Chapter 2 Caught in a gamble
The voice on the phone made me stunned for a moment, it was very familiar, but because the voice was very low, I couldn't think of who it was for a while.
"Who? I'm sorry, why don't I have your number. I smiled and said.
"I'm Zhao Jing, and this is the phone number of my new office in Jinan." The girl on the other side said.
Zhao Jing? I then remembered that this girl named Zhao Jing had been in Jinan for many days, and I met it in a hot pot restaurant not long ago, and I forgot that there was such a girl in the past few days.
"Oh, it's you!" I smiled and looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening: "Why haven't you slept yet?" It's twelve o'clock, and your hotel should be closed! ”
"I don't do it at the hot pot restaurant." Zhao Jing's voice was very small and light, as if she had been greatly wronged, and no one said anything in her stomach.
"Didn't you do it at the hot pot restaurant?" I was stunned: "Why?" It's only been a few days, huh? It's only been a few days since I last went to eat at your place. ”
"Anyway, there's a lot going on anyway." Zhao Jing didn't seem to know where to start: "I just don't want to do it there, I don't feel happy, so I don't do it, and now I work as a waiter in a teahouse." ”
"Teahouse? Which teahouse? "The teahouses in Jinan, I have been to the second uncle with all the names and surnames, but these teahouses are not serious teahouses, on the surface they are normal, and there are always some unsavory businesses in the backyard.
"Bamboo incense." Zhao Jing said.
I was stunned, I really went to this Zhuxiang Teahouse once, I accompanied the second uncle to send money, at that time a friend of the second uncle was rubbing hemp in the backyard of the Zhuxiang Teahouse, and lost a bottom, not to give money and not let go, fortunately, the second uncle and the boss there are still a familiar Zhang, in the past gave a membership price, then let go.
In this kind of place, people who don't usually know you won't be recruited as waiters!
Thinking of this, I frowned: "Zhao Jing, when you entered this teahouse, was someone introduced you?" ”
"How do you know?" As soon as Zhao Jing heard this, she immediately leaked her mouth, immediately paused, and said: "It was a customer I met in the store before, when I accidentally spilled tea and stained his clothes, and I couldn't afford to pay for it, so he directly said a few words to the owner of the store, and took me away, and it was arranged here the next day." ”
What's going on? Pry a little girl out of town?
"That guest is Takeka's boss?" I asked.
"No, it's a guest of the owner here." Zhao Jing always felt a kind of worry in her voice, even scared.
I wanted to ask something, but I didn't know how to ask. Although Zhao Jing saved me once, I have only met two or three times in total, and we don't know each other, even if we used to talk like close friends, but ...... After all, reality is reality, and I can't fully trust such a bottomless person.
"Well, you're so late, what's the matter with me?" I thought about it and asked directly.
"It's nothing, it's just that something happened today and I feel scared." Zhao Jing muttered.
"Huh!" I immediately felt a little uncomfortable, I remember a philosopher said: If a woman tells you in the middle of the night that she suddenly feels scared, it is not because she has nightmares, but because she misses you......
"What's the matter?" I asked stiffly.
"At about eight o'clock this evening, the customer who introduced me came to the store and said a few words directly to the boss, and then the boss asked me to accompany him to the backyard." Zhao Jing was very slow: "I didn't think much about it at the time, so I followed." In the past few days, I have been working as a waiter in the front tearoom, but today when I arrived in the backyard, I found that there are people gambling here, here! ”
The last four words, Zhao Jing suppressed her voice to the lowest, I almost couldn't hear what I said, and because I didn't turn on the light, I was terrified to hear it!
"This, this ......" I smiled wryly, "this is normal." We have a lot of tea rooms here that are doing this kind of thing. ”
But speaking of which, I also understand that the guest introduced Zhao Jing to the past, that is, he took a fancy to Zhao Jing as a foreigner, there are no relatives and friends here, no one knows anyone, and he is honest, so that this kind of person can serve when he is gambling, and he has the bottom of his heart, even if she knows, he will not pose any threat to herself.
When the time comes, give a little more tips, it is really not possible to do both soft and hard, and this kind of out-of-town, unaccompanied little girl will be obedient.
In that case, this so-called guest really has a certain identity.
"But, even though I didn't go to college, I know it's a crime!" Zhao Jing suddenly became anxious: "And if I don't report it, wouldn't it be a crime!" What should I do if I get caught? I don't want to go to jail! ”
This kind of thing, my head suddenly became big: this thing is really hard to say, that person has taken a fancy to Zhao Jing, so he will definitely not let her go easily, let alone when Zhao Jing just knew.
There are two kinds of high-end gambling games in this activity: one is the weight of the gambling book, tens of thousands or even millions of games in a game, you can win a set of Beijing villas in one night, and you can lose in one night; Second, the identity of the gambling participants is high-end, these people are all well-known entrepreneurs, or the chairman of an association, or ......
The first type of high-end gambling is that it is good to have money. The second one, but it's not that simple, most of them are used to exchange feelings and trade, and there are too many things involved.
And in this kind of gambling, an unwritten rule has been formed. Everyone thinks that this kind of gambling is best only the gambling people are present at the end, but I don't know when a trend has become popular, that is, no one has to bring a person with them, and it is a girl who doesn't know anyone, and in the gambling game, no matter what is discussed, it will not be taboo for girls to be present.
There are two purposes for doing this, the first is to show off, to be able to find such a girl to bring in, at least you must feel trustworthy, show that you have the ability, and you can find such a person outside the circle. Second, it is pretending to be a ghost and covering people's ears and eyes, and no one outside will believe that in a special gambling game, there will be such a little girl inside, so they will not pay attention.
Of course, once something happens, these people can also threaten the little girl to perjury for herself, this kind of case has happened before, and the eldest brother who was arrested was acquitted a few days later, and it is still thriving.
Therefore, if Zhao Jing wants to get out in this situation, it is really too difficult......
"Hello? Are you still there? ”
I frowned and thought for more than an hour, and Zhao Jing over there thought I was gone, so she asked softly.
"Oh, it's still there." I said, "I can only tell you, first, you can't tell anyone about it anymore, and second, if you want to leave, the only way is to talk to your guest, just say that there is something in your hometown or something, and probe first." ”
"I talked to him. I said that if I was asked to do something like this in the future, I would leave. All the grievances in Zhao Jing's tone were revealed: "But he said, if I want to leave, the matter will be much more serious, let me do it for half a year first." ”
I thought about it, this kind of thing is really tricky, but Zhao Jing once saved me once, I still owe a big favor, sighed and said: "That's it, I'll go tomorrow to see if I can say something, you go to sleep first, don't worry, it's okay." ”
Hang up the phone, I actually don't have the bottom in my heart, and helping Zhao Jing this time is actually to eliminate the apology in my heart for her. I am a very sensitive person, and I know very well what Zhao Jing means to me, but it is impossible for me to develop further between her and me, so this favor must be returned as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, I will go early tomorrow morning, with the prestige of the Gu family, there should be no problem if I want to be alone.
The next morning, I got up early to buy breakfast, and when my second uncle came downstairs, I immediately told him about it.
After listening, the second uncle frowned slightly, and waved his hand again and again: "Xiaorui, it's easy to talk about other things, this kind of thing, my friend, that is, Zhuxiang's boss, is also involuntarily, you take this burden next, I really don't have any good ideas." Our Gu family is slightly famous, but it is limited to the circle! ”
