Chapter 65
After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the phone booth, passed by a roadside convenience store, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall inside.
It's about five o'clock now.
Yang Wei said that she would drive to pick me up, but even if it was fast, it would take an hour.
No way, Shanghai is too big, and the traffic situation is terrible.
Just after the summer, the sun was still setting late in the early autumn, and now there were more and more pedestrians, and I realized that I was a little glaring: my clothes were crumpled, and there were blood stains on my shirt inside! What's more, the coat on my body was taken from Xiao Xuan's car indiscriminately, it should belong to the second master, my figure, wearing too small, clothes tightly stretched on my body, how do I look like it was stolen, plus I dodge and dodge, like a homeless man.
I walked a few steps along the small road and saw a public toilet at the intersection, so I quickly ran in, washed my face and hands vigorously on the edge of the pool, and then injected some hand sanitizer, relying on the smell of hand sanitizer, barely covering up the smell of blood on my body.
I was tempted to take off my shirt because I was worried that I would attract attention when I walked down the street, in case I would attract a patrolling jǐng cha...... There was blood all under my coat, so I couldn't tell.
What's more...... I don't believe in the jǐng cha here! I know very well that a deep-rooted old underworld force like Qinghong must be inextricably linked to the local jǐng side! I'm not afraid of jǐng cha, but once I get entangled in jǐng cha, then I'm worried before my people find me. Qinghong will come over as if a shark smelled blood!
Digging into my pocket, I pinched the credit card and money that Xiaoxuan had left for me, and walked out of the public toilet.
After washing it up, I don't look so scruffy and homeless anymore. Seeing a small clothing store in front of me, I thought about it for a while, walked over a few steps, pushed the door and entered......
It's a small, medium-sized jīng clothing store, and it's clear that business isn't doing well at this time, and there are only two customers in the small store plus me.
I pretended to look at the clothes on the shelves and picked out a random shirt, but the only sales lady in the store didn't bother me because another middle-aged man was pestering her to ask for the price of a leather coat.
I took the opportunity to take the shirt and dodge into the locker room, quickly changed it myself, then took off the bloody shirt in a ball, found a plastic bag to wrap it, and then tore off the price tag on my body.
When I walked out of the locker room, I randomly took another coat on the shelf, compared it, the size was just right, and no matter what style and style looked good, I just tore off the price sign on it and put it on.
After changing my clothes, I felt a little more relaxed.
At this time, the sales lady was still haggling with the middle-aged man. But it seemed that the sales lady was a little impatient, she turned her back to me, leaned on a shelf casually, and let the middle-aged man look left and right with the leather coat, but she looked lazy.
I know that although summer has just passed, there are many clothing stores that deliberately sell some out-of-season clothes at low prices, and many people like to choose this kind of bargain.
I have to say that this sales lady is very incompetent. Because the sales ladies in the stores I know are the ones who can blow the goods they sell to the sky, and then fool the customers into a daze and finally obediently take out their wallets. And this sales lady dragged it indecently, leaning lazily, talking without a match.
The middle-aged man didn't look like he had any money, otherwise he wouldn't have come to buy this kind of cheap inventory that was sold out of season on such a hot day.
"Miss, is this the size I wear?"
"How big are you wearing?"
"XL, huh...... Sometimes, l is fine. ”
"No, that's it."
"Hmm...... Can the price be cheaper? ”
The sales lady didn't even bother to say anything this time, and casually pointed to a sign next to her: "Promotional products, refuse to bargain." ”
The middle-aged man pinched and pinched on this leather coat: "What kind of leather is this?" ”
"Rabbit skin."
"Hmm...... So, is this garment waterproof? Will it get wet on a rainy day? ”
The young lady finally got angry, stood up straight, and quickly threw a sentence: "Have you ever seen a rabbit with an umbrella on a rainy day!" ”
......The middle-aged man was so choked that he couldn't speak, and angrily threw down his clothes and turned around.
The sales chick turned her head and didn't seem to look at me much, and said quickly: "Two hundred and eight shirts, four hundred coats." ”
I finally saw this very dragged sales chick clearly, and when she turned around, I was about to speak, but I was stunned!
The delicate and lovely little face, with a hint of coquettishness, especially the appearance of staring eyes, and a bit of the taste of a savage girlfriend, with one hand on the waist, with a hint of fierceness on his face, but his eyes did not look at me, but looked at the wall clock on the wall: "Hurry up, pay if you want to buy, take it off if you don't buy it, I'm going to get off work." ”
Depend on! Is there such a drag sales chick?
But I didn't get angry at all about this girl, but looked at her carefully several times, and then suddenly smiled.
I smiled happily, happily, and with a bit of surprise.
"Little money fan!" I looked at her: "Ah Mei? Are you Ah Mei? How did you end up here? ”
I blurted out, she was suddenly startled, and then she turned her eyes to me, looked carefully for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!! It's you? ”
The girl in front of me is not the private caretaker beside me at the beginning, who is the little wealth fan?
Ah Mei was wearing a sales lady's clothes, a white shirt and a short skirt, with a little makeup on her face, her hair tied up, and when she looked at it, she looked a little more charming, but her eyes still revealed that kind of brutal and playful aura.
She stared at me as if she was so surprised that she didn't say a word after an "ah" just now. I approached her, raised my hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and smiled, "Silly? Still don't know me anymore? ”
"You, you, you...... You...... Chen yang!? Ah Mei rubbed her eyes vigorously, as if she finally dared to believe that it was indeed me standing in front of her, and her face showed a surprised expression little by little.
"Of course it'...... me," I looked at her with a smile, "why are you here?" Aren't you in private care? Why did you come here to sell clothes? ”
"Don't mention it!" Ah Mei sighed, looking helpless, but then stared at me for a while, rolled her eyes, smiled, and said, "Great, I didn't expect to see you here." Let's take a walk and eat together in the evening...... Ah, no......"
She suddenly took a step back, looked at me cautiously, and couldn't help but say, "I remember that you seem to be developed now." Well, I've read the newspapers, and you're a rich man now, so why did you come to me? ”
I laughed: "What rich people...... If I have money, it won't be me? ”
Ah Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's right, Chen Yang I know is a good man who is willing to give me food and live for nothing." ”
After saying that, she came over with a grin, but grabbed my arm: "Let's go, let's eat." ”
I glanced at the store: "You...... Don't have to work anymore? ”
"Cut! Originally, today was my last day on the job, and I won't do it tomorrow! Now that I've met you, I'm off work early for a strike! ”
I smiled wryly: "It's rare to see a sales lady like you...... Just now you made a guest who came to the door angry, and your boss didn't care? ”
"Cut!" Ah Mei raised two eyebrows, and his face was full of sorrow: "That old sè ghost!" Hmph, he always wants to take advantage of me, and this afternoon, he dared to touch me while I was bending over to sort out the shelves! I kicked him hard, and I'm still in the hospital. There was also a girl colleague here who took him to the hospital. ”
I shook my head: "Such a boss, what are you still doing here?" ”
"No way...... Ah Mei sighed and shrugged her shoulders: "I owe him money." When I paid the rent before, I asked him for a month's salary advance. I don't have the money to pay him back, so I can only work here for a month, pay back my salary, and I can leave. Today...... Alas, I hit him today, and I guess he will trouble me again when he comes back in the evening......
She suddenly glanced at me and said a little wryly: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm really embarrassed to tell you this when we first met...... But you seem to be rich now...... Can you lend me a thousand dollars? I owe this sè ghost boss a month's salary, but I only endured it for half a month, and now I still owe him half a month's salary, I originally wanted to endure it, but today I couldn't bear it, I beat him...... When he comes back, he will definitely trouble me about money. "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]
I laughed, immediately took the money out of my pocket, counted it, and handed her a thousand out of the cash that Xiao Xuan gave me.
"Great! Thank you, Little Five! Ah Mei smiled widely, but she didn't forget to say to me very seriously: "I will definitely pay you back next month!" ”
With that, she put the money on the counter and took out a bunch of keys and pressed it on. I smiled and added a few hundred yuan, and pointed to the clothes on my body: "Well, this money will also be given." ”
Ah Mei pulled me out of the store, then locked the door, this time with a sigh: "zìyóu!" Finally zìyóu! ”
"You can go now?" I frowned: "You put the money on the counter, what if that boss comes back and says that he didn't receive your money?" ”
"Cut! With you, if he cheats, you can be a witness for me. Ah Mei raised an eyebrow. After a pause, she said quickly: "My Ah Mei does things with my own conscience!" Even if I don't care about this boss and leave on his monthly salary, what can he do with me? Can you still sue me in court? This kind of thing, when ordinary people encounter it, they think they are unlucky. Although I am stingy, you say that I am a fan of small money, but I will not be greedy for money that is not my own! The reason why I grit my teeth and continue to work here is because I must pay back his money! ”
I sighed.
Indeed, this is the most standard of Ah Mei's xìng grid.
Although she is a girl like a small money fan who is careful about budgeting, she even helped me and the property company cut the rent price, bargained with the taxi driver, and even helped me with housework with a cunning "clear price", as if she was a very materialistic and greedy girl. But she is very principled, not her own money, and she will never be greedy. Especially for a young and beautiful girl like her, as a private caretaker, she must have met a lot of rich people, and many people beat her up for her idea, but she rejected it.
In a sentence that Ah Mei himself said, that is: The little woman loves money, but she takes it in a good way!
When I won the lottery jackpot and wanted to give her money, she firmly refused.
"It's been so long, and you haven't changed." I smiled.
"What about you?" Ah Mei heard what I said, but suddenly glanced at me and said slowly: "Have you changed?" ”
I was stunned, as if I saw something complicated in Ah Mei's eyes, but she quickly smiled and looked at me easily: "You're with Yan Di now, right?" I'll tell you, Little Five. You are a flowery man, you must not let Yan Di down! If you bully her...... I ......"
"What about you?"
Ah Mei sighed and pouted: "What can I do?" I'm a little woman. I can't beat you, and if you have no money or power, you can't help Yan Di take revenge...... Most...... Up to ......"
"At most, what?"
"Humph!" Ah Mei gave me a vicious look: "At most, I'll go back and get a picture of you, and then hang it on the wall, and use it every day to practice flying knives!" ”
Me: "......"
As we talked, I dragged her deliberately under a large tree behind a safety island on the side of the road, avoiding pedestrians on the street.
"What's wrong with you?" Ah Mei looked at me and seemed to be different: "Sneaky, as if he was hiding from someone." ”
"If I told you, I'm being hunted right now. Do you believe it? I smiled wryly.
"Cut, I don't believe it!" Ah Mei pursed her lips, and then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I know! You're a celebrity now! Isn't it worried that you will be recognized by your fans! Well, you're super famous now! I've watched entertainment news, and you're making headlines in the United States! ”
Xiao Nizi felt in her bag for a while, but found a pair of sunglasses and handed them to me: "Take it, put it on!" lest they be recognized. ”
I was stunned for a moment, looking at the lady's sunglasses in my hand, I even recognized that these sunglasses were actually a style of a world-famous brand...... Of course, this is not true, but a counterfeit bargain.
Ah Mei was originally teasing me. But I hesitated slightly, and actually put on my sunglasses. Ah Mei couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you really wearing it?" Oh, my God...... You can't really be hiding from someone, are you? ”
I smiled, didn't speak, thought about it, and said, "Ah Mei, don't joke with you...... Originally, we were old friends, and I was glad to see you. And...... I think Yan Di would be very happy if she knew that I had met you. Alas, what you don't know, you have been cut off from us since then, and Yan Di often thinks of you. But I really have something to do today...... Well, I'll tell you now, and you don't believe it either...... You're in danger with me right now. My enemies are looking for me. My friend was about to pick me up. If my enemies find me before my friends find me, you'll be unlucky! ”
Ah Mei's eyes widened, and she looked at me stunned: "You...... Have you messed with someone you can't mess with? ”
"Leave me your number." I didn't answer her question, and said with a smile: "When I go back, the matter is settled, I'll look for you, and we'll get together again then." ”
Ah Mei hesitated, but with a very concerned expression: "What trouble are you really in?" Aren't you very rich now? ”
"Doesn't the rich have no enemies?" I saw that she didn't leave, and I was a little anxious, so I wanted to scare and scare her: "I offended the underworld!" If someone catches me, I'm done. And you will also be unlucky, be careful of being killed first! ”
"Ahh Ah Mei screamed, looking at her expression, it seemed that she was about to run away on the spot, but she finally gritted her teeth and looked left and right, looking sneaky: "What should you do?" Just wait here? This is the main road, what if someone finds out? ”
"My friend was able to get here in about an hour. I sat behind a shaded tree for an hour, thinking that it would be fine. ”
"Alas!" Ah Mei hesitated. sighed: "That's it, I have lived by your side for so long, and I always owe you a big favor!" Come with me, and hide where I live. After a pause, she raised her hand and pointed not far away, "Do you see that neighborhood?" The house I rented was right there. ”
Looking in the direction of her finger, I couldn't help but be stunned.
What such a coincidence!
The residential community she was referring to was actually the place where Xiao Xuan sent me to park a while ago.
"I live there, and since you're so dangerous now, how can I leave you on the road! You and I can go back. In my home, it's safer. Ah Mei sighed.
I hesitated and nodded.
Indeed, it is really unsafe for me to wander outside like this, even if the people in Qinghong do not notice me...... But you know, I'm a celebrity now!! I don't know how many newspaper headlines and TV shows I've been on this face! It would be bad if passers-by recognized me and watched and caused some trouble.
Since Ah Mei lives nearby, let's go to her house and sit for a while, and then call Yang Wei. Let her drive the car directly to the door of the residential complex, which is also safer.
After I nodded, Ah Mei pulled me back.
It's an old-fashioned residential complex, and the apartment buildings in it are the kind of old buildings that were built in the 80s. There is definitely no greening and property management in the community, and it can't even be counted as a "community" in the real sense. It's just that there is a fence around the outside of several old residential buildings, and a big iron gate is made at the exit, and there is no community security in the small room next to it, but an old man is invited to guard the door. When we entered, the old man at the door sat in a chair and listened to the radio, without even looking at us.
Ah Mei lives in the innermost building, and we walked all the way into the community. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then returned to a little normal, telling me that she had lived here for a year, and that she had been looking for a job outside, but then she lost her job, and she accidentally found that the small clothing store near where she lived was recruiting, so she temporarily went to work as a sales lady. Who knew the boss was a sè ghost......
I listened to Ah Mei chirping in my ear, walking in the dark and narrow corridor, there was a smell of cháo wet and moldy, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Ah Mei, why did you run away?" Alas......"
Actually, after I ran away, Ah Mei was with Yan Di at the beginning. Fang Nan took care of them for a while, and then Qiao Qiao took them away.
Originally, when Fang Nan took care of Yan Di and them, he even asked Yan Di and Ah Mei to temporarily work in Deep Blue Entertainment Company. But later, I don't know why, Ah Mei later left. Just over two years ago, after Qiaoqiao found me, after the news was brought back to China, Yan Di and Qiaoqiao went to Canada to find me together.
At that time, Ah Mei was still with Yan Di. But she didn't go to Canada with Yan Di. Later, I left alone with a few friends in Nanjing without even saying hello. I didn't want to work, I didn't live in the house, I packed my luggage and left quietly.
Oh, by the way, after she left, only then Aze once received a call from her. On the phone, Ah Mei didn't say where she went, she just said that she went to find relatives at home, and she didn't say anything specific.
Yan Di and Ah Mei lost contact, and they were very sad for a while, after all, the two were very good friends. But at that time, Yan Di was by my side, knowing that I was busy with my career and working hard, and there were many troubles entangling me, Yan Di didn't want me to be distracted, so he kept it in his heart all the time.
It was a big surprise to be able to meet Ah Mei here today.
Looking at this dark tube building, I couldn't help but sigh: "Ah Mei...... Why? Why did you leave in the first place? ”
Not to mention anything else, if she is willing to continue to work in Fang Nan's company. Deep Blue Entertainment Company pays employees a very high salary, and even provides employees with a place to live, and the treatment is quite good, how can it not let Ah Mei live in this kind of place now.
After I asked this sentence, Ah Mei seemed to be silent for a while, she went upstairs silently, and said lightly after a while: "I don't know anything, I learned nursing, and I can only take care of and serve people." When I went to work in a company, I didn't understand anything and couldn't do it. That job, such a high salary, I know that others gave it to me for your face...... I, I don't like the feeling of being under a fence. ”
I was silent.
Indeed, this girl is so eccentric, as if she is greedy for money, but she is very strong.
Although she said that she lived in my house for nothing, she had always worked hard to help Yan Di with housework.
"A little woman loves money, but she takes it in a proper way!" Ah Mei puffed up his chest, then suddenly blushed, and pointed to a dilapidated iron security door in front of him: "It's here." ”
This is a very old-fashioned tube building, the layout is very old, and after going up the stairs, there is a long, long corridor aisle. There are six households on each floor, but there is only one washroom and one kitchen, which are shared.
I lived in such a building for a while when I was still serving dishes in a nightclub as a junior brother.
But it's really inconvenient for a single girl to live in this kind of place where even the toilet is public - it's really hard for this little girl.
Ah Mei embarrassedly took out the key to open the door.
Pushing open the door, the house was very small, only one room, about a dozen square meters, with a bed in it, a small dining table, and a water bottle on the floor.
The room is very clean, after all, she is from a nursing background, and Ah Mei is still very fine in doing housework. The narrow room was arranged by her, not only did she not feel cramped, but it had a little more warmth of the girl's boudoir.
The sheets and curtains of the pink sè are cheap at first glance, but they are obviously selected by jīng's heart, and the face sè and the pattern are very harmoniously matched.
There are a few cheap little ornaments hanging on the wall, which at first glance have a bit of the warm smell of a girl's home. There is also a simple wardrobe next to it, on which there is also a rabbit doll with long ears.
The floor was clean, and the bedding was folded cleanly.
"No need to change slippers." Ah Mei seemed to be not inferior to her little house, but very proud: "How is it? My home is good, right? For such an area, I have been killing the landlord for a long time! The rent is so low that I almost wake up smiling when I sleep at night! ”
At this moment, Ah Mei's face no longer has the slightest look of a little wealth, but with a calm and satisfied girl's joy, she happily closed the door, and then said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, the place is too small, there is no chair, you just sit on the bed...... I usually sit in bed and eat. ”
I sat down, and was about to praise her, but suddenly I saw a row of clothes racks hanging under the windowsill, hanging under the curtains, and I was stunned......
Oh, my God...... Belch...... That's a row of girls' underwear!
No wonder people say, don't rush into a girl's house!
Two bras, pink sè, light yellow sè, the style is quite xìng sense...... Especially a pair of pink sè small panties, cotton ...... Well, on the front of the panties, there's also a Winnie the Pooh...... There was also a pair of small red sè panties, the size of my palm...... It's still a thong!
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, Ah Mei had already noticed my gaze, and I screamed "Ah", and suddenly my face was full of punishment, and I ran over and quickly ripped off all my underwear, and then stuffed it all under the quilt on the bed. Then he turned to look at me and glared, "What do you see!" ”
Ah Mei and I are naturally very familiar with each other, and I know that at this time, I must not continue to talk to this little pepper, otherwise I will definitely be kicked! So I quickly turned my face away and pretended to admire the baby bunny on the closet.
