"Heh, the kid is really good at business, take the money I hired you to buy my time." Qu Mo said to Zhang with a smile.

"The time to buy is not for me, but for your daughter, so even if I am a middleman who does not make the difference, no, I should be regarded as a second-hand dealer who makes a loss-making transaction." Zhang Su also responded with a smile.

"Well, those just now are just a temptation for you, after all, I haven't seen you with my own eyes, and I hope that little brother Zhang will forgive me, judging from your performance, I now have reason to believe that you have no bad intentions towards Zhiru, so I can be regarded as admitting your identity as a godbrother." Qu Mo said with a smile.

"Uh......" Zhang Ji didn't expect that what Qu Mo did just now was actually a disguised temptation, it seems that Qu Zhiru's father Qu Mo has already cultivated a seven-trick exquisite heart in society, if he didn't really have any bad intentions for Qu Zhiru, it is estimated that he would have exposed the bottom under both soft and hard.

"Don't blame the little brother, I'm also for Zhiru, I don't know where the little brother is from?" Qu Mo asked.

"Lincheng people, a small county in the province, I am even a migrant worker in Qicheng." Zhang Su replied.

"Now they are all going to the city to work, people in small places have surplus 'grain and meat' to send to the big city, in order to maintain the development of the big city, since the 'grain and meat' are gathered in the city, people who want to eat meat smell the fragrance of meat and go to the city, I also smell the smell of meat like you." Qu Mo said with a smile.

"You also came to Qicheng to work?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Well, I'm from Liucheng, I went to the city to work more than ten years earlier than you, and I have a certain beauty in this big city, so I can be regarded as eating a few bites of meat, and now there are more people who want to eat meat in the big city, and the dragon and the tiger occupy one side, and you newcomers can only grab food from the tiger's mouth, Zhiru opened the bottle of wine, and I want Brother Zhang to have a few drinks." Qu Mo replied, and then instructed Qu Zhiru.

Hearing Qu Mo's instructions, Qu Zhiru obediently took a bottle of liquor and two wine cups, and placed one in front of Zhang Su and Qu Mo.

Qu Mojin is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve, originally from Liucheng, and now he is registered in Qicheng, and after graduating from high school at the age of nineteen, he came to Qicheng to wander, because he has a good brain and good image, and he has been wandering in Qicheng for a few years, and he has made some improvements, bought a car and a house, and married a local daughter-in-law in Qicheng, that is, Qu Zhiru's mother Rui Xiaolian, and had a lovely child at the age of twenty-four, that is, Qu Zhiru.

In the eyes of others, Qu Mo is a typical representative of the double harvest of love and career, only Qu Mo himself knows, although he has a beautiful wife and lovely children, but because of the continuous improvement of his status in the company, he can spend less and less time with his wife and children, after his wife gave birth to Qu Zhiru, Qu Mo is even more because of the need to travel overtime for a long time because of work, and there is no extra time to accompany his wife and children at home, which leads to Qu Mo's wife has various complaints about Qu Mo, and the relationship between the two has become estranged as Qu Zhiru grows up. In the end, the love between husband and wife was cold to the freezing point, and there was no more communication between each other, and Qu Mo didn't even dare to express too much apology, because every expression would be exchanged for endless complaints from his wife.

Qu Mo is often not at home, only his wife and daughter depend on each other at home, but in Qu Mo's opinion, he is also fighting for the family's livelihood, if he only cherishes the warmth of the family, then the family will lose its main source of income, if the emotional wealth is exchanged for the poverty of life, he feels that it is still not a good form of life, so he finally chose to sacrifice more time to accumulate more wealth for the family first, as long as he earns enough money, Then he will be able to compensate for his lack of affection for the family as soon as possible in the future, so he has less time to go home, and sometimes he can't go home once a month, causing his wife Rui Xiaolian to complain every day that she is a widow.

People are not as good as heaven, before Qu Mo earned enough money, when Qu Zhiru was nine years old, Qu Mo's wife Rui Xiaolian had an accident, she was unfortunately hit by a car when she picked up Qu Zhiru from school, and the whole person instantly fell in a pool of blood, and was finally declared dead due to ineffective rescue.

In the year of his wife's accident, Qu Zhiru's grandparents and grandparents took turns to get sick, and Qu Mo continued to pay his time and labor to support the elderly on both sides in order to make up for the lack of affection for his wife, and Qu Zhiru only got the monthly living expenses given by his father, and even couldn't see his father all year round.

The story after that is that Qu Zhiru was almost killed, Qu Mo's wife Rui Xiaolian is unwilling to let her child become a lonely and unattended person, with a deep resentment wants to take her child to the soul world, and wants to be a pair of hard-working souls with her daughter, but she was ruined by Zhang Su who was passing by, and wanted to compete with Zhang Su, the soul master, but was persuaded by the sensible Qu Zhiru, and a tragedy was easily resolved.

Of course, Qu Mo didn't know the story after this, he always had an apologetic feeling when he mentioned his wife and children, but Zhang Su knew that there were a few people in the world who were happy with everything, and how could they have both fish and bear paws casually, as the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, not to mention that this emotional debt and life debt itself are two ends of a rocker, there is always one high and one low, and it is difficult for Da Luo Immortal to balance it.

"I'm nothing special, I've just been in Qicheng for two or three years, I quit a job with no prospects, and now I've found an engineering company to take on some casual work to support myself, and I can earn as much money as I do, I am more free, I don't have any extravagant hopes, just enough to eat and drink." Zhang Su introduced himself like this, he couldn't tell Qu Mo about the soul master, so according to the content of the yin and yang contract he signed with the soul hunting company to cover up, this statement is not a lie.

"It's good, how many people are pursuing personal freedom and financial freedom now, but there are few who really have the courage to run, and there are very few who can do it in the end, young people like you don't seem to be motivated, in fact, they understand that if they suffer and work hard is counted as progressive, then who in the world has those old cattle in the farmland who are motivated, but unfortunately I am like an old cow who ploughs the land every day for a lifetime, but I am now like an old cow who ploughs the land every day, but there is more grain and grass than others." Qu Mo always felt that Zhang Su exuded the kind of freedom he needed from top to bottom, and he had some envy for Zhang Su.

Zhang Su feels that although Qu Mo is a bit social and old-fashioned in terms of style, but he is not pedantic in vision and concept, Zhang Su knows that anyone who can mix in the career will have this quality more or less, the old-school style allows them to better integrate into the elderly group who is controlling the society, and the trendy and advanced thinking mode allows them to seize the opportunity and make changes and adjustments in the first time, which is obviously the reason for Qu Mo's success. Zhang Su saw some of Lu Sen's shadows on Qu Mo's body, and in his eyes, Lu Sen's style of acting was also somewhat similar to Qu Mo.

"I'm not as thorough as you said, I'm just living blindly, in fact, I'm quite confused, and I'm thinking about whether to continue this job." Zhang Su said modestly.

"What's wrong?" Qu Mo asked puzzled.

"In a construction accident, a friend died, and there was also my reason for this, so I was suspended for inspection, but I didn't dare to go back to work after the inspection period." Zhang replied hazyly.

"Is your job dangerous?" Qu Mo continued to ask.

"Well, it's dangerous, and it's in danger of dying at any moment." Zhang Su replied.

"Be cautious to do it, the greater the danger, the more valuable it is, and the keeper can lie down on the struggle of the predecessors to eat the old book, but all entrepreneurs, how risky it is to do what you do, how much the return after the corresponding success, many people are not successful because they are afraid of taking risks, retreat in distress, hide in distress, everyone dares to do what you take the turn to profit from, many people just don't understand this truth." Qu Mo explained.

"Do risks and opportunities coexist?" Zhang Su concluded.

"This is the name after the summary, the actual operation is not a word, a sentence so simple, the Buddha said: 'a flower a world', in fact, is the relationship between reason and appearance, the appearance looks very simple, but to study the texture under the appearance, internal structure and other issues will be found quite complicated, but some people just took a microscope to the flower to take a look, saw that the texture inside is not as wonderful as the appearance, and directly withdrew from the study, so the final phenomenon is that there are very few successful people, Many people hide in the cabin and live a smooth sailing life, and dream of riding the wind and waves and galloping the sea, this probability is really too small. Qu Mo shook his head and said.

"Haha, is this the reason you're looking for for yourself to not be able to take care of Zhiru?" Zhang Su asked with a smile.

"Haha, who doesn't want to accompany their wives and children at home every day to warm the kang head, but there is no golden pestle in the gentle township, if everyone can turn stones into gold, then is gold still valuable? I don't have any ability, and my knowledge is low, so what I earn is just the money I earn from selling my life. Qu Mo took a deep sip of wine.

Zhang Su listened, remembering the people he saw who were busy running around for a living, he understood Qu Mo's suffering, and he also knew the weakness of this strong man's heart.

Qu Zhiru watched her father slowly show some tiredness, she knew that her father, who was strong and even cold on the surface, was actually very tormented inside, and there was a broken heart hidden under the tenacious surface, even Qu Zhiru saw her father show her tiredness for the first time, or show it to an outsider.

"I understand that there are indeed great opportunities in my work, even opportunities in the sky, which means that the dangers encountered will definitely be boundless, if you compare them like this, my experience may really be nothing, maybe there will be greater dangers in the future." Zhang Su said to himself, from Qu Mo's prompt, Zhang Su suddenly remembered the jade tile engraved with the Soul Record of the Source Apocalypse in his hand, if it is really as big as Qu Mo said, the opportunity that the jade tile brings to him may be to understand the true face of this world, or even the opportunity to make himself a god like Nuwa, and the risk he faces is estimated to be not something that ordinary people can bear, Zhang Su suddenly realized something.

"What is the little brother Zhang talking about?" Qu Mo saw Zhang Su talking to himself, and asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, by the way, Sister Zhiru, what about my original pants? It looks like there's something I forgot to take out in there, so you won't wash it for me. As soon as he thought of the jade tile, Zhang Su remembered the tattered pants he had changed into, the dark stone cup and the jade tile that he had always carried close to him, and he stuffed these two things into his pants pocket when he went out.

"Washed." Qu Zhiru replied.

"Huh? I've got something in my pants. Zhang Su said with a slight cry, he was afraid that the Immortal Stone Cup and the Jade Tile would be washed away, and if the Immortal Stone Cup was washed bad, the most that would be the revenant soul sealed inside would run out, if the Jade Tile was washed bad, then the remnant soul of Nuwa and the channel to understand the information of the source heaven would be gone, if he wanted to improve himself to avenge Lu Sen, the things in the Soul Record of the Source Heaven Apocalypse were quite important to him.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, Zhiru has already taken out everything in your pants and put it next to the TV in the living room, I remember that there was a mobile phone, a beautiful little jade piece, and a small bottle with a wooden stopper with a narrow mouth, and a dozen yuan of change, well, it seems that there is a pack of chewing gum, right, Zhiru didn't miss anything." Qu Zhiru looked at Zhang Su with small eyes that shimmered with crystalline light and replied.

"Chewing gum?" Zhang asked puzzled, he never ate chewing gum, let alone remembered what chewing gum he bought, why he had that kind of thing in his pocket.

"That's right, a small piece, a blue package, with Du Silk." Qu Zhiru nodded and said.

"Oh, yes, yes, chewing gum, I forgot if you didn't say it, hahaha." Zhang Su only remembered that the one in his pocket was not a chewing gum, but a condom of a certain brand, which Pu Zitong deliberately bought in the supermarket when he accompanied Pu Zitong to get rid of those secretly following competitors a few months ago, in order to let some suitors with virgin feelings dispel the idea of pursuing, after buying it, Pu Zitong stuffed it into Zhang Su's ass pocket, and Zhang Zitong forgot that there was still that kind of thing in his pants for a while.

"Chewing gum? Does Brother Zhang have a girlfriend? Qu Zhiru didn't know, but how could Qu Mo be covered up by Zhang Su's words, and asked deliberately.

"Sort of." Zhang Su could only answer with a wry smile.

"How's it going? When are you going to get married? Qu Mo continued to ask.

"Haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Su answered truthfully that he and Pu Zitong were fake couples, and they didn't have the agenda of marriage at all.

"What's wrong? Because of the house? Qu Mo asked about Zhang Su's situation like a matchmaker.

"Well, I'm still renting a house in this neighborhood." Zhang Su nodded and replied, this is a good excuse.

"That's a bit of a problem." Qu Mo rubbed his chin and said.

"Haha, it's not in a hurry, I plan to fight for another two years." Zhang Su scratched his head and replied as if facing an old parent urging marriage.

"Okay, I salute Brother Zhang's little brother, and I wish Brother Zhang's little brother a beautiful woman when he becomes famous as soon as possible." Qu Moruo raised his wine glass to Zhang Su meaningfully and drank it all.

Zhang Su didn't know what to say, he also picked up the wine glass and drank half a sip gently, the bitter taste of alcohol permeated his mouth, making it difficult for Zhang Su, a person who had not drunk liquor a few times, to swallow.

When she saw Zhang Su, there was a kind of love in the corner of her eyes, when she heard her father and Zhang Su talk about his girlfriend, Qu Zhiru was unhappy like a little resentful woman, she fell in love with Zhang Su from the moment she was rescued, she was frightened and afraid to hide in Zhang Su's arms, woke up from the dream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Su's gentle face, she knew that she was in love, Although she was still only a twelve-year-old little girl, she was sure that she fell in love with the big brother in front of her who could protect her, and when she heard that Zhang Su already had a girlfriend, she was both blessed and jealous.

Zhang Su and Qu Mo after drinking the second cup, the two have nothing more to talk about, facing the cold situation, Zhang Su took the lead in breaking the embarrassment, he excused himself from drinking, while saying that there were still some things to deal with at home, got up and took Qu Zhiru's dark stone cup, jade tile and other objects taken out of his torn pants into the pocket of the pants he was wearing again, and picked up the two bags of instant food placed at the door of Qu Zhiru's house, and said goodbye to Qu Mo and Qu Zhiru.

Qu Mo didn't keep it, sent Zhang Su to the door, and then handed Zhang Ji a spare key to his house, saying that he hoped that Zhang Ji could often come to the house to accompany Zhiru instead of himself, and the key was a pass to enter and exit at will.

Zhang Zhi hesitated, and finally took the key, since he recognized Qu Zhiru as his sister, it is normal to take care of Qu Zhiru occasionally, not to mention that Qu Zhiru and Qu Mo inadvertently helped him get out of the current psychological predicament, let him get out of the haze of the ghost banquet, in return, he has no reason to refuse, but his care is maintained in the relationship between brother and sister at most, he is not very willing to accept Qu Zhiru's kind of love for him, and the age gap makes him feel a little estranged.

After Zhang Su left Qu Zhiru's house, Qu Zhiru's original happy appearance disappeared, and turned into a pale face, and she was depressed and packed up the food on the table.

Qu Mo came to Qu Zhiru, helped Qu Zhiru clean up the table together, looked at his daughter's emotional change, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still complaining about me for that?" ”

"Don't complain, Zhiru knows her father's hardships, her father can't come back from a business trip, and of course my mother's funeral can only be handled by me." Qu Zhiru replied calmly.

"The most painful thing for me is to let you see your mother's tragic death at a young age, I'm sorry for your mother and daughter, I feel like a knife when I see you so sensible now, and I also know that you hate me." Qu Mo said in a slightly moaning voice, tears rolling in his eyes, but he raised his hand and secretly wiped them away just as he was about to fall.

"What's the use of talking about these things now, my mother is no longer here, and I will live with my mother's strong share." Qu Zhiru was still expressionless and packed her things.

"Do you like that guy named Zhang Su just now?" Qu Mo calmed down and asked.

"I like it." Qu Zhiru glanced at her father, then bowed her head and replied.

"What kind of like?" Qu Mo continued to ask.

"Love." Qu Zhiru said softly.
