Chapter Seventy-Nine: [Acting and Acting Failed]
The two sides seemed to say goodbye very cordially, Li Wenjing walked towards the hotel, and I was facing the direction, he saw me, slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Chen, hello!" I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
I immediately came back to my senses: "Mr. Li, you live here?" ”
Li Wenjing shrugged his shoulders very elegantly, and looked very personable: "No way, Miss Qiao Qiao seems to have some prejudices against me, Uncle Qiao asked me to live in his house, but I still don't think it's convenient, so I still came out to stay in the hotel......"
I immediately understood that it was probably because Jojo didn't give him a good face, but he was also interested. However, looking at his calm face, he didn't seem to be embarrassed at all, but smiled faintly: "It's good here, at least it's quite close to the city, I think it's very convenient......"
I nodded, politely coped with two sentences, and was about to say goodbye, but Li Wenjing suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, do you have time?" How about a cup of tea together? ”
I was stunned for a moment, Li Wenjing smiled very calmly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and looked very educated: "Those few people just now are some acquaintances in business...... I don't have any friends here, you and Jojo have a great relationship and I'd love to have a chance to talk to you. Even if it's just to make friends. ”
Make friends with you? I smiled bitterly in my heart, I'm afraid that Jojo will use a knife to cut me if he finds out!
However, Li Wenjing's smile in front of him seemed very sincere, and I was not very good at refusing immediately. After thinking about it, I heard him smile again: "Okay, Mr. Chen Yang, if it makes you very embarrassed, forget it...... I know. Jojo probably has a deep prejudice against me...... Actually, I just want to have a very honest chat with you. ”
"Okay." I nodded, "Let's find a place to sit down." ”
People have said that this is the part, and it is a bit too deliberate for me to refuse.
We walked into the café next to us, found a place to sit down, and I asked for a random cup of tea, while Li Wenjing simply asked for a glass of tequila.
"I'm used to having a small drink before bed, so maybe I can sleep better." Li Wenjing smiled just right: "I hope you don't think I'm a drunkard." ”
I have to admit that Li Wenjing is indeed a rather personable man, and he has a personal charm that is difficult to describe..."
There is a kind of person in this world who seems to be born to be eye-catching. There is naturally a singular charm on his body, no matter what circle he is in. will easily become the focus of attention, become the core figure, and will unconsciously affect the words and deeds of the people around them.
Obviously, Li Wenjing is also such a person. Originally, I was worried that I would have nothing to say to him, but it turned out that my worries were unnecessary!
He always seems to have an endless number of topics to talk about, and he can always find something to get the two to talk. More than half an hour passed. None of our chats were cold! He was very good at talking, very clever to introduce the topic, and then the two of them started a discussion, and I have to admit it again...... If Li Wenjing wasn't a "bastard" who came to try to marry Qiaoqiao, I would be quite happy to make friends with such a person.
"Chen Yang, when did you and Qiaoqiao meet?" Taking advantage of the gap between his words, he took a shallow sip of wine, and then asked the question as if at random.
"Well, it was about three years ago." I thought about it: "In a bar. Jojo is a very xìng girl. We get along very well...... Maybe most people will think that she is very difficult to get along with at first, but in fact, after spending a lot of time with her, you will find that she is actually a very good friend. ”
Li Wenjing nodded. "But I feel like she has a ...... for me." Well, hostility? ”
I smiled, thought about it, and said cautiously, "Mr. Li...... With all due respect...... I seem to have heard that you are here this time...... Is it for the family affairs of the two families? ”
Li Wenjing smiled: "Yes, you also know." That's right, my dad and Uncle Joe have a good relationship, so they really want me to be with Jojo...... Frankly, though, we're all young people...... If it's you, if your elders are blunt enough to shove a girl you don't even know in front of you, and then ask you to marry her...... This kind of thing may have been normal a few decades ago, but now...... I'm afraid you and I can't accept it. ”
My eyes lit up: "So...... Are you also resistant? ”
Li Wenjing smiled meaningfully: "Oh, Chen Yang...... You say 'too' and resist, it seems that I have found the reason for Jojo's hostility towards me. I was a little embarrassed, but Li Wenjing quickly smiled and continued: "Okay, we don't have to beat around the bush...... To be honest, I do have a sense of resistance...... You may be surprised...... I don't want to marry Jojo at all, not at all. ”
I couldn't help but sit up straight: "Really? ”
Li Wenjing shrugged his shoulders: "I have been educated in the West, and I am very disgusted with this kind of ...... in my bones Well, it should be called an arranged marriage...... God, what age is this? Why do the elders take it for granted that they can arrange our happiness in a lifetime? Jojo may be beautiful, or she may be a very nice girl, as you say...... But I really didn't feel it at all. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled wryly, "That's too much of a coincidence...... If you had said it earlier, I'm afraid Jojo wouldn't have ...... so much,
Li Wenjing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What is she going to do with me? Speaking of this, he smiled playfully: "She must have prepared some means, I'm also curious...... Actually, I have one thing to tell you...... There's a reason why I saw you tonight and asked you to come over and chat. ”
"What is the reason?"
Li Wenjing had an apologetic smile on his face: "That's the case...... Jojo called me a little while ago and asked me to come out and meet in the evening...... To be honest, I felt weird when I got a call from her. Because she said she was going to introduce a few friends to me...... I felt that she should be very hostile to me, and I couldn't figure it out. ”
My heart moved.
What does Jojo want to do? Could it be that the ......" operation has begun?
No, I can't! If it was something to do, how could she not tell me? How could you not ask me to join?
I almost subconsciously pulled out my phone. As a result, I froze after taking a look......
My phone, I don't know when it ran out of power and turned off!
I was thinking about how to talk to Li Wenjing, but I already saw the door of the café, Qiao Qiao held Aze, and the two of them appeared gorgeously......
Qiao Qiao wore a very stylish fur coat, and inside was a low-cut skirt of the wind sāo, and the high roots of the shoes had a look of high jīng straps to outline the perfect curve of the calf.
Aze next to him was wearing a gorgeous casual suit, no tie, and the shirt inside was printed with two buttons loosened at the neckline. On the wrist is an Omega watch...... It's the one endorsed by 007. The whole person looks personable and uninhibited!
A combination of these two totally handsome men and beautiful women. As soon as you walk in, it immediately attracts a lot of attention! And Qiao Qiao and Aze originally greeted Li Wenjing very gracefully, but when they saw me, to be honest, they were both stunned for a moment, but soon the three of us exchanged glances and quickly calmed down.
"Chen Yang." Qiao Qiao approached and didn't greet Li Wenjing first, but patted me on the shoulder: "Why can't your mobile phone get through?" I've been looking for you for one night! ”
I feel a pain in the shoulder being slapped on the shoulder by this woman! I wonder if she's going to slap me to death..."
"Hello, I'm Jojo's friend. Please call me Aze. Aze shook hands with Li Wenjing very gentlemanly, and Li Wenjing still smiled calmly: "Hello, Li Wenjing." ”
Qiao Qiao deliberately stood beside Aze, leaned very close to him, and said, "Okay, let's go out for a walk, it's so boring to drink tea here...... Li Wenjing, you are a guest from afar, let me take you to enjoy the nightlife here. ”
Li Wenjing immediately nodded: "It's okay." ”
The four of them walked out of the café. I didn't have a chance to whisper to Qiao Qiao and Aze, so I had to look at the two of them...... Unfortunately, neither of them could understand what I meant for a while. On the contrary, he desperately glared at me, probably to ask me why I was with Li Wenjing......
I got in the car all the way and drove to one of the city's more famous entertainment venues.
It's a street full of bars of all sizes, many of which are rich and well-off.
The four of us walked into a clubhouse-style venue, and as soon as the four well-dressed men and women entered, two polite waiters came to greet us.
This venue looks very quiet from the outside, decorated in Western style, very elegant, but when you walk in, go down to the underground hall, push open the door, and immediately there is deafening heavy metal music!
Passing through the crowd, the waiter led us into a private box, where there were already two or three people...... I took a look, and I knew all of them, they were all acquaintances who usually met with us in the bar, and they all had a good relationship, but they weren't as close as me, Qiaoqiao, Aze, and Wood.
Looking at these people, I immediately understood...... This is another Hongmen banquet that Qiaoqiao has made!
I wanted to talk to Qiaoqiao at the first time, but I didn't have a chance, and I wanted to take Aze to the toilet with me, but it was terrible...... This box has a separate small washroom......
Damn, I can't be in front of so many people, I'll hide in the toilet with two big men, Aze......
“ok!” Qiao Qiao laughed loudly: "Everyone is here!" Let's go! Then someone turned up the sound of the music, and the energetic music shook our eardrums, Li Wenjing's face remained unchanged, and he greeted a few people present in a measured manner, and then sat down and chatted with Aze.
Aze seems to have been prepared for a long time: "Mr. Li is from Nanyang?" ”
"Singapore." Li Wenjing said with a smile: "Our family is all Chinese, and we are half Chinese. ”
At this time, a friend next to him came over, and he deliberately rolled up his sleeves to reveal a tattoo on his arm, which was a green dragon...... I knew at a glance that it was not a tattoo, but a painted ......
And, looking at the fierce smile on his face, I know that this guy is playing the role that should have belonged to me...... Underworld.
Sure enough, he took a big bite of a bottle of beer: "Are you in business?" All right! What is the difficulty here, although I said it to my brother! Not to mention anything else, if there is a turnover problem in the business! Just look for me! ”
Li Wenjing smiled: "Oh? Do you work in a bank? ”
"It's not! Dude is a loan shark! That is, to make Indian money! This person seems to have good skills in memorizing lines, and his acting skills are not bad: "If you need funds, just look for me!" You're Jojo's friend, you're my friend! ”
Li Wenjing smiled faintly: "However, usury is illegal, right?" ”
"Cut, what are you afraid of!" The man looked very hanging, pointing to the top of his head: "There are people above me!" ”
No way...... I almost didn't squirt a sip of wine...... glanced at Qiaoqiao and thought, you won't even change your lines, right?
Li Wenjing was not surprised at all, and said with a faint smile: "So, how is the business of loan sharks in China?" ”
"That's good!" The friend grinned and said, "There are a lot of people who need quick money now!" We have a fair price, no need for a mortgage, but three points of profit, donkey rolling! Very well earned! ”
"Well,......" Li Wenjing thought for a while: "Then what should I do if I can't get my money back?" ”
"Dare!" The friend glared: "Lao Tzu doesn't eat dry rice!" The company raised a group of people, and they specialized in collecting accounts! Who would dare to owe money and not pay it back! A group of brothers went over and chopped off their hands and feet! Then splash paint on people's doors! Post scarlet letters! If you don't pay it back, you will block the door! Speaking of which, it was probably rehearsed in advance, and he looked back at Qiao Qiao with a careful look, and deliberately laughed loudly: "Qiao Qiao, last time I took you to the family's house, do you think it's fun?" ”
"It's fun!" Jojo laughed cooperatively.
Li Wenjing frowned, he seemed to lower his head and think about it, then raised his head, looked at the friend very seriously, and sighed: "This gentleman...... Can I give you a suggestion? ”
"Huh?" That friend was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Li Wenjing to have no radical reaction at all.
Li Wenjing had a heartfelt expression: "To be honest, I listened to your business and felt that there was a little suggestion for improvement......
"Uh...... This, you say......"
"That's right, there are many underground financial companies in Nanyang, and there are several underground financial companies in Hong Kong and Macao, and they also have a little business relationship with our family...... I feel like your company is a bit behind...... His tone was very sincere: "Now as a financial company, blindly using these means of force is outdated, even if it is Hong Kong's 'Hutchison', now it has adopted some new methods, what you said is the practice of the last century." Today's underworld associations have adopted some more effective means that do not violate the law. He actually took out a business card from his arms and handed it to the friend very sincerely:
"This is the phone number of Hong Kong's 'Hutchison' current leading talker, 'Brother Sheng', you can contact him, with my relationship, it should not be difficult for him to send two experts in this field to give your company some professional advice."
“…………!” The friend froze.
