." ”

Liu Tao and Fan Wenjuan nodded at him and did not speak.

Just when Boss Chen was about to open the curtain and prepare to go out, the curtain was opened all of a sudden, and Brother Bao and others walked in from outside.

"Boss Chen, I asked you to take the money, why did you go upstairs without saying a word? Don't you want to give? Brother Bao asked with a displeased face.

"Brother Bao, look at what you said, how dare I not give it. It's this month, you dot. Boss Chen hurriedly handed over the 1,000 yuan in his hand.

Brother Bao took the money, clicked it, nodded, and said to Boss Chen: "In order to come over and get the money today, the brothers haven't eaten yet, you can give me a few good dishes and two bottles of wine." ”

"Okay, no problem." Boss Chen readily agreed. As long as you can send these evil spirits away, a table of wine and food is nothing.

"By the way, there's a private room, right? Give us one. Brother Bao continued.

"Brother Bao, this is really not available now. You also know that I only have two private rooms here, this one is occupied, and the other next to me is also occupied. You and your brothers should go downstairs and eat. Boss Chen said with an embarrassed face.

After listening to Boss Chen's words, Brother Bao did not leave immediately. He looked Fan Wenjuan and Liu Tao up and down, and said with a smile: "I said sister, is it okay to discuss something?" You see it's just two of you, or you can go downstairs and eat. There are so many of us here, it's inconvenient to be down there. ”

Before Fan Wenjuan could speak, Liu Tao had already shook his head and said, "You can go downstairs and sit separately." ”

"Shout, the boy who hasn't grown his hair even dares to argue with me. You know what I do, don't you? Brother Bao glanced at Liu Tao and couldn't help but shout. When he came out to mix, it was estimated that Liu Tao was still wearing open crotch pants.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. If you're okay, please hurry up. We're going to eat. Liu Tao said with a frown.

"Lao Tzu is from the underworld. Does the underworld know? Brother Bao saw Liu Tao looking so indifferent, and his heart was quite angry.

Liu Tao nodded and said, "It turns out that you are from the underworld." You're not here to collect protection money, are you? ”

"Boy, count yourself smart. Yes, we're here to collect protection money. If you know each other, hurry up and eat with your sister, or don't blame me for being unkind. Brother Bao said with an unusually arrogant threat. No one on this street has dared to oppose him. You know, he has a lot of brothers under him, and more importantly, he has a big brother on top of him. Even if something happens, someone will come forward to help him make it clear. It is precisely because of this that he is so fearless.

"You're welcome?" Liu Tao stood up suddenly.

"Little bitch, are you still dragging it? Go, come out with me! Brother Bao stepped forward as he spoke, ready to pull Liu Tao's arm.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched Liu Tao's arm, he was directly grabbed by Liu Tao's arm and twisted. Then, Liu Tao pushed him forward violently, just on the body of one of his younger brothers.

"I'm cǎo! ** Dare to do it! Brothers, beat me to death! "Brother Bao would have thought that a stinky boy would dare to do something to him, it's a great shame. What's more, now in front of his subordinate brothers, how can he swallow this breath.

A few of Brother Bao's men walked towards Liu Tao. Seeing that a vicious fight is inevitable.

Seeing this, Boss Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Bao, don't do it here, can you give me face?" ”

Brother Bao didn't say a word, stepped forward and slapped Boss Chen, and scolded: "You get out of the way!" Giving you face? You're the oldest! ”

Boss Chen saw it and knew that today's affairs were not something he could manage. There was no way, he had to retreat to the side and wait for Liu Tao to be beaten up by the group of people under Brother Bao.

At this moment, Liu Tao had already clenched his fists. If this was outside, he could still fight with the other party, but now in the private room, the space is too small, even if he wants to fight with the other party, he is probably not an opponent. What's more, there is Fan Wenjuan by his side, if he really makes a move, Fan Wenjuan will be injured if he can't keep it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the door curtain suddenly opened, and two middle-aged men wearing black suits and black sunglasses came in from outside. They didn't speak, they directly stepped forward and punched Brother Bao and the others, and then all of them fell to the ground. Then, the two of them carried two of them downstairs, and after a while, Brother Bao and the others had been thrown to the door of the hotel. After doing these things, the two middle-aged men also left, not knowing where they went.

Faced with this sudden help, Liu Tao's face was full of surprise. Originally, he was ready to fight with the other party, but he didn't expect that such two people would easily knock out Brother Bao and the others and throw them out, which was really eye-opening for him.

Boss Chen is even more so. He was still praying in his heart that there would not be a bloody scene, but he didn't expect it to happen.

As for Fan Wenjuan, she was not as surprised as they were, as if she knew the origin of the two uninvited guests.

"Boss, you tell the kitchen to serve quickly. Otherwise, we won't have time to eat. Fan Wenjuan looked at the time and said to Boss Chen.

Boss Chen was shouted by her, came back to his senses and nodded, and said, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go down and have a look." ”

When he left, Liu Tao sat down again and said to Fan Wenjuan: "It's really a hell of a day today, someone will come to help." ”

"It's nice to have someone to help. If you really fight, I'm afraid you'll be the one who suffers at that time. Fan Wenjuan smiled at him and said.

When Liu Tao heard her say this, he touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "This is true." There are so many people on the other side, plus they are all gangsters, if I really fight, I really won't be their opponent. ”

"According to me, you are young. Knowing that the other party is from the underworld, he still wants to provoke him. Fan Wenjuan glanced at him, with a hint of complaint in her tone, and then said, "Let's eat quickly." lest they come and make trouble again. ”

Seeing her say this, Liu Tao quickly nodded. In retrospect, he did act a little impulsively just now. After all, his current strength is still very weak, and if there is friction with the other party, he will be the one who suffers. But the thought that the old gentleman was going to teach him kung fu from tonight made his heart full of anticipation. If he had the same kung fu as the old man, when he faced these gangsters again, he would definitely repair them fiercely.

Soon, the meal was served. Fan Wenjuan and Liu Tao didn't speak, hurriedly finished eating, and then left the restaurant.
