Chapter 52: The Time of Parting (End of Volume 2, Ask for Recommendation, Collection)
Enoch was dead and in ashes. The second tranche of the funds for my stake in Huaxia Company was transferred to the company's account the day after his death. He had set the time for the transfer a long time ago, and he was confident that he could buy me off with this large sum of money, and he didn't have time to terminate the contract when he died, after all, it was nothing to him. I don't know if this can be said to be a loss of my wife and a loss of my life?
After adding a lot of money for no reason, Huaxia was in a good mood, and even the injury was healed faster than ordinary people, and it didn't take long to be alive, but he didn't go to work at home. It's not because his health is not good, but after he recovers from his injury, Li Xin will no longer wait for him like an old mother. He had forgotten that he had a company that was half a big one.
At this critical moment, I had to bite the bullet and go up. First of all, two executives from other public poachs. Negotiations with them lasted for nearly a month, and finally I was able to lower their annual salary to 450,000 yuan, but I still had to pay the first year's salary first. The shares of the company are what they deserve, and I will not give them less than what I promised to give. Everyone is always young, and they talk and do things very happily, and they start working soon after they have finished talking.
The second thing is that the rent of the new company's office building cannot be paid for half a year in advance. In the end, the direct annual rent was reduced by a whole million. The owner of the company that owns this office building is the rich second generation who drove me into my ass outside the bar last time, wait, it's not finished yet, the rich second generation of his father. Maybe the kid had had enough fun and wanted to find something serious to do, so the old man of his family handed over the matter to him and let him handle it all. When we made an appointment to meet and discuss that day, as soon as we recognized each other, the kid waved his hand directly and said, "Brother, don't say anything, and don't pay half a year's rent first." The annual rent is two million, no bargaining, you can try it for a year first, and you will pay me two years of rent at a time today next year? If I can, I'll ask someone to change the contract right away! ”
Okay, Tainyima, this kid looks like a loser, I don't know what his father will clean up when he gets home, although his father lets him deal with it with all the powers, forget it if he doesn't make money. I can't afford to lose. This kid really has nothing to say when he is a friend, he is too upright. But if it's my son, I'll have to stuff him back in his mother's belly and start over again. I can't afford not to take advantage of this kind of cheapness, otherwise I will really become a bastard.
There is one simpler thing than talking about rent, and that is the wine boss in Qionglai. I thought it might be difficult to make his business. didn't expect that I didn't even say a word from beginning to end, and Xu Mingxiang got him done. Speaking of this guy, he is also a legend in Chengdu. Many people may not know his name, but if you say something, you will definitely have an impression. At the 2006 National Tour Auto Show Chengdu Station, BMW brought ten Z4s. A total of seven cars were sold in ten days, and three of them were moved back home by the people of Qionglai, and two of the three cars were bought by one person, who was the wine boss Xu Mingxiang introduced to us.
Two cars and one for his wife. The other one was given to the little wife. That night, he was dazed by Xu Mingxiang's ecstasy soup, and the contract was completed at that time. It only took four hours to add up, which made me so happy. Xu Mingxiang told me. There is no easier thing in the world to clean up than a man who is both good wine and lustful. Hearing this, my heart tightened, Huaxia and I seem to be this kind of person.
Then there were a lot of bits and pieces, and I was so busy that I was dizzy, and sometimes I couldn't figure out what month or day of the week it was when I woke up.
Three months later, the renovation of the new company had been completed, and Huaxia was anxious to ask the company to move over immediately, but I tried my best to stop it. Even if you want to make money, you have to consider the health of employees. When something goes wrong, it is me and him who are responsible. As soon as Hua Xia heard that he had to take responsibility, he changed his mind stupidly.
This morning, I was woken up from my dream by the alarm clock, as usual, I immediately got up to wash and change clothes, and just about to leave the bedroom, I was stopped by Lu Jieyu who was lying naked on the bed, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where else can I go to work?" I replied as I buttoned up my shirt. Lu Jieyu jumped out of bed naked and hung on my neck, kissed me on the face and said, "Laizi, today Sunday, you have started to take a normal vacation. What other classes do you take? ”
yes, Sunday, and a fart class. I habitually turned on the alarm clock when I went to bed last night, and I lived too actively during this time.
Anyway, I got up, I was idle, I looked at the sky outside the window, the clouds were very thick, it should be cooler, I said to Lu Jieyu: "Let's go, let's go fishing!" ”
Lu Jieyu smiled: "When did you become a hobby of fishing?" I've heard you like to catch crayfish or something. ”
A few days ago, a customer gave me a fishing annual card for Sancha Lake, day and night, casually fishing. It's also a waste to put it there, and you don't have to use it in vain. Thanks to the customer's thoughtfulness, even the fishing gear was prepared for me and kept in the trunk of the Land Rover. Today it can finally come in handy.
Sanshan Lake is located more than 30 kilometers east of Chengdu and is under the jurisdiction of Jianyang. It's a good place to relax. The area of the lake is very large, it has not dried up for hundreds of years, and there are many kinds of fish in it, both domestic and foreign. The larger ones weigh hundreds of pounds. That's what the customer told me. I'm not very demanding, as long as I don't fish for a day and I don't catch any fart.
If you take the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway from Chengdu to Jianyang, it will take nearly one and a half hours. In the past two years, a simplified fast track has been built, which can already reach Sancha Lake directly. So I tried to take this new path.
I didn't talk to Lu Jieyu much along the way, and her mood has not been very stable recently, and she seems a little anxious.
I knew what she was worried about. Although Enoch's death freed her from the clutches of the devil, my danger factor did not decrease at all, but increased. The problem lies with Enoch's father, the legendary vampire big brother Cain. In fact, I always thought that Cain would appear in front of me someday, and maybe kill me to avenge his son.
When I thought of this, my heart was very chaotic, and when I saw Lu Jieyu's sad face, my heart was even more chaotic, so I have been working very hard for the past three months, leaving early and returning late. Sometimes I can really forget about this matter and live like an ordinary office worker, working hard and earning money to support my wife.
I don't know when Cain will show up. But hopefully he'll come as late as possible.
I drove around Sancha Lake for most of the circle, and finally found a place where I could park and get off the pole, and there were many farmhouses nearby, and lunch was also settled.
By the time I had tested the depths of the water, sprinkled the nest, and hung up the bait and threw it into the nest, I was already sweating profusely.
Lu Jieyu took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the sweat beads off my face one by one. I forgot to bring water when I went out, and Lu Jieyu said that she would go to the farmhouse to buy some water and come back.
After a while, a boat came rowing in the middle of the lake, and a man stood on the bow of the boat waving at me. I looked around, there was no one else here but me, did he know me?
When the boat came over and the man came ashore, I was sure that I didn't know him. Among the foreigners, I know only three, one priest has returned to China, and two vampires are dead. I've never seen this foreigner in front of me.
He walked over to a flat area beside me and sat down on the floor. I couldn't figure out what this middle-aged man with silver hair was trying to do.
He was like I knew him well. Keep asking me if there are more fish here? Did you catch it? and a series of boring questions. What surprised me was that he spoke Mandarin much better than me, and I was dealing with a group of Sichuan people when I was messing around, so the Mandarin he spoke so far was very salt-and-pepper. The man seems to have been in China for some time.
When I was about to ignore him, he suddenly said with emotion: "I haven't been to China for many years." ”
I was instantly curious. "Haven't you always lived in China?" ”
"I lived in China for a while many years ago, and after so many years, I didn't expect that I would still be able to communicate with Chinese." He said with a smile.
"What was the last time you were in China?" When I asked him, I handed him a cigarette and he took it. said: "I can't remember, anyway, you weren't born at that time." ”
Haven't I been born yet? It can't be, he looks like he's in his early forties at most. Speaking of old-fashioned words. I jokingly said, "You won't be a member of the Eight-Nation Alliance, will you?" ”
He took the lit cigarette to his mouth and inhaled it violently, and in one breath he sucked the whole cigarette near the filter before stopping, and the whole cigarette turned into sparks, and before it could turn into ashes.
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it with his foot, and said, "Many, many years earlier than that." ”
I put the rod down, turned my head to look at him seriously, and asked, "Sir, who are you?" ”
The man smiled, stood up, and said, "You dare to kill my son without even knowing who I am, you are such a daring boy." After finishing speaking, his face changed, and a powerful breath burst out from his body, and the invisible force shook me far away, I supported the ground with one hand, and after stabilizing my body, the tail fingers, nameless, and middle fingers of both hands intersected and buckled, and the fingers and index fingers naturally closed, and shouted in my mouth: "Pro!" ”
The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, stood motionless five meters away, and said, "It seems that I still have some ability to kill my son." But that won't stop me from killing you. ”
"Father!" When Lu Jieyu came back from buying water, she stood behind me and shouted in surprise.
Lu Jieyu called this man his father, this man said I killed his son, no need to guess, this person in front of him is the famous man, the first murderer in history in the legend, and the first vampire, Cain.
Lu Jieyu stopped in front of me and said to Cain: "Father, if you want to kill him, even kill him with me." ”
Cain closed his eyes and sighed, "Your eldest brother can't die in vain, if you must stand up for this kid, I will really kill you together." ”
I pushed Lu Jieyu away and shouted loudly: "I killed your son, you just come at me, although Jieyu is not your own, but you can call you a father, you can't kill her." ”
When this man's strength first appeared, I knew that it would never be his opponent, and it would be futile to resist desperately.
"Hahahaha" A burst of laughter came from far and near, the voice was obviously coming from a long distance, but it didn't take long for the owner of the voice to appear in front of everyone, only to hear him say to Cain: "Old thing, what are you kidding with the two juniors?" Look at the one that scared the little couple. ”
This man dared to call Cain an old thing, and they were still old acquaintances. I looked at him closely. At about sixty years old, his hair was also white, but gray, very different from Cain's silver-white. The top of his head was already bald, the wrinkles on his face looked quite vicissitudes, and his eyes were a little white, like cataracts. He wasn't tall. His face was covered with age spots, and no matter how you looked at it, he was just an ordinary bad old man.
Cain smiled and said, "Old friend, how many years haven't you seen you?" How did you get yourself to look like this? ”
The old man said: "No matter how you say it, you have lived for thousands of years, and you still have to recognize your old age, you think that you are like you, you have never changed, and you are still tidying up like a young man at such an old age." ”
Cain was embarrassed: "What's wrong with living younger?" Besides, I've always been like this, and I can't change if I want to. ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Gossip is not mentioned." Say, what are you doing on my turf? The sons and sons of that old thing of the LORD will not hunt you down? ”
"If those little things want to kill me, they will not be able to kill me, even if Jehovah himself does it. Besides, the sect's goal right now is not on me at all, someone has kept them busy. I'm here to avenge my son, of course. Cain said nonchalantly.
The old man's face darkened, and he said, "As for the little thing your bastard son did in the west, it is not enough to die a hundred times, and if you are killed by my apprentice, you will be killed." Do you really think you can get revenge? Besides, don't think I don't know, your son's sudden desire to marry Jieyu is all your bad idea. You don't understand what kind of wishful thinking you're playing. It was you who sent your son on his way, not my apprentice. ”
Apprentice? I'm talking about it, I seem to know who this old man is, no wonder it's so familiar. I gave Lu Jieyu on the side an inquiring look. Lu Jieyu nodded, which was an answer to the question in my heart.
Cain laughed "hehe" and said, "Just kidding." Don't get angry just yet. Enoch's kid really deserved to die, causing Lao Tzu to hide in Tibet for many years and not live a stable life. I've always had a killer against him, but I haven't been able to do it. Now he's dead. I was still a little sad in my heart, and suddenly I thought that I had a baby daughter, so I came to China, and this time I came to pick up Jessie. ”
"What?" I cried out.
Cain ignored me and continued, "Old thing, you can't take care of my own daughter, right? If you don't let people go, it's a bit unreasonable, and if you really do it, I don't necessarily mean that I am not your opponent. ”
Before the old man could speak, I shouted, "No, Lu Jieyu won't go anywhere, just stay here." If you want to take her, kill me. ”
The old man said angrily: "Rebel, kneel down for me." ”
My whole body was shocked, my legs and feet were weak, and I actually knelt down. I didn't dare to let go of a fart when I knelt in front of this old man, it was the first time I had grown so big. I said aggrievedly, "Master, you have to make decisions for me. ”
This old man is Jishi, and he has been my master for more than 2,000 years, although I don't remember the existence of such a number one person.
Enoch snorted and said, "Old friend, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll leave first." After that, he walked slowly down the road.
After a long time, Ji Shi took a deep breath and said to Jieyu: "Jieyu, you go back with that old ghost first, I don't think he will look for you for no reason, there must be something that needs you." It won't be long before you'll be back. ”
His words were equivalent to saying to me, and they reassured me. Since he has said so as a master, what opinion can I express as a green-ass kid in front of him?
Ji Shi left, he didn't say a word to me, and for some reason, I always felt that he didn't like me. If you don't like it, why do you want to take me as an apprentice, even though I haven't seen him in nearly thirty years, or don't know him at all.
Two days later, the day of parting came, I sent Lu Jieyu to the airport, Huaxia and Xu Mingxiang were going to follow, I said nothing, because I was afraid that I couldn't help but shed horse urine and be laughed at by them. In the past two days, we have a tacit understanding, and we have not said a word about her leaving.
Outside the security gate, we looked at each other, and we could see the reluctance in each other's eyes. We don't know when we'll see each other again, but I'm sure she'll be back sooner or later. Until her back slowly faded from my view. I just turned around and prepared to leave.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a particularly familiar face, "I'll go, why are you here with an old immortal, didn't you take Jieyu away?" She's gone, what are you doing here? ”
This man is Cain, how can he be here?
"Although I'm a little afraid of your master, you can't be too big or small, even if you marry my daughter in the future, I am also your father-in-law, should you be polite to me? And I didn't say I wanted to go with her, I haven't been to China for so many years, so I always have to play for a few more days. Cain feigned seriousness.
I didn't react for a while, the old immortal had already gone away, and I chased after me and shouted, "Old guy, did you agree to marry Jieyu to me?" ”
Cain paused in the distance and responded with one side of his face: "Look at your performance, I'll just let Jieyu go back and deal with the mess left by her eldest brother, you kid will wait patiently for me." ”
Now my heart is finally at ease. (To be continued......)
