After the feast.
I don't know why, after Man Hong took over the underworld business of the entire Sun family, she actually kept a low profile. Not only did he refuse to attend all kinds of banquets and gatherings, but even his daily life began to become secluded, as if the whole person had been erased. If she hadn't called Wang Jian suddenly, I'm afraid that relying on Wang Sanye's virtue of selective memory, she would have almost forgotten her.
However, although she is gone, the combination of her and Hu Lai, one white and one dark, actually made the Sun family, who had suffered heavy losses, rise to an unprecedented height. Not to mention the stocks of the Sun Group, which are red across the board, and they have also shifted from simple large-scale transportation to foreign outsourcing projects, which made a vigorous boil for a while, and the overall strength surpassed Li Jiacheng's Changhe Industry for the first time, and approached the Bangzi Star Group.
And not only that, Hu Lai also undertook a huge and unparalleled project during this time, that is, he cooperated with Daweijia to build the world's largest shipyard, and was received and rewarded by the leaders of the Celestial Empire.
Of course, compared to the scenery of Hu Lai, Man Hong seems obscure. But it would be a big mistake to treat her as obscure. She first monopolized pornography, gambling and drugs in the entire northwest, north and northeast, and then began to carry out all-round activities in Japan, almost forcing the old underworld Yamaguchi group to call the police, and finally took a temporary break because the front was too long and a little tight.
In the words of the Great Sage; The underworld is something that can't be cleaned. Since it can't be cleaned, it's better to concentrate them in the hands of one person, as long as she doesn't do something out of the ordinary. Good days await her.
Of course, to put it bluntly. Whether it's Hu Lai or Man Hong, they are all high-end workers. Needless to say, although he now has a high degree of autonomy, Sun Er is always behind him. And Man Hong has become a gun and a chess piece in the hands of the Great Sage, although he uses the name of the Sun family, but in fact, the backbone of it has long been exchanged for blood by the Great Sage, and it seems that the underworld is actually a member of the official family.
Wang Jian went to see Man Hong after lunch, because there was a martial arts conference in the evening, and now it was in a top white-hot state. The best players from all over the world are here, and this first bout is said to be the king of Muay Thai against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wang Jian is a hillbilly martial arts idiot, and of course he will not give up this good opportunity to watch the ceremony live.
So he chose to see Man Hong in the afternoon. Wang Sanye doesn't care if Manhong has time in the afternoon, it doesn't matter if he is free or not, after all, Sanye didn't take this person in his eyes from beginning to end, even when he was the most depressed.
After eating, Wang Jian patted his ass and walked towards the appointed place, wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Old-fashioned trousers with a banana popsicle in his hand. looks earthy and earthy, although he still looks a little bit good, but just looking at his dress, there are only a handful of girls on the street who look back at him.
"It's getting hotter."
Wang Jian walked into a flower shop, Man Hong was watering the flowers inside, his expression was cold and cold, and the hot day was as if it was about to freeze, which was not fun at all.
"Sit down first, I'll pour you tea." Man Hong put down the watering can in his hand. walked to the back and poured Wang Jian a cup of flower tea.
Wang Jian took a sip of the cup, he couldn't drink it at all, he drank most of the cup in one sip, and then raised his head and asked: "Boss Zhang is very powerful now, why did he suddenly think of opening a flower shop?" ”
"In the face of absolute power, what have I counted, have you looked at me with a straight eye?" Man Hong smiled: "I suddenly understood Lin Yaxuan's approach. It turns out that she is smarter than everyone else. ”
"I asked you to come today to ask you to help me persuade Brother Long." Man Hong's tone was quite sincere: "He's leaving." ”
"The monk is leaving?" Wang Jian was stunned: "He ......"
"It's useless for me to say anything." His red eyelids drooped and he was a little depressed: "He must go, he said that these are not what he wants." ”
Wang Jian actually didn't understand the monk's thinking. The rules and precepts are kept strictly, but when killed, they can be called fierce. Now that his childhood friend has returned to his side and the elementary school for the children has been built, he suddenly says this kind of "these are not the things he wants", so what does he want? A nuclear bomb to cool off?
"I know what you're thinking." Man Hong raised his eyes and looked at Wang Jian: "I can't understand him, and I can't understand you." You're all weirdos, so I think weirdos should be easy to communicate with each other. ”
"What's wrong with me?" Wang Jian was stunned: "My outlook on life and values are absolutely fine." ”
"Is there a problem with Brother Long? I don't think there should be, but ......" Man Hong was silent for a while: "I want to ask you to help me keep him, aren't you friends?" ”
Wang Jian thought for a while and stood up: "Where is he now?" ”
"Hokkeji Temple."
Without saying hello, Wang Jian turned his head and left, pushed open the door and strode into the scorching summer sun. And Man Hong looked at his back and said to himself: "It's also a weirdo." ”
And Wang Jian also came to the gate of Fahua Temple after reversing the bus three times. However, the little monk who guarded the door had to charge him a ticket...... This made Wang Jian really unhappy, although the ticket was only forty yuan...... But forty yuan was enough for Wang Jian's rations for a day.
After some disputes, Wang Jian finally did not waive the forty yuan ticket, but the little monk gave him a string of bracelets as a souvenir of the ticket, and a bowl of somen noodles as a discount for the ticket.
Wang Jian took the noodle ticket, did not look for a monk after entering, but went straight to the temple canteen, and then scooped up a big bowl of cold noodles, with cucumber and soybean sauce snorting and snorting down a big bowl, until he felt that it was worth the ticket price, then patted his stomach and walked outside and dragged a little monk who was sitting under the tree and dozing off and asked, "Have you seen a monk?" ”
The little monk was excited: "I am!" ”
Wang Jian suddenly felt that he was much more stupid, patted his head and said, "It's a male monk." ”
"The woman's name is a nun." The little monk squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Jian: "Donor, are you here to kick the field?" ”
Wang Jian was silent for a while, and then described: "A monk." He doesn't eat meat, and he doesn't eat garlic. More than 1.8 meters, quite handsome, and his kung fu is very powerful. ”
"What do you think of me? I don't eat meat either, I don't eat garlic. More than 1.8 meters, I think I'm quite handsome. The little monk jumped back and took a pose: "Kung Fu is also very strong!" ”
He posed this way, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly cooled to freezing point. It's not that Wang Jian is ignorant...... The main thing is that he really doesn't know what the monk's name is, and generally in the monk's temple, they are called by the Dharma name. But Wang Jian didn't remember the monk's Dharma name, and when it came to Xiaolong, these guys definitely didn't know either......
"Alright...... New monks, are there any? ”
"I only arrived yesterday and no one is more updated than me." The little monk nodded very sincerely: "Donor, you are sick, it's useless to worship the Buddha, go to the hospital and prescribe some medicine." ”
"Huineng, you're looking for me."
A voice came from behind Wang Jian. The little monk tilted his head: "Ah, Uncle Bajie!" ”
Wang Jian let out a long sigh. Then he smiled stupidly: "Yes, Bajie ......"
Then Wang Jian turned his head: "Monk, you are quite high." ”
"It's okay." The monk smiled: "Come to my meditation room." ”
Follow the monk to his meditation room, and find that this place is really simple, a room of seven or eight square meters, a mat, a small tea table and a few cups on it, a small TV and a small electric fan, in addition to this, I am afraid that the only thing that can be regarded as furniture is a hot water bottle.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the room, which seemed to be refreshing. After taking off his shoes and entering the house, the monk poured Wang Jian a cup of tea. The two of them sat on the floor.
"She invited you, didn't she?" The monk smiled a little helplessly: "No need to persuade me, I will definitely go." ”
Wang Jian lay on the ground, his hands on his head: "I'm thinking, why are you leaving." ”
"It's too much to do, and if it goes on like this, I can't go back." The monk took a deep breath: "My name is Bajie." It's the Master who said that my heart is unstable, and let me always remember it. ”
Wang Jian snorted: "This is a good reason, but it's a bit hypocritical." ”
"Then be hypocritical." The monk smiled: "So what? ”
Wang Jian sat up and stared at the monk's eyes: "Monk." I ask you. What is the most important thing for monks like you? ”
"Fate." The monk thought for a moment: "A qiē casual." ”
"And what do you think of martial arts?" Wang Jian asked: "I don't know, don't expect me to give you an answer." I just wanted to hear your understanding. ”
"Probably ......" The monk was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"yes, you don't know." Wang Jian lay on the small coffee table and looked at the monk: "My father said that people can only follow the road for the rest of their lives." I can probably understand this, and it is exactly the same as what you said. ”
"What kind of Tao is this?" The monk's eyes opened.
"See you understand." Wang Jian smiled: "Anyway, I think you are going the opposite way now, going farther and farther." ”
"How?"
Wang Jian stood up, walked to the window and lit a cigarette: "It turns out that you are the same as me, you can only see yourself." ”
"I want to hear about it." The monk's thirst for knowledge and curiosity are definitely not any less than Wang Jian's, and he asked, "Please tell me." ”
"You always talk about going with the flow, but why do you want to go?"
The monk was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a moment.
"After all, don't you want to shirk responsibility?" Wang Jian turned his head and glanced at the monk: "It's the same as when I was at the beginning, using various reasons to excuse myself and putting myself in the position of a victim." What beliefs and precepts are actually. Doesn't Buddhism also say that the common people are the foundation. Don't bully me for being uneducated, I graduated from a serious class, and I still have a little bit of dialectical thinking. As for why I said you only see yourself, think about it, I'm waiting for you here, watch the game together in the evening, and I'll eat a bowl of noodles, it tastes good. ”
After speaking, he ignored the monk, went straight to the kitchen, and even deceived the little monk who managed the noodles to get him a big bowl, and when he returned to the meditation room with the noodles, the monk actually settled down...... Wang Jian had to admire the monk, he originally thought that he was stupid enough, but he didn't expect to compare with the monk, it was really a mountain and a mountain high, these three poles can't make a fart, it's really not something that ordinary people can have.
But there is no trick, the monk wants to let him think, just eat and drink enough to sleep in this clean and cool meditation room. It's actually quite pleasant.
Then, Wang Jian, the guy who did what he said, really finished eating noodles and lay down and began to sleep. The monk sat next to him and meditated with his eyes closed...... Of course, whether he can figure it out or not, this has nothing to do with whether Wang Jian sleeps or not, anyway, Wang Jian has said everything, and if he can't help but leave, then he can only let him go.
When the red sunset slanted on Wang Jian's face, he slowly sat up from the ground and stretched his waist. But this lazy waist stretched so much that he almost choked to death. The daring monk has been staring at him with his eyes all the time. The eyes were straight and hooked, like wood carvings, and the eyes were blank and unfocused.
"Monk! You're not going crazy, are you? Wang Jian shook the monk: "No, don't think about it if you can't figure it out." I don't think about it, I'm afraid I'll go crazy. ”
"Well, yes." The monk smiled: "Me and the world, me and countless mes." You are me, he is me, so who am I? It's complicated. ”
"The young man has a good understanding!" Wang Jian patted the monk's shoulder: "Okay." Listen to me, if you really want to go with the flow. Let go of your baggage. What you are pursuing, you don't know yourself, what are you still pretentious. ”
The monk was silent......
When Wang Jian returned to Man Hong's flower shop with the monk, the vase in Man Hong's hand was smashed with a bang, and then he pushed Wang Jian away regardless of Qi Qi and hugged the monk. The former evil overlord suddenly turned into a deep resentful woman, and Wang Jian looked at the strength of not giving it away......
"I'm going to watch the game, you guys play slowly."
Wang Jian didn't say much. Turn away. And Man Hong kissed the monk deeply beside him, and the scene was simply unsightly......
"I'm really not ashamed." Wang Jian bought another popsicle, and while walking, he thought about the scene of the monk kissing Man Hong in the house, and he shuddered.
While walking, suddenly a voice stopped Wang Jian from behind: "Teacher Wang! ”
As soon as Wang Jian turned his head, a black shadow pounced on him. made him hurriedly retreat, and only after holding the black shadow with both hands did he see that it was the eldest sister He Rui......
"Why are you here?"
"I just came back in the afternoon! I'm going to look for you. They say you're out playing. He Rui hugged Wang Jian's arm, and kept rubbing his face on it: "I want to kill you." ”
Wang Jian felt that He Rui's face was hot and slippery, which made him tremble again, and he hurriedly pushed He Rui away: "Don't make ...... trouble"
"I brought you a gift. I'll give it to you tomorrow! He Rui shook Wang Jian's arm, like a coquettish girlfriend: "Where are you going, take me to play!" ”
"Go and watch the game. Are you okay if you don't go home? ”
"I'll call my dad and say it's good to be with you." He Rui smiled: "What about Jin Huiming?" ”
"She's got something to do."
"What about Teacher Mother Wang?"
"She's gone to stay with her dad."
He Rui was stunned for a moment, and then screamed loudly: "Long live!" Just the two of us that night! ”
Wang Jian looked at his watch and said embarrassedly: "Probably ......"
"I'm so happy." He Rui hurriedly grabbed Wang Jian's arm: "Let's go, let's go watch the game!" It's my first time dating someone of the opposite sex! ”
Wang Jian's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only let the eldest sister in the class drag him forward.
After sitting in the gymnasium, He Rui's good mood was instantly destroyed, and she pouted with a look of indignation, as if the whole world owed her millions.
"Come on, eat popcorn." Li Nuo handed He Rui a bag of popcorn from the back seat: "I just bought it, it's still hot." ”
"Eldest sister, you won't say hello to your brothers when you come back, let's go and roll out the red carpet for you." Cheng Hui, who was sitting next to He Rui, said with a hippie smile: "Shall we go camping in a few days?" ”
"He Rui He Rui, why did you come with Teacher Wang." Liu Xuezhu blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked ignorantly, "Did you meet at the door?" ”
"Don't make a fuss, it's time to start. Tonight is the first episode of the second season, a wonderful opening ceremony! Zhao Feng waved his hand: "It is said that the Thai master is fighting the Brazilian master, but both of them are so dark...... How do you tell who's who? ”
"He Rui, you don't seem to be happy." Zhang Manting ate popcorn and pushed He Rui: "Is there something on your mind?" ”
He Rui turned her head and glanced at her blankly: "You don't know how much I hate you now." ”
"Oh! Huang Weilong, Huang Yue! Here and here! Hu Jun stood up and covered He Rui's words with a very loud voice......
"What? What did you just say? Zhang Manting stretched out her head: "I didn't hear clearly." ”
He Rui said angrily: "It's okay! ”
And Lao Wang, who was sitting next to her, was spitting on his students as a commentator: "Muay Thai belongs to the fierce school, and any part of the body can be turned into a weapon." The most powerful thing about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is its ability to maintain balance, which looks like a dance, but in fact, it includes wrestling, kicking, pinching, moving, twisting, holding, etc., which is a highly sensitive fighting skill. Both sides are very ornamental, but this ticket is more than 500 yuan, where did you get the money? ”
"We're all making money!" Li Nuo laughed: "Zhao Feng and I took an order from an embassy, and we earned almost 10,000 yuan in half a month!" Zhang Manting worked in the hospital and earned more than 800. The most should be Liu Xuezhu, right? Xuezhu, how much money did you make? ”
"Not much...... I just earned my college tuition. Liu Xuezhu grinned: "A little more than 30,000...... Because it doesn't cost me, I'm the most advantageous. ”
"It's all good!" Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction: "What about Huang Yue?" ”
Huang Yue, who was wearing sunglasses and looked like a star, was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said softly: "Four...... Four hundred thousand. ”
"I'll go! You kid sells his ass! Zhao Feng hooked Huang Yue's neck with his hand: "Recruit from the truth!" ”
"No, no ......" Huang Yue waved his hand: "I took three advertisements, and other big stars can be tens of millions." ”
As he was talking, the opening bell jingled, and the audience was instantly silent, quietly waiting for the grand occasion of the first opening battle.
