waited until the strong man left, and Tian Jiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

looked at the old woman in front of her and said, "I like this hairpin very much, how much money I bought it." Originally, it was to avoid the strong man and prevent the other party from discovering her, but she stood in front of other people's stalls like this, and Tian Jiyao was embarrassed to turn around and leave.

picked a hairpin that looked good and paid for it, and Tian Jiyao slowly walked into the dart game.

"Little lady, if you need anything, I can introduce it to you." As soon as he came in, someone received Tian Jiyao, and the service attitude was not bad.

Tian Jiyao gathered his thoughts, took out the letter, and said, "I need to send a letter out here, I don't know if you will accept it or not?" ”

"Pick up, of course pick up, the little lady only sends a letter, and there is no other need?" The young man did not disdain Tian Jiyao's words, but became more and more enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Tian Jiyao shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, oh, by the way, is that eldest brother also your guest here?" I don't know who he is, but he doesn't look ordinary. ”

"Hey, that's our boss." The young man said with a smile.

Hearing the young man's words, Tian Jiyao was surprised and felt a little incredible, and then said quietly: "No wonder it looks so extraordinary, there is so much traffic here, and the location is good, it would be nice if I could open a shop near here." ”

"You're right, doing business around here, as long as you have the skills, there will definitely be no problem with making a living." The young man said with a smile.

Tian Jiyao nodded, she had inspected this, and this point could not be faked.

"Little brother, what do you say if I open a tea shop around here, this person comes and goes, it must be easy to sell." Tian Jiyao asked jokingly, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "It's a pity that I'm just an outsider, I don't have a way to do this, and it's difficult to do business nearby." ”

Tian Jiyao's words revealed that he wanted to do business nearby, but he had no way.

With such an obvious temptation, Tian Jiyao didn't believe that this person couldn't understand her words, but she didn't know how much information she could find.

Looking at the lively street outside the door, the loss on his face is self-evident.

When the young man heard her words, he saw that she looked lost, so he took a closer look and said, "Little lady, if you want to open a shop and do business in this neighborhood, you must pay the road money, or you will think about it." ”

Hearing the young man's words, Tian Jiyao's eyes were stunned for a while, and he asked puzzledly, "Why?" Isn't it true that as long as you have the ability, you can open your own store? ”

"It's not okay to do business in this place without a way, it's easy to be targeted." The young man shook his head and said.

Tian Jiyao frowned, and said unwillingly: "How is this good?" I'm thinking of opening a store near here. "I was so nervous that I was afraid of showing my feet.

Seeing Tian Jiyao's ignorant look, the young man shook his head and said, "The little lady really wants to do business? ”

"Of course, the location in this neighborhood is so good, it will definitely make money." Tian Jiyao responded without thinking about it.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the young man said, "Did the boss of our dart bureau know about that person just now?" ”

Tian Jiyao nodded and asked puzzledly, "Well, why does this matter still have something to do with your boss?" ”

Thinking of everything yesterday, Tian Jiyao was not sure, but she already had a guess in her heart.

"This street is the most prosperous in this neighborhood, and it is also the most suitable for small business, it is our boss's territory, if you want to mix in the neighborhood, you must listen to our boss, otherwise you can't eat and walk around." The young man looked proud, as if he were the boss here.

Hearing the young man's words, Tian Jiyao's heart suddenly changed, is this collecting protection money?

This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be protection fees?

Looking at the way the lad looks, it's not a strange thing, maybe even an instinctive operation?

This made Tian Jiyao a little unacceptable.

Tian Jiyao looked confused and asked, "Huh?" What does that mean? ”

"What do you mean? Of course, it means on the surface, if you want to open a store in this neighborhood, you have to pay rent, whether the store is bought or rented by you, you must give our boss a protection fee, otherwise the boss will take someone to smash your store and forcibly drive people away. ”

The young man was talking with starry eyes, and he didn't notice the strangeness of Tian Jiyao on the side.

This really confirmed the conjecture in her heart, these people are really too much, is there no one to take care of them? As for the people in the government, do they all eat dry rice and don't do anything?

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but she forcibly suppressed it and said, "No, you guys are a dart game here, aren't you afraid of being targeted by the people of the government when you go to beat people?" That's against the law. ”

"This is the strength of our boss, our dart game, on the surface, is a dart game, but in fact it is specifically set up for this, and the dart game is just a show." The young man said with a pout.

Tian Jiyao was shocked in her heart, so in order to collect protection money, she deliberately set up a dart game?

It's incredible.

Seeing her confused look, the young man continued: "With the boss here, those customers can only go to the store where the rent has been paid to buy things, and those who have not paid the rent must not go, otherwise they will wait to look good." ”

After listening to the young man's words, Tian Jiyao's face was full of disbelief, and she was more puzzled.

There are a lot of stalls nearby, how can passers-by know which one has paid and which one has not?

Wouldn't it be terrible if you went to the wrong place?

Thinking like this, Tian Jiyao asked the doubts in her heart, "Then how can you tell if those shops have paid rent?" Thinking of what happened these days, Tian Jiyao had a doorway in his arms.

Although she is new, passers-by can't tell if she has paid the rent, right?

The young man glanced at her and said, "Want to know?" ”

"Think, little brother, tell me about it." Tian Jiyao urged.

At this time, Tian Jiyao was so anxious that she couldn't do it, sure enough, there was a doorway here, but she didn't know what it was, and the person in front of her must have known it, and suddenly Tian Jiyao felt that she hadn't come in vain today.

"You can't say this kind of thing, and if you say it, the boss will curse." The young man was not as generous as before, and pretended to be deep.

Hearing the young man's words, Tian Jiyao was so angry that he cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to accompany him with a smile and said: "Little brother, I'm just making ends meet, please do me a favor and tell me." ”

Seeing Tian Jiyao's softness, the young man stretched out his hand, pinched his thumb and index finger together and poked, and said, "Little lady, you see I've told you so much, my mouth is dry, shouldn't I give some money for tea?" ”

"I'm satisfied with the tea money, how to tell if I pay the rent or not, I'll tell you too."

Hearing the young man's words, with his gestures, Tian Jiyao didn't understand what he meant.

I despise it in my heart, don't I just want to tip, as for saying it so tactfully?

But Tian Jiyao had to pay for it, and handed over a purse with a smile and said, "Hard little brother." ”
