Chapter 279: Picking Up People
Gu Zhong dragged Qu Jiang and staggered out of the deep alley, when they came, they carried more than a thousand fast, but when they went out, they became penniless again.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Gu Zhong stood on the side of the busy street and asked Qujiang Road.
Qu Jiang took a few puffs of cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, spat and said, "Don't be afraid, Boss Jin has arranged a job for us, three thousand yuan for a trip." Also, on the loan shark side, Boss Jin went to talk to them, and it is said that he has helped us settle it. ”
"I'm not asking you about money, why are you beating people?"
Qu Jiang ignored him, the bus drove over, he swiped his card to get on the bus, and Gu Zhong hurriedly followed.
"Why do you hit women?"
The car was crowded with people, and Gu Zhong was embarrassed, so he had to ask in a low voice.
"It's all fun anyway, you can play as much as you want, what's there to ask." Qu Jiang said coldly.
"That's a person, and it's a young woman, not a toy."
Qu Jiang suddenly turned his head to look at him, and that gaze made people feel cold.
"Don't forget, last time in Golden Phoenix, I was also used as a toy by a woman." Qu Jiang didn't raise his pitch, but the sound was enough to penetrate Gu Zhong's heart, and Gu Zhong couldn't help but shudder.
What else could he say? If Golden Phoenix hadn't blocked the knife for him that time, maybe he would really be crushed.
The two sat on the bus, speechless all the way. When they got off the bus, they walked towards the school gate one after the other, Qu Jiang looked back at Gu Zhong and said, "The night after tomorrow, let's go and help Boss Jin pick up someone." ”
"Who?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Who knows?" Qu Jiang said indifferently.
Gu Zhong got up early in the morning and went to find Qu Jiang, who knew that he was not in the dormitory.
"I'll go out at six." Qu Jiang's roommate said, "Hey, why didn't you sleep here last night?" ”
There is a roommate in Qujiang's bedroom who rents a house outside, so if he is usually fine, Gu Zhong always lives in his bed, so that it is convenient for him to chat with Qujiang. The two of them ate and lived together, went in and out together, and were used to it.
But after returning from that alley, Gu Zhong couldn't say why, and he began to have some scruples about Qu Jiang.
That night, Qujiang had been completely changed.
Gu Zhong wanted to "save" him back, but he didn't know what to do. He lay in his room and thought about it for a day and a night.
After thinking about it, he decided to send a message to Qu Jiang.
"Where are you?" He asked.
Not long after, Qu Jiang sent back a voice.
"I'm in the east of the city, here in Cigu, you can come over too, the work in the evening is in advance."
Gu Zhong replied simply, "Okay", and then hurriedly walked out the door.
"What have you two been messing with lately? It's either covered in wounds or sneaky. You won't join any violent gang, will you? Qu Jiang's roommate asked.
Gu Zhong didn't care about replying, he ran down the stairs and ran towards the bus stop at the school gate.
He made three transfers and did not arrive at the agreed place until half past one in the afternoon. Qu Jiang was waiting for him in front of a billboard that had become dull after the wind and rain. He wore a gray overalls vest and carried a coarse cloth backpack.
"Where did this dress come from?" Gu Zhong asked inexplicably.
"Don't ask so much, today we are factory workers." Qu Jiang took out an identical vest from his backpack and threw it to him.
Gu Zhong put on his vest and didn't ask again.
They have also done various things before, pretending to be various identities, such as pretending to be customers queuing up in front of the Internet celebrity store, pretending to be a little brother to help the gang stand on the platform, etc.
This time, though, the place to go was a little different. Qu Jiang took him on a bus to the North Bus Station near Youcheng, and the two got on a short bus to Pingzhao County.
"What are you doing in Pingzhao?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Pick up someone." The car swayed, Qu Jiang said with a yawn.
The car drove out of the city, drove on the highway, and arrived at the Pingzhao bus station after an hour and a half. At this time, it was already half past three in the afternoon, Gu Zhong hadn't even eaten breakfast, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
"Don't worry, I'll have something to eat soon." Qu Jiang comforted him.
Halfway down the road in front of the bus station, Qu Jiang took out his mobile phone, looked at a small restaurant with a black sign, and said, "It's here." ”
"What are we going to do?" Gu Zhong is still not at ease.
"Pick up people. Remember, you have to say that you are a worker at the Weiyang Electron Tube Factory, and you must not tell the truth. Qu Jiang told him.
"Okay." Gu Zhong agreed.
The two of them pushed open the door of the restaurant, and it was empty, except for a man and a woman at the innermost table. The man was thin and thin, but the girl was not very old and looked smart.
The man saw them walk in and hurriedly shook his hand in this direction.
Qu Jiang walked over, there was no order on the dining table, only two teacups, and the cups were filled with boiled water.
"Hello, hello!" The man stood up and introduced, "These two are cousins' former colleagues, and they are workers in the electron tube factory. ”
Qu Jiang greeted the girl with a smile: "Xiao Luo, right?" I often hear my eldest brother talk about you. My surname is Qu, and his surname is Gu. Don't worry, Xiao Gu and I look young, but we have come to Weiyang very early. In the future, if you work in the factory, if someone bullies you and tells us, we will help you get ahead. ”
The girl hurriedly stood up as well, bowed vigorously to them, and said, "In the future, I will rely on the two eldest brothers to take care of it!" ”
Gu Zhong stood beside Qu Jiang awkwardly, he really didn't know what to say. Instead, Qu Jiang looked at the empty table and smiled.
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? Waiter, menu! ”
The cousin hurriedly waved his hand: "Old song, how can I let you break the bank!" ”
"Give Xiao Luo a wind, what is the cost!" Qu Jiang smiled heartily, as if he had known a man for many years.
The waiter brought the menu, Qu Jiang ordered a few hard dishes, the man was probably hungry, he held the rice bowl, and ate like a whirlwind. The girl may still be a little embarrassed, she holds chopsticks and eats only the dishes on the plate in front of her.
Gu Zhong was also hungry, but fortunately Qu Jiang ordered two meatloaf for him early, and told the waiter to serve it first. After the three meatloafs were settled, his stomach stopped protesting, his body warmed up, and more importantly, his mind began to clear up.
"Where do we get the money for dinner?" He asked Qu Jiang secretly.
"Funding." Qu Jiang whispered.
The funds are the money given by the client, Gu Zhong nodded, and did not ask much. After a few people had eaten almost, Qu Jiang got up and pretended to go to the toilet, and then went to the service desk to settle the bill. At that moment, the man also stood up and ran over as if he were paying the bill.
Gu Zhong craned his neck, watching Qu Jiang and the man arguing there, the two quarreled for a few words, and then lowered their heads and said something.
"Big brother," the girl across suddenly asked, "what do you do in the tube factory?" ”
