As soon as I heard Chen Tiannan's words, I was also drunk and was about to go crazy.

He seemed to see that something was wrong, so he immediately put away his smiling face and said seriously: "Brother Jiu, the list of five cylinders was all bought, and it cost a total of seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven yuan. ”

I was stunned, the amount of money spent seemed to be a bit problematic, why was there so much seven, so I asked him: "You remember correctly?" ”

He smiled bitterly, took out a handful of money from his pocket, and said, "Didn't you give me 10,000 yuan, on the way back, I counted the money in my pocket, and there were still 2,222 yuan and three cents left." ”

Hearing this, I immediately took the money from his hand and counted it, and it was exactly two thousand two hundred and twenty-two, and three cents was three coins.

As soon as I found out about this situation, I felt a little uneasy, Mengke's death was originally a little unwilling, coupled with this strange number, this is not a good sign, I kept comforting myself in my heart, it was just a coincidence.

"Chen Jiu, the troupe is here, where to set up the stage." At this moment, a hearty voice came from the door.

I looked and saw Lang Gao standing in the doorway, and he seemed to be very happy.

I walked over to him, and without answering his question, I asked him, "How much did it cost to hire a troupe?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, and said: "Chen Jiu, you have to thank me this time, the drama class is very cheap, you don't believe it, there are three scenes in total, from seven o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock, it is only more than 700 yuan." ”

"More than seven hundred?" My heart was tight, I usually invited the opera troupe to sing for a night, about 3,000 yuan, why was it so cheap this time, I asked him why.

He said, "The troupe seems to be doing some kind of activity, saying that today is the 10th anniversary of the troupe, and gave me a discount, and the calculated price is 777 yuan." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was a little stunned, Chen Tiannan spent 7,777 yuan to buy things for the funeral, and this Lang Gao invited the opera troupe to be seven, why did they spend seven dollars? You must know that the seven are the same as the same sound, which is a great bad luck in the funeral, in folk terms, this is the deceased does not lose his breath, does not swallow his breath after death, and has a breath in his heart.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lang Gao asked me, "Chen Jiu, are you okay?" More than 700 yuan to hire a drama troupe, and you still have this expression? ”

I still didn't speak, but Chen Tiannan walked up, he glanced at Lang Gao, and said in a deep voice: "Wuguan, guess how much I spent on buying things?" ”

"How much?" Na Lang Gao asked.

"Seven thousand seven hundred seventy-seven pieces seven." Chen Tiannan said such a sentence and fell into silence.

"What?" Lang Gao exclaimed in surprise and asked me, "Chen Jiu, what's going on?" How could it be such a coincidence? ”

I just stopped, and my mood fell to the bottom, "If you want to say that Chen Tiannan's purchase is a coincidence, I believe it, but the money you spend to invite the troupe is the same, and the two together are probably not a coincidence." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman in waiter's clothes walked in, in her twenties, she looked delicate and delicate, I knew her, and she was introduced to talk about food with Wanta Hotel before.

When she saw me, she smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Chen Jiu, our manager said that you are a friend of the boss, and I want to give you a preferential price, you don't need 8,000 yuan for a day and a half of food, as long as 7,777 yuan, seven yuan is enough, you gave us 8,000 yuan before, this is 230 yuan to find you." ”

As she spoke, she took out two hundred and thirty dollars and handed it over.

Looking at this money, I was already confused, what kind of logic is this, I am a friend of his boss, I want to give a preferential price, what is your special discount of 230 yuan, Mader can't be more discounted, my current idea is that as long as there is no seven, even if I ask for a few hundred more yuan, I am also willing to do it!

At that moment, I didn't take her money, waved my hand, and said a special outfit/forced sentence, "Brother is not short of the two hundred and thirty yuan." ”

She was stunned for a moment, bent down towards me, and said, "Mr. Chen Jiu, I know that you are the big boss and you are not short of two hundred and thirty yuan." However, our manager said, I didn't know that you were a friend of the boss before, and I was offended, so I must hand over the two hundred and thirty yuan to you, which is a little bit of our hotel's heart, and I hope you don't embarrass me. ”

With that, she gave me a standard service-style smile.

I didn't know what to say, so I talked to her again, and this woman didn't know what was going on, so she wanted to return the two hundred and thirty yuan to me, saying that it was related to her work, and if she couldn't return the two hundred and thirty yuan, she would roll up and leave. I asked her why, and she said that this was the first time that the manager had personally arranged for her to do something, and that she had to do it well, otherwise, the manager would doubt her ability to do things.

Made, I was so drunk that I had no choice but to take the two hundred and thirty dollars. The woman thanked me and said a lot of good things before leaving.

After she left, I looked at the two hundred and thirty yuan in my hand, and my heart was very bitter.

"Chen Jiu!" Na Lang shouted at me and said, "Last night, you asked me to buy something, and it seems that it cost more than 700 yuan. ”

I was numb, really numb, and with a simple word, I said, "You two go out first, I want to be quiet and take care of my thoughts." ”

They didn't move, so Chen Tiannan put one hand on my shoulder and said, "Brother Jiu, this matter is too mysterious, is my sister-in-law expressing something to you?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, it should be like this." ”

"Chen Jiu, is this a conspiracy?" Lang Gao frowned.

I asked him why.

He said: "For example, the cost of food for the funeral is 8,000 yuan, which is considered high, even if he returns 230 yuan, the price is still high." Don't you wonder why they only refund two hundred and thirty dollars? According to the common means used by the hotel, they give you a 20% discount, no, even if he is 90% off, that is, 7,200 yuan, there will never be a number like 77777. ”

Hearing him say this, I also had some doubts in my heart, the price given by the hotel is indeed a little strange. The hotel is the property of the Su family, and the Su family is now left with Su Xiaolin, isn't he what the hell is he doing?

Thinking of this, I was slightly stunned, if it was really a ghost that he did, this matter would be easy to solve, but I am afraid that this matter is not Su Xiaolin's ghost, but another omen, that is the real difficulty.

At that moment, I immediately ran towards Su's house, intending to ask Su Xiaolin for clarification.

When Na Lang Gao saw that I was leaving, he asked me, "Chen Jiu, where is the stage of the opera troupe?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "There is an open space on the left side of the mourning hall, just build a platform there, pay attention, don't let the pillars of the stage face the entrance of the mourning hall." ”

With that, I walked towards the door.

As soon as I went out, suddenly a person bumped into me, and when I looked up, it was Su Xiaolin. He looked hurried, and when he saw me, he hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, it's not good, something happened." ”
