Chapter 177: True "Friend"
In Wen Shuo's view, the social structure and form represented by the word "Jianghu" are really too wide, too unrealistic, and too ...... Dangerous.
Mixed black, it is rivers and lakes;
The business world is the rivers and lakes;
Traveling doctors, small traders and hawkers, fortune-telling, picking up scraps and collecting waste...... It's all rivers and lakes.
Generally speaking, in addition to the official eunuchs in the temple, the people who work for life in the recklessness are all in the rivers and lakes.
But "rivers and lakes" are often artificially referred to as a group that exists in a large society - so, in essence, the vast majority of people can proudly say "You have your rivers and lakes, I have my rivers and lakes, you take your gun, I carry my spoon, you sell your white powder, I sell my wontons......"
Compared with the "Xuanmen Jianghu" mentioned by Jing Bai with a rather instigating and demagogic meaning, the fat man feels that the "Internet café Jianghu" is more practical, more comfortable, and safer.
The reason is very simple, take a look at the so-called "road" rivers and lakes in the society around you, and then imagine the rivers and lakes in the martial arts that are more similar to the "road" rivers and lakes in the real society, and you will know how dangerous the rivers and lakes are, and how difficult the rivers and lakes are.
So many times, the fat man has always been unable to understand that many people around him yearn for the fictional rivers and lakes in martial arts, reverence for the "road" rivers and lakes in the real society, happy enmity, swords and shadows, and swords and swords...... He thinks it's a very stupid-forced mentality, and the person who stalks his neck and straightens his spine and plunges into the rivers and lakes is even more stupid.
For example, in order to make a living, I once had to fight with people stupidly with knives and bricks......
For example, I have always believed that "if it can be solved peacefully, it must be solved peacefully, and if it can be done in a big way, it must be a big thing in a small way." But in order to achieve this, they have to "rather kill the enemy than let themselves suffer, in order to earn profits, they must not suffer, and they can't even make concessions to protect their capital......
Damn it!
How many people have widened their eyes and looked forward to the gathering of heroes on the rivers and lakes, but they didn't see how many unlucky people fell on the road to the growth of the heroes!
How many people are excited to watch the heroes with chic scenery, bold and righteous, and invincible heroes, but they don't want them to be scum who have actually relied on bullying and oppressing ordinary people to live such a "good life" and do all the bastard things!
How many people envy the fat man for mixing up the name of "first brother", but I don't know how many times in private the fat man has palpitations and trembling and gritting his teeth to strengthen his courage, racking his brains to plan and plan how to reduce losses, be careful of being retaliated against, and think about how to avoid risks...... Therefore, the fat man will always take the trouble to reason, and the eloquence of the sharp teeth is also practiced in this way - in essence, he is used to reasoning, but he is used to giving himself a little comfort and a little arrogant courage every time he has a conflict with others.
That afternoon, after transferring the money from the check from the bank to his passbook, and looking at the number of 300,000 deposits, the little worry in Wen Shuo's heart disappeared—but in its place, there was a touch of cruel remorse.
The asking price is less.
At that time, I only cared about comparing the price of Guan Ma Youcheng last time, but I ignored the essential difference between the two.
The transaction with Ma Youcheng was a casual help, and he didn't even have the method of raising the altar, and he earned 300,000 yuan...... It was not easier, and this time with Jing Bai's money, the two sides fought the law, and they also took the risk of forming hatred with each other.
Fortunately, Jing Bai doesn't seem to want revenge, but wants to turn the conflict into a jade silk.
Fortunately, at the same time, Wen Shuo also had a little regret - Jing Bai should let Xing Yiqiang, as well as the second apprentice and the third apprentice come to the altar one after another to harm the Internet café, and the two sides fought a few battles solidly, and then after each fight, he could make a lot of money from Jing Bai's hands, and if there were too many times, he could give him a discount......
Of course, the fat man didn't want to fight with Jing Bai.
Not sure.
If Jing Bai dares to shamelessly ignore the identity of his predecessors, he bullies the small with the big and the weak with the strong...... The fat man has already figured out how to deal with it......
Lao Tzu's big ears shave and pump him!
At the same time when Wen Shuo returned to the Internet café with the passbook, Guo Shenghua came to the Gongkou parking lot outside the South Fourth Ring Road at the invitation of Jing Bai, accompanied by Jing Bai and Chen Minfeng, the general manager of the parking lot, to visit and inspect the scale, planning and later business direction of the parking lot, etc., and then came to Jing Bai's residence, which was an ordinary courtyard to drink tea.
"Inviting Guo Dong to visit and inspect has no other meaning. Jing Bai made Guo Shenghua a cup of tea very seriously, and said with a little shame: "This time I borrowed money, it is indeed urgent, and the funds on hand are tight...... I'm worried that you'll have some thoughts that could easily lead to misunderstandings. This parking lot has a total investment of more than 10 million, and it is currently in the preferential settlement stage of rent-free for half a year, but it is enough to prove that I have the strength to repay the money. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Guo Shenghua deliberately straightened his face and said angrily: "Don't treat me as a friend, do you?"
"As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts. Jing Bai smiled: "Between friends, the most taboo is that the money is not clear, and when it comes to borrowing money, it will inevitably lead to a thorn in the heart of the party who is owed, and it will become a contradiction over time and hurt the feelings." ”
Guo Shenghua waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible with me." ”
"But I don't mind. Jing Bai is very serious.
"Look at your ......" Guo Shenghua looked embarrassed - in fact, Jing Bai suddenly asked him to borrow money in the morning, saying that he had an urgent need, and when he turned around to explain to him, Guo Shenghua really muttered in his heart, although for him, 300,000 yuan is nothing, but a penny is also money, and no one's money is blown by the wind. But for the sake of face, Guo Shenghua did not show the slightest doubt, and did not even hesitate for half a minute, so he wrote a check very boldly.
And now, he was ashamed of his little doubt and dissatisfaction, and blamed himself for being a villain.
Jing Bai said indifferently: "Of course, you and I are friends, and I can't see too much, so whether this money is used for half a year or a year, when I repay the money, I won't pay interest...... So, put the IOU away. ”
"If you want to say that...... Guo Shenghua pushed the IOU back to Jing Bai, glared and said seriously: "Then you help my company look at feng shui and plan the layout, I still don't want to go in my heart." Why? I am only allowed to owe you favors, and you are not allowed to owe me favors? Old Jing, you are shrewd enough in this little calculation. Alright, this money is my payment to you...... Hey, don't say anything, let's clear it up first. ”
"This ......" Jing Bai was speechless for a while, looking embarrassed.
Guo Shenghua said: "Look, you don't feel comfortable in your heart, right? So, since they are brothers, they can't be too foreign, and talking about money hurts their feelings." This time, according to your intentions, settle the accounts of our two brothers, and no one owes anyone, so that we can continue to be good brothers, and no one will have to be embarrassed in the future, okay?"
"Okay. Jing Bai agreed with a wry smile helplessly.
"Then again. Guo Shenghua said with some emotion: "Actually, my old Guo also pays attention to these things, and I will rush to your previous attitude today...... You don't know how happy and happy I am in my heart!"
Jing Bai was surprised: "What's wrong?"
"You are a true gentleman!" Guo Shenghua gave a thumbs up: "My old Guo is fortunate to be able to make a true friend like you, alas." ”
Jing Bai suddenly realized, nodded and sighed: "There can be many friends, but the most difficult thing in this life is to make friends who are worth befriending...... Every time I think of my sincere dedication, but I am misunderstood by my friends, alas. ”
Guo Shenghua saw Jing Bai's sad face, so he thought of something, and couldn't help asking, "Between you and Ma Youcheng...... Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Don't mention it, alas. Jing Bai sighed again.
"Lao Jing, when I am a friend, I just say the grievances in my heart, how uncomfortable it is to hold it in my heart. Guo Shenghua took out a cigarette and handed it over, lit it for himself, and said: "It's really not good, I'll help you and Ma Youcheng make peace, since they have been old friends for many years, what misunderstanding can't be resolved?"
After Jing Bai hesitated, he smiled bitterly: "Okay...... Originally, it was inconvenient to talk about this kind of thing to others, but if you Lao Guo don't treat me as an outsider, I can't hide anything from you. In fact, the fault of this misunderstanding with Ma Youcheng was me, blindly thinking about my friend, worried that he would be jealous and afraid, so I didn't tell him some actual situations in advance. ”
After drinking a cup of tea and taking a long sigh, Jing Bai unhurriedly stated the misunderstanding between him and Ma Youcheng to Guo Shenghua.
Nine points true, one point hidden.
That's enough!
In Jing Bai's narration, he was worried that Ma Youcheng would be afraid of the side effects of the three-legged tripod's suppression, so he would not use the three-legged tripod to increase his personal luck, so Jing Bai did not inform Ma Youcheng of the side effects, but relied on his own feng shui mysteries to selflessly suppress the side effects of the three-legged tripod for Ma Youcheng, so that Ma Youcheng, who was going unlucky, reversed the decline with the help of the power of the three-legged tripod, and the fortune turned around, and in just a few years, he won the antique world.
The most important thing is that Jing Bai helped Ma Youcheng for free!
This point, even if Guo Shenghua personally went to Ma Youcheng to verify it, the answer he got was basically the same as what Jing Bai said.
The reason is very simple, a character like Ma Youcheng, although he will no longer pursue any vanity face, but similar to the "invisible" transaction with Jing Bai, if it weren't for the real person Wen Shuo's words, even if Ma Youcheng understood what was going on, he would definitely not talk about it to others - first, he didn't want to be laughed at by people and got into the game; secondly, this is the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes, and it is also the truth, he can't break the rules and break the truth.
After listening to Jing Bai's narration, Guo Shenghua couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and expressed his opinion very directly: "If I were Ma Youcheng, I would have misunderstood, alas." ”
"yes. Jing Bai is also very frank.
"Oh yes, he'...... How did you find out later?" Guo Shenghua said in surprise.
