Chapter 141: Emotional Transformation [4K Two Shifts in a Row]
"Why should Mr. William be so nice to her?"
Marlena stared at the basket of food on the table, which Mr. William had carefully left behind.
He didn't say a word more in court, but every sentence was so weighty that people had to pay attention to it, and the judge let her go, and Mr. William saved him.
He could have asked for her at this time, when he was vulnerable and helpless, and she might not even resist.
She needed food to fill her stomach, she needed to work to earn money, and Mr. William was a good choice, but he didn't force her with anything.
Respect, trust.
Marlena wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and at this moment she felt that this gray and helpless life had walked into a light to dispel the haze, and since then her life has a faint color.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to take over a job from Mr. William, who is a circus owner, and she can take care of the food and beverage of their employees.....
When Chen Jun walked out of Marlena's house, he could always see a group of half-grown children squatting on the sand bank and looking at Marlena's door.
Throbbing adolescence, I don't know how many people Marlena is the goddess of dreams.
Back at home, Saikin's circus members were cleaning his house, and he beckoned the three of them to come, pointed to the sturdy Ladd, and said, "Tell them how you can intimidate Judge Sark." ”
Ladd nodded, "After receiving your instructions, I went into his house, he was in his 50s, living with his own son, there was no defense, and at night, I went in easily, and put the money on his son's bedside table, and the bullet envelope next to their newborn crib, so I received a reply from him the next day." ”
Chen Jun only provided instructions for deterrence, and the specific method was still figured out by himself, and it could be solved.
"You two study hard, and tell me your understanding of this technique in a few days, I don't want a reckless man!"
"It's your reward."
Ladd took the 4 dollars and was ecstatic, their circus members might not be able to earn so much in half a year.
"I still have a mission right now, and I need to go alone to the port of Pozzallo, where there will be a clipper ship from all over the United States in the near future, and you can find a man in a brown hat called Crow."
"The code is: Greetings from the Corleone family, you give him this letter, and then take what he gave you, and send it to me."
It had been more than two months since he left the United States, and he had been in Sicily for a month, and according to his agreement with his old godfather Vito Corleone, every month he would send someone to inform him of the situation in the United States, and to give him the necessary supplies and money.
The godfather didn't know about his friend Don. Croce, the news that Carlo has betrayed, and after the last incident, Chen Jun basically determined which of the big men who were sniped and dropped by him have joined forces with the five major families, this storm will not be simple, faintly making him worry about what accidents may happen to the Corleone family.
"Which of you goes, Ike?" Chen Jun glanced at him.
"Okay, Mr. William, I will not disappoint your expectations and will complete the task." He watched Ladd get the money, and took the task without hesitation.
"Be careful, you may pass by Crocecallo's territory and ask me what's going on over there, I need to know if it's his son who has come to power, and I've seen mafia in the town lately."
After dealing with the matter, the little old man of the circus found Chen Jun again.
"Boss, you've set up a venue on the beach and you've prepared the show, do you really want it for free?"
"Just go as planned."
Sai Jin sighed when he saw him casually, it is estimated that he can't learn any way to improve the flow of people, with his experience, maybe this is the place for a date, and his boss always wants to have a big game.
On Sundays, the circus on the beach is officially held at night, and the surrounding bonfire torches illuminate the beach.
The townspeople, except for the half-grown children, came with many men, women and children.
The hardships of life, the lack of entertainment, the town has not encountered a mobile entertainment business organization for too long, not to mention that this circus is still free.
Even if there is only Saikin's magic, Dairia's tarot cards, Rade's equestrian show, clown acrobatics, and Ivan's throwing knife balancing, the townspeople still watch it with joy.
As for the man who hooked up with Marlena that they scolded in countless mouths, they would also watch it very honestly.
Marlena didn't go to a wonderful circus show, and her heart was tormented.
Should she go to Mr. William for a job at all?
Her father was a teacher, she was well educated, but what could she do with Mr. William, take care of the diet?
Does staying around him cause any more gossip?
Should I apply? Marlena looked at the basket of food on the table, Mr. William would bring food every day, and she could live well without going.
But does she have reason to accept all this calmly?
Eating his food, owing him money, and she just made a promise out of thin air, no one in the town would find her a job, it was all people who wanted to occupy her, so she couldn't pay Mr. William.
What can she repay?
Bang bang bang!!
Marlena knocked on the door and walked into the luxurious courtyard for the first time.
"Marlena?" Chen Jun opened the door, a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"Mr. William, didn't you go to your circus show?" Marina looked a little cramped, "I have something to say to you. ”
"Come in!"
Chen Jun is writing a plan for the industrial whitewashing of the Corleone Empire, he has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Sicily, self-cultivation secondly, and most importantly, from the perspective of a bystander, if the power of the Corleone family gets a piece of the pie in the fourth information industrial revolution, it will smoothly transform into a chaebol capital family similar to Morgan.
"Do you still need food?" He brought the bacon and ham sausages made by Dai Lia, as well as beef.
"No need." Marlena's face was slightly red, "I'm not here for food, I want to say that it may be difficult for me to repay the kindness you gave me, so I hope to apply for a job from you that I can do, such as cleaning and preparing your food every day." ”
Looking at her cramped and nervous appearance, Chen Jun wanted to laugh in his heart.
It was not easy for her to enter his room and give him intimate personal work despite the opinions of the townspeople.
Marlena understood what such a move meant to the traditional Sicilian, and it was a big step forward, and her psychological defenses had broken down in front of him.
"I already have a part-time cleaner and a cook, and that old aunt is doing pretty well."
"That's no, please don't quit that person for me." Marlena said eagerly, and said softly, "Then you have the work I can do by your side." ”
"Secretary ....."
Chen Jun suddenly thought of this position in his mind, and it was not too good to wear professional clothes with Marlena's mature and glamorous temperament.
Ahem, thinking of the picture produced by the secretary, he coughed lightly.
"Mr. William, what's wrong with you?" Marlena asked.
"Nothing, I don't have any career for you for the time being." Marlena's eyes dimmed, and Chen Jun said abruptly, "But..... I'm not in a good mood right now, can you go out with me to see a trick or relax? ”
Marlena hesitated, and Chen Jun said, "It's kind of to ease my mood, I will give you money according to the hourly wage." ”
"No need, Mr. William has selflessly helped me so much, and I am very happy to be able to help you."
Marlena made a decision, even though she knew that this was the only thing lovers and couples would do.
"The view of the Sicilian beach may be a different story."
Chen Jun said with a smile, and walked into the room to change into a casual outfit, similar to his original outfit in the United States.
"Would you like to change, I think I need a brighter outfit for the night."
Chen Jun didn't say a word, and stuffed the handbag into her hand, "You can try it, there is a room over there." ”
Marlena was helpless, and it was hard to refuse when it was already in her hands, so she had to go to the room and dress it, but she was very strange and gave her the right size of the clothes.
Marlena walked out, her charming long curly hair was loosely curled, and she was wearing a plain white dress, cut and fitted, showing her figure and style subtly.
She had already seen another self in the mirror, her eyes revealed an inexplicably complex and joyful light, and she was awakened by Chen Jun's voice, "It's really beautiful, it seems that I have a good eye, let's go." ”
The two pushed open the door, and in the moonlight, walking side by side on the gravel road, they could hear the cheers of the townspeople watching the circus in the distance.
"Want to see it?" Chen Jun pointed to the beach circus in front of him.
"No need." Marina looked over there, still shaking her head slightly.
Chen Jun: "That's a circus show I specially staged for you, on the beach opposite your house, but it's a pity that they are cheaper." ”
Marlena turned to look at him, her body trembling slightly, "Then I'll go and see, but it's from a distance." ”
Chen Jun smiled slightly, did not force it, and the two walked to the embankment on a commanding height in the dark part of the beach, and Ivan could be seen performing a balancing technique on a rope from afar.
After watching a few tricks, Marlena saw that a few children had come here before leaving in a hurry.
On the beach, the silver moon hangs high.
At night, the sea breeze brought the humidity of the sea water to offset the heat of Sicily, and Chen Jun pulled Marlena to sit on the sand bank, looking at the sea like a starry night.
"Are you scared of them?"
"With me, they'll damage your reputation."
"During this time, is there less slander about us circulating in the town? Do you need to care? Seeing Marlena's embarrassed appearance, Chen Jun said with a smile, "There are still a few wonderful performances in the circus, and if you don't see it, then I'll show you." ”
He pulls out a deck of tarot cards.
"Tarot card divination?" Marlena was surprised.
"Yes, divination of fate and calculation of fortune, this is the unique skill of Circus Dai Liya, and it just so happens that she taught me." Seeing her hesitation, Chen Jun directly shuffled the 78 tarot cards, "You come to cut the cards and choose one?" ”
Marlena showed some interest, hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out.
"Wait."
Seeing him stop, Marlena had wide eyes in question.
"Take ten deep breaths, your current emotional instability, calm down and treat it solemnly."
Marlena did as he was told, and drew a card with a nonchalant expression.
"It's a 'lover' card, do you want to draw cards?" Chen Junke played a magic stick, and said seriously: "The meaning of the card is not good, it is a reversal of righteousness, your feelings are indecisive, and in the face of countless people's slander, you always tend to close yourself off from danger." ”
"In other words, in reality, you choose to hide under the slander and slander of the townspeople, but it is useless to dodge, they deprive you of the chance to live, everything you have worked so hard to hold on to is destroyed, and you can't even cry, you can only endure to death."
Marlena was silent, her life was indeed as prophesied by the card, maybe she really wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"However, there is also an accident, you meet me, and the fate of the previous bullshit will disappear."
"Then you boast about yourself like that?" Marina put the card in, shook her head stiffly, and pulled out a smile, "I think you said this on purpose to me, you lied to me, you won't." ”
"Really?"
Chen Jun chuckled and put away the card: "Your beauty has attracted countless jealousies and possessive desires, and your personality determines that you are difficult to resist. ”
"But ————, beauty is not the original sin, no one can protect it is the greatest sin!"
"I ....."
As soon as Marlena tried to speak, her lips were gagged, and it was difficult to say a word.
Hormones drilled into the tips of their noses, and Marlena's fingers tightly grasped Chen Jun's shoulders, to release, to put down, to hug, to respond.
