Chapter Sixty-Nine: Thirty Years of Living Like This
After some conversation, Zhu Jiu knew the woman's identity.
The woman's name is Du Jin, her hometown is thousands of kilometers away in Jiangnan Province, she studied at Nancheng University, dropped out of school to do business in her sophomore year, and now lives alone in Nancheng.
Nancheng University is the top university in China, and no math students want to get in, but Du Jin is not suitable for doing anything at all.
As it turns out, she does have the strength.
She dropped out of school as a sophomore and started her own business in the media business.
Now he has been in business for three years and has a net worth of more than 100 million.
Her car and her house were all bought with her own money.
A proper winner in life.
After listening to Du Jin's self-introduction, Zhu Jiu glanced at her in surprise.
It's an amazing resume.
"Something is wrong." Zhu Jiu secretly thought, "This girl doesn't look very smart, but she looks like a girl who is not deeply involved in the world." ”
Indeed, looking at Du Jin's performance just now, she doesn't look like a genius girl who has earned hundreds of millions of assets in a few years from scratch.
At this time, as if seeing Zhu Jiu's thoughts, Du Jin suddenly leaned over and asked:
"Hey, what do you want?"
"Do you feel like I'm a girl, not at all like a top student at NTU?"
Zhu Jiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Du Jin to be so sensitive. sense, but still nodded and said:
"Indeed, it's a little different from what I imagined."
Du Jin suddenly laughed, pulled a wisp of bangs behind her ear with her ring finger, and said lightly with her red lips:
"You don't have to think about it that complicated."
"Actually, I've been paying attention to you since you knocked on Lao Huang's house."
"There are dozens of you, and you are so well equipped, if you want to do it, you can even kill everyone in this alley."
"But you didn't."
"You have a crushing advantage over us, and now that the order is collapsing, you can do whatever you want. In this case, you have been rejected so many times in a row, and you are still not annoyed at all, and you can still keep the clouds calm and light. ”
"It shows that you have absolute confidence in yourself."
"I'm afraid in your eyes, it doesn't matter if we people join you, or if we don't join you, it's not a big deal for you."
"And you know that we have food and supplies, but you don't rob it, or even disdain it."
"Prove that you don't have a shortage of food and supplies, or that you can easily get them."
"And the people behind you are obedient to you, and the eyes that look at you are full of adoration and fanaticism, proving that they believe in you from the bottom of their hearts."
"Based on the above points, it is easy to analyze that you have a very powerful family."
"You are not short of food, you are not short of supplies, and you have plenty of weapons, mounts, and so on."
"And you are the leader of this force, extremely confident, trusted by your subordinates, and your character can be trusted."
"In this case, why don't I join you?"
Du Jin smiled confidently: "I believe that I can create value for you, and I also believe that you will not treat me badly." So, joining your forces is far better than me waiting here for help. ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand in front of Zhu Jiu: "Boss, I will mess with you in the future." ”
At this time, Du Hibiscus is completely different from the previous girl's appearance.
It's completely like two people.
Zhu Jiu looked at Du Jin's eyes, and after a moment, he smiled lightly: "You are indeed a talent, welcome to join the Temple of Gods and Demons." ”
"Okay, thank you boss~"
Du Jinhun withdrew his hand absently, as if he didn't mind that Zhu Jiu didn't shake hands with her, but instead spit out his lilac tongue, looking eccentric.
Zhu Jiu saw all this in his eyes, and also had a general evaluation of Du Hibiscus in his heart.
Extremely intelligent, extremely sharp, very good at acting and disguise.
From the girl at the beginning, to the shrewd woman later, and then to the current eccentric appearance.
Zhu Jiu didn't know which one was her true face.
Or maybe none of these.
Accepting this person as a subordinate is undoubtedly an adventure.
When used well, it can bring great gains.
If you don't use it well, I'm afraid it will lead to trouble.
However, Zhu Jiu is not worried, after all, this doomsday still relies on strength to speak, as long as he has the strength of the crushing level, he is not afraid of what his subordinates are thinking.
"Du Jin, are you the only one here?" Zhu Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "If there are other people, come with us, the stronghold of the God and Demon Hall is very close to here." ”
"There are still some people, but ......" Du Jin glanced back, and then looked at Zhu Jiudao: "The situation is a little complicated, you come in with me to take a look and make a decision." ”
So saying, she walked towards the house.
Zhu Jiu turned his head and made a look, signaled everyone to pay attention to the surroundings, stay vigilant, and then followed Zhang Xinyu in.
As soon as he walked into the door of the house, Zhu Jiu smelled a smell of sandalwood, and saw a lot of fabrics piled up in the house.
These fabrics are extraordinary, and they should all be very precious.
Before Zhu Jiu had time to look more, he suddenly heard a squeaky sound, so he quickened his pace and walked into the depths of the house.
Zhang Xinyu had vigilant eyes, and followed Zhu Jiu inch by inch, like a bodyguard.
Walking into the depths of the house, Zhu Jiu saw more than a dozen old women constantly stepping on sewing machines, seemingly sewing clothes, while Du Hibiscus was standing next to them, not saying a word.
This sewing machine looks a little old, almost like an antique in a museum, and it's hard to imagine that it can still be used.
The strange sound that Zhu Jiu had heard before came from these sewing machines.
An old woman heard someone coming in, slowly raised her head, and looked at her with some expectation:
"Born in the future, in a shirt?"
She spoke the local dialect of Nancheng and asked Zhu Jiu if she wanted to sew clothes.
Hearing her words, the other dozen or so old women also raised their heads, and more than a dozen pairs of cloudy eyes all looked at Zhu Jiu.
Zhu Jiu shook his head: "If you don't sew clothes, we are here to save you."
Zhang Xinyu also came over and asked suspiciously: "Grandma, now that the world is over, why are you still sewing clothes?" Besides, how can anyone ask you to sew clothes now? Come with us. ”
When the old woman heard that they didn't sew clothes, the brilliance in her eyes disappeared instantly, and the whole person seemed to be rickety again, and lowered her head again to sew her clothes.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
(I'm not leaving.) )
"I'm only going to tie up."
(I can only sew clothes.) )
"If you don't tie the shirt, can I do it?"
(What else can I do without sewing clothes?) )
The old woman said, her hands and feet stopped, and continued to sew her clothes.
Even if this dress is no longer wanted.
"You can do something else." Zhang Xinyu couldn't understand the old woman's thinking: "You can live whatever you do, why do you want to sew clothes?"
The old woman shook her head, and said as she stepped on the sewing machine, "I don't know if you talk about it, I can only make a shirt."
(I don't know what you're talking about, I'll just sew clothes.) )
Zhang Xinyu wanted to say something, but Zhu Jiu shook his head at him and stopped him.
After stopping Zhang Xinyu, Zhu Jiu's arm exerted his strength slightly, his muscles swelled, and the martial arts suit on his body suddenly cracked, and then he stepped forward and smiled at the old woman:
"Grandma, you see my clothes are torn like this, can you still help me sew them?"
As he spoke, he handed the old woman the tattered martial arts uniform on his body.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, stopped on the foot of the sewing machine, and slowly raised her head, and there was a life in her cloudy eyes.
"Connected, connected."
(sewing is possible.) )
"There's no one in the neighborhood who is better than me."
(No one around me sews clothes better than me.) )
The old woman said, took the martial arts uniform, leaned in front of her, and looked carefully inside and out.
"Linkable, linkable......"
She smiled happily, her face folded in layers like an old shirt full of folds.
The old woman lost a few teeth, and her speech was leaky, which sounded a little funny, but Zhang Xinyu couldn't laugh at all.
Zhu Jiuwen smiled and said: "Grandma, why don't you go with us, there are hundreds of people in my family, and a lot of clothes have to be sewn, and I will move these things for you."
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then looked at Du Jin.
Du Jin nodded at her with a smile, and said crisply: "Fifth grandmother, this person is my boss, and I want to go with him." ”
Hearing Du Jin's words, the old grandmother was very happy and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, offspring, let me tell you, there are no people in the neighborhood who are better than me."
"Then please, grandmother." Zhu Jiu smiled and nodded, put on thick clothes for the old woman, and helped her walk out.
Zhang Xinyu called some people in, helped support others, and packed these old sewing machines and took them away.
In the courtyard, Zhu Jiu and Du Hibiscus stood together, and the fifth grandmother went to stare at her baby sewing machine.
"What's going on boss, what's your idea?" Du Jin looked at the busy crowd and said to Zhu Jiu with a smile: "These grandmothers are residents of the neighborhood and have always made a living by sewing clothes for people. ”
"Later, the rich began to buy houses here, and the residents who originally lived here sold their houses and moved away, leaving their old people to stick here."
"There are no residents around, no one to sew clothes for them, and these old people have no source of livelihood."
"I happened to be about to buy a house, so I discussed with them to give them a separate space to live and sew, and they were responsible for sewing clothes for me."
"I remember you saying you were in the media business." Zhu Jiu looked at this group of old people and said indifferently: "So, you let them sew clothes for you just to give them a reason to live." ”
Du Jin smiled and did not answer his question, but hummed a few words of lyrics lightly:
"Live like this for thirty years, until the edifice collapses."
"Darkness deep in the clouds......"
"A landscape that submerges the bottom of my heart."
Listening to Du Jin's soft humming song, Zhu Jiu slowly exhaled.
At this time, everyone had finished moving their things, and they all stood at the door of the house waiting for Zhu Jiu's order.
Zhu Jiu didn't linger any longer, strode out of the house, and glanced back.
In the dim house, all kinds of clothes and fabrics were stacked on top of each other, and there was a rotten smell that even sandalwood could not hide.
Zhu Jiu's eyes were complicated, and he let out an undetectable sigh, his hand paused in the air, and finally closed the door heavily.
"Boom-"
The door was closed in an instant, the scene of the house was cut inside, and the smell of decay gradually faded.
Zhu Jiu turned around, looked at the white snow scene in front of him, and helped the fifth grandmother to say firmly:
"Let's go, old man, I'll take you home, back to your new home."
