At the dinner table, Fluttershy doesn't talk much, she doesn't eat much, and she basically listens to me and her dad.

Hearing about our experience on the train, she nervously put her chopsticks aside and forgot to eat.

It wasn't until her dad had finished speaking that she breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a grateful look.

I smiled at her, pointed to a few of the more expensive dishes on the table, and then made a mouth open.

She blushed and pretended not to see it, but the chopsticks in her hand still hadn't touched it.

Ma Cheng treated me very well, and so did his wife, who beckoned me to drink and eat food, but I drank lightly, and after only taking a sip, I put the cup down.

"Gao Xiang, did you come to our Meihu Town to play?" Putting down the chopsticks, Ma Cheng asked.

Of course, I wouldn't tell him that it was to avoid the girl in purple, so I nodded.

"You're new to the city and you're not familiar with it, so let Fluttershy take you! We are close to the Yangtze River, there are many interesting places, and many tourists come to play here every year. Ma Cheng suggested.

It's September, and Fluttershy is supposed to be studying, and I don't want to delay her studies for my own sake. What's more, I'm not here to play, but mainly to develop and see if there's anything suitable for me to do.

Hurriedly shook his head and said no, Ma Cheng saw that I was resolute, so he didn't insist anymore.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was harmonious, and when we finished eating, it was almost evening, and Ma Cheng saw this, so he asked me to stay at his house for the night.

I thought that there was only 160,000 in the suitcase, which was used to develop my career, which was still a little less, and I could save a little bit, so I agreed unceremoniously.

I stayed at Ma Cheng's house for one night, and the next day I went to town to see if there was a business opportunity for me.

At this glance, I was overjoyed that there was only one supermarket in the huge town, and it was a small supermarket, which was obviously more demand than supply for Meihu Town, which has a population of tens of thousands.

And I looked closely, the prices of goods in the supermarket were obviously inflated, but despite this, there was still a steady stream of customers.

Walking out of that supermarket, I made a decision in my heart, that is, with the 160,000 yuan in my hand, I also opened one.

It took me a few days to find the house I wanted, the landlord was very talkative, upstairs and downstairs, and only paid me 2,000 rent a month.

The next thing is the decoration, as well as the purchase, and when I contact the source, the house is almost decorated.

All the preparations were done, and on a sunny day, I lit a firecracker in front of my supermarket, and my supermarket officially opened for the public.

On the opening day, I implemented a preferential strategy, and since I had posted a lot of small advertisements before, many people came to visit.

For a while, people came and went, and business was very good.

It wasn't until more than 9 o'clock in the evening that the people left, and when I closed the roller shutter door, I counted today's turnover, deducting the costs, and on this day alone, I made more than 2,000.

If this development continues, I will soon be able to open another supermarket, and finally form a chain, and then develop to other places.

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of a better life in the future, but when I walked upstairs and saw the empty dàng) dàng) room, I couldn't help but sigh.

It would have been nice if Siyi Liu had been by my side at this time, she would share my happiness, laugh with me, and then she would say to me like she had said to me that day, I'm great.

I imagined Liu Siyi's voice and smile in my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about it, I was so busy these days that I didn't have time to call her, I didn't get through on the train at that time, but now I may be able to.

I took out my phone and found the familiar number, and I dialed it.

On the phone, I couldn't hear the beep, as if I was disturbed by some kind of information, I still heard a rustling sound.

"How could this be, could it be that girl in purple came with her, and she used her strength to cut off the connection between me and Liu Siyi?" Putting down my phone, I muttered to myself.

After speaking, I was startled and looked around suspiciously, there was no one around, only some furniture, and a dilapidated TV.

I laughed self-deprecatingly, I had become a frightened bird, the train was so fast, and the distance was so far, she would not follow the girl in purple.

Since the phone can't get through, when I have a successful career, I will return to Anseong, and I will be able to see Liu Siyi at her home.

At that time, her father will not oppose us!

Thinking like this, I lay down on it, and at the end of the day, I was a boss and a buddy, and I was really tired, and I didn't have much effort, so I fell asleep.

The next day, business was still surprisingly good, and by lunchtime, there were fewer people.

I grabbed a bag of instant noodles from the shelf and was about to go to the back room to eat it when someone outside stopped me.

"Boss, bring me ten packets of salt, five bottles of soy sauce, and two barrels of oil."

I answered, transferred the goods to the other party, and when I came face to face with him, I couldn't help but laugh.

The other party is an acquaintance, Ma Cheng, whom I met on the train, and I stayed at his house for one night.

When he saw that it was me, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed and became a little ugly.

"Uncle Ma, if you come to visit my small supermarket, I'll give you a cost price, these things add up, a total of ......"

I was about to give a number, but Uncle Ma shook his hand at me, then looked outside, and seeing that no one noticed him, he took my hand and came to a remote corner.

"The owner of this newly opened supermarket, how could it be you?" Ma Cheng asked in a low voice, the look on his face was very solemn.

"What's the matter, Uncle Ma, listen to what you mean, can't I open a supermarket?" I asked, a little amusedly.

Ma Cheng actually nodded and said, "Not only can't you open it, but the people in Meihu Town can't open it either." ”

"Why?"

"Because there is already a supermarket here, the owner of the supermarket is named Zhou Chuanlong, who is notoriously fierce in our local area. If you open a supermarket now, you are against him, and sooner or later he will settle accounts with you. ”

Looking at the goods I got for him, Ma Cheng smiled bitterly, and then said, "Do you know why I bought so many at once?" ”

I also think it's strange, because the people who come to the supermarket to buy goods in the past two days are basically buying in large numbers, as if they buy less, they will be robbed.

At first, I thought it was because of the discount, but now that I hear Ma Cheng say this, there should be something else hidden here.

"Because I'm not optimistic about your supermarket, I think you'll close sooner or later, so before you close, I'll stock up on some stock. When you run out later, you can go to Zhou Chuanlong to buy it. ”

"You mean, Zhou Chuanlong will come to deal with me, and my supermarket will not be able to open sooner or later?"

Ma Cheng nodded: "He is a well-known murderer in our town, and we are all afraid of him." In addition, he has a cousin, who is a film policeman in our area, who used to be fairly fair, but then somehow, he began to help his cousin. ”

"Black and white, he has all of them, you said that you opened a supermarket and grabbed business with him, will he be able to tolerate you, will you have a good end?"

After a pause, Ma Cheng softened his breath and continued: "Listen to the uncle's words, before he finds you, you should close the supermarket first!" ”

"Uncle Ma, thank you for the reminder, I will pay more attention, this supermarket is my hard work, my money is all thrown in, if it closes, then my loss will be great, I will not do this." Looking around, I said slowly.

"You, why don't you listen to persuasion, is it money important, or is your life important?" Ma Cheng was anxious, he said angrily.

"Does he dare to kill?" Hearing what Uncle Ma said so seriously, I couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"He didn't dare to kill someone, but to beat someone up, he didn't even blink an eye. It's not like no one has opened a supermarket here before, he went directly to the person and asked the person to close the supermarket, and that person is just like you now, and he didn't take his words seriously."

"As a result, the next day, he was found in a wilderness, and his legs were blurred with blood from being stoned, which was a tragedy."

"It's over, didn't that person call the police?" I asked, confused.

Ma Cheng smiled bitterly: "Call the police, how to call the police, he didn't even see who hit him clearly, not to mention that Zhou Chuanlong's cousin is a police officer in this area." ”

"And then?"

Later, the man closed the supermarket, and since he couldn't walk on his legs, he had no employer to ask for him, so he could only live on a little savings. After spending that little savings, he chose to hang himself with a rope in the dead of a quiet night. ”

I was silent after listening to it, no wonder there was only one supermarket in the whole town, it turned out that the people here were afraid of Zhou Chuanlong.

Now that I also have a supermarket, it can be said that he will find me sooner or later.

"Gao Xiang, the uncle has little reading, and he doesn't know any big truths, but there is one sentence that I still know, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no material to burn, money can be earned again, and there is only one life."

Patting me on the shoulder, Ma Cheng sighed, and then he asked for two more barrels of oil, and then left with them.

I knew in my heart that it was Uncle Ma who was reducing my losses, and he thought that if I told what happened to that person, I would definitely retreat.

But he was still wrong, after going through so much, how could I be afraid of a wicked person who is notorious in the local area?

What he said just made me wary of Zhou Chuanlong, but the supermarket, I never thought of turning it off.

In the afternoon, the business suddenly became deserted, and the people who came to the supermarket in an endless stream were gone, and the supermarket became crowded.

In this environment, I welcomed three customers, who were bare-chested and led by a young man with a cigarette in his mouth, and staggered into the supermarket.
